Women's athletics funding highlights 56 forum

By LINDA CARNES
Kernel Staff Writer
WOMEN‘S ATHLETICS funding was a
major topic of discussion between can-
didates for Student Government (SG)
president and vice president at the final
forum held at the Student Center Sunday
night.
The four candidates agreed more money
should be invested in women‘s athletics as
well as club sports and intramurals.

David Mucci and Mike Wilson, running
for president and vice president respec-
tively, suggested UK give women’s
athletics money gained through sale of
unused student seating at athletic events.

DAVID WILLIAMS and Emily Ledford,
presidential and vice presidential can—
didates, agreed increased funds should be
allocated to women's sports but said the
athletic department should determine the
source of the extra money.

Attended by only 20 persons, the forum
began with a five minute speech by each
candidate followed by a question and
answer session.

All candidates stressed more student
involvement is necessary in SC and

Williams said if he were elected he would
try to include all campus organizations in
SC affairs and not discriminate as the
present administration has.

MUCCI SAID he and Wilson were not
concerned with SG's philosophy as much

“a.

DAVID MUCCI

CURRENTLY. THERE are 81 cadets
enrolled in the Army ROTC at UK.

In school year 196263, there were 2,000
ROTC cadets Then, the program was not
voluntary —— all freshmen and sophomores
had to take it. The first year the program
was voluntary, 1963-64, there were 364
cadets in ROTC.

Col. Charles Brindel, chairman of the
military science program, feels this
downward trend will change Reversing
the trend will probably be due to the new
image of the voluntary army, new salary
scales and limitation on uniform and
haircut requirements.

”VIETNAM AND the affluence of the
country has had a lot to do with the decline
in enrollment,“ explained Brindel.

”Vietnam had an adverse effect on the
program. The Air Force did not have this

as trying to solve students’ specific
problems. Mucci added their platform
dealt with definite issues instead of
generalities.

Williams suggested salaries of SG of-
ficials be eliminated and the money used
for installation of a 24-hour phone service.

DAVID WILLIAMS

adverse effect and it has a more romantic
appeal. Also, students are under the im-
pression that the Air Force is more
technical. We have about as many
technical fields as they do."

In an effort to erase the image of
foxholes and bayonets, the Army is using
posters on campus, local television spots
and newspaper ads.

NEW SALARY SCALES are competitive
with those of business and industry. House
Bill 717, introduced in the Kentucky
legislature, provides for state-supported
ROTC scholarships. An ROTC scholarship
fund has also been established. These are a
few of the things the Army hopes will
bolster its image.

Brindel said, “Our image problem is a
concern. We have 21 branches in the Ar-
my. Some of these are personnel, or-
dinance corps, medical corps, tran-

He said the system would cost $1,000 and
would allow people to leave and receive
messages.

The opposition disagreed with the phone
system idea because they said it would not
be worth the money.

WHEN THE candidates were asked
their opinion on whether a committee
should be allowed to run for presidential
and vice presidential posntions all can-
didates said they thought it was specified
in the constitution that the offices should
be held by one person.

A group of seven persons filed to run as
committees but the election committee
determined it would not be legal according
to the constitution.

Williams said the issue in the campaign
is not the experience Mucci and Wilson
claim, but is instead the philosophy of
change.

IN RESPONSE Mucci said their ex-
perience in SC will benefit them if they are
elected. Mucci and Wilson both served as
administrative aides in the present SG and
resigned shortly before they announced
their candidacy.

sportation corps, military police, finance
corps, quarter master corps, and
engineering of all types. Ninety-four per
cent of the last class were in fields other
than the infantry."

The Army has just completed a survey
and its findings show cadets have only
minor complaints. The cadets did say they
liked the leadership aspects of the
program. and want more of this. Most of
the cadets liked the program to begin with.

“WE HOPE that enrollment will in-
crease next fall. The intensive information
campaign directed toward the benefits
derived from service as an Army officer
will help. Also the uniform and haircut
requirements are now limited to once per
semester. When the Army cadet
graduates, he is immediately in charge of
50 men. This is on an interpersonal level,“
Brindel said.

Continuing the war

Secretary of State Henry Kissinger last week
proved to the American people that US involvement
in Vietnam hasn‘t ended.

And. according to Kissinger. it isn‘t about to end.

Kissinger explained that the 1973 Peace Treaty.
instead of serving to extricate the US. from Viet-
nam‘s affairs. bound this country to Vietnam
“politically and morally."

This is a most disturbing statement. one which will
probably cause a furor on Capital Hill. Sen. Edward
Kennedy tD-Mass. ). who requested a Vietnam policy
statement from Kissinger, is most upset.

“It is a welcome but disturbing clarification" of
US. policy. Kennedy said. and noted the US.
still spends over $3 billion annually in Indochina.

"I am distressed that the Secretary‘s statement
seems to propound a new rationalization for our
continued heavy involvement in Indochina. Ap-
parently. the Administration now views the Paris
agreement...as creating new American com-
mitments to South Vietnam.

“Rather than chart a new beginning, the Ad—
ministration's interpretation of the Paris agreement
is perpetuating old relationships and continuing old
policies. as if nothing had changed." ‘

The disturbing aspect of US. involvement with
South Vietnam is. that while this country preaches it
is allowing the South Vietnamese to gain self-
sufficiency. it is really continuing to prop up a tyrant.

Thieu‘s Saigon regime uses its American blood
money to continue suppression of dissent and the
imprisonment of hundreds of political prisoners. And
yet the Nixon administration continues with that
time—worn public relations line about Vietnamese
selfdetermination.

If that country were allowed to choose on its own.
Thieu would be out of office before nightfall.

Once again. it is obvious the American people must
rally together to voice opposition to continued U.S.
involvement and perpetuation of that war.

It isn‘t enough that American lives are no longer
being lost. There are still thousands of war deaths
occuring.

The CS. chastises the North for failure to follow the
peace treaty. America should try following that
treaty before assailing another country for the same
violations.

potentialities in the areas of
student services as well as

student organizations are
becoming more and more
dependent upon SG (Free P. for
example) as the apparently only
source for needed available
funds. And the blame does not lie
on SG that the Student Senate is
more of a representative body
than it is a legislative body.

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL. Monday. April 8.197l--;;

'The most horrible sight I have ever seen'

By MIKE CLARK
Managing Editor

BRANDENBURG, Ky. — A father
looked into the valley that once had held
Brandenburg and chastised a child
standing at his side.

“Now, I don’t want to hear you telling
me how fake the TVis. when they fight and
their hats don’t come off. Just look at this
and you know anything is possible.”

The child turned to where his father
pointed, to a little white cottage standing
amid two piles of splintered wood.

TIII~I devastating tornado which struck
this tiny Ohio River town last Wednesday
afternoon had reduced two large frame
houses to matchsticks.

The small, frail-looking home. however.
has survived without so much as a shingle
out of place.

This was but one of an incredible series
of happenings that would have caused
smiles.

THERE WERE no smiles in Bran—
denburg, though. its citizens had just
witnessed “the most horrible sight I have
ever seen,“ according to one still-
trembling woman.

Another man sat on the porch of his
home. a building which could be seen as a
pile of sticks collected on the river bank,
half a mile away.

“He really had it bad,“ a woman con—
fided. “His wife and daughter were killed.
His son was blown out of his hands when it
hit.“

THE SON‘S BODY was found two days
later. in lndiana.

A soldier. one of the National Guard
members called in to assist, stood
silhouetted against a blackening sky. No
one else was in sight. With an M-16 rifle
slung over his shoulder, he fit the scene
perfectly. He seemed to belong there,
amid that destruction.

At the top of a hill that overlooked the
river. two men set about repairing a home.
'l‘heonly sound was the gnashing ofa saw's
teeth.

   

Before Wednesday's
IN FRONT OF what had been a funeral
home, a battered tree displayed a curtain
rod rammed through its trunk.
A man walked up to the tree, shook his
head, and pulled on the rod. It didn’t
budge.

Up the street a bit, a woman explained
how she survived the blast.

”WE (‘Ol'LDN'Tget to the storm cellar,
so we (the woman and her husband) ran
back into the house. I laid down on the
bathroom floor; my husband stood next to
the fireplace.

“1 called for him, and I really got scared
when he didn’t answer. I just knew he was
dead.

“The thing that saved our house was the
broken window in the kitchen.” She
pointed to a broken pane of glass next to a

tornado, houses lined this Brandenburg street

table. “It made a kind of wind tunnel
through that open door and on into the
living room, where my husband was."

SHE FINGERED a ceiling beam. “It’s
from the neighbor’s house. If my husband
had heard me, and had come to me, this
beam would have killed him.” She shook
her head at what might have been.

There were few spectators. Everyone
seemed to have a job to do. State police
had clamped down on sightseers, and
would allow only Brandenburg citizens
and property owners past the roadblock.
Any others. such as rescue parties, had to
wear special identification tags.

Power lines and poles were strewn
everywhere, and pedestrians made a
special effort to avoid them. Though the
lines were dead, people weren’t taking

chances. They weren‘t in the mood for
another tragedy.

DEBRIS-LADEN trucks formed a
bumper-to-bumper caravan out of town. A
cherry-picker held an electrician who
worked feverishly to retie phone and
electric lines to new poles.

Four stone walls of a laundromat stood
partially collapsed. “A man was sweeping
the floor in there,“ a passerby said. “He
heard a roar, and all of a sudden the walls
were gone. And there he was just standing
next to the machines. with a broom in his
hand. He didn't get a scratch."

Deathly dark clouds filled the sky, and
people glanced furtively as they rolled
toward Brandenburg.

“In one day. people have forgotten that
black clouds can also mean rain.“

Only water tower survived tornado's fury

By (‘IIAHLES WOLFE
Kernel Staff Writer

WANT) CNTH'RG. Ky. — Hardly
anything remains standing along High
Street. on the outskirts of Brandenburg,
save for a water tower which somehow
survived the fury of last Wednesday’s
tornado.

Today. it stands amid the rubble of
crushed houses. broken telephone poles,
shattered trees.

Rescue workers a nd townspeople m oved
slowly through the ruins. looking for
bodies of victims and anything worth
salvaging.

NATIONAL GUARDSMEN, state and
local police patrolled the streets, standing
at intersections in groups of two and three.
Collars turned up against Friday‘s 36
degree temperature, they were made even
colder by a freezing drizzle.

In a clearing at the bottom of the High
Street hill. three guardsmen stood around
a Jeep drinking coffee, and watching
cleanup efforts along the nearby river-
bank. The sergeant in charge said a body
had reportedly just been pulled from the
river. and more are expected to be found.

He pointed out areas of unusually heavy

destruction, and said the clearing where
he stood had been a funeral home. All that
remained was a sidewalk and foundation.

“YOU SEE that porch there behind the
stump?” pointing to another spot across
the street. “Hard to believe, but there
were six people in that house. There was
an elderly lady who took 75 stitches. and
her nephew was blown over the riverbank.

“Her husband told me she wasn't
worried about the stitches." he continued,
“butshe asked him to come down hereand
try to find her watch and wedding ring.“

Farther up the street, an elderly couple
stood in the doorway of their house and
watched the activity outside. They said
they would be staying there. since the
lights had been turned back on and heat
was supposed to be on before night fall.

THE OLD MAN recounted how he had
been sitting in his living room when his
wife warned him of the advancing tornado.

”She came in and said, ‘That cloud's
looking pretty bad over there,‘ " he said.
“i was sitting right by the radio. so I
turned it on and the guy said right then.
‘lt‘s right over the station right now.‘ Then
it just clicked and went off the air."

While his wife took cover in a bathroom.

he said he was in a bedroom to the rear of
the house at the time it hit. Gesturing
toward the bedroom window. he said the
wind had broken it and rushed through the
house. scattering everything not fastened
down. and leaving dirt and mud
throughout. Other than that, however. the
house had suffered no serious damage.

“I LOOKED through the window and
saw my car.“ he said. ”It didn‘t have a
dent in it — but I noticed there wasn't no
garage around it no more."

A haggard-looking man in his 30’s
walked up the street. He said he had driven
all night from Florida to reach the town
where many of his family lived.

“My sister's trailer was sitting in a
wooded area." he said. “They found it five
miles away. but I've got an aunt. niece and
nephew they‘ve never found.

"I (‘AN TELL you where they'll be when
they do." he continued. pointing to the
river.

The words were spoken without emotion.
which seemed to be true throughout the
town. Apparently. after the survivors of
Brandenburg have buried all their dead.
there will be time for grief. What hangs
over the town at this time is the fact that
some 20 people are still missing.

tornado which struck Brandenburg

To avoid backlog

Quick cataloging system begins at library

By TERESA ZIMMERER
Kernel Staff Writer

To avoid a backlog of books in
need of cataloging. M.I. King
Library administrators
established a Quick Cataloging
system in May. 1973.

A study of the cataloging
department found the majority of
materials received could be
handled by trained non-
professionals. said John M.
Bryant. department chairman.

These non-professionals now
handle the catalog cards supplied
by a Library of Congress service.

Ql'l(‘K CATALOGING allows
the professionals to have more
time to do original cataloging,
where cards are not provided
from an outside source. he said.

Professionals must research
and write catalog cards for this

small percentage of the
materials.

Quick (‘ataloging's staff began
with one professional. one sub-
professional and two staff
members. It has maintained a
permanent staff of four mem-

bers.

BESIDES GREATLY in-
creasing the output of books from
the cataloging department. the
new section is used as a training
center for incoming catalogers.

Both clerical workers and
professionals with no cataloging
experience can learn the trade
there. Bryant trains four persons
in cataloging, employs two
graduate interns and two
graduate students earn credit as
part of a library science course.

“We feel good about the sec-
tion.“ Bryant said. “The training

section has added a new
dimension to Quick Cataloging."

ANO’I‘HER dimension of the
section is Quick Cataloging ()ne

iQ(‘l t. This method rushes books

through the department instantly
and puts them on the shelves

within 48 hours of their arrival.

Economic crunch

Athletic costs spiral but money is hard to find at most universities

t liditor's note: This is part one of
a series dealing with athletic
budgetary considerations.i

Ii) NEILI. AIURGAN

(‘ollegc athletics are facing an
economic crunch. Across the
nation. costs have generally
doubled in the last decade 90
per cent of the .\'(‘AA member
schools are now running into the
red

()klahoma will only make
$0000 off its $3 million budget
front last year. Michigan had to
raise the price of football tickets
to $7 to show a net gain of $100000
on a $1 million budget. And while
six years ago. in 1968. L'K's total
athletic expenditures were about
$1.12 million. the school‘s Athletic
.-\ssociation estimated last .lune
costs wotild go to $2.8 million
during the current fiscal year.

IN F.\("l'. based on those
cstimatcs and other financial
reports front the past four years.
expenditures for I'K’s varsity
athletic programs have risen
almost twice as fast as revenues.

Because of this economic
crunch. many major colleges are
beginning to rely moreon football
programs to get through the
storm and. if possible. into the
black

Bear Bryant‘s Alabama team
got $170000 from the 1974 Sugar
Bowl, during the fiscal year
which ended last June 30. though.
the school only made $103,000 off
its entire athletics program.

lfiyen though eight colleges
have dropped football in the last
year 141 in the last decade:
because the pressure is so intense

pressure from alumni.
hometown fans and state
politicaiis for a winning team;
pressure which can cause the
most benevolent coach to develop
a "win at all cost" philosophy
major colleges now rely more
and more on football to pay a
larger portion of the total athletic
bill.
