Says He'll Remain As UK Trustee

Chandler May Be Wallace's Running Mate

By GUY MENDES
Associate Editor
Former Gov. A. B. Chandler supposedly ticketed to
be George Wallace's vice presidential running-mat- e
Sunday refused to confirm the appointment but said if
he is chosen he would not relinquish his position on
the University's Board of Trustees.
According to reports, Chandler has told close friends
that Wallace has chosen him, but when reached in his
home Sunday Chandler said he was "not prepared to
say anything until after Tuesday's Washington D.C.
press conference in which Gov. Wallace will announce
his choice.
"I expect, to be present at that time," Chandler

said.

Wallace, who is said to also be considering Gen.
Curtis LeMay, former Air Force chief of staff, and
former secretary of agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, has

refused to confirm or deny reports that he has chosen
Chandler.
Chandler said he saw no conflict in his running for
the vice presidency and acting as a UK trustee.
"I don't involve the University in politics," he said.
"I've been a member of the board of trustees at Transylvania College for 40 yean and no questions have
ever been raised." During that period Chandler served
twice as governor, as a United States senator and as
commissioner of baseball.

Doesn't Anticipate Objection
Chandler said he didn't anticipate any objection
from the University community but that "someone may
try to make something out of it.
"My service on the board has been a labor of love,
you know. You don't get anything for it except a few
cussin's," lie said.
Chandler was appointed to the UK board by Cov.
'

.

Louie Nunn, in what many feel was repayment for Chandler's bolting the Democratic party and supporting the
Republican Nunn in the 1967 gubernatorial election.
Several board members who were questioned said
they saw nothing wrong with Chandler's running, but
two campus groups may raise objection.
VI really don't know of any reason why he couldn't
run and be on the board," said A. D. Kirwan, acting
UK president. He said he knew of no legal restrictions.
One trustee, Dr. Ralph Angelucci, said he saw no
conflict of interest involved "unless he (Chandler) were
elected." He said he didn't think there would be any
adverse reaction by the board members.

Busy CARSA Struggles
To Establish. An Identity
By CHARLES BOWEN

Kernel Staff Writer
The question of coalition with
other campus action groups disrupted the Friday night meeting
of the newly-forme- d
Community
Alliance for Responsible Social
Action (CARSA).
Chairman Meg Tassie an--

v

i

..r
YLi

The Rev. Craig Frederickson discusses the advantages and disadvantages of statewide affiliation with CARSA members Craham
Watkim ami Nancy Maclean, at the CARSA meeting Friday night.
Members debated affiliation, representation, ami the group's future
during the busy session.

nounced that CARSA had been
asked to become affiliated "with
a statewide organization known
as White Friends of BULK"
(Black Unity League of Kentucky). "What it would come
down to," she said, "is that
we would commit ourselves to
support the actions of the Black
Student Union and BULK."
Some of the members of CARSA opposed becoming officially
associated with the BSU, or any
other campus organization. One
member, addressing the chair,
said, "CARSA should be left
with the freedom to make its
own opinions" and not assume
of
the blanket endorsement
another group's activities.
"Aren't we spreading ourselves rather thin?" asked one
memlier. "At the first meeting,
our goal was to work toward
forming a civilian review board
to examine the Police Department. Now you want to take
on the whole state."
Members of CAUSA and other
community groups marched on
the Iifxiugtou Municipal Building Thursday to show their sup-H)- it
for Rev. Craig Frederickson's
"Statement Concerning Repression in Lexington," in which lie
proposed reforms of the Lexington Police Force.
It was iointed out "the BSU
did not help us Thursday in the
demonstration." Miss Tassie said
that three meinlcrs of the BSU

were appointed to CARSA's steering committee and "so far they
haven't shown up."
A member reported that the
BSU had only been informed of
the demonstration late Wednesday night and that the group
had had no time to prepare.
Chairman Tassie then said,
"The three steering committee
members said they would be here

tonight, and they're not."

How-

ever Miss Tassie went on to say
that to become affiliated with
White Friends of BULK would
"give us statewide connections."
One student objected, saying
he had never heard of BULK.
The chairman said that BULK
is composed of black groups all
over Kentucky with its headquarters in Louisville. "I woukl imagine," she said, "that the police
has heard of it. And administrations. And I would think students
liave heard of it . . . Does it

matter?"
It was moved that the discussion be postponed luitil the
next meeting "before we create
between CAlLSA"and
the BSU.
At that point Rev. Craig
Frederickson took the floor to
answer the charge of "spieading
CARSA too thin." He said if
CARSA tried to take on the Lexington community alone on community issues "I'm afraid you're
going to run into trouble."

Election Reform
After the debacle of the Democratic National Convention, it is
reassuring to see the concern of at
least some of the nation's lawmakers being directed to the job
of reforming at least some of the
archaic processes by which this
country chooses its President.
To remedy the obviously undemocratic convention process, Sen.
Gaylord Nelson (Dem. Wisconsin)
has introduced legislation aimed
at their reform or abolition. His
bill drew support from Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield who
stated, "I hope the conventions
will be ruled out as a means of
selecting candidates. They don't
represent the candidates."
In fact, of course, the whole
process under which the President
The

choosing the President, allowing as
it does the possibility of a candidate winning with an actual
minority of the total vote and of
another candidate losing with an
actual majority of the same vote.
Further, these electors are
chosen in varying manners in different states. Some are chosen in

Ease Off, Cops
The beating of Black Panther
party members and their white
y
supporters by a group of
officers in New York Wednespolice
day clearly lends credence to claims
that police are incapable of dealing
rationally with problems in black
neighborhoods.
Hopefully, of course, the actions
of a few policemen in their off
hours do not reflect the feelings
and motivations of all law enforcement officers across the country.
But it is getting harder and harder
for a large segment of the population to believe it.
When the whole nation sees
police beating protestors in uniform
and then reads of police beating
members of a black political organization in their leisure hours, it is
hard to think of the cop on the
off-dut-

corner as "your friend in blue."
Rather, for many it gets easier
all the time to refer to all policemen as "fascist pigs."
What the New York incident
underlines clearly is the tensions
in this country are such that we
can no longer afford even minor
instances of police irresponsibility.
Every time a police officer uses
undue force or reacts in an irrational manner he brings this whole
nation closer to the brink of civil
disorder.
It may be too much to expect
a policeman to be perfect. But
it is not too big a request to ask
that they at least, in their on as

so many people felt so important with so
little justification. The McCarthy fans
have felt they were on a "divine Mis-- ,
sion" to "save" the democratic process
from party bossism and arbitrary political
power. They vow that someday they will
replace the Daley's and the Bailey's
(bosses and bad) with a more democratic
party machinery.
Once again we see political idealism
run wild. "Beat the machine!" has been

happens? They establish their own little
machine. It's inevitable, and not really
detrimental, It's life. Its only natural
for the group in power to guard that
power jealously. But the McCarthy fans
are too idealistic to see this. If they
get beat, they say the party machinery
is "not responsive to the will of the

The McCarthy people contend that the
Chicago convention was unfair and repressive. On the whole, I would disagree. Considering conventions in the
past, it was probably one of the fairest
run Democratic conventions in history.

many of the demonstrators came to Chicago merely to raise hell, and disrupt the
serious business of the convention. Many
of those "yippies" got exactly what they
deserved.
No, Kernel editors, the Democratic

In fact, the involvement of Chicago the
deep concern with the vital issues of the
day is a sign of life and not death.
It is a sign that the Democratic party
is willing to face reality squarely and come
to grips with the problems of America.
And it speaks ill of the opulence and
aloofness of Miami.
Democracy was the winner, not the
loser, in Chicago, because the majority
ruled, and law and order was preserved.
Hubert Humphrey was the winner in Chicago, because he is the leading American
spokesman of liberalism, and will continue the Kennedy and Johnson policies
of progress in the White House. Humphrey defends the police action in Chicago
and the military action in Vietnam not
because he is a "redneck" or a "hawk"
but rather because he considers all the
alternatives and sides to an issue and
realizes our best course of action. Triple-I-I

because they were beaten.
Monstrous Injuries
Ann Hayes was unofficial
chief of medical operations in
Chicago for the week of violence.
She said, "The number of people
hurt here is so imposing, the
nature of the injuries so monstrous, it's really impossible to
tell how many kids were hurt.
We didn't even have time to
keep a logbook."
Miss Hayes is on the Medfor
Human
ical Committee
Rights; one of her associates had
this to say: "I spoke to a police
desk sergeant in one of the local
precincts. He finally blew his
stack at some of my questions;
he said the order had gone out
to the hospitals not to report
any of the injuries to the press
or just about anyone."
But gathering together loose
strips of paper with hastily
scrawled names and addresses
the two women managed to
scrape together some count of the
number of people hurt during
five nights of violence. Their accounts were mostly from the
hosmakeshift livingroom-siz- e
pital on the third floor at 116
the hospital
South Michigan
which served the people brought
in from Crant Park.
According to both medical coordinators, most injuries were
scalp cuts on the back of the

head. "There were many broken
hands and wrists; many of the
young men were hurt in the
groin. Our most serious case was
a young woman of perhaps 20
who has broken ribs and a suspected ruptured spleen."
1000

Treated

Miss Hayes said there were
at least 1000 people treated for
burns and other complications
caused by gassing. "We had ten
medical teams here," she said,
"and each team worked on about
100 people who had more than
the superficial effects of gassing."
Other medical aid stations
scattered throughout the city
treated more than 250 casualties.
Taken together, well over 1200
people were hurt during the week.
The most intangible figures are
for people who made it on their
own or with friends to hospitals,
and the "scores of those we just
didn't have time to get to."
So now, perhaps, we have
the American Brotherhood syllogism:
THE BLACKS HAVE ALr
WAYS BEEN BEATEN.
WHITES WHO DEMONSTRATE ARE BEATEN.
WHITES WHO REPORT ON
ARE
DEMONSTRATIONS
BEATEN.
THE MEN WHO MANAGE
THE MEDIA MUST PROTECT
THEIR OWN.
THE PEOPLE ARE FED BY
THE MEDIA.
What a powerful alliance may
be possible! Personal safety in
walking down the political street
what a powerful bond. Many
of the newsmen who saw whites
being beaten for the first time,
politicians who saw kids beaten
for the first time, kids who saw
newsmen beaten for the first time,
felt the stirrings of that alliance.
They understood, many for the
first time, what the ghetto is
like.

Hysteria
Linda, who changes the linen

No Battle
There was no battle as the
headlines say here in Chicago.
A battle is fought between opposing armies of comparative
strength. Rather, in Chicago,
there was the American culture
with all of its different kinds
of people set in violent motion.
Some of them were beaten and
others looked over their shoulder.
But all of them were taught to
see, and all have seen.
