Hammer And Sickle Is On Venus;
Planet ‘HotEnough To Melt Metal’

MOSCOW (AP)—The Soviet
Union achieved another historic
space break-through Wednesday
by dropping on Venus instru-
ments that radioed back the first
information ever received from
that planet’s surface. The data
indicated Venus’ temperature
was hot enough to melt metal.

US. space leaders, awaiting
Thursday's flyby of Venus by
the American Mariner 5 space-
craft, called the Soviet landing
of an instrument package on the
cloud-shrouded planet “an ac-
complishment any nation can
be proud of."

One U.S: expekt said the per-
formance of Venus 4 “indicates
the Soviets have a much larger
planetary program than we
have. This is not just a stunt.
This is a solid sophisticated
scientific achievement."

The reaction came from Dr.
Bruce Murray, assistant profes-
sor of planetary sciences at the
California Institute of Tech-
nology and a member of the
team which investigated findings
of a US. spacecraft which flew
by Mars in 1965.

Carbon Dioxide Make-Up

The information relayed to
earth showed Venus' atmo-
sphere to be extremely hot-up

130536 degreesFahrenheit—and,

made up almost entirely of car-
bon dioxide, which the earth's
living creatmes cannot breathe.

The feat with the unmanned
Venus 4 spaceship was a big
prestige boost for the Soviet
space program, which had suf-
fered‘a tiagic setback April 24
when cosmonaut Vladimir M.
Kornarov was killed in the crash
of Soyuz 1.

It was also a big leap forward
for the Soviet Union in the space
race with the United States.

Official announcement de-
scribed the Venus 4 flight this

way:

Launched June 12

The spaceship, launched june
12, reached the atmosphere of
the planet—50 million miles
away—at 12:34 a.m., EDT,
Wednesday and released its in-
struments in a separate pack-
ag .

This braked itself, then put
out a parachute. For the next 90
minutes it floated down the 15
miles toward Venus' surface,
sending back data through radio
signals.

The temperature rose from
104 degrees Fahrenheit at the
start of the descent to five times
that at the end. Pressure rose to
15 times that on the earth.

Air Companies Sued

For April Death Flight

Lexington Air Taxi, Inc. and Piedmont Aviation, Inc. were

charged with “negligence .

. . in furnishing an unsafe airplane"

in a $1.4 million suit filed Wednesday by Mrs. Jean Waters Cohn

and Mrs. Ana Maria Navarro.

Mrs. Navarro is the widow
of Dr. Silvio O. Navarro, and
Mrs. Cohn is the widow of Dr.
jerome E. Cohn. Both men
were among nine killed April 3,
1987, in a crash of a twin-
engine Beechcraft. Dr. Navarro
was chairman of the Univer-
sity's Department of Computer
Science and Dr. Cohn was a
professor of medicine at the
University.

The aircraft was chartered

from Lexington Air Taxi by
Piedmont Airlines to take the

men to Louisville to meet an-
other flight.

In the complaint filed in Fa-
yette circuit court, the de-
fendants claim that the “(n-ash
oftheBeecthBwasthere—
sult of negligence oh the part
of (the) defendants, . . . in
furnishing an unsafe airplane or
in the maintenance, loading,
and operation of the airplane."

Each plaintiff claims loss of
earning power by their husbands
for $700,000, phis funeral ex-
penses.

The Iodrell Bank Observatory
in England picked up signals
from Venus 4 throughout the de-
scent period but nothing since.
This indicated that perhaps the
impact of the landing or the
heat put the instruments out of
operation.

But the special Moscow radio
report which told the world of
the space success said that a
soft landing had been achieved.

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

Vol. LIX, No. 38

Matthews Sues
UK Research Unit

By DICK KIMMINS

Attorney General Robert Mat-
thews claimed that the acquisi-
tion of Maine Chance Farm by
the UK Research Foundation
was “unlawful and improper”
and “outside the scope and
power vested in the foundation”

in filing a suit to block the land,

transaction Wednesday.

Named as defendants in the
Fayette circuit court suit were
the University's Research Foun-
dation, the First Security Na-
tional Bank and Trust Company,
the Commonwealth Life In-
surance Company, Elizabeth
Arden, Inc. and Edward M.
Maher.

It was to Mr. Maher, a
lawyer, that the Arden firm con-
veyed the title for Maine
Chance, and he in turn con-
veyed the title to the founda-
tion. The bank took a mortgage
on the property and sublet part
of it to the insurance company.

In essence, Mr. Matthews
contends that the foundation
wrongfully withheld money be-
longing to the University. He
stated that the foundation has
mortgaged the farm although
the University is prohibited by
Kentucky statutes from mort-
gaging property.

‘Illegal Corporation’

Earlier, Mr.
that the “(University) Research
F Oundation was doing ‘for the
University what the University
can't do for itself.”' He stated
that the UK Research Founda-
tion was an "illegal corpora-
tion."

Matthews said ‘

In his complaint, Mr. Mat—
thews said the Foundations’
actions were contrary to its
charter, and that they render
the contract void and unen-
forceable.

Mr. Matthews demands that:

e The foundation account for
all monies coming into its hands.

a An injunction restrain and
prohibit the founadtion from
further expanding funds belong-
ing to the University.

0 That the deed to Maine
Chance be declared null, void
and of no force and effect.

University officials were un-
available for comment on the
suit.

UK trustees Tuesday author-
ized the conversion of Maine
Chance Farm, for which they
offered $2 million, into an agri-
cultural research center.

Mr. Matthews announced last
week he intended to file suit to
block the sale. The attorney gen-
eral is charged by state law to
oversee expenditures of founda-
tions such as the Research
Foundation at UK.

This is the second suit filed
in connection with the Maine
C h a n c e purchase. California
horseman Rex Ellsworth and
Dr. Arnold Pessin, a Lexington
veterinarian, filed suit in US.
District Court Aug. 14.

Mr. Ellsworth and Dr. Pessin
have asked $30 million in dam-
ages, charging that the Univer-
sity and Keeneland Association
conspired to keep them from
buying the farm.

Beaten, Bloody Protesters Jailed
In University Of Wisconsin Melee

UPI-CPS Dispatches

Police broke up sit-ins by
anti-Vietnam war and antidraft
demonsu'ators Wednesday at
the University of Wisconsin and
an Oakland, Calif, induction
center.

About 65 persons were in-
jured at Madison, Wis, when
police waded into 150 arm-
locked sit-inners in the Com-
merce Building on the univer-
sity campus. A few protesters
were arrested. ,

At Oakland, flying-wedges of
helmeted police swept through
an estimated 2,500 chanting
demonstrators. Sixty-five per-
sons, including five juveniles,
were taken into custody, boost-
ing the three-day arrest total
at the Northern California in-
duction center to 212.

The outbreaks punctuated the
third day of a scheduled week-
long nationwide round of pro-
tests against the war and the
draft.

At a night rally 8-10,000
University of Wisconsin stu-
dents constituted themselves as
the oornmittee on student rights
and called for a strike against
the university.

About 300 faculty members
ringed the students, as if to
say that police who want to
attack the students again will
have to go through the faculty,
and one faculty member said
:1; faculty strike was also pos-

le.

There were demonstrations
at several other cities — includ-
ing Chicago, Los Angeles and
Buffalo, N.Y.—but none erupted
into violence like those at Madi-
son and Oakland.

The University of Wisconsin
sit-in was a protest against job
interviews by representatives of
Dow Chemical Co., maker of
napalm for the Vietnam war.
A Dow spokesman said that
despite the outbreak, company
recruiters had no plans to leave
the campus.

"We feel making napalm for
the government is our duty,”
the spokesman said.

Students Bloodied

Students were led from the
building with blood streaming

 

    

from their heads after police
moved in on them when they
balked at leaving peacefully.

Many students fought back,
pummeling police with their
fists and tossing rocks, shoes and
other objects at the officers.
Police retaliated with tear gas
that kept the crowd at bay.

Oakland protest leaders in-
structed pickets in advance to
fall back to avoid a repetition
of Tuesday's eruption when
police used billy clubs and fired
tear gas and were assaulted in
turn by chunks of concrete.

A few of the sit-ins at Oak-
land were carried to police vans
Wednesday after they went
limp. A few pickets burned

what they said were their draft
cards.

Computer Draws Snoopy

To the delight of some 50 University students, the campus Com-
puting Center went to the dogs Wednesday night. In a demon—
stration of the computer's speed in printing out information,
Snoopy drawings began rolling from the printer at the clip of
ten a minute. The students were on a tour of the center spon-
sored by the UK Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

Registrar Has

New Scheme

For Winter

The Registrar's Office has
come up with a new plan to
help reduce errors during reg-
istration, according to Ray Cum-
berledge, associate registrar.

There has been in the past
an IBM card for each class
taken by a student. Handling
the cards has been the cause of
many errors. Mr. Cumberledge

‘ said.

Next semester, instead of one
course per card, four courses
will be punched on one card.
This will reduce the number of

'cards and hopefully reduce the

number of errors.

"We are trying to give every
student what he wants," re-
marked Mr. Cumberledge," and
at the same time trying to
eliminate errors "

 And Remember, Don’t Bend Over

 

Miniskirt-Wearer Confesses

By RENEE BIRCH

This morning, as I walkqi
out the front door, Mom yelled
out her usual daily advice, "And
remember: Don’t bend over!"

Don't bend over! That might
sound like a lunatic statement,
but to most miniskirt wearers
(like myself) it’s something worth
remembering. The skirt is high
enough as it is, bending over
can cause it to go to catastro-
phic heights.

There are other words of wis-
don every miniskirt wearer has
heard. From Father, “If you turn
that hem up one stitch more,
I’ll tan your hide for the first
time in eighteen years!"

If he hasn’t spanked you once
in all that time, you have noth-
ing to worry about from him.

Boyfriends are another prob-
lem; their usual comment: "It's
fine to wear that thing when
you’re just around me, but don’t
let me catch you wearing it to
classes!" A devoted miniskirt
wearer will put up an argument
to that one, like ”I won’t wear
them, if you won’t look at them."

But friends and relatives are
the least troublesome of a mini-
skirt wearer's problems. Winter
weather is one of the biggest
enemies a girl can have. Blue
knees just aren’t in style this
year. And even though you’re the
center of attraction when the
winds blowing, it doesn’t give a
feeling of comfort and security.
But the dedicated fashion plate
never gives up; she can just buy a
pflr of thigh-high boots or woolen
tights (long flannel underwear
has the same effect).

Another problem isn't quite
as easily overcome. Try standing
at a bus stop, wearing a mini-
skirt (providing you’re a girl),
for any length of time. The whis-
ties and stares from passing cars
are bad enough, but ineviatably
the campus wolf packs begin to
prowl.

A feeling of unease creeps in-
to the heart of the miniskirt
wearer as she casually glances up
the street for the bus every two
seconds. Knowing the trusty bus
system, she's forced to set up a
defense for the next hour with

the “beggar pose," so far the
only known defense for girls not
adopt at karate.

She greets the wolf pack with
a tear-streaked face, a ragged
scarf carried just for such emer-
gencies, an outstretched palm
and a plaintive cry, “Anybody
got a dime?”

The wearer of the miniskirt
isn't the only one who has prob-
lems, as can be easily observed
in any classroom. The guy who
sits next to her in class should
be pitied. His grades drop.

There’s also considerable dis-
traction if the teacher happens
to be male and the miniskirt
owner sits in the front row. And
then there’s always the girl with
the micro-miniskirt who strolls
into class ten minutes late, tum-
ing all male eyes in her direction
and all female eyes green. _

But the biggest worry of the
many miniskirt owners is all in
one panic-stricken question,
”What am I going to do if hems
drop next year?” It would be
less of a tragedy if the stock
market dropped.

UK PROFS STUDY IN EUROPE

By JILL BUFFNEB

Three University of Kentucky
history professors studied in Eur-
ope this past summer, sponsored
by Kentucky Research Faculty
Grants. The professors are Dr.
Donald Nugent, Dr. Glen W.
Swanson and Dr. joseph Thomp-
son.
There are close to 100 of these
grants, which are designed to help
young faculty members in work-
ing on research and publication.
The faculty members can be in
any field and they can use the
grants to go anywhere that their
work might take them.

The three professors, already
with their Ph.D's., worked on
post-doctoral study and with the
possibility of later publishing
their findings. To get to the
original source of needed infor-
mation, each professor studied

in the libraries and museums
that contain original artifacts and
records, books and objects of art.

Dr. Nugent, a professor of
European history, studied in
Paris for most of the summer,
although he did spend sometime
in the Vatican Archives in Rome.
He did his research in 16th cen-
tury French history, frequenting
the Bibliotheque Nationale Li-
brary and the Mazarine Library
for most of his resource material.

Dr. Nugent said the three-
month study also helped him
in his main project, that oftrans-
ferring his doctoral dissertation
into book form.

Dr. Swanson, a specialist on
the Turks of the Ottoman Em—
pire, spent his summer on..re-
search in libraries in Northern
Germany. His studies centered
around the military.

Before World War I, Turks
made military missions in this
area and there are many written
records on their tactics and wea-
pons kept in the libraries.

Dr. Thompson, a British his-
tory professor, traveled to Eng-
land to study in the British Mu-
seum in London and the Bod-
leian Library at Oxford. His re-
search efforts went into modem
British monarchy.

Commitmen‘tAgainst’Vietnam

DA former University student
has refused to be inducted into
the armed forces, choosing to face
possible imprisonment and fines
as an alternative.

I Four UK students have re-
turned their draft cards in protest
of the war.

b Twenty UK students plan to
leave Thursday to take part in the
National Mobilization to End the
War in Vietnam in Washington
Saturday.

Add it all up, and it equals
commitment.

In each case the protest against
American policy in Vietnam is the
clear commitment of mind and
body against a war which is il-
legal and unjust.

With the addition of each pro-
test case, it becomes ever more
clear that the protestors are not
a mere handful of radicals bent
on the overthrow of the United
States government. Increasingly
they are people like Mrs. Dagmar
Wilson, founder and leading Spokes-
man of Women Strike for Peace,
who recently visited North Viet-
nam, where she talked with an
American soldier reported miss-
ing, and saw a hospital which had
been bombed repeatedly in attacks
aimed at striking only military tar-
gets.

They are people who have ex-
amined their own values, beliefs,
and consciences and detemiined
that to cooperate with the draft
while opposing everything it sym-
bolizes would amount to blatant
hypocrisy. Whether one sympa-
thizes with the position of those
who refuse is of little importance;
what is noteworthy is the courage
which it takes to accept the conse-
quences when the opportunities
for evasion through deferment are
so great. For those consequences
are greater than a $10,000 fine or
five years imprisonment; the knowl-
edge of that decision and the stigma
attached to it will remain through-
out a lifetime.

To a degree there is evidence
of commitment against the war
at the University, where almost
40 percent of those responding to
a Kernel poll said they did not
generally favor US. policy in Viet-
nam. For while that represents
the minority opinion, it is suffi-
ciently large to demonstrate that
far more than the radical fringe
of this campus is dissatisfied.

There will be commitment this
Saturday when thousands of people

will come together to march, to
rally, and actually attempt to “sit
down inside the Pentagon and stop
it from working.” One thousand
busses have been arranged by the
Mobilization group to bring people

pie communities from New York,
San Francisco, and possibly Wash-

a religious ceremony to drive out
the evil. Each in his own way,
exercising his own beliefs, will be
there to commit himself against
the war effort.

It might as well be said that this
is the highest form of commitment,
not merely of words but of person.
It is the kind of commitment which
comes after the traditional means
of opposition appear unlikely to
succeed in the change of a bad
policy. It is the kind of commit-
ment which may be necessary to
convince the nation’s leaders of
the depth and gravity with which
their policies are opposed.

UK Grad Urges Orgena-CCHR Merger

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

There is one thing worse than apa-
thy—two floundering organizations pull-
ing opposite ways while trying to move
in the same direction. Such appears to
be the case with Orgena and CCHR.

Recently there has been some dis-
cussion on the part of both groups about
a possible merger, but apparently there
has been little or no action taken on the
matter. Such a move, would no doubt
alter some of the goals of each. How-
ever, I wish to raise this question to the
leaders and members of both groups:
Does not the end justify the means?
Would it not be better to try to unite
the two faltering camps into one com-
pany and then attack what will con—
tinue to remain a very omnipotent and
omnipresent foe?

Orgena was formed in the beginning
to try to supplement the almost non-
existent social life of the Negro students
at UK. As it presently stands Orgena
is not extending its membership to white
students. In one way this seems to be a
reaction to social rejection and in another
it is a salient form of Negro prejudice
towards whites.

CCHB was formed in 1964 in order
to try to improve human relations at UK,
especially between Negroes and whites.
It is now composed of what might becon-
sidered to be the most liberal whites on
campus. They wish to improve the social
situations there, but as individuals, how
many of them practice what they preach
in relationship to the Negro students of

campus? None of them improve condi—
tions if they seek to isolate themselves
with their fellow liberals and fail to try
to know any of the Negro students for
the individuals they are. Merely viewing
them as a group representing their
estranged object of social concern does
nothing but further alienate the group
they most wish to help.

The strengths of both groups can, in
part at least, be attributed to the leader-
ship by the two presidents, Bill Turner
(CCHR) and Ellis Bullock (Orgena). It is
possible that some of the current dis-
parity that exists between these two
groups can be the result of the rather
inharmonious relationships between the
two. My question to them: Are not your
common concerns greater than your com-
mon differences?

Whatever course of action is taken by
these groups either individually or col—
lectively, I urge them to keep in mind
that conditions are just now beginning
to change, but the real task lies ahead,
that of drawing the color sprectrum closer
together to form a more beautiful rain-
bow . . . a decent campus for allstudents.

How About ‘Mixers?’

I may be wrong, but it seems to me
that some type of social function could
be arranged on this campus where it is
appropriate for individuals (both boys and
girls) to attend by themselves in order
that they might make new friends with
the opposite sex.

It is the best opportunity of one's life
to meet people who have different back—
grounds. If these opportunities are wasted.
perhaps, one has missed something which
only comes once in a lifetime. Since most
social affairs, such as jam sessions, seem
to imply ”dates only" to the girls, pos-
sibly a ”mixer session" could be pre-
sented in the Student (Ieuter ballroom on
a Friday night. This would give people
an opportunity to become acquainted
with members of the opposite sex, and
it would not be considered inappropriate
for the girls to attend without a date.

Since some "mixers" have been pro-
posed (Complex Four and Holmes Hall)
between men‘s and women's residence
halls, why can't a general mixer be ar~
ranged for the whole campus? It seems to
me that the opportunities for meeting
people of the opposite sex are limited

because the campus does not havea social
affair which really promotes attendance
of both sexes individually. If a dance
can be discriminated (sic) where dates
only are permitted, why can't a similar
affair be arranged where only people with-
out a date may attend?

”Dates are not scarce;" the opportuni-
ties for meeting people to make them are
though.

Keep Senior Pictures

For the first time, it has come to my
attention that the 1968 Kentuckian possi-
bly will not contain individual pictures
of graduating seniors. Being a third year
law student, I do not have the time to
investigate this matter thoroughly before
writingthis letter. Ifthis "rumor" istrue,
I would appreciate an explanation from
the Kentuckian staff for its decision.

A yearbook or annual, although ofsome
use to the student while in college, hasits
greatest value as a source to correlate
names and faces in the years after being
graduated. This is especially true in the
professional colleges where your best con—
tacts are with those with whom you were
graduated.

Normally I am not among those who
demand that no decision be made with-
out inquiring into student opinion, but
this is an exception. If it is not possible
to include the "traditional" senior section
in future editions of the Kentuckian, I
would urge an investigation of possible
substitutes which would accomplish the
desired benefit—a so
