To The Kernel MURRAY—Louie B. Nunn, in a major education speech here, has pledged to give a state in- come tax credit to all parents of college students. Speaking before approximate- ly 1,200 Murray State University students Sept. 29, Mr. Nunn, Republican candidate for gove- nor, also took a stand for aca- dennic freedom. "I am a firm believer in aca- demic freedom," he said. ”I think the classroom should not be in- terfered with." Mr. Nunn said he believed in "the right of students to ex- press themselves, except as these expressions would abridge the rights of other students or would interfere with the academic cli- mate of the University. Would Consult Students ”I believe students should be consulted in matters appropriate to their interests." Besides offering the income tax credit to the parents of col- lege students, Mr. Nunn pledged to offer similar incentives to bus- inesses and corporations which ofler scholarships to college stu- dents. Mr. Nunn blamed the prob- lems of education in Kentucky today on political intervention in the past. ”Any domination of a school should come from that school's No U.S. Student Group Pushes ‘Dump Johnson The Collegiate Press Service WASHINGTON-There is no national student-”dump johnson" movement. Although hundreds of college student body presidents and editors signed anti-Johnson petitions this summer, an informal CPS survey of groups most likely to promote suchacampaign reveals that there are individual state efforts but nothing on a national level. The group most likely to form such a movement is the Altena- tive Candidate Taskforce, known as ACT '68, which got its_ start at last month's National Student Association Congress when 500 delegates, many of them student body presidents, sigrned an anti- LB] petition. Later 100 college editors at the US. Student Press Association Congress also sigrned the petition. it was hoped that the effort would become a na- tional anti-Johnson campaign. But Sam Brown, a Harvard Divinity School student who took over ACT '68 after he was nar- rowly defeated for the presidency of NSA, says his group is almost defunct as a national movement. “We have decided that the shape action will take has to be determined in the individual states," says Brown. ”What we want to do is energize groups to start working in the states." Groups In Several States Brown says student groups working to ”dumpjohnson" have already been formed in New York and Wisconsin, and that a group will probably be set up in Cali- fornia soon. David Hawk, who is working full-time in New York for ACT '68 and the Campus Coordinat— ing Organization founded by the group of student body presidents that sent a letter to the President last Spring calling an end to the war in Vietnam, says the problem is money. He believes ACT '68 will survive, however. “i think we'll be able to stmggle by for a while," he said. ”Then, when we begin to get organized and become known, money will start to come in." Hawk said ACT '68 has been offered funds by supporters of Gen. james Cavin, but has turned them down. "We don't want to be tied to a particular candidate," he says.

Cooper Joins ‘Peaee Movement’ WASHINGTON (UPfié-Sen John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky.) added his voice Monday to a growing Republican "peace" movement with a renewed call for an unconditional halt to US. bombing of North Vietnam. Cooper, a former ambassador and member of the Senate Fore- , ign Relations Committee, told the Senate the first steptoward peace lies not with Hanoi—as Presi- dent Johnson declared last week—but ”in the choice and control of our country." ”The necessity of a cessation of bombing is becoming a world- wide judgment," he said. ”It is one which the United States cannot ignore.” Cooper was joined on the Sen- ate floor by Sen. Charles H. Percy (R-Ill.) who accused the President of trying to discredit his war critics by suggestingthey favor unilateral withdrawal from Vietnam. Problem '15 With A Majority' ”The President's problem is with the vast majority who are dissatisfied with his performance in Vietnam, not with the 10 per- cent who urge withdrawal,” Percy said. Mr. Johnson's mistakes, he said, include ”his failure to under- stand that widespread dissent in- dicates something may be wrong with his policy, rather than with his critics." The speeches coincided with publication of a report by polls- ter Louis Harris that public sup— port of the President's handling of the war and of the war ef- fort itself both had sunk to the lowest point in nearly a year and one—half. The Harris survey in the Wash- ington Post ShOWed that only 31 percent approved Mr. Iohnson's handling ofthe war in September, an alHime low, compared with 33 percent in August and 46 percent in June. 58 Percent Support War A majority of the public still support the war itself, Harris said, but the 58 percent figure for September was the lowest listed since May, 1966, and was down from a peak of 77 percent last November. Evidence of an attempt by moderate Republicans to give the COPa “peace" image before the 1968 elections was reinforced dur- ing the weekend. Sens. Thruston B. Morton of Kentucky and Mark O. Hatfield of Oregon said they did not be- lieve a Republican war ”hawk" would be nominated or elected President. Morton especially is known to believethe Republicans' chances next year lie in offering a better choice than more bomb- mg. The moderates apparently are convinced a ”peace" stance is worth the risk of reviving the lib- eral-conservative convention bat- tle of 1%4. Draft Counsel "Service’s Request For Student Center Space Denied The Student Center Board Monday night rejected a bid by the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) to set up and main- tain a ”draft counsel" office to advise students of legal rights. The board instead will suggest to SDS that it reserve space for the drafl service on a periodic basis, and maintain regular of- fice hours. A limitinglack of space was blamed for the action. ”The Student Center Activi— ties Board can’t even get space in the building," said SUB Board member Les Rosenbaum. uThe SDS did not apply for space un— til this semester, and we assign space on a first-come, first-ser- ved basis. " But after the meeting, Bill Eigel, president ofthe board, told The Kernel that rejection of the SDS request came about because "it (the SDS draft counsel ser- vice) was a program of an or- ganization, and we didn't care to allocate space to organization- al programs. ‘Would Have 50 Million' ”If we did," said Eigel, ”We would end up with 50 million organizational programs wanting permanent space." Eigel saidthe board will suggest to SDS that it either reserve a meeting room for the service or maintain a display similar to what the MarineCorps and Navy set up. Eigel said the board did not want to set itself up as censor. He added, however, that the board intends to consult Jack Hall and joe Burch, of the Office of Student Affairs, to see what rights the Board has in barring acti- vities from the Student Center that the Board feels would ”be of harm." “Are we legally, are we mor- ally responsible?" questioned Ei- gel. Board member Rosenbaum said he understood that the SDS office would advise a student on For Smoother Ride what is required to be a con- scientious objector. He also said SDS would want the office not just for the semes- ter, but for the summer as well. ”But the spacelimitations hinder us in allocating the space," he said. Rosenbaum is a member of the Student Center Executive Board, a body rmde up of the officers of the SC Board and the body that actually allocates space to organizations on a regular, permanent basis.

Rosh Hashanah, Oct. 56 begins the Jewish calendar year 5728. During the two days, Jew- ish students will assemblein syn- agogues to delcare past conduct and pray for forgiveness. (Campus religious adviser to Jewish students, Rabbi William Lefller of Temple Adath Israel, welcomes students to celebrate the holidays at his synagogue. The Ohavey Zion Synagoguealso welcomes students to attend.) A minor holiday follows the two-day New Year celebration. Then comes Yom Kippur, Oct. 14, the most sacred day of the Hebrew year. The Jewish belief is that from sundown to sundown on this Day of Atonement, Cod dispenses judgment to individ- uals. UK students celebrate Suk- kot, Oct. 19-26, in synagogues or in Lexington Jewish homes. There they decorate wooden lat- tice frames with various fruits and vegetables, cornstalks and fall leaves. These commemorate the flimsy booths that Israelites lived in during their scriptural desert wanderings.

Superspider Lurking, Entomologists Warn n. Ansel-ta PM A spidc possibly more dangerous than the famed black widow has been found in 12 Kentucky counties, and three persons may have been bitten. UK entomologists said thespi- der’s venom is strong enough, in some cases, to kill a baby or a small child. In addition, they said, areas around a bite from the “brown recluse" blister. Flesh may break dOWn, and a type of gangrene can set in. So far, the spider has been found in Carlisle, Ballard, Callo- way, Fulton, Graves, Marshall and McCracken counties in the Purchase area and in Butler, 10- gan, Allen, Warren and Simpson counties further east. Three Bites Recorded Three human bites have been reported, but not confirmed, en- tomologists said. The spider is one-fourth to one-half inch across, including body and leg spread, has eight legs and ranges in color from tan to a chocolate brown. On his back is a dark brown or black mrk the shape of a violin, eam- ing him the nickname of "fidd- ler." The University Entomologists said the spiders usually are very shy of light, hiding in dark places. “Your chance of getting bitten are slight unless you go poking about dark corners under rafters, sills, crevices or in dark, dry places like attics or closets," Dr. Lee Townsend, UK entomol- ogist, said. The brown recluse has been known in some midwestem states and a few in the south, “but he was not identified in Kentucky," Dr. Townsend said. , ”Why he’s suddenly turned ~up, we don't know," he added.

The next day, Simchat Tor- ah, marks the end of the booth festival. The yearly reading of the five books of Jewish law, the Torah, is completed and be- gun again on this day. Of the Jewish year's 10 holi- days following the October cele- brations, Hanukah, Dec. 27-Jan. 3, and Pesach, April 13—20, are the most important, according to Rabbi Lefler. During Hanukah, the libera- tion of a Jewish temple from Sy- rian conquerors is celebrated. Most UK-Jews celebrate at home during vacation by burning a candle each of Hanukah's eight days. Pesach commemorates the Jews' exodus from Egyptian slav- a'y with the traditional Seder meal. Themealof symbolic foods, served at synagogues and Jewish homes, is accompanied by read- ings from the Haggadah, a book about the Jewish liberation from slavery. More Than One School A Day By FRANK SWOBODA WASHINGTON (UPI) — Dramatic innovations are needed to upgrade the nation's educa- tional system—even to having school students attend more than one school a day, Education Commissioner Har- old Howe II, has said. He said lack of money re- mains the big current problem for schools, but that without some solid new ideas in the field, even twice the money might be dissipated wastefully. Addressing the Urban Schools Conference, Mr. Howe also sug- gested such departures as re- ducing the size of classes to 20 students by letting the young- sters attend for a half—day and spend the other half on such things as laboratory work and field trips. The head of the US Oflice of EduCatidn did not spell out just how the shifting of students among different schools would work. But he said “the ad- vantages might include a strong- er curriculum, the elimination of duplication, and instant de- segreation." The suggestion was one of several Mr. Howe threw out as being the kind of ideas that need testing out toward re- vitalizing the schools. Presum- ably the shifting could be along lines of college consortiums. under which students enroll at one school but have access to classes in others in the area. New Ideas Needed “We desperately need new ideas if we are to solve the financial as well as social prob- lems of the cities," Mr. Howe said. He urged city school systems to examine what is being done in other areas that they might adopt. He added: “I would remind you that what might be a rousing success in San Francisco may not work at all in Detroit; that what flops miserably in Atlanta may be the answer for Rochester.” Mr. Howe also suggested that space in schools be rented to groceries and other shops where students could work part-time, and to artisans who would be subsidized to spend part of their time each day teaching youngsters their skills. As for part—time schooling, Mr. Howe said: “It seems to me a strange affair to require every boy and girl to be full-time matriculating students without regard to individual needs, in- terests and problems-and to of- fer part-time programs to young- sters only when they have en— countered such social disasters as pregnancy or jail." He said another need is for programs to stir up more in- terest in education on the part of parents and community leaders. “I offer these suggestions more as examples of the kind of thinking we need to do about the problems we have in our schools than as complete pre- scriptions for immediate suc- cess,” Mr. Howe said. “I am thinking of the neces- sitv of developing approaches and techniques capable of help- ing us deal with an array of challenges and situations "that are without precedent in Amer- ican society —- challenges and situations that are most dra- matically apparent in the cities." Far-Ranging ‘Identity’ Forum Scheduled At Rensselaer - Special 1‘. The Kernel TROY. N. Y.——Drugs, freedom of expression, self and sex, con- formity versus the corporation.

Conformity and the establishment of per- sonal values in student life pre- sents an opportunity for students to discuss questions relevant to social conflicts and identity or conformity.

Society and the individual, or personal values in society, of- fers discussion relating to a search for identity. The search has taken the form of the use of hallucinatory'drugs, free- dom of sexual expression, the supremacy of personal con- science from war and racism, and breaking accepted social behavior by experiment and ex- perience. Neil Elfin of Newsweek will provide a summation of the Identity '67 forum Oct. 21. “We at RPI have set our sights on showing the way for student involvement.

Mr. F etterman is a writer for the Louisvilie Courier-Journal and author of “Stinking Creek," a current book portraying life in a small Eastern Kentucky com- munity. "If you want to change the mountain peOple, you will haveto take a very close look at them," he said. Mr. Fetterman himself took a close look at mountain people in order to 'write ”Stinking Creek." During vacations he lived in a small mountain community near Barbourville, Knox County, get- ting to know the people. As a result, he found traits he admired in mountaineers. But these same traits, he said, often caused outsiders to misunder- stand them. Rapect Promises The moamtaineer has a “tre- mendous respect for the pledged word—the promise," he said. A mountaineer often may hedge ra- ther than promise, because if he promises he means it, Mr. Fet- terman said. People are misled by the ”na- tural hospitality" of the ”court— eous, curiousn hillbilly, he said, adding that the mountaineer is individualistic. "If you look at his history, nothing has changed him. He changes those who come in to change him," Mr. Fetter- rnan said. In religion, the mountaineer is fundamentalist, and he has stayed with his religion through all changes, he said. ”He is a man of great pa- tience," Mr. Fetterman con- tinued. His patience may explain his reaction to the mountain po- litics “which have promised him everything, but given him noth- mg. Sam Howie, VISTA volun- teer with the Appalachian Vol- unteers program in Harlan Coun- ty, also spoke and agreed with Fetterman that the mountaineer tends to change the people who come into the area to change him. JOHN FEI'TERMAN Mr. Howie, who is working with the Harlan County Educa- tional Outpost, a community ac- tion program, feels that his job has taught him more about the people than he has taught them about anything. He said government programs will not change the mountaineer if they attempt to do so by seduc- ing him away from “the way of life he knows, loves and appre- ciates." VISTA programs do not at- tempt to change the culture of mountain people, he said. Rather, they attempt to get people to want to change the things they themselves think need changing. No U. 5.

It may not be able to use a call for Johnson's defeat as adrawing card, however. Last week, ADA, the campus group's parent organization, voted down a “dump Johnson" resolution at a national board meeting in Washington. Decline Being ‘Eunuchs' When asked if that vote would hamper CADA's freedom, the group's national chairman, Elliott Abrams of Harvard, said ”we will not be eunuchs." Craig Pregillus, national di- rector of CADA, said Abrams' statement meant that CADA would remain flexible on the question of a "dump Johnson" program. “We can't officially endorse a ‘dump Johnson’ program," he explained, “but that doesn't mean that CADA people won't par— ticipate in such programs on in- dividual campuses." Pregillus indicated that the question of CADA’s freedom to work against Johnson in spite of the parent organization's policy would be debated at theCADA’s national board meeting Oct. 21.

Petitioner Holwerk Reeom By DAVID HOLWERK Early this summer I worked at a table for Negotiation Nowl, the national com— mittee to halt the bombing of North Viet- nam with an eye toward a negotiated settlement of that bloody and confusing conflict. The national sponsors of the com- mittee include many of the most promin- ent men in the country, and the petition itself is so mildy worded that my only worry was that some people who might otherwise sign it would find thedocument too bland or unincisive. Indeed, I expect no real opposition to our petition booth in the basement of the Student Center, even from those who did not agree with our views. And there was nothing like the red-baiting which invar- iably accompanies any SDS display the same spot. waiting for since last year. The thing? A 15-minute break between classes. Students first presented their request at the winter meeting of the University Senate, and it was granted last spring. ‘ Along with the break, of course, came the revised class schedule to retain 50-minute class periods, but at least we do not get the feeling that we are in training for the Olympic games while we travel from one class to another. Unless, of course, we have to "go from the Music Building to Dabney Hall. Daily Beacon University of Tennessee What was appalling, in fact, was the total lack of interest which was shown in our table. Even though the area was packed due to F reshimn orientation, not over a dozen people signed our lists while I was present. One girl did show a vague interest, coming over to ask what we were doing. Her father, a massive man on crutches quickly intervened; holding his left crutch in his right arm and grabbing his daughter with his left hand, he rapidly steered her down the hall. ”I'll tell you all you need to know about that," he said. Not far away a young man had re- joined his parents after a hectic day of being oriented. "How was it, Jack," his mother asked. ”Ahh," he replied, lightingacigarette. “Hey, Thar’s Gold In Them Thar Hills!” Do you want to get somethingto eat?" "Ahh, I don’t care." “Well where would you like to go?" “Ahh, leave me alone, won't you," her son growled, moving off in the di- rection of the bathroom. ”I don't know why he’s so hateful," his mother said to his father; And, then looking at us, ”But at least he's not likethem." Two weeks ago I worked at another Negotiation Now! table in the same spot. There was more interest this time. A young lieutenant in the Army Reserves, who had served in Vietnam refused to sign the pe- tition because he favored a complete pull out rather than a bombing halt. Several people stopped to ask intelligent questions Readers Write: About Classes In A Church To The Editor Of The Kernel: Due to a colossal lack of planning this university apparenty lacks a lecture ball, so the large beginning classes are held in the church across the street, where lighting is inadequate, there are no writing boards on the chairs, and where they stumble over students to get up a pro- jector on top of a board, which they set on top of the seatsinfront of the students.
