Athletic association approves

By JOE KEMP
Sports Editor

The UK Athletics Association
board of directors yesterday ap-
proved a budget of $3.58 million for
the coming year.

UK President Otis A. Singletary,
the board chairman, told board
members that the budget was
“slightly higher” than last year’s.

“The big problem with it (the
budget) is that we don’t want to let
our expenditures outrun the
budget,” he said.

Estimated expenditures for the
UK athletic program are:

Football

Basketball

Other Sports

All Sports

[equipment and im-

provements] 8523.000

Wom en’s Athletics $15,000

Administration and General $88,000
Total $3,580,000

Singletary said football is
estimated to bring in nearly $2.4
million this fall.

“The number of home football

games is up to seven this year and 1
ca n't ever remember us playing that
many,” he said. “But the revenues
for footballwill go down some in 1977
because we will play fewer home
games.”

Basketball is expected to gross
$784,000 in receipts this year.

“We really don’t know about that
figure, but that’s our estimate,” said
Singletary. “Of course, we don’t

know how we’ll do at Rupp Arena, so
that’s the figure we’re working
with."

Of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) investigation of
the UK athletic program, Singletary
said “I will say that the NCAA is
interested in the athletic program at
the University.

“The process (investigation) is
going through a number of steps.

Ombudsman acts as negotiator

By KIM YELTON
Kernel Reporter

If you’ve ever had a problem with
a teacher, an incorrect grade or
other unfair circumstances you
think someone might have dealt you,
then you’ve probably heard of the
Academic Ombudsman.

He is the negotiator for students,
faculty and administration when
problems arise between them.

The office was instituted six years
ago at UK. During those years, the
ombudsman has been a tactful
negotiator of flaring tempers, in-

jured feelings and indignant prides,
resolving problems which involved a
number of academic concerns.

Dr. C. Frank Buck is this year’s
ombudsman. He has taught at UK
for 23 years as an animal sciences
professor is the College of Agricul-
ture.

Besides his teaching experiences
at UK, Buck has served on several
University committees including the
University Senate, the Appeals
Board and the Student Affairs
Committee. He also was Student
Center Board adviser.

DR. C. FRANK BUCK

. . . new academic ombudsman

“Most (complaints) have involved
dissatisfaction with grading,” said
Buck. Other examples include an
instructor’s failure to give students
a course syllabus or his failure to
follow the one he set up.

Some student complaints have
risen when an instructor failed to
show an interest in his course or the
students, or he did not show up for
class, according to an annual report
by Dr. P.S. Sabharwal, last year’s
ombudsman.

Sometimes students have not
brought their problems to the om-
budsman for fear of reprisal from
the instructor.

“Anything that goes to the Om-
budsman is confidential,” said Dr.
Sabharwal. If they do not want the
instructor to know that they made
the complaint, their request is
respected.

“A student has to be alert," he
warned. “He should come in before
it is too late to do anything.”

Students, however, are not the
only ones who frequent the om-
budsman’s office. Faculty members
have reported troubles resulting
from cheating and plagiarism by
students.

Dr. Sabharwal outlined in his
report suggestions to alleviate un-
necessary problems. He
recommended that department
chairmen remind instructors to pass
out a syllabus to each student during
the first week of classes and that it
“be preferably similar” to what
they teach.

To help avoid confusion about
grading, Dr. Sabharwal
recommended establishing a grad-
ing scale for the semester and then
not changing those requirements.

He also suggested that instructors
avoid crowded classroom situations
that might encourage cheating.

“if these suggestions were
seriously followed by faculty, stu-
dents and administration, many of
the problems that arise during the
year could be alleviated,” he said.

“Cliff (Hagan, men’s athletic
director), I believe, said last week
that he will have no weekly reports
on the matter and that is the policy
we will take.

“When evolution of the case
comes,” Singletary added,

- “everyone will know about it.

“We will have nothing more to say
about this until there is something to
say. H

Singletary then referred to the
recent incident involving sophomore
quarterback Bill Tolston.

“I take it the legal concern is
resolved,” he said.

The Associated Press reported
Wednesday that Tolston pleaded
guilty to a marijuana charge in
Fayette Quarterly Court. Tolston
was given 90—days probated sen-
tenoe.

“As far as the student code of-
fense, that decision will be made by
the Dean of Students (Joe Bunch).
There will be no public an-
nouncement, as there is never any
announcement made against any
other student,” Singletary said.

Then former Kentucky Governor
Albert B. “Happy” Chandler broke
m.

“I don’t think the people or the
athletic program itself deserve the
criticism,” he said. “The University
has been the subject of adverse
publicity on relatively minor
matters which we haven’t deserved.

“The University, more than ever,
ought to be defended by those who
can add to its defense,” said
Chandler.

“I want to make it clear that we
aren’t the only school in the country
that is being scrutinized by the
NCAA, it just looks that way," he
said.

“I think we all realize that,
Governor,” Singletary said dryly.

The future use of Memorial
Coliseum was also discussed at the
meeting.

Hagan said students activities,
men’s basketball practice, women's
basketball games and varsity
wrestling matches would be held
there.

“We have a problem down the
road with it (the Coliseum,” said
Singletary.

“In order not to be in competition
with Rupp Arena, we ought to look
at ourpolicy. it’s our intention not to
compete with them (civic center
officials), but how do you define
competition? Oh, the students will
continue to have rock concerts and
all that.

“We don’t intend to have a ny more
circuses here, other than the one we
already have," Singletary said with
a smile.

 

No vote yet
on RCC funds

The Urban County Council did
not vote at its meeting last night
on whether to allocate about
$1,300 to the Rape Crisis Center
(RCC).

“Supporters of the RCC will be
present at every council session
until a vote is taken,” said Brucie
80er of the RCC. “We do not
anticipate a vote before Tues-
day’s work session,” she added.

RCC requested the allocation in
order to be eligible for a 821,000
federal grant.

‘Making It’ magazine is

what you want it to be

By JIM McNAlR
Kernel Reporter

In 1970, a Free University group
called Q.U.E.S.T. (Questioning
Univesity Education by Students
and Teachers) decided that, in an
era of liberal, anti-system thinking,
a publication by the students for the
students was necessary to sup-
plement the rigmarolic catalogs and
pamphlets which confused, rather
than conveyed.

“Making It,” published since then
by Student Government (SG). was a
product of the same hectic year
which saw the Kent State killings
and the burning of the UK ROTC
building. The essence of the original
booklet was, according to co-founder
Mark Paster, “the idea of Making It
what you think it should be."

Now in its sixth year, editor
Marion Wade of SG has continued
the booklet’s basic emphasis of
heipin g students find loopholes in the
University system, by continuing
favorite topics such as “Unbearable
Buildings,” “Appealing Grades"
and “Bad Courses".

“‘Making It’ is based on the

premise that your university ex-
perience is what ya: as an individual
want it to be," said Wade. “We try to
identify known problem areas such
as orientation and failure of the
system to fully inform students of
academic options. Then we suggest
ways around the problems or at
least how to bear them. It's bad
enough not knowing who to talk to,
but it‘s worse when you don’t even
know how to phrase the question."

“Making it" was mailed in June to
4.900 freshmen to prepare them for
the vicisitudes of college life. All
academic and nonacademic op-
portunitia are discussed in a per-
son-to-person manner that
university publications fail to attain.

This year's edition has several
new subjects. Among them are
articles on the National
Organization for the Reform of
Mariham Laws (NORML), Greek
living. a friendly librarian, the
Council on Womens' Concerns and a

MARION WADE
...edits ”Making it"

chapter by Student Health Ad-
ministrator Jean Cox entitled “I
Feel Sick...Flush." Her contribution
covers health care on campus.

The magazine is sanctioned by SC
with funds approved by the 86
Senate. (Approximately $800 was
spentonthecurrentissue, mainly on
printing expenditures to the UK
printing shop.)

Students over the years have
related their hardships in “Making
it" to prepare freshmen for the
worse. However, the opinions within
the magazine “do not necessarily
express the opinions of the editors,
groups. or individuab making it."

For next year’s version, Wade
would like to incorporate as an
appendix to the Student Services
Yellow Pages and add sections on
special academic opportunities and
experiential education. Course
descriptions will also have to un-
dergo their annual facelifting.

“We need feedback," Wade said.
“Withwt it, we don‘t know where
we‘re going and where we have
been. We don‘t care. if it's negative
as long as it‘s constructive.”

Copies of “Making it" are
available to all students in the 86
Office, Roan 120 of the Student
Center Building.

Mine staff additions
only partial advance

The recent addition of 25 employes
strengthens the state’s mine safety en-
forcement program, but federal control of
coal mining remains a far-off reality.

The Mining Enforcement and Safety Ad-

ministration (MESA) Tuesday

mining specialists (including six inspectors)
to its Madisonville district office and five to

the Lexington Training Center.

The six inspectors will regulate gaseous
underground mines. It was a methane gas
mine in Letcher County owned by the Scotia
Coal Co. where 26 miners died last March.

Reclamation reportedly were angered at Gov.
Julian Carroll for relaxing mining regulations
in favor of big coal operators. State officials
reportedly “reassigned" several tough mine

inspectors in deference to the coal barons.

added 20

Furthermore, the state needs to emphasize
protection of mine inspectors. Numerous
accounts have surfaced in the past several
years reporting assaults and threats on the

lives of mine inspectors.

MESA’s action, though an encouraging sign,
is only a minor victory. What remains
essential is a comprehensive strip mine bill
such as the one President Ford foolishly

vetoed in 1975.

As Kentucky Sens. Walter Huddleston and

Wendell Ford argued in support of the ad-
ditions, 20 more officials will help centralize
mine control in Western Kentucky, rather

than going through Washington “second

hand. "

The 20 new staff members will raise the
total number of Madisonville mine safety
employes to 85. The six additional employes in

A national strip mining bill uniting mining
and reclamation regulations would simplify
enforcement.

Environmental damage can be best limited
with a national shift toward deep coal mining

Lexington will hasten lagging organizational

efforts at the center, which opened in October.

Bolstering staff is only a partial measure in
the battle for state mine control; officials also
must keep politics out of mine regulation. And,

rather than reckless stripping. The over-
whelming majority of the nation’s coal
reserves are imbedded well below the surface.

Deep mining is a more expensive process

than surface strips but, contrary to arguments

last summer, state officials are doing the

opposite.

Individualism

Individualism is definitely not
what University officals want us to
experience. To qualify this state-
ment, consider this hypothetical
case. Suppose that one day two
typical dorm residents got a wild
hair up their asses and decided to
paint their dorm room in colors they
like.

What happens? The very typical
officals decide they cannot have this
nonconformity in their residence
halls: the room must be repainted
the “01' bathhouse white" at the two
typical dorm residents‘ expense.
After all. individualism is difficult to
deal with; social security numbers
are much easier. This is not a fable.

Pot control

I agree with Gatewood Galbraith
that marijuana should be legalized
For better or worse, the decision to
smoke marijuana is a personal
decision, and "the government
should not intrude on personal
decisions." What I cannot un-
derstand is why he proposes to turn
the industry over to government. I
raise three points in opposition:

(1) The decisions to grow, import,
buy, and sell marijuana in par-
ticular quantities are also all per-
sonal decisions. Under Galbraith‘s
plan, all of these decisions would be
regulated by government Whether
a person is prosecuted for smoking
marijuana or for growing too much,
it is still persecution. And per-
secution is persecution, whether the
victim is rich or poor.

(2) There is no reason to suppose
that the government can or will
manage tne marijuana industry in
the interests of anyone but itself.
Galbraith accuses government of
deliberately misleading the public.
selling out to special interests, and
harassing innocent people; and he
claims that these faults are inherent
in the system. I agree. But then why
do we trust governments with ever-
increasing responsibilities?

picture,..progress is painfully slow.

 

(3) Galbraith’s plan is a huge ripoff
of the marijuana consumer. He has
the farmers making 900 per cent
profit, the state making almost 75
per cent profit, and the vendors
making 37 per cent profit (less
overhead). What corporations make
profits like those? The difference
between what the free market price
would be and the statecontrolled
price has been taken from the
consumer.

There are enough ripoffs in this
world without our institutionalizing

them.

Frankly, I‘m worried. I’m

editorial attitude prevailing in
The Kernel as when I was a fresh

I see the same emphasis on‘
psaido-intellectualism, drugs, and
other sensational stereotypic

myth perpetuated: that a graduate
of this miversity by virtue of his

all this, and it worries me because it
isn't real.

rolling would at least be well oiled
and ready to go, right? It didn‘t work
that way during the women’s suf-
frage days, either. National
ratification is still shifted into
reverse.

In New York, the movement
toward rescission. which probably

ca mpa'gn to defeat the state ERA, is

WOMAN; “I love my husband. So

Many sources of product informa-
tion are available to today’s con-
sumer. Consumer Reports is a"
magazine published by an independ-
ent corporation which analyzes se-
lected factors in consumer goods
and gives advice on more efficient
buying. “Consumer Survival Kit” is
a program on public television that
discusses similar issues. But the
most influential source of consumer
information today is the medium of
advertising.

Billions of dollars are spent each
year by parties with vested interest
in influencing the consumer’s de-
cision. Because of this nationwide
advertising structure, individuals

are exposed to new and different
products designed to make their.
lives easier, their clothes brighter,
and their sex lives more active.

The problem with this, however, is
that some advertisers might not
take their public trust with as much
responsibility as might be desired.
In short, some advertisers might
take advantage of the medium to
distort the truth or even lie in order
to get the consumer’s dollar.

Labeling this unscrupulous sel-
ler’s activities “unfair
competition,” Congress created the
Federal Trade Commission in 1913.

having rescinded their ratification
once, are thinking about doing it
again. None of the unratified states
even show much interest in getting
up and taking a look around.

If you are interested in seeing
equality unda the law become a
realty for millions of American
women, the organization to contact
at little the Campus Alliance for the
ERA. Better yet, consida' whether
ywr student organization would like
to joh uses a group. But let me tell
you something about our
organization:

The ERA alliance was rapidly
formed early last February in an
effort to fight the onslaught against
Kentucky’s ratification. We worked
independently and in cooperation
with other group to organize a
letter-writin g campaign, petition
drive, and lobbying trips to Frank-
fort in addition to the Feb. 22 forum

Through the original act and sub-
sequent amendments, the FTC has
become the principal governmental
agent for regulating “unfair, false,
or misleading” advertising.

The FTC has been fighting Geritol
for years with little success. Though
they made Geritol stop advertising
that it was a cure for ”iron-poor
tired blood,” the same message
appears again and again: “If you
want to feel better and (it implies)
slow down your aging process, or at
least do so more gracefully, use
Geritol.”

Not all advertisers are as persist-
ent as Geritol, though. After an
FTC order, Listerine, for example,
has stopped implying that it is a cure
for the common cold. The FTC also
made some headway in the area of
children’s advertising. Mattel was
told to stop airing a commercial
about a toy race car, in which the
camera was. speeded up, and the
voice-over told the children that
“...It pops its chute at 200 miles an
hour.” Little more children’s adver-
tising regulation has been done,
though, pending debate concerning
FTC adoption of the National As-
sociation of Broadcasters Code
provisions.

Surprisingly, the Supreme Court
has had little to do with the area of
consumer affairs. The one major
case it decided involved only the
narrow issue of whether props may
be used in TV commercials without
disclosing the fact that a prop was
being used.

That case, decided in 1965, in-
volved a commercial for Rapid
Shave. The contention of the com-
mercial was that Rapid Shave was
so wet that it could soften sandpaper
for shaving. The obvious assumption
is that if Rapid Shave will soften
sandpaper, it’ll soften beards.

Due to the state of technology in-

television at the time, however,
sandpaper would not show up on TV.
Under the lights it looked just like a
regular piece of paper. So Bristol-
Meyers pasted sand to plexi-glass
and shaved that for the commercial
(though it had actually proved in the
laboratory that Rapid Shave would

on the ERA at campus and the
March 6 rally in Frankfort.

After the end of the legislative
session, we continued to work as an
active organization, writing articles
and pamphlets, forming ties with
other groups, and organizing con-
tingents to goto the May 16 rally in
Springfield, Illina's, and the Aug. 26
commema'ative rally in Louisville.

We believe we should come
together with everyone who sup-
ports the amendment, and we have
'ncluded in our constitution a non
partisan clause designed
specifically to make people feel
welcome. At the moment,
preference among the membership
seems to begeneraly mire toward
teach-ins and man action then
toward letter-writing and tekeyour-
legislabr-wt-to-lunch tactics, but
this is due to a great extent to the
current political situation. We have

soften real sandpaper after soaking
for about three hours.)

Bristol-Meyers was not lying. But
they were “kidding just a little bit.”
The Supreme Court agreed with the
FTC in telling them to stop advertis-
ing in such a deceiving manner.

Today’s results of this decision
have gone towards the ridiculous,
however. In one antacid
commercial, for example, an an-
imation is imposed over a man’s
stomach to show how the antacid
works. Both on the screen and in
voice-over, the words “simulated
demonstration” are used, on the
theory that someone will be de-
ceived into thinking the man’s
actual stomach is being shown.

This type of warning is not needed
for something as obvious as the
antacid commercial, but it is used.
This warning is needed, however,
where the attempt at deceit is
blatant. Several record companies
advertise, primarily on daytime and
late-night television such offers as
“The Super Hits of the Summer of
’76.” These offers often show a
listing of the songs on their big,
two-album set, and promise lyrics,
pictures, and, “as a special bonus, a
giant Sweathogs poster.”

No express warning is ever given
expressly stating that the songs are
not sung by the original artists. The
closest approximation is a little
statement concealed in the chatter
that the songs are, “sung by the
Sandsifters,” but to many the ca-
pacity to deceive is there.

The point is that the producers.

make their money from the sale of
their products. Advertising helps
make those sales. And even with
such regulatory agencies as the
FTC, unfair or deceptive advertising
can still get through.

In many cases, it is the foxes
guarding the chickens: the adver‘
tisers showing us what they want us
u. know. And sometimes, what they
don’t say is more important than
what they do say.

Swine flu inoculation
program ‘damn well
better run right,’ Ford says

WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Ford was quoted
yesterday as saying the
nation’s lagging program for
mass inoculations against
swine flu “damn well better
run right” and summoned his
secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare to
discuss the matter.

White House Press

Secretary Ron Nessen said
Ford summoned Secretary
David Mathews to a meeting
at the White House. Nessen
told reporters about the
summons when they asked
whether the President was
concerned about the
program.

The government says only
20.4 million doses of swine flu

vaccine will be ready when
the inoculation program
starts Oct. 1.

That is (lily one-fourth the
amount the Ford ad-
ministration hoped to have on
hand. Mathews appealed
Wednesday to four drug

companies making the
vaccine to speed up
production schedules.

 

PRESIDENT FORD
...“damn well better run
right."

Louisville police anticipate trouble

LOUISVILLE (AP) —
Police officials said Thursday
they are gearing up for a
weekend of possible violence
in the wake of an antibusing
demonstration earlier in the
week, when tear gas was used
to disperse a crowd of unruly
protestors.

Deputy County Police Chief
Robert Grant said antibusing

matches are planned Friday
night and Sunday night near
Valley High School on Dixie
Highway, an area where
resistance to court-ordered
busing is strongest.

“We will give them every
opportunity to peacefully
demonstrate,” Grant said.
“We will go the second mile.

But they are not going to
block the roadways for long
periods of time.”

“This weekend will give us
a gang on what we can
expect this year,” Grant said.
“They hada good turnout the
other night, with over a
thousand, but we don’t know
how many they will have. I

would think they would try to
recruit petple from all of the
antibusing organizations.”

Louisville Public Safety
Director Allen Bryan said he
was aware of “a major effort
being expended to get people
out on Sunday night on Dixie
Highway” and that city police
will be available if needed.
