HALL Associate Editor UK President Charles Wething- ton was laughing yesterday as a state legislator joked to school su- perintendents about cuts UK will have to make because of the state‘s $155 million revenue shortfall. “I think you fellas are in the cat— bird seat," Rep. Joe Clarke told the superintendents. Charlie, here, is going to have to take a hit." GOV. Wallace Wilkinson an- nounced Monday he is authorizing cuts to account for the shortfall. Spared from the cuts were primary and secondary education, Medicaid and Aid to Families with Depen— dent Children programs. The eight state universities, how- ever, will be required to cut 330 million from their current operating budgets. The laughing could stop when the fallout is realized on Nov. 4. Weth- ington said the state Council on Higher Education will determine how much of the bnmt each univer- sity will have to bear. As the largest institution and flag- ship university in the state system, UK could take the largest cut. However, Wethington did not specify what would be cut until af- ter the CHE meeting. “I think that all pans of our bud- get will be looked at, including va- cant (faculty) lines and cutting ex- penses.” he said. Priorities would be personnel and salaries, he said. That would in- clude money in the current budget to help alleviate inequities in the salaries of women and minorities. In a press conference in Frank- fort, Ky., the governor blamed the recession for the revenue shortfall. “There's no question now that the national recession has taken a toll on state revenues," Wilkinson said. “We‘re not going to have to take some of the drastic steps that other states have taken. and we are not dealing with a crisis." Wethington and Clarke Couple speak on democracy, race relations By BROOKE DAVIS Contributing Writer (D- With recent efforts to create a more culturally diverse and sensi- tive campus at UK, one couple‘s message is welcomed. Frances Moore Lappé and her husband Paul Du Bois are an inter- racial couplc who will speak to- night at 8 on “Race, Power and Self-Interest: ls There Hope for Our Democracy?” at Memorial Hall. An open forum is scheduled for today from 2 to 3:30 pm. in 230 Student Center. A few years ago, the couple founded the Institute for the Arts of Democracy. an organization that encourages to make democracy a way of life and to create a citizen democracy. UK as well as its neighboring sis- ter-state university Kentucky State University has contended with some supposed racial episodes. In August several black students boycotted Student Activities Board functions at UK after the organiza- tion printed a racial slur in this year‘s student datebook. The back cover contained the original lyrics of “My Old Ken- tucky Home." which referred to blacks as “darkies.” SAB officials said the printing was a mistake and See SPEECH. Page 5 Danville) spoke yesterday to educa- tion officials about the Kentucky Educational Reform Act at UK‘s Spindletop Hall. Beforehand, Wethington said he spoke with CHE Executive Director Gary Cox. and asked that the cuts be made equitably. Both Wethington and Clarke pledged that KERA would remain a priority. Clarke said KERA would be funded at the levels mandated when the reform was passed in l990. “If you find something new that you want to do, we won’t have any money to do it with,“ said Clarke, chairman of the House Appropria— tions and Revenue Committee. Wethington pledged to continue supporting the reform act. “UK is giving education reform in Kentucky one of its highest pri— orities,“ Wethington said. UK will “help you in every way that we can within our resources.” Wethington also promised not to fight with primary and secondary education over the cuts. “I think in the time of tight dol- lars and in the time of budget cuts, there’s a tendency for those of us that are funded by state dollars to get in extreme competition with one another,” he said. Within higher education, Weth- ington said he and the other presi- dents would make their institution's case to the CHE. “I think the Council on Higher Education will make that decision and clearly it is in each institution’s interest to minimize the cut in what- ever way they can," he said. Wethington also said the UK Community College System could not afford major cuts at a time when increased enrollment exceeds funding. Clarke said revenues may be flat, at a time when the General Assem- bly will decide the next biennial budget in its session which begins in January. See BUDGET, Page 5 .

The hearing by the university's board of regents is scheduled Fri< day. The board. in the name of its chairman, former Gov. Louie B. Nunn. last week charged President John T. Wolfe Jr. Wllh incompe- tence, misconduct, neglect of duty and refusal to perform his duty. Wolfe's attorneys asked Franklin Circmt Judge William L. Graham for a temporary injunction But Graham rejected Wolfe's cidllll that the board had Violate-d the state open—meetings laws and its t“»\ll by laws when it started the pillsch to remove him. Wolfe and the regents, particular- ly Nunn. have battled for months over Wolfe‘s handling of personnel and finances. Nunn’s critics. including stu- dents, alumni and state coil-rights activists, have alleged racism on the part of the white former governor, They also said the board, under Nunn's control, interferes in the day-today operation of the campus instead of being content to set gen- eral policy. Students occupied the universr- ty's administration building Friday and Saturday in protest. Wolfe‘s complaint charges that Nunn Violated the state open meetings law by singlehandedly calling the Oct. 7 speCial meeting. State law requires two board mem- bers to call a special meeting and the board s try-laws require tour. the complaint alleges. The board also broke the open- meeungs law by taking a final ac tion —- its decision to file the charg es —- in a closed-door session. the complaint said.

An athlete with a gentle touch. one who etui maneuver a soccer ball with case. will outplay a more physical player every time. Yesterday was an exception — UK defeated the Transylvania Pio— neers with force not finesse It was the “rage in the cage.” Thus, UK fielded ll bruisers and coach Sam Wooten’ s WildcaLs de- feated Transylvania 2-0. “Since we played Alabama A& M we've been trying to get our one touch game on or a two«touch game — JUSI knock it around the mid- field. Wooten said. But since the game was so physi‘ cal. UK couldn‘t string more than three consecutive passes together. Wooten said. “They were taking the ball away from us, so we decided to take it long — and it worked for us. “It was just like English soccer _ rage in the cage," he said. The Wildcats” first goal came af- ter 15 minutes, 42 seconds of play in the first half off a penalty kick by UK sophomore Greg Kotzbaucr. Transy was flagged for an illegal act inside the penalty box, giving UK a direct free kick at the Transy goal. Minus the Pioneers goalkeep- er, Jeff Brooks, Kot/bauer would have an obstructed shot on goal. He didn‘t let the opportunity pass him by. Koubauer placed his shot iow and to the left comer. Brooks broke right. The ball sailed over the goal line and into the net. UK 1 Transy 0. Despite its 1-0 lead. UK stuggled offensively against Transy. Most of the first half was played on the East end of the field — in front of UK‘s goal. The Pioneers, lead by senior for— ward Sean Carey. continuously pushed the attack. As a result. the Cats were repeatedly forced to boot the ball, sending it deep into Transy territory. The match developed into physical and sometimes vicious Wed—Saturday 7:30 & 10:00 pm $2.00 at Worsham w/UK |.D. war. The confrontations were many. UK's Travis Hunt and Transy’s Charles Mencias collide at midfield near the end of the first half and were yellow carded by the referee. The yellow card was only a wam- ing. but the pair had to be separated as they traded verbal assaults. Only the end of the first half cooled the rage in the cage. But as the second half began. so continued the rage. After about five minutes of sec— ond-half play, UK committed a foul inside its penalty box and Transy was given a penalty kick at the UK goal. Transy’s player kicked the ball left. It fiew hard and fast toward the net, but right into the outstretched hands of UK goalkeeper Matt Stan- ley. Stanley too, had flown left and was waiting for the shot. He punched it to a UK defender and Transy‘s threat was thwarted. UK's Alex DeFilippo scored the Cats‘ second goal at the 68-minute mark. DeFilippo, racing off the right wing. flipped a light head shot at the Transy goal and the ball skipped across the goal line for a point. Transy, however, continued to attack the UK goal. And Carey continued to lead the attack. Carey, on a direct free kick, chipped the ball Over the UK de- fense and rushed to unleash a shot on goal. But Stanely beat Carey to the ball and smothered it safely into his arms. Minutes later, Carey would take another shot at the UK goal, only to have it flushed out by HAIR UNLIMITED New Tanning Beds _ _ 112%); S._a'2"_- 1 visit $3.00- 5 Visits $10.00 10 visits $17. 95 I Free Tan Visit- with an_y_ Hair Services F-— ——-—-— 266-5800 .

The shot clock was added along with the three-point shot. The NCAA Tournament has escalated into a 64-team spectacle. And tele- vision has brought interest to the sport across the country like no one could have imagined. The UK program itself has seen its share of change. A new arena. four different coaches and an NCAA investigation that resulted in probation caused UK to change its basketball philosophy. In the 19803 alone there were three different UK coaches, and with them, three different philoso phies on how to play the game. Joe B. Hall emphasized the cen- ter and utilized the post—up game. Eddie Sutton preferred a slow tem- po offense, utilizing the perimeter shooting. And of course, current head coach Rick Pitino is a propo- nent of the up-tempo. run-at-all- costs style along with the three- point shot. Since last season, Reggie Hanson and Jonathon Davis have graduated and five new faces are wearing UK blue. Mike Atkinson, head coach last season at Suffolk, N.Y., Com- munity College, is replacing Tubby Smith, who has moved on to be- come head coach at Tulsa. One thing, however, hasn't changed for the UK basketball pro- gram. Mr. Wildcat, Bill Keightley. Bill Keightley is the equipment manager of the UK basketball team and has been associated with the program for the past 30 years. He is the most recogniwble figure in the program, next to Pitino, and he oversees it like a father would his child. He also is the team’s biggest fan. His title is a little deceiving be- cause as he says: “It has no set de- scription. l coordinate activities through the day and do basically anything that needs to be done." During the season, Keightley will arrive at Memorial Coliseum at 5:30 in the morning and usually stay until 8 in the evening on week- days. On Saturdays and Sundays he See MANAGER, Page 3 Win $150 in books for next semester from University Bookstore At the LSU-UK Vlleyball Match Friday, October 18, 1991 7:30 p.m. Memorial Coliseum UK Students with a UK ID get in free!!!

This dedication earned him the nickname “Mr. Wildcat" from fonrier UK coach Joe B. Hall. But Keightley, 64, does much more than manage equipment. He is the father figure to the UK program, to the players, the coaches and anyone else asso‘ ciatetl with the team. There isn't a problem he hasn‘t seen or heard of before. “If you‘re with them every day. you become somewhat protective of thent and under- stand that everybody has prob Iems too, one time or another‘ Keightley said of the L'lx ’ibts- ketball pl iy.crs Keightley, a Lawrenceburg, Ky., native, has always been an avid UK follower. He played basketball at Kavenaugh High School in Lawrenccburg under Ralph Carlisle, who went on to coach Lafayette and win two state titles. Keightley"s love affair with UK began while at Kavenaugh. His team was traveling to a game in Richmond, and along the way Carlisle stopped in Lexington and brought his team to a UK practice in Alutnni Gym. Keightley said it was one of his biggest thrills. “That was a highlight for me at that time just to see that place." he said. Keightley began his associa- tion with UK basketball in 1962. He would help his friend, George Hukle, thencquipment manager, on game days and sometimes during the week. When Adolph Rupp retired in I972, so did Hukle, Keightley, took over as head equtpment manager. Keightley said his position has tremendous rewards, the biggest of which are the friends he has made over the years and working with young people. “You're around young peo« ple: so consequently. you think like young people," he said. “If you spent the same hours at almost any other profession, nionetarily you would be better off. But it you enjoy doing what you do it makes a big tlll' terenee . you look forward to coming to work." But during the recent Nt‘»\.‘\ IKE KUNEJKemeI Stall UK equipment manager Bill Keightley, Mr. Wildcat. has seen it all in his 30 years with the UK basketball program. investigation of UK‘s program that led to an eventual probation, Keightley said there were times when it wasn‘t such a joy to come to work. However, that all changed when Pitino arrived. “When Rick came in he gave it that youthful enthusiasm that took me right back to my early years," Keightley said. “I have felt like I’ve been revitalized." In the 30 years Keightley has been with the program, he said he has seen many great years. He lists the 1978 National (.‘lianipionship as the biggest. Kyle Macy's game winning shot to beat LSU for the 1980 South— eastern Conference champion- ship ranks high as well. But as any great UK fan would say. he loves beating Louisville. “I always get a particular thrill out of beating Louisville. That's the thing that I get foremost in my mind before the season be- gins. We don't celebrate Christ- mas until that game is Over.” When Mr. Wildcat looks back through the years, he has no re- grets. Friends are something you can keep all your life, and he has many of them. He would not do anything differently and he con- siders himself an artist: “Life is just a collection of memories. I try to block out of my mind any- thing unpleasant. In my mind, I want to just take a brush and paint it away and create my own pictures.” The upcoming season excites Keightley, as the Wildcats ap— pear to have retumed to where he is accustomed to being — on top. He is confident this team will represent the University well. Athletics Director CM. Newton said Keightley is an es- sential part of IJK basketball. “As an equipment manager, he can be replaced. We could find someone else to handle the cqtitpment," Newton said. “However, Bill Keightley does so much more. He is a father tig- tire to the players and an integral part of the coaching staff. We just couldn't replace him." How much longer will .‘ylr. Wildcat continue ’ “I don‘t even have any idea," Keightley said. “I feel great. I'm in great physical condition, and sol don't even iliiiik about it.” The more things seem to change in the LR basketball pro» grant. the more they stay the same. .\lr. \\ ildetii is still here, Shuffling of backs to stop; Damon Hood now No. 1 By JOHN KELLY Statt Writer UK‘s ground attack has sputtered thus far through the 1991 seasons, showing flashes of greatness at times overshadowed by long spells of mediocrity. Currently, the top four teams in the Southeastem Conference also rank in the top five in total rushing offense, while UK, which has gained only 548 yards on the ground and average 3.48 yards per carry, ranks second to last. “We have got to get the running game going," UK football coach Bill Curry said. “You‘re just kid- ding yourself. You can‘t win at the highest level of college football un- less you can run the ball. You have to do it." In the preseason, the running game was said to be the lifeblood of the UK offensive attack. The Cats had senior fullback Terry Samuels. who rushed for 325 yards in 1990. returning to complement a pool ol~ talented freshmen backs. Saintiels has gained 208 yards on ~16 carries this season, 45 of which came on one play against Ole Miss two weeks ago. But after live games, the inexpe» rience at the tailback position has been evident. Damon Hood won the starting job prior to the start of the season but has seen little more action than fellow true freshmen Carlos Collins or redshirt freshmen Clyde Rudolph and Donnie Redd.

A thigh in- jury in that game has sidelined him until at least next week. though. With no real standout, shuffled all four at tailback. Curry "A couple of times in my career that we‘ve played true freshmen running backs, we had surrounded them with a more veteran cast," Curry said. “Now you have true freshmen running backs with new people in other positions as well. They’re very talented and very hardworking. But maybe we have shuffled them such that we have ac- tually retarded the learning pro- cess." Running backs coach Walter Lewis agreed that could be the case. “At that position, someone has to step in and get the experience need- ed," Lewis said. “Damon is the guy right now. Tailback is a spot where you have to gain rhythm." The shuttling will stop this week against Louisiana State tfniversity Saturday. Hood, who (furry said was the biggest and strongest of the three uninjured backs, will be the primary tailback and carry the ball more against LSIT. "We will still play the other two," Curry said. “But Damon will get more playing time and more carries in hopes that the repetitions in the game will help him see things a lit— tle bit better than anything we can i I I I I J TAIWAN EXPRESS CHINESE FAST FOOD ’ '7 W alter Ave. at. r» W3 t L————-———-—---_ Tonight's Progra in: F R F E FRH.

The offen- sive line, which has been criticized all season, will have to improve as well. “The first thing I would like to see is people knocked out of his way a lot more,“ Curry said. “We are not far froin being a decent blocking front. It's not its if we‘re getting manhandled tip there. but we are making just enough mis~ takes that we don‘t stistaiii a ground game like we should." Rudolph, who had won the start— ing tailback job in spring practice but fell victim to a ankle injury, ad- mitted the younger backs are hav- ing trouble. “He was shuttling tis around and we couldn‘t really get a rhythm," Rudolph said. “We couldn't get a feel for what the deteiise w as doing or what the linemen were doing.

The entire cast from this heavyweight tragedy take the ring: Agamemnon, Orestes, Electra, Clytemnestra, Aegisthus, Cassandra and the rest. They are surrounded by the citizens of Argos, the chorus, weartng dark, hooded robes. A strange, haunting synthesized musi- cal score builds, then stops. The players freeze, stopped in time, then disappear into the darkness. It's a nice touch. For the entire play, much credit is owed to the chorus for setting a haunting, persistent and intense tone to the drama. The chorus also provides an im- portant counterpoint to the main characters. They introduce bits of Greek history, gossip, morals, ad- vice and speculate on the ways of tire gods throughout the play. The choreography and timing of the chorus is astounding. They cir- culate and decorate the stage in var- ious attitudes; at one point they walk around like specters, at anoth- er they argue like angry spectators. They exchange lines of dialogue be- tween each other like one solid body with one mind. It all goes a long way to add a “Dark Shadows"- Iike atmosphere to the set. In Act I the end of the ten-year- old Trojan War is signaled by a se- ries of beacons. Enter Clytemenstra who waits for the return of her hus- band, King Agamemnon, leader of the Greek forces that defeated Troy.
