Wacky flaVOrs make Baskin-Robbins a treat

By KIM YELTON
Kernel Staff Writer

“Here Comes the Fudge," “Hold
that Lime” and “Strawberry
Cheesecake” may sound like funny
names for ice cream, but they're big
business for Baskin and Robbins
(BR), the national ice cream
company founded by Burt Baskin
and Irvine Robbins.

The flaws and variety keep
people coming, even in cold
weather, according to Charles
Ada ms, owner of the BR store on the
corner of Rose and Euclid.
“Business is good most of the year,”
Adans said. Business is at its best
just before school is out at the end of
a semester and right when it begins.
‘The only period when we don’t
have good business is when the
University is closed at Christmas.

“Cold weather does hurt us
some," he said, but it really does not
seem to dampen the desire for a cold

Crash
kills four

From AP and staff dispatches

Four persons were killed and two
were injured last night when their
private plane crashed while at-
tempting to land at Bluegrass Field
in Lexington.

The plane. which originated from
Tallahassee, Fla. on an instrument
flight plan, crashed at the end of a
runway during landing at about 5:40
pm.

The victims were identified as Mr.
and Mrs. Dominic Lapera and their
daughters, Joyce and Beth. Injured
was another daughter, seven-year.
old Nancy, and a son, Anthony, 17.
The injured were both listed as
critical at St. Joseph‘s Hospital last
night.

A fire broke out at the moment of
impact butwas quickly extinguished
by airport firemen. Lexington police
said the crash appeared “weather
related." At the time of the crash,
the National Weather Service
reported freezing drizzle, sleet and
fog in the Lexington area.

An airport spokesman said the
plane, a twin-engine Apache,
probably approached the runway for
landing, came up short, slammed
into the embankment and bounced
up onto the field surrounding the
runway.

Pumpkin Pie ice cream. Perhaps it
is the anticipation of trying a new
flavor each month that keeps people
coming back.

“Flava‘s are really our thing,"
said Adams. "If it weren’t for our
flavors, we wouldn‘t be anything.
We are constantly having a flavor
change each month. We have 5-8
rotating per month. People look
forward to them."

BR has over 500 to choose from,
according to Adams. Fourteen are
sold year round while the other
flavors change ever two months.
“People hate to see them leave, but
they have to go,” he said.

The only exception is Praelines
and Cream. The company removed
it from circulation after its first two
months. “The demand was so great,
we bmught it back for three mon-
ths,“ Adams said. It was taken off
the market and brought back
several times because of its
popularity until it finally “came
back as a regular flavor," Adams

Folger surveys the

explained “It is the most popular
flavor to come along since I have
been in the business-43 years. It
even beats out chocolate chip, which
was the best selling, other than
vanilla.” ,

Vanilla is the biggest seller. The
reason, Adams said, is that “it is
your basic ice cream for sundaes.
We do sell a lot of plain vanilla,
though."

Part of the reason for the good
taste of the ice cream can be at—
tributed to the pesonal attention it
gets from Robbins. He and several
other BR executives personally test
the flavors monthly, according to an
article that appeared in People
magazine this year.

Robbins grew up in the ice cream
business. His father, who emigrated
from Russia, opened a family dairy
store in Tacoma, Wash. He liked the
ice cream aSpect “because when
nrost peqile got to the ice cream,
they smiled."

The other half of the partnership,

81‘

according to Adams, was founded
when Burt Baskin served in the
South Seas during World War II. He
tried to “lift the morale of the other
soldiers by making ice cream with
an old freezer and fresh fruits
available in the South Pacific."
Robbins started the first ice
cream store in Glendale, Cal. in 1945
and called it “Snowbird," Adams
said. Within a year, he opened
another one and asked Baskin to run
it. "The stores were sharp—for
I945," Robbins said in People. “I did
everything I remembered, from
Tacoma—gay signs, spic and span,
onearmcd chairs, flavor-tasting
spoons. Even then, I knew I wanted
to have more than one store, but to
say I thought the company would be
this big and stretch across the
country~oh no. My ambitions were
$75 a week and I’d have it made."
Robbins has continued his
dedication to his business
throughoutits 31 years. It’s not just a
passing fancy. When he awakens at 7

SCB Needs Free U teachers

By MARIE MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer

Free University, a program that
offers noncredit classes that aren’t
listed in regular course schedules, is
being revived this spring by the
Student Center Board (SCB) but it
needs volunteers to teach.

Only six of the available 25
openings have been filled, said
Chairwoman Pat Meeker. Approved
courses so far include horticulture,
camping and horse race han-
dicapping. Meeker said there is a
need for teachers in dance, exercise,
history, bartending, gardening or
whatever skill someone has to offer
that might be of interest to others.
Free U personnel also are interested
in getting feedback as to why other
classes failed before.

Anyone who feels qualified to
teach in a certain area can fill out a
course description, which will be
reviewed by a committee, Meeker
said. Applications can be obtained in
the SCB office in the Student Center.

Although classes are taught on a
voluntary basis, there is a chance to
get some credit through Ex-

periential Education. Dr. Robert
Sexton, executive director, said his
office coordinates credit through the
students own department. Credit
approval depends on such factors as
the relationship of what the student
is lea rning to his academic program
and how much supervision is
available.

Most classes will be taught in the
evening to accommodate students’
schedules and to reserve rooms,
Meeker said. If there are better
facilitits elsewhere, then classes
might be held off campus or
whereever is convenient for those
enrolled. Cost of supplies will be the
only expense to the student.

Free U is being funded through the
$450 SCB experimental fund which is
set up every year to develop new
programs or complement existing
projects, said John Herbst, SCB
program director. Often the money
is spent in advertising, printing
posters and suppies, he said.

Because the students control their
own classes, Meeker said “It‘s up to
the them to build the program. It‘s
their loss if it doesn't work."

Unhappiness IS the only sure result of

legislation in the three-week special session.

But a setting for timeconsuming debate has
evolved over implementation of the article.
('arroll is warning legislators that full funding of
the amendment will result in increased taxes or
cuts in existing programs. Both the governor and
the legislators are against increasing taxes,
which never sits well with constituents.

t'arroll is asking the General Assembly to limit
the number of district judges to 90, rather than
the 120 proposed in the amendment. The
governor says if that isn‘t enough, more can be
added later, perhaps as late as 1980.

(‘an oll's tstablishment of the judicial article
as top priority was correct. But the governor is
wrong to threaten the General Assembly with
cuts in state education if it follows the directive
or the voters and fully implements the amend-
Irzenl.

The new court system will cost the state about
$50 million. But much of the money is already in
the budget and the rest is recoverable through
titres. 'l‘he sweeping changes involved in the
judicial article have delayed implementation
until 1978.

Voters passed the reform amendment and are
justified in expecting it to be implemented and
fully funded as soon as possible. By proposing
partial funding. which could result in delayed
implementation, Carroll isn‘t trying to meet that
expectation.

What makes concerts worth it?
Trower and his three-man band

By J. c. NORTON

If you’re old enough to remember
“Satisfaction" as something other
than a blastfrom the past, and if you
still go to rock concerts, a few
questions which inevitably occur to
you: Why doI put up with this? Why

dosed adolescents? Why do I put up
with boring, talentless “Special

social class has all but vanished. The
black people aren’t the only ones in
America who no longer know their
place. There is no magic, no awe in
being rich. The only difference
between a rich man and a poor man
in America is money. Thus it is
perfectly reasonable for the sons
and daughters of computer opera-
tors and auto workers to aspire to
grander things.

The trouble is that there aren’t
enough grand things to go around.
Power and money in America is still
distributed in a highly pyramidal
pattern. For years the ruling classes
have told the aspiring egalitarian
masses, shut up. behave, go to
school and we‘ll give you the
goodies.

Everybody is supposed to have a
satisfying job; everybody is sup-
posed to have a non~dead-end car-
eer. How can that work? It can‘t,
which is why the academics rushed
in with the idea of “the meritocra—
cy.“ The academically deserving,
the competent as determined by
objective examination would get the
goodies which would no longer be
distributed on the basis of such
things as social class, inheritance or
sex appeal.

The meritocracy was a mirage.
Too many people qualified. which is
why we‘re hearing the clucking
about raising standards.

The other side of the coin is that
there are less and less people to do
the dirty work. In times past we‘ve
tried to recruit people by threaten-
ing them with starvation or appear-
ing to up the status of the jobs.

Egalitarianism is the strongest
single, operating political value in
the United States. The love of liberty
is rare; the love of equality is
universal. Students imbued with
egalitarian values won‘t give up
their masters degrees to accept
careers sweeping the streets. and.
unless a way is found to get a closer
match between epectation and real-
ity. we are going to have some
unusual and different troubles for
ourselves.

for 45 minutes, then take the
money and run‘.’ Why?

The reason is that, in spite of all
the garbage shows and lousy
audiences, every now and again you
see and hear someone who is so
incredibly good, and who works so
hard, that you’d hate like hell to
have missed him.

Of course, you can’t be sure when
that’s going to happen, so you waste
a lot of time and money on the
losers. For the people who were in
Larisville on Nov. 24, the gamble
paid off. In spades.

First a brief note on the opening
act, Boston. Their album is one of
the most exciting, superbly
produced records of the year, and
their advance publicity alleges that

same technical problems have beset
them elsewhere. ,

The intricate double leads that
highlight the record are a muddled
loss in concert. It's ironic that J.
Geils, the other great band from
Boston, has never achieved on
record the incredible dynamism
they generate live. This new act
from New England seems to face the
opposite dilemma. On balance,
Boston’s set was good because the
material is good, but disappointing
technically. Then came the artist.

Robin Trower has one of the finest
examples of the Cream-Hendrix
style three-man rock band currently
working. For this tour, he’s ex-
panded the group to four, adding a
bass player so that vocalistbassist
James Dewar concentrates on
singing andadds some tympani here
and there. The sound, however, is
still that of the classic three~man
hand.

There are no keyboards, no
synthesizers, no mellotrones.
Drummer Bill Lordon, who replaced
Reg Isidore after the second album,
plays a drum set—no gongs, no
temple bells, no kettle drunrs. All
this yields a very spare sound, which
leaves most of the music to the lead
guitar, and which runs the risk of
getting flat and boring. After all,
what can you do with one guitar?

Plenty. If one were to try to define
the single major contribution of 60‘s
rock to music more generally, I
think the development of electric
guitar as a versatile solo instrument
would have to be it. The sounds
made by Ginger Baker or Charlie
Watts aren’t all that different from
the sounds made by Gene Krupa.
But the things that Jimi Hendrix
could make a guitar do. those were
noises the earth hadn‘t'heard before.

There‘s a good deal of technology
in this, tricks with feedback and, of
course, incredible volume. The
combination of electronics, huge
halls, good picking, and what might
be called, for want of a less
pretentious term. rock con-
sciousnem, has created a new art
fomr.

For my money. rock guitar
reaches its aesthetic zenith
in the threeman band. i remember
seeing Jimi Hendrix many years
ago, and thinking. "Where are the

other guys? This just cannot all be
coming out of one man‘s guitar.
That‘s not possible." But it is
possible, and Robin Trower proved
it again Wednesday night.

His set lasted for an hour and a
half and shifted smoothly from
driving tunes like “Caledonia” to
haunting. devastingly beautiful slow
songs, the best of which was
“Daydream" from the first album.

Trower is great to hear and he’s
also great to watch. His face opens
in a huge smile after an especially
nice lick, and he bops over to the
bass player. They have a good time
for awhile. then he’s off, alone at the
side of the stage, to take your head
far away as notes and runs dash
around the hall.

“ ' The person next to you leans over

t“T"ttird says. "mats n‘dt WSW-1" Y0“

wsay,~‘~l- know,» 1 know,” tbut'here’s
this funny looking little kid who
looks to be about 15 years old,
showing you that it is possible.
Trower has gotten odd treatment
from rock critics. His first album
was well received, but the most
recent one got a dump from the
Rolling Stone. The Kernel liked it
though. Righton, Kernel. One of the
most curious “criticisms" of
Trower I‘ve heard is thathe sounds
like Jimi Hendrix. Another is that
he's monotonous.

His records all sound alike, that is
very true. fortunately, and taken
together, the four studio albums
represent one of the most im-
pressive anthologies of rock guitar
to come down the pike.

One must grant Trower his
medium. He's not breaking totally
new ground. Instead, he‘s
developing a specific art form within
certain stylistic limits. To criticize
him for doing that makes about as
much sense as to criticize' Van
(filibum because he doesn't ‘play
ragtime._ Everybody doesn't need to
do everything.

So rock concerts are a mess. No
doubt about it. They’re expensive,
and lousy much of the time. Still,
every now and then, somebody like
Robin Trower comes in town to
make sounds that just cannot be
heard anywhere else. I don’t care
how nrany watts your Sansui puts
out. a how many Advents you’ve
got in tandem, the sound of Robin
Trower live cannot be reproduced
in your living room. unless you live
in Mammoth Cave and own four sets
of Klipshoms.

lguem one just has to put up with
the contemporary realities of rock.
The Woodstock Generation seems to
have donned leisure suits and moved

their act to Greenstreet's,.where '

sophisticated people meet. (it says
so on the match books.) The
artistry, however, is still happening
at the Louisville Gardens.

Instead of complaining about the
youthful audiences, one really
should be thanking them. You can't
have a rock show if nobody comes.
and the mgnicenti these days are
staying away in droves.

Israel warns Syrian troops again

(APl—Israel warned Syria
again yesterday that
movement of Syrian troops
into southern Lebanon would
risk Israeli military action.
The Israelissaid they favored
the idea of an “independent
Lebanese force” to halt
fighting between Lebanese
Christians and Moslems in
the area.

In Jerusalem, Israeli of-
ficials issued a communique
saying that “any Syrian in-
cursion south of their present
deploymentwill only increase
tension and create fresh
hazards."

The Syrians, who have
halted thecivil war in the rest
of Lebanm, want to move into
thearea just above the Israeli

border to complete their
occupaation of the country.
They are presently poised
along the Litani River, which
runs roughly 15 miles north of
the border and is generally
considered to be the “red
line" beyond which Israel has
said it won't allow Syrian
troops.

Israel said it would view a

urges Carter

to form Council of Urban Advisers

DENVER (AP)—The
nation’s largest group of city
officials is calling for Jimmy
Carter to create a Council of
Urban Advisers and is
proposing a multibillion-
dollar program it said is
needed to boost sagging city
fortunes.

The National League of
Cities on yesterday called for
$10 billion in new economic
stimuli, including $3.5 billion
in public works money. The

league urged Congress and
President—elect Carter to
approve the public works
funding “as soon as they
assemble in Washington in
January.” The rest of the
economic stimuli was not
specified.

The urban council. which
could be modeled after the
President’s Council of
Economic Advisers, would
advise Carter on matters of
housing, environment,

Jefferson school officials

discuss impending strike

LOUISVILLE (AP)—
Faced with the threat of a
teachers strike tomorrow, the
Jefferson County Board of
education met behind closed
doors for over three hours
vesterda y to discuss strategy.

Segregated
organizations
to merge

‘ BATON ROUGE, La.
(APi—The last two
segregated teacher
organizations in the country,
one mostly white and the
other mostly black, are ex-
pected to announce a merger
today.

Officers of the white
Louisiana Teachers
Association and the black
Louisiana Education
Association scheduled a news
conference in Baton Rouge to
disclose the results of secret
votes taken at separate state
conventions last week.

Meanwhile, negotiators for
the school board and the
Jefferson County Teachers
Association (JCTA) met in
another room at school
system headquarters in an
effort to reach agreement on
a new contract.

And at the Highland
headquarters of the
American Legion, JCTA
picket captains were briefed
on tentative strike strategy.
The captains, in turn, will
brief rank and file teachers
today.

After a negotiating session
ended Saturday, June Lee,
JCI‘A president, said she was
“not too encouraged at this
point." She descrribed the
paceof negotiations as “slow,
slow."

Salary is one of the key
issues in the dispute.

The JCI‘A, according to
Lee, is asking for starting
salaries of $10,000 a year for
teachers with bachelors
degrees. They currently earn
$8,330.

tra ns portalion and urban
economics.

“Without a place for
coa‘dination and synthesis,
urban programs too often are
incomistent or even con-
tradictory,” said a league
statement. The league also
called for urban impact
statements which would
researchthe effects of federal
policies on the cities.

The league also declined to
endorse a cut in taxes.

About 3,000 delegates
gathered here for the league‘s
annual Congress of Cities.
Carter decided not to visit the
congress, but he was to give
a speech by telephone hookup
last night to the National
Black Caucus of Local
Elected Officials.

Mayor Hans Tanzler of
Jacksonville, Fla, outgoing
league president, said state
and local governments ap
plied for money to fund
programs worth $15 billion
after Congress approved $2.1
billion for public works jobs
last summer.

He said the disparity
demonstrates the need for
funding such public works
projects as well as the boost
such spending would provide
the national economy.

League Vice President
Thomas Moody, mayor of
Columbus, Ohio, said the
organization would not en-
dorse a tax cut, partly
because there are deep
divisions on the question
among city league officials
and partly because league
officers don’t want to wage a
fight on something many
believe is inevitable.

Government sources said
Israel has rejected a proposal
that some Syrian soldiers be
permitted to enter the cities
of Tyre and Nabatiye, leftist
strongholds only about 10
miles from the border.
