One candidate files
for $6 presidency

By KIM YELTON
Kernel Staff Writer

Competition for this year’s
Student Government (SG)
presidential and vice presidential
seats will come only if an organized
effort to write in a candidate’s name
materializes. Jim Newberry and
Cathy Welch are the only candidates
who have filed to run for president
and vice president, respectively.

Newberry is currently a senator-
at-large. Welch is an Arts 8: Sciences
senata'.

Three colleges—medicine, den-
tistry and library science—have no
candidates to represent them in the
SG senate races. However these
colleges usually do not have can-
didates running during the elections,

according to Marion Wade, chair-
person of 86’s election board.

No deadline extension

SG’s election board will not extend
the filing deadine for applications,
Wade said. Consequently, write-in
votes will be the only opportunity
students have to challenge

Newberry and Welch, and to fill -

those spots which have no ap-
plicants.

“We are one tight time schedule,”
said Wade. He explained that SG
could not extend the deadline
because finals are scheduled for the
first week in May. This does not give
as much time for campaigning as in
past years. Usually exams have
come during the second week in
May.

If there are no writein candidates

to fill the empty positions, Wade
said, SG will hold special elections
next semester. -

94 candidates file

A total of 94 candidates susbmitted
their applications by last week’s
Friday deadline. Those who applied
for Semte seats include:

Allied Health—Gail Burrows,
Charles Graham and Franklin
Kennedy. Agriculture—Charles
Brammer, Rick Faust, John Fertig,

Eddie Leach, James McWilson and .

Billy Renner.

A & S—Douglas Caudill, Robert
Hayes, J. Carey Junkin, Mark
Koopman, James Lobb, Donald
Prather, Robert Stuber, Alysia
Wheeler and Howard Whitehouse.

’Worst flood' ever thunders
through southeastern Kentucky

[AP] - At least four persons are
dead and hundreds of homes swept
away alter heavy spring rains
triggered massive flooding in
Southeastern Kentucky last night.

At least 200 persons were
evacuated from Harlan County, one
of the worst hit areas. The Cum-
berland River, which flows through

Southeastern Kentucky, was rising

at two feet an hour last night and
was expected to smash records and
crest 12-16 feet above flood stage.
“It‘s pretty awesome,” said Tom

Division. “The people we’ve talked

International Week enlivened
by Bostain's opening speech

iy (‘RMG DANIELS
Kernel Reporter

“The world is 95 per cent un-
American. We Americans can’t
straighten them out and we can’t
wipe ’em out. So we’ll have to learn
to read them.”

Thatwas the tongue-in-cheek——but
ultimately serious—message of
James Bostain, a popular lecturer
on intercultural communication, as
he delivered yesterday’s keynote
address of UK‘s international Week.

A crowd of more than 100 people'
filled a Classroom Building lecture
hall to hear Bostain’s hilarious and
timely speech. Listeners interrupted
him several times with laughter and
applause.

Bostain, who works at the Foreign
Service Institute in Washington,
DC, covered everything from in-
tercultural communication to
kinesthetic control of language to
the “three categories of dirty
words."

Bostain began his talk by
satirizing some common American
outlooks: “The world is 95 per cent
un—American. All those gooks out
there—they can‘t even speak

English. The world is
overrun by foreigners.

literally

‘(iookscan‘t be ignored‘

“We ignored them until World
War II,” Bostain continued. “But
now we know the gooks cannot be
ignored."

Bostain jokingly said that the
thing to do is to “get out there and
straighten 'em out.” But he said,
“You can‘t straighten them out. The
first year you’re overseas is spent
convincing the native that he’s a
primitive savage."

Bostain noted that these overseas
nations have been the subject of
changing bureaucratic language.
“‘Undeveloped’ was replaced by the
euphemism ‘underdeveloped',"
Bostain said “Then the chief of
protocol at the state department
said that these countries would
hericeforth be called ‘emerging' or
‘developing‘. They're on the move."
Bostain said, “but they must not
catch up.”

Bostain feigned shock as he
suggested, “Some of them think
we‘re backward." He continued,
“Face it, we are underdeveloped—

Haiti has it all over us in voodoo.”

Bostain quipped, “If you can‘t
straighten them out, you wipe ‘em
out. But then somebody says, ‘Well,
let's clean up at home too,’ and
you‘ve got a nrillion people here
dead."

'(iet out there and co-exist’

The most plausible solution to the
problem of all those un-Americans
in the world. Bostain suggested. is to
“get out there and coexist with
them. Try to learn to read their
symbols."

Bostain went on, “We think our
signals are universal, and that
caums big trouble."

Bostain concluded, “When in
Rome, don't be a Roman—that takes
20 years. Remember: they learn
their behavior; we learn ours. And
everyone is persistent in his
behavior.

“We can't straighten them out or
wipe them out,“ Bostain reiterated.
“We have to learn to read them."

In an interview before his speech,
Bostain said he became interested in
intercultural communication while
studying linguistics at Oberlin
College and Yet University.

Energy policy vital
for nation’s future

about issues since the OPEC nations quickened
the American pulse with an oil embargo in 1973.

sufficiency and set the wheels of government in
motion, searching for the Holy Grail known as a
comprehensive energy program. After
establishing its power, OPEC lifted the embargo
and nothing approaching an energy policy has

been instituted.

The Presidentialcampaign and OPEC's recent
price increase have rekindled the energy debate.
Carter and his energy chief, James Schlesinger
(a member of the Nixon Cabinet), have
promised to institute a meaningful program
which will be proposed to Congress on April 20.

Basically, the Carter Administration‘s
program will encourage energy conservation by
raising the price of gasoline and levying higher
taxes on big, gas-gobbling automobiles.

Carter and Schlesinger are committed to in-
creased coal production. Carter also proposes to
centralize energy planning under a Department
of Energy. abolishing such giants as the Federal

Power Commission (FPC).

“hatamounts to a massive reorganization and
an increase in prices to be borne by the con-
sumer will undoubtedly produce a long debate
and several changes in Congress. Principally,
elimination of the FPC and a determination of
the extent of Schlesinger‘s power will be con-

tested.

Whatever the final product, we can only hope
that it will include t 1) strict conservation
measures and (2) a concerned focus on

Countless studies have documented US. energy
inefficiency, some even suggesting that more
energy is wasted than used constructively.

The greatest offender is the automobile,
particularly those with big engines that have
been courted as a status symbol by Americans
oblivious to conservation. Following the OPEC
cartel, Detroit stepped up production of smaller,
more efficient cars.

Purchase of six and four cylinder engines
increased significantly in 1974, but have dropped
since. ignoring the inherent inefficiency of the
big V-8’s, Americans have turned back to those
engines although they are no longer considered
standard equipment and consequently are more
expensive.

Establishing a long-range energy program is
an infinitely more demanding project. Questions
about the feasibility of solar power, the cost,
safety and resources for nuclear power
production and the environmental concerns
raised by coal production all preclude a simple
determination of goals.

Perhaps the only sure feature of the upcoming
energy program is that it will call for sacrifices,
alterations in lifestyle. Since these fundamental
changes are inevitable, the sooner a concerted
energy policy is developed. the better.

Strip mine bill provides ray of hope

By FRANKLIN MILLER

With the passing of the new
national strip mine legislation per-
haps there is finally a glimmer of
hope for the mountains of Eastern

 

commentary,

Kentucky. I have been a resident of
Pike County my entire life and have
been constantly saddened by the
destruction of the mountains border-
ing my home.

I wonder if Gov. Julian Carroll
would be so willing to support the
strip mining industry if he had stood
by and watched the bulldozer’s
slowly destroy the mountains he had
grown to love, the same mountains
in Which he had hiked, and slept, and
experienced the glory of God’s work.

Although the hills of Eastern
Kentucky lack the majesty of the
Rockies or the Sierras, this is no
reason to stand by and passively
watch them be exploited by those
who are blinded by the thought§ of
personal power and money.

Because of their simple, but pure,
beauty these mountains have not
attracted the attention of the major
envionmentalist groups (such as the
Serra Club), so we, as Kentuckians
who truly appreciate the beauty of
our state, must take the protection of
these mountains into our own hands
and not depend on those groups.

if Gov. Carroll is confronted by a
society that disapproves of the
destruction of nature for material
gains, then he will be forced to think
twice before speaking openly- in
support of any type of strip mining.

One thing that I noticed in the
Kernel editorial on March 30 was the
statement “the act would insure
adequate reclamation of the land.”

 

 

From practical experience I can say
that “adequate reclamation” is a

- very shaky phrase. Strip mine

tperators Would gladly interpret this
statement to justify the scattering of
a few pounds of grass seeds to be
“adequate” reclamation.

I believe strip mine reclamation in
Eastern Kentucky bringing the land
mar its original contour is imposs-
ible. The steep slopes and loose soil
qrickly contribute to mass erosion,
resulting in clogged streams and a
lack of soil to use to recover the
stripped landscape.

The only alternative is the total
abolishment of strip mining in
mountainous areas. This would
mean a change to drift and shaft
means of mining. Strip miners
diject to this option, claiming that it

 

 

 

would result in a drastic job short-
age, but this is not the case.

An average deep mine hires from
ti) to 250 workers, while the person-
nel for a strip mine is much less than
this. The establishment of one new
deep mine would absorb the workers
from as many as three strip~mines,
automatically solving the problem.

But we cannot depend upon the
government to make these changes.
I encourage you to take a moment
and think about which you would
rather have—abeautiful and living
planet to enjoy life in the purest
sense or a few more volts of
electricity that we can waste at our
leisure.

 

This. comment was submitted by
Franklin Miller. a Forestry
freshman

for women, snow and tornadOes

hiking along a 40-iiiile stretch of the
Appalachian Trail.

Since he was an experienced hiker
as well as an Eagle Scout, i thought
the trip might be fun and agreed to
go along. We tried to get up a group
of people to join us, but apparently
everybody knew something i didn't
and begged off.

it ended up that only five people
were willing to go along; my
roommate, me, two dates and
another guy who for some reason
was um ble to convice a blind date to
spenda weekwith him in the wilds of
the Appalachins.

The first day of the trip started off
badly and continued to get worse.
According to the map that Joe had
memorized like a good scout, the
trail wassupposcd to start in a small
town called Titusville near the
Georgia-North Carolina border.

As wctumcd off the main highway
onto a desolate gravel road which
should have taken us to Titusville,

there was a sign that I should have

paid attention to. It said in large
decayed letters “Prepare to meet

your Maker." Images of F. Scott
Fitzgerald‘s lir, Eckelburg‘s eyes
briefly crossed my mind, but I
quickly dismissed my fears as an
ovcn‘caction.

Suddenly, as we. turned a corner
the road ended; we were in the
ll‘lddlt‘tlf nowhere on a road that led
to a creek. Undaunted by this minor
setback, Joe decided to check on the
l0cation of the trail and the mythical
'l‘itusvillc with some farmers we had
seen several miles back.

“Hell boy, Titusville‘s been
diconncctcd." the farmer told us
with a disgusted look on his face.

“Diconnccted? What do you mean
by that? How can you d‘sconnect a
town?" Joe asked.

”they closed the Post Office and
tore down the bridge over the creek.
Nobody lives there anymore. What
ya wanna go there for anyway."

We explained to him that we were
looking for the beginning of the
Appalachian Trail which he had
never heard of. “There is a trail that
runs through there," he said as he
pointed to an ominous look'mg

  
 

mountain in the distance. So, we left
him to feed his pigs and headed for
the unknown.

Alter parking our car at the
bottom of the hill, we loaded up with
our Sit-pound backpacks and looked
for the trail.

“According to my map," Joe said
authoritatively, “the. trail should
start a few miles up this hillt' He
kept saying that all day long. i
started having my doubts when I
found out that nobody had thought to
bring a compass.

We dont need a compass, ” Joe

'would say every time i asked about

where we were headed. "Moss
always grows on the North side of
the trees. " llut every trcel saw was
surrounded by moss.

We spent five hours, hiking upand
down that- mountain looking for the
trail andstarring at the omnipresent
moss. Finally, as the sun started to
set. Joe admitted that we were
"temporarily mislocated." He
couldn‘t bringhimself to say the
word last.

So we set up camp for the night

sans tents which we didn't need
because Joe said "You can't see the
star's through a tent." As things
turned out we couldn‘t see the stars
anyway— the tornado saw to that.

When it started to rain, we set up
two make-shift tents with our
ponchos. They lasted for about two
minutes. Although it was near

midnight, the sky flashed bright

orange and white; the wind slashed
the trees. 'l'lirtugh the sheets of rain
we saw it. Just briefly i caught a
glimpse of the funnel cloud. For the
rest of the night we huddled together
and waited to be swept away.

At dawn, wc hurriedly packed our

gear and ran down the mountain,

determined to go south for spring
break

Unfortunately. the tornado had the
same idta. It's been following me
ever since then.

Local banks re-institute service charges

By DICK GABRIEL
Assistant Msosghg Editor

The 67-cent personal check
might be a thing of the past.
A rarriom telephone survey

has revealed that many.

Lexington banks have ended
free checking and have
reinstated service charges on
personal checking accounts.

Most of the banks still offer
free checking, provided a
minimum bahnce is main-
tained, but production costs
and rising postal rates have
prompted a new local policy.
This means students who
reach, for their checkbooks
eight or nine times a day will
have to reconsider their
spending habits.

A spdreswoman at First

Security National Bart said a
$100,000 increase in postage
costs this year was one
reason for the change. First
Security depositers will be
required to keep a $150
minimum balance for free
checking. A maintainance
charged $2 per month will be
assesed if the balance drops
below that figure.

The bank also offers a
specialized account which
the 'spokeswoman said was
more appealing to students

who don't write a multitude of '

checks—~ no minimum
balance is required but a 50-
cent charge is levied each
month, in addition to a l5-cent

charge for each check
written.

Prize offered for new logo
