Business background

Graves sees growth control a priority

By KEN KAGAN
Kernel Reporter

(Editor’s note: This is the first in a
. four-part series examining
lexington’s mayoral candilates.)

Joe Graves is no strarger to
politics in Fayette County and
Kentucky. He has served as city
commissioner, state representative
and state senator. His goal now is to
be elected maya' of Lexington.

Graves, 6, annwnced his in»
tention in a press conference at his
bane Jan. 6, though there had been
speculation of his candidacy for
montls.

Sunday I spent a quiet afternoon
with him and he seemed confident,
optimistic and full of ideas for a
Graves adrrrinistration.

Tie first point Graves makes is
that his will be a working, efficient
administration, primarily con-
cerned with providing the basic
needs peqiie expect from city

govemment, but have not been
getting in Lexington.

'lhese needs include sewer hook-
ups, sewage treatment, managed
traffic flow and managed growth.
Graves said he sees these as
priorities, stressing that his ad-
ministration would provide
aggressive leadership to meet these
needs.

Graves distinguishes himself from
the other candidates and the present
administration by emphasizing his
business background, rather than
politics or law. “I know what it
moms to meet a payroll,” he said,
“to directa company soit can earn a
profit, and pay a dividend to
stockholders.”

This emphasis on business seems
disturbing atfirst, because it is often
the case that business tends to
minimize human needs. But in
Graves' case it makes a lot of sense
because city government is run like
a bus'ness.

Though a Republican, Graves has

in the past been at odds with the
state’s Republican Party leadership
for his liberal stands on numerous
controversial issues. While city
commissioner in 1968, Graves
refused to join in the resolution
endorsing construction of the Red
River dam. He was outvoted 4-1.
“When i looked into it, I found that
the construction of the dam wasn’t

necessary for Lexington’s water

supply. I also became convinced of
the need to preserve the beauty of
the Gorge."

In 1972, while in the House, he was
a strong and vocal supporter of the
ERA. While on the Senate Elections
and Constitutional Amendments
Committee, he was a principal
factor in defeating the movement to
rescind the ratification.

The ERA means more to Graves
than women’s rights alone. He said
the ERA is another example of civil
rights, a movement in which he has
abo been active. For example, he
thinks that a woman should be en-

Dorm residents can call
long distance in rooms;

pay their own phone bills

By BETSY PEARCE
Kernel Staff Writer

Beginning this semester, UK
studeits livirg in dorms may charge
long-distance phone calls to private
billing numbers.

This system, initiated by General
Telephone and Electric (GTE) in
cooperatiai with the University,
allows students to dial direct when
placirg lmg—distance calls, rather
than placing calls with the
assistance (1 an operator.

“This is a great opportunity for
students,” said Robert Stark-
weather, GTE director of public
affairs. "Bd’ore, onb' collect, third
numberor credit card calls could be

placed from dorm room phones.”

Another benefit it the individual
billing numbers is that dorm
rsidents can place direct-dial calls
at lower rates than those charged for
collect calls or calls placed from a
pay phone, he said.

For instance, a long-distance
station-tostation call from
Lexington to Louisville (operator-
asa'sted, anytime of the day or
night) costs $1.26 for the first three
minutes, and 33 cents for each ad-
ditional mimte. The same call,
home, dialed direct, between 8
am. and 5 pm. only costs 72 cents
for the first two minutes and 33 cents
for each additional minute.

During the Christmas vacation,

 

Kernel photographer
Charles Spinelli was found
innocent yesterday of
diorderly conduct charges
stemming from an incident at
a party Sept. 11.

Spinelli, one of seven UK
students arrested, was taking
photograph of Metro Police
as they used attack dogs to
break up a crowd of about 300
UK students it the 300 block
of Aylaford Place.

After receiving press
clearance from Sgt. J.
Glindrneyrr, the dficer in
charge, Spinelli was arrested
while taking pictures.
Glhidmeyer said later that

 

Photographer innocent

the arrest was made because
Spinelli was “not heeding
warnings to stay away from
the a-owd.”

Tom Miller, Spinelli‘s at-
torney, said he had planned to
plead the case on First
Amendnent grounds but that
research revealed a
precedent of convictions in
cases where a reporter had
“not heeded a police warning
in artreme emergencies."

However, the main issue in
Spinelli's case was the
credibility of testimony by
both the officer in charge and
Spinelli, Miller said.

 

 

two-part forms were sent to dorm-

residents. A guarantor’s statement
had to be completed by the student’s
parent or guardian, agreeing to be
responsible for (urpaid) bills.

“The student has to agree to
certain conditions,” Starkweather
said. “For instance, if (he or she)
leaves school for any reason, the
billing number must be
relinquished, and the student’s
service is terminated."

Students with billing numbers
may not accept collect phone calls
made to their rooms, and may not
use their number for long-distance
calls made outside of the residence
halls “We can tell whether the call
come from a dorm or not. An
operator may diallenge the par-
ticular billing number and not
comect the call (if umuthoriaed use
is suspected)? Starkweather said.

“The tdephone company can find
out who made calls using cards they
might not be authorized to use,” he
arkled.

So far, student response to the
billim system has been moderate.
Over 6t!) darn residents have ob-
tained billing mmbers, which is
about 12 per cent of UK’s dorm
population. “We feel this is a very
good resporm," Starkweather said.

Dorm residents seem pleased with
the new service. Sophomore Ellen
Brooks arid her new billing number
is “so much faster and easier than
placirg calls through an operator.
Plus, it will keep my parents off my
back dnce the bll comes directly to
m."

Students wanting a billing number
should cartact the GTE dfice
downtown

titled to keep her own name, and
obtain a driver's license in that
name after she‘s married.

in 1968, when ‘Robert Kennedy
toured eastern Kentucky, Graves
was with him, and became familiar
first-hand with poverty and star-
vatim. The charge has been made
that he cannot possibly relate to the
needs and problems of low-income
people in Lexington because of the
wealth and comfort in which he was
raised. To this Graves replied, “The
same charge could have been made
about Franklin Roosevelt or the
Kennedy's. It all depends on the
qualities of empathy you have. I
believe i have this empathy, and I

We spent a great deal of time

talking about the downtown

residential neighborhoods, which

Center’s construction. I asked him
wluit could have been done dif-
ferently.

“For me thing. instead of a large,

“In that extraarea, there could

'have been built low-rise, high-

density housing, with little cour-
tyards and privacy."

1 asked Graves it he thought the
people got a fair price fit their
homes, and how the relocation was
working. “l’m not so sure they got a
fair price. The values were set by
the court, but even if they had gotten
a fair price, itwas nextto impossible
for them to find a new home they
could afford with that money,
because of Lexington's critical
shortage of adequate, low-income
housing.”

Mideast seating
a student victory

It may seem like a minor victory, but students
owe a great deal of thanks to Dean of Students
Joe Burch and Student Government Vice
President Hal Haering for the quality of student
seating at the Mideast Regional Basketball
tournament in March.

Because of their efforts, the Athletic
Asociation was frustrated in its attempt to place
a majority of the 4,000 student seats in the worst
sections of Rupp Arena. generally known as the
Crow‘s Nest.

Burch and Haering, both members of UK’s
Ticket Committee. also were instrumental in
obtaining the large student allotment by sup-
porting the move in last week’s committee
meeting. Under the original plan, students would
have had to compete with the general public for
tickets.

During the meeting, Ticket Manager Al
Morgan told Burch he didn’t have the necessary
information to make student ticket allocations
and that they would have to meet later to discuss
student seating. Needless to say, Burch was
surprised when he ran into Morgan at last
Monday night‘s basketball game against Ole
Miss and found out that Morgan was already
distributing tickets.

 

Consumer focus

Label laws have helped, but product dating

Since Ma'gan and Burch never had discussed
student seating, it seemed likely that students
would get the short end of the stick. That night
Burch called Haering and warned him about the
situation and suggested that they check it out.

Sure enough, when Haering met with Morgan
Tuesday, he discoved that students were being
allocated the worst seats. Even as Morgan and
Hearing were haggling over the seats, tickets
were being pulled for mail-order sales.

Morgan contended that because of NCAA
regulations (750 floor seats must be set aside for
the four schools participating in the tournament)
and the large number of season ticket holders
requesting tickets, students couldn’t expect
anything better.

Admittedly, Morgan has a difficult job trying
to balance demands between students, alumni
and visiting teams. Bu’ his attempt to stick
students in the end zone without consulting other
Ticket Committee members was a particularly
irsensitive move.

It was, however, in keeping With the Athletic
Association’s apparent philosophy of keeping
student interests at the bottom of the heap. The
association most recently demonstrated its low
opinion of students in the sale of Peach Bowl
tickets.

There was no limit on the number of tickets
sold for that game, which left many students
literally out in the cold after the tickets were sold
out and alumni and VIP’s received hundreds of
free tickets.

The Ticket Committee and the Athletic
Association need to recognize student’s right to
equal consideration in ticket distribution. Not
only are students easily the largest group at the
University, but they are the most vocal fans.
Apparently money is more important than en-
thusiasm.

It took a student to convince Morgan that he
had his priorities backwards. After a lengthy
discussion, Haering persuaded Morgan to shift

the st udentblock to encompass equitable seating .

locations.

Burch, however, was not satisfied with the
arrangement. He met with Morgan and Athletic
Director Cliff Hagan and demanded that
students be given better seats. Finally, Morgan
and Hagan relented and shifted 1,000 students
seats out of the end zone and into the side sec-
trons.

Although the tickets will cost $14, at least now,
thanks to Burch and Haering, students will be
getting their money’s worth. It’s a small victory,
but it’s nice to know that students can win oc-
cassionally.

There aren't many of us like Fred.
Let something get a little taste to it
and we‘ll throw it away. And
perhaps that‘s good. Maybe we‘re
healthier because we won't eat bad
food.

When the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration (FDA) adopted labeling

product reliability in the supermar-
ket was assured. That‘s the law

responsible for the fact that pack-
ages tKraft Macaroni and Cheese
Dinner. for example) have the brand
name, size and other information
printed on the outside of the box.

In passing this law, Congress
declared:

“informed consumers are essen-
tial to the fair and efficient function-
ing of a free market economy.
Packages and their labels should
enable consumers to obtain accurate
information as the the quantity of
the contents and should facilitate
value comparisons. Therefore, it is
hereby declared to be the policy of
the Congress to assist consumers
and manufacturers in reaching
these goals in the marketing of
consumer goods."

The law sets standards for the
label contents. It also makes it
illegal to sell most products without
labels. The process extends all the
way from Van Camp‘s production of
the pork and beans to the corner
grocery store. If the label has come
off, legally it can't be sold.

Of course, there are some excep-
tions. Penny candy which you'd
have to bag yourself for weighing,
items which the store packages by
breaking bulk are generally exempt
from this labeling requirement. In
addition, some obscure items, like
vacuum cleaner replacement bags,

are specifically mentioned in the law
as not requiring a label.

In labeling, the law requires that
approximately 40 per cent of the
container’s area be used to convey
the “identity of the commodity; the
name and place of business of the
manufacturer, packer, or distribu-
tor; the net quantity of contents; and
net quantity of servings, uses or
applications represented to be pre-
sent.”

The FDA regulations set pursuant
to the law have gotten quite picky.
One is called the “dual declaration
of net quantity” requirement. When
weight is the appropriate unit of
measurement, and the amount con-
tained in the package is between one
pound and four pounds, both the
number of ounces and the pounds
plus remainder must be described.

For example, a box of Tide
laundry detergent weighing 12 oun-
ces would be described simply "12
oz." A box weighing 24 ounces must
contain the inscription “24 ounces (1
lb. 8 02.)" a Box weighing 66 ounces
would only have to contain the
inscription “4 lbs. 2 02."

Similar requirements exist for
measurement of volume. What it
does is convert the amount so you
cannot only unit price more easily,
but also so you can conceptualize
what you’re buying more easily. For

And, finally, he claims

nually—which hunters pay out “to
support wildlife.”

sparently tinnedhythe matters.

“biostitutes” who make up state

Fish and Game Commissions and
various segments of the Federal
Government

As we look through this mirror it’s
easy to see there’s big money in
entering to old-fashioned blood-lust
and that, in believing any of the line
he is harried, the hunter proves
himself a fool.

The Hunter as a N‘atrrre Lover:
Who better to erase this image than
me of the illustrators, John Madison
of Olin Mathieson in a talk given
during the 1967 National Rifle
Association annual meeting: “The
hunter often deludes himself and
buries his motives. Yet, his ultimate
motive in hunting is to kill. All other
reasms, however important, are

some people, it’s easier to imagine
what “2 lbs.” ought to cost than what
“32 oz.” ought to cost.

The aid to unit pricing is impor-
tant, because even in those stores
which are now voluntarily display-
ingthe unit prices of their goods, the
tages often get changed less often
than the price of the merchandise.
Soyou still have to figure out the unit
price in your head, and having the
box convert for you makes it a little
more convenient.

One area still presenting problems
in the grocery store, however, is
product dating. In a survey done by
the US. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) last spring of 1,400 shop-
pers, it was found that people rely
very heavily on the dates printed on
thepackages.

The mistaken impression that
many people had was that a date on
the package indicated that the item
was no longer edible after that date.

The open date. however, does not
indicate that the item should be
drawn away, but rather is an aid in
determining either the date the
product was packaged or the date
the manufacturer feels it will main-
tain maximum freshness.

There is a problem with time open
(hta, however, in that it is not
always clear what the dates repres-
ent. For example, one would assume

secondary. Remove the conscious
intention d shooting something and
a' hunt is simply a walk in the
country.”

The Hunter as “Sportsman”:
There is no “spo ” where one of the
participants is armed and the other
is both defenseless and unaware that
a contest is taking place. The hunter
shines forth not as'a “brave" man
but as a bully, a coward, a sadist.

The Hunter as Predator who eats
His Prey: Certainly he is, as is our
whole society. But our present-day
“culture pattern” is thousands of

. years removed from hunting as a

source of meat supply. We have
taken wildlife’s territory for grazing
of meat animals not indigenous to
this land. Since the hunter is not
banned from the super-market he
oanmt claim hunting as a source of
food. Wild creatures alive belong to
everyone. For an individual to claim

...tbat .bccausehereoderedjtded it

belong‘to'him isunténable'.“ '
The Hunter as Ecologist: The

“biostitutes” play their ‘role' "by "

putting out so much “meat" for
hunters to take. They specifically
create, through. non-commercial
manipulation of the land and forests-
and by captive breeding-“game
animals” such as deer, elk,
pheasant, quail. And, in so doing,
they make the land inhospitable to
many ‘nm-game’ animalsand birds.
Thus is spent the hunters’ monies.
Most if the hunters’ $250 million
goes into this planned ecological
havoc which transforms public
lamb into private butcher shops.
Many additional millions of dollars
fran the public still go to prepetuate
this trava-ranging from direct
payment to landowners who open

that there must be some leeway built
intoa product so that it would still be
edible after the shelf life or date it
could be sold runs out.

Some producers have gotten
around this problem by putting the
term “best when used before"
whatever date is stamped on the
box. But even that does not indicate
that the item is any less edible on the
day after the shelf life expires than
the day before.

One area where the dates are

- probably most noticeable is the

“perishable items” area. Things
like milk and bread are bought more
often and consumed more quickly
than other items. Currently, no
federal or state law deals directly
with the dating of these products.

Milk, for example, is normally
stamped with the date seven days
from the packing date. It is after
that date that the milk is normally
removed from the store shelf. But as
long as the milk remains unopened
andbeiowiodegre'ee, the taste is not
supposed to deteriorate for an even
lmgerperiod.

Bread, which is normally serviced
each day by route people, seldom
has time on the shelf to go out of

their fields to hunters and the
bunglth of the Army Corps of
Engineers.

The Hunter as the Manly Man:
Hunting is an odd way to try to prove
virility and ability to love-by killing.
We credit him zero.

The Hunting Ethic: The outdoor
writers are concerned about the
“slob" hunter. But how can you
draft ethics for rottennoss, for
murder? You might as well write up
a code of ethics for rape.

A Sporting Proposition: The
hunter is told by his mentor, the
munitions maker, that opponents of
hunting are anti-gun nuts. Not at all.

We like guns. And we see as the final

solution to this gun-blood-lust
contigent of our society a plan for
trimming the herd which runs this
way: A “man hun ” is a real
sportirg event, both sides evenly
matched. We’ll put on computer the
qualities of each hunter-strength of
ltmg"‘and‘ bicep, ability to shoot,
poison or trap, etc, etc., and match
each hunter "against his equal.
Perhaps we’ll have to sacrifice the
whole state of Nevada, say since we
don‘t want them running around
saying they mistook Mary for Joe
(as they now mistake a cow for an
elk). But we do think the hunters
should be given their guns and their
territory and leave the remaining
territory to the animals and the
nature-representing public. But
would the hunters play the game?
Are they brave enough? We bet they
would prefer our first solution, a
simple law against murdering
animals. .

student

needed

on the little twist tie, after which a
retail store should not sell it and the
route person should move the item to
the discount store.

These datings are voluntary, how-
ever, on the part of the packers. Of
course, no bread or milk company
wants people to think it doesn’t stock
a fresh product, so there is incentive
in the goodwill factor to keep the
product fresh.

But it would be a lot better if
everybody were more uniform in
what they printed on their cartons

and packages. Ohio recently joined _

several states in requiring perish-
able items to bear an inscription
telling the “last sale date."

There may be some importance in
using this approach in those items
which take longer to deteriorate
tlnn milk, bread and eggs. Labeling
practices are changing rapidly, but
it is not beyond the realm of the
imagination to think that very soon
in the grocery store, everything will
have a date that means the same
thing to everyone‘who looks at it.

Dorm class offerings mix
education and home comfort

ayxm vsuon
Kernel sum wiser

UK is offering an aler-
native to the large im-
personal dassroom style of
leaning. Studalts can now
take courses in the
familiarity of their dorms.

The Dean of Un-
dergradmte Studies office
has organized classes in
Jewell Hall, Keeneland and
the Complex Commons.

They started the program
as “an attempt to make
education more personalized
m a big university campus,”
said Jonel Sallee, program
coordinator. If people who
lived in the same dis-m could
take the same classes
together, “they could get to
know each other better. It
(the clmsroom) would be
more congenial and in-
formal.”

“It was less painful than
regular classes,” said Linda
White, first year law student
who took two classes at the
Complex. Students sat on
couches and it “was more like
conversation in someone’s
home.”

When she taught theclass,

more infra-ma] than thosein a
classroom building. “The
students seemed to enjoy it

more and they were getting
together outside of class.

“People world call me at
night and say ‘I have been
reading and l have to know
theanswertothisbeforelgo
to bed tonight.’ That was very
rewarding.”

Dr. Bob Leupold, history
instructor in the Jewell Hall
clam this semester, agreed
the stude seemed to enjoy
it mire than regular classes.
“It is kind of hard for them
(fr'esllnen) to speak up or
respond. They are a lot more
relaxed in this class.”

“I find it easier to in-
struct,” said Jim Hougland,
sociology instructor at the
Commons class this
semester. “It’s easier to get
away from the straight
lecture.”

.ldln Stephensat, dean of
the Undergraduate Studies
office, started the program.
There were a few
organizational problems
durirg the first few years,
Sallee recalled. People were
signing up for courses who
didnotliveinthe dorm where
the clas was held or in neigh-
boring dams.

One year Jewell “didn’t
know we were coming to use
their dorm." But they have
worked out their problems

and the program is back on
its feet, she said.

Now they are planting to
expand the Win. Sallee
added. This semester they
offered three courses. Next
year they plan to sponsor
five.

Eventually, Sallee says,
“we would like to set apart a
residence hall just for those
classes. We would like to use
a whole low-rise in the
Complex with an entire
curriculum extending over
four years.

This has been tried at a
mmber d universities with

varying degrees of success,
she said. “Right now that is
not econanically feasible."

Stephenson’s office will be
evaluating the program soon,
she exuained. “These are
more our gut feelings now
instead of the result of
scientific research. But
generally the atmosphere is
more livdy in these classes.
Good things happen when
people exchange ideas.
That’s pretty hard to
generate when people don’t
see each other outside of the
classroom.

Seminar to be held
on Ohio River plans

Social, economic and en-
vironmental results of future
power plants along the Ohio
River will be assessed in a
public meeting Wednesday,
Feb. 2.

The meeting will be held in
Room 111 of the Student
Center from 7 to 9 pm.

The meeting will feature a
report by an environmental
impact study team from UK
and the University of Louis-
ville.

The assessment, which is

the first part of a three-year
study, looks at future energy
development along the Ohio
River in Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio. Academic
teams representing the four
states are working on studies
funded by the US. Environ-
mental Protection Agency.
Citizen participation is en-
couraged since the assess-
ment studies may determine
the direction of future energy
development, particularly
the location of power plants.
