PPD says elevators safe
despite reports of ‘falls’

By WILLIAM PATTERSON
Kernel Reporter

Loud crashing noises have been
heard coming from the elevator
shafts in the Patterson Office Tower
(POT). But the elevators are not
falling, according to Jim Wessels,
director of the Physical Plant
Division (PPD). “Engineers from
the elevator company are con-
ducting routine safety checks,”
Wessels said.

The safety tests were necessitated
after the elevators were
reprogrammed in August. “We had
a lot of complaints about the
elevator operation so we changed
the program in August," Wessels
said. The new program is designed
to get more people out of the lobby
faster, according to Wessels.

Apparently something in the
safety devices was altered by the
new program. “We had two or three
occasions when the. elevators sud-
denly stopped when school opened in
August. We had to get all the
elevators checked from top to
bottom," Wessels said.

"Normally we would wait until
Christmas vacation to conduct these
tests, but since we had several
complaints, we are doing it now,”
Wessels said. The complaints arose
when a couple of passengers were
shaken up by sudden stops in the
elevators.

Many of the passengers involved
in these incidents had the sensation
that the elevator had actually fallen
between floors. But the elevators
cannot free fall, according to Jim

Miller of the Dover Elevator
Company, the company that in-
stalled and regularly services the
elevators in POT. The free fall
sensation is caused by the elevators
sudden stop when one of the safety
devices is tripped.

There are several safety devices
built into every elevator. “Five five-
eighths inch cables are attached to
each car. These cables are rated at
23,000 pounds per cable. It’s im-
possible for all five cables to break
simultaniously,” Miller said. “A
governor located in the penthouse
will automatically stop the elevator
if it is traveling faster than 700 feet
per minute,” he said.

“In addition, if the brakes fail to
stop the elevator, there are steel
wedges under each elevator which
will extend and stop the elevator,”
Miller said “A free fall cannot work
because the emergency limit switch
will cut the entire system off,” he
said.

Miller said the company services
the elevator twicea month and gives
them a major inspection once a
year. The noise heard now is a result
of these annual tests according to
Miller.

Betty Davis, a secretary in the
department of computer science,
said a letter of complaint about the
elevators had been sent to UK
President Otis Singletary.
Singletary sent a letter
acknowledging the situation and
assuring the complainants the
elevators were safe.

Many rumors have circulated
about the elevators in recent weeks

according to Davis. “We heard last
summer that the elevators were
falling. When the noises started this
week the same rumors began again.
Today I called the Physical Plant
people and they said engineers were
conducting tests," Davis said.

One of the people involved in one
of the sudden stops was Bobbie
Colby, a secretary in the political
sciences department. She was riding
in an elevator from the 16th floor
when it suddenenly stopped between
the 14th and 15th floors. “1 had some
back pains but I wasn‘t really hurt,”
Colby said.

Wessels also thinks thata free fall
in one of the elevators is impossible.
“If anything, the elevator will
probably go up and not down
because of the heavy coun~
terweights attached to each cable,”
he said.

Wessels is confident that the
elevators are in excellent operating
conditions because of their bi-
weekly inspection and servicing.
Any time there is a complaint about
one of the elevators, it is checked
into immediately, according to
Wessels. The Dover Company will
send over trained technicians
anytime during normal working
hours, according to Miller.

In spite of the few bugs that have
arisen in the safety sensors, the new
program is a real success, according
to Wessels. “The elevators in the
POT handle an incredible volume of
traffic in the course of a single day.-
We are very enthused that we are
handling these people faster than
ever before,” Wessels said.

Noon on Wednesday. In the block

Homecoming

By BETSY PEARCE
Kernel Sta ff Writer

A week of events and some subtle
changes mark this year's
homecoming activities, Nov. 1
through 6, according to Marianne
Smith, homecoming chairperson.

“Since this year’s theme is ‘Happy
Days,‘ we‘ll focus each day of the
week on a different time period,
beginning with the '205,“ Smith said.
“We're not necessarily talking about
the '50s, but just good times at UK.”

On Monday, Nov. 1 at8 p.m. there
will be a free concert in the Student
Center (SC) ballroom featuring the
group Satchel Paige.

Classes on Tuesday have been
cancelled because of election day,

That wasn’t even at a real problem
area.”

UK would like to close Rose Street
to through traffic but the city of
Lexington, who owns the street,
insists on keeping it open, Padgett
said. “I can't say i blame them.
There aren‘t many alternate routes
running parallel to Rose."

Some possible solutions, ac-
cording to Padgett, are widening the
road so islands can be placed in it, a
pedestrian tunnel under the road or
a bridge over the road. Each option
has drawbacks, he said.

“Widening the road will not
necessarily solve anything. It will
probably only encourage greater
speed." Padgett said.

A tunnel would be dark and
potentially dangerous, he said.
Students may be reluctant to use it

solution in sight

for that reason.

Construction of a bridge would
probably be impractical because
steps would be involved, Padgett
said. “I have no doubts the students
wouldn’t use it."

Jack Blanton, vice-president for
business affairs, said he has
discused possible solutions for the
Rose Street problem with city of-
ficials. “The University can‘t solve
the problem alone because the street
belongs to the city," he said.

An ideal solution would be to make
what‘ is presently Rose Street bet-
ween Euclid Avenue and Limestone
Street a pedestrian mall with a
traffic tunnel running beneath,
Blanton said.

However, he added, the cost of
such a solution is prohibitive from
the city‘s point of view.

’76 will feature a variety of events and a few minor changes

and Smith said that an all-day event
is tentatively planned. The annual
footba ll-throwing contest will be that
day at the SC.

Wednesday, a campus talent show
is planned for the Complex Com-
mons, and on Thursday, a malt-
drinking contest will be held at the
SC around noon. There will also be a
Fonz (of TV‘s “Happy Days“) look-
alike contest at the same time on the
SC patio.

Thursday’s activities will be
capped off with the traditional
parade from Memorial Coliseum, up
Rose Street, to Commonwealth
Stadium. The parade starts at 7
p.m., followed by a pep rally at the
stadium at 8 p.m. '

Pep rally chairperson Betsy

Hultman said a large turnout is
expected. but “it sort of depends on
how well the football team does
between now and homecoming."

During the pep rally, the finals of
the football-throwing contest will be
held, along with a mascot contest.

"In the mascot contest, any
organization may enter a contestant
dressedupasanything,"Smith said.
"The winner will be determined by
audience applause, and will be on
the field in costume during the
game."

The week will culminate with
Saturday's homecoming game
against Vanderbilt. “Pre-game
activities will include presenting
princesses from community
colleges,“ Smith said.

During halftime. the homecoming
court will be presented. the float
trophy will be given and helium-
filled balloons will be released. she
said.

"This year we really want to get
the whole campus involved with
homecoming), and not just the
Greeks.“ Smith said. Keeping that
in mind. some changes have been
made in a couple of activities.

For instance. this year‘s float
competition will have two divisions:
big and mini. Smith said the new
"mini" division is designed for the
smaller organizations. and their
floats will only have to be about the
size of a golf cart.

Smith feels that in the past, the
Greeks have dominated float

competition, and “we‘re pushing for
more dorms to participate. We want
total campus involvement.”

Tradition will be shattered this
yearas there will be no homecoming
queen. instead, there will be a
homecoming royalty. consisting of a
royalty winner and this or her)
court.

Bud Schneider, royalty chairman.
said the change should prevent
problems. “if a male receives the
most votes, he‘ll be crowned as king,
rather than male homecoming
queen,“ he said.

“The rules are still the same,“
Smith said. “Information packets
are out, and aganizations have until
the 14th to submit candidates.“

Smith said that candidates are
interviewed by three judges, who
narrow the field to 16 finalists.
Contestants are then voted on by the
school on Oct. 27 through 29, and the
royalty will be announced Nov. 1 at
the SC concert.

Expressing hopes for a large voter
tum-out, Smith said, “We're having
the voting the same time as UK’s
mock election, thinking that maybe
this will bring more people out to
vote.“

The complete list of homecoming
events is not available yet, but will
be announced within the next few
weeks Smith said. “More events
and details are upcoming, but some
are still indefinite," she said.

Government control can

increase voter turnout

Election analysts are generally in agreement
now that voter turnout for the Nov. 2 election will
be equal to or below the all-time national lows of
1920-24. Probably less than 50 per cent of eligible
voters will bother to pull a lever.

The World Handbook of Political and Social
Indicators reports that in the mid-60’s, the
t'nited States ranked near the bottom of the heap
in voter participation among Western countries.
Paradoxically, the great American system of
free elections we hear about actually has a
dismal level of participation about equal to the
third world nation of Barbados.

These alarming figures from the mid-60’s do
not tell the full story of low American voter
participation A downward trend which took hold
after the 1960 national election and is continuing
today is not fully reflected in World Handbook
poll.

Pr‘estrrnatrn: men. American voter par-
ticipatiorr is even worse than that poll reveals.
How can a nation which advertises itself as a
world leader (.‘uittpal'e so badly with countries
with similar ~y5‘ciris'?

The America r. y oter registration system is the
primary ca uSe for low turnout. Most other
Western governments are responsible for voter
:‘t'gi>tt'iltioii grit their turnout proves that such
a system is more effective.

Though the system of voter registration in the
t S is the 11'. erriding cause of low turnout, it is
not the only reason. Studies have shown that if
the (CS. gm'ei-mrwnf registered voters instead of
relying on self—registration. participation would
be around 00 per cent.

But the meat: average of 18 countries with

similar competit 1" e systems is about 83 per cent.

11.29;. ( )"tf. govt-z nment registration would
prisumably case the soreness but not heal the
wound of a poor voter participation record.

Another no son for the low voter participation
is the two-party system The Republicans and
the llcnitk'r‘ats simply are not as effective in

 

getting out the vote as they used to be. Clearly.
one reason for this is the fallout from Vietnam-
Watergate CIA-FBI.

This theory seems well founded as the World
Handbook poll reveals a trend toward lower
participation since 1960, just before the heyday
of the Vietnam War and the revelations of
government perpetrated atrocities.

Sinking voter participation is a sad comment
on public regard of the system. But the problem
iscompou nded by the fact that those voting seem
to represent one class of Americans—upper to
middleclass whites.

This means that the very people who most
need reform, which can only be achieved
through the efforts of elected officials, aren’t
involved in selling their causes through the
power of votes.

Unemployment, welfare and tax reform are
among the significant American problems af-
fecting the lower middle class and the poor who
aren’t voting. Changes in these areas, in the
form of public policy, are not likely to be made as
long as those who need the reform most are not
pushing for it.

Finally, it’s an unfortunate truth that the
presidential candidates are doing nothing to
promote voter registration. The latest campaign
harangue concerns who bought President Ford’s
green fees and who bought the shotgun shells for
Carter’s weekends at the hunting lodge.

While we don't support big business handling
the social lives of candidate‘s for the nation's
highest office, the candidates must begin a
sensible, down-toearth discussion of the critical
problems in this country. Instead, Ford is riding
the “you know my record" theme while Carter
offers only idealistic rhetoric.

Oct. 4 is the last day for voter registration for
the Nov. 2 election. Unfortunately. government
and the candidates haven‘t provided the impetus
for that remaining 50 per cent of Americans to
sign up.

   

A few years ago, Playboy carried
its ranking of the top 10 drinking
schools in the nation. An asterisk
next to the number one school leads
the reader to a footnote: “We no
longer list the University of Ken-
tucky because they no longer qualify
for amateur standing."

()bviously, drinking is a state
pastime.

The Kentucky legislators must
have written the alcohol regulations
in the middle of football season. The
rules are set up likea football game,

really. When you‘re under 21 and ’

there‘s a law that says you can’t buy
liquor. you want to see how far you
can carry the ball without getting
tackled.

There's no way of knowing
whether people at UK who just
happen to be under 21 try to play this
game. It‘s probably best. therefore,
that we use the case of our friend,
Pilgrim.

Pilgrim is 19. He has a fake ID.
that says he‘s 24. And he looks like
he's 12.

Pilgrim's girlfriend is Betty Sue
Baker. Presently, this 20-year-old
lass has a job singing country music
at Tiffany's Tavern. And Pilgrim
wants to go hear her sing.

Now. Pilgrim. like most people,
has a vague notion of some Ken-
tucky law about being 21 and
drinking. But as to the subtleties and
penalties. he‘s just as foggy as the
rest of us.

In this game Pilgrim is playing.
the. fact that he's under 21 definitely
makes him an ineligible receiver.
t‘nder that same law. it's illegal to
sell to anyone even a person over
21 who is “actually or apparently
under the influence of alcohol."
Under a very reasonable reading of
the rules. the minute a bartender
sells a person a drink and watches

Consumer focus
The drinking game:

watch out for penalties

him drink it, that person is, “ac-
tually" under the influence of
alcohol.

But it is the minor who usually
takes the rap of being an ineligible
receiver.

So what about the person with a
good fake I.D., like Pilgrim, who
uses it to buy liquor? In pro football,
there’s a play— the 53 defens&
which uses a roving middle
linebacker. In this game, the rules
provide a 21 defense—which uses a
roving middle-aged bouncer.

If Pilgrim uses his fake"l.D.’

(illegal- pasing) to get intoTiff'aiiy's' "

Tavem, and then gets caught,
Tiffany‘s is not necessarily liable.
The rules provide that when the
retail firm has good reason to
believe the illegal receiver is over
21. either by physical appearance or
documentary evidence, the firm
uses the bouncer.

Even when an eligible receiver
buys alcohol. it can sometimes
result in use of the 21 defense. This
usually happens when the eligible
receiver purchases alcohol and then
“hands off" to a minor.

The eligible receiver is not guilty
of a violation if he has no reason to
suppose that the person he “hands
off" to is a minor.

Receivers aren‘t the only ones
cited for infraction of the rules. The
retailer is subject to punishment for
not enforcing the rules. He can be
fined up to $500 per violation or he
can be kicked out the game (have his
license revoked).

The private individual could also
be taken out of the game for the rest
of the season (jailed for up to 12
months) and assessed a $500 fine for
a (‘lass A misdemeanor.

Even if the ineligible receiver is
simply sent to the sidelines when he
tries to purchase, he can be fined up

to $100 for the following reasons:

—entering premises to buy or
have served alcoholic beverages.

—possessing, attempting to
purchase, or having another pur-
chase alcoholic beverages.

—-misrepresenting age for the
purpose of purchasing alcoholic
beverages.

Suppose, then, an ineligible
receiver does not go to a bar to
procure alcohol. Like Pilgrim, he
just wants to go to hear the band.
Unless there‘s an athletic event
going on (this is the wording of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
regulation), Pilgrim is violating the
rules. A Kentucky . Attorney
General’s opinion in 1969 defined
dancing as an athletic event, but
there’s a fine line between “loafing
in a licensed premises” and
engaging in an athletic event.

In other words, just going to listen
to the band without even taking a
drink puts Pilgrim off sides. When
he can show he hasn’t been drinking,
though, he will probably only be
kicked out of the bar.

Betty Sue Baker is in a more
comfortable situation. By being a
part of the halftime show (as an
cmploye of the establishment) she is
breaking no law as long as she does
not imbibe.

It‘s important when one plays the
game to know the rules. But, as in
any game, some penalties are more
costly than others. Where a referee
(any representative of the ABC,
including a local police officer) calls
a foul, the ineligible receiver will
usually have a choice.

The penalty forusinga fake ID. is
$100. The penalty for refusing to
show identification could be a
vagrancy charge. Unfortunately,
when faced with such a choice, the
bestadvice is to drop back and punt.

to meeting this challenge.

federal budgeting process is symp-
tomatic of his determination to
reorganize the federal bureaucracy
so that it will become more
responsive and comprehensible to

the average citizen.

Carter is convinced that the mind-
boggling jumble of agencies can and
must be rationalized. “We must give
top priority.“ he says, “to a drastic
and thorough revision of the federal
bureaucracy. . . and to the
procedures for analyzing the ef-
fectiveness of its many varied
services. Tight business-like
management and planning
techniques must be instituted and
maintained, utilizing the full
authority and personal involvement
of the president himself.”

Although Carter does not promise
a drastic reduction in the number of
federal employes, he is certain that
his plan of reorganization will result

in fewer tax dollars being consumed
in administrative expenses and
more being spent in the actual
delivery of services.

Creative budgetary reform and
restructuring of the federal
bureaucracy are themes Carter has
continually discussed. When
considered with his program for
opening up government to its
citizens, it becomes apparent that
what Carter is really talking about is
giving the government to the people.

The first step in citizen control of
government is citizen understanding
of government.

ERA

Alimony would go to men, women

By MARGARET K ILLEY

One of the loudest outcries against the
Equal Rights Amendment concerns its
potential to weaken the nuclear family.
Opponents claim men will not be obligated to
support their family and therefore the
family will weaken. Many people are con-
vinced that the law requires men to support
their wives in all circumstances and that
these existing laws will be eradicated if the
ERA is pased.

 

commentary

 

I believe a large percentage of people who
hold these views are financially secure and
able to either provide generously for their
family a receive generous provisions. I also
believe many people are simply not aware of
provisions made in cases of economic
hardships.

So we must look at the facts and ask the
question, “Are the economic rights of
women adequately protected during
marriage under the law?”

In order to deal with this quation, we must
take a look at the legal precedents; the 1953
case of McGuire vs. McGuire involving a
wealthy Nebraskan farmer and his wife is a
good example. They had been married for 34
years and the wife referred to herself as,
“dutiful and obedient.” She had done all the
domestic work in addition to raising
chickens and working in the fields.

In return, her husband gave her only a
very small amount of money which did not
cover the basics. Their house had an
inadequate furnace, no toilet, bathing or
kitchen facilities and broken down furniture.
The District Court ordered the husband to
make repairs and improvements on the
house worth several thousand dollars. They
stated the wife should be provided with the
“necessaries (ii-life.” ‘She was awarded a
personal allowance of $50 a month.

Had this been the extent of the case, a legal
precedent would have been set and the
commonly held opinion that men are legally
obligated to economically provide for their
family might be substantiated. But the
Nebraska Supreme Court overturned the
ruling. The court ruled“that the living
standards of a family are a matter of con-
cern to the household, and not for the courts
to determine, even though the husband’s
attitude toward his wife, according to his
wealth and circumstances, leaves little to be
said in his behalf . . . In order for any kind of

 

Letters

settlement to be made, the parties must be
separated or living apart from each other.”

Becaus of the above case and others
involving intact families, it may be con-
cluded that the ERA will not have direct
impact on day to day relationships between
husband and wife; the reason being that the
law currently does not enforce any par-
ticular code of relationships between
husband and wife.

In cases where there has been a marital
split, alimony and child support often clash
with commonly held beliefs. For example,
the anti-ERA group will make the claim that
women do and shall continue (if the ERA is
not pased) to receive alimony payments
regardless of their financial situation. In
contrast, the data available shows that the
woman’s ability to support herself is taken
into comideration. Also, research shows that
alimony is granted in a very small per-
centage of cases. When it is granted, child
suppa't and alimony rewards are very hard
to collect. The average father in a divided
family is contributing less than half of the
child support.

Before the no-fault divorce cases, there
were instances when a woman could get a
better settlement out of court than in court.
At one time, the husband could be induced to
settle generously in retum for his wife’s
cooperation in securing the divorce. But with
the onset of divorce granted on grounds of
irreconcilable differences, those generous
settlements are becoming rare.

Also, in many instances, the husband’s
prospects for remarriage are given much
more consideration than the wife’s prospects
for remarriage when she is left with major
respmsibility for child support.

The ERA would require complete equal
treatment of the sexes. The amendment
would not deprive the woman of legal sup-
port rights and it would not weaken the
fa ther’s obligation to support the family. The
ERA would not invalidate laws permitting
alimony to women but instead would extend
the laws to include men. The ERA would be
