. Pay and training are
problems for TA's

By NANCY GWINN
Staff Writer

Because of their sheer numbers.
TA‘s are an important part of a large
university‘s structure.

They‘re depended on to guide
undergraduates through basic college
courses. The presence of TA‘s allows a
department to let professors
concentrate on higher-level classes.

Because of their necessity. it‘s
important for UK to make the
teaching assistant positions attractive
and well-paid. And although UK is
comparable to nearby schools. some
officials and assistants believe there is
room for improvement.

Most teaching assistants here earn
$3.l00 to $5.000. although their pay
can be as low as $700. All UK
departments received additional
money for TA salaries this year. in
varying amounts.

That average range is comparable to
stipends paid by other Midwest
universities. according to a study made
at Kent State University.

Although the stipend salaries look
low. most TA‘s get a break on tuition
costs. and some have tax exemptions.
Out-of-state tuition is normally
waived for UK assistants. although
some assistants in the $5.000 range are
required to pay the out-of-state fee. All
teaching assistants must pay at least
the in-state tuiton fees.

In most cases. city. state and federal
taxes are removed from the TA‘s
monthly check. But assistants in the
College of Business and Economics
are under a different system.

That college's policy is for all
graduate students to assist faculty
members in teaching and research.
said B & E faculty member David
Richardson. The TA‘s must arrange to
be paid on a “voluntary“ basis. with
taxes not deducted because the work is
required of them.

The law of supply and demand is an
important factor for departments
when they decide how much to offer
teaching assistants. Some officials
believe that UK is not competitive
enough with other schools.

Dependant upon TA's for handling
class loads. most departments actively
recruit graduate students through
advertising and mailing brochures.
said Dr. Raymond Cox. associate
dean of basic studies in the College of
Arts and Sciences.

“Some department enrollments are
very low.“ said Cox. “They have to
beat the bushes for academically
strong graduate students.“
Departments may send out brochures
and recruiting teams in search of
potential teaching assistants.

According to Sands. all tuition is
waived at about 40 percent of the
universities in the country. Several
schools in states bordering Kentucky
have this policy. including Purdue and
the University of Illinois.

“The ability to attract good TA‘s is
seriously hampered by the University‘s
policy of not waiving tuition.“ said
Robert Hemenway. director of the
English department‘s graduate studies
program.

Professor says protest trial was
’case of political oppression’

By THOMAS CLARK

Associate Editor

UK assistant professor George
Potratz. one of the II people found
guilty of disrupting CIA Director
Stansfield Turner‘s April l2 Speech at
UK. said Friday his trial was “a
travesty of justice” and “a blatant case
of political oppression."

Speaking at a press conference.
Potratz charged that the prosecution‘s
evidence was “contradictory and much
of it false.” He singled out the
testimony of Dr. Vincent Davis.
director of the U K Patterson School of
Diplomacy (which sponsored the
speech). Davis‘ testimony was
“contradicted by both (UK Dean of

Students) Joseph Burch and (UK
Police Chief Paul) Harrison.“ Potratz
said. -

A Fayette Coiinty jury found the II
demonstrators guilty last Thursday of
disrupting a public assembly. All
defendants were fined $250. and all but
one were given jail sentences varying
from 45 to 90 days.

Potratz also said that several UK
Police officers who were called to the
witness stand testified falsely.

“UK has used the law not only to
restrict our freedom of speech.” said
Potratz. “but to make an example of
us.”

Also attendingthe press conference
were the defendants‘ lawyer. Barbara
Sutherland. and defendants John

Green. Morte7a Khajehzadeh and
Ahmad Davari-nejad. Mohammad
Soumaze also attended the conference
as a representative of the Iranian
Student Association.

In a separate statement. Green said
the prosecution had twice offered light
fines to the II defendants in exchange
for entering guilty pleas. He said the
first offer was made about five months
ago. when the defendants were told the
fine would only be SIS each. The
second offer. made the day before the
trial began. lowered the fines to SIO
each.

Defense attorneys Sutherland and
Pam Goldman filed a notice of appeal
in Fayette Circuit Court following the
verdit.

Local sufferers of ragweed pollen may soon get relief

By MARY ANN BUCHART
Staff Writer

Hay fever sufferers may soon be getting
relief. said Mel Cook. pollen counter for the
environmental health division of the

tLexington Health Dept.

“The pollen count has dropped below that
considered to be a problem.” he said. The
maximum number of pollen per day this year
has been 200. In the last five days. the pollen
count has dropped from l09 to [5.

‘1 don‘t really know the reason for the early
drop.” Cook said. He added that the pollen

count doesn‘t usually drop until the first frost
or two of the season. This frost kills the
ragweed plants. keeping them from
producing any more pollen.

‘It could be that the weather has gotten
cooler. or that the plants have exhausted
themselves." Cook said. He said that the
pollen count last summer was 400 to 500.
much higher than this summer.

On the other hand. a UK researcher said
there seem to be more hay fever sufferers this
year. Dr. Louis Diamond. professor and
director of the pharmacodynamics and
toxicology division of the College of

Pharmacy. is doing research on possible cures
for hay fever and said it seems to him that
more people have hay fever this year.

The study was not done last year. so there
are no statistics to compare. but Diamond has
had a lot of people call about his study. "But
only 40 ofthem actually had hay fever. Many
people suffer from other allergies." he said.

Hay fever is an allergy to ragweed. and
Diamond said Lexington has one of the
highest concentrations of it in the US. ‘1
don‘t know the reason why Lexington has one
of the highest pollen counts.“

Cook said there are many variables
affecting the differing amounts of ragweed in
places. “Ragweed grows everywhere. except
dryer areas or areas near oceans. The wind
affects how much pollen is spread around.“

Pollen counts vary even within the
Lexington area. said Cook. Development in a
certain area may spread the pollen around. he
said. He can‘t account for the differences
between last year and this year. “There may
have been more development or different
weather conditions.“ he said.

Diamond said the number of volunteers for

his study has been dwindling. “We need a lot
more people. but we haven‘t been receiving
nearly as many calls.“

The study is being done to evaluate drugs
used in the treatment of hay fever. It is
sponsored by the Burroughs Wellcome Drug
Company of Research Triangle Park in North
Carolina.

The Federal Drug Administration requires
that drug companies test their product if it
contains more than one drug.

SERVICE ON THE l3-STATE Louisville 8: Nashville
Railroad system was returning to normal yesterday
following removal of pickets by striking railway clerks. a

The clerks removed their pickets Saturday under a federal

Most clerks work today through Friday. and L&N vice

to report for work on their next assigned shift.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND

In a report compiled for release today. the commission

black. one a clerk and the other a duplicating operator.

A number of smaller agencies remain all white. the
commisoin said in its eighth annual report on Black

THE UNITED STATES AND THE SOVIET UNION
failed to reach agreement yesterday on the remaining
obstacles blocking a new arms limitation treaty and decided
to suspend negotiations for three weeks.

Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance and Soviet Foreign

‘ Minister Andrei Gromyko met for 2" hours in an unusual

Sunday session. and both reported their discussion was
“intense and useful.”

But neither side claimed that progress was made. Officials
had expressed hope that the two countries would be able to
reach the broad outlines of an agreement during the current
round of talks. which began Wednesday.

CONGRESS apparently will not vote enough income tax
cuts this year to offset tax increases caused by inflation and
the higher Social Security withholding that takes effect in
January.

The bill approved by the House in August would leave
virtually every class of individual taxpayer turning over a
greater proportion of income to the federal government in
l979 than in I978.

The version to be debated by the Senate this week would
do better for all taxpayers. But generally. only single persons

around the SI 5.000-a-year income level and families of lour
or more earning under 520.000 would pay less taxes next
year.

Women writers need
same chance as men

Unless the issue gets completely obscured by
lowbrow snickers. the UK Athletic Associations
policy against admitting female reporters into
locker rooms is going to lead to trouble.

Normally. UK and other large universities aren‘t
too discriminating about who can come into a
locker room. Most coaches want and need publicity.
and if players that are trying to get dressed are
annoyed by the pencil-toters asking questions. well.
it‘ s just one of many necessary pressures.

Of course there has been one type ofsportswriter
barred from the havens of sweat and toil beneath the
grandstand. female sportswriters. The machoimage
of sport ends at the locker room door where basic
modesty takes over.

That was all fine and implicitly understood until
recently. when a Sports Illustrated woman writer
won a suit against the New York Yankees. who
barred her frbm going to the locker room for quotes
after last year‘s World Series. US. District Judge
Constance Baker Motley ruled that organized
baseball acted unconstitutionally in showing
favoritism toward male reporters.

Although that verdict directly applies only to
professional baseball. the impact was felt
throughout the scope of amateur and pro sports.
“It‘s my clubhouse and I can ban anyone I want."
said Cincinnati Reds manager Sparky Anderson. “I
don‘t think its‘ right that women should be in here. I
know I‘d feel funny."

UK Athletic Director Cliff Hagan said UK would
fight any effort to admit women into men's locker
rooms at UK. Presumably. UK officials are at least
as adamant about men in women is lockers rooms.

If forced by a court to treat male and female
reporters alike. all reporters would probably be
banned from Wildcat dressing rooms. and a

separate conference room would be used for player
interviews Hagan said.

Hagan s stubborn stand will not hold up in court.
if the Sports Illustrated precedent is reaffirmed.
And it should be. because the basic arguments are
valid: women have an equal right with men to be
sportswriters. and regulations which lead to unfair
competition should be recogniled as
unconstitutional. ‘

And if there‘s any field that‘s competitive and in
need offairtreatmcnt. it’s sportswriting. It‘s vital for
the reporter to get quotes and other material
immediately after the contest. because the words
and action are still fresh and there are urgent
deadlines to meet.

Women writers have the samejob that their male
counterparts have. and should be expected to be
equally professional in their conduct. A sweaty.
noisy. crowded locker room doesn‘t have much
connection with modesty anyhow. It’s hardly an
ideal milieu for voyeurs seeking titillation.

But certainly the athletes’ need for privacy
deserves consideration. too. As Reds public
relations director Jim Ferguson was quoted. “A
player has a right to dress without a women
present."

With a little planning. it‘s possible to
accommodate fairness and modesty within the same
locker room. Facilities can be designed for athletes
(of either sex) to have the option of dressing in a
private area. where no writers are allowed. or to
dress in the main locker room.

Admittedly. the presence of women into locker
rooms will be difficult for some to accept. but it can
be accomplished with minimal discomfort. Women
reporters deserve an equal chance with men not only
during the game. but after it as well.

because I agree with him. but because
his sick. narrow-minded statement
about the Iranians on trial gave me the
motivation to finally respond to the
issue ofthe Iranian movement and the
American reaction to this movement.

In short. Mr. Mann stated that the
Iranians on trial should be prosecuted
“to the full extent of the law" and
“deported as undesireable aliens" for
their "unruly protest of the Turner
speech.“

I contend that only a sick. feeble-
minded bigot could favor Turner and
anything he would have to say over the
Iranians and their protest. The logic
behind my statement is simple: Turner
stands for the CIA. the same CIA that
overthrew the Iranian government
some 25 years ago. Since then. the
living situation in Iran has gotten so
bad that thousands of Iranians have
taken to the streets in protest of the
Shah and his I’.S. controlled regime.

I ask you to think. for a moment."

that you are Iranian. You are living in
Iran. thinking exactly as you do now.
Now imagine. if you can. that things

in protest. And while you march there

The American press. relying on figures

Meanwhile. in the 11S. eight
iranians and three Americans are on
trial because they marched in defiance
of Turner and his CIA. the tool
responsible for the 25 years of terror
and bllodshcd and torture in Iran.

Now that those eight Iranian
students have been convicted. maybe
they will be deported as you would
like. Mr. Mann. And in that case. they
stand the chance to'bc tortured and

Maybe. in fact. all the Iranians will
be gone some day; perhaps the
SAVAK and the CIA will simply
snatch them away in the night. Then.

have to listen to the Iranians cry for
liberty and freedom: you will no longer

Then you can go on living the

"It is not easy having a good time if

- I )r. Frank N. Furter

Fm a while last week. I almost hada
good time. Wait. I know you‘re
skeptical; I couldn‘t believe it myself
for awhile. but it happened.

It started at Stingle‘s on Wednesday
night. with Dan Trisko telling me yes,
music can hey/uh.

It ended (as all good things must) on
Saturday night. as I sat in my car at 2
am. picking rice out of my hair.

Wednesday night was a blur.
“Music is supposed to be fun." Dan
kept saying. “that’s what we're trying
to prove. I don‘t want to say disco is
shit or anything like that but . .

. . But it is shit." David
Quisenberry would say. "It's robot
music. It doesn‘t allow any freedom of
expression. Rock and roll is fun: even
punk is more fun than disco."

“Punk was just an effort to put the
fun back in music."Trisko finally said.
“It wasjust something done by a group
of people who were tired of the same
old stuff. . . obviously it bombed. but
maybe it wasjust too much. We trying
to do the same thing have fun. And
people get off on it."

Trisko plays guitar for Eurmama. a
five-man band dedicated to the pursuit
of rock and roll as an art form and
as a way to have a good time. The band
includes Colin Boyd on drums. Brian
Hoskins on Bass and guitarists John
Cooke and Larry Pritchett. Pritchett is
also the lead vocalist.

The band‘s playlist reads like an
encyclopdia of the rock music era.
including songs by Chuck Berry. the
Beatles and the Rolling Stones. There
is nothing from the latest “Top 40.:
nothing by Peter Frampton and no
Bee Gees. In fact there is very little of
the kind of material that dance
committees usually request when they
contact an agency for a band.

“We just play rock and roll." Dan
said. “because that's the kind of music
we like. We‘ve wanted to do this from
the start. Everybody told us before we
started we'd never make it playing
rock and roll. that we‘d never get any
gigs. but people really seem to like us."

Though it was the band's first public
appearance with Cooke on guitar. they
delivered a stimulating four hours of
music St Stingle's on Wednesday

but rambunetious crowd
