Porn law has little clout

By RICHARD McDONALD
News Editor

Copyright I978 O The Kentucky Kernel

Lexington‘s year-old anti-
pornography law, forbidding the sale
of explicit sexual literature to persons
younger than I8. is apparently a law
that is easy to evade.

Recently a l6-year-old high school
student working for The Kernel had
no trouble buying such magazines
from five Lexington stores.

But. Lexingtonians apparently
aren‘t bothered by the availability of
sexually explicit material. According
to spokesmen for the Metro Police and
the County Attorney‘s office. there
have been few complaints about
pornographic material since the law
went into effect last year.

(The law bans the display of
sexually explicit material where it can
be seen by minors and bans the sale of
the material to minors.)

But the law's effect is questionable.
'The previously mentioned student
purchased six magazines at five stores.
including the UK’ Student Center
Sweet Shoppe. and was not asked for
proof of age at any store.

The others stores were: the Wildcat
Newsroom on Rose Street.
Convenient Foods at the corner of
Euclid Avenue and South Limestone
Street. Fayete Cigar Store on Main
Street and the Sixth and Lime Adult
Bookstore at the corner of Sixth and
North Limestone streets.

The magazines purchased ranged
from the popular mass-circulation
magazines Playboy and Penthouse. to
their more explicit colleagues Hustler.
Club and High Society. to a hard-core
publication called Ultimate.
Ultimate’s cover features a picture of a
woman performing fellatio.

The purchases were made between
l0 a.m. and noon. Two of the stores

Editor‘s note: E vidently. minors can

year-old high school student saw when
he went shopping in Lexington
recently.

coed dorm to North

"KIM AUBREY
Staff Writer

The construction of new apartments
on South Campus has led to changes
in existing UK residence halls.

It was announced yesterday that
next fall Keeneland Hall. now an
upperclass women‘s dorm on North
Campus. will house coed residents.
Blanding III. a South Campus coed
ball. will house freshmen men. Boyd
Hall. an upperclass men‘s dorm. will
house freshmen women.

Residents of coed dorms met with
Dean of Students .loe Burch last week
to discuss proposed changes. Many of
the students then opposed any plan

that would move coed units. now allat
the Complex. to North campus.

The new UK apartments under
construction behind Commonwealth
Stadium will provide 600 spaces for
upperclass students. Housing officials
expect them to ease the freshmen
housing crunch.

Burch said many plans had been
considered. Housing officials thought
of changing two of the South Campus
coed halls to house freshmen. but
chose the new plan because there was
an equal amount of space on both
sides of campus to house freshmen.

Burch said he and the housing staff
worked with the Student Affairs
Committee of Student Government to

looking to see ifanyone was looking at
them and appeared to be in a hurry.

I picked up two magazines and
walked over to the register. The man
gave me a strange grin and rang up my
purchase. without asking for any
identification.

At the Student Center Sweet
Shoppe there were a number of
magazines. including Penthouse. on
display. Those working at the counter
appeared to be students and none of
them stared when I asked for a
Penthouse. Since most of the
customers are students over l8. I
didn't expect to be carded and wasn‘t.

The next store I went to was the
Convenient Food Mart at the corner
of Euclid Avenue and South
Limestone Street. This was the first
store I had been to that had magazines
under the counter. without signs
advertising them.

I asked for several magazines before
I came to one they had in stock. The

is almost totally the Student
Government‘s." Burch said. “except
which coed hall to change.”

He said he and other officials tried
to get reactions from resident students
who would be affected by possible
plans.

“We spent a significant amount of
time trying to to asse“ what student
opinions were about this situation."
Burch said.

At yesterday‘s Board of Trustees

said if the scssion‘s purpose is "for
policicztl leaders to cut funding." it
would have serious repercussions on
University programs and faculty
morale.

“The faculty and staff of this
institution have been fighting inflation
for a decade. If the rest of the nation
had been fighting inflation as this
institution has been. we wouldn‘t be
where we are today." Singletary
emphatically told the board.

Board member Michael Adelstein.
an English professor. expressed "grave
alarm“ regarding the purpose of the
special session. “It is seriously
alarming to faculty members. The
council (Council on Higher
Education) gave a 5 percent increase
(for salaries); inflation is now l0

Noting an already tight and finely-

requested no changes be made in U K‘s

PRESIDENT CARTER SAID YESTERDAY “good
progress" is being made toward reaching a strategic arms
limitation agreement with the Soviet Union. but issues
remain to be resolved before he and Soviet President Leonid
Brerhnev will meet to conclude a treaty.

Shortly after Carter gave his assessment at a nationally
broadcast news conference. the State Department
announced that Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance and
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko would meet in
Geneva on Dec. 2| and 22 to discuss SALT.

A similar announcement was made in Moscow. The terse
joint announcement did not go beyond the fact that a
fitting is scheduled.

Questioned about a possible summit meeting on SALT.
Carter said: “When we approach a time when we are sure the
items have been resolved that are still under negotiation. at
that time we will have a summit meeting.”

FORMER SUPERVISOR DAN WHITE. charged with
two counts of first-degree murder in the killings of Mayor
George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. will enter a
plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. his attorney said
yesterday.

Attorney Douglas Schmidt also said he favors holdingthe

trial in San Francisco because “there area lot of sympathetic
people.“

Moscone and Milk were killed in City Hall Nov. 27.
Shortly after the shootings. White turned himself in at a
police station.

DYING VIETNAMESE offered their bodies for food to
starving friends and relatives fleeing Communist Vietnam. a
survivor says. and some of the corpses were eaten.

“Some of us. because of overstarvation and survival. ate
the dead bodies of our friends.” said Vuong Vinh Cuong. a
3l-year-old former South Vietnamese army private who fled
Vietnam aboard an Iii-ton fishing boat with MS other
refugees.

“However. most of us didn‘t dare eat them. despite severe
hunger and thirst. It was inhumane. But some ofus had to do
it or else they would die as well.

The dying refugees had offered their bodies for food
before their death.

THE UNITED STATES and Egypt decided today on a
new formula to present to Israel aimed at overcoming two
key obstacles to a Middle East peace treaty.

The Washington peace talks have been stalled over linking
the treaty to steps toward Palestinian autonomy on the West
Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip. The second
issue is a provision in the treaty that restrains Egypt from
joining other Arab countries. should they go to war with
Israel.

“We have finished with these two issues.“ US. Secretary
of State Cyrus Vance told reporters as he climbed in his
black limousine outside Egyptian President Anwar Sadat‘s
villa. “I would say it was a positive and helpful set of
meetings which we've had and now we‘re going to meet with
the Israelis starting tomorrow morning.‘

I also decided to check with the physician listed on the letterhead. The
address turned out to be a vacant lot; the telephone belonged to a retired tool
and die worker; the local American Medical Association chapter had never
heard of the purported healer. The young man had gone to the trouble of
printing fake letterhead. his ingenuity exceeded only by his cowardice as be
bid off-campus. waiting to see if the scheme would work.

Why do students lie" I wish I knew. What I do know is that lying cheapens
the professor-student relationship. and makes the professor suspicious of
even legitimate excuses -~- after all. apartment houses do burn down.
especially if they are the usual fire-traps open to student occupancy.

What I really resent is the way lying destroys the essential idea of a
university. Student dishonesty reduces the entire educational process to the
level of a childish game. implying that the classroom has no real significance
for the development of charater. The frightening and disturbing thing about a
lying student is the vision ofthe university which the he supports. the thin web
of respect that the lie destroys.

Not a strong supporter of original sin. l refuse to believe students are
naturally dishonest. They almost never lie to their priests. only occasionally to
their parents. and they uniformly tell the truth about their record collections.
But they lie to their professors. apparently without suffering any loss of self-
respect. And as we listen to the lies. pretending to believe. without ever
questioning the price of our pretense.

Is the student telling the professor that the university is not meaning/til
enough to compel honesty? As the semester ends. as students realize they
could have learned more. as professors admit they could have taught better. I
suggest we all examine the cost of letting the liars and cheaters demean our
values once again.

Catholic Newman Center provides both

Once the site ofan old house.
320 Rose Lane is now occupied
by a large $750,000 building.
the home of the Catholic
Newman Center. The Newman
Center serves many UK
students and faculty members
with daily masses. Confratern-
ity Christian Doctrine classes
and numerous other activities
planned by priests and
parishioners.

“The response from the UK
community has been over-
whelming." says Jack
Robinson, the center's co-
president and a third-year Law
student. Since the parish is
operated on a volunteer basis.
success is dependent on the
amount of input received. he
said

Robinson said the Newman

Center is a “personal parish"
where everyone is encouraged
to contribute their ideas.
“What many students fair to
realize." he said. “is that all U K
students. faculty and stall are
automatically members of the
parish if they desire to be.“

“Very few people realize the
extent of the center‘s
activities." Robinson said. The
center tries to combine
spiritual. social and education-
al functions. such as retreats.
vesper services. all—night film
festivals. coffee houses and
spaghetti dinners. he said.

Two Sundays in the fall are
set aside for parish members to
sign up for committees on
which they are interested in
serving. The liturgy Commit-
tee is one such group.
responsible for planning and
organizing masses.

Boyd Hall residents upset.

More than half of the l34
residents of Boyd Hall met with
Dean of Students Joe Burch.

Boyd Hall to discussthe shift in
dorms.

Because of construction of
new UK apartments for
upperclass students. Boyd Hall
will be changed to ease the
freshmen housing crunch.

Residents of Boyd Hall said
they are angry because they
were not consulted before plans
for the housing shifts were
made. Burch and other housing
officials had met with
Keeneland Hall residents and
co-ed hall residents of South
Campus before any plans were
finalized.

spoke on behalf of other Boyd
Hall residents. He said they had
been ignored in the decision.
He called the meeting between
the residents and officials
yesterday a “public relations"
effort and said officials are not
concerned about how the
residents feel about losing
“their hall."

“They talked to everyone but
us before they made a
decision." said Pat Lally.
biology senior. and Boyd Hall
resident.

Chemistry senior Mike
Kissner said. “The University
should have done this like they

do everything else and taken
their time about making a final
plan."

Other Boyd Hall residents
said they thought they should
get priority assignments in
Keeneland Hall because it will
be the only upperclass men‘s
dorm on North Campus next
fall.

“We should have first
chances of getting into
Keeneland." business sopho-
