* Penny Ante

It is difficult to take issue with the current SDS and CARSA plan
to pay for food in the Grille with pennies. Their goal is entirely commendablethat of attempting to further the grape boycott and improve
the scandalous living conditions of the migrant grape workers.
Nevertheless, the
plan cannot be approved, not just
because it apparently does not register with the Grille personnel, but
also because it creates inconvenience for other students waiting in line.
Perhaps most of these students do not really merit sympathy in this
matter, but their rights must be considered anyway.
Paying by pennies for food in the Grille is a bit inconsiderate,
but buying grapes anywhere at this time is insensitive and inhumane.
pay-by-penni-

YAF-I- n
If it were not for the display
of gross lack of humanistic concern,
last Wednesday's Young Americans
for Freedom (YAF) meeting would
have been ridiculously funny.
YAF, after having launched a
campaign last semester against the
Kernel based on untruths and inaccuracies, announced plans to
start the battle all over again. In
characteristic flair, YAF appointed
to head its "Reform the Kernel
Committee" a student who feels
the Kernel is one of the best student newspapers in the country.
Another YAF member, Rusty
Booth, is one of the leaders in the
group's plans to fight the grape
boycott and to voice opposition
to SDS and CARSA's penny protest
activities.
Coincidentally, Booth is a Grille'
cashier.
But this is not to indicate that
the only reason YAF is fighting the
grape boycott movement is out of
sympathy for Grille cashiers. No,
YAF' s commitment goes far beyond
that.
YAF is so committed to defeat

ing the grape boycott, in fact,
that it toasted its plans with grape
juice. (While the act certainly effectively symbolized YAF's disdain
for the plight of the grape workers,
the members apparently did not
realize that their act of defiance
was a bit ridiculous because grape
juice is not even affected by the
boycott.)
Students who have been unaware of YAF's real goals and "concerns" should know by now what
the group stands for the perpetuation of a reactionary economic system at whatever cost necessary
in terms of human beings.
Perhaps YAF's anti grape-boyco- tt
movement should indeed be
referred to as the "Grapes of Wrath"
and not as the "Grapes of YAF,"
as suggested by the conservative
group's adviser, Dr. Wasley Krog-dah- l,
in an attempt at humor. The
issues involved in the grape boycott, you see, are much the same
as were portrayed so sensitively
in Steinbeck's novel of the very
title on which Dr. Krogdahl ironically based his pun.

On the whole KUAC has demonstrated a propensity toward violating the rights of dissidents and
minority groups. This tendency fortunately has been restrained, however, by the committee's lack of
funds and the threat of lawsuits.

It is only a shame that the
money already spent by KUAC
could not have gone instead toward solving some of this state's
many pressing problems.

iKernel Forum: the readers write!ii
Nascent GSA
To the Editor of the Kernel
I should like to address this letter
to those students who may have concluded from reading the very welcome
Kernel coverage of the efforts to form
a Graduate Students Association that the
sole concern of the nascent CSA is with
parking. The unanimous parkng resolution was passed not out of some desire
to create a specially privileged student
caste, but rather because those of us who
attended the Monday meeting realized
that the proposed changes in UK parking policy would very seriously affect
some grad students, and that any effective protests must be made very soon,
or not at all.
All graduate students have had at
least four years of experience in a university setting, and most of them have
probably concluded that many reforms
are needed, both here at UK and elsewhere. Institutional reforms are not likely
to be the result of individual protests;
hence the CSA parking resolution should
be seen as an initial collective protest
against a sympton of a more basic attitude concerning the nature, role, and
.responsibilities of the graduate student.

Challenges Argument
Mr. Gross, representing the attempt
of a weak mind to express itself forcefully, is indicative of the need for those
who disagree with the views of others
to say more than "all I can say is 'Good,
Lord, Cillihan." If that's all you can
say in answer to my "verbal garbage,"
what does your letter equal? Not much.
If you don't agree, then let's see why

not. How about the merits? Or don't
they count? Is it, "Lord" Gross, that
you consider your conclusions to be so
sacrosanct that they need make no sense,
for, after all, why worry about reason
in matters of faith, i.e., your beliefs?
d
And your
attempt to defend one "whose sin was to write what
her feelings were in a few short paragraphs" is hardly moving and less than
d
credible. It seems obvious that this
exercise in nonsense is really a
result of the fact that your beliefs were
challenged in what I wrote and yet rather
than battle on the merits you must hide
behind someone's skirts and yell "mean-ie.-"
That won't cut it in court. (By the
way, it's not words that cannot express.)

Amateur Editor
In your Wednesday. Feb. 27th, edition
you hinted that Miss Bonnie Cox resigned
her editorship of The Kentucky Review
because one of the members of the Board

of Student Publications (Mr. Herbert
Creech) questioned her knowledge of the
field.
The Kernel must have mixed its facts.
Certainly Mr. Creech and the Publications
Board members are aware that Miss Cox's
Kentucky Review gained national recognition as a scholarly journal after her first
number, its contents were certified professional enough for inclusion in the Publication of the Modem Language Association Bibliography (national in scope,
and totally unconcerned with second-rat- e
journals) as well as the Index to Little
Magazines.
If Miss Cox is unprofessional as an
editor, then I hope that her successor is
equally amateur.

You are a product of the southern

private corporations. To protect the interests of your class, you must continually

attack and vote against the interests of
the working people; against the interests

of people who have been forced out of work
by mechanization and automation (currently called "poor people"); against the
interests of black people who have been
forced to the bottom of employment lists
by racist practices; against the interests
of students and teachers who might expose
the corruption of your class.

into a conspiracy with proven law break-er- a

workers there a conspiracy
which, directly or indirectly, led to the
attempted dynamite murder of my
son, my wife and myself three
months ago.
On the other hand, we are products
of the other class of people, the people
who do not own banks. Instead of profits,
we value life, love, honesty and justice.

nothing wrong with calling black men

frustrated energies in our black ghettoes
into political forms. You see nothing
wrong with turning poor white people
against poor black people through your
racist institutions. You see nothing wrong

We know that it is too late for you
to understand the feelings of despair
and frustration which the
system which you have spent your life
protecting has caused in the mountains
and cities of our beloved nation.

However, we hoped that you would
have the courtesy to allow the people
of America to listen to what we have
to say in a public hearing about the
causes of the urban disorders which is
what this committee is supposed to be
investigating. It is for this reason that
we have traveled twice to Washington,
leaving our work in the mountains.
And it is also for these reasons, and
the ones which our counsel has stated,
that we refuse to take part in any sort
of star chamber proceedings.
