Bottles thrown

Bandmembers suffer injuries at LSU

By CHARLES MAIN
Kernel Staff Writer

BATON ROUGE. [AL—At least
two members of the UK band were
injured after their halftime per-
formance at Saturday night's UK-
LSU football game here. The
students were hitby objectsthrown
from the LSU student section.

Featured twirler Brenda White
was hit by a bottle and received a
one-inch cutabove her left eye. She
was treated at the first aid station
and released. Trumpeter Gerald
Benjamin received injuries to the
head and eye but received care from
some of the other band members.

According to band director Harry
Clark, both are “fine, but a little
sore." Clark said he “didn’t un-
derstandwhythestudents chose to
throw things" at the band but added,
“I guess it was just one of those
things.”

The throwing incident occurred as
the band was kneeling at the student
end of the field watching the LSU
band perform. A similar incident
occurred as the band was leaving
the field.

Volume LXIX. Number 43
Tuesday. October 18, I977

 

No injuries were reported, but the
band was again showered with ice,
cups and bottles as they passed
directly in front of the student
section when leaving the field.

The first incidence of violence had
occurred earlyin the second quarter
of the game, when three members of
UK's Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity
carrying a fivefoot sign reading
“Go Kats" were first showered with
ice and cups and‘then set upon by
several LSU students.

The attackers, who were not ex-
pecting the fight they got, were
successfully repelled by the AGR’s,
Dominic Peterson, John Hardaway
and Bryan McFarland. All three
escaped without injury and with
their sign intact.

Many LSU students who were in
attendance expressed their dismay
at the incidents. Sophomore Bryan
Yaw was particularly concerned.

“Please tell your people that we’re
not all assholes down here,“he said,
“ just because some students treated
your band like shit. We‘re notall like
that.“

James W. Reddoch was also con-
cerned over the incidents.

“I want to apologize to the
students at UK for the actions of the
students in that section and for the
lack of southern hospitality shown
your band members," he said.

Later in the evening, a building,
which housed part of the Univer-
sity‘s laboratory grade school,
burned. The f ire was discovered by a
group of fireman who had just
finished extinguishing a burning car
in the parkinglot of the building.

Though police andf ire department
officials saythecause of the tires is
unknown, one coed who was at the
scene said the car was “torched" by
an apparently drunken student who
was in the parking lot vandalizing
carsin a fit of rage over the outcome
of the football game.

The coed, who did notwantto be
identified, said the student had been
hitting several cars with ‘ ‘something
heavy" when an explosion occurred.
University officials confirmed that
some damage had been done to other
cars in the lot. apparently prior to
the fire.

2]

The incidents were part of an
unusually intense homecoming
weekend here, onewhich featured a
celebration that Reddoch called
“one of the most ambitious in quite a
few years."

Beddoch said.“Homecoming has
been declining in popularity here in
recent years, but the great success
enjoyed by this year’s football team
has given impetus to a student
movement to reemphasize its im-
portance."

The partying on Saturday af-
ternoon was furious, and by 3:30
pm, when the students began lining
up outside Tiger Stadium for the
game, they were in a frenzy. They
shouted and cheered and chanted
“tiger MEAT! tiger MEAT!" or
“GOTIII-gers! GOTIII-gers!”
almost nonstop until they were let
into the stadium.

The fury of the LSU fans was
fueled by the presence of aplethora
of demonstrative Kentuckians.
There were varying estimates of the
number in attendance,ranging from
Athletic Director Cliff Hagan’s
guess of 2,500 to the UK radio net-
work estimateof 5,000.

Federal funds threatened
Med School seeking partial waiver

By CRAIG DANIELS
Kernel Staff Writer

Officials at UK’s College of
Medicine are taking a dim view of
federal legislation that would
require us. medical schools to
admit American students who have
completed two years of study at
foreign schools.

The officials say the requirement
violates the school’s admissions
criteria and that could cause
overcrowding from the influx of new
students.

Because of the possible over-
crowding situation, University of-
ficials have decided to seek a
“partial waiver" of the
requirement. That action still
depends upon continuing
Congressional hearings about the
legislation.

UK’s medical school could lose
approximately $470,000 in federal
subsidies if officials refuse to go
along with the new regulation, ac-
cording to Tom Bishop, director of
finance for the school of Medicine.

The regulation requires US.
medical schools to accept as third-
year transfer students as many
American citiaens as possible who
havec ompleted two years at foreign
medical schools. If they don’t
comply, U.S. schools will lose their
eligibility for federal subsidies,

which can amount to $1.400 per
student.

He adds that thelaw is “unjust to
the students and the American
public. as well as the universities, in
not allowing the usual criteria for
admission to apply."

Clawson said that the establish-
ment of quotas and the assigning of
students represents “an in-
fringement by the government on
the admissions process of univer-
sities and medical schools.”

Dr. Roy K. Jarecky, associate
dean for academic affairs at the
medical school,questions the ability
of the federal government to
“determine admissions
requirements for medical schools or
any professional schools. The
philosophical issue here is terribly
important,” he said.

Jarecky addedthat “a potentially
severe overcrowding problem”
could result from the admission of
transfer students.

Indeed, Clawson said that current
enrollment of third-year students in
the medical school isat a maximum.
He suggested the addition of 10
students (UK‘spossible quota if the
law remains unchanged) could
significantly hamper the ef-
fectiveness of UK‘s program.

On that basis, Clawson said, UK
will seek a “partial waiver"of the
new requirements.

UK student tells of fall from cliff

By PATTY ROMERO
Kernel Reporter

”I didn’t have time to think."
Those words came from John Kulka,
senior history major from
Washington, who suffered a fall offa
cliff 140—150feet high, this weekend
at the Red River Gorge.

Kulka, David Oldham and Mark
Schlichman, all UK students, had
planned to spend an enjoyable
Friday night and Saturday morning
at the gorge. They camped near the
end of Tunnel Bridge Road.

“We were all sitting around the
campfire,"said David Oldham,
senior general studies major-.“We
had just collected some firewood.
Schllch had towork at the Student
Center that night, but he got to us
arwnd 2 am. John had just walked

over to the sandstone ledge for a
naturecall. It’s real easy to slip,"
said Oldham.

Okiham said heheard Kulka fall
about l2 feet away.“He didn't even
yell,he just said,‘0h Shit’ like it was
all over. I couldn‘t believe it when
we heard his voice. He yelled
somthing likehe was okay, I mean
it‘s so steep, 140feetl We didn't
know what to say."continued
Oldham.

According to Kulka, who suffered
a fractured vertebra, he slipped and
fell headfirst. “I remember doim
two somersaults. I thinkllandedm
my feet. I scraped alot of trees, but it
slowed down my fall which is
good."said the jet—black haired
patientas he reclined in the hospital
bed.

According to Oldham they
followed trail 201, at the end of

None] Bridge Road, where they
met Jere Butcher, freshman
agriculture economics major.

“Schlich saw him fall," said
Butcher.“'l‘he're wasn‘t anyway to
get to him. They were looking for
him but they ran into my campsite
instead. I had a topographical map
and I showed them were they were
and were John was.” said Butcher

“We decided to wait until
daybreak,” said Oldham.“We kept
oral contact with him until we had
agreed to wait until dawn. Whenwe
went to bed, all we knew was that he
had landed on his back, and at least
we knew he could hold on for
awhile," added Oldham.

As soon as the sky startedto show
a gleam of light, Oldham left and
contacted the State Police while
Schlichman stayed to keep Kulka

company.

“He never lost consciousness,"
said Schlichmn.“He didn't talk
much, not that I blame him.” he
added.

The State police radioed for an
ambulance andby 10:11) Saturday
morning Kulka‘s rescue was under
way.

Oldham said,“'l‘hey couldn't lift
him up on a stretcher without
hurting his back. They used me of
those metal stretcher: and pulled
him up by the ropes. They had him
out by noon.

"1 look atwhat happenedto him as
scratches compared to what could
have happened." said Oldham.

Kulka will be in St. Joseph
Hospital for a least ii week. “I'm
going to have to wear a brace or
something, but at least it didn't do
permanent damage," said Kulka.

Tim Slone's diatribe against the
United Mine Workers of America
tUMWAt warrants little in the way
of an answer to his arguments which
consisted mainly of calling the
I'MWA a disease. However. the
article has some interesting points
which I would like to bring up.

Slone is certainly correct in one
thing-the UMWA does bring out
bias. his article being a very con»
crete example. Slone's article very
clearly represents one side of the
question. that ofthe mine owners
and management.

Particularly interesting in his
idyllic representation of Brookside
before the UMWA was asked in. In
describing the condition of the mine

and camps where the miners lived
after Eastover ta subsidiary of Duke
Power (‘o.) took over operation he
says;

“During the first year I saw a
growing mining company and many
happy people. Then a disease in-
fested Brookside which was known
as the UMWA.

“These people began spreading
propaganda to these innocent, happy
people and soon my friends became
enemies."

Slone even claimed moral
degeneration was a result of the
organizing drive with an increase of
“foul language" and “stench of
alcohol" in the camps. t0f course
this couldn’t be aresult of working
conditions and the company‘s at-
titude toward miners.)

Anybody familiar with American
historywill swear this came from
preCivil War slave owners talking
about the joys of plantation life and
the dangers of black people being
free. The parallel is just too
striking!

Stone‘s attitude is just as pater-
nalistic. (‘alling mine workers

too stupid to be able to choose their

what hethinks of his“friends” in the

Letters to the editor

Today, ina fit of welzschmerz. I
have realized the one thing that
has impressed me the most about
this universitycommunity as a
whole: by and large. we've
become fiercely competitive and
almost frantically defensive.
We‘re quicker than ever these
days to categorize and condemn,
and draw hard lines between Us
and Them.

The most obvious manifestation
of this posture. of course. is the
growing rift between the
“greeks” and the “GDl‘s“.There
is no denying that we have come
to accept a person‘s standing as
either greek or independent as a
major statement about his con-
dition as a human being.

Independents see those cyrillic
letters and mutter. “there goes
one. of those slimy Sigma»
whatevers.” andthe grceks read
the Kernel and shout “why are
they out to get us?“

So where does that leave us?
Where are we whenwe don‘t give
it any thought? I submit that
we‘re nowhere at all.

 

Louisiana excursion
exposes campus rift

Until this weekend, I admit. I
was nowhere myself. I sat right
there in the StudentCenter (and
here in the office) and gnashed
and wailed,and I muttered im-
potently at cyrillics as a matter of
course.

So what happened?

This weekend. I found myself in
Baton Rouge for the football
game without an idea of how I
was to get back home. The team
plane, it seems,had lots of extra
seats on the flightdown. but none
on the plane coming back.

So. come game time, I was
wanderingaround Tiger Stadium
with my notebook, hoping toget a
few interviews for a story. My
suitcase was sitting in the press
box and I was starting to wonder
if I could afford to miss a few days
ofclasses. Ilitchhiking 900 miles
could takea while, I was thinking.

Then the cavalry showed up.
They came horseless, bounding
up the steps of the stadium
carrying a bedsheet with “UK
AGR‘s say: GO KATS'."

I told them who I was and that

they would soon be news, and they
told me who theywere and that I
would soon be drunk. They had
come to the game,it seems. with
12 fraternity brothers in a Win-
nebago.

Their ride was cramped, and
we were total strangers but,after
hearing my story. they offered to
help. As a result] was taken into
their company. We partied with
them after the game. andthey
drove us home.

In short. we had a great time..
Those 15 guys gave me somereal
insight into what being a
“brother" is allabout. and I feel
good about it.

Thinking back, I can see just
how sillyall this“greek hate“
bullshit really is. Why. I‘m asking
myself.should it take a situation
as extreme as this to show me as
basic aflaw in my own reasoning
as this one? Ain‘t college won-

unionism out of hand. only the in-
dependent UMWA that the miners
has chosen. He does support the
company dominated Southern Labor
Union.

So unions are okay as long as they
aren't independent and give the
workers some control over their life.
Again the paternalism shines
through.

Tim Slone and management are
certainly entitled to their opinions. I
think UK students and employes are
entitled to theirs and this article
makes it clear that a majority of us
have an interest in supporting the
miners against this new day plan-
tation mentality of the mine owners.

Clearly we should support the
miners side of the question.

that will be forming.

Fans dangerous

This weekend I had the immense
displeasure of attending the UK-LSU
football game in Baton Rouge, La. I
say displeasure not because LSU
lost, but because of the totally
atrocious and animalistic behavior
displayed by a portion of the LSU
crowd toward the UK band.

I don‘t mean the mild verbal abuse
normal of a high-spirited audience,
but actual physical in jury inflicted

upon members of UK band bya few
LSU supporters who are extremely
poor losers.

During halftime, while theband
was onthe sidelines watching the
homecoming show, the majority of
persons sitting in a lower level
student section decided to show their
lack of intelligence and
sophistication by pelting half the
band with trash and ice.

No one was hurt in this particular
incident. but the possibility was
there.

During the third quarter, the band
director was forced to escort 3 LSU
fan outof the stands because he was
a threat. When the game ended, two
band members were injured when
broken glass from a shattered
bottle, thrown by a LSU fan inplain
view, flew into their eyes. Sight is a
very precious thing and it is ex-
tremely fortunate that these two
peoplestill have theirs.

It‘s always hardto imaginepeople
treating their fellow man inthis
manner until you arethere and it‘s
actually happening to you. Most or
all of this abuse could have been
alleviated had the stadium security
been more responsive to the needs of
the band and the condition of the
crowd.

Instead. certain security per-
sonnel chose to answer our pleas
with statements like, “If you don't
like it, why don't you leave,“ or “I”
wasnt inuniform I‘d be up there
helping hem throw things."

The purpose of police atacontest
such as this is to protect and serve
everyone. not just to get into a major
college football game free andsmile
atall the pretty girls.

With this kind of protection one
feels safer on a dark street in New
Orleans‘ French Quarter.

I‘m sure this type of physical
abuse goes on between individual
fans. but it is magnified a lun-
dredfold when it, involves a major
university organizationlike the UK
band.

The people who would engage in
such abuseare only displaying their
ignorance, cowardice and absolute
lack of self-respect and
sophistication.

This band spent a greatamountof
time and money to puton a show at
LSU. In return weare treated in a
less than human manner and are
forced to leave oneof the loveliest
campuses of the South in fear and
indignation.

Though the number of persons
responsible for our treatment was
small. the people still managed to
destroy mostor all ofthe trust and
respect hat this organization had
for the LSU fans.

If we never return to LSU lam
sure this will be the reason and it
will be a great loss to those fans not
involved as well as the UK band.

I agree. I have no quarrelwiththe
introduction as an issue of Amato’s
poorly concealed ties with a

Democratic machine on both astate
and local level.

What does upset me was the
irresponsible manner in which this
particular incident was handled—
the press conference which
characterized WKYT’s holding of
the story as “suppressionof news."

The Graves campaign lost some
credibility by not checking on the
information given it by one source,
the reporter for WKYT who wrote
the story. If they hadchecked. their
determination thatnews wasbeing

by those in positions to know.
