Student claims discrimination

Poor grades may lead to legal action against UK

By GIL LAWSON
Kernel Staff Writer

A former UK graduate student
who thinks the University Appeals
Board has not dealt fairly with him
is considering legal action against
UK

Jim Nail, a former graduate
student in social work, appealed to
the board after receiving a failing
grade in a social policies course last
summer. He alleged the grade is
unfair and said he had been
“discriminated agains .”

Nail claims he had disagreements
with several instuctors in the
College of Social Professions and
said his unfavorable grades were
based on things other than his
classwork.

Social Professions Dean Ronda
Connaway declined to comment
specifically on Nall’s case, saying
she couldn’t discuss students’
confidaitial records.

Nail took his case to the Appeals

Board chairman, Dr. Ken Germain,
last October. On Feb. 15, Gennain
dismissed the case became Nail had
not paid the tuition for the course he
was contesting.

Germain said, “I was told many
times he was going to pay. I’m not
goingto convenea meeting when the
student hasn’t paid his tuition.”

Nail said he had trouble paying the
fee because he had been unemployed
for three months. (Mark Gibney, his
lawyer, works for Central Kentucky
Legal Services and is representing
Nail free of charge.)

Nail, calling Germain’s decision
“unjust,” appealed to UK President
Otis Singletary on Feb. 20.

Germain’s decision was upheld by
Singletary, who wrote Nail in
March, saying, “Professor Germain
acted within the scope of his
authority as chairman of the Ap-
peals Board in ruling upon the
jurisdictional matters related to the
dismissal of your case.”

Gibney, Nall’s lawyer, said

an independent student n

Germain created an impression that
the tuition was not important to the
case. He said Germain offered to put
the case off until the end of the
semester.

But Germain denies the charge. “I

talked to him about other things

because I didn’t want to expedite the
case,” Germain said.

There is also disagreement about
the deadline for payment of Nali’s
tuition. Gibney said he was only
aware of a Feb. 3 deadline. Germain
claims he informed Gibney of the
deadline, saying he told Gibney on
Jan. 31 the tuition would have to be
paid before the board would con-
sider the case.

“He never mentioned any
deadline after Jan. 31,” Gibney said.

Germain and Gibney continued to
have phone conversations after Feb.
3. Gibney said he told Germain that
Nail would try to pay the fee as soon
as he could. Nail was in the process
of selling his motorcycle to make the
tuition payment.

0.6 percent, the government said yesterday.

Although the March wholesale price increase was
substantially lower than the February hike of 1.1 percent,
it still would mean an annual inflation rate on the
wholesale level of near 712 percent.

Meanwhile, in a separate report, the Carter ad-
ministration's wage and price agency said overall in-
flation “seems hopelessly stuck" in the 6 percent to 7
percent range. and that the threat of it getting worse is
greater than chances of improvement.

Coonsumer foods. which rose 2.9 percent on the

March as prices of pork, poultry, sugar and fruit dropped.

Meanwhile, Germain had decided
to give Nail until Feb. 7, since Nail
was attempting to get a reduction in
his tuition became of another course
he dropped.

A ma pr point of conflict revolves
around a phone conversation bet
ween Gibney and Germain on Feb. 9,
two days after the extended
deadline. Germain said Gibney told
him the fees would be paid the next
day.

Germain said, “They (Nail and
Gibney) put the extra straw on the
camel’s back” when the tuition was
not paid by Feb. 10. “I got the
distinct feeling I was being abIsed,”
he said.

Germain called Gibney on Feb. 15
and told him he was dismissing the
case because the fees had not been
paid.

Gibney, however, wrote in a letter
to Singletary last month, “I in no
way assured Mr. Germain the fees
would be paid on Feb. 10."

Gibney said the dismissal “came

e____r__I)el

out of the blue.” He added that he
was unaware of 3 Feb. 10 deadline
and felt as if he had been misled. He
pointed out Germain’s suggstion to
have the case put off and their phone
conversations alter Feb. 3.

Germain, in a letter to .Gibney on
Feb. 17, wi'ote, “I had in no way
indicated any diminution in my
insistance that the fees be paid at
once.”

Nail said he spoke to Germain on
Feb. 15 and told him he would pay
his tuition the following day. “I can’t
understand why he chose to dismiss
the case at the time he did. One more
day would not have cost him
anything,” Nail said.

Nail said he had the money the
next day, but decided not to pay it
since Germain had dismissed the
case.

Nail said he plans to pay the
tuition as soon as possible. “Sincel
intend to carry this further, I’ll
probably go ahead and pay the
tuition.” He owes $179 and is trying

to get it reduced to $125.

“I intend to contact the American
Civil Liberties Union,” Nail said. He
added that he might seek help from
other organizations that deal with
civil liberties cases and “pursue the
case further.”

Nall's problem stems from a
required social policies course he
began taking for his master 5 degree
in the fall of 1976. Nall tried to gain
credit for the course four times but
each attempt resulted in a failing
grade or his withdrawal.

“1 never got anything aprroaching
a failing grade in my career as a
graduate student," Nail said, adding
that as a graduate student at U of L,
he only received one grade below an
A. He said he neceived an “Out-
standing Scholarship" award in 1968
from U of L for his high GPA.

“I’ve been discriminated against

New, ’no hanky-panky’
escort service to start

By M. TIMOTHY KOONTZ
Kernel Reporter

“The other night I had a date

with the cutest little gal in the 48
states.
She was a regular uptown classy
kind of chick.”

(From “Smoke! Smoke! Smoke!”
Copyright 1973 by Paramount
Records.)

With the placing of an ad in the
Kernel that offered women
“maximum pay for minimal work,”
Nicholas Martin, an unsuccessful
mayoral candidate, a megavitamin
salesman and former reporter, has
started a new escort service in
Lexington.

Unlike escort services in other
cities -— which offer sexual options
along with regular com-
panionship — the company, ac-
cording to Martin, will offer only a
“good time.

“Look, I'm just too large a figure
in this community to get involved in
some petty illegality,” Martin said.

In Lexington, prostitution is a
misdemeanor.

After briefly attending UK and
working as a reporter at a local
radio station, Martin decided to try
his hand in local politics. Running on
an “ordinary man” ticket, Martin
battled both lack of media coverage
and election spending procedures in
a losing mayoral campaign last fall.

Since then, he has taken part in
founding a local alternative
newspaper, become engaged in
megavitamin sales and, along with a
silent partner, formed the escort
service.

“We plan on catering to
businessmen and women who need
an escort for certain societal func-
tions. Most of the people we deal
with will be from wt-of—town, though
we do expect Lexington customers
also,” Martin explained.

The cost of hiring an escort will be
$50 for four hours until 1 am. After
that, the price will be $15 for each
additional hour.

“At first, we’ll be mainly a
telephone service," Martin said.
“I’m going to insist on meeting with
each customer personally. If they
(the customers) offer the slightest
suggestion of sexual favors, then

For Carroll Hubbard

UK student will serve
as congressional intern

By MARY ANN BUCHART
Kernel Staff Writer

Kimberly House, an economics
sophomore from Paducah, will
represent UK this summer as an
intern in First District Congressman
Carroll Hubbard's office in
Wash'ngton, D.C. She has been
appointed a Lyndon B. Johnson
Congressional Intern.

Johnson developed the program
while in office and, according to
House, it was developed chiefly for
political science and economics
majors.

"The way I understand it, John-
son‘s program allows each
congressman to appoint two interns
per year, to work one month
anytime during that year,“ House
said.

House said she found out about the
month-long program when her
mother spotted an item in her
hometown newspaper. Im-
mediately. she began writing letters
to Hubbad. “I wrote I don’t know
how many letters to Hubbard and to
friends, asking them to write letters
of recommendation," she said.

Even though House never
received any formal application, the
letters apparently were enough. She
heard from Hubbard in December
that she had gotten the job.

“I‘m not sure what qualifications

he was looking for, but I informed
him of all of my activities in my first
letter," she said.

House is a member of Alpha
Lambda Delta (a freshman
honorary) and Kappa Delta
sorority. As a supplement to her
economics major, she takes related
social science courses.

“I’m interested in the in-
ternational aspects of economics
and law,” said House, who htpes to
attend law schoo “at either the
University of Virginia or
Georgetown."

House said she applied for several
reasons, including the experience of
being an intern and a chance to
explore Washington. “I want to live
in Washington after school and this
way, maybe I‘ll get used to it first. I
also hope to see the workings of
Congress and of the different
committees,” she said.

Before she heard about the
program, House said, she had
planned on getting some kind of a
government job in Frankfort. She
decided that a Washington job would
be much better became she would
also get experience in dealing with
people from other countries.

“I'll be right around the hub of the
government and near the in-
ternational crowd. Here (in
Lexington), there just aren‘t any

they will not be provided with our
services.

“Our escorts will not be allowed to
go back to the customers’ hotels or
residmces; in fact, they will be
required to meet the customer in a
public place. It’s very difficilt for
illicit conduct to occur in public,”
Martin said.

In hiring applicants, Martin said
he has experienced little trouble
locating male escorts. “A lot of my
friends have already expressed a
great deal of interest in working for
me.

“I’ve already received 15 inquiries
from the UK community,” Martin
said, “though I expect that the
majority of girls I hire will be from
the general Lexington area.

“I‘m experimenting with different
hiring procedures now, but I don’t
believe I have a moral justification
for hiring on the basis of sexual or
racial attractiveness.

“This (escort service) really isn’t
the type of thing the Kernel should
be investigating. Why don’t you look
into the CIA involvement with the
University of Kentucky?"

foreign people involved in govern-
ment.“ she said.

House said her interest in dealing
with foreign people grew from a
desire to evmtually work in foreign
countries. “My grandmother was
from Lebanon and I‘ve heard that
there are a lot of positions open for
people with economics-oriented
backgrounds,“ she said. “I’m also
interested in helping the Third
World countries with their economic
systems," she said.

Although House does not know
exactly what she will be doing in
Wash'ngton, she said she hopes to
see Congress in action. “I don't
know what I‘ll have access to, as of
yet," she said.

Betsy Pearce. journalism junior,
was a Johnson intern last summer.
She said she gained some experience
became she was able to see some
congressional sessions.

“Congress was only in session for
the first two weeks of my internship
andthat was disappointing.“ Pearce
said, but adtbd it looks as thmgh
Congress will be in session for the
duration of House's internship.

House will live in a nearby college
dorm for the month. “It was also
suggested to me, by Hubbard. that I
use the his service into work
evayday The traffic Is supposed to
be impossible. I just can‘t wait.“
House added.

But you can thumb your nose at it

With inflation, University economics are no different

The economics of living and eating in
University-ownedhmsing proved this week to be
just as susceptible to inflation as hamburger,
cars and movies.

The UK Board of Trustees voted Tuesday to
raise room and board rates in residence halls,
and to increase rents in other University-owned
domiciles (Shawneetown, Cooperstown, Com-
monwealth Village, Linden Walk and Rose Lane
apartments).

The increases were recommended by the
Business Affairs office, which said more income
was needed to cover increases in labor, utility
and supfly costs.

An in teresting aspect of the new residence hall
rates is that the increases are different in each of
the four meal plans. The financing of each meal

plan is kept separately, became the pceentage
of total meals that are actually eaten differs in
each plan. -

Therefore, the percentage of increase is
smallest in the plans where the most meals go
unused. The highest increase, 12.8 percent, will
be in the two meal-seven day plan. Incidentally,
the addtion of a new Sundw evening meal is a
substantial part of the cost increase.

What this all means is that if you live and eat in
a UK dorm, there’s a simple way to trick in-
flation and thumb your nose at Businas Affairs
Vice President Jack Blanton: sign up for the
three meal-sever day plan and go to every meal,
taking plenty of second helpings.

If you and many others do this, your cafeteria
may have nothing left but bread and asparagus

He of the rising bile
He’s insulted, intimidated and harassed at concert

When i get insulted, intimidated
and harassed, ldon’t expect to have
to pay through the nine for it. But
that’s just what happened last
Friday night when I went to Rupp
Arena to see Jackson Browne.

 

In all my years of movie, theater,
sports and concert-going, I have
never seen the degree of useless and
mean pyschological brutality that I
witnessed at Rupp Arena I have
seen cops at riots show more
restraint and courtesy than did the
concert security workers, namely
the self-important young men
wearing blue “Andy Frain”
uniforms and maroon “Stage
Security” T-shirts.

It all begins when you approach
the entrance, ticket in hand. You go
through the tumstile, and the em-
ployee taking your ticket tells you
that you are subject to a visual
search for bottles and cans.

When you get a few feet from the
tumstile, another employee will ask
the men to roll up their pant legs.
Women are excluded. If one wants to
spirit some spirits into the concert,
women are just as capable of
deception as men.

Iwas lucky, I thought. because I
had seats in the third row center. So

I made my way down to the floor,
and found my row, which was emp-
ty. The seats had no seat numbers,
and not knowing from which side the
seat numbering began, my friends
took seats right about in the middle,
figuring it would all be straightened
out when everyone came to fill in the
seats.

Karla Bonoff (the opming act)
was magnificent, his I couldn’t
arjoy her as much as I wanted
became the security boys were
cruising up and down the aisles,
checking ticket stubs to make sure
people were in their correct seats,
and getting those who were in error
to get up and move.

I was one of those poor un-
fortunates. I was sitting a few seats
out of order, so in the middle of one
of Ms. Bonoff‘s very sensitive songs,
a rude “Andy Frain" employee
made me get up and move. Nope,
couldn’t wait until the song was
over, we had to disrupt things and
get up.

I understand the reason for seizing
bottles and cans (which usually
contain some form of alcoholic
beverage) involves a security
factor, as the management doesn’t
want bottles and cans flying around
wantonly. This rationale was dashed
to meaningless drivel when I saw
one if those Frain people seize a
bola bag (a leather-coated bladder)
from a guy a few seats away and
likely poured out the contents.

Who was being lurt there? Cer-
tainly Rupp Arena (hasn’t care a
damn about the consumption of

alcohol, became beer is sold there.
Soitmustjustgetdowntoavenal
capitalist need to maintain a
monopoly on refreahmert.

A man was found to be sitting in
the front row with no ticket, so he
was histled away by two men. They
had their hands on him, and he

reacted in kind I got the feeling he .

may have been a little stoned, and it
can feel real strange to be stoned
and have people grabling you.

As a result, they had to check the
tickets stubs for evcyone. It meant
that while Jackson Browne was
onstage, we had to look over or
around the heads and bodies of the
security men. Rick Reno, head of
security for Rupp Arena concerts,
who was condmting the searches,
said at the time, “We have to
maintain the integrityof the first ten
rows.”

Fine. That means you don’t wait
for a specific complaint, like
someone whine rightful seat is
occupied, you just go and hassle
everyone. Their inconsideration
detracted from my enjoyment of the
concert, and everyone else’s around
me.

Photographers were not let near

the stage. Anytime anyone ap-.

preached the stage to take pictures,
they were moved away either
verbally or physically by the men
wearing the “Stage Security” T-
shirts. The Kernel is the third
largest morning daily in the state of
Kentucky, the only newspaper read
by many University studeits, and
our photographers cannot even get

by next April, but you’ll have the satisfaction of
having caused condderable anxiety in the ad
ministration.

In fairnes, though, it appears as though in-
creases are being kept to a necessary minimum,
without sacrifice in qinlity. Room and board
rates must be calculated to reach a safe break-
even point. And by keeping the various housing
programs separately accounted for, people only
pay for services and costs they actually receive
and pay for.

Officials are using save-a1 ways to cut costs
efficiently, such as the computerized Vali-Dine
card system. Not only do the new meal cards cut
back on illegally obtained meals, officials assure
us that it will more than pay for itself.

One of the most interesting aspects of the new

net the stage.

You getthe idea. We paid $7 and $8
for the p‘ivilege of being pushed
arormd, hassled, intimidated (you're
made to feel self-conscious if you
want to stand up and rock out, clap
your hands move to the music)
insulted, and degraded

The coup de grace was provided
when the concert was over.
Moments later, the aisles were full
of peofle making their way out. As
there was no room in the aisle for a
particular group of people. they
remained in their seats to wait for
the crowd to thin. An “Andy Frain”
man app'oached and told them to
get up and head toward the aisle.

They were not even allowed to sit
and wait for the crowd to thin out! It
just shows how cortrived a setting it
is. There’s no time to feel what .
you’ve just experienced. They move
you in like cattle, and move you out
promptly-

The crowd at the Jackson Browne
concert on March 31 was the most
orda'ly concert crowd I’ve seen in a
long time. The question is, was it
ordaly became of the intimidation,
or was the behavior of the concert
secin'ity people unnecessarily ob-
noxious becarse the crowd was
orderly? I'm convinced it is the
latter.

increases is that residents of University Housing
will be paying a few more dollars became UK
received extra salary money from the state
legislature.

That’s right. Thwgh Gov. Julian Carroll in-
cluded additional funds for bringing UK salaries
to competitive levels, that money cannot be used
for the personnel that works in residence halls,
cafeterias and maintains apartments.

To make those positiom equally competitive
with commercial rates, room and board rates
had to be hiked You don’t expect to find silver
linings in clouds of inflation, but when room and
board rates are raised partly because the
University received additional funds, it's cruel
and unusual punishment.

Bernard Slade, was the
highlight of the evmiru.

Slade has the rare gift of
' being able to mix thematic
moments in what is generally
a funny play. The comedy is
genuine and flows easily as
the characters discuss their
feelings and the evcits of the
year since they last met.

But their experiences
aren't always so funny. and
Slade has let the dramatic
moment sneak up unnoticed
until either George or Doris
lets loose a hombshell that
immediately silences the
audience in awe.

For example, in their 1965
meeting Doris has become
enraged at George's support
of Barry Goldwater in the
1964 Presidential Campaign.
She demands to now why, but
he tries to ward off the
questioning. She persists and
George finally blurts out his

feels now is rage. She is
stunned. as is the audience,

vocalwork and the
crooning work of “Love
Too Good" stand out ex-
ceptionally.

With a trio of albums like
Red Octopus. Spitfire. and
Earth behnd than. the
Jefferson Starship has
become one of the finest
pop-rock outfits around.

That scene was one of the
few moments in which the
cast proved they did know
how to act. Crosby and Russel
shared common faults in
tha'r portrayals of the couple.
The. were stiff and rushed
their lines throughout the
production.

In some places, especth
towards the beginning, the
actors recited the script at
almost breakneck speed,
parsing only secontb between
laigh lines for the aulience to
respond

in all fairness. the couple

did improve as the play
progressed. Unfortunately,
the performances never
reached the quality expected
of a Broadway touring
company.

Despite the shortcomings,
Same Time. Next Year is a
worthwhile weekend ex-
cursion, if only for the en-
joyment of Bernard Slade’s
brilliant cript. It is light,
entertaining and fun.

The production continues at
the Opera House through
Sunday, with a matinee
performance on Saturday.

Comes to UK Tuesday

A 'Short’ story about Randy Newman

By WALTER TUNIS
Arts & Entertainment Editor

That friend and foe alike to
short peofle and resident
songwriting cynic, Randy
Newman, comes to the
Student Center Grand
Ballroom for two shows, this
Tuesday.

Newman has been a highly ‘

admired composer, who
made h'B debut in the early
sevaities with an album for
Reprise Records.

He has also written songs
which has been cove-ed over
the last five years by artists
such as Art Garfunkel, Ringo
Starr, Barbara Streisand,
Etta James, Harry Nilsson,
Joe Cocker, Linda Ronstadt,
and Bonnie Raitt.

Two of his biggest hits
which were popularized by
other artists were “Mama
Told Me Not to Come"
covered by Three Dog Night
and “It Think It's Going to
Rain Today” by Judy Collins
and Joe Cocker.

Newman also recieved
considerable respect for
“Gone Dead Train,-” a song
he wrote, composed and
arranged for Mick Jagger‘s
Performance film.

His tli'a'd album first got
Newman notice for his

singing and arrangement of
his own work. Sail Away, his
1972 album conta1nedh1s now
classic title-song, one of his
earlier controversial pieces,
the mock religious “God’ 5
Song (That‘ 5 Why I Love
Mankind), ” and the bit-
tersweet "Lonely at the Top."

Newman debuted the
material from Sail Away,
which features several rather
advanced string and horn
arrangements, at New York’s
Philharmonic Hall, with his
Uncle Emil conducting.

Taking his own sweet time,
not wring much for how
much of the limelight he
stole, Newman took two years
to produce a follow-up album.

What finally emerged, in
autumn of 1974, was Good Old
Boys. Featuring many of the
same orchestral
arrangements that worked so
well on Sail Away, Good Old
Boys was Newman’s most
biting album yet, going right
for the heart of the “good old
south “

With songs lambasting
Lester Maddox, Huey Newton
and other legaidary heroes of
the contemporary south,
Newton’s album was given a
“record-of-the-year award”
by. Rolling Stone and Stereo
Review magazines.

Again, not letting success
get the b
