Investigation Asked
Of Negro Kecraitin
For Basketball Team
Student Cover nment heard a
resolution Thursday calling for an
investigation of the basketball
team's efforts to recruit Negro
players.
The resolution, presented by
Rep. Phil Patton, was tabled and
referred to the Human Rights
Committee.
Patton called attention to the
addition of Negro basketball
d
players at Vanderbilt and
and said a four year old
UK policy to recruit Negroes on
the basketball team is still a
"lame duck."
"The basketball team has attempted to recruit Negroes," said

Strike Hits
Washington
Catholic U
WASHINGTON - A student
have

strike and a faculty boycott
closed classes at Washington's
Catholic University of America.
The strike is in protest of the
firing of a professor, because of
his liberal views on birth control.
Most

of the school's 6,600
students and nearly all of the
university's faculty have decided to stay out of the classroom until the university rehires
Rev. Charles E. Curran, a
professor of moral theology.

Father Curran had advocated
liberalization of the Catholic
Church's view of birth control.
Rev. Paul E. McKeever, president of the Catholic Theological Society of America, said "No
reason for his dismissal was given
and no charge was directed
against him or his teaching.
"Such arbitrariness is contrary to the best academic traditions and distinctly threatens
the freedom of scholarly inquiry."
The strike has drawn widespread support from campus
groups as well as national Catholic organizations.

,

Patton, "but they have attempted
to recruit only the super-sta- r
rather than just the good athlete. On the other hand, they have
not been so selective in signing white athletes."
Patton said later he was being
pressed by certain SG members
who wanted him to prove any discrimination on the part of basketball recruiters. He said that since
there are no Negroes on the team
he felt the burden of proof should
be with the coaches and that
they should explain why they
have yet to sign a Negro.
Supporting Patton's measure,
Don Pratt, a member of the Campus Christian Fellowship, said he
had recently talked to a member
of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC),
who told him that UK has been
"blacklisted" by SNCC for its
failure to recruit Negro athletes.
According to Pratt, Lew
the outstanding Negro
at UCLA, has contacted Jim McDaniels, whom UK
is wooing heavily, and told him
he shouldn't come here.
Patton's resolution asked for
immediate investigation of the
situation and stated that it UK's
basketball recruiting is shown to
be discriminatory, the SG should
publicly censor the Athletic Department.
Attempts arc being made by
both Patton and Pratt to contact
Alcindor regarding the McDaniels incident, they said. They are
also try ing to contact WestleyUn-seland Butch Beard of the University of Louisville, both of
whom were sought by UK, for
questioning about the recruiting
procedures of UK.
Another bill by Patton called
for creation of a SG committee
of students and lawyers or law
professors to study the legality
of towing away cars by the Department of Safety and Security,
and alleged illegal search and
seizure by campus policeon April
15, 1967 of students attending the
Little Kentucky Derby.
Patton requested that the committee be appointed by the newly
d

n

so yi

elected SG assembly and asked
that they meet during the summer
of 1967.
He added that should the legality of the actions be found to
be questionable, a test case be
undertaken to determine their
legality.
If such a case should be initiated, Patton urged the SG
it through "contributions
from the student body and other
interested persons or with funds
derived from its own budget."
'
A similar proposal was submitted by Sheryl Snyder, although
Snyder's bill concerned only the
parking problem. He suggested
that a study should be made of
student parking problems saying
the "towing away (of) improperly
parked cars of students is an
obnoxious and possibly illegal
policy." Both the Patton and
Snyder measures passed.
Snyder submitted two additional bills, one calling lor creation of two more Cabinet posts
in Student Government and the
other requesting establishment
of a monthly SG newsletter. Both
passed.

The Cabinet proposal would
add a Department of Forums to
be primarily concerned withSG's
Contemporary Issues Forum, an
initiate of the 1966-6assembly,
and a Department of Parking and
Traffic to assume responsibility
"in all matters relating to parking and traffic in and around the
University."
A resolution was passed to
form a committee to investigate
the feasibility of establishing a
branch of a commercial bank on

Universities, trying new

making increasing use of resident artists of all types, are creating excitement in the art world
but are missing the chance to
make the arts a part of everyday life.
That appeared to be the consensus reached Thursday by a

also expressed concern that "anti-art- "

the younger generation may eventually destroy the arts.
The concern seemed, shared equally by two of the panelists,

Listen, Mr. President!

The United Stales government
has turned another deaf ear to
the public protests of the American involvement in Vietnam, as
indicated by an official reaction
to the mass peace demonstrations
in New York and San Francisco

last Saturday.
The old device of discrediting
the demonstrators was used, that
of saying the protest was created
largely through the actions of the
Communists. At least this was
the idea asserted by Secretary of
State Dean Rusk, who has said
the demonstrators "will not affect
the conduct" of the American participation in Southeast Asia.
Although figures largely vary,
it appears that about a quarter
of a million people took part in
the demonstrations. All Secretary
Rusk could say was "that the authorities in Hanoi may misunderstand this sort of thing, and the
net effect of these demonstrations
will be to prolong the war and
not to shorten it."
He added, "Now we don't know
whether Hanoi is sufficiently so-

Letters To The Editor:

ROTC's Ideologies Are Limited
To the Editor of The Kernel:
The point in respect to the criticism of ROTC has been missed.
Of course, students are allowed
to speak out, to differ in military
science classes, and, of course, if
one has an army, one must also
have "trained" leaders. But the
criticism of military science programs goes much deeper; it goes,
in fact, to the level of social philosophy and ideology. And that military science does have.
choosing among
Any
alternatives during class discussions, for example will be necessarily limited to the alternatives
provided by that particular ideology. To choose otherwise is to go
beyond the bounds of the military
game.
For those who are seriously
interested in the question, I refer
you to an analysis by W. H. Boyer,
philosopher at the University of
Hawaii, who has authored outlines, textbooks and other instructional materials used in military
science courses. His conclusion, in
part, is that "They (the ideological themes) constitute a view which
corresponds closely to the social
philosophy variously labelled inso-call-

law) realism. The view is
and leaves no room for
rival democratic social philosophies.
"It forms an absolute separation between the complete goodness of its view and the complete
evil of the only other view conabso-lutist-

sideredCommunism. The way
the problem is posed, one can
select between black and white,
goodness and evil, God and the
devil. After the stage is set the
American soldier is encouraged to
use his democratic right to choose."

More Statements From Facility Members On Yielnam
The Citizens for Peace in

Viet-

nam group has solicited statements

from faculty members seeking an
end to the war. Some were published yesterday and others arc
carried below. The committee had
scheduled a Sound Off on the war
today but postponed it until Monday because of the rain.

Insecurity'
Speaking to a slightly difaspect of the Vietnam
conflict, I would like to comment on the psychological requisites and results of recent
ferent

American foreign policy. A principal reason for American involvement in any part of the
world is a desire for psychological security and order. In the
mind of the American policymaker this is usually equivalent
to support of regimes he can

understand.
Strictly American notions of
sense and nonsense are transmitted throughout the world in
American

foreign policy.

Com-

bined with the power confrontations that have always been a
part of world politics, this can
lead to incremental involvement
anywhere. Usually the power aspects of international jockeying
are justified in terms of a conflict of values basic to the antagonists.
Here is the rub. Compelled
by psychological insecurity characteristic of the very fabric of
our society to affirm support
for his own system, the American must actively oppose others.
He can do nothing dramatic to
live peacefully in his own land.
Hence to enjoy strong identification and psychological anchoring with the American system,
others must be bloodied. As insecurities within society deepen,
opposition to external ideologies
assumes the overtone of a holy
war.
These have only brought
death and misery. The truth has
never won in such a war; men,
women, and children lose. A holy
war seems to be developing in
Vietnam. Yet, as implied, a major share of the blame for that
war must rest upon ourselves
and the fabric of the society
we created. It is here we should
take corrective measures, not in
Vietnam.
