heard first-yelaw student Al
V. E.
Bender eulogize Dr.
DuBois last night at the Black
Student Union services in Memorial Hall.
"W. E. DuBois was truly the
father of the black liberation
movement," said Bender, "He
was concerned with the well being of black people in part, and
exploited and underprivileged
people in general. First and
foremost he was a fighter for
the oppressed and the downtrodden, irrespective of their
race."
American-bor- n
DuBois was a
graduate of Fisk and Harvard
Universities. He returned to the
classroom throughout his life
in the role of teacher.
"One of his early theories,"
said Bender, "was that black
progress could be gained
through returning highly educated blacks to their communities. It was DuBois' dream that
they would uplift the masses
and ultimately provide the scientific answer to black problems. In later years, he was to
see his theory fail."
DuBois founded the Niagra
Movement in 1905, a forerunner of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People (NAACP).
In addition, he organized six
Conferences from
1900 until 1945. "Much of the
early
Unity movement arose as a result of desires of blacks in the U.S., Africa and the West Indies to be
free from the oppression and
the monopoly of capitalism,"
said Bender. 'To DuBois,
meant the political,
social and economic unity of all
people of African descent."
Following the
Conference of 1945, DuBois
served on a committee to ac
Pan-Afric-

complish nuclear disarmament.
"Because of his protest of the
war, he was denied his passport
and his right to travel abroad,"
added Bender. "Charges of being an agent of a foreign power
were placed against him."
In October 1961 DuBois officially joined the Communist
party and became an expatriate
in Ghana. One year before his
death in August 1963, DuBois
became a citizen of Ghana.
The BSU will present its second service of the year Feb. 21
in Memorial Hall in memory of
Malcolm X.

Citizen's Lobbyist1 Speaks to ZPG

By REBECCA WESTERFIELD

Kernel Staff Writer
In this democracy mere voting is no longer as important
as it was, and neither is
is essential if
the society is to survive is more
participation and communication among citizens. That, at
least, is the basic premise of
the Legislative Action Committee for Kentucky (LACK),
according to its founder Quentin Allen.
Last night in a speech sponsored by Zero Population
Growth, Allen explained LACK
serves as a "citizen's lobby." It
will
coordinate organizations
and individuals who want to
make social reform into law, he
declared.
While allowing for wider citizen participation, LACK as a
central process will eliminate
fragmentation and duplication
among groups, its founder said,
adding that LACK will also provide services such as professional aid in research, writing legislative bills and, most importantly, lobbying.
Allen said he had experienced "growing frustration" in
knowing what was going on and

what was wrong with the legislature in many areas. "But I
only talked and never got any
place, never seemed to be
where the action really is, and.
that is Frankfort. Legislators
suffer from a lack of knowledge,
though not necessarily through

their own fault."
Allen maintained that consequently most legislators look
to lobbyists for their information. "We need a piece of the
action. We want equal time
with paid lobbyists who are
looking out for the interests of

Paper Wins Battle

Over 'Women's' Story
-

A nationDENVER (CPS)
wide trend was momentarily
checked in Denver as the Metropolitan State College (MSC)
Board of Publications voted not
to cease publication of
The
Paper, the MSC student newspaper. The decision comes in the
wake of major shutdowns in MasNew York,
and
sachusetts,
Pueblo, Colorado.
The controversy at MSC centered around the Oct. 28 printing in the paper of an article
entitled "A Woman's View of
the Clitoris." The article, distributed by College Press Service, deals with the much debated "myth of the vaginal orgasm," and contends the notion
that vaginal orgasm as a sign of
maturity is indeed a myth.
Citing Drs. Masters and Johnson, (authors of "Human Sexual
Response"), one of the plaintiffs
in the matter, Ceorge Bruner of
the MSC Business Club said the
article violated one of the "Canons of Responsible Journalism"
under which the Paper operates.
In his list of charges he stated
that Masters and Johnson refute
the idea of the clitoral orgasm,
and charged the Paper with not
having exercised good judgment
in printing the article.
He further charged that, in
as much as the Paper is sup- -

less.

The best character of the play
is the little boy, played by a
young boy certainly not thinking
about drama as a future or a
major in college.
When he comes running onto
the stage playing a joke by having a knife looking like it's stuck
in his chest and catsup smeared
on his shirt like the redness of
blood, he can't understand what
is going through the young man's
mind who might have to see the
real thing. It was just a joke.
Then again when he walks
on stage with his toy machine
gun. It's not real, it's just a
toy.

The young boy's innocence
contrasts with the unfortunate
facts. A war, a draft, real bullets and real blood.
"Summertree" really doesn't
make you angry about war, at
least not today, not when body
counts get a couple of minutes
on the evening news every night.
Instead, "Summertree" makes
you remember those numbers represent people being killed.
Don't go see "Summertree"
if you want a biting criticism

ported by student fees, it must
represent the views of a majority
of students on the MSC campus.
This, he said, it failed to do.
Other complaints were filed
by 20 faculty members, the Newman club, the Baptist Student
Union, and scattered unaffiliated
students. All were heard in a
session with the Board of Publications.
Statements of support were
read by Diane Wolfe for the
Colorado Media Alliance (CM A)
and Denver Metropolitan Area
college newspapers, several concerned student groups, and Jon
Hillson for the United States

Association

Press

Student
(USSPA).

Editor Frank O'Neil began
rebuttal on behalf of the staff
stating that most of the allegations presented by parties other
than Bruner were "unsubstantially opinion," and should not
be considered by the Board. The
Board voted 1 in concurrence
with O'Neil.
Bruner's charges were refuted
by feature editor Paul Hutchinson. Hutchinson cited Masters
and Johnson to dispose of the
arguments on the validity of the
article. He concluded by saying
that the Paper was under no
obligation to represent the largest
portion of the student body.
The Paper was cleared of all
charges in a 1 vote.

* Student Justice
By its decision to disqualify
Student Coalition Party members
from this fall's election the Student Government Elections Board
has underlined the pressing need
for increased student authority over
student-relate- d
matters.
The Elections Board and its big
brother, the UK Judicial Board,
have consistently applied the
highest standards of deliberation
and open mindedness in their approach to student complaints. In
even the most blatantly obvious
bodies
cases, these two
have exercised extreme care to insure all parties an adequate opportunity to present their cases. The
most important point in the Student Coalition case was not that
the Elections Board disqualified
SCP candidates, but rather that it
allowed the SCP every conceivable
advantage in the presentation of the
case.
nt

The fact that SCP candidates
had blatantly ignored SG ex-

penditure limits was easily ascertained, even before the election
occurred. The Elections Board wisely delayed supervisory sanctions un

til after the election, thereby giving
the defendants ample time to formulate a defense. The defense consisted of absurd statements from
the SCP candidates denying any
knowledge of their expenditures,
even though it was proven they
worked closely in each step of the
promotion campaign. The Elections
Board bent backward to afford SCP
the benefit of the doubt of each
count, but even this could not save
SCP from its own deception.
The constant responsibility exercised by the student Jucicial
boards should be rewarded by an
expansion of their duties to all
areas involving student problems.
Trial by peers is an essential element in the formula for approximating Justice, but at UK we are
denied that element.
The Board of Trustees has allowed students final Jurisdiction
over their own affairs only in the
most token areas. In the face of
the high quality work done by our
student Judicial boards, the trustees' rantings of student immaturity
sound suspiciously, patronizingly
hollow.

Appeals Board Decision Provides
Administrative Embarrassment
Another Judicial encouragement
was handed down last week by the
UK Appeals Board. At issue was
the administration's
ridiculous
charge against SG president Steve
Bright for violation of the student
code in last spring's disruption.
The Appeals Board's unanimous
decision to overturn an earlier conviction of Bright provided a conspicuous embarassment for Dean of
Students Jack Hall and that part
of the administration pushing for
Bright's conviction.
The unexpected decision can be

attributed largely to the brilliance

of Bright's counsel, third year law
student Sheryl Snyder. In addition,
much credit should be afforded the
Appeals Board members. The majority of the board is appointed
by President Singletary who conspicuously attempted to select only
those faculty members who basically agreed with his orientation. Obviously Dr. Singletary made a mistake by selecting members who are
d
than
slightly more
their chief administrator.
open-minde-

The Appeals Board stand was
a courageous one. They must be
commended for their independence
and objectivity.

I never ceased to be amazed at the incredible heights
By

of moral indignation most Americans rise to concerning
the treatment of American POW's in North Vietnam.
Last week's unsuccessful attempt to free some POW's
is just the latest event in one of the most emotion-charge- d
and irrational issues in our history.
Let us for once try to rationally understand why
the North Vietnamese treat American prisoners as they
do.
