UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

'Saw or Heard

Nothing Immoral'

Crossen Testifies
The Associated Press
Although a number of nude
photos had been introduced as
evidence against him. Dr. Phillip
Crossen testified Tuesday night
he saw or heard nothing immoral
during a rock festival earlier this
month at his farm home.
Dr. Crossen, a prominent Lex
ington physician, is on trial in
Fayette Quarterly Court on
charges of entertainment and beverage license law violations and
of allowing his farm to be used
for lewd purposes.
He also told the court he
"made every effort" to find out
if licenses should be obtained
for an earlier festival at the farm
and was under the impression
that none were needed.
He said he made his inquiries through the sister of the county attorney, who was acting as
prosecutor against him. The sister, Mary Ann Salmon, verified
Crossen's statement.
The prosecution had previously introduced some 100 pictures
taken by police and others at the
festival. These included several
showing one or more girls swimming nude.
David L. Shade, who acted
as a security officer for Dr. Crossen at a festival Sept. 11, said
he saw the doctor "in the vicinity" of people who were nude
at that event.
y
Shade, an
auxiliary
policeman at the time, also said
Dr. Crossen was "no more than
50 feet away" when the officer
observed a group taking pornographic pictures during the earlier
festival.
However, he could not say if
Dr. Crossen saw any of the activity and the physician denied
that he did.

testified

he

"made every effort to find out if

licensing was necessary . . . and
that this festival was conducted
in a way not open to criticism."
Members of the student organization that headed the September festival, the Crosvenor Street
Zoo, also testified they saw no
nudity or other lewdness at the
event.
In addition. Franklin Marks,
an executive at the Square D Co.,
said he, his wife and three children attended the festival and
saw nothing lewd or obscene.
If he had, he told the court,
"I wouldn't have stayed there
with my children."
Judge Cecil Dunn deferred
closing arguments by the lawyers until 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
All testimony was concluded after 8V hours Tuesday and about
three hours Monday.

Paper 'Downgrades America'

TRAIN Hears
By FRANK S. COOTS
Editor-in-Chi-

m

ef

Herman H. Dinsmore is a
former New York Times editor
who does not like The New York
Times.
Dinsmore does not like the
Times primarily because he says
it distorts news in a way that
"down-grades- "
America and because it "is as
as it possibly can be."
He also carries a grudge toward the Times because it did
not see fit to review his book
"All the News That Fits" which
is critical of the Times' news
and editorial content.

York Times Editor

Ex-Ne- w

Dinsmore does not think very
many, if any, of the news papers
in the United States are "objective." This is because most
of them "deliberately follow
closely in the footsteps of the
Times." Besides this, The New
York Times was not the only
newspaper which did not review
his book.
Dinsmore addressed the Lexington TRAIN (To Restore American Independence Now) Commit-- '
tee Tuesday night at Holiday Inn
East. The topic of his speech
was "Who Distorts The News
You Read."
He believes that after World

War II, the Times in particular
and the news media in general
"decided to set up a balance of
power" and "began play ing the
United States against other world
powers." He said that at this
point, the Times became "neutral
toward the United States."
Dinsmore deplored this supon the part
posed policy-makin- g
of the Times and was particularly
critical of the way some members
of the Times editorial staff conferred with the State Department
under the "Communist Eisenhower government." Dinsmore
emphasized that he was not
charging Eisenhower with being

a Communist, just Eisenhower's
government.
He said the Times and the
State Department "was determined to put Castro in power."

The Code: A Look at Two Perspectives

SLAM Criticizes Document
As an 'Engine of Injustice9

By DAVID BLANTON

Kernel Staff Writer
"The code of student conduct now in
effect is a repressive document existing in
blatant violation of and repugnant to the
Constitutions of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky and the United States of America. It is final, Irrefutable proof of the utter
contempt with which the power elite
views civil liberties, human rights and
due process of law. The code is an engine
of Injustice."
That is the opening paragraph of the
introduction to "Up Against The Code,"

Calling the code "the most fascist in
the history of the University," SLAM
begins by criticizing the procedure by
which the code was adopted. "The new
code was not submitted to the faculty

or even comment. 'Open hearings' on the

of participatory democracy."

The local chapter also attacks the authors of the code. "In short, the code that
suppresses your liberties was written by
politicians having minimal or no ties with
the University, politicians appointed to
their office not for their expertise in University affairs, but for the purpose of political expedience."
Stating that the overwhelming weight
of the law supports its analysis, SLAM
explains four legal points which it continually uses in its arguments against the
code.
Void For Vagueness
for vagueness is a constitutional doctrine which states that any rule
or regulation which is so vague that a
reasonable person would not be able
to tell from it what conduct is proscribed,
and what conduct is not, is void and
cannot be enforced."
SLAM believes that most of the code's
rules art not specific enough to enable
those who read them to know exactly

Student Coalition Believes
Code Is Fair to Students

By MARGARET SHADBURNE

Kernel Staff Writer
"The 'Student Rights and Responsibilities' as adopted August 20, 1970,
is (except Sections 3.21 and 6.34) a fair,
reasonable, and understandable codification of the rules and regulations of
the University of Kentucky and a reaffirmation of the students' liberties and
rights as expressed in The Bill of Rights
of the U.S. Constitution."
The above conclusion is stated in
"The Bill of Rights, The Court Decisions,
The Student Code, and You," a document published by the Legal Committee
of the Student Coalition Sept 23.
The purpose of the report, stated in
its opening paragraph, is "to apply the

Cook Opposes ABA Veto

Of Judge Appointments
WASHINGTON (AP)-S- en.
conMariow W. Cook,
demned Tuesday the Justice Department's practice of giving an
American Bar Association committee a veto over appointments
of federal Judges.
"I strenuously oppose this
procedure," said Cook, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, "It borders upon an unconstitutional delegation of constitutional authority and if it's
not unconstitutional, it is at least
unsound."
He said he regarded it as "the
most critical mistake out of many
which the Justice Department
has made."
'Cook's remarks were prepared for a meeting of the Louisville Bar Association last night.
He said he is opposed to giv- -

!

lng any outside organization a
veto power over appointments
by the executive. And in the
case of the ABA, he said it is
largely oriented toward large law
firms that represent insurance
companies and do corporate work
in general.
Cook said it has "a certain
unavoidable bias against a great
class of outstanding lawyers who
represent plaintiffs in personal
injury cases, criminal defendants
and quite often practice alone
or in small firms."

(

pi)

Giving the ABA's
standing committee on the federal judiciary a veto over appointments to the federal bench,
he said, only substitutes "American Bar Association politics for
senatorial politics."

Joyless Faces

On campuses hit by last
spring's turmoil, the broken
windows have been mostly replaced, the strike slogans on
walls mostly painted over or
washed away. But the young
fall faces, to an old grad, look
joyless.

Faculty and administrators
have had a breathing spell to
think things out and do some
planning, but the bomb blast
that demolished the University
of Wisconsin Mathematics Research Center and killed a

young scientist echoes in their
heads. Said a young campus
editor: "It's a whole new game."
"A person would be utterly
naive to believe it couldn't happen here," said James 0. Can-sle- r,
associate dean for student
affairs
at the University of
North Carolina. His school is
a relative elysium of peace and
cooperation compared to some
others.
'Hit and Run Terrorism
Across the country, teachers,
administrators
and
students
said they had been expecting a

turn from mass confrontation to
terrorism. There are
rumors of political kidnapings
and assassinations and more
students are reportedly bringing
guns to campus.
"If defense against terrorism
were easy, it wouldn't be such
a persistent strain in human history," said Richard W. Lyman,
new acting president of Stanford University.
Stanford counts its losses at
$380,000 from violence last
school year. Its fire insurance
now is $500,000 deductible instead of $25,000. It is investing
$90,000 in floodlights and hoping for the best.
"You can't build a high wall
around the university," said W.
Eugene Clingan, vice chancellor
for student affairs at Wisconsin,
"and we would refuse to even if
we could."
Consensus: Be surprised at
nothing and try to cope with
things that can be coped with.
Trying to read this year's future from the entrails of last
year's turmoil is not only dangerous but fruitless, said George
Smith, assistant vice chancellor
for student affairs at Santa Barbara:

This Year's Violence?
What sparks might set off this
year's campus violence?

Riding Apparel and Saddlery

.

The Indochina war, ROTC
and the rights of blacks arc still
big issues on campus, but they
are losing relative importance as
a host of other issues come on
the scene:
Labor relations on campus,
"political" trials of black militants and others, local politics,
grievances of Chicanos, Indians
and Asians, perpetuation of "reconstituted" courses from last
spring's strike, administration
and state efforts to keep students in line, pollution, women's
liberation and practically anything the Nixon administration
does.
Student Types
If there is such a thing as a
"hippie type" student, he worries administrators far less than
the
counterculture
growing
communities of nonstudents on
the fringes of university campuses singing siren songs of
freedom.
Mostly they are called "street
people," sometimes "book carriers." They include dropouts,
kick-outtheoretical and pracrevolutionaries,
ticing
high
school runaways and drug trippers in various combinations.
They are nomadic and hard to
keep track of.
What is developing is that the
politically inclined student can
choose between a growing number of small, specialized organizations and that the organizations can increase their power
by forming coalitions for any
given issue.

Senate Representation

To the Editor.
To deny the responsible conservatives
on this campus a recognized voice in
official university affairs is turning Student Government on this campus into a
government for only the liberal activist
students on this campus. This is a great
disservice to all other students who pay
to support this government. Forcing certain responsible student concerns out of
Student Government only encourages the
administration to avoid the Student Government and look elsewhere for student
opinion. This is a further disservice to
responsible conservatives on this campus and indeed a great neglect of what
is best for the student body as a whole.

To say that politics is irrelevant in

The Kentucky

A Concept of Education

To the Editor.
I have just read your September 18
reprint of an editorial in the Courier
Journal entitled "Quality of Education
in Kentucky's Schools" and should like
to pose a few ideas in disagreement with
the suggestions found there.
All of us in education set up objectives
and goals for our subject area and strive
to educate toward them, but one day in
the classroom proves to us that every
child is an individual with widely varying
personalties, interests, and capabilities,
and to try to fit all these individuals into
a common mold is not only an impossibility, it would be a distinct disservice
to mankind. Every teacher must commit
himself to gearing his educational efforts
to these individuals and must provide all
the opportunities at his command for their
physical, social, and intellectual growth

Encouraged Injustice at UK
By ANDREW JOHNSON
Last semester, while talking to my
adviser. Dr. White (Psychology), he decided in the seemingly relaxed atmosphere
that he wanted to talk about "Niggers".
Whereupon, I immediately informed him
that he should realize that most black
people are offended by such language.
The next fifteen minutes he assured me
that he was "brought up the other way."
Recently on my way to Jail the Thursday before last, I managed to get a message to my father who in turn phoned the
dean of students' office. Jack Hall has
heard my name before in connection with
student organizational work. Somehow
there was a "mix-up.-"
Someone in the
dean of students' office told my father
that "nothing could be done about my
arrest until Monday.
The 17th of this month I was arrested
for Jaywalking and later a disorderly conduct charge was manufactured. The gist
of the situation is that I unknowingly
(at that time) said something the arresting
officers did not agree with or I should say
did not like concerning my understanding
of what traffic light Is "facing" the pedestrian, and police harassment.
I spent five hours in the city or county
Jail (thanks to a friend who observed my
abduction, I did not spend the week-en- d
there), mainly I think because I was not
allowed to make a phone call. Bill Allison
represented me in court, and the Honorable Judge Amato saw fit to uphold the
Jaywalking charge and "file away" the
disorderly conduct charge.
Throughout the entire ungodly incident the arresting officers were Jovial.
