Judge Sirica reduces sentences

WASHINGTON (APl—U 5.
District Judge John J. Sirica ended
his long involvement in the
Watergate case yesterday by
drastically reducing the sentences ot
the biggest f'sh netted in the scan
dal.

He reduced the twoand-a half to
e'ght-year sentences of John Mit-
chell, H. R Haldeman and John D
Ehrlichman to a period of “not less
than one nor more than four years. "

Ehrlichman, who went to prison
without waiting for the outcome of

his appeals. thus becomes eligible
for par ole from his Watergate cover-
up corniction after Oct. ‘28.

He is still under a ‘21) —month to
111151 ar sentencefor his conviction
in the \t'atcrgate plumbers case but
it 'w as: expected that thejudge in that
case would reduce the time to
conform with that handed out by
Sirica, li‘or Haldeman the magic
date is June 21 next year and for
Mitchell. June 22.

K'irico made his decision after
l1ca1 111g tape recorded requests for

leniency by the three men and
eloquent pleas by their lawyers.
Sirica was chief judge of the U S.
District c0urt in the District of
Columbia when the seven Watergate
burglars were indicted on Sept. 15.

l972. He assigned himself to hear
their trial and that began an in-
volvement thatended only Tuesday.

There are no more Watergate
prosecutiors pending and it is ex-
pected that Sirica will soon volun-
tarily take the title of senior judge

which will free him from day-today
courtroom responsibilities. He is 73.

Mitchell, Haldeman and Erlich-
man were convicted of conspiring to
cover up White House involvement
in the Watergate scandal and of
lying about it afterward. They
fought their conviction and sen-
tences up to the Supreme Court
without success and their were no
judicial remedies remaining other
than Sirica‘s action.

if Si rica had failed to reduce their
sentences their only other recourse

would have been intervention by
President Carter.

Ehrlichman, 52. formerly
domestic counselor to Richard
Nixon when he was president, has
been in the federal prison camp at

Women's studies lack official support

A lot of exploring and ex-

Barclay explains the cause of

Weekend ’Blast’ to benefit
youths at city’s Boys’ Ranch

By BETSY PEARCE
Kernel Copy Editor

Coming up this weekend is the
annual Blue Blast, a benefit for the
Lexington Boys’ Ranch. Anita
Madden, well-known in local social
and civic circles. is chairperson of
the event this year.

Madden begins almost a yt -1 1 1
advance preparing for the \t‘tfffktflltl.
helping her longtime friend Burdette
Campbell who is one of the Ranch's
founders.

Campbell conceived the idea for
the Boys‘ Ranch in 1962 when she
served on the advisory board of
Fayette County Juvenile Court.
While on the board, she became
aware of the needs of juvenile
delinquents and other boys who
”needed the atmosphere of a normal
home," Campbell said.

The ranch gives boys from broken
homes security that foster homes
can't provide. she said.

Because the organization receives
no federal, state or local funding.
establishing a permanent location
was difficult.

“For the first two or three years.
we used the old Fayette County

 

lnf'irrnary tor $l a year," she said.

Boys‘ Ranch occupied the building
until Admiral Gene Markey and his
1.1 He made a “generous“ con
tribution to the construction of the
current building on Royster Road.
The ranch's 30 acres were donated
by the late T0. Campbell.

public school, Campbell said.

in addition. the boys grow tobacco
and vegetables some of which are
canned and stored. Raising their
own beef and dairy cattle alsoaids

All other household tasks are done
by the boys

Acting as mother to 18 boys can be

"There’s a lot of chauffering to
lootball practices, doctors’ ap-
pointments and meetings.“ she said.

But t‘ampbell doesn’t seem to
mind. as she boasts about her
children. “They're outgoing,
uninhibited. well-adjusted and
beautifully mannered.“ she said.

(Tampbellspeaks glowingly of one
youth who. through Boys' Ranch,
graduated from Eastern Kentucky

University and later taught school.

“Wealsohave a graduate of Sayre
High School attending UK," she
said. Another youth is now a nuclear
physicist.

“None of these things would be
possible without the Blue Blast."
Campbell said. ‘The boys really
look forward to it every year."

lnher fifth year as coordinator of
the Blue Blast. Madden has watched
it grow steadily, both in attendance
and contributions to the Boys‘
Ranch.

Her job of mailing invitations
rivals that of the Census Bureau.
because she has to keep up with
changing names, addresses,
marriages and divorces.

Each year a soby—lso-foot tent is
rented for the event and elaborately
decorated in blue, white and silver.

This year’s Blue Blast begins
Friday night at the Hamburg Place
Polo Clubwith a dinner and dance,
by invitation only. in addition to
national, statewide and local
celebrities, more than 800 other
guests will attend

A flea market will be held at the
Polo Club grounth Saturday mor-
ning, with sale items including
clothingand appliances

 

interested faculty women formed a
committee to encourage the ad-
ministration's interest in more
women's courses.

The ctmmittee tries to attract
faculty and develop the women‘s
studies curriculum. it publishes a
poster each semrster describing
courses available that semester.

Four permanent courses in
English. history and human
development and family relations
are now offered. while several
classes in law, anthropology. or art
are added when possible

Students also can earn credit
through the Office for Experiential
Education

A topical major in women's
studies is also available. said Nancy
Dye. assistant profemor of history.
But student interest in the. degrree.
isn‘t high. she said.

The. general vocational orientation
of students may account for the lack
of interest. said Dye. who teaches

Thought Students 1.1 ant degrees that

history. doesn ‘t promise em-
ploymcntattci graduation she said

llalliday Bart. lay and Dye agree
there is a need for more women's
studies courses at UK. as well as
more research by women in all

academic areas.

“1 would like to see a program at
UK devoted to a very rigorous in—
vestigation of women’s place in
contemporary society. plus the
historical background of how women
got there.‘ Dye said

What‘s available now are isolated
courses in isolated departments
offered by women faculty, she said.

A new program directed toward
the woman who has returned to
college after a delay '5 Project
Ahead, according to program
director Pat Durchl'olz.

Project Ahead is for women 25
years or older “who have left the
mainstream of education and em-
ploymcm and who will be much
older than the traditional graduate,‘
she said.

Students would work in public
agencies and government and
rcceivepay as well as credit through
the experiential office. interested
students can apply in Rm. 303 in the
Administration Building.

Another development in women‘s
studies is the founding in January of
the National Women‘s Studies
Association at the University of San
Francisco. A regional structure was
set for coordinating different parts
of the country. The North Central
region includes Kentucky, Ohio.
lndiana and West Virginia.

Amato, Graves parley

Mayoral candidates Jim Amato
and Joe Graves. speaking at a
meeting of the Society of
Professional Joumalists last night,
said voters would cast ballots ac—
cording to their personal per-
ceptions of the candidates.

With the election five weeks away
and their campaigns growing in-
creasingly personal. Amato said
‘Thelast isue is: who is the best
man to sit in this office?“

Graves, sounding the dominant
theme of his campaign, said Amato
was inextricably linked to Gov.
Julian Carroll‘s Democratic
“Machine" because of his ap-
pointment to the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board as commissioner.

‘Which of the candidates is
politically independent?” Graves
asked. “I believe Jim Amato traded

action against gays without worrying that it will
be overruled in court.

The (‘ourt usually denies certiorari because a
case does not raise a substantial federal
question. That‘s what makes Monday's non-
decision so puzzling and disappointing.

The policy of firing homosexual teachers does
pose th is federal question: Should there be a US.
law banning discrimination because of sexual
preference?

The answer is yes. especially in view of the
federal laws which prohibit bias against those of
another race. religion, sex, age. color and
naiionality.

Another possible reason for the Court‘s denial
of review is fear of causing controversy.

Ustensibly ihousands of people have been
caught up in Hurricane Anita‘s lurid campaign
to rid our nai ion‘s schools of gay teachers. These
same people, who would much rather have their
kiddies caught by prostitutes, have used the
Bible «0 ostracize homosexuals. And if their
Supreme ('ourt would address the issue of gay
rights, ahen Anita‘s Army would storm
Washington.

BU: isn‘t it ironic that a nation which espouses
.he docsrine of human rights for the rest of the
world. abr'idges the rights of its own citizens?

A few years ago. some people who
intimidated decided the
blanket had to go. They advocated
an open market for the advertising
of prices. They advocated that
products have descriptions on their

what they were buying.

What a nice idea.

Why should you have to go to a

What a nice idea. But I don't think
it‘s working.

As much work as has been done to
“free“ the fair market system. it
isn‘t working and probably will
continue that way. After a while. it
seems. people just stop caring

About a year ago. the Supreme
(‘ourt outlawed the restrictions
against advertising of prescription

druggists thought they were

Some orgarmations. manufac-
tincr‘s and professions have for
,ears kept prices and products
under a iiilie blanket. Anyone can
look under the blanket. but the
rcspwtrue industries reasoned that
'u-ipic either wouldn't bother or
would be too intimidated to ask to

 

druggist and not know what you will
be paying for a needed drug“? Why
should you be hindered from
knowing that the guy across town
sells the same drug for less money?
Why should you have to accept a
drug with a brand name (because
you don'tknow any betterr when
other products under the same
generic name may be cheaper and
just as effective?

What a nice idea.

Why should you go to an attorney

think that if you ask how much, you
might not get quite as good a job'.’

 

keeping the prices quiet until it
canre time to pay. That policy
worked well. Not many people would
ask what a drug would cost before
the prescription was filled and not
ma ny would assume that it could be.
bought cheaper any place else. And
not many people would go around
comparing prices with friends.
People just don‘t buy Tedral Tabs
like kasaba melons.

But according to the Lexington
Leader. a year after the lifting ofthe
ad ban. Tedral Tabs still haven't
made it into a Gold Circle ad~
vertising special.

To begin with. the druggists don‘t

 

 

particularly want to advertise. They
can't be stopped if they want to. but
they aren‘t doing it. And you can't
make them advertise. You might
think the druggists are still trying to
keep the blanket on.

l’iut it‘s more probable that so few
customers are even asking for
spa-ific prices that the drug people
don't think they‘ll make any more by
doing so. And you can bet that if a
chain drug store thought there would
be a profit by advertising. they'd do
it

Now. what about lawyers? The
Supreme Court lifted a similar ban
on ads for lawyers this past sum-
mer. The result. locally. was a
lonesome classified by a Versailles
lawyer. That's been about it.

I talked to a few attorneys this
past summer. who said why they
thought things wouldn‘t change
much and why some of the possible
changes wouldn't help too many
people.

To begin with, the lawyers seem to
be much like druggists. They don‘t
particularly want to advertise. And.

again; you can’t make them. Some
lawyers think that taking out a page
in the Sunday paper insert would be
demeaning to the. profession.

Manythink that people just aren‘t
going to ask that much. (.‘lients want
a job done. they wantit done right.
The money is important but not as
nruchasgettingthething done right.

The attorneys secured to think that
if advertising in the profession does
catch on. it will be done by two
different groups; the young guys
that nobody has ever heard of. and
the guys that have lost all of their
past clientele ‘cause they‘re such
screw ups.

The good lawyers will already
have an established clientele. It will
build through client recom-
mendations.

The young guys, who need it,
might benefit from ads. But people
might start thinking that the
lawyers who advertise are the
screw~ups

It was such a good idea. It‘s just
like most of the consumerism
moves, though. After a while. the
general public just forgets or doesn't
care to look at prices or labels for

certain things. They might compare
prices of bread. but they won‘t look
at what itsmade of.

And they won't compare prices of
Amoxocillin. if the public really
wanted to know the prices of some
professional services. those
professional services would ad-
vertise.

It goes both ways, though. People
stop asking. Manufacturers and
professionals don’t want to tell
anyway. And manufacturers, in
particular, learn how to be honest
when they put the contents of their
products on the box or label.

I asked a friend recently if she
knew what that new fiber breakfast
cereal she purchased contained. The
label listed the product contents.
Unfortunately. you need a degree in
biology to read that particular label.

A television show explained what
the label really said. Yes, the cereal
is high in fiber, but the label doesn‘t
tell you that the cereal is made of
trees. Exciting to the palate
perhaps. but trees nevertheless.

And it was such a good idea.

Rights fight

I am responding to the letter in the
Sept. 30 Kernel written by Patricia
Todd concerning the Bakke taf-
firmative action) question.

The concept of affirmative action
is totally contrary to American
ideals, its society and its Con-
stitution.

All people should have to fight for
their rights, even in a free society.
No one person or or group of people,
regardless of race, creed or color
should have anything given to them.
Everyone should have to work for
what they expect to get in life. it is
not the current genera tion's fault for
the past injustices to mimrities and
we shouldnot have to compensate
for them.

As for the tests that Ms. Todd
claims are “white male“—those are
not discriminatory. Tests have
either correct or incorrect answers

and no amount of discrimination
could affect the way the student
ansvers the questim.

Colleges always try to get a
balanced mix of students but using
quotas cannot let all qualified
students have their chance at being
chosen.

I predict that if the affirmative
action program starts to affect a
larger share of white people, society
will witnes a new wave of
discrimination against minorities.

All the civil rights activities of the
605 and 705 will have gone to waste.
We will have gone full circle in the
fight againstinjtstice.

Carter’s Concorde dilemma
is ready-made for lawyers

NEW YORK-It turns out
that James Earl Carter Jr.,
who once was proud to say
that he was not a lawyer,
actually knows how to slide
more business to lawyers
than the lawyers know how to
uncover on their own. Carter
showed this when he proposed
that the Concorde jetliner be
allowed to land at Kennedy
Airport in New York and in 12
other cities around the

jimmy

 

breslin

 

country. Anybody who cares
about how we live un-
derstands that the wild at-
traction of new technology as
represented by the Concorde
has long passed. But for the
lawyers, it is as if the whole
world has come alive.

Most of the lawyers
working on the Concorde case
and they are three deep,
spend their lives in two
places: on the New York-
Washington shuttle and on the
payroll of a corporation that
needs something fixed. The
lawyers are not hired for
courtroom skill, but for the
ability to sway politicians and
bureaucrats. Once Irired, the
Fixer becomes physically ill
at the suggestion that the
problem will be resolved

“Well now, what do yar do
with Carter's proposal?"

“Turn it into gold Well, you
take what the mayor of
Chicago said Bilandic, his
name is. He just said that the
Conca'de never will land in
Chicago. There happens to be
a reasmable suspicion that
Bilandic doesn‘t even know
where the airport is in
Chicago. A guy like that will
fight twice as long as
somebody more
sophisticated. That‘s won-
derful. By the time we‘re
through in Chicago, my
summer pace wil be fixed up.
That's only Chicago. We can
go from Chicago to Boston to
Houston and so on. It‘ll be
wonderful. "

“Where do you stand with
New York?" he was asked.

“Well. we‘ll win the court
case there. I believe that.
Then it‘s up to Governor
Carey. He can lay in the
streets to stop the plane if he
wants to. All we’ll do is get
some federal help against
him. All these things take
time, whichis good"

The future of New York, as
distinguished from the future
of the lawyers, will be
determined in New York. Ina

tested. We’ve gone out to the
airport when the plane was
only a discussion. If they ever
tried to bring the plane in for
real, forget about it.

“You see what the British
just done? They said they’re
not going to make the planes
no more. They said it‘s too
expensive. this and that. For
two and a half years we kept
them out of this airport. Now
they‘re losing courage.
'I‘hey' re so tough, they quit.
And the French. The French
called us fish. So now they got
nothin‘ but their big mouths
left. Because who‘s going to
let a plane land when the
people living here don‘t want
it and the people making the
plane say the thing is no good
anyway andthey're not going
to make anymore. What are
you, crazy?

“They ‘re not going to dump
their mistakes on my rooftop.
As it is. I‘m up all night last
night with these cargo planes
coming in. It was foggy so
they were flying low All
night. Everytime I start

move the whole airport into
the ocean. So if we want to
push them back, how can we
let than land something new
like the Concorde? Well, we
can‘t forget about the plane.
It got me shot.

“The way we're living now,
something bad has'to happen.
There‘s got to be a disaster.
'l‘hey'll put it in the papers as
a historic disaster-77a plane
taking off from Kennedy
Airport crashes into a
community. They’ll call it
‘historic,’ and then that's it.
They‘ll go on to something
else. I don't want to be a part
of any historic thing. So keep
your Concorde home. Then
the next thing, close your
airport at night. Then after
night. the big thing: Put your
airport out in the ocean where
it belongs. It has no business
around people. We‘re not
niovrng We're moving back
to when people were the
bosses over machines."

Turchio does not represent
futile excitement. The
lawyers regard him as part of
the unschooled opposition
that keeps them on the
payrolls of the French and
British. But Turchio and his
people seem to be among the
few who can differentiate
between progress and harm.
They understand that the
Concorde is not a plane that

Concorde jet plane into
Kennedy Airport has been
going or for more than two
years. Fixers have been able
to send children most of the
way thrtugh colleges during
this time. Now Carter has
opened 11 more cities to
Concorde litigation and

mental proposals. it will be a
surprise if the Concorde ever
lands at Kemredy.

“Land here! Nothing's
gong to land here! We‘ve got
enough trouble with old
planes, what do we need with
something new?“ Ralph
Turchio was saying recently.

“This might be the best

“Sure they do. It‘s no great
