Pettit denies charges

in civil service hearing

By NANCY DALY
Associate Editor

Lexington Mayor Foster Pettit answer-
ed charges leveled against him by
Terrance Brady, suspended Urban County
Government personnel director. in the
first round of civil service commission
hearings Monday.

Pettit filed misconduct charges with the
commission against Brady for statements
he made to the press in September
accusing the mayor of bending civil
service procedures to make political
appointments.

l’l-Z'I‘TIT “AS the second to testify of a
total of 36 witnesses subpoenaed by
attorneys for himself and Brady. The first
witness, reporter Darlene Bowden of the
Lexington Leader. said Brady approached
her on Sept 19 to air his charges against
Pettit.

Pettit's main contention against Brady.
and the basis of the misconduct charges. is
the manner in which he aired his
grievances. He said Brady should have
exhausted "Proper channels of govern
ment" before making statements to the
press.

Pettit said Brady had a number of
recourses. such as the urban county
council grievance committee or the civil
service commission. which he should have

used before going to the press. He said
Brady‘s conduct has rendered him
incapable of continuing as personnel
director.

BRADY'S ATTORNEY. State Sen.
Michael Moloney, asked Pettit during
crossexamination if civil service em-
ployes had the right to speak in public.
Pettit said they did. but that “the nature of
these statements are so severe that they
represent something altogether different
than departing information to the public.“

For most of the hearing, Pettit
responded to questioing by his own
attorneys from the Urban County
(ioverment law department. (The civil
service commission ruled in October that
Brady must pay his own legal fees. A
defense fund was then established to cover
his expenses.)

A government attorney asked Pettit
about each of the charges leveled against
him and in each case he denied any
wrongdoing.

THE FIRST of Brady's charges
concerned the appointment of Stephen
Dreisler, a former administrative assist-
ant and campaign aid to Pettit, as
administrator of the Alchoholic Beverage
Control commission.

Panel instructs potential law students

an independent student newspaper

By BRL‘CE SINGLETON
Kernel Staff Writer

Law school faculty members and students told
potential law students last night how to get into law
school. what to expect from law school, and chances of
finding a job.

A panel. sponsored by Societas pro Legibus, featured
Professor Garrett Flickinger. Assistant Dean Joseph
Rausch. Assistant to the Dean Deedra Benthall-a
Nietzel. and third-year students have LeMaster and
Alan Trimmel.

“IN1965.“Flickinger said, “all you had to have to get
into this institution was a 2.3. Period. Nowadays, you
have to have at least a 2.6 and a 525 on the LSAT.”

He cited competition as the reason for the higher
standards for acceptance. The greater number of
applications for law school. he concluded. are in part
due to the social change that took place in the late

more obvious.

“But.” he said, “a recent survey shows that the
people in law school said their reasons for being there
were reward and profitunot for significant social
change?‘

l-‘l.l(‘KIN(;l-IR stressed the importance of making a
“careful, legitimate choice" of law schools.

He said there is a large number of qualified
candidates after the automatic rejection. Then. in
addition to grades and test scores. the admissions
committees look at candidates‘ extracurricular
activities, work experience, and “whatever else
they‘ve been doing besides getting high grades and a
high LSAT,“ Flickinger said.

Nietzel, who talked about women in law shcool.
emphasized the fact that there are more women in law
school today than there have ever been, and that many
schools are actively recruiting women. She said
women are not getting special consideration, though,

right along with the men’s.

SHE SAID that in the past. a woman would have to be
a “super woman" to even be considered for law school.
Presently schools are moving to get more average or
just above average women.

Rausch. who spoke on placement. said that by the
mid-1980's. “the legal profession will be difficult to
recognize.

“Today." he said. “the lawyer is a problem solver.
[n the near future. he will be the problem avoider--the
advisor."

Rausch said several trends are emerging. He
mentioned a judicare program (something like a
medicare program with federal assistance for basic
legal aidi, prepaid legal insurance. and group legal
services.

He said even though there are about twice as many
new lawyers today as there were in 1968. they will find

jobs .

Soccer team deserves varsity recognition

As UK’s major sports programs
(football and basketball) continue to
grow in prestige and revenue, it often
seems that other sports are lost in
their shadows, particularly non-
varsity sports.

The UK soccer team, which is
presently a competitive club in the
campus recreation system, has
applied for recognition as a varsity
team. A special subcommittee
created by President Otis Singletary
will consider the matter in the next
few weeks and report to the
University‘s Athletic Association
Board after the beginning of 1975.

The soccer team should be granted
varsity status for several reasons:

— The soccer team is requesting
$14,000 for its 1975 budget. This total is
indeed minimal considering that the
UK football and basketball teams had
combined expenditures for fiscal
1973-74 of over $1.7 million, with
combined revenues of over $2.2
million. Expenditures for all other
varsity sports amounted to only
$241,000. so the addition of soccer
would hardly be the straw that breaks
the camel‘s back.

Also, the UK Athletic Association
has accumulated a surplus of $1.5

Your health

million over the years which is now
invested in government securities and
certificates of deposit. A portion of the
interest from this fund could very
adequately support several smaller
varsity sports.

~ The University should support
efforts to increase active participa-
tion in intercollegiate athletics rather
than emphasize sports where students
participate mainly as spectators. At
this time there are fewer than 150 UK
athletes active in varsity football and
basketball although these two major
sports dominate the allocations
handed out by the Athletic Associa-
tion. Last year‘s addition of the
wrestling team to the number of
varsity sports was a small step in
broadening the varsity program.

— The soccer team is currently
competing under NCAA rules against
teams which have been accorded
varsity status and are supported
largely by their own schools‘ funds.

Several UK soccer players have
demonstrated the talent necessary to
be considered for All—American
honors. but because of the teams‘
non-varsity status these top players

cannot receive any recognition by the
NCAA.

Furthermore. UK's chances of
recruiting top players from around
the state and the nation would be
greatly enhanced if soccer was a
varsity sport.

-— The growth of soccer both
statewide and nationally points to the
probability that soccer will become
an increasingly important sport
throughout the United States in years
to come. In 1964 only four collegiate
soccer teams existed in the state. but
by 1974 more than 14 teams have been
formed in the state.

- The campus recreation system
cannot support club sports like soccer
in the manner necessary to enable
them to compete on an equal basis
with other. better-funded teams.
Although the number of students
participating in soccer has increased,
their funds have dropped from $1,700
in 1970 to the present total of $950. The
players presently have to buy their
own uniforms. drive their own cars to
away games and pay for many
additional expenses.

It is vital at a time when the
I'niversity is rebuilding its football
program and hopes to rebound from a
disappointing basketball season that
the Athletic Board does not forget the
publicized. less financially
rewarding sports, In granting soccer
varsity status the Board could score a
goal for the t'niversity as well as for
the soccer team.

Stomach problems may stem from nervousness

By STANLEY HUFFMAN. MD.

A very common problem we
see at the Health Service is the
patient who complains of chronic
abdominal pain usually with
some alteration of bowel habit or
function. These are legitimate
complaints, but most of the time
are due to what we call
“functional bowel disease.” This
may be recognizable to others
under the terms nervous colon,
irritable colon, irritable bowel
syndrome, spastic bowel or
colon, or spastic ‘colitis. The
inclusion of “colitis" in the
terminology is unfortunate be—
cause there is no true inflamma-
tion of the colon in these cases,
hence no colitis.

These patients will come in
with a story of recurrent or
chronic lower abdominal pain
which tends to wax and wane.
Occasionally the pain will be

noticed under the rib cages and
toward the back, and will be
associated with a. feeling of
fullness or bloating in the
abdomen. Bowel habits may vary
from constipation to diarrhea,
with many patients experiencing
a strong urge to have a bowel
movement immediately after
meals.

ALL OF THESE symptoms are
real and are distracting if not
disabling. But the important
point to be remembered is that,
by definition, there is no
underlying physical or anatomic-
al abnormality. These symptoms
are due to an increase or
decrease in the normal processes
of the intestinal tract. Specifical-
ly the intestinal musculature will
contract too strongly. or will be
relaxed too much, or such
contraction and relaxation will be
poorly coordinated.

The underlying cause for
nearly all of these symptoms is
emotional stress. The processes
of entering or returning to school,
of leaving home. of living in a
different environment with dif-
ferent food, of new classes and
subject material, and new social
stresses create in all of us some
degree of emotional stress or
anxiety. There is good evidence
to prove the relationship between
anxiety tor depression) and
altered intestinal function. Stu-
dents seem to exhibit these
changes at two peak periods _, as
school begins and at examination
time.

While the explanation for the
symptoms may be simple. the
treatment is not. Many students
refuse to accept the idea that
“it's all my nerves" assuming
that they are too “cool" or strong
to let that happen. Such an

attitude demonstrates an immat-
urity and lack of understanding
of the situation. Even if the
student does accept the idea.
Changing his or her response to
stress is even more difficult.

At the Health Service we rely
on supportive care. explanation
of the cause and effect. and the
use of medications to decrease
the response of the intestine to
these stressful forces. Of course
if the symptoms persist for a very
long period or if more serious
symptoms appear. then certain
investigative or diagnostic stud-
ies are indicated and would be
recommended.

TIIIC TERM “functional bowel
disease" is applied to altered
function in other areas of the
intestinal tract including the
esophagus and stomach. Here the

symptoms include difficulty
swallowing. regurgitation. bloat»
ing. nausea. abdominal pain and
loss of appetite These patients
are told often that they have a
nervous stomach or spastic
stomach or a pre-ulcer condition.
The basic mechanism is the same
and the management is the same
although we are more likely to
obtain x-rays in patients with
upper abdominal complaints.

These are real problems with
real pain and real causes. and
they should be approached by
both patient and physician as
such. If the patient is to obtain
relief from the symptoms. he or
she must keep an open mind to all
the possible causes and remed
ies

the Student Ilealth Service.

Letters to the editor

In terms of what?

In our efforts to control air and
water pollution I suggest we set
aside a small amount of time to
stop word pollution of the English
language. The verbal crutch “in
terms of" (ITO) is a classic
example. One kind and gentle
prof recently used it 55 times in a
class lecture. Of coure, he wasn't
aware of this repetition. But it
was “in terms of" this, and “in
terms of" that W. throughout the
lecture.

ITO can be found in thousands
of books, speeches, lectures and
conversations. Help banish this

crutch which millions use to
hobble from phrase to phrase.
Without any authority in terms
of official approval, I am

UK instructor goes to court
to keep own name on license

By CLARE DEWAR
Kernel Staff Writer

Scotty Whitlow, UK journalism
instructor. has brought suit
against the Kentucky Depart-
ment of Transportation in an
effort to retain her own last name
on her driver‘s license rather
than using her husband's sur-
name.

In February. 1974. Whitlow
applied for a driver's license in
Lexington 'An official at the
license bureau. upon finding
Whitlow was married. would not
allow her to make application in
her name. He said she had to use
her husband‘s surname. Whitlow
refused to do so. and she has not
been able to get a Kentucky‘s
driver‘s license

WHITMM' SAID she is proud
of her husband. but opted to keep
her name after marriage instead
ol taking his because she had
matte accomplishments on her
own. with that name. and “that's
who I am "

“It's become very firmly
entrenched in my mind. this
image oi myself. and part of this
image is my name." Whitlow
said She also said she refused to
use her husband‘s name on her
(lriyer's license because “I
simply didn't want to relinquish
my identity ”

Robert Sedler. I‘K law profes-
sor. is representing Whitlow in
her case. which is a class action.
"brought on behalf of all women
similarly situated.” according to
Sedler

IV APRIL. the case was thrown
out ol Federal District (‘ourt by
the presiding judge on the basis
of a similar 1970 Alabama case
which was upheld by the
Supreme (‘ourt

The case is now betore the

Sixth Circuit, under whose
jurisdiction are the states of
Michigan.0hio, Kentucky and
Tennessee.

"We contend that common law
rule in Kentucky (in this case, a
woman is not bound to take her
husband‘s surname after mar-
riage), remains in effect until it’s
expressly said not to apply.”
Sedler said.

ANOTHER POINT in the
plaintiff‘s case, according to.
Sedler, is “you can‘t have a
mandatory preference on the

basis of sex.” He said it’s
discriminatory to require a
woman to use her husband’s
surname while not asking the
same thing of a man. Sedler
called the license ruling “utterly
arbitrary."

“This is an important issue to
many women, I’ve been told,"
said Sedler.

Sedler said the oral arguments
for the case will probably be
given in January or February,
and a decision should be reached
by June.

New labor program offers
courses to union leaders

A labor education center has
been established under the
(‘ollege of Business and Econo-
mics to train union officials and
leaders around the state.

The center received a two year
funding of $250000 from Gov.
Wendell Ford on July 1. Robert
I). Winn. director of the center,
has served on labor education
staffs at universities of Iowa.
Houston and West Virginia.

THE CENTER offers non-
credit courses on the main
campus and at community
colleges. Among the courses
offered are labor law. collective
bargaining. labor history. union
structure. union leadership. time
study and wage determination.
and labor economics.

Winn said these courses are
now being offered in 14 areas of
the state. “We hope to have 20 to
30 programs by the end of the
fiscal year." said Winn. He said
the courses run six to eight weeks
with classes meeting one night a
week for two and one-half hours.

The Ashland center has been
the most successful with an

enrollment of 42 students, Winn
said. He said he expects the
centers to attract more students.
"We expect a minimum of 900
students between January and
July." he said.

THE CENTER is planning a
seminar this Thursday in Carroll-
ton. Ky. The aim of the seminar is
to teach union leaders how to
better inform their stewards. A
steward is a member of an
organized union who handles the
grievances of the union mem-
bers, Winn said.

Winn said the center is
planning a symposium on the
Pension Reform Act to be held
the second week in January.
Invitations to speak at the
symposium have already been
extended to labor leaders such as
Arnold Miller, president of the
United Mine Workers; Robert
Georgine. president of Building
and Trade of the AFL-CIO;
Charles Pillard. president of the
Brotherhood of Electrical Work—
ers and Leonard Woodcock of the
United Auto Workers. Winn said
the center hopes to line up more
speakers for the symposium.

Do YOU Overdose?

Aspirin is therapeutically used as an analgesic (pain
reliever) and an anti-inflammatory agent. Being a weak
acid, taking aspirin (acetyl salicylic acid) over a long period
of time, stomach and intestinal bleeding may occur. This
effect takes place in 70 per cent of patients taking repeatedly
large doses. the extent of blood loss is directly related to the
amount of aspirin taken.Aspirin also increases the rate of
blood flow resulting from any wound or abrasion, both
internally and externally. The usual dosage of aspirin for
adults is I to 3 tablets (.5 grains per tablet) every 3 to 6 hours,
not exceeding I2 tablets per day. Continuous use of aspirin
should not continue without doctor’s knowledge. Individuals
especially susceptible to the preciously mentioned
side-effects are those with peptic (stomach) ulcers,
esophagitis (inflammation of esophagus), and hemophiliacs

(”bleeders”).
