VIEWPOINT

Manuel decision
good move by UK;
Cats need support

The L'mversity made the smartest possible move in the
ongoing Nt‘AA investigation game Tuesday when Eric
Manuel voluntarily Withdrew from practice with the has-
ketball team until questions concerning his American (‘olr
lege Test score have been resolved,

The L'niversity made the announcement after a short

hearing Tuesday

Questions about the AFT Manuel took in Lexington two
years ago have intensified the NCAA investigation. which
has been the center of talk at L'K for almost a year,

To allow Manuel to compete would seriously risk the
success of this year's squad. If Manuel is playing and the
NCAA finds that he did cheat on the exam, UK could be
forced to forfeit games the team won when Manuel played.

But the t'iiiv'ersity ‘s holding decision, a sort of wait-and-
see attitude. still leaves an opening for Manuel’s return in
the event that the \(‘.\.»\‘s questions about the exam are

answered.

In addition. allowing Manuel to voluntarily make the de-
cision not to practice at least gives the impression that the

The art of jaywalking is not getting to the other side

The t'K Police Department re-
minded LLs last week that jaywalk~
ing is illegal and unsafe They also
said they would strongly encourage
anyone seen crossing streets ille»
gally to stop the practice immedi-
ately.

While their actions are reassurr
ing to our safety. let us pause and
review the institution of jay'walking
for its merits

I believe that there are two kinds
of jaywalkers

The casual jaywalker once in a
while will cross a street outside of
the crosswalk and feel like a rebel
When presented with a crosswalk
within easy reach they feel obliged
to useit

The hardcore jaywalker is one
who thinks crosswalks are for
wimps. and may not even look be
fore crossmg the street because he
knows that as a pedestrian he has
the right of way. Buildings are the
only things slowing these guys
down

For the purposes of this study I
will use the hardcore jaywalker as
the principle actor because they
perform jaywalking iii its highest
form

Jay'walking provides benefits to
one who practices the unsafe act of
dodging cars beyond that of saving
a little time In fact. my thesis
states that from jaywalking. people
gain educational experience by

WALKER

subconsciously accumulating and
then applying principles of educa
tional disciplines taught everyday
in universities around the country

Mathematics/Physics 7» Most
people jaywalk because they know
it will save time. This is too Slm'
plistic an explanation because jay-
walking is a very complex
phenomenon and a function of
mathematics and phy'Sics

We are beings who exist in both
time and space As we walk to our
destination. the space we must
cover is constant and unchanging
unless we change our endpoint or
pathway Time. however. is
variable We could speed up or
slow down if we wish to decrease
or increase the time to reach our
destination

Now we all learned early in
school that the shortest distance
between two points is a straight
line .laywalkers do not need such a
lesson because they put the prin—
ciple to good use The objective for
the hardcore jaywalkers is to cover

the space between themselves and
their endpoint in the fastest time,
Therefore. they find the shortest
distance to class instead of walking
faster over more space. and since
there is probably no crosswalk
along that path they jaywalk when
coming to a street

Economics Jaywalking also
teaches us the laws of supply and
demand

Imagine Rose Street about to
minutes before morning classes
There are not enough crosswalks to
reasonably accomodate all the peo
ple wishing to get to the other side
(iiven the demand for crosswalks
exceeds the supply of crosswalks. a
shortage occurs and the high de-
mand creates its own supply of
unoffictal crosswalks

Jaywalking acts as a black mar»
ket for crosswalks. All else being
constant. officials must add more
crosswalks to solve the problem of
unofficial crosswalks

Political and Social theory -~~Jay»
walking teaches Civil disobedience

Most people find the law against
jaywalking too picky Since they do
not agree with the law. people jay~
walk anyway This is democracy in
action. Let the people rule

Besides. if everyone were not to
observe the law against jaywalk-
ing. would the law really exist"

Eventually. some politician
would react to the peoples discon~

tent and use the issue in his cam
paign

()nce elected. however. he would
break his promise to legalize jay
walking and then blame it on the
previous administration This is
politics in action' Get elected. for
get the people. and blame it on
someone else

Philosophy 1 jaywalk. there
fore I am Jay-walking helps us to
define our sense of reality

For example. as the jaywalker
crosses a street and sees a car
speeding toward him. he accepts
that car as real and gets out of the
way Now at this pomt the jaywalkr
er could accept one of many the»
ories of reality available to man.
yet he chooses to define reality as
what he sees

Have you ever wondered why
there are not that many people who
accept Plato‘s “Theory of Forms""
It‘s because as they jaywalk they
know the car speeding toward
them is not the true form of a car
and thus not as real

While they have thought about
this. the car has hit them real hard
making them real dead

Whatever the ments to jaywalk
mg. I doubt they outweigh the
points made by the [K police Be
sides they have the guns

The funding for the t‘ontinuing
