Coach Bill Curry has class, but he has also over-

stayed his welcome.

That is the overall consensus from students on

the UK campus.

Most students were surprised by the news of

Curry’s firing but not shocked.

“His style is not working here, but I think he is a
good man,” said Scott MacDonald, a finance fresh-
man from Louisville. “He might have a chance to
coach somewhere else where he might be more

effective.”

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY. LEXINGTON. KENTUCKY

By Chris Easterllng

Sports Editor
Bill Cur has been fired as
head footballcoach at UK, effec-

tive at the end of the this season,
UK Athletics Director C.M.
Newton said yesterday afternoon.

“The reason we’re making this
move is obvious in that our foot-
ball program has not made the
progress, from a competitive
standpoint, that it needed to
make,” Newton said in a prepared
statement.

He also said the entire football
program, includin facilities and
support staff, will fie examined to
see if his office can pinpoint the
reason for UK’s struggles on the
gridiron.

One of the mandates placed on
Curry when he was kept on for
the 1996 season was that the team
show “significant improvement”
this season.

This was assumed to mean not
only a winning season, which has
never happen in Curry’s seven
years at UK, but also a bowl berth,
which the Cats have only man-
aged once in the Curry regime.

With the Cats’ 1—6 start and a
bowl game completely out of the

uestion, Newton reached his

ecision after speaking with Curry
both on Sunday night and yester-
day morning.

Newton said he decided to
make the announcement both to
end any speculation about the
coach’s status and in order to
begin the rocess to find a
replacement or the coach.

The University will honor the
contracts of Curry and the assis-
tant coaches, all of whom will be
fired with Curry at the end of the

While most considered Curry to be a good per-
son, his record on the field left something to be
desired. A 1-6 record was not suitable and even a
man with class will have to find employment else—

where.

“I think that being a nice guy is important in

being a good coach, but I’d rather have someone

who was a great coach than a nice guy,” said Robert

Griffiths, a junior in accounting.

Griffiths said he was glad Curry got the boot

because, “I feel like he's done a pitiful job as a

coach.”

Other students agree that wins are more impor-
tant than being a “nice guy.” Cartwright Stephens, a
pre-joumalism freshman said Curry’s firing was long

overdue. His comments mirrored the general feeling

season. Curry will be paid around
$600,000 for the final two years of
his contract.

Curry, who has posted a 23-51
record at UK, refused to answer
questions yesterday following
practice as the Cats prepare for
Saturday’s Homecoming game
against Geor 'a.

But he dif‘stop long enough to
read from a prepared statement.

“I have been given more than a
fair opportunigr, and have not
gotten the job one,” Curry said.
“I accept total responsibility for
that.

“I also want to oint out that I
love the ame 0 football and I
love the Payers,” he continued.

“My first obligation has been
and will continue to be their well
being. I will give them my
heart and soul for these last four
games."

Newton said he didn’t have a
particular timetable as to when he
wanted to have a new coach in
place.

“As soon as we can et the right
person,” Newton saicfi “It’s obvi-
ously critical that we get the right
person.”

Though Newton said he did
not have one articular erson or
list in mind, t ere have een sev-
eral names that have been kicked
around the past few weeks.

“I've given practically no
thought to (a new coach),” New-
ton said.

“I don’t have any preconceived
notions. \Ve just have to get the
right person. Head coaching expe-
rience. non-head coachin experi-
ence, the only thing that Pcan tell
you is that it probably won’t be
someone from the media."

_ “This is not an easy place to

among students on campus.

Because Curry just wasn’t getting the job done,
students thought he should have been shown the
door long before now.

In his seventh season at UK, Curry has compiled
a record of23-51.

“In my three years here, I’ve seen them win four
times and I’ve been to all the home games,” said
communications junior Colleen Burke. “At that
point, something has to be done.”

It remains to be seen who the successor to Curry
will be, but there are those who believe that it won’t
matter.

Jeremy Hyatt, a biology senior does not think
there will be any marked improvement.

is vorce raises in
excitement when
discussing the stu-
dents, the atmo-
sphere and the
opportunities at

e common-
wealth’s benchmark university.

Such excitement is foreign to
some students, whose only
impression of the 10th UK presi-
dent is a signature at the end of a
scholarship letter.

Yet detached as he ma seem,

Wethington said he won dn’t be
here if it weren’t for the students,
whom he calls the “heart and
soul” of the campus.
" yone who hap ned to be
in this ition and didn’t like to
work with students it would be
such a shame,” he said.

Charles Turner Wethin n Jr.

some capacity since the ’60s, when

he was studyin for his master’s

“It clearly signifies, more than any

Juanita Fleming, 5 ecial assis-

Wethington for five years.

She characterizes her boss as a

E-mail message shocks
UK Computing Services
with child pornography

By Kathy flailing
Assistant New: Editor

If students haven’t checked their electronic
mail account lately, they may find some unwant-
ed mail from an unknown sender.

Jack L. Coffman, security and contingency
planning officer of UK Computing Services, said
about eight or nine UK e-mail account users
have received unsolicited mail from an America
Online user which contained a reference to child
porno phy.

Co fman said he could not disclose the con-
tents of the messa es except to say they referred
to child pornograpliy.

He said the messages offended and scared the
recipients because of their opening content,
which claimed the users’ addresses were on a
mailing list.

“It states, ‘I sent you this letter because your
e-mail address was on a list for this type of
thin ,"' Coffman said.

Cgoffman said the statement is false because
the addresses were not part of any list. He said he
does not know how the addresses were chosen or
obtained, but they would not be difficult for any-
one to access.

No more of the messages will be sent by the

down the account after UK reported the matter
to than, Cofl'man said.

and the FBI to attempt to track down the

FRANKFORT -— President Clinton and Vice

Arena this weekend after all.

Clinton’s state campaign spokesman, Ernie
Gibble, said the Democratic ticket will likely
make another ap earance in Kentucky before
Nov. 5, but he coulii not say when.

Gibble said the rally, originally scheduled for
Sunday at Rupp, was canceled because of schedul-

WUKY lsarla list of AP award winners

UK’s public radio station received 12 Associat-
ed Press Broadcast Awards —-—- more than any
other station yesterda at the Kentucky Broad-
casters Association’s fal meeting.

VVUKY-FM (92.1) assistant news director
Brian Wright attributed the good showing to a
concentrated effort over the last few years to make
news coverage a priority.

“There have been major changes at the station.
Number one, the school of journalism has
increased connections to the station now, so we
have broadcast majors working in our news
department,” Wright said.

One of those students, Suzanne Hartlage,
received first place for use of sound in a piece on
the Red Mile and second place for best reporter.
She and others at WUKY competed against pub-
lie and commercial stations in the state’s largest
markets: Louisville, Lexington and Northern
Kentucky.

“This is a case of a student competing with pro-
fessionals. She proved she is competitive with
them,” Wright said.

Personally, I knew the decision
was inevitable, and I support it. I
just wish that Newton would have
waited until after the game in
Knoxville to make it.

There is no way possible to
make a case for him to be wander-
ing the sidelines as the UK head
coach next season, but there’s no
reason either for people to hate
the man the way some UK fans
do.

nstead, they seemed somewhat
disappointed he was leaving,

of them.

Defensive tackle Chris Ward
seemed to be among the most dis-

“The record oesn’t show how

Comments by 6M. Newton and Bill Curr

“The reason
} we’re making this
move is obvious
in that our foot-
ball program has
not made the
progress, from a
competitive
standpoint, that it
needed to make.
We have studied and evaluated
the football program, looking for
reasons it has not worked. Every-
one associated with the program
—— the coaching staff, the support
staff and the administrative staff
-— has worked hard to build this
program. The fact is, it has not
progressed.”

About Bill Cur :

“I recruited Bill Curry to be
the Kentucky football coach. For
seven years, I have watched him
put his heart and soul into the
project and try to build the model
program that we want at Ken-
tucky. Before he came to Ken-
tucky, I admired and respected

Bill Curry from a distance. After
working with him for these seven
years, I truly admire and respect

im and all the things he stands
for. But football must succeed at
Kentucky. It is one of two rev-
enue-producing sports that sup-
ports the 22 athletics programs

Timing of the announcement:

“I wanted to end s eculation
about, and any discor related to
our football coaching situation.
And I also wanted to be 'n the
process of hiring a new ootball

Goals for the rest of the sea-
son:

“Coach Curry told the team
after its LSU loss that its goal ofa
winning season and a potential
bowl game are no longer possi-
ble. But their challen e is to fin-
ish the season with ignity and

coaches will give 110 percent to
see that this is accomplished. I
am asking all of us do the same.”

ne reason Hyatt thinks the

football team “sucks,” is because
of basketball. It’s a fact that has»
ketball is looked upon as the to

may never change.

New Releases in the Music World

Universal Records Unfortunately, she only recorded two such
with songs on the album.

“Reasons Why” is reminiscent of the Car-

such a way that you are automatically made to
think of a hap y, sprin -like scene complete
with bright yel ow sunflg wers, chirping birds,
and a cool breeze.

Bainbrid e also does an acoustic version of
The Pet S op Boys’ “Being Borin ." While
it is one of the more subtle trac on the
CD, I find myself drawn to it more than I
do others.

Corrosion of Conforrnity’s latest
CD, Wiseblood, is a pleasant surprise
for those who a proach a cup
with a name like orrosion 0 Con-
formity with a little apprehension.

With the exce tion of the ninth track, “Man
or Ash,” which I found to be nothing more
than an annoyin , five—minute tangle of
screams and sense essly repeated phrases, I
found Wisebloodfio be a pretty respectable
album.

Fans of hard, guitar-saturated music will
appreciate the heavily electric-laden sound
paesent throughout the album, especially in the

al Hack, “Bottom Feeder.” The nearly eight-
minute long, completely instrumental song is a
good mix of fluctuating guitar riffs and an
occasional drum solo popping up here or there,
which combine for an interesting and enter-
tainin son .

Al ough the album could have done with—
out tracks like “Man or Ash” that rely heavily
on the screaming abilities of lead singer Simon
Bob, the band makes up for it with clever songs
like “Goodbye Windows,” resenting a some-
what slower, more intelli 'b e side of the band.

“Drowning in a DaydT'leam” is another plus
for the band, with more of a funky twist that
causes it to stand out from the rest of the
tracks.

Overall, the band sounds really good play—
ing together on this album.

The band was apparently quite conscious of
changing rhythms, and they were quite suc-
cessful in avoiding a sin le, overriding beat, a

roblem that plagues al too many hard rock
ands. .

Although the lyrics are far from being
exce tional works of literature, they are tolera-
ble. esides, Simon Bob has a powerful, deep
voice and his vocals come through nicely on
the tracks on which he’s not smining his voice
too much by screaming. This talent effectively
conceals most of the lyrical downfalls.

On the whole, the CD is a respectable one.
It is obvious that the band has matured and the
members are playin together well. W'isehlood
is a decent musical e ort and one that any Cor-
rosion fan should check out, but one that only
hard rock or metal fans should invest in if they

have not been previously introduced to the
band.
