fund research committee

By BRIDGET MCFARIAND
Staff Writer

At its first meeting of the fall
semester last night. ‘UK‘s Student
Government voted to include two
freshmen on 80‘s Senate. Currently
no freshmen hold elected office to
represent approximately 22 percent of
UK's student body.

The freshmen senators will be
elected during the fall semester in a
election limited to UK‘s freshmen
class.

In other business, the Senate voted
to form a research committee in order
that 30 will be well versed on issues
dealing with higher education.

Senator Bobby Dee Gunnell told
the Senate that many times Senate
members have gone before the

University Senate without necessary
infoirr'tation regarding. issues being
discussed. He added that most
Senators did not have the time to
research issues themselves.

The bill appropriated Sl00 to be
used to pay individuals to do required
research. Senator Bun English.
sponsor of the bill. said he hoped more
money would eventually be
appropriated to further development
of the research committee.

In community related issues. the
Senate voted to:

allocate a $60 honorarium to the
Campus United Way,

transformed “this impossible dream“
of Middle East peace into a realistic

Carter went in triumph to a joint
session of the House and Senate. took
their cheers and applause and then
{resented his Camp David negotiating
partners. Egypt‘s Anwar Sadat and
Israel‘s Menachem Begin.

STATE CORRECTIONS COMMISSIONER David Bland said
yesterday that maximum charges would be pressed against a Kentucky State
Penitentiary inmate accused of shooting and wounding prison
Superintendent Donald Bordenkircher.

Bordenkircher was wounded in the left leg Saturday evening when he
confronted an inmate assigned to work as a trusty at the warden's state-
owned home a few hundred yards from the prison.

Corrections authorities identified .lohn Howard Fulton as the trusty who
allegedly shot Bordenkircher. Fulton had been assigned to do lawn and other
chores around the superintendent' s house.

THE STATE Pl'BLIC SERVICE COMMISSION has granted the
Kentucky American Water Co. an ll percent rate increase.

Kentucky American bills quarterly and the increase for the average
customer will be about $2.l9 per quarter. or 73 cents a month.

The increase will amount to 8867.000 3 year. just under half of what the
company had requested.

The rate increase applied to the 57.000 customers of Kentucky American

THE FIRST INDICTMENTS from two grand jury investigations of
fraud within the General Services Administration could be handed down in
about eight weeks. a top Justice Department official said yesterday.

But a second department official said the cases “in a so-called advanced
stage of development" involve “relatively low-level“ persons.

\leanwhile. a congressional watchdog agency said fraud and related
white-collar crimes against the government are not limited to the GSA and
such illegal activities cost taxpayers between 82.5 billion and $25 billion a
year

"No one knows the magnitude of fraud against the government." said
GSA Comptroller General Flmer B. Staats. "Fraud is happening without
anyone knowing about it."

The testimony came as the committee held a hearing to learn how various
government investigations of the GSA were progressing. That subcommittee

on federal spending practices and open gmernment will hear from GSA
officials today

COLORADO IS ONLY the latest of 2‘ states to legalire handguns for
.deer hunters but it is the first state to make sure those hunters using pistols
know how. says Gail Boyd of the Colorado Division of Wildlife.

Boyd. a safety officer for the division. said bear hunters also will be

L.

allowed to hunt with handguns in Colorado for the first time.

Before a hunter is allowed to legally use a pistol for hunting deer and hear
he must take written and shooting tests. Boyd said.

While the written test requires something more than a passing knowledge
of pistol. the performance test separates docrs from talkers. those who have
taken both said.

A handgunner must be able to place four of six shots within an ll— inch
circle at 50 yards without using an artificial rest of any kind.

AFTERSHOCKS ROLLED YESTERDAY across the parched
countryside of northeastern Iran where an estimated IS. 000 persons are
reported dead from a giant quake that demolished 40 villages and badly
damaged 60 others.

In Tabas hit by the quake‘ 5 epicenter. the dead were stretched out under
the palm trees. their bodies frozen in grotesque postures of sudden death and
wrapped iii whitc sheets or colorful handwoven cloth.

The quake. Iran s worst this year. killed an estimated three- fourths of
Tabas l i 000 residents Most of the survivors were seriously injured and the
most severely hurt were flown to Tehran for treatment.

The official Pars news agency said rescue workers at the scene feared the
death toll from the 7. 7 Richter scale quake would swell above the IS. 000
mark as reports were received from remote areas. In villages surrounding
Tabas. thousands were believed buried in the rubble.

GOVERNMENT FORCES were air- lifted into positions around Esteli in

maintain a military presence on the
West Bank, even after the five-year

confirmed that the agreement would

’Ten commandments’ law
should not have passed

Kentucky‘s public schools were recently spared
from a law that would have seriously breached the
separation of church and state.

Passed last year in the General Assembly, the
measure required that the Ten Commandments be
posted in public classrooms. Responding to a suit
filed by spokesmen for diverse religions and groups,
Franklin Circuit Judge Squire Williams halted
enforcement of the law last Saturday.

Apparently, Williams agreed in essence with the
arguments made by opponents of the law. Among
other things. they said that it would give preference
to a particular religion, and would respect the
establishment of religion, both of which are
unconstitutional. .

Why would the state legislature pass such a bill,
one that clearly contradicts the US. Constitution?
Probably because the state common. no
dummies, are aware of the fervent luadansatalista
that is a powerful influence among their
constituencies. It's easier to acquiesce and slide
these kind of hot items by, rather than beingaocused
of trying to destroy religion.

The bill’s success was helped when Rep. Claudia
Riner, D-Louisville, the bill's sponsor, closed the
one excuse route for vetoing the measure. She
stipulated in the legislation that the copies be
distributed with private money, rendering
complaints about wasted money ineffective.

Not only is the law unconstitutional because it
recognizes a religion, but because the Ten
Commandments are fundamentally non-secular. As
the suit pointed out, the Decalogue isa series of laws
and moral stipulations, things that a government
has no business posting, and thus endorsing, in
public classrooms.

One .wonders what kind of effect the posting of

*4.
VJ.)

the commandments would have among students
today. It’s difficult to imagine any great number of

children being saved from heathen, or even to.

imagine their becoming more devout because a
sheet of paper is hung up on a wall.

More likely, stamping the commandments with
official approval and. posting them in every
classroom would make their rejection certain.
Students would ignore them as another example of
inane, bureaucratic propaganda. And assuredly
many pupils, especially those who are not followers
of a J udeo-Christian faith, would be offended by the
act.

This latest struggle illustrates the growing
problems of maintaining the church-state
distinction in the educational process. integration
and concern over the costs, safety and security in
public schools have swelled parochial enrollments.

Kentucky recently had a controversy about
whether the state ‘should have authority to approve
textbooks used in private schools, and other
difficulties between secular education and
government are surfacing. For instance, the “tax-
credits-for-tuition" bill, though its passage is
doubtful, raised the question of whether parents
whose children are in parochial schools should also
receive tax breaks. And Chicago‘s Catholic schools
are currently disputing the National Labor
Relations Board’s stand that teachers in that system
should be able to unionize.

Keeping the separation between government and
religion is a difficult task, especially in education.
But it‘s necessary if the United States is going to
have the kind of climate where a citizen can freely
chose his religion without fear of interference, or
even encouragement, from the government.

Students deserve break today
but price here is too high

Students deserve a break today, and they may get
one soon — but not because of an early vacation.

UK may add a McDonald‘s in the Student
Center; or maybe a Hardee’s; or maybe some other
fast~food restaurant.

The University is negotiating with the two
franchise operations to locate a branch on campus.
It could possibly replace the grill, Equinox, ice
cream and pizza areas that might be moved to the
planned Student Center addition.

(It‘s curious that McDonald's should be
interested in having a branch at UK, especially since
the company purchased a site on Limestone Street
about a quarter of a mile away, which is now being
cleared.)

Before a restaurant is accepted, both parties must

come to agreement on things like disposition of
revenues and leasing fees. Presumably, UK gets a
cut of whatever the franchise’s income would be.
But the administration should also take into
account possible problems that a fast-food
restaurant might bring. Students could not use meal
cards at it, and combined with a possible lower

income than the current grill has, that could prompt .

an increase in room and board rates.

There are acceptable reasons for rate hikes, but is
the pleasure of eating sesame-seed bun hamburgers
and fries one of them? U K officials should carefully
consider advice from student government leaders
and others before making decisions that could affect
more than just what students eat.

 

 

Worshipping the elevator god

A few years ago someone concluded
that the office tower elevators needed
Muzak. A system abruptly appeared
and persisted in violating the rider's
sensibilities. Upbeat show tunes
disturbed early morning contempla-

other differences are minimal. My
office could easily pass for the cubicle
assigned to any District Six Claims
Agent. Its very uniformity tells me that
I am a common unit in a larger
enterprise. ,

 

robert hemenway

 

tion, Mantovani piped you home with
contrapuntal harps. Outraged
professors, lovers of “good“ music,
complained‘ to Buildings and
Grounds, telephoned the Dean, and
bitched fiercely- all to little effect.

In the end faculty vandalism
sabotaged the system. Without
conspiracy, in spontaneous sedition,
professors began daily disconnecting
the speakers. Campus electricians
sought to hide the wires, but the
connections were ferrcted out. After a
brief standoff, Muzak disappeared as
mysteriously as it arrived.

Everyone was startled by this
radical remedy, so out of character for
mild mannered professors. If the
faculty was upset over the attempt to
wire their office building with the
sound system of an Insurance Agency,
why the hostility, the apparent
animosity towards the building itself?

I suspect the faculty reacted out of
secret guilt about inhabiting the office
tower in the first place. Deep in our
hearts we know that the tower could be
the home office of any medium sized
burial society. The eighteenth floor
has its boardroom furniture, the
interior decoration below compares
favorably with the utility of a paring
knife.

An insurance company, sensitized
to management-employee relations,
probably would not have all the gall to
commandeer an elevator each time the
executives held a board meeting, but

To change the metaphor, and
borrow from E.L. Doctorow, the
genius of the office tower is that it
carries to its final proposition the
concept of education as a system of
industrial manufacture. Not only are
the parts of the finished product
interchangeable (Computer Science
423 and the seminar in Rabelais
become identical three hour units), but
the teacher-workers responsible for
the student-products are themselves
interchangeable parts.

Admittedly the university as big
business, the campus as factory, is a
tiresome cliche. Yet the figurative
language helps to identify the psychic
costs of office tower life. The tower's
workers profess to believe that they
have escaped the conformity of the
organizational stereotype. Yet deep
within lurks the unwanted truth. A
building with identical offices attacks
the seholar's secret pride, the profound
but unexpressed conviction that one‘s
discipline is a special mode of inquiry,
inherently different from that of the
blackheads on the floor below. The
tower does not distinguish between
Social Professions and Greek
grammar. In such a space one
struggles to maintain academic
'identity.

I The elevators best symbolize our
dilemma. The tower offers six. At any
given moment three function
perfectly, provided the elevator god
has not lost His, or Her, sense of

humor. Their erratic performance not
only reminds us of our powerlessness
before an omnipotent force, but
encourages areligious response. They
prove that it is an unpredictable world,
and they ask for an expression of faith.
We give it. constantly, even riding
when we have only a story or two to
climb.

The elevators are a means of
ascension, yet we are ever aware of the
possibility of being hurled downward
to eternal damnation. No one confuses
the elevators with radios or water
faucets. Their saving energy, their
grace, is not automatically bestowed.
They have not the slightest
understanding of good works.

The elevator also carries a ritual
message, which we respond to with a
holy silence. Our reverance is a form of
worship, an offering to the gods of
efficiency. How else explain the
sudden lowering of voices as the doors
open, the suspension of secular
conversations until leaving the sacred
ground? The man who persists in
greeting people he doesnt know, or
attempts to make small talk, violates
cultural taboos. The worshippers push
away from him. hugging the walls,
fearful that the almighty wrath will
suspend everyone between floors.

What does it all mean? Who knows?
Life is full of harmless rituals. Yet if
organization is the ultimate deity, its
churches satisfy few of our needs. Do
those faculty vandals signal the Dark
Ages? Or a Reformation?

Absurd

The Images column dealing with sex
[crimes presents a distorted view of the
seriousness of such crimes. The author
takes a frivolous attitude in describing
several events which occurred on or
near the UK campus. Ms. Fields
sounds like the juror in the first Inez
Garcia tria who said that if a man
“wants a little, he should get it no
harm in that!"

First, the descriptions of the crimes
leave one wondering why in the hell
the victims just sat there. For example.
thewoman who was followed by a
man, got into her car, locked the
doors, and apparently watched as the
man masturbated in front of her
windowuwhy didnt she move the car,
blow the horn, or at least turn on the
windshield wipers? Surely a woman
can fight back in situations where her
life is not in danger.

Any discussion of sex crimes should
not treat the examples cited as mere
inconveniences. The examples are of
serious crimes which are terrifying
experiences for the victims. The terror
felt by the victims should have been

Second, and most offensive, is the
statement by Susan Rice, director 0;
Lexington‘s Rape Crisis Center.
“Most women who come here don't
mind the sex aspect of rape.“ Women
“mind“ all aspects of rape. It‘s the “sex
aspect" that distinguishes rape from
other violent crimes, and leads to the
“greater feeling of vulnerability. . .“ If
this statement is indicative of Ms.
King‘s feelings about rape, our Rape
Crisis Center desperately needs new
leadership.

Perhaps the second part of this
discussion will carry the author‘s
absurd attitude one step further, and
we will be entertained by topics like
“Sexual Abuse for Fun and Profit”
and “Body Language for Flashers.” I
can hardly wait.

Bravo, Fitz

I really enjoyed Tom Fitzgerald's
column in the Kernel last Friday.
September ISth. l was particularly
moved by the student‘s poem and the
stark realities that it brought to mind.
Seriously, it was an excellent article.

I feel that there is only one other
thing that should have been mentioned
~ how Jesus Christ fits in. For He is
the only one who can truly make our

spirits free to live and grow, through .

His perfect love and eternal
forgiveness of sins, which He offers
free to all people. Thank you.

U.S. rider is still
in UK hospital
after Event fall

LEXINGTON (AP) A
member of the US. equestrian
team was reported in serious
condition yesterday at the UK
Medical Center. suffering from
injuries she received in a fall
during the World Three-Day
Event Championships.

Caroline Treviranus. 24. of
Berrryville. \’a.. was injured
when her mount. Comic
Relief. ’threw’her after faltering
at _a jump Sunday in the
stadium jumping competition
at the Kentucky Horse Park.

Traviranus‘ condition was
reported as critical at one point
yesterday. But a hospital
spokeswoman said last night
that the woman has remained
in serious condition since being
admitted and remained
unconscious.

Treviranus. who was fifth in
the standings when the stadium
jumping competition began. is
known for her courageous
riding. She broke her
collarbone in the fall of I974
World Championships at
Burghley. England. but
remounted and completed the
course after receiving the
injury.

“She has no broken bones.
no blood clots and so far she
doesn‘t have any brain damage.
Everything isgoingwellso far."
said her stepfather. Alexander
Mackay-Smith. who remained
in Lexington Monday to
monitor her progress.

“She looks fine. The only

fear here is brain damage from
swelling and so far there has
been no swelling."

Commenting on the
accident. Mackay-Smith said.
“They were using heavy poles
during tbejumps. and the pole
hit her in the head. Normallya
fall of this kind wouldn‘t be

Placement Service
now arranging

help for seniors

By GIL LAWSON
Staff Writer

Students crowded into the
Mathews Building Friday to
start the annual hunt forjobs as
the Placement Service began
registering students for job
interviews with campus
recruiters.

Harry Jones. associate
director of the Placement
Service. said there is usually a
crowd of seniors on the first
day of sign~ups. He estimated
there were as many as 50
:students in the office at one
time on Friday.

The same day. the Placement
Service also released bulletins
listing the dates representatives
of prospective employers will
be on campus in September
and October.

The bulletins are sent to
various departments on
campus where they are to be
posted. Students may also
receive copies of the bulletins
from the Placement Service.

Jones said more than I9.000
job vacancies were reported to
the Placement Service last year.

With the same large numbers
expected for this year. Jones
said several changes will be
made within the service to “ease
the flow and make it easier for
students.“

This year. the bulletin with
interview dates will be
published three times a month
instead of twice. The bulletin
will come out on the first. mm
and 20th of each month.

Jones said another change
will involve the sign-up

procedure. More Sign-up
books will be made available
and the bulletins will be color
coded to make it easier for
students to make appointments
with interviewers.

The Placement Service will
also offer a number of
workshops for students
preparing to graduate and
search for jobs.

These workshops will deal
with interviewing techniques
and resume writing. as well as
how the Placement Service can
be used effectively. In addition.
information about visiting
companies the student is
interested in is available.

One of the advantages of
these workshops. Jones said. is
that a panel of campus
recruiters will be available to
answer students‘ questions and
discuss interviews.

Jones said seniors should
begin to make plans by
registering with the Placement
Service. Students must be
registered with the service
before they can sign up for
interviews.

Jones said the demand for
May graduates is heavy in some
fields such as accounting and
the recruiters begin interview-
ing in the fall.

He added that st
