Finance

department

criticized

Flt-\NKFUR'I‘ — The state finance
department was criticized Monday for the
manner in which the 1974-76 biennial
executive budget was presented and the
freedom the department will have on the
appropriated funds.

The appropriations and revenue com—
mittees of both houses of the state
legislature, appearing at the first of many
open hearings on the budget. claimed that
not enough information is being provided
in order to make accurate deciSions on
appropriations for the biennial budget.

Under the new method of presenting the
budget. individual programs were omitted
and included in the total allocated to the
larger area. This meant that, for example,
legislators were not told how much would
go for specific health care programs, but
how much was being suggested for the
overall health services category.

WHEN FlUl'RING the overall health
services budget. estimated funds needed
for the upcoming two years by each of the
sub-programs were included, but were
omitted from the budget report to the
legislature.

“The sub-programs relate pretty well
to the services being offered and the speci-

estimates and all object costs in detail
have been omitted." Rep. Vic Hellard fl)~
\'ersaille5i said,

"When we allocate funds for the broad
area of health. it must go in that general
program area. but the commissioner of
finance doesn‘t have to follow that for sub-
programs." he said

MOST UP the legislators agreed that
some method of limitation should be
developed where the finance department
would have to follow the exact ap~
propriation for sub-programs. rather than
having the freedom of shifting funds,

A Legislative Research (‘ommission
il.f{(‘I member pointed out that one ad-
vantage of giving the commissioner the
freedom to shift funds is that relief would
be available in the event a certain
program was underestimated in the
budget planning

"They are making a good faith com»
iiiitting program detail. but there will
probably be a few instances where funds
are shifted," the commission member
said.

Is The War really over?

I'S. personnel involvement in the Southeast Asia
war ended a year ago with many Americans yielding
no more than a sigh of relief for the returning troops.
Henry Kissinger stood waving a piece of paper in
Paris. indicating peace had finally arrived. Few
people. though. were foolish enough to think the war
would actually grind to a halt.

History told a different story. which now haunts us
monetarily. if not physically. France signed an
agreement in 1954; on that occasion. the South
Vietnamese government balked at peace proposals.
and caused the war to continue with US. aid. 0b-
servers are now predicting a third Vietnamese war.
this time with native troops and US. aid.

Although Kissinger completed his mission with the
signing of the Paris agreement, Washington has
failed on its end of the bargain by letting the Saigon
government continue its civil war. The reasons are
numerous: surely the Watergate affair. which has

wrapped many

Americans in

its shroud. is a

problem that has kept the population from noticing
increased aid to Saigon. Our aid (more than $1 billion
in new machinery) has allowed the fighting to con-

tinue.

The Pentagon. while many Americans are suffering
from an energy crunch. has an unlimited supply of
fuel. It feeds a government so corrupt it no longer
denies bombing regions of the North. and refuses to
allow elections to its people. Thousands are locked in
prisons. made from American materials. for little or

‘ no reason. Calling Thieu president of the country is a
formal lie. He's accepted in government circles, but
privately denoted as a complete dictator.

America

must convince Washington

it wants

nothing more to do with this war. We need to begin
once again our pleas for total disengagement;
otherwise. there may come a day when more
American troops will be sacrificed for a cause which

in no way will benefit us.

A reserve book surprise

Recently. I was aSSigned a
book which wasn't available at
any one of the three campus
bookstores but was on reserve at
the King Library. Being out of
school since the spring of '73. I
was unaware of the frustration
that I was about to experience.

L'pon mv arrival at the library.
I was informed that the reserve
room had been relocated to the
periodical room. a room which I
recall as being more of an in-
between-classes lounge area than
a study room. As I was about to
sign out the book. I was informed
that the book was on restricted
reserve and therefore not
permitted outside of the room.

an advocator of peaceful c0-
existence. I proceeded to have a
seat instead of “duking it out“
with the clerk for permission to
take the book to a place more
suitable to study.

around in search of a specific

of the reserve book system.

continue to live in the White
House and function as our
equivalent of the King of
England.

To recruit this black-shirt
army the plotters needed a well-
known. forceful military figure,
preferably one who had some
experience at political gang
bang. They chose Marine Major
General Smedley Darlington
Butler. a two-time winner of the
(‘ongressional Medal of Honor
and the most popular soldier of
his era. In those days. the
Marines did many of the jobs the
(.‘IA does now. so in the course of
his career. General Butler had
learned to stuff ballot boxes. rig
elections and promulgate
specious constitutions in places
like Nicaragua and Haiti. (For
more. see "The Plot to Seize the
White House“ by Jules Archer.
Hawthorn Books, 1973).

What the plotters failed to
appreciate was that over the
years the general had come to
detest playing politics with
machine guns.

”I SPENT 33 years being a
high-class muscle man of Big
Business.“ the general said in his
most memorable quote. “I was a
racketeer for capitalism. I helped
purify Nicaragua for the in-
ternational banking house of
Brown Brothers in 1909. I helped
make Mexico safe for American
oil interests in 1916. I brought
light to the Dominican Republic
for American sugar interests. I
helped make Haiti and Cuba a
decent place for the National City
Bank boys to collect revenue in.

()lii Gimlet Eye. as his men
called Butler. destroyed the plot
by making it public. The con-
spirators slipped back into their
Manhattan offices and hid under
the desks. Nobody was indicted.
nobody jailed, and the principals
were gentlemanly enough not to
pin the rap on their office boys or
secretaries.

Wall to wall bottles
and cans defeat the

wildflower menace

By JOHN MacGREGOR
Let‘s all write to our state senators and representatives and get
them to defeat the proposed ban of non-returnable beverage con»
tainers here in Kentucky. Without discarded cans and bottles along
our roadsides, those nasty and dangerous wildflowers will grow
over our highways and ensnare our pickup truck tires with their

wild tangles of roots and blossoms

lfthe roads are cleared of litter. tourists will come to the state in
such numbers that they will buy upall ofour gas and oil and leave
none for us. We must protect Kentucky‘s streams and economy
also. for if there are no broken bottles and rusted cans to deter
fishermen, these warriors in waders will soon catch every last one
of our fish and soon all of our mink will starve. thus putting trap-

pers out of business.

People come from miles around to discard their trash at the
unofficial roadside dump down the road from my house in
Nicholasville. They surely must derive great pleasure from this, as
the dump is growing larger by leaps and bounds. To deprive folks of
the right to discard trash (by depriving them of the trash to
discard) is unfair. We must retain the Right to Litter!

One final word-the children of today have little trouble finding a
suitable can to kick when walking along the streets after school. If
the ban on disposable containers becomes law, young Kentuckians
everywhere will soon find it difficult to play “kick the can". What a
dark day it will be for Kentucky if this bill receives support and
our children are deprived of this exercise and recreation.

Write your legislators today.

U.S. responsibility in Viet Nam not over

By JILL RAYMOND

While last year‘s Paris Agreement
provided and still provides the basis for
peace. casualty rates in Vietnam and
Cambodia for 1973 (third highest for any
one year Since 1954) show that until the
Agreement is truly implemented. the war.
and US. responsibility for it. have not
ended. Three recent developments em-
phasize the importance and urgency of the
campaign to honor the agreement:

I. South Vietnam‘s President Thieu has
ended any pretense of respect for the
Agreement by barring free general
electionsl Washington Post. 12-30'73)
and by ordering air and ground attacks on
areas governed by the Provisional
Revolutionary Government. llis
declaration that “the war has restarted"
seems designed to provoke a military
response from the other side.

3, ltigh Nixon Administration officials
are proposing an emergency arms ap-
propriation of $400 million to St billion for
South Vietnam. This would be added to the
SI 3 billion in aid already appropriated for
fiscal year 1974 and would constitute un-
mistakable political and material support

for Thieu's increasing belligerence. (New
York Times l-5—74)

3. Secretary of Defense Schlesinger has
renewed threats to seek a Congressional
reversal of its August 15th bombing ban.
The deteriorating military situation for
Lon Nol‘s coup d'etat government despite
$350 million in ES military aid pledged
for 1974 will increase the pressure to bring
back American bombers. (Philadelphia

AS .\I\IERI(‘AI\'S. there is no objective
way for us to determine responsibility for

others of you But I can not imagine that

news of the Vietnamese struggle felt

was finally signed. Apparently what many
of us were seeking. then. was not an end to
the war or American involvement in
\‘ietnam's political affairs. but simply an
opportunity to end our own concern and
activity over the matter. For the fact. the
only change in the battle for a unified
Vietnam is that American bodies are
absent: not only have the soldiers come
home (for the most part). but those who
were in the streetsand at their typewriters
for so long in this country have gone home
too. Yet. theoff-shore oil. the tungsten. and
the other natural resources which brought
us to Vietnam in the first place have
definitely not gone away. And as long as
they remain there. American business

Dormitories hard hit by thievery

Dormitories on campus have

thievery Although books and
bicycles are often stolen on

Dormitory theft is partly due to
"negligence in people." said Joe

students keep large amounts of
money or valuable items locked
in their rooms.

"\\’II.\'I‘ \H: are really asking

months. "each and every time a

Since a voluntary cross-

bicycles last fall. the rash of
disappearing bicycles has
decreased. With the cross-
reference file a student may
submit a description of a bike, its
serial number and other idea
tificatory material. When stolen
bikes are reported or found, the
police refer to the files.

STATISTICS indicate in the
past three months four reports of
thievery in Patterson (mostly
books), no reports from

two reports from Donovan Hall.

It is rarely found that the items

Conflict of interest bill

introduced by HOpkins

By HUN MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer

FRANKFURT —— State Rep.
Larry Hopkins (R—Lexingtont
introduced a bill into the state
house of representatives Monday
designed to end the “possible
conflict of interest or impropriety
involved in the deposit of state
funds.“

Hopkins said the bill hits “hard
at those in government who
would use their official positions
illegali) for personal profit and
lessen the people‘s trust in their
government ”

The bill. HB346, would prohibit
the deposit of state funds in any
bank in which the state com-
missioner of finance or state
treasurer have “any pecuniary
or other financial interest.“

HOPKINS SAID he took the
action after recent reports
revealed Commissioner of
Finance Charles Pryor serves as
a director. shockholder and vice

president of the Farmer‘s State
Bank of Sturgis, which has on
deposit at four per cent interest,
$680,000 in state funds.

The representative asserted
Pryor's interest is in violation of
KR861.190 which states:

“Any public officer who shall
receive, directly or indirectly,
any interest, profits or

- perquisites arising from the use

or loan of public funds in his
hands, or to be raised through his
agency, shall be punished by
confinement in the penitentiary
for not less than one nor more
than five years.”

IN A LETTER to Hancock on
Monday, Hopkins requested an
opinion advising whether the
Kentucky Revised Statutes ap-
plied to officials who deposit
funds in which they hold interest.

“Frankly, 1 am concerned
about the lack of interest your
office has displayed in this
matter. According to published
reports you have been advised of

the facts bearing on the possible
violation of KRStil.190 since early
in 1973, but have failed to do more
than informally discuss“ the
case. Hopkins‘ letter stated.
Hopkins asserted in the letter
thefact Hancock ran on the same
ticket with Gov. Wendell Ford in
the 1971 general election should
not hinder him from rendering
prompt action to his request.
.\.\' EARLY decision was
requested by Hopkins in order
that the legislature could for-
mulate legislation to prevent
public officials from benefiting in
such a manner in the future.

Hopkins told the legislators he
brought the situation to Han-
cock's attention “not for the
purpose of prosecution, but for
clarification of legal details."

He added it is up to the attorney
generala nd the courts to decide if‘
a felony has been committed or
the Kentucky Constitution has
been violated.

Food cost increase probable
at Board of Trustees meeting

An across-the-board increase
in residence hall fees for the 1974-
75 school year is going to be
proposed to the Board of Trustees
when they meet at 2 pm. this
afternoon.

Larry Forgy, vice president for
business affairs, said Monday the
increase was decided upon after
students indicated they are op-
posed to an optional plan
proposed by the University.

“BUT" THE president and I
thought We ought to find student's
opinion on the matter and do their
wishes,” Forgy said.

The increases will amount to
12.1 per cent for the three-meal
plan. 9.7 per cent for the choice-
of-two plan (breakfast or lunch
and dinner) and 9.2 per cent for
the breakfast—dinner plan.

(‘ost for the. breakfastdinner
plan will increase $44 to $1,080,
the choice-of‘two plan will in—
crease by $45 to $1,121 and the
three-meal plan will increase $71
to $1,244.

ALSO ON the agenda for the
meeting is an $100,000 liability
insurance plan for ad-
ministrators. Forgy explained
the insurance is designed to

protect the “many people on
campus who must make ad-
ministrative decisions daily."
Under the protection plan, the
administrator will be protected
from personal liability for

decisions made for the Univer-
sity.

He said the cost of the policy
would total about $5,000 per year
and would average $2 per ad-
ministrator to be protected.
