’ Jonesto wn cultists
at large in Guyana '

GEORGETOWN. ‘GL'YANA (AP)
— Survivors of the Jonestown cult
suicide. menaced by flesh-eating
piranhas and other deadly perils ofthe
tropical rain forest. eluded a manhunt
in the nearly impenetrable Guyanan
wilderness for a third day yesterday.

At thejungle site ofthe mass suicide.
the corpses of 409 members of the
American religious sect lay
decomposing in the equatorial sun.
IU.S. military officials are planning to
airlift the bodies to the United States.
but a State Department spokesman in
Washington said they instead may be
buried at the Jonestown camp if the
Guyanese government authorizes it.

“The bodies are starting to swell and
some seem ready to burst.“ said US
Embassy official Peter Londoner.
About 200 US. troops. awaiting the
arrival of a dozen helicopters. were
standing by in Georgetown for the
evacuation operation.

Estimates of the number of sect
members who fled the Jonestown
camp Saturday during the ritual of
mass self-destruction by poison

ranged from 375 to more than 775.
Stephan Jones. son of the Peoples
Temple sect‘s fanatical founder. the
Rev. Tim Jones. estimated some 500
had gone into the inhospitable forest.

Jim Jones ordered the mass suicide.
a ritual he code-named “White

‘ Knight" and which he had practiced

with his loyal followers after sect
members ambushed and killed Rep.
Leo J. Ryan of California and four
members of a Ryan-led party that
made an investigative visit to the
camp.

Jones was one ofthree persons who
died of gunshot wounds. apparently
self-inflicted. About one-quarter of
the dead were children. some babies
whose mothers reportedly fed them
the brew of Kool Aid and cyanide.

The l9-year-old Stephan Jones.
who denounced his father as a "man
obsessed." told reporters yesterday his
greatest concern now was for the well-
being of those who fled into thejungle.
apparently unwilling to destroy
themselves along with their suicidal
master.

Complex residents complain

I

By cu. LAWSON
Staff Writer

Students living in the corner rooms
of the Complex residence halls might
get a little chilly unless the Physical
Plant Division can soon install 264
new heaters in the rooms.

Last week. the Housing Office
ordered the portable heaters now in
the rooms to be confiscated because
they were considered safety hazards.

The units have been used for at least
the last three years. but a call from a
concerned parent about the heaters
apparently led to the confiscation.

Safety officer Garry Beach was
unavailable for comment. but
assistant safety officer Jerry Ulery said
the heaters were approved by
Underwriters Laboratories. but could
be hazardous if placed close to
combustible material.

Jack Blanton. business affairs vice-
president. called the heaters “very
dangerous“ and said a flaw in the
heating system made the corner rooms
inadequate.

Blanton said UK was buying the
new heaters on an emergency basis so
they could be installed before cold
weather set in. But the' said a
purchasing problem has caused a
delay in the shipment of the heaters.

Blanton said the heaters should be
installed by the beginning of the
second semester.

Jean Lindley. housing director. said
l00 of the .heaters
should arrive this week. “If they are
not all installed we will distribute the
portable heaters. We don‘t want to
create any discomfort." she said.

But some students have already
started complaining about the

Housing Office deCision.

“We think it's unfair.“ said David
Blake. zoology senior and a resident
advisor in‘ Kirwan 'l'ower. He said he
went on a tour with Blanton last winter
when Blanton decided the corner
rooms were too cold.

The heaters were removed form the.
rooms last year because of the energy
shortage.

Steve Slade. civil engineering
sophomore who lives in a corner
room. said it is now “very
uncomfortable" in his room without
the heater. “We were using the heater
and it still wasn‘t warm enough." he
said. '

But in Blanding ’low'er. head
resident Martha Royse said the
portable heaters had not been
distributed yet. “No one has requested
them. I don't think anyone is going to
freeze."

I.indley said she was surprised to
find that the heaters had been
distributed. She said she had received
four or five complaints about the
heaters.

Complex coordinater Bob Clay said
he had received about a dozen calls
from students asking about the
heaters. Clay said the heaters could be
a fire hazard and there was a legitimate
cause for concern. But he added that
the problem is about when the new
heaters would be installed.

Rosemary Pond. residence halls
dean. said her office was trying to
cooperate with the Housing office
request to take the heaters out.

But Pond said the Housing office‘s
“timing appears to be off." She said it
would have probably been better to
install the new heaters and then
confiscate the portable heaters.

A LEGISLATIVE Sl'ICOMMITTEE yesterday voted
to disaprove a 538.000 contract for a scientific adviser for the

State Sen. Ed Ford. D-Cynthiana. said the pact with Dr.
Arthur Stein of Albany. NY. did not conform to established
guidelines.

And Rep. Bruce Blyihc. R-l.ouisville. asked why a
Kentuckian could not be hired for the agency which uses
one-half cent of the state‘s cigarette tax for research on
tobacco.

Ford said Stein would have to work 7" hours daily five

by the contract under the hourly pay specifications.

THE ISRAELI CABINET gave unqualified approval
yesterday to a draft peace treaty with Egypt put forward by

Egypt recalled its chief negotiator from the talks in

unless Israel changes its position on a timetable.

“The Egyptian government is studying the situation in

Ted Grizzard relishes interviewing
football fans on local radio show

By WENDY WOOD
Staff Writer

It‘s part of the pre-game ritual for
many L'K football followers. As
they're rushing to get to
Commonwealth Stadium. they listen
to Ted Grizzard‘s conversations with
Wildcat fans on the radio show Fans in
the Stands.

He might be talking with a player‘s
dad or reporting a “proposition“ from
two elderly women. but Grizzard's
interviews always prove thatthe action
isn‘t only on the field.

For people who are not familiar
with a local radio and television
institution. some explanation is
necessary.

Ted Grizzard has been on the air for
47 years. and has been doing Fans in
the Stands since I950 ( now a pre-game
show for home football games). He‘s
one of the more original and
uninhibited men in broadcasting.
which his experience probably helps
permit.

Jim Jordan. who is now vice
president of WVLK. was originally
hired by Grizzard. “He has a
tremendous sense of humor and a
great ability to ad lib." said Jordan.
“I'd say he‘s known by 60 percent of
the people in the state.“

Grizzard is probably best-known
for the several years he spent co-
hosting "Town Talk" with June
Rollings. Although Grizzard says that

"June is a most attractive lady" and
the show was “all right.“ his real love is
working by himself. interviewing
people in a “spur of the moment“
fashion.

In the late ‘305 and ‘40s he hosted a
show similar to Fans in the Stands
called Man in the Street. The show was
aired live. Monday through Friday.
and consisted of stopping people on
the street and talking about anything
that happened to be on their minds.

One of the most interesting people
he ever met. said Grizzard. was
Alabama football Coach Paul “Bear"
Bryant. who coached at U K in the ‘50s
“He was to me the epitome of

coaching." said Grizzard.

Asked about changes in [K football
and [3K fans over the years. (irizzard
said Fran (‘urci's teams are the first
bright spot since the Bryant years. “It's
just so much better." he said. As for
fans. “they‘re more enthusiastic . . .
more life to them. devoted."

Except for the I’um m the Stands
broadcasts. Grizzard is now retired.
He said he enjoys his profession. which
he doesn't really consider work
because he enjoys talking with people.
“lfyou really listen. I mean really. and
kind of care what they say. you’ll find
that they are really interesting people.
You'll really learn something.“

Official says state tax revenue
may be less than Stove/l says

By HERBERT SPARROW

Associated Press Writer

FRANKFORT (AP) ~ State
Revenue Commissioner Maurice
Carpenter said yesterday he saw
nothing in the state‘s revenue receipts
for the fourth month of the biennium
to make him anticipate a large surplus
for the fiscal year.

Lt. Gov. Thelma Stovall. in callinga
special session of the legislature last
week to reduce taxes. projected a $2!
million surplus for the fiscal year
based on receipts from the first
quarter.

The state‘s General Fund receipts
for October were released yesterday
and showed a I48 percent growth over
the first four months of last fiscal year
tto $480.9 million.

While the Revenue Department
only makes estimates on a quarterly
,basis. Carpenter said nothing had
changed from September to make him
think there would be much ofa surplus
on hand at the end of the fiscal year
June 30. I979

“There is nothing really outstanding
there.” he said. “There is nothing really
yet to say there will be any unusually
large surplus." C arpcntcr said.

Stovall’s strategy will benefit

her interests more than ptblic’s

Good ole Thelma. What a lady.

It seems that whenever Kentucky politics needs a
lift to help it through a slow news period. Lt. Gov.
Thelma Stovall pulls a trick out of her bag of

constitutional manipulations.

Last summer. her veto of theGeneral Assembly‘s
Equal Rights Amendment recision brought
Kentucky national prominence and sent lawyers
scurrying to their copies of the state constitution to
determine the legality of the move. it was. with the
Attorney General offering a clarifying statement
saying the lieutenant governor may exercise all the
powers granted to the governor when the top State

official is out of the state.

Last Friday. she was in top form again. After

 

LT. GOV. THEIMA STOVALL

months of plotting and waiting for Gov. .lulian

Carroll to leave the state. Stovall _, using her
powers as acting governor — announced she was
calling a special session of the General Assembly to

examine the state‘s tax structure for the purpose of

making cuts.

Still. it‘s hard to fault Stovall‘s reasoning. Tax
cuts are needed in the state and the lieutenant
governor has pinpointed thelogical areas to make
the cuts. But with an opening date of Dec. ll.
legislators ~— many of whom are gearing up for re-
election drives —-

' adequate information and proposals necessary for

will be hard pressed to assemble

responsible action.

strategy.

Stovall has also stumbled into the same pratfall
_ that has angered Californians and plagued the
implementation of the infamous Proposition l3.
She has proposed areas where revenues could be
cut. but is silent on the second step of the operation;
which services to discontinue as a result of the
decreased budget.

The secrecy in the planning of the “call to the
halls.“ and her refusal to inform Carroll of her
actions tend to support the belief that the
announcement was made purely for the political
benefit that Stovall will undoubtably derive from it.

The gubernatorial candidate has now assured
herself of several days‘ free air time when the session
begins. since she is President of the state senate. And
~ no matter how hard the other candidates may try
to push their views in the meeting —— if any of the
suggested measures are approved. Stovall can
rightfully establish a claim to them.

Stovall may indeed have the best interests of the
taxpayer at heart but her latest coup comes off
sounding like just another piece of campaign

Punk spirit

1 found Carolynn Conner‘s article
on the punk rock scene in London. in
the Nov. l4 Kernel. very disturbing.
Why did she write this article when she
obviously knew very little about punk
rock and was extremely biased about
what she did know. Near the end of her
article she redeemed herself somewhat
by asking the question: ‘What breeds
the punk spirit?

This spirit arises from the social;

political. and economic enviroment of
England. The punks feel they have no
future hope of success or prosperity.
The l960‘s with its sOcial reforms have
come and gone with little change.
These people are still living in
“squalor" and “sord id flats.“ but not of
their own choosing. They see their
Queen living comfortably with many
servants in a fine palace. The punks.

‘ o

 

 

feeling that no one listens to protests
anymore. took a more drastic step.
They have become protest. The Sex
Pistols did not advocate anarchy. they
were anarchy. The punks have become
the embodiment of what they feel
England‘s new generation of working
class has to look forward to.

The punks are neither lost nor
searching as Ms. Conner suggests.
They have found their niche for better
or worse. just as the disco people have.
They have their own particular habits
and manner of dress. just as
fraternities and sororities do.

Ms. Conner begins to talk about the
London scene. but plays American
punk for Dr. lvay. Most of the
American punk is mass produced by
Time -» Life. Inc. and record
companies. Much of this.“music" is
without sincere feeling behind it.
There are exeptions. as Ms. Conner
points out. Patti Smith has reason and
purpose behind her musical
expressions.

Obviously. punk rock is nothing
new or exeptional musically. But

'Appalling disgrace

It is an appalling disgrace not only
on the part of UK Police but also the
recreation department and campus as
a whole when events occur such as the
one last Sunday. How long is this
blatant disrespect going to continue? I
am here referring to the assault on
Kathy and Kevin Flynn at the Seaton
Center. What a shame it is. when two
people. seeking only a place to jog. at a
facility intended for that purpose
cannot do so without expecting to be
attacked for this. To make matters
worse. the three men responsible will
probably go unapprehended and the
rights of innocent people will probably
persist in violation. We do not
anticipate any arrests being made by
Sgt. Maxberry nor do we expect the
director of campus recreation to feign
action. making the witless

understatement in Monday‘s
Lexington Leader.

'Caesar': MacArthur in print

AMERICAN-CAESAR
By William Manchester
(Little Brown and C o. )

,This biography of General
Douglas MacArthur is a
lengthy book. but MacArthur
lived for 94 years. His career
began as a plebe at West Point
around the time of the Spanish-
American War and ends at
Walter Reed Army Hospital
with the General advising LBJ
not to send troops into
Vietnam. In between come
World Wars I and II and a
“police ' action" in Korea.
MacArthur has a dashing.
decisive or controversial role to
play in all of them.
MacArthur‘s style needs
such a subject. The opening
sentence reads: “He was a great
thundering paradox of a man.
noble and ignoble. inspiring
and outrageous. arrogant and
shy, the best of men and the
worst of men. the 'most
protean. most ridiculous. and
most sublime.“ His is hardly
the voice of a careful historian
putting his subject into
perspective. Cut out all those
adjectives and this 700-page
book could be reduced to 500.
Indeed if the words
“paranoia“ and ”genius“ were
eliminated from Manchester's
vocabulary. both the reader

and MacArthur would be
better served. The author uses
those two terms as a substitute
for understanding the General.
He is at his best explaining
MacArthur‘s tactical successes
in the Sourth Pacific during
World War II and at his worst
trying to describe MacArthur‘ s
personality.

Mr. Manchester‘s prose can
be best be compared to World
War I. which was also a long
haul. Quotations bristle like

barbwire. Blasted by rhetoric. ‘

the poor reaer has no trench to
hide in. The book is like one
long charge over the top into
no-man‘s land. What makes it
