New Positions Created

Johnson Appointed
Vice President
Of Student Affairs

The Board of Trustees today created a new administrative
position and appointed a new vice president for research development.
Mr. Robert Johnson, now director of the Medical Center's Office
of State and Local Services, was named vice president for student
affairs.
Dr. Raymond C. Bard was appointed assistant vice president for
research development and executive director of the Kentucky
Foundation at today's board meeting.
The trustees' establishment of the vice presidency and their
appointment of Johnson came at the recommendation of President

offices which deals with different activities now concerned with
students affairs will give him an opportunity to think about all
aspects of campus and reorganize policies in the best interests of
the student.
Another reason for the newly created office was explained by the
president. With a rise of the present Lexington campus enrollment
of 10,700 to an expected 14,000 or 15,000 by 1970, such an officer is
increasingly essential.
Johnson, President Oswald said, will assume overall responsibility
for the activities of University offices related to student affairs. These
include the offices of the dean of men, the dean of women, the
foreign student advisers, the counseling and placement services, the
Student Publications Board, and the Office of School Relations,
which handles the student scholarship, loans, and employment
programs. These offices now deal with the president.
He will work with the Student Health Service, operated by the
Medical Center, and will maintain direct liason with Student
Congress and other student organizations.
Johnson said the first thing he plans to do is meet with the
heads of student affairs and with student leadership to become
thoroughly versed withe the daily routine.

Housing Priority Approved;
Trustees Up Housing Rates
The University Board ofTrus-tee- s
today approved a housing
eligibility policy giving first consideration to Kentucky residents.
The Board also sanctioned a
rise in rates in all University
housing facilities.
Policy for single housing eligibility was defined priorities
were established as follows:
1. First consideration will be
given to new freshmen Kentucky

residents.

2. Second and equal consideration will be granted to transfer
students who are Kentucky residents and Kentucky residents
who were enrolled at the Lexington campus during the immediate past semester.
3. Third and equal consideration will be given to non residents who were enrolled during
the previous semester and transfer
students who are nonresidents.
4. Fourth consideration will
be granted new nonresident fresh-

men.
Robert F. Kerley, vice president of business affairs, explained the new policy as follows:
"The regulations are to establish policies giving as equitable
treatment as possible to Kentucky residents and to others in

Mooney said, "has served whatever valid legislative purpose it

in New Haven, Com., by Prof.
Thomas I. Emerson, professor of
law at Yale University, and Dr.
Alexander Meiklejohn, president
emeritus and professor of philosophy at Amherst College, and
winner of the Presidential Medal

The petitioner pointed cut

The petition called for placing

has traditionally dealt with these
matters.
Any powers given to the Judiciary Committee, they said,
should be limited to investigation of overt acts, such as "mutiny, espionage, sabotage, insurrection, and other overt actions
relating to internal security," and
should not include "matters of

* Impressive Program
The Peace Corps has been
one of the most successful programs
of international cooperation which
this country has initiated in its entire history. Now about 9,000 Americans, mostly young in age and all
young in spirit, are working along
with the citizens of dozens of underdeveloped nations in an effort to
share the abundance of human resources this country has available.
From agriculture to educational
television, from fishing to university teaching, from nursing to community development almost every
conceivable talent can be utilized
somewhere in the world to further
the Peace Corps' aims.

It will be difficult to imagine how anyone could get through
next week without hearing about
the Corps. Just as difficult is imagining how anyone could remain
unimpressed by the scope of operations of this organization.
We urge everyone to read the
pamphlets, to talk with the men
here to explain the program. And
for those with two years to contribute to the world, we urge you to
become Peace Corps volunteers.
-- The Daily Cardinal,
University of Wisconsin

College Planning

These aims are noble in endeavor, but small in scope. Few
who enter the Corps entertain delusions of altering the course of
world history or of uplifting the
standards of an entire country. Yet
all have the confidence they can
give a little help to a few people,
and in this small way improve the
welfare of the world.

tion, is facing, like all colleges, the
problem of increased demand for
enrollment. Fortunately, the problem does not constitute an immediate crisis at the college, as it does
at many.

The Peace Corps' recruiters
do not sit still and wait for people
to come to them. They make an
effort to seek out anyone who is
interested in joining, and they don't
even mind speaking with anyone
who just wants to talk.

Graduate Views Paper's Position On Athletics

To the Editor of the Kernel,
I really hate to have to say
this, but I believe that the Kernel
is fighting a losing battle in tak-

ing the stand that it has on the
role of a major athletic program
in the total University program.
It's not that I don't agree with
the paper's position I emphatically agree.
The problem centers around the
fact, I believe, that a university
has to rely to a large extent upon
financial support from its alumni.
Unfortunately, in the case of the
University of Kentucky, the alumni
haven't had much to cheer them,
until very recently, that didn't come
on a football field or a basketball
court. Therefore, they cherish their
one source of pride in their old
school to a very extent.
What these loyal alumni don't
seem to realize is, that outside of
the South, the University of Kentucky is widely regarded as "that
hillbilly college with the good
basketball team." For all too long,
the athletic teams have carried the
morale ball for these frustrated
alumni, who undoubtedly would
have preferred to boast about the

school's excellence in the arts, in
the sciences, in engineering, etc.
The only problem would have been
that they would have been kidding
no one but themselves.
As a recent graduate of the University, I realize this only too well.
I am now living in another state,
and I am only too painfully aware
of the chilling change that people
I am talking to undergo when I
tell them that I am a University
of Kentucky graduate. Don't get
me wrong I feel a great deal of
pride in my school, but when I
defend it, I don't talk about its
winning basketball teams or its
promising football future. I talk
instead, of the excellent leadership
of President John Oswald, our fine
library, our vastly improved physical plant, and our long range plans
for academic excellence.
Basically, what I am trying to
say is that it would probably be
more practical of the Kernel to be
a little more patient with the overemphasis of athletics until the
visionary plans of Dr. Oswald and
his associates reach fruition. Until
that time, the paper will be butting
its head into a brick wall when it

tries to tell students, alumni, and
friends of the University that they
should be more concerned with
other things than athletics. Even
if it is right.

The editorial cartoon by II
in the Dec. 3 issue of the
Kernel raises interesting questions
which I believe the Editor of the
Kernel should endeavor to answer.

Democrats, and Independents, and
must not be used to advance one
party, candidate, or philosophy
over another.
The Kernel must be guaranteed
its freedom of speech, but it must
also be responsible enough to present both sides of the coin, either
by editorial or cartoon, as it does
with columnists Buckley and
If the Editor of the Kernel believes his liberal Democratic philosophy is so faulty that it cannot
stand alongside that of conservative Republicanism to be judged by
the student, faculty, and staff of
UK, then he is welcome to continue
his policy of presenting only one
side. However, the University community will realize that by his
censorship, he is admitting the fact
that his philosophy cannot stand
alongside conservatism, for it would
fall on its face when confronted with
the conservative philosophy.

Since the cartoon was purely
the Kernel must be
interpreted as endorsing a certain
candidate, party, or philosophy, as
it did when it supported Lyndon
Johnson for the Presidency in November. Where does the Kernel obtain the right, legal or moral, to
indulge in partisan politics? Since
the Kernel is published with state
university funds and on state owned
property? Since the students of the
University are hardly of one mind
All I ask is for the Kernel to preon anything, let alone politics, how
sent both sides. Is that asking so
can the Kernel attempt to speak for much of
the "greatest college paper
the students of UK. The
money in the South?"

1964: The Year Of The Student Protest
By PAUL DANISH

Collegiate Press Service
This is fast shaping up to be
the year of the student protest
at the nation's colleges and universities.

Students on campuses in all
parts of the country have staged
a rash of demonstrations and protests on a wide array of national,
international, and local issues,
and no let up seems in sight.
Protest action has been aimed
at

everything

from

new

reg-

ulations governing the consumption of alcohol at Trinity College
in Hartford, Conn, to policies
restricting student political activity at the University of California, and almost everything in
between.
At the University of Pennsylvania, several hundred students demonstrated aeainst the

Rioting At California
Tomorrow
construction of a new fine arts
building on campus on grounds
that it would destroy one of the
few

tree-shad-

open spots on

the university.
At the University of Texas,
the campus chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society
picketed against the use of Black

Face in a campus minstrel show
on grounds that it was degrading
to the Negro and the university's Negro students.
At City University of New
York, students organized a two
month campaign favoring free
tuition, and worked to defeat
candidates for the state legislature who opposed it.
At the University of Michigan,

A

a student political party staged a

demonstration demanding

"campus democracy now," as
well as more money for teaching, new student housing, better
facilities, increased student wages, and a lower cost of living on
campus.
Much student protest activity
has centered on civil rights. At
the University of Colorado, the
campus chapter of the Congress
on Racial Equality picketed a
resturant which had refusal to
hire a Negro girl. The restaurant
gave her the job within an hour
after the picketing began.
At Bradley,
the university
chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People has been trying to
get a local barber to take Negro
customers.
The biggest, longest, and best
organized of the protests, however, is at the University of California at Berkeley, where hundreds of students have been contesting a ban on campus political activity since last September.
Since it was instituted in September the ban, which prevents

student political organizations

from distributing literature,
members, and soliciting
funds in an area adjacent to the
university's student union, has
sparked a number of demonstra-tion- s
and protest violations, as
well as an administration threat
of mass suspensions.
At one point, a protest demonstration focused on a campus
police car drew a crowd so large
that university officials summoned 400 riot police to the campus.
Since then, a number of factions

have

trial to mediate the

dispute but without
much success. Neither the students nor the administration has
shown much inclination toward
compromise.
There is no single reason behind all the protests, but a good
many of them especially those
aimed at university
administrationshave centered on the
issue of "In Loco Parentis," or
the question of to what extent
the university can perfor
