Violence Is
Unnecessary, -
Morton Says

Thruston B. Morton, Ken-
tucky Republican senator, spoke
to a sparse Student Center The-
atre audience yesterday on
patriotism and civil dis-
obedience.

"You've asked me to do every-
thing but raise the flag,” Sen.
Morton said, stating it was
practically impossible to deal
with the subject he had been
given,-

The senator had been invited
to appear as part of a New
Action Forum Series sponsored
by the YMCA. The forum’s
objectives are to expose UK
students to “people who are in-
fluencing the course of current
events.”

‘Obviously one cannot argue
with patriotism," Sen. Morton
said. "It can, however, be mis-
understood. “Blind support of
that which any group happens
to seek out as a_ goal contrary
to the good of the people” is
not patriotism, he asserted.

Of recent civil disturbances,
Sen. Morton said, 'I think ex-
treme demonstrations and the
discourtesy which I have seen
are unnecessary.” He added that
"nowhere in Kentucky have I
seen this kind of dissent.”

SnreOfDi-entflene

“But I am sure that in this
great University there are some
who dissent and who are ex-
pressing it without the dernon-
strations which we have seen in
the past," he said.

Sen. Morton emphasized that
patriotism doesn't mean ‘com-
plete loyalty” but rather an

“intellectual and educational
loyalty to the flag we serve."

During an informal question
and answer session following the
fomm, Senator Morton was
questioned by Don Pratt, UK
senior, about the legislator's
views on violence.

“Isn't it true, Sen. Morton,
that America was founded on
dissent and violence? For
instance, the American Revolu-
tion and the Civil War, Why,
‘then, is violence considered un-
patriotic?” Pratt asked.

' Pratt said that in some cir-

Fayette County Judge Joe
Johnson explained his Opposition
to the University's purchase of
Maine Chance Farm from the
estate of Elizabeth Arden Cra-
ham as basically stemming from
the ”closed door" policies of the
University in obtaining the 721
acre horse farm.

Judge Johnson criticized the
Keeneland Association, the Lex-
ington Herald-Leader, and the
First Security National Bank as
partners in a collusion to pro-
hibit California horseman Rex
Ellsworth and Lexington veter-
narian Arnold Pessin from buy-
ing the property. Judge Johnson
said the collusion was in viola-
tion of the Sherman Anti-Trust
Act.

Education Group Asks
Greater Faculty Voice

The Collegiate Pren- Service

WASHINGTON—An effective system of governing institutions
of higher education should be built on the concept of “shared
authority” between the faculty and the administration, according
to a task force of the American Association for Higher Education.

The task force, in a report
entitled “Faculty Participation
in Academic Covemance," said

lems to occupy generations of
Chancellors yet unborn."

tate put the horse farm up in
late July. The University's $2
million bid was the highest, and
UK was announced as purchaser.
Later charges by Judge Johnson
said the University was fully
aware of Mr. Ellsworth bid, and
therefore its action cgnstituted a
conspiracy.
Judge Johnson's remarks be-
fore a law school forum
by the Student Bar
spofo‘zgtion included frequent ref-
~er61ces to "Big 0" (University
President John Oswald), and “our

American colleges and univer-
sities should combat increased
faculty ferment by giving faculty
members significant authority in
the decision—making processes.

In intensive studies of 28
public and six private institu-
tions of higher education, the
task force found that “faculty
unrest and demands for more
effective representation in the
affairs of the college and uni-
versity have reached significant
dimensions.

Admitting that many institu-
tions have taken steps to in-
crease faculty responsibility, the
task force nevertheless says,
"We discovered enough prob-

The 67-page task force re-
port says the main sources of
discontent are the faculty's de-
sire to participate in the de-
termination of those policies that
affect its professional status and
performance and in the estab-
lishment of complex, statewide
systems of higher education
that have decreased local con-
trol over important campus is-
sues.

noble editor" (Lexington Herald-
Leader publisher Fred Wachs).

Judge Johnson admitted that
he was in favor of the University
obtaining the Newtown Pike
property, but he strongly objected
to the “underhanded method"
used by the University in bidding
for it.

Mr. Johnson further outlined
his efforts to prohibit the sale
of the property. He recounted
his conferences with Kentucky
Governor Edward Breathitt,
Keeneland' Association President

Louis Lee Haggin, and President
Oswald.

A report by the Legislative

Johnson Charges
‘Underhand’ Deal

In Farm Purchase

Research Commission was dis-
cussed by Mr. Johnson. In that
report, the LRC outlined the fis-
cal situation of the University
Research Corporation, actual
purchasers of Maine Chance for
the University, showing that
Foundation had $81,” in cash,
had loaned Spindletop $4571“),
and owed $132,(X)0 to its own
restricted endowment fund. Mr.
Johnson then said that it was
”stupid" for the University to
say no state funds were to be
used in the purchase.

The conclusion of the LRC's
report said an alternate amount
of property available to the Uni-
versity was unsuitable for the
University's planned use in long-
range development.

Judge Johnson also said that
Dr. Pessin agreed, along with
Mr. Ellsworth, to “not develop
the Newtown Pike property form)
years."

In answer to questions con-
cerning his opposition, Judge
Johnson said ”I don’t think I've
jumped on any cripples. The
Farm Bureau is against me, as
is the University Alumni Asso-
ciation, and the newspaper . . .
I think the odds are about even."

The Kentucky ”T" Party was
formed, partly by Mr. Johnson,
to c bat purchase of the prop-
aty by the University. Judge
Johnson said the ”T" Party in
tends to conduct a statewide
poll on the issue, “but they
(the Lexington papers) probably
wouldn't print what we found
anyway."

“The University just didn't
deal fairly with me," said Mr.
Johnson," adding that he felt

”there was no one that would

stand up for the common man
to question the “closed door"
policies of the Commonwealth's
government.

Mr. Ellsworth and Dr. Pessin
have sued the UK Research Foun-
dation for $30 million charging
restraint of trade.

Rappelling: A New Twist To An Old Quest

 

Rappelling For Fun . . .

By JILL RUFFNER

A group of UK students have turned to the
extraordinary in their quest for fun Instead of
conventional football or baseball, they have
taken up rappelling as a sport.

Rappelling is a maneuver used by Army
Special Forces and Air Force Rangers to get
out of or into apparently inaccessible places. The
basic equipment includes a sturdy rope, snap-
link and sheer guts.

Dennis Stark, a junior physical education
major from Carrollton, introduced rappelling to
a couple of friehds, who grew into a group that
now includes about eight men and women.

Risk l20-Foot Drop

The group has been getting together every
weekend since the beginning of school, and they
usually rappel a cliff that is situated on the
Mercer County-Jessamine County line. There,
it s a l20-foot drop—straight down.

A rope is tied around the waist and then
around the legs, so the rappeller is in a sitting
position.

A snap-link, an oval steel clasp, is connected

to the rope in two places in the front, which

I: s the rope tight in place.

me end of the rope is tied to something

secure, like a rock or tree, and the other end

at the bottom is held by a safety man, who

can control the person descending at all times.
Only One ‘Accident'

One hand is used in front for balance, and
the other hand is kept in the small of the back
for control.

One of the rappellers, john McCubbin, a
sophomore political science major from Louis-
ville, emphasized safety precautions.

All their equipment, he said, has been tested,
and the rope, tested at 6,400 pounds, is regula-
tion Special Forces rope. And they never at-
tempt a descent without double-checking every-
thing.

H‘We ve never had an accident yet, except for
last week,” McCubbin said, “when one of the
girls tried to make a 45- foot jump when she was
only 30 feet from the ground Nothing serious,
though. ”

The students thought of or
bi! changed their minds. Clubs are
izers. This is for fun.

Record Revieli’ " '

By ANN WOMELDORF

Psychedelic electricity of vo-
cal harmony— which represents
the popular music of today? The
Electric Prunes new album
“Underground” and The Tokens
album “It's aHappeningWorld”
represent two different trends in
popular music.»

The Prunes are a fad. Their
music is strictly psychedelic and
their appeal will fade quickly.
They have put all their efforts
toward creating weird new
sounds for background music.
Their album is based on off- beat
sound effects and electrical dis-
tortions rather than on actual
songs.

The trend today is toward
meaningful songs, but in ”Un-
derground" any message con-
tained in the lyrics is obscured
by the background racket. The
listener devotes his attention try-
ing to decipher the cause of the
noises rather than listening for
the meanings of the songs.

The selections in ”Under-
ground" become monotonous
since the beat does not differ
much from song to song with
The Prunes talking their way
through the record.

They are masters at devising
exotic, psychedelic clatter and
have developed this talent into
a popular music form. Their main

worry is that people will quickly
tire of their brand of music.
True Ability Cited

The Tokens base their suc-
cess on true musical ability rather
than on a mere gimmick. They
are not just enjoying a fleeting
period of popularity. They have
been, and will be, around for a
long time.

One of their chief assets is
their adaptibility, learning new
songs and revising old ones to
meet contemporary demands.

”It s a Happening World”
contains ”Wimoweh 51/2 Years
Later," which is a modernized
version of the song that popu—
larized them. The Tokens bridge
the gap between the psychedelic
and the folk song. Their album

Music: Two Different Directions

is a combination of gay and
carefree songs such as “It's a
Happening World" and sad con-
templative songs like "Poor
Man."

The album contains songs
with varied rhythms and is re-
freshing due to The Tokens' ex-
cellent vocal harmony. The T0-
kens and their style of music
will not become stale as quickly
as the noise of electrical appli-

ances. \

Both groups appeal to the

various musical tastes of today's

youth. They have a distinct ap-
peal and both are popular with
current music fans. Both have
their OWn sound which will de-
termine success.

Symphonic Band Staffed;
Elizabethtown Concert Set

Personnel for the 80—piece University Symphonic Band has
been selected and rehearsals for the band s first concert Oct. 31
in Elizabethtown are progressing well according to the Bands

Director, Fred Dart.

The Symphonic Band consists
of both music and non-music
majors. Its first concert on the
Lexington campus is Dec. 10
in Memorial Hall.

Several Types Of Music

A smaller group. the L'niver-
sity Concert Band, is designed
for non—music majors who want
to continue playing an instru-

ment played in high school. The

Concert Band's Director, joe Ba-
sussen, said the Concert Band
will try to present ”several types
of music so that everyone can
appreciate something in the pro-
gram."

Student Forum Plans To Initiate
Intramural Debate For This Year

Student Forum will broaden
its activities this year to include
intramural d e b a’ t e, chairman
Tim Futrell said Dynday. ,

The organization has limited
its activities the past four years
to high school debates.

F utrell said this years da
calls for an intramural“ bate
tournament similar to the Quiz
Bowl, a campus debate series,
the regular monthly debate
tournaments for high school
students and a clinic for com-
munity and junior colleges at
the Kentucky Speech Educators
Conference Sept. 29.

SF will hold an open meet-
ing for interested students at
7 p.m. Tuesday in Room 111
of the Student Center.

The intramural tournament,
Futrell said, will be open to
all students not participating in
intercollegiate debating. Forum
members will coach the various
teams, and qualified students
and faculty members will
critique after each debate.

The campus debate series will
be an open forum on any cur-
rent issues, Futrell said. One

possibility is a speech” by a
member of the Campus Com-
mittee on Human Rights and
rebuttal by members of various
organizations he opposes.

The Forum will name the
“Ou'tstandingI-IighSchool

Student" next spring, based on

the student's overall grade
standing and ability in speech
and performance as demon-
strated in interviews with the
judges. A “S of the
Month” will be held for
exceptional speech students
throughout the state.

men over in Physical Plant Divi-
. sion describe it, signs on the Wall
are to be left alone except for ob—
scenities or words in bad taste.
And while one could quibble over
what constitutes bad taste, the
new policy is at least preferable
to the massive blotting that took
place through the summer.

During thé‘ summer months
nothing was allowed to re \'
painted on the Wall, and any at-
tempt at expression was totally
and efficiently painted over. Phrases
about University image and “what
parents might think” were prof-
fered as reasons for the blotting
effort. The Kernel argued long and
vigorously that the Wall should be
‘left alone, and now matters have
improved.

Striking back at charges that
antipoverty workers helped start
some of the summer’s riots, the
.Office of Economic Opportunity
has offered counter evidence list—
ing over 30 cities in which summer
programs were vital in preventing
disorders.

Answering congressional criti-
cism against many OEO programs,
the report cites community action
workers, municipal leaders, and
police officials who find much to
praise about the summer antipov-
erty workers.

Similarly it’s about time the
real value of the programs was
realized by the rest of the coun-
try. By and large most of the pro—
grams — Appalachian Volunteers,
Headstart helpers, VISTA workers,
municipal youthcorpsmen, etc.—
are made up of recent college grad-
uates or students on summer va-
cation. Being that close to the
campuses they are particularly sen-
sitive to the inequities suffered
by the poor with whom they work;
and not being totally naive about
methods of community organiza-~
tion, they are frequently able to
point out to the poor exactly where
the local power structure is giving
them a raw deal. ..

Wall - Policy Improving

No doubt there are many who
would glance at the Wall—its slo-
gans, its announcements, its humor,
its warnings—and snicker, “What
trivia!" But those same people
would do well to assess the func-
tion the Wall has performed since
its sudden appearance last spring:
it has become a vital core of com—
munication between constituent
elements of the University com-
munity. ,

Up until this point The Kernel
alone has acted as a mass medium
of communication on this campus;
there has been no other outlet
available to all members of the
community wherein information
from and about all its members
could be made public.

The Wall is immediate, and
nothing stands between the indiv-
idual or group and the message
to by circulated. In that sense the
Wall becomes almost McLuhanes—
que in its facilitation of instantan-
eous, direct communication for a
relatively small community like this
one.

Given the context of a univer-
sity, where communication is cen-
tral to the learning process, and
where an interplay of ideas defines
the institution’s role, the value of
the Wall takes on even wider mean-
ing. Freedom of expression in the
use of the Wall is therefore an
absolute essential which must be
maintained.

Antipoverty Workers Valuable

\

Naturally those at the top of
the power structure are likely to
be upset, even downright mad,
when somebody comes along to
.stir the people up enough to de—
mand their rights—in short, when
someone comes along to question
the way things are. Indications
are that is precisely what hap-
pened this summer with Appala-
chian Volunteers in Pike County,
and according to the CEO report,
that “has been part of the pattern
across the country.

And what else is it" that the
CEO workers were supposed to
do, if it was not to improve the
lives of those people who suffer
the scourge of poverty. And then,
what else can happen but a dis—
ruption of the existing social order
if these people's condition is to
improve.

Together with OEO's report di-
rectly from the nation's cities
(which include such statements as
Providence Mayor Joseph Doorley:
“As far as I’m concerned, if it
wasn’t for the poverty workers there
is no telling how bad the situation
might have been") and there
should be little doubt that we

ought to recognize. a good thing"

when we've got it.

Letters To The Editor

 

Evolutionfieminar Coverage
Inaccurate, Biologist Declares

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

Most mornings I wake up happy and
optimistic, feelingthat what my colleagues
and I are doing in this University is
really worthwhile and that the whole
concept of a university of this kind is
reasonable and realistic. Then I read
something like Owen Hendrixon's report
on Ernst Mayr's Theoretical Biology lec—
tures (Kernel, Sept. 14) and I go back
into my lab in a black mood determined
to never again speak to more than two
people at a time.

I really wonder what good we are doing
in lecturing to large numbers of blank
faces when feedback like this indicates
that the minds are blank, too. Your
reporter's article reads like the notes of
an idiot freshman who has just barely
caught some of Prof. Blow's mumbled
comments while the bell was ringing.

In the first place, Hendrixon appar-
ently can't or won’t read. The title of
the seminars was posted in half—inch
letters all over campus as ”The Mean-
ing of Evolution," not ”The Phenomena
of Evolution."

One of Mayr's major points was the
relative clarity with which biologists now
view the process of evolution; partly
because of the work of Mayr himself'and
his remarkable insight, the mechanism of
evolution is really Quite well understood.
There is general agreement among biolo-
gists about the major features of the pro-
cess and there is an enormous amount
of reliable and generally accepted infor-
mation about its details. Why, then, did
the article and its headline say just the
opposite? .,

Mayr quite clearly stated that the enor—
mous unity of structure among all or—
ganisms, from bacteria to higher plants
and animals, makes it quite improbable
that the organisms on this planet arose
from more than one primeval pool of
prebiotic materials. Sémehow, your re-
porter managed to hear exactly the op—
posite and said that "it is impossible
that all organisms came from one."

Idon't know how typical your reporter
is of students in this University, nor
can I really compare this student body
with those at other American universities.
However, incidents like this tend to re
inforce my growing conviction that the
only way to really communicate infor-
mation to a large number of students

is to make them read good explanations,
give them an opportunity to ask ques-
tions about things they don't understand,
and question them in tum to let them
prove that they have leamed something.
I am afraid that the brilliant efforts of
men like Ernst Mayr may be wasted on
a large share of their audience.

Recruitment Hindered

When I first heard recently about
the injuries to our football team, I thought,
”Aha, more ammo for the Kernel." Then
several days went by and nothing was
said. I was beginning to wonder what
had happened to the Kernel's campaign
against major sports. Then, they dropped
the Bomb.

True to its usual course, the Kernel
came forth with another sterling attack
on football, claiming that our players
should be saved from the agony of com-
petition in a rough sport. One Question:
Did the Ke el bother to poll the team
to see if theyraant to be saved?l doubt it.

Once the Kernel realizes that ISOme
people like the discipline, strategy, and
competition of football, even at the risk
of personal injury, this stand must be
examined more closely and maybe the
Kernel could find it in its heart to support
its ”parent," the University. We wonder
why the University's recruiting program
is sometimes less
