By DICK KIMMINS
Associate Managing Editor

The 1967 Kentuckian does not chronicle
the year as traditional yearbooks do;
it memorializes it.

Divided into two books, the Kentuck-
ian captures not events, not meetings,
not people, but a mood; a mood that
can be thmst from a photograph with
only the genius of a Sam Abell.

As Editor, Abell imposed his seemingly
unlimited creative talent upon thegbook,
and so effectively conveyed his mastery
with a camera through it.

Technical problems barely impede the

yearbook, but they unfortunately do. Book
1 is a portfolio of an atmosphere; Book 2
is the rote photography of people—people
in groups, people alone, people in the
Greek system.

Book 2 Disappointing

And Book 2 is a let-down. After the
power in Book 1, Book 2 is a 90-degree
plummet to traditionalism. Book 2 might
as well have been printed by Vanity Press.

It is Book 1 that will be remembered
in campus history. Only by looking at
these photographs can one so fully re-
live UK 1967.

The Kentuckian starts slow and builds.
The reader begins to remember and imag-

ine. And what gutter tribute can you'

give to_a book than that it made you
remember and think?

Taylor Publishing Company performed
well. The binding is infinity-strong; the
paper is of excellent quality and texture;
the printing is breath-taking.

Praise Inadequate
But praise and superlatives can never
do justice to what the Kentuckian staff
has assembled in the book. In pictures on
facing pages, most of the poses will be

similar, the lighting from the same angle,
the background either contrasted or bal-
anced.

It can be said safely that no phase
of the University environment is deleted
from the 1967 Kentuckiau. It follows the
unheralded swimmer, the unsung research
assistant, the firefly existence of an act-

ress.
Much, much more happens on a col-
lege campus. that the Wilson Picketts, the
pep rallys and Greek events, and the
Kentuckian tells it like it is.
You'll never forget the 1967 Kentuck-
ian. It's that kind of a book.

Bloody Revolution

Hinted By Braden

A man once convicted of sedition forecast Monday a change
in the social order which he said may be brought about by a

”bloody revolution. "

Carl Braden, whose sedition
conviction was later overturned
by a Supreme Court decision,
said here that the social order
change would come despite re-
sistance from "the opposition—
the 200 families in this country
which have all the money.

”The people now in power
won't bring about the changes
that are necessary," said Mr.
Braden, who is executive direc—
tor of the controversial South-
ern Conference Education Fund,
based in Louisville.

Recently Mr. Braden, his wife
and three others were charged
with sedition in Pike County.
The charges were dropped after
a three—judge federal panel ruled
the state sedition statute uncons-
titutional.

‘We Must Organize'

Raising his voice and striking
the podium, Mr. Braden declared
"we must organize and petition
the govemment . . if the op—
position succeeds there will be
bloody revolution. "

Asked to describe what chan-
ges must be brought about Bra-
den called for a guaranteed mini-
mum income ofat least $60 a week
for every family and $30 a week
for every student and single per-
son.

 

The guaranteed wage would
apply only to those who showed
a willingness to work, Mr. Bra-
den said. The money forthe wage
would be that which is now fi-
nancing the war in Vietnam.

“We must stop the war in
Vietnam and avert the $24 bil-
lion to something useful," Mr.
Braden said.

“Leader Of Masses'

Mr. Braden, who made his
comments before a Student Bar
Association Fomm audience, de-
picted himself as something ofa
leader of the masses against ”the
opposition."

He said his organization is
trying to “arrive at what the
problems are and what can be
done about them."

Mr. Braden said his guaran—
teed wage plan could be effected
by amending the Social Security
Act. Everyone willing to would
get the minimum wage and gov-
eminent and industry would try
to find jobs for everyone.

He said his plan would re-
quire that the work week he
cut from 40 to 30 hours a week
to provide work for more people.

Other facets of his plan are
to lower corporation profits and
increase wages and "social se-

curity measures of all kinds.”

Carl Bradm, director of Southern Conference Educational Fund
who was recently arrested for sedition in Pike County, talks with

some of his audience at the Law School forum.

Ombudsman
Referendum

Rescheduled

The referendum on the om-
budsman issue will be held Oct.
17, Pat Fogarty, chairman of
the legislative committee or-
ganizing the referendum, an-
nounced last night.

It was originally scheduled
for Oct. 11.

Rescheduling was effected to
avoid conflict with mid-term
exams and to allow more dis-
cussion on the question, Phil
Patton, member of the commit-
tee, said.

Allen Youngmen and Mike
Davidson, also mmbers of the
special committee, plan to use
the Kernel Soapbox later this
week to explain why they sup-
port a staff ombudsman.

Another Article Planned

Twice this semester, Student
Government has rejected a stu-
dent ombudsman proposal from
President Steve Cook, and Oct.
5 voted to take the controversy
to the student body.

Polling booths will be open
in the Student Center and Com-
merce Building from 9 am. to
5 pm. next Tuesday and in
Blazer and Complex cafeterias
during lunch and dinner hours,
Miss Fogarty added. Students
must present ID's to vote.

‘Move 0n’

Poll Finds 71.8%
Like Ombudsman

By DICK KIMMINS
A representative sample of University students shows that
71.8 percent think that any ombudsman should be a student,
and 52.9 percent think that the student should be a Student

Covemment appointee.

The poll, conducted by tele»
phone last week, asked a ran-
domly-drawn sample ”Should the
ombudsman be a student or a
non-student?"

An overwhelming majority,
71.8 percent, said the ombuds-
man should be a student, 17.2
percent said he should be a non-
student and 11.0 percent had
no opinion.

When asked whether the om—
budsman should be an elected
officer, an officer appointed by

the University administration, or
an officer appointed by Student
Government, respondents fa-
vored the SC appointee.
Twenty-seven percent said the

office should be decided by elec-

tion, and 16.3 percent said the'

ombudsman should be appointed
by the University administration.

Over 70 percent said they fa-
vored the program as proposed by
Student Government President
Steve Cook. Eleven percent did

Supreme Court To Rule On Law
Aimed At Draft Card Burnings

WASHINGTON (UPI) ~ The
Supreme Court agreed Monday
to decide the constitutionality of
the 1965 law making it a federal
offense for a person to burn his
draft card.

The court will hear arguments
on the issue later this term in
a Boston case. The 1st U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals there
invalidated the law last April
10.

The lower court decision was
appealed by both the Justice
Department and David P-
O’Brien, 20, of Framingham,
Mass, who was convicted under
the law in Boston Federal Court
in 1966.

O'Brien appealed because
even though the appeals court
stnick down the law, it upheld
his conviction. The court relied
on a federal regulation requiring
a draft registrant to carry his
card with him at all times.

Refused To Review Case

On Feb. 13, 1967, the Sn—
preme Court refused to review

a 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals
case, which involved a card bum-
ing by David john Miller, 24,
at a New York City street rally.

In other action, the Supreme
Court in effect told the deep
south to get to work immediately
on a completelyintegrated school
system.

In a terse announcement, the
court refused to review an order
of a special, l2—judge 5th Cir—
cuit Appeals Court. The order
had told six Southern states to
open all grades in all public
schools to both Negroes and
whites this school term.
each state to bring about at once
”a unitary school system in which
there are no Negro schools and
no white schools—just schools."

Most Influential

After the high court refused
to review it, the National Asso-
ciation For The Advancement
of Colored People said the 5th
Circuit ruling was ”the most
influential school desegregation
opinion" since the Supreme

Court's landmark 1954 decision.

The NAACP said Monday's
announcement would ”acceler-
ate" school integration. It said
“we are proceeding in almost
200 cases . . . To give full ef—
fect to this principal."

The 5th Circuit opinion was
directed to Alabama, Louisiana,
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and
Texas. The supreme court's rc—
fusal closed their main avenue of
appeal.

An estimated 1,761,000 Negro
pupils in the six states could
be affected by the Supreme Court
action.

In the past, federal court or-
ders have been applied to in-
dividual communities and school
districts, but never on a state-
wide basis.

Announced Cases

In a series of orders which an-
nounced which cases the justices
will consider this term, the court
also:

‘Disgrace To Kentucky’

Says Dr. Arnold Pessin
The Unsuccessful Bidder

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN

The University Research Foundation's
purchase of Maine Chance Farm scares
Dr. Arnold Pessin, Lexington veterinarian
who has filed a $30 million antitrust
suit in US District Court.

Dr. Pessin and California horseman
Rex Ellsworth were,the only other bid-
ders for the farm, which the University
purchased for $2 million in late July.

”The Administration believes it is big-
ger than the state government," Dr. Pessin
said in an exclusive Kernel interview.
”If it is that powerful, it ought to be
destroyed."

The suit alleges that UK and the
Keeneland Association conspired to pre-
vent Mr. Ellsworth and Dr. Pessin from
buying the 720-acre horse farm, located
between Spindletop and Coldstream
farms.

,University President John W. Oswald
has denied the charges in two deposi-
tions filed in connection with the case.

Eye Training Farm

Dr. Pessin said he and Mr. Ellsworth
intend to establish a breeding and train-
ing farm for jockeys to compete with
Keeneland.

That the University purchased the
farm does not disturb him, he says;
rather it is the fact that the administra-
tion used ”decietful, unprofessional
means."

”UK — public relations-wise—has been
set back 50 years," he told the Kernel.
He also believes the incident will be

reflected next January when the General
Assembly considers the University’s bud-
get request for 1968—70.

“Dr. Oswald has been a pawn—like
a boy caught in a jam jar—and he is too
proud to back up and say he's wrong,”
Dr. Pessin says.

He calls the Maine Chance contro-
versy a ”disgrace to the state of Ken-

tucky. "
Cites ‘Extreme' Efforts

"The University has gone to extreme
troubles to justify the purchase. It has
published two booklets showing its side
and the Board of Trustees has endorsed
the purchase twice ...And this only
shows guilt on the part of the Univer—
sity."

Dr. Pessin estimated the University
has spent more than $100,000 to get pub-
lic support for the purchase.

"I don't see how Dr. Oswald can
look himself in the mirror in the morn-
ings to shave."

Dr. Pessin does not shame the Uni-
versity in general for the controversy, but
throws the responsibility on the admin-
istration.

”The Board of Trustees has relied
entirely on the administration in this
rmtter, and it has not been presented
the true facts," he said. ”Members of
the board will be very disenchanted when
they do learn the facts."

He said the administration is not
presenting a ”very good example" for
students who come to UK for an educa-

tion. ”If this incident is typical of the
administration, then we should throw
it out and start over again.”

Pessin Elaborates

Dr. Pessin elaborates on the conspir-
acy charges. He says Keeneland Associa-
tion President Louis Lee Haggin II and
the University purchased the farm in an

effort to keep competitive horse sales
companies out of Central Kentucky.

Lexington horseman John A. Bell testi-
fied in another deposition that Haggin
admitted to trying to block competition
in a conversation between Bell, Haggin
and Fayette County Judge Joe Johnson.
Mr. Johnson also quoted Haggin in his
deposition. -

Mr. Haggin allegedly made the state-
ment two months ago at his Woodford
County home. However, he since has
denied making the statement.

Mr. Bell said Haggin told him and
Johnson that competition would prevent
Keeneland from maintaining a ”high
level" of racing in Lexington because of
Keeneland race track's dependency upon
the income it gets from Keeneland's horse
sales division.

‘Thief Hollers Loudest'

“If the University is not in a con-
spiracy, it wouldn't have to say one
thing . . . It's like the old adage
The thief always hollers the loudest,"
Dr. Pessin said.

He bases his charges of a conspiracy
on the connection between Haggin, Lex-
ington attorney Gayle Mahoney and Fred
B. Wachs, publisher of the Lexington
Herald-Leader.

”Gov. (Edward T.) Breathitt was called
by Swinebroad (Lexington realtor George
Swinebroad) and Wachs. He then called
Oswald and told him he should buy
the farm," Dr. Pessin alleges.

”Dr. Oswald-hearing that Ihad bid
on the farm—then called Haggin, my
closest rival, to ask him if the Univer-
sity should buy the farm."

From this, he said Dr. Oswald was
”suckered" into buying the farm.

Dr. Oswald has said the University
became interested in buying the farm
as early as the summer of 1965, when
Dr. William Seay, dean of the College
of Agriculture, suggested it.

He said' inquiries were made at that
time, but the University met with no
success.

Dr. Pessin quoted Clenwood Creech,
vice president for University relations,

as saying UK was interested in the farm
only on a gift basis.

'Not Necessary To Research'

He said the farm is not necessary
to University research, the administra-
tion's major defense for the purchase.

”The College of Agriculture has made
every effort to slow down on equine re-
search and go into other fields. To say
that UK needs Maine Chance for equine
research is a pure cover-up."

Officials in Frankfort are caught be-
tween two giant forces in the Maine
Chance controversy. On the one hand,
the Governor is pledged to support the
University and its future development
while the Legislative Research Commis-
sion and the Attorney General have
questioned the legality of the transac-
tion.

The LRC’s Report, issued Sept. 6,
1967, quotes the report of the Univer-
sity's Executive Committee, which states:

“Since the University did not have
the necessary resources to purchase this
farm and could not legally enter into
any kind of mortgage arrangement, the
University itself could not develop an
offer for the property.”

Further, the report states that “No
legislation has been found which per-
mits the University to create a non-
governmental agenCy to act to receive,

administer, or expend funds derived
from its services, and intended for its
use and benefit.

“Nor is any agency, private or govern-
mental, empowered to accumulate funds
belonging to the University, or to re-
strict their use.

Charge ‘Paper Corporation'

“Insofar as the University of Kentucky
Research Foundation acts to receive and
disburse funds on the University's be:
half, or to accumulate, postpone or con-
dition the transmission of funds to the
University, it acts without the benefit
of permissive legislation."

Deputy Attorney General Henri Man-
geot and Attorney General Robert Mat-
thews agree that the University is “using
a paper corporation to do for the Uni-
versity what the University can't do for
itself and using research grant money
for it."

Throughout the Maine Chance con-
troversy, charges and countercharges,
claims and denials, the University has re-
mained steadfast in its defense ofthe farm
purchase. University needs for develop-
ment, research and protection of interests
have been the key w i s in the defense.

A Board of Trustee _ report summed
up the purchase of the 72l-acre farm as
“necessary . . . for the transfer of agricul-
ture research activities from the present
Agriculture Experiment Station farm; the
needed expansion of research activities in
agriculture; and for the protection of the
investment the University already has in
land and programs on Spindletop and
Coldstream Farms."

it is to these needs that the University
has consistently pinned its reasonsfor pur-
chasing Maine Chance.

1966, was put up for bids some weeks ago
by the executors of her estate. The Execu-
tive Committee of the Board of Trustees,
having been notified that the farm was for
sale, authorized University officials to
prepare an offer, after appraisal of the
land was made. The offer, 32 million,
was submitted to the executors and on
July 31 was accepted by the Bank of New
York, which was handling the sale.

The need for land was based on studies
completed in 1965. At that time the
University conducted studies of agricul-
tural research—and needs for the next 10
to 20 years. The requests by department
chairmen in the College of Agriculture
total 2,768 acres. This overall request
was reduced to 1,400 acres by the college
administration, based on the goals and
objectives of the college and on a review
of priorities for allocation of the research
