Candidates lining up

as race for council

begins to take shape

Applications are now being taken
for “part-time" jobs which will
begin next year.

The positions are seats on the
Lexington-Fayette Urban County
Council. They pay $6,000 a year
each, but a nrore attractive feature
may be the reserved parking spot
two blocks from Main Street.

Such compensations can seem
pocr, though, when you‘re at a
meeting after midnight listening to
unending fulmination over an item
like the Grassmere Change Order.

Of the present council members,
only Eleanor Leonard of the 7th
district ins announced a campaign
for reelection. Two members not in
the ninning are vice mayor Scotty
Baesler (a mayoral candidate), and
the 4th district's Pam Miller, who
has announced she will not seek re-
election.

To get the job. you must be a
qualified voter. and have lived in
Lexington for one year before filing.
The other qualification is that you
must survive a possible May 24
primary and win the November
election.

There are 15 council seats: 12
district and three at-large. If there
are more than two candidates for
one seat, a‘ more than four for the
two at-large seats contested this
year, the primary will narrow the
field to two. The elections are non-
partisan (political parties unlisted).

Candidates must file for election
by March 30, and are required to
have a petition signed by 100 voters
in order to be put on the ballot.
Hopefuls must have lived in their
districtf or six months prior to filing.

Announcements often come just
before the deadline. As of last week,
only two candidates had actually
filed their papers.

Many council members, such as
William Lyms of the 8th district, are
expected to announce soon. Others,
such as the 6th district‘s Darrell
Jackson, claim to be undecided.

The following are candidates who
have already announced their in-
tentions to seek a council seat:

——l{obert Pope, who is running for
the 2nd district seat. Pope lists the

problem the council has wrestled
with for years.

From Russia with talent

At 72, Donovan Scholar Katcoff finally writes her memoirs

after theatre, movies, a marriage and two children

By JUDITH FERRIELL
Kernel Reporter

Jeanne Katcoff had always
wanted to write about her childhood
in Russia under Czar Nicholas and
about the Great Revolution.

Katcoff got sidetracked by a
career in theatre, marriage to an
American that is still intact after 46
years and two children, but finally at
age 72, she is writing about her
Russian experience.

With her gray hair in a bun and a
macra me necklace around her neck,
Katcoff explained—with a trace of
accent—how she came to be a
participant in the UK’s Donovan
Senior Citizens Fellowship
Program.

“I wanted to be in an academic

situation because I dropped out of
school to go into the theatre when I
was a freshman in high school. But I
could not get what I wanted from the
California (where she was living)
university system."

Katcoff paused, then said, “It’s an
experience for me. I wanted to find
myself completely alone, sans
husband sans cooking, etc. I think
there is a need for that. Sub-
consciously, I think about the history
of longevity in my family, knock on
wood, and I think what will I do if I
am left alone."

After just five minutes with
Katcoff, I seriously doubt that she
will have trouble managing.

Katcoff said she was aware of the
movement for revolution because
members of her family were in-
volved. In fact, she said, one was

sent to Siberia because he advocated I

change.

“My mother was very wise. My
family was on one of the last boats
that left Russia before the Bolshevik
Revolution (1917)."

The family settled in Boston, but
young Jeanne (pronounced Gina)
didn’t stay for long. After mastering
the new language, she left high
school to go on the road as a singer
with the Boston English Opera
Company. She studied voice at the
Boston Conservatory of Music and
then began her career in the theatre.

“It was easy and natural for me.
Of course, at that time, young ladies
just did not do that sort of thing,”
Katcoff said, then added with a

smile, “I‘m afraid I disgraced my
family somewhat."

Katcoff said she did some Gilbert
& Sullivan musicals in New York
and worked in the many stock
companies in the New England area.
But the theatres were closing
because the depression of the 1930’s
was beginning, so she returned
home.

Marraige and a family

“I met my husband then. He had
just graduated from art school. My
mother ran a private dining room
and that‘s where I met him." Then,
in a very matter-of~fact voice,
Katcoff added with a chuckle, “I
was 27. There wasn’t any work for
me bessuse the theatres were
closed. He was a rich boy, so I
grabbed him."

Being married and raising two
children put a temporary halt to
Katcoff’s acting career, so she
started a nursery school and was

Looking beneath the surface

Geological survey is resourceful

By JIM MCNAIR
Kemel Staff Writer

The state of Kentucky offers no
happy hunting grounds for gold,
precious gem or uranium
prospectors.

Prospectors in Kentucky might
prefer to call themselves engineers
or scientists or miners because they
explae and excavate coal, oil,
natural gas and other resources
instead of more glamorous
treasures.

Owing its existence to the con-
tinual need for advancement in
these modern industries, the Ken-
tucky Geological Survey (KGS)
participates in state and federal
projects and gives information and
advice for a variety of undertakings.

From its most office on the third
floor of the Mutant Industries
Buildng, the K68 is responsible for
mapping, map revision, water
resources and the mineral, gas and
oil indusries in Kentucky.

One of the survey’s main concerns
rightnow is arrveysig in Morehesd,
Corbin and Henderson to see how

much coal is left in nearby coal
fields.

“We have guys with shovels and
picks digging for the thickness of
coal seams, trying to determine the
total coal resource," said Wallace
W. Hagan, director and state
geologist d the K68.

“Some seams are consistent in
thickness, others split or form in
pods or become several seams.”

Kentucky tops nation
in bituminous coal

Kentucky leads all states in
bituminous coal production and has
recently had to rely more heavily on
tint resource when natural gas
reserves began dwindling. Cost beds
are effectively pictured on areal
geological maps. which show
locations and intervals of oc-
currence of coal, oil and natural gas

The Katcoffs lived in Boston for 30
years before moving to Los Angeles

ticipates its mapping to be finished
by July 1, 1978. Done in conjunction
with the USGS, it will be the first
attempt to mapa state of this size in
its artirety at that scale.

“We have three big cooperative
programs with the federal govern-
ment," said Hagan, pointing out that
cooperative programs are those
with matching state and federal
funds.

The Kentucky Department of
Commerce finances the state's
share of areal geological mapping,
topograptl'c map revision and water
resources investigation projects.

“This state was mapped
topographicaly in 1957,” Hagan
said. “Since then we've made
revisions because of road changes,

Kentuckian’s death
strikes serious blow

The Board of Student Publications‘ vote to kill
the Kentuckian. the only all-campus publication,
carries with it serious implications for the future
of the school of journalism and for the Univer-

sity. .

If President Otis Singletary agrees with the
board and withdraws funds for the publication, it

will greatly undermine the

argument that UK is Kentucky’s primary in-

stitution of higher education.

Taken at face value, the death of the Ken-
tuchian does not appear to be a terribly
momentous event. Obviously, UK will continue
to function without a student publication, and the
school of journalism probably can find an
alternative to give students an opportunity to

gain practical experience.

But, the publication’s demise is just one
element in a series of events that represents a
subtle erosion of UK‘s prestige and educational

value.

It’s absurd that UK cannot adequately support
a single student publication while other state
universities finance several student endeavors.
The lack of student publications also strikes a
serious blow to the school of joumalism‘s ability

to attract students. Why come to UK when other

state universities offer far more extensive and

better-funded journalism programs?
Journalism students, however, will not suffer

alone from the absence of a student publication.

of t-repeated

The entire student body will be deprived of a
sentimental element of college life—a yearbook.

While all students may not be interested in
having a printed memory of their college days, a

survey conducted by the board indicates that

substantials tudent interest exists in maintaining
an allcampus yearbook.

Unfortunately, the chances of retaining the
Kentuckian were undermined by premature
discussion of an all-Greek yearbook. Whether the
Greeksare able to support their own yearbook is

irrelevant. the crucial issue is UK‘s perplexing

publication.

inability to adequately finance an all-campus

Singletary now must look beyond the failure of

the magazine and consider the long-term

magazine.

 

'Brutish' View

The Student Senate passed a bill
Tuesday authorizing $27.24 to be
given to a campus group which is
sponsoring a day of workshops and
discussion on women‘s issues to be
held March 5, in conjunction with
International Women‘s Day.

It now seems that SG President
Nfike McLaughlin is comtemplating
a perfunctory veto of this bill. SG
Vice President Hal Haering’s re-
mark regarding the bill‘s passage
pits the present SG administration‘s
narrow, brutish attitude toward
current women's concerns in its true
perspective.

As Haering so lucidly put it,
“When are we going to put a stop to
this? We keep sponsoring these petty
workshops. It is just disgusting."

Personally, I find Haering's ignor-

lette rs— ~ —

ramifications of the situation. Hopefully he and
the rest of the administration will elect to sup-
port a student publication with sufficient funds—
more than the paltry $11,000 allotted for the

 

ance disgusting. Are we to assume
that the issues and attitudes to which
the women‘s movement addresses
itself are petty? Could it be that he
feels threatened by women getting
together to exchange ideas and
aiperiences, discuss alternatives,
act on common problems, or. Lord
help us, assert themselves?

Just what exactly would he like to
put a stop to? Haering is attacking
the pursuit of basic, legitimate
luman rights and needs.

As noted in the Preamble of the
Student Government Constitution,
part of that body‘s obligation is"...to
combat and destroy all vestiges of
racial and sexual discrimination and
inequality within the University
community." In light of this fact, if
for no other reason, SG should be the
initiator of a conference such as this

Granted. the ideas inherent in a
conference on women’s issues will

least: but then, neither do Haering

which they adhere. The point is that
SG is obligated to act in the
disparate interests of the University
community.

Shah’s dictatorial regime in Iran
constantly violates human rights

IRANIAN STUDENT
ASSOCIATION

The dictatorial regime of the Shah
if Iran has once again embarked on
a campaign of terror in hope of
stifling dissent in Iran.

Reports in-the government-con-
trolled press indicate that in the last
few weeks many Iranian patriots
lave been murdered or have been
arrested. Mohammad H. Abrari and
Zahra Gholhaki were put to death by

Aram and H. Bagheri of the Organi-
mtion of Mojahedeen of the People
if Iran, were gunned down in the
streets and seven others of the same
aganization were taken into cus-
Indy.

In a similar manner, P. Vaez-
Yadeh, an ex-secretary of the Iran-
ian Students Association in Italy,
was killed with six others as a result
a" the Shah‘s street executions.
Eleven more patriots were arrested
in connection with the same inci-
(tint.

At this moment, the fate of the 18
mtriots arrested is unknown. Not
even their names have been re-
leased. What is certain, however, is
that after arrests they have under-
gone inhumane torture and no doubt
their lives are in great jeopardy.

These acts of muder and torture
are being carried out with the full
support'and cooperation of.the US.
which sees the answer to the present
acute instability of the regime and
the rapid rise of the Iranian people‘s
struggle.

CIA director George Bush, on the
Jan. 3 Face the Nation said the CIA's
mmber one fear regarding Iran is
the revolutionary forces. The

that the CIA is directly involved in

The US. government and the CIA
created the SAVAK in 1956. Over the
last 25 years it has created and
controlled the most represssive‘
regime in the world.

Iran‘s violation of human rights is
so notorious that even a State
Department report had to admit that
its client regime is among the top in
consistent violation of human rights.

The regime‘s prisons are filled
with 100,000 political prisoners who
are subject to torture applied
systematically. The latest atrocities

“Bloody Murder” or “Terrorism."

But these very same “humani-

thousands and millions to extract

fine as long as it is done for profit,
but it is “terrorism" when it is done
to achieve freedom from foreign
domination and exploitation and to
attain democracy.

Hypocrisy will not find a more vile
expression than in the words and
deeds of the Shah and his masters.

To dramatize recent arrests and
killings, demonstrations were spon-

monopolistic Postal Service

to enter the mail-delivery market.
The present law specifically forbids
competition in the delivery of first-
class mail (i.e. letters). That law

Ins created the bumbling monopoly'

with which We now deal.

The Postal Service and its em-
floyes strongly support the statu-
tiry monopoly. There lies the main
reason for its continued existence.

The monopoly is needed so the
Postal Service can overcharge users
if first-class mail (i.e. those who
imil letters) to pay for its losses on
«her mail classes. The postal
employes‘ union lobbies for the
monopoly because competition
night mean the loss of their jobs.

The general public is the loser.

Those of us who mail letters are
actually subsidizing the readers of
magazines and newpapers, since
publishers receive special mailing
rates. Even if subsidizing news-
paper-magazine publishers is desir-
able, surely there is a more desir-
able way then levying a tax on
first-class users.

And what of the postal employes?
Certainly we must be in sympathy
with anyone. who fights to retain
l'm—her job. But the public deserves
more efficiency for its dollars.

As money is spent more econo
nically spent among private mail
umpanies, the effect would be to
create more jobs, many of which
ctrrent postal employes could fill.

There is little doubt that such
[rivate ventures would be success-
ful. History shows us the Pony
Drpress. In fourth-class mail, where
cunpetition is permissible, we ob-
serve the success of the United
Parcel Service (UPS), the Grey-
hound Express, to name a couple.
Although it has been in operation
less than 20 years, UPS handles
almost twice as much fourth-class
mail as the Postal Service.

In his efforts to streamline the
federal government, President Car-
ter would do well to work with
Congress to eliminate the Postal
Service‘s statutory monopoly.

Losers, weepers

Campus lost and found can be hard to find

. By IIOLLY STONE
Kernel Reporter

Finding a lost wallet, glove
or much-needed notebook
often poses a perplexing
problen for students because
there is no centralized lost
and found on campus.

Even though the University
Police eventually get most
lost items, the items may be
stored at various locations on
campus—often for several
montlB—before the campus
police get them.

Perhaps the student’s best
bet is to go to_ the building or
general area where the item
was lost.

In the ML King Library,

lost articles are brought to
the circulation desk in the
lobby. According to Mary
Verrill, head of circulation,
an attempt is made to locate
the owner.

Items of value are stored in
a locked cabinet, she said.
She suggested students put
their names on books so they
could be contacted.

There are three locations to
check for lost articles in the

‘Student Center. Most items

are taken to the Sweet Shop
on the second floor.

If something is found in the
cafeteria or grill, it is taken to
Room 239. The third place to
check is the director’s office
on the secmd floor.

If a student can’t find the
item in the general area it
was lost and if a search of the
lost and found ads is fruitless,
the next step is to check with
the campus police, on the
corner of Rose Street and
Euclid Avenue.

When the article '5 turned
in, a card is filled out and the
item is stored in a locked
area.

Campus police hold items
of lesser value. such as
clothing, glasses and books,
for 90 days. Objects of greater
value are held for one year.

After the items have been
held the specified time and no
one claims them, police send

Firebrand.“

Katcoff said she also had a
part asan old Cockney lady in
the movie “My Fair Lady,”
with Rex Harrison and Julie
Andrews.

She often played Indians,
she said, in television
prog ra no such as “Laramie"
and “Death Valley Days.”

Now, Katcoff is devoting all
her energy in writing. She
sail she “wants to express
her impressions, con-
tradictions. and disap-
pointments" of the years in
Russia, and relate her “ex-
periences of the new golden

land" her family came to.

‘ “I have noparti’cular

' ambition concerning this

bodr. It is mainly a good

ou llet. It’s an outpouring that
has been stored for many
years."

When asked how she felt
about the Donovan Program
and the other participants,
Katcoff said, “The Donovan
Schdars are friendly and
interested. I'm delighted that
so many are taking courses
and especially for credit.

“I'm excited that the fine
arts department is looking for
areas of expression and plans
I) expand their program to
include Donovan Scholars.”

Enjoying young people

Mingling with the young
perple on campus has Katcoff
bee ming with enthusiasm. “I
have never experienced

' anything like the friendliness

of the young people. They are
not being solicitous. but they

are realy interested in me.
It‘s wonderful to share and
find art what young people

arethink'ng.”
Katcoff commented on
young people’s freer

lifestyles. “It makes me
envious because what they
ran think and do were ver-
boten to me.

“Shadr'ng up is beneficial
because students can get it
out (I their systems and go on
and pursue their studies. I
love their honesty and sense
of freedom”

Katcoff sa'd she has loved
every minute of the freezing
weather because she has not
been a part of winter for so
many years.

“I didn’t fall down once, but
it is nicenow to be able to lift
ywr eyes from up off the
sidewalk and see all the
beautiful old homes.”
