By GREGORY A. HALL
Associate Editor

People wondering whether
Dwane Casey put $1,000 in an over-
night package to a recruit's father
were still wondering after UK re-
leased on Friday its 4,300-page re-
sponse to the NCAA’s investigation
of the school’s basketball program.
Also left wondering were those who
wanted to know from whom did
Eric Manual cheat on his ACT -—
if, in fact. he cheated.

 

response contains no smoking guns

In response to a lawsuit brought
by three Kentucky newspapers, the
state Supreme
Court ruled
April 9 that UK
had to release
the report.

Most of the
findings frotn
the investigation,
which placed
UK on probation
for three years
and resulted iii

the resignations of athletics director
Cliff Hagan and head coach Eddie
Sutton. were al-
ready known at
the time of the
investigation.
Included in the
report:

to the NCAA
that there was

dence" that

FBI probe casts shadow
over accomplishments of
1992 General Assembly

By MARK Fl. CHELLGREN
Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. From
crime to campaigns, economic de-
velopment to the environment. the
l992 General Assembly touched a
number of topics during the session
that just ended.

By its end Tuesday, though. much
of what had been debated was lost
among coricem about a federal iii-
vestigation of goveminent wrongdo-
ing in Kentucky that touched the
legislature.

Many lawmakers worried the iii<
vestigation overshadowed every-
thing they had done, and hoped for
a quick conclusion.

Nevertheless. legislators ad-

dressed some substtuitive issues.
BUDGET

A budget that spent millions
tnore than the state took in this year
meant lean times when (iov. Brcre-
ton Jones was puttitig together his
spending ideas for the coming bien-
tiiuin. For the most part. the (Better
al Assembly adopted the Jones bud-

$1,000 was in an Emery overnight
package sent to the father of recruit
Chris Mills when the package left
campus. The University. however.
could not ascertain who placed the
money in the envelope.

-Assistarit coaches received ath-
letics-related income from sources
outside the University. btit did not
report the income to UK. a viola-
tion of NCAA rules.

'Basketball players had stayed in
the Joe B. Hall Wildcat Lodge
while they were not students. a vio-

lation of NCAA rules. Because oi
that former UK players Johnathon
Davis, I.eRon Ellis, Derrick Miller
and seniors from this year Deron
Feldhaus and John Pelplircy were
declared ineligible by UK. 'l’hey
were all reinstated by the N(‘AA el-
igibility committee.

-UK withheld much of the infor-
mation surrounding zui NCAA tind-
irig that fonner UK player Iiric Ma-
nuel cheated on his A(,'l‘. Vice
President for Administration l)on—
ald (‘lapp, who is in charge of UK

records, said the documents were
withheld because of an injunction in
a federal case brought by Eric Ma—
nuel.

In general. the University agreed
with the N(‘AA that there was a
lack of proper institutional control
over the basketball progriun.

UK cited the resignations of Sut-
ton and llagaii as recognition of that
deficiency and as a coiriinitiiient to
maintain stricter control in the fit-

When she was a sophomore at

(iibson‘s top priority for next
year‘s yearbook will be bringing
new faces to the publication.

“One of the big things we're go-

said. This year has “been a difficult
year.“ because much of the work
has been done by the yczu‘book‘s

getting people into the publica-

cause the job is not always glzunor-

“We're not really a visible or-
