Claim Hospital Is 'Political Plum9

SIPS Criticizes Med
By MICHAEL WINES
Kernel Staff Writer
Leaders of a newly formed
steering committee of the Students for a Democratic Society
(SDS) called for a general reform
of the UK Medical Center at a

sparsely attended meeting Thursday night.
The 20 students present heard
attack on the
a
Medical Center administration
from senior steering committee
members Lew Colt en and G.S.
Pope. Colt en accused the center
of taking a "deplorable" approach to students and the community despite generally excellent medical facilities.
"It's fine to get sick between
nine and five Monday through
Friday, but Just get HI any other
time and try to get anything more
than a splinter taken out of your
finger," Colten said.
Colten also argued that the
Medical Center had direct ties
with the Lexington Police Department, the Lexington city attorney, Dean of Students Jack
Hall and President Otis A. Sinsharply-worde-

it's not getting any better," he
said. Colten added that some
people with infectious diseases
were denied treatment at the
hospital. "At whims they treat
who they want, when they want
. .'. not in all cases, but a lot of
them," he said.

Center Management

Pope said other students had
been denied inoculations against
viral hepatitis at the center. He
also attacked what he termed
"long waits" in the emergency
room of the facility.
Students' personal histories
were a sore point with Colten.

He claimed that they were
"available to anyone" and that
"close to 50 undercover police
operate at the Medical Center
for a number of reasons."
Mismanagement Claimed

He also accused the hospital
and University administrations

He declined to elaborate on
the connections except to say
that they were "administrative"
and not financial.
'Shoddy' Treatment Criticized
"Our object is to show what's
happening to the Med Center
as it's connected with city government and the University," he
said.
Pope claimed that the center
was guilty of "shoddy" treatment
of patients.
"It's a mediocre hospital and

of improper management of the
facility.
"This school uses the Medical
Center as a political plum
a
supportive department for federal
grants," Colten said.
Another student attending the
meeting claimed the center could
cover only about 20 percent of its
debts, as compared to a national
average of 80 percent.
Steering committee members
agreed to gather reports of hospital inefficiencies which would
be documented and "presented
to the right authorities."
"Things that are occurring
over there are really monstrous
really enormous," said Colten.
He claimed that the points outlined during the meeting were
"minimal" complaints.
A new steering committee was
announced at the meeting to recomplace the old
mittee which was disbanded last
semester. One member of the old
committee reportedly was faced
with loss of a bank loan unless
he resigned from the organization.

er of the UK chapter of SDS,
dropped out "for reasons unknown" to Colten.
New Committeemen Named
Joseph Maguire, Kevin Hill
and Steve Bruegge occupy posts
on the new steering committee,
in addition to Colten and Pope.
Hill emphasized that the group
would take a more "militant-activist- "
approach this year, especially with regard to the military.

Coffeehouse Series Cancelled, Merger Of Boards Planned

Overhaul Slated For Student Center Board
By BOBBI BARRETT

Kernel Staff Writer
The last of the Coffeehouse
Series will be seen this Saturday

night.
Starting at 10 p.m. in Room
206 of the Student Center, the
program features professional
musicians now in rehabilitation

therapy at the National Institute
of Mental Health and Research
Center.
Two groups, the "Goldsmith

Trio" and "Soul Partner Review," will perform the Coffee-

house finale.
Lack of funds is given as the
major reason for the end of the
series. The four Coffeehouses
given this year totalled close to
a $4,000 tab, a goodly chunk
of money to take from the Student Center Board's shoe-strin- g
budget.
But money, of rather the lack '
of it, is not the only problem.

less than adequate becauseofthe
noise and other competitions that
the performers must overcome.
Room 2 15 doesn't quite make
it either. Mr. McNullty, the advisor to the Student Center Board,
commented, "Room 245 is a pretty sterile place, and using the
and blacklists just
posters
makes it look artificial."
The acting Chairman of the
Coffeehouse
Rita
Committee,
Hinton, said the lack of participation was the real reason

behind Saturday night's

begin-

ning of the end.
"All the Coffeehouses this
year have been real good. True,
the groups are relatively unknown, but they are up and coming. The last ones, the "Mara

This board operates with
money allotted from the University. The Student Activities
Board, on the other hand, is
and organizes activities that are campuswide.
With two boards operating in
the same area with the same intentions, there has been a great
deal of overlap and consequently,
a waste of people, money and

been inefficient, but it has caused

The film should do more to
make people understand the destruction of freedom in Greece
today than could a thousand

And the similarities to foreshadowing events in this country makes the drama all the more
frightening. In "Z" there are the
government efforts to eradicate
the Black Panthers, the murders
of the Kennedys and King, and
the political assassination of
United Mine Workers presidential contender Yablonski. In "Z"

Baptists, Catholics Debate Cost
Of Funding Parochial Schools

By WILLIAM BRADFORD
Associated Frcss Writer
FRANKFORT
Constitutionality and alternative costs
concerning state aid to parochial
schools were debated at length
Thursday, with some words extolling competition in education.
Sharply opposing viewpoints,
largely pitting Baptists against
Roman Catholics, were set forth
on an equal time basis at a public hearing on House Bill 198
and Senate Bill 128. Those bills
would have the state pay up to
70 percent of the salaries of certain lay teachers in parochial
schools in Kentucky.
The House chamber where
the hearing was held was
Jammed, as were the gallery,
aisles and doorways, as more

tucky constitutions in helping

The Catholics called upon former state Atty. Cen. Robert
Matthews, now a Louisville lawyer who has the Louisville Catholic School Board as a client,

to dispute the constitutional

ar-

gument.

Matthews, who helped draft
the bills in question, said it was
up to the courts to determine
the constitutionality of legislation, and that the legislature
should concern itself only with
the wisdom of a law.
He said the bills in question
were "a logical extension" of
busing for parochial students and that a federal
court had upheld the constituthan 1,000 spectators strained to tionality of a Pennsylvania law

'Available Alternatives9
Should Teachers Strike
By SY RAMSEY
Associated Press Writer
FRANKFOR- T- Supt. of Public Instruction Wendell Butler
told local school superintendants
Thursday that in any teacher
strike "no board of education to
our knowledge" has punished a
teacher for taking part.
He sent a memorandum which
he said was to provide the superintendents "with information
available alternaconcerning
tives" in the event of a walkout
sponsored by the Kentucky Education Association.
The KEA, incensed at what it
considers an inadequate $300 per
biennium teacher pay increase
approved by the legislature, is
holding a Delegate Assembly
meeting at Louisville Saturday
to decide on a possible work
stoppage.
Butler's memorandum seemed
to make no particular point and
he concluded with this statement:
"Due to the many possible
varying situations existing in
Kentucky's 193 school districts,
it is practically impossible for
me to suggest or recommend any
definite course of action which

would be applicable statewide."
Strikes Nothing New

The state official said a teacher strike is nothing new in the
commonwealth.
"We have experienced several
of these in recent years, one of
the most recent and longest having occurred in Pike County district," he said.
"When this event transpired,
the attorney general . . . advised
that public employes do not have
a right to strike." The attorney
general also said the refusal of a
teacher to continue classes on a
duly designated teaching day
could be considered by a local
school board as ground for terminating the teacher's contract.

He informed superintendents
that the law blocks teachers from
any pay when they are participating in a work stoppage and
added:

"If a sufficient number of
teachers walk off the job, it will
be necessary for schools to be
discontinued in the district on
that day or days and the day or

LKD IS COMING!
ENTER

Ruberg, school board chairman
in the Covington Catholic Diocese, said full funding of the bills
would cost the state $14 million
the next two fiscal years. It would
cost $100 million to educate the
same children in the public
schools, he added. But Harold
secretary-treasurexecutive
Sanders,
of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, took issue with
the description of aid to parochial schools as a "bargain."
"Every case in history" involving aid to parochial schools,
he maintained, was followed by
increases in taxes and more parochial schools opened to take
advantage of the situation.
The Rev. Paul Shepherd, a
Methodist minister from Louisville, noted that 75 percent of
the students in Holland were in
public schools until that country gave aid to parochial schools.
Then the percentage in public
schools dropped to 30, he said.
And passage of HB 198 or SB
128, he said, "would be a signal
for the Roman church to expand
and enlarge its programs and
facilities at public cost." .

* Reason Why

Once upon a time Cov. Louie
Nunn was attributed with saying
that Kentucky's youth were her
most valuable natural resource.
A statement of that magnitude
is enough to fill any student's
heart to the bursting point since
it hints strongly of added emphasis
on education in the state's future.
After all, wouldn't anyone take
every measure necessary to preserve
and expand his most valuable natural resource?
Apparently not, if we are to
judge from the budget alloted education for the 1970-7- 1 biennium.
Our peerless protector of youth
in Frankfort has shaved UK's appropriation to the bleeding point.
Another turn of the legislative
tourniquet, according to UK President Otis Singletary, would be di
astrous to the once promising future of the institution.
As it is, he says the University
can do little more than remain
stagnant during the next two years
if we are saddled with this
financial girth.
One legislator thinks the answer is a doubling of state tuition
rates, which he has presented in
the form of a bill to the General

m Kernel
Petition Support
Considering the notorious action taken
by Student Government President Tim
Futrell in vetoing the recent S. G. election reform bill, and the absurd editorial
in the Tuesday, February 10th issue of
the Kernel backing that action, one could
write volumes of protest.
Due to length limit on letters in the
Kernel, I will say simply that in spite
of his published statements, there is absolutely no way that his action can be
justified as being in the interests of the
majority of students on this campus!
The whole point of the vetoed bill is
that the election, by coinciding with
Spring Registration (in both time and
place), is thus likely to involve more
students and thus be more representative-ostudent opinion. The necessity of the
election taking two weeks rests with the
fact that registration itself takes two
weeks.
students are concerned
Hopefully,
enough to sign petitions being circulated
in the Student Center calling for the
assembly to repeal Futrell's veto, and that
these same students will stand up for
their rights by attending the next S.C.
meeting.

Some Corrections
I would like to correct a few errors in

the article on the Student Government

Marshall is not a Student Government
representativ e, but an executive assistant.
Secondly, he did not say, "Rut the real
problem is the communication between the
corridor advisors and the residents," but
rather, "The major problem is communication between corridor advisors and the
residents and people in Student Government, such as trying to find out what all
the problems the people in the resident
halls have and, alas, to tell them what

It is crucial that the American
people bear this in mind in view
of dreadful predictions now being
made about drug addiction. To cite
one such, the president of the New
York State Council on Drugs forecasts that "within a couple of years
every high school and every college in the country will be inundated by heroin." Another authority predicts that 40 to 60 percent
of elementary students will be frequent users of either marijuana or
heroin in a year or so.

Supports Fraternities
In response to Education Sophomore
Rosemary Morgan's retort on frat men's
dual interest in "boobs and booze" (Feb.
10), it might be wise to take a little time
out to study the internal structure of a
fraternity before making rash judgments
from the exterior observations. Granted,

there are a few in every Greek system
who take little heed in their actions, even
if they do become detrimental to a fraternity's reputation. Rut it is within the
MAJORITY of each group that one finds
certain perpetual bonds that unify each
member to a very noble and convincing
goal.
Unless you have or do belong to a
Creek fraternity, Miss Morgan, I find it
impossible to find much justification, if
any, in your complaints. Some fraternities
may romp and rage on weekends, but are
you there to scrutinize their actions during the week? It's too bad that you and
the people who share your viewpoints
do not follow up your statements with
a genuine interest in learning more about
the Creek system. Think about it
it
might not be a bad idea.

Ya'U Come
Widespread opposition has been ex- -,
pressed to the veto of the Student Government bill "That All Might Participate," an election reform measure which
would guarantee all students the opportunity to participate in SG elections.
I would urge any students who have
been denied their right to vote by long
lines and insufficient time in the past
to circulate one of the petitions asking
the Assembly to override the eto, and
to call any member of the Stud mt Government Assembly they may know and express their feelings on this matter.
Any students are welcome at the meeting, which will be in Room 220 of the
Commerce Ruilding, at 6:30 Thursday
evening.

Kernel Soapbox
By JIMMY L. FLECLE
There are times in the course of student government activities when a person (any person) stops and, of necessity,
reflects upon the flavor of campus politics. It is in times like those that the
true personalities of certain student gov-

ernment celebrities come to light.
In one such instance last Sunday night
our reverred President of the Student
Interests vetoed a bill that would have
given more voting opportunities to the
UK student body. Instead of woiking for
the student, our top executive proved
that he is interested solely in the advancement of his own personal political

inteiests.
Looking at the incidents leading up
to Mr. Futrell's veto, a person may somewhat casually surmise that, somewhere,
somebody is falling down on his job.

Here is the history of SG Rill 1969-5SC Rill 1969-5"That All May Participate," was put on the Student Government agenda in December.
