The South’s Outstanding College Daily
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

By DARRELL RICE

Bernie A. Shively, University
director of athletics, died late
Sunday afternoon at the age of
64. His death came about two
hours after a heart attack.

Mr. Shively was admitted to
St. Joseph Hospital in Lexing-
ton after his condition was dis-
covered by his wife. He died at
the hospital. Dr. Matthew Dar-
nell, the attending physician,
said Mr. Shively had been “in
perfectly good health."

University President Dr. John
W. Oswald said of Mr. Shive-
ly’s death:

"The entire University com-
munity, the whole state and the
athletic world at large are all
shocked beyond belief at the
unexpected, untimely passing of
Bernie Shively.

"The University has lost one
of its most respected, dedicated
and loyal leaders, and I have
lost a close and esteemed per-
sonal friend. Among athletic

 

directors across this country,

Bernie has no equal. Our heart-
felt sympathy goes to Mrs.
Shively and his son and daugh»
ter.”

Coach Adolph Rupp said he
had talked with Mr. Shively “a
thousand times about retiring
the same year when we were
70. This comes as a shock. I
guess we’ve been closer than
any two men in the last 15
years. He was first on the list
in his field, and the sports world
has lost a great administrater

and good friend.”

Bradshaw Comments
Football Coach Charles Brad-

shaw said he was “just terribly
hurt because I know I’ve lost
a great friend. He was a won-
derful person who has certainly
done a terrific job.

“He was one of the guiding
lights and acted as president of
the Southeastern Conference for
a great number of years. He
served diligently, of course, in
the framework of the NCAA

marched in protest outside the
Coliseum Saturday night at the
Kentucky-Pennsylvania game. It
was the second such demonstra-

tion in a single week.
The picketing again was
sponsored by newly militant

Orgena and was meant to pro-
test the absence of Negroes on
the UK basketball team.

Orgcna president-elect Theo-
dore Berry, who identified him-
self as the group's spokesman.
said Sunday afternoon, "we
mainly want to be recognized—
previously the black students
here have been ignored."

u\Ve've always been referred
to as Negro students," Berry
said. “But we want to be called
black students from now on to
show we are gaining some kind
of identity. We are proud to

a stigma attached."
All Negroes

He said all demonstrators
were Negro students "because
we want it that way—to show
that black students are con—
cerned about doing something
about conditions here, and that
they want to do it for them-
selves."

But Berry added that the
group “welcomes" white stu-
dents to organize on their own.

He said one of the main rea-
sons for the demonstration was
to improve the Negro's social
life on campus.

"I do not mean our social-
izing with fraternities or inte-
grating," Berry said. "\Ve just
want to better our social lives
as individuals."

If black athletes are recruit-
ed, Berry said, more Negro
students will come here. That

'Discouraged’ Them
Berry said some athletes the
University has tried to recruit
have mentioned to him that
Coach Rupp made remarks in
talks with them that "sort of
discouraged their coming here."

A few students harrassed the
demonstrators by yelling “Do
it again, Adolph." But no at-
tempts to attack the marchers
physically were made.

“We do plan to keep doing
something until blacks are re-
cruited," Berry said. But he
was uncertain about what form
protests will take in the future.

\Vhen Coach Rupp was asked
about the demonstrations, he
said he didn’t know there were
any, and he said he thought
no one else did either.

Antirecruiter Protest Ends

signed up

 

Formal protest here against military recruiters
ended, at last temporarily, Friday afternoon.

Marine and Navy recruiters and Peace Action
Group (PAC) protesters had all deserted their
tables in the Student Center by 4:00 pm. During
the week a planned PAC read-in was overruled
by Student Center officials; so was the use of
a Navy film projector.

”Trouble" was expected by some people, not
least by the Student Center Board. But no trouble
came. The recruiters and the protesters stayed
on cordial terns the whole time.

Marine recruiter Maj. A. W. Deckel Jr. de-
scribed PAC's behavior by saying, ”It's been
just fine."

He said the group's main effect on recruit-
ing was to ”increase the interest in those who
would shop through here."

It Was 'Fine'

And PAC Chairman Bill Allison said of the
recruiters: "Everything was fine. We discussed
things every day in an intelligent manner. They
(the recruiters) all appear to be fine men. We
disagree with their work, but not with them as
individuals."

for peace" during the week by putting their names
on a list to receive a PAC newsletter.

He said the draft counseling service offered
every afternoon during the protest was usually
busy with interested people coming in to talk
things over.

Two members of the faculty, novelist—poet
Wendell Berry, assistant professor of English, and
John Strickland, of the School of Architecture at
times manned the PAC table along with students.

Several other faculty members came by the
table to lend moral support.

On Thursday some of the seven Asian stu-
dents who were here for the ”Learning about
Asians" conference in the Student Center stopped
by the peace table and talked.

Some of them favored the war and others did
not. But they talked back and forth with PAC
members for several minutes.

And a number of foreign students attending
UK came by the table during the week in order
to exchange views.

any bigger effort (to recruit
Negroes) than we did. They
couldn’t get in school,” Coach
Rupp said, referring to the ath-
letes ACT scores.

He added with apparent irri-
tation, “If these guys (the dem-
onstrators) were as serious in
their work as I am in mine,
they would go back and start
studying.”

and was held in the highest es-
teem by his contemporaries all
over the nation.”

Mr. Shively served in the
University’s Athletic Depart-
ment since 1927- and became
director of athletics in 1938.

He was born in Oliver, Ill.,
May 26, 1903, and went on to
build an outstanding athletic
record in high school.

He entered the University of
Illinois and played on the Illini
football team along with “The
Galloping Ghost," Red Grange.
He received All-America recog-
nition as a guard on the 1926
team.

Mr. Shively has served as
president of the Southeastern
Conference Coaches and Ath-
letic Directors Association for
the past 14 years. He also has
been chairman of the SEC Bas-
ketball Committee and the
NCAA summer baseball group.

Survivors include his wife
Ruth, 3 son, Doug, and a
daughter, Mrs. Suzanne Hav-
ens, who graduated Phi Beta
Kappa from UK in 1957. Mr.
Shively’s son is an assistant
football coach at UK.

Funeral arrangements are be-
ing made with W. R. Milward
Funeral Directors.

Only the night before his
death, at the Kentucky-Penn-
sylvania basketball game, Mr.
Shively assisted a spectator who
was seized with a heart attack.
The athletic director’s efforts to
aid the stricken man caused
Mr. Shively to miss all but the
last few minutes of the second
half of the game.

And they are not, thank hea-

The industry is catering to

They're thinner, packaged in a

ChriStifias Commercialized,

Say Some Foreign Students

Whether they are Hindu, Mos-
lem or Christian, University for—
eign students find counterparts
to Christmas in their homelands.
Many enjoy seasonal parties or at-
tending church, and many agree
that “the American Christrms
is too commercialized."

Despite the hustle of shop-
pers, however, Le Van Hoa thinks
of Christmas in America as quiet.
“Christmas here is peaceful and
secure. No bombings." He is
from Vietnam.

“Everyone enjoys Christmas
in Vietnam," says Le Van Hoa.
”The fighting stops. For two
days we can go out at night."
There is no martial law during
the holiday.

In Vietnam, the lunar New
Year at the end of January is
the most important holiday.
Fighting and work stop for three
days. Schools take a month-and-
a-half vacation. Presents, candy
and cookies are exchanged then.

In Iran, where 85 percent of
the population is Moslem, Christ-
mas is not a big holiday. “New
Year on March 20 is much like
Christ mas," says MaryamAshraf.
“We eat seven foods. Each foodfs
name begins with “."S On the
birthday of the Prophet, stores
give free ice cream and candy.

Sudha Agarwal is a Hindu
from India. She does not cele-
brate Christmas with the few
Christians in India. “Krieshne

(the birthday of the Hindu God)
is our biggest holiday. We go
to temples as you go to church.

It is very solemn. We fast and
give food to God as inthe Christ-
ian communion."

The year's most festive event
in India is Diwali. At that time,
gifts are exchanged and lamps
are lit.

In an Israeli-occupied section
of Syria, Assaf Rahal says Christ-
mas is not a major holiday. “ Most
of the people are Moslems. We
Christians go to church, feast
and visit our Christian friends
in groups. We know almost all
of them because the number is
small.”

While the trees are of a dif-
ferent kind, Rahal decorated them
in the same way as the Christ-
nns fir. But ”Santa Claus is not
as important as he is here," Rahal
said.

Etim Ituen, one of the 35 per-
cent of Christians in Nigeria, is
shocked at the American Christ-
mas. "It is commercializedtothe
rmximum. The Nigerian Christ-
rms is very religious. We cele-
brate with meditation."

But Ituen said Christmas
brightens his spirits. ”I like

Christmas here and enjoy all the
decorations. ”

Because the north is Moslem
and the south is Christian, both
religious celebrations are nation-
al holidays in Nigeria.

Hashim Noor, a Moslem from
Malaysia, celebrates Christmas
with Christian friends. ”I love
Christmas dinner and attend
Midnight miss." He too, feels
that the American holiday is too
commercialized. ”The exchange
of gifts is good only it it is sin-
cere."

Marielsa Ruiz of Cuba says
since communism came to Cuba,
the people celebrate because of
tradition more than religion.
”Christmas during the last years
I spent in Cuba was not very
enjoyable. There was no food.
We lived in disgust for the gov-
ernment."

Miss Ruiz came to the United
States three years ago.

“Before communism, we cele-
brated Christmas Dec. 24. We
kept a tree and nativity scene up
until Jan. 6. Our meal was much
like Thanksgiving."

Poll Finds Americans

Pessimistic

On War

PRINCETON, NJ. (UPI)—Only a minority (f the American
people believe all-out victory in Vietnam is possible at this time,
according to a Gallup poll released Sunday. Almost 50 percent of
them feel that Red China, if provoked, would enter the war, while
a rmjority believe American troops should not be sent North.

Fear of the Red Chinese un-
doubtedly played a part in the
opinion of people in the United
States who oppose extending the
ground war into North Vietnam,
a course favored by former Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower and
now under consideration by the
Pentagon, the poll said.

Of those tallied 39 percent
favored sending troops North
while 44 percent were against ex-
tending the ground war. Seven-
teen percent of those polled had
no opinion on the subject.

The survey, conducted in 1,583
households across the nation by
George Callup, director of the
American Institute of Public
Opinion, showed 49 percent of
the American people, at thistime,
were fearful Red Chinese troops
would enter the war if North
Vietnam showed signs of col-
lapse.

Memories (X Korea

Current attitudes on the possi-
bilities of intervention by Com-
munist China likely arise in part
from memories of the Korean
conflict, Dr. Gallup said.

Of those polled, 36 percent

said they didn't believe Bed
China would enter the war and
15 percent had no opinion.

Last August, 40 percent be-
lieved Chinese troops would
move South, 38 percent said they
would not, and 22 percent, no
opinion. A poll taken in June
1966 showed 38 percent of the
Americans polled thought the Red
Chinese would move South, 35
percent believed they would not
send troops and 27 percent had
no opinion.

In the poll released Sunday,
65 percent believe the outcome
of the conflict will be a com-
promise peace settlement, 19 per—
cent think there will be all-out
victory and 4 percent believe the
United States will be defeated.
Thirteen percent had no opinion.

The proportion who think the
war will end in a compromise
has grown considerably since
June, the poll showed, when 55
percent thought a compromise
possible. At that time 15 percent
thought there would be all-out
victory and 5 percent believed
the US. would be defeated.
Those expressing no opinion then
were 25 percent of the total pollcxl.

 ~ ' Put ru’pworvshutrup, Orgena ~

Orgena demonstrators would be
well advised to get out of the
demonstration business and into
the recruiting business if they wish
to see a Negro athlete on the UK
basketball team.

There is convincing ascertain-
able evidence that UK went to
great length to recruit the follow-
ing Negro athletes last year: Mc-
Daniels, Perry, Bose, Thurston,
Sylvester, and Porter.

Presently there are four out-
standing Negro basketball players
whom UK says it would sign to-
morrow, grade transcripts and
ACT test scores permitting.

When signing time comes in the
spring, Orgena should be held
strictly accountable for its efforts
to recruit these players, since Or-
gena blandly accuses those in the
Coliseum of discrimination, or of
not trying hard enough to recruit
Negro basketball players.

Orgena should learn that the
first question Rupp asks about a
prospective athlete does not per-

By JOHN LANSDALE
Graduate Student In Economics

Navy recruiters: as little respect as I
have for you either, I extend you my.
most heartfelt sympathy as I would to
anyone who was unfortunate enough to
have to listen to Bill Allison and the
gang read to them from All Quiet On
The Western Front while they were try—
ing to concentrate on their job.

Of course, our protesters can excuse
this and their other ”degenerate" be-
havior by making it known or by know-
ing themselves that what they are doing
is helping end a worse evil—war—and
then they could even be considered brave
men by any standard.

On the contrary, however, for two rea-
sons I am going to assert that these pro-
testers are not brave but neurotic, im-
mature and/or foolhardy.

In the first place I think very few
of our protesters today are true paci-
fists and it can very easily be proven.
How many of them would stand by in
peace as an intruder attacked and at-
tempted to kill a member of his family
or any other individual?

Or how rmny of them advocate com-
pletely doing away with the police de-
partment? Would they demonstrate
against war while the Red Chinese hoard
was swarming into Hawaii?

An honest pacifist (as I expect the
Quakers who sailed to North Vietnam with
medical supflies were) would have to
answer yes to all of these questions.
Has the percentage of pacifists increased
so nuch in the relatively short time
since World War II?

How then can these protesters call
for an end to the Vietnam war without
consideration of the results if they are
not true pacifists?

There is a very legitimate -way out
which can be summarized with the word

tain to color. Rupp asks first what
are his grades? What is his class
standing? He never asks is the
boy white or black, as Orgena
seems to think.

Orgena, your efforts to date ad—
vocate tokenism, get us a Negro
for the sake of having a Negro.

Now anyone can walk around
with signs protesting. You will ac-
complish little this way. Suggest
you go into the Coliseum. Speak
to Rupp, Lancaster, Hall, or come
by The Kernel office, to get the
names of the Negro basketball
players currently being courted
by UK

“These athletes are like a pretty
girl with more than a hundred
handSome suitors. It takes more
than an offer of a free college edu-
cation to win them. It takes more
than a visit or two from the coach-
ing staff to the boy’s home,” As-
sistant Coach Lancaster told The
Kernel today.

Come in out of the unenlight-
ened cold, Orgena, and get to
work It’s as simple as that.

We, as yourselves, see no intrinsic

worth in integration. Integration, for its
own sake, is a slap in the/face. For the
first part, it says that a white man has
no worth except in the presence of blacks;
certainly you'd never buy that, secondly,
it says that a black nun has no worth
except in the presence of whites, this may
be debatable, but only in a cosmic sense,
and how many of us know that much
about the cosmos.

We are only suggesting that our un-

deniable estrangement on this campus

would be closer to resolution if the entire
realm of UK life were “Open" and oc-
cupied by blacks as well as yourselves.

We consider this request.not too di-
vorced from the democratic principles that
you, for the most part, have established.

lororvledge. Before proceeding let me say
as there is a very small percentage of
pacifists in this country, there is prob-
ably an equally small number of war
mongers and that it is almost every-
one's hope including our national ob-
jective, to end the evil our pacifists
want to end—war. (If you don't agree
with this statement, let me know and
I'll help you find a good psychologist
or recommend you a good place of wor-
ship where you can reaffirm your faith
in mankind.)

America and its allies' struggle in Viet-
nam is for the same objective our pro-
testers have and is part of an overall
strategy based on the same thing most of
our pacifists claim to base their actions
or knowledge, to end war. It is, based
on the knowledge the U.S. government
has, the lesser of evils.

But what of this knowledge our pa—
cifists have that tells them the opposite,
or that the Vietnam war is as well as
being bad in itself leading to worse,
and at any rate doing nothing to end
the greater evil?

Although I personally have a fair stock
of knowledge about the Vietnam war and
could give many people a pretty good
argument why—based on facts—the U.S.
should not unconditionally withdraw from
Vietnam, I am not going to criticize our
protesters on the grounds of knowledge
simply because I admit my knowledge
on the war is limited.

Now, can you guess what my criti-
cism is going to be based on? Yes, the
wotesters' (especially the ones at UK but
on a national scale, too) ignorance orlack
of knowledge. Why do I think this?

On the one side knowledge comes
from experience (in the broad sense which
includes records of experience in the writ-
ten, spoken, and taught word) and in-
telligence interacting with each other as
far as I know, and I suspect from my
own experience increased (through study

Editor: the readers write

We fervently desire to become a part of
the “esprit des corps" at the athletic
events, as well as the less salient fours
of a “real" college life.

For it is certain that the college years
are the most productive of one's life; we
request, and demand that you deny us no
longer.

Evidence shows that the basketball
team at UK has done well enough with-
out black athletes, we grant this as true
and well, but it is principle that we hold
as the basis of our protest. We feel that
this University has no black athletes
on the basketball squad because those
in whose hands the ultimate decision
lies, have not wanted any black players.

Further, we feel that the ”attempts"
made in recruitment have, at best, been

  

for example) with a given intelligence,
knowledge increases.

And on the other side again from per-
sonal observation our protesters lack both
knowledge and (especially at UK) intel-
ligence.

I won't say much more about the
lack of intelligence since I am not real
sure about this opinion and have said it
here mainly to shock some lunk-heads
who think all pacifists are intelligent
intellects who must be right but aren't

understood.

My min bases in fact are handwrit-
ing analysis and the response some of
them I know have made to questions
requiring insight born of intelligence.
There are exceptions, and as a group our
pacifists may well have an average I.Q.
well above the UK average, but they are
not all a bunch of intellects.

I will, however, be more concrete about
the lack of experience. Unless someone
proves that a significant amount of the
U.S. government's experts in Vietnam's
time has been spent in some unprofes-
sional minner, it can be deduced that
based on time exposed and study very
few men in the U.S. today have more
experience about Vietnam and modern
politics in general than they do, and giv-
ing their intelligence the faith it deser—
ves, it can certainly be said that the
knowledge they have is worth listening
to.

I will be the first to admit, on the
other hand, that they are not gods and
are not always right and most others
have a lot of knowledge too, and on
our level as citizens, as the Germans
found out we can let our faith in of-
ficial judgment go too far so we must
to our best to gain our own experience
on the war so we will know how to
vote and act.

This citizen's experience (remember

which includes learning) can come from '

for the sake of self-righteous ego satis-
faction.

Therefore, we shall continue to protest
in any, and all areas of University life
from which we feel estranged ...ob-
viously, this will enhance the school in
its entirety.

ers, or habitual muckrackers, we are stu
