UK employes’ union
pickets Trustees meeting

By “ALTER IIIXSON
Assistant Managing Editor

Approximately 25 non-
academic University employes
picketed outside the Patterson
Office Tower yesterday to em-
phasize demands for $1 per hour
across-the board wage increases.

Members of the UK Worker‘s
Organizing Committee. an af-
filiate of the American
Federation of State. County and
Municipal Employes, picketed
for over an hour prior to the
Board of Trustees meeting.

Employes in the lunch-hour
demonstration marched around
the office tower carrying posters
and chanting for the wage in-
creases. Posters and chants
made reference to the Univer-
sity’s annual 8.5 per cent wage
increase granted in July. The
employes claim it failed to cover
inflated costs of living. One
slogan stated “8.5 is a bunch of
jive."

Most of yesterday‘s demon-
strators were young. However.
union organizer Margaret Roach

said older employes are involved
in the union protests. “A few
haven‘t shown interest but some
older workers are very active."

Roach said the number of
protesters was minimal because
of time and the possibility of rain
yesterday. “It '5 really hard to get
hospital employes here because
they only get a half hour for
lunch. I think the chance of rain
may have kept some of them
away too,“ she added.

Yesterday‘s picket marked the
second time the unionized em-
ployes protested before a
Trustees meeting. In May. Roach
presented the wage demands to a
board committee while employes
demonstrated outside. Sub-
sequently. the full board agrees
to consider the request at its Oct.
7 meeting in which final con-
sideration will be given to the
University‘s biennial budget
request.

Although the demand has been
discused, a decision has not been
reached. “The president’s

Controversy
surrounds
Dayan visit

By JACK KOENEMAN
Associate Editor

A controversy has developed over
whether or not former Israeli
Defense Minister Gen. Moshe Dayan
Should be permitted to speak at a
planned campus lecture Sept. 29.

Groups of campus Palestinian
students argue that Dayan will
presenta one-sided view of events in
the Middle East peace negotiations.

The Contemporary Affairs
Committee of the Student Center
Board (SCB), sponsors of Dayan‘s
lecture, wanted to schedule an op-
position speaker, but tight money
situations squelched the idea.

According to Sharon Horstmeyer,
SCB program advisor, “name"
people (those with good crowd
drawing power) usually cost bet-
ween $1500 and $3000, excluding
expenses. Dayan cost $3500. The cost
of Dayan's lecture represents
almost half of Contemporary Af-
fairs‘ yearly budget.

“I’m not sure we have the. money
to bring an opposition speaker,” Bob
Wiseman, chairman of the Con-
temporary Affairs Committee said.
“Without the money we are left with
bringing in a local speaker to
present the opposition‘s side. If we
did that, I‘m not sure there would be
enough interest (to make it wor-
thwhile)." he said.

“I would like to see a Palestinian
speaker, but I don‘t know if it’s our
(Contemporary Affairs‘) place to
find an opposition speaker. We only
got Dayan because the Middle East
was a good topic and he looked good
attendance-wise according to the
other schools where he appeared,"
Wiseman said.

“I think it would be great if the
Iranian Student Association (ISA)
could bring in an opposition
speaker," Wiseman said. He also
said SCB might consider helping ISA
organize the event.

ISA and Arab Students on Campus
(ASC), a new group still in the
organizational phases, are working
in conjunction to present films and a
“Palestinian Week“ the week prior
to Dayan's visit.

A spokesman for ASC, who wished
to remain unidentified, described
the Palestinian week as “a second
side" to Dayan‘s remarks. The ASC
is also discussing the possibility of
inviting an opposition speaker to
campus.

The ASC spokesman said his
group philosophically agreed with a
Spectrum article which appeared in
the Kernel Sept. 11. The article.
written by John Roach, initially
touched off the controversy.

“We oppose Dayan‘s visit because
of his connections with Israel. He is
all that Israeli policy stands for and
we believe he will only give the
Israeli side. We believe that Arabs
and Israelis should be able to live
together and that student‘s money
shouldn‘t be used to make war
against the Palestinians,” the ASC
spokesman said in relation to the
speaker‘s fee Dayan will collect.

spectrum

 

 

A few years back, an event occurred
at the University of Tennessee that few
realists would have ever believed
possible prior to its happening. At least
it wasn’t generally thought possible in
East Tennessee. But happen it did —
UT elected a male homecoming queen.

A paradoxical piece of royalty that
was possible in Atlanta, perhaps. And

 

dick

 

downey

 

 

yes, even probable in merry Los
Angeles (also known as gay L.A.).

But in Knoxville, home of the win-
ningest football team in the
Southeastern Conference for the decade
preceding the election? Blasphemy!
Why, it upsets the Logical Order of
Things. Football coach Bill Battle is
well-known around iock circles at
Tennessee for his efforts at promoting
the public image of the Volunteers as a
male and masculine (thus, all-
American) grOUp of young men. To
complement that image, of course, UT
hasa whole legion of counterparts to its
Gridiron Gladiators —— sparkly-eyed
cheerleaders, voluptuous maiorettes
and on one special Saturday of the
season, the homecoming queen and her
court. All inall, the usual bill of fare for
a comfortable autumn at any given
southern state university, right?

And then along came Vince Rable,
vigorously campaigning for the honor
of queen by unashamedly distributing
leaflets around campus upon which was
printed a photograph of Vince with a
paper bag over his head (a note to some
who may be uninformed about the age-
old ioke inherent in the bag-over-the-
head: ask the nearest working man).

The campus populace responded to
Vince’s efforts by overwhelmingly
voting him as their queen; it‘was the
biggest upset of the day —— on or off the
football field — without a doubt.
Blasphemy? Hardly. The newspapers
reported the whole thing, many a
student got a good laugh out of it and a
tewrooters with orange socks and vests
hurled some Obscenities at the new
royalty. No permanent damage done.

At any rate, now we have the
possibility of a similar accomplishment
in sexual role-reversal by a UK student
— men are now eligible to compete for
the UK homecoming crown. The en-
trance of someone other than the
typical queenly candidate we’re used to
having is probably the only thing that
would revive interest in a competition
whose time of relevance has largely
faded into the oblivion characteristic of
any idea, having outlived its credibility
in the mid-1970’s.

Two offshoot observations on the
successful campaign waged at Ten-
nessee for the title of homecoming
queen (person?):

It seems the common denominator in
most homecoming queens is physical
beauty. As far as beauty goes, I see no
plausible reason why such special
distinction need be given to someone
just because of the good looks that their

A rose

queens

chromosomal lineage or Mother Nature
laid on them. I know, I know, Bert
Parks would probably gnash his
gloriously-capped teeth at me. it’s not
that l have anything against beauty
(especially in women). it’s iust that
there seems to be no rational reason for
rewarding very beautiful women in
such a Big Way.

But maybe I iust don’t recognize the
redeeming social value of the whole
affair.

On the other side of the coin, some
would label the activity sexist and
subversive of the ”correct” self-
concept that women ”should” have of
themselves. l refrain from doing that
because i have yet to witness any more
evil resulting from selection of

 

homecoming queens than from most
other campus activities, all being said
and done. At best, the contest certainly
hasn’t destroyed the quality of life for
most people.

One more thing and then onward:

By putting the paper bag over his
head, did Vince commit the social faux
pas of inadvertent (though not in-
tentional) degradation of women? Was
he putting the ladies down with his ioke,
or did Vince really say from under that
paper bag —— with holes cut in it for the
eyes — ”Hey, girls, I‘m putting the
whole farce out in the open for people to
laugh about?"

At UT most people took Vince the way
they wanted to take him, and the others

didn’t give it a whole lot of con-
sideration in either direction.

Who are the possible winners
resulting from the SCB action to open
up the queen contest? For starters,
there are the students who find the
whole situation amusing. Then there
are the candidates who enjoy the thrill
of victory and don’t necessarily agonize
at defeat; women’s liberationists;
people who get iust plain tired of the
silliness of the whole affair; and
columnists looking for something to
write about in the wake of the death of
student interest in real issues.

And who loses? Those who might
more or less be wilted by the social
implausibility of a queen named
Raymond, for instance, could be the
prospective Miss Kentuckys in the
contest; the studs who kiss the queen at
her-his crowning; advocates of female
pedestalism; and alumni who yearn for
a return to the days of True Romance
(shades of Alan Ladd and Lauren
Bacall).

And what about people like the letter-
writer who contacted the Kernel
recently with the message that his
imagination was offended by the
thought of a nationally-televised game
with a male queen, when millions of
people were "expecting to see our
Kentucky‘bred girls they've always
heard about”?

Must he. be made to readiust his
thinking in accordance to the slow
erosion of the rock of tradition? Or, as
an alternative, transfer down to
Western? What would Tank McNamara
think about the whole thing? (Tank is
bound to run into a homecoming queen
before the year has ended.)

One final query: if a man takes the

homecoming reign for the forthcoming
year, might this bit of personal good
fortune open up new vistas of future
activities for the winner? Like being
Lexington’s new Chesty Morgan?
(Well, there is a vacuum in town with
regard to the type of entertainment
offered by Chesty —— she has moved to
Italy for a while in order to play a lead
role in "Casanova," a movie now being
made by none other than Frederico
Fellini, and scheduled for release early
next year. Honest, it’s the truth.) So
come on fellas, let’s see some spirit and
intestinal fortitude — take a step into
the Unknown — get out there and
campaign for your rights as a person
good enough to be homecoming queen
any old day of the week, even if you’re
not any prettier than the backside of
granddad’s outhouse.

Who knows, maybe someday
somewhere someone will step up to you,
put a paper bag over your head and
say: "Smile, you’re our new
homecoming queen person ! ”

Kissinger warns
against oil price hike

ORLANDO. Fla. (AP) — Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger
said Tuesday that an anticipated price hike by Arab oil producers
“would seriouslyjeopardize” U.S. relations with those nations and
have serious repercussions throughout the world.

Kissinger declared in an address to the Southern Governors
Conference that all countries, particularly the poorer ones, “have
an interest to avoid this."

Kissinger added it is essential that the United States and its in-
dustrial allies get together on an over-all energy policy before
another Arab price increase is announced.

Kissinger did not estimate what the new oil price‘might be. But
he pointed out that the cost of Arab petroleum has climbed 500 per
cent in the last five years.

The average price is now $10.46 a barrel.

In other matters, Kissinger told the 13 governors that the Ford
Administration‘s request for aid to Israel this year “will be below
$2.5 billion; in the range of $2.2 or 2.3 billion. "

WASHINGTON (AP) ~ President Ford said Tuesday he believes
the federal courts apparently have not taken sufficient notice of
1974 legislation that would make forced busing of school children a
last resort tactic.

At the first news conference he has held in his Oval Office, Ford
expressed the opinion that federal courts apparently had not taken
into proper account an August. 1974 amendment to the education
laws that he said listed seven alternatives to be tried before
resorting to forced busing.

Reminded that he. in a series of speeches last week. kept stating
there wasa better way to bring about integration than busing. Ford
was asked if other approaches wouldn‘t cost more money.

Gordon rules demonstration
bans were constitutional

l.()l'lS\'ll.l.E. Ky. — A federal judge has overturned a state
court ruling that a wholesale ban on anti-busing demonstrations
was unconstitutional.

US. District Judge James F. Gordon ruled Tuesday that a Jef-
ferson (‘ircu it judge did not have the authority to declare Louisville
mayor Harvey Sloane‘s ban unconstitutional.

Sloane issued the ban on any kind of demonstration Saturday.
Sept. 6. after a night of anti-busing violence in Jefferson County.
The ban was lifted Wednesday, Sept. 10.

Judge George H. Kunzman Monday had declared the ban un—
constitutional. dismissing charges against two people arrested for
violating the mayor‘s order.

Gordon‘s order apparently reinstates charges against the two
protestors. court officials said.

Last guardsmen pulled
from Jefferson County

I.Ul'lS\'ll.l.t«:. Ky. (AP) ~~ The 400 Kentucky National Guard-
smen remaining on duty in Jefferson County were sent home
Tuesday afternoon. a Guard spokesman said.

The Guardsmen. all that were left from the 1.000 called in Sept. 6
after anti-busing disturbances at several locations in the county.
were mostly Military Police from Louisville, the spokesman said,
so “there was no mass exodus.

“They asked the bus drivers yesterday if they felt safe." the
spokesman said Tuesday, “and some MP's rode today with those
that said they wanted protection. As the afternoon bus runs were
completed. they. the Guardsmen. were sent home.“

About 200 bus drivers out of the 577 being used in the system
requested guards Tuesday. the spokesman said.

The force of 500 Kentucky State Police called in to help control
the disturbances was down to 100 by Tuesday. and a police
spokesman said that number would also be cut today. However. he
said some state police would remain.

(‘l.\’(‘lf\'.\1‘1‘l. UlliO’ A spirit of unity and
bipartisanship is our international as well as
national duty. said Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger Tuesday night.

The l'nited States cannot affort 18 months of
partisan warfare during the upcoming political
campaigns at home. he said. “Our foreign policy
must be a common enterprise for all Americans, for
what we (low or fail to dnv will inevitably affect
events for years to come“ he told 1,700 people in an
address before the (,‘incinatti Chamber of Com-
merce.

Speaking on the United State‘s role in global
peace. Kissinger outlined the goals of past and
present foreign policy; in particular the U.S.’s
involvement in the recent peace negotiations bet-
ween lsrael and Egypt,

“For the United States a diplomatic role in the
Middle East is not a preference but a matter of vital
interest," he said.

The stake of every American in peace in the
Middle East was dramaticly and concretely
illustrated by the Middle East war of 1973, Kissinger
said.

He said the resulting oil embargo. “coupled with
the OPEC price increases, cost Americans half a
million jobs and over $10 billion in national output."
he said. “Also, it set the stage for a serious world
wide recession. from which we are only now
recovering two years later."

And because of Japan's and Western Europe’s
greater dependence on imported oil. the 1973 war
put the most serious strain on US. alliances since
they were founded, he said.

“The October War set in train momentum that is
now irreversible," Kissinger said. “Events can be
channeled toward diplomatic progress, or they can
pull us headlong toward another war."

As a result the United State‘s has been actively
engaged in promoting a peaceful solution. “Time
and time again, the parties involved have turned to
us for mediation. Time and again we have ac-
ceded to these requests because we are convinced

that stagnation invites disaster." he said.

The first step in negotiations was to establish a
spirit of trust and compromise. otherwise no
meaningful negotiations would be possible. he said.

Explaining the need for his shuttle diplomacy
Kissinger said. once such a spirit was established
our government decided to procede step by step
rather than lumping all the problems into one
dramatic public negotiation session. This would
invite futher stalemate if it failed, he said.

“We believed that once the parties began a
negotiating process...where some room for
manuver seemed possible...then they would develop
a stake in success. Solutions to problems more
easily negotiable would build mutual confidence."
Kissinger said.

"Ultimately we expected that the step-by-step
process would bring about. for the first time. the
basic political conditions needed for the overall
settlement ca lled for by Security Council Resolution
338. This remains our goal," he said.

The presence of 200 civilian Americans to assist
with the early warning system in the Siani Passes
is a limited—~but crucial—American responsibility,
to the goalof peace in the Middle Ease, he said.

“The American presence in the Sinai is not a step
into conflict; it is a move which gives added
assurance against conflict,“ Kissinger said.

For this reason it cannot be compared to our
involvement in Indochina. “The two cases are
totally different." he said.

America‘s forces in the Sinai will be limited to 200
volunteer civilians who will occupy a small but
important sector of the UN. neutral zone. “They
are not combat personnel or advisors engaged on
one side of an ongoing war,“ Kissinger said.

They are there at the request of both sides and to
serve both sides. he said.

American presence in the area is nothing new.
“Thirty—six Americans atre at this moment serving
with the United Nations Truce Supervision
Organization in the Middle East. Americans have
been serving in this capacity for over 25 years," he
said.
