If this plan works there‘s real hope for
seeing other things under construction in
l’ralltown. I'm very happy with this
decision." said Jack Blanton. vice
president for business affairs.

[K has agreed to sell its property in the
proposed construction site to the urban
county government. Blanton said.

The proposal calls for .30 apartment and
townhouse units for low income persons to
be constructed costing about $1 million.
according to Dennis Carrigan. com-
missioner for housing and urban
development for the l'rban County
Government.

Blanton identified land west of Winnie
Street and between Prall and Montmullin
Streets as the planned construction site.
He said CK will sell the six property lots it
owns in that area to the urban county
government.

According to Carrigan. funds for the
construction will come from KHC and the
CS. Department for Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). Carrigan said at a
press conference Wednesday morning that

Three \‘ational tollegiate Athletic

no way at this time to determine if UK
violated recruiting guidelines when a
prospective football recruit was provided
off-campus entertainment.

“We judge each case on an individual

the funding request would be approved.

The plan also calls for HUD to subsidize
75 to 85 per cent of the rent for tenants who
qualify under Section 8 of the 1974 Housing
Assistance Bill. For a family of four. for
example. the highest annual income for
federal rent assistance would be $11,900,
said Carrigan.

”I think first priority for the new units
should go to people who have been
displaced by government action." said

UK Head Football Coach Fran Curci
said Thursday that the Athletic
Association had not violated a recruiting
iule when 'I‘om Jordan a Florida high
school football player. was taken to the
Keeneland race track prior to the UK-
Auburn game on Oct. 11.

Jordan. a senior at Choctawachee High

them to the race track.

An NCAA regulation governing the
entertainment of a prospective recruit
during an official campus visit states
"An institution. or representative of its
athletic interests. may provide en-
tertainment for a prospective student-

( arrigan. when asked who would occupy

the new buildings.

According to Bill Bingham. president of
the Pralltown Neighborhood Association,
some Pralltown residents are in the fourth
and final year of relocation assistance,
which subsidizes their rent until new
housing is found.

Bingham said some residents might be
forced to leave when their subsidies ex-

any other site for any purpose is not
permissible."

But Curci maintains that another clause
in Article One, Section Five, paragraph
(e) of the 1974-75 NCAA Manual relieves
the Athletic Association of any violation. It
states: “However, if on-campus en-
tertainment is not available and it is
necessary to entertain a prospective
student-athlete off-campus, a student host
may be provided with a maximum of $10
for each day of the visit to cover the cost of

residents who might have to leave the area
would receive top priority if they wanted to
remain in Pralltown.

If the new units are a success, more
housing may be constructed in Pralltown
under a similar plan, Carrigan said. “I'm
awfully pleased to see the KHC take this
step because their involvement will mean
a material improvement, and that
something will finally be built in
Pralltown.“ he said.

Federal government
opens a new agency

Two months ago, the federal govern,
ment’s newestagency Opened for business.
Originally named the Department of
Strategic Arms Limitations, the agency
was intended to oversee the imr
plementation of agreements reached
under the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks
(SALT) IV pact signed in Reykjavik,
lceland, in July, 1980.

But a diabolically clever move by a
group of radical Democrats changed all
that. Led by Rep. Oleg Trotsky (D-N.Y.)
the group attached an amendment to the
legislation creating the agency "that all
provisions pertaining to surveillance and
registration of nuclear arms be applied to
the equally pressing problem of handgun
ownership within these United States."

Trotsky added his amendment on the
precise day when the National Rifle
Association (NRA) was holding its annual
convention in Honolulu. Anxi0us to draw
the 97th Congress to a close, both House
and Senate passed the bill without a
murmur and, apparently, without a
glance. President Hugo Pomfret, whose
life has been spared only by the badaim of
several w0uld be assassins in recent
months, was only too glad to sign the bill
into law. Thus it was that the Department
of Strategic and Small Arms Limitations
(DSSA) came into being, amid rather
Dela ted cries of "disgraceful," "foul,” and
a ‘a flagrant violation of our constitutional
rights.”

Because of its divnrse nature 'ix‘ . was

Arbuthnot lll is t’",p0ll$lbl€ tor the in
ternah’onal operation the domestic , ide l“
handled by one of the most remarkable
men in 90vernment Genovese
Braggadocio.

As treasurer of New York City,
Biaggadocio performed amazing feats.
During fiscal 1981, NYC has proclaimed a
huge surplus in its coffers for the first time
in almosta decade. How did Braggadocio
do it? By ramrodding massive legislation
through the state legislature, proposing
enormous taxes on gambling, houses of ill
fame, ladies of ill repute, movies and
books of prurient interest and drugs
thereby legalizing them all. In one fell
swoop, Braggadocio has nationalized and
legalized the entire Mafia, complained one
Opponent of his programs.

Braggadocio has done little to discredit
rumors that he himself is attached to the
Mafia. His standard response is, "Well if l
was, itwould qualify me for the job; shows
I know ’bout gdns."

Which presumably will come in handy in
his new job, which Braggadocio describes
this way: "Basically it’s the same as
Arbuthnot's, only he‘s looking for nukes
and I’m looking for Beretta’s. He’s using
satellites to detect silos, and l’m using
nickel alloy detectors to look for guns.“
Other equipment includes a battery of
mobile units equipped with super-sensitive
oscilloscopes which cruise the streets of
the nation's largest cities. Future plans
include emergency sidewalk blocks in
which pedestrians will be screened "like at
the airports for weaponry," explained
Braggadocio.

 

This “enforcement” phase followsa two—
month amnesty phase in which gun owners
were given a chance to register their
arms, and to explain their reasons for
having them. ”They‘ve got to have a real
reason for wanting to have a gun,”
explained Braggadocio. “Y0u can’t just
want to rub a guy Out?“ How about
selfdefense? “Sure, that’s OK,"
responded Braggadocio.

Genovese Braggadocio is realizing the
worst expectations of the NRA. "Small
means that the

spokesman Bull Hickock, whOse great
grandfather Wild Bill helped tame the

Wlll still get the guns through a black
market. It will inst he the law ab‘d‘nq

Braggadocio scotts at these tears.

That’s a bunih of crap.” he says. "Sure
'l‘ere mightbe a tax, but no way that i m

. ing to confiscate guns. me or anyone

1‘3.”

in the meantime, the gun lobby, tem
porarily unseated, is working hard in
Washington to bend the ears of Congress-
people. "We’re justbiding Our time," said
one lobbyist. "We’re just waiting for the
right bill to come along to tack Our
amendment onto it. it takes two to tango,
you know.”

In the meantime, for the first time in its
history, the United States is living with0ut
tree ownership of the handgun, and ap
parently, liking it.

Misconceptions
about the ERA

 

By Linda Ritter

 

There are many misconceptions about
the Equal Rights Amendment and
hopefully this comment mil help to clear
some of them up First. let’s read the
Equal Rights Amendment. it won‘t take
long here it is 'Equality of rights under
the law shall not be denied or abridged on
account of sex.“ Now let’s look at the
hysteria surrounding this proposed
amendment, for it is surely larger than the
amendment itself.

The amendment will not affect or in
tertere in personal relationships or private
activities. For instance, unisex restrooms,
dorms 0r barracks will notevolve from the
ERA. The case of Griswold vs. Con-
necticut, decided by the Supreme Court,
affirmed that the United States Con.
stitution guarantees the right to privacy as
a "fundamental personal right emanating
from the totality of the constitutional
scheme under which we live.”

You may ask nextab0ut the draft. The
E RA will not give Congress the right to
draft women because Congress already
has that right! Prior to the end of World
War II there were a number of bills in
trcduced in Congress to draft women and
they could have been drafted if the war
had not ended so abruptly

The ERA will absolutely not destroy
iriminal laws such as those dealing with
rape. Criminal laws are designed to
prohibit certain acts which are
detrimental to society. Rape laws do not
apply to all men they merely penalize
any person who performs the act of rape.

There is not time to discount all of the
hysteria that surrounds the ERA or to list

the benefits that will come from the
passage of the ERA, but let me recount
hat two respected men have to say for
the ERA.

'ln W72 when the Equal Rights
Amendment was before the Senate tor
ratification. l voted for the legislation

liich put Kentucky in the column of those
states utilCtl felt it was necessary to spell
out in our basic documents of government
the rights of all people without regard to

their sex | feel exactly the same way
now...” said Michael R. Moloney (D
Lexington).

"Under current laws, men as widowers
are entitled to less money in social
security benefits than their female
counterparts. A man‘s financial situation
can be as difficultas a woman’s when he is
the sole supporter of a family and no
longer able to work to his full' capacity.
With regard to child custody in divorce
cases, there have been many instances in
which the husband desired and rightfully
deserved to be entrusted with the care of
the child, but was denied custody,” said
Mr. Jordan Miller, Illinois Men for the
E RA. i say think about the good the ERA
can do for us all.

l am indebted to the National
Organization for Women and Texans for
Equal Rights Amendment as well as to
Sen. Moloney and Miller for distributing
information and making their statements
public. We all need to take a long look at
the facts surrounding this issue and
resolve ourselves to a position informed
citizenship, shunning hysteria and
reactionary passiveness.
