As a senior at Henry (’lay High
School in 1985. Michael Huang spent a
lot of time trying to decide where he
wanted to go to college

His to grade point average and im
pressiye list of activities opened his op-
tions to many prominent schools. in
cluding Johns Hopkins and Washington
universities

But then l'K made Huang an offer he
couldn‘t refuse

Huang \«as named one of the
seven recipients of the tttis .\
gletary scholarship. the largest
academic scholarship t 'K offers

The scholarship pays for the full cost
of attending ['K including tuition. room

Dwane Casey says his life goes on

Then he speaks With a clarity not coin

He is intent his mind apparently on
nothing but basketball

At his Memorial t'oliseum office. (‘asey
works in a \varmup \lllI. comparing game
philosophies. planning recruiting trips and
talking With plavers The only indication
that things aren‘t normal is the frequent
presence of (‘asey‘s attorney. Joe Hill
Campbell. at the ('oliseuni athletic offices.

But (‘asey's concern about his involve»
ment in several allegations of rules viola-
tions levied against the [K program by
the NCAA is undetectable from the out—
side

”You can‘t tell .niything‘s wrong Not
\’lSll’)l_\' anyway." said l'K sophomore bas-
ketball player LeRon Ellis.

"Everybody knows that he‘s undergoing
a lot It has to be very nerve-racking. But
he doesn't relay that feeling to us. He
doesn't bring it out on the court With him."
hesaid.

Casey. an aSSIstant coach who came to
UK in 1986. is mentioned in several of the
allegations against the basketball pro‘
gram. The most serious is the accusation
that he sent 81.000 in cash to the father of a
basketball recruit in California. Since the
controversy surfaced last spring. (‘asey‘s
future at UK has been a question mark.

“It‘s taken a toll." (‘asey said. “But you
can‘t let it get to you. But every once in a

"He's a class act." Haskins said "He's

But last March. employees of Emery

popped open in transit The package con-
tamed a videotape sent from ('asey to

Since then. several additional allegations
have been handed down by the NCAA men-
tioning (‘asey‘s name in connection with
other payoffs and illegal transportation of
recruits. Other members of the l'K pro

The [TniverSity is now conducting its in

I did at UK would show . . . tthe
scholarshipt is a worthy thing. “

Once they were selected. certain
distinct requirements .,. and not so
distinct expectations _, were
placed on them.

As Singletary scholars. they were
expected to maintain at least a 3.0
grade point average But more
than that, according to Sands. as
the first Singletary scholars, they
had to set an example for the stan—
dard of the scholarship and show
its worth to UK

“They were the. pioneers,“ Sands
said. “1 don't think they realize
how much rested on their shoul»
ders, They can be proud.“

After noting the academic suc-
cess of these students, Singletary
agreed to allocate funds for more
of the scholarships the following
year. with the hopes of having
enough money to have at least 10
scholars in every following class.
Sands said

Nine students received the schol-
arship in 1986. and in the past two
years to and 11 scholarships were
awarded . respectively. This year
two community college students
also received the scholarship.

"We didn‘t get tthe number of
scholarshipsi from seven to 10."
Harders said “They tthe seniors)
got it from seven to 10 "

Although the expectations for the
seniors were particularly high their
first year. standards have contin~
ued to be high for them and all the
other Singletary scholarship win-
ners In fact. the minimum GPA to
keep the scholarship now is 3.3.

message we have high expecta-
tions." Sands said. “There is a spe-

One of the main considerations
Otis A. Singletary faced after his
retirement from the L'K presidency
more than a year ago was finding a
new place to live

So he and his wife. (ilorin

Singletary speaks with pride
about the Smglelary scholarship

ful products of his administration.
and continually praises the l'nivci
sity as a whole

“They‘re very good scholarships
It gives me a very good feeling

particular. and possibly resume
teaching

Singletary taught graduate histo-
ry courses at the University of
Texas before becoming president
of UK.

"The history department invited
me to teach a course if I wanted to,
but I'm not quite ready for that, al-
though I don't know. I may yet do
that. I‘ve been away for 20 years
from the classroom." he said.

“(in the one hand. I liked my tea
ching, . . and 1 may go back to it.
I‘m clearly not ready to do it yet.
it would take a lot of work for me
to get back. but if I do go back to
teaching. I'll probably go back to
the history department and teach a
good survey course

“That's what I like to do — get

those freshmen and sophomores

and get them interested in it."

This interest in students' educa-
tion and development is what kept
Singletary gomg during his years
as president. he said.

The University. he said. “is sig-
nificant in the life of not just the
state but of every single one of
those kids who come here. So I
never had to worry about whether
what I was doing was worthwhile. I
knew it was. and that's a great
feeling "

In looking back on his adminis-
tration. Singletary said some of the
highlights include the physical de-
velopment of the campus and in
crease in the quality of faculty and
students

"The obvious thing is we budt
this place. we butlt it physically
The modern l'niversity' of Ken-
tucky was butlt in those years." he
said.

"I think that we made a number
of qualitative advances both in
terms of students. selective admis
stons. better scholarships tWet
maintained a very good faculty
here

“And somebody else told me in
terms of the fund-raising that we
not only in our time here raised
more money than any other presi-
dent. but we raised more money
than all the other presidcnm put to
gethcr in the history of this place "

Singletary said there also were
“thousands of things" he would
have done differently. but he said
as president “you have to make
judgments about a lot of things you
don't know a whole lot about. so
you're going to make mistakes.
and there's nothing new about that,

"Yeah. I made lots of them, and

cial obligation on them not to waste
l the scholarship t . "

Singletary, who speaks to all the
scholars and their parents at the
beginning of the school year, said
he makes it “very clear to them
that they were chosen for academ-
ic excellence, and that's what we
want first of all. We expect them to
be superb in their studies. “

But besides just good grades.
Harders said they expect from the
students “involvement in UK. to be
an example of the kind of student
UK wants."

Although most of the seniors said
administrators didn‘t put direct
pressure on them to perform well.
they said they still feel that respon-
sibility.

“It's pretty much implied they
expect us to be outstanding college
students and leaders in govern-
ment. business, research. etc."
Wade said.

“It's pressure. but if people don't
expect something of you. some peo—
ple won't perform to the level they
could otherwise," he said.

"You do feel an obligation to
make the University a better
place," Allard said. “You feel like
you‘re part of an elite group. "

UK seems to have gotten back a
large return on its investment in
this first group through both their
academic success and their iii-
volvement in the University

They all have maintained very
high grade point averages in stud-
ies ranging from pre-med and elec7
trical engineering to economics
and French, and their goals vary
from being a college professor to
helping the development of (‘entral
American countries

They are members of and lead—
ers in numerous honor societies
and have won several awards.
Wade. for instance. is vice chair-
man of (‘ollegiaiis for Academic
Excellence and received the Sin-
gletary award for outstanding ju-
nior last year because of his serv~
ice to the University,

Gibson was awarded one of the
ten Gaines Fellowships given by
the UK Honors Program his sopho
more year. This prestigious award
gives monetary grants in the junior
and senior years and promotes
study in the humanities.

And Huang serves as president of
UK‘s chapter of Omicron Delta
Kappa. a national leadership hon»
orary. as academic recruitment
chairmen for (Ali). and as
scholarship chairman for Sigma
Chi fraternity.

“I almost feel obligated to put
back and get involved.” said
Huang. “I felt a little responsibility
. . .butitwasfun."

Several of the students said the
scholarship has enabled them to do
so much since they did not have to
spend time working to earn money,
as many college students do

Also. the extra money given for
miscellaneous expenses can be put
toward such things as. organization
membership (lites. fraternity costs
or travel.

After paying their bill for tuttioii
and room and board. the Siiigletary
scholarship recipients usually re
ceive refund checks amounting to
nearly $2.00tta year

‘lt‘s given us more options.
said Allard. who used sonic of his
scholarship money to defray the
costs of joining Phi Kappa Psi
fraternity "l didn't lime to work
lt freed up some time "

(iibson said the scholarship
money "most detiiiitt-ly' helped
pay his expenses for studying llt
F‘rancc last yea:

By joining various itroiips .i'l’t
enriching their own tollcge expert
cnces. the students contribute more
to UK. according to ’l‘ichciioi'

“That‘s one thing I can tell about
this senior class,” he said "\\c'tc
putting some of this money to

make better
place."

Theoretically the extra money al-
located for personal expenses could
be used for additional scholarships.
But the general consensus among
administrators and the students is
that the large monetary amount is
a necessary distinction of the Sin-
gletary scholarship.

“I think it baSIcally pays for how
much it costs to go to school up
here." said Wade.

“It seems like we get an awful
lot of money. but to attract the top
students they need that," Huang
said “As incentives they need it."

In that sense. the Singletary
scholarship program seems to be
working as its popularity and pres-
tige have grown greatly since 1985.

Of the 653 high school seniors
that met UK's general scholarship
requirements last spring. 204 were
qualified for the Singletary schol-
arship. This marks a dramatic in-
crease in the number and quality
of students who apply for schol—
arships

In 1986. 134 out of 470 students
met the Singletary requirements.

“This year had the most students
eligible for the Singlctary sch0l~

catcs to me that the very top stu.
dents are looking at [K more and
more Probably every top high
school student in Kentucky knows
about the Singlctai‘y' award "

"iStudciitsi are definitely aware
of it." said Ncsba Sumner. a

School in Louisville

“Each year it‘s getting a little
more prestigious A lot of our kids

Singlctary said he could synipa

”It's a tough place." Singletary
said “But he's doinga good job ”

Singletary did. however. express
concern over the seeming lack of
concern for higher education in
Kentucky

“In the long run. the question is

will the state of Kentucky ever

decide to support a tii'st»iate uni~
versity"? It never has." he said

“PrcSIdents keep working at it.

carried that message for years
about the needs over here You're
going to have to change the

“The haunting fear is that
you're not going to change the

mindset because this place is
very close to being a topdrawcr
university '

him is that Kentuckians aren‘t
willing to sacrifice by paying high

helpful

“I have a lot of friends around

it you're like me and planning a paity
this weekend vou knoyy that one oi the es
sentials is to have good music on hand

That‘s where albums like these i\\'t)
come in handy In a time when the music
scene is dominated by teen queens and
heavy metal hairdo bands. records like
these put the fun back into music.

Zydeco is well-nigh impossible to listen
to without getting the urge to get up and
dance With a major label to support him
Buckwheat Zydeco is doing his best to
bring the LouiSIana sound to the masses

Bucku'heat‘s instrument of choice is the
accordion. an integral part of any zydeco

accordion that eiycs the music its unisoine
ti'olic

Like l’atil l‘riidhoninic or Justin Wilson.
liiickubeat cooks up a pleastng platter lib
erally sprinkling his accordion throughout
like cayenne pepper and gives the music
its spicy tlayor

Besides. itiickuheat‘s got Eric t‘lapton
dropping by to play lead guitar on his
cover ot Derek and the Dominoes's "Why
Does Low (lot ’l‘o lie Sad " t'lapton is ob
