Newton said investigation

He’s back for another year.

At high noon yesterday, UK
Athletics Director C. M. Newton
silenced the rumors circulatin
over the status of head footbafi
coach Bill Ctirry, saying Curry
would return to coach the Cats in
1996.

Newton said he catne to the
decision at about 6:30 Sunday
night after meeting with various
people in the football program,
including UK President Charles
Wethington.

with the negativity surrounding
the UK football program.

“Our players don’t live in a vac-
uum. We’re talking about l8, 1‘),
20—year-old youngsters,” Newton
said. “They hear what’s being said,
they associate with it in school.
The ne ativism of our student
body; t e faculty the last two
games, they no—show us.

“That’s a negative thing. That
goes into the mind—set of a young
person,” Newton said.

Despite going through a 1—10
season in 1994, Newton said he
believes the football program is on
track and he called 1994 a fluke.

coaching staff are thankful to have
another chance to finish what they

“(The coaching staff) is excited
to be continuing together," Curry
said. “I made a commitment to the
University of Kentucky. I signed a
contract and I intend to complete
that contract and get the job done.
I appreciate the opportunity to do
that and so does my staff.”

Newton said he had problems
in reaching his final decision.

“To me, it was the most diffi-
cult professional decision I’ve had
to make in light of all the circum—
stances surrounding it,” he said.
“When I got right down to the
decision itself, it was not that diffi-

to retain Curry.

ton said. “The thing that is really
of concern to me is that it has
taken this long to get to where we
are.”

Newton also denied the Cats’
heartbreaking loss to Tennessee
Saturday played a role in him
making the decision.

“No one game played a whole
lot in this,” Newton said, referring
to the 34—3] loss to the Volun-
teers, “anymore than the loss that
seems so upsetting to everybody at
Vanderbilt.”

Newton said he realizes the
decision to keep Curry as head
coach might not be the best move

in the eyes of the public.

“I don’t know how popular the
decision will be,” Newton said.
“That’s not an issue with me. It is
the right decision."

Newton said he thought
rebuilding UK football would be
a “five or six year rocess,” no
matter who coached t e team.

“Maybe you can go to a Geor-
gia or somewhere else where there
is a lot of tradition," Newton said,
“and in two or three years you

may be able to do it quicker."

One thing Newton said he
weighed heavily was the desirabili-
ty of going through the long
rebuilding process necessary when
a new coach arrives.

“Do you throw this away, now
that we really are on track, and
start over?” Newton said. “I think
that would be unfair to the players
and I really think it would be
unfair to the fans."

Curry said he was impressed by

the way Newton handled the spec-
ulation surroundin r the status of
his job as head coach.

“I feel like (3. AI. is a man of
honor,” Curry said, “that every
step of the way he's looked me in
the eye . Because of the circum—
stances surrounding this, there is
an aspect of (Newton’s) own repti—
tation that’s obviously involved. I
recognize that and that drives me
more (to complete the job)."

Newton denied that his friend—

ship with Curry affected his deci-
sion.

He also shot down the idea ht
disliked football, claiming ht
would not hate taken the jol
coaching basketball at Alabama i
he had felt that way.

Newton also credited everyone
associated with the football pro
gram for sticking it out througf
the tough times the program has
gone through the past couple 0‘
years.

MINER CHANCE In his sixth reason at UK, Bill Curry hasyet to compile a
winning record. Hi5 hertfinish was 6-6 in I 993.

Fans and season ticket holders divided on the decision to keep Curry

By Stephen Trimlile
Senior Staff Writer

Athletics Director C.M. New-
ton’s announcement yesterday that
Bill Curry would remain as head
football coach at
UK resulted in a
flurry of reaction
from people on the
Lexington Campus
and beyond.

Opinions on the
decision vary, but
fans want to see
the Cats succeed
on the field.

“UK football
fans are one of the
phenomenons in
this country,” said
Tommy Brush, :1
season ticket hold-
er and a UK tackle
in 1961.

“Close to
58,000 fans come
to Commonwealth Stadium to see
a team with little hope of winning.
We have more (attendance) than
Notre Dame.”

 

 

Newton

 

And it seems many of these
long-suffering fans are willing to
accept Newton’s decision to stick
with Curry for at least one more

car.

“I think probably after those last
two ball games (a win against
Cincinnati and a loss to Ten-
nessee), most people were willing
to give (Curry) 3

board members; and other persons Interested In our progam.

'In addition. I have studied the team at practices. games, meetings and in the offseason.

“A year ago at this time. we made some slgnificanl changes in our coaching stall and in our
program. These changes were made with the goal of immediately making us a competitive football
team. As I evaluate lhe program today, that goal was accomplished.

"I fully recognize that a 4-7 record Is not satisfactory and further recognize that Coach Cuny's
overall record at UK is not satisfactory. However. I have every expectation that our team will continue
to improve and accomplish winning seasons and be in contention for postseason bowl games.

"I am totally convinced that we have the staff. the recruiting philosophy and the total program in
place that give us the best chance to have a successful foolbal program at the University of
Kentucky.

“The key question in making this decision was: What is the best chance for the University of
Kentucky lo win in foodiall as soon as possible?

'In making this decision. I was faced with two choices. We could start over with a new staff.
which would eliminate some of the short-term negatives and criticisms aimed at our team. However.
starting over Is at best a five-year project. Making a change would disrupt the continuity we have
among our current players and playing schemes.

“The other choice would be to retain the current staff and build upon the positives that give us
the opportunity to win in 1996. I believe this Is the right choice. Therefore. we are announcing today
that Coach Curry and the entire Wildcats football staff will be retained.

“These were the factors that went into the decison:

VAIthougi Coach Curry made some past mistakes In his staff and his recruiting philosophy in
the building of the Kentucky program, these mistakes have been addressed and corrected.

VAlthougi we did not win as many games as any of us wanted. we obviously were
significantly better during the 1995 season, In addition to the four games that we won. our coaches
and players put themselves into contention to win five other games in spite of playing one of the
most difficult Division I-A schedules.

VThe 1995 team experienced an unusual number of injuries to key personnel during the
stretch am of the season. Players such as Supe, Hasklns, Smith. O'Ferral. Tucker, Davis, Hlles. Hall.
Curtis, Collins. and others. were not available at critical times.

VThe 1995 team never quit preparing or playing to win. Our staff and players gave 100
percent in practices and games.

VCoach Uzelac Installed a sound offensive scheme that can help us win in the SEC. In
addition. the opportunity for balanced running and passing in this offense will help us recrunt at the
offensive skill positions.

VCoach Archer rebuilt the defense and made it much better.

“As I look ahead to 1996. I see a number of positive factors that should continue to make us a
better football team:

VA majority of our starting players return.

VA number of young players appear ready to step up and contribute.

VA year of experience with our new offense should make us better offensively.

“Al the same time. I realize that there are some negatives that need to be addressed. We must
become a more consistent team. especially in the kicking game. and we need more depth in order to
be more successful in the SEC.

"I realize that there are some cnllclsms of me and I want to address those:

V‘Newfon doesn’t care about football.“ There an be no question about my commitment to

before at Kentucky. and my goal is for It to happen again."

give them enough.”

Fans only can hope Curry can
muster enough motivation in his
players next year, his seventh sea-
son at UK’s grid-iron helm.

Some fans see no hope.

“I really think he’s had the
opportunity,” said Dave Gash, an
offensive and defensive end for UK

Brush said UK had succeeded in
showing “drastic improvement”
this season in contrast to 1994.

Women's SOBBBI‘ now on the man

By Rob Herhsl
Staff Writer

The UK women’s soccer season began with a
loss and ended with a loss. But the middle is
what the team will remember most.

A 17-7 record, a Southeastern Conference
Tournament championship and its first ever
NCAA Tournament appearance made the 1995
campaign the most successful in the UK squad’s
brief history.

The Cats did not have a spectacular start to
the season. A season—opening loss to Indiana
plus a conference loss to Florida had some play-
ers concerned.

“I was quite surprised with it." junior mid-
fielder Amanda Vamer said. “I was uite wor—
ried. We knew we could win, but we‘l'iad lots of
trouble scoring.”

The turnaround to the season may have
taken place on a weekend trip to play James
Madison University and George \Vashington.
Both teams were ranked in the Top 25 at one
time during the season. Though the Cats came
back with a win and a loss. the team came
together off the field.

“The tri had a lot of bonding off the field,”
senior mid elder Diane Rajca said. “W'e were
getting things sorted out and reinstated our
goals.

The weekend series gave the Cats some
much needed momentum against their next
opponent, Vanderbilt.

In the preseason, the Commodores were a
unanimous pick to win the SEC and UK had
never defeated Vanderbilt in its four previous
attempts.

But this time the Cats went out and beat
Vand Z-I in overtime.

“ his is the biggest rival we have right now,”
head coach Warren Lipka said. “We were deter—
mined not to lose to them again.”

“For me, it was my biggest win,” Varner said.
“I hate them.”

A few weeks later, a possible disaster struck.

Ashley Miller, a junior and the only experi-

enced goalkeeper on the team, tore the anterior
cruciate ligament in her knee and was gone for
the season.

Freshman Carrie Kuhnell had to step in
immediately against nationally-ranked Wiscon—
sm.

“We were pretty concerned at the time,”
Lipka said. “For her first game she really did
well.”

Kuhnell lost her first game 2—1, but didn’t
miss a beat after that. She had nine shutouts, 3
goals against average of .5 l, and a 12—3 record in

the goal.

A few weeks after Wisconsin, the same Van-
derbilt Commodores wanted revenge in
Nashville.

Vandy got their reven e in a 1—0 win.

After the second Vanferbilt me, UK ended
the season with four straight s utout victories.
The Cats gave up only 11 shots during the four—
game stretch causing the UK players to give
credit to some unknown stars, the defense.

“The don’t get enough credit,” Rajca said.
“Our offiinse starts with our defense.”

“You can’t win without good defense,” Varn-
er said. “They deserve most of the credit for the
season.”

While UK had a strong regular season, most
thought they needed to win the SEC touma-
ment to receive an NCAA bid.

In the SEC tournament, Vanderbilt was
again the opponent in the semi-finals.

This time, an overtime goal by Varner gave
the Cats 3 1-0 victory.

But they still had to defeat Alabama to win
the tournament.

Was there anyway the Cats would lose to
Alabama?

“No way,” Varner said. “We had come that
far that there was no we to give that game up.”

The Cats defeated abama 2-1 and earned a
bid to the NCAA Tournament against a very
familiar opponent, Vanderbilt.

Game four against Vanderbilt ended with a
loss, but the players will remember the effort
given.

“I’ll never forget it,” Rajca said. “We left the
field with our heads up roud.” .
Everybody involved) with the program is
proud of the season.
“Our season resembled a ladder,” Rajca said.
“We climbed and climbed and made progress
on each step and made it a little below the
peak.”
“By far, this was the greatest season,” Vamer
said. “We accomplished so much, it’s hard to
put it into words.”
“As a player, I accomplished a lot,” Lipka
said. “It’s a better feeling seeing 24 players know
they’ve accomplished something.”

Students

to give lecture

By Mandy Cawood

(.‘orm‘lbmmg H'nrer

Want to put that COM 181
class to work?

The University is looking for
an undergraduate student to
deliver an annual lecture named
in honor of UK’s chairman of
the Board of Trustees.

An annual lecture began last
year in honor of former Gov.
Edward T. “Ned" Breathitt
offering $500 to any UK under-
graduate student.

Breathitt, chairman of the
University's Board of Trustees,
was honored because of his long
and deep interest in education.

The Breathitt Lecture will be
given b the undergraduate stu-
dent cliosen by a designated
committee.

The lecture involves having
the student give a lecture just as
a professor would.

Students may write about any
topic they choose concerning
humanities, one that “evaluates
our conditions as human
beings,” said Raymond Betts,
director of the Gaines Center
for the Humanities.

“The lecture is intended to
create a greater sense of intellec—
tual community,” Betts said.

Eric Meiners, a communica-
tion senior, was last year’s recipi-
ent and chose the topic of the

role ofcinema.

Betts said last year’s lecture
had an incredible turnout for its
first year, and he is positive
about the lecture's future.

“I don’t believe there is any-
thing like it anywhere in the
country," Betts said.

Any UK undergraduate stu—
dent may apply, or students may
be nominated by a UK faculty
member.

The application deadline is
Jan. 12, and the scholarship
recipient will be named Jan. 30.

Students applying must sub-
mit a two-page summary on
their chosen topic, a personal
resume and a letter of recom—
mendation.

In the hope of being pub~
lished, this year’s lecture will be
written, Betts said.

The recipient receives $500
and a crystal award trophy.

The lecture will be funded by
Breathitt’s employer, local law
firm Wyatt, Tarrant and Combs,
for the next three years. The stu-
dent will be chosen by a com-
mittee of three members.

The Breathitt Lecture will be
given March 20 in the small the-
ater of the Student Center and is
open to everyone.

A reception will follow the
lecture. An informational meet-
ing about the lecture will be held
on Nov. 29.

Lowe referred to the act as
“Service Learning.”

The “Thanksgiving: Help
Feed the Needy” isn’t just a one
time deal. On Dec. 8 the
NUBIAN Council also is hold—
ing a semi-formal dance in the
Baptist Student Center in the
name of the Alpha Kappa Alpha
sorority, which was suspended
from campus this fall.

The proceeds of the dance
will benefit those afflicted with
the sickle—cell anemia disease.
The NUBIAN Council also
plans to don the red suit of Santa
and help a young girl expecting
twrns.

“Our cause speeds noblely on
it’s way,” Lowe said.

Computer mailing lists
have plethora of options

By Aaron 0. Hall
Staff Writer

Most students are content with
sending one—line, trivial e-mail
messages to their friends, but for
those who desire more stimulating
discussion, UK offers listservs.

Listservs are simply mailing
lists where a group of people from
around the world communicate
on a particular topic via e—mail.
