Stahr Talks At UK Anniversary

Stahr, who resigned his position at Indiana to become president of the conservation-minde- d
National Audubon Society, was
the featured speaker in services
commemorating the 104th anniv-sar- y
of the founding of UK.
"There's a big job that must

"It's not whether 1,001 components will test out individually, but whether they test out
together," he said, "and this is
true in education.
"While most students haven't
even heard of 'ecology'" a
branch of biology dealing with
the relation of organisms to their
environment "man continues to
break down nature into educational categories such as geology,
botany and zoology and fails to

"Though specialization in education has been useful," he
pointed out, "the results of specialization have taken us over."

Of human damage to the natural environment, he said destruction of the earth's terrain
and the pollution of rivers and
streams not only upset the balance of nature, but also victimize man in the long run.
Stahr said he believes that
given educational leadership and
"proper" legislation, the balance
of nature can be "restored."

Each of the defendants denied
this and, in the final summations, each tried to explain what
it did in connection with the sale
and what motives it had.
Rufus Lisle, lawyer for the
university foundation, cited evidence aimed at showing the University had wanted Maine
Chance for years because it
needed added land and the farm

was between two other university
farms.

"There was a farm for sale
and two purchasers wanted it,"
Lisle told the jury. "That is the

Roy 'Innis: A Definition Of Black Separatism

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the last of a series
of reports on the United States Student Press
Association's College Editors Conference, held
last weekend in Washington D.C.
WASHINGTON-Ami- dst
all the semantic confusion surrounding the black separatist ideology,
Roy Innis former director of the Congress of Racial
Equality (CORE) and a black nationalist since the
early sixties paused recently to define the separatist movement.
"Separation is not at all like segregation or an
apartheid," he said at the College Editors Conference.
and
Civing what he termed
definitions of segregation, integration and separation, Innis characterized segregation as "Blacks and Whites sharing the samepiece
of geography, but living in divided areas, with
white people controlling the flow of goods and
services and the institutions (schools, hospitals,
etc.) in both their own area and the black area."
He said the students and teachers in "segregated" black areas might be black, but that the
supervisors and directors always are white.
"Integration," said Innis, "is an idealistic
way of organizing people, leaving no geographic
divisions between them.
"The control of the institutions and of the
flow of goods and services remains with the
Whites. Therefore the pragmatic effects of the
segregated society and the integrated society are
the same."
Innis said that under a separatist ideology,
Whites and Blacks would live in relatively divided
areas with the people in the respective areas
controlling their own environment.

Innis then outlined CORE's
program for black separatism. Phase one would be

the setting up of community corporations to run
social services, which, he said, would also give
Blacks a political power they don't have now.

Phase two would be the turning over of

in-

stitutions to black people and allowing them to
form autonomous, independent institutions of their
own.
The final phase an "ambitious one," he admits is the redefining of race relations. "Theonly
way this country can work is if black people
can become a partner at the table," Innis said.
Based on the fact that 10 percent of the American people are black, Innis said there should be
10 black senators and 43 black representatives.
Innis added that Sen. Edward Brooke is not
a "black senator" because he is responsible to
the people of Massachusetts and not to black
people generally, and that therefore he does not
represent Blacks.
In trying to establish "the naturalness of nationalism," Innis called it a common reaction of
oppressed people around the world.
He compared Moses "a Jewish nationalist"
with Elija Muhammad, a black nationalist leader.
"Both were religious and political. Both offered a
nationalist solution. Both were for leaving the
land of their oppressors. Both did not identify
the piece of geography for which they were bound.
"The first thing Moses did was come up with
10 values which were different from the Egyptians',
as well as a different god. Kliju Muhammad did
the same thing," said Innis.

naissance of 1967, the Iron Butterfly has developed an original

of the more recent rock groups.

Muggeridge rejuvenated the famous British humor magazine
Punch, serving as editor from 1953 to 1957. He resigned with a
typically biting riposte: "Five years of trying to make the English
laugh is more than any man should be asked to face."
Since that time Muggeridge has been a frequent contributor
to numerous British and American periodicals. He is also the author
of several books, dating from his savagely satirical "Winter in

critic in a variety
on the part of coal operators. Nader, a
of fields, Monday night urged law students to file mandates ordering
that workmen's compensation laws, especially in relation to the coal
industry, be enforced.
No one can deny that wide-scal- e
exploitation of Eastern Kentucky
inhabitants occurs as an accepted method of operation by the mining
industry. And no one can deny that it would be a distinct public
service should law students here utilize their knowledge (and gain
more) by attacking these abuses.
far-rangi- ng

Perhaps more significant even than the specific problem of mining
abuses is the concept of student involvement in the community, at
large. A number of law students already are providing some legal
assistance to indigent persons and this is commendable. But from
the attitudes one frequently hears expressed by law students here, it
appears that a great number badly need to climb out of their own
little world and see how things really are for people who do not
have the money to attend law school and who are trapped in various
snares of our society.

tionary is a
with long,
beard.
He wears faded jeans and sandals
(socks are forbidden). Around his neck
hangs the peace symbol, which looks like
emblem with an extra
a Mercedes-Ben- z
line through it.
He also wears an inch layer of dirt
and carries a sign upon which is inscribed
"Protest" or "Revolt Now" or someother
little tidbit of universal instruction.
This is the "revolutionary" that has

been assailed by the mass media and held
up to ridicule in virtually every environment in the country.
This is the same "revolutionary" that
has been glorified by the collegiate press
and by liberally-minde- d
individuals everywhere.
"He stands up for us," ring out the
cries of college youth. "He typifies our
actual goals . . . Let's all be like him."
This brings us to an interesting point.
The "revolutionary" is supposedly the
individual who diverges from
the established norm and the prescribed
pattern of life to pursue some abstract
goal.
This may have been the definition of
a "revolutionary" two or three years ago,
but with the rising percentage of campus
protests and demonstrators, a new type

off-be-at

of "revolutionary" has emerged on the

American college campus.
This "new revolutionary" has medium-cu- t

shirts. His slacks are
neatly pressed and his shoes have a
polished shine.
You question this description of the
"new revolutionary?" Then roam the campus at Berkeley and report back how many
"new revolutionaries" are in evidence.
Or check the scene at Columbia, Chicago
or San Francisco. The findings will be
similar.
The bearded New Leftist is now the
rule rather than the exception on most
American campuses. Once upon a time,
if a beard appeared on campus, the wearer would be subject to hoots, jeers and
catcalls unlimited.

is no longer a center of attraction. He is
no longer the stared-a- t oddball. He is now
the norm. Any divergence from this norm

spawns the "new revolutionary."
Even UK is struggling to catch up
with the more liberal institutions. Beards
and "hippies" are still the exception
here, but their presence has increased
considerably from the past.
Whereas it once was considered revolutionary to adopt liberal ideas and deviate from the normal way of life, today it
is revolutionary not to diverge from the
prescribed "old line" thinking.
If current trends continue, the button-dow- n
collar will be stared at three years
from now much the same way the beard
and scraggly hair were three years ago.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this regular column are those
of its author and do not necessarily represent the opinions of the Kernel.
The issue of compulsory military service is like most others we face today.
It is criticized, discussed, evaluated and
then forgotten.
The cries for the abolition of the draft
seem to rise and fall in direct proportion
to the intensity of the Vietnamese War.
In the past two years the cries have been
loud, demanding and immediate as the
war has been expanded, extended and
escalated. As the hostilities promise to
decline, less and less will be heard about
the draft. This is the case because those
who are crying loudest about the draft
are only concerned with keeping the blood
off their own hands especially their own
blood. So eventually the cries will diminish to whimpers, then gradually fade
away.
This is a calamity. There are those who,

Such rezoning, Li$le suggested, wouldn't have been difficult because Fayette County

of Pessin and Ellsworth in their

William Gess, attorney forthe
Bank of New York, said his client's sole motive "was to sell
Maine Chance Farm not only for
the highest price available, but
on the best terms."
He reminded the jury of how

Gess also called it "absurd"

submitting a written bid that it
