'He feels much
like a token:'
Wallace

By JIM MAZZONI
Kernel Staff Writer
In view of today's appointment of Victor
Gaines as special assistant to UK
President Otis A. Singletary. a question is
raised as to whether black students on
campus have been satisfied with things in
the past.

Analysis

Many blacks feel there has been direct
discrimination against blacks on campus.
and even question the sincerity of the
previous office designed to represent
them.

"IN MY CONVERSATIONS with Jerry
iStevens. assistant to the vice president
for student affairs for minority students) I
get the feeling. that he feels very much like
a token." said Edgar Wallace. president
of the local NAACP branch and a student
pursuing a BA in social work. “I get the
idea he feels like a window dressing. and
hasn't been able to do the things he‘d want
to do for black students."

Because of the way things are at UK.
Wallace added. other blacks he knows
“would honestly recommend for black
students not to come to UK.

"There are too few black students on
campus.” he noted. “But black students
don‘t want to come to this campus with the
knowledge of its reputation for a racist
institution."

WALLACE FEELS THE image of the
athletic department is behind most black
resentment toward UK.

“I'm in a unique position though." he
said. in reference to his 1971 campaign for
City Commissioner. “When I came back to
school. 1 had been narrowly defeated for
City Commissioner. and many knew who I
was.

“To be honest. I have received no
racisim.butl do know what I hear and see
in reference to the athletic department."

Other prominent blacks in the com-
munity share Wallace‘s views on the
athletic department

“BASICALLY. THE community looks
at the University through its athletic
policy for blacks," said Bill Bingham.

New assistant to assess
UK programs for blacks

Continued from Page 1

executive director of the Council
of Neighborhood Organizations.
"The everyday black person
doesn't really look into
academics versus athletic—
s.People don't really relate to
that unless they are professors or
doctors."

“The big problem is they‘re not
recruiting the Negro players that
are qualified to participate
there." said Ovin Haskins, local
real estate broker and outspoken
member of the black community.
“They‘ve particularly lost a lot in
the Kentucky area."

Bingham noted. “There are so
many good ball players from
Kentucky that are now playing in
the pros and lformer UK
basketball coach Adolphl Rupp
said they weren‘t good enough.
People don‘t say a lot, but they
remember."

HE ADDED MANY black
players from Kentucky now want
to go to a school that will even-
tually play UK.

"The key to changing things is
on the athletic side and not the
academic side. Bingham con-

tinued. “There are so many

people

“The key to changing things is
on the athletic side and not the
academic side.“ Bingham
continued. “There are so many
people who can identify with
sports talent and not
academics."

“the University is among
public employers that hasn‘t
practiced affirmative action as
far as black employes are con-
cerned.“ Wallace said.

”The number of blacks is not in
any way proportionate to the
number in the country."

AS FOR STUDENTS . Wallace
said “These who have a chance
will choose (a school) where
they’ll feel comfortable. That’s
simply not the case at UK."

I”It's something that ought to
be explored.“ said Haskins.
“We‘re living in a good com-
munity. and I don‘t see why there
is so much prejudice there.”

"THIS IS A plantation. It is the
tobacco and horse farm center of
the world. And in it blacks are
going to be stable boys. grooms
and housemaids. If there are
going to be any exceptions they
should go to another school.
really.“

Dr. ()tis A. Singletary. L'K
president. said Gaines should be
able "to pull together what we

are doing now. which is ap-
parently now known. according
to those stories.“

Gaines will have to work with
many individuals and depart-
ments. (‘lapp said. to bring some
”Institutional focus on programs
In various colleges and depart-
ments Many of these programs
deal with retention and
recruitment of minority and
black students."
