Ruckelshaustells Forum

'Get involved in system'

By LINDA (‘ARNES
Kernel Sta ff Writer

TODAY. MORE than any time in recent
history, people have got to get involved in
the political system, William D.
Ruckelshaus said Wednesday night to a
nearcapacity crowd in the Student Center
Ballroom.

”As I've travelled around the country in
the last several months I've encountered
two competing reactions to the Watergate
situation.“ Ruckelshaus said.

ONE REACTION WAS that of cynicism
toward the system. he said. “Those people
think the system isn't working, won‘t work
and wonder why they should participate."

The second reaction is disillusionment
with the system. but in a way that people
want to correct the wrongs. “We must do
everything to encourage the second reac-
tion,” he added.

The audience applauded intermittently
throughout Ruckelshaus’ one hour and 15
minute speech.

IIE ALSO ENCOURAGED people in the
audience to participate in one of the
politicalparties. “If you don’t vote and get
involved. in a certain sense you forfeit
your right to criticize those who do par-
ticipate."

Ruckelshaus would not speculate on
whether President Nixon should be im-
peached and would not comment on the 80
days he spent working with former Special
Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox.

Ruckelshaus was nominated to the post
of Deputy Attorney General by President
Nixon last July and was dismissed on Oct.
20. I973 for refusing to fire Cox.

HE WAS ACTING Director of the FBI
from April, 1973 until July, 1973 after L.
t’itll‘le Gray had stepped out of public
life. From 1970 until 1973. Ruckelshaus was

Legislators debate capital punishment

By RON MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer

FRANKFURT -— State legislators heard
conflicting testimony Wednesday from the
state attorney general and 3 Louisville
activist lawyer on what could be done
about capital punishment while staying in
the bounds of the recent Supreme Court
ruhng.

Testifying before five members of the
joint house and senate judiciary com-
mittee, Atty. Gen. Ed Hancock said the
proposed code “doesn‘t go far enough“ as
it does not make capital punishment
mandatory in cases involving only one
murder.

Hancock contended there are two op-
tions open to the legislature in drafting the
code:

~make death mandatory
crimes, or

——have separate trials, one to decide
guilt or innocence, the other to set the
sentence.

been uncontested, he said. He pointed out
there is no way of knowing if the Supreme
Court would uphold either method.

Under the proposed code, murder IS a
capital offense when it is committed under
the following circumstances:

-— the act was intentional and for profit
or hire.

the act was intentional and occurred
while committing first degree arson. first
degree robbery. first degree burglary or
first degree rape.

Mthe act was intentional and the
defendant was a prisoner and the victim
,was a prison employe performing his
duties when the murder was committed.

the act was intentional and caused by
use of a destructive device.

«the act was intentional and resulted in
multiple deaths.

Supreme Court ruled that the death
penalty, as then imposed. was cruel and

The decision. in which every justice
wrote a separate opinion, came to a
general conclusion that the main objection
was to the arbitrary imposition of the
death penalty.

It was indicated that the high court
would probably uphold a law making the
death penalty automatic for specified
crimes.

HANCOCK SAID his interpretation of
the ruling was that death in a single
murder case would be upheld since the
sentence would be'predetermined.

State Sen. Mike Moloney (D-Lexington),
co-chairman of the joint committee.

questioned Hancock at length on the‘

subject. often disagreeing with him. He
then warned fellow legislators they must
be careful about what legislation is passed
in regard to the death penalty. as the
Supreme Court could redefine the
stipulations in future decisions.

“I have very serious doubts about
whether any capital punishment law is
going to be upheld should the issue go to
the Supreme Court in the future.“ Moloney
warned.

The mighty slumlord

Only the University of Kentucky could achieve a
“slumlord" rating based on the condition of a single
piece of property in the Pralltown community. The
University purchased this parcel of property, along
with 43 others, about 10 years ago when UK ad-
ministrators thought expansion of campus facilities
would flow in all directions.

It was later realized expansion would benefit the
University if it were to flow south. Thus UK was left
owning the Pralltown property on the north side of
campus. Not wanting all of this land to sit idle ad-
ministrators okayed the construction of parking lots
on some of the land, the demolition of several houses
and left others standing.

Two people seemed to be connected with the
“slumlord” accusation—Rep. William Kenton (D~
Lexington), chairman of the Kentucky House of
Representatives cities’ committee, and William
Bingham, a representative of the Pralltown Neigh-
borhood Assn. Bingham, originally attributed with
the “slumlord“ charges, denies he said it, but won’t
say who did.

Kenton. who led his committee through several
Lexington neighborhoods, said the condition of the
house offended him.

In truth. the “slumlord” charge was based on little
fact and has been blown out of proportion since
Friday. Bingham has admitted the situation was one
which he was “not completely familiar with."

The Universityowncd house has been abandoned
since November and is scheduled to be torn down in
February. Until it was boarded recently, glass was
lying on the ground from broken windows, and the
doors were wide open.

Here the University was clearly at fault. Corrective
action against a potential hazard to neighborhood
children should have been made when the house was
vacated.

Administrators say they have been willing to sell
the property for some time; this recent attack is
liable to spur their actions. The only problems
remaining are the number of parking lots on the
Pralltown property. They represent 305 parking
spaces (A and B permits only) that will undoubtedly
be razed. Only then will UK be guilty of “slumlord”
status — forced relocation.

Letters to the Kernel

I am concerned with the
present dormitory situation and
would definetly like to see some
improvements made. If students
are to grow into mature adults
they must learn to make
decisions on their own and
equally important, learn to live
with and accept other people of
both the same sex and the op-
posite sex. I feel the present
dormitory system hinders the
onset of strong male—female
freindship relationships and
contributes to preventing the
student from being able to decide
for himself what type of in—
dividual one wishes to be.

Too often students develop
boyfriend-girlfriend relation-
ships only because they are not
with each other enough to
become close as brothers and
sisters. Co-ed dorms and longer
visitation hours would give
students the necessary op—
portunities to realize that
members of the opposite sex are
not weird and different creatures
but are human beings just like
themselves.

When people mention life-style
dorms they usually think of coed

AT TWENTQ—Fll/E :

 

versus noneo-ed or visitation as
opposed to non-visitation options.
However, also important are
such atmospheres of studying or
special types of groups. For in-
stance. it would be a great asset
to foreign language students to be
able to live together and converse
in the language they are
studying. Oberlin College in Ohio
offers such an opportunity.

Students vary a great deal in
their likes and dislikes and in
their outlook on life. Yet most
people would admit that having
choices from which to choose
make life interesting. In light of
this I would definitely like to see
some more choices made
available to students in the area
of dormitory living.

(‘riminal behavior and a loss of
public trust were cited as

Lack of criminal proof and

The debate, a part of the

Wednesday afternoon at the

'I‘lllfi affirmative argument
was presented by Jim Flegle, SG

varsity debater and a senior in

Alleged wire tapping. forgery,
bribery and tax violations were
listed as grounds for im-
peachment. He also cited the loss
in public trust as further
justification for impeachment.

”It is time for the members of
both parties in Congress to do
their duty,“ said Flegle. “and
Mr. Jones and I suggest that
that duty is to impeach."

VALENTINE followed Flegle,
opening his argument in a jocular
vein. He referred to the pro-
impeachment Jones as “a recent
member of the Nixon Youth
Corp.“ He called his own team
member “an insignificant cog in
the McGovern machine."

Valentine said impeachment is
a serious step and the courts and
congressional committees should
be left to determine the truth. He
termed the affirmative claims of
crimes “rumors." and said
rumors do not link Nixon to the
commission of crimes. Im-
peachment would not solve the
nation's problems, he said.
