Penthouse Gay Boys?
By D. C. MOORE

"The Penthouse" now playing at the downtown Cinema has
a natural quality that is not found in
many movies.
The quality is now a trademark. "The Penthouse" is in a
catagory with "Blow-Up- "
and "Ceorgy Girl."
it seemed to me that the movie went farther in developing a
new technical form.
Peter Collinson, the director, has used Terence Morgan, Suzy
Ktndall, Tony Beckley and Norman Rodway to form a cohesive
acting unit. The new form he develops is one of closeness, and the
acting brings the audience into the plot more than did "Blow-Up- "
or "Ceorgy Cirl."

What The Dickens Are They?
By CHUCK KOEHLER

Just what in "The Dickens"
are they?

They say they're going to play
a "blues" number. And they do.
Then they do a

folk-roc- k

piece.

Fine.

And then they plug out some
"soul," and manage to insert a
freak-oguitar break. Then,
when you think they've run out
of musical idioms, they go into
a fugue which actually isn't a
ut

fugue.

They're "The Dickens" and

they won't be categorized.

Individually, "The Dickens"
are: Ian (who looks and sounds
like Ed Ames) on lead guitar,

Jim (who looks like Noel Harrison) on bass guitar, Lindon
(the spittin' image of Bob Dylan) on drums, and Zack (who
looks like Barbara Streisand) on

autoharp, tambourine and

occa-

sional kazoo.

Each night this week,' "The

Dickens" do their thing (making
music) in the Student Center
Crille a fine nonalcoholic-beverag- e
night club.
Unlike previous grille performers, their music is electric, the
emotional as well as the ionized
type. If you're wandering around
in the pool room downstairs and
think that the juke box is a little
loud, you're wrong. The booming
bass is live; and the wild guitar
isn't off one of the "Doors'"
singles; and the three part harmony isn't coming from a "Peter,
Paul and Mary" album. It's real,
live sonic vibrations from

Within minutes after Mr.
Thieu ordered the evacuation of
civilians from areas around the

were heard, indication no enemy

Streams of refugees from the

Receive More Training

Campus Police Reorganized
By LARRY DALE KEELING
A new look has appeared in the UK campus

police since a reorganization

of the department

beginning in 1966.
The new look includes 50 hours of
retraining annually and policemen who study
on their own time and at their own expense, according to Capt. Linton Sloan, security officer,
and Col. F. G. Dempsey, safety and security
officer.

The Safety and Security Division was organized
in 1964, according to Col. Dempsey. The reorganization started in the summer of 1966 about
the same time that Col. Dempsey became head
of the division.
The changes include setting minimum requirements for campus policemen, Capt. Sloan said,
and having them receive formal training in police
procedures.
A candidate for a campus police job now
must be between 21 and 35, in excellent physical condition, have a high school diploma or its
equivalent, and pass a professional police aptitude
examination. He must also be a resident of Kentucky and of a county in which UK owns or
controls property.
"Recruits receive formal training from the Lexington Police Department andor the Kentucky
State Police," said Capt. Sloan. "This covers
all phases of basic law enforcement."

The phases include everything from operating
vehicles to study of the Kentucky Revised Statutes.
Capt. Sloan said that during training, recruits
accompany experienced officers on duty.
"Campus police must also qualify on the range
with their weapons at least once a year," he said.

Capt. Sloan said several campus policemen
are enrolled at the College of Law Enforcement
y
at Eastern Kentucky University on
time.
They pay their own way.
"VVe also attempt to get some of our people
annually to law enforcement conferences throughout the United States," he added.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (CPS)

Capt. Sloan said, there was
no great amount of training in any police departments. Now almost all departments have a
training program and are finding that education
is as important as training.
A few years ago,

Col. Dempsey said McNamara Associates, professional police consultants, were here for two
weeks during 1966 to study the UK police.
"Their report really gave us the support that
we needed to get going," he noted.
"We're getting pretty damn good support from
the faculty and student body," he added.
"It is becoming known that our mission is
not to see how many cars we can tow away;
our mission is protection."

to investigate the FCC regulations and
advise them of their options.
Rep. Esch said he would look
into the matter.
Walter Shapiro, one of the
leaders of the 30 students, admitted that they expected to receive little, if any, response from
the FCC. The students sent copies of their telegram to the three
broadcast networks and the two
major national wire services.
"The response from the media
has been fantastic," Shapiro said.
The Associated Press ran a
story on the students,
and one national television network and one radio network interviewed several of the students.
Life magazine has expressed an
interest in doing a story on the
incident.
"VVe still hope one of the
television networks will see fit,

About 30 University of Michigan students who listened to
the speech thought they had the
answer. They immediately sent a
telegram to the Federal Comdemunications Commission
manding equal air time to present their views on the State of
the Union to the nation.
It was the only request for
equal air time in response to

said the students' demands do
not fall under the legal requirements of the "equal time" rule
because the rule extends only to
political candidates. The FCC
did say, however, that under
their doctrine of fairness of comment, the students request might
still have to be satisfied.
The students asked Rep. Mar the President's speech," Shap
14-in-

iro said. Shapiro said he felt
it was a moral as well as a legal
question because the students'
perspectives on national and international situations "are very
different from those of either major political party, and we feel,
as voters, that we are being denied representation in the American political process."
The students are seeking influential persons and organizations to encourage the networks
to give them free time. "Actually,
the range of political opinions of
the students involved is rather
extensive," Shapiro said. "But
our views have become closer
together since this happened and
we started being interviewed by
the mass media."

come from clubs, sororities and
other groups such as Students
for a Democratic Society (SDS).
The news conference was organized by William Baird, director of the Parents Aid Society,
an advocate of birth control and,
abortions. Baird has been arrested three times for distributing birth control information in
New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts. He said that "slush

and draft resisters are at odds again, this time over the number
of draft cards turned in by draft resisters.
Gen. Hershey says 618 draft cards have been turned in since
draft resisters started sending the cards in on October 16. He claims
that a number of the cards were actually drivers licenses or other
cards, not draft cards.
The Resistance, the group which has been organizing the turning
in of cards, says Gen. Hershey is lying and the total of card,
turned in and bumed is over 2,000. They claim about 1,200 draft
cards in 27 cities were turned in Oct. 16 and 525 on Dec. 4.
They also say there were 125 cards bumed on April 15 and 100
on Oct. 21, during antiwar demonstrations.

There's excitement waiting for you in energy
engineering, on a range of projects which press
the limits of your chosen specialty. For example, prototype development of thermal
systems and devices, fully automated compressor stations, fuel cells, corrosion studies,
and analyses of community and regional energy
use patterns.
Columbia's engineering in breadth offers you
immediate challenge in improving radiation
characteristics of ceramics, miniaturized residential furnaces, massive
industrial units, welding processes, and
optimized total energy systems for large facilities . . . and further challenge in consulting
to appliance manufacturers, high temperature
processing industries, and to the
modern technical operations of the Columbia
System itself.
You get the idea. It's hard to put fences
around the engineering excitement waiting for
you at our Columbia laboratories. Natural gas
of the U.S. fuel
provides about
energy. It's one of the nation's fastest growing
industries and Columbia is a leader. For information on our growth opportunities for you:

Archeologists
University archeologists have
completed a surveying project of
ancient Indian sites in three areas
of Kentucky.
The areas are Parker Branch,
in Jackson, Laurel and Rockcastle
Counties on the Rockcastle River;
in Letcher County on the Upper
Kentucky River, and a small project on the Cumberland River
in Russell County.
Miss Martha A. Rolingscn,
director of the UK Anthropology
Museum, said $2,200 was allotted
for the project by the National
Park Service. The Park Service
has underway a long-rang- e
project to analyze artifacts and other
paraphernalia from prehistoric
and historic periods in Eastern
Kentucky.
The surveys to find prehistoric
sites was supervised by Frank
Fryman, UK field archeologist.

* Fraternity and Sorority
Discrimination
Racial discrimination in selecting sister and brotherhood pledges
is now bccomming only one of the
many ways UK fraternities and sororities are cramming doom into
their heavenly housetrees. UK
Greek organizations have never
been unique. They participate in
all the notoriously discriminatory
rules in regard to social class, income, physical appearance and religion.
It has been said that the fraternity gives the insecure, lonely,
or merely gregarious person a
chance to satisfy his social needs,
as well as to give his psychological failings a chance to be corrected. However, today's mature
student asks much more from a
fraternity or sorority; in essence he
asks for a new breed of fraternity.
In actuality, UK does not yet offer this new, uninhibited breed.
If Greek life is here to stay,
the inescapable conclusion must be
for fraternities to use the power

they now have in a more creative
and constructive way. In order to
provide a more satisfactory experience for the UK student, fraternities must seek the alternative of
"fairness" in their recruitment policie
