THE U.S. DEPARTMENTof Labor filed
suit against Wallace’s Bookstore Thur—
sday, claiming the firm has failed to pay
employees time and one-half for overtime
and has refused to allow inspection of
company records.

Filed in the Eastern Kentucky District of
U.S. District Court, the suit contends both
infractions have been continuously
violated since Dec. 7, I970. The complaint
stated the two acts are in violation of
certain sections of the 1938 Fair Labor
Standards Act.

DEFENDANTS IN the case are Wallace
Wilkinson, president of the corporation;
Wallace‘s College Book Co., Inc.; and
Wallace’s College Book Store, Inc.

The U.S. Department of Labor and Peter
Brennan, labor secretary, are plaintiffs.

The complaint states that the defendants
have violated and continue to violate lWU
sections of the law by not paying em-
ployees “no less than one and one-half
times the regular rates at which they were
employed" for work exceeding 40 hours
per week.

ANY FUEL RATIONING plans’ the
government may have should have no
effect on Lexington's bus service, Lex-
Tran. Their diesel fuel is already rationed.

“Diesel fuel is rationed or allocated
now," said Joseph H. Schleckmann,
LexTran general manager. Under
President Nixon‘s mandatory oil-
allocation program, mass transit
operations are allowed to receive 100 per
cent of their 1972 consumption.

But, as Schleckmann pointed out, when
the oil companies can’t supply that mount,
allocations really don‘t mean much. He
said LexTran is having trouble getting fuel
because it is “just not available.”

LEXTRAN'S FUEL SUPPLIER,
Standard Oil, gave Schleckmann verbal
assurance last month they would provide
the 42,500 gallons of fuel needed for the
first month of operation, he said. No
contract was signed though, because
Standard has no guarantee that they will
get the necessary crude oil to refine into
diesel fuel.

Standard Oil was the only oil company
that would even bid for the job of supplying
LexTran. The other organizations politely
refused to bid for the contract, Schleck-
mann said.

Department of labor

While Lexington is not close to any
major source of oil, it is better off than
some cities in the heart of America’s oil
producing states, said Schleckmann. '

HE SAID he had talked to his coun-
terparts in Baton Rouge and Houston and
they are having more severe problems.
The fuel supply for Baton Rouge is down 18
per cent from last year and Houston's has
been reduced by 14 per cent. These fuel
reductions have resulted in schedule cuts
in the two cities.

The high diesel fuel prices that have the
truck drivers in an uproar will not affect
bus service, Schleckma nn said. The buses
will keep running as long as fuel can be
obtained from any source.

Higher fuel prices will not cause the
fares to be raised, he said. The fares,
lowered from 40 to 25 cents a ride, will
remain the same and the loss will be ab-
sorbed by the city government.

“WE KNEW when fares were lowered
that gross income would be reduced, and
an increase in expenses will just place a
bigger burden on the taxpayers," Schleck-
mann said.

Schleckmann said“ fuel costs are not
known yet because the bills for fuel
delivered haven‘t been received.

Ford becomes

vice president

By JIM ADAMS
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON -— Gerald R. Ford was
sworn in as the nation '5 40th vice president
Thursday night, becoming the first man to
take office under the Constitution's 25th
Amendment.

With President Nixon at Ford's side and
with Mrs. Ford holding the Bible, Chief
Justice Warren E. Burger administered
the 71-word oath in the House chamber.

Among those present were the Cabinet,
members of the House and Senate,
Supreme Court justices and the diplomatic
corps.

THE FOUR FORD children were in the
distinguished visitors‘ gallery and the
public galleries were packed.

In a brief speech stressing the hope for
national unity that has been his theme
since his nomination, Ford said he saw
neither Republicans nor Democrats in the
chamber.

“At this moment of visible and living
unity," Ford said, “I seeonly Americans."

Lacks equal hiring

 

UK is to be commended for its continuing interest in
establishing equal employment opportunities for minorities
and women. without being forced to do so.

The Health, Education and Welfare On-Site Review Team
investigated UK‘s hiring procedures last year, but made no
recommendations. UK, however. has continued to explore
discriminatory practices on its own.

Nancy Ray, Affirmative Action Coordinator, has com-
piled evidence of discrimination (Minority, Female Em-
ployees Increase Slightly, Dec. 4) which calls for future
university action. It is disappointing, however, that UK’s
committment hasn't proceeded past the information-
gathering stage.

In April, 1972, President Singletary asked department
chairmen to establish five-year goals for hiring blacks and
women. Black employment has increased but three-tenths
of one per cent, while women remained the same. This is
hardly indicative of a concerted effort.

Lack of qualified women and minorities, an often-used
excuse, is UK's explanation for the imperceptable increase.
UK‘s reasoning would seem plausible, if progress had been
made in other areas.

However, women appointees to university committees
has increased from 12 per cent last year to only 13.7 this
year. There are still no blacks or women in administrative
offices.

Eradication of discriminatory practices on campus
requires a total committment on the part of the university.
Failure to appoint female and black employees to policy-
making committees, or to promote them to administrative
positions, is as unjustas refusal to hire them.

I am writing this about a certain in-
convenience which involves myself and
several other members of the JUNGLE.

On Wednesday, Dec. 5, a certain girl at
the Seaton Center would not allow us to
enter to play a scheduled intramural
basketball game. We had been rushed to
get over there in time to play our game
with a team from Kirwan Tower. and in
our haste all but one of us had forgotten
our IDs.

Acting in my usual cool, persuasive, and
gentlemanly manner, I tried to convince
her to allow us to enter but to no avail. She

sat there on her ass. as obdurate as the
Rock of Gibralter (sic).

I feel that this practice is unnecessary
and absurd for teams that have previously
scheduled activities with the Department
of Campus Recreation. Since most gym
trunks and sweat pants do not come
equipped with pockets, it is very difficult
and inconvenient to carry such articles as
keys, money, and wallets, as well as IDs.

I am sure this is not the first time that
this has happened to groups such as ours
and many individuals have no doubt been
turned down. Who knows? Maybe even
someone important, such as Bill Struab,
has been turned away at one time or
another.

Professionals protect the boss I

NEW YORK — In the years of his
greatest power, when he was the leader of
Tammany Hall, the New York County
Democratic leader and National Com-
mitteeman, his enemies called Carmine
DeSapio The Boss while the people in his
organization called him The Bishop. Now
defeated, deposed and despised by his
enemies for having lost power, he is back
in town after having served two years in
the Federal Slammer for conspiring to
bribe a city official. But you can still see
why they called him The Bishop.

He has an episcopal gravity. You feel
you are in the presence of a presence. The
famous dark glasses, which he wears
because of an eye disease and which make
him look so sinister in the newspapers,
turn out to be rather pale. Far from ap-
pearing threatening, DeSapio, the last of
the great New York bosses whose line
stretches back through William Marcy
Tweed to Federalist times, comes across
at age 65 as a weighty man who compels
strangers to like him without cracking
jokes or acting silly. On first meeting you
trust him and you hope that the charges of
corruption and gangster affiliation against
him aren‘t true.

“Nixon makes Tweed look like St.
Francis of Assisi.“ DeSapio said when he

agreed to be interviewed about Watergate.
He was reluctant to do it. He‘s still quietly
active in politics, making the rounds of
wakes, marriages and testimonial din-
ners, taking calls from politicans in his
office where he says he sells insurance, but
he knows that if his name is publicly
coupled with that of any of his friends they
can get burned.

"E W AS A [.80 dubious because with jail
and everything he wondered if he had any
“credibility" left. Yet outside of Chicago‘s
Richard Daley there isn’t anybody in the
country whose views on Watergate would
be more interesting to hear. DeSapio could
play politics as rough as Nixon but he too
was scandalized:

“I saw a headline where it said Rose
Mary Woods may take the Fifth. This is
deplorable. Whether she does or she
doesn‘t, she is the President‘s secretary.
Unbelievable! . . .They were operating the
government like a menu in a restaurant."

DeSapio says these things calmly, not
like a man in the pulpit. He knows that
they can say he‘s a fine one to talk, but of
course he is a fine one to talk because he
does know and he can make distinctions
about traditionally permissible and im-
permissible conduct that the rest of us
can’t. So he says of the break—in that it was
crazy:

 

Nlcholas Von Hoffman

King Features Syndicate

 

“If I‘M A professional political leader
operating outta Washington nobody can
convince me I gotta send a guy into the
Republican National Committee by force .
and that Cuban-CIA thing, I’d throw a net
around ‘em . . what those people were
obviously trying to find out was
McGovern‘s schedule to give their ad-
vance people so they’d know who's going to
be where at what time and then they could
set up a harassment to throw the candidate
off balance, but you know the press has all
those schedules. You can get one from a
reporter. Or if I wanted information on the
National Committee I could get any young
guy or gal to volunteer to work in there."

DeSapio isn’t very impressed one way or
another about the argument over did
Nixon know. As he sees it, whether Nixon
knew or not, it‘s what Nixon did in a
general way that set up Watergate:

“If I‘m the leader and people are
working around me it‘s my business to
convey to them the area of activity and the
course of conduct they must pursue in
terms of what I think is good for our party,
for our party‘s elected officials and for
them. I must set the tone. When Wagner
was first elected mayor in 1953, I said to
the District Leaders the days are over that

 

a leader can walk into police headquar-
ters. I told ‘em, ‘forget it, that’s out,’ "

WATERGATE PAINS a man like
DeSapio because it has brought the
profession of politics into disrepute as
nothing else, his own conviction included.
For him politics is a dearly earned skill,
and even now when he cringes at the word
boss, he takes the title of professional
politican with pride:

“Nixon didn’t have professionals around
him. The mere fact that he had those
advance men (Ehrlichman and
Haldeman), men who knew how to whip up
a crowd or arrange for the balloons to drop

at the right time—that doesn’t make them
professionals.“

To DeSapio a professional first of all
protects his boss. That is, he is a guy with
flexibility and “sophistication.“ At the
same time DeSapio, as a committed party
organization man, believes in loyalty
every bit as much as the Nixon people, but
“it depends if the top man permits the
right type of loyalty to exist. Take Kenny
O'Donnell and Larry O’Brien. all those
fellows around John Kennedy, they were
as fiercely loyal to Kennedy as Ehrlich-
man and Haldeman were to Nixon but they
had the know-how not to be so arbitrary
and to be more flexible."

  

 By GEORGE W. DENEMARK
Student Government President (Jim)
Flegle has used the columns of the Kernel
on two recent occasions to register his
opinions regarding the proposed change in
College of Education admissions policy
recommended by the Senate Council. He
concluded his most recent remarks with a
plea for a delay in University Senate ac-
tion on the matter. Earlier he spoke about
the “ad hoc basis" of the College proposal
and declared himself opposed to “frantic
actions to drastically reduce anything."
Such observations are at odds with reality
as a fair review of the record and sup-
porting data will document.

University Senate members received
copies of the Education proposal last
March at the time it was presented to the
Undergraduate Council for review. Prior
approval of the plan had been given by the
College Faculty at its February 1973
meeting. following departmental. special,
and standing committee reviews that
began in 1971. In July of 1971 the College of
Education initiated a survey of 60 major
state or land grant universities to deter—
mine their policies and procedures on
admission and control of enrollment in
their teacher preparation programs. That
study disclosed that universities like
Minnesota had been restricting
enrollments in specific teacher education
curricula since 1950 and that many Big
Ten, SEC, and other major state univer-
sities had either already initiated or were
then contemplating enrollment controls by
program with criteria adapted to unique
program needs and resources.

AT THE SUGGESTION 0f the Senate
Council. each University Senator has
received this week a packet of informative
materials documenting the College of
Education's careful analysis of factors
relevant to a sound decision on this matter.

  

(Several bulkier items included in the
packet provided the Council were not
distributed to all but are available on
request or at the Monday Senate meeting.)
Included in the materials is a summary of
the teacher education admissions criteria
of the Kentucky regional universities and
the University of Louisville. A review of
those shows that UK teacher education
admission requirements are lower than
those of any of the state institutions sur-

veyed. The College of Education at UK '7

should be providing leadership to the
Commonwealth in selecting and training
top quality students for the important task
of teaching our children and youth rather
than struggling to accommodate everyone
who thinks they might like to teach. Can
we afford tocontinue being satisfied to talk
about numbers of graduates instead of
quality teachers for our children? Can we
continue to view open admissions to a
professional school like Education as a
“democratic" obligation but consider the
calibre of students and resources available
for a quality experience as bases for
restricting enrollments. in Law, Medicine.
Dentistry. Nursing. and Allied Health? Is

the impact of incompetent teachers less
critical than incompetent professionals in
these other areas?

Mr. Flegle talks of the need to determine
our aims and missions—our priorities. He
may need reminding that the respon-
sibility for research and related service
statewide was assigned specifically to the
University of Kentucky by the Legislature
some time ago. It is, therefore. incumbent
upon every academic unit of UK to im-
plement that mission. But how can the
Education College meet its research and
service obligations without being able to
.assign adequate resoiurces to those areas?

Dean sees quality, not quantity as geal

«How can the College design, implement,
:and evaluate exemplary or model training
programs, how can it test promising
teaching and learning alternatives, how
can it contribute meaningfully to the
knowledge base needed for improving
school practice if resources available for
assignment to those tasks are only those
left over after satisfying unlimited student
demand? In an era of “easy“ money the
response might have been to increase the
budget and buy the needed resources. In
the reality of today‘s budget crunch in
higher education the practical alternative

must be more effective use of the
resources presently available.
Surely Mr. Flegle cannot seriously

believe that Kentucky students” needs will
best be met by a single. monolithic ad-
mission standard for all 15 Colleges of the
University and the many specialized
programs within them. While the study
committee chaired by former Vice
President Willard has not yet completed
its work it was apparent from the outset
that its recommendations would reaffirm
and extend the movement toward ad-
missions criteria geared to the unique
needs and resources of the various
academic units.

THE COLLEGE OF EDl'CATION
proposal under consideration calls for
admissions criteria based upon the par-
ticular demands of a specialized teaching
field like Speech Pathology and Audiology
or Vocational Education and the resources
available to meet those demands rather
than a single criterion or set of criteria
that apply uniformly to the more than 15
undergraduate programs offered. Jim
Flegle has criticized this approach as
“soft." holding that our admission criteria

  

are .left open for future inter-
pretation." Is that bad? Should we not
leave room for change and innovation in
the future? Are we to assume that
academic policy-making is to be aban-
doned by the University Senate in favor of
detailed. inflexible prescription? The
genius of our US. Constitution and of all
other significant policy documents lies in
their provision for implementations which
can reflect changing circumstances and
accumulated wisdom.

Assuming favorable action by the
University Senate next Monday. five years
will have elapsed from the time the
(‘ollegeinitiated discussion of this policy to
the time when it would apply to applicants
admitted in 1974. (Fall 1976) If we cannot
find ways of responding to changing social
and educational needs in a reasonable
period we shall become irrelevant to them.

The plan under review provides for the
employment of multiple criteria. many of
which are common to the several
programs of teacher preparation but some
of which are unique or weighted more
heavily by particular program areas. All
are subject to the review and endorsement
of the foal (‘ollege faculty and all im-
plementations of such subject to the
regular review and appeals procedures
available now to any student.

“I: ASK THE understanding and
support of the University community for
this modest but significant thrust of the
(‘ollege of Education.

UK helps
town library

Over 8,000 books from UK have
been given to the town of
Wheelright. Ky. to help establish
a public library, said Danny
Hales. president of the Library
Science Student's Organization
(LSSO).

The town once had a library of
approximately 40,000 volumes.
However, when it was sold to
Mountain Investment Inc., the
town and the company became
involved in conflicts and the
company is using the books as
bait.

LSSO is trying to help the town
by placing a box in UK's King
Library for collecting books.
Faculty and students have
brought over 2,500 so far.

The Lexington and Ashland
Public Libraries and the Floyd
County Library System have also
contributed to the drive. The Gifts
and Exchange Department of the
King Library has given many
books and Charles Hines, State
Librarian has also aided in the
effort.

Wheelwright now has a
building for the library and is
receiving federal assistance in
order to hire two people to staff it.

LSSO IS helping the library to
become organized and set up a
reference department.

be renewed from Dec. 26 to Jan.
15. during which time there will
be no fines charged.

Undergraduates should
remember that books due during
the semester break must be
returned on that date, as fines
will be charged if the book is
neither returned nor renewed.

Each branch and associate

Prisoners in the Mexico City jail are taken on bus tours of
Mexico City “to make them jealous” of people who are free

“We are trying to motivate them so they will behave

, better,“ said a spokesman for the jail.

Quakers ask for impeachment

NEW YORK -— A committee of Quakers, the religious
group to which President Nixon formally belongs, has called
for his impeachment.

The action disclosed Tuesday was described as the first of
its kind by a Quaker agency.

“Richard Nixon and members of his administration have
indulged in acts which render them suspect of betrayal of our
democracy," the resolution says.

It asks that the House proceed with his impeachment to
fulfill “its obligation to the democratic process as embodied
in the Constitution" and to the American people.

Postal service advises Yule
first class mail sent early

In an effort to stay ahead of the energy crunch,
the daily bureaucratic snags of the postal service
and the usual avalanche of holiday mail, postal
officials suggest all first class Christmas mail be
sent within the next week.

“It is expected that mail of all classes available
up to the normal cutoff on Dec. 24, will be
distributed and delivered,“ said E. T. Klassen,
postmaster.

However, he does admit there will be some small
delays because the postal service will not receive all
the extra gas it asked for.

FIRST CLASS letters and cards to be delivered in
the continental United States should be sent by Dec.
10. and those to Hawaiiand Alaska by Dec. 15.

First class parcels should have been sent before
Nov. 30, according to the postal service’s
suggestions, but they still stand a chance of getting
delivered in the 48 states—if they are mailed by
Dec. 21. Airmailing to Hawaii and Alaska should be
done by Dec. 20.

Overseas mail to the Near East, Far East South
America and Central America should have been
sent by December 1. Airmail to Europe should be
sent by Dec. 11.

THE SENATE POST Office Committee’s March
hearing, a result of last year‘s slow mail service.
investigated mailing inefficiency and
mismanagement.

 

 

 

 

The committee may have found some methods for
improvement. There has been an increase of 23,000
workers in an effort to increase service efficiency.

Even with the increase. postal manpower is
approximately 45,000 persons under the high of
742,216 in 1970. Ironically, fewer workers man post
offices now than in 1970 but mailings still increase
rapidly.

THIS YEAR'S MAIL is expected to exceed last
year's estimate of nine billion pieces.
