Airport damage heavy

Crowds gather after win,

throw party in the streets

BY THOMAS CLARK
Assistant Managing Editor

James Lee‘s championship-
clinching. seasonending slam dunk
touched off a city-wide festival that
sent students into the streets to
celebrate UK‘s first NCAA cham-
pionship in 20 years.

University Police were at a loss to
control the pandemonium that
brought out over a thousand
students.

“The police stood by the various
large groups of people to maintain
some order.“ Director of Public
Safety Tom Padgett said. “It was
mostly a lot of harmless partying."

After the game. students spilled
out of the various dorms forming
large blocks that roamed the streets
venting their chants and handshakes
on anyone they happened to meet.

Damage was held to minimum
and only one arrest was made, said
Padgett. “A few light shades were
torn down out at the Complex," he
said. “and a few trees were
damaged. but we were able to limit
the damage."

Most of the abuse. said Padgett.
was to automobiles which. “had the
misfortune of driving through the
crowd."

The one arrest came when a
student jumped on top of a car and

pounded on it. causing “a lot of
damage." Padgett said.

The crowd grew throughout the
night. reaching a peak when the
various groups met at the corner of
Euclid and Woodland avenues.
Padgett estimated the crowd at that
time to be “about 2.500."

Padgett said the crowd “disap-
peared within five or 10 minutes at
about 3 am.“

From there. many of the
celebrants headed for Bluegrass
Field to welcome home the
conquering athletes. Jim Brough.
manager of the airport. estimated
the gathering at between 7.000 and
10,000 people.

“Ninety to 95 percent of the crowd
were just loud. happy and
celebrating. The other five percent
got caught up in the excitment of the
moment and began wrecking
things.“

The crowds. Brough said. ripped
telephones off the walls of the ter-
minal building. broke a display case
holding several historical
documents donated to the airport.
demolished a ledge built around
heating ducts near one of the car
rental counters, somehow put
footprints eight to 10 feet up the wall
and left behind a collection of

various bottles and cans that airport
employees literally had to shovel
out.

Outside the terminal. Brough said
car rental agencies reported the
crowd had broken a couple of wind-
shields and many cars had darts in
the hoods and roof.

“We have not tried to assess the
damage yet.” said Brough. adding
early estimates give a low figure of
$5.000 to $7.000 in damage, while
others range as high as $20,000 to
$30,000.

He said several people climbed the
fence surrounding the runways. but
were quickly caught by airport
security. Although commercial
traffic had ceased for the evening
before the crowds began arriving at
midnight. general aviation air-
craft » such as private planes—

were still using the field.

Brough said several arrests were
made by Metro Police. The exact
number of arrests was not available.

Area hospitals reported very few
casualties from the night’s
festivities. Emergency room at-
tendants at Good Samaritian and St.
Joseph‘s hospitals reported four to
six pe0ple were treated for minor
injuries at each facility. Spokesrnen
for University and Central Baptist
hospitals said they treated no one
connected with the celebration.

Center’s Vietnamese priest
works with others, blames US.

By MEL HOLBROOK
Kernel Reporter

A South Vietnamese priest who
fled his home country three years
ago is now a student at UK. Although
he said he likes his adopted home. he
believes a lack of American patience
is one of the main reasons for his
being here.

priest at the Newman (‘enter on

1975. Hoan left part of his family
behind. Recently he received word
that his parents. a brother and four

sisters are alive and living in
villages near Ho (‘hi Minh City
( formerly Saigon 1. although parents
and children are separated.

While in his twenties. Hoan was
ordained and worked in the Holy
Parish of central South Vietnam
while living in Rien Hoa. His efforts
in the parish became ineffective as
American forces withdrew from the
tountry in the early seventies.

swift American withdrawal in 1972.
“They didn't take enough time to
train the people to use the weapons
they left behind." he said.

”The American army had very
good helicopters and tanks. but we
didn‘t have time to adjst to using

these weapons.“ lloan said. “The
Americans should have trained and
prepared us before they left. but
they had too many soldiers."

But lloan believes America should
help countries in the same situation
as Vietnam. "but with advisers and

Budget insufficient
' for neo-natal

By RICHARD MCDONALD
Copy Editor

The final draft of a health planning
report. which suggests funds in-
cluded in the latest biennial budget
are insufficient to solve Eastern and
(‘entral Kentucky‘s infant care
problems, has been submitted to the
governing board of the Eastern
Kentucky Health Service Agency.

This draft is almost identical to
the preliminary version of the plan
which was submitted to the Win-
chester agency early last month
(Kernel. Feb. 20).

The most important changes deal
with the standards for hospitals
which offer care for sick infants.

For instance, the report revises
the standards for Level One
hospitals those which provide
regular obstetric and pediatric
services. but don't have intensive
care units for newborns.

The preliminary report said such
hospitals should handle at least 400
deliveries each year. It recom-
mended that hospitals falling below
this number should consolidate their
obstetric units with those in other
area hospitals.

The purpose of this recom-
mendation was to increase the
utilization of maternal hospital beds.
thereby reducing costs.

The standard is lowered to 250
deliveries per year in the final draft.
'l‘his revision came ab0ut after some
administrators of small rural
hospitals expressed concern that
patients would be reluctant or
unable to travel to an unfamiliar
institution.

Dr. Brad Gasciogne. a
representative of Frontier Nursing
Service in llyden. said. “Mothers
will continue to come to local
hospitals and deliver there whether
you cIOse your unit or not. They tend

not to recognize closed doors."

The final draft also contains some
adritions to the recommendations
for Level Two hospitals —- these
which pr0vide some degree of in-
tensive care for infants.

The original draft called for the
establishment of Level Two units in
hospitals in Corbin. Hazard.
l’ikeville. Morehead and Somerset.
Although the final draft says these
sites have the highest potential as
intermediate (Level TWO) units. it
gives three other alternatives for the
establishment of such units and calls
for as many as 10 such units.

In addition, the report says.
“There are at least six other units
which either have or are interested
in developing Level Two
capabilities."

These additions follow the large
number of complaints from
hospitals which desire Level Two
classification. Dr. Larry Scott. a
physician from Ephraim McDowell
Memorial Hospital in Danville.
voiced a typical complaint during a
Feb. 15 hearing about the report. He
said. ”Does this i not being classified
as Levd Two in the report) mean we
are goingto be limited . . . do we sell
our equipment we currently have?
Why do we not get the recognition
for what we are currently doing?”

Dr. Greg Cully. chairman of the
EKllSA plan development com-
mittee. said the report just makes
recommendations and does not
determine which hospitals will
ultimately be designated Level Two.

Those designations will come in
June. according to Karen Main. Pb.-
D.. EKllSA's plan develOpment
director. Main said in a telephone
interview that a group led by the
Kentucky Medical Association is
inspecting interested hospitals. The
.lunedesignations will be followed in
September by a list of hospitals

needs

recommended for Level
designation. she said.

Those sections of the report
dealing with the UK Medical Center
are virtually unchanged. They say
the maternity section of University
Hospital is overcrowded and should
undergo a $6 milli0n expansion.

The report also repeats the
recommendation that adjoining
counties pay UK for services the
hospital renders to indigent patients
from those counties.

No action has been ta ken on either
of these recommendations.

In addition. the revised report
rep rats the call for a change in state
Medicaid rules which would allow
patients to receive Medicaid
payments beyond 21 days. the
present limit. It is believed this
extension would decrease the loss
hospitals have to absorb from
patients who don’t have health in-
surance.

No joke,
school
is open

An off-hand remark made by
Athletic Director Cliff Hagan at last
night‘s pep rally prompted many
students to believe UK would not
hold classes today.

However. the remark is not true.
The t'niversity will hold classes
today as usual.

“I‘m sorry that the mix-up was
made.“ said Singletary. “That was
(‘liff llagan’s attempt to be funny. It
created a lot of unneccessary con-
fusion and I'm sorry that it hap-
pened.“

Till-I NEARLY 16 WEEK NATIONWIDE COAL
STRIKE c05t Kentucky‘s economy more than $316
million. the state Department of Commerce said
yesterday.

A Commerce Department analysis indicated that
Kentuckians lost more than $10 million in wages each
week of the United Mine Workers strike for a total of
about $155 million.

About 13.000 people in coal related occupations —
such as truck and rail transportation. mine repair and
construction and mine office work ~ were out of jobs
during the strike. in addition to more than 20.000
striking miners in the state. officials have estimated.

Also. the Commerce Department said. the strike
resulted in lost coal sales of about $161 million.

Commerce Commissioner Terry McBrayer said the
impact in tax revenues and lost retail sales will not be
known for several months. but he predicted that many
of the losses will be recovered as coal production in-
creases.

the Bluegrass state's thoroughbred horse breeding
season.

Agriculture Commissioner Thomas Harris said the
department has asked the Jockey Club of America to
drop its bar against reg‘stration of foals bred by ar-
tificial insemination.

Artificial insemination. which is allowed for other

- breeds of horses.is not sanctioned by the Jockey Club

in New York. which registers all thoroughbreds.

Harris said the decision to require artificial in-
semination of horses infected or suspected of having
contagious equine metritis it‘l-IM) was reached under
the threat of possible sanctions by the federal govern-
ment.

.If we are to contain the spread of CEM and to be

Till-2 SUPREME COURT. despite angry

judges virtually are immune from lawsuits by women
they have ordered sterilized — even when such orders
are mistakes.

Voting 53 in a major decision on judicial immunity.
the court said an Indiana judge who approved a
mother's request that her unsuspecting teen-aged
daughter be sterilized was not subject to damages.

Judges cannot be sued for damages unless they act in
“a clear absence of all jurisdiction." the court said in
adhering to a judicial immunity doctrine fashioned in
an 1871 Supreme Court decision.

Judges‘ mistakes even malicious mistakes — are
shielded by immunity. that doctrine says. so judges

It’s got to be the most difficult NCAA cham-
pionship of all to win. You must produce a
superior record over a grueling four-month
season, jrst to get a chance to compete. In the
tournament, you have to win five straight
games; one slip and that’s all.

Certainly the Wildcat’s basketball crown took
more effort than winning the football version,
where writers and coaches elect the winner after
the season with bloodless acclaim.

The 1977-78 UK team was a unit to be marveled
at. Under the direction of cool transfer Kyle
Macy, the Wildcats could feature brilliant
shooting, tenacious defense, and powerful

 

It’s especially nice to see UK’s seniors to go out
as champions. As freshmen, Givers, Lee, Robey
and Phillips were downgraded by critics. Many
fans found them lacking ever when compared to
other UK sqmds, like the Dan Issel-Mike Pratt-
Mike Casey team, or the Grevey-Flynn-Conner-
Guyette unit. But this year’s seniors stood up to
the pressure admirably, and proved to be one of
UK’s most successful classes ever.

nothing short of infectious. The Gulf
Coast area of South Forida is
nothing like the East Coast.

The East Coast is a quagmire of
bars, motels and public beaches,
where kids crowd the sands almost
towel-to-towel and drive their cars
rightdown to the water and crank up
the stereo tape players...Christ, how
horrible.

The Gulf Coast, on the other hand,
is more of a retirement-type area.
There are lots of condominium
developments and the like, and very
little of the kind of student-
perpetrated mania that goes on
across the peninsula. It is a quiet,
very beautiful area. The beaches
aren’t real crowded. The beach at
Marco is virtually deserted at times.

The accent here is on “calm." In
fact, I think there’s some sort of
government agency here that
removes the horns from the cars of
the residerts when they move in. I
haven’t heard one since I got here.

While the thousands upon
thousands of students who flood into
Daytona Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and
Miami undoubtedly raise hell and
get drunk and have a wild and crazy

time, I just don't think I could handle

it.

After all, Lexington is full of that
kind of crap all year. One goes to
Florida for the sun and the sea, to do
some relaxing, to break up the
monotony of what is undoubtedly the
most difficult period of the school
year for studeits.

I won’t deny that one of my
favorite pastimes is guzzling beer,

and it would be useless to try and tell
you that I haven’t been doing a lot of

that here. Perhaps regrettably,

“getting a buzz on" is a big part of

the leisure aspect of college life; it is
a big part of my relaxation routine.

But I just can’t understand
anyone’s taking a vacation from
college and drive 22 hours to try and
stuff himself into a smokey bar with
a thousand other yelling, stumbling
drunks —- and then tell himself he
was “getting away from it all.”

Give me this paradise anytime.

Marco is an utopian brainchild of
the Mackel brothers’ Deltona cor-
poration. A large sign at the en-
trance to the island (toll bridge: 20
cents) reads, “Marco Island. The
last waterfront community of its
kind.“ The owners have rigidly
controlled the building and
development on the island so that it
is, as they say, a perfect resort
community.

Sitting here in the sun on our
balcony last Saturday, looking off
toward Cuba and watching the tiny
silhouttes of the fishing boats on the
horizon, we listened to the sound on
the NBC broadcast of the Cats’ win
we Michigan State. St. Louis
seems like a world away, but by the
time you read this, I guess, most of
us will have been there and back,
with the NCAA trophy in tow.

That's still a couple of days away
though, so I'm not ever thinking
about it yet.

Right now, we‘ve got a bucket of
boiled shrimp and some Busch beer
to put away, and a sunset to watch.

For David O‘Neil, this is me again,
slipping back into beaver.

Blue bedlam descends on St. Louis

By CHARLES MAIN
Editorial Editor

it had been 20 years since
the Kentucky Wildcats had
won an NCAA championship.
in that year. when Adolph
Rupp's “Fiddlin Five“
brought the title back to
Lexington. the Cats were still
playing their home games in
Alumni Gym. and most of this
year's freshmen and
sophomores either had not
yet been born or were still
having their diapers changed.

St. Louis could remember
that last title. but they talked
about it among themselves as
though they were there.

In the same way they had
descended on every other
tournament city. the Wild-
cats‘ fans sWept into St. Louis
last weekend to cash in their
chips. They took control of all
the major pubs and
restaraunts and made their
presence known with their
blue-and—white clothing. blue-
and-white shakers and blue—
and-white v0eal cords.

Cats relieved of pressure

Continued from page 3

Those demands reached
their most strenuous
proportions when the Wild-
cats dropped a pair of
Southeastern Conference
contests to Alabama and
Louisiana State within a five-
game stretch.

Kentucky coach Joe Hall,
ob\i0usly realizing pressure
at its peak labeled his team
the “Folding Five’ in an
effort to awaken it for the
rugged SEC schedule ahead

Although there was not a
total transformation over-
night, the Wildcats rallied
with a shaky win at
Mississippi before three
crucial games at Rupp
Arena.

In order. Kentucky
defeated Tennessee 90- 77
Mississippi State 58—56 in the
most important game of the
conference season and
Alabama 97-84 in a revenge
win that nearly shattered the
rafters of Rupp Arena.

The UK players, who could
have become divided among
themselves and from Hall
instead recognized their

plightand rallied in a manner
that was characteristic of
their season. They gave Hall
a large portion of the credit
for engineering those pivotal
SEC wins.

This Kentucky team had
something that even last
year‘s squad, which Hall
constantly compared to this
year's, did not have. It had a
stronger sense of how close it
was to a danger point and was
resilient enough to battle
back.

They survived a rocky
midseason, a multitude of

doubts and the strange‘

neglect by non- Kentuckians
in St Louis. Observers in the
Gateway City to the West
were more obsessed with
L'K‘s “physical" play and
with its “lack of fun” in
pursuing its one last goal.

But don’t let anyone say it
wasn't fun. Maybe a lot of
hard work and uncertainty at
times, but mostly fun.

In later years, what will be
remembered is the long haul
that the team underwent,
leaving a special sense of
warmness for a very human
group of peOple.

Pressure’s off

Success follows a long, arduous road

By DAVID lllBBlTTS
Sports Editor

The memorably grand
accomplishment was not
really as simple as it may
have appeared and as it had
been predicted months in
advance.

Twice before the Kentucky
Wildcats‘ 94-88 win over
Duke clinching the NCAA
championship in St. Louis
\Ionday night they had fallen
short in a national cham-
pionship game after their last
title in 1958.

In 1966. Rupp’s Runts
carried the No. 1 ranking
through the conference
schedule and finished there in
the final regular season

Associated Press poll. After
edging three NCAA tour-
nament adversaries
(ironically, the wins ended
with an 83-79 semifinal win
over Duke), they fell victim
to the flu and Texas
Western‘s speed.

Then in 1975, Adolph Rupp‘s
last recruited class of Kevin
(irevey. Jimmy Dan Conner,
Mike Flynn and Bob Guyette
were beaten by the team with
the John Wooden final—game
mystique _ L'CLA — in UK
coach Joe Hall‘s first trip to
the Final Four.

The 20-year wait for a fifth
NCAA banner reached its
zenith this year when Sports
Illustrated and a long list of
other publications put

Kentucky at the top before
the season. More plaudits and
expectations followed from
rival coac
