tage of the board's transition to
seize control of it.
"Until 1948," said Cwiazda,
"the President had a staff of officers briefing the appeals for his
decision. But then the President
decided civilians ought to be
handling it, and he created a
civilian appeals board.
"It's common talk around here
that the General Hershey has
never swallowed this and never
will."
By law and regulations, the
National Appeals Board is independent of the Selective Service
System, headed by Hershey since
its inception in 1940. But it depends on Selective Service for
its office space here, its operating funds and its essential services.

Gwiazda, a board member
since 1961 and chairman since
1965,

said he thought the board

was running its own affairs until
it asked Hershey last year for additional office help.
Hershey, he said, ignored the

board and began interviewing
its staff on the need for the new
positions.
Gwiazda said he objected.
"I told him I thought they
were our staff, not his," he said,
"and he said, 'You'll learn different'. And we did."
Gwiazda said he wrote Nixon
last June 24 asking for assurance
the presidential board could appoint its own personnel.
On July 9, presidential aide
Peter Flanigan relayed a request for his and Clement's, resignations, he said.
Also on July 9, said Capt.
William S. Pascoe, information

largely through the efforts of
Sheryl Snyder, a Student Government appointee to the University
Senate, and Taft McKinstry, an
SG appointee to the Senate's
advisory council for student affairs.
The amendment will be more

than integration and includes
seven major policy changes:

Appellate jurisdiction over
residence judicial boards would
be changed from the University
to the appeals board.
Jurisdiction over academic
offenses would be changed from
the appeals board to the students rights board, which would
be created by the document.
Will Apply To Academic Offenses

The student rights board's

power to change grades would
apply to cases of academic offenses.

The student rights board
would be created immediately
as a seperate board.
Authority of the proposed
student rights board would be
retroactive to last spring for the
purpose of changing grades.
The search and seizure protection would be administered
inby the disciplinary
stead of by the student rights
board.
All rights under the bill of

created in the current student
code.

The plan will be presented

Williamson Named Fayette Circuit Judge

Charles Curley Williamson
Jr., an assistant professor of law
at the University, was appointed
interim' Fayette circuit judge
Thursday.
Williamson was named by
Cov. Louie B. Nunn to replace
the recently deceased Nolan Carter.
Cov. Louie B. Nunn announced his selection of Williamson at the governor's regularly scheduled monthly press

conference.

Williamson will fill the seat
left vacant by the recent death
of Judge Nolan Carter, whose
term was to run until November.
While usual procedure would
call for Williamson to seek a
leave of absence from his teaching duties at the University, William L. Mathews, dean of the
College of Law, indicated that
Williamson might not follow this
procedure.
He has not yet done so and

Mathews said that "it might
not be the procedure in this
case.

Williamson came to UK in
1964 as an adjunct professor and
has been an assistant professor
of law since 1966.
He was a member of the graduating class of 1946 of the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point
and served in the Army from that
time until 1954.
He earned his J.D. (Juris Doctor) degree in 1956 from the Uni

versity of Michigan and received
his LL.M. (Master of Laws) from
Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., in 1961.

Before coming to UK, Williamson practiced law in Washington, D.C. He is eligible to
practice before the Washington,
D.C, Maryland, Kentucky and
federal courts.

Speculation would be that the
interim judge would be the Republican candidate in the No

vember election for the
term.

Cleans Up
While Critics Blush

Band To Get

'Hee-Ha- w'

Assistant Managing Editor
Using trite puns, well-wor- n
jokes, and blatantly plagiarized
style, how could any summer-seaso- n
show do
replacement
well? Certainly the critics can't
tell you.
"IIcc Haw," a poor imita-

tion of the popular "Laugh-In- "
in a hillbilly setting, seemed to
do all the wrong things that
ordinarily would doom a show
to a short life. Yet, in the Nielsen audience figures published
recently "Hce Haw" was in the
number one spot with a Sunday
night average of 27 .3 million viewers.

In a fiasco reminiscent of the
"Beverly Hillbillies" the newspaper critics lashed "Hee Haw"
unmercifully while the viewers
welcomed it with open arms.
With ironic humor CBS has
run promotion spots of the show
playing some of the most ridiculous episodes with the aside:
"The critics are unanimous about
"Hee Haw," -- but watch it anyway."
What attracts the hordes of
watchers each week is painfully
old material put together with
the new production techniques
introduced by "Laugh-In.- "
On "Hee Haw" only the setting is different from the Laugh-Iformat. Crafitti is writtin on Burma Shave signs along a rural
highway. Dialogues take place
in cornfields, farm houses, and
barns.
The symbolism between the
cornfield setting and the quality
of the material is not unwarranted. One of the characters
announces, "I'm a farmer in a
candy factory." A group of rural
voices responds:
"Whaddaya
do?" "I milk chocolate."
In another classic a straight
man wonders, "Hey, Junior, how
come I saw you eating with a
knife at supper?" Reply: "My
fork leaked." Such gems of wit

Tradition has it the country
doctor not only diagnoses and
treats an ailment, but also tells
you where you got it, who will
get it next and why you shouldn't
have gotten it in the first place.
UK medical students are being trained to be country doctors in the sense that their course
of studies involves the treatment
of the whole patient.
The whole patient concept
involves making the student
aware of both social and psychological factors in the treatment
and prevention of illness. Both
of these, considerations are the
tasks of the Department of Behavioral Science, which was incorporated into initial planning
of the Medical Center 14 years
ago. The department serves the
students in the Colleges of Dentistry and Nursing as well as medical college students.

Why this reorganization of
Health and Society?
Dr. John Stephenson, a medical sociologist who teaches on
the course's panel, says, "The

his students. Some may have had
only one undergraduate course in

A student evaluation of Health
and Society, done early in the past
semester, showed it to be not
relevant even though other
courses evaluated like Communication and Interviewing and
conjoint fared better.
"These new courses within
courses will make our message
more relevant to the doctor's
work," says Dr. Pearsall.

A Need For Change
because

The recent appointment of a
special student government committee to study the housing situation at the University is a long
overdue step. Serious complaints
have been lodged annually against
those in charge of Housing Operations; each year these complaints

have been ignored completely.
Student opinion has seldom
been as unified as in the area of
forced housing for sophomores. A
referendum held in the spring of
1969 revealed ninety-seve- n
percent
of the voting students were opposed to such a' requirement. The
issue of overly crowded dormitories has often been a pet gripe of
those who live in University housing. The poor system of supervising has also been under strong
attack. This issue was instrumental in sparking the mini-revo- lt
in
Hall last spring.
Haggin

brief study of the University's
handling of the numerous complaints is in order at this time.
First in regard to forced housing
for sophomores. The referendum
was a complete failure. Perhaps
at no other time in the history of
a University was student opinion
so obviously ignored. The president of the University wasn't even
aware of the vote until it was
much too late. The president of
Student Government stated that
the students didn't know what
they were voting about. To 'complete the trinity of treason the

they wanted to live. It was emphasized that this was all in the
best interest of the student.
This isn't exactly what happened. Today the dormitories are
disgustingly crowded. The rooms
in some men's dorms have been
changed from the dual occupancy
for which they were designed to
three man rooms. Perhaps one of
the administrators involved in this
decision should try existing in such
an atmosphere. At best it is an
unpleasant situation, as this writer
was shown three years ago.
If this were the first time the
same administrators had made the
same mistake, perhaps it could be
excused. However, it is not the first,

Another possible site where

acceptable to any wall aficionado

The development being conducted on the field facing the Administration Building could use its

visitors to campus an opportunity to see the free and open
