Released on own recognizance

Rape charges filed against two

UK students, one former

Two UK football players and one
former UK football player were
arrested by Lexington Metro Pol-
ice Wednesday and charged with
first-degree rape. Two of the
suspects and another UK player
were charged with harassment in
connection with the same incident.

All four suspects have since been
released from jail on their own
recognizance.

According to Metro Police Capt.
James Mathias, the two individ-
uals charged with first-degree rape
and harassment are: William Tol-
ston, 19, Chicago. Ill; and Terry
Haynes, 22 Murfreesboro. Tenn.
Greg Woods, 21, Middletown.
Conn. was charged with first-
degree rape and Warren Bryant.
Miami, Fla, was charged with
harassment.

Mathias said the suspects al-
legedly raped an 18-year-old wo-
man at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday in
Tolston’s apartment in the Turf-
land Apartments complex. The
victim was picked up by Metro
Detective Bill Allen and taken to
the UK Med Center emergency
room where she was treated and
released.

Mathias said Tolston, Haynes
and Bryant went to the victim’s
residence late Wednesday morning
and allegedly created a distur-
bance. The three were arrested
there for harassment by Metro
Policeman Don Elam at 11:20 a.m.

However, the suspects were only
charged with harassment until it
was discovered they were also
suspected of rape, Mathias said.

(Harassment, according to a
quarterly court spokesman, is
similar to disorderly conduct or
using foul language in public.
Under state law, harassment is not
punishable by a jail term but is
only punishable by a maximum

fine of $500.)

Woods was arrested by Metro
Police at General Telephone Co.,
his place of employment, at 4:25
pm. Wednesday.

Tolston, Woods and Bryant are
currently members of the UK
football team. Tolston was a start-
ing quarterback for much of last
season and Woods played defensive
back. Bryant was an All-South-
eastern Conference offensive
tackle last season. Haynes was a
member of the Wildcat team for
three seasons as a defensive end.

Mathias said the victim had
apparently gone to Tolston’s
apartment to retrieve some be-
longings. Metro Police refused to
reveal any further details of the
case.

Mathias said UK Police and head
football coach Fran Curci had been
notified. Curci and Athletic Direc-
tor Cliff Hagan were unavailable
for comment.

Tom Padgett, UK public safety

student

division director, said University
police had very little involvement
in the case.

“Metro Police is keeping us
informed but since the alleged rape
took place off campus, we don’t
anticipate any involvement,” Pad-
gett said.

Assistant Dean of Students
Michael Palm said that as of yet
his office has had no real involve-
ment in the case other than to
identify one of the defendants as a
student.

Bond was originally set for the
defendants by Trial Commissioner
Michael Rohney, Mathias said, at
$7,500 for each count of rape and
$1,000 for each harassment charge.

The defendants, however, were
released at 7:30 pm. Wednesday
on their own recognizance, ac-
cording to a shift commander at
the Fayette County Detention Cen-
ter on Old Frankfort Pike.

The defendants’ preliminary
hearing is scheduled for today.

Everybody’s jumped off the bandwagon;

benefit concert ends in squabbles, lawsuits

Although the Gram Parsons
Memorial Festival flopped three
weeks ago, there is still some
question as to who actually pro
moted the event. And apparently
several of the persons involved had
previous experience promoting
large concerts—much more exper-
ience than indicated in earlier
reports.

Since the memorial festival fell
through there has been a melee of
events—suits. countersuits, inves-
tigations and arrests—that present
a confused picture of why the
concert flopped and who was
responsible.

There were apparently five
people and one Kentucky corpora-
tion primarily involved in organiz-
ing the festival. Sam Stephens,
however, is the only person who

now admits publicly that he was a
promoter for the festival. Every-
one else now says they were only
“helping“ Stephens, not actually
promoting.

The original idea for the memor-
ial festival was the brainchild of
Stephens, a 49-year-old local insur-
ance company employe. His stated
purpose for the festival was to set
up an educational trust fund for
children of miners killed in the
Blue Diamond Scotia Mine disaster
last March.

Stephens was born in Louisville
and worked for a printing firm
there until he moved to Alabama
about 10 years ago. In 1974 Steph-
ens attempted to promote a mem-
orial concert in honor of late
country music star Hank Williams
at Cathedral Caverns Park in
Grant, Ala. This concert was
cancelled shortly before its sched-
uled date.

Shortly after the Gram Parson
Memorial Festival debacle, Steph-
ens was arrested for theft by
deception. At that time he told

from UK '3 food and housing services as well as revenues

apartments.

Metro Police that he had not
previously promoted any concerts.

Stephens explained this denial by
saying, “What I told him (Metro
Police Det. Robert Zaccerelli) was
not exactly like that. At that point I
really didn’t want to talk about
anything.

“Actually, the Alabama thing
was an attempt (to promote a
concert) and I had done my job,”
he said. “The clients defaulted
through no fault of mine.”

For his concert attempt in Lex-
ington, Stephens was originally
unable to find backers until he ran
into Liz Rogers, who works in an
office next to his. Ms. Rogers had
worked with Bill Graham, a nat-
ionally known promoter and
former owner of Filmores East and
West.

Stephens was able to secure
initial backing for the concert from
the Ale-8-1 Bottling Co., of Win-
cheater, through Ms. Rogers, who
is married to Ale-s-l treasurer
Frank “Buddy" Rogers 111. There
remains, however, some disag-

reement as to the exact terms of
the company’s financial involve-
ment.

Rogers said Ale-8-1 merely
loaned Stephens the money and

“We made a verbal agreement
three or four days before the
concert with Liz Rogers," said

after the concert regardless of its
success or failure (minus $1,000
that the bottling company prom-
ised to donate to the trust fund.)

The promoters needed $150,000 to
break even—the festival took in
$30,000. Of the net funds, 85 per cent
was to have gone to the trust fund
and 15 per cent to Stephens for
promotion efforts.

When Ale-8-1 agreed to be a
sponsor Stephens said he was still
looking for four or five other
sponsors. But he was unable to
secure other backers so he “went
back to Ale-8 and offered them the
opportunity to be the only spon-
sor.”

He maintains that Ale—8—1 was the
only sponsor of the concert. In
addition, Ale-8-1 was listed on all

“They‘re (Ale-8-1) saying the
money they provided was loaned to
me," Stephens said. “But as I
understood it, any money paid
back to them was to come out of
gross revenues after the coliseum
got their fee and all other expenses
were paid. It appears to me that
Ale-8 is doing a lot of back~ped-
dling."

in addition to securing financial
backing, Ms. Rogers was instru-
mental in obtaining most of the
big-name acts. According to two
talent agencies contacted, they
never would have allowed their
clients to have appeared on such
short notice had it not been for Ms.
Rogers’ involvement, reputation
and past association with Bill
Graham.

Ms. Rogers would not comment
on her participation. Her husband,
however, said she volunteered to
help because she was interested in
music and knew several
performers personally. “Her name
was not on any contracts or

from the Student Center and its bookstore. The surplus
funds amounted to over half of the total cost of the

By CAROL WRIGHT
Kernel Staff Writer

Student payments for food and housing, and revenue
derived from the Student Center and its bookstore,
provided surplus funds that were used toward UK‘s
purchase of the Holly Tree Manor apartments last week.

The money, approximately $800,000, constituted over
half of the$1,335,049 cost of the apartments. According to
George Ruschell, UK assistant vice president for
business affairs, this sum had accumulated since 1966 in
what are called operating funds budgets.

Money from food and housing payments, the Student
Center and the bookstore go into one University account
that is used to repay bond issues for residence halls.

The $300,000 surplus accumulated after the bond
payments were made.

UK raised its food and housing prices last year and in a
statement to the Kernel last summer, Allen Rieman.
director of food services, said the services at that time
were breaking even financially.

Rieman said Wednesday he would not term the surplus
a “profit." He said, “What you would classify as a
surplus goes back into development over and above what
we would normally be able to do.’l wouldn't call it a

it."

Rieman said that some years the service has a surplus
of funds and other years it has a deficit. The surplus of

funds and other years it has a deficit. The surplus is used
to make up for the deficit, he said.

Rieman said, for example, there would be no increase
in prices for students this year, but because the budget
was drawn up almost two years ago, there was no way to
make provisions for any unusual circumstances that
might occur.

He noted that the West Coast cannery strike, now only
tentatively settled, would have an effect on food costs
next year since UK buys most of its canned fruits and
vegetables from the West Coast.

The strike, then, he explained, may cause the food
service to end the year with a deficit, because student
prices were not raised.

Ruschell said he also would not term the $800,000 sum a
“profit."

He said last year the University had two unexpected
“windfalls," which increased the surplus. “We budgeted
for 95 per cent occupancy. In addition, we made some
excellent purchases of food which saved us some
money," Ruschell said.

The second source of money to buy the apartments
came from a replacement reserve fund, which is money
set aside every year to replace equipment, according to
Ruschell.

A total of $549,250 was paid out of this second fund.

Letters from the

Carter is wrong about Reserves

Presidential hopeful Jimmy Carter
was quoted in Wednesday’s Courier-
Journal saying the National Guard
and Reserves are inefficient and a
waste of money. To that I say “Ha."

As a five-year member in a local
Reserve unit, I can personally testify
to the efficiency and effectiveness of
our last line of defense.

Contrary to former Georgia Gov.
Carter’s statement, the Reserves
perform a vital service and do it
extremely well. Take, for example
my unit, which recently spent two

 

 

weeks training at Ft. Knox.

We are supposed to be an armored
unit. I say supposed to be because
most of the members of my unit were
trained as infantry and not as tank
drivers or mechanics. Even though I
know absolutely nothing about tanks,
according to the Army, 1 am a
qualified tank mechanic.

You see, the Army, in all its
wisdom, decided that it made more
sense for a unit so close to Ft. Knox to
be an armored unit instead of
infantry. So four years ago the

Pentagon sent us letters saying we
were tank drivers, mechanics, etc.

In one fell swoop, the Army saved
itself millions of dollars. Rather than
spend thousands of dollars per man to
train us in our new jobs, they simply
qualified us on paper. Don’t tell me
the Reserves aren’t efficient.

Just in case we haven’t figured out
how to repair a tank on our own, the
Army sends my unit to Ft. Knox for
two weeks each summer to receive
extensive training in the intricate art
of mechanics.

Again, the Army saves money. We
cram 13 weeks of training, which is
how long it takes a regular army
soldier to learn his trade, into two
weeks.

Now if there is still any doubt about
the reserves’ efficiency, let me ex-
plain how we perform under pressure
during those two weeks of training.

The best way to illustrate how we
don’t waste time or money is to
describe a typical day at Ft. Knox.

My unit is assigned six tanks
(although we only have two), 13 jeeps
(we’re only authorized six) and six
armored personnel carriers (we don’t
have any).

All these vehicles were sent to Ft.
Knox ahead of the unit, so we could
begin training immediately upon
arrival.

Imagine the scene: there we were
at the crack of dawn on our first day
at Ft. Knox, clad in newly starched

uniforms and short-haired wigs,
eagerly awaiting orders from our
commander (herein referred to as
Captain).

After dispatching the troops to their
assigned training areas, the Captain,
his driver and I left for headquarters
to await the glowing reports on how
well we were performing our duty.

About a half an hour later an
agitated sergeant rushed into head-
quarters and said to the Captain, “Sir,
we can’t find the tanks.”

“What?” the Captain asked.

“We went to the motor pool and
they said that they didn’t have our
tanks.”

“Well, you go back there and tell
them to find the damn things and then
you and the troops start to work on
them.”

“We can’t, sir.”

“Why in the hell not?” said the
Captain who, by this time, was
turning various shades of purple.
“You’re assigned to train at that
motor pool and on our tanks. So get
back there.”

“We can’t. The officer in charge
told us to get the hell out of his motor
pool and he said that we weren’t
assigned to train there nor had he
ever heard of our unit.”

“Oh Jesus! You wait here! No!
Wait with the troops in the parking lot
next to headquarters. I’ll straighten
this out and get back to you.”

So the Captain left to find out what

South Hill needs everyone ’s help

to put referendum on next ballot

 

by george potratz

 

The People‘s Referendum has four
days left to go. Over the past couple of
months, a fairly small number of
people have been steadily working to
place on the November ballot in
Fayette County two proposed amend-
ments to the City—County Charter.

Contrary to general public ignor-
ance on the matter (fostered by the
local media) most of the homes in the
Pleasant Green-South Hill neighbor-
hood are still standing and most of the
residents remain in them, with no-
where else to go.

We are continuing to fight for the
preservation of this neighborhood,
but, whether that proves possible or
impossible, we are also fighting to
insure that other neighborhoods

 

standing in the path of “progress”
(such as the proposed expressways
serving the civic center) do not suffer
the same fate.

Our referendum provides in part
(Amendment No. 2) that before any
other people are thrown out of their
homes the city would first have to
provide housing for them—at least as
good as what they are living in now.

We regard this as simple justice—
though given the present critical
housing shortage it would force a
partial reshuffling of our city govern-
ment’s present priorities of placing
the profits of a few over the basic
needs of the many.

The same amendment would also
prevent the city from forcing people
to go into debt to pay for public
utilities, as many have had to do and
many more will have to do, unless the
city comes up with a more equitable

way of financing sewer construction.

The final provision of the People’s
Referendum (actually Amendment
No. 1) says that the city could not pay
off the debt of the Civic Center with
our taxes unless the voters approved
such a subsidy by a two-thirds
majority.

The Lexington Center Corporation
(LCC) has been saying all along that
the Civic Center will pay for itself, but
now they are using the other side of
their collective mouth to tell us that if
it doesn’t we are going to pay.

Despite what Jake Graves would
have us believe, the city is in no way
legally obligated to pay off that debt;
the $37 million in bonds issued to
finance the Civic Center warn their
purchasers that this is the case.

There are better ways for the city to
use our taxes than subsidizing a
private business venture. This
amendment would make the LCC
answerable to us for their tax
subsidy; perhaps if they had to care
what the people think they would
think twice before throwing people
out on the streets.

It South Hill is lost (and this
remains to be seen) it is lost because
people didn't organize in time to save

‘ it.

Won’t you help us organize now to
prevent the same thing happening
again? Our deadline is Monday,
which means we have four days left
(counting today) in which to collect
signatures. We now have approx-
imately 3,800; we will certainly reach
the required number of 4,150. but if we
are to have a cushion large enough to
assure that the city cannot legally
keep us of the ballot, we will need an
all- out effort in the next few days.

If you can get even five or 10
friends, neighbors or fellow workers
to sign, or if you can spend even an
hour or two (or 10) standing in a
public place or going door-to-door, we
will be that much surer of success.

If you can help, call 252-3298 or
253-0776 and keep trying till you reach
us.

went wrong and to find our beloved
tanks. '

In the meantime, 15 soldiers and I
sat obediently in the parking lot and
waited, and waited and waited. It
seems that in all the confusion the
Captain forgot where he told us to
wait.

So we sat there most of the morning
watching his jeep drive by every few
minutes. Not only had he lost two
tanks but his entire command as well.

Eventually he found us and the
tanks and all proceeded as planned.
That is until the next day when we
started work for real.

Rather than indulge in a rambling
dialogue about how we saved the
Army money, I’ll just give a few
highlights of our proficiency.

In order to tune up a tank’s engine,
it is necessary to remove it from the
tank. This is accomplished by a large
crane. Unfortunately, somebody for-
got to unlatch the bindings on the
engine so instead of pulling the engine
out the crane broke it in half. it’s
cheaper to put in a new engine than
tune the old one up, anyway, so we
weren’t worried.

Later that week we were supposed
to fire M-16’s at a firing range to
prove we were still a crack infantry
unit. Just before the 300 soldiers in my
division arrived at the range, it was
discovered that the range officer had
picked up the wrong ammunition.

“,This wouldn’t have been so bad
except now he was stuck with 13,000
rounds of blanks. Blanks made it a
little tough to determine our score
because they don’t make very big
holes at 25 feet. But they are cheaper
than real bullets.

By the time we finished our two
weeks of training, we had broken one
tank, wrecked two jeeps, and lost
(temporarily) one soldier who ac-
cidentally shot himself in the leg. But,
in so doing, we must have saved the
army a fortune.

So there, Jimmy Carter. As you can

easily see, the Reserves is not .

inefficient nor does it waste money.

Oh, by the way, the tanks are
somewhere at Ft. Knox. Somebody
forgot to take them home.

dollars training us in armor the Army

Fear and loafing in the grocery

 

by cindy cartel!

 

Did you ever notice when you
take your monthly jog down to your
local Kroger’s, Shopper’s Mart or
Liquor Town, the people that you
encounter are totally immune to
reality?

Usually the first thing that hits
you is the produce department. And
there‘s always some broad stock-
ing up on six pounds of lettuce,
apprehending a shortage from a
union strike that happened four
years ago.

And there is the proverbial
housewife, dressed in whatever the
K-Mart special was for that month,
squeezing the tomatoes the same
way she fondles the toilet paper.

As you make your way down to
the bread department, on a good
day you may bump into “stacked
like a truck Mavis” who is always
accompanied by a Kerns trucker.
The conversation between the two
may go something like this: “For a
buck twentyeight I ain‘t bad, and
that includes tax..."

There‘s always some off-color
brand of bread on sale, six for a
dollar. (Of course, the fact that you
could grow your own penicillin

from the fungus crust isn’t sup-
posed to influence your buying,
unless, of course, you are a lab
technician.)

Moving toward the meat section,
you can really make a kill for a
small amount of money if you know
what the specials are. Thinking of
that, my mind reminisces to a
supermarket commercial sounding
something like this:

“Pride, have I got a price for
you! Just look at this great way to
beat meat prices. Let’s stick it to
‘em, Pride!“

‘Started screaming

and never stopped’

Jimmy Page, speaking for
all of Led Zeppelin, says in
the-latest issue of Rolling
Stone that he’s not at all
bothered that the group’s
latest album was produced on
little more than a whim. He
explained that the band had
only intended to keep their
minds active while Robert
Plant was recuperating form
his auto accident.

Page says “Presence” is
the most perfect statement a
group could make and that all
the group’s urgency and
pentup passion is there more

there’s no acoustic material
on the album. He said: “We
started screaming in rehear-
sals and never stopped.”

J.D. Tedder, a Baptist

Rolling Stone says that al-

felt they had to draw the line
when Tedder referred to

them as a “mongrel group of
