Reporter discusses Soviet ’rights,’
reveals hypocrisy of government

By CLAUDE HAMMOND
Kernel Reporter

“It would be immoral for a nation
to ignore a terrible crime, such as
genocide, in another country,” Los
Angeles Times reporter Robert Toth
said Thursday at Transylvania Uni-
versity. Toth, who was interrogated
and then deported by the Soviet
Union in July for alleged spy

activities, spoke on “whether the
state should act as a moral agent in
human rights."

His lecture was sponsored by
Transylvania and UK's Patterson
School of Diplomacy as part of a
day-long study of human rights.

Toth said he believes that human
rights should be an issue in interna-
tional diplomacy. "Morals differ,

but there are fundamental rights
that should be observed by every
nation,” he said. “The violations of
these fundamental rights are geno
cide, mass terrorism forced starva-
tion the government handling of
church or religious affairs and the
persecution of believers."

Russia to those in the United States,

OUTGOING LOUISVILLE MAYOR Harvey Sloane says
heis preparing to run for statewide office in 1979 but is not
ready to say which office.

Sloane has said before that he is “looking very
strongly” at either the governor s or lieutenant govern-
ors office and will make a definite announcement next
year.

“I‘m not prepared to elaborate at this point,"
Saturday.

Sloane said he is preparing for a statewide race but has
not yet set up a campaign organization or begun
fund-raising efforts.

KENTUCKY LAWYERS SHOULD be allowed to
advertise in newspapers but not on television or radio,
says the Kentucky Bar Association board of governors.

Leslie Whitmer, KBA director said the guidelines
adopted Saturday will soon be submitted to the Kentucky
Sipreme Court which must approve them if they are to
take effect.

The U. S Supreme Court ruled In June that lawyers have
tin right to advertise their fees for routine services. The
KBA board’s guidelines would limit the advertising to
newspaper classified sections, telephone books legal
directories and law lists

The guidelines would require ads to be “in good taste"
and not to exceed 18 square inches.

VOTERS IN NEW YORK CITY S Democratic mayoral
primary runoff choose today between Mario Cuomo,
backed by Gov Hugh Carey as the man to restore the
city 3 fiscal credibility and Edward I. Koch, a liberal
cmgressman with conservative positions on finances and
crime.

The winner of the runoff becomes the favored
candidate to succeed Mayor Abraham Beame, who was
kmclted out of the race when he finished third in the
seven-way Democratic primary on Sept. 8.

Koch, 52, a lawyer and former city councilman, says his

experience in Congress since 1969 qualified him as the
bestcandidate.

Cuomo, 44, a lawyer who defused a volatile black-white
confrontation when the city wanted to put a low-income
housing project in the middleclass Forest Hills section of
Queens. says he is “a conciliator and a mediator" and can
bring the diverse groups of the city together.

SEN. GEORGE .VlcfithERN SAYS the Unltcd States
should seek talks with North Korea on ending military
tensions between that communist nation and South Korea.

McGovern, a South Dakota Democrat. said the Carter
administration should take the initiative because the
South Koreans have refused to negotiate with the North
Koreans.

“I believe that this initiative would offer a real incentive
to both North and South Korea to enter into serious
discussions on Inilitary issues and would produce the first
movement toward a peace settlement since the end of the
Korean War," McGovern said.

Toth said, “The Russians define
‘rights' as the right to work, the
right to a free education and rights
based on the need of the masses,
instead of the individual."

Human rights should stress the
needs of the individual, or persecu-
tion results, he said.

“When I was being interrogated
after my arrest in the Soviet Union, I
was told that I had no right to be
silent, but I had the right to have the
interrogation tape recorded, though
I had no right to the tape. The
‘rights’ that I was given were not
rights at all," Toth said.

The concentration on the masses
have made the Russian citizen more
of a “worker ant" than anything
else, he said. “The concept of a self-
supporting individual is considered
ridiculous in the Soviet Union. "

Toth then mentioned the treat-
ment of Soviet Jews and other
religious groups. “Russia tries to
erase all ethnic identities,” he said,
giving the Russian Pentacostals as
an example.

“They believe in carrying no
arms," Toth said. “When a young
man of that faith is inducted into the
army, he is usually assigned to a
battle force instead of a non-arms
carrying work force, clearly in vio-
lation of his individual rights."

Toth said he also thinks that in
some cases the United States’
demands for human rights did more
harm than good.

“A few years ago, the number of
Soviet Jews emigrating from Russia
was about 35,000 a year," he said.
“Since pressure from American
groups has been growing, the num-
bers of emigrating Jews have been
decreasing. Last year only about
12,000 Jews left the Soviet Union."

Toth said that President Carter’s
statement on human right had “bad
timing” and that the president
should consult others with more
diplomatic know-how if he plans to
issue any more statements on
human rights.

However, when asked how the
United States should react to viola-
tions of human rights in other
countries, Toth said, “The United
States should continue to protest
violations of human rights in East

Europe."

Across the street from the South
Limestone entrance to UK is a
low-income area called Pralltown.
The community resembles any inner
city development, with rundown
yards and ramshackle houses.

But behind its quiet appearance is
a multitude of interactions and red
tape.

In the late ‘508 and early ‘605, the
University bought 23 Pralltown lots
for eventual expansion of the UK
campus. As each lot was bought, the
existing buildings were torn down
and the lots left vacant.

David Holt, director of UK Infor-
mation Services, said that last May,
the Board of Trustees decided not to
expand in that direction, choosing
instead to develop behind Memorial
Coliseum.

“The Board authorized (Business
Affairs Vice President Jack) Blan-
ton to transfer the 23 lots to the state
of Kentucky," Holt said.

“The four lanes of traffic on South
Limestone would make for a bad
situation if half the campus was on
one side, and half on the other,"
Blanton said. He pointed out the
problems with Rose Street dividing
the southside dorms from central
campus.

Blanton said, “The Board mem-
bers made a commitment to the
Pralltown residents that the Univer—
sity would never dispose of the
property except in a manner to their
satisfaction."

After the transfer. the state then
conveyed the lots to the state
Housing Corporation for sale to
persons who will develip the land in
the best interest of the community,
Holt said.

The University will be reimbursed
whenever any of the lots are sold.
Although the University has about
$100,000 invested in the properties,
Blanton said, “We will be lucky if we
get half of that back."

Any official ties the University has
with the neighborhood will be broken

when the lots are sold. But chances
are, Pralltown residents will still
harbor animosity toward UK.

Many houses in Pralltown are
without driveways or garages, so
residents park on the street. The
limited University parking areas
have caused students to park on the
neighborhood streets, and residents
now have very negative feelings
toward the University and the
students.

Around 8 a. m ,students arrive and
fill available empty spaces, leaving
the residents with no place for their
cars except In no parking zones. The
current construction on Montmullin
Street has worsened the situation.

Hugh clay boulders and mudpiles
obstruct driveways and yards, for-
cing residents on this street to find a
place for their cars. Resident Aline
Brown, of 123 Montmullin St., said
construction began three weeks ago,
and she was told at that time the
work would take only three days.

She said she had no place to park
her car except on the street corner
because her driveway was com-
pletely blocked with dirt. “I got a
ticket and took it down to the police
station. He (the policeman) tore the
ticket up and said the construction
men should have left room for us to
get the car in our yard," she said.

Kerry Davis, Central Records
supervisor for the Metro Police
Department, said, “Parking viola-
tions on Prall, Montmullin and
Colfax streets were heavy,“ but he
had no records on the numbers of
cars towed from the area.

llarley Clemons. owner of OK
Service Garage, Inc., 565 W. Main
St., said he uses his wreckers to tow
cars for the police and he keeps a
daily call sheet on towed cars. “We
have towed several from Prall, but
not as many as last spring," he said.

His towing fee is $12, and he works
24 hours a day. Clemons said, “The
police react to phone calls complain-
ing of a blocked driveway or street,
and then check the area again for a

week or so."

Affirmative action

It’s often a euphemism
for reverse discrimination

A recent and little—heralded U. S. Supreme
Court decree in effect legitimizes what is
commonly termed “reverse discrimination."

Citing the deside to “pursue affirmative action
irograms at this time," the Court refused to
hear the case of a white man denied admission to
a California medical school, even though the
man's qualifications were as good as lOI' better
than ‘i some of those accepted over him.

The case was first tried in the California
Supreme t‘ourt. which agreed that the medical
school had discriminated against the plaintiff on
the basis of race. It was also found that 16 of the
1(1) spots in the entering class were set aside for
"disadvantaged" students. in an attempt to
produce more doctors of ("tiicano, black. Asian
and American Indian background.

Such programs are referred to with the
euphemism “affirmative action." Spawned by
the Civil Rights Act of lilo-t. the principle behind
affirmative action is to eliminate discrimination
in policies of hiring or of admissions to
tmiversities or graduate schools. As practiced.
however. affirmative action programs encom-
pass a variety of preferential treatments toward
discriminated groups, including women.

Affirmative action is supported by the federal
government through threat of economic sanc-
tion. A university or graduate school which
chesn't admit a specified number of the
minorities will have all federal assistance cut
off. But this is so drastic a penalty that it has
never been imposed. Moreover. most govern-
rmnt funds are used for scientific research,
which has little, if any. relation to admissions
policies. The punishment doesn‘t fit the crime
and becomes irrelevant

Proponents of preferential admissions policies
claim that in order to compensate for centuries
of racial and sexual discrimination. it‘s neces-

sary to stack the odds in favor of the
disadvantaged groups. Gloster B. Current, an
executive of the NAACP, has demanded that
such policies be enforced, even at the expense of
non-minorities. This doesn‘t eliminate discrim—
ination. It merely shifts the focus of the injustice
to the majority.

The idea that society will benefit from
preferential admissions is also fallacious. There
is no evidence to suggest that members of
disadvantaged groups will find a new reserve of
influence on society as a result of higher
education. In fact, affirmative action could
damage the very people it purports to help. As
standards are relaxed for the disadvantaged, the
less competent will prove their inadequacy,
adding to the myth that one race or sex is
superior to another.

What is most disturbing, however. is that
affirmative action programs have no basis in
legislation. The Department of Justice, concur-
ring with the managers of the Civil Rights Act,
aibmitted a memorandum stating: “There is no
irovision. either in Title VII or in any other part
of this bill, that requires or authorizes any
federal agency or federal court to require
p‘eferential treatment for any individual group
for the purpose of achieving racial balance.”

That sounds clearcut, but the bureaucracy and
the courts have chosen to use the act to justify
preferential treatment.

In short. if discrimination against minorities is
imjust, it’s no more equitable to discriminate
against the majority. Admissions should be
based on objective criteria. paying no heed to the
race or sex of the applicant. Under the current
system, discrimination exists to hinder all of
society. Racial tension will not disappear until
we learn to disregard a person‘s background and
look more closely at his abilities.

 

'Distasteful'
dog cartoon

I would like to comment on the
distasteful cartoon that appeared in
the Kernel on September 9.1977
refering to Melanie Flynn‘s dog It
seems that there is always someone
who likes to make an unfortunate
circumstance more so by being
insensitive to others feelings. Maybe
Mr li‘ugate enjoys being insensitive

but I am concerned about Miss
Flynn‘s family and those who care
and are praying for her return to
those who love her.

Did you ever think. Mr. Fugate,
what the parents feel when they see
garbage such as this?

I do not necessarily want this to
appear in your paper because I
probably will never read it again
anyway. just wanted to express
myself to you.

_ His environment
————Letterto the editOP———— made him do it

WASHINGTON—When the lights
go off and blacks in Brooklyn snatch
cameras and TVs out of storage, the
sociological defense is profit on their
behalf. It is never used in cases like
Bert Lance‘s. No extenuating cir-
cumstances for jovial basso pro-
fundo Bert. With him it‘s a question
of did he do right or did he do wrong,
and, if he did wrong, hang the sob.
out to dry and don‘t tell us it was his
environment which made him do it.

There's a certain fairness in that.
If you have a little money laid away
you can afford morals, and if have a
little more money socked in the
bark—not one of Bert’s—you’re rich
enough to have developed a full-
blown set of ethnics. It serves justice
to set a higher and more rigid
standard for rich folks than for poor
people, but making Bert Lance the
centerpiece of a moral autoda-fe
also draws out minds away from
lines of disturbing thought about
ourselves.

Black kids grow up in the ghetto
watching television whereon is dis-
played the gadgets and convenient
luxuries of white middle classdom,
and it is that, according to ministers
of religion and probation officers,
that inclines them to loot when the
occasion offers. In much the same
way middleclass kids are sensitized
to the idea of being rich. Some time
during late adolescence most of
them subside and realize they’re not
going to get rich just as most people
growing up in the ghetto accommo-
date themselves to the actualities
there. Still, there are a few looters
and a few Bert Lances who keep on
trying.

.....

It is easier to work your way out of
the ghetto, however, than it is to get
rich. It is impossible to get rich by
working from nine to five and saving
your money. If you work 16 hours a
day instead of eight, and you are
very, very useful and moderately
lucky, you can get reasonably rich
without ever doing anything you
would be ashamed to have them tell
about on television. Mostly, though
to get rich is to discover what’s
illegal and what’s merely unethical
and arbitrate the difference.

The conventional way to get rich
in this era—and basso Bert is a con-
ventional man—is to get a hold of
other people’s money, i.e., credit.
and use it. A poor barefoot Snopes
like Lance didn‘t have any of his own
starting out, so he made us of others
via advantageous borrowings that
most of us can’t get close to. Those
huge overdrafts are simply interest-
free loans, but you’re not going to
get rich if you have to pay the 15 or
20 percent interest Sears, Roebuck
charges its time customers for their
installment loans.

If Lance took anybody in these
transactions, he took the stock-
holders of the various banks he
worked for or borrowed from. If
there is any class of characters who
can look after themselves it's the
people who buy bank stocks. Believe
you me, they don’t include that
widowed grandmother whom Wall
Street would have us think owns
most of the securities in America.
And remember this fuss is going on
just when the Securities and Ex-
change Commission issued a report
reminding us that some of the
biggest and most ethical banks
colluded with Mayor Abe Beame in
an apparently legal multi-billion
dollar New York City bond swindle
in which a number of real widowed
grandmother ladies did get their

bustles caught in the wringers of
big-time finance.

Compared to that, even if Lance
did everything naughty they accuse
him of, his nickel and dime snitching
ought to invoke sympathy. And look
what he spent it on, that marvel-
ously garish, real estate specula-
tor‘s version of a Southern mansion.
Basso Bert is a conspicuous con-
sumer we can identify with. He loves
his gold and he knows what to do
with it. So different from Senator
Heinz, the LVII, the pickle heir from
Pennsylvania, who has bought him-
self a political career and has been
disapproving of Bert before the TV
cameras. What does he know about
the acquisitive rage in a poor boy‘s
ambitions?

This is a society in which the kids
who fight their way to the top cheat
their mothers out of the change from
grocery store errands. If Bert
clipped the boss, don't a lot of
people? Let no journalist who has
ever picked up a little loose change
on his expense account wax right-
eous about our deep-voiced Bert. Not
all of us, but millions of us do steal,
as our station in life gives us the
opportunity. For the ghetto looter
it's the hand through the broken
plate glass window, for the bar-
tender it’s not remembering to ring
up every last drink, for the govern—
ment worker it‘s stealing time and
typewriters from the taxpayers, and
for the acquisitors at the apex it's
joyriding in the company j-tts and
those nice no-low interest loans.

The satisfying thing about the Bert
Lance episode is it happened to
Jiminy Peanuts. That’ll teach him
to go around acting like he's so
all-fired better than the rest of us.

UK severs ties
with Pralltown

Continued from page I

8111 Buntin, Housing Ser-
vices director for urban coun-
ty government, said, “There
are a number of programs
presently in progress in Prall-
town, such as the paving of
streets, installing new curbs,
sidewalks, street lights for
corners and work on a park in
the area."

Private contractors bid for
the jobs, and are currently
working on the streets and
sidewalks.

Funds for renovation are
supplied from the Community
Development Block Grant
Program (BGP). Community
Development Planner Ken
Kerns said the money comes
from the federal government
indirectly and provides funds
for a number of activities,
“mostly the construction or
brick and mortar type pro-
gram."

This BGP replaced categor-
ical grants and now provides
money for many areas in—
stead of one specific pro-
gram.

A recent study of research
articles written for 57 leading
professional journals ranked
the University of Kentucky

housing rehabilitation loans
and grants.

“There is a difference be—
tween a loan and a grant,”
Kerns explained. “Loans with
a low interest rate (3 to 6 per
cent) are provided to bring
houses up to code. Grants are
provided to people who have
no means to pay back any
type of loan, but grants are
limited,” he said.

Rehabilitation needs are
based on citizen suggestions
and surveys done by the
Housing Services.

The survey determines if
housing is worth rehabilita-
tion costs. Kerns said, “Some
areas aren’t suitable for re-
habilitation because you
would put more money into
the houses than they were
worth."

Routine maintenance re-
pairs are done in Pralltown,
and most houses need only a
few repairs to bring them up
to meet housing codes. “Elec-
trical wiring or plumbing
repairs may be all the house
needs to meet the code,"
Kerns said.

According to BGP guide-
lines. Kerns said, “We can

parking spaces, forcing them to park in no-parking zones. Road construction projects
add to the problem.

lease or donation, but we
aren't allowed to build new
housing under the program."

For this reason, the land on
Prall and Winnie streets was
sold to a private land develop-
er, The South Creek Compa-
ny, which built one-to-four
bedroom townhouse units.

Dee Riggs, vice president
of Central State Managers,
Inc, in Versailles, is connec-
ted with the developers build-
ing the complex. She said her
company will manage the
units, and that the one bed-
room units will go to the
elderly.

“The units are near com-
pletion, and we already have
100 to 150 completed applica-
tions for housing,” Riggs
said. “There are only 46
units."

Each application is
checked to verify statements
and eligibility for placement
in the housing complex. Top
priority for occupancy goes to
former or current Pralltown
residents, and people dis-
placed by the government.

Although Buntin said he
thought there might be three
units available for student
families, Riggs said she
doesn‘t see much hope for UK

students renting units be
cause “they are the bottom
priority.“

At meetings of the Prall-
town Neighborhood Associa~
tion, residents have ex-
pressed negative feelings to»

aid, “This is their area and
they want their people placed

Both Riggs and Buntin
spoke about the general feel-

and included more than 2,700
articles written by members
of political science depart-
ments in the US. which grant
PhD. and master’s degrees.
The sample of. 57 social
science journals used in the
study were viewed by profes-
sional political scientists as
the profession’s “quality”
publications, Baer said.

In a survey conducted
among deans and top admin-
istrators in 1970 by the Ameri-
can Council on Education
(ACE), the UK political sci—
ence department was listed
among the top programs in
the country. In a 1973 study

similar to the current Karnig- '

Vengroff survey, the Ken-
tucky school ranked second
only to the University of
Wisconsin, Baer said.

“The 1973 review was not as
extensive and scientific as
this Karnig-Vengroff study,”
Baer said. “That is why we

Baer says all 21 faculty
members of the UK depart-
ment have the rank of assist-
ant professor or above, and
“with a couple of excep-
tions, " all are publishing
regularly.

Articles by the UK staff
range from budgeting, legis-
lation and political parties, to
international relations and
international politics. Facul-
ty research also results in the

publication of a number of
books.

Three of the country’s top
journals, “American Politi-
cal Science Review,” publish-
ed by the American Political
Science Association, the
“American Journal of Politi-
cal Science," published by
the Mid-West Association of
Political Scientists, and
“Journal of Politics," pub-
lished by the Southern Associ-
ation of Political Scientists,
regularly feature articles by
UK faculty members.

The “American Journal of

Political Science." was edited
on the UK campus until 1969
by Malcolm Jewell. who con-
tinues to be a regular contri-
butor to the country‘s top
publications.

Haer said that in the seven
years following 1968, UK
graduate students published
35 articles in leading profes-
sional journals and delivered
as papers at professional
conferences, “unusual in the
discipline." The articles by
graduate students, however,
were not considered in the
survey, Baer said.
