21‘

Demonstrators’ trial
enters second day

By DEBBIE MCDANIEL
Copy Editor

Delayed by lengthy testimonies and
cross examinations. the trial of II
persons arrested April l2 during CIA
Director Stanfield Turner‘s U K speech
moves into its second day today.

The state called a dozen witnesses to
the stand in Fayette District Court to
testify that the II defendants. which
include three Americans and eight
Iranians. did disrupt the speech in
violation of University regulations.

Although prosecution has
additional evidence to introduce, the
court recessed at about 6 pm.
yesterday after approximately six and
one-half hours of testimony.

Prosecuting attorney Don Todd
called the trial “a simple case“ in his
opening address to the six-member
jury. declaring that the issue involved
deciding if the demonstrators had
delayed or disrupted Turner‘s speech.
Todd and his associate. Pat Maloney.
introduced II witnesses and five
exhibits yesterday.

Prior to Turner's speech last April.
approximately 80 persons demons—
trated in the Student Center's free
speech area, chanting slogans and
carrying signs denouncing the CIA
and U.S. involvement withthe Shah of
Iran.

Several demonstrators carried signs
into the Student Center ballroom
where Turner was scheduled to speak

at 7:I5 pm. and assembled near the
rear of the room. In his opening
remarks to thejury. Todd said Dean of
Students Joe Burch approached the
protestors and warned them that they
were violating the U K Student Code of
Rights and Responsibilities. which
prohibits demonstrating in a public
meeting.

Dr. Vincent Davis. director of the
Patterson School of Diplomacy which
sponsored Turner‘s speech. was the
first witness to take the stand. He
testified that Burch and University
security personnel came to him and
described the situation that a
violation of University regulations had
occurred or was in the process of
occurring.

After conferring with them Davis
said he favored delaying the lecture‘s
beginning and attempting to
peacefully resolve the situation.

According to Todd. Burch
approached the demonstrators again
and repeatedly asked them to either
remove the signs and be seated or leave
the room. When they would not
cooperate he requested help from UK
police. They received no cooperation
either. Todd said. and at this point five
of the II defendents were arrested.

The program was delayed for
approximately 35-40 minutes. Davis
testified. which cut down the
scheduled 45 minute lecture. 45 minute
question and answer session to 20

Space Squeeze help: New architecture building to alleviate

tight conditions, communication woes

For instance. being housed in two separate buildings
has created communication problems within the college.
“We need to betogether for communication. which is so
important to our program. Separate floors and buildings
don‘t allow for this." Eardley said.

“The fundamental issue is that the current space just
doesn‘t work for architects.“ he added. “We were better
off at the Reynolds Building“ (where the college was
housed before it moved to Pense Hall in I965).

Eardley is not the only one who has noticed problems
with existing space. When representatives from the
National Architects Accrediting Board visited UK in
I977. they summari7ed their findings. which read in part:

"The strongest point the (representatives) can make in
this report is on the inadequacy ofthe physical plant. The
facilities are completely at odds with a program in
architecture which is dedicated to the design ofa suitable
environment for human use."

Although the college did not lose its accreditation.
Eardley said it took seven months for the Board to send
through the valuable confirmation of'accreditation.

.-\pproximately six months later. a more than ZOO-page
program was published by several faculty members on
the building committee. It was approved by the council
staff of the Council on Higher Education and is now in

The location for this building is still uncertain.
However. Jack Blanton. vice president of business

Currently housed in Pense Hall and parts of Miller

Anthony Eardley. dean of architecture.
“There‘s not enough room." he said. “However. the

kind of space is more of a problem than the quantity of

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL‘S office has reinforced its
temporary opinion that alcoholic beverages can be sold in
Kentucky’s new horse park.

The permanent advice came in an opinion released
yesterday. more than a week after the World Three-Day
Event Championships at the park near Lexington.

Earlier. the Cane Run Baptist Church in Fayette County
tried unsuccessfully to obtain a temporary restraining order
and permanent injunction which would have banned the sale
of alcoholic beverages at the horse park.

At that time. the attorney general‘s office said drinking
would be legal. but indicated it would do research fora more
definite opinion.

“Our research has revealed that no statute or
administrative regulation precludes the sale or consumption
of alcoholic beverages at the park." Assistant Attorney
General Reid James said.

AT LEAST ONE STATE HARNESS racing track has
requested Sunday racing and others may follow suit. Carl
Larsen. deputy commissioner of the Kentucky Harness
Racing Commission. said here yesterday.

Larsen said the commission would study the impact of
Sunday racing. “the pros and cons. or any information we
can get on Sunday racing. whether it was good or bad."

The General Assembly. in its last session. passed a
measure to allow thoroughbred racing on Sunday. but
Larsen said such allowance previously was made for harness
and quanerhorse racing.

A LOI'ISVILLE MAN has been indicted by a federal
grand jury on charges that he tried to sell fake documents
concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy
to Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt.

James D. Diggers allegedly tried to sell fraudulent FBI
and presidential memos that purported to show a conspiracy
between the FBI and the CIA in the I963 Kennedy

Monday in US. District Court here.

Driggers was already being held in the Jefferson County
Jail on charges of theft and criminal possession of a forged
instrument.

The indictment said that Diggers tried to sell Flynt and his
publications firm the documents after he learned that Flynt
was offering SI million to anyone who could provide
evidence of a conspiracy involving the assassination.

PRESIDENT CARTER FORMALLY ended on
yesterday's 3-year-old embargo on arms shipments to
:Turkey.

Carter did so by making a formal finding that Turkey “is
acting in good faith to achieve ajust and peaceful settlement
of the Cyprus problem."

This coincided with an announcement that Carter had
signed into law the $2.8 billion foreign military aid
authorilation act that empowered him to lift the Turkish
arms embargo ifhe determined Turkey was seeking a Cyprus
solution.

Congress imposed a total embargo on arms sales to
Turkey in I975 in retaliation for that country‘s use of US,-

NEW YORK TIMES reporter Myron A. Farber won a

Books are someplace
Shelving takes patience, time

By LESLIE OMOHlINDRO
Staff Writer

Even with three-quarters of a
million books. it always seems the one
needed isn't on the shelf.

M.l. King Library serves many
purposes one purpose is to provide
the students with the books they need.
but often can‘t fi d. The circulation
department‘s job is to keep the
library‘s books available to students.
Larry Greenwood. head ofcirculation.
said it is assumed that the problem of
missing books lies within his
department.

He admitted his department. which
each year collects. sorts and reshelves
I30.000 books. is backlogged. but only
at three peak times of the year.

“At the semester's end during
May. August and December ~ almost
50 percent of our student employees
leave to follow academic pursuits. We
encounter our biggest pileup of some
60~70.000 books to reshelve at one
time during these periods."

The Circulation department has a
staff. of I4 full-time and 50 student
employees. of whom large numbers
resign at exam time. when the library is
under its heaviest use. Dennis
Dickenson. assistant director for
public services of King Library
verified the pile-up because of heavy
use of the library during finals.

“Students start term papers as early
as possible." Dickenson said.
“Needless distress can be avoided if
students would just plan ahead.

"Freshmen. in particular. should do

their research early. while plenty of
material still remains on the shelves.
Large groups of freshmen are often
handed identical topics to research.“
he said.

Bill Bull. stack supervisor. collects
and reshelves the books students leave
on the specially-marked book
collection tables and book returns
inside the library.

“My job is an endless cycle.“ Bull
said. He said the hardest part is
“keeping a level of circulation going
that is acceptable. considering the
manpower and time involved.“

Bull said he has been trying to boost
efficiency with more responsive
supervision for book returns.
pinpointing trouble areas and utilizing
student assistance.

When asked about students
reshelving their own books. Bull and
Greenwood both reacted negatively.
They agreed a book replaced
incorrectly could be totally lost.

“The biggest help would be for
students to bring the material back.
Students don‘t realize the intricacies of
our sorting and shelving system." Bull
said.

Several alternatives were suggested
by Dickenson for finding books
necessary in research. A book can be
recalled by asking a student to return it
so it may be used by another.

A solution for the more imperative
situation is Interlibrary loan. “It‘s
another way of getting books we don‘t
have. Other libraries. such as the
University of Chicago. send us the
materials we need. However. it is only
open to faculty. graduate students and
staff. and is an extremely slow and
expensive process another reason to
start research early.“ Dickenson said.

Bull said his staff is always available
to assist students in locating a book. In
fact. when a student can‘t find a book
it is often somewhere between the
book stacks and shelving room. he
said.

Rupp arena scheduling hurts

Rupp Arena concerts still plague the
UK Student Center Board Concert
Committee. One conflict has already
appeared. Styx is scheduled to

conjunction with L'K football
homecoming activities has been a
tradition in past years. Despite the

A constitutional amendment is currently before
Student Government that would increase
participation from a group that has little voice in SG

decisions.

The group is not Indians. Serbo-Croations or
even Biology majors: It's the entire freshman class.
First-year students now miss out on the spring
elections. where officers and senators are chosen.
and consequently are eliminated from having much
ofa say in SG policy making during their first year.

The amendment now being considered would
allow for two freshman senators to be elected in the
fall. in an election limited to the freshman class.

For SG, a ’yes’ and a ’maybe’
Decision to allow freshmen chance
to participate was prudent. . .

While no senators are currently elected according to
classification. there is an urgent need to provide,
representation to first—year students. (The student

senate is currently composed of senators elected

from each college. and of at-Iarge senators elected
by the entire student body.)

The freshman class comprises 22 percent of the
UK student body. it deserves having a voice in the
affairs of student government. Like many other
student organizations. SG often complains ofa lack
ofstudent interest. A move to increase participation
in a student‘s first year should help find and keep
active members in student government.

. . .But sponsoring a homecoming
dance may not be justified

The Student Senate's action to co-sponsor a
homecoming dance seems to indicate a change of

student government policy.

Other contests. such as the Musical

(Who coached the winners in the

Letters to the editor

 

 

Mr. Shah

An opinion tendered to his imperial
majesty. Mohammed Re/a l’ahlev'i.
Shah of Iran. Sire. in this season of
recurrent outbrcaks of indigestion in
the corpus of the state. we entreat your
august person bear witness to a
possible solution.

Monarchy. the most potentially
stable. most legitimate and most
powerful form of public administra-
tion demands the constant vigil of
those entrusted with its responsibil-
ities. Concurrent with those aims your
imperial majesty has ceaselessly
endeavored to augment the rate and

extent of cultural and technical
development of the livelihood. and to
promote the material well-being of
your people. These enlightened
measures arousing the suspicions and
discontent of the religious leaders
(mullahs) led to the present
unpleasantness.

Throughout history there are
examples of sovereigns donning
“sackcloth" for a time to appease
xenophobic opposition. In your role
as absolute arbiter between your
people and God. the situation now
calls for suspension of the heretofore
beneficial measures for perhaps l0 to
20 years. Meanwhile continue to
educate both males and females ofall
classes in the universal‘faults of
leftism. By raisinga generation oftruly
thinking and responsible citizens
through careful tutelage. the public
will welcome and enhance the progress
sought in your envisioned domestic
policies. At present the only real
controversy is the religious one. So
long as that is settled man. your
people should return to peaceful

order. We pray that you issue the
necessary directives toward that effect
immediately. as multiple university
and worldwide newspapers are
concerning increasing space to the
tripe surrounding issues and agitators.

In your mercy. as supreme font of
justice. seriously consider exiling those
woebegone few who work not for the
glory of their homeland and the
amelioration of their people. but while
attending schools abroad. through
(democratically veiled) leftist
propaganda. engineer its demise.
These (Ior/narren have no place in
your future enlightened society.
Instead they are as rebellious brats
going to a neighboring households'
parent and attempting to induce this
proxy to destroy their natural father
because he does not spoil them with
the gift of responsibilities which are
beyond their present caliber.

Let them beg and scrape. like the
“mob rule“ they represent for refugee
status (in their confusion) among the
nations they wish so much to emulate!

This situation is potentially chaotic.
because the rabble being used by these
leftist agitators have not even the
rudiments ofdiscipline. Breakdown of
legitimate government. especially as
occurred in the realm of your imperial
brother. the Lion of Judah (or recent
and most honorable memory). would
be most devastating to the livelihood
of your people. It is our hope then. that
these details are resolved “sine mora“
thus allowing the various news media
to shift coverage to more worthy
situations.

Forever in the service of legitimacy.
que la Force restera aver l'ous.
