University of Kentucky
Lexington. Kentucky

Ticket distribution remains
unchanged since last year

By an. LAWSON
Staff Writer

It seems UK students spend much of
their college lives waiting in some form
of line for one thing or another. And
the quest for football tickets is no
exception.

Ticket distribution for the Sept. 23
home season opener against Baylor
University will begin the Monday
before the game. The distribution
system will be the same as used for the
final two games of last season. In other
words, students will be able to get only
two student tickets.

Individual student ticket
distribution for the Baylor game will
start on Monday, Sept. 18 at 8 a.m.
and last until l0 p.m. at the right-front
ticket window of Memorial Coliseum.
A student must present his or her
validated 1D and activity cards to get a
ticket.

Referrals

if a student wishes to sit with
another student. he or she can present
two sets of ID and activity cards and
receive two tickets.

If tickets remain. distribution will
continue at the Coliseum the next day
from 9 a.m. to i2 noon.

Priority seating. those seats nearest
the 50-yard line (sections 208 and 210).
'will be given out on Monday evening
from 6 to ID at the left-front ticket
window of the Coliseum.

Married students who have
purchased spouse books can get two
tickets. Spouse books can be
purchased at the Ticket Office in
Memorial Coliseum from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. during the week. The cost is $36
per book (cash only) and a marriage
certificate must be presented upon
purchase.

Any tickets remaining after noon on
Tuesday will be sold as guest tickets.
Students may buy one guest ticket

galore

only. at a cost of $10. Distribution will
be from noon to 4 p.m. on Tuesday
and again on Wednesday from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. at the right-front Coliseum
ticket window.

A student holding two student
tickets and wishing to buy a guest
ticket. may exchange a student ticket
for a guest ticket upon presentation of
ID and activity cards and Slo.

Frank Harris. associate dean of
students. said he expects the usual long
lines for tickets. He expects people to
camp out to get a good place in line
and said he will be there “early in the »
morning” to supervise the long lines.

Harris said numbered cards will be
passed out to those who arrive early.
These cards will keep people from
cutting the line and help preserve some
order. Harris added the card does not
secure a place in line and students must
remain in line in order to get a ticket.

Local abortion facilities‘are limited

By PAUL MANN
Staff Writer

Late last month. a Bowling Green
jury acquitted Marla Pitchford on a
self-abortion charge. She had been
refused an abortion at a Louisville
clinic because she was six months
pregnant.

After the refusal. Pitchford
performed an illegal abortion on
herself.

(According to Kentucky state law, a
woman may perform an abortion on
herself if she is no more than three
months pregnant. But this procedure
must be supervised by a physician.
After the first trimester. the abortion
must be performed by a doctor.)

Could a similar situation occur in
Lexington? Are there enough abortion
facilities and available information
about abortion and birth control to
prevent similar occurances here?

For Lexington women. there are
limited alternatives when seeking an
abortion. Since there are no abortion
clinics in Lexington, women seeking
abortions must go to a private

physician. One way to get the names of
doctors who perform abortions is to
contact one of the local sexual
information clinics.

One of these information clinics is
the Rape Crisis Center. Susan Rice.
Rape Crisis Center director, said a
“significant number“ of calls received
at the center concern abortions.

The counselor‘s main objective is to
give the caller all of the possible
alternatives. “We don‘t advocate
abortions one way or the other," Rice
said. “If a woman wants an abortion
we just help her decide if it would be in
her best interest.”

They also counsel in person, if the

' woman requests help. If the woman
decides to get an abortion she is then
referred to the Planned Parenthood
Center.

The Planned Parernthood Center‘s
primary function is to educate the
public on birth control methods. They
also offer counseling on sterilization,
pre-natal care and pregnancy. Each
morning the center is open for women
to come in with urine samples to
determine pregnancy. if they are
pregnant and the child is wanted. the
woman is given exercises plus other
information on prenatal care. If it is
an unwanted child. the woman must
make the decision to put it up for

adoption or have it aborted.

The director of the center, Jan
Harmon, made it quite clear the center
is not an abortion clinic. “We don‘t
consider abortion a method of birth
control," Harmon said. “However. if a
woman comes to us seeking
information on where she can get an
abortion then we will refer her to
someone."

The center refers its patients to three
local gynecologists and to three
abortion clinics located in Louisville
and Cincinnati. The three physicians
are Dr. Donald Edger, Dr. Hamid
Sheikh and Dr. Philip Crossen. These
are not the only gynecologists
perfoming abortions in Lexington. but
they are the ones women are referred
to by Planned Parenthood.

The operation. done in the doctor‘s
office, takes l5-20 minutes and costs
about $200. Through Planned
Parenthood Center. abortions can be
performed at a reduced cost. but
Harmon said “each case is determined
by its own merit."

Dr. Crossen said he considers
abortions just a part of his general
practice. “We perform the operation
up to the first trimester." he said.

Debate team coach

looks to better yea.r

By IRIDGET Mel-‘ARLAND
Staff Writer *

After a disappointing l977-78
season. UK‘s debate team has high
hopes for the coming year. The
campus will play host to a national
debate tournament and several other
tournaments. and the home team is
one that looks promising to its
director.

For the first time in its 30-year
history, the National Debate
Tournament will be held at UK. The
American Forensic Association and
Ford Foundation sponsored
tournament will be held at UK and the
Hyatt Regency on April l8-22. The
tournament is held at a different
school each year.

Dr. J.W. Patterson. UK's debate

' director. said he expects 40 schools

with a total of 64 debate teams to
participate in the tournament.
Participants are either winners of their
local district tournament or one of the
24 at-large teams the National Debate
Boardchoosesonthebasisofpast
records.

In the past. UK has participated a
district winner and as an at-largeteam.
This year. the UK team will participate
in its district toumatnent in March.

Last year in the Novice National
Debate Tournament held at
Northwestern University. the UK
team of Jeff Jones and Jim Duffy took
first and second place speaker awards.
But outside the novice division.
Patterson said. the UK team was the
weakest in the past several years. In the
four years previous. UK had had one
of the best teams in the nation.

“I think we're going to be stronger
this year.” Patterson said. "Our
novices were good last year and this
year they are all back."

Next month UK will host two
invitational debate tournaments. Nine
teams. including a UK team. will
participate in the Thoroughbred
National Round Robin on Oct. 4 and 5
at the Camahan House. UK invites
teams on the basis of their past
records.

it‘s sort of an informal ranking
tournament.“ Patterson said. “My
debate colleagues tell me the Round
Robin is a coveted invitation.“

The Henry Clay Toumament will be
heldOct.9andllatUKandthe

all over the country will participate.

Judges for both debates‘will be the

It takes a three-fifths (60 votes) majority to cut off

On Tuesday. Sept. 26, two weeks
from today, eleven people will go on
trial in Fayette District Court for
allegedly “disrupting a public meeting
or procession.“ a Class B
misdemeanor under KRS 525.150.

We face this charge because we
dared to hold up signs protesting the
crimes of the CIA at a speech by CIA
director Stansfield Turner last April
l2 in the Student Center ballroom.

The University administration has
persisted in pressing charges despite a
petition signed by eight faculty
members strongly protesting our
arrests as a violation of our right to
free speech and despite a public protest
by the Central Kentucky Civil
Liberties Union.

We seek to defend ourselves. both
legally and in the public eye. Aside
from needing to raise money for our
legal expenses. we want to convey to
people in Lexington the true facts of
our case, as well as of the infinitely
greater repression presently being
visited upon the people of Iran by the
CIA-sponsored regime of Shah Ren
Pahlevi.

We cannot do these things alone.
We know that in protesting against the
actions of the CIA We were speaking

'Lexington 11'

anyone who can spare even a small

This is an open letter to the Shah of
Iran and President Jimmy Carter:

I am an American and since my
president won’t denounce you and
what you stand for, l and a bunch of
other other Americans do. I am
shcoked an apalled at the way you use
America‘s tax money to kill innocent
human beings and I am even more
shocked at Mr. Carter for allowing our
money to be sent over there. What Mr.
Carter should do is preach his human
rights in Iran and Uganda so
Americans can elect a president that
can lead the United States and take
care of our problems -— the ones he has
allowed to exist.

Mr. Carter. you are a one-term
president and a two-timing politician

grasping for lost public recognition.

After you finish holding hands at
Camp David how about giving us a
hand with a lot of problems to solve in
our own land. Quit sticking our
helping hands — and our money in
places like Uganda and Iran.

You are disgusting, Mr. Carter, and
fastly becoming very disgusting on top

schedule. . .it should be time to think
about more serious matters. But this
year I‘m stuck; things keep throwing
me.

I was walking up the Avenue of
Champions. trying to figure out what
was bothering me about the
resumption of all this essentially
pleasant, happy and harmless activity.
when I heard one pledge say to
another. “My big sister was my sister‘s
little sister.” I had my first clue to the
uneasiness I felt. I knew what she
meant. I understood the code.
Without thinking about it I had drifted
into that web of exclusive meanings.

Nobody living the other side of
Limestone would have understood her
statement, but I did — she wasn't
talking about her sister. she was
talking about her sister. And this
conversation was occurring on that
new pebbled sidewalk which is itself a
metaphor: a gapped air conditioning
duct cover. filled in with some kind of
putty. which resembles a sidewalk but
is a sidewalk only in a careless.
secondary way.

From that point it was easy to
detach almost anything from its
ostensible purpose: the stack of fresh
textboks. never to be read. indicating
studiousness; the faculty committee
meeting to display its committee-
Iikeness; that noisy little wheeled
machine. an inefficient broom
substitute, that blows dirt from the
imitation sidewalk; or, my favorite
campus machine. the University‘s
great. groaning. clanking trash truck.
which performs outside my office
window every morning —- pulling up,
flinging back its Iid, compressing its
hydraulic trash masher. skewering a
bin. hoisting it up, dumping it,
dropping it, mashing again — all to
dispose of 30 or 40 pounds of shredded
paper and cardboard boxes. What is it
but a machine demonstrating its
ability to impersonate a trash
disposer? What is Patterson Office
Tower but a discordant display of
bureaucratic inaccessibility? And why
not?

Ignazio Silone was
also a Wildcat

Hemingway. and the Honors Program
and the “sunshine laws” — all with an
audacity and authority which ought to
be illegal. if it weren't so much fun. .
.I’m not neccessarily speaking as a
person who believes in the real world.
or in a world realer than the world we
discover in what someone called this
“attenuated academic twilight."

I used to believe in the existence of a
political world. realer than others.
where purposes were real and risks and
consequences were real. But it is
increasingly difficult to‘see that world
clearly. apart from all that eagerly
sought conflict which turns our
newspapers. like those the essayist
Joseph Dennie read neary 200 years
ago. into “records of animosity."

In at least one way the academic
world is realer than others. It gives its
protected inhabitants as many
oppurtunities as they want to delve —
inquiringly. idly, self-indulgently —
into all those other worlds. A few
weeks ago I stopped at the Wisconsin
Historical Society, a fine research
library in Madison. to read some old
radio scripts. I ran across one by
Howard K. Smith. written when he
was reporting from Europe during
World War I]. (World War II, I939-
I945. maybe 40 million killed). The
script caught my eye because it had his
scrawlings and editing marks on it.
because — sent “Via Radiosuisse“ to
Time and Life, Dean Street. London,
in Wartime — it was tinged with
adventure. and because it had been
written in rapid fire. runon.
abbreviated cablese.

The piece was a quick profile of the
Italian novelist Ignazio Silone, then
living in exile in Switzerland. It began,

paperbacks of his novels. I found a
copy of Bread and Wine at the Student
Center book store, and I was surprised
to find that. As I walked around
looking for other novels by Silone I
noticed that I was not particularly
annoyed to find that they were
unavailable; I never intended,
apparently. to reread much of Silone; I
was engaged in one of those
participation rituals that we all engage
in. which is part of life in the academic
world.

Other people were in the bookstores
buying other books. which they
wanted to have around. or they were
gathering Wildcat shirts or Wildcat
cups or Wildcat pennants or Wildcat
sunvisors, and somewhere. sweating
and grunting under a hot sun, there
was a team called the Wildcats — and
none of this had much to do with the
condition of Italian literature.

All I‘m saying is that a university is
real to the degree that it admits all
kinds of reality and all kinds of
unreality. And it sometimes seems to
me that the University of Kentucky, an
institution that I have come to respect
because of the kind of people who
choose to spend their time here. may
he a place where unrealities are not
always as vigorously pursued as they
might be.

One day last summer I was talking
with one of the University's athletic
executives when with obvious sincerity
and complete" 1 cenviction he said.
“Athletics is the single unifying thing
that holds things togetherf" As an
observation that might seem a little
specious and predictable. We were
talking. after all, at memorial
Coliseum. But his remark is also an
intriguing proposition. Try for a
moment to think about another
“unifying thing that holds things
together" at the University of
Kentucky. Try to think of anything
that more people know more about
than the University‘s football team. or
feel prouder about.

Again, why not? But it seems to me
that as these local interests become
more and more dominant (so a
bookstore — excepting the splendid
indifference of Sqecial Media — which
has no Silone is in far less trouble than
one that has no Wildcat visors) the
university as a community tends
increasingly to Iok inward. and to fail
to pursue the other unrealities. The
web tightens. The world outside
becomes the world outside. when to
the members of a university
community. there should be no world
outside.

Ignazio Silone was a Wildcat too.

 

I don‘t want to leave the impression
that I object to any of this. I participate
wholeheartedly. The day after I found
myself walking around impersonating
a professor with more serious matters
on his mind I found myself back in the
classroom. going on and on about
Milton and Locke and the English
press in the l700‘s. about Benjamin
Franklin‘s scheme for electrocuting
turkeys to make them more tender.
about Cato‘s Letters and how to write

I suppose it was the “panda eyed”
and “voice soft as adriatic breeze.” as
characteristics of a man so courageous
politically, that appealed to me. and
the fact that Silone had recently died.

In any case when I returned to
