A Solution Is Sought To Rid Pollution

Created By University Heating Plants
By DOTTIE BEAN

Kernel Staff Writer
With increasing national and
state focus being centered on
pollution, the University has become one of the major sources
for initiating studies throughout
the state to solve some of the
major problems.
As a matter of course, it has
now turned its attention inward
to discover that the University
itself may be causing an air pollution problem in Lexington.
The problem stems from it
three steam plants, powered primarily by use of gas and coal
heating. It is multiplied by the
increasing number of buildings
to heat, hot water units to operate and the amount of heat to

be provided for various kitchens
and other facilities.
Jim Wessels, director of the
UK Physical Plant Division,
maintains that the University
recognizes its pollution problems
and is now studying the alternatives for solving them.
The main obstacles to finding
a clear-cu- t
solution to the problems, according to Wessels, seem
to be the future heating needs of
the University, availability of
money and the type of fuel to
use for future heating systems.
The three heating systems now
used are located in the Medical
Center, the Service Building and
the Rey nolds Building.
Wessels said that the boilers
at the Medical Center would

create no problems. Installed in
1900, they are considered modern
and pass all air pollution requirements according to particle
emission tests run by the College
of Engineering.
The problem then narrows to
the boilers located in the Central
plant and the Reynolds plant.
Roth employ primarily coal boilers and do not meet all pollution
standards.
The Central plant, according
to Wessels, uses six boilers. Of
the four coal boilers, installed in
1937, two are beyond repair and
two are considered "borderline"
cases. The remaining two, both
gas boilers installed in 1950, pass

Bob, a Louisville native like
his
wife, was prepared to start work for the state
when the job temporarily fell
through, leaving the couple without an income.
Ann, w!k in previous summers had worked as teacher, typist, and waitress, has not been
able to find a job this year.
She attributed the bad employment conditions, in pait, to a
general downturn in the national
economy.
Ann said the Louisville Unemployment Office has been able
to find jobs for only 20 percent

of the student applicants this
summer compared to a normal
of about GO percent.
Bob, who promises that the

when he goes to work, offers to

he waits for a job.

complaints about the way the
food stamp program is administered? Not at all. Bob called the
food stamp personnel friendly,
helpful and respectful.
Bob said he had never felt
humiliated because he used food
stamps. But he did admit, "I was
a little embarrassed the first time
I used them at the store."
For the Browns, the stamps
are only a temporary means of
eating helthful foods. They foresee a brighter future with filet
mignon occasionally, birthday
presents always, and a steady
income to provide a few luxuries.
Ann said, "The financial position of the Browns certainly
had better improve in the future
because we are running out of
toilet paper." (Food stamps cannot be used to purchase paper
products.)
If you are a Hungary student,
you might take a tip from the
Browns and call the Public Assistance office.

Much of the look is devoted to
Kentucky's social and environmental problems. This coverage is
appropriate, because those problems directly or indirectly affect
every student. It was an innovative idea to include the environment in which the university is
forced to function.
But in all fairness, Kentucky's
other face should also have been
presented. The state is not standing still in all areas. Efforts are being made, for instance, to curb air
and water pollution and to alleviate many social ills. But no one
has a quick, complete answer to

these problems.

Most of the book, however, consists of Miss Soteriou's personal
views on politics and social ills.
The book was "her opinion".
She had the right as an editor to

Concerned Over Code
Whereas: The Student Mobilization Committee is one of the larger and more
active student organizations on campus
and therefore especially representative of
a large number of students and
Whereas: as a student organization and
by the very nature of our activities, we
are especially concerned over the efforts
to alter the Student Code by right wing
pressure groups and various influential
citizens, we submit the following:
1. We question the membership of
HPCV and the actual number of UK
students either involved with or in direct
support of the organization. We also
question its representation of the students
and their desires, as related to the Student Code.
2. We question their source of advertising funds. Tom Kring, of Frankfort,
and a sustaining member of HPCV has
told the Courier-Journthat the space in
a local paper was "donated" by the
newspaper company itself. This is a particularly questionable practice and should
be brought to the attention of the academic community. We contend that it
is yet another attempt by Fred Wachs
and his wealthy cohorts, some of whom
sit on the Board of Trustees, to not only

control and manipulate public sentiment,
but to intimidate members of the University community. Mr.Wachs himself has
proved to be nothing more than a purveyor
of fear and misrepresentation since the
May incidents on our campus. Instead
of acting in a responsible journalistic
manner and conscientiously seeking out
the deep seated ills and frustrations that
give rise to campus disorders, he has
instead been satisfied to sit back and
vent his bitterness on the pages of his
newspaper. If Mr. Wachs is in fact so
truly concerned about University affairs,
we suggest that he enroll as a student
and voice his concerns in the proper
manner.
3. We question HPCV's support of
"nonarbirtary" action when the very
things they are advocating are not only
threatening to the constitutional rights
of all students but certainly unacceptable
to the great majority of them. Specifically,
we refer to their terming judicial board
rulings to be "too lenient" and their
advocation of the abolition of the
as it is presently constituted. Secondly, they are proposing disciplinary
punishment of a student before his case
is even ajudicated by the only body empowered to determine guilt or innocence,
Further, by proposing
namely the

to dismantel the
they hope to
replace it with a group of local citizens,
faculty members, and a few students,
thereby abolishing the trial by peers process, a right all citizens enjoy. How arbitrary can you get?
4. In conclusion, and not in threatening terms, we urge the Board of Trustees
to act in a responsible, cautious manner
when considering revisions to the Student
Code and to withstand the angry cries of
extremists for vindication on our campus.
If these individuals' influence pervade in.
campus decision making then we predict
not only the further alienation of larger
numbers of students, but also the increasing number of confrontations and disorders. The University community is a
particularly intelligent, sophisticated
community and will not stand
arbitrary restrictions of its activities. It is
truly a bleak day if we have lost the power
to govern our own selves, without the interference of outside influences. If the
board adopts those recommendations advanced by HPCV, we in SMC shun all
responsibility for the consequences.
