Truck strike

Kernel Sta if Writer

The independent trucking strike may
present a major problem to consumers of
all types. Bookstores, grocery stores and
even the University could be affected if
some solution is not reached soon.

Larry Forgy. vice president for business
affairs, said he couldn‘t say it was af-
fecting the University any way as of right

ow.

“FOR THE past six months we have had
delays in trucking. but this is due to nor-
mal supply and demand.“ he said.

“Practically everything we get comes by

truck 80 it would affect us as it would any
normal consumer."

“Also most of our large commodities
come from large trucking companies.“ he
added. “it is the independent truckers who
are on strike and not the teamsters'
union.“

“We do have a small stockpile of things
such as office supplies and cleaning
supplies.“ he continued. “We can‘t go
shopping in the five and dime to obtain
goods because the state does the majority
of buying for the University.“

ALLEN RIEMAN. food services
director. said through Monday food ser-
vices were not affected.

“Most of our supplies are in for the

'rest of the semester. except for meat

which we get in weekly." he said. “We

have a 30 to 90 day supply on hand. What

AFTER M l't‘ll discussion about posting
some students’ grade point averages in
several dormitories. a committee was
formed to investigate the matter at the
Student Senate meeting Wednesday night.

A resolution criticizing the grades being
posted was not adopted because several
senators expressed the need to find out
more about the practice before any action
be taken.

Also spurring much discussion among
senators was the deicison to finance the
posters for Free University classes. The
money. $187.50. was allocated but several
Student Government officials questioned
Free US request.

said his main objection was the lack of
respect from Free U to the Student Senate.

Arts and Science senator BJ. Dollase
said she objected to the tone being used by
the senate against Free U and thought the
senate should be more cooperative. The
senate funded the full amount requested
by Free U.

we get in is just replenishing what we
use."

“We have frozen fruits and vegetables
on hand to run the rest of the school year,"
added Rieman. "But there could con-
ceivably be a shortage of fresh produce by
Friday. But there is no indication as of
yet.“

RIEMAN SAID he keeps a three to seven
day supply of fresh produce because the
produce trucks aren't getting through at
the (‘incinnati and Louisville produce
terminals.

In other business. the senators voted to
support a (‘ourselector service that would
evaluate about 500 elective classes.

rm: FRI-2E pamphlet will be compiled
by a private firm and will be financed
solely by advertising.

The recommendation includes
author'aation for an initial contract bet-
ween Courselector. SG and the senate for
promotion of the project.

A representative from Courselector told
senators the first issue would have in-
structors describing their courses with
later editions including student input. He
said the purpose of the pamphlet was not to
evaluate teachers but will only include a
synopsis of the course.

A FORMER MOTION to purge Allied
Health senator Stephanie Brown was
reconsidered after Brown explained the
reasons for her absences. Brown was
reinstated as a senator by a unanimous
vote.

The senate also voted to appoint seven
persons suggested by SC to serve on the
election board.

A recommendation was made to remove
any sexist articles. nouns and pronouns
from the University's Governing
Regulations. A list of changes was sup-
ported by the senate and may be presented

OA'LEXANDRIA. Va. — A three-judge
panel disbarred former presidential
counsel John W. Dean lll Wednesday for
what it called unethical, unprofessional
and unwarranted conduct in the Watergate

The 35-year-old Dean, who has pleaded

OFRANKl-‘ORT — A Senate-approved

The resolution calls on Congress to grant
the unborn the same constitutional and

similar resolution has been introduced in
the House and has been stalled in the
House Judiciary Committee.

The Senate resolution was approved 34-4

Senatorial insensibility

With the passage of SB 69 in Tuesday’s session, the
Kentucky state Senate has shown it is unwilling to
cooperate with the Council on Public Higher
Education. The bill, calling for the establishment of a
school of veterinary medicine at Murray State
University, is also a clear example of selfishness and
irresponsibility on the part of a group of meddling

Bluegrass politicians.

Sidestepping a recommendation by the Council to
leave the matter alone, the Senate passed the
measure 23-9. This action was irresponsible in that
only 40 copies of the Council’s recent survey,
“Prospectus on the status of veterinary services and
veterinary education programs in Kentucky“, were
circulated before the vote; only a few Senators ac-

tually saw a copy.

Although the Council agrees there is a need for
more veterinarians in the state, construction of a
facility is not the preferred solution. Instead, the
Council would like to place more Kentuckians at
veterinary schools in Ohio, Louisiana, Alabama,

Georgia and Florida.

On top of sidestepping the Council‘s wishes, the
Senate also disregarded a request by the Southern
Regional Educational Board (SREB) asking that
member states hold off plans for constructing
veterinary schools until regional manpower needs

have been established.

In this illogical decision, the Senate may have
irreparably damaged the independence of the
Council. Since its inception, the Council has worked
independent of the legislature. It is composed of in-

telligent educators with

a solid background for

solving the pressing problems of higher education.
The Senate proposal was an insult to the Council’s
sincere determination to strengthen higher education

in Kentucky.

High class criminals going to the calaboose

WASHINGTON—The Federal
penitentiaries are about to get a
higher class of criminal than
those who have been causing the
correctional authorities so much
trouble in recent years. Instead
of the black bank robber with bad
teeth and a vicious attitude. or
incorrigible, loud~mouthed.
radical Catholic priests. the
WASPS are going to the
calaboose.

The first was E. Howard Hunt,
but his years with the CM had
twisted him into something the
rest of us salmon faces can‘t
easily identify with. Egil (Budi
Krogh, however, is perfect. so
white and middle class he could
make Dristan commercials.

Egil Bud, you may remember.
was the boss of The Plumbers
who was sentenced to six months
in jail a few days ago. The judge
stayed execution to give him a
little time to straighten up his
affairs and appear with his
blonde wife and his two charming
blond children on a television
show where (’BS's redoubtable
Mike Wallace interviewed him

EVEN WALLACE, THOL'GH
wasn‘t able to get Egil Bud to
explain what was going through
his head when he ordered the
famous burglary of the Los
Angeles psychiatrist's office. Not
that Egil Bud isn‘t profusely
contrite. Judged by his words, he
would seem a promising can-
didate for rehabilitation, doubly
so since of all Richard Nixon’s
White House Horribles. Krogh
enjoys the best reputation.
People who daydream about
pulling Richard Nixon‘s
fingernails out apply adjectives
like decent, honorable, kind.
honest and truthful to Egil Bud.

But if they're right, there is no
point in sending the man to jail.
He is not a fit candidate for
punishment or rehabilitation. His
problem and ours is that he
suffers from hopelessly bad
judgment and you don't put
people with bad judgment in jail;
you just don‘t give them
responsible positions.

Yet it seems our government is
swarming with people with a
fatally deficient grasp on reality.

Ability to change

The ability of students to affect
a change at this University has
not diminished. The efforts of
Student Government leaders,
dorm officers, and dorm
residents brought about the
recent defeat of the proposed
meal plan by the Business Affairs
office. Under the pressure of
letters to The Kernel and the
Board of Trustees, the organized

officers go down the line in-
specting every “cavity" for the
feared contraband.

Introduced into the record was
a written order by a Marvin D.
Llewellyn, light colonel of in-
fantry, which said:

“Burning candles is not
authorized. Psychedelic lights
are prohibited...no anti-
American, anti-Army, anti-
religious, or politically oriented
posters or pictures are
authorized. Pornographic
displays will not be allowed.
Examples of such include the
depicting of sexual intercourse
and the lewd display of the
genitals. Centerfold pictures of
Playboy and other similar
photographs are not considered
in this category.”

lights in Junior High anymore.
never mind that the poster

drug epidemic is over, an Army
officer who spends his days
drawing distinctions in sexy

opposition of dorm governments,
the expressed willingness to
attend the January 29th Board
meeting in mass, and the largely
negative response to the proposal
indicated in the Student
Government-Dean of Students
poll, the administration agreed to
withdraw the proposal.

Only through such cooperative
student efforts was the proposal
thwarted, and only through such
efforts will students continue to
affect change at this university.
Those students who participated
in this campaign must be
congratulated, with the
realization that an aware and
active student body will insure
student gains in the future.

Colonel Llewellyn will make a

Our government is loaded with
men who can‘t understand that
the odds are against everyone
being a spy, a traitor, a security
risk or an enemy of the state.
Every organization must suffer a
certain number of officials who
live by delusion, but we have so
many that to survive sensible
men must play the fool.

The admiral and the colonel
and 10,000 others remain at their
posts while the luckless Egil Bud
goes to jail, but neither jail nor
school nor therapy can mend
them. One by one, some day soon,
they must be led to positions
where their ardent stupidities
and pure-hearted blunders injure
none but themselves.

Search the cornflakes

By N ELI. MCCAFFERTY

LONDONDERRY, Northern Ireland—
On Boxing Day the family in No. 14
noticed that the key to their front
door had been removed from the lock,
shortly after a British Army foot
oatrol had passed. On New Year’s Eve,
shortly after another foot patrol
passed, the key to No. )6 was missing,
and also to our house, No. 8.

My mother rang the army and asked
them to return the keys. As a matter
of fact, said an officer, one of his foot
patrol had indeed found two keys
lying in the gutter at midnight. He
would send them down. A six-man
foot patrol in jungle fatigues and with
blackened faces carrying loaded rifles
came to return the keys they had
found in the darkened street.

One of the keys fitted No. 14. We
rang the army and asked how the key
to 14, which had been missing for a
week, had been found alongside the
key to No. 8, which had been missing
for a day, and how they had found
them at the exact same spots, and
where by the way was the key to
No. 16?

No comment from the army.

Next morning at 7 AM. the foot
patrol appeared in the back lane armed
with a ladder and they climbed over
the wall and into all the yards. They
were looking for something, they said.

That night a friend who was coming
to our house was stopped, arrested
and questioned for two hours about
the occupants.

On the following day the army
appeared in our street at 8:30 A.M.,
rang our bell and said they wished
to search my mother's house. “Why
didn't you use your copy of my key
and not be getting me out of my bed?"
my mother asked. They came in and
went out to the backyard with their
tracker dog, and he sniffed around the
bushes.

One soldier stood at the front door
with his gun and refused access to all
visitors. One officer stood at the
kitchen door with his gun and sur-
veyed the family. Two soldiers with
guns searched the bedrooms, and their
leashed dog sniffed about. They read
my books and my letters and went
through the wardrobe and under the
mattresses and prodded stuffed teddy—
bears. They read my sisters' love let-
ters, briefly.

I asked the officer which regiment
he represented and he refused to
answer. Special Powers. Who were
we? And We had to answer. Special
Powers. The officer called us “love."
Special Powers.

The two soldiers came down and

went into the bathroom, and looked
under the bath plug. They searched
the cornflakes. They looked into the
washing machine. They examined the
icebox. They looked up the chimney
in the kitchen. "Have a titter of wit,"
said my mother, “would I have
geligniie up there and me with the
fire lit?"

Would I get up from the sofa while
they searched the cushions? They
looked in the teapot. “Have a titter
of wit," said my mother. They had once
found an armalite in a man‘s wooden
leg. said the officer. “Have a titter
of wit." said my mother, and she went
out to the bathroom where I saw
her giggle.

The two soldiers looked through her
books. “Those are my debt books and
they are priyate,” said my mother.
Nothing is private, said the officer.
Special Powers. “Kindly return them
in the order in which the debt men
come," said my mother.

The officer picked up a shiny car-
tridge case from the mantlepiece. “You
wouldn’t take an empty shell," said
my mother, “sure have a titter of
wit." The soldier noted the number
of the old shell. “The brass in that
cartridge is as good as the brass in
your neck," said my mother.

The two soldiers were looking
through the sugar bowl. We were in
dressing gowns and they were in jun-
gle fatigues and big boots. We had
tea and toast and they had Special
Powers and guns. The soldiers were
examining my mother's letters. “Would
you do that in your own mother's
house?" asked my mother. “This isn't
my mother's house." said one soldier,
continuing to read.

l’hey examined the telephone in the
hall. “Is it working?" the officer asked.
“Do you think it‘s an ornament? Have
a litter of wit," said my mother.

A sold‘cr removed the ferns from
the \ase and shone his torch inside.
He replaced the ferns one by one,
“You would make a good house-
keeper," said my mother.

They asked her to sign a form stat.
ing that no damage had been caused.
The soldier wrote, incorrectly. that the
search had commenced at 9:55 AM.
and be neglected to say when it had
ended. “Sure they haven‘t a titter of
wit." said my mother.

Then they removed themselves and
their boots and thcir guns and the
Special Powers and their sniffing dog
from our house. On the way out they
wishczl us a happy new year.

Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Thomas
Moorer. the chap who had his
yeoman spying on Henry
Kissinger. Putting aside
questions of decorum and orderly
procedure. an American admiral
who spies on the Secretary of
State lacks the judgment to know
who the enemy is and when he is
taking an unacceptable risk,
which is Pentagonian for taking
fool chances.

defective sagacity, imagine what
dippy goings-on we can expect to
find in the lower ranks. Not long
ago a Federal court case gave us
a chance to find out when the
judge had issued an order telling
the Army to stop bedeviling
enlisted men suspected of
smoking pot or being friends with
soldiers who smoked pot.

The evidence developed in
court showed that the Army was
practicing something it called
“The Full (‘ourt Press" on its
own men. This consists of or-

Ability to change

The ability of students to affect
a change at this University has
not diminished. The efforts of
Student Government leaders,
dorm officers, and dorm
residents brought about the
recent defeat of the proposed
meal plan by the Business Affairs
office. Under the pressure of
letters to The Kernel and the
Board of Trustees, the organized

naked as jay birds while the
officers go down the line in-
specting every ”cavity“ for the
feared contraband.

Introduced into the record was
a written order by a Marvin D.
Llewellyn. light colonel of in-
fantry, which said:

“Burning candles is not

authorized. Psychedelic lights
are prohibited...no anti-
American, anti—Army, anti-

religious, or politically oriented
posters or pictures are
authorized...Pornographic

displays will not be allowed.
Examples of such include the

"depicting of sexual intercourse

and the lewd display of the
genitals. Centerfold pictures of
Playboy and other similar
photographs are not considered
in this category.“

don‘t even have psychedelic
lights in Junior High anymore.

the expressed willingness to
attend the January 29th Board
meeting in mass, and the largely
negative response to the proposal
indicated in the Student
GovernmentvDean of Students
poll, the administration agreed to
withdraw the proposal.

Only through such cooperative
student efforts was the proposal
thwarted, and only through such
efforts w1ll students continue to
affect change at this university.
Those students who participated
in this campaign must be
congratulated. with the
realization that an aware and
active student body will insure
student gains in the future.

defective in judgment. Light
Colonel Llewellyn will make a
suitable successor to Light
Admiral i‘vloorer.

Our government is loaded with
men who can‘t understand that
the odds are against everyone
being a spy, a traitor, a security
risk or an enemy of the state.
Every organization must suffer a
certain number of officials who
live by delusion, but we have so
many that to survive sensible
men must play the fool.

The admiral and the colonel
and 10,000 others remain at their
posts while the luckless Egil Bud
goes to jail, but neither jail nor
school nor therapy can mend
them. One by one, some day soon.
they must be led to positions
where their ardent stupidities
and pure-hearted blunders injure
none but themselves.
