By Tiffany Gilmartt:

UK and the State University of New York at

ence écusing on the recruitment and retention of
minorities in education.

The conference “Affirming Our Actions:
Agenda for the let Century”, will be held at the
Radisson Plaza Hotel In Lexington from Feb. 11—
13.

Educators and researchers around the nation
and from Puerto Rico will come to Lexington to
discuss why the faces of the nations' teachers are
not re resentative of their students and sugges—
tions or improving this problem.

Deneese Jones, assistant rofessor of curricu~

and chairwoman of the convention, hopes to raise
the level of awareness of students on campus
throu h the conference.

Yesterday, during his first
opportunity to comment on the
recruiting class, Curry said he

“(In the past) we’ve always

always tried,” Curry said. “But we
just did a better job this year of
signing larger numbers where
necessary, such areas as linemen."

UK signed 20 players during
the first day of signin on
Wednesday, including the Crown
Jewel, the National Player of the
Year, Leslie Co. quarterback Tim
Couch.

Along with those 20, there
were already six players enrolled
in school this semester who are
transfers and are eligible to par-

While t e signing of Couch
brought attention to this year’s
recruiting class, many of the so-

class 10th in the Southeastern
Conference. However, the opin~
ions of those experts don't con—
cern Curry right now.

“I've been part of classes
which were ranked very high (by
the experts),” he said. “And I’ve
been part of classes which were
called by those same gurus as the.
worst recruiting class in the his-
tory of whatever, and that class
went on to win the national
championship.”

The signing of Couch raises
the obvious question: “Will he
start the season's first game
against Louisville?”

“Do I think it is possible for
Tim Couch to come in and
start?” Curry said. “Yes it’s possi-
ble and he’ll be given that oppor—
tunlty.”

Actually Curry thinks not
making Couch any promises
improved UK’s chances.

“He expressed to us from the
ve beginning that he wasn’t
l lilting for anybody promising
playing time, and I think ople
who tried that actually id not
make as strong an impression to
him as getting the chance to
come in and compete.”

- -—-—W—-~ -

While Couch is the biggest
name in the thlSS, there are sever—
al other players who could come
in and contribute:

VDerick Logan, a 6—foot—2,
218 pound tailback from Marine
Military High School in
Chatham, Va.

“Excellent speed, toughness
and balance," Curry said. “He has
the chance to‘ become a true big
league tailback.”

VMarvin Love, a S-foot—lO,
153 pound wide receiver from
Oakland, Calif.

“(I-1e) can run very fast,”
Curry said, “but you would
expect that from the California
state loo-meters champion.
We’re impressed with the way he
catches the ball in his hands.”

Love is already enrolled in
school and ‘will participate in
sprin practice.

Vgiiguel Merritt, a 6-foot,
195 pound linebacker from Hop—
kinsville.

“(He) will probably play
linebacker,” Curry said. “He can
plaga lot of places, I know that.”

In other news, Jonas Lien-
ing, a rcdshirt freshman offensive
tackle from Minster, Ohio, has
been reinstated to the team. He
had been suspended on Jan. 18
for violating team rules. liening
payed every offensive lay of the

Bats hoping to alter history

By Jason Dahlia

If history repeats itself,
Arkansas will walk away from Lex-
ington tomorrow with a victory
over No. 2 UK.

After all, the Razorbacks have

day in Fayetteville.

The mass exodus required
Richardson to start from scratch.
With the new cast of characters
learning a new system, the Razor—
backs (l4—7 overall, 6-3 SEC) find
themselves with an un'Arkansas

polls for the first

Delk. who smoked the Razorbacks for 46 total points in the teams‘ two meetings
last season. Meanwhile UK's freshman pornt guard erI be matched up with a fellow
frosh in Arkansas’ 5-foot-11 Kareem Reid. Since both teams play pressure defense.
ball handling at the guard spots is critical to their squads chances of victory.

FBONTCOURT

When the Razorbacks take the floor Sunday at Rupp Arena, UK's post players are
likely to do a double take. Where's Corliss Williamson or Dwight Stewart? No more
Oliver Miller. The fact is, Arkansas' frontline isn‘t nearly as deep as the

Razorback painters who have terrorized UK in the past. Still, the Razorbacks do
have a pair of 6-toot-11 centers in Lee Wilson and Darnell Robinson. and every—
body knows UK'3 past history with opposing big men.

In past years, the Hogs' bench was stocked lull of talented players. But times
change, and while Coach Nolan Richardson has a pile of talent, most of his players
still are learning the system. If UK can wear down the Razorbacks — a difficult task
in a national TV game —— the Cats‘ own moon of “40 minutes of hell" could turn
