71 complaints in two weeks

Senate Council to study conflicts between exams, classes

By DEBBIE MCDANIEL
Copy Editor

The Senate Council authorized on
Friday a committee to study
complaints of students who attend
classes late in the day and experience '
conflicts when exams for other classes
are scheduled at the same time.
According to Council member and
academic ombudswoman Jane
Emanuel. nearly 7l students in the
past two weeks have complained of
such conflicts. She said the largest
number of complaints came from
students in the Marching Band who
are also enrolled in chemistry.
economics or accounting courses.

These three departments schedule
four exams given to all sections of the
course at 5 pm. on specified dates.
which conflicts with the marching
band 's 5 to 6 pm. daily rehearsals and
other classes. As a result. students
must either take a special exam or be
excused four times each semester from
their scheduled class. Emmanuel said.

The situation occurred because
instuctors refused to compromise and
excuse the students from either the test
or their regular course.

“The problem has been handled on a
one-to-one basis or where there is a
largenumbet'tofstudentsinvolved)we
solve it by compromise.“ she said.

Crowd watches as movie Stuntman attempts
to break record; A.J. Bakunas dies from injuries

By RICHARD MC DONALD

\evvs I ditor

“Subconsciously. people want to see
me miss." A.J. Bakunas once told an
interviewer. “They want to see me
splat.“

A.J. Bakunas died Friday morning.
He was fatally injured Thursday
evening doing what he is best known
for ~ falling from great heights for
movie cameras. He was performing a
stunt for the movie Steel. And he was
watched by a crowd estimated as large
as 2.000.

But there was no sign in the crowd of
the subconscious attitude of which
Bakunas spoke. Instead. there was a
quiet. but rather joyous sense of awe

for the man and for the task he had
set before himself.

The quiet was striking. Bakunas‘
audience was the sire of the crowd at
an average high school football or
basketball game. But there was none
of the noise associated with those
ev ents, There was no shouting. waving
or scene making.

Instead. there was anticipation.
These people had gathered around the
base of an unfinished office building in
downtown Lexington to share
Bakunas‘experience and. hopefully. in
his triumph over the cold. immutable
laws of physics that some said would
make his goal impossible.

His goal to set the world free-fall
record. To fall 323 feet from Kincaid
Tower and survive.

He had once held the record. but
earlier this month. another stuntman
jumped 289 feet from a helicopter to
take it. Bakunas wanted his record
back.

"I'm a professional stuntman." he
told reporters just before he jumped.
“I‘ve got pride in what I do. There was
always one thing in life lwanled to be
the best in For me it was the high tall.l
want mv record back,"

Ihe crowd on Vine Street was with

him. And why not'.’ There‘s a special
place in our collective psych for the
stuntman. the daredevil.

We look up to the man with the "devil-
may-care" attitude: we sing about
"The Man on the Flying Trapeze."

A.J. Bakunas had other attributes.
The 27-year-old former pre-med
student from New Jersey was healthy.
handsome and articulate. “I don‘t
want to say this is a piece of cake. It's
not." he said. “But I love this. This is a
holiday to me."

They cheered when Bakunas rode
the construction elevator up the side of
the building. The sandy-haired man
waved. As large fans inflated the
airbag into which Bakunas would fall.
people on the ground talked to one
another.

There was one man who would be
best described as a groupie. Not in the
conventional sexual sense. but rather
because of his unquestioning.
wondrous admiration. The stocky
long-haired man. manager of a local
nightclub. wore a T-shirt emblazoned
“America's Number One Fall Guy
A.J. Bakunas.”

He said. to no one in particular.’
“A.J. comes in the club all the time.
He’s a good dude. kind of wild. but
nice. I said to him. ‘Hey. A.J.. buddy.
we gonna do it'." He said. ‘You better
believe it.‘ "

With that. the manjoined the rest of
the group. staring at the top of the
tower. looking for Bakunas‘ small
figure.

A man with a megaphone called for
"absolute silence.” He got it. While
some movie crew members shooed
stray onlookers out of the camera's
field of focus. others made minor
adjustments in the bag‘s position.

Finally. the time came. Bakunas
appeared on the ledge of the 22nd
floor. After what seemed like a long
hesitation. he jumped from the steel-

plate deck into the thin void of mass.
velocity. lorce and acceleration.

He fell. kicking and screaming as he
was directed to. He hit the yellowand
white airbag with a resounding smack.
From the ground. it appeared the
jump was a success. The crowd
clapped and cheered. suddenly
identical to a high school football
crowd.

But observers in the tower knew the
jump had gone wrong. tragically
wrong. Bakunas had struck the bag
face-down. He sliced neatly through
it‘s top. unimpeded in his fall.

When crew members on the ground
realiled Bakunas wasn't on top of the
bag. they ripped open flaps on its side.
Peering inside. they saw him lying on
it‘s bottom. bleeding.

University’s prosecution of Turner protestors

reflects its bra

By GEORGE POTRATZ

"And thet wrote it all down as the
progress of man.

Onicpt. l0. after two days of
massa n which the troops of the
shah of Iran killed thousands of
demonstrators. President Carter
called the shah from Camp David to
assure him of continued U.S. support
and expressed his hopes that the shah‘s
”movement toward political
liberalization would continue."

Such grim absurdities abound these
days. as the government and the media
(the recent Time cover story is a good
example) try to portray the shah as an
embattled progressive. whose efforts
to bring Iran into the 20th Centuryare
opposed by ultra-conservative
religious fanatics.

The shah also spouts this line. but
mostly for foreign consumption. At
home. the shadow of Allah who in
the past maintained that God
appeared to him in a vision and elected
him king cannot appear anti-
Muslim. In Iran. the shah calls hisfoes
“Communists under a different
name.“

That these are the same people our
press calls reactionaries will
undoubtedly bother only the purists.
After all. a corpse is a corpse. And for
those revolutionaries still alive. there is
always thje all-purpose tyerm for
anyone who opposes American
imperialis too forcibly: terrorist. If
anyone t 'nks that term might be

 

 

better applied to a king whop shoots
his unarmed subjects down in the
streets than to those subjects
themselves -- they obgiously havenot
yet learned the meaning of the term.

One theme the press harps on is the
Shah is the liberator of woml‘n
(oppposed by masses dying in the
streets. I suppose. to keep women in
veils). In this light it is interesting to
examine what the Shah had to say on
the subject of women to Oriana
Fallaci. Italian journalist:

Q: Your majesty. is If true you 'i'c

This should give a clue to the Shah's
brand of liberalism. the political
liberalization we hear so much about iS‘
a facade of parliamentarty democracy
which attempts to cover the brutal
dictatorship maintained by the
Pahlevi family in the interests if the
small. incredibly wealthy class which
benefits from foreign “modernization"
of Iran.

This facade includes a single legal
party, the shah's. All others are
outlawed. This facade is crumbling in
the present crisis, however. As one
British paper. Manchester Guardian
remarked recently. "The disappear-
ance of the Rastakhis. the single party
set up by the Shah and whose collapse
was offically acknowledged. means
that the regime is abandoning its
repeated attempts at artificially
putting down roots among the
people." (illanchester Guardian
8 3078)

The “Mode ni/ation“ which is the
crux of the m tter. means. of course.
the capitialist “development" of Iran
by multinational corporations. mostly
based in the U.S. This process involves
a “land reform" program which results
in the turning of land over to
international agri-business and the
driving of peasents offthe land into the
urban slums. It also means the
industrialization of Iran by multi-
nationals using the ample cheap labor
force created by the process of “land
reform.“ as well as Iran‘s wealth of
unexploited natural resources and raw
materials. Ihe multi-nationals are
aided by the government which sets
aside land for them. grants them tax
breaks. duty-free import rights and the
like. As the Iranian Chamber of
Commerce put it:

“An cver-groing number of
foreigners have decided to invest in
this country in rccnt years. No doubt.
they have been encouraged by the fact
that Iranian domestic law have beeen
framed deliberately to attract priate
capital into the country and to
minimize the number of possible
obstacles in its path." ( .llerip Reports
Ill. page IS),

Such modernization means an

increasing gap between the Iranian
rich and the Iranian poor. It also
means the control of their country by
foreigners. People who oppse such
modernization are not necessarily
reactionary.

The facade with which the media try
to cover the Shah’s regime is similar in
many ways to the facade in which the
UK administration has tried to wrap
itself in its treatment of Iranian
dissidents and their supporters.

By their version of these things. the
administration merely acts as a neutral
force in trying tp preserve an arena of
free discussion. Those of us who go on
trial downtown tomorrow. by the
administration’s account. are the
opponents of freedom; we sought to
disrupt that arena. to deny others their
right to speak and to hear.

But the facts are otherwise. The
University administration. like others
around the country. is engaged in an
active in opposing the Shah‘s regime.

It is. of course. impossible for us to
know. the exact nature of UK‘s.co-
operation with the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS). FBI.
and CIA and through them to
SAVAK. But a few facts may suggest
the larger picture.

At Jefferson Community College. a
division at UK. where Iranian students
have systematically been denied any
political liberties on campus. the
college director. Dr. Horvath. has a
picture of Shah on the wall of his
office. Last spring. he engaged in a
process of open collaboration with the
local office of INS in Louisville.

That office. in applying an
immigration regulation which says
that foreigners holding student
visas must be making satisfactory
progress towards a degree. had
attempted to interpret “satisfact-
ory progress"to mean twelve hours
a semester with a C average. But
when the district office in New
Orleans they would not be able to
revoke the students‘ visas on that
basis. the Louisville INS went to
Dr. Horvath and told him if he
were able to establish such a rule.
and expel foreign students on that
basis. the INS would be able to
proceed as they wished. JCC
established that policy and
expelled 58 students. most ofthem
Iranians.

Unfortunately for UK and INS.
four students suing on behalfofthe
others succeeded in getting the
district court to abolish JCC's
flagrantly discriminatory policy.
After the court's decision. UK legal
counsel John Darsie announced
the University‘s repentence.

JCC should have limited itselfto
reporting students' status to the

nd of ’Iibera/ism,’ that of Shah

INS he said. In the future “we
intend to limit ourselves to making
the report. . .and leave the matter
of whether students are to be
deported“ to the immigration
service. (ngisyi/Ie Times 8I24/ 78)
Comforting.

After the arrests here last spring.
UK collaboration with INS
surfaced when INS officers popped
up at a hearing for the onejuvenile
in the case and let slip that the UK
police had tipped them off.

This context may help to explain
the aggressive nature of the arrests
themselves. The Dean of Students
began harrassing protestors as
soon as they entered the hall. and
arrested people for nothing more
than holding signs ~ half of us
before Turner had ever entered the
hall. One undeniable effect —— if
not the intent -— of the arrests was
to publish and supply INS with the
names of politically active
Iranians. U K cannot be ignorant of
the potential danger this poses for
the students themselves. as well as

. for the relatives back home.

Yet. in spite of all this. the UK
administration insists on its
neutral position as protector of
free speech on campus. After 80
faculty members signed a petition
which expressed their shock and
alarm at the arrests as a violation
of our right to free speech and
urged the administration to cease
participation in our prosecution.
President Singletary released a
statement saying in effect. “far be it
from us to interfere with the
operation of the courts“ — as
though it were not the University
which had arrested us in the first
place!

The neutrality of the University
in this matter matches the
academic neutrality of the
Patterson School of “Diplomacy
and International Commerce"
itself. But that is a matter for
another article.

I will content myself with
remarking that the school‘s
director. Dr. Vince Davis. does not
have a picture of the Shah on his
office wall. But he does have one
inscribed to him by his old buddy.
and member of the school's board
of advisors. Stansfield Turner.

The people who go on trial
tomorrow need your support. The
trial begins at l0 a.m. in the Fiscal
Courtroom. 4th floor. County
Courthouse. and will probably
continue on Wednesday. Please
come and observe the proceedings.

'Legal stipulations’ keep UK tuition
from being paid with credit cards

By JAY FOSSICTT
Staff Writer

"Charge it?" those
infamous words that were at
one time uttered solely by
rushing housewiyes at
department store‘sales. is now a
comman phrase of many
college students who use credit
cards for paying tution and
other registration fees.

A representatiye from
Interbank ('ard Association in
New York said there has been
no formal research conducted
to determine the actual number
of schools which extend the
credit card seryice to students.
Howeier. an increasing
number are doing so. she said.

According to Jack Blanton.
vice-president for business
affairs. UK would probably
have a credit card service if it
weren‘t for certain legal
stipulations.

"Banks impose a typical
serivce charge of four or lite
percent." Blanton said.
“howeier in Kentucky. the rise
of public funds for this type of
service is of questionable
legality.“

"Down at a few collegiate
institutions in lerinesse.“ said
Blanton. "some baiiks do not
impose a seryice charge for
credit cards but instead write it
off as a contribution to a
charitable organi/ation."

Blanton said M a similar deal
could be worked out with a few
Lexington banks. l'K might be

able to implement a credit card
program.

If the University did
incorporate such a program.
Blanton said. there is a
possiblity‘ that students could
also use their credit cards to
purchase books and supplies at
the l'nitersity Bookstore.

"From the business affairs
point of New." Blaiitori said.
“we would be delighted to
implement a credit card
program simply because credit
cards are much easier to
process than personal checks."

According to Paul l)elong.
Bursar (treasurer) at Ohio
State l'niiersity. ()Sl' started
accepting credit cards in the tail
of I969 and was one of the first
colleges to instigate a credit
card program.

“Anywhere from eight to ten
percent» of Ohio State's student
body pays their fees by credit
card.“ said l)elong. “but that
figure \aries from year to year. "

l)elong added that students
could only pay room. board
and tution with a Visa or
Master ('harge card because

those were the only cards

accepted at ()Sl'.

“Normally. we require fees in
one lump sum.“ said l)elong.
“therefore most students. as
well as parents. like the idea of
credit cards because it allows
them to mold carrying large
amounts of cash or haung to
transfer funds from one
checking account to another."
