Good old days return
with Mrs. A.D. Kirwan

By LEO NA RD KELSAY
Kernel Staff Writer

The good old days, when all UK
students were invited to afternoon
parties at the University president‘s
mansion, returned to Kirwan Tower
Thursday night.

A medium-sized, gray-haired
woman with a lightly hoarse voice, a
huge pin of peanuts and a ready wit
swept onto the top floor of Kirwan
Tower.

She gazed contentedly at the 50-
odd students making a beeline for
free cider and flipped her wrist.
“Keep your seats," she said, “keep
your seats." She snagged a glass of
cider and a doughnut and settled
down in a chair.

Mrs. A. D. Kirwan was back in
town. The wife of the man who was
UK president from 1968-69, Kirwan
visited Kirwan Tower to “keep in
touch.

“My husband was very proud of
this dorm." she said. “When the two
towers were dedicated, Sarah
Blanding (namesake of Blanding
Tower) turned to him and said.
“You know, Ah, what they‘re calling
these dorms? Bonnie and Clyde.“
Kirwan delivered the line with the
polish of a line comedian. Everyone
laughed.

“But really,“ she said, “l‘m sorry
UK lost (to Mississippi State). You
know, my husband was once the
football coach here. We didn‘t win
too many games, but you see what
happened to him. So, (UK football
coach Fran) Curci has a
future . . .“she paused”. . . whether
it’s in football or not."

Kirwan outlined her husband‘s
career.

"Well. he went to school here. He
was captain of the football team his
freshman year and again his senior
year. He went to law school, but the
law wasn’t for him. He went to
graduate school and became a
historia n»~a Southern historian—«but
they kept asking him to become
dean of this and dean of that.

"They finally asked him to
become president when they were
having trouble getting one to replace
Dr. (John) Oswald. He was replaced
as interim president by Dr. t Otis)

and he was writing a biography of
Henry Clay when he died.”

The students grew quiet as she
described her husbar 1’s ac-
complishments.

“There was some slight difficulty
with relationships between the
University and the city then,” she
said. “Ab was well-known from
football and we tried to repair that
problem. We opened up the gates to
Maxwell Place (president’s man-
sion) and let the students walk
through.

“On Sunday afternoons, we held
teas at Maxwell Place and invited
all the students to come. They could
talk to Ab and the faculty there. We
just tried to entertain both the
faculty and students and the
townspeqile."

Even she played her part in this
attempt to relax relationships, Kir-
wan said. “I rode around on the
buses, listening to what students had
to say.“

Referring to the demonstrations
on campus when her husband was
president, Kirwan said, “I think all
the changes have been for the better.
Each generation of college students
has improved.

“There was one time when things
were a little off. though. We had had
a group of students who were upset.
sleeping on the steps of our home. I
was a little worried then. . . “
another long pause. . . that they
might get cold. i wanted to take
them blankets. But things are better
now, each generation gets better.“

Somebody popped a cork and she
said, "That sounds good, let me have
some.

“I‘ve talked enough now.“ said
Kirwan. “(l‘lh let you talk to me
just like before. if any of you need
any motherly or grandmotherly
advice. all on me. I‘ll do anything to
help.“

The good old days got a standing
ovation.

To a UK law professor...
Supreme Court is awe-inspiring

By STEVE BALLINGER
Copy Editor

For an American trial lawyer,
representing a client before the
highest court in the land is the
highest level at which his skills can
be practiced. A UK law professor
had that opportunity last week.

“There‘s a sense of awe and of
tradition." said professor Robert G.
Schwemm of his experience as an
attorney before the Supreme Court
last Wednesday.

Schwemm was a member of a
team of attorneys who argued that
zoning patterns in the Chicago
suburb of Arlington Heights were
racially discriminatory. The court’s
decision, which could come early
next year. could have a broad
impact on suburban housing prac-
tices that allegedly exclude minor-
ities and the poor.

Schwemm. who had represented
the plaintiffs in the case‘s early
trials, was impressed with the
contrast between the court‘s atmos
phere and the manner in which
decisions are reached.

“It‘s a majestic courtroom.“ he
said. describing the marble pillars,
ornate draperies and formal pro—
nouncements within the temple—like
building. Arguing a case in such a
setting, he said. “is almost like a
performance."

The formation of verdicts, though,
is not so divine, Schwemm said.
"These are men, they are people.
They get in a room. (after argu-
ments are hear), they try to
convince each other. They're also
just men a president appointed."

Under appeal is a 1975 decision by
the 7th US. Circuit Court of Appeals
in Chicago which would compel the
Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights
to rezone to permit federally-
subsidized low income apartment
housing.

The plaintiff, Metropolitan Hous-
ing Development Corp., argued that
the community has adopted zoning
so exclusive in nature that racism
can be the only motive.

An attorney for Arlington Heights
contended that the community can-
not be forced to rezone unless racial
exclusion can be shown to have a
purely racist motive.

A town of about 71,000 people and
one of the nation’s fastest-growing
communities, according to
Schwemm, Arlington Heights has
only 27 black residents. His client
contends that there is-an urgent need
for low-income, multi-family hous-
ing. The Metropolitan Housing
Corp., Schwemm said, was certain
to rent such housing to minorities
and the poor if allowed to construct
apartments.

The case has incited a much
greater furor in Arlington Heights
than in other areas of controversy
over common zoning disagree—
ments, Schwemm said. First pro-
posed in 1971, the zoning hearing was
held in a high school gymnasium to
accommodate the “formations of
homeowners groups” that wanted to
attend. A petition opposing the pro-
ject was signed by 3,000 persons, he
said.

Schwemm is convinced that op
position to the construction of low-
income housing in Arlington is
motivated primarily by racism. Not
only was the construction design
uncontested in court, a common
practice in zoning cases, the plain-
tiffs were able to prove that the
developments would show a finan-
cial gain to the community, he said.

Plans for the development call for
the construction of townhouses, and
not “poorly constructed ten-story
apartment complexes," Schwemm
said. If national norms were present
in a city of Arlington‘s size and
position, Schwemm’s side argued

21

before the Court, Arlington would
have 3.200 black residents who could
afford to buy present housing.
instead of 27.

A graduate of Amherst (1967) and
cum laude from the Harvard Law
School (1970), Schwemm did exten-
sive work as a trial lawyer in
Chicago before coming to UK last
fall.

He described the half-hour given
to each side in his case as a session
of “give and take" between the
lawyer and the justices. “They do
interrupt you constantly. they do
pressure you...’I‘he justice most in
favor of our case (whom he declined
to identity) was the. one who asked
the toughest questions." to bring out

all points of argument. he said.

Schwemm was uncertain which
side would win the case when the
Court‘s verdict was announced. ”I
can‘t tell which way the votes are
going to go in our case.,.l do believe
there will be at least one dissenting
vote if we lose.“ he said

He was equally cautious in giving
an opinion of the Court's perfor-
mance. With a case awaiting deci—
sion, Schwemm also preferred not to
comment on whether the Court is
becoming more liberal or conser-
vative. Though the Court might rule
that a new trial should be held.
Schwemm said. he would prefer a
decision for either side, “so that we
can stand or fall on our own merits.“

Still a vital service, says Med center official

By JUDlTll FERRli‘iLL
Kernel Reporter

The first operation performed at
the UK Medical Center in April, 1963
was a therapeutic abortion on a
woman who had cancer of the
uterus. Dr. Philip Crossen. then
acting director of the Obstetrics-
Gynecology department was the
surgeon.

Dr. John Greene, chairman of the
OB-GYN department since 1963,
said he believes that abortions are
still a necessary and vital service for
the physical health and emotional
well-being of certain women.

“Both the UK Health Service and
Planned Parenthood refer women
seeking abortions to Crossen, be-
cause of his competent out-patient
abortion procedure for women 10-12
weeks pregnant," Greene said.

The majority of pregnancies term-
inated at the Med Center are for
therapeutic reasons, usually due to

cancer of the patient. Although
facilities are not available to operate
an abortion clinic at the Med Center.
some abortions are performed for
women who would suffer severe
emotional reaction to an unwanted
child.

Greene said “Because of the
availability of information to the
public through various educational
outlets. the number of problem
pregnancies has been greatly re-
duced. Eighty per cent of all
abortions performed are in the first
trimester (first three months of
pregnancy) because women are
more knowledgeable about the op
tions available to them."

Second trimester procedures are
controversial, because the fetus is a
formed human being that breathes,
Greene said. Certain tests for ge-
netic defects cannot be done until the
second trimester of a pregnancy.

Improved [IS-Cuban relations were set back
recently when Fidel Castro renounced an
agreement between the two countries to control
airline hijacking.

Castro was distraught after an eiplosion killed
78 persons aboard a Cuban aircraft. The Cuban
premier charged the US. Central Intelligence
Agency with complicity in the incident.

CIA officials and Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger categorically denied any CIA in-
volvement with the airline crash. And Castro
cited no evidence of CIA involvement. But, in
view of recent revelations about the agency-—
among them a plot to kill Castro—the Cuban
premier has no reason to trust US. government
agencies.

The hijacking agreement was signed in 1973
after a rash of US. commercial airline piracies,
which landed in Cuba. Since the agreement,
which provides for mutual punishment and ex-
tradition of hijackers, was signed, no US.
commercial planes have been seized.

It ‘s indicative of the relations between the two
nations that former President Richard Nixon
did not pursue detente with Cuba until bloody

airline hijackings forced it. Since that time. the
US. govemment has done nothing substantive to
normalize U.S.-Cuban relations.

Ironically, the prospects for improved
relations between the US. and Cuba have
dimmed on the same note they began—the
hijacking agreement.

Actually, the deterioration in the relations has
been developing for about a year. The key event
was when the Cubans intervened in Angola.
disrupting U.S. involvement there. And the
Cubans have supported independence move-
ments in Puerto Rico— a move the US. considers
an intrusion into its affairs.

As a result of these activities, Kissinger has
adopted a policy of ignoring the island off
Florida’s coast. And Castro’s unsubstantiated
charges against the CIA haven’t aided relations,
either.

Since Kissinger became Mr. Foreign Affairs,
he has specialized in group negotiations between
nations in conflict, as most recently evidenced in
Southern Africa. It says something about
Kissinger’s priorities when he intervenes in
other countries but makes no effort to normalize
relations with a neighboring nation.

Mondale enhances ticket

Those who saw the historic vice presidential
debate Friday night should have a clear
knowledge of the most competent man to hold
the nation‘s second highest office.

Sen. Walter Mondale (D-Minn.) clearly
overshadowed his opponent, Sen. Robert Dole
tit-Kan. i. Mondale and Dole, debating
economic. foreign, defense and general issues
for 75 minutes, proved more interesting than the
two proceeding Ford-Carter debates.

Four college debate coaches. judging for the
.ksstx'iated Press, declared a unanimous victory
for Mondale. Dole was clearly the loser as he
iistd his television time foolishly. attacking
Mondale personally and joking with the viewing
audience.

Mondale wisely avoided playing Dole‘s game
until late in the debate when he remarked, “My
opponent has richly earned his reputation as a
hatchet man.“

Mondale stressed the theme of the
Democratic ticket— jobs for all Americans——
while Dole predicted a haphazard. spendthrift
administration under Carter and Mondale. Dole
said Mondale was the most liberal senator in
Congress, voting for any bill, except defense,
regardless of cost.

The two vice presidential candidates
responded to the news panel’s questions more
directly than did Carter and Ford in earlier
debates. The 75-minute version (the presidential
debates last 90 minutes) kept the debates from
lagging.

Dole did little to benefit his ticket; but Mon-
dale, by responding clearly and concisely,
enhanced the Democrat‘s chances.

Since three of the la st five vice presidents have
ascended to the presidency, it’s some comfort
that one of the two vice presidential candidates
exhibits the ability to handle the position.

The future of our species depends
on winning liberty and democracy
from the men of power and wealth
who would subvert these rights. One
of the first steps in this process is
developing a sense of solidarity
among the oppressed. We need to
support each other, not fight over
scraps.

The student press is certainly in
the camp of the oppressed, as the
recent treatment of Kernel pho-
tographer Charles Spinelli by the
Metro Police proves. That‘s why I
hate to attack a Kernel editorial.
It’s a hell of an uncomfortable thing

Look, folks, it‘s OK to support one
candidate or another. But the Ker-
nel‘s stance only reflects the lack of
democracy in American politics. It’s
“discriminatory and patently un-

saying basically what the election
boards say—that only well-funded
liberals (Carter, McCarthy) or
moderate conservatives tFord) can
belegitimate candidates. But isn’t it
obvious from the high percentage of
nonvoters this year that millions of
Americans are planning to “vote
with their feet" against this whole
rigged game? Isn‘t it obvious that
Tweedledum and Tweedledee just
won’t do anymore?

It just isn‘t democracy when the
media, election boards or anyone
else singles out one “third-party“
candidate as legitimate (the most
status-quo oriented one of the lot, of
course). Certainly McCarthy de-

Camejo had made 26 state ballots,
filed for five more and been ruled off
about five others on rather shaky
legal ground. This campaign has
seen over a dozen lawsuits, frequent-
ly filed together with Anderson,
McCarthy and other candidates.
And virtually every state has re-
quired tens of thousands of signa-
tures on nominating petitions.

Camejo is suing the Federal
Communications Commission and
the League of Women voters for
equal debate time—just like Mccar-
thy. And, as a leader of the Berkeley
antiwar movement (“before it be-
came vogue") and other struggles
for social change since 1960, he could
be said to have had a long public
political career. Finally, as the FBI
has recently and reluctantly testi-
fied, he has never done anything
indictable in the 15 years or so
they've been watching him. In short,
the McCarthy campaign is not
unique.

I agree with the Kernel that “to
keep an experienced and sincere
candidate out of the running just
doesn‘t make sense." But experi-
ence and honesty are found in more
candidates than just Eugene Mc-
Carthy.

This is disturbing. The news
media have not only failed to
accurately portray McCarthy‘s can—
didacy. they have almost totally
ignored it. They have failed to relay
crucial information to the American
electorate. They have, in millions of
cases. simply denied Americans the
right to know a major presidential
candidate even exists.

It is a question of journalistic
priorties. journalistic inadequacies.
It is a question of fairness.

McCarthy is the major independ-
ent candidate of 1976. Even with
almost no media coverage. McCar-

per cent of the vote in November.
ITime~Yankelovich Poll. Aug. 20-24.
1976).

Have the news media given the
man his fair share of coverage? By
the only standard available—no.

George Wallace was the major
independent candidate in the 1968
presidential election. He captured 14
per cent of the vote. McCarthy is
expected to claim 12 per cent. They
were both challenging the Demo-
cratic-Republican lock on Washing-
fun.

In terms of both the magnitude of
the campaigns and the situations of
the candidacies. the two bids for the
White House are comparable. The
media attention focused on these two
candidacies should also be compar-
able.

They are not.

The New York Times featured
Wallace in 63 articles during the first
six months of 1968. Through these
some months in 1976 they featured
McCarthy in six.

 

The Christian Science Monitor
featured Wallace in 27 articles
during the first six months of 1968.
Through these same months in 1976
they featured McCarthy in just
ones-and that was a letter to the
editor protesting McCarthy's incred-
ible lack of coverage.

Does Candidate McCarthy de-
serve no more than 10 per cent the
media attention once directed to-
wards Candidate Wallace? Or no
more than 2 per cent the coverage of
Candidate Carter?

There is a terrible imbalance
here. And considering that Eugene
McCarthy is the only realistic
alternative to the Carter-Ford en-
tity. it is an intolerable imbalance.

By the only standard availabkL»
Wallace‘s coverage in 1968a—it must
be judged that the New York Times
and the Christian Science Monitor
have grossly under-publicized Mc-
Carthy in 1976.

They are not alone.

Most other newspapers have com-
mitted similar crimes against Mc-
Carthy's candidacy.

Through the first six months of
1976 the Los Angeles Times. Chicago
Tribune and Washington Post have
together averaged one article a
month on McCarthy. The Tribune
and the Post went three of these
months without a single article on
McCarthy. The Los Angeles Times
went four.

Charles 8. Seth. Washington Post
columnist. discussed this failure of
the media: “Putting aside the

question of whether McCarthy‘s
name making the Ohio ballot des
manded a news story, the fact is that
the Post has been less than generous
in its coverage of his candidacy.
Clippings in the Post’s library show
that, except for brief coverage of
McCarthy’s short political flirtation
with Sen. Charles McC. Mathias of
Maryland and his selection of Wil-
liam Clay Ford as his running-mate
«and Ford‘s withdrawal a week
later—McCarthy has received prac-
tically no attention from the Post
since the first of the year.

“Column upon column for The
Sting. Almost zero space for the
candidacy of a man who not many
years ago held the attention of a
nation. As I said, this is an imperfect
business." (Washington Post, April
16, 1976).

The Washington Post thanked
their columnist for his penetrating
observation and then absolutely
igfiored McCarthy’s candidacy for
the next two months.

National magazines have also
omitted McCarthy from their list of
"news." Through the first eight
months of this year, McCarthy was
featured in just seven of their
articles. Wallace, in his comparable
campaign, was featured in 43 arti-
cles by August, 1968.

Network newscasts are currently
unmatched in their determination to
ignore McCarthy. Their idea of
Equal Time is unlimited coverage
of Democratic and Republican can-
didates. unlimited absence of cover-

age of all other alternatives.

Certainly, the news media are not
required to give independent can-
didates like McCarthy the coverage
of a Carter or Ford. But, just the
same, they should recognize a real
obligation to diminish the gulf in
coverage.

Such coverage ratios cannot be in
the best interest of democracy.
Freedom of choice, freedom to know
the choices is essential.

The pathetic media coverage of
Eugene McCarthy has both denied
voters the opportunity to assess the
man and has created the impression
that McCarthy’s is not a serious
effort. We have come to expect_a
serious candidate to be afforded
serious media coverage: the news
media have ignored McCarthy,
therefore he is not a serious candi-
date. This is the logic of our times.

And this is democracy in our
times: we are allowed to choose
between dozens of candidates, we
reason from the media coverage of
these candidates that only two are
serious—one democrat and one Re-
publican, we believe, and then we
vote for the lesser of these twin
evils.

This year, the media have offered
the country to Carter or Ford. They
tell us next to nothing of the
alternatives.

And our freedom of choice is
severely restricted.

China

Underground nuclear bomb exploded...

TOKYO (AP) -— China
successfully exploded an
underground nuclear device
Sunday, the official Chinese
news agency Hsinhua said.
Hsinhua credited decisions
made by the Communist
party central committee,
headed by Premier Hua Kuo-
feng, for the success.

The agency did not give any
details of the blast, China's
19th since October 1964.

China’s last nuclear test on
Sept. 26 was conducted above
ground and produced
radioactive fallout that went
halfway around the world.

The Environmental
Protection Agency in
Washington said air
monitoring stations in
Pennsylvania, New York,
Connecticut and Massa~
chusetts detected radioactive
fallout from that atmospheric
test. But the amounts of
fallout were too small to pose
a threat to public health. the
EPA said.

As in announcements of
past tests. Hsinhua said
Sunday’s explosion was con-
ducted for defensive purposes
and China would not be the
first to use nuclear weapons.

China has conducted

“limited“ nuclear tests in
order to break the “nuclear
monopoly" by the United
States and the Soviet Union.
the agency added in a
broadcast monitored in
Tokyo.

...as Hua takes control

HONG KONG iAPi — Foreign officials coming out of
China said Sunday they saw wall posters in Shanghai
depicting the hanging in effigy of Mao Tse-tung's widow
and others showing one of the den’ionstrations that have
been reported in several Chinese cities since Mao‘s

death.

Prime Minister Michael Somare of Papua New
Guinea, the first foreign government chief to visit (‘hina
since Mao died Sept. 9, also said at a news conference
that Premier Hua Kuo-feng told him he had been chosen
to succeed Mao as chairman of the Chinese Communist

party.

Members of Soniare's delegation said that along with
the posters of Chiang (Thing. Mao's liryearold wrdow.
were pictures of three other top Chinese radical leaders
with crossmarks painted over them.

The posters were understood to be signs of disapproval
rather than an indication of the fate of the four in the
power struggle sweeping China.

State officials discouraged

by low inoculation turn-out

(AP) — Jefferson County
health officials expressed
discouragement Sunday that
only 50 per cent of the
projected number of people
showed up to receive their
swine flu inoculations in the
Louisville metropolitan area
during the first two days of
the vaccination program.

Mrs. Virginia Durrett. a
spokesman for the city-
county health department.
said nearly 13,000 elderly and
chronically ill persons turned
out Sunday at the 19 clinics
set up at schools and com—
munity centers.

She said that, added to the
number of vaccinations given
Saturday, a total of nearly

29,500 received flu shots over
the twoday period.

“So far. we've only gotten
about St) per cent of what we
had hoped for," she said.
“Things have been going
slowly and smoothly-but
there are not near as many
people as we hoped."

Mrs. Durrett said the early
results were “highly
discouraging. The news from
other parts of the country last
week was discouraging. The
publicity the program is
getting is working against
us.

Some states suspended
their inoculation programs
temporarily last week when
over 30 persons died after

receiving flu shots--~although
most If them died of heart
attacks.

However. the federal
(‘entcr for Disease Control in
Atlanta, Ga. concluded that
the deaths were unrelated to
the flu vaccine.

Elsewhere in Kentucky, the
Marshall
Department Sunday post-
poned for at least it) days
their inoculation program,
Three clinics were scheduled
to open Monday and Tuesday
in Marshall County.

County Judge Mike Miller
said the delay will allow local
officials to review the
program elsewhere in the
state with the intent of in-
suring a better local turnout.
