Kentuckian Shows ‘Unlimited Creative Talent’

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’

City police tried to break up a group of more than a thousand
students in front of the main entrance to Ohio State University.
This student failed to move. The students were supporting blue
collar workers on strike against the university. The strike ended
Monday.

 

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:
