ESTABLISHED 1894

By Tiffany Gilmartin
SraﬂW'riter

The Lexington Police
Department is asking for student
cooperation to identify people
responsible for the destruction
that occurred after the UK
national championship game.

A news conference held at the
downtown headquarters yester-
day asked the media to help solve
the crimes.

“The best way to solve crimes
in Lexin on is often the media,”
Sgt. Mar Bernard said.

So the police are asking any-
one who has any photos or videos
of the celebration to turn them
over to the police.

“People may not realize that
what they have is beneﬁcial,”
Lexington Police ofﬁcer Cristie
Taylor said.

Currently, the police have 14
felony and eight misdemeanor
cases under investigation. Dam-
ages from Monday’s celebration
had been estimated at $37,000.

Police have photos of those
who tipped over the Channel 36
news van and would like to speak
,with people who were in the
immediate area when it occurred.

“We would especially like to
talk with people who had their
hands on that vehicle,” Bernard
said.

They are also looking for
information about a student’s
truck that was damaged on Ayles-
ford Place.

Bill Taylor, a psychology
senior, also had his car ﬂipped
over on Aylesford Monday night.

The CrimeStoppers Program,
a service provided by Channel 27
and the Lexington Police, is
offering a $1,000 reward for

.. -A».a .._. __._...._. _.

information leadin to an arrest
for ﬂipping over Taylor's Red
Geo Metro. Students with infor—
mation can call the CrimeStop-
pers Hotline Monday through
Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 pm. at
(606) 253—2020.

A video and line-up photos
have been compiled by the police
and are available for viewing by
those who may have witnessed
any criminal activity.

Local news or anizations that
had their materiafsubpoenaed by
the Fayette County Grand Jury
supplied most of this footage.
Police ofﬁcials said all organiza—
tions cooperated to “some
extent.”

“Most people know someone
elsé and were hoping those peo-
ple will come forward," Barnard
said.

So far police have partially
identiﬁed one young man seen in
the area of the news van wearing
fraternity letters. The police
would not elaborate further as to
the identity of the fraternity.

Police have not ruled out
searching UK’s student ID ﬁles,
in order to identify people.

Those who are identiﬁed and
determined to have participated
in the civil disturbance will most
likely be charged with criminal
mischief, but ofﬁcials caution
charges will be left up to the
grand jury.

Police are hoping for informa-
tion about the incidents that
occurred ~—~ especially around the
intersection of Maxwell Street
and Euclid Avenue, Aylesford
and the downtown area.

Those who have footage or
information can contact Bernard
at (606) 258-3 700. Callers do not
have to leave their names.

Pitino letter

DireeTV correspondence

creates eonﬁtsz'on for UK

Associated Press

UK is not hawking DirecTV, despite a
Rick Pitino promotional letter with a UK
return address, ofﬁcials say.

“It should never have been put on a uni—
versity address,” Jim Host, president of
Host Communications, the company that
negotiates endorsement deals for the men’s
basketball coach, said W ednesda .

The March 11 letter, which went to
500,000 people, was written on stationery
that lists Memorial Coliseum in blue type
as Pitino’s address. It also has the UK list-
ing on the envelope.

UK President Charles Wethington said
“a couple of” people had asked whether the
University had paid for the letter or was
involved in any way. He said the answer to
both uestions is no.

“ at’s the location of Rick Pitino’s
ofﬁces,” Wethington said. “Obviously, he
is a University of Kentucky employee.
There’s no attempt to hide the fact he’s a
University of Kentucky employee.”

Pitino, who guided the Wildcats to the

causes 8th

NCAA championship this year, has sold
tacos on national TV for Taco Bell and
endorses cars for Paul Miller in Lexington.
His income from endorsements —— pre—
national championship—- has been esti~
mated at $1 million a year.

But Host said it is not policy to use the
University in Pitino's endorsements.

“It should have never been printed that
way, it was a total error of judgments, it
should not have been done, and it will
never be done again," Host said.

Juanita Fleming, special assistant to the
president for academic affairs, said Univer-
sity employees have full rights to commu—
nicate as citizens ~— but only if it is clear
they are speaking for themselves and not
UK.

“They must make it very, very clear they
are not speaking for the University,” Flem-
ing said.

Steve Bing, a general partner in Direct
Programming Services, which owns the
rights to DirecTV in 38 Kentucky coun—
ties, said his company became interested in
hiring Pitino as a spokesman about a year
ago. He had read a newspaper interview
that quoted Pitino as saying he was losing
sleep because he was watching so much

basketball on DirecTV.

\VASHING'H )N -- \Vithin months ofthe first
Unabomb explosion in a Chicago suburb,
Theodore Kaczynski was fired by his brother for
harassing -a female supervisor at a factory where
they worked in a different suburb, sources close to
the investigation say.

FBI agents followed up the story of the brief,
failed relationship to help complete their picture of
the reclusive former math profcssor who is now
suspected of the Unabomber's 18 years ofattacks, a
law enforcement official said yesterday.

The firing followed a difficult breakup between
Kaczynski and the woman, one source said.

But the breakup and dismissal came after the
first Linabomber attack May 36, W78 A, elsewhere
in the (lhicago suburbs, according to the law
enforcement official u ho spoke on condition of
anonymity.

“'ednesday night, Harwood fatally shot Chao
after a College Republicans meeting where Har-
wood tried to block (Ihao’s election as chairman,
according to police.

Pros- Is on a three-race winning streak. Has only finished off the board once — in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. Zito won the Blue Grass in ’91 With Strike the Gold.
Cons- Has only run once going around two turns (his last start), which was a victory, but defeated a relatively weak field. He has never won on an off-track.

Pros- He is rapidly improving with each start. Day is the only jockey in the race that has won the Blue Grass (1984, 1990). McGaughey almost never runs his horses where

Cons- He has lightly raced and has never won a stake. He was decisively defeated by Diligence last out in Florida. His better days probably lie ahead.

Trainer Nick Zito has taken the Blue
Grass route to the Kentucky Derby before,
but it was with one horse at a time.

Tomorrow, the two-time Kentucky
Derby winner will saddle Diligence and
Louis Quatorze for the 1 1/8—mile Blue
Grass, which he hopes will provide a ticket
to Louisville, Ky., for both 3-year-old colts.

As for the two owners running their hots—
es against each other, Zito said: “They want
to run in the Derby, and the Blue Grass is
the best race to get ready for the Derby for
these two horses at this time."

He admitted, however, that he might not
have run the two colts together if Unbri-
dled’s Song, the early Derby favorite, was in
the Blue Grass instead of the Wood Memo—
rial tomorrow at Aqueduct.

The gray Diligence, unbeaten in three
starts as a 3-year—old, was made the 2-1 early
favorite yesterday. He is owned by George

M. Steinbrenner, the boss of the New York
Yankees.

Louis Quatorze, 2-for—3 as a 3—year-old,
was listed at 8—1. He is owned by Georgia
Hoffman, \Villiam J. Condren and Joseph
M. Cornacchia. Condren and Cornacchia,
along with B. Giles Brophy, owned Strike

, the Gold, who won the Blue Grass and

Derby for Zito in 1991.

Zito‘s other Blue Grass starter was Suave
Prospect, second last year, then 11th in the
Derby.

The trainer’s other Derby winner, Go for
Gin in 1994, prep d in New York.

Others in the $00,000 Blue Grass ﬁeld
are Editor’s Note, 5—2; Draw, 7-2; Skip
Away, 6—1; Semoran, 8-1, and Ensign Ray,
12-]. Each starter will carry 121 pounds, ﬁve

IIII‘BB IliVBI‘S looking
to quality tor trials

Editor’s note: This is the tbird
story in an occasional series on poten—
tial Olympic athletes at UK

By Jill Erwin
Staff Writer

'Three UK divers are going to
next week’s Senior Nationals with
the hopes of advancing to the
Olympic Trials. Tina Johnson,
Beth Leake and Paco Rivera are
aiming to place high enough to
qualify for the trials.

The top-eight ﬁnishers in each
event advance.

VTina Johnson is a three—time
All—American who was named
Southeastern Conference Woman
Diver of the Year last year. She is
now ﬁnishing up her ﬁnal year of
eligibility and looking forward to
the opportunity to vie for an
Olympic spot.

“I have to do
real well at this
meet, ifI want to
make the trials,
which I’m hoping I
will,”Johnson said.
“Now it’s just a
matter of going
into the meet and
being a strong
competitor.”

Johnson has always had a com-
petitive nature.

She be an diving in the eighth
grad; anti participated in soccer
and." nastics. Johnson’s com-
petituveness also helped her
impféve her diving from the 10-
meter‘ platform.

“Last year at nationals, I placed
second in the 10m, and I had only
been; diving platform for two
years,” Johnson said.

“Ir was kind of the underdog,
and I wasn’t expected to do very
well.”

VBeth Leake is going into the
nationals one year after an injury

knocked her out of the NCAA
championships.

“After sitting and watching my
teammates dive while I had a cast
on my leg,” Leake said, “I can
honestly say I was ready to dive
this year.”

It has been quite a year for
Leake. She was named an All-
American and has made great
strides on the 3m springboard.

“Thursday was probably my
best 3m workout of the year,” she
said.

“I have almost an entire new list
since hi h school. All my dives
have eit er changed to pike or
they’ve added a somersault.”

The most difﬁcult dive she per-
forms is a front 3 1/2 pike from
the 3m board. Leake plans to per-
form the dive next week as she
challenges for an invitation to the
Olympic Trials.

“It’s one that
nobody else does
and one I can have
a little fun with,”
she said. “It’s fun
to do it in
warmups, because
everybody’s like,
‘Oh m gosh, a
girl’s oing a 3
1/2.”’

VPaco Rivera, a sophomore
from Woodlands, Texas, is com-
peting in the 1m, the 3m and the
10m platforms.

Rivera said he’s up for the chal-
lenge of the senior nationals.

“I’m feelin pretty conﬁdent,”
he said. “I feeF I’m diving the best
I ever have, and I have a good
chance to do some good things.”

Rivera’s ﬁrst event is the 10m
preliminaries Wednesday after—
noon.

Rivera also will compete in the
1m Thursday morning. The
women will compete in the 3m
preliminaries early on Wednesday

with Johnson performing on the
10m in the afternoon.

The ﬁnal preliminary rounds
are scheduled for Friday, when the
women compete in the 1m and
Rivera will participate in the 3m.

Mike Lyden is the head diving
coach at UK. Lyden was named
SEC Coach of the Year in both
1995 and 1996 in addition to
receiving National Women’s Div-
ing Coach of the Year honors this
season.

“I’ve been in coaching for 16
years and this is the ﬁrst time I’ve
received that kind of recognition,”
Lyden said.

Said Johnson: “Mike and I have
established a really close friend-
ship. He makes you feel good
about who you are as a person. He
has turned my diving around.”

Rivera said that Lyden played a
big role in bringing him to UK.

“(Lyden) is a real good motiva-
tor and a real workaholic,” Rivera
said.

“He doesn’t let you slack a lot;
he deﬁnitely makes you work
hard.”
