President ()tis A. Singletary assured the faculty yesterday
that he would do all he could to help them meet the financial

problems posed by inflation.

The Kentucky Council on Higher Education has increased
the University's operating base by 5.5 per cent for salary

increases. and other things.

such as

Security and workman's compensation costs, Singletary

said.

“I (tl’ARAN’l‘El-l 1‘“ protect the 5.5 as best I can. although
some things will have to come off the top." Singletary told
faculty members attending a gathering sponsored by the
American Association of University Professors.

”Beginning tomorrow moring in my cabinet meeting. we

will begin to look for ways to increase that 5.5 figure.“

said

Singletary. adding “that involves tradeeffs within the

University.”

Singletary said he had no option in the amount of increase
he could ask of the Council, because all state universities are
bound to the same percentage of increase.

HE SAID he recognized that salaries were falling behind
the cost of living, adding that he would “attempt to seek a

broader base for the next biennium.“

The dangers of sidewalk ‘dodge 'em'

Pictures of a two-bicycle accident
that appeared in Monday‘s Kernel
indicate that the campus game of
“dodge ‘em" is becoming a bit
rougher than expected.

”Dodge ‘em", you may remember
from an earlier editorial this
semester. pits one pedestrian against
one bicyclist. After a faceoff each
tries to move past the other without
being knocked to the ground. Teams
may also compete and the men in the

picture at right discovered that
cyclists may compete against
cyclists. In rare match-ups a

pedestrian. cyclist and motor vehicle
may square-off. The arena may be
any campus sidewalk or street.

The winner of course. is the person
that leaves the scene with the fewest
injuries.

Attendance to the contests has been
high this semester. All sidewalks are
reporting standing room only crowds.
But the competitors are complaining
that the thrill of victory bearsa strong
resemblance to the agony of defeat.
thus putting a damper on the sport.

Actually the game isn‘t much fun at
all. (me of the men injured in
Saturday's collision was admitted to
the Med Center with a concussion.
()ther persons have reported being
knocked down by careless cyclists.
resulting in cuts and abrasions.
Needless to say. the administration is
becoming worried about the
frequency of accident reports.

Who‘s to blame? It may not be
totally fair to cyclists but we‘re
placing on them the full responsibility
for each accident that occurs on a
crowded sidewalk. Accidents in

streets may be caused by careless
motorists so we‘ll have to leave
judgments on those matches to the
referees (law enforcement officials).

Perhaps the chief asset of riding a
bike to school is that one may ride to a
classroom building without having to
walk two or three blocks from a
sidestreet parking space or having to
park at Commonwealth Stadium and
having to ride a bus to central
campus. Those days may be coming
to an end.

At least one University official has
indicated that unless the number of

however. enforcement of laws is
impossible: there aren‘t any

t‘niversity regulations that cover this
issue. (‘onsequently the only way to
avoid serious injury is to be careful.

it is unfortunate that the
administration refuses to recognize
the need for bicycle paths on campus.
The most frequent reply to editorial

pleas of this paper tor bike paths has
been that "thecost ot butlding them is

Foreign policy and U.S. economy

By NICHOLAS VON HOFFMAN

WASHINGTON — Judging from his
words the new President regards the
inflation problem as he would an outbreak
of equine encephalitis; that is, as a public
health problem. the remedy to which all
men — Christian Scientists, Seventh-Day
Adventists and cranks excepted — can
agree on. So it must seem to one who
surrounds himself with the uniformity of
opinion which presumes that with certain
minor adjustments we can work our way
back into our happy yesterdays.

Had he invited any of the more
orovocativethinkers of the Left or Right to
his summit conference, Ford would have
at least heard his problems dissected in
startlingly different terms. As it is he
won‘t have a chance to hear someone like
Stanford University‘s John G. Gurley tell
him that there is an indissoluble linkage
between American foreign policy and our
Increasingly difficult economic problems.

THIS [Ill-IA GOES further than the
money hemorrhage occasioned by the flow
of our military spending abroad. ()n that
ooint New Left and New Right agree.

But a person like Gurley, a former editor
of the American Economic Review, goes
further and speaks of “a deterioration of
the l'nited States capitalist class” brought
on in nosmall part bythe shrinking area of
the world in which we can operate
economically as we used to.

Gurley reminds us that “the Russian
revolution closed off a good part of the
world for investment. and then China
closed off more in 1949. and now many
other countries are doing the same, while
we need to grow to maintain the viability
of our entrepreneurial class, and that's
Increasingly difficult in this world
economy .“

IN Till-Z SENSE of closing off of
Investment opportunities. China, North
Vietnam anda score of other countries are
Indeed a ”loss.“ To add to the changing
dimensions of the world, the profits once
tlowrng to the United States from cheap
toreign labor and natural resources are
diminishing rapidly.

No better example of that can be found
than tracing the places of manufacture of
such all-American necessities as baseballs
and television sets. As the years pass and
loreign labor rates climb. these refugees
from our own higher production costs must
move from country to country ever
seeking cheap labor.

For a long time one of the ways we
sustain edour economic dominance was by
exporting our inflation. We could do that
because no matter how much we
cheapened our dollar at home, the
international agreements fixing rigid
money-exchange rates with other
countries‘ currencies meant that
foreigners had to continue to accept our

money at a price it was no longer worth.

Thus, hypothetically, the West Germans
continued to get only our Deutsche marks
to the dollar long after they should been
getting eight; but the money printed to pay
for Vietnam broke the system.

OUR CURRENCY exchange
agreements collapsed, and now the dollar
only gets what it deserves in exchange.
However. although our position has
changed, “We’re still looking at life and
foreign pdicy as a football game . . . our
we're—number-one way of looking at
economics,” or so says Jim Crotty,
Professor of Economics at the University
of Massachusetts and another non—invitee
to Washington.

It is Crotty‘s contention that Americans
at home are being made to pay in order for
others to export capital abroad and
thereby continue to struggle for a waning
dominance. For evidence Crotty cites the
huge new tax incentives to exporters and
the tripling of agricultural exports in the
last few years. The results of the
tood policy are available for inspection at
the local supermarket. but the subsidized
export program hurts just as surely if not
as visibly.

None of this, he emphasizes, does you
and me any good. It doesn‘t increase
wealth. our standards of living and our
purchasing power, and, in the not very
long run, it may complete the
enfeeblement of Gurley‘s entrepreneurial
class. While this is happening, though,
incalculable sums are wasted in pursuit of
number-onemanship. That same money is
doubly lost because it might have been
spent increasing our own productivity;
that is, enriching ourselves.

THIS SORT 0F analysis not only asks
the question, “Do we really need this
entrepreneurial class?" but also puts a
different light on such matters as the
Kissinger-CIA escapades in places like
Chile. There is a limit to how many of these
things can surface and be dismissed as
aberrational blunders. rather than the
faulty execution of bad policy.

And blunders they are. because even if
this nefarious 40 committee, chaired by
the redoubtable Doctor of Diplomacy.
succeeded in murdering Allende and
overthrowing his government, the new
rulers down there aren’t going to let ITT
back in anyway. Capitalist, Communist or
Socialist, the word from all these countries
is that if there‘s any plundering to do the
natives are going to do it.

None of this will be on the White House
summit agenda. After all, this is an
economics conference and that doesn‘t
have anything to do with foreign policy.
don‘t you see?

oarty. Most forecasts suggest times will become tougher in the
winter ahead. indicating the Labor party, as the party in power.
might be badly beaten if a vote were delayed too long

Present polls make Labor the favorite but by such a narrow
margin that the outcome would be similar to the standoff in last
February's poll

Most of the articles stolen were

could hide on his person.

HARRISON stressed the
importance of locking a room

Harrison said keeping rooms
locked and recordmg all serial

of articles will help the police.
“IF A stolen article is later
recovered it will help us." he
said. "A person can be charged
with the crime if there is a means
of identifying the merchandise."

There was a rash of textbooks
stolen at the end of last semester.
They were virtually impossible to
identify because people didn‘t
have their names in them,
llarrison said.

“Our big problem is that we
aren‘t given complete
descriptions. At least 50 per cent
of the stolen merchandise is
disposed of in pawnshops. If the
stull is identifiable. the property
can be returned to the owner.
