Editor's Note: This is the third in a
three-part series on union
organization efforts by UK non-
academic employes.

By MIKE MEUSER
Assistant Managing Editor

Successful union organizations of
non-academic employes at
universitis in Ohio have provided
the chief impetus for creation of a
union at UK, according to local
organizers and national union of-
ficials.

The original request for
recognition by the UK Board of
Trustees in 1972 was made by a
representative of Council 51, Public
Employes Council, an affilliate of
the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employes
(AFSCME).

Researchers may soon forecast justice shifts

By LEONARD KELSAY
Kernel Staff Writer

The behavior of Supreme Court
justices may follow predictable
patterns, according to the research
of a UK political science professor
who specializes in studying the
Supreme Court,

The voting patterns of the justices
often show individual changes in
attitude. according to Dr. Sidney
Ulmer, distinguished professor of
political science.

“Research on the attitude of two
Supreme Court justices towards
certain cases shows that their
behavior follows a predictable pat

tern." Ulmer said. “In the case of
Justice tHugo) Black, for instance,
his behavior toward civil liberties
can be described as a parabola. He
began low. gradually increased until
he reached a peak in 1964 or
thereabouts. and then declined. The
fascinating thing is that similiar
curves have also been found in other
areas for Black and (former (Thief
Justice) Earl Warren."

“You may say. well, so what. but
the implications are profound. Just-
ices are appointed for life. and both
Presidents and Congress try to get
someone who agrees with their
political philosophy.

“The unstated assumption is that
the behavior of the justices will
remain the same, or at least, that
the change can’t be predicted,"
Ulmer said. “If the behavior follows
a predictable pattern, it will make it
easier to argue for set limits on the
terms of the justices. so that their
philosophies will not get out of touch
with the times."

The most intriguing thing of all,
Ulmer said. is that no one knows
why the behavior changes. “The
most obvious conclusion is age, but
there is nothing to back that up,"
Ulmer said. “Some reporters attri-
buted Black's decreased support of

Griffey’s RBI hit defeats Phillies;
Reds take series in three straight

CINCINNATI (AP)-~Ken Griffey

drive in Cincinnati‘s third run in the
bottom of the ninth inning. giving the
Reds a sensational 7‘6 comeback
triumph over the Philadelphia
Phillies ’husday for their second
straight National League cham-

The Reds seemed headed for a
fourth game Wednesday night.
Then, with lightning suddenness,
their big bats exploded. George
Foster and Johnny Bench. the first
two batters in the bottom of the
ninth, crashed massive home runs to
left field and the game was tied.

With the three-game sweep of the
bestof-five series. the Reds became
the first team in the National League
to achieve that feat twice in a row.
They did it last year by taking three
straight from Pittsburgh. then beat
Boston in a dramatic seven-game
World Series.

In the crucial ninth, the homers

decreased after gradually increas-
ing over a long time. Besides, the
same pattern is found in the behav-
ior of Warren."

Ulmer plans to chart the behavior
of every justice of the Court on
which enough information can be
found. “We‘ll be investigating about
500i them,” he said with a smile. “It
will take years. but we‘ll find out,“
he said emphatically. “Of course,
we may find that the curves for
Warren and Black were flukes. But
we'll know."

Ulmer is also engaged is trying to
discover how Supreme Court deci-
sions are made, and how the Court
agrees to hear cases.

“We function under a system of
public accountability,” Ulmer said.
“But the behavior of the Supreme
Court, which determines what the
law is, is shrouded in mystery.
People tend to think they are above
us—Olympian. They‘re not."

To that end, Ulmer has analyzed
how the famous Brown vs. Board of
Education decision which ended
segregation in schools was reached.
“There was a majority for intergra-
tion when Warren came onto the
Court,“ he said. “But it wasn‘t
unanimous. Warren performed a
real act of judicial statesmanship by
coaxing justices opposed to integra-
tion to vote for Brown. if we had a
split decision in that case, the entire
country would have been confused.
especially since there might have
been nine separate opinions. Warren
boiled them down to one clearcut
decision.“

Ulmer is also intrigued by the
process whereby the Court accepts
cases for review. “The Court sets
the agenda for social change," he
said. “if they decide not to review a
case. the issue may disappear from
the national consciousness.

“By investigating which cases are
accepted, we've noticed a distinct
tendency for the Court to accept
more cases appealed by the federal
government than by people. That is
a convenient marker for justices-—
some are more inclined to take
appeals from what society calls ‘low
dogs'; some are more likely to vote
to hear appeals from ‘high dogs.‘ All
in all, however, the Court listens
more to ‘high dogs.‘ "

 

No complaints

Partly cloudy and mild today
with a high it the low 70's. The
low tonight will be in the low
40‘s. Thursday will be sunny and
cooler, with a high in the upper
60's.

 

 

 

Executive Director of Council 51,
Al Van Hagen, said from his office in
Cincinnati that the organization
there has been successful on both the
local and state fronts.

“Our problems here are miminal
now," Van Hagen said. “We already
have a contract at the University of
Cindnnati and we just completed
negotiations at the University of
Miami."

Van Hagen said the union is
plagued at the state level by a lack of
collective bargaining legislation for
public employes, a situation officials
say is similar to Kentucky’s. Van
Hagen said he expects a law per-
mitting collective bargaining to be
pasedin the next session of the Ohio
legislature.

“A collective bargaining law for
public employes was passed last
session,” Van Hagen said. “The
governor then vetoed the bill and
was overridden in the Senate. but we
lost by two votes in the House."

Van Hagen said that because the
union has a highly organized lobby
in Ohio, he anticipates the additional
votes will be available in the next
session.

Although Van Hagen said he
thought organization efforts would
eventually succeed in Kentucky, he
acknowledged that the problems
facing workers here are still large
ones.

“Their chief obstacle will ob~
viously be getting recognition by the
University. If the management was
really concerned about how the
workers felt on unionization they
would survey them either by a show
of cards or a representation elec-
tion," Van Hagen said.

Van Hagen also said the lack of
collective bargaining legislation
would be a problem, but that
national developments may force
the issue in Kentucky despite
leada'ship opposition.

“There is a national collective
bargaining law now in committee in
Congress,” Van Hagen said. “If it
looks like it will go anywhere, the
states may begin moving to create
their own legislation to avoid
federally imposed regulations.“

Robert Kessler, International
AFSCME Area director, said

establishment of his office in
Lexington was coincidental with
efforts to pass collective bargaining
legislation in the 1976 session of the
Kentucky General Assembly.

“1 was in Kentucky to try and aid
in the passage of collective
bargaining legislation when the
Park‘s ruling about the UK workers
was handed down so we decided to
aid in their efforts," Kessler said.

Although no chartered local was
established, Kessler formed a
committee of about 20 workers in
various departments to help
organize UK workers, he said.

“They have done a tremendous
job," Kessler said. “We just don‘t
have the available staff to do the job
ourseleves“

Kessler said he has also been
trying to recruit workers as staff
members on a “lost time" basis,
similar to a leave of absence, to
work for the union.

“1 justcan't seem to be able to find
anyone," Kessler said. “The em-
ployes are afraid they can’t get a
leave for this purpose and that if it
doesn‘t work out they will suffer
repercussions when they return to
work.“

Kessler added that despite the set-
.backs, he is not going to desert the
UK effort. “The appeal by the Board
of Trustees to the Kentucky
Supreme Court is strictly a stall
tactic and everyone knows it,”
Kessler said. “Our main obstacle is
communication to all the workers
and I think we can solve that
problem."

 

We goofed

Because of typographical
error in yesterday‘s
unionization story, Fayette
Circuit Court Judge James
Park‘s opinion that the UK
Board of Trustees had the right
to enter into collective
bargaining with employees was
mistakenly reported. The error
said Park's decision did not
permit such action by the
University; the decision does
permit it.

Introducing

Moron

and N urd

This fall’s Presidential campaign is being
greeted with a wave of apathy never before
accorded the determination of the nation’s next
leader. Apparently, a lot of people are not

. satisfied with the candidates

Already it is not uncommon to hear someone
say “it doesn‘t matter who gets elected, they’re
all lousy anyway.” Should this flood of indiffer-
ence continue, we could soon hear Americans
saying, ‘They might as well have a nurd or a
norm run for President.”

\loticing this developing viewpoint, a new
nreed of politicians has emerged into the
political mainstream.

Among the declared candidates for President
right now are, indeed. a nurd and a moron, both
self-proclaimed. These candidates are attempt-
ing to recapture the lost interest in American
political campaigns.

The Kernel was first made aware of these new
breed political candidates last spring when a
”Captain Moron for President” bumper sticker
arrived in the mail. Now, this fall, the movement
has been further manifested by a similar arrival
'if “Nurd for President" propoganda.

Both candidates reveal through their plat-
forms a poignant distaste for the current
presidential aspirants. Captain Moron ’8 theme:
"There’s been enough idiots in the White House,
't‘s time we elected a moron.”

Both Nurd and Captain Moron attack the
ssues of this fall’s campaign. Captain Moron’s
«tance on abortion is more reasonable than that
if Ford and Carter, who disguise their positions

 

Announces Candidacy
for President of U. S.

with rhetoric. Captain Moron says simply:
“Anyone who is against abortion is lower than
whale shit at the bottom of the Marianna
Trench.”

The Nurd campaign now centers on the
Presidential debates. A Nurd campaign news
release states that Nurd was unable to attain
equal time for the debates But according to the
release, “The Nurd will debate anyway. He has
positioned a mirror across from his favorite
chair and awaits your calls.”

Of course, these candidates aren’t really
serious and will receive write-in votes only from
equally comical Americans. Nurd and Moron
aren’t likely to say politically stupid things to
Playboy but, on the other hand, they can
probably tell the difference between Eastern and
Western Europe.

Commentary calling UKI T a joke

is labled a “grave injustice’

in the sports commentary ap-
pearing in the Oct. 7 Kernel, Joe
Kemp said, in so many words, that
the UKIT was a joke. This is a grave
injustice to Athletic Director Cliff
Hagan, badtetball coach Joe Hall,
and UK basketball fans in general.
Kemp complains that the visiting
teams are “nobodies” are not very
competitive with teams of UK’s
caliber.

It's important to examine the
purpose of the UKIT. Historically,
the UKIT selection committee has
tried to pick a team from different
regions of the country to give UK

 

commentary

 

fans a view of contrasting styles.
Admittedly, some of the teams were
not very good, but a list of some of
the players who have played in the
past five UKIT’s is quite impressive.

Brian Taylor, an all-ABA guard
with the New York Nets, appeared
with Princeton; John Brown, a
starter for the Atlanta Hawks, with
Missouri; Ron Lee, a college All-
American and top pro draft pick,
with Oregon; and Ronnie Daniel,
fresh from a stellar high school
career in Louisville, with Oklahoma
State. Let us not forget other top pro
prospects such as Lonnie Shelton,
Rich Kelley, and Scott Lloyd who
have been showcased in past
UKlT’s.

Perhaps the most important ob«
jective of the UKIT is to give fans
who do not have season tickets the
oppa'tunity to see the Wildcats in
action. The only people to see UK
play, for the most part, are season
ticket holders and students. There
are many people who look forward
to the UKIT just because it gives
them the opportunity to see UK play
in person. If the Cats play a good
team, it is merely icing on the cake.

Kentucky basketball is a great
sporting event, and we as students
tend to take our spectator privileges
for granted. If the team par-
ticipated in New York's Holiday
Festival Tournament, as Kemp
foolishly suggests, wouldn’t that
neglect the right of the non—season
ticket holder to see UK play?
Hopefully, the move to Rupp Arena
will allow the general public to at-
tend games previously sold out.
However, a ticket to a UK basketball
game may still be hard to come by.

Kemp also “gripes” about the
weaker non-conference schedule.
How much tougher should it be?
Acca‘ding to Basketball Weekly, we
played the second toughest schedule
in the nation last year. Granted,
playing such conference teams as
Alabama, Tennessee and Auburn

contributed to this rating. However,
our nut-conference foes included
Indiana, Notre Dame, and North
Carolilna.

This year, our conference
schedule remains the same but,
perish the thought, we did drop
North Carolina in favor of a South
Carolina team Kemp seems to
regard lightly. In reality, the
Gamecocks are an admirable foe
. with one of the finest coaches in the
nation in Frank McGuire. They are a
perennial Top Nenty candidate in
addition to being one of the top in-
dependents in the country.

As for the selection of Wisconsin
for the opening game in Rupp Arena,
there were newspaper articles
written alluding to the fact that both

UCLA. and Marquette were
contacted by Athletic Director Cliff
Hagan as possible opponents.
However, they couldn’t or wouldn’t
confirm because of prior corn-
mitments elsewhere. How many
other teams are left to play? Can you
expect a team to be in top form for
the NCAA toumament after com-
pleting such a rigorous schedule?

Kemp’s article probably had good
intentions, but it tended to come
across as a cheap shot at the UK
basketball program which over the
years has proven to be one of the
finest in the country.

 

This article was submitted by ac-
counting sophomores Jim Frasure
and David Flanery.

 

(.‘ATS IN ACTION
...is the UKIT competitive?

am the 8dlt0r coo Advertising benefits newspapers and consumers

consumer. The consumer is able to
sift through advertising, comparing
goods and services offered with
prices in order to make the best
choice.

Advertising also benefits the
consumer by establishing a com-
petitive market. ideally,
newspapers seek to provide all the
available information about goods
and services so that readers——
consumers—can chose the best
place to shop. By providing this
information. a competitive market
is established and advertisers are
forced to keep prices as low as
pmsible.

Newspapers recognize this service
providai by advertising. But they
also recognize that advertising is
primarily a financial proposition.
Currently, advertising provides 99

per cent of the Kernel‘s income.
Since the Kernel is independent—we
receive no University financial
support-the Kernel would quickly
fold without ads.

We solicit advertising primarily
from businesses courting the 18 to 34
age group—the UK market. Our
advertising is designed to appeal to
the tastes «i this age group. Family
advertising, or other ads of this
nature, generally do not appear in
the Kernel.

Advertis'ng is central to the
newspaper as a whole. The amount
of ads we receive, for example,
determines the size of the
newspaper. As the size of the Kernel
grows. sodo printingcosts. We try to
maintain 6535 ratio of ads to news
space—«this approximately
represents our break even point.

We gain advertising revenue from
two major sources: display and
classified advertising. Display ads
provide our major source of
revenue.

Display advertising is printed in
block form, bordering news stories
in the Kernel. Generally, there are
two forms of display advertising;
national l general) display and local
retail display.

We charge higher rates for
national advertising (outside a 50-
mile radius of Lexington) in order to
support and protect our local
businesses from losing trade to an
outside source.

Our relationship with the local
retail advertisers is reciprocal.
While we chrge local retailers a
lower price for their ads, their
continued support keeps us in

business.

Our other major advertising
source, the clasifieds, generally
appear on the second to last page of
the newspaper. Appropriately, they
appear under the heading
“Classifieds."

The Kernel carries two major
forms of classified advertising: the
want ads and classified display.
Want ads appear under certain
headings (for rent, for sale, help
wanted. personals, etc.).

Although classifieds are the best
read section of any newspaper, they
arealso accepted for the lowest cat.
Newspapa's are able to do this
because dasifieds are very small
and do not receive great play like the
large- local retail ads.

Classified display ads appear in
boxed form, occasionally appearing

suuoeso Patti!“

with the want ads. These ads are
more expensive than local display
but less expensive than national
display ads The classified displays
rate might seem expensive but,
because they stand out among the
classifieds and appear in the but
read section of the newspaper, they
really aren’t.

Advertising means a lot to
newspapers—especially the Kernel,
which is dbtriboted free of charge.

But advertising can mean big
bucks to the consumer, too—if he
knows how to use it to get the but
deal posible.

Court upholds Watergate convictions

WASHINGTON [AP] —
The US. Court of Appeals on
Tuesday upheld the Water-
gate cover-up convictions of
three of former President
Richard M. Nixon’s closest
aides but granted a new trial
for onetime Nixon campaign
assistant Robert C. Mardian.

In a 300-page opinion, the
six judges said defendants in
the four-month-long conspir-
acy trial had been properly
tried and found guilty of
“wide-ranging conspiracy”
at the highest levels of gov-
ernment.

A separate opinion said
Mardian, a former assistant
attorney general, should have
been tried separately from
co-defendants John N. Mit-
chell, H. R. Haldeman and
John D. Ehrlichman.

JOHN EHRLICHMAN

A fifth defendant, lawyer
Kenneth W. Parkinson, was
acquitted when the jury re-
turned its verdict on New
Year's Day 1975.

Mitchell, a former attorney
general; Haldeman, the for-
mer White House chief of
staff; Ehrlichman. Nixon‘s
principal domestic affairs
adviser. and Mardian were
all found guilty of plotting to
illegally block investigations
into the original break-in at
Democratic National (Tour
mittee headquarters during
another presidential election
campaign June 17, 1972.

Mardian had been sentenc-
ed to a 10—month to three—year
jail term by US. District
Judge John J. Sirica. Mit-
chell, Haldeman and Ehr-
lichman were given jail
terms of 21; to 8 years.

All have remained free
pending their appeals in
most cases, losing in the

appeals court would mean
going to jail even if the
Supreme Court is asked to
take the case.

But Ehrlichman is also
facing a minimum 20-month
jail term for a separate
conviction in the White House
Plumbers case and has been
allowed to stay free pending a
Supreme (‘ourt appeal,

Lawyers tor Ehrlichman
said he was denied a fair trial
because Sirica failed to re-
cess the trial long enough for
Nixon to recover from phle-
bitis and appear as a witness.

But the appeals court said
after reviewing testimony at
the trial. it had decided
Nixon's "testimony would
have. been of marginal sig-
nificance."

Inoculations suspended after three deaths

Less than two weeks after it
began, the nationwide swine
flu vaccination program was
suspended in five states Tues-
day after the deaths of three
elderly persons who took the
flu shots in Pennsylvania.

All three died from heart
attacks within hours of re-
ceiving the shots, said Alle-
gheny County Coroner Cyril
Wecht, but what caused the
heart attacks was not known.

The two women and a man
who died, all in their seven-
ties, had histories of heart or
lung problems and their
deaths could have been
caused simply by the stress of
getting the inoculations,
Wecht said.
