Field Trip Gives
First Hand Look
At Strip Mines
By MARILU DAUER
Kernel Staff Writer
"We've been going through
an orgy of mauling away Kentucky for 75 years," proclaimed
Harry M. Caudill, author of the
widely acclaimed "Night Comes

to the Cumberland."
Caudill, a lawyer who has
spent his life in southeastern
Kentucky, yesterday gave an
guided tour of the
strip mines there to a group of
over 60 students, including
many from UK, professors and
interested conservationists.
But the group saw two sides

Religious Liberals Discuss Chemical War
By RICHARD WHITT

pointed out that
the United States is the only
major powerwhichhasnot signed
the 1925 Geneva pact outlawing
chemical warfare.
"Every major power, including Russia and China, have
signed this agreement," White
said. He said people should write
to their senators to express desire that they vote in favor of
signing the treaty when it comes
before the Senate.
Dr. White said he doesn't
think the people who are in charge
of some of the experiments "know
what they are doing." He said,
for example, the British permanently contaminated an entire
is la nd with anthrax and now must
maintain a constant patrol of the
island.
Dr. Donald Knapp, chairman
of the Department of Oral Biology, said drugs are being developed by a team of scientists
in the United States which could
alter mood and behavior. "These
people are being paid by our tax
dollars, but I can't find out what
they have learned."

chemical and biological warfare
at a meeting of the Campus
Religious Liberals Sunday night.
Dr. Samuel F. Conti, director
of the School of Biological
who headed the panel
discussion, said there is "no
doubt" that the U.S. is using
chemicals such as herbicides and
defoliants in Vietnam.
Dr. Conti said the use of such
chemicals is a dangerous step
because it shows that the U.S.
will not hesitate to use chemical warfare. He noted there are
many other more, dangerous
chemicals which could destroy
vertebrates as easily as herbicides
destroy plant life.
"We are using so much of
these chemicals that the United
States had to import herbicides
last year for the first time," Dr.
Conti said.
Dr. Conti attacked the reason given by the military for using the chemicals. "They say it

continued. The drug that Dr.
Knapp was refering to is commonly called an "age regression"
drug.
Prof. Knapp pointed out some
of the military implications of
the drug in an experiment whose
results were released by the Army
in 1963. The drug was given to
a group of 10 recruits who were
proficient at a certain obstacle
course.

"The obstacle course had 12
separate obstacles and by the
time they reached the third obstacle, only one man had a rifle;
by the time they reached the
fifth obstacle, nobody had a riik
and only one man finished the
course," Dr. Knapp said.
He added that by putting
such a chemical into central air
conditioners or heating systems,
an enemy agent could incapici-tat- e
an entire country "with relative ease. The potential is
enough to scare the hell out of
you," he said.
Dr. Knapp said he thinks
drugs are being used on the Viet
Cong to induce them into battle. "You read about the Viet
Cong taking drugs and making
suicide attacks," he said.

'Wall Of Secrecy

...

"The military establishment

is taking science in a direction
which is endangering all of us,"
Prof. Knapp continued. He said
"we owe it to ourselves to find
out what is going on behind
this wall of secrecy."
Dr. Knapp accused the American press of laxity in reporting
incidents involving chemical and
biological warfare and experiments.
He recalled, too, students at
the University of Buffalo completely destroyed a new laboratory which had been built for a
professor who was doing research
for the military.
"The building was to be a
restricted area and the students
evidently didn't think that a university was the place for this kind
of research."

He added that the story did
not appear in local newspapers.
"I found out about it when
I ran into a student from the
University of Buffalo who was
looking for a place to go to
school," Dr. Knapp quipped.

Shale and coal had been washed
into streams; some streams were
completely blocked.
Live Sewage

Jerry Thornton, director of
the UK Environmental Awareness Seminar and organizer for
the field trip, pointed out an
obviously polluted stream. Caudill informed him that this was
Thornton's "drinking water" in
Lexington, which he said consists of blood, sulfur, limestone
and "urinated water." This water would eat the feet off a mule,

Tennessee 'Bounces9 Past Surprising UK

When the referee allowed the ball to remain in its
Knoxville sanctuary, Kentucky fans roared with disapproval. Under college rules, however, its where the ball
comes to rest that finally counts.
And in this case, it counted seven points for Tennessee. On Kentucky's first play quarterback Bernie
Scruggs fumbled in the end attempting to pass. Tennessee linebacker Jack Reynolds fell on it for what
turned out to be the game's deciding touclidown with
2:47 left.
"Certainly," said Tennessee Coach Doug Dickey,

Rock Concert Turns On Audience
By BETH

Kcmcl Staff Writer
When a rock concert turns
on a fairly conservative city, such
as Lexington, there indeed must
be something special about that
concert. Saturday night, Nov. 22,
the University was host to its first

concert, which featured
Motherlode and Pacific Cas fic
Electric. While the first portion
of the show was inexcusably poor,
the second half was remarkably
entertaining.
Beginning on a bad note-t- hat
of the Motherlode the concert started off by boring some
and amusing others as Mother-lod- e

at music. Its portion of the show
was utterly worthless with the

Lyrics Of Experience

off with a bit of vocal trouble,
which was never really rectified,

By DANIEL E. COSSETT
Arts Editor
"The Sterile Cuckoo' starring Liza Minelli and Wendell Burton,
is not a great or profound motion picture. What it is is a sensitive
and insightful story of the first love affair of a man and a woman.
The love affair itself is not particularly distinctive; however, it is
of the type that so many people experience early in their mature

lives.
The fact that John Nichols, who wrote the book upon which
the movie was based, chose this type of relationship for his characters is what makes "The Sterile Cuckoo" an entertaining and
relevant story. Two people, who are totally inexperienced in either
love or sex, are drawn together because of tremendous needs
within themselves. They are able from the constitutions of their
individual personalities to create a double Cestalt of sorts.
First they are able to merge love and sex into a harmonious
whole that creates a unique sort of elation and a broadening of all
of the senses. Secondly, the complementarity cf their personalities
expands to the point that they are a "we" greater than the mere
sum of two people.
The point of the story, which everyone involved in the movie
seems to understand, is that the type of relationship described is
not always a permanent affair. Since it involves a giving and a
growing experience for both people, it must of necessity involve a
changing process for both. Each, as a result, is stronger and more
capable of dealing with the threats and problems that a human
alone must face. In this case, as in many others, the lovers separate
because the devotion threatens to turn into a loss of identify.
This reviewer must ascribe high ratings to stars Wendell Burton
Alan Pakula and author John
and Liza Minelli, producer-directo- r
Nichols for understanding a phenomenon.

Expressing disappointment
that the audience remained in
their seats, the group encouraged
the crowd to jump, stand and
scream whenever they felt like
it. The crowd, more than willing to get into the new and
better music, soon began to appear in small clusters of two's

university students are
"exiles in their own land," according to a report released Nov.
10 by three graduate students at
the University of Windsor.
In the report on the
of our universities," the trio William House,
Robert MacRae and Robert Reynoldscharge that Windsor is being taken over by American ideas
and teachers.
Stressing that
"is not a nationalistic
term," that it "is not to be
equated with the large invasion
of American professors," their
report analyzes the problems created by a lack of Canadian content and teachers.
Their findings will go to a
Committee on
of the Universities, organized
by Carleton University profes

sors James Steele and Robin Matthews.

The three authors said students oppose U.S. professors, not
because they are Americans but
because they tend to import ideas
from the American educational
system which do not suit Canadian needs.
This has led, the three contend
in their report, to larger classes
with an emphasis on lectures
rather than tutorials.
There is a "noticeable indifference towards Canadian culture," especially in the social
sciences and the humanities, the
authors said. American ideas and
techniques predominate, particbehaviorularly the "value-free- "
ism taught in the social sciences.
There is an ignorance of Canada, they said; "Students who are
taught . . . nothing on Canada
or Canadian approaches must be
regarded as colonials."

A lack of diversity has shown
itself in the "lack of Marxists
or even any socialists in the
social sciences, and the predombehavior-is- t
inance of the 'value-fre- e
approach' that can only lead
to blankness: intellectual and
creative stagnancy."
The report says only 54 percent of faculty members at Windsor are Canadians, compared
with 76 percent in 1963. Six years
ago, Windsor had two American
department heads. Today it has

seven.
The students call for a university ruling that all deans and
department heads must be Cana-

dian citizens.

They also criticize the
"tax holiday" for foreign
professors moving to Canada.
