UK Students and Faculty Act Out

University Problems in Workshop

By DAIILIA HAYS
Kernel Copy Editor
Picture yourself, for Just a moment, a student at Standough
University, where the kidnapping
of the university's President
Strong by a radical group known
as SPER (Students for Political
and Educational Reform) has created a chaotic riot situation.
Standough University is the
make-beliesetting in which
about 75 students, faculty members and administrators found
themselves when they attended
the Student-Facult- y
Workshop
Saturday morning in King Alumni House.
Standough, described to the
participants as a "medium-size- d
state school with an enrollment
of 18,000 students (including
graduate and professional students)," is like many real-lif- e
universities which have fallen
victim to campus unrest recently.
In the case of Standough, the
"riot" situation was precipitated
largely through the demands of
the radical organization SPER-dema- nds
upon which "President
Strong" and his assistants had
not acted at the time the riots
broke out.
SPER Makes 'Demands'
The "demands" made by
SPER included:
Time off from classes for
participation in the political campaign of an antiwar candidate.
An end to government financing of separate institutes on
campus.
Apartment-lik- e
living conditions in the residence halls.
Student advisers to the administration officers who have
veto power over all decisions.'
Students on all tenure and

salary committees of the University.
Sale of beer in the Student
Union.
This situation, according to
the orientation given the workshop participants at the beginning of the seminar, was responsible for the "tension" which
resulted at Standough, and the
factions into which various individuals and student groups
found themselves divided.
Workshop participants were
then divided into six groups:
Faculty Senate, Administration,
Student Government, Graduate
Students, Students for Political
and Educational Reform (SPER),
and the Let's Stop Destruction
(LSD) group.
Role Playing
Within the groups, each member was assigned a specific role.
An attempt was made to give
participants a chance to play
roles totally unfamiliar to them

Ceoflrey Pope, one of the members of the new student collective

The jam session was sponsored by the Musicians' Pool and the
Kernel Photo By du Wu
Students for Action and Responsibility.

In a four-hospan, about 400 persons attended the first Free U. frisbee tournament and
sat in rhythm to the music supplied by the Musicians' Pool.
The frisbee contest had about 40 contestants.
At one point it looked as if the referees would
lose control of the situation. The third division,
"Long Distance Partner Throw," was almost
finished, when, of about twenty duos, only three
teams were left.
They threw, and all the receivers dropped
their frisbees. The other competitors decided that
the whole thing should be started again because
there was no winner. The referees were swamped,
and shouts of "anarchy" and "power to the
people" were heard.
Watermelon Awarded
Eventually, organization was reestablished and
Rick Cardner and Montgomery Moore were
e
awarded the
watermelon. Jack McCrath
and Bob Clausing placed second.
In the other categories, Rick Gardner also placed
first in the "Individual Long Distance Throw"
at a distance of about 65 yards. Larry Ciesmann
first-priz-

and Dale Matthews placed second and third,
respectively.
The "Fancy Frisbee Throw" was won by Ronnie
Wies, who never actually threw the frisbee but
instead ran around Stoll Field and finally collapsed in front of the spectators. Larry Ciesmann
threw three at once to win second prize and Dale
Matthews took third place.
The women eventually got tired of not being
represented and had a competition of their own.
Katie McCarthy and Deane Patton proved their
and were declared
competence at frisbee-throwithe winners.
Afternoon Of Music
The music continued throughout the afternoon,
interrupted at intervals by announcements and by
Don Pratt giving an impromptu history of the frisbee. Jamie Oberst, Sam Mason, "Weasel", Eimo
Sunflower, and other members of the Musicians
Pool provided most of the sounds.
The festival was given to "kick off the fall
seuie&tcr" of Free U., said Paul Wertheinjer, Free
U. coordinator. In connection with this, a preliminary list of courses was distributed. The 23
course titles ranged In content' from "Radical
Politlci" to "How To Make A Punch Rug.'
They will begin Wednesday, Sept. 16. Permanent catalogues will be available at a booth
in the Student Center Monday through Wednesday or in the Free University office at 304 Frazee
Hall.

Assigned roles in several
cases did not correspond to the
personal beliefs of the participants.
The interplay between the six
groups provided the action for
most of the Workshop. Action was
largely spontaneous, resulting
from the
of the members within the groups.
From time to time, "news
bulletins" were announced by
Mrs. Nancy Ray of the dean of
students office. Jon Dalton,
another member of the dean of
students' staff, played the role
of the mass media by circulating
among the various groups and
requesting interviews.
A high point in the action
was reached when President
Strong (played by junior Judy
Schroeder) voluntarily agreed to
meet with SPER representatives
to discuss the demands of the
group.
President Held
When President Strong did
not emerge from the SPER meeting room after several minutes,
rumors filtered out that the president was being held against
"his" will.
Members of the LSD group,
assisted by individuals from other
groups, then made an attempt
to storm the walls and rescue
the president. A climax having
been reached, the participants
were asked to reassemble as one
large group to discuss the riot
situation how it developed, and
the role played by each group
during the crisis.
During this discussion, it became apparent that the action
taken by each group depended
largely on the roles which its
individual members were asked
to play.
The administration, for example, acted largely upon the advice of President Strong, who
considered it necessary to meet
with the SPER group, talk over
the demands, and see whether
any common understanding could
be reached.
'Constant Bickering'
The Faculty Senate group
spent almost the entire "riot" in
a lengthy meeting marked by constant bickering among its members. "A real triumph for parliamentary procedure," was one

group member's description of
this mock organization.
Government
The
Student
group split into factions early in
the game. "Conservative" representatives sided with the Let's
Stop Destruction group; the more
liberal representatives supported
the demands of SPER.
The graduate student group
supported the basic demands of
SPER, but attempted to make
SPER see that "less violent"
means could be used to attain
its goals.
The Let's Stop Destruction
group represented the antithesis
of SPER, and a large number of
LSD members attempted to break
in and rescue the president from
the "clutches" of the radical
group.
'Real' or 'Unreal'
During the large group discussion, participants were allowed
to express why they felt the mock
riot situation was either "real"
or "unreal", and to make any
other relevant comments on the
game.
Robert Sedler, professor in the
College of Law, said that he
believed personality was an important aspect of
despite any ideology involved.
For example, Sedler added,
an extreme liberal who switches
to the conservative side will very
likely become an extreme conservative instead of a mild or
"wishy-washy- "
conservative.
Experiences Related
The workshop participants also attempted to relate their experience within the groups to
the problems they had earlier
cited as "the biggest problems
facing UK today the Student
Code, credibility (i.e.: trust) between the various elements of
the University community, and
communication between these
elements."
The idea for Saturday's workshop originated within a small
ad hoc committee of students
and administrators interested in
improving communication within
the University community and
between the UK community and
its
surroundings.
A similar workshop, planned
and produced by the same committee, was held in August this
year. The subject of that workshop was communication between UK and the larger community of which it is a part.

Superwoman. In tliis futile plea
a direct statement is made as to
r
Russ Meyer's
producer-directointent in making "Beyond the
Valley of the Dolls."
Meyers, known as the "king
of the porno flicks," in this, his
first
film, uses endless
cliches from cinema past, weaves
them with melodramatic dialogue
and plants them into the picture's
purposely shallow plot. He does
this with such zeal that many
people will say he goes too far
in his vivid depiction of the
"sinful" Hollywood and the
"new life style."
People will leave the theater
with a wide range of feelings
about the sex and violence they
have just been exposed to,
stemming from their individual

j

and
morals, ideals, hang-upbackgrounds in general. Putting
this aside we will look at the
film for what it is- -a satire that
uses mockery as its chief weapon.
All the evil people by society's
standards are killed and all the
"basically good" characters reall their problems by
medy
marriage, reflecting a time when
films had to do so for fear of
being censored.
The intent to destroy the myth
of Hollywood is obvious.
The film uses every minority
group and freak act that it can
fit in to make it the fattest piece
of sensationalism which will attract the largest part of the mass
audience as possible. It is here,
when it strays from its original
purpose that it becomes tiresome
and loses its appeal.
It seems that Meyers was overtaken with the desire to make as
much money as possible from this
project, even at the cost of his
original idea and became lost as
he went farther and farther beyond the valley.

None of these alternatives was chosen.
Rather, someone in the administration,
apparently lacking the intellectual curiosity to phone the caretaker of Memorial
Hall to learn that it contains S62 seats,
opened up the Biology 100 sections to
950 each. By the time registration opened
at 8:00 Tuesday and we confiscated the
remaining class tickets 894 students had
enrolled in each section.

schedules for next year and notes from
their advisors saying that they must take
Biology 100 this year. Some students
decided to take the course by correspondence.
Building up the College of Pharmacy
was a desirable move. A weak segment of
the university was made strong, whereas
the Department of Zoology, although the
smallest among our state universities (yes,
this includes Wyoming, Idaho and Montana where enrollments range from 4500
to 8000), was already strong and highly
respected across the nation.
The mistake is in the order of our priorities. In attempting to strengthen certain
areas where students are scarce, this university has overreached its available resources and thus has failed to uphold its
commitments to the students and the
teaching program.

Aii Active Radical
To The Editors
Activist and radical are simply two
terms not to be authoritatively defined
or described by James Miller in Ids letter
or soapbox, or by UK administrators in
their "praise the reform activist, down
students against stuthe radical-pla- y
dents" speech making.
The terms vary and are not black or
white, and sometimes are synonymous.
I, personally, am an activist, a reformer, or a radical, and am violent or nonviolent depending on where your head is.

Don't keep drawing boxes and calling
the "good guys" this (activist or radical)
and the "bad guys" that (radical or

activist) based on personal value systems
and warped definitions. That's the same
bag as the name calling of protesters
from the last decade.

The 'Zoo' Hopes to Serve UK Community

By RON HAWKINS
Assistant Managing Editor
An American Flag extends
from theCroveMior Street Zoological Cardens, 305 Crovesnor Avenue. Inside "the Zoo" are five
persons who feel, to varying degrees, that what theflag'original-l- y
stood for has been severely
desecretated.
Geoffrey Pope, a former and
possibly future UK student, says
the Zoo has internal ideological
differences, although there is a
strong liberal element running
through all five inhabitants.
What the five residents of the
Zoo do agree on, however, is
that there is a need for a place
where students and residents of
the UK community can turn for
legal aid, medical aid and general information on what's going
on in the community.
Doug Stewart, a resident of
the Zoo and a member of the
Student
University
Advisory
Committee, says that since the
Zoo's birth he has received calls
concerning marriages, abortion
and has "talked down a girl

Only Jerry

been quite an experience.".
Not An Arsenal
The Zoo, say its inhabitants,
is trying to gather money through
a rock festival to finance a legal
bum-trippin-

bum-trippi-

defense fund and bail fund for
students and residents of the
student community. It is not
an arsenal prepared to run a
revolution, they say.
"We have a bow and arrow,"
said Pope.
"Oh, yeah, I have a broken
point knife," submitted Stewart.
"Doug has a chain upstairs
attached to a door," said Pope,
"He's got a club, too."
"We're also putting razors on
Frisbees," inserted Stewart.
Altliough the Zoo claims it is
not involved in arming students,
the Zoo is involved in presenting
a film and lecture series. The
film series will start Thursday
night in the Student Center Theatre with presentations of "The

The Zoo still has hopes of
bringing Huey Newton to campus. The Zoo's plans originally
were to have Newton speak in
October, but Newton plans to
make no speaking engagements
until November.
The "organizer" of the Zoo
is Juliann "Peck" Kennamer,
claims Pope. Kennamer is a member of the Student Mobilization
Committee's Steering Committee. Having spent a lot of his
time organizing the Rock Festival and starting the Zoo, Ken

namer has missed quite a number of classes.
A campus policeman has been
keeping his eye on residents of
the Zoo, the Zoo inhabitants
say. The officer reportedly commented that the rock festival

Police: A Target?
Walking a beat, standing on
the street corner or sitting in a
patrol car, the policeman increasingly has become a target of apparently unprovoked assaults,
often from ambush. Police officials say more than a dozen
policemen have died thus far this
year from that kind of attack.
The FBI reported seven officers were killed from ambush or
without warning in 1969. FBI
reports also show a total of 35,202

Franklin County Judge Fred
Bradley said his court meets on
Monday and Friday afternoons
and that the case may be docketed for a couple of weeks hence,
depending on the time needed
by both sides.
The judge said Mrs. Smith
and a representative from the
Louisville Legal Aid Society came
to liis home Friday night to obtain the warrant "and were very
arrogant and demanding."
The allegation in the warrant
refers to the publication last
month in the Louisville Courier-Jouniof the amount Mrs. Smith
was receiving for her nine children who are on welfare.

Answers from city and police
officials range from theories about
a nationwide conspiracy by radical groups, to a decline in respect for authority and the symbols of authority, to belief the
attacks are in no way connected.
One opinion is expressed by
Quinn Tamm, head of the International Association of Police:
Radical Influence?
"Attacks on police arebecon-in- g
more and more frequent and
more and more violent as radical groups exliort their members
to 'kill the pigs.'
"The root cause is resentment
of authority which the police
symbolize. That blue uniform
makes its wearer a higlily visible representative of the establishment.
"The police are having a difficult time understanding all this.
They aren't sure whether it is a
a conspiracy or the start of a
revolution . . ."
The assaults come in different
situations: racial disturbances,

domestic

protests,

campus
squabbles.

And in Philadelphia, Chief Inspector Joseph O'Neil of the detective division says simply,
"people are a lot more anxious
than they used to be and express their anxiety in many ways.
Unfortunately, we're usually the
targets." The statistics alone
often present a clear picture of
increased assaults.
A Conspiracy?
Is there a conspiracy against
the police?
Yes, says Al Pattavina, public
safety director in Omaha where
one policeman was killed and
seven injured when a dynamite-fille-d
suitcase exploded in a
vacant house as police were
checking a false report that a
woman was screaming for help.
No, say New York City Mayor
John V. Lindsay and Police Commissioner Howard R. Leary.
Leary, who resigned Sept. 4, conferred
