Protesters march on Mayor Pettit's home

By MONTY N. FOLEY
Kernel Staff Writer

Fifteen persons paraded in front of the Richmond Road
home of Lexington Mayor Foster Pettit late Monday af-
ternoon to protest the demolition of South Hill housing.

Among the demonstrators. members of the People Not
Profits Project (PNPP) citizens‘ group. was one elderly
woman. Florence Hahn. whose 33] South Spring St.
residence is targeted for demolition.

Hahn. whose home is owned by the Lexington Center
(‘orporation (LCC). said she has been trying to rent
another house for weeks. She said the Urban County
Government's tl.'(‘G) tenants services office has been
unable to help her relocate because "there aren’t any
houses available."

To further complicate her situation. Hahn said her
present home is "without heat because the gas meter has
been removed."

While the future of Hahn's dwelling remains in doubt.
other houses in the South Hillarea _, which is bordered by
Broadway. High and Maxwell Streets - were leveled last
week to provide space for Lexington Civic Center parking
lots.

Butl‘urther demolition. including the home of Hahn. has
been halted at least until Dec. 1 by an agreement between

a South Hill resident‘s attorney and LCC and UCG at-
torneys.

That agreement was reached after the South Hill at-
torney. Oscar Geralds, filed suit last Thursday against the
LCC and UCG. The suit claims that relocation money and
assistance have not been provided for South Hill
residents who are being forced to move.

On Dec. l.(}eralds must convince Fayette (‘ircuit Judge

Armand Angelucci that the suit is valid. or demolition will 'ﬁ

FCSUHIC.

At yesterday's protest march. a spokesman for PNPP.
Mason Taylor. said the group was concerned with other
issues in addition to the South Hill Housing controversy.

However, Taylor said the destruction of housing
exemplary of how local government is more concerned
with “increasing downtown property values that it is with
)eing responsive to the needs of people."

Taylor said PNPP held the demonstration. knowing that
Mayor Pettit was not at home.

Another protester said the Mayor's home was selected
as the site for the protest because “it‘s at the homes of
influential citizens that most important government
decisions are made rather than in public meetings.“

PNPP also held a recent demonstration near the home
of the late Gal‘VlS Kincaid.

.\ssistant Managing Editor

The Student Government political af~
lairs committee watered down an anti-
l'N.‘ resolution and sent it back to the
s‘tudent Senate for its consideration.

The committee was asked by the senate
'o consider a resolution that would have
condenmed the (IN. for calling Zionism
racist. and would have asked the US. to
reduce its funding of the UN. by 25 per
cent and use the money saved to help New
York ('ity.

Marion Wade. former Arts and Sciences
senator and sponsor of the resolution,
asked the committee to delete the sections
ol the rtsolution pertaining to the US.
funding and the New York (‘ity allocation.

The committee then deleted a section of
‘he resolution that claimed that Zionists
were in fact not racist.

The linal resolution condemned the l' .N.

action because “labeling and namecalling
serve no peaceful or constructive pur-
poses."

Several Arab students attended the
meeting to express their views.

"l think that the committee should
consider what Zionism means and what
racist means. In this case. Zionism is a
lorm of racism because it oppresses
Arabs culturally and politically," said
Mohammad Sahmassi. math graduate.

Wade said the UN. resolution “legalized

anti-Semitism." although he said that
Zionists engage in “discriminatory

practices."

Dennis George. Business and Economics
senator. said the resolution "had nothing
to do with anything on campus.“ He
supported a resolution stating that Zionists
on campus were not racist.

“As tar away as we are. and as little as
\H' know about it. really. it is really futile
'o try and takea stand on this issue." said

Jeanne Rachford. Nursing senator.

“There is some right and some wrong on
both sides." Rachford said.

The final resolution. which had the
general approval of the committee. will be
presented for senate action at its Dec. 11
meeting.

In other action:

The committee voted to urge the
senate to lend $100. and give $50. to the
campus chapter of National Organization
for the Reform. of Marijuana Laws
«NUHMIA to finance lobbying efforts and
to enable NORML to raise funds.

The committee voted to allow lob-
byists seven cents a mile for tran-
sportation costs. allow $10 for purchase of
the legislative record. and $50 for a
legislative banquet.

The committee voted to urge the
senate to "lobby strongly" for the lowering
of the drinking age to 18.

i Clarity

rule enforcement

In a surprising break from the
normal routine, the Dean of Stu
dents Office declined, and even
took steps to avoid, enforcing a
University regulation.

The regulation in question (found
in Part lll of the ”Student Rights
and Responsibilities” booklet)
involves where one may speak on
campus. The regulation prohibits
uninvited speakers from speaking
anywhere on campus except in a
designated "unrestricted area.”
There are two such unrestricted
areas. according to the rights and
responsibilities booklet, for unin
vited speakers-am the Student
Center (SC) patio or in front of the
SC at the podium.

While this regulation has been
enforced before in connection with
such groups as the Young Socia
lists Alliance or during last
spring‘s “Rate-A Chick“ fiasco,
evangelist Jimmy Conyers was
allowed to preach from the office
tower plaza fountain virtually
undisturbed for over three hours.

Editor.

In his Kernel articie (Nov. 14,
”Busing involves everyone’s rights“)
Steve Vice said in very indignant tones
fhatall who are against busing are not
racists. I would like to clarify that
point. When we say those who are
against busing are racist we are not
talking about whether they are con.
sciously preiudiced against Black
people or other minorities. While there
are a number of anti-busing people
yelling, "Nigger go home!” there are
certainly many who claim to be for
neighborhood schools or are against the
inconvenience of busing.

But let‘s examine what kind of
community schools and what is meant
by inconvenience. What is meant by
these slogans is white privilege. The
privilege of living near adequate
schools to send your children to, a
privilege many Black people do not
share.

This is the basic question: should
whitbs have the privilege of better
schools than Blacks? For years Black
people have been bused past white
schools to interior schools. Where were
the defenders of neighborhood schools
then? Where are they now in Lexington
where Black students are bused from
their neighborhoods to schools in the
suburbs? The question is protecting
white privilege at the expense of equal
education for Black people. That very
simply is racism,and those thatfight to
maintain that status quo no matter
their motivations are racists.

I do not have the space to go into
Vice’s ”alternatives" suffice it to say
the government is not about to give
tum: b upgrade the schools while

Associate Dean of Students
Frank Harris said he thought
Conyers actually wanted to be
removed from the f0untain to
attract more attention to his views.
Since Conyers contacted a Lexingr
ton newspaper about his campus
appearance, Harris is probably
right.

Nevertheless, if the Dean of
Students Office is going to enforce
such regulations at all, it should not
be selective in its enforcement.

Although the dean’s office
probably has much more impor-
tant things about which to worry,
the deans had plenty of time to
remove Conyers from the plaza
fountain «the man wailed for over
three hours. And a call to the UK
Police department takes less than
five minutes.

It is a sad state of affairs that one
distinct section of the campus has
been set aside for ”free speech” in
the first place. If is even sadder,
however, to have such a rule
selectively enforced.

Obligation

Editor:

I feel it is my obligation as a black UK
student to express my humiliation,
frustration and dehumanization that
was so evidently shown at the Chi
Omega Greek sing. Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity put on a show of rare talent
and originality. They conformed to all
of the entrance stipulations placed upon
them while other sororities and frater-
nities did not. For instance, the greater
part of their performance was cut cut
because they were informed of a
lO~minute limit. Yet, Sigma Nu's
performance lasted well over the limit.

The men of Alpha Phi Alpha Frater-
nity deserve more than a trophy. More
importantly, they deserve all respect
due them. Knowing how dejected the
Alpha brothers must feel at this time, I
would like to let them know that they
did not fail the black students. How-
ever, it is obvious that their request to
be treated equally is still too much to
ask for on this campus.

Basketball is the
classiest sport

Like hundreds, perhaps th0usands, of
other Kentuckians, l have spent the last
six consecutive Saturday afternoons
screaming at my walls: “When does
basketball season start?” And it’s not
only the fact that Kentucky has had a
lousy football season, basketball is iust
the classiest sport there is.

.. . peggy
" coldwell

Basketball is to Kentucky as Catholi-
cism is to Spain, as Marxism—Leninism
is to the Soviet Union. And Adolph Rupp
of course, is the high priest of Kentucky
basketball.

Rumor has it that the state legisla~
ture once sent to committee a bill to
make basketball the state bird, but the
bill was canned and c0vered up when
some y0ung snit from the Legislative
Research Commission, after extensive
investigation of the matter, informed
the lawmakers that basketball was not,
and never had been, a bird of any
species. Happy Chandler, according to
a reliable scurce, was crushed.

The basketball season brings out the
bestin Kentuckians: the age-old rivalry
between UK and U of L, which UK
President Otis Singletary is finally
catching on to after six years, and
fighting on the financial front.

A non—scientific, quick survey of
friends and colleagues revealed more
reasons for the aesthetic and spiritual
supremacy of roundball:

~owing to the relative smallness of
basketball arenas, the orange-throwing
distance is short. In addition, oranges
make a better splat when hitting wood
rather than astroturf. The same goes
for athletes.

,—While spectators freeze at Novem-
ber football games, they sweat at

basketball games. Empirical research
shows that people w0u|d rather be hot
than cold.

——Basketba|l is an egalitarian sport.
This was not immediately apparent in
the Scutheastern Conference, and is
still not entirely the case in many
schools, but it takes little space and
little money to play, and kids every-
where, from the inner city to the
plushest suburbs, have a chance.

—~Basketball players do not consume
as much steak as football players.

——Basketba|l coaches have good
arguments and curse loudly.

Rlchard Nixon did not play basket.
ball.

*Basketball players have interesting
names—~Dr. J, Earl the Pearl, Kareem
Abdul Jabbar, Goose, Wah-Wah.

——The basketball season is one week
longer than the football season, and
there are two games per week.

—The liquor stores are closer to the
Coliseum than to Commonwealth.

—Since the basketball season is over
in March, students have two months to
catch up in school.

——Basketball players are smart—note
Bill Bradley and Jerry Lucas. This may
explain why Richard Nixon did not play
basketball (see above).

—The players wear little clothing (I
mention this purely for sexist pur-
poses).

—Basketball players frequently lose
their contact lenses; the resultant
time-outs provide a good Opportunity to
use the bathroom

~Basketbal: games never end in a
tie. .

—And if the above 13 reasons don’t
convince you, try this: the Associated
Press listed Kentucky in the Top
Twenty in their preseason ratings. And
besides, I know where we can get a
bunch of WIN buttons cheap.

Transcendental
Meditation

A refined nervous system may

bring about regular deep rest
which produces a fresher mind

By Robert P. Butler

Transcendental meditation (TM) is not
sneaky Hinduism. I have been meditating
for five years, teaching TM for few years
and have been on the international staff of
the TM movement. I have at no time been
encouraged to accept Hindu doctrine. To
say that TM is characteristic of Hinduism
simply is not true. Hinduism, like any
other religion, requires acceptance of a
complete moral and philosophical system
and involves practices of belief and
devotion. Transcendental meditation is the
practical aspect of the ”science of creative
intelligence” providing systematic
”experience” of finer and finer values of a
thought. Mental refinement produces

physical refinement which is verified in

authorative research findings as deep
physical rest. The body normalizes and
revitalizes itself through the mechanics of
rest. Regular good deep rest produces a
fresher body and mind and therefore
better appreciation of life. We teach a
person this technique of developing or
refining the nervous system and after that
it is completely up to the individual what
one wants to do with ones clearer thinking
and better health. if one wants to use it to
better understand the teachings of Jesus
or to achieve more in ones work or field of
study or use it to enhance athletic ability,
itdoesn’t matter. Philosophy and religion
are an individual choice and the TM
program does not involve moral advice.

Certainly Maharishi does esteem the
”Bhagavid Gita” and other Hindu writings
as he is a Hindu monk. He has written a
very good and clear commentary on this,
and he has also written a few other books
which do provide an extended philosophi-
cal explanation of relative phenomenon;
however; the learning of TM does not
involve any acceptance of these explana-
tions nor does it require that a person even
familiarize oneself with the concepts. The
fact that Maharishi is a Hindu monk does
not establish TM as Hinduism anymore
than the teaching of genetic gode theory
infers Catholic doctrine, as its founder
Gregor Mendel was a Jesuit priest.

A signed statement by Rev. Leo

\‘\\ ,.
'\\\\:~:t \ I i‘

Mcallister, meditating pastor of Immacu-
late Conception Church in Sacremento,
Calif, and chaplain to the California State
Legislature said, ”it is not a religion or a
religious practice. It in no way conflicts
with a person’s belief in God or in his
church. A person’s relationship to God and
the practices of one’s faith should be
enhanced, rather than diminished, by the
use of TM.”

An ordained Lutheran clergyman, Rev.
Karl E. Lutze, theology professor at
Valparaiso University, in answer to a
friend’s inquiry about TM said: ”l, as you,
had some initial reservations ab0ut TM
from a religious and theological stand-
point. it was not without careful and
serious study and reflection that l attemp-
ted to learn whether or not this art
stemming as itdoes from the traditions of
the Far East might be compatible or in
fact in conflict with my Christian faith. I
find it to be particularly consonant with
my Christian life to care for myself—my
body,mymind,allof me—in suchaway as
to be at my best for my Lord and his
service. We sometimes in churchly par~
lance call this, "Good Stewardship of
self.” That i find this discipline of
meditation affording me a relief from
stress, a kind of creative rest for the mind
and an ordering of thought and plans
suggests that I’m far more ready for
better performance of my tasks than I
would otherwise be. i do not find
transcendental meditation an alternative
to Christian faith; l practice it within the
context of my Christian life. Nor does my
calling upon the exercise of TM imply that
my Christian faith or religion is made

enough sleep, proper diet, exercise and
recreation would imply an inadequacy in
my religion. I regard meditation as
another of God’s good gifts to me like
friendships, and education and any
number of other good things that enrich
my life and equip me for living it well. As
with all gifts, I do not let the gift mean
more to me than the giver.“

In conclusion, the TM program is
presented as a science. From our side we
say it is science and there is much
evidence to support this claim. If an
individual wishes to appreciate TM as
religion it is not possible within the TM
movement. If someone not meditating sees
TM as religion we accept that as the
individuals right to self determinism. TM
could enliven appreciation of Christian
principles as well as Hindu, Islamic, or
Jewish principles because it develops the
conscious capacity of the mind. It is the
individual’s own level of consciousness
that determines his ability to understand
the teachings of any great philosopher,
physicist or the work of any great artist.

We would like to invite people from all
diversified fields of interest to investigate
into the possibilities available to the
individual and the community through
regular practice of the TM program. TM is
natural as life itself and (as they say) easy
as rolling off a log.

We extend a warm welcome to all to
come and work together in love and
mutual understanding to produce an
environment of enlightenment in this
generation and for generations to come.

Robert P. Butler is the director of the TM
program in Lexington.

Blood donors at UK
fewer than expected

By BETSY PEARCE
Kernel Staff Writer

Working for the community is what the Central Kentucky Blood
(‘enter tCKBCl is all about. However, it depends on community
cooperationwincluding UK students~ in order to stay in business
according to Thomas Watts, CKBC administrator.

Student donor response in recent years has "not been over-
whelming.“ Watts said. In their third year working with UK
students, only 182 have donated so farthis semester.

Cmsidering the Center‘s goal is 20 per cent of UK‘s total
enrollment (or 4,000 units), Watts said, “these figures are
somewhat lower than what was anticipated.“ It is estimated that
probably only 1.200 units will be donated this year, he said.

()ne reason blood donors are in great demand is because the
blood is sent to hospitals in Lexington as well as to many needy
hospitals in central and eastern Kentucky. Forty-four per cent of
the blood goes to the UK Medical Center because of the large
amount of surgery done there. according to Watts.

()ther hospitals receiving blood are St. Joseph‘s. Good
Samaritan, Central Baptist. and Veterans’ Administration.
Somerset (‘ity Hospital is the largest recipient outside Lexington.
he said.

Being a non-profit organization (established in 1968 by ‘he
Fayette County Medical Society), Watts said the (‘KB(‘ also
places great emphasis on community participation.

In case the blood supply runs low for a particular blood type.
names of previous donors on file are called, Watts said. He ex-
plained that in an overall shortage. appeals through the media are
made in hopes of attracting donors. This does not happen very
often. but Watts warned of the possibility that shortages may be
becoming more frequent than in past years, mostly due to in-
creased surgery.

“A yearago. there were five open heart operations a week. Now
there are about two a day," Watts said.

While blood does not actually get “old". it cannot be used after 21
days because "the red cell's capacity to carry oxygen has
diminished significantly." he said. Blood that has not been used
during the 21-day period is incinerated.

(‘KB(‘ records reveal that only three per cent of the blood they
distribute becomes outdated, compared toa national average of 20
to 25 per cent. Watts said. Rare blood types are sometimes frozen
for future use.

According to Watts. any healthy individual between the ages of 18
and 00, weighing 110 pounds or more may donate blood. A
"healthy" donor is one with normal blood pressure and blood count.
”01111;” henjngkﬁﬁn. and It!) «lisOHSOS 'li‘ recent Illnesses.

“Not only is the donor helping others." Watts said, “but is doing
himself a great favor. By lonatmg blood. the donor and his or her
family are covered «in terms of free blood in case of surgery
requiring transfusionsl.”

This could save the donor hundreds of dollars in medical bills
hecau se blood fees are rather costly, Watts explained. There is an
initial. or “responsibility“ fee of $15. and a processing fee of $22.50
which covers the cost of the blood bag, supplies. and reagents. he
said.

Although there are no blood drives set for students at the present

time students may donate blood anytime at (‘KBt‘ on Limestone.
The (‘Km‘ will be on campus Dec. 10 for the l'K lately to donate.

In Taylor ‘case

Three suspects indicted

by Fayette Grand Jury

Three men charged with the
kidnap-murder of Luron Eugene
Taylor were indicted Monday by
the Fayette (‘ounty grand jury.

(‘harged in the case and bound
over to Quarterly (‘ourt are:
Elmore Stephens. 23; John
Bishop. 22 and Robert Channels,
22. Stephens was an All—
American on the 1974 Wildcat
football team and Bishop is a
former team manager.

The indictment charges that
either on Oct. 11 or ()et. 12. in
Fayette. Jefferson "or other
Kentucky counties" the men
caused Taylor‘s death by
strangulation.

The grand jury charged that
the three suspects. along with a
fourth unidentified man, forced
Taylor into their car in front of
his apartment and drove away.

Tay ior‘s body was found Oct. 21
floating in the (lhio River near
Louisville about five miles east

of the Jefferson (‘ounty Police
River station.

Stephens has been released
after posting $50,000 bond. Bishop
and (‘hannels remain in custody
on an identical bond.

Metro Police Monday refuted
an article in the Lexington
ilerald that stated the police
department “as intensifying its
questioning of persons in con-
nection with the case.

"There has been no mass
movement by police in con-
nection with the investigation at
this time." according to Maj.
William Riley of the detective
division.

University officials connected
with an internal investigation of
possible Student (‘ode and NCAA
regulation violations said
Monday there is no indication of
when the investigation will be
completed

Tom Ranieri sat in his dressing

and head down following L‘K's I7—

llanieri looked frustrated. of
course. but he also appeared
relieved. Frustrated that his
team lost another game and saw
its final record drop to 2-8-1. and
relieved that this. the freakiest of
football seasons was finally over.

“Naturally. with this kind of
record 1 would be disappointed."
said the senior nose guard. “But
it wasn‘t indicative of our
ability."

Ranieri said he did not think
the team was overly affected by
the rumors and investigations
which have surfaced the past
month.

“When game time arrived. we
put the rumors out of our heads.”
he said. “We even joked about it
at first. but the rumors just went
on and on and on.

“i hope the ['niversity ad-
