A rew contraceptive device which acts
as a combination of the pill and an in-
trauterinary device t IUD) will be released
to the American public in March.

Anwar Hussain. associate professor of
pharmacy at UK. and co—inventor of the
dev'ne, explained that the new device,
"Progestasert, " is inserted into the ute'us
mcea year by a physician. The T-shaped
device then releases controlled amounts
(approximately 65 micrograms per day)
of progesterone, a female hormone. into
the uterus during the year.

Since the uterus, “the target area,"
receives the progesterone hormone
d'rectly. many of the side effects
associated with oral contraception are
eliminated, Hussain said.

"There has always been a problem with
pil toxicity." hesaid “On tie theoretical
basis. Progestasert shouldn‘t have any
side effects like the pill. The amount of
steroid released does not contribute to the
overall amount already in the blood-
stream."

Another important factor, said Hussain,
's that pilb use synthetic steroitb, while
Progestasert is the first intrauterine
hirmonal contraceptive, but it is also the
first based on a natural steroid hormone,
and curtains no estrogen.

Studies have shown that only 1 to 2 per
cent of the (two women teted became
pregnant. “Alza Corporation (which
markets and researched the drug) con-
tacted doctors all over the world to test the
dev‘ne,“ Hussain said.

Progestasert is already being marketed
in Mexico. Canada, Holland, Switzerland,
the United Kingdom and West Germany
have passed the requirements to market
the device.

The Alza C orporation announced Feb. 5 ,
that the Food and Drug Administration
approved Progestasert for sale in the US.

Husain coinvented Progestasert as a
senior scientist at'Alza with Dr. Takeru
Higuchi, currently at the University of
Karsas. Together they share the patent

-for the device. Two years ago, Hussain

came to Lexington and discontinued his
research.

House votes to rescind ERA,
bill moves to Senate

By GINNY EDWARDS
Managing Editor

FRAN KFORT—The Kentucky House of
Representatives yesterday adopted a
resolution which would rescind the state‘s
1972 ratification of the Equal Rights
Amendment (ERA).

A loud cheer went up from the
predommately anti-ERA crowd in the
house gallery as house Speaker William
Kenton (Diexington) announced the 57-40
vote. which came after nearly two hours of

emotional debate. _ .
An earlier attempt by rescssron op-

ponents to commit the resolution to the
Judiciary and Statutes Commit-tee; failed

39-57. Rep. Mary Ann Tobin ( D-Irvington)
moved that the resolution be referred to
the committee to study the' measure’s
legality.

“This motion would allow the committee
system to function properly,” Rep.
Charles S. Wible (D-Owensboro) said.
“There is a legal question which needs to
be answered and the proper committee to
consider this is the Judiciary and Statutes
Committee."

Wible said he questioned whether a state
could legally rescind an amendment after
ratifying it.

Councilmen oppose
extended bar hours

By MIKE MEUSER
Assistant Managing Editor

MONTY N. FOLEY
Kernel Staff Writer

An informal poll ofnine of the 15 Urban
County Council members Wednesday
revealed that five members would oppose
an extension of local drinking hours, if
such a proposal were to come before the
council.

Four other council members_said they
had not yet formulated an opinion on the
issue. (The remaining six members could
not be reached for comment.))

The pdl also revealed a growing
discontent among some council members
regarding administrative policy-making
procedures.

Although no formal proposal to extend
drinking hours has been made, Alcoholic
Beverage Control Administrator Stephen
D. Driesler said Feb. 5 that he expected to
make such a proposal before the council
later this month.

Driesler’s statements set off public
controversy.about the issue, which has led
some council members to question the
validity of Driesler’s arguments sup
porting the extensibn of drinking hours.

Driesler's main contention centerec
around a Louisville police report which
showed a decrease in that city’s late night
accident rate after drinking hours were
extended there.

Driesler also said that such an extensior
would have a favorable affect upor.
Lexington’s future conventidn trade, an
argument that many felt would have
considerable impact considering the near
completion of Lexington’s $46 million civic
center.

Some council members expressed
confusion about applying the Louisville
report to the Lexington situation.

Fourth District Council member Pam
Miller said since she has recieved no copy
of the report she has had to rley on the
media for her information.

“I‘ve never seen the Louisville report
and id really like to. It ssems we’ve just
heard alot of rhetoric. Our own police
oppose it, so that adds another com-
plication, Miller said.

On Monday the Lexington Herald
reported that Fraternal Order of Police
(FOP) President Bill Canan announced
the FOP‘s opposition to the proposal. But
another FOP spokesman, Assistant Police
(‘hief Espy Hedger, said he would support
a drinking-hour extension.

0f the council members who voiced
their opposiltion to extended hours, two
based their opinions on their constituents
inputs, while the other three based their
opposrtion on personal beliefs.

”0f the :30 calls l’v received, not one was
in fava‘ of extension,” Darrell Jackson,

‘Sixth District council member said. “I

have to to go along with the people’s
choice.”

Twelfth District Council member
Howard Palmer said that although he had
been contacted by various groups, he did
not base his negative opinion on their in-

lluence..
“A great many groups have contacted

me and all have opposed it,” Palmer said.
“Most of them were the big church
groups.”

Only one of the nine council members
contacted said that she had not received
feedback from her constituents. “I have
received notheing from my constituents,”
said Seventh District Council Member
Eleanor Leonard, whose includes Idle
Hour, Eastland, Kixie, Liberty Road and
Meadows.

Regarding Driesler’s contention that
extended hours would increase convention
trade, five council members said they
doubted that extra hours would have much
of an affect on convention trade.

“I’ve been to conventions in other towns
and neverwentout at 1 am. to check and
see if the bars were open, so I don’t really
buy that argument,” Palmer said.

Kentucky
wanted
the ERA
in 1972

(Editor’s note: The following is an
open letter to Gov. Julian Carroll from
the Pro-Equal Rights Amendment
Alliance.)

Dear Gov. Carroll;

in 1972, the 92nd Congress of the
United States finally passed the Equal
Right Amendment (ERA) after 49
ymrs of debate.

lnthe Senate, 76 of 84 Congressmen
supported equal rights. In the House,
331 of 354 representatives supported
equality under the law. This over-
whelming majority of learned men and
women then recommended to our 50
statesthat they ratify this amendment
and make it law.

Trustingthateach state would realize
theseriousness and high responsibility
of ratifying constitutional amend-
ments, Congress asked each state to
ratify once only and to stand behind its
ratification.

Kentucky, in a progressive and open-
minded move, ratifiedthe Equal Rights
Amendment that same year, 1972. The
Courier-Journal covered the
ratification process on its front pages.
Public hearings were held. Ken-
tuckians wanted equal rights in 1972
and were not afraid to put it in writing.

Valid surveys conducted by two
dtferent state universities in Kentucky
show that in this bicentennial year,
W76, Kentuckians still want equal
rights.

Our forefathers before us found that
it takes fortitude to persevere in the
faceof fear and emotionalism, and that
it ta kes courage to commit high ideals
to writing. But in 1776, our forefathers
penned the Declaration of in-
dependence, just as we, their sons and
daughters are signing an amendment
thatensures liberty and the pursuit of
happiness for all men and women.

We are sure that you, Gov. Carroll,
will reply to this letter by personally
andpublicly stating that Kentucky has
no second-class citizens and most
impa'tantty will express your com.
mitment and Kentucky’s to high ideals
of equality under the law, for all the
nation to see and follow.

Our only other choice is a nationwide
stabment that Kentuckians are afraid
of equality, will not endorse the Equal
Rights Amendment, and unlike our
foundhg fathers, will now renege on
their promise of freedom for all people.

Parking

Editor:

I am a iunior in the College of
Education and am very dissatisfied
with the present policy of ticketing
unauthorized parked cars. Honestly, if
you do not live on campus and have to
drive to school, where can you park?

Sure, the helpful, ignorant people in
public safety say to park in the stadium

lot and take the buses provided. But-

what they forget is that the buses only
run every 30 minutes and frost bite
cou ld set in before yOu reach the Taylor
Education Building for your 8 am.
class.

i realize that adequate .parking
facilities are not available, but why
penalize a person :2 every time he
eitperiences someone else‘s mistake.
Personally, I feel things were designed
in this manner so that University
persons would have a source of extra
income to help keep spending them
from their own. And to top the whole
mess at, in April the fine will be
boosted to 85.

I view the whole process as a classic
example of exploitation of the students
by the University giants. Let’s wake up,
unite and get our voices heard and try
to put an end to this insulting folly.

We are not the great and mighty

To hell with spending money on these
countries that don’t give a hoot about us
anyway. We cannot feed the world

LCC is
in the
tiny minority

By George Potratz

In the Feb. 16 Kernel (”South Hill,
Parking opponents picket Second National
Bank again”), Lexington Center Cor-
poration (tCC) Chairman and Second
National Bank PresidentJack Graves was
quoted as saying of the demonstration at

.his bank Feb. 13, ”i think that it’s a very
minute minority that these people are
representing. I doubt if 15 people out of
30,000 (UK students and employes) is too
representative.”

As Graves knows very well, it’s he and
his cronies on the LCC who are the tiny
minority. These men don’t parade around
on the sidewalk carrying signs and singing
”we shall not be moved.” They don’t have
to. And they prefer to do their business
indoors, asquietly as possible. That is why
Graves can say that South Hill was
”given" to the LCC four years ago (four
years, that is to say, before the Urban
County Council passed its ordinance
authorizing the LCC to acquire the land
there), while most South Hill residents
learned only recently that they were to be
thrown out of their homes.

Graves and the other wealthy men on the
LCC and elsewhere in power don’t want
people aware of what is coming down.
Their game of lining private pockets while
they play the rele of ”public represen~
tatives“ will only work as long as the
public sits still .for it, and they know it.
That is why Graves feels he must brand
those who are on to him as a ”minute

minority” of troublemakers standing in

 

 

 

At last. I finally have the scoop on the
Anselmo Pederasty case.

Those of you who were here two
weeks ago for the first installment of
this column may remember that it
began with two paragraphs of rather
paranoid criticism. Directed at the
editor of this newspaper, the criticism

Well, l was wrong.

My own immediate investigation of
the case led in a pretty strange
direction; which was why I chose not to
mention the matter last week. But
since that time, an "Anonymous
Spectator” has provided me with a
detailed acc0unt of the events leading
up to and surrounding the great Kernel
newsroom fire. And now I feel it is my

the dark, because the needless destruction
of over 100 housing structures in the midst
of a housing crisis can make sense only to
the small number of people who stand to
profit from it.

it is very important at this time that we
show Graves and the others behind the
proposed demolition of Pleasant Green-
South Hill that their oppostion is not dying

Feb. 6 it was 20 degrees and on Feb. 13 it
was raining, but through it a'. we kept a
spirited picket going for a total of seven
hours in front of the Coliseum branch of

ioumalistic duty (a la Daniel Schorr) to
pass this inside information to the
student body. The following narration,
then, is presented with the hope that
Kernel readers henceforth will possess
a better understanding of the internal
operations of their campus newspaper.
it seems that on the afternoon of
Friday, Jan. 23, the regular inhabitants
of and visitors to the newsroom of the
Kernel were lounging around their
respective desks and chairs, searching
fora p leasantway tofill the long, dead,
weekend hours until the Sunday night
deadlinefor Monday morning's paper.

Conspicuously absent was the editor-in-
chef

in the course of the afternoon's
repabrial horseplay, one of those who
were present produced a roll of toilet
paper,- and—exhibiting the traditional
comraderie between journalists and
their editor—it wasn’t long before the
newsroom crew had decorated the desk
of the absent editor with perforated,
twoply fabric.

At this point, a curious thing hap
pened: the editor walked in the door.

situation with traditional editorial good

His actions, clearly, were unfair. The

unasked question: ”Did (Jerry)

what the LCC gets away with. If, on the
other hand, you feel that it is hopeless to
struggle against injustice, if you feel
(wrongly) that the elimination of more
downtown housing doesn’t affect you, if
you feel (understandably) that you would
rather relax on Friday afternoon, or if you
accept the establishment’s stigmatizing
those who stand for the public interest as a
tiny handful of unclean radicals, you will
probably choose to ignore the whole
depressing mess. And that’s what Jake
Graves is banking on.

and to keep me from "offending” my

“twinkb.” Now, ldon’t know exactly
whata ”twinkle” is, but lam relatively
certain that Jerry Rubin doesn’t have
oneand that Larry Flynt wouldn‘t say
so even if he did.

But now down to business. A
professor of neurological survey and
psychology at the University of '
Washington (Seattle) says she has ‘
proven scientifically what men have
known s'nce the Model T: that women
with largebustlines are more likely to
be successful hitchhikers than are
women who are less up front about it.

In experiments conducted last year,
in fact, researcher Joan Lockard found
that by increasing their roadside
bustline with two inches of artificial
padding, women doubled the number of
rides obtained from passing !
motorists—from one ride in 10 attempts :
to one ride in five.

Professor Lockard, incidon‘ally. is :
now tryingto figure out a legal way to
cmduct similar experiments with male
hitchhikers. i

3 engineers who quit GE
testify about nuclear harm»

WASHINGTON (AH—Three engineers who quit their jobs to
warn of nuclear-power perils said today federal safety checks on
reactor controls are less stringent than those on toasters and hair
dryers. One said a dangerous reactor accident is likely by the year

2,000.

The three said nuclear plants in the United States are operating
with serious deficiencies and declared they don’t believe the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission is explaining to the public its
concerns about safety. One of the trio accused the commission of

suppressing internal dissent.

The engineers, who resigned from middlelevel management
positions at GeneralElectric’s nuclear division Feb. 2 so they could
focus attention on nuclear safety defects, testified to the Joint

received a B.A. at Austin College.

Vihfle working for a Ph.D. at
Yale. he taught Yale un-
dergraduates.

Breazeale enjoys his UK
students more than those he had
at Yale. "UK students are less
sophis ticated than the blase Yale
students. The UK students are
more curious. and as Aristotle
says. ‘Philosophy begins in
wonder.‘ "

Breazeale considers the college
experience as the most formative
years of a person‘s life. "I ask
students to examine their values:
to question their reasons for
coming to the University."

In the five years Breazeale has
been teaching, he, has seen a
change in student attitude.
"They are more cynical. less
ideaistic.“

Breazeale teaches two levels of
Philosophy; the Introductory
courses and Upper Division
courses "I prefer the intro
courses They‘re less formal and
not as structured as my upper
div'sion classes. Only the most
experienced teachers should
teach the 100 level courses. They

Lawyers guild protests
KBA Wallace invitation

By MIKE MEL‘SER
Assistant Managing Editor

The Lexington chapter of the
National Lawyers Guild has sent
a letter to the Kentucky Bar
Association (KBA) protesting a
KBA invitation to Governor
George Wallace to speak at its

annual meeting in Mav.
The group of lawyers and law

students said the speech would be
unfair on the grounds that the
KBA is not a “neutral forum for
Governor Wallace‘s opinions."
Thespeech is scheduled fir May
13, just 1 1 days before Kentucky‘ 5
first presidertial primary.

Some Democratic observors
havepbked him to make a strong
showing in Kentucky on the basis
of his busing issue stand.

Gufld Coordinator. Michael C.
Davis said that in addition to the
letter other action may be taken
alhtugh no definite plans have
been made.

"Possibly the guild chapter in
Lou'sville will join our efforts.
but that’ s all very tentative at the
moment," Davis said.

Davis also hinted that the
group may attempt to organize
some form of protest for the
iiieeti'ngitself. “There has been
talk about a picket at the con-
vention in May," Davis said.

KBA president Bill Kessinger
said he d'd not think the guild
actionmeritedanycomment. “It
won't affect plans for the speech.
I really don't even know who
these peopb are...I have no
comment.” Kessinger said.

J-Board selection process
subiect of code change

An amendment to the Student
Code that would require random
selection of J-Board members
was recommended to University
President ()tis A. Singletary
yesterday.

The .J-Board has .original
jurisdiction over student
disciplinary offenses and ap
pellate jurisdiction over
residence hall government
rulings. Members are currently
nominated by Student Govern-
iiient.

Announced Feb. 3. the
amendment was designed to
allow J-Board selection that
would give all UK students in
good academic standing an equal
chance of being chosen.

The amendment to the code is
the only one being considered this
year. said Robert G. Zumwinkle.
Student Gide Revision advisory
committee chairman. it will be
presented to the Board of
Trustees for a final decislion
along with Singletary‘s recom-
mendations. Zumwinkle said.
The board‘s April 6 meeting
would be the earliest date it could

be considered, he added.

Zumwinkle said a possible
problem With the amendment is
that it does not recognize
students at the Ft. Knox branch
of the l'niversity as candidates
for J-Boand. Formerly a Com-
munity College. the Ft. Knox
location now is under the
jurisdiction of the L'K—Lexington
Student (,‘ode. Schools in the
Community College system have
their individual Student Codes.
said Zumwinkle.

liaveto know a lot. They must
teach students a wide variety of
concepts instead of studying
particular theories."

He said he doesn‘t find it hard
to present material that he
personally doesn't believe. “You
learn as much about your own
beliefs when you study other
beliefs as you learn of the other
belief.“
