office. Tickets are $4. Those
who have won will have their
ID cards returned when they

Tickets will be given out in

boards. The senator proposed
that local draft boards become
appeal boards for men chosen
by one of the area offices.
e
The
plan was originally proposed by the draft
commission set up by the President last spring.
In his speech introducing the
bill in the Senate, Kennedy
criticized several of the amendments to the draft laws that
area-offic-

were passed by Congress last
June. He suggested that Congress enacted some of the
amendments simply to reduce
the rights of draftees.
As one example, he cited the
1967 amendment that says the
courts can't review a decision
made by a Selective Service
Board unless the registrant involved is charged with a criminal violation. The amendment
means, in effect, that a draftee
can't challenge a draft board's
decision in the courts until he
has been charged with violating
the draft law.
The Senator said this amendment is an "unprecedented attempt to work mischief with
Constitutional
rights, and it
should be stricken from the
law."
Among the provisions in Kennedy's bill are the following:
That students should be
given postponements during up
to four years in college, but that
these postponements should no

That using the draft to
punish protesters should be prohibited;
That the term of the Selective Service director be limited
to six years (Kennedy would

More Troops May Be Needed In Vietnam

United Tress International
Earle
G. Wheeler, Chairman of the
Joint Chief of Staff, participated
in a White House talk Wednesday, which included. the possibility of more U. S. troops for
Vietnam.
If, as some suspect, Wheeler
brought a recommendation from
Gen. William C. Westmoreland
for substantial troop increases,
the Johnson administration will
face some tough choices over
whether and how to meet such
a request.

in Vietnam by midyear. A decision to increase the level substantially beyond this for example 50,000 to 100,000 more-wo- uld
involve choices such as these:
Depleting even further the

Freezing enlistments.
None of the choices is palatable.
In terms of its mobilization
potential, the United States is in
a good manpower position, according to defense officials. It
has active land forces of 1,700,000,
including Army and Marines. It
has ground troop reservists numbering 700,000, counting only
those in "priority" training status.

But the United States is in a
manpower bind in terms of sending more men to Vietnam while
still maintaining present draft,
reserve and troop quota policies,
while still keeping its commitments in Korea and Europe, and
while still maintaining a substantial contingency force.
The Army's active duty contingency force in the United
States now numbers some 66,000
men. In January, 1965, before the
big U. S. Vietnam buildup, the
force was roughly twice that size.
The Army calls this domestic

Cirls, if you have doubts or worries about your future, this is
the year to make it secure.
Dreams of a home, husband, and family can become real. All
it takes is a little courage and one unsuspecting UK bachelor.
This year is leap year, a time when courting customs are
reversed. The women woo instead of being wooed.
This
custom was first begun in Scotland. In 1288, a law
was passed which provided a fine for any bachelor refusing a
woman's proposal for marriage unless he could prove that he
was already betrothed to another woman.
A few years after Scotland's law was
passed, a similar one
was passed in France. In the fifteenth century, the custom also
became law in Cenoa and Florence.
Sadly enough, this law does not exist in the United States
but tliis sliould not deter any coed from continuing the
d
custom of pursuing her man.

The Mar chine Wildcat Band Aims To Please

Continued from Page One
resent being required to take the
course, he added, and some
have changed majors to avoid
the obligation.
He moved the practice sessions from the old hours to 5
to G p.m. for next year, in an
attempt to end problems of class
conflicts and to resolve the
difficulties. The band
would meet daily for the shorter sessions, and thus could afford
to move indoors one day per
week if weather made outdoor
marching impractical.
This was impossible in the
past, he said, because three sessions on the field each week was
an absolute minimum.
Still, the new plan hasn't
ended the complaints.
Still Complaints
The new hours displease
some Greek band members,
who would miss eating at their
fraternity and sorority houses
if they went to band rehearsals
at that time. Dart said that he
hopes to be able to make provisions for the Student Center
to feed such students.
Some students said that people quit because of termination
of a $50 stipend, which students
used to receive for marching,
but others denied it, for the
reason that "the stipend doesn't
mean much to the individual,
but the amount adds up to a
lot for the band," which can
bad-weath- er

use the money tor trips, unitorm
cleaning bills (which the students used to pay), and rewards (such as blazers) for
long-termembers.
Dart said that the band took
an extra trip last year because
of the money, and several students commented happily about
that trip.
Many students said they quit
because of Dart, who they said,
"has no tact," has "poor leadership abilities," is "discriminatory," and "wastes time" in rehearsals. Several of the students
said that they had taken problems to Dart, who had solved
them, but, as one student said,
"I disliked the way he solved it."
Other students said that Dart
has "a desire to be a good director," and is "showing a great
of interest in the band. He is
"open to suggestion," said one.
Student Body Response
An almost universal complaint by students, who are in
the band, or have been, is poor
morale, which they feel is
chiefly a result of the
of the student body
to the band. "We could never
please the student body, no
matter what we did," one student said.
Another, who remarked that
the band has been booed several times on the UK field, said
the band got "a standing ovation" at the University of Ten
se

nessee for a program which he
felt was equal to some the band
had given here.
One student said that "morale
will improve next year because
of the changes," which will
"make reception better."
To help improve morale, Dart
and the students are consciously
making an effort to start traditions to make the band run
smoothly and keep the band
spirit up, according to Joe
an assistant director.
The students have initiated
cheers, chants, and have started
spirited rivalry between upper
and lower class band members,
including an annual football
game during a summer "Early
Week" of practice.
Wants More Quality
Dart is trying to build up sectional spirit and competition,
too, which he hopes will be
helpful in improving playing
quality. He said that he wants
to get the band to play post-gam- e
music on the field, if a
section can be roped off, or in
the stands.

A

at games. Dart said he didn't
know when the band actually
started using the tune, but that
he heard it played on a recording of the band made in the
Forties.

ing a band running smoothly,
said that it is difficult to compare UK's band to other bands
which have had traditions for
a long time.
Traditions keep morale high
and keep people in the band,
so that a core of good players
can be established. Last year's
band had 30 freshmen, 27 sophomores, 11 juniors, 10 seniors,
and one graduate student.
Other Rands Larger
UK, with a student population of about 15,000, marched
a
band last year. The
University of Tennessee, with
over 20,000 on the main cam

pus, marched 225. West Virwith over
ginia University,
12,000 students, marched about
150.

Several of the other bands
have used coeds, some universities and colleges have larger
music departments, and some
have better budgets, which offer
students scholarships to stay
with band.
All these things are being
considered, and rapid progress
has already been made. The
continuing efforts arc almost
certain to bring to Stoll Field
the marching band UK students
have long awaited.

TV Breakthrough For Negroes
By RICK DU BROW
HOLLYWOOD (UPI)-NBC-- TV
officially announced Tuesday
that it is planning to present
the first weekly television series
to star a female Negro performer.
Assuming there is enough
sponsor interest, Diahann Carroll, best known as a singer, will
appear starting this September
comedy-dram- a
in "Julia," a half-hou- r
about a young widow
son.
with a
NBC-Talso previously presented the first regular weekly
series to star a Negro, "I Spy,"
in which Bill Cosby has been

for several seasons
with Robert Culp.
There has been mounting belief within the television industry
for some time that the next logical Negro breakthrough in ideo
would be a situation series presenting members of that race in
normal happenings.
But "Julia," if the sponsors
buy it, would appear to have
the potential for the breakthrough
spoken of a Negro taking part
as an ordinary human being in
everyday situations.
It's a far cry from "Amos
'N' Andy."

Not all pirl's stuff "covers up." Here's one product that does more:
PAMPRIN.
PAMPRIN makes a woman look and feel better . . . without relying on
"camouflage." PAMPRIN is specifically designed to get at a basic
cause of
problems. Problems of temporary water-weiggain. That puffy feeling that can make you feel miserable the week
before your period. (It's that extra water-weigcausing pressure on
tissues that makes for headaches and
tension.)
PAMPRIN does what aspirin doesn't. It alleviates the "bloating." So it
gets at the cause of the pain. Instead of just covering it up. PAMPRIN
makes a woman feel more like a woman. Every day of the month. So
every coed can live life a little bit better. Now that PAMPRIN is going
to college.
PAMPRIN. It's definitely girl's stuff.

The situation at Morehead still
remains as one clouded by secrecy.
The only people willing to talk
are the few "campus liberals" able
to verbalize their gripes.
The Kernel is skeptical about
persons so willingto air their views.
Either the views are unfounded or
the gripes are purely personal ones.
Usually.
This case is different, however.
Time and time again Morehead
administrators have been asked by
Kernel reporters to please state
their side of the case. Time and
time again "no comment" has come
from the other end of the telephone.
We urge those people being criticized by Morehead faculty and
students to stand up and state

It this is truly the essence of
our Vice President's mission to
Africa, then this University, as
an American institution, should
be willing to carry out that mission. As an educational center,
UK's duty would be to offer a
course on the history of Africa.
We, as students have come to
listen, learn, and to discuss the
future, just as Humphrey went
abroad to tell Africa we were a
nation engaged in these pursuits.
Why is this request "against the

The firing of Mr. Kenneth Vance

lends imposing credibility to both
his and his students' claims that
free speech is foreign indeed to the
MSU campus.
There seems to be no reason
for Mr. Vance's firing other than
his involvement in "liberalizing"
the Morehead campus, as he calls
it.
