friend woke him. “I was in deep
shock because we lost a prominent
leader." he said. “And my immedi-
ate reaction was to call other friends
and tell them the news "

"It was a very grave shock. I
couldn‘t believe it." said Ramachan
dra Srinivasan. a metallurgical en-

gineering graduate. who heard the
news at 2 am. “The incident is very
shocking and quite tragic . "

The India Association. which has
more than 200 members and serves
Lexington. [K and other surround
ing areas. is having an hour of
mourning at 4 pm. today at 229 Stu-

her own security detail shot her and
were killed on the spot by other so
curity guards. Without elaborating.

Professors say Reagan ‘landslide’ likely

By l)0l'(il..\S E. I’lTTIiNGIfiR
Staff Writer

Editor's note This is the first of
a two-part series on the I984 presi-
dential election.

Ronald Reagan will defeat Demo-
cratic challenger Walter I“. Mondale
in the presidential election. accord-
ing to UK political science profes-
sors. and the two factors that will
decide the election will be the na-
tional economy and voter‘s percep—
tions of his leadership qualities.

Paul Raymond. an assistant pro-
fessor. said the economy is a major
determinant on a voter‘s choice.
“The No. 1 predictor of how people
vote is if times are good or if times
are bad." he said. “Will Rogers said
that people look in their pockets and
vote. and that is what people have
done this time.“

Stanley Feldman. an associate
professor, said the economy issue is

in Reagan‘s favor. ”The economy
looks to be doing well and most peo-
ple perceive the economy has im-
proved," he said. "Reagan is clearly
benefiting from that,”

The economy is probably the
major reason Mondale is behind in
the polls. accrding to Donald Gross.
an assistant professor. "No matter
what Walter Mondale says he can‘t
negate the fact that the economy is
doing well." Gross said.

One aspect of the economy that
has not improved under the Reagan
administration is the deficit. howev-
er.

Raymond said the average voter
doesn‘t understand the defied situa-
tion completely. “We‘ve always had
a budget defictt. It's something the
Democrats have had when they're in
office and Reagan‘s had it when he's
beentnoffice."

Raymond said Reagan's solution
to the deficit is probably more popu-
lar than Mondale‘s.

“Mondale has suggested that the
way to deal with the deficit is to
raise taxes and people don't like
that. Reagan‘s approach is that.

the budget deficit will take care of

Gross said. however. that Mon-
dale‘s proposal to increase taxes
may be less of a political gambel
than many people believe The con-
u-iitional wisdom says candidates
shouldn't talk about rasitig taxes in
llll election. but Gross said that polls
show most people are willing to ac-
cept some type of tax increase to cut
the federal deficit

And Malcolm Jewell. a professor.
said the average voter doesn‘t un-
derstand that the budget deficits
can't be stopped by Reagan's spend-
ing cuts "The defictts have grown
so hugely and they don't understand
how tnucli these are caused by the
very large tax cuts Reagan started

By DOUGLAS E. PI'I'I‘ENGER
Staff Writer

The Student Center Ballroom will
be converted into a barbershop
today. But it‘s not part of a perma-
nent change in the building — it's
Delta Gamma sorority‘s second an-
nual HairCut-a-Thon.

Accorditu to Lisa ’I‘iemeyer. Delta
Gamma foundation chairwoman. the
haircut-a-thon will consist of nine
representativa from Lexington hair
salon and two independent hair-
dressers givim haircuts and blow
drysforfl.

The idea originated from 3 Cali-
fornia chapter of Delta Gamma. she
said. “We heard about it. and we
called them up and asked them for
the infa'mation and we decided to
doitlaatfall."

Member: of the sorority asked
several WW hair salons ear

her in the year to donate their time
to the event. Tiemeyer said.

Jackie Lemieux. a hair stylist at
Everybody‘s Hair Design. said she
got involved with the haircut-a-thon
because she thought it was a good
cause.

Proceeds from the event will go to
the Kentucky Federation for the
Blind.

bemieux said she thought the
event will be fun and she plans to
take some coupom to generate extra
business.

“One of my clients is a sorority
member (at Delta Gammai and she
asked if I'd like to do it and I said
‘sure.‘ " said Sanford Adams. 8 hair
stylist from Headlines.

He said he also was participating
because the haircut-a-thon Was for
a good cause.

Tiemeyer described last year's
event asasucceu.

"It went off pretty well." she said,

“That was the first year and we
made. I believe. close to $500. It was
a pretty good crowd because at the
end of the day we had to turn people
away because all the haircutters
had to leave and go back to work.“

And "I‘iemeyer said she hopes this
year‘s hair-cut-a-thon will be better
thanthe first.

“This year we had a commercial
on WLAP and the Student Center's
been getting lots of calls and at the
house people have just been calling
all the time about it." she said.

The haircut-a-thon will last from
ti:30a.m.to7:30p.m.today.

Display case change
causes controversy
on equality question

By STEPHANIE WALLNER
Managing Editor

Signs proclaiming “What's wrong
with the Constitution ~ Republicans
and SAB." and "Reagan and the
ERA don‘t mix." were met with
chants of "tear it down. tear it
down." yesterday at the Student
Center.

More than 40 students gathered to
watch as the College Republicans
put up a display case. replacing one
by the National Organization for
Women.

The display change climaxed a
week-long political debate as Stu-
dent Activittes Board officials re-
moved a display featuring the Dem-
ocratic presidential candidates to
make room for material on the Re-
publican candidates.

The debate. which centered on
whether political information should
be posted in the display case. began
last week when UK's chapter of
NOW put up information about Dem-
ocratic nominees Walter F. Mondale
and Geraldine Ferraro

But SAB. which operates the Stu-
dent Center display cases and loans
them out to student groups. had a
policy against “promoting individual
candidates in any campus. local,
state or federal election."

SAB ruled at a meeting this week
to drop the policy because it could
be unconstitutional.

"A Supreme Court case was decid-
ed in June that said university stu-
dent organizations cannot be disal-
lowed public facilities due to
content.“ said Scott Mustian. SAB
vice president. The case Mustian re-
ferred to involved use of campus fa-
cilities at the University of Missouri
at Kansas City by a religious group.

After dropping the policy about
political statements, SAB set forth
two options for use of the board in
order to allow equal time for all po
litical groups.

Louis Straub. SAB president. said
the first was to divide the display
case into three parts; one for Demo.
crats. one for Republicans and one
for third party candidates. The sec-

ond option. Straub said. was to re—
move the material by noon yester»
day and allow the College
Republicans to use the case.

“We‘re trying to be fair ., to
grant them (College Republicans)
the privilege of equal time.“ he said.

But Laura Collim. 3 NOW mem-
ber. said the first option was impos-
sible. since President Reagan op.
posed many ot the issues
represented in the NOW display. “It
would be a breach in our association
with NOW." to have Reagan rep-
resented.

“We choose not to compromise."
she said.

Straub approached Collins shortly
after the established noon deadline
yesterday and said, “I understand
your situation fully. We‘re not trying
to infringe upon your rights or any
other student organizations.“

Cathy Caton. a staff member of
the feminist newspaper Emergence.
said. “NOW is non-partisan. They
have taken it away from a non—parti-
san organization and given it to a
partisanorganization,"

"That is your idea of fair play?
After a week and a half of hard
work of proving your rule is proba-
bly illegal, you're kicking us out of
the case?" Collins said.

Yesterday. before the noon dead—
line. members of NOW tried to ap-
peal the SAB decision to Dean Jo
seph Burch. “We have made an
appeal to Joe Burch." Collins said.
“He will not ask SAB to repeal their
decision.“

Burch said last night that he
would not overturn SAB's decision.
”SAB is a creature of the University
and we have delegated certain pow-
ers to them." he said. “I prefer not
to substitute my judgment for
theirs.

“SAB doesn't have to make that
space open. but once they do. they
can't limit a particular brand of
speech.“

"The first time they (the Universi-
tyi acknowledged our appeal was
this morning.“ said Suzanne Felicia—

Group distributes Bibles
during annual UK visit

By ELIZABETH (‘ARAS
News Editor

For the past 11 years. Morris Bitz-
er has devoted one morning each
year to distributing Bibles on cam-
pus. And yesterday was that day.

Bitzer. a UK agronomy professor.
is a member of Gideons Internation‘
al. an association of Christian busi-
nessmen and professional men.
More than 30 members gave away
5.600 copies of the New Testament
yesterday at various locations
throughout campus.

Bitzer stressed that the organiza-
tion is interdenominational and
doesn‘t try to force its beliefs on oth-
ers. "We're placing the word of God
so if they don‘t know Jesus (‘hrist
the savior. they have a chance to
read it and make a decision.“

Mason Winkler. a six-year Gideon
from Anderson County. comes to UK
every year. but said that he came
later than usual this year. “We like
to come a bit earlier for the fresh-
men that don‘t make it and go
home." he said with a smile.

Gideons distribute New Testa-
ments on every major campus

across the world and the response is
always good. Winkler said. Most stu-
dents take a Bible if they don‘t al»
ready have one from preview years.
he said, and “only 10 to 12 percent
actually refuse."

“We plant the seed ,. that‘s all we
can do." Winkler said. “At our head-
quarters we get over 200 letters a
week from people that have been
helped by having a Bible when they
needed it."

Winkler said he is pleased with the
group‘s efforts. “It just excrtes me
thinking about coming here I am a
Christian and I‘m sharing my faith
through the word of God"

Gideons International IS based in
Nashville. Tenn. and has distrib-
uted more than 300 million Bibles to
hotels. mitels. hospitals and other
instituuons in 133 countries. Winkler
said. “This year we will distribute
over 24 million worldwide "

Forty percent of the group's bit-t-
get. which goes touard purchasing
Bibles. consists of donations from
the Gideons themselves and 60 per-
cent from church donations. Winkler

 

 

 

 

 

 Cats might rebo

With back-to—back losses being the
end result of the last two Saturdays.
the Wildcats are hoping to get back
on the winning track this Saturday
agaimt hapless North Texas State.

UK Coach Jerry Claiborne pointed
out at his weekly press conference
that turnovers and mistakes have
been frequent for State. and he

that the Texans will save a
few for his team.

One thing the Cats will have to do
before they can start talking again
about bowl bids and other extracur-
ricular activities in December is to
capitalize on other teams' misfor-
tunes and reestablish their offen-
sive game.

Going into the breakdown with
Loursiana State, the Big Blue was
averaging more than 32 points per
game and had only nine total turn-
overs on the year. At the end of the
first half. UK trailed only by six. 9-3.

Despite the fact that the Cats had
coughed up the ball four times. UK
still had a shot at winning, thanks to
the five LSL' turnovers.

Then LSU Coach Bill Arnsparger
let his Tigers run circles around the
Wildcats. holding UK to a measly
touchdown and forcing the Cats to
commit five more turnovers.

Andy
DUMSTORF

This in turn sealed the Cats‘ fate
and toppled them from their Top 20
perch.

And the Georgia game was even
worse.

Georgia Coach Vince Dooley said
after the game that he and his play-
ers were “upset over the fact that
we had let them score there near the
end."

The lone UK touchdown in the
game‘s closing seconds only made
the box score in the next day‘s
paper look good.

Tailback George Adams has to
rush for more yardage than he has
been Not to mention scoring a
touchdown or two here and there.
Adams was held scoreless against
Georgia and raked up only 41 yards
rushing — far below what he was
averaging earlier in the year. 111-
plus.

Adams with Georgia‘s placekicker
Kevin Butler kicking three field
goals and four extra points. the hex-
ington native no longer leads the
SEC in scoring. Butler does with a

Bill Ransdell. who at one time in
the season was tops in the confer-
ence in passing efficiency, needs to
find his receivers on the field. Rans-
dell completed only half his passes
against Georgia and has dropped to
fifth in the conference.

One good thing about this Satur-
day's game, NTSU is smaller than
the Cats. North Texas has also lost
seven straight games,

The University of Cincinnati came
away with a 1343 tie last year when
the Cats were coming off a major
conference loss. If the Cats don't
cover for themselves this year, his-
tory could repeat itself in the form
of NTSU.

Display case shows

that college groups
can act immaturely

.\'o one ever said life was fair. And certainly no one

ever said politics was either.

The Student Activities Board has two display cases that
it "lets“ student organizations use to promote themselves.
A former policy about the cases said they could not be
used for “promoting individual candidates in any campus.

local. state or federal election.’
SAB president Louis Straub called the use of the

C3585 a

privilege that SAB gives to student groups. The National
Organization for Women had their privileged time cut
short yesterday after a Tuesday policy change by SAB.

It seems that a Constitutional question arose about pro-
hibiting political endorsements. There was a little matter
called the First Amendment _., and its protection of free-
dom of expression — to be considered.

Advisers felt that if SAB prohibited groups from ex-
pressing their political beliefs. a sort of censorship may be

taking place.

The VOW display contained pictures of presidential cati-
didate Walter F. Mondale and running mate Geraldine
Ferraro among posters and books pertaining to the groups

other interests.

Tilt display was questioned by the College Republicans.
who wanted equal time for campaigning in the display

case After all. fair is fair.

According to SAB. fair includes taking away so-called
privileges to reprimand demanding student organizations.

But fair does not include their breach of an agreement
A the agreement that NOW was to use the case until Mon-
day And fair is not imposing a rule change made in the

middle of the agreement.

To fulfill its commitment to NOW and pr0vide equal
time for College Republicans. SAB should have made
available other display space for the (‘ollege Republicans

NOW signed for use of the display case weeks ago. and
SAB should have honored that agreement, regardless of its

newly discovered policy flaws.

The decision that was made reflects an immature con-
ception of the problem. SAB‘s policy was wrong. It should
have been changed. but not at the expense of any student

groups.

But then. immaturity is probably the only way the issue
could be handled. After all. we're dealing with politics.
