Planning begins for

Universities should see
‘big picture,’ Jones says

By NICK COMER
Senior Staff Writer

Educators across Kentucky. in-
cluding those in the state‘s colleges
and universities. are going to have
to work together to make the 1990
Kentucky Educational Refonn Act
work, (iov. 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.

Assertive

campaign

By TAMARA CASKEY
Contributing Writer

After being on the go since 9
am. UK senior lirica McDonald
finally retunis to her single dorm
room at Donovan Hall at 7 pm.
Yet. this is one of her easy days.
McDonald. chairwoman of the
Student library Endowment
Committee. works as a UK tele-
phone operator and usually does
not retuni to her room until 11 or
l2 pm.

“I wish I had 48 hours in a
day. But even then I would prob-
ably still not have enough time
to get the things I need to get
done.“ she said as she collapsed
on her bed.

Working as a telephone opera-
tor is just one of the many re-
sponsibilities McDonald has.
Taking a full load of courses this
semester. she will graduate in
May with a degree in sociology.

It would seem that going to
school and working would be
enough. but not for McDonald.
She spends 15 hours a week on
the Student Library Campaign.
“Pack the Stacks."

“l have always wanted to do
something to give them (UK)
back what they have given me.
which is an education.“

Having already raised
8126.000. the Student library
lindowmcnt (‘ommittec ended
its fund-raising efforts to build a
new library at UK for this year.

lirica McDonald. chairwoman
of the committee. said she is sat-
isfied with funds raised and
hopes cvcti more donations will
be received in the future.

“We‘re so excited just be»
cause we got the opportunity to
do something like this 'l‘o our
knowledge we're the only crun-
pus til the US. whose student
body has even attempted to do
something like this." she said.

Barry Stumbo. who serves as
the faculty adviser to Sllit‘.
said he believes the campaign
was very successful because stu-
dents got involved.

Stumbo said the student fund-
raisitig effort has been “unparal-
lelcd in higher education, and I
think they've done extremely
well."

McDonald said while about
800 students made monetary do-
nations to the campaign. most of
the money raised came froin
group donations. Alpha Delta Pi

Staff. wire reports

As administrators at UK begin
planning to deal with a total $23.3
million cut in state funding during
the next two years. the University
of Louisville is considering a plan
to release more than 30 employees
by July I and eliminate 100 other
budgeted jobs.

UK President (‘harles Wething-
ton released a memorandum to la-
culty and staff this week outlining
some of the actions that could be lll'
cluded in a budget pltm. which will
be presented at the Board of frus—
tecs' .lunc 16 meeting.

In the memorandum. Wethmgioii
reaffirmed his commitment to avoid
layoffs and mandatory salary reduc-
tions or furlouglis if possible,

He also pledged to protect aca-
demic programs.

“To protect l 'niversity employees
and their iobs. the first portion of
these cuts impacted academic pro-
grams more tlizut we would have
liked." the memo reads, The second
round of cuts will focus on non-
l'aculty positions. it says

Another plan the l'niversity l\
considering. according to the mem-
orandum. is postponing some l'Cllti»
vation projects.

Chancellors will be asked to iden—
tify problems with any buildings.
which are in need of repair. “some
of which appears to be routine

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-

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. Sarn—
uels said there is a noticeable differ—
ence in this year‘s unit, and he can
feel it in the hits he's receiving dur-

Limbaugh an important factor
in Curry’s equation for success

By SCOTT REYNOLDS
Contributing Writer

“Together We Win!"

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

puts a heavy focus on the iii-state
high school players.

“We base our philosophy on re—
cruiting the heart and soul of our
football team from Kentucky."
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." 'l'ucker is now slotted
at rover on the UK roster.

JACKSON. Miss. — Otliella
Harrington, Mississippi high school
boys‘ Player of the Year. said he
plans to sign a national letter of in-
tent to play college basketball May
4. but he's not saying who with.

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.
Competition at center next season
for Kentucky figures to include jutt-
ior-to-be Gimel Martinez. two
sophomores-to-be in Andre Riddick
and Aminu Timberlake and Dent.

Oklahoma isn't a latecomer in the
search for his signature. Harrington
said.

“Oklahoma has always been in
it.“ Harrington said. “it‘s a serious
contender.“

Harrington. who averaged 28.9
points. 24.9 rebounds and 5.8
blocked shots per game as Jackson
Murrah won its second straight 5-A
state championship. said he also is
considering Arkansas. 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."
McGee said Wednesday. "l‘ni hap-

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.

All videos tn \l.\'t.'(‘rtl/ Muse will
be projected from master tapes,
which causes a 2(i-second delay be-
tween works.

”Sttidents opted for the sharper
quality of individual first generation
master tapes rather than download
them onto one poorer quality tape
just lor the show." said Byl Hen-
sley, president of the Student Activ-
ities Board Performing Arts Collec-
tive that sponsors the show.

Visceral Muse is showing tomor-
row at 7 and 9 pm. Tickets are $2
at the door. All proceeds from the
show will benefit the UK Experi-
mental Video/Media Lab to expand
their production facrlitics.

For anyone free tonight at
midnight, UK student John Ar-
thor Leynes will present Water,
an avantc-garde play about es-
caping the limits of words and
stereotypes.

“It's about metaphors and how
difficult it is often to express
one's ideas," said Leynes,
