Homecoming '73

'Not just for Greeks'

By GAIL FITCH
Kernel Staff Writer

An effort is being made this year to include Lexington and
non-Greek students in the Homecoming events at UK.

“We are really trying to get citizens of Lexington excited
and involved in UK’s Homecoming this year,” said Emily
Ledford, publicity agent for Homecoming ’73. “The public
officials and businessmen in Lexington have been very
cooperative. They are helping us finance some of the
Homecoming programs that we just couldn’t afford.

"FOR EXAMPLE," she added, “the banners and posters
we are putting up in downtown Lexington were partially
financed by the downtown businesses.”

“So often Homecoming appears to be an event just for the
Greek students, but this year we tried to get away from that.
We want to have an outlet for non-Greek students, par-
ticularly freshmen, who want to get involved but don’t know

how Ledford said.

Both sides

see victory

in legislative

sessions battle

By sv RAMSEY

Associated Press Writer

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Both sides predict
solid victory on the proposed constitutional
amendment which would allow annual
legislative sessions.

The other proposal on next Tuesday’s
ballot, the so-called cluster amendment,
has drawn practically no controversy and
little comment.

Under the annual sessions amendment
the general assembly would meet yearly—
for up to 45 days in a six-month period
instead of 60 consecutive days every two
years as now.

HOUSE SPEAKER Norbert Blume, D-
Louisville, spearheading the annual
sessions campaign, said the amendment
will pass-maybe by a sweeping majority.

Recalling thata similar amendment was
rejected by Kentuckians four years ago,
Blume noted the populous areas of
Louisville and Lexington nonetheless gave
it good support at the time, but a lack of
legislative contests kept general voting
down.

. What is significant, he said, is that most
of the livelier legislative races which
would attract voters also are in Jefferson
and Fayette counties-to the apparent

advantage of the annual sessions amend-
ment.

BLUME ALSO said proponents are
extremely well organized in Louisville and
Lexington.

Rayburn Watkins, president of
Associated Industries of Kentucky, said
voters have turned down annual sessions
twice before “and my view is they will do it
again this time.”

He said the opposition is far more active
than the previous referendums and con-
stitutes a cross section of labor, business
and taming.

WATKINS ADDED there are intangible
factors that should not be overlooked and
would not necessarily portent triumph for
either side.

Also obscuring the outcome, he said, is
the unknown impact of recent mass
reregistration of Kentucky voters.

“It may be that we have a different body
politic which defies correct analysis," he
said.

The cluster proposal also may affect its
companion annual sessions amendment.

THE KENTUCKY Sheriffs' Association
appears to be leading a campaign for

passage of the cluster proposal which,
among other things, would allow sheriffs
to succeed themselves.

One view is that this would work in favor
of annual sessions, because the sheriffs’
advocates are urging approval of both
amendments to avoid confusion.

Another segment of the cluster amend-
ment provides for appointment of the state
superintendent of public instruction and
election of the state board of education.

THE REVERSE is true now, with the
governor appointing the seven state school
board members.

The third portion of the cluster plan calls
for abolition of the Kentucky Railroad
Commission, regarded by critics as a relic
of the past century.

The cluster amendment must be passed
as a whole. Any voter objecting to a par-
ticular section and marking “no"
automatically negates all three sections.

ALTHOUGH THE annual sessions
amendment is drawing more attention
than the cluster proposal, both sides
acknowledge the question has not stirred a
dormant electorate yet.

Fred W. Luigart Jr.

All Kentuckians lost a good friend yesterday when Fred
W. Luigart Jr. died of a heart attack while jogging near his
Lexington home.

Luigart, president of the Kentucky Coal Co.and formerly
an editor of three Kentucky newspapers and a reporter for.
the Louiville Courier-Journal, was a conscientious worker
in all of his activities.

 

 

He received the Kentucky Association of Soil Con»

servationists award for conservation articles on forestry in
1962, and was one of several reporters who participated in a
series of articles on stripmining which won a Pulitzer Prize
for the Courier-Journal in 1967.

Mr. Luigart was also a frequent visitor to the University,
his most recent visit last week when he addressed the
Engineering Department’s Third Annual Energy
Resources Conference.

We, along with the rest of the state, extend our sym-
pathies to his bereaved family.

Justice Douglas

Despite all the consternation caused by the Nixon.
dominated Supreme Court, there is at least one member of
that august body who has been a virtual hero to Americans
who still believe in human rights.

Justice William 0. Douglas, appointed to the Court by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939, has long been the
liberal spokesman for a Court whose character has changed
with that of the occupant of the White House.

The Court followed the lead of Douglas, forever a
proponent of freedom of speech and press, most closely
during the Eisenhower and Kennedy years when Earl
Warren served as Chief Justice.

Since 1968, Nixon appointees have given the highest court
in the land a right-leaning posture. But Douglas, forever the
battler, refuses to yield on questions he feels endanger basic
human freedoms.

Yesterday, Douglas became the longest-serving Justice
in the history of the Court. It is in the best interests of the
oft-maligned Bill of Rights that Douglas continue to grace
the bench, at least until a new administration takes over in
the White House.

Supports Jasper

In most instances this fall students are

. left with no real choice in the various local

elections and will be much better off
writing in their own name. However, there
is one race in which many students can
and should participate.

Joe Jasper is a candidate for Metro
government in the 3rd district, which
includes a large portion of off campus
student housing. Joe has the distinction of
being the only candidate to show up for the
Citizens to Impeach Nixon meeting last
Thursday. He has also pledged to “tighten
the screws” on slumlords” and has gone
on record opposing the Rosemont Ex-
tension.

Last spring Jasper was fired from his
job with the city when he announced his
candidacy. He knows where the corruption
lies in this city and should be put in a
position to do something about it.

whose “fairly conclusive body of

“diminished communicative verbal

Articles such as Dr. Husband's serve
only to further the public “misun-

biggest ”dropout phenomenon" of them

By PAM WOODRUM

What is a pelvic exam?

A pelvic exam is an examination by a
physician, clinical nurse or nurse prac-
titioner of the vagina, cervix, uterus,
ovaries and rectum. The first part of the
exam utilizes a metal instrument called a
speculum which is used to slightly spread
apart the vaginal walls to enable the
practitioner to view the cervix.

The second part is the bimanual exam
which enables the practitioner to feel for
any abnormality of the uterus, and ovaries
and fallopian tubes.

The third part of the exam consists of a
rectal exam.

Is a pelvic exam painful?

The pelvic exam may be slightly un-
comfortable for some girls, particularly if
they have never had such an exam before.
However, it is not usually “painful".
What is a Pap. smear?

A test discovered by Dr. George
Papanicolaou to detect cervical cancer.
How is a Pap. smear obtained?

cervix are obtained by swabbing the
cervix (the lower part of the uterus which
protrudes into the vagina) with a cotton
tipped applicator and by scraping the
cervix with a special spatula. A thin layer
of material from each method is then
smeared over the surface of two thin glass
slides which are then examined by a
pathologist.

How does a Pap. smear detect cervical
cancer?

Cells from the cancer area of the cervix
are continually being sloughed off into the
normal discharge from the cervix and
vagina. Therefore, by careful examination
of this discharge these cells can be
discovered and the cancer diagnosed early
before it has an opportunity to invade or to
spread. Great progress has been made in
cancer of the cervix. The death rate from
cancer of the cervix has been reduced by
50 per cent in the past generation. Cancer
of the cervix would become almost a
completely preventable disease if women
would report to their doctors regularly for

Is it painful to have a Pap. smear taken?

No—The patient feels absolutely no
discomfort when a Pap. smear is taken.
When should you first have a Pap. smear
and how often should a Pap. smear be
done?

As soon as a girl becomes sexually ac-
tive, whether 14 or 24, she should have a
Pap. smear.

It is recommended that a Pap. smear be
done once a year unless otherwise advised
by your physician.

Are there any special preparations
necessary before having a Pap. smear
taken?

Yes Do not douche for a couple of days
before a pelvic exam as a douche would
wash away the cells in the vaginal
discharge that would otherwise be
examined.

What does it mean when you’re asked to
have the Pap. smear repeated?

Every so often we are requested by the
laboratory to repeat a Pap. smear. There
are various reasons for such a request.

specimen was damaged in handling.

Infection such as a vaginitis can cause a
mild abnormality on the Pap. smear.
When we suspect that vaginitis is the
cause, we usually treat the infection and
then repeat the Pap. smear at a later date.

However only by obtaining another
smear can we rule out the possibility of
malignant changes.

What» do these services cost?

If a student who has paid the health fee
comes to the Health Service there is no
charge for the pelvic exam and Pap-
smear. A student who has not paid the
health fee will be charged :5 for the

Remarkable comeback for porno king

By MIKE WINES

Joe Smith has made a remarkable
comeback, by any standards.

Six years ago he had no money, no job.
His only friends were doing stretches in
Ananta Federal Penitentiary, where he
had just completed a seven-year sentence.
He had no family; only an aging and poor
mother awaited his return to New York.

He had even lost his youth. At 29, a
scraggly reddish beard only made him
look older.

The beard is still spotty at 35. In a pair of
seat-worn corduroys and a green,
unraveling Ban-Lon shirt, Smith still looks
and talks the part of an ex-convict. The
difference is that he now takes home, by
his own estimate, from $500 to $1,000 a
week from his successful Manhattan
business. He drives a late-model car. He
rents a comfortable suite at the Dixie
Hotel on 43rd Street--far from an elegant
address, he admits, but adequate.

Two weeks ago, capping a commitment
he made after his release from prison, Joe
Smith bought his mother a new home in
Rhode Island.

About it all, he displays a deep and bitter
satisfaction. Success is one consolation in
a life which had few friends and no family.

“Look," he says, yanking an uncut tuft
of beard, “six years and I’m still in
business, ain’t I? And listen, I'm making
more now than you’re ever going to get
with your writing."

Anonymity is another consolation. Joe
Smith wouldn’t tell a reporter his real
name. Nobody likes a pornographer, one
of a few dozen who openly peddle smut in
the grimy shops and movie houses along
42nd Street’s seediest block.

The 200 block of West 42nd Street is an
artery clogged with anonymous faces.
Transvestites in wigs and red high heels
bump against blue-suited executives and
stumbling, muttering old men. There is
little talk.

To the east is Times Square, Manhat~
tan’s declining crossroads. Follow the
block west, as many do, and you reach the
Tenderloin district, home of the city’s
down-and-out prostitutes.

At 256 W. 42nd is a 10-foot glass
storefront lost amid movie marquees.
Twelve spotlights glow under a sign
reading “BOOKS-Publishers Outlet”.
Another dozen shine out onto the sidewalk.

On an unpolished plank floor inside
stand two tables of plywood and tw0oby-
fours, covered with magazines. More
magazines line the walls and a metal rack
beside the door.

Twenty feet to the rear—this is a tiny,
cramped store—a green curtain hides four
coin-operated “peepshows”. A quarter

 

 

 

Dagellj]

 

produces 60 seconds of grainily-filmed sex
acts accompanied by a cacophony of
screams and moans. Men swarm around
the machines. They make no noise except
for the click of quarters sliding into the
coin slots.

Smith sits by an ancient cash register
and waves his arm toward the rear.

“You know how much I pay in rent for
all this? Twenty-four hundred dollars a
month, for this little hole." he says. “The
guy across the street wants $30,000 for that
dump”——he points to another bookstore out
the door—”and you can’t even turn around
in it.”

It took $30,000 for Smith to set up
Publishers Outlet last July, taking over the
lease from a previous owner. The shop has
a history of police raids dating from 1969.
But Smith became owner only after an
apprenticeship in three other shops,
beginning almost immediately after his
release from prison.

Had it not been for prison, he says, he
probably wouldn’t have become a
pornographer at all.

Joe Smith was sent to federal prison in
Atlanta in 1960, three years after he was
graduated from a Manhattan high school.
His father died when Smith was a
youngster. His mother worked to put her
son through school. But somehow, Smith
never got a steady job after graduating. In
a year or so, he drifted into crime.

“I did seven years for mail fraud...I was
a stock swindler,” he says. “I needed the
money, bad. The only thing I regret is
getting caught.”

His best friend in prison, sent up on an
obscenity conviction, had few regrets
either. He outlined the pornography trade
to Smith in glowing terms. Still, when
Smith was freed early in 1967, he didn’t
intend to enter the smut trade, he says.

But he couldn’t get a job anywhere else.

“This is one hell of a lot better than being
out on the streets,” he says. “You tell me
what’s wrong with it. I don’t sell to kids. I
think people over 21 should be able to see
a film or read a book without. someone
telling them what they oughta do.

“Ninety per cent of the guys in these
bookstores are ex-cons. Nobody would
have anything to do with them, this was
the only place they could go, and now the
cops are trying to run everybody out. You
put the bookstores out of work, man, and
you’re going to have one hell of a crime
wave in this city. I can’t see why they just
won’t leave us alone.”

The police haven’t left Smith alone since
he left the penitentiary. His first job was in
a 50th Street smut shop, where he was
promptly arrested on charges of selling
obscene literature. Six years and three

 

f

Times Square bookshops later, Smith
figures he has been “pinched” some 80
times. He keeps a lawyer on a $12,000-a-
year retainer to handle his cases.

”I don’t even bother to contest the
arrests,” he says. “It isn’t worth the
trouble. I just pay the fines, and get back
into business."

His glory is not in paying the fines,
although at the height of election-year
crackdowns he claims to have written off
$1,000 a week. But he feels a sort of
triumph in surviving a steady campaign of
“harassment“ by politicians and police.

“The big problem is that they confiscate
all your stock,” he says, pointing to rows of
8mm films behind the cash register.
“Anything you’ve got on display.” He
laughs. “Then they take it home and show
it to thier wives.”

Smith says he feels nothing but com-
tempt for the police and their crackdowns.
If anything, he says, they are a sort of
vindication for his own efforts.

“But I’m here, ain’t 1'? Who’s put up with
all the shit for the past five, six years—
who, huh? I guess I’ve paid $15,000, $20,000
in fines, but I’m making money, even a
profit.”

These days the profit is at an alltime
high. Pornographers in Manhattan had
been subjected since 1970 to a drumbeat of
arrests, jailings and fines under an anti-
smut crusade ordered by Mayor John V.
Lindsay. Lindsay sought to boost Times
Square’s attraction to tourists and
businesses. His biggest success has been
the closing of a live sex show. Most of the
city’s 200 or so pornographic bookstores
are still in business.

Lindsay’s campaign got a boost last
June when the Supreme Court threw out
the liberal definition of obscenity
established in 1957 by the Warren Court.
The Nixon court, led by Chief Justice
Warren Burger, substituted a far stricter
set of rules. What constitutes obscenity is
now left up to local, not national definition,
but to escape conviction a work is required
to have,“serious literary, artistic, political
or scientific value.”

The trade in smut seemed temporarily
stemmed. Pornographers were hit with a
spate of arrests this summer. But in mid-
August, New York’s civil and criminal
obscenity laws were thrown out in a state
supreme court test as too vague to be
enforced. The presiding Judge added that
the state’s “contemporary community
standards” were beyond his definition.

The ruling has reopened the por-
nography trade to the flood tide it enjoyed
before Lindsay's crackdown. Herb
Kassner, a New York City lawyer who
represents many of the city’s wealthiest
pornographers, says the state in effect has
no obscenity law now.

For Smith, it means the profitable “hard
core” items—explicit films and the
peepshows—can come out of the back
room. He hasn’t been arrested since the
ruling was made.

“Business has been better, much better,
sunce they changed the law,” he says. So
much better, in fact, that he now keeps
Publishers Outlet open 20 hours a day, and
pays a staff of nine to hawk the books and
films for him.

Ironically, the freedom has sliced the
cost of former black-market items, like the
films, nearly in half. A stag film that cost
$40 last May now goes for $22.50, with any
additional films for $10 each.

But Smith relishes the new openness.
“If I were to sell soft-core and nothing

     
   
   
   
  
   
  
  
   
   
   
   
   
  
   
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
   
 
    
 
    
   
 
 
    
  
   
  
 
    
  
  
    
 
   
  
  
   
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
    
    
  
  
    
  
   
  
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
     
  
  
 
  
  
   
  
 

 

else, I wouldn’t sell $100 a day,” he says.
When I’m selling hard-core, I’ll do $800 or
$1,000, easy.”

Smith will not say who supplies his
business. In most states—and until
recently in New York and New Jersey——
wholesaling of pornography is a felony
which can netan offender a heavy fine and
seven years in jail.

Smith knows all this. He also knows of
reports linking the pornography industry
to organized crime. Smut shops which
have dropped their suppliers have found
themselves burned out. Most of the 1,000-
odd peepshow machines are reportedly
leased from syndicate operators.

But he ignores the news reports, and
points to his customers. They are white,
middle class, well-dressed businessmen,
many on lunch-hour or after work visits.
They inquire after and purchase obscene
films and books much as they might deal
in stocks or an advertising campaign.
They are legitimate.

And so, Smith contends, is he. No longer
a smut peddler, he is a businessman,
supplying goods to a demanding public.
And for the first time he Can remember, he
is a respected member of a business
community—the merchants of 42nd Street.

“I know every man on this block," he
boasts. “Most of them are hard-working
guys, honest guys. We gotta make a living
too, you know."

Gathering on their own lunch hours, the
pornographers meet in bars, midtown
restaurants, for drinks and talk. They talk
business; they socialize. They keep track
of obscenity laws and police crackdowns
like more “respectable" businessmen
watch the Dow Jones Industrials. And they
make no excuses.

“I have to do it," Smith says. “This is
my line of work.“

all sources of income.

Income includes nearly
everything—types of pensions,
benefits, allotments, various
types of compensations and
accident claims.

IT ALSO includes (in the case
of students) scholarships, grants,
loans which are payable after
graduation, and money con-
tributed by parents. Full—time
and part-time employment are
naturally considered income.

expenses and, if a student,
tuition, books and lab fees.

THE TOTAL deductions are
then subtracted from the gross
income to arrive at the adjusted
net income. Provided the ap-
plicant’s situation is not changed
by other factors, this figure
determines eligibility.

Other factors involved in
determining eligibility are
registration for employment (if
necessary) and amount of
resources.

Resources are defined as “cash
on hand, bank accounts, postal
savings, real land personal
property," and stocks and bonds.
Summer earnings gained
specifically for educational
purposes are considered a
resource.

SINCE RESOURCES are non-
exempt. households having
resources “in excess of $3,000 for
households with two or more
persons including at least one
member age 60 or over, or $1,500
in all other households" are not
eligible.

If the resources are determined
to be within the allowed amounts,
the adjusted net income deter-
mines the eligibility.

The maximum amount a
household of one can have as
adjusted net income is $183. The
maximum of a household of two
is $240; a household of three,
$313; and a household of four,
$387.

THE EXACT allotment of food
stamps is determined in-

dividually.
Food stamp personnel are
“client advocates," said

supervisor Elizabeth Foley. They
are there to serve the public as
far as possible within set
guidelines.

Remember?

A noted publisher in Chicago ree .
ports there is a simple technique 1
for acquiring a powerful memory 5
which can pay you real dividends l
in both business and social ad- l
vancement and works like magic E

much they could influence others
simply by remembering accu-
rately everything they see, hear.
or read. Whether in business, at
social functions. or even in casual
conversations with new acquaint-
ances. there are ways in which
you can dominate each situation
by your ability to remember.

To acquaint the readers of
this paper with the easy-to‘
follow rules for developing skill
in remembering anything you
choose to remember, the pub-
lishers have printed full details
of their self-training method in
