Young Wants
More Than
Black Power

By DICK KIMMINS

Whitney M. Young Jr., ex-
ecutive director of the National
Urban League, told 1,2“) people
gathered for the University's first
annual fall convocation that the
Urban League believes in Black
Power, ”but also in the maroon
of the textbook, the green of a
dollar bill and the white of a
ballot."

"You can't fight a tank
with a beer can," said Mr.
Young. ”Neiths can you fight a
bear with a switch." Mr. Young
said America has experienced350
years of deliberate discrimination,
and thse is "no way to catch
up without a massive program."

The progam, Mr. Young said,
would have to be a domestic
Marshall Plan, similar tothe plan
instituted by the United States
to rebuild West Germany after
World War II.

"I want us to do the same
for Negroes that we did for the
white man in 1932,” Mr. Young
said.

“Have To Be Betts'

”There are many things in
this country that are wrong, that
are corrupt, that are uncivilized,"
he emphasized. "We have no al-
tsnative but to be better."

Previous generations could go
to war to solve their problems,
Mr. Young said, but "We can't
do that. The weapons of des-
truction are just too awesome. We
must live together as friends or
die together as fools."

In discussing the racial riots
last summer, the Negro leader
outlined three major positive ac-
tions that were a result:

DThe Negro was "recognized."

)For the first time there was
true comrrsinication between
whites and Negroes.

Board Approves
King Expansion,

Razing Miller Hall

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN

The Board of Trustees Fri-
day approved expansion of the
Margaret i. King Library and des-
tmction of a 69-yearold class-
room building.

Robert F. Kerley, vice presi-
dent for business affairs, told the
board expansion of the library
would involve land now used for
Maxwell Place, home of Univer-
sity President John W. Oswald.

Mr. Kerley said the expansion
would more than double the li-
brary's present seating capacity
of 700 students. Executive Vice
President A. D. Albright said
construction is expected to begin
within two years.

An interim presidential home
will be located soon.

'Only Site'

Crane and Corwic Associated,
Inc., of Detroit, planning and
urban design consultants, said
in its study of the site, "Ob-
jective study of all reasonable
alternatives leads to one conclus-
ion: that the Maxwell Place site
is not just one ofthe alternatives,
but the only site that meets all
necessary requirements. "

The decision, the study re-
port added, was based upon its
location in mid~campus, shape of
available land, possibility of fu-
true expansion and ease with
which a large central library
could be constructed.

The MaXWell Place location
was chosen over three others:

DThe Lafferty Hall area be-
tween the Fine Arts Building and
new classroom-office building,
now under construction.

)The site west of King Li-
brary. l

DThe site south of King Li-
brary, which includes Pence and

Kastle Halls, now being used for
architecture, political science and
other classes.

Miller To Be Razed

The demolition ofMiller Hall,

 

built in 1898 was authorized for
a date to be detemiined by Uni-
versity oflicials, but estimated for
the fall of 1969. Located near the
construction site of the 19—story
classroom-office building, it has
been used in recent years for
teaching romance languages and
geogology.

The board also named James
R. Russell, a Graves County na-
tive, as chairman of the Depart-
ment of Public information and
Educational Arts in the agricul-
tural experiment station. He suc-
ceeds Mr. J. Allan Smith, who is
retiring.

in other business, the board:

)Approved a $30 million con-
struction and renovation pro-
gram, including three parking
buildings to provide some 2,000
parking spaces.

kApproved ”in principle" the
Hazard Community College Pre-
liminary Development Plan.
Based on a projected ultimate
enrollment of 1,000 students, tem-
porary facilities at the college are
set for opening next fall.

D Passed a resolution oflicially
mourning the death of former
Trustee James Stephen Watkins,
who died Nov. 2.

Ford Urges Nonpartisan Politics
By "Mixed’ State Administration

LOUISVILLE (AP) — When
Louie B. Nunn is inaugurated
as governor Dec. 12, he will
take command of an adminis-
tration whose top officials will
be a mixture of both parties.

The Republicans and Demo—
crats split the eight other state-
wide offices in Tuesday's elec-
tion, with the Democrats win-
ning the more sensitive consti-
tutional posts.

The man who will act as
governor when Mr. Nunn is out
of the state will beWendell Ford,
who captured the lieutenant gov-
ernor's post for the Democrats.

Mr. Ford, in a statement re—
leased Thursday from Louisville,
said he doesn't intend to be an
obstructionist in any sense of
the word.

“Only if it should become
a matter of principle, will fexer-
cise the right to oppose; that,
the people should expect of me
and I would have done the same
if Henry Ward had been elected.”

Mr. Ford said his guidingprin-
ciple the next four years "will be
what is best for the people of
Kentucky. I am confident the
members of the legislature and
the state-elected officials, includ-
ing the Democrats, will act in
the same manner.”

Mr. Nunn's party will be re-
presented by Elmer Begley as
secretary of state; Clyde Conley

missioner of agriculture; and Dick
Vennillion, as clerk of the Court

Rights Talk
Attracts Two

Father Edward Mathaler was
supposed to speak on studsit
rights at the Student Cents
Thursday night.

He didn't, because only four
people showed up. One was a
Kernel reporter, another a Kernel
photographs. The abortive as-
sembly was sponsored by the
Newman Csits.

”Nobody came,” Father
Mathals explained to The Ker-
nel later. "Somebody told me
there was a panty-raid at the
same time. Maybe that was the
trouble."

The priest accepted the
“washout," as he called it, with
grace. "We may reschedule the
session next semests," he said.

Faths Mathaler's talk was to
have touched on present debate
about the props role ofstudsits.
He had planned to discuss in
detail "conflicting demands"
made by parents and society at
large.

"I didn't expect a large
map," he added, "just a dozen
orso."

Howard Protests ROTC

WASHINGTON (CPS) --
About 150 Howard University
students staged a sit-in today in
the office of President James Na-
brit to protest compulsory ROTC
requirements.

The sit-in ended after Dr.
Nabrit announced he would call
a special meeting of the school's
board of trustees within 10 days
so that a decision on the future
of compulsory ROTC can be
made.

“We are going to get rid of
compulsory ROTC one way or the
other," according to Michael
Harris, freshman class president
and one of the protest leaders.
“If the school doesn’t drop it,
then we will abolish it ourselves
'by not going to ROTC classes
or drills."

Protest Meeting
Rescheduled

To Wednesday

A meeting to plan a demon-
st ration protesting the presence of
recruiters for the Army Chemical
and Biological Warfare has been
changed to 7:80 p.m. Wednesday
in room 245 of the Student Cen-
ter. The meeting was announced
by John Lewis and David Elkin.

Efligies Hung

Harris said today's protest
did not involve the principle of
having ROTC on campus, but
merely the fact that it is com-

pulsory.

About 200 students were par~
ticipating in the demonstration
when it began about 1 p.m. The

protesters hung in effigy two
dummies dressed in ROTC uni—
forms.

The demonstration then pro-
ceeded from the center of campus
to the president's office. The 150
students at the sit-in filled all
three rooms of the oHice.

Although today's protest
ended with Dr. Nabrit's an-
nouncement that he would call
a special board meeting, the stu-
dents said they will continuetheir
demonstrations until the school
decides to drop RUI'C as a re-
quirement for graduation.

try who will pay as much for
his freshman year of college as
he will for his senior year.

“Tuition, fees, and room and
board charges are rising so fast
and so often that today’s state
university senior is paying about
15 percent more for his educa-
tion this year than he did as a
freshman in 1964,” the report
adds. And that's if you're an in-
state student. Non-residents are
paying 23 percent more than they
did as freshmen.

The NASULCC represents
large state universities and the
ASCU represents smaller state
colleges and universities.

The report shows a 6.5 per—
cent increase in in-state tuition
and fees at NASULCC institu-
tions, from a medium, of 3330
last year to $351.50 this year.
Out-of-state tuition went up 8.4
percent from $784 to 8850.

At ASCU institutions, in-
state-tuition and fees rose four
percent, from $250 to $260. Out-

of-state tuition and fees rose nine
percent from $550.50 to $600.

The report says there are two
major reasons generally given by
institutions for fee increases:

Failure by state governments
to appropriate sufficient funds
for higher education.

Rising costs of food, labor,
operation, and construction.

The report also says tuition
increases are often ”justified by
a desire to keep charges in line
with those of comparable neigh-
boring institutions."The need for
more funds to compete for ‘ ‘scarce
faculty talent" also results in
many tuition increases.

The report says tuition is now
nearly three times as high as it
was 20 years ago. And out-of-
state fees are going up especially
fast.

Are There Other Outstanding Professors?

If the newspaper runs a picture
page on five professors whom their
students believe to be outstanding,
in short order it hears these crit-
icisms:

1. These aren’t the only out-
standing faculty men.

2. When will such recognition
be given to the other outstanding
men at the University?

The faculty men selected came
to our attention when students
in their classes made commenda-
tory statements about these pro—
fessors.

Praise is such a rare commod-
ity that we took notice of these
men. Generally all one hears or
receives, in our narrow capacity
as newsmen, is a knock, often at
us, occasionally at someone else,
but knocks nevertheless.

Certainly there are other out-
standing faculty men at the Uni-
versity. But no letter to the edi-
tor, no soapbox column, no mem-
ber of the University community
has made a statement for our record,
about the outstanding men in the
University.

Have University students, fac-
ulty, and staff lost their commenda-

Letters To The Editor

 

tory discernment, and their gump—
tion to say so, unsolicited, for the
record?

As to when the other faculty
men will receive such recognition
the answer is somewhere between
soon and never.

Soon: if people let us know
who these men are, to release the
newspaperman from an undesired
role, making the news.

Never: if we have to go out
again, unaided, in quest of the
outstanding men. The students,
faculty, and staff of the Univer-
sity have the obligation to make
both the outstanding men and the
deadbeats known to others in the
University community. This obliga-
tion has been soreneglected. We
stimulated you once, in this recog-
nition area. It is up to readers
what happens in the future.

And the important question re-
mains. Have we, in our pursuit
of knowledge, lost the ability to re-
flect, to praise, to recognize merit
and say so for the record? Even
the students in the classes of the
professors pictured yesterday were
afraid, or embarrassed, or ashamed,
to sign their names to laudatory
statements about their professors.

Foreign Policy, Propaganda, The State, Luxury, Soccer

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

Mr. Kent Patterson in an article which
recently appeared in The Kernel made a
number of uncomplimentary and naive
comments about our foreign policy. At the
same time he reacted very favorably to
the Russian position in intemational‘af—
fairs.

Most of what Mr. Patterson had to:

say had the usual unsophisticated sound
to it that is characteristic of much of the
anti-Vietnam criticism. He made one state-
ment, howeVer, which I must correct.

Mr. Patterson stated: “ ...for the
free elections .we have substituted
the rigged elections of our Saigon pup-
pets, who always win by 80 percent of
the vote." Apparently he has not read
a newspaper in the last six months. If
he had he would know that the winners
of the last election in Vietnam collected
only a minority of the total vote. Mr.
Patterson is obviously somewhat unin-
formed.

The validity of the'election was also
confirmed by observers from other coun-
tries. These observers were unanimous
in their assertion that the elections were
substantially fair. The Viet Cong also
gave the elections a vote of confidence
by the intense terror campaign they in-
stituted to keep people from voting. It
might be said that the one thing the
communist imperialists fear most is the
voiceof the people.

The government being fonned in South
Vietnam today has not yet reached the

level of a working democracy nor isitw

likely to until this war is won. But even
with all of its faults the South Vietna-
mese government is at least trying to
give the people a voice in their own
affairs. This is infinitely better than the
dictatorship that rules North Vietnam.
There has never been an attempt at a
free election in the communist controlled
area.

I suggest that future criticism be di-

rected at those people who try to stay

the rising tide of democracy; at those
people who wish to turn back the clock
to the time when an individual lived

only to serve his government; and at
those governments who think they can

capture militarily what is denied to them

legally.

Propaganda! The American public has
heard this word a number of times, es-

pecially in reference to comments made
by communistic countries such as Russia

and Red China. I wonder how much
propaganda the U. S. Covemment puts

out.

If some statistics were available, they

probably would indicate that the US.

propaganda ranks just as high as the

Communists'. Granted that the US. Gov-

ernment needs to keep the lid on some of
their information, but the American pub-
lic is not being informed of what is taking
place in our government on a number

of occasions which need to be brought out.

In other instances, the American people

are led to believe something which is not

true or the tmth has been distorted. If

this isn't propaganda, I don't know what
is. '
Why is it that the US. government

can come up with the exact number

of Vietcongs killed in a battle, but can
only describe our loss

to me that the exact umber of American

soldiers killed would be known before

the Vietcong ones are.
About the only statistics available on

deaths of American soldiers killed are

either on a monthly or weekly basis. Why
can't the US. Government give the pub-
lic a daily report on American casualties?

Why wasn't the "'I'nrth in Lending
Bill” acted upon by Congress? One main

as light? It seems

reason is that the American public would
have to be told that the US. Savings
Bonds sold to them does not pay 4.15%
interest. In fact, the interest received is
less than 4 %, if it is held to maturity—
even less-if cashed before maturity.
These are only two small examples of
trying to conceal the truth from the Am-
erican public. Many more examples of
U.S. propaganda probably exist, which are
not known by the average citizen. Who
is going to point out US. propaganda
to the American public? The Russians!

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

I do not recognize anyone's right to
my property, my life, or my time. In turn,
I do not expect this from anyone else.
The right to dispose of my life, time and
property as I choose is guaranteed to me
and to you by the Preamble to the Con-
stitution of the United States of America.
This ideal is opposed. to agreater or lesser
extent, to the dogma inherent in the po—
litical philosophies of socialism, facism,
communism, statism and various other
forms of partial or complete slavery.

It is easily seen that the real is in
direct conflict with the ideal that many
of us have been taught to believe in.
In the present situation we are forced
to support individuals whom we have
never met, and at the point of a gun, we
are forced into involuntary servitude
(whether it be for country, God or mother
love). We are denied the right to dispose
of our abilities, our_ produce and our lives
as we see fit. I hope this makes others
a little anxious as it does me.

What concerns me even more is that
both political parties speak with forked
tongue on the subjects of freedom and
individual rights. The liberal democrats
believe it is quite all right to confiscate
one man '5 property and distribute it among
other individuals. While they oppose the
draft for war purposes, they believe, as do
some Republicans, in “voluntary servi-
tude" (the right to choose the job you
will labor at for the state, Vista or Viet-
nam).

You don't have to be an Oxford grad-
uate to figure out that “voluntary servi-
tude" is a semantic contradiction. The
Republicans, on the other hand, believe
in limited hand-outs, which involves only
limited theft, or a smaller percentage
of victims. Although they do believe in
a form of ”mixed" free enterprise, they
don't hold any lucid conception of why.
In most of their arguments they confuse

. mysticism with capitalisn- and; while

everyone agrees that the former was in-

vented by man, some believe that God
first discovered capitalism.

None would agree with the learned
opinion that Jesus Christ was one of
the first communists, and a very devout
one at that. Their general stand on the
draft is quite as confusing, with most
of them agreeing that it is perfect logic
to fight slavery with slaves. Faced with
such clear, rational thinking, which prob-
ably represents our future, we must look
with hope to the present. Our situation
now is best expressed by a quote from our
late president which he in tum copped
from the Communist Manifesto with one
word change. ”Ask not what you can do
for the state, but what the state can
do for you." Really now, what will you
tell your kids?

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

Last week, the soccer team won two
impressive victories, the first being 13 to
0 and the second over the University of
Chattanooga by a margin of7 to 0. Both
were on the Taylor Education Building
Field. It was a far cry from the seven-
rnan team which used to lose by 7 to 0
at best. Yes, the soccer men have come a
long way in developing a team, from one
of poor quality to one which can compete
with the finest. But, what happened to
the soccer team in this transition?

Last year, the soccer team had a field
at the Student Center. However, Mr. Dart
and the UK Band soon chased the team
from its newly—found home. The Taylor
Education Building field, with its man-
hole, was the team's new home.

And now, they are slated for another
move behind the Complex. What many
failed to realize was that there was some
thought to “writing the soccer team off"
by those who gave the TEB field to the
team.

The question remains: "Wheredothese
people go from here?': The remaining
games this semester are away at the
University of Michigan this weekend and
home with Southern Illinois University
next weekend.

When the chips are down, though,
the soccer team will make it. We thank
Mr. Rizk for his time and help. To the
student body, we extend an invitation to
any of our games, both home and away.

Finally, all the talk aborrt varsity
recognition is important to us. It will
enable us to obtain S.E.C. recognition,
and thus assert a bid for national recog-
nition. This is what each soccer player
now desires.
