Escaped prisoners kill
six persons...

By MARY SCHEIER
Associated Press Writer

FALMOUTH. Ky.—This small Kentucky town was talking
murder Tuesday as state and local police questioned two men
charged with killing six persons during a prison escape that
took them about 80 miles from Lexington to the Ohio border.

A Pendleton County Court judge set bond at $250,000 each
for William Sloan, 24, of Louisville, Ky., and Wilmer Scott, 35,
of Chattanooga, Tenn., hours after their capture.

BOTH MEN were charged with wilful murder in the
shooting deaths of three person at a home near Lexington and
three others at Fishers Motel here.

State police said one of the two would be taken to the
Kentucky State Reformatory at LaGrange, once necessary
court orders were obtained.

THE SLAYINGS CAME AFTER the two and a companion
sawed their way out of the Lexington Federal Building
Monday. The third escapee, Roy Collins, 24, of Lima, Ohio,
broke his leg and was captured.

Scott and Sloan ran to a near-by school and forced
Geraldine Ewalt to drive them to her home. Mrs. Ewalt said
the men tied her and three children with cords, took an empty
.22caliber rifle, kitchen knives, $8 in cash, and fled in her

 

/ ...as state officials call

for death penalty

By BOB COOPE R
Associated Press Writer
A random sampling of Kentucky legislators, in the wake of
the murders of six persons in central and northern Kentucky,
reflects strong sentiment for reinstatement of the death
penalty in the state.

“We ought to keep capital punishment for certain specified
crimes, such as kidnaping and multiple murders,” State Sen.
Mike Moloney, D-Lexington, said.

Moloney, who heads the Kentucky Penal Code Study
Commission, said his group will recommend just that to next
January’s session of the General Assembly.

“There’s no doubt that some form of capital punishment
will be passed by the next legislative session" Rep. Phillip E.
King, D-Covington, said.

Sen. Carroll Hubbard, D-Mayfield, said “98 per cent of the
people in Western Kentucky are in favor of reinstating the
death penalty. It’s an overwhelming sentiment.”

Hubbard said a questionaire he issued about possible
legislation showed a 32-0 vote for the death penalty at one
civic club meeting, 52-1 at another and 40-4 at a third.

“I’m hopeful that I can be one of the co-sponsors of such a

Committee

to meet

Thursday

By RON MITCHELL

Kernel Staff Writer

When the advisory committee on
Student Code Revision holds its first
meeting Thursday, it will probably be an
organizational and planning meeting, said
Robert Zumwinkle, vice president for
student affairs and chairman of the
committee.

He added that most of the revisions will
be submitted and studied at later
meetings. He said his office has found no
major problems with the present code
which need revising and most of the major
changes were made last year.

A STUDENT GOVERNMENT
spokesman said the organization has some
recommendations to make but would
rather wait until they are presented to the
code committee before making them
pubhc.

According to the Student Code, the code
committee “shall accept and review
recommendations from students, faculty
and administrators regarding revisions of
the Student Code of Conduct.

THE COMMITTEE SHALL prepare
proposed revisions and forward them to
the President for presentation to the Board
of Trustees for its consideration.”

bill,” Hubbard said.

The code also states that “nothing in-
cluded above (the procedure for revisions)
shall be construed as a limitation upon the
President to propose changes without
reference to the committee.”

UK PRESIDENT Otis Singletary, in a
memorandum to committee members, has
requested that the committee invite
“concerned groups and individuals to
submit proposed Code revisions for 1974-75
to the committee," and take any testimony
that may be needed.

Singletary requested that the com-
mittee’s recommendations be submitted to
him no later than Dec. 17. The committee’s
recommendations will be combined with
the President’s own recommendations,
and forwarded to the Board of Trustees.

THE COMMITTEE CONSISTS of
students, administrators and faculty
selected by Singletary. The committee is
composed of: Zumwinkle, chairman; Jack
Hall, dean of students; John Darsie,
University legal counsel; Dr. Paul Sears,
chemistry professor and faculty trustee;

Fruitful conclusion
of Davis search?

Dr. Wayne Davis, UK biology professor and organizer of
Free US pornography class, complained Tuesday he was
having trouble lining up lecturers to speak against porno.

Well. Dr. Davis, your search may have come to a fruitful
conclusion.

Nelson County Judge James A. Sutherland, also a
member of the UK Board of Trustees, acted upon the
recommendation of a Catholic parish council and moved to
rid his county of “smut.”

Can anyone better argue the “evils” of pornography? We

think not.
Since the two gentlemen have not as yet debated, we will

take this opportunity to match their respective arguments,
perhaps raising enough questions that the two can debate
the question before a class.

Judge Sutherland, in a story appearing in the Friday
Louisville Courier-Journal “let it be known that Nelson
County’s citizens and officials don’t go for pictures of naked
women.” If this is so, why did the story also report
magazine dealers “hated to quit offering what they termed
‘a quick-selling item’?” Just what percentage of Nelson
Countians are against the sale of magazines such as
Playboy and Oui?

After talkitg to a young reader, Sutherland said, “We
take a dim view of this literature because of the effect it has
on our young people.” Yet Davis, in search of proof of that
very contention, finds data lacking that would support
Sutherland‘s claim.

Davis contacted Dr. Cornelia Wilbur concerning the
feasibility of excluding only children from pornography
traffic, only to find that Dr. Wilbur opposed such
limitations.

“We‘d like to get back to the wholesome, good things this
country was built on,” Sutherland said, while those op-
posing his “good” intentions point to a loss of freedom of
speech and press as a by-product of such censorship.

It might be interesting for Judge Sutherland to appear
with Dr. Davis ata future Free U class to present his views.
To be sure, Sutherland will face opposition, but perhaps he
and the class can learn something about the feelings of the
other side. This debate would be in keeping with the spirit of
“good things“ in American for which Sutherland calls.

 

 

 

 

 

Letters

 

 

Cartoon refreshing

In response to the letter submitted by
Beth Ann Jewell in the Oct. 1, 1973 KER-
NEL.

In reference to ‘The Pertwillaby
Papers‘. I must disagree with you. It was
referred to as ‘boring and a childish piece
of literature for a college newspaper.’ I do
not find it boring and find the childish
quality rather refreshing. Just because we
are college students, doesn‘t mean
everything we do or read must be ex-
clusively adult in nature. I know from
experience that while we are at the
University we will have times when we
will need to allow ourselves some childish
freedoms. ‘The Pertwillaby Papers' is a
fine example of the ability to admit and
accept that as adults, we do not have to
lose the child that is alive in all of us.

What seems silly and unimaginative to
some, may not seem so to others. In the
reference to ‘Mary Worth’, you failed to
note that it is one of the most popular and
long-running comic strips in the
newspapers. Lance Pertwillaby seems to
be the product of a happy, imaginative
mind as is illustrated in his life of
humorous adventures and mishaps.

I am insulted to be categorized as an
‘unimaginative student’ that can’t get
home to watch the soaps. Soap operas are
a sick illustration of human problems.
‘The Pertwillaby Papers' do not run in any
way parallel to soap operas.

The KERNEL runs enough campus
information for a paper of it’s size. Even in
the largest newspapers, you will find many
other things besides news.

The public housing-urban renewal-community
development-city planning industry has a taste
for the bizarre and unworkable that rivals the
worst cotton-head thinking at the Pentagon. The
newest hot fashion in the ongoing drama of
failure in the inner city is a program that goes by
the seductive name of Urban Homestead.

THE URBAN HOMESTEADER is one who is
given an abandoned and dilapidated inner-city
house by the government—in this case, usually
the city government—in return for promising to
fix it up to municipal building code standards
and live in it for a term of years. In Wilmington,
Del, the only city that has gone ahead and tried
out the idea. you must inhabit your rehabilitated
wreck for three years.

Since the larger cities probably contain
several hundred thousand parcels of property
with and without the remains of structures on
them, properties their owners don't think enough
of to pay taxes on, the idea of foreclosing on them
and giving them away seems reasonable. It

seems reasonable, that is, until you know why
their owners abandoned them.

THEY WERE ORPHANED because neither
the land nor what’s sitting on it has any value.
The neighborhoods they’re situated in are too
ugly, too dangerous and too depressing for
anybody with a buck in his pants to stay in.

Rehabilitating a slum building is a very ex-
pensive undertaking. In many instances, it is
literally cheaper to build new. An owner who
spends that kind of money on the property can
never hope to get it back on rentals, so the only
hope is to give it away, perhaps to an urban
homesteader who probably doesn’t have enough
money to fix it up himself or else he'd be building
in the suburbs.

MAYBE THE ANSWER to that is to give the
urban homesteader a subsidy, and voila, yet
another housing program is born. Dreadful as it
was, urban renewal made more sense.

Well, the people who thought up urban
homesteading should be forgiven. In a field of

0 Urban 'cottanheads'

endeavor where nothing seems to work, people
adopt nutty schemes as though they were cancer
cures. Even President Nixon, who you would
suppose might be skeptical about what his crowd
calls social—welfare schemes, has gone and
swallowed this one.

THE PRESIDENT HAS asked Congress to
abandon the public-housing program for
families. Seeing the TV film of the city of St.
Louis blowing up the Pruitt-Igoe high-rise
project led him to conclude that all public-
housing projects are “the present approach can
actually reward dependence and discourage self-
reliance,” and that “instead of treating the root
cause of the problem-the inability to pay for
housing—the government has been attacking the
symptom.” He therefore proposes direct cash
assistance that ”would provide qualifed
recipients with an appropriate housing payment
and would let them choose their own homes on
the private market."

Saigon government attempts
to avoid torture claims

By M.E. BRANAMAN

Since the Saigon government allows no
reports on the conditions and numbers in
the prisons, the citizens interested in the
question must rely on the reports of those
leaving prison or those able to smuggle
information to their families outside.

The Saigon regime has tried to avoid
publicity by denial of claims of torture and
dispursal of prisoners on the famous Con
Son Island, the location of the ‘tiger cages’.
Yet interviews with many released
prisoners, Buddhist and Catholic forces
working with the families of those still
incarcerated demonstrates that the
process of illegal detention is flourishing
with the use of American money.

isolation and beaten before her trial for
breach of peace.

Found guilty without evidence, she was
sent to prison for political reeducation.
Forced to work teaching the young
children there, she discovered that the
inmates of the prison were often only 13
and 14-years-old.

AFTER FOUR MONTHS of physical
abuse, a release was obtained, only to be
revoked and another year in another
center. The student peace movement was
physically destroyed during the years 1969
to 1971, and Dung expected the release of
her fellow students. Yet 150 of those
with whom she shared Saigon’s women’s
prison remain and 34 more have been
arrested since the ceasefire.

 

Editor's note: This is the last in a series
of stories dealing with various facets of life

in Vietnam.

 

THE U.S. appropriation for the police
forces in South Vietnam was 2.7 times as
large as the amount given for education.

Dung, a young woman student,
described her experiences in being twice
imprisoned. Representative of her class in
the Student Union of Saigon University,
she spoke for an end to the fighting in
Vietnam. Picked up on the street one day,
she was left in an interrogation center in

 

Any objective social critic would
question the semantics of the term
“political prisoner” and charge rhetoric
over wrought fact. Many Vietnamese who
spoke for civil liberties in Saigon have left
the prisons firm never knowing why they
spent years waiting for charges and trials
that never came.

The Thieu government states that
“there is no such thing as political
prisoners, only common criminal and
Communist offenders. The case of
Madame Ngo Ba Thanh contradicts this
claim.

MADAME THANH, a professor of law in
Saigon, was a Buddhist, a member of the
Hoi Phu Nu doi quyen song, the women for
a right to live. A supporter of human
rights, she often stood with the families of
prisoners to protest the conditions of those
incarcerated. By standing in frontof the
National Asssembly when Thieu ran
unopposed for the presidency (having

imprisoned his opposition), Madame
Thanh drew attention to the dictatorial
methods of the regime.

After one year in a detention center she
was prosecuted for forming an illegal
association and circulating pamphlets to
undermine the anticommunist spirit and
the South Vietnamese struggle against the
communist. In 1973 her case suddenly
became a common law crime, “assault on
a judge”.

Five months later the government
claims she is “procommunist” and will be
released directly to the North Vietnamese
in the prisoner exchange. Madame
Thanh‘s opposition has been open and
direct, public gestures in which she spoke

for a return of freedom to the South'

Vietnamese people.

TWO YEARS OF constant im-
prisonment with physical hardship have
reduced her from a brave patriot who
stood in public opposition to a skeletal
woman who is brought to court on a
stretcher each time her crime is redefined.

It is difficult and useless to try to
estimate who actually is a communist in
the prisons of South Vietnam. Seanator
Mau, Madame Thanh’s attorney has tried
for years to obtain the release of 1,600
Buddhists imprisoned in 1966, in the
American Engineered Phoenix Program.
He estimates that 80 per cent of those in
the jails have no ties with the Provisional
Revolutionary Government in the South.

 

“I,

The French called Con Son Island “Ho
Chi Minh University” in the days of the
French Vietminh War. Perhaps Thieu is
creating a new revolutionary force
through repression in the prisons of the
south. Americans concerned with freedom
and dignity should examine our support
through economics of these institution.

 

M.E. Branaman is aUK law

Asia in 1972 and spent time with
people in all areas of war torn

Corso's curse...continued

Dear Mr. Rawlings,

I have enclosed the story you had in the
KEKNEL last Thursday. It includes some
of my comments, so you may not want to
eatyour words. But I’m sure we can find a
copy somewhere that is not marked up.
Would you like ketchup or mustard with it?

You may say that I don’t know what I’m
talking when I say that Lee Corso never
said that “Louisville could stomp UK in
football...“ to use your words.

However I quote Russ Brown, sports
writer for the Courier-Journal, “Although
the Kentucky players seem to be under the
impression that Corso, when he was at
Louisville, boasted U of L could beat

    

GARY RAWLINGS
With no salt

UK...the record shows he didn't 'say that-—
publicly anyway." Brown goes on to quote
Corso‘s answer to a question asked in an
interview on Nov. 11, 1970. The question
concerned an 11th game for U of L the
following season.

The answer was a hesitant suggestion of
a UK-U of L game. Corso went on to say
that the game itself would possibly get
Kentuckians to talk football, rather than
basketball, in football season. And he said
that a loss would be good for UK. using the
experience he had at the University of
Miami when his team beat the University
of Florida. If U of L beat UK, according to
Corso, funds would be rolling in. Anything

to keep U of L from beating UK.

l attended U of L for one semester. and
l‘m from Louisville. lf UK ever does play
U of L. I can‘t lose. But i would be pulling
for UK. Realistically, if the two schools
had played while Corso was still at U of L,
my money would have been on U of L while
my hopes were on UK.

Anyway, Mr. Rawlings, next time you go
out on a limb your story should be a little
shorter, just in case. (Would a little salt
make it taste any better?)

Every time you buy a pack of
cigarettes, the familiar phrase
hits you in the face—“Waming:
the Surgeon General has
determined that cigarette
smoking is dangerous to your
health.”

Researchers on the UK campus
are working to discover why and
how cigarettes are harmful.

THE US. DEPARTMENT of
Agriculture recently renewed a
$61,821 two-year contract with a
UK researcher, Dr. M.I.H.
Aleem, microbiology professor.
This grant will enable him to
continue studying the effects of
tobacco smoke on living
organisms.

Aleem submitted his plan of
research to the Tobacco and
Health Research Institute, a UK
branch. The institute in turn
recommended the proposal to the
Agricultural Research Service, a
federal agency, for approval, and
for negotiation of the contract.

The researcher sends a
progress report twice a year to
the federal government via the
Research Institute. He also sends

LANDIS SAID THE average check is

that the smallest check she has seen was
made out for 49 cents. “I got one written

out for 89 cents last week."

Renewal of research grant on
cigarette 's harmfulness

a report every three months to
the state government, which has
also granted money to Aleem.

“THERE ARE A NUMBER of
reports that cigarettes may be
damaging to the health, so we
were interested in knowing how
harmful the cigarette is and in
identifying the compounds that
cause the harmful effects,"
Aleem said.

“If we find those compounds,
can we remove them to make

cigarettes safer to smoke?" he
said.

In the past, experiments with
tobacco have usually involved
painting smoke condensate on the
backs of mice. This is an un-
natural situation, for no one is
ever exposed to doses of smoke as
potent as the condensates.

ALEEM WANTED to ex-
periment in a more realistic
manner. “We wanted to simulate
the conditions or the puff in-
tervals that people usually
have," he said.

Aleem‘s project centers around
the study of “mitochondria".
These are tiny particles found in

 

the heart and liver which convert
food to energy. The researcher
wanted to know if cigarette
smoking has any effect on the
mitochondrial system.

Aleem found that when toxic
smoke products are applied
directly to the mitochondria, they
cause adverse effects. However,
when a complete organism, such
as a mouse, is fed these toxic
compounds, the mitochondria
were not affected.

ENZYMES, KNOWN AS
hydroxylases, protect the
mitochondria. “Their function is
to de-toxify the toxic products,”
Aleem explained.

When the smoke compounds
are administered to the animals,
their hydroxylases are not im-
paired, but rather increase in
concentration and activity. This
means that a person who smokes
develops a resistance that

protects his mitochondria from
smoke.

Whatever harmful effects
smoking may cause, it does not
affect his energy-converting
mechanisms.

 

  

  

Detention Services

UK students.

entitled to be released if they
meet certain requirements, such
as community ties,” project
director Robert Paddock said.

Community ties for UK
students would be their
enrollment plus residency in the
city, he said.

BEING RELEASED on
recognizance has its benefits.
The arrested individual does not
have to post bond, which in many
cases is expensive. It also
“allows the person to be
presumed innocent until proven
guilty," Paddock said.

The bonding process is a very
complex procedure. If the bond is
set at $1,000, the individual must
pay approximately $120 which he
never gets back regardless of the
outcome of the trial.

“HOW MANY STUDENTS can
afford to lose $120 when they
haven’t even been proven
guilty?" Paddock asked. The
probable answer is not many.

Detention services recommend
release and the judge almost
always recognizes it. The

 

94l Winchester Rd.

organization has recommended
over 600 releases and only 19 have
been turned down.

WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL
wishes to be released on his own
recognizance, he must tell the
deputy jailor on duty to call
Detention Services. They are
open until midnight and the
workers may also be reached at
their homes. The entire operation
does not cost a thing, Paddock
said.

Detention Services have
handled the release of many UK
students since it was formed in
July, 1972. The most prevalent
cases involving students are drug
and alcohol violations.

PADDOCK IS VERY im-
pressed by the students. He said
one student was arrested and his
friends sold a stereo, a cassette
recorder and a guitar to raise the
bail for him. With the help of
Detention Services, their loyal
efforts would not have been
necessary.

In addition to saving the
arrested money, the organization
is also helping the state. Ac-
cording to Detention Services’
monthly report, 50 persons were
released on recognizance. If
these individuals had remained
in jail without paying bond, the
state would have spent $525 in-
stead of none.

With the recognizance ser-
vices, the organization also offers
counseling to people on probation
and those currently in jail.

A plaque in Paddock’s office
might best sum up the work of
Detention Services. It reads “1
get by with a little help from my
friends."
