Blink of New York officials
testiﬁed in depositions ﬁled Mon-
day in U.S. District Court here,
that the bank sold MaineChance
Farm to the University because
it had submitted the only written
bid on time.

The depositions, seven in all,
were ﬁled in connection with a
$30 million suit against UK and
the Keeneland Association, who
are charged with conspiring to
purchase the 7%acre Bluegrass
farm.

The suit was instituted by
California horseman Rex Ells-
worth and Lexington veterinar-
ian Arnold Pessin.

Bid Too Late

The bank oﬁicials said the
competitive offer of 81,9420!)
by Mr. Ellsworth and Mr. Pessin,
arrived too late for consideration.
The Bank of New York handled
the sale of the Lexington horse
farm as one of three executors
of the estate of the late Eliza-
beth Arden Graham.

The University bid 82 mil-
lion on the farm.

Two other depositions were
also ﬁled by Clay Maupin Jr.,
assistant teasurer of the UK Re
search Foundation, and Edward
S. Dabney, chairman ofthe board
of First Security National Bank
and Trust 00., Lexington, and a
director of the UK Research F oun-
dation.

Bid Before Negotiated

Mr. Maupin testiﬁed that UK
submitted its bid before it at-
tempted to negotiate a loan with
any lending institution. He said
the UK Research Foundation
tried at the time to arrange ﬁ-
nancing through the Federal
Land Bank.

First Security National Bank
6: Trust Co., with Common-
wealth Life Insurance Co. of
Louisville as a co—holder, lent
the UK Research Foundation $1.5
million to finance the purchase.

Atty. Gen. Robert Matthews
has ﬁled suit against the Uni-
versity to block the sale of the
farm. The University received
the deed to the farm Oct. 11.

Crambling Orders
25 Off Its Campus

By FRANK BROWNING

CRAMBLINC, La. (CPS)—Crambling College suspended 25
students Monday who have been leading demonstrations and class
strikes aimed at upgrading the “academic environment" of the

school and de-emphasizing sports.

The students, 22 men and
three women, were given two
hours to leave the campus.
Among those suspended were
the student body president and
the editor of the student news-
paper.

The mass suspensions, how-
ever, did not end a student boy-
cott of classes which began Oct.
25. The college, which is pre-
dominateiy Negro, has a total
enrollment of 4,200 students,
but only 200 attended calsses
Monday. Student leaders said
the strike will contnue in-
definitely.

The tense situation here last
week came to a head Saturday
when Louisiana Gov. John Mc-
Keithen ordered 500 National
Guardsmen to blunt possible
student uproars. The troops
never arrived at the campus,
but are still standing by at
Ruston, a town six miles away.

Came As Surprise

The suspension of the student
leaders Monday came as a sur-
prise. The students were called
before a joint meeting of the
college's Disciplinary Commit-
tee and the Interdepartmental
Council. Three minutés after the
meeting began the suspensions
were announced.

Three students are members
of the Disciplinary Committee,
but two of those — the student
body president and vice presi-

dent — were among the 25
suspended. Other members of
the committee are faculty mem—
bers and administrators.
Crambling President Ralph
Jones, who doubles as baseball
coach, refused to make any com-
ment on the week of demon-
strations. H o w e v e r, Noldan
Thomas, a member of a 12-man
faculty mediating group selected
by the students, characterized
the school as ranking academ-
ically among the “lowest of
Negro colleges in the country.”
Athletics Overemphasized

Mr. Thomas said athletics are
deﬁnitely overemphasized at
Crambling. “Athletics are pri-
oritized in funds, the yearbook,
and public relations materials,
and even the president has
made the baseball Hall of
Fame."

Crambling has a nationwide
reputation for its athletic teams.
The school has produced a
number of professional athletes,
among them Willie Davis of the
Green Bay Packers, Ernie Ladd
of the Kansas City Chiefs and
Willis Reed of the New York
Knickerbockers.

About 3,500 of the school's
4,200 students met in a mass
rally Sunday night and decided
to continue the boycott of
classes this week. Students said
the strike will continue until
their demands of the administra-
tion are met.

DiSsent Cheers Hanoi,

Rusk Says In Indiana

COLUMBUS, Ind. (UPI)—Secretary of State Dean Rusk said
Monday night that recent peace demonstrations in the United
States undoubtedly encouraged Hanoi to continue its ﬁght in

Vietnam.

In a hard-hitting defense of
the administration's Vietnam
policy, Mr. Rusk acknowledged
that “we must guard carefully
our precious rights of free
speech." But he expressed the
"hope that good Americans
would realize that all we say
here is heard in Hanoi — and
Peking

“Hanoi undoubtedly has been
encouraged by the peace demon-
strations in this country," Mr.
Rusk said in an address at a
high school gymnasium here.

“A few days ago a high North
Vietnamese ofﬁcial called the
peace demonstrators in this
country comrades-in-arms,” Mr.
Rusk said.

Soldiers ‘Real Spokesrnen’

“How can he be brought to
realize that the comrades-in-
arrns who really speak for the
American people are our sol-
diers, sailors, marines and air-
men in Southeast Asia?" the
secretary asked.

Mr. Rusk said critics of Presi—
dent Iohnson’s Vietnam policy
advocated adopting "the bank-
rupt ideas which led my gen-
eration of students directly into
the catastrophe of World War
II.”

He said it was imperative that
the United States remember the
lessons “we learned at such
heavy cost" during World War
II because, “We shall not have

a chance to draw the lessons
from World War III — there
would not be enough left."

Mr. Rusk denied accusations
that he changed his explanation
for U.S. involvement in Viet-
nam at an Oct. 21 news con-
ference when he placed new
emphasis on Chinese aggres-
sion.

“Obviously we did not enter
into treaties of mutual defense
with IIapan, the Philippines,
Austra is and New Zealand, the
Republic of Korea, the Republic
of China, and through SEATO
in contemplation of aggression
by the Eskimos," Mr. Rusk said.

Some of the administration's
critics in Congress have accused
Mr. Rusk of raising the ancient
fear of “yellow peril" in that
news conference when he said
the United States was ﬁghting
to contain Communist China.

The principal question in the
world, Mr. Rusk said, was how
to find and enforce a lasting
peace. “It cannot be achieved
by wishful thinking, or by pass—
ing pious resolutions, or by
carrying signs with slogans,” he
added.

"The loss of Southeast Asia
to hostile power or powers
would be a weighty shift of the
balance of power to the dis-
advantage of the free world,
and would affect adveme the
world situation as a whole,” Mr.
Rusk said.

Nunn, ‘Coming To Save The People,’ RunsFast

By LEE BECKER

A Republican gubernatorial
campaign in Kentucky is many

It is hand—shaking on a sunny
street in a small town. It is
“working the crowd" at a court
day rally.

It is speaking before 10,000
people in Louisville’s Freedom
Hall. It is talking with students
at the state's colleges and uni-
versities.

It is references to the Bible.

It is accusations thrown the
opponents. It is appeals to the
Democrats.

It is appeals to new Republi-
cans, Republicans in the cities,
and it is appeals to old Re-
publicans, the die-hard Re-
publicans in the mountain cities
and counties of Eastern Ken-

tucky.

Louie B. Nunn, Republican
nominee for governor in 1967,
has made his campaign all of
this.

Visited All Counties

He has shaken hands across
the state. He has been in all-of
the 120 counties, many more
than once.

In Monticello he told a crowd
about the coming of a Man
2,000 years ago. Mr. Nunn said

he was coming to save the peo-
ple, too.

He called the people in Bar-
boursville has “friends and
neighbors," and talked about
the “mamas and papas” before
him.

the wrongs in the county. He
pumped his hands.

Before a University audience
of 500, his attacks on the Demo-
crats were less frequent.

And before businessmen, he
is much the same as he is on
campus.

AlthOugh the racial issue has
not been predominant in this
election, as it was when Mr.
Nunn opposed Ned Breathitt in
1963, it still comes up.

Henry Ward, Democratic
nominee for governor, has ac-
cused Mr. Nunn of exploiting
the race issue. Opening housing
has provided the battle grounds.

Opposes ‘Forced’ Housing

“My position is clear and un-
wavering,” Mr. Nunn says. “I
oppose forced open housing in
principle, but I would not deny
a community the right to set
its own course."

In May primaries, racial and
religious bigotry charges were
thrown at Mr. Nunn, but be
defeated Jefferson County Judge
Marlow \V. Cook. The primary
was the first really bitter intra-
party contest the Republicans
have had in years.

Although Mr. Nunn did win
the primary, he failed to carry
his ticket with him. Every can-
didate on his slate is a Cook
candidate.

The Republican no m i n e e
stresses that all differences have
been solved. "Primaries don't
mean anything," he told a Bar-
bourville crowd. "It is just the
big one that counts."

But if Mr. Nunn loses Louis-
ville. he could lose the race.

The main strategy of the cam-
paign. according to people in
the campaign headquarters, is
first to show the failure of the
present administration, and then
to propose the Nunn team pro-
grams.

.\lr. Nunn quotes three studies
extensively to prove the first
point. He has used a Midwest

Ward Won t Look Baal: At Cap- caning N unn

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN

When Henry Ward gained
the endorsement of Gov. Ed-
ward T. Breathitts administra—
tion for his gubernatorial hopes
last spring, he gained an ad-
vantage no other candidate
would have throughout the cur»
rent campaign.

\Vith administration backing,
Mr. Ward could run on his
record and shake off criticism
from his Republican opponent,
Louie B. Nunn, as “desperate
politics” and “part of the silly
season."

But many political observers.
particularly in Ward-controlled
Louisville, feel the former high-
way commissioner is making a
mistake bv refusing to look over
his shoulder at the fast-closing
Nunn.

Ward campaign headquarters
in Louisville admits, “We don't
willingly respond to anything
Mr. Nunn says.”

‘I-Zasier’ Campaign

And, on the surface, it would
seem Mr. Ward has run the
easier campaign — or at least
covered less ground than judge
Nunn, who lost by a mere
13,000 votes to Gov. Breathitt
in 1963. While Republicans have
traveled in all 120 counties of
the Commonwealth, Ward cam-
paign aides estimate he has
Visited 100.

If anything, Mr. Ward has
based his entire campaign on a
clean record spanning more than

20 years in state government.
At the UK Law School earlier

this month, he declared, “I am
my own man — not the product
of any kingmakers." And, on oc-
casion, he has taken steps to
substantiate this claim by criti-
cizing previous administrations.

But he confines his comments
and promises to the state level,
constantly reiterating his “pro-
gram for progress and advance-
ment of Kentucky."

Vietnam Injected

Republicans have capitalized
on every opportunity to inject
the Vietnam war into the race,
possibly hoping to ride the tide

Campaign ’67

of increasing dismay with Presi-
dent ]ohnson and his domestic
and foreign policies.

But Mr. Ward pays little at-
tention to his opponents' charges
that he will have to support the
President if he is elected.

Instead, he says Kentuckians
should devote their efforts to
improving the state.

One political observer, after
a visit to Kentucky, said Mr.
Ward “is keeping maximum dis-
tance between himself and the
President."

No ‘National’ Aid

And Mr. Ward himself says
he has made no effort to get
national ﬁgures in the state to
support him. His opponent,
however, has attracted such
prominent COP figures as Sen-
ate minority leader Everett
Dirkson, R- Ill. and California

Gov. Ronald Reagan, often
mentioned as a potential presi-

When Mr. Ward hits the
campaign trail, he usually is in
full swing from 8 a.m. until 10
p.m. Things don't always turn
out as planned.

For instance, at Eastern Ken-

tucky University, the Demo-
cratic nominee was behind
schedule, but a local women's

club supporting him had plan-
ned a luncheon in hopes he
would attend. Although it
wasn't on his agenda, he ac—
cepted the invitation and de-
livered a short speech.

That same day he was at
Berea College, busy shaking
hands with students, faculty and
city ofﬁcials. Then one young
man pushed his way through
the crowd to display his “It's
Time for a Change—Vote Nunn”
button.

with his campaign headquarters
— checking in a minimum of
twice a day and sometimes as
often as 10 times.

he rarely changes tone in his

The Kernel, The Herald, Ward, and Numbers
Who Is Playing Footsie With Figures, Fellows?

The Kentucky Kernel was mis-
quoted on the editorial page of
The Lexington Herald Sunday Oct.
29.

In its editorial headlined
”Rigged” Murray S. U. Poll And
”Nunnism" The Herald made the
following statement about The Ker-
nel.-

”The Kentucky Kernel, which
has been highly critical of The
Herald and Leaders’ ‘Your Opin-
ion Counts’ polls, conducted its
own poll at the University of Ken-
tucky and reported these results:
Ward 1,143; Nunn 553

As Kernel readers know, we
asked a random sample of the

student body ”If the election were
held tomorrow whom would you

vote for, Nunn or Ward.” The re-
sults of this poll were printed in
the Tuesday, Oct. 24 edition of The
Kernel, and the story clearly stated
the following facts:

1. That 36 percent of our ran-
dom sample were not polled on the
gubematorial race because they
said they were not registered in
Kentucky.

2. That the poll was conducted
in early October.

3. Of the 64 percent of the ran-
dom sample who were registered
to vote in Kentucky, 57 percent
favored Ward, 36.1 percent favored
Nunn, and 6.1 percent were unde-
cided.

Only percentages as stated
above were reported in The Kernel.
380 students were called. 137 stu-
dents answered not registered. 243
registered students responded.

So where did the ﬁgures attri-

Letters To The Editor

buted to The Kernel originate?

Hemdon Evans, editor of The
Lexington Herald, said the errone-
ous figures came to his attention
in a press release prepared by Fos—
ter Ockerman, general chairman of
the Ward-for-Covemor campaign.

At the Ward campaign office
in Louisville, no one knows where
the figures attributed to The Ker-
nel originated. Creg Smith, a mem-
ber of the Ward staff, told The
Kernel that he thought the ﬁg-
ures 1,143 and 553 had appeared
in The Kernel story.

While there is a pleasant satis-
faction to be on the shouting end
of the phrase “misquoted,” there
is a more important facet to the
erroneous figures which were at-
tributed to The Kernel.

On their front page Thursday,
Oct. 26, The Lexington Herald ac-
curately repeated the poll results
which had previously appeared in
The Kernel.

Without a subsequent Kernel
story, however, and the mere in-
tervention of a press release with
startling ﬁgures, there appears a
Sunday editorial in The Herald.

The Young Democrats at the
University say they did not furnish
the ﬁgures 1,143 and 553 to the
Louisville office. At first it was
thought that the results of The
Kernel poll and figures obtained by

Off Campus Student Association, The Rules

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

1 wish to commend The Kernel for
its efforts in behalf of the Off Campus
Student Association. The recent article
which appeared in the Oct. 24 issue
and self-centered policies of the ”student
newspaper?" which would be better called
the daily ”tissue." Your clever addition
of a pro—letter conveniently tucked into
a corner and with no headline, while
mnning David HolWerk's lie-filled and
misrepresenting article with banner head-
lines clearly indicated the editors' posi—
tion. The Kernel does not represent the
opinion of the student body in this un-
reasonable attack on theOCSA, asit never
holds the student opinion on any subject.

As president of the OCSA, Iwouldlike
to give a proper picture of Mr. Holwerk
and his motives and the actual state of
the OCSA.

First, as to Mr. llolwerk. Some of the
students may remember him as the last
president of the Appalachian Volunteers,
an organization which died under his
leadership. Or, perhaps he is remembered
for his cape and toilet bowl cap that he
wore so proudly while making speeches
predicting the collapse of the ()(ISA last
year. I think Mr. llolwerk's twisted mind
and the failure of AVs under this leader-
ship, motivated him to predict the doom
of such organizations as OCSA, so as to
justify his own repeated failures. Finding
the OCSA almost dead last year after a
year of poor leadership, he decided that
the death of the organization would help
his bruised ego. Unfortunately this year
OCSA has not died, but has achieved much
to be proud of.

Now, to the lies and misrepresenta-
tions in his Kernel policy article. First, the
OCSA has sufTered from people who”had
no intention ofattending any ofthe council
meetings, but was willing to run so that
the election" would feed their egos, in
particular Mr. Holwerk's. Secondly, our

elections last April drew almost five hun-
dred votes, and this is almost tw1ce Mr.
Holwerk's figure of the election held last
November. Thirdly, the OCSA has not only
provided a place for people to Sign up for
sports, but now has about 165 participants
involved in our programs. Fourth, the
OCSA has demonstrated that it is working.
Thus far we have printed two news-
letters, which gave a list of events that
were coming up, not past events. When
Mr. Holwerk told how half ofthe events
were over by the time the newsletter
came out, he must have been reminis—
cing of the time last year when he was
associated with the newsletter. In so far

as activities are concerned, we have held
a horse show which drew over three
hundred horses from some five states
and there was a very large number of
off-campus students involved in this event.
So many that over half were sent home
at lunch time to start a victory party,
while the other half worked and later
joined the keg. Of course, The Kernel
gave full coverage, one picture and no
story, days after the event; while just
two weeks ago a physical education horse-
manship class received a two center page
spread. We are now trying towork around
our lack of funds with these projects: a
car rally, a chess tournament, a bridge
tournament, a project to aid students
in the nied-ccnter, a summer employment
service, and a housing list. Our graduate
project, our jam session and several other
programs which would have aided the
student directly were cut by Student
Government. As any student should see,
the OCSA needed the funds that Student
Government cut, to get anything done.
The reasons why the Creek controlled
Student Covemment cut our funds are
all too obvious to be discussed here.
Also, as any student should see, Mr. Hol—
werk has used his irresponsible tool, The
Kernel, for his own personal aims. A
truly typical and expected use of the
”campus joke."

As a last point, 1 would like to expose

this rag for what is is, a self-centered,
-forced student-financed blot on our Uni-
versity. Mr. Joe White's letter was sub-
mitted on Oct. 6, eighteen days before
Mr. Holwerk's misguided personality was
vented. In other words, our beloved Kernel
held a ‘timely' letter to the editor until
such time as it could find time to let
loose its own irresponsible attack. Stu-
dents, The Kernel is supported by your
fees and yet it has little student news
and holds no student opinions. We, as
owners of The Kernel, should demand
The Kernel hold student opinions above
its own, and if it cannot do this, we
should get new editors or discontinue
this paper.

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

In answer to Miss Mueller's "Rules,"
which was seen in the Inner Wall Art
Supplement. At least she spelled my
name right. To the best of my knowledge,
1 have never met Miss Mueller, so how
can she accuse me of being a ”dancing
Bear?" When 1 wrote the guidelines. I
wasn't tryingtodepreciate anyone's name,
particularily someone I've never met. 1
could have written the guidelines as ”Mod-
ified Rules for Women, Ladies, and An-
gela Mueller . . . " . ,

Miss Mueller mentioned that it isn't
always the girls who start the dancing
and implied that the ones who started
the pelvic thnists were the boys.

At a recent jam session I observed
that the girls (for themost part) were the
ones who started the pelvic jerks. Be-
sides, if the girl doesn't like that form of

ldancing in the rare cases in which the
boy starts, why doesn't she leave the
dance floor and let the boy stand there
with egg on his face?

Since Miss Mueller has never danced
with me, how can she put me in the
same category with the boys who hold
girls too tight? Perhaps she could put her-

self in my place or, better yet, in my
arms.

As for necking on the dance floor,
remember that it takes two to tango, so
why put the entire blame on the boy.
Miss Mueller also mentioned that boys
don't ask girls to dance. 1 say they do.
A boy gets discouraged after hearing
excuses like ”I'm sitting thi
