Campus becoming open-minded,
says Marine Corps recruiter

By WILLIAM PATTERSON
Kernel Reporter

Lt. Dick Roten, US. Marine Corps
recruiting officer for Lexington is on
campus this week looking for “a few
good men." “The slogan is based on
the fact that the Marine Corps is the
smallest of the services and tries to
recruit the best men available to
form a tight-knit group," said Roten.

A native of Conn, Lt. Roten
enrolled at the University of
Colorado in 1970 and graduated in
1974. He received his commission as
an officer in the Corps the day of
graduation. Roten served with the
Ninth Marines in the Far East
before moving to Lexington last
month.

There has been a change in
campus attitudes toward military
recruiters since he entered college.
“The biggest change is that at-
titudes are freer. Students are in—
terested in different opportunities
and not limited by peer pressure,"
he said. “Students. faculty, and
administrators are interested in
having a campus that is a free and
open place. where different ideas
exist." according Roten.

Campuses seem to be more free

high school press day Saturday

By MARK BROWNING

This Saturday hundreds of potent-
ial Woodwards and Bernsteins will
be filtering across the UK campus.
The Kentucky High School Press
Association is holding its annual
High School Press Day here, spon-
sored by the UK school of journal-
ism.

A wide variety of sessions will be
offered from 8 am. to 3 pm.
including year-book layout and de-
sign work, advertising. photography
work and practical newswriting
experience.

Robert Trager. assistant profes-
sor and head of graduate studies in
journalism at Southern Illinois Un-
iversity in Carbondale will give the
keynote address at Memorial Hall at
9 am. according to Nancy Green,
student publications adviser. Trager
is a known authority on student

SG Resolution may prove

By KI-IITll SHANNON
Kernel Staff Writer

The Student Senate Monday night
passed a resolution which. accord-
ing to some senators, may be
nothing more than an exercise in
futility. Others, however, seem to
think the resolution could affect
student conduct at future athletic
events.

In a resolution entitled. “The UK
Student Code of Sportsmanship."
the Student Government (80) en-
dorsed a set of sportsmanship
guidelines which were originally
adopted by the UK Student Associa-
tion in 1950.

SG further resolved to send a copy
of the guidelines to the UK athletic
department. despite the fact that
one of the senators said he originally
read them in a UK basketball
program last year.

The code itself consists of six
sections in which 86 pledges to

Craig Ammerman. chief of the New
York bureau of the Associated
Press; Dana Andrews. publications
coordinator at Indiana University-
Southeast, New Albany; Mary Ben-
edict. publications adviser at Indi<
ana University, Bloomington; Dr.
Louis Englehart, chairman of the
journalism department at Ball State
University, Muncie, Indiana, and
Whitney Babcock, a Louisville ad-
vertising executive.

Green and visiting assistant pro-
fessor of journalism. Joyce Adams
are coordinating the day‘s events
which will be held on a Saturday for
the first time. Green said there was
an increased problem for teachers to
take their students out of classes.
and added that classroom and
parking space are crucial problems
if the day is held during the week.
Green expects things to run more
smoothly with the event held on
Saturday.

“Also for the first time this year. a
writing contest based on the content
of Dr. Trager‘s speech will be held.

support UK athletic teams. promis-
es to urge respectful conduct at
athletic events and invites all stu-
dents to unite in support of the code.

No real action is taken in the bill
because it is a resolution and can
only recommend. Nonetheless. the
sponsor of the resolution. Steve
Petrey, engineering senator. thinks
the bill has a very useful purpose.

"We did it to make students think
about the purpose of athletics.“ he
said. “The idea of athletics is to
promote interaction." The interac-
tion, he said. has been replaced by a
“kill" attitude.

Petrey said he is sometimes
appalled by the conduct of fans at
athletic events. “Our rivalry with

'Tennessee borders on insanity some

times," he said. His resolution
probably will not, he said. change
the conduct of the students: it will
merely let students know that 86
endorses “sportsmanlike conduct"
atthegames..

The students will be under: deadline
pressure as they write their reports
of the speech,“ said Green.

An electric typewriter will be
awarded to the person who writes
the best story. she said. An electric
typewriter will also be awarded for
the best project in layout and design
among yearbook students.

High,school advisers will have the
opportunity to get continuing ed-
ucation credits by attending the
workshop, explained Green. “The
courses for advisers act as refresher
courses and can be instrumental in
future salary increments.“ she said.

The journalism faculty from UK
and several other Kentucky univer-
sities will be present. Staff members
from Louisville and Lexington news-
papers are also expected to be in
attendance.

Members of the Kentucky Kernel
staff will also be on hand to tell the
high school students about what it is
like to work on a college newspaper
staff.

Another senator, Marion Wade.
Arts and Sciences. said he supports
the resolution, but that, as resolu-
tions go. it isn‘t one of SG's better
efforts.

He said resolutions are mainly for
the purpose of letting certain author-
ities know “how students feel" on a
matter. In a case where SG can send
the resolution to a mayor. police
department or city council. the
purpose may be better fulfilled than
in the case of the sportsmanship
resolution.

But on the other hand. Wade said.
"If that resolution encourages one
student to stop throwing orange
peels at a ball game. it was worth
it."

Another interpretation is given to
the resolution by Nancy Daly. Social
Professions senator. When the reso
lution was being discussed at Tues-
day‘s meeting. Daly called it “kind
of a farce.

“It was a total waste of time," she

and open than in the late 60‘s and
early 705. “About the time of Kent
State and the heat-up of the Vietnam
War, we had several demonstrations
here at UK,“ said James Alcorn,
Director of the Placement Office.
“The first disturbance was a sit-in at
the placement office protesting the
presence of the recruiting officer for
the Defense Intelligence Agency,"
said Alcorn. Two other demon-
strations were held against Dow
Chemical Company. the makers of
Napalm and Bethlehem Steel over
their strip mining policies, said to
Alcorn.

During this period “young men
and women didn‘t want to be seen in
public discussing a military
career." said Alcorn. Lt. Roten feels
he has gotten a good response at UK.
Students do not seem to be afraid or
feel pressured to stop by and ask
questions, he said.

Roten views the movements of the
late 60's and early 70‘s as an attempt
“to tell students what they should
do." Things have changed. “We are
here as an option. The Marines are
not for everyone and everyone is not
cut out to be a Marine." he said.

Roten is on campus promoting the
Corps‘ Platoon Leaders Class
(PLC). This is a program designed
to allow the student to pursue his
college education in a normal set.
ting. “Students don‘t want to cut
their hair, wear a uniform and at-
tend drill.“ according to Roten. The
PLC program .lets the student
remain a civilian during the
academic year and attend Marine
training camp during the summer.

“We want the best possible college
graduates," said Roten. He believes
that society prefers officers who
were educated as civilians, and not
taught solely under a military
curriculum.

Because the Marines are the
nation‘s readiness force and are
deployed around the world, it is a
great opportunity to travel, ac-

We goofed

Because of a reporting error, a
story in Wednesday‘s Kernel
("University offices provide aid for
off-campus housing seekers")
created a false impression.

The story stated that two land-
lords who regularly list with the
Off Campus Housing Office are
“notorious for not retuming security
deposits." The reporter incorrectly
inferred that the landlords were the
Graves Brothers.

futile

said. “It‘s a kind of a comical thing
that people may laugh at when they
see."

Jim Elder. engineering senator.
said the value of the resolution lies in
the fact that it “lets outsiders know
how Student Government feels on
the matter.“ As far as changing the
conduct of students at athletic
events. though. Elder said it doesn‘t
“have any value whatsoever.

“If it‘s put in the sports program.
not many people will read it." he
said. “What people do read it will get
a few ‘jollies‘ from it."

Jim Newberry. Arts and Sciences
senator, thought that the bill “had
some good points,“ but he said the
discussion over the bill was not
necessary.

“It is not worth the time the
Student Government spent debating
it," he said. “It‘s probably not worth
the time the Kernel will spend
printing about it."

cording to Roten. “The Marines
provide the security force for every
US. embasy around the world,“ he
said.

“A lot of people think we want
them to drop out of school and go to
Paris Island for Training. We prefer
to work with people in their fresh-
man year and evaluate them
throughout their college career,“
said Roten. The PLC program is just
a mears of having a career after
graduation, he said. “The program
is just like an insurance policy. It‘s a
job after graduation with a chance
for advancement. A person is not
obligated until he accepts his
commission on graduation day. said
Roten.

The PLC has several other op-
portunities for qualified students
according to Roten. “We provide
financial aid just like ROTC after
the freshman year if the person is
sure he wants to be a Marine.

“We offer the highest starting pay
of any of the services for people who
have been in the PLC program.

Their four years in college count as
if they were in military service so we
can start people at $2,000 a year

LT. DICK ROTEN
...would like Marine leaders with
civilian education.

more than anyone else," said Roten

The strongest point of the
program, according to Roten is that
the student goes back to college
after each summer and can think
about the Marine experience ulid
evaluate it for himself. If the student
decides to withdraw from the.
program he can do so at any time

Health service and

Med center will give

flu shots in November

By FRANKLIN RENFRO
Kernel Reporter

The Student Health Advisory
Committee (SHAC), in its first
meeting this year, reported that
swine flu vaccinations for UK
students will be conducted by the
Lexington-Fayette Co. Health Dept,
the UK Health Service, and the UK
Medical Center.

President of SHAC, Rosemary
Lubeley, said, “The Health
Department is going to set up
facilities in Memorial Coliseum. The
Health Service is going to take care
of the other end of campus."

“The Medical Center will also be
providing vaccinations 'to people
who feel it is more convenient to
them," said Jean Cox, health ser-
vice administrator. “We are told by
the Health Department that the
vaccinations will be given early in
November. We will be giving the

vaccinations wide publicity well‘

before they begin."

Members of SHAC are still un-
certain of the vaccination
procedures. “We still aren’t sure
what kinds of forms the students will
have to fill out,“ said Lubeley. “Our
duty is to explain the forms to people
just to expedite the procedure of flu
vaccines.“ According to Lubeley.
studmts would be questioned about
past or present allergies and
illnesses.

“Even though I‘m a layman I
know that a person who is allergic to
eggs can't take the flu shot since the
vaccine is made from an egg
culture," said Cox. “Since the swine
flu caused such a widespread
epidemic years ago, no one‘s taking
a cm nce. [think the danger is real. I
don‘t think they would have spent
that many millions if it wasn’t."

Another matter SHAC discussed
was the possiblity of a write-off
health fee. “The way it is now,“ said
Lubeley, “a student encloses a $12
check for the health fee in addition to
the tuition. The way we're proposing
is when a student pays his tuition he
can mark on a card if he doesn‘t
want the health fee. but if he fails to
mark the health fee off, then it is

automatically added to the tuition."

UK is one of only a few univer-
sities that do not include the health
fee with the tuition. she said. SHAC
is trying to decide whether students
would object to a health fee write
off.

Jack Blanton, vice president of
business affairs, said, “I‘m not in
favor of a negative check-off. No
way [would agree to that. I‘m not in
favor of a student havingto check off
what he doesn't want before paying
his term bill.”

Blanton said high on his priorities
is a stream lined way of paying all
fees. “It will be only the basic term
bill and the student can say ‘yes I
want housing. I want a parking
sticker, I want a health fee in—
cluded.’ The student would pay for
these things only as the student
wanted them in there."

Blanton said there would be no
way UK could institute this
procedure without computer
assistance, which would take more
money. He said it would probably be
from three to five years before this
procedure could go into effect.

SHAC also considered trying to
encourage students through the
Independent Student Program (ISP)
to become involved in the Health
Service. Lubeley said, “This would
not only benefit the student. but
SHAC too.“

Through ISP one girl from ac—
counting reviewed the Student
Health Service budget. She
suggested how they could categorize
the budget more efficiently. Another
studait in journalism made a slide
show about what a student should do
after developing an illness. Cox said
students interested in the program
should contact her.

County deputies needed

for voter registration

Interest in open elections. a basic foundation of
the American system, is dying. The percentage
of persons registered and voting, from all socio-
economic classes, has dipped well below the 50
per cent mark.

And recently, concern has been voiced over a
loss in support for the Republican Party. Since
competitive political parties traditionally bring
out the vote, the GOP’s decline is a significant
factor in lowering the percentage of American
voters.

The downhill trend in the voting percentage
raises serious questions about our political
system. Therefore. one would expect govem-
ment at all levels to initiate strenuous efforts to
get out the vote.

Clearly, this isn‘t happening in Lexington.

County (‘lerk Charles Scotty Baesler says
he can't muster enough deputies to supervise
voter registration at the University.

Since presence of deputies is required.
registration efforts by the Young Democrats
~‘YDi at [K ended after two days. One hundred
students registered. This doesn‘t compare
favorably with some 300 that Student Govern-
ment Sci) alone registered last year.

liven that figure is relatively insignificant for
a community of more than 20,000 persons.

SG‘s effort to open registration booths was
aborted because Baesler couldn‘t spare the
deputies. Both the YD‘s and SG might have been
able to establish a concerted registration effort
had they planned earlier.

But the real fault seems to center with the
shortage of personnel at the county clerk’s of-
lice. Baesler says he needs all deputies at the
clerk}; office to process registrations for
shiprltiiii to Frankfort.

Furthermore, registration at the University is
even more important because of students
transient status. Away from home, students in
many cases aren‘t aware that they can vote in
Lexington. This fact points out a need for voter
education. through publicity.

Ganan Wilson

Students can still register at the county clerk’s
office, and indeed they should. But the voting
record from this community would be greatly
improved by registration on campus.

An excellent suggestion, offered by SG
Political Affairs Chairman Jim Newberry, is
regular assignment of a clerk’s deputy to
campus. Baesler said he was receptive to the
idea. ’

Obviously, this is a case of a good idea coming
too late to change the present situation. But by
next fall, if campus groups and clerks office
communicate more effectively, perhaps
Lexington can meet its obligation to support
voter registration.

Deadend street

Although l have enjoyed watching
the misery of others, when it comes
to being forced to backtrack, I think
it is abort time to stop. What I am
referring to is when cars go down
Hilltop Avenue to what they think is
Rose Street, only to find it turn into a
parking garage. Here the driver
must maneuver his car into a
complete abort-face.

The faces of the drivers range
from a mild disgust to a furious
rage. Sometimes it is almost
comical. Once, I saw a motorcyclist
decide that the curb was no barrier
and go right over it and onto Rose
Street. The time I recall most often
was last year after the Tennessee
game when nine chartered buses
from Knoxville made the fatal
mistake and like “follow the
leader,“ all nine were past thhe
point of no retum before they
realized their mistake. Can you
imagine nine buses, trying to turn
around on that one little piece of
dead-end road? It was quite a sight.

Although these are only two
examples, I am sure the mistake is
made dozens of times a day. What I
suggest is a simple sign up by
Columbia saying either “DEAD
END" or “NO OUTLET.” Even
though I have had this pleasure for
sometime, I think it is about time to
end.

KYSPIRG failure

The reason KYSPIRG (Kentucky
Student Interest Research Group)
died last year was not funding
failure and student apathy, as
reporter Marie Mitchell leads her
story (Student support dies;
KYSPIRG bites the dust, Sept. 21).

Carlton Currens, former
president, said students “never fully
understood what KYSPIRG was all
about." Maybe Currens never un-
derstood even partly what students
are about. At a KYSPIRG meeting
in the Student Center last fall,
Currens presided over a dozen
members by sitting with his back to
them ard talking in a monotone.
How does he expect students to know
what KYSPIRG is about?

Currens just was not the dynamic
leader a group like KYSPIRG
needed. The issues with which
PlRGs across the country are
concerned —environment, housing,
consumer protection ~are issues
that concern UK students. The
reason KYSPIRG died last year was
not funding failure and student
apathy, it was the inefficiency and
incompetence of KYSPIRG
organizers.

A petition campaign that would
result in the negative check-off

funding request to the Board of
Trustees failed because KYSPIRG
organizers didn‘t do their jobs. As
Dr. Robert Zumwinkle said, the
funding request was never made, so
KYSPIRG remained unfunded
because of its own failure to educate
UK students and collect signatures.

Even when KYSPIRG received a
$200 handout last fall from the
Student Senate, neither the planned
tenant handbook nor the film series
materialized. Why not? (‘urrens said
KYSPIRG lacked manpower and
time; he sure has an excess of ex-
cuses.

Problems that KYSPIRG should
be tackling —like ripoffs by land-
lords and unfair pricing in grocery
stores ——directly affect UK students.
KYSPIRG could have worked
through academic departments and
programs (like Experiential
Education) to attract students and
accomplish their grandiose plans for
lobbying, litigation, exposes,
hearings and citizen action.

But KYSPIRG never even gave
funding the old college try. Yet
Currens is trying to blame
KYSPIRG’s demise on student
apathy. That‘s the kind of circular
reasoning and doubletalk that
PlRGs were created to uncover.

Under-par waves

1 think it‘s about time someone
commented on the under-par waves
of WKQQ. Now don‘t get me wrong, I
really enjoy the tunes QQ is putting
out. I think it's great that Lexington
has an FM station directed toward
the good rockers of the Bluegrass.
But the format of production leaves
something to be desired.

As a Lexington native l have
listened to WKQQ since it hit the air
two years ago. Since then, QQ is still
leaving gaps of radio silence
periodically within the daily
broadcast. These silent moments
are both irritating and confusing to
listeners. Irritating because nobody
wants to hear a host of nothings; and
confusing because those who switch
on the old audio box never know if
the problem is with the station or in
the receiver.

Another fault of Q is its taped
intros to songs which often are

0'0

matched wrongly. One never knows
if the cut being played is actually
from led Zeppelin‘s new album or
Bob Dylan‘s greatest hits. And, even
worse, someone might hear a track
he really likes, then run out and buy
the album, only to find the music is
totally different from what he
previously heard.

The greatest error, I believe, is in
the quality d tapes being broad-
casted. From wear and tear, I
presume, some cuts seem muffled or
stifled. The clarity isn‘t half as good
as playing the same tune on a tum-
table. I often find myself switching
stations to WLAP, simply because it
sounds better. I’d rather suffer
through good-sounding disco than
not—sogood rock.

In a station as popular as QQ, it
can‘t afford to make such blatant
mistakes It seems a shame that it
does occur.

This year‘s first issue was
recently placed on the news stands
and contains an in-depth interview
with Coach Fran Curci. Other
features include an article on the

he's a l'K graduate. age 2‘.)

Robert is not a patient with an
ordinary medical problem he's a

hemophihac. Since Aug. 28, Robert‘s
body has used more than 900 units of
blood. Each one of them has been
instrumental in relieving a tremen-
dous blood loss in Robert in the wake
of his recent artifical hip replace-
ment operation.

I'nbelievable as it may seem. 900
units of blood is not enough for
Robert Aiiiyx. He needs more. As of
this writing. at least 700 more
units are needed to keep Robert
alive long enough for doctors to stop
the bleeding that can rack his body.

This is where we. the students of
the l'niiei'sity. come into the
picture

According to the latest figures.

there are about 20.500 of us enrolled
in school on this campus. Seven
hundred pints coming from that
number means that slightly less
than three and one-half per cent of
the student body would have to give
in order to get the desired result.

Such a paltry percentage tempts
one to think, of course. that someone
else will see that the task is done.
Just as naturally, nothing could be
further from the truth. Individual
persons must do this job. and I am
confident that we can.

I want to try to keep the ball
rolling on this project by using the
basic telethon method of raising
money: The Challenge.

Pursuant to that. I hereby chal-
lenge Bruce Singleton and Jim
Harralson. Kernel columnists, and

Suzanne Durham and Steve Ballin-

ger, copy editors. to give a pint of
blood (if the doctor says it‘s OK) for
Robert Amyx.

It doesn‘t matter what your blood-
type is. Only a certain chemical.
found in all blood, is needed for this
patient.

1 don't know Robert personally.
but I do know he faces a critical
medical situation that can be rem-
edied, at least in part, by our
immediate collective efforts. This
problem presents a situation where
our actions will really make a
difference. for once. This time, we

just can‘t say, “I can‘t do anything
about it.“

You can give blood to save a life by
doing any of a number of things. The
Central Kentucky Blood Center will

addition, the center. located at 731

Candidates ﬁnish preparing I

for today ’3 television debate

Associated Press

The two men who put their
images and ideas on the line
Thursday in the first
presidential debate of 1976
spent the final hours studying
their thick briefing books.
Behind Gerald Ford and
Jimmy Carter are weeks of
preparation. The stakes are
high.

The setting is a
Philadelphia theater nearmg
the end of its second century;
the televisim audience is a
nation of voters mindful that
a similar first encounter in
1960 was credited with
helping elect John F. Ken-
nedy.

Found at the pole

There was a coin flip
Wednesday to determine who
receives the first question.
Democrat Carter won.

His aides proclaimed, on
debate eve, that Carter’s own
poll shows him leading Ford
in states with 440 electoral
votes, 170 more than needed
for election.

Ford’s perple, too, read
good news in the pre-debate
sampling although it was
made by Patrick Caddell,
Carter’s public opinion
analyst.

“It would appear that Mr.
Caddell‘s poll verifies that
we're closing the gap over the
nation, but the only poll that
is going to count is the one

Viking ﬁnds water

PASADENA. Calif. [APl -
Viking ll’s mother ship has
discovered that a polar ice-
cap on Mars is made of
water-ice and that water has
apparently flowed on the
planet‘s surface in rivers and
streams, scientists said Wed-
nesday.

The findings contradicted
earlier suspicions that both
Mars' ice caps are composed
of frozen carbon dioxide gas,
and added support to theories
that conditions necessary for
life may have existed at some
point in the history of the red
planet.

Crofton B. Farmer, an at-
mospheric scientist for the

w Jet Propulsion Laboratory,

called the discovery of large
quantities of water on Mars'
northern polar icecap “an-
other shred of evidence" that
conditions once were suitable
there for existence of life
forms.

However. he and other
space scientists added that
the findings do not prove the
present or past existence of
life on Mars.

“1 think this shows a much
stronger possibility for past
life on Mars than for present
life," said Farmer,

“What we have found is
that the northern polar icecap

is composed predominately
— probably totally — of
water-ice, and there is very
little carbon dioxide ice.“

A separate but related gas
experiment showed for the

that will be taken in
November," said Ford
campaign spokesman

William Greener.

Greener referred to Gallup
and Harris polls in August
showing Ford trailing Carter
by 23 and 29 percentage
points respectively and noted
that that the Caddell poll
showed Ford trailing by less
than five points in states with
about 120 electoral votes, five
to 10 points in states with 160
electoral votes and by more
than 10 points in states with
more than 160 electoral votes.

The debate is considered so
important that the training
methods of the contestants
became a matter of scrutiny.
