'We're Learning To Run

By TERRY DUNHAM
Assistant Managing Editor
Barry Ogilby and other members of OZIQ, the organization
proposing changes in the Kernel and the Board of Publications, have talked to legislators,
alumni, and Board of Trustee
members. On the basis of these
talks, Ogilby believes the OZIQ
recommendations would be accepted today if submitted to the
Board of Trustees with substantial student support.
But he says the group will
not submit its recommendations
to the Trustees until it has greater support.
One of the indicators of student interest being studied by
OZIQ, Ogilby, president of the
Interfratemity Council, says, is
response to the petition circulated earlier this semester.
So far, Ogilby says, 15 to 20
percent of the petitions have been
returned to him, containing "between 2,000 and 2,200 signa-

tures."

The other petitions are being
collected by other OZIQ mem

bers, and no figures are yet available on the number of persons
who have signed them.
Not At Face Value
Still, he does not accept the
totals purely at face value.
"I know they don't reflect
the number of people who agree
completely with our recommendations, but just those who agree
that they are 'dissatisfied with
Kernel policy." The petition, he
says, is "intentionally ambiguous, because it's just a general
measure for our own informa-

tion."
Another of OZIQ's actions
was also for its own information.
That was the initial public meeting, at which Ogilby acknowledged his membership in OZIQ
and revealed the recommendations of the group. Prior to the
meeting, the petitions had been
circulated anonymously.
"My biggest complaint," Ogilby says, "is inaccuracies in the
Kernel.
"The OZIQ meeting we had'

Blacks Awakening To Black Pride

Kernel Staff Writer
"All during history the Black
has crawled, then he began to
walk. Now we're learning to

run."

This comment was made by
Michael Bernard, freshman and

member of the Black Student
Union, as he spoke before a
meeting of Foci YVednesday.
Referring to the present day
as the "Renaissance of Blackism"
he said that the Black is going
through a period of "awakening

of black pride. The Black is
becoming aware of the fact that
we are not inferior."
He views the riots as "making

are here to help change this
image."
Two of the main objections
the Blacks have concerning UK
are its association with Dixie and
the way Blacks in general are
treated here.
To illustrate this he told of
a black teacher at Central High
School in Louisville who was
participating in a summer program here. She was in the Student Union grill and as she got
up to leave a group of white
students began singing Dixie.
They continued until she had
left the grill.
"This is supposed to be one
nation," Kennedy said. "We
want to see it that. We didn't
ask to come here. We were
brought here and we deserve the
same rights as everyone else has.
My father died last week and I
feel he didn't get what he should

have from this nation. I want
to see that my kids get it, whether
I do or not."
"You say we have done
nothing?" Kennedy continued.
"We pay taxes for this university the same as everyone."
Kennedy gave several reasons
for more Blacks not coming to
UK. One of the main reasons is
the lack of black athletes. Another
reasons is that students want to
have a good social atmosphere.
The black students don't have it
here, according to Kennedy.
Other topics Kennedy discussed were:
Discrimination in the classroom "Although I haven't experienced this myself, some black
students say they have teachers
who speak of Blacks in general
as a degraded race. Others have

curacy, and we got very fair
coverage."
The major recommendations
made by OZIQ were:
the present
Restructuring
Board of Publications into a thirteen member board, including six
elected student members; the
of student affairs
and university relations; three
a profaculty members-at-largfessional journalist, and a member of the alumni association.
Election of the Kernel editor by a vote of the student
body. Candidates would be narrowed to a field of five by the
restructured publications board.
Creation of a
editorial board, to supervise writing of editorials. These students
would have a diversity of attitudes and viewpoints.
Ogilby says he doesn't consider the proposals "drastic
e,

five-stude- nt

changes."
"How many people are going
to know about each of the editorial candidates' qualifications
anyway?" he says. "I wouldn't

object if a dozen people applied,
and the five who passed through
the screening process were the
same five who applied for the
job last year." All are now on
the Kernel editorial staff. "It
would still help the current situation in two ways," he believes:
"First, it would make students more aware of the Kernel
and how it operates.
"Second, if students have a
part in the selection, it will cut
down on their bitching.
"Most students have no idea
how the editors are picked," he
says. "I think we've really been
poorly informed about it, and
that's one reason why there are
so many complaints.
"A lot of the students don't
have real good reasons for their
dislike for the Kernel, but that's
not the case for all of them,"
he says.

The Miller Band Scores
SAILOR, by The Steve Miller
Band, Capitol Records
By R. L. LAWRENCE
Loneliness, irony, and a general "awareness" pervade Sailor, the
latest album from The Steve Miller Band. Although Sailor is a
slight letdown from Children Of The Future (the group's first
album), it nevertheless assures us that Miller who produces himself and handles much of the studio engineering is a musician
and not a one-shput on.

Still, Ogilby points out, "I'm
not out to make it easy for the
administration to manhandle the
paper, and I don't think editorials should necessarily reflect
the views of the student body.
"The thing that pulled me into
it (OZIQ) was the desire to get
the bitching to stop. We want
to see how much the student
body really cares. Right now,
I'm not exactly sure personally
what should be done."
And, he says, "I want to be:
damn well sure personally that
I'm doing the right thing before
it's taken before the Board. I'm
not yet ready to take it to the
Board. I'm not sure enough yet."
He says he wants it to be an
improvement, not just a handy
solution adopted just because it's
available.
"Maybe it will be taken to the
Board over my objections," he
says, "or maybe it will go to the
Board with my approval. But not

Avoiding Chaos

on an electoral deadlock has made plain the
The nation's near-mis- s
need for Congressional action to rule out more such flirtation with
disaster in Presidential elections. Both Senator Bayh of Indiana and
Representative Celler of New York plan hearings on electoral reform;
democracy will be the gainer if no paralysis of will impedes action by
their Congressional colleagues when a reform plan is presented.
The shift of a relative handful of votes in Illinois and Missouri
last week would have put those states in the Humphrey column and
Nixon the Electoral College majority he now
thus denied President-elec- t
clearly has. In such a deadlock, the power of picking a President
Americans who went
might well have been shifted from the
candidate
to the polls to one man George C. Wallace. The third-part- y
had enacted from all his electors a swom commitment to vote for him
"or for the candidate he shall direct."
But even if Mr. Wallace proved unsuccessful in his kingmaker role
and the decision went to the House of Representatives, a period of
confusion and cynical political maneuvering almost surely would have
ensued before the country knew who its President would be.
Under the Constitution, each state would have but one vote in the
Presidential balloting in the House. How that vote would be cast
would be decided by a majority of each state's delegation. Had an
electoral deadlock thrown that responsibility into the new House,
maximum uncertainty would have clouded the outcome.
state votes are needed to elect a President. The DemoTwenty-si- x
crats would start with clear control of only21 delegations. The Republicans control nineteen. Five delegations are evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, and a crucial five are nominally Democratic
but from states which went to Mr. Wallace. Many Southern Congressmenespecially incumbent Democrats promised their constituents
that, if the decision fell to them, they would vote for the Presidential
candidate who carried their district, regardless of party label.
The potentialities for chaos that existed this year in both Electoral
College and House plus the virtual certainty that a deadlock would
have made the Presidency a commodity for political barter should be
all the evidence Americans need that no similar risks must be run
again. The answer lies in a system that will guarantee the right of the
people to choose their own Chief Executive, not rely on the roulette
wheel that the present electoral system has become.

"De way to win de
game,"
Mouth said in his interview, "is to give
de ball to Lamins more often."
"Dat Broadshow," he continued, "is
a no good creep. He should give de ball
to Lamins more."
Mouth is outspoken in his criticism
of the entire Kentucky squad. "Dey's
all a bunch of creeps. Dey should give
deball to Lamins more."
Lamins, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury, was somewhat dismayed with
this prospect. "Can't somebody else take
the damn thing just once," he muttered.
To this, Mouth replied, "De boy's
just modest. Dey should give him de

We got to get the foo-bamore often, and we can't do that with

Mouth discounts his own dedication
to UK athletics with characteristic modesty. "Yeah, I like to watch tie foo-baall right," he demurs, "and I try to do

Special To The Kernel
NEW YORK In a copywrited interview in the magazine Athletic Supporters
Illustrated, Al Mouth, president of the
University of Kentucky Athletic Supporters, voiced his opinion of recent activities on the UK sports scene.
The interview, which is contained in
the issue to appear on the newsstands
this week, was conducted in Mouth's
home in Beaver Lick, Kentucky. Loyal
Kentucky fans may remember Mouth as
the defensive halfback wlto almost broke
Turkey Hughes' record for the longest
nmback of an intercepted pass when lie
in the 1937 classic with Panhandle A fit
M picket! off a stray toss eight yards
deep in the end zone and returned it
107 yards to the A fit M
At that xint the ball popped from his
grasp and was seized in the end zone
by a forgotten A fit M stalwart who set
a new record by returning a recovered
fumble 10G yards for a touchdown.
Because of his great effort in this
game Mouth has since been head of the
Athletic Supiorters at UK. As such he
has
one of the most outsoken
detractors of Head Q)ach Charlie Broad-sltoand one of the most articulate
backers of star tailback Dicky lamins.

important."

do not agree with
Mouth's
all his modesty, however. Last year, in
recognition of his efforts, he was honored
with a banquet. He was also presented
with the greatest award that a UK Athletic Supporter can receive, the Cold
Athletic Supporter Cup.

Kernel Forum: the readers write!
To the Editor of the Kernel
In recent weeks the Kernel has been
the subject of much heated debate. Opponents of the Kernel contend that campus organizations such as CARSA, BSU,
SDS, and the like are
in the paper. These students have begun
a petition demanding that the Kernel
revise its policies by representing the
student body more "effectively." Through
lengthy consideration, we seriously question the validity of these student arguments.
It has been common knowledge
throughout history that newspapers have
been a catalyst for change. The "Federalist Papers," although apparently
against the majority, certainly contributed
to the ratification of the Constitution.
A more recent example would be the
liberal Czechoslovak newspapers wliich
promoted the cause of individual freedom in Czechoslovakia. Originally these
papers were not a parrot of the majority. It is only natural that newspapers
have the right to speak the opinions
of the editors, and the Kernel, although
on a much smaller scale, is no exception.
Those who would like to see the Kernel
editorials revised would actually prefer
that the newspaper be reduced from the
level of a newspaper to a high school
newsheet. We therefore defend the Kernel
as a newspaper and think it only necessary that its editorials be given the
right to exist.
Perhaps the editorials are not the focal
point of debate, but that the amount
of coverage alloted to minority activities
is in excess of what it should be. If
one observes the matter closely, he will
find that there is no basis for an argument here whatsoever. Does the majority take action (on this campus) to attain its goals? No. The ineffective UK
Student Government serves as a prime
example. Another example is the "Dixie"
issue in which proponents of the "Dixie"
cause have taken no significant action.
It is quite ironic that the majority should
request the Kernel staff to report on
nothing at all.
Perhaps our defense of the Kernel
could be more fully understood by reviewing a vital characteristic found in
all democracies: majority rule with consideration of minority rights. Previously
on this campus it lias been majority
rule without consideration of the minority's rights. The Kernel must be complimented for having the courage to stand
up and speak the views of the minority
for it appears this is the only way the

majority will have the opportunity to
hear them, worse yet, listen.
In conclusion, we cannot understand
how the Kernel can be criticized as a
newspaper. Should it fail to report on
significant actions of the majority then
it may be validly criticized. However,
until the majority takes action, criticism
is not valid on the subject matter of the
Kernel and after (if ever) the Kernel
should be guaranteed its right to function
as a newspaper, not merely as a parrot
of apathy, and its editorial views must
be guaranteed the right to exist.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
I would like to respond to a portion of
Trustee A.B. Chandler's letter that appeared in one of last week's Kernels.
1 was
present when Mr. Chandler spoke
at the College of Law. I do not recall
that those in the audience were asked
specifically whether they supported the
Kernel. Hence, I find his statement that
no one present on that occasion supports
the Kernel a little disconcerting. He may
have drawn that conclusion from the
fact that the majority of those present
applauded lustily whenever he made a
de
