Kentucky's largest private foun-

being used to initiate a $13 million
building campaign for new clinical,
research and educational facilities.

At 11 am. the Jazz
Cats will be perform-
ing at the Student
Center Patio. This
event runs until 1

Through a philosophy of social
and economic responsibility, the
Brown Foundation has focused
much of its resources on programs
for the elderly. That basic charge is
shared by the Center on Aging. Sta—
tistics show that the fastest growing
segment of America’s population is
men and women over age 85. Be-
cause of this, the issue of aging
takes on an urgency of the highest
level.

“The vision and generosity of the
James Graham Brown Foundation
Tmstees will help us reach our goal
of becoming the nation’s finest Cen-
ter on Aging," said UK President
Charles Wethington.

The $13 million capital campaign
is a three-year effort to expand and
centralize programs on aging that
are now located across the Universi-
ty and in rented space off campus.

“The University has made a com-
mitment to this project," said Peter
Bosomwonh, chancellor for the Al-

cited but not named by the newspa-
per.

The money — lets than that
sought last month by Democrats on
the Senate and House Budget com-
mittees — would be used mainly
for grants to encourage states and
localities to u'y new teaching meth-
ods.

Bush has approved a ZOO-page
version of the plan. but it was still
being worked on over the weekend,
the newspaper reponed.

Charles Kolb, a domestic policy
adviser to Bush. confurned for The

Associated Press late Saturday tint
the president will make an an-
nouncement this week conceming
an education initiative. However,
Kolb would not comment on the de-
tails.

One official involved in drafting
the plan told the newspaper that the
grants for “a new generation of
American schools” probably w0uld
draw the most attention.

‘ He predicted development of sev-
eral hundred schools run in a differ-
ent manner from most of today's
public schools. Some of them might

be run by private industry and may
have longer school days or years.
among other approaches Another
section of the four-part plan con-
cerns “better and more accountable
schools," which focuses on improv-
ing existing schools.

The major emphasis is likely to
be on testing, one administration of -
ficial said, and would involve de—
velopment of a system of tests in
English, mathematics, science, his-
tory and geography.

Those scores might be used as a
basis for allocating education funds,

with schools that improved getting
more aid, said the official. who
called this “deregulating educa-
tion."

Another way to improve the exist-
ing schools would be financial in-
centives for school systems to allow
parents to pick which school their
children attend, thus encouraging
“freedom of choice.”

A third section, called “back to
school," concerns adult education
programs that range from literacy

HE’S ‘PLUGGED INTO THE UNIVERSITY’

 

 

 

 

By TIM WIESENHAHN
Senior Staff Writer

At noon each day, plunge down
the scant stairwell etched behind
the main desk of the Margaret 1.
King Library, pry open the cum-
bersome door concealing the li-
brary deli and listen. Listen for the
voice of an applause junkie look-
ing to nish the nearest sorority.

Say you have never heard such
a voice? The rush committees of
UK’s 17 sororities probably
haven't either. But patrons of the
deli have heard the voice, and
they know it well. The voice is
marketing senior Braxton Cren-
shaw.

“I'm running for governor —
free everything," Crenshaw
boasts. “Until I get elected, then,
then you got to pay."

Amongst a single aisle of tables
relegated to the deli‘s smoking
section, Crenshaw muses over an
open economics book. Beneath it

 

lies a finance text and film note-
book. Crenshaw‘s tortoiseshell
eyeglasses magnify a pair of glis-
tening brown eyes immersed in
study. He is an astute man.

But his peach and grey Quick-
silver cotton sweatshirt —- cou-
pled with a pair of Levi‘s jeans
and Reebok tennis shoes —— also
reveals a man who is attuned to
fashion. The dapper wardrobe
drapes a 6-foot-1 frame crafted by
a daily hour walk.

Bouncing from table to table.
throughout smoking and non-
smoking, Crenshaw speaks with
young students, older suidents,
American students and exchange
suidents —— winning their uust
with his broad smile and familiar
infiexion. The deli is his haunt.
but Crenshaw haunts no one.

Studying in the deli, however. is
becoming difficult. Crenshaw
knows too many students. And as-
sembled at a table placed in the
shadows of vending machines are

UK STUDENT BRAXTON CRENSHAW: “l'm not really that smart. I just work real, real hard at it I've told several of my fellow
non- traditional students that we‘re lucky. Because a lot of people don‘t get a chance to go back to school.”

a trio of his friends from the film
class.

Crenshaw unleashes his big
smile and savored voice. greeting
them with his familiar “all right.
my man" as he joins the puzzled
table. The trio welcomes him with
cheers of “pull up a chair Braxt-
man" and “hey, Braxt baby" be-
cause they know he aced their last
film exam.

But Crenshaw, who was invited
to become a member of Beta Kap-
pa Sigma. an honorary academic
fraternity of the College of Busi-
ness & Economics this semester,
won‘t accept their praise. He
needs help with his economics.

"I'll tell you, even though I'm
doing pretty good in school, i
don't attach a whole lot of signifi-
cance to how good I‘m doing ~
because that‘s about the main
thing that I do," Crenshaw said. “1

Delts thank retiring cook for help, ‘Edna burgers’

By DERBY NEWMAN
Staff Writer

A surprise party was the last thing
Edna Hawkins expected Thursday
night when she picked up daughter
Judy from work at the Delta Tau
Delta social fratemity house.

But surprised she was when the
members of the fraternity honored
her with a reception in appreciation
for her 17 years of service as their
cook. Hawkins is retiring in May.

Tears came to Hawkins' eyes
when she walked into the living
room and saw the fraternity mem-
bers and the cake decorated with
the fraternity colors with her name,
and her years of service.

"I feel like queen for a day.“ she
said.

Hawkins, who prefers to be
called “Edna" at the house, was de-
scribed as sort of a pau'iarch by
Dell alumnus Mike Kovaleski of
Louisville.

“Edna really kept things together
here,” he said.

Kovaleski was referring to the
times when the fraternity did not
have a house mother. Then, Haw-
kins stood in. and watched over the
members.

Keith Byers, an alumnus and
firstoyear law student at UK, said
Edna has been one of the authority
figures the members look up to.

Drew McLellan, president of the
fraternity. agreed, saying Hawkins

has given him and other chapter
presidents many words of wisdom.

“I love her to death. She knows
what the guys are thinking. and that
helps me. I am going to miss her."
McLellan said.

Nancy Follis. a first-year house-
mother for the Delts, wrote Haw-
kins a poem and read it to her at the
reception.

Hawkins said she witnessed
many changes in the fraternity over
the last two decades.

INSIDE: SITCOMS GET NO RESPECT FROM LOCAL TV

“I‘ve seen the enrollment change
in the fraternity. It‘s gone down
since the new alcohol policy started
a few years ago." she said.

Brent Ginter, a senior who
worked with Hawkins. described
her as ”the sweetest lady in the
world." He said Hawkins was a bit
old-fmhioncd -- he liked every-
thing and everyone to be prompt for
her meals.

Red rain,
go away

“How was the game?” was
the first question out of Nick’s
mouth. I responded with an
expletive. “There wasn’t one,"
Icontinued.

Then the painful memory of
a wasted evening made a re-
turn visit.

There is nothing more frus-
trating in the world of spons
like the words Rain Delay. In
my case, I was in Cincinnati
with Brad Wills, colleague
from the newspaper, Friday
night, eager to see the World
Champion Reds flood the At-
lanta Braves at Riverfront Sta-
dium.

The only thing that would
flood that night, however, was
northbound 1-75. Rain was
our constant companion, and I
knew somehow that our free
tickets in the blue section
along the first-base side would
go unused.

I still kept my fingers
crossed. Passing Dry Ridge,
Brad and I prayed for an opti-
mistic outcome. Maybe
it's not raining in Cincinnati,"
was a comment heard every
five minutes.

Well, we crossed the bridge.
It was still raining. Not as
hard. mind you, but consis-
tently. Brad put the car in park
after plunking down $3.50
and found a spot near the end
of the lot.

We hopped out of the car
and walked towards the stadi-
um, our umbrellas folded at
our sides, but ready to see
some action.

After finding our section,
first priority was given to lo-
cating the nearest concession
stand.

Two Hudy delights, please.
One Brat, one Kahn's Super
Dog. And about a four-foot
space of wall to sit next to and
eat.

But no Reds game.

Instead of letting up, the
rainfall just got steadier. And
harder.

Soon it was game time. A
7:35 pm. start I looked out at
the field.

No players. No managers.
No ballboys. No mascot. No
Dave — er, David — Justice.
No Deion Sanders.

Plenty of green tarp, howev-
er, covered the infield. Did I
just see a duck swim by?

Eight p.m. Nothing. My
food is digested. My appetite
for the game is growing. I
check the stadium lights.
Rain. Rain. Rain.

Brad and I walked to the
edge of the seats, still under
cover. We are watching the
television monitor. For the
next 40 minutes. we will
watch highlights from the sea-
son before, the year of the
World Championship, on the
monitor.

We watch Lou Piniella put
on his Reds' cap for the first
time at a press conference. We
watch Cincy win its first nine
games, increase its lead to
11.5. We watch five Reds
make it to the National
League All-Star team. Ann-
strong. Dibble. Myers. Sabo.
Larkin. I take a quick glance
out at the field. Nada.

Brad and I decide we are
hungry again. We head for the
Nacho line and procede to de-
vour one trayfull each, dip-
ping each chip into the cheese
sauce meticulously, then shov-
ing the tasty item into our
mouths before causing any
spills.

Back to the TV. There it is.
The clinch.

The wire-to-wire win. Bring
on the Pirates. Eric Davis
makes a great throw to save
Game 5.

Reds beat Pittsburgh.

Bring on Oakland. Bring
out the brooms. Cincy wins it.
Video over.

Stakes shake up Derby outlook

Aosoelatod Prue

Looking for a Kentucky Derby
favorite?

Until the Blue Grass Stakes, you
needed to go no further than Fly So
Free. Now you can look right past
him.

Sent off the 1-5 favorite in his fi-
nal prep for the Derby, Fly So Free
came up short Saturday, beaten
three lengths by Strike the Gold in
the $400,800 Blue Grass at Keene-
land.

The loss scrambled the Derby
form chart and shifted attention to
other candidates like the undefeated
filly, Meadow Star, who runs
against the colts for the first time in
Saturday’s Wood Memorial at
Aqueduct. That field also will in-
clude Gotham winner Kyle’s Our
Man.

Then there’s Dinard, winner of
the Santa Anita Derby, and Hansel,
winner of the Jim Beam, who goes
again in the Lexington next week.

Also possibly in the May 4 Derby
mix now are Green Alligator, win-
ner of Saturday's $300,000 Califor—
nia Derby at Golden Gate Fields,
and perhaps even lightly-raced
Tank, who took the $150,000 Gar—
den State Stakes impressively at
Garden State Park.

For Strike the Gold, the Blue
Grass was sweet revenge for his
one-length loss to Fly So Free in
last month’s Florida Derby. That
was the fifth straight stakes win for
last year’s 2-year-old champion on
the road to Churchill Downs.

“I know my horse and my horse

A tight pack begins Saturday's Blue Grass Stakes, as Fly 80 Free (with white bridle) and the masked

is getting better,” said Nick Zito,
trainer of Strike the Gold. “I said all
week, if he waited for my horse.
he‘d be in trouble.”

Fly So Free wasn't exactly stand-
ing around. He stayed with paceset-
ter Nowork All Play throughout the
race, a decision trainer Scotty

Schulhofer second guessed himself
about later.

“There wasn’t enough speed in it
to get him to relax," he said. “You
can choke a horse just so long, and
then they say the hell with it.”

Strike the Gold charged past Fly
So Free at the head of the stretch

 

 

 

and won comfortably in 1:48 2-5
for the 1 1/8 miles.

He paid $7.80. $2.20 and $2.40
for his second victory in seven ca—
reer starts. Fly So Free retumed
$2.10 and $2.10 with Nowork All
Play $2.40 to show.

The race was not without contro-
versy. Chris Antley, who rode
Strike the Gold, also rides Meadow
Star.

Zito and owner B. Giles Brophy
want a Derby commitment from the
jockey before the Wood but Antley
wants to wait.

At the Califomia Derby, Green
Alligator overtook Slew the Sur-
geon in the stretch to score. a head
victory as Split Run, the 8-5 favor-
ite. finished next to last.

The time was 1:47 4-5 for the 1 1/
is miles. The Winner paid 811.5520
and SJ

Irainer Murray Johnson said the
win did not guarantee a start in the
Kentucky Derby. “We’re on our
way to Kentucky with the stable so
we can‘t count out the Kentucky
Derby." he said.

“But the Belmont is our next ma-
jor goal. I‘d like to run once before
the Belmont. and the Derby could
be that once."

‘Quantum’ leap leaves Curry smiling

By BARRY REEVES
Assistant Sports Editor

This time last week, UK football
coach Bill Curry was not a happy
man.

His team had just finished the
first week of spring practice and
things did not look bright.

But the Cats just may have
turned the comer on Saturday dur-
ing the second scrimmage of the
spring.

UK turned in what Curry called
“an outstanding scrimmage."

“This was a quantum improve-
ment over last Saturday," Curry
said after the 120-play scrimm
