For anyone in Lexington looking for a
place to live, it comes as no surprise
that we only have a 1.1 per cent housing
vacancy rate. Four per cent is con-
sidered safe by national standards but
the situation in Lexington is becoming
progressively worse. Blocks of homes
were torn down for the civic center and
hundreds of families displaced while we
were forced to pay for their eviction
with the 44 million tax dollars it took to
build the new center.

In the face of a severe housing
shortage, the civic center now wants
adjoining streets like Spring Street torn
down for parking space and business is
successfully lobbying for three new
highways to be put through the middle
of town. All this will expand the
down town business area at the expense
of desperately needed housing for the
people.

Expanding and developing the
downtown and adjacent areas for
business means raising downtown
property values. Raising these
property values means protecting and
increasing the interests of those people
who own property there now. Raising
the property values also means getting
the people out because low and middle
income housing is not nearly as
profitable as construction for com~
mercial purposes. Asa matter of fact, a
scarcity of housing is healthy for big
business since it drives rents up (that
old principle of supply and demand)
and repair costs down. There is no need
to compete in a market where people
are forced to take whatever they can
get.

For all this we can thank our Ian-
dlords. Not the people who come to

 

Civic Center causes
housing shortage

collect the rent atthe first of the month.
He or she is just a disposable front for
the real property owners, which are
banks and financial institutions. They
hold the mortgages and make millions
off interest, land speculation and tax
shelters. Tenants and home-owners
alike are at the mercy of these banks
whose boards are made up of business
executives and local officials. These
business interests decided a civic
center would make more money than
housing. What, is good for big business
is good for the USA, right? They play
monopoly with our lives and homes.
Trade four houses for a hotel and move
six spaces forward.

Garvice Kincaid provides an ex-
cellent example of the role that banks-
business play in the urban process.
Kincaid controls the Central Kentucky
banks, is a major stockholder in First
Security banks, and owns large chunks
of downtown property, including
Central Kentucky Life Insurance. If is
no surprise that in his role as slumlord-
profiteer, he recently said he wants
houses on Spring Street torn down
as soon as possible in the interests
of "public safety.“ The people on
Spring Street still have a legal suit
against the civic center for the im—
minent destruction of their homes

without compensation or adequate
opportunities for relocation. Garvice
would like to see the area razed quickly
before people in other parts of the city
organize around similar demands for
an end to this destruction of property to
profit already wealthy landowners like
Kincaid, Stolls, Petit, Gross, etc.

All over the country tenants and
homeowners are organizing for the
fight to save their homes. They realize
that it is no accidental by-product of
Urban Renewal to eliminate small
businesses, isolate blacks and third-
world people within the city and destroy
ethnic pockets and close communities.
It is part of the American urban process
and perpetuated by business and
current governmental policies. An
Urban Renewal report on housing for
the US for I962 shows that in that year
the US. Government spent $820 million
to subsidize housing for the poorest 20
per cent of the population and $1.7
billion ——more than twice as much —to
subsidize housing for the richest 20 per
cent of the population. This was all in
the form of tax writeoffs.

This same study cites Urban Renewal
and downtown district renovation
projects all over the country as being
responsible for tearing down five times
more housing then they put back up, in

the years 1949-1962.
If the government were an ally in the

housing question, they would encourage
the build'rig of low and middle-income
homes with tax incentives and
government programs. The very least
they would do would be to maintain
safe, healthy housing as it exists, by
taking tax shelters and legal loopholes
away from the landlords who own
substandard housing. Health codes are
rarely enforced except as a weapon to
condemn property for things like
parking lots and raise public sentiment
against whatever neighborhood refuses
to part with their homes good

naturedly.
The needs of the people are not being

metwith civic centers and parking lots,
but profits are.

The People Not Profits Project is
made up of people who feel that housing
is a right not a privilege. Obviously it is
a right that we will have to fight for and
we can start by supporting the Struggle
of Spring Street and the adjoining areas
to protect their neighborhoods from
civic center sprawl.

Ademonstration is planned in front of
Garvice Kincaid’s house 400 Richmond
Road, at 4 pm. Oct. 27to demand a halt
to urban projects which are im-
plemented by those who stand to profit
from them and call for the destruction
of housing for people.

We are tired of paying rent for the
rich, and resistance of the people can be
as strong as any bulldozer.

Not Profits Proiect call 269-4425 or 253-

The latest in a series of negative
publicity events is a libel suit brought
against Flanders following remarks he
made on a nationally televised talk show.

Seeking to capitalize on Flanders' ap-
pearance, IBP had bought commercial
time just before his appearance on the
show. The ingenious publicity ploy back-
fired. Talk show host Benny Zeppini asked
Flanders whether the renowned Idaho
Baked Potato he invented over 40 years
ago had changed. Yes it had, responded
the 82»year-old Flanders with some
animosity. Today’s Idaho Baked Potato,
he said, was closer to "Hominy grits
diluted with water, wrapped in horse
manure and burned badly” than to the real
item.

IBP was understandably miffed. in the
commercial which had appeared just
minutes earlier, Flanders was pictured
eating an ldey Tatey with obvious relish,
and saying, ”it’s thumbsucking fine."

Success and age seem to have gone to
Flander’s head.

Fortune did not always smile upon
Flanders, who recently was acclaimed
The Most Famous Living ldahoan by that
state’s legislature, and whose original
store is now on show in the state’s Museum
of Industry or Culture.

Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, where
he still lives, in early life Flanders gave
little indication that one day he would
become rich and famous.

World War I found Flanders in Northern
Europe as a private, not a captain.
Ostensibly a member of the infantry,
Flanders was in fact a digger of trenches
and other earthernware artifacts of war.
Flanders' wartime service produced some
rather indifferent poetry and a disability
pension for an injury suffered when a
fellow worker’s latrine digging spade
severed a hamstring. The result is an
ornate walking stick used to correct the
world famous limp which IBP have
mythified as Flanders’ war wound in the
commercials.

Following the end of the war, Flanders
returned to Boise where —attracted by the
lure of the sod once again -—he sold burial
plots at a time when Boise was ex-
periencing the lowest death rate in the
nation.

Flanders’ bad luck changed to good just
aseveryone else’s turned to bad; during
the Depression. As the price of meat
soared, Flanders cashed in his meager
pension and with the proceeds opened a
small restaurant in downtown.Boise. The
billboard outside advertised it as Captain
Mortimer Flanders' Tater Pit, featuring
the world famous Idaho potato fixed in a
new way: baked.

It was true. Potatoes had indeed brough
Idaho world fame. Idaho potatoes ac;
companied Texas steaks and Maine lob-
sters, Virginia ham, and Kentucky spring
lamb in the nation’s finest restaurants.
The Idaho potato was admired for its size,
idolized for its consistency, and lionized
for its taste. it appeared on the most
exalted plates, crossed the most sensitive
of palates and disappeared down the finest
gullets. It did so french fried, sauted,
pureed, creamed, au gratin, and boiled,
with butter and parsley.

But until Mortimer Flanders opened his
Tater Pit, the Idaho potato had never been
baked. It was a revolutionary idea and it
met with phenomenal success. Flander's
potatoes were cheaply priced and he of-
fered a variety; they came plain, all
gussied up'with sour cream and chives, or
with cheese. Flanders even offered a chili-
tater and a Tater Surprise, filled with
chocolate fudge ice cream.

Flanders prospered; he became a
burgher of the city of Boise where he was a
familiar sight in his white suit, long white
hair flowing down his back, leaning on his
ebony stick.

But Flanders' Big Break did not come
until after the early 19505. Somehow word
of F landers’ storefront operation found the
ear of a group of New York entrepeneurs
who saw the possibilities; a Tater Pit in
every city of the States, international
expansion-potatoes require no
refrigeration, little water, and they
positively disdain horticultural care.

They bought the rights to the man, the
idea and most important, to Captain
Flanders’ image, and IBP was formed.
Tater Pits became the major revictualling
place in the country. Success bred success.

In response to military demand, IBP was
awarded a defense contract to supply
"potatoes, baked” to American troops in
Korea.

Flanders’ face and personage was
everywhere, in every commercial, on the
billboard of every Tater Pit. He was
named to the 1958 Best Dressed Men list. A
Gallup poll found that Flanders’ face was
more easily recognized than Vice
President Richard Nixon’s.

However in recent years, Flanders and
IBP have fallen out several times. Always
concerned with quality, Flanders has
advocated a policy of‘changing nothing.
”If it goes down good in Boise, then it goes
down good anywhere,” is his motto.
Flanders publicly disagreed with IBP’s
decision to use freeze-dried pre-prepared
potato shells and instant potato mix, and
was even more vehement when IBP
bought out Red Beret margarine, and used
it instead. of butter as a garnish.

So the latest difference of opinion is
hardly a‘surprise. But indications are that
both IBP and Flanders are sticking to their
guns. ”We can’t pay a guy a million bucks
a year to endorse a product and then have .
him go round badmouthing that same
product,” explained IBP President Joe
Novak. Flanders was asked how he would
defend himself from the suit. ”By proving
thatwhat Isaid is the truth," he answered.
"I’m going to get me a panel of experts on
the subject and give them the taste test,
and you see if they don’t agree with me."
And he chuckled.

Hearst attorneys
ask iail treatment

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Patricia Hearst‘s attorneys asked a
judge Thursday tohave psychiatrists treat her immediately at her
jafl cell, saying they believed such treatment is an “emergency
matter."

“It has been our position for some time that Hearst requires
immediate psychiatric care." said attorney Albert Johnson. who
appeared at an unexpected hearing in federal court.

He filed a motion asking us. District Judge Oliver J. Carter to
appoint a psychiatrist or allow the defense to choose their own
psychiatrist to treat Mis Hearst immediately.

“We viewthisas an emergency matter for the preparation of her
defense and her mental well being,” Johnson said.

The government did not immediately oppose the request. — f

Asst. US. Atty. David Bancroft told the judge that if the purpose
ofthe examination issolely for treatment. Miss Hearst is entitled to
such treatment. - I “,3

But he said if attorneys want it for any other purpose, he felt the
government should also have a psychiatrist there to examine her.

Johnson then told the court: “I know of no principle of law which
requires the court to allow the government to examine a criminal
defendant in a case.

“I desire treatment for the girl. [desire it now. I think it is im-
porta nt she have it.“

Johnson did not specify why he thought Miss Hearst needed
immed iate treatment.

He said that to restrict the defense to some sort of limitation as
the government suggested is inappropriate.

Caroline Kennedy escapes
injury in bomb explosion

LONDON (AP) —— A “very shaken" Caroline Kennedy narrowly
escaped injury and possible death Thursday when a bomb believed
set by Irish terrorists exploded outside the townhouse of a
crusadinganti-terrorist member of Parliament with whom she was
staying. A chance telephone call saved her.

But the bomb. planted under the car of Conservative Hugh
Fraser. a longtime friend of the Kennedy family, killed a
prominent British cancer specialist who lived next door. He was
walking his poodle in the quiet, tree-lined Campden Hill Square in
the fashionable Kensington district.

Seven other persons. including a Filipino woman who worked as
cook and housemaid for the Fraser family, suffered slight injuries.

Fraser. 57, was thrown out of a chair by the blast and his
forehead was slightly out by flying glass. He said the 17-year-old
Kennedy. daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy and
JacquelineOnassis, was in her bedroom when the bomb went off at
8:53 am. and hurled jagged chunks of his white Jaguar several
hundred yards in all directions.

Neurologist testifies

MORRISTOWN. N.J. (AP) .- A neurologist who specializes in
the treatment of coma victims said Thursday that Karen Anne
Quinlan‘s physical condition was too grotesque to describe. but said
no physician has the right to take steps that could end her life.

The testimony was by Dr. Sidney Diamond. one of three
neurologists presented by attorneys opposing a request by
Quinlan's adoptive parents that doctors be ordered to disconnect a
respirator to “let her die with dignity."

The trial recessed until Monday. when more medical testimony
will be presented.

l)r. Diamond testified that Quinlan will never regain thought or
control of her body and that she rests in a hospital intensive care
unit with her legs and arms drawn to her body in a way. “too
grotesque to describe in terms of the fetal position."

Quinlan. 21. has been in a coma for six months and her parents
assert they have the right to remove extraordinary medical
procedures that keep their daughter alive beyond hope.

“I‘m sorry if the description causes any anguish to the family."
Dr. Diamond said. turning toward Joseph and Julia Quinlan as they
sat calmly in the courtroom.

He testified that no doctor would remove the respirator that
maintains Quinlan‘s breathing because “no physician will in-
terrupt a life-sustaining measure."

Later the same week the
nudity question came up again in
the form of a nude scene in-
volving two women in the UI
Theatre Department's play "The
Meteor.“ “The Meteor“ was
allowed to go on unchallenged.

The administration‘s action
drew sharp criticism and charges
of sexism from students and
State Rep. Tom Higgins, the
Daily Iowan said.

Apparently because of the
streaker‘s action, the Daily
Iowan said. Boyd announced that
he has asked the advisory council
of the Iowa (‘enter of the Arts to
consult with the PI Cultural
Affairs (‘ommittee and draft
guidelines for future nude per-
torma nces.

Charges added

Handicapped students

receive special help

By Sl'S.»\N ltl'MBlJfiY
Kernel Staff Writer

It isn‘t ea s‘y to be a new student
on campus but when you‘re blind
and new as well. adjusting to
college lite can be nearly im-
possible.

When David Murrell came to
[K about 30 years ago no one
took his ami and led him around
the campus or accompanied him
to registration. There were no
braille textbooks or recordings of
books available much less braille
signs on buildings.

Small wonder. then. that there
were only two other blind
students at ['K besides Murrell.
“Some of my teachers gave me
the impression they thought a
blind person just didn't belong in
law school.“ said Murrell who is
now deputy public defender in
Frankfort.

He couldn't afford to pay
readers as often as he needed
them and when asked how he
managed to get through law
school Murrell said he still
wonders about that himself.

Today there are 23 blind
students at UK and conditions on
campus have improved a great
deal since Murrell studied here.

A rehabilitation materials unit
now records textbooks for
students and braille markers are
being glued on campus buildings.

Handicapped Student Services
(HSSl was established in 1970 to
”eliminate problems han-
dicapped students face and at the
same time make the University
aware of these problems." said
Jacob Karnes. Jr., HSS director.

Funds were made available to
hire Karnes by Dr. Robert
Zumwinkle, Vice president for
student affairs, when he first
came to UK five years ago.

HSS provides informal coun-
seling. screens applicants for
handicapped parking permits,
locates volunteers and provides
job placement information. The
campus placement office is
inaccessible to wheelchair
students. Karnes said.

His office advises the
University on eliminating ar-
chitectural barriers. which
prevent wheelchair students
from taking classes in certain
buildings and in the long run.
from majoring in certain fields.

Karnes said his office is
budgeted $10,000 a year to use
toward constructing modified
curbs. ramps. and other barrier-
breakers. "Ten thousand dollars
lS a reasonable sum but when you
look at} what schools in other
states are”doing you see how
much more l'K could no
complish

Nevertheless. [K is trying to
do something and eventually
we'll lick the problem of ar-
chitectural barriers." Karnes
said. .

'l‘wo t'K students are currently
compiling a list of buildings that
are accessible or partially ac-
cessible to wheelchair students

"While there are a lot of things
we would like to he doing in the
way ot expanding programs and
sew. ices tor students l am not
optimistic that the university
budgetary tIitIn‘e will permit
much more than simply meeting

the cost of living increases."
Zumwinkle said.

Karnes advises the Hair
dicapped Student l'nion illSUl
which was able to secure study
space in the Mt. King Library
where blind students can use
special equ1pment they need.

Originally they were given a
large closet but now the students
have two large rooms.” Karnes
said.

tine of llSL’s members. Dick
t‘ambron. a junior in
rehabilitation counselling who
uses a wheelchair. said his
organization isn‘t very active
because most handicapped
students are very self-sufficient.

They like to do as many things
that "normal" people do as
possible and attending han-
dicapped student meetings isn’t
something a “normal“ person
would do. Cambron said.

Of the 400 handicapped
students currently enrolled at UK
most receive financial benefits
from the Bureau for
Rehabilitation Services depen-
ding on the nature of their han-
dicap. patents‘ income. etc.

Kames‘ definition of “han-
dicapped“ includes orthopedic
disabilities, speech and hearing
defects, heart disease and other
hidden handicaps in addition to
blindness and wheelchair use.

“How difficult a time a han-
dicapped stu lent has at UK
depends on the individual. While I
assist students they must take
initiative in locating people to
push them to class. carry their
cafeteria trays, etc,“ Karnes
said.

Dick Cambron explained the
improvements Holmes Hall
made for handicapped residents.
“The clothes bars were lowered,
the showers modified, wall
phones re
