State suing Rentex rental service
after misrepresentation charge

By M. TIMOTHY KOONTZ
Kernel Reporter
and
RICHARD McDONALD
Copy Editor

Lexington’s rapidly growing
population and its yearly influx of
college students have combined to
produce a rental housing market
tightly bound by a vacancy rate of
around three percent.

One firm has been formed to take
advantage of this situation: Rentex
of Lexington. Rentex advertises
itself as “serving the nation with
rental information.” But the state
Attorney General saysthe company
misrepresents the services it offers
and is suing Rentex for consumer
fraud.

According to Rebecca Cullen,
assistant attorney general, Rentex
is violating an agreement with the
state which stems from court action
in 1975. At that time, Rentex agreed
to stop representing itself as a rental
agency when, in fact, all it does is
provide customers with lists of
housing available for rent.

Rentex locations in Lexington,
Louisville and Covington still
provide their customers + for a $40
fee — with such lists.

Became Rentex doesn‘t guarantee
the availability of the hwsing in
writing and became it provides no
other services besides the lists, the
state considers the firm in violation
of the 1975 agreement.

The local Rentex office maintains
lists of apartments, houses and
farms in metropolitan Lexington.
Included in each listing are the
rental price, the landord’s phone
number and general characteristics
of the rented property—whether
pets are allowed, if milities are
included in the rent and if the home
is air-conditioned.

Rentex lists the property free of
charge to landlords. All that is
necessary to have a piece of
propaty listed is a call to the Rentex
office.

In response to questions on the
methods used to secure property for
the lists and about any Rentex
guarantees, T.L. Hall, manager of
the company’s Lexington office said
he had been ordered by his super-
visors in Louisville not to respond to
questions about the firm. Hall‘s
supervisor, Zane Allen could not be
reached for comment.

Lexington’s Better Business
Bureau said it has received seve‘al
complaints about Rentex since the

March across town’ campus

Iranian students protest

‘

By DEBBIE MCDANIEL
Kernel Staff Writer

Bearing banners and chanting
“Free the 12," members of the
Iranian Moslem Student
Organization and other students
marched yesterday to protest the
charges against anti~CIA demon-
strators arrested April 12 at the
Student Center.

The protestors gathered at the
Fayette County Courthouse
downtown and marched from there
to the Student Center patio. After a
20 minute parse, they resumed
marching across campus to
Funkhouser Drive, then turned
down Rose Street towards the Public
Safety Building at Rose and Euclid.

For nearly an hour they continued
their demonstration outside this
building, which houses UK police, to
display support for those arrested
during CIA Director Stansfield
Turner‘s speech.

In addtion to the criminal charges
filed after their arrest, three Iranian
students face disciplinary action
from the Dean of Student’s office for

their participation in the April
protest. Dean of Students Joe Burch
said yesterday that “the ones we
have identified as students we intend
to talk to about violation of the
student code."

The arrests of the 12 protestors
(including one juvenile) were made
by UK police during Turner’s speech
which was held in the Student Center
Ballroom. Approximately 50 people
picketed the event, chanting and
carrying signs denouncing the CIA’s
involvement in Iran

Whar individuals carried signs
into the ballroom and shouted
protests dining Turner‘s speech, UK
police arrested them on charges of
disrupting a prblic assembly and
took them to the Lexington Deten-
tion Center. ,

According to UK Police Chief Paul
Harrison, “all of the people
arrested, except the three
Caucasians, gave false names
during the booking because they
didn‘t want their names registered
back in Iran as protestors. We did
contact (federal) Immigration
(officers) to determine the proper

company opened here in Augrst
1977. All of the complaints were
handled within the company,
however.

In order to ga a first-hand view of
Rentex’ services, Kernel reporter
M. Timothy Koontz, posing as a
home-hurter, visited the company’s
Lexington office. Here is his report:

Ins‘de the Rentex storefront on
East Main Street, the furn’shings
are spartan except for large plastic
maps covering the walls and signs
informing the customers of Rentex
locations in the U.S., Canada and
Australia. Behind the service
counter, Rentex employees stand on
a onefoot riser when dealing with
customers.

When potential customers inquire
about Rentex’ services, employees
courteously assure availabilities
which will satisfy customers’ needs.
If the customer is in need of a three-
bedroom house in a nice neigh-
borhood for $90 per month or a two-
bedroom apartment for $250 plus
utilities, Rentex employees assure
him that their listings include such
dwellings.

Customers are asked about price
range, location and type of dwelling

names and proper identifications."

Harrison said the department
waited approximately five days
after the arrests before talking to
the Immigration officals. “The only
reason we contacted them (Im-
migration)," he said, “was became
their attorney promised us that she
would bring the proper identification
to this office, which she has not yet
done."

Attorney Barbara Sutherland,
representing the 12 arrested,
disagreed with Harrison’s statement
concerning the number of false
identities given. “Two of them gave
their correct names,” she said, “it‘s
not clear that giving false names to a
cop is a crime."

Sutherland agreed that she told
Harrison she would provide the
identifications, but said, “We did not
tell him when we were going to do
that, and before we had an op-
portunity, we appeared at the
juvenile‘s arraignment and an
Immigration officer was there."

Sutherland said seven days
elapsed between the time she agreed
to provide real names and the

they wish to rent. They are only
allowed to see the listings of
available rental properties that
match the customer’s specific
characteristics.

0n the lists of two-bedroom
apartments near camprs in the $250
pe' month [rice range, four lan-
dlords' phone nunbers were listed
repeatedly.

It was discovered that all of these
are the phone numbers of managers

of large apartment complexes. .

Whar contacted, all the managers
said their apartments are listed in
the classified advertisements of the

'local papers. In addition, one

manager said the apartment on the
list had already been rented.

(Although the identification card
and customer contract given Rentex
customers states the company
doesn’t guarantee housing
availability, Lexington Rentex
manager Hall said the company
guarantees listed property “is
available and can be rented im-
mediately.”)

Rentex apparently has no
operating expenses other than
employee salaries, advertising and
office costs. Tire firm’s entire in-
come comes from the $40 charges
customers pay to see the lists.

arraignment date. Sutherland had
no comment about why she had not
contacted Harrison dicing the seven
days.

According to a leaflet distributed
during yesterday‘s cross-campus
march, the Iranian Moslem Student
Organization indicated that the use
of the Immigration official to
identify the demonstrators was an
act to betray them to their govern-
ment. The document contained the
followng allegations:

”When one of the arrested
Iranians had to appear in court last
week, officers of the Immigration
and Naturalization Service also
showed up and revealed that they
had been called in by UK police.
Clearly, UK arthorities are co-
operating (sic) with federal

secret police) in harrassing (sic).

Using the house of ideas

We cong'atulate University library officials,
who took advantage of an environment where
there is supposed to be an abundance of fresh

The library sponsored a contest to find the best
security improvement plan, and rewarded the
co-win ners with equal shares of the $1,000 prize.
According to Library Director Paul Willis, 15,000
to 20,000 books are stolen each year, at a cost of

about $90,000.

To solve the problem of book theft, the two

students made proposals that

additional measures, some that probably aren’t

The plans call for more thorough searches of
persons leaving the library and recommends
that they be required to empty carrying bags and

take off coats.

The suggestion will be effective in cutting
down on stolen books, but many people won’t
take kindly to the new measures. After years of

Letters to the Editor

 

 

Pooch

I sympathize with Holly
Schunacha' and her problems with
theleash-law enforcers (letter to the
editor, May I). But, unlike her, I
have no personal objection to the
city regulation.

Considering the traffic situation
around the campus area, combined
with my almost unnatural over-
dependence on my dog for com-
panionship, not to mention the many
lifeless unclaimed bodies of dogs
and cats I have tried not to see along
the Sidewalks of Maxwell and Rose
streets, I have never even corr-
sidered letting my dog run loose
around here.

A squirrel gathering acorns on the
other side of the street triggers a
dog’s natural hunting instinct, and
even the most intelligent and
rigorously trained dog can forget to
“look both ways.” I have seen too
many beautiful dogs, obviously AKC
registered, almost becoming bloody
messes under squealing tires on
Maxwell Street.

Dogs do not belong in the city. I
will be the first to admit it. The city
is a dangerous and mhealthy en-
vironment for them (and people too,
but that’s another matter).

Anyway. back to the problem with
the leash-law enforcers. 0n the
same morning that Ms.
Schumacher‘s dog was cited for
being loose, I arrived home from
classes to discover that my dog
Scout had pished the back screen
door open and was somewhere Out
There, alone, in the concrete jungle,
chasing squirrels and dodging cars.
Frantic. I immediately called the
humane society and told them of the
situation. Their response: “We’ve
already patrolled that area today.“ I
guess that was when Ms.
Schumacher’s dog got it. .

I quite naively suggsted that they
might cruise around again. I even
promised to pay any fines. The
woman on the other end of the line
very politely informed me that they
were very brsy all over town, but
that if someone was to complain

 

about my dig doing something in
their yards or emptying garbage
cans, they would come and look for
him. I hung up and comidered
calling back (with a disguised voice,
of course) and registering a com-
plaint against my own sweet Scout.

Instead, I called up the campus
police, and the dispatcher assured
me that she would alert the patrol
cars to be on the lookout for my lost
dog. (If that dispatcher is reading
this, thank you for understanding.)

Luckily, the story ends quite anti-
climactically. I found good old Scout
pointing a squirrel in front of the
classroom building. Somehow he
had crossed Maxwell, Rose and
Euclid without a scratch. But I can
still hear the horns hmking and tires
screeching in my imagined
memory.

The moral of the story? I shouldn’t
have gotten a dog before I got out of
the city. Right now Scout is wistfully
watching out the screen door as cars
flow down Maxwell at what sounds
like incredible speeds. He wants to
chase squirrels. At 5:30 this af-
ternoon, when all the professors and
secretaries have gone home for
supper, I’ll put him on his leash and
take him over to campus to sneak up
on the squirrels who think they
finally have the place to themselves.

pray I am the only Eli Simpson on
this earth, because I hate to think
more than one of us came from

I don’t know which letter you refer

Nothing, funny

There can be no justification for
the recent memo appearing in the
Kernel calling for Dean John
Stephenson’s resignation on grounds
of incompetence. None whatsoever.

In less than a column inch, Student
Government has, actively or
passively, taken the role as driving
force behind a petition amounting to
nothing more than an unjustified
witch hunt. For such a grave action
to be justified, it would have to be
extensively discussed and aprroved
by the senate as a whole.

Only after intensive discussion,
both of the circumstances promp-
ting the decision and of the con-
sequences such a decision would
necessarily have, and only after a
formal vote would anyone with even
the slightest concept of respon-
sibility allow Student Govemment’s
name to become associated with
such an action. And yet there was no
discussion. There was no vote. There
was only the irresponsibility of a
poorly conceived act.

As bad as the petition may be, it is
not nearly as bad as the attitude of
those within Studmt Government
who regard it as a joke. There is
nothing funny in the fact that this

petition has the potential to do grave
harm to the student-administration
rapport that Student Gova'nment
has worked extremely hard to
establish.

There is nothing funny in the fact
that this petition can make it ex-
tremely difficult for Student
Government to adequately
represent student concerns before
the administration. And, finally,
there is nothing funny in this
petition’s potential for destroying
Student Government’s credibility
before the very students that
Student Government must work for.

Whether this petition is the parting
shot of the old administration, the
0pm ing shot of the new, or the work
of a crank, the result of, and corr-
sequently the responsiblity for, such
an action must remain the same. An
administration must ultimately be
responsible for any actions taken
under its name. There is nothing to
be done about an unarthorized
action which takes the ad-

ministration by surprise, but if such
is the case, there is likewise no
excuse for allowing such an action to
continue. The administration of
Student Government owes no less
than a public apology, both to Dean
Stephenson and to the students of
UK, for I, what is undoubtedly the
most distasteful and disastrous
action it has taken all year.

Thanks, folks

I would like to take this op-
portunity to publicly thank Dr.
Herbert Drennm (A & S), Mr. Jack
Delap (A 8: S) and Ms. Patti
Frederick Rhodis (Department of
German) for their help and support
in my pursuit of professional school.
During the past two years, they have
helped me immeasurably with both

sound academic guidance and
much-needed moral support.
Although it is their job to help
students, the extra effort they put
forth is noticed and appreciated.
Thank you again and may God bless
you.

Names withheld by request

 

Another column from the man who
revealed the secret ingredient.

It was last Tuesday. I came to
school at the usual time. Strolling
through the classroom building, I
stopped to pick up a copy of the
Kernel to peruse before class. I
was doing fine until I hit the letters
section. There was something
disturbing there. I would like to
quote the section of that disquieting
letter:

john
cooke

 

“A keg of beer is on the line here.
so please tell us . . . is John Cooke a
real person. too. or is he merely
another schizophrenic
manifestation of your strange
Editorial Editor?" The letter was
signed by William I. (Bill) Dewe,
an Animal Science senior.

Well, you can imagine my sur-
prise to find that my very existence
was in doubt. it was quite un-
settling. I didn‘t attend my first
class, but instead rushed out to find
a local paper. Ripping it opar to the
last page of the first section, I
scanned the obituaries for my
name. I wasn‘t there. I muldn’t
think what to do next. I decided to
call my mother at home. She said
she remembered me quite well and
that she was sure I existed and
cortinued to exist. She had the bills
to prove it.

I felt a bit better, bit still not
corrpletely confident. My mother
was not the most reliable person. I
started to call my friends. All of

 

An identity crisis

In which the author confirms his own existence

them, with one exception, insisted
that I was indeed a “real person”
and that they had the bottles to
prove it. The one exception said
that none of us existed “except
Barbara Williams, but who cares
‘cause she’s still a virgin” and did I
want to buy some dope.

I still had some doubts and no
change left (besides, this idiot
wanted to use the phone) so I went
to the editorial office at the Kernel.
I wanted to find the Editor and
make sure that I wasn't a
manifestation. No one wanted to
talk to me. They just looked the
other way, coughed and said he
was out. I said that I hadn‘t seen
him all semester and that I
desperately needed some in-
formation. Not one person in the
office would even offer the most
minute bit of information.

Feeling reckless and panicky, I
pulled out a revolver and
demanded some immediate an-
swers. I screamed that it was a
matter of life or jest. They looked
very uncomfortable and finally,
the sports editor confessed that
Chas Main was a hopeless alcoholic
and had been in treatment since
February. He had not written a
single article since that time. I
asked who was writing his articles,
but no one seemed to know. I made
some threats and waved my gun
around until I was convinced that
they were telling the truth and they
were convinced that I was insane.

Running from the building, I
prepared to hide from the police. I
was certain that they would be
after me soon. and if i roved to be
a manifestation it wou d make the
legal procedures very tedious.
Time was running out and I had to
answer this question.

Climbing up the service stairs of
the office tower, I worked my way

up to the 14th floor withart in-
cident. Crouching low, .I moved
along the corridor, looking for an
empty room. I knew that I could
barricade myself in there and
claim to be a disturbed philosophy
mapr.

I found a room. There was a
student directory on the desk. I
looked up my name. I was there. I
looked up William 1. (Bill) Dewe.
He was there. I dialed the number.
Chas Main answered the phone.

“Cooke, I thought you would
never get my message. I am not at
all well.”

“That's nothing. I mightnot be at
all.”

“No, you are.”

“Are whom?"

“You.”

“Then who is William I. (Bill)
DeWe?"

(‘Me.’1

“'l‘hen-who is Chas Main?”

“Me, two."

“Why'?”

“Because I’m a hopeless
alcoinlic and I have an assumed
name. You read the first part of
this article."

“Sure, it all fits together now.”

“I guess you know who writes my
articles now, eh?"

“Eli Simpson?"
“Right, so that explains
why..."

Another year has slipped from us
like a dead fish covered with
Valvoline. See you all next year.
Wish me luck with my charge of
carrying and brandshing a deadly
weapon. Let’s all hope Chas Main
recova's soon. Eli Simpson has
almost wrecked the young man’s
career.

John Cooke is an English junior.
This is his last column ilk year.

Blood donation calls for precautions

Editor's note: This is the last
of a three-part series about
“blood banking" in
Lexington. Yesterday’s story
dealt with the processes of
giving blood and plasma.

By JENNIFER GREEK
Kernel Staff Reporter

Two plasma banks operate
in the Lexington area,
competing against the
Central Kentucky Blood
Center. Plasma Alliance and
Plasma Derivaties offer
financial incentive for
plasma donations, which can
be done as many as eight or
nine times a month.

Plasmapheresis, the
process of donating plasma,
is a nearly one hour
operation — compared to

' about 15 or 20 minutes for

whole blood donation. The
financial incentive makes
donation the
preferable process for many
students, although it is not
without its danga's.

The greatest single hazard
in plasmapheresis is the
possibility of receiving
another donor’s incompatible

cells. After blood is first
drawn, the red and white
blood cells and platelets are
separated from the plasma
and pumped back into the
donor's arm.

This process brings up the
possibility of one donor
receiving the cells from
another donor. Such a
mistake could trigger a
massive transfusion reaction,
which can be fatal.

For this reason, both

plasma centers take extra ‘

precautions — which include
four or five different safety
checks — with identifying
individual blood cells.

When asked about the

.health risks of staying on a

plasmapheresis program for
an extended period if time,
say five to ten years, Dr. Jon

'Gockerman, assistant

professor of Medicine in the
division of hematology
department, said this:

“The procedure itself is a
safe one and there’s no proof
that it does any harm for
about three or four months.
However, there is a very
practical concern among
those in the medical

Institute of Health that a
twice-a-week frequency for

a depletion of normal blood
proteins.

“In additon, there is a
theoretical concern that
constant stimulation of the
immune system may cause
damage and loss of certain
white blood cells that f
