Student Center Monday night, John Henson of
the Kentucky Department of Natural Resources
pointed out that the deterioration of the rivers of
Kentucky is a "constant process" stemming from
improper timber practice, strip mining, highway
construction and bad agriculture practices. "People

Dr. Robert Gordon Zumwinkle, an administrator at Eastern
Michigan University, was confirmed as new vice president for
Student Affairs this afternoon by
the UK Board of Trustees.
At the trustees' meeting, President Otis Singletary expressed
enthusiasm for the new vice president and indicated that he was
impressed with Dr. Zumwinkle' s
record in dealing with students.
Dr. Alvin Morris, chairman of
the president's advisory selection
committee, said at the meeting
that Dr. Zumwinkle, one of several persons recommended by the
committee, was the first to whom
President Singletary offered the
vice presidency.

"Of the various people considered by the committee, who
visited the campus, and of the
various individuals the committee recommended to the president as deserving of his consideration, this is the person
(Zumwinkle) for whom the com
mittee had the greatest enthusiasm," Dr. Morris continued.
"The committee was
to learn that Dr. Zumwinkle was President Singletary's
choice for the position," Chairman Morris added.
Summer Arrival
Dr. Zumwinkle, who is currently vice president for student
affairs at Eastern Michigan Uni

versity, will arrive on campus
in the summer.
The new vice president will
replace Dr. Stuart Forth as head
of student affairs.
Dr. Forth, who talked to Dr.
Zumwinkle when the new vice
president visited UK, described
him as "a low-kerelaxed sort of individual."
When the new vice president
arrives, Dr. Forth plans to resume
his academic duties as director
of libraries.

Strip Mining Bills Die
'Open-Hearin- g'
By HAZEL R. COLOSIMO

Kernel Staff Writer

Time is running out for the
Kentucky Legislature and UK's
Environmental Awareness Society (EAS) is trying to stop the

clock.
Only two weeks remain in
Kentucky's
present legislative
session. Making every minute
count, the EAS sponsored what
it termed an "open hearing"
in Frankfort Monday concerning
the dying of anti-stri- p
mining
bills and to urge the legislators
to put these proposals on the
House or Senate floor before the
March adjournment.
As stated in the EAS's pub"
the
participating in
"open hearing"
cited the "common plight" of
their eleven strip mining proposals. "A bill is introduced, referred to a proper committee and
that is the last anyone hears of
it," and thus the bill "dies."
The chairman of the Frank-

lication, "The

Creen-Cram,-

the Frankfort

fort meeting was Andy Grimes
who emphasized the use of the
term "open hearing" in reference
to what the EAS did in Frankfort Monday.
"Maybe it's merely a matter
of semantics," explained Grimes,
"but it certainly wasn't a march
nor was it a protest, in any form.
We merely tried to bring some of
the issues associated with the
bills in the Agriculture and Natural Resources committee to
the attention of the public."

groups met in Frankfort and ap

Realizing that a sufficient amount
of time for discussion of the strip
mining legislation did not exist,
they requested an open hearing.

Crimes.
After "everyone had their little say," as Grimes put it, a
petition which had been circulated both at UK and at Frankfort was brought to the Governor's office. Since Governor Nunn
was "in a meeting and couldn't
be reached," the petition was
'given to one of the Governor's
aides.
The only real problem seen by
Crimes in respect to the success
or failure of the Frankfort hearing was a lack of preparation-bo- th
on the part of those participating Monday and the public's unawareness of the planned

"open hearing."

Grimes said there was a lack
of time for building up support
for the "open hearing." Also,
he cited the fact that many
"thought it was a demonstra-

tion and that turned them

off.

They probably thought there were
other ways to do it."
Future plans of the EAS are
still not set although Crimes
said "I can't see us marshalling
in Frankfort again."
"I guess we'll continue to
bombard legislature with letters

and telegrams."

Student views on hours for
residential hall lounges will also
be gathered from the survey. Preference of hours during which
members of the opposite sex
would be allowed in the dorms
main lounges will be obtained.
The questionnaires ask what

facilities such as the game room,
televisions, or grille would be
used by students if the hours of
the Student Center were extended.
The survey is also concerned
with the question of whether hot
food (hamburgers, cheeseburgers,
etc.) should be made available at
the grilles at the late night hours.

Prohibition Revisited
The Federal government is in
the final stages of another ruthless
campaign to grab power and influence at the expense of the rights
of private industry.
Under the guise of legislating
"to protect the public from itself,"
Congress will almost certainly pass
a bill during this session which
will strip the television industry
of the right to advertise cigarettes.
The basic principle involved is
the same one which was used to
pass the Prohibition Amendment.
And the government used the
same justification for that amendment, namely, that government
does indeed exist to protect the
public from itself.
It is common knowledge that
Prohibition was not agreeable to
the nation. People demanded and
rightly sothat they retain the
right to make their own decisions
concerning what they wanted to

drink.

The debacle of Prohibition is a
clear example of the essential difference between collectivism in
practice and capitalism.
Collectivist theories hold that

since individuals are not wise
enough to make decisions for themselves, therefore a collective (such
as a government body) which is
made up of individuals, must be
instituted to make the decisions
which the individuals themselves
cannot make. The logical contradiction of this theory is clear.
Capitalism, on the other hand,
holds that individuals possess the
inherent right to make the decisions
which concern the disposition of
their lives and property, and that
governments exist only to protect

Yjfj tmjfflkfa I

that right.

Now Congress has decided for
us that cigarettes must be banned.
But how? They learned a lesson
from Prohibition people will not
accept collectivism in concentrated
form.
Thus the decision has been
made, not to outlaw cigarettes, but
to outlaw the advertisement of cigarettes. Clearly, the right of all
people to decide to smoke cigarettes
is threatened with extinction, not
to mention the right of the broadcast media to advertise a perfectly
legal product.

A Last Chance?
The importance of the upcoming Student Government elections
can not be overstressed. Another
failure at such a critical time in
the Assembly's history would sound
the death knell for student representation on this campus.
For the past several sessions,
the Assembly has been a house
divided against itself. Among its
membership are those who would
seek to either destroy it or to alter
its structure beyond recognition.
Continuing this course of action
without mapped direction is of no
value.
University Senate members
claim their major reason for their
denying voting membership to students was that the SG president

of student opinion. This does little
for Assembly respect.
Hopefully, Board of Elections
proposals for increasing voter participation will also spur Assembly
members to work toward a more
representative turnout. It is a certainty that Student Government
will die if it continues to travel
its present path. No reasonable
alternatives are evident in lieu of

this death.
A rebirth is therefore in order,
a rebirth spawned by the collective activism of all Assembly members toward this election. The Board
of Elections has supplied the tool;
and though it has limitations, its
benefits can only be reaped through
honest toil.
