By LINDA (‘ARNES
Kernel Staff Writer

Two leading contenders in this fall‘s
Kentucky US. Senate race expressed
opposite views Wednesday concerning
construction of the proposed Red River
Dam near Clay City.

Gov. Wendel! Ford, candidate for the
Democratic Senate nomination. said he is
convinced it is in the best interest of
Kentucky‘s future that the project
proceed.

I.\' CONTRAST. incumbent SengMarlow
Cook. a Republican candidate. said he will
recommend the Red River Dam project be
cancelled immediately and no further
funds be appropriated

Cook. releasing his statement prior to
Ford’s on Wednesday. said he will testify
before the Public Works Subcommittee of
the Senate Appropriations Committee
today and suggest the Corps of Engineers
lCOE) abandon the Red River reservoir
project.

Several L'K students and faculty
members are in Washington today to
testify before House and Senate Ap-
propriations Committees for Public Works
and voice opposition to the proposed Red
River Dam funding

Both committees will meet today and
hear testimony from supporters and op-
ponents of the project and will decide
whether more money will be allocated for
the planning of the dam.

DELEGATES FROM Lexington in-
clude: Shelley Griffith. Student Govern—
ment tSGi Commissioner of Physical
Environment; Dr. Robert Kuehne. biology
professor; Dr. Dave Richardson; assistant
economics professor; Tim Murphy, an
active Jessamine County en-
vironmentalist; and Linda Welch. an
Environmental Action Society member.

The Senate Committee will meet at 10
am. today and the Lexington represen-
tatives will have a total ofeight minutes to
speak before the senators.

During the eight minutes. Griffith said
she would describe the day-long rally in
Frankfort last Saturday in opposition to
the dam and reservoir. and would tell
about the student movement and opinions
concerning the project.

Kl'I-IIINE WILL speak for one or two
minutes concerning the detriment the dam
will cause to the area environment.

The remaining five minutes will be used
by Richardson to explain monetary
reasons why the dam should not be built

In the House committee. the entire
Kentucky delegations will be heard at the 2
pm. meeting. Other than the Red River
Gorge representatives. at least eight
different delegations will speak on dams
proposed throughout the state.

Ford said in his statement. released
about three hours after Cook‘s.

any

decision by the governor for or against
must be made in light of the overall best
interest of the Commonwealth with the
future needs being fully analyzed.

“In expressing my opinion on various
issues I must consider every side without
any personal feeling interfering. but must
weigh carefully the ultimate results as
they affect all citizens of Kentucky and
this is my first responsibility as gover-
nor.” Ford said.

FORD SUI) he had high respect for
persons who exercise their citizenship in
the Red River Dam matter whether they
are for or against the prtiject.

As governor. Ford said. "those of us in
positions of leadership are duty bound to
be decisive. realizing difficulties involved
and even more so. realizing that in any
controversial issue you cannot please
everyone. "

Ford. who had not taken a stand on the
issue until yesterday. criticized Cook for
not taking a stand on the project sooner

It's about time

After months of refusal to lean one way or another
on the proposed Red River dam project. both Sen.
Marlow Cook and Gov. Wendell Ford Wednesday
chose to take opposite sides.

Both men earlier indicated they would like to keep
the issue out of the senatorial campaign in which they
will be likely opponents this fall. It's clear to us.
however. this may become one of the hottest topics of

the race.

Cook. for the second time within a year, has taken
sides with environmentalists. He is an opponent of
Red River dam. He is also an opponent of the Paint
Creek dam project near Paintsville and is continuing
down the path of his predecessor, former Sen. John
Sherman Cooper, who promised Red River dam
would not be built while he held his Senate seat.

Ford . on the other hand. is siding with business
interests. He claims the dam is necessary for central
Kentucky‘s future water needs, as well as a flood
control measure in the Clay City area.

Cook will be in Washington today where he will
exert his influence to cancel the project before the
Public Works Subcommittee of the Senate Ap-

propriations Committee.

We hope his testimony and that of several Kentucky
citizens. including members of this University
community. will be sufficient to stymie the project.
()therwise. we‘re afraid the Red River will be sub-
jected to a partisan battle and a questionable life

expectancy.

It‘s too bad Mother Nature has to put up with so
much interference from politicians and engineers.

to the store before the prices go up

Gotta run

WASHINGTON — A letter
arrived from a Chicago reader
the other day. and clipped to it
was a Reichsbanknote for
einhundert millionen mark. The
paper was of poor-quality
magazine stock. while the money
itself was worth so little the
government had only printed one
side of it.

The bills sender wrote: “In
1923 I worked in Germany on a
construction job. and we got paid
twice a week. The paymaster
carried a suitcase full of money
like the one bill I am enclosing. It
sure could happen here. I feel
sorry for many people like
myself. I worked 45 years with
the same firm. never got union
wages. but saved a little money.
Each year the purchasing power
of my savings is getting less and
less. Did it pay for me to save all
those years?”

l’ltlt‘tis .\Rt2 not yet going up
so rapidly that people have to be
paid twice a week so they can get
to the grocery store before their
wages lose their purchasing
power. but the rate of the price

rise is accelerating. At the same
time. the amount of inflation that
the government normal or ac-
ceptable has been growing and
growing.

During the Eisenhower years a
2' 3 to 3 per cent rise was thought
necessary to maintain full em—
ployment and prosperity. In the
Kennedy years that moved up to
around the «l per cent~plus level.
and into the 5 to 6 per cent range
under Johnson. Now with an
actual inflationary rate that
could be as high as 15 to 16 per
cent. they'd be delighted to settle
for 10 per cent a year.

Nevertheless. what goes up
doesn‘t necessarily have to come
down. and Murray Rothbard. the
right-wing libertarian economist.
doesn‘t think prices will.

“This year is more like 1927
than 1929. but the key difference
is that then we were still on the
gold standard. and.so they could
deflate the money. The govern-
ment today will never deflate. so
I don‘t think we‘ll get a classic
1929 crash but something more
like the 19:23 German thing."

lltlTlll'Altl) I’UIVTS out that

Edttorlals

 

And you ask, what can he do?

the Nixon Administration made a
stab at checking the increase in
the money supply, but when the
inevitable recession began to hit
them they panicked and went
back to cheap money. No
government. Republican or
Democrat, is prepared to take a
recession. even the quick one that
Rothbard estimates is all that
would be necessary.

“If we really had a free
market recession, it would be
over before people bellyache
about it." he says, comparing the
performance of the economy now
with its laissez-faire past, when
recessions were very sharp but of
short duration.

It's government intervention,
he asserts, which has lengthened
them and which made 1929 and
the Depression an object of such
fright. even for those too young to
remember. Rothbard thinks we
have the savings and borrowing
power to take a quick unem-
ployment snap to get the in-
flationary infection out of our
system. but he‘s poking around
with a non-debatable topic.

l“.\'l£.\' 'l‘lllil‘till it requires

more and more inflation to crank
up proportionately fewer and
fewerjobs, no one in Washington,
with a few exceptions like Sen.
Proxmire of Wisconsin and
Arthur Burns. the Chairman of
the Federal Reserve. are willing
to contemplate a change from
policies and practices that are
serving us less and less well with
each successive announcement of
the monthly money figures.

Increasing the money supply
looks sexy at the early stages of
inflation because, Rothbard
believes, prices don't rise as fast,
at first, for the reason that people
are saving their money and
waiting for prices to come down.
Then, when it becomes obvious
prices never will drop again, the
rush to buy and borrow is on, a
rush that gets more frantic as
people learn how hard it is to
protect their money.

Only a few people are wealthy
enough to do this. The rest suffer
even with cost-of—living escalator
clauses. which give little
protection but encourage more
inflationary throwing of money
around. A very small minority, of

    

course, can make money from
the shrinking dollar; and they ae
the bankers who get first crack
at the newly printed money,
because the first spenders get to
buy at the old. lower prices.

BY THE time the money gets to
the rest of us, the sellers have
caught on and the prices have
caught up to the cheapened
dollar.

This form of robbery was bad
enough in the old days, when the
government printed greenbacks.
But now money is created even
faster and more deceptively
withouta printing press by giving
banks the power to create credit,
which is the power to lend money
that doesn‘t exist.

“Under these circumstances,"
Rothbard remarks, “it would be
better to have a King. At least
he’d own something and have an
incentive to protect it."

Environmental legacy

 

Philippe Weishecker

not easily concealed

By Pllll. (‘REWE
Before Wendell Ford was elected
governor. he crossed the border to Wise,
Virginia. for a secret meeting with
representatives of the Kentucky strip

mining industry. The exact details of what

went on behind those closed doors Will
probably never be known by Kentucky's
citizens. However. Wendell Ford's en-
vironmental legacy. like that of his
predecessors. cannot be so easily con-
cealed. It is one of mountains butchered by
the strippers. bleeding their precious
topsoil into our streams. It is one of
families displaced by sliding spoilbanks
and public roads destroyed and
monopolized by illegally-overweight coal
trucks. It is one of powerful special in-
terests superceding the public interest.
The Army Corps of Engineers. with the
backing of a shortsighted Congressman
and numerous real estate interests, now
plan to sacrifice Kentucky’s priceless Red
River Gorge t0 the false god of private
profit. The Red River Dam project. which
will cost 30 to 40 million tax dollars. and
displace 55 fa milies, is being pushed by the
businessmen and land speculators who

stand to be the chief financial beneficiaries

Your health

of the project.

GOVERNOR WENDELL FORD. the
man who can stop this disaster by the
mere stroke of a pen, has up till now
remained indifferent to the opinions of
Lexington Mayor Foster Pettit and
Lexington‘s state legislators Mike
Moloney and Joe Graves. These public
officials have repeatedly said that Red
River Lake is not needed to supply Central
Kentucky‘s water and have come up with
an alternative supply at a fraction of the
cost. The less costly levee alternatives for
flood control and the folly of trading off the
gorge for mudflats and vacation homes
have also been well documented by the
Louisville Courier-Journal.

The point is this: Wendell Ford has been
sending content-lacking form letter replies
on the issue for too long. He has made it
clear he doesn‘t intend Red River Dam to
be an issue in the senatorial election. It
will be only the mounting public outrage
which finally forces Wendell Ford to save
the Gorge.

Morally, legally, it is still adultery

By ARVIL C. REED. MSW

It is called many things — “an affair".
“strange“. “straying.“ Morally and
legally it’s still usually called adultery.
More recently it’s proclaimed as a sign of
maturity and self actualization within an
“open” relationship. Sexual intercourse
with someone other than your spouse or
committed partner is the topic.

The idea of an “Open Marriage”
including freedom to experience others
sexually is a somewhat different topic
since the extramarital sex is discussed and
agreed to by each. Here the “openness"
about one's actions is seen as justification
for outside sexual activities. The
evidence to date suggests that this is based
on an unrealistic view of human nature
and likely to be a disaster for the majority
of those wht experiment with it. In any
event “()pen Marriage“ is a special case
and will not be dealt with here.

MY EXPERIENCE as a clinical social
worker has led me to view “going outside"
one‘s marriage as a “mixed bag“ —— in

Isome few situations it is only incidental to

other problems and has little or no effect

on the couple. For another small number
an affair gives new self confidence and
helps toward a redefinition of their worth
as individuals. In such cases this change is
helpful to the relationship only if it leads
the person to make reasonable demands
and if kept secret to protect the spouse's
feelings.

The most frequent result of “going
outside“ is to complicate an already bad
relationship problem. The most recent
research data (Playboy Foundation 1974)
shows that anywhere from 80 to 98 pet cent
of men and women say that they or their
partner would object to any kind of ex-
tramarital sex experience by the other.
Among those who are divorced following
extramarital sex more than half felt this
was the major cause of the breakup. For
most all of us this remains a major
transgression and serious breach of trust
and committment.

“Going outside" can be as simple as an
impulsive. one time “roll in the hay" that
is experienced as fun but nothing more.
This kind of sex may not effect a stable
relationship unless “confessed" either out
of guilt or desire to hurt. (‘ouples with
problems of sexual dysfunction frequently

will go outside the marriage in an attempt
to check themselves out sexually.

THIS T00 is not always harmful, par-
ticularly if it leads the couple to talk with
each other about their problems and seek
help. Most often extramarital sex is either
unconsciously handled in such a way as to
be discovered by others. or is proudly
confessed to the partner. It‘s then likely to
be taken as the hurting thing it is usually
intended to be.

Now some words of advice (something
peoplethink counselors don‘t do). Ifyou're

conte'nplating sexual intercourse out-

side your marriage or relationship:

—ADon‘t doit if you can't bear the burden
of whatever guilt it will create in you.
Here‘s one situation in which confession
may be good for the soul but disasterous to
the relationship.

—l)().\"'l‘ [)0 it if it‘s intended to punish
your partner. This is an unfair way to fight
and will usually compound your problems.
There are better ways to fight than with
your genitals.

~ Don't over estimate your partner's
”maturity" to handle such things despite

what you may tell each other. Acceptance
of a spouse's outside sexual activities is
very rare.

—Allow yourself and your partner room
to fantasize and think about a variety of
sexual partners. Fantasy is free and does
not have the real life consequences
associated with acting on your impulses.
Thinking and feeling are entirely different
from doing. Never feel guilty about what
you think or feel. Guilt and sorrow are
realistic and healthy only over things
actually done.

——R EMERIBER. Yfll'R push or
pressure to have an affair may not be so
much a reflection on your current
marriage as you think. It may well be a
rcawakening of your childhood and
adolescent problems. If you will stop and
not take any action before exploring your
motives as with a psychotherapist you
may save yourself and those around you
much hurt.

Ford vs. Cook

 

Senate rivals take apposite views
on construction of Red River Dam

(‘ontinued from page 1

"I HAVE heard some say that
in an election year I should op-
pose it (the dam). I disagree.
Such decisions for political ex—
pediency are unreasonable."
Ford said.

Claiming the project was
under Cook's jurisdiction for the
five years he has been in the
Senate, Ford said. “perhaps he
can now be against the Red River
project because it is an election

year. but this is not the way-

public officials should react."

Cook‘s main reason for op-
posing the dam is that it will
destroy one of the truly unique
natural areas in the world while
providing dubious benefits for the
surrounding area.

"AT THE same time I will
recommend that the Corps of
Engineers immediately begin the
most effective means of
providing flood protection for. the
Clay City area so that a project
for that purpose may be ex-
pediciously developed." Cook
added.

In his statement. Cook ex-
plained the three objectives the
project was designed to ac-
complish.

The first reason for flooding the
gorge. Cook said, was to provide
a recreational facility. “Last
year some 900,000 people visited
the Red River Gorge which in-
dicates that it is already an ap-
pealing and attractive area."
Cook added.

ANOTHER REASON for
building the dam and reservoir is
to provide flood protection for the
Clay City area. Cook said this
purpose could be accomplished
much more quickly and
economically through a project
aimed exclusively at that ob-
jective.

The other objective to be ob-
tained by the dam was to provide
water. quality control and

emergency water supply for 12
cities in the surrounding area.

Cook said last week the COE
decided to delete the water
supply objective from their
request for the program. He
added the water supply was the
second major purpose of the
project and since it has been
eliminated, the recreational
facility and flood protection are
the only reasons for the dam to be
built and they were not sufficient
enough to continue the dam
project.

IN lllSstatement, Ford did not
recognize the water supply
reason has been deleted from the
objectives.

“Support of this project is
based on my firm conclusions
that water supply and flood
control are mandantory,” Ford
said.

Ford said there is no question
about the impendingla ck of clean

sufficient drinking water in
communities below the dam.

“WE MUST think of the future
and act now to insure that the
future will not find insufficient
water supplies," Ford added.

Also in his reasons for op-
position, Ford said, “We must
think of protecting property and
lives from flooding which the
project will do. We must think of
uncontrolled development in the
area and uncontrolled activity
which could simultaneously
destroy the values project op-
ponents want to protect. So do 1."

Ford added he did not think the
lake will destroy the Red River
Gorge.

Cook contends the dam will
destroy the Red River Gorge
area and said it should be im-
mediately cancelled and called
for no further funds to be ap—
propriated for continued con-
sideration of the dam and
reservoir.

By KIM Y ELTON

Friends of the Public Library,

woman. “All donations are tax
deductible.

“We will have two sales. The
first, on May 28 from 7 to 9 p.m..
is a sale of ‘better books’. We will
ask a minimum price of usually
a dollar or more on all of the
books".

Buyers write a bid on a piece of
paper for the books they want. At
the end of the evening, books are
sold to the highest bidder.

“This is a silent auction," she
explained.

“WHEN AN author’s works are
collected widely, as with these
men. first editions are usually
expensive". said Cecil Bull.
chairwoman of the Tuesday night
event.

The second sale, May 30 from
10 a.m. to 8 pm. offers books for
25 cents or less.

“There is a great deal of good
research material here." said
O‘Neil. “in history literature.

qualifies a person to win any of
five books: America. by Alistair

books from the collection of the
late Dr. A.D. Kirwan (former UK

these events will be used to buy
audio-visual equipment for the
library." O'Neil explained.

the US. is suffering from lack of
funds. The Lexington library.
itself. is far below what the
American Library Association
recommends in funding. This will
