'Gaod' chance

landscape

degree
to be OK'd

By STEWART TRISLER
Kernel Staff Writer

The Black Student Union tBSL’i
Thursday was awarded increased office
space and office equipment.

Jack Hall. dean of students. allotted BSU
space in Room 208. Student Center. for the
remainder of this semester and in rooms
102 and 103A of Alumni Gym. effective
June 1.

"I FEEL THAT Dean Hall did supply us
adequately.” said Robert Pass. BSL‘
preSIdent. "We will have increased space.
desks. chairs and a filing cabinet."

The Black Student Union. formerly
housed in Alumni Gym with most other
student organizations. first asked Hall for
increased space in November.

Pass and Mike Wilson. former SG
director of student affairs. met with Hall
February 26 and requested a decision on
allocation of space be made by March 8.
(Black Student Union has problems with
unanswered office space request.” Febru—
ary 28’.

PASS SAID the June 1 move to Alumni
Gym would make it more difficult for BSL’
to attract students because the office
would be harder to locate. "However. I‘m
satisfied W'llh the deiciSion and I feel that
Hall understood what we needed."

The possmility of a bachelor of science
degree in landscape architecture appears
to be quite good. according to Horst
Schach. assistant professor of horticul~
ture. who said he's “counting on it being
approved" by the Council on Public Higher
Education.

Schach. who spearheaded efforts to
draw up such a program. is confident of
Council approval primarily because the
program would require no additional
funds Actually he. noted the only real
change would occur in realigning the
courses presently offered in landscape
design under the landscape architecture
program. “We‘ve had a great portion of
what‘s involved with it for a number of
years." Schach added. "We just have to
put them tcoursest under one roof."

THE PROGRAM. which will be admini—
stered jointly by the Colleges of Architec-
ture and Agriculture. was okayed by the
Board of Trustees last week. and must now
clear the Council. But lately. there has
been a moratorium on approval of
graduate and professional programs.

However. Dr. Donald Clapp. executive

The rush is on to beat the Spring Break traffic

"Dean Hall‘s decision is definitely an
expression of the University‘s support for
minority affairs. I just wish action could
have been taken sooner. so BSL' could have
gotten maximum use from the office space
this semester.“ said Jim Flegle. president
of Student Government.

"This action resulted from lengthy
discussmn among Wilson. David \lucci

asmstant to the PreSident. said since the
landscape architecture program would be
an undergraduate one. it would probably
remain unaffected by the moratorium.
“There is a need for it." Clapp added. and
the proposal is expected to "make a strong
case" in Frankfort before the Council.
According to Clapp. the proposal will be
forwarded to the Council in the next two or
three days. and most likely come before it
at its April 10 meeting. If approved. the
program would be initiated in the fall
semester. Clapp did not speculate on the
possibility of Council approval.

KENTL'CKY RECENTLY enacted a law
requiring registration of landscape archi-
tects. Schach said. Citing one purpose of
the program, Only those with the proper
education may use that title.

If the proposal is given the go-ahead by
the Council. CK would be the only school in

Oh, oh, planning again

Student Government is planning ahead.

The Student Senate recently approved John Miller
as Student Services Director. Unfortunately. Miller
has no existing program to serve students better.

The idea which spurred Miller‘s appointment was a
proposed book exchange. That sounds familar. and
with good reason. While book exchanges have always
been recognized as good ideas. they have always
failed miserably at UK.

SG should take pains to make sure this one suc-
ceeds. But it is already in the hole.

While Miller attributes the closing of the Student
Services Bookstore to “lack of management,” he
admits he has none.

A book exchange was proposed last semester but
was shelved because of expected student apathy.
What makes this semester any different?

SG has failed to guage the gap between high ideals
and practicality. Hindsight will lead them to Student
Services Inc. This Hedging attempt to corral student
economic power succeeded in loosing $3.000 of SG
funds.

We have yet to hear anything to indicate Miller will
succeed where others have failed.

Ford didn't have a better idea—in fact, it had none

“ASHLVGTON — First they
lured us into the suburbs. next
they cut off our gas. and then we
found out that Ford didn‘t have a
better idea. In fact. neither it nor
Chrysler nor General Motors had
any idea at all. Just hang in
there. ole buddy. and wait for 23-
cents-a-gallon gas to return and
the fins to grow back on the
Cadillacs.

()ne of the most telling points
made by economic historian and
committee assistant counsel
Bradford C. Snell in his sub-
mission of material to the Senate
Antitrust Subcommittee is that
Detroit‘s Big Three haven‘t had a
technologically significant idea
in 40 years. Reo introduced
automatic transmission in 1934;
Packard gave us car air con-
ditioning in 1939; and outfits like
Bendix and Motorola gave us
such things as power brakes and
the alternator.

General Motors were able to
come up with a good, new idea,
they would suppress it. They
have their money invested in the
obsolete techology. Progress for
us means reduced profits for
them.

Thus. while Honda takes an old
idea like the stratified charge
engine—invented in the early
19205~and brings forth an engine
which meets the needs of pure air
standards. what do we get from
General Motors? Major
breakthroughs like bashful
windshield wipers that hide when
they're not in use.

Snell‘s account of General
Motors and the diesel railroad
locomotive is the case study of

ficient and backward technology.

Letters to the Kernel

It is a matter of censorship

“They say I was born in the
land of the free

But the home of the brave is all
I can see.

With your buildings and high-
ways. you cover the land

But freedom‘s a fable where
the conscience is banned."

Those lines are the first verse
from a song which was done a few
years back by a group called The
Hello People. The song. “Going to
Prison”, was mainly concerned
with draft resisters. But when I
saw the headline in Thursday’s
Kernel, “Hall cancels film
festival to avoid legal problems”,
those lines ran through my head.

BECAUSE APPARENTLY
Dean Hall is not willing to give
the University the freedom to
choose which films we are able to
see.

Now I am at a small loss. Like
most people. including, I believe,

its power as the single-largest
freight shipper to make already
electrified American roads

THIS IS WHAT General Motors

did to the New York. New Haven
& Hartford railroad. as Snell

Tells it: “The New Haven's
replacement of its electric

don’t know if I would have seen it
if it was being shown. But when a
few people tell me that as a UK
student. I am not mature enough
to choose what movies I can go
see. I feel they are going a little
too fare.

In fact. no matter what
language Hall chooses to sugar-
coat his statements. it all comes
down to censorship.

AND FOR what reason? The
county attorney had said he
would be at the showing and take
action if he decides the film is
obscene. And rather than having
the University stand up against
the censors and book burners who
feel they have the power over
people‘s morals Hall has chosen
the easy way out-—when
threatened. he backed down.

(As an asidel wonder. since the
SCB said they would check ID‘s

declared bankrupt...“.

Even when an important in-
novation is readily available and
has been mandated by law. the
g. eat corporations may
simply tell the authorities to go
shove it. This has been the ex-
perience that San Diego County
had with its gasoline vapor or-
dinance.

Surprising as it may be to us
laymen, it‘s a fact that the vapors
lost in transferring gasoline from
truck-to-storage tank-to-truck~to-
gas station-to-car constitute a
major source of hydrocarbon air
pollution. By recapturing these
vapors, it appears that the 1976
air-pollution standards may be
met without spending money for
special equipment on our cars.
This might crimp GM‘s strategy
for making money off of un-
necessary air-pollutjon devices,
but the vapor-recapture equip-
ment exists. It is for sale and for
several years has been required
by San Diego law.

NOT THAT THIS law makes
any difference. The oil com-

for this showing. how was Mr
King going to get in? To my
knowlege he is neither a student
or teacher. Was he going to use
his power to force his way in. and
probably without paying?»

But the thing I‘m worried about
is the kind of precedent this will
set. In North Dakota they are
burning books that townspeople
have judged to be unfit for
student, authors like Vonnegut.
Hemmingway and Steinbeck.

AND DEAN HALL. that’s
exactly what you've opened the
door for. With censorship of
films, who knows what will
follow. And as you go from the
office tower in your colorful long-
johns. proclaiming half-truths.

An analysis

(Editor‘s note: This is the second of
four articles to be run one per week
through March and the first week of
April.)

By JOHN JUNOT

No doubt many of my readers are sick of
hearing predictions of revolution. Such
predictions have been many times
recently. and only in the last three years
have they died down. The revolution never
came and the erstwhile revolutionaries
seem to have disappeared. Why would
anyone believe a revolution is coming
now'.’

Well, first my concept and analysis of
the revolutionary process varies greatly
from those pushed by white and black
radicals in the late sixties. For reasons too
lengthy to explain here. I doubt that
blacks. the counterculture, and the poor in
general will play little or no role in making
the revolution until civil disorder—and
even guerilla warfare—is widespread
throughout the rest of society.

ALSO. POLITICAL and economic
conditions were different—even vastly
different five years ago. There was no
apparent energy shortage then. The
Johnson economy. fueled by war, was
prosperous. And under Nixon‘s first ad—
ministration the economy, though not
good, was not that bad, and there was
every reason to believe it would get back
on its feet in a short time. And the
government itself was both legal and
legitimate and seemed to be as struc-
turally sound as ever.

All that has changed in just one year.

The United States has had economic
crises before; it has had periods of in—
competent. ineffective. and corrupt
government before. But it has never had
an economic crisis quite like this one; it
has never had a government quite as
corrupt as this one; and it‘s never had a
period of bad government and bad
economy coincide.

Let's face some hard facts: the economy
is going into a depression. And there is

 

absolutely no reason to believe it will
return to “normal“ very soon. Even the
spokesmen for the administration— the
pollyanna prostitutes —- are beginning to
sound like the bearded white-robed
prophets of doom. Here you have men who
customarily predict a gentle rain before
each thunderstorm, and now they’re
predicting a thunderstorm. The shrewd
should expect the deluge.

AND WHILE this is going on, the federal
government is committing suicide. Im-
peachment will shatter the government,
but how can the Congress possibly avoid
impeaching Nixon'.’

When there is fratricide in the central
government and economic collapse
throughout the society, there exists the
classical revolutionary situation. No
nation in history has suffered a period of
weak government combined with
economic disaster without simultaneously
suffering revolution. or at least a
revolutionary movement with civil

disorder. And there is no reason to believe
the US. unique among nations.

Most people believe this country has
enough resources to maintain everyone at
a certain standard of living—albeit lower
than the past—which would make
revolution unnecessary, as well as buying
time to peacefully and gradually re-adjust
the economy to an energy-short world
through technological innovation. This
belief is based ona fallacious perception of
social wealth tie. that wealth is only so
much oil. or steel or skilled persons).

What people miss is that wealth is ac-
tually the ability to command human
abilities to meet human needs—
organizational wealth. Organizational
wealth determines if and how and when
material wealth can and will be used.

THE PREDOMINANT form of human
organization today is the bureaucracy
particularly the large bureaucracy—up to
the level of the multi-national cartel.
Bureaucracies. by their nature are highly

know how to use only one narrow set of
methods in achieving goals, and are
complicated and complex and therefore
resistant to change. And the bureaucratic
relationship at the individual level is
impersonal, non-intimate, alienating. The
social processes within bureaucracies
tolerate. permit. and reward lieing and
inefficiency.

The massive bureaucracies of the
Western industrial nations are specifically
adapted to—are creatures of— an energy
surplus world, exactly as dinosaurs were
over-adapted to a tropical swamp world.
Like dinosaurs, bureaucracies ability to
adapt to an energy short world is doubtful.
Though the economy will adapt. this very
process of adaption is revolution.

In terms of organizational wealth. the
United States is very poor.

How to appreciate Nixon's predicament

By JOSEPH A. CALIFANO

WASHINGTON—To appreciate the
depth of President Nixon’s personal
predicament, it is essential to under-
stand the Presidential staff system and
the vantage point of Presidents.

Since the time of Franklin D. Roose-
velt. the concept of the White House
staff has been that a President is en-
titled to have a group of people whose
loyalty runs only to him, whose power
derives solely from him (not the Con-
gress or constituent pressure groups
that often vie for the attention of Cabi-
net and agency heads). and who can
be trusted to share the President’s
perception of his interests and carry
out his orders to protect them.

Whether the White House staff is
small as in the days of Mr. Roosevelt
or numbers well over a hundred as in
the days of Mr. Nixon, there will be a
few staff members in daily contact
with the President and totally dedi-
cated to him. Their power comes from
the ability to say with authority, "The
President wants. . . ."

These intimate few do not maintain
the ability to use those three words
with authority unless they are doing
what the President wants and tells
them to do. Without that authority. the
personal and press secretaries, the top
national-security and domestic-affairs
advisers and the chief of staff are use-
less to the President. With more than

2,000 Presidential appointees scattered
in more than 100 departments and
agencies, the President could not run
the Government without a few such
aides.

The White House press corps is the
daily national amplifier of Presidential
statements and positions. Its chief
source is the White House press secre-
tary, and it is inconceivable that any
President will permit his press secre-
tary to make statements—all of which
are on his behalf—without personally
clearing them and, indeed, in critical
situations, approving the precise words

Cabinet officers and agency heads
quickly get a sense of those members
of the White House staff who reflect
the President's orders and desires and
those who do not. While Cabinet offi-
cers will take routine actions on the
request of White House aides, it is rare
to find one who will take any major
action without being certain that it is
the President who issued the order.

As the Congress and the American
people focus on the issue of Presiden-
tial responsibility, they must recognize
that the White House is run by one
man and that all staff members derive
their authority from that man. They
must recognize that like successful
lawyers and businessmen, successful
American politicians—and Presidents
are by electoral definition the most
successful—make their own decisions
and pay close attention to detail.

By this I mean more than “the buck
stops here," or that full responsibility
for the Bay of Pigs rests at the top, or
that Vietnam was Lyndon B. John-
son’s war, not Robert S. McNamara's.
Whether a President has the publicly
seductive style of John F. Kennedy,
the overbearing intensity of Mr.John-
son, or the introverted personality of
Mr. Nixon, he will personally direct
every move on major issues. particu-
larly when those moves can decisively
affect the marrow of his political
career and historical judgments on the
long-term value of that career.

This attention to detail is particular-
ly critical when what is at stake is the
very essence of a man's Presidency. In
this sense, Watergate is to Mr. Nixon
what the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban
missile crisis were to Mr. Kennedy and
the Vietnam war and Great Society
were to Mr. Johnson.

What Watergate and its surrounding
events involve is Mr. Nixon's place in
history, his personal reputation,
whether he will be convicted of a
crime, impeached, or exonerated, re-
membered as the man who opened the
door to China or who headed the most
corrupt Administration in our history.

Even White House aides as trusted as
H. R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlich-
man would not be permitted by the
President to deal on their own in areas
as central to Mr. Nixon's personal and
political life and reputation as those
involved in the present scandals.

If the press is to be criticized in
connection with its reporting of these
scandals. it is not. as Mr. Nixon and
Spiro T. Agnew have suggested, be-
cause it has been careless in printing
unverified charges.

It is, rather, because of its accept-
ance, with so little skepticism. of the
myth that Mr. Nixon is somehow the
uninformed victim of aides and Cabi-
net officers whose political enthusiasm
spilled over into criminality. This myth
defies the reality of Presidential power
and the personal, political and histori-
cal ambition that accompanies it.

We do not have to plow through the
pages of “Six Crises" to know that Mr.
Nixon is most attendant to details that
intimately affect his political career.
One need not work at the White House
to reach that conclusion abOut any
President who served there. One need
only understand human nature, politi-
cians with an eye on the history
books, and fathers concerned about
what their children think of them.

lnfonned with this Presidential per-
spective, perhaps it will be easier for
all of us to appreciate why any Presi-
dent in Mr. Nixon’s position must re-
ject resignation and fight impeachment
as long as he has the physical and
mental strength to do so.

A new scholarship program
for high school seniors has been
developed through funding
from the UK research founda-
tion and the Office of Develop—
ment.

The program. L'K Merit
Scholarships. also received aid
from the offices of undergradu-
ate studies. student financial
aid. admissions and the honors
program works. The program
operates strictly on a merit
basis for the purpose of
undergraduate recruitment.

”THE BASIC GOAL we have
is to keep from losing college—
bound high school seniors «who
are an intellectual resourcei to
another area." said Dr Daniel
R. Reedy. acting dean of
undergraduate studies.

Nineteen scholarships. total-
ing 532.500. were made avail-
able to a group of 32 Kentucky
high school seniors. The sen—
iors. chosen from 60 national
merit semi-finalists and final-
ists. ranked in the 99th percent—
ile nationally on the American
College Test. All the students
scored 30 or above on the ACT

Dr. Reedy explained the
seniors were considered only on
a merit basis: financial needs
and Similar factors were not
taken into consideration.

THE STL'DENTS attended a
formal competition on campus
recently. were interviewed by a
scholarship committee. and
talked to students and faculty
in their proposed major field.

Reedy said he was “sur-
prised at the enthusiastic
response from the students and
faculty" attending the day of
scholarship competition. He
said the seniors were im~
pressed with UK and the
faculty was impressed with the
students.

“We already have a number
of acceptances." Reedy said.

Reedy explained that. al-
though the students have re-
ceived national merit scholar-
ships in addition to the UK
merit scholarships. "a student
may receive a national merit
scholarship and still not get any
money. “ He said national merit
scholarship moneys are given
on a basis of need.

Seniors compete for scholarships

THE L'K MERIT scholar-
ships are divided into six
four-year $1.000 scholarships.
eight one-year $750 scholar-
ships and five one-year $500
scholarships.

"I think it (the scholarship
program ~. is a step in the right
direction." said Reedy. “I hope
it is the kind of project carried
through year after year."
