Last night at the 13th Lyman
T. Johnson Awards Banquet,
speaker Nashid Fahkaid-Deen
told an old African parable to
shed light on Johnson’s struggle
for racial equality at UK.

“There was once an eagle who
married a chicken and lived as a
chicken,” Fahkaid—Deen began.
“He ate what chickens ate. He
walked like the chickens he lived
with.

“But one day an older eagle
came down from the skies, swept
him up and taught him that he
was an eagle. And as an eagle he
had to know about eagle histo-
ry,” he told the audience, which
was gathered to honor the
achievements of black students
at UK.

Over the years, blacks have
been defined by those outside
their ethnicity and race with such
terms as "nigger” and “colored."
It is only recently that they have

Don‘t let the wagon roll back
down the the hill. For many, this
expression may mean nothing.
But for Lyman T. Johnson, the
first black person admitted to
UK, those are the words that
guided him through his battles
and continue to guide him.

“Don't let the wagon roll back
down the hill” was a story about

begun to take part in defining them-
selves as a race, Fahkaid-Deen said.

But self-detennination, he said.
must go beyond the present.

“If I stand tall, I stand on the
shoulders of my ancestors,” Fah-
kaid-Deen said. “The first step for—
ward is to go back in tradition,
which is why we honor Mr. Lyman
T. Johnson tonight."

In 1948, Johnson sued UK in fed-
eral court to gain admission to The
Graduate School at UK, which, at
the time, kept blacks from enroll-
ing. He became UK's first black
student.

Although, we are living a society
that teaches self first and others
last, Fahkaid-Deen said, blacks
should not forget about the rights of
others or the rights of nature.

“Where would we be if our an-
cestors forgot about us," Fahkaid-
Deen said. How many of you sitting
here tonight would be here if it had
not been for the man that we are
honoring tonight? We are here be-
cause of the sacrifices those before
us made.”

Johnson advises students
to keep focused on goals

the freedom his grandfather bought
10 years before the Civil War. John-
son said thc story became his per.
sonal philosophy.

“When I decided to take my bat-
tle to the court, I had in mind that if
we could get the doors open, then
those behind us would not have go
through the things that I went
through," Johnson said last night at
the annual awards banquet held in
honor of his contributions to the
University.

Johnson opened the doors for 31

Although he said blacks
should honor their ancestors.
Fahkaid-Deen said they also
must believe in an unseen force
of reality — hope.

“We don't have the tenacity
that Lyman T. Johnson had,” he
said. “We don’t have the faith. If
we don‘t have this, what do we
have?”

Although blacks are not forced
to sit in the back of buses or en-
dure other overtly racist behav-
ior, he is skeptical of this na-
tion's real progress, Fahkaid-
Deen said.

“We have blacks in every
place, but things are not better;
they are worse,” he said. “I’m
not dealing with racism or sex-
ism, but on a world scale, the
world is in total chaos. It is up to
a new generation of Lyman T.
Johnsons to change it.”

However, before a world
change is made, he said, “we as
African-Americans must define
our reality, just as our ancestors
before us did."

black students in the summer of
1949, when a federal judge ruled
that UK could not deny blacks ad-
mittance to The Graduate School.

While the doors may have been
open, it wasn‘t unusual for John-
son to face hostility on this cam-
pus.

Johnson said hate mail was a
part of his daily class schedule.

the library real late. Some guys

Candidate’s question
sidetracks VP forum

 

By Jackie Flegle
Staff Writer

A Residence Hall Association
forum for Student Government As-

sociation vice pres-
idential candidates
almost
when presidential
candidate T.A.
Jones wrongly
questioned oppos- i
ing vice presiden— , g 1 .
tial candidate Joe ELECTIONS
Braun last night. ,
I .

Jones, who was _ .1 l _

sitting in the audi- ' " ‘
ence at Kirwan-
Blanding Complex Commons for
the forum, confronted Braun about
his knowledge of the Beaux Arts
Ball, violating forum rules against
questioning specific candidates.

“There are a lot of things on this
campus that I don‘t know a lot
about," Braun said in response to
T.A. Jones‘ inquiry.

Braun said he thinks SGA should
fund “only the site, which means
that's where the actual event could
take place."

The ball is an annual fund-raising
event organized by students in the
College of Architecture.

“I don‘t know anything about the

 

planning of it. I don’t want to
claim to know anything about the
planning of it," Braun added.

“I haven’t been to (a Beaux Arts
Ball), and I don‘t necessarily want
to go to one because my interests
are elsewhere."

Jones, an fifth-year architecture
student, said the college’s students
would not want SGA to fund the
event

“We serve alcohol at this event,
and if you were to start funding
Beaux Arts, we couldn't serve alco-
hol," Jones said.

Earlier in the forum, Braun, while
introducing some of the aspects of
he and his presidential mnning
mate Rob Warrington's platform,
suggested that SGA fund popular
student events, such as the ball.

Order was restored after the audi-
ence was reminded that the event
was a forum, not a debate.

The original format was to have
allowed the five candidates intro-
duce their platforms by answering
prepared questions, followed by
questions from audience members.

All candidates agreed that the
campus is fragmented, with differ-
ent organizations working against
each other.

Presidential candidate Krista Gi-
bler’s running mate. Eric Smith,

said it often seems the “right hand
doesn‘t know what the left hand is
doing" with regard to student
groups.

After many animated answers,
Benny Ray Bailey, Jones‘ running
mate, answered a question about
what he could do to benefit all stu-
dents on campus: “Together, and
only together, are all things possi-
ble," he said.

Mark Engstrom, who along with
running mate Tracy Rogers recent-
ly rtxeived the endorsement of the
Greek Political Action Committee,
related to the crowd one idea his
ticket had for increased student in-
volvement.

Engstrom proposed that incom-
ing freshmen submit a high school
activity sheet with their applica-
tions.

“As those applications are ac-
cepted, (officials) would send the
activity sheet down to the SGA of.
fice, and we could route these stu-
dents to organizations that they
were involved with in high school,"
he said.

However, presidential candidate
Misty Weaver's running mate, Col-
leen Litkenhaus, stressed that their
ticket wants to motivate people,
rather than make them do things.

U.S. jets shoot down Army helicopters

 

 

By Susanne M. Schatlsr
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — American

fighter jets mistakenly shot down
two U.S. Army helicopters over
northern Iraq yesterday. killing all
26 people aboard. “Something went
wrong.” said the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff. and President
Clinton promised to find out what.

Twenty-one of the dead were mil-
itary officers from the United
States, Britain, France, and flaky

relief operuion for the Kurdish mi-
nority in nmhem Iraq. Five Kurd
passerigers also were killed.

The helicopters were shot down
by two F-lSC fighters enforcing
the “no-fly zone” over the area.

Clinton expressed “terrible sor-
row” and pledged a thorough inves-
tigation. He ordered U.S. flags on
public buildings throughout the na-
tion to be flown at half-staff
through sunset Monday "as a mark
ofrespectforthosewhodiedasa
result of the tragic incident.”

At the Paragon. Defense Secre-
tary William Perry said the fighter
pilots mismk the UH-60 Black
Hawk choppers for Iraqi “Hind”
helicopters.

Both jets apparently had the heli-
copters in sight during the daylight

Perry said. An AWACs reconnais-
sance plane was overseeing the hel-
icopters' flight

"The pilots of the F-lSs feel they
had positively identified the
Hinds," said Lt. Gen. Richard Kel-
ler, chief of staff of the U.S. Euro-
pean Command in Stuttgart. Ger-

from the aircraft will be studied in
the investigation, he said.

Asked what threat the helicopters
might have posed that justified
shooting them down. Keller replied,
“I honestly don't know.”

One F-lS fired a radar-seeking
AMRAAM missile. the other a
heat-seeking Sidewinder, the gener-
al said in a telephone briefing with

reporters at the Pentagon.

Gen. John Shalikashvili, the Joint
Chiefs chairman, said the final or-
der to shoot normally is given "on
the scene” and not from military
commanders at the jets‘ base in In-
cirlik, Turkey.

“Clearly, something went wrong,
and an investigation will have to
determine exactly what did go
wrong,” said the four-star Anny

effort ft! the Kurds in 1991.

U.S. warplanes and helicopters
normally use electronic identifica-
tion systems designed to tell friend
from foe.

if paper procedures were fol-
lowed. the helicopters' identifica-

tion beacons should have been op-
erating routinely, Shalikashvili said.
He did not say whether the Penta-
gon knew if the beacons were on or
if they emitted the proper coded
messages.

GRAY AREA

 

By Brett Dawson
Assistant Sports Editor

 

Eric Gray has heard the compari-
sons. They say he has an arm like a
rifle, that he fires passes like bullets
to receivers downfield.

The say that Gray, the UK foot-
ball tearn's fourth-string quarter-
back this spring, can really light it
up.

But there was a time when the
21-year-old junior college transfer
was more concerned with firearms
of a different and far more serious
sort. The real kind.

That was in Houston. back in
Gray's high school days —- one day
in particular, when his college foot-
ball career was the furthest thing
from his mind.

“1 was driving home one night,
and a couple of guys in the back of
a truck just opened fire on me,"
Gray said. “I got hit eight times."

All eight shots hit Gray in the
leg. But his injuries were far from
career-threatening. The 6-foot—4,
220-pound Gray bounced back to
post a remarkable two-year career
at City College of San Francisco.

Everywhere Eric Gray has
played, he has won.

Gray led CCSF to a 20-2 record
during his two seasons there. In
1993, he completed 83 of 173 pass-
es for 1,806 yards and 19 touch-
downs en route to being named a
junior college All-American.

CCSF was an offensive machine
with Gray at the helm. The top rat-
ed JuCo quarterback in 1993, Gray
led his team to a massive 519.8
yards per game average.

Prior to his City College of San
Francisco career, Gray was a blue-
chip prospect at Aldine High
School in Houston. Gray led the
Mustangs to a 41-4 record over
three seasons.

Aldine won USA Today‘s mythi-
cal national high school title in
1991, Gray’s senior year.

But when it came time to choose
a four-year school, Gray came to
UK, a school with less football tra-
dition than his junior college and
fewer national titles than his high
school.

The Wildcats own no national ti-
tles, and their bowl bid last season

Cardina

By FLB. Fallstrom

ST. LOUIS — Ray Lankford had
his second straight big day with two
hits and three R813 and Allen Wat-
son halted a seven-game losing
streak as the St. Louis Cardinals
beat the slumping Los Angeles
Dodgers 9-8 yesterday.

Lankford, the Cardinals‘ leadoff
hitter, is 5-for-9 the last two games
with seven RBIs. After failing in

Gray thinks he can win at UK.
100.

“This school is on the uprise,"
Gray said. “With my ability at
quarterback and the rest of this
team, 1 think we could possibly
make it to the Sugar Bowl some-
day."

A lofty goal. indeed. But Gray
has a positive outlook on life, a
new lease he gained after the shoot-
ing he endured in high school.

“(The shooting) made me think
more," Gray said. “I looked at
things with some perspective.

“The experience 1 had would
make anybody think twice. Your
life flashes in front of you. It‘s like
a second chance you get at life."

Gray now has a second chance at
a college career. Now that junior
college is over, he has graduated
into the nation's premier football
league. the Southeastern Confer-
ence.

And though a number of schools
came knocking on Gray‘s door, a
visit to the Bluegrass convinced
him that UK was home.

“(1.exington) is quiet; everybody
here is nice," Gray said. “This is an
opportunity for me to go to class
and go to practice and not have to
worry about looking over my
shoulder for guns."

Now (iray is hoping to make Jeff
Speedy, Matt llobbie and Billy
lack Haskins, the top three quarter-
backs on UK‘s depth chart this
spring, look over their shoulders for
him.

Gray reported to spring practice
overweight, then missed the first
several days of workouts when his
wife gave binh early in the semes-
ter, but he has been a quick study in
the UK offense.

“He had to go home to Houstoi
for a week and a half," UK head
coach 1:"! Curry said. “He missed
classes. and that’s caught him in a
difficult situation with school. At
the same time, he has worked to
learn the offense.”

Gray hopes the reward for his
hard work is a starting job in the
fall. He may benefit from a very
uncenain quarterback situation.

With junior Pookie Jones, a
three-year starter at QB and a star
for the Wildcat baseball team, un-

dodge Dodgers, .end streak

the cleanup slot last season, Lank-
ford leads the team with nine R815
and is batting .385.

He‘s also 7ofor-l4 for his career
against Dodgers starter Pedro Asta-
cio (0-2).

The Dodgers. who trailed 9-2 be-
fore scoring five runs in the eighth,
have lost six of their last seven.

Watson (1-0) began his major-
league career 6-0 but lost his last
seven decisions. He won for the
first time since Aug. 14, striking out

certain about his football future,
none of UK's top four hurlers have
a single start under their belts.

In fact, with junior Antonio

to free safety, only Speedy has as
much as a game of college experi-
ence.

But Gray is still fourth on the
depth chart. And junior college
transfers normally take time to ma-
ture at the Division 1 level. For
proof of that. look no further than
