Hopkins captures
6th District seat

By MARY LOU HYMEL
Staff Writer

The pool room of the Campbell
House was filled with shouts of “We
want I.arry!“. which were answered by
cries of. "We‘ve got Larry.“

larry Hopkins had just won the 6th
U.S. Congressional District seat.
becoming the first Republican to
represent the Bluegrass in Washington
in 50 years. His defeat of Democrat
Tom Easterly last night surprised
many with its suddenness. as most
observers predicted victory for
Hopkins before 8 pm.

Hopkins. in his triumphant speech.
declared the results “a victory for the
people of the 6th District. You have
rejected economic prejudice and
machine politics. It was a different
voice in this district. born out of a
voice of hope and determination." said
Hopkins.

“We need to get the government off
our back and on our side; we can make
the government work. care and listen

again. listen to the people and make-

their voice heard. I will continue to
listen to the people and make your
voice heard.“

Hopkins ended his long-awaited
victory statement with a quote from a
song. “You will always be gentle on my
mind.“ and the room erupted into
cheers.

In defeat, loser had air of pride

By THOMAS CLARK
Staff Writer

Tom Easterly looked to be anything
but a loser as he sat in Democratic
Headquarters last night. The only
thing that gave him away was the
patter of a politician who has just lost
the election.

“We need more time to see what we

did right and what we did wrong. if
anything. For now. we‘ll leave the
analysis to the analysts." he said.

Easterly seemed to be the “wonder
boy“ of Kentucky politics after he left
three-time Representative John
Breckinridge standing in the wake of
his “meet the people“ primary
campaign. Easterly and his supporters

Huddleston re-elected
in decisive victory

LOUISVILLE (AP) --— Sen. Walter
Dee Huddleston. D-Ky.. won. a
smashing victory yesterday over his
conservative Republican opponent.
state Rep. Louie Guenther of
Louisville.

Incomplete returns showed that‘in
winning a second term. Huddleston
was carrying all of the state‘s seven
congressional districts. including the
GOP stronghold of the 5th.

Huddleston. a heavy favorite at the
outset. commented that “the size of the

victory indicates the people generally
supported my record of service.”

He said he is especially pleased that
the Panama Canal treaties issue. on
which Guenther occasionally focused.
“did not turn out to be that great a
problem."

He said he expected the
Republicans to offer “possibly a better
candidate than they did. and to run
harder.“

were sure the style would carry them

through the general election and into
the nation‘s capital.

Instead. it was Easterly waiting on
the phone to tell opponent Larry
Hopkins. “I wish you well in the big
city.”

The Democrat‘s biggest challenge of i

the night was his attempt to get the
precinct results from Fayette County.
He repeatedly told newsmen that he
wouldn‘t have a statement until he got
something definite from Hopkins‘
home territory.

Fruitless calls were placed to the
election commission. radio stations
and newspapers in an attempt to get
the final results. The bad news finally
came from Chuck Wolfe of the
Lexington office of the Associated
Press. who told Easterly that he was
losing almost two-to-one in the
county.

Easterly paused to make a short call
of congratulations to Hopkins. answer
a few questions and thank a few
supporters. before trekking to he
small auditorium where his supporters
were gathered. already well aware of
the news.

He constantly referred to his defeat.
both in his office and in his concession
speech. as an athletic contest. “If you
get out and fight as hard as you can,
you just can‘t feel bad about it. I feel
like we ran a very good race and we

Easterly had counted on the almost
5 to l Democratic majority in the

walkover after upsetting incumbent
Democrat John Breckinridge of
Lexington in the May primary.

At that time. Easterly collected the
state worker vote in his home
Frankfort area whcrcas Breckinridge
barely mustered enough ballots form
his home at Lexington to counter that
big margin.

Hopkins‘ basic strategy was to do
the same in reverse. get out a massive
GOP and Lexington-area Democratic
rural counties.

Hopkins was nominated after the
primary when Mary Louise Foust. 68.

which she had won without

Hopkins promised last night he

Eas ter/y concession

kills cro wd’s hop es

By JEANNE WEHNES

Associate Editor

FRANKFORT -_ After l8 months
of fliers. pamphlets. emory boards and
the spirit-raising victory of a major
and unexpected upset in the party‘s
primary. Democratic state Sen. Tom
Easterly conceded last night to Larry
Hopkins.

When Easterly came into
Frankfort‘s Democratic campaign
headquarters at 8230 last night. he was
facing a crowd already in the mood for
victory after the runaway election of
Walter (Dee) Huddleston to a second
term in the Senate. Easterly would be
the pinprick in the party‘s bubble last
night.

The gathering. no longer a crowd.
congregated in the front of the
assembly room when Easterly came
from his office to thank campaign
workers. Some were regulars at
headquarters. regardless of candidate
or office. some were those convinced
Easterly. the upstart state senator. had
a chance at making it to Capitol Hill.

The stiff upper lip prevailed. Hardly
a tear was shed as the candidate
thanked those who made the running
seemingly close through the entire
campaign.

Before his farewell speech. Easterly
phoned various news sources in the
district looking for the extra 4.000
votes that would give him the edge. He

.made jokes with reporters assembled
both to listen to his comments and to ‘

find out how close the final figures
were to the tally board in the other
room.

The Associated Press finally came
through with the official Fayette
County figures: Hopkins 24.372;
Easterly l2.762. That wide margin was
enough for the Democratic candidate.

Easterly called Hopkins at his
Campbell House campaign
headquarters. and joked that Hopkins
must be swimming across the pool
after Easterly was put on hold for the
third time. There was a momentary
sputter of laughter. a few questions
about the stock market and then
silence. Occasionallv. a camera shutter
clicked.

"Politics is a competitive thing.“ he
said during an interview. "It's just like
a ball game. You just give it your best
shot.“

Applause filled the Frankfort
campaign room when Easterly walked
in to greet his workers for the final
time. It quickly died out. however. and
was repeated only once before he left
the dais. not to return.

That was it. No cheers. no slaps on
the back. no victory hugs. just a few
warm embraces for a job attempted
and well done. Some of those present
filtered out to the parking lot. others
headed for the bar —— now stocked
with only gin. vodka and beer —— and
others headed to the table still laden
with crackers. cheese and salami.

But even the salami looked limp.

LIGHT RAINS slowed the advance of forest fires in
Eastern Kentucky yesterday. enabling firefighters to
concentrate their efforts on the trouble spots that remained.

David Peercy. a state Division of Forestry official at
Hazard. said there were five fires in Perry County and one
fire in Breathitt County that his men had been unable to
check. However. he said the showers were slowing down the
fires and that more crews were returning to the line.

Monday night. firefighters had to contend with about l4
blazes in the Pinevillc district. which takes in [0 counties.
Those fires all were reported out.

All fires in Harlan County were reported under control.
including one which burned 300 acres in the Bob’s Creek
area and new fires which broke out overnight at Terry‘s Fork
and Big Laurel.

Pcercy also reported there have been problems with
people setting fires.

RALPH ED GRAVES announced his resignation
yesterday as commissioner of the Kentucky Department for

Local Government to enter the Democratic gubernatorial

$25.

“For too long.” Graves said. “those with big money and a
special interest to promote have had too much influence in
the public‘s business.

“I want to be able to serve every single Kcntuckian as
governor without being influenced by big money
contributors." Graves told a news conference.

Wrong way

ABC's uniform beer pricing proposal
would onlyplace burden on consumers

A recent proposal to institute uniform beer prices
in Kentucky seeks to solve the problem ofsmuggling
in the wrong way.

State Alcoholic Beverage Commissioner Ray-
mond Keene suggested such legislation last week as
a means of combatting bootleggers in Kentucky‘s
dry counties. A legislative subcommittee has
requested the Legislative Research Commission to
draft such a bill. which would increase beer prices in
manyareas.

According to Keene. it‘s common knowledge that
breweries sell beer more cheaply in certain areas to
allow bootleggers a margin to pay extra costs.
Brewers. though. have denied that beer sold in a wet
territory ends up in nearby dry counties.

Keene said an investigation by the state ABC
revealed that about 400.000 cases of beer were sold
in Richmond during the past l8 months without
proper sales records or payment of sales tax. About
$200,000 in sales taxes was not collected, but the
ABC has now settled all but one case. he said.

The government‘s main worry. of course. is that
revenue is lost in the illegalsales in dry counties. It is
doubtful that officials are concerned about the
moral transgressions of flouting prohibition in dry
counties.

But the suggestion of a uniform beer-pricing law
would solve the problem of bootlegging by putting

the burden on the consumers. Instead of cracking
down on illegal sales through enforcing existing law.
Keene would have prices fixed at artificial levels.

Such a step would eliminate competition in a
major market. assuring distributors of steady.
lucrative profits while consumers could no longer
shop for the best buys. Similar to the ill-named “fair
trade laws" for milk. it would fix prices of an
important product at unfair levels.

If the department cannot enforce the current
liquor laws. it should consider pushing for a more
modern solution to the problem of bootlegging:
encourage the abolishment of archaic “dry“ laws
and permit legal sales of alcohol (at least beer)
throughout the state. Bootlegging would disappear.
consumers could buy a product of steadier quality at
greater convenience. and state revenue from sales
would increase.

Given the conservative mind-set ofsmost of the
dry counties. that’sa situation that won‘t happen for
some time. But the people who buy beer legally
shouldn‘t have to suffer price increases because of
the moral convictions of those who live in dry areas.

In its review of the suggestion on uniform beer
prices. the interim joint Committee on Business
Organizations and Professions should look more
closely at the effects the bill now being drafted
would have.

SG senator offers explanation of his defeated resolution

(EDITOR‘S NOTE: The full text of the Student
Government resolution referred to in this commentary
was published on the editorial page of the Nov.2 edition
of the Kernel.)

BY RICHARD W. DIZNEY

An open letter to my fellow Student Government
senators:

The events of the Monday Night Massacre at the
(Complex) Commons have sparked a great deal of
controversy and comments. However. one statement. for

measures taken by the U K administration, police. and the

. district court.

In as much as a resolution approved (prior to mine)
asserts two of my points in this clause. I shall limit my
explanation to my reference to the administration.

Administrative Regulation ”-704 grants discretion.
in regards to spontaneous demonstrations into which the
police are called, to the Dean of Students; therefore he or
his delegated representative. in this case Dean (Joseph)
Burch. is primarily responsible for a situation that 80 has
already admitted was unfair.

 

commentary

 

obvious reasons. remains to be brought forth to the
public my explanation of the Student Government
resolution titled “Defense of the Lexington II." In as
much as the Kernel respects my right to free speech more
than many of you. here ‘tis:

Whereas Student Government has an explicit
constitutional commitment to support campus minority
and third world students and to denounce ethnic
discrimination on campus.

I refer you to the preamble and Article III. section
“(3) of the SG Constitution.

Whereas a stark implication of discrimination exists in
the case of those protesting the speech by Stansfield
Turner on April I2. I 978 due to the unusually repressive

Furthermore. I would like to refer you to an incident
that occured during an (Organization of Iranian Moslem
Students) demonstration a few weeks ago. A fellow
member of the Committee to Defend the ll. Paul Corio.
was assulted while watching the demonstration by a man
nearly twice his size. The Kernel reported the incident but
did not report the fact that an Assistant Dean of
Students. flanked by two UK policeman. stood within
spitting distance. watched the assault. and neither lifted a
finger nor spoke a word.

Either he thinks that physical attack is less important
than what Burch considers disorderly conduct 4 an
absurd conclusion —— or he thinks that students who
support Iranian students have no right to protection from
physical harm and their blood would make the sidewalk
more decorative. One can easily imagine how he feels

about spilled blood of the Iranians themselves.

Thirdly. I refer you to the deliberate negligence by the
administration of violations of the law and Student Code
generally practiced on campus. ranging from possession
of alcoholic beverages , I can specifically recallSG
sponsoring an action to violate that one to rape.

To me. these incidents collectively show that
administrative policy and procedure constitute
discrimination against the II and other supporters ofthe
Iranian student movement on ethnic and political
grounds.

Whereas Student Government stands reprimanded for
its lack ofsupportfor the students. visiting students and
faculty arrested for protesting the Turner speech.

This is primarily a reference to the (letter to the editor)
submitted to the Kernel (printed. Tuesday. Oct. 33) by
Johnson Toritsemotse. The contention of this clause is
not a statement ofjustification although I do feel that
it wasjustificd but a matter-of-fact statement that such
a reprimand exists and it specifically inquires into the
prospect of a resolution such as this one.

Whereas the treatment of this case by the UK
administration. police and courts established an
extremely dangerous precedent in regards to the right of
free speech and civil rights of the students and others at
UK.

The implications are quite obvious. Silent complicity
by Student Government toward such actions taken by
such persons is an open invitation for its repitition and
the flexing of bureaucratic muscles against anyone whose

political bent is in conflict with that which dominates the
Office Tower and the Administration Building. the police
building and the courts. Such-situations are comparable
to an academic concentration camp.

In as much as I have explained my support of the
“whereas“ clauses. I do not feel it necessary to explain the
“be it resolved“ clauses; they should be subsequently self-
explanatory.

However. the second clause should read. . . supports
the contention that Dean Burch and President Singletary
should . . rather than . . supports the contention that
Dean Burch and President Singletary would . . .‘The
difference is obvious. "

Thirdly. I would like to express my appreciation to
Mark Koopman who had the guts to volunteer to co-
sponsor the resolution but was not given the opportunity.
to Brad Sturgeon and Mark Whitlock who had the guts
to stage the walkout demonstration with me. and to
Mark Henkel who. although I believe disagreed with the
resolution. had the guts to fight for its consideration.

The Kernel editorial on Thursday (Nov. 2) referred to
80‘s “action“ or. the resolution as insensitive. The terms
conveyed to me ranged from arrogance to cowardice. A
similar response by Student Government to a similar
resolution. if submitted. would certainly be regarded in
the same manner - in other words. the same response
would be unprofitable. And this is hardly the time for
cowardice by Student Government. Le gauntlet reste aux
pieds encore!

Richard W. Dizney. a philosophy and political science
major. is a Student Government senator from the College
of Arts and Sciences and is a member of the Committee to
Defend the II.

 

Letters to the Editor

 

Official explains

Although a personal letter has been
sent to Sharon Lynn Skougc relative
to her problems with Memorial
coliseum pool. the recently published
letter to the editor Kernel. Oct. 3|)
indicates the need for a more public
explanation of our position in this
matter.

4‘

The Health. Physical Education and
Recreation Department of the
University of Kentucky does not have
responsibility for establishing
priorities. nor developing a schedule
for the use of the swimming pool in
Memorial Coliseum. We have priority
for scheduling departmental
instuctional activities. but hours for
recreational use are scheduled through

99

the office of the Director of Campus
Recreation. This program.
incidentally. is administered by the
Vice President of Student Affairs. Any
problems relative to the closing of the
pool during recreational swim and/or
the hours the pool is open for public
swimming should be directed to
Bernard Johnson. director of the
campus recreation.

The swim team. coached by Wynn
\ Paul. is a component of the Athletic
Department and therefore. is
controlled by the Director of
Athletics. not the physical education
department. Questions concerning
team schedules. the pre-empting of
recreational swim time for
competition between teams. and other
athletic matters should be directed to
Cliff Hagan. director of athletics.

In closing. may I say to Skouge and
all the other people interested in
improving their level of physical
fitness. that all the faculty in the
physical education dc partment have as
our highest priority a continuing
interest in health and fitness. This
emphasis is reflected in the fitness
oriented and scientifically based
programs provided for all physical
education majors. We share your
concern about the availibility of
facilities and have strongly
recommended the completion of
Phases II and III of the Seaton
Building. This would provide
considerably more space. including an
aquatic center for instructional.
recreational and intramural activities.

Houdini act

For heaven’s sake I do not
understand why the University of
Kentucky chooses to punish its
students by all the quirks imaginable.
Who would have imagined that the
telephones in the MI King Library
wuld be magically transformed into
pay telephones in the wink of an eye.
Even the great Houdini would have
envied this trick.

In these difficult times
(understandably both for the
University and its students) the
University should have chosen.
instead. to limit the versitility of the
phones to campus calls only. Because
it is for campus business that most
students would like to use these
phones. The UK campus being widely
spread out (which I am proud of)
students would unnecessarily spend

thier time in errands. Moreover. how
can one be sure. after all the walking.
for example. that the professor that
one wants to see will be available? A
couple fo mishaps like this will surely
send me to the psychiatric treatment
center. Or is there a sinister
collaboration between the Evelyn
Wood Reading Group and the
University of Kentucky. that the
University has come up with a great
idea for cutting into at students study
hours?

I may be one of the few who have
decided to express their dissatisfaction
about the telephones writing to the
erstwhile Kentucky Kernel. But I am
sure there hundreds of others who are
dissatisfied like I. I hope the University
considers the predicament of its
students and takes a favorable action
in this regard.
