Jailed students seek study release

By GIL LAWSON
Staff Writer

Two Iranian U K students. injail for
disrupting a speech at UK last April.
will try to retain their student status by
filing for a study release.

The two students’ lawyer. Barbara
Sutherland. said she will file a motion
to obtain a study release sometime
before Monday. She said District
Judge Paul (iudgel will decide on the
motion since he heard the case. (iudgel
is out of town this week.

The two students. Ahmad Devari-
Nejad and Saeed Farlanyar. must be
enrolled as full-time students in order
to maintain their UK status and keep
their student visas.

Devari-chad received a jail
sentence of 45 days and Far/anyar
received a sentence of 90 days last
Friday when Gudgel upheld a jury's
decision. Both were fined $250 and
jailed under cash bonds of $l5.000.

Robert Paddock. director of
Lexington-Fayette County Detention

Services. said the study release would
allow the students to attend classes.
They would be required to stay in jail
at all other times.

He said the stttdy release would be
“no problem" and it has been done
before for ("K students.

Paddock said the students could be
released shortly before their classes
and then be required to be back injail
after they are finished with classes.

Sutherland said the students are
presently trying to keep tip with their
classwork' while in jail. She said the
only problem is that no hardhound
books are allotted in thejail. biit she is
trying to make arrangements with rail
officials.

She said “some people" have talked
with some of the students' instructors
about the classwork. but were told by
the instructors that they don't have
any say in the matter.

86 legislation and proposals

By KIM BROWN
Staff Writer

Six UK students are being paid to
research Student Government‘s
proposed state and local legislation
and resolutions because SG‘s
proposed bills have been repeatedly
rejected for lack of sufficient
information.

At a meeting held last Thursday for
students interested in joining the
research team. Billy Bob Renner. SG
vice president. said proposals are too
often rejected by the University
Senate. the Kentucky State
Legislature and Lexington-Fayette
Urban County Government because
of scanty background information.

As a result of the meeting. the six
students who expressed interest in
working on the committee were
assigned four research topics; the pros
and cons of teacher evaluation;
alleviation of Rose Street traffic
problems; the way other colleges and
universities fund programs from
collected student activities fees: and
information on grants. scholarships
and other aspects of UK's Financial
Aid office.

SG President Gene Tichenor.
Renner. SG senators and members of
the 56 Public Relations Committee
met with the interested students to
discuss the possibilities and effects a

Research Committee could have for
SO.

Tichenor said he hopes the
development of a Research
Committee will increase the chances of
implementing various proposals and
plans in various governing bodies.

Each researcher is teamed with a S(i
senator and the two of them work
together selecting research topics.
discussing preliminary facts and
choosing a mutual deadline for the
research.

Upon completion. the research is
typed into a report with footnotes and
a catatlog of references. It is then given
to SC for them to use at their
discretion.

Because the committee is in its
experimental stage. a method of
payment for the research has not been
determined. Tichenor said the
researchers will be paid in some form
for their work. Although nothing
definite has been decided. lichenor
said it is possible these students might
be given independant study credit.

Since the beginning of fall semester.
80 has bad forms in its office for
students wishing to get involved the
organization. After reviewing the
forms. S(i contacted the applicants
and invited them to attend the
meeting.

The S(i office has openin gs for more
researchers. and interested students
can apply in their office. One of the
senators at the meeting said. “It‘s a

decision by the crtd of the week.

A young man sits patiently iii the
waiting room of the county health
clinic wondering Iiow this could
happen to him. Mark (not his real
name) had heard a lot about venereal
disease. biit never thought he would
contact one.

In his mind he pictured at \'D clinic
housed in some heat tip old building
ready to collapse. staffed by X0-y car~
old nurses who would laugh behind his
back. Ilc was quite surprised to find
the clinic in a brand new building with
employees not much older than he.

liven though the comfortable
surroundings made him feel more at
ease. fie still had questions racing
through his mind.

"How will I break the news to my
girlfriend?" he asked. Mark wondered
how long the treatment would last and
its effectiveness.

According to the state Department
for Human Resources. the last fiscal
year showed the first decline after l5
years of reported gonorrhea in
Kentucky.

In Icvington. however. this is not
the case.

Steve Clark. a public health
representative with the Fayette
County Ilcalth Department said the
gonorrhea rate in Icvington went up.
For the I978 fiscal year the gonorrhea
rate was l0lb.5 per I00.000 people as
compared to 953 per |00.000 in I977.
And Lexington‘s gonorrhea rate is
above the national average.

Clark said in his opinion the main
reason for the increase of gonorrhea is
due to a number of circumstances.
First of all. the combination of people
being more sexually active plus a
decrease in the usage of condoms

However. Carter told the nationally

Noting that the House and Senate bills
would go to conference committee to
resolve the difference between them.
Carter said. "If the conlcrccs will take the

Unlike gonorrhea and herpes

A distinct feature of sy pliilis is its
phases. The primary stage lasts for
three weeks. Symptoms are painless
sores where the infection occurs. Ilie
secondary stage also lasts about three
weeks. A rash appears on hands and
feet and lasts for the duration of the
phase. The next stage is the "early

during this stage.

()ne of the many problems of
syphilis is that women very rarely
show any symptoms of the disease.
Most women find out they have
syphilis from their sex partner.
However. many times syphilis which is
not discovered in time can lead to a

UK hasan obligation to see protestors are
not deported 'or treated unfairly now

Ihe treatment ol the 'II people convicted Ior
protesting the Stanslield lurner speech last spring
has been grossly unl'air.

And the city ol Lexington. by condoning and
even approving the unlair treatment ol the II
convicted prisoners. has demonstrated a shameltil
trait ol xenophobia.

'I he issue is no longer whether the protestors were
justified in protesting the speech ol' the ('IA director
at the Student Center.

What‘s important now is that the Iranian students
be protected lrom deportation to their homeland.
where they would be Vulnerable to goverririierit
reprisals.

Ihe sentences meted out to the protestors are
absurdly otrt ol proportion to the crimes they were

louiid guilty ol. Ieii received jail terms ol 45 to 90
days. and all were lined $250.

For the violation. which amounts to a
disturbance ol the peace. the line alone would have
been sullicient. Wiili jail sentences. a suspension
would have been appropriate. Instead the
demonstrators received still penalties and had their
bails set at outlandish ligures. You can disagree
with the politics ol the Iranian Student Association.
but it‘s dil'licult to argue that the punishment lor
their protest was justilied. in comparison with
sentences tor most violations ol that type. And the
discrepancy in punishment only lends credence to
the protestors‘ charges olcollusion between the U K.

it has always been the policy ol the

bring pressure on militant Iranian
students and suppress the Iranian
news, Ihc US government and the
establishment Ivave always tried their
best to keep the American public
ignorant about the situation in iran. or

witnessed in the case ol the recent
unprecedented upsurge in the Islamic

people here on campus. acting like the

person‘s right to lreedom ol assembly

Ihis person was held aside by the
authorities and then released. Why
was this person released when he had
committed the same offense in an even
greater degree than the eleven who
were arrested lorjust holding up signs"?

I had not planned to take an active
part in the Iranians' problem. but I see
now that it is‘t just their problem. It is
the problem ol everyone on campus

to voice our opinions. or will someone
like the (‘IA come knock on our door
