the dormitory rooms at the Kincaid Home detention center are now
nearly empty since the juveniles were transfered to the Fayette County
Jail. ’l‘lic controversial firing of Kincaid's counselors and administrative

stall prompted the move.

have been lobbying to restrict use of
their published material to those
who pay for the rights.

Nearly all copyright owners are
licensed with the Performing Rights
Society, giving them authority to
collect their royalties The three
main societies are: American
Society (f Composers, Authors and
Publishers (ASCAP), Broadcast
Music. Inc. (BMI) and Society of
European Stage Authors and
Composers (SESAC). I

Besides demanding payment for
copyrights (which gives its owner or
author exclusive rights to perform
or publish the work), the new law
extends the copyright period to the
author‘s lifetime plus an extem‘on
of it) years. The current period,
including the extension, is a total of
56 years.

tithe work is anonymous, the new
law stipulates the copyright period
is 75 years from the date of
publication or 100 years since its
creation, whichever is less.

The only copyright payment
exemptions are so highly specialized
that UK will probably not benefit
from them, Elste said.

’Ibese exemptions includeuse of a
particular work in classrooms or
religious services, presentation by a
governmental body, use in a non~
profit agricultural exhibit (such as
Future Farmers of America) or

transmission by an educational
system, directed to an audience of
blind or otherwise handicapped
persons

”The law is aimed at prdit-
motivated groups of persons,“ Elste
said.

“For example, if Jimmy Buffet

sings someone else‘s song in con-
cert, he may pay the royalties” she
said. “But (concert) contracts
usually stipulate University
responsibility for such paymen

Another exemption 's it the per-
former is not paid for his (or her)
performance and no admission is
charged, or if the admission charged
is for an educational, lel'gious or
charitable benefit. Even then, the
cqiyright owner has the option to
charge royalties although it is
unlikely that he (or she) would do so,
Elste said.

Infringement of this law results in
stiff penalties. First, the royalty
must be paid, plus a fine ranging
from $250 to $10,000 per violation. In
addition, possible criminal charges
may be pressed, Elste said.

“Figuring out how this law will be
administered is the problem right
now," said MaryJo Mertens,
Student Center Board (SCB)
director and chairwoman of the
National Entertainment and
Campus Activities Association
(NECAA).

After accepting the fact that the

Mertens has been ill constant

“If we went according to

“That’s why we need to negotiate."

Legal Aid director
was fired for suit

the charges against him were “not
justified."

Also on Aug. 24, Hunter filed
charges against Distler with the
(‘ivil Service Commision. Holifield,
who was to face similar charges,
rtsigned in protest of that action.

immediately following the
departure of the two, Hunter and
(Tommisioner of Public Safety Bert
Ilawkins requested that the 11
juveniles held at Kincaid be moved
tothe county jail.

Fayette County Judge Paul
(Iudgcl, citing an "emergency
situation“ at Kincaid, subsequently
issued a court order directing that
transfer. The order was cosigned by
Juvenile Court Judge W. Anthony
'l'odd.

()n the following day (Aug. 25),
Fayette County legal Aid Director
('lyde Simmons filed a class-action
suit in Circuit Court asking that the
juveniles be removed from the jail.

Simmons, who said he was
“concerned over the seemingly
insensitive treatment of (the
juveniles) l was charged with
defending," contended that the
housing of the juveniles in the jail
violated state law, and was contrary
toa wealth of judicial precedents
and could cause “immediate and
irreparable damage” to them.

Simmons suit, submitted jointly
with Legal Aid attorney Ernesto
Scorsone and Human Rights
(‘ommission attorney David
Weinberg, was based on K.R.S.
208.120, which states, in part:

“No child under 16 shall at any
time be detained in any police
station. lockup, jail or
prison...(unless) in a room or ward
entirely separate from adult
prisoners."

The suit named as defendants
Gudgcl, Todd, the Lexington-
Fayette Urban County Government
andJaila' Harold Buchignani, and
asked for a “temporary and per-
rnanent injunction" against the
housing of juveniles in the jail.

After a barring on Aug. 26, Circuit
(IourtJudge N. Mitchell Meade, who
alsopersonally inspected the floor of
the jail where the juveniles were

being held, dismissed the suit and
ruled that the juveniles could be
housed in the jail temporarily. until
suchtimc as “adequate provision"
could be made for “their transfer to
a facility suitable for the housing of
juveniles."

(Meade has since altered his
decision. On Sept. 6 he expressed
concern over the county govenr-
ment‘s failure to act quickly in
making plans for a new juvenile
detention facility. He ordered that
the case be reopened.)

()rl Aug. 31, Simmons met with
Legal Aid Board Chairman Lyle
ltobey in Robey's office. At that
meeting, Simmons said ltobey in-
formed llim that, because he had
filed the suit, he would be asked to
resign on the following day. at the
regular meeting tithe board.

Simmons said he told Robcy his
resignation “would not be for-
thcoming" and left the office.

According to the confidential
minutes of the Sept. 1 board meeting
(a copy of which the Kernel has
obtained), the board held a heated
debate on the subject of Simmons
firing. After a tie vote, the firing was
approved on a second ballot.

Robey said he asked the board to
fire Simmons. not because be had
filed the suit, but because he had
“viola ted longstanding board policy
not to file that sort of crusading,
knight-inwhite-armor suit. "

Robey further stated that, in a
meeting with Simmons and board
member Julius Rather on Aug. 18.
Simmons had mentioned the
possibility of a suit being filed if the
juveniles were moved to the jail.
Robey said he. and Rather told
Simmons at that time “not to get
invdved suing anybody."

Simmons claimed this was not the.
case, and that Rather had said to
him, “Clyde, you sue whoever you
need to to get your job done.“

Rather and Robey insisted that it
was a long—standing policy of the
board not to file class action suits
and that Simmons had violated that
policy.

Wicker analyzes

blackout

Ity MARY ANN Bl’t‘llART
Kernel Reporter

The looting of New York City
during the power blackout there this
stunmcr is a sign of a cancer in
American society, said Tom Wicker
last night.

Wicker, associate editor of the
New York 'I‘ililes. told a Student

the steps needed to deal with that
l‘flllCt‘l‘.

‘l‘herc are several rcasors for the

\I‘ickcr. ()nc, they can‘t be expected
to act out of a miikile class
huekgrmmd that they haven‘t had.

Sicondl y. they don't have a stake
in society, and aren‘t interested in
upholding and protecting that
society. Third. the present un-
dcrc loss is different than all d those
previous to it. This is the first time in
history that the imderclass has been
unable to better themselves, he said.

There are two reasors for this
irnnmbility,cmtinucd Wicker. The
greatly changing nature d our
economy and the jobs it offers along
with a pervasive racism in America
both repress lower classes, he said.

Tuesday‘s Kernel editorial on
affirmative action and the
California “Bakke” decision at-
tacking itshowed a confusion as to
what was the real euphemism
concerning the term “reverse
discrimination."

Affirmative action was said to be
often a euphemism for reverse
discrimination. in reality, calling
affirmative action reverse
discrimination is a cuphemistic
statementof rascism and sexism
and is a way to maintain
discrimination of blacks. other
national minorities and women.

The editorial claims that the sole
rationale behind affirmative action
is to "compensate for centuries of
racial and sexual discrimination"
and expresses the naive view that
“racial tension will not disappear
until we learn to disregard a
person‘s background and look
more closely at his (in original)
abilities."

lloweve r, this view overlooks the
hard fact that racism and sexism is
not only a century old problem. bit
a concrete problem that is part of
peoples‘ backgrunds
Schools are still segregated and
courts are ruling against
desegregation eases brought to
equalize educational opportunities.

Minorities being segregated in
theworstschools lead to only60 per
cent if black high school students
graduating; for Chicanos. 45 per
cent. For whites. the figure is 80
per cent.

...--_,.. -o

Blacks, working class youth and
women continue to be tracked into
discriminatory programs. The
wage gap between blacks and
whites in 1976 was wide—with
blacks earning 76 per cent of the
average white family. In 1914,
women oarned56 per cent of what
men received.

minorities and women are getting

calling on everyone to unite to
defend a quality education for all
