Devotees say itxbrings sublime awareness

W BETSY PEARCE
WMHWM

To some people, tramcendental
meditatim (TM) brings to mind
rooms fogged with incense and the
frantic strains of sitar music played
by bearded gurus.

To Steve McCool, president of
UK's Students international
Meditation Society (SIMS) this is a
popular misconception he’d like to
discourage.

“TM is a simple, natural mental
technique that requires almost no
effort” and minimal self-discipline,
said McCool. He stressed that it is
not a religion, ideology or lifestyle,
or an etercise in concentration and
contemplation.

“It’s a way of taking the mind into
subtler states of awareness while
providing deep rest. From that, an
individual has more potential to
third: and act.”

40,000 new meditators a month

The idea must be catching on. TM
promotiors claim there are forty
thousand new devotees every
month.

However, TM is no cheap
proposition. The course fee is $55 for
high school students, $65 for college
students and $125 for working adults.

The course, which is now offered
in practically every college town in
America, is composed of seven steps

and take about a week to learn.

The first two lessons are in-
troductory and preparatory lec-
tures, providing information about
TM and what one may expect from
it. Tire third lesson is an introduction
to the student’s instructor.

It takes about half an hour to learn
the actual TM technique, which is
first experimced during the fourth
lesson

The last three lessons, called
Validatim and Verification, provide
the student with increased
knowledge about the technique and
how to most effectively utilize it.

1520 mkrutes per day

For maximum results, TM should
be practiced 15 to 20 minutes twice a
day; in the morning and evening.

Psycholtgical arrl physiological
benefits may be derived from
practicing TM, said McCool. “It
alleviates a lot of stress in the
central nervous system which aids
in clearer thinking.”

McCool said he’s never heard of

anyme being dissatisﬁed with TM,
and that personally, he’s reaped
great benefits during his one and a
half years of meditating.

“I get along better with people and
I enjoy school more," he said. “I
have much more energy.”

Research has shown that TM
promotes self-actualization, which
means a “person living humanity’s

highest values," said McCool. Also,
studies indicate better grades in
school and a decrease in drug use
among TM practitioners.

Physical functions improve

An article in the February, 1972
issue of Scientific American found
that metabolic rate and oxygen
consumption for an average
meditator during a 15-20 minute
period decrease by 16 per cent.
Breath rate also decreases by 10-12
per cent on the average.

During meditation, there is a
marked change in cardiac output—
the heart wrrks 34 per cent less. TM
also increases reaction time after

meditation by 35 per cent, indicating
an increased awareness, rather than
tranquilized dullness.

“It‘s a restful alertness,” said
Carol Carlisle, chairperson of
Lexington SIMS, located at449 South
Ashiand.

Besides serving Lexington, SIMS
conducts courses at many colleges
in central Kentucky at various times
during the year. Every Wednesday
night thereare introductory lectures
at the Lexington office, and courses
are held Friday through Monday.

Students are the focus of the TM
movemert, mid Carlisle, although
“in the last two years most of the
resporse has been from the adult
society.”

UK has “potential"

Carlisle said that “UK’s a place
with a lot of potential that hasn’t
been tapped yet.”

The UK chapter meets
periodically for lectures on TM
innovations and sponsors special
programs regarding TM.

On February 28 it is sponsoring a
special introductory lecture at 7:30
pm. in the Classroom Building,
room 118.

There are approximately 100
students in UK’s SIMS chapter and
an additional 700 meditators in the
Iexington area, said Carlisle.

As part of what Carlisle calls a
“new approach” to attract students,

a Belesson videotape course will be
offered by SIMS at the Lexington
Center beginning March 6.

The course, which will offer a
“ma-e academic approach to the
science of creative intelligence" (as
TM is sanetimes called) will meet
three nights a week for 10 weeks.
Carlisle will be teaching the course,
along with a student from Maharishi
Internatimal University, an Iowa.
based TM college.

Although the course is open to the
public, it is not free. There is a $125
charge for students, 8150 for adults.

McCool says there's really noting
to TM and urges everyone to con-
sider it. “If you can think a thought
you can meditate.”

an independent student newspaper

Newman: enter the conservative

By KEN KAGAN
Kernel Staff Writer

Terry Newman is, by his own
admision, the most conservative
candidate in the Lexington mayoral
race.

Calling himself a “dyed-in-the-
wool conservative,” the UK Social
Work grad student formally an-
nounced his candidacy Feb. 19 at
“the urging of my family and
friends. Three weeks ago I had
absolutely no idea I would run," he
said

Cmservatism to Newman means
fiscal resporsibility, and the idea

that “change must be initiated in a
thoughtful way, and that we must
move slowly when spending tax-
payers’ dollars.” 4

Asked if there is a contradiction in
movirg quickly and thoughtfully,
Newman said, “That’s a conflict I
have with my personal and
profesional identification. I know
that there are liberal strains in me,
but deep inmy heart and soul, l’m a
conservative."

Asks to be included in investigation

Newman has asked Robert
Stephens, Kentucky Attorney

General, to include him in that of-
fice’s investigation of charges made
by Rep. Carroll Hubbard.

Hubbard charged Feb. 14 that a
Lexington mayoral candidate
pressured coal operators in Eastern
Kentucky for campaign con-
tributions.

Stephers has excused Newman
from the investigation, because
Newman‘s candidacy was an-
nounced ﬁve days after Hubbard’s
charges were made. Newman denies
his requst is needlessly expensive
and irrespons'ble. “In the interest of
fairness, i should be included in the
investigation along with everyone
else,” he said.

Background in social work

“My training is in socialwork. The
early history of social work involved
a recognition that the growth of
capitalism was pushing aside
people’s needs. Social work, unlike
institutions like the Salvation Army,
works by directing resources to
alleviate problems.

“When I take my perspective on
service-related activities and tie
that to my belief that a mayor is the
city‘s leading public servant, i
believe that my academic and
professional qualifications make me

; the diffaent choice for mayor."

Newman considers his a populist

‘ candidacy. “I could look to the needs

of the millionaires, the Cincinnati

TERRY NEWMAN
. . . advocates referendums

developers, or the needs of power
politics, but I’m looking at the needs
of the populace in Lexington.

“I'm amazed at the number of
decisions which co-opt the good
opinions of the people of Lexington.
The civic center for instance, was
handled badly not so much because
the center itself is bad, but because
no one bdhered to ask the people
what they thought. People are smart
enough to rule their own destinies."

Every candidate in this race has
spoken of the lack of leadership
demonstrated by the present ad-
ministration, and each has
suggested that he can offer
Lexington the needed leadership.
Butnone of them have agreed on the
meaning of the word “leadership.”

US. Rep. Carroll Hubbard (D-lst Dist.) has
been crying wolf for the last two weeks, but, so
far, nobody has seen “hide nor hair” of the

During 3 Feb. 14 press conference, Hubbard
blasted the Carroll administration for pressuring
Kentucky coal mine operators to contribute to an
”unnamed” Lexington mayoral candidate. After
dropping his bomb, Hubbard refused to

received contributions from strip mine

Although the investigation is confidential, it

has been reported that all of the candidates have
denied receiving any such money. Un-
fortunately, the investigation is being ham-

perred by Hubbard’s refusal to cooperate.

According to Stephens, Hubbard has failed to
respond to a letter asking for him to give names,
dates and places. Hubbard also refuses to give
details or to say whether he will cooperate in the
attorney general’s investigation.

When Carroll returned to Kentucky earlier this

week he called Hubbard’s charges ridiculous.
“He is going to have to stand up at some point
and say he made the statement without basis of
fact or that ‘here are the facts,’ ”

Carroll told TheLouisville Courier-Journal.“I
haven’t talked to anybody since I got back . . .

. who thinks he has any information at all.”
One reason Hubbard has given for not being into the
cooperative is that he thinks Stephens, because
he is a member of the Carroll administration,
will not be objective. If Hubbard really does have

information of improper

solicitations, and if he really doubts Stephens’
objectivity, then there are several legal options

availible.

The list of local, state and federal prosecutors
that would be interested in inVestigating the
charges is nearly endless. Surely, Hubbard can
find one that he considers objective.

Since Hubbard has indicated more than a
passing interest in running for governor in 1979,
his attack on the Carroll administration is not
really a surprise. He faces stiff opposition from

Although, the candidate isn’t named, it’s not to
difficult to figure out that Hubbard is referring to
James Amato, who is the only candidate to have
served in the Carroll administration. Amato was
appointed by Carroll to head the state’s Alcoholic
Beverege Control commission, a position he
dropped to run for mayor.

So far, however, Carroll has not endorsed any
of the mayoral candidates.

Hubbard’s charges a political cheap shot, since

he is resorting to unsubstantiated name calling.

If Hubbard can prove misconduct on the part of

the Carroll administration, then he should do so.
As the saying goes, either putup or shut up.

an understatement to call

What's obscene?

Limits equal censorship

Your editorial condemning the
prison sentence of Larry Flynt
(Kernel, Feb. 14) for publishing a
magazine is welcome. However, you
fall into the same quagmire as the
courts when you seem to approve
censorship at the newsstand: “A

minimum age (say, 14) could be
established for the right to purchase,
and regulations could be adopted to
ensure that allegedly obscene ma
terial isn’t openly displayed to those
who wish to avoid it."

Who would decide what is “alleg-
cdly obscene“? A committee from
1“." anti-porn league or the chair of
ti» .cal Civil Liberties Union? How
about that local official in Franklin,
a, .. who issued an order sweeping
the girlie magazines out of the
stores? Or how about giving the job
toyou‘.’

Would you decree that Playboy

and Penthouse must go under the
counter? Then how about Viva?
Then there is that whole lurid rack of
women’s porn under titles such as
“Blazing Romances”.

Would you make it illegal for a
woman to send her child to the
dugstore to buy the latest issue of
'lbrrid Romances so she could read
the fictional stories about the girl
who was raped by her brother-in-
law?

How about Cosmopolitan? It has
been going toward porn in recent
years and there certainly must be
many people who are offended by
the low cuts shown on the cover.

A regulation prohibiting display of
a magazine is a powerful force of
censorship. A retailer whose Play-
boy went under the counter for a few
months told me his sales fell by
more than one half.

To force Cosmopolitan or any
«her popular magazine under the
counter by law in any substantial

portion of its retail outlets is to I

guarantee whatever change in its
cover and contents needed to get it
tack on the rack.

The anti-porn crusaders would be
delighted but many other Americans
would be repelled by the idea of
having local government officials
coerce the publishers of magazines
regarding their content.

Consumer focus. ., .

Law suit not the only way to solve repair rip-offs

One d the things they tell you in
law school is that many cases could
be handled a lot more easily if the
client would come to the lawyer in
the beginning rather than wait until

the situation gets so serious that only
a lawsuit can straighten it out.

This is probably just another way
of saying the old maxims, “A stitch
in time . . or “An ounce of
prevention . . .”

For the person who is so embroiled
in legal difficulties that he finds he
mustpay a lawyer to help straighten
them out, there are some avenues of
relief. Arbitration with the other
parties is often the first step. Too
often, though, the final remedies
involve use d the court system.

In the area of auto repair, the
solution is not nearly so clearcut.
Even though a bill may be very high
or the repairs seem needless, the
customer is seldom so aggrieved as
to require the legal hassle and ex-
perue of a lawsuit. The aggrieved
auto owner may also be disap-
pointed to discover that other places

to which he thought he could turn do
not offer relief, either.

The American Automobile
Association is one example. Many of
us are familiar with the little “AAA”
emblem m moteland service station
advertising. By belonging to one of
the club’s afﬁliates, a member can
plan trips, locate emergency help
and otherwise enjoy the use of his
car.

But the AAA neither regulates nor
oversees the prices charged by its
member stations. The theory is that
the individual owner knows what his
time is worth and should, under the
free enterprise system, be able to
charge for the value of that time.

AAA members who feel they have
been cheated, however, should
register their complaints (in
writing) with Lynn Wiseman, Road
Service Manager for the Bluegrass
Automobile Association. Wiseman
will then call the station and
determine how the charge was
made, and will sometimes be able to
provide a remedy.

Another agency you might con-
sider is the Better Business Bureau
(BBB). If you‘re concerned with the
rates the station has charged you for
labor, though, you’re likely to again
be disappcsnted.

“Unless it’s fraud,” Helen Jones.
Operational Manager of the local
BBB said, “we never enter into what

a person charges. We emphasize
preventative practices. It is best to
call the BBB before you take your
car to get it ﬁxed.”

Jones also commented on the right
of the businessman to charge what
he feels is a fair rate for his services.
If, however, the customer feels he
was charged too much, an appeal
process is available.

“Before we take the complaint,"
Jones said, also emphasizing that it
be in writing, “we ask that they talk
to someone in authority. Perhaps
they’ve talked to an employe and
there was a misunderstanding.

“If the problem still can’t be
resolved we can secure mediation.
We get someone else in the business
to evaluate the job that was done.
These people do notk now whose jobs
they’re assessing, and they’ll give us
an honest opinion.”

Many pecple ﬁnd still another
route by u sing the toll-free consumer
hotline. This is operated by the
Kentucky Consumer .Protection
Division in Frankfort and is
designed to be the consumer's link to
state enforcement of the consumer
laws.

0f the thousancb of calls received
in the fouryears the hotline has been
in operation, motor vehicle corn-
plasits lave far outnumbered any
other area. One thing should be
remembered, however, when using
this agency.

We meant to say that establish-
ments promoting “pomographic”
material could advertise their exist-
ence without openly displaying their
wares. We thought this kind of

The law under which it operates
prohibits “unfair, false, misleading,
or deceptive acts or practices.” If
there is simply a business misun-
derstanding, this agency does not
have the power to help.

One more agency which will lend
some aid in this area will be the
small claims court. This court will
begin operation next January and
will handle complaints with a value
up to $500. It will involve a filing fee
of $10. The rest of the procedure will
involve telling your side of the story
to a judge who may provide some
relief.

In most cases, however, none of
these afta‘the-fact remedies would
be necessary if the consumer en-
tered the tramaction with his eyes
open. Unfortumtely, many people
spend more time trying to save a few
cents 'm the supermarket than they
do trying to determine what it'll cost
to fix their car.

The best advice is simply to shop
around. Negotiation and in-
vestigation before you take your car
in can save some painful surprises
and hopefuﬂy even some money.

Thanks Deans

There are two men serving the
University community who, we
think, have not been thanked for the
incredible job they have done in
crganizing, divising, and admini-
strating the basketball ticket distri-
bution this year.

Deans Joe Burch and Lynn Will-
iamson created a system that was as
fair, simple and equitable as it could
be, especially in its first year of
operation. Add to that the great
interest generated by being ranked
mmber two in the nation, and
imagine trying to keep thousands of
animalistic students under some
sort of control.

Those men somehow managed to
(b so once again this weekend as a
record number of students con-
verged on Memorial Coliseum to get
tickets for Kentucky's last two
(regular season! ) home games.

Like some of those students,
Burch and Williamson were up most
d the night, minus any Jack Daniels
to keep warm (at least they told us
that). We realize that that’s what
they get paid to do, but we would like
to thank them publicly, anyway.

Recycle

You really wanted a live tree for
Christmas but dead ones are easier
to take care of. They run on
electricity. And you sometimes let
the counter girls at McDonald's
clean up your pound of paper
wrappings. No hard feelings. And
every week it’s new grocery bags at
Air? while 139 are becoming com-
post under the kitchen sink.

You really love trees—that's why
you kill them; it’s the only show in
town. We’re a nation of unemployed
lumberjacks. After the six o'clock
news you can stand out on your
porch and hear the sound a falling
tree makes in an empty forest.

“Timberr.”

Newman prefers
conservatism

Continued from page 1

Terry Newman feels that
leadership does not
necessarily require strong
advocacy. instead, he would
use referendums to offer
voters the opportunity to
make their own decisions.

One example of a possible
referendum issue is the
recent Paris Pike con-
troversy, in which approval
was given to widen the road,
creating a majm' highway.
The construction would
destroy picturesque and
historic scenery alongside the
road.

‘Govemment has turned a
deaf ear on a group of people
pleading for historic main-
tenance d the beautiful Paris
Pike area. I was raised near
there, so I have a personal
viewpoint.

“A leader must have a
value. My value is people. My
campaign will focus entirely
on human problems, human

Handicapped patrons

concerns, human issues,
human needs. That’s all I
have to offer.”

Will campaign on personal
basis

Because he doesn’t have
the many thousands of dollars
to campaign on the same
level as some of his op
ponents, Newman said he
hopes he can reach people on
a personal basis, and he
hopes potential voters will
write to him with suggestions.

Newman’s announced
campaign opponents are Joe
Gravs, state senator; James
Amato, former municipal
court judge and com-
missioner of the state
Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board; Scotty Baesler, vice
mayor and Urban County
Council member; and
Nicholas Martin, state
coordinator of last fall’s
Eugene McCarthy
presidential campaign.

criticize Rupp Arena

Continued from page 1

“There are people in
wheelchairs who have been to
one game at Rupp Arena and
not gone back,” he said.

Another thorn in their side,
say wheelchair patrons, has
been a seeming ignorance on
the part of Arena employees
(such as gate attendants).

One student, Rick Eisert,
arrived at a game earlier in
the season and was denied
entrance at the turnstile
because the attendant did not
know if he should move the
tumstile to’létmert in. As a
result, Eisert was left sitting
in the rain outside the Arena
while the attendant sought
permission.

“This has been a big
problem;” Seymour said,
“many times the employees
simply did not know what the
arrangements were.” Since
the Eisert incident, a special
gate has been set aside for
wheelchair ticketholders, but
the problems persist.

The seating problem has
been the biggest for
whelchair patrons at the
Arena. In old Memorial
Coliseum, the wheelchair-
bound students sat on the
court level and their guests
were afforded seating behind
them. Not mly is there not
enough wheelchair seating at
Rupp Arena, there '6 vir-
tually none for their guests.

Jacob Kames, director of

the department of Human
Relations, is also dissatisfied
with the facilities at Rupp
Arena. According to Karnes,
he was part of a group that
was shown the proposed
seating for handicapped
patrons before the season
began.

“At that time, there were
about 80 spaces on the floor
and about 24 up in the rear of
the end zone. When we got
there for the ﬁrst game, we
found that the floor seating
had been replaced by press
tablts, and the only seating
was in the end zone.”

Karnes also said he was
displeased with the transition
from the Coliseum to Rupp
Arena.

“Since the Coliseum was
built in 1950, there really were
no facilities for wheelchair
students. We just did the best
we could. When the new
arena was announced, we
assumed that it would have
ideal facilities"

Karnes said the students
are disappa'nted, and that
some have never even gone to
the Arena, “because word
gets around. These things can
be worked out, though, and
we feel that they will be."

The ﬁrst step in getting
those problems worked out is
to get attention, and that is
just what the students will be
doing at Rupp Arena at this
Saturday‘s basketball game.
