Nunn Calls For State Tax Credits
For Parents Of College Students

Snob! 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.

In order to help upgrade Ken-

Sen. 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 First Of Six October Holidays

 

Jewish Students Will Celebrate Sacred Days 2

By SUE ANNE SALMON
The Jewish New Year, Rosh
Hashanah 5728, is the first of six
religious holidays that the Uni-
versity's nearly 250 Jewish stu-
dents will celebrate this month.
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 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

TROY. N. Y.——Drugs, freedom of expression, self and sex, con-

These are the issues to
be discussed at Identity '67,

RPI students will be joined
by students from Heidelberg,
Oxford, McCill, Tulane, Stan-

West Point, CCNY, MIT and
Skidmore and Oberlin Colleges.

“This is an attempt to place
our (the students") thoughts be—
fore the public and to acquire
knowledge related to why and
what they expect of'us," campus
leader John Lay says. “By in-
viting a cross section of uni-
versities and by getting partici-
pation of the student leaders
from several universities in
other countries, we may be able
to point the way for future
trends in education and society.”

Three categories provide the
rationale for topics. 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.

Conflict of personality and
profit provides the occasion, for
students to have dialogue relat-
ing to self-identity in corpora-
tion life and furnishes the
ground for discussion of ethical
questions of the individual
versus the corporation.

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. Others
may and we hope will follow
this lead.” savs Student Union

EaStern Kentucky Is
People,Fetterrnan Says

“When you talk about East-
ern Kentucky, you have to talk
about the peOple,” John Fetter-
man said last night at the third
lecture of the YMCA Action
Forum Series.

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.

It may not be able to use a call

Last week, ADA, the campus

voted down a “dump Johnson"
resolution at a national board
meeting in Washington.

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

“We can't officially endorse

Another Veep Is Needed

Up comes the problem of the
Wall, again. Now there are certain
groups on campus which see fit to
blot out large sections of the edi-
fice in order that they may paint
their own messages more attractive-
ly on it.

Certainly that raises questions
of free expression and priorities.
Who comes first? How much space

shall he have? How long shall the
medium retain his message? Weigh-
ty problems, these.

‘ One solution seems feasible: Ap-
point another vice president. Call
him Vice President Number Seven
In Charge of Important Messages
on The Wall. Someone to handle
the gravity of the situation. And
besides, you can never have too
many vice presidents.

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.

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.
I don’t blame the profs; what else could
they do?

But do we have to put up with the
deafening lawn mowers outside the doors
and that danm phone back stage that
gives a long, persistent series of rings
several times during the hour. Who is
calling whom?

But wait! The guy beside me said
they built a beautiful lecture hall in the
new Agricultural Science Center a couple
years ago. “You know," he says, "down
there were they don't have any students
any more." Due to declining enrollment
in agriculture they use it mainly to tell
cattle herds how to give milk. Maybe
it could be used for some of the big
