Renowned sports commentator says
sports should be played for enioyment

By BILL STRAUB
Kernel Staff Writer

Heywood Hale Broun, television person-
ality and sports commentator, bedazzled a
Memorial Coliseum audience last night,
calling for a return to sports for purposes
of enjoyment, rather than athletic compe-
tition under pressure conditions.

The mustachioed Broun, wearing one of
his famous sports jackets which he said
resembled a “stained-glass window,”
agreed with former pro basketball player
Tom Meschary when he said great athletes
are unable to compete for fun.

“THERE EXISTS for them (great
athletes) a shadow area —a place where
no one's ever been before —- but where they
are hidden to go. An effort they must
make.“ Broun said.

But not everyone. according to Broun, is
destined to be a great athlete. Although
books say it you try hard enough you will
succeed. Broun said, in life you may try
hard enough and be desperately dis-
appointed.

“There are things that make a tremen-
dous demand upon these great athletes,"

Congress overrides

presidential veto
of vets benefit bill

By RON MITCHELL
Managing Editor

Congress voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to override

Broun said. “They are agonizing. But the
essence is that it is a choice that is made
from within, not from without. It is no
good if you are a 110—pound Little League
second baseman with a slight strabismus
in one eye, with your father saying, ‘You
should hit a home run to make your mother
and me happy.‘

“THAT DOESN'T work," Broun said.
“It is not within you to do it. The fact that
two baseballs are coming at you all the
time make it difficult to bat even .250."

People have lost the “joy" of sport,
Broun said, because people set for
themselves the same standards profes-
sional coaches set for their highly paid
athletes.

“(Former pro-football coach) Vince
Lombardi used to say ‘Winning isn‘t
everything. it’s the only thing,‘ or however
he phrased it," Broun said. “To transmit
this philosophy to seven, weedy high
school boys is cruel because it is the nature
of sport that there will be as many winners
aslosers. It‘s always 50-50. Somebody has
to lose.“

”SOMEBODY IS NOT contemptible.
and is not one that did not try just because

they lose," Broun said. “If you put me in
the ring with Muhammed Ali and con-
vinced me that in some way he had killed
my son and I put my all into it, it would be
possible that it would be a minute and a
half instead of one minute before I fell
senseless to the floor."

Broun suggested a more worthy goal for
the layman than striving for the top in
every form of competition.

“Set for yourself goals that are just
slightly beyond what you can realistically
assume that you might accomplish," he
said. “After all, a man that plays golf on
the weekend cannot by reading a book by
Jack Nicklaus play “the type of golf Jack

Nicklaus plays."
INSTEAD BROUN told the audience to

ask themselves how much sport gives
them joy and at what point do they derive
pleasure from a certain sport.

Broun told of how he attended the Iowa
State Girls High School Basketball Tourn-
ament one time and got caught up in the
emotion of a particular championship
game pitting a large school against a small
school Myelling stomping and hollering
with the rest of the crowd.

President Ford's veto of a veterans education benefit bill.
The bill will provide for a 22.7 per cent increase in benefits
for about 1.800 UK students, according to James R.
Adkins. an education and training representative for the
Veterans Administration for UK.

The House of Representatives voted 39440 and the
Senate overrode the veto by a vote of 90-1.

TIIE MAJOR benefit of the bill is a $50 monthly increase
for single veterans now attending an educational
institution on a full-time basis, according to a staff
member of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs.

Single veterans going to school full-time will now
receive $270; those with one dependent will get $321 and
veterans with two dependents will be alloted $336 per
month, the staff member explained.

The bill also increased the number of months, from 36 to
45, which undergraduates can receive compensation. It
also provides for loans up to $600 per year for veterans
who cannot receive other funds from federal or other
governmental agencies, the spokesman said.

THE BILL will be retroactive to Sept. 1 of this year.
Checks for the back payments will be paid to veterans now
in school Within the next 15 days, according to a
spokesman in the Veterans Administration office in
Washington, D. C.

He said the first regular check with the increase will go
out Jan. 1.

President Ford had vetoed the benefits bill because he
considered it inflationary and excessive.

FORD NOT ONLY opposed the bill because of the 22.7
per cent increase, but he also opposed the loan provision
and the eligibility extension. Ford had suggested only an
18.2 per cent increase in benefits.

The overall price tag on the bill amounts to about an $1.8
billion addition to the (l. l. Bill

The version of the bill which was vetoed by Ford was the
result of a committee compromise lll both (‘ongressional
houses.

Waning with weapons

In a nationally televised press
conference Monday night President
Gerald Ford attempted to divide the
session into two areas: the nuclear
arms accord and the economy.
However, the two topics are more
related than Ford acknowledged.

While admitting that the new US.—
Soviet strategic-arms agreement will
allow continuance of costly nuclear-
weapons stockpiling, Ford asked the
Congress to trim the fiscal 1975
budget by $4.6 billion and to curtail
additional spending.

After a week of waiting to hear the
details of Ford and Soviet leader
Leonid Brezhnev‘s nuclear
agreement it is indeed disappointing
to learn that the US. nuclear arms
spending will be “relatively the
same" in order to maintain the
“ceiling" set in the Vladivostok
agreement

Ford said the US. defense budget
would be going up next year to take
care of the costs of inflation and in-
dicated the $18 billion now being spent
on nuclear arms will continue even
with the agreement.

The disillusioning fact of the “cap”
that was put on the arms race is that,
unlike some had predicted and hoped,
the defense and arms budget will not
be lessened. Now thatthere is a limit
on each country’s nuclear arsenal,
Ford said the administration has the
obligation to enlarge the US. nuclear
force “to stay up to the ceiling” set in
the agreement.

Under the accord, each country
may maintain an arsenal of no more
than 2,400 long-range missiles and
heavy bombers. Of that quota, both

nations could place multiple in-
dependently targetable re-entry
vehicles (MIRVs) on 1,320 missiles.

Unfortunately it seems too
idealistic to have hoped the
agreement would have called for
disarming nuclear weapons by both
countries. But the hope that there
would at least be a decrease in
nuclear spending has now disap-
peared also.

The ceiling placed on nuclear
weapons does nothing more than
encourage both countries to raise
their arsenals to the specified num—
bers and continue to spend money to
keep improving weapons so they will
be more powerful.

Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D—Wash.)
said Ford has misled the public in
saying the accord is an arms-
limitation pact. In rQlity. Jackson
said, “This will result in a buildup on
both sides, rather than a build-down.
In fact, there's nothing in the
agreement that has any hope for any
reduction until 1985.”

After admitting there will be an
increase in the defense budget, Ford
attacked the economy problems by
urging Congress to approve his
proposed budget cuts and provide $2.6
billion for a public-service em-
ployment program to combat the
rising jobless rate.

It seems incredible that Ford could
ask Congress to cut the federal budget
while maintaining the spending level
for nuclear weaponry and even in-
creasing total defense spending.

Setting those kind of priorities is
like cutting down the trees to save the
forest.

Let's bring out those other Founding Fathers

By NICHOLAS VON HOFFMAN

WASHINGTON —As any TV watcher knows, the
Bicentennial is almost on us. For some time now we’ve
been getting those 60-second, celebrity-narrated spots of
Revolutionary War trivia, sponsored by a gasoline
company, or is it a cereal manufacturer. It falls to CBS,
however to open the full season of patriotic hagiography
with Eddie Albert in a mminute super-duper playing
Benjamin Franklin, that marvelous, if cynically
lecherous son of Mercantilism and the Enlightenment.

Assuredly there will be more red, white and blue
speciab celebrating the other Founding Fathers, as we
call that group of Moses-like lawgivers. Nor does it take
an adventurous imagination to suppose that the tendency
of these shows will be to depict the FF’s as men of
infallible wisdom who handed down to us as perfect a
constitution as humans will ever write.

[N THE LIGHT of Watergate, the revelations about the
CIA’s Filthy Tricks Department, the FBI’s sabotage
campa'gn on the Bill of Rights, the IRS’s persecutions of
the politically disfavored and the growing feeling that the
greatest threat to American freedom is the United States
government, these programs may cause an epidemic
dementia praecox.

Americans dm’t need to hear glorifications about how
we formed a more perfect union —we get enough of that
stuff routinely between centenary anniversaries. The
people who pay for and put these programs on the air, on
the other hand, have a great need to pretty up the past in
a'der to obscure the present and convince us that in‘
cidents like Watergate are the fruit of Richard Nixon‘s

original sins. It is important for them to lead us to believe
that our national political institutions require no close
inspection, and that we understand what has gone wrong
is the work of evil, wicked, sinful and criminal in-
dividuals. Then it won’t occur to us that not one single,
important structural change in our system of polity has
followed from Watergate. All we’ve gotten is a spate of
election reform laws which at worst are unconstitutional
and at best are mechanisms which make it harder to drive
entrenched rascality out.

What's wanting are a few Eddie Albert TV specials, not
about the Founding Fathers, but about the Dissenting
Fathers, the men who opposed ratification of the Con-
stitution. Let‘s have one on George Mason (1725-1792) of
Virg'mia who refused to sign the Constitution.

IN A document dated Sept. 15, 1787, George Mason
predicted Watergate and the evolution of the modern
Presidency, In objecting to the Constitution he wrote these
words:

“The President of the United States has no Con-
stitutional Council, a thing unknown in any safe and
regulargovemment. He will therefore be unsupported by
proper information and advice, and will generally be
directed by minions and favorites...or a Council of State
will grow out of the principal officers of the great
departments; the worst and most dangerous of all
ingedients for such a (buncil in a free country, for they
may be induced to join in any dangerous or oppressive
measures, to shelter themselves and prevent an inquiry
into their own misconduct in office.“

And do you think that former President Nixon's

promises of clemency are truly past imagining? Mason
had a presentiment about that also:

“THE PRESIDENT of the United States has an
unrestrained power of granting pardons for treason,
which may be sometimes exemised to screen from
punishment those whom he had secretly instigated to
commit crime,and thereby prevent a discovery of his own
guit."

Mason had many other objections to our fundamental
charter. He objected to giving power to Congress to create
monopolies like AT&T and he pmtested, “There is no
declaration of any kind...against the danger of standing
armies in time of peace."

He was almost clairvoyant about the Federal court
system:

"THE JUDICIARY of the United States is so con-
structed and extended, as to absorb and destroy the
judiciaries ofthe several states; therby rendering the law
as tedious, intricate and expensive, and justice as unat-
ta'nable, by a greatpartof the community, as in England,
and enabling the richto oppress and ruin the poor."

Should Mobil Oil or General Motors or the National
Endowment for the Arts or the Ford Foundation feel
moval to sponsor a 90-minute special on the Dissenting
Fathers, there is an incident in the life of Patrick Henry
they might want to include. When asked why the old
revolutionary firebrand would neither help draw up the

Constitution nor support it, Patrick Henry answered, “I
smelt a rat.“

Four easy steps

on how to grieve

By (1.. B. MILLER. JR.

A few weeks ago a Kernel
reporter contacted me for certain
information about the Univer-
sity‘s Grievance Procedure. A
few days ago the Kernel
published an employe’s view
concerning the grievance
procedure.

I am hopeful this letter will
contribute to a lessening of any
confusion that may exist on this
subject. First, it is important to
clarify and distinguish “com-
plaints" from “grievances".

A person may have a complaint
and pursue the matter through
the grievance procedure. On the
other hand, an employe may
bring a complaint to a supervisor

without tiling it under the
grievance procedure.
The grievance procedure

provides for up to four steps for
the purpose of resolving a
grievance. Briefly stated the
procedure sequence is:

Step I requires the aggrieved
employe to bring the grievance to
the immediate supervisor.

Step II enables the employe, if
dissatisfied with the Step I out-
come, to take the matter to their
supervisor's supervisor; this is
generally the Dean or Director
level.

Step III. if still dissatisfied, the

employe may then take the
grievance to the Personnel
Division.

If still unsettled there is Step
IV. the President‘s level,
available to the employe if the
grievance meets certain con-
ditions, such as discrimination,
unfair employment practices,
etc. It is at this time that an
impartial Grievance Hearing
(‘ommittee is appointed to in-
vestigate the grievance and
submit a recommendation to the
President.

In tnose instances where an
employe chooses not to utilize the
grievance procedure no
established formalized time table
governs the sequence of events.
An empbye cannot be forced to
file a complaint as a Step I
grievance.

It is not unusual for an employe
to raise a complaint and intend it
not be handled as a grievance,
but at a later date request the
complaint be treated as a
grievance. Thus, it can be seen
that a complaint may or may not
be handled initially as a
grievance under the established
grievance procedune. It is my
judgment there is nothing wrong
with allowing an employe these
options.

To the extent Personnel
becomes aware of an employe
having first pursued a complaint
informally (not under the
grievance procedure), and later
deciding to have it handled as a
grievance under that procedure,
we attempt to advise both sides
where the matter is proceduraliy
at that time. We do this to
eliminate unnecessary
duplication and time delay. If we
find the complaint prior to being
called a grievance was reviewed
exhaustively by the immediate
supervisor, generally we advise
that the grievance begin at Step
II. In these instances our interest
is solely to determine where the
matter stands proceduraliy.

I think it is noteworthy to
mention that recently the
University established an Em-
ployee Counselor position in the
Office of the Vice President for
Administration for the purpose of
having someone available on a
full time basis to advise and
coumel with staff employes.
Victor Gaines was appointed to

 

k‘\ \ ; .::v”/;:/V

 

that position. Mr. Gaines is
available to assist employes with
their complaints whether filed
as a grievance or not. He is also
available to act as their
spokesman should they so desire.

I think it also noteworthy to
mention that the Physical Plant
Division recently established a
full-time position to deal with
personnel matters. Mr. William
Maxberry was appointed to that

 

position. He is available to deal
with complaints from Physical
Plant Division employes though
his duties are not limited to
complaints.

To the best of my knowledge,
all Physical Plant Division
openings for quite some time
have been listed and filled
through the Personnel Division.
Many positions are held open for
a period of time so that

”a

George Gtusti

University employes have first
opportunity for consideration. It
is my judgment this is as is
should be. I have no evidence and
no personal knowledge or any
reason to believe that jobs listed
by the Physical Plant Division
are listed in anything other than
good faith.

By BRUCE W. SINGLETON

A number of questions and suggestions about Kernel
circulation have come to us in recent months. Perhaps
this article will help to answer some of them.

The Kentucky Kernel publishes 14,000 newspapers each
morning during the school year (excluding weekends, test
days and holidays). The papers are free to members of the
University community, with all funding for operations
coming from advertising.

IN 1972, about 75 per cent of the 11,000 papers then
published were picked up. Since then, the circulation
pickup rate has grown to around 97 per cent of 14,000.
(These figures are based on a study we conducted during
October, 1973.)

The key to Kernel circulation lies in getting the papers
to the highest campus traffic areas as early as possible.
On a normal day, all papers on campus will be in the boxes
by noon, with the heaviest traffic coming between 10 and
11 am. If the paper is late, circulation is lost.

The time the paper is put in the stands is determined by
the time the papers arrive in Lexington. They are
published in Cynthiana, and a number of things can
happen to hinder early circulation.

ONE OF the most obvious reasons a paper might be late
in getting to Lexington is paper size. Making plates.

printing, bundling and loading a 20-page paper will always
take longer than, for example, an eight—page paper.

A second reason Kernels might not arrive early is the
fact that sometimes shopping aids are put into the papers.
This stuffing is done by hand, and simply takes time. The
utility of the shopping aid is weighed, however, against
the slight loss in circulation incurred.

A third reason the Kernel might be late is weather
Inclement weather not only slows down the truck from
Cynthiana, but also hinders the physical operations on
campus.

FINALLY, and regrettably, there are sometimes
physical breakdowns either at our campus production
center or at the Cynthiana plant. Our alternate plant is in
Shelbyville, and last-minute shifts cost us in time.

Understanding these problems, the Kernel printed a
letter from Jerry Lineberger in the Nov. 21 paper which
offered two suggestions. In the first suggestion, he said we
shouki “cut down the number of copies you print. Check
the Classroom Building, Student Center. et. al. for un-
taken Kernels —— too much paper used up.”

Keep in mind the date on that letter. The reason Mr.
Lineberger was able to make these observations might
merit some note. In the two weeks prior to his Icttcr. two
shopping aids had been inserted; a huge , 52-page
homer-m... 1, is. .... published; and our Cynthiana
equipment broke down for a whole day

THESE ARE simply not normal events. Each day, the
Kernels arrived in Lexington later than usual, missing the
high traffic time period, and papers were left over. Had
any one of the three happened during those two weeks, it
would have been unusual. Having three such problems in
such a short period of time added to our frustration and to
the frustration of the readers.

Asecond suggestion Mr. Lineberger made was that we
should “place boxes in conspicuous places for Kernels to
be put in for recycling. A good many end up in trash cans
and on the ground — the boxes were out last year and
seemed to do alright.”

This suggestion is not a new one, but it has prompted us
to work on plans for future recycling. The problem is a
log‘stical one, though. The boxes on campus last year
were placed by TKO (formerly Temporary Kentucky
Organization) with the permission of the Kernel. That
gmup handled all the recycling work: placement of boxes,
hauling, recycling-company connections, etc. At this
time, we are just not equipped to do any recycling work.

WE APPRECIATE the suggestions that have come in
and welcome more. We also encourage any group that
wont! liketo participate, either by itself or in ccopm'ativ‘n
with the Kernel in recycling eifoi ts, to let us know

Deadlock broken
on strip mine bill

WASHINGTON (AP) “House-Senate. conferees broke a months-
long deadlock Tuesday and approved a bill to impose the first
environmental controls on strip mining of the nation's coal.

The conference committee approved a compromise hill. 12 to 6,
sending it to the floors of both houses for final approval.

The breakthrough came after conferees agreed to a provision
allowing ranchers and farmers whose land sits above federally
owned coal to veto strip mining of their land.

Rep. Morris K. Udall (D-Ariz.) the conference chairman. called
the compromise “an excellent bill“ and predicted its passage by
the full Congress.

The bill faces a threatened presidential veto.

“I’m hopeful, however, that President Ford will Sign the bill,“
Udall said.

The bill has been tied up in the conference committee since last
summer.

It would prohibit strip mining wherever land could not be fully
restored after mining.

Cook may become next

LOUISVILLE (AP) «Louisville businessman John Y. Brown Jr.
said Tuesday that several American Basketball Association
franchises are interested in having U. S. Sen. Marlow (Took become
the next commissioner of the league.

Brown said the ABA will try to select a new commissioner later
this month to replace Tedd Munchak, interim commissioner.

Brown said (‘ook was the first choice of several franchises,
including the Kentucky (‘olonels Brown's wife. Ellie. is the
majority stockholder of the Colonels. He added that several others
are being mentioned for the position.

Brown said he planned to talk with (‘ook on the matter again
Friday. and would probably meet with him Friday or Saturday

Brown said he had spoken with the senator previously, but had
not discussed the subject in much detail.

APPALRED files suit

against board of education

FRANKFORT (AP) —The State Board of Education expressed
sympathy with the goals but resentment of the method Tuesday of a
group seeking to prohibit Kentucky schools from charging special
added fees.

The group involved is the Appalachian Research and Defense
Fund, (APPALRED), which filed suit in U. S. District Court here
last week on behalf of some students in Knox County specifically
and all Kentucky pupils generally.

The suit was filed against the state. Gov. Wendell Ford. State
Supt. of Public Instruction Lyman Ginger, all members of the state
board and the members of the Knox County School Board.

It said many Kentucky children are denied their constitutional
right to an education because they cannot afford to buy textbooks
or pay special fees charged by schools. Examples of such fees are
those for chemistry or other laboratory courses, athletics and other
activities.

Haldeman denies attempt
to head off FBI investigation

WASHINGTON (AP) «H. R. Haldeman denied under bitter
cross-examination Tuesday that he ever intended to misuse the
Central Intelligence Agency to cut short the initial FBI
investigation into Watergate.

Spending his third day on the witness stand at the Watergate
cover-up trial, Haldeman said he had no memory of any plan to
prevent the FBI from uncovering links from the White House and
the 1972 Nixon re-election committee to the original Watergate
break-in.

Before Haldeman resumed the stand. U. S. District Judge John J.
Sirica disclosed he is considering taking the testimony of Richard
M. Nixon by submitting written questions to the former president.

The judge asked three court-appointed doctors who have
examined Nixon to recommend whether he is healthy enough to
provide written answers to questions submitted by both
prosecution and defense lawyers.

only home for unwed mothers

By ROBIN Bl'(‘HANAN
Kernel Staff Writer

The Florence Crittendon Home, founded in 1894,
remains Kentucky‘s only home for unwed mothers.
The home. originally called the House of Mercy.

New York City in 1883.

A MANL‘AL distributed at the home lists
admission requirements as “an unwed mother who
is in normal physical and mental condition...who
can conform to the agency‘s policies and rules."
Janice Venable, new director of the home, added,
“The women may not have been in Florence
Crittendon Homes previously." There are also no
age limits.

The manual also includes information on the
home‘s accredited junior and senior high programs,
aml on correspondence courses available through
UK. Girls out of school can enroll in the home's
work program.

Each girl pays $16 per day to help run the home on
a non-profit basis. Funds are also received from the
United Way, according to Venable.

VENABLE POINTED out that financial aid and
Medicaid are available to the girls.
