Outlook Is Dim

Does Aylesford Have a Future?
By

JOHN

M. GRAY

Kernel Staff Writer
What happens to a central
city residential area in a rapidly
expanding city like Lexington?
Usually it deteriorates into a slum
or is razed to make room for office buildings.
The residents of the Aylesford
district of this city are determined
not to let that happen to their
area. They have formed the Aylesford Association to protect the
neighborhood.
But last night at their monthly meeting in the auditorium of
the Maxwell School, about 50
Aylesford residents heard more
distressing news about the future
of their part of the city.

Representatives of city government and the board of education told the group that Lexington's rapid growth would not
diminish in the near future, that
their neighborhood school might
have to be closed, and that a
freeway of sorts might be built
right through the area.
Bill Quails of the City Planning Commission told the group
that by 1980 Lexington would
have 50,000 more residents than
it does now. Quails said the city
would have to add 15 additional
square miles of land to handle
these people and that new roads
would have to be built that would
cost as much as $50 million.
The group got more bad news

from Cliff Marshall of the UK
Physical Plant. Marshall said
that the University is considering
closing all traffic on Rose Street
and continuing University Drive
into the Aylesford area.
A representative of the Board
of Education said the Maxwell
School may be closed as a fire
hazard. He went on to say that
if the city grows as expected,
about 30 new schools will be
needed which will have to be
located in the suburbs because of
economic reasons.
Aylesford is defined by the association's president, John Calkins, as extending from the UK
campus to Main Street and from
Rose Street to Clay Avenue. Calkins describes the residents of
the area as "pretty heterogeneous" with a mixture of poor
and wealthy. Most of those attending the meeting were elderly
and white.
Calkins said the association
seeks to "upgrade Aylesford as
a residential area. We don't want
a lot of filling stations or stuff
like that in our area."
Students and others from UK
are welcome to live in the area,
Calkins claimed. "A majority of
the residents like the students
that live here," he said.
The feelings of the residents
were probably summed up by an
elderly lady who has lived in the
area most of her life, who said,
"This city has just grown too

fast."

After Marshall Crash

..

Controversy Develops Over Airport Safety

HUNTINGTON, VV. Va. (AP)
Controversy flared anew here
Tuesday over safety features of
the
Airport where a
weekend jetliner crash killed 75
persons, including most of Marshall University's football team.
The tragedy also has prompted
talk of a possible review of airport safety standards across the
nation.
ChaHcs F. Dodrill, president
of the
Airport Authority
Board, urged immediate action
to install a glide scope instrument
Tri-Sta- tc

Tri-Sta- te

system, and extend the mountain-to- p
runway by 3,000 feet to total
about 8,300 feet.
The Southern Airlines DC9
was reportedly flying a normal
landing pattern in rain and fog
last Saturday night when, officials said, the twin-je- t
clipped
the tops of trees on one hilltop
and cartwheeled into the side of
another hill.
The airport does not have the
type of glide slope system which
warns a pilot in the cockpit
when he is too low. It was esti- -

mated by authorities that if the
DC9 was a mere 10 feet higher
it would have cleared the tree
tops.
"I've been sleeping with this
possibility for the last eight
years," Dodrill said, adding that
the board "rqjeatedly asked for
funds to upgrade the airport's
safety." But he said those proposals were always rejected for
lack of funds.
In Charleston, Gov. Arch A.
Moore Jr. said it was known for

quite some time that navigation

aids were needed at the airport.
He said state officials warned
Federal Aviation Administration
authorities as recently as 10 days
before the crash of the need for
these aids.
But Moore said the FAA regional and national represenat-tive- s
stated they were not in a
position to help finance such improvements at the airport.
Meanwhile, the city of Huntington began to bury its dead

Tuesday. In cases where identification proved impossible,
services were being held.
Slightly more than half of the
73 victims were positively identified by FBI personnel using fingerprints and dental charts. Other
identities may never be established.
Dr. Donald Dedmon, acting
Marshall president, declared two
days of mourning Monday and
Tuesday, with classes resuming
Wednesday.

'Emergency Powers'
Recognized by House
-

The
WASHINGTON (AP)
House has passed a resolution
recognizing a president has
emergency war powers but calling on him to report to Congress
when he uses them.
The resolution was sent to
the Senate by a 288 to 39 vote
Monday.
The measure reaffirms that
only Congress can declare war
and says a president should, when
feasible, consult with it before
taking emergency actions.
It also says a president should
promptly notify the president of
the Senate and the House speaker when he commits or enlarges
U.S. forces abroad without congressional autliorization.
Rep. Roman C Pucinski,
said the resolution "doesn't
do very much" because its interpretation is left to the president.
"If the president wants to
send troops into the Middle East
tomorrow," Pucinski said, "there
is nothing in this resolution to
prevent him from doing so."
l.,

Passage of the resolution,
which has no binding authority,
came after Republican Leader
Gerald R. Ford said no president ever fooled Congress about
the Vietnam war.
He said former President Lyndon B. Johnson deceived neither
Congress nor the public on the
1964 Culf of Tonkin resolution,
although he added Johnson's "attitude may have changed later
as events changed."
The Tonkin Culf resolution,
passed 88 to 2 in the Senate
and 416 to zero in the House,
authorized the president to take
any action necessary to repel
enemy attacks and protect U.S.
lives. It came after enemy gunboats allegedly attacked two U.S.
destroyers off the Vietnamese
coast, and later was cited as
congressional authorization for
the Vietnam war.
The Senate voted twice, last
June and July, to repeal the
resolution, although the White
House said it no longer needed
the authorization.

Savage Inadequate?

State May Stop All New
-

FRANKFORT (AP)
The
Kentucky Water Pollution Control Commission raised the possibility Tuesday of stopping all
new hook-o- n s to Lexington's sewage system.
It voted to give Ralph Pickard,
the executive director, power to
take that drastic step if he believes it vital to halt pollution
from the city's Town Branch
sewage plant.
The move was taken after the
commission rejected a staff plan
calling for it to seek a criminal
indictment against Lexington before the Fayette County grand
jury.
Lexington has been the target
of continuing complaints that its
sewage treatment facilities are inadequate and it is consequently
polluting other areas. Hook-o- n s
already have been blocked for
the Cainesway sewage treatment
plant in another part of the city.
The state commission moved
against the city in retaliation for

sur-

veys of about 90,000 persons up
to the age of 35 were made public by the Education Commission of the States, a nonprofit
organization set up in 1964 with
funds from the Carnegie Corpora-

tion. Later financing has come

from the Ford Foundation and
the U.S. Office of Education.

In a random sampling across
the nation, those interviewed
were asked if they would permit
Americans to hear these statements by radio or television
"Russia is better than the United
States," "Some races of people

are better than others," "It is
not necessary to believe in Cod."
Sixty-eigpercent of adults
from 26 to 35 said they would

So would 94 percent of boys and
girls 13 years old and 78 percent of youngsters 17 years old.

people to write and understand

Governors, including Delaware
Cov. Russell W. Peterson, chairman of the commission, arrived
for three days of meetings of
the commission's steering committee.
How the nation progresses in
education is the major study of
the publications and research performed by the commission's staff.
The first cycle of "national assessment" ends in 1975.

Private Funding at UK Is Behind the Times

Singletary reported to the
board that he and Vice President

needed. Singletary told the board
that the investigation would continue.

Moment of Decision
Tomorrow's Student Government election results should be
more significant in showing who is
not elected than in illustrating any
future direction for campus politics.
In a campaign marked by a nearly complete absence of issue presentation and debate, it is of little
consequence which students are
elected on their own merit. The
overriding issue will be the negative votes cast. Since last spring's
presidential election certain campus groups have constantly asserted
that Steve Bright's election was a
d
mistake. Even with a
turnout and a landslide victory,
Bright has been constantly accused
of assuming power illegitimately.
In the game of amateur politics
the simplest constituency an ideology can claim is that massive, apathetic majority which didn't cast
its vote in the past election. On
near-recor-

UK's campus, the Student Coalition Party has played this level
of politics for all it's worth. By
claiming to represent the great silent majority of UK students, the
Coalition has repeatedly asserted
that at least 10,000 UK students
are thoroughly indignant at Bright
and his tactics. Finally the time
has come for this horde of students to nish to the polls and
repudiate Bright indirectly, by
denying seats to those candidates
who are in support of him.
If campus opinion has turned
overwhelmingly against Bright,
those people who constitute this
opinion should certainly be encouraged to vote for those candidates
who have based their campaign
on an
sentiment. If this
is not the case, may we forever
drop the controversy of who represents an unrepresentable
anti-Brig-

Free U Endorsements
To the Editor
The Free University Coordinating Body
would like to draw every student's attention to a number of worthwhile candidates for the offices of Student Government representative. These candidates in
the perspective of the Free U have shown,
and are showing their commitment to
students through their support of such
groups as Free University.
It is evident that the student community requires for its betterment peers
that will align themselves to the needs
of students. The below comprise a list
of those candidates we believe, if elected,
will lead students not into labyrithine
rhetoric, but into kinetic commitments.

An Independent Flavor
To the Editor
Once again the election campaign is
in full swing and once again I am running. I wonder why I keep running myself
sometimes, but I finally decided that my
voice is needed. Why is it needed, you
ask?

Someone has to speak with an independent flavor. For now we have the
campaign of the mass machines ACT
and SCP are meeting head-o- n
in a bid
for total supremacy of Student Government. 1 teel ALT! is being a little greedy
since they already have 14 out of 32
seats. As for SCP, I feel they do need
a couple of seats, after all as of now
the conservative wing of this campus
has almost no representation and what
they have is up for grabs in tliis tlec-,

nesting the withdrawal deadline

tion. Myself, I am a member of the independent left so to speak. Tlie independents running who have what the
Coalition calls radical thoughts but who
are not in a formal party. There are
a couple of SAR candidates running but
the party as such is dead.
Everyone seems concerned this election
with issues. The only real issue is that
two factions are fighting each other for
political control of a Student Government that is almost powerless. ACT and
SCP preach responsibility, which is why
they condemn James Douglas MacArthur
Williams. Actually Williams does a good
job showing S
