UK faces natural gas cutback this winter

about $248,000. he said.

Major campus heating facilities are
designed for easy conversion from gas to
oil and decisions to convert to heating oil
will be made each month depending on the
'- . C1 ., _ amount of gas being consumed, Wessels

By JAMIE l.l‘(‘KE
Kernel Staff Writer

University heating facilities will be
operating on about 35 per cent less natural
gas this winter than last.

l'K's natural gas allocation was cut by
t'oluinbia Gas earlier this month in ac-
cordance with a Federal l’ower Com-
mission curtailment plan. The cur-
tailment plan authorizes up to a 40 per
cent curtailment at ['K and according to
James Wessels. physical plant division
director. the current 35 per cent figure is
still subject to change.

“The curtailment figures could change
monthly." Wessells said. "If we have a
warm November and Decmeber.
t‘olumbia (ias might go to a 30 per cent
curtailment; but if the weather gets down
to 30 below zero they may go back to a 40
per cent curtailment. They could go back
to ~10 per cent if the gas was unavailable."

Fuel oil will be used instead of the
curtailed natural gas this winter. Wessels
said. Replacing the natural gas with more
expensive fuel oil will cost the University

Bosomworth

advocates
new funding

system

By KEl'l‘ll SHANNON
Kernel Staff Writer

The vice president for the Medical
(‘enter Tuesday said he advocates a new
system of state funding for the Univer-
sity‘s medical institution.

Dr. Peter Bosomworth said in a speech
to Med (‘enter students and faculty that
the state Council on Public Higher
Education is switching from a con-
tinuation funding system to one of in»
dividual cost evaluation.

(‘on tinuation funding. Bosomworth said.
is a system in which ”it is assumed that
what money you had before, you‘re going
to get again plus something else that will
deal with the cost of living. plus a few other
little goodies that might relate to your own
priorities for the program."

l'nder‘ the alternate program the costs of
each program would be evaluated in-
dividually. The cost of providing medical
education. basic science graduate
education. research programs and other
essential programs for the l'niversity
would be evaluated.

“We've never gone forward with a
budget proposal with the state that clearly
defined all the costs.” he said. This
proposal would make it possible to make
comparisons among institutions both
within and outside the state

Bosomworth said it might take up to two
years to get the program underway

—-Biff Kigm
[)R. PETER BOSOM WORTH

Despite assistance this new type of
funding would offer. federal funding in the
form of per capita funds based on
enrollment has been undergoing cuts,
Bosomworth said. The Medical Center
receives per capita funds in four of its five
colleges.

Per ca pita funds have undergone a cut of
over $500,000in the past year. Bosomworth
said. Many faculty members are paid
from these federal funds. Bosomworth
said he hopes state funds can be obtained
to supplement reduced federal funding

Bosomworth expressed concern over the
shortage of physicians in the state. Hesaid
there are to counties in the state ex-
periencing a manpower shortage. “()ne—
half'of the citizens of Kentucky have never
seen a dentist.” he said.

Other areas of concern outlined in
Hosomw ortfi 's speech were student output.
research programs. patient care services
and medical school enrollment

"Wt need to operate an outstanding
ulticational program in all of These

Smoking

New group to ask se’nates
to set ban in public places

By WALTER IEIXSON
Assistant Managing Editor

A group representing the rights of non-
smokers plans to ask the Student Senate
and the University Senate to prohibit
cigarette smoking in public places.

With permission from the national
organization, the group will probably be
named (ZASP , Group Against Smoking
Pollution. The group will soon seek
l'niversiiv recognition as a student
organization.

Dr. Wayne Davis, zoology professor and
member of Action on Smoking and Health
iASH). would act as faculty adviser. The
group has met twice, once drawing 35
participants.

The local GASP chapter would attempt
to “make smokers more aware of the
pollution they cause,” said Enrique
l’antoja, one of the group's organizers. He
said the group will apply for
organizational status in about a week.

Howev er, the proposed GASP chapter is
already trying to get a spot on the Senate
(‘ouncil agenda. Marjorie Crandall.
biology professor. requested consideration
at Friday‘s meeting.

“I‘ve always felt strongly about it
(public smokingi,“ (‘randall said. “I got
the impetus to take action when students
began complaining. Smokers should
realize they‘re not the only ones with
rights."

Joseph Krislov, senate council chair—
man. said “we will be discussing (Friday)
a request to put the smoking thing on the
agenda forour December meeting. l'm not
sure what can be done." he continued, V"if
the faculty won't do anything" about
smoking in classrooms

The question of smokers' rights and the
rights of non smokers arose at My last
month when .lack t‘ litanton, vice

presrdent for business affairs. and Dr. HS
Sabharwal, academic ombudsman, co—
authored a memorandum requesting no
smoking in classrooms and other public
campus places because of complaints
from parents and students.

Although Blanton said he has heard of
only a few complaints since the memo was
circulated, (i‘ASP members say the memo
has had little effect.

(‘randall said people are “disregarding
the current rules." Susan Braen. biology
teaching assistant. said lack of en-
forcement necessitates that the GASP
group “complain collectively to give non-
smokers the courage to speak out.“

“We don‘t want to stop people‘s habits ~
our purpose is to preserve the air we
breathe. We are also stressing smoking
education among individuals." she said.

Among the proposals under con-
sideration by the proposed local GASP
group as outlined by Davis are:

checking the possibility ofsegregating
University cafeterias into smoking and
non-smoking areas;

., segregating and restricting smoking
in the University hospital which Davis
described as the “worst mess“;

rerestrictjng smoking in classrooms;
and

-» working with LexTran, which services
the University. to restrict smoking on
buses. Davis said the GASP will work
through the urban council for this.

“ l‘m quite confident that changes will be
made,“ Davis said. ”but I'm not sure of
the magnitude. We should get no~smoking
iregulationst in the classrooms. though."

Krislov was less assured about the
rxrssibility of instating new smoking
regulations. "If people think it (a
regulationt is trivial and won't comply
with If .and if it can‘t be enforced. why

pass it""

GSA bypasses
Student Senate

No one seems to be making any
bones about Tuesday’s General
Student Assembly (GSA).

It is clear the whole thing was a
set-up, plotted and planned by
Student Government (56)
President Jim Harralson and Vice
President Glenn Stith. The GSA

ramrodded the dynamic duo’s

reactionary views down everyone’s
throat so hard that even they don’t
try hard to hide it.

The GSA, as provided for in the
SG constitution, ”consists of all full
and part-time students.” It ”has
the power of resolution with regard
to SG policy, University affairs and
any other matters of concern to the
University community.”

Since the president can call one
at anytime, it’s obviously an easy
way to get around anything the
Student Senate does that the
executive branch doesn’t like.

And the senate has done a lot this
year that Harralson and Stith don’t
like. So, since they apparently
can’t command respect or support
for their opinions in any other way,
the answer is a GSA —complete
with Stith waltzing in with about 30
Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity
brothers and what he called
”friends” of himself and
Agriculture Senator Charlie
Masters. Then Stith said he was
iust trying to increase attendance.

Well, he should have been
worried about attendance. The $6
constitution also states ”all
meetings of the GSA shall be
adequately announced and open to
the public.” Harralson and Stith
both claim that it was announced at
the Nov. 3 senate meeting ——the
only problem is that no one seems
to remember the announcement.

Even Senator-at-Large Hal
Haering, who aligns himself with
Stith during senate meetings,

admitted he didn’t hear the an-
nouncement. And only one senator,
Matthew Welch from Arts and
Sciences, attended the GSA.

A tape recording of the senate
meeting reveals a gap, believe it or
not, so no one really can prove
whether Harralson made the an.
nouncement or not.

At any rate, Harralson blames
the lack of publicity on the Kernel,
which printed a brief article on the
GSA Tuesday. 36 Publicity
Director Timi Parke attributes it to
a ”great deal of confusion” and
”oversight.”

The lack of attendance leaves
legitimacy of the resolutions made
at the GSA open to question.
Harralson and Stith, however, feel
they carry the procedural force of
Student Senate resolutions, at-
tendance or not. Stith said the GSA
resolutions ”neutralize" earlier
senate resolutions which, of
course, state exactly the opposite
of the GSA resolutions. The GSA
passed resolutions which con-
demned SG’s support of the Gay
Students’ Coalition; denounced a
senate action allowing the National
Organization for the Reform of
Mariiuana Laws free access to 56
facilities within reasonable limits,
and denounced a senate action
lending SG’s name to a request for
facilities so a gay dance can be
held.

It isn’t hard to understand why
Harralson and Stith did what they
did #ra mrodding is nothing new in
56, whether liberal or con—
servative. But why number one
and number two are practically
advertising a set-up is a mystery.
The same effect could have been
obtained while remaining at least
semi-kosher. As it is, the results
are at the very least questionable.

'Little Deuce Coupe’

drives Frankfort

i see thatthe Beach Boys are coming
to the Frankfort Sports and Convention
Center on Nov. 25, and I’m mighty glad
about it. Normally ldon’t go to concerts

my ears can’t take the volume, and
the hippies are always as thick as their
flies but i always make it down to
catch the Beach Boys.

Let’s see...) saw them here at UK
tour years ago, then later I caughtthem
at Vanderbilt, in Louisville, and at the
University of Cincinnati. Ah yes,
Cincinnati! Whata swell time I had at
that concert. I was stonerdrunk by the
time the Boys came on, screeching
crazily for ”Little Deuce Coupe.” Later
I got in a brief fist-fight with several
hippies who insisted on making rude
comments about my taste in music and

unforgivably shouting ”Cut out
this old shit, let’s BOOGIE” at the
stage. I explained to the officer that
they’d tried to force marihuana on me,
and he ended up arresting them, which
was only right...

At any rate, when the Boys came
back for their extended encore period

which they devote exclusively to
oldies I ran down front and flailed
ab0ut wildly, dancing and stepping on
people, waving my empty bottle of
scotch...singing along maniacally to
”California Girls,” ”I Get Around,”
"Fun, Fun, Fun," ”Help Me, Rhonda,”
and, yes, they finally gave in to my
demonic howling and did "Little Deuce
Coupe.” (i tried to dive headfirst into
the speaker bank during that one, but

was intercepted by a kindly roadie as l
was making my dash.) I was physically
and emotionally spent by the time the
concert was over. Still, I managed to
rally myself and crash the backstage
area, where I introduced myself as
Kentucky’s only authentic surfer boy,
and got some autographs. They even
gave me a beer, and talked about
putting me on the payroll, seeing as
how I’d done such a splendid iob of
getting the crowd down front all
cranked-up during the encores...which
i turned down on the grounds that even
' couldn’t hope to inspire such mortal
Fear on a nightly basis.

But that’s neither here nor there. As
you might guess by now, I really love
their music, and I have since that
watershed day I first discovered rock
and roll music on the radio. Maybe it’s
not Beatles w though the Beach Boys
are the true American equivalent to the
Beatles ~ and surely it‘s not profound
in the way Bob Dylan is profound. But
on its own terms it’s very special and
very exhilarating, and there are times
in your life when the only way to clear
the rats from your attic is to stick your
head between the speakers of a monster
stereo and take a full-bore blast of
"Surfin’ USA.”

So...l’ll be in Frankfort for the con
cert. I’m sure the Boys are expecting
me, and Ican‘t let them down. And it
you promise not to yell anything even
remotely to do with Boogie, you’ll be
welcome there too. Though I can‘t
promise lwon’tclimb right across your
back when they launch into ”Little
Deuce Coupe.”

Jim Wilson

tr my five years at UK, t have quietly
foleiated the shortcomings of a brand of
garbage can liners known as the Kentucky
Kernel. l attributed these shortcomings to
the fact that the Kernel is a student
publication run by people who are still in
the process of learning their trade.

But the Kernel editorial endorsement of
Julian Carroll was outright irrespon
Sibitity; especially the timing, which left
no time for rebuttal.

First ofall, the Kernel sees coal asa four
letter word and anyone associated with it
as evil, sinister and unfit for public office.

TeQ_CUdnick"”“ “

It seems as though UK Coach Fran
Curci has been taking a lot of criticism
in the press and on campus lately, so as
a ”Fran Fan" I feel it my duty to come
to his defense and refute those terrible
attacks which seem to be increasing
daily upon his program desideratum in

football.
First, many people are rather upset

at the employment of the standard
(up-the middle for three) game plan in
lieu of attempts at razzle-dazzle, flashy.
gambling plays that have so often
meant victory for UK opponents. Even
Vanderbilt Coach Fred Pancoast came
out and admitted, "That’s why we
played a goal line defense virtually the
entire game.” But in defense of Coach
Curci’s repetitive game plan, I can see
that challenging and forcing the op-
ponents’ defensive unit to open up
would be too much to expect the

They forget that coal is prowding iobs for
thousands of Kentuckians and that most
mineowners are honest, responsible
people.

it the Kernel had done a bit of checking
as any responsible paper would. they
would have discovered that Bob Cable's
mining (ompany does not strip mine and
does pay higher wages and benefits than
the industry average. Also, two rivers
running through the Gable property have
been declared as "wild rivers“ under an
act of the state legislature as a result of
their unspoiled condition.

But the naive Kernel editors chose to
believe the propaganda which was
presented in an expensive, two‘color

opponents to do. So in the name of good
sportsmanship, our coach likes to keep
it simple and honest.

Second, regarding the alleged possi<
ble recruiting violation, what is so
wrong with taking Tom Jordan off-cam-
pus to Keeneland? After all, there is no
(horse) racing track on campus. l
support Coach Curci’s phil050phy of
Keeneland race track being ”very
much part of the community and (that)
the normal student body goes there.”
But there are those critics who say that
the normal student body also periodi»
cally exits to various Cincinnati rock
concerts and ”3.2 beer“ joints or even
utilizes the services of local brothels.
Oh, I only wish these critics would leave
the decision of what is considered
”excessive entertainment“ to Coach
Curci and the Kittens.

Third, to the many studying students
at the M.l. King Library shocked by the
nightly ”blitz“ of vociferous football

Kernel advertisement by the well heeled
Carroll campaign. The claim made in the
ad that Julian had revoked i90 strip mine
permits since becoming governor was a
wee bit off. State records indicate that
since I964 a grand total of two (count “em,
two) strip mine permits have been
revoked. Evidently Julian‘s campaign
cronies made a slight mathematical error.

After all, why would Julian want to bite
the hand that feeds him? In 1971, he and
his runningrmate, Wendell ”Dam it” Ford,
were the recipients of $80,000 collected at a
secretmeeting of coal (that’s COAL) strip
miners in Wise, Va. i find it hard to
believe that these people gave vast sums of
money without expecting something in
return.

Ah, but the Kernel confusion does not
end here. In the same editorial, the Kernel
criticizes Gable for opposing the prOposed
Red River dam without first making a
”study” of the issue. My memory may be
failing but I believe I remember the
Kernel criticizing the fact that Carroll was
waiting on more studies to make his
decision. I believe the phrase was
”studied to death.“

Gable, as did the vast majority of
Kentuckians, needed only to look at the
existing studies-rawhich were quite
abu ndantw and at the gorge itself, in order
to make his decision.

I hope that the anti dam forces are
aware of the secretmeeting lastspring in
Wolfe County attended by Carroll himself.
At this hush hush meeting of gorge area
officials, Carroll promised that when the
time ca me, the darn would be built. Ac
cording to the Clay City Times editorial,
Carroll said ” don 1 pay any attention
to axial I might say to the press, l intend 1
support the Red River dam l’tl not go
against Carl Perkins’ proiect "

This thing may nirt be dead yet'

Ltut what 11") you expect (it a man who
proclaims himself the world’s greatest
expert on Kentucky agriculture white
stating, ”When I was a boy, i worked on
my father s farm hanging tobacco in the
silo.’ In the silo? Really Julian!

va for those who are saying, “Well,
this guy i: iusta sore loser," i would like to
say that if Gable had won by a landslide,
this comment would have appeared

players immediately destroying the
serene surroundings of scholarly con-
centration, I say if you can’t stand the
disruption, leave! l mean, would you
rather have them study every night at
Coach Curci’s house and disturb him?

Fourth, probably the most outstan-
ding critic, former Kernel sports editor
John Vogel, has made life extremely
difficult for our coach by predicting a
47 season. l ask you, John, why have
you placed so much pressure on Coach
Curci to do so well this year? You and
people like you make me ill.

Fifth, i really get upset when the
critics point to Coach Curci’s sideline
display of emotions. Golly day, one
would think that all successful coaches
are mature and reserved (i.e., Don
Shula, Johnny Wooden, Joe Paterno).
Well how about successful coaches like
Bobby Knight or better yet Woody
Hayes? I say that if a coach has a great
record, he can act as he damn well

exactly as it is.

Due, in part, to the general feeling of
apathy among UK students concerning the
election, there was no massive campus
campaign. The college Republicans did
present several candidates on campus.
from both local and statewide races.

The Kernel, however, was too busy
unearthing or sh0uld I say, attempting to
create football scandals to cover any of
these speeches. The day after Gable’s
question and answer session on campus,
the Kernel did manage to print a
mislabeled photograph of Dr. Singletary
and a vague article which seemed more
concerned about Gable’s clothing and
appetite than in discussing the issues.

It was also amazing that the Kernel, in
another story on campus political groups,
would quote a spokesman for the College
Republicans whom no one in our
organization had even heard of. Or is it
that surprising?

A special thanks also goes to the Kernel
for the unusual number of mistakes,
misspellings and incorrect times in the
memos announcing our meetings.

Also, a certain University official did his
part when he informed me thata copy of
our campus newsletter would have to be
submitted to his office before we c0uld use
our free campus mailing privilege, a right
accorded to all student organizations for
years without hindrance.

The next four years of Julian Carroll’s
reign should be interesting to watch

’Fran fan’ defends football criticism

pleases. So the next time you critics
don’t like what you see from Fran
Curci, just check his record...2~6-l.

Sixth, fans are complaining about
Curci‘s reasons for losing games during
post-game interviews with his refer—
ences to such things as voo-doo dolls,
missing safeties, "dumb” reversal
plays and references to the "person”
who started the point-shaving rumors.
What do they expect! Our coach just
can’t say, ”Well Caywood, that’s what
happens during a re-building year!“
Heck, he's been using that one for the
past several seasons, and all of his
critics know that this year’s squad is
the team we’ve been building up to.
Give him a chance, people, he may,
before the end of the season, get up
enough courage to place the blame
where it really belongs.

Douglas retires

from Supreme Court

WASHINGTON (AP) - Justice William 0. Douglas retired from
the Supreme (‘ourt on Wednesday because of ill health, ending the
longest tenure in the tribunal‘s history. His retirement opens to
President Ford an appointment that could tip the balance of power
on the court.

Douglas, 77, said he would leave the bench immediately because
“I have been unable to shoulder my full share of the burden.” He
suffered a stroke last Dec. 31.

He has served 36 years on the court. He had made his mark as a
dissenter. a civil libertarian and a figure of controversy for his
private life.

Twice there had been moves in the House to impeach him as a
justice *the most recent led by then Rep. Gerald R. Ford.

It was to President Ford that Douglas submitted his retirement
letter. ending months of speculation that he would not step down
until after the next election. in hopes that someone other than Ford
would appoint his successor.

Ford's coming appointment will mean that a majority of the
court holds office by nomination of the Republican administrations
that began with Nixon in 1969.

With Douglas ill and frequently absent from the bench. there had
been speculation for months about possible successors. It was only
that.

(me name that figured in the guessing on Capitol Hill was that of
(‘arla A. Hills. now secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
