contracted between the state and a
local land corporation, headed by
Robert S. Miller~Carroll's Fayette
County Campaign co-chairman in
1975.

in a copyrighted article yester-
day, the Lexington Herald reported
that the leasing contract was not
handled through routine procedures
nor was there any published an-
nouncement of the agreement in
accordance with a two-year-old
(‘armll policy.

The story quoted state Finance
and Administration Secretary
Russell McClure saying he knew
that one of the owners of the
property was “our (state ad-
ministration‘s) friend and I prefer to
deal with friends as long as the state
gets its value."

MM flurc was also quoted saying it
was no business ofhis if the “friend"
may also have struck a very good
deal for himself,

hassle

Owners of the property stand to
recover nearly all their purchase
investment for the property within
the first year.

According to a deed (dated Oct. 1)
at the Fayette County Courthouse,
the Development Land Co., Inc.,
paid $335,884 in cash and “other
considerations" for the distillery
building and 6.4 acres of land.

The state lease, also dated Oct. 1,
provides for monthly payments of
$21,483 for the first four floors of the
building and an office facility plus
$5,535 to be added to the monthly
total when the fifth floor of the
warehouse is put to use.

Thus, $324,216 will be paid an-
nually to the corporation when all
terms of the contract are in effect.

The land corporation was formed
Aug. 16, according to the articles of
incorporation and two partners in

Miller's law firm are listed as the
compapy incorporators.

Miller yesterday denied any
politicalstrings were pulled and said
he was first approached about the
property leasing when a UK official
called him.

“I really don‘t remember who
called me. I sent about 20 letters out,
including one to the University, but I
don’t know if that’s how they learned
of it," he said.

But Vice President for Business
Affairs, Jack Blanton, said he in-
structed Jim Ruschell, assistant
vice president for business affairs,
to make the call after he was con-
tacted by McClure.

“Mr. McClure called in September
about the motor pool—its operation
and management. We had the option
of operating it or not operating it,”
Blanton said.

still a problem for seats at Rupp Arena

seats will be theater type with
backs,“ he said.

(letting tickets for those seats,
however, could be a problem. Last
year, students only had to present
their I.D.’s at the door in order to see
the game. This year, things will be
probably different.

“Difference in location is a big
problem." said Joe Burch, dean of
students. Last year students would
line up hours before the game at
Mcmorial Coliseum, he said. “But
this year students can‘t line up,
before the game, at Rupp Arena.”

Burch explained that UK doesn't
have a ticket window at Itupp Arena
and its location would not be a
suitable place for students to stand
for hours.

Also it would prevent selling
unused student tickets to the general
public, Burch said.

UK‘s Ticket Committee even-
tually will decide the question of

Sun spots

distribution of student tickets.
“Ideas presented to the committee
will be based on ideas from in-
dividual students and student
groups,“ said Burch who is also a
member of the Ticket Committee.

Sunday distribution of tickets is
one idea, he said.

“There has been an equal number
of students for and against Sunday
distribution (of tickets). Many
students have heavy class schedules
on Monday and students living off
campus don’t want to drive in on
Sunday (to pick up their tickets),"
Burch said.

Hal Haering, Student Government
(SG) vice president, said, “I am
personally against Sunday
distribution of tickets because many
students go home on Sunday."

Burch said, “There probably will
be Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
ticket distribution." Some tickets
will be distributed the rest of the

wedt, but, Burch said, students will
have to compete with the general
public for these tickets.

In addition to individual seats,
block seating is also unresolved. SC
is currently circulating petitions for
block seating.

“The petition is doing fantastic,
Haering said. We have 1,200 to 1,500
names. The dorms want more lists.
We should have 3,000 names by
Friday "

Haering said SG will present three
or four proposals to the dean of
students Monday. These proposals
will concern the arrangement of
block seats, where block seats will
be located and how many block seats
there will be.

But, because of the number of
seats available to students there will
not be as many blocks for basketball
as there are for football.

KRC challenges

reservoirs as

unconstitutional

(Editor's note: This is the second in
a three-part series of articles con-
cerning the Kentucky Rivers
Coalition.)

By BETSY PEARCE
Kernel Staff Writer

In order to block construction of
four Kentucky reservoirs, the
Kentucky Rivers Coalition (KRC) is
trying to prove that contracts for the
reservoirs are unconstitutional,
according to Chuck Hoffman, KRC
coordinator.

The coalition, primarily en-
vironmentalists and landowners,
appealed to Gov. Julian Carroll,
reqursting that he take action to
void contracts which allocate
$14,649,785 in state funds for
recreational development at four
proposed Army Corps of Engineers
reservoirs in Kentucky.

According to KRC attorney
William B. Martin of Louisville, the
contracts are in violation of six
sections of the state constitution and
a section of Kentucky's Revised
Statutes. "The contracts constitute

an unconstitutional and otherwise
illegal abuse of executive power,”
he said.

Former Gov. Wendell Ford signed
the contracts in 1973, obligating the
state to pay, in annual installments
with interest, half the cost of
development at each of the four
points over a 50-year period.

Martin contends that such an
obligation is “unconstitutional and
illegal“ and that landowners in the
four areas involved will be illegally
deprived of their property.

In his demand letter to the
governor, Martin charged that ”the
contracts appear to be “clearly and
plainly" in violation of state con-
stitution sections that:

«prohibit allocation of state tax
money beyond the biennium for
which the General Assembly may
appropriate;

~prohibit allocation of an-
ticipated future state revenues
beyond the biennium; and

UK gears up for swine flu program

By SUZANNE DL'RHAM
Copy Editor

Three years ago UK “just missed
by inches" a flu epidemic because it
hit the campus a few days before
everyone left for Christmas
vacation, according to Jean Cox,
Student Health Service ad-
ministrator.

This year, with a possible swine
flu epidemic threatening the nation,
UK might not be so lucky. So, while
the Fayette County Health
Department is preparing its com-
munity immunization program, the
University hospital and Student
Health Service are gearing up a
program that can “provide a service
for the University community," Cox
said.

On three dates ( see schedule), the
hospital will administer swine flu
vaccinations free to all students,
faculty, staff and their spouses.

Cox said health department of-
ficials will be involved with the
hospital‘s vaccination program in
Memorial Coliseum as well as
providing the hospital with vac-
cination supplies.

Nurses and clerical help from the

hospital will man the vaccination
stations Nov. 3 and 4 and the health
service will provide doctors and
some clerical help on these dates,
Cox said.

In addition, 15 student volunteers
recruited by the Student Health
Advisory Committee (SHAC) will
help man vaccination sites. Cox said
the hospital still needs students to
help on the vaccination dates; in-
terested people should call Lidia
Tuttle at 233-5513.

People who take the shot will go
through a “very careful" screening
process, Cox said. Everyone will be
asked to fill out a registration form
stating their date of birth. People
under 18 will be turned away, she
said, because the vaccines are
specifically for people older than
17 in three age brackets.

The two largest groups, for people
between the ages of 18 and 24, and
those between 24 and 54, will be
given the vaccine with the injector
gun. Cox said the gun is quick and
works more efficiently when it is in
constant use.

People 55 and older or those in the
“high risk" category will receive the
shot with a hyperdermic needle, Cox

said. “High risk" people are those
with diabetes or history of heart,
lung or kidney disease.

Cox also said people allergic to
eggs or who have fevers should not
take the vaccine. The vaccine is
cultured in fertilized eggs and can
cause an allergic reaction. In ad-
dition, it can produce a fever as a
side effect.

Other possible side effects from
the vaccine include redness and
tenderness at the injection site,
chills, nausea, loss of appetite,
muscleache, joint pain, headache or
fatigue. These reactions are usually
short-lived, lasting less than 48
hours.

Mine probe should prompt

essential safety legislation

After nearly eight months of investigations
and hearings, federal officials still cannot agree
on whether criminal charges should be filed
against the Scotia Coal Co.

Two explosions killed 26 persons on March 9
and 11 at a Scotia Coal Co. mine. The blasts have
been blamed on ignited methane gas.

Secretary of the Interior Thomas F. Kleppe
said earlier this week that “there is no basis at
this time for criminal charges” against Scotia, a
division of the Blue~Diamond Coal Co. Kleppe, in
effect, overruled his chief mine-safety officer.
Robert E. Barrett, administrator of the Interior
Department’s Mining Safety and Enforcement
Administration 1 MESA), was quoted last month
saying enough was known to file charges.

Kleppe maintains that he doesn’t have any
information which proves negligence on the part
of the Scotia mine. Kleppe’s competence is in
question if he has decided that 555 federal
violations of mining safety regulations since Jan.
1. 1973, and two deadly explosions don’t warrant
criminal charges.

Sen. Harrison Williams tD-N.J.), chairman of
the Labor and Welfare Committee, said after his
committee made a preliminary investigation,
that a pattern of noncompliance with safety
regulations was prevalent at the Lethcher
county mine.

in addition, evidence of lax safety enforcement
has been cited at the Scotia mine since 1965.
State regulations require that the level of
methane gas be checked in mines; federal
standards stipulate that the gas level be checked
within three hours before miners enter the shaft.

A continuous racer“; mine-safety violations

at die'mirieM'mwted in tragedy 'last'

March, when‘the miners were killed by the
methane gas explosion.

’l‘estimony given by the mine employes at the
Senate committee hearing reveals that the
Scotia Mine (To. is notorious for allowing a
deficient amount of fresh air into the mine.
Ventilation problems on the day of the first
explosion resulted directly from the lack of fresh
air needed to circulate methane gas and avoid
dangerous over-accumulation.

Sparks, which apparently ignited the ex-
plosion, were present on the two day’s when
explosions occured. A locomotive, used by a
miner in the shaft, was exuding sparks, ac-
cording to the committee report.

The second explosion apparently resulted from
sparks from a compressor. Regulations state
that spark-throwing machinery is acceptable
only if fresh air is adequate.

United Mine Workers President Arnold Miller,
during the committee hearing said it was
“haphazard management” which permitted the
gas to accumulate.

Despite the fact that mine control has ad-
vanced— through inclusion of more inspectors,
stricter guidelines, a more militant miner’s
union and greater public awareness—the record
of mining companies, like Scotia, still reflects
the need for better control.

Shortly after the explosions, for example,
MESA released records revealing that $164,335
in penalties have been assessed against Scotia
since 1970. The fines are a result of some 1,250
federal violations. However, the Scotia Coal Co.
has paid only $49,978.

It is apparent that the fine assessment system
is wholly ineffective. Fines have been lowered
simply because coal operators have complained.
And mine companies have a record of jamming
disputes over lines in the courts.

Mine operators also have become adapt at
tricking inspectors. Properly placed partitions,
for example, can draw fresh air into specific
areas quickly and easily. The partitions are used

.. to fooltheinspnectorsarid then can be removed.

Similarly, mine operators, a tightly knit, self-
interest group, have established an elaborate
information network, which is used to get the
mine “in shape” before inspectors arrive.

But, the Scotia tragedy lingers on. Teams of
miners and inspectors currently are progressing
in their search for 11 bodies that remain in the
mine. Sadly, it appears that not even a tragedy
the magnitude of Scotia can prompt essential
legislation and enforcement for mine safety.

Abortion decision irks Socialists

Medicaid denial sets back women’s rights

 

 

Yotuig Socialist Alliance

We are outraged by Congress‘s
decision to deny Medicaid funds to
women seeking abortions. This
decision is one of the biggest set-
backs of women's rights in decades.
it also marks the antrabortion
movement‘s most significant vic-
tor‘v.

 

com "I?" tary

 

By barring Medicaid-funded
abortions. except when a woman’s
life is “endangered." members of
t‘ongress are denying hundreds of
thousands of women access to safe
abortions: hypocritical politicans
ignore the human costs of this
policy

if the courts give the go-ahead,
won't the lives of every woman who
will desperately attempt self-
induced or back-alley abortions be
“endangered?“ Congress knows the
facts: beforethe l973$upreme Court
ruling, botched illegal abortions
were the leading cause of maternity
deaths.

The rich. white men who
dominate (‘ongress have brazenly
stepped in to decide the fate of
women. They are undermining the
democratic right of women to
control their own bodies~the cor.
nerstone of women‘s equality.

The policy is also flagrantly
racist. in disproportionate numbers

hospitals because they cannot afford
to pay $125 to $325 for abortions.

in addition, it enforces class
discrimination. Low-income,
working-class women, says
Congress. do not have the same
rights as wealthier women.

The Medicaid ban and Carter and
Ford‘s anti-abortion pronounce-
ments are a boon to every reac-
tionary came and right-wing outfit.

in particular, ending the right of
women on Medicaid to abortions
could easily have a domino effect on
the Equal Rights Amendment. if
the right wing sees that it is strong
enough to erode a fundamental right
already won by women, surely it will
be emboldened to step up its cam-
paign to prevent any expansion of
women's rights.

The intensified anti-women‘s
rights campaign signals a warning:
the government and the two parties
that run it are not guardians of
democratic rights. Women, blacks.
and the entire working class must
fight time and time again to
safeguard the victories we have won
in the past.

Right now. we must unite in
emergency actions to defend
abortion rights.

Picket lines, marches and rallies
have been held in several cities. Yet
some feminists hesitate to launch an
all-out national counter-offensive.
Some women are saying that

abortion is simply a personal—as
opposed to a political or presiden-
tialfiissue. But this ignores reality.

Laws codify restrictions or ex-
tensions of personal rights. Carter
and Ford‘s anti-abortion statements
and Congress’s anti-abortion vote
are political moves that undermine
the right of every woman to make a
personal choice about abortion.

At the bottom of this argument is
an electoral strategy that includes
getting Jimmy Carter off the hook.
While feminists oriented toward the
Democratic party are sickened by
Carter‘s anti-abortion stand, they
are reduced to supporting him as the
lesser anti-a bortion candidate.

Politicians abound who swear
loyalty to women‘s rights. But just
look at the liberal members of
Congress who voted for the
allocations bill cutting off Medicaid
funds: Bella Abzug, Herman
Badillo. Shirley Chisholm, Burch
Bayh. Edward Kennedy, Frank
Church and Edward Brooke.

Clearly we cannot expect
Democrats or Republicans to defend
women's rights.

Some people also pull back from
orga nizing .‘l massive abortion rights
action campaign because they fear
it will only stir up more anti-abortion
activity. But the right-wing
movement is already stirred up.
Their mobilizations of thousands
paved the way for the current
retreat on abortion rights.

Consumer focus

Protection division has led to reform

Although Kentucky’s Consumer
Protection Division is a relatively
new body—formed in 1972—its
creation has led to significant
reform in the state. Not only have
subsequent legislatures broadened
its scope and given it teeth, but its
influence has led to the institution of
two more agencies; one in
Louisville, the other in Jefferson
County.

 

bruce w. singleton

 

In last Monday’s Consumer
Protection, Forum Fit. the ‘UK‘ law
school, the heads' of the three
agencies—Assistant Attorney
General Rdbert‘Bmlock, frbm the
state; David R. Vandeventer, from
Jefferson County; and Maurice
Byrne, from Louisville~spoke of
current conditions and expressed
their desires for future develop-
ments in the area of consumer law.

“Consumer Protection is
sometimes described as a
‘movement”’ Vandeventer said. “1

rights advocates allowed the right
wing to masquerade as the majority.
Politicans can ignore the wishes of
the real majority if that sentiment is
invisible and silent.

A year ago, this same do-nothing
strategy led to the defeat of the state
ERA referenda in New York and
New Jersey.

We urge you to counter the anti-
abortion mobilizations. We urge you
to rely on your own power, not the
politicans and judges.

The answer to the attack on
women’s rights must be a massive,
united protest campaign. in-
dependent actions of the oppressed
have time and again intervened
decisively in the decisions recorded
in the legislative halls and court-.
rooms.

The Supreme Court’s original
ruling legalizing abortion reflected
the popular sentiment being
channeled into an organized
movement. Joanne Little and other
victims of American injustice won
victories because of widespread
protests.

Our party and campaign sup-
porters stand ready to join in
building a nationwide drive to
defend abortion rights.

 

This statement by Peter (‘amejo and
Willie Mae Reid. Socialist Workers
Party candidates for president and

don’t think of it as a structured
movement, but more of a flowing
thing."

He said the public’s attitude
towards the area of consumer
protection has changed
significantly.

“They used to describe us con-
sumer guys as communists and
activists,” Vandeventer continued,
“but today, the stereotypes just
don’t fit. Look at Bob Bullock. He
makes John Boy Walton look like a
bomb-throwing radical.”

Byme echoed these sentiments,
but cautioned against turning the

consumer protection movementimto.
“vast bureaucracies like-iMLv'thbi

federal level . .

“Agencies which were originally
designed to help the consumer,”
Byrne said, “have turned into anti-
consumer agencies." He noted such
agencies as the hearing aid boards
which, instead of fostering com-
petition, he said, have squelched it.

“The government people who
should be regulating are asleep at
the wheel,” Vandeventer said. “The
Congressional Oversight Committee
recently questioned the ability of the
Federal Power Commission to do its
job. But the Federal Power Com-
mission looks at the consumer like
Attila the Hun looked at the fine
people of central Asia. To say
they‘re doing a poor job at
regulating the natural gas industry
is an understatement.”

Three themes popped up again
and again: small claims court
(which is the subject of next week’s
column), criminal penalties for
certain willful violations and con-
sumer education.

Criminal penalties were the first
attempt at consumer protection in
this country. This came around the
turn of the century in the “Printer’s
Ink Statutes.” That form of
regulation was well before its time,
because courts were not willing to
prosecute white collar crimes and
punish them with jail terms.

A new Kentucky statute (KRS
514), prohibiting “Theft by
Deception,“ in some ways will
return to that concept. Vandeventer
said this statute has worked well in
Jefferson County.

“I see no reason to apply civil

said. “When you have someone who

“One guy in Louisville was selling

took the money, discounted (i.e. sold

used the theft by deception statute in

He successfully prosecuted Glen

passed. But due to the nature of the
law, collection has necessitated
court battles ever since. A criminal
statute would have eliminated some
of this problem, he said.

The consumer advocates em-
phasize, however, that the criminal
remedy should only be applied
where there is blatant bad faith and
civil remedies would not be ef-
fective. They do not think such a
statue would be necessary to enforce
judgements against companies with
“roots in the community” or who
lack the bad faith quality.

All three men agreed that one way
of effecting reform is through
consumer education. They also
emphasize that showing people
where the problem areas are may
avoid trouble before it starts.

“The Department of Education
didn‘t want the 1974 Consumer
Education Bill,” Bullock said.
“Since the bill passed, they have
tried to integrate consumer
education into their regular
schedule. The Consumer Council has
tried to get a mandatory one-half
credit hour into the schools but
failed. Until we make it mandatory,
we're merely flapping our wings.”

“If it is anything other than
mandatory,” Vandeventer said, “it
will be inherently ineffective. The
people who need it the most just
won’t use it."
