Vol. LXXI. No. 61 Monday. November 20. I918 Stovall cal/s legislature to session (AP) —-— As Gov. Julian Carroll returned to Kentucky yesterday to cope with the special legislative session call of his lieutenant governor. a key ' lawmaker predicted the session would last about l0 days. House Speaker William Kenton. D- Lexington. said. however. that if he has his way. the Legislature simply will convene on Dec. II and then recess until perhaps early next year to consider the topics listed by Lt. Gov. Thelma Stoval. They include relief from various taxes and proposed reductions in various fines that were increased by the I978 General Assembly. Kenton said on a Lexington television panel that he is calling a meeting of the Democratic leadership in the House and Senate this week to set the agenda for the session. called by Stovall last Friday while Carroll was attending a governors‘ conference in Georgia. Kenton said it might be a good idea to pass a constitutional amendment which would prohibit a lieutenant governor from taking such action. He said the authorization came during a time when travel and Communication were comparatively primitive and a governor might be away from the state for a week on a routine trip.

No hope for bowl bid as Wildcats suffer a Georgia-esque loss to Florida Gators By JAMIE VAL'GHT Associate Sports Editor Saturday wasn‘t a very peachy day for Kentucky. “It was one of those kind of days." said a weary UK Coach Fran Curci. “We were our own worst enemy today." . C urci was referring to the mistake- ridden Wildcats‘ l8-l6 loss to Florida at Commonwealth IStadium. Kentucky lost three fumbles and had ' four passes intercepted in a Southeastern Conference game which was decided by Gator senior Berj Yepremian‘s 38-yard field goal with 42 seconds left to play. The setback removed all possibility for Kentucky to receive an invitation to the Peach Bowl. which will be held on Christmas Day in Atlanta. A victory over Florida and Tennessee — with the help of Georgia. who failed to beat Auburn - would have sent the Wildcats to the same bowl for the second time in three years. “We made too many mistakes."said Curci. whose Cats lost to (ieorgia I7- |6 three weeks ago on a field goal. also in the final seconds. “We have some young kids who make mistakes. Our guys played hard and that's all you can ask them to do. We have a good football team. but not a great team. “This was not as tough a loss as Georgia. It‘ll take me a long time to get over that one. That was a much harder game to lose." Kentucky split end Bill T'olston said. “We just didn't play like we should have." Kentucky. now 4-S-l overall and 2-3 in SEC. raced to a I6-l5 lead with 4:45 remaining when running back Rod Stewart scored on a one-yard touchdown run. climaxing a 60-yard scoring drive in IS plays. One play earlier. the Wildcats had kept their victory hopes alive when the officials penalized Florida for pass interference on UK‘s fourth down. Kentucky quarterback Larry McCrimmon had thrown an Florida’s Yepremian proves is something for the whole By BRIAN aeran Staff Writer Maybe it‘s genetics. Or maybe their mother made them eat a lot of Wheaties. At any rate. Berj Yepremian. Florida‘s kicker. proved Saturday that kicking talent is all in his family. booting four three-pointers. including the last-minute one that lifted the Gators to an l8-l6 victory over UK. Yepremian‘s older brother. Garo. is one of the NFL‘s premier kickers. Yepremian's statistics are just as impressive as his performance. against Kentucky. On the season. he is l6-for~ l9 on field goal attempts and I9-for-20 on extra points. The man is not flawless. however. Saturday. for the first time this season. he missed an extra point. The miss came in the first quarter. during which the Gators jumped to a 9-0 lead. After the game. Berj obviously had not forgotten that miss. “I'm going to call Garo in about five minutes.“ Yepremian said. "I‘m sure he listened to the game on the radio and I'll bet the first thing he asks me is why I missed that extra point. ljust hurried it." Berj said that miss weighed heavily on his mind when he came in to perform his late-in-the-game heroics. “It was my fault and I felt bad about it because I let my team down. But I wasn't nervous; I‘ve been in pressure situations before. You can‘t afford to get nervous: it‘ll destroy you." Yepremian said the Wildcats tried to distract his concentration. “They were making remarks about my mother." Yepremian said. "And‘ they don‘t even know her. It did I do me up. ljust kicked the ball and looked at them and said. “Thank you.“ But Yepremian had no hard feelings. “I don‘t blame them." he said. “They were just trying to win the game. I would‘ve done the same thing if I had been in their position. but I might not have been so nice." incomplete to Tolston on that play. But the game wasn‘t finished. The (iators began their eventual winning drive. starting on Florida‘s ll. Ten plays later. 5-6 Yepremian booted his fourth field goal of the contest to give the (iators their fourth win of the season in nine meetings. “We had two or three chances to break it open.“ said a happy Florida Coach Doug Dickey. “There were two or three ways we could lose and it looked like we were going to do it. “But we kept on fighting. On the final drive we felt that ifwe could reach the 35. we'd be all right. I am very happy for Yepremian." Curci said. “Florida is a sleeping giant. They‘ve got the talent. You don‘t let them jump out on you.“ After Florida. which made four turnovers. took a 9-0 lead. Kentucky had the crowd of 56.500 roaring when the Wildcats rallied to score l0 points with less than three minutes to go in the second frame. Split end Felix Wilson gallopcd 80 kicking talent family Yepremian said he is “very close" to Garo and that the elder brother taught him a secret about kicking when Berj was in high school. He wouldn‘t reveal what that secret is. _ "Whenever I’m home. Garo and l are together 90 percent of the time." Berj said. "We just go out in the yard and goof around. Mom thinks we're never going to grow up. We're just young at heart. I guess." Yepremian said he wouldn't mind being drafted by the Dolphins. but he hopes to play for Tampa Bay. Berj nearly left school last year to try out at the Buc‘s training camp. but opted for his senior year at Florida. Yepremian‘s winning kick was one of the few bright spots in a season that‘s been about as warm as Saturday‘s weather. The Gators have never satisfied Florida fans since coming within a hair of winning the Southeastern Conference football title each of the three seasons. mConthued on me 5 yards fora touchdown on a pass from McCrimmon and an extra-point kick made it 9-7.

After UK linebacker Jim Kovach. who led both teams in tackles with I3 solos and five assists. intercepted a Florida pass. Tommy Griggs then kicked a 42-yard field goal with 58 seconds left in the quarter to give Kentucky a l0-9 halftime advantage. Continued on page S - benefits or of l'niversity of Kentucky Lexington. Kentucky Decision delayed for adopting new transcript proposal By DEBBIE MCDANIEL Copy fditor Controversy still surrounds the adoption of relative transcripts by Senate Council. It delayed a final decision until additional studies of samples of anonymous random voluntary relative transcripts can be made by council members. The council voted Friday to table the proposal implementing transcripts at UK until it receives the samples of the format for the proposed relative transcript. The transcripts proposed for UK would list 40 to 50 courses by name. the average GPA of the class. the average grade in the class. the student‘s grade and the number of students in the class. Arts and Sciences Dean Donald Sands. who initiated action to implement the transcripts. met with the council Friday and answered the .najority of its questions. Yet after a lengthy discussion. it deferred action . for the third time in four weeks. Two Student Government representatives on the council. Business and Economics Senator Bun English and SG President Gene 'Tichenor. submitted a Iii-question memo for the meeting resulting from three weeks of research on possible detriments transcripts might have to career plans of UK students. “A lot of the questions I won‘t be able to answer." Sands said. “Transcripts provide some additional information about the course. It seemed to us when we discussed it (relative transcripts) it was to the student‘s advantage.“ Later in the meeting. when a council member mentioned tabling the motion. he argued. "What the Senate should be doing is enforcing the principle." Sands said the only other college presently using relative transcripts is the University of Utah. which implemented it last year. The concept of relative transcripts initiated at the University of California at Berkeley. but mandatory relative transcripts was defeated by strong student opposition. Even though such transcripts were initiated as a means to combat grade inflation. Sands said "it certainly was not designed to beat the faculty over the head“ to demand they assign un- ianated grades. Students applying for admission to medical. professional or graduate school would benefit most from having a transcript providing additonal information for admissions. personnel. Sands said. After the obvious top applicants are accepted. the admission people must select from the middle range of applicants with similar qualifications; a student with a solid 3.0 grade point average who has taken rigorous courses will benefit from a transcript showing his GPA has more weight than another student with a 3.0 GPA and simple courses. Sands said. Several council members asked whether admissions people for medical. professional and graduate schools would require relative transcripts if they were available to UK applicants. They implied that students not submitting transcripts would be discriminated against. “These things that begin as a good idea and voluntary. rather rapidly becbme a great idea and required.“ council member Jane Emmanuel said. “I just don‘t think it‘s going to be that useful to the majority of the students.“ “I don't know how many students would take advantage of it. probably not a large number." Sands agreed. adding most would be students applying for admissron to medical. professional or graduate school. After Sands left. the council debated the issue for several more minutes before deciding to request additional information. “I don‘t think the students have enough information to make a decision and I think students should have input." English said. Law Senator Stockton Wood asked that the sample transcripts contain examples of out-of-state students. people who return after several years. students taking several pass-fail courses or transferring from community colleges and general studies students in addition to those with majors. -1oday state sale.

FOR THE FIRST TIME .the population growth rate of the world has reversed and is declining. population experts sa '. )But they say the actual number of people being added to the world is still increasing and that zero population growth rate will not be reached until between the years 2020 and 2025. Zero population growth will occur when the world birth rate and death rate are equal. A U .5. Census Bureau report released yesterday shows the world growth rate was l.9 percent in I976 compared to 2 percent a decade earlier. The total population increased from 3.5 billion in mid- I967 to an estimated 4.3 billion in mid-l977. the report says. The new report shows that in almost half of the world‘s most crowded countries . the growth rate declined in the last l0 years. Demographers say there is no pat explanation why the growth rate has reversed. weather LEXINGTON METRO FORECAST TONIGHT. mostly cloudy and cool. Highs in the mid and upper 40 s.
