Lexington. Kentucky

UK sports are a boon to heal economy

-By PAUL MANN
Staff Writer

Copyright 0 l978 The Kentucky Kernel

A desk clerk answers the phone.
which has been ringing off the wall all
day.

“Are there any rooms available for
next‘weekend?” asks the voice on the
other end.

“Nope. sorry." answers the clerk.
“Next weekend has been booked up
since last month.“ '

Must be another one of those
conventions reserving all the rooms.

right? Wrong. bigger than that. It‘s the »

weekend of a UK home football game.

Coal might be Kentucky‘s ace in the
hole. but nothing. with the possible
exception of Keeneland. seems to
bring, more people into Lexington
'than UK football. games. And more
people mean more money.

Ed Sturgeon. research manager for
the Lexington Chamber of
Commerce. said for each home game
played at Commonwealth Stadium.
visitors (people not from Fayette
County) spend about $740,000 in
Lexington. Excluding game tickets.
people spend most of their money on

food and lodging. Lodging'tallied V

363.200 of the average while the food
bill totaled $39 I .300.

“Lodging profits more than
anybody. really.“ Sturgeon said.
“Especially when Keeneland is in
session.” ,

(The records Sturgeon has
concerning the amount of money
spent during the weekend of a UK

home football games are from last
year Even though there was an
additional home game this year. the
figures from last year should be a
rather accurate forecast for this year.)

All hotels contacted agreed that
home football games have a great
impact on their business. Trish
Martin. public relation director at the
Lexington Hyatt Regency. said that to

“We really enjoy the home football
games ”she said. “We wish there were
more of them.”

The Penn State game was also the
busiest weekend at the Continental
Inn on New Circle Rd. Reservation
Manager Sue Parsons said three
busloads of Penn State fans came to
the motel that weekend. “70 of them
didn‘t even have tickets.“ Parsons said.

 

UK
Sports

Perhaps the greatest single
indicator of whether a college‘s
sports program has reached the
“big-time“ is the interest the local
business community shows in it.

By this definition. at least. UK‘s
athletic program is definitely big
time. The business community of

 

Lexington and the state have come
to‘look upon UK‘s two revenue
producing sports. basketball and
football. as important sources of
income.

Kernel staff writers Jay Fossett.
Paul Mann and Sait Tarhan have
taken a look at the relationship
between UK sports and local
businesses. Their findings are
presented in this two-part series.

 

 

compensate for large crowds expected
for home football games. more

employees are brought in to work at
the downtown hotelon the Fridays
and Saturdays of the game weekends.
The 366~room hotel also places extra
bars around the hotel for its customers
to take advantage of.

“Most of the people who stay with
us are around 40 years old.“ Martin
said. “And a lot of them are associated
with the coal mines in Eastern
Kentucky or they are from Louisville."

During the weekend of the Penn
State game. the Hyatt sponsored a
brunch and dinner for UK alumni
which Martin called very successful.

s“:-

“They were walking around the lobby
trying to buy some.“

Most ofthe people who stay in these
local hotels come back year after year.
Parson said she has about 75 people
reserve rooms in the 322-room motel
from one year to the next.

The Campbell House Inn. located
on Harrodsburg Road. also has a
number of repeat customers. but does
not accept standing reservations.-

Jerry Morris. sales and marketing
manager for the Campbell House said
his hotel does not take reservations a
year in advance because of the
confusion they can cause. If Morris
accepted such reservations he would
not hear from the customer for an

entire year and therefore wouldn‘t
know if the person remembers he has a
room reserved.

“If some person reserves a room a
year in advance and doesn‘t show. that
means someone who might really need

the room won‘t have access to it.“

Morris said.

The hotel representatives did agree
that a lot of their customers were UK
alumni. “They have to be alumni."
Parsons said. “They always have the
best tickets.“

Restaurants also share in the profits
UK football games bring to town. An
employee for Nellie Kelly‘s said the
restaurant‘s Tates Creek Road
location helped its business since it is
close to the football stadium.

Dewitt King. assistant manager at
Darryl‘s I89! on Nicholasville Road
said after the LSU-UK game. “For the
past three home games they‘ve been
knocking down the doors from noon
until midnight.” King said Keencland
also plays an imponant role in his
weekend business. “However. with
each home game there is an increase in
business with or without chneland."
he added.

Ralph Rhodus. part owner of
Columbia's. a Lexington-based
steakhouse chain. said. “Keeneland
contributes as much to my crowd as
football games.“

Rhodus estimated the increase in
business during the weekend of a home
football game to be about I7 percent.
Whether the game is during the day or

-at night doesn‘t seem to make any

difference at either of the chain‘s two
locations. Alexandia Drive or North
Limestone Street. "We operate at full
capacity either way.“ Rhodus said.

The restaurants estimated the
average age of their patrons to be
between Ill-25. In restaurants serving
liquor the average age is usually a bit
higher.

Liquor stores also serve UK fans.
but that doesn‘t mean their business
prospers during home games. Charley
Neville of Chevy Chase Liquor Store
doesn‘t believe home football games
influence his business. “There is not
that much increase on a weekend when
there is a game or not,“ Neville said.
“However. there is a slight increase on
a weekend when there is a game and
Keeneland'is in session.“

Walt Young. part owner and
manager of Coliseum Liquors.
disagrees. “We definitely have an
increase in business when there is an
afternoon game." Young said.
“Business during night games isn‘t as
hectic as day games." Young attributes
this to the fact that the people at the
night game have been up all day. and
since the game isn‘t over until
relatively late. they just want to go
home and go to sleep.

One local businessman who believes
home football games actually hurt his
business is night club and liquor store
owner Gary Stingle. Although more
people may come to his Euclid Avenue
club on a weekend of a home football

until about II p. m. and we close at |
a. m.. “Stingle said “And there are not
a hell of a lot of people who can drink
that much in just an hour and a half.“

He added that people buy things to
eat at the afternoon games and then go
to a restaurant after the game is over.
So by the time the football fans get to 3
his night club.'they have already spent
a lot of their money. '

However. Stingle knows of a
solution to this problem. “The only
thing that would really help me would
be if there was a law passed which
would allow us to stay open later plus
stay open on Sunday,“ he said.

While many merchants had
different opinions on the exact impact
UK football games have on their
businesses. they all agreed UK
basketball doesn‘t bring in as much
money or as many people as football
does. This might be because more
people can get into Commonwealth
Stadium than into Rupp Arena. But.
according to Sturgeon. “Basketball
doesn‘t do near as well as football does
because people don‘t make a weekend
out of basketball games like they do
with football.“

Blacks had said they would confront the Klansmen. but
Police Superintendent James Parsons persuaded the KKK
to reschedule the march to an earlier time.

The Klan procession by less than I00 took about l0
minutes and was followed by a five- minute ceremony at

A few of the blacks heckled the departing Klansmen. but

AFTER A WEEK-LONG “POSTER WAR." Chinese
Vice Premier Teng Hsiaoping openly acknowledged for the
first time yesterday that the Peking hierarchy may demote

'China‘s top leader. Hua Kuofeng. apparently to make way

for Teng. One report said the shakeup may be announced
today.

The Japanese news service Kyodo. in a dispatch from the 1
Chinese capital. said 4.0m Teng backers rallied in two
Peking squares Saturday night and yesterday demanding
that Hua. Mao Tse~tungs handpicked successor as
Communist Party chairman. be removed from his second
post. premier. and replaced by Teng.

It said a new wall poster went up in Pekingdenouncing the
I965-69 Cultural Revolution as a national disaster. The
“revolution." a purging of ‘reactionary'elements in favor of
ideological purity. was sponsored by the late Mac.

A GENERAL STRIKE CALLED IY MOSLEM

RELIGIOUS and politicians who want to topple the
beleaguered shah of Iran virtually shut down this strife-torn
‘country yesterday. and new anti-shah violence erupted in the

provinces.

Official reports said troops shot and killed at least nine
people and wounded 30 in the town of Gorgan. IBS miles
northeast of here. when anti-government demonstrators did
‘not obey orders to disperse. Rioters reportedly tried to set
fire to several buildings and a bank but were driven off by
security forces.

The official Pars news agency said a giant demonstration
in the holy city of Mashhad. near the Russian border 466
miles northeast of here. was kept under control by soldiers
backed by armored vehicles.

Thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets
of Masshad to protest the shootingof seven people last week
and the alleged maltreatment of a Moslem religious leader.

After weeks of waiting. apparently
no one will analyze the Iranian student
situation logically; thus I shalltakethe
liberty of doing so.

At first glance. the most obvious
parallax results from the fact that

reported in the
newspapers last week. UK Athletic Director Cliff
Hagan expressed concern about less-than-complete
attendence at the last home football games.

The declining attendance of students was cited in
particular. The l5.000 Commonwealth Stadium
seats reserved for students “may be to many.” he
said. “Maybe 13.000 would be enough." Students
did not use their full allotment for the last two home

football and basketball games. every student in.

principle has the right to a ticket. But when there‘s
an important game and the supply runs out. do

athletic officials start talking about the need for
more student tickets? Maybe at Yale. but not here.

Also. there is no proof of harm with the present
ticket distribution system. If students do not use the
full allotment of tickets. they're put on sale to the

public at the middle of the week before the game.
Face facts. guys. Everybody loves Big Blue and all.
but if the season’s a bust and the opponent is
Vanderbilt or VPI. fans aren‘t going to be climbing
over the fences.

The lack of respect for student fans is nothing
new. of course. Make them wait in lines. give them
I00 out of 7.l00 tickets to an away game (like at
Tennessee last weekend). offer them Rupp Arena

seating that is so bad negotiations are necessary to

get decent seats.

If students were big money contributors. then
they‘d get respect. but not now. Ifthe alumni don‘t
come to the game. it‘s time to get a new coach and

play better. If the students don‘t come out. take
away their tickets.

would have been to obtain a permit.

their own speech (I seriously doubt if
Adm. Turner and his friends would
have broken student codes to picket
such a gathering.)

Further. the fact that the Iranians'

did break student regulations (through
ignorance or deliberation. I do not
know) by their actions leads one to
wonder about their own morality ~—
i.e.. they are clearly at U K by their own
choice. and unless they were practicing
a futile exercise in civil disobedience.
should have respected such
regulations. The Iranian students. of
all people. should be well aware ofthe

through the confusion: “There can be
no such thing as the right to
unrestricted freedom on someone
else‘s property. The fact that the
University is owned by the state.
merely complicates the issue. but does
not alter it. The owners of the state
university are the voters and taxpayers
of that state. The university
administration. appointed (directly or
indirectly) by an elected official. is.
theoretically. the agent of the owners
~ and has to act as such . . . The
owners set the rules and terms of
appropriate conduct; the rest of the
participants are free to go elsewhere
and seek different terms. There can be
no such thing as the right to act on
whim. to be exercised by sdme at the
expense of others . . . The right to

determine what sort of language is
permissible belongs to the
administration of a university . . .

 

What they (the students) have
demonstrated is a point farthest
removed from their goals: that no
rights of any kind can be exercised
without property rights."

True. no one can argue that
conditions in Iran aren‘t bad. That is
my point. For those who have not seen
it. my point is that the Iranians
approached the matter of challenging

alleged American action in Iran in a '

sea of contradictions. and add to this.

obviously saw a chance to “get“ the

been done wrong in the past (perhaps
he has. I do not debate the issue). To
any reasoning individual. Smiley‘s
motives were definitely not to see “eyes

Stovall shock

I was shocked by the call of the
special session of the General
Assembly by Lt. Gov. Thelma Stovall.
Most decisions that are made. which
result in long lasting. positive effects.
are made after much deliberation and
rational thinking. Therefore. I
question the “accomplishments“‘the
General Assembly can make with so
little time to prepare. '

Very often, the ineffectiveness of the

.General Assembly has been credited to

the lack of time to prepare for the
regular session after being elected.
Now. many legislators are in the midst
of campaigns for re-election. The votes
they cast may well be to get reéelected
instead of for the good of the people of
Kentucky.

Stovall‘s decision. in my opinion.
was highly political and could well cost
the taxpayers of Kentucky
approximately 320.250 per day.
Stovall‘s purpose ofthe session was
apparently to cut taxes for
Kentuckians. Her decision to cut taxes
by spending more money may be an
example of the logic she will use in

THESE ASTHEGOWOLDDAYSE

Jackson editorial ignored some of facts

' BY BLAIR CHICK

After reading the (Kernel) editorial
of Nov. 20 preceding Jesse Jackson’s
appearance on television. I stayed up
and watched the show. Not that I
especially like Jesse Jackson. I know
of him by reputation only. but I was
curious to see just what he would say
.that could cause such a furor by a
major university newspaper.

what effect the music is having. And
there is an old history maxim that
allows music will reflect its time.

- Surely no one growing up in the sixties

could argue that.

And what about other comments in
the article. such as “while Jackson’s
assessment is correct —— the Rolling
Stones music is sexist. decadent and
perhaps obscene —— it’s a bit unfair.” It
is unfair to state the truth?

 

opinion

 

Actually. I thought it was a pretty
unusual stance for such a paper to take
(according to my limited journalistic
training. an unsigned editorial usually
insinuates the commentary reflects the
view of the newspaper). While I admit
that we have had to put up with several
punk rock articles. and a (two) page
spread on the pleasures of busing to
bars around town with a short stop at
the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I had
no idea that partying and today’s
“modern culture" meant so much to
the Kernel. Why the commentary
almost made me question some of its
journalism awards!

I guess what I‘m saying is that I feel
the article is slightly biased. Now I
admit that‘s allowed in a commentary.
But it seems the writer followed
Maier's Law: If the facts do not
conform to the theory. they must be
disposed of.

Any statement that says music has
no effect on the morality or culture of a
group of people must be looked upon
as somewhat dubious. At this time I‘m
sure that some funding body
somewhere disagrees because there are
a lot of studies being done to find out

As for “how dangerous are the
Stones to today‘s youth“ — that is a
good question. Sure teenagers and
adults can appreciate the differéncc
“between a song and real life” — but
what good is that. when the song
reflects real life. Oreven worse. when a
kid tries to live up tothoscsongs and is
crushed because he can‘t make the
standards set by the media today on
what a “hip guy" is supposed to be all
about.

Speaking of “at the expense of
common sense“ — has perhaps the

' writer‘s biases for his choice of lifestyle
blinded him to reality? I worked in a
dorm at Western Kentucky University
(a “conservative” campus) for two-
and-one-half years and saw
alcoholism. the problems of sex

without commitment. the hurts. the-

depressions. the kids looking for a way
out. You all it lucrative silliness —— tell
that to my friend who had the baby out
ofwedlock.alterbeingrapedbyher
date at oneofthoaefunpartieswehcar

so much about. Somehow your article

fails to convince me that Rev. Jackson
is the one lacking common sense.

As I said before the article lacked
something in fact. You see. the article

insinuated that Jackson “derided them
(lyrics of the Rolling Stones) before a
graduation ceremony“ in the television
show. Actually the subject was never
mentioned; Rev. Jackson spent his
time expounding the importance of
education and human dignity. You
call this “eagerness to bring salvation
at the cost of human sense!!" We
should all be so eager!

Perhaps to end this. one has to look
at the cue statements used at the start
of the article; such as “religious
conviction." “fire and brimstone
speeches“and “haste to drive out
booze. drugs and illict sex.“ Perhaps if
this is a “wide swath of modern
culture“ we would do well to look at

. the “moralistic“ answer that Jackson
could present.

Could a kind and benevolent God

who sent His son that we might have

abundent life be so terrible that we
must avoid Him at all cost? Jesus says.
“Come to me all you who are heavy
laden (with this modern culture) and I
will give you rest.“ Is that so terrible
that it has to be thrown off as a
religious rap? Praise God that He has
given Its an alternative to the
emptiness that is so easy to find
around us!
You see. we have come a long way
. from the “pelvis-less Elvis" of a few
years ago. Does anyone care to call it
progress?
