UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

Vol. LXI, No. 100

President Lists
Goals Of NKSC
By MARY

SUTHERLAND

Kernel Staff Writer
Dr. VV. Frank Stceley, 44, is
the first president of Northern
Kentucky State College (NKSC),
Covington.
Through his guidance the college will take its place as a state
college, alongside UK, four regional universities and Kentucky
State College.
In a recent interview, Dr.
Steeley explained that NKSC
will have several
e
programs, especially in the area
of the arts and sciences.
Fine Arts
MI would
eventually like to see
a program emphasizing the fine
arts begun at NKSC. This is an
area which has been neglected
by many of our state schools,
said Dr. Steeley.
Dr. Steeley explained that
since the school is located in the
biggest metropolitan area in the
state, programs that will help
solve urban problems should be
considered.
Northern Community College,
Covington, is going to be used
as the nucleus for NKSC.
Program Carry-Ove- r
Dr. Steeley noted that several
of the programs used in the community college will be carried
over to the new college. One
example is the nursing program.
"I do not want to build this
institution on curriculum only,
but also on faculty, said Dr.
Steeley.
Dr. Steeley says he is willing
to "talk" to youth, but "I won't
let them get aggressive. I don't
worship their point of view, but
I will listen to them."
Today's youth seems to be
arrogant and don't seem to know
who their friends are. They lash
multi-purpos-

out at the establishment because
it is the establishment," he said.
No Student Code
Asked if the school has a student code yet. Dr. Steeley replied, "I don't like codes or written rules. ' I don't care for the

mechanical type of mind where
everything has to be written
out. I will be involved in building this school and won't have
the time for that."
NKSC will open its doors for
the first time this fall. The
school will use the present
Northern Community College
campus for the time being.
Moving The Campus
Plans have been made for the
college to move to Campbell
County.
Dr. Steeley said that options
have been taken on land and
will be exercised after July 1.
That is the date which will officially establish NKSC.
No junior courses will be offered until fall 1971 with the
first class graduating in May,
1973.
At the moment, the tuition at
the college will be $240 a year,
the same as at the regional universities.
Background
Dr. Steeley formerly was an.
academic dean at Clinch Valley
College, Wise, Va. He received
his B.A. from the University of
South Carolina, his master's
from UK, and his Ph.D. from
the University of Rochester.
From 1956-6- 7
he was the
chairman of the Department of
History at Murray State University.

returned.

May Use Troops
President Nixon had said Saturday, that he would not negotiate with participants in the
strike. The President would not
say directly whether he would
order the use of troops to restore
service, but announced that on
Monday he would act to "see to
it that the mails go through."
Informed sources in Washington said administration officials
planned tentatively to limit any
initial troop use to a few thousand men if the President does

spring, is serving his third term
as a SG representative.

Postal Strike Spreading;
Nixon's Deadline Ignored
Associated Press
Postal workers in many of the
nation's big cities voted Sunday
to ignore President Nixon's Monday deadline for ending their illegal walkout, but some smaller
locals agreed to return to work.
James Rademacher, president
of the letter carriers' union, predicted again, however, that 90
per cent would be on the job
Monday.
Labor Secretary Ceorge P.
Shultz said negotiations would
begin if a majority of the strikers

moved.
However, these officials are
prepared to raise the number to
about 175,000 if the postal
workers prolong or widen their
strike.
The strike started Wednesday
in New York City and spread
quickly to major cities outside
the South.
Strong Support
There were overwhelming
votes Sunday to continue the
strike by postal workers in Detroit; Brooklyn, N. Y.; Philadelphia; Newark, N. J.; Akron,
Ohio; Minneapolis and St. Paul,
Minn.
In Cleveland, clerks voted to
join the carriers on strike. The

He proposed a "politics of

Government would be "open to

W01 'Carry Out Measures'
In his election announcement,
Bright also said he "would like
to have the opportunity to utilize the executive branch of Student Government and its official
organs to implement many significant and meaningful meas-

ures."
He indicated this would solve
the problem of Student Government dealing with "important issues" but unable to "carry out

The two, who fouled out in

NEW YOR'C (AP)
The
Smothers Brothers return to television this July with a summer
sIkjw for ABC on Wednesday
nights.
It will be the first regular
appearance for Tom and Dick
Smothers since CBS fired them
last April in a dispute over con-,teof their comedy hour for
that network.
CBS charged they had failed
to submit one of their Sunday
night shows for a screening by
the network and its affiliates at
the requirtxl time. The show in
question was never aired by CBS,

but subsequently was shown by
a number of independent stations.

will be moved to Saturday night to replace Jimmy
Durante and the Lennon Sisters.
Pat Paulsen, who first came to
fame on the Smothers show, will
be a regular. His own ABC show
is being dropped.
ABC indicated that the show
to be produced by the Smothers
would be subject to review before air time, a common network
practice.
Tom Smothers had engaged
in a long dispute with CBS over
the contents of the comedy hour.
The show occasionally was censored. Segments cut included
some starring folk singers Pete

Eastland Subcommittee Investigates Radical Groups

WASHINGTON,
LNS)-T- he

D.C.

(CPS- Se-

Senate Internal

curity Subcommittee, under the
chairmanship of Sen. James O.
Eastland of Mississippi, has
launched a new investigation into several radical groups.
The investigation involves at
least four groups:

news distribution agency which
sends a packet of articles, photos
and drawings twice a week to
500 subscribers in the U.S. and
abroad.

Cambridge Iron and Steel,
Inc., a corporation operated by
movement people for the purpose
of distributing money donated
by a wealthy benefactor. A
spokesman for Cambridge Iron
and Steel described the organization as a "fluke" that is, not
the ordinary movement funding
apparatus and said the name
was a joke. The corporation disbursed nearly $25,000 to about
a dozen movement groups, including LNS and the SDS New

of Labor George P. Shultz
said Sunday negotiations on a pay raise for postal workers will
begin Monday-- if officials are satisfied a majority of employees
has ended a wildcat strike which has disrupted mail service over
wide areas.
James H. Rademacher, chief of the Association of Letter Carriers
blamed the unprecedented, illegal strike on agitators within his own
union, naming specifically Students for a Democratic Society. He
added that he had asked a departmental investigation and may
request a congressional inquiry.
Shultz and Rademacher spoke with newsmen after an
meeting between the secretary and representatives
of seven postal unions. Leaders of all the union joined with Shultz
in expressing hope that the discussions can get underway Monday
afternoon, in accordance with a tentative agreement they reached

Dank Records
The Eastland subcommittee
has so far obtained the bank
records of IPS (which offered
no resistance)
and of Cambridge Iron and Steel (whose
bank, Cambridge Trust, did not
notify the corporation.)
The banks of LNS and SDS
were served with subpoenas to
produce the records of the accounts for the subcommittee, but
the banks notified the movement
groups. LNS and SDS went into
court together, successfully obtaining a temporary restraining
order.
Continuing legal action by the
two groups will seek to enjoin
well-endow-

left-liber- al

the subcommittee

from continuing its investigation. So far,
a federal Judge has postponed
making a decision.
Meanwhile, officers for Cambridge Iron and Steel were scheduled to appear before the subcommittee at secret hearings. A
day before their scheduled appearance on Feb. 26, however,
the Cambridge people were notified that the hearings were postponed "until further notice."

The only hint as to the direction the Eastland investigators
may be going came in a Chicago
Tribune article written by Ronald Koziol, a reporter known to
have close ties with the FBI
and the Chicago cops. Korciol's
informants told him that they
were concerned about the fact
that "some federally-ta- x
exempt
foundations have supplied funds

to LNS."

Koziol wrote: "Senate investigators believe that the Liberation
News Service could not have
stayed in business without financial contributions . . . Investigators who have studied the news
service's releases said that they

made Monday moming.
Rademacher predicted 90 percent of postal workers will be on
duty Monday moming. He said if this doesn't happen he'll go directly to President Nixon who has said the mails must go through
and hinted he'll call troops if necessary.
These assessments came while locals of the carriers' union,
which precipitated the widespread tie-u- p
by throwing up picket
lines that were honored by other unions, were voting on their
chiefs appeal to return to work.
Speaking of what he called subversive elements within his
union, Rademacher told reporters:
"I know that last year SDS members got in the union. They,
working with others, were able to get a strike vote. I have asked
the Post Office Inspection Service to investigate the situation, and
we might at a later date ask for a congressional investigation."

The group has grown to 104

Kernel Soapbox
By BILL DAWSON
SC Representative
Student Government has been attacked
by many on this campus for tKeir occasional farsical fashion in dealing with some
legislation, but let us consider some of the

legislation they discharged with responsibility and demonstrated their legitimate
representation of students.
Two of the more noteworthy early
accomplishments that come to my mind
are the plan to distribute football tickets
in the group or block arrangement. The
other accomplishment was a backing of
a plan to abolish
grades and
such a policy has been adopted by the
mid-ter-

m

University Senate.
In the area of the dorms, specialized
legislation yielded a liberalization of open
houses and an approved metltod for obtaining permission for such. In addition,
the Conference of Dorm Presidents provided a more open forum for discussion of

Kernels
The history of science is science itself; the history of the individual, the
individual.

obliged to do, and play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.

housing problems in general and also in
their particular facility.
Perhaps, the most used service provided to students by SG, the bus service,
extended at night to provide protection'
as well as transportation for those students desiring it, was funded by SC.
In the area of students' rights, numerous bills have been introduced revising
and rewording essential and needed reforms in the Student Code.
And lastly, final approval on the use
of Classroom Building facilities was secured for students who find this area a
more pleasant and workable climate than
the library. Delinquent use of these facilities will result in our loss of these
facilities, but our constant effort to show
good faith will open the doors of many
buildings for fate night study.
The above examples are only a few
of the many aras in which SC is concerned. The recent election reforms, hailed
by some as no reform at all, present an
initial opportunity for SC to move forward with renewed vigor, because the
administration in power in April will
have a majority of students beliind them
and not a minority as is the case at
present.
And why, one might ask, is a President of the entire student body elected
by a minute group of managed males
and forceful females? Then we logically
ask what are the majority of students
doing to prevent this occurrence. They
are voting for ignorance and apathy, two
outstanding candidates whose platform
provides for institutionalizing a contest
to detennine who the best beer drinker
on campus is and award such with a cabinet position.
In conclusion, I ask a question of'
ALL STUDENTS-w- ho
creates absurdity
in SC? Those who speak loudly or those
whose silence speaks most loudly?

Put him 12,000 miles from home;
Empty his heart of all his blood;
Make him sweat and live in the mud;
This is the life we have to live;
And while my soul to the devil I'll give;

"You Peace Boys" from your easy chaii
Don't really know what it's like to be here.
You have a ball without really trying;
While over here, the boys are dying.
You burn your Draft Cards, March at dawn
Plant your flag on the White House lawn
You all want to ban the bomb
"There is no war in Vietnam"
Use your drugs, have your fun;
Then, refuse to take a gun;
There is nothing else for you to do;
And I am supposed to die for you?
I'll hate you till the day I die;
You made me hear my buddy cry
I saw his arm a Bloody shread
I heard them say: "This one is dead"
It's a large price he had to pay
He had the guts to fight and die
He paid the price. What did he buy?
Governors, State legislature who support those cowards, don't waste your
time.

they call law and medical students freaks

general do everything else except look in
the mirror to see that they have been
describing themselves.
