Bumper to bumper

Nicholasville Road typifies Lexington’s growing traffic problem

By STEVE BALLINGER
Copy Editor

Nowhere in Lexington is the city’s
rapid growth so evident as on the
city's major streets. If Bluegrass
rush hours aren‘t as bad as the ones
in Los Angeles. the local traffic jams
are at least getting a lot of attention.

Candidates in this year’s mayoral
campaign have given much import-
ance to pledges to improve traffic
flow, often criticizing the current
administration for a lack of leader-
ship in the area. Hopefuls for the
Urban County Council. too, have
found traffic problems a major
concern in their districts.

This week, the newly-formed Task
Force on Planning will have its
initial meeting to hear two visiting
experts on community planning. An
important topic will doubtless be
how to plan for an efficient network
of streets.

How did Lexington‘s traffic situa-
tion deteriorate so much? Govern-

ment officials agree that the culprit
is the radial highway pattern here,
where major streets emanate from
the city‘s center like spokes in a
wheel.

“The problem is, in Lexington you
only have a few certain ways to get
to other parts of town,” said Bob
Kemedy, a traffic engineer with the
Lexington Planning Commission.

As the city grew outward, major
streets like 'l‘ates Creek Road and
Harrodsburg Road had to serve
more and more residents in the
expanding suburbs. The effective-
ness of New Circle Road was hurt by
extensive commercial development
on the north and east sides, a result
of shortsighted zoning policy.

Perhaps the most congested street
of all is Nicholasville Road. which
border the west edge of the UK
campus.

According to Kennedy, 40,000 cars
pas through the Nicholasville Road-
New Circle Road interchange each
day.

Recipes from Jordan

Grocery has old country flavor

By KIM YELTON
Kernel Staff Writer

Emily and Jacob Salti have been
in the grocery business in Lexington
since they emigrated from Jordan
seven years ago.

Last year they bought the Nu Way
Market on Clifton Circle, where they
sell everything from detergent to
bologna sandwiches “to go." While
itlooks like most small, fast service,
neighborhood grocery stores, Nu
Way really is not because the Saltis
brought to it a little of the old
country.

Everyday, Emily Salti prepares
lunch foods from recipes she learned

in Jordan. You are not exactly sure
what the food is, but from Emily‘s
broken English you are assured, “is
good...you try.“

One of the gastronomic delights is
a flavorful meat pie called falafil. It
is hamburger flavored with onions
and other spices wrapped in a thick
doughy bread. Hamburger never
tasted this good at the cafeteria.

She also bakes Sourian Bread and
for dessert, prepares baklava, a
special Greek dough that surrounds
nuts and other goodies dripping with
honey. These are not low-calorie
dishes, but they‘re worth aban-
doning a diet for just one day to try.

Several factors work together to
stall traffic at that location, said
Frank Mattone, planning division
director.

The “diamond“ interchange
where Nicholasville and New Circle
Roads join is a major problem. The
state highway department, accord-
ing to 9th District council member
William Ward, had a policy not to
build full Cloverleaf interchanges
because of the high cost. The
highway department also did not
foresee such a demand, said Mat-
tone.

As a result, backed-up cars some—
times block lanes when their drivers
try to change roads.

Another development, or overde-
velopment, which strangles traffic,
is the construction of shopping
centers. The Fayette and Cross
roads Malls, now flanked by large
department stores like Hills and
Gold Circle, put a large traffic
burden on Nicholasville Road.

The Saltis owned two other mar-
kets before they bought the one on
Clifton Circle. Emily says they like
Nu Way because it is in a good
neighborhood and she likes the
clientele—mostly students.

The only drawback to their loca-
tion is that business is very poor
during the four months when UK is
not in regular session.

But Emily Salti says she did not
come to America for money. She
wanted to see it because “everyone
talked about it" in the old country.

The Saltis have found life here
very different.

“It is more expensive to live,” she
said. “Insurance is high and you
have to buy it for house, car, store,
for everything.”

In Jordan, the houses are made of
stone, she explained. They will not
burn like the wooden structures in
America, so there is no need for

Jacob lend a Mideast flavor to their neighborhood grocery on Clifton

Circle. The Saltis are natives of Jordan.

insurance. The government also

pays all medical costs, so they do not

have to buy health insurance.
People work harder here too, she

adcbd. In Jordan, as a practical

nurse in Anwar, an Arab refugee
camp, Emily started work at 7:00
am. and got off at 1:30 pm.

The Saltis do not like the late hours
because they say people in this
country do not get to know each
other as well. In Jordan, everyone
got off at 1:30 and spent the rest of
the afternoon talking and visiting.

But Emily says she and her
husband like America. She became
a citizen two years ago.

“Here there is more freedom,”
she said. “You can come and go as
you want. Is good this freedom.”

'lhey might return to Jordan some
day, Emily says, but for now they
are content owning a grocery store
and fixing hamburger —Jordanian
style—for their customers.

The urban county government
briefly stopped the developers of
Gold Circle in court last year, by
trying to have the site rezoned to
prevent further development, said
4th District council member Pam
Miller.

That decision was soon reversed,
though, when a higher court ruled
that traffic should not be a basis for
zoning decisions, said Howard Gab-
bard, associate traffic engineer.

Although the new stores do not
have entrances and exits directly on
Nicholasville Road, their customers
put an additional strain on it. The
developers of Fayette Mall, said
Mattone, have cooperated with local
government in designing exits and
entrances which cause as little
congestion as possible.

Nicholasville Road must also
serve as the commuting road for
those who live at the edge of town,
and in neighboring Jessamine Coun-
ty. An estimated 2,00 to 2,500
outof—town cars use the road each
day, according to Mattone.

Closer to town, in sections mostly
residential, it is a nightmare for
people trying to get onto Nicholas-
ville Road. Council member Miller,
whose district includes a portion of
the street, is familiar with the traffic
problem and the fights to improve it.

The rebuilding of the Rosemont
Drive intersection and similar plan-
ned work at the Waller Avenue
intersection can help traffic flow,
she said, but she admits, "Nobody‘s
done enough. "

Other improvements which can
alleviate congestion. said Miller, are
staggered working hours, selected
commercial development, readjust-
ing traffic lights and better plan-
ning.

Little Kentucky Derby Week

is UK's version of the

Rites of spring

By JIM MCNAIR
Kernel Staff Writer

To help students combat the
odious combination of school and
warm weather, the Student Center
Board in 1956 devised an epicurean
holiday called the Little Kentucky
Derby (LKD).

The Derby‘s purpose, the SCB
decided, would be to unite en-
thusiastic students, teachers, ad-
ministrators, alumni and friends for
fun and excitement in the freshness
of spring while ra'sing money for a
scholarship fund for deserving UK
students.

LKD, originally one day of team
bicycle races, has expanded into a
week-long conglomeration of
competitive events—events great
for both participatns and spectator.

In its 21st year, LKD Week—April
11-16— invites competition in kite
flying, fussball, bubbleggum
blowing, ice cream eating, sub

marine sandwich eating and bicycle,
scooter, balloon and gerbil racing.

Traditionally, the most
prestigious events are the men’s
bicycle race (the Little Kentucky
Derby) and the women’s scooter
race (the Debutante Stakes).

Some organizations practice year
round getting ready for the three

and three-fourths mile race, in hopes
of taking home the gigantic trophy.

The 1977 Derby and Stakes are set
for Saturday, April 16.

Another big event is the Royalty
Contest, which traditionally features
attractive females, but is not closed
to males who consider themselves
beautiful. This event had been called
the Queen Contest, but due to male
entrants, that name has been
revamped.

LKD Week offers more than
events that deliver winners and
losers. Dames, music and festivals

will take place at different locations
throughout the week.

The Bluegrass Arts and Crafts
Festival, to be held in the Botanical
Gardens ton the north side of the
Patterson Office Tower) from April
11-13, will provide local artists the
opportunity to exhibit and sell their
work. Continuous coffeehouse en~
tertainment will make for a com-
fortable browsing atmosphere.

Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK), a
national leadership honorary, has 11
different activities in its “UK
Festival of the Arts" program, in-
cluding modern dance, two one-act
plays, oral interpretation and other
cultural shows. ODK gives students
a chance to see some of the latent
talent and artistic ability that
abounds on campus. It is scheduled
for Wednesday, April 13.

Three months before Bruno Richard Hauptmann
was electrocutcd for the Lindbergh baby kidnap-
murdcr, he wrote a bitter and poignant declaration
of innocence to his mother. Authorities feared the
letter might prove "embarrassing" and never

has been discovered among the private papers of a
former warden of Trenton State Prison. “My God,

Hauptmann wrote.

Library thieveries
endanger system

One of the foundations of American democracy
is slowly being nibbled away. And so-called
scholars are largely to blame. The scholars have
been pilfering UK libraries and, in so doing, they
are chipping away at a fundamental element of
democracy—cheap and easy access to in-
formation.

The Founding Fathers realized that only an
informed public could make intelligent
decisions, so freedom of the press was the First
Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Benjamin
Franklin carried this tenet one step further by
establishing the first library in America so that
any person regardless of position or wealth could
partake of the knowledge of the ages.

But now we are being robbed of that privilege.
Last August, workers at the M. 1. King Library
conducted an inventory to estimate the library’s
losses. The results were discouraging.

According to Ed O‘Hare, head of collection
development, of the total 1.4 million University
book holdings, 5.6 per cent of a random sample of
70,000 books were missing.

What makes matters worse is that more than
half of the missing books are irreplaceable. The
few books that can be replaced will cost about
$15,000.

Howe ver. this figure doesn’t include the cost of
replacing magazines and newspapers that have
been mutilated. Although there are no exact
figures on the number of lost articles, O’Hare
said ripping out articles is a common practice.

”Psychology is a very mutilated area.
Abortion, the Loch Ness monster, the Bermuda
Triangle, child abuse, you name it, and if there’s.
a lot of interest init, you’ll find people ripping out
the articles," O'Hare told Kernel columnist
Bruce W. Singleton.

Replacing these lost articles is a costly and
time consuming process. And in some cases,
because of the new copyright law chich prohibits
certain types of photocopying, the articles may
be impossible to replace.

Currently, the library spends more than
$80,(l)0 a year repairing books that have
deteriorated from normal wear and abuse. This
figure also includes binding periodicals, serials
and purchasing new paperbacks.

Because of the rising cost of replacing and
repairing books and magazines, the library is
being forced to microfilm and microfische more
and more material.

Library officials are also contemplating in-
stallation of an expensive electronic detection
device which would make book stealing almost
impossible. The “tattle tape system,” which is
used in the Medical Center library, would cost
$50,000 for just the main library. In addition,
there would be ongoing operation costs to treat
each book for detection.

All these elaborate precautions are becoming
necessary because faculty members and
students, supposed scholars in search of truth,
are stealing information. It is a crime that has
serious implications for the future.

For one thing, persons are being deprived of
information that may be vital to their research.
But the most serious implication is the effect that
stealing will have on the concept of libraries.

Libra ries cannot continue to lend books free of
charge while constantly being forced to install
more and more expensive equipment. Nor can
libraries afford to purchase huge amounts of new
material when a large chunk of the budget is
used to replace and repair old material.

As a result, the concept of free libraries may
be endangered.

Ray Bradbury, in his book Farenheit 451 ,
imagined a future society where books were
considered evil and were therefore burned.
Bradbury’s nightmare may be coming true, but
in a way that he never imagined. What dictators
and demagogues have been unable to ac-
complish we’re doing to ourselves.

If free libraries fail, it will be a serious blow to
democracy. As the cartoon character Pogo once
said, “We have met the enemy, and they is us.”

Consider the following two events,
each of which occurred this
academic year:

—Last fall, after almost a year of
work by some concerned students,
the University Senate passed a
measure which removed
denotations of pass-fail students on
class mils. Professors no longer

inform them, who is taking their
courses on a pass-fail basis.

Furthermore, the argu—

Cancer causation by a
chemical at any dosage in
laboratory animals is a warn-

absence of cancer in another
strain or species does not
prove the chemical safe;
positive evidence is not nulli-
fied by negative evidence. A
test of saccharin yielding no
cancer in monkeys does not
eliminate the danger to man
indicated by cancer in rats.

We ignore cancer-causation
in animals at our peril. The

Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
(FDA) in 1958 (named for
Representative James J.
Delaney of Queens) recogni-

The amendment states
thet the FDA must bar from
the market any food additive
found to cause cancer in

luman or animal. It wisely
allows no human discretion
based on dosage in admini-
stering the Act, since there is
no valid scientific basis for
such discretion.

We should support the FDA
when it upholds this law—in
banning saccharin, it invoked
the Delaney clause because
the artificial sweetner had
been found to cause malig-

Library opens paperback room

By MARY ANN BUCHART
Kernel Reporter

The M. 1. King Library
opened a new Paperback
Readirg Room Thursday fill-
ed with popular books dealing
with everything from dieting
toyoga.

David Farrell, director of
the rare book collection, said
the collection will be con-
stantly growing on the libra-
ry’s fifth floor in what was
formerly the library’s Rare
BookRoom.

UK President Otis Single-
tary attended the opening of
the browsing room and said
he had proposed the idea to
organize such a room to
library administrators last
fall.

“I do have somewhat of a
proprietary interest.” he
said. “It looks great, I‘m very
favorably impressed.”

Farrell said the browsing
room is aimed at satisfying
student requests for an addi-
tional lounge area. The pa-
perback collection was select-
ed for more leisurely and
recreational reading, he said.

“Despite the difficulties
that students may have in
finding the room, I hope that
they’ll make good use of it,”
Farrell said.

The room is furnished with
overstuffed chairs and also is
equipped to handle art exhib-
its. 'l‘he present exhibition is a
collection of silk screens by
Grace Perreiah.

they're announced and this
