Jack Scott blasts college athletics;

stays quiet about Patty Hearst

By WALTER HIXSUN
Assistant Managing Editor

Remaining essentially mute about his alleged in
volvement with Patty Hearst. controversial sports
figure Jack Scott advocated steps to rid college
athleti(s of professionalism.

Speaking before about .300 persons at the Student
('enter Grand Ballroom 'Itiesdav Scott said college
athletes are recruited for purposes of athletic rather
than educational achiuement. The former Oberlin
(‘ollege athletic director said collegiate athletics
should be forced to “clean tip their act."

Scott said aspiring professional athletes should not
go to college "under the guise of students." He cited
the case of Moses Malone, who bypassed college to sign
a pm basketball contract with the [tab Stars. “It took
a 17-year-old kid to figure out there‘s no need to put in

four years of college to be a professional.“

Scott quickly pointed out that he is not attempting to
“destroy sports. People have to understand that I am
making a distinction between athletes and
management in profesional sports.“

Concerning alleged involvement with Hearst and the
SLA. Seo't sa'd. “1 have pledged non-collaboration
with t.’ e FBI . for the last eight months and can
hardly Unw‘Ce ‘r'i‘ now."

But Scott sa 1(l two Rolling Stone articles purporting
to have the “Inside Story“ on the Hearst case were
“reckltss and vulturistic.“ He said the articles, which
implicated Scott of harboring Symbionese Liberation
Amiy (SLAI fugitives. made Rolling Stone “the
National Enquirer for the counterculture.”

Scott added that the stories were “a Clifford Irving-
like attempt to con the American public." He said

Polliwogs

Dear Al:

Whaddya say, you old limpet-eater, you?
i haven’t seen or heard from you since we
parted ways one fall afternoon on the Strip
in Knoxville—damn, I was freezing my
ears off and you were walking around
wearing a T-shirt and saying: "You think
this is cold? This isn’t cold. This is like the
middle of summer in Newark. ididn’teven
bring down a winter coat.” And so on and
so on. Right on, Al.

Anyway. my oi’ brutha Steve told me
about six months later that you had gone
off to live in Oregon a few weeks after they
passed that polliwog decriminalization
law there (they made possession a $10 fine,
right?), and that nobody had heard an
utterance from you since then. What’s the
story, Al? Like it out there, boy?

Things are still about the same here in
the polliwog department, except that now
more Real People smoke it than students,
and the police in the, uh, sophisticated
cities don’t make as many small busts as
they used to. Although they still do it in
small towns. Politics, y’know.

Al, since I last talked with you, other
things have changed a lot. i got into law
school, (and having been trying to get out
ever since), have done a little travelling
(despite varied and several gnashings of
teeth at my lack of ambition to...work),
and have completely laid off drinking
whiskey without the aid of either some
water or soda. Yes, many important
changes have come over me, my son.

 

 

Nevertheless, we must all strive for the
higher ideals in life. Like getting out of
school. Doing some more traveling.
Drinking scotch with either water or soda.
We must be Renaissance Men, ever»
climbing toward the heights and standards
set for us by the angels of pre-primordiai
times. But ya gotta watch out for ulcers if
you do that number, Al, my man, because
it’s a pretty heavy task, i wanna tell ya.
Those old post primordial instincts just
tend to get us down sometimes, I guess.

But enough of this mishmash! (Just put
this down if it doesn’t make any sense to
you,Al. All I can really think about now is
antitrust litigation anyway. Petitioner
does not not double not have standing to
sue on this vioiaaarrrggghhhll Whew! I
lost it there for a minute there, didn’t i?
Hmmmm, gotta get off of this topic. Oh
yeah, i got it. AI, l wanna tell ya about an
idea i want to write about in this column
that I have in the school newspaper; really
I’m kinda scared to say anything about it,
because it’s still a real controversial
subject in some people‘s minds around
here, but what it is, is. polliwogs, You
know, that stuff that they practically
legalized in Oregon (and in California and

in Colorado and in Alaska and in Maine).

Well, I’ve been thinking for quite
some time now that they should at least
decriminalize it in Kentucky or maybe
even (would i dare say it?) legalize,
regulate, and tax it like alcohol. Why, i
heard the other day that some economics
prof at the University of Florida said that
taxes for the stuff would bring in at least
twice as much money per year as oI'
Gerald Ford distributes in federal revenue
sharing funds every 12 months. The Army
sponsored a study that concluded that
poliiwogs had no detrimental effects not
100iong ago, and even the Courier-Journal
has lately started talking about it as much
as Johnny Carson has been in the past
year. The National Institute on Drug
Abuse says that an incredible number of
people smoke now.

Where will it all end? In the moral
breakdown of a nation? Uh-uh. in the
continuation of laws that have become
immoral themselves when enforced?
Uh huh, for a while at least. But i have a
feeling that when a Democrat is elected
next year, he’s gonna appoint a polliwogs
white paper commission, and they’re
gonna recommend (at least) decriminalir
zation. Hell, then the Chief Executive can
save us taxpayers the money used to
prosecute the poor bastards who get
caught, the taxes might up the economy a
little, and all the smokers in the country
will vote to rerelect that President who
puts his rubber stamp on the commission’s
recommendation. Who said there aren’t
any new ploys left in politics?

At any rate, i was thinking that this
University, basically being not much of a
hotbed of controversy, should get active
and start producing some people soon who
start talking about, nay, lobbying for, the
decriminalization of polliwogs in this
commonwealth. It’s about time Kentucky
was in the forefront of some m0vement;
this one’s a natural for college students. Or
is it? We have the Student Government
which isn’t likely to endorse a lobbying
resolution on polliwogs this year; we have
the Young Democrats, right there in the
mainstream of Kentucky politics, but they
probably won’t say much unless Julian
gives them his implicit approval first;
then we have the law school, and people
there are justifiably intimidated about
sticking their necks out for something
that‘s illegal, even though a lot of them do
indulge in the smoke now and then; and
there‘s the med students, who carry some
clout in the technical expertise depart-
ment; and the faculty, who might at least
pass around a petition or something.

Hmmm, I don’t know if the time is right
yet or not, now that i think about it. Damn,
think of the outraged alumni! Ah yes, the
past...how it haunts us still (said in my
bestetfort at imitating the immortal bard,
W. C. Fields). Well, Al, guess l’il go over to
see my editor Winges and ask him what he
thinks and then I'll do what i want to
anyway....Ain’t that the way it always
goes?!

TM

 

By Rick Carter

 

in response to the article entitled,
"Transcendental meditation
transcends present education system
(Kernel, Nov. 17),” by Michael Fugate
and Jim Glockner, i would like to offer
a very important additional bit of
information of which i believe these
gentlemen may be unaware of.

Transcendental Meditation (TM),
also called the science of creative
intelligence (SCI), claims to be a
scientific technique for health and
recreation. TM is offered to high school
and college students throughout the
US. by the Students international
Meditation Society reported to be the
fastest growing student movement in
America.

Whatis SCI or TM? Is it a religion? A
science? A philosophy? A technique?
Or what? Who and what is behind this
massive worldwide movement? Is it
merely a preoccupation with Eastern
mysticism?

Fugate and Glockner stated: ”It
(TM) is not a philosophy or religion. it
does not require that you change your
belief or say that life is beautiful and
joyful, only that you meditate 15-20
minutes in the morning and evening
and eventually that condition will
develop as a permanent reality,
whether you believe it or not.”

It is at this point that I challenge TM
participants to identify the TM
”technique“ for what it is—Hinduism.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, head of the
growing TM movement, defines the
objective of TM as achieving a direct
experience of pure being. Since this
abstract existence is believed to be
eternal and beyond all thoughts and
words, the best Maharishi can do is call
it ”That.” "i am That Eternal Being,
thou art That and all this is That.” In
meditation, he seeks to transcend all
thoughts about particular things and to
”meditate” upon "Thatness."

What chairmen of the Centers of
Creative intelligence call man’s
Source, Hindus call Thatness, Brahman
or God. This is clearly a Hindu form of
pantheism and for this basic idea, the
Maharishi himself recognizes his
indebtedness to the scriptures of Hindu-
ism, the ”Vedas."

There can be no question that the
”technique“ of TM is characteristic of

Hinduism. The Maharishi extols the

 

 

is Hinduism

fact that it is derived 7rom the
”Bhagavad-Gita,” another exalted
Hindu sacred writing. In his extensive
commentary on this Hindu sacred
writing, Maharishi exciaims: “The
’Bhagavad-Gita’ is the Light Of Life, lit
by God at the altar of man to save
humanity from the darkness of
ignorance and suffering....The
’Bhagavad-Gita' is a complete guide to
practical iife...it brings fulfillment to
the life of the individual.”

Clearly, then, the Maharishi’s
method of attaining divine unity is a
Hindu method derived from the major
Hindu scriptures. However secular the
terminology employed by American
teachers of SCI and TM, Maharishi
knows that the method itself is one of
the ways to self-elimination taught in
Hindu scripture.

The Christian way to an experience of
God differs radically from the TM way
to absorption in Brahman. The
Christian way leads to loving fellowship
with the personal transcendent Lord of
the “Bible.” The Christian’s confidence
and hope do not rest upon a repetition fo
meaningless sounds of mantras, nor
upon alleged vibrations of words or
thoughts, harmonious or otherwise.
Neither does the biblical way to an
experience of God require a denial of
the plain facts of change and diversity.

Christians do not regard the world
either as ultimate reality or as a mere
mirage. Christians find no need to
persuade themselves of the unreaiity of
that for which- there is adequate
evidence. Knowing that God has
created all things, Christians are open
to any material or spiritual reality for
which sufficient evidence exists. They
do not try to escape reality, but accept
itfrom God. Having met the living God,
Christians have no need for inventing a
permanent reality and convincing
themselves of it by anything like
"self-hypnosis.”

The gospel of Jesus Christ informs
the mind of the fact that God became
man, and that eyewitnesses confirmed
accounts of Jesus’ life, death and
resurrection. it summons people to
believe these facts. it also informs of
God’s eternal purposes through Christ’s
death; that being to reestablish fellowv
ship with mankind through the accep-
tance of Je5us Christ into the indivi-
duai’s life.

Harvard researcher doubts
effects of smoking on health

By MONTY N. FOLEY
Kernel Staff Writer

A Harvard University
researcher said Tuesday the non-
smoker's exposure to tobacco
smoke may be annoying. but
”there is no proof that exposure
leads to respiratory illnesses."

Speaking at the concluding
session of Lhe UK Tobacco and
Health Symposium, Dr. Melvin
W First said his recently com<
pleted experiment on the effects
of smoking in public places
should ”stimulate interest" on a
public issue which has already
led to public smoking bans in a
tew cities and smoking restric-
tions on commercial airlines.

First said previous studies.
which have aroused non-siilokers
‘o demand smoking bans. have
measured carbon monoxide
levels rather than more basic
components of tobacco smoke.
First questioned the validity ot
such observations on the grounds
'hat [It most public places there
are numerous other contributors
‘o carbon inonoude lt‘\t’ls‘
bestdes cigarettes

Iti contrast to those studies.
First said his study involved The

public places such as airports.

cocktail lounges, “I‘Istililation ol
levels of tobacco smoke in public
places \\ as undertaken to
evaluate the health implications
tor non-smokers." First said

I’rocedui'es tor evaluating
nicotine levels in Boston public
places included inconspicuous
sampling of air with a small
battery-powered pump. First
said.

“A total of 23 samples were
‘aken in Boston during 1973 and
1974." First said.

Following the sample process,
First said. the nicotine levels to
which a non-smoker would be
exposed in an hour were com-
pared to the amount normally
inhaled by a person smoking one
filter cigarette containing 16.1
milligrams of nicotine.

According to First‘s com—
parisons, a non—smoker in a
commuter train inhaled the
equivalent of 0.004 filter
cigarettes; in an airplane waiting
room. 0.003 cigarettes: in a
cocktail lounge. 0.009 cigarettes;
and iii a student lounge, 0.002
cigarettes.

“The data collected suggests
that although tobacco-smoke
concentrations often exceed the
average air quality standards for
clean air. these levels would not
be expected to produce the strong
public reaction to tobacco smoke
‘hat hasdeveloped in the past few
years." First said.

First added that non-smokers~
annoyance by tobacco smoke
may be caused by gaseous conr
ponen's such as phenols.
aldehydes. and organic acids
produced during ‘obacco conl
bustioii when a cigarette "idles”
or is not inhaled by the siiiokel‘

Firs" said awareliessot tobacco
smoke is increased because its
paiticle si/e produces a highly
visible aerosol at low mass
concentrations.

“’I‘liese lactors. taken together.
may be a more important cause
ol the publies adverse reaction to
tobacco smoke than the quantity

centrations.” First said.

ky Tobacco Research Board.
