Not a mirage, but a look into UK's housing
situation two years hence is this architect's drawing of the upcoming $17 million dormitory complex
next to Coopcrstown. Groundbreaking ceremonies

for the structure will be next Friday. The dormitory,
which will have its own cafeteria, should house
about 2,700 students.

Scant Turnout Cancels
CORE Protest March
By

JOHN ZEH

Kernel Staff Writer
Newsmen, motorcycle and
plainclothes police, stacked plawas ready
cards everything
but the marchers didn't come.
Protest march and rally plans
of Lexington's Congress of Racial
Equality (CORE) chapter fizzled
Thursday night, as a planned
demonstration
against school
segregation failed to materialize.
CORE officials did, however,
announce publicly their discontent with school district and curriculum operations in the Lexington city system.
"There is definitely some
defacto segregation still in
here," said CORE's
national chairman, Floyd McKissick.
McKissick, who flew in from
Durham, N. C. to investigate
segregation complaints of area
residents, admitted that Lexington officials are trying to improve
the situation.
The failure of the planned
inarch was blamed on organization problems of the Lexington
chapter. Local chairman Henry
Jones said he would resign be

cause

"I can't work with those

people."

He was referring to a faction
of dissident CORE members who
planned last night's march in his
absence.
CORE's segregation criticism
concerns only the city schools.
There have been no complaints
about racial discrimination on
the UK campus, Jones said.
McKissick failed to show up
at the march's starting point,
the Fayette County Courthouse,
and the rally site, an Ash street
church.
He reportedly was in conference with prominent Lexington officials, who were not identified.
At a press conference held
Thursday afternoon at the Second
Street YMCA, McKissick said his
group is mainly dissatisfied with:
1.

The question of "Gerryman-

dering" school districts,

espe-

cially in the elementary schools,
and
2. Curriculum differences at
Henry Clay and Dunbar high
schools.

UK To Get $292,688
Of Federal Grant
The University, along with eight other Kentucky universities
and colleges, will share in a $5.3 million federal allocation this
year.
For the construction of the new engineering building the University received a grant totaling $292,688.
The distribution of $5,331,698 for various capital construction
projects was determined by the Council on Higher Public Education
which met in Frankfort Sept 1. The fur.ds are appropriated by
Congress under the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963.
The allocations are subject to further approval by the U.S.
Co mmissioner of Education.
Applications for federal grants were submitted by 14 Kentucky
colleges. The funds are distributed on a
system which
is based on a complicated formula that ranks colleges according
to such factors as current enrollment, projected growth, existing
facilities, and planned expansion.
Resides the University, these projects were approved by the
council:
University of Louisville, science and chemical engineering,
$SG6,656;
Kentucky State College, Frankfort, library and science,
$330,030; Murray State College, science, $S01,039; Western Kentucky State College, Rowling Creen, science, $1,208,822;
tucky State College, Rowling Green, science $1,208,822; Eastern
Kentucky State College, Richmond, science, $1,070,000; Morehead
State College, science, $467,490; Villa Madonna College, Covington,
$186,529; and Paducah Junior College, equipment
and development, $105,411.

McKissick blamed the problem
on segregated
partly
housing in Lexington:
"So long as you have a ghetto,
then the school problem becomes

acute."

Another CORE official,

Ron-

ald Barry, demanded to know
the official capacity of former
school superintendent James
Ridgeway.
Ridgeway, who resigned, is
still working with the board, but
the nature of his duties has not
been released, Barry said.
Jones said CORE is not trying
to "smear" the present school
plan under new superintendent
Conrad Ott.

"It is deplorable that he(Ott)
had to come into a situation
characterized by many deplorable
conditions. I would place the
blame on Ridgeway," Jones said.
Newsmen and police !e the

"You Ugly Devil!"

A Saving Proposal
major expense for students
at the beginning of any semester
is the purchasing of textbooks. Unless the student is ambitious enough
to track down used books to purchase directly from other students,
his buying must be confined to one
of several nearby campus bookstores.
A

modification of several plans
already in operation at other colleges could give students both buying and selling books a break by
cutting out the bookstore profits.
A simple student book exchange
sponsored by the Student Congress,
the Student Center Board, or some
other major campus organization
would be a real money saver.
A

Drawing on ideas contained in
other working plans, we suggest
that the sponsoring organization
establish a large central exchange
board, listing all courses offered in
the University and placing two
envelopes under the title of each
course.
Students wishing to buy or sell
books for a particular course may

The sponsoring organization
would provide a pricing committee
who would set a fair price on each
book offered for sale, usually the
midpoint between the price paid
by bookstores for a used book and
the price for which the bookstore
resells the volume. For example,
if the bookstores would pay $3 for
a book they would resell for $5 the
exchange price would be $4. This
would bring a higher price for the
seller, as well as a savings for the
buyer.
Any student wishing to make
use of the exchange for buying or
selling books must agree to abide
by the fair price set by the committee.
Also provided by the sponsor
would be a committee to check
for discontinued books so that stu-

dents may know in advance which
textbooks no longer would be used.
Although the exchange, which involves no capital outlay except the
price of the board and envelopes,
could not order new. books, it could
prevent students from being misled
into buying books about to be
discontinued.

The plan requires no stocking of
books by the sponsoring organization. The board would serve merely
as a point of contact for students.
No investment in books or equipment would need to be made by
the sponsor. The exchange would
need no staffing other than volunteer committee members setting
prices and checking on discontinued volumes.
drop their names, addresses, and
telephone numbers into the proper
envelope.
It would be the responsibility
of the students, not the sponsoring
organization, to arrange the purchase. A would-b- e
buyer could
come and look over the selling
offers and contact the book owner
vice versa. The board could operate similar to the travel board set
up last year by the Student Center
Board.

Student Congress officers already have indicated that they
would give consideration to such a
plan, possibly with an eye toward
beginning the project next semester.
We give them or any other

ganization who would be willing
to undertake the project our strong
support. Some students in particular have a genuine need for more
reasonable prices for their

The Shade Of Difference
"By virturc of myself I am
utterly, indisputedly alone."
A Negro Speaking
It seems somehow incongruous
with the nature of a university
comunity that some students are
discriminated against because their
skin is dark.
America is quietly, slowly awakening to the realization that the
Negro is a human being, like any
other, and should be judged on the
same basis as his fellow humans.
A Kernel housing study at the
end of the spring semester disclosed that a majority of Lexington's landloards either have not
been exposed to recent promising
developments in race relations, or
they are unwilling to listen to
reason.
We suspect now, as we have in
the past, the monetary motive is at
the heart of the matter. Many

The Ignorance Of Violence
The chemistry was right. The
oppressive heat of a
day seemed to blend perfectly with
the heat of a century's oppression.
The result was the upheaval of
mid-Augu-

st

Los Angeles.
Now that the smoke is beginning

to settle over the Watts district
of that embittered city, many are
searching for the causes of the
tragedy. At present, because the situation is not yet far enough removed
nor really at an end, the causes
will be difficult to assess. A statement such as was heard from Watts
that "It may not be the right way,
but it is a way," cannot enlighten
the search. It shows little but frustration.
Not even all of the results can
be properly gauged. Only a few
are emerging as clear. Passing over
the propaganda advantage to our
enemies, the uncertainty caused to
our friends, the blow dealt to the
movement for equal opportunities
and fairer treatment of the Negro
race, look at the strike against the
individual Negro.
We are speaking of the individual Negro in Los Angeles, in
Chicago, in Atlanta, in Lexington.
Here the Negro man or Negro
woman had begun to make strides,
though perhaps slow, toward being
accepted for his individual worth
and for the contribution he could
make for the good of the community

and the area. It is this man or
