Committee Of 240
Discusses Plans
The Committee of 240, who
wants to carry the story of UK
to high school seniors of the
state, would like to give these
seniors a better idea of college.
"We want prospective students to see UK as a school and
to give their consideration to it
rather than just seeing it as a
huge jungle," chairman David
Mathews said in Tuesday night's
meeting.
In an effort to acquaint state
students with the advantages
'
their own state university offers,
the Committee of 240 plans for
each member to visit two high
schools assigned to him while
home for Christmas.
"This is not a recruiting
drive," Mathews said, "but
rather a means of providing the
student with information about
UK."
Mathews then went on to out-lin- e
suggestions for the Committee when they visit the various
high schools, mostly in their
native counties.
"You must know as much as
possible about the University in
order to discuss It intelligently
and answer questions that will
arise," Mathews said. "Quick
answers are necessary."

,

Scheduled Today

"Also, you must let the high
school senior know that the University is interested in him, and
that this is a friendly campus."
Mathews then talked about
the three major complaints of
potential students. They were:
that UK is too big, too expensive,
and too hard.
"I know that UK is hard, but
you members must point out to
the student you are talking to
that upon graduation, something
has been accomplished," Dave
said. "Anything worth achieving
is

hard."

"As for the size of UK, I
don't believe that it's too large,"
Mathews said. "The only time
you are in contact with all 12,000
students is at a ball game, and
then all are not there."
"Actually, the University is
split into many small groups,
roughly about 130 in number,"
he said. "In these small groups,
a student can find his place."
Mathews 'told the committee
to impress upon any group they
spoke to that the university is
interested in the individual.
In discussing the third major
gripe of prospective students, that
of expense, Mathews said that
UK is reasonable in comparison
to other large Universities.

Draws 175 Donors
FirSt LexinSton Bleed-I- n Since WW I
Was Not Political Issue, Says Spradlin
By RON HERRON
Kernel Staff Writer
Lexington's first "bleed-in- "
since World War II saw 175
donors, mostly UK students, give
a total of 170 pints of blood
yesterday.
Held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
in Buell Armory, the bleed-i- n
was sponsored by UK Young
Americans for Freedom and administered by the Red Cross.
"It fell short of the registered
number of donors (250), but we
still consider it to be a fairly
good success," YAF president
Sam Spradlin said.
"The problem was that it had
political overtones, and that isn't
true at all. We're simply having
a war, and contrary to recent
reports, blood is needed, although
fractionated blood rather than
whole blood."
The blood will all be used
by American servicemen in Vietnam, some of whom are moved to
military
hospitals elsewhere.
Although the Red Cross serves
as an international organization,
national units are expected to
serve their own people, so the
Vietcong will not benefit from
Tuesday's bleed-in- .
Miss Wylie Willson, director
of services to military families
of the local Red Cross chapter,
explained that the blood will be
turned over to the Department
of Defense, which will fractionate
it and determine just where io
send it.
One YAF spokesman commented, "We don't feel it's in
the best interest of the United
States to donate blood to an

enemy."

but four or five of the
donors were students. Observers
noted that many wore HOTC
uniforms, as might be expected.
Some ROTC faculty members
also contributed.
All

Several doctors from the
Association of Blood Banks
donated their services in examining prospective donors for physical fitness. Only 10 failed the
tests. One of the doctors said that
about 20 percent usually failed
such tests.
Cookies, orange juice, and
coffee were served to donors at

however, and there were no signs
of political excitement.
Many of the bleeders explained their actions in political
terms. Typically though, one said
she was there because, "I support
President Johnson in his policies
in Vietnam."
Another claimed more humanitarian reasons: "I look at it as
a moral thing. Whether I support
the war in Vietnam has nothing
to do with it."

'Freedom Christmas'
Recruiting Students

Five major civil rights organizations are recruiting students to
spend a "Freedom Christmas" in the South over the holidays to
work in voter registration drives.
The Student Nonviolence Coordinating Committee, the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Congress for Racial Equality, and the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People are the organizations spearheading the drive.
Students who are accepted to work in the project will go to
North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama,
or Louisiana.
The student "Freedom Christmas" volunteers will work primarily in counties which have federal registrars under the Civil
Rights Act of 1965.
Project organizers are hopeful that the Christmas drive can
accomplish a great deal in a short time. The holiday drives were
planned since a summer drive would come too late for the primary
elections, which come as early as May 3 in some areas.
Recruiting and screening of applicants is being handled by the
National Student Association, but the final selection of the volunteers
will be made by the civil rights organizations themselves.
, Veterans of previous Southern projects and students from the
South who are familiar with the local areas are being especially
sought out.
The project expects between 300 and GOO students to participate
in the drive.

Students Ask President
To Overrule Suspension
By KENNETH GREEN

Associate Editor
HOW LI NO GH EF-Tim e
students at Western Kentucky
State College have filttl a Utter
to Western President Kelley
Thompson asking him to overrule the faculty decision which
ousted them last week.
The three Kobert Johns, Sam
Law son, and Frank Ilonasso, a!I
Western juniors w ere suspended
indefinitely last week allegedly
over an article which appeared
in an
magazine.
Skewer, which the three were
publishing.
The letter to Thompson asked
that the president overrule the
committee's decision. An alternative request was that he reinstate them temporarily pending
an inquiry into the matter by the
Board of Regents, therulingbody
at Western.

The three students said in the

letter that they "intended

no dis-

credit to Western" in publishing
the article, entitled "In Defense
of Morality."
The article dealt with the
"social practice of allowing males
complete sexual freedom while
requiring women to remain

chaste."

In announcing the ouster
Saturday, Western Dean of Students Charles Keown said that
the article was not obscene nor
did it use profane language, but
that it "was written in such a

In Louisville last night, the

Keep Up The Quality
We are pleased to see that included in the plans for Founders
Day festiv ities is another
formal dance.
It is indeed fitting that a University the size of this one have
a large formal social function for
students, faculty, administrators
and Lcxingtonians. Such affairs are
part of the classic college tradition.
Last year's Centennial Ball, the
first event of its kind in scores
of years, drew praise from all corners
of the Lexington and University
community, many of whom suggested that the dance be established
as an annual tradition.
In addition, proceeds from the
Ball made a healthy contribution
to the growing scholarship fund.
In the wake of a rash of sock
hops, jam sessions, and informal

dances, the formal Founders Day
Ball should be a welcome change
of pace. Its campuswide appeal
should help break down the image
that UK social life exists in disjointed small cliques. Students from
various social groups and some who
rarely join the campus social scene
at all attended last year's ball,
along with a substantial number
of alumni and Lexington residents.
We hope, in establishing the
ball as an annual event, future
planning committees will follow
some of the principles contained
in the first successful ball, including
the following:
1. Keeping the dance a formal
affair with maintenance of formal
dress standards and procurement
of a quality band.
2. Utilizing the entire Student
Center to limit crowding and providing several types of entertainment to suit various tastes.
3. Maintaining the low price for
student tickets so that a greater
number of students will be able
to afford to attend.
4. Appointing a joint planning
committee composed of students,
University faculty members to take
charge of the event.
UK, which sorely lacks tradition,
is on the verge of establishing a
worthy one, but care must betaken
not to let the annual Founders'
Day Ball sink to the level of another sock hop.

Letter To The Editor ;

Reader Reviews Opinion
On Regulations For Coeds
I am afraid that Karen Paul
completely missed the point of my
letter. I was not labeling UK coeds
as "too weak emotionally and
immature to uphold any moral convictions they might have" but
making an inference that the curfew, by its very nature does imply
this.
Miss Paul said the minds of AWS
members were on a "higher plane."
(Higher than what? Idealism? the
end of her own nose?) and that
"It seems more like a vision, responsibility and cooperation when
women work together to provide for
themselves" which sounds like
some communal project where
Wilma Coed does the Weaving,
Barbie Coed the badkin, and
Martha Coed the mopping. And
everyone is as happy as can be,
but what does this have to do with
girl's hours? I would ask Miss Paul
if the curfew is necessary for the
maintenance of this alleged, blissful
equilibrium? Miss Paul says, "We
of AWS are not preoccupied with
hiding from the real world, keeping
temptation from innocent freshmen
or having dorm hours to guard
against immorality," then what is
AWS preoccupied with?
I do agree with Miss Paul that
the women administrator at Illinois
was erroneous in stating, "I believe
Just as many would get pregnant if
they only let them out an hour a
day." I think there would be more

pregnancies because of the greater
haste.
She then says the signing out
procedure is a protective measure
against Lexington's high crime rate
where "girls in pairs" are not even
safe. That's true. When I walked
home one evening, I was beaten
twice, robbed once. Three weeks
later a domestic scuffle acrqss the
street ended in a husband blasting
his wife with a shotgun. I can't get
away from harsh realities of life,
and neither can AWS even if they
orbit residence halls and send
women to class in commuter
rockets.

If it can be proved to me that
most UK women want closing
hours, I will buy a hat and eat it.
I was optomistic concerning
Miss Paul and the future of AWS
for a few moments as I read her
letter as Miss Paul, already a senior,
took a great stumbling forward and
realized that "men and women are
different." I thought Miss Paul was
legs
pulling the 30,000 some-od- d
attending the university, but the
other day as I strolled across the
campus, I spied a striking UK coed
and noticed how marvellously the
Bible under her arm and the feet
in her mouth complemented her
snappy hoop skirt and the magnolia
blossoms in her shining hair

Everyman's Right
There are many ways of recording a country's history. One of
the more entertaining historical
panoramas is a recounting of
national fads. Marathon dancing in
the '30's, the "new look" of the
'40s, yo yos and hula hoops in the
'50's and skate boards and Beatles
in the '60's will all leave their mark
as one indication of the national
temperament in the 20th century.
The year 1965 marks the development of the newest national

One of the cornerstones of our

each man's right to his own

without fear of persecution.
Public obloquy is persecution as

It can be routed only by the

The validity or the absurdity of
actively expressing an opinion,
either pro or con, on the Vietnam
crisis, is not the question.
Why do we think it necessary
to categorize each person who has
an opinion? We seem to have forgotten that we are all individuals
and Americans, not necessarily
kooks, beards, or button-dow- n
collars.
We should be free to express our
opinions as citizens, not as members

Sen. Kennedy Drew Large Student Crowds
By JAMES SVARA

Collegiate Tress Seniec
AIRES Senator
BUENOS
Robert Kennedy sought maximum
exposure to student audiences
during his trip to South America.
In Buenos Aires on Nov. 19
a meeting was arranged with a
selected group of 3,000 students.
The location selected was the
Teatro San Martin a suitable
spot for a man who aspires to
be the Twentieth Century's agent
of social change in South America.
Surrounded by an unsavory horde
of reporters and cameramen,
Kennedy arrived for a "dialogue"
with the students.
The speech began with praise
of the glories of Argentina by
mentioning all the best names
from the past, but omitting any
mention of the last 20 years.
Then Kennedy repeated the
message stressed in all his student
speeches, "In every country a
revolution is coming. . .whether
we will it or not. We can change
its character, but not its inevitability." He challenged the
students to not use their education simply to gain a secure
social position.
Rather, they
should lead the revolution and
guide it along democratic, peaceful lines, he suggested.
The question and answer
session revealed how carefully
the group had been selected.
Considering the popularity of egg
throwing and caustic heckling at
such gatherings, it was amazing
that a "representative group" of
university students should not
even mention Vietnam or asked
pointed questions. In fact, at
times Kennedy had to volunteer
his polished replies to questions
which were not asked. The
senator showed that he was open
to differences of opinion over such
n
matters as the
g
force, and aid to

dictators, but did not attempt
to resolve those differences. He
pointed out that he had expressed
opposition to the occupation of
the Dominican Republic and
drew great applause.
The session with the students,
which lasted an hour, was the
longest, most serious public appearance Kennedy made during
his stay in Argentina. There were
private sessions with Argentine
and American personnel, interspersed with mob scenes in the
streets as Kennedy made contact
with his admirers. After the
buffeting of the crowds, the private sessions must have been like

How is one to react to
in
Kennedy's
performance
Buenos Aires? In my opinion,
with disappointment. It may be
naive to expect anything but a
political visit from a man in
his position. On the other hand,
because of Kennedy's position, a
different kind of trip was possible. Only a politician with his
assured popularity can afford the
luxury of a trip devoted to
learning through true dialogue.
The 20 camermen milled
around the stage in sullen disrespect for the speaker and the
audience. Although the television

machines further away from the urban poor by
insisting that the poor be given majority control
over community action poverty programs. This was
the tack successfully taken in New York City by
John V. Lindsay, and it could mean more big city
electoral dividends for the republicans.

Just back from a nation-wid- e
for the House Labor Committee, Coodell (an upstate New York Conservative) wants Republicans
to insist next year that the law give the poor
clear control over the program in the big cities.
His view: If control is left to city hall, it will
deteriorate into Just another welfare program.
The fact that almost all major city halls are
Democratic-controlle- d
is a major backdrop of the
Republican switch. So are the strong indications
that the Administration is bowing to city hall
pressure for tighter control of the program.
Result: By backing the poor and opposing city
hall, the Republicans pour more oil on the flaming
here and Demodispute between poverty-fighter- s
cratic politicians in the cities.
Led by Coodell, Republicans on the House
Labor Committee (which handles poverty legislation) will push an amendment requiring majority
control by the poor in poverty programs. Present
law simply requires maximum "feasible participation by the poor.
Politics aside, Coodell has studied the poverty
