O’Connor recounts
state contributions

By STEPHANIE WALLNER
Managing Editor

US. Supreme Court Justice Sand-
ra Day O’Connor humored an audi-
ence of more than 1,500 last night as
she discussed the role of the high
court and commanded Kentucky's
contributions.

Delivering the biennial Judge Mac
Swinford lecture, O’Connor said: “If
you trace the history of the Kentuck-
ians on the Supreme Court. you un-
ravel the history of the court itself.

“People often think of the Suv
preme Court as a remote and dis-
tant Washington institution in just
another large, federal building,"
O’Connor said.

“The court is part of the national
government . . . is a part of the peo-
ple. It's got its liberals as well as its
conservatives. Justices are drawn
from all over the country.“ she said.

“Our job is to reconcile the irrec-
oncilable. I believe in law; at the
same time I believe in freedom."
O'Connor said the trinity of law.
freedom and justice mist be consid-
ered.

“We don‘t always strike a bal-
ance. If you're not happy with every
opinion. I can probably say you're
not alone. There is at least one law-
yer too." .

West German
speaks of life
as UK student

By SACIIA DEVROOMEN
Senior Staff Writer

Because of the difficulty in read-
justing to life at home, foreign stu-
dents often don't want to adapt to
the American way of life. according
to a student from West Germany.

Werner Waldner, an economics
doctoral candidate, spoke about his
expectatiom and experiences as a
UK foreign student to about 100 Do-
novan Scholars yesterday.

“0n the one side, you want to ad-
just. you want to learn about the
American culture. you want to make
friencb," he said. “But don't forget
that the foreign student - especially
myself - I know that I have to go
back to Germany.

“The more I adjust to giving up
my German culture, the harder it
will be when I am back in Ger-
many."

Waldner said he received a wel-
come reception in Kentucky two
years ago. but there were moments
“I was close to the point where Gun-
ther Behnke was last week."

Foreign students face many prob-
lems. he said. In the first year, the
largest problem is the language and
trying to adjust to academic life.

“I thought I knew English very
well. Then the professor started to
write on the board, fast, faster than
lhaveeverseenandthenlwas
really lost."

Waldner said he learned about the
United States mostly from movies.
In Germany he used to watch John
Wayne movies on Saturday nights
and in the last several years the
television series Dallas has been on
German television.

“The United States is seen as the
leader of the western world.“ he
said. The students in West Germany
who demonstrate against nuclear
weapons, demonstrate agairlt both
Russia and the United Stats, he
said. “We are afraid of war. The
ﬁrstonetobehitwillbeEuwe.”

tucky centered on the state's years
of participation in the Supreme
Court.

O’Connor read a Mark Twain
quote which states, "When the world
comes to an end, I want to be a Ken-
tuckian because things there happen
20 years later."

She said it was about that long
until the state's first Supreme Court
Jistice, Thomas Todd, was appoint-
ed.

Citing the 131 years of serVice to
the Supreme Court by Kentucky‘s 11
jistices. O'Connor said: “I don‘t
know if that‘s a record for any state.
but it‘s a close one.“ The state's
most recent appointment was Fred-
erick Vinson in 1946

O’Connor said her appointment as
the 10nd justice was conSidered by
many as “a break from tradition I
think I‘ve finally discovered what all
the excitement is about," she said.
“me coming from Arizona "

“The seat I now hold has been oc-
cupied twice before by Kentucki-
ans,“she said.

As the first women appomted to
the court, she said Kentucky was
"reasonably progressive" in pro
moting women in law. The state saw
its first female lawyer in the early
18905, according to O'Connor

LexTRAN contract disputes
decrease campus bus service

By DARRELL CLEM
Staff Writer

Contract negotiations between bus
drivers and tranSit officials were in
a deadlock yesterday as LexTRAN
bus service was forced to operate at
half capacity.

According to Bill Nickens. Lex»
TRAN superintendent of transporta-
tion, 27 bus drivers called in sick.

“Naturally you‘d have late serv-
ice," Nickens said. “There will be
some delays.“

The University yesterday took
steps to inform students affected by
the reduced bus service. and two
buses from the College of Agricul-
ture were used to alleviate some of
the transportation problems.

"We had about 20 minutes notice"
of the problem. said Tom Padgett.
L'K director of public safety. "Ob-
yiously it affected bus service.

"We put messages on the radio.
We sent someone to post Inoticesi at
major bus stops and ran our vehi-
cles around to other stops" to in-
form students. he added. "We also
ran our CATS bus with the handicap
lift onit “

Padgett also said reSidence halls
were notified and "as far as what
will happen today. we don‘t
know."

Nickens said the drivers are "cur»
rently upset because they don‘t have

a new contract " The contract ex-
pired at midnight on March 31.

Ken Dickerson, president of Amal-
gamated Transit Union, which rep
resents the bus drivers, said the sick
calls were not organized by the
union.

"The union did not sanction the
particular thing that happened (yes-
terday) morning." Dickerson said.
But he added that the union will
back the bus drivers because “they
areapartofus.“

“We feel we've been mistreated."
he added. “We're six months over-
due on a contract. It has caused a
considerable amount of dissatisfac-
tion among workers."

Dickerson said he sent a letter re-
questing arbitration on contract
talks to LexTRAN on March 23. A
response was received on April 20.
he said. stating that the transit
board “would not arbitrate. “

“That particular issue is now in
court." he added. "They based
itheir refusal to arbitratei on some
law that exempts them from arbi—
tration."

Nickens. however. said yesterday
that “we are presently in arbitration
on a new contract."

Dickerson said the transit authori-
ty twice sent officials from its man-
agement company to discuss the ex-
pired contract with union officials,
but ”we feel this is illegal. The

‘ll'anSlll authority can't dt‘if‘gﬂll'
their responsibility to any managi-
ment company "

Disagreement between bus drnets
and transit offiCials stems from mn-
troversial wage and cost of living in
creases. Dickerson said (‘osi oi il\
ing increases were frozen ill
contracts two years ago. and bus
drivers and union officials want any
new contract to contain those con
cessions, he said

"After a two-year freeze on cost of
living, they want to take it out of
the contract) completely." Dicker
son said Top salary for bus drivers
after about three and oneth years
is 59% per hour. he said

Bob Brooks. LexTRAN aSSiSlalil
manager. would not comment or;
Dickerson‘s statements and Patrick
Hamric. LexTRAN manager could
not be reached for comment

Nickens said "we have some
buses on every route and wilt contin
ue to do so. But they‘re not running
as often "

Brooks said a number of iiu.‘ ’il‘lV
ers called yesterday saying thei
would be returning to wini- (Milly
Although some drivers had not
called. Brooks said they might silii
show up for work today

Both Nickens and Dickerson said
they didn‘t know when the contract
dispute would be resolved

Fraternities satisfied with success
of second year of ‘dry’ rush parties

B) TISII (‘RtK'KI-ZTI’
Reporter

Fraternity members are exc1ted
about their pledges and looking for—
ward to the new year as rush comes
to a close.

"The quality was exceptional“ is
how John Scott, president of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon fraternity described
the men coming through fall semes-
ter rush.

During the week of Aug. 27. 350
students had formally registered to
go through rush. At the beginning of
the week "open" parties were held
and all rushees could attend. To-
ward the end of the week the parties
changed to invitation only. Bids
could be given out and accepted any
time during the week. A rushee does
not have to accept his bid right at
that moment but can accept it at
any time. This is different from so-
rority rush where all students re-
ceive bids at the same time.

Each fraternity had unique parties

designed to attract pledges. Many of
the parties were cookouts and ice
cream soc1als with bands, movies
and slide shows for entertainment.

This was the second year of "dry“
rush and no alcoholic beverages
were allowed to be served dunng
the week. There were many com-
plaints last year and Mike Palm.
dean of students. said the idea is
still not universally accepted.

"The fraternities won't be used to
dry rush until the last student who
experienced wet rush is gone,"
Palm said The rush parties will
probably change in the future to
more of a "smoker“ type party, in-
stead of being so elaborate, he said.

However. Rick Rimmers, preSi-
dent of Delta Tau Delta said. "F‘ra
ternities are accepting dry rush for
what it is and making the best of
it."

Sigma Chi president John Foley
was very enthusiastic about rish
this year. To help with adjusting to
dry rush. the fraternity invited a

speaker to help members better
communicate with the rushees
Foley said it was a great asset amt
got the chapter actively inmiu-ii ii
rushing.

Palm said there were no rush iii
fractions this year resulting from iii
cohol misuse. The lnteri‘raterniiy
Council has deSIgned stiff penalties
to discourage infractions If a house
is found serving alcohol from Sun
day until Thursday mght. the frater
nity would be fined $20 for each ac
tive member in the chapter If this
were to happen a second time, the
fraternity would again be fined and
loose greek priy'ileges

"Since punishments are so ex-
treme. I want to make sure there is
no gray area, because they the pe-
nalties i are so harsh" Palm said

Gary Ellegood, Farmhouse frater
nity preSident. is pleased with the 22
students his chapter pledged "This
is the best pledge class we have had
in a long time." he said "We have a
lot of good leaders “

Adults attend UK for career, personal fulfillment

By WENDY SL'SAN SMITH
Staff Writer

It's never too late to return to col-
lege. And at UK. more than 26 per.
cent of the student body is doing just
that.

A growing number of adult stu-
dents, 5 and older. are returning to
college for variors reasons. said
Susan Byars, director of academic
support services. “There is a real
mixture of people who are entering
or re-entering college," she said.
“Many attended college at the tradi-
tional age and dropped out. others
have never been. and yet others are
working toward a second degree.“

There are even 123 students over
the age of 65 enrolled in classes. and

two of them are working toward
their master‘s degree. Byars said.

The ratio of men to women reen-
tering college is basically the same.
but there tends to be a few more
women because they have under
gone a change in lifestyle such as a
divorce, Byars said. “Women are
thrust into the job market and they
are desperate for a degree."

Many adults begin to feel a need
to find their niche in life. Byars
said. “Many men don't like what
they're doing and want to find out
what else they could possibly do.“

Rob Bostrom. a 30-yearold engi-
neering senior. enrolled at UK three
years ago to secure a better job. ”1
have been working in construction
since I was 19 years old after par

tially completing one year of col-
lege. and I just felt the need for
more fulfillment," he said.

At first, the adult students might
feel intimidated in classes with pre-
dominantly younger students, but
for the most part. younger students
are pleased to have them in their
classes. Byars said. “The younger
students tend to gravitate to the
older students perhaps because they
feel they have an edge on them."

Jo Ann Greenup, a 39-yearold
communications junior, feels that
the students enjoy having an adult
student around. “Its a good experi~
ence for me and the younger stu-
dents, and my return to college has
helped me relate better to my
daughter who is a sophomore at
UK."shesaid.

Most adults are enrolled in the
Evening-Weekend College, many at-
tend part-time, and there are an am-
azing number of full-time adult stu~
dents as well, Byars said.

The majority of adult students are
enrolled in the College of Business
and Economics since many are in
business already and want to obtain
their bachelor's or master‘s degree,
Byars said.

Support groups for adults retum-
ing to college include “Discovering
a New You" which is a series of
short noncredit career exploration
courses and vocational testing for
adult women. “For Men Only: Ca-
reer Direction Through Self-Ex-
pression" also is offered to help
adult men decide on a career

Cable available to all campus

By SAILAJA MALEMPATI
Staff Writer

With a touch of a button. students
can now watch favorite movies.
sports events and video cassettes in
the comfort of their own residence
hall room.

liexington's Telecable is now pro-
viding service to all residence halls
and most fraternities and sororities
on campus. “Every student on cam-
pin should have received a letter in-
forming them about cable TV." said
Bob Clay, assistant dean of students.

Last year, Boyd and Jewell Halls
and Greg Page Apartments were the
first to be offered cable. The service
was well appreciated and worked
exceptionally well. according to Bob
Youm. Telecable sales manager.

“I lived in Boyd Hall int year and
felt very privileged to be offered

cable," said Lisa Justice, an ac-
counting sophomore. "Everybody
would come to my room to watch
TV. and after I got cable the picture
even got better."

Telecable of Lexington, which is
not affiliated with the University,
was awarded the franchise to serve
UK a few years ago. according to
Clay. “We knew it (cable) was com-
ing for three or four years, but it
was just finished this fall."

About 20 percent of Boyd and Jew-
ell residents requested cable last
year. "The percentage is nothing to
brag about, but you have to take
into account that they were {rah-
man girls' dorms." Yo“ said.
"I-‘rom my experience under-
classman are not heavy subscribers
tocable.“

At Greg Page Apartments. howev-
«.mpementofthesuidsntssub-

scribed to cable. This was basically
because “they are more along the
line of apartments with typically
older students living there.“ Young
said.

"For this year campuswide we
are hoping for a 5—30 percent pen-
etration of cable." he said.

For a limited time, Telecable is
now offering UK students Iivirg on
campus free installation, which is
normally 815.

Students have the option of sub-
scribim to individual servicu or
several varietiu of “programmir‘
packages." All packages. which
range in [rice from m. contain
a guide. deluxe cable, FM stereo
sand and remote control. mess
rats are idsritical to thou offered

totheliexlngtaicommunlty.

Support courses to help adult stu
dents get back into the l‘mversny
include study skills. math refresher.
and writing courses. as well as li»

brary tours. term paper writing
workshops, and a night child care
service.

Its never too late to enter the job
market for these adult students
Byars said. “Many employers are

looking for these stable and respon
sible people who will remain in Lex
ington. "

Pedestrian and driver complaints meet at pavement’s edge

First. let me apologize.

I‘m sorry I don‘t have as much
money to throw around as the peo
ple who drive their cars at break-
neck speed along Rose Street. There
are some of 15 who just can't afford
to waste that kind of money on gas.

Not to mention affording the car.
But I bet your mommy and daddy
bought yours for you anyway. It‘s a
shame they didn‘t teach you how to
drive when they did it.

The confrontational nature of pe-
destrians and automobiles on Rose
Street is just another example of the
class system in action. The humble
— yet proud — pedestrian is being
trodden upon tor is it driven upon?)
by the highfalutin auto driver. How
long can a system such as this be
perpetuated?

No one has the right to drive an
automobile. It is a privilege — not a
right — extended to individuals by
the body politic. I daresay that pe-
destrians make up a large part of
that body politic.

Driving is made possible only
through legislation. police actions,
highways and road signs — all of
which are paid for by taxes.

And pedestrians pay taxes too.
thank you very much.

So, if you think about it. drivers
are only driving by the grace of pe-
destrians. So shape up and quit
whining about the Rose Street situa-
tion. If you get is angry, we just
may do something about it.

You‘re probably thinking that a
pedestrian can‘t do much against a
car in a fair fight, and you‘re proba~
bly right. But who said anything
about fighting fair?

Things break once in a while, you
know? Especially automobile parts.
Tires are easily punctured by a well«
placed broken bottle. Gas tanks
don't function too well with the addi-
tion of a small quantity of sugar.
Headlights can be troublesome after
they‘ve been bashed in with a base-
ball bat.

Wait a minute. let me apologize.

I don't mean to threaten you. This
is just a a quiet reminder of the
power of the people.

If you still don‘t believe in that
power. take a look at the foot paths
and dirt trails we‘ve blazed across
this campus. We defy all attempts at
landscaping. If we need to walk

across a neatly manicured lawn, we
will.

The masses need convenient
transportation. And we will not be
denied.

Walkers of the world. unite. You
have nothing to lose but your toes.

And I‘ll make no apologies for
that.

EditoninvChi‘ef John Voshuhl is a
journalism senior and a Kernel col-
umnist.

No. please, pardon me.

I understand perfectly how herds
of semi-consciom caffeine-addled
morning—glories need to have the
width and length of Rose Street all
to themselves.

I'm the one who should be sorry.
Sorry I can‘t put my brake pedal
through the floor at a moment‘s no-
tice when you trip gaily out into
rmh-hour traffic — against the light.
