To help provide an outlet for black
Southern writers, UKishelping fund
Callaloo, a black literary journal.

Callaloo is the result of “con-
fronting the stark reality that there
was no outlet for black Southern
writers,” said Charles H. Rowell,
editor- in-chief of the journal and an
associate professor of English at
UK. He said the problems of black
writers are being solved through
funding by several groups and in-
dividuals.

The journal is being financed by
$3,000from the UK Office of the Vice
President of Acadenic Affairs,a
$1, 030 grant from the Coordinating
Council of Literary Magazines,
contributions from Afro-American
Studies programs at Pennsylvania
and Howard universities, and the
UK English department.

Rowell said the idea of the journal
started when Jerry Ward, associate
professor of English at Tougaloo
College in Mississippi; Tom Dent a
freelance writer in New Orleans;
and himself decided many Southern
black write1s were being denied
creative and critical outlets by
literary journals.

“It seems as though Northern
publishers assumed that there were
no black writers in the South, and
those black write1s who did attempt
to be published were excluded,”
Rowell said.

Thepurposeofthejournalisto
focus on the black Southern writer,
especially beginners, who have
never had an outlet before. But it is
11a strictly a regional journal,
Rowell said. Manuscripts from
black writers throughout the world
are accepted.

“We are trying to do something
about the denial of black writers,”
he said, “and when other publishers’
attitudes change to integration, then
anyone can get into this journal."

Rowell sees the journal as both
literary and cultural. This variety of
content is the basis of the journal’s
name; Callaloo is a stew-like dish
found throughout black culture. “So
many things go into the making of it,
just like the journal,” said Rowell.

“When we first throught of the
idea, we assumed that we would be
able to finance it ourselves. But
when we learned of the costs of
printing, we began asking for
contributions from individuals, ” he
said.

The first volume of Callaloo was
published in December, 1976, while
Rowell was teaching at Southern
University in Baton Rouge La. It
contained manuscripts solicited
from major black writers, as well as
some from beginners. Rowell thinks
the journal was well received in
literary circles. It 13 the only one of
its type in the South, and according
to Rowell, has an international
subscription list.

Few Kentuckians have forgotten

Following complaints

Police remove 22
cars from Clifton

By NANCY GWlNN
Kernel Reporter

Early Tuesday afternoon, five tow
trucks pulled away more than 20
cars parked along Clifton Avenue, as
Metro Police cracked down on
illegal parking on the street.

Twenty-two cars were impounded
on Tuesday, according to Lexington
Metro Police officer Don Elam, and

six more were towed the following
day. There were 42 citations issued
on Tuesday for numerous violations
and 35 more on Wednesday. Clifton
Avenue, a circular street, runs
beside the Rose Street Parking
Structure.

Elam said the citations were
distributed became of complaints
received from the mayor’s office
and residents in the area. Metro
Police Capt. Raymond Floyd said
there had been many violations in
the past and previous warnings had
been issued, but the complaints
continued.

“I had two pmple blocking my
driveway yesterday," said one UK
student who livu on Clifton and
asked not to be identified, "and i
was glad to see the police." He said

Givens was the high- point man for
the victors, pumping in 15 points for
the afternoon. University of
Louisville’s Darrell Griffith added
14 points in just 12 minutes of
playing time.

“We had a lot of fun,” said Indiana
State’s Larry Bird, who grabbed
seven rebounds for his cause.
“You’ve gotta have fun or the whole
thing’s not worth it."

It was easy to have fun, though, if

you were a member of the USA.

“These are most of the best
players in the country,” UCLA’s
David Greenwood said. “They’ re
va‘y talented guys, very adept at
passing, but you have to keep your
eyes open all the time. They might
surprise you.”

Mich'gan State’s Earvin “Magic”
Johnson and Bird did most of the
surprising, as the crowd at Rupp
Arena was treated to one big play
after another.

Johnson found Lee under the
basket with a onehanded hook pass
for one such play. Lee scored and
added a free throw for a three-point

effort.

Johnson agreed that the pass was
one of his better tries of the day.
“That pass and Jack’s dimk, ” he
said as he slappal the hand of the
smiling Givens.

TheU. S. A. squad jumped out to an
early lead and was never challenged
for the advantage.

Arkansas’ Sidney Moncrief
powered the All-Stars in the first
half, scoring eight points“ in the first
nine minutes of the contest.
Greenwood and Griffith picked up
the slack when the reserves came in,
propelling the US. to a 55-40 half-
time lead.

After interrnission, the US. stars

picked up the first nine points of the
paiod to' 1ce the game. And once the
players knew the win was secure,
the daring, wild plays came.

Lee bested Russia’s 7-foot-4 center
Vladimir Tkacheiko on a jump ball
tip, and Bird immediately followed
with a beh'nd- the-back pass to
Moncrief, who sank a layip and
added a foul shot.

“It was really something for me to
get the tip, ” Lee said. “There was a
little pride involved”

Later, Griffith headed a fast break

He whipped the ball behind his back

The second volume of Callaloo is
to be published by University Press
on April 10. The third issue, to come
out in May, will be dedicated to
Ernest Gaines, author of The
Autobiography of Miss Jane Pitt-
man.

“it will be a special 1ssue became
a photograph taken by Gaines will
be on the cove,’ Rowell said.
Gaines, who has never before
published any of his photography,
calls it “Miss Jane Pittrnan’ s Tree.”

Other issues, scheduled to be
published in July and November,
deal with women and black African
writers, respectively.

Helping Rowell on the journal are

that Tuesday had been the biggest
operation he had seen.

Another residmt said he didn't see
parking violators towed from the
street very often. He added that
vehicles parked along the side of the
street sometimes get swideswiped
by passing cars.

A handful of residents stood in the
yard of the Alpha Tau Omega
fraternity house Tuesday aftemoon,
watching the towing project and
expressing their sentiments. One
member of the group said a few cars
were damaged when tow truck
operators broke into the cars to put
them into neutral gear for towing.

A towing contractor not used by
Metro Police said the procedure was
probably unnecessary.

“I was screaming when I came
back,“ said UK junior Nancy
Loomis, who lives in the area and
had her car towed from Clifton on
Tuesday. She said the car was
parked two-and-a-half inches into
the yellow curb. She added that it
cost he :14 to recover her car with
an additional $5 ticket.

Wednesday afternoon at 1 pm,
after police and tow trucks had come

56 Election time

As a UK student, are you interested in:

/ Attending official meetings where you and
fellow students discuss important topics?

/ Suggesting ways to improve the University,
and trying to get them carried out?

/Having an office with letterhead stationery
and a secretary to take messages for you?

/ Deciding how to allocate funds to different
services and organizations?

If you can answer “yes” to any of the above,
you have potential to be a modern campus ac-
tivist—and a student senator in student govem-
merit.

It’s true. Forget stuff like picket signs,
Molotov cocktails, “off the pigs” and exotic
socialist ideologies. Those things were consigned
long ago to the past, or maybe to honors
studarts.

The only real activism on today’s college
campuses, including UK, is the continuing effort
to improve services, influence administration
policies, and convey the grievances of others to
officials. We might as well say it: “Work Within
The System.”

The selection of UK’s modern activists — the
Student Government —— will be done next week,
in the annual SG elections. But the deadline for
registering as a candidate is this Wednesday.

Like the United Way, blood drives and the Big
Brothers, SC is an organization that depends on
volunteer work. But the interest in SG activities
has been at a low level for several years.

Only 2,000 studeits voted in last year’s SG
elections, and the number of real votes was
probably smaller, considering the recent
allegations of stuffed ballot boxes. But it’s
doubtful anybody stuffed the boxes for College of
Architecture winner J .T. Skinner (11 votes), or
for Dentistry victor Dave Koeling (4 votes). Not
much of a mandate for either candidate.

Because of the voting scandals, efforts are
being made to insure that this year’s election will
be honest. SG officials say they’ve tried to chose
Election Board members and poll workers who
are totally nonpartisan.

So if you’re interested in working in SG, throw
your hat in the ring this week. Although the
meetings are sometimes too long and the
discussion is occasionally trivial, the
organization is the official voice of all UK
students. And when a policy is questionable or
unfair (like the time limit for dropping classes
this year), SC is the student body’s best line of
defense.

It’s serious

A few learned college professors
have made the startling realization
that today’s A was yesterday’s B
and tomorrow’s who knows what?
Students aren’t getting smarter,
they say. Teaches are getting lazier
and accepting lesser work for higher
grades.

Enough articles have been written
on the subject to line a thousand bird
cages and train dozens of puppies
(the probable fate of this column,
too).

To the authors of these malicious
diatribes, I have but one question:

What have you got against my
mother?

Here she is, a sweet little gray—
haired lady, 89 years old, who sits
hone darning my socks, thinking
her son has changed his ways, that
he is no longer a shiftless burn, that
he’s finally bearing down in school
and bringing home a solid B
average.

Are you trying to break her heart?
That's my job, not yours.

Now you're trying to tell her that
I’m still a shiftless burn who's taking
advantage of inflated grades. Well I
think that’s just downright cruel,
inhuman and, uh...

Well, actually...uh...okay, okay,
she’s rid as (closer to 50). My
mother isn’t a fragile, gray-haired
old lady. Actually, she’s the spunky
daighter of an Irish prison guard.
More than once, she has looked me
square in the eye and said, "You’re
never too big to hi .”

And the last time I asked her to
darn a sock, she mumbled
something about a knitting needle
and the sun never shining — I didn’t
stay around to hear it all.

But she is vitally interested in my

More honors

Like most of the students in the
Honors program, the news of
director Robert Evans’ resignation
leaves me shocked and confused. I
feel that in recommending Dr.
Evans’ dismissal, the University
Honors Program Review Committee
has served the Honors program its
death warrant.

It is common knowledge that Dr.
Evans is the cornerstone of a
program that has attained high
national ranking and that once
served as the model program for
other universities. His removal from
the directorship seriously jeopar-
dizes the structure of a currently
excellent program. With him gone, I
fear no other direction is possible for

the Honors program but down. . , ,

' Dean John Stephenson jmtifies
the committee’s recommendation
by stating that “It‘s normal pattern,
with exceptions, for departments to
have rotating administrative
heads.” Well, John, how blatant
must the exception by before you
will take advantage of it? Dr. Evans
is president of the National Honors
Council. I should think that this
proves the man is exceptional.
' ly the directors of Honors
ationwide think so. To
deprive t Honors program
students of his e cellent leadership
because “It’s normal pattern”
convinces me tat some ad-
ministrators can’t s ‘ the forest for
the trees. \*

Just because it 's
departments to rotate c
does not dictate that it is imper-
Dr. Evans is an invaluable asset, no
only to the Honors program, but in
any realm of education. Anybody
who doubts this is a blind fool. Dr.
Evans has academically edified his
students more than this university’s
imbroglio of an administration could
ever hope to.

Personally, I’m bewildered by any
reasons why administrators like
Dean of Undergraduate Studies
John Stephenson, Academic Affairs
Vice-president Lewis Cochran or
Honors Program Review Committee
Chairman Donald Sands feel it
necessary to intentionally disrupt
such a well-known, highly regarded
department like the UK Honors
program.

Quite frankly, gentlemen, the
whole confounded mess reeks of
dirty politics. If this be the un-
fortunate case, I suggest your heads
be reviewed.

...and still more

A point to ponder. Should Joe Hall
be dismissed as UK basketball
coach became he has perfected a
system that develops superior
athletes? Should change be made in
Hall's program because the results
of his present system are somewhat
predictable due to consistently
excellent standards?

Certainly not. I doubt the ad-
ministration would consider such
ludicrous action.

By the same token, why would the
administration want to dismiss one
of the nation’s top educators, and

then rearrange an exemplary
scholastic program built by this
man?

Such is the case with the Honors
program, and the review com-
mittee’s recommendation to dismiss
him. To the same degree Joe Hall
provides athletic excellence at UK,
so has Dr. Robert Evans fashioned
an academic [rogram of national
repute. Evans, the immediate past
president of the National Collegiate
Honors Council (not an unesteemed
position), has an incalculable in.
fluence on strengthening the
academic tradition at UK.

Consequently, why should the
administration wish to dismiss a
man who has been both friend and
teacher to so many individuals lost
in the bureaucratic maze at UK.

Let’s not change a winner just for
the sake of change

UK fans 'sick’

The sportswriters of the Cin-
cinnati Enquirer, the Philadelphia
papers and others were hard on the
Coach and the Wildcats, perhaps too
hard, but they were right on the
button about the fans. To quote,
“Their followers, who made them
this way, are sick.” This is true; it is
true of the drunken sots who
urinated the carpet at Bluegrass
Airport and did hundreds of dollars
worth d damage. This is equally
true, that the fans are “sick" of the
drunken old boys who tail-gate at the
football games, the 45-year-old
bloated and balding teeny boppers
with middle age beer bellies; it is
ery true of the fans and fannies at
he Kentucky Derby who make hash
f the Churchill Downs.

Any state- that fosters the star
ystem in sports to the exclusion of
attempts at inchiding all facilities
afor more people to participate in
sports rather than “spectate” is
asking for a dumb mob that will
create such adverse reactions as
written by others. This state needs
many more swimming pools and
tennis courts available all year
’round for all the people’s use.
School children should be en-
couraged to participate in some
physical activities that do not
demand a teeeem!

The University of Kentucky has
one of the most pitiful swimming
pools in the country, very few sports
facilities for all students, Seaton
center too small, the hours for the
tennis courts too regirnented, as ae
the hours at Seaton, and va'y minor
emphmis on good physical ac—
tivities. Golf courses are for the vay
few. Horesback riding is for the
richest of the rich and their slaves.
The average dumb Joe thinks f he
sets his big butt down in front of a
team sport event he’s really living.
Instead, dumb, beer-swilling Joe is
dying, slowly but surely became he

Child's rights

A very disturbing incidait oc-
curred in Modem Art isson Feb. 20.
As usual, Fayette County chose to

close its public schools at the first
sign of snow. A member of our class
decided to bring her child to class
instead of missing an important pre-
test lecture. professor james Pierce
asked the woman to leave or take
her chfld elsewhere. The woman had
no alternative but to leave the class.
he explained to the class that he did
not teach children.

This violation of the child’s rights
is exemplary of many addts’ at-
titudes toward children and casts a
second class citizen’s role on young
people. What could have been a
positive learning experience for this
child turned out to be a humiliating
experience for both mother and
child. This inciduit raises important
questions concerning student rights
in the classroom.

Coathangers

Judith Drummond and the other
“Right to Life” zealots have
displayed a remarkable ability to
cloud the abortion issue. They have
also displayed a fundamental
misunderstanding of human nature.

The “Right to Life” movement
will not stop people from getting
abortions, any more than the
Prohibitin movement stopped peole
from drinking. It will stop people
from getting safe, legal abortions. If
the “Right to Life” movement is
successful, women will have no safe,
legal alternative to the back-alley,
black-market abortions of the past.

“Right to Life” is indeed a
misnomer. If the “Right to Liters”
are succesful, thousands of women
can look forward to having their
insides torn up by the illegal “coat
hanger abortions.”

That’s the real issue.
