VA red tape
frustrates
students

By CINDYCATTELL
Kernel Staff Writer

t'l-lditor'snote: Thisis the second ina two-
part series on financial benefits for student
veterans. Monday's article dealtwith GI
Bill abuse.)

The Veterans Administration (VA) is a
sprawling national organization respon5
sible for functions ranging from hospital
maintenance to financial aid for students
whohaveserved six months ormorein the
armed forces.

As such. it is subject to the usual
bureaucratic snark that have made
govern mental agencies infamous.

“The system," according to University
vetera n benefits director Linda Anderson,
“has gotten too large to moritor itself.”

Andersai said the national VA has a two-
month backlog in its filing system, which
means that new veteran students can be
left waiting for their first checks—and that
drop-alts often receive payments even
though they have forfeited their eligibility.

She attributed the backlog to the vast-
ness of the agency. UK Veterans’
Representative Del Fambrough offered a
more detailed explanation.

“The Veterans' Administration is
reluctant to terminate a veteran of
benefits until they are sure he has ter-
minated his role," Fambrough said.
Consequently, a great deal ofstaff time is
spent closing out cases.

The procedure for student benefit
disbursement is quite complicated, he
sa‘d. Files are circulated between the
home institution, the regional office in
Lou‘sville and the treasury office in
Kansas City. The volume of cases and
forms makes communications between
offices painfully slow, he said. '

U-Senate tables move critical of game seat allocation

By JAMIE LL'CKE
Assistant Managing Editor

The University Senate voted Monday to
delay consideration of a resolution
criticizing use of the Blue-White Fund in
allocating seats at University athletic
events.

Presented to the Senate by Economics
Professor James Marsden, the resolution
states in part: “It isthe sense ofthe Senate
that the proptsed use of the 'BlueWhite
Fund for allocating choice seating for
L‘niversity sporting events is in direct
conflict with. and reflects most un-
tavorably upon. the fundamental
acadanic role of the L'niversrty.“

Football game seats have been allocated
on the basis of contributions to the Blue-
\\hite Fund. a major source of revenue for
the Athletic Association. since Com-
monwealth Stadium opened in 1973. The
opportunit). to purchase choice tickets
goes to contributors of $25 or more. with
top priority going I) contributors of $250 or
more the greaterthe donation. the better
the seat

A similar system is expected to be
utilized in allocation of seats when UK
basketball games move to the new
Lexington Center next year.

In presenting his resolution, Marsden
said, “the role of the University is one that
should relate to all individuals equally.
irrespective of financial status or
background." The Blue-White allocation
policy. he said, "smacks of maybe a
patronage system. '

"I feel our role is partly teaching classes
and partly relating and doing services for
individuals equally,“ he said. ”Once we
say people are treated differently on a
vague financial base, it limits how well we
do academically."

After brief discussion, the Senate ap-
proved Political Science Professor
Bradley Canm‘s motion' to postpone
further consideration of the resolution
until its April meeting.

Seva'al senators questioned whether
athletic event seating falls within the
academic domain of the Senate. Canon
said his motion to postpone further action
“as intended "for the Senate Council to

review the
relevancy."

While allocation of seats is not within the
Senate’s authority, according to Senate
Council chairman Malcolm Jewell, the
senate can pass resolutions reflecting its
feelings on particular issues.

"The realq uestion is whether the Senate
should be expressing itself on issues like
this." Jewell said. “ls this an area that so
seriously reflects on the fundamental
academic role of the University that the
senators want to go on the record and take
a stand on this?" '

in other action. the Senate approved
revisions of the rules governing punish-
ment for academic offenses. The revisions
were designed to clarify procedures for
dealing with students accused of offenses
such as cheating and forgery.

“There was a feeling that some
procedures (outlined in the Senate rules
for dealing with academic offenses
weren‘t precise enough," Jewell said.
“Several people who had been familiar
with how it was workingfelt there were not
enough procedural safeguards."

resolution's academic

According to Jewell, the revisions in-
crease “due process” in the procedure by
further specifying the roles of department
chairpersons and academic vice
presidents.

The senate also voted to remove a limit
on the mmber of credit hours that can be
earned through correspondence courses.

Last year the senate limited the number
of cred't hours that can be earned through
correspondence when it ruled that 30 of the
last 36 credit hours required for an un-
dergraduate degree must be earned on
campus None of the final 30 credit hours
could be earned through correspondence
courses.

But now students who receive the ap-
proval of their department chairperson
and college dean may use correspondence
courses to satisfy courses requirements in
their last 30 hours.

The new rule provides extra flexibility
for students who ha‘i’Ie special reasons for
using methods other than regular class
work to complete the last 30 hours before
graduation.

The air

Editor: '

Sharing the air every day on this
university avenue with 20,000 other
people, I too marvel at the many
apocry phal happenings in this world.
Liv'ng in the mainstream of daily
activity, I wonder how this newspaper
can afford to grant a weekly steam
outlet privilege to the embittered
writings of columnist Scott Payton.
Progressive lournalism is not living in
the past, and after reading Payton's
theme of "Urbania Blues,” i wish him
luck on living in the present. A man can
only last so long on broken rem'em
branoes, beer bottles and valiurns. As
for the pink mescaline. Payton, it got
eaten up three years ago, and since
then we’ve gotten Vulture Nixon out of
office. The CIA is the next most
profitable people's purge.

Did you realize that the same top
bureaucrats who have made deadly
laser weapons their new international
ego toys are the same cats who are
tyingtogettherestof us to give up our
guns? Perhqas they think a revolution
is pending. Had you heard that while
the federal fatcats drive gas devouring
roadhogs to the campaign soirees, they
are attempting to ban motorcycles
from the American freeways (which
they’ll never do”.

Our president calls Cuba an “in-
ternational outlaw” for intervening in
Angola; yet he permits Britain, who
was another rnercernary faction in the
Angolan dispute, to land their at
mosphere shattering SST’s in our
country? This is but a few crimes to
mention. ’

The distortion of truth in the media
will exist as long as we allow biased
mythsto prevail. l challenge Paytonto
tell the truth for his readers or comeoff
his tired, old rag.

assumes that those who consider
conception significant in the hum an life
cycle do so for religious reasons. That
is not necessarily so! Until conception

exist because neither egg nor sperm
can survive long independently. They

All bases

Editor:

What follows is not particularly
original, but I believe it sets things out
nicely, covering all bases. The
following are moral choices for abor-
tion:

A. All killing is wrong, therefore
abortion is wrong.

B. Killing humans is wrong. i.
Humans are human at conception,
therefore abortion is wrong. 2.
Humans are human by appearance,
therefore abortion is not wrong before
the third month of pregnancy. 3.
Humans are human by environment,
therefore abortion is not wrong (i.e.,
disconnection from the mother con-
stitutes a change in environment. 4.
Humans are human by rational ability,
therefore abortion is not wrong and
neither is infanticide.

C. State-regulated killing is not
wrong, therefore abortion is not wrong
given appropriate legislation

D. No killing is wrong, therefore
abortion is not wrong. Another possible
alternative would be to include ”killing
higher animals is wrong" with
provisions being made to distinguish
higher animals from lower and to
establish a point when the fetus would
pass from one to the other.

The idea is to take the letter or
number choice that suits one best and
run with it, realizing thatwhile abortion
is the question, what one has an
tecedently considered moral is at least
as important as the loudly proclaimed
position itself.

Religious reasoning

  

  
  
  

     

 

is a contradiction

 

By Trina King

 

In reference to the comment by Jo
Lux, "Unborn Deserve Some Protec-
tion” (Kernel, March 1) she is ob
viously as bigoted as Robert
Smitherman (”Right to life only in-
sures right to die," Kernel, Feb. 10) if
she feels that she is presenting the
correct view.

Religious reasoning is a contradiction
especially coming from the Catholic
Church. Their history proves that.
Theyeven madeGalileodenythe Earth
revolved around the sun because it
conflicted with ”known tacts.’

As for the statement "give me your
children for thefirst to years and they
are mineforever, “ I have heard this not
only from Catholics but from their
priests as well, through documentation
may bedifficult. It only proves that the
church has been practicing for cen-
turies what child psychologists have
recently discovered: the first five to
seven years of a child’s life are the

formativeonesand it'you influence him.

during that time then that child will
carry those impressions for the rest of
his life. Every Catholic I have known,
even if they proclaim themselves to be
atheists, revert to "defenders‘of the
faith" it you dare to attack any of the
dogmas of Mother Church.

Astor Pope Pius. only Pius XII was
pope during and after World War ll.
Coub not even find Pope Pius XI
mentioned. While it is true individual
church members and orders resisted
Hitler, the popes. with eyes open.
condoned his acts if only by doing
noth'ng. A few speeches denouncing a
mans military acts hardly counts
compared to a command that every

Christian should resist this
monster. Pius did not do that, or
anything that might anger Hitler
against him and his precious office.

But the discussion is on abortion and
the rig ht to be born. As Smitherman
said about children having the right to
live after they are born. Neglect,
hunger, and fear are hardly‘conducive
for a happy person. As for Lux’s great
Cathdic relief funds, l have traveled
extensively in Europeand l saw a lot of
misery and starvation in those Catholic
countries. The churches are decorated
with gem-encrusted gold ornaments
and the people die from neglect. I
cannot believethat it is allan act for the
American tou'ist. These relief funds
may feed people in the corners of the
world but it doesn’t look in its own
backyard. ’

The church is partially to blane for
the present situation. If they didn’t
condemn every new inventim as a
threat to their power maybe we would
be in better shape now. Look at what
the Catholic influence has doneto Latin
America. The CIA were deliverers
compared tothem. Astor being a tiny
minority, according to the "1976 World
Almanac" there are 532,582,(D0 Roman
Catholics in the world, the largest
membership of any church—— East or
West.

Hall worked

 

By Mark Koopmon

I have to be surprised at the attitude
of sports writers, including a very
unfair commentary by Charles Smith
("It’s about time Joe Hall grew up,"
Kernel, March 3). toward coach Joe
Hall.

In Smith’s commentary, Hall is
accused of being childish, immature.
dishonest and inhuman. Hall is none of
these. The outbursts during basketball
games Smith speaks so extensively of
can be attributed directly to a will to
win. These so-called outbursts not only
excite the crowd, butare often directed
toward some of the very questionable
refereeing we have seen this year.
What should we expect of Hall, to sit
quietly on the bench? Basketball is not
a business, but a game to be met by
fans, players and coaches with all the
energy and enthusiasm one can muster.

As to his credability as a coach, of

 

course he is good. Hall worked under ,

the greatest basketball coach of all
time, Adolf Rupp. If anyone was
curious, Rupp was known to get excited
every now and again also. Childish or
not, Rupp played the game to the en-
joyment of the crowd, in other words.
"to win."

Now after this. they attempt to cut
Hall from another side. Rick Baily of
the Herald-Leader had written an
article similar to Smith's. Instead of
attacking Baiiy or the Herald-Leader.

In defense of Joe B. Hall,

under Rupp

Hall simply asked his players not to
talk to the sports writer. Apparently in
retailiation, Herald-Leader Executive
Sports Editor Steve Wilson refused to
send a reporter to the LSU-UK game.
Now who seems to be acting childish?

It seems to me that the media are the
ones that owe an apology. The people
we are talking about are unjustly at-
tacking Hall, and therefore the UK
basketball team that they claim to be
supporting. Where is our loyalty? I
don’t recall near this amount of
criticism last year when Hall coached
the team to the NCAA finals. We seem
to lack spirit. Instead of commending
those who do have spirit, we condemn
them as being childish and rowdy. I
think it is we who need to make a
change.

Smith finished his commentary with
a classic bang. a Rudyard Kipling
quote. ”If you can keep your head when
all about you are losing theirs and
blaming it on you...you'|| bea man, my
son." It seems I owe it in the name of
sports to tell you that our fine English
friend, was very interested in polo. and
was quite well known for his rowdiness
and vehemence.

If growing up means the loss of en-
thusiasm, I sincerely hope that none of
us will be made to reach 'that stagnant
stage of maturity.

I think it is time that someone stood
upfor coach Joe B. Hall. I believe Hall
is a great basketball coach and I do not
understand why everyone is getting
down on him. Even last ye~ on he
took our team to the NL. '2.
people were dissatisfied with h.

I have never met a second gues
thatl likeand I feel that iswhat Herald
Leader sportswriter Rick Bailey was
tryingto do. Does hethink we would be
undefeated if Hall remained on the
bench every game? I sincerely doubt
that would happen. I feel that if the
referees are making bad cal Isthe coach
should let his team know that he still
supports them. I can definitely sym-
pathize with Hall, because I don’t
believe that sportswriters should
second guess the coach.

I think Hall developed into a mature
coach last year and continued growing
, this year. In spite of the adversity
thrown athim this year, we will have a
winning season. How much more do
you want from a coach who started the
season with only one starter from last
year‘s team and then lost him by in-
iury? This team was so inexperienced
thatitwasn’tevenfunny. Butthanksto
Hall’s coaching, the team grew up
overnight. When you lose four starters
and two reserves, it takes a good coach
to bring them along like Hall has. I
believethis team has finally ielled into
a team of championship calber.

After reading Bailey’s column, is it
any wonder that Hall did not want his

players talking to him? In my opinion.
a college coach has the right to i nstruct
his players not to speak to the press,. it
he so desires. It seems to me that
people did not get this upset when
former UCLA coach John Wooden
woub never allow his players to speak
to the press

I simply d) not sympathize with fair
weather fans. I feel that those who are
'rue fans are willing to stand by Hall

qardless. Who is to say that Hall

"elf did not finally spark the team
w is courtside behavior? This
years team has had many problems
and if Hall was a childish coach he
would have cracked under the
pressurevaand he hasn't.

It seems to me that most of the well-
known coaches have had technicals
called on them from time to time. Why
should you get down on Hall simply
because the officials have been
preiudiced against Kentucky?

Many ”fans” were upset with Hall
when he did not catch the player sub
stitution at the freeethrow line during
the Tennessee game, and now they are
upset because he is watching the of»
ficiab too closely.

Idonotagreewith Charles C. Smith's
(”It’s about time Joe Hall grew up,"
Kernel, March 3) statement that
"Hal’s angry outbursts incite the
partisans” becausethe crowd is usually
furiousbefore Hallevengetsangry. In
addition, I do not understand why other
coaches wouldfollow Hall’s example if
he were not a good coach.

Not just a pep talker

 

By Chuck Combes

After reading the comment by
Charles Smith ("It’s about time Joe
Hal grew up," Kernel, March 3). I
don‘t really think he wantsa basketball
coach. He wants a guy who can draw
plays and give a pep talk at halftime.
and then sit inpassively the rest of the
time. It seerrs to me that modern
basketball calls on the coach to be
much more than that.

First of all, what is wrong with
" inciting the partisans?" In case you
haven't noticed. Kentucky home
crowds are pretty quiet unless we’re
about to lose, we’re blowing the other
team wtof thegym, or the ref maiesa
bad call.

Inthe Auburngame, thislastitem got
out of hand. Just to point out a few
highlights: Eddie Johnson kicks the
bal out ofbomds off his own foot, right
it front of the referee. and then turned
toward the other end of the court. but
miraculously, is called back to retain
possession. Even Johnson couldn't
believe that one!

How ’bout tie time Mitchell comes
down with a rebound and then steps a
tootarrlahaltoverthe basel'newithout

 

being called for it? And the time that
the wrong manwas called on toiump in
a iump ball situation. Sure, referees
are human, and sure they're going to
make mistakes But some, like the
iump ball situation, can be corrected
before they happen, and I don't think
there are too many people in a better
position to do that than the coach.

Intact, l cat recall a game wherethe
coaches were blamed for not noticing
that the wrong player was at the free
throw line.

As far as coach Joe Hall’s behavior
off the court, i think he needs to think
seriously about banning anyone from
talking to his players. It is as much a
violation of the players' rights as it is
the reporter’s. I guess Hall was afraid
that some of his players would agree
with what Bailey said. Maybe he iust
thougit that Bailey was ”distorting the
facts," (a phrase that coaches keep in
their back pockets for occasional use
when a reporter states his opinion). In
any case, he probably’thought that he
had the best interest of the team at
heart, butthat is no excuse for running
scared in the face of criticism.

Stovall continues to oppose
the ERA rescission effort

FRANKFORT (AP) —Lt. Gov. Thelma Stovall was dressed in
pink Monday, the color symbolizing a movement she is dead set
against -rescission of Kentucky’s ratification of the Equal Rights
Amendment (ERA).

Stovall, however, has not changed her mind on the issue.

She was prepared to overrule any move by ERA opponents to-
extract a House-passed resolution to rescind the state’s ratification
of ERA.

Unexpectedly, it did not come up.

Sens. Gena Huff (R-London), Gus Sheehan (D-Covington) and
Richard Weisenberger (D~Mayfield) are leading a movement to
extra ct the resolution from the Senate Committee on Elections and
Constitutional Amendments.

The committee has bottled up the resolution for about two weeks,
and plats to hold a public hearing on ERA Wednesday.

The anti-ERA forces tried last Friday to bring up a petition to
discharge the resolution from the committee, but Stovall ruled
them out of 'order on a parliamentary technicality.

She was prepared Monday to cite a Senate rule which states that
a committee may keep any measure a ‘ ‘reasonable time” before it
can be extracted from committee.

Weisenberger said no move was made Monday to extract the
resolution because Sheehan was not present. He also said there was
some question that the discharge petition, filed Friday, would not

apply.

Soviet-backed troops plan
to take Namibia, Rhodesia

KINSIIASA, ZAIRE (AP) —Victorious Soviet-backed forces in
the Angolan civil warnow say they will push on to “liberate” white-
held areas of southern Africa while one of the pro-Western factions
claims to be mounting a guerrilla war in Angola itself.

Agostinho Neto, leader of the Popular Movement —-MPLA —says
his forces will move into Namibia and force South Africa to give up
control of the disrupted territory and will also take on Rhodesia.
The MPLA had the help of Cuban troops and Soviet advisers in its
mut of the National front —FNLA ~—and National Union —UNITA
—in Angola last month.

To move into Namibia, also known as Southwest Africa, the
MPLA will have to get by a defense line held by South African
troops 31 to 49 miles inside Angola. The South African forces with-
drew to that point after they stopped aiding UNITA in the civil war.

at ‘crItIcal' FlarIda primary

MIAMI (AP) —Ronald Reagan sprinted across Florida Monday,
accusing President Gerlad Ford of foreign policy inconsistencies
and politically inspired economic decisions. Ford campaigned by
long-distance telephone, urging his campaign workas not to ease
their efforts on the eve of a “crucial and critical” presidential
primary.

While Reagan, Jet-hopped from Miami to St. Petersburg to West
Palm Beach and Jacksonville, three major Democratic contenders
also were putting in their final bids for votes.

Georgia ‘5 Jimmy Carter said he would run ahead of Washington
Sen. Henry M. Jackson and. at the same time, deal at least a
psychological defeat to Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace.

Jackmn said he stopped Wallace in Massachusetts, whatever
happens in Florida. He said Wallace is no more than a regional
candidate now.

Wallace. who won here four years ago with 42 per cent of. the
Democratic primary vote. said he doesn’t expect to lose this time.

Israeli ambassador says U.S. arms
sold to Egypt could lead to war

“mmxumx (AP) —The American decision to sell military

Sympathizers of jailed grand
ji ry witnessJill Raymond staged
a mock jury of their own Monday
to focus attention on Raymond's
pight.

In canmemoration of the first
anniversary of Raymond’s im-
prismment, the “People‘s Grand
Jury" met on the county cour-
thouse steps at noon and at 5 p.m.
Witnessescharged harassment of
Raymond and others by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) and officials connected
with the Fayette County grand
3er-

After deliberation. the jury
charged several parties with
“conspiring to overthrow the
democratic rights of the
American people.“ Nearby, a
contingent of five policemen
wa ied idly for the demonstration
to end.

Raymond and five others were
subpoenaed by a Fayette County
Grand jury last'year in an in-
vestigation of Susan Saxe and
Katherine Power. The two,
alleged participants in a 1970
Boston bank robbery, are thought
by officials to have lived in
Lexington under assumed names
in the summer of 1974.

Raymond is the only one (i the
six who has not agreed to testify.
She remains in the Madison
County jail ona contempt charge
imposed by US. District Judge
Bernard T. Moynahan. If the new
grand jury does not subpoena
her. she must be released when
the current jury's term expires
May 3.

Margaret Shanks,
spokeswoman for the
People‘s Grand Jury. said the
demonstration. sponsored by the
Lex‘ngton Grand Jury Defense
Committee. was concerned with
more than the Raymond case.

“It serves the purpose of
drawing attention to misuse of
thegra rid jurysystem throughout
the country,“ Shanks said.
Sharks said Boston witnesses
who refused to testify about Saxe
and I’owerin a similar case have
been released.

Sally Kundert. one of those
questioned by the People‘s Grand
Jury. recalled how the FBI
surrounded the house where the
women thought to be Saxe and
Power had stayed. Kundert. a
resident of the house, said the
FBI repeatedly interrogated the
occupants, asking "personal,
offersive questions."

Another witness, Bob Benedict.
bid of his interrogation by the

FBI. Benedict said an agent
admitted at the time that FBI
officials did not believe any ofthe
house‘s occupants knew the two
women were Saxe and Power.

Thtse who lived at the house
were threatened with subpoena
by grand jury. said Gail Cohee.
another speaker. Cohee, who also
lvedin the horse, described the
FBI search as “harassment, a
fishing expedition."

She said the subpoenas were
issued as punishment for those
who refused to testify.

In its report. the People's Jury
indrted four parties for “con
spiring to overthrow the
American people's democratic
rights“: the FBI; the US. At-
torney (then Eugene Siler. who is
now a federal judge) and the
Justice Department legal
branch; the US. District Court,
the Court of Appeals, and the
Supreme Court; and the “rich
and powerful hidden rulers of this
country."

A crowd of approximately 40
persons and frequent passers-by
made up the audience for the
demonstration.

Another spectator sympathetic
to Raymond's cause was Domld
Muberry.

“They should let her out." he
said. “I just think she got a bum
rap."
