slaying of Thomas Rohinson, a Neyear—old L'ls'
medical technology student from I’aducah, Rohert R.

first-degree unlawful imprisonment and first degree
rohhery.

By accepting a plea hargain from the liayette

Several UK students want to know if they are
going to win with a parimutuel picket at Keeneland
Race (Iourse or ifthey should look for a new place to
show for work,

On \\'ednesday, the track locked the pariiiiutticl
clerks out of their johs after the workers rejected a
contract that contained cuts in pay and henefits.

Ahout 40 of the clerks have heen picketing outside
Keeneland's front rate since the lockout on “'ednes—
day. Memhers oft e group said what they are doing
is not a strike, only an informational picket.

“The whole thing's kind of a mess right now," said
parimuttiel clerk (lreg Stocker, a psychology ,senior.
Stocker, who spent most of yesterday picketing, said
the lock out has affected up to W UK students who
are part-time clerks.

“There are a lot of students who
Keeneland," Stocker said.

“It's been a great job, but after the sacrifices I've
made it seems like a slap in the face to be locked out.
I am going to need that money to get through, no
doubt."

lie said he schedules his classes and other events
around his job at Keeneland. He added he helievcs
it's sad Keeneland thinks so little ofthe workers.

Stocker's younger hrother. Mark, a liiology
junior, is one ofthe students who needs the money to
get through the semester.

“That's how I make tny money in the spring," the
younger Stocker said. “I’m hoping there will he some
kind of resolution soon.“

Architecture senior Melanie llulsman said she

work at

judge (iary Payne is scheduled to
sentence Rankin on April I]. and
prosecutors are recommending life iii
prison without the possiliility' of
parole for 1‘ years, as well as ll) years
for rohliery and five years for unlaw—
ful imprisonment, a charge that had
heen reduced from kidnapping.

Rankin and his co~defcndant.

serving a life sentence for the murder, kidnapped
Rohiiison from his South Limestone Street apartr
ment on Oct. I), 19‘”, reports say.

Stanton was an acquaintance of Rohinson‘s l'tililll'
mate, former UK student _leff Burlew. and ahout
three weeks prior to the incident, Stanton stayed
hriefly at Rohmson and Btirlew's apartment.

She said she thinks Keeneland
is telling her that her services are
not worth anything.

llulsman warned that the strike
will affect not only the students
who work there, hut also the stu—
dents who frequent Keeneland
during the spring meets.

She said Keeneland has hired
temporary personnel to handle the
televised racing. The track has
been advertising for clerks and has
trained ahout (illl) new clerks.

llulsinan said she thinks people
can expect longer lines and less—
skilled workers.

“If you do not know what you
are doing, then it is really hard,"
Ilulsman said. “I inst don‘t know
how they are going to (It) It With-
out a union."

The track snhmitted its “final
offer" ’I‘uesday to the clerks, hut it
was turned down by 71 percent ofthe 352 clerks, said
track spokesman,.lim “'illiams.

He refused to say why the track would not keep
the workers‘ salaries at the same level

”\Ve feel we offered them a fair wage for the iol)
they're doing," \\'illiams said

looking to inject some \igor
into the LR women's basketball
prograrri, Athletics l)irector(i..\1.
Newtoii,turned the reins over to
Bernadette l.ocke».\1atto.\ last
\\ L'K‘k.

1.1lLRL".\1.liit).\, who served as
an assistant athletics director at
L'K the past 10 months, replaced
Sharon Fanning. whose contract
was not renewed after eight years
as lady Kats head coach.

Before taking on her adiiiinis~
trative responsibilities at UK,
l.()L'l\'L".\Td[[U.\ served as an assis»
taiit coach under men's coach
Rick l’rtino for four seasons.

“I'm very excited about the
opportunity that Coach Newton
has giyeti me," said l.ocke».\1atto.\
in .l stateirietit last week,

“1 look torward to bringing
ext riement to the program, taking
the prograrii to the next level, and
helpingr my student athletes devel

op both academically and athleti~
cally."

Locke—.Mattm already gained
national attention for becoming
one of the tirst ferriales to coach in
a l)i\isron 1 men's prograrii. Now
she becomes the tirst black female
head coach in UK history.

1.tiLl\’C-.\1;llitt\ will inherit a
Lady Kats program that struggled
to a 1+ H overall record and lost
si.\ of its last seven Southeastern
(Ionfereiice regular
gariiesfl‘he Kats have tirade only
one NCAA 'l‘ournament appear—
ance in the past 10 seasons,

“Bernadette brings all the qual—
ities to take the program to the
rre\t level," Newton said. “I'm
evcited that she has the drive to
get back into coaching. ller per—
sonal qualities are a good example
tor our student—athletes."

Newton had said the failure to
recruit the nation’s elite high
school players was part of the rea»
son not renewing l’aiinirig's cori—
tract.‘

\C‘dst)”

However, even l’itino said
Locke—Mattox has what it takes to
lure top talent to Lexington.

"I‘m really excited about seeing
Bernadette back in the coaching
ranks," Pitino said. “I believe she
will be the premier coaching
recruiter in women's basketball. I
look forward to the day when both
of our programs will be ranked
No. l."

Locke—Airittox, who is expect—
ing her first child, brings a wealth
of basketball knowledge to the
Lady Kats. Before her stint with
l’itino's (Iats, she seri ed five sea—
sons as an assistant coach under
Andy l.anders at Georgia. Locke~
Alattox also played at (ietirgia,
earning All—America honors and
leading the Lady Bulldogs to the
Final Four in 1983.

“She just seems to know a lot
about the game," said freshman
forward \‘onda jackson.

“1 also think she knows a lot
about what it takes to compete in

taineer (a worthless superlative, if
ever there was one), Chris
.\1c(iuthrie.

The Mount St. Mary’s fans
were, in a Mount St. Understate—
merit. intense. After each oftheir
team‘s few and scattered non—dis»
asters, they slirilled with such glee
you began to worry that sortie
over/ealous Mountaineer might
inhale a nacho, jalepeiio and all.

But UK rriatched the Mount St.
Spunk \Vheri \Vildcat coach Rick

l’itirio looked to his artillery stash

of a bench, he saw Antoine \VJlK'
er._lared Prickett and Mark l’ope

. who collcctively combined for
W of L'K's its points from the
bench. \Vlren Phelan, on the
other hand, scanned his emaciated
bullpen. he saw (ierban \‘an
l)orpe (the pride of Aalst, Bel—
gium) and Matt Meakin (the pride
of Nottingham, England). l’hes
lan's reserves tallied but 20 points.

The talent disparity caught up
with Phelan 81 Company 17 min-
utes into the evening as the game
quickly deteriorated into a Mount
St. Massacre. After a three-minute
blink resulted in three consecutive
treys, L‘K led 50—34 and the
Mountaineers laid by the side of
the road flatter than a Niount St.
()melette.

\Vitnessing their team's 113—67
public stoning did little to deflate
the foaming-at—the~inouth troupe
of Mountaineer fans. The

unphased fanatics from Maryland
took Beale Street, a street where
strange arid immoral acts occur
with an alarming frequency.

Some of the assorted observa—
troris front Beale:

Vl’erhaps the riiost i)l/.‘.HTC rit»
iial was a goat—crowning ceremo«
ny that was part ofthe (Mount) St.
Patrick's Day festivities. Accord~
trig to an ofticial at (YSullivan's on
Beale Street, the one and only
admiral in the Irish armada
wrecked his ship on a sandbar in
the Mississippi trying to get to the
pub on a St. Patrick's Day of the
past.

The only survivors were the
still—chipper Admiral Buckley and
his goat, King l’uck. Now, a lep—
rechaun. a beauty qtieen and a
squadron of boisterous lrish folk
singers congregate to coronate
l’uck as the king of Beale Street
each St. Patrick‘s Day.

VA niiierfoot pedestrian on
stilts made a habit of confronting
unsuspecting tourists and then
proceeding to dance with them.

()f course, all this frivolity w as
a mere sidebar to the important
issue at hand. Behind Door No. 3
on L'K‘s Memphis hit list was
Tulane from the ailing Mount St.
Metro conference. In a de facto
Rupp South, \Vildcat fairs in the
Pyramid watched L'K unleash an
18—0 meteor shower on the (Ereen
\Vave and begin to round third
and head for home before half?
time. Tulane was invertebrate
from the start and found itself
peering out of a 4171‘) chasm 18
minutes past ripoff.

'l‘tilaiie and Mount St. .\1ary"s

L'K must look to Birmingham for
more kindling.

L'K did that by pressing for
nearly the full 40 minutes, sortie-
thing the (Eats didn’t do the entire

“It‘s not easy to do what we‘re
doing," l’itino said of the defen—

It didn't help Tulane‘s cause
