Friend And Foe
Greet Pat Nixon

JEANNIE ST. CHARLES
Assistant Managing Editor
e
The white and black
Jet bearing the words "United
States of America" arrived at Lexington airport at approximately
10 a.m. Tuesday.
The UK band struck up a tune; the Kentucky Babes, Angel
Flight and ROTC representatives stood at attention, and a crowd
of over 1,000 began to cheer and wave welcoming posters and miniature American flags.
A small group of demonstrators also was on hand.
The unusual greeting was stimulated by the arrival of Mrs.
Pat Nixon, First Lady of the United States, who came to Lexington

Mrs. Nixon began her short address to the crowd after going
through a receiving line of dignitaries. During the address, the first

Committee (SMC) members. Mrs. Nixon did not acknowledge the
group, but it appeared that she cut her speech short.

Following her greeting to the crowd, she began to shake hands
with front row spectators. Originally she meant to go about halfway down the line, but a secret service man said she could go all
the way since "there was nothing there."
Apparently, this meant she would run into no hassle with anyone in the line.

UK Programming Boards
Await Merger Approval

By MARY NELL SUTHERLAND
Kernel Staff Writer
The Student Center Board and the Student Activities Board,
the two major programming committees on campus, are planning
to merge at the end of this semester. Final approval of the merger
will come this week.
The new organization will be called the Student Center Board
and will consist of two councils, the executive and the programming.
The executive council will consist of a president, vice president,
r,
a public relations director and either three to
secretary-treasureThe council's duty will be to decide and
seven members-at-largcarry out programming policies of the organization.
The programming council will consist of chairmen for the following events on campus: Homecoming; Leadership Conference; '
Little Kentucky Derby; Special Events; Forum; Awards Night;
Quiz Bowl; Miss UK Pageant; Concerts; Hospitality (including
Wildcat Welcome); the Cinema Series; the Coffee House Series;
Social and Art.
Under the present system the above events have been divided
between the two boards, causing some duplication.
Anyone who is interested in applying for a position on either
the executive or programming councils for the new Student Center
Board should apply in either the Student Center Board or the
Student Activities Board offices.
Interviews for the positions will be set up after spring break.
The only requirement Is that the student applying not be on academic probation.

"The vice president and others

"and we were free." He said that

Faculty
It has been a long-hel- d
belief
that the key to a perfectly motivated and administered university
is the harmonic interlocking of student, faculty and staff interests.
Instead of the three major components cancelling each other in a
manner closely akin to that of our
national government, the three
should unite for the common goal
of educational betterment.
At this university, it seemed
of the whole facthat two-thirand student had, by prior
ulty
actions, demonstrated a trend toward mutual alliance. The two had
joined hands on many occasions to
present a united front against the
Administration. The ultimate victory to be gained by such cooperation would not favor any of the
three units individually but educads

tion as a whole.
The Faculty Senate had made
a most profound contribution
toward this uniting effort by proclaiming itself a University Senate,
one which would encompass the interests of faculty, students and administrators alike. The organization
had a long uphill struggle before it,

Cop-Ou-

t

but it was a definite step in the
right direction.
Now the University Senate
would seek to negate its gain by
once more withdrawing into its
shell. It now wants to again be
regarded as the Faculty Senate,
working for 'the espoused good of
the faculty alone, and ignoring the
interests of its two partners in the
education procedure.
The Senate, by denying students

The gross error in judgment which
prevents students from voting on
the Board of Trustees has been
duplicated and even surpassed by
the recent Senate action.
We implore the Senate to reconsider its withdrawal back into the
cocoon of indifference, to complete
the metamorphic process you have
begun toward the perfect university.

Hell And Damnation
What is this world coming to? It is a
sad truth that man casts aside every
chance that is given to him to better
himself. From Adam to Napoleon to Don
Pratt (convicted draft dodger), we can see
that man is simply not getting any better.
To speak the language of the young, "It's
the living end, man!" This world is going
to the dogs.
Man was born in sin. He has no freedom. Those who speak of
are either fools or Communist agents,
for there is no
There is
only predestination. Everything that happens on this earth is willed beforehand in
Heaven.
Just look around you, brother. Look at
the turmoil on college campuses. Look at
the morals of our corrupted youth. Look
at the drug situation. Look at Medicare.
Worst of all, look at those hordes of long-

haired beatniks chanting, "Power to the
people!" (Heaven forbid.)
The only thing that has ever kept man
in line is fear. We must accept this now.
Even if it takes another Spanish Inquisition, we must save the world before it is
too late!

Kernel Soapbox

Board of Elections
Never did I think the day would come
when I would be considered TimFutrell's
dupe. But, according to the last few
"soapboxes," I am since I serve as
the Board of Elections.
Please let me relate a few facts that
have been jumbled regarding the Board
of Elections report. After three full Board
meetings and several meetings between
Chairman Jim Cwinn and myself, we
decided to present a feasibility study of
Steve Bright's bill as well as four others
drawn up. We then recommended Plan
No. 4 of the
Maximum Area plan
as the most feasible.
Tim Futrell's part in the decisions
of the Board of Elections has been nil.
Mr. Futrell has been asked to make specific suggestions but he has declined. The
four alternative plans were drawn up by

me and revised by the Board of Elections.,
After we gave our report to the Assembly,'
it was up to them to choose the plan
they wanted. They amended Plan No. 4
and then passed it.
This plan is not much of a reform, I
agree. After studying voting plans from
over 30 schools, however, we found that
two days of voting is longer than most
and that interest in elections is drummed
up by other means.
We are in the process of presenting
a series of reforms designed to streamline
the election process, accentuate the important campus issues, and break up the
apathy image perpetuated by people who
do nothing but bitch.
These reforms will decide, to my mind,
where the heart of the Assembly lies as
far as reform goes. Come to the SG meeting Thursday night, 6:30 in Room 220 of
the Commerce Building and see for
