Alear runs away from the field, takes Bluegrass

By DAVID HIBBI'I'I'S
Sports Editor

He was such a clear-cut favorite
that the show pool in yesterday’s
mile and one-eighth Bluegrass
Stakes at Keendand was eliminated
from the bettors. The horse which
amused such overwhdming odds of
1-9 was Calumet Farm's Alydar.

That Alydar won going away was
anti-climactic; in fact, it was ex-
pected. The Derby contender was
the center of attraction.

This spring meet’s highest at-
tendance and a record crowd of
22,512 for the meeting strained to
catch a look at the chestnut colt all
the way from the paddock to the
finish line.

Almost transcending the mass of
humanity were Calumet Farm’s
owners, Admiral and Mrs. Gene
Markey, who had their first close
look in a race at the 3-year-old which
could bring them their first Ken-
tucky Derby triumph since Forward
Pass won on the disqualification of
Dancer’s Image in 1968.

The Markeys, who are in their
eighties and confined to
wheelchairs, were driven from their
home by a Keeneland station wagon
all the way to a view from the rail at
the left side of the grandstand After
the race they told Alydar’ s trainer,
John Veitch, they were very happy
with a “job well-done. ”

Almost proclaiming a salute to the
base which Veitch said the Markeys
consider a part of the family, Adm.

Volume LXIX, Number 146
Friday, April 28,1978

Markey donned a racing cap briefly
before the station wagon pulled
away.

After the Markeys returned to the
neighboring Calumet Farm, the

cool, hit affable Veitch talked about i

the race.

“I’m very happy with the race,”
Veitch said. “It didn’t take too much
out of him."

Before the race, however, Alydar
was bobling his head and acting a
little stubborn going into the starting
gate. And when the gates opened, he
stumbled slightly.

“That (the trouble entering the
gate) is probably why he didn’t
come out straight,” Alydar’s jockey
Jorge Velasquez admitted.

But with his horse starting from
the far outside post position,
Velasquez held Alydar back in the
field for some anxious moments.
“He broke kinda slow, so right away
I got him into contention,”
Velasquez said.

Alydar laid back in sixth place
until the half-mile pole where he was
8v: lengths behind. One quarter-mile
later, he was in fourth with seven
lenghs of horseflesh still ahead.

“We decided we better go get him
(the runner in front). Sometimes he
thinks it’s all over when he goes by
(the other horses) too soon.”

Velasquez said he had to give
Alydar the whip a couple of times
down the stretch to keep his mind on
blames.

Central campus power
will be out late today

By CHRIS BLAIR
Kernel Reporter

Electrical power to five campus
buildings will be shut off today at
1:30 p. m to give workmen a chance
to repair a fallen main electrical
conduit.

Pence Hall. the Mining
Laboratory, the Journalism
Building, Lafferty Hall and the
M. I. King Library North will be
without electricity until 6 pm.
Saturday if all goes according to
plan, according to Physical Plant
Division Director JamesE. Wessels.

As explained by Wesseis, the steel
conduit encases two electrical
cables carrying 16,000 volts and Is a
primary swflier of electricity to
campus buildings The conduit,
running beneath Patterson Office
Tower and thmugh the basement of
the Classroom Building, is normally
anchored to the ceiling of a utility
tunnel.

“As far as we can tell,” said
Wesseh, “the anchors came loose
from the ceiling and the conduit
dropped one-and-a-lnlf feet onto a
steam line that is five feet off the
floor. I guess the anchors weren't
drivm in well the first time (in 1969),
but it seems it would have fallen
during the first year.”

The cables run though the
Classroom Building and branch off
to several campus buildings,
Wesels said. “If the wires had
broken, " he said, “we would lave
serious trouble because eight
buildings would have been without
electricity for three or four days.
That’s why we don’t want to let the
problem go any longs.

The fallen condu't was discova'ed
Monday when the line received its
regtdar biweekly inqeection.
Wessels said the decision was made
to delay repairs until today

‘because of students who are
studying. “

Adams, was the one which went to
the lead immediately and held it
until Alydar’s nearly belated charge
around the final turn.

“About the half-mile pole, we
noticed the horse had a good enough
lead (8V2 lenghs) on him for us to
make a move,” Veitch explained.
“The track was said to be fast, but it
was heavy and had a tiring effect."

Nevertheless, the horses who were
victimized by the condition of the
track included Raymond Earl and
other pre-race pretenders such as
Special Honor, Chabua, Entebbe and
Chop Chop Tomahawk.

Alydar's winnmg time was an
unspectacular 1:49 3-5, but it was
good enough for a 13-length victory,
the biggest of his career. Raymond
barely held off Go Forth by a nose
for second place.

“I believe so,” Velasquez an—
swered when asked if Alydar was
the best horse he had eva- ridden.

The only time Alydar’s composed
clan was almost shaken was after
the race. While being walked around
the paddock in front of h's stall,
Alydar reared up as part of the
crowd stopped to get one last
glimpse of the co-favorite for the
Derby.

“I’m nit confident about the
Derby,” Veitch said, comparing the
result of this race to ho expectations
for the first Saturday in May.
“We’re going to send him to Chur-

Evans prepares to leave UK post

By M.TIMOTHY KO0N'I‘Z
Kernel Reporter

“1 need not tell you that this is the
saddest action I have ever had to
make in my long and tempestuous
academic career.”

With this statement, Dr. Robert
Evans summmed up his
qualifications and mntributions as
the director of the UK Honors
Program in an emotional March 22
letter to all UK Honors students.

Evans recently described the
Honors Program as a “cross-
fertilization d mind and ambition
that comes when superior students
are grouped together.”

Now in its 18th year, the Honors
Program has grown from the

orig'mal 40 entering freshmen in 1960
to the present enrollment of 800
students “from nine different
colleges. .

Honors Director since 1966, Evans
has drawn a great deal of praise
from fellow administrators,
teachers and students for his han~
dling of the only UK undergraduate
program which actively recruits
members with special academic
qualifications.

None of the members of the
Honors Evaluation Committee—
which called for Evan’s removal as
Honors director—said his per-
formance has been anything but
superb. The dismissal was
recommended, according to the
committee report, to bring new life
and ideas into the program which

could not be instituted if Evans
remained as director.

According to Evans; he had‘in the
past submitted recommendations
identical to some of the Evaluation
Committee’s, but they were ignored
by the Dean of Undergraduate
Studies, John Stephenson. Evans
called some of the committee’s
criticism “simply untrue.”

Operating as an independent
academic unit with its own separate
budget, the Honors Program has
come under recent criticism as
being elitest in nature when com-
pared to other colleges.

Some critics have said the
University gives special treatment
to Honors students in the form of
easier registration procedures and
an independent faculty.

“Though the program does have
entrance standards. we take some
students who‘don‘t necessarily have
all the requirements," said Evans.
“One year, we even had a basketball
player who could barely write.”

Evan‘s background ranges from a
stint as a cryptanalyst for the US.
Army Signal Intelligence Service
during World War II to his present
position as president emeritus of the
National Collegiate Honors Council.

He has been a visiting professor at
Oxford University in England, the
University of Helsinki and the
American College in Paris.
Recently, Evans was offered an
Honorary Visiting Fellowship at the
Institute of Medieval and
Renaissance Studies at UCLA.

Germain will remain on Appeals Board

By GIL LAWSON
Kernel Staff Writer

Appeals Board Chairman Dr. Ken
Germain ha turned down a request
asking him to withdraw himself
from a case concerning a former
graduate student’s failing grades in
a social policies course.

The request was made on April 14
by the student’s lawyer, Mark

Services. Gibney is representing

appeal on the failing marks.

An appeal of the grades Nail got in
the course during the summer
semester was refused by Germain
because Nail had not paid his full
tuition for the semester.

Gibney and his client are in the
process of making an appeal on the
same social policies course, which
Nall took in the fall of 1976. Nall has
paid his tuition for this course, for
which he received a failing grade on
a bypass exam.

In the appeal, Nail says he was

discriminated against and charges
the grade was based on things other
than his classwork.

Gibney asked Germain to with-
draw himself becarse he considered
the board chairman biased against
Nall. Gibney said Germain had
“already made up his min " when
he refused to bring Nall's first ap-
peal before the board.

Germain said “I turned him
(Gibney) down. There is nothing
before the Appeals Board at this
time.”

In a letter dated April 14 informing
Gibney of his decision, Germain
said, “In considering your request I
reviewed the entire file and
concluded that there was no reason
for me to disqmlify myself."

Before Germain comiders Nall‘s
second appeal, Academic Om-
budsman Frank Buck must review
the case and decide whether his
arbitration efforts were un-
successful or whether the case
contains any merit.

STATE AUDITOR GEORGE ATKINS said Thursday his audit of the use of
state airplanes shows that seven flights on state-owned aircraft have been
made to the Bahamas in the last 16 months, including one round trip for a
potential Repiblican gubernatorial candidate.

Atkins said preliminary timings of his audit confirm published reports
that Gov. Julian Carroll has used state airplanes on four vacation trips to the

lie added that his auditors have taken testimony indicating that Louisville
nttomey Larry Forgy, a member of the law firm of former Gov. Bert Combs,
was flown to the Bahamas in the state‘s sevenseat Merlin aircraft on June

Carroll sets bad example

The report that Gov. Julian Carroll took four
vacation trips to the Bahamas—not oan a
state airplane, makes the “Julian’s air force”
episode more than just a minor indulgence on
Carroll's part, and more than just an example of
political nitpicking by his foes.

The fact that the governor did not quickly
report the earlier trips is disturbing, leaving a
general impression that Carroll’s administration
didn’t want the full story to come out, that it
preferred to ignore growing criticism, hoping it
would die away.

In a prepared statement, the governor said, “I
am convinced that the sole problem with my
recent vacation was my staff's failure to
adequately announce the details to the press tn
advance, as it should have been.” Poor enough,
but why weren’t details of the earlier trips (all
within the last 16 months) provided until direct
questions were asked by The Louisville Courier-
Journal?

On his vacations, Carroll stayed at a con-
dominium owned by a Madisonville
businessman, reported the Louisville paper in its
copyrighted story yesterday. The governor,
accompanied by his family on three trips, paid
only partial costs of the vacation expenses,
reported the story. The cost to the state for the
airline flights ranged from $5,000 to $10,000.

State Auditor George Atkins has been a
principal figure in the mini-scandal all along.

According to Atkins, who has launched a probe
into the affair, the governor should pay for the
trips. Attorney General Robert Stephens,
though, says that no violations of state law or
administrative regulations were violated by
Carroll’s vacation flights. The state Republican
Party, which requested Stephens’ opinion, is not
satisfied with it.

It’s probably not too cynical to say that politics
is more important than fiscal responsibility to
the officials who are both defending and at-
tacking Carroll. Atkins seeks revenge for the
governor’s attempt to cut the auditor’s funding
during the General Assembly, and he is also
making a strong run for the Democratic
nomination for the statehouse. While Stephers
is a political ally of Carroll, state Republicans
must be delighted at the governor’s mistake. A
politician who often seems self-righteous and
given to high-minded rhetoric, Carroll is a
vulnerable target to charges of hypocrisy, like
the “air force” escapade.

Although the money used up by Carroll is only
a fraction of the millions that are being wasted in
other government sectors, the symbolism at
such a high level is important. The governor sets
a bad example, whether illegal or not, when he
spends a large amount of state money for
vacations and then is reluctant to tell the full
story. Let’s hope the auditor’s investigation
helps establish a policy that will discourage such
spending in the future.

He was the amazing
expectationless man

By JOHN KEEFAUVER

CARMEL, Calif. —— There once
was a man natned Henry Blivit who
was so determined "to abide by the
Presidmplutfor all citizens to
lower their expectations that he
decided to rid himself of all his
possessions, his theory being that if
you didn't own anything you’d be
less apt to need or expect anything.

The car was first. For most of his
life it had been something to be
parked, stolen, towed, ticketed,
broken into or smashed. Indeed, it
was as if it had its own expectations.
He rolled it over a cliff and walked
home with a feeling of relief and
freedom.

His house furnishings were next.
He had a yard sale. A garage sale. A
sidewalk sale. The couch, the
microwave oven, refrigerator,
bathtub, balls of rubber bands. Out.
The dining room table, kitchett
table, ping-pong table, pool table.
The junk drawers, junk closets, junk
room. junk basement. All emptied
and out.

He closed off some rooms.

The telephone was next. Then he
called the utilities. Everything, off.

The credit cards. Snip, snip, out of
his life forever. And since he was in
his billfold, he snipped his driver‘s
license. And his library card,
medical insurance card, bank
check-cashing card. cards he’d
forgotten he owned. Snip. snip, out.

And then the wallet itself. An ugly
lump in his pants pocket gone
forever.

Do not own and you will not ex-
pect. Do not own and you will be
free.

He was the Amazing Ex-’

—He ate less and drank very little.
He didn‘t know how much he
weighed because he dropped his
bathroom scale off at Goodwill.

He pasted signs reading “Lower
Your Expectations" on all his
mirrors, then threw them in the
trash.

He stopped shaving and tossed out
his razor. He jumped on his
eyeglasses. If you don't see it, you
won‘t want it.

Kicking off his shoes, he never put
them on again. He threw away his
fingernail clipper. He left all his
clothes at his laundry and dry
cleaners and didn’t claim them.
Thirty days went by and it was all
over.

Then he closed off all the rooms in
his house except one, and in that one
he built a tiny cell, just large enough
to contain his body. He lined it with
cork to shut out all noise. When you
hear something, you may want it.

Then he sold his house.

At last, free. He owned nothing
and he had absolutely no ex-
pectations. Talk about being
patriotic!

Naked, he went to live on a
deserted beach.

Sitting there one day, gazing
happily at his feet, he sudtbnly
realized that, since he was sitting, he
didn’t need feet. He got up to hunt for
a knife.

But then he realized that for him to
have a knife, even momentarily,
was for him to own something, even
ifit was tobeused to rid himself ofa

But for all the wrong reasons.
Letters were written to the Kernel
criticizing the protesters, and the
Kernel even editorialized against
the “outside agitators” who at-
tempted to use Turner’s ap-
pearance to publicize the ClA's
support of dictatorial regimes,
notably that of the Shah of Iran.

The reactionary responses
amaze me. One letter writer to the
Kernel complained that his rights
were violated by the demon-
strators—his right to hear the
speaker of his choice—a view
supported by the Kernel.

Universities, according to this
view, are to remain scrupulously
objective forums where any
speaker, regardless of the point of
view expressed, can be heard
without disruption.

Thus, a Jensen or a Shockley can
lecture on the gatetic inferiority of
blacks, Angela Davis can lecture
students on Marxism, and Stan-
sfield Tumer can speak about the
openness and responsiveness of the
CIA.

But the University is a very
powerful entity, a state-supported
bastion of the status quo, training
today's youth to be tomorrow’s
leaders and defenders of freedom
and capitalism.

A smokescreen has beat thrown
around the real nature of the

concern expressed was for Tur-

were not trying to prevent Turner
from speaking. They were not
trying to shout itim down. They
merely attempted to stand in the
back of the room, to hold up sigm
visible to Turner, denouncing CIA
support for the Shah’s repressive
gova'nment in Iran. . _

They were arrested before
Turner ever arrived in the hall,
becatse Dean of Students Joe
Burch decided their presence with
signs in hand would be a
“disruption.”

According to University
regulations, an officer of the
University must decide when
actions become disruptions, and
must then inform the police that
arrests are warranted if his
requests to cease or disperse are
ignored.

Interviewed this week, Burch
said it was up to him to make the
decision, and that in his judgment,
having protesters stand in the back
of the room holding signs was
disruptive. He requested that the
police “restore order" after his
demands to the protesters to put
their signs away were ignored.

The Supreme Court, in the Near
decision over 45 years ago, ruled
against prior restraint of free
speech except in the following
cases: in wartime when national
security is threatened, obscenity.
or when violence may clearly
result. I submit to Burch that none
of these standards can be applied
to the night of Apr. 12.

Now, about th's criticism of
“outside agitators." Granted, not

in attendance, and many of those
who chose to protest, were not
students or residents of Lexington.
They were cntitl‘ to be there and
to dissent by virtue of their interest
in United States foreign policy.

It is my hope that the charges
will be dropped against the 12 who
were arrested for “disturbing a
public meeting," and an apology
issued by the University. Failure to
do so will be a grievous error.

Burch, Dean of Students and
formerly director of ptblic safety
for the UK Police, objected to the
tone of my intestions. He said I
sounded like a prosecutor, and he
thought I was advocating the point
of view of those arrested; titet
whert I interviewed him, I was not
being “objective," taking down
and reporting the “facts.”

I told him I thought the press and
public officials by definition
maintain an “adversary
relationship,” which is necessary if
the truth is to conte out.

It sounded as if he wanted me to
take his words down verbatim, and
print them, with no judgment or
discretion on my part. I could have
done it much easier if he’d just
givert me a press release.

But it doesn’t work that way. You
go to one source, get one side of the
story. You go to someone with
anotha- side, listen, then confront
them with testimony that differs,
and note the reaction and response.-
If that’s being a prosecutor, then so
be it.

Letters to the Editor

 

 

John walls

First off, to all of the bogus gape-s
who find it necessary week after
ungodly week to comment on
someone else's letter to the editor, if
you had spurt your time working on
solutions to the world’s problems,
your efforts would have gone as far
as your ratsbane rebiittels,
NOWHERE.

Second, to the illustrious writers of
the Kernel, l praise your febtlous
articles, both of them, which have
often saved my eyes from wen-
dering to the horrid graffiti
displayed on the wells d various
johns across campil. However, on

occasion when l have arrived on
campus before delivery of the
Kernel, l have found the john walls
just entertaining and thought
provoking, if not more.

Third, for every word, phaograph
or article written in the Kernel
concerning any aspect of greck
society, somewhere on this planet
lies a mouldering piece of lice shit.

Fourth, to all the sports writers,
Godrest their souls. who have spent
their time and energy trying to
geese 25,000 godthmn sports fans,
, ay I say that your efforts were
valiant. But they are best summed
up in the immortal words of the
retired vacutm cleaner salesman,
who once said about his old

vacuums, “they really sucked."

Fifthly, the one bright spot of my
four-year acquaintance with the
Kernel was a photograph which
appeared in the 1975 homecoming
edition of the Kernel. The photo
pictured a gorilla seated next to a
referee. The picture symbolized the
intent of the Kernel to serve use link
between the wild, enimelistic
student and the strict, enforcing
admin'stration. Isn’t that what it
means, Kernel folk?

You‘ve taken a lot of kicks.
Kernel. and you can tell, his whet
would we do withatt you? There are

repressive features of 8.1437

Letters to the Editor

Among its provisions are:
Section 1328 (demonstrating
to influence a judicial
proceeding) —this would
outlaw any form of picketing,
parading or demonstrating
within 100 feet of a federal
courthouse while any judicial
proceeding is in progress.
This section is unnecessarily
broad, and would limit an
important government ac-
tivity from public criticism.

The same problem is found
in Section 1323, which
prohibits attempting to
“improperly” influence,
obstruct or impair the

errcise of a legislative
power of inqui‘y. Thus,
demonstrating against a
legislative body, such as the
now-defunct House Un-
American Activities Com-
mittee, would be illegal.

The bill also reenacts the
ancient Logan Act (first
passed in 1799) which
prohibits communications
between American citizens
and officials of a foreign
government.

8.1437 poses a special
danger to the labor and peace
movements. Sections 1722
and 1723 (extortion and

blackmail), for example. are
so vague that they could
seva'ely jeapordize the right
to strike. The provisions
against “obstructing military
recruitment or induction"
and. ”impairing military
effectivaiess" could destroy
active opposition to future
Vietnams.

Other violations of civil
liberties contained in the bill
include: allowing illegally
seized evidence to be used in
sentencing proceeding
(3714); weakening the
Miranda decision by allowing
confessions to be admitted in

court. even though the
suspect wasn't informed of
his rights (3713): pamitting
judgts to refuse bail to a
defendant charged with
committing one of a wide
variety of offenses (350$.
and giving the govemmcnt
the power to appeal the length
of a sentence given to a
convicted person.

If S.l437-H.R.6869 is to be
defeated. wide—scale public
action is mandatory. Anyone
interested in fighting this
policestate measure should
contact their ['8
Representative immediately
and demand that they oppose
this bill. Time is running out.
