BSU Now Seeks

lized

ments of black students here one year ago.
Dut this year the University community hasn't
been and won't be "pestered" by such annoyances.
A shift in Dlack Students Union ideology has led
the group to emphasize recruitment of black students, not athletes. (This central goal is evident
in the new BSU policy statement printed on page
four of yesterday's Kernel.)
"Instead," said Marshall Jones, "we are trying
the sports thing we realize that
to
this is an educational institution, and we will
mainly encourage enrollment of black students
of academic merit."
Jones, the new charismatic BSU leader, attended
Antioch College for two years and then travelled
e
as a Jazz organist with several
bands,
and now heads a Jazz group in Lexington. He is
studying sociology at UK.

"What we are striving for is educational relevancy and more community involvement," Jones
explained.
Civing credibility to that fact is BSU support
of the grape boycott, the San Francisco State
relief drive, and
College BSU, the Nigeria-Biafr- a
the American Association of University Professors
and the American Federation of Teachers.
Jones was somewhat hesitant in replying, when
asked to assess past BSU progress. He finally
said, "Our demands that the University has
satisfied have really been pretty irrelevant to

white students."

In reference to future BSU demands, Jones
stated that the BSU will not "accept any halfway compromises.
"We need funds," he continued. "We can't
get anything done without funds. We will also
ask for a separate office for our use; right now
we are sharing one with the YMCA. We also
would like to see University sponsorship for us
to travel to important black conferences.

The Time For Black-Whit- e
By FRANK COOTS
and GUY MENDES

After viewing "Cassius Le Grand," a
the former heavyweight
champion's transition from Cassius Clay
to Muhammad All, the Muslim "student"
responded to or, rather, preached at questions thrown to him during the College
Editors Conference in Washington last
weekend.
"Uncle Tom'n and being afraid is

and worse. It is like an
pregnant woman whose baby is kicking.
He wants to be free, she is paining. If

"Now black America is kicking and
white America is paining. It's time for a

All was asked if separation is necessary for black unity.
"Unity means separation. If we are
all together, that automatically means

separation."

When Ali is asked a question that
touches on his religious beliefs, he responds by delivering a seeming

"It's not hate I'm talking, it's peace.
Separation is the law of Cod."
He made it clear, however, that what
he wants is "equal" separation and not
token "equality."
Ali makes it a point to throw in a
smattering of his religious beliefs with
every answer he give. Likewise, he never
misses a chance to praise Ely a Muhammad, the Black Muslim leader.
AU said Elija is the originator of the
"black awareness" philosophy: "Everything going today is all Elija Muhammad's programs but they won't give him
credit for it."
The Muslims are working for a separate
black state, but Ali says he cannot give the
"details." "You'll have to ask Elija about

that."

Student Information Team is a student organization
which carries the story of the University of Kentucky
to the high school seniors of the state and encourages
these students, particularly the academically outstanding, to take advantage of the opportunities offered by
the state university. SIT derives its existence from the
idea that the above purpose can best be carried out by
a University of Kentucky student returning to his or her
native area and giving the high school students an idea
of University of Kentucky life from the students' point
of view. Members of SIT will be expected to attend one
evening training session, at which time a representative from the Office of School Relations will discuss the
program and explain what you will do as a member.

* Toward Guaranteeing Students Their Rights
The University Senate Advisory
Committee for Student Affairs has
taken a bold step encompassing a
great deal of work in proposing
the Student Bill of Rights to be
added to the Student Code. The
code, a recent measure which served
the useful purpose of officially
negating the in loco parentis doctrine in favor of treating students
as adults, unfortunately contained
inborn weaknesses.
The most obvious manifestation
of this occurred last semester when

of students property up to an
administrator.

composition six faculty members
and three students on a board deal-O- r
ing with student rights. It seems
only in keeping with the spirit re-presented by such progressive mea
sures as the Student Bill of Rights
that students should have a strong
voice in the running of those aspects
of the University which affect primarily them. Composition of the
board therefore should be at least
half students.

from the cares of the world as has
been proposed by Jacques Barzun?
is it a place where the various
ideologies of the political spectrum
are permitted to clash in whatever
form arises, as has been proposed
by others? The moral again is the
