Lexington firemen remain uncertain
about collective bargaining status

The lexiigton firefighter‘s bid for collective bargaining
remained unresolved Tuesday as Fayette (‘ircuit Judge l.. '1‘.
Grant delayed ruling on an Urban (‘ounty Government suit
against them.

Grant indefinitely delayed a decision on whether to
dissolve a restraining order against the firefighters or to
issue a permanent injunction. The Urban County
Govemment filed suit Aug. 20 to halt a twohour strike by the
firefighteis

'l‘lll-I [KHAN (‘ounty Council, by a vote of 13—1. denied a
request by Firefighter Local 526 for recognition as
baiga'ning agent for firemen.

Also delayed was consideration of a proposal, contained in
the firefighters' answer to the suit, to establish a five-
member citizens‘ panel to determine the question of

The firefighters defense attorney said such a committee
was necessary because unionization is of vital concern to the
public. firemen and government. He said the citizens‘ panel
would provide the public an impartial view as to who is right
in this issue

FIREFIGHTERS ASKED Grant to appoint a committee
consisting if representatives from business. labor. religious
groups. the state Office of the (‘nmmissioner of Labor and
one representative the judge may select.

The proposal calls for the selection of the panel within
three days of the hearing. Fact-finding hearings open to the
public and press would be held 10 days later.

Free market place of ideas essential

The two—week furor over the use of
new textbooks in Charleston. W. \‘a.
has brought basic questions about
religious training and parental
guidance to the forefront again. The
protesting group claims the disputed
books violate their rights to privacy in
raising their children and in retaining
their fundamentalist religious
teachings.

The protest leaders have sought to
ban certain writings by Malcolm X.
Dick Gregory, Eldridge Cleaver, and
even E E. Cummings. These writings
allegedly contain anti-religious and

'Additions'

anti-American excerpts.

The claim that tile use of these
books violates the parents‘ right to
raise their children as they wish is a
flimsy argument. It seems more
likely that it is the rights of their
children which are being violated.
They are being denied the opportunity
to critically examine the ideas of
some important modern writers.

The a$ertion that the use of these
books abuses the right to retain
fundamentalist religious teachings is
also a weak argument. The historic
battle between fundamentalists and

involve a stubborn resistance to

Reader challenges Kernel's A85 editorial

Your editorial on the A818
reorganization (Tues, Sept. 17th)
if not containing some untruths,
is certainly incomplete and
uninformative. It shows a basic
lack of knowledge on the subject.

Item: The School of communi-
cations would not become a
separate College, but would be
joined with the College of Library
Science, to form a College of
Communications and Library
Science.

Item: The faculty of the School
of Communication is on record as

being opposed to the proposal.

This is not the “...mostly
favorable...“ reaction that you
allude to.

Item: The students who stand
to lose the most in the upcoming
shuffle, the 150 graduate students
of the College of Library Science
(an entity ignored in your
editorial,) have had continuous
input into the College position on
the merger. Two students are
voting members of the College
Council. Our views are actively
solicited by our Dean and faculty.

1 submit that you owe the
University community a more

  

complete explanation of a
complex issue. For a starter you
might ask for a little student
input. You might also ask the
School of Communications just
how much of a “professional"
school they consider themselves.

Charles A. Seavey
Graduate Student
College of Library Science

 

Editor's note: The A&S reorgani-
zation proposal offers various
new alignments for the school of
communications. It would not
necessarily be joined with the
College of Library Sciences.

The faculty of the school of
communications is on record as
being opposed to any alignment
with the College of Library
Science. They are on record as
favoring the establishment of a
College of Communications.

The editorial attempted to deal
only with departments and
schools now within A&S, hence
the exclusion of the College of
Library Science.

Parking woes

I am currently enrolled as a
sophomore in the University of
Kentucky's School of Business.
Shortly after my arrival in
Lexington, I discovered that one
can not obtain a parking permit
unless he or she is a junior or
senior. This situation leaves
many sophomores who reside off
campus, including myself, with
somewhat of a problem in
regards to on campus parking. I
feel this is both unfair and
impractical for the second year
student residing off campus.

A second year underclassman
who commutes to the University
by his own private means has
only two opinions in legal
parking. One must either park in
Commonwealth Stadium‘s park-
ing facility and commute to
campus by bus or make use of a
public street. Both of these
solutions propose an incon-
venience to those students
attending noon or early afternoon
classes. Almost all parking
spaces at the Stadium are
occupied by nine in the morning
and the streets near campus are

mostly occupied by cars of
neighborhood apartment and
house owners. Since a full»time
sophomore pays just as much in
tuition and fees as any junior or
senior then that person should
also be entitled to reserved
parking rights. If one can afford
and needs an automobile on
campus. as many do, then he or
she should be able to park close to
the classes they have or place of
business on campus.

Permit plan

Since it is nearly impossible to
obtain a parking permit if you are
a freshmen or sophomore, l felt
the need to write this letter.

From what I understand about
the distribution of parking
permits, juniors and seniors have
first priority and then freshmen
and sophomores who are em-
ployed. By the time these permits
are handed out there are none left
for the rest of the students, if this
is the case, then why are several
rows in the parking lot by the
Shively Sports Center alwavs
vacant“? This area is it2 and ltit

and these stickers are free for the
juniors and seniors that live in
reSIdence halls. I don't under-
stand why a freshman or
sophomore couldn't purchase
one. The l'niversny could place a
five or ten dollar fee on the
permit. then if the student
wanted it badly. he could buy it.

Another good idea might be to
allow juniors and seniors to
obtain their permits on the first.
second. and third days of classes
then after this time anyone could
obtain one. Surely any junior or
senior who hadn‘t obtained a
permit in this period of time
couldn't want one very badly.
This would leave a few permits
for the freshmen and sophomores
who really want one.

Allowing freshmen and sopho-
mores to have access to a permit
would eliminate the campus
police wasting their time and our
money placing tickets on auto-
mobiles without permits. The
number of people who actually
pay for those tickets could be
counted on my left hand.

I believe oncampus parking is
a serious problem at UK and
should be considered by Univer-
sity officials.

built by the capitalists themselves.

THE MOST pressing need today in the
midst of scan'lal after scandal and
widespread disillusionment with the
political system is to completely abandon
he capitalist parties. Progressive and
ievolutionaiy minded people must unite to
htiild a political movement independent of
the capitalist class and its parties which
I an givey owe to and light for the interests
of the working class and vast majority of
he .\iiiei'ican people.
