UK police found evidence Mon-
day night that two students had
been drinking in the dorm room
where UK eomerback Ted Presley
was fatally shot Thursday morning.

 

When police returned to 113
Blanding II shortly after 10 pm.
Monday night to gather more evi-
dence. officers discovered two emp-
ty containers of malt liquor in a gar-
bage can, UK spokesman Ralph
Derickson said. Police also found a
bottle of gin in the refrigerator, he
said.

University policy prohibits any-
one from possessing or consuming
alcoholic beverages in a residence
hall.

The two men, Jeffrey Mitchell
and Jason Smith, both told police
that they were in the room when
Presley allegedly shot himself in
the head with a .22-caliber pistol
while playing a game of Russian
roulette with Smith.

Smith, who was Presley’s room-
mate and lifelong friend, and Mitch-
ell, a 21-year-old UK student from
Louisville, Ky., also told police
they had been drinking malt liquor
and gin the night of the shooting,
but the new evidence is the first in-
dication that they consumed the al-
cohol while inside Blanding II.

Presley. who died at the age of 22
on Friday. had no traces of alcohol
or drugs in his system, according to

an initial coroner's report.

Bob Clay, director of residence
life, could not be reached for com-
ment yesterday because he was
traveling to Hopkinsville for
Presley’s funeral.

Clay said Monday, however, that
it is virtually impossible to keep al-
cohol — or any contraband, includ-
ing firearms — out of residence
halls.

On any given Sunday morning,
scores of beers cans can be found in
garbage bins at residence halls
across campus — including garbage
cans at Holmes Hall, where Ciay
lives.

“We speak to students pretty reg—
ularly about that and ask, ‘How did
they get here,‘ but it is not illegal to
possess (an empty) beer can," he
said.

Clay admits that students do
sneak alcohol by front desk workers
and resident advisers, but he said
UK cannot run its residence halls
like police states, where students
and their rooms would be subject to
random searches for contraband.

“If we did that, we’d probably
have a lot of empty residence
halls." Clay said.

“We basically adopt a posture
with our rules: We will neither look
for nor ignore a violation. I don’t
want my staff member hiding
around comers, but if my staff per-
son turns the comer and you're
standing there with a can of beer.

Female athletes protected by Title IX

 

By John Kelly
Senior Staff Writer

 

The UK Athletics Association
spent more than $5 on men‘s sports
for every dollar it spent on wom-
en‘s sports in 1992-93, according to
budgets obtained from the associa-
tion.

The question then for UK and
other universities around the nation
is whether that type of spending
constitutes a violation of Title lX of
the Education Amendments of 1972
— a federal statute that mandates
equal extracurricular opportunities
for men and women at federally-
funded institutions.

Because of the ever-growing gap
in interpretations of the law and a
lack of consistent enforcement
throughout the years. it is difficult
to determine whether a school is in
compliance with Title IX. But the
law does exist. and because of in-
creased interest in it by political ac-
tion groups, Congress, the courts
and the media, the push for stricter
enforcement of the law is growing.

“There are more teeth in the law
now,“ said Katheryn Reith. assist-
ant executive director of the Wom-
en‘s Sports Foundation, a leading
Title IX advocacy group. “There is
much more possibility now that a
university could really suffer for
not complying."

The UKAA defends itself by say-
ing that it interprets the statute as
mandating equality, not on the basis
of dollar-for-dollar spending on
male and female athletes, but on the
basis of fair and equal treatment of
the sexes.

“You have gotta be naive to sit
here and say that every female or
male athlete is completely happy
with what goes on overall. but
you‘d be hard—pressed to say they
have not been treated fairly (at
UK).“ UK athletics director CM.
Newton said.

But Title IX advocates are look-
ing for firmer compliance.

Title IX states that “no person in
the United States shall, on the basis
of sex. be excluded from participa-
tion in, be denied the benefits of, or
be subjected to discrimination un-
der any education program or activ-
ity receiving federal financial assis-
tance.”

Based on a literal interpretation,
UK could be in violation of the law.
In 1991-92. UK spent an average of
$31,185 on each of its male athletes
while allocating only $18,099 to its
female athletes.

Those are grim numbers, espe-
cially considering they are worse
titan the average Division 1 pro-
gram. In 1990-91. the average Divi-
sion 1 school spent 22.3 percent on
its women’s sports, according to a

1991 gender-equity study commis-
sioned by the NCAA. UK spent
15.9 percent on its women‘s sports
in 1990-91.

“In a department like the Univer-
sity of Kentucky‘s, you have a lot
of issues." said Kathy DeBoer,
UK‘s assistant athletic director for
non-revenue sports. “If you just
look at that side of the equation. it
looks like there are massive inequi-
ties. Where you will find the inequi-
ties is that you have two sports
which are funded at a much higher
level than the other 19."

Those two sports — football and
men's basketball — receive higher
funding because they are the only
two sports in the department that
make a profit, and that profit must
be protected because it pays for the
other 19 sports, DeBoer said.

“Title IX only addresses the issue
of expenditures, it does not address
revenue.“ said DeBoer, who added
that UK is making strides toward
leveling the playing field for its fe-
male athletes.

“I would not be here if I were not
confident that our leadership, not
only in our athletic department, but
also in our institution, were com-
mitted to fairness in athletics based
on gender,“ she said.

The NCAA and legislators are
still determining precisely how Ti-
tle IX applies to intercollegiate athc
letics.

The NCAA, some major confer-
ences and UK are working on vari-
ous studies to decide precisely how
to deal with complying with Title
IX. The NCAA has a task force
working on a definition of gender
equity and a plans to help its mem-
ber schools achieve it.

“We need a central, single defini-
tion that we can all work from,"
said Micki Hogue, who was hired
this fall as a special assistant to
Newton, primarily to conduct an in-
ternal study of gender equity within
the UK Athletics Association. “In
the absence of that, we are defining
it at UK as fair. and fair doesn‘t
necessarily mean equal.“

But with suits being filed by fe-
male athletes who feel short-
changed. Congress and the courts
are showing more interest in enforc-
ing the law. and the media seem
more intent to let female athletes
know what their rights are.

One case. Franklin v. Gwinnett
County Public Schools reached the
Supreme Court. which ruled that
monetary damages could be award-
ed to a plaintiff in a Title IX case.

“Anyone could file suit. and win.
if there were deficiencies based on
sex." Reith said.

A student would have to file a
complaint with the Office of Civil
Rights. though. to force a school to

Women’s Sports at UK

comply. That‘s another reason the
law is just now receiving its due,
Reith said. Title [X was never and
still isn‘t enforced as thoroughly as
it should be by the Office of Civil
Rights. Reith said.

“The OCR has not monitored its
complaints thoroughly.“ Reith said.
“For the most part. schools found in
violation of Title IX in the early
'803 ignored it. The worst thing that
could happen if the school didn‘t do
what OCR or the court ordered
themtodoisthatthecourt would
order them to do it again. So the
longer they stalled it. the more
money they saved."

One example hits bane. Ray

the women’s swim club, filed a Ti-
tle IX complaint against UK with
the OCR. The coach wanted the
same resources a men‘s varsity
team received. and he wanted his
team elevated to varsity status.

The OCR investigated in April
1982 and filed a report stating that
UK was discriminating against its
female athletes. Among the many
observations and recommendations
for improvement found in the OCR
rcpm was that saute practice floor
at Alumni Gymnasium, which it
said was in poor condition and

More than 400 attend
funeral for Presley

 

Associated Press

 

HOPKINSVII.I.E, Ky. — UK
defensive backs coach Rick
Smith was emotional Tuesday as
he described Wildcat football
player Ted Presley as the tough-
est player he ever coached.

Presley died last week after al-
legedly shooting himself in the
head playing Russian roulette.
Police are still investigating cir-
cumstances surrounding his
death.

More than 400 people, includ-
ing the UK football team. attend—
ed the two-hour funeral service
at Freeman Chapel CME
Church.

“I always talked to my young
men about being a man.‘ Smith
said.

“Ted was a man and a lot of
people never realized that.“

Smith said while looking
through Presley's playbook, he
found four priorities written ~—
God first, family second. educa-
tion third and football fourth.

Smith said Presley represented

Ted was a man, and
a lot of people never
realized that.

team strives for.

The UK football team donated
a portion of its meal money to
Presley’s family.

Wildcats head coach Bill Cur-
ry gave Presley‘s helmet to the
UK comerback's parents.

Dan Goble, Presley‘s coach at
Christian County High from
1987-88, said his team will retire
his former player‘s number next
season and wear decals on their
helmets in memory of Presley.

The team held a memorial ser‘
vice for Presley Monday night in
Lexington.

Presley, who would have been

untouched for the past three years.

Lee said that necessary repairs
and renovations to the house will be
paid for by the fraternity.

“The house has to be brought
back up to the current fire and safe-

ty codes before (the Phi Tans) can
live in it," Lee said. “That in itself
is going to cost a great deal of mon-
ey.“

Byers will move out of the house
this fall when Phi Kappa Tau plans
to return to campus. He said that
two things he will miss about the
apartment are its close proximity to
campus and, naturally, the free rent.

Four ex-Cats

snatched up
in NFL draft

Staff reports

 

 

Four UK football players have
been selected in the 1993 National
Football League Draft which ended
Monday at the Marriott Marquis in
Manhattan.

Dean Wells, Todd Perry, Chuck
Bradley and Doug Pelfrey represent
the second-highest number of UK
players selected in the NFL draft
during one year.

The greatest number taken was
five in 1966, which included three
first-round selections (Sam Ball,
Rick Norton and Rodger Bird). 3
second-round choice (Bob Wind-
sor) and an lSth-round selection
(Rick Kestner).

Wells, 3 6-foot-3, 243-pound
linebacker from Louisville, Ky..
was the fourth-round selection of
the Seattle Seahawks and 851h pick
overall.

Perry, a 6-5, 292-pound offensive
guard from Elizabethtown also was
a fourth-round choice, going to the
Chicago Bears as the 97th pick
overall.

Both Wells and Perry were draft-
ed Sunday. The NFL held rounds
one through four Sunday and live
through eight Monday.

Bradley, a 6-5, 305-pound line-
backer from Louisville was taken
by the Houston Oilers in the sixth
round as the 158th selection.

Pelfrey, a 5-11. 183~p0und kicker
from Edgewood finished out the
UK draftees. being selected in the
eighth round by the Cincinnati Ben-
gals as the 202nd overall pick.

“Obviously. we are thrilled for
these outstanding young men.“ UK
head coach Bill Curry said. “We
were really blessed to have them in
our program. Three of them were
recruited by Jerry Claiborne‘s staff.
and the other (Pelfrey) came to the
University as a walk-on.

“All four were marvelous on the
football field for us. but most im-
portantly. they are excellent peo-
ple.“

Curry also said that the four for-
mer Wildcats have a chance to sue-
ceed in the NFL.

“After spending 14 years in the
National Football League, I believe
I still understand what it takes to
play on the next level. That‘s why I
feel confident all four have a legiti—
mate chance to be 3 NFL player.“

Wells ended his career with the
Cats with a total of 206 tackles in
43 games, including 17 quarterback
sacks and nine tackles behind the
line.

In 1992, Wells set the UK single-
season record with 10 sacks while
posting 71 tackles.

Wells also played in the Blue-
Gray All Star game, the East-West
Shrine game and the Senior Bowl.

Perry started 37 of 43 at left
guard for UK. Last year, Perry was
named to the second team All-
Southeastem Conference by The
Associated Press.

He was also named the Wildcats‘
most outstanding lineman. He
played in the Japan Bowl. the East-
West Shrine game and the Senior
Bowl.

Bradley started 33 of 40 games
during his career, including a string
of 27 consecutive starting assign-
ments which ended with an ankle
injury against Louisiana State this
season.

As a freshman, he was named to
the Football News Freshman All-
American team. He played in the
Blue-Gray All-Star game and the
Senior Bowl.

Pelfrey was the Wildcats‘ place-
kicker the past three seasons after
beginning his career as a walk-on.
He owns five UK kicking records
for field goals and ranked third on
the all-time SEC list for most field
goals of 50 yards-or-more with a to-
tal of eight.

As a senior, Pelfrey was named
second team All-SEC by the coach-
es and The AP. He also participated
in the Blue-Gray All-Star game.

UK has had four players selected
in the NFL draft on four other occa-
sions —- I961. I962. I976. I978.
1985 and 1988.

The Cats have had three players
chosen in one year a total of seven
times. In all. UK has had 93 players
taken in the NFL daft since 1950.

THE FIRST STOP TO
INTELLIGENT LIFE
IN THE UNIVERSE!

 

  

They flutter behind you.

your possible pasts:

Some bright-eyed and crazy.
Some frightened and lost.

A warning to anyone

still in command

of their possible future.

to take care.

In derelict sidings, the poppies
entwine

with cattle trucks —

lying in wait for the next time.
—— Pink Floyd (1982)

Prophecy is usually thought of as
some impossible vision of the fu-
ture, denied to most people but
plain as day to the second-sighted
shaman or wise man.

There is, however, another kind
of prophecy: the ability to foresee
the possible future based on past
and present realities.

For some reason, this second
kind of prophecy finds its voice
most often in the utterances of pop-
ular writers, artists and musicians.

In an attempt to wrap up this se-
mester-long diatribe on racism and
music, I would like for you to look
with me at a few words of prophetic
vision as revealed to certain popular
musicians — words that make it
plain as day where we are all

doomed to end up, if we allow these
hatreds to take their natural course.

The words to the left appear near
the beginning of Pink Floyd‘s “The
Final Cut,“ subtitled as “A Requiem
for the Post-War Dream."

The “warning to anyone still in
command" is addressed to you and
me. The poppies, of course, often
appear in literature as symbols of
peace after wartime. The cattle
trucks are the train cars used by the
Nazis to transpon millions of Jews
to their deaths —— and these are
merely lying in wait for the next
time.

Prophecy of this sort is nothing
new to Waters. In “The Wall," he
saw present-day England as a pre-
Hitler Germany, just waiting for an
excuse for all the bottled-up hate to
vent its anger upon “the queers and
the coons and the Reds and the
Jews," as one song goes.

In 1979, when “The Wall" was
released, very few saw the implica-
tions of present trends based on past
performance. In 1982, when “The
Final Cut" was released, a few
more saw it — but for most, these
words just didn't make sense.

Out of Floyd waters flows the truth

 

 

many thought the human race was
finally learning to live in harmony.

In fact, a live performance of
“The Wall" was held on the ruins of
the Berlin Wall 3 year later as a
commemoration of sorts.

At the time, Waters‘ vision of fu-
ture neo-Nazi skinheads seemed
old-fashioned -— that is, until the
very thing appeared in the “re-
unified" Germany, of all places.

The same thing is repeating itself
over and over again — as it is eve—
rywhere. As it is here.

No, you say? Well, wake up,
man. Just check last Wednesday's
Kernel where you will find an in-
credibly blatant example of pure ra-
cism paraded under the guise of a
“guest opinion."

Just listen to people on the street.
you'll hear things that will make
you sick — or scared to death.

Yes, it seems that when left to its
own devices, the human race will
continue to create new versions of
the same old excuses to hate and
fight and kill. Waters just wanted to
warn us ahead of time.

This, friends, is where all this
will lead us. Racism, sexism, fanati-
cism ~— these are just handy excus-
es to be used when one human be-
ing wants to do evil to another.

The bottom line lies in how you
treat every other person. every mo-
ment, every day. You may choose
to treat others with respect — or
you may choose to fall back on one
of these excuses and sin against
your fellow man.

Like Waters, I just want to wam
you ahead of time — this will end
up only one way, and that is in final
equality. And who is the Great
Equalizer? Why, Death, of course.
And that‘s what we’re all going to
get if we continue to fall back on
the old excuses for murder.

United we stand. divided we fall
— or, in other words, we either

team to live together, or we are all
going to die together.

There is no middle road. There
are no multiple options — and, in
this day of the Bomb, there are no
second chances.

This is the kind of final equality
Peter Gabriel refers to in his song
“Biko,” written about the South Af-
rican activist who was beaten to
death in hisjail cell:

When I try to sleep at night,

I can only dream in red:

The outside world

is black and white —

With only one color dead

You see, that's one thing we all
have in common: We all bleed. And
we all die.

The ending section of "The Final
Cut" looks ahead to the day that the
hatred gives way and the human
race decides to wipe itself off the
face of the planet. Two suns in the
sunset? Well. friends, one sun is the
sun and the other is a hydrogen
bomb. You figure it out.

We will all be equal in the end,
one way or another — all alive or
all dead. It‘s your choice. I‘ve al-
ready made mine: but again, we’re
all in this together — and if you de-
cide to send me to Hell, you have to
go. too.

In my rear view mirror,

the sun is going down

Sinking behind bridges in the
road

And I think of all the good things

that we have left undone w

and I suffer prenwnitions,

confirm suspicions

of the holocaust to come.

The wire that holds the cork that

keeps the anger in gives way —

And suddenly, it's day again.

The sun is in the east,

even though the day is done

Two suns in the sunset —

Could be the human race is run

And as the windshield melts.

my tears evaporate

leaving only charcoal to defend

Finally I understand

the feelings of the few:

Ashes and diamonds,

foe and friend ——

we were all equal in the end.

Unknown comedian
gets Letterman job

 

By Frazier Moore
Associated Press

NEW YORK — Did NBC
choose unknown comic Conan
O‘Brien to take “Late Night” in
bold, new directions? Or did a pan-
icked network merely cast him into
the void that David Letterman
created and Garry Shandling re-
fused to fill?

Shandling's manager, Brad Grey,
says the “Late Night" job was
Shandling’s if he wanted it. NBC
says negotiations never got that far.

Those and other matters were still
hanging after NBC’s West Coast
brass announced their unexpected
choice in an unexpected way: On
Monday’s “The Tonight Show with

 

Jay Leno.“

What viewers saw was a gangly.
fair~haired. 30-year-old who told
Leno he had been “eating a big
sandwich" when he got word of his
selection earlier in the day.

NBC has had indigestion lately.
too. Its prime—time lineup sits in
third place in the ratings. Its news
division has suffered numerous em-
barrassments, including the “Date-
line NBC“-GM pickup truck scan-
dal that led to the April resignation
of NBC News President Michael
Gartner.

And after the network gave John-
ny Carson‘s crown to Jay Leno, an
angry David Letterman defected to
CBS, where he goes head-to-head
against “Tonight" slaying Aug. L

Angela Salvatore spent four years
knowing and hating the answer to a
decision she had to make several
times a week during volleyball
practice — to dive or not to dive.

Salvatore dove.

“You dive in volleyball," she
said. “There's no getting around it.
You either face the wrath of the
nails or you face (UK volleyball
coach Kathy) DeBoer's wrath."

Yes, she did say nails. The kind
that tend to hurt when you land on
them. The ones that she said were
abundant and protruding from the
old floor in the Alumni Gymna-
sium, where the volleyball team
practiced about three times a week
last fall and many falls before that.

“Every practice. we were pound-
ing nails back into the floor over
there," Salvatore said. “I don’t
know how many shons have been
ripped. I mean it's a very dangerous
facility. and we don’t have a choice
because of men’s basketball. Men‘s
basketball gets to decide, even
when we’re in season, when they
want the gym (at Memorial Coli-
seum)."

That is partly (me, said Beverly
Jones, who assists Director of Ad-
ministrative Services Rodney Stiles
in doling out the practice time at
Memorial, which is shared by both
basketball teams and women‘s vol-
leyball team, as well as women’s
soccer and gymnastics on occasion.
There are priorities in scheduling,
Jones said.

The men's basketball team has
