football player faces drug charges

By JIM WHITE
Assistant Sports Editor

UK sophomore football player Dee
Smith was arrested in Cincinnati
early last Friday morning for illegal
drug trafficking, according to Ham-
ilton County, Ohio, police records.

Smith. whose full name is Dwight
Shirldon Smith, is being held at the
Hamilton County Justice Center on
two counts of aggravated trafficking
and preparation to distribute co
caine, officials said.

His bail is set at $75,000 for each
count — a total of $150,000, the re-
port said. The 20vyear-old Smith will
remain jailed until his first court ap-
pearance, set for March 4.

 

“I’m a little confused and distraught myself right
now. I have all the faith in the world that
everything will be all right.”

Sheila Smith,
mother

 

“I‘m a little confused and dis
traught myself right now,“ said
Sheila Smith, Dwight‘s mother. “l
have all the faith in the world that
everything will be all right. I just
don't want to say much right now
until I know all the facts."

Cincinnati police reports said

Smith and an unnamed codefendant
tried to sell a US. Drug Enforce-
ment Agency undercover narcotics
agent four ounces of cocaine on Pete
Rose Way — formerly 2nd Street ~—
near Caddy‘s, a downtown niglit
spot.

Smith was trying to sell the drugs

for $5,600. The codefendant arrested
with Smith was carrying a loaded
automatic pistol. the report said.

UK head football coach Jerry Clai»
borne verified the arrest yesterday
but would not comment further.

Football Administrative Assistant
Dick Redding, who was the first at
[SK to be notified about Smith‘s ar—
rest. also declined comment last
night.

Claiborne was out of the country
at the time of the incident and was
told of Smith's arrest when he re—
turned to Lexington late Saturday
night

In a statement released yesterday,
Claiborne said his coaching staff
would wait until the outcome of the

judicial proceedings before deter-
mining what, if any. disciplinary ac-
tions would be taken against Smith.

Smith. a 5-foot-li 182-pound flank-
er from Paducah, caught 23 passes
last season for 420 yards and four
touchdowns. The Tilghman High
School graduate also led the Cats in
punt and kickoff returns.

“It looked like he had a bright fu-
ture ahead of him." said Paducah
Tilghman football coach Alan Cox.
“l‘m shocked and surprised.

"But of course you never can tell
what will happen to a kid when he‘s
growing up. He could have had a
drug habit and nobody would have
known about it. Who knows?“ Cox
said,

 

Cycle Club
practicing
for races

By CINDY JONES
Contributing Writer

Last fall, 14 members of the
UK Cycling Club were on a rou-
tine Sunday training ride on Shel-
by Lane. a hilly, narrow country
road.

It turned out a little more than
routine.

Sheila Kalas was in the middle
of the line with her partner, Bill
Harris, when she was struck on
her shoulder by a metal pole pro-
truding from a passing Winnabe-
go. Kalas crashed onto the road
and Harris landed in a ditch.

The Winnebago continued
along, missing the next few cycl-
ers in line, but then knocked Cur-
tis Tolson, the group leader, off
the road.

The Winnebago braked, then
sped off.

The only damage done was a
crack in Kalas' helmet.

“I was so impressed, the way
the whole bike club acted," Kalas
said, referring to how well every-
one handled their bikes to avoid
the overturned riders. “I felt
very fortunate. They were very
professional."

This weekend, the club is set-
ting out to promote that profes-
sional image in a less dangerous,
though perhaps more important,
event.

UK is currently competing in
the Spring Training Series, which
consists of 11 races held in India—
na, Ohio and Kentucky. These
preseason races allow cyclists to
gain experience and to compare
themselves to others in a compet-
itive race. The first of two the
races were be held this past

weekend — one at Salvisa, Ky. on
Saturday and the other in Dan—
ville, Ky., on Sunday.

The UK club will continue the
competition this weekend with
two races at Louisville.

Cycling is a sport of endurance,
compatible to a high speed aero.
bic workout. Daily rides of usual-
ly 20 miles or more are part of
the more serious, competitive cy.

clists' training program, said Cy-
cling Club President Matt Straub,

Novice and beginner cyclists
usually try to do a few touring
rides a week. This means some-
times covering the same distance
as the serious cyclist only at a
much slower pace.

The UK club has members
ranging from beginners to nation
ally competitive racers. The club
allows novice and beginner cy-

and Ohio.

clists to interact with the more
experienced cyclists, providing
insight into proper training meth~
ods. The club also provides an 0p-
portunity for those cyclists inter-
ested in competing to race with
an organized team.

The club holds weekly meetings
and daily training rides.

“We have a lot of new people
with a lot of potential," Straub

om IRON/Km Sh”

said. “But it will be hard to pre~
dict because it is the first race of
the season. "

The last race in the series will
be sponsored by UK's Cycling
Club. Straub expects a large
turnout and turnover. The club
hopes to me ke a $500 profit from
the race from racer entry fees.

The club, like any other UK
club sport, gets a small amount
of money from the University.

 

 

Wilkinson promotes
school, road plans

By MARK R. CHELLGREN
Associated Press
FRANKFORT — Gov. Wallace
Wilkinson climbed the Capitol steps
yesterday to try a little personal
persuasion on the General Assembly
regarding his education and trans-
portation legislation.

Wilkinson spent nearly an hour in
a closeddoor meeting with Senate
Democrats explaining his education
proposals.

Sen. Nick Kafoglis, D-Bowling
Green, said Wilkinson left no doubt
about wherehestood.

“There is no question about his
fervor, his belief in what he’s
doing," Kafoglis said.

The reception was polite, but sub-
dued, Kafoglis said.

Most of the senators feel some loy-
alty to the meant-es enacted during
the 1%5 special legislative session
and in 1908, Kafoglis said.

“The question in people's minds
was, ‘We've got things that are
yielding good results . . . you’re
asking us to try things that are real-
ly mproven," Kafoglis said.

Wilkinson has conttmed some of
those mm, but is strongly be
hindhisawnplan.1hema)orpartof

the plan proposed in this budget
cycle is a $13 million appropriation
for the poorest school districts and
the beginning of a program to re-
ward individual schools for im-
provements.

Wilkinson wants to spend $70 mil-
lion in the 1990-92 biennium to begin
the rewards.

Kafoglis said senators asked Wil-
kinson if he would press for that
funding even if the state's financial
condition had not improved.

“He said he would fund the pro-
gram," Kafoglis said. “Whether he
would do that by raising taxes or
getting money from other programs
remainstobeseen.“

The reception was a little better
earlier in the day when Wilkinson
met with selected House Democrats
to talk about truck taxes.

The Road Fund is losing money
because of a court ruling that the
state's law requiring large trucks to
buy a decal was unconstitutional.
The total amounts to about 880 mil-
lion each year.

Wilkimon has proposed replacing
the decal with several measures.
primarily a tax based on the weight
of the vehicle and the distance it
travels in Kentucky.

WALLACE maroon

The weight-distance tax. which
was in effect until 1% in Kentucky.
is widely disliked, but representa—
tives attending the meeting with
Wilkimon said they had no real al-
ternative to his plan.

“The administration‘s plan is the
plan that’s going to be considered,“
said Speaker Pro Tem Pete Wor-
thington, D-Ewing.

Rep. Clayton Little, D-Virgie. the
chairman of the House Transporta-
tion Committee, may propose higher
registration fees on large trucks and
an increase in the tax on diesel fuel.

Wilkinson, though, has said he
wants the burden of any new tax to
fall on the same pewle who paid the
decal fee.

 

SGA lobby requesting
help from UK students
on education problems

Staff reports

A stepped-up letterewriting cam-
paign and increased student involve»
ment in the student lobbying effort
are two ways UK students can have
an impact on higher education in the
General Assembly, according to
Lisa Young, chairman of the Student
Advocates for Education.

At a meeting last night with about
six student leaders, Young said that
if students are to have an impact on
state lawmakers. they need to be-
come more involved with actions in
Frankfort.

One way they can do that, Young
said, is by becoming associate lob-
byists,

Associate lobbyists would be “stu-
dent leaders who are very articulate
and know what is going on" in
Frankfort, said James Rose. chair-
man of the UK lobbying effort.

Associate lobbyists would accom-
pany regular student lobbyists to
Frankfort to show lawmakers that
there is campuswide support for
higher education.

“It‘s important to students across
the campus what we‘re looking for

is not a student government lobby-
ing effort. but a campuswide lobby-
ing effort." said SGA President
(‘yndi Weaver.

Young said it is also just as impor~
tant to have a strong letter-writing
campaign to reenforce earlier
impressions students made on legis-
lalors.

Many lawmakers were impressed
by the number of students that
turned out at last month‘s march on
the Capitol and higher education
rally. Young said, but now it is im-
portant to follow up with letters
from student organizations.

“If students put forth some effort,
it really could make a difference,”
she said.

When former chairman of the UK
student lobbying effort David Bot-
kins and student lobbyist Michael
Crosbie stepped down from their po-
sitions, some wondered how the lob-
bying effort would be affected.

But according to Young, “I think
there was no loss and we have a bet-
ter flow of communication" since
the incident.

/ Lady Kat seniors bow out with victory

UK senior forward Bebe Croley (50) takes the ball up the court
during the Lady Kats' win last night.

By 10M SPALDING
Staff Writer

It was seniors’ night for the UK
Lady Kats last evening at Memorial
Coliseum against opponent Virginia

‘ Tech.

And it was only fitting that a UK
semor —— 6—foot forward Bebe Croley
— would make the winning basket
with 17 seconds left to give the Lady
Kats an 80-79 win over the Lady Ho-
kiss

"They were shadowing Jodie
(Whitaker, UK’s point guard) trying
to keep her from shooting the three-
pointer " Croley said “I came off a
pick got the ball and just shot it. "

After Croley’s heroics, the Lady
Hokies called a time-out with :15 on
the clock to set up the winning shot.
But it never came. Whitaker, play-
ing pressure defense, came up with
a steal off a Tech’s Denise Kayajiari
pass with five seconds left and held
on to preserve the Lady Kat victory.

“I‘m just glad (Jodie) came up
with the basketball," said UK coach
Sharon Fanning. “They made a sub-
stitution (during the time-out) and
put in four perimeter players. We
just came up with the loose ball."

Croley‘s heroics capped off a UK
victory that was almost lost. Ken-

tucky was ahead 41~36 at halftime
and stretched that lead to 15 (62—47)

when Whitaker fired in a three-
pointer with 13:01 left in the game.

But Tech made a run of its’ own,
outscoring the Lady Kats 32-16 over
12 minutes to make it a game.

The Lady Hokies, who slipped to
12-14, were led in scoring by 6-foot-4
center Michelle Bain's 20 points.

When Bain put in a shot off a re-
bound, Tech took just their second
lead of the night and were ahead 79-
78 with 33 seconds left.

Then came Croley’s shot and Whi-
taker‘s steal to preserve UK’s sec-
ond straight win.

“We wanted to win badly for both
the team and the seniors,” said UK
forward Pam Shrum, who led the
Lady Kats with 23 points. “We
wanted to go out on a good note."

Kentucky won its second straight
game to end their regular season at
13-14. The Lady Kats will travel to
Albany, Ga., Thursday for the
Southeastern Conference tourna~
merit. UK will play first-round oppo-
nent Vanderbilt Friday at 9 pm.

And while they were happy for the
win, all that was on the players’
minds were the three seniors that
played (or watched) in their last
game at Memorial Coliseum: Cro—
ley, senior forward Monique Taran-
tini and senior guard Michele Pen-
nie, who is injured.

“It really hasn’t hit yet that this is

the last game,” said Tarantini, who

finished her career with 11 points
and five rebounds.“0nce we end the
season, though, I think it’s going to
hurt.”

Croley finished with 19 points and
nine rebounds. It was a good week
for the Lexington native. Sunday she
was named first team all-SEC.

“It was really a big honor," she
said. “I was kind of shocked. I
didn’t play in a lot of SEC games
(Croley was sidelined with a
sprained ankle) but it was nice to be
recognized.” 3‘

Fight mars UK baseball trip

TODD JONES
Sports Editor

The Kentucky baseball team fin-
ished its weekend trip to Florida
Sunday by splitting a pair of games
and almost splitting a few lips.

UK returned home with a 3-1 re-
cord after defeating the University
of Tampa 104 and dropping a 7-6 de-
cision in the final inning to South
Florida later that night

The Cats defeated Tampa 10-8 on
Friday and 10-6 on Saturday.

“I‘m really excited about getting
off to a good start,” Wildcat coach
Keith Madison said. ‘Anytime you
go to Florida — a team from the
north — and you come back with a
3-1 record you got to be pleased."

Tampa was not too pleased about
dropping three games in three days
to the No.23 Cats. That was evident

‘said.

in the sixth inning of Sunday‘s
game.

After Mark Blythe and Chris
Estep hit consecutive homers to put
the Cats up 90 second baseman
Vince Castaldo was plunked on the
leg by a Steve Linde fastball.

Castaldo took first and Darrin Rie~
man followed with a grounder to
third. Castlado made a hard slide
into second to break up the double—
play and it was all hands on deck.

Like Sitting Bull on Gen. Custer.
the whole Tampa infield attacked
Castaldo. Both benches promptly
cleared.

“Sometimes in the heat of battle
those things can happen,“ Madison
“1 think they were frustrated
we were beating them so badly.

“I was really concerned (Castal-
do) would get hurt. Any athlete can
hold their own against another guy.

By STEVE HARDY
Staff Writer

From the opening tip-off to the
final buzzer. they sit and watch.

horn every Rex Chapman float-
ing three-pointer to every Ed Da-
vender weaving scoop shot, they sit
and watch.

It hasn’t been easy standing in the
shadows for UK's trio of freshmen
red shirts this season.

Deron Feldhaus. Johnathon Davis.
and John Pelphrey aren’t accus-
tomed to waving towels and leading
cheers.

Last year in high school, the UK
trio tossed in the baskets to draw
the cheers. This year they lead
them.

“It’s been rough knowing you’re
not going to get in a game," Feld-
haus said. “But it‘s going to help for
the next four years."

Now, the Moot»? forward is con-
tent to work in practice and cheer
from the bench during the games.

“I’ll do anything to help the
team,” Feldhaus said.

That’s the kind of attitude Ken-

But when you have four or five on
top of one guy it‘s kind of scary. It
was actually ridiculous. "

Kentucky will be looking to get
back to more peaceful play today.
The Cats travel to Louisville il-4i
for a 3:00 pm. game at Parkway
Field.

Madison said Doug Sutton will
take the hill for UK. Sutton started
the Cats‘ season opener at Tampa
but did not earn a decision.

“Louisville had a very young team
last year when we beat them." Mad~
ison said. “I‘m expecting a more ex-
perienced team who will be looking
for a bit of revenge.

We assume revenge will be sought
by applying bats to baseballs, not
skulls.

tucky coach Eddie Sutton is glad to
see every day at practice.

“I've seen very few moments
where they've been depressed about
not getting in ballgames,“ Sutton
said. “They’ve handled it in an A
plus manner."

The young trio realizes this season
is a time to learn on the court as
well as in the classroom. They‘re
using this oppurtunity as a stepping
stone for their future.

Sutton said they‘ ve already taken
great strides He has seen a glimpse
of the benefits a red shirt season
provides

"They re much better players
today then they were when they got
here which is very pleasing,” Sut-
ton said ”Because of their dedica-
tion they have gotten better as play-
ers."

And at a school where winning is
expected and losing is tolerated with
the gnashing of teeth. the red shirts
are being primed for the pressure
thatawaits.

That pressure will come next fall
when all three will challenge for
playing time. But until then they

opportunity does come he will be
ready to seize it.

“I think I have a definite chance
of pushing someone for a spot.“ he
said. "I‘m really looking forward to
next year."

With five graduating seniors Sut-

capitalize, The bench will not be so
crowded next season.

“They will all be in a position to
help," he said.

Sutton said at least one of the
group could have lent a hand to the
Wildcat den.

“I do believe had Deron Feldhaus
not been red shirted he would be
helping our ballclub right now.“ Sut-
ton said.

But Sutton knows trading your
first year for your fifth is,__a bargain.
He said he has no second thoughts.

The second thoughts have come

men. But they realize they have a
lot to learn if they want to play in
the future.

Growth need not be
painful if Lexington
and UK cooperate

The joke in many university and college towns is that
without the universities, there wouldn’t be a town.

The relationship between Lexington and the University
of Kentucky has progressed far beyond that dependency.
Nevertheless. the two share a symbiotic existence within a

limited boundary.

Keeping that existence cooperative as both entities
struggle to find room for growth is the tough part. That’s
why we urge city and University officials to sit down and
talk about their respective master growth plans.

Lexington Mayor Scotty Baesler is drafting the city’s
plan for growth. UK has set up a committee to redraft its
master expansion plan. Both eye the new Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard (formerly Harrison Avenue). as the

spot where the plans connect.

Baesler and UK Vice Chancellor for Administration
Jack Blanton. who is chairing UK's revision committee,
have been receptive to suggestions of cooperation. We urge
them to make this receptiveness more concrete.

Developing expansion plans is detailed work — it in-
volves planning utility and communications lines. account-
ing for pedestrian and vehicular traffic, ensuring hand—
icapped accessibility and adequate parking and developing
and renovating additional buildings and landscaping.

There is little room for duplication and error when deal~
ing with such intricate plans and large amounts of money.
Cooperation will not only prevent duplication — it will also
guarantee a more functional and appealing use of prop—

erty.

For example. Blanton suggested building a gateway or
entrance edifice along King Boulevard to introduce people
to the University. A walk around campus will show that a
true entrance to the campus doesn’t exist, the lack of
which plagues many a university within a city.

Also. Baesler has suggested earmarking some city-
owned land for student housing. Ideas like these originate
from cooperation and can only result from cooperation.

UK and Lexington can and should work to build off each

other. not undercut each other.
