Brooklyn
Students
End Strike

BROOKLYN (CPS) — Students
at Brooklyn College, ended their
boycott of classes Tuesday after.
noon afier a faculty committee
appointed by the college presi-
dent approved a list of seven stu-
dent demands.

The demands now will besent
to acting President Dr. Francis
P. Kilcoyne for his signature. It
is expected that he will concede
to the student demands.

The strike started Thursday
after police invaded the campus
to break up an antiwar demon-
stration. Of the 10,ll)0 day stu-
dents at the school, fewer than
2,000 havebeen attending classes,
and about 250 faculty members
also have been striking.

Students said’they would not
go back to their classes until the
adnninistratiorn agreed to recog-
nize certain student rights. A 15-
nnember student committee
drafted the demands, and Presi-
dent Kilcoyne appointed seven
faculty members to review the
statement.

Police Calls Out

The statement approved by
the faculty committee includes a
new rule that police will not be
called onto campus except in
regard to personal injury, theft,
or natural disaster, and then only
under the direct responsibility of
the president.

In last Thursday's protest,
more than 50 students and three
faculty members were arrested.
The students were staging a sit-
in in the Administration Build-
ing to protest the presence of
Navy recruiters on campus.

The faculty committee also
approved a demand by students
that legal due process be ob-
served in all student disciplinary
matters. The statement also says
the college will intercede on be-
half of the students arrested
Thursday, and that no reprisals
will be taken either directlyorin-
directly against any of the pro-
test participants.

In addition, no outside re-
cruiters will be provided with
table space in the Administration
Building or on campus grounds,
according to the statement. The
students also demanded that the
present “non—representative and
pOWerless" Student Council be
dissolved and that acampuswide
union of students be established
with a governing body of demo-
cratically elected representatives.

Brooklyn Protest

d youths turned out for an antiwar demonstration to protest the

presence of Navy ofiicers on campus. A student strike, which
ended only Tuesday, followed.

 

Parking Mess Demands

Spaces, Studies, Omens

By MARTIN E. WEBB
Is the University running an illegal money-making operation?
Prof. John W. Hutchinson, a professor in the civil engineering
department, believes the selling of parking permits without being

able to provide spaces is just that.

“It must be illegal," he said,
"because that's what were do-
ing, selling something that
doesn't exist. "

Mr. Hutchinson's remark was
made in reference to the 41 per-
cent overselling of parking per-
nnits this year. Faculty are
charged in the neighborhood of
$3 a month or $36 a year for a
parking pemnit.

Mr. Hutchinson. who heads
‘the President's Advisory Com-
mittee on Parking and Traffic
Control, said that “lack of cen-
tralized parking space is our big-
gest problem."

3 New Lots

Three new lots have been
built around the Scott Street
area and ten more are under
consideration, he said.

”We‘can add open area onthe
periphery of campus until we
tum blue, but that's not going
to solve the problem," he em-
phasized.

One possible solution may lie
in the use of parking towers,
which the University has sched-
uled for constmction. "But who
knows if these will be adequate
in 30 or 40 years," Mr. Hutchin-
son said.

Parking tower No. 1, located
off University Drive near the

Complex and Medical Center,
and Parking tower No. 3 located
at the old Sigma Nu fraternity
house site, are scheduled for com-
pletion in 1968.

Lawsuit Involved

Construction of the second
tower, to be located between
Clifton and Hilltop Avenues, is
presently tied up in a lawsuit
involving the City of Lexington,
the Board of Trustees and the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. The
tower was scheduled for complet-
ion in 1968.

Details on the parking stmc-
tures are not definite. R. E. Sha-
ver, director of the physical plant
division, said the Boone Alley
building will hold “about 540
cars."

The four-level garages are de-
signed to park from 135 to 140
cars per level, with telephone
switching equipment to be in-
stalled on the lowest level.

Mr. Hutchinson defined a
parking system as a “framework
of parking possibilities by which
all the needs of the University
are served.”

Parking meters were offered
as another possible solution, he
said, but even this is inadequate.

Minnesota Protesters

Disrupt Dow Recruiter

Collegiate Press Service

Protests followed Dow Chemical Company recmiters from Wis-

consin to Minnesota today.

About 40 demonstrators today
clogged the entrance of the Uni-
versity of Minnesota placement
ofiice protesting the presence of
at Dow recruiter on the campus.
Dow nnanufactures the napalm
used by American forces in Viet-
nam.

The demonstrators staged a
sit-in at the liberal arts place-
ment office and prevented job
interviewees from entering the
office. Interviews had to be con-
ducted elsewhere at one point
when theplacement director left
his desk and was denied read-
mission by the protesters.

University police and admin-
istrators looked on but no efiort
was made to remove the students
tonight. About 2) students re
mained in the ofiice and said
they planned to remain all night
on a hunger strike until Thurs-
day when the Dow recruiter is
scheduled to leave the campus.

Avoid Police Action

The protest was organized by
the campus committee to end the
war in Vietnam. The administra-
tion was anxious to avoid the
nnass police action which oc-
curred last week a ,the Univer-
sity of WiSco‘nsin‘ ahd the sanne
time protect students who were
interested in interviewing with
the Dow recruiter.

At Wisconsin 65 protesters
were injured and 13 leaders were
expelled after the school’s chan-
cellor called in local police.

The Minnesota demonstrators
said they had not known of Dow’s
presence on the campus until Uni-
versity President Malcolm Moos
nnade the comment at a press con-
ference last Friday that he was
expecting protests to mark the
recruiter‘s visit.

Dow was on the campus last
week but went unnoticed.

Consultation On Demonstrations

The university administration
last night started consultation
with faculty and students in an
effort to develop a broad-based
university policy on the impli-
cations of such demonstrations.
The meeting, which started with
the approval of President Moos,
will consider the institutional

policy implication of student pro-
tests, the, interference with the
rights of sOme students that result
from student demonstrations, and
protecting the process of orderly
dissent.

Ban SDS
Rep. Urges

WASHINGTON (CPS)—One
United States congressman
thinks the federal government
should deny funds to any college
or university which permits Stu-
dents for a Democratic Society
to have an organized chapter on
its campus.

”SDS has been infiltrated by
the Commnnists, and therefore
I think all colleges throughout
the United States should ban
SDS from their campuses,” says
Rep. Joe Pool, (D-Tex.).

Pool, a member of the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities (HUAC), said he is cur-
rently investigating SDS, but he
has not decided if he will intro-
duce legislation irn Congress con-
cerning the student organization.

However, be strongly believes
Congress should st0p giving fed-
eral money to colleges which
have SDS chapters. ”Why should
Congress fumish money to any
organization or institution that
is fostering disloyal and unpatri-
otic acts against the United
States?” Pool asked. He said
college administrations, by mere
ly pernnitting SDS on their cann-
puses, are showing their approval
and in a small way promoting
the goals of the organization.

Pool said he is opposed to
SDS because its members are
"trying to destroy our national
security by getting rid of the
draft—they are sabotaging our
war effort."

SDS members are “inform-
ing our young people of both
legal and illegal ways to avoid
the draft," the congressnmn said.
“They may not be breaking the
law themselves because of the
First Amendment, but they are
getting other people to break
the law."

Students Find Power An Elusive Commodity

By WILLIAM GRANT

In the early 1%0s, University admin-
istrators were telling incoming students
that at UK students had a significant
say in making decisions becausethey were
represented on all faculty committees.

Somehow, at the time, that seemed a
very significant fact. .-

It seemed significant despite the fact
that in every Student Covemment elec-
tion the candidates bemoaned the high
absenteeism of student committeemern.

These comnnittee posts were signifi-
cant, students were told, becausethe Uni-
versity was one of the few schools where
students were granted even this much of
an opportunity to engage in campuswide
decision-making.

Though that was but seven years ago,
vast changes have swept across higher
education and seeing students on faculty

committees is no longer strange. In fact,
for the student leaders of the late 19603,
committee membership is but tokenism
and they demand more.

Ed Schwartz, the new president of the
National Student Association, states it
bluntly: ”It should be clear—student po-
wer means not simply the ability to in-
fluence decision but the ability to make
decisions."

Not The Elite

He adds, “The days when students——
hand-picked by the administration — could

News Analysis

sit on policy committees for seven months,
only to endorse a report having little to
do with student demands, should end.
Student power involves the organizing of

 

 

all the students, nOt just the elite; it
involves the participation of all students
in decision-making.”

Specifically, he suggests, ”Students
should make the mles goveming dormitory
hours, student unions, student fees, clubs,
newspapers and the like. Faculty and ad-
ministrators should advise—attempt to
persuade, even. But the burden of choice
should be the students'. They should de—
nnand the burden."

Berkeley is the symbol of what has
happened in the relatively few years since
UK was one of the schools that allowed
students on committees.

The Berkeley campus of the University
of California was not the only place an
educational revolution broke out in the
605, but it was the most publicized be-
cause of the scale of the demonstrations
and riots there. Partially becausethe rules

at Berkeley were extraordinarily strict
and partially because its students were
nnore vocal and active, the Berkeley cann-
pus attracted the national eye as a place
where students were demanding power.

Administrative Kneejerk

The reaction of many administrators
and political leaders was the kneejerk
“we'll not turn the mnning of our schools
over to students."

But the revolution had happened. In
partial recognition of this fact, the Ameri-
can Council on Education, the nnost in-
fluential higher education group, devoted
its next conference to the role of the
student in higher education for the first
time in its history.

Since then, no educational conference

He Didn’t Like ‘What Home Ec 7
Was Doing To The University’

The bomb scare that resulted
in F riday's cancellation of all
classes in the Home Economics
Building was one of the crank
calls that “happen a lot around
exam time," according to F. C.
Dempsey, Director of the Safety
and Security Department on cam-
pus.
Col. Dempsey said the calls
most frequently concern the
Chemistry-Physics Building, but
that the building is not emptied
because of the large number of
people in the building at most
times.

A secretary in the Home Eco-
nomics Building took the bomb
call at her desk and heard a
gruff male voice, she said. The
secretary then called University
police who were on the scene in
”two or three minutes."

The building was then emp-
tied. Even though nothing was
found in the building resembling
a bomb, classes were cancelled
the rest of the day.

Col. Dempseysaid there were
two calculus rnid-terms sched-
uled for that afternoon in the

‘Rebellion’ Talks “Featured

A series of discussions, headed by the Rev. Christopher Mercier,
C.P., is being sponsored by the Newman Center. Meetings will run

through Thursday.

The overall topic of the dis-
cussions is ”Rebellion in the
Church," with each night’stopic
being in some way related to the
central theme. Father Mercier,
who is now working on the Col-
lege Seminar Weekend Program

in the Cincinnati-Louisville-
Nashville areas, is also available
for personal counseling.

The discussions, which are
open to the public, are intended
to provide ”introspection, a time
of reviewing and renewing one's

faith."

on what the demonstrators wanted to accom—
plish, both agreeing that we shouldn’t be in
Vietnam.

There was no anger.
fiery words or unyielding demands. The pro—,
testor made a special effort to drive across
town to the parkway where the soldier could
hitch a ride to get back to post on time.

Some 24 hours earlier that protestor stood
on the Pentagon porch watching U.S. mar-
shals flay students with night sticks. They
beat. The television lights came on, and the
marshals stopped. Off went the lights and the
headcracking began again. And again.

Until well past midnight the protestors
stayed en masse. Next morning a few hun-
dred stragglers remained.

What did they accomplish, the CI asked.
The protestor could not answer clearly.

By analogy he could ask what the Civil
Rights March in the summer of 1964 accom-
plished. One could only answer by saying
it was a clear demonstration of citizens all
over the nation that they were no longer con-
tent to let blatant racial inequities continue.

One could say the ’64 March was a peak
moment in American racial history. That it

was crucial to the future direction of the nation. 5

.But whether one could say the same thing
of Saturday's Mobilization is questionable. Cer-
tainly there was commitment to the anti-war
cause, and certainly it transcended age groups
to the extent that housewives, grandmothers,
and veterans joined the college age people.

Some came only to march in symbolic pro-
test while others were bent on actually stop-
ping “the war machine” in the Pentagon. The
first group were at least partially successful;
the latter ones had hardly any success at all,
for though it was expensive and inconvenient,
the Pentagon worked on through the day.

If President Lyndon Johnson’s remarks Mon-
day are any indication, then even the symbolic
victory is questionable, for he apparently re-
sponded only with his special kind of patriotic
anger. At the same time it’s hard to tell how
many of the demonstrators were merely on an

Indian summer pilgrimage to get on the anti-
war bandwagon. One suspects that there were
far more of them than the committed idealists
would like to admit.

Not that many of the marchers were hypo-
critical, but rather that a vague sympathy
with the protest became attached to curiosity
and a desire to be a part of one of history's
memorable events.

That sort of curiosity doesn’t deserve dam-
nation, but it is dismaying. It must have been
dismaying to those protestors who had thought
long and hard about their commitment, who

knew why they were there, and who desperate-
ly wanted to communicate that knowledge.

Dismaying in the same way that Pentagon
denials of using riot gas are dismaying or that
similar falsification of the numbers of pro-
testors there is dismaying. Because what that
really indicates is an inability to communicate,
even a little, to the policy makers and generals
who stood atop the Pentagon and grinned down
on‘the dissenters below.

It is as poignant as a young gi reaching

a handful of flowers up toa soldier boy her own
age, separated by a uniform. And his refusal.

 

 

  

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 1967—— 5

Students Find Power An Elusive Commodity

Continued From Page 1

has seemed complete without dis-
cussions of how students are tobe
incorporated into the decision-
making process.

All of this, of course, is his-
tory. Another part of that his-
tory is the number of schools
that have made dramatic steps
in granting students real power.
At Swarthmore, for example, stu—
dents sit as equals with faculty
members in making decisions on
admissions, regulations and other
educational policies.

It seems fair to say that the
University has remained some—
thing of an island in this ed-
ucational storm. The revolution
has not happened here.

At UK, a fraction of the stu-
dents—34—represent nearly 15,-
(XX) on but a fraction of the com-
mittees—ll.

Yet this is the single most
influential role students play in
‘making University policy and
there is some question if even
in this limited way students have
any influence at all.

Studmts Equal?

Students are appointed to 10
of the committees by President
Oswald on the recommendation
of the presidait of Student Gov-
ernment. Until this year they
have been appointed tothe 11th—
the Student Publications Board—
by the president on the recom-
mendation of a screening com
mittee that includes Vice Presi-
dent for Student Affairs Robert
Johnson and several campus of-
ficers. Next year they will be
drawn from University Senate
recommendations.

Without doubt the most po-
tentially significant committeeon
which students serve is the Stu;

dent Affairs Committee of the,

University Senate. Four students
were members of the committee
during the critical period while
the group was drafting the Stu-
dent Rights Code which went in-
to effect this fall.

In a series of interviews in
the past two weeks, faculty mem-
bers of that committee were asked
to assess the work of the student

members. Whle one faculty mem-
ber said flatly that "students ser-
ved on the committee as equals,"
there was throughout the discus-
sions the implication that they
did not.

The consensus was that the
students served in primarily an
”information" function. As one
associate professor put it, ”here
was an area they (the students)
knew something about. They
were able to give us a good
deal of information about what
students were thinking and about
which of the present rules—like
the drinking regulation—werebe—
ing laughed at."

Student Attendance Sketchy

All of the committee mem-
bers interviewed remember some
student influence at certain
points of the discussion. Speci-
fically, one professor recalls Sher-
yl Snyder s constant support of

a policy statement that would
not allow members of the Student
Affairs staff to contact the par-
ents of students over 18 without
the student's permission. That
was perhaps the hardest fought

int in the code and it was
eventually adopted by the Sen-
ate only to be finally rejected
by the Board of Trustees.

Nevertheless, Snyder did exert
considerable influence on the
committee and later on the Sen-
ate during the discussions on
this point.

However, committee members
also agree that they can recall
only two of the four student
members having attended a ma-
jority of the meetings. Still, a
faculty member noted, the “stu—
dents put in about as much work
as the average faculty member
of a Senate committee."

That point is hard to evaluate,
however, in light of the many
times the Senate has criticized
its own committee structure.

Students have no representa-
tion on the Board of Trustees
although there are two non-vot-
ing faculty members and numer-
ous political constituencies in
