Housewives
returning to

college are

new heroes

Dy JAMIE LUCKE
Assistant Managing Editor
If anyone qualifies as a culture hero in
the 1970‘s it's probably the woman who.
after many years of housewifery or work,
returns to school.
At least 1,600 such women are now

enrolled at UK and the Lexington
'l‘échnical Institute. The UK Office of

Continuing Education for Women acts as a
Iiason between these women and the
t‘niversity according to director Sharon
Childs.

'l‘he University-funded office grew out of
a 1965 workshop held at U K for 350 women.
'l‘hedirector‘s position became full-time in
1972 and. according to Childs. enrollment
figures have followed national trends.
There was a distinct increase in the
number of older women who enrolled at
UK in the late 60's and early 70’s, she said.

said the committee has not had time to

Morgan said.

According to Rep. Bob Benson tD-

l.'K football coach Fran Curci and
basketball coach Joe Hall have visited

to the resolution. ”If there is opposition

"passage is unlikely."

Several persons have questioned the
propriety of legislative interference in
scheduling athletic events.

Morgan said. “I do not think the
legislature should dictate such things as
curriculum for schools. salaries for college
officials and especially scheduling of
games."

and information, Childs said. “We’re the
startirg point for women coming back to

school."
Women, who are 25 years or older and

UK students. receive a monthly newsletter
from the of free. The letter informs them of
programs and events they might find
interesting But just as important, “it‘s a
means of letting them know other older
people are on campus-— it gives them a
sense of belonging.“ Childs said.

According to Louise Dutt, UK Coun-

seling and Testing Center staff member.
women returning to campus often lack
confidence in their ability to compete with
studaits fresh out of high school. Dutt
tells them not to be afraid since test scores
show a decline in basic academic skills
among high school students.

Childs agrees women are often ap-
prehensive about returning. “The women
are highly motivated,” she said. "It takes
a lot of courage to come back. But they

Rep. Jim LeMaster tD-Lexington), a
former UK badretball player, said it is not
the legislature‘s duty to determine athletic
scheduling for state institutions.

“As a legislator, I’m against it (the
resolution). As an ex-athlete and fan, I
might be for it.“ LeMaster said. “UK has
nothing to gain and everything to lose. U
of L has a fine team and a fine basketball
system. but why should we (UK) pick up U
of L and have to split the gate with them
when we could invite a team in here for a
flat fee of $15,000 or $20,000?

Last week the office sponsored a run-
chtime get-together in the Alumni Gym
basement. While they appeared a bit
dubious about being “culture heroes,"
five women who came back to school
talked about their experiences.

Dress in jeans, a faded blue bandana on
her tread, Beth Yunker said she came back
after her son decided not to major in
urban studies Currently pursuing a
topical major in urban life studies, she
said, “I wanted one urban expert in the

family."

Apparently her peers accept her return
to school in fact. she said she knows many
capable women who would like to come
back. but they‘re concerned they might not
be able to make it.

sidered by the legislature.

“I think a great majority of the citizens
of the commonwealth want to see this type
of basketball game take place. We need to
get the big statewide basketball tradition
back." Benson said.

The Louisville Democrat said UK and U
of L could both benefit from the revenue
and recruiting possibilities a basketball
game would offer. “With greater exposure
in Jefferson County, UK could recruit
some if the outstanding Louisville high
school playes.“

r_Special election
needs challenging ‘

The special election board that
conducted the election of a new
education student senator earlier
this week couldn’t have conducted
a hoakier election if it tried.

The election, held Monday and
Tuesday, was conducted to fill
purged senator Melvin Baskin’s
seat.

The board decided to set polling
hours between 10 am. and 2 p.m.,
effectively keeping 40 per cent of
the senior class from voting.

That 40 per cent is student
teaching this semester and doesn’t
get out of school until 3 p.m. That
the board and its chairman, Steven
Vice, could fail to makeallowances
for such an enormous time conflict
is no accident.

Vice said the problems of student
teachers were considered, but the
board decided "they (student
teachers) would probably not be
teaching straight through the
voting hours on both days.”

The board may not know much
about the College of Education, but
there certainly must be one
member who had a student teacher
in high school. All student teachers
follow school schedules.

At least one of the candidates for

the senate seat—senior Patty

Courtney—didn’t get the op-
portunity to vote for herself
because of the time conflict.

Vice was asked to extend the
hours by at least one student. He
said he talked with 56 President
Jim Harralson and then discussed
the matter with several election
board members. ”We felt we would
be opening ourselves to a challenge
it we extended the hours,“ so the
polls were closed at 2 p.m., he said.

Sophomore Robert Stuber won
the election, with nine votes.
Courtney got seven votes and the
other candidate, sophomore Tom
Clark, got three votes.

Although Vice said he isn’t
acquainted with any of the can-
didates, he and Stuber live on the
same floor in Kirwan Tower.

in the interest of fairness Student
Government President Jim
Harralson should convince one of
the candidates to challenge the
election. Only a candidate can
challenge an election and a
challenge must be filed within five
working days of the election.

Presidential hoepfuls lack qualifications

 

By Mark Manning

 

The most recent issue of Common
Sense, a newspaper put out by the
People’s Bicentennial Commission,
contained several ads on the
presidential election. My favorite
had pictures of the twelve aspiring
candidates of the Democratic and
Republican parties. It was headlined,
"After 200 years, is this the best we can
do?”

Lots of people are thinking the same
thing. Political commentators, articles
in Time and Newsweek. and the big
daily newspapers echo this theme:
”Why don’t really good people run for
office anymore?” "Where has all the
charisma gone?” ”Where is the can-
didate?"

Of course, the main concern of these
commentators is finding a candidate
who can whip up a little enthusiasm for
a system that cuts wages, thrives on
unemployment and inflation, and
perpetuates racism and sexism.

It’s not that the available candidates
in l976 are any less honest or intelligent
than their predecessors. but they are
confronted with a more skeptical
audience, fresh from Watergate and
economic crisis.

in this unhappy situation, the ruling
rich have to sell a candidate to the
American people. And the 1976
primaries, which start this month, are
giving them the chance to polish up
their tarnished image.

”Look,” they say, ”we have Carter,

1976 candidates are faced with
an audience that still remembers
Watergate, economic crisis

Reagan, Humphrey, Shriver, Ford and
Harris.”

A peanut farmer, movie star,
druggist, Kennedy-in-law, football
player and sharecropper’s son.

Look how different they are. See how
they disagree. Surely out of such a
choice. you can find one that represents
your interests. Perfecting this slick con
game, has been one of the greatest
achievements of Uncle Sam in his 200
years.

In spite of their apparent differences,
these candidates—Democrat and
Republican alike—are all drinking
from the same trough.

These candidates all share a common
interest and understanding that profits
for the ruling rich must be guaranteed
over and above jobs, education and
other social services. This common
goal stands above any differences they
may have on how to accomplish this
fundamental task.

On campus, the Democrats and
Republicans—whose parties have
presided over tuition hikes and cut.
backs (Carroll wants to lop 40 per cent
from the University budget next year)
and blocked desegregation of the
schools-—will now try to convince
students that the. way to solve these

problems is to get involved in the
"grass roots” of these same two par-
ties. They will try to convince students
to work for the same two parties who
are responsible for the cutback that
students have been fighting against.
The Democrats will try to convince
students that there will be less cuts
under them than under the
Republicans.

New York City gives an idea of what
our “friends" the Democrats will do.
The New York Times laid it all out in a
recent article: "Decades of
Democratic action and oratory were
cast aside in a matter of weeks as
Mayor Beame dismissed thousands of
city workers, imposed a wage freeze,
demanded a blanket cut in the
heretofore sacrosanct City University
budget..."

After 200 years, this is the best that
they have to offer. Despite all their talk
about "being for the little guy,” every
single Democratic and Republican
candidate supports the ”profits first"
system of capitalism.

Butwe, the youth and working people
of America, have something very
different to offer. We say to the two
party politicians. "For 200 years Our

votes and our sweat have kept you
afloat. You have had y0ur chance and
you blew it.”

Two hundred years after the
American revolution women are still
denied legalequality and public schools
arestiilsegregated. Education andour
standard of living are under severe
attack.

This is what the Democrats and
Republicans stand for. And to pull the
lever .for these candidates or to support
their campaigns in any way is casting a
vote for the wretched system they
uphold.

The Socialist Workers campaign of
Peter Cameio for president and Willie
Mae Reid for vice president calls on
students to break from supporting the
Democrats and Republicans.

The Socialist Workers campaign calls
for and participates in united actions to
fight against the cutbacks to education,
racist attacks, and attacks on people’s
homes, iobs, and democratic rights and
to fightfor the ratification of the Equal
Rights Amendment.

Socialist Workers presidential
candidate Cameio, who has spent
much of his life on the front line of such
struggles, will be here at the University
of Kentucky on March ;. He will be
speaking in the Student Center Theater
at7 p.m. Everyone should cometo hear
him, and get involved in the Socialist
Workers campaign.

Good news

Ecfitor:

It's comforting to the heart to see that
the Kernel has decided to publish
”Good news“ (Kernel, Feb. 20, page 6).
Though the page was obviously com-
posed of advertisements for religious
organizations, the "Good news" label
was erron ious in that there was no news
contained on the page.

if this is to be a regular feature of the
Kernel, however, think of the
possibilities for "Good news:“

—Jesus. son of Christ, will offer Free
University course in basic Bible
reading and the Ten Commandments as
a new an form.

—A copyrighted expose on ”Jesus is
alive, and enrolled in the College of Arts
and Sciences" would improve the
Kernel’s prestige in the anals of ur-
nilism (sic).

«Jesus freaks oppose destruction of
churches to make room for con-
struction of parking lot for "Relevant
Center," would not only be heavy,
relevant and inspiring, but would also
be "just groovy.”

-—Abortion for Jesus Jr. overtuned by
SupremeCourt because it occurred in
the third trimester of pregnancy.

Ah, yes. As you can see, the ”Good
news" is soothing to the soul.

Lone Star state bans bees;

quarters anti-ERA group

For many months now, citizens of the
United States have been cringing
helplessly in fear at the northward
migration of the Brazilian killer bees.
But so far the US. Department of
Agriculture has been unsuccessful in
devising a genetic or climatological
plan to stop the winged creatures from
swarming across Central America and
into this country . . . killing priests,
livestock and virgins of the white race
as they come.

 

Well, fear no more. According to the
magazine Texas Monthly, the Lone Star
state senate has passed a law making it
illegal for those nasty little creatures to
cross the Rio Grande.

That simple solution, incidentally;

earned one of the magazine's annual
'Bum Steer’ awards. But I’m not so
sure the new law is really up to snuff.
After all, it was the Texas House of
Representatives that passed a
resolution in 1971 praising the Boston
Strangler for his efforts in population
control.

As long as I’m presenting good news
from the land of the Lone Ranger and
the long horn steer, I might as well
mention the flyer I picked up third-hand
from an anti-Equal Rights Amendment
(ERA) group based in Fort Worth.
The handout is printed in baby-blue ink

on a single sheet of pink paper, and it
was prepared by the W.W.W.W. (that’s
Women Who Want to be Women, of
course).

At the top of the page are l940-ish
sketches of two women holding
telephonesto their faces; and, between
them, the headline: LADlES! HAVE
YOU HEARD? The rest of the sheet is
filled with arguments against the
amendment, beginning with the
reminder to women everywhere that
"God created you and gave you a
beautiful and exalted place to fill.”

The W.W.W.W. goes on to label the
ERA as a "Loss of Rights Amend-
ment.” Among the ”rights” which
American women stand to lose, says
W.W.W.W., are the "right not to be
drafted" and the ”right not to work.”

Did you know that by the time the
average American child is 16 years old
he or she has watched 15,000 hours of
television? That’s 4,000 more hours
than he or she has spent in school.

The National Enquirer has reported
that President John F. Kennedy
smoked marijuana in a White House
bedroom while entertaining one of his
lady friends there.

The Enquirer quotes James Truitt,
former vice president of the
Washington Post, as saying that the
incident occurred on the night of July
to, 1962. The lady involved was iden-
tified as Mary Meyer, whose sister used
to be married to Kennedy confidant and
Washington Post executive editor,
Benjamin Bradlee.

According to Truitt’s aCCUUfIT, the
presidential pot party was Mary's mm
and between the two at them. sh. and

Kennedy polished off two joints before
getting the munchies and ordering up
some chocolate mousse. Then they did
three more.

Mary Meyer, unfortunately, is not
around to confirm or deny Truitt's
story. She was shot to death on a
sidewalk near her house on Oct. 12,
1964.

An average of 9,000 children are sent
to hospital emergency rooms every
year as a result of shopping cart ac-
cidents, according to a survey con-
ducted by the National Electronic
Injury Surveillance System.

Spring will soon be upon us, and when
it arrives we can look forward once
again to the annual aerial shenanigans
of veteran Frisbee tanciers. But those
of you who may be taking it up for the
first time this year should be aware
thatthe sport has a certain tradition of
dedication and courage—which must be
upheld at all costs.

Perhaps the best example of the
Frisbee tradition has been related by
Dr. Roger Woods, director of the In-
stitute of Frisbee Medicine in Santa
Monica, Calif.

According to Dr. Woods, a Sherpa
guide fell over a 9,000-foot precipice in
Nepal while trying to field a Frisbee
thrown in his direction.

The young man reportedly caught the
elusive disc 8,700 feet later. . . im-
mediately before he disappeared into a
snowdrift.

Nice catch.

 Hours of practice make Belles'
basketball halftime show

By Kl-IITII SHANNON
Kennel Staff II riter

“OK girls. let's get started!"

The sound of music filled
Alumni Gym. Ten women
skipped out to the center of the
floor and began a dance routine.

A few seconds later the whole
routine had fallen apart com-
pletely. amid shouts of “What are
we doing?" and "\lhat‘s next?"

Carol Garcia. Bluegrass Belles
director. later explained the
confusion. "This is the first time
we've really rehearsed it." she
said. "It‘s an entirely new
routine."
- Garcia organized the Belles
two years ago. Since then. the

group has performed its dance'

routines during halftime at UK
football and basketball games.

The group was formed because
Garcia enjoys dancing and
because she was active in her
high school drill team.

The Belles however. don't
think of themselves as a drill
team. “We do nothing of that
sort." Garcia said. “We do
mostly free style. jazz types of
things.“

The groups works without any
substantial University financial
support. Garcia and another
group member. Vicki Lucas,
devise all the routines and the
women involved provide all the

fums.

The Belles either make their
own costumes or have them
made. “I guess altogether we've
spent about 81.000 this year.“
Garcia said.

Props can also be a problem.
“\\e.\'e used canes. hats. stools
and two-toned gloves and pad-
dles." Garcia said. Stools. at $5
apiece. are about our most ex-
pensive props. she said.

Garcia said trying to get
lunch from the l'niversity is like
"pulling teeth." t'niversity of-
ficials like the group. but say
there is no money to spare for it.
she said.

Although she appreciates the
officials‘ support. Garcia said she
wishes the school would provide
funds. “They didn‘t build that
new stadium for people to sit
around and look at each other in
during halftime.” she said.

The Belles spend nine or ten
hours a week rehearsing for
shows. They plan to hold
auditions for next year‘s group in
late March or early April.

Garcia said the only
requirement for a prospective
Belle is a 2.0 grade point
average.

The Belles will perform during
halftime at the UK-Mississippi
State game. March 8.

children." Yunker said.

Did the women‘s movement
influence their decision to return
to school?

Marty Ely, a tall. slender social
work major who looked elegant
even while eating lunch from a
brown paper bag, was en-
thusiastic about the women’s
movement.

"I‘m grateful to the women's
movement.“ Ely said. ”In 1951.
when I was in college. women had
to get married. You set up
housekeeping with a white picket
fence. had children—the whole
bit. [swallowed that stuff hook,
line and sinker. The bra burring
was silly. but I think it was great.

l know it‘s given me some
courage.

“I think it‘s perfectly natural
for me toi'be at UK now." Ely
said. She said she thinks of the
continuing education office as an
“auxilliary—not a necessity" for
women: - --

Although schoo is “more
stimulating than housework" Ely
is not here solely for intellectual
gratification. “I’d love to have
someone payme for doing a job.“
she said.

At the opposite end of the sofa.
Edwina Maddox. a nutrition
graduate student, agreed
economics was an important
facto influencing her return to
school. “I want to be a registered

dietician.“ she said. ”I‘m looking
to the future.“

But her opinion differed from
I'lly‘s on the women's movement.
“There are some things I like a
man to do like open doors." she
said. “And there are some
things I think a man can do
better like balancing the check
book."

Eve Morton. a student in the
Donovan program for persons
over 65. is enrolled in a physical
education conditioning course.
“It's good for my arthritis." she
said. A retired seed analyst in
the Hi agriculture program,
Morton took freshman Englisl
and the same conditioning coursi
last semester.
