Roommate calls victim
‘very compassionate ’

 

By BrIan Bennett
Senior Staff Writer

I See related story. Back Page

 

Though a suspect in last week‘s
murder of UK student Thomas Rob-
inson stayed briefly in the victim's
apartment. he was by no means a
friend. Robinson‘s roommate said.

Robinson first met Richard C.
Staton three weeks ago after the stu-
dent‘s roommate, Jeff Burlew,
brought Staton over. After hearing
Staton's down-on-his-luck story,
Robinson invited Staton to crash at
his apartment.

Less than two days later, Robin-
son and Burlew decided to kick Sta-
ton out. Two weeks later. Staton
was arrested for the abduction and
fatal beating of the 26-year-old
Robinson. Sunday. Robinson was
buried.

It all began when Burlew. a UK
graduate. was helping a friend
move about three years ago in
Louisville, Ky.

Staton. 21. of Ashland. Ky., also
lent a hand with the moving and
struck up a conversation with Bur-
lew.

“When I first met him. he seemed
like a really nice guy." Burlew said.

“No one had any idea then what
kind of individual he was.“

Burlew said he “basically just
kind of hung out" with Staton and
other friends for the next two days.
That was the last he saw of Staton
—- until three weeks ago.

“I was driving down High Street
with my windows down. and I kept
hearing someone shouting. ‘Jeff!
Jeff!‘ " Burlew said. “He said. ‘lt‘s
me' and got into the car.”

Burlew took Staton to his apart-
ment on South Limestone Street.
where Robinson later arrived. Sta-
ton told the two that he was out of
cash and was getting ready to move
in with his sister, Melissa Staton of
Lexington.

It didn‘t take long for the two
roommates to regret inviting Staton
to stay with them.

“After about 12 hours. we were
trying to figure out a way to get rid
of him.“ Burlew said.

Staton slept on his hosts‘ couch
that night and was given a key be-
cause “Tommy and I were both
working a lot." Burlew said.

Molitor’s World Series

 

By Ben Walker
Associated Press

 

PHILADELPHIA —— After a
week of debate about what to do
with designated hitter Paul Molitor.
Toronto manager Cite Gaston has
made up his mind.

Only he's not telling.

“I know what l'm going to do."
Gaston said yesterday. a day before
the Blue Jays play the Philadelphia
Phillies in Game 3 of the World Se-
ries.

“l‘ll announce it tomorrow.“

Gaston. however. did say Todd
Stottlemyre will start Game 4 to
morrow night against Tommy
Greene.

“80 I‘ve made one decision. so
far.“ he said.

But with his other decision under
wraps. speculation about Molitor
continues.

Will he play first base while lefty
John Olerud. the AL batting cham-
pion. sits against left-hander Danny
Jackson?

Will he play third base instead of
Ed Sprague?

Will he be benched?

Or will Gaston go game-by-
game?

“it'd be nice to know what‘s go-
ing on." Olerud said after Toronto‘s
workout at Veterans Stadium.

“If we decide to go one way. I‘ll
be pinch-hitting. That could happen.
it would be understandable if it

In a New Year’s frame of mind

UK wins firel bowl chatter;
Curry only looks to Georgia

 

By Doc Purcell
Staff Writer

 

The UK football team has been
doing some pretty strange things
lately. like intently watching the
scores from around the Southeast-
ern Conference and entertaining
bowl scouts at Commonwealth Sta-
dium.

The Cats have been doing all the
things that are staple activity for
championship contenders.

This cenainly is commonplace in
Tuscaloosa. Ala. and Gainesville.
Fla. but in Lexington. it‘s nearly
unheard of.

After four SEC matchups, the
Cats stand at 3-1 and in second
place in the league‘s Eastern Divi-
sion, with a huge clash with peren-
nial power Georgia next on the
schedule.

As the Wildcats enter their final
stretch run. there‘s no doubt the
meeting with the Dawgs Saturday in
Athens, Ga, could make or break
their title hopes.

For the Bulldogs. who hold a sub-
par 3—4 record overall (1-4 in SEC
play). the contest has a totally dif-
ferent meaning. Coming off two
straight victories. the Dawgs are
anxious to continue their midseason
turnaround.

UK coach Bill Curry understands
the magnitude of Saturday‘s meet-
ing and insists the Dawgs never can
be overlooked no matter what the
win-loss column may say.

“We have a challenge to go be-
tween the hedges and face a Geor-
gia team that has made a statement
about its intensity." Curry said at
yesterday‘s press luncheon.

“They have come of age. They
are playing with a lot of young
players who are tremendous ath-
letes. So. they will be the biggest
challenge we've had to date.“

last year. though. Olerud had not
hit .363 in the regular season and
.348 in the playoffs. as he did this
season.

base this year. He was a third base-
man with Milwaukee in the 1980s.

two games in 1990. Since then.
shoulder and arm problems have

Before the Cats can begin dream-
ing of a Christmas holiday spent in
the football-crazed South. they
must sneak by a vaunted Bulldog
offense.

Led by brilliant junior quarter-
back Eric Zeier, who has passed for
1,960 yards and 15 touchdowns on
the season, the Bulldog offense
surely will test a stellar Wildcat

secondary.

“Eric Zeier is the best quarter-
back, by far, that we have seen to
date. He can literally cut you to
pieces." Curry said.

“He can play like a polished NH.
quarterback. and there aren‘t a lot
of college quarterbacks that I can
say that about."

Indeed. Zeier‘s stars have been
impressive, but he isn’t the Dawgs
lone offensive weapon. Running
back Terrell Davis has rushed for
665 yards and two scores.

The Georgia offense certainly
will provide apt opposition for de-
fensive coordinator Mike Archer‘s
unit. 80 with conference suprema-
cy. a New‘s Year‘s Day bowl bid
and. perhaps. a national ranking
hanging in the balance. the pressure
will be on the Wildcats in Sanford
Stadium.

Curry maintains that the Cats.
who are in the conference hunt for
the first time in more than a decade.
will be poised for the challenge.

“The great thing about football is
the practice field.“ he said. “You
get to go on the practice field with
the guys and say, ‘Here‘s what we
are going to do. and we're going to
do it right.‘

“We‘ll be ready to play in Ath-
ens. We can‘t wait to get down

there. This team loves to play foot-
ball."

 

limited his throwing.

Molitor. for the first time in a
week, fielded grounders at third
base and threw to first. He bounced
several throws. and said it was by
design. He also spent a little time
taking ground balls at first.

“I don‘t think my shoulder is a
big problem in getting the throws
there." Molitor said. “I know i can
get it there. You can use the turf to
help you.“

Molitor. like Olerud and Sprague.
said Gaston had not told him what
he intended to do.

EDITORIAL

We‘re in the money .

 

 

That‘s correct. UK. the perennial budget-cut university. has
raised $20 million dollars toward the construction of the badly
needed Central and Life Sciences Library.

We hope this will inspire light bulbs above the heads of our state
legislators when it is time for them to approve the additional mon-
ey needed for the library.

The people of Kentucky believe in higher education. Ordinary
citizens. students and. most especially — as evidenced by Ashland
Oil’s recent gift to the library fund — the business community all
are behind Kentucky schools.

The General Assembly should be. too.

A recent study. whose conclusion was so obvious we wonder
why it was even necessary. found that higher education results in
higher income. That translates into a stronger economy for all of
Kentucky.

l'K President Charles Wethington and other University leaders
have worked above and beyond the call of duty to raise the neces-
sary capital for this project.

Now it is the General Assembly's turn to fully fund a project
that has such expansive support. not to mention great merit.
