Speaking of the Mississippi
hoodlum as a product of his environment, Dr. Silver said, "The
Mississippi outlaw is almost always a man not long off a
farm: a truck driver, an
unskilled worker, a gas station

out of his own frustrations. He

Professors Discuss
Academic Freedom
For Modern South
Treatment in textbooks of such
subjects as racial integration, federal aid, Supreme Court decisions,
and states rights have brought
protests by alumni and supporters, but administrators have usually defended the right of the
faculty to be free from censorship
in the choice of textbooks."
Restrictions on visiting speakers were also discussed. Dr. Fidler said that in its controls over
visiting speakers, the South docs
not differ from other sections of
the country.
Religious restraints on academic freedom was the next topic. Some church-relate- d
institutions impose religious restrictions
upon the faculty.
In commenting on politics and
community affairs, he said that a
few administrations encourage
activity in such areas, but some
frown on it. He cited instances
in which teachers had been dismissed or harassed for their political activity.
The last subject to be discussed was questionable methods
for controlling faculty expression.
"Academic freedom flourishes
in the South, as elsewhere, when
brave teachers and administrators
have the courage to test it," Dr.
Fidler concluded.
"There is no assurance," he
added, "that greater professional
influence within regional accrediting agencies would produce
more effective vigilance in defense of freedom, but the stakes
institutions established initially are important enough to give it
for the education of Negroes." a trial."

By JANE MARSH
Kernel Staff Writer
A survey of academic freedom
in the South today was made by
Dr. William P. ridler for the
Centennial Conference sponsored
by the UK chapter of the AAUP
Saturday.
"It is especially odd to note
the incongruity that permits the
cultured Southerner, whose preference is generally for the quiet
and indirect approach, to be guilty of condoning unreasonably and
even violent actions by some of
his fellow citizens with whom he
would not mingle socially," said
Dr. Fidler.
"As for the oligarchies which
have existed throughout the
Southland for many years, I believe it is correct to say," he
stated, "that they pose the greatest threat to academic freedom
in the region, since their political
spokesmen have often sought the
dismissals of academic critics
who disagreed with them."
Dr. Fidler divided his report
into six sections. The first dealt
with racial segregation and academic freedom. "From the information at hand," he said, "it
appears that academic communities now relatively free of segregationist pressures are to be

universities; next, in some of the
universities;

New Y WC A Director Meets Challenging Job
By EUGENIA rOVVELL
"A sense of purpose allows you
to be free no matter what comes
along," says Margaret Ann
(Peggy)
Coolcy,
University
YMCA Director. "The experience
will be meaningful."
Miss Cooley, 21, who began
as YWCA Director this September, is a native of Black
Mountain, N.C. She received her
B.A. in Music in 1962 at Wilson

in
Chambersburg,
College,
Pcnn., and her M.A. in Religious
Education at Union Theological
Seminary in New York City in
last year.
hazel-eyeThe sandy-haireY director was talking about the
American students sheJiad been
aware of while in Europe last
year. She said that these students had no sense of purpose.
"There was no integration of
their lives to provide meaning
for them. They were wandering
aimlessly, looking for something
they could not find here."
Her experiences at Union
caused Miss Cooley to realize
that "you must know yourself
as you relate to other people.
There must be perpetual communication with yourself, with God,
with other people."

thing is preparation for life and

The summer after she received
her M.A., Miss Cooley participated in a "Clinical Pastoral
Training" program at the Allen-towPenn., State Mental Hospital. With five other students,
she worked under the hospital
chaplain, "studying and experiencing the dynamics of personality, and the relations between
religion and psychiatry."
"The most important thing
about this program," she said,
"was getting to know yourself
with
communication
through
yourself and with the patients,
sure why we were there. Their
usual question was 'well, are
you going to be a lady
minister?' "
Speaking about religion, Miss
Cooley said that as a way of
life, "religion has to encompass
both emotional and intellectual
aspects. It's hard to find this
synthesis; therefore, religion must
keep moving toward a coherence.
This religion orientation provides
a sense of purpose, too, that is
always growing and changing."

Utilizing a mode of creative
expression themselves, YWCA
members have worked with
human clay "to begin to be
aware of the possibilities for the
expression of inner thought and

Miss Cooley said that this is
one way for students toencounter
the "battle between thinking and
doing, that they may find some
sense of 'why?' coming out of
their actions."
"Students need to be prodded

It was a football weekend and
the streets and walks were filled
with happy fans.
The crowd hustled across the

seemed to be an air of excitement

girls. There was nothing unusual

UK Republican Resolution

Receives Student Praise
To The Editor:

The recent resolution passed by
the campus Young Republican Club
repudiating the John Birch Society
is an example of an action that
we responsible conservatives have
postponed for too long.' We have
allowed the John Birch Society to
speak as the spokesman for conservatism, and in doing so, have
damaged the conservative movement.
We have allowed the intolerant
actions and sometime extreme ideas
to be taken as the true philosophy
of conservatism.

There's nothing more embarrass- what one dean calls "spark,"

ERIC KARNES
Political Science Sophomore
To Tlie Editor:
Slightly less than a month ago,
a Kernel editorial accused the UK
Chapter of Young Americans for
Freedom of attempting to abolish
the UK Students for a Democratic
Society. This accusation was utterly
without foundation in fact and
the officers of YAF denied the
charge.
Shortly after the appearance of
the editorial, the temporary Chairman of YAF, Mr. Hank Davis,
called upon the editor of the Kernel
and requested a retraction. The
editor's reply to this request was
that, having printed letters of
denial from YAF members, the
Kernel had discharged its responsibility in the matter.
Evidently, the Kernel feels that
it may publish any statement (in
700 words or more), no matter how
scurrilous or libelous, as long as
