SG executives receive scholarships

Senate votes to include freshman

By BRIDGET McFARLAND
Staff Writer

A constitutional amendment
allowing freshmen to serve as senators
passed the Student Government
Senate last night by a two-thirds vote.
(The amendment takes effect in ID
days.) Billy Bob Renner. SG vice-
president. told the senate the two
freshmen would be selected by a
special election as soon as possible.

Renner said he hoped the special
elections committee would select an
election date within the next several
weeks. In the same election. senators
for the College of Denistry. the
College of Social Professions and the
Graduate School will also be selected.

Renner said the College of Denistry
failed to elect a senator during last
spring‘ s election and senators from the
College of Social Professions and the
Graduate School have been purged
from the senate for failing to attend

meetings.

Special elections are very similar to
general elections. Renner said. College
computer printouts will be used to
insure voters are registered students.
Voting tables will be located in the
college building the senator is being
elected from. Freshmen voting tables
will probably be located in the
freshmen dorms and King library.

During his opening report. Renner
reminded the senate that from the
$6,137 senate appropriation budget.
only $665 was left. Money from the
senate appropriation budget is used
for supporting and sponsoring student
services. Examples of these services
are voter registration and blood
drives.

After the meeting. Renner
explained some money will eventually
be put back In the budget. He said il no
loss is incurred from the SG and
Student Center Board jointly
sponsored homecoming dance. $500
will be returned. Also. he said money
appropriated for various services is

senator-at-large. told the senate the
political affairs committee registered
350 students. faculty and
administrators during its voter
registration drive. "This is almost
exactly a I00 percent increase over last
years drive." Gunnell said.

Peggy O‘Mera. nursing senator.
said that during the recent student
services committee‘s blood drive. 79
people donated blood. “It was a very

good drive. the (Central Kentucky)
blood center is ecstatic." O‘Mera said.

In other business. a bill
appropriating $50 to advertise a
student affairs committee "Gripe
Session” met strong opposition from
the senate. Several senators protested
spending the money because. in the
past. “Gripe Sessions" have failed to
draw attendance in spite of
advertising.

Mark Metcalf. senator-at-large and
sponsor of the bill. told the senate that
“Gripe Sessions“ were important
because they allowed students to meet
with University officials and members
of SG. He added that few students are
aware the University is willingto listen
to students' gripes and problems.

The senate passed the bill after the
student affairs committee agreed to
take attendance at the “Gripe Session“
for future reference.

The prisoners were released from

UK assistant professor George
Potratr was the first out. at just past 6
p. m. The crowd burst Into applause as
he stepped out from beneath the gate.
He received hugs and handshakes
from his attorneys and then from

As Potratz and the other prisoners
were released. they were introduced to
Smiley and his wife.

“I‘m sorry it took so long.“ Smiley
told one of them.

One of the prisoners. Ahmad Nejad.
saidISmiley‘s act was “just beautiful —~
I don‘t have words to say how I feel “

One Iranian student said the posting
of the bond can be seen as a victory
beyond the freeing of the students.

“It‘s also a victory for (us) having
such American friends." he said.

Of the ten days in jail. Nejad said.
“In my country you always hear about

Smiley called the convictions "a
miscarraige of justice.“ “Whether
these people are right or wrong. I don‘t

“I‘ m really ashamed of Kentucky

family to turn to for help. appealed to
her as a parent.

“You just think. What ifit was your

could happen." she said.

Smiley called the demostrators case
“a little ol‘ misdemeanor“ and he said
he thought Judge Paul Gudgel. who
presided over the case. should have

Polish cardinal chosen
to be Pope John Paul II

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The
cardinals of the Roman Catholic
Church yesterday elected 58-year-old
Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla as
pope. the first non-Italian in 455 years
to lead the ancient. 700 million-
member church.

He took the name John Paul. the
same as his predecessor.

Wojtyla. the little-known
archbishop of Krakow. is the 263rd
successor to the Throne of St. Peter.
The election of a prelate from a
communist nation will doubtlessly
have vast repercussions on relations
between Rome and the East bloc.

White smoke. the traditional signal
that a new pontiff is chosen. billowed
into the night from the Sistine Chapel
at 61l8 p.m. (l:l8 pm. EDT). “It is
offical. the pope is elected" the
Vatican radio proclaimed”.

The Ill cardinal-electors. meeting
for the second time in two months to
select a pontiff. made their decision in
the second day of voting in their secret
Sistine Chapel conclave. It came on
what was apparently the seventh or
eighth ballot.

Despite its offically atheistic
government. Poland is one of the
world‘s most faithful Catholic
countries. Wojtyla has a good working
relationship with the communist
government of Poland and has not

been as outspoken in criticizing the
government as the primate of Poland.
Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski.

The new pope was born on May I8.
I920. in Wadowice. Poland. the son of
a chemical factory worker. He was
elevated to cardinal II years ago by
Pope Paul VI and is a member of
several Vatican congregations ._
Sacraments and Divine Worship.
Clergy and Catholic Education.

He studied philosophy and theology
at the seminary in Krakow and after
his ordination went to Rome to take
courses in philosophy at the
Angelicum College. where he earned
his doctorate in I948.

After his return to Poland. which
coincided with the rise of the new
communist government. he worked
under severe restrictions as parish
assistant in his archdiocese of Krakow.

In an interview on Italian television
just before the conclave. he said. “We
try to be always close to the people. We
try to be always close to the people. We
share their worries. This creates
confidence and it is the indispensable
condition to fulfill our duty and our
mission."

The last non-Italian pontiff was
Dutchman Adrian VI. who reigned in
|522-23.

Wine connoisseurs cringe at names

But in the liquor store — racks and

California's Napa Valley companies

Chablis (dry) is $2.l9. Christian

Plenty of books about wine are

Passed, not uncompromised Rots 1Teiizltlblll Dale

Congress completed action on two major items of
legislation this weekend. with the final versions
showing the effect of drastic compromises. 'Ihe
$l8.7 billion tax reduction bill and a weakened
energy plan are Washington‘s answers to major
problems facing the country today.

The tax reduction package is several billion
dollars less than an earlier version. In that bill.
legislators hustled to include special interest tax bills
for particular businesses and friends back home.

Little more than an excuse for raiding the federal
treasury. it became obvious that the bill wouldn‘t
make it through the White House. The final
document doesn‘t include some of the more odious
items. including the wasteful tax-credit-Ior-tuition
measure. which also was eliminated.

President Carter‘s energy program is
substantially different than it was w hen introduced.
and many of its elements have been weakened
considerably.

The program is an effort to save energy. spur

domestic production and cut down foreign oil
imports. To do so. it gradualy lifts price controls on
natural gas. offers incentives for energy
conservation. and encourages industry to switch
from gas and oil to more abundant coal.

Congress rejected many of the things Carter‘s
plan called for. such as the major tax proposals on
industrial oil and gas users. The bill does provide
low-level encouragement at conservation. such as
subsidies for insulating homes. loans for purchasing
energy-saving equipment and loans for installation
of solar energy systems.

The revised energy program that Congress
approved last weekend is a start toward giving the
United States some stability in its energy resources.
But with consumption of gasoline and imports of
foreign oil still at uncomfortably high levels. the new
remedies may be not enough to lead America to
energy self-sufficiency. or to give hope for a future
independent of pressure from the Middle East:
suppliers.

’New wave’ of political
awareness at Seabrook

Either the Associated Press is using rejected
stories from NBC Saturday .\igltt or a new wave of
political awareness is rising in this country.

The incident was Seabrook. .\'.H.. the site of a
nuclear power plant now under construction. and
the scene of many protests about nuclear power.

This time it was the pro-nuclear groups who held
a demonstration there. It happened last weekend.
when several groups responded to protests by the
environmentalist Clamshell .Alliance by holding a
demonstration of their own.

Not only did the protest include the Ku Klux
Klan. but the Iron Horsemen and Vigilante
motorcycle gangs were also in attendance. later
reports said the bikers served as bodyguards for the

white-sheeted klansmen.

No one should jump to conclusions and ridicule
the idea of gangs like the Horsemen and the Hell‘s
Angels in politics. They certainly should have a lot
of clout. for instance. along with undeniable grass
roots support. Their lobbying techniques alone
should give the group credibility among politicians.

So be prepared to see entries like “Warlords
Political Action Committee“ in lists of campaign
contributions. If there is a trend of bikers into
politics. it‘s a constructive one. 'I‘heir positions on
controlling inflation. nuclear disarmament and
solving the Middle East conflict should be
interesting.

Congratulations to Student (iovernment for

l recently learned that.
“theortically.” students should spend

after a base on balls. violating all laws
of conservation of energy. yet we seize
on the simplicity of his act, believing
that constant hustle will inevitably
result in $300,000 a year.

A fine example of baseball as
ultimate meaning occurred last
summer in Boise. Idaho. The June
29th Idaho Statesman carried a
headline writer‘s dream: “Boise
Buckskins Release Player After
Advice From God.“

The story told of Brad Kramer. a
pitcher released from the local Class D
professional team after his club
dropped a 25-3 decision. Although he
left the game when the score was only
l3~0. Kramer had given up five hits
and five runs in a two-inning relief
stint.

The next morning Kramer was
called to his manager‘s office.
According to Kramer. the

. conversation went like this: “He said

he was reading the Bible the night
before and in some passage God had
spoken to him directly. God let him
know that Brad Kramer was no longer
supposed to play on this Buckskin
team. He said God didn‘t want me on
the team."

A cynic might conclude that the
pitcher‘s inability motivated the
revelation. but apparently all parties
agreed that Kramer was a talented
player. The manager. a sincere young
man named Gerry Craft. simply had
received divine guidance after a

first time God had taken an interest.

The Statesman story continued:
“Despite a seven-game losing streak.
Craft has remained optimistic. saying

 

three to four hours outside of class
studying for every one hour they are in
class.

I hopped on home and got out my
claculator. Since I know my schedule

better than yours or your roommate's l '

will use it as the example.

My class load is below average —
only l4 credit hours —— but I spend 2|
and a half hours in class. First I'll
figure a non-working student‘s
schedule.

There are a total of I68 hours in a
seven-day week. If one spends three
hours outside for every one hour in
class, figure on 21.5 hours in class and
64.5 outside of class. That equals 86
hours per week on classes. That leaves
a student 82 hours a week or 1 L7 l4285
hours per day to eat. sleep, socialize,

. go to the bathroom and (if off campus)

grocery shop.

What about the four-hour theory?
This is for the student who needs more
practice for classes: In class — 2l.5
hours; Out of class — 86 hours; atotal
of l07.5 hours per week, leaving the

difficult loss. Moreover. it was not the >'

the team was being tested by God.
“After losing to Eugene 7-6 Tuesday
night when the Oregon club scored
three runs in the bottom of the ninth
inning. Craft told an Oregon
newspaper reporter, ‘God told me in
the seventh inning we were going to
lose. He told me, take people out when
I tell you to take them out. Do what I
tell you to do but be at total peace
when you lose, and bear with me.‘

“Craft said he relies on his
conversations with God to run the
team and when it comes to making
decisions, God makes all of them.

“Craft said he didn‘t find in unusual
that God would single out a minor
league baseball manager for
conversation and direct guidance."

I respect Mr. Craft‘s religious faith.
but his excessive zeal grants a
perspective on baseball (and football,
basketball and other harmless but
essentially meaningless recreation).
Baseball can be high drama. like
Reggie Jackson and Bob Welch facing
each other in the ninth inning of the
second game of this year‘s World
Series. but we need not sanctify such
moments. lf baseball is a form of
communion between player and
spectator it possesses remarkably little
substance. Welch and Jackson are two
machinists in a factory turning lathes.
It is their job. and they are paid for
their labor; we watch because major
league baseball is a business packaged
as a game and we love to be
consumers.

If baseball were anything else the
Dodgers would still be in Brooklyn.
not. as one New York friend puts it —
in “exile” in California. and the game

student 60.5 hours per week. or
8.642857l hours per day.

Now here‘s the real joke. . .a
working student like me. It is possible
to work 23 hours per week so that I
may attend college and pay for it. Add
to the three-hours-out-of-class-
student-time 23 hours of work and you
are left with only 8.4285714 hours per
day.

And last, leaving the least. . .four
hours spent out of class totals |30.5
hours a week. leaving only 5.357l428
per day.

Folks, my schedule is not a heavy
load. And my classes — well. the
difficulty by comparison to an
Engineering or Acccounting course
has no degree at all.

Sit down and figure out how much
time per day you have to go to the little
girls/boys room. . .theoretically.
