UK hosts

1000 for
cheering
clinic

By CHARLES WOLFE
Kernel Staff Writer

The cabinet of Student Government
president Jim Flegle got its beginnings
and somewhat of a setback in yesterday's
Student Senate meeting. Three of Flegle’s
nominees were approved by the Senate
while one was rejected.

Approved nominees are: David Muse,
administrative assistant to the president;
Mike Wilson, special assistant to the
president and director of student affairs;
and Barbara Sailer, coordinator of Student
Advisory Committees.

Bob Vice, a junior history major, was
rejected as director of public relations.

OTHER CABINET POSITIONS will be
considered at the Senate meeting next
Monday.

Each nominee was questioned by the
seven senators present after a brief in-

Picture blond hair, sparkling blue eyes,
and a dynamite personality. Combine
these and you have 20-year old Linda
Burczak, the All-America cheerleader.

A Ball State University junior, Linda is
one of 32 instructors who will spend the
summer teaching in clinics for the
National Cheerleaders Association. Over a
10 week period, she will work in eight
cheerleading clinics ranging from
Arkansas to Maryland and the Carolinas.

A NATIVE OF Fort Wayne, Ind., Linda
was tabbed as an instructor after being
spotted in an NCA clinic at Vincennes
University following her junior year of
high school. She was given an application
to forward to the NCA and was hired
during the winter. The following summer
she was an instructor and is sticking with
it.

Far from being bored, Linda says she
loves the work. ”You get to do a lot of
travelling, meet a lot of beautiful people,
and make a lot of friends.”

Retention of instructors from year to
year is dependent upon staff reports from

troductory speech about himself. They

were also questioned by Ed Riley in behalf .

of Politikos, Inc. Riley was a candidate
for the SG presidency last spring.

Muse said he does not see his job as
administrative assistant as a policy
making role but one to carry out specific
assignments from the president or the
senate. He offered an example of “writing
letters” as part of his job.

Wilson was nominated for two posts. One
will parallel Muse’s job as presidential
assistant. The other, director of student
affairs, will be independent of the
president, he said.

RILEY. WHO HELD Wilson’s job last
year, said the office is “the most im-
portant department” in 86 except for the

each clinic. Now in her third year as an
instructor, Linda must be doing something
right.

SPONSORED BY THE UK physical
education department, there are ap-
proximately 1,000 students and staff
participating in the clinic. Like Linda, the
other 31 instructors,‘both male and female,
are college cheerleaders from all over the
country.

The clinic itself is under the directorship
of three Lexington women. Ms. Milly
Rodes has been active in the NCA for 15
years. Along with Ms. Stella Gilb and Ms.
Grace Fragstein, she oversees the clinic,
which will conclude Thursday.

The students, who range in age from 13
through 17, began arriving in Lexington
Sunday, and the rush for sleeping quarters
was on. They are being housed in Kirwan
Tower, Kirwan I, Kirwan II, and two
Lexington motels. Ms. Rodes said there
are many sleeping bags also being used.

THE STUDENTS COME from Ken-
tucky, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Tennessee,
Alabama, and West Virginia, and ac-

, presidency. He asked Wilson about his

plans for the office. Wilson replied that he
wants to recycle paper on campus,’
eliminate dorm hours and change the
student code. When pressed for details,
Wilson said, “I can’t deal in specifics,”
because he said he was not fully prepared.

Sailer, coordinator of the Student Ad-
visory Committees, will work with all the
Advisory Committees to coordinate their
efforts.

THE REJECTION of Vice as director of
public relations was amended after much
discussion so that he may be nominated
again if the president sees fit.

The director of public relations attempts
to make students more aware of and in-
volved in SC.

cording to Rodes, their impressions of UK
have been very favorable. On the whole,
she said the clinic serves as a tremendous
promotion for the University. “These kids
come in here, see these dorms, and they ’re
bugeyed."

Rodes added the UK clinic is one of the
largest in the nation, but that it was
necessary to turn away some 250 ap-
plicants. She also pointed out a great deal
of planning is involved. “Our work starts
in January,” she said. This is not just a
summer job.“

THE STUDENTS ARE under a curfew.
They must be in the dorm by 10 p.m., in
their rooms by 11 pm, and lights out by
11:30 pm. Rodes said there have been no
disciplinary problems, and she expects
none to occur.

After her 15 years with the NCA, Rodes
is still openly enthusiastic about her work.
Her sentiments are shared by Linda who
said, “It never gets old because
cheerleading is constantly changing, and
to me it's an excellent way of becoming
involved with people."

UK should appoint NCAA rules expert

Interpreting rules and regulations
doesn't seem to be the most efficient
operation performed by the UK
Athletic Association but it’s
something that definitely needs to be
corrected in the future.

Recently the National Collegiate
Athletic Association . ( NCAA) leveled
two charges against UK‘s association
for rules violations and each time
University officials claimed the
violations were unintentional.

The first one, dealing with a
transfer student from a junior
college, was only effective for a short
ime. But it seems logical to think that
at an institution the size of UK a
number of athletes might transfer
from junior colleges, making it a
must for athletic .officials and ad-
missions personnel to become
acquainted with rules concerning
transfer students.

The second issue, which got the
University in hot water, was created
when a prospective student brought
his father to campus in a private

plane on a recruiting trip. NCAA rules
forbid a parent’s accompanying his
son or daughter on the trip if he in-
tends to come in a private plane.

If head basketball coach Joe Hall
would have asked Kent Benson how
and with whom he was coming to UK
this violation could have been
avoided, particularly if Hall had
consulted the NCAA rulebook.
However, he claims Adolph Rupp was
the head coach when this rule
originated and he wasn’t aware of it.
When recruiting on such a large a
scale as Hall and other coaches at UK
must do, getting the athletes to
campus should be a high priority. It
seems only logical that coaches would
be extremely familiar with NCAA and
conference rules.

By all means we hope officials here
don’t deliberately set out to violate
rules regarding athletes but we can’t
understand how regulations like the
two in question can be misleading
unless no one took the trouble to look
them up.

If questions arise when coaches
consult hard to understand rules
maybe we need a central figure on
campus who’s sole responsibility is
interpreting conference and NCAA
rules. This idea isn’t new on other
campuses.

At Indiana University basketball
coach Bobby Knight told Hall when he
ran into difficulty with rules he
consulted an expert on campus. The
University of Tennessee also has a
similar program.

UT Assistant Athletic Director Jim
McDonald reports that school’s
faculty representative to the NCAA
and Southeastern Conference is a
former president of the NCAA and
any interpretations come from him.

UT athletic officials-coaches and
assistants, admissions personnel,
members, of the university’s finance
department and anyone else related
to dealing with athletes and how they
are treated sit down twice a year and
discuss changes in rules, new rules,
etc.

McDonald said the sessions might
last as long as three hours. But in the
long run, we think these would be
three short hours if the time spent
discussing essential material would
insure the university it was treading
on safe ground.

Certainly, if he doesn't do it now,
UK’s Athletic Director Harry Lan-
caster should bring all of his coaches
together with representatives of the

. admissions office, etc., at least once a

year to clear up any misun-
derstandings they may have.

Another effective idea might be the
designation of a particular person on
campus as official rules interpreter.
This person would be responsible for
tracking down all possible rules which
might cause coaches and other of-
ficials problems. Hopefully, this
person wouldn’t become over-
burdened with petty problems and his
guidance would help coaches be more
responsible and less likely to ignore
confusing regulations.

Kernel 'iournalistic

quality' questioned

It was with dismay that I read the
editorial of June 21 headlined “Student
Government should move offices." My
dismay resulted not from an interest in the
controversy at hand, but rather from an
interest in the journalistic quality of the
KERNEL as reflected in the editorial.

1 take this opportunity to express my
concern due to the recent departure of
Mike Wines as KERNEL Editor~in-Chief. l
was under the supposition that the shallow

reasoning that appeared in Kernel
editorials during his tenure would
disappear from the paper upon his
departure. But judging from the com-
ments of June 21, it would seem that my
supposition is in error.

In characterizing Jim Flegle’s decision
to retain Student Center office space, the
editorial contains a general lack of
analysis as well as several highly
questionable assertions. First of all, the
editorial relies solely on Zumwinkle’s
counter-argument to rebut Flegle’s con-
tention that Student Government offices
should be located in the heavily trafficked
Student Center. But is Zumwinkle correct
in assuming that students are attracted to
a building that houses student

organizations? Isn’t it possible that
student traffic is generated primarily by
the services contained in the Student
Center, supporting Flegle’s claim?
Whether or not Zumwinkle is correct, the

KERNEL editorial should have given
more thought to the validity of Flegle’s
argument.

I am even more concerned, however,
about the innuendoes that the editorial
contains. First is the comment that Flegle
doesn’t want to move the office since he
would “sacrifice his elitist Student Center
address." That statement assumes that
Flegle is concerned about maintaining an
elitist address and that the address is in
fact viewed by Flegle as elitist. How do
you know that either of these claims is
factual? The second innuendo is contained

in the last sentence of the editorial: “Or is
he afraid there won’t be a showcase
nearby in which to display his debate
trophies?” Do you have any evidence to
support this accusation? If not, then why
did you say it?

Again, my purpose is not to defend the
interests of Jim Flegle, but rather to
defend my interest in reading well-
reasoned editorials. In a scholarly en-
v1ronment, cogency in journalism would
seem to be an essential ingredient of the
student press. If so, then please try to

recognizze the principle in future
editorials.

'Act on three iruths'

New York Times
By WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS

The basic truths about government
that our people should remember and
act on are:

e The separation of powers is a
device to diffuse power, diluting some-
what each branch of Government.

0 There are areas, such as speech,
press, and religion, where majorities
cannot overrule minorities.

o The basic sovereignty over the
nation resides in “the people,” not in
those who occupy the seats of the
mighty.

The over-all aim of the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights is to make it
difficult for government to do things
to people, to take it off our backs.

That lesson is sorely needed now,
for two reasons: first our people, due
to a variety of reasons, including
mounting electronic surveillance and
other invasions of privacy, have be-
come more and more submissive, and,
second, at the same time there has
been such a growing complexity in
government and such a gargantuan
growth in the size and power of admin-
istrative agencies that actions and
policies of government become virtual
tidal waves that can engulf us.

Examples that touch most consumer
interests could be given. But the most
menacing in many ways are on the
environmental front.

Most Federal agencies must give
notice and an opportunity for people
to be heard before they take off on
a new tack. But those dealing with
public lands —- Forest Service, Park
Service, Bureau of Land Management
and the like — need not do so. They
can decide without notice and public
hearings what virgin stands of timber
should be cut, what alpine basins

should be sprayed with herbicides,
what roads should be built and the
like. Public participation is not re-
quired, and if granted, is a result
solely of political pressures.

Federal agencies are authoried by
acts of Congress to take such action
as comports with “the public inter-
est." But that standard is a large ves-
sel which can be filled with the pre-
dilictions of the administrative group.
In the environmental field "public in-
terest” in the eyes of agencies is usu-
ally not the preservation of natural
wonders but the conversion of all re-
sources possible into dollars. That drift
to dollar values as distinguished from
ecological values is greatly aided by
the powerful lobbies which operate in
Wasington, D. C. The oil lobby, the

coal lobby, the uranium lobby, the
timber lobby, the highway lobby —-
these groups more often than not get
their own selfish views poured into
the huge vessel known in the law as
"the public interest.”

These forces are not venal or cor-
rupt; and the Federal administrators
are high-minded men. But the end re-
sult in another generation will be to
grind America, to bulldoze it beyond
recognition, to destroy the few re-
maining sanctuaries we have left, and
to track down and destroy many spe-
cies of wildlife which fill our plains
and mountains with a sense of wonder
and excitement and have no food
value to man.

Supreme Court of the United

Clay 'misundersfands' role of of Congress

By W. DAVID SWEATT

An article appearing in THE
KERNEL of June 19, 1973, headlined
“Corporation Forms to Support the
President’s Position on Watergate,”
deserves some response for the
dangerous assertions it includes.

James L. Clay, described as a
Lexington attorney and co-founder of
the auspicious Watergate Special
Corporation, is quoted as saying he
does not think Congress should be
conducting public hearings on the
Watergate issue.

The article continues, “He (Clay)
said that the Judicial arm of the
government should handle the
matter, and everyone else, including
Congress, should get back to the work
they are supposed to.” I say the
Congress is doing what they are
supposed to do.

Surely Mr. Clay misunderstands
the role of the Congress in protecting
the nation from the umcrupulous
dealings that may ever so oc-
casionally arise in the executive
branch. That role is one of protecting
the Republic from the kind of
collusion within the government that

effectively negates these judicial
avenues to transgressions on the
national trust.

At a time when the former attorney-
general is under indictment and the
former head of the FBI is suspect on
grounds of political intrigue, it ap—
pears entirely fitting that the

mom". Latent/Sven“

 

Congress should try to ascertain the
facts of the case.

_ These same objections to Congress’
investigative role were raised in the
Teapot Dome scandals of the Harding
Administration. The June 23, 1973,
THE NEW REPUBLIC recounts
Felix Frankfurter’s response to the
objections to the Senate in-
vestigations of that period.

Frankfurter, professor of law at
Harvard at the time the article was
written, described the situation as
follows:

“The gathering forces against the
investigations and the investigaors
reached their culminating rein-
forcement in the support of a
President who, while professing a
desire to vindicate the law, assumes
that law and order are bounded by the
Penal Code, and helped to create an
atmosphere in which necessary in-
vestigation could not thrive."

Fifty years later the people of the
United States are faced with a similar
situation. It is entirely proper that the
Congress should investigate matters
that relate to the fundamental health
of the Republic and not simply to the
guilt or innocence of a few men.

Apparently the Watergate Special
Corporation doubts the capacity of the

Congress, the press and the people of
the United States to deal fairly with
the principals in the Watergate
criminality.

The Congress in particular must
judge the President, so it appears to
be legitimate that the Congress
should collect its own information for
that judgment, rather than seeking to
monitor the multiple proceedings in
the courts of the Nation.

My personal conviction is that the
current hearings under the Govern-
ment Operations Committee of the
Senate are serving this informing
function quite well.

Those who feel a desire to express
themselves on Watergate would do
well to communicate with their
elected representatives in the Senate
and the House of Representatives,
rather than to go to a “special cor~
poration" whose aim is to help people
express themselves.

Head Gorilla returns

A note to members of Grevey’s Gorillas:

Kevin is back in town!

The 6-5 super soph, one of a dozen college stars chosen to
represent the U.S. State Department, returned last week
from a three~week tour of China.

The team was a diplomatic vehicle to further relations
between the U.S. and China, with actual competition of
secondary importance.

Grevey’s group had no trouble winning eight consecutive
games from various Chinese aggregations. Although the
Chinese teams averaged around 30 ayears of age, each
lacked the experience needed to trouble the Americans.

Grevey admitted he didn't know what to expect in the land
beyond the Great Wall, but upon his return he summed up the
trip in one word: “fabulous.”

“We saw the cities, the factories, the peasants in the fields.
And, of course, we saw the Great Wall.

“The highlight of the trip for me," Grevey added, “was to
watch an acupuncture operation in progress.”

Chairman '5 wife appears

The diplomatic highlight of the tour was an unscheduled
appearance of the wife of Chairman Mao at a reception for
the U.S. delegation. “She was very nice,” Kevin said. “After
the game, she took the team to her private opera house. ”

The tour alone would have been victory enough for the
U.S.; the appearance of Madame Mao marked the entire
operation as a diplomatic coup.

What did the people of China think of the Americans?

“Whenever we walked around, people would stand and
stare at us. It took a while to get used to that." Grevey noted
that UK teammate Jim Andrews, also a member of the U.S.
team, caused considerable head-turning when he stretched
his 6-10 frame.

Mao's revenge?

One note of consternation arose in the team’s final week in
China. “We were all pretty sick the last week,“ said Grevey,
adding that Coach Gene Bartow’s forces, out of necessity,
were forced to substitute freely in the final games.

Visitors to Mexico call such sickness Montezuma’s

Revenge. Would this Eastern dose, then, be called Mao’s
Revenge?

Chinese lack experience

Continued from Page 4

What kind of team did China form to oppose the U.S.?

“They don’t have the experience we do,” Grevey ex-
plained. “They told us that most players didn’t begin playing
until they were about 16.

“Their coaches don't know the fundamentals of the game
very well.”

Grevey predicted a rise in Chinese basketball fortunes.
“They have basketball goals all over the cities," he said in
amazement. “All the kids are playing basketball. It was kind
of surprising to see how much they thought of the game.”

The U.S.-China games were played under International
rules, a set of standards much to Grevey’s liking.

“The game is faster under international rules. And fouls
don’t mean as much. College play is very restrictive. You
can’t even touch a guy without having a foul called. Under
international rules, you can use your hands more and not get
called for it.

“Of course, the game can get a little rough,” Grevey
admitted, thinking of his confrontation with the Russian
Olympic team last spring.

Practice session punishing

   
 

Grevey found American style basketball can also be a bit
punishing. During the team’s practice sessions in Memphis,
Grevey was decked by Rich Jones, a 6-10 professional ser-
ving as a member of the opposition during drills. Grevey had
burned Jones in the first half of a scrimmage, sinking eight of
nine field goal attempts. Jones retaliated early in the second
half, turning a Grevey drive into a collision with the basket
standard. After waking up, Grevey spent the rest of the day

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP)-’I‘he THERE WERE N0 speeches at

 

Bahamas became the world’s
newest nation at midnight
Tuesday with Prime Minister
Lynden 0. Pindling and Britain’s
Prince Charles presiding over
independence ceremonies before
an estimaed 50,000 cheering
Bahamians.

THE LIGHTS DIMMED in
Nassau’s Clifford Park as the
British colors came down, and a
moment of silence followed the
playing of “God Save The
Queen."

Then, as the lights were raised
again, Pindling ordered the
Bahamas‘ new black, blue and
gold standard raised while the
strains of “March on
Bahamaland"-the national an-
them-resounded over the forested
countryside in the humid,
overcast night.

Thus ended almost three
centuries of British rule in the
first land sighted in the new
world by Christopher Columbus.

the flag-raising ceremonies, but
Pindling sent a message to all
commissioners of “family
islands” that said the flag raising
“is the signal of a new era for all
Bahamians.”

Simultaneous celebrations
were held on some of the other
islands. There will be separate
celebrations for other outlying
settlements later in the month.

Independence for the 185,000
Bahamians inhabiting about 30 of
the country’s 700 islands and cays
came about through what Pin-
dling called a “quiet revolution"

lasting 20 years.

IT BEGAN IN 1953 with the
founding of the black Progressive
Liberal party, which wrestled
control of government from the
country’s white minority rulers

 G—THE KENTUCKY KERNEL. Tuesday. Jilly 10, 1973

Holiday fireworks
Iighf the sky

The Lexington Kiwanis Club's annual fireworks display went off
without a hitch this year on July 3. although the ceremonies were
shortened because of severe storm warnings. Each year the affair
begins with small burst and works up to a finale with several ex-
plosions of colorful bursts following in quick succession. The large
photo at the bottom is a favorite of many spectators.

 

  

After trouble subsides

Uganda incident amusing WES MEETS!

BERGENFIELD. N. J. (AP)-
When James Armbruster was
packed and ready to go off to the
Peace Corps about two weeks
ago, his mother looked at the
Army duffel bag he was using
and said she hoped nobody got
the wrong idea about what ser-
vice he was in.

She thinks it amusing now-with
her son now safe-that Uganda’s
President Idi Amin had the
wrong idea about what her son
and 111 other young Americans
were doing in Africa.

I THINK HE just wanted to be
of service," Dorothy Armbruster
said Monday of her yourgest son.
“To do something more than just
take a steady job after college. I
see this and I think he sees it as a
sort of prelude."

IT SEEMED NATURAL. she
said in an interview, that James,
20, would decide after graduating
from Le Moyne College in
Syracuse to sign up for two years

The Peace Corps volunteers
were detained for two days in
Uganda on the orders of Amin,
who said he suspected they were
Israeli agents or mercenaries.
The detention ended Monday
when the President of Zaire said

they were welcome in his
country.
Mrs. Armbruster and her

husband, George, a New York
banker, are used to saying
goodby to their five sons. All are
well-traveled, she said, and one
served in Vietnam and another is
now in Hawaii doing social work.

Nixon reelection

committee may
owe $5 million

WASHINGTON (AP)-Rep.
Henry S. Reuss, D-Wis., claimed
in a letter to the Internal Revenue
Service that the Committee to
Re-elect the President may owe
more than $5 million in unpaid
income tax.

He asked the IRS to freeze the
committee’s remaining assets to
protect the governemtn in any
future claim.

A spokesman for Reuss said the
committee may owe taxes on the
appreciated value of stock given
to it and may also owe tax on any
money given in expectation of
favors, thereby making the
money taxable income rather
than a tax-free gift.

Sen. Richard S. Schweiker said
he has no doubt he is on a
reported list of Republican
senators who have displeased
Nixon. Such a list was mentioned
by Jack Anderson in his column.

“No doubt I’m on the
Republican list because I am my
own man," said Schweiker, a
Pennsylvanian.

in the Peace Corps. He had been
partly influenced by his brother
Bill’ s brief connection with the
Corps in Washington during a
college work-study course, she
recalled.

The only brother presently at
home, Robert, who works for a
Roman Catholic press service,
agreed with his mother that
James was following an in-
clination of college graduates
today to combine work and social
service.

But Robert said his brother
was practical about it, too.

“He graduated college in just
three years, summa cum laude,”
Robert said,“and he saw this
opportunity as a way of traveling
and of applying his education, as
well as a way of helping other
people.

“I HAVE NO doubt that he is
relatively calm about the whole
thing, because that's the way he
Is.”

Asked about how she felt
during her son’s confinement,
Mrs. Armbruster said the family

had not been seriously worried I

and were confident he would be
released safely.

“His father and I have great
faith in God,” she said. “We
knew He would watch over him.
We never got excited but, of
course, we’re relieved now that
it’s over.”

JAMES WAS BORN in
Bergenfield and grew up here in
the one-family, tree-shaded
frame house, playing street
games, tennis and basketball.
His father is a head usher at St.
John’s church and his mother
does volunteer work in the
parish.

James attended Regis High
school in New
