ABC expands

By LINDA (‘ARNI‘ZS
Editor-in-chief

University publications and college and
university newspapers at other Kentucky
schools will be investigated by the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board (ABC)
for advertisements of distilled spirits. said
Porter Collier. ABC field director.

Collier said he was unaware of any
school publications. other than the
Kentucky Kernel. which advertise liquor
or beer but said he will have ABC agents
get copies of papers. magazines. books and
pamphlets at educational institutions

She does not think things have changed
greatly for the black student during her
stay at UK. "If anything‘s improved. it‘s
the ability to get financial aid." she said.

(‘obb has noticed a change in the attitude
of black students. “There's more of a
determination to make it, although the
drop out rate is still high.“ she said, “lf a
student makes it to the first semester of his
junior year. he'll probably finish.

ACCORDING TO Cobb. it takes the
average black student from five to six
years to graduate. She attributes this to
financial and academic problems.

If only a bounty on nuclear weapons

Americans have long cherished
their right to bear arms. so much so
that any attempts to pass gun control
laws automatically face stiff opposit-
ion. The main opponents of gun
control legislation have been sports-
men, especially the Natrional Rifle
Association (NRA). Their lobbying
efforts have successfully stifled or
weakened most gun control laws to
the point that they have become
ineffective and useless.

In Baltimore. Md, police officials
are taking a different approach to gun
control—one that may be working.
They are offering $50 for any handgun
which is turned in to police. and $100
for a tip which leads to a hidden gun.
under a program known as Operation
PASS (People Against Senseless
Shootings i.

According to a story in Parade

more than 13.000 firearms since it was
started Aug. 22. costing the city
nearly $750.000. Guns are flowing into
police stations at a rate of about 100 a
day.

Baltimore officials have been
enthusiastic about Operation PASS
because they say it reduces the
number of weapons in private
homes—thereby cutting down the
number of shootings resulting from
panic situations and family argu-
ments.

So far. statistics seem to indicate
that the program may be having some
effect. There were one-third fewer
fatal shootings and 20 per cent fewer
crimes committed using guns in the
first 30 days of the PASS experiment.

It is too early to declare the
program a success. but if the fatal
shooting statistics continue to decline

instituted in other cities. According to
Parade. at least two cities, (‘olumbus
and Cleveland, Ohio are already
studying proposals for gun bounties.

There are some drawbacks to the
program. If adopted on a large scale.
it could become very expensive.
Prices for handguns have already
been driven up in Baltimore to $55 and
$60; if the trend continues it may be
that police departments won‘t be able
to meet the market prices. Another
drawback is that anyone intending to
use a gun criminally is not likely to
turn in a weapon to the police.

Apart from practical considerat~
ions. there are ethical questions that
need to be answered before gun
bounties are adopted: should govern
ments pay money to protect citizens

abhorrent to many because it is based
on people's love of money, without
really dealing with the social
conditions which underlie our appar-
ent "need" for weapons.

A parallel could be drawn between
gun bounties and Lexington's ill-con-
ceived “Nail the Pusher" campaign.
It all depends on one‘s priority‘of
evils.

()ur priorities place handguns as a
non—neccessary evil Unlike drugs,
guns can be used without the victim's
consent

Lexington should study the Balti-
more gun bounty program. If the
statistics warrant it. the program
could be adopted here (minus the $100
for tips leading to hidden guns) to the
benefit of the community.

Libertarians try to
‘legalize freedom'

By NICHOLAS VON HOFFMAN
NEW YORK — The politicians
in the Libertarian Party differ
from the grim mealy-mouths
trying to get themselves elected
as Democrats and Republicans.
“We’re having a good time," the
Libertarians will tell you after
their work is done and they meet
at their drinking place, the
Kangaroo Bar on First Avenue.
They have the peculiar bouy-
ancy which comes from believing
in what you're doing and
contrasts so strongly with the
mainline politicians, whose faces
seldom register anything but a
sense of trapped confusion. It is
an unhappy and wearing burden
to go about making one‘s living
by advocating shopworn contra-
dictions and selfevident imprac-
ticalities that neither the speaker
nor his audience believe any-
more.

THE LIBERTARIANS also
have the advantage of being
losers. The contemporary big-

party politician. whether he polls
a majority or not. knows of
nothing else but how to win.
Ideologically and programma-
tically juiced out a decade ago, he
concentrates his whole attention
on the mastery of dreary election
techniques — public opinion
samplings, advertising know-
how, direct-mailing procedures
and media manipulation. He
knows how to win elections but he
doesn‘t have the faintest idea
about what to do after he’s
assumed office.

Losers can spend their time on
ideas and on teaching the
electorate instead of pleasing it,
and that is what the Libertarians
do. They are the great, great
grandchildren of John Locke and
J .8. Mill, the living descendants
of the decentralist, free-trade,
free-market American Whig
tradition of personal liberty,
which was long ago killed out of
the two major political parties
but not out of the national
political consciousness.

Letters to the editor

Won't be time to

It is my opinion that the
important issues in the senatorial
campaign in Kentucky are
getting confused. I don‘t think
that the mistakes made by a
Republican administration —
which have led our nation to the
brink of political and economic
turmoil — should be compared to
the damming of a scenic river.

While I think that there are
better alternatives than dam-
ming the Red River. 1 must also
keep in mind that Sen. Cook fully
supported the leadership that has
brought us to the state of affairs
in which a consumer cannot
afford to buy products that the
farmer cannot afford to sell.

My support on November 5th
will be for Wendell Ford. since I
believe that if there is not a
change to a Democratic govern-
ment in this country, people will
be spending too much time in
bread lines to have time to enjoy
the Red River Gorge.

Jefferson

It is with pride and pleasure
that I write this letter in support
of Robert R. Jefferson, candidate
for the Second District of the
Lexington—Fayette County School
Board. it is refreshing in an age

  

of well-founded cynicism to see a
man of his untainted integrity
and commitment become. involv-
ed in the education of tomorrow's
leaders—today's children.
Robert Jefferson is not only
concerned with an academic
education but education in
community development and
social awareness. He believbes
the “problem“ child. if oriented
toward programs that meet his
needs. will not only cease to be a
problem but will become a
positive force in tomorrow's
community. It is also reassuring
to know that Robert Jefferson has
never shirked nor in the future
would shirk from voicing the

 

concerns of the people.

America and this community
need faces and new ideas. Give
Lexingtoni-‘ayette County a cha-
nce to avoid the problems faced
by many of our sister cities. We
can only do this by working
together in peace and harmony.
We need decision makers on the
School Board who are interested
in ALL the children. I strongly
recommend to you Robert R.
Jefferson as the man who can
bring people of goodwill together.

unity by pulling 6i).

ABC controversy:

 

      
  

From the mouths of bureaucrats...

By PHIL GILLIHAN

The article on the ABC (Oct. 31) has left
‘ me quite frankly concerned — even
scared. Although the article seemingly
dealt only with the immediate effect of the
ABC policy. more particularly ABC policy
and its immediate effect on businesses, I
feel a much larger question was lurking
between the lines. Whatever one may or
may not feel about the Kernel. the fact
remains that the Kernel like any other
newspaper, is the embodiment of our
constitutional guarantee of our freedom —
freedom to speak what we will, read what
we want and criticize who we might.

If the ABC is allowed to coerce local
merchants into withdrawing ads from the
Kernel. the effect may well be to
financially injure the publication to the
extent to where it will no longer be able to
function.

The ABC supposedly does this in the
name of protecting us the students from
the wickedness of alcohol (an idea I
personally find repugnant). Perhaps that
is their reason, and even if you agree, the
question still emerges: Does the ABC have
the prerogative to suppress such a basic
right as freedom of speech, even if the
suppression of that right is incident to their
crusade to prohibit illegal liquor ads? I
don't think so.

What I really fear however. is not that
the ABC is trying to dictate my morals.
Bureaucracies have always tried to do this
and probably always will. The question
that brings dark clouds of foreboding to
my mind is that perhaps the ABC in this
instance is not really concerned with code
violations at all.

It is of singular interest that the ABC is

concerned only with the Kernel. There are
many other student papers that fit nicely
their definition of institutionalized student
publications, a definition that must be
stretched unrecognizably to include the
Kernel —— an independent corporation. If it
is really the aim of the ABC to crack down
on advertising violations, it would seem
that these other publications would be
more legitimate game.

I fear. however, the ABC may have other
motives.

Perhaps liquor ad violations are in fact
incidental to their main objective of
financially undermining the Kernel.
instead of vice versa.

After all. the Kernel leans to the left:
Kentucky as a state leans to the right and
the ABC is a state bureaucracy. The

Kernel usually takes editorial positions
that are inconsistent with statewide
ideology and unpopular with state leaders
whatever their party. Moreover, the
Kernel supported Cook. maybe an
insignificant fact until one realizes that
Ford is still in the driver‘s seat and
conceivably could pull the strings of state
bureaucrats. Coincidence. I hope.

For whatever reason, because of illegal
liquor ads. or more significantly. because
of political motivation a basic freedom of
the Kernel is being threatened. Freedom is
a common thing. When anyone loses it, we
are all a little less free.

I urge the Kernel to fight for our
freedom.

formed by people disillusioned by
right—wing Buckleyism. which
they discovered to be a false
conservatism using Libertarian
slogans to justify adding to the
centralized power of the state.
Last year they ran a candidate
for mayor here who polled 9,000

which will assure the new party a
permanent place on the ballot.
()ne of the ways the big parties

conspire to prevent effective
opposition is through laws
requiring smaller parties to
exhaust themselves complying
with tricky nomination-petition
rules.
A Better Way

In the past, people of Liber—
tarian persuasion have had a
status quo aroma about them.
They seemed to be saying
absurdities like the free market
can provide a solution to racism;
but. increasingly. Libertarians
are refusing to let their principles
be used as an apologia for
injustice. Men like newspaper
columnist Garry Wills ~r~ who. if

he isn‘t a Libertarian. is the next
thing to it 7— played important
roles in the resistance to the war.
The 'l‘ucillc campaign has
recruited former McGovern vol-
unteers and liberal Reform
Democrats who've decided there
must be a different and better
wav.

l.lBI£RT.-\Rl.-\NSIM is a
middle-class movement. That's
hardly surprising since our
concepts of individual liberty
were born with the middle class
and have never thrived in
societies which don‘t have a large
one. Thus the Libertarians in the

Tucille campaign show their
origins.

Theirs is a neat headquarters
displaying the diligence. organi—
zation and sell—discipline you'd
expect, Although they're as
radical as any leftvwing group of
the bygone Sixties. they may
have the doctrinal stability and
organizational staying power
that outfits like SDS lacked.
Moreover. they already have at
least embryonic organizations in
no less than 27 states. In addition
to New York, Libertarians are
running candidates in such
diverse places as California.
Georgia and New Hampshire.

Not bad for a two-ryear—old idea,
built from the bottom with no big
money or celebrity name behind
it It's too early to hope out loud
that the Libertarians will be able
to become the major opponents of
the Reprocrats in a reconstitued
two-party system. but for the
over-taxed. over-regulated, over-
burdened and under-powered
millions of the American middle
class, they‘re the only people
worth voting for.

The l'MW's contract expires Nov 12 and a tentative agreement

enough time to put it though the union's complex ratification

Union officials indicated there was a possibility that if a tentative

of completing the ratification process in time to prevent a walkout.

56 legal program
Students use service to maximum

By MIKE (‘l'NNINGIIAM
Kernel StaffWriter

Although it is in only its second
month of operation. students are
using the Student Government
«86! legal services program to
the maximum. said Robert B.
(ill)lll1. Jr. the Lexington attor-
ney who directs the program.

"I'm working full time on a
part‘time basis right now." said
(iibliii. who adiises students on
their legal problems from to am.
to 1 pm each Tuesday.

"SI‘IIH It'l‘ls‘ \RI'L restricted at
this liiiie to consultation and
i'epi'cseiitation." he said The
service does not extend to
litigation

“l‘he reason it is limited so far
is because l‘iii only here three
hours per week and must deal
with an average of half a dozen
clients." he continued

“I think if the program were
expanded. it someone were
retained full time with staff. the
students could be given a broader
range of legal services." he said.

St; I'RESIHHN’I‘ David Mucci
said they are looking into plans to
expand the program, He said St;
is writing to the American Bar
.-\ssociation and the National
Legal Defense Society for advice
on the matter

"We're putting an intense
effort on tundvraising." he said
"We're also trying to persuade

the student affairs office to help
pick up part. or all. of the costs."
Mucci said.

However. the University
doesn‘t plan at this time to help
pay the costs of any extension of
the program. said Robert Zum—
winkle, vice president for student
affairs.

“WE’RE WAITING for a
written proposal spelling out the
kind of legal service he (Mucci!
thinks should be provided. and
what staffing will be required."
said Zumwinkle.

"I‘m not very optimistic."
Ziimwinkle added. "We're pretty
much budgetarily at a standstill
The only increase in the budget is
for salaries."

The only way to add new
programs is to cut back on
existing ones and Zumw inkle said
he doesn't see where to cut back
at this time

"I KNOW there are legal and
policy questions about the
university getting into this sort of
attair, such as where does
consultation leave off and
representation tin litigationi
begin. and whether state funds
could be used." said Zumwinklc.

“()ne thing I‘d like to see in the
proposal is the extent of need for
a legal services program com--
pared to other services being
offered by student affairs." he
said,

(‘aret‘enter occupies a small
comfortable house at 346 Lafay-
ette Ave. A cozy liome_ enclosed
by a white picket 'lence. it
symbolizes an American dream
of peace and security

The center‘s move last August
from its downtown location to
four regional locations appears to
bring it closer to meeting needs.

“The decentralization has been
a good move." said Nancy
Watkins. head of Bluegrass East

"It brings us right into the
cbiiimunity. Now we have a more
relaxnig. comfortable atmos
phere that everyone enjoys."

This neighborhood service is
available for UK students on
Lafayette from 8:15 am. to 5
p.m. Monday through Friday.

WITH A staff of 15 the center
supplies marital. family and
iiidiVidual counseling. plus assis-
tance in alcoholic. drug and
depression problems.

Here they deal mainly with the
emotional effects of a situation.
but they also have a psychiatric

nurse and the means to get
hospitalization if necessary.

In addition. there is a 24-hour
emergency phone service. People
contemplating suicide or having
l)’l‘s or drug problems can call
tititi 254-3844 for help. Watkins
said.

'I‘III“. (‘I‘INTER also has a
drop-in center at 31‘.) Rose Lane
for young adults who need a place
to meet. This facility is open 2
pm. to 10 pm. Monday through
Friday.

"A minister. professor or court
may refer someone to us or the
individual may come to as
himself." said Watkins. But
cooperation is essential; the
center helps those who want help.

(‘ost is determined according to
the individual‘s income. If the
person is out of work. he does not
have to pay.

The top fee for counciling is
$11. said Watkins. which is
considerably less than a psychi-
atrist's $30 fee "

Student legal problems break
down into three categories —
landlord-tenant. creditor-debtor
and administrative, said Giblin.

MOST ()F the landlord-tenant
problems concern security de-
posits, rent payments, and
termination of leases. he said.

As examples of creditor-debtor
problems he cited contracts.
bank accounts. mortgages. col-
lection agencies and private loan
difficulties. Consumer protection
problems include unfair business
practices and incompletion of
contracted services.

Administrative problems he
has dealt with include name
changes. marriages. tax ques»
tions and student employment

(BIBLIN SAID the baSic
purpose of his job is to “help
students achieve solutions to
their legal problems in the best
manner feasible."

“(iiblin gives them (the
siudcntsi an understanding of the
law. an idea of how they stand.
legally." said Mucci.

Mucci said because students'
legal problems usually don‘t
require research and litigation.
the program as it stands serves a
necessary function.

“I think we provide a viable
and valuable service." said
(iiblin. “If I didn't think this were
so. I wouldn't be here."
