UK gets bid

By DICK GABRIEL
Sports Editor

The University of Kentucky basketball
team accepted a bid to the National In-
vitational Tournament t NIT) held in New
York's Madison Square Garden March 13-
21.

Kentucky was one of six teams named
Sunday. The other six participants will be
announced today.

tlthei' participating teams include
th'egoii. Niagara. Providence. Louisville
and North Carolina A&T. The draw which
will decide which eight teams play in the
first round will be’l‘uesday. The remaining
four teams will draw byes.

UK head coach Joe B. Hall, who was
informed of the bid Sunday at 2 p.m.. said
"We're super-pleased that we can finish
the season deserving of this type of
selection. it ‘s a compliment to our players
and the way they persevered through some
rough times.“

Carl Martin, assistant publicity director
for Madison Square Garden, said there
“was no way of knowing what went into the
decision" to invite UK. But Hall offered
three possible reasons.

“Number one is the tradition of Ken-
tucky basketball," Hall said. "Number
two would be our going to the finals last
year tKenlucky finished second in the
nation last year, losing to UCLA in the
championship round of the NCAA tour-
nament.) Number three would be this
season, which included a real tough
schedule, some impressive wins and our
national television wins (over Vanderbilt
in January and Alabama last Saturday)."

Kentucky last appeared in the NIT in
I950, losing to City College of New York
it‘CNY) in the first round.

Kentucky's James Lee (32) evades
Alabama's Reginald King (52) and Leon
Douglas (lit) to drop in the final shot of
UK's 90-85 nationally—televised win over
the Crimson Tide. Lee ended with 21
points and It rebounds. (See story pagetl.)

GI Bill abuse causes stricter regulations

By CINDY CATTELL
Kernel Staff Writer

(Editor's note: This is the first of a two-
part series on financial benefits for student
veterans. Tomorrow's story will deal with
the problems of veterans.)

Nationwide abuse of the GI Bill-:a
federal program intended to help defray
the costs of armed forces veterans‘ college
educations—has resulted in stricter
regulations from the Veterans’ Ad-
ministration WA).

“illiam Susling, consultant for the
Educational Rehabilitation Service in
\lashington. said GI Bill abuse is a
"national scandal."

Abuse often takes the form of veterans
collecting GI Bill benefits for full time
studaits. but tailing to attend classes.

Susling said the \'A‘s exact losses from
(it Bill abuse are impossible to compute.
But he said. at the end of the last fiscal
year. the \‘A had a total of $200 million
outstanding in riverpayments,

Donald Smith. national VA information
services director. said colleges and

universities have been lax in overseeing
and reporting the academic progress of
studait veterans.

But new regulations requiring in-
stitutions to record veterans' per-
formances and report to the VA any
changes in credit hours or academic
standing should help alleviate the
problem. Smith said. The manner in
which the regulations are implemented,
however, is left to the institution.

Kentucky has gone further than the
federal government requires in at-
tempting to stop GI Bill abuse.

The state has an accountability policy
requiring full-time students -who are
veterans to complete at least 75 per cent of
the credit hours required for full-time
status in any given semester in order to
collect the average $321 per month allotted
a veteran with one dependent.

This phase of the policy is intended to
prevent veterans from enrolling as full-
time students. collecting benefits and
failing to attend classes. '

The Kentucky policy also requires

professors to record the last date of at-
tendancein a course from which a veteran
withdraws. That means, theoretically,
instructors are to take the roll of all
veterans ateach class meeting. But Linda
Anderson. University VA benefits
director. said it is all but impossible to
enforce the policy.

“It (the accountability policy) will do
very little to stop the potential rip-offs,“
she said ”There will always be a few
people trying to beat the system.”

(.‘ounter to the national trends cited by
Susling, Anderson said no UK students
have been caught attempting to defraud
the VA “Unless there is an infraction of
the Student Code, there is nothing we can
do,“ she said.

A management analyst for the regional
VA office in Louisville. said since October
1975 when he was assigned to the office, no
cases of GI Bill abuse have been
prosecuted in Kentucky to his knowledge.

He said canplaints have been received.
but investiga tions have resulted in settling
of accouns in cases involving over-
payments or in dropping the cases

altogether. In light of thatfact, he said he
cannot gauge the effectiveness of the state
accountability policy.

University officials acquainted with the
(it Bill program disagree on the ef-
fectiveness of the accountability policy.
While Anderson said she does not believe
the policy will deter GI Bill abuse,
another official. who wished to remain
anonymous, disagreed.

“Since the state government recently
put into action the accountability policy,
VA n‘p-offs will be next to impossible. It
will put into check those vets who sign up
for classes merely to receive a VA check
andthen never show for class," the official
said.

On one point, however. both Anderson
and the official agreed. Abuse of the GI
Bill among UK’s 2,000 veteran students is
minimal. “If it is happening." the official
said, “it's on a very small scale."

Anderson echoed those sentiments.
“There will always be a few people trying
to beat the system,“ she said. “But less
than one per cent of the vets are rip-off
artists."

All Lexington women are for-
tunate to have the Lexington Rape
Crisis Center on hand for emotional
counseling in the case of rape.
Lexington is the only place in
central Kentucky that offers
emotional recourse for rape vic-
tims.

Lexington is also the only city
with a physical recourse for rape
victims through the UK Medical
Center, which offers treatment to
victims. Most rape victims in the
region are refused treatment
because hospitals and doctors
refuse to be responsible.

The rape center’s 24-hour crisis
line is staffed by approximately 50

most of whom are
volunteers. The center’s staff is
also involved in community
education proiects and speaks at
various meetings of organizations.

But even with the center,
Lexington rape victims still face
many problems, mostly caused by
state laws and law enforcement
officials. Rape Crisis Center
Director Pat Elam is working to
form a statewide task force that
would unite representatives from
the medical, legal and law en-
forcement areas,and, hopefully,
solve many of the problems.

Until then, however, Lexington

The discussions raging on the
editorial pages concerning abortion
contains errors of fact. The writers say
that life begins at conception. Actually,
it begins before conception. More
precisely, life is a continuum, with no
point recognizable as the beginning
except perhaps for the origin of life
itself some three billion years ago.

The egg and sperm are just as alive
as the young embryo. They are the
alternate generation of humankind,
indispensible links in the infinite chain
of generations. Why no concern for
their welfare?

Consider the sperm. Anyone who has
viewed them through a microscope or
on a movie screen has to be impressed
by these multitudes of tiny creatures,
each one distinctive, independent and
traveling his own way in this world.
They are individuals; they are alive;
they are hu man, and thus entitled to the
same constitutional rights as the rest of
us, especially life, liberty and pursuit of

Those who would protect the embryo
but not the sperm or egg, decree a
special significance for conception,

Parking lot

Editor:

Onceagain on the issue of South Hill.
Pro-parking lot persons when pressed
with strong argument against the 15.3-
acre lot seem to fall back on the con-
dition of South Hill. These feeble ex-
cuses range from, "it should have been
condemned,” to, "Have you seen it?"
Yes, I have and so have many others,
but we have also seen much worse

areas in Lexington. Lack of con-
sistency in reference to removal of
condemned areas weakens this
argument greatly.

The only reason South Hill was
chosen is because of its location. The

govemmenf wants that land and shrugs
its shoulder at citizen rights and full r
eimbursement. It is time that pro-
parking persons take a better look at
both sides of the issue, instead of simply
following a government lead with their
ears and eyes closed. Who knows, your
house could be next!

Constitution is subject

  

 
 

  
 

 
  

to court interpretation

 

By c. E. Blackburn

 

I, too, have been reading the letters and
articles in the Kernel concerning the
Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). While I
am sorely tempted to rebut your in-
terpretation ofthe need (or lack of it) fora
27th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, I
am patently aware of thefactthat I am not
a scholar of constitutional law. However,
certain statements by Steven Lutz (”In
ignorance there is strength," Kernel,
March 4) require comment.

The constitution is the basic law of the
land and as such is subject to precise in-
terpretation. To this end, the persons who
founded this nation saw fit to create a
Supreme Court whose iudgements are so
binding that they may be altered only by
another constitutional amendment.
Despite this overseeing function of the
court, certain ”privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States" have con-
sistently and willfully been abridged. I will
cite twoexamples in an effort to clarify the
mechanisms of constitutional in.
terpretation.

When the Bill of Rights was drafted, two
of the rights granted therein to all citizens
of the United States were the rights
against self—incrimination (fifth amend-
ment) and against unlawful search and
seizure (fourth amendment). However,
these rights applied only to those persons
under federal iurisdiction and did not
apply in the state courts.

It was not until 1961 that the Supreme
Court held in the case of Mapp v. Ohio that
citizens have the right against unlawful
search and seizure in state courts. This
decision was decided on the basis of the
"due process clause" of the nth amend-
ment. In 1964 the Supreme Court again
cited the lath amendment in ruling that the
rights of citizens to refuse to testify

against themselves was to be granted in
the state courts. The case was Maloy v.
Hogan. lf Lutz wants to read the opinions
in these cases, he will find that the
evidence was not marginai and that the
two rights indicated were in fact blatantly
denied. '

The fact that the court only as recently
as i961 and 1964 has held basic rights
clearly stated in the constitution . ap—
plicable to the states under the 14th
amendment, leads me to doubt that the
scope or the 14th amendment
automatically includes granting equal
rights to men and women. Even if this
were the intentof the amendment, it would
require a ruling by the Supreme Court on
the consttutionality under the 14th
amendment of every law that exists in
every state that grants different privileges
and responsibilities to males and females.
in lightof the present caseload of the court
it is mostunlikely thatthis course would be
followed.

It is not my intent to give "a short course
on the US Constitution” in this com-
mentary. Rather, I would hope to inform
Lutz, without using "at the ignorance at
(my) disposal," that his statements are
unfounded and incorrect.

Contrary to his opinion, it does not
"serve as an ego builder” for me to favor
ratification of the E RA. Furthermore, l do
not consider myself a member of the
"extremely vocal radical minority of the
women's movement." I consider myself to
be a member of a rational group of human
beings who recognize that while the words
of the lath amendment may be Similar to
those of the proposed 27th amendment, the
spirit and the interpretation in the courts
has not been such. Therefore, those of us
who consider equality under the law to be
unattainable under the 14th. amendment
see the need for a 27th.

Equal rights
14th amendment guarantees
do not apply to women

 

By Chris Macoluso

 

The ignorance of which Stephen Lutz speaks (”In
Ignorance there is Strength,” Kernel, March 4) is
entirely his own. His exposition of the effect of the
14th amendment is incorrect, and his assessment of
the impact of the proposed 27th amendment ——
Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) —is inaccurate.
His attempt to dispel the ignorance of those who he
claims have never heard of the 14th amendment
contains misleading and erroneous information in
the guise of constitutional scholarship.

A brief glance at the history of the 14th amend-
ment is enough to convince one that it has not been.
and will not be, utilized by the courts to grant to
women the rights which it guarantees to ”persons.”

The 14th amendment was adopted after the Civil
War specifically to declare blacks citizens and to
guarantee their rights. Section 2 of the amendment,
which applies to voting rights, introduced the word
“male” into the U .5. Constitution for the first time.
Some of the leading feminists of the day —notably
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan 8. Anthony —
opposed the amendment, apparently because they
felt that, as it was written, the courts would not
interpret the amendment to guarantee women’s
rights.

History has vindicated that judgment, and in case
after case the courts have refused to extend the
guarantees of the amendment to women.

For example, in 1869 Myra Bradwell passed the
Illinois bar examination but was refused admission
to the bar solely because she was a woman. Her
case ultimately reached the United States Supreme
Court under the 14th amendment.

”The natural and proper timidity and delicacy
which belongs to the female sex evidently unfits it
for many of the occupations of civil life, ”she was
told by the court.” The constitution of the family
organization, which is founded in the divine or-
dinance, as well as in the nature of things, indicates
the domestic sphere as that which properly belongs
to the domain and functions of womanhood.“
(Bradwell v. Illinois, 83 US. (16 Wall.) I30 at 141,
1873). Thus, the highest court of the land came to the
conclusion that the 14th amendment did not give to
women the same occupational rights enjoyed by
men. Although all states now allow women to
practice law, it is not because the 14th amendment
so requires.

More recently ——in l947 —a Ms. Goesaert
challenged a state law that made it illegal for
women to work as barmaids unless they were the
wives or daughters of male bar owners. Goesaert
owned a bar and her daughter was her main em-
ploye; the state law effectively put them out of
business. They sued to have the law declared un-
constitutional under the 14th amendment.

The Supreme Court held the law valid, and wrote:
"The fact that women may now have achieved the
virtues that men have long claimed as their
prerogatives and now indulge in vices that men
have long practiced, does not preclude the States
from drawing a sharp line between the sexes,
certainly, in such matters as the regulation of the
quua' traffic.” (Goesaertv. Cleary, 335 U.S. 464 at
466, (1948). Once more, the caurt held that the 14th
amendment did not give women the same rights as
men.

In the 1970‘s, the Supreme Court has been some-
what more sensitive to the rights of women, but the
picture is still bleak. In isolated cases the court has
required that the same rights enjoyed by men be
extended to women, and four of the nine justices
deCIared sex to be a "suspect" classification,
thereby placing it in the same category with race as
a method of classification which cannot be utilized

unless there is a “compelling interest“ to be fur-
thered. (Frontiero v. Richardson, 411 U.$. 677 at
682, 1973).

A majority of the court, however, has never held
that sex is a suspect classification, and in fact the
court has recently upheld several laws that include
sex~based distinctions. Thus, the court has
reiterated that the 14th amendment does not
equalize the rights of men and women, and has
made it clear that equality can never be achieved
within the framework of that amendment.

Furthermore, Justice Lewis Powell has said that
it is not appropriate for the Supreme Court to bring
sex discrimination within the purview of the 14th
amendment: ”The Equal Rights Amendment...has
been adopted by the Congress and submitted for
ratification by the States. If this amendment is duly
adopted, it will represent the will of the people
accomplished in the manner prescribed by the
constitution...” seems to me that...reaching out to
pre-empt by judicial action a major political
decision which is currently in process of resolution
does not reflect appropriate respect for duly
prescribed legislative processes.” (Frontiero v.
Richardson, supra, at 692, Powell, J., concurring in
the judgment).

Under thisanalysis, only the ERA can provide the
necessary constitutional basis for equality of rights
between men and women, and if the E RA should fail
to be ratified by the requisite number of states, it
would provide a basis for the court to hold that the
rights of men and women are not and should not
necessarily be equal. Thus, defeatot the E RA could
effectively preclude continued use of the 14th
amendment in sex discrimination cases.

To move to the affirmative, there are several
reasons why the E RA is needed. First, as indicated
above, piecemeal litigation under the 14th amend-
ment has not proved successful in eliminating sex
discrimination because the courts have not been
willing to hold that the amendment extends the
same rights to women as to men. The ERA would
require that courts extend all rights to men and
women equally.

Second, while Congress has had no difficulty in
finding constitutional bases for legislation aimed at
prohibiting sex discrimination, it has no clear
constitutional mandate to eradicate all deprivations
of rights based on sex. The ERA would provide such
a mandate, and would place the right to be free of
sex discrimination on a constitutional basis.

Third, the ERA would provide a national standard
to be complied with by the states as well as the
federal government. It would also be a more per-
manent standard than those embodied in
legislation, because while all of the existing laws
prohibiting sex discrimination could be repealed by
the action of the legislatures alone, repeal of a
constitutional amendment would require action by
three-fourths of the states.

Fourth, sex discrimination is a problem that

presents unique social and legal problems, and it is.

therefore appropriate that it be dealt with as an
entity separate from other forms of discrimination.
sothatthe law will be able to develop in accordance
with the particular problems encountered.

All of this, however, is only the legal case for the
ERA, and does not look to its important
psychological ramifications.Lutz characterized the
ERA as an egobuilder, and in a sense it must be
admitted that it is just that —it is an affirmation of
the personhood of women, a status that the courts
have not seen tit to confirm under the 14th amend-
ment. Women, as persons in their own right, need
the ERAto guarantee their personhood, legally and
psychologically. In the ERA there is strength to
Overcome the ignorance of the past.

Company negatiates
takeover by Arabs

PANAMA CITY. Fla. (AP)—Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ahmed
Ya mani has joined U. S. oil company executives in this resort town
for negotiations expected to result in the takeover of Aramco. the
giant Arabian American Oil Co., by Saudi Arabia.

The U. S. State Department confirmed that Sheik Yamani was
here for an Aramco meeting Saturday night after two days of
speculation aboutthe arrivals of American oil executives under
unusually tight security at a local airport.

The 100 per cent acquisition of the largest international oil
production company'from the previous four American owners—
Exxon, Mobil, Standard Oil of California and Texaco—would
climax a process begun in 1973 when the Saudis bought 25 per cent
of the firm.

It would also symbilize an historic shift in dominant power from
the private, Western—owned oil goliaths to the Third World oil
producers.

Reagan intensifies
his criticism of Ford

MIAMI (AP)-—With what may be the crucial vote in Ronald
Reagan‘s campaign for the presidency two days away, the former
California governor switched his attack on Sunday from the Ford
administration’s foreign policy to the economic front.

President Ford, who made two recent weekend forays into
Florida. decided not to return before the Tuesday voting. He
remained in Washington aftera two-day tripto Illinois, which holds
a March 16 primary. and gave an interview to 28 Florida broad-
casters.

With the President having won the first three Republican
primaries in New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts,
Tuesday’s voting in what is considered a conservative state has

' become crucial in Reagan’s challenge to Ford. Most observers

believe a loss could put the Reagan campaign in serious trouble.

Reagan built an impressive earlylead in Florida and his state
campaign manager, L. E. “Tommy” Thomas predicted on Jan. 24
that he would win by a 2-1 margin. Two weeks ago, Thomas
downgraded that figure to 55 per cent—a figure Reagan himself
said was too optimistic—and last week said it was conceivable Ford
would win.

Rep. Wright Patman dies

WASHINGTON (AP)—Rep. Wright Patman, the dean of the
House of Representatives and its leading critic of the banking in-
dus try, died early Sunday. He was 82 years old.

He had been admitted to Bethesda Naval Medical Center on Feb.
26 for treatment of pneumonia, earlier diagnosed as influenza.

Pa lman, a Democrat, was serving in his 48th year in the House.
He announced Jan. 14 that he would step down after his current

appears in Louisville

LOUISVILLE. Ky. (AP)—Anti-abortion activist Ellen Mc-
Cormack told a group of about 700 persons Saturday to get more
involved in the political system because “it is too important to be
left solely to the relatively few professional politicians.”

Mrs. McCormack, a Long Island, N.Y., housewife who is seeking
the Democratic presidential nomination, spoke to the third annual
Right to Life of Louisville banquet. ,

She said she is encouraged in her political campaign by primary

 Campus rally attracts

5O ERA supporters

By it E\' S’I‘EV ENS
Kernel Sta ff \\ riter

Cold. dreary weather placed a
damper on the campus Equal
Rights Amendment (ERA) rally
on the Student Center patio last
Friday.

The rally. which was attended
by about 50 people, was further
interrupted by a Student (‘enter
representative who forced the
removal of signs stuck to the
building and would not allow free
food and lemonade to be
distributed among the listeners.

"The purpose of this rally is to
showsupport for the ERA and the
rally to be held in Frankfort
Match ti," said Bronson ltozier.
state sixth district Pro-ERA
Alliance member The rally was
sponsored by the t‘ampus Pro-
riliA Alliance.

“The majority of Kentuckians
support this amendment and we
want people to know this." Ttozier
said. "L'K and T'niversitv of
Louisville polls have shown that
70 per cent of the people in
Kentucky support it."

A bill to rescind Kentucky‘s
1972 ratification of the ERA was
passed by the house and is now-
stalled in a senate committee.

Carol Dussere. campus Pro-
ERA Alliance member, at—
tempted to dispel the myths and
distortions that have been spread
about the amendment. She said

some of the myths are women
will lose their rights to alimony.
state protective laws based on
sex would be abolished. women
would be subjected to draft and
combat and mothers would lose
the custody of their children in
dyorce and separation cases.
"It is essential that women's
rights supporters take the 0f-
t'ensive against these lies.“
Dussere said. “explaining the
real issues at stake in the ERA
fight and exposing the true
nature of the anti-ERA forces."
(‘raig ()lson. campus alliance
member. said. “Ratification of
the Equal Rights Amendment is
the number one priority tacing

women today. lt will be im—
portant for ERA supporters to.
attend the national demon-

stration in support of the EHA
May 15 and to in Springfield. Ill.“

’l‘hroughout the rally musical
entertainment w as provided by
lili’A supporters. who often
referred to won‘ien's rights in
their music.

(‘athy Ross. another campus
alliance member. said
"T’assivity and apathy among
studmts contributed to low at-
tendance of the rally. It‘s a
shame that the warm weathei‘
didn‘t hold out one day longer.
people were unwilling to sit on
cold benches and pavement for
long periods of time to listen to a
subject that they thought they
already knew about."
