Kentucky Schools To Get
Better Picture Of Negro
Action taken by the state
to see that Negro achievements
are slighted neither by sins of
textual omission or commission
was described by Dr. Lyman
Ginger as part of a "national

movement."

Dr. Ginger, retiring dean of
the College of Education, said
he was "not surprised" at the
steps taken by the State Board
of Education earlier in the week.
The Board asked examination
of all textbooks for full, fair and
honest treatment of contributions
to American society by Negroes
and other minorities. Dr. Ginger
said this was a "very subjective"
area, and that he did not know

what measure the State
book Commission
its evaluation.

Text-

would use in

The Board also directed the
State Department of Education
to prepare supplementary materials on Negro achievements for
use in classrooms.
Dr. Ginger said he knew of
no requests for aid or involvement of the University in the
matter.
In Washington, D. C., last
weekend, Dr. Ginger said he
noticed in the newspapers that
"two or three Eastern cities"
were making similar attempts
to shed light on Negro involvement in the country's past.
"Perhaps it is not an organized movement," Dr. Ginger
said, but there are individuals
and groups helping to see that
"a better image and the full

accomplishments of the Negro
are presented."
Dr. Ginger is in full accord
with the movement. "History
should be taught so as to include every person who has made
a noteworthy contribution (to
it), regardless of his race or
color."
"It should be written," he
added, "on the basis of what
lias been done, not on the basis
of 'who' has done it."

Mrs. Harry McAlpin, wife of
the only Negro member of the
State Board, was initially responsible for its action. For two
years she wrote letters to its
members, calling for required
teaching of Negro history in
every history class.

FLORENCE Former Vice President Richard

Stopping briefly Wednesday afternoon in

become a great nation again only when effectiveness of the "loyal opposition" is restored.
The Republican party, deeply divided in l(J(l,
"uniting in mind" its candidates, and is
"far more united" than the Democrats, Nivon
said. "This Democratic split is a roadblock to
peace in Vietnam," he said.

* "Guess Wlial Consensus We've Kcnclicd Again"

A Speechless Majority
While the University administration continues to plan for a
ftxrtball
it is becoming more evident
that student opinion is not of great
importance in the matter.
Dialogue between the administration and the student body should
not only have begun long ago,
but should be intensified as planning progresses. This is particularly true since the University seems
to be submitting to the various
whims and desires of the Lexington
Chamber of Commerce crowd, a
group whose motivations regarding
the issue are all too clear.
The ultimate decision as to
where the stadium will be placed
rests with the UK Trustees. Recommendations of the Athletic
Association, coupled with other
pressure from influential alumni
and Lexington merchants, will undoubtedly carry much weight. This
e
limited
process, in our
proposed

Responsibility

Some of the embarrassment'
caused the University by the delay
in housing more than 200 coeds
lias undoubtedly been relieved. Administration officials made a wise
and responsible decision when they
decided to assume the responsibility of moving the coeds into
the new dorm complex.
The thought of 200 coeds forced
with the problems of living in
hotels because of delayed deadlines and then moving to permanent quarters without help would
be enough to raise anyone's ire.
The University is only assuming its responsibility in providing boxes, trucks and manpower
to move the coeds.

opinion, is an administrative slight
to the students that can in no way
be justified.
Granted, the Student Government Association president is an
Athletic Association member, but
he has only one of 16 votes. As
other members are all
we believe this sole vote representing the entire student body
is insufficient and leaves the students a speechless majority.
We do not assume this issue
is one of major concern to a large
segment of the student body, or
for that matter, even a substantial
minority. Rut this is not the point.
The point is that students, merely
in their role as an integral part of
any university community, should
at least be shown the courtesy of
legitimate concern for one of the
activities
larger student-relatehere.
Even this, however, is not sufficient, for not only are students
seemingly ignored, but their interests apparently are of less importance than those of other influential
groups.
A concrete line of communication between the administration
and the student community should
be established and established
soon. The Student Government Association is the logical body to
initiate this communication on behalf of the student body.
Mere communication, however,
is not enough. Not only does the
administration need to be receptive
to student opinion on this particular issue as well as all others
affecting the University communitybut it must assure students
have a representative role in the
final decision as to where or if
the new stadium is constructed.

Greeks are puzzled by the reader.
While we can sympathize with
the author's complaint about the
volume of the music on the days
in question, we certainly feel this
no justification to embark on a
tirade castigating "rock and roll"
music. Obviously it wasn't the
volume but the type of music that
underlined her complaint. Hence,
she is using the former as a facade
to explicate her bias of the latter.
Would it really make any difference
to her neighbors if Igor Stravinsky
was blaring away at full volume
rather than the Reatles? Apparently, the author spent too much time
studying humanities, for Aristotle
(a Greek) would shudder at her
blatent circular reasoning.
Concerning her rather slanderous attitude toward the "Greeks"
(which she mysteriously connected
to her musical prejudice), it is
our feeling that the author is again
misdirecting her logical capacities
(?). She was under the impression
that the fraternities were committed
To the

to uphold the "highly developed"
and "ancient" Greek culture. Further, she asserts that this impression
was
erroneous
because
the
"Greeks" listen to "auditory garbage". Thus, we are led to believe that somehow music assimilates intellectualism and reason.
If her naivete will allow her to
believe this, we feel it would also
allow her to believe that German-towPa. is a Nazi outpost.
The author's original intention
was understandable, but her frus
trated intellectualism got the better
of her intention. We are hopeful
that she first pursues the art of
thinking before attempting to inculcate us with her preference of
music.

The President's Club
Relying on status appeal, the
President s Club has proved to be
g
an unusually successful
method. And, like the

Campaign financing continues
to be the Achilles' heel of American democracy. Election campaigns in the United States are
unbelievably expensive. Parties
and candidates are forced to think
up clever means to raise the vast
sums needed to pay for high-cocampaign advertising. They frequently turn for contributions to
sources some of which could conceivably stand to gain substantially from government favoritism.
The opportunities for corruption
and the consequent suspicion of
corruption can be removed. Political scientists believe that, whatever the difficulties, wise and
adequate laws relating to campaign
financing can be drafted and enforced.
No one would argue that present
laws are in the least adequate.
President Johnson submitted a bill
to Congress proposing a new law.
It would help by requiring more
disclosure, encouraging gifts by
smaller contributors, and closing
some of the present loopholes. Still,
it is a bare beginning.
At the same time that this bill
would help to reduce dependence
on the large contributor, Mr. Johnson is using the President's Club
as a device to attract to party
coffers gifts of $1,000 or more.

have no place in politics.
It is not necessary to adopt
Theodore Roosevelt's suggestion
that the government pay campaign
expenses by appropriating funds
directly to the parties. Helpful
measures could include: voluntary
agreements to limit advertising expenditures, tax incentive programs
for the small contributor, laws providing for shorter campaigns, the
application of campaign contribution laws to primaries and conventions, the establishment of proper
accounting methods, and the disclosing and publicizing of actual
contributions and expenditures.
The President's Club raises suspicions of influence peddling and
corruption, involving the highest
office of the land. However reluctant he may be to give up
a lucrative source of party income,
President Johnson owes it to the
people to preside at the dissolution
of this club and to do it now.
