cial fraternity iti connection with
the alleged theft of various sports
paraphernalia stolen from Duke
l'iiiversity and the l'niversity of
North (‘arolina-(‘hapel llill.

l'hc UK Police Deparunent
found several pieces of sports trie-
iiiorabilia ~ including the jersey

of former l)uke player (‘hristiaii
Laettiier —— from the Durham and
(‘hapel llill. N.(‘.. campuses some-
tirtie this past weekend. said UK
spokesman Ralph l)erickson.

l)erickson said the IiKl’l) has
investigated the incidents and has
taken sworn statements from five
indisiduals from the fraternity who
participated iii the alleged theft.
the statements lead authorities to
believe that there may liase been
at least Iii students lll\(lI\L‘tI from
the l 'iiisersity

No one has been charged or ar-

rested.

IW. Patterson. frateniity faculty
adviser. said he did not believe that
the actions were part of a tratcrnity-
sponsored esent and tliai the indi-
viduals involved acted on their
0““.

"I know that most of it was
pledges. I cannot c‘tlllllllll at this
poitit that there were absolutely no
members present.

“I hate to use the word 'walkoutf
but I‘m positi\e that it was a pledge
walkout where they just disappear
for the weekend Whether or not
they took arty members with them I
do not know." Patterson said.

We I’ikes were placed on probas
tion earlier in the semester. Heart of
Students l)avid Stockhaiii said
Stockliain said he did not want to
speculate on further action against
the fraternity tiritil all the facts bc-
cottic known.

“We do not ha\c otl'icial reports.
as yet. that something was taken
from other schools. I think that's a
possibility. but again. iii .ill taii

ness. we would want to look at all
the facts." Stockhain said,

He said it the frateniity is found
guilty. the fact that it is already on
probation could hase a bearing on
what the penalty would be.

“(‘ertainly. it could have a bear-
ing. but. certainly. l would not be in
a position to say that for sure."
Stockhain said,

l’ikc President I ance Dowdy said
the fraternity is “coorx‘ratiiig with
the l’nivcrsity iii :uty investigation“
II is conducting concerning the
merit.

Dowdy also said that anyone
loutid to be involved in the theft
“will be disciplined to thc ltillcst
extent" by the fraternity.

About probation. lie said. " l hat‘s
up to the l'iii\eisity. as to whether
they see it as a liateriiity c\clll or
not."

President l’ete November yesterday
asked the UK Board of 'l‘rus‘tees for
help in lobbying the state legisla-

“ll l could ask one thing from the
Board of Trustees for students. it
would be to help us all with the lob~

state officials told uniseisity presi-
dents to prepare for another [Xissb

tnadc.

November indicated that the bud-
get Cuts have hurt students. though
he was quick to praise administra-
lion‘s handling of thc crisis.

“I realize that il'Ki President
