Vol. LXII, No. 41

Election '70
Cowger, Mazzoli Await
Absentee Ballot Count
3rd
LOUISVILLE (AP)-T- he
District congressional race at
Louisville was so close today
that the official returns may not
be known for several days.
Even then, a recount appeared
certain, and the cl iffhanger could
wind up in the courts.
Democratic state Sen. Romano Mazzoli, a young attorney,
and former Louisville mayor William Cowger, the Republican incumbent, were locked so tightly
that the outcome hinged on absentee votes possibly 900 at
Louisville.
That process might take a
couple of days. Meantime, Cowger, clinging to a slender lead
with two precincts still uncounted, has asked for a full recount.
As a result, Republican incumbent William Cowger has
asked both the U.S. marshal
and the FBI to keep dose watch
on Convention Center downtown, where ballots are counted
officially.
Both Claim Victory
Earlier, Cowger, a former
Louisville mayor, and Mazzoli,
a young lawyer and freshman
state senator, made contradictory
victory claims.
This was the situation as both
sides eyed each other warily:
The unofficial Associated
Press tally showed Cowger ahead
by 57 votes out of about 100,000
cast with two precincts not reporting yet.
The Democrats, saying they
have counted all precincts, reported Mazzoli with a two-vot- e
lead.
The Republicans' tally indicated a
victory by Cowger, seeking his tlurd straight
term.
Kentucky voters returned the
six other incumbents four Democrats and two Republicans
in uneventful U.S. House races.

In Jefferson County, voters
approved the expenditure of $7
million toward construction of a
new General Hospital and detoxification center but rejected
the rest of a $58 million county
referendum. The $7 million will
be added to $6 million approved
for the hospital in a 19G5 bond
issue with the total to be matched
by federal funds.
In the single Court of Appeals race, Republican Homer
Neikirk of Somerset won eight-yeterm, defeating Democrat
Bernard Davis of Shelbyville.
All eyes remained on Louisville, where the Cowger-Mazzo- li
contest was even tighter than
forecast in the final days.
Both candidates may have implied victory far too soon. Less
than three hours after polls closed
Tuesday, these were their remarks
at respective party headquarters:
Cowger: "I feel very good
even though I've never had a
close one before."
Mazzoli: "I think we withstood the demeaning brand of
politics that my opponent

Radio Station to Ask
For Boost in Power

By S.M. WINES
Assistant Managing Editor
The campus radio voice,
WBKY-Fwill apply soon to
the Federal Communications
Commission for a boost in power
that would increase the station's
coverage from a portion of Lexington all the way to adjacent
cities in the Bluegrass.
The application is the result
of a chain of events that may
have begun, oddly enough, with
the construction of the
Patterson Office Tower a few
hundred yards away from
WBKY's studios in McVey Hall.
"Our signal radiates out just
like light from a light bulb,"
said Don Wheeler, station director, "and that office tower really
takes a chunk out of it. The construction of high-ris- e
buildings
on campus has blocked out a lot
of our signal."
As a result, the station is preparing an application to the

Wheeler said the FCC application actually came about as
a result of four local developments:

The rapid growth of suburban Lexington.

Zumwinkle said that in the
past the board had "exercised
restraint" in administering campus publication and he anticipated they would do so in the
future. He said there was a desire on his part for the board
to have some sort of political
balance.
Steve Bright called the student members "a real good

them ideologically." He said the
students were picked more for
their concern and interest in campus publications than for political reasons.

Biology 100 Notes
Are Selling Well
Dy ALICIA DAY
Kernel Staff Writer
A new trend in classroom
g
may be developing on
campus.
The system, developed by UK
students Mark Taster, William
Cates and Harry Sheevers, has
been initiated, they say, to facilitate the effectiveness of Biology 100 class lectures.
One person takes notes in the
lecture. Cates makes photostatic
copies giving them to Paster for
stencils. The copies are then sold
before and after the class on the
next class day.
Sheevers introduced the concept of this experiment, recalling
a similar project at the University of New Mexico, which he
attended last year. He said the
project was successful on that
campus.
Sheevers said the experiment
is not "intended to help students cut classes. Its main objective is to facilitate students
who are serious about their
classes. This way they can buy
the notes and then sit and listen to the lectures, instead of
frantically trying to write everything down that the prof says."
On the UNM campus, copies
of lecture notes were sold at 10
cents each. Sheevers said that
they are not seeking a profit
here, and will sell their copies

SAN CLEMENTE,

Calif. (AP)
The Secret Service, reacting
to reports of possible exaggeration of violence by antiwar demonstrators at President Nixon's
appearance at San Jose, Calif.,
last Thursday, issued an unusual
statement Tuesday attesting to
damage to the President's limousine.
In addition, a group of newsmen was taken to the Western
White House and permitted to inspect the vehicle minutely. It
indeed was marred or dented in
many places.
Lilburn E. Doggs, assistant
director of the Secret Service for
protective forces, said the visible
damage "could only have been
caused by rocks or other hard

objects."

penses.
Because they still receive a
profit gain, he added, some copies
are given away.
"In classes of large sizes,"
said Sheevers, "students can find
it easier to buy good notes rather than sit in a huge theaterlike classroom fighting the acoustics problem."
Since the experiment has met
with "overwhelming success" so
far, plans have been discussed to
arrange for a more wide-scal- e
project which would include all
classes consisting of 50 or more
students.

If these plans materialize,
Sheevers said his group could
furnish paper at a minimal expense to anyone wishing to sell
notes on a particular lecture.

Democrats won control of

Although President Nixon and

done well in crucial Senate battles, the COP gain of just a couple of seats was far short of the
Republican goal.

The Democrats picked up a
handful of seats to bolster their
House margin, meanwhile, and
scored a near sweep of the gubernatorial races.
Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien said
that "The President and vice
president would be hard put to
call this anything but a Republican defeat."
The GOP, led by the stumping of Nixon and Agnew, had

hoped to pick up seven seats to
control the Senate.
But, with the Indiana race
still undecided at
today, the GOP showed a net
gain of only two. Agnew asserted,
however, that aside from party
labels the ideological balance favored the administration.
That remained to be seen. In

Perhaps never have the UK campus and
citizens of Kentucky become so upset concerning something as petty as the 1970-7- 1 Student
Directory. While matters of monumental impor-tanc- e
to the Commonwealth are mentioned only
hundreds of people are pulling their
ij casually,
hair over the cover of a phone book.
This year's campus telephone directory is
indeed unusual. Supervised by SG President
Bright, the book contains the most nearly
, accurate
listing ever assembled of students.
It appeared much sooner than most previous . - ',
issues and it contained a number of innovations, including a directory of faculty members
a badly needed addition.
?

But these matters are not what has caused
statewide attention it's the cover of the damned
thing. There's a quote (accurate but surely misleading) from President McVey, "A University
is a place; it is a spirit: it believes in truth,
protests against error, and leads men by reason
rather than by force.
Then there are a couple of photos of state
cops leading by reason some men who are protesting what they consider an error. No one
I
denies the photographs are true, and we all
believe in truth, but really . . .
Many people have become violently upset
by the photographs. None of these people are
at all concerned about the reality which the
photographs depict. It's fine and noble to bring y'
the National Uuard and Ky. Mate Police in to

be shot for reminding us of it.
Granted, the cover shows dramatically what
the University should be and what it has bewants a relevant phone

book cover? What we really need is another
picture of the Botanical Gardens (it would be
the third consecutive year).
The solution to the students' problem is a
simple one: in a single massive thrust a student
can rip the cover from the book.

But the problem of the poor advertisers is
more complicated. Although they wanted no r.

control over the cover of the book, they are now
implicated for their ads are enclosed by it. They J v, os
certainly cannot withdraw their ads. How would
students ever find out there was a benevolent
merchant standing by to accept their money?

Perhaps the controversial book will actually
increase the market, for more people will inspect 5 !I 3
the book and its ads; nevertheless, it's the principle of the thing everyone knows the advertisers are in business only to help struggling
students along their straight way.

hardly censure it as they attempt to censure
other publications. All they could do was send
Vice President Al "Connoisseur" Morris around
to sample all similar phone books and determine this one to be in "very bad taste."
Obviously it's all very petty. In fact, it
took one of America's three best newspapers
