'Communify

colleges are

misunderstood'

By MINDY FET’I‘ERMAN
Kernel Staff Writer

With an additional 5,000 fans expected to
attend Saturday's UK—Alabama game,
plans are being made to help ease the ever
present traffic problem.

Pictures taken from helicopters of the
most troublesome areas are being studied
to help find solutions to some of the traffic
congestion, said Russell Rice, UK sports
information director.

PARKING AND pedestrians also
complicated the problem, Rice said. Many
fans arriving late for the Virginia Tech
game decided to park in the grass outside
the parking lot tying up the traffic after the
game.

“Much of the traffic couldn‘t move
because of the steady stream of
pedestrians," he added. This is one
problem which will undoubtedly grow due
to the attendance increase.

The gates of Commonwealth Stadium
will open at 11:30 Saturday morning, one
half hour earlier than the previous week.
Hopefully this will alleviate some of the
crowd congestion.

IT IS BEGINNING to look as though the
opening game crowd of over 48,000 will be
the smallest crowd of the season, said
Rice. “It (the size of the crowd) may have
been helped if Virginia had won their
previous game."

A series of programs informing the
Board of Trustees about different aspects
of the University was initiated by
President Otis A. Singletary at their Sept.
18 meeting.

The first program was presented by Dr.
Stanley Wall. vice-president of the
Community College System. who
discussed the purposes, projects and
problems of community colleges in

Kentucky.

“Many students are unaware of op-
portunities provided by community
colleges.“ said Wall. There is a misun-
derstanding that community colleges
duplicate courses available at vocational
schools. Wall clarified this by comparing
nursmg degrees at each institution.

If a nursing student graduates from a
community college and passes the State
Test, she becomes a Registered Nurse,
whereas a vocational graduate must take
the Practical Nursing Test. Different skills
are taught resulting in different certificate
programs.

COMMUNITY COLLEGES work not
only with UK and vocational schools in

No open seats (as shown above) are expected when UK meets Alabama
Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium. (Kernel staff photo by Dick Clark.)

UK students used far less than the 11,708
tickets allotted them for the opener. Rice
said. but there are no seats left for the
Alabama game.

To make up for the extra seats available
for the VPI game. 100 tickets were given to
each of the area high schools and 800

their areas. but also with the community.
Somerset Hospital cooperates with their
community college in providing hospital
equipment and tacnlities for allied health
programs.

New Gate is a special school set up for
prisoners by the Ashland Community
College and Eagle University at Fort
Campbell provides education for enlisted
men.

“Community colleges must continue to
seek out and serve non-traditional type
students." said wall.

.\I.TII()l'GII TIII-ZY have grown con-
siderably in recent years. Wall expressed
the need for community colleges to
become more comprehensive in meeting
the needs of community people and to
broaden occupational opportunities.

THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE System
consists of 13 colleges across Kentucky
which provide college preparatory
programs, associate degrees and con-
tinuing education for adults. Degrees are
offered in four basic divisions—biology,
physical sciences, social sciences and arts
and humanities

Tie up loose ends

Student Government President Jim Flegle can be praised
for revising his budget this early in the year. rather than
letting it become a derangement of records as the previous
SG administration.

However. a story in Wendesday‘s Kernel (Revised budget
sent to Senate. page 1) superficially mentioned several areas
of SG financing in past years which disturb us. Though Flegle
and Ben Jones. SG finance director. have committed
themselves to better recording of business transactions. the
loose ends and unanswered questions of past SG financing
should be tied up before they‘re forgotten. ’

For instance. what does Flegle mean when he says the first
budget for this year was too "fouled up" to WOI‘K with? In
what ways was it fouled up and who prepared it‘

What type of sketchy records did Scott Wendelsdorf, the
previous SG president. leave Flegle to work with? Flegle said
in the story. “The problem with the ‘150 account' (an account
made up of money obtained from sources other than state
allocationS) is that Scott didn‘t keep good records.“ We
question whether or not Wendelsdorf kept any records at all.
According to Flegle and Jones. the Wendelsdorf ad-
ministration dumped a number of bills into the ‘150 account‘,
unaware that the account didn‘t have sufficient funds to
cover them. Simple bookkeeping would have let them know
when the money ran out.

And. if the University was acting as bookkeeper and
banker for the ‘150 account‘, as the story said, why didn‘t
staffers in the Dean of Students office catch the error? A
member of this office is required to sign a voucher for
deposits and withdrawls.

Another mysterious point. Why did the University have to
pick up a tab for unpaid bills left from the past ad-
ministration? Earlier this year Flegle said he was given
$600 from the Student Senate for a contingency fund to use at
his discretion. Wouldn’t it have been wiser for Flegle to
request $650 from the Senate to pay off the bad debts im-
mediately‘.’

The story also said SG wasn’t able to finance its ‘150 ac-
count' this year by selling lists of students names to in-
surance companies because of “legal technicalities.” If it’s
illegal this year chances are it’s been illegal in past years
also. Wendelsdorf’s administration made nearly $5,000 from
this operation; why did it go unchecked for so long?

Jones said SG may have to sponsor fund-raising activities
to put money into the ‘150 account’. But first, all records from
past administrations should be straightened out.

The simplest and most effective way to do this is through a
published audit which would be open to the public. Certainly
there is enough student and taxpayer interest to demand this
action.

If SG refuses to cooperate. the University should exert its
authority and demand the records. There are too many loose
ends and unanswered questions for the issue to be ignored

any longer.

Who doesn't

If it is not too much to ask. I would like to
see some proof that the twenty fraternities
at UK practice some form of racial
discrimination policy as stated by Mr.
Wassmer of Sigma Pi colony in his letter of

fraternity in Mr. Wassmer‘s opinion. does
not discriminate. Could it be Sigma Pi by

Riggs-King vs. Straub

I feel I must respond to Mr. Straub on the
Riggs vs. King article appearing in the
September 19 issue of the Kernel. Mr.
Straub. Mr. Riggs. and a great number of
other people have completely missed the
point of Ms. King's arguments regarding
men's and women‘s tennis. I do not believe
it was ever a question of the women
wanting to play against the men. The
principle involved was that the men were
receiving. as an example, $25,000 while
women were receiving $600 for a match in
the same tournament. No one is going to
argue that Dawn Fraser swims the 100-
meter free style seven seconds slower
than Mark Spitz. Speed and endurance are
irrelevant to Ms. King‘s desire to equal the
monetary aspects of the game.

As far as I am concerned. Ms. King has
already won the match with Mr. Riggs. If
he pitted his poise and intellect against
her. he would he “beat to death“ in a few
seconds. Howard (‘osell remarked at half
time on Monday Night Football this last
week. “I wish Billie Jean had said more."
The response to Mr. Cossell by Don
Meredith or Frank Gifford, I do not
remember which. was “Some people know
when to keep their mouth shut.“ He also

I

said he “hopes she beats the pants off of
him.“ This may be hard to do since Mr.
Riggs seems to enjoy wearing skirts and
bonnets on the courts.

No Mr. Straub. Mr. Riggs is not the
”Man of the Hour." but he is my nominee
for “Little Boy of the Year." As indicated
by your article. you are running a close
second.

Panhellenic governs rush, not opinion

By LYNSEY SNOW
and
LAURA NIELSEN

The involvement of the Panhellenic
office has been brought up repeatedly in
the issue concerning Vicky Heston. In her
original article of September 12, Vicky
quoted Lynsey Snow, Panhellenic
President, as saying “the office made a
mistake and was sorry.” Lynsey did not
make this statement, as the Panhellenic
office did not “make a mistake.” She
explained this to Steve Swift, Kernel
Editor, in a phone conversation held
Thursday, September 13, the night before
the article was published. What was
printed in the rebuttal, “Greek officials,
members, deny allegations,” was a
misinterpretation. in was a two sentence
summary of a 10 minute conversation and
was incorrect, leaving the reader with the
impression that Vicky was only one of
several mistakes

Previously we have not submitted an
article, as we felt the technicality of who
“made a mistake” was of little importance
in connection with the charges of Vicky’s
letter. But yesterday, September 19, in the
article “Rush investigations continue,”
the charge against the Panhellenic office
was repeated. It stated the above quote
and added that the “third round in-

vitation was not delivered (by the
Panhellenic office) because she is black,
making her undesirable as sorority
material.” With this kind of commentary
in print, we feel an explanation necessary.

WE ARE NOT writing to comment on
the feelings of discrimination involved
with Vicky Heston's accusations. We
cannot argue with this being a major
reason for Vicky’s being cut from sorority
rush. The Panhellenic office, although a
governing body, does not govern opinion;
every sorority and member is ultimately
responsible for their opinions. Hopefully,
the very fact that this has been brought up
will influence future opinions. However,
for the purpose of clarifying a misin-
terpretation, we would like to explain the
technicalities of rush.

The mention of “computer cards” may
seem cold and impersonal. It is. But for the
sake of expediency, it is the way to handle
the 500 girls who went through “rush.”
Laura Nielsen, Panhellenic Rush Chair-
man, and Lynsey Snow, Panhellenic
President, recieve from each sorority two
rubber—banded groups of computer cards
“invites” and “no-invites.” From . the
Panhellenic office these computer cards
are taken directly to the computer center
where they are unbanded, sent through a

UK basketball team isn't

computer, and sorted into rush groups, or
resident halls. These are given to rush
counselors, who in turn give them to the
rushees.

It was at this point, after the second
round of parties, that Vicky and several
others did not get invited back to any
sororities. They did not receive invitations
because there had been no invitations for
them in the sororities’ rubber-banded
“invite” piles. This is what Lynsey Snow
was referring to when the Kernel
misquoted her as saying they were “left
off.” There were no errors concerning
Vicky or anyone else, as far as the actual
computer exchanges. The error Vicky
refers to had to be a manual error which
happened before the cards ever reached
the Panhellenic office.

AT THE SAME time as the use of
computer cards shows the “impersonal”
aspect of the Panhellenic office, it is the
office’s major defense. We never see any
individual cards.

Thus, the quote attributed to Lynsey
Snow is inaccurate. This is not to say that
Vicky purposefully reported it so. Rather,
it was a misunderstanding of the
technicality of the computer exchanges
which we explained to her. Lynsey and
Laura did repeatedly apologize for the

”mistake," and from this Vicky got the
impression that the Panhellenic office was
admitting to making a mistake. When
Vicky first came to us with her story, we
were busy distributing the final bids to the
rush counselors, but, nevertheless, took
time to discuss the problem with her. We
did not brush her off with a simple “we
made a mistake, I‘m sorry.“

We are honestly sorry that Vicky was
unable to pledge a sorority during Fall
Rush at the University of Kentucky and
hope that her report of this incident will be
used to open minds, not only in sorority
systems, but throughout UK. For as Vicky
says: “We cannot waste time looking into
Pandora’s Box for answers, for the answer
lies within each of us. We can find the
answer by an all-campus effort to open our
hearts and minds with sincerity, deter-
mination and a genuine interest in every
student. no matter what color, creed or
religion."

 

Lynsey Snow is Panhellenic
president and a senior English
major. Laura Nielsen is
Panhellenic Rush chairman and
a senior journalism major.

an all-white unit anymore

By REGGIE WARFORD

It’s that time of year again. It’s time for the
Kernel staff and UK students to bring out the
typewriters and pens and begin to print all the
eyecatching propaganda about the UK
athletic department. Well, maybe this is a
little harsh to the staff and students, and
maybe some of the propaganda about the
athletic department is true, but that doesn’t
concern me directly.

What I am concerned about is the recent
article of Bill Straub (ya can’t win ‘en all,
Sept. 13) where he mentions the UK
basketball team. This is not meant personally
for Mr. Straub, for I would much rather have
it take effect of the whole Kernel staff.

TIIIS ARTICLE IS concerned about the
Kernel's continuous insistence that UK has an
all-white basketball team. I would like to
assure the Kernel and the rest of the campus
that UK doesn’t have an all-white basketball
team. We haven't for over a year now. There
are three blacks on the University team. They
are freshmen Merion Haskins, a talented
6'412" leaping forward from Taylor County
High; Larry Johnson, a 6’3" ball-handling
and defensive specialist from Union County
High and myself, Reggie Warford. I’m a

sophomore.
This article may be somewhat damning to

our campus paper, but I have come to the
conclusion that for the sake of black athletes
everywhere that it is necessary. Until the
campus newspaper starts recognizing the
black basketball players that are already
here, there is little hope of getting other black
athletes to come to a campus and be refused
recognition, and this is something that cannot
be blamed completely on the coaching staff,
athletic department, or the “bigoted southern
gentlemen" who run the University.

IN PART. TIIIC campus paper should also
take a portion of blame. Last year, as a fresh-
man and a member of the basketball team I
felt left off of the team altogether. Numerous
times UK was described by the campus paper
and at times by some players as being all-
white. (Last year‘s motto——a good white team

 

  

will beat a good black team anytime). This
was terribly depressing because if UK was
all-white, and I am black and on a full-ride
scholarship (just as the white players) it
meant that I wasn’t looked upon as part of
the team. Black athletes in high school are not
giving themselves or their ability to a
program like that. None of them would want
to come to an athletic program and be
bleached white to fit the convenience of a
campus newspaper or team motto.

For my ownself I’ve begun to feel that the
University and the campus paper and
students are looking for a super-black.
Somebody to come in and assure UK of an
NCAA championship someone to be the star
and saviour for the school, but that is not how
it‘s going to be.

You want to know what it’s going to take to
get more players the quality of Johnson and
Haskins? (They are destined to be out-
standing, I believe.) A combined effort from
the coaches and campus paper. (I feel that
the students do a great job.) Treat the black
athletes like maybe a Kent Benson. Make
them feel like they will get the recognition on
campus that they deserve. All players
regardless of race like recognition. I have
more than likely made many errors in writing
this article, but I do it for the two incoming
blacks who will definitely make a con—
tribution to the team.

II" \'()I.' (the Kernel) are sincere in your
wish for the University to recruit blacks,
discontinue your use of the ugly phrase. “all-
white team" when referring to the basketball
team. it hasn't been true for over a year now.
Either do something positive. like aiding in
recruiting. or don't do it at all. You can‘t
shame this institution into the recruiting of
blacks. The sooner the Kernel can recognize

its part in recruiting. the better the chance we
(UK) have of getting the unbleached

ballplayers.

NOW CONGRESS HAS acted with
a unanimity and speed of purpose
that puts the lie to those who say it is

timorous. Why. brawls broke out on
the floor of the Senate as to who
would get to vote for this law first.

“I think the Gulf of Tonkin

passed the Congress this fast." Rep.

braced each other in tearful
recognition that a great wrong was
being righted.

may well have said. “an idea whose
time has come.“

PRESIDENT NIXON. upon
having the bill rushed to him for
signing. may also have declared
that. “This is an idea whose time has
come.“

The Chief Executive. so it‘s said.
went onto declare that not since the
Sherman Anti-Trust Act had big
business been so sharply warned to
curb its monopolistic practices by
the government. He added that he
was confident that independent
gasoline station owners and fuel oil
distributors would take the
significance of this legislation to

major oil companies whos eposition

Reaction to the swift passage of

universally favorable. with only a
few mumbles from Lacrosse par-

statement saying that home-game

office of Commissioner of the

maintains he doesn't have to turn
over home—game TV to the fans. and
that to do so would be a breach of the
principle of confidentiality between
the league‘s 26 teams and their
season ticket holders.

Rozelle. however. is but the
