With six minutes remaining. the UK

point lead over the Auburn War Eagles.

what had been a disasterous season. But

it was that same autumn night that a
former-Mai‘iiithturned-local hood was
allegedly kidnaped by a former l'K
football player and three other men. These
two seemingly unrelated events were
bridged by siai' 'LK i‘unningback Alfred
“Sonny“ Collins.

Events of that evening eventually
spurred endless rumors about UK's
football team and finally provoked at least
three official investigations.

President Gerald Ford has
pulled off a minor coup d‘ etat in
his nomination of John Paul
Stevens to fill the vacancy on the
US. Supreme Court. As an appeals
courtjudge in Chicago, Stevens has
a record of conservative and
constructionist minority and
majority opinions.

Despite the II':::'€'" ~ 0: the
American Bar Association and his
old friend Sen. Charles Percy (R-
lll.) that Stevens is thoughtful and
would probably represent a
moderate view, the opinions
selected by the White House to give
the press a sample of Stevens’
views show differently.

In several opinions Stevens has
represented the view that evidence
taken in violation of constitutional
rights should be used if it is
reasonably reliable and adheres to
”fundamental fairness."

In one opinion, Stevens upheld a
conviction based only on a robbery
victim’s identification of a suspect
in a face-to-facemeeting ata police
station.

Even though Stevens admitted
the police were guilty of laziness or
sloppiness, he held it would be
unfair to throw out the iden»
tification because the victim was
sure of the suspect’s identity.

In another case, Stevens upheld
as evidence a confession obtained
by police who had failed to notify
the defendant of his right to remain
silent or of his right to counsel. In
turning down the request for ap-
peal, Stevens noted the defendant’s
lawyer had not objected to the use
of the confession.

In one more ”representative”
case, Stevens dissented on an
appeals court ruling which voided
a guilty plea in a drug case because
the judge had failed to inform the
defendant that he could not be
paroled in drug cases. The guilty
pleas were taken under "fun~

 

Stevens may harm
the judicial process

damentally fair“ conditions,
Stevens said, and he upheld the
conviction since the defendant was
not given the maximum sentence.

Perhaps Stevens' most reac-
tionary minority opinion came out
of a case in which theappeals court
ruled unconstitutional a high
school dress code forbading boys to
wear tang hair. "If parents and
teachers...agree that a child should
be compelled to observe a given
form of tradition, no matter how
irrational, the child has no
legitimate recourse but to obey,”
Stevens said in a recent Louisville
Times article.

It Stevens who has been
described as a strict con—
structionist Wis confirmed by the
Senate, it appears certain that he
will give the Supreme Court a solid
conservative majority.

Coupled with the four Richard
Nixon appointees, who are also
described as ”strict cori-
structionists" and devoted con-
servatives, and the two swing-
votes —Potter Steward and Byron
White who usually come up on the
conservative end of the stick ——
Stevens will give the high court a
conservative, reactionary slant.

It is apparent Ford was narrow-
minded in his selection process
from the beginning—four of the
final six names sent to the FBI for
clearance were either friends or
former colleagues of Attorney
General Edward Levi—and as a
result has nominated a narrow-
minded individual who can only
harm the judicial process in this
country.

The civil libertarian decisions
which have dominated the court
since Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s
administration, apparently ended
when former Associate Justice
William 0. Douglas stepped down.
Hopefully, it won’t take another 30
years to change the court.

Speech

Editor:

As a Christian, I feel compelled to
write to the Kernel concerning their
recent article (”Dean’s office avoids
rule enforcement,“ Nov. 25). In trying
to be clear-headed and Open-minded, I
do have to admit that the University
used good judgement when they
created the regulation ab0ut free
speech on campus and where it may be
expressed.

No one can interpret why Associate
Dean of Students Frank Harris didn’t
have Jimmy Conyers arrested when he
. refused to leave the office tower

fountain. Perhaps Harris regrets his

 

tetters

 

lack of action after your biting and
prejudiced article. I don’t regret his
action. If only one single, solitary
student remembers the name of Jesus
Christ tomorrow, then both Harris and
Conyers, in their own small way, helped
in God’s glori0us work. Thank you for
being lenient in your rules, Dean.

Perhaps it would be good for all of us
to remember that we want leniency
when it comes to Our own special
interests, but we become selfish and
sticklers for the rules when we disagree
with others.

Betty Ford creates
instant excitement

Perhaps you haven't noticed, but the
First Lady is more than just a Presidential
appendage, more thana spare rib, albeit a
privileged one. She is a personality in her
own right and in the next year she may
turn rut to be quite a political asset.

The United States is not noted for its
First Ladies. Sure they are better than the
Russians’, whose leaders seem to marry
short stubby Slavs who look like
washerwomen, perhaps in mute obeisance
to the principle of proletarianism. Sure
there’s Jackie Kennedy, and indeed her
beauty, vivacity and difficulty in
managing the family budget endeared her
to a nation captivated by her charismatic
husband. All that love evaporated when
she upped and married the obviously alien
Onassis. Mamie Eisenhower was a
nonentity, and despite the efforts of the
authors of a psychology textbook, who
cited Eleanor Roosevelt as a living
example rt Maslow’s concept of self.
actualization, I always ascribed it to the
authors’ prolonged Oedipus complex
combined with a case of virulent
chauvinism. Pat Nixon was about as
animated as her shoplifted face which
hung nextto thatof her sullen husband and
smiled occasionally in a Skinnerian
parody oi Pavlov’s dog.

Perhaps it is because Betty Ford is off-
set by her very ordinary husband but she
possesses a certain pizzazz that might
almost be construed as independence. In
any eventshe is human enough. No sooner
had her husband succeeded Nixon than she
was thrust into the savage spotlight not of
simpering columnists from Women’s
Week, butof the much wider community of
woman who winced collectively as she
underwent surgery for cancer of the
breast. More than any other woman, she
has shown that you can live with a
mastectomy, and that it is neither
physically nor psychologically disfiguring.

Betty Ford has the inestimable ad-
vantage of creatIng spontaneous ex-

citement. Wednesday the camera caught
her cavorting around a Chinese dance hall
with a Communist Chinese ballet dancer
(Gerald, beware the yellow peril). A few
mrnths ago, the ever present mechanical
eye of David Kennerley caught her in
treezeframe as she pushed her imperial
husband fully clothed into the swimming
pool.

We live in an age where the role of the
woman has been vastly changed for those
who desire it. I don’t know whett‘or the
psychologists are still reporting that yes,
Deidre, W‘ men’s grades are better than
boys’ for the first-two years of college but
then drop off as the motivation for
scholastic excellence is supplanted by the
search for a good marriage. We live in an
age where women can drive trucks and
lead cheers and receive little opprobrium
for either role.

We live in an age where the First Lady
can come out and state publicly that it
would not surprise her it her daughter
Susan had smoked pot or had an affair.
The conservatives and the South recoiled
In horror. The First Lady was a tramp.
The Lexington Herald was filled with
letters -t righteous indignation. Ann
Landers and her scrivening sister Abigail
van Buren arswered letter after letter
from outraged parents. Louis Harris
reported that the North loved It and the
South hated it, which was par for the
course. Unemancipated southern girls
look like peaches, smell like roses and do
not have an affair my dear. Southern
mothers see to that. Well Betty Ford burst
the bubble, and with it, her popularity
seemed to sink. Not so. Ann Landers
received a vaguely approving letter the
‘ther day saying that Betty Ford’s sin was
not to think it but to say it. Louis Harris
reported that Betty Ford’s popularity was
~n the upswing again where it had suf-
fered, andwhile her husbands continued to
descend.

While Shah Ii ves high,
workers suffer po vert y

 

By Mason Taylor

In an earlier article I described the
sudden rise of US. military aid to Israel.
However, Israel’s government is not the
only one in the Mid East beholden to the
Pentagon. Nor is Israel the only country
manipulated and toyed with by imperialist
America. It’s in the interest of American
monopoly profiteers to maintain corrupt
reactionary regimes of the King in Saudi
Arabia and the Shah in Iran, among
others.

While the workers and small farmers
live in poverty, the Shah of Iran lives high
on the hog, propped up and protected by
Our government. Children in Iran are paid
25 cents per day for making Persian rugs.
Adults get $2 per day for 12-14 hours work.
Of c0urse the Persian Gulf peoples are
increasingly anxious to dispose of their
ruthless deSpots and get their fair share of
the revenues from oil and get full pay for
their labor power.

The despots are worried about people
getting organized, so they are very
receptive when approached by CIA front
organizations like the Vinnell Corporation.
Vinnell has a $77 million "defense”
contract to send 1,000 US ex-soldiers to
train the Saudi Arabian National Guard.
What is Vinnell? According to one Penta-
gon officer: ”They were all ex-Green
Berets, ex-Rangers, ex-Sea Bees, ex-air
force pilots—real specialists in every
conceivable field.” The officer said they
“were an American mercenary force
which followed.us Out of Vietnam and did
the dirty work we didn’t want to do for
ourselves.”

Iran’s Shah has a $170 million contract
with Bell Helicopter. To maintain his
unpopular regime, the Shah is also getting

 

1,500 former US. Army pilots to set up
flight schools in Iran.

The good old US. Army Corps of
Engineers (same wonderful guys who
wanted to dam Red River in Kentucky) is
going to Saudi Arabia to supervise
construction of the $60 million Saudi
Arabian National Guard headquarters. In
1974 the US. sold $3 to $4 billion worth of
military products to oil~rich Persian Gulf
states. By March, 1975, the US. had
uniformed troops in Oman, Kuwait and
Iran to ”advise” or to train. This is in
addition to the civilian-clothed Vinnell
Corp. mercenaries (experts in c0unterin-
surgency and mechanized warfare) sta-
tioned in Saudi Arabia.

Seeing these facts do you get the feeling
thatthe US. government is leading us into
the same political and military swamp we
faced in 196061 in Indochina?

Today our government is trying to get
around at least two laws. 1. Americans
cannot fight for a foreign army on foreign
turf. To get around this we are told that
Vinnell will ”train,” not fight. 2. The
Hatfield Amendment (passed by a post.
Vietnam Congress) forbids committing
US. forces without Congressional ap-
proval. To circumvent this, Vinnell re-
cruits ex-military forces. One ex‘Green
Beretwho wanted to join the CIA was told
to go back to his hometown and enlist in
the National Guard. "We’ll make sure
you’re sent to Infantry Officer Advance
School at Fort Benning,“ he was told.
”Then we’ll make sure you’re released
from the National Guard. Then you come
back and see us.” He is now with Vinnell.
The uniformed troops already in the
Middle East are not committed in a
combat situation. So even though they are
there, they theoretically do not violate the

While working at Oberlin

 

By L Sue Greer

It is said one should judgea man by wnai
he does not by what he says. As an Oberlin
graduate who watched Jack Scott in action
during his first year, l consider him a
paranoid, Overbearing bully. Scott was too
bu5y fighting boogy men to really listen to
students, unless they were part of his
worshipping, select cadre.

But let us consider cases:

1. The Olympic-size pool that Scott
mentions in his Kernel interview ("Jack
Scott blasts college athletics; stays quiet
about Patty Hearst,” Nov. 19), as well as
the multimillion dollar gym surrounding
it, opened less than a year before Scott’s
arrival. The old facilities had been
woefully inadequate for the college, let
alone the town. Yet on numer0us occasions
town groups had access to them, in
particular to the old pool where student.
taught swimming classes were given to
town children, with special programs for
handicapped children. With the opening of
the new facilities seriOus discussion of
town use was in process between college
and town council months before anyone

ever th0ught of hiring Scott.

2. Scott antagonized a large segment of
the noncollege community weeks before
any students arrived on campus when he
physically assaulted a young man ”treS»
passing“ outside the college gym one
evening (the gym is located on the very
fringe of campus on a public street.) This
matter was subsequently, albeit mysteri»
ously, settled Out of c0urt.

3. Scott created a women’s athletic
committee to serve strictly as an advisory
body. When Scott attended the meetings,
he dominated the discussion, bullying and
intimidating the members. When he
wasn't there his wife Mickie (appointed by
Scott as women’s track coach, in name
only) attended in his stead so that free
discussion of grievances and ideas was
inhibited.

4. Of the many suggestions arising out of
the women’s committee weekly meetings
in two years, Scott acted upon only two of
them. The first, so trivial as to be
ludicrous, was that he write a letter to the
men staffing the equipment window in the
gym, suggesting that they refrain from
making suggestive jokes about ”jock
straps" whenever women checked out

Hatfield Amendment.

The only question is: How long will this
”noncombat” situation last? How much
longer can the establishment Saudis,
Kuwaitis, Omanis and Iranians resist the
anger of their exploited workers and
farmers? How much longer, for example,
will Iranians putgip with low wages while
paying food prices equal to those of New
York City? How much longer will they put
up with totally inadequate health care with
one d0ctor per 12,000 people and one third
of their children dead before age five?
How much longer will Iranian farmers put
up with yearly incomes of $125? How much
longer will the people put up with a lousy
education system that produces a 65 per
cent illiteracy rate? How much longer will
they putup with housing where over 40 per
cent of the households live in single~room
dwellings?

How much longer will Iranian farmers
and workers put up with such abominable
conditions when they learn the annual oil
income of Iran is $22 billion? How much
longer will they tolerate double exploita-
tion by the tiny Iranian ruling class which
profits from their country’s natural re-
sources?

If the analogy to Indochina holds, one
writer suggests it’ll be another few or five
years before a ”Persian Gulf Incident”

equipment. In the second instance he
accepted the women’s suggestion that he
alter his previous plans and not eliminate
any of the men‘s junior varsity sports.
5. Men on varsity teams at Oberlin, as
elsewhere, received letter jacket wind-
breakers. The varsity fencing team had
gone co-ed in the fall of 1972, with women
fencers competing with equal status as
men. The fencing coach accordingly
requested that three Outstanding women
fencers receive varsity letter jackets in
the spring of 1973. The requests were
processed along with all the others and
presumably approved by Scott as the three
women received certificates allowing
them to pick up their jackets. However,
when two of the women arrived at Scott’s
office and presented their certificates they
met with resistance. Scott, the selfstyled
proponent of women’s rights said: ”But
it’s never been done before!” and refused
to issue the jackets. The women had to
carry their petition up through the college
dean, and to state their case to the college
president himself before they finally
received their hard earned reward.
Space limitations alone prevent a point

occurs. The fear of losing oil will catalyze
the commitment of US. troops on a
combat basis. And we'll be on the same
grotesque, absurd merry.go»r0und that we
just got off: destrOying villages to save
them, falsified body counts, shrapnel
bombs from Honeywell, napalm from
Dow, etc.

What is the alternative? How can we
stay off the imperialist merry-go-round?
Let’s put our heads together to figure it
out. We can learn more about the Persian
Gulf and the Mid East by joining a study
group, and meeting the students from that
area. Call the Iranian Student Association
at 255-1840 or Mohammed at 2583307 to
learn the time and place of the biweekly
meetings. YOU can sign the petition urging
the Student Center Board to invite a
Palestine Liberation Organization repre-
sentative. (Sources for this commentary:

Mason Taylor is a UK alumnus.

Scott was a paranoid, overbearing bully

in the article by Dick Gabriel ("Were
Scott‘s changes ’radically’ dangerous?“
Kernel, NOV. 19), as well as further
examples of instances in which Scott’s
actions contradicted the values he ver~
bally esposes. Many of the changes which
Scott asserts to have caused were actually
brought about by the same forces for
change existing in the college which saw
his hiring.

The Oberlin College community as a
whole has always been antagonistic to the
”professionalization” of sports (athletes
cannot be recruited nor are sports
scholarships offered). The most telling
indictment of Scott, the man, is that the
pressures for dismisssal arose primarily
from the student body (and not the
administration as implied by Scott), from
the very people most sympathetic with the
values for which Jack Scott claims to
stand.

As one Oberlin woman athlete recently
put it: "I have yet to see a pro.
Jack Scott article written by anyone other
than a white male.”
