Ford's amnesty endorsement produces
dissatisfaction among local groups

By NANCY DALV
Kernel Staff Writer

President Ford‘s endorsement of
conditional amnesty for Vietnam War
deserters and draft resisters has created
dissatisfaction among members of groups
on both sides of the issue.

Ford told the Veterans of Foreign Wars
IVFWI convention last Monday he
limited amnesty on a caseby-case basis
but rejects blanket amnesty advocated by
antiwar groups.

favors

\ MEMBER of one such group. David
Fdwaids of Lexington People for Amnesty
1|.l’ At had mixed reactions to the
President‘s announcement.

"I‘m not pleased with what he said."
Edwards said "He talked about war
resistcrs as casualties of the war era. but
on the other hand he talked about
forgiveness. But forgiveness and casualty
don't fit together logically."

[)raft resisters are victims of the war
and shouldn't have to be forgiven before
the can come home. he said "Real
amnesty would simply be recogniring the
complexity of the Vietnam War and
consenting to put it behind. to forget it."

Ford's recognition of problems faced by
'leserters and draft resistei's

"He has in a sense given permission to a
great majority of Ainevican people to
consider the possibility of granting
amnesty. " Edwards said

"Ford's new policy marks a radical
departure from that of former President
Nixon.” he said.

EDWARDS. Wilt) served two years of
alternate service as a conscientious
objector. said Ford has opened up debate
on amnesty. “it's no longer anti-American
or taboo to favor amnesty." he said.

A former American Legion commander
said Ford's statement has not resulted in a
softening of their firm opposition to
amnesty.

Harold W. Fann. past commander of
liexmgton‘s Man 0' War Post No. 8. said
the American Legion reiterated its policy
at a national convention in Miami last
week. two days after Ford's speech

“I II \I) TO go to war and fight for my
country and fight for freedom in World
War ll." said Fann "l have very little
sympathy for those who wouldn't answer
lin' call of their country ”

A local VFW official. who attended the
t'hicago convention and preferred not to be
identified said Ford failed to change many
minds on the controversial issue He added

that he found most VFW members

Red River Dam becomes
Kentucky's political toy

It‘s unfortunate that after all these
years the Red River Dam controversy
continues to plague the affairs of this
state.

Though we felt long ago the
proposals of the US. Army Corps of
Engineers had reached the ultimate
in absurdity we find ourselves
observing the issue as the hottest
topic of the upcoming US. Senate
race betwen Marlow Cook and
Wendell Ford.

Environmentalists and concerned
citizens have staged a commendable
battle against the dam in recent
months. pointing out the complete
uselessness of the project. only to find
their pleas falling on deaf ears. We
refer not to the deaf ears of politicians
but those of the majority of
Kentuckians who seem to care little
one way or another.

Too many times the “deficiencies“
of the Corps' impact studies have
been fed to the citizenry of the state.
Most recently. opponents of the dam
received a break when the Corps
decided to delay construction of the
project to reevaluate its final
environmental impact study. But
ironically the Corps has received the
biggest break because it's been given

Each time a wrong has been found
the Corps has received a second shot
to seek the proper solution. After 12
years and no answer to the problems
of the Red River region there can‘t be
too many avenues remaining open to
the Corps. -

Battling the dam becomes more
frustrating for opponents when the
Corps claims it is a “viable“ project
from one side of its mouth. but admits
“it looks like our (the opponent's)
complaints are being substantiated,"
from the other.

The politicians have the issue right
where they want it — on top of the
pile. hiding all other issues that may
mean just as much to the citizens. It's
disgusting that the dam has become a
toy for these candidates but we
mustn‘t let them dominate the game.

Many groups have joined forces to
fight the project to the wire and they
still seek support. Contrary to the
general consensus that in the end the
politicians will decide the fate of Red
River Gorge. we feel a rallying of
forces behind the intentions of the
environmentalists by the public is the
key that will lock the door.

Wendell'

plain talkers

become dam confusion

By RA‘ Dl( KINSON

THE OLD man opens his eyes
real wide and gives us a
just-between-you-and-melook
and says, “Why for a year and a
half he went up to Washington
once every month to try and stop
that dam. But it didn‘t do no
good.“

We haven’t quite recovered
from this when bug-eye hops
back into the conversation and
looks right at me and says,
“Honey. it‘s the Corps that's
pushing the dam, not the
Governor. He don‘t want the
dam. Governor Ford loves
Kentucky, and if he had any say
in the matter he wouldn‘t let
anything happen that would
harm it.“

I edge her on a little more.
”And he‘s come out against the
dam. but he hasn't come out for it
either He just knows he can't
affect the outcome. so he doesn‘t
try.“

WELL. NOW. that‘s using the
old head there. bugeye. I mean,
we got an issue here that‘s gonna
cost our boy votes, so let‘s put the
blame somewhere else, okay?
Let‘s unload it all on the Corps
and give our man a clean slate.
That‘s real good thinking there.
ma‘am. Why that's the kind of
politicking what that gets people
promotions.

We thank the two of them like
crazy for clearing up the matter
for us. and then walk away with
yet another tale to tell about
Wendell's people. The Ford
workers, you see, are notorious
for their ignorance about the dam
issue. and the stories about them
are numerous For example, one
day I asked six people working at
his booth if they could tell me one
reason why the Governor wants
the dam. None of them could, of
course and two went as far as to
say they disagreed with Ford’s
stand. And another night Linda
Welch went up to Ford‘s booth
and said, “Now, Ford is for that
dam, right? And that man Cook.
He's against it. Is that right?”
The Ford people arose quickly to
the occasion and explained that
oh, no, both candidates have
come out strongly against the

dam.
Looking back, it is hard for me

Ford says wage

WASHINGTON (AP) —— President Ford vowed
“wage and price controls are-

Wednesday that
out, period.“

He declared that the government and the wage
earner must accept some belt-tightening and
“watch every penny" to combat inflation.

The President, who has often voiced opposition
to wage-price controls, said he met recently with
Democratic and Republican leaders of Congress
who told him there was no possibility Congress
would approve legislation authorizing controls
In addition, he said
management almost unanimously agree that
wage and price controls at the present time or
under any foreseeable circumstances were

to say whether bugeye or the old
man or any of the others were
lying to us deliberately or simply
terribly confused about things. I
certainly hope they were lying;
certainly they must know their
own candidate‘s views on the
issue. But that is a value
judgement of sorts, and it is not
my wish to overestimate any—
one‘s sintelligence At any rate. as
long as we are up against people
like these. we still have a good
chance to stop the dam.

That .s iisingthe old head there.
ma'am. Yes sir. the Governor
ain‘t exactly against the Red
River Dam, but. well now. he
hasn‘t come out for it neither.
Just a little plain talk from the
Wendell Ford people. you under-
stand. Trying to set us straight as
it seems we‘re a bit confused
about this dam issue.

It‘s Wednesday, August 21, and
we‘re up in Louisville at the
Kentucky State Fair. putting in a
twelve hour shift at the “Save
Red River Gorge" booth. Right

now we ‘re making the rounds,
visiting the booths of the Army
Corps of Engineers and Wendell
Ford for Senator and causing
trouble.

Iris Skidmore and I are
standing at Ford’s booth now,
acting ignorant about the dam
and hamming it up.

“NOW LET'S see, ” I’m saying.
“That Wendell Ford. Now hes
the one who 5 against that dam,
right?“

A bugeyed lady and an old
man. both working at the booth,
suddenly come alive. The lady's
explaining quicker than anything
about how the dam is going to
flood a very beautiful area, but
that how it‘s not Wendell Ford‘s
fault. It's the Army Corps of
Engineers what who are at fault.
and, why. if you all are
environmentally minded or any-
thing. now the Governor. he just
recently stopped the chairlift at
Cumberland Falls. so the Red
River Dam. well. it‘s too bad all
right. but the Governor just can‘t
do a thing, you know‘?

When shefinally stops. I say.
“Then it is Ford who‘s against
the dam, right?"

Well, now. kids. she‘s saying,
there‘s nothing the Governor can
do. you know“? Why. if the Corps
wants to build that dam then
they 're gonna build it and there's
not a thing the Governor can do
about it.

IRIS DICt‘IDES to take issue
with this. which blows our cover
of total ignorance slightly. She
says how she always heard that
the Governor could stop the dam
anytime he wanted to,

Now it‘s the old man who picks
up the debate. He shakes his head
at us and says. “Oh. no. The
Governor don‘t have no say so at
all He's tried to stop the dam.
He‘s done eV erything that can be
done to stop it. He don' t want that
dam. But if the Corps wants it,
they get it."

We can‘t believe what we’re
hearing, and we begin to wonder
how long they‘ll go on lying to us
like this. i try to push them a little
farther.

“Well, what has the Governor
done to stop the dam?" I ask.

although final statistics will not
be available until the end of
September.

During the 1973-74 school year.
417 foreign students were en-
rolled into lTniversity programs.
There had been some speculation
that the number might drop for
this year due to stricter
immigration laws. but Dalton
does not see this happening.

DALTON SAID UK has many
advantages to the foreign stu-
dent. Although many other
universities in the United States
have experienced the enrollment
drop, UK still draws students
because of its comparably
inexpensive tuition fee and cost of
living.

As with last year, 75-80 new
students should be arriving at the
University, Dalton said. Of the
total foreign student enrollment,
approximately two-thirds will be
on the graduate level.

“Students come because of
friends. or are here through
government programs,“ Dalton
said. “They are als here through
the reputation established in
certain programs such as engi-
neering."

The. foreign students prepare
for their year at [’K through

students

contacts by mail during the
summer They also arrive early
for orientation seminars and
receive needed information at a
desk at registration

Last year there were students
from :32 countries studying at the
l'niversity. wrth the majority
coming from the Republic of
(‘hina. Thailand. India and Iran

a member of the Rape (‘risis

on the needs of the woman.

“H E WILL have information
on physical examinations. proce-
dure for reporting the attack to
the police. and transportation if
needed." liudniek said. “The
possibility of pregnancy and
venereal disease will be ex-
plained If she just wants to talk,
we're there for that too.“

Another purpose of the line is to
provide emotional support to a
rape victim Society traditionally
blames the woman and makes
her feel gutty for the crime.
according to Rudnick

“The law in Kentucky _, and in
many other sates ,, permits a

defense counselor in a rape case
to get any information from the
woman on her sexual history and
expound it to the Jury.” ltudnick
said. “But the prosecuting
attorney may not bring into court
'tlie history of the accused rapist.
Because of this it is difficult to get
convictions ”

according to Rudnick. "We need
to end the idea that the woman
causes it." she said. "Eight year

Volunteers will be trained to
deal with rape victims at a
session Sept. 14.

Rudnick advised the coeds not
walk alone at night. They should
carry and use a whistle or
scream if attacked. and observe
the attacker closely and try to
draw him into conversation.

UK plans to continue
energy saving policies

UK is planning to continue the
energy saving policies begun last
year because of the energy crisis.

These programs include the
removal of lights. and voluntary
cooperation in the reduction of
heat in the buildings on campus,

“THE (‘RISIS woke up people.
and taught them that they could
get along With less." said
Lawrence E. Porgy .lr.. vice
president for business affairs.

Forgy said that the University
community should cooperate in
conserving energy even without a
crisis. just as a good practice

In addition to continuing
existing progratiis, li‘orgy said
several new programs are also

under consideration. including a
University-wide paper recycling
system.

THE ONLY program which is
seriously in trouble is the faculty
and staff car—pool system. which
Forgy said received minimal
response. But he feels that to
offer more incentives would
require a total restructuring of
the present parking system.

Porgy said that the reduction of
lights would be continued be-
cause the safety of the campus is
not harmed by it “There was no
removal of external lights of
removal of all illumination in any
area The Intensity was the only
thing attected." l’orgy said
