ifadeMs Begin March In Ad Bid.
.Kirwan Refuses Student Demands
By

DOTTIE BEAN

and JEANNIE LEEDOM
Kernel Staff Writers
More than 1,000 students and faculty
began marching single (lie through the
Administration Building shortly before
noon today after Dr. A. D. Kirwan, interim president, refused to address the
gathering or reconsider their demands.
According to Guy Mendes, one of five
student representatives who met with the
president, "Dr. Kirwan said, "The students
have concerned themselves with something they should not be concerned

with"

Linda Bailey, another representative,
said Dr. Kirwan would not side with the
"passionate demands of an ad hoc student group."
The students, who had started to
gather before 10 a.m., began to march
through the front door of the building,
turn to their left, march up the steps
to a higher floor, cross that floor, march
down the
steps and back out
the front door again.
The students apparently decided to
continue this process until their demands
are met.
committee addressed
The
the crowd at 10:30 before going inside
the Administration Building to discuss
their demands that the four students
suspended Monday by the Appeals Board
be reinstated immediately.
The group did not get to meet with
Dr. Kirwan until 11 a.m., however, because Dr. Kirwan reportedly was holding
a cabinet meeting.

"Predecided"
Thorn Pat Juul was the first of the
n
committee to leave the meeting
with Dr. Kirwan. He left the building
about 11:10, but did not address the crowd.
He later explained that it was obvious
Dr. Kirwan had "predecided" before students "opened their mouths."
The four students, who have become
a symbol for the rallies, were arrested
April 13 in three early morning drug
raids. Five students were suspended by
Acting Vice President for Student Affairs
Dr. Stuart Forth, but the Appeals Board
upheld the suspensions of only four of these
students.
In addressing the group this morning,
Dr. Forth said, "When a student comes
five-ma-

here he agrees to abide by the rules of
the University. We don't change those
rules in the middle of the game."
"Our (the administration's) action is
not only legal, but it is for the total
health and
of the whole University."
Dean of Students Jack Hall was the
only other administrator to address the
group. He answered questions about the
administration's attitudes toward thepro-pose- d
march.
The administration obviously wasgen-erall- y
cold to the idea, but willing to
tolerate an orderly march through the
building.
Futrell Opposes
Newly elected president of Student
Government Tim Futrell told the group
that "walking through the building will
not get anything accomplished."
"Go through the proper channels because walking through the building is
obstructing the business of the adminiswell-bein- g

tration."

Dr. Thomas Olshewski, philosophy,
told the group earlier that the Student
Affairs Committee of the University Senate
last night supported the students' demand
for reinstatement and a change in the
Student Code.
There seemed to be internal conflict
in the students' ranks today as to the
exact action to take if Dr. Kirwan refused
the demands. The dissension appeared
even in the ranks of the
committee.
In another development, an ad hoc
Committee for the Preservation of Student
Rights formed in opposition to the student
group.
"Protect your rights. Defend the Student Code against those who would render
it useless and allow the University to
degenerate into a sanctuary for malcontents and social undesirables," the leaflet
being handed out near theAdministration
Building reads.
The original ad hoc student committee
was formed Wednesday night at a mass
rally at the Student Center. About 1,000
students attended.
Today's action came after repeated
efforts Thursday to have the students
demands met.
At the culmination of Thursday's
events, some 3,000 students rallied at the
Complex Commons to show mounting

strength in the face of administrative
and University Senate inaction.
The Complex rally, actually the con.

clusion of a march from the Student
Center Grille, focused on tactics for today's meeting in front of the Administration Building. Students across campus
joined the march to the Complex and the
mass rally, which ended about 11 p.m.

with "the meeting of the

President A. D. Kirwan in theAdministration Building.
Students began forming in front of the
Administration Building about 3:15 in
anticipation of Dr. Kirwan' s reaction to
the demand that the four students suspended on drug charges be reinstated. By
3:30, when the student committee returned
from the meeting with Dr. Kirwan, about
2,000 students and faculty were present.
Kirwan Releases Statement
In a prepared statement, read to the
group by Guy Mendes, one of the five
committeemen. Dr. Kirwan said that while
he was " acutely aware of student interest
and concern," he "could find no basis

by the Acting Vice President (for Student
Affairs, Dr. Stuart Forth) and recommended by the Appeals Board."
"I shall be more than willing to work
with you on improving University regulations and know that the faculty and administration are equally willing to do so,"
the statement read.
Student reaction to Dr. Kirwan' s statement was negative.
The five members of the committee,,
who, in addition to'Mende'sare Linda
Bailey, Thorn Pat Juul, Mike Fanner and
Goeffrey Pope, then led the students to
the Law Building, where the University
Senate was meeting.
(Juul is titular leader of Students for
Action and Responsibility and present
Student Government representative. Miss
Bailey is a retiring representative. Farmer
is former student ombudsman. Pope is
leader of CARSA and Mendes is managing editor of the Kernel.)
Confrontation
The only confrontation between marchers and onlookers occurred when the group
arrived at the Law Building. About 75
law students, standing on the building
porch, began heckling the demonstrators.
Sheryl Snyder, student member of the
University Senate, introduced the proposed change in the Student Code drawn
up at the ad hoc student meeting Wednesday night after the senate voted to waive
most of the agenda. The meeting was
ca"ed specially to consider the proposed
Bill of Rights, but the topic was never
discussed.
After debating the proposal for about
one and a half hours, the senate referred
it to the Student Affairs Committee and
asked that the committee report back to
the senate for action within a week.
Vote was 89 to 58.
Dr. Michael Adelstein, chairman of the
Student Affairs Committee, said he did
not think any change should be made in
the code at this time because of the
complexity of the issue, adding that "we
sympathize with the students and would
recommend that the senate ask for the reinstatement of the four students."
Resolution Fails
Dr. Harry Bohannan, dean of the
College of Dentistry', introduced into the
senate a resolution recommending that
the students be reinstated immediately.
The resolution failed after a voice vote.
It apparently was the feeling of the
senate that passing the resolution would
be a contradiction of its decision not to
change the Student Code at that time.
The provisions of the code are therefore
still in effect, and Dr. Forth acted under
those provisions, some senators argued.

'Reinstatement Now:' Students Decide Tactics
Continued from Tage One
The senate did vote to have
its secretary remind the professors of the four students that
University regulations require
that the students should receive
incompletes rather than E' sin the
courses.
Before the motion on incompletes had been voted on, the
student committee
left the
Law College courtroom to meet with the

students, still numbering about
GOO, in the amphitheater behind
Memorial Hall.
Move To Maxwell
Discussion at the amphitheater centered around what to do
next. It was decided thatMendes
and Juul would pursue, with A
lawyer, the possibility of obtaining a restraining order against
the University, thus hopefully
permitting the temporary reinstatement of the students.
A motion was made for a boycott of classes today, but it was
decided that direct action should
be taken by marching to Maxwell Place, where Dr. Kirwan
was entertaining Omicron Delta
Kappa members.
About 400 students completed
the march and gathered in front

meeting today in the Student
Center with the committee.
Revisions Unacceptable
Dr. Hammaker told the students that their proposed revision of the Student Code probably would not be accepted by
the committee as written. "I
don't think we can say right
now what they (the senators)
would accept."
The whole group quickly
moved into a discussion of tactics to be used if Dr. Kirwan
does not reinstate the students
today.
Farmer outlined the following proposals: wait until the
senate meets at 7 p.m. April 28
to hear the Student Affairs Committee report, hold a silent vigil
starting Thursday night in front
of the Administration Building
and continuing until the students
are reinstated, move into the
Administration Building in a continuous march through the halls,
hold a peaceful
in the Administration Building and take
the building and evict the administrators.
There was clear sentiment in

of the covered walkway from the
house, now used for formal entertaining by the Kirwans.
Trespassing

It was first reported that Dr.

Kirwan would address the group,
but Jack Hall, dean of students,
later reported that Dr. Kirwan
did not want to leave his guests.
He also said Dr. Kirwan had
nothing to say to the students
other than the statement he wrote
and which Mendeshad read earlier in the day in front of the Administration Building.
D ean Hall told the students
they were trespassing and, although no formal statement had
been issued, that they should
leave the home. The students
then decided to meet at the Student Center at 8 p.m. for further
discussion.
Dr. Thomas Olshewsky, philosophy, Dr. E. M. Hammaker,
chemistry, and Dr. Richard
Hanau, physics, members of the
Student Affairs Committee of the
senate, addressed the group, explaining the senate action and
informing them of a 4 p.m. open

it all year long. Today's persuasive tactics haven't worked. It is
time we thought of something a
little more dynamic."
Don Pratt, former student,
warned about the four students.
"They are our symbols," hesaid,
"But they are also human beings."
A proposal was then made
that the meeting be moved to the
complex to involve more students
in the discussion. A march past
the women's dorms, Haggin and
Donovan halls and to the complex
was proposed.
The first uniformed policemen
of the day made their appearance
at the Complex, where the only
opposition to the meeting seemed
to come from the football dorm.
The discussion of tactics was
again brought before the group,
and it was decided to postpone
decision on the matter until the
decision of Dr. Kirwan is known.
"If they know what we are
going to do they will be prepared
for us," Dave Blair said.
The decision was made to
appear in mass before the Administration Building at 9 a.m.
today and then march around
campus in an effort to enlist
more students in the cause.

Governor Louie B. Nunn has turned down a request by the UK
chapter of Students for a Democratic Society to meet in "open
dialogue" with the participants of the Republican Governors Association conference in Lexington next week.
Nunn said his heavy schedule during the conference will not

In the letter sent to Nunn the SDS steering committee maintained that such a meeting "could be mutually beneficial" even
though SDS members and the GOP governors "probably hold

Dillard Support

The possible loss of sponsorship for Dillard House, a progressive
experiment in living, should be cause for alarm within the University
community.
Dillard House, by its relatively unstructured living arrangements,
including cooperative, coeducational and interracial features, is in the
best spirit of higher education. It represents a search for new and better
y
ways of living and encourages intellectual stimulation on a
basis.
Such an experiment should not be allowed to die just for lack of
a sponsoring agency. Support must be found somewhere from the
University itself as a last resort.

Antistudent City
To the Editor of the Kernel:
Re: editorial in April 16th
evening edition
of The Lexington Leader entitled "UK
Moves to Protect the Public."
The student body has been grossly
insulted by this blatant slap in the face
from the "good citizens" of Lexington,
as represented by their editorialist. No
matter whether Greek, leftist or indifferent, we have once again been deemed
as less than citizens. An obvious and disgraceful violation of student rights as
supposedly guaranteed in the Student
Code has been highly praised by the
editor. Five students, on the basis of
charges alone, were suspended.
The University, or more specifically, Dr.
Stuart Forth, has taken the powers of
judge, Jury and executioner over these
students and found them guilty.
However, the good citizens are not
satisfied with merely knowing action has
been taken. They would deny the students
even the protection of anonyminity. The
writer feels that the Lexington public
should be told the names of the offending
degenerates, although why he feels this is
necessary is never made quite clear. In fact,
it is never made clear why the city of
Lexington, complete with Chief Hale and
God on their side, feels it needs to be
"protected" from five young people.
An equally alarming aspect of the article, aside from praising students' rights
violations, is evident in the insidious jabs
at the lack of screening of UK students.
The editorialist feels that the students'
actions were a result of irresponsible upbringing and suggests that UK should

Greekies
The SG elections of April

9 were
crooked. Scott Richmond and Thorn Juul
and you and I all know that.
Many people saw Greekies go up to
other Greekies with Greekie sheets. Lots
of us saw the Greekies doing this as ballots were being marked. Some poll workers
handed out Greekie sheets with the ballots.
Many Greekies just copied the names
off the little yellow paper. ID's were
fooled around with and rules concerning
their use were unclear. Candidates of all
persuasions electioneered within 50 feet
of the polls.
The unused ballots were fooledaround
with too, perhaps by those poll workers
who earlier had sported "Futrell-Gwinn- "
buttons along with their pretty Greekie
pins.
The Greeks were the perpetrators of
most of the crookedness, and, in upholding the results of this election, the
has done students a great disservice. I'm
not splitting hairs; the sweep of the Dynamic Executioners and their Fleet Administrators was due largely to tactics
that even Mayor Daley could be proud

of.

Unless a standard code is established
for these elections, I would advise that
Greekie pins be used for voting identification and that ballot boxes be guarded

by pledges and clearly marked,
