7.77.7--. .w_m 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. rib»— m‘mmukmfimmddmwhmmflm [561ml over a televr'g'on new: m. l UNIVERSIIY 0f KENIUCKY.

KENTUCKY um BARTON Kerrie/rial] 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.
