By BILL STRAl'B
Kernel Staff Writer

An antiwar former Vietnam prisoner-~
of-war attacked President Ford's amnesty
plitl‘ for military deserters and draft
evaders as a “fraud" in a speech Monday
night.

Speaking in the Student Center, Michael
Branch told the 20 people in attendance
conditional amnesty is not acceptable to a
majority of the Americans in exile.

“PEOPLE ARE looking upon amnesty
as an end instead of a means to bring about
the ends," Branch said. "Their (deserters
and draft evadersi goal is not to come
back Their goal is to have the government
admit by giving them unconditional
amnesty that the war was wrong.”

“THEY ARE doing this so another

“so our children will not have to go

these guys are trying to tell the rest of us."

“That‘s why Ford‘s earned re-entry

said, “because it isn‘t any type of
amnesty. It‘s a fraud."

Zumwinkle petitioned
to expand visitation

By st'sas‘ JONES
Kernel Staff Writer

Student (Imernment «SUI has started a petition drive to
urge Robert Zumwinkle. vice president for student affairs. to
change his stand on freshman and coeducational Visitation
hours

Zumwinkle disapproved some of the reconimendations of
the Committee on I‘Iyaluation ol ('oeducational Housing and
Visitation Sept 23

.\ \lritl'l‘INt; held last \N'ednesday to begin the drive was
attended by one person S(; Director of Student Affairs Janie
(ienneralli said she planned to hold other meetings in the
future and to set up tables at cafeterias around meal times to
get signatures

The petition calls for an increase in freshman visitation
hours. extension of coeducation Visitation to 6-12 pm. on
week nights and unrestricted access for sophomores to
coeducational dormitories.

Zumwinkle approved seven of the committee‘s nine
recommendations including the establishment of a second
coeducational residence hall and granting sophomores
accessibility to one of the coeducational dorms,

"Zl'MWlNKl.E'S decision did not grant sophomores
unlimited access to coed dorms because he is only offering
one more coed dorm and that will also be open to juniors and
seniors " said Genneralli The original coed dorm is open to
juniors and seniors only.

SG President David Mucci said he thought it was absurd
Zumwinkle disapproved several of the committee s
recommendations, especially when data included in
Zumwinkle's own report indicated the recommendations
should be approved.

“We have this committee study these aspects of housing
and then totally ignore the work that they have done." said

Black like me

Another man darkens skin,
studies racial relationships

By RONALD D. HAWKINS
Kernel Staff Writer

Michael Thomas had not returned to his
normal (‘aucasian skin color when he passed
through Lexington last week to speak to a UK
sociology class.

Thomas pulled his sweater above his head to
show a reporter how his chest was much lighter
than his face and other areas that had been
darkened months earlier so he could pass for a
black.

THOMAS. WHO is writing a book about
interracial relations which he hopes will be
published in February. had traveled across the
country as a black re-enacting the travels of
fellow whites John Griffin (author of Black Like
)Iet and Grace Ilalsell who temporarily changed
their skin colors to black to experience
Americans~ attitudes toward blacks.

“What I heard most about was jobs," said
Thomas. “The general feeling. even among
whites. was that blacks are at the end of the soup
hne “

Thomas. a 25-year-old with a bachelor‘s
degree Ill sociology from New York University,
said Cl\'ll rights laws passed in the 1960‘s have
“changed the country."

White people have to be made more aware of
cultural factors. however

“YOl‘ LEARN a lot about England in school
but not about Africa." Thomas said, “There
should be a standard course all people should be
required to take dealing with African culture."

Although Thomas has a verbal commitment
from a publisher for his book on his travels as a

“black" and his research into interracial
relations, he said he has lost several personal
friends.

“Others said it was a good idea,” he said, and
his parents refuse to discuss his travels with
him.

BEFORE FINDING a doctor who would
prescribe the drug needed to change his skin
color, Thomas was turned down by several
physicians.

“It took a while to find a doctor who’d
prescribe it.“ he said. “They felt it would do
harm to me physically. You can get third degree
burns from the drug."

Before he headed out on his first trip which
was aborted after two weeks. Thomas talked to
authors Griffin and Halsell.

“I ASKED him (Griffin) what he thought. He
wrote a long letter with the general view that the

white men feel they are trying to lead the black
out of bondage... He said he would not
discourage me," Thomas said.

Thomas took the drug, taken in the form of
pills three times a day, with chocolate milk. The
pigmentation process of portions of the body
exposed to ultra-violet or sunlight was speeded
up, he said.

'I‘IIE DIFFERENCE between feelings toward
blacks in the United States in the north and south
is a matter of degree. Thomas said.

“In the north they try to be nice when they
don‘t like somebody. On the issue of busing they
blame the government, they don‘t claim
animosity to blacks,” Thomas said.

Before Thomas finishes work on his book by
December. he plans to travel to a Black Muslim
community in North Carolina. He only has the
concluding chapters to write before it is finished,
he said.
