Collins offers

his story

(Editor‘s note: The following is a
verbatim transcript of Alfred “Sonny"
(‘ollins' remarks concerning his status
in the kidnaping of Luron Eugene
Taylor. The remarks were made to
Kernel Staff Writer Ron Mitchell in a
telephone interview around 11 p.m.
Thursday.)

"I was in bed before 1 am. I didn't stay
that long (as late as 2 am.) at the
dance. It‘s really getting blown out of
proportion. They (Stephens, Bishop and
Channels) were there (my dorm room)
for 1015 minutes. I never thought about
them killing or kidnaping or anything.
It was definitely three guys. Channels
was one of them. I don‘t know anything.
Ireally don’t. I told them (the police)
exactly what happened.

“It‘s no big thing about me being
involved. It seems like people are
taking what I said and blowing it out of
proportion. Ten minutes is all they
stayed when they came by my room.
We just talked about the game, man.
They (policemen) don‘t think I’m the
fourth person being sought in connec-
tion with the kidnaping. They said:
‘Sure. man. we believe you.‘

“I told you what happened. You’re
making it sound like I‘m one of the
worst people in the world. Just stick to
what I said. You guys are the ones who
can clear this thing up.

“I‘m damn upset about it. I could
hardly practice today or anything
because of it. There‘s a lot of pressure
on me. I don’t need stuff like this. I had
people coming up to me all day and
saying things like: ‘Man. you‘re into
this thing really deep."

(Collins wanted to know why people
didn‘t believe his original story about
what happened Saturday night. Collins
was told that people thought it suspic-
ious he would be questioned by police as
late as 11:30 p.m. on Sunday night.)

“That‘s stupid man. They couldn't
get in touch with me. I'm a hard person
to get in touch with. They needed to talk
to me. That‘s serious stuff. My involve-
ment is no big thing. They (police) just
took me down there and asked me what
happened when they came to my room
that night. I told them we just talked
about the game.

"Then the second time I went down
there they just wanted to know what
kind of person Elmo (StephenS) was.
They could have asked 20 other people
on the team about him. but they asked
me because he said he was with me that

night.
"People are just taking it wrong. I got
close to Elmore when he was my

lineman I get to know my linemen. My
little part in this ain‘t nothing. Just let
them know that."

Several contradictions have arisen in the
sequence of events concerning the Oct. 11
kidnaping of Luron Eugene Taylor.

Alfred “Sonny“ Collins has said that he
was visited in his Kirwan I dorm room Oct.
12 at 1 am. by three men later charged
with Taylor‘s abduction. The three were
Elmore Stephens, 23; John Bishop. 22; and
Robert Channels. 22.

Collins said the three visitors discussed
the Auburn football game held that
Saturday afternoon. “They were there for
1015 minutes," Collins said. “We just
talked about the game.“

However. the Lexington Metro Police
blotter states Channels was arrested at
12:55 am. Oct. 12 for possession of
marijuana for use. Channels was released
sometime later on bond.

Several persons attending a dance at the
Complex Commons Saturday night said
Collins was present for a major portion of
the time. The dance. which was sponsored
by the Q Phi Phi little sisters, began at 10
p.m. and ended at 2 am.

()ne fraternity
entered the dance between 11 and 11:30
p.m. “l was at the door and said ‘hello‘
when he (Collins) walked in." he said.
"During the dance I glanced around and
saw him at various times."

One woman attending the dance said
Collins was there when she arrived at
midnight.

The Pearls, the Q Phi Phi little sister
organization, performed a dance routine
from 12:30-12:50a.m. Another woman said
she saw Collins following the performance.
She left the dance at approximately 1:05
am. and talked to Collins when she
returned 15 minutes later, she said.

Several persons said they saw Collins at
the dance between 1:30 and 2 am.

“I was in bed before 1 a.m..“ Collins said.
“I didn't stay that long at the dance.“

According to Tom Caudill. who manned
the Kirwan 1 reception desk from 5 p.m.
Oct. 11 until 8 a.m. Oct. 12, Stephens

member said Collins

entered the dorm at approximately 1 am.
“Stephens had at least one other person
with him,“ Caudill said. “There may have
been someone else with him because I just
saw them walking around the corner.”

Caudill said he never saw Stephens leave
the dorm. Caudill added. however. Ste-
phens could have exited through a side
door. Caudill also said he did not see
Collins enter the dorm Saturday night.

Taylor. 24. was abducted from his home
at 1261 Village Dr. around 11:30 p.m.
Saturday, according to Joe Catt, Metro
Police media liason. An unidentified

said he was with me that night," Collins
said.

Following a major development in the
case Thursday, Metro Police refused to
disclose any additional information on the
kidnaping. Catt said media would be
informed thorugh press releases and
conferences.

Acting Dean of Students Joe Burch said
his office played a “protective role” in
accompanying Collins to police headquar-
ters for interrogation. He added that no
other students have been assisted or
accompanied by personnel in his office to

kidnaper is being sought in connection
with the incident. Catt said

Collins was interrogated by police
Sunday and Monday because his name was
mentioned by Stephens, Catt said.

“The first time I was questioned they
(police) asked what happened that night."
Collins said. “I told them we just talked
about the game. The second time they just
wanted to know what kind of person
Elmore was.“

He said the police could have asked 20
other football players besides himself.
“But they asked me because he (Stephens)

Dr. Frank Downing. athletic academic
advisor. said he had instructed Collins not
to comment to reporters on the case.

“I‘m concerned with him (Sonny) as a
human being and I think he should be very
careful.“ Downing said. “It‘s a legal case
and I wanted him to know he's not talking
with sportswriters. I did it in his best
interests—he‘s got big things ahead of him
and I don‘t want anything to get in his
way.“

Downing said he has not, advised Metro
Police concerning this case.

It’s hard to imagine, but UK
graduate Jill Raymond has now.
been in jail for seven long months.
Her chances of getting out anytime
soon, unless she purges herself of
contempt, are slim to non-existent.

Raymond was jailed by Sixth
District Federal Judge Bernard T.
Moynahan, Jr. for refusing to talk
. to a Lexington federal grand jury
’ about a case it was investigating
concerning then at-large, ”lO-
mostwanted-list” fugitives
Katherine Power and Susan Saxe.

Raymond’s present legal status
involves waiting for the full
Supreme Court to rule on her
request for bail. Earlier bail

 

motions have already been denied
by Associate Justices William 0.
Douglas and Thurgood Marshall.
The odds the Supreme Court will
overturn a decision already made
by two justices are slim. In other
words, it’s doubtful Raymond will
get out of jail before the April
adjournment of the grand jury,
unless she talks.

Raymond’s case and hundreds of
others like it across the country
have pointed out the need to many
US. congresspeople for grand jury

 

reform. Rep. John Conyers (D-
Mich.), along with 23 cosponsors,
has introduced a bill aimed at
improving the grand jury system.
Hearings on the 1975 Grand Jury
Reform Act are scheduled to begin
in November before a House
Judiciary Committee sub-
committee.

Passage of such an act would
stop much of the abuse now
plaguinggrand juries —abuse that
has put people like Jill Raymond in
jail.

First, the bill proposes the
abolition of use immunity and
makes transactional immunity
voluntary. ”Use immunity” means
that whatever a witness says when
testifying can’t be used against
him, but what others say ab0ut his
involvement can. In other words
Fifth Amendment rights are taken
away because the witness is
technically ”immune ” but,
because he can be prosecuted on
the basis of what others say, use
immunity offers him little or no
protection against indictment.
Raymond, and the 5 other wit~
nesses, were granted use im-
munity.

Raymond still jailed, '
Congress pokes. along

Secondly, the bill requires that a
subpoena to appear before the
grand jury must state specifically
why the witness is supposed to
appear, the purpose of the in-
vestigation and what the witness’
rights are as a grand jury witness.
Raymond’s attorneys have based
her appeal on attempting to prove
her testimony was not demanded
by the grand jury with the legal
goal of obtaining an indictment,
but to illegally further an FBI
investigation of Saxe and Power.
The value of requiring intended
purposes of investigations to be
stated clearly on the subpoena is
obvious.

Another section of the reform act
would prevent grand juries from
forcing testimony if it would
violate a witness’ constitutional
rights. For example, Raymond is
being forced to testify about per-
sons she considered friends, which
violates her First Amendment
right to freedom of association.

The bill is very comprehensive
and covers many other aspects of
grand jury procedures which can
be manipulated to thwart con-
stitutional rights. That is where the

 

  

J.

L RAYMOND

 

JIL

bill’s most important thrust lies —
in preventing futureabuse of grand
juries on any level.

Congress moves slowly, so the
bill won’t be of much help in
releasing Raymond from jail. But
one of her prime motives for
refusing to testify has been to
illustrate grand jury abuse so the
public will do something about it.
So the longterm effects of the bill —
which is the first systematic at-
tempt to overhaul the American
grand jury system — could make
her commitment in this case
worthwhile.

 

 

Television gave its "babies"
strong , healthy minds

Television has been around for nearly
three decades now, which is time enough
for an analysis of its truly remarkable
contributions to education.

Unlike the print media, television can
relay events the moment they occur. As
Marshall MacLuhan pointed out, with
television we do not have to wait while the
information is coded into the written word,
printed, read, and uncoded again before

  
 

, go nthony

 

we understand the meaning of the mes-
sage. The flow of information is unen-
cumbered by the need to turn the page or
of following little black lines of compli
cated syntactical structures from left to
right, seeking an obscure meaning.

No, Sir, with television meaning is
immediately discernible as the spoken
word unites with the visual image in the
mind of the viewer. And every increment
of new information is tastefully preluded
by a few minutes of interesting commer-
cials.

The success of TV as an educational aid
is due probably to the fact that information
is disguised as entertainment. One can just
sit in front of the TV and soak in
information like the rays of the sun. TV
has made education fun again. Small
wonder then that on any afternoon in the
Student Center you will find standing room
only in front of the TV screens and
students forsaking turgid textbooks, whose
subjects are needlessly complicated by the
use of academic jargon, to tune into a slice
of life, a segment of the real world in
programs such as ”Days of Our Life” or
”As the World Turns”. These programs
combine educational subject matter with
suspense, acquainting the viewers with
some of the fundamental problems with
which they, as students and adults, must
deal. As for those defeatists and intellec.
‘ual snobs who call these sensitive
contemporary dramas soap operas and
deride them as ’Pap’, they are the same
’boo birds’ who have vulgarly rechristened
the Student Center, "Stupid Center.”

Television also disguises education as a
game. Sure you could pick up the
encyclopaedia or the book of life and read
them cover to cover if you took your life to
do it, but why bother when you could just
watch a lifetime of Hollywood Squares and
other game show programs and get the
same result. The questions are drawn
from the Britannica anyway, so why do it

the hard way, when learning can be fun.

Some critics have said television glori.
fies violence in many shows and may even
create it, but I say that’s the way it is. It’s
a dog-eat-dog world out there, yes San
Francisco really is infested with crimi-
nals, and without Barnaby Jones, Cannon,
Kojack, rookies, police women, Efrem
Zimbalist, Karl Malden and countless
other law enforcers out there, the city
would be ripped apart. Television doesn’t
cause the problem; it doesn’t even
exaggerate the problem. It just gives us
the straight facts—but in an exciting way.

Turning to other examples of TV’s
educational effects, just look at the
country’s rate of literacy. When was the
last time that you heard of a high school
graduate who couldn’t read, huh, huh?
Remember when freshman english was
the big flunk out course, when the
University used to say, sure you can come
here but you’ve got to pass freshman
English to stay. Not any more, freshmen
just breeze through it. They can read, they
can write and decline and conjugate and
probably better than the graduate student
teaching them. Where do you think they
got this ability, from some high school
primer written by an ivory tower type
whose last contact with reality was in the
delivery room at birth? No, Sesame
Street, dummy!

Even the grammar and language of the
street people is better thanks to television.

The other day I was robbed and it was
almost a pleasure. I felt a light pressure of
a gun in the small of my back and as the
panic level and hysteria threatened to
engulf me, an urbane voice spoke in my
ear, ”Please don’t be alarmed my dear
fellow, but due to a crippling drug habit,
prolonged unemployment and the neces-
sity of feeding my six children, I am
obliged to divest you of your watch and
wallet. Of course I shall leave you the taxi
fare home. After all, public transport in
this town is dreadful.” Held up, taken
aback, I asked my assailant where he had
learnt his smooth approach/to armed
robbery. Said he: ”Columbo, where the
hero looks like a burn and the bums look
like heroes.”

With social rejects like that, lam all the
more reassured as the ”television babies"
take up their positions at the very forefront
of society. Today’s doctors, politicians
lawyers and psychologists were all
weaned on Dr. Spock and four hours of
television a day. Television was as much a
part of their upbringing as milk and
orange juice. Milk and o.j. gave them
strong, healthy bodies; television gave
them strong, healthy minds.

Commends senate

support of gays

 

By Keith Gowton

 

Asa traditional nonsupporter of Student
Government (SG) I must say that I
commend the recent action of the I8
senators of ours in their support of the Gay
Student Coalition‘s (GSC) efforts to
receive University recognition. It is
reassuring to know that at least some of
our representatives actions are not dic-
ta ted by parochial attitudes and unfounded
bias. The issue being raised hear (sic) is
not and should not be a moral one.
Morality is not absolute. Neither should
the issue be a legal one. The law against
homosexual acts is a law predicated on
traditional beliefs that have no relevance
for today’s society. Indeed laws are
predicated on traditional beliefs and as
beliefs change so should laws. Very
seldom dochanges in law preceed changes
in beliefs. ”Homosexuality is immoral?”
What is more immoral than the injustices
we reap upon minority groups such as
Gays? What is more immoral than un-
founded, ill~conceived notions and
prejudices we have against gay people?
What is more immoral than blind
prejudice? Milton Steinberg in his book
entitled, ”Basic Judaism,“ states: ”Piety
toward God is meaningless unless it in
duces compassion toward human beings.”
Let me state that morality is meaningless
unless it induces compassion and un—
derstanding.

"Contrary to popular belief, there are no
physical characteristics common to
homosexuals. Only 15 per cent of the males
who have extensive homosexual eX»
periences and five per cent of such women
can be identified by their appearance as
being homosexual” (McCary, ”Human
Sexuality”). The ”nativistic theorists who
argue that homosexuality is inborn
(hereditary or due to hormonal in-
balances) have shown insufficient
evidence to support their assumptions.

There is more convincing evidence that
homosexuality is an outgrowth of en
vironmental pressures and other con
ditioning factors (Coleman; Kinsey et al.,
Pomeroy; Thorpe et al.) McCary,
”Human Sexuality.” In this latter view,
homosexuality might be viewed as the
result of "faulty" socialization, strongly
related to parental influences, and also
related to the initial rewarding (and
repeated enough) gratifying sexual en»
counter. Exact causal factors of
homosexuality (I should qualify by saying
only causes) are relatively unknown. It
would most likely not be a very
provocative statement to say that the
factors that seemingly lead to this type of
behavior are multidimensional. Never;
theless, the only reasonable conclusion
seems to indicate that the factors are
multidimensional. i tried to point this cut
in my earlier statement in support of the
view thathomosexuality is an outgrowth of
environmental pressures and other con»
ditioning factors.

What are our fears in recognizing these
individuals asa University organization? I
think they stink of ignorance, of fear of a
problem that we are not yet ready to ace
cept or even attempt to comprehend. Do
we recognize them as a threat to our own
homosexual tendencies? McCarey states
that within the American culture male
homosexuality is more of a threat to men
that female homosexuality is to women.
He further concludes that it is widely
recognized among psychotherapists that
men who have an underlying fear of their

own homosexual tendencies are frequently
vociferously abusive Vin their attacks
against homosexuality. Can we justify a
statement by the Kirwan Tower Dorm
Council president that ”l don’t feel that
they (GSC) are an organization that ought
to be recognized...l don’t feel that they are

Decisions

Editor:

The personal decision which I was
recently confronted with was made
with much thought. Not only was it
made with what I feel are my best
interests in mind now but also what i
feel they will be in the future.

My decision whether popular or not,
was on I felt was necessary and I am
now ready to stand by and-or accept the
consequences.

During this time, many people have
offered their support, suggestions and
opinions. Some of these people many
unknown to me, have offered to help me
in all possible ways, not only now, but in
the future. My gratitude to these people
can never be fully expressed.

 

Through0ut life, man is faced with
many decisions—and during his life, no
matter what the consequences, he must
do what he feels will be more beneficial
to him, his lifestyle and his peace of
mind.

Editor:

For the benefit of the Kernel I would

mentally fit.” Sam, you have a right to
your opinion only when you can support
your claims. Batteries of psychological
tests of a carefully matched sample of
homosexual and heterosexual subjects
found no conclusive evidence to support
distinctions between the two groups
(McCary). In fact the American
Psychological Association has reclassified
homosexuality from a severe mental
disorder to a behavior disorder on their
DSMAI (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual,
Mental Disorders). Even so, McCarey
cites evidence in support of the fact that
homosexual individuals show no more
personality disorders than heterosexuals.

Recognize the reality of the situation
people. Recognition of GSC will not lead to
bathroom orgies or homosexual rapes on
campus. It must be remembered that
homosexuals, just as any other sexual
variance, can be as religioUs, moralistic,

 

3» in ( Air :0 SI‘HVI‘S

loyal to country or cause, inhibited,
bigoted. or censorious of other types of
sexual variance as any one else can.
(McCarey). It is difficult for me to per-
ceive that the only function or major
function of GSC would involve availing
partners for sexual acts any more than I
can perceive fraternities being chiefly
concerned with creating opportunities for
heterosexual acts. Let’s at least try to get
beyond the gutter.

In concluding, let me say that, Gay
people deserve the right to be recognized.
Recognition does not equate condonement.
Recognition is the first "real” step to
resolving a problem. Give Gays the right
to be recognized.

 

Keith Gowton is a sociology graduate
student.

 

 

Oct. 13). Who or what will end this
absurdity?

Vogel is certainly not the typical
”hopelessly ambitious” writer, how
ever he is genuinely interested in
sleeping; such literary oddities must be
the fruit of his dreams.

If invisible ink isn’t available, perfor~
ate Vogel’s page into four equal strips
which, in all due respect, can be used as
a toilet convenience.

()ne of the very few women ordained as an Episcopal priest in this
country will speak here Sunday. starting off a week of International
Women‘s Year activities in Lexington.

The Rev. Berry Schiess will speak 10:30 a.m. Sunday at the
Unitarian Church on Clays Mill Road. She was one of 11 women
ordained in a controversial ceremony in Philadelphia in 1974.

Episcopalian canon law prohibits the ordination of women so the
case has set off heated controversy within the ranks of the church.

A new 24-hour telephone referral service is now being offered by

Injunction prevents rental agency

I D9 Q y Pl ( 'l—pfiél

from deceptive advertising practices

By PETER KEAM

Kernel Staff Writer
. .Fayette Circuit Judge Mitchell

Meade last month fined Home
Index, a lexington rental agency,
for violating an injunction issued
in March 1975.

The injunction. resulting from
a suit filed by the state Office of
Consumer Protection, prohibits
Home Index from advertising
rental property which is not in
fact available. Meade suspended
the $300 fine for one year pending
any possible future violations of
the injunction.

Pat Stallard, assistant attorney
general for consumer protection,
said the suit concerned 3 Ken-
tucky statute prohibiting false,
misleading and deceptive prac—
tices.

“This involves advertising pro-
perty as available that is simply
not available,” Stallard said.
“For example if you see a
four-bedroom house advertised
and you go out there and find a

“The complaint alleges that
these listings came from the
newspaper; that they simply
called the newspaper classifieds
for their listings." he said.

Stallard said the statute pro-
vided for three remedies: injunc—
tion, civil penalties for willful
violation, and restitution (of fees
paid by consumers).

“We asked for all three of these
in the suit. The result was an
injunction which Home Index
agreed to, but that didn’t make it
any less of an injunction,” Stal-
lard said.

“The injunction prohibited
them from advertising or repre-
senting property as an induce-
ment to get a consumer to pay a
fee,” he added.

Tom Wheeler, general mana-
ger of Home Index in Lexington,
said the court action didn’t
greatly affect business.

“It hasn’t hurt business a whole
lot. Of course we did get some

Wheeler added that Home In-
dex began in Louisville in June
1972.

“This is when the corporation
formed in Louisville under the
name of Homefinders and the
name was later changed to
Rentex. We went independent of
Homefinders and formed our own
corporation in December, 1974,”
Wheeler said. “We felt that
Homefinders limited the services
we could give our customers.“
