Controversy Over Protest
Causes Petition Changes

Music majors voted early this
afternoon to rephrase a petition
aimed at University President
John W. Oswald protesting the
"dismissal" of assistant professor Sara Holroyd.
They are now asking that
Miss Holroyd be given an explanation "she can accept personally," and they are relaying
their petition through Dr. Hubert
Henderson, head of the music
department and School of Fine
Arts.
Friday noon, 104 music majors
signed a petition demanding they
be told why Miss Holroyd is not
being rehired after next year.
The switch came out of a

Constitutionality Questions Dj
Cause Election Nullification

DcDEE SCALF
Kernel Staff Writer
Questions of constitutionality
resulted in election of next year's
Cosmopolitan Club officers being
nullified Friday night.
The constitutionality of more
than three members from one
country being elected and the
number of active members who
voted were the two main complaints of dissenters.
to the club's
According
recently-ratifie- d
constitution, no
more than three representatives
from any one country can serve
as officers during the same year.
The number of a certain nationality being nominated is not
limited, only those elected, and
in Friday's attempted election,
this was the problem. With four
of the seven offices filled, two
Americans had already been elected and nominations for the other
three positions included Americans.
One member attempted to
move that the constitution be
amended and the election be
continued. The new constitution,
however, can only be amended
by a two-thirmajority vote
and only if the amendment is
proposed at least two weeks before the voting date.
It was also decided impossible
to remove the names of certain
nominees merely because they
were of the same nationality.
One of the present officers said,
"Who can say which candidate
is the most qualified and who

should be disqualified" since all
the nominees were approved by
the club at our last meeting."
The other question pertained
to the number of voters who were
actual paying members. Preceding the meeting it was stated that
a membership card was necessary
to vote. However, it was voted
at the beginning of the meeting
that all those present would be
allowed to cast a ballot.
This idea was presented as
an agreement among the three
candidates Ciovanni Freda, a
junior English major from Venezuela; Jim Harty, sophomore
political science major from Lexington; and Tom Sweet, sophomore from Louisville and the
presiding president, Miguel Martinez, a junior from Puerto Rico.
Even though the election was
called
unconstitutional since
everyone was allowed to vote,
many felt anulling it was even
more so. Some apparently became so disgusted that when
Martinez called a break in the
middle of the debate, they left
the room.
The general criticism of the
club by the three presidential
candidates was its lack of organization. Some felt this was demonstrated at the Friday meeting because several of those who were
"unconstitutional"
screaming
had never seen the club's constitution. In fact, less than a
month ago when a meeting was
called to ratify the new constitution, only three members were
present.

larty, whose election as president was annulled, said, "There
is a lack of interest and communication in this club."
Freda, an unsuccessful presidential candidate, said, "There

was no farsight shown in the
nominations, because members
should have seen that more than
three from one country, in this
case America, would be elected."
His solution was to allow only
three nominees from any one
country to be presented to the
club.
The annulled elections and
possible amendments to the constitution are to be discussed at
an open cabinet meeting a week
from Tuesday.

"Students don't realize that

Also this year, with the increased time involved, there
should be more completed schedules, he said. Last semester, only
about half of the schedules were
completed.

* Other Voices Need Heed
Recent disclosure of a considerable amount of faculty concern
over high rise building plans indicates that a fairly important voice
has not had sufficient say in physical planning.
Faculty members, after all, are
the experts in the field of college
teaching. They are the ones who
will have to function within the
walls of the new structures planned
and approved by administrators.
Perhaps too much thought has
been given to the efficient use of
the space aspect of the building
plan and not enough to considerations of its functional aspects in
terms of the teaching process.
Tall towers, architectually attractive and efficient in terms of
seating space per student per acre,
are of little real value to the University if they provide serious roadblocks to the interchange of ideas
among scholars. This interchange
is indeed the heart of higher education.
We are most concerned, however, with the apparent failure to
include sufficient faculty opinion
in the early stages of planning for
the complex and in the formulation

'The

CorrcHpomlciicc

V

All Very

High-Lcvcl- "

of the general physical development plan.
It may be true, as proponents
of the complex claim, that faculty
members are overrating the difficulties of the complex in inhibiting
student-facultinterchange, but
raised certainly seem
objections
worthy of consideration. They
should have been considered at the
heart of the planning process, before final plans were drawn and
contracts let. Would an architect
outside the educational market fail
to consult with tenants of a structure he was building concerning
functional aspects of the design?
We fear the entire physical development plan reflects too much
a "business" point of view with
main impetus for the planning
coming from the financial offices
rather than the faculty and students.
Before the University thrusts
vigorously into the implementation of the campus physical development plan it should painfully retrace an overlooked
of faculty and student
ideas in developing the building
theme of the future.

Miss Holroyd's Dismissal

School" and has been reasonably
successful. If Miss Holroyd leaves,
there will be a gap in the music
education program that will be
hard to fill. It will not be easy
to find someone who can establish

the relationship she had with us.
Our loss will be someone else's
gain, for she will go to some other
school immediately.
I do not know if her leaving
is part of this "publish or perish"
kick or not. But if she leaves,

many students who are receiving
fine training now and would have
later will go elsewhere due to our
lack.
hope my letter will help influence the College of Arts and
Sciences to ask a tremendous
teacher to stay.

Passport Policy

Freedom to travel is a basic
right particularly dear to world-rovin- g
Americans. This attitude
underlies the current controversy
over the State Department's request to two United States embassies to keep watch over the
movements of a Harvard professor
when he goes to Europe this fall.
Does the granting of a passas
port justify such a follow-u- p
shadowing the holder of it as he
goes about his business abroad?
The United States Supreme Court
has ruled on other limitations of
the right to travel, but not specifically on this question. Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy (D) of Massachusetts has done well to question
the propriety of surveillance of
Prof. H. Stuart Hughes of Harvard
as he has in a letter to Secretary
of State Dean Rusk.
It is an issue deserving full
public discussion. The call for the
check on Professor Hughes' movements abroad was issued by the
Passport Office of the State Department at the request of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Why? Some years ago the Passport Office had raised questions

about the Harvard historian's attitude toward communism, but he
had made three trips to Europe
since. He attributed the FBI's concern at this time to his recent
criticism of administration policy
in Vietnam.
The State Department will do
well to establish clearer guidelines
for those of its staff who handle
passport policy, in accord with
Secretary Rusk's new plan. Supreme Court decisions have affirmed the right to "freedom of
movement," lifting a ban on Communists which was enforced for
some years. But this has not prevented restrictions as to the countries to be visited, nor the right
of the State Department to
"shadow" those to whom it
grants passports.
Some controls are necessary in
times of war and national emergency. The important thing is that
they be used with restraint and
not employed to harass citizens
on unproven charges of communism as was done in the McCarthy
era.

WAR ON POVERTY

College Of Education Personnel Stage
Front Line Attack In Appalachia Area
GENE CLABES
Kernel Staff Writer

By

dynasty's death the Appalachian

the
direction of University College
of Education personnel, public
schools are being used as weapons against ignorance and poverty in this Appalachian area.
Manchester, the seat of Clay
County, has a population 1,900
and is the center of a battle
to stamp out economic hardships through education.
Much like neighboring counties in Eastern Kentucky, Clay
has suffered from depleting coal
fields. Skeletons of these monster
mines cling silently to the mountain sides, rcaking in thegusting
winds that whip through the
valleys. Long since has the
"mother load" been exhausted
and the coal dust settled.
With the fading of the rich
coal veins the story of a once
middle class
economically-soun- d
society is partially told. Few
mines now produce and of those
that do, automation has nudged
out most common laborers.
Facing a threat of subsistance
living from state and federal welfare sources or no income at
all, many have moved out of
Appalachia over the past few
years. In some areas almost 50
percent of the population has
become migrant, shifting to Cincinnati, Dayton, Louisville, and
Columbus to seek their fortunes.
A high percentage of those
who remain in the mountains
have found the "happy pappy"
system the most bountiful program since the company store.
Known in Frankfort and Washington as the Welfare, Education
and Training Program, pappies
who have been out of work for
90 days are eligible. They clear
debris from the mountain-siderepair roads, clear trees and brush
from riv er banks to aid drainage,
and a host of other tasks.
Pappies can earn as much as
$250 a month while training at
certain skills. Instead of remaining with the pappy program,
many take better paying jobs
with mining companies and inMANCHESTER-Und- er

of food, clothing and

laces meager livclihood-- an
existence made possible largely by
welfare.
Five years ago the UK College
of Education sent its first specialist to the mountains to aid
in reading. Dr. Wallace Ramsey,
remedial reading instructor, was
one of the pioneers in this area.
He says there is a definite
change in the educational procedures of Clay County schools.
Now they have better teachers
and courses that will aid in
future
defeating Appalachia's
problems, he says.
"However, I don't feel the
area is gaining in school improvement compared to the rest
of the nation," Dr. Ramsey said.
"They're getting better here, but
the rest of the nation is improving also. It will be a long
time before Appalachia catches

interest."
"They must feel someone is
interested in them," he said.
"They need more than the basic

education such as reading and
writing. They need the frills of

education."

He classifies "frills" as music,
clubs and other
activities. Many children can be
reached through these activities,
he said.
Mrs. Hallie Rledsoe, County
School superintendent, enthusiastically backs the training programs.
"If we had funds all along,
we would have been well on
our way to improvement," she
said.
She sums up Manchester's
situation, "It's a rural
