Trustees approve land deal,
Student Code revisions

By JENNY SWARTZ
News Editor
Student Code revisions, including the
elimination of expulsion, were approved
and the purchase of a $900,000 parcel of
land between Limestone and Rose streets
was authorized Tuesday by the Board of

Trustees.
Both the Advisory Committee on Student

Code Revision and President Otis A.
Singletary recommended the elimination
of Article 1. section 1.57 which deals solely
with expulsion and the last clause of
section 1.56, in which a dismissed student
will still be subject to expulsion. The
Board’s Student Code Revision Committee
however rejected that recommendation.

AN AMENDME. '1‘. introduced by
Student Government President Jim Flegle
and seconded by trustee Tommy Bell,
added the elimination of this section in the
recommended revisions. The Board ap-
proved the amendment by a 10-4 margin
and then unanimously approved the
amended recommendations.

George W. Griffin Jr., chairman of the
code revision committee, said he thought
the section “was valid in the past and is
still valid. The committee thinks it should
be retained under the Code of Student
Conduct.“

Flcgle said the section dealing with
expulsion presupposes the expelled
student will never change. This type of
disciplinary action is not needed to protect
the University, he said.

SINGLETARY pointed out that the
present rule left administrators no option
as it was ”set in concrete so it can‘t be
considered at another time.”

Flegle introduced another amendment
calling for the. elimination of Article VI
from the code.

“The article is too broad and vague,
Flegle said. Hecited section 6.1 and 6.11 as
examples in the article which “never
define the entirety of offenses.“

SECTION 6.1 states ”No student shall
engage in interference. coercion or
disruption with relation to University
missions, processes, functions or per-
sonnel."

Flegle expressed his confidence in the
present administration to not abuse the
widelatitude of the article. but pointed out.
“We fear the future actions of others when
this administration is gone."

This amendment died from lack of a
second.

Arthur Goldberg told a small crowd
Tuesday night the controversial issue of

Goldberg said it is established Supreme

concern are entitled to be aired in the
market place to compete with opposing
viewpoints.

in his hour-long speech that concluded
Student Government‘s Focus Forum on
"Obscenity and the Law“. Goldberg
spoke of the recent Supreme Court

“THE Sl'PRl-IME COURT has

a step closer to being realized when the
Board authorized Lawrence E. Forgy. vice
president for business affairs and
treasurer. to purchase from the Fayette
(‘ounty Board of Education the Jefferson
Davis School and Heber Field property.

George Ruschell. assistant vice
president for business affairs, said the
development plan is to own all the

newspapers, movies and other com‘
munication media," Goldberg said.

The constitutional protection for free
speech has already extended far beyond
what the framers intended, and justifiably
so. he added.

Goldberg said he believed in the most
free exchange of ideas and decried cen-
sorship. But, he added, he deplored pan-
dering of shoddy merchandising for the
sheer sake of profit-making.

“THE LINE IS not easy to draw between
material which is worthwhile and that
which, by any standard, lacks any social
or artistic value,” Goldberg said.

Commenting on the June 1973 Supreme
Court decision, he said standards should
be applied nau'nnally instead of by in-
dividual communities.

“We are one nation, and the con-
stitutional safeguards and protections

AT THE conclusion of his speech,
Goldberg said he would rather have talked
about the impeachment of the President
instead of obscenity.

When questioned about impeachment,
Goldberg said there has been sufficient
cause to undertake impeachment
procedures against Nixon and it is his duty
to cooperate.

The former Associate Justice said he
believed in the Constitution, which
provides for impeachment for high crimes
and misdemeanors.

He stressed that does not mean ordinary
criminal offenses but means “gross abuse
of national trust." He said it is the duty of
Congress to pursue impeachment
proceedings to the end and the duty of the
people to support the result.

Benign neglect

(‘ampus interest in Student Government elections
borders on benign neglect. The last SG Presidential
election produced the lowest voter turnout in years.
and subsequently proved the axiom "you get what
you deserve."

There is little to indicate the situation has changed.
Six senatorial seats are uncontested. two have no
candidates. and there are only tw icandidates for the
presidency

Apathy can‘t be pinned down to any one source. but
the candidates are doing little to rectify the situation.

Monday night‘s SG forum for presidential and vice
presidential candidates may have convinced some
that SG should be disbanded rather than ignored. The
forum was saved from becoming an exercise in
banality only because of the short time allotted to
actual issue content.

The majority of discussion centered on what one
candidate termed a "glamour issue." He argued for
twenty minutes that too much time was spent on
points that needn‘t be discussed. In his own way, he
was right.

Student involvement was examined. All were tn
l'avor of generating student interest. but none was
specific on how to go about it.

Monday night provided the stark realization it is a
very short step from high school to university.

Troubles at John

Itlt'llMlDXI). \"a. — The time
of troubles here at John Marshall
High School are past. It‘s been
several years at least since the
students were brawling with each

black institution.

Around the table are five white
students and a black English

“\‘Ul (‘\.\"T learn anything

the students says. and the others
agree that black history. black

domtnate what happens in most
classrooms most of the time

This is all said and agreed to in
good humor. For the most part
these white students seem
pleasedthat the busing has given
them a chance to meet black
students. But no one at the table
thinks it has done much more
than that. They are disdainful of
the white flight. as they con-
stantly refer to it. because they
think it has contributed to the

academic destruction of their
school

School may be perfect for them
and for black kids of similar
background. But the un-bookish
black students only get what the
girl at the table call. “a fake
sense of their own intelligence."
While motivated white kids are
profiting from adversity. the
black kids are being ruined by
educational fads. racial politics
and rotten standards of pedagogy
and administration.

“The reason for wanting the
busing was that nobody would put
money into a school unless there
were white kids in it. This isn‘t
what we wanted." says the black
teacher. referring to times past
during the integration struggle.
No one could have foreseen that
so many strange ideas were

yellow buses. but they have.
giving rise to what you might call
a malign neglect.

FOR THE retreating whites.
teachers. administrators and
parents. it is easier to turn over a
school system that you're leaving
than stand and insist that black

kids should be made to learn to
read. In a way you can't blame
them; it's hard enough to teach
such skills without being called
an institutional racist. too.

In this negligence. they are
abetted by a growing number of
black, civil service teachers who
are willing to betray their calling
and their students by letting them
think the right attitude toward
nationalism. politics or culture is
the same as competence and
proficiency.

The graduates from this
system can recycle back into it as
teachers or hold down jobs as
part of the black percentage that
white organizations hire so as not
to be sued for discrimination.

We have come full circle. with
blacks again having their own
schools with their own teachers
with their own second-class
standards. but now after so many
people went to jail and died. they
say it's all right.

Martin Luther King: brotherhood a way of life

By ROBERT JLVIES JONES

Perhaps no other single man in the
history of the United States. or the world.
has been as influential in propounding the
necessity, even the urgency. of Christian
brotherhood as the Reverend Dr. Martin
Luther King. Jr. The deep Christian faith
of his parents provided the climate for his
early commitment to Jesus Christ. The
words and actions of Dr. King encouraged.
inspired (and continue to encourage and
inspire) millions of people throughout the
world. To many. even the slightest notion
that this great personality (who com-
manded the attention and respect of all
people regardless of race. religion.
socioeconomic status. how low or how
humble their circumstancest could have
succumbed from an assassins bullet was
so distant. so remote. it didn‘t even bear
thinking on or reflecting about. But Dr.
King did fall by an assassin's bullet and
“left us." (as Father Burtenshaw stated in
his tribute to the late Ralph McGill of the
Atlanta Constitution) "with the mere
echoes of his greatness."

IN HIS SPEECHES and writings. the
Reverend Martin Luther King. Jr. painted
his vision of an America without racial
prejudice and. eloquently voiced. his
criticism of discrimination in American
Society. Here are excerpts from that
record:

From Stride Toward Freedom. 1958:
“History has thrust upon our generation
an indescribably important destiny ~ to
complete a process of democratization
which our nation has too long developed
too slowly ”

1963 (After the bombing of a church in
Birmingham where four little girls were
killed): “In the spirit of the darkness of
this hour. we must not despair. we must
not become bitter _. we must not lose faith
in our white brothers "

From Vt h) We (‘an‘t Wait. 1964: “As one
approaches the emancipation of today's
Negro from all those traumatic ties that
still bind him to slaveries other than the
physical. this half~forgotten system that
bartered dignity for dollars stands as a
painful reminder of the capacity of society
to remain complacent in the midst of in-
Justice. There is a terrible parallel bet-
ween the greedy hand of a slave trafficker
who sold a Negro his own person. and the
admonishing finger of people who say.
”what more will the Negro expect if he
gains integrated schools. public facilities.
voting rights and progress in housing'."
What is implied here is the amazing
assumption that soCIety has the right to
bargain with the Negro for the freedom
which inherently belongs to him.”

From (In Marching To Civil Rights
From Selma To Montgomery: “Like an
idea whose time has come. not even the
marching of mighty armies can halt us.“

From ()n Marching For (‘ivil Rights:
"Let us march on poverty. Let us march
on ballot boxes until race baiters disap-
pear from the political arena. until the
Wallaces of our nation tremble away in
sHenceT‘

All the information and—or-quotations
above are excellent and. I think a fitting
tribute toa man of Dr. King's caliber. but I
would like to look at some other authors
and-or personalities that speak more
immediately to the situation presently
confronting black students on this campus
before I conclude my argument. Here. I
refer mainly to the epilogue to Larry
King's ('onfessions ()f .\ White Racist and
Jess Lair’s I \in't \Ilich Baby. But I‘m All
I‘ve (not.

 

 

 

 

In the epilogue to Larry King’s (‘on-
fessions tit A White Racist. Roger Wilkins
mentions the following:

"In the serious and frivolous places of
power. America was still virtually lily
white. And most of the people in that room
were reveling in it. What. I wondered.
would it take for them to understand that
men also come in colors other than
white“ (pp. 171-2)

l TRL'ST THAT the reader knows the
circumstances surrounding the afore-
mentioned reaction and I won‘t bore him
here with needless details Suffice it to say
that as I read Roger Wilkins' powerful
description of his feelings as he perceived
the presence of white racism. my mind
began to wander away from the presence
of that dinner to the campus of the
L'niversity of Kentucky and. as it finally
arrived. I began to make an analogy
between that situation in which Wilkins
found himself and the situation of blacks
on this campus. I began to perceive the
situation here just as Wilkins had per-
ceived his situation there and to relate the
same questions to this campus:

“In the serious and frivolous places of
power. UK is still virtually lily white. And
most of the people here are reveling in it."
"What. I wonder. would it take for them to
understand that student and professors
also come in colorsother than white? " And
even as I looked at our situation and asked
those questions. I (like Roger Wilkinst
”shuddered at the answers that came
readily to mind."

But I don‘t blame white people merely
because they are white or for the way they
are. That is to be blamed on their parents
and society. But if they refuse to change.
refuse to put down their racist beliefs and
ideologies. then I refuse to continue
associating with them except in situations
where I have to. Lair pointed this out
perhaps better than anyone else I‘ve read
when he said: "For what I am today.
shame on my parents But if I stay that
way. shame on me." (p. 3.))

.INI) St). even though we (as black
studentSI find ourselves in such a “hostile
environment” as the l.'niversity of Ken-
tucky. some outspoken toes of Dr King
and the black community would advise

 

 

that we "abandon ‘this bold young captin.‘
“ that we “flee even from the presence of
his memory." But if these “watchful
observers” had really known "Martin."
then they “would know why we must honor
him." why “we will hallow him with a
sacred place in an integrated pantheon of

heroic Americans" (C. Eric Lincolns

Weep For The Living Dead). They would
knowthat Martin was. and still remains a

vision of hope for all oppressed people in
that he made a significant contribution to
ail men throughout the planet earth in
maintaining the dream of a non-violent
world where all persons irrespective of
color. nationality. or race can sit down
together at the table of brotherhood.

Are blacks doing everything
possible to make life pleasant?

By GEORGE (I WRIGHT

I have read with interest about the
controversy between the black students
and the Lniversity administration. That
racism exists. no sensibly thinking person
can deny. But. lam not writing to discuss
that subject. Others have explained
racism at [K accurately. I am more
concerned with whether blacks are doing
everything possible to make life more
pleasant at L'K for blacks. For as Harold
(‘t‘iise in The (‘risis of the Negro III-
tellectual stated. “the Negro's con-
ditioning has steered him into that per
petual state of suspended tension wherein
95 percent of his time and energy is ex
pended on fighting prejudice in whites. As
a result. he has neither the time nor the
inclination to realize that all of the effort
spent fighting prejudice will not obviate
those fundamental things an ethnic group
must do for itself

\s a black. I know that we have been
ingrained to never criticize each other.
especially in front of whites. Without
exception. the letters written by blacks to
the Kernel that I have read. have had
nothing but praise for Jerry Stevens and
thetitiit'eot Minority .\tt.iirs Yet I have
come in contact with black students who
would rather remain anonymous than be
condemned by other blacks who have
been displeased with Mr Stevens 'I‘hey

\a} lie and his staff do i er} little to help
blacks and are gust in their positions to
draw a pay check I know rumors are

cheap so I w ill use a personal example to
illustrate what these blacks are talking
about

HIRING .\IY SENIOR year at L'K in

available for blacks in graduate school
Not wanting to discuss my personal
finances with whites. I went to see .‘.Ir

In all fairness. maybe .\Ir Stevens was

Focus Forum sees debate
over definitions, human rights

By RON MITCHELL
Kernel Staff Writer
Classification of what should be
determined obscene was
discussed Tuesday by Dr. Wayne
ll Davis. L'K biology professor.
and the Rev. Winfrey C. Link. a
member of President Lyndon B.
Johnson‘s (‘ommission on Ob-

scenity.

During the debate. held in the
Student (‘enter Theatre as part of
Student Government's Focus
Forum. Davis and Link took op-
posite views on what constitutes
obscenity

porn movies.” said Link. a
Methodist minister

"It you are going to foster it on
me. that is just as wrong as me
denying you." he said. “So

That is why the answer is that we
have a set of laws in our nation
that brings about a compromise
so that we might enjoy and ap-
preciate life."

Davis asked whether he had
ever been forced to view a por-
nographic movie. Link replied
no. but said he found it offensive
to have to view publicly displayed
advertisements portraying
nudity.

[HHS THEN displayed
alcohol and cigarette ad-
vertisements which he said are
offensive to him but are not
regulated by
