Last year’s High Hope raised

to point up the immense cost of
putting on such an event, and the
amount (1 planning required. Over
six months of planning and
preparation have gme into the 1977
High Hope.

The High Hope, which is sanc-
tioned by the National Hunt and
Steeplechase Association,
originated in 1967 and was held for
seven years on the High Hope Farm,
near Versailles, Ky. That farm was
owned by the late Douglas M. Davis,

well as from Kentucky. This year 50

The feature event of the afternoon
will be the $5,000 Hamburg
Steeplechase, a two-and-a-half mile
race over 15 brush jumps. The race
traditionally draws a field of six to
eight horses. Sunday’s Hamburg
will feature a nine-horse field. The
heavy favrrite is last year’s winner,
George Strawbridge’s Celtic Song

The Shawnee Steeplechase will
take place just before the feature. It
is a $2,000 race over 12 birch brush

split into two divisions this year to
accommodate the unusually large

which holds nrore than 300 boxes for
those willing to shell out the $50
admission price.

For box-holders, the day will begin
with an elegant buffet luncheon on
the grounrh. .The park will open
early, and others are encouraged to
bring picnic lunches and take ad-
vantage of the spacious infield.

In addition. a special area has
been set aside on the grounrh for
tailgaters and campers. Preferred

parking is available for tailgaters, ‘

October of 1978, and will feature

a shark without jaws

By DICK GABRIEL
Assistant Managing Editor

Questions...

ls “Otis A. Singletary" his real name, or is he an aluminum siding
salesman, hiding out from the law?

Why did God rest on Sunday instead of, say, Thursday? (That way,
he would’ve had a long weekend — more time for golf.)

Who was the first person to say “Oh no—I’ve lost my pickles?”

AND WHY AREN‘T THERE ANY WHITE CASTLES IN
LEXINGTON? .

Pondering the question since I first happened upon this town (it has
to be a “town“ — if it had a White Castle, it would be a “city") drove
me to thetypewriterand the telephone. I had to know.

After all. a city without White Castles is like a shark without jaws;
watermelon without the rine; a muskrat without the musk. Isn’t it?

A call to the main Louisville office proved fruitful. A man in
promotions haltingly informed me that the home office is in Columbus,
()hio. He supplied a name and phone number.

Jackpot!

Advertising exec Gail Turley’s information explained exactly why
Lexington degenerates can’t chew those tiny burgers at odd hours of
the morning, since Louisville degenerates are afforded that same
luxury.

The best explanation can be found in the history of the chain. The
first Castle was built in Wichita, Kan., in 1921. Billy lngram borrowed
$700 to bufld it and paid back the loan in 90 days. Ever since, Castles
have been paid for before they've been built.

“He who owes no money cannot go broke," Billy reasoned.

White Castles are not franchised. “All units are company-owned and
company-operated," Turley said.

Therefore. considerable capital must be gathered before a new store

“Holes. Holes! These burgers
got holes!"

Anybody foolish enough to lift
the bun off a White Castle ham-
burger (never question fate)
might react the same way. Why
do these things have holes in
them?

“It’s not to save meat," says
Gail Turley, dispelling a popular
myth. Turley, who works in the
White Casde horns office in
Columbus, Ohio, explaared the
entire operation.

A White Castle hamburger is
probably the most misunderstood
item since the IRS short form.

 

state

State Audtor George Atkhs said yaterday his
elected rde “was not to be a lapdog tothe ad-
ministration, but rather the watchdog of the
public.” But Gov. Julan Carroll said Wednesday
Atkirl is misusing hi office through “political
nudes." Carrollsaidlreis sorry bemuged
Atkkrs to run for an“ in ms. He quoted Atkins
any" drctly beforehegotarthettcket that “1

lilies.”

Burgers as misunderstood
as an IRS short form

“Welook upon it as a modular
hamburger,” Turley said, as
though he were talking about a
member of his family.

“We like to keep it small,
something the children can
handle, in both size and price. If
the adults want more, let them
buy two or three more.”

Which explains why the novice
White Castle diner draws funny
looks when he orders “a ham-
burger arrd a coke.” His look is
even funnier when he sees his tiny
dinner.

The burgers are square
because “griddles are rec-
tangular," says Turley. “If you
put circular burgers on the

is constructed. And a new outlet must be assured of brisk business,
particularly in virgin territory.

i The status of that “territory" is perhaps the most important con-

sideration. “It pretty much has to have a large population base,” said
Turley. That‘s why the 143 existing stores are located in metropolitan
areas like Cincinnati. Chicago, Detroit, New York, Indianapolis,
Minneapolis—St. Paul, Columbus and St. Louis, as well as Louisville.

Open 24 hours a day. 364 days a year (Christmas is the only ex-
ception). each restaurant must be practically guaranteed a steady
business flow around the clock, not just during usual eating hours.

And now, the obvious question: so why not build a White Castle near

1 KS campus? Students will surely keep that place jammed, par—

ticuarly during the bloodshot early-morning hours. Big bucks for all
corrcenred! Neat idea, huh?

llut wait. Hamburgers don't come out of the ground (even though
some lX) taste like turnips). They come from warehouses and each
city dotted with Castles has its own. Daily supply runs are made from
each store to its respective warehouse.

At least four or five stores must be built in order to justify con-
struction of a warehouse. The warehouse closest to Lexington is in
Florence, 70 miles away. It serves the northern Kentucky Castles.

Evidently, the burger czars don‘t see Lexington as a dynamite
location for 3 Castle, despite the presence of a college campus. The
rest of the city might not be able to support the other restaurants.

But don‘t despair. Turley said Lexington is being “considered," for
whatever that's worth.

“Weeven ran a few coupon ads (for northern Kentucky stores) to see
whatk ind of response we‘d get," he said. The jury is still out.

So the bittersweet thrill of wolfing down five with cheese and a
chocolate shake at2 am, only to spend the rest of the night wondering
if you‘ll see see it again, is still a possibility. For now, eat pizza.

griddle, you’ll develOp hot spots

This wastes arergy, fouls up your

Ah, the cookirig process.
Conceived by a rank and file
counter-man (who was paid a
substantial bonus for it), and
developed by the president of the
company, the process is an
engineering wonder. And it’s also‘
the reason for those holes.

Highlights. . .

Or, a regurgitation of this yea r’s most nauseating issues

After putting out 143 Kernels, don’t expect us
to be sorry that we’re temporarily out of
business—until June 18 when a new staff takes
over.

Each of those 143 papers included an editorial
in this space. Some of them brought change,
others prompted response from readers and
others produced nothing at all to our knowledge.

One editorial—the first one—resulted in an
overwhelming response. On Aug. 25 we opened
the editorial forum and urged readers to write in
their letters and commentaries. That invitation
was accepted by record numbers—we received
more than 200 comments and some 500 letters to
the editor. '

Over the course of the semester, we printed
editorials that concerned more than 100 different
issues. The following is a rehash of our editorial
year.

We started ou‘ uniting about the inadequate '

local housing :4; Leiion. Indira Gandhi‘s per-
version of repres. waive government and the
dangers of aerosol sprays before a major local
isue was upon us. The Rape Crisis Center—a
valuable service organization—faced fiancial
ruin.

Under pressure, the Urban County Council at
first refused 0 help bail out the RCC but later
contributed to fund-raising efforts. RCC had a
scare but eventually collected the $1,400 needed
to make them eligible for matching federal funds
and insured the center‘s immediate future.

We like to think our three editorials and the
correspondence we received helped to convince
the council and promote support for the RCC.

()ur next major issue had some bite to it,
courtesy of the Metro Police Department and its
attack dogs. A football victory had prompted a
Saturday night celebration on Aylesford Place
and police responded to complaints by sicking
the dogs on the crowd.

We thought the action was uncalled for and
said so in an editorial. The “dog story" was
another event that brought in a lot. of reader
feedback.

incidentally, the police officer who ordered the
dogs out told our reporters that he received 38
complaints the night of the party. After our story
appeared and the police were roundly criticized,
the same officer told the Courier-Journal that he
received “3-8" complaints.

Soon after the dog incident, the Presidential
campaign began to heat up, bringing in its wake
a flood of mail and several Kernel editorials. We
wrote about the debates, the Playboy interview,
Ford’s comments on Eastern Europe, low voter-
participation and the discrimination against
third-party candidate Eugene McCarthy.

A divided editorial board finally voted to en-
dorse Carter which pleased Editorial Editor

Walter Hixson, who won second place in a
regional editorial writing contest for the half-
page endorsement. We explained the division
among the five editorial board members the
same day, which one reader thought constituted

j a “huge apology" for the endorsement.

For the next few weeks, we wrote about some
Student Government (SG) activities, the
proverbial Rose Street crossing problem,
unionization efforts by UK employes, Fran
Curci’s unwarranted blast at the press, the law
school‘s discriminatory proposal to regulate the
outside employment hours of its students and a
three-part series urging control of the nuclear
power industry which angered the UK
Engineering Department.

With the coming of basketball season,
deveIOpments at the new Lexington Center
became editorial material. Students not only
faced the prospect of walking more than a mile
in the middle of winter, but were destined to sit in
Rupp Arena's crows nest.

Similarly, many UK students couldn‘t get
Peach Bowl tickets after the UK administration.
alumni, state officials and scalpers were not
limited in the number of tickets they could buy.
Following our stories and editorials and with the
support of the Dean of Students office, students
received better seats for home basketball games
and more Peach Bowl tickets.

Ah, end of semester one: we wished Otis a
Merry Christmas and even prepared a gift list
for him. asking Santa to alleviate some of the
University‘s financial and image problems.

As everyone should recall, the second
semester convened inside the Arctic Circle, or so
it seemed. The bitter cold and subsequent gas
shortage resulted in three Kernel editorials.
Other early-semester editorials urged support
for marijuana decriminalization, an end to UK’s
conservative housing policies and extension of
local bar hours.

Then an issue that hit close to home—the fate
of student publica tions—~emerged with the death
of the Kentuchian Magazine. We urged continued
funding for student publications and warned
against establishment of an exclusionary, all-
Greek yearbook that was proposed. The
magazine's death brought a bundle of mail from
UK students who were or had been involved in
student publications.

That issue had scarcely been put to rest when
another emerged—the fate of a $27 funding
request to SG for a campus celebration of In-
ternational Women‘s Day. President
McLaughlin and his sidekick Hal Haering killed
the request in a classic display of unfettered
sexism.

This issue was destined to bring more mail
than any other but the flow was interrupted by
the coming of spring break.

Following thatpeacefulweek the next editorial
issue was, again, prompted by our inactive
friends in SC, who sat at home while the
University Senate passed measure shortening
the time a student is allowed to withdraw from a
course.

Only eight of the 25 senators showed for the
meeting and we listed the names of the absentees
in an editorial (and, in a classic Kernel blunder,
misnamed the one student who supported the
new measure). As you read recently, 86 is
coming back, circulating a petition to rescind the
new measure. With the help of A 8: S dean Ben
Black, it may be successful.

Some other second-semester editorials con-
cerned the Paris Pike proposal, intramural
officiating, the possibility of Singletary leaving
(we hoping that he wouldn’t), the faculty

resignations and lack of resources at the Med'

Center, and Carter’s energy program, which we
support in principle. .

Perhaps more than in other years, we wrote
about foreign affairs—in China, Africa, the
Soviet Union, Vietnam, India, Mexico and
Canada among others. Not being experts on
foreign affairs, we informed ourselves as best as
possible and tried to present an overview of the
situations, rarely espousing sweeping editorial
proposals.

We discovered the idea of editorial tidbits—
discussing several subjects in one editorial—and
thought them successful. And Hixson is solely
responsible for four “light” editorials. Do these
headlines ring a bell? “Coming candy crunch
could crumble country” ; “Announcing Nurd and
Moron”; “Will it matter in five years”; and
“Prepare to punish public pupils.”

“’natirin’ai's'triti-mine bill, tighter mine safety and
. . entorcement. regulations and investittetiqri... 0t .

creek a nd river sedimentation were the bases for
seven editorials.

As readers are all too quick to point out, we do
make mistakes sometimes. Joining the
aforementioned wrong name blunder as top
errors made on this page were incorrect figures
we gave for the cost of the Student Center
Board’s video tape units and our urge for the
Physical Plant Division to donate more than one
can for a recylcing drive. That should have been
one van. We’re still blushing.

Our candidate for editorial headline of the
year: “Community gets shaft for elevator falls”
(at the Patterson Office Tower) Thirthy-four
editorial headlines tied for worst of the year.

[Editorial word of the year: “Indeed” was a

runaway winner.

For most consistent contributors, we nominate
students Carol Dussere and John Fields and
faculty member Dr. Wayne Davis. The winner,
however, was the Young Socialist Alliance,

particularly the hard-working Bronson Rozier.
For most ludicrous issue in the eyes of readers,
the several letters and comments on a KISS
concert this fall in Cincinnati made it an easy
winner. Some 10 submissions on the morality and
ethics of hunting made it a strong second.

Editorial pages are traditionally the grayest in
a newspaper and ours is no different. Oliphant’s
syndicated cartoon was often the only art on this
page. Sometimes we used other graphics, the
most memorable being a pot plant that
obliterated Gatewood Galbraith‘s third article
proposing marijuana legalization at the
beginning of the semester. The printer blew it.

The other regular feature on this page is the
daily columns. Dick Downey has completed law
school now (that is, if he passes finals this week)
and thus will move'on to greater heights. We
tharir him for devoted service and a lively,
unpredictable column.

The other columns were newcomers. We
quickly dumped a “letters from the editor”
column which bored as and readers as well.
“Perspective” was another column which didn’t
make the grade. It was to be written weekly by a
member of the University community.

We solicited some good ones—from W.E.
Lyons, Jerry Stevens, Leonard Tipton and John
Stephenson—but when faculty members turned
them in past deadline and others not at all, we
gave up. One wonders about professors who
complain about late papers.

Bruce W. Singleton’s “Corsumer Focus”
(which doesn’t appear today because he’s also
trying to pass tests) offered weekly tips on
consumer affairs. That information was
valuable and if you have consumer problems and
don’t know what to do, look Bruce up.

Jim Harralson regularly delivered his bi-

weelglycolumn on economics, SG and other

issues. Jim was SG president in 1975376. We

. rarely agree with his conservative views, but we

used his column to present readers with an op-
posing voice.

Barbara Houts, a Communications graduate
'student, joined us for the second semester and
I graced the pages with words of wit. And our own
John Winn Miller, managing editor, spoke with a
humorous voice. Like Houts and Harralson, J W‘s
column appeared bi-weekly.

By far our longest column was written weekly
by an insightful Washington reporter, veteran
journalist Richard Lee Strout of The New
Republic. The column was “TRB from
Washington,” which we liked so much that we
couldn't bear to edit it for length.

Oh, yes. The editorial pages were written and
edited by Editor-inchief Ginny (Wacko) Ed-
wards, Hixson, Miller and Assistant Managing
Editors Mike Meuser and Richard Gabriel.
You’ve just met the Editorial Board. We thank

our readers, especially those who were faithful

enough to read all of this.

We can resume discussion
of evolution ”only after

Creationists prove Earth is it

By WAYNE H. DAVIS

Prof. Cornelius complained that
the Creation Research Society Quar-
terly is not in the UK Libraries.
Since nearly all the information
presented by the anti-evolutionists
comes from this remarkable jour-
nal, let me introduce it to the
University community, courtesy of
Dr. Cornelius, who kindly lent me a
copy.

Voting membership in the Society
is restricted to persons with at least
a masters degree in a recognized
science discipline. There are about
500 such members. Most of the
articles are written by members
with doctorate degrees. The Society
maintains a fund to assist research
efforts.

 

commentary

 

According to a statement in the
Quarterly, all members must sub-
scribe to the following:

1. The Bible is the written word of
God . . . and scientifically true in all
of the original autographs.

2. All basic types of living things
. . . were made by God during
Creation Week . . .

3. The great Flood described in
Genesis, . . . was an historical ev-
ent, worldwide in its extent and

effect.

The cover of the issue of the CRS
Quarterly on my desk shows a photo
of a bristlecone pine, a species
whose tree rings indicate some
individuals are several thousand
years older than is, the earth
according to biblical accounts. An
article on the pines criticizes the
accuracy of tree ring dating, con-
cluding that the ages of the pines do
not have to be accepted “particular-
ly if they should conflict with
Biblical evidence.”

Another article, a critique of a
theory of the solar system, con-
eludes that “whenever the theory
and Scripture truly disagree, the
theory obviously must be modified."

Both the above articles were
written by people with the PhD. One
wonders if the writers are sincere.
or if they were driven to desperation
to survive in today‘s hopeless scien-
tific job market, and thus had to give
up their credibility as objective
scientific investigators.

Let me suggest to the Creationists
that they expand their efforts be-
yond evolution. They should find it
easy to convince the geographers
that the earth is flat (Psalm 136:6;
Psalm 24: 1-2; Genesis 7:11) and the
heavens cover the flat earth like a
tent or an upturned bowl (Job 37: 18;
Genesis 1:6-8; Isaiah 40:22; Psalm

104:2). They could then convince the
astronomers that Galileo deserved
to die; for the immobility of the
earth is thrice sacred (Psalm 93:1;
Psalm 104:5; Genesis 1:14-18), with
the sun, moon and stars moving
through the heavens for the special
purpose of lighting the earth. The
Creationists could complete this
phase of their educational mission
by showing the meteorologists that
there was a sea above the sky
(Genesis 1:7; Psalm 148:4) and
windows in the sky through which
the rains came down (Psalm 78:23;
Genesis7:11).

I think the really crucial task for
the Creationists is to take that
photograph of Earth as seen from
outer space and prove to us that that
sphere is really flat. After that we
can resume the dialogue on evolu-
tion.

Meanwhile, do I think CRSQ
should be in the UK library? Yes.
Although I don’t think we should
subscribe, I would like to see a few
issues in the Biological Sciences and
Geology Libraries. Then, next time
Precambrian pollen grains or Creta-
ceous human skeletons are mention-
ed, students and faculty could
examine the source for credibility.
