Student transportation to arena

under ad-hoc committee scrutiny

(Editor's note: This is the second of
a two-part series about Rupp Arena
by Kernel reporter Jane Rowady.)

A major concern of many students
is transportation to UK basketball
games at Rupp Arena.

The prospect of students using
LexTran buses isn’t hopeful. And, if
they can‘t catch a bus to the games,
many students will drive. But where
will they park?

UK President Otis Singletary ap-
pointed Tom Padgett, director of
public safety. as chairman of an
ad~hoc committee considering the
possibility of transporting students
to the games at the Rupp Arena.
Other committee members are
Dean of Students Joe Burch, Assis-
tant Athletic Director Frank Ham
and SG President, Mike McLaughlin.

Padgett said, “Joe (Burch) and I
met with city officials on a couple of
occasions about shuttle buses.

“Our report isn’t complete yet,

Chances aren‘t good (to transport
students to Rupp Arena) because
you need at least one open lane to
and from designated areas," Pad-
gett said. “You can’t make more
than one trip if you don‘t have the
open lane. This seems impossible
because oi the lack of police
(manpower) and roads.“

The number of students who would
be able to use the buses presents a
problem.

"The ratio of buses to students
who want to use them is insul'fiv
cicnt,“ said Padgett. “If the service
is provided, it would be for less than
1.000 people.”

William Nickens. Lex'I‘ran super-
intendent of transportation, said “no
one has contacted me" about the
possibility of chartering buses.

If buses are not available. many
students will drive their cars to the
games. which will put a premium on
parking space.

Hal Gabbard, associate traffic
engineer, said “A parking lot is a
trap.“ After the game, large num-
bers of cars try to leave at once,
causing congestion within the lot, he
said.

Rupp Arena is like Memorial
Coliseum in that there are many
accessible streets nearby. People
can park on those streets and still be
within a 10- or 15-minute walk to the
Arena, said Gabbard.

“The Lexington Center Corp. will
have a parking lot on High Street,
across from Rupp Arena," Gabbard
said. The lot will have numerous
points of access. to make dispersal
easier.

“The state will have a parking lot
at the old L&M railroad yard," said
Gabbard, with about 3,000 available
spaces

“It‘s easy to say we need buses,
but looking at logistics and the
problems. it seems insurmount-

Elam discusses Rape Crisis Center

By MARIE MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer

“Rape is a controversial issue
because it deals with women and
sex," said Pat Elam, director of the
Rape Crisis Center tRCC). at a
lecture Thursday

Elam spoke about myths and
prevention of rape and the history of"
the RCC. Delta Sigma Theta (DST)
sponsored the lecture. “It’s a crime
that doesn‘tgo away." she said, “the
woman must live with it the rest of
her life."

During the past five years, the
word “rape“ has risen from fearful
whispers spoken with shame to an
open and realistic discussion and
reappraisal. “It's encouraging that
wecannow talk about it and say out-
loud what we had not wanted to
admit to ourselves." Elam said.

“But before we can deal with the
problem, we must admit that it
exists," she said. Fayette County

has a serious sex crime problem;
last year RCC handled 160 rape-re—
lated calls.

Formed as an outgrowth of the
Women‘s (‘enter in September. 1974,
the RCC is the first such
organization established in Ken-
tucky and one of less than 200 in the
country.

Because of financial problems, the
RCC exists on a day~to—day basis.
“It's amazing how we‘ve managed
to survhc." Elam said. “It's taken
sheer will and determination."

Last month. after receiving no
support from the Urban County
Council, the RCC raised the
necessary $1,402 to qualify for a
$23,000 federal grant from the
Kentucky (.‘n'me Commission. Elam
said the RCC is listed in the
Department of Justice budget, but it
must continue through the
bureaucratic maze of paperwork
before it is assured the luxury of a
future.

To help meet ltC(_“s financial
needs until the grant is recerved in

Leonard calls another

By MARK (”HELLGREN
Assistant Sports Editor
Leonard Postero had it called at
halftime. “You can‘t give the Dogs a
break; if you do they‘ll shove it down
your throat," he said.
Postero hosts the ”Leonard‘s
Losers” show that is heard every
week on a local radio station. In

stead of picking the winners of
major college and professional
games, he picks the losers. So he
knows a little bit about football,
particularly about how easy it is to
lose.

The (‘ats DID give Georgia a
break; Ill fact. about five of them,
and the Bulldogs shoved it down

February (monthly phone bills alone
are $100), the DST social action
a committee sponsored a dance and
Valerie Reid, public relations
chairperson, gave Elam a $50 check
from the proceeds.

“Can women be without the
unique services that the center
provides?" is the basic question to
be realized, according to Elam.
These services include a 24-hour
crisis line, medical, legal and
psychological counseling or referral
for the victim, her family and
friends, a$istance in dealing with
hospital and-or police treatment,
selfdefense information and an
educational community program.

Although counselors of RCC are
supportive of victims, they are
nevertheless strangers. “Important
people in the victim‘s life need to
come to grips with the incident,"
Elam said. Each victim must
confront her feelings and realize her
right to anger. Reactions vary from
a shocked icy stare to hysterics.

able," Padgett said.

“We are now trying to weigh the
advantages and disadvantages of a
walkway to the Rupp Arena, de—
signed for safety in numbers. We are
working with the city on devising a
direct route,” he said.

Burch said there seems to be an
assumption that there should be
transportation for students, since
the games have been moved to Rupp
Arena.

Cost of the buses and who will pay
for them are problems to be solved,
Burch said. Another problem is who
should use the buses and under what
conditions, he said.

“Students walking to the games
pose no traffic problems, because
there will be scattered groups over
the period of about two hours. After
the games, the large group of
students leaving at one time will
present a problem." said Burch.

Burch called the extent of pedes-
trian traffic and the question of a
designated route major problems.
“We are currently discussing, with
the city, the closing of streets and
which streets would be closed," he
said.

Some of the difficulty in solving
these problems lies with the stu-
dents. “Students are not of one voice
on these issues," Burch said. “The
decisions will be finalized in time to
let everyone get the information."

Army Corps of Engineers claims

no say in construction decisions

(Editor's note: This'is the third of a
three-part series by Kernel Staff
Writer Betsy Pearce concerning the
Kentucky River Coalition.)

Claiming that the Army Corps of
Engineers (COE) has “no direct
involvement" with construction
decisions, Martin Pedigo, public
information officer of COE, ex-
plained its role in water resource
projects.

“It's all up to Congress." he said.
“First of all. the people have to voice
their problem (concerning flood
control or water supply, for in-
stance) to their Congressmen. Then
they come to us.

“What the (.‘orps does is merely
recommend a solution to the
problem."

Pedigo said a lot of problems with
flood control are. a result of the 1937

one right as Cats fall to Georgia

their throats to the tune of a 31-7
drubbing.

The first gift given by the UK boys
came early in the first
quarter, when Chris Hill fumbled a
punt on the UK 14-yard line and
Georgia‘s Butch Box recovered on
the seven.

Hill was subbing for regular punt

returner Mike Siganos, who had a
broken finger. Three plays later the
Bulldogs owned a seven-point lead.

UK fumbled six times in the game,
losing four of them. Another play, a
holding call against Kentucky deep
in Georgia territory. killeda scoring
opportunity. It was not an artistic
success for the Cats.

Kentucky played Georgia even in
the first half. In fact. better than
even. Although the Cats were down
10-7, they led in all of the offensive
categories at the half. Sound
familiar?

“We were very much in it at the
half," I-‘ran Curci said after the
game.

“The play that hurt us a lot was on
the holding penalty when we were
down ready to score."

After Georgia made it 17-7 early in
the third quarter, the Cats started
moving the ball.

Starting on the 20, UK moved the

ball consistently to the Georgia 11-
yard line. With second and six,

quarterback Derrick Ramsey kept
the ball on a reverse keeper and lost
two yards.

That wasn‘t the killer. Reserve
offensive tackle Larry Petkovsek
was caught holding on the play.
Suddenly, instead of third and eight.
it was second and 21. The Catsnever
recovered. They couldn‘t even get
off a field goal try.

“I wasn‘t sure of the play called in
the luddle, I never heard the word
keep," Petkovsek said. “I tried to
ask Ed (Smolder, the offensive
guard) what the play was, but by
then it was too late. I was supposed
to roll the end and take him (a
defender) out but all I could do was
hold out my hands and try to wall
him. “I guess I hooked him as he
went by.“

On Georgia's next series, lightning
struck.

UK‘s Rick Hayden had nailed a
punt to the Georgia one-yard line
and the Bulldogs were in a hold.
Four plays later, ‘Dog quarterback
Ray Goff, supposedly a runner, hit
wide receiver Gene Washington for
an tW-yard scoring pass.

“We messed up on the play
before." Curci said. “They made a
first down. I called for a pressing
defense. That was a mistake.
Washington got behind the defense

and that was it.

flood. Other problems pertain to
particular river basins.

“Our job is to study the feasibility
of a solution. In 60 per cent of the
cases, there's nothing we can do,"
he said. “In the other 40 per cent we
build a dam or somethinglike that to
solve the problem."

Congress then appropriates
money for the project.

“If the Governor or congressman
(in the proposed project‘s district)
doesn’t want the project, we won‘t
recommend it," Pedigo said “We
work at the direction of Congress.
It’s up to their discretion whether to
approve a project, but I doubt they
would go against us."

If the people in the affected area
don't want the proposed project.
Pedigo said, they‘re advised to
contact their congressmen. “But
Congress and the CUE have to
realize that you can't take public
opinion from the few that com-
plain."

When planning a project, COE
looks at the cost-benefit ration “If it
doesn‘t have a cost-benefit ration
greater than one, we won‘t
recommend it," Pedigo said.

Public Law 89-72 requires a 50-50
cost-sharing betweeen state and
federal governments. “The state‘s
part of that 50-50 oftens comes from
state tax revenues. Therefore. since
state tax money is involved.
Congress is going to be very careful
about approving projects," he said.

Presidential debates

not up to billing

The “Great Debates," which concluded
Friday, offered little contribution to the 1976
Presidential campaign. In fact, the debates, in
many ways, detracted from the campaign.

The candidates, particularly in the first and
third debates, were too concious of the media
hype accorded prime time shows. The memory
of Nixon’s sweating face and puffing jowls in the
1960 debate with Kennedy provoked all too much
emphasis on appearance in these debates.

Another major distraction in the ’76 debates
was the forum established by the League of
Women Voters. First, the league made an error
when it allowed the candidates’ aides to have an
equal voice in the debate format.

As a result, the candidates had control of TV
cameras and allowed a format which didn’t
require the candidates to directly answer
questions. Instead, the candidates often laun-
ched into prepared statements that didn’t always
relate to the questions.

Ford and Carter aides also had a say in the
selection of the news panels. Although the panels
that were chosen did an adequate job, the can-
dida tes had no business influencing the selection

Catholic delegates set

progressive example

A representative group of Catholics gathered
in Detroit this weekend and proposed un-
precedented liberal resolutions to open par-
ticipation in the church.

Among the proposals worked out in a
productive opening session were:

inclusion of women and married men into
the priesthood;

support of the Equal Rights Amendment,
consistently opposed by many Catholic groups;

defense of the rights of homosexuals;

financial accountability by the church and
due process in church disputes and;

church study of prominent national issues,
including economies, national health insurance,
racial discrimination, criminal justice and ur-
ban all'aiis.

The 128. (‘ongress might benefit from the
example set by the delegates from 152 dioceses

,Iim Harralson

and 90 national Catholic organizations which
turned out these recommendations in a nine-hour
session.

Interestingly, the delegates avoided the
controversial call among some Catholic bishops
and right-to-life groups for a constitutional
amendment barring abortions. It would be
commendable if the delegates didn’t act on this
issue, which the courts have clearly decided, in
the remaining two days of the session.

The Detroit conference signifies a realistic,
progressive approach to current problems that
the church has previously ignored. Un-
fortunately, the delegates recommendations are
not binding. Catholic bishops will meet in May to
consider the recommendations.

The bishops owe it to their constituencies to
give full consideration to the delegates’
proposals.

of those newspeople who actually controlled the

substance of the debates.

Inclusion of a media panel,
terjected questions into the event, disrupting
what could have been a constant, face to face
debate. In addition, the media failed to provoke
discussion of some important issues, such as the

decline of urban areas.

Perhaps the overriding failure of the debates
was their effect on the campaign as a whole.
Ford and Carter spent most of their campaign
time dwelling on trivialities—Ford’s Eastern
European gaffe and Carter’s lust as related by
Playboy magazine— saving what issue-oriented
discussion there was for the debates.

The second debate—on foreign policy and
issues— was the most substantive of the three
presidential debates. And the Mondale-Dole
encounter was beneficial in giving the public a
view of the vice presidential candidates too often

overlooked.

But, on the whole, the debates didn’t live up to
their billing. A truer debate format, without
undue influence from the media and the can-
didates, might have produced the setting badly
needed for position-oriented discussion.

subjecting readers to a redundant
dose of my philosophy, I would like
to respond to two of the contentions.

ment intervention without proving
them. I intend to make amends by

taxes. and the like.

But today I will counter his
remark that the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is not a
failure. I refer those interested to a
brilliant research effort on the
subject by Prof. Sam Peltzman of
UCLA.

Prof. Peltzman studied the effects
of the stiffer FDA restrictions
enacted in 1962. He concluded that
the standards significantly reduced
the development of new chemical
entities because drug companies
found it more costly and less
profitable to conduct innovative
research.

Because less research was con~
ducted, fewer lifesaving drugs were
marketed. The absence of those
drugs killed many people. In Peltz-
man‘s conservative estimation, it
caused many more deaths than the
new standards saved. In my dic~
tionary, that situation is a failure.

My other response is to Mr.
Weinstein (Kernel, Oct. 11) who
concluded his letter with a summary
question.

It stated, “Mr. Harralson, if
maximum noninterference is to be a
guiding principle of governments,
why, back in 1974-75, when you and I
were student senators, did you raise
such hell about, and organize

resistance to the assembling of
homosexuals on UK property?"

Mr. Weinstein is mistaken. I have
never resisted the assembling of
homosexuals on UK property, nor
has UK (consult 1973 court
decisions). Homosexuals have use of
UK property under the same
provisions as any other students.
They can eat and relax in the
Student Center, study in the library,
and live in the residence halls.

WhatUK has refused to do is allow
two gay student groups, one in 1972
and one in 1975-76, to register as
student a‘ganizaiions. This decision
denied homosexuals the privilege of
registering organizations whose
purposes were to promote campus
and community understanding of
the gay movement, and to promote
selfunderstanding among gays.

The effect of the decisions was to
prevent a gay student group from
having the same rights as other
regiaered student groups (i.e. using
UK facilities for meetings, block
seating, etc.)

i believe the decisions were
wrong. I went on record favoring
registration in a comment in a Nov.
1974 Kernel. and I voted for a
Student Senate resolution of Dec.,
1974, which urged registration. I still
believe that gays deserve
registration, just as I believe any
non-Violent, non-treasonous group of
students deserve registration.

What Mr. Weinstein remembers is
my opposition to SG sponsorship of a
gay dance. I opposed 86’s in-
volvement while I was a senator.
and I vetoed a similar proposal
while I was 86 President. My belief
is, and it is detailed in my Oct. 1975
veto message. that it is inap-
propriate for SC to sponsor a dance
for anyone.

I hope the gay dance issue is one
this year’s SG won't have to face. It
doesn't do much for harmony.

Foreign policy
Differences between Ford and Carter
could be decisive factor in close race

By BARRY SCHWEID
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON—The way President Ford
has run foreign policy and Jimmy Carter’s
charge that Ford isn’t really at the throttle
could prove decisive in these final days of the
election campaign.
Flailing each other over both style and

substance, the two candidates have
delineated enough of a difference between
them to help settle what appears to be
very close race.

But in a broad sense, Ford and Carter also
have demonstrated that there is a con-
siderable agreement between them on the
outline of U.S. foreign policy—containing
communism, stemming the spread of
nuclear weapons and keeping the peace.

Ford has signaled that he plans no major
reversal or change of course if he is returned
to the White House for four more years. And
he has said he would like to retain Henry
Kissinger as secretary of state.

Carter has pledged to bring more
“morality" to foreign policy, to consult more
with Congress and the public. He has crit-
ticized Kissinger as a “Lone Ranger” caught
up in a “one-man policy of international
adventure.”

If one thing is clear about a Carter ad-
ministration, it is that there would be no
place in it for Henry Kissinger.

But can foreign policy be conducted
without the secrecy Carter laments? Would
he cut ties with most or all of the repressive
regimes in the world. By comparison, the
democracies are few in number.

Huge crowd applauds

Hua’s appearance

Whatever the answer, Carter appears
committed to injecting more morality into
foreign policy, to more openness and to
tougher tactics in dealing withthhe
Russians. “The Soviet Union," he com-
plains, “has known what they want in
detente and they've gotten it.”

Ford, for his part, seems comfortable with
and bent on maintaining the status quo in
foreign pdicy. His administration has not
been noticeably innovative. The one
significant exception was to assume prin-
cipal diplomatic responsibility for trans-
ferring control of Rhodesia from its 270,000
whites to its 6 million blacks. The outcome of
that move is still not clear.

The overriding foreign policy message of
the Ford campaign is: “What is more moral
than peace, and the United States is at peace
in the world." With that in mind, there has
also been a virtual pledge to continue efforts
in the Middle East, in southern Africa and
elsewhere to resolve conflicts peacefully.

From the start, seizing the inherent ad-
vantage of a presidential incumbent in a

 

. . . while Ford points to peace
as the principal achievement
of his adm'nistraiion'

 

race with a one-term governor, Ford has
stressed his experience. A quarter-century
in the House, a decade as the GOP leader
there, and his two years in the Oval Office.

As President, he has negotiated with the
Russians, pursued a relationship with China,
been the first president to visit Japan. Above
all, he says, peace has been the principal
goal and achievement of his administration.

“America is strong,” Ford says,
“America is free, America is respected. Not
a single young American is fighting or dying
on any foreign battlefield. America is at
peace with freedom."

TOKYO [APl—Hua Kuo-
feng received thunderous ap-
plause Sunday from a report-
ed one million Chinese on his
first public appearance as the
successor to Mao Tse—Tung as
leader of the world‘s most
populous nation.

The crowd in front of Tien
An Men—the Gate of Heaven—
ly Peace—also cheered a
report that the nation has
escaped “real danger from a
coupattempt involving Mao‘s
widow.

Peking Mayor Wu Teh told

the audience of soldiers and
civilians that Mao, before his
death at age 82 on Sept. 9,
personally had selected Hua
tosucceed him as Communist
party chairman. He added
that a “gang of four“ top
officials had tried to thwart
this and wanted to name
Mao‘s widow, Chiang Ching,
to the top party post.

Hua, in military uniform,
appeared atop the gate where
Mao had stood to proclaim
the founding of the People's
Republic on Oct. 1, 1949.

"FA KL'O-FENG

Hua, 57, was virtually un~
known, until last January
when he was picked as acting
premier following the death
of Premier Chou En-lai.

Friedman favors spending amendment

WASHINGTON [APl—Dr.
Milton Friedman, winner of
the 1976 Nobel Prize in Eco-
nomics, said Sunday that the
United States needs an a-
mendment to the constitution
setting a limit to government
spending, which he said a~
mounts to 40 cents of every
dollar, as the root cause of
inflation and- the unemploy-
ment he believes results.

Without endorsing either
man, Friedman said “as
between their programs,
President Ford is directed
much more towards keeping
down the expansion of gov-
emment—Jimmy Carter fa-
vors an expansion of govern-
ment spending.

“To stop this we need to set
a limit to government spend-
ing. I favor a constitutional
amendment setting a limit to
government spending."

Friedmen, a professor at

the University of Chicago for
m years, appeared on the
NBC program “Meet the
Press.“

Asked where cuts in gov-
ernment spending should be-

gin, Friedman said. “It
should start everywhere.
There should be a 10 per cent
cut across the board and then,
a year later, another 10 per
cent cut.“

Catholics adopt liberal stance

on women priests and celibacy

DETROIT [APl-Should
Roman Catholic priests be
allowed to marry and should
women be ordained Catholic
priests.

A convention here this past
weekend, which drew repre-
sentatives of a cross-section
of the nation's more than 45
million Catholics, proposed
that the church‘s U.S. bishops
consider the liberal program.

But they took more conser-
vative stances on birth con-
trol and abortion, choosing to

remain fairly close to the
present church position of
opposing artificial means of
birth control and advocating
bans on abortions.

More than 4,300 delegates
to the “Call to Action“ con-
ference. a Bicentennial pro-
ject sponsored by the Na-
tional Conference of Catholic
Bishops also favored aboli-
tion of regulations stipulating
automatic excommunication
for divorced Catholics who
remarry.
