THE MACKE COMPANY, a Maryland-
based food services firm with extensive
nationwide operations, has signed an
exclusive five-year contract with the
University to provide UK with vending
machine service.

The Macke Co. replaces the Central
Vending Company, Inc., which had held
the UK contract for the last eight years.
Central, beset with financial and
managerial problems, went bankrupt in
May and cancelled its contract in June.

WHEN THE PRESENT five year
contract expires, the Macke Co. will have
the option of signing three consecutive one-
year contracts.

Macke will fill and maintain all the
vending machines on campus and will pay
the University 18.13 per cent of its machine
sales, after state sales tax. The Depart-
ment of Purchasing Services projects net
vending machine sales of $873,000 for the
current year, of which $157,140 will go to
UK.

MACKE llAS ALSO signed a separate
contract to run the food and novelties
concessions at all home football and
basketball games, a chore the University
has undertaken for the last two years.

Macke will pay UK 26.1 per cent of its
concession stand receipts after sales tax.

$81 was a student-owned and

those of the other local

THE STORE WAS run not as a
money-making project, but as a

There were several reasons for
SSl’s downfall, not the least of
which was the lack of student

Since its creation in July 1972,
881 has also suffered from lack of
sufficient capital needed to sell
textbooks, bad location, mistakes
in type and quantity needed, and
lack of business experience on
the part of the students who ran
it.

' Kernel welcomesoo #00 «wow
reader response

During its one-and-a-half years as an independent
newspaper, the Kernel has grown from eight pages to
an expected average of 14 pages per day this year.
And, as the number of pages has increased, so has
coverage of campus news.

Now that a firm foundation for gathering news has
been established, the editors intend to concentrate
their efforts on the editorial and op—edit pages this
year. Both pages are open as a forum for students and
faculty, as well as a voice for the editors. An in-
novation we hope will go over well this year is the
soliciation of comments from various campus per-
sonalities and organizations. Generally, these pages
will be open for suggestions, rebuttals and corrections
as well as responsible comment on ideas we haven’t
covered.

Letters to the editor may concern any topics as long
as they are not libelous. However, so everyone has an
equal opportunity to respond, we ask that you limit
letters to 250 words. We also ask that they be
typewritten and triple-spaced for the convenience of
the typesetters. All letters must be signed, including
campus address, telephone number and classification.
Each letter will be restricted to two authors; those
with more than two signees will be signed “and
others.”

“Page III”, the comment page, is open for com-
mentaries on all issues, inside and outside the
University community. Besides local comments, the
Kernel will run items from the New York Times News
Service. Again, the editors ask that writers of com-
mentaries follow a few simple rules:

No comment may exceed 750 words. In such in-
stances where copy exceeds maximum length, the
editors will ask that the comment be rewritten or that
the writer come to the office and edit the copy for the
editors. Contributors are also expected to triple space
copy and include address, telephone number and
classification.

Student political
involvement weak

Aylesford, Towers, College View, Clifton Ave.—
nothing spectacular distinguishes these voting
precincts from others in Lexington, except that these
are dominated by students. But student involvement
in local politics is weak and has been for a long time.

In the past, voter registration laws made it virtually
impossible for students to register in their college
communities. However, a Supreme Court ruling and a
subsequent special session of the Kentucky legislature
reduced the residency requirement here to thirty
days. Now, eligible citizens, including students, can
register wherever they choose with a minimum of
hassle.

There are 25 days left to register to vote in the Nov. 6
general election. In Kentucky everyone is required to
re-register by Sept. 24. If you don‘t re-register, you
won‘t be able to vote in November, even if you voted
last year. The new computerized registration forms
are simple to fill out and are available at the county
courthouse on Main Street.

It will be interesting to see if students take ad-
vantage of the relaxed registration procedures. The
University precincts tamed out for McGovern fairly
heavily last fall but turnouts in the Aylesford, Clifton,
and Towers precincts were light in the May 29
primary, perhaps because many students went home
for the summer.

The potential for a student voting block is great but it
will emerge only when students register and vote, and
only then will the University community be
recognized as a potent political force.

Cheer for the Consumer

 

By Nixon Waterman

 

I’m only a consumer, and it really doesn’t matter

If you crowd me in the street cars till I couldn’t well be flatter;
I’m only a consumer, and the strikers may go striking,

For it’s mine to end my living if it isn't to my liking.

I am a sort of parasite without a special mission

Except to pay the damages—mine is a queer position:

The Fates unite to squeeze me till I couldn’t well be flatter,

For I’m only a consumer, and it really doesn’t matter.

The baker tilts the price of bread upon the vaguest rumor

Of damage to the wheat crop, but I’m only a consumer

So it really doesn’t matter, for there’s no law that compels me
1.0 pav the added charges on the loaf of bread he sells me.
The iceman leaves a smaller piece when days are growing hotter
But I'm.only a consumer, and I do not need iced water: '
My busmess is to pay the bills and keep in a good humor

And it really doesn’t matter, for I'm only a consumer. ’

The milkman waters milk for me; there's garlic in my butter

as Nixon's...

By A.A GROPPELLI
The worldwide inflation has historical precedent.
It is not unusual for the delicate international
economic mechanism to blunder out of control. Two
major problems are these: the lack of skilled labor
and the “bidding up” of increasingly scarce ,raw
materials.

Nations delude themselves that monetary of
fiscal devices will bring a solution. Actually, with
recovery having advanced to the borderline of full
employment, we are getting close to vulnerability.
Under inflationary pressures the productive
process leads to profit-margin deterioration and a
loss of confidence in basic currencies, as is now
happening to the dollar.

There is a point where businessmen refuse to pay
the higher prices for labor and materials. Com-
petititon for scarce resources has caused the prices
of these resources to shoot up. How long can this go
on? As long as businessmen and consumers will
allow it.

Unless world inflation is controlled, it will
eventually lead to world recession, with a crushing
effect, taking over the weaker countries and
currencies, and finally overcoming the strong ones.

Already the seeds are evident, as in the soaring
prices for new homes in the US. and Europe. In due
time many of these buildings will remain vacant,
and the spenulative bubble will burst.

Mr. Nixon, by employing “hope economics,” is
placing his faith in a return to a laissez-faire system
which obviously will not work. As long as there are
new outlets for surplus funds, the expansions phase
will continue, but history tells us that these outlets
have a tendency to dry up. Thatis why I feel that the
current rate of expansion, worldwide, is not solidly
based and must come to a halt by sheer over-
capacity and loss of momentum.

It is against this background that the dollar
remains in trouble after two devaluations. Caught
in a trap, it will continue to deteriorate in the ab-
sence of a true international cooperative effort. As
it is, the pressure of $40 billion of short-term dollar
reserves in European and Japanese hands will
continue to make the dollar’s value uncertain.

At this time the monetary policies of foreign
developed countries are becoming restricted. They
feel that they must take this stance to prevent the
international flows of funds from driving inflation
further into the stratosphere. But a stringent

monetary policy has a price. The delayed effects
usually are felt as a worldwide contraction. If this
occurs, no amount of real balance can be achieved
until these effects have run their course.

Loosening monetary policy in the hope that
deflationary events will be set in motion is like
pushing on a string. Each country’s central banking
authority will run for its own cover, trying to protect
its national interest. Only if we seriously start
seeking a true solution to the dollar problem can
there also be reasonable solutions to world inflation
and interest~rate differentials.

Until now, cooperation has come only briefly in
response to crises, after which the rules have been
promptly transgressed. Meanwhile, the symptoms

are misjudged and the disease is aggravated. Why
is it that we have to reach the point of no return
before confidence can be restored?

Certainly the United States and every other
nation seem to lack a sense of urgency. As Keynes
said in his essays in “Persuasion,” it is chiefly the
lack of conviction that today is paralyzing the hands
of authority on both sides of the English Channel
and of the Atlantic.

...'dirty tricks' hit gas pump, meat counter

By BETTY GARRETT
COLUMBUS, Ohio—This town has
always been so Republican that a
Democrat stands out like the pitchfork in
Grant Wood’s “American Gothic."

In 1972, when Richard Nixon received
56.5 per cent of the vote here, Columbus
just figured the rest of the country had
finally seen its private light. The $64
question is, how well could Mr. Nixon do
now?

IF THE ELECTION were restaged
today, despite Watergate, chances are the
President would still carry Columbus—by
a much slimmer margin—but the polls
would have to be far away from the
supermarkets.

It is there, around the meat-and-egg

counters, that the stifle-rumblings of
discontent and fury are growing daily, not
around TV sets beaming the sorry saga of
Watergate.

It distresses me to say that I find in-
dignation about Watergate and its
ramifications pretty much limited here to
Democrats and a few conscientious
Republicans.

THE NIXON FAITHFUL, who are
legion in Columbus, cling as stubbornly as
he to the notion that he can do no wrong.
The cliched cry is, ”All politicians are
crooks, the Democrats have always done
this stuff anyway, they’re just out to get
Nixon."

I heard a woman say the other day:
“After all, it’s his house (the White
House), and if he wants to bug it, that’s his
business."

I said I considered “his house" our
house.

SHE JUST SHRUGGED. “Oh no, it
hasn’t been that for a long time."

I suspect the reason so few people in
Columbus are disappointed in Mr. Nixon's
lack of moral leadership is that they never
wanted moral leadership anyway. They
elected the man to protect their vested
interests: to keep blacks out of their homes
and schools and labor unions; to keep poor
people off welfare; to conduct violence and
call it peace with honor. They wanted a
President who would elevate racism and
selfishness to respectability and
patriotism. Richard Nixon hasn’t failed
them there.

How are those folks supposed to know
that such a nice guy would turn around and

betray them at the gas stations and
grocery stores?

THOSE ARE THE “dirty tricks” that
really concern them. And because of them,
Mr. N ixon's popularity is diminishing even
here day by day. The thing is, how long can
a guy be expected to think like John Wayne
when he can't buy a steak?

It has been suggested that President
Nixon is currently “pulling up the
wagons" around the White House. While
he’s at it, he had better round up one
helluva lot of cows. Otherwise, when he
peeks out here at Nixon Country, he may
discover the United States cavalry is
coming, not to save his fort but to lynch
him.

writer and social critic.

Bid to open supply routes

Cambodians gain ground

PHNOM PENH. Cambodia
(AP) —— Government forces
gained in their fourth day of
fighting to reopen Phnom Penh‘s
two mamor supply routes to the
north and south.

However, they suffered a sharp
setback Tuesday on the outer
defenses of the captial.

THE (‘OMMANDING

Cambodia’s Highway 4, Phno

seaport of Kompong Som, told
newsmen the entire 147-mile
roadway was open.

But the Cambodian military
command in Phnom Penh an-
nounced later that less than two
miles of the highway to the sea
was still closed. just below
Mohasaing, about 30 miles south-
west of Phnom Penh.

mored column smashed its way
through rebel positions at Thnal

Penh, and forced the insurgents
to retreat.

UK police to offer
free bike registration

In an effort to prevent theft, the
University is once again offering
free bicycle registration.

“If students cooperate to a
great extent, then maybe we can
protect their bicycles a little
better," said Lieutenant Paul
Harrison, acting Police
Department head.

ACCORDING TO HARRISON.
the registration consists of
filling out three simple cards
and waiting 10 minutes while the
bicycle frame is engraved with
the student‘s social security
number.

The cards are cross-filed ac-
cording to the person’s name,
bicycle serial number and make.
At a later date. Harrison said,

as to where the students can go on
campus to register their bicycle.

The registration was begun last
year because “we had a rash of
bicycle larcenies on campus."
said Harrison. After registration
began, the larcenies were almost
ended. However, he added, thefts
are once more on the rise.

Ql‘lTE A FEW bicycles are
recovered from routine patrols.
Monday night, Officer Mike Long
of the University Police
Department found a luspeed
bicycle lying in some bushes. He
checked the registration number
with headquarters and found the
bicycle had been reported stolen
in June.

Thanks to the registration
number and cross-filing system,
the Department was able to
return the bicycle to its owner.

     
 

      
          
            
        

    

 

 

LOUISVILLE Ky. (AP) —
Cattle rustlers are loose again in
Kentucky and some of the vic-
tims have their own ideas about
dealing with them.

“I wish the old hanging law was
still on the books,” said Jack
Irwin, who lost three prize heifers
last week at his Anchorage farm.

THAT SAME EVENING,
rustlers took four cows and three
calves from Irwin’s neighbor.

Irwin already has offered a
$1,000 reward for information
leading to arrest and conviction
of the thieves but hasn’t had any
results.

“It's not that I don’t think we
haven’t got a good enforcement
agency,” Irwin explained. “I just
think Icanfind out more this way
by myself than they can.”

IN ADDITION TO the three
heifers, valued at $1,170, Irwin
lost one hog, a grain wagon, two
pumps and a garden hose.

He thinks a ring is operating in
the area because “these people
knew what they wanted and what
they were doing.”

Col. Leslie Pyles, State Police
director, disagrees with that
theory although he admits there
has been a marked increase in
rustling.

“MOST OF THE reports have
been widely scattered,” he said,
adding that thefts have taken
place in areas as separated as
Hickman and Fulton counties in
the southwestern comer of the
state, to Pikeville on the far
eastern tip.

In the first six months of this
year, State Police received
reports on 49 instances of cattle
theft, an increase of 65 per cent
over the same period last year
when there were 30.

Pyles admitted the high price
of beef might have been one
factor in the increase.

AT APPROXIMATELY 1,000
pounds, the average slaughter
steer would bring an estimated
$535 to $540 on the Louisville
market today. Last year at this

time, the same steer would have
brought $307.

Pyles said there was a special
team of investigators working in
Hickman and Fulton counties,
along with the State Police’s
normal detachment, but there
were no plans to increase
manpower or to concentrate on
rustling.

Rustlers still carry guns but
most of them are loaded with
tranquilizers.

Black says BGS no
handicap to grads

By SUSAN JONES
Kernel Staff Writer
The adoption of the ’BGS
(Bachelor of General Studies)
program in 1971 greatly
broadened the scope of
educational opportunities at UK.
The BGS program is for the Arts
and Sciences student who wants
to work in more than one
academic discipline or who wants
to achieve special career goals.
The BGS program waives the
University General Studies
requirements and the
requirements of the various
disciplines within Arts and
Sciences.

Last spring there were ap-
proximately 230 BGS students.
“So far, I don’t know a single
person who has graduated with a
BGS degree and regretted it,”
said Dr. Ben Black, Assistant
Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences

WHEN BGS WAS first adopted
there was a fear that the degree
would not be thought equal to a
Bachelor of Arts or Sciences
degree, resulting in
discrimination against BGS
graduates on the part of em-
ployers or graduate schools. “1

don’t know of anyone who has
been turned down by an employer
or a graduate school specifically
because of a BGS degree,” said
Black.

“BGS students fall into two
general categories,” said Black,
“Some are in it simply because
they want to get out of
requirements, however, a sur-
prisingly large number are in
BGS because they really do want
to set up their own educational
program.”

To enter the BGS program a
student must have at least 30
hours of credit and not be on
academic probation. Transcripts
must accompany applications,
which are available in Room 257
of the Office Tower. BGS students
set up their own schedule and
must complete the University
requirement in English com-
position, 120 hours with a 2.0
standing, 45 hours, in courses at
or above the 300 level and 90
hours in Arts and Sciences
courses.

BGS STUDENTS ARE also
asked to communicate the
cohesiveness of their program
upon its completion.

Blood bank given

warning

By PAUL CURRAN
Kernel Staff Writer
In a move designed to curb the
transfusion of blood con-
taminated with hepatitis. the
Department of Health Education
and Welfare last month issued a
strong warning to the nation’s
blood banks telling them to either
clean up their operations
voluntarily or face the creation of
a nationalized blood program.
The aim of the new blood
policy, HEW Secretary Caspar
W. Weinberger said, is to create
“an all-voluntary system of blood
(donating) which would go far
toward eliminating the threat of
hepatitis transmitted by blood
from unhealthy donors." He has
given the nation’s blood banks a
four-month deadline to effect the
proposed changes.

HERE IN LEXINGTON. the
Central Kentucky Blood Center
(CKBC) is chafing under the
government‘s threat to
nationalize blood centers.

John D. Norris, director of
donor services for CKBC said
today that HEW's proposal is
“typical of the government. What
it requires us to do is establish an
all-volunteer type system within
the next four or five months."

The main thrust of HEW‘s
broadside has been aimed at
commerical blood centers ac—,
tively soliciting paid donors.
According to figures released
from a HEW task force study of
national blood resources,
“commercial” blood accounts for
35-40 per cent of post-transfusion
hepatitis.

NORRIS AGREES WITH the
government’s findings but points
to the fact that the CKBC has
decreased its number of com-
mercial donors from 30 per cent
to a current six to ten per cent.

Since the founding of the CKBC
in 1969 Norris said there has not
been “a single instance” of
supplying a hospital with con-
taminated blood.

The CKBC’s basic objection to
nationalization, said Norris, is
the fear that creating blood
center “regions,” as called for by
.HEW, would leave the central

..

by HEW

Kentucky area short of an
adequate supply of blood should
an emergency arise. Under
guidelines proposed by HEW,
various sections of the country
would serve as regional centers,
responsible for supplying a large
geopgraphic area with blood.

ANOTHER OF THE reforms
called for by HEW is the
establishment of blood labeling
or the means to identify a donor
who has given impure blood. The
CKBC, said Norris, has always
kept records of its donors. If a
unit of donated blood tests
positive for the presence of
hepatitis, the donor is contacted
and informed he has been
rejected as a future donor.

Norris admitted that other
blood banks are not informed of
the donor‘s identity and there is
nothing preventing him from
donating his blood elsehwhere.

Although the CKBC is a non-
profit orgamzation, Norris said
that it is forced to charge
hospitals for the blood it supplies.
The fees involved are of two
types.

A HOSPITAL IS charged a flat
fee of $25. called a “replacement
fee“, for one unit of whole blood.
The hospital in turn bills the
patient $25 for the transfusion.
The second fee charged is the
processing fee. This is a standard
$12.50 and covers the cost of
operating the blood center.

If the blood is not replaced by
the recipient, Norris said, the $25
fee the hospital pays is used to
help defray the cost of processing
the blood. Norris said with rising
prices, a more realistic
processing figure is close to $20
per unit. He expects a surplus of
approximately $12.00 for this
fiscal year and says the
