As Vietnam ceasefire anniversary passes,
Ford wants $300 million more in U.S. aid

for Saigon—with no questions asked

By NANCY I)AI.Y
Associate Editor
As the second anniversary of the In-
dochina Peace Agreement passed this
week. Americans were again being faced
with the questions that attacked the basis
of 12 years‘ involvement in Vietnam.
Vietnam is back in the news. The Ford
administration has asked '(‘ongress for
$300 million in supplemental military aid
to Saigon and maintains the principle of
whether or not the United States should be
involved in Indochina is not at question.

A LONGTIME Lexington antiwar ac~
tivist couldn‘t disagree more.

Mary Elizabeth Branaman, third year
law student, considers the questions the
administration wants to avoid essential to
any debate over sending money to the
South Vietnamese government.

“I gue§ it's very hard for the govern-
ment to give up the ghost of Vietnam.
although it would be a lot easier if they

did," she said. “It almost seems silly, in
practical politics. for Ford to continue
propping up the Saigon regime.

“I THINK IT'S ironic that Vietnam is
back in the news now that there is an
anniversary of a two-yearold ceasefire
which was never in fact a ceasefire." said
Branaman. whose efforts to cutoff aid to
Saigon have intensified since the signing of
the ceasefire Jan. 27. 1973.

Along with other veteran peace ac-
tivists, Bra naman has tried to educate the
public about congressional attempts to
slash funding of President Nguyen Van
Thieu‘s govemment. And despite the
relative obscurity of Vietnam since the
ceasefire, Branaman feels (‘ongress has

responded to the peace lobby by reducing
military appropriations to Vietnam and

Branaman is somewhat hopeful that
Congress will reject Ford's supplemental
military aid request. “Congressional
approval is pretty much out of the realm of
possibility," she said, “because in 1924
alone half of the requested money was cut
out of any economic or military assistance
sent to South Vietnam.

“WHAT IT MEANS to the American
people is the danger of reintervention as a
real threat and a reluctance on the part of
Congress to appropriate the money,“ she
said.

Branaman regrets that she wasn‘t able
to go to Washington, DC. this week to join
a national assembly of groups against aid
to Saigon. She said the assembly will step
up lobbying efforts and try to focus at-
tention on the ceasefire anniversary.

"I think the ceasefire is a joke,”
Branaman said. “I visited Vietnam six
months after the ceasefire and that was

No Trespassing

State, county police are now arresting High Bridge visitors

By WALTER HIXSON
Kernel Staff Writer

In the past UK students have frequented
High Bridge - a 308-foot high railroad
structure spanning the Kentucky River.
No longer.

Due to complaints from the bridge‘s
owners, the Southern Railway System and
area residents, state and Jessamine
("ounty police are now enforcing the ”N0
TRESPASSING" signs posted on the 96-
yearold bridge.

TWU l'K students received a rude
awakening to that fact last Saturday when
they were arrested by state police and
charged with third degree trespassing -.
the most minor trespassing offense Tom
()‘Neal. accounting senior, and Bob Pflum.
community health senior, are to pay a $10
fine plus $21 in court fees for trespassing
on the bridge. ()‘Neal admitted being

"caught redihanded“ but labled the fine
“ridiculous"

()‘Neatand I’flum were also bothered by
the fact that although they were charged
with a misdemeanor, they were
photographed and fingerprinted. The tw0
said people arrested by Jessamine County
Police identified themselves and were
fined.

Jessamine (‘ounty Sheriff Gene Goldey
said his tifice is enforcing the law due to
complaints and because allowing people
on the bridge is a “safety hazard." He
cited rocks and other objects being thrown
off the bridge at passing boats as examples
of safety hazards.

GOLDEY SAID his office received
complaints from residents that people
were on the bridge shooting guns “but it
usually turned out being firecrackers.“

pound cannon ball down onto the road.

Uoldey said the enforcement was the
result of “a few messing it up for

Goldey said offenders are not first given
a warning before being arrested because
“there are signs up there . that‘s all the

to give wamings. “But it didn't work," he
said, “We still had to run up there every

Lyn Williamson. assistant dean of

A fact-finding committee appointed
by President Otis A. Singletary
recently reported that $5.195 is being
paid to the University Faculty Club
annually by students. However, the
committee made no suggestions for
changing the Faculty Club‘s findings.

It seems improper that students are
subsidizing the Faculty Club, since
students do not receive any benefits
from the club. The primary function
of the Faculty Club is to provide a
place for “facilitating contact bet—
ween faailty members from different
disciplines and between faculty
members and administrators." said
club president Willis Sutton.

Faculty. office staff and graduate

assistants are eligible for mem-
bership in the Faculty Club, which
uses three rooms on the third floor of
the Student Center.

The $5,195 subsidized by students
seems to be a conservative figure at
best. The methods used to obtain
that figure are questionable and
several committee members in-
dicated the amount provided by
students is greater than $5,195.

According to the committee‘s
preliminary report, the annual cost
associated with the Faculty Club
operation is $15,456. Of that figure
$2.500 is paid for by club members.
(The 400 members of the Faculty Club
pay $15 in dues annually.)

Faculty Club: How much does it cost us?

Another $7,761 is subtracted from
the total cost of run'ning the Faculty
Club by some tortuous reasoning. The
committee determined that since
some student organizations have
office space in Alumni Gym they have
a financial advantage because the
Student Center budget does not pay
for the gym‘s operating costs.
Therefore, the committee subtracted
the estimated value of these student
organizations‘ office space in Alumni
va.

Three committee members have
said they do not think the $7,761 should
have been subtracted from the
Faculty Club‘s expenses. So we
question, since the committee was

comprised of six members. how and
why the deletion was made.

If the deletion had not been made it
would mean that students are ac-
tually subsidizing the Faculty Club
about $13,000 annually instead of the
$5,195 reported by the committee.

Whatever the amount is determined
to be, it is not right that the Faculty
(‘lub should occupy a permanent
space in the Student (‘enter while
student organizations are shoved into
Alumni Gym. It comes down to a
matter not so much of money but of
how best to use Student Center space.

was the throwing of objects onto

aspect of crowd misconduct the

Now that GI Bill legislation has
recently been passed and Public Law
93-508 is in effect, you the veteran can be
satisfied that Congress had the initiative to
override the President‘s veto and thereby
give you, the veteran, all the just benefits
you deserve. WRONG!

Congress did act properly by giving us
the 23 per cent increase, but the nine
month extension only applies to under-
graduates prior to a Bachelor's Degree. If
you are planning to continue your edu-
cation toward a MS. or PhD. you are not
entitled to the nine month extension. If
your 36 months are running out, you will
have to look to other funding. You then
turn to the new $600 VA, Education Loan
Program. WRONG AGAIN! First. this
program is at an interest rate of 8 per
cent? Second. you must be refused by two
other lenders and been refused a Guaran-
teed Student Loan before a V.A.Education
loan may be authorized. Are you interest-
ed in a second Bachelors Degree. Medical
School, Dental School. Law School. Tech-
nical School? If so. you are not entitled to
the nine month extension.

WE OF THE UK Veterans Club,
members of the Kentucky Collegiate
Veterans Association (KCVA). have

fought for federal legislation to benefit
veterans and are continuing our fight for
repeal and amendment of Public Law

ing legislation so that the nine month
extension applies to all students. not only
undergraduates. We want a better loan
program and tuition assistance and in—
creased general assistance to meet cur

Athletes victimized by 'super-stud' stereotyping

H) M. R. SHEPHERD
Ms. Dougherty. have you ever taken
Freshman Comp? Well. in this particular
course one learns about fallacies. and I
think maybe you should check into the

subject. I'ntil you get the chance. I‘d like .

to point out the ones you made in yourt
recent letter to the editor.

You say there is “an obvious disparity
between male and female scholarships in
this athletic program.“ How true ~ HOW
TRUE? But what has that got to do with
the “jocks“? Do we inadvertantly blame
them for the system and for the way the
thinking of the entire population has been
all these years? Women‘s sports are just
beginning to gain the recognition and
receive the appropriations and publicity
they have so long deserved. If you really
want to help the women‘s sports program
don't sit and gripe. get going with
Women‘s (‘oncerns to help correct the
problem.

“AND A BEAI'TIFI'I. agriculture farm
raped." Oh. how petty of you, Ms.
Dougherty. Look around ya. honey. Hasn't
this country been ravaged over and over
again with the scars of it written off as
“progress"? And you cite one building as
ravaging the earth. Where were you when
they built New Circle Road? Burger Chef?
Where was your protest when the Thomas
Hunt Morgan building was erected? Have

you yet launched a war against the

proposed North-South Tollway?

Perhaps you should know that revenue
from Commonwealth Stadium supports
the other sports programs on this campus
except basketball. If it weren‘t for football
and basketball games. there wouldn‘t be
other sports programs for persons to
participate in if they so choose. And yes, I
believe we do still have freedom of choice.

Now we get to the worst of your ab-
surdity

these jocks and women of this campus
usually result in definite stereotype role
playing" Well, well, who's fault is that?
The “jocks"? It seems to me that women
who put themselves into the “submissive.

 

“Interactions between many of‘

 

helpless sexual commodity“ situation
have no one to blame but themselves.
Have you ever seen one of these
“groupies” in action? I have -— and it is
truly sickening how they will make total
asses of themselves (to the “jocks" and
everyone else around them) just to get the
attention of the “All—American-type hero“.

And whose fault is it. I ask you »— whose
fault? The woman who sees and puts
herself in the role of running after a guy
because he happens to wear a varsity
jacket is a sad case. Do you also infer that
“jocks" have sex ~ sometimes even
vulgar sex? (Heaven forbid. l Are they the
only ones on this campus who do? If that
were true. I'll guarantee you there‘d be a
lot more guys going into sports.

FAST CARS. huh? If all the “jocks“ are
jetting around in “big. fast cars" I‘ve
never seen them. If you have the license
numbers. perhaps you could tell the
”jocks" which cars are supposed to be
theirs and point them out.

My major gripe with you is that you
massed a couple hundred men into one
category and labeled it. The stereotype of
the “dumb jock" has come about by
persons such as yourself who look at one
small percentage of athletes and judge all
others by their actions and behavior. So, I
'now ask you, what happened to the in»
dividual? Is this not the problem that

women are facing right now (I refer to
your remark about women's scholarships)
when they can't get attention as in-
dividuals with talent because of being
massed into the “women are all inferior in
every aspect" syndrome? Are you
overlooking the achievements and at-
tributes of individual athletes just to
further perpetuate the stereotype?

I know quite a few athletes personally
(had you already guessed?) These men‘s
majors run from Physical Education to
Economics. Pre-Med and Law with a good
percentage of them having GPA's of 3 to
4.0. On the other hand. I also know some
athletes who are the biggest jerks I have
ever metand who can only be classified by
my standards as derelicts. I don‘t judge
them by the massive. super-stud image
they supposedly take on but rather I look
at the individual.

TRY TAKING the same number of men
from Haggin Hall. or any other you wish,
to compare the GPA's. majors. and
achievements and you will find little
diversity, it any.

So. Ms. Dougherty. perhaps you should
reevaluate your values are we to
be judged for our race. religion. sex. our
game? ()r are we to be judged for the
persons we are?
