includes ‘new car lemon bill'

Carroll proposes consumer protection

By MONTY N. FOLEY
Kernel Staff Writer

Gov. Julian Carroll’s proposed 12-point
consumer protection package, announced
on Jan. 23, contains a provision that would
make Kentucky a leader in at least one
facet of corsumer-oriented legislation.

Describing Gov. Carroll’s innovative
proposal as “the new car lemon bill,”
Assistant Attorney General Robert
Bullock said the bill would prevent a new
car purchaser from “getting the run
around,” in the event that a new car has
major mechanical problems.

“The Govemor’s bill does not apply to
minor problems that are found in many
new mrs, but would apply to mechanical
defects such as transmission failures, or
bent frames,” Bullock said.

People buying new cars with these
defects are often caught in a bind, because
“the dealer requires, from 20-40 days to
repair the wr," Bullock said.

He indicated that auto manufacturers
would prefer to have the dealer repairing
the car—regardless of the amount of time
it takes—rather than replace the “lemon”
with a new car from the factory.

“Under the Govemor’s proposal, if
lengthy repairs on the new car were
required, the consumer could either
demand a new car replacement or his
money back,” Bullock said.

“If the new car lemon proposal is
adopted by the legislature, Kentucky
would be the first of the 50 states to have
passed such a law,” Bullock said.

Another of the Govemor’s proposals,
similar to the auto bill, would give mobile
home purchasers the right to demand a
full refund of the purchase price, or a
replacement unit, if the home was poorly
constructed or damaged in transit, John
Nichols, the Govemor’s press secretary
said Monday.

Also hcluded in Carroll’s consumer
package is a bill that would radically alter
what is currently a legally acceptable
business practice, Nichols said.

“Under arrrent law, a retail business
that landles credit sales can transfer a
credit sale contract to a bank or a loan
company arr! relinquish responsibility for
the product warranty,” Nichols said.

Student Code committee
approves J-Board reforms

By STEVE BALLINGER
Kernel Staff Writer

A pcposal to choose members of the
University Judicial Board (J-Board) by
computerized random selection has been
tentatively approved by the Advisory-
Committee on Student Code Revision.

Composed of three administrators, three
faculty members and three students, the
committee meets each year to discuss
suggested changes in the Code of Student
Conduct. The Code deals with rules,
procedures, rights and responsibilities
governing non-academic offenses against
the University.

Committee Chairman Robert G.
Zumwinkle said the J ~Board proposal was
the only recommended revision for this
year.

“It was apparent there was a need for a
change,” said Zumwinkle. “I think the
committee has come up with a simpler,
more workable and probably fairer
method." ‘

The J—Board has original jurisdiction
over student disciplinary offenses and
appellate jurisdiction over residence hall
government rulings.

Random selection would give all
students in good disciplinary standing an
equal chance of being on J-Board, Zum-
winkle said The present Student Code
instructs the Student Government
President to select 26 members for the
Board from nominations made by Student
Senators. A hearing officer appointed by
the university president then selects seven
from that list to comprise the actual J-
Board for each case.

Unfair sales practices represent another
facet of Gov. Carroll’s consumer
protection plan.

“We’re still working on a good legal
definition of what constitutes unfair sales
practices.” Nichols said.

As an example of unfair sales practices,
Nichols cited situations that occurred in
Louisville, Frankfort and Brandenburg,
following the April 3, 1974, tornadoes.

“After the tornadoes, the prices for
construction goods soared because there
was such a major demand br those
materials,” Nichols said.

“Housing material retailers priced
construction goods as high as they could,
and made a killing on window glass,” be
said. “We would hope to curb such
practices,” Nichols said.

The expansion of generic drug laws is
also being cmsidered by the legislature,
Nichols sail.

“Kentucky now has a generic drug law
which allows the consumer to purchase
less erpernive drugs that are the medical
equivalent to higher priced brands,”
Nichds said.

As a membe‘ of the revision committee,
SG President Jim Harralson backed the
proposal. “It eliminates an unfair and
unwieldy process in the Student Code,” he
said. Harralson has been opposed to the
administrative approval included in the
present J-Board system.

Zumwinkle said he had been assured by
computer programmers that names could
be selected completely by chance.
Students chosen would be contacted in the
order of selection, and the J-Board would
consist of the first 28 who agree to serve.

Included in the proposal is an increase in
J-Board membership for a specific case
from six to seven members. “This
eliminates the possibility of a tie vote,”
explained Zumwinkle.

He was not worried about randomly-
selected members not meeting any J-
Boand obligations, “Any student who
accepted the responsibility...l feel they
will follow up on it,” said Zumwinkle. He
said that the program had been recom-
mended to UK by the Universities of ..
Miami (Fla.), Illinois, Nevada and
Washington (state), where it had been
successful.

Zumwinkle encouraged opinions on the
proposal to be sent to his office before Feb.
13. There will be no public committee
hearing to d'scuss the proposal because
previous hearings were poorly attended
said Zumwinkle.

If the committee decides to give final

. approval, the proposal will be forwarded

to President Otis A. Singletary. The Board
of Trustees will then consider the measure
along with Singletary’s recommendations.
The Board of Trustees is the only body
which may amend the Student Code.

package

“But the governor’s proposal would go
one step further, requiring the pharmacist
to inform the purchaser of the availability
of the les expensive drugs,” he said.

Charity fund-raising has abo come
under the scrutiny of Gov. Carroll’s
consumer program.

“There have been charity campaigns in
Kentucky that have been managed by
public relations (PR) firms, with the PR
firms collecting from 50-60 per cent of the
total campaign costs,” Nichols said.

“Our proposalwouldlimit a professional
solicitor, such as a PR firm, from
receiving more than 15 per- cent of the total
campa'gn'costs,” he said.

Other provisions of the Governor’s
consumer package include:

-—a comprehensive Kentucky anti-trust
bill, to sumbrnent bderal anti-trust laws;

—general fair trade legislation;

-includon of private citizens on all
Kentucky administration boards that deal
with consumer activities.

Bullock said the Governor’s ‘woposals
parallel the proposals made by the state
Consumers Advisory Council.

ERA brings women

LEGISLATIVE:
BILL or 0”!”
document!

Two years ago, as a fledgling young
Kernel reporter, I watched a handful of
northern Kentucky and Louisville
housewives get clobbered in an attempt
to reverse Kentucky's ratification of
the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA).

l drove home from Frankfort feeling
relieved thata resolution to rescind the
E RA was dealt a swift but fatal blow by
the Senate Elections and Constituional
Amendments Committee. The state‘s
1972 ERA ratification survived an
assault despite minimal lobbying in its
favor.

Those northern Kentucky and
Louisville housewives went home mad.

This past July, again on Kernel
assignment, I was dispatched to Frank-
fort to cover an interim committee
hearing on the ERA. Complicating the
capitol‘s chronically critical parking
situation were numerous yellow school
and church buses from western Ken-
tucky. Swarms of women wearing pink
polyester pantsuits and pastel "Stop

and helped iam the steaming, standing-
room-only House chamber. These

Attendance at that hearing appeared
to be equally divided betWeen sup-

the ”ladies in pink“ got most of the
publicity by importing the biggest E RA
oppcnent of them all, Phyllis Schlafly,
to testify. One reliable committee
member, an ERA supporter, said that

rescission bill is expected to pick up
almost all of the 14 committee votes.

ERA supporters are pinning their ‘

hopes on the Senate Elections and
Constitutional Amendments Com-
mittee, which will take up the
rescission bill after it passes in the
House. The committee is very pro-ERA
(some say it was stacked) and is ex-
pected to stall the bill until the
legislative session ends or ERA
hysteria subsides.

One legislative hitch could botch up
this scenario. Twenty signatures on a
Senate discharge petition could force
the rescission bill outof committee and
on to the Senate floor. The Senate could
then bypass the committee and com-
plete the rescission process.

Although the validity of rescission is
unclear and probably not much to
worry about. it is imperative that
Kentucky’s ERA ratification remain
intact. Rescission in Kentucky would
seriously—if only psychologically—
undermine the already weakened
momentum for national ratification.

Those concerned about preserving
ratification should contact their
representa tives —particularly senators
--immediably. Berry Ford, much to
our regret, is notgoing to do it for you.

Age-old sport

Editor:

There is an age-old sport at the
University of Kentucky which has
never hadenough recognition, probably
because the players never win! The
name of the game is parking.

For students, it is like a game set up
by the University to see if we can find a
parking place and still get to class on
time. Why do students have to search
for hours for parking places when there
are often many spaces available, if only
one had these all-powerful, forever
soughtafter "A" or "B" stickers?

It's hopeless! After driving around
campusfor an hour (the time now being
8: 58 a. m. and your first class is at 9
a. m. iyoirsay: ”The hell with it!'_' and

«- smeal»:~ inb'one of the 10 empty spaces in“

an obscure corner of a "8“ lot, hoping
you won’t be discovered. But alas, in
case you haven't learned by now, the
obiect of the game is not for you to win.
After a draining 50 minutes in

chemistry, you rush back to your car.

with 10 minutes left to look for a ”safe
place” before your next class. As
before, it’s useless, for the student
cannot win. From 20 yards you see the
dreaded yellow card grinning at you
victori0usly from your windshield.
Another day, another defeat —an en-
dless battle.

As the day draws to an end, the
player-student turns wearily
homeward, his collection of "Go to iail
—Do not pass GO —Do not collect S200"
cards in hand. And when asked at
home: ”What did you learn at school
today?” he can only reply that it costs
$15 to get your car back after it has
been towed away!!

there is a great need for more advisers

was incorrect and as a result, I took a
class last semester that was un-

to register for the spring semester, I
received no help at all. Many of the

'Exsproie'ssor

uses lawsuit

to curtail FBI harassment

By JAMIE LUCKE
Assistant Managing Editor

Morris Starsky is optimistic,
despite having been the target .of
a Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation (FBI) campaign to
have him fired as philosophy
professor at Arizona State
University. .

The ex~pmfessor is optimistic
because he believes the
American people will demand an
end to secret activities (by
government agencies like the
FBI) against citizens who are not
accused of crimes.

tarsky said opinion polls show
anti-FBI and anti-Central In-
telligence Agency (CIA) sen-
timent is stronger now than ever
before in the U.S. “There’s also
tremendous support for the right
to know what’s in the files of
those agencies,” he said.

Starsky, who spoke here last
week in the Student Center, said
he lost his job in 1970 after
missing a class to speak at an
anti-war rally. The Board of
Regents at Arizona State
University dismissed him despite
recommendations by the college
president and by two in-
vestigatingcommittees that he
be retained.

Last year Starsky obtained his
FBI files through the Freedom of
Information Act.

“The files showed that I had
been targeted to be fired since
i965, ” he’Saidif-
“smarts; 9m (pafi'li'iéfpa’t'ed in‘
Arizona anti-war activities He
said the-"FBI felt having him fired
would discredit the anti-war
movement.

Also active in the Socialist
Workers Party, Starsky said the
files show since he supported the
Socialist presidential candidate
in 1968 he was “re-targeted” by
the FBI that year.

According to the files, FBI
activities against Starsky in-
cluded sending an anonymous
letter, which he said slandered
him to one of the investigating
committees which eventually
recommended against firing him.
The letter was signed “con-
cerned alumnus.”

Starsky’s case is significant
because it was the first
documented example of specific

.J._.i 4-

.secret FBI violations of an in-

dividual’s constitutional rights,
he said.

An appeals’ court ruling that
the firing had violated Starsky’s
constitutional rights and that he
should be reinstated as professor
is currently tied up in court on a
technicality, he said.

But he is abo a plaintiff in a
nationwide lawsuit against heads
of 14 government agencies,
former president Richard Nixon
and six former Nixon ad-
ministration officials, he said.

* flex-My m. in mm

 

. agencies can t be depended on to

—-——K‘ eraser—— '

The law suit, which was filed on
behalf of the Socialist Workers.
Party by the Political Rights
Defense Fund, is one of about six
nationwide suits and numerous
local suits against governmental
agencies and officials, Starsky
said.

The Political Rights Defense
Fund is a nationwide
organization which publicizes the
issues surrounding political
rights and raises the necessary
funds to cover legal costs.

The suit charges the FBI with
harassment of the Socialist
Workers Party. “For 45 years
the Socialist Workers Party has
been under surveillance,”
Starsky said. “For the last 25 it
has been harassed by govern-
ment agencies.

“The justification is that the
FBI is looking for criminal ac-
tivity," he said. “But in the last
45 years no Socialist Workers
Party member under sur-
veillance has been charged for a
criminal act; and you sure can’t
say that about the Republicans or
Democrats.”

Through the national lawsuit
over 1,000 pages of secret FBI and
CIA documents have been made
public, Starsky said.

The activities described in the
documents constitute “clear

violations of democratic rights,” ‘

tarsky said.
‘ Starsky said congress and the

elimmateillegal secret activities.
against citizens.

“The Congressional com-
mittees have mostly a cosmetic
purpose. The trick now is to
blame it at Herbert Hoover or
Nixm," he said. “It wasn’t just
Hoover. They (government
officials—elected and otherwise)
all have to assume responsibility
for what has happened.” !

Starsky said if the agencies are.
to be cleaned up the public must»
“keep the heat on. "

“We've made a great deal of
progress--it's been a long time.

since we’ve known this muchf.

about what the government is;
doing,” hesaid. “But we can’t beg
put back to sleep by
congressional committee’ 5
promises to take care of things.”

Starsky said the public should
demand all law enforcement
agencies’ documents be made
public. “And all agencies with no
function other than political
victimization--anything that
looks like or smells like political
police-should be shut down.”

He said independent in-
vestigations of secret activities
should be made, and that
criminal activity in these cases
should result in prosecution of
those respmsible.

Art Buchwald treats Lexington
to his brand of political humor

By JO LUX
Kernel Staff Writer
“My fellow Americans, for
_ those of you sitting in the back of

the room who can’t see me, I look'

exactly like Robert Redford.”

With these words humor
columnist Art Buchwald com-
menced a speech at the 93rd
annual meeting of the Greater
Lexington Chamber of Com-
merce last week. The speech.
destined to go down in Lexington
history as one of the funniest on
record, concerned everything
from Watergate to Buchwald’s
childhood.

“The greatest period in my life
was Watergate." Buchwald said.
“During Watergatel could get up
and read the front page of the
morning newspaper and my work
for the day (writing a humor
column) would be done in time
for me to be on the tennis court by
IO a.m. By the way," he said,
“did you know that whenever
someone lies in Washington
I\ixon gets a royalty?”

However. Buchwald said. he
was one of the few people in
Washington who did not want to
see Mxon resign or be im-
peached. “I needed Richard
Mxon a whole lot more than he
needed me.” he said.

Regarding the current
Washington scene. Buchwald
discussed Pres. Ford. “At first I
had trouble writing about Ford."
he said. “How do you make fun of

a man who makes his own break- -»

fast" But then Ford pardoned
Mxm and l was homefreet"

“When Ford pardoned Nixon
he did for the justice system what
Evel Knievel did for the space
program." he added.

Buchwald said he is oc~
casionally criticized because the
Russiars use his columns for
propagand purposes when he
knocks the administration. “The
State Department called me once
and asked me if i knew the
Russians used my column. 1
said, ‘Oh. yeah? top them!"’

Actually, Buchwald said. he
doesn’t care if the Russians use
his column. “I really work for
the CIA and my column is really
a code for our agents in
Moscow." he explained.

For 'hose who could not
remember all the intricate
details of Watergate. Buchwald
was equipped with what he
termed his "Watergate Trivia
Test."

“Nixon had two vice presidents
during his second term in office.
One was Jerry Ford. Who was
the other one?

“On the night five men broke
into the national headquarters of
the Democratic Party at
Watergate, several men were
stashed away at a motel across
the street. What was the name of
‘he motel and how many flavors
of ice cream do they sell?

“When Ron Ziegler was in—
formed of the Watergate break-in
he said he would not comment on

ali'hird-rate burglary-.‘ Name a

first-rate burglary that Ziegler

' has commented on.

“President Nixon had five
attorney generals. One said
‘judge us not by what we say, but
by what we do.’ Who was he and
how many states was he indicted
in?"

Budiwald confessed he has
always wanted to be a por-
nography writer. “1 get so ex-
cited doing the research. though.
that I never get around to the
book." he said.

“I received my sex education
in the local candy store after
schoolwhen l was 11 and 12 years
old." he said. “The 13 year-olds
told us and we believed every
word. Unfortunately. a lot of
what they said wasn’t true."

Buchwald went into some
detail as be related the “facts" as
he‘d teamed them at the in-
famous candy store.

"If you neck in the back seat of
an automobile the girl
automatically has a baby. That
one kept me out of back seats
until] was 25. And another cause
of pregnancy was the manner in
which a girl was kissed on the
mouth. 1 swea ted for nine moths
every time i kissed a girl.

“We were told we would go
insane if we did certain things.
Most of us were prepared to be
taken off to the booby hatch at
any moment.

The most amazing thing about
the candystore. Buchwald said.
«Was that on his tl‘sth birthday» he
automatically became. an; in-
structor.

(Later. a guest who claimed to
have grown up in Buchwald’s
hometown declared.
“Everything about that candy
store was ‘rue. I know. I was
‘henef‘i

Buchwald said one of his
favorite subjects is computers.
“l've been interested in com-
puters ever since i tried to get out
of the Book-of-the-Month Club.
They sent me a computer card
charging me money every month
even though i wanted out.

"I finally got so mad l bent.
folded and mutilated the card.
hext month they sent me a new
one. it said. ‘lf you ever do that
again we will send you the entire
Encyclopedia Britannica."

Buchwald blamed the
problems in the Middle East on
the Harvard Business School. “If
they hadn't taught those sons of
sheiks to screw us. oil would be $3
a barrel today." he said.

On the more. serious side.
Buchwald assured the crowd they
“would all make it."

"What impressed me most
about Watergate was that
Richard Nixon was forced to
resign from the Presidency for
lying to the American people." he
said.

“i was impressed because
while a leader of the country
resigned and another took his
place i saw no guns. no soldiers.
The only uniforms i saw were
those if two motorcycle cops
directing traffic.

“It amears to me that any
country in the world who can
change leaders without bayonets
has a chance."

AM radio helps pass the time
on long trips through Ohio

Boy. is it great to be back in
God’s country! I made a trip to
the flatlantb of northwestern
Ohio this past weekend to visit
some friends in Ada—my second
home. (Ada is the only town I
know that can be spelled back-
wards and still come out the
same. The unfortunate thing is
that when it is spelled inside out it
comes out Daa.)

Anyway, it's a long drive so I
played the old push-button game
with the wr radio for most of the
four hour trip. (The radio is the
only thing that helps me retain
my sanity through rush hour
traffic in Cincy.) Each time I
head na‘th I end up playing
different combinations of the
button game—mostly because of
all the hills inherent to Kentucky
‘geography‘. ...., ..

I guess one thing I miss is being
able to drive for two or three
hours and listen to the same radio
station. I do have two stations,
though. which are unchallenged
favorites and rule nut all others
whenever I‘m in range: WNOP
in (Iovington and CKLW in
Windsor.

“MW (790 on the dial) is a
Godsend for all you ‘hashed-out
jazz l'reaks‘ like myself. During
the daylight hours. it programs
