Singletary
outlines goals

By RON MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer

an independent student newspaper

UK President Otis Singletary outlined
the progress of the University within the
past year and goals for the upcoming year
in his annual State of the University
speech to the University Senate Monday
afternoon.

During the one and one half hour speech
the administrator touched on all facets of
the institution, ranging from academics to
student life.

The report was similar to the same
speech last year by Singletary in which he
painted a bleak picture for student aid and
rising costs. In Monday’s speech the
President reported on many of the
programs he outlined one year ago.

In other action, the Senate passed a
recommendation to give the Honors

Program a separate educational unit
status.

Singletary delivered progress reports on
enrollment figures, current construction,
student aid, research programs, com-
munity colleges, fund-raising, the Medical
Center, faculty responsibility and the
“mood of the campus.”

Enrollment figures for the current
semester show a “modest increase” of
only about 300 students indicating the
University is in step with a national trend
of leveling-off of enrollments, Singletary
told the audience of about 225 students and
faculty.

“It appears to me that for the second
consecutive year we are out of the business
of having to deal with the vast influx of

additional students as we have the years
before,” Singletary noted and offered
several reasons for the leveling off.

He suggested enrollment limitations
within various departments and colleges,
higher costs of attending college, un-
certainty over student aid and disen-
chantment with higher education as
possible reasons for the stability.

Singletary said the general “situation”
on campus has improved and that he
favors “what some people decry, and that
is the lessening or lowering of tensions on
campus.”

The president denounced any in-
sinuations that teaching is a minor priority
within the University and cited progress

WASHINGTON — President Nixon, in
an ambitious bid to move out of
Watergate’s shadow. urged Congress
yesterday to join him in a “constructive
partnership” to speedily enact major
legislation.

Submitting an unusual 15.000-word State
of the Union message, Nixon held out olive
branches to the Democratic-controlled
Senate and House as he called for “swift
and decisive action" on administration
bills ranging from revenue sharing to
trade, pension and tax reforms.

REPEATEDLY PLEDGING his
cooperation, Nixon told the legislators that

Aaron belted the 37th homer of the
season following a walk to Darrell Evans.
After the homer, the 39-year-old slugger
left the game with a stomach disorder.

household appliances to automobiles.

Under Phase 4 rules, the increase can be
passed on to consumers on a dollar-tor-
dollar basis. The council action, effective
Oct. 1, thus could have an eventual effect
in prices at the retail level.

“if we proceed in a spirit of constructive
partnership, our varying perspectives can
be a source of greater creativity rather
than a cause of deadlock."

Welcoming what he termed a
“congressional renaissance," Nixon said
he believes in a strong Congress as well as
a strong presidency and asserted:

“There can be no monopoly of wisdom
on either end of Pennsylvania Avenue—
and there should be no monopoly of
power.”

RESPONDING TO the speech, House
Speaker Carl Albert, D-Okla., said, “I feel
pretty good about it." He added that he

A lesson for all

Let history record the decade of the '70‘s as the
period of Watergate. government espionage...and
student involvement in the political process.

One lesson all should learn from Watergate‘s
assorted blunders is this: new. young blood is needed
to maintain the political process at a high level of
honesty and credibility.

In a word. students represent this “new blood“;
they‘re sorely needed if politics is to be brought again
to life.

The past ten years have brought about a gradual
decay in political honesty and have bred correspon-
ding mistrust by the citizenry. It began with President
Johnson, who rammed the Tonkin Gulf resolution
through Congress, enabling LBJ to mire the country
into the Vietnamese War..

Students used the numbers and moral voices to
make America look at itself. Through student ac-
tivists. America bared its soul, and began to
disengage from Vietnam. Each time President Nixon
dragged his feet. or substituted bombs for troops,
students let him know what was expected.

Last January. the U.S. “officially" extricated itself
from Vietnam.

Now that Nixon has more or less obligated the
United States to defend Cambodia. it is time for
students to once again act as the political conscience
of the country.

Demonstrations aren‘t enough, however. Despite
his loss in the election, Democratic Presidential
candidate George McGovern showed that young
voters could effect necessary change in an antiquated
political party. If America is to expand on the
McGovern ”phenomenon,” it must do it through the
political parties

In this manner, changes made for the better will be
those which will remain and will govern the country in

Gives thanks(?)
to the Kernel

As a former FREE U coordinator and a
present member of the co-ordinating body,
I would like to thank The Kentucky Kernel,
UK’s award-winning, student-controlled
daily newspaper for their insight and
courage in pursuit of the question, “Should
FREE U be voted funds by the University
Senate this year?”

Yes sir, you have to get up pretty early
in the morning to fool the Kernel. Why,
from my own personal experience, I can
list any number of subversive activities
instigated by this organization—

—The development of the highly
technical art of aiming the lethal frisbee.

——Basic Fly Fishing, which any jour-
nalists worth their salt can see is merely a
plot to feed our American youth such high
concentrations of toxic chemicals that
they become vegetable-ized.

—Macrame, with any number of lethal
knots, all suitable for piano wire
strangulations.

—Etc., etc., ad nauseum.
I need not say more. If you can’t see the
communism in all this, you’re blind.

In conclusion, I, for one, will sleep
sounder at night knowing that we have the
Kernel as an ever-vigilant bulwark bet-
ween the sane, rational operation of this
campus and the chaos purposely per-
petrated by the drug-crazed, deluded
radicals who control FREE U. No longer
will they be able to cast a pail of innocence
over themselves and their activities. Let
the campus awake, to be led by the Kernel
to regions of safety. Amen.

Your health] Can married students get help?

 

By ARVIL (‘. REEB
Question: What help is there for students
with marriage or sexual problems?
Answer: University Health Service
provides help for both of these problems
through the Mental Health Section. (Phone
number 233-5512)
Question: What are the most common
marriage problems in couples you see?
Answer: Without a doubt the
reexamination and changing of sex roles is
a major issue in almost all student
marriages. In the cultural background of
most of us the traditional marital roles
have been that of the husband as provider
and the wife as homemaker.

His role has emphasized independence,
aggression, and dominance. Hers has
demanded dependency, submissiveness,
emotionality. and suppression of assertive
tendencies. While superficially this has
seemed the case, coumelors have long
been aware that behind the scenes many
marriages presenting this “ideal" picture
have functioned quite differently in fact.

Thus, the “passive” woman frequently

emerged as the power behind the throne,

and the dominant forceful husband was
beset by internal doubts and fears of
inadequacy. Both have suffered, but
because the woman is more apt to have
been confined to home and children and
thus denied outside satisfactions, she has
tended to be the first to express unhap-
piness and seek marriage counseling.

Men usually come to counseling with
considerable reluctance. They often seem
“dragged in" by their wives, or come only
to help the counselor treat their “sick”
wives. This male reluctance to be involved
in coumeling relates to cultural ex-
pectations that real men suppress emotion
and handle feelings privately—being the
“strong. silent type.“ When in counseling
the examination of feelings is both en-
couraged and expected men feel em-
barrassed and inadequate to involve
themselves for fear of somehow losing
their masculinity.

Because the therapist’s views on
changing sex roles influence the direction

of therapy I’ll state mine briefly. Change
is difficult for any of us, and change in-
volving basic positions in life is especially
painful. As couples struggle together to
redefine their relationship I look for
several things to occur. First, I hope the
wife can feel a greater degree of genuine
autonomy while not sacrificing her ability
to be emotionally expressive. Along with
this I hope that she can become more
openly assertive and give up whatever
manipulative strategies she may have
developed to control the husband.

For the husband, I hope he will become
more comfortable with experiencing and
sharing inner emotions such as sadness,
doubt, dependency, and loving tender
feelings as well. By redefining his concept
of masculinity to include such human
qualities the man is freed to experience
intimacy and relate meaningfully to his
wife.

As the man becomes better able to give
and receive emotion he begins to meet
such needs in his wife and convinces her
that he is trustworthy. With this increased

closeness and trust each is freed from
demanding unreasonable dependency or
submission and becomes less threatened
by the other‘s accomplishments. Since
each has developed an expanded sense of
self they have more to bring to each other.
The wife’s new independence can be
welcomed as supportive and can help the
man free himself of neurotic pressure for
financial success.

In summary, counseling can help both
husband and wife to take on desirable
characteristics of the other. For the man,
this means an increased openness to the
emotional side of life. For the woman, this
means new confidence in herself as a
person and increased ability to rationally
assert herself.

By MARTHA SHELL
THE new YORK TIMES news ssnvnc:

KANSAS CITY, Mo.——The Yellow-
stone grizzly bears are doomed to ex-
tinction in this century if the present
national park management program
is not halted at once. Such is the fore-
cast of a report presented at park
headquarters by John Craighead. John
and his brother, Frank, are well
known biologists and top authorities
on the bears.

The program, in effect since 1968,
involves crash efforts to remove gar-
bage from the bears’ diet. All of the
park’s isolated garbage dumps where
many grizzlies fed, away from the
public, were closed by 1971, although
garbage has for a century been an
integral part of the ecosystem, the
equivalent to the Yellowstone grizzlies
of the salmon runs to the Alaskan
bears. The “overnight” efforts of the
National Park Service to change tra-
ditional migrational patterns and feed-
ing habits of a sizable grizzly popu-
lation in four or five years have
resulted in the heaviest grizzly mor-
talities in the park’s entire history.

The data acquired for the Craighead
study may well be the first such vital
statistics obtained for a living popu-
lation of large mammals. When pro-
gramed through a computer it was
shown that for nine years prior to the
new N.P.S. program, 1959-1967, a
slowly growing grizzly population in-
habited the five million acres of the
Yellowstone ecosystem. This growth
averaged 1.7 bears per year, enough
to allow the population to maintain
itself. But during four years of re-
vised management, 1968-1971, the
computer pictured a grizzly population
that declined so rapidly as to reach
a critical level where recovery is
doubtful. Furthermore, it showed that
if the program continued it would
very probably exterminate the grizzly
population in twenty to twenty-five
years.

The new program was adopted with
virtually no research of the local prob-
lem by N.P.S. It is based on ques-
tionable assumptions, among them
that a large number of non-garbage-
feeding grizzlies existed in the back—
country. But then N.P.S. “guessti—
mates” population size through
“sightings” of bears by rangers, park
visitors and others. It was naively as-

a page for opinion from inside and outside the university community

sumed that with rapid elimina‘ion of
garbage dumps bears that fed there
would go obediently to remote areas
and live on wild foods. Those that did
not would be dispatched.

But the Craighead data, compiled
since 1959 and made available to
N.P.S., showed that most of the

grizzly population, calculated at 175-
200 bears, had long-established pat-
terns of feeding at garbage dumps
and that very early in the program
when some phase-outs of garbage
were made, grizzly bears began for-
aging in campgrounds near people.
Craighead documentation showed that
when garbage removals were rapidly
increased grizzly campground Visita-
tion accelerated and many grizzlies
dispersed from park garbage dumps
into campgrounds and inhabited areas
adjacent to Yellowstone. The Craig-
head data were amassed through
radiotracking and telemetering move-
ments of bears, censusing and other
scientific techniques. The Craighead
research, which did not agree with the
N.P.S. “success story,” was terminated
abruptly for Yellowstone when the
park’s last garbage dump where 150
grizzlies fed at Trout Creek was closed.

The program has failed in every re-
spect. Conditions in campgrounds are
dangerous. A mauling occurred last
August. Yellowstone recorded its first
grizzly-caused fatality since 1916 and
the third in the park’s history when a
young man was killed by a grizzly
while hiking a short distance from the
main roadway near Old Faithful in
June. The loss to the grizzly popula-
tion by death from all causes amount-
ed to a whopping 91 bears in 1971
and 1972 alone. The death rate is more
than double the birth rate.

Where were the N.P.S. Scientific
Advisory Committee, Bureau of Sport
Fisheries and Wildlife and others in
interior while the largest grizzly popu-
lation within the States was being
rapidly eliminated under a program
of N.P.S? Was the public told what
its money was really buying? No. It
was told the program was a "crashing
success."

The problem has long been recog-
nized as not exclusively Yellowstone
Park's but one for the entire Yellow-
stone ecosystem which includes por-
tions of adjoining forests. Other agen—
cies involved in managing the bears

Yellowstone's grizzlies face extinction

must consider the problems along with
those in Interior.

But there is not the slightest time
for more of the bungling, footdrag-
ging and toying with the facts which
have contrived to continue an inept
and degrading grizzly management
program to the point that there may
be no way back for the bears.

City traffic planning needs citizen voice

By JOE GRAVES

I believe the traffic problems in
Lexington will grow worse unless the
method used to plan traffic improvements
is restructured to involve more citizens
and elected officials in the early stages of
policy making and planning.

The Highway Department and local
planning staff devote countless hours and
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
produce elaborate street improvement
and road plans which often draw deter-
mined opposition from affected property
owners, neighborhood associations, and
elected officials.

How can this community implement
solutions to its traffic and transportation
problems - solutions which a substantial
majority of neighborhood residents will
support?

We need to restructure the way we plan
highway and street improvements. Unless
we do, we will continue to have public
hearings which often become adversary
proceedings that pit most of the audience
against the highway officials. Some
disagreement is normal, but we must

develop a successful way to obtain citizen
participation and support in every stage of
the policy making and planning process.

I recommend the creation of a Citizens
Transportation and Traffic Task Force
charged with the responsibility of
preparing a new decision making system
to guide the planning of all traffic and
transportation improvements in this
community.

The new decision making system must
involve more elected officials, citizens,
and interested groups as decisions are
made about traffic solutions, and tran-
sportation opportunities; decisions like -
what per cent of funds available for traffic
and transportation should be allocated to
new roads, to mass transit, to ex-
pressways, to street improvements; the
location of new roads and expressways,
etc.

The Task Force should have a broadly
based membership with adequate staff
and funds. it should seek the opinions and
suggestions of citizens in all neigh—
borhoods, study other cities. consider the
views of planners. experts and elected

officials as it prepares proposals for a new
decision making system to guide traffic
and transportation planning. The system
could be adopted by the new Urban Council
or offered as an amendment to the Urban
charter in 1974.

x The new decision making system might
provide for:

1. The creation of a Department of
Transportation in city government which
would contain all governmental functions
relating to traffic and all means of tran-
sportation.

2. The creation of a permanent Tran-
sportation and Traffic Advisory Com-
mission composed of the Mayor, Urban
Council members, state senators and
representatives and citizens selected at
large from each council district.

3. The Advisory Commission would
serve as a clearing house and sounding
board to blend and coordinate the policies
and plans of the mass transitauthority. the
Highway Department, and other groups
responsible for any traffic and tran-
sportation planning.

4. Regular monthly public meetings of
the Commission would be held at night in
the neighborhoods of different council
districts. Participation by interested
organizations and individuals would be
vigorously sought.

This restructured approach which
mobilizes elected officials, interested
citizens, advisory groups, neighborhood
organizations and employees of the ap-
propriate federal, state, and local agencies
in each step of the planning process will
produce ingenious, effective and less
destructive traffic and transportation
solutions.

These solutions can be implemented
because they will have been worked out
with the active participation and support
of the citizens of Lexington.’

Free University opts
to accept 86 funds

In a meeting Monday night the
Free University made the
unanimous decision to accept
funds from the Student Govern-
ment contingency fund to begin
its fall program.

The $150 will be taken from the
student government presidential
contingency fund and will be
replaced by the Student Senate at
a later date.

“IF we: DON‘T accept the
money from Student Government
at least this semester, we are
killing ourselves," said Ed Riley,
a member of the Free U coor-
dinating body.

The Free University had
already accumulated about $118
through donations and selling T
shirts before the offer from the
Student Senate was made.

“WHEN 1 FIRST heard about
the Saturday decision—
informally, mind you—it looked
like we were being handed a deal.
It looked like Jim Flegle acted
behind the Senate’s back, and we
didn't want to alienate the
Senate. People of the coor-
dinating body talked it over, and

six, at least, agreed," said Mark
Manning, Free U coordinator.

“But now we know that it was a
request from the senators
themselves, I guess Jim should
have told Bev Cubbage and me
himself, but it all came out
0.K.," he continued.

“THE STUDENT SENATE
said they wanted to see a list of
the courses we are offering this
fall and a description of those
courses. They know what we are
and what our philosophy is,"
Manning said. “We consider it
prior censorship when they ask
for this and we will never agree to
that."

The Student Senate did not
renew their request to see the list
of the courses before approving
the funding.

Deputies arrest

pot farmers

WINFIELD, W.Va. (AP) —
Sheriff ’5 deputies, acting on a tip
from a squirrel hunter, have
harvested a cultivated field of
marijuana and four alleged pot
farmers.

Putnam County Deputy Sheriff
Dennis Edwards said the four
were arrested when they came to
the isolated marijuana plot about
five miles from here Sunday.

At the time, deputies were
chopping down about 500 plants,
some of which were 10 feet high,
Edwards said. The plants were
healthy, well cultivated and
apparently had been growing
most of the summer, he said.
Police estimated the market
value of the harvest at $30,000.

how cultural events are received,
your campus is in trouble.” The
small graying man, who looks a
good ten years younger than his
44 years, shook his head and
looked around the room again.

“I’m supposed to speak here to
an architectural gathering next
week and I am seriously con-
sidering cancelling.”

He expressed his dismay at the
lack of faculty turnout. “I am not
so concerned about the student
showing, but I did expect that

there would be more people from
the art department or from the
architecture department.”

“But this...,” his gesture in-
cluded the room’s 25 occupants,
most of whom were conversing
with each other, “...this is
frightening.”

[ The Arts

One look at his paintings
showed that he could justifiably
be concerned by the lack of in-
terest in what he had to say.

For Robert Slutzky, through his
paintings as in his conversation,
had a lot to say. Each work, taken
solely on its own merit, begins to
come alive.

The paintings move - then
speak. What the artist has put
into the work and what the viewer
derives may be two separate

 

 

emotions, but each painting
evokes a unique response. The
viewer is included in the intimate
dialogue between color and
drawing.

His earliest paintings were
done in oils, but acrylic far
better suits his style. His six
acrylics were done in muted
complimentary colors rather
than in the three primary ones.
They required far more thought
as to color, shape and drawing
combinations.

No. 19 “6 + Grey” seemed
almost to breathe. Lavender,
orange, mauve, pale blue, pale
olive green and a grey-green
combination danced around
shapes of muted pure grey in an
acrylic arabesque. It was
pleasing to the eye and to the
mind. 7

paintings. They will be at the
Fine Arts Gallery through

New York Phil concert draws
crowd of l0,000 to Coliseum

It was certainly inspiring to see
that Lexington and U.K. could
drum up about 10,000 people for a
concert of classical music. Of
course. that task was made
easier because the people making
the music were the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra, one of
the best symphony orchestras in
the world.

AND PERFORM like big time
they did. Under the direction of
Frenchman Pierre Boulez, the
Philharmonic began the concert
with Beethoven‘s Symphony No.
2, in four movements. It was
slightly unusual in that Mr.
Boulez directed the orchestra so
that it sounded similar to a
recording of Leonard Bernstein

and the Philharmonic doing the
same piece. Conductors sup-
posedly vary as to how they want
something performed but Bern-
stein and Boulez sounded alike,
which was nothing to complain
about.

The Philharmonic next per-
formed a piece composed by
Leon Kirchner entitled “Music
for Orchestra” which was
commissioned by the Philhar-
monic in 1969. The very unusual
composition followed no set
patterns and used just about
every conceivable instrument an
orchestra has contemplated
using in the past.

After an intermission, “Till
Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks,
after Old-Time Roguish Fashion,
in Rondeau Form", Opus 28 by

Richard Struass was performed.
This merry piece about a 16th
century clownish rogue delighted
the audience with its fast moving
score.

THE CONCERT ended with
Claude Debussy’s “La Mer”
which consisted of three sym-
phonic sketches about the sea.

One could go on using all the
adjectives in the d
