course and a course in
Life and Culture was
initiated as an
course in somewhat of a compromise move.
Dr. Kirwan told the BSU that
a course may be created in the
history department soon but recommended that the BSU not
apply pressure "because it might
draw unfavorable reaction."
He said there have been
changes on the part of some of
the history faculty in their outlook on such a course. He said
that last year the opinion was
that there was "no more reason
to have a course in
history than to have one in
history or Irish
American history."
"But during the present year

some of the leading history departments in the country have
instituted such courses; I would
be surprised if this did not have
some influence

on our depart-

ment," Dr. Kirwan said.
He said the course was under
review "it had been closed, but
it's been reopened." Dr. Kirwan
also noted that a search for an
African historian is "high on the
list of priorities," and that political science professor Allen
Herschfield is attending an African Studies Association convention in October and will be
searching for qualified African
historians who would be interested in teaching at UK.
Want Black Athletes
Also discussed at length was
the absence of black basketball
players at UK.
"We have a new athletic director and I think Mr. Lancaster
is aware of the unhappiness on
the part of black students," said
Dr. Kirwan. "I think he will
begin concentrated efforts to do
something on the matter."
Dr. Kirwan said he thought
recent recruiting strategy "was
not best designed to bring in
black players." He said he
thought the strategy to be
in that it was aimed
at getting one black player.
"Creat efforts have been nude
to get one black," he said, em-

phasizing the "one." "We'll

never get one if we go after
just one." Dr. Kirwan said he
thought Incaster has realized
this and that he will change the

strategy.
Object To 'Dixie
The black students objected
to Dr. Kirwan about the use
of "Dixie" at UK events, because they said it was"un-loyal- ''
to the country and because of
its association with George Wallace.
"There was a time I liked
'Dixie'," he replied, "but no
longer. Because of the racial connotations it's offensive to me."

Davis also took exception to

"There is no clear evidence

that was included on the list

Truth, Please

Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey's statement Monday in Philadelphia that "negotiations or no
negotiations" some troops would
be withdrawn from Vietnam by early 1969 is an example of the false
hope fed the American people since
the early years of this tragic war.
Humphrey showed his true colors
by continuing the policy.
Humphrey told questioners that

1

"substantive negotiations" on a

Vietnam peace pact "may very well
start before I become president."
The vice president then said "unless there are unusual developments
we'll be able to start to remove
some of our troops . . . very

,

promptly."
Americans have been told that
the end of the war was near too
many times before. President Johnson has misled this country on his
war policy on too numerous occasions. Gen. William Westmoreland's
gilded optimism has been handed
the American public too often.

Moreover, the promise that
troops will be pulled out is one
which is hard to believe just on
the basis of known facts. It is,
for instance, hard to believe that
the Saigon regime are able to conduct the war themselves or that
they are willing to give up their
battle for control of the area.
If troops are pulled out, then,
what will the American public be
told? Will we be told that the war
is over and that the forces of Democracy have won out? Will we be
told that the enemy is so tired
that the South Vietnamese can
handle their own problems? Or will
we be told anything at all?
Humphrey and the other presidential candidates should begin to
tell it like it is on Vietnam. The
voters of this country should be told
squarely that their country is in the
wrong for only by a policy of truth
can we hope to undo the harm
which has been done to this nation both internally and externally.

Elections? Anyone?
For anyone who might have been interested, Wednesday iswas the
last day to file for the fall Student Government Elections. Depending
on when this paper comes out, there arewere fourteen seats open of
the election which is to be held on Wednesday, September 18.
It is difficult to understand Student Government's reasoning for not
publicizing its own election any more than it did. Perhaps they felt
that no one would be interested anyway. Perhaps the members of the
Elections committee felt that by not publicizing the election until
the day before the deadline for signups that they could control the
election. Or perhaps nobody, including Student Government members,
cares about the whole mess to begin with.
At any rate, it is obvious that anyone who would have liked to run
faced a pretty good chance of missing the deadline without ever knowing
that the deadline ever existed. The only reassuring light in this whole
confusing darkness is the hope that perhaps nobody signed up at all
and that nobody will be elected. If that is so, then the Assembly will
never be able to muster a quorum all year, and Student Government
will never be able to meet. If that is the case, the Elections Committee
'wrought better than it knew.

To the Editor of The Kernel:
Living in a Cooperstown as a married
student's wife, I have a question on UK
housing policy. To put it simply, why do
married students pay the rent of two
single students but, as table below illustrates, are denied many services?

To the Editor of the Kernel:
How unfortunate it is that the Kernel
no longer supports free speech. In an
editorial in the Sept. 4 Kernel, you seek
to justify the actions of the Negroes
who attacked the racist rally in Berea,
because the racists were "increasing tensions" and "insulting the black community.
By the same reasoning, I would be
justified in bringing an armed mob to
shut up Herbert Aptheker, the local
S. D. S., campus Black Power advocates, and other spreaders of unrest and
hatred of the white race, whose rights
of free speech and assembly you have
so zealously defended.
The tnith is, Mr. Editor, that you
support only the speech of those with
whom you agree, thus contradicting the
term "free speech."
