‘Be Critical, But Be Positive,’
Oswald Tells Leadership Meeting

By MARTIN E. WEBB

It was a cool Saturday rain
that welcomed students to the
third Leadership Conference at
Camahan House — a session
presided over by President John
W. Oswald.

”Be critical and be involved,"
the president told some 100 rep-
resentatives of student organiza—
tions, ”but offer positive soluo
tions. Don't just be against what
is.

He asserted that students can
be most influential in areas where
they have special competence.
Against this background he ques-
tioned the wisdom of permitting
any student to serve as a voting
member of the Board of Tms-
tees.

”How can a student effectively

deliberate on matters offinance,"
he asked, ”when his area ofcom—
petence is really in matters of
instruction and curriculum?"

Non voting Invitation -

Dr. Oswald said he has “in-
vited the Student Covemment
president to be at all meetings
of the board with a guarantee

that he will be heard," but in a,

non-voting capacity.

The president added that he
favors college deans organizing
students to help in the task of
faculty evaluation and the selec-
tion of courses.

”But if you want this role,"
he said, ”you must be active.
The student at the University is
not a customer."Advisory groups
should be organized," he con-

At Berkeley, They Put
LSD In Their Cookies

BERKELEY, Calif. (UPIl—University of California authorities
Sunday were investigating the possibility coeds were served LSD-
spiked cookies at a sociology class. campus at the home ot an un-

Two of the students, who ap-
parently were slipped the chemi-
cal without their knowledge, un—
derwent agonizing “bad trips"
and had to be hospitalized.

The incident occurred last
Week during a regularly sched-
uled seminar which was to have
been held in a campus class-
room, but instead was held off-

identified class member.

Both coeds became so emo-
tionally unglued they were taken
to Cowell Memorial Hospital on
the Berkeley campus. One was
released after a short stay, the
other only Saturday.

Who made the cookies and
passed them out to the unsus-
pecting students was not immed-
iately learned.

tinued “because you can’t do
anything on an individual level. "

As for proposals from Complex
Tower A student representatives
that women be allowed in men's
rooms in that dormitory, Dr. Os-
wald said ”any decision must be
consistent all over campus. We
must evolve a workable student
policy."

During a question period, the
dialogue went like this:

”Is the University moving to-
ward a residential type of col-
lege?"

“Yes, I think so. The idea is
for each college to have its own
residential area. This is what
we're hoping."

"Shouldn't students have the
right to choose where they live?"

”This is a question which has
both its pros and cons. It de-
serves more deliberation. "

“Is there a certain amount of
pressure on faculty to flunk a
certain percentage of freshmen?”

”No!"

“What direction will the Li-
brary most probably beexpanded
in?”

“In the direction of Maxwell
Manor. We're within two orthree
months of choosing an architect
now."

“There is a rumor going
around that eventually the Uni-
versity will do away with the
freshman and sophomore levels.
Is this true?"

”Absolutely not!”
'No Different'

Vol. LIX, No. 55

Oswald Suggests
“Oxford At UK’

President John W. Oswald outlined an ambitious vision Friday
that would make the Lexington campus similar in important
respects to the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

“Try to envision," Dr. Os-
wald said, “the new Complex
facility as two high'rise residen-
tial units with its eight low-rise
units as classrooms, library fa-
cilities and faculty ofiices.

“Here would be an oasis of
smallness—not just in a social
sense, but academically as well."

Oxford and Cambridge both
comprise numerous smaller col-
leges which serve as the academic
and social nucleus of their stu-
dents.

About 1,1le Students

The president added that such
a college-within-a-college would
grow no larger than from In!)
to 1,200 students. Those who
worked and lived there still would
use the main campus for certain
library and laboratory needs.

Dr. Oswald's remarks came
at an initiation dinner for four
engineering honorary societies.
The occasion also prompted him
to identify five major problem
areas in higher education:

k Crisis of numbers in under-
graduate programs.

) Size of graduate programs.

) Bigness of institutions at
large.

} Increased specialization.

} The university's role as a
"service" facility for the society
it is part of.

With regard to the final point,
the president predicted a sub-
siding of the teaching vs. re
search controversy, to be replaced
by discussion of teaching and re
search vs. the ”service to society"
role.

In addition to ”serving” so-
ciety, Dr. Oswald asserted that
higher education must be a critic
and evaluator of its society—“in
that the university is involved
in every facet of society."

The president also spoke of the
community college system, which
he said would grow from the four
colleges of 1962 to 14 small land-
grant institutions by September,
1%8.

Peaceful Pickets Await
Army Recruiters Here

Peaceful picketing and “counseling” Wednesday will greet
recruiters from the Army Chemical-Biological Warfare Center.

Prof. Robert Sedler, UK‘as-
sociate professor of law repre—
senting the Kentucky Civil Lib-
erties Union, told a group of
students (and some nonstudents)
in a three-hour meeting Sunday
night they would not violate the
Student Code by demonstrating
against recruiters in an orderly
fashion.

In addition, some protesters
plan to "counsel" students who
come to talk with recruiters.
Scheduled for distribution is a
leaflet headlined "Do You Want
To Be A War Criminal?"

Prof. Sedler told the group
it would have his support pro-
vided ”the legal do's and don'ts
of demonstrating" are respected.
He added he is certain the Uni-
versity administration will not
interfere with an orderly protest.

The right to protest was guar-
anteedin a letter from Vice Presi-
dent for Student Affairs Robert
L. Johnson, as long as, the letter
stated, protesters do not interfere
with hall traffic, make loud noises
or block doorways.

Protesters will meet at 10am.
Wednesday on the second floor of
the old Agricultural Science
Building.

Ad Hoccest
Of Ad Hoc

HANOVER—N. H. (CPS)
—There are ad hoc committees
and ad hoc committees, but one
of the ad hoccest in recent mem-
ory is one formed by a group of
Dartmouth College students to
deal with George Romney’s ar-
rival on campus.

The committee on George
Romney’s arrival (COCRA)
greeted the gray-haired presiden-
tial aspirant with a small picket
line when he arrived on campus.

Among the COCRA signs
were, “God Is Alive and Thinks
He's George Romney," and

”Down With Dirty Words, Up
with George Romney." Romney
read some of the signs out loud
as he saw them, but balked at
the sight of the "Down Deep
He's Shallow."

Later, when the jut-jawed pol-
itician asked girls participating
in a Smith-Mt. Holyoke touch
football game at Dartmouth to
give him the ball, COCRA mem-
bers reportedly chanted, "Dirty
old man. "

Nameless, Split Protesters ‘Can’t Adopt Goals’

 

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN
As demonstration fever spreads across
the nation, a small group of University
students is trying to show that dissent
can, and is happening here.

The group protested against the De-
fense Intelligence Agency when it re-
cmited on campus last Monday in the
Placement Service. And it will demon—
strate again Wednesday against the Army
Chemical-Biological Warfare Center.

The group has formed an organiza-
tion, but it says it cannot adopt any
goals because of factionalism.

Most of the students are members

 

of Students for a Democratic Society
(SDS), which sponsors the meetings inthe
Student Center. Meeting agendas are mim-
eographed on the back of the second
page of the SDS constitution, but leaders
of the group insist it is not SDS.

No Name

In fact, the organization has no name.
It has an elected chairman and a press
agent, but neither will serve as a spokes-
man for the group. They say it is too
loosely structured for any one person
to speak for it.
Ralph Brown, the press agent, said

the group seems divided into two fac-
tions:

The “old radicals" who feel recruit-
ing by companies associated with the
Vietnam war is inconsistent with the
ideals of the University.

Those who protest specifically again‘st
the war.
In any case, Brown added, the common
denominator is the war.

Bill Murrell, one of four students ar-
rested last week when they refused to
stop blocking entrance to the recruiting
office, favors the first viewpoint.

, At Sunday's meeting to organize the
Wednesday protest, Murrell tried to per-
suade the group to adopt some strategic
goals. “We don't know what we’re dem-
onstrating about," he told some 30 stu-
dents present. But he met with no suc-
cess.

Murrell later related the University's
decision to allow certain recmiters on
campus to the more general issue of
students having a voice in administrative
decisions affecting their education.

He said recmiters represent only one
example of students not having a voice
in who can be on campus. Thus, he

enoes, the goal has been to help
students achieve some insight in-
to how they might become ef-
fective as leaders. This one was
no different.

Discussion leaders accompan-
ied by a faculty member acted
as antagonists prodding small
groups in an effort to “get down
to saying what we must do as
students at the University."

"If a teacher isn’t teaching a

class effectively, why don't you
do something about it?" one
discussion leader said. “Where
is this commitment to truth that
we always hear about?"

One reply was that the “at-
mosphere of the campus is too
conservative. If you do something
radical it hugs the whole cam-
pus."

“Committment to truth isn't
in all cases practical," another
said. “It's a matter of practi-
cality."

Another Reaction

"You can't be a crusader for
truth. You’ll be shot down," re-
acted another.

“But this is a gross ration-
alization." answered the discus-
sion leader. “If it takes radical-
ity then why not be a radical
if it's in the name of truth?"

One student used her high
school as an example of students
reacting against school conserva-

“I think that's what is going

report, sometimes with surpris-
ing results. Tom Derr questioned
the efficacy of student govem-
ment “when Dr. Oswald has the

power."
Brent Milward, a Student
Covemment representative re-

butted that “Dr. Oswald cannot
dictate to various departments.
They are autonomous. Student
government at least provides a
forum."

Heated discussions followed
questioning the purpose of the
conference, whether it was to in-
itiate student activism or serve
as a means of creating ideas
among the participants.

Joyanne Cockerman. modera-
tor of the discussion, suggested
"that the question of ”personal
gains" be dropped and if resol—

utions were going to be made,
”make them. "

It was decided that a commit—
tee composed of discussion lead:
ers ”and any interested students
would meet at 4 pm. Friday to
draw up resolutions to be put
before Student Covemment.

Discussion leader Laura

Muntz critized the prodeedings,
saying “all we've managed to do
is avert the issue beautifully.
We've blamed The Kernel, Stu-
dent Covemment and other won—
derful old institutions. The ques-
tion is student involvement. Are
we dedicated enough to become
personally involved?"

explained, by choosing to pro-
test to the recruiters in relation
to the student-voice issue, he
also was showing dissatisfaction
with the Vietnam war.

Brown has similar, but less
complicated, views.

Protests ‘Existence’

“I'm not protesting the pre»
sence of these recruiters on cam-
pus," he said, “but their very
existence. And, in this sense,
I'm protesting the war. But my
reasons go even deeper-to the
general feeling of this country
that violence can be an answer
to problems."

Protest isn't anything new at
the University. In past years,
there have been silent peace vigils
and lively picketing against the
war. But this isthe first sustained
organized eflort.

Brown said the massive peace
demonstration at the Pentagon
last month was a catalyst for the
active dissent at UK.

”It has been a catalyst for
demonstrations all over the coun-
try," he added, refening to pro-
tests at Oberlin College, Howard
University, Wisconsin, Iowa, Il-
linois, Harvard, Yale, Indiana
and Minnesota.

“We're protesting now be-
cause it has to start somewhere,"
Murrell explained. ”And because
it is an opportune time with all
these other protests."

‘Spontaneous' Dissent

Still, the organization is con-
fused, and part of the reason,
Brown says, is because the dis-
sent has been spontaneous.

Efforts are being made, how-
ever, to become more organized.

SDS Survey Aims At Toppling

East Kentucky‘Courthouse Gangs

By LARRY DALE KEELINC

A research project on econom-
ics and politics in Eastern Ken-
tucky counties will be useful in
community organizing in these
counties, according to discuss-
ions at a planning session held
Saturday.

The project, sponsored by the
UK chapter ofStudents for Demo
cratic Society (SDS), will be used
to develop independent political
movements in counties so that the

people ”can take over court-
houses and get some things done
that are desperately needed
there," according to Alan Mc-
Surely, who was active in the
survey.

McSureley, who is not a UK
student, is one of the Southern
Conference Education Fund

(SCEF) workers recently acquit-
ted of sedition in Pike County.

McSurely said he found a

CH ICACO (AP)—Rennie Da-
vis, a founder of Students for a
Democratic Society, related Sat-
urday he saw bombed out hos-
pitals, schools, churches and re-
sidential neighborhoods in cen-
tral Hanoi and other North Viet-
namese cities.

Davis, 27, told of his experi-
ences in a copyrighted story ap—
pearing in Sunday's edition of
the Chicago Sun-Times.

He and six others visited North
Vietnam at the invitation of that
Communist government, the

newspaper account said. Davis
described portions of Hanoi after
an air raid.

He said houses and stores in
the central part of the city were
hit by conventional bombs and
that a Hanoi hospital had been
struck by a guided missile armed
with anti-personnel fragmenta-
tion pellets.

Davis is director of the Chica-
go Center for Radical Research.

Davis was quoted as saying
he arrived in Hanoi Sept. 29. He
said he took the trip to get “in-
formation that would be useful
to Americans trying to end the
war."

Gallup Sees Sentiment

Moving ToRepublicans

PRINCETON, N Y. (UPI) A majority of voters for the first
time in a decade would prefer to see Republicans rather than
Democrats handle the nation's most serious problems, the Gallup

Poll reported Sunday.

The poll asked 1,565 adults
across the nation to name what
they considered to be the nnost
pressing problems facing the
United States and which party
could best handle them.

Fifty percent cited the Viet-
nam war, 21 percent civil rights
and 16 percent the high cost of
living.

30 Percent Favor COP

The poll said 30 percent pre-
ferred the Republican Party and
26 percent the Democrats while
9.8 percent saw nno difference and
16 percent had no opinion. When
the uncommitted are divided
equally between parties, the Re-
publicans have an apparent 52-
48 edge.

In mid-October of last year,
with the top problems the same,

the poll said the Democrats held
a 53-47 edge over the Republi-
cans. This division was reflected
in the congressional elections in
November when the VOte was
52-48 on the Democratic side.

The GOP has improved its
position significantly since Oc-
tober 1964 when Democrats held
a 63-37 advantage as the party
considered best able to handle
the nation's top problems. Pres-
ident Johnson defeated Repub-
Iican Barry M. Goldwater by a

61-39 margin the next month.

The Sun-Times quoted Davis
as saying: “When there is an
air raid, the maids and waitress-
es who served us clear the guests
into a shelter, put on helmets
and go outside. Women 18 to 30,
using 18mm sub—machine-guns,
stand in the yard and on the
roof, ready to shoot at planes.

”We went into shelters three
or four times a day . . .There
were a few days when we went
in six or eight times."

Davis was quoted further:

“We saw a bombed-out Cath-
olic church in Phu Xa village.
They had built a monument there.
It was a kind of modest monu-
ment, with a stone out in front.
Inside, it showed the remains of
the Catholic church-headless Vir-

gin Mary, burned pages of the
Bible, pictures of some of the
people killed.

“We visited Thanh Tri Hos-
pital in the center of Hanoi, in
one of the busiest population
areas of the city. People at the
hospital told us it had been hit
Aug. 23 by a Shrike guided
missile. We saw part of the mis-
sile.

“We saw with our own eyes
what was a block, approximate-
ly half of which had been oblit-
erated, in an area that was all
residential and small business."

The Sun-Times said Davis
concluded that “the military ob-
jective of the bombing is not to
hit military targets, but to break

edown morale and destroy exam-

ples of growth and progress in
the country, such as university

buildings. ' '

Letters To The Editor

 

Advice and Dissent from the Readers

To The Editor 'or The Kenel:
It is fortunate that students of uni-

‘versities as UK can have the opportunity-

to hear speakers from the national scene.
Such was the case last Thursday when
Whitney Young jr., director of the Ur-
ban League, spoke at the convocation held
in Memorial Coliseum. However, parts of
Mr. Young's speech were in exquisitely
poor taste and he exhibited a madden-
ing state of misinformation or deliberate
twisting of the facts.

At one instance, while explaining out-
lines of the urban leagues program, he

paused to say, "I hope this is not too
sophisticated a concept for you." This
may be Kentucky—home of Appalachia—-
and no doubt some were having trouble
understanding the man, but I really do
believe there were people present who
have twice the mental potentiality of
Whitney Young. This is rather painfully
obvious from hearing him speak. Such
patronizing attitudes from the rostmm are

quite superfluous, at any rate. _
Mr. Young went on to rrnake a snide

insinuation that there were no Negroes
fighting on the front lines in World War
11. Being college students at UK and
products of the post-war baby boom, we
are expected to accept this as face. Really,
now!

Mr. Young went on to state that
things certainly have changed: the front
lines in Vietnam are majority Negro. In
the first place, there are as many front
lines in Vietnam as there are soldiers. No
min line of confrontation exists, further,
approximately I!) percent of fighting men
in Vietnam are Negro; quite far removed
from a majority. Mr. Young may have
been looking for laughs (other parts of
his speech deserved them) by saying this,
but his poor taste silenced the audience.

Further, Young statisticized that 70
pecent of our national budget was going
for defense, wenpons of war etc. This is
quite erroneous! The current figure is 55
percent. Mr. Young's exagerations for ef-
fect are hardly the type to strengthen
his arguments.

Also by insinuating that police in
riot torn cities (he mentioned Cleveland,
Ohio, as a potential flare-up) should not
use force, be is advocating anarchy: Per—
haps his concept was too sophisticated
for me, but I believe anyone who breaks
the law as has been done in Detroit,
Harlem, Watts etc. should only expect
such lawlessness to be rrnet with police
action. Mr. Young also rrnade a "threat"
that if things continued, not even the air
force, army, navy and marines combined
could stop Negroes. Chuckle! If a hand-
ful of thoroughly trained paratroopers
can settle down Detroit, the entire armed
forces of this country will be quite ade-
quate for any other emergency—when the
police can't handle it.

Mr. Young also rrnade a feeble swat
at Congress for not acting exactly as he
wished. He fails to realize that congress-
men face election quite frequently and if
they don’t please their constituents, they
are not allowed to return to face suc-
ceeding balloting. Mr. Young also shows
a vast misunderstanding of our economic
situation today by actually advocating
that the government create enough jobs
for all unennployed as was done in 1932.
This is'not 1932, Mr. Young. Even so,
too rrnuch of this is done already.

After all this verbal fumbling, Young
was given a standing ovation! Good Hea-
vens! Are UK people that southernly hos-
pitable!!! ,

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

It has conne to my attention that very
few students have ever heard or read
”The Americans Creed." William Tyler
Page, a clerk in the U.S. House of Rep-
resenntatives, wrote ”The American's
Creed" in 1917, and it was accepted by
the House on behalf of the American
people on April 3,
