Guthrie’s widow promotes public recognition of disease

By SUZANNE DL'RHAM
Copy Editor

Marjorie Guthrie, widow of
folksinger Woody Guthrie, spoke
yesterday at an afternoon seminar
on the cause of her husband’s death,
Huntington‘s disease (HD).

The conference, held in the
Continuing Education Center, was
sponsored by the College of
Medicine‘s neurology department
and the Committee to Combat
Huntington's Disease. a national
organization.

Guthrie, president of the national
committee, stressed the need to
publicize HD because in the past it
has carried “a great stigma.“ This
stigma was caused by the grotesque
spasms and personality disorders
the disease causes, symptoms many
people used to associate with mental
illness.

In fact, Guthrie said, “it has been
documented“ that women in 17th
century New England who were
thought to be bewitched actually
suffered from HD.

In addition to this stigma, much
misinformation has surrounded the
disease, Guthrie said. It is a

hereditary disease but many people
thought mly women or only men
could have it. In reality. Guthrie
said either sex of any racial or
ethnic background can have HD.

Because of the misinformation
and stigma, HD has been
“misdiagnosed“ many times, ac-
cording to Guthrie. For a long time,
people with HI) assumed they should
live in a mental hosptial until they
died.

For example, Guthrie said her
husband “was in and out of mental
hospitals for IS years~only because
it was assumed he would be a mental
vegetable by the end of his life."

Guthrie organized her committee
in 1967, “shortly before Woody died."
She said it strives for a “team ap-
proach" in bringing HD to the at-
tention of the medical profession.
This “team“ comprises
neirrologists, social workers and
researchers. she said.

Guthrie said her committee
”doesn‘t know how widespread" HD
is but “we‘re looking for families
with this disease.“ She added that
researchers are “nowhere near a

Law faculty studies al

By DICK GABRIEL
Assistant Managing Editor

Law school students have won a
temporary victory in their battle to
change a school registration policy.

Nineteen faculty members
yesterday passed three unanimous
motions which are designed to in-
vestigate and clarify the law
school’s student employment policy.
Law school officials had previously
required full time students to sign a
form stating that they will work at
outside jobs no more than 15 hours
per week.

But student opposition was strong
and vocal, so faculty members met
with two student representatives
and Robert Jaffe, Student Bar
Association (SBA) president, to
discuss possible alternatives.

The two representatives, second-
year students Bob Vice and Eva
Crowe, both presented three-minute

Vol. LXVIII, Number 68

arguments to the faculty members.
Jaffe then introduced an anonymous
poll by which law school officials
could determine if, indeed, there is a
problem with students who have an
overloaded work schedule.

Following the presentations and
discussim, the faculty members
passed motions which recom-
mended that:

— the survey be conducted;

—- the matter of clarification of the
American Bar Associaation (ABA)
standard .concerning student em-
ployment be referred to the law
school Academic Status Committee,
which will study the rule and make
an appropriate recommendation,
and;

—~all students who did not sign the
employment form be deemed
registerable and that the exisiting
signed forms be either returned to
the students or destroyed.

“We all want to comply to ABA

William-r

NOV 1 71976

guidelines," Vice said. The ABA
established the registration policy
as an accreditation standard. “None
of us want to lose our accreditation.
But is it necessary to comply in this
fashion?"

“Before we start prying into
personal lives," Crowe said, “there
should be some showing of some
justification for doing this. Students
have the right to a life other than the
law school."

Law school Dean Thomas P.
Lewis explained that law school
policy had previously limited
students to a 20-hour work week. The
15-hour limit was decided during a
meeting of the ABA’s Council on
Legal Education last summer.

“It's possible that the council was
more concerned with the institution,
rather than the individual,” Lewis
said.

Lewis explained to a group of law
students last Thursday that the

portive services“ are available.

Treatment consists of medication
(sedatives) to control the in-
voluntary spasms. Services are
available to help the HD victim live
at home and maintain a semblance
of normality. These include daycare
centers, Meals—on—Wheels and
visiting nurses, which are available
in Lexington, according to Dr. H.
Douglas Jameson, associate
neurology professor and coordinator
of yesterday's conference.

Jameson said there are 63 HD
cases at the Medical Center, in-
volv ing 34 families. This number has
increased in recent years because
more families are coming in for
diagnosis, said Jameson, who has
been at the hospital for 10 years.

“People used to stay home or go to
nursing homes or mental hospitals—
— now they come to a doctor and ask
‘what can you do to help me and my
family?‘ "

Of the roughly 100 people at-
tending the seminar, Jameson
estimated 60 per cent were
“families, relatives and patients
who have or think they may have
HD.“ He added that if a person

suspects he or she has HD, that
person should go to his or her family
doctor first and then “get in touch
with" the Medical Center.

Guthrie also stressed the need for
people with suspected HD to get in
touch with their doctors or write to
her committee for more information
on the disease. The committee’s
address is Committee to Combat
Huntington’s Disease, Inc., 250 W.
57th St., New York, NY, 10019.

Calling herself a “full—time
volunteer" for the cause of
publicizing HD, Guthrie has recently
been appointed chairperson of
HEW‘s Committee for the Control of
Huntington Disease and Its Con-
sequences. She said this
organization is using HD as a
prototype for promoting
neurdogical research in general.

Ending the interview, Mrs.
Guthrie said her son, Arlo, had his
story told in the movie “Alice’s
Restaurant” and recently her
husband's story was filmed in
“Bound for Glory.“ Now, she says,
she wants to tell her “story" and it is
called “Making People Live with
Reality."

(Editor‘s note: this is the first ar-
ticle 'm a three—part series on the
Blue Grass Trust.)

In 1955, a house at North Mill and
Second Streets across from the
Lexington Public Library, was
threatened with destruction to make
room for a parking lot. The house
had once been the home of John
Hunt Morgan, a Confederate general
who became famous for his raiding
parties during the Civil War.

A group of citizens, under the
name Foundation for the Preser-
vation of Historic Lexington and
Fayette County, joined and bought
the house, saving it from destruc-
tion. The group then restored the
house to its original grandeur and
today it is one of Lexington‘s major
touria attractions.

The foundation that rescued the

years.

“We question making an af-
firmative showing of compliance,"
Vice said yesterday. “I submit that
all we do is show a good faith

in compliance, we could use means
some students consider offensive."

Vice also pointed out thatthe ABA
definition of “full time student
doesn‘t take into account the per-
sonal finances of students.“

BGT guards old architecture

preserve a slice or more of old
Lexington, reflecting the city’s past
architecturally. In the BGT‘s in-
formation pamphlet, the value of
such preservation is expressed:

“Retaining our early architecture
makes apparent the age of the city,
the oldest cultural center west of the
Appalachian Mountains. The
uniqueness that makes Lexington
different from other cities is saved."

Preservation of days gone by is
not the only work the BGT hopes to
accomplish. In looking at the
present, the society recognizes the
needs of a growing and maturing
Lexington.

”We feel our contribution to the
modern Iexington is to get people,
members of all classes, to live in the
downtown area. rather than the
suburbs,“said BGT President John
Borrow.

"We appreciate what tourism and
urban renewal programs have done
and are capable of doing," he said.
“However, these two programs
alone cannot cure Lexington's
problans all by themselves. The

present condition of housing in the
downtown area will not bring people
back from the suburbs.

“This is a major part of the BGT’s
function, to help stimulate a rebirth
in the downtown neighborhoods. We
more or less play the middle ground
between wanting to preserve
historic Lexington and not wanting
to impede the progress of the
present. We walk a very thin line."

The BGT has done a great deal of
work with the Urban County Council
(UCC) in the areas of preservation
and urban planning. It has been
instrumental in the establishment of
a professional planning staff for the
Lexington-Fayette County Planning
Commission, a Board of Ar-
chitectural Review and - the
lexington-Fayette County Historic
Commission.

Through these agencies the BGT
has seen fair "historic d'aticts"
declared near the city's center. The
districts are Gratz Park, the
Western Suburb area, Old South Hill

Interview with former narc

raises a variety of questions

By P.-\TRI(‘K l). NAl'GllTUN

To have someone such as William
Canan as a cop is an insult to the
people of Lexington.

The above may seem to be a harsh
statement but in rereading the

commentary

 

sider the following: Canan stated
that “the tactical unit was disband-
ed after two years because of
political pressure due to deaths
attributed to directions being fol-
lowed by the tactical force. ’

He seems to imply that if it hadn t
been for those nasty politicians
getting upset about people dying
because of police tacticsthey would
have kept right on going.

Canan also states that “the mari-
juana arrests were selectively made
to influence legislators for revision
of the narcotics laws from a felony to

a misdemeanor. Has it gotten to
the point in this country where. no
matter what the reason. laws are
being enforced according to the
beliefs of the cops? I must say.
George Orwell wrote the book of the
century.

When Canan talks about his
arrests, he states that . . lknew it
was in their best interest anyway. As
a matter of fact, most arrested in the
campus area. especially the ones not
involved in narcotics, are still
friends of mine. It 5 amazing to me
the great powers that he has when it
came to knowing what‘s best for
everyone else.

As for the statement that most
people arrested, especially those not
involved in narcotics, are sitll his
friends. I can‘t help but wonder why
they were arrested in the first place.

(‘anan states that “policemen to a
very great extent reflect the atti-
tudes and mores of the community
in which they work] Try telling that

to someone from the City of Louis-
ville. and they will laugh their ass
off.

Throughout the article, Canan all
but comes right out and says that he
smokes pot as evidenced by his
answer to the question: “For legal
reaSons id rather not answer.” Not
to mention his childish appeal for pot
tobesent to him.

I can't help but wonder if Mr.
Canan has ever taken the time to
read the Bill of Rights and the
Constitution of the United States.
Apparently not. for if he had, it's
made very clear in both that
equality under the law is supreme -
and Mr. (‘anan obviously docsnt

Finally, Canan states that “I'm
not the son of a bitch that everyone
thinks l am ' Wanna bet‘.’

this was nota problem until students
were confronted with the form. The
Bulletin clearly states: “Any upper

What many students object to is

that the new policy on employment

as articulated in the forms was not
presented to us in a “reasonable
fashion." but merely appeared at
advance registration.

Thus. the problem did not arise
until then. It is not that the channels
for ”redress of grievances were not
open. There was just no need to
make use of them until then."

Finally. in reference to “equal

Transition

Non-Democrats likely
to fill cabinet post

WASHINGTON [AP] — President-elect Jimmy
Carter‘s new chief talent scout said yesterday he is
sure some Republicans or independents will be in the
Carter Cabinet. although no special effort is being
made to recruit them.

Hamilton Jordan, who managed Carter's Democrat-
ic presidential campaign and was named Monday to
lead the search for the faces of the new administra-
tion. said his job is to help Carter “find the best
people" and that there is no commitment to form a
bipartisan Cabinet.

But “I’m sure it’s inevitable," he added, “that there
will be some Republicans or independents in there. as
well as Democrats.

Meanwhile, the White House announced that as a
result of a telephone call between Carter and
President Ford, arrangements are being made for the
two men to confer in Washington next week. No date
has been set for the meeting, their first since the final
televised campaign debate.

It was also announced yesterday that Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger will fly to Carter‘s Plains.
Ga., home Saturday to brief the President-elect on
foreign policy. CIA Director George Bush briefs
Carter on Friday. Vice President-elect Walter
Mondale will attend both briefings.

E Presidential Press Secretary Ron Nessen said Ford
“t

and Carter spoke by telephone Monday night in what
was described as a cordial and businesslike conversa-
tion.

As the Carter transition team was formally moving
into its new quarters at the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, the President-elects first
White House appointee. Press Secretary Jody Powell.
was meeting in the White House with Nessen.

Carter‘s appointment of Jordan to run the recruiting
drive reduced the authority of transition coordinator
Jadt H. Watson Jr., who had been in charge of what
was called a “talent inventory” staff.

That staff, according to a spokesman for the
transition team, has been transferred to Jordan‘s
control, leaving Watson in charge of budget planning.
policy and liaison with federal agencies.

Key Carter aides Stuart Eizenstat and Bowman
Cutter will be working with Watson on transition
operations.

Jordan, at an impromptu news conference outside
thetransition offices, said he would be surprised if any
Cabinet appointments are announced soon.

Jordan said his team has defined the personal
qualities needed to fill each Cabinet post and is calling
people around the country for recommendations.

 

Carter said Monday they already have 6,000 to 7000
suggested names in their computer.

Carter and Mondale are beginning to call people
themselves, Jordan said, in addition to those being
contacted by the talent scouts.
