Kernel Photo By Ken Weaver The University Student Advisory Committee (USAC) will use a University grant of approximately $300 to conduct a two-da- y seminar on the "quality of education" at UK, it was announced yesterday. Terry McCarty, a US AC member, said that the grant, which has been supplemented by private donations, will be used to bring speakers to the seminar and to conduct classes and symposiums. Highlighting the sessions will be a Monday night address by Dr. John R. Silber, former dean of the College of Art s and Sciences at the University of Texas, and now a professor. He will speak on "Problems of Undergraduate Teaching on a Large Campus." Student Covemment president Steve Bright will relate Silber's remarks to the current educational situation on the UK UK Professor Home Safe After Hijacking Engineering professor, said Wednesday he was still "a little ill but very happy" to be released by Jordanian guerrillas.

In one of those afternoon sessions, President Otis A. Singletary will conduct a history class. Singletary was a history professor at Louisiana State University early in his education career. Tuesday evening, Dr. Charles Deusner, a recipient of UK's Creat Teacher Award, will speak on "Undergraduate Educational Reforms and What the Main Campus Can Leam From the Community System." Miss McCarty said that USAC has encouraged teachers to devote their Monday and Tuesday classes to a discussion of the problems of education at UK. Faculty members were also asked to write evaluations of the seminar's activities and their class discussions. Some faculty members, she said, may conduct "experimental" classes using new teaching methods. The seminar, she said, will probably not result in any specific proposals for improvement in the University, but instead will be applied to proposals already under consideration by USAC. Pratt Plans 'People's Campaign9 By JERRY W. LEWIS Assistant Managing Editor On April 4, 1968, UK student Don B. Pratt of Lexington was tried for refusing induction into the U.S. Army. The versified closing part of his statement before the court that day read: "I find it somewhat hypocritical that we Value peace, but produce war,Value life, but produce death, Value freedom, but produce suppression and servitude,Value democracy, but produce no choiceThen you ask me to fight for our country here as well as abroad.Then you tell me that I must, fight or 'figjratively' die in prison.Tlien you interpret laws directed toward me to sanctify hypocritical beliefs." Pratt was sentenced to five years in prison and $10,000 for the stand he took. His case is still awaiting an appeal before the Supreme Court of the United States. Tonrrow, Oct. 2, Pratt stepsinto the courtroom again. Only, this time, he's making the charges. The former UK business administration major has filed a suit to get his name on the November ballot as an independent candidate for Congress from the sixth district of Kentucky. Pratt's petition for an independent candidacy was rejected Aug. 12 because it was .not filed 55 days in advance of the May primary elections as state law requires. Pratt's suit charges this law is unconstitutional. No Real Choice "We argue that having to register seven months in advance of the general election is too discriminatory, and it also doesn't offer me a real choice to run or not to run after the primary," Pratt explained. Judge James F. Cordon of the Western District of Kentucky is one of a three-judpanel who will hear Pratt's suit. He's the same judge who sentenced Pratt to prison in his 1908 draft case. ge "I hate to be paranoid about one judge," Pratt said, referring to Cordon. "Rut I think the argument is there and I think if this man upholds law he will uphold my case and order that my name be put on the ballot." Pratt seems serious when he talks about his bid for Congress. His hair is somewhat shorter than it used to be, although he still has his bicycle and w Of course, it's seldom glasses. w hen liis youthful sense of humor doesn't break through his serious ideas. He admitted he's looking forward to riding his bicycle through the hallways of Congress. Into The 'System Probably the one question that is asked of Pratt most is why he wants to get into the "system" he's been fighting so long. Pratt explained his reasons as twofold. "One, my opposition isn't worth voting John Watts (the incumbent Democrat) nor Cerald Cregory are the people who should be elected representatives of this area. Secondly I decided to run because of the happenings immediately following Kent State." Pratt went on to say that he went to Washington to lobby against "Nixon's invasion into Cambodia." This isn't the first time he has lobbied In the U.S. Capitol. Almost four years ago Pratt started visiting senators and voicing opposition to the war in Vietnam. Pratt said each time he has gone he has found "arrogance, ignorance, and an obvious lack of decision-making- " by the Continued on Paje 8, CoL 1 ' -V' for-nei- ther I n: f 1 i ; Y A - r. 1 repre-sentativ- -- DON PRATT j * 2 THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Thursday, Oct. 1, 1970 Hook Review Rosten Attacks Both Right and Left V 7 I: ,'V I . 1 UJ " i Skip Althoff discussed plans for the recently organized Food Co-owith its steering committee last night in the Student Center.

The Food Co-o- p is best described in its present planning stages, said Skip Althoff, Steering Committee Chairman, as a "purchasing club." Members of the "club" will place their orders with the manager, whose job it will be to compile the individual food orders of Co-o- p members into a master order, place the order, and make sure that the master order is delivered. He will then be in charge of distributing the merchandise to the proper individuals.

A nominal membership fee is designed to raise the necessary funds. Due to the present lack of capital, the committee said, the Co-o- p is prevented from dealing with perishables such as meats and frozen foods. The necessary expansion to accommodate these goods is hoped for later, the committee noted. Althoff also noted that "the co-o- p offers advantages other than getting food at a substantially lower rate."

In a retreat from last year's open door policy which resulted in the appearance of Dr. Timothy Leary, the Student Center Board is determined to avoid controversy in its selection of speakers for the coming year. The negative response by a large segment of the public following Dr. Leary's oration in which he claimed, "Marijuana is Cod's gift to mankind," seems to have affected this year's program. The pace of the Board's future excursions beyond reality is set to a more garden club atmosphere with the presentation of clairvoyant Jeanne Dixon as the year's initial speaker. 0N fsi LEA o . The reversal of policy is deemed an effort by the Student Center Board to remain apolitical. In this frenzied attempt, the Board has rejected plans to secure Black Panther Minister of Defense, Huey Newton. In a further instance it cancelled attempts to bring to the campus William F. Buckley Jr., editor of National Review and eloquent spokesman for the right. These decisions by the Board are more myopic than admirably apolitical, for it is important that students be exposed to their diverging opinions. In looking at the proper function of the university one must conclude that students should be confronted with ideologies which overstep their own precepts. The advancement of any society is determined in part by its willingness to face the unconventional with scrutiny; the future of the community lies in its ability to analyze the offerings of prophets, and to recognize truth from fallacy. In that the university should be the embodiment, rather. than the entombment, of intellectual growth, it must provide a forum for the unconventional whether radical or reactionary. The inability of the classroom to supply this forum necessitates supplemental pulpits where such concepts may be presented. A proper agency for this presentation is the speaker series. Returning to the University of Kentucky Student Center Board, it is pointed out that this board is one of the few campus groups with the money as well as organization needed to bring high quality speakers to the University. When this Board assumes a defensive stance and refuses to provide orators of unpopular or controversial persuasion, it fails to serve the academic community. When the Board secures speakers whose appeal to viewers of the Mike Douglas Show is uncontestable (but there is doubt to the value of their type of revelations to the University) it renders insult to the collegiate community. see Hn i&&P$0$M0RfLLiANT Kernel Forum: the readers write Code Revision To The Editor The following is a spontaneous reaction and nothing more: The Student Affairs committee which sponsored the open forum on the Code is attempting to revise certain sections particularly offensive to the rights of students. With this in mind, the achievement of the above depends on the assumption that the committee must function politically, and therefore squabble over words, drum up support for its efforts, deal with administrative hierarchies, and do the countless other political things that are functional and opportune in a educational system based heavily on politics. I, as a member of the committee, am not acquiescing to any idea that a student code is necessary.
