While working overtime

Campus units battle winter effects

By JIM McNAIR
Copy Editor

During the brief respite from
heavy snowfall, two divisions of the
University have been hard at work
trying to neutralize the season’s
annoying effects.

The Physical Plant Division has
worked day and night to make
streets, sidewalks and parking lots
passable. Meanwhile, the Division of
Public Safety has logged overtime
manning squad cars, radios and
telephones to take care of
emergencies.

The biggest problem for PPD is
clearing snow when parked cars are
in the way. According to Jim
Wesseis, PPD Director, this occurs
in parking lots and on roadsides
alike.

“It’s impossible to get under and
around cars that are parked
illegally,” he said. “It stymies your
street-clearing operation for that
area.”

Wesseis explained that his crews

have been clearing parking lots at
night and when the University was
closed. He said he would again
request that owners move their cars
from parking lots if a new snowfall
warranted it.

Should another large volume of
snow hit Lexington, Wesseis has a
small armada of machines at his
disposal to combat the piling white
mass. Backhoes, payloaders and
tractors with blades and rotating
brooms all await his command.
Also, Wesseis said he has enough
sand for still another big snow and
that the supply of cinders and
calcium chloride (salt) was
adequate.

For Tom Padgett, director of the
UK Division ti Public Safety, the
main problem has been geting
people to and from work. Personnel
shortages have been so severe that
three who did show up had to work
addtional hairs. Padgett himself
has worked from 4:30 in the morning
to 10:30 at night taking phone calls
from people in distress.

“Strange things come up in this
weather,” Padgett recalled. “There
was a couple at UK Hospital who
were stranded and needed to get
back to a sick child in Pikeville.
They called and asked for a ride. I
called the National Guard, the State
Police and the Civil Defense before
the National Guard finally said they
could fly them if they could be ready
in an hour. They got home by
helicopter.”

As with Wesseis, Padgett’s force
has been contending with a host of
illegally parked cars. Cars blocking
loading docks and fire lanes are
towed as a result, the same fate
going for cars which have not bear
m0ved in a “reasonable amount of
time.” For the most part, though,
car towing is avoided.

Padgett estimates that 30-35
percent of all parking spots are now
unusable became of the snow.
Parking restrictions, though,
haven’t been relaxed.

“With parking,” Padgett said,

Jenkins cities family reasons
for leaving University post

By MARY ANN BUCHART
Kernel Staff Writer

With the resignatiOn of Sarah
Jenkins, UK is in need of an
assistant dean of students.

Jenkins, who cited family reasons
for her resignation earlier this
semester, carried both specific and
general duties which have been
temporarily reassigned by Dean of
Students Joe Burch.

The duties left vacant by Jenkins
resignation include roles as adviser
to the Panheilenic Council and
sev aal womens' hmorary societies.

“I am a perfectionist," said
Jenkins, “and I had to make a choice
between my career and my new
datghter. I very much hated to
leave UK, but I felt a greater
priority towards being a mother.”
Jenkins has a nine-month-old
datghter, Elizabeth Courtney, who
was born last fall.

When Jenkins decides to return to
work, she said UK will be one of the
first places she will look. ”The
administration is va'y supportive.
From the day l was hired I was
impressed with UK.

“When I first met the women on
the Panheilenic Council (an
organization consisting of
representatives from each sorority),
I noticed how well-motivated they
were. I enjoyed the opportunity to
help them refine and develop the
organizational skills and theories
they learned in class,"

Jenkins had praise for the
Panheilenic Council‘s programs.
“One of Panheilenic‘s strong points
is the great amount of com-
munication between sororities. UK
is a very Greek campus.

Susan Daunhamr, last year's

Panheilenic president, said that
Jenkins madea big difference. “She
was so out of the ordinary, and a
great person. As advisor, she
worked with the housemothers and
made suggestions to us. She was our
link to the administration."

Daunhauer said Jenkins, who is
black, gave much help to the black
sororities.

Jenkins returned to Lexington
from Chicago in September, 1975,
what her husband, Morrison Leroy,
began work as a vice president for
First Security Bank. She had
received a master’s degree in
English and theater from UK, and
looked to the school for a job.

Jenkins described her job as
stimulating and satisfying, and
added that it was hard to leave the
job after two and a half years.

—-———today

Hiring an assistant dean in the
middle of the semester is difficult,
said Burch. At present, Burch said
he and the remaining three assistant
deans are handling the work
themselves.

“We would normally fill this
position in the spring,” said Burch.
“if someone suitable comes along
right now, we will go ahead and hire.
If not, we will wait and advertise the
open‘ng."

Burch said he is considering hiring
part-time help right now if it looks as
thmgh no suitable full-time can-
didate will be available until spring.

In choosing a new assistant, Burch
will be assisted by alumni and a
panel of students. He has recieved
seve'al applications, he said, but
said replacing Jenkins is a
“process" that will take a while.

Intramural athletics
has 'growing’ problems

By JEANNE WEHNES
Copy Editor

It’s very likely that intramural
athletics is the fastest—growing
department on campm. And
Director Marcia Hammond is bodi
enthused and worried about the
program’s rapid expansion.

_- The “problem” of intramurals,
said Hammond, is their popularity.

Team sports seem to be the most
popular and fastest-growing in-
tramurals, said Hammond. There
hasbeenaaopercentgrowthinthe
number of basketball teams since
last year. With some 112 games
played each week, the basketball
courts will be filled with intramural
games until spring break.

Individual evmts such as hir-

University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky

“our problem is people who will not
allow themselves additional time to
find a place to park. People feel they
have a license to park anywhere.”

Scott Street is an example of
drivers’ lack of consideration, said
Padgett. The road was plowed for
two-way traffic, yet as soon as one
car parked in the lape, a flock of
others followed suit. Padgett said
th's typified the parking situation on
campus.

“If you look at it from the stand-
point of keeping the University open
to traffic, especially during an
emergency, you don’t look at it as
helping one person to get to class.
We advise staying home, car pooling
or riding the bus,” he said.

Cats pounce
on Auburn

By BOB STAUBLE
Assistant Sports Editor

Kentucky notched a 104-81 win
over Auburn last night, and in doing
so played a contest that was a
mirror-image of Saturday night’s
fight with Florida.

In both games, a lethargic Ken-

seshoes and croquet, and one-day
events, such as bicycling, (held
du'ing Little Kentucky Derby) draw
a great number of people. Some
was added last year, and future
events like frisbee and skateboar-
ding may become popular.
Bernard Johnson, director of
campus recreation, said in-

The Seaton Center is “Phase I” in
a series of buildings that is supposed
to make up a complete sporting
facility. Phase II had no projected
year of completion, and has not
begin.

The council app-oved no projects
on Kentucky campuses for receiving
state funds, and constniction now

tramurals have grown because of depends mainhy on the ability of

several factors. An increased

awareness of physical fitness,

especially by women, Johnson said,
has increased the mmber of pit-
ticipants.

Hammond said this year’s main
addition to the program is “co-rec”
team sports. These teams have
equal numbers of male and female
players, with some games using
modified rules. The purpose of these
events is to reduce the often inteme
level of competition in the single sex
events.

Hammond said she is very op-
timistic about the come program.
“We hope it will provide a way for
those who are less inclined to fierce
competition to get involved in
campus intramurals."

Becatse of a more relaxed at-
titude in co~rec competition,
Hammond said the games have a
social atmosphere rather than the
“kill” philosophy which she said
often seems to accompany other
team events.

By adding the new program,
Hammond said the department
hopes to keep abreast of new trends
in recreation. Participation in
programs continues to go up each
year, Hammond said. She said there
was a 20 percent increase 'at the
number of men’s teams and a five
percent increase in the number of
women’s teams for fall events from
last year.

Hammond’s office also handles
complaints about eligibility of
members on teams. These are the
only complaints her office will ac-
cept, as problems about calls are
handled on the spot by referees. In
nine out of ten cases, the player is
found to be ineligible.

The growth of intramurals has
also placed a strain on UK’s
recreational facilities.

When construction of the Seaton
Center was proposed, the original
budge was $6 million. Johmon said
that by the time appropriations were
finally approved, it had been pared
down to $2.5 million. “We knew
before we even moved into the
building that it was too small.”

tucky team waited until past half-

time to break out of a close game
and decide the outcome.

Commenting on UK‘s play against
Auburn‘s tough triangle defense
with two chasers, Kentucky coach
Joe Hall said, “In the first half, we
did not attack it like we should have.
We went the whole half without
getting ourselves organized."

In the early going, guard Truman
Claytor hit a 10-foot jumper for an 8-
4 UK lead, but landed badly on his
right ankle. He left the game at 18:03
but returned for the second half.

Givens saw the return of his
prodigal soft touch and finished the
game with a total of 22 points.

The first period saw a less than
noteworthy UK struggle against hot—
handed Auburn. The Tigers shot 58.7
percent in the first stanza, paced by
6-8 senior Mike Mitchell with 16
points.

each school to sell bonds for the
projects. Johnson said once con-
struction is again approved, ad-
ditional recreational space is high on
the priority list. The next building
will probably include a new
swimming pool.

The Seaton Center addition ranked
sixth in 16 proposed buildings for
constructiou on a priority list
compiled for the state Council on
Higher Education last fall.

In the past three years, the time
the Seaton Center is open has in-
creased 20 percent, mainly at-
tributed to the growth of the in-
tramural program.

Became of the limited space on
campus, Johnson said intramurals
offer the best use of the space
available. “We get more people on
the courts in a-ganized play, thus
better utilizing the space.” He ad-
ded, howeva', that recreation of-
ficials don’t want to do away with
free play.

Hammond said weekday hours are
regulated by a University policy that
discourages recreation at the ex-
pense of studying and sleeping.
Weekend hours could be extended,
she said, but “We really haven’t had
a demand for the added weekend
time . . . Ireally don’t think there is
one.”

The Alumni Gym on the north side
of campis is also used for some
physical education classes and is
open afler five for free play.

Use of the Alumni Gym has been
limited timing the day because of
noise complaints from employees in
the Human Relations office down-
stairs. When the office is relocated
at the end of the month, said
Johnson, the gym will be available
more often.

The increased popularity in
racquetball has pit great demands
on the four courts at the Seaton
Center. Johnson said pans are to
change two of the squash courts to
“multi-purpose" courts. Johnson
said although the courts will not be
regulation size, they will be useful
for three who are interested in ex-
cercise and practice.

Neonatal care proposal
gives infants a chance

There’s a good chance that medical care for
infants in Kentucky will be expanded and un-

roved in the next two years. If the $6.5 million
Budgeted b Gov. Julian Carroll is app-eyed by
the state egisiature, more facilities will be
available to critically ill infants in this state.

The Universmitiyl'i Hospital is slated to receive
more than $3 ' on under the proposed budget.
That amount would pay for 20 more beds for
infant care, with some $2 million paying for the
comparatively highe' cost of operation.

The inadequate facilities for neonatal care
have been an issue of growing im rtance in
recent years. In the 1976 state e ' ture, Sen.
Steve Beshear, D-Lexington,, sponsored a
neonatal aid bill. Beshear failed to seek the
govemtr’s early support, however, and the bill
was nd passed

The recent outcry ove' inadequate neonatal
care made it a virtual certainty that the demand

this legislative session. After widely ublicized
infant deaths caused by a lack of fac' ’ties, and
television advertisements asking for more funds,
Carroll answered the call in his executive
budget.

The proposal would not only expand the
highest level of care —- “tertiary,” offerred onl
UK and in Louisville - but would establ'
badly needed intermediate care units throughout
the state. The intermediate care units will bring
medical care much closer to ambulances during
emergencies.

The present situation where infants must
sometimes be driven past hospitals that are
overcrowded is intolerable. Additionally, ex-
panded neonatal care will save money by
eliminating medical costs for children who
sustained permanent damage during infant
illnesses. The neonatal budget request fills a

A basic defect in views

In support of the right to arm bears

I came across a National Lampoon
cartoonontheBilloleghts, in supportof
our constitutional right to arm bears. That
night, I settled in to watch the nightly news
(all the news that fits). In between Rona
Barrett’s “Who’s screwing who” segment
anda shirt about Jackie Onassis flying the
children off to the Last Resort, a film clip
was run which dealt with the hunting
(pronounced slaughter) of baby seals on
the North American coast. Someone

mentioned that it was :nsdess. and shond.

that the liv many hinged on their
tradein sealskirns. My solution was to plant
land mines around the ice, with a scent
repngnant to seals. Sort of to even up the
odtb a bit.

I’ve often thought of opening a training
camp for small furry critters in small
arms. “If we can’t get respect out of the
two-legged animals, fear might do for
now-ll

Frank Schaap’s comment was “Screw
ecology. Let’s kill all the little furry
animals and find out where they’re hiding
the'r money.”

The'e is a basic defect in our view of
ourselvs and the world around us. Aldo
Leopold, in his classic Sand County
Almanac, traced the development of our
ethical structures; the limitations on
personal action towards a social order. In
the days of Odysseus, our hero returned
from his wars and hung a dozen slave girls
when he suspected of sexual indiscretion
(ahem). At that time, he was praised, for
the ethical structure didn't include slaves
and especially slaves who were women,
who were doubly regarded as chattel. The
limits of our ethics have grown through the
age, encompassing relations between
people and society, yet no ethic has
emerged to deal with our relation to land.
Here, the status of man to environment is
full of rights, with no resultant respon-
sibility.

'nne Louisville Courier-Journal magazine
contained a cartoon some weeks back, with

four rather elegantly dressed people sitting
at a table covered with crystal and wine
bottles. The caption? “Look, quit
worrying —- notlning’s going to run out
before we do.”

The flippancy with which we face the
future, and the complacency about a
crucial transition that is slapping our faces
with its urgency, boggles me. But hark,
something will turn up! Something must
turn up, therefore it will! Technology will

The goverrnmental powers and the czars
of the enegy indtstry spew out piecemeal
remedial programs designed to patch up
the flat tires in our headlong drag race with
the systems of nature. Meanwhile, we
consistently thwart the ecosystem of the
planet from repairing itself by upping the
stakes with chemicals synthesized from
bases unknown to the natural world, and
such, towards the end of maximizing
profits. It is time, if not past time, that we
take cognizance of the basic conflict bet.
ween our view of the world and the reality
of the world.

Perhaps a brief look at Japan will clarify
what I mean. (It’s rather ironic to hear all
the anti-Japanese sentiment regarding
steel production. It sort of reminds me of
the fairy tale about the nation that forced a
bunch of third~world countries into forming
a coalition called OPEC, who then seized
the big bad nation by the crotch.)

After World War II we exported, under
Eisenhower’s “Little America” plan, our
view of what a thriving economy should be:
is. capitalism (of the free-market,
american-homegrown variety). Un-
fortunately, Japan had not the natural
resources nor the soil to sustain a system
such as ours. which has nearly gobbled up

vital need, and should be passed.

all of America in less than 100 years. Japan
stands as a microcosmic model of an ad-
vanced capitalist nation exceeding its
limits of growth. With about one-fourth of
the nations in the world industrialized to
any large extent, we are smothering in the
try-products of a system that respects no
imits.

Harry Caudill wrote a book entitled A
Senator from Slaughter County, which
chronicled the political career of a doctor,
young and idealistic, to a hardened political
animaldl‘he message I got was BEWARE:
YOU TOO CAN BE CO-OPTED without
even knowing it. I can’t help but grimace
when I hear people say that they don’t wish
to be rich, just comfortable — to have not
all of the pie, just enough . . . These are
terms that know no self-contained limit.
Could you imagine Exxon returning some
of the 330 pe‘cent profit it extorted from
people in the winter of 1973 and coming on
the air: “The board of Exxon corporation
has decided that, for the next year, we will
give away the gas and oil reserves which
REALLY belong to you people anyway,
becanse we have enough.” Fat chance.

The scientists at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology and many other highly-
touted experts in population growth,
pollution and other limiting factors on our
survival have warned often of approaching
and exceeding our limits of growth. Why
haven’t we heeded their warning? There is
a general air of cynicism and disbelief
about such things. Partly fostered by the
hoax perpetrated by the energy
conglomerates who control our oil, coal,
gas and uranium reserves, in cute to get
concessions from government and com-
munities for higher prices, offshore
drilling, and stricter control. over the
country’s functioning, we tend to disbelieve
real warnings There is another factor,
though, which no one likes to face: our
present system cannot continue to exist
without calamity. The people ternd to
scream at someone else — make sure that
there is energy. The American Electric

Power Company initiated a scare-tactic
campaign in all the media to blame our
problems on the arabs, environmentalists
and the government. Their purpose? To
polarize the nation against the foreign
nations on whine back we have thrived
these many years; to thwart those who
would favor our continued existence over
their profits. The underlying dynamic
scares me.

A man, obviously looking for a fight,

'entereda store I worked at once. To this .

day, i’msure lie-was sent to show'me how
far we have yet to go in truly educating
people to respect the natural world. He
walked in, incensed about a “Save the Red
River Gorge: Dam the Corps of Engineers”
poster i’d placed in the window, and
proceeded to scream “Why do you want to
save the gorge for? It’s just a bunch of
rocks,” and wrapped up h'ur argument with
“You can’t stop progress!"

I am afraid that, if it came down to it,
people in Detroit, New York, and probably
Lexington would say “to hell with Eastern
Kentucky. We want our color TVs and
water piks. Strip the hell out of it.”

The major thrust of environmental ef-
forts and our energy planning seems to be
the maintenance of our system and its
growth. The real solution denands that we
question a system which has depleted the
soil, rendered practically useless most of
our nation’s waterways, sacrificed
thousands of acres of our mountains to
profits and energy, and created a standard
and manner of living whose redeeming
qualities in terms of human interaction,
happiness and development of human
potential are minimal, to be generous.

It denands that we orrselves adopt a
new (and old) view much more akin to the
patterns of life which acknowledge the
closed nature of the ecosystem earth, and
recognize the necessity and wisdom of a
species understanding the delicate balance
of our world, rather than ignoring the
reality and pushing those balances past
their limits.

It demands that we be less acquisitive,
less greedy, and begin to break out of a
style if life which consistently swallows
into the american dream of more meaning
better, and that the aim of life is a sort of
placid, mindless dystopia where material
items replace spiritual needs with elec-
tronic placebos.

Perhaps the real solution demands that
we live in the present, to live with those
around us. I live in the section of town next
to the university that is reserved for college
students by landlords'and landladies who
know they can extort outrageous rents for
cold water flats from desperate students. 1
had a front lawn last summer. By mid-fall,-
it looked like a plastic cup factory for the
Kentucky Wildcats. People generally, as a
rule, don’t puke on their living room floors.
They don’t defecate on their front lawns.
Yet people, especially students, litter their
own streets and yards with no regard.
Why? Possibly becanse they don’t feel they
really live there; that they just stay there
until school’s out, and then go home. The
reality is that they spend more time there
than at home, bit feel no attachment to the
rented roachtraps. No sense of community,
of belonging. I myself haven’t made major
improvements on my apartment, feeling
that I won‘t be here long. In the same
manner, we all livein the future. Christians
live for the next world, and lust for that
meeting beyond the mortal sphere, way up
yonder where there are no coke machines.
Most eve'yone else lives with the same
illusions, denying those around them and
the environment, which has become so
cluttered with plastic and steel mon-
strosities that it‘s truly hard to generate
any love for it.

This sounds like a tourist brochure for
Bermuda. i won’t belabor the point.

$90,000 loss

Without fines for faculty,
lost books are lost books

By NELL news
Assistant Arts Editor

Want to add to your per-
sonal library? The easiest
and cheapest way is to
become a faculty member at
UK

Ever since the UK library
has been in operation, those
with faculty status have not
been fined for their lost
books. That means one or two
things: either the faculty is
hmestly losing books or they
are keeping their personal
libraries up to date.

The problem actually
wouldn’t be that big if there
weren’t approxirnently 1,500
faculty borrowers. There is
also a $90,000 deficit each
year due to the lost books.

it is obvious that not all of
this huge sum is to be at-
tributed to thefaculty, but the
fact remains that faculty is
m! penelized for lost books.

With the exception of
faculty, all other users—
including legal adult
residents of Kentucky—pay
fines and are charged for
books reported lost. This does
not stop all the books from
beingstolen, but it does actas
a detcrrent.

This discouragement works
best on the undergraduate
students, since they are the
number one patrons of the
library. The library is able to
hdd the deliquent borrower’s
transcript until the book is
recovered or the fine payed.

Appropiating the books
from the faculty is a much
bigger problem. Associate
Director of UK Libraries
Ruth Brown, believes that
imposing fines- would in fact
cost more than the present
system.

It has been suggested that
faculty’s checks be withheld

until thebort is reoovmd. “I
don’t know if fines would get
the books back,” Brown
said,“but the administration
costwouldbetoohightotry
to withold checks."

Last summer, the library
sentout665endoftheyear
notices reminding faculty
members of their overdue
books. Of that f’igia-e, over
half—399—have not
responded Those who have
ignored that letter have been
sent a second notice from the
library.

Most of the faculty act
favorably to the notices, but
several members have had
books checked out for two
years or more. If faculty
don’t return their books,
they’re not clnrged

On one account, the library
called a faculty member
about the books that he had
out. The person respon-
ded,“l’ll return the books
when I am damn good and
ready. I’m faculty and! don’t
have to pay any fines.”

Faculty who do not adhere
to the notices are in the
mina'ity, although there are
those who
