In the last 20 years. the UK foot-
ball team has had plenty of luck-
nearly all of it bad. However.
against Florida Saturday, one got
the impression that fate had finally
sided with Kentucky.

l’K embarrassed the lSth-ranked
team 'n the nation 28-9 before a sub-
capacity crowd at Commonwealth
Stadium. All this win did was assure
Kentudry of its second winning
season in three years and rekindle
hopes fora bowl bid.

Kentucky accomplished the minor
miracle because ofa little help from
upstairs (with apologies to
agnostics) and because the Wildcat
deferse decided to assert itself.

On the game‘s second play, Gator
receiver Wes Chandler conducted a
60-yard dash with t'K's Mike
Siganos and Rick Hayden. Before
yw could say, “Oh, no!", Chandler
flashed past them and was in the
clear for a touchdown. Then
something strange happened.

Chandler dropped the ball. He
blew a pass play any sportswriter
could have made. Hindsight tells us
that was a big mistake.

Late in the second quarter Ken-
tucky led Florida 7-3. The guys at
The Associated Press thought their
wires had gone awry. Suddenly UK

pass was a little short. Gator
defensive back Terry [.eCount was
in position for an interception. Just
asliereached for the ball, teammate
Warren Gafiiey decided he wants to
be a hero. Gafney inadvertently
tipped the ball to Trosper, who
scored easily.

“1 saw it go over his head after he
tipped it and I don't know how I did
it,” the 6-3 Trosper said about his
first reception this year. “l'm

fullback Rod Stewart defied the law

down run on a trap play. He

theory that Florida's defense is bad.

Kentucky’s defense was so ef-
fective that it held Florida to 154
yards for the entire game. Before
Saturday, the Gators had been
avera gingnearly 30 points a game.”

“Hey, the defense was fabulous,”
Tmsper said. “Yeah, that’s a good
word to use, and you can quote me
on that.”

Wildcat coach Fran Curci went
into more detail.“We took away
their outside run by their backs. And
they've dominated people outside. If
anybaiy was going to beat us today,
it would have been Fisher and (Bill)
Kynes (substitute quarterback).

Gator coach Doug Dickey said
l’K's defense “is a very solid outfit,
about like ours, I‘d say.” A
statement like that could be termed
slanderous.

Someone asked Curci if Florida
may have been psychologically hurt
by the Georgia loss last week. Of
course, that was assuming the
“football players can‘t think”
stereotype has been thrown out.

“I think when a teams in a
position like that t contending for the
conference championship), they
have to play well," he replied. “I
think Florida played well. I think we
played much better. And we got
ludry on one play finally, too

Florida being down completely
because i think when a cham-

they've gotta play good. I think our
team just played better today.

“You‘re seeing something hap-

playing as a team. Dickey told me
‘you‘re really playing well.’

“We'rea better tootball team than
two years ago. This is the most solid
football team I've had. We had great
tearrs when Sonny (Collins) was
here, but this team has more
balance offensively ,a nd defensively.
That doesn‘t mean that we’ll beat
Tennessee, though.”

And how does this team compare
to last year's squad?

“We were a sorry football team
this time last year,” Curci said.

We goofed

Dancers bring toys for needy kids

By WILLIAM PATTERSON
Kernel Reporter

An enthusiastic crowd turned out
for last night's Bring a Toy Dance at
the complex lounge.

The dance is becoming a tradition,
according to Dreama Wire. Bland-
ing lV head resident. Wire said the
idea orginiated while she was in a
community college and starting
holding benefit dances for needy
children.

The dance is sponsored by the UK
residence halls with the help of MVP
productions of Paris. This year‘s
dance featured the music of Xan-
thus, Smokehouse, and Debbie
Works and the Travelliers.

“All the bands perform for free,"
said Wire. “Xanthus played for us

two years ago, but it‘s the first time
for the other bands."

Wire said‘the event has been a
success the past three years. “Last
year we bought toys for 85 families
with children up to 16 years old.
These are needy families that are
doing well to have food on the table,
much less toys on Christmas day,“
she said.

“This year we are buying toys for
children of needy families in Floyd
County. We try to buy toys for the
children of a different area every
year.“

The dances in past years have
collected an average of $550 to buy
toys, according to Wire. Most people
(pt for the :1 cover charge, rather
ttuin actually going out and buying a
toy. “We take the money we collect

and buy toys at a local store," Wire
said.

“Every year we send out letters to
all the residence halls and Greek
a'ganizations asking for an addi-
tional $10 contribution. We don’t
really know how much money we
fave collected until about a week
after the dance."

The crowd gradually increased in
size as the dance progressed, but
there was never a lack of enthu-
siasm, as people danced to the
writinuous music of the bands,
which played in shifts. Even the
workers recruited from the rest-
ckance halls, danced at their stations
is they waited for more people to
arrive. As the evening progressed
the dance floor filled with people,
forming a crowd which was reluc-
tant to break up when the. dance
finished at 10 pm.

Former undercover cop no longer
attracts controversy...or gunshots

By Jl'l)lTll FERRIEIJ.
Kernel Reporter

No longer clad in a Marine field
jacket or a Mao cap, and devoid of
near shoulder-length hair and full
beard. William T. “Big Brother
Bill" Canan does not have the
semblance of a controversial figure.

Now at age 31, with his hair cut
Afro style and dressed in ordinary
clothes, nobody would suspect that
Canan played a major role in the
under cover investigations that
resulted in over 100 arrests (in-
cluding those of 36 UK students) of
drug users and pushers in
December, 1971.

(.‘anan has been with the Metro
Police Force for nearly six years. He
spent two years as an undercover
cop and then went on to~uniform
patrol, which (‘anan considers to be
“the best and hardest duty.

When a tactical unit was formed to
combat street-level crimes,
especially armed robberies and
barricade situations, Canan joined
it. A semi-undercover job, unit
members wore tattered clothes and
drove old cars.

The tactical unit was disbanded
after twoyears because of “political
pressure due to deaths attributed
to directions being followed by the
tactical force," Canan said.

After the unit was dissolved,
(‘anan was transferred to the
training division as an instructor.
llis areas of responsibility were not
"just self-defense and physical
training, but also interpersonal
communication and criminal in—
vestigation," he said.

(‘amnis currently working in the
planning and research department
for the Metro Police. He said his
primary duties consist of
“developing operational program.
administrative procedures and
mak‘ng suggestions and revision 5 of
the budget.

(‘anan also guest lectures at
Fastern Kentucky University for
criminal investigation courses
and serves as President of the local
Frabrnal Order of Police. Through

the F.().P., Canan was instrumental
in obtaining recent pay raises for
police and changing working con-
dit ions.

(‘onsidcring the impact “Brother
Bill (‘anan sactivities hadon [K in
1972, and ibe fact that his name is
still synonymous with the word
"narc,' this reporter felt that an
interview might give some insight
into Bill Conan the man and not just
the narc.

Q: What special training did you
undergo to become an undercover
cop?

:\:l took a couple of training
courses in narcotic dangerous drug
seminars, sponsored by the Bureau
of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

Q:Vthy did you become a narc? Is
there a higher pay scale for un-
dercover narcotics agents?

A: No, there is not a difference in
pay. Because it was something
different and it was an opportunity
to get iii a specialized group to ad‘
vance my career.

Q: What was the basic procedure
ym tollowed as a narc'.’

A: Essentially. i did my own
thing. I only contacted the force by
phone or my unit commander
personally at borne.

Q:\\'ere you assigned mainly to
the PK campus?

A: Most of the time i was not at
[K I was all over. My activities
encompassed five states. Primarily
because of the scope of my in
vestigations. federal and state
agencies became involved.

Q: How many arrests have you
made on drug-connected cases?
Were they primarily hard drugs or
marijuana cases?

A: Over 250. Mostly heroin or
opiate derivatives, morphine
dcrivatives, barbituates,
hallucinogens, mainly LSD. The
marijuana arrests were selectively
made to influence legislators for
revisron of the narcotic laws from a
lclony to a misdemeanor. My part-
ncrwas at that time. along with two
local attorneys. conducting a
campaignto get a bill introduced to

change the marijuana laws.

Q: Did you experience some
probiems psychologically when you
arrested friends?

A: Yes. It bothered me. but I knew
it wasin their best interests anyway.
As a matter of fact, most arrested in
thecampus area especially the ones
not involved in narcotics, are still
friends of mine.

Q: Many people think you used
entrapment to arrest people. Did
you?

A: No. To discuss entrapment, you
must first know what it really is. in a
nutshell, entrapment is placing the
intent for committing a crime in
someone s mind. This I did not do. i
did. at times, take part in drug-
ielated'crimes which is permitted
by the Kentucky Revised Statutes.
The concept of the crime was never
mine.

lna majority of cases, i managed
:o work my self in a position of ob-
server or protector of those who
were in fact doing the drug deals.
This is not entrapment.

Q: Do you think people dislike you
because you were a narc'.’

A: Yes. People who dont know
me, who have only heard of me.
People who meet me are generally
surprised that l m not the son—of-a-
bitch that everyone thinks l am.

Q: Have there ever been any at-
tempts on your life?

aw employment rule
I should not be enforced

t'K law students are seething over en-
forcement of a previously ignored regulation
that limits how much time they can spend
the students
recognize the idiocy of the regulation lends hope
to the future of the legal system.

In question is an American Bar Association
regulation stating that, “A student may not work
in excess of 15 hours per week while attending
school on a fulltime (10 hours) basis." Ap-
parently, the reasoning behind the requirement
is that conscientious students cannot learn law
thoroughly if they work more than 15 hours a

working outside jobs. That

wee k .

The requirement has been dormant for some
three years, but Law School Dean Thomas P.
Lewis announced plans to begin enforcement
next semester. Student dissatisfaction with the
proposal was evidenced Thursday when about

Presumably, those students with outside em-
ployment will either maintain their job while
going to school, or quit either one if the combined
load presents too strenuous a challenge.

Lewis has a reason for resurfacing an outdated

and patently unfair regulation. An accrediting

board will examine the law school next year to
determine whether accreditation should be kept

Accrediting teams scare hell out of ad-
ministrators. Loss of accreditation can be an
embarrassing and costly proposition. Therefore,
Lewis, on the job less than a year, obviously

wants to be careful not to offend the accreditors.

150 law students met with Lewis in what became

a heated discussion.

As a result. Lewis accepted a student’s
suggestion to poll the students in order to
determine whether outside working hours affect
grade performance. Law school officials will
then meet to discuss implications of the poll.

We expect the poll will reveal that outside
working hours has no direct correlation with
grade point averages or general comprehension
among students. Reason and past performance
indicate that the average student will do well if

he makes the effort.

Working hours seemingly would affect grade
performance only when the outside work load is
excessive. or when the student is enrolled in
particularly difficult classes. or a combination of

the two.

There is no logical reason to regulate students‘

students work more than 15 hours a week on

Lewis and the ABA must realize that many
students simply would not be able to attend law
school if they did not work. The regulation, in
some cases, would work to dissuade all but the

welltodo students who don’t need outside

employ ment.

Fortunately, Lewis removed a directive that
stopped students from registering until they
signed a form stating that they didn’t work more

than 15 hours in an outside job. Lewis should next

set a fair

doesn’t mandate ignoring the students’ point of
view to appease an ill-conceived ABA ruling.

lf a legitimate objection to the

and have had since the beginning of
the semester, several options. We
can go through the Student Bar

student reps on the various faculty
committees. We can talk to the dean
or theassistant dean. both of whom
have been accessible.

Is it their business? Yes, for two
reasons. either of which would be
sufficient. The administration has
an obligation to the students, and
ultimately to the state to make this

was a sound one. In retrospect, it is
clear that nuclear energy was a
viable source of energy tas it is
todayt. as nuclear technology was
already available from the military
program and it remained only to be
developed for commercial use,
which did not entail a major effort
compared with other alternatives.

There were too many un-
certainties with solar energy (which
still is the situation today). Now,
with the knowledge that oil and gas
reserves are fast depleting, it would
be economically unhealthy to rely
completely on coal in energy
production.

the objections were not so much
caused by the rule itself, as by its
enforcement. Assuming that most
prospective students read the

aware of the policy of limiting
outsidework to 20 hours a week. Few
of the born-again radicals addressed
that point.

it was okay to have the rule,so

perhaps even a great one. Not in
years has anyone stood on the
threshold of the White House with
brighter prospects of being the right

time.

One does not have to be a Carter
idolator or a person who has sat too
long at Miss Lillian’s feet to sense
this opportunity. Look at the man
and at the moment.

He has the desire, the intellectual
capacity. a broad background. and
the moral purpose, an astute feel for
politics and people, and an inner
security seldom found in an: elected
official. Indeed, (‘artei s personal
attributes come close to fitting any
psychologists model of desirable
traits in a chief executive.

Just as important, however, are
the opportunities for achieving
greatness.

In the first place, the problems

leaves. Some have lain so long they
have begun to form a deep mulch
amund the desk in the Oval Office.

The economy remains sluggish,
even if you give. Mr. Ford credit for
ending double-digit inflation.
Joblessness is widespread and will
require the best efforts of Mr. (‘arter
to fashion a cooperative solution
between the private sector and the
govemment.

The huge and growing federal
deficit must be erased and that will
demand a need to balance taxation
with the social and domestic
programs demanded by the voters
who elected Mr. Carter. The list of
national needs is endless— including

thquakes. A nyonc intelligent enough
to plan sabotaging a nuclear power
plant would certainly have the
knowledge about the numerous
more easily accessible targets. To
mention a few potential cases:
poisoning of water resources.
poisoning the atmosphere in the
midst of a city, blowing up a high.
rise office building in the middleof a
working day. setting fire to an oil
and gas refinery.

The editorial in making a case for
coal, is completely lacking in
knowledge about the severe en-
vironmental problems associated
with a big coal industry. It should be
completely understood that coal is
not the panacea for the energy
problem. There is no doubt that
combustion emissions from coal
sulphur dioxide. nitrous oxides.
particulate matter have been
responsible for many acute air
pollution problems.

There is another potentially

better health care, welfare reform,
crime control, city rebuilding, a
workable energy policy, en-
vironmental safeguards and
bureaucratic reorganization.

lf solving national problems gives
Mr. Carter the opportunity to reach
for greatness, so does the climate in
which he can tackle them.

Foremost in that respect is the
fact that the US. is at peace. Unlike
his recent predecessors, Mr. Carter
doesn‘t have to worry about
American combat troops on foreign
soil. Peace wasn‘t a strong enough
issue to win for Mr. Ford, but it is a
strong reason why Mr. Carterwill be
able to enjoy the luxury of con-
centrating his attention on domestic
issues in a way his predecessors
didn’t.

And. of course. one can‘t overlook
the political “peace" that will exist
between the Democratic Congress
and the White House when Mr.
Carter takes office next January.

How long it will last is anybodys
guess, given the nature of the
congressional beast. But for the first
time since Lyndon Johnson,
Democrats will be in charge at both
ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. That
gives Mr. Carter a chance to achieve
his campaign promises to the
American people and satisfy his
aspirations for greatness. It is an
opportunity that Mr Ford, not even
in his fondest dreams, could ever
have had

Of course the glowing prospects
for Mr. (‘arter must be viewed for

what they really arefijust
prospects. Every prospect has its
pitfall.

(‘arter and his small band of
Georgians like to think their election

Aleany. whose AFl.‘(‘l() spent
nearly $2 million on his campaign.

Nor to Daddy King or Andy Young,
or to the blacks who literally carried
the South and some of the close
Northern states for Mr. Carter. And
dont tell it to the regular
Democratic organizations, the party
leaders and the governors and
candidates who pitched in despite
personal snubs from Mr. Carter and
his aides.

Big labor, blacks and other

Democratic constituencies are going ‘

to expect a share of the spoils, in-
cluding top posts, a voice in Carter
policy anti Carter support for their
legislative demands on Congress.

For all of his admirable traits,
Jimmy Carter is a loner and a
stubborn man. By his own ad-
mission, he likes doing things his
way and cannot compromise easily.
He will find new House Speaker Tip

just as stubborn. In the last two

constitutional authority in many
areas. including the budget and

vironmental conditions. A dramatic
change in the weather is a certain
possibility. Scientists are not even
sure whether there will be a
decrease or increase in the average
global temperature.

To generate the same amount of
energy the qttantity of coal mined
would have to be very nruch larger
than the amount of uranium and
thorium tnuclear fuclst mined. The
large scale coal mining that would
be necessary is bound to drastically
affect wild life and vegetation.

Anyone knows the damage done to
landscape by surface mining of coal.
Also. it has been calculated that the
accident risk associated with coal
industry is more than 20 times that
in the nuclear industry.

There is a notber a spect to the coal

industry. The most optimistic
projections show that coal-
gasification can provide only to per
cent of the gas shortage by "195.
Also, gasification requires lfige
quantities of water both as a raw
materialand as a coolant. There are
people in the coal industry who
believe that water shortage will
curtail the expansion of any big coal
industry for gasification.

To maintain the present standard
of living, a vast amount of energy is
required. and I believe that nuclear
energy will make a big contribution
towards attaining that goal of
energy production in a safe and
reliable way in many countries over
the world.

arter’s church ends bias

PLAINS. Ga. (AP) ~— The
members of Presidentelect
Jimmy Carter’s Baptist
Giurch voted Sunday to end
racial barriers to church
membership—a move long
backed by Carter.

Carter, leaving Plains Bap-
tist Church, stood in the rain
and said, “I was proud of my
church.“

“The sun is shining on the
South again,” said the Rev.
Clennon King, the black min-
ister from Albany, 1a., who

stirred the controversy a
month ago when he announ-
ced he would seek member-
ship in the church.

“They may growl and gri-
mace, but they‘re the sweet-
ist white folks on earth,“ the
Rev. Mr. King added.

King, who awaited the ver-
dict while standing in a chilly
rain, can now return to Plains
next Sunday and apply for
church membership.

(‘arter emerged from the

Plains Baptist Church after a
three-hour closed meeting to
report that his fellow church
members also had voted not
to fire their pastor, the Rev.
Bruce Edwards. He said they
had decided to set up a
”watch care“ committee to
judge the qualifications of
any person desiring to join
thechurch.

Asked whether he exerted
any influence over the con-
gregation, he said, “I was
just one of the church mem-

bers I'm completely satisfied
with the church. The pastor is
pleased. There will be no
exclusion based on race. “

The official results were
announced from the church
steps by Georgia State Sen.
Hugh Carter, the President-
elect's cousin. “The fourth
and final motion was to open
the doors to all who want to
worship Jesus Christ, and
that motion passed 120 to 66,"
hesaid.

Governors set ‘agenda ’ for Carter

SARATOGA SPRINGS.
NY. (AP) — With a collec-
tive and hopeful glance south
at President-elect Jimmy
Carter, seven Northeastern
g0vernors met yesterday and
drafted a specific list of
federal programs they say
will help their region’s slump-
ingeconomy.

The seven Democratic state
chief executives, joined by
some 100 economists, busi-
ness and labor leaders and

 

politicians, spent the week-
end here hammering out an
“agenda” for Carter and the
new Congress.

The governors agreed to
