Good memories still vivid

So,Tennesee beat Kentucky again.

Repeated losses to the Volunteers
are beginning to tax the patience of
Wildcat fans and some have begun
to lose faith in their team.

Because it’s hardest to swallow
your own pride (everyone wants to
back a winner), Saturday’s defeat
could prove the true (blue) test of
loyal Cat fans.

if it comes to separating the mice
from the men, (in this case, women)
the one Kentucky fan who’ll stand
out is Mrs. R. B. Lorch, 74, from
Anchorage, Ky.

Lorch has been following Ken-
tucky basketball and football since
she moved to Lexington in 1925. And

it’s more than a matter of pride with
her, because watching UKis and has
been a big part of her life for the past
50 years.

Maybe that’s why she took Ken-
tuck y’s loss to Tennessee better than
you probablydid. “It‘s a shame they
lost,” she said in a low voice. “But
that will just make them work
harder Monday night. This defeat
might be the necessary stimulus for
Kentucky to keep on winning."

Lorch originally came to
Lexington from Peabody, Tenn, as
a home demonstration agent for
Fayette County and worked in
connection with the University until
she and her husband moved to

Tickets are big problem

But when basketball season rolls
around, Lorch has the.same problem
every other Wildcat fan has. “I
come to every home game I can get
tickets for. I got lucky this time; my
sister’s husband managed to get us

he thought the Senate would agree to two changes
that Kentucky's coal operators and the state's

-To permit the strip mining method known as
mountaintop removal, which involves leveling the
tops of mountains to get at underlying seams of
coals.

-To permit retention of highwalks, the steep
ridges left in the mountainside after coal is
removed.

KENTUCKY

. By MIKE MEUSER
Assistant Managing Editor

A planned state motor pool to be
qierated by UK has run into its
second major snag, this time as the
result of a ruling by officials in
Washington.

UK officials must find a way to
keep state and federal vehicles
apart, to avoid losing federal
agriculture funds.

Russell McClure, state finance
and administration secretary, first
contacted UK officials this fall and
told them that Governor Julian
Carroll wanted to consolidate the
state and University motor pools
into me operation.

Shortly thereafter, plans were
made to lease part of the former
Pepper Distillery on Old Frankfort
Pike as the location for the motor
pool. .

But the leasing plan became
embra'led in a storm of controversy
when it was discovered that the
contract had not gone through
proper channels and that Robert S.
Miller, Carroll’s campaign manager
in Fayette County during the last
election, hadpurchased the property
only two months before.

When newspaper stories revealed
that Miller would make a large
profit from the contract after the
first year, state officials, under
public pressure, cancelled the lease.
A grand jury reported last month

plan stalled

that the contract was improper.

ironically, UK officials now say
the lease was not even necessary.
Vice President for Business Affairs
Jack Blanton said that because the
state told him originally that a large
number of cars would be included in
the motor pool, it was decided that a
facility larger than the one the
University already operates would
be needed

Now all that has changed.

“When they (the state) really
figured out how many cars they
would beadding to our motor pool, it
was obvious that we could ac-
comodate them in our present
facilities,” Blanton said.

“25 (r :5 cars is a lot less than the
200 they originally told us we would
have to add to our motor pool."

New UK faces the problem of what
to do in the face of a directive from
the Acting Director of the
Agricultural Extension Service in
Washington, DC.

Officials in Washington have ruled
that federal agriculture vehicles
cannot be placed in a state motor
pool, as the plan called for at UK.

“I have to certify that agriculture
funds are spent properly. if we go
agairst the directive, we might face
an audit exception," Blanton said.

An audit exception could cause UK
to lose federal agriculture funds
altogether. “I’m not prepared to risk
that," he said.

Strip mining needs
national regulation

Congressional committees have been busy
hearing testimony and preparing recom-
mendations for a national strip mine bill that
Resident Carter has vowed to sign. Finally,
after six years of preparation, a comprehensive
reclamation law will be in effect, probably by

this summer.

In the interim, however. legislators must avoid
allowing the bill to become watered down
through lobby efforts by the coal industry. If
(‘ongress withstands the lobby and passes a
strong bill. it will be a giant step toward
providing needed regulation of an industry that

has operated irresponsibly.

Inadequate legislation and punchless en-
forcement in the individual states have allowed
coal operators to strip the land without proper
restoration procedures. In Kentucky alone, there
are 09.000 acres of disturbed land in which there
are no reclamation requirements.

The House Interior Committee that is studying
the strip mine bill noted that. “The passage of
laws regulating coal surface mining in 34 states
has proven to be generally ineffective in bringing
about necessary reclamation of the disturbed

land areas. "

Individual state governments don‘t properly

1,1" editorials s: comments

Editorials do not represent the Opinions of the University

regulate the industry because such action in-
duces operators to move into a neighboring state
with less stringent controls, And those states that
do attempt to impose meaningful controls often
run into stumbling blocks trying to enforce them.

The strip mine industry has grown rapidly and
most state regulatory agencies have been unable
to keep pace with that growth. As the House
committee discovered, “enforcement agencies
have often been under—staffed. underequipped
and under-financed.“

Arid political influence has effectively stopped
needed controls, particularly in states like

Kentucky where the industry is very strong.

and so on.

The list of damaging effects from uncontrolled
strip mining is nearly endless: destruction of
farmland. forest and wildlife habitat; siltation of
river systems; acid drainage polluting some
11,000 miles of streams: destructive landslides

All the evidence points out the need for
national control and enforcement that can only
be adequately provided through the vast
resources of the federal government. And
because of the industry's rapid growth and its

movement into the vulnerable Western

Outlet

Several months ago I wrote a
letter to the Kernel concerning the
placement of a No Outlet Sign on
Hilltop. going towards the parking
structure.

I said that a sign of this sort was
needed because it was common to
see cars going towards Rose Street
on Hilltop. thinking that it was a way
art. and then being forced to turn
around Shortly after I wrote. a sign
was placed there.

Now I would like to say that that
sign was a waste of money. People
barrel down that street all of the
time thinking it is a thru street. and
then find out it isn‘t when they are 20
feet away from destroying the
inshes.

Then they turn around and barrel
hack in a rage I really do not believe
that rate of this happening has
decreased much since the sign was
put up. I don‘t expect the Highway
Department to take the sign down.
but I thought I would just point out
that people don‘t pay attention to
signs. And when are forced to turn
around. they probably cuss out the
University. road designers or any-
me except themselves.

Why was it that the combined

Undergraduate Studies could not
produce the Memorial Coliseum for
Alex Haley's lecture?

Upon Iooking through the Lexing-
ton Herald and the Kernel. I failed to
notice the facility in use for that
particular night. Perhaps there was
an activity at Memorial Coliseum
unknown to the students. but due to
the great popularity of Mr. Haley‘s
hook and the television movie based
at it. I feel that accomodations for a
rmch larger crowd should have been
made.

For the 500 of us that did not make
it to Memorial Hall before 7 pm.
mr choice was to sit in the
(bmmerce Building and listen over
the PA system or go home and
finish wasting the evening in dis-

Of course. this was par for the

Newman

I have just finished reading the
article on mayoral candidate Terry
Newman for the third time. It has
occurred to me that Newman is so
\ague that it is very hard to find
where he made any concrete posi-
tion known except that he is happy tc
caption himself with the term “con—
servative."

One must question Newman's
motivation for choosing to enter the
race. He says that he is the
“different“ choice for mayor but
most of what he is saying has been
said early in the race by Nick
Martin.

Newman alludes to the error of
landling in the civic center case.
Nick Martin has on numerous
occassions stated that he would have
required the proposition to be put
before the public before construction
moved forth.

Newman says that all of the other
candidates have claimed that they
are the ones who offer leadership. I
lave heard Nick Martin say that the
idea of leadership is foreign to a true
democracy and that he opposes
using it as an issue.

Newman takes rhetorical sight at
“millionaires“ and “developers“
hit Martin has recently made
attremely specific proposals for
pacing power back into the hands of
average citizens in area such as
growth planning and public utilities.
It is the real. enunciated proposals
that matter. not rhetoric.

Newman uses the Paris Pike issue
:5 an example of where a referen-
dim might be useful. Right again.
Martin proposed that a month ago.
Martin has also issued a statement
that outlines his proposals to elimi-
mte the need for greater expendi-
ture on roadways.

Newman indicates that he will
lnpe to reach people on a personal
lnsis. If he does then he will
p‘obably run into Nick Martin who is
mnning an active. daily door-to—door
diort.

Mr. Newman has made some
vague references to his approach of
campaigning which places high
emphasis on labels and. under
ureful examination. offers very

little difference at all.

Parking

Right on Hugh? l have been
employed at 17K for three years and
astudent for two years. chcr’in my
life have I ever seen such a hassle
with parking tickets.

I received my first ticket the other
day in a spot that l have parked in
since I started here. The fine of $5 is
not going to keep me from making
my first million. but it‘s the prin-
ciple of the thing.

If they are going to issue citations
for parking. they should patrol the
area all of the time. not just once a
month or once a year.

It seems to me with a staff of 21.
that they have better things to do
than write out parking tickets.

I can‘t begin to count the times
I‘ve gone down to the cafeteria in the
hospital and seen two or three of
them sitting down there having
coffee. Is this their reward?

tine other thing, I have never had
a job where the cmploye has to pay
for parking. If we are made to pay
for parking. why are we being
punished twice for parking. I say we
should have either one or the other. I
know I speak for many UK
employes.

Jim Nesin ()matseye‘s letter is so
true. The American press tie. The

the white. American. Christian.

which is in support of these white.
American. Christian. management

the horrible Shah of Iran is pam-

The Arab terrorists are debased.
the Palestinian refugees are ig-

Taxes are cheaper
for single couples

About two weeks ago. I read an
article about President‘s Carter‘s
dismay at the fact that many
government employes were living
together without being married.

Two days later. I read another
article which claimed that the
number of people under 45 living
together had increased fivefold over
tlrepast six years.

I'm certain that the major reason
for the increased cohabitation can

 

Jim
horrolson

 

 

beexplained sociologically. Yet. it is
also a fact that many of those
cohabitators would suffer a tax loss
ifthey got married.

A marriage tax? You might call it
that. But the fact of the matter is
that a married couple‘s tax will be
greater than the sum of the taxes of
two single individuals. each of whom
has half the income of the married
couple.

In other words. if you are married.
and if you and your spouse have
approximately the same income.
you pay more taxes than you would
if you simply lived together and filed
assingle individuals.

The reason for the discrepancy is

the progressive rate schedule of our
federal income tax. Before 1969.
there was no discrepancy.

But the Tax Reform Act of 1969
(referred to by some as the Lawyers
and Accountants Relief Act of 19391
created the present rate schedule.
which requires that taxpayers pay a
greater percentage of their incomes
as those incomes rise.

The results are often hard to
understand. For instance. assume
that a man who earns an income of
$15,000 cares for a female cousin
who does not work.

Assume also that he arranges his
situation so that his cousin receives
half of his income. leaving them with
incomes of $7.500 each. The sum of
their taxes will be less than a
married couple whose income is
$15,000.

Shouldn‘t the taxes be the same if
the man married his cousin?

Even if you are married. all may
not be lost. You could get a divorce.
Then if you can arrange with the
court for the spouse with the higher
income to pay alimony t which must
be periodic and payable over an
indefinite length of time) which will
equalize your incomes. your taxes
would be reduced.

You might even decide to move
back in with your spouse at a later
date.

Veto of funds was proper

By STEVEN (l. I’ETR HY

I would like to defend the veto of
funding for International Women's
Day by Student Government (SG)
President Mike McLaughlin. A Ker-
nel editorial (“It Was Worth $27."
March 2. I977) claimed that Inter-
national Women's Day deserved SG
support. I agree that it does.

This editorial also points out that
SC is obligated by its constitution to

 

commentary

 

combat sexism. which it is. And that
International Women‘s Day is de-
signed to do just that. Again I must
agree.

However. it appears that the
editorial has missed the point of
McLaughlin‘s veto. If Mike were
qrestioned. you would find that he
agrees that SG should support
International Women's Day and
(ppose sexism.

The actual question here is if the
funding of this bill would accomplish
this. McLaughlin concluded that it

would not. I agree with his assess-
ment.

The movement for women‘s rights
‘5 an ancient effort dating back to
(hys of women‘s suffrage and
beyond. The modern women‘s rights
rmvement has brought women to
the brink of an equal social status
with men.

Admittedly. there are still vest-
iges of sexism remaining in our
society. Yet these are destined to
fall. perhaps in the next decade as
mr society reaches a new equili-
brium.

The question has now become
what this new equilibrium should be.
Just how far should the women‘s
rmvcment go? There are varying
opinionsonthis.

An example of conflicting views is
the hotly debated abortion issue
where some feel that the women's
rights movement has gone too far
and others feel that each woman
should have abortion as a choice.
There are other such conflicts.

International Women's Day
should hail the progress made by
women thus far and bring about

and Singles Lib and Gay Lib. Why
not Married Lib?

In addition to fighting for tax
equality. Married Lib could est-
ablish marrieds bars. marrieds
consciousnessraising groups. and
anInternational Marrieds‘ Day.

Then campus groups would spring
up. UK‘s campus group could ask
Student Government to reserve the
Grand Ballroom for a dance. and for
$27 to support the special day.

In all seriousness. the situation
deserves rectification. Surely mar-
ried people should not bear a
discriminatory tax burden because
they chose to marry.

Perhaps this inequality. along
with all the others in our tax system.
will be corrected when President
Carter begins his reform of “the
disgrace to the human race."

Below are the tax savings that can
result from living together:

The program presented to SG
would not have allowed a free

Instead it would have provided
[ropaganda for one particular view-

sponsor behind the program.

My experience as a Student Sena-
tor includes memories of numerous
“forums" sponsored by the Young
Socialist Alliance. all of which
tuned out to be propaganda meet-
ings for the Socialist Workers Party
with which the Young Socialist

Student Government has an obli-

mpletely forsake that obligation.
