Because of a mistake in Vice President llal llaering‘s vote count, however. the veto at first appeared to have been overridden. Originally. 14 senators were recorded as voting to override the veto and seven as supporting it. A two~thirds majority is needed to override a veto. llaering erred by not recording one abstention. which is the same as a no vote. He called th's to the Senate‘s at- tention near the end of the meeting, and several senators asked if another vote could be taken. At that point, Billy Henderson and David Wahl, senators-at—large, walked out to upset the quorum. \t'ahl said later that he left “because I had something else to (10." During the meeting, several senators and lWD supporters debated at length with McLaughlin Board approves rate increases of room, An increase in room and board rates for the 19fl-78 school year was approved by the Executive Com- mittee of the Board of Trustees yesterday.

Jack Blanton, vice president for business affairs. said the rate in- creases were the lowest possible amounts that could be implemented to keep the housing and dining system operating on a breakeven basis. Ile explained that housing and food services are subsidized not by tuition or state monies, but by in- come from auxiliary services. which include student housing and food service operations. Blanton cited rising labor, food and utility costs as causing the adjustments.

St; a primary supporter McLaughlin said he objected to the bill because if SG supported IWI), it would have to become a primary supputer of the more than 100 other campus organizations. McLaughlin also said he thought lWl) would have been able to pay for its publicity (which is why it wanted SC funding) if the several campus organizations supporting it had given $1.82 more. “They should come to us as a last resort." he said. “We don't have pay $115 a month for efficiency ' apartments, $130 for one-bedroom ‘ apartments and $140 for two bedroom apartments.

When the Senate asked Margaret Kelly. coordinator of Saturday‘s lWD programs, if she would put someone representing an anti-abortion stand on the panel at the last meeting, “she refused,“ McLaughlin said. According to Pat Van ilouten, .lWl) supptrter. “to have a pro-life suppu‘ter on the panel would be inappropriate." “We seem to be getting bogged down on the issue of abortion," said Marion Wade, A & Ssenator. “The main issue is lntemational Women’s Day." “We will have to talk to other people on the committee (who support the veto) and to lWD sup- porters.“ before taking further action. said Cathy Welch, A & S senator. “You hate to seethis kind of attitude. I think this has been a biased meeting.“ . Welch said she thought the veto could go before the Judicial Court for a final decision. According to McLaughlin, the Senate cannot vote again to override the veto. Two against one 'l‘hey're years apart. but their desire to go outside and play never dies.

Court of Appeals ruling, which requires joint ownership of a newspaper and broadcasting station to serve the public interest. may directly affect two Kentucky companies. The Barry Bingham family in Louisville owns the Courier-Journal onolysis and Times, as well as WHAS-TV and WAMZ-FM. The Paducah Sun- Democrat and WPSD-TV are owned by Padumh Newspapers, Inc. Seventy-seven other newspaper- television ownerships and an un- determined number of newspaper- radio ow nerships around the country also might be affected. The appeals court decision, written by US. Circuit Chief Judge David 1.. Bazelon, did not directly order the newspapers to divest themselves of their broadcast stations, but it did order the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to set up guidelines under which such divestitures should take place.

The Bazelon decision leaves to the FCC the authority to determine whether or not the ownership of a newspaper and broadcast facility clearly serves the public interest. Virginia Held. associate professor of political philosophy at City University of New York, and author of the bodt, The Public Interest and Individual Interests , said broad- castirg companies have a moral respmsibility to serve the public. “Television is not there merely to provide entertainment and what the public wants," she said. “There is a responsibility to provide in- formation, cultural affairs and educatim. It is a moral concept," and to the FCC, “they (broadcasting companis) will have to make some claim that what they do is justifiable."
