304 pints

50 blood committee achieves year’s goal

By KEITH SHANNON
Kernel Staff Writer

The UK Student Government (SG)
has been out for blood for the past
two months.

And it looks as though they may
have “needled” some students into
helping them out.

The SG Blood Donor Committee
has been working with the Central
Kentucky Blood Center (CKBC)
since early Septmber in arranging
mobile blood drawings on campus.
Steve Petrey, Engineering senator
andchairman of the drive. said he is
satisfied with the turnout.

Petrey said the four blood
drawings which were held or

campus produced 304 pints for the
blood center, four pints more than
the projected goal of the committee.
The most fruitful of the four
drawings was the most recent one,
he said, which was held at the
Complex Commons on Nov. 8. That
drawing produced 98 pints.

The other drawings were held at
the Student Center, Haggin Hall and
Holmes Hall, drawing a total of 206
pints. Petrey said the drawings
represented “a pretty good chunk of
students."

While he is pleased with the tur-
nout of the drawings this semester,
Petrey said there is still “a lot of
room to improve" He said many

Group seats available in new
ticket distribution procedure

By JANE ROWADY
Kernel Reporter

The UK Athletic Association
Ticket Committee unanimously
approved a proposal yesterday
which sets the procedure for
distribution of basketball tickets.

There are several major changes
from past years. Tickets will be
distributed at Memorial Coliseum,
and not at the site of the games
(Rupp Arena). Another change is
that tickets will be given out in
advance, and not the night of the
game. In additon, organizations will
be able to receive block seating.

The distance to Rupp Arena and
the lack of space for ticket lines
made giving out tickets there un-
desirable, according to Dean of
Students Joe Burch, a committee
member.

Because there are more student
tickets available at the new arena
(7,000), Burch said, advance ticket
sales will make it easier to sell
unused student tickets during game
weeks, especially if there are many
unused tickets.

Only students can pick up tickets
on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.
After Wednesday students will have
to compete with the general public.

students ava'd the drawings because
they aren‘t aware of the blood
center’s existence. Others “are just
scared."

The basic idea of the mobile
drawings is to make people aware
that they can give. Petrey said many
students do not realizethey can go to
the center and donate any time
during the year.

In order to help make people less
afraid d‘ giving blood, Petrey tries
to clear up ill feelings that are
evoked at the thought of being
punctured with a needle. “It's not
that big a deal,” he said. “It's not
nearly as bad as people think it is."

Anther incentive for making
people give blood is a blood
guarantee program offered by the
center. The program, according to
Petrey, guarantees the blood needs
of a donor and his immediate family
for me year after that person
donates.

in addition, only individual
student tickets (including block
seating) will be distributed on the
Sunday prior to games later that
week, under the new procedure.
They can be picked up between 2 and
6 p.m. at the four Memorial
Coliseum ticket windows.

Students wishing to purchase
guest tickets or to pick up more than
one ticket must do so after Sunday.

All tickets for consecutive home
games on Saturday and Monday
nights will be distributed during the
week prior to the Saturday game.
According to Burch, there are only
three times next season when the
Cats play at home on Saturday and
the following Monday.

On Mondays, Tuesdays and
Wednesdays iron 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
student tickets will be distributed at
Memorial Coliseum. Remaining
tickets, if any, will be available
Wednesday for sale to the public or
issued to students on a first come,
first serve basis

Only registered student
organizations and residence hall
units with at least 30 members are
eligible for block seating. The
organizations are allowed a
maximum d 75 block seats.

Each registered student

if someone covered by the plan
needs blood for medical reasons, the
CKBC will have the blood available
for that person. Someone not
covered by sucha plan would either
be required to find someone to
replace the blood used or pay the
higher prices required for blood
from a private organization. (The
CKBC is a nonprofit organization.)
However the biggest advantage,
Petrey said, is that the person is
guaranteed that the blood is
available for use.

The overall donation rate for
students to the blood center has
increased since last year. During the
months of September and October of
1975, there were 182 student
donations to the center. During these
same months this year, there were
358 pints donated by students.

Petrey said there will be some
type of blood drive project next
semester, but specific plans for the
drive have not been made.

organization desiring group seating
must submit a roster of its members
to the Dean of Students Office at
least 10 days before the first game.

To receive a block of seats, a
representative of the organization
must go to the Blue Room in
Memo‘ial Coliseum between 6 and 7
p.m. on Sunday before that week’s
game. The representative must
bring a student identification and
activities card for each group
member requesting a ticket.

“Persons in block seats can bring
studentdates as long as the group’s
total number does not exceed 75,”
Burch said. “However, the date's
ID. and activity card must be
submitted along -- with the
organization’s request for block
seating.”

Locations for the blocks will be
determined by a lottery, Burch said.
But individuals will have preference
over blocks, he added. “If we have
left-over individual student seats we
will move some of the blocks to
better seats."

There will be 2,900 student seats
and 3,900 block seats, according to
the adrpted plan.

The procedure for receiving block
seating is similar to the method used
for football games. A major dif-
ference, however, is that
organizations wishing to attend
games on Saturday and the
following Monday must submit two
requests on the Sunday before the
Saturday game.

If more block seats are requested
than are availible, Burch said, the
group with the largest number of
applicants will be dropped from the
lottery. “I don‘t anticipate this

happening too often, " he said.

Green receives newspaper adviser award

By BETSY PEARCE
Kernel Staff Writer

After five years of toil and long
nights helping to establish the in-
dependent student newspaper you’re
reading, Student Publications Ad-
viser Nancy Green received some
important recognition last Friday
when she was named National
Distinguished Newspaper Adviser of
1976.

“l was extremely surprised the
day i got the letter, because usually
the award is given to an older person
with more experience, said Green,
who is 31. "

Presented each year by the
National Council of College
Publications Advisers ( NCCPA ), the
award is given to a college faculty
member for outstanding service to
student publications.

Nominees are asked to present
letters of recommendation regar-
ding advis’ng ability, said Green,
whose work includes advising the

Kernel and the'Kentuckian. They
may be written by colleagues,
students, professional journalists, or
“anyone familiar with you as an
adviser." ln addition, nominees are
asked to outline their approach to
advis’ng, she said.

”My philosophy is that students
should be treated as professionals
and friends." Green said. “You
should expect them to be as
professional as possible, depending
on the ex tentof their education. You
should never ask more of them than
you could do yourself."

One of the basic requirements is
that you must have been an adviser
for at least five years to “prove your
track record," she said. Besides
being student publications adviser
since 1971, Green boasts an im.
prrssive ”track record.“

Since graduating from UK in 1964,
she has held numerous journalism —
oriented positions, ranging from
high school publications director to
journalism and English teacher.

She received her MA. in journalism
from Ball State University in 1971,
and presently maintains a bountiful
list of committee memberships.

in 1974, she was named Ken-
tucky‘s Outstanding Young Woman
of the Year, in 1975 she received Ball
State‘s Journalism Alumni Award,
and in 1976 won the Journalism
Educatim Association's Medal of
Merit.

Green said her main concern is
with student publications. "The
average person doesn’t understand
what ‘advise‘ means. As adviser, i
don‘t lave the right to say what
should or should not be in a
publication. Being an adviser is a
difficul jpb, because lmay counsel
and help, but i never do students'
work for them, or demand, that they
do something in a way they disagree
with."

Tcrming her job as a "thin—lined
situation," Green said she makes it
a "cardiml rule not to touch
anything a student produces, except

in matter of lay-—out. i won't
change anything that is physically
their's, " she said.

Much of Green's time is spent
working with the Kernel. When she
first came to the University, the
Kernel had just been declared an
independent student newspaper.
Changes were needed not only to
improve the paper, but to keep it in
existence.

“First, 1 had to gain the con-
fidence of the staff, which was pretty
hard at the time considering student
unrest, plus the fact that they didn't
know me at all,“ Green said. “Butl
had to keep them going to keep the
Kernel.

“ThenJ had to get the financial
situation in shape, for instance by
creating a board of directors,
mak'ng an operating budget and
finding ideas to get money. There
was also the problem of production
and printing, shce the Kernel could
no longer use the University

Jimmy Carter’s debt:
blacks who elected him

Shortly

blacks.

It is a longoverdue debt that cannot be
overemphasized nor safely ignored.

For the first time in American history, blacks
played the decisvie role in electing a president.
Their massive support for Carter was crucial in
heading off President Ford ’5 come-from-behind

rally.

It is probably no exageration to say that had
the blacks not supported Carter so strongly,
Ford would have won easily. Most statistics

dramaticly illustrate this point.

According to the Washington-based Joint
(‘enter for Political Studies tJCPSl. a research
organization studying black politics. blacks
turned out in record numbers to vote for Carter.

“We do not have all the figures compiled yet.
but our target area survey indicates that at least
62 per cent of the registered black voters cast
their ballot Nov. 2 in most states.“ said Oliver W.
Cromwell, director of a special voting survey for
JCPS. tThis compares to 54 percent for all

Americans i.

The survey also revealed that more than 90 per
cent of the black vote went for Carter. In the II
southern states. Carter captured 95 per cent of
the black vote while Ford won 55 per cent of the
white vote. In addition to giving Carter the south.
blacks were also able to deliver several key
states to the Democratic canditate.

According to the Christian Science Monitor.
"It is estimated that blacks provided the margin
of victory for the former Georgia governor not
only in the South. but in such crucial states as
Pennsylvania. Ohio and Missouri.

“In Ohio. for instance. Carter won by just over
7.500 votes. with 285.000 black votes.“

Ford edged (‘arter among white voters
nationally. But (.‘arter won virtually all the
states with substantial black populations. In the
end. this trend proved decisive. It also carries
serious implications for a future Carter ad-

ministration

Blacks were obviously dissatisfied with the
Ford administration and rightfully so. Although
they have fared reasonably well politically.
blacks have not done so well economically.

The median black family still earns only 60 per

cording to the US. Census Bureau. In addition.
the black unemployment rate is roughly twice
the rate for whites.

All this added to frustration over remnants of

Nixon ’s “benign neglect,” resulted in a landslide
black vote for Carter. It also places a strong‘
responsibilty on the President-elect to produce
positive results.

“If there‘s any unfairness about it (the Cabinet

minorities more representation than the
numerical portion would be."

But representation on the Cabinet is only the
first step toward genuine equality for blacks.
They have the right to expect from Carter an
administration that vigorously promotes equal
opportunities in all areas. and not just in a few
administrative positions.

Carter squeaked to victory on the hopes of
black Americans. If he lives up to his pledge to

A student’s guide to a meaningful experience

In Monday‘s Kernel. Jim
llarralson‘s column offered
suggestions to the harried student
about getting a good deal during this
week's registration. Harralson said
that since the present advising
system is so bad. the student must
land can) do the job of advising on
his own if he wants to take the right
courses.

He said that the student‘s own
initiative would thus serve to
promote “more meaningful
academic experiences" as the fruit
of registration. Then he offered this
advice on how to look for help:

“READ. . . .

“GET AN ADVISER. . . .

”ASK ABOUT YOUR STUDENT
ADVISORY COUNCIL. . . .

"SEE STUDENT GOVERN~
MENT. . .

Those are pretty good suggestions,
especially when“ the resultmtf'ail
those labors might be“. i‘more
meaningful academic experiences."
I mean. when I was in college. I
always thought getting an ‘A' was
nice. A very meaningful experience.
indeed.

To that end. I offer my own
suggestions to aid in the search for
More Meaningful Academic Ex-
periences Through Good
Registration Practices.

SPONGE. Don't do all that boring
research to decide what direction to
go in yourself. Ask somebody who‘s
already done it. If you ran around

campus collecting all the literature
you could collect to tell you what to
do with your life. you'd probably
never have time to register and you
wouldn‘t be able to make up your
mind on what to take if you did.

FORGET YOUR ADVISER. If you
don‘t ha ve an adviser. request one at
your department chairman‘s or
college dean‘s office. Then you can
see how useless it is to have one in
the first place. He probably knows
less than you do about what you
want to know anyway.

And if you can‘t even think of what
you want to know about in the first
place. he can‘t help you at all. And if
there aren‘t any jobs available in
your field to begin with, why bother?

If you aren‘t satisfied with your
present adviser, you may want to
get another one, but above all else
don‘t make dreone you have-mad.
You might really need him
someday. Like when you need a
reference to get into law school or
something. If you wind up angering
him anyway. you could still get into
law school by running for Student
Government or some other
pr'tstigious body.

.\lr lliXsori seems to imply that a

had a brilliant leader since FDR and
that .ircliides those presidents who

President Ford stressed the need for

its energy requirements. llc
repeatedly cited the need for a
eohesrie energy policy which he.
\lilliam Simon and later Frank Zarb
develoiwd and presented to the
t'ongri-ss

\s for the New York (‘ity
situation. .\lr Ford's stt‘adfastness
lll refusing to bail out the city
prevented him from setting a

dangerous precedent. I doubt if any
President. Democrat or Republican.
would have bailed the city out.

The federal government should
not be expected to assume the
f‘inancialburdenofthe cities. All you
need to do is multiply the New York
(‘ity situation by five or six times
it‘hicago. San Francisco, Los
Angeles. Washington. Philadelphia.
etc. i and it becomes evident that the
federal government would be
bankrupted trying to bail all the
cities out. .lerry Ford wisely kept the
lcderal government out of a
situation that would only have led to
a disastrous strain on the federal
treasury.

Mr. llixsm further states that
Ford's strengths were peace and
trust but not prosperity. The fact
remains that this nation will be in a
definite state of economic im
provement over its previous con-
dition when .lerry Ford leaves of-
llCt‘.

We no longer have double digit
inflation. and the country is coming
out of the recession. Slowly. yes. but
out of it nonetheless. People do not
seem to realize that inflation and
recession one exceedingly complex
problems that cannot be solved
quickly.

Finally. Mr, llixson links a series
of events in August. September and
October to what he calls “bumbling"
on Mr. Ford's part. The fact is that
Mr Ford has no control over these
events nor could he be expected to.

The investigations into Mr. Ford‘s
backgmund and the release of the

 

General Accounting Office‘s report
on the Mayaguez incident were
coincidental with the presidential
campaign. Mr. Ford could have used
his power as President to delay
these potentially damaging reports.
but he did not. If that is the kind of
"bumbling“ he is guilty of. then I am
all for it.

As for President Ford‘s failure to
“know where he was" while he was
out stumping. it is easy to see how a
man could become confused when he
is flying all across the nation
speaking in several states in one
day. After a few days of stumping
the pace begins to take its toll. As
long as we are discussing memory
failure. let's not forget the man who
could not even remember the name
of his running mate tJimmy For-
d‘.". i.

Earl Rutz‘ injudicious. ill-advised
and offensive statements certainly
cannot be called bumbling on the
part of President Ford. It was
“bumbling" on the part of Earl
Butz. Mr. Ford‘s handling of the
situation may have been slow and
hinted of politics. but the fact
remains that he arrived at the right
decision.

Mr. llixson suggests that Mr. Ford
“humbled" the whole affair by
firing Rutz. thus offending the farm
belt favorably disposed to Butz. Mr.
llixson seems to be saying that
politics and not human dignity
should have been the overriding
factor in President Ford‘s decision
about the llutz affair. If this is the
case. then I will not even try to

explain President Ford‘s decision as
it obviously would have no effect.
President Ford‘s remark cori-
ceming Eastern Europe probably
was the only one that hurt him.
However, I believe that Mr. Ford
was trying to say that the United
States will always hope that Eastern
European nations will continue to
express their autonomy from the
Soviet Union and that the United
States will always be willing to help
those countries in declaring their

independence from Soviet
domination.
Mr. llixson states Mr. Ford

“accented the humble by failing to
admit his ‘misunderstanding‘ im
mediately." Perhaps it was not
President Ford who misunderstood
the situation but the American

people who misunderstood his an- .

swer because of his poor choice of
words.

Mr. llixson's cornriientary at
tempts to show President Ford's
lack of leadership. I feel that Mr.
llixson fails to see the style of
President Ford's leadership. It has
never been brash or hold because
that is not the nature of Gerald Ford.

Effort to end war
Syrian troops descend into Beirut

BEIRUT. Lebanon [AP] ——
Syrian tanks and troops de-
scended on embattled Beirut
from three directions Wed-
nesday in a swift occupation
designed to extinguish the
19-month civil war. House-
wives and shopkeepers waved
from balconies and cheered
from open windows.

“If they’re coming to help
our country, then we welcome
them 100 times,” said Joseph
Salloum, a grocer in a Christ-

ian quarter on the southeast-
ern edge of the city, as the
Syrian T62 and T54 tanks
clanked into the capital in a

In southern Lebanon, the
leftist Lebanese Arab Army

claimed six Israeli tanks and
personnel carriers attacked
the town of Bint Jbeil, three
miles north of the border, and
were repelled after an hour-
long battle. In Tel Aviv, an
Israeli military command
spokesman called the report
of a border crossing nonsense
but refused to comment fur-
ther.

Israel has repeatedly de-
nied any direct involvement
in the Lebanese civil war, but

, l mine were killed as they

were preparing to leave the
shaft, a federal mining in-
spector said Wednesday.

Ray Ross, a federal Mining
Enforcement and Safety Ad
ministration engineer, said
rescue teams passed through
the area where the bodies are
located and sighted eight of
them.

The rescue team was in the
area to make sure two loco
motives in the fatal section
are incapable of causing
sparks that could cause an-
other explosion in the mine.

“They had gathered at the
area for the purpose of com-
ing to the outside when the
blast occurred,” he said.
“The rescue team, they did
not want to look closely, they
wanted to get out of there.
They were in there just a very
few minutes, just long enough
to take a look at the battery
locomotives.”

“As of now, we haven't
observed that much of a
disturbance in the section,”
Ross said. “The mine sur-
faces are black from the
explosion, and there’s no
doubt all 11 men were killed
imtantly.”

Kentucky Mining Commis-
sioner H. N. Kirkpatrick said
no attempt was made to
remove the bodies because

Gilmore appeared in hand-

during an extraordinary ses-

black-robed justices, “I be-

and I think the sentence was
proper, and I’m willing to
accept it like a man and wish
it to be carried out without
delay.”

Boaz as counsel for Gilmore.
This effectively relieved the
two court-appointed attor-
neys who had filed Gilmore’s
appeal over his protests.

No one has been executed in
the United States since 1967.

“It is unique and ironic that
the attorney generals office
and my client take the same
position on this matter,” Boaz
said.

if there is a military threat
inside an unspecified “red

The unopposed Syrian take-
over of Beirut marked the
first time the Lebanese capi-
tal has been occupied by a
foreign power since [1.8. Mar
ines landed here in 1958 to
stop another civil war.

Lebanese military sources
working as liaison with the
Syrians estimated 5,000 Sy-
rian soldiers took part in the
move on Beirut, with at least
100 tanks and an equal num-
ber of armored personnel
carriers.

The Syrians swept through
east, north and south Beirut.
but left Moslem and Christian
militias and Palestinian guer-
rillas still face-to-face along
the central Beirut front.

“Both sides are being sur-
rounded by Arab peace forces
before disengagement of
combatants and dismantling
of street barricades begin, so
that neither side can chal-

lenge the peace enforcers," a
spokesman said.

is similar to the one that was removed from her ab-

after surgery over 20 years ago. The clamp that was
removed broke apart. X-rays in the background show
the clamp in her body.
