SGA bills
to help
parents

By HEIDI PROBS’I‘
Staff Writer

The Student Government Associa-
tion passed two bills Wednesday
night that will make coming to class
more convenient for students with
children.

One of the bills provides $1,000 for
a Child Care Grant Fund. The
money will be used from the $1,000
loaned to Radio Free Lexington
when it is paid back this summer.

The other bill wtll allocate $120 for
SGA executive branch member Ken
Walker and Susan Beyers, director
for academic support services for
adults. to conduct a survey about a
child care center.

SGA President Cyndi Weaver said
she hopes the $1,000 will be used a
base for the Child Care Grant Fund.

“We’re hoping that this is just a
seed and the foundation will become
bigger than that," she said.

A child care facility had been part
of Weaver's platform when she cam-
paigned for the SGA presidency last
year.

Weaver said she had gotten infor-
mation from a 1983 University re-
port that indicated a tremendous
need to finance a child care facility.
She said the study showed there
were 900 potential users of child
care services.

In January a Child Care Commit-
tee was established to be responsible
for the Child Care Grant Fund and
fund~raising projects.

Student parents who demonstrate
a financial need and a desire to at-
tend UK will be eligible for the fi-
nancial assistance.

The minimum amount people will
be able to receive from a schol-
arship would be $400. The total
amount of funding the foundation re-
ceives will determine how many
scholarships will be granted.

Walker, who is chairman of the
child care committee, said a lot of
planning has gone into the establish-
ment of the committee and its serv-
ices.

Walker and Weaver recently spent
four days in Monterey, Calif.. at the
National Coalition for Campus Child
Care Conference, which gave them
“a good direction," Walker said.

Weaver said UK has been a mem-
ber of the coalition since 1984. but
this was the first time she had vis-
ited a child care conference.

“We were able to speak with peo-
ple firsthand and ask about what
kind of measures they were taking,"
Weaver said. “It was an information
swap.“

Some of the lectures the two at-
tended gave information on liabili-
ties concerning the operation of a
child care center and on how to keep
costs low for users of the facility.

Walker said the survey will deter-
mine “what things we want to know
about conducting a child care serv-
ice."

“We hope the survey will tell
whether students express a need and
what they can afford,“ Beyers said.
“This is just another wave. 1 hope
something does happen.“

Merit Day recruiting tool for UK

By HEIDI PROBST
Staff Writer

Merit Day weekend will bring out-
standing high school students to
campus today as UK continues its
recruitment for the 1988-89 academic
year.

“The Merit Day Program is an ef-
fort to attract top-ranked students to
the University." said Don Witt. di-
rector of advising conferences.
“We're wanting to attract the better
students and show them that they
can have the best of both worlds (at
UK) concerning academics and or-
ganizations.“

University Counseling and Testing
Center Director Mike Nichols said
that the Merit Day Program will
benefit UK in several ways.

“Merit Day gives the University
an opportunity to meet some excep
tional students whose presence on
this campus can enrich the class-
room and extracurricular life of
UK," Nichols said.

Witt said he invited 2,500 high
school seniors who have a minimum
2.0 grade point average and scored
at least a 27 on their American Col-
lege Test.

He said almost 170 students will
participate in the program this
weekend and 210 will take part in
the April 1-2 program. This has been
the most to participate in the five
years that the program has existed.
he said.

Witt said that past Merit Pro-
grams have been successful. as
about 95 percent of the students who
have attended past weekends decide
to enroll in the University.

This year‘s program starts with a
reception at 5:30 pm. and follows
with placement tests in calculus.
English and a foreign language.
While the students are taking the
placement exams their parents are
encouraged to attend an information
and entertaining workshop at the
Fine Arts Building.

The following day students will

have an opportunity to become more
familiar with academic and campus
life at UK. Students will also get the
opportunity to meet faculty and staff
members. Witt said.

Vice Chancellor for Academic Af-
fairs Donald Sands will welcome the
students and their parents along
with Chancellor for the Lexington
Campus Art Gallaher and UK Presi-
dent David Roselle.

Roselle said this year‘s freshman
class at UK has 72 valedictorians
and 99 Governor ‘s Scholars.

Bill Swinford. a political science
senior, will speak about his experi-
ences as a UK student.

“We‘ll emphasize all that the Uni-
versity has to offer being a larger
institution," said Swinford. a Colle‘
gian for Academic Excellence.

Swinford said he will also speak
about the “numerous majors that
UK offers to cover every interest,
such as the departments and col-
leges that are especially strong.“

Lottery passes final obstacle in Senate

By MARK R. CHELLGREN
Associated Press

FRANKFORT — The Senate yes-
terday set the stage for a final reso-
lution to the lingering question of
whether there should be a state lot-
tery in Kentucky.

By a vote of 26-12. three more
votes than needed. the Senate
passedabill toplacethequestionon
the November general election bal-
lot on whether the Kentucky Consti-
tution should be changed to allow a
lottery.

Gov. Wallace Wilkimon, the most
vocal and visible supporter of a lot-
tery in Kenhicky, will not even get a
chance to sign the measure which
goes directly to Secretary of State
gems Drier to place on the bal-

Wilkimon was ecstatic about the
Senate vote and ova--
whelmim sipport for the amend-
mentatthepolla.

Sumter! of the lottery in the

Senate let their votes do their talk-
ing. for the most part.

But those who did speak said it
should be left to the voters to make
the final determination.

Sen. John Hall. D-Henderson. said
he has received phone calls and let-
ters threatening him if he supported
alottery.

“i did not come to Frankfort to
take a'..ay anybody's rights and
privileges." Hall said.

Lottery opponents. though they ac-
knowledged they were outnumbered.
passionately expressed their feel-
ins!

“The lure of something for nothing
prey primarily on those who have
jut that — they have nothing." said
Sen. Landon Sexton. R—Pine Knot.

Seaton and othen repeated their
claim that a lottery is an inefficient
way to raise reveme. contributes to
mom- social problems and is
badpublicpolicy.

Sen. Gene Huff. R-hondon. pre-
dicted that a Kentucky lottery. if ap-

proved by the voters. would be a
bust because players will seek high-
er winnings in larger states like Illi-
nois and Ohio.

“They'll play it where the stakes
are higher,“ Huff said.

Wilkimon said he intends to work
for its passage and intends to call a
special session of the General As-
sembly if and when the measure
passesontheballot.

“I'm going to try to sell tickets in
December 1908.“ Wilkinson said.

During the campaign for passage
of the amendment, Wilkinson said
he will avoid debates on the morali-
tyofalottery.

“i personally think there is noth-
ing immoral or amoral about the lot-
tery,“ Wilkinson said.

Wilkinson said he will maintain
his self-imposed ban on M

lottery materials. He added he will
appoint a a” d wise-
spected individuals to recommend

mission, 80-74

By TODD JONES
Sports Editor

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. -— The red
eyes of Winston Bennett told the
story. The “mission“ for the Ken-
tucky Wildcats ended last night —
unaccomplished.

UK's trip to the Final Four came
screeching to a halt in the semifi‘
nals of the Southeast Region at the
Birmingham Civic Center. The Vil-
lanova Wildcats upset the Wildcats
from Lexington. 8074,

A nine-game winning streak for
UK came to an abrupt end. So did
the careers of five seniors.

“It was painful sitting there
watching the game and the clock at
the same time." L'K senior Rob
Lock said. “Every tick, I knew it
was gonna be my last."

Kentucky finished the season at
2745. Upstart Villanova advanced to
the regional finals with a 24-12
mark.

The clock struck midnight on UK
when the final buzzer sounded, But
signs of the end came much earlier.

Villanova used a 14—3 run to grab a
43-32 halftime lead. The advantage
grew to 13 and a furious UK rally
could get the Cats no closer than
four the rest of the way.

“We had a big hole to climb out of
and tonight it was a little too deep."
Lock said.

Some hot shooting by Villanova
from the field and line made sure of
that. Villanova hit 59.7 percent of its
field goals and all 17 of its free
throws.

“I was surprised by how well they
shot the ball,“ Bennett said.

The red—hot underdog attack was
led by guard Doug West with 20 and
forward Mark Plansky with 16.
Point guard Kenny Wilson chipped
in 15 points and six assists.

Kentucky got its offense from the
outside with sophomore guard Rex
Chapman tossing in a career-high 30
points. UK‘s inside attack was ne-
gated by foul trouble.

Bennett and Lock were both sad-
dled with four fouls throughout the
second half. Bennett played just
seven of the final 20 minutes. He
picked up his fourth foul 42 seconds
into the final half when he slapped
Plansky on the wrist.

"You lose a little confidence.“
Chapman said of the loss of Bennett.
“Winston’s such a great player you
want to have him in there."

"My foul trouble hurt us tragical-
ly." Bennett said.

It was Bennett‘s third foul that
started the hole for UK. It occurred
with 4:42 left in the first half and the
game tied at 29. Bennett went to the
bench and Villanova went on its 14~3

run.

North, Poindexter
plead ‘not guilty’
to conspiracy raps

By LARRY MARGASAK
Associated Press

WASHINGTON ~ Former nation-
al security aides Oliver L. North and
John M. Poindexter and two busi-
nessmen pleaded innocent yesterday
to charges they ran the Iran-contra
affair as a vast criminal conspiracy
and defrauded the government of
$17 million.

One by one. the defendants were
called before US. District Judge
Gerhard Gesell at their arraign-
ment. and asked by courtroom clerk
Barbara Montgomery. “How do you
wish to plead?"

”Not guilty,“ replied Poindexter.
President Reagan's former national
security adviser: and North. a top
assistant to Poindexter.

“Not guilty. your honor." respond
ed retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Rich-
ard V. Secord and Albert Hakim.
who controlled the money and pro-
cured the arms for the once-secret
[ran-contra operation.

All four defendants were released
on their personal recognizance and
told to report weekly by telephone to
a pretrial agency. Although crimi-
nal defendants are often asked to
surrender their passports, Gesell
said he would not impose that condi—
tion.

Dressed in conservative business
suits. the four men made their first
appearance in court since a federal
grand jury. convened by indepen-
dent Counsel Lawrence E. Walsh 14
months ago. handed down a 23-count
indictment March 16.

North. retiring as a Marine lieu-
tenant colonel May 1. and Poindext-
er. a retired Navy rear admiral, em-
braced before the judge entered the
crowded courtroom

The defendants are charged with
conspiring to defraud the United
States “by deceitfully organiz-
ing. directing and concealing“ a pro-
gram of support for the Nicaraguan
contras rebels at a time such assis-
tance was banned.

The indictment also said the de-
fendants “knowingly did embezzle,
steal and convert to their own use“
part of the proceeds generated by
the saleof weapons to Iran.

Altlmh no exact figure was
specified in the theft count, it was
reported elsewhere in the indictment
that the arms sales generated pro-
ceeds of some $30 million while the

government was paid only $12.2 mil-
lion for the weapons.

Gesell set no trial date but said he
would hold an early hearing to de-
termine whether evidence gathered
by Walsh is free of taint and there-
fore admissible.

All the defendants except Secord
testified before Congress under a
grant of immunity from prosecution.
preventing Walsh from using any of
that testimony.

Walsh has said FBI agents as—
signed to his staff made sure that he
wasn‘t exposed to any news stories
involving the hearings or later de-
velopments. As he obtained his inde-
pendent evidence. he filed it under
seal with the court. Walsh has the
burden of proving that his evidence
was not tainted.

Gesell ordered written motions on
the taint question to be filed by April
7, and set a preliminary proceeding
for April 12. A full hearing would
likely be held later in April, he said.

Walsh pointed out he has hired re-
tired federal judge Herbert Stern to
argue such motions. and said he was
ready to move ahead.

Gesell told the lawyers he would
not allow a civil suit arising from
the [ran-contra affair. in which Se-
cord and Hakim are defendants. to
interfere with the criminal case. The
civil trial had been set to begin June
27.

Outside the courtroom, a crowd of
demonstrators gathered to show
support for the defendants. Sen.
Steven Symms. R-ldaho. called on
President Ronald Reagan to issue
“an immediate pardon“ of North
and Poindexter.

As Poindexter stood by silently.
attorney Richard Beckler said, “We
are going to vigorously contest this
case with all our strength and
might."

UK’s 14- 5 win over Marshall bittersweet

Staff reports

Last night the UK baseball team
finally ended its losing ways on the
road, but the victory turned out to
be a bittersweet one.

Kentucky who
had dropped seven
of its previous WILDCAT
eight away games
broke out of that WRAP- UP
slump in grand
fashion last night
and pasted Marshall 14-5 in Morgan-
town. WVa.

But the big story though was the
loss of [K All-American Chris
Estep. Estep tore open his right
forearm when he caught it on the
five-foot. chain-length fence chasing
down a fly ball.

Estep. a junior, will miss probably
seven to 10 days. But the UK players
said it could have been a lot worse.

“At first we were really worried.”
said Wildcat Roger Gum. “But I
think he‘ll recover really quick.
There‘s a good chance he'll be back
next weekend. "

Kentucky. 9-9. broke out of a 2-2
tie in the fourth inning when short-
stop Billy White knocked in two runs
with a double.

Marshall. who dropped to 12-5.
was held to just a pair of runs in
five innings by UK starter Jim Law.
now 1—0

L'K third baseman Darren Rieman
contributed to the winning cause
with a pair of home runs. Rieman
hit a solo shot in the sixth and fol-
lowed that with a two-run blast in
the seventh

It’s so hot
to be cool!

"We really made some mistak-
es out there at the end of the
half .” Kentucky coach Eddie Sut-
ton said. “You get 11 points be-
hind Villanova and it's really
hard to catch them.”

UK fell 13 behind at 49-36 when
Plansky nailed a jumper with
18:07 left to play. But UK roared
back behind Chapman and Lock
to slice the deficit to seven in less
than three minutes

Chapman drilled a long three-
pointer at 8:54 to pull Kentucky
within 63-59. Moments later, the
Cats had a chance to close the
gap to three but Chapman missed
a hurried jumper on a fast break.

Villanova withstood that UK
charge and built the lead back to
72-64. Only 3 :47 remained.

A Chapman three-pointer the
old-fashioned way got Kentucky
within 72-67. It seemed UK was
alive again. The signs of life were
brief.

Villanova answered by patient-
ly working the ball around. With
one second on the shot clock and
just 2:24 in the game, Plansky
banked in a 15-foot jumper over
Chapman.

“Plansky‘s shot nailed the cof-
fin on us," Lock said.

Two Bennett free throws made
it 74-70 but Villanova refused to
fold. A West jumper and four free
throws later and the season was
history for Kentucky.

“It hurts," Chapman said. “We

Chapman will have two more
shots at a national championship.
UK’s seniors will not. For Ed Da-
vender, that is more disappoint-
ing than the six points he scored.

“It‘s hard to accept defeat.“
Davender said. “Probably the
hardest thing to do is accept the

ourteen years ago
when Bruce
Springsteen played

in UK’s Grand Ballroom, he thanked
a small crowd for coming out. “Our
records don't sell that well." he told
them (see sidebar). “and sometimes
we’re lucky to play in front of 100
people.”

Tomorrow night, it will be the
23,000 people who crowd into Rupp
Arena to see the Boss on his Tunnel
of Love Express Tour who will be
the lucky ones — lucky enough to
secure a ticket.

Tomorrow’s concert, which begins
at 8 pm, is the only date
Springsteen will be playing in this
region. As a result, the show sold
out in 58 minutes. Unfortunately, a
lot of the people who got tickets
during that time were scalpers.

If there’s one act in the music
industry that scalpers can rely on.
it's Springsteen. When he‘s in
concert. fans know what they‘re
going to get for their money — three
to four hours plus of solid
entertainment. Scalpers. of course.
know this too and know that
Springsteen’s devoted following will
pay to see him play.

And if Springsteen‘s early albums
didn't sell that well, his later ones
have certainly made up for lost time
and lost listening. Since his third.
breakthrough album, Bo r n to R un. a
Springsteen album has rarely been
absent from Billboard’s top-100.

As the Kernel‘s 1974 review
suggests. Springsteen got tagged
early as “the new Dylan.“ His first
album. Greetings From Asbury
Park. N. 1.. was a potpourri of
literary allusions that seemed to
have been extracted from the
Norton Anthology of British
Literature (Springsteen spent a
semester in junior college I. The
album‘s songs were written on an
acoustic guitar and the sound was
heavy folk.

However. Springsteen must not
have cared much for the Dylan
comparisons. because his next
album, The Wild, the Innocent. and
the E Street Shuffle. left behind his
symbolist leanings and headed
instead toward visceral emotion and
a cultivating knack for storytelling.
Only one song, “The Wild Billy
Circus Story." harked back to the
Dylanesque world of sword-
swallowers and side-show whores.

From those two albums, the only
songs that still consistently remain
in Springsteen‘s live repertoire are
“Rosalita” and “Spirits in the
Night."

A two-year silence followed Wild
and Innocent before Springsteen
stunned a Bottom Line crowd with
his rock anthem. “Born to Run."
After 10 straight dates at the Bottom
Line. New York critics knew that
Springsteen had come into his own
as an artist. It was around this time
that rock journalist Jon Landau
prognosticated he had seen rock‘s
future “and its name is Bruce
Springsteen. "

However, it was on his 1980
double-album. The River that
Springsteen‘s songwriting reached
the level of precision that he has
sustained since. With hard-hitting
emotions and constrained sentiment.

chance to talk to him about his

Springsteen listed his in-

as Wilson Picket. Bob Dylan and
Benny Goodman. in short, he
said. everything he heard while
growing up served to formulate
his music.

and “Shotgun" — were per-

“That's the music i grew up
with."

The old songs aren't likely to be
recorded soon. Springsteen said
his nextalbum will be recorded in
a studio and he will stick with his
own material. Alive album would
be the only way those songs
would be done.

the slow ballads, were absent

from his concert repertoire.
Springsteen said an audience in a
concert usually goes for the
faster stuff. “In a club where we
play more titan one set. the
slower things, like 'Lost in the
Flood', are done."

TODAY. Springsteen is
limiting his performances to
clubs, theaters. and schools —
finding large auditoriums too
impersonal.

Springsteen was full of praise
for the UK audience. having not
been prepared for their size and
enthusiasm.
