House panel approves confidentiality, financial aid
By RON MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer
FRANKFORT — Two bills, one to
provide greater confidentiality of student
records and another to establish an overall
student financial aid program for higher
education, were approved Tuesday by the
House education committee.
The confidentiality bill, HB 408, was
unanimously approved by the 14 com»
mittee members present, Two minor
clarifying amendments will be attached
when the bill reaches the house floor.
Rep. Terry Mann (D-Newport ), the bill's
sponsor. said it would essentially mean
“no one could simply walk in off the street
and ask for a student‘s file and do with it
what he wants without the student's
consent."
ONE AMENDMENT. suggested by
Mann, was opposed by the committee. It
Community
Colleges need
more funds
By “ALLY IIIXSON
Kernel Staff Writer
LYK‘s rapidly growing community
college system is suffering from a lack of‘
funds. This is nothing new according to Dr.
Stanley Wall, vice president for com-
munitycolleges. who said the system ”has
never had adequate funding".
THE GOVERNOR'S budget awarded the
community colleges their request of
$104,000 for faculty salary catch»up.
However, this must be spread over a two
year period whereas the initial request
was for an additional $110,400 next year.
The community colleges also requested
$135,200 this year and $131,300 next year
for technical, vocational and occupational
programs. The Governor cut that request
to $54,000 for both years to be used for
upgrading the program at Madisonville
Community College. Both bills are pending
in the state senate.

would have given the institution more
discretion on access to records.
The original bill stated parents of
students “shall” have access to the
students’ grades and academic ac~
complishments. Mann’s proposed
amendment replaced “shall" with the
word “may."
Ron Robey, a UK student and member of
the Kentucky Student Lobby, said the
amendment was requested ”by someone
in the UK registrar‘s office" and would, in
some cases, give the institution selection
over release of records to parents.

The committee also approved HB 165
which provides a revolving loan fund for

All program funds shall be used for

Backyard nudity
Political maneuvering is often the means to an end.
The participants in this episode were William Sch-

Drive-In Theater.
Dixie Gardens. located in a rolling hills directly off
1-75 near Covington, had received complaints from
passing motorists and area homeowners. The
problem centered on nudity and intimate sexual
relationships depicted on the Gardens‘ screen.
Such attractions prompted motorists to park in the
emergency lane of 1-75 for a free viewing. Annoyed
local homeowners felt the atmosphere bad for
children playing in backyards.
In stepped Schmaedecke with BB 13, arguing such a
situation constituted a public nuisance and that only
patrons of the drive-in should be viewing the screen.
As a result, Dixie Gardens agreed to screen movies
in advance to delete scenes of sexual nature. Problem
resolved, Schmaedecke dropped the bill .
Schmaedecke maintained this was an attempt to
retain the movie, not censor it, but added nowdefunct
HB 13 was rather unfeasible. It would have taken an
Astrodome to block the Garden ’5 screen, because of
its location.
Dixie Gardens‘ management said its screening was
“strictly voluntary."

Letters to the Kernel
Not mindless group creatures
Regarding the opinion
presented by Ms. Beverly Jane
Stewart «Kernel. Feb. 25), I can
only say that I am amused. She
doesn't seem to be describing the
“Greek System“ that I am
familiar with.
She states that the ”Greek
System" turns fraternity men
and sorority women into
“mindless group creatures“. I
challenge Ms. Stewart to attend
the colloquium class in which I
am enrolled. and . after listening
to our discussions, tell the class
which of us are Greek or Greek
affiliated.
As to our “exorbitant“ fees,
may I remind Ms. Stewart that it
is cheaper for one to live in my
fraternity house than it is to live
in a dormitory, and one gets all
his dues paid in the bargain. Our
fees cover room, board, and
fraternity dues. Our “huge
profit” goes for expenses in-
curred through such projects as
Adopt-a-House and parties for
orphans and underprivileged
children. Indeed, it is a rare
occasion when we can afford to
buy the beer she mentions.
In regard to Ms. Stewart‘s
assertion that our forefathers
“would feelshame" at the idea of
the “Greek System“, may I
remind her that Phi Beta Kappa
was founded December 5, 1776,
not as an honorary society. but as
the progenitor of social frater-
nities as we now know them. My
fraternity was founded at one of
the first colleges west of the
Alleghenies. The students were
themselves pioneers. In fact. one
of the founding fathers of my
fraternity led one of the first
expeditions across the continent
to California in 1849.
I can always depend on my
brothers when I need them. They
are the greatest friends that I
have ever known, but there is a
great cross-section of per-
sonalities involved. Con-
sequently, we do not see eye-to-
eye on many issues. but we do
agree that Ms. Stewart's attempt
to degrade the “Greek System"
that we cherish was, to say the
least, poorly researched.
In closing, it has been my
experience that one only gets out
of the “Greek System“ what one

puts into it. It therefore seems
obvious to me that Ms. Stewart
spent no more time or effort
contributing to her sorority than
she did searching out the facts
before writing her less-than-
truthful account of Greek life.

Acknowledging the variety factor in marriage
By (‘ORLISS LAMONT
THE NEW YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE
Despite the vast outpouring of arti-
cles, books and symposia that attack
marriage, I believe that it is worth
saving: for its own sake. tor the chil-
dren, for the future of the nation and
for the continuation of the human race.
In every civilized society the family
still remains the fundamental social
unit. For the happiness and well-being
of children there is no adequate substi-
tute for a home and the love of a
mother and father. I wish it were pos-
sible for all men and women to experi-
ence the joy of having children and,
indeed. grandchildren. If marriage is to
survive, however. it must ht‘ trans~
formed into a healthier institution than
it has hitherto been.
Some 200 years ago William (‘owper
wrote. “Variety is the very spice of
life." But in discussions of monogamy
that adage has seldom been giving sut—
ticient attention. In most marriages, no
matter how well suited the husband
and wife, there is the danger of getting
tired of. even bored with, onc‘s part-
ner, not because he or she is intrinsi-
cally boring, but because we are likely
to become tired of anyone with whom
we spend too much time. This consid-
eration is relevant not only to marriage
but to the relationship between parents
and children, and friendship as well.
As D. H. Lawrence says:
Since you are confined in the
orbit of me
do you not loathe the confinement?
Is not even the beauty and peace
of an orbit
an intolerable prison to you,
as it is to everybody?
Many, perhaps most, divorces take
place because one or both of the mar—
riage partners feel that the matri~
monial orbit, which some cynics call
the monotony of monogamy. has be-
come too confining. Married couples
may find, after twenty or thirty years,
and especially after their children have
struck out on their own, that there is
little left to talk about and that psy-
chological strain may develop from a
loneliness a deux.
A relatlxe ot llllllt‘, after her husband
retired from business at (it) and was at
home most of the time, remarked
to me in some alarm that in her mar-
riage vows she had promised to take
him for better or worse, but not. for
lunch every day.
A possible remedy for too much mar-
ital tdgetherneSS is for both husband
and wife to enjoy contacts with others
of the opposite sex. Most husbands
and wives would be more contented
and relaxed if they went out occa-
sionally to dine, to dance, to walk or
go to the movies with ladies not their
wives and gentlemen not their hus-
bands. Whether extramarital relations
went furthcr would depend on the in-
dividuals involved.
Most of the extreme sex experimen-
tation that goes on at. present—youth
communes. wifesswapping and the
“swingers"—is based on the desire and
net-d for variety in sexual experience.
The same is true of the traditional
menage a trois, in which an unhappy
triangle becomes a congenial trio. And
the unceasing flow of how-to-do-it
manuals are concerned primarily with
the theme of variety in making love.
The need for variety in sex relations
is not a new discovery, but its recogni-
tion in the past has been rather sur-
reptitious and it is the man who has
usually enjoyed the variety. It goes
without saying that the double stand-
ard in sex relations must be entirely
eliminated: there must be full equality
between husband and wife in every
relevant way. This means that today
both marriage partners must openly ac-
knowledge the variety principle and give
scope to it in honesty and moderation.
I am opposed to promiscuity. The
husband would keep any sex life out-
side the family secondary to his alle-
giance to his wife: the wife would
always keep her husband first in her
affections. Both husband and wife
would continue to give their marriage
priority.
The US. statistics show that among
those who are divorced three—fourths
of the males and two-thirds of ‘he fe-
males remarry. This is one way in
which variety in marriage is obtained.
but surely it is not the best way. Di-
vorce almost always means a major,
traumatic crisis in which one or more
persons are terribly hurt. It is a drastic
solution to be utilized only as a last
resort.

Don't condemn those with different ideas
By BOBBI HOLWAY
After reading the editorial by Ms.
Stewart entitled “Greekszmindless
group creatures“, I feel compelled to
respond in an attempt to clear up a few
grave misconceptions upon which the
letter was based. As far as I'm con-
cerned, this letter does not find it
necessary to comment upon my per-
sonal views of the strengths and
weaknesses of the Greek system. The
topic is not only over used, but carries
as many opinions as there are people in
the world. In addition, each opinion is
ascorrect as the next. Rather, the issue
at hand. concerns confusing opinions
with facts and condeming others who
may not hold the same views as your
own. .
Ms. Stewart proceeded to comment
upon the “poor, unfortunate misfits
that must buy friendship and loyalty"
through their involvement in the Greek
system. She relayed that Greeks gladly
"relinquish their individuality, pay
exorbitant fees for the privilege of
brotherhood and sisterhood and are
instable so thathey must hide behind
'Greek letters.” The only concrete fact
presented to prove these outlandish
over generalizations was that she had
been involved in the Greek system and
that these things had happened to her.
.\IS. STl-IWART'S experiences with
the system may have very well applied
to her views-win her specific case. But
someone else‘s experiences in the same
system may not. Why should one
condemn the other?
If someone enters a relationship——
any relationship with the attitude that
they must pay for love and friendship
then they. like Ms. Stewart.are going to
be badly disappointed. Soon they
realize,as the editorial pointed out. that
friendships cannot be bought. No—
money can‘t buy friends, but it can buy
food , heating oil, rent. dishes, toilet
paper etc. which even Greeks use. As it
happens, each sorority and fraternity
does have a house and a house needs
money to keep facilities running
smoothly. As for dues, most
organizations charge dues to insure
that special programs and functions
can be financed. One fact—and one that
appeals to my father, is that living in
my particular sorority house is cheaper
for me than a dorm or apartment. I’m .
not saying that it would be appealing to
everyone else.
Ms. Stewart also commented that
while associated with a sorority, she
had to rebel against attempts by others
to steal her individuality. Funny
though. I never seem to have any
problems in retaining and utilizing my
individuality in any group I have been
associated with. Rather I find the op—
portunity to further develop my in—
dividual thoughts and behaviors; while
becoming more aware of the in-
dividuality of theirs—and becoming
more accepting of them.
MS. STEWART also stated that in-
security prompted her into joining a
sorority and that “Greeks are so in-
secure that they must hide behind
Greek letters." Has anyone ever heard
of being proud of an organization~any
organization in which they belong? Just
because some people seek a group due
to their own instability, that does not
mean that everyone who joins that
group does it for the same reasons.
I don‘t know what our pioneer fathers
would feel about the Greek system and
I'm. sure they wouldn‘t lose any sleep
over it. I’m also sure they wouldn't
waste their time putting others down
who didn't hold the same opinions. In
themselves, they were a group,
working, loving and fighting together.
They didn’t join together with the idea
1
ul-
I
Eugene Mthaesco
of buying friendship and love. They had
no fear of losing their individuality—
but worked instead as a group of in-
dividuals toward a specific goal.
Ms. Stewart has chosen her type of
lifestyle and I can accept her for that.
Why can‘t she accept me and other
Greeks for our choice of lifestyle?
Whenever someone likes something,
there is another person who doesn’t.
But each should have within them-
selves the strength to accept the other. I
concluded by asking Ms. Stewart
question she herself presented:
“CAN AN adult human being no
longer choose his own path to walk?"

only because his pointless empty

her viewpoint is written in a more

examining her comments it can
easily be seen that her criticism
of the Greek system was written
with complete disregard for any

Would prohibit forced busing
Committee approves resolution
By RUN MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer
FRANKFURT— After hearing
pros and cons of forced busing,
the senate elections and con-
stitutional amendments corn-
mittee favorably approved
Tuesday a resolution requesting
Congress to consider a Con-
stitutional Convention on busing.
Three persons spoke in favor of
the resolution and two spoke
against it. The committee voted
4-3 to send HR 29 to the senate
floor after hearing the
testimony.
The resolution passed the house
Feb. 8 by an 84-8 vote. but was
amended to exclude the request
for a Constitutional Convention.
The house version urges
Congress only to adopt a Con-
stitutional Amendment to
"prohibit the assignment of
public school students to a par—
ticular school because of race.
religion. color or national
origin."
THE SENATE committee‘s
action places the bill in its
original form calling for a
Constitutional Convention to
consider such an amendment.
Although arguments were
presented for both sides. op-
ponents of the resolution were
jeered and interrupted by the
approximately 75 members of
Save Our Community Schools
iSUCS‘. a Louisville based
organization. which favors the
resolution.
Fran Wagner. Lexington,
representing the League of
Women Voters of Kentucky,
opposed the resoution as not
being the answer to the busing
problem.
SHE .>\I)';\Il'l"l‘l‘ll) there is a
"definite problem“ with forced
busing. but said it is caused by
housing segregation problems
and busing is the only immediate
solution.
"We cannot afford to sacrifice
a generation or more of children
going through segregated schools
while we work for integrated
housing," Wagner said.
She said much public
resistance to busing has been due
to misinformation concerning the
effect on students and the cost.
WAGNER EXPLAINEI)
studies have indicated stu-
dents in integrated systems
rarely suffer education damage
and “sometimes they make
significant gains in desegregated
settings. Cost of busing easily
amounts to only .6-1.1 per cent of
the school system‘s total annual
budget. she said.
During her presentation
Wagner was repeatedly in-
terrupted by the packed gallery
of all-white. mostly female SOCS
members.
Richard Burr. a first year L'K
law student. also spoke against
the resolution because it would
lead to segregation.
“THE WAY I see this issue is
that it is between those who are
for equal education and those
who say they‘re for equal
education," Burr said.
One SOCS member interrupted
Burr and shouted “You‘re off
your rocker.“ She said the group
favors equal education for blacks
but does not want “anyone to tell
my children where to go to
school.“
Evidence supporting II R 29 was
presented by SOCS members.
Senators Mike Moloney (D-
Lexington) and Joe Graves (R-
Lexington) expressed concern
over problems of busing but said
it is the proper solution at this
time. Both voted against the
resolution.

formation on approximately 500
