Marathon
raises

$4,450

MARY ANN BUCHART
Kernel Reporter

“As long as we kept our feet
moving, we could study, crochet, or
even play tag. The music kept us
going. I'd feel likeI was going to fall
right over, then I’d get a spurt of
energy." After having ‘moved her
feet’ for 20 hours, Valerie Osborne
and her partner didn’t win the dance
marathon sponsored by the UK
residence halls this weekend, but
she “sure did get exhausted.”

Osbtrne was half of one of the 17
couples who entered the marathon,
held at the Commons. “I entered
just for the fun of it and because it
was a good cause,” she said.

The dance marathon, which ended
Sunday at 8 pm, was held to raise
money for temp KYSOC, a Ken-
tucky camp for physically han-
dicapped children. According to
Drema Wire, head resident of
Blanding IV and co-chairman of the
dance, the publicity that the camp
receives as a result of the dance also
helps them to get more money from

other sources.

Carroll hints disaster funds coming

Ry WALTER IIIXSON

Federal authtx‘ities in Atlanta will
reconsider an earlier denial to a
request for federal disaster relief
funds for agriculture damage in-
curred in the state this winter, Gov.
Julian Carroll said in an “ex-
perimental“ press conference here
yesterday.

Carroll also answered questions
about strip mining legislation, the
boost in his personal security force,
his use of state resources and other
topics in the first live Kentucky
Educational Television news con-
ference ever held.

“I talked to the White House today
and Atlanta admits they‘ve got to go
bad and examine our agricultural
damage," said Carroll in referring
to the denial of federal disaster
relief funds.

l-‘ederal strip mine legislation
under consideration in Congress will
probably be amended to allow
nountaintop removal of coal.
Carroll said. He lobbied for that
change lastweek while attending the

Washington DC.

The Indiana Citizens Energy Coalition. a con-

vocal critics of the proposed Marble Hill nuclear
power plant along the Ohio River, has decided to
withdraw as a party in the suit against building the

participate in environmental hearings by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, beginning in
Madison. Ind. today. “We have decided the city of
Madimn, people in Jefferson County, Ind. and of-
ficials in Kentucky are doing a very effective job in

President (‘arter is expected to sign

He denied that he had a $230 a day

the Washington trip.

In response to another question
about use of state resources, Carroll
said he feels free to use state planes

Freshman gets top info for paper

By MARIE MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer

After deciding that some things
are more important than routine
Saturday afternoon library study,
Cheryl Clark stayed home and
talked to the President of the United
States last weekend.

Persevering througha half-hour of
dialing the toll-free number, Clark
was the fourth person to talk to
Jimmy Carter during his two-hour
attempt to “get close to the
American people."

Sh probably had a different reason
for calling Carter than anyone in the
country.

After working four weeks on a
term paper for English 102 entitled
“Reducing Unemployment in the

US," Clark said she submitted it to
her instructor, Alison Ricke. Ricke
told Clark that the paper lacked in
content and needed a more sub-
stantial link between the past and
the present.

She went right to the top

Clark said she decided to solve her
dilemna by going to the top for an
opinion to add to her paper. Who
could dispute her conclusion if it
came right from the President‘s
mouth?

Clark said she tried to get through
to Carter at noon but only managed
to connect with a recording of a girl
with “a cute little voice." delivering
an apoltgy that calls were not being
accepted yet.

Room, board rate
hike proposal set

By SUZANNE DURIIAM
Copy Editor

Room and board rates will go up
next fall if proposed increases are
passed by the Executive Committee
of the Board of Trustees. That
comnrittee will nreet this afternoon,
according to Jack Blanton. vice
president for business affairs.

Blanton called the raised rates
“the minimum increase (needed) to
balance the (housing and dining)
budget.

“Housing and dining have to
operate in the black,” he said. “We
try to break even in terms of
revenues" from student fees.
Housing and dining budgets receive
no tax or tuition subsidies, Blanton
said.

Increased utility costs are cited as
the major reasons for the proposed
increase. Blanton said these costs
include heating, cooling and elec-
tricity expenses.

According to Jim Wessels.
director of the Physical Plant
Division, “utility costs go up and
up" every year.

The increase as now proposed (see
chart) is based on a two-year
average of utility costs, Blanton
said. The figures are also based on a
98 per cent occupancy rate, rather
than the 95 per cent rate most
universities use. because of I'K's
“tight" housing situation, Blanton
said.

The new rates were reviewed by
the student advisory committee for
business affairs before being sub-
rrritted to the Board‘s Executive
Committee.

Blanton said the proposed in-
creases ane being decided now
because he “wanted students to
know (aboutthe increase) before the
Board meets in April."

If passed it would be the first
housing and dining rate increase in
two years.

congressional nod I

More than two years after Watergate
culminated in the resignation of President
Richard Nixon, Congress is taking positive
action to clean its own house. This week both
houses of Congress Will consider a tough code of
ethics for congressmen, which should eliminate
some questionable, though currently legal,
sources of outside income.

The proposed code of ethics is particularly
timely, coming less than two weeks after a
congressional pay raise of 28.9 per cent over last
year. And in the past year, Congress’s image has
been tarnished by a series of scandals ranging
from abuse of Capitol Hill payrolls to acceptance
of questionable corporate and foreign money.

In addition, in a recent Harris poll com-
missioned by lawmakers, Congress was rated
ninth among 11 American institutions. 0b-
viously, Congress is suffering from a lack of
respect and trust from the public.

Under the proposed code, congressmen’s
outside income would be limited to 15 per cent of
their current salary. Honoraria for a speech,
appearance or article would be limited to $1,000.
Gifts valued at more than $100 would be banned.
And congressmen would be required to report

The annual disclosure would include virtually M

interest worth more than $100;

—“Slush funds would be eliminated. The
largely unregulated and unreported Capitor Hill

ranging from newsletters sent back home to
lunches for constituents visiting Washington,
would be abolished. Instead, the House would
substitute a $5,000 boost in each lawmaker’s

be tightened, including a ban on mass mailing to

Now I don‘t want to be the one to

University system. Don‘t get me

commentary

 

sure that if you contacted "IT" that
no one person could or would isolate
himself as the jerk who made the
decision. (Bureaucracies are fun to
hide behind.)

If you haven't got the gist yet, and
there‘s probably no earthly reason
why you should, I am referring to
the scheduling of the Alex Haley
Roots lecture in the all-too small (for
ti 4 purpose) Memorial Hall.

The little lady and I sauntered up
to the door about 10 minutes before
the scheduled beginning of the
discussion. We were informed at the
door (by a black man. mind you)
that people had been being turned
back into the cold for quite some
time now.

When I asked of the gentlemen if
my lady friend and I might slip

inside and stand in the aisle to listen.
we were informed that the aisles
were packed. There wasn‘t even any
standing room!

Now we come to our problem:
Why. oh why. did “IT“ schedule a
happening that was destined to draw
several thousand people from both
on and off campus in such an
evidently inadequate space.

I‘m sure one good excuse was that
the Christians had taken over Mem-
orial Coliseum on that particular
evening and it was unavailable for
public use. (I thought the church and
state were to be separate—I guess
that‘s only when money's not in-
volved.)

Not that I have anything against
Christians. some of my best friends
are (whisper it) Christians. But
really folks, we all know that all you
have to do is throw a bible out in the
street and within 10 minutes there‘ll
be a covey of Christians swaying
around it and chanting something
about the “Word.“ (But, if I tried to
explain to them about the word
“om" they would no doubt refer to
meas a communist pinko fag).

Like I said, don‘t get me wrong, I
like Christians. my own Mom's a
Christian, and I realize that their
function did attract more people

than the Roots lecture and therefore
deserved the use of Memorial Coli~
seum.

After all, it should attract more
People-Jesus of Nazereth is the
greatest mortal that ever was
aware. Christians would do good to
study him sometime.

Back to my complaint, though,
(which is why I write this garbage)
if Alex Haley didn’t rate Memorial
Coliseum, at least give him the
Student Center Ballroom (which I
hope holds more people or I’m
gonna’ look awful dumb). To para-
phrase, “If you won’t give me the
best, “IT“, at least give me second
best.”

PS. If you are a strong devout
Christian and were offended by my
remarks (which were meant to
amuse you) please don't feel sorry.
I‘m not offended at all. I love you.

As a matter of fact, call me
sometime and I’ll get my Ku Klux
Klan chapter, of which I am the
Grand Whoopee Dildo, and we‘ll
have some mock crusade battles.
We’ll be the Turks. I love Turks too.

Emotionalistic montage . .

GLENN DAVIS
This commentary IS in response to
the Kernel March 2 commentary
“No Room For Another Baby." by
“Jane Doe." While I support abor-
tion freedom. I respect and applaud
the opinions of women who feel, in
their individual, rational judgment,
that a nontherapeutic abortion is an

unacceptable alternative.

commentary

The decision whether an embryo is
a human being is a judgment that
eachindividual must make. as there
is presently insufficient scientific
evidence to firmly support either
conclusion. What I do not and cannot
approve of is an irrational, emotion~
alistic appeal to guilt and self-doubt
designed to prejudice a sensitive and
serious personal decision in any
direction.

 

The article in question begins by a
reasonable and straightforward ex-
planation of a dilemma that faces
hundreds every day. We all have at
least an empathetic appreciation of
this difficult situation. It requires
serious and thoughtful examination
of our beliefs and the consequences
of standing by them, whatever they
may be.

The writer continues her narrative
by concluding that an abortion is the
best option for her in this situation.
From this point on, the article
degenerates into an emotionalistic
montage of self~doubts, guilt, con-
fusion, and scattered images of
noxious stimuli.

This portion of the article is not a
valid or useful contribution to any-
one’s understanding of what abor-
tion is all about. and the author
exposes herself as an irresponsible

writer unsuited to comment on such
a complex subject. What this article
is, is an effective and subtle piece of
emotional propaganda, and its au-
thor is skilled at manipulating
human anxieties, if somewhat melo
dramatically.

The author seriously lacks the
courage to accept the consequences
of her decisions, as evidenced by the
failure of her rational convictions
when her doubt feeds upon her
superstitions. How quickly she sheds
her “modern woman" ideals; one
wonders if she ever truly believed in
them. The author also reveals a
dearth of personal courage and
responsibility by refusing to sign her
mme to this obnoxious work.

Nrther displays of irresponsi-
bility are strewn throughout this
piece. A third of the way through, we
discover the author not only had not
used any form of birth control

study," Robert Lipshutz, counsel to
the President, has determined that a
total blanket upgrading will be more
feasible.

President Carter’s appeal to “re-
unite” Americans, first with his
program of blanket amnesty and
now of upgrading pardons, appears
to be inciting a reverse effect. It’s
difficult to understand why these
veterans should receive this “kid
gloves" treatment for not serving-
honorably! It only makes the contri-
butions of those veterans like myself
and others seem futile and unim-
portant.

While admittedly I can understand .

why someone would object to the
war in Vietnam, it is impossible to
comprehend an individuals unwill-
ingness to serve his country.

I fail to see how this “reunites” the
country—but rather to expose and
condone an overall attitude of
disrespect for military service and
the beliefs upon which our great
nation was founded.

We didn’t reach this point in
history on softhearted, weak-willed,
ill-advised decision making. Hope-
fully, President Carter will recon-
sider before making his final deci-
sion.

current situation in Uganda.

Having always been suspicious of

on the surface appears to be a

power-crazed lunatic due to the
unfounded ratings of the media,

could actually be a kind-hearted

the welfare of his people.

Mr. Omatseye (as a fellow Afri-

dernns this press who obviously blew
the entire situation completely out of
proportion much as they did four
years ago with poor Dick Nixon.

leave it to headline-crazed jour-
nalists to turn the murder of a paltry
five or six thousand Ugandans into a
major atrocity just for the sake of a
“scoop!”

The other forty-odd thousand
missing are probably just being
questioned by local authorities, so
family and refugess are not to
worry.

The 240 Americans detained in
Ugandan facilities by ldi grossly
overreacted to their dilemma, also.

One should not feel threatened
when surrounded by nervous, mach-
inegun-toting guards, bars and the
screams of people having their
heads bashed in with sledge ham-
mers.

Local politics

It would seem that someone who
would place himself in the public
spotlight and make statements in
the process of seeking an elected
office would make some effort to
get facts straight and to try to deal
with subjects in a candid wav.

With this in mind, I would suggest
to mayoral candidate Terry New-
man that he do a little investigating
before he puts words into his
opponent‘s mouths.

In his interview with the Kernel
Newman states that, “Every can-
didate in this race has spoken of the

lack of leadership demonstrated by
the present administration, and
each has suggested that he can offer
Lexington the needed leadership."

The actual fact is that on Jan. 18
Nick Martin, in his announcement
speech, said to the press, “The
notion of leadership is meant solely
tocapitalize on the false hopes of the
voters and is not a viable issue in
thiscampaign."

Martin added, “The present
mayor can be criticized for many
things, but certainly not lack of
leadership.” This is a direct contra-
diction to what Newman claims
“all" other candidates have said.

On that same occasion Martin
distributed to members of the press
an issue paper stating that he would
put mayor expenditures before the
voters in the form of referendums.
In fact, Nick Martin has said that he
would make it his policy to have
frequent voter referendums before
government action is taken.

Mr. Newman may understand the
need to apply political labels to
himself, but he has not yet learned
the decent policy of representing the
truth accurately.

Recycling

The recycling programs on cam-
pus in the past were not ended
because of lack of support. There
has always been widespread student
involvement and concern.

However, recycling has not al-
ways been a priority. TheEnviron-
mental Action Society devoted its
energy for two years to stopping the
dam in the Red River Gorge.
There’s not a doubt in Julian
Carroll’s mind that students stopped
that dam.

We are committed to maintaining
campus recycling with student sup
port. Do it again.

Steve Mayes
President EAS

. Empty appeals clutter abortion issue

whatsoever, but actually has the gall
to complain of “receiving lectures"
on the subject.

After three children and in her
situation? This is not a person who
thinks straight. To top it off, she then
selects the IUD, perhaps the most
dangerous birth control method of
all.

But the most serious fault of this
writer is her unscrupulous appeal to
the reader‘s superstitions and mor-
bid anxieties. The last two thirds of
the article abound with melodra-
matic emotional cliches like, “But
any women...knows that certain
feeling...the arrival of a life," or, “I
have this ghost now,“ that haunts
her.

Her experiences at the clinic are
carefully laced with negative, harsh,
exaggerated images: a teenager,
retching, pulsating spots on the

ceiling, lancing pain, etc, all mag-
nified by her hysteria.

What a pile of crap. The mystical
“certain feeling" she refers to is the
effect of hormones we can isolate
from tissues in a test tube. As for the
ridiculous and ludicrous picture of
her baby‘s “ghost" haunting her
whenever she sees the full moon (I),
etc, why doesn’t she think of her
mum three young children or hus-
band, and be thankful for the love
and beauty they have given her,
iratead of pining after a shadow of
herown imagining?

Surely, abortion for the sake of
idle convenience is deplorable. But
“convenience" is not always a
frivolOus consideration. Why doesn‘t
someone submit an emotional nar-
rative about marriages or careers
(buoyed by unplanned children?
About the misery and pain of

children raised by parents who don’t
want them or love them? Or about
theanguish of parents who realize to
their horror and confusion that they
are abusing their own children? The
mystique of conception, ceiling
spots, and ghost babies dwindle out
of sight in the face of these larger
sufferings. ‘

If a woman is to reach a respon-
sible decision on abortion, she
should make it herself, not accord-
ing to the ideas of others. Her
decision should be based on a
tlmugh understanding of herself
and her beliefs, not extraneous
emotionalistic propaganda, and she
shwld face the consequences of her

decision with courage and the
conviction that her choice is best for "

all concerned.

Community college
enrollment climbs

By BRIDGET MILLS
Kernel Reporter

The enrollment of UK's
Community College system
was only 2,876 shortly after its
establishment, but it has
increased to 16,311 during the
first dozen years of its
operation.

Over one-third of the
students of the system, which
was established in 1964 to
bring twoyear educational
programs to Kentuckians,
are over 25 years of age,
according to Dan Tudor.

-for the community colleges.

“We have such a different
comptsite of students at the
community college (than UK
at Lexington)," Tudor said.

Acetrding to Tudor, the
student body of the com-
munity colleges is a mix of
people with different
educational, social and
cultural backgrounds. They
include mothers coming back
to school. minorities,
busine$men, veterans and
even the elderly. Without the

community college system,
Tudor said, these students
would not have an op-
portunity to attend college.

More than 60 per cent of the
students are in two-year
career programs and will
receive the Associate Applied
Science degree, Tudor said.
The two career programs
available to the students in
1964 have increased to well
over 40 different programs.

Dr. M. Stanley Wall, UK
vice president for the com-
munity college, said, “All
courses are transferable to
the University. whereas a few
years ago, the University
didn’t accept the transfer of
technical courses.”

Tudor added that “when
there is no equivalent at UK
for a technical course, the
dam of the (appropriate)
college chooses which
courses will serve as major
fulfillments and which are
electives.”

According to Dr. Wall,
several studies have been
done on community college
