Animal lab transfers may be costly

(AP )—Transferring Kentucky‘s
animal diagnostic laboratories to
UK and Murray State University
(MSU) could cost the state $6 million
in federal funds, state Agriculture
Commissioner Thomas Harris said
yesterday.

Gov. Julian Carroll recently
signed an executive order tran-
sferring the labs at Hopkinsville and
Lexington from the state Depart-
ment of Agriculture to the univer-
sitites.

The US. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) has “indicated
their displeasure byletter," Harris
said in a telephone interview from
Frankfort. “They thought the
working relationship we had was
good . . . They were very well

satisfied with the way things were
going and wewere too."

An aide to Carroll, Roy Stevens,
said the governor felt the two
facilities could provide broader
services while continuing the
present work of detection,
prevention and control of animal
diseases.

In a telemone interview from
Frankfort, Stevens said Carroll
believed the labs could mesh with
existing research programs at UK
and MSU and provide expanded
educational opportunities.

In a letter to Harris Friday, Dr.
M.J. Tillery, southeast regional
director of the USDA‘s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service,
said the laboratory service “is of

vital importance to our joint
brucellos's eradication program."
Bruceliosis causes sterility, abortion
and loss of milk production among
cattle.

“We fear that astate official who
may be neither a veterinarian nor a
member of the state Department of
Agriculture may not understand our
effort sufficiently to reach the ob»
jectives ofthecooperative programs
in Kentucky," said Tillery.

The federal government is ex-
pected to give the state $6 million
over the next two years for the
program, and, Harris said, “We‘ve
got to work it out with them, or we
could lose the funds.“

In a letter Monday to Carroll,
Iiarris said the effectiveness of the
program “may be jeopardized if the

Sporting equipment abundant
but recreation facilities limited

By ANITA STURGILL
Kernel Reporter

Now that the weatheris getting a
little colder and damper, students
are retreating inside more for
recreation.

No matter what the seasonal
sport, the UK Seaton Center offers
facilities and equipment for various
types of recreation. Students,
faculty and employes of the
University can rent just about any
kind of sporting equipment desired
with a validated UK identification
card.

Equipment ranges from bad-
minton racquets and nets to hor-
seshoes, frisbees, volleyballs,
sleeping bags andbackpacks.

There are the usual basketballs,

footballs and softballs on hand, in
addition to the not-so-common
exercise andgymnastic equipment,
plus a sauna.

However, because of the demands
for the equipment, it‘s not easily
obtainable. Bernard Johnson,
director of campus recreation, is
concerned with the shortage
problem as a result of “mass
people” usage.

“Every year we put in a budget
request for things we need, but we
canonly get so much," he explained.

Both the recreationand physical
education departments are housed
in the Seaton Center,which makes
the facilities crowded when people
want “free playing” time.

“People always complain that
they can't get into the gym to play

In case of increase
New seat priorities fixed

The Ticket Committee of the UK
Athletics Association has recom-
menibd a division of 75 per cent
facultystatf and 25 per cent general
public for any new seats thatmight
become available for the 1977- 78
basketball season at Rupp Arena.

Athletics director Cliff Hagan said
it is anticipated that fewer than 100
tickets will become available for this
purpose.

He said names of persms who will
receive those new tickets will be
selected at randomfrom a file that
the ticket office has compiled from
past ticket requests that have been
processed.

“The will be done after orfiers
from pr'nr season ticket holden are
filled," Hagan said, “and those

applicants whose names are
selected will be promptly notified.
They will pay the full price for the
tickets, but will be eligible for
consideration for a faculty discount
next year "

Meanwhile, Hagan said provisions
have been made for other faculty
and staff members with non-
discounted tickets to receive
discounts as space provides. Those
aIe persons who paid the full price
after receiving their priorities by a
public drawing last year.

“They may apply fora discount by
contacting the UK ticket office by
letter no later than Nov. 15, givirg
name and SocialSecurity number, "
said Hagan “From those letters a
random selection will be made and

basketball or whatever, but classes
are held until4 p.m.and intramurals
start at 5 pm," Johnson said.

“It really bothers methat people
can 't play when they want, but we‘re
doing the best we can," he added.

According to Johnson, the in-
tramurals program has increased
about25 per cent this year, and more
time is allotted for them because
“more students can participate at
one time."

But Johnson said the Seaton
Center is working toward a Phase [1
addition to their program. He ex-
plained, “In Phase II, we would like
to add more racquetball courts,
another universal exercise machine,
wrestling mats and another gym."

However, he estimated its com-
pletion to be about fiveyears away.

the ticket office will make a 25 per
cent refund at a later date to those
replacing the facultyand staff that
gave us priorities last year.

Persons who receivedthe faculty-
staff discount lat year were those
whose p‘iorities were transferred
from MemorialColiseum and those
who were allotted new seats in the
expanded faculty-staff section at
Rupp Arena.

Hagan said the Athletics
Association is limited to a maximum
of 2,000 discounted seats by contract
with the Lexington Center Cor-
poration, and that heintends to
make certaii that a maximum
number offaculty and stafmembers
receive the discount.

 

 

federal government uses this
transfer as a reason to cancel
cooperative agreements currently in
effect between this department and
the USDA."

Harris said Tuesday he had no
criticism of either university, but
added he felt the laboratories have
“been working rather smoothly,"
and the program should be left
untouched.

The USDA still can contract with
the State Agriculture Department
for joint programs and the state
department can, in turn, deal with
the universities, Stevens said.

The administration, Stevens said,
is “confident that any official
reaction from the USDA would be
different from their initial reaction.

 

UK departments
feel money bite

on travel budgets

liy S’l‘l‘lVl‘I ll lltSt'll
Kernel Reporter

For more than a year, UK faculty
and administrators have felt the
crunch on travel expenses'l‘he new
l3iiiversity policy regarding travel
funds reflected the f inancialsqueeze
felt by all state institutions, par-
ticularly educational ones.

lion t‘lapp, administration vice
presidentsaid that “thestate asked
all state agencies to review their
travel a nd tcconomize ) .The request
was that they simply look carefully
atthe justification for sending more.
than one person to a meeting."

(‘lapp also described changes in
the procedure for allocating travel
funds. “In the past. thcstate would
pay $21 a day for a roomand up to so
much per meal." he said. “Other
expenses would be covered on a
justified basis. Now, they've set a
per diem rate depending on whether
it's «the tripi instate tor) out-of
state and how expensive the city is."

Jack lilanton, business affairs
\‘lCt‘ president.explained the policy
from an administrator‘s point of
view. “The President (Singletary)
has requested that in association
meetings. like the National
Association of Budget Officers, that
we not send people in battalions
because one representative can
usually bring back the information."
he said,

“'l‘hat's done as a way of saving
backaand w e’vc tried to implement
it in business administration," he
added.

itlanton added that “under special
situations there are exceptions. For
instance, we are sending our
dieticians and cafeteria staff to a
training session."

’l'ravcl funding restrictions affect
rcsearch-oriented departments
much less than liberalarts—oriented
departments. according to Dr.
Fletcher tiabbard, chairman of the

physics and astromony department.

This is because ‘ ‘a lotof our people
work on research grants, in which
case the principal investigator
allocates travel money,“ he said,
and are not dcpcndenton University
funds

“if a research project applies to
the lilnergy Research and
Development Agency or the
National Science Foundation for aid.
they submit a budget which
allocates some money for travel.
’l‘hedctails ofliow individuals use
the Iiioney is determined by the
principal investigator. but the total
sum for travel is negotiated as part
of the proposal to an agency "

(:abbard does not claim, however,
that his department has all the
travel funds~ it wants. in addition to
its litill‘lilith'I’Slly funding. there is a
small budget from [K which allows
faculty members to attend one
meeting a year.

lir. .loc Thompson, history
tlt'pill'lllit‘nl chairman, commented
on the money shortage and the
debilitating effectfravel limitations
have on his faculty members'
carccis “There‘s been no cutback
in travel funds (for theliberal arts
department), The problem is there
hasn‘t been an increase.“ he said.
“We have more faculty members
now and travel expenses are higher.
so they getlcss trips."

Thompson pointed out that when
he first came to the t'niversity, half
the cost of a business trip was
covered by the budgetN ow. even if
a member is an officer of some
organization or must deliver a
paper. usually only one meeting is
paid for in addition to airfare and
Sift for expenses, he said.

“If you want to keep tip with your
profession. you've got to pay out of
your pocket," he said. “At the same
time, the faculty has been getting
fivepcr cent increases. They can't
afford to travel."

1 would like to comment on Joe
Bryant's statement in Monday‘s
Kernel.

In that article. Bryant issues a
challenge to Alabama and then
slashes out at them with a statement
that shows it hat little thought he has
given the idea

"Probably one of the luckiest
teams in the world is Alabama.
btcause they do not have to play
us." he said “We would humiliate
them."

Let me set the record straight for
‘ilr. Bryant. This may hurt. and
l't'l‘OI‘t' I even start I want you to
know l think he is a hell of a good
ballplayer But it would be a bit
immature to think his statement was
ethical.

This statement belongs in a class
of other “if” statements that just
tan‘t be proved. Other examples:
it" Muhammad Ali met Rocky. you
know it ho the winner would be; “if"

The Brookside strike holds bad
memories for everyone involved.
memories of violence, fearand hard
times. The striking miners had to
live on a maximum of$100 per week
in strike benefits.

The company lost production and
the mines deteriorateda little every
day they went unattended. The
workers at other mines run by
Eastover were afraid togo to work
for fear of pickets trying to keep
them out.

The film would leado ne to believe
that l-Iastovcr hiredstrikebreakers,
this is not true. The film showed
scenes of men forcing their way
through picket lines to go to work.

The truth is that these employes of
the Highsplint mineta mine run by
Eastover and represented by SLU)
located 10 miles from Brookside.

The strikers hadno right to hinder
these men from working. In fact, the
strikers formed blockades on public
roads. blocking off all traffic for
hours. The picketline at Highsplint
consisted not only of striking
miners. but their wivesand children
and people who were in no way
connected with the mines.

The strikers claimed to be fighting
for the right of miners to be
representedby the union of their
choice. Why. then. did they not honor
the right of the Highsplint miners to
be represented by SLU'.’

The film would also lead you to
believe that the Kentucky State
Police sided up with the coal
operators. This too,is totally false.

The police maintained a position
of strict neutrality during the time
they were at Brookside and
Highsplint. They were there to see
that the public roads were kept open

One thing about Alabamians, we
respect other teams in the SEC.
Even when‘Bama has been “lucky"
enough to win national cham-
pionships and numerous conference
titles, I can‘t recall words-of-wit
coming outof ‘Bama's squad as Mr.
Bryant entertained us with.

Kentucky is on the verge of
bringing the SEC crown to
Lexington andit seems that this is
not enough for Joe. Well, we had best
keep our minds on our “real”
football games and not wander into
the ”what if" situation.

'Bama will play Kentucky in “real
life"in upcoming seasons and then
we can make legitimate com-
parisons. Unfortunately for ’Bama,

prove his remarks as being valid.

However, I do regret having to
write an letter suchas this. My wife

find that she is absolutely rightwhen
she said I would come to admire

between $60 and $75, depending on
where they work.

The UMWA is big business con-
ccrned withits own survival. It's a
poorly run business, too. The large
number ofillegal wildcat strikes,
sufficiently drainedits funds to such
an extent that it had to cut back on
medical benefits to the miners. In
anger, the miners struck even more,
which further depleted the fund.
What kind of union can’t even
control its own membership.

The last UMWA contract was a
poor im provement over the previous

one and Arnold Millerhas little to
bargain with this time. Most coal
buyers have increased their stock-
piles of coal and some claim that
they have enough to last all winter.
Alsothe union is in serious financial
trouble.

anyone wants to join a committee to

advise you to try andget the whole

questionnaires on a regular basis
during his two terms in the
legislature. He has been the one
public official who could be seen
meeting with the people he
represents attimes whenan election
wasn‘t just a few weeks away.

These are justafew reasons why I
think Joe Graves should become
Lexington‘s next mayor.

Compromise

Throughout history the church has
been expected to adapt tosociety in
order to meet the needs of people
”where they‘re at." This adaptation
has often resulted in the church
comprising its values.

This was perhaps first seen in the
Hebrew people's religion: Yahwism.
or godliness in its perfect form.

Assimilation took place within
the‘r religion through acculteration
brought about by invasions made on
other people such as the (Tanaanites.

it is thought that Yahwism in its

nd religion inspire reader response

purest form existed among the
prettebrew people. However. this
purity was: perverted by amends to
adaptto the culture that they had
become a part of through imasion.

The purity of \"aliwism was not
lost because the things that Yahweh
itlodi desired were compromised to
precipitate the adaptation.

Religion has been the basic
foundation upon which all societies
have been built, including our own
which is based on .ludeo-Christian
principles Yahwism.

(todliness is the focus of religion
and when godliness is comprised
within religion. thelatter loses its
resilience. power audits ability to
meet the individual‘s needs. (‘on-
sequenfly, the foundation of society
iswcakencd and society as a whole
suffers.

As religion concedes again and
again, it steps further away from the
uncorrupted form of Yahwis‘m and
becomes ungodly instead .
providing no spiritual or moral
absolutcs for society.

It is interesting to note that from
the time the Hebrew people began to
com promisetheir pure form of Yah-
wism lintil now. there has been an
emergence of prophetsconstantly
reiterating the truths found in Yah~
wism's original form.

These men. often labeled fun—
damentalists by their peers. have
taken a firm stand and said, “We
willgo no further.“ Having made a
judgment based on the absolutes
found in true godliness. these
prophets call for a return to pure
\ ahwism as revealedin the written
word of (iod and the living word of
theSpirit. This pureness is revealed
in the life and person of Jesus Christ.

Throughout the ages men have
cried out for a return to God: men of
different times and backgrounds,
yet with the same message~that
there must be a stopping point-God
cannot be compromised.

Society needs absolutes by which
to live. Man cannot find these ab-
solutes within himself and today's
religion has so compromised God
that the absolutes of true Yahwism
have almost been lost.

This leaves humanistic man
setting his values according to his
own needs and basing his society
upon those needs whichchange from
day to day.

film review

’Alley’a Bfilm
(as in bomb)

IMMNA'I‘IUN ALLEY
(Nortlipark at Southpark
l'iiieinasi

Back in the good old days.
there was an institution of
motion picture production
called the It movie. It was
used as the first movieon a
double liill,the lead-in for the
main attraction, It was
produced on a low budget,
tested the latest new actors.
and served as the film version
of what is called in the print
media “filler."

B movies were never really
intended to stand by them-
selves, and never did until the
dawn of the TV late show.
However. as budgets got tight
for movie theatres. the B
movie as a lead-in became a
thing of the past. Un-
fortunately. B movies didn’t
tollow suit.

Nobody with a modicum of
sense could consider Dam-
iiatioii .\lley anything but a 8
movie, It's short around 80
minutes quickly produced
and relies heavily on a
gimmick to sell it. The
gimmick is “Sound 360." a
l'ivespeaker quadraphonic
sound system used to make
the various sound effects.

mostly explosions andsuch.
sound good.

That. and a few of the
special effects. are the most
noteworthy aspects of the
lilm. Jan-Michael Vincent
(reigning king of the B
movies), (leorge l’eppard,
Paul \V infield and Dominique
Sanda hold the major roles in
this latest variation on the
day -a l'terthe-holocaust
theme, in which the world is
decimated and thrown right
off its axis by nuclear
missiles.

The characters are
predictably one-dimensional.
and the action consists of an
uninterrupted string of perils
leading to a grand finale in
which everything turns out
happily out ever after, for no
good reason.

Some of the effects. such as
a group of armored killer
cockroaches and a sky that
changes colors regularly, are
pretty good Others, including
giant scorpions, are perfectly
abysmal.

There have been a number
of .\ movies this season that
iieren't north their asking
price. Most l5 movies aren‘t
either. This one doesn't even
come close.
