Hall Presents Case
For Beer On Campus
By JIM FUDGE
Kernel Staff Writer
Dean of Students Jack Hall
reportedly has told a Student

Government committee that the
sale of beer on campus is a possibility for the future.
.The sale of beer in the Student Center was one of the issues
discussed by the Student Services Committee Monday night
following a report on the matter by Ducky Pennington, who
had discussed the topic with
Dean Hall.
Pennington also presented reports on women's hours and police on campus, which he also
discussed with Hall.
In his report, Pennington said
Hall outlined a procedure that
may allow the sale of beer in
the Student Center. He said Hall
indicated that since the University itself could not sell beer,
space perhaps could be leased
in the Grill to a private distributor who would sell the beer.
Beer sales could be allowed, however, only if certain regulations
were met, Hall reportedly said.
Certain Regulations Necessary
Pennington said Hall described the regulations as follows:
y Beer could be served only to

purchasers with ID's confirming
that they were over 21.
Beer could be served only in

Beers should be sold one to a

customer to "prevent" buyingfor
people under age.
Beer would not be allowed
outside the drinking area, which
possibly would be the Crill.
Hall allegedly told Pennington that the method had been
used by other universities with
success, and that he sees no reason why it would not be successful here. He also said that no
hard liquor could be sold.
On women's hours, Pennington reported that Hall sees a
general liberalization of women's
hours, but that the dean sees no
possibility of total elimination in
the near future.
Committee chairman Steve
Bright commented that "just because Hall sees no elimination
of women's hours, there is no
reason the (Student Services)
committee cannot be for it." The
bill on women's hours subsequently was returned to its committee for further study.
Police On Campus Discussed
Pennington's final report was
on the issue of police on campus.
Hall was reported to have said
on this topic that a bill passed
by Student Government in opposition to police on campus
could lead to "negative reaction."
In reaction to Hall's reported
statement, Bright said that "to
try to ignore the issue will not
make it go away. If it is not
acted on by Student Government,
someone else will act on it."
Bright further said he would
favorably represent a bill, titled
"End Political Surveillance,"
which his committee has been
working on to the Student Government Assembly.

Seniors Will Participate

Ruling Affects UK Lawyers
By GEORGE J EPSON

Managing Editor
W. L. Matthews, dean of the
UK College of Law, indicated
Monday night that his college
would take full advantage of a
new ruling of the Court of Appeals which will allow senior law
students to practice on a limited,
basis.
"It will make it possible for a
few senior law students to represent indigent persons in the courts

Dean Matthews said.
He said Prof. Robert Lawson
and William Fortune, director
and assistant director of the legal-aiprogram respectively, were
already examining the possibilities of the new ruling and trying
to determine what kind of legal
problems and court appearances
would be best for the students
to participate in.

UK Coed's Nightly Problem: To Walk Or Not To Walk
By MARILU DAUER
Kernel Staff Writer
If you're a UK coed, how do you feel about being

out alone at night?
A number of coeds were questioned about their
night" feelings, and most of the answers
were similar.
Although most coeds say they make it a habit not
to be out alone at night, several said that it was necessary for them to be out alone after dark three or four
times a week. Some worked, studied, or had classes.
The ones that were out alone frequently found it
difficult to find walking partners. One said, ''Who wants
to go with anybody toa French lab, anyway?" One coed
said that if you do find someone who's going out after
dark, you usually are going different directions at different times.
Some Learn Karate
Several coeds said that they aren't tooafraldof walking alone any more because they've learned karate. One
coed doesn't know karate, but her best friend does, and
she usually volunteers to go with her.

Bright Defends Student Involvement
During Kiwanis Club Luncheon Speech
Steve Bright, Student Government representative, argued on
behalf of student involvement
in University affairs in a speech
to the Lexington Kiwanis Club
Monday.
Bright presented his speech
at a luncheon of the club, and
said he seemed to get favorable
reaction to it.
Bright told the group of requests for more student involvement in affairs that affect them
y
academically and on a
day-toda-

basis.

He said students are the people most affected by University
decisions, and that they also
would be the ones to suffer most
from inadequate professors and
what he called irrational regulations.
"For this reason," Bright said,
"students should have a voice in
academic affairs, as well as those
matters that affect them on a
basis."
Bright also said that "students expect more than Just being listened to they expect re
day-to-da-

y

sponses from what they say."
"The administration should
react to the students. They have
asked for, and should get, a bigger
voice in student affairs," he said.
Cuest speaker Bright also explained that he saw no reason for
a formal rules on bringing outside
speakers to UK.

Kentucky's Wild Rivers
Preservation of Kentucky's wild
rivers will be a topic of considerable debate when the 1970 Kentucky General Assembly convenes
in January.
A bill, which has been called

before the Assembly in many years,
will be introduced which would provide authorization for the acquisition of narrow land corridors along
sections of streams designated as

of course, it will be too late.
Many ecologists think it is already too
late, that vertebrate life will disappear
within the next 20 years or so. The extinction of many life forms now taking
place will have dire consequences. A
fundamental theorem in ecology is that
the more complex the ecosystem the more
stable. The simpler the system, the more,
drastic the population fluctuations among
its members. Drastic fluctuations lead
to habitat destruction and extinction of
additional species. A fine example is the
starfish that is eating the coral reefs in
the south Pacific from Australia to Hawaii.
Such ecocatastrophes will become ever
more common in the future.
An ecologist friend once told me he
thinks Cod will survive as a monarch
butterfly, certainly a lovely creature as
compared to man. But the butterflies are
nearly gone now. Remember before 1945
when every flower garden had tiger swallowtails, black swallowtails, fritillaries,
monarchs and half dozen other species?
Seen any of these lately? Only little white
cabbage butterflies remain common. I am
betting on the blue green algae.
