LCC seeks bids for parking lot

By CHARLES L. SMITH
Kernel Staff Writer

The Lex ington Center Corporation ( LCC )
is presently soliciting bids for construction
of its Phase 1 parking lot in the South Hill
area. Phase 1 is the area on both sides of
Brown and Spring Streets, including the
property facing Maxwell and High Streets
within that block.

Invitations to bid were issued June 14.
LCC Executive Director Tom Minter said
the LCC advertised in Lexington,
Louisville, Cincinnati, and Nashville, in
addition to placing advertisements in a
national trade publication for contractors.

The bids will be opened June 29 at the
LCC offices on West Short Street. Although
the LCC will have a maximum of 30 days
from that date in which to award the con-
tract, Minter said he hoped the process
would take “less than a week and com-
pleted no later than July 7.” He said the

The new birth control device,
Progestasert, a T—shaped IUD that
releases a controlled amount of natural
progesterone in the uterus, is being
ava'ded by most health facilities in
Lexington.

A recent survey of four local clinics
indicates that the device is not presently
prescribed by any of the clinics’ doctors.
The UK Medical Center and its Student
Health Service, however, plan to use it
by this fall.

Jan Ha rmon,directorof the Lexington
chapter of Planned Parenthoodf said the
chapter's Medical Advisory Board had
decided against Progestasert because it
has not been tested over a long period of
time.

Harmon said she did not see any
appreciable advantages Progestasert
would have over the pill or regular in-
trauterine devices. Progestasert would
be as expais've as the pill, would have to
be replaced annually, and like any other

contracter will have 90 days to finish the
parking lot.

Of the two houses still standing in the
Phase 1 area, both of which are
occupied, Minter said, “We expect them to
be gone prior to the start of construction.
All agencies are working to relocate the
individuals."

When asked if construction could begin if
the houses were still occupied, he replied,
“You can just say they won’t be there.”

Minter said the LCC is still on schedule
with Phase 1, but not Phase 2, which in-
cludes the land between Spring and Pat-
terson Streets. When both phases
are completed, the lot will
cover 14 acres and have spaces
for 1800 vehicles.

“We expect Phase 1 to be completed by
opening date (the week of October 10),”
Minter said, “but Phase 2 will be completed
later in the fall."

series on spouse-abuse.)

By CINDY CATTELL
Kernel Staff Writer

Sidney P. O’Nan, psychology and vocational
rehabilitation counselor in Lexington‘s Bureau
of Rehabilitation, said husband-beating is
probably as common as wife-beating. “Too
many people believe only the woman suffers, but
the man can sufferjust as much.

“I speculate that the reason it is seldom down
on record is because men don‘t want the rest of
the male population to know tat their wive 5
beat them.

“Over the years, in privileged conversations,
I’ve come into contact with too many instances
of the wife physically abusing the husband, to
believe that anything other than size difference
would prevent this from being a 50-
50 proposition."

According to Pat Elam, director of the Rape
Crisis Center of Lexington, “we have been trying
to geta statewide task force, primarily for rape
and also wife-beating.

“There is enormous reluctance on the part of
officials inside and outside of the local and state
governments to even begin to consider that it is
controversial. We’re pressing for investigations
for women,” she said.

“We don‘t consider the physical and mental
health and well-being of the women of this state a
controversial issue. It should be a human right.

Minter said he hoped Phase 2 will be
completed by December 1 to accommodate
the near-capacity crowds expected for UK
basketball games.

Presently, 12 properties in Phase 2 have
been purchaed, and the LCC has the con-
tracts on nine others, which will be pur-
chased soon. Minter said those properties
represent about 30 percent of the land in
Phase 2.

The other properties in Phase 2 wil be
purchased “as soon as possible,” he said.

Minter would not directly attribute the
delays in purchasing Phase 2 properties to
the court case now pending that would stop
land acquisition in the area.

“On the whole, most people we have
contacted have thought the prices (offered
by the LCC) were fair and have accepted
our offer,” he said. “Some that have held
out may have done so on the basis of the
lawsuit.”

 

new IUD;

uterine device, would carry the risk of
perforating the uterine wall.

Harmon also said that no IUD should
be recommended for women who have
not had children because these women
have a high rate of involuntary ex-
pulsion.

Rea Collins, a nurse in the obstetrics-
gynecology clinic in the Hunter Foun-
dation for Health Care, said the Hunter
clinic was very satisfied with its type of
IUD, the Copper-7. She said the clinic
plans to use it indefinitely.

According to a nurse in the Medical
Center, Progestasert has been ordered
for its obstetrics-gynecology clinic but
only a few requests and inquiries have
been made.

Dr. Arsvar Hussah and Dr. Takeru
Higuchi, who invented Progestasert for
the Alza Corporation, say there are no
foreseeable side effects from the device
because the progesterone from the
device bypasses the bloodstream

completely. Perforations in the uterine
wall would be the major side effect.

One of our major goals at the Crisis Center is to
have an emergency woman‘s center. A place for
women to go when they need help."

Executive Director of the Family counseling
Center, Hank Galbraith, said spouse-abuse is not
a large problem. He also said he had no formal
statistics on the subject. “A very small per-
centage of the people we see are physically
abused by their spouse," he said.

A University hospital administrative officer
had this to say on the subject: “University
hospitalfollows the national trend on incidents of
wifebeating cases. It is extremely difficult to
determine the exact number of cases since the
overwhelming number of women neither report
these cases or incidents to the police nor seek
medical care."

 

“Approximately one to two

cases of wife-beating are in the
emergency room each week’

 

A spokeswoman for the University hospital
emergency room estimates: “Approximately
one to two cases of wifebeating are in the
emergency room each week.”

Jean G. Moore, a senior tutor in charge of
training in the London National Society for teh
Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC),
describes the psychology of spouse-abusers in
the magazine “Child Welfare," (Vol. LICV, No.
8).

The personality makeup of an individual who
assaults his or her spouse is obviously un-
balanced. Moore elaborated: “In so unlimited a
study, it is difficult to comment on the
psychopathology of the marital partners. but we
felt that the parents tended to be extremely
inadequate individuals, with markedly low
morale.”

According to Moore’s article, the NSPCC for
England, Whales and Northern Ireland is
researching the effects of spouse-abuse on
children.

Children from homes with physically abusive
parents are saidto suffer the “yo-yo" syndrome,
because of the emotional instability they acquire
from the battling parents.

The parents will fight, and one may leave the
house taking a child with him or her, leaving the
home in temporary tranquility. The parent
eventually returns. however. turning the
homfront into another battleground. The ten-
sion, anxiety and pressure in these homes make
children emotional “yoyo’s” to survive.

“The words most used by the social workers to
describe the children were “jumpy” and
“anxious.” In 80 per cent of the cases, resear-
ch .‘I‘S felt that the children had been adversely
affected.”

If the problem of spouse-abuse is publicized
enough, perhaps in the future the fireworks in
Maple Shade, New Jersey will only be the
Jaycee‘s display, not a display of one man‘s
violence against his wife.

Papers sponsor workshop

The Kernel is sponsoring an Urban Journalism
Workshop for minorities in cooperation with the
L0uisville Courier-Journal and Times, the Newspaper
Fund and the UK School of Journalism.

For the next three weeks, 14 minority students from
Jefferson County high schools will receive extensive
training in all phases of newspaper production. They will
spend two weeks at UK and one week at the Louisville
CourierAJournai and Times.

As one of eight such workshops in the country. it is
designed to encourage talented minorities to pursue a
carrer in iournalism, a protessron that is suffering trom
a severe shortage of minority input.

The students mil produce their own fourpage

newspaper, which will appear as a supplement to next
week’s Kernel.

There seems to be some confusion over our new Check-
point feature, found on the Kernel’s front page. Check-
point is not advertising and is not connected in any way
with advertising.

Checkpoint was designed to give the students a quick
reference point for the best deals in town and serve as a
calendar of events.

in keeping with this philosophy, Kernel editors will fill
Checkpoint With information which we feel will be of
most interest to students.

Some of the information may be about such advertisers
as Stingle’s or Gold Star Chiiibut only if they are offering
special deals.

Sheep in wolf’s clothing?

Last week’s editorial stated that Ronald Reagan may
be somewhere to the right of John Birchers; but, ac-
cording to the National Observer, Reagan isn’t as con-
servative in actions as he is in words.

It seems that Reagan may be a sheep in wolves’
clothing. For all his conservatiee rhetoric Reagan did
some things while governor of California that are
traditionally labled as liberal faults.

Would a conservative who hates big government do
such things as:

—lnitiate the largest increase in state taxes in the
history of any state;

—|ncrease California’s budget from $4.6 billion to $10.2
billion in eight years;

“Increase funding for higher education by 100 per

by pgul monfiéld

A portion 0 the FM band was set
aside in the 1940's for use as a ”non-
commercial educational" broadcast
service. "Instructional” was a key
word in the F.C.C.’s thinking when
this spectral allocation was handed
down. The same ideology prevailed
when television channels were set
aside for non :r-mmc-mal service. A
cone volent federal agency, concerned
that commercial interests would
dominate all broadcasting endeavors,
reserved a piece of the action for the
more noble task of education. In
theory, the non commercial service
could provide instructional material
for all to consume ..... intrastate
networking c0uld link communities
and school systems thus maximizing
the reach of such material. The flaw
in the theory surfaced when

19816) in 1973 which

spring of rules requiring

an"Ascertainment of Community
Needs” filing by all non-commercial
licensees. Those rules are a check on
the noncommercial operation and
serve to keep the non-commercial
proprietors in touch with the com
munity. Ascertainment is a process
whereby broadcast management is
required to actively maintain a
dialogue with the community....to
identify community attitudes and
problems, and to address those fin-
dings through programing. The non-
commercial service has gone public,
and with that move has assumed a
new responsibility in serving the
”public interest, convenience, and
necessity”as required by the Com-
mmunications Act of 1934.

This shift is no doubt a rallying
point for media reformers who have

commercial broadcasting to address

Four years'after the Watergate
break-in skeletons are still coming

out of the closet. It seems the long
tenacles of government corruption

are never ending.And now the
accusors are the accused.

Apparently six of the seven
senators on the Senate’s Special
Watergate committee, which
condemned such practices,
received illegal corporate con-
tributions.

According to a report filed in
US. District Court by a Gulf
Corporation clean-up committee
headed by John J. McCloy, all
senators who were on the com-
mittee except Sam Ervin (D.-N.C.)
received illegal funds from Gulf.

A Gulf OI lobbyist, Claude C.
Wild Jr., told Watergate special
prosecuters about the alleged
illegal contributions, according to
the McCloy report, which he and
another Gulf vice president han-
dled. The report states that Wild
and his side-kick personally
handed Sen. Howard Baker (R-
Tenn.) $4,5000-S2,000 of which was

Wild has been charged with
felonious campaign contributions
and is expected to reveal futher
pay-offs in his upcoming trial. The
indictment under which Wild is
charged cites an illegal 1973 con-
tribution of $5,000 to Sen. Daniel
lnoye (D.-Hawaii).

Wild originally made headlines .
in November, 1973 when he told of
an illegal $100,000 contribution by
Gulf to former President Richrd
Nixon’s campaign. Ironically ,
Wild made this on nationall
television before the Watergate
committee-the members of which
are now accused of similar
illegalities.

New York Times columnist
William Satire, who first reported
the contents of the McCoy report,
was amazed by the senator’s
hypocrisy. More amazing,
however, is the report that Gulf
had dished out more thatn $4.5

Dear Editor;

The assissination of the
American ambassador to Lebanon
and the subsequent evacuation of
foreigners has brought the
situation there into a crucial phase.

While Lebanon has seen violent
conflict for some time, the syriah
invasion and recent evacuations
could have explosive international
repercussions. These com-
plications have attracted the at-
tention of the American public,
who finds developments
in Lebanon confusing.

Wash.), Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-

well as the Watergate senators.

It seems that Watergate was lust
a small part of the corruption in
government.

in addition to Wild’s revelations,
the Justice Department is now
investigating nine congressmen,
including Kentucky Rep. Tim Lee
Carter, for filling bogus travel
vouchers.

Congress appears headed for its
own Watergate as it comes under
closer scrutiny. Such scrutiny will
probably reveal something far
worse than mere hypocrisy—it will
illustrate how deeply embedded
corruption is in all our branches of
government.

be doing it? Well, it should definitely
be filling the local programing void by
supplementing what the commercial
services are providing. The non-
commercial servcice is freed from
the economic restraints of its com-
mercial counterparts, who, in their
competitive race for listeners, rating
points, ard increasing advertising
revenues, devote minimal amounts of
time to public affairs, in-depth news
reporting, and intelligent en-
tertainment material. in a market
glutted with ”TOP 40" hits (WVLK,
WLAP, WAKY etc) or middle of the
road, syrupy ”elevator music”
(WVLK-FM), the non-commercial
service can tap the available vast
range of serious musical endeavors,
thus providing the community with
interesting and varied programing.“
should pointout that ”serious musical
endeavors” is not a description
restricting itself toclassical music. It

fact, may derive from its ability to be does spand the mu5ical spectrum

innovative and to serve significant
minority tastes, needs and interests.
(From the F.C.C.'s Notice of Inquiry
on Ascertainment by Noncommercial
Broadcasters, Pike and Fisher RR at
Page 53:250)

The point here is that the non-
commercial service, and especially
radio, l'tas moved out of the in-
structional role and into the general
programing field. Accordingly, the
specialized qualifications of the in-
structional oriented programer have
been supplanted by the more esthetic
skills of entertainment programing.

So what should the non-commercial
service be doing? And how should it

from rock, to folk, to blues, to iazz,
both old and contemporary forms, to
soul, to bluegrass, to country, to
country rock, to ragtime et ai. So
when a station such as WBKY, which
is the only non-commercial service in
Fayette County, says it is performing
a ”community service” by
programing 40 percent classical
music (half of its music program), I
would say that the station is ignoring
other minority audiences in the
community whose musical tastes
differ markedly.

Fire!

A woman fights them

in Dayton, Kentucky

 

By CHARLES L. SMITH
Kernel Staff Writer

Why does a 24 year old
female become a volunteer
fireman...er firefighter?
According to Mary Niblack,
of Dayton Ky., one of 15,000
firefighters attending this
month’s 47th Annual Ken-
tucky Fire School here, it was
simply something she wanted
to do.

“I was playing cards at my
cousin‘s one night, and he got
a call to come fight a fire.
I thought it was neat to get a
call in the middle of the night
and have to quit everything
you were doing because
somebody needed you."

Niblack intend,..l to fulfill
her need to be needed by
bcc‘Oming an ambulance
driver rather than a
firefighter. In Dayton,
however, the members of the
fire department double as
ambulance drivers. so
Niblack became a firefighter
too. She is also a certified
emergency medical
technician (EMT).

She said her medical
training is also useful in her
regular job as driver of a bus
that transports senior citizens
for the Community Action
Commission of Northern
Kentucky.

Nibla ck spends four hours a
week at the fire station on
“squad duty.“ but like all
volunteers. she is on call 24
hours a day.

This was her first trip to the
Kentucky Fire School, which
sponsored by the Lexington
Fire Department and UK. he
school, which began in 1928, is
sponsored in conjunction with
the Kentucky State Fire
Chiefs and the Kentucky
Firemen‘s Assaciation.

While waiting to be lowered
out of a five-story training
tower on the Old Frankfort
Pike, Niblack nervously
recounted her first fire. “It

scared the hell out of me,“
she said. “ It was hot. wet and
steamy and I couldn‘t see a
thing. It was bad."

“But its all right now,“ she
said.

Niblack uses such ad-
jectives as “great." “fan
tastic" and “terrific“ to
describe working for a
volunteer fire department.
“Fighting tires is an im-
portantthing to do." she said.
“because your‘re saving
people and property.“

Niblack is one of four
women who joined the Dayton
force of 40 volunteers and six
full-time firemen about 10
months ago.

“The men already on the
force fought at first.“ she
said.“ but then they decided
to let us in.”

One male member of the
Dayton Fire Department,
when asked about having
“omen on the force. replied
simply. “No problem."
