Drop-add
problems

persist

dufing

first week

ALTHOUGH LINES WERE much
shorter than Tuesday's centralized drop-
add in Memorial Coliseum, students found
the same variety of problems when action
resumed in Buell Armory.

Voicing a need for a little more in-
formation to assist the many people who
had problems, Pat Harris, an attendant at
the Philosophy table, said, “A lot of people
want to know where to go for different
problems,”

Harris added she thought more detailed
information beforehand, plus in-
formation tables at the drop-add sites,
would be helpful.

FRESHMAN LINDA FREEMAN and
Jorga Williams, a sophomore, both en-
countered trouble with full classes.

“They should have more Tuesday and
Thursday classes open," Williams said.
“All of. the open ones are on Monday and
Wednesdays."

Sophomore David Nolan found he had to
go to different buildings to drop classes.
“They should put out different booklets
with information on which drops are
where," said Nolan, who was picking up
classes from different colleges.

Continuing
Education
offers help
to returning

women

Women who have had their
educations interrupted, but
would now like to return to the
University may receive the help
they need from the Office of
Continuing Education for
Women.

The Office provides help for
women 25 years or older who are
having difficulties with the
faculty, courses and other related
problems. The staff also advises
women on courses to take and
help point out career op-
portunities.

THE OFFICE offers programs
such as the three-day workshop
called “College Challenge for
Modern Women". This program
is designed to encourage women
to be involved in higher education
and to pursue careers outside the

home. This was held last year
and is expected to be held again
this fall.

Another program sponsored by
the Office is called “Employment
Trends”. lt informs women of
career opportunities in this
specific locality and outlines the
careers and types of jobs open to
women.

A third workshop,
Cultural Relations, has
previously included such
programs as “The Problems of
Pluralism at the University of
Kentucky" and “The Con-
temporary Role of Black
Women". The program, held last
spring, will also be held this fall.

THE OFFICE HAS scheduled a
book review series which will
begin on September 25. Kurt

Cross

Vonnegut's Breakfast of
i(‘hampions is to be reviewed that
day at 3 pm. by Doctor David
Butler in the Faculty Club
Lounge.

Also planned is the preparation
of a room in the Alumni Gym to
be called the University Com-
munity‘s Women's Resource
Room. Its primary function will
be to present information about
the college campus for com-
munity women who wish to
continue their education. It will
also contain information on
careers and college degrees.

Although the primary function
of the program is helping women
in choosing courses and careers.
Sharon Childs. the director of the
office. says she hopes it will be a
place for women to socialize.

Scandalneeds

identity tag

American schoolchildren are not only taught
history but the famous quotes which make key
events a part of our heritage.

If we are to preserve Watergate and its glory
for future generations it would seem imperative
that we latch onto a quote or two which would
serve to trigger these staggering events in our
minds and symbolize these troubled times.

Just for starters, we can look back in time to get
a few ideas.

For instance, the Statue of Liberty plaque might
read: “Give me your tapes, your files, your
huddled yesmen yearning to spread your name,
the wretched refuse of your teeming scandal. Send
these, the tapes, tempest-tost to me. I lift my lamp
beside the Caucus Room door.”

Perhaps a short, snappy line would be in order,
like Patrick Henry’s “Give me the tapes, or give
me death."

King David’s 23rd Psalm might sum up the
situation: N“Nixon is my sheperd, I shall not
testify. He maketh me clam up for clemency
sake.” ,

Or 01‘ Abe Lincoln:

“Four years and seven months ago, our voters
brought forth on this continent a new ad—
ministration conceived in paranoia and dedicated
to the proposition that all phones are created for
bugging.”

Try a bit from Gen. George Patton:

“One thing for which you will always be proud.
Thirty years from now, when you’re sitting by the
fire with your grandson on your knee, and he asks
“What did you do in the Great Nixon Years, you

won’t have to say‘...well I burgled offices at the '

)H

Watergate .
Or Admiral Oliver Perry:
“We have met the enemy, and he is Nixon.”
Perhaps a dose of Ceaser:
“We came,we sabotaged, we covered up.”
And who could forget Teddy Roosevelt’s
trademark:

“Walk softly, and carry a crooked staff.”

John Paul Jones:

“I have not yet begun to make one thing per-
fectly clear.”

Will Rogers:

“1 never met a phone I couldn’t tap.”
Another Lincoln, maybe:

“You can pack all of the Court some of the time,
tap some of the phones all of the time, but you
can’tfool all the American people all of the time.”

It would seem fitting to assign President Nixon
the task of dreaming up a suitable Watergate
cliche. After all the excuses he has made for his
actions and those of his staff throughout this af-
fair, it would seem Nixon’s is the most fertile

Did porno give birth to oldest profession?

By Elanor Jackson Piel
The New Yert Times News Souk.

Who is the average person”

The US. Supreme Court. in its re-
cent rulings on pornography. has com“
missioncd that person to decide for
the rest of us that a work (a) "taken

as a whole appeals to the prurient in-
(b) “in a patently offensive

terest," ‘ .
wav" and (c) “lacks serious literary
artistic. political or scientific \alue.

Susan Brownmiller (Op-Ed page. Aug.
6) applauds the decision.

While approval of abortion and les-
bianism goes along with women s new
freedom. pornography is nasty because

it is enjoyed mainly by men who de-
grade the female as a sex object in
their pleasure. And the premise con-
tinues. This depraved enjoyment leads
next to prostitution.

Was it pornography that led to the
deyelopment of the world‘s oldest pro—
fession'.’

Before we take the pornographer to
court to advance the cause of women's
liberation—or for any other worthy
purpose—we had better identify that
“ayerage person" who is to sit at the
elbow of justice. Are we looking, to
start with, for a “he" or for a “she"?
Does he or she li\e in a small town or

a big city; on the East or on the West
Coast, in the secure Middle West or
on the wintery frontier of Alaska? Is
he 20 or is she 80? May Hugh Hefner
publish Playbay from Chicago, where
Mr. or Vls. Average finds no objection,
and sell it in Indianapolis where Ms, or
Mr. Ayerzige may tomorrow say it is
porn? lf 300,000 New Yorkers pay
their $5 to see “Deep Throat." can we
be sure there is not among them the
average person who will hold that
this movie comes within “acceptable
community standards?” Or did all of
the 300,000 offend those standards?

In American society. l)r. Alfred Kin-

sey found quite different sexual mores
prevailing in different ethnic, educa-
tional and income groups. Lower-in-
come citizens had in general a less
inhibited experience of sex; they rep-
resent a correspondingly less promis-

ing market for the vendors of pornog-
raphy.

By any estimate, segregation a ‘bad scene'

By MARY E. MEBANE (LIZA)

ORANGEBURG, S. C.—Only people
who never lived under segregation
would want its return. Either they are
too young—born since 1950—or they
are from another region of the country
where segregation was not written
into legal statutes or where it mani-
fested itself in a somewhat milder
form. For segregation in the Middle
and Deep South was, by anybody’s
estimate, by any standard, under all
circumstances—a bad scene.

In the early nineteen-seventies, al-
though legal segregation has been out-
lawed, it is easy to see the vestiges of
it and to realize the complete hold it
had on the lives of the people living in
the American South. For it affected
everyone in every facet of life.

In Durham, N. C., there was a res-
taurant owned by Greeks that catered
to blacks. It served steaming, spicy
foods to tobacco factory workers. This
restaurant was unique in a Southern
town in that it cooked and served
traditional Southern foods—pig’s feet,
neckbones, pinto beans, black-eyed
peas—with exotic oils and spices.

The food was delicious, but the
surroundings were dismal. There were
long bare plank tables that stretched
the width of the room. Their only
decoration were the shakers in which
salt and black pepper were mixed. The
linoleum on the floor was rubbed
clean of color and design. It was
thronged with black workers at noon
and at the changing of the shifts.

Once the Civil Rights Act of 1964
was passed, however, and the tobacco
workers had a choice, many of them
started seeking more pleasant sur-
roundings. The restaurant then under-
went a complete renovation. Out went
the old bare tables and benches. In
came new pastel colored booths. In
place of the bar floor and worn lino-
leum came bright clean tile. Walls were
painted and softer lighting installed.

Food was no longer enough; atmos-
phere counted too—as the owners
discovered—once the patrons, hard-
working, hearty-eating black factory
hands, had a choice as to where to
spend their money.

Segregation affected the ease with
in the world.
It was designed to put blacks at a
decided disadvantage in their dealings

which blacks moved

with whites.

He was sorry that it had happened,
it would never happen again and he
was glad that I had called it to his
attention for they had no way of
things unless

knowing about such
people complained.

The speaker was a suave graying
officer of one of Orangeburg’s largest
banks and the time was late 1972.
He was apologizing for the fact that
one of his tellers persisted in calling
black women by their first names.

The practice was calculated to
reinforce constantly status differences
between black and white in even the
most ordinary of daily transactions.
The catalyst for change had been
black women themselves who had pro-
tested the practice in various ways,
ranging from angry words with clerks
to letter writing to top executives. By
1973 the practice was considerably
eroded, but vestiges of it remained in
pockets grimly determined not to be
touched by some of the major currents
of the nineteen-sixties.

The greatest harm that segregation
did to the blacks involved intraperson-
al relationships. For during segrega—
tion’s reign, there seemed to be an un-
derstanding that there were only a few
places at the top in a segregated
system and each black seemed to feel
that if he helped his brother in the
slightest way that his black brother
might succeed; he must not be per-
mitted to succeed and, consequently,
he must do everything in his power
to keep him from succeeding. There
was little spirit of cooperation, but
rather one of desperate competitive-
ness against each other for the few
crumbs that fell from white America's
table. This was particularly true
among the college-educated classes.

Such a fratricidal stance seems for-
eign to the mentality of present day
blacks, those born after 1945. For the
end of the war seems to have marked
a turning point in the way they saw

 

themselves and, consequentily, in the
way they looked at other blacks, the
mirror images of themselves. The dif-
ference is greater than one of degree;
it is a difference in kind. They were
children during the Montgomery bus
boycott; they were in their early teens
when the civil rights struggle of the
sixties began; and they were in young
adulthood when the black power
movement swept across black Amer-
ica. Rather than engage in struggle

exclusively with each other. they have
witnessed and participated in an out-
ward struggle. They are as a rule
nicer to each other. They are much

less destructive, and will do each
other favors faster.

Former ‘status symbol' now an outrage

By INA and
MORTON H. HALPERIN

WASHINGTON—Here in the na-
tion’s capital, having your phone
tapped is a status symbol. Thus in
1969, when we began to tell friends
in Washington that we suspected the
FBI. had a bug on our phone they
thought we were bragging. As the
signs increased—phones often out of
order, phone company trucks frequent-
ly on our dead-end street—we began
telling out-of—town friends who called
that the Government was listening in.
They thought we were paranoid; now
they are contacting us to apologize
and to concede that what looks like
paranoia, at least in Washington, often
turns out to be well-founded suspicion.

We learned through a fluke. Daniel
Ellsberg used the phone and was over-
heard. This fact reported to Judge
Byrne in Los Angeles contributed to
the abrupt ending of the Pentagon
papers trial. But for us the trials have
just begun.

As we write, we hear on our TV
set discussion of “wire men" at the
Watergate hearings which prompted
us to glance from time to time at our
[.hone. We try to recall what was said
on it during the eight or fourteen or
twenty-two months beginning in May
of 1969 when others were listening in.
Nothing was heard, Henry Kissinger
has said, which raised any doubts

 

 

about loyalty or discretion. Our own
knowledge plus leaks from the Justice
Department confirm this. But still
the tap was put on and kept on for
many months and, it appears, Colonel
(now General) Haig prepared sum-
maries for Kissinger and John Ehrlich-
man to read.

What was it that they read? Did the
summaries include the conversations
of our sons, then aged 3, 5 and 7, talk~
ing to their friends? The anxious calls
to New York about their grand-
mother’s surgery? The weekly calls to
the butcher? The occasional series of
calls in search of a babysitter?

More significantiy, did F.B.I. or
White House officials read summaries
of the obscene calls often in the dead
of night, which we were receiving at
the same time, or the anxious calls
to the phone company and police
pleading to have the mysterious caller
traced? (We wonder now—or are we
becoming paranoid—whether the curi-
ous fact that the calls never came
when the phone company said it had
a tracer on the phone was connected
somehow with the FBI. taps.)

What else did the summaries con-
tain? If there Was no classified infor-
mation, then surely there was amidst
the everyday conversations and goss
sip, our political views stated frankly
and privately to close friends.

We now know that this tap was not
an isolated event. Seventeen other
Government officials and newspaper-
men were also tapped. The White
House “plumbers" and intelligence
committee described by President Nix-
ori engaged in at least one burglary
and may well have conducted their
own wiretap operations. The unwilling-
ness of the Congress and the courts
to allow the President to hide behind
“national security" to protect and
justify unconstitutional acts is heart-
ening.

Recentiy, we took our three sons.
David. Mark and Gary. for a walk
along the freedom Trail in Boston.
We talked about the precious liberties
which the patriots of the American
Revolution forged in those historic
meeting rooms. Those leaders under—
stood that genuine national defense
could only be based on a respect by
the Government for the rights of the
people and on a respect by all the
people—Government officials and pri-
vatc citizens alike—for the law. Hope-
fully we are now rt-learniiig that lesson.

We are outraged because not only
were our Words intercepted but also
those of the many people who spoke
to us on the phone. Most of them
have no connection with the Govern—
ment or access to national security
information. They too ha\c cause to
ice! outraged.

\Ve are bewildered when we read
claims that this intrusion into our
privacy is legal. The l’nited States
Constitution itself is qune explicit.

The Fourth Amendment says that “the
right of the people to be secure in
their persons, houses. papers. and ef-
i‘ects against unreasonable searches
and seizures shall not be violated."
The Government must convince a court
that it has probable cause to believe
a crime has been committed before
a warrant authorizing a wiretap can
be issued. No such warrant was issued
before our privacy was invaded.

The claim of the executive branch
that it had the right to engage in
electronic surveillance simply by iii-
\oking the magic words “national se-
curity” has never been sustained by
the courts or the Congress. The Su-
prcinc Court, when it addressed this
issue for the first time in 197l. ruled
.\‘ to 0 that the Constitution did not
permit the Gou-rnment to tap the
phones of American citizens without
a court order. regardless of any claim
of national security.

The phone in the Maryland
home of Ina and Morton H.
Halperin was bugged when
Mr. Halperin was on the staff
of the National Security
Council in 1969.

9’95:

By CHRISTINE DOUGHTY
Associated Press Writer

One Kentucky newspaper is
bargaining for paper for its next
edition while others have dropped
standing features such as
television listings and a Saturday
editorial page as a result of the
growing shortage of newsprint.

Even publishers who report a
fairly good supply of the paper
say they’re taking precautionary
measures to tighten news pages
in case the situation gets worse.

BASICALLY. the problem boils
down to a substantial increase in
US. demand this year coupled
with shipping and production
delays due to the Canadian
railroad and paper mill strikes.
About 65 per cent of the newsprint
in the US. comes from Canada.

Especially hard-pressed are
the small community
publications — abundant in
Kentucky — who don’t buy in
volume and don’t have binding

contracts with mill operations.
A Louisville weekly, The Voice-

Jeffersonian, is one of them.
Publisher Bruce Van Dusen
described his situation as
“perilous” in an interview
Thursday. He said he had no
newsprint on hand for next
week’s paper and was trying to
borrow 20 rolls from other state
publications.

VAN DUSEN SAID his order
from a Canadian firm, Abitibi,
Ltd. is stalled on a railroad track
and a shipment from Bowater,
Inc., in Calhoun, Tenn., has not
arrived.

Ben Pelton, regional Bowater
salesman in Kentucky and
Tennessee, said the company’s
two US. mills are operating 24
hours a day but still can’t keep up
with the increasing demand,
resulting in a delay for some
shipments.

Two other Bowater plants
located in Canada continue
production but can‘t reach us.
customers because of the strike,
Pelton said. He added that first
priority is being given to con-
tracted customers.

STORAGE IS ALSO a problem
for the smaller operation
publication, Pelton said. Larger
newspapers have warehouses to
hold stockpiled supplies while
small firms depend on the
prompt arrival of each shipment.

The Frankfort State Journal. a
daily publication, receives all its
newsprint from Canadian mills
and publisher Albert Dix said
he’s “very pessimistic" about
what the future holds.

Dix said he has enough paper
for the next 30 days but reported
that half of his September
shipment has been canceled. He
hopes to continue publication
through December and after
that, he says, “I’m crossing my
fingers and praying.”

“I don't even ask how much
anymore,” said Dix. “I just ask
how much I can get. So far I
haven’t gotten any."

THE AVERAGE PRICE per
ton for newsprint is $175 but Dix
said he can’t find any mill willing
to accept even $200.

To cut consumption, the State
Journal has eliminated television
listings and starting Sunday, the
page opposite editorials will be
suspended. Further cutbacks are
under consideration.

In addition, Dix said he's had to
cancel two state contracts for
printing jobs and turned down
two other large orders.

He said he’s called every mill
in the country for more newsprint
and “the salesmen don’t even
laugh anymore, they just get
angry you even bothered to call."

CLEANER-JOURNAL reports
that it is stocked up on newsprint
but is taking precautionary
measures anyway since delivery
has been late. Two of its three
suppliers are Canadian based.

Production manager Bob
Groves said the Gleaner
eliminated the Saturday editorial
page about a month ago and has
generally streamlined the paper,
taking out secondary news and
reducing the size of pictures.

Paper shortage forces
newspaper cutbacks

Groves said he expects the
situation to get worse before it
gets better, especially for large
publications who use more paper
and need constant deliveries.

BUT THE STATES two largest
newspapers, The Courier-Journal
and The Louisville Times, have
reported they are not seriously
threatened by the shortage of
newsprint. The Courier-Joumal
and Times Co. has nine newsprint
suppliers and a three-week
supply on hand, according to
John Richards, vice president
and general manager.

Most Kentucky college and
university publications face no
immediate crisis since they’re
protected by contractual
agreements. Spokesmen at the
University of Kentucky,
Morehead State University and
Western Kentucky University
say their printing firms have
guaranteed enough newsprint for
the school year.

In fact, Western’s College
Heights Herald came out with the
largest issue in its history earlier
this week a 40-page freshman
orientation special.

M U R R A Y S 'I‘ A T E
UNIVERSITY. which prints its
newspaper on campus, ac-
cumulated enough newsprint last
spring to carry it through the
year when officials heard there
might be a shortage.

None of the universities sur-
veyed planned to cut any editions
or tighten news pages.

Newspapers, Inc. of
Shelbyville, which prints
newspapers for 62 weeklies in-
cluding the UK Kentucky Kernel.
receives the bulk of its newsprint
under a contract with Bowater.
William Matthews, president,
said the company is in better
shape than most but still plans to
advise customers to trim pages if
the strike continues.

BESIDES CUTTING the size of
the newspapers themselves, the
publishers surveyed said they
also would reduce costs by
discontinuing circulation outside
their immediate areas.
