Brereton Jones said yes- terday. As pan of that spirit of team- work. Jones warned against a “rift" fonning between higher education. which is facing stiff budget cuts. and elementary and secondary edu- cation, which was one of the few ar- eas of state govemment to escape the budget ax during the just- completed (ieneral Assembly "i don't think that it is advisable to try to focus on one part of educa- tion at the expense of another. but we have to start at the very begin- ning. the pre-schoolers, those peo- ple who are iii danger of dropping out of the system. and guide them. then. all the way through the sys- tem." .lones said. The govemor. along with State l-‘ducation Commissioner 'lTiomas Boyseii. various state legislative leaders and a number of leading ed- ucation advocates from Kentucky‘s business community. caine to Lex- ington yesterday to participate in a teleconference with the Kentucky (‘ongress of Parents and Teachers which was held in Owensboro. 'l‘he teleconference. which was spon- sored by the Partnership for Ken- tucky School Reform. was broad- cast from Lexington at Kentucky Educational Television’s studios at 600 (‘ooper Drive. Jones stressed the importance of keeping the ”big picture" in mind when dealing with education fund ing. "It would be a big mistake to try to create some type of rift between one form of education and another." Jones said. “We're all interdepen- dent upon each other.“ Most of Kentucky‘s colleges are dealing with a total cut of to per- cent of the funding they receive from the state goveniment. UK's Community College System was spared 5 percent of that reduction. Several of the presidents at Ken- tucky‘s eight public universities have opposed funding the state's elementary and high schools at the expense ofits colleges and universi- ties. But Boysen said it is wrong to look at the lower spending by the state on higher education as a sign that it is being ignored in favor of elementary and secondary educa- tion. “The cut that higher education had to take had to do with the reces- sion and the flattening of revenue." he said. “Actually. the pan of govemment that grew was health and humzui services — this has a lot to do with health issues and health care and aid to the population." That part of our service deliv- ery. of our gross national product. has just mushroomed so much be- cause peoplc put a priority on how we meet the needs of the popula- tion." UK President Charles Wething- ton said yesterday he recognized that the reduced college funding is “unrelated to elementary and secon- dary education." Nonetheless. he was concenied with the decreasing level of funding as a percentage of the state‘s total budget. At a meeting of a House budget subcommittee in February. See KET.

Story, Page 4. Sports .......................... 2.3 Diversions ...................... 4 Viewpoint ....................... 6 Classnieds ..................... 7 Fans may, or may not, get c Ideally. the Blue-White football game is supposed to afford fans an opportunity to see the offseason progress of the UK football team and get a sort of sneak preview of the coming year. Ideally, it is the pinnacle of the spring drills, an opportunity for younger players who have worked hard all spring to show Coach Bill Curry and his staff they are ready to play if they get the call. But this spring, the traditional goals of the event may be a little different. Here's a short glimpse of what fans will and will not see to— morrow night at Commonwealth Stadium. -You will not see Curry because he will be watching the game from his perch in the Commonwealth press box. Instead, fans will get the pleasure of watching two celebrity generals lead the Blue and White teams. Both of the honorary coach- es are members of the media. Doug Ormay, of the Kentucky Network, will coach the White Team. while Larry Vaught. of the Danville Ad— vocate-Messenger. will lead the Blue Team. -Fans will also not see more than bits and pieces of Curry‘s highly- anticipated new offensive scheme. The plan is not to be secretive about the changes. but also not to “adver- tise subtle changes in the offense." Speculation has offered many possi- bilities of what Curry is doing, but the best guess so far is that it will heavily involve a fast-paced. pass- ing-dominant. option attack. What? ~You will not see Pookie Jones. Without the new offense in place, Curry has to allow the redshirt freshman quarterback, who ended last season as the team‘s top quar- terback and among the team‘s top rushers as well, to take a day off. Just kidding. Actually, Jones is also a utility outfielder for Keith Madi- son‘s UK Bat Cats baseball squad and will honor that commiunent through the spring. Jones has been shuffling between baseball games and football practices all spring, but the baseball team will play a big Southeasteni Conference series with Vanderbilt this weekend, which includes a doubleheader Sat- g/Mi Mexico BESTAURANT Authentic Mexican Food Fridays 8r. Saturdays, 9 pm -1 am Festival Market 0 Free Parking 0 231-0942 urday aftemoon. Madison will no doubt need Jones' services more than Curry. Jones is hitting near .300 and has ripped five home runs on the season. oWith Jones away. senior Ryan Hockman will play a lot. Curry has singled out Hockman for his efforts this spring. “Ryan could have come in and fallen on his face," Curry said. “And then we would have been forced to put all of our apples in one basket with Pookie. But Ryan didn‘t do that." Hocktnan will start for the White Team and will have two of UK's most talented runners in his back- field in true sophomores-to-be Damon Hood and Carlos Collins. Curry has said that Jones' job is not necessarily in danger, but that the starting position will be awarded on the basis of performance and if Hockman performs well Saturday. look for his name to be penciled in at the top of the quarterback depth chart going into fall drills. But Cur- ry said when he told Jones that Hockman was ready. the freshman replied that he. too. was ready. A healthy battle for the spot, not a controversy. will be the result, Cur- ry insists. -In addition to Hockman, UK fans will get a look at what Curry has called an “incredibly talented" field of quarterbacks. including freslunan Justin Wassell. who will back up Hockman for the White Team, and freshman Jeremy Neice and junior Randy Wyatt, a transfer from Louisville, Ky.. who will split time behind center for the Blue Team. oUK fans will get a good look at the two newest members of the Black Watch. UK's elite defensive unit. which now numbers four. Joining senior free safety Brad Armstead and senior strike Dean Wells are senior rover Sterling Ward and junior linebacker Marty Moore. -Fullback Terry Sarnuels gave a promotions director‘s description of the improved UK defense, saying fans will see an improvement.

Those words have been the motto for the UK football team for the last year or so. Simply put, every- one has a job to do if the Kentucky program is going to join the South- eastern Conference‘s elite and take a huge step toward national promi- nence. One man who plays a big part in the direction the program will take is assistant coach Tonuny Limbaugh. Limbaugh's responsibilities read more like a lifetime resume than a single position or title. The assist- ant head coach is in charge of re- cruiting as well as coaching the UK tight ends. While a full slate like this may seem to lead to bumout, Limbaugh could not be any happi- er. As the record shows, Limbaugh has been doing an excellent job as recruiting coordinator. Kentucky has pulled in two top 20 recruiting classes including the 1991 class. which was rated as high as 13th by recruiting guru Max Emt'mger. (‘lasses such as this were not al- ways the case before Coach Bill Curry and his staff (Limbaugh in- cluded) moved north from Ala- bama. But. even with two years of successful recruiting. there was something missing for Limbaugh. He yearned to go back to the prac- tice fields as an on-freld coach. This past offseason, Curry named him the new tight ends coach. and Limbaugh finally had everything he wanted. He describes on-field coaching as the “most fun part of coaching." His enthusiasm easily shines through to the other coaches and players. J unior center Matt Branurn is one of many who has noticed Limbaugh's high spirits. “He definitely presents a positive glow on the field. and it rubs off on the players." Branum added that Limbaugh is one of the most polite men he has ever tnet. “He‘s the perfect South- ent gentlemen." “lixubcrant.” is how (‘urry de- scribed his assistant. “He felt he owed it to his family to get a regu- larjob.“ But football is what makes Limbaugh the happiest. Curry said. While Limbaugh is happy to be back on the field coaching. most Kentuckians know him as the tnan who directs the Wildcats” recruiting efforts. With 14 years experience under his belt, it would be oversim- plifying things to say he is qualified for the task. The highly~touted UK recruiting classes are the results of countless hours that Limbaugh and the staff have logged. “We‘ve developed a philosophy that is quite different from the other schools in as such we recmit small numbers," Limbaugh said. He explained that UK‘s wish list averages about 100 players. This number pales against the 1.200- 1500 names that make up other schools’ lists. This allows UK to take a little closer look at the players. While UK wzutts only the best players to strap on the pads and wear the blue and white.

Limbaugh said. “Our goal is to sign every great player in the state." Thus far. the Wildcats have been almost dead on with their goals. Limbaugh said that since the new staff has been here. there were 26 iii-state players whom the Wildcats wanted. Of those 26. 22 signed with the Wildcats. When looking at potential Wild- cats, Limbaugh has one train of thought. “My thought process is ‘ls he a person we can win the national championship with?‘ " He added that to play for Kentucky, a player must be able to react quickly and cover the field iii a hurry. “The first thing I look for is quick feet." While the UK staff tries to domi- ttate the state in recruiting. it goes beyond the state litres trying to bring in talent. Limbaugh has cx- celled in bringing in the "hidden jewels." One example is James Tucker. from Arlington, Texas. Tucker. who played wide receiv- er in high school, had the misfor- tune of playing for Lamar High School. The learn had a massive of- fensive line zutd a very talented run~ ning back. To say Tucker was main offensive focal point would be a overstatement. But Limbaugh got a look at him as a junior arid the rest is history. “llis feet tutd quickness.“ Lim- baugh said. “He was a great athlete . . lie was everything we were looking for."

But it apparently won't be UK. Harrington. a 6-foot-10 center from Jackson Murrah High School. said Wednesday he plans to visit Oklahoma this weekend. The trip will be his fifth and final official visit. That means Harrington won‘t make an official visit to UK. He had excited Kentucky coaches and fans by saying Sunday he would consider making his final visit to UK. His statement came after Harring- ton scored 19 points and grabbed 21 rebounds earlier that day in a Most Valuable Player performance in the McDonald‘s Classic. a high school all-star game in Atlanta. "You have too many guys. now.“ Harrington said of Kentucky in an interview with the Lexington Her- SEC Notes aid-Leader. “Where am i going to fit in and play at without having to share time.“ Kentucky‘s signing of junior col- lege big man Rodney Dent on Mon- day apparently killed any chance of a Harrington visit to Lexington.

Georgetown. LSU and Mississippi Slate. He said he's “80 percent sure" of his decision. Thomas signs with Mississippi State MONTICELLO. Miss. — it was hard to tell what decision all-state guard Vandale Thomas had made when he walked into a press confer- ence to announce his college choice. That‘s because three colleg— es were represented by the clothes he wore. But after Thomas signed his let‘ ter-of-intent Wednesday. Mississip- pi Statc had a new (Hoot-4. 190- pound guard. Thomas. an all-state pick from Lawrence County averaged 2| points. seven rebounds, three assists and three steals per game during the MOI-()2 season. His team compiled a 38-2 record and won its second- straight Class 4A state chzunpion- ship. He said he had three finalists. each represented on his body. He wore an LSU baseball cap. a Mis- sissippi State T-shirt and a pair of University of Arkansas shorts dur- ing the press conference at Law- rence County High School. “i felt that Mississippi State was the best place for me and the most comfortable place to be." Thomas said. “I like the way the coaches stress the academic part." Thomas was State's third basket- ball signee of the 1991-92 recruit- ing period. Thomas joins Mississip- pi State‘s previously-announced signees Marcus Mann front South Leake High and Marlon Dorsey from Shelby Broad Street High. “Vandale is another player who will fit perfectly into our mold here at State. as he is a quality person in addition to being a tremendous bas- ketball player." said MSU head coach Richard Williams. Last November. Thomas wanted to sign with LSU during the NCAA‘s early signing period. But his mother, Queen Ester McGee. objected and counseled her son to wait because she said his decision was hasty. “i wanted Vandale to wait and make sure it was what he wanted."

KICK OFF ‘ '- K-ituckv tumor, Friday, Aprll 24, 1992 Student Videos spotlighted in exhibit tomorrow night By JOHN DYER FORT Assistant Arts Editor Last December, the UK Experi- mental Video Lab presented the works of student artists in two sold- out shows. Called Inter/7am In Yer Face, it was the first show of its kind at UK. The Video Lab’s current show, Visceral Mitre, will feature all new student works plus performance art footage captured on video. The ex~ panded 90-minute show will be pre sented tomorrow night at 7 and 9 in the Old Student Center Theater. Last Fall, lnterFacc featured high-tech, cutting-edge works on the theater‘s large screen. The works displayed sophisticated video techniques like those made famous by MTV. Showcasing individual styles and Statements, videos shown included a gritty, sepia-toned Appalachian folk musrc video; a kaleidoscopic, man against machine vision that metamorphosed and bled all over the screen; a Davrd Lynch—inspired, black—and-white back-alley moth- er's-worst’nightmare; and docu-pop musings on everything from belly- button lint to sex and violence. New works for Visceral Muse in- clude lnterF ace exhibitors Ephraim McDowell, Anessa Arehart, Ed Bo- Iand, Lee Ann Holt and Marcy Werner. New exhibitors irclude Miysan Crosswhite, featuring Afrolachian (a term coined by local black poet Frank X. Walker) poets and an at- tack on racism; J. J. Haws’ “Bull~ horns for Jesus," “Industrial Zen" and reanimated meat; Rachel Col- vin's “indulgent sensuality“ and a tale of revenge against a rapist; “Fashion Scars“ by Rod Lindauer: and Chris Griggs' tales of “modern existential escapism, primitive per- cussion exorcism and the interface of sex ual encounters." The student artists spend count- less hours in the Experimental Vid- eo Lab, a burgeoning well-spring of innovative, provocative works. Stu- dents often spend 80 to 100 hours or more on one five-minute video creation. The Lab is under the direction of professor Shawn Brixey, who spe- cializes in “hybrid art." Schooled at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology, Brixey is a technical wander/(ind trained in sci- entific craft and electronic multi- media art. The result is a blend of mad science and New Age/Next Wave post-modem an. Half garage workshop, half art studio, the Video Lab is a makeshift installation in the Reynolds Build— ing near Scott Street and Broadway. The building is a rambling maze of halls, open exhibit spaces and no-frills work space. Brixey‘s of- fice studio looks like a TV repair shop. Low on funds, the Video Lab has had to rely on scrap appliances and electronic parts found in the damp, cavemous basement of the ancient UK Surplus budding. Students enrolled in Brixey‘s art classes learn video shooting and re- mixing techniques, including “Mere ican Interface." a technique named after South American video bandits, who steal copyrighted TV broad~ casts by videotaping them for sale or re-broadcast. When interfacing, students ina- nipulate images by reshooting their own videos from monitors.
