‘Sisterhood’ Plan Bagged Down,-
Gubematorial Campaign Blamed

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN

Action on the troposal for
”sisterhood" status between UK
and the University of Louisville
seems to be locked behind closed
doors.

And, says Dr. Melvin Greer,
it might be because gubernat—
orial candidates Henry Ward and
Louie Nunn ‘ seem to feel as if
it should not be a (campaign)
issue.

Since a faculty report last
June favored ”sisterhood," nei-
ther university has made definite
statements on the issue and most
of the work has involved meet—

P ..U s Firing Of Prof

Vindicated

By ‘Court

Academic freedom slipped a notch Friday when a jury of first-
year law students ruled in favor ofPuritan University for dismissing
a humanities professor for immoral conduct.

The jury deliberated for bet-
ter than 30minutes afterthe mock
trial before reaching a decision
which surprised everyone.

Prof. James R. Richardson,
who presided over the case, said
he ”was very surprised at the out-
come. Students are generally
more academic - freedom consci-
ous than, let's say, a downtown
jury."

The trial, a mock case based
on similar circumstances relating
to a free—speech issue. in Illinois,
is part of the Law Schools Prac—
tice l.se course.

Dr. Sigiifoos Freud, professor
of humanities at Puritan Univerv
sity had filed suit against P. U.
for allegedly bring dismissed
without cause. '

According to Curtis Quindry,
attorney for the plaintiff, ”we
were trying to show that he (Dr.
Freud) was giving impartial dis
cussion in classroom and that

he had not offended anyone."

The defaise for P.U. called
to the stand Prudence Purity, a
P.U. coed, who testified that Dr.
Freud favored Communism over
capitalism and advocated free
love and trial marriage.

”He offended me by making
a very uncomfortable stare at
me, ' she said. Thedefensequick-
ly asked ”what kind of stare,"
at which the attorneys for Dr.
Freud quickly objected.

Dr. Freud was dismissed from
the University for ”allegedly ad-
vocating and teaching free love,
including the suggestion that a
lab be set 1‘1‘pforthe(ourseCourt-
ship and Marriage, and for the
tcac hing of communism

He testified that his attitude
toward sex was academic, that
it was necessary for his course,
World Social Stmctures Today.
'Society without sex would be
pretty sterile," he said.

because private support ”has
been inadequate for the type of
expansion needed in the popula-
tion center of the state."

Dr. Creer said the administra-
tion ”is in favor of state support,
but what now has to be clari-
fied is under what conditions."

While U of L officials c011-
tend the proposal still is in the
”discussion stages," Dr. Creer
said six alternatives outlined for
the ”sisterhood plan" unofficia-
lly have been reduced to two:

) (living L' of 1. full state sup-
port, but aligning it with UK as
a single state university withtwo
or more campuses, a single presi-
dent and a single board of trus-
tees. This would be part ofa new
statewide educational system.

} Making U of l. a ”state-
related” school with the state
providing a substantial portion
of the budget, but with local
private support continuing.

One Is ola ted

The former, Dr. (lreer said . ap—
pears to be favored by most part—
ies involved.

”The common board of trus—
tees would be designed to co-
ordinate educational facilities of
the two schools, he explained.
This would entail preventingone
university from establishing a
new school already provided by
the other.

However, both UK and U of
l. have schools of medicine and
law. And avoiding duplication of
effort in these areas probably
would mean preventing either of
these schools from initiating pro—
grams already offered by the
other.

”This will lead to the corn-
mou board serving mainly as a
mediating factor between budget
demands of the twouniversities,"
Dr. Creer said. ”Ultimatelymon—
trol will come down to the bud-
get because, to avoid unneces-
sary duplication, there must, be
one common overseer—the board
of trustees."

University Plans

Model City; Site
Is Near Morehead

By CREITA FIELDS
The University is developing plans for a model city—”Mid—
land"-to be located about 10 miles west of Morehead, project
director Prof. james Perstridge has confirmed.

Spindletop Research is sched-
uled to complete by October pre-
liminary surveys for the proposed
city, which will be built to ac-
commodate 30,000 residents ofthe
mountainous area.

Survey information then will
be given to UK’s Institute of En-
vironmental Studies, a newly es-
tablished research group that
deals with area development. The
institute will propose Midland 5
design and the means of its de-
velopment.

Prof. Perstridge is director of
the Institute of Environmental
Studies and what has come to
be known as "Newtown Project."

To Replace 3 Towns

Midland will be situated in
an area which currently embraces
three unincorporated towns: Salt
Lick, Farmers and Midland,
whose present total population is
2,5“). The size of the proposed
city's location is 19,“ acres.

Construction is expected to
begin in 1910.

Midland is an outgrowth of
recommendations by the Gate-
way Council, an area develop-
ment planning agency under the
state Area Development Office.
The council suggestedthat such a
city could induce industry into an
area that acutely needs it.

The area already offers ample
electricity and gas for www-
tive industry, and has connec-

tions with the Chesapeake 61
Ohio Railroad.

Ernest Lackey, director of
housing and urban development
in the Area Development Office,
said Midland will try to attract
light industry, such as electron-
ics and plastics concerns.

To Offer Resort Facilities

The town will offer resort
facilities connected with a lake
being built to control flooding.

The lake will cover about
10111) acreas, possibly 14,” at
flood stage. It will be near the
central part of Midland, which
will be located in the apex formed
by Route 60 and Route 801.

Prof. Perstridge said he could
not release details about the de—
sign d the city.

Mr. Lackey said funds for
building the city will come from
private capital supplemalted
with grants and loans.

He said there are no definite
plans to construct other model
cities in Kentucky but he added
that if Midland is successfully
built, the Area Development Of-
fice may investigate the possio
bility of developing cities in other
areas—perhaps near Harlan and
Paintsville.

Midland planners say the city
should help stem the tide of
Kentuckians leaving the state for
opportunities in out-of-state ur—
ban areas.

{TuberCulosis Germs Had Infected
51 Freshmen, Test Results Show

F ifty-one freshmen this semes-
ter learned the discomforting
news that they have been in-

fected at some time with tuber—

culosis germs.

But further tests showed no
cases of active tuberculosis in any
of the students.

The tests were given for all
freshmen Aug- 28-29. More than
3,100 reported for. thetests, and
1.6 percent (the 51 freshmen al-
ready mentioned) showed posi-
tive reactions.

The freshmen also were given
a skin tests for histoplasmosis,
a cellular disease which shows a
positive reaction in an estimated

50 percent of all Kentuckians.
Histoplasmosis Reactions '

Only out -of- state students
were given the test for histo-
plasmosis. Twenty percent were
found to have a positive reaction,
suggesting the student’s previous
contact with the disease.

Each of the freshmen showing
a positive reaction to the tuber-
culosis test was further tested by
the Medical Center’s mobile X-
ray unit. Follow-up X-rays for
these students were suggested by
Medical Center personnel.

Kentucky ranks second among
all states in total deaths due to

tuberculosis. The disease is
treated primarily with the drugs
streptomycin, isoniazid, and par-
aaminosalicylic acid.

Even with these potent drugs,
which do not ”cure" the disease
but rafier inhibit further spread
and multiplication of the infect-
ious germs, long months of cOn-
finement in a special hOSpital
are essential to the infected pa-
tient.

Sneezes Carry TB Germs

A person with active tuber-
culosis sneezes or coughs and
sends germs into the air. The
germs go everywhere, can infect
anyone and are easily transported
to city and county dwellers alike.

Medical Center personnel sug-
gest that all freshmen students
unable to be tested Aug. 28 or
29 should report to the University
Health Service for their tests.

It doesn’t hurt, Med Center
doctors promise.

UK Tutorial Project Eyes
Adding Games, Programs

The Tutorial Project, spon-
sored by the YWCA and YMCA,
has always done what its name
implied: tutored.

This year, though, the pro-
ject hopes to branch out and
form recreation and program com-
mittees, project director Carolyn
Atkinson says.

”Many of the children we tu-
tor have never had the oppor-
tunity to see a football game
or play basketball," Miss Atkin—
son said.

“We hope to provide them
with the opportunity to learn
new games, possibly see a game,
and dabble with different aspects
of arts and crafts," she said.

The program committee will
have science demonstrations, put
on plays that the underprivileged
children can participate in and

Has Tutored Younga Children

The Tutorial Project has spent
its time tutoring children of gram-
mer school age from Cisco Road,
Bluegrass Housing Project, Man-
chester Center, Pralltown and
Davistown.

Miss Atkinson said an inter-
est has been expressed to include
high school students as well.

”Many of these older students
are just as deficient in basic skills
as the younger ones and need
help badly," Miss Atkinson said.

So far 108 UK students have
volunteered their time to the
Tutorial Project, she said.

“We would rather the students
volunteer than be recruited,"
Miss Robertson added, ”because
for real success one must put
his whole heart intothe project,"

One large workshop has been
planned for tutors this semester,
and small sessions will be held
periodically.

”Next semester we hope to
have nationally known speakers
visit us," Miss Atkinson said.

the unlikely distinction of being

was organized two years ago by
UK's Company C of the National
Pershing Rifle Society.

But the KB's do more than
merely exist. They have per-
formed at intercollegiate drill
meets like those at the University
of Illinois and Purdue University,
besides adding color to UK foot-

Lexington's Firemen’s Parade.

It all started in the fall se-

The organization was thus begun

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Monday, Sept. 18, 1967 —-3

‘Babes’ Discover Rare Excitement In Drill

first place in the Regimental Drill
Meet at Ohio University.

“But we're really not a show
group," Miss Owen says. "Each
movement gets points in a com-
petitive drill meet; and unless
you’re aware of the point system,
it's difficult to appreciate the
precision involved."

Opportunities Few
One problem, she adds, is the
lack of opportunity for the unit
to perform. “We even had diffi-
culty at first getting recognized
on campus. "
But the Kentucky Babes do

have at least some competition,
and soon they'll be marching on
the Administration Building's
front lawn to prepare for it.

And if the competition isn't
plentiful, it's at least rugged.

To testify to that are the
Marching Mademoiselles of Ball
State University, the Marcadettes
of Marquette University, the
Chevrons of the University of
Illinois and other groups. They'll
be out in force this .year to try
to prevent the Kentucky Babes
from earning still more distinc-
tions in women's drill competi—
tion.

Mom,l’d Rather Do It Myself

Last Monday in these columns
Student Government representa-
tives were criticized for their op-
position to Steve Cook’s ombuds-
man proposal. On Thursday in a
signed Soapbox Column 10 repre-
sentatives gave as the basis for
their opposition to the creation of
the ombudsman these two reasons:

D That each representative should
function as ombudsman.

DThat 20 of the 23 representa~
tives ran indpendently of President
Steve Cook and therefore owe no
allegiance to his platform and his
programs like the ombudsman.

The inanity of the representa-
tives' indifference to the ombuds—
man program stems from their ig—
norance of what an ombudsman is.
Apparently Steve Cook hasn’t de-
fined the concept clearly to the
representatives.

Cook has said the ombudsman
will aid individual students who
have complaints against the fac-
ulty, administration, or Student
Government itself. The Kernel’s
definition of the position is one
which will aid UK students caught-
up—in and helpless within the bu—
reaucracy of the University.

The ombudsman must be the
man who can solve this problem,
which arose this summer, instantly:

An out of state coed came to
the University to take a summer
had no ID card. A
1large check came from home. The
University bookstore was closed
for inventory for a period of 10
days.

_ The coed took the check to the
Bursar's office. His office told her
to take it to an off campus book-
store or to a downtown bank. The
bookstores wouldn’t cash the check.
The banks wouldn’t. The coed went
to the offices of the Vice President
for Student Affairs, the Vice Presi-
dent for University Relations and
the Vice President for Business
Affairs.

The coed saw none of these

men. She came to The Kernel in
tears. When called, Robert Ker-
ley, vice president for business af-
fairs took immediate steps to have
the Bursar’s office cash student
checks.

The plight of this coed, caught-
up-in and helpless within the bu-
reaucracy of the University, is not
uncommon. .

Originating in Sweden, from
ombud, public service; ~sman, one
who performs, the concept has come
to America, as nearby as the Courier—
Journal, which has an ombudsman,
John Herchenroeder. He is armed
with authority to get something
done about valid complaints and
to propose methods for more ef-
fective performance of the news-
paper’s services.

Even administrators at other
colleges see the need for an om-
budsman. Edmond C. Hallberg,
dean of students at California State
College in Los Angeles, last week
recommended the creation of a
campus ombudsman.-

Student Covemment representa-
tives' misunderstanding of theterm
is excusable. Their failure to see
the need for such a program is a
confession of ignorance about the
plight of many students, like the
coed, or those in the Amateur

Radio Club, and others.

Because the idea is Steve Cook’s
”doesn’t mean that representatives
shouldn’t get cracking on it right
now. Their antagonism to the pro-
gram reeks of childishness. Of an
immature desire to get in on the
action.

In their statement in The Ker-
nel they suggested that representa—
tives, keeping office hours, could
solve such problems. Phooey!

Twenty-three heads are not bet-
ter than one. The ombudsman must
be able to respond quickly to prob-
lems like that of the coed with
the check. And student represen-
tatives must learn to rule by leg-
islating.

AWS: Intuition Has Rushed In
Where Logic Failed To Tread

”Do you wear the mask of oth—
ers’ morals, or do you set the stan—
dards?” freshman women were
asked last week by AWS represen-
tative Kate Ellison. Miss Ellison
asked an admirable question, the
kind ‘that would have made old
Ralph Waldo Emerson stand up
and say, “Here! Here!" Cood hard—
hitting self-reliance; there’s nothing
like it!

But then after breathing in with
satisfaction that maybe AWS«ers
had come of ethical age, or intel-
lectual age, or perhaps even com-
mon-sensical age, the same breath
was taken away by one of Miss
Ellison's fellows. Quoth fellow rep—
resentatives MaryAlice Shipley and

.7 “'9 v w r" r-‘v‘rW-v‘rvvra‘ ' 1‘ ' ""'

Bev Moore: “Look and act like
ladies.” “Campus appearanceis an
indication of character.”

And then to top it all and
crush the last little “bit of good
feeling, Miss Ellison herself pointed
out that image should be es ab-
lished in the freshman year Ngrid
that it is supremely important.

One must wonder if female in-
stitution (what other explanation
could there be?) might just have
rushed right in where logic failed
to tread. Because it seems there is
something of a contradiction in

University Community Devoid
0f Warmth And Stimulation

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

The‘meaning of the word warmth is
something few people on this campus
really understand. Does college life with
all its routinization inhibit its growth?
The answers can be found by looking
at life on this campus. Are the real
emotions of professor and students ex-
hibited during an academic year? Why
not?

Will a feeling of warmth and brother-
hood be exhibited in the classroom? Bahl
Will it be in the grill?—too segregated.
Or will it be on campus somewhere?—
not as you pass through the ”bastions
of coldness," the classroom buildings.
Only those students fortunate enough
to have an Eddington as a prof will
overcome the feeling of student affairs
indifference.

Do people on this campus want to be
intellectually stimulated? What would
UK be if there were no ”bitch-ins"? It
would be sterile. Does complacency dom-
inate life on campus? Are people simply
wrapped up in the quest, for future income
as a reason for attending college?

Are professors on this campus censored
in what they feel and think on expressing
certain ”controversial" campus issues? I
know they are.

The fact that a graduate student said,
“When I first came here, I had to im—
mediately seek out some out-of-state stu-
dents for communication; otherwise I
would have gone crazy." (sic) Does this
indicate something about UK?

I am for people becoming people again
and a total defeat of banality. Who's
an idealist? I would like to feel that
UK students are not going through four
years of emptiness. Have you ever met
an Italian-American?

Support The Wildcats!

Since my entrance into the University
in 1965, I have been aware of an anti—
football attitude of the Kemel's staff. The
article on September 13 was too much for
me to swallow without some ombection.
It isthis type of attitude that paralyzes

. Illegars- the Standards teach". the winning spirit. notthe player} think

it is the wish of every sincere student
at the University that the Wildcats have
a successful football team. In order forthe
Wildcats to have a successful season they
need the support of the student body,
the faculty, and last but not least the
support of the school newspaper.

This year we have the potential of a
great football team, so let's support the
'Wildcats and their staff instead of con-
stantly trying to find something wrong
with them or the game.

Criticizes McSurelys ‘

The charges of sedition against Alan
McSurely have created a controversy in
Kentucky. I do not write to comment
on the merits of the case and whether
or not McSurely is guilty of the specific
charge of sedition (even he said he did
not know if he were a seditionist); that
is for the court of law to decide. Un-
fortunately The Kemel appears to have
already found McSurely innocent. Not
only has The Kernel attempted to make
McSurely another ”martyr" of the lefl,
but it has decided that the law enforce-
ment officials who charged him with
sedition are really to blame. Why hasn't
The Kernel interviewed the elected offi-
cials of Pike County? Are they not even
interested in their views?

I don't criticize the program of the
AV (sic) in Eastern Kentucky. This work
is vitally needed, but a person like Mc-
Surely who will instill people with ideas
alien to those upon which this country
was built is not needed in Kentucky
or any other state. Far from bringing
the benefits of the American free so-
ciety into the hills, McSurely attempts
to promote the left-wing programs of
planning and regimentation.

I suggest that we remain constantly
aware of what these individuals do, so
that we know what is factual and what is
nothing more than a misleading report of
The Kernel.

Count The Forms . 0f Discrimination

Dear Mother, .
I arrived at school two days

that the conference was worth

a beautiful study in human re-

Dear Mother,

In my last letter, I forgot to

Coming back to Lexington,
I thought of the possibilities for
living accommodations. Then I
thought of Pralltown the Negro
ghetto right across Limestone
from UK.

It's being urban renewed out

And being a changing neighbor-

live there would not be hard to
find.

I had two encounters with

That's the impression I've

I followed up on the nature
of the slumlord by asking if he

He even had a house for rent.

RIOTS THIS SUMMER

By GENE BERNHABDT

WASHINGTON—The Office
of Ecofi‘omic Opportunity, strik-
ing back at charges that anti-
poverty workers helped start some
of the city riots, said today its
own investigation showed that
OEO summer programs in 32
cities were vital in preventing
disorders.

"Not one police chief or ma-
yor said OEO heightened ten-
sions," the agency said in a
summary of its findings. ”On
the contrary, most mayors and
police officials felt 0E0 sum-
mer programs had helped to pre-
vent violence in their communi-
ties."

Witnesses told congressional
committees last month that anti-
poverty workers paid by federal
funds either instigated some riots
or participated in them. 0130

charges because legislation to
