Almost every University college and

scientists to widely popular authors.
like Alex Haley and Studs Terkel.

The fees paid these speakers vary
considerably. “Federal employees

Lynch. coordinator of the James W.
Martin Series. which is associated with
the Masters in Public Administration
program. This. however. isn‘t true of
all speakers; some command fees as
high as 53,000. plus expenses (travel.
lodging and meals).

In addition. the sponsor must
advertise the speaker. “A conservative
estimate is ID percent of the speaker's
fee for promotion — ads. posters. et
cetera.“ said Bet Wilby. chairman of
the Student Center Board‘s
Contemporary Affairs Committee.

To meet these expenses. most
speaker programs rely on either
University funds or gifts. Two
exceptions are the SCB. which

Speaker programs often decrease
expenses by jointly sponsoring
speakers. Studs Terkel. author of

sponsored tonight by the history
department lecture committee. SCB‘s
Contemporary Affairs Committee and
the MI. King Library department of

Co-sponsoring allows several
programs to bring in a speaker whose
fee is too high for any one program to
afford. “At S l .500 or better. we have to
have a co-sponsor.“ said Chester

coordinator.

The undergraduate studies office is '

occasionally able to co-sponsor a
speaker. The office has worked with
other offices in bringing people. said
Griffith Dye. assistant to the dean of
undergraduate studies.

Approaches differ

UK‘s speaker programs differ in
their approaches to selecting speakers.
“We're trying to get away from big-
name speakers.“ said Wilby. “We're
working on forums to cover a broader
spectrum of contemporary issues and
to stretch out our funding.“ Topics
planned for the spring range from tax
reform to nuclear energy and the

Whatever the reason. the nature of

McBrayer to officially declare Nov. 3

By JAY FOSSETT
Staff Writer

Terry McBrayer, former state legis-
lator. commerce commisioner. and
chief administrative officer for Gov.
Julian Carroll, said yesterday he will
formally announce his candidacy for
governor in 12 days.

McBrayer. who spoke to a near-
capacity crowd at the Law Building
Courtroom yesterday, said his cam-
paign will not be destructive. negative
or one of simple slogans. but rather
one of specific solutions stated in a
very positive and progressive way.

The speech was part of the Student
Bar Association‘s continuing “Guber-
natorial Symposium”.

“lye always had strong ideas on
how the government should be run.”
McBrayer said. “My belief is based on

~todar

eliminate state fire codes violations.

 

a philosophy I have used all my life in
business and government alike.

“Government ought to be run like a
customer-conscious business," he said,
“not necessarily for profits but for
results — with effective and efficient
management and with careful
planning.”

McBrayer said he feels Kentucky
can have a government that responds
to the needs of its citizens and strips
away unnecessary red tape.

His main concern is avoiding tax
increases. He said Kentucky is one of
the few states in the nation that has not
increased taxes over the last several
years.

“I think we possess one of the
strongest. most diversified. and sound
economies of any state in the nation.”
McBrayer .said. “My concern and

attention is to broaden and diversify.

A GENERAL QUIET CONTINUED YESTERDAY at the Kentucky
State Penitentiary in Eddyville even though many inmates remained on a
work strike that began earlier this week.

The announced strike was tied to a long list of demands. which included
the return of stereos and other small appliances removed from the cells to

The inmates also are demanding conjugal visits with wives and girlfriends.

Prison Superintendent Donald Bordenkircher said a disciplinary commit-
tee was interviewing I“ inmates who remained in segregation cells because
they still said they will strike. He said those inmates have been locked up
mostof the time with no television. limited recreational hours and no trips to
the prison store for items such as candy and ice cream.

these economic bases in Kentucky and
continue to keep it strong and to avoid
increases in taxes.”

Another of McBrayer‘s concerns is
the pay state workers are receiving. He
said that as .governor he would give
state employees a substantial pay
increase, but would start at the bottom
level and work his way up rather than

start at the top and work his way
down.

He added that the pay increases
would not come from additional taxes
but said the additional money would
come from “the expanding coal
economy.”

McBrayer said government should
help rather than hinder its residents.
and should be one that remains sensi-

‘tive to the needs of the people.

UGANDAN PRESIDENT IDI AMIN claimed yesterday he has annexed
a 7I0~square-mi|e strip of Tanzanian territory along the western shore of
Lake Victoria amid reports of fierce fighting between troops of the two East

African nations.

A Radio Uganda broadcast monitored in Tanzania quoted a military spo-.
kesman as saying the annexation was accomplished with “supersonic speed."
and was in retaliation for Tanzania‘s alleged attack on Uganda last week.

The military spokesman. believed to by Amin himself. declared the new
boundary between the states as the Kagera River about 20 miles south of the

original border.

speaker.

While some departments
concentrate on speakers whose

interdisciplinary theme.

What’s making that loud buzzing noise?

It gets incredible gas mileage. is

Sounds like transportation too
good to turn down. right?

Right. if the sales and growing pop-
ularity of mopeds in Lexington mean
anything at all. And they should. con-
sidering the high price of gas and the
paucity of parking spaces.

even working on a way to carry his
moped with him.

Motorists are getting used to the
sound of the little whirring motor that
does a whopping 30 miles per hour.
Occasionally. a few motorists insist on
honking their horns. And then there
are those who take the time to roll
down their window and yell. “Get the
hell out of the road.“

But a motorist like that doesnt have

fic. Mopeds can weave in and out of

Road conditions in Lexington for
moped riders aren‘t the greatest. The
potholes in the middle of the roads
have been filled. but signs of last win-
ter line the outer edges of roads.

It's on the side of the road where the
mopeds travel. They catch every possi-
ble nook. cranny and bump. The
shock absorbers leave a bit to be
desired. but moped riders have de. ised
tactics to avoid the pitfalls.

One way to avoid bumps is to ride in
the middle of the road. With slower
moving traffic. a rider can move
smoothly with the flow of traffic.
Although riding on sidewalks is prohi-
bited on campus and downtown. rid-
ers “sidewalk” when trouble spots
occur.

Fall is the perferred time for a rider
and his moped to get in touch with
nature. The drawbacks are falling
leaves and flying bugs. Since a moped
does not travel fast enough. a rider
doesn‘t have to worry about bug
splats. Bugs just attach themselves to
riders' faces for a free ride.

SG senators’ refusal to discuss

resolution shows insensitivity

In refusing to consider a resolution concerning
the actions of the University administration in the
Stansfield Turner protest. the Student Senate has
shown a high degree of insensitivity.
Titled “Defense of the Lexington II." the resolu-
tion expressed disapproval at the way eight Iranian
and three American protestors were treated by the
administration. UK police and the district court.
5 The Senate passed. by two-thirds vote. a motion
objecting to consideration of the bill. According to
parliamentary procedure. such a move prevents an
item from being discussed because it is “profitless
and irrelevant."

That‘s hardly the case with this resolution. which
was sponsored by Senator Richard Dizney and oth-
ers. The resolution was a statement on one of the
most important incidents at UK in recent years. the
jailing and huge bails set for the Stansfield Turner
protestors. It requested Dean of Students Joe Burch
and President Otis Singlerary to explain the actions
of the administration.

The Senate‘s action seems to have been motivated
by a desire to avoid criticising themselves. since the
bill “reprimanded (SG) for its lack ofsupport for the
students. visiting students and faculty arrested and
convicted for protesting the Turner speech . .

But that language could have been deleted or
amended by the full Senate. In so doing. it would
have given the group a chance to elaborate their
position on the issue. and to offer individual opin-
ions on the Iranian controversy.

The Senate has already taken some commendable
viewpoints on the issue. It voted to thank and com-
mend John Smiley for his "rare act of courage and
humanitarianism" in posting $l25.000 bail for the
Iranian students. According to SG President Gene
'I'ichenor. SG also offered to contact the American
Civil Liberties Union on the students’ behalf. and
requested that District Judge Paul Gudgel grant a
study release for the students.

Iation of University regulations. That point should

 

 

Here is the text of the Student Senate Resolution.
"Defense of the Lexington l I.“ which the Senate refused
to consider at its meeting Monday night. The resolution‘s
sponsors were Richard Dizney. John C. Green. Terry
Woodruff and Greg Campbell.

WHEREAS Student Government has an explicit constitu-
tional commitment to support campus minority and third
world students and to denounce ethnic discrimination on cam-
pus; and.

WHEREAS a stark implication of discrimination in thcf

WHEREAS Student Government stands reprimanded for
its lack ofsupport for the students. visiting students and faculty
arrested and convicted for protesting the Turner speech; and.

WHEREAS the treatment of this case by the UK adminis-

though. because SG should not be concerned with
determining guilt or innocence: the case is being
appealed and will be decided in court.

But expressing an opinion on the sentencing of
the protestors and the conduct of the administration

are proper concerns forthe Senate. nota “profitless .

and irrelevant“ waste of time. The Senate did itself
and students it represents a disservice by refusingto
even consider the matter.

 

Letters to the Editor

 

Watch Jarboe

Those of us who live and work in an
academic community should. I think.
be disturbed by the letter to the Kernel
of Carol Jarboe. candidate for school
board (Oct. 30. I978). She writes:

You insult your candidate (an inac-
curate reference to Ray Wilkie)...by
saying that he has "an open mind"
about collective bargaining. Anyone
who has no firm news on this matter

is incompetent to serve. I)r. Wilkie is

“ill incompetent,

A clever slight-of—hand. but it indi-
cates that Ms. .Iarboe equates “having
an open mind" with not having a posi-
tion. Furthermore she apparently sees
the Fayette County Education Associ-
ation as a monolith with a single. fixed
position on collective bargaining. She
goes on. “the union which solicited.
encouraged. and endorsed his (Wil-
kie'sl candidacy. is not so foolish as to
support an unknown quantity"

 

I agree with Jarboe that the FCEA
members are not. in general. foolish.
and that Ray Wilkie is not so incompe-
tent as to have no position on collec-
tive bargaining. At the same time.
however. he is capable of having an
open mind on the matter; by which I

take to mean that he is looking for new

and improved means of communica-
tion between the board and the
teacher‘s organization. It is reasonable
to assume that the FCEA supports
Wilkie because a majority of its mem-
bership is looking for efforts in this
direction. But not candidate Jarboe.
She writes. “I don‘t want to have to
talk about bargaining anymore. But
you and the FCEA and your candidate
resist letting us put it behind us.“

It is clearthat Ms. Jarboe hasa fixed
position on bargaining ~ very fixed
indeed. I hope that those of us from
UK who are eligible to vote in the
Fourth District will cast a vote for

open-mindedness. and for Ray Wilkie.

What Uranium prob/em?

Production of new polyester-based wine
is another example of 'schlock marketing’

It finally happened. You knew it was
coming and I knew it was coming and
now it is here. I am speaking of syn-
thetic‘ wine. of course.

I know it sounds incredible. but this
is the truth. Diss Associates of Fair-
field. Ohio (the same. people who
brought you Velcro dentures and arti-
ficial limbs) developed ’this new pro-
duct. It comes in 60 oz. unbreakable
plasticjugs and is marketed under the
name of “Maison de Crottin.“ Rumor

Look. at $2.59 ajug. we really can’t go
wrong.“

In response to a question about vin-
tage. Williams replied. “We are not
talking about vintage years here at all
but something more on the order of
vintage months. You must understand
that this all depends on the supply of
petroleum. Another oil embargo and
we might be forced to put out some
IOquuaIity sludge. Polyesters have
become very reliable in recent years

Gig Williams. marketing manager
for Diss Associates. discussed the wine
in an interview with the magazine
Food and Wine:

“We had been looking for quite
some time for an alcoholic beverage
that would be as stable as a brick.
impervious to radical temperature
changes. rough handling and fallout.
We came to the conclusion. after some
testing. that a polyester-based wine
would meet our parameters . . .There
were some problems at first. Some of
the test subjects developed some
unpleasant internal disorders. but I
believe that has been resolved. The
product did amazingly well in the test
markets of Cleveland and Gary. Ind.

 

and look what they have done for the
clothing industry. I think you can
expect the same forward-looking atti—
tude from our wine."

The interviewer asked him if the fact
that the taste could not be discussed in
mixed company. that the consistency
of the wine was close to l0W40 and

that the bouquet was similar to Tes-.

tor‘s model airplane glue could impede
public acceptance. Williams replied.
“Oh. absolutely not. Marketing
schlock in America is as easy as lead-
ing a blind man into an elevator shaft."

Chas Main has left the Kernel. He
served as the editorial editor for some
time. I would like to repudiate the
rumours of his drug addiction and
subsequent admission to a rehabilita-
tion center in Naples. but I can‘t. Chas
did an excellent job. but we all have a
price. eh Mr. Main? Well. best of luck
and I think I speak for all of us here in
the land of the bland when I say that
we wish you a speedy recovery.
Remember. you are never alone with
methadone.

O

I suppose a few people would like to
know why I was absent from the edi-
torial page last week. I mean. I stayed
off the editorial page a couple of weeks

and there was a national panic. Last
week. nothing. Sure. G. Wayne Drum-
mond sent in a letter. but don‘t you
think that didn‘t cost me the next
month‘s rent? If anyone figures out
why I was AWOL last week. drop me a
line. Perhaps you can help me piece
things together. and explain why I
ended up in Palo Alto married to a
woman almost twice my age.

O

As a final topic in today’s potpourri.
I would like to get something off my
chest. Hey. I try to keep a breast in the
hand on current issues. You know I
read the paper. watch the news. partic-
ipate in scintillating discussions with
the various people I meet. but even I
have a tolerance level for tripe. What I
am getting to is this: What is the big
fuss over this Uranium problem?
That‘s all I hear. buzz. buzz. buzz. all
day. Uranium this. Uranium that. hey
how ‘bout that Uranium problem.
shah got‘nuff trouble with that Ura-
nium problem.

OK. OK. OK!!! Truce. already. I
would like to make my own stance
clear at this time. Yes. I agree we do
have an energy problem and perhaps
Uranium is the answer. or perhaps it
isn‘t. Who can say? In the l800‘s. they
were worried about horse manure in
the streets. Look at the progress we've
made. Now we have TV. Velcro den-
tures and debris on the moon. I believe
that a healthy awareness of our energy
needs is important. but let‘s not put all
the eggs in one basket. Let‘s ease up
with all this talk about the Uranium
problem.

Personally. I think we have passed
the point of no return. Give us a few
years and you'll have famine and old
people dying in the winter and folks
putting their dead in the deep freeze.
but for now we have Monday night
football and Billy Beer. so . . . What!
Me worry?!?

includes the hand signals
taught by the Girl Scouts and
Boy Scouts. Mopeds are also
equipped with head- and tail
lights for night riding.

The cost of mopeds runs
from $250 to Sl.000. The
$l.000 model has a bigger
engine and will go 55 miles per
hour. The average cost for a
good moped is 3500.

Even with that price, the
repairs are low. The spark plug

needs to be changed every two
to three months. A few screws
might become loose and occa-
sionly one. might need to be
replaced. ’

To Mopeds of Lexington.
mopeds is the name of the
game. Since its beginning in
July. the only moped rental
agency in this area has rented to
over 350 customers. At a rental
rate of $10 a day. the business
has already paid for itself.

Owner Ed Riley started his,
business after he bought a
moped for his girlfriend. A
dealer in Winchester talked
him into buying a distributor-
ship. He currently has eight
Nigrini mopeds. but plans to
increase the number to 20 by
spring semester.

l

Before renting. riders must
sign an agreement which states
that the rider is responsible for

'any damages to the moped. So

far, Moped of Lexington custo-
mers have had only one major
accident. Besides that. there
have been a few broken
headlights.

Riley. who also owns a bar.
said he plans to ride across the
country on a moped next
summer. Laws prohibit
mopeds on interstate highways.
so he will be traveling the back
roads.

The big trip. which Riley
hopes will be sponsored by the
dealership. will begin in Atlan-
tic City. N..l.. and end in
Oregon. Three other people
plan to accompany him.
