0 WASHINGTON

an independent student newspaper

UK basketball coach Joe B. Hall has
taken exception to an Athletic Department
financial report, which appeared in the
Jan. 23 Louisville Courier-Journal, that
shows the basketball program suffered a
$40,000 decline in income in Fiscal Year
1973(FY 73).

The figures show basketball accounted
for $418,197 in revenue in FY 73, compared
to $458,696 in FY 72.

“I do not feel that the basketball
program is properly and factually
represented by these figures," Hall said.
“The figures reported are only part of
basketball’s contribution to the Athletic
Department. They (the Courier-Journal)
are not aware of our accounting
procedures."

The (‘ourier-Journal story, written by
sports editor Dave Kindred, said “(UK
Athletic Director Harry) Lancaster was at
loss to explain the decline from (former
UK coach Adolph) Rupp‘s last season to
the first year of his successor, Hall. ‘One
year shouldn’t make $40,000 difference.‘
Lancaster said. ‘I just can‘t explain it.‘ “

HALL. HOWEVER, quoted figures
which would account for the reported
deficit, and also questioned the accuracy
of the entire revenue figure credited to
basketball.

Hall noted in the 1971-72 season (Rupp‘s
last), the UK freshman team played three
games on days which the varsity didn't
play. These three gameswagainst Furman
at Frankfort on Dec. 3, against Tennessee
at Memorial Coliseum on Jan. 22 and
against Florida at the Coliseum on Feb.
18~netted, according to Hall, $32,707 (see
chart number 1).

Questions revenue figures

There was no such independent
scheduling of freshman games in 1972-73
and. hence, no additional income.

HALL ALSO NOTED a change in policy
regarding sale of stucbnt tickets from 1971-
72 to 1972-73. In lWl-72, student tickets
were resold when athletics officials
estimated students would not use the full
alotment availabk.

In 1972—73, though, student tickets were
not sold to the public until it was deter-
mined shortly before game time all
student tickets wouki not be used.

The exception was during the semester
break, when many student tickets were
expected to go unused. Hall suggested that
some of the deficit may be accounted for
through this procedural change.

Hall stated the Courier-JournaI-reported
total of $418,197 for basketball revenue
didn’t include all applicable items (see

University of Kentucky
Lexington, KY. 40506

HARRY LANCASTER
‘I just can‘t explain it'
MISSING FROM THAT total, Hall said,

was $103,000 profit made from the annual
UK Invitational Tournament, and ap-
proximately 320,000 earned when Ken-
tucky participted in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association tour-
nament last March.

Also excluded, Hall said, was $66,500
paid to UK for exclusive radio and
television broadcast rights.

“Since when,” Hall said, “is UKIT,
NCAA and television and radio income not
considered to be basketball income."

HALL ADDED that further income from
program sales, concessions, parking and
sale of basketball facts books should have
been credited to basketball revenue; He
estimates basketball should be credited
for revenue in excess of $007,000, almost
$200,000 more than shown in the Courier-
Journal article.

Needs explanation

“I just can’t explain it.”

That’s what UK Athletic Director Harry C. Lan-
caster told Louisville Courier-Journal sports editor

Dave Kindred when asked to explain an

apparent

$40,000 loss of basketball revenue in fiscal year 1973

from FY 1972.

The Courie r-Journal reported basketball revenue at

$418,197 for 1973, a drop of $40,499

of $458,696.

from the 1972 total

UK basketball coach Joe Hall, however, seems able

to explain the loss.

In 1971-72, Hall was coach of UK’s talented fresh—

man team, a group which won

all 22 of its games.

Three of those games were played independent of the

UK varsity.

Those three games were worth $32,707 to

the UK Athletics Association. There was no such

program of
and, hence, a

independence for the 1972-73 freshmen
healthy loss of profits from 71-72.

It is also probable that a change in ticket policy,
plus other incidental expenses, would account for the
remaining portion of the deficit.

But why didn’t Lancaster, the Athletic Director
whose job it is to know such things, have an answer to

Kindred’s question? And why
such an answer from a man in
Another sore spot, according to

did Kindred accept
Lancaster’s position?
Hall, is the failure

of the Athletic Department to report all basketball
revenue. Hall’s figures show that UKIT and NCAA

games, radio-TV broadca
cessions, parking, sales of

st rights, as well as con-
programs and facts books

should also be credited to his sport.

Why weren’t these credits shown on basketball’s
side of the ledger? Are they lumped into the “others”
category of over $617,000, as shown in the Courier-

Journal?

If the Athletic Department is

WASHINGTON —- Les Aspin,
the young Wisconsin Democrat
who is proving there is useful
work for a member of Congress if
he wants to do it, has learned that
contracts for Air America, the
CIA’s transparently phony
airline, have doubled to more
than $41 million. It is assumed by
those who study the outfit’s
murky doings the money will be
spent encouraging our mer-
cenaries to muck around Laos

anew.
Our government disguises

what we are shipping into Laos,
Cambodia, and South Vietnam
with the same care the Russians
use in hiding their military ex—
penditures, so only a spy or a
detective can hope to know the
truth. Not only do we appropriate
munitions under such categories
as Food for Peace, but since the
Pentagon places the dollar value
on our war shipments, they can
conceal enormous amounts by

 

  

assessing tanks at a dollar apiece
and airplanes at $5 a throw. The
Pentagon has told Aspin that the
inventory of what we're sending
is classified, and thererore not
available to the unstable,
national security risks whom the
voters send to Congress.
NEVERTHELESS. BY THE
end of Fiscal Year '74, next July,
that is, our military costs in that
part of the world will be running
at above four billion dollars a
year. This necessarily means
violating the Paris Cease-fire
Agreements which confine us to
resupplying depleted stocks. We
are also breaking our word by
introducing a new combat plane,
gloriously and honorably named
Tiger 11 Freedom Fighters.

Letters to the Kernel

Panty raid measures misunderstood

Concerning the December 13th
letter by Karen Hoskins on panty
raids, I‘m afraid there are a few
misunderstandings as to the role
of the corridor advisor. We’re not
promoting panty raids but we are
not naive enough to think they are
never going to happen.

First of all. our primary ob-
jective in being there during a
panty raid is to protect the
participants, male and female,
and the building by keeping the
men off the walls and stairwells.
Second, the corridor advisers
didn‘t go over to Donovan Hall
with the purpose of reporting the
participating females. According
to Ms. Hoskins the corridor ad—
visers “get a perverted thrill
from handing in lists of windows
that contributed articles to the
raid." Only one room was
reported for throwing eggs and
other projectiles and that was
turned in to insure the safety of
the particrpants. Third, it is clear
to us that it would be a mistake to
attempt to force removal of the

production occurred as a result of
the March 26, 1973, Secretary of
Defense guidance which tasked
(cq) the Air Force to protect a
Southeast Asia contingency
capability that we had not
previously planned.“

In short. it appears we are
returning to our old winning
formula of guns and military
advisers, of which is now
believed we have 20,000 sneaking
about those dear, old familiar
palms. Thus, instead of using our
decisive leverage to make him
abide by it, we are apparently
egging Thieu on to forget the
Paris Agreements which were
supposed to be our ticket out of
that bog.

Some moderates or liberals or
whatever you want to call the
wishy-washies in Congress seem
to be content to vote the money
for the destruction of the Paris
Agreements in return for keeping
our people out of the fighting and

men since it would be not only
impossible but contrary to the
concepts of crowd control.

Although not affecting us, we
feel we should at least justify the
actions of the UK police force.
The purpose of spotlighting the
windows in Donovan Hall was to

because you don‘t want the Reds
to take over, do you? Of course,
the Reds are going to take over
anyway, only itwill be longer and
more costly. They‘ve got most of
Cambodia now and they‘re going
to get the rest of soon enough.
Ultimately, they‘ll get General
Thieu also because we know that
a corrupt, inflation-wracked,
debilitated South Vietnam can‘t
win without our armed in-
tervention. We already have our
Secretary of Defense getting us
acclimated to the thought again,
and there is the memory of Dr.
Kissinger saying, “I wanted to
bomb the daylights out of Hanoi,
but Congress wouldn’t let me." It
looks as if the boys regarded the
Paris Agreements as a truce to
buy time to get the peaceniks off
their backs.

THE JUSTIFICATION for
what we‘re doing is that the
North Vietnamese are doing the

terminate the parity raid as
easily as possible. By
spotlighting the building this
forced the women out of the
windows which in turn caused the
males to disperse.

The true ‘Energy Crisis': t profit shortage?

By RUSSELL PELLE

The so-called “Energy Crisis”
is on everyone’s mind these days.
We‘re being hit hard by the rising
prices of supposedly scarce
petroleum products. But let’s
take a closer look at the situation.

Under the capitalist system,
where the factories and
resources are privately owned by
corporate interests, production is
for profit, not use. That is,
capitalists don’t ask themselves
what the society needs; they ask
what will turn a profit. And this
means that the interests of the
corporate monopolies and the
People don’t necessarily coin-
cide. The shortage causing the
“Energy Crisis" is not a shortage
of oil at all—it's a “shortage” of
profits. Or, more accurately, the
prospect of making even higher

profits in the most profitable and
powerful industry in the world.

WHY DO TltEoil trusts want to
perpetrate this fraud?

First, they want to drive up
prices and thus increase profits.
In the third quarter of 1973, oil
profits were up 63 per cent. from
the year before. And the oil
barons are still not satisfied.

Second, they want to drive
independent refineries and
retailers out of business. Over
2,000 indepentent station

operators have been forced out
over the last few months. More
will follow. The oil trusts control
86 per cent of the market. They
want 100 per cent.

THIRD, THEY WANT no
further delay in the construction
of the Alaska pipeline. Forget
about environmental protection,
private profit comes first.

Fourth, they want to wipe out
all existing anti-pollution laws.
Substantial sections of the 1970
Clean Air Act will now be violated
with Congressional a pproval. The
oil barons will not have to spend
billions of dollars on anti-
pollution devices any more-

they‘ll be able to pollute the
land,air, and water all they want.
Fifth, the oil trusts want to
increase oil consumption. That
may sound contradictory until
you find out that these companies
have bought up 30 per cent of the
coal reserves, including high
sulfur (highly pollutant) coal.
SIXTH, THE companies want
to whip up anti-Arab racism by
blaming the Arab oil cut-off for
our difficulties. This would help
pave the way, propagan-
distically, for U .S. intervention in
the Mideast. U.S. trusts, in a
classical example of im-

perialism, own 75 per cent of
Arab oil.

Well, where can America’s
workers, her students, her far-
mers, her consumers turn?
Where can we find a way out?
Congress? Some Congressmen
will make a lot of noise in hopes of
hustling vote, and then go right
out and make backroom deals
with the oil barons to cheat the
American people and the people
of the world. The oil monopolies
have financed enough

Congressional campaigns to

 

 

 
  
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 

assure that Congress will
represent oil, not the people. In
any society any place in history,
the economically dominant class
is also the politically dominant.
America is no exception.

What is needed is an in-
dependent movement to conduct
the fight against the handful of
super-rich men who are prepared
to squander the world’s resources

in their ruthless drive for profits. -

THIS MOVEMENT should
demand that wages and fringe
benefits rise automatically with
the cost of living so working
people won’t have to bear the
burden of the profit drive of big
business; that there must be no
layoff due to the contrived
shortage; that the work week be

lowered to 30 hours with no cut in
pay (a measure that would have
the effect of spreading the
available work to all who need
jobs); that the businesses open
their books to the public and
prove that there really is a
shortage (the evidence that there
is just as much oil as ever is
overwhelming).

I beleive that such a movement

is both necessary and inevitable
in this country in the coming

months and years. I also think

that the inherent drive of such a
movement will lead to the for-
mation of an American labor
party, based on the unions, which
will lead a fight to break the
economic and political power of
the robber barons of the business
world once and for all, and to put

that power into the hands of
America’s working people. Only
then can our society begin to
meet human needs, as opposed to
the needs of the capitalists for
bigger and bigger profits.

The technological, industrial,
and agricultural basis exists for a
society that would provide a
decent life for everybody. But, I
believe, this will never come
about until the current economic
system,run in the interests of big
business, which produces crises,

poverty, and war in the name of
profit, is uprOoted.

A call for an end of some ‘rather plain reading'

CWC elects chairperson

By SUSAN JONES
Kernel Staff Writer

Gail Cohee, newly elected chairperson of the
Council on Women‘s Concerns (CWC), hopes to
revitalize the virtually defunct group through
involvement of new, younger women.

Susan Tomasky and Nancy Tomes, former
CWC chairpersons, resigned Jan. 17 and Cohee
was elected to head the 1974 Council.

“GAIL IS the perfect person to take over the
Council," said Tomes. “She’ll help bring
younger women into the Council and will bridge
a gap because most of those who have been
active are graduating."

“The Council was secondary to Nancy and
Susan,“ said Cohee. “because they were both
seniors and were trying to get into graduate
school and law school."

Cohee, a sophomore majoring in English and
Women‘s Studies, claims an extensive feminist
library. Doris Lessing, Sylvia Plath, Simone de
Beauvoir and other female authors‘ works
overflow her apartment bookshelves.

“GAIL HAS been quite active in the Council
since she first came to UK. Nancy and I are
pleased with the prospect of Gail taking over the
Council while we are still here and available to
advise her‘ ‘said Tomasky.

Cohee feels the purpose of the CWC is to
enhance the position of women on campus and to
help women find out how much potential they
possess. ”‘It 5 important to have a personable
kind of image so women will feel welcome,‘ said
Cohee.

Planned projects include an information desk
at the Student Center, a newsletter, Women’s
Health Week, 3 speakers‘ bureau and aiding the
establishment of consciousness-raising groups.

BESIDES CAMPUS women‘s issues Cohee
strongly supports reform of abortion laws and
the Equal Rights Amendment

‘I can ‘t understand the Right- -to Lifers,’ said
Cohee of current activity in the Kentucky state
legislature. “If we go by the Supreme Court
ruling (on abortion) it‘s still comes down to
personal need—a woman‘s right to have an
abortion out of need or choice. If these people are
morally opposed to abortions they don‘ t have to
have them."

Cohee expressed concern over birth control
pills which are not universally effective or safe.
She deplores the lack of research given to the
possibility of a male pill. Quoting Florynce

Kennedy she quipped, “If men could get
pregnant, abortion would be a sacramemt."- i

IN THE midst of the interview, news of the
Montana ratification of the Equal Rights
Amendment was announced over the radio. “Six
more states!" Cohee exclaimed. She predicted
the amendment would receive approval within
the year.

Cohee is also active in the Kentucky Women‘s
Political Caucus. “It makes me so mad that men
who compose 49 per cent of the pulation think
they have the right to make laws or 51 per cent
who have hardly any voice in the decision
making,“ she said.

Sexism is a result of traditional socialization,
according to Cohee. She speaks of the Women’s
Movement as a vehicle to break down norms
which oppress women.

“I AM active because I am a woman," said
Cohee. “I don‘t see how I could help getting into
the Movement.”

UK receives $34,000 grant

By DEBBIE BLACK
Kernel Staff Writer

UK will receive a $34,900 grant
to award deserving graduate
students in the science fields.

The annual non—service grant is
given by the National Science
Foundation in Washington under
the Institutional Grants for
Science Program.

The amount UK receives varies
yearly and is based on a per—
centage of the total amount of
federal funds the foundation
allots for fellowship grants.

STUDENTS WISHING to
obtain the grant must send ap-
plications to room 329. Patterson
Office Tower before Feb. 1. The
applications include the student's
GPA from his graduate and
undergraduate studies, letters of
recommendation and other
records.

Fellowship Panels then review
the data and select the winners
completely by merit.

The purpose of the institutional
grants is to help graduates as
they work in doctoral programs.
With the grants‘ aid the student is

able to devote his time to his
academic studies rather than
teaching or part-time work.

“This is why a fairly good
academic record is required,"
said Alfred D. Winer, associate
dean of graduates.

THE NUMBER of grants given
each year varies with the amount
of money. This year 15 awards
will be given, Winer said.

56 Opposes

Student Government began to
take action against the proposed
meal plan Monday and Tuesday
nights at ad3hoc meetings bet-
ween SG officials and dorm
presidents.

The meetings were held at the
Complex Commons, Haggin Hall
and Holmes Hall. SG officials
presented their plan of action to
dorm representatives and
enlisted their support.

One award was granted in
physiology, computer science,
engineering mechanics, nuclear
engineering, pharmacy and
business administration.

Three awards were given in the
statistics area, and two each in
biology, anthropology and civil
engineering.

“The grants given this year
will be used in the fall semester.”
Winter said.

meal plan

STUDENTS ARE being asked
to write to members of the Board
of Trustees and newspapers to
express their opinions about the
new plan.

The proposal will be decided
upon at an executive meeting of
the Board of Trustees Jan. 29—
and SC is requesting students to
attend to show concern.

“SC is committing its
resources to see that the proposal
is defeated,“ said Dave Mucci,
SG administrative assistant.

munities, the workshop will deal

decisions socially, economically
and environmentally, said
William Kenkel, workshop
chairman.

THE WORKSHOP will be
divided into three sections—the
impact of Land-Use Planning on:
people, environment and

tatives.

Beginning at 9 a.m., the

effect of these laws on future
