\lhen confronted by an assailant. a
woman is faced with several alternatives
of defense. But authorities offer varied and
contrasting views on defense methods that
are likely to succeed.

Traditional methods of rape prevention
——scrcaming. running and fighting -—are
being refuted by many as worthless.

Patricia Elam. director of the Lexington
Rape Crisis Center. said in order to
prevent rape women must not play victim
roles. “Society trains women to be sub-
missive." she said. “We must educate
ourselves to sustain a sense of dignity."

"There‘s not a whole lot a woman can
do.“ said Del: Bill Allen. head of the Metro
Police Sex Crime investigation Squad. He
cautioned against screaming and running

South Hill resident Florence Hahn listens attentively to a speaker at
Thursday‘s South Hill support rally on the Student Center patio.

under the Lexington Center's surface parking plan.

unless the victim is certain she can get
away. “Otherwise.“ he said. "victims
should do anything that comes in their
minds to deter rapists."

"Newsweek" magazine tNov. 10. 1975)
cited authorities who said fierce res'mtance
at the time of the attack is the best
protection.

But keeping a cool head and using
imagination are the best aids in rape
prevention. according to Frederic
Storaska. author of the book "How to Say
No To a Rapist and Survive."

Storaska advocated three common-
sense rules of assault safety. The first:
"Don‘t antagonize the rapist because he is
probably in an unstable and violent con-
onion.“

His second rule is: “Don't commit your
behavior; makesure that anything you do
is reveisible. if you‘ve violently resisted.
you cannot rely on other means to
escape."

Finally. Storaska advised. "Do nothing
that can hurt you. \\ hatcver you do. make

doesn‘t. it won't aggravate the situation.

“The rapist does not want to hear the
victim scream." Storaska stated. "He‘ll
try to stop you any way he can. which
could result in death."

Other meats of rape prevention. such as
fighting and carrying weapons. were
challenged in Storaska‘s book. "Struggling
enhances the pleasureable sexual sen-
sations the rapist feels as he begins
penetration. it also gives him a feeling of
power. subduing a protesting woman." he
stated.

Storaskacontended that a punch or kick
Ill the groin is unlikely to be well-placed
enough to work. Unsuccessful attempts
anger the rapist. causing him to he more
brutal. the hook states.

Nor are weapons the answer, Storaska
stated. because a weapon has an instant
effect in the assault situation: it im-
mediately and irrevocably initiates
violence. “The rapist races a decision —to
either run or attack," “Storaska stated.

Undeistanding the rapist’s motive gives
further aid in dealing effectively with him.

ltapists frequently speak of power and
violence. A patient at the South Florida
State Hospital spokeof his experiences in a
“Newmeek” article.

“I would get to feeling really down on
myself and I had to feel masculine. I
looked for meek. humble-leoking girls,” he
said. “It was a super trip to beat them up.
“lien she was hurt like that. it made me
feel good.“

“Vic shall not be moved.

(‘ome join the struggle. we
shall not be moved.

Just like a tree standing by
water. we shall not be moved.”

Those were the words sung Thursday af-
ternoon when approximately 125 people gathered
around the Student Center patio to listen to
spea kers opposing the demolition of houses in the
South Hill community to make way for a civic
center surface parking lot.

Between songs accompanied on guitars. the
speakers called for attendance at Thursday
night's Urban County Council meeting. the
signing ofa petition urging the University not to
sign a lease for basketball games as long as the
surface parkingplan exists and financial help for
fighting the demolition through the courts.

 

The Urban County Council Thursday
night passed the controversial South Hill
relocation plan as approximately 30
onlookers protested the Lexington
Center parking plan.

See story on page 8.

 

Speakers included residents of South Hill.
University professors, an Urban County Council
member and interested students.

“it‘s a hopeful situation. Things are going
forward and if the important political pressure is

_ put on there is every hope that LCC (Lexington

Center Corporation) will have to bargain with
us." said Assistant History Professor Daniel
Rowland.

Rowland said since the political path the
residents are moving on is “producing important

fruits.“ they hope to start working on a legal
angle within two or three days. .

Florence liahn. 331 Spring $1., an elderly
resident of the affected area. spoke before the
group twice about her difficulty in finding
adequate housing.

“l've walked 1.000 miles over Lexington
looking for a house to move into and there are no
houses. 1 can‘t walk anymore because my legs
are swelling and my doctor has advised me
against it.“ Hahn said.

“i now have 26 days before I have to find a
house and We been looking since June 1 and
haven’t come up with anything. If the experts
('l‘cnant Services) can’t find a house for me, how
can i?" Hahn said.

She added others should know of the struggle
because “in five or 10 years they can come to
take your house. aftér you get established—and
it’s rotten. it’s cheap and it‘s dishonest," Hahn
said.

George l’otratz. assistant English professor,
who also spoke twice before the group, urged
listeners to sign a petition asking the University
not to sign a lease for basketball games as until
the surface parking plan is rejected.

“if it weren't for the University none of this
would be going on. The University doesn’t need
the civic center to play basketball in, but it was
largely because of the University that the civic
center was built.” Potratz said.

Potra tz said building a basketball arena larger
than Madison Square Gardens is “preposterous.
but what's more preposterous is tearing down
acres of homes when you can build a parking
structure.

“There's now a critical shortage for low-
income housing and the more houses they tear
down the fewer places there are to live,” Potratz
said. The situation will also affectstudents. who
have not only the power but the responsibility to

act. he said.

But some things come along that draw

center of one such controversey IS Bill
Davis, a classmate of mine in his second
year at the College of Law. Though not
publicized until yesterday, his case shares
a common denominator with the proposed
carnage of South Hill injustice.

Intact, the injustice in the case of Davis
is more clearcut. The wrong that is being
inflicted on him may be more
dispassionately viewed as being just that
- wrong.

The problem doesn’t seem to be earth-
shaking at first. Davis, a black from
Alabama, wants to pay in-state tuition
instead of the higher out-of—state tee.
There are plenty of other students at the
University that share his sentiment. There
are also others -—just like Davis ——who
have been denied in-state status.

There are facts here, however, that raise
larger issue than that of tuition rates.
Whether fairness is being accorded Davis
by the University Non-Resident Fee
Committee may soon face a challenge in
court that c0uld prove embarrassing to
both that body and UK.

The facts of Davis' case are too lengthy
to be recounted here. They may be found
on the front page of yesterday’s Kernel.
The one thing that may be said about the
facts is that they are in accord with the
University's PoliCy on Classification of
Students for Fee Purposes.

The policy requires a showing of 12
months residency in Kentucky without
attending school prior to enrollment before
an out of-state student may pay in-state
lees. But it the student makes a ',’clear
demon stration” by evidence that this state
is his "true, fixed, and permanent home
and place of habitation,” the 12-month
residency rule may be waived. Davis has
clearly and objectively met this exception.

Davis has insisted throughout this mess

views. Letters to the editor and Spectrum commentaries should be typed, double-
spaced and signed—including classification, major and phone number.)

Law student deserves some justice

thathe is a Kentucky resident. His in-state
application has been turned down four
times with a minimum of explanation —
once by Assistant Dean of Admission
Robert Larson and three times by the
University Non-Resident Fee Committee,
which Larson chairs.

The reasons for these denials are hard to

comprehend, especially when considered
alongside the cases of two other second-
year law students. They were granted in-
state status even while Davis was denied
it. Neither of these students could offer
arguments more persuasive than the
arguments Davis has to offer. In fact, the
two students admit that point themselves.
Yes, it’s all quite remarkable.
' The student classification policy states
that "the word domicile (legal residence)
shall denote a person’s true, fixed and
permanent home and place of habitation.
It is the place where he intends to remain,
and to which he expects to return when he
leaves without intending to establish a new
domicile elsewhere."

If this rule were applicable in Alabama
(and a similar one may be), would Davis
be termed to have domicile in Alabama?
Except for the fact that his parents are
there, the answer is no. Does this mean
that Davis’ fate is to be a man without a
state? If the decisions of Larson and the
committee are upheld on Davis’ appeal to

the state Council on
Education, it does.

The fact remains, however, that Davis
could do nothing more —short of fraud —
that would provide a case any more clear
and convincing.

In essence, what Larson and his com-
mittee have done is to place "irrebuttable
presumption” of out—of-state status on
Davis. This presumption is a legalese term
that means no matter what Davis does, he
will be considered anout-of—stater. Such an
irrefutable presumption is . un-
constitutionalaccording to a 1973 Supreme
Court decision, Vandis. v. Kline.

If his appeal is turned down, Davis has
said he will sue the University in federal
court. Davis deserves to win this case, in
my opinion, and the reasons for his need to
file it should be examined carefully, if

need be.
One of the groundsof the suit will bethat

Davis has been denied equal protection
under the law, a basic right guaranteed
under the United States Constitution. The
basis of this charge would be that Davis
has been discriminated against on racial
grounds. The court is bound to examine
such a charge with extreme scrutiny,
according to rulings of the Supreme Court.

ERA still needs four [more states

. - -

 

By Bronson Rozier
and Shelly Griffith

The Equal RightslAmendment (ERA) is
in danger of not titratitied in the United

 

States. Four more ’ te legislatures must
approve by 1979 or7 the amendment will
fail. Two hundred years after the nation‘s
founding formal equality under the law
between men and women doesn't exist. In
Kentucky, the anti-ERA movement has
gained to the point that the amendment
was almost rescinded four years after it
had been passed. The outcome is not
definite even yet.

One would think that this was because a
majority of people had second thoughts
and changed their minds. But this is not
the case. The most recent Gallup poll
(March, 1975) shows that 58 per cent
support the ERA in the U.S. while only 24
per cent oppose it! In Kentucky a more
recent poll date by UK and another by the
University of Louisville, show that about
70 per cent of the people in Kentucky
support equal rights. Then why was the
ERA almost resclnded in Kentucky and
seems to be on the ropes nationwide? The
answer is its opponents are effectively
organized and highly visible and they have
the resources to wage a large scale
campaign of distortion. Groups like Stop
ERA, the John Birch Society and the Ku
Klux Klan. have supports that can afford
such an extensive campaign.

We must respond to this movement by
becoming as organized and as visible as
they and we must get out the truth. For

‘to alimony.”

 

 

 

 

example let me give some of the
arguments against the E RA and then gives
some facts.

"E RA will take away the right of women
1965 American Bar
Association study showed that alimony is
awarded in only a small percentage of
divorce cases. One California judge said in
his county permanent alimony is awarded
in less than two per cent and temporary
alimony in less than to per cent of divorce
cases.

”ERA means women will be drafted and
put into combat." Congress already has
the power to draft women, in fact women

were' drafted in World War II as nurses.
The ERA wouldnot affect Congress power
to draft one way or the other.

Finally the most ridiculous charge of all.
the plague of "uni-sex bathrooms." Legal
authorities assure us that the right of
privacy guaranteed by the first amend—
ment cannot be affected by the ERA. We
could go on but this gets the idea across.
Most of what the anti- ERA movement says
is designed to whip up hysteria against the
E RA and has little relation to legal reality.

Knowing the facts is not enough. We
must present the truth to the people of

 

Kentucky and the nation. We must visibly
show that a majority supports equal
rights. It is for this reason women and all
supporters of democratic rights must
come together. It is not a coincidence that
many of the groups in the anti-ERA
movement are also against the labor
unions and against Blacks. That's why
many labor and civil rights people are in

. groups like the Pro-ERA Alliance in

Kentucky and are involved in the march
and rally in Frankfoi't Saturday.’This
includes groups like the NAACP, Human
Rights Commission, Kentucky Com-
mission on Women, Communications
Workers of America in Kentucky, Ken-
tucky Education Association, Women’s
Center of Lexington, Young Socialist
Alliance, Council on Womens’ Concerns,
National organization of Women, ERA
America and Lexington Pro-ERA
‘ Alliance.

The march will start at Juniper Hill-

Park Saturday at2 p.m. Those going from
' Lexington should meet from lit-12:30 pm.
at the Commonwealth Stadium near the
flagpole. The march, and rally was called
by the Louisville National Organization of
Women in conjunction with pro-ERA
rallies across the country on or near tn-
ternational Women’s Day.

The Campus Alliance for the ERA has
endorsed this march along with the
Lexington Pro-E RA alliance and urge all

' to support the Equal Rights Amendment

this Saturday in Frankfort. We must not
let the ERA be defeated.

1 4th amendment

Editor:

Stephen Lutz’s recent Spectrum
article ("In Ignorance There ls
Strength," Kernel, March 4) proves
that Lutz doesn’t understand the
reasons why the Equal Rights
Amendment (E RA) is needed to protect
women's rights.

Lutz says that"the ERA is little more
than a feeble echo of the Nth (amend-
ment)“ and that any legislation
designed to improve the lot of women
"could be upheld as constitutional”
under that amendment.

The 14th amendment does go very far
in protecting our rights. Unfortunately,
the Supreme Court has not ruled that
the 14th amendment implies that in-
vidious classifications based on sex are
unconstitutional, even though civil
rights groups have tried for years to
have such an interpretation made.

As a consequence, women must go to
court every time they encounter sex
discrimination. Court challenges have
eliminated some of the most blatant
types of sex discrimination —
discrimination in probate practices and
military benefits, for example —but a
hell of a lot more needs to be doneabout
it. The point is that women should not
have to go through all that hassle.

The adoption of the E RA would mean
that women could finally achieve real
equality without having to go to the
courts or the legislature to tight for
what they rightfully deserve as people.
Maybe that’s why so many people who
know a lot more about the problem that
Lutz does support the ERA.

UK antagonizes South Hill,

 

housing shortage problemS ._

By George Potrotz

(Editor’s note: This article is the‘
second of a two-part series dealing with
UK, Lexington’s new civic center and
the current South Hill parking plan
controversy.)

Thursday l argued in this space that
the University of Kentucky is very
largely responsible for the impending
demolition of South Hill-Pleasant
Green. As should be obvious, the
preposterous idea of a 23,000»seat arena

 

in Lexington could never have been '

brought to preposterous reality without
the cooperation of the University. When
the civic center fails to pay for itself ~
as it almost certainly will the
'IniverSity will thus be largely
responsible when the Lexington Center
Corporation (LCC) tries to dump the
burden off on the taxpayers, as they
very certainly will. But that is farther
in the future.

At presentwhat is on U K’s head is the
approaching doom of an entire neigh-
borhood. Aside from the suffering this
will cause the residents of that neigh-
borhood, the e' im ination of homes there
will mean the aggravation of an
already critical shortage of low-income
housing —a shortage that afflicts the
University's own students as severely
as anyone else. All of you who looked
for housing last fall know how hard it
was; if the city succeeds in driving the
South Hill people out as soon as this
spring or summer, it can only be worse
next year.

Butthe University’s complicity in the
housing crisis does not start or end
there. UK is not merely making the
crisis worse —it is primarily UK that
caused the crisis in the first place, as
will be obvious to anyone who thinks
about it. By bringing more and more
thousandsof students to Lexington, and
by failing to provide housing of its own
for them, the University gluts the
downtown housing market, driving
vacancies down and prices up. The
administration does not deny that it has
pursued a "conservative" policy in
building dormitories, but they cite two
excuses.

The first is that the University is an
educational institution, and that
education must be its first priority.
This sounds noble, and as a faculty
member I applaud the sentiment, but
frankly it sounds like rank hypocrisy
coming from a school where in the past
three years a 30,000-seat stadium and a
12,000-seat arena have both been
deemed inadequate for educational
purposes. The second excuse —and a
more credible one ~is that the
University hesitates to build more
dormitories because it has reason to
fear that students won't live in them.
But why do students shun the dor.
mitories if given another choice? If the
University were to build hausing of a
sort people would want to live in, and
eliminate the repressive policies
regulating students’ private lives, the
institution’s only problem would be an
excess of applicants.

Onething that students should do is to
demand that such housing be built and
that such policies be lifted. The sex

: :: R r '

lives of the administration are no
business of the students, and the
students should insist that their sex
lives are no business of the ad-
ministration. But perhaps such utopian
ideas can wait a few days. Right now is
the time for students, faculty and staff
at UK to move to end the complicity of
the University in the senseless
destruction of Pleasant Green-South
Hill.

The Friends of South Hill are
presently circulating a petition ad-
dressed to the powers that be in the
University (Dr. Otis Singletary, the UK
Athletic Association Board of Directors
and the Board of Trustees) that reads,
"Wetthe undersigned students, faculty
or staff members of the University of
Kentucky 90 on record as supporting
the plan for a parking structure rather
than any plan which involves
destruction of more homes in the South
Hill-Pleasant Green area. Fur-
thermore, we urgethe University not to
sign a lease for the civic center as long
as the surface area parking plan is
retained."

The demand that UK refuse to sign a
contract to play basketball at the civic
center as long as the LCC plans to level
Scuth Hill is both lust and feasible. The
University and the basketball team do
not need the civic center. They have
managed to win 29 conference titles and
four national championships without it,
and they can easily afford to threaten to
go on playing at Memorial Coliseum if
necessary. But it need not come to that,

because the civic center does need the’

University and should be capable of
listening to reasan...when it is backed

SOUTH HILL

  

up with a little force.

Students, for their part, stand to gain
less than they stand to lose from the
present plans. They will be granted a
few more seats, but they will have to
walk a lot further to get to them, and as
l havealready stressed, they will suffer
a tightening of the heusing pinch.

I don’t mean to imply that it will be
easy to influence the University’s
stand. The University makes no
pretense of being a democratic in-
stitution. It is run from the top down,
and the business leaders and other
bigwigs who sit on the Board of
Trustees don't make a habit of con-
sulting the students, staff or faculty
before they make their decisions. But
the task is not impossible. Student
opinion was largely responsible for
Commonwealth Stadium being located
where it stands instead of way to hell
and gone on some horse farm where
influential trustees wanted to put it.

If students prevailed in that, they can
prevail in the much more important
fight for South Hill. But it will clearly
take a large number of signatures to
have an effect, and to get those
signatures will take work. if you are
with us, don't iust sign the petition -
circulate it. Come by our table in the
Student Center and get a copy, or better
yet come to the Friends of South Hill
meeting on Tuesday in Room 309 of the
Student Center at 7:30 p.m. And ioin us
this afternoon in picketing the Second
National Bank. We'll meet outside the
coliseum branch at 4 p.m.

Senate maiority leader says
he will not seek re-election

\\.\S|ll.\ti'l‘i).\ (M’t , Mike Manstield. a taciturn w esterner who
provided the Senate with low-key leadership through the troubled
years of Vietnam and \\ atergate. announced Thursday he will not
seek i'e-election.

The announcement by the Senate majority leader. a Montana
liemocrat. guaranteed a complete changeover in Senate
leadership when the Math (‘ongress convenes next .January.

Mansfield became majority leader in 1961 and held the post
longer than any other man

His low~key style was in sharp contrast to his predecessor.
Lyndon it, Johnson. who led the Senate with a prodigious per-
suasiveness some called browbeating.

Bayh pulls out of race;
Shriver considers same

t.\l’) Birch Bayh all but left the crowded Democratic
presidential field Thursday and Sargent Shriver said he was
considering it. Both said their money. the crucial commodity that
fuels all campaigns, had begun to run out.

Bayh announced in New York that he is suspending active
campaigning. a step just short of withdrawal, because the New
Hampshire and Massachusetts primaries depleted his treasury and
his poor showings discouraged further contributions.

Shriver, the 1972 Democratic presidential candidate, said in
t‘hica go that he is short of funds and will have to rely on volunteers
in the March 16 Illinois primary rather than a “full-blast media
campaign" that he can‘t afford. He said if he loses in Illinois, he
might consider the Bayh alternative.

Hearst's defense wins, loses
in battle over documents

S.\.\' FRANCISCO (AIM—Patricia Hearst‘s defense chalked up
one victory and one defeat Thursday in a battle over documents
which might link the heiress to a Sacramento area bank robbery in
which a woman was killed.

Chief defense attorney F. Lee Bailey failed in an effort to throw
out all documents seized from the last hideout of Hearst ‘s fugitive
traveling companions. William and Emily Harris.

The decision by l'S. District (‘ourt Judge ()liver J. Carter let
stand in evidence the so-called ”Tania Interview." L'. S. Atty.
James 1.. Browningclaims that manuscript partly in Hearst‘ s own
handwriting shows the heiress was a willing convert to a
i0\ olulionary outlook.

But Bailey won a ruling that barredthe government from ad-
mitting any items which might remind jurors of a bank robbery in
the Sacramento suburb of Carmichael, in which a pregnant mother
of four was slain.

(‘arter agreed that any mention of Sacramento banks would
"ring bells“ in the jurors‘ memories.
