Student Bar Elections Protested
By JEAN RENAKER
and DALE MATTHEWS
Kernel Staff Writers
A series of elections for first
year representative to the Student Bar Association (SBA) at
the College of Law has finally
resulted in the election of John
McCarvey.
The outgrowth of the series
of elections, however, is a series
of controversies concerning the
and adconstitution,
ministration of the SBA.
According to Marv Rudnick,
second-yea- r
law student, the
main issue at stake is whether
a certain group of people (SBA
members - in - good - standing)
should be allowed to make decisions for the entire law school.

Fox's statement adds that the

The NSA is not 'requesting,' it

In the Oct. 2 opinion which

An amendment which would
have allowed students to vote on
class representatives and official

of whether they had paid their

amendment had been attached
which would have given the
Board of Governors the right to
determine which elections should
involve all students, and which
elections should be open only to
SBA members.
A second election for first-yerepresentative was held Tuesday,
but no candidate received a majority of votes. Black, who was

He was also not a candidate

Land Reclamation Mining Practices Debated
By JANICE S. FRANCIS

;

Kernel Staff Writer
Land reclamation and mining
practices were debated Wednesday night as part of the Holmes
Hall Forum Series.
Ted Haley, assistant professor
in the Department of Civil
Engineering, presented the argument for improvements which
have been made in land reclamation since passage of the 19G6
reclamation law.
Outlining the processes of
strip mining, punch mining, and
augering, Haley commented:
"Augering violates all principals of mining. In some places,
operators have gone into virgin
areas and perforated an outcrop..
Then the roof comes in and no

other mining can be done. There
is clearly a place for augering,-bu- t
it must be used properly and
conscientiously."
Bond Required
Under the. 19G6 reclamation
law, mine operators are required
to post from $100 to 500 bond
on each project. After all mine
land has been fertilized and
seeded, the bond is released.
According to Haley, the
holding of the bond until reclamation is completed, insures
good performance on the part
of mine operators.
"Last year, more siltation was
caused by highway construction
and farmers than by mining,".
Haley said. "At least we (the.
mine industry) are trying. Strip

mines are required to put in
siltation dams. . The farmers and
contractors are not."
Since 1906, Haley added, incidents, of slides have been reduced by 90 percent.
Truck Weights Questioned
As for overloaded trucks, the
civil engineering professor admitted their presence and resulting damage to Eastern Kentucky's mountainous roads.
"No one can deny that 100,000
pounds (the gross weight of
trucks) is too much to
put on those roads," he stated.
"The weight limit should be
cut to 70,000 pounds and a fourth ;
axle should be added to allow
the weight to be spread onto the
highway more evenly. Also, the
roads which presently have four
inches of gravel and one inch of
asphalt need six to eight inches

of gravel and three to four inches
of asphalt."
Robert Kuehne, associate professor ' of zoology, countered
arguments by comHaley's

'fudge' on correcting the slope of
spoil banks, leads tofurtherskep-ticisabout the mining industry," said Kuehne.
"We're hooked on progress,"
he stated, "and our present attitudes of consumption are degrading our environment. I think
a state moratorium on strip mining is needed."
"The power production of the
United States increases at the
rate of 8 percent per year," continued Kuehne." That dwarfs any
population explosion. Severe environmental damage 20 to 30
years from now is the price we
will have to pay for progress,
for happiness. At 8 percent per
year, our bodies should be surging
with happiness."
Kuehne agreed with Haley
that since 19G6 some reclamation
improvements have taken place
In Eastern Kentucky. However,
he also stated that present efforts
are not good enough.
The debate, which included
slides of mining processes and
reclaimed land, was presented
in the lobby of Holmes Hall.

* Peace Symbol Clarified
The "Independent Review" ran
an article in its recent introductory
edition concerning the peace symbol which was not only falacious,
but was also a prime example of
frightened right wing propaganda
designed to alienate parents from
their children.
The "Independent
Review,"
which is the published voice of
Save Kentucky's Education Institutions (SKEI), qualifies as little
better than a third rate rag.
The article previously refered
to claims, "The New Yorker says
the emblem (peace symbol) was
adopted by various youth organizations on direct orders from the
Communist Party." It seems that
this is part of a long range plan
"To encourage youth to express
contempt for adults, for authority,
and for the ideals that built the
United States."
The article also suggests that
the peace symbol has never been
associated with peace, but rather
it is "An ancient sign of evil known
as the broken cross."
That the peace symbol was introduced to this country or to "various youth organizations" by the
Communist party is patently absurd. The various youth organizations in this country are invariably
poorly organized, greatly splintered
on ideology and tactics, and, most
importantly, they take "orders"
from no one. This was pointed out
in a recent FBI report.
That the peace symbol is part
of a plan to encourage contempt
for adults, authority and the founding ideals of the U.S., is patently
absurd. The only way that
symbol could possibly be a
of contempt for those mensign
tioned would be if adults in general, authority in its recognized
form and our founding ideals were
all diametrically opposed to peace.
That does not seem to be the case.
Thirdly, the article suggests that
the peace symbol has never been
associated with peace but is the
sign of evil. This assertion also is
absurd and untrue.
The peace symbol is not the
ign of the Antichrist, as more
fanatic people than those of SKEI
the-peac-

believe, nor is it an ancient sign
of evil, nor is it a broken cross
showing Satan's contempt for
Christianity. It is a composite of
the Semaphore signals for ND (Nuclear disarmament) developed in
1954 as the international signal of
support for the ban the bomb movement. The symbol evolved as do all
things in our language and finally
became known as a universal symbol for peace, devoid of any other
affiliate connotations.
Even if the peace symbol were
the symbol of the
(which
it is not) and even if the peace
symbol were introduced by direct
order of the Communist party
(which it was not) these considerations are invalid on their face. The
fact remains that millions ofpeople
in this country recognize the symbol as a symbol of peace and nothing more. Its history is irrelevant.
It is a symbol, nothing more, and
no matter how hard some try to
discredit it, it will still stand as
the symbol of peace.

A Together Scene in SG

To the Editor
Kernel coverage of last Thursday's
Student Government meeting was abysmal. I mean we had a real together
scene and you give headlines to a female
fortune teller! Your priorities however
are a reflection of student interest. It is
indeed humbling to see all those poor
people screaming and clawing to get a
look at a witch doctor! Hell, no one
screams and claws to see me.
Well, to clarify. I was censured only
for the duration' of the meeting which
ended a few minutes later so they could
all go see Jean. So there is still no interruption of my stated policy of making
all the people legislators. I was one of
those who voted for my own censure.

Hell, they censured the people long before
they censored me. If you don't believe
that, ask Terry Fox, or anyone in S.C.
It was all good clean fun.
Cetting back to Jean, Jeff Cumer is
a better Republican than she is. Those
yokels really eat that crap up. Cod help
me, I do love them so; I love them more
than my life.
Censure was a letdown, we'd liopcd
for impeachment. Well, I dare anyone
to try and impeach me.

Jesus Christ:

Basic Human Needs May Necessitate Violence

EDITOR'S NOTE: John Junot is a senior majoring in
Sociology.
This being near the Jewish New Year, I'm reminded
of an old ritual once practiced by that ancient people.
Every so often when they got to feeling bad, they'd
take a goat and ceremoniously lay upon his back all
the sin and evil, all those qualities imparted by the
Devil invading the tribe. Then, with great noise and
jubilation, much like a rock festival or pep rally, the
tribesmen would drive that goat dear out of the territory.
But that was all silly superstition, and we have
superior knowledge now. Reason won a victory in
the Enlightenment, and our forefathers fled to the
Eastern shores to escape such ignorant bigotry.
Now we know you can't drive out evil by laying

You do it by laying it on the back of a minority
group in the ceremony of the political campaign.
This year it's me and you, fellow

superstitious sands of Sinai, where men had only spears
to kill, and ten yards of empty air meant privacy,
and a thick stone w all made you safe.

I don't do that. I won't lie and pacifism is the
most noble lie in philosophy. A like like absolute democracy, or sexual chastity. An impossible ideal. It's
something to be strived for, but don't be frustrated
or disappointed if it isn't achieved.
Then, obviously, I believe in using violence sometimes, and how can I rationally justify that? Oddly
enough, I can justify it by the three most important
laws governing human life, the bases of all human
moral and religious systems. Listed in the order of
importance, these laws are:
(1) The survival of the Croup be that a tribal village
or a nation state-m- ust
be protected at all costs, provided
that the definition of the Croup may be gradually
changed so as to include as many individuals as possible, without violating the basic traditions.
(2) Each Croup, and its individual members, must
alter its behavior so as to encourage other groups to
act good. "Cood" meaning that which leads to good
feeling among people. Love or agape is the impossible ideal to strive for. But since history show us
that this love is impossible for every single individual
to attain, or even a majority in any society, men have
developed workable substitutes honor, respect, Justice,

and tolerance. The Croup that embodies these qualities
can survive as an entity, gradually expand its
and maximize the number of individuals who
can achieve love.
(3) Each individual must be allowed to be free to
do what his thinking leads him to do.
y,

These laws are interdependent. Each is derived from
the other two. The obedience and fulfillment of one
ultimately depends on the obedience and fulfillment
of those below it.
However, history' also shows that occasionally it is
temporarily necessary to violate subordinate laws to
obey the other ones. And, in those cases, violence is
legitimate.
We recognize this in cases where there is competition
over scarce goods, e.g. when then is only enough food
for the survival of one Croup, and there are two. Violence
is inevitable then, for, while an individual may sacrifice
himself in the interests of his Croup, no Croup has
ever knowingly and willingly sacrificed itself in the interests of another.
Violence in violation of law three is also legitimate
in order to halt criminal action -- that
is, u hen the actions
of the individual violate the first two laws.
Violations of law two both explains the cause of
civil wars, and legitimises civil violence. Since we are
in a civil war, most of
my comment will be about the
second law.

Government Assembly is an albatross around the neck of student power.
There is no need for the assembly's existence to continue.
A restructuring "of Student Government is needed.
