Waterfights can be a serious business, especially when these two behemoths had a duel in their pond at the

Louisville Zoo.

BY DICK GABRIEL
Assistant Managing Editor

Drivers who have to battle huge
traffic jams in the morning and
afternoon rush hours, only to find
there are no available parking
spaces, can look forward to little in
the way of relief.

There will be no additions to the
Rose Street parking structure and
new parking lots are not being
planned; yet more parking permits
are being made available to
students.

“It’s hard to justify adding on to
the parking structure," said UK
Public Safety Director Tom
Padgett. “It rarely fills up. On most
days you can go up to the fourth
(top) deck and there will only be 10
cars up there.”

Padgett confirmed the fact that
the parking and traffic control
committee is not planning any new
lots. The committee, chaired last
year by Associate Dean of Students
Frank Harris, is composed of five

UK flashers struck 13 times last year

BY WILLIAM A. PATTERSON
Kernel Reporter

Exhibitionism on campus '3 a
potential problem every year at UK,
and the mmber of reported in-
cidents is probably much less than
that of how many actually occur.

Between September 1975 and
August 1976, 13 complaints involving
incidents of exhibitionism were
reported to campus security ac-
cording to statistics. Many other
incidents went unreported.

Exhibitionist tendencies usually
stem from a feeling of inadequacy,
said Dr. Harriet Rose, Director of

the Counseling and Testing Center.
“Generally, exhibitionists are timid,
shy and unaggressive sexually,”
said Rose. “They are usually in-
telligent, have a good education and
a strict moral ethic," she added.

Flashing, as exhibitionism is more
commonly called, is frequently a
regression to the post-puberty
period, according to Rose.
“Exhibitionists frequently have
trouble relating to females in a
normal social environment, and
resort to deviant behavior.” Rose
encourages anyone with this
problem to seek psychological
courseling.

Student Senate gives

initial approval to four

constitutional reforms

BY KEITH SHANNON
Kernel Staff Writer

The UK Student Government (80)
took the first step last night in
passing four SG constitutional
amendments, including one which
would abolish the General Student
Assembly (GSA).

The GSA, as provided for in the SG
constitution, is an assembly made
up of part- and full-time students
and is given the power to make
resolutions to the senate. It is to be
called into session at least twice
every semester, according to the

constitution.
Nancy Daly, Social Professions

Senator, and chairperson of the SG
constitutional committee, called the
provision “a mockery of the con-
stitution."

Daly said the GSA did not meet
with any consistancy until last year,
when they met twice. She said the
meetings that were held were an
example of how the GSA could be
“almsed by loud vocal minorities.”

She said the GSA provision was
really unnecessary because the
groups or individuals in the
university who want recognition can
present resolutions or bills directly
to SG without having to go throng!
GSA.

Craig Meeker, senator-at-iarge,
said the GSA represented “a waste
of time, energyand money." He said

the GSA meetings last year turned
into “parliamentary nightmares."

The vote was 26-8 with in favor of
the amendment dissolving the GSA.
The SC constitution provides that all
amendments must be approved by a
two-thirds vote of the entire Senate
at two consecutive meetings. The
second vote on the amendments will
occur Monday, Sept. 20.

Other amendments voted on last
night included one which provides
for the purgation of student senators
if they are not able to adequately
account for absences at the 86
meetings. The amendment, spon-
sored by Steve Petry, engineering
senator, would bring the question of
purgation before the Senate after a
senator has accumulated two
unexcused absences from SC
meetings.

A third unexcused absence or
failure to attend one-half of the
regularly scheduled 80 meetings
would result in the automatic
purgation of a senator.

Petry said the amendment was
designed to provide a method by
which senators who are not active in
attending the meetings could be
eliminated from the Senate. The
move, which passed by a margin of
34-2, reduces the number of ab-
sences originally allowed in the
constitution.

Exhibitionism is a misdemeanor
offense, according to Paul Harrison,
Chief of Campus Police. “The
plantiff must swear out a war-rent
for an arrest to be made,” said
Harrison. The victim should also be
able to make a positive iden-
tification of the exhibitionist,
Harrison added.

Many people think of the
exhibitionist as a potential rapist.
But statistics show that flashers
seldom commit rape, according to
Harrison.

There was agreement among the
consulted authorities that the
Margaret 1. King library is poten-
tially a problem area. The vast
unsupervised area of the stacks,
with its numerous bookshelves,
offers a perfect hiding place.

last year there were two arrests
stemming from incidents that oc-
curred in the library, according to
Jeff Sauer. assistant head of circula-
tion at the library. He also believes

there were other incidents that went
unreported for various reasons.

Some victims are uneasy about
reporting a flasher to a man working
on the library desk. “We try to have
a woman around as much as
possible, but a victim should not be
shy about telling anyone working the
desk,” said Sauer. “We have dealt
with the situation before and we are
sympathetic. We not only want to
help the victim but the other person
as well," he added.

While the incident is in progress,
there are some simple steps each
victim should follow, said Sauer. A
victim should try to be cool and keep
a clear head because screaming
usually is more provocative to the
exhibitionist, he said. The victim
should try to remember as many
details as possible about the
flasher’s face and clothing so a
positive identification can be
made. Finally, the victim should call
the police as soon as possible.

Permits will be issued

faculty members, two students and
four staff members and makes
recommendations concerning major
changes in the parking program.

One of the changes for which the
committee is responsible is the
increase from $2 to $5 in parking
fines this year, according to
Padgett.

Ruth Hastie. manager of the
parking department, said a survey
is being taken now to determine
parking space vacancies at peak
times (mid-morning and mid-
afternoon). She said figures won’t be
available until next week, but since
the C-2 lot on Rose Street behind the
Coliseum is rarely filled, more C-2
stickers will probably be allotted to
people on the waiting list.

“C" stickers are already oversold
by 50 per cent, according to Hastie.
“We've issued more C-2 parking
stickers than ever before,” Hastie
said.

“A” stickers, sold to faculty
members are overissued at a two-to-
one rate. People owning these
stickers can also park in “B” lots.
However, those people owning “B”
stickers, ordinarily faculty and staff
members, are allowed parking
spaces in the “B" lots only.

Even though “C” stickers are
oversold at a 50 per cent ratio, UK
traffic control personnel have made
an effort to keep C lots free of
drivers without a proper parking
sticker, according to Padgett.

“We try to keep people (without
stickers) out so students can count
on a space a majority of the time,”
he said. “C” stickers are sold to
commuters who do not live on
campus and would ordinarily not
park on campus all day.

“They (stickers) are oversold
because of the obvious fact that not
all students can be there at once,”
Padgett said.

A decision this year to re-route the
shuttle buses gave drivers even
more cause for concern because the
express shuttle which went non-stop
from the Funkhouser Building to the
parking lot at Commonwealth
Stadium was left out of the new plan.

University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky

TOM PADGETT
. . . sees no need to expand the Rose
Street parking structure.

Three buses now serve the
southern half of the campus and the
stadium parking lot is one of the
scheduled stops. There is no more
non-stop service from the stadium to
campus but, according to Padgett,
service from three buses should
more thancompensate. Padgett said
that depending on traffic conditions,
a bus should stop at the stadium
once every four minutes.

One bus serves the north end of
campus and a fourth bus runs the
south route during the rush-hour
time of 7:11) until 9 am.

Could the non-existence of a
shuttle to arrl from the stadium be a
factor behind the massive influx of
cars on campus?

“It could be,” said Hastie.

Padgett said the revised bus
routes and the cancellation of the
stadium bus route should help im-
prove the situation.

“This lets us make better use of
the entire bus system,” Padgett
said “There was a campus bus
covering the same ground covered
by the shuttle bus. And now we have
three buses instead of two to go to
Cooperstown and around the
complex.”

Psychological center offers counseling service

to deal with mental health problems

BY MARIE MITCHELL
Kernel Reporter

For anyme who feels in need of
counseling, the Psychological
Services Center provides a variety
d mental health services.

The service is free and offered to
people in the community as well as
students. According to Dr. Richard
Bednar, director of the clinical
psychology training program. the
center deals with problems con-
cerning depression, anxiety, drugs,
alcohol, sexual dysfunction and lack
of self-awareness and potential.

Six clinical psychology faculty
members supervise participating
advanced doctoral students who
actually work with the clients. To set
up the necessary preliminary in-
terview. Bednar said a person
should call 258-8323 or stop by 0111H
Kastle Hall.

Linda Barnett, coordinator of
clinical services, handles the in-
terview, where each problem is
discused and goals are established.
After this initial contact, Barnett
said she confers with the faculty

supervisors; they then assign a
graduate student to the case,
matching his or her training to the
client's needs. If the center is unable
to sufficienttly handle a certain case
it refers the person to other agen-
cies.

“Various therapy approaches are
used, dependhig on the problem,"
Bednar said. Assertive training,
systematic desensitization (to
reduce fear), encounter groups,
diagnatic evaluation, and growth-
oriented, group, behavioral and

insight therapies are some treat-
ment methods used. Bednar
stressed that all sessions are con-
fidential.

A National Institute of Mental
Health grant provides the program
with $1,000; UK allots $500a year for
a psychiatric consultant who is
licensed to administer medication,
Bednar said.

One addition to the program is a
playroom being established in
Kastle Hall with the help of faculty
advisor Dr. Ray Martorano. Mar-

them”: children have not
previously been included in the
counseling services, according to
Barnett.

The center was established early
in 1976 for “training purposes and as
a commmity service," said Bednar.
Barnett said it is a definite ad-
vantage to begin earlier this year
before potential graduate students
are placed elsewhere. Brochures
havebeensentto local practitioners
and attorneys. “Three cases have
already been referred to the Clinic,"
mid Barnett.

Jefferson Co. can learn

to accept desegregation

Year Two of Jefferson County
desegregation is now operative and, though
orderly compliance is by no means accepted,
all concerned seem to have mellowed
somewhat from the previous year’s ex-
perience.

A disturbance did break out in Valley
Station, in southern Jefferson county where
reaction to the federal court order is most
volatile. And, apparently, a misguided in-
dividual planted a bomb that exploded at Male
High School causing minor damage.

These manifestations of discontent indicate
Jefferson County residents still harbor ill
feelings, although disturbances are less in-
tense and widespread than a year ago.
Similarly, the busing situation in Boston,
whose residents shocked many Americans
with violent reactions to a court order in 1974,
has cooled

Acceptance is gaining. This is not to say that
those involved — school officials, parents,
children and police —- have accepted the
ruling. indeed, political opposition to court-
ordered busing hasn‘t slackened much; not
with American politicians on all levels
covering their bets with anti-busing
statements.

But many of those opposed are realizing that
very little can be done to stop federal court

orders; certainly rioting and bombing do not
advance any cause, as we hope all concerned
will realize.

Drspite what we see as a trend toward
acceptance of the inevitable, all concerned
should remember that the smallest slips could
trigger a volatile reaction.

Jefferson County police, for example,
should be careful not to abuse the new “get-
tough” policy regarding regulation of
demonstrations. The protest gatherings, ob-
viously, provide the setting most likely to
erupt to violence.

Jefferson County citizens and officials
should not be deterred from their work by the
presence of national media, waiting camera-
ready for a riot like buzzards over prey.

less significant in comparison to the need
for compliance, but still not to be neglected,
are many snags involved in the actual busing
wocess. The Louisville Times reported, for
example, that several children were missed
on the bus routes and many buses lagged
behind schedule.

Jefferson County has the opportunity to
learn from experiences in Dallas, Dayton and
other cities which adjusted to change.

Order in the actual busing process would
enhance a general air of orderliness to
desegregation, thus lending to easier
acceptance.

 

 

 

Bad ad

The Kernel has in the past taken
an editorial stand deploring the
exploitation of women. The full
backpage ad layout in the Friday,
Sept. 3 Kernel suggests that the
advertising department does not
know about that stand.

A woman in black gloves, net
stockings and little else is depicted
gogoing under the caption, “No
teasing around. These nearby
campus merchants want you to shop
on THE STRIP.“

is this angle supposed to appeal to
UK women? Will it even appeal to
many men? The collection of shops
along South Limestone will suffer,
not gain, from this advertising.

The Kernel could have chosen an
angle that shows South Limestone as
a variety of shops that students will
want to patronize because they fit
into a student‘s lifestyle. To
represent South Limestone as a
honky-tonk strip is distasteful,
appealing to few students and
repelling most.

The drawing of the woman in the
advertising spread should offend all
women. Whois responsible for it and
did the women—»and men—at the
Kemel approve this exploitative
advertising?

Lynne Funk

Individualism

The letter in Friday’s Kernel from
two of my fellow numbers has
prompted me to write. They‘re dead
right when they claim that UK robs
its students of their individuality.
The basic technique is to create
crowds of isolated, identical,
powerless students.

We stand in endless lines everyday
in order to eat meals that come in
measured quantities of specified
foods. Of course, vegetarians, Jews,
and Muslims have to go hungry or
give up their diets.

Things are no better off campus.
There's rush, where every Greek
house throws the same party, and
where you learn that you’ve got to
sleep three~toa-room when you
move in. And there’s the ritual of
renting an apartment. Your landlord
probably won't let you even keep a
cat to kill the cockroaches, or hang
pictures on the walls to hide the

cracks (or provide needed
insulation).

Letters

There’s reason why things are this
grim. In effect, the University is just
a profit-making institution, like any
factory. The job of any factory
management is to process materials
as cheaply as possible, then sell
them for a profit. Our management,
the administration, therefore, is just
doing the cheapest and easiest thing
when it treats us like numbers
without any rights worth respecting.
Everything‘s running smoothly as
long as we get “processed” into BAs
or 88s The University pockets our
tuition, and all’s well.

But maybe the UK administration
is wrong. At other universities,
students have picketed, petitioned,
and gone on strike to force their
unwilling Administrations to give
them their rights, to return their
individuality. Many schools have no
restrictions on dorm visitation, on
painting dorm rooms, on student
freedom of speech. Student tenants’

unions have forced landlords into
reasonable rents and decent
maintenance of apartments. It’s
time UK students woke up to what
rights they have, and how to get
them back.

Letters policy

The Kernel recognizes the
obligation to provide a forum for
reada‘ response. Submissions will
be accepted in the form of letters to
the editor or comments.

Letters cannot exceed 250 words.
They must be typewritten, triple-
spaced and signed with the writer’s
name, clasification and major.

Comments cannot exceed 750
words and the above information is
mandatory. In order to run a series,
the writer must see the editorial
editor.

 

 

Letters from the editor

It’s hard to roll with undeserved punches

GINNY EDWARDS

As the old adage goes, you’ve got
to roll with the punches.

We try.

But there also have been many
times that we’ve been staggered,
recovering slowly from the attack.
Actually, some journalists seem to
enjoy being verbally attacked. One
wise writer once told me that being
called irresponsible is the greatest
compliment a journalist can
receive. I suppose you can infer
from this that certain toes always
need to he stepped on.

But sometimes it’s hard to take
blows that aren’t deserved. We have
been continuously attacked this year

for comments written bype'rsons not ‘

connected with the newspaper.

The Kernel runs three basic types '

of articles, two of which appear on
theeditorial page. The first type, the
editorial, appears daily in the upper
left-hand comer of the page. The
editorial expresses the Kernel’s
opinion, which is determined in
editorial board meetings. Five
major editors discuss issues ranging
from campus to international in
nature before determining the

paper’s position.

The editorial page also contains
comments and letters from persons
wishing to express an opinion. We
recognize the necessity for an open
forum, and appreciate reader
response. But, here’s where the
problem arises.

Nady every letter and comment
condemning the Kernel has, in
actuality, been in response to letters

and comments written by Kernel
readers.

Our policy is to run every letter
and comment we receive whenever
possible. We do reserve the right,
however, to correct spelling and
errors in syntax. Also, libelous
letters or comments are not con-
sidered for publication. Authors of
letters and comments are identified
to draw the line between our opinion
and unsolicited outside views.

For ex ample, we received a letter
concerning a comment on the
proposed Baptist Student Union. The
author of the letter condemned the
Kernel for publishing a one—sided
article. But the purpose of a com-
ment is to print opinions—aren’t
they usually one-sided?

..... The.third type of article published

in the Kernel is a factual report.
These articles, whether news, arts
or sports, are meant to inform
readers, and should be presented
accurately and fairly. We strive for
professionalism and appreciate your
views when you think we have fallen
down on the job.

I suppose it’s basically a matter of
pride that makes the Kernel want to
clear up the difference between
reader comments and our editorials
and news articles, but we think it
will also help readers understand

the paper.
0000.

Although we feel it is our
obligation to publish letters and
comments, we do ask that you follow
a few guidelines. Please type and
triple-space all submissions and
include name, address and

telephone number. We also request
that letters be confined to 250 words
and comments not exceed 750 words.

If canments are not held to the
prescribed length, an editor will try
to contact the author to determine
what portions to cut. Our word limit
is intended to give all persons an
opportunity to express an opinion
through the Kernel. With a limited
amount (1 space on the editorial
page each day, it was mandatory to
set an arbitrary word restriction in
the interest of fairness.

And now it’s time to slap ourselves
on the wrists. On the back page of
Friday’s Kernel, a picture of a
stripper was used in an ad-
vertisement for a group of mer-
chants ai Limestone Street. What
the advertising salespersons thought
would help sell a product, did not sit
well with the editorial board of the
Kernel.

But hindsight is always 20-20. it
would be easy to say that the page
was checked before publication, but
the fact is it was not. The page was
prepared for printing by the ad-
vertising staff and placed in the
printer’s box without an editor
seeing the ad.

Kernel policy precludes ex-
ploitation of women, whether in
news copy or advertisements. We
will continue to stand on this policy
and regret the recent slip.

 

Ginny Edwards is the editor-in-
chief. Letters from the editor will
appear every Wednesday.

McCarthy on the issues: why not the best?

Editor‘s note: This is the second of a
two-part series on the candidacy of
Independent Eugene McCarthy.

NICHOLAS M ARTIN

This election, for the first time in
many, we actually have a choice to
accompany the two “echoes." On
virtually every issue there is a
distinct difference between the posi-
tions of the party candidates and
that of Independent Eugene Mc-
Carthy.

It is reasonable, at this time, to
directly compare, where possible.
the positions on the issues of Carter.
Ford and McCarthy. it is sometimes
difficult to determine Mr. Carter’s
position, but we can make an
educated guess based on his com-
ments.

 

commentary

 

DEFENSE: A headline in the July
30 Lexington Herald noted, “Carter,
Ford Defense Stands Similar.“ Both
seek greater expenditures for nu-
clear weapons although Carter issue
papers neglect to mention this. Both
place high priority on numerical
superiority over Russia. They fail to
note that the Russians have the

Chinese and the Germans as threats
and we have no similar multi-front
threat. Both Carter and Ford sup
ported the course of the Vietnam
War although Carter now calls it
“racist."

McCarthy. an economist, main-
tains that waste detracts from a
potentially strong military—that the
government substitutes large num-
bers of shoddy weapons for fewer
quality ones. He notes that unem-
ployment is greater where the
defense industry is dominant. erod.
ing the economy. He was one of the
first to oppose the war and opposes
the superfluous B-l Bomber and the
Trident submarine program. the
largest military expenditure of our
time.

Both Carter and Ford support
Trident. Carter says he might
support the 8-1 after the election.
Both Carter and Ford supported the
aborted ABM system which Mc-
Carthy opposed as “useless." He
was proven correct.

ECONOMY: Ford proposes more
of the same with little stress on
unemployment and much on infla-
tion. Carter supports the Humphrey-
Hawkins employment act which
most major economists consider to

be a “fraud." McCarthy proposes
redistributing the work week, with
wage and price controls, which
would quickly guarantee full em-
ployment. He supports transition of
much of the work force to building
mass transit and anti-pollution de-
vices. This, coupled with a reduction
in defense spending and in the space
program, would save about $100
billion annually.

ENERGY: McCarthy feels that
nuclear power is unduly dangerous
and that we should direct our efforts
to solar power and coal. He supports
excise taxes to discourage consump-
tion. Ford supports nuclear energy
strongly and virtually any measure
(strip mining, off-shore drilling) to
get coal and oil. Carter‘s position is
unclear. He probably supports nu-
clear energy and opposes strip
mining. McCarthy flatly opposes
strip mining or lessening pollution
standards.

ABORTION: McCarthy is a Catho
lie but he feels abortion is not an
issue for the government. He would
strictly uphold Supreme Court rul-
ings; he is against a constitutional
amendment. Ford opposes abortion
as does Carter who does not support
a constitutional amendment as of
this time.

AMNESTY: Carter calls it pardon
for some reason—votes? McCarthy
supports amnesty. Ford doesn’t.

WOMEN’S RIGHTS: McCarthy
was the original and primary spon-
sor of the ERA. He has many women
in key staff positions and would put
them in the Cabinet and on the
Supreme Court. Ford and Carter
support McCarthy‘s ERA.

CRIME: McCarthy maintains that
crime would decrease as jobs and
living conditions increase. He feels
that those in power should get no
special treatment. Ford pardoned
Nixon. Carter supports death penal-
ty, increased funding of police.

MARIJUANA: Ford continues to
support the need to jail persons for
possession. Carter probably sup
ports decriminalization. McCarthy
says that there should be a warning
on the package stating that smoking
marijuana will not cause cancer.

CIVIL RIGHTS: In the 19403,
McCarthy warned that Congress
should have greater control over the
CIA. He would prohibit interference
by agencies in American citizens'
lives. Ford would not tamper with
current systems. Carter says he
would take personal control as
Nixon said he would.

GUN CONTROL: Ford opposes it.
Carter is for registration of hand-
guns. McCarthy is for registration of
all guns and penalties for carrying
concealed weapons.

HEALTH: Carter is for total
national health insurance. Ford is
against all national health insur-
ance. McCarthy supports national
health only for major expenses.
Total coverage would be economic-
ally disastrous.

TWO PARTY SYSTEM: Carter is
a Democrat, Ford is a Republican
and McCarthy is neither.

This time we are indeed lucky to
have a real choice between candi-
dates. Carter and Ford give varia-
tions on more-of-the-same, Mc-
Carthy has always been willing to
take political risks. He gets no
support from special interests, who
prefer party candidates.

As Daniel Moynihan has said,
“Hands down, Gene McCarthy is the
most intellectually competent man
to appear in politics since Woodrow
Wilson. He has no equal in his
conception of the issues.” As one
well known politician suggests, why
notthebest?

nator for McCarthy '18.
