Women discuss future

By NANCY DALY
Associate Editor

The portraits of nine past Lexington
mayors —al| male—lining a wall of the
Commissioners Chambers adequately
explained the purpose of the "Women in
Politics" conference Saturday in the
Municipal Building.

The former mayors‘ eyes gazed
impassively over the room where 50
women participated in a day-long series of
speeches and workshops sponsored by the
Kentucky Women's Political Caucus and
League of Women Voters.

ENHANCING THE status of women in
the electoral political process dominated
the discussion. with no debate over

political philosophy. The conference was .

geared towards forming a Lexington
Women's Political Caucus.

Brownie Ledbetter. chairwoman of the
National Women's Political Caucus'
political action committee. spoke of
overcoming "cultural feminization" to
break down male-dominated political
barriers.

Ledbetter said separate women‘s
organizations are necessary to develop
solidarity in building political power.

in local political process

SEVERAL SPEAKERS said the time is.
ripe for female candidates in local
elections. Pam Miller. councilwoman
from the fourth council district, said now is
the ideal time for increased female
representation because of the growth of
local government.

The increasing number of boards and
commissmns makes the potential for
women appointments very good. said
Miller.

She also said the large number of
districts and frequency of elections give
women an advantage in being elected.
“Now would be an ideal time for women to
run for office ——except in the fourth
district.“

MILLER ALSO said the nature of
women makes them good candidates.
“Men tend to be pompous and easily
threatened by criticism." she said.
whereas women can better listen to their
constituents.

“Women are especially suited to politics
above a lot of other kinds of endeavors
because of our place in society." said
Wanda Cranfill. Fayette County Republi-
can Pary chairwoman.

Law students protest exclusion of courses

It is an uncommon sight these days
to see students get together on their
own initiative to protest anything, as
happened in the College of Law last
Thursday.

The point of disagreement which
brought about 100 law students to the
law school courtroom and initiated a
petition which was signed by over 175
students was the exclusion of two
courses —workmen‘s compensation
and insurance law ——from the law
school curriculum for the spring

semester.
The exclusion of these courses upset

some law students because they are
considered “bread and butter"
courses. Translated, this means they
concern areas which are financially
of prime importance to practicing
lawyers. Third—year law students
were particularly concerned because
some of them had planned to take
these courses during their last
semester and would be unable to if

they are not offered during the spring.

it appears that the meeting and the
petition may be partially effective, as
College of Law Dean George W.
Hardy indicated he would try to have
at least one of the courses —
workmen’s campensation — included
in this year‘s spring semester
curriculum.

Hardy explained that the courses
were originally dropped because
there was no one available to teach
them.

Though the protest meeting in the
law school courtroom centered
around efforts to reinstate these two
courses, it was evident that the
student’s dissatisfaction with the law
school went deeper than that.

One student said after the meeting
he was “concerned about trends in the
law school.“ Specifically. he
mentioned the increased number of
“peripheral" courses in the curricu-
lum, (such as social legislation and

poverty law), the decreased number
of “adjuncts" (downtown lawyers
brought in to teach specific courses),
and the decision by Assistant Dean
Joseph Rausch to remove a letter
from a law school bulletin board
which advertised for a “bright young
man" to join a law firm. The letter
was removed because Rausch and
others thought it discriminated
against women.

The “trend” that the student feared
is a trend toward the sort of social
relevancy that was widdely publi-
cized in the late 60‘s and early 70's.
The students at the Thursday meeting
equated the exclusion of workmen‘s
compensation and insurance law
courses with this trend.

Also associated with this trend was
the hiring of Rausch as assistant
dean. Rausch, a young professor out
of law school only a short time. was
described by one student as
“consumed by relevancy.“

The protesting law students have a
valid complaint over the two courses
which were excluded. If indeed a
trend toward “relevancy" exists in
the law school, it should not replace
the more practical courses, but
should supplement them. If these
courses are to be dropped, students
should be notified well in advance so
they can plan their schedules

accordingly.

The complaint about trends in the
law school is difficult to substantiate.
There are many law students who
welcome such trends toward “social
relevancy.“ and much of the dispute
seems to be grounded more on
personality differences than real
issues.

Perhaps the most beneficial result
of Thursday‘s meeting will be a
greater commuinication between the
students and the law school adminis-
tration.

Federal Reserve Board deserves poke around ioints

By NICHOLAS VON HOFFMAN

WASHINGTON —-— It tells you
something when Sears, Roebuck.
the nation’s largest retailer,
announces a personnel layoff
eight weeks before Christmas.
Times are getting harder and so
is the pressure to do something.

Many of the proposals — like
public service jobs — which get
pushed forward at moments of
such distress don‘t do enough
good to be considered more than
demonstrations that Your
Government Loves You. These
gestures of symbolic affection,
however, turn people from
thinking about structural
changes in the way we run our
political economy. The need to
break out of our pattern of ad hoc
improvisation on the peaks and
valleys of the business cycle has
never been greater because these
hastily contrived measures v
price control, emergency loans
and the forced feeding of enor-
mous amounts of money into the
system ~ are becoming
progressively less effective.

IT \\'()l'l.l) pay us better to
spend less time debating illogical

schemes like the gasoline tax,
and instead poke around Joints
like the Federal Reserve Board.
With the zero publicity the Board
gets. many people may think the
Federal Reserve has something
to do with administering
government reservoirs, when. in
reality, the Fed has more to do
with good times or the lack of
them than any other single
agency in Washington. The Fed
controls our money supply.

You must consult such
recondite, business publications
as Fortune magazine (July issue)
to lear it is there at the Fed that
much of the blame for our double
digit belongs. Specifically. the
magazine charges the Board‘s
chairman. Arthur Burns, with
creatinga false prosperity for the
'72 election by flooding the
country with a torrent of in-
flationary currency.

This isn‘t the first time the Fed
has been suspected of playing
such dangerous games. The man
who preceded Burns in his job did
the same sort of thing for the ‘68
election and with similar results

an upward surge in prices
followed by unemployment But

Burns’ critics, who are numerous
and growing in business and
economiccircles, aren‘t accusing
him of doing anything improper,
only of pursuing mistake policies
for erroneous reasons.

PART ()F that goes to how
Burns and his fellow Federal
Reserve governors think as
economists and politicians; part
goes to the nature of the Fed it-
self. The decisions on monetary
policy —- decisions which weigh
so heavily on how much you‘re
going to pay for bread, milk and
rent, or whether you’re going to
have a job or be laid off —— are
made by an arcane group within
the Fed called the Open Market
Committee.

Its members are Burns. the six
other governos, and, in rotation.
five of the 12 presidents of the
regional Federal Reserve Banks.
'l‘hese gentlemen meet monthly,
decide what the monetary policy
of the United States is going to be
and thentell no one about it. They
keep it secret. only issuing iii-
structions to another gentleman
in New York who executes their
orders. Ninety days after each

meeting they routinely release a
summary of what they talked
about. but in language so darkly
Delphic that even men who‘ve
put in a lifetime of learning about
our monetary system have
trouble figuring out what the Fed
has said it is doing. As a con-
sequence. a whole profession has
been created of people who try to
divine what-tbe-Sam Hill the Fed
is up to. They‘re the domestic
Kremlinologists of American
economics.

The reasons for the secrecy
aren’t sinister. It‘s supposed to
discourage sharp traders from
cashing in on the information;
but the rumors, tips, speculation
and purportedly inside dope
swirling about the Fed would
seem to have exactly the opposite
effect from the one intended.

HOWEVER that may be, the
nation‘s prosperity is still hugely
affected by 11 guys who nobody
has ever heard of, operating as a
committee that everybody is
ignorant of. (‘ongress can
struggle to balance the budget.
and the fruits of its fiscal
responsibility can be canceled
out by polieydecisions that aren‘t

even announced until three
months after they're made,

in this clandestine nonsense.
Burns is but following the ancient
traditions of his organization. He
isn‘t the first man to orchestrate
disaster in a closet. History
teaches us that the same kind of
secretive, well-intentioned
madness brought on the massive
bank closings of 1932-33 and the
recessinary collapse of 1937.
which prolonged the Great
Depression another dreary.
unnecessary four years.

Even now it‘s suspected
nobody outside the Fed can know
for sure ,, that our monetary
policies have been turned around
180 degrees, that the Fed is
building the foundations of a new
inflationary rush. it‘s possible
that. if the Fed made its decisions
out in the open. they‘d still make
the same mistakes. But, since the
citizenry must pay the con—
sequences. the least the Fed can
do is go public and thereby give
the rest of (is fair warning.

A quota is a quota is a quota

 

By Sidney Hook

STANFORD, Calif.——No one can
reasonably deny that shameful dis-
crimination on grounds of religion.
race. sex and national origin has oc-
curred in the past. To a lesser extent
it exists in the present.

It is apparent not only in hiring
people but in rewarding, promoting.
and retiring them.

Wherever such practices exist they
are morally wrong and should be abol-
ished. What makes them wrong is the
violation of the merit principle and
the injustices that result.

Individuals are punished for no fault
of their own but merely because of
their membership in a group. which
has nothing to do with the qualifica-
tions for the post in question and their
specific capacities to fill it.

What is the remedy? Surely not
another kind of discrimination. No one
would argue that because many years
ago blacks were deprived of their right
to vote and women denied the fran-
chise that today blacks and women
should be compensated for past dis-
crimination by being given the right
to cast an extra vote or two at the
expense of their fellow citizens or that
some white men should be barred from
voting.

Take a more relevant case. For
years. blacks were disgracefully barred
from professional sports. Would it
not he absurd to argue that today in
compensation for the past there should
he discrimination against whites?

All that black players want is to be
judged as players. not blacks. Would
any fair and sensible person try to
fix the ratio of whites and blacks on
our ball teams in relation to their ra-
cial availability?

We want the best players for the
open positions regardless of the per-

 

ccntag.‘ distribution in the general
yopulation or in the pool of candidates
trying out.

Whv should it b(' any different
when we are seeking the best-quali-
fied mathematician to teach topology
or the best medieval philosophy schol-
ar'.’ Why not drop all color. sex and

religious bars in honest quest for the
best-qualified for any post—n0 matter
what the distribution turns out to be?
Of course, the quest must be public
and not only fair but seen to be fair.
There are effective ways of doing this.
But how can we drop all extraneous.
discriminatory bars and still strive
to achieve “numerical goals" required
by guidelines of the Department of
Health. Education and Welfare?

 

 

What are involved are enforcement
procedures that the Labor Depart~
ment's office of Federal contract com-
pliance delegated to H.E.W.’s office
for civil rights. These procedures re-
quire that “numerical goals and time
schedules"———how many to hire, and
when—be established to guide hiring
of members of minorities and women
wherever their underutilization is
shown.

Indted, if we succeed in abandoning
all discriminatory practices in recruit-
ing, promotion, retirement, pay for
equal Work, why do we need “numeri-
cal goals”———unless it is asserted that
the only real proof of the abandon-
ment is the achievement of these nu—
merical goals?

The representatives of H.E.W. shy
away from the taboo word “quotas"
because they know that a quota sys-
tem is incompatible with the basic
norms 0f merit and individual justice.
They insist that a “numerical goal"
is not a quota. This is a transparent
semantic evasion. For a “numerical
goal." when selections are guided by
anything but merit, is precisely what

fact:

 

we normally mean by a quota. In
Europe. the Latin phrase numerus
clausus was used to set religious
quotas for entry into universities. It
set numerical goals.

My argument on this crucial matter
rests mainly on two simple points:
one logical, the other ethical.

If someone says to universities, “In
your hiring practices aim at a quota
of X per cent of blacks, Chicanos,
Puerto Ricans, women for your staff
within the next three years,” the
cognitive meaning of the expression
is the same as this: “In hiring, set as
your goal recruitment of X per cent
of blacks, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans,
women within the next three years."

The representatives of HEW. cons
fuse themselves and others by insist-
ing that numerical goals are not quotas

because “good-faith efforts" to achieve
the goals are “an adequate substitute
for evidence that goals have been
met.”

But this is logically equivalent to
saying that sincere, good-faith efforts
to achieve quotas are an adequate sub-
stitute for evidence that quotas have

been met. The emotive meaning may
be different but the intellectual con-
tent is the same.

The ethical point follows from the
admission by all and sundry, including
H.E.W., that quotas are wrong. For
if anything is morally wrong, then
sincere efforts to bring it about are
also wrong. If quotas are morally
wrong in filling posts in education or
elsewhere, then “sincere good-faith
efforts" to achieve them are wrong.

The best way to overcome dispro-
portions among different groups in
the \arious sectors of employment Is
to expand the opportunities and facili-
ties of education, and if necessary to
provide subsidies for those willing
and able to learn. Where persons are
evaluated for fitness to fill specific
posts. one standard for all must pre-
vail.

WASHINGTON (AP) ~Newly revealed documents identify 99
political and activist organizations investigated by a secret
intelligence gathering arm of the Internal Revenue Service during
the Nixon administration.

The IRS has refused for more than a year to name the
organizations, which include such nationally known groups as the

the Urban League and Unitarian Society.

The groups were named in more than 200 pages of documents
made public Sunday as a result of a Freedom of Information Act
suit filed against the tax agency by Ralph Nader's Tax Reform
Research Group.

The documents reveal that, contrary to repeated public denials
by the IRS. the secret Special Service Staff was set up as an

succumbed to the political pressures of the Nixon White “0- se

The documents show that even as the Special Service Staff was
being disbanded last year in the midst of the Watergate scandal.
Alexander attempted to conceal the true actiVities of the unit by
claiming it had been set up solely to investigate tax protesters and
people who refused to pay income tax.
