"I think this constitutes a serious

“But I can't really say how the elections

Why have
36;

elections?

   
   
  
  
  
 
  
  
   

It seems that even when Student
Government (SG) finds enoUgh
candidates for its election, the
candidates can’t quite remember
all the campaigning essentials.

Eleven winners in last week’s
elections forgot to file expenditure
reports. The reports must be filed
by 5 pm. on the last day of voting,
according to SG election'rules.

Sixteen alternates also forgot to
file the reports, meaning that about
27 per cent of those running for
elected office did not file the
required reports. The reports
require only a simple accounting of

all expenditures made during the
campaign.

With such fiscal responsibility
already being demonstrated by our
newly elected campus senators,
there’s no telling what they’ll do
next year when they get their
hands on 56’s $10,000 budget. But
now the question arises whether
these persons will ever get their
hands on the money, which is
allocated to 56 by the University
from its general fund.

The elections are now subiect to
challenge, making the entire
election process a waste of

  

everyone‘s time and money.

What’s the point of having an
election at all if those who are
elected do not serve because the
candidates can't follow simple
election rules?

The elections cost $6 ap-
proximately 5800 this year. Yet, if
the challenges are made and go
through about onevfourth of the
entire student senate will be made
up of the students’ third or fourth
choices—not their first choice.

Why not iust pot the "names in a
hat and save $800?

essenfial
tasks

 

By Mary Dunn

 

April 21, has been designated as
National Secretaries Day. Many bosses
will present their secretary with a rose
for her desk or a box of doughnuts for
the morning coffee break. This ritual
observance makes the comparison with

another "national day” grimly
humor0us. I refer, of course, to
Mothers Day.

In both cases, we have a male
dominated system cooing sweetly at the
women who perform the life-
maintaining jobs for them and either
receive no pay, in the case of wives, or
are grossly underpaid in the case of
clerical workers. A rose, bottle of
perfume or doughnut is little comfort.

A look at census figures reveals an
interesting phenomenon. The 1900
census reported that 75 per cent of the
office workers in this country were
male. Pay was high in comparison to
industrial iobs. Office work had white
collar status. The 1970 census shows a
startling reversal—75 per cent of the
office workers are now female. And
according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, May 1971, the median USUaI
weekly wage for full-time clerical work
was lower than that in every type of
blue-collar work.

In 70 years the office work sector of
the workforce has‘grown from 200,000 in
1900 to 14 million in 1970. Today office
workers (bookkeepers, secretaries,
stenographers, cashiers, ‘bank tellers,

 

 

tile clerks, telephone operators, office
machine operators, payroll and time
keeping clerks, postal clerks, recep»
tionists, stock clerks and typists)
comprise 18 per cent of the employed in
this country. As the nature of office
work changed from white collar "close
to management" work to a routinized,
increasingly automated low status
work, it became a female occupation.

Only a small percentage of clerical
workers are unionized. This is
because: l. unions have, in the past,
failed to actively organize and recruit
among women office workers and 2.
where office workers have unionized,
they have often found their experience
within unions to be a repetition of their
iob situation.

However, unions still provide the
most effective way for workers to
collectively struggle for better working
conditions. It is important for all
workers to support unionizing drives.
Thcse women who are unionized and,
thus, able to address some of their
problems, have, nevertheless, had to be
strong to combat the tradition of male
domination of unions within female
preponderant industries.

All too often this male leadership
helps perpetuate the myths about
working women which are widespread
in the United States. These myths often
affect a woman's chances of finding a
iob and once employed, they keep her
from even the most basic iob security
and benefits, not to mention a salary
equal to male employees. The
following are a few of these myths.

How many times have we heard these
when we approached our bosses about
raises and promotions!

A woman’s workplace has become
both her home and her iob. In many
working and poor families, the woman
must work outside the home iust to
make ends meet. In 1969, 30.5 million,
or 43 per cent of women 16 years of age
and older, were working in the US.
Women comprised 38 per cent of all
workers. Forty per cent of married
women, living with their husbands,
were workers. And, in 5.4 million
families, women were the sole support.

Myth: A woman’s place is in the
home. A woman’s workplace has
become both her home and her iob. in
many working and poor families, the
woman must work outside the home
iust to make ends meet. In 1969. 30.5
million, or 43 per cent of women 16
years of age and older, were working in
the US. Women comprised 38 per cent

of all workers. Forty per cent of
married women, living with their
husbands, were workers. And, in 5.4

millions families, women were the sole
support.

Myth: Working women are young,
single and have a iob in order to earn a
little extra pin money. The average
working woman is 38 years old,
married and working for the same
reason men work-economic necessity.

Three-fifths of all families in which
wives work would have incomes of less
than $7,000 a year without the wife’s
earnings. Forty per cent of working
women are single, divorced, widowed

 

or separated and must work to support
themselves.

Myth: In the past women have been
discriminated against; but things are
changing—women have come a long
way. The long way has taken a step
backward. The earning gap between
men and women has widened over the
last twenty years. Women now earn 57
per cent of what men earn. Twenty
years ago women earned 64 per cent of
men’s salary. The gap has increased 7 '
per cent over the last two decades.

Women office workers are separated
from each other by the very nature of
theirwork. Many women work in small
offices where they are isolated from all
but the one or two other women in that
office or building. This has made the
opportunity for women office workers
to come together to solve their common
problems difficult, but in many places.
it has begun to happen: 9 to 5 in Boston,
Women Office Workers in New York
City, Cleveland Women Working in
Cleveland. These organizations in-
vestigate office work conditions in their
cities, hold educational forums, offer
caunseling on job rights. They act as
pressure groups on government
agencies to enforce equal employment
laws and on companies to change unfair
policies.

Women office workers who are in.
terested in working for rights and
respect for Lexington working women,
should contact: Women at Work in
Lexington, PO. Box 304, Lexington,
Ky. 40501.

Opinions from inside and outside the University

  

 

 

 

UK is

 

By Margaret Roach

 

(Editor’s note: This commentary is the
first of a two-part series dealing with
wages paid to University employes.)

The University of Kentucky claims to
be a "public” institution run to benefit
the whole people. But the University is
iustanoth er big business enterprise run
by the Board of Trustees—Kentucky's
rich and super-rich. The slave wages
paid to its employes are a clear in
dication of the class interests the
University represents—and it is not
ordinary working people.

The recent slash in UK’s budget
request has been taken out on the
University staff by reducing the annual
pay raise from 10 percent to five per-
cent. A year ago talk of union
organizing began among workers at U K
after the University cut janitorial staff
and called for a faculty raise without
mentioning staff. In response to the
protest the University came up with an
8.5 percent raise. This increase did
nothing to end poverty wages at UK.

The UK Workers Organizing Com
mittee circulated a petition last spring
calling for a Si per hour wage increase
for h0urly employees and an end to
staff reductions. The petition was en-
dorsed by over 700 employes. After this
the administration voiced its "con-
cern" for the non-academic employes

 

 

 

 

 

 

just another 'big business’

and we were promised a 10 percent
raise.

Now we’re down to five percent (oh,
pardon me don’t forget the three-
fourths of one per cent merit
raise).Let’s compare this five per cent
to the cost of living increases. A
Chamber of Commerce report states
that Lexington's cost of living ranked
the highest among Kentucky cities last
year and is higher than the national
average—food costs up 9.8 per cent ,
meat pricesup375 per cent, utilities up
29.8 per cent, housing up 9.6 per cent.

Right here at UK what happened to
our July, l975 8.5 per cent raise? That
same summer Blue Cross-Blue Shield
rates went up 45 per cent. (Much of the
money raked in by Blue Cross-Blue
Shield will go back to the University in
monthly payments to the Hospital.) The
University hospital rates are the
highest in Lexington according to a
Lexington Herald study. Charges per
dayincreased l8 per cent last year. The
UK cafeteria increased certain menu
items by an average of 22 per cent. And
now the latest increase is major
medical insurance rates, up by 27 per
cent. Many UK staff are going without
any kind of health insurance because
they can't afford it on UK's wages.

The proposed five per cent raise is
really rotten when you consider the
subsistence pay UK gives in the first
place. For a long time the University

has paid the worst wages in Lexington
for an employer its size. Employes in
the University system are the lowest
paid state workers inthe entire Com
monwealth of Kentucky. UK starts the
bulk of its employes at minimum
wage $2.20 per hour. (Some students
are paid less than mimimum wage by
UK using workstudy exemptions.) The
minimum wage was $4,160 annually in
l974and $4,576 in 1975. This is below the
US government poverty level for a
familyof four (setat55,038in 1975). The
first three pay grades are below
poverty level and the overwhelming
majority of UK non academic hourly
employes tall in these categories.

University salaries have been so low
over the years that some employes
have been here over 10 years and still
don’t make $3 per hour. Skilled
workers- » electricians, plumbers,
carpenters, etc.~-make $4 to $6 per
hour less than unionized workers.

In many cases a brand new employe
may start out earning as much as one
who has been at U K for a year or more.
in Julyof this yearthe lowest pay grade
will increase 16 per cent while those
who have been at UK for years get only
tive per cent. The lowest pay grade
will be up to the minimum wage other
state workers have been earning for a
year. This is still at poverty level.

Now let’s compare a raise in poverty
wages to the recent salary increases

voted by the Kentucky legislature to
"state leaders" the errand boys of
Kentucky’s rich and super rich:
governor 835.0(1) to $39,500 13 per cent,
lieutenant governor, attorney general,
secretary of state, $22,500 to $27,900 24
percent; Kentucky Supreme Court
Justices $31,500 to $39,000 24 per cent;
state legislators daily pay $25 to
$50 I00 per cent. interiem pay $400 to
$550 :13 per cent. The $5,400 annual
increase for lieutenant governor equals
one years salary for many UK em
ployes.

Then there is the question of the
percentage raise. This method in.
creases the gap between those at the
top of the pay scales and those at the
bottom. Five per cent of President Otis
A. Singletary’s appr0ximate $55,000
annual salary is $2,750 while five per
cent of a UK employe earning $5,000 is
$250 annually.

All over the US. public employes
have united into unions and won higher
wages and better working conditions.
This is why the University of Kentucky,
the governor and the legislature are so
opposed to collective bargaining for
public employes in Kentucky. It is not a
question of no money, it is a question of
who the money goes to.

Ford wants to delay
subsidies, Democrats say

I'IIIIAIII‘ILPHIA (APi—Two Democratic presidential can-
didats said Sunday that President Ford wants to delay the revival
«1 federal campaign subsidies because he doesn’t need the money
for his own Republican race.

But Jimmy Carter said Congress was at fault and predicted that
the aid pribably won’t be restored before the primary elections are
over.

Carter, Sen Henry M. Jackson of Washington, Rep. Morris K.
Udall of Arizona, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace and Sen. Frank
Church of Idaho spent an hour arswering questions on a nationally
televised interview program.

All but Church are on the ballot in Pennsylvania's presidential
primary Tuesday, a [though Wallace complained that his candidacy
is not getting proper attention.

“I wish that the national news would dictate that I am a can-
didate." he said. “...I want the people of Pennsylvania to know I
am running."

Portugese votes indicate
conservative backlash

I.ISI:ti.\. Portugal t.\I’I-r- First scattered returns in Portugal’s
parliamentary election Sunday night indicated a conservative
backlashin the Roman Catholic north against leftist leadership in
Lisbon.

Results from a handful of districts appeared to confirm the
forecast that the conservative Social Democratic Center (CDS)
party was effectively winning support for its campaigi line that
"things have gone far enough."

Also showing strength alongside the CDS was the centrist
Popular Democratic party tPPD) which had attacked the
“Marxists" during the campaign.

ltetums from the big population centers where the Socialists and
(‘ommunists hold sway were still being counted.

Election officials estimated the voter turnout at 80 to 90 per cent
of the nation's 15.5 million eligible voters.

Preelection studies had suggested the Socialists would lead but
would fall short of enough votes to form a government by them-
selves.

Average family pays one-tenth

of its income for medical care

it .1811 I.\(;'I‘ti.\ (.\I' i» — A presidential panel. calling rising health
costs “a national economic problem." reported Sunday that the
avera ge family now pays 10 per cent of its total income for medical
care.

The average hospital visit cost $1.017 last year, the Council on
Wage and Price Stability said. and no end is in sight to record high
inflation in the health-care industry.

The council issued a :iO-page report showing that. between 1964
and 1971 . the average bill for a simple appendectomy had risen 80
per cent. from $392 to $1.063.

During the same period. the report said. costs went up 126 per
cent. from 51.449 to $3.280. for treatment of heart attack; up 64 per
cent. from “.559 to $2.357 for breast cancer treatment; and up 53
per cent. from 55:7 to $807. for maternity care.

The council cited the problem of rising health care costs which
ha ve been highlighted in congressional hearings. but proposed no
solutions.

instead. the council plans public hearings at three sites yet to be
chosen this summer to hear what local governments. companies
unions and health providers are doing to manage doubledigit in-
flation. said Director Michael H. Moskow.

Sigma Nu beer blast attracts
crowd of more than l,000

It) KIILI'I'II sthssos
Kernel Staff Writer

It all started last Friday af-
ternoon with about 20 men
standing on the back porch of a
t'ratemity house chanting for
beer. And before it was over
more than 1,000 persons had
invaded the yard. leaving behind
mounds of trash and :30 empty
beer kegs.

The eighth installment of the
semesterly AIIGreek Beer Blast
was nonetheless a success. ac-
cording to David Carr, social
chairmanof Sigma Nu fraternity,
which hosted the event.

can, who was responsible for
handling the details of the party
and coordinating . the event.
estimated the crowd at around
3,000 "not all at the same time,
but just in and out all afternoon.

”There must have been 3,000
there." he said. “That's the only
way we could have gotten rid of
all that beer."

By “all that beer" Carr meant
approx imately 750 gallons bought
by 28 campus (ireek
organizations for the blast. 'I‘hat
amount is about average for
these affairs. he said.

He was rather amazed.
however. at the speed at which it
was consumed. "We calculated
that they drank about 250 gallons
an hour."

The crowd behaved well. ac-
cording to Carr. The only trouble
Cit me when people began shoving
their way to the kegs.

"I was trying to pour beer and
they all started shoving." said
one participant. “’I‘hey knocked
meintoa tree." However he later
said he was a bit "unsteady" at

that particular moment.

Aside from that. no one
registered any complaints.

“I‘ve been going to these things
for two years and this is the best
weather I‘ve ever seen for one."
said one participant.

Another was so inspired by the
wea ther he attempted to drink an
entire keg alone. In an interview
late Friday night he said he
tinally admitted defeat after
linishing only about l8 cups.

(‘arr said he had been a little
worried about possible com-
plaints from neighbors about the
band which played for the party.
"(Inc year the band got a little
nasty. and the neighbors called
the police." he said. "We had half
the campus police down here
telling the band to clean up their
acts."
