Stovall cal/s
legislature
to session

(AP) —-— As Gov. Julian Carroll
returned to Kentucky yesterday to
cope with the special legislative session

call of his lieutenant governor. a key
' lawmaker predicted the session would
last about l0 days.

House Speaker William Kenton. D-
Lexington. said. however. that if he
has his way. the Legislature simply will
convene on Dec. II and then recess
until perhaps early next year to
consider the topics listed by Lt. Gov.
Thelma Stoval.

They include relief from various
taxes and proposed reductions in
various fines that were increased by
the I978 General Assembly.

Kenton said on a Lexington
television panel that he is calling a
meeting of the Democratic leadership
in the House and Senate this week to
set the agenda for the session. called by
Stovall last Friday while Carroll was
attending a governors‘ conference in
Georgia.

Kenton said it might be a good idea
to pass a constitutional amendment
which would prohibit a lieutenant
governor from taking such action.

He said the authorization came
during a time when travel and
Communication were comparatively

No hope for bowl bid as Wildcats suffer

a Georgia-esque loss to Florida Gators

By JAMIE VAL'GHT

Associate Sports Editor

Saturday wasn‘t a very peachy day
for Kentucky.

“It was one of those kind of days."
said a weary UK Coach Fran Curci.
“We were our own worst enemy
today." .

C urci was referring to the mistake-
ridden Wildcats‘ l8-l6 loss to Florida
at Commonwealth IStadium.
Kentucky lost three fumbles and had

' four passes intercepted in a
Southeastern Conference game which
was decided by Gator senior Berj
Yepremian‘s 38-yard field goal with 42
seconds left to play.

The setback removed all possibility
for Kentucky to receive an invitation
to the Peach Bowl. which will be held
on Christmas Day in Atlanta. A
victory over Florida and Tennessee —
with the help of Georgia. who failed to
beat Auburn - would have sent the
Wildcats to the same bowl for the
second time in three years.

“We made too many mistakes."said
Curci. whose Cats lost to (ieorgia I7-
|6 three weeks ago on a field goal. also
in the final seconds. “We have some
young kids who make mistakes. Our
guys played hard and that's all you can
ask them to do. We have a good
football team. but not a great team.

“This was not as tough a loss as
Georgia. It‘ll take me a long time to get
over that one. That was a much harder
game to lose."

Kentucky split end Bill T'olston said.
“We just didn't play like we should
have."

Kentucky. now 4-S-l overall and 2-3
in SEC. raced to a I6-l5 lead with 4:45
remaining when running back Rod
Stewart scored on a one-yard
touchdown run. climaxing a 60-yard
scoring drive in IS plays.

One play earlier. the Wildcats had
kept their victory hopes alive when the
officials penalized Florida for pass
interference on UK‘s fourth down.

Yepremian‘s older brother. Garo. is
one of the NFL‘s premier kickers.

Yepremian's statistics are just as
impressive as his performance. against
Kentucky. On the season. he is l6-for~

on extra points.

The man is not flawless. however.
Saturday. for the first time this season.
he missed an extra point. The miss
came in the first quarter. during which
the Gators jumped to a 9-0 lead.

After the game. Berj obviously had
not forgotten that miss.

“I'm going to call Garo in about five

minutes.“ Yepremian said. "I‘m sure
he listened to the game on the radio
and I'll bet the first thing he asks me is
why I missed that extra point. ljust
hurried it."

Berj said that miss weighed heavily
on his mind when he came in to
perform his late-in-the-game heroics.

“It was my fault and I felt bad about
it because I let my team down. But I
wasn't nervous; I‘ve been in pressure
situations before. You can‘t afford to
get nervous: it‘ll destroy you."

Yepremian said the Wildcats tried
to distract his concentration.

“They were making remarks about

my mother." Yepremian said. "And‘

they don‘t even know her. It did I do me
up. ljust kicked the ball and looked at
them and said. “Thank you.“

But Yepremian had no hard
feelings.

“I don‘t blame them." he said. “They
were just trying to win the game. I
would‘ve done the same thing if I had
been in their position. but I might not
have been so nice."

But the game wasn‘t finished. The
(iators began their eventual winning
drive. starting on Florida‘s ll. Ten
plays later. 5-6 Yepremian booted his
fourth field goal of the contest to give
the (iators their fourth win of the
season in nine meetings.

“We had two or three chances to
break it open.“ said a happy Florida
Coach Doug Dickey. “There were two
or three ways we could lose and it
looked like we were going to do it.

“But we kept on fighting. On the
final drive we felt that ifwe could reach
the 35. we'd be all right. I am very
happy for Yepremian."

Curci said. “Florida is a sleeping
giant. They‘ve got the talent. You
don‘t let them jump out on you.“

After Florida. which made four
turnovers. took a 9-0 lead. Kentucky
had the crowd of 56.500 roaring when
the Wildcats rallied to score l0 points
with less than three minutes to go in
the second frame.

Yepremian said he is “very close" to
Garo and that the elder brother taught
him a secret about kicking when Berj
was in high school. He wouldn‘t reveal
what that secret is.

_ "Whenever I’m home. Garo and l
are together 90 percent of the time."
Berj said. "We just go out in the yard
and goof around. Mom thinks we're
never going to grow up. We're just

Yepremian said he wouldn't mind
being drafted by the Dolphins. but he
hopes to play for Tampa Bay. Berj
nearly left school last year to try out at
the Buc‘s training camp. but opted for

Yepremian‘s winning kick was one

Decision delayed
for adopting new
transcript proposal

By DEBBIE MCDANIEL
Copy fditor

Controversy still surrounds the
adoption of relative transcripts by
Senate Council. It delayed a final

decision until additional studies of
samples of

anonymous random
voluntary relative transcripts can be
made by council members.

The council voted Friday to table
the proposal implementing transcripts

at UK until it receives the samples of

the format for the proposed relative
transcript.

The transcripts proposed for UK
would list 40 to 50 courses by name.
the average GPA of the class. the
average grade in the class. the student‘s
grade and the number of students in
the class.

Arts and Sciences Dean Donald
Sands. who initiated action to
implement the transcripts. met with
the council Friday and answered the
.najority of its questions. Yet after a
lengthy discussion. it deferred action

. for the third time in four weeks.

Two Student Government
representatives on the council.
Business and Economics Senator Bun
English and SG President Gene
'Tichenor. submitted a Iii-question
memo for the meeting resulting from
three weeks of research on possible
detriments transcripts
might have to career plans of UK
students.

“A lot of the questions I won‘t be
able to answer." Sands said.
“Transcripts provide some additional
information about the course. It
seemed to us when we discussed it
(relative transcripts) it was to the
student‘s advantage.“

Later in the meeting. when a council
member mentioned tabling the
motion. he argued. "What the Senate
should be doing is enforcing the
principle."

Sands said the only other college
presently using relative transcripts is
the University of Utah. which
implemented it last year.

The concept of relative transcripts
initiated at the University of
California at Berkeley. but mandatory
relative transcripts was defeated by
strong student opposition.

Even though such transcripts were
initiated as a means to combat grade
inflation. Sands said "it certainly was
not designed to beat the faculty over
the head“ to demand they assign un-
ianated grades.

Students applying for admission to
medical. professional or graduate
school would benefit most from
having a transcript providing
additonal information for admissions.
personnel. Sands said.

After the obvious top applicants are
accepted. the admission people must
select from the middle range of
applicants with similar qualifications;
a student with a solid 3.0 grade point
average who has taken rigorous
courses will benefit from a transcript
showing his GPA has more weight
than another student with a 3.0 GPA
and simple courses. Sands said.

Several council members asked
whether admissions people for
medical. professional and graduate
schools would require relative
transcripts if they were available to
UK applicants. They implied that
students not submitting transcripts
would be discriminated against.

“These things that begin as a good
idea and voluntary. rather rapidly
becbme a great idea and required.“
council member Jane Emmanuel said.
“I just don‘t think it‘s going to be that
useful to the majority of the students.“

“I don't know how many students
would take advantage of it. probably
not a large number." Sands agreed.
adding most would be students
applying for admissron to medical.
professional or graduate school.

After Sands left. the council debated
the issue for several more minutes
before deciding to request additional
information. “I don‘t think the
students have enough information to
make a decision and I think students
should have input." English said.

Law Senator Stockton Wood asked
that the sample transcripts contain
examples of out-of-state students.

Jesse Jackson is way of base in attacking popular music

The Rev. Jesse Jackson will make a cameo
appearance on the television program The Lou
Grant Show tonight. delivering a high school
graduation address. The performance is nothing
new for Jackson, as he‘s been delivering similar
speeches for many months in a personal effort to
improve education.

Jackson. 37. is the head of People United to Save
Humanity — PUSH —~ out of which the group
EXCEL operates. The latter organizations theme
has been simple and effective ~ by getting serious
and working hard. students, parents and teachers

' can become more effective.

You can‘t argue with such goals, and Jackson‘s
fire-and-brimstone speeches are both persuasive
and convincing. Combining street-smart
experiences and religious conviction. Jackson
reaches the black and underprivileged as no one else
ever has. and he‘s surely been an inspiration to many
youths whose lives could be wasting away.

Still. some people who applaud his goals and
successes might be unnerved at certain elements of
the philosophy that he preaches to American youth.
Jackson’s message for living is moralistic and very
comprehensive. In the haste to drive out booze.
drugs and illicit sex. he cuts a wide swath through
much of modern culture. The best example is his

criticism of music. much of which he termed
“nothing but pornography.“

In an example. Jackson mentioned the Rolling
Stones' album Some Girls as obscene. “It‘s an insult
to all women and to black women in particular. It is
an insult to all decent people.“'he said. “You cannot
be somebody and blow your minds on this type of
music. This stuff is short-term pleasure and long-
term payments. "

The lyrics Jackson objected to were from the
album‘s title song. which characterizes black women
as sexually overactive. and which also unflatteringly
generalizes other ethnic female groups.

The problem here is that while Jackson‘s
assessment is correct A the Rolling Stones‘ music is
sexist. decadent and perhaps obscene — it‘s a bit
unfair. Yanking a few lyrics from the context they
have in an album and deriding them before a
graduation ceremony is simply too forced.

Popular music and culture have often been
criticized for debasing American Youth. And
perhaps not too coincidentally. the criticism has
often been based in high-powered religious groups.
such as Jackson‘s. Other songs have been
denounced in other years. even seemingly tame ones
like Paul Simon‘s “Cecilia." which included a
passing reference to sex.

But a song is just a song. It can‘t force anyone to
think a certain way. or adopt a certain code of
morals. The particular styles of the group that
prod uced.Some Girls and the forces that move rock
music are familiar. predictable and hardly
dangerous. Jackson's musical critique takes us back
more than two decades. when Ed Sullivan featured a
pelvis-less Elvis on television.

How dangerous are the Stones to today‘s youth?
The question is as absurd as it sounds. It‘s difficult
to imagine many people taking the songs ofJagger
and Richards to heart. as a code to live by. Even
Mick. who worries about more important things
like tax havens and alimony payments. probably

 
 
   
 

considers his lyrics little more than lucrative silliness
something to keep the show going and the money
coming in. '

Most teenagers and adults can appreciate the
difference between a song and real life. It‘s a shame
that Jackson feels they can't be trusted to make that
distinction. and that by scaring the hell out of them
toward anything remotely connected to America‘s
“carnal culture." he can help more kids.

So if you catch Jesse Jackson on television
tonight. think carefully about some of the things
he's saying. He‘s on an excellent mission and is
doing urgent and valuable work. but sometimes the

eagerness to bring salvation can come at the expense
of common sense.

No clubs

I belong to no select group or any
clubs. I amjust a student of UK and I
would like to use some ofthe facilities
available to the students but I can‘t
find any. The pool has everybody from
6 to 60 at the free swim hours. The
problem is that no time has been
alloted for students to use the facility.
The faculty. staff and graduate
students have times set aside
specifically for them at the pool. Since
lam an undergraduate. I must swim at
the free swim hours.

First. is there any possible way to
extend the hours for the pool. I don‘t
know what the capacity is to safely
accomodatc people swimming and
diving. but over the months I‘ve been
swimming it appears to be severely
overcrowded. When there are l()
people per lane and people swimming
in the diving area. it would seem that
added hours or another pool of larger
capacity is needed. Obviously. the
most readily obtainable is to Iengthen
the hours. To relieve further
congestion. a much larger pool is
needed.

l also enjoy lifting weights but it
appears that that has also come to an
end unless ljoin a club. I was notified
that unless I buy a card to varify my
membership to the club. I could no
longer use the facility. BULLSHIT!
They are used in a state-funded
building and why campus recreation
sponsors a club that does not allow a
full-time student to use the facility is
what I don‘t understand. I guess unless
there is a club or group associated. it
would not be sponsored.

(It is ajoke to think Seaton Center)
could possibly be adequate for the
number of students that are on
campus. I understand that the gym has
to buy weights and keep the room up.
etc.. but I thought when I paid my
tuition fee for a full-time student that l
was allowed to use campus facilities
without having to purchase additional
memberships.

In summary. I‘m asking for

 

extended hours of the present facilities
and wondering why more are not
being buiIi to accomodatethe students
without the students having to join
clubs or groups to use the facility.

Unfair policy

I am a native American andi‘ oyal
Kentuckian and I cannot understand
what is happening in our country.
state. and especially here on campus.
For weeks it seems that all I see on the
news is Iranians protesting and
rampaging throughout their country
about (the) Shah and Americans in
Iran. It appears to me that Americans
are the real subject of Iranian slander
and mockery. Just recently on the
news. reports of threats toward
Americans (telling them) to leave Iran
were reported on. What I cannot
understand is if the Iranians are so
much against American help. why do
we welcome them by the hundreds
with badly needed federal and state
money. So many Kentuckians work
hard to go to college while our
government will put anybody from
overseas through school and use our'
money in the aid of people from one of
the richest (countries) in the world.
With all the circumstances involved.
this just doesn't sound fair to anyone
at our University.

Kyrie eleison

Robert Hemenw'ay‘s “Office Tower
Blues" (Kernel. Nov. l5) “a true
story."(which) happened in Lexington

left me concerned yet pious.

I am concerned because what fell on
that innocent black student harassed
by the Lexington police department
(which was most effectively trying to
exercise poetic justice by proving
scientifically that the black student
raped a white woman) was. as

 

Hemenway put it. “a representative
American tale.“

Besides worrying for other blacks
who might. sooner or later. be forced
to be at the mercy of the great white
race. I suddenly became acutely aware
that I myselfmight someday betreated
as a rape suspect. a victim ofthe logical
reasoning that I am the only Chinese
“living in the neighborhood where the

' attack occurred.“ I might even be

convicted simply because all tangible
evidence satisfied the detective’s
expectations: even my blood type
might match precisely the rapist‘s
sperm type and only God can
confirm my innocence.

At this stage. I shudder to imagine
the all too probable possibility and can
only curse my parents for being of the

ongolian root. while humbly
wishing God have mercy on us all.

Sober and pissed

Homecoming weekend at Civic Center
was hardly an enjoyable experience

BY DAVID PRATT

This past weekend was expected to
be a good one for me. The
homecoming formal at the Hyatt on
Friday night and the Moody Blues
concert Saturday were to be the
highlights of homecoming to me.

Hardly.

opinion

I went to the Hyatt Friday evening
expecting a formal like others I‘ve
attended: drunk. rowdy parties where
everyone can enjoy themselves
without fear of being hassled. I
prepared fortheevening by v‘isitingthe
Chevy Store earlier and gettinga quart
of rum that was to take care of me and
my date for the formal and the football
game Saturday afternoon. Upon
entering the exibition hall at the Hyatt.
we found an empty table toward the
back and made ourselves comfortable.

After getting situated. I went to the
bar to get mixers for our drinks. I

 

 

 

 

thought a buck for a little cup of Coke
was a little steep for college students.
but what the hell. we're rich. right‘.’
lmmediatly after mixing the first (and
what turned out to be the last) drinks
of the night. one of the Pinkerton
Policemen. Rent-A-Pigs. or whatever
they‘re called. took my bottle from me.
“Excuse me. officer.“ I said politely.
“But that belongs to me."

“We‘re to confiscate all bottles of
alcohol. son. Just doing my job.“ was
his cold reply. '

I didn‘t understand. This never
happened before. All I did forthe next
half hour was sit in my chair with my
mouth agape: mydate was apologizing
the whole time because it was her idea
to come to the formal. No one told us
we couldn’t bring in our own booze.
After regaining my composure. I went
out and asked one ofthe “policemen“
about the situation. He said that the
managers ofthe Hyatt didn‘t want any
injuries from broken bottles. so the
stout men in blue were to collect them.

“But they‘re selling bottled beer at'

the bars in there!“ I said. a little more
loudly than I should have.

 

 

 

 

“Uh. uh. well. uh.“ was his educated
reply. ,

i left m'c formala little disillusioned.
a lot sober. and. yes. I was even pissed
off. V

I had forgotten about the incident
by Saturday night and l was all set to
enjoy a great concert. I was in good
spirits as I went through theturnstiles
at Rupp Arena until I saw my friends
again.

“Raise your jacket and turn
around." a huge black man in uniform
told me. My God. what have I done? I
don‘t do drugs and they took my booze
last night. What more could they
possibly want? My girl friend was
forced to show the contents of her
purse. which didn‘t sit too well with
her. I wasn‘t going to let this bother
me. I had been looking forward tothis
concert for months and they weren‘t
going to ruin it for me.

The concert was great and I left the
Lexington Center in a great mood.
When I got back to my car parked in
the lot next to the Arena. I discovered
that it had been broken into. The
dashboard had been ripped apart by
vandals trying to get my tape player
out. The first thing that crossed my
mind was that while the hired cops
were inside hassling people who paid
money to attend the event. someone
was outside raping my car. unnoticed.

I guess that these hired cops arejust
doing their job: but how can the
management at the Lexington Center
feel justified by hiring men to
humiliate the people who have paid to
attend these events? They should be
watching out for our welfare instead of
making sure that we don't smuggle
anything nasty like booze or
marijuana into a dance or concert. Let
us enjoy ourselves. Go out and catch
the real criminals. or at least keep them
from hurting the people who
ultimately pay your salary.

It took three months. a
committee report and
negotiations between two
deans before the Senate
Council approved a proposal
to establish a Gerontology
Center at UK.

The lengthy process ended
Friday after Council Chairman
Joe Bryant told the council he
had unconfirmed information
that the deans have reached an
agreement on two issues which
stalledthe proposalthis month.

The proposal which first
reached the Senate Council on
Sept. 8. was to establish a
Gerontology Center to
research and handle courses on
aging. and provide services to
the elderly now handled by the
Council on Aging.

The Senate Council sent the
proposal to be studied by its
committee on academic
organizations and strticturc
and on Oct. 27The committee
chairman Professor Jesse
Harris reported it recommend-
ed approval with three
modifications. 'I he most
controversial modification
asked that it be clearly stated
that the center can only
coordinate and not initiate
courses because the center's
staffconsistsofadministrators.
not teachers.

’I he council asked the
program‘s coordinators.

Medical College Dean I). Clay

Dean Wimberly Royster to
respond to the modifications.
At a Nov. 3 council meeting.
Bryant told the council the
proposal was withdrawn for
one month when Clawson and
Royster could not resolve the
issue of whether the center. as a
research institute. could initiate
courses.

Bryant said he “sat down
with Dean Clawson"and found
there was “sharp disagreement "
between the two deans. “'I hen
Royster came over and the two
just ran head on.“ lie said
Friday.

Although he had not yet
reached them by phone. Bryant
said he had messages from both
deans that the teaching issue
was resolved. He also receiyed
word they had agreed to
exclude the Council on Aging
from the center until it was
established.

The other two modifications
suggested expanding the
center‘s Advisory Council to
include the Dean ofthe College
of Social Professions and
separating the Gerontology
Center and Cotincil on Aging
until the program is funded and
has a director.

In addition. the council
members received copies of the
new wording defining the
center‘s teaching function as
“listing" relevant courses
taught by faculty from various
