VoL LXII, No. 61

Elections Board Disqualifies SCP
By DALE MATTHEWS

Kernel Staff Writer
After four hours of testimony
and over two hours of deliberation, the Elections Board ruled
Tuesday night that the Student
Coalition Party (SCP) and all
its candidates were disqualified
in the Fall 1970 Student Government elections.
Action charging the SCP and
its candidates with spending
more than the maximum amount
for campaign expenditures was
brought by defeated candidates
Richard Anderson (ACT), Persis
Krampe (ACT), Mark Paster and
Jim Williams. The defeated candidates charged the SCP and its
candidates with violating section
1 (b) of the
"Report of the Election Board" which provides that:
"The estimated retail value of
all materials used for a candidate shall not exceed $15. Estimated retail value of all campaign materials used for a party
shall not exceed $25, with this
sum divided by the number of
candidates that party is running
and the resulting sum subtracted
from the $15 allowed each of the

party's candidates."

Those figures indicate, when
applied to the SCP and its candidates, that each SCP candidate
was allowed $12.22 and the party
itself was allowed $25. The
"estimated retail value" of the
Wildcat advertising for the SCP
alone amounted to over $350.
The controversy which led to
the landmark decision by the
Election Board began approximately on Nov. 12.
At that time a similar complaint was made to the Election
Board. The board decided not to
rule at that time, however, and
an appeal was made to the Student Government Judicial Board.
On Tuesday, Nov. 17, the
ruled that it did not have
original jurisdiction over a complaint regarding election irregularities and dismissed the
case after an hour of deliberation.
'Prejudiced' Election
Second year law student Scott
Wendelsdorf represented the four
challengers. He claimed that the
material used by the SCP "with
a retail value vastly in excess
of the legal maximum" placed
the defeated candidates "at an

inequitable disadvantage" and
that this caused "severe injury
and detriment" to the candidates.
Wendelsdorf also said that these
materials "irreparably" preju-

diced the election.
Argues Price Paid
Bill Shraberg, also a second
year law student, defended the
SCP in last night's action. Shraberg' s argument, In reference to
the charge of overspending, was
that the retail value of something
is "the price paid." He also
pointed out that the actual cost
of all the advertisements in the
"Wildcat" amounted to $51.

Limited Funds May Cut
King Library Hours

By ALICIA DAY
Kernel Staff Writer
A limited appropriation
of
funds for the UK library system
may result in a reduction of
hours for the Margaret I. King
Library.
Dr. Stuart Forth, director of
libraries, said this year's budget
is less than last year's and Is
not enough for the entire library
system to function as it has in
the past. He said the reduction
of hours is a "definite possibility" but would probably only
affect King library at this time."

Wendelsdorf argued that the
retail value of something was
what it would cost the average
person to purchase it.
Shraberg also argued that the
full page advertisement which appeared in the Nov. 19 "Wildcat"
was not paid for by the party
or the candidates; and that since
they had no knowledge of that

Forth cited the federal wage
law as another factor contributing to the problem. "Because
of this law we will either have
to produce more money to pay
our student employees or cut back
hours. Since our funds are so
limited, we may be forced to
reduce hours," he said.
Presently King's hours are
from 8 a.m. to 12 midnight on
week days and from noon to midnight on Sundays.
"Our biggest problem," Forth
said, "is making the limited

amount of money in our budget
spread over the length of the
next semester. We can't sacrifice
our book budget for services."
In the event that study hours
at the library are reduced, Foith
said the transition will be made
with "the minimum amount of
disruption for students."
Dr. Thomas St roup, chairman
of the University Senate Library
Committee, said the committee
was not happy with the pre
sent budget. He said it will not
meet the rising costs of books
and increased wages to insure effective service.
The Senate Library Committee has no authority to appropriate funds, and is only an advisory committee.
Dr. Forth said the problem
has caused concern of the entire
library staff and will affect the
academic community as a whole
at UK, and added, "I hope we
will not have to reduce hours,
but I can see no relief to the
situation. The total library program needs more support than it
has received In the last few

years."

Need far Sunday Sales?

Subcommittee Questions ABC Activities
-

An inFRANKFORT (AP)
terim legislative subcommittee
Tuesday sharply questioned the
statutory basis for alcoholic beverage control (ABC) activities outside the area of illegal sale of
alcohol.
The Interim Subcommittee on
Business Licensing and Regulations unanimously endorsed a
letter raising the questions and
voted to ask ABC Commissioner
to answer
Shidry Palmer-Ba-ll
it. The letter was drafted by
Rep. James E. Murphy,
chairman of the full Interim Committee on Business Organizations and Professions.
Sunday Sales
The subcommittee also referred, to the full committee, bills
which would allow alcoholic

102

E.

'

drinks to be sold on Sunday on
a local option basis and to be
sold in hotels and motels along
interstate highways in "dry"
territory.
Murphy said a Sunday sales
law was needed for Northern
Kentucky in light of a recent
Ohio law allowing such sales on
their side of the Ohio River.
Murphy said that Kentucky bars
would have to move across the
river to keep up with their customers if Kentucky's law were
not changed.
Murphy's letter to Palmer-Ba- ll
took issue with the ABC
department's activity in helping
control riots and civil disorders
and in the fields of alcohol education and uncovering syndicated

operations in gambling, prostitution and narcotics.
While all those areas are of
concern to all citizens, Murphy
said, agencies other than the
ABC department have been given
the responsibility under law of
dealing with them.
Palmer-Bal- l
had told of his
department's activity in those
areas at a previous appearance
before the subcommittee. That
appearance was intended to answer legislators' questions on the
statutory basis for nine regulations the department was proposing, five of which later were
scrapped.
Murphy and other legislators
also asked for more information
on two veiled allegations which
Palmer-Ba-ll
had made at that
earlier appearance.
One dealt with the statement
that "unfortunately local law enforcement is not always cooperative" in providing uniformed
personnel and vehicles for hauling prisoners and contraband.
Palmer-Ba-ll
had used that as a
basis for expressing a hope his
department could get its own
uniformed personnel, vehicles
and other equipment.

Murphy asked Palmer-Bal- l
list the local law enforcement
agencies which refused to cooperate the last two years "to execute a raid authorized by warrants of arrest or of search and
seizure."
Special Interest Croups
The other allegation which
raised some legislators' hackles
was a statement by Palmer-Bal- l
that "special interest groups plus
the efforts of certain legislators"
were responsible for the defeat
of legislation sought by his department during the 1970 Cen-erAssembly.
On another matter, the subcommittee learned that the requirement for real estate agents
to pay $30 a year for a $5,000
surety bond was giving insurance companies a "windfall" of
around $228,000 a year.
Joe Class, executive secretary
of the state Real Estate Commission, said that since the bond
has been required in 1968 there
has been only $400 paid out in
claims. The bond was intended
as a means to provide recourse
to someone who was "duped"
by a real estate salesman.

Laser Beam Used
To. Study Pollution
By DAVE BLANTON

Kernel Staff Writer
Dr. Eugene B. Bradley, associate professor of electrical engineering and physics, is currently
heading a UK research team
which is using the
laser beam to detect pollutants
in water.
The work is in its third year
at UK, and is sponsored by the
campus Office of Water Resources
of the U.S. Department of Interior.
Dr. Bradley explained that the
laser beam enters the sample
of polluted water and is scattered by the pollutant molecules.
This scattering is observed at
right angles. The molecules
which scatter the light have structural characteristics that result
in a frequency shift of the scattered, light. Each chemical pollutant has its own particular
pattern of frequency shifts and
thus can be identified from other
types.
The laser beam not only can
detect which pollutants are contained in a sample but also can
indicate the quantity of the pollutant in the sample.
Infant Stages
The study is still in its infant
stage. All of the water samples

tested thus far have been "con-

trol" samples in which the chem-

ical pollutants have been mixed
with the water by the experimenters at a controlled level. In
the future, unknown samples are
hoped to be used.
"These 'fingerprints' of the
different frequency shifts have
been known for 60 years," explained Dr. Bradley. "What is
new is that we are now able to
use this information while the
pollutants are still in the water."
Dr. Bradley believes that
someday both private companies
and government agencies will be
using the laser in this method
in the battle against pollution.
Not A Cu ll
"We don't believe that it is
and a solution to the
a cure-a- ll
world's pollution problems, but
it is one of many analytical techniques that may be used," said
Bradley.
UK owns two lasers. The larger and
model, the
Laser Raman spectrometer, was
purchased a year ago at a cost
of over $45,000. Due to its mechanisms of the light emissions,
this rnodel'i light is actually
brighter than the sun, according
to Dr. Bradley. When purchased,
it was one of eight in the world.

Potential for New Senate Council

pfifTfeig

As depressing as the campus situation might be to students concerned with obtaining an increased voice in the government of their
election of new Senate
university, there is one encouraging note-th- e

dm
n

Council members. Although the elected members tended to be the
more conservative ones of the slate available for election, they represent
a magnificent opportunity for a fresh viewpoint on the council.
The Senate Council is the policy guide of the University Senate.
The weight of the council's opinion is a heavy one, usually respected
by the body of the senate. Because of its importance, the Senate
Council is a prime avenue of student concern for such issues as the
tripartite proposal and the student advisory board proposal now facing
the faculty. It is therefore of major import that the members of the
council be attuned to the cry of the students.
The new members of the council represent such an approach.

On a national level, the Supreme Court is noted for its tendency to
transform men into liberal categories; however, UK's body of "nine
old men" tends to have the opposite effect. Many professors have
joined the Senate Council with the optimism of students spilling
over them, but when faced with the sanctions and rewards offered
by their colleagues and administrative superiors they have quickly
subordinated the student concerns. We fervently hope this will not be
the case with the new council members.

Senior, Political Science
It seems that there are strange goings
on floating around at this University.
Everybody is choosing sides and making
battle plans. This seems to be carrying
over to other things besides politics but
it can be evidenced there better than
anywhere. People are attacking personalities instead of opinions and it is getting
worse as both sides are doing this. Referring to people as twiddlededee and
twiddlededum, which was done in a recent
editorial in a certain newspaper, is ridiculous. The editorial started out condemning the slinging of mud but then the
author turned right around and wallowed
in it himself. I'm referring to Mr. Cumer's
article. I am not cutting him for we all
delve in slinging mud at times, it is a
human fault and since this is the case
I don't cut it but it should be condemned
no matter where it comes from.
If one stops and listens to the conversations going around and thinks about it
for awhile, he is bound to become perplexed. A good place to gauge this is in
the grille, where, I suppose, every University has its "grille society." The terms
used in these raps are becoming more
and more hostile. For example, people
are following President Nixon's example
of referring to adversaries as "they" or
"them". This type of wording separates
people because it puts people in the class
of "other" or "different", and I know
it is an old adage and sounds corny, but
we really are all basically the same but
just got molded differently. A word that
is used a lot is the word tactic which is a
military term. Like, what "tactic" can we
use next against "them" or "they" to
make "them" look bad. Tactic denotes
that we are at war and maybe we are,
. I don't know. But we shouldn't be at wax
with anyone. In using the word "we",
I mean both the right and the left for
we are the same except for doctrines.
As long as this kind of rhetoric prevails
it will help build up people's molds
and aid in them classifying themselves
as what they are or what side they're
.on. But maybe we shouldn't pick sides
on every issue for maybe in this way

I realize there comes a time when in

A Responsible Opposition?

I know this writing is very rambling
with the thoughts not connected very well
but words don't necessarily have to be
constructed well to convey a point I've
tried to use as little sarcasm as possible
for sarcasm is simply a put down method
If you remember your Junior high schoo
days it was a common practice to be
adept at putting people down. A person
was respected if he was a good put down
artist and many people were always looking for ways to get in little cutting jibes
on someone to make him look bad in
front of his school mates. We all have
been guilty of this at one time or another.
I suggest that much of the sarcasm that
is used today, be it political or not, is
simply a sophisticated carry over of the
fussing and fighting that we all did in
our childhood.
Sarcasm should be used, but it
shouldn't be used so bitterly. Sarcasm
can be used in a violent way and we
all perceive it differently. People using
it might not necessarily be using it bitterly
and you should not always have to look
out for toes you might step on, but we
should all be cartful with our words.
Things we say might not be meant bitterly
but they could be perceived that way.
It seems that many of us are becoming
bitter like our parents and the rest of the
world That is a bad situation.
