Access to buildings is still problem

..Editor’s Note: This article is the
first In a series on handicapped
students at UK.

By BETSY PEARCE
Copy Editor

Although many University
buildings are considered “ac-
cesible,” students in wheelchairs
often face great obstacles on
campus. The buildings which are
technically accessible are in reality
quite hard for handicapped students
to enter, according to Jake Kames,
director of handicapped student
services.

Three years ago, handicapped
student services cauducted a “fairly
comprehensive and accurate”

survey of almost all UK buildings,
Kames said. The survey included
question on the accessibility of
building doors, bathrooms,
elevators and parking areas.

Survey findings showed nearly all
campuus buildings had some type of
accessibility problem, Karnes said.
Some of these problems were
alleviated by installing ramps,
adjusting door handles and
revamping bathrooms to ac-
commodate wheelchairs.

However, Kames said “totally
inaccessible” buildings still exist,
while others are nearly as bad.

The problem buildings are Kastle,
Pence and Miller halls, the Home-Ec
building and the second floor of
Taylor Education Building (where

departmental offices, including
special education, are housed).

Other buildings which Karnes said
are “technically accessible, but
extremely difficult,” are
Funkhouser, McVey Hall and the
Journalism Building. All three have
hazarst elevators.

“The heavy service elevator in the
back of Funkhouser would be hard
for able-bodied students to use,” he
said.

“The purpose of handicapped
student services is to provide sup-
portive services for disabled in-
dividuals in order that they may
have educational, cultural and
social opportunities equal to those of
other students," Kames said.

Because of accessibility problems,

handicapped students are being
discriminated against became they
aren't able to enjoy the rights taken
for granted by able~bodied students,
Karnes claimed.

This kind of discrimination is not
only evident in classroom buildings,
but in University housing as well, he
said.

“Very minimal" accomodations
have been made for wheelchair
students living in Cooperstown,
Shawneetown and Commonwealth
Village, Karnes said. At the Com-
plex, low-rise dorm doors are too
heavy and awkward for wheelchair
students to 0pm. The elevators in
Blanding and Kirwan towers
automatically cutoff when there is a
fire alarm.

Evening classes at UK are
growing at a rapid pace. There are
more than 4,000 students enrolled in
the program this spring, most of
them part-time, with 609 students in
the program who are strictly
evening students.

Enrollment is rising because of an
increased class offering and adult

interest in taking night classes,

according to Millard Allen, director

‘ of the Evening Class Program.“0ur

class offering has more than doubled
over the past year,” said Allen. “We
now offer 250 classes to our
students."

Before last fall, evening class
students could only enroll in sections
91 and 92 of courses, said Dr.
Stephen Langston, acting dean of the
University Extension Program.

Students who take only evening
classes are now allowed to enroll in
the evening courses formerly
reserved for daytime students.

Because of this cross-sectioning,
eveiing class students are now
allowed to advance register.

“Another reason for increased
cnmllment is more students are
working during the day and taking

classes at night,” said George
Dexter, associate registrar.

Langston cited a lack of
awareness throughout the univa'sity
community as one of thereasons the
program has not grown in the past.

“We now luave more classes
because the other departments are
taking an interest in the division and
giving us their support.”

Enrollment is rising also because
more adults are entering the-
cveruing dass programs. Langston
said the program is ready to serve
them.

”As fewer tti-year-olds come
along, we will start looking for other
groups to serve Adult and con-
tinuing education is beginning to be
given important condderatlons. We
will try to improve the professionals-
already out there.”

"But we’ll do this only when we
havea legitimate service to provide.
its not fair to try to drum up
business.”

Various colleges throughout the
university offer courses in the
division, including graduate
programs.

“Everything we do is continuing
education in general," said
Langston. “The basic strength of a
university ought to be in its evening
classes.”

Title IX must mean more
than equality in sports

While the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution has not been approved, colleges and
universities are scrambling to meet a more
specialized regulation that prohibits sexual
discrimination. That measure is Title IX, one of
the Education Amendments of 1972, which is
intenrbd to fight discrimination at any in-
stitution that receives federal assistance.

The deadline for complying with Title [X is
June 21, and higher education officials have been
scrambling to prove that, if their schools still
have a few vestiges of chauvinism, those last

traces are being removed.

Most of the impact has been felt in collegiate
women’s athletics, became that area is the one
where continuing discrimination is most visible.
Women’s sports programs are beginning to get
enough money to start correcting the disparities,
and few schools will lose federal money because
of a lack of effort in upgrading women’s

a th letic s.

The attention toward sports and Title [X has

requirements.

been so great that there is a chance that other,
more important facets of universities are being
ignored. Though it takes more work to detect,
sexism in, academic departments and in ad-
ministrative circles probably has graver social
consequences than the number of grants-in-aid a
basketball team has.

As an effort to end sexual discrimination, Title
IX must apply to many things. Quasi-official
practices of channeling students of one gentler
into certain schools (such as women into nur-
sing), overall discrimination between the
visitation hours of men’s and women’s residence
halls and sexist disparities in selecting students
for professional schools and faculty should all be
considered relevant to the regulation’s

As campus officials prepare to face the June 22
deadline, they should keep in mind that Title IX
has greater intent than to just encourage the

growth of successful sports programs regardless

of the sex of the participants.

Letters to the Editor

 

 

Subtle serpent

In America, the people are
motivated and dominated by a belief
in freedom. If you try and correct
someone, sooner or later he will tell
you, “You have no right to tell me
anything I am free just like you."

Freedom has become an excuse to
become a mentally deranged freak,
which, to me, is characteristic of the
“Gay Lib Rights” mov’ernent.

My letter is ..éi' contradictory

viewpoint to a Kerifél‘editOrial'dafed '

March 16 (anda Kernel article dated
March 31) entitled “Now is the right
time to form a gay group at UK."

Before the world community of
Islam in theWest can fulfill its
mission, which is to utterly destroy a
diabolical mentality that is rapidly
consuming our society, I must ex-
tract a paragraph from the Kernel
editorial in order to show just how
subtle that serpent really is. he
whiSpers, “It's sad that an otherwise
progressive institution would try to
use such laws (as sodomy) to stifle a

significant number of people.
Universities should not be concerned
with whether the sexual habits of
their students are illegal, a very
peripheral issue here, and one that
would have to be prover in-
dividually."

Let us see what is meant by a
progressiveinstitution. According to
the Random House dictionary, it
would mean an institution concerned
“with the development ,or
cumulative, improvement of an
individual one civilian " .«~

If an institution‘dbes not hate a
definite guideline as to what is right
and wrong, good and bad, natural
and unnatural, then that institution
cannot be called progressive
because it has not established a base
from which to progress.

Our institutions must begin to
accept the mathematical axiom that
a whole is equal to tthe sum of its
parts and no part is greater than the
whole. Our entire life must be
dedicated to the survival nad con-
structive development of that
whole.We must be willing to

strengthen our will in order to check
any bilogical urges which
aredetrimental tto the constructive
development of the whole.

The writer of the Kernel editorial
states that “Universities should not
be concerned with whether the
sexual habits of their students are
illegal.” I agree with him.

The question is not a legal one and
the universities should not view it as
such.

The question is: how long can
humanity survive. with th a
poisonous ideas being‘ constantly
injected into our enviomment.

The answer is not long. It is time
for our teaching institutions to take a
bold stand against homosexuality
and all other perversion.

I don't if the government stops
giving is money, and individuals
stop supportting us, or anything else
that might happen, this university
should close its doors beforr it
degrades itself by financing or in
any way enhancing the program of
an organization whose ideology,
once accepted in society, must

inevitably foretell the doom of that
society.

Grasping straws: the Iranian response

In its attempt to justify continuing
U.S. support of the fascist regime of
the Shah of Iran the Kernel like a
drowning man has grasped feebly at
a number of straws. To the drowning
man any reed, however feeble, looks
good. The Kernel grasps at a
number of these reeds one after
anotha' before it sinks under the
weight of its burden.

 

comment

 

The first reed the Kernel grasps at
is an analogy. “Certainly it is absurd
to imply that the United States
supports, for example, the torture of
prisoners during interrogation, just
as it is absurd to claim that
America‘s alliance with Great
Britain condoned an ancient policy
of corporal punishment for
misdemeanors, recently outlawed

I Good evenlu. These are

by the Isle of Man.“

First of all it must be said that
there is quite a difference between
the systematic torture of hundreds
of thousands of people for no crime
at all and corporal punishment for
misdemeanors. Secondly the U.S.
government did not organize the
overthrow of a British government
which was anti-corporal punish-
ment, nor does the U.S. provide the
British government with switches.

In the case of Iran the U.S. CIA
organized the overthrow of a
popularly elected government tthat
was not fascist and did nott practice
torture of political prisoners. The
U.S. organized and trained the
Iranian secret police, the SAVAK, in
the methods of torturing prisoners
during interrogation. The U.S.
government sends large amounts of
military hardware to the Shah each
year and provides him with tens of
thousands of American advisors in
order to enable him to continue his

demand“ si.ooo.ooo not to blow in the

policies.

What is “ahead” here is not the
implication that the U.S. supports
“the torture of prisoners during
interrogation" but the Kernel’s
trivial analogy with corporal
punishment on the Isle of Man.

But even the Kernel is cleva'
enough to realize that this reed will
not keep them afloat so before going
under they grasp at another. “How
much better would it be to withdraw
support of Iran to favor that coun-
try‘s enanies, all of whom affect
similarly ugly trappings of the
police state (a condition that is
possibly the norm today)?”

We ask in return how much better
would it be if Iran could conduct her
internal affairs free from int-
terferance by either superpower, the
U.S. or the Soviet Union, or any
other foriegn country. Thsi is what
the Iranian peoples democratic
struggle has been about for the last

70 years. This is just one example of
the Kernel’s racist superpower
mentality.

The Kernel must claim that “those
stupid arabs would never be able to
managetheir own affairs. If the U.S.
stepped out the Soviets would
naturally have to step in and take
over.”

Before going down for the third
time the Kernel grasps at the
weakest straw or should we say they
grasp at thin air. “Many of the
organizatiors who denounce the
crimes of the Iranian government
support terrorist groups who
massacre civilians, take and kill
hostages and threaten the
population a country, Israel, with
extermination.”

This is the logical fallacy known as
argranentum ad hominern or the
appeal to prejudice. Since the
Kernel cannot make a logical case
for its point and is forced to admit

Elsewhere. Calumet fun. In

“U.S. support of Iran is nothing to
brag about from a humanitarian
viewpoint” they try to appeal to
people’s emotions. After all
everybody hates terrorists like the
Shah who massacre civilian
populations and threaten an entire
country with extermination. The
Kernel makes the sinister im-
plication that many of the people
who support the Shah are murderers
no better than the Shah himself.

The Iranian peoples democratic
anti-imperialist movement consists
of many organizations and in-
dividuals. None of them advocates
the massacre of civilian population
or extermination of the people of
Israel. If the Kernel makes such
charges they should name the
“many” organizations they are
referring to and offer some
evidence.

Americans who have doubts about
whether the CIA carries out the
activities described in the leaflet
passed out by the demonstrators
should have received a valuable
lesson the night of 'l‘umer’s speech.
Turner refused to speak until the
police had cleared the Student
Center of anyone who locked like
they might disagree with him. And
during his speech Turner who wt:
brought ha'e by the Univa'sity
speak a an “open forum” would
only answer questions from his
coterie friends who grouped around
h'sn in front of the ballroom. But
leave it to the Kernel to come to the
astounding conclusion that free
speech is endangered in this country
became peofle attempt to pass out
leaflets at the CIA directo'r speech
or would hdd up anti-CIA placards,
or deliver ”long, oratorical

_ qrestlons"

As far the issue of outside
agitators is concerned, the CIA
employs countless personnd in Iran.
Even Iran’s prime minister has a
long history as a CIA agent. There
are currently over 30,000 U.S.
military advisors in Iran. The Shah
received over $6 billion in arms from
the U.S. last year. These personnel
and weapons are there for the ex-
press purpose of changing the
Iranian people their democratic
rights, and in spite of all of these
facts which are public knowledge
the Kernel has the gall to classify
Iranian students who protest U.S.
interference in their country as
outside agitators!

The Kernel claims that the
“mtside agitators drew the at-
tention they desired." This is clearly
untrue since the Kernel, like the rest
of the media, has ignored the facts
which the Iranian students were
trying to call attention to. Before all
else they want people to be aware of
the recent mass uprising against the
regime in Iran, which the Shah’s
troops ruthlessly supressed,
sleightering approximately 2,000
people in Tabriz alone. Americans
may think this has nothing todowith
them, but if so they ignore the
evident: that the U.S. is increasing
the number of military advisors in
Iran in response to these tremors in
the Shah‘s increasingly shaky rule.
Thcre are already many more ad-
visors in iron than there were in
Vietnam before full-scale U.S. in-
tervention. Americans who don't
want another Vietnam will close
their eyes to U.S. involvemem in
Iran at their own risk.

commentary

The fascist Pahlevi regime
was put in power by a CIA-
engineered coup, the
American gova-nment keeps
the Shah in power with
billions of dollars in arms

eva'y year and the Shah's

notorious secret police is
trained by the CIA. And all
this is done in the name (i
“human rights.”

Americans may think these
things have nothing to do with
them. If so they are ignoring
the situation in Iran just as
they ignored the situation in
Vietnam until it becme a full-
scale war and they could
ignore it no longer. The
number of American military
advisers in Iran is already
triple the 10,000 in Vietnam
before full-scale U.S. in-
tervaition there, and the
number of advisers who will
be in Iran by 1980 is estimated
at 50,000-60,000 or more (New
York Times, Aug. 2, 1975).

Americans are already the
second largest national
minority in Iran, behind the
Armenian community
(Newsweek, Mar. 1, 1976). We
think it is in the interests of
Americans to learn the
following facts about our
country and the U.S.
government.

.lll‘llbl' '

Since Aug. 19, 1953, when
the CIA staged its coup to
ovathrow the poprlar Dr.
Mossadegh and bring back
the Shah, who had fled to
Rome, Washington has sold
the Shah all the arms he has
sought, so as to bu'ld up a
giant military machine in the
service of U.S. corporate
interests. Since 1972, the
Iranian regime hm become
the number one customer for
U.S. arms, buying half of all
U.S. arms sold abroad at the
rate of $10.4 billion. Became
of the enormous quantity and
extreme sophistication of
these arms, the backward
Iranian regime is incapable
of handling them, and U.S.
military advisers are pouring
into Iran in order to operate
the military hardware and
train the regime’s military
(Time, Aug. 16, 1976).

Today, Iran’s economy is
once again plungal into a
deep crisis. All principal
economic sectors: indrstry,
agriculture, internal com-
merce, foreign trade, small
busines, etc., face ever-
increasing difficulties.

In a country devastated by
widespread hunger and
malnutrition, the Shah spemk

. $10.4 billion to buy arms from

the U.S. In a country engulfed
in a depression which has
forced thousands of small
businesses into bankruptcy,
the Shah spent millions to
subsidize Pan American,

Germany, so they won’t go
bankrupt. In- a country
severely suffering from lack
of jobs, education, housing
and health care, the Shah

deepening of the Iranian
Moslem people‘s struggle
against the Shah and U.S.
imperialism stands witness to
our people’s deep awareness
of the regime’s anti-Islamic
and anti-people nature. In the
past few months several
demonstrations have been
staged by Moslems protesting
the puppet regime of the
Shah. The Shah's armed
forces have ruthlessly sup-
pressed these popular
demonstrations, leaving
more than 500 dead and many
thousands wounded or
arrested. The Shah's regime
resorts to the most vile
methods of repression in
order to prolong its despotic
rule.

police, 20,000 strong, have
been expertly trained by the
Israeli Secret Service, the
CIA and the Agency for In-
ternational Developed
Agents” (Washington Post,
May 29, 1976).

SAVAK activities are not
restricted to the boundaries
of Iran. SAVAK has a wide
network of intelligmce ap-
paratus abroad, where
Iranian students or other

opponents of the regime are

active. The cooperation of the
CIA and FBI with SAVAK has
been documented in the
recent testimony of Assistant
Secretary of State Atherton
(Senate Subcommittee
hearing E5463 and E5464), the
Shah’s interview on CBS’ 60

Minutes, Oct. 24, 1976 and
Jack Anderson’s column on
Oct. 26, 1976.

The UK Dean d Students
dfice and the UK Police are
also being very cooperative
The arrests of 12 demon-
strators at CIA chief Stan-
sfield Turner’s speech on
April 12 went beyond an at-
tempt to silence those
protesting the crimes of the
CIA. The full intentions of the
UK authorities are suggested
by what happened last week,
when one of those arrested
had to appear in court. 01‘-
ficers of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service also
showed up to check the
student's identity and
revealed that they had been
called by UK Police detective
Robert Abrams.

Press coverage of the affair
has stressed that certain d
the demonstrators gave the
police false names, bit it did
not cover the reasons why.
The disclosure to SAVAK of
the names of politically ac-
tive students is a great
danger to them. Eva: if the
authorities cannot deport
them, their families will be
jeapordized, they could lose
their jobs, have their
property confiscated or have
young family members
imprisoned by the Iranian
government.

Imprisonment in the Shah’s
jails is a grim prospect in-
deed. The July 29, 1976
Washington Post said,

“There is abmdant evidence’

showing the systematic use of
impermissible methods of

psychological and physical
torture of political suspect
during interrogation." The
Jan. 19, I975 Londin Sunday
Times said, “Torture of
political prisoners is
regrlarly practiced in Iran."
Martin Enuals, secretary of
Amnesty International, has
remarked, “No country in the
world has a worse record in
human rights than Iran."

In light of all this. the
repressive acts of the UK
Dean of Students and the UK
Police are no trivial matter.

The Organization of Iranian
Moslem Students at UK
announces that, despite the
barriers imposed by the UK
Police, we will continue our
struggle for human rights and
dignity. On Wednesday, May
3, we will stage a demon-
stration to condemn the UK
Dean of Students office and
the UK Police. We ask all
opm-minded, freedom-loving
individuals or groups to join
hands with us to condemn the
actions of the UK Police.

We believe that the in-
terests of the Iranian people
are no different from those of
the American people. We do
not blame the American
people for the crimes visited
upon the Iranian people, but
we do hold the U.S. govern-
ment responsible for the
miserable situation in our
country, and we call on the
American pmple to support
our just struggle.
