Gov. Wendell Ford. candidate for the
U.S. Senate. Wednesday night attacked
what has developed into a major campaign
issue» the proposed Red River Dam
project.

Speaking before approximately 100
people a t a rally for 79th legislative district
Democratic precinct workers. Ford
stressed the finer points of his supportive
stand on the dam. seeking to coerce many
of Lexmgton‘s dissident Democratic
community to his side.

Rl‘ll’l‘HIJFAN SEN. Marlow (700k.
Ford‘s main opposition in the November
election. disagrees sharply with the
(lovemor's stand and maintains a position
agamst the Red River project.

Ford promised those concerned with the
dams construction. "the best of two
worlds. We're saving the gorge. but we're
also going to provide water for your
children and your children's children

Using a detailed map behind him. Ford
pointed to the proposed dam site in the
lower region of the gorge. He said a large
pool separates the dam from the scenic
area located in the upper region of the

gorge.

"IT'S 'l‘llt: upper gorge that is so
beautiful and where all the young people
go with their back-packs and camp." Ford
said. “This is where the white water is.
The pool which will catch the back-up of
the dam doesn‘t even reach the upper
region.“

“When you talk about destroying all the
scenic sites and all the biological
communities. they‘re not destroyed,
they‘re not even touched." he said. He
added that he did not depend on the Army
Corps of Engineers for all of his
information

Cites area floods

Gov. Ford supports Red River Dam proiect

Ford‘s speech reflected a change in
strategy. He originally felt the Lexington-
Bluegra$ area's need for water was the
major justification for the dam's
construction

"THIS PAST weekend. starting last
Thursday (Aug. 29). over 6000 acres of
farmland in the Red River area have been
destroyed by flooding.“ he said. citing the
recent heavy rains in the state.

“On Saturday tAug. 31) another 4.000
acres were flooded." said the Governor.
"This caused $500,000 worth of damage to
hay and corn crops. Thank goodness most
of the tobacco had already been brought
in."

“Sure we don't need the dam today,"
Ford said, gesturing to the crowd. “But
consider the needs for the future."

Ford supported his contention that the
dam was necessary due to an ever
increasding demand for water by pointing
out the vast growth of the Bluegrass area.
“popula tion-wise. industrial-wise and in
every way."

proposed dam. The Park Equipment
(‘ompany has elected to build a new plant
there which is expected to employ many
area residents. ”That's a God-send to the
community." said Ford. “And where are
they going to get the water for the plant?
From Lexington. which will get it from the
Red River.“

Ford denied the Army Corps of
Engineers had supplied him with the
alternate plans for the dam. as had been
reported. He claimed he had seen no such
alternatives and that a proposed project to
switch the water from one watershed to
another was unenforceable because “one
person can legally stop it. “

“i hope that my conservation approach
has been at least reasonably good." Ford
said. “An environmentalist wants to
improve on what you have and provide for
the future."

Tlllfi GOVERNOR attacked Cook for his
fluctuating position on the dam. He said

time would have flooded the scenic area he
is now tiying to protect.

inspection of the dam area. but. according
to Ford. the senator looked in the wrong
place.

Full—time students who work part-time

However. their salaries come from
department funds and the amount they are
paid is the decision of the department
head. he explained. Students are paid sub-
niinimum wages only if they work less
than 20 hours per week.

The new law. which took effect May I
1074. raised the minimum wage from $1.65
to $1.00 per hour

It allows employers to pay sub~

University reports long overdue

Program improvements in many
areas of the University have been
making the news recently as
members of the community strive to
keep pace with other institutions
higher learning.

But silently overshadowing all
improvements is the absence of the
long-awaited HEW report. and an
assessment of black programs on
campus. Both reports have missed
their mid-August deadlines with little
notice from members of the
community.

The HEW affirmative action report
has been so long in the mill that the

Don't pass up

guidebook

All students living off-campus
should make an effort to obtain a copy
of the recently published “Tenant 8;
Landlord Guidebook". The joint
project of Tenant Services and
()rganization Assistance. Inc, and
Student Government is a concise and
well clarified guide for tenants and
landlords.

The publication contains hints for
apartment or house upkeep. several
basic rights that should be offered
tenants. a list of the tenant‘s
responsibilities to the landlord and a
brief but clear look at the state's new
Landlord-Tenant Act. For the
landlord the book spells out his basic
rights and responsibilities and gives
options for him to follow when a
tenant isn’t abiding by a lease.

A list of organisations that offer aid
to tenants and landlords when a crisis
arises is also included in the
guidebook.

Mark Kleckner, a senior political
science major and research assistant
for Tenant Services, did an excellent
job of condensing the Landlord-
Tenant Act. The cooperation of the
sponsoring organizations and the
Student Affairs Office, which
financed 5,000 copies of the
guidebook, produced a beneficial and
much needed service for students of
the University community.

 

final statement could be outdated.
While other institutions have made
significant progress with affirmative
action programs, or have at least
established guidelines to follow, this
University‘s implementation of a plan
has been bogged by two bureaucratic
breakdowns.

The first stall was initiated when
the HEW team that conducted an on-
site review of campus policies two
years ago couldn't get together to
prepare a report. Members of the
team came from different regions of
the nation and were unable to meet to
work on the report.

UK administrators waited a while

for the HEW team report but decided
enough time had been wasted and

under the leadership of Nancy Ray.
UK affirmative action director, the
institution began its own report.
University officials said the home—
grown version would outline the
problems they found and would offer
plans to correct them.

According to University sources the
report is near completion but the
absence of key contributors, on
vacation over the summer. has
delayed its appearance.

The assessment of black programs
on campus was initiated last spring
with Victor Gaines. director of the
special student program of the
medical school, at the helm.

Gaines was given three areas of
concentration to review:

Nixon vs. war resisters

The unforgiving double standard

By ROBERT NEWTON BARGER
THE NEW YORK TIMES news snnvrcr:

CHAMPAIGN, Ill—Richard M. Nix-
on denied ”forgiveness" to the Viet-
nam-war resisters because they would
not admit that they had done anything
seriously wrong. He once said that to
grant them amnesty would be an im-
moral thing.

The parallels between Mr. Nixon's
current situation and the war resisters’
are worth considering in terms of the
relative merits of their cases for am-
nesty.

Many of the resisters asserted that
their illegal actions were motivated by
a concern for the best interests of the
country. ‘

Mr. Nixon, on making public Aug.
5 the tapes of three June 23, 1972,
conversations with H. R. Haldeman—
the tapes that show he ordered a halt
to the investigation of the Watergate
break-in six days after it occurred—
said much the same thing, while ad-
mitting political motives.

The resisters say their witness
against the war was a service to the
nation and far outweighed any disre-
spect for law that their action might
have nurtured. Similarly, the conten-
tion is being made that Mr. Nixon's
achievements in the areas of peace-
making and foreign relations have
more than offset his part in the Water-
gate cover-up.

Many say that the resisters have al-

ready suffered enough through the de-
h‘umanization of prison, the bitterness

of exile or the terrors of underground
life.

Likewise, it has been noted that Mr.
Nixon has been forced to leave in dis-
grace the office for which he had
struggled all his life and to which he
was elected by the largest majority in
American history.

Some have argued that an amnesty
for the war resisters would benefit the
nation as a whole by putting an end to
the mutual recrimination that has con-
tinued even after American troop par—
ticipation in the Vietnam war has
ended. Similarly, it is said that a grant
of immunity for Mr. Nixon would serve
to ease the division between those
Americans who still support him and
those who do not.

The beauty of amnesty in both in-
stances is that it provides for a healing
of wounds and a reconciliation of all
parties involved without the necessity
for fixing of blame or an admission of
guilt.

Here a distinction between amnesty
and pardon is in order. The United
States Supreme Court said in 1915 that
"the one [amnesty] overlooks offense;
the other [pardon] remits punishment.
The first is usually addreSSed to crimes
against the sovereignty of the state,
to political offenses, forgiveness being
deemed more expedient for the public
welfare than prosecution and punish-
ment. The second condones infractions
of the peace of the state "

In an 1866 decision, the Court held
that besides the amnesty power held
by the President, Congress also en-
loved the power to grant amnesty. lt

off campus as they relate to black

~ Provide UK with an insight to
possible future needs that would be
beneficial to black students.

Again. University sources say this
report is near completion but the
absence of certain administrators is
holding up its release.

The community has waited too long
for the HEW report and shouldn't
tolerate a continued delay. The
campus should also be anxious for the
release of the Gaines report. The
immediate implementation of both
programs is essential. We hope the
administration will not keep them
hidden much longer.

declared that Congressional amnesty
“extends to every offense known to
the law, and may be exercised at any
time after its commission. either be-
fore legal proceedings arc taken, or
during their pendency, or after convic-
tion and judgment."

Thus amnesty would not necessarily
involve a double standard of justice,
it would simply be an act of adminis-
trative or legislative discretion pro-
vided for by the Constitution when. as
the Supreme Court said in 1915, for-
giveness is “deemed more expedient for
the public welfare than prosecution
and punishment."

Granted that the situations of both
Mr. Nixon and the war resisters are
different though containing many par-
allels, for all the alienation involved
on both sides perhaps we should grant
amnesty in both cases and call it a
draw.

The value of the rule of law would
not seem to be enhanced by vindictive
prosecution of either Mr. Nixon or the
war resisters. The value of mercy and
compassion would seem to be served
by an amnesty for both.

UK's two governing bodies ineffective

By MICHAEL BEWLEY

For the past couple of years, the
two governing bodies of the
university, the University and
Student Senates, have been greatly
ineffective. Faculty and student
senators have been confused by the
administration and themselves as
the role they play as senators.

The campus in the last two years
has seen the University Senate not
come to any clear decisions about
future directions of the University.
Few inroads have been made on the
question of promotion and tenure.
Other important questions have
arisen but the faculty members have
failed to carry the ball forward. and
the students have failed to show up.

THE STl'DI‘INT SENATE has
become. in the last couple of years,
a platform for campaigning for
Student Government President. A
cohesive student input unit has
failed to form out of the Student
Senate.

At many other universities,
faculty and student input through
the vehicles of senates have
contributed greatly to formation of
new programs. For example.
Howard University has adopted new
black awareness programs in its
community fought for by its
university senate. Because faculty
and student input does affect the
system and offers an alternative to
administrative decision. the faculty

Inflation difficulties

and student senators’ roles should be
redefined.

All senators, both faculty and
student, should become aware of the
“Great Expectations” syndrome.
Any new aspiring senator should
realize that senates will probably
not transform the campus
overnight. Senators should strive for
improved communications across
different campus groups as a
perfectly legitimate goal.

EACH NEW senator should have
some idea of what they would like
the institution to become. This will
help to prevent decisions from being
just piecemeal. New senators should
be sent through a training program
explaining what they can do and how
to do it.

The student members of the
University Senate should get course
credit for their efforts because
senate service should be serious
business. For the faculty, load credit
should be provided.

The procedure for voting should be
different than in the past. Senators
should try to avoid bloc voting. This
means that some of the strongest
allies in the senate may be from
other constituencies — some faculty
members may find themselves
voting consistently with some
administration members, while
others will usually vote with
students.

THE STUDENT SENATOR’S role
can be most rewarding. The Student
Senator in both the University and
Student Senates should be a liaison
between students and the
bureaucracy at this University.
There are many students who come
to the Student Government office
asking advice for various problems.
Student Senators should take the
burden upon themselves to become
familiar with the institution’s
hierarchy and help solve these
problems.

Another function of the Student
Senator should be as lobbyist in the
University Senate. Each senator
should become familiar with each
faculty member and work with these
people to gain support for student
issues. Student Senators should
monitor the decisions and programs
to see if the best interests of students
are considered.

The Student Senator‘s role in the
Student Senate should give direction
to Student Government. The
constitution of Student Government
gives the senate the sole right to
legislate the Student Government.
This involves overseeing all Student
Government activities and initiating
any new policies.

The structure of the current
Student Senate must be improved.
The current structure contends no
regular standing committees. The
Student Senate should form a

committee that would gather
information about programs at the
University and report to the senate.
Another committee should be
formed to keep the senators
informed of University Senate
happenings. The third committee
should be a committee that directs
the senate. This committee would
set goals for the senate during the
year. These committees would give
the senate m uch needed information

and direction.
THESE SUGGESTIONS sound

like the Student Senator should be a
wee] informed liaison-lobbyist. This
they should be. However, the two
most important things to remember
is these senators must have drive
and they must be held accountable.
Initiativeand accountability are two
values that are hard to propose.
They are left up to the students. But
there are ways that Student
Government could help. Student
Government should post all
attendance and voting lists of all
University and Student Senate
meetings at populated areas. Peer
pressure, however slight, will help
attendance.

Howard University’s student
senators look upon their jobs as not
only a responsibility but a great
opportunity. A Student Senator
should not let the office be an ego
trip but a chance to put a voice into
the system. The opportunity is there
senators, so use it.

No luck of problems: Ford short of answers

H) JUIIN (‘l'NNIFF
.\|’ Writer

NEW YORK — There is no lack of
problems for President Ford‘s inflation
fighters to consider, but there is likely to
be a shortage of practical. immediately
effective options.

There is, for example, the whole vast
area of government regulation to consider.
the operation of occupational health and
safety laws. regulations limiting
competititon. product safety rules,
ecological restraints.

IN) THESE activities of the various
governmental agencies raise prices? It
cannot be denied they do. The question
that the public and public officials must
decide is the price they are willing to pay
for them.

The chairman of General Motors,
Richard C. Gerstenburg. claims that
automobile buyers would save $30 to $40 if
the government permitted cars to be sold
without ignition interlocks, which prevent
movement if seat belts aren't attached.

Gerstenberg maintains GM is willing to
lower prices if it is permitted to eliminate
costly safety and polution-control
equipment. As it is. the big auto maker is
likely to raise prices again before many
months pass.

THE DILEMMA in this and similar
situations is whether to sacrifice the
quality of life and environment for lower
prices. Proponents of a better life quality
ltave maintained the dominant position in
recent years, but there are signs of
deterioration.

The Alaska pipeline project. for
example. was delayed for many months

until the Mideast nations suddenly
restricted oil exports and raised prices ~
and in the process convinced Congress to
let Alaskan oil flow south.

Some critics maintain that price-
reducing competition is actually
restrained rather than encouraged by
some government regulations. Only a
large. mature company with an extensive

 

legal staff can cope with regulations, they
say.

One of the most frequent complaints
from small-business men concerns the
reams ofpaperwork with which they must
contend, sometimes spending hours on
chores that should have been devoted to

more productive tasks.

IN THE capital markets, where
regulations proliferate, only a few small,
aggressive. innovative companies have
been financed in recent months. Without
the competition of such entrepreneurial
enterprises. the critics say, the existing
companies can afford to be less efficient
than they were.

be operational within a week," he
said. 80 had a similar project
year before last. he said. An
attempt by Free University to put

valuable service to students,"
Mucci said, “and possibly make a
profit."

New student

convocation
cancelled

The annual convocation for
freshmen to meet with the
University President was
cancelled this year due to a lack
of interest.

The convocations had provided
an opportunity for entering
students to get acquainted with
President Otis A, Singletary and
the administration.

Donald B. Clapp. executive
assistant to the president said the
reason for the cancellation was
“lack of interest" on the
students' part

There has been no attempt to
find an alternative way for
students to meet the
administration. Clapp said.

However, he added, through
existing organizations.
orientation programs and
informal meetings, Singletary
has been able to meet new
students.

the low 505 tonight. The

Democratic Senate in the November election. reaffirmed his
support of the project.

Ford reaffirms dam position

(‘ontinued from page I

”He walked down where the
white water is, down in the upper
region." Ford said. “The site of
the dam is up much further."

(HUK HAS supported the dam
since he first ran for the Senate.
Ford said. and in January 1974
(‘ook cast two votes in the Senate
lll favor of building the dam.

Ford‘s speech was not met with
approval by all. although he
received a rousing standing
ovation at its conclusion. Kathy
Keller. a member of the Red
River Defense Fund did not hear
the speech but disagreed with it‘s
content when contacted later.

"Whenever you dam a
treeflowing river you‘re going to
destroy something." said Keller.
"Ford‘s statement doesn‘t hold
water when you consider the

damage which will be done to the
upper gorge area."

 

DOC SEVERINSEN

TIII‘I GOVERNOR'S steadfast
position will not give him many
votes in the Lexington area both
by his account and that of his
supporters.

Democratic State Senator Mike
Moloney, of the 79th district. is
opposed to the dam but still
supports Ford. He feels.
however. the issue may prove to
be a touchstone as the campaign
progresses.

“I think at least here in Central
Kentucky the dam is the main
issue." Moloneysaid. “I also feel
it is a lot bigger than the Ford
campaign people seem to think
Maybe it‘s because I hear and
read about it everyday and my
law partner t()scar Geralds Jr.)
has filed suit against it.

“Bl‘Tl think it‘s a symbol to
the people to the extent that
people that don‘t see it can still
say ‘no‘ and feel they are striking

a blow against big government,”
Moloney said. “It’s a
philosophical thing.“

Approximately 20
protesting the proposed dam
stood outside the local
Democratic Party Headquarters
waiting for Ford‘s arrival. Many
of them carried signs saying
”Stop Ford's Fjord“ and “Gov.
Ford— Champion of Insensitivity
to the Environment.“ One
protestor brought a steel barrel
with dollarsigns painted on it and
the word “pork“ written along
the side. “It symbolizes the
politics of the Red River Dam.“
the unidentified creator
explained. “Wendell Ford‘s Pork
Barrel Politics."

Even the Governor faced the
inevitable at the conclusion of his
speech. “I would like say we will
have a delusion of the votes we
normally get in Lexington." he
said.
