after marijuana arrest

By DICK GABRIEL

Sophomore quarterback Bill
Tolston has been suspended from the
UK football team by head coach
Fran Curci after Tolston was
arrested Tuesday for possession of
marijuana.

Curci, through the UK Sports
Information Department, released
this prepared statement to the press
yesterday:

decision that he (Tolston) will not be
allowed to participate in any football
games until after final disposition of
this matter, at which time we will
weigh all the facts and act ac-

“This is not to say whether Bill is
innocent or guilty but I told the
members of the team before the
season began that severe action
would be taken against anyone in-

Late October or early November
is the expected date the 1976-77
student directory will be ready for
distribution, according to Student
Government (SG) President Mike
McLaughlin.

Sponsored by SC, the directory
has been published by Promotional
Enterprises for the past two years.
The company publishes college
directories throughout the country.

Dave Dicken, field supervisor in
Kentucky for the Promotional
Enterprise. said the company is
“desperately trying to elin'iinate
past skeptici-on” students have
about the directory by publishing it
on time.

The company has to wait forUK to
supply it with computer print-out
tapes listing all students enrolled
this fall. According to the contract,
Dicken said, Promotional En-
terprises must have the directory
printed within 20 working days of
receiving the print-out tapes.

According to McLaughlin, the
October-November distriLution date
is normal.

Dicken, who calls the directory
“the fifth or sixth most important
media for students,” said the
directorys yellow pages will offer
disCount values and coupons to
students.

This year‘s directory will not
differ much from last year's, ac—
cording to McLaughlin. He said
there will be additional listings, of
religious organizations in the city,
which were not included in last
year’s directory.

The League of Women Voters had proposed
four debates —— three between Ford and

and the fourth between GOP vice

presidential nominee Sen. Robert Dole and his
Democratic counterpart,
Mondale.

McLaughlin abo said he thought
there might be a Cincinnati Reds
baseball playing schedule in the new
directory.

The cover photo for this year’s
directory was taken by Hal Haering,
SG vice president. McLaughlin said
the photograph features the United
States, Kentucky and bicentennial
flags flying in front of the Ad-
ministration Building. Haering also
photographed last year’s cover,
which pictured the fountain in front
of the Office Tower.

Past directories have caused
some controversy because of
political material added to the
directory by members of SG. Two
years go, during the height of the
Red River Dam dispute, the cover
photo featured a picture of Red
River Gorge and some statements
by Gov. Ford and Sen. Cook. The
effect was “antidem” and many
students objected to the political
statement. McLaughlin said this

‘ “This team has suffered enough
and I will not allow any individual,

’ Tolston was standing outside his
dormitory around midnight Tuesday
when he was arrested by campus
police. He was arraigned Wed-
nesday, and released on his own
bond in Fayeette Quarterly Court.
The case has been continued until
Oct. 7.

Campus police officials were
unavailable for comment.

Dean of Students Joe Burch,
whose office assisted Tolston after
the arrest. said the incident is “a
matter of student discipline. Ob
viously, what wc're dealing with is
an dfense of the student code."

A native of Chicago, Tolston was
second-team quarterback behind
Derrick Ramsey last year, ap-
pearing in six games, starting one of
them and running for 168 yards in 59
carria, for a 2.9 yards-per-carry
average.

Rated primarily as a passer,
Tolston threw only 11 times last
year, completing four with three
interceptions.

Tolston was alternated with Bite

to relieve big problem

The University has a housing problem.
The e is no room for 403 students who want to
live in campus dormitories.

The Lexington community as a whole also
has a housing problem. The 1.8 per cent
vacancy rate (the percentage of hocn housing
available) is more than five per cent below
what the Federal Housing Administration
considers sound.

If space is unavailable for ttfo students out of
about 5,030 seeking err-campus housing, how
many of the tore than 15,030 students who are
looking for off-campus quarters are
homele“? That question is staggering in it-
self, without considering these hundrc is of off-
campus renters who are burdened with in-
flated rent and inadequate fattilit'es.

. 73' solution to the Uzixmgton housing
problem is thousands of dollars and light
years away.

We. hope. the. solution for the shortage of on-
campus housing is not. as difficult. The
University has made ifforts but remains
pinned between the. )roverhial rock and a hard
place.

More onrcampus housing requires money;
the University would have to borrow it. The
C>un":il for Public Higher Education has to
approve such a move. But, the council is

shifting its monetary emphasis to the vast
necdsof clcmcnta ry and secondary education.
Kentucky colleges and universities are getting
a smaller piece of the pie.

Thus, the council would be likely reluctant
to approve expenditure as large as the
University .would request for a housing
facility.

Furthermore, University officials are
hesitant to build when they think enrollment
may drop, easing the campus housing shor-
tage. Choosing not to ignore the. situation, the
University recently spent $1,335,049 for
Hollytree Manor apartments.

Graduate students live in the 123-unit
Hollytree Apartments. The purchase enabled
housing officials to convert Blanding II,
formerly a gradufie «21‘ , into. housing for
freshmen women.

Since graduate students lived in singles in
Blending and freshmen women will double up,
the University was able to add a total of 172
student spaces.

In order to make the. switch, however, a
number of students who had signed to lease a
unit in Hollytree this fall were displaced into
the flood of students in search of off-campus
housing, thus limiting the effectiveness of the
purchase.

In short, the University has taken a small
step toward eliminating a large problem.
That, at least, is more than the. Lexington
community can boast.

Marijuana ’3 future: prospects for big business in Kentucky

Ct: cwoutl Galbraith

Editor‘s Kate: This. a: tit-tr l. the last
of a three part series on proposals
for marijuana reform.

lf-TC is shawlutely no reason why
the production and distribution of
marijuana in the United States after
its legalization should fall into the
hands of large industry, i e. liquor or
tobacco companies, the large land-
owners or the. already rich. These
people have done nothing to aid
those users who have been per-
secuted in the past. They have stood
by and let the individual face the

brunt of misled public opinion. they '

should not be allowed to step in
after the long battle and reap the
profits that will inevitably flow after
legalization.

i want to arrange the flow of those
profits in a manner that benefits the
common man in this country. Spe
cifically, I believe that my plan will
raise the cash income of every
farmer in Kentucky by $10,000 to
$20,000 a year. That seems much
more preferable than to let a few
dozen large landowners make. hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars simply
because they were born into more
lucrative circumstances.

Large capital isn't necessary for
efficient production and distribution

of marijtuma in this state. Ken-
tucky‘s guvcrnmcntal resources will
suffice to aid our farmers in their
production and sale of pot. By this, I
mean that our present state
government‘s resources can be ut-
ilized to implement the production of
marijuana on a large scale. Since
the state will want to exercise
controls on the marijuana market
someplace along the line, let's insist
that they do so efficiently and in a
way that benefits; the most people.

Iwanl to see it done this way. The
state of Kentucky can utilize its
agricultural departments and its
agents to educate our farmers in
raising quality marijuana. With the
help of our universities in research,

it is. not improbable that within five ,.

years, Kentucky could grow some of 2"
the. best pot in the world. Our
climate is near perfectly suited for
growing marijuana. the widespread

tothe dctrim ent of small landowners
in eastern Kentucky who desperatly
need a lucrative cash crop.
Accordingly, I would license each
farmer to grow pot, and put a limit
on the number of pounds of mari-

Consumer focus

When the scientists who developed

the Viking space probe began their
search for life on Mars, they had to
ask a very big question: “How will
we know if it’s alive when and if we
find it?” They designed the probe to
perform three experiments, in-
volving absorption of radioactivity
or food and measured what was
given off. The determination the
scientists made, in short, was that if
it’s alive. it’ll be a consumer.

This concept applies whether on
tars or in Lexington: to live is to
consume. But to jump from the very
simple experiments with Martian

 

bruce w. singleton

 

soil absorbing nutrients to the
American public absorbing billions
of dollars worth of ‘consumer goods’
each year regimes in very different
perspective on that notion.

In a generation, ours has become a
consumer economy; in a decade our
laws have moved to consumer
protection. Never before was the
government so sensitive to the needs
and even wants of the consumer.
And the consumer, too, has become
aware of his place in society. .-

Thene was once a saying, “Don’t
laugh at the consumer. . . she’s your
wife.” Today, that adage must be
changed to “We have met the
consumer ard he is us.” It has
become the business of everyone to
carefully scruitinize what the
producers give us. From cars to
toilet tissue, from makeup to soft
drinks, the purity and safety of the
product must meet certain ex-
pectations. If the product does not
measure up, at least two alter-
natives are' available. Either the
consumer will stop; buying the
product, and thus force im-
provements, or the law will be
brought to bear and perhaps a more
drastic remedy achieved.

That first alternative is not as
strong as it may seem, though.
Consumer resistance, though un-
doubtedly a factor in producer
decision-making, does not
necessarily materalize. Brand
names become popular through
advertising. And brand habits are
hard to break. People get ac-
customed to the way a certain anti-
perspirant smells or sprays and it

plan to lift several thousands of our
needy citizens to middle class
incomes. They would be engaged in
selling nothing but marijuana and
paraphernalia. This should enable
them to earn a good solid income.
Their products could also include
foreign marijuana subjected to an
importation tax at our borders in
order to keep its prices in line with
our own domestic pot.

The arithmetic of this might work
out as follows. The farmer sells
excellent pot to the state at $100 a
pound and at a profit of perhaps $90
per pound. The state grades and
packages it, then sells it for $175 a
pound to its vendors. They, in turn,
sell excellent marijuana to the
public at $15 an ounce, with a profit
of $65 a pound. in this way, the
farmers and vendors make plenty of
money and the state has revenues of

CLEVELAND [AP] — A Vietnam veteran,
angered by his former employer, held seven
hostages Thursday on the executive floor of
the headquarters of Chessie System, Inc., in
downtown Cleveland, authorities said.

The man was identified as Ashby Leach, 30,
of Huntington, W. Va. He carried a sawed-off
shotgun and a handgun and demanded a
meeting with billionaire industrialist Cyrus
Eaton, officers said.

returned home and died Aug. 17, Costello said.
Sister Trzil, who became ill Aug. 12, died
Wednesday.

Dr. F. William Sunderman Jr., who heads a
team of scientists at the University of
Connecticut, said Wednesday night that a
two-week study had found significant traces of
nickel in tissue taken from the kidney, brain,
liver and other organs of three victims of the
disease.

Sunderman said the results “came out quite
well in terms of supporting the role of nickel
carbonyl gas” as the possible cause of the
disease.

The number of people known to have
contracted the as-yet-unidentified disease
rose to 176 on Wednesday.

commission chairman, said he, had talked to
Gov. Julian Carroll and that the governor
supports the proposal.

Gibson said Carroll promised to provide
funds to initiate the program if it is approved
by the legislature, but said full funding would
be an item in the budget considered by the
1978 General Assembly. ’

Gibson said implementing the mine
analysist program and the commissioner’s
other recommendations would cost about $9
million.

“Whatever we recommend and legislature
approves, the governor will recommend
appropriate funding tp get it rolling until the
nest legislative session,” Gibson said.

Mondale calls for .‘humane’ tax system

_and equitable tax system and that will be an

important aim of our administration,” said
Mondale, who has served on the Senate
banking and finance committees.

Although he criticized some business
community leaders for ignoring a respon-
sibility to show understanding and com-
passion, Mondale said, “We respect you. We
want to workwith you.”

The Democratic Vice presidential candidate
said, "We want American business to succeed
just as we want a more secure and prosperous
future for the American people."

londale‘s speech concluded a 22-hour visit
to New York, his first since he was nominated
here at the Democratic national convention.

Vietnam vet holds hostages at gunpoint

There was no further elaboration on the
demands.

The Veterans Administration in Washington
said it understood that Leach had tried un-
successfully to set up an on-thc-job training
program under the GI bill so he could apply
for benefits under that program. He would be
entitled to such a program if it were set up by
the firm, the administration said.
