time.

from the recent attacks were that rapists

HE ADDED rapists usually gain entry to

Allen was sure some of the cases were
going to be interrelated. “We could go out

()verall. Harper and Allen said 32 rapes
have been reported this year compared to
last year's total of 38. They attributed the
increase to a willingness on the part of the
victims to report a rape rather than an
actual increase in the number of rapes
committed.

“We have no way of knowing how many
are occuring.“ Allen commented. saying
all the police have to go on are the ones

)ll-ITRO POLICE have divided the

districts for rape report purposes.
Limestone and Main Streets split the city
into four main areas. with the actual
downtown area and the county area

District four is used to refer to the area

This district has suffered seven reported
cases of rape since January. two more
than the same time period last year.

LAST YEAR'S total of reported rapes

 Showing his own brand of
Kentucky hospitality. Dean of
Students Jack Hall ordered tape
recordings made of the New
American Movement (NAM)
convention held last week in the
Student Center.

Not wanting to upset his guests,
host Hall forgot to tell NAM about
the tapings until the final day of
sessions. By then of course the
tapes had been made and became
part of UK‘s “library” of tapes
which no one can seem to locate.
Once again Hall had left his name
in the midst of controversy.

Although Dr. Robert Zum-
winkle, vice—president for student
affairs and Hall‘s immediate
supervisor. thinks NAM's lack of
prior knowledge concerning the
taping was "strictly an 0ver~
sight,” one has to remember who
ordered the tapings. Hall. Hall's
decision wasn‘t an oversight but a
definite absence of insight. And
that‘s something all too common
in the Dean of Students Office.

Hall was there with the students

riots of Spring. 1970. He opposed
the Gay Liberation Front‘s ap-
plication for recognition as a
student organization in 1972. Then
Hall rose up once more when the
Best of the New York Erotic Film
Festival was cancelled at [K last

March.

To say that Hall was directly
responsible for all of these actions
would be untrue. No one person
can beheld accountable for the '70
riots.

But man speak for

let the

himself. When asked why NAM
wasn‘t notified ofthe tapings, Hall
mustered, “If it‘s not a public
meeting we don’t inform them.
It‘s not a secret though.“ If you
understand that, you should be
Assistant Dean of Students.

The actual taping raises some
disturbing questions for UK
students. If the administration
can tape an outside group under
the auspices of a student
organization, what stops them
from taping other locations on
campus? Dothey havethe right to
tape classrooms, dorms or the
University telephone system?

Concerning tapings such as the
NAM convention. Zumwinkle
said. somewhat lightly, that the
University “not only sanctions it.
but does it."

When public institutions act like
private interests situations such
as this arise. Tapings and the
vindication of secrecy at [K
indicate a misguided direction
and a loss of purpose. A change of
policy is desperately tieeded.

 

Taxation for a space nation is wasteful indeed

“ASHIVGTPN — The largest
Fourth of July firecracker
around here will be detonated
when Congress passes this year's
authorization for the space
shuttle. This ferryboat in the sky
will cost $49 billion. if there are no
budget overruns and if there is no
inflation. But programs like
this have been averaging 50 per
cent in cost overruns. and in-
flation has been hitting 10 per
cent a year ifnot higher. At those
figures this latest escapade in the
skycould run us about $200 billion
dollars before it‘s finished.

Perhaps it‘s worth it. Look
what the space program has
given us so far — two reels of
home movies, three sacks of
rocks and the invention of Tang.
The launching pads of Cape
Kennedy have also provided the
more narrow~faced of the

astronauts a platform from
which to lecture the public at
large and occasionally even run
for office. Don‘t say your tax
dollars were wasted.

AS FAR AS any disinterested
investigator can determine, this
ferryboat to nowhere has no
imaginable use which cannot be
met cheaper and more ex-
peditiously by rockets already in
existence. About all the shuttle
proponents have been able to
suggest in the way of work for it
is to use it to tootlearound the sky
oiling the rust out of older or-
biting satellites. A $200 billion tow
truck.

Pehaps Nixon and Brezhnev
could have their next summer
meeting in the shuttle. only in-
stead of calling it the summit
they'd call it the apex while the

rest of the world may come to
regard it as the nadir Anyhow. it
would get the guy away from

It might be worth the money if
it would keep our increasingly
pathetic President in a posture of

Pskov'.’ — as he has his pockets
picked clean of his nuclear
reactors! History is making
Nixon payforwhathe's done, and
it‘s no fun to watch.

THERE ARE other
justifications for the space
shuttle. The most persuasive is

the large amount of money that
will pumped into the

inhabitants of Red River Valley and the economics of the dam’s con-

By TIM Ml'lll’llY

()pposition to the Army Corps of Engineers‘ dam on Red River is finally
beginning to coalesce after a long history of loose strategies and loose talk.
No doubt the urgency of the situation has pre-empted the natural inclination
of individualists as well as the diverse philosophies of various environmental
organizations and political office-holders. Two organizations are now func-
tioningstatewide for the purpose of halting any dam on the north fork of Red
River.

Red River Defense Fund (RRDFt is an association of individuals who
want to work actively in bringing all relevant factual information to the
public. encourage political cleavage on the issue of the dam. and promote
fund raising activities for financing litigation. RRDF‘s distinction is that it
has membership. is active politically. and has chapters in various cities in
the state, Presently the Lexington chapter and the (‘ovington area chapter.
called Northern Kentuckians Against the Dam. are very active. Chapters in
Morehead and Louisville are underway. with people in ()wensboro. Ashland.
Richmond and Mt. Sterling indicating an interest in organizing chapters.

Red River (forge Legal Defense Fund. Inc. (RRGLDF) is a corporation
inaugurated to solicit funds and disburse them for pre-litigation and
litigation expenses. lts board of directors are representatives in an unof-
ficial capacity from numerous environmental organizations. including

Our Red River (Powell County), RRDF and others. RRGLDF. Inc. answers
the need for a centralized, impeccable group to handle the large amounts of
money needed to finance such an unusual (for Kentucky) court case. Fur-
thermore. attorneys volunteering their services will synchronize plans
under this corporation. Three attorneys are on the board of directors with
two others in close cooperation.

The need for the two organizations which have as their focus Red River
comes at the 11th hour since Corps plans. state co-ordination, and
congressional appropriation combine into a seemingly inevitable impenging
reality. The method of attack up to now has been to inform and ignite the
general citizenry by printed word. Several Eastern Kentucky newspapers in
1966 editorialized against the dam. however an avalanche of articles and
exposes appeared in 1968 in local,state and national media. The attack on the
dam was inspired initially by the Sierra Club. which raised environmental
questions and was also at a very late date in the plan implementation
process being carried out by the Corps. It was successful essentially because
the Corps had done absolutely nothing to consider the environmental con-
sequences of its dam and could not even present a smoke screen of en»
vironmental concern.

Through the spontaneous letternwriting efforts and scientific testimony.
the Corps was forced to defend its recommendation to Congress in a number
of special reports. The Corps. however. never once admitted the en-
vironmental considerations to enter logic of its support for the dam. The
Corps ignored the suggestion from Interior Secretary Stuart L'dall not to
build the dam and maintained its commitment to the dam until the combined
weightof Interior Secretary Hickel. Sen. Cooper and Gov. Louie Nunn forced
a compromise with them to build the dam 5X 2 miles downstream.

Once major political figures compromised. the Environmental Groups‘
position became co—opted since they represented multi-purpose
organizations and not a strict resistance to a dam in the Red River Gorge.
The Lower Site Compromise-Cooptation all but dissolved the impact of the
pro-preservationist study by National Park Service. which concluded that
“while the Upper Gorge is unique. its area is too small for consideration as a
National Landmark; however. the uniqueness of the Upper Gorge and the
geologic features throughout the entire North Fork area below the Upper
Gorge would make this entire area worthy of preservation as a National
Landmark.“ Since the compromise had already been reached and the dam
continued under the 1962 authorization title. nothing came of this
“uniqueness“ report.

So now the Corps has issued the final Environmental Impact Statement
and at last is ready to bulldoze. The newly organized groups who oppose the
dam represent the entire spectrumofthose who wish to preserve Red River
and they offer the best leverage on the National and State Govemments to
prevent this senseless degradation ofthe land and the people.

 

Tim Murphy. a (‘lark (‘ounty resident. is a memberofthe Red River Defense
Fund and a long-time opponent of the Red River Dam.

The way the Corps sees it

Resource Interpretation

The need for public understanding and appreciation of Corps civil
works is particularlyacute at this project. In recent years. the public has
been made keenly aware of the unique natural ecology of the Gorge area.
The strong non-utilization view that is being vigorously promoted by
preservationalists is becoming more and more the attitude of the general
public. In order to create and maintain the confidence of the public.
resource development at this project will be complemented by an ef-
fective resource interpretation program.

Such a program utilizes the latest techniques of outdoor education
public relations and nature interpretation to acquaint the public with the
Corps‘ role in conservation of our nation's natural resources. The visitor
center. overlooks. natural bridges and hiking trials will receive par-
ticular emphasis through the use of interpretative signs. interpretative
displays. and resource management uses. The visitor center will be
constructed with Account 19 funds at an estimated cost of $190,000.

Visitor Center $110,000
Parking 20.000
Landscaping 5.000
Interior Furnishing Displays 35.000

Development of this project is a challenge to the Corps of Engineers to
display its ability to preserve. enhance and manage unusual scenic
values and natural resources.

Master-Plan Land Requisition of the Red River Gorge by the Army (‘orps
of Engineers (1971).

For Vietnam veterans

Discharge reform sought

By NANCY DALY
Managing Editor

UK Lawyer‘s Guild and Lexington People for
Amnesty (LPA) have started a project to
upgrade less than honorable discharges of
Vietnam—era veterans.

Dick Burr, second-year law student and
member of the Lawyer’s Guild, said the project
was initiated after they talked to people from
across the country with similar programs.

’I‘Wt) representatives of the Central Com-
mittee on Conscientious Objectors in
Philadelphia came to Lexington in May to
sponsor a weekend training session on the
technical aspects of discharge upgrading.

The 15 persons involved. half of whom are law
students. have a wide background of community
and political involvement but are basically
concerned about the problems of Vietnam-era
veterans,

"The draft and the military are such that we
view less than honorable discharge as war-
related," said LPA chairperson David Edwards.

'l‘IlE (mores aim to serve veterans and
military personnel in Central and Eastern
Kentucky who need help dealing with what they
term “the overriding oppression of the military
system Itself.“

Less than honorable discharges cause dif-
ficulties in getting jobs. veteran's medical and
educational benefits and VA loans. said Burr.

Discharges can be upgraded by appealing with
federal discharge review boards. Burr said they
will offer veterans legal assistance in filling out
the appeal forms.

VETERANS OFTEN have grounds for appeal,
he said, if the military failed to follow their own
regulations or if they can prove “categorical
prejudice" occurred in the discharge process.

Burr said the American Civil Liberties Union -
office in Washington DC. handles 200 discharge
upgrading cases a month with a 90 per cent
success rate. But only 18 per cent succeed
without legal assistance, he added.

He said the Lexington group will try to gain
access to community services such as health and
mental care for veterans and develop a com-
munications network so veterans will step for-
ward to receive help.

THE AMNESTY GROUP. which was formed
over a year ago by antiwar activists, will work
on publicity for the discharge upgrading project.

“Veterans issues are closely tied with the
amnesty issue," said Edwards. “We‘re pushing
for a universal. unconditional amnesty not only
for draft resisters and exiles but also for
veterans with less than honorable discharges."

Edwards said amnesty is an “intangible”
issue which will take a number of years. but
discharge upgrading is “concrete" and deals
with the specific problems of individual

veterans.
