Lexington Air: Moving Toward A Crisis

EDITOR'S NOTE: In this first of a three-par- t
scries
on Lexington air pollution, the focus is on both private
and city contribution to the problem.

the eyesores which they produce, but in the harmful effects they have on health. Health ills caused by pollution range from minor coughs toailmentsofa far more
serious nature, especially asthma and other respiratory

Health Hazard
The correlation between air pollution and disease
is recognized by many area physicians, according to a
recent survey by the state Department of Health. Of the
Lexington physicians sampled, 21 percent agreed that increasing pollution was at least partially responsible
for an increase in deaths and illnesses in Lexington,
and 80 percent voiced support of new pollution legislation.
Sources of air pollution in this area are many and
varied, and UK, described by a number of graduate
engineering students as "a major source of pollution,"
must assume its share of the blame. The problem is
especially apparent on South Limestone Street, where

black smoke billows out of the Physical Plant Department, and in the GOO block of South Broadway, where
pollutants from the R.J. Reynolds building settle on
windshields of parked cars several blocks away.
City Offenders
Also mentioned by the Department of Health as ofg
fensive sources are the
heating plants at thr
city housing project on Bluegrass Drive, and the Lexington Dump on Old Frankfort Pike, where a large incinerator and a rocket-shape- d
"teepee burner" add their
part to the pollution process.

According to the commission, air pollution in Lexington usually takes the form of fly ash, gases, soot and
odors. These pollutants may express themselves in visible formsas ugly smoke or grime collected on windows,
windshielfs and laundry.

in the United States to attend
the first international seminar
in mathematics to be held in a
Communist country.
The seminar, entitled the International Symposium of Mathematical Theory, was held Sept.
in Budapest, Hungary.
"Things have improved considerably in Budapest since I was
there last," Dr. Covindarajulu
said. "I was really impressed
with how freely the scientists
from Eastern Europe were allowed to mingle and discuss their
projects. And the atmosphere in
Budapest was a lot more relaxed."
"The air of informality was
very different," he said. "Most
of the scientists could speak several languages Hungarian, Russian, English and German-a- nd
if one of us had trouble finding the correct word another scientist would immediately supply
it for him. They struck me as
very friendly people."

Not only did the symposium

mathematical theories, but it also
gave the scientists a chance to
be informal with each other and
learn a little more about other
countries, he said.
"Everybody knew a little bit

things were very informal," he
said. "We got together and discussed everything but politics.
No one ever mentioned that. We
even got around to discussing
the salaries of each of us. In
America one never asks another's

salaries."
By contrast with the U.S.,
Dr. Covindarajulu said, the Communist scientists' research grants
come entirely from the government rather than from industrial
and foundation sources. "The
scientists from these countries
are very much interested in theory. They are behind us in its
appUcation to industry."
One thing which surprised

"Dirty Pictures From The Prom."
Dy Earl M. Ilauch, Doublcday,
$2.93.

It has often been said that by
reading what an artist has
written, you can determine what
he (the artist) has read. If that is
an accurate indicator, Earl M.
Rauch is quite a
artist.
In his first novel, "Dirty Pictures
From the Prom," Rauch has managed not only to reflect, but
also to synthesize the work of
Salinger, Heller and several
others.
well-rea- d

That would be a tremendous
accomplishment for any author,
particularly in a first novel, but
for a
college student
from Abilene, Tex., who was a
member of Future Farmers of
America, it is phenomenal.
Rauch is now a sophomore
'at Dartmouth, having won a
Merit Scholarsliip.

At age eight Creynaldo dies
of leukemia and goes to heaven.
In fact, all of the characters that
die go directly to heaven or hell.
All of them also have the remarkable ability to communicate with
Bamaby and advise him on his

life.

screwed-u- p

It is in the relationship of
Bamaby and Creynaldo that

Rauch takes on some of the tendencies of J.D. Salinger. The Class
family of "Raise High the Roof
Beams, Carpenter" and "Franny
and Zooey" bears a remarkable
resemblance to the Saltzers. Even
more, the concept of the older
brother being even wiser than the
genius second son is verysimiliar
to the relationship of Seymour
and Buddy in "Franny."
Heller's influence shows in
two areas. First, the wildly
stylized characters that hall
marked "Catch-22- "
have definite
counterparts in "Dirty Pictures."
There is a homosexual midget
wrestler, an
guerilla chief
named Captain Bluebird and
Creynaldo in the afterlife, where
he tries to depose Cod.
Related to the characters are
the wildly outrageous adventures
that Barnaby gets into. Unlike
those in "Catch-22,- "
Bamaby's
exploits are tainted with misfortune and a touch of melancho- -

suspicion; it makes teaching a dependency of sponsored research.
It is not enough for President
Nixon to assure the students, as
he did on Saturday, that he shares
with them a concern over the same
problems. He must device a cohesive policy both in support of
higher education and in the reordering of national priorities.
Outlines of a nationwide policy
for the support of students and institutions have been ably sketched
by the Carnegie Commission on
Higher Education. Until these

hope that the romantic appeal of

The fact that leading university

summer recess in efforts to dissuade

Jt

er

The current jargon emphasizes
the "restructuringof university
ernance;" and the reform of procedures, from trusteeship to student participation, is indeed important. But in the final analysis
the strength and integrity of the
academic community will depend
on the readiness of its constituencies to live in the rational spirit
of mutual trust. The key to the
future remains the willingness of
faculties, as the central force, to
focus on shared campus purposes
and to safeguard, not vested interests, but the intellectual and social

ture.
Harvard and Stanford have now
joined the academic procession toward review and reform of campus:
government procedures. Their ac-- i
tion is added evidence that the'
infusion of new and younger blood
into the university trusteeship is
gathering speed.
After last year's bitter experience, university administrations
may be better prepared to use the
courts and the legal process in maintaining peace. But this, though
necessary, deals only with emer-- ;
gencies. The deeper problems of!
American higher education will not;
be solved on the barricades; they
require rational and cooperative
by all segments of the
academic community and a readiness by society to reassess higher
education's financial support.
Internally, the machinery must
be created for continuous review
of academic content, methods and
goals in teaching as well as in
research without slavish adherence to the status quo or fitful
surrenders to fashionable demands.
Although relevancy is of the essence, most learning is rendered
relevant, not by course titles but
by the spirit of teaching and learn-

I would like to comment on the recent
articles concerning the UK band that
have appeared in the Kernel. Your views
are different from mine; but nonetheless they are your views and I respect
them as such. I wish to commend the
band on their first "show". As time
passes, I am sure they will produce better "shows" and will perhaps meet your

loyalty.

he elaborates upon them. The fact is that
the "abduction" car was located three
hours later, and explanation was made
to the complete satisfaction of the authorities.
