and was unavailable for comment.

President ()tis Singletary said Wed—
nesday night he will not make any hasty
decisions concernirg a replacement for
Morris and that the resignation “will
cause me to have to look at the whole thing
(the administration 1.”

Singletary said he had been at a con-
ference in Washington. I) (‘.. for the past
several days and was not fully informed of
all the details surrounding the an-
nouncement. He said he assumed Morris
would continue in his current position until

“Ill-I tMthRISl has been with me since
I first came to UK and was one of my first
choices. I have valued both his friendship
and judgment during that time,"
Singletary said.

In the press release Morris was quoted
as saying he leaves with “mixed
emotions."

“There is no place I'd rather live than
Lexington; no institution I'd rather be
associated with than UK and no man I'd
rather work for than ()tis Singletary,"
Morris was quoted in the release.

“I FEEL I must leave. in an effort to
reconstruct my personal life." Morris
stated. “I am most fortunate to have the
opportunity of working with AAHC."

organization to represent the collective
efforts of higher eeducation in health
research and manpower.

ABC Board

license ruling

By LINDA (‘ARNES
l-Zditor—in-(‘hief

The Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC)
Board recently ruled that ABC licensees
may advertise in the Kentucky Kernel if
they do not use words denoting alcoholic
beverages. ABC Commissioner Julian
W. Knippenberg said a letter to Kernel
Press Inc. lawyer. Tom Bunch.

The ABC Board met informally Nov. 13
and “unanimously agreed that . . .licen-
sees of this department should not ad-
vertise in the Kernel if they plan to use
anything denoting alcholic beverages or if
their name contains anything referring to
alcholic beverages." Knippenberg said.

KNIPI’HNBERG‘S letter was a
response to a request from Bunch for
clarification of an ABC letter sent to
several Kernel advertisers Oct. 25. The
Oct. 25 letter said advertising of “licensed
presmises" was a violation of ABC
Regulation 1610.

AB(‘ Regulation 16.10 prohibits ad—

By LYN HACKER

It is "highly unlikely" that the
University will schedule finals a week
earlier if the football team is invited to
play in the Liberty Bowl. Senate Council
(‘hairman Stanford Smith told the Senate
(‘ouncil Wednesday,

”There have been a number of rumors,
one on the radio. that UK will wipe a week
of school out if we are asked to play." he
said.

"1‘0 THE best of my knowledge there
has been no formal actions on this matter
anywhere in the l'niversity." Smith said.

Smith said the (‘ouncil would do
everything possible to provide the op—
portunity for students who wishto gotothe
game or woukl be participants in it to
make arrangements with their professors
for final exams.

The vice president for student affairs is
authorized to allow athletes to miss class

Mixed reactions to World Food Conference

The 11-day World Food Conference
ended Saturday in Rome and drew
muted reactions from those con-
cerned with starvation and hunger
around the world. The poor “Third
World" nations. faced with a
probability of widespread starvation.
were disappointed that they did not
receive larger commitments for
immediate grain gifts while the richer
nations complained that not enough
time was spent on long-range
solutions. Aithough the conference
was often beset with political
bickering and ideological name—
calling. the delegates were able to
agree on several long-range
programs. which could help ease the
problem in years to come. including
the following:

—The World Food Council was
created subject to approval by the
General Assembly of the United
Nations. The Council will have its
headquarters in Home but will report
directly to the United Nations in New
York. The forming of a permanent
organi7ation to deal with problems of
food production and allocation on a
continuous basis was a prime desire

 

An agricultural development fund
was promoted by the Arab nations
and was actively supported by most
of the other nations. This fund would
aid in improving agricultural
equipment and techniques in the
underdeveloped countries,

A program for expanding
agricultural research around the
world was adopted. This program
would seek to financially aid
agricultural experts in their research
projects .

. An effort to improve irrigation
drainage and flood control in the
hungry nations was started, Many
countries (like Bangladeshi were
especially hard hit by flooding during
the last few months.

VA nutritionaid program was
created to implement special
feeding services for malnourished
children.

The mle of women in agricultural
production and the special needs of
mothers in the areas of the world
plagued by' hunger was emphasized

(tn the other side of the com. the
countries facing imminent starvation.
notably Bangladesh. India. Pakistan.
Sri lanka and 'l‘anxania. cried out for

grain. The l' .N. Food and Agriculture
Administration estimated that bet-
ween eight and 10 million tons of grain
will be needed in the next eight
months to prevent mass starvation in
fanimestricken areas of the world.
The rich industrial nations. primarily
the l'nited States. Russia and the
.~\rab oil-producing countries are the
logical places to seek grain and
financial assistance.

The t'mtcd States and Canada
respondul with a promise of one
million tons of grain in the coming
year while Australia added an un-
disclosed amount to that total. Also.
the Organization of Petroleum I‘Zx-
porting t'ountries pledged $8 billion in
aid for poorer countries this year.

WIN: The

By NICHOLAS VON HOFFMAN

WASHINGTON —Sylvia Porter
laid down a kind of half-baked
ultimatum the other day. The
chairperson of President Ford’s
Citizen‘s Action Committee to
Fight Inflation said that if we
don‘t take the pledge for the WIN
campaign and promise to grow
vegetables in the backyard. her
boss was going to slap on
“mandatory wage and price con-
trols.“

This happy intelligence Ms.
Porter said she'd learned not
from the President‘s own mouth,
but had deduced in her capacity
as a “trained economist." Where
Ms. Porter received her training
wasn’t mentioned in the dis-
patches. but any sane school of

economics will tell you that if you
grow your own corn and lima
beans. all you're going to get is
succotash.

However, the one place where
administering the pledge might
do some good is at the Federal
Reserve Board. The Board is
where they grind out all that
worthless money; and while
there is no known correlation
between the price level and Ms.
Porter’s homegrown turnips,
there is a high one between the
Fed's money printing and infla-
tion.

Experience shows that the
upper limit for pumping new
money into our system, without
getting an ugly inflationary leap

Letters to the editor

Knocks lensman

David Halberstam came to the
University a few days ago. His
lecture and the following question
and answer series were interest-
ing and enjoyable. I hope the
committee responsible for his
appearance continues to attract
intelligent and stimulating speak-
ers in the future. This campus
has had the opportunity to hear
Jack Anderson, Ralph Nader and
others of equal intellect.

There is one complaint which I
would like to raise with the
Kernel and its photographer,
David Cronen. For the first 15 or
20 minutes of Mr. Halberstam‘s
talk. the Kernels photographer
was all over the man. CLICK,
CLICK, CLICK How many
pictures does an “experienced"
photographer have to take to get
one that he can use?

The point, Mr. Cronen, is that
you were annoying and disrup-
tive. The crowd was watching
your next angle instead of
listening to Halberstam. Two or
three times Mr. Halberstam
seemed to lose his train of
thought because your lens was up
his left nostril. This isn’t the only
lecture you’ve done this. It
happened at Ralph Nader and
Jack Anderson. At Anderson‘s
you finally had to be asked to sit
down.

Mr. Cronen, in the future
please try to remember the
people are there to see the
speaker not your camera tcchni-
ques. The Pulitzer can wait.

counter. is about 6 per cent a
year. From January 1972 to July
1973 the Fed was pushing money
out at the rate of nearly 9 per
cent. which is 50 per cent faster
than the outer edge of safety.
Even this year the growth rate
was 7 per cent-plus. until the Fed
abruptly cut it off in July.

Why all this wild jumping
around? “Overreaction to short-
run fluctuations,“ sayd Darryl
Francis, the president of the St.
Louis Federal Reserve Bank. In
the closed, nocomment world of
the Fed, Mr. Francis is looked on
as something of a dissident.

outside many persons agree with
him and go further to say that the
Fed‘s policies are impractical,
contradictory and dangerous.

The Fed‘s goals are laudable
enough: to keep employment up.
interest rates down, business up,
inflation down and prices flat.
The operative assumption for

money for fewer jobs and more

Cover-up iury hears
Mitchell refuse blame

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Watergate cover-up trial jury
Wednesday heard another chapter in a continuing saga: How John
Mitchell refused to take the blame for Watergate despite
presidential pressure that he do so.

The jurors were transported back in time again through reels of
tape, to April 14, 1973 when John D. Ehrlichman reported how
Mitchell received the Richard Nixon suggestion that he accept the
Watergate heat.

“He lobbed mudballs at the White House at every opportunity,"
Ehrlichman is heard telling Nixon after his unsuccessful effort.

“He is an innocent man in his heart and in his mind and he does
not intend to move off that position," Ehrlichman reported.

“He said if I‘m indicted it is going to be very hard...but I can‘t let
people get away with this kind of thing...l am just going to have to
defend myself every way I can."

April 14, 1973, was a Saturday ——> the beginning of a weekend in
which Nixon was totally occupied with the Watergate scandal that
then was hitting the pressure point with then-White House Counsel
John W. Dean III and 1972 Nixon campaign aide Jeb Stuart
Magruder spilling the story to prosecutors.

House overrides two
presidential vetoes

WASHINGTON (AP) ~ The House overrode President Ford‘s
vetoes of two bills Wednesday _. one of them broadening the
freedom of Information Act, the other expanding federal aid to the
handicapped.

The margins were overwhelming and only one member spoke up
to back the White House on either bill.

The vote to override the veto of the $851 million vocational and
rehabilitation bill was 398 to 7. with all seven votes to support the
White House coming from members who are either retiring or were
beaten in recent elections.

On the bill to amend the freedom of information bill. to give
greater access to government documents. the vote was 371 to 31.

Agriculture board endorses
Morehead veterinary program

LOUISVILLE (AP) —- The state Board of Agriculture endorsed
Morehead State University‘s program in veterinary science
technology at its regular meeting Wednesday The board met at the
Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center in conjunction with the North
American Livestock Exposition.

Agriculture commissioner Wendell Butler said there's an urgent
need for veterinarians. especially in Eastern Kentucky. and
Morehead’s program is “designed to help the veterinary situation
where it’s the worst."

The program in veterinary science technology does not compete
with veterinarians. Butler said. “These people will be assistants to
veterinarians. The program is designed to graduate competent
individuals with veterinary technician skills." he said.

Butler explained the technician will receive an associate degree
after two years of study. He said 14 students will he graduated with

 Faculty tenure and promotion
recommendations suspended

By LYN HACKER

Kernel Staff Writer
President ()tis A. Singletary
announced he will put faculty
tenure and promotion standard

recommendations recently
passed by the University Senate
in “deep freeze" effective today.
He said the recommendations
policy would be suspended until it
was clarified by the Senate.

SINGLETARY was reacting to
criticism from faculty members
who alleged the policy was
“stealing tenure and promotion
decisions from the depart-
ments.“ he said.

I‘Ileven anthropology faculty
members "objected vehemen-
tly" to the policy. and 37 faculty
members and Ill senators
petitioned the Senate (‘ounciI to
l'e-admlt the recommendations to
the l'niversity Senate floor for
turthcr discussion, (‘ouncil
(‘hairman Stan Smith said.

The recommendations came
trom an ad~hoc committee to re-
evaluate tenure and promotion
known as the Krislov Report.

SINGLETARY told the Senate
t‘ouncil Wednesday that the

tenure and promotions standards
had “been around for a long time
in the (University) Senate rules
and regulations and policy
documents."

Smith said the original in-
tention ofthe Krislov Report was
to “say what we do" in simpler
language and make the in—
formation more readily available
to the younger faculty members.

Singletary said because the
Krislov Report was passed by the
University Senate with no serious
objections, he had assumed that
the .aculty had wanted it done.

"'I‘IIH l~‘.r\(‘l'l.TY'S jumped on
me for things they wanted me to
do so my legitimate recourse is to
notify the faculty tomorrow I’m
going to put this thing in the deep
freeze until something is done.“
he said.

The (‘ouncil decided to place
the policy on agenda for the
Senate's Dec. 9 meeting.

“Som ehow this thing has gotten
turned around 180 degrees. I hope
when it gets to the Senate floor we
can communicate what the in-
tention of it was.“ Smith said.

SINGLETARY said he was
upset about the content of the
petition and the accompanying
literature with it. “They asked if
tenure and promotion was being
taken from department hands
and being delegated to the
President,“ he said.

“They know damn well there
are agencies in the University to
protest against that. The fear
and suspicion is all out of
proportion on this thing, all the
basic structures are here,” he
said.

“I think we have a fine tenure
policy already but we seem to get
more and more specific and less
and less effective,” he said.

SINGLETARY added there
was no compulsion to go forward
with the policy and he had im-
plemented it only because he
thought it was what the faculty
wanted.

“If they don‘t want it. I won't
do it.“ he said, ”so I’ll put it in
suspension until it is clarified in
the Senate," he said.

“I think we’re going to find a
good bit more spiritied debate in
the Senate this time,“ he said.
