Presidents disagree over budgets

By GINNY EDWARDS
Managing Editor
and
SUSAN JONES
Editorial Editor

A philosophically based arguement
erupted Thursday between the presidents
of the University of Louisville (U of L) and
UK over the Council on Public Higher
Education’s budget recommendations for
the 1976-78 biennium.

A debate centering around the amount of
funds the council recommended be allotted
per student at UK and U of L ended
unresolved. The council’s postponed con-
sideration of approval for state institu-
tions’ budgets until today.

Because of his disagreement with the
council‘s budget recommendation for U of
L, UK President Otis A Singletary moved
that he and U of L President James Miller
meet jointly with the council’s staff. “We
should be allowed to meet with the staff to

see if we can be made to understand what
the basis of their (the council’s) calcula-
tions were as they relate to these two
institutions."

Singletary said he has figures which
indicate that if the council’s recommenda-
tions are approved, U of L would receive
more state support per student than UK.

“With UK community colleges excluded,
it is still a larger state appropriation by
hundreds of dollars per pupil for U of L
than for any other state institution," he
said.

Singletary said he feared the council‘s
recommendations are aimed at making
U of L another UK.

“Historically, it has been assumed UK
always receives more support than any
other state institution,” Singletary said.
“The drift of moving to close the gap.
UKhas been held back more than any
institution in terms of per cent of state
appropriations. "

Miller said he would like to see UK build

up to the level of a Big-10 school, but not at
U of L’s expense.

“I would like to see the council take a
more advocacy role,” Miller said. “The
solution is to go to the General Assembly,
governor, and the state department of
finance and ask for more money. I
condemn an effort on the part of the
institution to attack the funding of
another."

Singletary said, “I have taken with
grace, over the years, the squeeze to UK
which was brought on by the inclusion of U
of L and Northern Kentucky State Univer-
sity in the system.”

But, he said, the council would have to
take the consequences of proportionally
reduced state support for UK. Singletary
sdaid this would cause a lowering of
educaional quality at UK.

The council’s recommended appropia-
tions, which are based on the number of
full-time students at the respective institu-
tions, increase the amount of state support

per U of L student $1,531 in the next two
years. During this same time perios, the
amount of state support per UK studnet
would increase $1,709.

Therefore, by 1978, the amount of state
support per UK and U of L student would
be pratically equal — $3,886 for UK and

$3,708 for U of L. .

Harralson
will not

sponsor GSC

 

By DAVID BROWN
Assistant Managing Editor

After “much thought" Student Govern-
ment (SG) President Jim Harralson has
declined to serve as Gay Students Coali-
tion (GSC) sponsor.

Harralson said earlier this week that he
would seriously consider a request. made
by GSC president Carey Junkin to be
sponsor for the GSC.

“I do not believe that my sponsorship of
the GSC would be in the best interest of the
organization itself. the total student body
of the University, or myself," Harralson
said in an open letter to Junkin.

“While I believe strongly in the right of
each individual to sexual behavior of his
own choice, I find homosexuality person—
ally distasteful." Harralson said in the
letter. “Such feelings would minimize my
ability to work with and my usefulness to
the GSC.“

she rarely loses.

In a letter responding to Harralson,
Junkin thanked Harralson for seriously
considering his request. “I can understand
your reluctance to publicly endorse such a
controversial group."

Harralson was flooded with complaints
when people learned he was considering
the GSC sonsorship, Junkin said.

“The divisiveness of the student body on
this issue is no less a factor in my
decision,“ Harralson said.

 

For complete commentaries by
Harralson and Junkin on SG and
GSC. see the editorial page.

 

Junkin said the decision was not a
surprise. He had asked Harralson to take
the position because he (Harralson) was a
“good example of a heterosexual who
understood the need for homosexual

recognition.“

GSC applied for University recognition
Wednesday, but listed Linda Welch,
former president of the Red River Defense
Fund as sponsor.

Organizations seeking University
recognition are required to have a faculty
advisor and a sponsor.

The Student Code of Rights and Respon—
sibilities states a sponsor is “a responsible
adult interested in the purposes of the
organization who shall give guidance and
counsel to the officers" of the
organization.

Junkin said the application was filed
before Harralson decided the sponsorship
issue to get the recognition process
started.

Wayne David, biological sciences pro-
fessor, is the GSC advisor, Junkin said.

ABC ruling costs Kernel
potentialyad revenue

By JACK KOENEMAN
Associate Editor

A ruling by the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board (ABC) has cost the Kernel
“conservatively $4,000 to $5,000 in poten-
tial advertising," according to John Ellis,
Kernel advertising manager.

Involved in the ruling was a request by
the Kernel to have portions of the
Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 16:10
reworded to allow ABC licensees to place
advertising bearing reference to distilled
spirits in student publications not owned
by educational institutions.

KRS 16:10 states: “No distillery, brew-
ery, wholesaler, retailer or other licensee
of the Department of Alchoholic Beverage
Control, whether a person, firm or
corporation, shall advertise alcoholic
beverages in any educational institution's
paper. magazine, book or pamphlet."

The request for rewording of the. statute
was presented by W. Thomas Bunch,
Kernel attorney, at a May 28 hearing.

At the hearing, Bunch contended that the
Kernel was independent of the University
and therefore would not fall under the
statute.

However, the board disagreed. citing the
lack of general paid circulation for the
Kernel.

The decision states: “It is the feeling of
the board that while there may be some
legal separation now existing between the
University of Kentucky and the Kentucky
Kernel, the paper is not a publication
which has general circulation of paying
subscribers, and therefore, it is not within
the group of papers designated by the
terms of KRS 244.130.”

KRS 244.130 designates the difference
between institutional publications and
those of general circulation.

The board‘s decision stated that the
request was turned down because, “alcoh-
olic beverages should not be advertised in
publications (Kernel) that are primarily

disseminated for the benefit of educational

institutions.“ _

Harralson declines
GSC sponsorship

 

By Jim Harralson

I have considered yours (Gay Stu
dents’ Coalition (GSC) President Carey
Junkin) and the GSC request that l
serve as your sponsor. After much
thought, I must respectfully decline.

My decision is based on a number of
factors. I do not believe that my
sponsorship of the GSC w0uld be in the
best interest of the organization itself,
the total student body of the University,
or myself.

First, it is important that all organi
zations, including the GSC, have a
sponsor that is deeply interesied in
activities Both my personal
sexual morality and time prevent the
involvement required of a competent
sponsor. i currently spend 3540 hours
per week in connection with my duties
as Student (30vernment (SG) Presi
dent. When this is coupled with my
academic load of )8 credit hours, l find
little time for anything else. And while I
believe strongly in the right of each
individual to sexual behavior of his own
choice, I find homosexuality personally
distasteful. Such feelings would mini-

 

their

mize my ability to work with and my
usefulness to the GSC.

The divisiveness of the student body
on this issue is no less a factor in my
decision. A greatnumber of students on
this campus w0uld be totally alienated
to Student Government by my sponsor
ship. Since it is my responsibility to
represent all students, I must refrain.

Self considerations also play a part in
my decision. i think it is important that
t be looked at as "Jim Harralson, 56
President”, as opposed to being
envisioned as "Jim Harralson, Queer
Lover” or Harralson, Fag
Hater”. I ran my campaign on the basis
of not endorsmg the particular side of
any issue, but rather on facilitating all
student groups on every side of any
issue. I will continue that policy.

Thus, considering my personal views
on homosexuality, the student body
opinion on the issue, and the SG policy
upon which I campaigned and have
followed to this point, I must refuse to
sponsor the GSC.

GSC could have
worked with SG

 

By Corey Junkin

| wish to thank you (Student Govern-
ment (56) President Jim Harralson)
for y0ur letter and the serious consider-
ation you have given to my request that
you act as sponsor of the Gay Students’
Coalition (GSC). As 56 president I feel
you have a duty to uphold the rights
and privileges of all students even if
certain minorities conflict with your
own personal mores and beliefs. How.
ever, since homosexuality has always
been a sensitive subject at UK, I can
understand your reluctance to publicly
endorse such a controversial gr0up.

One of my maior reasons for reques-
ting y0ur sponsorship was to enable you
to put into practice what you and SG
Vice President Glen Stith have consis-
tently said—namely that neither of you
were opposed to Gay Liberation per se.
By sponsorship of the GSC you could

 

have acted as mediator belWeen the
opponents and supporters of gay libera-
tion on campus. As you and I both know
the “queer ha ters” hatred of gay people
stems from an intolerance to a lifestyle
and preference that is archaic and is
usually expressed in the most childlike
and ludicrous fashion. By the example
of two persons of opposite beliefs and
opinions working together, both in SG
and with the GSC, we c0uld have helped
to educate some of the more blatant
homophobes to the reality that gay
liberation is here to stay and must be
dealtwith as a visible minority that will
nolonger tolerate token acceptance but

demands total equality. However, I

realize the pressures that could be
brought to bear against you and the
possible endangerment of your posi-
tion, therefore again I thank y0u.

 

Carey Junkin is president of the Gay
Students' Coalition.

Mistaken

Editor:

It seems to me that I’ve been under a
mistaken impression that the Kernel
had decided to mend its ways on the
reporting of current and non-current
events on and off campus. l was most
certainly wrong.

As a not too long ago member c.‘ Me
Student Center Board (SCB) I had to
deal with the Kernel refusing to print
stories on SCB activities either to
publicize that activity and invite
participation or to follow up the student
related event. My one particular in-
volvementwas the now defunct Awards
Night Program that recognized Out.
standing students from practically
every segment of the campus. The
Kernel’s reason behind the flat refusal
was the event was not ”news worthy.”
(That problem cleared up quite
possibly and fortunately because the
president is a journalism major.)

Presently it seems we are in for a
switch iust as ridiculous as the old
reasoning and where as the previ0us
action iust affected my effort on the
SCB, this policy is affecting
monetary situation. Now the Kernel is
waiting a week to report on certain
events. I refer to thedelayed reporting
of the infiltration of the Alcoholic

my

Beverage Control men into ”803
South.” (Kernel, ”ABC crackd0wn on
fake lD’s“)

What other possible reason could the
Kernel have in its timely reporting
other than to create an undesirable
atmosphere for the people that are 2)
and the discouragement of Our legal
customers? (Watching cops bust people
is not a very pleasant way to pass the
time.) The possibility of a repeat bust
was, l’m sure, fresh in the minds of our
Wednesday night clientele due to y0ur
delayed reporting.

I would appreciate it if the Kernel
w0uld try to improve on its delayed
reporting, especially when it only
seems to apply to special cases and
return to simple, prompt and timely
articles. This would be a nice addition
to what is otherwise turning out to be an
overall improved paper. With that, I
respectfully submit this letter two
weeks after y0ur article in keeping with
my luck with the Kernel.

Parking

Editor:

There was an article in one of the
Kernels last week on the parking
situation at UK.

l, as well as a few other handicapped
students have ”8” permits, which we
had to literally sweat blood for. First, it
takes a letter from your doctor, then a
letter from the Director of Hanicapped
Students and then $13.

Letters

 

When I come to school, there are so
many cars in the ”B” lot on Euclid
where I park (the one nearest to my
classes) that have no stickers at all,
that it is almost impossible to get a
space.

i have called the Campus Police more
than once, but still it reamins the same
and no action is taken. This letter is now
being written to call the attention of the
student body to this problem. It is my
sincere hope that handicapped students
will attend the meeting Oct. 20 at 4
p.m. in Alumni Gym and student
government will take some positive
steps to rectify this hardship.

Question

Editor:

lam writing to ask a simple question.
How come our millionedollar
classrooms do not have pencil shar
peners? Many are the times that l have
been in math class. or English, or
biology. or any other class and have
needed my pencil sharpened. Where do
I go? Nowhere! There are no pencil
Sharpeners! It seems to me that i am
not the only studentwho is PO’d by this
fact. it also occurs to me that with all
the money that this university spends
that a $5.00 pencil sharpener here and
there would not send UK

bankruptcy. Get the point!

The recent Spectrum article by

stated that Bushong is a graduate

investigate and correct this obvious
mistake. Surely the author never
completed high school or he would have
learned from high school psychology
lhathomosexuality is nota sickness. He
might also have learned that feeling
threatened or challenged by anyone
who is different is a symptom of ab»

Thestereo war

hits Lexington

Only a few years ago, ownership of a
good stereo system was a comparative
luxury enioyed only by the most
opulent. Today justabouteveryone has
a stereo system of varying size and age.
The stereo, far from being a luxury, has
become a necessity of modern life.

imagine lust sitting with some friends
in a room, withOut background sound,

able.

*‘peorce—

Fortunately for everyone—aged-
stereo owners and those stereo non.
Owners~the stereo war has now hit
Lexington, which is about two years
after it hit America’s largest cities.

The stereo war is a price war between
stereo retail outlets. Prospective cus-
tomers have the unique Opportunity to
make massive savings on massive
systems. The only problem is that other
people also recognize a good bargain
when they see one. The result is'an
escalation in stereOphonic warfare in
which neighbors try to out-decibel each
other by playing their stereos at full
volume.

Playback has fired the opening shots
in the stereo war with the publication of
an advertizing supplement which aC»
companied Thursday’s copy of this
newspaper. And there are some real
bargains.

For the discriminating listener, who

likes his noise loud but withou- distor
tion, who wants a bass deeper than the
voice of God but with0ut the back-
gr0und noise such as thunder, Playback
is offering the Ultra Deluxe Marantz
2325 System which is billed euphemisr
tically as an “ear opener” (ha, ha).

The system is claimed to be ”probab-
ly the most versatile unit on the
market!" It has a ”complete Dolby
Noise Reduction System!” (Iottsa voice
but no thunder) and a bevy of other
attributes. But best of all the Marantz
2325 system comes with “two room
shaking Cerwin-Vega l2” 2-way Speak»
er Systems!” Room shaking, hell they
will iar y0ur elderly neighbor’s
dentures loose and pry pictures from
the walls. YOU want a vodka martini
shaken not stirrede—Athe way James
Bond likes it-riust set it on the mantle,
select a Bachmann Turner Overdrive
album, turn up the volume, and watch
the drink perform. By the way, when
b0ught as a unit the system costs just
$1199, which is a saving of $128.95 to
you, the customer.

I had the misfortune to be caught in
the crossfire of stereophonic warfare in
Chicago. I lived in an apartment with
thin walls, floors and ceilings. There
were lots of neighbors and they all
b0ught stereos at rock-bottom prices.
There was music 24 hours a day and
frequently three and f0ur different
stereos would try unsuccessfully to
drown out each other. There was even
heavier artillery in the apartment at
the end of the c0urtyard where a good
friend but a very bad musician lived.
His instrument was the bass guitar
which was attached to an enormous
amplifier. He used to practice Jimi
Hendrix impr0visations for hours at a
time. He never got any better.

 

it?

16$

 

 

 

Finally I was forced to defend myself
by purchasing my own stereo system,
and using the back entrance.

The act of waging stereOphonic
warfare has several motivations. The
first is to assault the ears of your
neighbors of the world with one’s Own
music, or at least the music chosen to
be one’s own. Like automobiles, a
powerful stereo system imbues its
owner with added strength. The music
the stereo plays somehow attributes
talent to the stereo owner. Admiration
for artifacts automatically translates
into admiration for the artifact’s
owner.

Secondly, turning up the stereo drives
outall alien s0unds that denote spatial
deprivation. Noise is substituted for
noise, but stereo noise is orderly and it
belongs to you. The stereo system
drives Out intruders and by amplifying

 

 

s0und ali
where absoluted silence is virtually
nonexistent, banishing outside sounds ‘
by raising the volume inside is the next ‘
best thing.

Lastly, the stereo weapon is a cry of
individuality toa disinterested world. It
is a claim of ego identity, a cry that
points ears, eyes and attention to its
source and says in ways better than
words: “Please recognize the fact that I
exist.” Unfortunately the likelihood of
being heard above all the other stereos
is minimal. But as therapy, it’s
probably far easier to turn up the stereo
than to do the alternative, which is to
scream.

Gorge area needs preservation

 

By Tim Murphy

 

Something barely Short of total war has
been waged in the last year between the
U.S.Army Corps of Engineers and a
phalanx of furious farmers, students and
preservationists from all points of the
compass over the Red River Gorge.
Unfortunately some of the most vicious
action occurred in the GOrge itself as the
largest visitation season ever was experi»
enced; even as the fight over the dam
raged in Frankfort, Congress and the
c0urts. ”We’ve never been sure whether
all these peOple coming here are seekers of
what the Gorge has to offer or scavengers
coming to glean a last vista before the
inundation,” said Steve Mays, president of
Environmental Action Society. "But lam
sure that most of them come on their own
terms, that is leaving their trash behind.”

Like the aftermath of every battle, the
Gorge is strewn with debris and tangled
with the litter of the retreating fair
weather visitors. ”Cans in some places are
piled as high as burial mounds," says
Mays. Humanity, t10wever, has a knack
for responding to its own inhumanity and

this year is no exception as Red River‘s
farmers, the Sierra Club, the Boy Sc0uts
and such former allies of ”the enemy“ as
the US Forest Service and State Park
personnel are working in this year’s
annual cleanup of the Red River Gorge set
for all day Saturday, Nev. 8.

Red River Defense Fund (RRDF) has
organized a carpool service for UK
students who wish to join in the Autumn
armistice. The carpool will form between 8
and 9:30 am. Saturday at the Student
Center parking lot for all who need rides,
Lunch will be pr0vided. More information
can be obtained by calling 26670330.

Rep. Harrison cleared
by Ethics Committee

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Ethics Committee today
dismisseda complaint against Rep. Michael Harrington lD-Mass. i
alleging that he violated House rules by revealing secret testimony
of Intelligence Agency Director William Colby.

The committee voted 7 to 3 on dismissal after Chairman John J.
Flynt (D-Ga.) told the other members it had been established that
the occasion on which Colby testified was not a legal executive
session of the House Armed Forces Intelligence subcommittee.

The complaint against Harrington had been filed by Rep. Robin
L. Beard (R-Tenn. l. The testimony involved CIA activities in Chile
during the presidency of Marxist Salvador Allende.

Harrington said at the time he felt it was his duty to disclose to
other members what he described as testimony suggesting illegal
CIA activity against Allende.

Harrington signed a pledge not to disclose the contents of a
transcript of Colby‘s testimony, but said he discussed it with
several congressmen and aides and a Washington Post reporter.

He described the reporter as a friend who promised not to write
the story. But when he learned another newspaper planned to print
a story about. Colby’s testimony on the basis of a letter written by
Harrington seeking further congressional hearings, he released the
Post reporter from his promise, he said.

House approves consumer agency

WASHINGTON (AP) The House on Thursday passed a bill to
create a special agency to watch out for consumer interests in
private business and the federal government.

The vote was a narrow 208 to 199, almost assuring that a
threatened presidential veto would be upheld.

The House bill now goes to a conference with the Senate to
resolve differences between their two versions of the controversial
consumer legislation.

The legislation would establish an independent. nonregulatory
agency to represent the consumer in other federal agency
proceedings and before the courts.

The agency would receive consumer complaints. direct them to
appropriate federal departments and follow up on actio

Rep. John N. Erlenborn (Hill said that despite the many
amendments to the bill in an attempt to make it palatable to
Republicans, Ford has not changed his mind to veto it.

Student organizations are
striving to raise $1,500 in contri-
butions to United Way through
various fund raising projects.

Rosemary Lubely. coordinator
for student involvement in United
Way. said several programs to
raise money for United Way have
already started.

Letters requesting funds have
been sent to “almost every"
student organization, Lubely
said. "‘We've asked for $10 from
each. If we receive that we‘ll
reach a total of about $1.500.
Believe me. that‘s a lot from
students." she said.

There are plans to ask people in
the Student Center and Complex
Commons for donations.

“We're going to dress up like
clowns and ask people if they’d
like to contribute to the United
Way.” Lubely said. “We want to
be careful so people don‘t feel
pushed into it. though.“

Collecting in the Commons-
Student Center will begin Friday
at the Commons and will continue
for two weeks. collecting in each
location on alternate days.
Lubely said. She is also trying to
get permission to collect at
Commonwealth Stadium during
the Tennessee game.

Rewards are being offered to
student organizations that raise
the most money for United Way
betore December 5. Lubely said.

One of the projects, a haunted
house held at Boyd Hall Oct. 30.
raised $200 for United Way. said
Terry Strange, a member of the
haunted house organizing com-
mittee.

“Boyd Hall was asked to be on
a committee to raise money for
the United Way. We thought we'd
be more successful if we gave
people something for their
money." Strange said.

The project was a group effort
involving several north campus
dormitories. he said.

The group sold fifty cent
admission tickets, told fortunes
and sold cokes and cupcakes.
Strange said. He estimated 500 to
600 people attended.

The haunted house was held in
the basement of Boyd Hall, he
said. “We didn’t have to do much
to decorate it." he said. “It pretty
much fit the part as it was."

plans for a United Way fund
