A UK student who was the

r of an Army drug and

alcohol abue assistance center in

Hanan, West Germany says the

Army’sEuropeandrugand alchohol
rehabilitation program is a "farce.”

As me who came to know the
problem wen, Jeff Reinhardt, a
freshman engineering major, said
his own experience convinced him of
the Army’s ineptncss in handing
thug and alcohol cases.

Workim for a Community Drug
and Alcohol Assisstance Center,
then-Sergeant Reinhardt says he
saw very little evidence that the
Army was truly dedicated to
rehabilitating drug and alcohol
abmers.

The CDAAC was designed to
identify and counsel soldiers with

them to Army physi '.cians Of the
small staff which ran CDAAC during
Reinhardt’s tenure, only one person
a behavioral science specialist, was
actually qualified to carry out the
center’s duties, he said.

The remaining members of
Reinhardt’ s crew had backgrounds
as textile repairman finance
specialist, radio teletype opaator
and wheeled vehicle operator.
Reinhardt hinself was originally
trained to be a missile systems
repairman. '

The ex-GI explained how he was
transplanted into the job after 16
weeks and “317, 000 worth of
training" in his original field.

“Our company was ovestrength.
We had 70 people when we only
needed 10 so I was doing things like
painting trucks and guarding gates.

“One night this lieutenant saw me

specialist.”

Since the new unit was alien to
Reinhardt’ s previous training, he
had to learn the ropes all we again,
indicts-mating himself with CDAAC
rules and regulations.

Turnover in the CDAAC init was
high. “Everybody in the CDAAC
was considered a dud, ” he lamen-
ted. “We later put two of our own
workers on the program.”

Once in charge of the operation,
Reinhardt began recruiting coun-
selors from the Hanan area. That’s
when he came up with the truck
drive, the pay clerk and the others
whif)f composed his motley counseling

rationale. “The textile repairman
had a degree in psychology."

Even though his counselors
weren’t trained, Reinhardt's Hanau
CDAAC was later comidered to be
Army’s best CDAAC unit in Europe.

Reinhardt explained how CDAAC
referrals worked. “If a man wanted
to refer himself, he‘d come to us for
counseling and we‘d refer him af-
terwards to a doctor. The doctor
read the commander’s and the
counselor’s recommendation and
then made a decision.”

The decision, of course, was
whether or not the soldier was fit for
further duty. If he or she wasn’t, a
discharge would be ready in at least
a month.

Reinhardt said soldiers were also
referred to CDAAC by their com-
manders. Referrals had to be based
on actual abuse by the individual or

by reasonable suspicion. Suspicion
amounted to “hanging around with
known or suspected users, tracks,
drowsiness or physical in-
toxication," according to Reinhardt.

He said the problem of alcoholism
was shared by all ages and ranks of
soldiers and that drinking problems
were often concealed until they were
irreparable.

“The military is very. very into
alcohol,” Reinhardt declared. “The
guys carry two canteens — one for
water and one for wine.”

He said that the present com-
mander of Army troops in Europe
had wrought strict policies against
alcohol.

Drug abusers, said Reinhardt,
were easier to stereotype. “They
were generally under 26, under the
ranks of E-5 (Specialist Five or
Sergeant) and E45 (Specialist Six or
Staff Sergeant).”

Reinhardt said he and some fr1ends

UK's CBD helps
small business

This is the first in a three-part series
on small business development and
UK’s Center For Business
Development. Tomorrow’s story
will focus on red tape problems
encountered by small businessmen.

By CHRIS BLAIR
Kernel Reporter

Throughout the United States,
programs are being developed to
aide small businesses. UK’ 3 Center
For Business Development has
guided a broad range of independent
businesses through a whirlwind of
operating pressures for the past ten
years.

There are presently 18 business
development centers in the nation
and four more are in the creation
stage. CBD which is funded by the
Economic Development Ad-
ministration and UK, is staffed with
six general manager consultants
who work on a oneon- one basis with
clients in assigned geographical
areas across Kentucky.

Victor Mondelli Jr., owner of
Mondelli’s Bakery, located at 1485
Alexandria Drive, came to CBD in
January, 1976 when he first decided
to 0pm his bakery. Mondelli has
since added two outlets. His
bisiness‘ success is exemplary of
the free services CBD can provide.

According to Mondelli, the work
involved in starting a bisiness was
so diverse that he needed
professional assistance even though
he had previous bakery experience.
Until six years ago Mondelli s
father successfully operated Cont-
trell Bakery in Lexington.

“Without help from the people at
UK l wouldn‘t have known where to
begin,’ said Mondelli “They helped
me with forms and loan ap-
plications “ he said

Associate Director of the Center

 

for Professmnal and Executive
Developement. William E. Younk,
was the CBD consultant for Mondelli
two years ago. "The first thing 1 did
was research ~ to learn everything
about the bakery business.“ Younk
said.

Initially, Younk’s job involves
identifying the hurdles that iriay
await the prospective businessman.
The preparation plan focuses on
determining whether the city could
support another business of that
type. Younk said the calculation is
made by weighing the size of the city
against the number of similar
bminesses in current operation.

if the results show the city can
support the btsiness, an affordable
location is chosen on the basis of
consumer demand Equipment t01
the business must match building
space, production output and the
buyer‘ 5 financial capabilities

A lack of financial stability or the
inability to secure bank financing
may force some small business
owners to make do with out- modr d
equipement or a building that is too
small. Younk said.

Out-of-staters suffer

Effects of tuition hike
could be far-reaching

Public universities across the nation have been
faced with increased costs and tightening
budgets, and student tuition increases seem to be
the easiest way to help close the gap in funding.
It looks as though UK will get the chance to find
out if that is so.

Recently, the State Council on Higher
Education’s Finance Committee recommended
UK raise 'ts out-of-state tuition by $150 per
semester. Such an increase would bring tuition
for out-of-state students to $900 a semester.
Because of the Committee’s recommendation,
many UK studmts have suddenly found them-
selves faced with an additional $300 a year in
expenses, beginn'ng next semester.

If the Finance Committee insists on a tuition
hike, perhaps it could be accomplished
gradually. A small increase ova- a series of five
years might blunt the impact of that $300 boost,
thereby easing somewhat the immediate
financial worries of those students.

In the future, it should be the policy of the
Finance Committee to make its review and
proposals of tuition hikes in the fall semester.
This is the second time in two years a tuition

Flamenco dancers?

proposal has been made after the date when
students may normally apply for transfer to
other universities.

Finally, the tuition increase should exclude
out-of-state students who have completed at
least half of their hours needed for a degree.
Those students should only pay actual cost in-
creases, which would also be paid by in-state
students.

At Indiana University, tuition is paid on a per
credit hour basis, costing in-state students an
average of $324 and out-of-state students $792 for
a 12-hour semester. However, University of
Tennessee students pay an equivalent of $247 per
semester for in-state students and $716 for out-of-
state. UT’s student body is more than 13 percent
out-of-state students, IU has less than four
percent. UK falls somewhere in the middle with
six percent.

A good mix of local and out-of-state students is
essential to a well-balanced student body and a
culturally vaired atmosphere. The State Council
should consider carefully the possibly far-
reach'ng effects if it’s Finance Committee’s
recommendation before acting on it.

Now there was a party

So you think that your dorm or house gives
great parties, eh? Well, no matter how many
kegs you have or how many people come, your
bash can’t begin to match the one that Yale
senior Alex Kwon planned.

The son of a Korean bisinessman, Kwon in-
vited 1,000 guests to his Roaring Twenties party,
which would have featured drinking, gambling
and; most kinds of carousing‘ known to
civilization Among other things, Kwon’s
planned for:

Two truckloads of champagne, Amaretto and
Heineken on tap.

Ten Japanese chefs to prepare roast pig,
lobster and caviar.

Two flamenco dancers, a 13-piece orchestra, a
rock band, a comedian, a magician and a
showing of Casino Royale for entertainment.

Ten thousand bogus French 500 franc notes
were printed, six blackjack tables and four
baccarat tables were ordered from New York.

The biggest gambling winners would receive a
Mercedes or Cadillac, and there would be a
beauty contest with a Bahamas vacation for two
as prize.

Unfortunately, -'Kwon’s parents heard of the
plans and convey eir displeasure to him. He
canceled the party, “eating” a considerable loss
for unised food. Kwon said he only intended the
event as a goodbye gesture to his frients, saying
he didn’t expect all the attention for it.

Maybe the tables have 'i'rned. In the past,
Americans were the ones ‘W- made con-
descending, extravagant gestures. But with the
declining dollar, and rich Arab sheiks and
Korean merchants moving to the US, there
may soon be bodrs titled The Ugly Korean.

Cries of “Down with Shah,”
“Down with the fascist regime" and
“Yankee go home" are being heard
all over Iran. People of all classes,
from factories, villages and mud
huts are crying. People in high
schools and universities. People who
are no longe' putting up with the
Shah of Iran’s fascist regime and the
United States’ domination of their
country.

The most recent people's
uprisings began on Mar. 29, com-
memorating the 40th day of mass
uprising in Tabriz (a city in northern
Iran), and they continue to spread.

People have taken to the streets in
Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, Qum and
Abadan, among other cities,
destroying everything that might
symbolize the regime like banks,
police headquarters, SAVAK offices

Thousands of political prisoners
went on a hunger strike on Mar. 15.

 

comment

 

The caises of the struggle of the
Iranian pmple are the political and
economic crises in Iran. For years,
Western monopolies, particularly
American corporations, have
brutally exploited the Iranian
people, plundered their natural
resources and savagely suppressed
the Iranian people’s every effort on
behalf of democracy and in-
dependence.

Slogans calling for the overthrow
of fascism and imperialism are

toward this end. In Tabriz, 200,000
enraged people stormed the
headquarters of the Shah’s fascist
party, the Rastakhiz. They
systematically destroyed 73 foreign
banks, hundreds of police cars, US.
Army jeeps, etc.

The Shah is trying to stop the
struggle by resorting to more and
more brutality. The Shah’s police
and armed forces are trying to
drown the rage of the people in
blood. They gunned down 500 people
in Qum, and hundreds more in
Tabriz were arrested and thrown in
the SAVAK dungeons to be tortured.

On Apr. 12, Adm. Stansfield
Turner, head of the CIA, will speak
in Lexington at the UK Student
Center. All of the crimes committed
against the Iranian purple by the

common. but serve only to un- Shah’s regime are supported and

The Organization of Irar'iianw

Moslem Students has been informed
that political prisoners in Iran have
staged a hunger strike, protesting
the difficult conditions and inhuman
treatment prevailing in the Shah’s
prisons. As part of their strike they
have also declined to accept visitors.

These acts of protest are a con-
tinuation of their heroic resistance
under the most inhuman tortures

Shah

1957, the CIA created SAVAK, the
Shah‘s secret police force, which has
been responsible for the arrest and
torture of 100,000 political prisoners.
The Internation Commission of
.lurists, on May 23, 1976, reported
that SAVAK is “expertly trained by
the US. CIA.“

While the Shah has resorted to
fascism. the US. government has
been making moves to protect its
puppet‘s tottering rule. During the
Tabriz uprising, the US. Seventh
Fleet was put on alert in the Persian
Gulf. On Mar. 30, Knight-Kidder
newspapers reported that President
Carter has ordered the creation of
an elite military strike force
designed to intervene in, among
other places, the Persian Gulf.

The American government is
helping the Shah, and at the same
trying to whitewash the face of his
bloodthirsty regime. The freedom
loving American people realize that
what the government is doing is not
in their interest. but in the interest of
the big corporations. The givern-
ment does not protect the interests
of the American people. but instead
sends them to war, to die protecting
US. corporate interests.

We urge you to take the side of the
Iranian people in their struggle for
freedom and indepmdence. We urge
you to condemn US. involvement in
Iran. The Shah has killed or arrested
thousandsof Iran ian patriots in past
months.

The lranian Student Association
will have a demonstration at 12 noon
on Apr. 12. on the patio of the Student
Center. We will have a picket line
that evening at 6:30, also at the
Student Center. We invite you to join
us in our struggle.

comment

 

The Shah’s puppet regime, which
has long been known as one of the
most repressive regimes in the
world, is now fully exposed and
isolated, both internationally and
domestically. This U.S.-backed
regime lacks any kind of popular
support and rules through military
force and secret police operations.
In addition to ageold methods of
terror and repression, this hated
regime has recently resorted to
public massacres at people’s
demonstrations, including the
massacres of Moslem-led demon-
strations in Qum on Jan. 11 and
Tabriz on Feb. 18 and 19.

These acts of inhuman brutality,
systematic repression and piblic
massacre represent the true nature
of the Shah’s regime. The govem-
ment that supports the Shah’s
regime is directly involved in all
these atrocities. And, interestingly
enough, it was amidst such bloody
and shameless violations of human
rights that President Carter lauded
the Shah for “being deeply con-
cerned about human rights, and in
some aspects of human rights Iran
has experienced considerable

inhuman’

progress over the last. 20‘ years.”
(Washington Post, Jan. 11, 1978)
Carter’s comment shows the
demagogical nature of his “human
rights" campaign.

The abundance of oil and other
mineral resources, and other
economic interests of American
imperialists in Iran, as well as the
Shah's watchdog role in the Gulf and
Middle East regions, are among the
main reasons behind the United
States‘ full-fledged support of the
shah.

Yet, despite all forms of terror and
repression, the people's
revolutionary movement as a whole
and the Islamic movement in par-
ticular is rapidly expanding and
gaining strength. The Shah’s
desperate resort to force is a clear
indication of the movement’s
strength.

In line with our commitment to the
just struggle of the Iranian people as
a whole, and Moslems in particular,
and our responsibility to expose the
Shah's regime, we, the Organization
of Iranian Moslem Students,
resolutely support the heroic
resistance of the political prisoners
and ask all militant and progressive
forces and all freedom-loving people
to raise their voices against the
ongoing repression in Iran. Con-
demn and expose the Shah's fascist
regime and American involvement
in Iran.

'The only way to fly’

What a story

Two weeks ago in this space
I related— and rather
smugly, I‘m told—some a
my impressions of Florida
and my spring vacation. In
looking back at that peice, I
have recently been forced to
agree with those among my
detractors who called the
peice “elitist,” “snobbish”
and “egotstic.”

.chafles

 
 

main

It was, I‘ll admit, a pretty
smug peice: Poor boy goes to
Florida and lives rich life for
a few days, comes home with
larger hat size. I was a litle
full of myself, I guess.

Well, in order to show that
my heart is in the right place,
I have decided to give equal
time here to two men who
think their Spring Break
experience with Florida is
worth telling.

Greg Scarboro and Jan
Chamblis left their Linden
Walk apartment on foot at 4
am. on Monday of Spring
Break, and started walking
out Euclid toward I-75.
Between them, they had two
suitcases and about $40.

“The sun was just coming
up when we got to the in-
terstate," Scarboro said, “so
we put down our suitcases, lit
up a joint and stuck out our
thumbs.” According to the
two, they had decided to go to
Florida “sometime over the
weekend"

“We just decided we were
going to go. Neither one of us
had a car we could drive, and
we’d hitchhiked places

' before—you know. to

Louisville and like that — so
we just took off.“

Scarboro "said the two didn’t
have to wait long before “two
guys in an old, beat up van”
stopped to pick them Up.

“Neither one of the guys

them at a truckstop just after
9 pm. One ride and seven
hours later, they said, they
were on the beach at
Daytona. Scarboro was
especially proud of that.

“How about that, hm?
Exactly 24 hours after we left
home, we were sitting on the
beach!" ‘

The two stayed in Daytona
overnight, sleeping on some
beach furniture at an
oceanside hotel and changing
into their swimming trunks at
a nearby gas station the next
morning.

“We left Daytona on
Tuesday evening to go visit
my uncle in Winter Haven,"
Scarboro said. “We got there
in two rides and he was so
happy to see us he bought us a
keg of beer. We staye“I drunk
and fucked-up for the rest of
the week.”

“We didn’t have to buy
food, either. His uncle took us
out to all these fancy
restaraunts and bars and
stuff — it was wild.”

' Chambliss said. '

Scarboro said they would
have stayed “another week at
least,” but he had won NCAA
tickets in the lottery and
wanted to get home to use
them.

The two left Winter Haven
at dawn on Friday of spring
break. They still had their
suitcases, as well as almost
half of their “traveling
money.” Scarboro had spait
$14 and Chambliss $18.

“The only reason I spent
more was I bought an orange
tree to bring back,” Cham-
bliss said.

Somehow, the two made it
back to Lexington by 9 am.
Saturday. Scarboro stopped
at his apartment “long

enough to dump the dirty

said anything to us when we .

got in," Chambliss said.
“They just passed a bowl
back to us and we started
smoking.”

By the time their ride got
them to Corbin, Chambliss
said, they had picked up four
other hitchhikers, and had
“ just partyed down the high—
way."

Their party left them in
Corbin late Monday af-
ternoon, but they found a ride
there which took them all the
way to Jacksonville, leaving

clothes out of my suitcase and

throw in some clean ones,” .

then Chambliss drove him out
to Interstate 64, where he
thumbed to Louisville to meet
a noon ride to St. Louis.

“Got there right on time,
too. By 12:30 we were stoned
again, and on the way to St.
Louis to see the Cats,"
Scarboro said.

I saw Greg Scarboro at
halftime of the Arkansas—
Notre Dame game on tthe
following Monday. It had
been three weeks since I’d
last seen him—at the
Ni vada-Las Vegas game in
Lexington—and he had
promised to have a good story
when next we met. He
reminded me immediately.

“You’ve got to tell people
about our trip to Florida in
your column,” he kept
saying. “We thumbed down to
Florida for nothing, slept on
the beaches and stayed
fucked up all week — and we
didn’t even spend $20 apeice.
What a story!”

What a story, indeed.
