A DWINDLING OF volunteers caused Temporary
Kentucky Organization (TKO) to cut the number of
Saturdays it operates the recycling collection center.

“With winter coming, it's difficult getting people to
stand out there for several hours," explained Marilyn
Hofftetter, who schedules volunteers to unload cars
and sort recyclabl‘e items. She said volunteers also get
busy with other shcooland community activities at this
time of year.

“WE HAVE A feeling the decrease in hours won’t
change the amount collected," commented Alda
Prosser, TKO’s vice president. She thinks most people
save their litter for one big haul.

The new collection center hours are 9 am. to 3 pm.
the first Saturday in every month. The collection day
will be Dec. 1.

The center is located at West Main and Vine streets.

Alda Prosser, TKO's vice president, emphasized that
citizens should clean food containers brought in to
prevent a health hazard with rats or bugs. Also, goods
such as glass bottles, aluminum, newspapers,
magazines and corrogated boxes should be grouped
separately. Labels on bottles or cans, Prosser con-
tinued, should be removed so they are ready for
melting at recycling plants.

LEXINGTON. Ky. — A pilot study by a
team of UK psychologists shows that
children who attend day care centers do
not differ mentally or socially from
children who stay home with their
mothers.

The study also shows family relation-
ships are apt to change as a result of
participation in day care centers.

Dr. Richard Winett, who headed the
research team, said the study sheds some
light on one controversial issue of the
feminist movement: whether working
mothers who leave their children in day
care centers are depriving them.

THE PROJECT is unique in that
psychologists studied parents and children
in different types of existing day care
situations. Winett said previous studies
have dealt only with demonstration-type
centers.

“The difference is that those are not
typical of what goes on in the community,“
he said. “They use highly trained people
and there's a small child-teacher ratio.

“There was a need to evaluate fairly
typical situations."

WINETT SAID the most important
findings of the study “a re that apparently
children are not harmed by day care and
baby sitting arrangements and that the

He said the results give “some support
to proponents ofday care and those groups
advocating women’s involvement in work
outside the home and men‘s closer in-
volvement in child care and household
tasks."

Fathers whose children spend time in a
day care center are more likely to devote
time to their children in the evening and
tend to help morewith household tasks and
child care. Winett said. He added,
however. that increased participation of
the father did not appear to either enhance
or hinder the child‘s development.

HE NOTED significant differences exist
between families whose children were in
different child rearing situations. "The
at-home families tended to be more con—
servative, have more children and be
overwhelmingly middle class," he said,
whereas the families in the day care group
were more likely to have “more liberal
backgrounds, have fewer children. have
income levels that varied and have a
mother working."

Winett said.

He stressed that his findings should be
considered applicable only to children and
families with characteristics of those
participating in the study.

ALL CHILDREN in the study were from
families with both parents in the home and
were between the ages of three and five
and one-half.

In addition to studying child rearing in
the home and at day care centers, the
researchers also examined other common
situations such as allday baby-sitting and
partial baby-sitting and partial day-care.

The children in the study had been in
their present situation for at least nine
months.

BOTH PARENTS and children were
given extensive tests. Analysis of the data
took Winett and his colleagues more than a
year.

Winett termed his research “ex—
ploratory" and said more study needs to
be done in the area, particularly with
regard to long term observation of dif-
ferent child rearing situations.

Kr
Transit system offers

lower fares for students

On Dec. 1. a progressive mass transportation system will
begin operation in Lexington with 42 new buses and a fare
reduction from «10 to 25 cents. Lower rates are planned for
students. including college students, and senior citizens.

 

Implementation of a viable bus system is urgent con-
sidering present fuel shortages. This problem is exacer-
bated by America‘s love affair with the automobile. One
loaded bus can take 22 cars off the roads, obviously more
people should leave their cars at home and ride the bus.

Yet present Lexington bus ridership is at an all-time low
while fares are the highest ever. Convincing people spoiled
by the conveniences of the automobile to utilize transit
systems will not be easy. Even comfortable inexpensive
bus rides run at high levels of frequency and efficiency will
have trouble meeting the transportation standards set by
cars. Concern over the energy crisis, with possible gasoline
rationing only months away, will help turn this tide of
resistance.

Mass transportation systems have proved successful in
other cities. Lower rates and improved service resulted in a
68 per cent increase in ridership in Tuscon, Ariz.

Several lanes of a highway in Washington, DC. enforced
limited access to buses only. Travel time by bus is now four
times faster than by car and bus ridership has quadrupled,
eliminating 30 per cent of the cars from the highway.

The Lexington Transit Authority must develop similar
incentives to insure the bus system‘s success.

UK students will pay only 20 cents per bus ride, although
the Transit Authority has not yet worked out a student
identification system. Perhaps bus tokens could be pur-
chased by students at their schools to war off any potential
confusion.

Lexington's low-fare bus system is part of a national
trend toward publicly-subsidized mass transit. Operating
an urban bus system for profit now is not feasible. But in
terms of saving energy and curtailing car pollution, the
future benefits of mass transit far exceed today‘s economic
burden.

A daily nightmare

Yesterday in my car I “stood" on the
brakes to keep from hitting a coed at Rose
and Washington; she was so busy talking
to a pal that she never looked at the green
light. University students surely are
mature enough to assume some respon-
sibility, especially in protection of their
own lives. It is a daily nightmare to drive
on Rose street; students, afoot and on
wheels, literally DARE autoists to run
them down. I, myself, do not want to be a
police statistic.

Ari astonishing letter

The recent letter by the gratuitously
profane Ms. Jill Raymond is at the very
least astonishing for the naivete which it
implies upon the part of either the reader
or the writer. The substance of her case is
that ClVIl liberties are being flouted in
South Vietnam, sometimes flagrantly, and
that the citizens of the Un;ted States give
tacit consent by their silence.

Perhaps a junior English major can be
forgiven for not knowing that even in these
United States, where civil liberties have
become a much-abused fetish of liberals
and leftists, athe Constitution provides in

Section 9 of Article 1 that habeas
corpus may be suspended “When
in cases of rebellion or invasion the public
safety may require it.“ Small wonder that
the South Vietnamese, precariously
fighting to prevent a takeover by Com-
munist totalitarian terror, have found it
necessary to forego the peace-time luxury
of habeas corpus.

Small wonder that the South Vietnamese
choose not to grant to foreign national
Messr. Debris tan ironically aptname) the
right “To demonstrate against the war"
(his own words as reported in the
Kernel). What infinite effrontery of
this presumptuous foreigner to unfurl the
enemy flag in their midst and later tour
the free world whining about South
Vietnam‘s disregard of his right of free
speech!

Someone of Ms. Raymond‘s tender years
is not able to recall how that demigod of
liberals, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in-
terned hundreds of thousands of Japanese-
Amcrican citizens when World War II
began. He did so without any cause
whatever. not only denying them their
civil liberties but bringing about their total
financial ruin as well.

But perhaps the most remarkable
feature of the pitch by Ms. Raymond and
Messr. Debris is its total moral asym-
metry. While two wrongs do not make a
right, it is surely not beside the point to ask
why their indignation does not extend to

Uses of psychological tests

 

B} EDITH PACHTMAN. Ml).

(ll‘rISTIUX‘: What are psychological
tests supposed to show'.’

ANSWER: Psychological tests may be
used to measure intelligence. assess
personality. evaluate feelings or measure
interests and aptitudes. They may be
administered either in a group or iii
dividually. and they may be scored
automatically. semi-automatically. or
more subjectively by a trained
professional They may he used singly. to
answer one or several questions. or in a
battery of tests. to give a more global
overview of a person's functioning.

Generally speaking. tests differ for
children and adults. as the normal func~
timing for each group varies in relation to
physical maturity. education and life
experience. There are even some tests
which take into consideration the decline
of abiliities that come with old age. Some
subjects with language problems who are
not very proficient in English may be
evaluated with languagefree tests. in

their own language, or with some
allowances made for their difficultues in
comprehension and expression. Un-
fortunately. it is not possible to conceive of
a test that would be entirely culture free
so that individuals from cultures widely
discrepant from our own could be fairly
evaluated. Indeed, test-taking behaviors
are learned in our culture.

Although there are many paper-pencil,
self-administered intelligence tests which

yield an IQ. these scores are not very

tisetm unless the interpreter knows from
which test it comes. and the average score
and range of scores from that test. A more
dependable measure is yielded by an iii-
divually administered IQ test. such as the
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Test. in-
cluding information. comprehension,
immediate memory. ability to integrate
objects, verbal concept formation.
psychomotor speed and social awareness.
Separate subtest scores are given for each
and. in the hands of an experienced

examiner, a broad picture of the in-
dividual‘s functioning in intellectual as
well as other personality areas may be
derived.

THE MMPI. or Minnesota Mutiphasic
Personality Inventory, is a self-
administered test of 550 items which can
give scores on most of the important
aspects of personality. By comparing the
scores with norms for the population used
as standard. this test can indicate the
presence of many problem areas.

A more unstructured test which is well
known is the Rorschach Ink Blot Test,
consisting of the blot—like pictures on cards
of which some are black and others are
colored. There are no clear correct an-
swers, and the subject projects whatever
he believes the blots could be, giving a
great deal of information of how he
structures reality, what occupies his
fantasy, how he sees himself in relation to
the world, and how he functions. The
Rorschach test is only useful and reliable
in the hands of an extremely competent

interpreter.

Another well known, relatively un-
structured test is the Thematic Ap-
perception Test. Twenty cards, usually
containing pictures of people in varying
situations are presented and the subject is
asked to tell a story about each. These
stories give some indication of the sub-
ject's interpersonal problems, family
dynamics, self-image, and fantasy life.

ALI. OF THESE tests are useful only in
the hands of a trained examiner, who has
been able to establish some rapport with
the subject, and who is able to interpret
them in the context of the subject‘s unique
assets. problems, and background. They
are diagnostic tools to be used in con-
junction with the interview ’not in-
dependent measures to quantify any ab-
stract qualities of a person‘s functioning.

Can Americans justify capital punishment’9

By JOHN MILLER

The question of capital punishment has
once again been brought to light by several
mass murders which have made the
headlines across the country. How can we
as a nation, or even individually, justify
reinstatement of this
inhumane atrocity? Nonetheless, the
clamoring of grass-root support for capital
punishment, as a means for deterring the
steadily increading violent crime rate, is
gradullly growing and has now forced an
audience with many state representatives.

The irrational and impulsive idiocy,
which seems to be a characteristic of the
good old U. S. of A. these days, will never

barbarous and

opinion from inside and outside the university community

back capital punishment. In addition to
this, the execution of the death penalty is
blatantly discriminatory against
minorities expecially Negores. Between
1945 and 1965, 823 Negroes were convicted
of rape and 110 (13.4 percent) were sen-
tecned to death, while among the 442
whites convicted of the same offence and
during the same years, 9 (2 per cent) were
sentenced to death.

SHOULD WE reinsatate the death
penalty right now, we would be one of the
few free nations to excercise it. Outside of
the Soviet bloc in Europe, Greece and
Spain maintain it. When you consider the

”Questions of this sort" .are not settled by reason; they are settled by
prejudices and sentiments or by emotion. When they are settled, they do
not stay settled, for the emotions change as new stimuli are applied to the

machine. ”

cease to amaze me. It is now “adequately”
serving as the foundation for this drive. If
capital punishment is a deterrence to
violent crimes as they claim, then how can
they explain the fact that in 1971 (the year
before Furman vs. Georgia in which the
Supreme Court ruled that capital punish-
ment does “. .constitute cruel and
unusual punishment. . .“), the four states
with the highest murder rate were all
states which legally had capital punish-
ment on their books and had used it ex-
tensively?

IN A REPORT by the President's
Commission on Law Enforcement and
Administration of Justice, the commission
concluded that . .based on a comparison
of homicide rates in capital and non-
capital jurisdictions. .there is no
discernible correlation between the
availability of the death penalty and the
homicide rate."

They also reported that in a study of 27
states, they found that “. . .there was no
significant difference between the two
kinds of States in the safety of policemen
and that the availability of the death
sentence had no_effect on the rate of
assaults and murders of prison guards.”

The lack of a deterrent effect is just one
of the many arguments against bringing

executions in Brazil and South Vietnam, it
is frightening to think with whom we would
be associating.

One of the odd perplexities of the capital
punishment proponents is the fact that
they have ignored rehabilitation as a
possible alternative to their solution.
Nathan Leopold received the sentence of
death penalty in Illinois and it was reduced
to life after his appeal. After 20 years, he
was released on parole and became one of

America‘s foremost scientists and writers.

Above and beyond all these arguments
.infallibility of
we must consider.

given, there is the .
human judgement. . .”
H. Bedeau, in researching this argument,
found that between 1893 and 1967, 74 in-
nocent people had been sentenced to death
and seven were executed. Timothy Evans
was actually pardoned by the Queen after
he was hanged for a crime he did not
commit!

WITH THESE facts in mind, I do not see
how we as civilized human beings can even
consider bringing back capital punish-
ment. It can not be considered anything
but “ .the rude justice of a barbarous
age.”

Many elections center

By ALAN STEIN
and
GEORGEANN ROSENBERG

When a political alliance is formed in an
election, it should be expected that the
candidates involved have united to carry
out some specific goal and establish a
platform based on their intentions for the
office or offices. However, one of the
major faults of our political electorate is
the selection of candidates based on non-
issue reasoning in which the campaign is
centered around irrelevant factors rather
than the gut issues.

This nation has seen politicans elected
for everything from charisma to race and
religion. Even the choice of a party can—
didate because the voter identifies with
that party, without knowledge of the
issues, is inadequate and dangerously
shortsighted. lt merely provides an ex-
cuse for the lazy and disinterested to

remain ignorant. In the same logic,

coalitions can be equally harmful if they
are not relevant to'the issues.

WE HAVE recently seen just such a
flagrant abuse of political coalitions in the
Student Government Senate at-large
elections. The “greek Coalition" was the
result of a few short-sighted candidates
who decided to circulate a list of 19 Greeks
running for the senate, as a publicity
campaign. It is apparent that they did not
consider the consequences of their actions.

To other Greeks, the “coalition list"
implied, because the issues were excluded,
that we should vote for these Greeks
becsause, of course. all Greeks think alike.

Actually. there was a great diversity
within the Greek candidates, as there are
with all Greeks, and obviously not all had
the same platform. Similarly, it is an in-
sult to anyone‘s intelligence to read a
poster that says, "Vote Greek. . .Vote Joe
Schmoe.“ Being Greek is not an issue in
Student Government.

on ‘irrelevant' issues

The “coalition" list also implied that a
Greek should feel an obligatory force to
vote for another Greek because we must
all stick together. Our objectives and
concerns as Greeks overlap in many
significant ways. but never in such a way
that we should be encouraged to abandon
our own opinions blindly. for the sake of
Greek coherence and unity.

Hl'T EVEN MORE important is the
damage this has done to relations between
Greeks and independents. How many
students viewed this whole thing as an
attempt to cloud the issues and to polarize
Greeks and lndependents'.’ How many will
be directly affected by this when we vote
for a new SG President Ill the Spring? And
will this be an obstacle to a Greek can-
didate then?

In a time when we are proving our
relevance to ourselves and to the rest of
the campus,wecannotafford tobe making
errors and misjudgements which affect

our image. We cannot afford to sink back
into Greek stereotyping. It can only be
hoped that the lack of foresight of a few
will not reflect upon all Greeks.

It is doubtful that these candidates
realized the implications and innuendoes
of this ”coalition“ publicity campaign. It
is also probable that most Greeks viewed it
with lesser apprehension and discontent
than expressed here. But it was recognized
and perhaps can be a valuable lesson to all
of us. We hope that the fallacy of non-issue
coalitions is obvious, and that we can
respect the judgement of a candidate by
merits and issues above all.

Free cigarettes given as reward

Students used in tobacco study

By CHARLES WOLFE
Kernel Staff Writer

In an effort to determine
smoking trends of various age
and social groups, UK students
are being used for one phase of a
smoking study conducted by the
Tobacco and Health Research
Program.

Rather than attempting to
study a cross-section of the dif-
ferent groups, each group is
studied individually and com-
pared, said Dr. Robert Griffith,
scientific advisor to the program.

THE RESEARCH TEAM plans
to use about 200 students in the
study. “Because of variability
among individuals," Griffith
said, “it takes a large number to
determine trends."

Financing for the study comes
from the one-half cent tax levied
by the state on each pack of
cigarettes. Griffith added the
tax garners about $3 million
yearly.

Students are presently being
solicited by members of the
research team and are scheduled
for appointments in Research
Facility No. 1.

EACH VOLUNTEER smokes a
cigarette on a puff charac-
terization machine designed to
calculate rate of flow and volume
of puff. Griffith said the machine
is used basically “to determine
how and how much people
smoke.”

The machine prints its results
on a graph which helps determine
smoking patterns based on the
individual’s smoking history.

After answering a series of
questions concerning personal
smoking habits, each volunteer is
given a carton of his or her brand
of cigarettes and asked to save
the butts each day for one week.
If a sufficient number of butts are
returned, a second carton is
given as, a reward for par-
ticipation.

ANALYSIS OF THE butts
reveals how much smoking was
done in terms of intake and
capacfiy.

Griffith said the cigarettes
were bought by the case on the

open market with research funds.
A random sampling of packs
from each case was taken to
determine the cigarettes’
properties. Each case bears the
same date of manufacture, but
different cases can vary greatly,
Griffith said. even though they
are the same brand. For this
reason, each volunteer is asked
to smoke only those cigarettes
given them by the team.
Griffith said the volunteer
method was adopted because an

—-———-—

accurate analysis of smoking
habits can not be obtained under
laboratory conditions where the
subject is conscious of being
observed. Under these con-
ditions, his habits change and he
enters a tension state.

GRIFFITH ADDED that
tension studies have been con-
ducted in the past in order to
study these changes, and cited a
hospital waiting room as an
excellent location for such a
study.

UK trustees expected
to approve changes

Two changes in the Univer-
sity‘s Governing Regulations are
expected to receive the Board of
Trustees approval today. The
first would establish the Honors
Program as an educational unit
with department status and
would make it administratively
responsible to the Dean of Un-
dergraduate Studies.

A second revision would give
the Dean of Undergraduate
