STATE POLICE FIRED TEAR
GAS cann'sters yesterday to break up
a rock and bottle-throwing crowd of
about 400 striking mines near a
nonunion mine in western Kentucky,
officials said.

Some strikers hurled cannisters
back as about 70 riotequipped police
moved in, said State Trooper Ron
Thanpson of the Henderson post.

Two Daviess County, Ky. sheriff's
deputies, a state policeman and at
least two other persons were
hospitalized with injuries sustained in

YOUNG MEN ARE FINDING
COLLEGE less attractive, according
to a Census Bureau study released
yesterday. The report suggested that
fewer men are enrolling because they
are not eligible for GI education
benefits, no longer need draft
deferments and became they consider
a college education less important.

The proportion of 18- and 19-yearold
men who have completed one year of
college declined from 13.6 percent in
1970 to 10.9 percent this year, the
report said.

However, during the same period, a
higher proportion of women the same
age completed the same education,
increasing from 12.9 percent in 1970 to
10.9 percent this year, the report said.

A FARMER'S STRIKE scheduled
to begin today will have widespread
support among western Kentucky
farmers, Kentucky leaders of a group
called American Agriculture said
yesterday.

Other farm leaders, however, said it
is difficult to determine just how
many Kentuckians will become in-
volved in the effort.

American Agriculture, based in
Springield, Col, has called on all
farmers in the nation to stop selling
their crops and buying anything other
than essentials to protest the current
rate of farm prices.

The group plans to picket “until
Congress gives the farmer 100 percent
of parity and the farmers and the
farmers elect a board to keep an eye
on that parity thing in Washington,”
said Larry Smiley, a Mayfield farmer
and group leader.

Parity prices are determined by the
US. Department of Agriculture and
represent the relationship between
what a farmer gets for h'Ls crops and
what hehas to spend to produce them.
In Kentucky, current prices for all
farm products are below parity.

SUPPORT FOR A COLLEGE
tuition tax credit faded yesterday as
congressional leaders sought a final
vote on Social Security legislation that
would mean substantially higher
payroll taxes in the next 10 years.

Enactment of the Social Security
measure, aimed at providing new
financial stability for the retirement
system‘s trust funds, has been held up
by a dispute over the proposed 3250-

Congressional leaders indicated
yesterday that they were making
progress in breaking the deadlock and
clearing the way for a final vote on
Social Security before Christmas.

UK researcher, professor take sides

By ALFRED L. BUCHANAN
Kernel Reporter

Recombinant DNA research has
been termed by some as “more
hazardous than the atomic bomb,”
and it has also been praised as a
benefit to mankind.

Recombinant DNA research is
basically this: the genetic material
(1 one organ‘sm is inserted into
another organism, and the genetic
materials combine. Thus, the term
“recombinant.”

Currently, only microorganisms
are used, and the receiving
organism is usually common bac-
teria, known as E. Coli, that live in
the human digestive tract.

Dr. Robert C. Dickson is a
biochemist at UK, and he argues in
favor of recombinant work, as he is
the person in charge of all recom-
binant work at the University.

“Here at UK, we’ve been taking
genes out of a yeast. We’re looking
for a gene found in milk that breaks
down lactose into glucose and
galactose. I am really interested in
this as a model—all organisms turn
genes on and off, and hopefully,
through our experimentation here
we can find out why,” Dickson ex-
plained.

There are many practical aspects
of this research, according to
Dickson.

“The microorganism E. Coli could
be used as a factory for enzymes and
hormonm in which some people are

deficient. It could be used to im-
proveantibiotics, or even to improve
the phdosynthetic apparatus of
plants.

“Also, if the research progresses
far enough, we could conceivably
put nitrogen-fixing genes in all
crops, thus eliminating the need for
nitrogenous fertilizers,” Dickson
said.

But th‘s souncb too good to be true
to Dr. John J . Just, a professor in the
biology department.

“These microorganisms (E. Coli)

now make products of the foreign '
material—they create completely

new organisms. You don‘t know
what they will be; there is no good
way of predicting tht the new
organism will just make the same
product that the foreign DNA tells it
to make.

“Thousanrh of strains are being
made in a lab, and they don’t know if
they are producing dangerous new
organisms. That‘s the problem,”
Just said.

Actually, according to Just, two
problems exist. The first problem is
evident above, where a researcher
may unknowingly produce an
organism that will produce a harm-
ful toxin. The second problem,
though, deals with terrorists.

“If they develop the technology,
then any lab in any country can use
the same technology and make
harmful organisms,” Just said.
“And the problem is not limited to
humans. We have no idea what the
possible effects are on the rest of the
ecosystem."

More recollections than sorrow

Rupp funeral draws faces from coach’s past

By DAVID HIBBI'I'I‘S
Sports Editor

At he funeral yesterday at the
Central Christian Church, former
Kentucky basketball coach Adolph
Frederick Rupp was remembered in
a simple ceremony with Minister
Glynn Burke presiding

Recollection of Rupp’s quck wit
and hi drive for pcfection were
more revalent than were the in-
dications of deep sorrow.

Mike Pratt, a forward who played
with carter Dan Isael on one of
Rupp’s last teams, took time away
from hisjobasan assistant coach at

d

I‘.->’.-“‘.u-~ --.--o

the University of North Carolina at
Charlotte to come to the funeral.

Pratt summarized the mood of the
people at the funeral by saying, ”It
was a good feeling about the man
and what he did for basketball. I
remember him two ways: during
and after my career at UK."

Others who came to pay their last
respects to the man who affected the
lives of all he touched through his
coaching career and afterwards
included coaches, players,
politicians and members of the
meda from inside and outside the
state.

Then from the Kentucky athletic

family were Athletic Director Cliff
Hagan, Coach Joe Hall, former
Athletic Director Harry Lancaster,
Happy Chmder, former Kentucky
governor and one of Rupp’s closest
frienth, and too many others to
name.

C.M. Newton, the current
basketball coach at Alabama and
also one of Rupp's former players,
and Dale Brown, [Mustana State’s
mentor, came to show their regrets
at the passing of the cinch who put
basketball in the Southeastern
Conferene on the map.

only survive under laboratory
conditions, and if many were
released into the environment, they
would die.

“In fact,” claimed Dickson, “it’s
even difficult to keep recombinant
organisms alive in the laboratory,
much less the external environment.
All the evidence is against the
possibility of creating an organism
that produces toxins and grows in
the wild, but I can’t guarantee you it

'_ won‘t happen."

“Nobody will guarantee that
recombinant DNA work is com-
pletely safe,“ said Just. “Not even
the most ardent supporters of it. The
thing is, we‘re not talking about
possibilities and statistics, but we're
talking about human lives and
damage to our ecosystem.

“Fifty years ago, people tharght it
was ridiculous to think of sending
man to the moon. But now, 50 years
later, we think nothing of it. The
same could apply to recombinant
DNA research."

Just also contested the credibility
of many of the lab workers involved
in recombinant DNA research.

“I was in a lab where they were
doing it, and the workers get sloppy.
Why? Became many of the workers

tucky just last night, was also there.

Present among Rupp's former
players were Wallace Jones, Bill
Spivey, Cecil Bell, Mike Casey,
Pratt, Jim And'ews and others.

Gov. Julian Carroll and Louisville
Mayor Harvey Sloane set aside their
rernsibilities to be at the
ceremony. And Furman Bisha', the
sports editor d the Atlanta Con-
stitution came from Georgia Tech
country.

During the ceremony, Burke
praised Rupp for his ability to
achieve excellence in ids own life,
and for the way he demanded the
same qmlity from those with whom

"'._,....

  

experience is in biochemistry.

“This is whyl want to introduce a
non-lethal pathogen into the working
area. If the workers are told they are
working (near) salmonella, they will
be much more careful so they won‘t
get sick.

“Also, if the pathogen escapes into
thelab, they can tell if there‘s been
any contamination became the lab
workers will get sick,“ explained
Just.

Dickson also conceded to Just on
the point of workers without
microbiology experience, but he
does not see this as a major
problem. According to Dickson,
most of the mistakes made in a lab
involve only the lab workers, and not
the general public.

An example of this would be a lab
technician sucking a toxin into his or
her mouth while using a pipette.
Again Dickson argues:

“Even if you did have some
recombinant material flushed down
thesink, it would not survive outside
the laboratory. If people doing all
the yelling and shouting had talked
to anyone who knows anything about
evolution, they would be quiet.

“We have raised the organisms we
work with in a ‘nice’ environment,
and Darwin's theory of evolution
states that only the toughest
organisms will survive in the outside
world."

As the situation stands now,
scientists have been able to produce
a living organism through recom
binant work, and the foreign DNA is
already producing some RNA
(ribonucleic acid).

However, nobody has yet suc-
ceeded in making the bacteria
produce a protein. ( For example, E.
Coli producing human insulin, which
is one of the goals of DNA resear-
chers).

Although Just opposes the idea of
recombinant DNA research, he has
no objection to the work being done
at UK, because hundreds of labs all
over the world are also doing this
advanced research.

“The technology is here—the
bomb is built. It’s like nuclear
ena‘gy; the potential for doing good
is great, but the potential for harm is
equally as great. But I‘m very
defeatist about it. By the time
legislation is passed, it will be too
late.

“The only hope I have is for an
international ban by the United
Nations and definitely more
stringait regulations by the NIH
(National Institutes of Healthi,"
Just concluded.

he worked.

Burke also reminded the mour-
ners of how Rupp kept his‘sense of
tumor during his last few weeks in
the hospital. “One day the mrses
needed to move him up a little in the
bed," Burke said.

“So they said, What we count to
three, will you (Rupp) help us by
pushing yourself up a little?‘ So they
counted to two and realized that his
toad needed to be moved down a
little. Rupp's respome was, “What
happened to three?’ "

After the funeral, the family went
with the casket to Lexington
Cemetery for a private service.

Med bill won’t help

State Sen. Tom Easterly’s tD-Frankfort)
proposal to require UK and U of L medical school
graduates to practice in-state after graduation is
neither the best or fairest way to keep doctors in
Kentucky. and may actually hinder health care.

The best students can choose between many
medical schools, and will look for the best deal
when choosing which institution to attend. Few
will consider Kentucky schools if the proposed
bill is adopted, the the state will lose any chance
of getting the best students, let alone keeping
them.

Easterly's proposal, would drive students to
other states that don’t invoke such restrictions.
When these students leave, as they inevitably
will, the quality of Kentucky’s doctors will go
deteriorate. In addition, it is quite probably
unconstitutional to detail where a person must
live and work for five years, as a similar law in
Tennessee was judged.

Also. there‘s no guarantee that students
required to practice in-state are going to go to
the areas which need doctors the most. Studies
have shown that a higher concentration of
doctors actually raises salaries. Thus, there’s

every reason to believe that medical school
graduates are going to continue to flock to
Louisville and Lexington.

Finally, the proposal gives little consideration
to the Medical School’s acute financial problems.

Lack of money is the major problem and
cramming more bodies into overcrowded
classrooms and overused facilities won’t im-
prove the instruction. The school needs more
space, a bigger budget and more cooperation
from the state government.

If health care in Kentucky is going to improve
we must work toward making the state a better
place to practice medicine, thereby drawing
physicians from other states.

In addition, more medical students can be kept
in Kentucky if salaries in rural areas could be
subsidized, or if the state would offer voluntary
incentives for medical students who agree to
practice in these areas.

Laws like the one Easterly has proposed have
proven disastrous in Colorado and have been
ruled unconstitutional in Tennessee. Please,
senator, let’s not repeat others’ mistakes.

I’m not sure what the score is, but
I believe that these small businesses

Just ask C & H Ranch, a substantial,

Also on strike are Kroger em—

the spirit of brotherly love so often
associated with this time of year, no
one is planning to attend the con-

Finally, Kermit Washington of the

distressed by how one recent game
with the Houston Rockets was

that he decided to take his

Book exchange

As a concerned student, I‘d like to
ask the students of UK to support the
Student (10vernment (SG) Book
Exchange The exchange is on shaky
ground this year and unless students
participate it may well go under for
good.

Although those who used the ex-
change received better book deals
than those offered from the
bookstores, their number was not
sufficient to offset the labor costs of
processing books.

Another year of financial loss will
surely reduce the chances that SG
will attempt to make the exchange
an on-going project, a status it is
worthy of.

The urgency of your participation
is felt all the more in light of the
Kennedy, Wallace merger. No
longer will these two bookstores be
in competition for your dollar.

The exchange is not asking for a
profit, rather it offers you a service
while under selling the bookstores
acress the board.

For those not aware of the ex-
change here‘s a brief outline of its
operation.

From 9 am. to 4 pm. next Mon-
day through next Wednmday in both
the Student Center and the Complex
Commons, areas will be set up for
students to turn in old textbooks.

In return, the students will receive
receipts. Over holiday break the
books will be gathered into a store-
like arranganent in the Student
Center.

During the first week of the new
semester all texts will be on sale at a
price the bookOWner decides (the
exchange offers a list of suggested
prices), and in roughly the second

week of the semester checks will be
issued to the bookowners whose
books have sold.

Unsold books will be returned.

The seller receives more for used
texts and the buyer beats the
bookstore price on his new
semester’s texts.

For a successful exchange the
collection of texts is the all im-
portant first phase. To repeat, this
will be going on at the Student
Center and the Complex Commons
from 9 am. to 4 pm. next Monday
through next Wednesday.

Please support the exchange.

The first woman to earn a
UK degree in agriculture
engineering will graduate in
December. Lori Ewen of
Middletown, one of three
December graduates of the
agriculture engineering
department, has a fulltime
staff position waiting for her
in the department.

"The position is only good
for three years, because UK
can’t hire their own
graduates," she said.

A transfer student from
Transylvania University,

Ewen majored in
mathematics for two years
before deciding on

agriculture engineering at
UK.

“My talents are in the
mathematics realm, and
unless you want to teach
math, which I don’t, there
isn’t much you can do with
it,” she said.

“Agriculture sounded
appealing to me because my
grandfather owns a farm in
Indiana andl love to visit him
there."

A greenhouse built in the
face of an abandoned

Agriculture engineering

mineshaft in Pikeville is one
project on which Ewen is
working.

We‘re looking at the energy
considerations,” she said.
“The minestays at 57 degrees
in the winter and that’s warm
compared to the outside. In
the summer, we use it to cool
the greenhouse."

The agriculture depart-
ment has similar working
greenhouses like this where
lettuce, broccoli and
Chrysanthemums are grown,
Ewen said.

Being the only woman in
her classes made Ewen self-

conscious during her first

weeks at UK, she said.

“I‘ve overcome that
feeling, and! think of myself
as equal to the men students.
The only time I’ve had
preferential treatment is
when the students play
volleyball.

“They either don't let me
hit it, or if I hit it it and miss
it, they say ‘good try‘." she
said.

Ewen said she liked the
agriculture engineering
department became classes
are small and professors deal
