Center at 498 Georgetown St. Unlike
last semester when bad weather played
havoc with tentative registration
dates, Allan is expecting both good
weather and a better turnout.

Thomas Calhoun will teach
sociology and Dr. George Wright will
teach history. He taught the initial
class last fall when UK offered it at
Shiloh Baptist Church.

Wright, who teaches the class on
campus as well, will also hold a lecture
series concerning issues raised by the
television program Roots. The non-
credit lectures are open to the public
and will serve as a kick-off for a
Community Education Program.

A request made in May for minor
changes in two campus dorms has yet
to receive any action by the University,
according to the Director of
Handicapped Student Services, who
made the request.

But although problems for
handicapped students at UK still exist,
it is one of only a few universities to
start an attendant program to aide

The request concerned changes to

according to Jacob Karnes, director of
handicapped student services.

“They (the University) had plenty of
time to do it and as [far as I know
nothing has been done,” Karnes said.
The request was submitted to Victor
Gaines, acting director for Affirmative
Action and Employee Counseling on
May 9 of this year.

By an. LAWSON
Staff Writer

The handicapped attendant
program that was implemented last
January has allowed handicapped
students to live on campus and
function as other students living in
residence halls.

David Kimble, a freshman at LTl, is
one of five handicapped students in the
new program.

“l love it. i get to meet so many more
people," Kimble said. He added that at
first he feared the' program might not
work.

“I had no idea of what it was going
to be like. l thought at first the
attendants couldn‘t handle it, but
they‘ve handled it real well."

The program allows Kimble and
other handicapped students to live on
campus. Prior to its initiation,
handicapped students had to stay at
Cardinal Hill Hospital and were

Dawn Ramsey, Community
Education coordinator at UK, said she
hopes the Community Education
Program “will fulfill the needs of
people in three target groups ~
namely displaced housewives, senior
citizens. and inner-city minorities. The
idea behind the program is to take
what the University has to offer and
match that with community desires
and needs.”

Ramsey said the inner-city classes,
in general, are designed to introduce
the urban population to the
University. “Eventually, we would like
to see more of these people come to

driven to school each day.

Attendants are on duty seven daysa
week from 6a.m. to l0 a.m. and from 9
pm. to i am. They perform any duties
the handicapped students cannot do
for themselves. This includes draining
catheter leg bags, putting students to
bed, bathing students and any minor
medical treatment that might be
required.

All attendants are trained by the
Handicaped Sttidents Services before
working in the residence halls. New
attendants receive $3.50 an hour when
they work, while returning attendants
from last semester earn 84 an hour.

One of Kimble’s attendants, Greg
Perugini, a business administration
sophomore. said some attendants were
also fearful about working in the new
program. “People are squeamish
about those kind of things. They
thought it would be dehumanizing.”

request “came up after major projects
had been determined.” These major
projects include the renovation of
ramps, elevators and restrooms.

Gaines said there has been some
problem in obtaining funding for the
changes that the University wants-to
make. Some money became available
from the Council on Higher Education
after July I, Gaines said.

The University usually allocates
$l0,000 to handicapped student
services each year. said Gaines. But
Karnes said this money has not yet
been appropriated and if it does come,
it cannot be used for housing
purposes, only for academic purposes.

The changes Karnes requested
involved several additions to the living
quarters of handicapped students.

In some rooms, desks and tables are
not high enough for wheelchairs to fit
under and some door knobs and
drawer handles need to be changed to
levers so that students with limited
limb use can operate them more easily.

Rooms with washbasins also need
to be altered for students in
wheelchairs. Cabinets now exist
underneath the cabinents which
prevent wheelchairs from approaching
the basins straight-on.

Other minor changes Karnes listed

were lower water fountains, lower
mirrors. and the renovation of some
ramps that are starting to crack and
sink.

“These are all minor things and
they're not real expensive items.“
Karnes said. “But they are necessary
conviences that the University could

' provide. The University could have

done these this summer.“

An odd situation in Blazer Hall
exists that also needs to be changed,
Karnes said. A modified shower for
the handicapped is located in one wing
while the modified toilet is located ina
seperate wing.

in contrast to the structural
problems. the attendant program that
began in the dorms last January has
been termed very successful by several
officals.

This program, supported by state
funds, allows handicapped students to
live ,on campus who would normally
have to stay at a medical facility.

Four attendants work with five
handicapped students and aid them
with any needs they cannot fulfill
themselves. (Please see following

TWO BOMBS PLANTED by Arab terrorists exploded in Jerusalem
yesterday on the eve of the Camp David summit, seriously injuring a gasoline .
station attendant and a police sapper from America who emigrated to Israel
after serving in the Vietnam War, authorities said.

Both of the injured were hurt in a bomb blast near a gasoline station. The
second bomb went off under an empty tourist bus outside the Jaffa Gate
entrance to the Old Cify and no one was hurt. the police said.

Those who had been on the bus are in Israel for a conference of

GUERRILLA LEADER Joshua Nkomo said in Zambia that his
followers were responsible for shooting down a Rhodesian airliner in
northeast Rhodesia with 56 persons aboard, but he denied reports that they
were responsible for murdering l0 of the IR survivors.

The head of Air Rhodesia, however. told reporters yesterday he had found
no evidence as yet that the four-engine Viscount airliner which crashed near
the Zambian border Sunday night had been downed by a guerrilla missile.

intensive investigation was underway to determine why the plane crashed.

ANWAR SADAT and Menachem Begin headed into mountaintop
isolation and the uncertainties of a Mideast summit conference yesterday,
already in conflict over its goals and the role to be played by President

“We come here at a crucial crossroad.” Sadat said on his arrival at,
Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington. “The challenge is tremendous.
We have no choice but to accept the challenge. We cannot afford to fail.”

Earline Davis, l5. who was more than eight months pregnant. was dead on

Fire officials said the woman landed head first on the sidewalk and was

For minority recruiting .
Hiring of Hanley wise
move by University

The University has taken an excellent step in
hiring a full-time official to oversee the recruitment
of minority students. in that position, Alvin Hanley
will be responsible for increasing the number of
minority — primarily black — students at UK.

An increase in the enrollment of minorities here is
warranted. Last year, only about 2.5 percent of
UK‘s student body. That‘s a low-figure for a large
state university. Nationally, the number of blacks
attending college has more than tripled in the past
decade (compared to white enrollment, which has
doubled]. and UK should not exclude itself from

that growth.

Hanley will work at encouraging minority
students to attend UK, and plans to visit many high
schools in search of prospective college students.

He says he will concentrate on recruiting students
who are well-prepared scholastically and have a
competitive attitude that will help them adjust to a
university's academics and atmosphere. That‘s a
good policy. as seeking out the best-qualified
candidates may be the best way to solve the problem

of keeping mtnonty students once they 're at school.

Changing the perception of UK that minority
groups have may be the best way to increase
enrollment of blacks and other minorities. UK’s
image as a patrician. lily-white institution is not
quite true and discourages minorities from
enrolling. Also, the University's proximity to mostly

selective recruitment.

increasing the percentage of minority students
should have a high priority on Kentucky campuses
right now. The Department of Health, Education

is conducting surveys of the

desegregation of statewide university systems,
including Kentucky‘s, and investigators will be

at enrollment figures and trends.

The North Carolina system had a long struggle
with the federal government last year over
integration. and if the HEW survey concludes that
Kentucky has not done enough to increase minority
enrollment, it could endanger federal funds now
depended on by Kentucky’s universities.

Ignoring prob/ems won ’1‘ make them go away

This past sttmmer, while working as
an htern reporter for the Lexington
Herald, | conducted Three-month
investigation into drug a‘buse in the
Lexington high schools. When-lbegan
the investigation, i wasn‘t sure what to
expect but as it progressed— as seems
to be the ease with many good
stories- the real story managed to fall
into my lap.

they said. and they had a real story for
me. '
The story was drugs. They‘re
everywhere. they said. Kids use them
at school, in school and around
school. they said.

After several days of interviews with
them. i decided the story was worth
looking into. it‘s not been that long
since I was in high school. and the

 

char/es main

 

What i had intended to be my
definitive analysis of the cultural and
societal influences that lead to drug
use and abuse among adolescents
turned into a treatise on a particular
drug: phencyclidine.

' Phencyclidine— or PCP— is an
animal tranquilizer first manufactured
in the ‘50s by Parke-Davis. It was used
on human patients for a time, until it
was discovered to be too volatile and
was restricted. it is widely used in the
horse industry, which makes it readily
available in this area.

But l‘rn getting ahead of myself.

According to several recent studies,
there are over six million PCP users in
the United States. many of whom are
believed to be teen-agen.

My own investigation turned up no
statistics on the number of people in
Lexington who use the drug. but most
of the sources i talked .to seemed to
think it is almost exclusively used by
teen-agers here.

The investigation began when some
kids from one of the local high schools
came to see are early this summer.
They‘d seen my byline in the Herald.

things they had to say were memory-
jarring.

it was not until later in the summer
that i realized the real story was PCP.
The stuff is everywhere. The kids i
talked to told me that was the case, and
i found no reason to doubt them.

My interest engaged, I talked to
several local officials about the
situation. What i learned, while not
shocking or particularly surprising,
was downright scary. What I'd like to
pass on here are some of the more
important points of the story i wrote
for the Herald. and some analysis I
didn‘t have the oppurtunity to add.

The story appeared in the Herald on
Thursday, August 24. That paper
owns the copyright on the story. and
all quotes from it are used by
permission.

That use of PCP has now reached
epidemic proportions in this country
should not be surprising to anyone.
What i was told by my young sources
turned out to be true. Very few of the
three dozen or so students I talked to
from the schools they mentioned
claimed ignorance of the subject.

Almost all of them said they knew
people who used the drug. Most of
them had done it themselves.

PCP is a problem. it is cheap and
easy to make, easy to steal in its ready-
rnade form (one attorney I spoke with
said “a hell of a lot of drugs are
manufactured just to be stolen"/ and
available in great abundance on the
streets. it is sold in the high schools
like soda pop. and is used as casually
as soda pop.

The effects of the drug are myriad.
its basic effect is one of complete
disorientation, often accompanied by
hallucinations, distortion of time and
space, a feeling of compression and-—
apparently this is a real test of one‘s
“hipness” among youngsters—
nausea. ‘

The same attorney, who has done
work as a drug investigstor for several
years, told me, “You wouldn‘t believe
some of the kids We talked to. Their
idea of a good time is to go out and get
so blown away they don‘t know where
they are or what they‘re doing. And
whatever it costs to accomplish that is

'worth it. They're on some kind of
suicide trip."

It became obvious to me at every
turn that statements like this were not
mere exaggeration. The PCP fad— for
fad it is— is a very real and volatile
one. it‘s chief danger is that it is damn
near impossible to convince those who
use it they are doing anything wrong.

One of the teen-agers i talked to
said. “i don‘t believe PCP is bad for
you. The government just says that to
try and scare us. They dont give a
damn what‘s good or bad for us. What
about Paraquat? is that good for us?”

This, according to my attorney
friend. is the gist of the PCP

 

generation‘s mentality. Kids today feel
cut off, left out of a society they don‘t
understand. For any of a number of
reasons- too much television
parenting, too little of any kind of
parenting. or whatever— they have
not developed the selfdiscipline that is
so vital to any child’s ability to learn.
Consequently, they have not been able
to learn.

School. for most of them. has been
nothing more than institutionalized
frustration, An establishment (yes, the
word is still popular) full of
authoritarian figures demanding
things of them they simply aren‘t
equipped to handle.

Many just don‘t try to handle it.
They drop out, or do just enough in
their classes to get D's. Many try to
handle it for a while, then give up in
pique. Almost all of them turn, at
some point, to drugs.

Marijuana was great for a while. but
its use is so common— “any school.
any day.” one kid told me— it has
become routine for most of them to go
to school stoned. and many do. it has
become a basic adolescent skill to
function while stoned.

Acid was in vogue for a while. but
it‘s simply too hard to get good acid
around here to make it worth anyone's
time. The best acid available in
Lexington for the last couple of years
has been “Purple Microdot.” and my
sources tell me the major supply of
that has been effectively cut off.

Cocaine is just too expensive by
anyone‘s standards, and its effects are
too minimal to make any difference to
the kids we‘re talking about. These
kids want a way out; they don‘t want to
have to be responsible for themselves
day after day. and they want a drug to
blame it on.

For that. PCP is made to order. As
is the free enterprise system.

by sight. And those who would avoid it
if they knew they were getting it—
thcre are fewer and fewer of those
types left» have no defense against
those who would sell it as something
else.

According to the latest spot check of
drug samples from this area.
conducted every three months by
Pharm-Chem Labs. Inc. of California.
almost everything sold in this area as
“THC." “An el Dust” and “M DA" is
PCP. Lots 0 it is also sold as cocaine
to the young and unschooled.

In addition, Pharm-Chem has said.
a great deal of the pot sold in this area
is dusted with PCP. There is very little
high-grade pot available around here,
and the dealers have discovered that
that which isn‘t really up to

, commercial snuff (no pun intended/

can be upgraded with a little careful
dusting.

What was most appalling among the
things i discovered in the course of the
investigation was the reaction of one
of the high school principals i talked
with.

\

i

l

I will], . \.\\“ ‘
Wirillmr..m§‘¢ir§ .

“I don‘t know anything about
PCP." he told me. “and ldoubt if any
of the kids here do either.“ ‘

That was the most intelligent thing
he said to me. After that. he called me
“sick,” and asked why I didnt “write
about something good.”

That conversation will remain with
me for some time. The only
comforting thought I can salvage from
the conversation is that my sister and
my youngest brother (age ll and IS )
whom l love very much, don‘t attend
his school.

i would have thought that. by now.
the ranks of those with whom we
entrust the guidance of our children
would have been stripped of his type.

We cannot make problems go away
by ignoring them, and if we continue
to ignore problems like PCP and the
attitudes that have led to its
popularity, we had best be prepared to
sleep light.

Moped madness strikes campus.

Dy JAY FOSSETT
Staff Writer

Motorized bieyclei. better
known as mopeds, are
attempting to overthrow the
monopoly that conventional
bicycles have on today's college
campuses. The economy,
convenience and excitement of
the moped make it a popular
item among the college crowd.

Although UK has only a few
moped riders right now, the
numbers increase each year.
With that 'comes an accom-
panyng increase in problems.

One problem with mopeds
involves speed, according to
Tom Padget,‘ UK public safety
director. Although mopeds
generally travel no faster than
30 m.p.h.. those which reach
greater speeds are often
classified as motorcycles.

Padgett said because of the
speed factor, all mopeds on
campus are to be treated as

motorcycles. Bikes are allowed
on campus sidewalks.
motorcycles are not.

“We already have problems
with bikes racing and riding too
fast and we feel that mopeds
will only increase the existing
problem.” Padgett said.

He warned that even with the
motors off, mopeds are
prohibited on sidewalks. “It‘s
so easy to turn the motor on
and they're so quiet it‘s hard to
tell they‘re on at all,” Padgett
said.

Engineering sophomore
Mark Cross bought a moped
last May and rides it from his

' apartment to classes every day.

Cross said the main reason
behind his purchase was UK's
parking problem.

“Now instead of having to go
through the hassles of parking
in the stadium parking lot and
walking across campus to class,

Changes are needed
for handicapped

students in dorms

Continued from page 1

Brian Shaffer, BGS senior
and a handicapped student
who is co-ordinator of the
attendant program, said UK
could serve as a model to other
schools.

“All in all it (the attendant
program) has worked well.
There are only about IO other
universities that have a
program like this of any scale.
I'd say it would be a big plus for
UK,” Shaffer said.

Shaffer said there are 25
handicapped students living in
residence halls. Of those, I I are
confined to wheelchairs and
require special facilities such as
ramps.

Shaffer said he expects more
handicapped students to enroll
at -~ UK * as more housing
facilities will be needed.

Because of architectural
restrictions, male students
confined to wheelchairs can
only live in Holmes Hall, and
females are limited to Blazer
Hall. Holmes is a freshman
hall.

Schaffer said that Section
504 of the federal Rehabilita-

. tion Act of I973 requires the
University to add another non-

segregated dorm by I980. “We
have to have an environment

that changes for the older
students," he said.

The new apartment housing

under construction south of the
stadium will have facilities for
handicapped students.
according to Warren Denny.
director of Design and
Construction.
‘ “The University is doing
what needs to be done." said
Schaffer. “I realize it takes time
and money. In the next few
years there needs to be some
changes to accomodate the
handicapped student.“

Mark Pritchett, area co-
ordinator for North campus,
said he believes changes still
need to be made. but added the
attendant program is doing
well.

“This semester has started
off real well,“ Pritehett said. He
added several meetings were
held before the start of school
to discuss the attendant
program and handicapped
housing.

Some problems that were
discussed included defining the
Resident Advisor‘s role with
the handicapped students and
work on snow removal for
students in wheelchairs.

first meeting:

"EMMY,

  

 

 

class and park it outside.” he
said.

Which is exactly what Cross
and many other moped riders
are doing. However, according
to Padgett. since this practice
usually involves riding over
campus sidewalks, it violates
University rules.

Cross said he agreed in part
with the rules. because of
hazards to pedestrians in a
moped’s path. “However. the
rules about not riding on the
sidewalk (with the motor oft) is

ridiculous. because I know
from personal experience that
you can pedal a regular bike
much faster than a moped," he
said.

But Cross said he‘s not
worried about the new rules. “I
see motorcycles on the
sidewalks and they're much
more dangerous (than
mopeds).“ he said. “They don‘t
enforce the rules on them. so I
think the same will hold true
with mopeds.”
