Singletary watches campus temperature

By JACK KOENEMAN
Associate Editor

Most people don’t take the opportunity to
visit the University president’s office.Per-
haps they’re awed by the mystique and
never make an attempt.

My visit begins with a walk to the
Administration Building, the University’s
counterpart of the Executive Office Build-
ing in Washington, DC. Up the broad
stairs and down the hall to the right,
there’s a door with carpet runner, flanked
by potted palms. The door is differentiated
from others by a simple black plate —
“President.”

In the office behind the simple black
plate there are three secretaries. There
are also a lot of books; books on black
education, biolgraphies of former Univer-
sity presidents and books on Appalachian
studies.

All the padding has been pushed to the
back of the seats on the office chairs
forcing visitors to sit on an incline.

K Personality;

Sitting in an uncomfortable chair and
scribbling furiously in my notebook about
the surroundings, I caught my first
glimpse of Dr. Otis A. Singletary at work.
Hewas talking to his administrative aide,
Ann Wilson. They were bantering back and
forth about making appointments with a
variety of people to “take their tempera-
tures”

Suddenly the conversation with Wilson
ended and Singletary motioned me into his
office.

The walk to Singletary's private office is
aweinspiring. The man has his own
private bathroom. My mind, ticking away,
is tallying up all the years of work he has

 

lunch. We had a choice when we came
here, whether or not to live on campus. We
picked it because we thought we’d like it
and we do.”

Great, he likes campus. But, “how has it
changed since you came here?” I said.

“There have been massive changes of
course,” Singletary said. “It’s grown
considerably in outlook and attitude. I’d
say it’s more pleasant now than it was in
the beginning.”

When Singletary came to UK, the
campus was embroiled in Vietnam war
protests and general upheaval. Shortly
after he arrived the old ROTC building was
destroyed in a “riot.”

"Ihe attitude was different in the

beginning,” Singletary said. “There were
bad tensions stemming from real prob-
lems. Some people thought I was too hard
on the demonstrators. Others thought I
wasn’t hard enough.

“My thought was that I wasn’t going to
let anyone take over the University. When
one group gets out of hand, the others feel
they have to get out of hand, too,” he said.

Singletary has developed a philosophy
on how to keep his perspective.

“It’s the kind of job where you have to
live with the fact that you do less than you
would like to,” he said. “There are lots of
different interest groups that have differ-
ent ideas as to what the University should
be.

Library Lounge
cited by ABC

By STEVE BALLINGER
Kernel Staff Writer

The Library Lounge, a restaurant-
disootheque, has been temporarily closed
by the Lexington Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) for rule violations.

The Library, 338 Woodland Avenue in
the University Plaza Shopping Center, will
beclosed Monday, Aug. 4 for violations

, cited on July 15.

According to Stephen Driesler,

Lexington ABC director, the Library broke

regilations by serving overly intoxicated
customers and allowing others to leave the
building with drinks.

D'iesler said the Library will be

placed, on a 14—day probational period

ending Aug. 18 beCause of the violations.

In response to the ABC action, Library
owner Bill Taylor said a security guard
will work night duty in the Library parking
lot.

 

“It’s the first time we’ve had this
prdilem in two years,” Taylor said. He
refused to comment on the alleged
violations saying “it’s a complex

lbegan to hear the strains of a distant
flute. At first it seemed like the typical
murak in many campus offices, but then it
began to come from the walls.

The first interview question was de-
signed to be disarming enough to catch
Singletary offguard.

“What‘s it like living amongst 20,000
people who at times cut across your
backyard on their way to class,“ I said.

“Well," he said, with a smile, “for other
people it might not be so good. I like
campus and my family likes campus. We
lik: to see students cutting across the
yard.“

At this point I just melted like putty in
his hands. I think it was the smile that did
it. The flute went through a phantasma-
gorical glissando and I could see the faint
impressions of angels sitting at his right
hand.

“I think my relationship around here is
pretty good," he said. Nobody wants to sit
aromd and play Lord. All in all, I’ye been
right pleased with the place.

”The students seem to be respecting our
privacy," he said. “Maxwell Place is a
fine old home. It’s convenient to campus
and most days I even get to go home to

town. See related story on page 4.

Campus housing tilled;

downtown hotels available

By WALTER HIXSON
Assistant Managing Editor

Students will get special monthly rental
rates at two downtown hotels this fall
because of a campus housing shortage.

The Phoenix Hotel and the University
Inn. both on East Main Street, will be able
to house some of the 705 students on the
waiting list for University dormitories.

Larry Ivy, housing director, says more
students are seeking University housing
because of the economy.

“Dormitories are cheaper, more con-
venient and students know what they will
be paying in advance,” Ivy said.

The number of students seeking dorm
space, including 367 incoming freshmen, is
the largest ever recorded this time of year.
Ivy said. Also contributing to the increase
in housing applications is an expected
enrollment increase of up to 800 students,
according to Larry Craft, associate dean
of admissions and registrar. He said

enrollment statistics for the fall semester
are not available.

Ralph Harrell, Phoenix Hotel manager,
said he would “like to fill 40 to 50 rooms
with UK students." The rooms include
television and maid service and cost $150
per month for two students, Harrell said.

University Inn manager Hank Shuford
said his hotel is offering a variety of
accommodations at different rates. A
room for two, with television and maid
services, averages about $200 a month
Schuford said. Normally the University
Inn has no monthly rates, he added.

The University is including the names of
the two hotels on its monthly offcampus
housing list. Although the University will
ask hotel managers for a written pledge of
nondiscrimination in renting to students,
all other arrangements will be made by
the hotels and students, said Joe Burch,
acting dean of students.

situation.”

Gary Stingle, who operates Stingle’s Bar
on Euclid Avenue, said the one-day closing
of the Library “hurt all of us. When one
bar gets closed, we all suffer. I’m glad
they didn’t get anything more on them."
he added.

Stingle said he is concerned about
minors with false identification buying
drinks. He said that Lexington bars are
checking I.D.'s very closely to avoid
offenses.

“We’re not trying to harass them,"
Stingle said. “We just want to make sure
they’re over 21."

Until about a year ago, Driesler said
ABC’s policy was to have officers check
bars on a reular basis. Under this
procedure, the discovery of violations
“was a hit or miss thing,“ he said.

The citations given to the Library were a
reaction to complaints the police have
received from nearby residents, Dreisler
said.

Metro Police Patrolman J. Dever said
the department has received 25-30 com-
plaints about the Library in the last two
mmths. Residents complained of people
fighting, making too much noise, and
parking in their driveways, Dever said.

Carl Perkins’ humility act
would bomb on Broadway

Rep. Carl Perkins exposed a sur-
prising alter-ego in a recent letter to
Student Government (SG)—that of a
meek and mild-mannered congress-
man with little to say about the Red
River Dam.

The Kentucky congressman de-
clined SG’s request to speak at a
forum on the dam next semester. His
letter to 56 Vice President Glenn
Stith reeked of humility.

"Although I do strongly support

construction of the project l can

claim no expertise on the subject

beyond long familiarity with the need
for it and the frequently expressed
wishes of the people of Powell
County,” Perkins wrote.

This is pretty mind-boggling stuff
from the man who has single-
handedly kept funding for the dam in
congressional appropriations
budgets. His self~proclaimed lack of

”expertise” is a real surprise to those

who have watched his skill in out-
maneuvering dam opponents in
Congress.

Pei kins also declined to send a
surrogate from his congressional
staff to fill in at the SG forum because
they know less about the dam than he
does. One has to wonder about who is
actually doing the homework that
keeps the Red River Dam issue alive.

Perkins told a Kernel reporter
Thursday the main reason he couldn’t
come to Lexington for a debate on the
dam was a busy schedule which
leaves little time for such excursions.
That’s too bad. Scrutinizing questions
by a campus audience might» have
given us an inkling of what makes
Perkins behave the way he does.

For example, what makes Perkins
think a dam in Powell County would
be in the best interest of its citizens?

Protection from flooding of the Red
River is a legitimate concern for

Powell Countians. But alternatives to .
the $30 million dam such as inexpen- '

sive levees or floodwalls (which
would be infinitely less destructive to

dam will
average citizen’s.
The Red River Dam issue is bound

to heat up on many fronts very soon. A
Federal District Court hearing in
September on an injunction to stop the
dam will add to the tension generated
by the impending GAO results.
Whether Carl Perkins shows up to
debate the merits of the dam at a SG
forum is of minor significance. But
the underlying implications of his
_ "modesty" about hs role in the Dam
drama is interesting. Political double-
talk by pork barrel politicians may be
reason an environmental
albatross like the Red River Dam can
come so close to reality.

the scenic Red River Gorge) haven’t
been considered seriouslv.

When Perkins talks of his concern
for the farmlands of the Red River
valley he’s obviously neglected the
families who would have to sacrifice
their property because of the inunda-
tion of the gorge.

The water supply argument
propounded by Perkins and the Army
of Engineers is equally
preposterous. The mayors of 12 cities
which supposedly would benefit from
the dam have stated they don’t want
or need water from a Red River Dam
reservoir.

The cost-benefit ratio used by the
probably presents more
questions than Rep. Perkins or any
other dam supporter could take a stab
at answering. The ratio is based on
flimsy evidence of projected recrea-
tion benefits to be accrued from dam
construction. Maybe the developers
who have lapped up land around the
projected lake are the Powell County
citizens Perkins listens to so-closely.

A long-awaited General Accounting
Office (GAO) study on the dam is
expected to come out next week which
will more than likely answer these
questions and confirm many sus-
picions. Its findings will bear heavily
on the thinking of Gov. Julian Carroll,
whose yet unvoiced opinion on the
weigh more than the

Women in the pulpit?

’In the re-creation of Christ’s sacrifice

 

By John Dews

 

For almost a decade now the Episco-
pal Church has been involved in a
controversy over the ordination of
women. Reams of literature has been
devoted to the subiect by both sides.
Much of it is ridiculous, much is not, but
won examining it the conservative
case may be clearly deduced.

Simply stated it is this. Socially and
culturally speaking there is no reason
why women should not be admitted to
the preisthood. Equality of the sexes is
a Christian tradition as old as Saint
Paul, who declared, ”There is neither
male nor female...in Christ.“ The
reasonthen that female ordination is so
violently opposed by some churchmen
is a theological one.

lt is uncontrovertably true that when
Jesus chose his diciples he chose twelve
men. Advocates of the women’s posi-
tion would claim that his choice was
culturally inspired. This is to be
doubted. Throughout his ministry Jesus
defied the social conventions of his day.
This can be seen by his condemnation of
the death penalty for adultery, his
opposition of the code of the Pharisees,
and his submissive attitude toward the
Hebrew’s Roman oppressors. He sim-
ply did not consider these conventions
important. it may then be logically
inferred that from a purely social
standpoint he might iust as easily have
adnitted women to the sacerdotal
function if he had seen fit. He did not,
and the disciples were exclusively
male.

The reason for this lies in the
theological nature of the priesthood.
There is but one true priest and that is
Christ. A priest dispensing the sacra-
ments is merely a surrogate for the true
priest. It is only appropriate that this
surrogate be male. Christ is character-
ized as the Bridegroom, a definite male
symbol. Through his sacrifice of him-
self he frees his Bride, the church. The
parallel between this and the act of
procreation is obvious. Thus in the
re —creation of Christ’s sacrifice the
proper Officiant is male. Just as a
female cannot play the male role in the
sex act, so she cannot validly perform
the sacerdotal function in the admini-
stration of the sacraments.

The spirituality of humankind is quite
as basic as it’s sexuality. If the church
is taken to be the guardian of human
spirituality then it may assume for
itself certain unalterable truths.
Among these is a male priesthood, the
only sort of priesthood that is theologic
ally valid.

 

the proper Officiant is male’

 

 

Construction by Jean-Claude Snares

This does not imply any sort of
inferiority in women. To say that it does
is as foolish as declaring the female
role in procreation to be so. It is not a
question of superiority or inferiority, it
is a question of difference. Try as they
will women cannot remove these
differences.

The issue of women in the priesthood
is not a social or cultural issue, for the
church is not merely a social or cultural
institution. The church has preserved

 

it’s basic fabric through two thousand
years of tumultuous social change. it
was created but once. it has remained
basically the same since it’s creation.
True there is room for change and
improvement, but the fabric must
remain the same. To ordain women to
the priesthood cuts at the very founda-
tions of the historical continuity of the
church.

These arguments,‘ot course, are not
enough to satisfy the issue, and in
fairness it must be said that the role of

women in the church is maddeningly
ambiguous. This is a situation which
should and will be rectified. Women
should certainly be allowed to seek
vocations as clerics, however priest-
hood like fatherhood must remain a
male function.

Pralltown housing study
may lead to rehabilitation

By MONTY N. FOLEY
Kernel Staff Writer

A study of the deteriorated
Pralltown area may represent
the last hope of adequate housing
for approximately 50 Lexington
families.

UK architecture Prof. Alfred
H. Koetter will conduct the $4,352
study for the Urban County
Council. The study will attempt to
determine the economic feasabil—
ity of providing low-income hous—
ing for Pralltown which is located
west of campus, bounded by Scott
Street and Virginia Avenue.

“We will give our first presen—
tation of the study to the Urban
County Council late in August,"
Koetter said.

The urban renewal study is one
of many conducted for Pralltown
inthe last decade. However, none
have led to rehabilitation of
housing there so far.

“I believe the other studies
should have been more thorough-
ly evaluated before nearly $5,000
was provided for the current
study," said Third District
Councilman Joe Jasper, who cast
the only vote opposing the
Koetter evaluation.

But Dennis P. Carrigan,
Lexington Parks, Housing and
Urban Development commis-
sioner. supports the current
study.

Past urban renewal studies
were part of a process aiming for
total demolition of substandard
housing, Carrigan said. “We
want to take a fundamentally
different approach,” he said,

referring to the Koetter study.
“Vi” don't want to destroy (hous-
ing), but rather to rehabilitate if
possible."

Bill Bingham, president of the
Pralltown Development Corp.,
which functions as a neighbor-
hood association, said previous
rehabilitation projects failed
because “money was tight."

As a result of the economic
situation, Bingham said. the
Lexington urban renewal agency
couldn't persuade private con-
tractors to build on the five
Pralltown acres already cleared
by urban renewal.

“The neighborhood is run-down
and its present condition will not
allow it to remain in existence,“
Bingham said. “Being that close
to the University and hospitals, it
isprime land and a lot of private
investors would like to get their
hands on it.”

Bingham said Pralltown is seen
by some contractors as an ideal
spot for construction of student—
oriented apartments.

In fact, Bingham said, the
University now owns some land
in Pralltown. However, in a
recent meeting. UK President
Otis Singletary assured Bingham

if feasible plans develop for
low-income Pralltown housrng,
the University would make its
property available for construc-
tion of family units, according to
Bingham.

George Ruschell, assistant
vice-president for business
affairs, said the University owns
about 20 per cent of the Pralltown
area. Ruschell said he wasnt
present at the meeting between
Singletary and Bingham but said,
“the Pralltown area is not in the
University’s campus develop—
ment plan."

“We haven’t bought any
property over there for several
years," Ruschell said. “We don‘t
have any plans to buy any."

Bingham was critical of past
urban renewal projects in which
housing units would have sold for
$23,000 or rented for $160-$185 per
month. Such costs would be
prohibitive for Pralltown
residents, Bingham said.

If a feasible housing rehabili-
tation plan develops in Pralltown,
wrrk should be done in phases in
order to prevent, total temporary
relocation of residents, Bingham
said.

Red River Dam

Rep. Perkins refuses
56 offer to discuss dam

By FRANKLIN RENFRO
Kernel Staff Writer

Rep. Carl Perkins (D-Ky.) has
declined a Student Government
(SG) request to participate in a
forum discussion on the Red
River Dam this fall.

Perkins is the primary con-
gressional backer of the contro-
versial $30 million dam project,
currently at a standstill because
of a May 7 restraining order
halting construction.

In a letter to SG Vice President
Glenn Stith, Perkins said,
“Although I do strongly support
construction of the project, I can
claim no expertise on the subject
beyond long familiarity with the
need for it and the frequently
expressed wishes of the people of
Powell County.

“For this reason I must res—
pectfully decline to serve as a
panelist. It seems that someone
who lives in the area would be a
more appropriate spokesman in a
forum such as yours.“ Perkins
wrote.

A member of the Red River
Defense Fund (RRDF), Jerry
Thornton said, “If Perkins
doesn’t have any expertise on the
subject, then why is he pushing it
so strongly?“

“I would be perfectly glad to
come to the UK campus,"
Perkins said in a telephone
interview Thursday. “I would
love to tell the students the
history of flooding of the land
dating way back, but my sche—

  

l I ("Ch
Of
_.dm.~°'

 

 

Birth defects are forever
unless you help. /

dule does not permit me to
come."

Perkins said he knew of no
representative to send to the
forum who knew anything about
the issue.

A possible replacement for
Perkins in the panel discussion
would be a Powell County repre-
sentative equally in favor of the
dam, SG President Jim
Harralson said. (Powell County
is the site of the proposed Army
Corps of Engineers project.)

“Nobody has done more than
Carl Perkins in acquiring more
land along the Red River through
federal assistance,” Perkins
said. “The dam will not affect the
scenic gorge and I would like to
tell the students that, but I just
dcn’t have the time.”

'Ihornton said Perkins favored
any kind of “pork barrel" project
for his district no matter what
effect it has on the rest of the
state or the country.

“This is not an important
matter to lend his (Perkins‘)
time to," said Linda Welch,
another RRDF member. “His
only expertise is politics, as far
as I’m concerned."

A report on the Red River

’ project. requested last year by

then-Sen. Marlow Cook (R-Ky.),
will be released next week by the
General Accounting Office.

A federal court hearing has
been scheduled Sept. 3 in
{Anisville on the temporary
injunction to stop the project.

‘Bite the Bullet’ evaluates
traditional American values

By DAVID MlTCl
Kernel Staff Writer

Bite the Bullet. now playing at
the Crossroads Cinema II, is
billed as a film classic of the
scope of Shane and High Noon. It
isn‘t, however, a mildly enter—
taining film that attempts an
evaluation of traditional Ameri—
can values.

The film centers around the
participants in a 1906 700 mile
endurance race. The stakes in-
volve a $2,000 winner-take-all
purse and the promise of future
fame and fortune.

Gene Hackman plays with
finesse the film’s lead, a cowhand
named Clayton. At the film‘s
outset, Clayton rejects the Amer-
ican ideal of success and is
content to enjoy the simple things
in life.

Later, he begins to find the race
alluring and finally enters the

competition. He at first takes the

event leisurely, often stopping to
aid competitors experiencing
misfortune.

In the final moments of the
race, Clayton earnestly seeks to
win, yet the ordeal forces him to
embrace his original beliefs.

Accompanying Clayton in the
race are an assorted group of
stereotyped characters. The

Review

actors‘ performances however
prevent the roles from becoming
hackneyed.

James Coburn, as Luke,
Clayton's cowpunching friend,
gives his usual charming per-
formance as a gambler who is
anxious to enjoy the good life the
prize money will bring.

Jan-MichaelVincent plays the
smart-ass kid who gets his come—

uppanee.

Candice Bergen is a prostitute
with a heart of gold out to help
her man in prison.

Ben Johnson is an aging cow-
boy who risks a stroke to gain a
success that has always eluded
him.

A sporting Englishman and a
poor Mexican farmer are thrown
in for good measure. The charac-
ters succeed in bringing life to the
story.

The craftsmanship displayed
by director Richard Brooks in in
Cold Blood. and The Profes—
sionals is also present here.
However, Brooks’ handling of the
race scenes at times lacks the
suspense of his other films and
many run too long.

By no means a great film, Bite
the Bullet's story line and exami-
nation of an American ideal
make it an interesting movie.

SCB makes tall plans

Arts,Cralts Center to be created...

 

Anew Arts and Crafts Center will be located in
the Student Center this coming year. Renovation
on the room on the first floor across from the
barber shop will begin Oct. 1, Sharon Horst-
meyer, program advisor for the Student Center
Board (SCB) said today.

Besides these initial plans to create the center,
other plans for it aren’t definite yet, she said.

Since the exact function of the center has not
been decided, Horstmeyer stressed that student
interest is imperative at this point. The major
decisions will be made after student input.

Although these are only tenative ideas. the
center will probably serve as a workshop.
Horstmeyer said. Students will be able to do
their arts and crafts work, possibly take lessons
and buy supplies there. The program may also
rely on volunteer staffing, she added.

Plans for this center have been in the making
for some three years, she said.

Now that the project has started, Horstmeyer
urges students to come by the SCB office to offer

any ideas on how the program might be
conducted.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is coming

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will perform two
mini-concerts in the Student Center Ballroom on
Sept. 12 at 7 pm. and 9:30 p.m., Tom Wheeler,
SCB mini-concert committee chairman, an-
nounced today.

Famous for their lively concerts, the Nitty
Gritty Dirt Band plays all kinds of music from
bluegrass to rock and roll. The group formed in
1966 and has played together ever since.

Although it has had its share of hits, the band is
better known for its shows and its instrumental
versatility. One member of the band, John
Mchen, plays fiddle, banjo, dulcimer and bass
and steel guitar.

Tickets for this country-rock entertainment
are $4 each and may be purchased in the Student
Center ticket office after Sept. 1.
