UK police
will focus
on mopeds

Moped and motorcycle operators.
'be warned. There are people other
than robbers eyeing your wheels.

“We‘ve been receiving numerous
complaints about motorcycles and
mopeds on campus riding on
sidewalks and lawns." said Paul
Harrison. UK police'chief. “We‘re
going to start focusing a lot on these
problems and issuing a lot of
citations.“

A University regulation prohibits
motorized vehicles from operating on
campus sidewalks and grounds.

Turning off the motor of mopeds
does not tranform them into non-
motorized vehicles. according to Tom
Padgett. director of public safety.
They will continue to be treated as
motorcycles. he said.

Whether the rule is applicable to
mopeds has not been legally tested but
Padgett said. “.lust because there‘s
some uncertainty. we shouldn‘t admit
defeat at the outset.“

“It's going to be an issue that will
have to be resolved on down the line."
he said.

According to the Kentucky State
Police legal counsel. mopeds are
classified as motor vehicles and are
subject to regulations applicable to
other motor vehicles. with the
following exceptions:

They do not have to be registered.
., They do not have to be insured.
,._ They do not have to be equipped
with brake lights. However. a manual

or mechanical signal must be given.
«7 Drivers do not have to wear helmets
or eye protection devices. '
Drivers are not subject to the
financial responsibility law. which
requires some form of insurance
protecting the other party.

protestors' trial in third day

By JEANNE WEHNES
Associate Editor

and STEVE MASSEY
Stall Writer

Following testimony from a number
of prosecution witnesses that the II
protestors on trial did disrupt CIA
Director Adm. Stansfield Turner’s
speech at U K last April. the protestors‘
attorney moved for acquittal of the
defendants yesterday.

After five hours of lengthy and
often tedious questioning. the trial
was adjourned with the defense still to
present ll witnesses.

Defense attorney Barbara
Sutherland moved for direct acquittal
of all N defendants after the
prosecution played a tape recording of
Turner‘s speech on April I2 in the
Student Center Ballroom. After
recessing the jury. Fayette County
Circuit Court Judge Paul Gudgel
overruled the motion.

Sutherland said the prosecution had
failed to prove beyond a doubt that
none of the II disrupted Turner’s
speech. She then said no proof of
intent to disrupt the speech. which she
said is an element of the crime. was
established.

“Not one shred of evidence that the
five (arrested prior to Turner

beginning his speech) delayed or
interupted the speech“ had been
presented by the prosecution. she said.

She also said there was no proofthat
“noisy interludes" of the six other
defendants had disrupted the speech.
The six were arrested while ’I urner was
making his presentation.

In overruling the motion to acquit
the II. Gudgel cited a Kentucky
statute that states a person “will not
obstruct a public meeting by yelling.
use of signs. gestures..." He said the
signs held by the protesters before and
during Turner‘s speech and
admitted as evidence during the
prosecution had “derogatory
connotations" and referred to Turner
and Davis “in a Fascist way."

Thejury must establish the intent of
the defendants. Gudgel said. “The
court feels there is ample evidence that
the six disrupted the meeting.“ Gudgel
added.

During defense testimony of Saeed
Farzanyar. one of the Iranian students
arrested. Sutherland asked the witness
to explain why the Iranians used
aliases when arrested. Don Todd.
prosecution attorney. objected. noting
that such testimony had not been
allowed during Tuesday‘s trial.

meet requirements

for handicapped access

By GIL LAWSON
Staff Writer

The Board of Trustees has taken the
first major step in complying with the
federal Vocational Rehabilitation Act
of I973 for handicapped students with
the approval of a 5450.000 building
renovation project in its Sept. I9
meeting. .

The act requires the University to
make all of its programs available to
handicapped students.

The project. to be funded from the

University's renovation budget. will be
submitted to the Council on Higher
Education for approval next month.
_ The project involves five buildings
on campus: Kastle Hall. Erikson Hall.
the Journalism Building. Research
Facility One and the Funkhouser
Building.

The renovation will include the
installation of elevators. modification
of lavatories and installation of
entrance ramps.

Jacob Karnes. director of
handicapped services. said he was
pleased with the Board of Trustees'
action.

“I was very pleased. particularly
with Kastle Hall.“ he said. Kastle Hall
is currently inaccessable to
handicapped students. Karnes said
many handicapped students enroll in
psychology classes in the building.

Karnes said these classes in the past
were moved to other buildings to

“There never has been a more open administration than

absolutely no fear of any involvement in illegal activities.

Hunt. who resigned in July. reportedly is being

The new fire erupted Tuesday night but was confined to

Bill Parker. deputy project manager. said the f ire rcigmted
because of hot spots in the pit of oil around the well.

Troubleshooters on Tuesday plugged the shaft through

The legislation. which the White House has depicted as

supporters of the measure appear to have the upper hand.

House leaders hope to combine the gas-pricing bill with

But because ofthe renovation project.
Karnes said. there will be a “positive
impact on studies with the ability to be
more mobile and easier to schedule
classes.“

Victor Gaines. director of
Affirmative Action. said UK went
through a “dry period" from
December to June. when there were no
plans to comply with the
Rehabiliation Act. The University
established the Transiton Plan. which
the renovation plan is part of. last
December.

“Nothing was done because there
was no money." Gaines said. He added
that the state government finally made
efforts to fund these projects.

Gaines said the cost of changes
included in the Transition Plan will
eventually total $I.5 million. with
more changes planned for the
Lexington campus and the community
colleges.

Jack Blanton. business affairs vice
president. called the Board of Trustess‘
request to the CHE “the biggest
allocation we‘ve requested."

He said the action would be a “small
part of what needs to be done." He
added that UK has requested SI
million in state funding for renovation
projects for handicapped students.

UK is required to be in compliance
with the Rehabilitation Act by June
I980.

Warren Denny. assistant to the
director of design and construction.
said he believes UK will be able to meet
the deadline.

“We‘re probably on schedule." he
said. “Many other projects are
upcoming. We can group them
together to make it work together. I
think we'll make it."

Karnes. however. said there are
many more things to be done in order
to comply with the law. “We're going
to have to hurry up if we plan to be
done by I980."

it‘s as difficult as some people claim.

Speaking in the anecdotal tone he
used throughout his lecture. Hagan
said he doesn‘t often get calls “from
people that want a ticket so they can
see a ballgame. I get calls from people
who want tickets for somebody else.“
He added. “I don‘t know anybody who
doesn't haveaticket...it‘s strange. It‘sa
rare instance for me to provide a ticket
for somebody who wants to see the
game. I‘d like to see that individual
sometime.“

The athletic director expressed
concern about some of the letters the
local papers have printed about him.
One woman wrote a letter calling for
an investigation of the UK ticket
office. A second letter in effect said
that Hagan should be hanged in public
for alleged responsibility of the ticket
shortage for this year‘s UK-Tennessee
football game. “I don‘t know.“ Hagan
said. “Some people somehow have the

national to testify yesterday. Amad
Dayari-Nejad. both said they wished
to “educate" Americans to alleged
CIA activities in Iran. but that there
was no premeditated‘plan to disrupt or
delay Turner's speech. Both were
arrested before Turner began his talk.

In Tuesday‘stestimony. Dr. Vincent
Davis. director of the Patterson
School of Diplomacy. which
sponsored Turner‘s visit. said the
program was delayed 35-40 minutes.
Because of the delay. the program had
to be cut by 45 minutes in order to
meet Turner‘s schedule.

All five defendants who testified
yesterday said Dean of Students Joe
Burch initially told them they were not
allowed to hold up the signs. then said
the signs could be displayed in the rear
of the ballroom.

George Potrati. a I‘K English
professor arrested during the protest.
testified that Burch told him he would
be arrested for disrupting the meeting.
Potratl was arrested prior to the
beginning of the program.

Also testifying yesterday were
defendants Jean Donahue and John
Green.

Gudgel. in a move to “expedite"the
trial. said he would convene court this
morning at the' courthouse.

we'll give him some.

“I don‘t know which people got
which tickets“ Hagan said of the
Tennessee game. adding that he only
knew that different groups. such as
season ticket holders. got tickets.

Hagan also said he sees little hope
that the University alone can raise the
money for expansion of Common-
wealth Stadium. The stadium (which
seats 57.500) and the general area
around it cost approximately SIS
million. UK still has 24 years of
5600.000 annual payments left. Hagan
said. The stadium was designed to
enclose as a bowl. which would bring
seating up to 78.000. Enclosing the
stadium would cost nearly$|0 million.
Hagan said.

School board elections

Collective bargaining not only issue

There is a growing danger that the impending
election for two seats on the Fayette County Board
of Education will be perceived as a referendum on
collective bargaining. g

The dread cries of “Unionization” still linger in
the public mind from the battles that have been
waged over collective bargaining. Voters read the
headlines of cities where teacher strikes have closed
the schools. and they wonder when it will happen
here.

But it would be unfortunate if the electorate made
the issue of collective bargaining a major part of its
decision about which candidates to support.
because there are many other urgent issues to
consider.

The status of collective bargaining — contract
negotiations between the school board and a group
representing teachers ~ is now mostly in the hands
of the courts. . .

Last year. the Board of Education and the Fayette
County Education Association. an 800-member
teachers organization. collectively bargained for a
contract. But the process was illegal. ruled Fayette
Circuit Court Judge N. Mitchell Meade, because the
board bargained only with the FCEA.

That ruling is being appealed by both the board
and the FCEA before the Kentucky Court of
Appeals. So little can be done in the area of
collective bargaining until the next ruling arrives ——
possibly as late as next spring.

But it’s not just the courts that have rendered
collective bargaining a dead issue. The level of
support among teachers for the process is so high
that it cannot be ignored. A return to the school
board‘s former head-in-thc-sand attitude (before
the last election changed its composition) would
lead to a disastrous breakdown between teachers
and administration.

The best course is one that‘s being pursued by the
board now. which offers hope for stable contractual
negotiations with teachers. Board Chairman James
Broadus. who faces two anti-collective bargaining

opponents in the 2nd District. has worked to
develop an “educational collective bargaining"
process. where professional negotiators are not
used. secret meetings are banned. and strikes are
prohibited.

Of the four candidates in the other district up for
election. only Dr. Raymond Wilkie. a UK
Education professor. seems to be open-minded on
collective bargaining. Wilkie is making an effort to
escape the polarizaiton on the issue. referring to it as
one of “representative negotiations.“

The “collective bargaining" label is a loaded one
means different things .to different people. he
argues. With the opposition split three ways in that
race. Wilkie‘s approach may be the safest course to
victory.

Candidates in both districts should be sounded
out for their positions on other issues. matters that
are more pressing than collective bargaining.

The proposal to reorganize the grades in the
public schools is one problem the new board
members will have to decide. For example. there is
much sentiment for developing the “middle school"
concept. Under the plan. the ninth grade will be
moved to the high school level. while junior highs
will include the sixth grade.

Another issue that school boards are constantly
faced with is that of improving relations between

[parents and administration. Suggestions have been

made to have better communication between the
board and parents. and to give some decision-
making authority to teacher-parent senates on local
levels. The public should know where candidates on
this matter.

Those problems. along with others like tight
budgets. competency testing and building new
schools. will be faced by the school board after all
the moot arguments about collective bargaining
have died down. Voters should require candidates
must present comprehensive plans on what action
they plan if elected. not just deliver rhetoric on a
stale issue.

understand why everyone is rubbing

strong light (at least 200 watts) on this
perplexing problem with its myriad of
implied implications and shoe styles.

These are indeed times that try
men's soles. Perhaps (and this is a
strong “perhaps.“almost as strong as a
“maybe“ but certainly not as vigorous
as a “could be“ but then not as self-

effacing as the perrenial “why not") we '

he insisted that we invest in that damn

I was about to tell him that all of my

to the hospital.

While everyone else was off at the

that. but this current breed isjust not
the same. You know the story; All of

It doesn‘t take more than a moment
to tire of that fraternity pap. No. the
personals I am speaking of were
prevalent a few years back. They were
rich in meaning and spirit. It is simply
a matter of pathos versus bathos.

in March of ‘75. the Kernel

provided space in the personal section .

at no charge. What a deal. You could
whip together an eight word (or less)
message to the world and it would run
one day for free. People recognized the
opportunity immediately and with
rare tour de force. UK responded with
some astounding creativity. About
three weeks after the new policy began.
the personals took up a third or more
of the space in the classifieds.

l have gone back through the files ~
because I know that you are too lazy to
do it -~ and extracted some of the
more interesting messages. I must be
honest and admit that most of the
personals back then were dull. but they
were easily offset by the interesting
ones. The three general categories i
noted were Libidinal. Serial and

into more than one area but who really

After the personals started to take

In occupied Sinai

Camp David accords
mean losses for some

By DANIEL GREBLER

Associated Press Writer

SHARM EL SHEIK.
Occupied Sinai -~ Yaacov Bar-
Levy came to the southern tip
of the Sinai Peninsula to get
away from it all, but the Camp
David accords mean he
probably will have to leave his
sun-baked utopia for the sake
of peace.

Bar-Levy. a 3I-year-old
mechanical engineer. is one of
many Israelis whose life on
occupied Arab land may be
disrupted because of Mideast
peace agreements signed by
Prime Minister Menachem
Begin and Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat at far off Camp
David. Md.

Bar-Levy didn't move to
Sharm El Sheik with any
political aims.

“I saw no way I could waste
my energy in the city. rushing
to the office. waiting for
stoplights. running after all the
exhibitionism of clothing.
furniture and other material
things." he said.

So in I976 he gave up hisjob
in Haifa and brought his wife,
Zavit. to the settlement of
Ophira where it‘s summer most

of the year and temperatures
can top ”0 degrees.

The Bar-Levys run a youth
hostel that serves thousands of
diving enthusiasts that come to
Sharm El Sheik for the
underwater wonderland off the
Red Sea coast.

“It was clear to us that we
couldn‘t stay here forever.“ he
said. “But it‘s one thing if we
reached the conclusion
ourselves and another if the
government comes and tells us
to leave. But of course it‘s a
positive thing . for peace
ohere‘s no question that we‘d
leave.

“For an Israeli no peace
means war. and war means
death. We‘ve had too much of
that already."

The Ophira settlement. with
a population of 300 families.
was started six years ago to
house military personnel. But
investors also wanted to
capitalize on the tourist
potential of the area. The town
is I45 miles south ofthe Israeli
port city of weilat and too far
away to receive Israeli
television broadcasts.
Newspapers arrive a day late
and water is piped in from 50

miles away.

“when you first come here
you think this is the end of the
world.“ said Bar-Levy. “But
after you‘re here awhile you see
how much fuller life can be.“

Moshav Neviot. about
halfway between Eilat and
Sharm El Sheik. is another
budding resort that attracts
thousands of Israeli and
European tourists seeking the
sun and the corallined beaches
along the Gulf of Aqaba.

"I think it wouldn‘t be a
tragedy if Sadat would agree to
allow a settlement like this to
remain." said Avishai Kaf‘kaf’i.
28. who runs the sailing club at
Neviot. “We don‘t harm
anyone. We‘Ve created a
beautiful place here that
contributes to all."

The farmers among the 40
Neviot families grow melons
and flowers for export. Only
four months ago the settlers
opened a guest house with |00
rooms. “It's a real shame that
just now that we‘re entering a
real development stage we'll
have to stop,“ said Kafkafi. “I
think we have to give the Arabs
their honor. but at the same
time I don't think we have to
fold up completely.“
