Singletary explains
role of universities

By NELL FIELDS
Staff Writer

UK President Otis Singletary said
yesterday the University is an
institution that pumps a lot of money
into the community. But he added
that the school has other functions not
connected with dollars.

Singletary was the first in a series of
speakers to be- featured in the
Wednesday Forum, which is
sponsored by the Student Bar
Association.

He told his audience of students and
faculty members -— some of whom
were munching on lunches of
submarine sandwiches, peanuts and
diet soft drinks — that “a university is
a loose collection of colleges and
departments bound together by a
plumbing system."

In a more serious vein, Singletary
talked about the monetary aspects of
the university. Students are often told
in introductory sociology classes that
universities are comparable to
corporations. Singletary agreed,
adding some details of his own.

He said UK houses and feeds more
people than the average person can
comprehend.

“A crass comment,” he said, “is that
UK is the biggest business around
here.”

Since U K is a large, government-run
agency. Singletary mentioned
Proposition l3 in his speech.
(Proposition 13 is the property tax-
lirniting measure recently approved by
California voters./ He said
universities will invariably have their
funds severed when such measures are
adopted.

Reconstruction

With a Sl00 million-a-year budget,
Singletary thinks UK will suffer if a
Proposition l3-like measure ever gets
past the doors of the Kentucky
General Assembly.

He explained this with a story about
the famous bank robber, Willie
Sutton. Singletary said authorities
once asked Sutton, afterhe had been
arrested, “ ‘Willie, why are you always
robbing banks?" ’ His answer,
Singletary said, was:“ ‘Cause that‘s
where all the money is.” There is,
however, more to the university than
money, Singletary said. All
universities, he noted, have three basic
functions: teaching. research and
public service. This is true of UK,
although; he said, many people don‘t
realize the schools carry on these
functions simultaneously.

As can be expected, Singletary said,
he gets much advice from many people
about how these functions should
operate. He noted, however, he
welcomes the recommendations. The
problem, he said, is trying to combine
advice from a number of different
sources.

The audience for the Singletary
speech, it was announced, was larger
than the audience for last year‘s first
Wednesday Forum speaker. Football
Coach Fran Curci — one person
larger.

Charles Williams, president of the
SBA, said his group is planning II
more speakers for the lunch-hour
forums this semester. The speeches are
held in the College of Law Courtroom
and are free and open to the public.

Next week's speaker will be
Lexington Mayor Jim Amato.

mass parking confusion

By F. JENAY TATE
Copy Editor

The repaving of the campus bus
route through the Commonwealth
Stadium parking lot has compounded
the parking problem there.

Because the stadium lot was not
designed for the weight and single-
path traveling of the buses, the $63,000
“heavying-up“ project was
undertaken, according to Clifton
Marshall, UK director of design and
construction.

The contractors will put down a
heavier base and thicker pavement,
Marshall said, “the kind of paving they
put in the northern states where it gets
so cold.”

Work began about two weeks ago
and should be completed before the
first football game, Sept. 23, he said.

Skilton Construction Co. of
Lexington is the contractor.

Although 50-75 parking spaces are
blocked off, the newest headache is
illegal parking. according to Tom

Padgett, director of the public safety
division.
“Students have parked in every little

nook and cranny.“ ”Padgett saidu

“You're practically immobilized when
you get in some of the lanes out there. "

In addition, he said the buses can't
drive into the stadium to travel the
alternate 'route because cars have
blocked the entrance.

UK Police will be at the stadium lot
this morning issuing tickets, towing
cars and directing drivers to legal
spaces, Padgett said.

After paved spaces are filled,
Padgett suggested using the grass and
gravel overflow lot behind the
Stadium. ,

The lot directly to the east of the
Stadium does not drain well, he said.
and it is easy for cars to get stuck.

About 400 spaces will be available
to students by the end of September
when the paving of a grass and gravel
lot near the southeast corner of the
stadium is completed, Padgett said.

Cash available for runn y nose

By LINDA CAMPBELL
Staff writer

'With tuition and high book prices
stripping their resources, students
continue to look for painless ways to
make some cough money.

Those hay fever victims interested in
assisting UK researchers by
swallowing unidentified capsules from
sealed, coded vials and waiting for a
nose reaction are in luck. They can
make $50 aday in a UK study.

“This study evaluates drugs used in
the treatment of allergic rhinitis,“ said
Dr. Louis Diamond. professor and
director of the pharmacodynamics
and toxicology division of the College
of Pharmacy.

The study is sponsored by the
Burroughs Wellcome Drug Company
of Research Triangle Park in North
Carolina.

The Federal Drug Administration
requires drug companies to test their
product if it contains more than one
drug. As a form of consumer
protection, the drug company is
responsible for proving that each
ingredient has its advertised effect. if it
doesn‘t, the component must be
removed.

Such studies assure the consumer
that the effect of the drug on the

specified ailment is documented.

When people begin the day long
study, they are interviewed about
medical backgrounds. Phone
interviews are conducted first to
establish that the subjects have no
long-term illnesses, such as high blood
pressure or heart disease.

Once a subject qualifies and appears
at the research facility, he is given a
physical examination. Allergist
Kenneth Gerson gives a basic eye, ear.
nose and throat examination along
with blood pressure and respiration
tests.

The purpose of the preliminary
examinations, according to lab
technician Susan Peragine. is to make
certain the subject is healthy.

The basic qualification is that
individuals be healthy, except for an
allergy to pollen.

The allergy is detected with a scratch
test. It involves breaking the skin and
dropping ragweed extract into the
opening. If the skin gets red and a
bump develops much like that of an
insect bite hay fever is present.

The subject will be asked to stop in
once each hour after taking the drug to
have his medical reactions tested.

The test takes about five minutes.

There are over 200 vials of pills
waiting for willing hay fever sufferers.

LEXINGTON IS ONE of four cities chosen by the federal Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration to implement a project to
modernize the government‘s emergency communicatons system.

State Justice Secretary John Smith said the Federal Communications
Commission has nearly doubled the frequencies available for land and
mobile radio service, making such a project possible, and called the FCC
action “a landmark event in the history of mobile radio communications in

the United States."

SOME WESTERN KENTUCKY forest rangers have objected to
assignments to the state‘s tree nursery at Gilbertsville, saying the work

The commissioner of the state Bureau of Natural Resources, however, has

Bernard Carter the commissioner, said rangers are not assigned to the
nursery when there is a danger of fire in their counties.

A resolution opposing the nursery assignments, signed by Is county
officials, was sent last week to Gov. Julian Carroll.

The study will continue until all the
pills are gone or the first frost falls,
according to Peragine.

Diamond said the hourly checks
with an instrument he described as
“electronics for medicine" are used in
addition to the subjects' verbal
descriptions of their allergic hay fever
reactions.

"The subjects appear at roughly ID
in the morning,“ said Peragine. “I ask
them to remain outdoors during the
intervals. unless it is raining.“ More
accurate reactions to pollen are seen if
the subjects are exposed to natural
conditions, she said.

When subjects return to the lab,
hourly, they are asked basic questions:
Sniffly nose? Watery eyes?

Data is then gathered electronically
through a modified scuba diving mask
attached to the instrument which
measures the patients” congestion as
they breathe.

Diamond explained that this study

is testing claims of Actifed a
combination of two chemicals. Each
of these chemicals is tested alone.
according to Diamond. along with
Actifed in full strength and a placebo.

Placebos are compuonds which
contain no active medication and only
provide the patient with the
psychological idea that he has ingested
a medicine.

Each pill is sealed'in a vial and coded
for accurate «words. "The study is
double-blinded and neither the
patients or the investigators know
what form of the drug or none at all
— they are taking," said Diamond.
“Everything is coded and information
is confidential and anonymous."

In case a subject has an adverse
reaction to one of the drugs. the code
can be broken and the drug ’dentified
for immediate help. Luck has been
good so far, said Diamond, and this
has not yet happened.

Psychology students give
counseling at UK center

By MARY ANN TAPP
Staff Writer

The Psychological Services Center
in Kastle Hall offers a variety of
personal counseling services to
students. faculty, staff and the
community and it‘s all free.

The coordinators of the center,
Kevin Keenan and Donna
Langenbahn, said they believe the
program is important in several
aspects; it gives graduate students on-
the~job training, it extends into the
community. it helps people overcome
fears or problems and it is small
enough to help people with a
maximum effect.

“it is a relatively small operation
and we would like to keep it that way,”
said Keenan.

There are l5 people on a waiting list
for PSC counseling this semester.
Langenbahn remarked, “Any cases
that we cannot handle because of too
many clientele, we refer to the
counseling service of the Student
Medical Health Service." This is done
to assure help for anyone who needs it.

Dr. Stuart Fisher. Ph.D., isdirector
of the PSC and acts as a “watch dog”
for the program. Fisher said, “With
better funding. we could enlarge the

program and see more people.“

Dave Botkin and Mike Kramer,
second year graduate student
therapists agree with Fisher as far as
funds are concerned. “Everything we
have now has been donated by the
University or the psychology
department.” said Kramer. "No one is
paid, it is done strictly on a volunteer
basis,” said Botkin.

“Everyone who comes to us is told
the clinic has a two-way contract,"
explained Keenan. “We tell them that
we are closely supervised graduate
students and that the experience will
benefit both of us. If they are wary of
being seen by a student then we refer
them to another help service that can
meet their needs."

Kramer said he believes the clinic is
a good idea simply because the services
are free.

The clinic. located in the basement
of Kastle Hall. has several therapy
rooms decorated to make the client
feel relaxed and audio and visual
equpiment to aid the therapists.
Occasionally the equipment is used to
play back sessions for the client.

"in my opinion,” said Keenan, “the
program should receive highest marks
for the services it provides. It is not

Camp David summit sign Carter’s, learned well
HEY. FOLKS! THIS SUMMER SEND THE KIDS T0...

ill? Milli:  .

CANOE...

Assembling the leaders of Egypt and Israel in the
current summit meeting at Camp David has been an
audacious step for President Jimmy Carter to take.
In a bold move. Carter has put his political prestige
on the line in' trying to solve the Arab-Israeli
conflict. '

Of course, Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin
also have much at stake in seeking to have the
differences between their country resolved. If the
summit conference produces nothing that will lead
to peace. Carter is not the only leader whose image
as a statesman will be damaged.

It‘s unrealistic to expect that a far-reaching
agreement to settle the conflict will be reached at the
presidential retreat in the mountains of Maryland.

Sadat seems ready for a final solution. and may
even be ready to make some concessions. but
Begin‘s deliberate and detailed approach to
negotiations would seem to make complete
agreement impossible at this time. Perhaps the best
that can be hoped for is that dialogue will continue
between Israel and Egypt after the summit.and that
the nations will be closer to agreement.

If the summit conference does produce
encouraging results, it may confound the president’s
critics, who have insisted that the deterioration and
indecisiveness of US. foreign policy is one of
Carter‘s main problems.

Carter has had one ofthe rudest welcomes ofany
president. .As a candidate. he undoubtedly raised
expectations of what could be done to solve
immense. complex problems. Relatively
inexperienced, the president has had a rough
education in the ways to get support for legislation.
which has caused bitter debate and conflict within
Congress. The recent question over whether Carter
won a senator‘s support for natural gas deregulation
by supporting breeder reactors epitomizes the
prestent‘s stormy relations with Congress. Also. he
has een criticiz’ed for hiring questionable aides.
such as Bert lance and Peter Bourne. and for being
clumsily blunt in firing other ones. such as Midge
C ostanra.

But there is evidence that Carter is learning his
lessons well. The summit conference with Sadat and
Begin is a strong. purposeful move.

Domestically. Carter has proposed a health
program which addresses a major need and is not as
inflationary as Edward Kennedy‘s alternative plan.

The President has also made some major
accomplishments in several other important areas:

The Panama canal dispute. a continuing problem
over the last several years. was finally resolved by
the president. who assembled support and brought
the treaty through a protracted battle in the Senate.

The arms embargo to Turkey. which served no
purpose and weakened that country‘s position. was
lifted. Again the move came over the objections ofa
minority special interests lobby in Congress.

In another arms-related action. Carter helped
link US. and Arab interests by selling war planes to
Saudi Arabia and Egypt. as well as Israel. Although
the United States“ role as the world's armorer is_
hardly the preferred position.at least we are not cast
in a one-sided position in the Middle East. Also. the
decision to sell planes to the countries was a direct
step toward the present negotiations. the best
chance yet for permanent peace.

The Carter administration has also had success in
negotiating the independence of Namibia from
South Africa. an exoneration of sorts for the much-
criticized ambassador to the United Nations Andy
Young. Young deserves to be taken to task for his
occasional awkuard statements. but he has given
the United States ncu respect and validity itt its
relations with emerging African nations and otltcr
third-world countries.

Domestically. the administration is going
through an agoni/ing process toward getting
complete approval of the Carter energy package.
Many elements of the plan have been altered and
compromised since its conception. but it has
probably been an excellent oppoortunitv for the

President to learn about steering legislation toward
approval. In an area so complex and \ ulncrahlc to

special interests. it is to the president‘s credit that
three of the energy plan‘s live components have
already been passed.

RIDE...

 

 

  
  
 

Economically. Carter has had to deal with both
high unetuploymcnt and high inflation at the same
time. a problem that ball‘les economists and for
which there is no easy solution. il'any at all. Not only
must he work at solving economic problems in the
United States. Carter has had to deal with global
economic problems. and must assure other
countries that the limited States will act in their
interest as well.

Perhaps the president has attacked too many
complex problems at once. for there are many

obstacles against action on any single issue. With
congressman bent on grabbing as many pork-barrel
projects as possible, special interest groups ready to
protect a single issue and a “court society" of
commentators, pundits and one-topic experts with
their own critiques. maybe it‘s impossible to solve
the far—reaching problems that have been largely
ignored until now. But there are signs that Carter is
becoming more effective as president. and he has
already made significant accomplishments in'
several areas.

years old and we are still trying to cling
to the zeitgeist it articulated. A decade
after the fact. our current stars can
only come up with some embarrassing
disco covers. The only reason anyone
ever paid any attention to the film is
that it purports a connection with the
Beatles. It is tenuous. to say the least.

0n the other hand. The Buddy
Holly Story was an excellent film.
Gary Busey gave us a performance
that surpasses anything John Travolta
has done. If Busey only had those'
"electric blue eyes.” he would be on top
of the heap (and what a heap it is).
Busey fleshed out an enigmatic Buddy
Holly for the Kiss generation.

Animal House also gets the nod.

Perhaps the film did not exploit the
full potential of John Belushi. but then
it would have been exploitative. eh? As
a testimony to the absurdity of Greek
life. it is very apropos, especially for
this campus. The film is worth two
hours and three bucks. lam not saying
that it has any reformative value. only
that it has some memorable moments.

Lexington enjoyed some fine

performance. and I understand that
Fleetwood Mac came out ahead, also.
There were. obviously, other groups

these disposable rockers who surface'
for a few years and then disappear into

 

the mire. Nevertheless. Lexington is
on the rock and roll map. .

The biggest story for central

Exile. We gave up the boys for dead
years ago and they have put us all to
glorious shame with an international
hit and another one on the way.
Whether you like the music or not. you
certainly have to feel good about their
success. It is far too early to predict
whether they have the power to stay on
top. but right now there are no mixed
emotions.

Well. it‘s great to be back. Barring
any unfortunate automobile accidents
and/or indiscreet drug usage. we are
stuck with each other for another year.

A common practice among
those who take part in the fun
and games of college is “dusting
off."

What is dusting off?
Something you do once a year
(in the spring) to
those bookshelves? No... What
a rider does to the seat of his
pants when his horse tosses him
off'.’ No... What you do to rid
yourself of a
girl— or boyfriend? Probably,
if you‘re of college age.

Dusting off is a procedure
without any definite rules.
which can be performed by
either sex. over any period of
time and in an infinite number
of ways. An individual may be
both a duster and a dustee—
but not usually at the same
time. let's examine a few

traditional ways to play the'

dusting off game.

First and most kind-hearted
is the rare “Let-Her-Down-
Easy" type (so titled because a
female is most often the
dustee). It involves a gradual

tapering off of a semi-serious or '

serious relationship. The male
begins by calling every other
night (instead of every night)
and takes his female out only
Friday and Saturday and not
for Wednesday night wildness
at Two Keys (or wherever). due
to “a temporary shortage of
funds.”

Plans for the “off” nights
should be made with the boys.
One must note that a period of
at least six weeks must pass
before our male duster may
proceed to Phase Three. Also.
all excuses must be said (and
preferably felt) with some fairly
high degree of genuineness.

Anyway. Phase Three entails;

making plans with other girls
(preferably casual acquaint-
ances) for the times unoccupied
by the dustee.These dates
should be unelaborate and take

place outside the dustee‘s=

crowd.

The final phase centers
around gently informing the
dustee that the relationship
needs to be cooled for awhile.
with 'the option available of
dating others in the mean time.
Possibilities then exist for a
continued meaningful relation-
ship, as well as expanded
horizons. The duster must have
a fairly deep like for the dustee
and take the utmost care to
avoid bruising her feelings.

(Some authorities argue that
this type of dusting off is a

 

‘ bastardization. as it does not

truly end the dating situation.
However. this writer feels that
although the “Let- Her-Down-
Easy" plan probably is exempt
from classification as dusting
off. it remains a‘healthy avenue
of change.)

On the opposite end of the
spectrum is the “It‘s Over”
variety. The dustee is going
along. thinking everything is
just peachy-keen. This type
involves a very trusting and
somewhat blind dustee and a
cold-hearted. calculating
duster. Sitting by themselves
some evening. the duster
simply says. “It‘s over...things
have changed and I don't want
to see you anymore." This is
usually the extent of
explanation given. and the
dustee is left confused.
questioning. unanswered. and
probably in hysterics.

A word of caution: Any
duster who selects this
technique should expect to be
classified as an asshole and put
on the dustee‘s eternal bad list.

Another popular method is
the “I want to date around."
The use of this line by dusters

* around the country has reached

epidemic proportions and no
cure is in sight. The line-
dropper is often quite sincere in
feeling this. but at all costs
should search for a more
original way to express it. The
dustee is often quite perceptive
and may already have a
suppressed “feeling that things
aren’t right.“ After the use of
this line. the usual course of
events is one to four phone calls
and zero to three dates (rough
estimate. actual numbers may
vary), an extended period of
non-communication. and an
eventual restoration of at least.
“Hello. how‘s your mother?“

Akin to the aforementioned
type and almost as prevalent is
a quasi-dusting off measure
known as the “wild hair".
Found almost exclusively in
cases where couples have been
dating for some time. one
member has a reccurring urge
to go out with other members
of the opposite sex. The
statement “We should see other
people” (not “I want to date
around"!) is issued. TI few hot
words may result. and most
often a period of two to six
weeks will pass before the
couple returns to their “semi-
married" state once more.

This pattern is both
repeatable and reverseable.

tics should be noted. First.
several weeks of frequent
squabbling preceed the altered
dating status. Second. the
duster can be counted on to go
absolutely beserk if the dustec
goes out with someone else
more than once. Ironically. the
duster can be expected to make
false accusations of advanced
interactions (hell. use your
imagination) and other
foolishness, even though the
idea was his(or hers. as the case
may be) that they both get
around a little.

The four types described
above are merely borderline
varieties of dusting off but
since the end results may be

similar. be aware and take these ‘

words to heart. Now we are
readyto finish all this up with
an explanation of dusting off in
its purest form: the “Great
Ignore”.

It. like others, is vastly
overworked (but still used less
than type three). and is
consistently applied to non-
intense relationships of less
than six weeks endurance
(roughly). The duster simply
refuses to give the dustee the
time of dayw aside from
possibly a “hello" to
acknowledge existence (often
even this is lacking).

When a female fills a duster
role. she may use one or more
of the following tactics: I)
keeping phone calls from the
dustee limited to 35 seconds.
during which she inquires
about the health of his pet
goldfish. and explains that she
must study. clean her room.
wash her hair. do her nails. etc;
2) saying only “hello“ when
bumping into him at parties
(then disappearing); 3) turning
down his offer of a ride home.
preferring one “with the girls“;
