Blue-White game will unveil Curry’s system

By BOB NORMAN
Senior Staff Writer

After about a month of hard
work. confusion. pain and finally
a semblance of an understanding
of new head coach Bill Curry‘s
system, the UK football team will
get a chance to show everybody
what they can do.

And you can expect faster-
paced, more exciting football Sat-
urday night at the annual Blue-
White Game then you ever have
in the past. With a few kinks, of
course.

If you can't expect perfect exc-
cution (give ‘em a break, hell,
they just got off the starting
block), you can at least count on
enthusiasm.

What kind of attitude will the
team have? Let's see what Curry
has to say: “We love to play at
night. We love to play at that
time. We also love to play at day—
time. We love to play at mid
night, or at four a.m., or any time
we can up a football game.

“That is the kind of attitude we
want to bring to this squad.“

That kind of attitude, and the
kind of play it produces, has been
coming along, however gradually.
In the first intramural scrimmage

we saw a disoriented squad grop—
ing in the darkness of confusion
for some form of ﬂuidity. The
second was pretty much of the
same, with small improvements in
motion and in the quality of hits.

Then, in the third scrimmage on
April 7, the team broke through
the first phase of learning. They
didn't think so much on the field,
instead they performed. The team
hit the holes, completed the pass-
es, and overall played with vigor
and stamina. That day we got a
small indication of what the fu-
ture of UK football might hold.

And on the following Thursday,
in the final scrimmage before to-
morrow night’s game, they
reached still another level of in-
tensity. Not to mention that they
implemented a no—huddle shotgun
offense that if mastered is sure to
send opponents reeling. No. l
quarterback Freddie Maggard
went 16-18 in the new offense, as-
tonishing the media and coach
Curry alike.

So. judging from past progress,
Saturday's game will be yet an-
other new football experience for
for the UK team. The future, as
they say, is up in the air (so to

speak).

Ping—pong balls fall,
chaos reigns at POT

By MICHAEL L. JONES
Editorial Editor

What do you do when it’s raining ping-pong balls from the sky',’ This
is not an everyday question, but if you were one of over 1.5m sltlthl’lls’
in front of Patterson Office Tower for the Little Kentucky Derby Ping-
pong Drop. you know the answer. Grab.

“I expected. with the wind, for them to come right at us." said Rod
Prickett, a joumalism senior. “But they didn't and we were nearly

trampled by 2.0le people."

Some students. like Kelly Maynard. a sociology senior said that she
didn‘t know about the drop until it was right on her. litcrzillv

”l was walking out of White Hall (Classroom Building) and someone
said. ‘Hey, man the ping-pong balls are going to fall.”' she said.
“Thousands of balls were coming towards me and i had no chfllCC bttt

to grab some."

Tom Troland, an astronomy and physics professor said that \laynard
had more to fear from the crowd than the shower of ping-pong balls.

"They would be traveling at the same speed they would be if they
were dropped out of a two story budding. That‘s ltl\l because of the air
resistance," Troland said. “The terminal velocity will not let it go any

faster."

Troland said that a falling obiect can only accelerate to a certain
point. the terminal velocity, “before wind rcsrstaritc prevents any lur-
ther acceleration.“ A heavier object. such as a gold brick. would not be

affected by wind resistance. he said.

“A pingwrpong ball would not be dangerous to pcoplc it they ,verc
hit," Trolantl said. "You‘re in a tnuch better position than you would be

if it was raining cats and dogs."

Once every four years someone
runs for governor promising some
new panacea to help the state’s eco-
nomic woes.

When John Y. Brown successful-
ly ran for governor he promised to
run Kentucky “like a business."
Had that happened, Kentucky would
have gone out of business because
the state incurred big deﬁcits under
his administration.

Wallace Wilkinson ran on a tick-
et proclaiming that the lottery
would solve the state's economic
problems and that he wouldn‘t raise
taxes. The lottery, true to his word,
did create a great deal of revenue.
But when the time came to pay for
the education reform, it wasn’t the
lottery that footed the bill. Despite
his resistence to tax increases, it

was those same increases that paid
for education reform.

Now Gatewood Galbraith is run—
ning for governor, and he thinks
that he has an economic answer. He
favors legalizing marijuana and tax-
ing it at $1,000 a pound. Galbraith
predicts that it would raise $700
million for the state, as Kentucky
is one of the leading marijuana pro-
ducers in the country.

Galbraith may have found a chord
with voters. He estimates that since
1968 more than 500,000 Kentucki<
ans have smoked marijuana.

In contrast both Martha Layne
Collins and Wilkinson won the
Democratic gubernatorial primaries
with less than 225,000 votes. Gal—
braith says that even if he can get
half of those people to vote for
him, he can win.

There is a flaw with that think-
ing. Is he including everyone who
has ever experimented with marijua-
na, or just the regular users? Just
because somebody may have been
drinking and driving once, it doesn‘t

mean that they’ll vote for a candi-
date who advocates drinking and
driving.

His plan would tax farmers who
grow it at $1,000 a pound. While
he claims that there would be other
uses of marijuana besides smoking
it, the main purpose would still be
smoking it for recreational purpos-
es.

The main problem is that people
would not pay the tax. Farmers
would not report what they grow or
drastically under report their crops.

Stories of people resorting to vi-
olence and occasionally murder to
protect their pot crops are common
place. Last year two people were
killed in Madisonville, Ky., be-
cause they came across someone’s
marijuana patch. If people will re—
sort to violence, how likely are
they to pay the tax?

Another problem with legaliza-
tion is that people will grow their
crops instead of buying it from a
farmer. To collect and assess all of
those taxes, more tax collectors
will have to be hired, yet another
expenditure.

Furthermore, to accurately assess
the crops they would have to go
onto people’s property and en-
croach on their privacy. It’s odd
that something that is supposed to
increase civil liberties would actu-
ally end up curtailing them.

Beyond those problems, there are
the health hazards associated with
using pot. Among those are shon-
term memory loss, altered sensory
perception, impotence, an increased
chance of lung cancer and a wea-
kening of the body’s immune sys-
tern.

In defense of marijuana, people
argue that tobacco kills more than
pot ever will.

While tobacco kills more people
than pot every year, it is because
tobacco is smoked in longer time
periods and in greater quantities.

Researchers have been studying
the side effects of smoking cigar-

ettes for at least 50 years. There-
fore, the body of knowledge of
about the ill-effects of smoking to—
bacco is large.

Researchers didn’t start examin-
ing theill-effects of marijuana on
the body in a detailed way until the
‘70s It may be until 2025 before
we know as much about the ill-
effects of marijuana as we do about
tobacco now.

If someone smoked 20 joints a
day, as opposed to 20 cigarettes a
day, over a year the physical dam-
age caused by the marijuana would
be much greater.

If marijuana is legalized, there is
a chance of increased health and job
risks. Someone can smoke a cigar-
ette while working and not be af-
fected mentally. However, smoking
a joint on the job greatly impairs a
person's ability to do that job.

Another factor is that marijuana
frequently serves as a gateway to

other drugs.

Very few people who are addicted
to crack, cocaine and heroin started
with those drugs. Many began with
marijuana and worked their way up.

Galbraith says making marijuana
legal would take away the black
market where people have access to
those drugs. But the black market
will still exist because people will
sell the untaxed pot.

Legalizing marijuana and taxing
it would increase the coffers of the
state budget, but not nearly to the
extent Galbraith is predicting. And
It would also create more problems
than it would solve.

American dance companies will
take part in more than ()0 events
representing the history of dance in
America at the fourth Lyon Bien»

The event to be held Sept. 13 to
Oct. 6 is titled “An American Sto-
ry: A Century of Dance in the
L'nited States." The American com-

semester.

Besides choreographing and prac-
ticing the dances, the Ensemble has
been promoting the show and tak-
ing care of such production eIe~
ments as eostuming.

During the course of the even-
ing, the Ensemble will perform
seven to eight dances with an em-
phasis on jazz and modern dance.

The featured dance is entitled
“Jazz Stew: Ballet, Blues and
Burles-que."

Choreographed by Mark Wheel-
er, chair of the Dance Division at
the University of Georgia. “Jazz
Stew" incorporates three elements
of jazz to produce an elegant blues
dance.

“In that particular piece he
tried to take three elements of jazz
and combines them so you can feel
the jazz style," said Rayma Beal,
coordinator of the UK Dance En—

panies invited to perform were an
nounced Thursday at the French
Consulate by Guy Darmct. the III‘
