POIiGB arrest SIISIIBCT ill sorority break-ins

Man apprehended
in M1. King Library

By Brenna Reilly
Sniff H "riter
and Stephen Trimhle

Erma/tic Editor

UK police arrested 24—year—old Michael Thomas
yesterday in connection with Sunday‘s break-in at Pi
Beta Phi social sorority house after a Pi Phi member
said she recognized him at Margaret I. King Library
South.

Police are investigating whether Thomas was
involved in a string of sorority break—ins over the past
year.

Thomas, who lives at 351 Kirklevington Drive,
No. 174, was charged with second—degree burglary
and harassment, UK spokesman Ralph Derickson
said.

His bail was set at $7,750 last night, and he was

detained in the Fayette County Detention Center, a

jail official said.

Thomas was identified in the library by Pi Phi

member Gina Casnellie after he allegedly
pinched her as she studied.

“I turned around and saw a man run
behind the bookshelves," Casnellie said.

Casnellie said she then walked around
the shelves and saw Thomas.

She said she thought Thomas “strong-
ly resembled" the man who broke into the
Pi Phi house this weekend. She said she
went back to the table where she was
studying and told a friend.

She and her friend then rushed to the
lobby and asked a front desk clerk to call
police.

“I was scared,” Casnellie said. “I felt
really threatened. He knew I saw him, and
I knew I had to do something."

Mike Lach, associate director of the
library, said UK police responded within

two and half minutes and allowed no one to enter or

leave the library for five to 10 minutes.

Casnellie searched the library with police and

found Thomas on the third floor. She then identified

him as the man who pinched her and as the

intruder in the Pi Phi house, Derickson
said.

Casnellie said she recognized Thomas
because she saw him in the stairwell ofthe
Pi Phi house Sunday.

“I was going tip the stairs, and we
passed each other," said Casnellie, a physi
ical therapy senior.

After questioning Thomas in an office
behind the circulation desk yesterday,
police led him out of the library.

Eyewitnesses Ali Akhlaghi and Matt
Usher said police explained to them that
they had arrested a suspect in Sorority
Circle incidents.

jail officials said Thomas will be
arraigned today at 9 a.m.

Derickson said an investigation is con-
tinuing into earlier sorority break-ins, but

no further charges have been filed against Thomas.

UK Police Chief “EH. NIcCoinas was not in his

office to comment on the arrest yesterday, and no
one else in the department would comment.

However, in an interview this summer, McComas
said UK police had missed a chance to catch a suspect
in earlier sorority break—ins during another winding
chase through the library last year.

(Iasnellie said yesterday was the third time she had
seen 'I‘hoiiias. Besides Sunday night's break-in, she
said also had seen him leaving the Alpha Gamma
Delta social sorority house after a September bur~
glary.

UK police speculated last year that one man was
responsible for a string of sorority house break—ins
from November through January. The break-ins
continued this semester.

Police said a burglar stole $100 from the Pi Phi
house Sunday night during a break-in around 9 pin.
The burglar apparently entered through an open
window on the first floor.

The Pi Phi burglary was the second break—in
reported at a sorority house this semester. A burglar
also stole $200 from the Alpha Gamma house on

The burden of those pre-semester hassles may be
lightened with UK’s invrlvement in a new student
loan program.

The new system, which was implemented by the
US. Department of Education, will cut the number
of steps in the loan process for the students, said Judy
Marshall, financial aid ombudsman.

The current system, which is throu h the Ken-
tucky Higher Education Assistance Aut ority, has a
number of steps before the student can get money
for education.

First they must fill out the necessary forms,
receive notification of amount from state and take
forms to bank and wait for the bank to process the
loan through an outside guaranty agency. Marshall
said the process can take from four to eight weeks.

The new process, called Direct Lending, cuts
banks and lending agencies from the picture because
loans are made directly from the federal government.
By streamlining the process, the time frame for wait-
ing on a loan can be cut to about two or three days.

“Students won't know a lot of what is oing on
behind the scenes," said Marshall, who sai the new
system will put more students’ minds at ease.

Direct Lending also places more control in the
hands ofthe school.

“\Vhen students had to wait on their loans before,
we were helpless as a University because we won’t
have control over the system,” Marshall said.

The new process will begin at UK and nearly
1,800 other schools in fall 1995. Last year, 104
schools took part in the pilot program.

Jack Blanton, UK’s vice chancellor for Adminis—
tration, said there are several reason for using the
new pro ram. The recordkeeping process is much
simpler fiecause funds can be electronically trans-
ferred, rather than mailed, and it should be easier on
the financial aid staffand student applicants, he said.

Another change will affect how the loans can be
paid back. Direct Lending has four payment options,
one of which would be contingent on the student’s
after-graduation income.

Marshall said the new pro am should save time
for staffin the financial aid office and should free up
more time for debt counseling for students.

‘Rather than the bank having the loans, we’ve got
you here. We’ve got a captive audience," she said.

When the plan was first announced, KHEAA offi-
cials said UK students would lose loan money
because of the switch, but Blanton said no money
will be lost in the change.

He said the change was necessary because many
other larger universities applied to the new system to
stay competitive.

Kentucky State University, Morehead State Uni—
versity and Western Kentucky University are the
other three state universities included in the second
year ofthe rogram.

Marshal said information will be sent to students
throughout the spring semester to help them learn
about the new steps.

Registrar Baht leaving "ii alter decade at IIOST

By Cynthia Wan
Staff Writer

University Registrar Randall Dahl is leaving his
post at the end this semester after serving at UK for
almost a decade.

DahI accepted a position as the director of admis-
sions at the University of Alabama. He also will over-
see the registration office and the testing center,
which are branches of the admissions office.

"It’s a good opportunity for professional advance-
ment,” he said.

Since the structure of the institution is different
from that of UK's, Alabama allows a broader possi-
bility for his career development, Dahl said.

He said he enjoyed his time working at
UK. He was especially pleased with some
of the progresses the admissions office
made in services provided for both students
and professors.

“ 'm happy to see the admissions office
is giving more better and higher quality
services,” he said. “It is making important
contributions to the Universi .”

However, there is stil room for
improvement in some areas, he said. And a
stronger computer support is the key.

The degree auditing process also should
be refined.

“Students should be able to tell what

major, the should know where they
stand in t at degree —— all over the
com uter.

“ c really need a big final push in
the students’ academic advising sys-
tem.”

Dahl was nominated by a colleague
at another institution to the Alabama
post. The undergraduate admissions
office will search for someone to fill the
vacancy left by Dahl next semester.
Meanwhile, an actin university regis-

WASHINGTON — President Clinton is offer-

Bosnia to help evacuate 24,000 LUV. peacekeepers,
a mission U.S. officials said could put Americans
soldiers in harm’s way for weeks.

Until now, Clinton has steadfastly refused to
insert American troops into the conflict in Bosnia.
Now he has authorized their use to remove the
peacekeepers that may be the only remaining blockA

ATLANTA ~~ Americans who never graduated
from high school are more likely to smoke, live a

health officials said yesterday.

The report by the Centers for Disease Control

on the health of all races in the United States, said
Nora Keenan, an epidemiologist with the center.

It found that the correlation between health and
education _. first noted in whites .__ existed across

Smoking, excess weight and lack of exercise put
people .it risk for heart disease. stroke. diabetes and

“hen the Lady Kats battle
\A'estern Kentucky, the game
always seems to go down to the
wire. In fact, the past three meet—
ings between the schools have
been decided by five points or less.

Three years ago, L'K downed
the Lady Top )ers in 'overtime
before coming back the next sea—
son to defeat \Vesterii on a half
court shot by Stacey Reed as time
expired.

Last season, \Vestern won in
Bowling (ireen 83 A".

“\Vestern is always a big in-
state rivalry for us," said L'K head
coach Sharon Fanning, who has
com iiled a I i record against
\VK '. “\Ve've had some great
games over the vears."

This year \Vestern comes into
.\lemorial (ioliseuni ranked 17th
in the nation and sporting an
impressive 4 () overall record.

()n the other hand, the Lady
Kats will be looking to break a
twwgame losing streak .is they
return Memorial (Ioliseum for the

first time in more than a week.

“I think you can throw out the
records and throw out the statis
tics," said \VKU head coach Paul
Sanderford, whose team returns
five seniors. “It's always been a
tight game in the past. “'e're just
going to come out and play hard."

Recruiting battles between the
two schools are not uncommon
and help add fuel to the series.

In fact, L'K forward Vonda
_lackson orally committed to play
basketball for Sanderford and the
Lady Toppers. However, inst
before the signing deadline,_lack-~
son's father steered the Manch—
ester native toward liamiiiig and
the Lady Kats.

After ilaying in just five games
for the Kats,_lacksoii is averaging
9.8 points per game comingr off
the bench.

“\Ve were really disappointed
to lose Vonda," Sanderford said.
“She is a solid player and seems to

put the (Eats in the Top 10 the way
they played \N'ednesday. The
“'ildcats need a leader, someone
(anyone?) who can take over a
game a la Detroit Piston and for—
mer Duke star Grant Hill.

Delk? Delk seemed to be a
viable candidate for a while but
has had poor outings. When he is
into the flow of the game, there's
no doubt he’s counted on to carry
UK. But will a frustrated Delk
mean a frustrated team?

Rhodes? See Rhodes, Rodrick
above.

McCarty? He's calm and cool,
will take the big shot (and usually
make it), and he has some experi~
ence. lfhe were a bit more vocal,
he might be the man.

“'alker? Don’t scoff. He's got
the emotion thing down. Better
.shot selection and more moves
like the one late in the IU game,
and he could be top candidate for
the job.

Anthony Epps? It would make
sense, his being the starting point
guard and all. A little more confi-
dence and overall intensity and
he‘s in.

\Vhoever it is, the (Iats need to
find him quickly and start inten—
sive training.

A learned basketballtarian
should realize that, this early in
the season, rankings amount to
Bob Dole's interest in the Smash
ing Pumpkins.

Good thing for UK the only
polls that really matter come at the
end of the year. There's time to
organize. (iet some plays down.
Learn the half—court offense and
perfect the press. Grow up a bit.

I think you'll see a different
team next semester, after Pitino
has unlimited hours to spend
drilling the Cats without those
petty classes to worry about.

To see how far they've come,
watch the Florida game the night
before classes begin again.

The ultimate date in the “Wild-
cat year will be at Arkansas. Play
tough there, you play tough any—
where. As things stand, the VVild—
cats look as if they're still trying to
get it together.

Wildcats to battle Boston ii. 1,

By Bretl Dawson
Spam I idltm'

You'll have to excuse Boston
University’s basketball players if
they have the slightest case of
stage fright this weekend.

Boston, you see, has played
four games this season, in front of
a total of 11,974 fans. The Terri—
ers (3-1) will see a sea of more
than twice that ruany blue-clad
UK fans when they visit Rupp
Arena on Saturday night for an 8
p.m. game with the seventh-
ranked \Vildcats (3 ~ I ).

I’or UK's players, Boston U.
probably will provide very little
stress. The (Iats, after all, are
coming offa trio of games against
quality opponents, including back—
to~back games with perennial
powers UCLA and Indiana.

For UK's coach. though, the
game will have slightly tnore
meaning. Boston was the first stop
on Rick Pitino's tour of head
coaching jobs. Pitino, in his sixth
season at UK, coached the Terri~
ers to a 91—51 record from 1978 to
’83.

Pitino’s concerns, though, are
with his current team, one that
appears on the verge of scraping
its vast potential, according to
Pitino, particularly when you take
into account L’K’s 73-70 win over
Indiana on \Vednesday.

The \Vildcats put it together
defensively in that effort, holding
forcing Indiana’s ball—control
offense into 24 turnovers.

But even though UK gave the
ball to [U only 13 times on the
game, the Cats have sotne strides
to make offensively, as evidenced
by their 38 per—
cent shooting on
\Vednesday night.

As long as UK
can keep winning
while it waits for
the offense to
come around,
though, Pitino
will be happy.

“\Ve will shoot
better," Pitino said. “What we've
been trying to preach with this
basketball team is to win with your
defense.”
