UK professor addresses conference

Job openings spur Lexington's growth

By MONTY N. FOLEY
Kernel Staff Writer

Lexington‘s phenomenal growth rate--
from a city of 174.000 residents in 1970 to
more than 207.000 today--“has generated
this meeting.“ Mayor Foster Pettit said
Friday as he convened an Urban County
Government conference on growth
management.

In brief remarks. Pettit said there are
“healthy aspects" within the metro area
‘hat have contributed to such a sizeaole
population increase.

UK Economics Prof. Virgil Christian.
who spoke after I’ettit . said numerous
conditions in Lexington and outlying areas
of the state have contributed to the
population growth

Above all. Christian said the expansion
of Lexington employment opportunities
has had the greatest impact on population
growth

Basic manufacturing industries such
as IBM. Parker Seal. Square D and Trane,
which collectively employ more than 9,000
people. actually support more than 30.000
persons given the size of the average local
family. Christian told the more than 200
Lexington government. business and civic
offiCials.

Persons supported by these basic in-
dustries. in ‘um. require many goods and
services. and this further stimulates

Evidence of Lexington's growth is apparent in this view of downtown — a recently constructed high rise

dominates the skyline.

Christian said.

birthrates in the country. which com-
pounds the problem.

employment opportunities. Christian said.

The growth of employment opportunities
in the city is reflected by the some 19.000
new gob-holders. who have joined the
Lexington labor force since 1965. Christian
said. With the addition of those workers a
‘otal of 91.000 persons were employed in
‘he city as of 1974.

While other cities are beset with
unemployment rates as high as eight or
nine per cent. according to Christian.
Lexington's unemployment rate is less
‘han three per cent.

_Ilowever. Christian cautioned that the
current low unemployment rate in
Lexington could be concealing chronically
unemployed persons who have simply

available in Lexinton in recent years. and
with relatively higher per capita incomes
in Lexington than in other parts of the
state. Christian said there has been a
significant "in-migration" from rural
Kentudty--especially from the state's 48
Appalachian counties.

“Henry Jones might pull up stakes and
move from Stanton. in PoweIICounty. to
Lexington if he thinks he'll increase his
lifetime earnings enough to justify the cost
of making the move.“ Christian said.

But the lure of "additional" income isn‘t
'heonly reason people move to Lexington.
he added.

“There are counties ill Appalachia in
“illch 30-35 percent of the disposable

“Hence. for many (rural Kentucky)
people--young people right out of high
school—coming into the labor market in
cities such as Lexington" offers them the
difference between expected income in
Lexington a nd zero income. Christian said.

Migration from Appalachia into
Lexington and other cities has also been
spurred by increasing mechanization of
the coal industry. Christian said. ”Today.
extra workers in the field don‘t increase
'he output of coal."

The lack of employment opportunities in
Appalachia leads Kentuckians to
Lexington and elsewhere. Christian said.
He said Appalachia has one of the highest

“Even though the Appalachian counties
have suffered a net out-migration of
around 800.000 since 1950. there will be
more.“ Christian said. “And Lexington
will certainly get plenty of them-three.
fourfive-thousand a year I would guess, at
least for the next five years."

However. Christian said this in-
migration would not erode the quality of
Lexington‘s labor force. “Migrants (from
Appalachia) have better than average
schooling“ according to the 1970 census.
Christian said.

While Lexington has and continues to
offer immediate employment op
portunities to many Kentuckians. others

Hut-bile must meet
with developers

The Lexington County Council
should be commended for its
decision to hold a Special meeting
Jan. 28 to discuss parking plans for
the Lexington Center.

The Council approved a con-
troversial parking plan on Dec. 30
that would entail demolishing
approximately 130 homes. The
plan, endorsed by the Lexington
Center Corporation (LCC) and
backed by Mayor Foster Pettit,
calls for a 15.3 acre surface
parking lot in the South Hill
residetial area across from the
center.

Many South Hill and concerned
Lexington residents presented

petitions and spoke against the
approved parking plan Jan. 15.
The residents favor a plan for a
parking structure proposed by
Councilwoman Pam Miller. Under
the proposal the structure would be
built on land already acquired by
LCC.

With the abnormally low housing
vacancy rate in Lexington,
studeits, too, should be concerned
over a plan which could potentially
demolish 130 homes. Now the
Council has given interested
citizens a chance to be heard. It is
left up to all of us to attend the
meeting.

 

 

 

   
   
 
   
 
  
    
  
   
    
    
   
    
    
    
   
  
   
   
 
   
 
 
 
  
 
  
  
 
   
 
 
 
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
   
 
 
  
   
  
   
 
    
   
    

 

 

Chili started

ByJohn Bums

Not so much by her critical evalu-
ation of a newly opened chili emporium
as by her unenlightened of exactly what
constitutes good chili has Suzanne
Durham‘s article on Lexington’s dis-
appointing restaurants (”Gold Star
Chili ranks high on list of Lexington’s
disappointing restaurants,” Kernel,
Jan. 14) triggered this "Stream of
Consciousness.”

To begin with, it is quite evident from
her definition of chili, that Durham is
not from the Cincinnatinorthern Ken—
tucky area. Just as the natives of
remote uncharted Pacific islands de-
vel0ped their own cultures, languages,
mores and value systems, so for some
reason have we, the peeple of metro
Cincinnati (Hamilton, Butler and War-
ren caunties in Ohio, and Kenton,
Campbell and Boone counties in Ken~
tucky). We say ”Please?" instead of
"Pardon me?” "What?” or ”Huh?” a
constant source of amusement to
Oevelanders and other non-Aryans at
01io State University (Cincinnatians,
you see, do not fit into society). We
crive our "machines” at incredibly
slow speeds, and regard Oul' crosswalks
as sacred. In Lexington,
Columbus, New York and elsewhere,
many a naive Cincinnatian has made
the fatal mistake of assuming safety in
crossing streets betWeen the two white
lines when the pedestrian signal says
”Walk.”

And, aside from occasional visits to
such establishments as the Golden
Lamb and Southern Trails restaurants,
Ramey's Cafeteria and Izzy Kadetz
Kosher Deli, almost every man, woman
and child in the Tri-state attends chili
parlours regularly, whether of the
Empress, Skyline, Dixie or Gold Star
persuasion. This chili is not the thick
heavy starchy Mexician variety to
which Durham alludes, but a moister,
more exotically spiced, highly addict-
ing miasma, born in Bulgaria, Mace-
donia and Greece, and nurtured in
swthwestern Ohio-norhtern Kentucky.
And lustas New Yorkers have the right
tocall "pop" "soda" though it continas
no ice cream, so we Cincinnatians can
rightly call our national dish “chili."

 

 

in Cincinnati

Explorers from New York and other
areas, after having experienced our
local delicaCy, have carried tales of
delight and e'c‘s‘i'acy to the New York
Times, the Boston Globe, the San
Francisco Examiner, and other resp-
ected journals. The New York Times
cites one addicted Easterner who
makes periodic pilgrimages to Cincin-
nati to feed his habit, feed his face, and
smuggle a supply of Empress Chili
back East. And Skyline Chili has
Opened a branch in Fort Lauderdale,
Fla., much to the satisfaction of our
transplanted brethren and others.
\Mthout even attempting to evaluate
the Gold Star’s chili, it should be
obvious to those of us from northern
Kentucky that it’s inspiration comes
from Cincinnati, the home of the Gold
Star chain. And, the chili with or
without spaghetti, onions, and yes,
orange cheddar cheese, are all ways
our national dish is served.

As for Durham’s comments on the
decor, the plain formica-topped tables,
metal chairs and fluorescent lights are
a trademark of Cincinnati Chili Par-
lwrs. In fact, it is conceivble that an
outlander such as Durham would have
had to have been hog—tied or forcibly
dragged into the old Empress Chili
Parlour, across from the Greyhound
Bus Depot in downtown Cincy, since the
layers of grease on the front windows,
mirrors and the dirty blue and tan
painted walls would surely have driven
away all but the stout-hearted. But that
beautiful ugly decor was a welcome
sight to many Cincinnatians returning
home after being away even a short
period of time.

What all of this seems to be leading
up to is: a Cincinnati chili parlour is an
entity understood and appreciated only
by those of us from the metro area and
by a select few aliens with epicurean
k nfidels such as Durham may
be experts in iudglng the quality of
Kentucky Fried Chicken, spoon bread,
and MOuntaln Oysters, but they and she
should leave the iudging of chili
parlours to those of us who know from
experience and understand the true
essence of such institutions.

Legitimate use

Editor:

—I was happy to see the Kernel give
some atbntion to the current Citizens
Band tends. However, I was disap-
pointed to find that Ron Mitchell ("CB
Craze is New Phenomenon," Kernel,
Dec. l0) gave the impression that all
thosewho are not truckers or other long
distance travelers are incompetent
"CB Freaks” having no legitimate use
for C8.

As a licensed class ”D” station
opera tor I would like to say a word in
favor of citizen band radio. Mitchell
noted the fact thatC B radios are used to
warn other mobile operators of the
presence of ”smokies.” He made no
mention of the fact, however, that CB
traffic is presently monitored by many
police departments and other
authorities including a number of units
of the Kentucky State Police. In my own
home town of 7,000 the local police
monitor channel 9 —~a channel
respected by even unlicensed operators
for emergency only communications.

These authorities can and have been
summoned to the scene of an accident
by a CB operator where a phone is not
readily available. With a greater
chance of a CB operator being in the
area, the chances are greater that
authorities will be summoned to a scene
of anaccidentor crime in a short length
of time. CB also provides a mode of
communication for small businesses
where commercial band equipment
would befinancially outcf the question.

It is true that there are those who
make a fool of themselves on CB, but
there are a great number who eniOy
and respect citizens band radio.

lfeelheneedtorepeatthe
arguments presented to the Kernel on
the racist nature of the opposition to
busing. Some letters since then, par-
ticularly Alvin'lsaacs Dec. 8 letter
(”Psychotogy”), have made this
necessary.” prevent what I said frOm
being tohlly distorted.

Again lsaacs’ letter confuses bigotry
and institutionalized racism. He states
that I must be a very good psychiah'ist
to know the consciOusness of all cp-
ponents of busing and to know they are

sonscious racists or bigots. That was
precisely the pointof my first letter: 1.
Not all people against busing are
bigots. and 2. Thatbeing against busing
is racist because that position main.
tains white privilege. The privilege of
having relatively good schools nearby
to go to. I would still argue that it has
been a lmest 22 years since the Supreme
Court decision and schools are still
"separate and unequal." I would still
argue that to stop busing would delay
desegregation and equal education
indefinitely. And finally I w0uld argue
thatdelay is racist no matter what the
intentions of'so'me of those against
busing.

lsaacs goes on to blame busing for
stirring up racism and violence and
groups that support Black rights (like
Student Coalition Against Racism) are
breeding violence and hatred. This is
not a new argument its called blaming
the victim. I hate to disturb lsaacs’
psychology but it is not black peOple
that are burning buses or throwing
concrete. They are not the cause of the
violence. Likewise, by demanding
equal rights they are not the cause of
racism. They are victims of racism.
The guilt of violence lies not with those
seeking equality but with those seeking
to maintain privilege.

Those of us who want equal and
quality education for both black and
white peqale must realize what is at
stake and actaccordingly. We must not
be foiled by racist arguments that
blame black people for demanding
equal education and for the violence
committed against them. We mustfight
against inequality of education .and
when that fight has been won fight for
quality education for all.

Child

By Naomi Chase

 

 

 

Nev; Yuk Tim News Service

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — in Jan-
uary, the Massachusetts Department of
Social Services reported ”an alarming
increase" of child-abuse cases during
1974 and predicted that they would keep
rising. By June, Jack Hagenbuch, the
department’s coordinator of protective
services, was saying that cases had
nearly tripled. 'ln 1974 we were
averaging 58 cases per month. This
year it is more like ISA and still

dtild abuse avoids dealing with the
larger problems it implies.

For one thing, stiffer reporting laws
do not really help much. Since few
private nhvsicians report child-abuse
cases, the abuses reported are likely to
be those known to public agencies, city
hospitals and welfare services; they
involve people at the bottom of the
system. which in America are the
minorities and the poor. The same is
rue in (ther countries in New
Zealand, for example, where child
abuse studies show the incidence is

There are plenty of explanations for
the fact that the poorest. the least

are likuly to strike out at the children.
Nlr. Light, using data from sociologist
[hvid Gil‘s nationwide survey, shows
the most common factor among abus-
ing families t: be the lack of jobs.

The theory of social deprivation is
given equal weight by most United
States experts with the theory of
materna' deprivation. This argument is
that a lack of mother-love as a child
prevents the development of parental
instincts and causes people, when
parents themselves, to abuse their Own
children. However, it the definition of
child abuse includes that which is
meted out by caretakers in custodial
institutions as well as that meted out by

In the short run we would do best to

per cent to 10 per cent of children whose
parents are beyond help, most would be
better off to remain in their home while
the family got some assistance. Unfor.
tunately, what most families need goes
beyond what social-work agencies have
to offer.

An end to corporal punishment in all

Christian said since 1950 students

Classifying education as a

the influx of students yields a

Receive little recognition

Debotors win consistently

By ROY FUGI'I‘T
Kernel Staff Writer

If you want smooth talkers--
we‘ve got 'em. And they‘ve got
the trophies to prove it. The UK
debate team won over 80 trophies
at invitational tournaments last
year. said Dr. J. W. Patterson.
debate team coach and speech
professor. But despite its suc-
cess. the tea m ha 5 received little
recognition. Patterson estimates
that in his four years as coach the
squad has won over 250 awards
and trophies. Last year‘s team
finished third in one national
tournament and in the runner-up
position at the other. This gave
UK the distinction of being the
only university in the nation to
place in the top three positions of
both national tournaments. UK
also received an individual
award at one of the national
competitions. the Delta Sigma
Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha National
'I‘oumament early last year.

Gil Skillman. A&S junior. won
the individual speaker award at
that tournament. During the
current season. Skillman and his
new partner. Gerry ()berst. A&S
senior. took top debate honors at
'he UK Rational Round Robin
‘oumament in October. and at
‘he l'niversity of Georgia
Rational Itound Itobin in
{\ovemlier. They also won at the
West Invitational Tournament
several weeks ago in Califor-
Illa.

Skillman's partner last year.
Mary Thompson. was enticed by
the Wake Forest coach to enroll
at that university by what Pat-
'erson jokingly calls “the
ultimate extreme to get a good
debater." Thompson married
'he coach and is presently
debating for Wake Forest.

The other top UK debating
‘eams are (iuy (‘anipisano. A818
sophomore. and David Donovan.
.-\&S junior; and the team of
liavid Iloward. A818 sohpomore.
and John McClung. A&S junior.

In competition earlier this
month. (‘ampisano and Donovan
went undefeated through eight
straight rounds to win the Drury
t‘ollege Annual Round Robin
Debates in Springfield. Mo.

They then proceeded to win
second place in the Southwest
Missouri l‘niversity tournament
also held in Springfield. The
Kentucky pair dropped the final
debate 'o the l'iiiversity of
Kansas.

Willie other l'K ‘eams were
making ‘helr presence known in

ix'come accustomed to anony
mity. He qualified that by adding
that he sometimes resents being
mknown when he gets into a
“jock mood" and thinks of the
football team's coverage despite
its poor season.

tihersl attributed the team's
lack of recognition to the fact that

   
 

but is geared to a specific
audience. "Debating is on the
intellectual level.“ he said.

With a strong winning tradition

UK maintains its, position among
the five debating schools in the
ration competing against such
schools as Harvard. Kansas and

Southern California. Patterson

and his squad praise the advan-

tages of their debating experi-
eice.

Patterson said the chief value
of the competition is the promo-
tion of “intelligent. effective and
responsible advocacy." while
allowing the students to become
acquainted with some of the best
minds in the country.

He said debate teaches
students to “analyze and
research. which sharpens their
skills in reflective thinking.”

The students. on the other
hand. expressed a more practical
view of debate‘s advantages.

Mct‘lung and Howard. who both
plan to attend law school. said
debate research techniques are
very beneficial. especially when
writing papers for class.

Skillman and Oberst said they
have benefited from their in-
creased research ability—they
know where to look for in-
formation. The ability to
(rganize and use their research
material. to analyze problems
and arguments. as well as
generally knowing how to work
under pressure are also gained
from debate. they said.

Because of their experience.
Skillman and ()berst are able to
see fallacies in political speeches
and in television commercials.
they added.

(‘ompetition teaches a person
‘0 better express himself which
would be advantageous when
encountering a prospective
employer. Skillman and ()berst
said. '

Much practice and travel is
required of debators and this
'axes their academic and social
life. Although they said they
enjoy debating. the six find they
are always behind in class and
must r
