Several hundred thousand
people in 18 cities demonstrated
against the war in Vietnam Saturday.
The largest demonstration was
in New York City, where alxmt

participated in the demonstration. The New York Times
counted 87,000 marchers, but
there were several thousand more
who did not march but went
directly to the Central Park rally

site.
There were actually four
marches in New York. The two
major parades went down either
side of Central Park and converged in Sheep Meadow for a
rally at which they heard Mrs.
Martin Luther King, New York
Mayor John Lindsay, the Rev.
William Sloan Coffin, and 16
other speakers.

from Youth Against War and

bus Circle. They had quit the
main demonstration because of
the invitation extended to Lindsay to speak and intended to
march without a parade permit.
After they had gathered in
Washington Square, they were
attacked by K)lice, many of whom
were dressed as marchers, and
143 were arrested. The police
dragged many of the demonstrators to the ground, beat and
kicked some of them, and attempted to keep photographers from taking pictures.
The fourth parade was the
29th annual "Loyalty Day" parade, which drew 6,600 people,
the smallest crowd in its history.
The parade was in support of
American troops in Vietnam.
Mayor Lindsay, who had
spoken to the Loyalty Day marchers earlier, also spoke to the
anti-wa- r
marchers and told them
he had come there "to restate
my opposition to the conduct of

the war."

Although Lindsay was interrupted by applause five times,
he was later attacked by several
of the speakers for the police
action at Washington Square and
for calling in police at Columbia
University where the students
have taken over five buildings.
Outside of Mrs. King, Coffin
a former chaplin at Yale University who was indicted for draft

counseling drew the loudest applause. "The task today is not
to make the world safe for American democracy," he told the
crowd. "It is to make American
democracy safe for the world."

Highlights of other demonstrations around the country:
About 1,500 persons filled the
San Francisco Civic Center to
hear deposed heavyweight boxing champion Muhammed Ali.
He was both cheered and looed

Draft counseling on a regular

The counseling will beoffered
on Tuesdays and Thursdays from
5 to 7 p.m. in Room 251 of the
Student Center.
Local reserve officers will be
doing the counseling, and the
announced hours could be extended if there is sufficient demand.
General information or answers to specific problems in connection with the draft will be
dealth with. The counseling will
be done on a private basis, a
source reiorts.
The state Selective Service
originated the counseling after
a group of students expressed
interest in the idea at a meeting with Col. Taylor L. Davidson, head of the Kentucky Selective Service.

State Administration negotiated
with leaders of the protest, and
agreed to their four demands,
the students left the building.
Among the concessions made
by the university's officials were
agreeing to add more black professors to the faculty and prom-

ising to set up a course in Negro
history.
At Columbia, a group of students calling themselves the

Kernel Forum: the readers write
Grand Jury

To the Editor of the Kernel:
When the Fayette County Grand Jury,
taking time from its imposingly important
schedule, has seen fit to make this great
county a haven for "worthwhile" citizens by dissolving conditions which permit "the unwashed few (of Davistown,
the Manchester area, Pralltown, and the
North Side) to flaunt the standards of
conduct followed by the great majority"
then maybe the University will clean
up its horrid campus.
I would presume that the great ma'
jority would attempt regeneration rather
than elimination of its "unwashed few."
Might not this too be a purpose of the
University?
Richard VV. Franklin
English, Senior

Views on Silcr

To the Editor of the Kernel:
Mr. Eugene Siler, a Republican candidate for nomination for the U.S. Senate,
is iK'aring false witness against his neigh-lx- r,
when he says "The Kremlin furnished money to the looters in Chicago,"
recently at the University of Kentucky's
"Young Republican Club". The American Negro is free and equal contrary
to what Mr. Siler says.
The minority group that Mr. Siler
represents are the busylxdies that impede
the colored mans right to enjoy his freedom and equality. Mr. Siler sounds like
a Ceorge Wallace Democrat.
Duane F. Olson
The Independent nominee for
the U.S. Senate
Thought-Provokin- g

To the Editor of the Kernel:
The SDS may be a bunch of harmless neurotics, and I can believe they
hand out obscene (I think the Lexington
Crand Jury means subversive rather than
titilating although the best word would
probably be amusing) literature, but they
have brought the University of Kentucky
one of its most intelligent and thought
provoking speakers all year. This is more
than some Kennedy supporters could do.
He hasn't turned me into a Communist
but he has modified my vision of them
as a bunch of irresponsible villains. I
only hope his "antithesis" is goingaround
some Communist countries explaining
Capitalism; it isn't so bad either.

P.S. Many thanks to the Lexington
for suggesting some cool hangouts; I tiiought this crummy little town
was dead. Now if only they could be a
little more explicit about the illegal drug
traffic.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
Here at Kentucky, we have established
a basketball tradition and many records
that will never be equalled. However,
even with the Coach Rupp tradition it
seems that we have no excuse for such
a poorly balanced athletic program.
Everyone complains about our football teams and coaches, so I'm going to
devote time to another "minor" sport at
Kentucky (baseball) sometimes called
our national pastime.
Why is it Kentucky's baseball program
is so far behind other schools of comparative size? (At times even much smaller schools have taken a pretty big whack
out of Kentucky pride.)
One problem seems to be that when
we get a good player we can't hold on
to him. Cood example is a fellow named
Jim Cain who now plays for Eastern.
(And had three hits as Eastern won
Kentucky had only two hits.)
There are two other examples I can
think of whose names I won't relate.
One is no longer here at Kentucky as
lie now plays ball with the Pittsburg
Pirates organization. (He was cut from
Kentucky's team for some odd reason.)
The other is still at the University
and is quite active in many campus
activities. He was also cut from a Kentucky squad and has since played ball
with the San Francisco Ciants organization.
These examples of Kentucky's shortcomings I know of just by coincidence.
No doubt there have been many others
who have come along that weren't qualified to play Kentucky's brand of ball.
Losing ball!
