Star running—back Alfred “Sonny" Col-
lins was visited by two men charged with
the Saturday night kidnaping of Luron
Eigene Taylor shortly after the incident.

Collins said former All~American foot-
ball player Elmore Stephens and former
team manager John Bishop visited his
dormitory room about 1 am. Sunday and
remained there for 15 minutes. They were
friends who just stopped by to see him.
Collins said.

Stephens. 23. and Bishop, 22. both of
Louisville. were arrested Oct.13 and
charged with the kidnaping. Taylor, 24,
was abducted Oct. 11 around midnight
from his home. He has not been found.

Also charged in the case was 22-year-old
Robert Channels. 1508 Yates Crescent.

At the time of the kidnaping. Taylor was
being sought by Lexington Metro Police in
connection with a Saturday afternoon
mbbery of Stephens and Channels‘ apart-
ment.

About $1,000 in cash and a $500 watch
were taken in the robbery.

Rodney Perkins. 24. 851 Charles Ave.,
has been charged in that robbery.

Collins was questioned Monday about the
kidnaping at police headquarters. accord-
ing to police media liason Joe Catt. Catt
would not confirm or deny that Collins is
suspected of being involved in the case.

In an interview following football prac-
tice Tuesday. Collins said he went to police
headquarters to “talk to them" about
Stephens‘ character when Stephens was on
the UK football team.

“They wanted to know if he (Stephens)
was the type of person who would do
something like that," said Collins, who

UK football safety Tony Gray quits
because of coaching conflict

'l‘ony Gray. starting safety for the UK
football team. quit the squad Tuesday
because of conflicts with the coaching
staff.

'l‘he(i»2. IRS—pound senior was demoted to
the second defensive unit following
Saturday's 15-9 loss to Auburn. Gray. a
Louisx'ille native. said he made a mistake
in the game w hen Auburn scored a crucial
touchdown on a 72 yard—pass play.

'Coach Curci has
questioned my
character—and he's
done it before
the team'

 

 

But head coach Fran (‘urci said Gray‘s
demotion was not a result of Gray‘s
mistake. “I told him a mutual decision
had been made by the coaches to demote
him to the second team. Tony said. ‘I quit‘
and walked out of the office.“

Gray said he quit for two reasons.
“(‘oach (‘urci and the other coaches felt I

didn't play team ball at times and. in the
past three years. (‘oach Curci has
questioned my characterrrand he‘s done
this before the team."

Gray said he was told to scrimmage in
full uniform Monday Team members said
starting players are rarely ordered to do
that tollowmg a Saturday game. Gray
said he considered the order to scrimmage
an "insult” and added that he was still
physically worn out from the Saturday
game.

Several team members were upset by
the decision to demote Gray to the second
defensiveunit. “Tony played a good game
Saturday and then he‘s told he‘s on the
second team and made to scrimmage
Monday. No regular player ever has to do

that.” said one player who asked not to be
identified.
“It‘s crazy.” another player said.

“The coaches are acting like this isn't even
happening. Gray quits and nobody says
anything. We had to find out from other
guys.“

(‘urci has not taken an interest in him
persona lly, Gray said. “I‘ve never felt like
I could discuss my problems with any of
the coaches.“ he said. After the demotion.

“i told the coach I wasn‘t satisfied with
being second. Then he tells me that I‘ve
teen walking around for three years like i
had a chip on my shoulder. Maybe I was,
but all I ever wanted was to be treated
fairly. I think be judged my character
wrong.

“The coaches got this attitude that all I
wanted was for Tony Gray to play and
didn‘t givea damn if the team won or lost.
'l‘hat's not true. All these guys are my
personal friends and I want them to win
their next six games and go toa bowl.“

Gray, who will receive his scholarship
for the remainder of the school year, said
he would remain in school. “I want a
degree. I realize how important it is to
me.

(‘hes Riddle. 6-foot. lB3-pound junior
from Madisonville. will replace Gray as
starting safety in Saturday‘s LSU game.

Male queen
candidate is
threatened

By SUSAN JONES
Editorial Editor

The lives of at least two UK students
were threatened over the phone yesterday
because one of them is running for
homecoming queen.

Scott Appell, Gay Students’ Coalition
(GSC) member and Free University
homecoming queen candidate, said he
received approximately 27 harassing
phone calls, five of which threatened his
life or the life of GSC President Carey
Junkin.

Most other phone calls were either ob
scene or hang-ups, Appell said.

“I have never had more trouble, never
been so upset in my life," Appell said. “I
expected a little trouble, but not to this
degree.“

Junkin said Appell received most of the
phone calls in a period of approximately
two hours. “One caller identified himself
as Bill. a member of the Klu Klux Klan,”
Junkin said. “He (the caller) said he would
kill Scott if he showed up at the meeting
tonight (Oct. 14)." Appell and all other
homecoming queen candidates were in-
terviewed either Oct. 13 or 14 for
preliminaiy candidate eliminations, with
three University administrators serving
as judges. Junkin also said another caller,
identifying himself as an Alpha Gamma
Rho fraternity member, made “obscene
accusations."

According to Bill White, Appell’s
roommate, in additibn to the harassing
phone calls, threatening, unsigned notes
have been tacked up on their dorm room
door and firecrackers were shoved under
the door. damaging the rug in their room.

“One note said. ‘Scott, why risk ybur’life
for such a silly cause? A friend! ,‘ ” White
said. “I‘m afraid for Scott or myself to go
out alone. We’re not big people, but there
are a lot of big people around who have
made threats.

“I'm sure 95 per cent of the dorm
members wish us dead,” he said. White
and Appell live in Kirwan 1. White said his
corridor advisor, Mark Thirey, had of-
fered them (he and Appell) protection and
it was necessary to have their telephone
number removed from listings at the
Kirwan l desk.

Thirey said he had no way of deter-
mining who is making the threats.
“There's nothing we can do except watch
and hope no one tries anything stupid." he
said. “I can understand their (Appell's
and White‘s) point of view H I‘m not
saying i agree ~ but if that’s what makes
them happy. they’re paying their money
(for the dorm room) and they have the
"ight to live as they choose."

Thirey said it might be possible for
White and Appell to get out of their dorm
contract. if necessary. “it‘s hard to get out
of a contract. but with the threats and
abuse the University might take it into
mnsideration.“ he said. “They‘d have
more privacy off campus."

Junkin said he had contacted Frank
Harris. associate dean of students. about
the threats made towards himself and
Appell and Harris “said something about
protection for Scott.“

Harris said he didn‘t mean to imply
there would be security guards for Appell.

“l didn't perceive the problem as being
that serious,“ Harris said. “I‘m sure
they‘re (Appell. Junkin and White) aggra-
vated and frustrated by the phone calls
and I don't mean to disregard the phone
calls. In a situation like this there‘s always
a possibility that someone will act out a
threat.“

Kirwan poll

Editor:

l was greatly disappointed to read an
article in the Kernel that reported a
”poll” taken in Kirwan Tower, con-
cerning the support of the Gay Stu~
dents’ Coalition (GSC). Upon further
investigation, you will find that the poll
was grossly unfair and misrepresented
the feelings of Kirwan Tower.

First, and most importantly, the
Kirwan Tower Dorm Council (KTDC)
had decided to oppose the Student
Senate’s support of the GSC before the
poll was taken. It has been generally
accepted for years that an opinionated
poll taker is very likely to find results
that agree with his opinions. Any poll,
and especially one of such an emotional
nature, should be administered by an
indifferent third party. This was not the
case in Kirwan Tower.

Secondly, the poll was not monitored
at all, and invited voters to cheat, In

fact, what the KTDC called a poll was
actually sheets of paper on the walls
next to the elevators that asked
students to ”check one.” There was no
way of telling whether students had
voted more than once, or whether the
voter was even a resident of the tower.
It is very trusting of the KTDC to rely
on the honor system as they did, but it is
also clearly unrealistic.

In light of these farts. I feel that the
existence of this ”poll" should be
stricken from the record.

Homosexuality

Editor:

Last week my attention was drawn to
several letters and articles that ap
peared in the Kernel concerning the
perennial struggle of the Gay Students’
Coalition for recognition by their
quasiliberal contemporaries here on
campus.

One particular letter, by a Mark
Anderson (Kernel, ”Representatives?”
Oct. 10), seemed to typify the general
attiiude on the UK campus towards
homosexuality or indeed, any beha
vior that does not reek of being white
and heterosexual. Your’re right Ander

son, there is nothing ”abnormal" in
being ”either” male or white or
heterosexual on this campus. This
behavior is so ”normal” at UK that
such people as yourself could amble
through your college education without
questioning your attitudes. Although
you can hardly be blamed at a school
that prides itself in some bizarre notion
of white aristocracy and shudders at
the thought of homosexuality.

When will you sheltered people
understand that your lifestyles are not
being threatened, nor even questioned,
by homosexuality. For a minute, drop
your parents’ prejudices, society's
laws, and god‘s supposed word, etc.,
and think about the quality of human
communication. Think about verbal,
emotional, and sexual communication
and ask yourself if it is just to grant
these forms of communication to
yourself and deny them to others. Why
is it so hard for you to see that the
qualities of homosexual and hetero
sexual behavior are the same?

And to the ”saddened and alarmed"
Chuck Turner (Kernel, ”Being gay is
illegal, immoral” Oct. )0), who stated
that he seemed to have somehow
missed the reactionary wave which has
been taking over the student body, I
offer that it is sometimes hard to gain

perspective on wave motion when you
are riding on the crest.

Enjoys play
Editor:

Allow me to extend public thanks to
the students, Professor Robert Wills
and the Theatre Arts Department for
the very enioyable ”Floating Theatre
Festival.” The plays that l attended
were funny and the performances
spirited. Imagination and courage were
demonstrated in bringing the per
formances to the people under most
unconventional staging circumstances.
Laughing in the sun is much to be ad-
mired. Academic communities do tend
toward the stodgy. Therefore, a healthy
portion of theatrical cleverness is most

welcome.

UK should recognize gay students

During my last stay in Atlanta, I met
a person who is a successful accountant
for that city’s and possibly the south's

largest bank. She is one of my most
unusual acquaintances, for I’ll
probably never again meet an aC»
countant who also happens to be black,
female, deaf, dumb and gay fall atthe
same time. It was a truly amazing
conglomerate of traits that are
definitely minorities in today’s (or any
day's job market.

 

, dick
. downey

 

 

Yet, there she was: living proof that
all sorts of obstacles invented by the
evil phantoms of other people’s
preiudices could be hurdled suc-
cesstu lly in the business world. And her
triumph was not only personal; she also
provided inspiration to those around
her. Friends of hers (like me) who were
white, male, straight, and otherwise
"normal" either had to do something
constructive with their lives or else
retreat from her in shame at their own
lack of that mysterious internal drive
that was so evident in our heroine. in
short, she was admired and emulated
by others, and for good reason.

However, it should be noted at the

outset that of the four descriptive ad,
iectives with which i labeled her in the
first paragraph, her banking employers
only probably knew of the first three.
Although being black, female, and
handicapped are sometimes said to be
advantages in securing employment
these days, being gay is still a liability.
For that reason, gayness is a trait that
is prudently concealed from
prospective employers, when need be,
by the wise job-seeker.

I suppose that such a deception
wouldn’t be too hard to live with if
stopped at that point "but it doesn’t.
Because of the general stigma attached
to being homosexual, those who are of
that persuasion are of course con-
strained to admit their true sexual
identity to many, many people (with
exceptions); sometimes, i am sure, the
hardest person to which gayness can be
admitted is the homosexual him-
herself.

However, it seems that things may
have changed a bit as of late. Gay lib
has gained some steam over the past
several years, but most of its main
thrust has occurred only in
metropolitan areas where anonymity
and progressive ideas are most easily
achieved. Its advocates are in-
creasingly vocal in Atlanta (as during
recent vain drives to push the Equal
Rights Amendment through the
Georgia assembly), but for the most
partthey havenot made much of a dent
in areas outside of the metros.

Which, i suppose, suits the in-
clinations of a big plenty of the
population who don't live in the cities.
People like the letter-writer of last

Friday’s Kernel, ”Representatives?”,
Mark Anderson, who supported ”such
senators as Hal Haering, who had the
nerve to take a strong stand for nor
malcy” on the gay official recognition
question here at UK, whatever ”nor-
malcy" means. (As a matter of fact,
the American Psychiatric Association
has determined that homosexuals are,
indeed, "normall")

Other moderate individuals, in-
cluding some student senators (with the
notable exception of Law Senator Jerry
Thornton), have used the Kentucky
Revised Statutes to support their
restrictive views on the campus matter
of official status for the Gay Student
Coalition (GSC). However, the fact
remains that there is no law against
being a homosexual, and any law that
attempted to accomplish such an end
would immediately be struck down on
First Amendment grounds, as any first-
year law student could tell you. Fur-
thermore, any citation to the KRS
sodomy laws with regard to the subject
at hand only serves to provide the citor
with a convenient but fallacious
iustitication of a stand against official
recognition; that law has no legal
significance in this dispute.

In retrospect, when viewing the
statements of some students on the
matter of official gay recognition by
UK. i am inclined to wonder about how
well the University is carrying out its
responsibility as an institution of higher
learning. After all, the purpose of
college (besides training us for those

' hard-to-get iobs) is to broaden the

horizons and understandings of its
charges. And then along comes Kirwan

Tower Dorm President Sam Thomas,
saying thatthe coalition isn’t ”mentally
fit” to be recognized as an organization.
Such a narrow, inflammatory and
meaningless view does not really
deserve reply.

And so we come to a determinative
issue: why seek University recognition
of the GSC in the first place? Sexual
preference is a private matter, right?

: Right. But there are other factors to be

weighed in such a move by the coalition
., things like the need to overcome the
oppression and stigma associated with
homosexuality, the desirability of
bringing the subiect out in the open so
that people won’t be afraid of its
unknown ramifications, and the need to
provide gays with a little pride so that
they may better cope with the sub-
jective guilt that is so often felt by the
gay person when he or she is forced to
come to terms with that particular self-
identity. (How often, after all, is being
gay really a matter of personal
preference?)

Recognition by the University would
be one small step in remedying these
situations, and hopefully, after the
subject has been exposed to some
uncontroversial fresh air for a while,
the University population, at least
could transcend the need for such a gay
vehicle.

Smoking brings
coughs,headache

 

By Bruce Sherwood

 

Dr. Wayne H. Davis’s article on
smoking was welcome relief from the
hazy thinking on the subject which has
recently appeared in the Kernel.
Cigarette smoke has a direct, im
mediate effect on nonsmokers (it at-
fects smokers too, but they’re past
caring). It‘s not all in non-smokers’
imaginations, nor is it some sort of
exaggerated aestheticism on their part.
Coughing, watery eyes, and violent
headaches are some of the very real
symptoms which result from exposure
to this harsh irritant. in short, when
somebody lights up indoors, especially
when they do so in a confined area with
poor ventilation, it is tantamount to
physical assault. Non-smokers should
react accordingly. This is to say
nothing of the notori0us slovenliness
and carelessness of some smokers who,
like so many absent-minded volcanoes,
erratically spew forth flash fires and
detritus.

I am not opposed to smoking per se,
but like Davis l believe that it should be
confinedto consenting people in private
or to those public areas which are
reserved for this form of pollution. Such
areas are now provided in most public
buildings and conveyances, and to their
credit many smokers use them. Un-
fortunately there is alsoa large number
of smokers who refuse to or will not
bother to use them at all. It is this latter
group that my remarks concern.

On the basis of the opinions published
in the Kernel, these people seem to fall
roughly into three main categories:
tennyboppers, junkies and absolutist
libertarians. The tennyboppers, fresh
from high school and anxious to show
how grown-up they are, fear that they
are being forced to do what’s good for
them. Let’s be clear about that kiddies
-~nobody gives a damn what you do to
yourselves. The rules are designed to
protect others.

The junkies, it seems, just can’t make
it through an hour or two without their
fag. As one sweet young thing ex

claimed, nonsmokers just don’t realize

whatthey’re asking. Fortunately, there
are federal institutions which are

equipped to deal with that kind of”;
problem. I suggest that those of you "

who have this problem enter a
detoxification program right away.

However, the absolutist libertarians
constitutethe most noxious group of the
three. Reared on the notion that there
are no values except the cult of the ego,
these ardent dogmatists insist that an
individual’s highest aspiration is to ”do
his own thing,” no matter whom it
hurts. Of course if everyone followed
this principle, conflict would be
inevitable, but these firebrand liberr
tarians have managed to solve the
ethical quandary rather neatly.
Whenever someone else’s ”right” to
”do his own thing” (such as breathe)
conflicts with theirs, the other person is
always wrong. If that person is so
boorish as to insist on his rights, why
then he is branded a fascist. Un-
fortunately, these notions are at
present enjoying wide currency. The
mentality has become so pervasive that
many nonsmokers would rather sufr
focate than ask one of these ambulant
chimneys to put out the fire. Hence the
seeming ”apathy” of some non-
smokers on the issue.

l think that Davis’ suggestion that a
non-smokers’ organization be formed is
an excellent one. It’s high time that
those of us who don’t enjoy breathing
the texic fumes of pyrophiles take
defensive action against these moral
cretins who can’t see beyond the
glowing tip of their own destruction.

By Marvin Todd

After stifling a chuckle while reading
Chuck Turner’s (Kernel, Oct. )0, ”Be
ing gay is illegal, immoral”), Spectrum
article on the Gay Students’ Coalition
(GSC), I decided to “sadden and
alarm” him with my view on the
subject.

Turner points cut that homosexuality
is illegal in the state of Kentucky. I
think that he, and many others, should
be made aware that homosexuality is
not against the law in any state to my
knowledge, and it is the homosexual act
itself which is against the law. Being
gay is not illegal; the crime of the act is
not illegal in some states, and I’m sure
that Kentucky will liberalize in the near
future.

In an absurd comparison, he then
says that to support the GSC would be
like supporting rapists and thieves,
simply because all three are illegal. As
I said before, being gay is not illegal,
which makes the comparison incorrect,
and it carries no conotation of violence
as do the other two. Therefore, it is my
opinion that the adversity to homo
sexuality which Turner feels and which
he states more than once in his
editorial, is a personal, moral objection
which has no place in the decision for or
against the GSC.

To use this as a deciding factor is
discriminatory, and dates back to the
puritanical structure of belief which
this country was supposedly founded to
fight against. What happened to the

 

 

Gays are not
rapists, thieves

individual’s right to ”life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness”? Granted,
that one man’s rights ends where
another’s begin; but are homosexuals
suppressing anyone’s rights? l will
admit that I find it disgusting to be
propositioned by a homosexual, but l’m
sure, no more than most women feel at
some of the proposals which they
receive.

Turner continues his statement by
anticipating the spread of propaganda
in favor of and supporting gay activities
on campus; and that this would sway
the beliefs of many students who are
otherwise capable of making up their
own minds without Supportive adver-
tisements. How many people made up
their own minds ab0ut the Red River
Dam controversy without the flood of
propaganda? How many would have
cared or known anything about it if not
for this propaganda? Without informa-
tion there is nothing to decide, and
nothing to decide with, which leaves the
individual ignorant and incapable of a
decision.

Turner, like so many others, should
get off his high horse and look in the
mirror before making decisions which
intimidates and discriminates against
their fellow students. They probably
havea very boring sex life, too, as any
position other than the missionary
position can be interpreted as illegal or
perverted by many state governments.

Moral views aren’t
personal whims

 

By Kenneth Henley

In the Oct. to issue of the Kernel
(Kernel, Oct. )0, "Being gay is illegal,
immoral”), Chuck Turner expresses a
mmmitment to follow the moral instruc-
tions set out in the Bible. Among the
instructions in the Bible which Mr. Turner
cbes not mention in his article are these:
do not eat pork, shrimp and various other
animals (Lev.ll:7A10) for this is an
abomination just as are the sexual ”sins”
(see Lev. 20 for a combined treatment of
sexual and dietary abominations); do not
cut your forelocks or cut off the corners of
your beard (this command comes directly
out of God’s mouth in Lev. 19:27); kill
wizards and possesed persons by stoning
(Lev. 20:27); eject from the community
my couple in which the man has seen the
flow of the woman’s menstruation (Lev.
9:13),- on pain of requiring a ritual bath
and yourself being untouchable for one
day, do not touch a woman until seven
days after she has stopped menstruating
(Lev. 15:19-28). And from Mr. Turner's
favorite New Testament writer, St. Paul,
who disapproved of all sex rather than
merely some kinds of sex: if you can bear
not having any sex, then do not get
married, for marriage is only a concession
toour weakness, "it is good for a man not
to touch a woman,” ”if they cannot

 

contain, let them marry” (l Cor. 7);
women must not wear gold or pearls, must
”learn in silence with all subjection” and
must not take any authority away from
men, who, having all authority, are
presumably obligated to enforce these
prohibitions regardless of what women
think of the prohibitions (l Timothy 2:
912). St. Paul is hardly a good model for
sexual morality, unless one looks upon all
sex as dirty. Perhaps Turner is consistent
and in fact does believe all of what this
sexually frustrated man had to say about
sexual conduct—but i would not wish this
consistency on my worst enemy.

Turner implies that moral views must
rest either on blind belief or on personal
whim. I think that he is wrong about this;
rather than try to argue so large a question
here, I refer those interested in the
mestion to the history of moral philosophy
from Plato and Aristotle, through Hume
aid Kant, to Mill and then into the
contemporary literature. it is in this body
of work that enough intellectual serious-
ness about the moral life is found so that it
makes sense for us to pay attention to what
is said. No such seriousness is faund in
Turner’s appeals to authority and personal
whim.
