Group visits Lexington next week

Up With People students learn by performing

By KIM YELTON
Kernel Staff Writer

A school visiting Lexington next
week has an unusual curriculum —
its students are enrolled in a yearly
program of singing and dancing
before audiences in all parts of the
world

The administrators describe their
group as “a school of no walls” and
have named it “Up With People.”

The program was conceived 10
years ago when J. Blanton, who had
previously worked in education, met
with eight college professors in his
home in Tuscon, Ariz. They devised
educational innovations that
students were clamoring for during
the turmoil on college campuses in
the ‘60’s, according to student Sue
Lyons. She is a cast member who is
in town this week promoting the
show that will play at the Opera
House Sept. 20 and 21.

“We try to make the show appeal
to all ages,” she said, explaining the
use of different kinds of music. In
one mmber the cast of 90 members
sing about America in a special
medley for the bicentennial year.
The music ranges from early

American Indian to current rock.

However, the cast does not limit
their performances to the stage.
When they arrive in Lexington next
Sunday, they will sing at the
Shriners Hospital for Crippled
Children.

They have also performed in
prisons and even “air plane
hangers,” Lyons said, laughing, as
well as Carnegie Hall. the Kentucky
Derby and at the Superbowl this
January.

Up With People is a corporation.
Its opera ting costs are $5 million per
year. Onehalf of this is earned from
ticket sales, one quarter from the
sale of records, programs, sheet
music and other promotional
materials. The last quarter is
tuition, which costs each student
$3,600 a year.

Lyons joined Up With People in
July this year with a total of 450
students ranging in ages from 17 to
25, from all over the world. “They
try and get all different types of
pemle, all different backgrounds,”
she said.

The first month is spent in training
at the University of Arizona, Lyons
said. Students can earn up to 15

credit hours through the university,
transferable if they go to college at
the end of the year.

Each member must go through
the training. “My dad called it ‘boot
camp,’ " she said, smiling.

Practice began at 8:30 every
morning for 12 hours six days a
week. They practiced vocal num-
bers and exercised to condition
themselves for several hours of
practice in choreography after that.

There were breaks only for meals
and classes, including speech, music
appreciation and theory and
seminars with guest speakers. “It

beset by fake posters

Assistant Managing Editor

The Young Socialist Alliance
(YSA) is being misrepresented by
bogus sigm posted on campus,
according to YSA Sales Director
Dave Ferguson.

Ferguson said he found “five or
six” photocopies of a sheet of paper
calling for rapid, violent overthrow
of the “capitalistic, military in-
dustrial complex which currently
exploits the American people.”

The sign goes on to state: “The
running dogs of imperialism must be
slaughtered before the altar of the
proletariat! The bloody class
struggle must start with this elec-
tion! Vote (Peter) Camejo and

(Willie Mae) Reid (Socialist
Workers’ Party presidential can-
didates.)

The YSA, according to Ferguson,
embraces a “completely different

Lyors said.

After a month of training, five
crews of 90 members each were sent
to various parts of the country and
Canada to begin their tours. Lyons’
crew will travel to Europe later in
the year. “Up With People is very
popular in Belgium,” she said.

All travel in the United States is by
bus. When they arrive in a city, they
are met by host families. Cast
members live at their homes free of
charge, Lyors said.

Counseling center to sponsor Derby

for students with learning problems

By KEITH SHANNON
Kernel Staff Writer

Any students who might have
heard about the “derby" being held
in the Classroom Building this
Saturday may be disappointed if
they arrive to find no horses there.

But if they stick around they may
discover that they haven‘t picked a
loser after all.

The Study Skills Derby, which will
begin in room 306 at 8:45 Saturday
morning, is a workshop program to
introduce students to some of the
reasons they may be having trouble
in their studies and some remedies
for their problems.

Ms. Peg Payne. Learning Skills
coordinator for the UK Counseling
and Testing Center, said the
program will be des'gned to instruct
students in learning skills and give
them a chance to talk directlv to

faculty members about classroom
situations.

She said the Derby will “kick off"
two study skills classes given by the
University Counseling and Testing
Center.

One, a class in “Study Reading
and Classroom Strategy" will begin
on Monday, Sept 20. A ,“Critical
Reading and Thinking" class will
begin on Tuesday, Sept. 21. Both
classes will be held in room 205 of
Miller Hall.

The Derby '5 made up of nine
“events“ which include discussions
of test-taking skills and strategies,
willpower strategies and fairness of
professors to students.

Fifteen members of the UK
faculy and staff will participate in
the program.

Payne said about so students
usually participate in the Derhv

graduate students ako participate,
she said.

The biggest problems stutknts
have with studies dealwith the art of
reading, according to Payne. “Most
of the students want help in reading
faster and retaining what they read.

Another problem, she said, is in
test-taking. “During mid-terms I get
a lot of calls for help in test-taking,"
she said.

A section of the Derby which
Payne said is especially effective is
one in which students ask faculty
members questions about studying
and learning

“One question they ask a lot is
‘How come I study and study for a
test and stillcome upand flunk it?’ ”
shesaid. “Another one they ask a lot
is ‘How canl study when I am bored
to death with the course?’ "

(‘nntimwd rm mm. q

major, residing in Donovan Hall,
believes that students cannot live on
cafeteria and junk food alone.

So, using staples stored in her
rented refrigerator, Gregory de-
monstrated the art of ironing a
cheese sandwich.

First, she buttered the bread and
inserted cheese slices, then wrapped
it in heavy foil. Next, she moved the
heated iron (set on cotton, linen,
wool) slowly across the foil, allowing
time for the cheese to melt. “You
can tell when it's done by the smell
or when you hear the butter siz-
zling," said Gregory.

Another handy survival appliance
is an 80 cent electric coil. Gregory
said that by placing the heated coil
in a cup of water you can boil eggs
and heat soups or hot drinks. “I even
tried rice," she said, “but you have
to be careful not to let the coil touch
the rice or it could be messy."

Sarah Moran, Donovan hall resi-
dent adviser, said she knew people
who fried eggs on their iron. “They
spray Spam on it to prevent sticking,
break the egg and flip it over,“ she
said. Even steaks have been pre-
pared by this method, according to
Moran, but it takes a long time to
cook. When applying food directly to
the surface, it‘s wise to have a cheap
iron solely for that purpose.

The resident hall living handbook
states that “because of safety
requirements, cooking appliances
are not allowed in student rooms."
Coffee pots and popcorn poppers, the
old dorm stand-Irv. are not allowed

philosophy. We consider it a slander
on our group that anyone would put
our name on it,” he said. “We are a
non-violent group. Our goal is to
have a peaceful transition (from
capitalism to socialism).”

Bromon Rozier, another YSA
member, discovered a YSA poster of
candidate Camejo hanging on a
bulletin board of the Student Center.
A gunsight was drawn over
Camejo’s image and next to the
poster hung a list which stated “Sign
Up Here -U.K.L.A. University of

Kentucky Liberation Army. Local‘

chapter of The Kentucky Kom-
mandos (practicing the rites of anti-
socialism)."

There were nine names on the list,
ranging from “Adolf Hitler" to
“Attila.”

“It’s either the work of some
crackpot or else it's someone who is
seriously trying to hurt our cam-
paign,“ said Rozier.

Ferguson said the YSA has had
problems before with people who
have deliberately pasted signs over
YSA posters.

“That’s pretty high-class stuff,“
Rozier said, referring to the typed
copies. “The first guy would write it
out by hand and then have it
mimeographed."

The signs were usually hand-
printed and then copied; however,
the bogus signs found by Ferguson
were printed with an electric
typewriter before being
photocopied. Such a process would
make a rash of vandalism by the
same person improbable.

According to Margaret Worsham,
assistant to the director of the
Student Center, none of the YSA
memba‘s ever mentioned the phony
posters to her.

Only the bulletin boards by the TV
lounge areas are monitored, she
said. The cork boards by the card

playing area on the bottom floor are
open to anyone and are stripped
every Saturday. According to
Worsham, the posters were not
noticed by any of the Student Center
monitors.

The YSA, in its fifth year at UK,
has six dues-paying members and,
according to Ferguson, 300 to 400
sympathiaers. He derived the figure
from the number of votes YSA
candidates received in the last
Student Government election.

The national YSA movement is
currently involved in a lawsuit with
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) over the bureau‘s infiltration
of the YSA in order to gather in-
formation for the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence.

“To some degree, this (fake
posters) is similar to what the FBI
has done to our organization over the
past few years,” Ferguson said,
quickly adding that he did not
believe the FBI is actively involved
in attempting to undermind the YSA
movement on the UK campus.

On the possibility of the FBI in-
filtrating the UK movement,
Ferguson said “I don’t rule out
anything, but I don’t think so in
Lexington.“

Ferguson said the false posters
could not have been printed by
someone else in the organization
without his knowing about it. As
sales director, he is responsible for
duties such as production of posters
and leaflets for distribution on
campus.

He also ruled out the possibility of
a separate socialist movement on
campus.

“If someone was legitimately
trying to do that, he would‘ve left
some address or phone number,”
Ferguson said. “It was a deliberate
attempt to sabotage our
movement.”

Aerosol regulation delay

reflects poor judgment

After 16 months of extensive study, the
National Academy of Sciences concluded that
aerosol sprays are destroying the earth’s
protective ozone layer.

But like one who doesn’t have sense enough to
come out of the rain, the academy recommended
a two-year wait before taking action to alleviate
the problem.

At least the person who stands in the rain
knows it will stop sometime, but scientists know
that destruction of the ozone will not—as long as
fluorocarbons are emitted into the atmosphere
through aerosol sprays.

Some scientists have reported that 10 per cent
of the ozone layer will be destroyed in a few
years, even if aerosol sprays were banned today.
The academy apparently recognizes this; the
report stated that regulation of the aerosols is
“almost certain to be necessary.”

So why did the academy not recommend
regulation? One can only conclude that it was
greatly influenced by major aerosol industries
such as the 13.1. duPont Corp. which, in-
cidentally, praised the decision to delay action
for two years.

The academy proposed the delay to determine
the degree of hazard posed by release of
fluorocarbons into the atmosphere. Apparently,
the knowledge that destroying the ozone layer
causes an increase in occurence of skin cancer,
disruption of the food chain and alteration in
world climate was not significant enough for the

In simple terms, the ozone layer shields the
earth from 99 per cent of damaging ultra-violent
radiation. It is located some 15 miles above the
earth’s surface.

Since it takes years for the aerosol spray to
reach the ozone layer, scientists have predicted
that what has been sprayed to date can cause
extensive damage to the fragile protective layer.

The chlorine-based gases from the aerosol
sprays are broken down at the ozone level,
causing release of chlorine atoms. The chlorine
atoms convert the ozone layer into ordinary
oxygen, breaking down its protective shield.

The academy report concerned itself mainly
with aerosol’s effect on the ozone. Actually,
aerosol’s constitute about 60 per cent of the
damage to the ozone. Atmospheric nuclear
testing, refrigeration and supersonic aircraft
exhaust also disturb the ozone. The effects of
these pollutants should also be scrutinized and
regulated.

The academy recommended labeling aerosols,
pinpointing those containing the two most
dangerous fluorocarbons—F-ll and F-lz—so
that consumers can avoid those which disrupt
the ozone. The academy seems to think that
individual consumers should choose whether
they want to destroy the atmosphere in which we
live.

The academy’s failure to propose immediate
regulation of the aerososls is mystifying. It
reflects a prehistoric mentality not compatible

Kentuckian ad is ‘sophomoric

By JOHN W. CLINE ll

"ATTACK! man-eating canines,
foaming at the mouth. . . And if you
don't buy the Kentuckian, we’ll. . .
turn them loose."

I never realized the Kentuckian
was in any way, sort, or fashion
connected with the Lexington Metro
Police.

It is most unfortunate that those
poor, unsuspecting students in

 

commen tary

Aylesford Place Saturday night had
not subscribed to the Kentuckian.
Had they had the wisdom and the
foresight to do so, perhaps those
“maneating canines, foamingatthe
mouth” would not have been turned
loose upon them. And a Kernel
photographer would not have been
arrested.

All sarcasm aside, the ad-
vertisement placed in the Kernel
Sept. 14 by the Kentuckian magazine
exhibits sophomoric exploitation of
what may have been a morbid in-
stance of police brutality and
utilization of what some think was
unneeded force by the Metro Police
department

Whether the ad was designed
before the Aylesford incident or not
is irrelevant. It could have been

 

canceled before its Tuesday run.
And besides, the theme of the dog ad
is not unusual for the Kentuckian. A
preceding ad for the magazine
featured a “‘beautiful person”
whose murder could be avoided only
if the reader subscribed im-
mediately. A card in last year’s first
issue suggested that the magazine
would be hung if the reader did not
subscribe.

Advertising persons take great
pride in claiming the real purpose of
advertising to be not only to sell or
increase the sales of a product or
service, but also to do so by extolling
the virtues, competitive advantages,
etc. of the client‘s product.

The Kentuckian apparently
chooses not to extol the virtues of its
product, if indeed it has any virtues,
but mly to entice potential readers
by advertising threatening them or
someone else with impending doom
if the desired act (subscribing) is not
carried out. The Sept. 14 ad, for
instance, states only that the Ken-
tuckian will appeal “To the animal
instinct in all of us."

The Kentuckian’s current radio
campaign poses an interesting
question, also. The spots note that
the magazine has a special section
that should appeal to students.

To whom is the rest of the

A note of thanks to the campus
police for a friendly act.

On Sept. 10 I left my car lights on
while parked on campus. One of the
UK patrol cars noted it and had me
called so I could turn them off.

This may seem like a small thing,
but it‘s nice to be reminded that the
police can really be helpful in
situations like this.

magaa'ne supposed to primarily
appeal, pray tell? The alumni? Amy
Carter? Lexington residents? Un-
dertakers, perhaps?

As a successor to the Kentuckian
yearbook, the magazine should have
as its prime goal the serving of the
University community, particularly
since the Kentuckian is now
receiving funds from the Com-
monwealth of Kentucky. Funds that,
if not utilized in the student interest,
should be diverted to a more
productive group.

If the Kentuckian is to be suc-
cessful, it clearly will have to im-
prove its image. Many of us still
remember last year’s promise of
five issues.

When the smiling salesperson
tries to thnist a Kentuckian sub
scription upon you, ask him-her how
many isum were delivered last
year. Ask him-her to see the year—
bodt isue, which was hurriedly
put together and poorly edited.

All in all, the advertisements
placed in the Kernel by the Ken-
tuckian so far this semester reflect
its overall quality, or lack of it, as
well as the social attitude of the
magazine.

that many of the traffic problems
with bicycles are “created“ by the
cyclist. As a licensed driver, a
veteran pedestrian, and. most im-
portantly, an ardent bicyclist, I
believe this to be untrue.

Most of the problems that I
encounter on my daily ride to school
are created by unaware and un-
thinking motorists and pedestrians
who refuse to grant the right of way
to a bicycle when it is due.

The worst offender is the motorist
who makes a left or right directly
into the path of an oncoming bicycle
This leaves the rider with two
options: jump the curb or die.

A close second is the pedestrian
who strolls nonchalantly across the
street and stops to talk to a friend—-
with feet planted firmly on the spot
where your front tire is about to hit.

Alternatives? Swerve out into the
traffic and get run over or slam on
your brakes and take a dive over the
handlebars!

In short, non-cyclists, you may not
have to worry about the lowly bike
rider much longer. With your help
we'll probably become extinct!

Canine patrol has life tough at metro HQ

Duke woke up mid-Sunday morn-
ing with a start. The clanging of
church bells, ringing their somber,
joyous message from three distinct
directions, intruded upon his sensi-
tive eardrums. The one to the east
—from the Baptist church ~was the
loudest, as usual.

The aroma of breakfast floated
across the room. It smells blander
than usual, Duke thought. But then
again, he was hungry enough to eat
pure soybean meal instead of his
usual meaty dish on this particular
morning. Last night had been a later
one than usual.

He rolled off his side onto his
stomach and squinted through his
paws at Queenie. She was about 15
feet away, already awake. God,
Duke thought, she is one beautiful
hunk of dog. Just look at the tail on
that bitch!

Duke slept in the same pen as
Queenie. He liked it fairly well, but
he had paid a price for the privilege.
A few months earlier, he had
suffered the unkindest cut of all; he
had become a victim of the veter-
inarian’s sexless scalpel —a eunuch.

“Ol‘ Queenie don't need to be
slowed down by gittin‘ knocked up."
the keeper had remarked to the vet
when they brought Duke in to face
his destiny. “Besides that, Duke
can‘t keep his mind on his business
when he’s always rootin‘ around. A
police dog‘s gotta be devoted to his

job." With that, the keeper had
strolled off to meet his girlfriend.
Queenie darted her head around to
grab a flea with her incisors. Then:
“Duke, I know you're awake.
C‘mon, the keeper‘s put our food on
the floor for us —the least we can do
is eat it before the flies get to it.“

“Aw. hell, Queenie, let. the .damn ,
flies get to it," Duke-growled,»

sleepily. “I‘m not in the mood to
eat... Queenie, remember last year
when they, you know, uh, neu-‘
tralized me...?

“Yes. Duke. I remember."

“Y'know, that‘s the way I felt last
night. When we were busting that
party on Aylesford Street. It was
terrible for me! “ Duke‘s left haunch
jerked as if to add an exclamation
point to his sentence.

“Whadya mean, Duke? I mean,
we didn‘t have to get violent or
anything. Oh, I know I kinda bit that
handsome Alvin Green on the hand
—did you see his red hair? —but I
couldn‘t resist. He was so cute!”

“I know. Queenie, I know. But the
thing that bothered me was this:
here I am. four years old -that's 28
human years. I’m really not that
much older than most of the people
who were at the party last night. In
fact, I woulda liked to have been
partying some myself. Saw an Irish
Setter there, and he had a whole big
bowl of beer that somebody'd given
him.

good time after a big football day.

also wanna say that I don't see what
was so ‘cute’ about Alvin Green. All
humans look alike to me anyway."

A fly buzzed dizzily in front of
Queenie. She snapped at it but
missed. “Duke," she said, “you
can’t be a good police dog'if you’re
always questioning the reasons for
your actions. I mean, you can be
conscientious and use some discre-
tion, but when it comes down to
doing what the book tells you to do
you just can’t argue with it. That's
the way the system operates, and
you can‘t bitch about it. Not to this
bitch, anyway. Just like when you
were...neutralized."

“Yeah, but I still think we didn‘t
need all the force we used. Aren’t we
charged by the law to keep the
peace? Using dog jaws just wasn‘t
the best method to do that last night,
I believe. It was more like inciting a

Article on campus bicycle riding

was biased, misleading reporting

By EDWARD HENRY ROBBINS

I would like to comment on
William Patterson‘s thoughtless and
insulting article “ ‘Bike boom‘
brings plenty of problems" in Tues-
day’s Kernel. First, while the title is
suggestive of problems, the content
of the article by and large contained
local police officers‘ statements that

commentary

concessions to cyclists (such as
more bike routes and conveniently
placed bike racks —— or the unmen-
tioned, needed repairs to many of
the local sidewalks used by cyclists)
are not going to be made. If
anything, these statements should
suggest a title such as “Officials'
archaic mentality obstructs com-
munity efforts to combat energy
crisis.“

 

 

Secondly, the article is premised
with “Motorists and pedestrians
are very aware of the problems the
cyclists create...” I'm sure that
every cyclist regrets such incidents
as the collision between a cyclist and
pedestrian earlier this year. But
quite honestly, “every cyclist is
aware of the problems caused by
these other groups."

Motorists seem unaware of cy-
clists' movements and of the fact
that it actually takes longer to stop a
speeding bicycle than a car (be-
cause of the differences in brakes).
Thus, I might suggest that people
stop the prevalent habit of running
lights just as they turn red, of
passing a bike and then making a
right turn immediately —across the
path of the cyclist, and of making
left turns across their path. Under

these circumstances I myself have
been hit by cars and have had to stop
by taking my bike down on the
pavement (receiving both lacera-
tions and damage to my bike).

In any case, my strongest objec-
tion to Patterson's article was its
bias. If you were to receive criticism
of some local administrator. you
would most assuredly go to him for
comment. but there appears to have
been no similar attempt to go to
cyclists to ask them for comments.
May I suggest that you “get your act
together" and start acting like a
responsible news gathering
organization, so that you will no
longer remain the laughing-stock, as
you are widely regarded.

United Auto Workers strike r;

to last at least three weeks

DETROIT (AP) —Negotiators in the strike
against Ford Motor Co. indicated Wednesday
that contract talks will not resume until next
week, and a union source said the
autoworkers were bracing for a strike of at
least three weeks.

United Auto Workers President Leonard
Woodcock, who called 170,000 workers in 22
states off their jobs at midnight, said he was
not (ptimistic about prospects for a short
strike.

A union source close to Woodcock said union
bargainers feel the two sides are far apart and
arenot sure how to get talks going again.

“We know how to get in touch...Meetings
can bearranged on very short notice,” a Ford
spokesman said, and the UAW said, too, that
negotiators would be available to resume
talks before Monday.

The coast-to-coast walkout, the first against
the natim’s No. 2 automakers since a 66-day
work stoppage in 1967, became inevitable last

weekend when Woodcock announced there
had been no progress made on any major
issue dspite eight weeks of discussions.

A Ford spokesman said a survey of struck
operations —including 19 assembly plants, 33
parts depas and 43 manufacturing plants —
indicated “all picketing is going along
smoothly” without incident. He added that
60,000 non-union employes reported for work
as usual, although auto output had come to an
abrupt halt.

Financial analysts have said a brief walkout
would have no significant adverse impact on
Ford, the strikers or the national economy,
buta strike of more thana month would begin
to hurt everyone involved as well as the
economic recovery.

Striking workers are eligible for weekly
benefits ranging from $40 for a single person
to $50 fa‘ a family. The union has a record $175
million in its strike fund, enough to survive a
four-month walkout at Ford.

Schorr refuses to name source

WASHINGTON (AP) —Television reporter
Daniel Schorr risked a poSsible jail sentence
Wednesday by repeatedly refusing to tell a
congressional committee his source for a
secret House report on US. intelligence ac-
tivities.

The hearings, described as a confrontation
over the cmsfitutional rights of the Congress
to investigate vs. the rights of the press to
publish news, quickly focused on the issue of
who gave Schorr a copy of the classified
repat.

Before a midday recess, House ethics
committee chairman John J. Flynt Jr.

warned the CBS newsman eight times that he
could be sent to jail and fined for contempt of
Congress for refusing to answer questions.

Eight times, Schorr refused to answer the
questions.

My rights to withhold my sources are
protected by the First Amendment which is
absolutely essential to the free press of this
country," Schorr told the committee.

He said he would not turn over his copy of
the report na' his notes about the proceedings
of the Select Committee on Intelligence. To do
so, Schorr said, would violate his con-
stitutional rights and might jeopardize his
source.

Tremors return to Italian town,

eight dead so far, 80 injured

UDINE, Italy (AP) —- Strong tremors jolted
the quakeravaged Friuli area again Wed-
nesday, knocking down hundreds of buildings
and spreading new fear through a land that
has been shaking for more than four months.
At least eight persons were reported dead,
three of them from heart attacks.

About 80 persons were injured, many of
them from jumping out of windows. Rescue
teams started digging through land and rock
slides that reportedly buried several cars
and two army trucks, possibly with people
trapped inside.

Authorities started evacuating residents of
the worst-hit area in the northeastern corner
of Italy, moving them southward to the
Adriatic coastal tlatlands.

Damage stretched over a wide area of
Friuli, which is between the Camic Alps and

the Adriatic, and reached as far as Padua, 78
miles southwest of Udine.

The tremors were felt into Austria and
Yugoslavia, in Strasbourg, France, and
slightly as far south as Florence.

Twenty-one tremors were registered in an
eight-hour period starting at 5:22 am. Two of
the predawn jolts and one before noon sur-
pased six points on the Richter scale, ap-
proaching the strength of those that killed
nearly 1,(X)0 persons in Friuli on May
6. Since May, 241 tremors have been recorded.

Some 70,000 left homeless in the May 6
disaster will be given a choice to leave tent
cities near the wrecked tow
