UK community works
for United Way drive

By BUN MITCHELL
Managing Editor

University employes and faculty have
contributed or pledged over $50,000 to the
United Way of the Bluegrass campaign.
according to Dr. ElbertOckerman, dean of
admissions and registrar and chairman of
the University United Way Drive.

Over 400 members of the University
community are working in the campaign,
he said. and an attempt is being made to
personally contact as many of the
University‘s 8,000 employes as possible.

“TIIE MURE people we involve the
more interest will be generated,"
()ckerman said. “We are emphasizing a
person-to—person. faceto-face campaign.“

There is no arm-twisting involved in the
campaign. ()ckerman said. The main goal
is to increase the number of givers rather
than the total amount of money pledged.

Several public relations tactics have
been employed in soliciting University
employe support for the drive.

WHEN Till-2 campaign first began
University President ()tis Singletary sent
letters to faculty members praising the
United Way and urged them to support the
organization since it aids 21 community
agencies.

Abmt 420 potted plants were donated to
the campaign and were delivered at
various postal stops around campus. UK
student volunteers delivered the plants.

Large. colorful signs denoting the
University‘s progress in the drive have
been placed on the Administration
Building lawn. at the Rose Street entrance
to Main campus and on Cooper Drive
across from Commonwealth Stadium.

WIN campaign techniques maudlinly corny

Political pundits have been having
a merry time disposing of President
Gerald Ford‘s WIN (Whip Inflation
Now) program. For the most part
they make some humorous passing
reference to it, then go on to discuss
what they consider the salient pointst
of Ford’s inflation-fighting efforts.
But there is more to the WIN
campaign than they realize.

The point behind WIN is the same
point that ecologists, agronamists and
economists have been stressing for
yeats: that man cannot continue to
wantoniy consume the earth‘s
resources without upsetting
ecological and economic balances.

Letters to the editor

Ford, by including in his inflation
program an emphasis on individual

conservation, is officially recognizing-

that our economic problems are not
merely within the realm of fiscal or
monetary policies.

The problem with the WIN program
is the way in which it‘s packaged. The
sloganeering and button-hawking
come off like just another ad-man‘s
idea of enlightened mass-selling
techniques and Ford's references to
World War II patriotic sacrifices are
lost on a generation which witnessed
the Vietnam excesses. At best, the
WIN campaign techiques seem
maudlinly corny.

Some of those who see beyond the
selling techniques of WIN have
questioned its worth in easing
inflation, saying that it is merely a
political ploy to mobilize public
support for Ford‘s policies. ()thers
claim that shortages of resources do
not cause inflation anyway, so why
include the WIN program in an anti-
inflation plan‘.’

It may be true that shortages are
not in themselves inflationary, but the
psychology of shortages can affect
prices. An example of this is the
much-publicized “oil shortage.” The
rise in the price of petroleum products
is not due to a lack of crude oil but to

an anticipation of a lack of crude oil.
The Arab countries are able to
capitalize (literally) on this
anticipation, and Americans are all
too willing to oblige them by blithely
continuing to consume huge amounts
of oil and its by-products.

It is that drive to consume that Ford
is attacking, perhaps tokenly, in his
WIN program. He hopes to reverse
that psychology of shortages by
instilling a spirit of frugality and
coiisen'ationism in the American
people. If WIN can do that, then it
may turn out to be the most important
and effective of Ford‘s economic
policies.

 

Red ants invade

I‘m afraid that the situation in
the Yucatan peninsula of south-
ern Mexico is worsening rapidly.
The army of red ants — swollen
by multiple pregnancies —— has
overspread the countryside as far
as the eye can see.

Let me quote Professor Jose
Cuervo of the late Sao Paulo
Wildlife Research Center, who
has been following the ants ever
since they chewed up South
America.

“Right now I’m high up on a
mesa overlooking the advancing
ant army. It‘s just fantastic.
They are marching northward,
pausing only to eat and have
babies. How they conceive the
babies is anybody’s guess.

Most of the refugees are
keeping well ahead of the ants
and are warning the rest of the
Mexican population. A couple of
million Columbians were almost
eaten alive yesterday because of
their slow plodding but they
managed to get their derrieres in
gear, n‘est-ce pas?

Everybody is fleeing the
ferocious little beggars except
the owners of a nearby Coca-Cola
plantation. I talked with the grim
manager earlier this morning as
fieldhands stood nervously
around, clutching voodoo talis‘
mans and ju—ju sticks.

The manager had on a
pin-striped Coca—Cola uniform
and was dipping the drink out of a
nearby earthenware jar.

“If they’re looking for a fight,
we‘ll give ’em one", spoke the
manager as he gazed at the
not—toodistant horizon.

“I sent a couple of the boys out
there with a white flag to talk
peace but that was three hours
ago. The ants probably got 'em
thinking there weren‘t no more of
us.

“I've got another boy ready
when the ants come over that hill
to deliver my personal message
to their leaders."

“And what’s that?" I asked.

“Nuts!" he replied, still gazing
unflinchingly out over the desert.

[departed soon after, declining
an offer from the manager to help
defend the plantation with an
extra ju-ju stick.

“You must inform the ignorant
up there of the coming catas-
trophe!"

OK, you may have doubted the
truth before or thought that I was
a basket case. You may have
thought both. But now the
evidence is becoming too over-
whelming for even the most timid
to reject? We are directly in the
path of a marauding army of red
ants.

Now, just go home tonight and
look at your boxed ant farm and
tell me a shiver doesn't creep up
your spine.

Ah ha! You can‘t tell me that.
So there!

Not just a fence

If Mr. Donald Jones' Oct. 14
comment was intended to deal
with “Facts", he should get his
straight. I am referring to Mr.
Jones' “Fact No. 2" and “Fact
No. 3‘ in regard to the Bureau of
Highways safety program.

Mr. Jones suggests that the
only function of mile-post
markers is to “keep the highway
crews from getting lost". Actu-
ally three of the essential
purposes they serve are: one, to
aid law enforcement agencies in
accurately identifying accident
locations for rescue operations:
two. to locate high accident areas
for safety improvements and;
three, to account for mainten-
ance expenditures and man-hour
efforts. Monitoring such statis-
tics provides one means of
locating high maintenance ex-
penditures areas that should be
corrected by reconstruction
funds rather than by mainten-
ance efforts.

Guard rails, referred to as
“just a fence“, protect motorists
from head-on collisions with
bridge abutments to avoid
serious injury or fatalities.

The Interstate Highway Act
and subsequent safety acts
passed by the US. Congress
require the installation of guard
rails and mile-post markers.
Such installations are not the
prerogative of any state govern-
ment or governor.

aw

Funds for safety improvements
are provided on a 9010 per cent
matching basis, with the state
paying 10 per cent of the burden.

Considering that approximate-
ly 50.000 persons lose their lives
on America's highways each
year, I believe funds appropri-
ated for safety are well spent.
These innovations in highway
safety have and will save lives
regardless of a driver‘s political
affiliation. I hope that Mr. Jones
never needs the services pro-
vided by mile-post markers and
guard rails. (Drive carefully and
write factually Mr. Jones.)

Win or lose?

A review of the current football
season till now leads me to
believe that we can win all of our
remaining football games or we
could lose ‘em all.

One fact is that we will have the
home field advantage in four of
these six remaining games so I
feel the enthusiasm of the fans
and students could help the Cats
come through with at least a
winning season.

The secret is to yell our heads
off and cause something good to
happen rather than sit back and
wait for it to happen and then
cheer. In other words, let‘s root
‘em in.

We do this in basketball year
after year.

If you have ever been to
Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Ole
Miss or Auburn, then you know

what I mean. You feel almost
intimidated by the enthusiasm

and the roaring created at these

places. Let's do some intimida
ting of our own.

Veterans can't make it without assistance

By NELSON SPARKS

After reading your Oct. 10
editorial, entitled "Veterans‘
benefits increase is
inflationary." I feel compelled to
respond. There are, I feel, certain
factors which one should consider
before condemning the veterans‘
bill.

Most of the present student
veterans entered the service
while the draft law was still in
effect. Those who were not ready
or able to attend college after
high school had to enter the
service unless they wanted to
leave the country or go to jail.
Military pay at that time was
very low; an unskilled laborer
made more. The large numbers
of men in the military during the
Vietnam war left more jobs
available to the civilian segment
of the population at pay rates
above military pay.

WHILE SOME men learned
valuable skills in the service,
others were given training that
was entirely useless in civilian
life. These men are no better
prepared for a job than before
they entered the service.

A person just out of high school
is apt to receive financial help
from his parents while he is in
college but a veteran's parents
are less likely to reassume such a
burden for a son who has been

away from home for several

years and who is now in his
twenties.

A veteran without outside help
simply cannot make it on his
monthly VA check. He must work
at least part-time to supplement
his income. This means he will
have less study time and his
grades are apt to suffer, hurting
his chances for admission into a
graduate school and his chances
for a job. Even with the new,

Denial of gay lib

By R. REUEL KARP

As a pre-law student and as a
human being. I was appalled to
learn that the University Legal
Counsel, supported by the
Attorney General of the Com-
monwealth of Kentucky. has
again refused to recognize the
Gay Liberation Front as a
student organization at UK, and
to thereby grant it equal rights
and privileges with other student
political groups.

Gay Liberation is the last of the
civil rights groups that emerged
in the late 60‘s and early 70‘s to
demand an end to its disenfran-
chisement by the mainstream of
American society.

[FEEL that it is a tribute to the
backwardness, insensitivity, and
ignorance of the UK Board that it
feels justified in continuing to act
upon and encourage others to
similarly act upon such frankly
oppressive attitudes towards one
of America's largest and most
oppressed minorities.

According to Bryan Bunch‘s
article in the Oct. 14 Kernel, “the
predominant reason given by

increased benefits it will be next
to impossible to make it without a
job.

YOl'R PROPOSAL that more
low-interest loan money be made
available to veterans is
inadequate for a number of
reasons. First, it is based on the
assumption that many student
veterans are not in need of
increased benefits. I doubt the
validity of this assumption.
Secondly, the Veterans'

these men to deny the recognition
of GLF is the potentially harmful
psychological effects on UK
students that would ensue after
the granting of organizational
status."

First of all. the American
Psychiatric Association (APA)
voted in December of 1973 to
remove homosexuality from its
Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual as a form of psycho-
sexual disorder. the current
trend among psychiatrists being
to consider homosexuality and
lesbianism as being preferences
rather than illnesses. In this
regard, isn’t the UK Board
considering itself more qualified
in the field of psychiatry than the
APA, which tends to consider
homosexuality and lesbianism
about as significant as being
left-handed or greeneyed?

SECONDLY. Singletary says
that “an implied endorsement of
a group which views the
homosexual way of life as
a desirable state would be
counterproductive at the very
best.“ According to the Kinsey
report, there is no such thing as a

M

Administration is already a
notoriously inefficient
bureaucratic mess. In some parts
of the country, veterans have had
to wait for months to collect the
benefits to which they are
entitled. Forcing large numbers
of men to apply for VA loans
would simply gum up the works
further.

Finally, the veterans have
already given up years of their
lives to a useless war. They have
forfeited years of potential

 

earnings. They have delayed
their educations and put off the
time when they can begin their
careers and become productive
members of society. They are
having to rake and scrape to
finally achieve an education and
you propose that they be forced to
begin their careers saddled with
a debt to the government which
has already taken so much from
them. This is grossly unfair.
Veterans‘ benefits are not
welfare. These men have

Edward Gorey

sacrificed a great deal and they
have been given little in return. I
do not deny the gravity of the
inflation problem and I do not
deny the need to hold the line on
government spending. But can’t
the government find a way to
hold down its spending without
forcing the veterans to “bite the
bullet?" He has already been
biting it for a long time.

shows Board's ignorance

“homosexual way of life."
Homosexual activity occurs
among all strata of American
society, and homosexuals and
lesbians are virtually undistin—
guishable from the rest of the
populace. By age 40. it is
estimated that more than one-
third of all men and oneeighth of
all women have had at least one
physical homosexual relationship
leading to orgasm.

And isn‘t the endorsement of a
continued attitude of insularity.
stubbornness, and bigotry. rather
than willingness to accept and
respect all members of society —
regardless of their perspective,
values system. or lifestyle —
more “counterproductive" than
anything else could possibly be?
Homosexuals are human beings
whose lives are no less real or
valid than anyone else‘s; and one
should recognize that there is no
single legitimate way to happi-
ness.

Thirdly, Singletary states, as
another reason for not recogniz-
ing the GLF. that “there is also
the question of public accept-
ability. The registration of GLF
would. in my opinion, tend to

bring discredit. in the eyes of the
general public, upon this institu-
tion." What, if anything, is
“discrediting” about discarding
a values system that refuses to
accept an estimated 10-per cent of
its population? Does it really
matter who loves and prefers
whom as sex, love, or life
partners? Does it matter with
whom people enjoy pleasurable.
worthwhile. intimate. loving.
caring relationships, in which
people relate to each other
candidly, as human beings?
Institutions and social values
should be established to serve
people, not to sacrifice people to
them. They must be modified or
entirely abandoned when they
have become outmoded.

IF THE purpose of a university
is to promote complete education
of its student body, then it is
imperative that the students
become acquainted with all
aspects of human life, not only
with the abstractions found in
books and lectures, but also with
the more pragmatic truths
learned by coping with other

people in a broad spectrum of
social and personal contexts.

Homosexuals and lesbians are
not merely stereotyped char-
acters existing only in the
imaginations of authors of cheap
pornographic literatire; they are
human beings, whose numbers
are counted among our families,
friends. and acquaintances.

If we are to become truly
learned. we cannot establish an
arbitrary concept of an ideal
social order and then refuse to
recognize the existence or worth
of whatever falls outside of it:
rather. we must first cope with
other people as they are, and then
empirically derive a meaningful
values system. ‘ ‘t

IT IS TIME for UK to take its
place among the other great
institutions of higher education.
by not hesitating any longer to
abdicate those values which have
become corrupt and stagnant; by
adapting values more appro-
priate to the evolving texture of
society.

Big Brothers

K-Club members spend

By JOHN VOGI‘ZI.
Kernel Staff Writer
Fourteen members of the K-
t'lub, UK‘s varsity athletes'
organization, are big brothers to
a group of fatherless boys in
Lexington.
The K-(‘lub members spend
part of their spare time each
week with their little brothers.

SENIOR SWIMMER Tom
Ewing said he came up with the
idea for the big brothers project
during the summer.

“I talked to (Executive
Director of Big Brothers of
Lexingtom Larry Logan and he
came and spoke at our first
meeting in September." Ewing
said. “We then decided our
project for this would deal with
the big brothers organization.“

The club members expressed
interest and I4 of them now have
little brothers. Ewing said.

ORIGINALLY. the project was
to involve about one hour a week
but it has consumed much more
of the big brothers" spare time.
Ewing said.

The little brothers have been
treated to [K football games
with tickets donated by the
.-\llllt‘ll(' Association. Ewing said.

 

JOIN THE NIGHT CROWD!

But football games aren‘t the
only activity.

One weekend, Ewing said, “I
took my little brother to the water
polo match Saturday afternoon
and the football game that night.

Then the next afternoon we
watched pro football on
television.“

THE PROJECT isn't

elaborate. “The kids just want to
knock around with you. The boys
we‘ve had are between six and 14
years old,“ Ewing said.

“At their ages, athletics are
imputant to the kids. They are
not trouble makers or
delinquents. but we hope to give
them leadership and just be what
a big brother should be to these
kids."

Ewing said he believes the boys
enjoy coming to the University
and the big brothers like having
the kids here. “We're proud to be
with them." he said.

TIIE Nl'MBER of participants
is expected to increase at the end
of football season. Ewing said
they hope to enlist a total of 20 big
brothers for the project.

Logan said he is pleased with
the athletes' enthusiasm for the
program.

“I know that when I was at
their agel never had compassion
like them," he added. “I was
interested in other things —like
sports and girls. But being big
brothers is a part of their life.”
