For the last several years, Eli Lilly and
Company, one of the nation's largest pharma-
ceutical manufactureres, has sponsored trips
each spring for UK Medical School students to its
plant in lndianapolis. Such trips have apparently
raised few ethical questions for Lilly officials or
the students participating in the trips.

Although students had to pay for their own
transportation to and from Indianapolis. once
there, their tab was picked up by Lilly. The
expense covered rooms and meals of the medical
students and their wives.

Lilly also paid, probably unknowingly, the
expenses of the girlfriends of a few medical
students because the coeds went passing as
wives, according to two sources that successfully
pulled off such a caper.

Bob Manning, a spokesman for Lilly. said
students and spouses were not allowed unlimited
alcoholic beverages, as two students who made
the trip alledged.

“Sometimes we do have a little reception
before dinner,“ Manning said, “but it's not an
extravagant thing at all.”

Such trips are not restricted to UK students.
Lilly also sponsors trips for students from other
schools of medicine and pharmacy, as well as for
practicing physicians and pharmacists.

Manning said that although some drug
companies have discontinued or limited such
visitation programs, Lilly’s program has contin-
ued to grow.

Possible ethical questions

Pharmaceutical benefits
may turn students’ heads

"We've had a big increase in the last year or so
of the number of medical schools which have
come in to see our facilities and to also see our
clinical medicine section," he said.

Manning attributed the increase to a desire
among medical students for more knowledge
and “a looser scheduling“ of classes in the
medical schools.

Three student sources said Lilly also took the
visiting students and Spouses to the Indianapolis
500 time trials in 1975 and tw0 students said they
were given free movie tickets.

Ron Dearsing. a Lilly sales representative who
deals with the medical school pharmacy, and
Manning denied that Lilly provided entertain-
ment for the medical students while in Indiana-
polis.

Dearsing said students were not taken to the
lndianapolis 500 time trials. as the students
alledged.

Manning said no entertainment was provided
at company expense. “Many years ago we
provided (students with) theater tickets, but that
was discontinued years ago," he said.

Both Dearsing and Manning contend that
Lilly‘s visitation program is based on commun-
ication and education between drug companies
and doctors rather than exploitation or solicita-
tion of the dispenser by the manufacturer.

Dearsing said the visitation program is
“vitally needed" so students will know “what
ethical drug companies are doing." The pro-
gram, he said, is designed to give medical
students some idea of “what is involved in the
development. research and dollars expended, in

producing high quality drugs. And the best way
to do that is showing them first-hand."

He said, “i don't think there is an ethical
problem."

Manning said the program is designed to show
students the complexity of the drug-making
process, and make them aware of the quality
controls used by Lilly.

The company hopes such activities do not
compromise the students, Manning said.

“Lilly doesn't in anyway intend to compromise
the student or ingratiate ourselves to the point
that he would pick our product if he did not think
it was the best product for his patient," Manning
said.

Dr. Roger 0. Lambson, UK’s Medical Col-
lege‘s associate dean for student affairs. said he
did not think the trip and gracious treatment the
students received from Lilly would be an
influence when the students later, as doctors,
write prescriptions.

“Physicians and other professsional people
who prescribe drugs,“ said Lambson, “are
perceptive and knowledgable enough, and are
concerned with their patients enough that they
will prescribe what is best ( for their patient).

“I view it as an educational process," he said.

Lambson, however, said solicitous actions of
drug companies toward those responsible for
dispensing drugs does raise “reasonable ethical
questions."

“The answer,” he said, “depends on what is
done (while 'on the trip) and the pressure
exerted. As far as medical students are
concerned, it is something they should appreci-

Americans are fond of reminding
themselves and others that this
country enjoys the highest stan-
dard of living in the world. Where
else, it is often asked, do so many

people partake of such material
abundance?

This assertion is hard to refute.
Americans do seem to possess
more of just about everything than
anyone else. including the undesir-
able by-products of the “good life"
which we tend to avoid talking
about.

Among these by-products are the
increasing tons of solid waste
generated each year: aluminum
cans, newspapers, cardboard box-
es. food scraps, paper bags. This

country has to find ways of
disposing of over 100 million tons of
refuse in urban areas alone.

Lexington‘s solid waste disposal
has been in the news in recent
months. The sanitary landfill on
Old Frankfort Pike has been filled
to capacity and is to be closed Aug.
1. it will be replaced by a new
landfill on the 440-acre Wilson
Farm near the Lexington Blue
Grass Army Depot.

Selecting the new landfill site
took “years“ according to Gordon
Garner, commissioner of sanita-
tion and public works for the Urban
County Government. Garner said
the search took so long because an
environmentally safe location was
needed and no member of the
Urban County Council wanted the
landfill in his or her own district.

Garner said the city will dump
350 tons of refuse per day at the
new site in addition to 300 ions from
private haulers. The Lexington
Herald has reported that Win-
chester and Paris are seeking
permission to deposit another 100
tons per day at the landfill.

The Urban County Council will
soon accept bids for the private
operaton of the new landfill that
will, according to Garner, cost over
$600,000 a year to operate. He said
the private contractor would have
to post a $50,000 security bond to
insure proper operation of the
landfll. This is in addition to
$250,000 in equipment required for
operation.

have are sufficient to protect us

Dispute continues

over SG phone abuse;

Haering pays for calls

By TOM EBLEN
Kernel Staff Writer

Disagreement over the extent of
Student Government (SG) tele-
phone abuse prompted the estab-
lishment of the SG Phone Over-
sight Committee.

The bill establishing the commit-
tee, introduced by Senator-at-
Large Craig Meeker, was aimed at
preventing the further use of SC
phones for private long-distance
calls.

One recent incident involved $62
Worth of non-business calls, many
that were made by SC Vice
President Hal Haering. It was
reported that when the bill was
introduced at the June 22 80
meeting, llaering presented SG
with a check for $51 to cover the
cost of calls he had made. Haering
could not be reached for comment
this week.

Meeker later denied any know-
ledge of Haering‘s check. “This
could not have been true,“ Meeker
said. “The phone bill for the entire
month only amounted to about $50,
at least $30 of which had been (for)
specific SG business.“

80 President Mike McLaughlin
said, however, that Haering had
presented SG 3 check. He said he
could not understand why Meeker
would deny knowledge of it since
Meeker had seen the check and had
discussed it with him (McLaugh-
lin). He also said the conversation
about Haering‘s check had been
taped.

McLaughlin said, "Hal gave me
a check for $50 or $51." He
explained that the check had been
drawn up hastily the morning
before the bill was introduced to
show that Haering intended to pay
for calls he had made.

“That check was given back, and

he later gave me a (second) check
for $37 to pay for his calls because
he had made enough (calls) to
draw a line between business and
pleasure," McLaughlin said.

McLaughlin said, however, that
the bill had been written quickly
and did not correctly represent the
situation leading to the establish-
ment of the committee. “I feel that
the wording of the bill should have
been changed from ‘illegal and
unethical' to ‘improper’," he said.

MIKE MCLA UGHLIN
‘Telephone bill’ written too quickly

McLaughlin stated that in the
past. senators and SG officers had
made personal long-distance calls,
charging them to the 80 account,
and later reimbursing SC for them.
According to McLaughlin, almost
all such calls had been paid for.

Meeker blamed the problem on
the lack of specific guidelines for
the use of SO phones. insisting that
there was “no real dishonesty on
anyone‘s part," he said, “i have
discussed this with Mike Mc
Laughlin and Dean (Frank) Harris
and Dean (Joe) Burch. We felt that
some sort of guidelines were
needed because this could be a
dangerous precedent."

(Editor‘s note: This is the second of a
two-part commentary on WBKY,
UK’s FM radio station.)

Therefore, students should be the
principle participants in the operation
of University based radio stations...
from the most menial jobs all the way
through management. Students, as
broadcasters, usually don’t have a lot
of habitsto unlearn in order tofit in to
the radio environment they find on
campus. In fact, they usually have no
experience whatsoever, other than
that 'ifelongexperience of recipient of
broadcast messages. The role
reversal available through work with
non-commercial radio offers the
participant a chance to explore in-
dividualized concepts of “how things
should be done", be it free association
with music, or in-depth news and
public affairs work, or revitalization
of allegedly ”dead” concepts from
radio’s golden age ...... the
possibilities go on and on.

Students as broadcaster, lackingthe

heavily stylized, molded and
redundant hype pattern of "com-
mercial radio" can entertain and

fail miserably.

But in the long run, the concept
works and is well worth its periodic
regressions. For the cynic reading
this I would like to close with a
description of how it works at one
radio station in New Mexico.

KUNM-FM is licensed to the
Regents of the University of New
Mexico in Albuquerque. The station
l960’s as a
"carrier-current" (non—broadcast)
operation~--—moved to full stereo FM
at3.5 Kilowatts in 1967....and iustthis
year completed construction of a new
transmitter site on tip of the Sandia
Mountains at the east edge of
Albuquerque. The station now has an
effective radiated power of 8.7
Kilowatts with an antenna over one
mile above average terrain. That
computes a power equivalency of
100,00 watts, which puts that station’s
signal within reach of over 750,000
people, 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year. Not so unique as radio stations
90.

What is unique is the fact that the
statio is funded totally by student
money (from the Associated Students
of the University of New Mexico...a
student governing body which ap-
portions over $000,000 annually
(collected as "activity fees" paid by
each student) to student
organizations) and for the most part
is run by University of New Mexico
students (at this writing, the KUNM
staff numbered 35.).

Letter needs correction
on history of Lebanon

i believe that Mr. Mark Man-
ning’s letter concerning the
situation in Lebanon will mislead
those who read it. I should
therefore like to offer a
clarification to his commentary as
well as present Mr. Mark Manning
with a brief but dearly needed
lesson in Lebanese history and
government.

in the first place, Mr. Mark
Manning, if you knew anything
about Lebanese government, you
would know ‘hat the Christians do
not have “an uniusf stranglehold”
in the
unicameral legislature, there are
five Nioslems to every six Christian
delegates, which is a far cry from
being a stranglehold.

An although, according to the
constitution, the president must be
a Christian, the constitution
maintains that the prime minister
must be a Niosiem.

In the second place, the govern-

mental set-up was not by ”old
colonial law“. To the contrary,
after the French granted in-

dependence to their mandate,
which lasted from after WWl until
after WWll, the French and
Lebanese together, decided how to
form the government such that all
religious sects would be fairly
represented.

Thirdly, not all the Moslems are
as poor as you are led to believe,
Mr. Mark Manning. Your Kamal
Jumblatt, Rashid Karami, and
even Yasser Arafat are millionaire
politicians who would capitalize
upon their own mother.

And if you think most Christians
are wealthy, well W,ngt.
They spend their time working and
educating themselves to have a"
better living, not engaging in
guerilla tactics. They spend their
money on food and education, andl
not on military arms.

And in the fourth place, MrMark
Manning, can i ask you why you
think that Lebanon owes the
Palestinians a damn thing? When
the Palestinians were tragically
made refugees, Lebanon, out of its
good graces ahd hospitality, gave
them Lebanese citizenship and a

new place to begin again.

But instead, their children go
begging and hungry while ex-
pensive guns become stacked
around their cardboard huts.

Why, Mr. Mark Manning, should
Lebanon be sacrificed in the name
of Palestine? Palestine disap-
peared over 1!) years ago. Palestine
is only an excuse to make war and
kill innocent children and destroy
Lebanon.

What do you think you can ac-
complish in a forum when the
entire Arab world has made an ass
of itself trying to. resolve the
situation? Can 'you bring back
25, 000 dead“, Can you restore
missing arms, legs, and ears? Can
you erase the memories of the
children who will survivive this
hell? Can you restore Lebanon?

Oh, how I loved my home, how i
always looked forward to going
back....but t can never go back to
lLebanon...Lebanon, Mr. Mark
Manning, is dead.

With the exception of Station
Manager and Chief Engineer, all are

students. The Station Manager and
Chief Engineer however, were
students at the time of their ap-
pointment to those positions.
A skeletal staff is on the payroll, the -
remainder are volunteers.

KUNM is not part of the academic
community, though some depart-
ments offer credit for work done
there. The only link between the
station and the Univrsity exists
through a ”Radio Board."a comittee
of five students and tom faculty
iembers which, as representatives
of the station licensee, ischargedwith

 

 

 

supervision of the station's operation.
The board meets periodically with the
station manager and may set
program policy, however, in so doing
the boa rd’s charter mandates a policy
of "freest possible expression."

The station’s operating budget for
the fiscal year ending June 30th is
$42,580....which isn’t a lot of money
relative to budgets for other radio
stations across the country. Yet with

that'bud'get'ttie station is able to do
the floltowing:

1. Stay on the air 24 hoursa day with
local, studio originated as opposed to
automated or network fed
programing.

2. Broadcast 30 minutes of locally
gathered news each weekday.
' 3. Air from 4 to 6 hours of public
affairs material, during prime time,
each week ..... half of it locally
produced, and half supplied by other
sources.

4. Broadcast dramatic, literary,
and musical performances by local
artists.

5. Broadcast classical per-
formances tom the University Arts
center.

6. Broadcast over 100 hours per
week of "free form” (i.e. non-
formatted) progressive music, in
mixtures which span the musical
spectrum from hour to hour.

7. Broadcast 43 hours each week of
music blocked in specific categories,
and geared toward specific minority
audiences ad follows:

Sundays: lo:AM-s:30 PM Classical;

5:30.8:PM Native American; 8-9: PM
Music by Women 9: PM-leM Jazz

an'days; 9: PM-leM Latin
Music

Tuesdays: 9:PM~l:AM Folk and
Bluegrass

Wednesdays: 9:PM-l:AM Blues

Thursdays: 9: PM-t:AM Jazz
Fridays: 9. : PM-leM Country Rock

Saturdays: 5-92PM Oldies (1950-
l963) 9-leM Soul

UK

(These music categories are geared
in potpurri form during regular
blocks of programing, but because of
the special character of each, we feel
that isolated blocks of time should be
set aside for exploration of each form
individually).

Running a station with the type of
structure described here is no easy
task. lttakesa lot of work onthe part
of all involved. But the results are
quite rewarding: Students, as par-
ticipants in the mass media process,
are given a chance to develop skits
in an environment whose degree of
freedom is unmatched in the com.
mercial broadcast arena. At the
same time the community is given
access to entertainment, information,
and expressive forms unavailable
elsewhere on th radio dial.

in Albuquerque the KUNM-FM
experimenthas been well received: A
recent random sampling of over 2,000
Albuquerque residents ranked
KUNM-FM 3rd in overall per-
formance behind two very strong
commercial stations. in a
metropolitan market having 22
competitive radio stations, we think
those figures speak well of what we're
doing.

There's no reason why the same

thing cannot be happening at the

University of Kentucky.

Paul Mansfield is a former Lexington
resident who is currently Station
Manager at KUNM-FM, University of

UK lends campus
to 6,700 visitors

during summer

By CAROL warour
Kernel Staff Writer

It’s a long way from Eyota,
Minn. to the UK campus, but
Steve Ryan thinks the trip is
worth his time and money.

Ryan, a 17-year-old high
school senior. is here for teh
Schod of Music’s Keyboard
Institute which ends
tomorrow. This is his second
summer at the Institute.

Tony Cason, who just
graduated from high
school in Berry. Ky., did
not have to travel quite as far
as Ryan, but his participation
in the Institute for three
summers has led to a
scholarship to study piano at
UKwhenhe enters as a fresh-
man in the fall.

Casm and Ryan are only
two of thousands of people
who will visit the campus this
summer for a variety of
clinics, workshops and
conferences

According to Garth
Bobrowski. assistant director
for summer conferences,
there will be approximately
6,700 sudi visitors to the
(rumpus this summer.

“Most of the participants
day in University housing,
but there are a few groups
who are here for only a day,”
he said.

“But all the clinics,
workshops, etc. are Spon-
sored by some group
associated with the
University and all the par-
ticipants pay their own way,"
he added

For Ryan, paying hrs own
way ran into quite a sum of

money. “I guess counting

airfare, it cost my folks about
$300 for me to attend the
Institute.“

Ryan came to the Institute
on the recommendation of his
piano teadrer back in Min-
nesota. “She knows one of the

teachers here and she said
the school was pretty good
and suggested I come here,"
he said.

Cason takes private piano
lessons in Lexinton and was
urged to attend the Institute
by his teacher also.

Both young men plan
careers as professional
musicians.

Wilson said she decided she
wanted to become a doctor
when she was a freshman
in high school. Her desire to
help people and the medical
programs on televieion got
her interested in medicine.

“I've really got my heart
set on being a doctor—I don‘t
like to see people suffer,“
Wilson said. ‘But I still like
writing: journalism is my
second love."
