UK urges employees to form car pools

By CHARLES WOLFE
Kernel Staff Writer
BECAUSE ()F the fuel shortage, faculty
and staff members are being encouraged
to relinquish their “A" and “B“ parking
permits in favor of a car pool program
developed by the Public Safety Divisron.
The announcement came in a Jan. 4
memorandum by President Otis A.
Singletary, and has been incorporated into
University Parking and Traffic
Regulations.
The memorandum made four basic
stipulations:
—a car pool must include two or more
persons. each of whom must be eligible for
an “A“ or “B" parking permit.

Wall car pool members must turn in to
the Parking Office any parking sticker
presently held.

e—a car pool permit entitles the holder to
park in any “A" or “B" parking lot.

r-riimproper use of such a permit will
subject the violator, including any person
involved in the misuse, to a fine ofSlOand-
or loss of car pool parking privileges.

Pl'Bl.l(‘ SAFETY Director Joe Burch
could offer no estimate of the program‘s
total participation. but said early response
had been surprisingly heavy.

“We've had a lot of calls and about 13
applications." Burch said. explaining that
most were from people living on the out-
skirts of Lexington and in surrounding

communities such as Versailles and
Georgetown.

He added that a computerized Iocator
service is being developed to assist those
desiring to form car pools in finding other
interested persons.

Bl'RCtl SAID the $24 cost for a car
pool permit would be divided among the
members of the pool and paid through
payroll deductions each month. A card-
board pass would then be issued to be
displayed inside the car and alternated

from car to car within the.pool.

Burch also said most "A“ or "B"
stickers are already purchsed through the
payroll system. and persons making he
transition will have no difficulty. However.

for those who purchased a permit in a-
vance. a pro-rated refund is available.

For those switching to the car po»
program. Burch said the individuals m2.
enjoy different advantages.

"FOR AS “A" permit holder." he sai
“the incentive is less money. For a “P
permit holder. the cost is the same as
was previously. but the parking is a litt
better."

If at any time a car pool member
unable to utilize the pool and is forced
drive alone, his only alternative will bell
free parking lot and shuttle bus service .

Results ofa survey taken Dec. 16 and 17
showed 46 per cent of students questioned
were opposed to the new proposed meal
plan. This plan would require each student
to buy $500 worth of coupons to purchase
food items separately in the cafeterias.

The survey, conducted by the Dean of
Students Office and Student Government.
consisted of five questions. It was
distributed through corridor advisers to
students in undergraduate residencce
halls

STUDENTS EXCLUDED from the
survey were those on scholarships who
would not be paying for their meals. Of the
4.320 questionnaires distributed, 56 per
cent were returned.

The questions were designed to deter-
mine the student's understanding of the
new plan. his opinion about it. and how
adoption of the plan would affect his
presence in University residence halls
next year.

Of the students surveyed. 25 per cent
were in favor of the plan. 46 per cent were
opposed. and 29 per cent were undecided.
More than half of the students indicated
they understood the plan completely. The
survey also showed 49 per cent plan to
return to residence halls next year. but
only 32 per centwould do so if the new plan
is adopted.

A COMPARISON by sex showed 56 per
cent of male students favored the proposed

plan while only 30 per cent of the fema‘
students favored adoption

other," said Jack Hall. dean of students

questions as totally objective as possible.
have never taken a position. I personall
feel the new meal plan provides an equitj

Hall said in talking with various student
he found they were mainly concerned witt
two problems: the inability of som-
students to manage the tickets. and th:
quality of meals under the new plan.

Imposed energy diet
puts U.S. on right track

Washington is imposingan energy diet for fuel-gluttonous
Americans. It goes something like this—reduce speed, form
carpools, take fewer pleasure trips, save gasoline. This
seems a scrimpy menu for such a car-crazed nation. And it
is, if you‘re as crazy as most driving Americans.

Realizing this, the Federal government~ added some
reverse incentive for those who comply. States that didn‘t
comply would lose their federal highway funds. This
“taking candy away from a baby" attitude was not ap—
precia ted by some politicans, but it did get results.

Kentucky is one of the newest fuel watchers. House Bill
184, passed Monday, will set a maximum speed limit of 55
mph. on public highways. The bill, if passed by the Senate,
will take effect by March 1. Other states are expected to
follow suit.

So now that all of us will soon be dieting, what can we
expect?

A little more time on the road, but a bettenchance of
getting there.

The sixteen states that had reduced speed limits last
November reported a 19 per cent drop in traffic fatalities,
compared to a two per cent reduction in the remaining

states.
Saving lives while saving fuel....we seem to be on the
right track.

It is obvious that America has been wasting energy and it

 
   
     
  

Go to class

I have done a grade analysis which may
interest students and faculty. The day
before Thanksgiving 33 of my 250 students
showed up for their 3 pm. class and I
passed around a sheet of paper to get their
names, After compiling final grades I
compared the grades of the 33 with the rest
of the class.

The average of those attending was 3.2
compared to 2.0 for the others. Forty
percent of those getting A‘s were there
before Thanksgiving; none of those who
failed was there.

The way to get the most out of a course
with the least amount of work is to attend
class and pay close attention for 50
minutes. This is as true now as it was when
I learned it as a freshman.

I realize I must work on my problem of
boring presentations in a monotone
(thanks to a comment on the teacher
evaluation forms). However, con-
versations with other instructors in
beginning courses have indicated that the

'Suitable' degree

Unfortunately in your December 13, 1973
issue in an article entitled “Med School
will accept 108; MCAT and 3.4 GPA
required,“ by Mindy Fetterman there is
one g' aring error. The article states that a
liberal arts degree program in the College
of Arts and Sciences is a necessary
prerequisite to be admitted to Med School.
This is not true. A suitable degree from
Engineering, Agriculture, or any other
program is acceptable so long as certain
minimal requirements are met. In my own
department, we havea number of students
completing pre—Med and Chemical
Engineering requirements
simultaneously. Such a student will
receive a Chemical Engineering degree
and a very useful background for medicine
and dentistry.

took a crisis, real or imposed, to make us react.

WASHINGTON — The U .8. government,
so richly endowed with armies, police
forces, agencies and commissions, wants
yet one more official instrumentality, the
sad lack of which many readers may not
sufficiently appreciate. Our government is
without an Egg Board.

Fear not. Rep. Ed Jones of Tennessee
and a large group of his colleagues have
introduced a bill that will remedy this
tragic deficiency. HR. 12000, when passed
as it inevitably must be, will create an Egg
Board and a number of other mechanisms
which will permit the assessment of five
cents on every case of commercially
produced eggs. The money will be used for
the welfare of egg producers by such
means as ”advancing the image or
desirability of eggs, egg products, spent
fowl or products of spent fowl through
organized consumeroriented campaigns
or programs."

In other words. the power of the
government would be used to create a
mighty egg producers trade association

you to eat eggs. l'nder the provisions of the
law, the Department of Agriculture would

“WE‘RE ASKING the government to
allocate to a specific industry the powers
of taxation which are reserved only to
Congress." says Jim Fleming of the
United Egg Producers Association. As
dangerous as this mixture of public and
private may seem, Fleming is asking
nothing more than has already been
granted to cotton, wool, potatoes, milk,
California plums, olives, almonds, dates,
tokay grapes, and nectarines, not to
mention Texas grapefruit, Hawaiian
papayas, Florida celery, Oregon onions,
and more.

The egg people have a problem. In the
last 20 years, per capita consumption of
eggs each year has dropped from
something like 389 to 292. Some of that loss
is due to the fostering of the cholesterol
hysteria, some to the disappearance of the
family breakfast, and much to the soft fats
and grain industry that has capitalized on
both phenomena at the expense of eggs.

As Fleming explains it. the egg industry
is at a disadvantage because it must sell
its product quickly. without processing
and packaging. pretty much as it comes
from the men. but having any good way to
build additional cost into an egg either by
withholding them from the market or
tricking them up. Fleming contends that
his people have never been able to amass

A QUIRKY SITUATION. Money has
produced a large, unnatural demand for
products for which we have no natural
need, and the lack of money has caused the
need to stimulate a demand that ought to
be natural to us.

A similar situation obtains with cotton.
Cotton, like eggs, is grown by tens of
thousands of small and large-scale

' producers whose major competition is a

few giant chemical companies like
DuPont, The synthetic fiber manufac—
turers have a huge marketing advantage
over the cotton farmers unless the farmers
can unite to compete with the whole line of

hundreds of ways that a supplier can help
his customers exploit his product.

least as important as the hippies in making

DAVID COX, Cotton, Inc.'s vice
president for supply and demand, re-
marks that “We're trying to become an
agro-industrial business." In the
marketplace they must operate in, you
can't blame them. but isn't there a better
way to do this? Aside from the fact that
government organization of private trade
associations is yet another extension of
power that is already too powerful, such
combines will by their very nature attempt
to raise prices by controlling production
and marketing. In addition, their
promotional activities have to be
inherently wasteful and inflationary. Who
needs to pay to be told to put a shirt on his
back?

Both the cotton and the egg people are up
against near-monopoly competitor in—
dustries. But instead of granting them a
license to restrain trade, wouldn‘t it be
cheaper a nd sounder policy to break up the
existing monopolists'.’ The big cereal
people‘s sole contribution is to use their
power to kick up prices.

Beyond these particular t omniodities. it
seems that our whole economy is
penetrated by similar, invisible, seldom-

to the (Iross National Wasted Product.

MADRID—No one doubted the out-
come of the trial of the “Carabanchel
Ten,“ who have been sentenced to
twelve to twenty years in prison for
their labor activities—attempts to or—
ganize workers: to improve wages and
working conditions, conduct that is
protected by civilized gox ernments.

The trial of the men, known as the
(‘arabanclicl Ten because nine of
them spent eighteen months in Cara»
liaiichcl Prison on Madrid‘s r-titskirts
awaiting trial, began in an atmosphere
of tension and fear the day that Pre-
mier Luis ('arrero Blanco was assas~
sinated. presumably by Basque sepa-
ratists, and tlldt'd the day he was
buried.

There was not a shred of evidence
introduced that the defendants had
en en committed the crime with which
they were charged.

The ten were accused of having held
an unlawful meeting on June 24, 1972,
and had been arrested in or near a
convent outside Madrid. After their
arrest all were held in Carabanchel ex-
cept for the Rev. Francisco Garcia
Salve, who was taken to a special
prison for priests at Zamora—an ac-
tion that itself was a cause of wide—
spread protest.

None of the defendants was charged
with acts or threats of violence,
but only with a ”struggle to insure
that social and economic demands
set forth by the workers be met.”
No evidence was introduced that the
ten had even committed so heinous
a crime as to meet or do anything,
whatever their concern for the plight
of working people.

In the trial before the notorious

Tribunal of Public Order. a court cre-
ated for political crimes, the Govern-
ment did not present a witness, nor
produce a single document. It stood
on the police charges and the inquisi-
tion of the defendants. The police
were nameless, faceless. absent; they
could not be confronted or cross-
exair.ined. Each defendant denied
wrongdoing. Most spoke sincerely,
articulately, even nobly until cut off
by the court, which demanded yes-
or—no answers. The defense, seeking
to call scores of witnesses including
the Cardinal of Madrid, was limited
by the court to three who testified
only briefly.

Most of the ten had not known or
heard of one another before they met
in prison. Most were not strangers to
arrest or prison.

Marcelino Camacho, who is 55 years
old and the best-known leader of the
Spanish workers” movement, had been
president of the state labor syndicate‘s
metalworkers section. Between 1966
and 1972 he was arrested twelve times
and tried and convicted three times
for labor activity that would be legal
in every Western democracy. He spent
five years in prison; blacklisted by the
Government. he could not find work
when he got out. The court sentenced
him to twenty years, the maximum

term.

times since 1968 without trial. He
says he has been brutally tortured.
He got nineteen years, as did Nicolas
Sartorius Alvarez. a 35-year-old law-
yer and journalist.

The court rendered its judgment and
sentence the day that Generalissimo
Franco appointed as the new Premier
Carlos Arias Navarri, who had been
a former public prosecutor, police offi»
cial, Mayor of Madrid, Spain‘s security
chief for eight years and Interior Min-
ister with responsibility for the police
and prisons.

Defying the United Nations Univer-
sal Declaration of Human Rights, guar-
antees which it ratifit'd, Franco's Spain
denies workers, as did Hitler's Ger-
many and Mussolini‘s Italy. the right
to associate. to organize. to hold col-
lcctive negotiations and to strike.

The only appeal is to world opinion.
International outrage, as it forced
commutation of death penalties in the
1959 Leningrad trial involving Jews
wishing to leive the country and the
1970 trial of Basque nationalists in
Burgos, might impel fascist Spain to
act humanely.

Moral leadership cannot be expected
from the L'nited States. Henry A. Kis-
singer was in Madrid for “whirlwind
talks" with Generalissimo Franco,
Prince Juan Carlos de Borbon and
others including Admiral (‘arrero Blan-
co on the eve of the murder and the
trial.

The day the trial started the papers
quoted our Secretary of State as look—
ing to a new North Atlantic Treaty
Organization "relationship" to intlude
Spain, which shared a “substantial
identity of views" with the Waited
States and permitted four niaioi mili-
tary bases on her soil.

 

Anita Siege!

Despite woridwide pioiest, and
major delegations at the trial from
England, France. Italy, Canada, the
t'nited States and other countries.
there 15 no record or evidence that our
Secretary of State mentioned the case
of the Carabanchel Ten in his confer—
ences.

When will our foreign—policy makers
learn that peace will come not by mili-
tary air bases near Madrid and inter—
national profits from the sweat of
cheap labor in Spain, but from a deep
concern for and commitment to the
fundamental human rights of all peo-
ple?

 

Ramsey Clariz, former At-
torney General of the United
States. witnessed the entire
trial.

Gap on Watergate tape erased
then rerecorded, experts say

By HARRY R. ROSENTIIAL
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Technical
experts said Tuesday that an 18-
minute gap in subpoenaed White
House tape was caused by
erasing and rerecording and any
speech on the tape cannot be
recovered.

At a court hearing after the
release of the panel‘s findings
assistant Watergate prosecutor
Richard Ben-Veniste tried to get
the experts to say whether the
erasure was made deliberately.

But that line of questioning ran
immediately into a flurry of
objections by White House
lawyer James D. St. Clair and the
attorney separately representing
President Nixon's personal
secretary.

THE Jl'l)(;E tried to get
around the objection by asking
the witness. Richard H. Bolt “is it
your opinion this 18.5 minute
erasure was accidentally or
deliberately done?”

That also went unanswered
because of objections.

The experts said they could tell
that at least five starts and stops
were made with the erase-record
button and and said there is
electronic evidence on the tape to
support that.

“THE BL‘ZZING sounds were
put on the tape in the process of
erasing and re—recording at least
five and perhaps as many as nine
separate and contiguous
segments.“ said the report to
chief US. District Judge John J.
Sirica.

The experts said that the
buzzing that replaced the con«
versation originated in noise
picked up from the electrical
power line to which the recorder
was connected.

Variations in strength of the
buzz from loud to soft probably
were caused by a number of
things including variations in the
noise of the power line, erratic
functioning of the recorder and
changes in the position of the
operator‘s hand while running
the recorder, they said.

THE EXPERTS also said in
their report that, at three
locations in the 18.5-minute
section of the tape. "we have
observed a fragment of speech»
like sound lasting less than one
second. Each of the fragments
lies exactly at a place on the tape
that was missed by the erase
head during the series of
operations in which the several
segments of erasure and buzz
were put on the tape."

As to whether the speech can be
recovered. the experts said “we
think not. We know of no
technique ..... Even the fragments
that we have observed are so
heavily obscured that we cannot
tell what was erased."

The six-man panel that has
been examinating the tape of
June 20. 1972. said “the recording
controls must have been operated
by hand in the making of each

segment . " .

The report appeared to clear
President Nixon‘s secretary.
Rose Mary Woods. who had
testified she accidentally pushed
the record button for some five
minutes while transcribing the
tape.

Miss Woods had testified her
foot must have been on a pedal
used to start the machine when
she pushed the button. Since no
microphone was connected at the
time. the effect of that would
have been to erase whatever
conversation was on the tape.

THE REPORT was made
public by Judge Sirica who then
called a hearing in open court for
testimony by the experts.

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Wednesday. January 16,-m4—5

HELD OVER

DON’T MISS IT!

Contrary to trend

Foreign student increase

students, exchange visitors and staff numbered
over 500 here last semester, the first increase since
1969.

The Republic of China (Taiwan), Thailand and
India sent the most people to UK. China sent 62,
Thailand 50 and India 36 people to the University.

THE STUDENTS from Thailand are sponsored by
a grant from the US. Government for the study of
agriculture. When they return to their homes, they
are expected to work for their government.

Although changes in the money market have
affected foreign students’ spending power, the
effect has not been totally negative, said Dalton.
While the spending power of Bolivians has been
lessened, German and Japanese students have seen
the spending power of the mark and yen increase.

While many foreign students live in Cooperstown,
Dalton said foreign students live off campus, others
in Blanding II and still others in places like Kirwan
Tower and Haggin Hall.

THE FOREIGN STUDENTS who live in

While national trends indicate fewer foreign
students are studying in the United States, UK has
experienced an increase in the number of foreign
students, exchange visitors and staff.

Jon Dalton, director of the Human Relations
Center and International Student Office, said the
U .S. State Department recently adopted a more
rigorous student visa policy. The policy requires the
student to show he has funds available for four
years of school when he enters the country.

 

 

“WE'VE HAD AN increase here,” said Dalton.
“Compared to eastern schools, UK and Kentucky
are cheaper places to live."

Dalton said some people fear if the new visa
policy is enforced, it will create an “elitist"
situation in which “only rich students will be able to

study here."

“This would defeat the purpose of bringing
students to the United States to create more of an
economic balance in other countries,” said Dalton.

THE NEW visa policy grew partially out of labor
union's fear of 250,000 foreign students competing
with natives for summer jobs. Dalton said.

Despite these problems and growing trend to

neo-isolationism after the Vietnam War, foreign

Board of Trustees sells
to finance community colleges

UK has sold $5.5 million in
community college bonds to a
combine headed by Blythe,
Eastman, Dillon of New York at
a 8 per cent. The money will be
used for construction at the
Ashland Community College,
Jefferson Technical Institute,
and for the library at Jefferson
Community College in Louisville,
according to Larry Forgy, vice
president for business affairs and
UK treasurer.

The decision to sell the bonds
was made by the executive
committee for the UK Board of
Trustees at a Jan. 8 meeting.
“The executive committee has
the authority to make such
decisions when there is not a
regularly scheduled trustees’
meeting," explained Forgy.

THREE MILLION dollars will
be used for the construction of an
arts wing and a science wing at
Ashland Community College. The
contract to build at Ashland was
let to Armstrong Construction
Company of Ashland. “We hope
to begin construction on the
buildings next week, if we suc—
