UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

Vol. LXIf, No. 48

Administrators Say They
Aided FBI Campus Probe
By WENDY WRIGHT

Kernel Staff Writer
The Office of the Dean of Students admitted Monday to supplying class enrollment records of
Dr. Gene Mason's class, Political
Science 390, to "a federal agency," presumably the Federal
reau of Investigation.
In a statement issued by Dean
of Student Jack Hall and Vice
President for Student Affairs Robert Zumwinkle, the office said
in defense of its action that "the
request pertained not only to the
possibility of violation of law but
to the physical safety and welfare
of the University community."

Calbraith Investigated
The furnishing of the records
to the agency centered around
an FBI investigation of Gatewood
Calbraith, a participant in the
class, though not officially enrolled.
The investigation arose from
a comment made by Calbraith
in the aftermath of the trial of Dr.
Phi lip Crossen i n conn ection with
charges made after a rock festival
held on Crossen's farm.

"In our judgment," continues
In every case, the official said,

"Kentucky state law (K.R.S.
164.283-5- )
prescribes that: 'All
student records shall be made
available upon request to any
federal, state, or local law enforcement agency and any court
of law.'
"Furthrmore", the statement
said, "the University was acting
in the interest of protecting mem-bersthe University community
against possible serious physical
harm. The information made
available was a list of students
enrolled in the class; no grades
and no information of a confidential nature were involved."
Actually, the furnishing of the
class records to the agents did
not directly facilitate the FBI
investigation. As Calbraith was
not enrolled in Political Science
390, no record could show his
attendance in the class.

Offense Not Specified

Football Player Suspended
The dean said Clymer's suspension was effective immediately and that he will lose academic
credit for the current semester,
although he will be elgible to return to the University at the beginning of the Spring semester.
Dean Hall did not specify the
nature of Clymer's offense, although he noted that his office
had the power to initiate suspension proceedings against the student because he already was on
undated suspension for beating
an Indian student here last
spring.

Dean of Students Jack Hall
said Monday that his office was
suspending Lee Alan Clymer, UK
sophomore and member of the
football squad, because of a violation of the code of student
conduct.
The student code defines suspension as "forced withdrawal
from the University for a specified period of time, including
exclusion from classes, termina-- ,
tion of student status and all
related privileges and activities,
and exclusion from the campus
if set forth in the notice of sus-

pension."

was found guilty of any further
violation of the student code,
the suspension would become
effective immediatly.

Clymer signed a waiver in
Dean Hall's office at 4:30 p.m.
Monday, agreeing to the terms
of the suspension, which under
the code does not require further
hearing before a hearing board.

But after 11 years, the odds
began to pile up against him. In
early 19G9, Dean Acheson, onetime U.S. secretary of state, predicted De Caulle was on his
way out, saying: "The daringold
man on the flying trapeze is
performing against the increasing
loss of equipment. He is already
working without a net and will
soon be without a trapeze. The
crash cannot be long delayed."

bey-Ies--

It was not. In April that year,
De Caulle staked his future on a
referendum vote for government
centralization and Senate reform,
saying he would resign if the voters rejected it.
Later, in the face of polls
forecasting defeat, he declared in
ada nationwide
dress on the eve of the vote that
he would "right away" stop being president if "I am disavowed."

Nov. 22, 1890.
De Caulle stamped his personal imprint upon France with
the force of a Napoleon.
Nurtured and sustained by crisis, his stature was highest when
his nation's fortunes were lowest.
He marched alone and made
political capital of his solitude.
"De Gaulle is not on the left,"
he once said. "Nor on the right.
Nor in the center. He is above."
He was, throughout his long
political career, consistently arrogant. He claimed all his actions and statements and demands were intended for the
greatness and the grandeur of
France.
After he emerged from
obscurity in 1958 and
assumed power, the austere general ruled like a benevolent despot. He treated his Cabinet ministers as if they were disorderly
schoolboys. On foreign policy he
answered to no one. He jarred
nation after nation, including his
own.

Seven investigators for the National Education Association visited about 15 Kentucky schools
Monday and talked with school
teachers, administrators, parents
and the general public.
g
The
team planned
to visit more schools Tuesday in
its week-lon- g
probe of the state's
public education system which
could lead to sanctions against
the state.
NEA officials said the schools
visited Monday were chosen because they have "extremely serious school financing problems"
or are located in urban areas.
Among the conditions reportedly found by the investigators
were:
A bathroom found without
water and auditorium seats with
no bottoms at Meade Memorial
Elementary School, Williams-por- t.

t

A modem language laboratory, woodworking area and gymnasium at Hart County High
School, in its third year of operation.
Overcrowding at Campbell
County High School.
Much of the inquiry was conducted in private and most of
the investigators were reluctant
to talk to newsmen about their
findings.
The probe was requested by
the Kentucky Education Association last winter after Gov. Louie
B. Nunn and the General Assembly refused to approve most
of the KEA's legislative requests.
If the NEA Imposes sanctions
on Kentucky, it would tend to
discourage teachers and businesses from locating in the state.

Introducing the most absorbent

'Almost'

Anti-Wa- r

By LARRY KIELKOPF
The first of two films shown
in the Student Center Theatre
Monday night, "War" wasavery
effective, if at times oversimplified, commentary on the absurd
and irrational way in which
nations resolve their international disagreements.
The other film, "The Bridge,"
shows what happens when seven
young Cerman draftees of World
War II are told to defend the
Fatherland and learn that the

portion they are assigned to defend, the bridge, has been marked
for destruction by their comrades.
In "War," the main vehicle
of expression consists of a debate
between the narrator, whose
voice represents the humanity
which must suffer the consequences of warfare, and various New York school children
who are basically nationalistic.
While the debate itself is engrossing, the fact that school
children are unfairly matched
against an adult is certainly a
weak point in the film. Conservatives viewing the film would
certainly be appalled.
If, however, one is willing to
accept the idea that the justi- -

then the film would probably be
seen without flaw.
The real power of "War" is
in its editing. Ralph Laube's interplay of drawings of ancient
warfare and actual film footage
of contemporary methods is the
major contribution to the film.

worth mentioning is a voice beginning a countdown. A visual
evolution of warfare takes place
and when the countdown reaches
zero, a nuclear explosion flashes
in eerie colors across the screen.
Another strong scene is a series
of speeches given by various leaders in various languages. No
translations were given but the
meaning was clear. Propaganda
by any other name smells as
"The Bridge" was something
else. If "The Bridge" is an antiwar movie, then so are the Frank
Sinatra -- Ernest Borgnine-ErrFlynn epics you see every night
after the 11 p.m. news.
"The Bridge" showed the horrors of war (at least those experienced by soldiers) but unlike
film it romantia good anti-wa- r
cized rather than dramaticized
those events.
No one gets upset when Anthony Quinn jumps into an enemy
bunker and saturates it with
fire. The victims are
machine-gu- n
other soldiers and, unlike innocent civilians, are just as morally
guilty as Quinn.
Likewise, in "The Bridge,"
no one can be too abhorred when

Directory. These covers would supposedly be available to fit over the
present phone book cover. However, rather than having irrelevant
quotes and misleading photographs, this cover would show some of
the good things about the University of Kentucky registration lines,
a football game, etc.
This is definitely an innovative idea with much potential for practical
application. It seems a shame it is limited to the phone book, perhaps
it should include all student publications. No longer should we be forced
to struggle through news stories which infuriate us. Instead, we could
paste our own version of what should have happened over the original
story. Likewise, the yearbook could contain several blank pages to allow
us to include some of the more pleasant aspects of our college experience as we view them.
Granted, the original idea to provide an alternative cover was a good
one until it became trite. Now everyone wants to provide their own
alternative cover. Steps have been taken to provide a large American
flag decal for those patriotic students who are offended by the present
cover. Other individuals are promoting the idea of a swastika to substitute for the cover.
To solve the problem of whose alternative we should accept, perhaps
we should designate a single student, chosen by popular election, to
design the cover of each year's phone book. That way, onlv the old
conservative idea of rule by majority would prevail.
But wait, isn't that how we got into this mess to begin with?

Hale letter. Ron Hale says the BSU will

BSU has consistently failed to take that
kind of action that would make that
threat credible. The BSU didn't face up
to guns and clubs last May even when
Jackson State followed Kent state.
The BSU's "sins of omission" are notorious. You have failed to establish any
kind of laision or communication with the
campus and the black community at a
alliance, and
time ripe for a freak-blac- k
when such an alliance would have a formidable effect on local politics. You have
failed to present any analysis or interpretation of the black experience at UK to
whites, so as to enlist them to drive out
racism here. What's more galling to freaks
is that you haven't aided us one damn
bit in fighting common enemies. I mean,
having the National Guard on campus isn't
good for blacks. Nor is a repressive Student Code. Nor having Nunn and Chandler
on the Board of Trustees.
In short, the UK BSU has the lowest
level of political consciousness and awareness of any black organization in the
country. This is shown by their action
of the last three years. All mentioned by
Mr. Cosby were very tame, and two (the
Miss BSU contests and the Homecoming
Queen entry) were downright revolting
because they exploitied women as sex
objects. The BSU is a laughingstock at
UK, and you always will be as long as
you stick to your own little corner of the
Crille. And putting me in the same bag
with Maddox and Agnew only confirms
that image with anyone who knows me
including Blacks. Honest Blacks.
