Arisen from ashes of old attitudes, women’s sports now fly high

By HOLLY STONE
Kernel Reporter

The gymnasium was packed.
Several hundred fans had to be
turned away. The basketball
playcs were sweaty and the air
was smoky.

That was how Sue Feamster,
current director of UK Women’s
Athletics, described women’s
basketball games at the turn of
the century.

Accrrding to Feamster, this
was abort the only competitive
sport available to women at UK

. durirg that time. “We have no
records to show that there was
’ any other organized competition
among women until the 1950’s,”
she said.
Feamster added that the
.1: content of most physical
education classes was Swedish
3 gymnastics, calisthenics, dances
and games. Women also played
" newly developed European
games such as golf, tennis,
croquet and badminton.

Teams had "Happy" history

UK’s basketball team during
the early 1900’s enjoyed
i; tremendous popularity, traveling
and competing with other teams
in the state; their chief rivals at
the time were Centre and

Transylvania. They usually

played three or four games a
season at Buell Armory, ac-
cording to Feamster.

A. B. “Happy" Chandler, who
lata' became governor of Ken-
tucky, coached women’s
basketball at UK during raw
1921. Most other women’s
basketball teams were coached
by men, but UK also had a few
women coaches, Feamster said.

The captain of the team that
year was Sara Blanding, for
whom Blanding Tower was
named. Ste eventually became
the first woman president of
women’s athletics at Vassar
Collge.

But the idea of sweaty,
muscular women running up and
down a court with other women
shocked some people. The
feminine image of this period
was one of fragility and delicacy.
Many women accepted ill health
as their lot. It was believed that if
women underwent too much
physiml strain, they would either
become sterile or delirious with
brain fever.

Women's sports decline

During the 1920’s, under the
influence of Mrs. Herbert
Hoover, a women’s education
group proposed severely limiting
any type of competition for
women becuse extramural

Initial response good
Recycling efforts
renewed by EAS

By SUZANNE DURHAM

Old newspapers are being
collected by members of the En-
vironmental Action Society (EAS)
for the grohp‘s latest recycling,
drive.

EAS President Steve Mayes said
containers for the papers were put
around campus, mostly in dorms,
last Monday. According to Rick
Phillips, chairman of the recycling
program, the cans were full by
Tuesday night.

Phillips estimated that about 1,000
pounds of papers were picked up last
week. He added that EAS’s
collections “have to be more than
once a week if this keeps up.”

This is only the third recycling
effort for EAS since the organization
was formed in 1970, Mayes said. He
attributed the group‘s discontinuity
to “summer lag,” adding, “The
problem is we're on semesters, and
the program loses its momentum
from term to term.

Uncertain market hurts program

Mayes also cited the fluctuating
recycling market as a reason for the
program‘s problems. The Physical
Plant Division (PPD) took over the
drive last spring until “the
(recycling) market fell out," Mayes
said.

Phillips said at one time old

As to generating interest in put-
ting old papers in the EAS cans,
Mayes said it’s “a question of
educating students." In hopes of
acornplishing that end, EAS
members have put posters around
campis, Mayes said.

EAS is getting no financial
backing from the University in this
drive, Mayes said, but PPDis letting
EAS use one of its cans once a week

from the program will go toward

competition was carsidered not
only unladylike, but also
physically and mentally harmful
to women. Women’s sports
competition came to be con-
sidered a dirty word.

During the Depression,
women’s athletics across the
country suffered further decline.
The Depression was not con-
ducive to expansion of any
educational program, and
women’s athletics were forgotten
and igntred for the next few
decades. Women became limited
to ‘sptrtdaysm and intramural
sports.

Feamster said, “From 1920 to
1948, after World War 11, UK was
at a standstill like many other
colleges armnd the country.”

However, competition in
women’s sports began a
comeback in other areas during
World War II, Feamster said.
Women began working in fac-
tories during the war, and often
softball teams were formed.

Also helping to reverse the
trend was the greater eman-
cipation of women following WW
II.

Local House, Senate races develop

By STEVE BALLINGER
Copy Editor

Fayette County elections for state
representatives, like the Kentucky
legislature itself, tend to be
dominated by the Democratic
Party.

The six representative seats in
Fayette County are up for election.
The 13th District senate seat held by
Michael Moloney will not be con-
tested this year, but the 12th District
will be contested.

Only two Republican legislators
now represent Lexington. State Sen.
Joe Graves will depart to run for
mayor, and 78th district Rep. Larry
Hopkirs announced yesterday he
will seek Graves’ old 12th District
seat

in amouncing his senate can-
didacy yesterday, Hopkins attacked
the Carroll administration over the
controversial leasing of the Pepper
Warehouse.

The incident “is classic proof why
we need more legislators from both
parties who will question and probe
and dare to oppose the political
powers that control state govern-
ment," said Hopkins.

If elected, Hopkins promises to
introduce legislation to control the
bidding on such leases. He would
also suppa't efforts to remove utility
taxes, saying that “heat is as much a
necessity as food or medicine.”

Hopkins is the only announced
candidate in the 12th District.
However, he expects a Democratic
opponent to emerge who will be
“fimnced by and bound to the
Democratic Party.”

With the April 24 primary ap-
proaching, the hardest fought
battles in Fayette County again
should be within the majority party.
The primary winners in each district
will be the Democratic candidates in
the November election.

76th District

in the 76th House District,
Democrats Steven L. Beshear, the
incumbent, and Jerry Lundergan
have criticized each other on the
issue of independence.

Beshear has accused Lundergan
of beirg a “yes-man" for the Carroll
administration who would bargain
and deal over bills. Lundergan
asserted that Beshear’s ef-
fectivenss was impaired by oc-

casionally dissenting with the
democratic administration.

“1 have always reserved the right
to disagree with the administration
when I feel it is wrong,” said
Beshear. His advocacy of expanding
the Medical Center Neonatal care
unit was given little support by Gov.
Julian Carroll and the ad-
ministration.

Medical facilities are also an
interest of Lundergan, who says
they need to be extended in his
district, which is in northern
Lexingtm. Lundergan also favors
fully-funded kindergartens, tighter
control of public utilities, welfare
reform and a campaign to fight drug
abuse.

Lundergan is a former assistant to
US. Rep. John Breckenridge and
was once Democratic Legislation
Chairman for Fayette County.

Beshear has proposed that schools
be given second priority after homes
for natural gas and that financial
assistance be available to Lexington
property owners who will have to
imtall sewers.

75th District
in the 75th District of the house,

incumbent William G. Kenton is
opposed by Lexington attorney
Theodore Berry. Kenton, who is
Speaker of the House, said yester-
day he will announce his candidacy
within the next three weeks.

“A lot of people are dissatisfied,
and we definitely have a chance of
winning," said Berry yesterday. He
claimed that voters in his district
have had inadequate representation
and charged that Kenton’s failure to
oppose evictions caused by con-
struction of the Civic Center, which
is in the 75th District, had alienated
many parole.

in a recent district party election,
Berry said, opponents of a candidate
supported by Kenton were only one
vote shy of defeating that cnadidate.

Berry said he will work to improve
the participation in government of
his constituents—especially the
working clas.

Kenton was confident that his
performance would be an effective
base for a campaign. He cited his
support for wage and hour laws
which established overtime pay for
more than 40-hour work weeks.

Arena should help
the handicapped

The University hasn‘t been guilty of ignoring
the needs of its handicapped students. The many
handicapped parking areas,
wheelchairs, and even a specially equipped

handicapped bus testify to that.

Despite these efforts, some University
facilities still have not been brought into line.
Mast of the older buildings still are either
inaccessible or dangerous for handicapped

students.

The state law (KRS. 56.493.) on architectural
requirements for buildings was not written until
1966, and does not require older buildings to be
remodeled to meet its requirements. It states, in

part:

The standards and specifications to all
buildings...shall take into consideration the
needs of the handicapped and, as far as is
feasible and financially reasonable, make such
buildings and their facilities accessible to, and

usable by, handicapped persons.

One area of service in particular has fallen
short. Consideration for the needs of the ban-
dicapped who wish to attend basketball games,

back of the end zone, on the upper level.

A great majority of the handicapped students
got wind of the unsatisfactory arrangements and

never tried to attend any games. And some who

attended the first game never returned.
Finally, near the end of the season, the

students became angered enough to act. They

announced plans for an orderly demonstration,

to take place at the Alabamba game.

Washington‘s legal community the

Presidential statement with passing
interest. rank-and-tile members of
the law profession were observed

bers: The President of the United
States put his employees on notice
that it was his opinion that much of
our bureaucratic malaise was the

Or, is this just political rhetoric?

But no. The spirit behind this
statement resists attempts at clini-
cal analysis. It cuts much deeper.
Mr. Carter is not a lawyer. He is not
a city slicker. While it is true that he
has gathered a sizable collection of
lawyers and business types into his
Administration, he has kept a much
larger number of nonlegal home
folks around him and his personal
office.

Part of what Jimmy Carter cam-
paigned against was that regulatory
beast known as Washington. John-

lawyers) gave the nation a heavy
dose of legalese and legal grief.
From Vietnam’s illegality to Water-

Tickets

Those of you who date UK students
may not realize what those of us who
(hte non-UK students face in trying
to get tickets to the basketball
games. We are the last to stand in
line for tickets.

There is only one day set aside for
us (Tuesday), and we never have an
opportunity to sit anywhere other
than behind the backboard or “eye-
level” with the rafters at Rupp
Arena.

This doesn't bother me. I think
audents should have first crack at
the good seats (and at all of the
seats) rather than guests. And, yes,
I say this, and believe it, even
though there were no Alabama
tickets available for me on Tuesday

Sinday, gets tickets, and never has

When no guest tickets may be
pirchased, I sit home with my
boyfriend and listen to WVLK. The
married student gets tickets and
fires to the game. Is this equitable?

I object to the discrimination
among types of guests. It is not the
University’s or Athletic Depart-
ment’s function to censor a student’s
choice of guest to determine whether
a not he qualifies for special
treatment.

who is not affiliated with the

Now, during the last three years I
have been trained to think like a
lawyer. This means, among other
things, never to accept something on
its face alone. Always look for the
complexity, the loophole, the advo-
cate’s advantage.

Consequently, when I first heard
Mr. Carter‘s comment, a rush of
possible meanings and consequ-
enccs came to mind. I have a
healthy skepticism about brief

relationship between the Govern-
ment and its people. Purification
through regulation. When in doubt,
codify.

It takes little more than a mom-
ent‘s reflection to see how the Law
has permeated our personal as well
as our governmental relationships.
It has become our social panacea.
Can I sue? Can I at least discuss
litigation? As soon as a human
wound (mental or physical) oozes
forth a bit of legal tangle or personal

liberal-arts “freaks" from the late
1960’s counterculture (like myself)
who have sought out the law as a
route to legitimacy, respectability
and independence.

There is much talk of a glut of
lawyers, but most of my friends
have lined up jobs. Law firms don't
contract; they seem rather to ex-
pand by virtue of their existence
alone. The machine continues to
crank. Every year sees the march of
tlnrsands of bright new faces

 

bomly remains ineffable and unde-
finable. The phrase is “good faith."

Perhaps it is naivete or merely the
warm flush of new beginnings, but
this is surely what Jimmy Carter is
pointing to when he tells us he wants
less law. We could all use a little
more simplicity and humanity in our
lives.

Women’s Day plans settled;
McLaughlin veto criticized

By BETSY PEARCE
Kernel Staff Writer

International Women’s Day
(1WD) will be celebrated at
UK at March 5, despite what
one of its organizers called
“hindering” efforts by
Studart Government (SG).

The day, which is on the
filth anniversary d a 1908
strike by New York women
garment workers for equal
pay, child care facilities and
the right to vote, will begin at
the Student Center
President’s Room at 9 am.
with registration.

According to Margaret
Kelly, National Orgazization

for Women (NOW) campus.

coa'dinatbr, there will be a
pro-choice panel on abortion

that is to include doctors and
a speaker from Planned
Parenthood from 9:30 to 11
am. The panel will discuss
legal, medical and other
aspects d abation.

A lecture by Carol Coates
examining the ERA’s
progress we the years will
follow. Coats, coordinator of
Louisville’s NOW, was a key
speaker at the recent In-
dianapolis ERA rally that
was held ditttly before In-
diana’s ERA ratification.

There will be speakers on
black wanen’s concerns and
lesbian issues, followed by
workshops, in the afternoon.
“There are about eight dif-
ferent workshops on things
like women’s poetry,

feminism, socialism and the

PPD tackles damage

Rape Cris's Center,” Kelly
said.
86 approached for funds

Kelly said she asked 86 for
97.41 several weeks ago in
order to help pay for the day.
“It was a modest demand,
and we badly needed the
money for publicity (posters,
paper and stencils),” she
said.

Approximately 15 feminist-

oriented groups were asked to
help pay for a film which will
be drown, and so “the entire
(financial) burden was not on
SG,” Kelly said.

She said that Hal Haering,
SG vice president, came out
“strongly against” funding
for 1WD, complaining that the
antichoioe side of abortion
should be presented and that
funding should not go toward
“petty” programs that don’t
apply to many students.

However, Kelly maintained

concerns treated seriously
(by 80).”

Despite Haering's
recommendation against
fundirg 1WD, SG passed the
funding request 19-11.

Veto came unexpectedly

Two weeks later 80]
President Mike McLaughlin
vetoed the bill. “It wouldn’t'
have been as bad if he hadn‘t
waited so long, but by this
time I’d already charged
publicity materials to SG,
assuming that we had the
funds,” said Kelly.

“Of all the campus and
community groups who’ve
endorsed 1WD, SG should be
glad to help us," she added.

Now die problem of funding
rests solely on donations.
“There’s not much money in
the women’s movement,”
Kelly said. “Even the
sponsoring groups are on
really tight budgets.”
