THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Wednesday, April

22, 1904

Students Protest
Carelton Suspensions
Richard Oilman, dean of the
college, said that many of the
articles and poems In the magazine dealt with student sexual
relations.
He emphasized that the magazine will be allowed to continue publication and the suspended students may continue to
work for It.
Students regard the suspensions as an abridgment of freedom, according to Frank Teltsch,
editor of the Carleton student
newspaper. They are protesting
the method of punishing the
students, without reference to
the articles themselves, Teltsch
said.
I'ndrr the charter of the Carle-tu- n
Publications Board, new publications do not have to join the
Board during a
"trial
period," but it ran still art when
it ronsiders a publication is in
poor taste, Teltsch said.
8tudents are protesting to the
president of Carleton, and the
student newspaper has editorialized against the move he said.
Faculty members debated the
subject last week at an
faculty meeting which had been
cilled before the Issue came out.
They spent most of the meeting
cliscussig It, Teltsch said, and
they were split on the issue.
Gilamn said that when the
publication came out last Friday,
all students formally associated
with It met with the deans of
women or men and those who

did not disclaim responsibility
(about half) were suspended.
Dean Merrill Jarchow, Carle-ton- 's
dean of men and member
of the college's publications board
said, "After two years of constant criticism we (the administration) figured the time had
come to make it crystal clear
what we stand for."
The issue which caused the
furor was railed "Field and
Srreame" and was issued by a
group that rails itself Truth,
Limited. This issue was seven
mimeographed
pates, the last
three pages of which were yellow and headed "Special Arb
Extra." It was this last section
that was labeled "vulgar" and
"clearly offensive to good taste"
by the Carleton administration.
The suspensions were an effort
by the administration to "demonstrate what type of student criticism" It would tolerate, according to one of the suspended students.
"This campus came alive When
I was a freshman," Pete Schjel-dah- l.
now a Junior and one of the
suspended students.
This heralded a new leadership of the student newspaper,
under John
the Carletonian,
Miller. Their motto: "The purpose of a college newspaper is
to make people mad." And this
they proceeded to do, Schjcldahl
explained.

"I have Just been Informed by

taken to place the University of
Kentucky athletics on probation

"In connection with this action,
I would like to make the following comments:

the NCAA concerning the possible infraction, the I'nlversity

coaches together with the team
physician devised a physical fitness program that proceeded
spring practice in 1962 and 1963.
The fact that this program was
compulsory for football players
and was supervised by coaches
led the NCAA to conclude (and
In which I have concurred from
the outset) that these sessions
constituted
practice and thus
the University of Kentucky exceeded the allowable number of
spring practices. The athletic director and coaches had felt htat
since only fitness was Involved
(no ball, no drills, no plays, etc.)
that It was not practice.
"3. I am satisfied that there
has never been any attempt to
avoid deliberately the rules on
the part of our athletic staff.
"4. As soon as I was aware of
this problem (October 19C3), I
directed that this fitness program be discontinued as a requirement and that no coaches
were to be Involved. A fitness
program for 1964 followed the
procedures
prescribed
by the
NCAA.

"5. In connection with the football grants in question in the
spring of 1962 I note that the
NCAA
Council and Infractions
Committee has determined that
while no violations occurred in

questionable practices. To be certain that no question of this nature arises in the future, I have
directed the athletic director to

case with the student involved to

If you make a

will have a better chance of shaking the dangerous habit.
The Buddy system has been

the thousands who Jammed the
at Hunter College
auditoriums
campus recently for the National
Health Foundation's five-da- y
"How To Step Smoking" course.
As with alcoholics, fellow cigarette sufferers understand each
other's tensions and are sympathetic. They can fight their problem together, and they can check
up on each other.
But even though you are a

winning your husband away from
the weed. Dr. Catherine Hess and
Dr. Elman Folkenberg agree.
Or. Hess is assistant health
commissioner for New York City
and is in charge of the free city-wicigarette withdrawal clinics
which are to open in April.
Elman Folkenberg, of South
Lancaster, Mass. devised the program with Dr. J. Wayne McFar-lan- d
and directs it. The

They suggest:
1. Your attitude is important.
Above all, don't be holier than
he. Don't nag him. Let the decision to quit be his alone and his
to maintain. Don't hide the cigarettes. That is his prerogative.
Ecme men like to put them on
the mantel where they can thumb

their noses at them, or carry

them in their pockets as reassurance of their willpower. But you
might put away the ashtrays.

the bill collectors, and the inlaws.
2. Serve lighter foods, a liquid
diet of fruit Juices the first day,
and plenty of fruit Juices thereafter.
The glucose intake In the Juices
reduce the craving for fattening
sweets.
3. Avoid highly spiced foods.
These are tco stimulating to the
nervous system.
4. Cut out the coffee. Although
coffee itself is not necessarily
cigharmful, the coifee-and-- a
arette habit is. Help him to
break the long established pattern by removing the other half

"Give him a lot of water to

Turn the television on, or provide some other entertainment
after dinner to keep his mind off

Appreciate that It is a big problem which he is trying to lick.
"And," says psychologist Folkencourage,

* Blessed Are
The Persecuted
All tilings considered, the NCAA
might be due for some criticism concerning its action against the University.
The question is this: "Why were
e singled out for such a severe
judgment?" Obviously the officials of
the governing body were aware of
the "quality" of our team and they
fashioned the punishment accordingly.
We can't go to the Sugar Bowl!
Perhaps if Coach Bradshaw hadn't
said we were going to lick all 10
opponents next year, the NCAA might
not have been so severe. They
wouldn't have known just how good
we're going to be.
Certainly they hadn't read Coach
Bradshaw's recent charge to Kentucky
journalists, in which he said we
must all do our part to promote
the University's football program.
They just do not realize that it takes
a 110 percent effort from everyone to
produce a winning team.
Of course things could have been
worse. The NCAA could have barred
the University from all football games
next year. This would have meant no
or Stag Day.
Homecoming,
Worse yet, they could have banned
'(shudder) basketball.
On the positive side, it is encouraging to note that the athletic director "voluntarily informed" the NCAA
that a possible infraction existed. In
view of this, it seems "uncharitable"
ol the governing officials to hold the
University up to ridicule.
Since we "cooperated" so well, it
seems ungrateful to accuse us of
d
"questionable practices" which
poorly on the general admin

istration of intercollegiate athletics."
Of course, Mr. Byers did say that
"The NCAA Council is of the opinion that the University did not intend to do wrong." He went on to
say that the activity in question
("procedures utilized to secure voluntary letters of resignation" from
athletes turning in their grants-in-aid- )
was continued
two successive
years.
President Oswald had already
moved "forthrightly" on the problem,
before the announcement was made.
Previously the spring conditioning
program was "compulsory for football players and was supervised by
coaches." This year the program was
announced its "voluntary," and no
coaches were to be "involved." Naturally our boys volunteered.
Another criticism answered was
the Athletic Department's method of
divorcing athletes from their scholarships. Dr. Oswald said, "I have directed the athletic director to discuss
personally each and every case with
the student involved to be certain
the student is completely ni formed
of his entitlement under NCAA rules
and policies."
Naturally a boy will gladly give
up his scholarship, if only his rights
are explained to him, or will he?
Finally, extend a word of encouragement to the "good Christian gentlemen." Remember the words of
Matthew, Chapter Five: "Blessed are
they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven."
Better yet, remember the words
of William Penn: "Whoever is right,
the persecutor must be wrong."

Concerning Summer Session

I take this opportunity to comment on your editorial of Thursday,
April 16, concerning the Summer
Session. I believe that part of the
editorial was based on impressions
ingained from a lack of sufficient
formation.
First, the change of faculty ap10 month
pointments from a 12 to a
basis was not an "economy" measure.
The professor will not receive a reduced stipend, but rather will have
the summer months free to pursue a
program of research, study, writing,
travel, or other activity to improve
himself professionally to better serve
the University. Should he elect to
teach during the Summer Session,
his salary will be supplemented, so
that instead of an economy, the
change to a 10 month basis will, in
fact, cost the University in excess of
$330,000 to supiKH t the new program.
Second, it is my understanding
that the adoption of the new school
calendar was in no way associated
with a change to a trimester plan. It
was based on sound academic principles independent of any change to the
trimester plan. The fact that the new
calendar would make a trimester plan
more feasible does not mean the
adoption of such a plan was forthcoming. This is a separate issue.
The reduced offerings for the
summer were based, not on an economy move, but on an ellort to provide for the needs of the greatest-numbe- r
of students at a justifiable
cost, based on past demands for the
courses. Adjustments in the printed
schedule have and will be made to
provide for the demonstrated needs
of the students.
Development of the new Summer
Session program, of course,- had to
await appropriations from the State
Legislature this year. In the future,
more time will be available for planning. More careful and longer range
planning by the colleges, advisors,
and students will be required to provide the necessary courses in the Summer Session.
I would welcome the opportunity
to discuss the Summer Session with

m

you or a Kernel reporter if you have
stKxidc questions.

Criticizes Editorial
To the Editor:
After reading several editorials
each year about student apathy on
campus, it was with regret that we
read today's (April 21) editorial, "The
Best Vote Is No Vote At All." Aficr
years of condemning apathy, how can
the Kernel now support it?
The Kernel ought to realise that
the Student Party did not want to
run without opposition. As we staled
on page two of the same edition of
the Kernel as your editorial, we wcie
sorry that James Svara withdrew, giving for the reason that he had not
given enough consideration to the
time and responsibilities involved in
the office of President of Student
Congress. Is it the fault of the Student
Party that this candidate was not
enough to make these considerations before his nomination?
Should the Student Party be condemned because the opposition seemingly does not hold enough inteiest
in student government to stay in the
race? We think not. It seems, rather,
that the Student Party offers the students the only candidates who aie
interested enough to spend their time
trying to better Student Congress.
The Kernel, we feel, could have
fulfilled its role as a student newspaper much better by talking to us,
the only remaining candidates, and
finding out more about our platform
and plans for Student Congress. Need
there be debates? We feel the Kenu-could have done the job just as well,
by evaluating our platform and gi ing
the student party an honest opinion
as to its merits. If the award-winninKernel editorial writer had been conscientious enough, he would have
taken up this slack created by the
lack of debates and candidates.
Student Party Candidates for
Student Congress: Steve Besiikar,
President; Dave Clarke, Vice Presi- dent; Janie Olmstead, Secretary; V
Lois Rock, Treasurer.
