Integrated afhlefics: A progressive cooling off period

Editor’s note: This is the second article
in a three-part series dealing with in-
tegration in the SE(‘ and at l'K since lttfiil.

By STEVE SWIFT
Night News Editor

After all of the hullaballoo about in»
tegrating SICt‘ athletic teams in the spring
of 1963 everything died down in the fall. at
least in the press.

But the process had begun. and Ten-
nessee basketballcoach Ray Mears says it
came naturally.

“I’M FRUM (NIH) and we have been
integrated for years, You can't come to a
school and integrate when the school itself
hasn't integrated.“ Mears said . speaking
of his arrivalon the UT campus in 1962. “I
can‘t remember when it started but it
finally just seemed the natural thing to
do "

Editorials ”Wow," the opinion ot the Editonat Board, not the Unwersuty I

We propose, oil-1d propose, and..

By summing the recent Student
Government election as the most
undistinguised in recent I'K history,
one would hardly expect even the most
avid participants to loudly voice a
hearty disagreement.

()n this page two weeks ago. it was
pointed out that not one of the can-
didates was capable enough to
responsibly handle the SG president
and vice president positions—and our
opinion concurred with that of the
student body. only 13 percent of whom
cast votes in the smallest turnout in
eight years.

Yet not only were the candidates
unqualified. a few were downright
disgraceful. Had they been selected.
student government. which is
desperately trying to gain some
degree of respect from both their
peers and the university hierarchy.
may have been subjected certainly to
total inefficiency and probably to
extreme embarassment.

This year‘s roster included two
candidates who campaigned in
Arabian outfits. one sore loser who
has frivolously charged corruption
since Day One. and another-the
winner. in fact—who may con-
ceivably take his role like any other
student who has a part-time job.

Thus. it seems evident that
revision in the election process is
sorely needed to weed out the un-
motivated. unserious candidates and
inject a bit of professionalism into the
election.

One method of determining sincere
interest would require a candidate to
petition for a certain amount of
signatures. At West Virginia
L'niversity. where nearly 30 percent
of the student body usually vote.
candidates are required to obtain
signatures from five percent. And
Ohio State candidates need 10 percent
of the number of voters in the
previous election.

Not only would this procedure in-
dicate that a candidate has a minimal
amount of support to contend for the
seat. but it is also evidence that he‘s
willing to put some. sensible effort into
the race.

In addition. a candidate should
exhibit some financial committment
by placing a nominal deposit for
running like the $20 charged by Penn

State‘s student government. This. too.
would serve a dual purposemrefunds
would be withheld until posters and
leaflets are removed from the
campus. And of all the flimsy cam-
paign rules. poster removal. by far. is
the most abused.

Another test for interest would be to
schedule the election two weeks after
spring break. Instead of forcing
voters to wait for last-minute
platforms. this would force can-
didates to register before spring
break. prepare their strategy during
the break and allow for two solid
weeks of campaigning before election
day

The rescheduling would also leave
time for a runoff involving the top two
or three candidates. provided no
candidate has garnered a clear-cut
majority of the votes. By trimming
the contestants to a more manageable
number. issues and platforms would
come more clearly into focus and
allow voters to distinguish between
candidates. as opposed to having to
ferret out vague differences among
one of many similar candidates.

The runoff. to be scheduled a week
after the ”primary“ if necessary.
would provide for a week of intense
campaigning and would surely in-
crease the voting turnout. A possible
alternative. now used at Indiana

 

l‘niversity. requires a candidate to
gain 40 percent of the vote to avoid a
runoff,

Besides insuring more time for the
candidates to campaign. the earlier
election date would give the winner
extra hours to organize for his year—
long term. Uur current late-semester
election is held at a time when
students are understandably more
concerned with other matters. and it
allows little time for the elected to
prepare.

Another touch of professionalism
would be to replace paper balloting.
which is prone to ineffectiveness and
even cheating. with voting booths.

Some university—owned booths are
resting comfortably~and unused-~ in
the Reynolds Building. Their in-
stallation costs a mere $25 apiece.
Only a few would be needed since
voting areas like Erikson and An-
derson llalls. where about St) to To
votes were cast at each for both days.
could easily be eliminated,

Furthermore. automatic tallying
which booths so conveniently provide
would end the absurd earlymorning
wait for the outcomes as tired elee
tions board members slowly count
ballots by hand.

Granted. our young government
must learn by experience But the
imperfections in our present system
do not befit the importance of the
election.

8G forums. where candidates
monotonously repeated their plat-
forms night afler night. should aim
more for debates Actually. forums
would be discarded completely to

instill tnore personal campaign
initiative in the candidates. ()ther
more active universities have sur»

vived without forums. So can we.

In addition. all candidates should be
allowed equal access to St} printing
equipment. Now candidates with
outside connections for publishing
posters and leaflets have an unfair
advantage.

()ur suggestions. and certainly
more we have not touched on. would
tend to equalize the opportunities for
all candidates. The decisive factor.
then. would be sheer effort. And effort
was an ingredient most noticably
lacking in this year‘s election.

Hopefully. it won‘t happen again.

Whitewash

Ry MARY Mcthth
The Washington Star-News

WASHINGTON lt figured that
Watergate would be somebody else's fault.
We learn from the ()val Room that while
Richard Nixon is responsible, we are all to
blame.

“The lesson is clear," he said toward the
end of an ambiguous and anti-climactic
speech. “America must not again fall into
the trap of letting the end, no matter how
great, justify the means."

We all, it follows from that, figuratively
put on rubber gloves the night of June 16
and broke into the Democratic National
(‘ommittee Headquarters to put in or take
out bugs. and open a few desks ~ in the
noble cause of reelecting Richard Nixon.

Why did we do it'.’

The President is still of two minds about
the whole thing

(in the one hand, he tells us now, he was
“appalled” and "shocked" when he heard
about it. even though at the time, his press
st cretary refused to comment on “a third-
ratc burglary.”

(in the other hand. the President can see
how it happened.

"I know how it can be very easy under
this intense pressure to fall into shady
tactics." said the man who was formally
charged \\llll them in his 1962 (‘alifornia
campaign

The majority of people in politics, he
hastened to assure us in Congress, the
federal government and the state
government. are “good people."

(in the other hand, they all play dirty
tricks in campaigns.

“Both of our great parties have been
guilty of such tactics in the past." he
revealed.

The Watergate breakin was “a senseless
and illegal act.” he says.

But we must remember that it ”may
have been a response by one side to the
excesses or the expected excesses of the
other side."

The “other side" at that moment was a
storefront headquarters on (.‘apitol Hill.
and nobody has yet said that anybody in
the McGovern lieadquartersAwalthough
they did harbor “excessive zeal" about
defeating Richard Nixon were laun-
dering money or burning government
documents.

Jean-Pierre Lattont/Gamma

Although bad judgment and “excessive
zeal“ were involved, no people the
President knows were implicated.

(‘ertainly not Bob Haldeman and John
Hhrlichman. ”two of the finest public
servants it has been my privilege to
know." and whose resignations were of—

at the White House

fered out of a sensitivity to the appearance
of things.

Certainly not Richard Kleindienst, “a
distinguished public servant and my
personal friend for 20 years."

The President cannot, however, vouch
for another departing White House aide. In
the starkest sentence in the speech, he
said: “The counsel to the President, John
Dean, has also resigned." Presumably it
was young Dean who deceived the
President and the public with his false
reports.

And while the charges arising out of the
matter have raised ”serious questions
about the integrity ofthe White House" the
President is bowing out of the whole affair.

“i must now turn my full attention once
again to the larger duties of this office," he
explained.

Elliot Richardson has moved over from
the Defense Department to take charge.
He will name a special prosecutor if he
must. The President has to go and meet
Willy Brandt.

The public must have faith in the
system. We are to trust the judicial
system, even though in one of the squalid
ramifications of the case. we have just
learned that the President invited the
judge in the Ellsberg trial to San Clemente
recently and dangled the directorship of
the FBI before him.

We are to trust the Justice Department.
which took 10 days to inform the same
judge that it had evidence that two of the
Watergate defendants had broken into the
files of Ellsberg's psychiatrist.

We are to trust the "vigorous free
press." even though his admired
associates, Haldeman and Ehrlichman,
blamed its “innuendoes and allegations"
for their troubles.

The President did not confide the findngs
of his own investigations, the “major
developments" which caused the scales to
fall from his eyes.

“Some people," he said. “are saying the
Watergate demonstrates the bankruptcy
of the American political system." He is
the only one to register such a view of the
matter. Most people, including furious
Republicans, are saying it is the foulest
scandal ever to befall the GOP.

It seems unlikely they will be moved by
the President's plea for prayers. What
they wanted was facts. not rationalizations
and contradictions.

Hall's not the one, former 56 head says

By STEVE BRIGHT

Seldom has the Kernel taken a more
unsound editorial stand than it did last
week in its endorsement of Dean Jack Hall
for the metro council.

Dean Hall should receive student en-
dorsement for nothing other than his
immediate retirement.

There is no conceivable reason why the
new government should be burdened
during its initial years of existence with a
hatchet man and wheelerdealer like Jack
Hall. [t is even more difficult to imagine
how this man who delights so much in
doing the University‘s dirty work could
possibly make a positive contribution to
the newlyx'reated government.

The Kernel suggests that Hall‘s
regressive views on campus questions are
irrelevant to the positions he would
assume as a representative of the far more
conservative Lexington community. Hall
the councilman would be more
enlightened than Hall the Dean. Although
observers of the “can have seldom seen

him inhibited by principle, it is even more
rare to see him take a position unpopular
with Kentucky's more powerful, more
conservative elements.

The Kernel tells us that resistance to
pressure groups is one of Hall's special
talents. If so, it has yet to be exhibited.

He has shown a remarkable ability to
conform to the desires of the UK Board of
Trustees and upper echelon ad~
ministrators in his pursuit of student
demonstrators, the harassment of un-
popular viewpoints and his efforts to make
the University as stagnant and unin-
teresting as possible

"Flexibility“ might be more ap-
propriately cited as one of Hall's strong
points. He can shift the minute the wind
changes.

Three years ago when state hostility
toward student demonstrators was at its
height, Hall staged an elaborate
production in which his office prosecuted
the students for violations of university
rules. Hall was the star witness in almost

every case.

He went to great lengths to bring back to
campus during the summer a judicial
board which would be more likely to
convict the students than the newly ap-
pointed one. But when even this judicial
board refused to do the Dean‘s bidding and
his lack of credibility as a witness became
increasingly embarrassing. Hall lost his
enthusiasm for the project. and some of
the charges were never heard. (They were
never dismissed either, leaving some
students charged. but never tried.>

It is on such fundamental questions of
integrity and fairness that Hall is most
severely delinquent. His testimony before
the Judicial Board has been refuted, his
negotiating sessions with students charged
with university violations are notorious.
and his dealings with student groups has
been less than evenrhanded.

The Dean is often in a controversial
position ”is jx-rformance in the past does
not give one confidence that he will be able
to resist the temptation to exploit campus

issues for political gain off campus.
Several years ago the Dean ventured down
town to assure a Lexington civic club that
student activities were just having
“temper tantrums" which they missed
when younger.

This kind of behavior can only move the
Dean further away from the students he
has so successfully alienated from his
office during his tenure as Dean.

We must hope that the Kernel con»
sidered each of Hall's eight opponents
carefully before endorsing the Dean To
have done otherwise would of course have
been irresponsible Perhaps the Dean was
found to be least of the evils.

But the Kernel has yet to share its in-
,tormation on the other candidates with its
readers. Before you vote for Hall. find out
about his opponents. Then. if you still
consider this minor league HR Haldeman
the least of the evils, consider a write-in
