Defensive

By MIKE STRANGE
Assistant Sports Editor

Rupp Arena was a relatively calm
place Saturday night. Kentudry did
beat LSU 87-72, but—-

LSU guard Kenny Higgs, who has
a very “special” relationship with
the UK crowd, was NOT carried out
of the arena by a torch-carrying
lynch mob.

And LSU coach Dale Brown, who
did a partial strip-tease at last
year’s game, did NOT toss so much
as a cuff link onto the playing floor.

Ard the Tigers’ precocious fresh
man Durand Macklin, from
Louisville, did NOT score 40 points
or grab 32 rebounds, as he had done
on occasion this year.

Kentucky’s hero of last year, Mike
Phillips, did the most d'sturbing of
the peace, scoring 24 points, hauling
in 19 rebounds and adding two
technical fouk for good measure.

Kentucky beat the talented but
young Tigers, according to coach
Joe Hall, because it “played
generally good defense and played
well as a team.”

Sticking with an aggressive man-
to-man defense most of the way, the
Wildcats pressured LSU into
mising 42 of 65 field goal attempts,
and tint adds up to a poor 35.4 per
cent. It’s tough to beat anybody
when you shoot 35 per cent, as
Kentucky learned all too well
against Tennessee.

LSU’s flamboyant Higgs managed
22 points, but most of them came at
the foul stripe. Higgs and Macklin
together connected on but 10 of 33
field goal attempts. Higgs had only
two baskets in the second half, when
Kentucky was breaking open a tight
game, Macklin only one.

Coach Joe Hall credited his team's
defense ftr shutting off LSU’s
leading scorers.

“Givers and Lee did a good job on
Macklin and Larry Johnson did
andher supreme job on Higgs. But
then he does it every game.”

LSU’s Brown, who had predicted
earlier that his team would “never

Kentucky intimidated the Tigers.

“They just outhustled us and beat
us. T ey reminded me of that
Kentucky team when Grevey was a
swim.”

UK outrebounded the beefy
visitors, 51-3), many for baskets on
the offensive boards.

“Mike Phillips played a super
game on the boards, battling two or
three people,” Hall said. '

The game was closer than the
score indicated until Kentucky
broke it open in the lastfive minutes.

LSU scored first when 7-foot fresh-
man center Rick Mattick rolled in a
hook shot and had built a 17-10 lead
after eight minutes when Hall called

Expect a wait
Getting the jump

“It’s about to drive us crazy.”
Betty Winchester was talking about
the bitter cold weather plaguing the
Eastern United States—nothing out

' of the ordinary.

But Mrs. Winchester detests the
sub-zero temperatures for a special
reason. She and her husband John
operate John Winchester’s Sunoco
Service station on South Broadway.
The station offers a 24-hour wrecker
service that has been in great
demand since a blast of Arctic air
froze Iexington recently.

“We’re still running two hours
behind,” Mrs. Winchester said. Her
husband couldn’t come to the phone.
He was “under a truck,” she said.
“Sometimes we‘ve been six to eight
hours behind. You’d think since the
weather let up we’d be able to get
caught up.”

Wrecker services have been
“snowed under” with requests for
battery jumps and tow jobs and for
some, it’s meant increased profits.
And a spokesman for a Sears
automotive outlet in Louisville said
he battery sales have been so good
“I’ve sold everything I can get my
hands at. I’ve run out three times
this week”

However, the Winchesters’ station
has been taking a beating. Their
seven tow trucks are constantly on
the move, pulling cars out of snow
drifts and off ice slicks, but it’s
costing them too much.

“You always have to hire extra
people for this weather," Mrs.
Winchester said. “It's eXtra busy
and with the roads the way they are,
the trucks move slower. The extra
people, plus the overtime the other
men put in, drive the profits way
down.”

McDonald’s Standard Service on
North Broadway offers a wrecker
service from 0 am. to 6 pm. Em-
ploye Orin Manning said the
weather has caused problems but

the station manager has not added
extra personnel.

“N o, we’ve pretty well taken care
of it,” he said. “We’ve been towing,
jumping and selling batteries. In
this cold weather, it takes so much
juice to turn them (batteries) over,
they just can’t do it.”

A spokesman for 0.K. Se. vice
Garage said requests were so
numerous “we stopped taking calls.
For a while there, we were a week
behind.”

Tractor trailers in particular have
been a problem, the 0.K. man said.
“In those diesel engines, when that
oil gets cold, they won’t start. We
pulled one around New Circle Road

trying to get it to start. If it wasn’t
for the cold weathe., it’d be worth
it.”

UK United Way

hits new high,
receives $97,000

By HOLLY M. STONE
Kernel Reporter

The UK-United Way set two
records during its fund-raising
campaign this year, according to
drive chairman Harold Binkley.

Even though the University failed
to reach its $100,000 goal, this year’s
contributions totaling $97,000 did
exceed last year’s $94,000 figure.

“Another record we set this year
was in the number of contributors,”
Binkley said Three hundred more
staff, faculty and students gave
either (ash or made contributions
through weekly payroll deductions
than last year, he said.

Binkley said these two records
outweighed the fact that the goal
was not reached.

A dozen members of Jimmy Carter’s cabinet
took the oath of office yesterday in a White House
ceremony witnessed by the President, who called
them "a superb group." Three other Cabinet-level
nominees have yet to be approved by the Senate.
And the President still must choose a CIA director.

Vice President Walter F. Mondale arrived
yesterday in Brussels on the first diplomatic
mission of the new Carter administration. He will
visit America's major allies. The vice president is
on a 10-day global trip that will take him to five
European capitals and Tokyo for economic
discussions and introductory talks.

Congressional leaders are ready to work with
the Carter administration in forging a new
Cabinet-level Department of Energy, but efforts
are already bogging down in a welter of rival plans.
Carter proposed abolishing several agencies and
assigning their functions to the new department. A
possible alternative favored by some staff mem-
bers of the Senate Government Operations Commit-
tee is to create two new agencies.

State Rep. Arlo Tyler of Pocahontas, Ark., says
people who care enough about each other to live
together should marry, and to make that choice
financially advantageous, he proposed legislation
that would impose a $1,500 tax on unmam'ed
couples.

Frolickers streaming onto the ice on the Ohio
River stopped a 1,100 foot petroleum barge and a
Conrail train for nearly half an hour yesterday,
causing anxious moments. The barge captain said
be shut down when he got within 50 feet of the
walkers, who “cussed us out for trying to run them

off the ice."

Intramural officials

need improvement

Five-man basketball, perhaps the most hotly
contested sport in the intramural (IM) program,
begins this week anti many familiar problems

will resurface.
Slipshod officiating, limited

incommodious scheduling in most [M sports
have been the subjects of numerous complaints
in the past, due to the increasing number of

participants.

Campus recreation staffers, under the
direction of new 1M Director Ron Violette, have
striven to make improvments in the system in
order to accommodate the masses. But more
changes need to be made and, as usual, there

isn’t enough money.

Various scheduling systems are constantly
corsidered. This basketball season, IM team
managers will receive a weekly schedule, in
order to avoid the conflicts that usually ac-

company a long-range schedule.

Teams also have the option of rescheduling if
there is a conflict. This is a much-needed facet
and should eliminate unnecessary forfeits.

Facilities are not as much a

basketball as with other sports, although jerseys
look like rags at the end of the season and
basketballs have a way of vanishing. More
money would improve the IM program
generally, but it‘s not critical for basketball

facilities

Money does, however, become critical when it
concerns officials. “We got screwed” is a
familiar phrase during basketball season. An
increase in wages for [M referees would mean
Violette could be more selective.
provide more of an incentive for officials.

Beginning referees currently make $1.90 per
game. Experience brings a paltry $2.10. Trained
officials, many of whom have been paid five

times that much, are not going to take the time

facilities and

and effort to work for that kind of money, even if
it is part-time work.

One official said he never had worked a ,
basketball game in his life when he started :-

refereeing intramural games. And, one night he

found himself alone, calling a pressure-packed
fraternity tournament game. He said he had
absolutely no way of knowing if he cost the losing
ream the game.

The money paid current officials is obligatory

but in no way motivational. Higher salaries

would encourage more experienced officials to
apply, more conscientious work and, as a result,
better officiated games.

The Unviersity can’t spare any more money

but perhaps participants can. Violette estimates

problem with

there were 9,000 participants in fall sports alone
(this makes no exception for students par-
:icipa ting in different sports). If students paid a
slight fee, say 50 cents, whenever they par-
ticipated in an IM sport, they could compete
secure in the knowledge that an inadvertent
rotten call won’t bring their lM season to a
screeching halt.

The money could be used soley for the purpose

of paying trained, experienced officials. It would

It would also

take nothing less than a decent salary to lure
good officials into taking the abuse of refereeing
intramural sports.

After all, former NFL referee Tommy Bell got
his start in intramural athletics and he said it
was the toughest officiating he’d ever done.

Cheerleaders

Pompon girls add to game

By L. .VIORGANA

I would like to comment on the
letter that appeared in the Jan. 19
edition of the Kernel about the
Cheerleaders.

I have to agree that Kentucky
lacks the old fashion, megaphone
thumping type of cheerleader that

commentary

can keep a crowd razor sharp. But
also, I think the cheerleaders do a
spectacular job with their tumbling
and gymnastics, they are very
talented. and always make a good
appearance.

It would seem to me that there
should be a separation: have the
gy mnastics. and have several
cheerleaders who are there to keep
the tempo going.

It does seem that the cheerleaders
are preoccupied with getting into
their next position with their part-
ner. Why not turn the pompon girls
into real “yell leaders“ and add a
couple of boys?

I agree that constant yelling does
a good deal to spur a team on, and

 

also to rattle the other team. I have
seen very little from the student
body. especially if the team hits a
slump, it gets very quiet.

That is the time to really pick the
tempo up; it is obvious, at those
times, that the team needs help, they
aren‘t able to help themselves at
times, so why wouldn’t it lift them a
bit to hear the support of their fans?

I would also like to comment on
the orange throwing episode. I had
hoped that perhaps it had been done
by some fan of Tennessees trying to
make the Kentucky group look
tacky-and that’s what it did too.

I think the student body should
take care of those who do such stupid
things that reflect back on the entire
school, and most of all on the team.

Why make it hard on them? Just
think what Tennessee's fans will do
when we go down there...do you
think they will forget this?

It would have been so much nicer
to have them remember that
Kentucky was a good sport—and
they would want their lam to be as
good.

Kentucky has the greatest fans in
the world, and the other teams and
coaches are aware of this, but it all
goes for zero the first time the crowd
boos a decision, or throws something
onto the floor.

People are not thinking because I
find it very hard to believe that
anyone would want to injure a
player as an individual

Sure you hate Tennessee Orange,
but remember, there is a human
being inside that uniform, and he’s
playing the game just like our boys.

I wonder how we would react if
Rick or James, or any of those fine
boys were to be injured in any way
because a crazy fan hit them with
something. Kentucky is too big to
resort to booing and throwing things.

Again, I agree, Kentucky needs
some working cheerleaders,
someone to keep it going all the
time. This is not to take away from
the talents of the gymnastics, there
could be both.

Parking

The parking lot at Commonwealth
Stadium is a disgrace. Due to lack of
forethought on the part of the in-
dividual responsible. this lot is no
more than an ice skating rink. The
recent weather conditions have
made it nearly impossible for those
students living off campus to attend
classes safely.

It seems a shame that the welfare
and safety of the thousands of
students who are required to park at
Commonwealth Stadium is not
higher on the University's list of
priorities than it obviously is.

(in Tuesday. Jan. 18. one of the
stadium buss slid into a pick-up
truck and wrecked it. It cannot be
said that this could not have been
helped.

Last winter, under conditions not
nearlyas bad as these, there were so
many accidents at the stadium that
the UK Police could not handle
them.

This should have been an in-
dication to the person in charge of
this matter of the importance of
attempting to alleviate the hazar-
dous situation existing at Com-
monwealth Stadium.

We admit that the conditions at the
stadium are inconvenient; however,
there “a much more to it than that.
The efforts of a few helpful students
have kept the driving rows free of
cars stuck in the bumpy ice.

If one is lucky enough to get his
car parked safely, his troublea have
only begun. One then must risk life
and limb attempting to walk on
mountt of ice to the bus stop.

If the problem had been
thoroughly considered, instead of
wasting money and manpower
dumping cinders on the ice, the
stadium would have been plowed
and cleared of excess snow before
classes began.

With a little bit of common sense
and concern this entire situation and
its ensuing problems could have
been reduced in severity if not
avoided completely.

4,000 tickets for UK students for the
NCAA Mideast Regional.

the student share of that allocation
was not very large.

No matter who got the tickets, the
distribution process was a haphaz-

gave little consideration to distribu-

walked away with 50 tickets; admin-
istrators got more than their share,
and others were left empty~handed.

Perhaps the fact that this was
UK's first bowl game in many years
and that the Peach Bowl had never
sold out can be asserted as a partial
defense of the fiasco. There is little

quantity of tickets).

Recent history illustrates the point.
UK was allotted 14,000 tickets for the
Peach Bowl. Yet, those students who
were left standing in line knew that

 

defense, however. for the fiasco of
Spring 1975.

It was then that UK’s basketball
team earned its way to the NCAA
finals in San Diego. The ticket
committee decided to distribute 350
tickets of UK’s total allocation to
students through a lottery. But when
the lottery was held, only 244 tickets
were distributed. I suppose only the
two or three people who went behind
the committee's back know where
the other 106 tickets went. All I know
is that students were shortchanged.

The students were shortchanged
during the 1974 football season, too.
The 50-yardlina seats designated by
the committee for students were
given to the coaches and the
40-yardline seats designated for the

coaches were distributed to stu-
dents.
The ticket office explained that

 

someone must have made a mistake
in transcribing numbers, and of
course the coaches didn’t notice the
difference from the season before.

To their credit, the dean of
students staff has become more of a
watchdog where student tickets are
concerned. But it’s really a shame
that they have to be a watchdog at
all.

All of the incidents are behind us
now. The committee’s latest action
is a hopeful augury that the interests
are learning to respect each other.
When that respect develops, each of
the University‘s valid interests will
be well served.

I extend my personal thanks to the
committee for its unique action. In
particular. appreciation is due Hal
Haering. the student representative,
for spearheading the motion, and to
Dr. Nicholas Pisacano. whose sup-
port for students in this case will be
as popular as his BIO 110 class.

Now if only the basketball team
can win the conference.

schools and offices were closed
Monday, it should be no surprise to
anyone that I and many other UK
commuters were pissed Monday
morning to find thatwe should brave
the subzero temperatures in order to
attend classes.

Sure, we pay $240 every semester
to get an education, but, actually,
everyone should have stayed home

Besides, UK is one of the largest

Alumni Gym

We are writing this letter to ex-
press our irritation at the fact that
Alumni Gym is not open to students
in the afternoon.

This is an inconvenience to
studmts living on the north side of
campus. Often, the afternoon is the
only available time to play
basketball because of our studies.

Being engineering majors, we
must devote much of our evening
time to studying, as many other
students must.

The Seaton Center is a fine facility
but is not readily accessible to
students living on the north side of
campus.

This is especially true (tiring
periods of weather such as we are
currently experiencing. Most
studmts do not wish to walk a mile
through the rain to play basketball.

There is no need for this to happen
as long as Alumni Gym is available.

Free education

Renamed Free University reinstated
by SCB after three-year absence

By BRIDGET MILLS
Kernel Reporter

The price of a college
education is anything but free
for students these days, but
now UK has a Free School

Free School is a no-cost,
non~graded and no-credit
institution, sponsored by the
Student Center Board (SCB).
The 18 classes being offered
this spring range from areas
as varied as Filmmaking to
Slavic Folk Dancing.

Free School originated at
UK in 1969, known as Free
University until it died in
1973.

“We’ve changed the name
because school sounds
warmer than university,”
adviser Sharon Golf said.

Last fall the Student Center
Board (SCB) Executive
Council voted to bring Free
School back to the campus.
The SCB decided to form a
permanent standing com-
mittee to «game the school
and advertised for a chair-
person and members.

Pat Meeker was chosen as
chairperson and Sharon Golf
as adviser, with the Free
School advertising backed by
SCB funds.

Last fall Meeker and Golf,
along with several SCB
members, attended a con
vention in Louisville spon-
sored by the Nationai Free
University Network, con-
nected with the University for
Man in Manhattan, Kan.

At the present time five
other UK students serve on
the committee.

Just for fun

The school will not be
competing with the
University academic
departments, Meeker said.

“We just encourage people
to take advantage of the
courses,” she added. “Those
teaching the classes are
people on and off campus
interested in that particular
field. The teachers are ex-
cited to learn from the
students as well as teach
them.”

Peace Corps office
opened on campus

The UK Office for in-
terna tional Programs and the
Peace Corps are cooperating
to provide UK students with
better access to information
about Peace Corps op-
portunities suited to their
skills and interests.

A Peace Corps office has

~ ‘been established in Room 104,

Bradley Hall. Ken Wiegand,
agricultural economics
graduatestudent, is available
to meet with students each
day, between 8 and 11 am, or
at other times by ap-
pointment. The phone
number is 258-8646.

Wiegand is a former Peace
Corps agricultural volunteer,
having spent three years in
the Dominican Republic
working with small farmers’
associations and with the
Agrarian Reform Institute.

He later became a training

program director in Puerto
Rico and settipand directed a
Peace Corps technical
training center in Costa Rica.

Besides advising students
of the various facets of a
Peace Corps experience,
Wiegand will be nominating
qualified applicants directly
to national headquarters in
Washington, DC, for specific
overseas positions. These
individual jobs cover every
field, but are especially
numerous in the scarce skill
areas of agriculture, health,
skilled trade and science-
math education.

Returning Peace Corps
volunteers now on campus
are urged to stop by or call
the office to arrange an in-
terview in order to tape a
description of their ex-
periences for use by new
applicants.

Inexpensive hobby
UK hams tune in

By JANE ROWADY
Kernel Reporter

If you ever get in the mood
to listen to Radio Moscow or
the British Broadcasting
Company (BBC), drop in on
the UK Amateur Radio Club.

Station W4J P, licensed for
public service by the Federal
Communication Commission,
was started in 1923 and the
club was organized in I935.

Club president Gary
Bastin, electrical engineering
senior, said operating an
amateur—or “ham”—radio
was, “a free form of com-
munication and a learning
experience. You can learn
about geography anywhere in
the world and the customs of
every nation through ham
radio communication.”

Joe Hoffman, electrical
engineering sophomore and
club member, said he was
able to partly fulfill his dream
of worldwide travel by
operating a ham radio. “I’ve
made friends all over the
world ,” he said.

Though the club is spon-
sored by the electrical

engineering department,
students and faculty in every
field d study can and do join
the club.

Nor is an operator’s license
a membership requirement.

“More people come and
listen to the transmissions
than actually transmit.”
Bastin said.

Getting started in ham
radio is not expensive, ac-
cording to Ba stin, who said he
got set up for less than $5.

Building special projects,
conducting contests and
simulated emergency tests
and playing chess~both by
voice and Morse code—are
among the club’s activities,
Bastin said. Contact has been
made with ahnost every state
and many nations worldwide.

P. C. “Mac” Magoun,
faculty adviser and trustee
for the club, is a familiar face
around the station.

Magoun said he has a dual
function. “I am faculty ad-
visor for the club. And
because the club has a radio
station, the government
requires that the club have a
full-time faculty member
trustee of the station.”

After college, what will i do?
That's a question a lot of young people
ask themselves these days.
