retained their positions when a re-election
was held Monday and Tuesday.

Winners in the election were Randy
Wynkoop. 42 votes; Charles Hughes. 35;
and Hope Hughes. 34. A total of 106 ballots
were cast with each voter allowed to vote
for three of the 13 candidates running.

An appeal fora new election was filed by
Paul Dukeshire shortly after results of the
April 9 and 10 election were released.
Dukeshire‘s name was accidentally
omitted from the official ballot in the
previous election.

Dukeshire tallied 20 votes in the new

needed for operating the facility.

DR. JAMES FUNK. dean of the College
of Engineering, said the gasit’ication
plant would produce 400,000 cubic feet of
low-BTU gas for the University heating
system while using at least 29,500 tons of
coal annually.

He said federal funding and a company
to build the structure are currently being
sought.

Operating cost of the facility would
increase to $1.3 million per year if the
price of coal increased to $30 a ton. The
Mason-McDowell operating figure was
based on a $15 per ton cost.

IT “AS explained that UK could
eventually save money by producing its
own gas for heating plant use. since the
price ofnatural gas is expected to rise to at
least $2 per million BTU‘s. Columbia Gas

currently supplies domestic retail users a
million BTU‘s for $1.05.

“Gasifying coal is a simple process,"
Funk explained. ”You just burn it at about
2.000 degrees Fahrenheit. collect and clean
the gases produced an pump the product
directly into your boilers.“

The proposed facility could be used to
develop better methods of cleaning the gas
to stricter environmental standards. as
well as conduct research into more ef-
ticient methods of burning low-sulphur
coal. Funk said.

Removal of sulphur dioxide from the
gases of burning coal is of major concern
to most environmentalists. since the foul-
smelling gas would be eliminated.

The plant detailed by the engineering
firm Tuesday contains several gas-
cleaning steps. including removal of solid
particles and water removal of potential
noxious fumes.

It's nice but...

Bicyclists using Nicholasville Road and Limestone
Street as a route to campus will be able to look for-
ward to safer trips once construction of ramps onto

sidewalks at

various congested

intersections

completed in mid-summer.

The project. which gives Lexington its first com-
muter bike path. was three years in the making and is
expected to draw even more people to school on two-

wheelers instead of cars.

Officials now estimate 500

persons commute to UK on this route.

While we‘re glad to see this achievement on the part
of the city. we are still disturbed by the lack of safety
precautions provided UK bikers by the University.
Other than an abundance of concrete racks little is
directly offered to cyclists.

If administrators in the past few University ad-
ministrations had followed ideas originated in a 1965
vehicular traffic plan which called for the eventual

implementation of bike paths across campus

we

would have a safer environment for riders and

pedestrians.

It's obvious bikes are here to stay. They help cut
down on the amount of air pollution, persons living
within riding distance can now save gasoline money
by peddling and the exercise received from the sport

is usually something we could all tolerate.

The

University, however. seems unwilling to provide
benefits for enthusiasts. At other major universities
bike paths separate peddlers from walkers. In many
instances special bike lanes have been designed on

university streets.

Plans by administrators and students have gone

on too long here in an unorganized fashion.

If

anything is to be accomplished in the near future for
the benefit of bikers, leadership must come from
either the Office of the President or Student Govern-
ment. One, or both of these sources, should establish a
committee with the specific goal of correcting this

unexcused oversight.

Congress: 'We are going to get his ass'

WASHINGTON — A
Congressman was overheard, the
other day, saying in tones of
angry laughter. “We’re going to
impeach his ass. We‘re going to
do it."

He's right. We‘re going to do
it. although nobody will quite
know why. In the case of
President Andrew Johnson,
policy as well as pride and per-
sonality were involved. Nixon‘s
policies, such as they are, would
never get another man im-
peached. Nevertheless. one
senses the decision has been
made and that some time in the
next year or so. if riot sooner,
Nixon will be impeached. con~
victed and thrown out onto the
sidewalks of Pennsylvania
Avenue. Your daily newspaper
will carry a picture of the rear
end of the moving van, and a
caption will explain that some of
the van‘s contents may become
taxdeductible gifts.

None of this has to do with
whether or not there are enough
votes in the House of
Representatives to do him in

now. Before too long there will
be. But the formal process of
legal impeachment has to wait
upon a kind of informal social
impeachment, whereby the man
is stripped of the reverence,
protections and deference with
which we treat our Presidents.
He has to be tried, convicted,
disgraced and expelled before he
is formally accused.

That goes against our much-
quoted dictum that a man is
innocent until proven guilty, but
such is our awe of the
Presidential office that we can’t
lay rough, legal hands on its
occupant, unless we are already
certain ofhisguilt. The process is
terribly unjust to Nixon, who
can‘t possibly get a fair trial, but
it will preserve the kind of
monarchical presidency that we
dole on.

To accomplish this, Nixon must
be turned into a pariah before the
House Judiciary Committee
recommends his impeachment.
We have a thousand devices for
that. Until a few months ago, any
American President could have

under the dispensation of im-
peachment, Nixon is going “to be

President is only treated like
everybody else when he is on his
way to being turned into a non-
President.

You strip Nhixon of the golden
aura of potens et majestas by
having Galloping poll takers
bounce around the country,
asking if we think the President
should be impeached. An even
better example is a recent
Harris Survey that ran in one
paper under a headline reading:
“Public Believes Dean Over
President.“ The wording of the
question itself would have laid
Harris open to charges of
blasphemy and lese majesty a
year ago: “Who do you think has
been more truthful about the
Watergate cover-up—President
Nixon or John Dean?"

about Nixon and his family are

Involvement

One of the most pressing issues
facing America today is the
determination of some form of
national health policy. While our
legislators prepare to deal with
this in Washington, we students
can participate on a level much
closer to home. The UK Student
Health Advisory Committee
(SHAC) is a group of concerned

now broadcast and repeated with
the special satisfaction of the
self-righteous. Other Presidents
have had to take this kind of
insulting deglamorization from
their enemies, but Nixon is
getting it from almost everybody.
Had the French come forward
with a bunch of documents to
prove that Louis XVI wasn‘t
really the legitimate King of
France, they would be doing what
we‘re doing. We‘re showing
ourselves that we aren’t com-
mitting regicide, because this
character Nixon isn‘t our real
King.

In all of this, Nixon has been
unfailingly cooperative. By
playing with his yo-yo in public,
by swearing he isn‘t a crook, by
his hand-pumping vulgarities at
Pompidou‘s funeral, by two-
dozen gaucheries large and
small, he makes it easier and
easier for his friends to disavow
him. Theway he has released the

seems calculated to do him
maximum damage. He does it

MARSHFIELD, Vt.—-Yes, there is a
movement—young, alive and spread-
ing roots in the country. It's not the
same as the movement of the late
nineteen-sixties’ psychedelic flowering
and new-leftism, although a number of
people have made the transition.

The person who comes to mind is
Jake Guest, who in 1968 was an
avowed anarchist and a leader of dem-
onstrations against R.O.T.C. and de-
fense contracts at Dartmouth College.
After retiring from political activism,
he and a group started a communal
farm that became a model of agricul-
tural self-sufficiency. Now with short-
er hair and on a leave of absence from
the commune until planting time, Jakc

carries a briefcase and is organizing .

local distribution of winter storage
vegetables between the growers and
the increasing number of food cooper-
atives.

I'm working with Jake on that proj-
ect. Over the vegetarian special at
Hal's in Hanover the other day, he
remarked, ‘ You wouldn't suspect there
was anything radical about a commu-
nity root cellar?" To which I added.
“Not unless you go back to the Latin
derivation of ‘radical’-—-‘going to the
roots.’ "

From my hilltop in Vermont, I have
become aware of a movement taking
root around farming, food and com-
munity. ultimately touching upon the
basic assumptions of our economy and
society.

In New Haven, Vt., a group of young
farmers have begun to bottle raw milk;
in Burlington, sweaters are knitted
from wool from the growing number
of sheep farms; in Benson, a black-
smith shop has opened and a farm has
developed a methane digester, and in
most of the cities and major towns
food co-ops have doubled their sales.

Beyond Vermont, similar cooperative
projects have sprouted in neighbor-
hoods, new communities, small towns
and cities. In Ithaca, N. Y., there is a
worker-controlled furniture factory: in
the Adams-Morgan section of Wash-
ington, D. C., trout grow in cellar
tanks, and in Smithville, 6a., a black
farm community has produced a bump-
er crop of soybeans.

Unlike the top-heavy ideological, na-
tional—network politics of the sixties,
the style of these projects is very local,

(I

long-term and low-key. The main dif-
ference is organizational: The aim is
to work not from the top down but
from the bottom up.

In part, this strategy stems from an
analysis that real power—economic,
not political—has become perilously
concentrated. Surrounded by national
and multinational corporations that
have monopolized our food and fuel
supply, our only strategy of resistance
appears to begin by creating small
local bases of self-sufficiency and com-
:::'. n'ty.

In the last five years, a new wave
of settlers from urban areas have
transplanted themselves to northern
New England. They have reclaimed
old hill farms, opened craft shops and
wood-working mills, rejuvenated aban-
doned towns and started new commu-
nities, newspapers and restaurants.
One of the clearest economic indicators
of this movement has been the pro-
liferation of food co—ops. In the last
year, the co-ops in Vermont and west-
ern New Hampshire, with more than
5,000 families. have doubled their
monthly gross to $60,000.

This growth has been consciously
decentralized. Instead of buying into
the bigger-is-better policy of vertically
organized co-ops, the new co-ops have
grown horizontally. The cellular organ-
ization is composed of groups of ten
to twenty families, usually within the
same town, who rotate the responsi-

 

bility for collating orders and distribut-
ing food. These local co-ops have con-
fcderated on the regional level to do
long-distance trucking, bulk buying,
accounting and, in the Boston area, to
send a buyer to the wholesale market
at Chelsea.

The present energy crisis and an
imminent food crisis have given firmer
footing to this movement. Potters. in-
dividualistic like most craftsmen, are
considering a co-operative wood-burn-
ing kiln. Affected by shortages and
climbing transportation costs, the food
co-ops have shifted greater energy to
the restoration of the local food econ-
omy. Jake says: “Why pay to ship
rice from California? Why not eat corn
meal? Flint corn grows fine around
here."

Last season, I worked with a grow-
ers’ cooperative that trucked vege-
tables to a network of co-ops in New

York City. This season, we have joined
with consumer cu-ops.to distribute
winter storage vegetables, start farm-
crs markets and set up community
canning and storage centers.

Within the limits of these small proj-
ects, organizers have gradually be-
come aware that one farmer‘s market
connects to a whole skein of inter-
dependent relationships. To be sus-
tained the year round, a market re-
quires a volume and diversity of vege-
tables, fruits, dairy products, eggs,
sunflower oil and grains. In turn, there

In town and country, a return to roots

 

must be cider and grain mills and
oil-pressing plants, foundries to make
small farm implements and institutes
to design the implements and find new
power sources. And there must be, we
have discovered, a banking and land-
exchange system, and thus -- the
crunch—a political base to get bank
charters and land reform.

Here as elsewhere, these movements
have not yet entered electoral politics.
However, in Vermont the strength
and shape of a new rural coalition
has been indicated by groups who have
fought to alter electric rates to bene-
fit the small conservative user, and to
bring Blue Cross-Blue Shield under
public control. In the process, a work-
able alliance has been demonstrated
among young people. unions and
workers, low-income people. hill farm-
ers and a few professionals.

For now, most of the energy of this
movement is being directed to what
is primary and life-sustaining. We have
learned the organizers rule: Begin
with basic, felt needs and work from
there. On the surface, there‘s nothing
so radical about a few cooperative root
cellars. Still. the metaphor holds. You
know the true vitality of a young
plant not by its first green sprouts,
but only in the unseen spread of gath-
cring roots.

Together.“ a book about the communal
movement.

Austrian president

dies after long illness

VIENNA (AP) —- President‘

Franz Jonas of Austria died
shortly after midnight Wed-
nesday morning, the presidential
office announced. He was 74.

The announcement did not
disclose the cause of death. Jonas
had been hospitalized since
March 23.

The nature of Jonas‘ illness,
described officially as grave, was
never revealed. A medical
bulletin issued late Tuesday by
the presidential office said the
president's condition was
deteriorating steadily.

Chancellor Bruno Kreisky
assumed the duties of the
presidential office March 27 after
Jonas said he was unable to
perform them.

’I‘IIE l)l"l‘lES of the president
are largely ceremonial and
political power resides in the
chancellorship.

Jonas. a former mayor of
Vienna. was elected to his first
six—year term in 1965. In 1971 he
was re-elected, defeating Kurt
Waldheim, who later became
secretary-general of the United
Nations.

He was born Oct. 4. 1899. in
Vienna, and worked as a
typesetter, proofreader and
clerk.

Eventually he entered
government and political work,
serving on aVienna neighborhood
council, as city counselor for food
supplies and agriculture. as city
housing chief and finally as
mayor from 1951-65.

Identify problem plagues

material science fields

James G. Morris. associate
metal engineering professor.
feels that the decrease in
enrollment in the metallurgical
engineering and material science
departments at UK may be due to
curriculum and identity
problems.

Morris said he thinks the
metallurgy curriculum is not
sufficient to generate the interest
and enthusiasm needed to attract
more students.

"VERY FEE“ OF our
graduating students come into
the department as freshmen.“
Morris said. “Most transfer from
somewhere else.“

Morris also said there is an
identity problem in the
metallurgical field. “Most high
school students don't even know
what the word metallurgy
means." he said. "In fact. they
can't even pronounce it if you tell
them what it means.“

“There isn‘t anything to in—
troduce students to metallurgy,"
Morris added.

Till-IRE ARE currently 13
undergraduates, 11 graduate
students and eight faculty
members working in the Henry
Wendt Shop.

The Wendt Shop serves as the
foundry and also as the
laboratory where metallurgical
students receive much of their
practical experience.

The Wendt Shop, however. is
only a small part of the
metallurgical engineering
laboratory, Larry Rice. one of the
two technicians in the depart-
ment said. More emphasis is
placed on more advanced and
sophisticated engineering
equipment according to Rice.

He added that a lot ofeffort has

been put into recruitment of
undergraduates this past year.

TOKYO — Japan and the

step toward major international

A protocol signed Monday sets
the terms under which Moscow
could get over $1 billion in
Japanese loans provided
agreement can be reached on
other details of the development
projects.

The protocol could be a major
break—through in the long
negotiations on Siberian
development. which gained
