Detroit ghetto strives for new life

Editor's note: This is the final in-

stallment of a three-part series on
low-income housing in Lexington
and other cities.

By GREGG FIELDS
Copy Editor

Residents of South Hill lost the
fight for their neighborhood.
Residents of Detroit’s Woodward
East neighborhood appear to be
winning.

Woodward East, a zsblock area
immediately north of the Michigan
city’s downtown, has some of the
oldest housing in Detroit. Crumbling
mansions sliced into separate
apartments sag alongside rubble-
covered vacant lots.

“We are," said Edith Woodberry,
a longtime resident, “a ghetto
area."

Volume LXIX, Number 116
F riday, March l0, 1978

In 1967, with support from neigh-
borhood churches, Woodberry and
other residents formed Woodward
East Projects, lnc. Churches sup-
ported the organization “by helping
us find resources and speaking out
for us,” according to Woodberry,
who is now president of WEPl.

The clnrches gradually withdrew
their support. “We were left
hanging,” said Woodward. “But we
had qu’t talking about rats, roaches
and cracked windows, which is
where the churches’ thrust was."

WEPI became the voice of the
community. It received a $385,000
community development grant from
the Department of Housing and
Urban Development and $295,680
from the American Revolution
Bicentennial Association. These two
grants were earmarked for
renovating buildings’ exteriors. The

Michigan State Housing Develop
ment Authority also contributed
$100,000 for rehabilitating interiors.

Virtually all of this money was
funneled into a 2'r2—block area. With

- acquisition grants from HUD, WEPl

reportedly purchased more than
10 buildings and several vacant lots
in this area. However, Woodberry
refused to elaborate on how much
property WEPl owns.

But keeping a neighborhood intact
while attempting to improve it is
difficult, Woodberry said.

For example, 95 percent of the
area’s 14,000 residents are black.
The area was 99 percent black a
decade ago. Speculative property
buying by outsiders, who could
profit handsomely if white
professionals start moving in, has
been reported, although it hasn’t
reached major proportions.

Said Woodberry: “(‘harlic (as she
calls white people) is coming in and
he‘s trying to uproot us." Woodberry
claimed that in addition to buying
property, whites are attempting to
break up the neighborhood by
discrediting her. “They started
rumors that id misused funds,
trying to make me look bad," she
said.

There is no proof that malicious
rumors were intentionally darted
by anyone. But WEPl does have
critics.

”We‘re disappointed in the
progress in Woodward East from a
timetable point of view," said Frank
llolasinski, an ass0ciate architect
with Detroit's Community and
Economic Development Depart-
ment. “We really don‘t have a unit
ready to move into.“

Electricity cutback causes campus-wide changes

By GIL LAWSON
Kernel Staff Writer

The energy cutbacks requested by
Gov. Julian Carroll have resulted in
several major changes in the day-to-
day operation of UK.

“We’re in a holding pattern right
now and probably will have to stay
there till the end of the month,” said
Busines Affairs Vice President
Jack Blanton.

Blanton added that the cutbacks
are causing problems with security
and have earned a drop in the
revenue derived from campus
vending machines.

Sixty percent of the vending
machines on campis, 168 of the 280
at UK, have been shut off, according
to George Ruschell, assistant
business affairs vice president. UK

AFTER A LENGHTY AND HEATED DEBATE. the
Kentucky House of Representatives approved a bill
yesterday to increase coal severence tax revenues, and
to allocate a portion of the states Energy Road Fund to
counties through which coal is hauled.

The House defeated an amendment that would have
allocated a larger share of the tax to non-coal-
producing counties for repair of coal roads, after coal
county legislators said it would hurt the biggest coal

Robinson's order become effective at 7 am. local
time today and requires coal miners to work for the
same wages and benefits they received under the most
recent contract — the one signed in 1974 that expired

the total income from the machines.

Ruschell said the machines
normally take in $15-$20,000 a
month. He said he didn’t know how
much the University would lose as a
result of the cutback.

Macke Manager Keith Lemons
said the company is voluntarily
cooperating with the cutback
request and will take no legal action.

He said Macke has had to lay off
three of its workers became of the
energy cutbacks. Lemons added
that the rest of the employers are
working reduced hours — fivehour
shifts instead of eight-hour shifts.

Acording to Jim Wessels, Physical
Plant director, the vending
machines use 0.9 percent of UK’s
electricity. Wessels added that the
energy saved from the vending
machines is enough to provide all of
Shawneetown with electrical power

Outside lighting on campus has
also been curtailed. Tom Padgett,

public safety director, said campus
police have doubled their patrols
during the night Campis police
presently have 10 unitsmfive on
footand fivein cars —~ patrolling the
area.

According to Padgett, the major
problem with the extra patrols is
that the officers have to work 12-
hour shifts instead of the usual eight
hours. The policemen are paid time-
and-a-half for overtime hours.

Padgett added that the limited
lighting has not caused an increase
in criminal activity. The only in-
cident related to lighting-woes
report about a man harassing coeds

At Eastern Kentucky University,
the curtailed lighting has caused
problems. A staff member of the
EKU newspaper, the Eastern
Progress, said that two rapes and
three assaults have been reported
since the outside lights were turned

 

PRESIDENT CARTER APPEALED T0 STRIKING
COAL MINERS yesterday in Washington to obey a
back-to-work court order and said a crisis would be
averted if a “moderate number” go back to the mines.

He said he has absolutely no plans to seek authority
for the federal government to seize the struck mines,
which has been urged by many strikers in the hope that
the government will give them better terms than those
offered by the mine owners.

Carter said he has ordered Attorney General Griffin
Bell to direct enforcement of the order, which was
expected to prohibit picketing or interference with
deliveries of coal or with miners who want to return to

work.

in his fifth news conference this year, Carter also
said he has no intention of trying to pressure Israeli
Prime Minister Menachem Begin into making con-
cessions sought by Arab states. But he also criticized
Begin‘s resistance to ending the Isreali occupation of
the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and said the Middle
East situation has deteriorated since Egyptian leader
Anwar Sadat went to Jerusalem in November.

off. All of the incidents took place in
unlighted areas.

Padgett said that because of the
trouble at EKU, some lights at UK
will be turned back on. “We may
find ourselves re-evaluating the
need here and maybe turning on a
few lights in areas that are critical.”
he said. He added that the additional
lights would not affect the con-
servation efforts.

The campus radio station, WBKY,
has also experienced problems due
to the energy cutbacks.

Don Wheeler, station manager,
said the station normally broadcasts
126 hours per week. The station now
operates 52 hours each week.
Wheeler said this resulted in a 59
percent saving of electricity.

According to Wheeler, the station
loses $80 a day because of the
reduction in hours. WBKY must
broadcast 18 hours a day to be
eligible for a federal grant. With the

cutbacks in hours, the station will
lose the funding.

Wheeler said he plans to appeal
the grant cut-off, but is unsure of the
outcome

Wheeler has proposed a new
energy plan that would reduce
WBKY‘s broadcast area but would
allow the station to be on the air 126
hours a week. lle said the station
could reduce power from 50.000
watts to 8,000 watts and cut energy
use by 75 percent. The plan is now
under considu‘ation by University
administrators.

Students in the residence halls
have been asked to make voluntary
cutbacks. Hall lights, heaters and
other clecrical appliances have been
shut off to save electricity.

Rosemary l’oiid. asSOciatc dean of
students. said students have been
cooperative in complying with the
l'iiiy'r-i‘sity"s request. “l‘m real

pleased and proud of the residence
hall students," Pond said.

Pond said she has received few
complaints about the reductions
imposed on the students. Heating in
the residence halls is turned on and
off in two-hour cycles and all lights
are turned off during the day.

The residence halls use 15 percent
of all the campus' electricity. ac-
cording to Wessels.

Wessels added that the University
was able to keep up its 25 percent
cutback throughout February. ”I
feel like we‘ll keep that up," Wessels
said, “The March figures look like
the days we had in February."

Wessels said he is analyzing any
alternatives the University would
have if asked to curtail its energy
use by 50 percent. He added that he
thought l.‘K could remain open and
still make the 50 percent cutback if it
was given two weeks‘ notice.

University not required to pay
current federal minimum wage

Ry MARY ANN BUt‘llART
Kernel Staff Writer

Not all students working on
campus or through the campus
employment office are earning
federal minimum wage, but the
number of student employees on
campus indicates that they don’t
seem to mind.

Since UK does not fall under the
wage regulations of the federal
government. it only has to pay the
state minimum wage of $1.60 per
hour, according to the coordinator of
the student employment program.
M. C. Foushee.

Students working on campus all
come under the state minimum
wage law. “But," Foushee said.
“most of the employers that we have
contracts with pay as much as they
can afford. The least amount paid to
students through this office is $1.90

per hour, but there is no standard
rate of pay on campus."

The student cmploymcnt office
contracts with cmploycis. both on
and offcampus. who come under the
state law. Students who apply at the
employment office wait while their
qualifications are matched with the
nccdsof the employers on contract.

If the student agrees to take the
job, the office then transfers the
.‘ipplicution to the employer. who
makes the final decision.

“In dividing who is referred to the
:iyailable jobs, we first look at
financial need, their qualifications
and times available to work We try
to be as fair as possible." said
li‘oushce.

The work study program has
\arying hourly rates of pay for the
different jobs. but most start at $2.30
with a fiveccnt yearly raise.

Since the work study program is a

form of financial aid. students work
to pay for their education while
earning money for themselves,
Students are alloted a certain
inunhcr of hours to satisfy the work-
study requirement but are per-
mitted to work no more than 20
hours per week.

Financial need is established
according to fcdiral regulations and
guidelines. Whenevir possible. the
jobs assigned by the program relate
to the student‘s major or interests.

NCAA tourney: bad pairings and not enough seats

The contingent of fans from UK in Knoxville
tomorrow will be rather limited when the
Wildcats take on Florida State in the first round
of the NCAA tournament. Students received only
44 tickets, from a total allocation of 259.

The crunch for basketball tickets to games is
particularly acute when the games are as close
as Knoxville, within easy driving distance.
Forty-four tickets just isn’t enough for all the
students who would like to go.

The distribution of tickets is made according to
a policy established by the ticket committee,
under which students receive one-third of each
game’s total allotment. Tickets for the band
came from the studalt allotment at Knoxvdle,
but will be subtracted before the one-third

division is made at Dayton and St. Louis, should
UK get that far.

Why so few tickets? Apparently it’s an NCAA
policy to give a certain low amount to all the
schoob, with slightly larger allotments for each
round as they advance. That practice is meant to
keep down the number of unused tickets that are
returned by schools with little fan interest or
which are located far from the tournament site.

That kind of procedure is fine for the lowest
common denominator, like when Syracuse plays
at Knoxville. But when a high~powered program
with UK’s following plays its tourney games
close to home, that policy is just not adequate.

The NCAA should use some flexibility in ticket-
allocating guidelines. The fans who’ve followed a

club all year should have a decent chance to see
them at championship time.

While we’re on the subject of improving the
NCAA tournament, it would be a good idea to
revise the match-up system.

It’s just bad sportsmanship to have Top 10
squads playing in the first game of a five-round
tourney. It’s also absurd to have No. l-ranked
UK playing defending champion and No. 3
Marquette in the second game, should they both
win their first games. ,

UK was supposed to play the worst at-large
team in the region. Instead, they get No. 13
Florida State, whom everyone else thinks is
better than Mideast selections Syracuse and

Providence. It’s been speculated that the NCAA
made the weird UK-Florida State match to have
a good game for the national TV ratings.

The new system of seeding teams in the
regional tournaments was meant to bring order
and impartiality to the pairings. It doesn’t seem
to have worked. The tournament will feature 11
teams from the East, several of which are much
less highly regarded than absent clubs like
Mississippi State and Texas.

Other tourneys, notably in tennis, operate with
seeding lists that keep the top-ranked players
from meeting until the final rounds. The NCAA is
hampered with it’s regional format, but more
attention to the rankings and early matchups
would create a fairer, more intersting tour-
nament.
