left in the game Hoosier stalwarts
started leaving Assembly Hall at
lndiana University. It was all over.
Kentucky was beating their
beloved Hoosiers.

Now. some people are calling the
[K basketball team the best in the
country. And you know something?
They could be right.

Fifth-ranked Kentucky rolled over
fourth-ranked Indiana 66-51 at
Bloomington last night. Thus. UK
was able to extend the nation‘s
longest winning streak at 13 games.

the third time ever in Assembly

The game proved that the
Hoosiers are about four players
away from repeating as national
champions.

With guards Jay Shidler and
tarry Johnson bombing from the
outside. UK was able to build upa 21
point lead in the first half. Shidler, a
freshman from Lawrenceville. "1..
was particularly effective, hitting
several long range jump shots, in
eluding a 25-footer at the end of the
half . Both finished the game with 20
points.

Another key to the Wildcats’
success was their defense. lt denied
penetration by the lndiana guards.
and made life tough for center Kent
Benson. He got his points. but he
paid for them. Nine minutes had
elapsed before the Hoosiers had
registered their second field goal.

But the most amazing thing of all
was that UK was able to dominate
Indiana without skyscrapers Mike
l'hillips and Rick Robey scoring.

The two (HO juniors took only six
shots the entire evening.

With liobey and Phillips in early
foul trouble. off the bench came 64
senior Merton Haskins to play the
pivot. Kentucky‘s small, lightning

of Rupp's Hunts and it was about as

For example. Haskins had the
dubious task of guarding the 6-11

his job.

“We tried to anticipate their
moves inside,” Haskins said. “You
just have to block out and keep him

good enough tonight. i guess."

when the Student Senate voted
unanimously to approve the student
book exchange bill in early
in early November. they were really
asking students to make it a success.

At least that is what the sponsors of
the bill had hoped for.

“When students take their books
to the exchange they can choose
their own price." said Mark Benson.
Home Economics Senator. “We
recommend students remain within
a 50 to 75 per cent price range of the
original price. Students can receive

more for books“ and they can buy
them for less."

if a student buys his books from
the bookstores he could probably get
ahmt 50 per cent return when he
sells it. explained Benson. They sell
it for about a 25 per cent profit.

SG hurries through final meeting

Kernel Sta ff Writer

In a home-stretch sprint that
would be the envy of a Kentucky
Derby winner. the [K Student
Senate raced through its final
meeting of the semester. stopping
along the way to discuss some
frightening “rumors" around
campus and to advocate the
redecoration of ltupp Arena.

Both the rumors and the
redecoration came about as a result
of complaints made directly to
Student Government «SGl
representatives. according to the
sponsors of the moves.

()ne move deals with rumors
which. according to the legilation.
“abound" around campus con
cerning registration procedures
which supposedly might be used for

the 1977 Fall semester. (‘raig
Meeker. senator-at-largc. said the
rumors are that a new registation
system will be used which will
require that students list seven class
preferences. (tut of these.the
studentswill be guaranteed to be
placed in five.

According to these rumors (as
designated in the Student Senate
hill 1. students will also be asked to
select times in which they will be
available for classes. rather than
designating particular times and
sectiors for each class. From this
information a computer will then
select the students' class times.
teachers and sections

The bill requests that the
liniversity Senate Student Affairs
(‘ommittee make “a thorough in-
vestigation of this situation and
report its findings to the Senate

(‘ouncil and the Student Senate.“
However. a subsequent Kernel
interview with George Dexter.
associate registrar for registration.
revealed that the Student Senate
may be calling for action on a
matter which may not. in fact. exist.
Dexter said there is no plan to
change any aspect of registration
which would directly affect the

studmts.

team."

Hall thought Kentucky’s defense
was superb.

“We were very effective with the
man-to-man until we got in foul
trouble. then we went to the zone.“
he said.

But Hall saved his kindest words
for Shidler.

“He came out and played like a
veteran." Hall said. “I thought he
was the key for us tonight. He‘s an
unusual person. He‘s cool. He has
the ability to involve himself in the
game and not worry about anything
while he‘s on the floor."

And lU coach Bobby Knight. who
was tugging on his necktie a lot last
night said he d idn’t expect Shidler to
do so well.

“He was just the man they had to
have tonight.“ Knight said.

unsold books and checks on Jan. I9-

Sciences senior.

The 25 cent handling charge is for
handling and the workers." Benson
said. The Senate has appropriated
$100 for the p. oject.

If a student has bought books for
upper level courses that are not
offered every semester “we
recommend you sell it to the book
stores.” Henson said. Also if
students buy used books that are not
going to be used again. “we
recommend you sell it to the book
store.“ However. they will only get
about a :l) per cent return for it
because the bookstores haveto sell it
on the open market not in the store.
Benson ex plained.

“This has been tried at
Washington University in St. Louis
in their law schools for two years.
Benson added.

”We are not trying to cut out the

Blatant bias must stop

in obtaining abortions

As :he legal barriers preventing abortion
crumble this relatively simple operation still is
hard for many women to obtain because of
blatant discrimination.

Abortions were legalizled on the national level
in January. 1973 by the US. Supreme Court.
State laws that made it a crime to get an abort ion
except for the purpose of saving the iiiothcr‘s life
were declared invalid. as were .liose that
required abortions be performed in an ac-
crcditated hospital and those that ttated .‘I
woman must be a resident of the state where the
abortion is preformed

The Supreme Court said the [rumors of the
constitution did not intend for fetuses to have
constitutional rights. since such rights are
guaranteed to “persons.“ Still. politicians and
church persons feel the obligation to demand
antiabortion legislation.

.-‘:\id ‘.1. oral and et hical questions continue to
cloud the issue: but those in a position to
allev tat L t. e present inadequate condition must
rise above these tonsideraiietis to banish
discrimination in performing abortions.

More titan one, million abortions were per-
termed in the 1. 'itiied States last year. 11 per cent
more hart in 1974. National statistics show that
.30 'o Jiliper tent tdiction—Toolkit)i ofihe women in
need of abortions were still unable to obtain them
iii 197.3. three years a re? the Supreme (‘ourt
decision.

Resea rchcrs at the Alan Guttmacher Institute
say the reason for these startling figures is that
only one-fourth of all hospitals provide any
abortion services. And. more than one—half of all
abortions last year were performed in non—
hospttai clinics. \ylilt'll do not usually accept
women en welfare. and most were concentrated
in one or two of the state's larger metropolitan
centers.

vioiiien~ who statistics show are least likely to
rave] to obtain abortions—are unable to exer—
cise .lieir constitutional rights if they desire to
erminaie their pregnancies.

’I‘lie iicli always have been able to pay enough
o receive safe abortions: the poor, however,
often have had to suffer at the hand of the back-
s: reel abortionist.

The Supreme Court. which has been in-
strumental in striking down legal barriers to
women wishing to have pregnancies terminated
ruled this year that women could be reimbursed
under Medicaid for elective abortions. This
move to eliminate discrimination to the poor met
unfortunate opposition in the US. Congress.

In October, Congress passed the “Hyde
;\ll‘.t‘ll(llllt'nl" that would prohibit the use of
federal funds to pay for abortions unless a
woman's life is endangered by the pregnancy.

Ull (let. 2. a federal district judge, ruling the
ha n unconstitutional, said: “Others who have the
iizeansj :o pay for medical services are free by
virtue of our positive law to exercise their
constitutional right to tern.inaie their
pregnancies, but the needy. the wards of the
govemment. would by this enactment be denied
he means to exercise their constitutional right

The ruling has yet to be affirmed by the
Supreme Court. but it is unlikey to be reversed.
In fact, the Supreme Court issued a temporary
restraining order recently that lifted the Hyde
,-\ii:endment ban and directed the government to
emporarily pay for voluntary abortions for
women on welfare.

The answer to unwanted pregnancies is
education, particularly for, young people. This
idialistic goal, however. must be supplemented
with abortions that are available on a non-
disciiminatory basis, making medicaid funds a

The statistical probability of such

virtually nil. The Feb. 15, 1974

continuing into 1975. The Delia-De-

paper business of the. late Hodding
Carter Jr., historian and Pulitzer
Prize winner. was routinely audited
from 1954, when Carter endorsed the
Supreme Court desegration deci-
sion. until his death in 1972. His
successor, Hodding Carter, said:
"There was no way to prove
iharassmenii. Reputable account-
ants handled our books. We never
had to pay adjustments, but God,
what a nuisance."

.Ioving into the sixties. the IRS
began audits of civil rights lawyers.
Dr. Martin Luther King‘s allies in
Alabama. The audits increased dra-
matically in the last three years, as
blacks began getting elected to
political office. State Sen. U. W.

Nixon s aide Tom Huston to harass
iduilogical groups. Since most of the
Southerners were not on the enemies
list. and many were audited before
and after Nixon resigned. the IRS

is one-third the length of the FBI and
CIA summaries; despite Mississippi

The one congressional group that
has taken interest in the case is the
Ways and Means Subcommittee on

New York Democrat, has pressed
Alexander for an explanation.

Last March. after two inquiries to
the IRS about the Mississippi audits,
Rangel received a letter from
Alexander, which said in part: “I
assure you that we want to conduct
audits only to promote a high degree
of voluntary compliance with our
tax laws." As supportive evidence,
Alexander offered a “statistical

also claims that the audits were

Alexander denies improper IRS
activities in the south, but nearly
three score civil rights leaders and
black politicians were audited. and
many of them forced to defend their
tax returns in lengthy sessions with
agents. Rangel has met will. dilato

hunger strike.

Six days earlier in France. four
Iranian students were deported to
Sweden and two were arrested.

One cannot help but wonder. who
is behind the brutal attack on
Iranian students? What have
Iranian students done?

It isn‘t hard to answer these
quistions. “Savak agents bound and

states that "Savak was created in

us. then. that the Savak uses
terrorism and torture to achieve its
aims.

It shouldn‘t surprise us that the
Houston police conspired with Savak
and the (‘IA against the Iranian
Student Association. So we have a
pretty good idea of who is behind the
attack.

The next question is: Why"? What
have Iranian students done?

For one thing. the Iranian students
movement has supported the
Palestinian people’s struggle for
their home land. For another thing
the students hate called attention to
the, corrupt Shah of Iran.

The students tell us that Iran is 70
per cent illiterate, and the infant
mortality rate is 50 per cent. Instead
of using petro dollars to eliminate
these problems. the Shah literally
spends billions of dollars each year
to buy Cobra helicopters, Gruman F-
14 Tomcats and Boeing 707‘s.

Iran purchases more than 50 per
cent of the total US. arms sales
abroad. These weapons are then

As expected, ‘Tip’ O’Neill chosen
to succeed Albert as Speaker

WASHINGTON (AP)—
Houm Democrats, organizing
for the new Congress, chose
Rep. Thomas “Tip” O‘Neill of
Massachusetts on yesterday
to be their new speaker.

O‘Neill, an activist liberal.
was unopposed and was
nominated by acclamation.
with a token confirmation by
the full House to come in
January. He will succeed
Carl Albertof Oklahoma, who
is retiring from Congress.

Busing

The first all-out fight for a
leadership post since 1961 was
a four-way battle for majority
leader, the position which
O‘Neill has held.

The front runner. Phillip
Burton of California. had
strong challenges from
Richard Boling of Missouri
and Jim Wright of Texas.

The fourth candidate was
John McFall of California,
who became the center of
controversy after reports he

had taken gifts from South
Korean businessman Tong-
sun Park.

The Democrats also chose
Itep. 'l‘om Foley of
Washington to lead their
caucus. In that race, Foley
defeated Rep. Shirley
(‘hisholm of New York. with
194 votes for Foley and 96 for
Mrs. Chisholm.

O‘Neill said Sunday his first
action will be creation of a
committee to find ways to

upgrade the ethical code for
Congress and restore the
integrity of the Ilouse.

get through changes in
standards of conduct for the

the second spot as majority
leader.

Burton has been praised as
being the Houses foremost
legislative strategist.

Senate adopts new plan
for 123 district judges

FRANKFORT [AP] -— De-
claring that “we have to start
somewhere," the Senate Jud-
iciary-Courts Committee ap
proved a bill yesterday that
would set up 123 district
judges in Kentucky.

The plan, advocated earlier
by Supreme Court Justice
Scott Reed, also would auth-
orize 55 trial commissioners
as part of the revision of state
courts.

Sen. Willian Sullivan, com-
mittee chairman, said the
measure would allow $30,000
a year salaries for judges but
left unanswered ”for the pre-
sent," the pay for commis-
sioners.

Sullivan, D-Henderson, told
the committee “that the lead-
ership and the administration
have. been hacking away at
this thing and it is time we
took some action.“

Last week, in an address to
the legislature, Reed said the
123 judges and 55 trial com-
missioners “would be the
least required.

Gov. Julian Carroll, while
making no specific recom-
mendations on the issue, has
advised the assembly to pro
ceed conservatively.

Sullivan said it was his
understanding “the adminis-
tration is thinking of 110 or 115
judges.“

In calling for action, Sulli-
van said the House “will
move on this thing whether
we do or not."

The committee also report-
ed on favorably SB 10 which
establishes a small claims
division of each district court,
and SB 15 which defines the
circuit court as the court of
general jurisdiction.

Carter keeps open mind
on possibility of tax cut

PLAINS, Ga. [AP] — Pres-
ident-elect Carter said yester-
day that he’s keeping an open
mind on the possibility of a
tax cut next year, but he isn‘t
as certain of the prospect as
his newly selected budget
director.

Carter, preparing for a
series of face-toface meet-
ings with prospective Cabinet
members, said a tax cut is
“one of the possibilities, if the
economy needs stimulation,
and I think at this point it
appears that way.

“i wouldn't say it is virtual-
ly certain,“ he said, referring
to a comment Sunday by
Thomas “Bert" Lance, the
Atlanta banker he has chosen
to head the Office of Manage-
ment and Budget. “I wouldn‘t
put it that strongly."

Lance had said that the
choices to stimulate the eco
nomy are so limited that a tax
cut is “almost a certainty.“

“I’m deliberately keeping
my mind open," the Presi-
dent-elect said. “I have ad-
visers who are leaning in all
different directions, but I‘ll
waitandsee.”

Carter commented at an
impromptu news conference
that occurred after be cast his

elections. Carter’s younger
brother, Billy, is running for
mayor.

What Carter is waiting for
is the end-of-the-year econo-
mic indicators, which will
provide a look at the direction
the economy is taking.

The President-elect said he
has not gone into the details of
how large a tax cut might be
if he decided to ask for one, or
whether it would be perma-
nent or temporary.

But he said he will be ready

to move quickly when the
time for decision comes.

Lance, however, told The
Los Angeles Times that Car-
ter‘s economic plan will likely
include a tax reducation of up
to $15 billion, a jobs program
and tax investment credits to
spur industrial expansion.

He said the tax cut would
probably take the form of a
rebate on 1976 taxes, as the
quickest way to stimulate the
economy.

Carter did emphasize that
he has other options, includ-
ing some type of jobcreation
plan to stimulate the econo-
my and help reduce unem-
ployment, which now stands
at 8.1 per cent of the labor
force.
