Complex Dedicated Saturday:
Tower Namesakes, Nunn Speak
By DOTTIE BEAN

mingled with a challenge for

of approximately 200 gathered to
witness dedication ceremonies for

the dedicatory speaker, told his
audience he felt "privileged to

the buildings to two outstanding
Kentuckians.'
The residence units were
named for Miss Sarah Gibson

and Dr. A.D. Kirwan, UK's interim president. Each was present
at the dedication.

Six UK coals have adopted fifteen young lx)ys who reside in one
of the youth cottages at Kentucky Village, a rehabilitation center for
boys from throughout the state.
The girlsjoin the boyson Sundays, visitingday at the Village, for
an afternoon of sports, games, and talk. They hope to build genuine
friendships.
The boys, 9 to 13 years old, have been placed in the Village for
a variety of offenses, mostly truancy and petty thievery.
"We've adopted them to show them someone really cares," one
of the coeds says. The girls' early disappointment at the drabness of
the boys' "home" has faded but they still feel sadness at seeing
families having to leave their children when the visiting hours end.
One boy new to their cottage cried when his parents left him after
their first visitation period.
The coeds participating are Mary Ann Noe, Linda Sliockey,
Jean Newell, Cheryl Hendren, Janet Cummings, and Barbara Johnson.

Kentucky Village is located near Georgetown Road in Fayette
County.

Berkeley Violence
The current demonstrations and
arrests at the University of California at Berkeley are clearly the result of the repressive actions of that
school's Board of Regents and any
blame for the current events rests
solely with them.
The protests center over a course
in racism which has featured Black
Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver
as a lecturer. Originally scheduled
to speak 10 times, Cleaver was allowed by the Regents only one
lecture and credit for the course
was dropped.
By cutting down on Cleaver's
appearances and by removing credit
from the course, the University administration and regents may have
sought to avoid violence in the
Berkeley community. What they
have actually done, however, is to
raise the likelihood of mass vio

lence and, in fact, to do mass
violence to the few substantial gains
that had been made in student
participation at Berkeley since the
Free Speech Movement of 1964.
It is clear that many students
at Berkeley wanted a credit course
on racism, wanted to hear Cleaver's
views on the subject, and wanted
to hear these views more than once.
It should also be clear that denying these educational desires could
have no salutory effect on the atmosphere at Berkeley and that students there can no longer be expected to play the sheep for the
questionable leadership of the California Board of Regents. If there
is violence at Berkeley, and violence seems to be erupting, the
regents are clearly on the wrong
side in whatever conflict may

Kernel Forum: the readers write
To the Editor of the Kernel:
In reference to your October 22 Editorial, "Black Truth" (Olympic Games):
The State Department of the USA
did not repeal Smith's and Carlos's passports immediately, but only at the request
of the IOC which itself reached that
conclusion after having consulted all members of that particular committee responsible for the Games in Mexico City. Since
there was the danger that the entire
US Team might have been suspended
in case the recommendation of the IOC
had not been followed, the US Team
was forced to comply with the particular
request. This clarification changes to some
extent the foundation on which your
editorial is based.
My main purpose of writing is, however, that not only some Negro members
of the US Team are dissatisfied with
the political and economic condition of
their country. Members of other national
teams are surely equally disenchanted
with their country. An example comes
to my mind especially in the case of
the Czechs among many others. This
group has, however, so far not staged
any political demonstration. They might
have had less opportunity to do so during
a victory ceremony, but they definitely
do not possess less pride and dignity
for not voicing their political grievances
than the two Negro athletes as was
strongly suggested in your editorial.
The difference is rather that they regard the Olympic Cames not as a political forum where everybody can voice
his personal political dissatisfaction.
They, on tbe contrary, respect the original idea and purpose of the Olympic
Cames. Their effort to keep the Olympic
Cames a working event is to be appraised highly. The Olympic Cames, already a hunting ground for medals, would
otherwise soon cease to exist.

"They're a bunch of
"Yeah. A bunch of hippies."
"They're also biased."

."

"Who?"

(Collectively) "WHO? Why the Kernel
staff, that's who!"

"How's that?"

"What are ou,
a freshman or something?"
"No. I'm a senior."
"Well, where have you been tlte last
three yean? Haven't you been reading
(A collective groan)

that biased, libelous,
campus
newspaper? Why it's a prime example of

conscious manipulation of news, on campus or off. They only print one side of
any argument and refuse any attempt
at rebuttal, especially in the case of
articles about the Creeks."

"Oh?"
"Sure. Take last week. My frat had a
championship peanut cracking contest
and invited the Kernel to cover it. You
know. Pictures, story and all. You think

k
they came? Not one of those
leftists showed. Or take the time
spoke in that campus convocation.
Boy, did they praise that Commie. Said
he was a valuable speaker and that he
added a lot to the intellectual scope of
the University. Hogwash! If I'd had anything to say about it, that Commie never
would have gotten near this campus.
What we need around here is a new
Kernel staff. Somebody who will print
the real news and reflect the interests of
anti-Gree-

the students."
The above is, of course, a hypothetical conversation, but I think it is indicative of some of the shallow thinking which
seems to occupy some minds on this
campus.
1 am well aware of the current circulation of a petition designed to bring
about a review of Kernel policies. As the
leader of a campus organization (the
University of Kentucky Hangers), I have
been asked to obtain signatures for it.
I don't think I will, for two reasons:
(1) Those Hangers who disagree with the
Kernel have already signed the petition
as individuals and 1 see no valid reason
why they should be asked to sign it
again; (2) The return address to which
1 have been asked to send the
completed
petition contains only the letters "OZIQ,"
which indicates to me the person or
persons involved are afraid of public
rebuttal or don't really know what they
are talking about or both.
Although I have no connection with
the Kernel, my major requires that 1 take
several journalism courses to gain some
knowledge of how newspapers operate
as opposed to radio and television. I
realize this in no way, shape or form
makes me an authority on the subject.
However, I would like to impart to those
shallow minds referred to earlier some of
the facts I learned in those courses.
Fact 1 A newspaper is dedicated to
reporting news of interest to the majority.
This automatically limits coverage to major events. If room is left for news of

interest to minority groups, fine. If not,
fine again. That's why a newspaper is
considered a MASS medium.
Fact 2 Reporters and editors are not
infallible. Although they try to be as
objective as possible, they are, alas, capable of the same types of failures common
to us all. Because of this capability, they
are subject to public abuse, often unjust
or unwarranted.
Fact 3 Newspapers are not run like
popularity contests. Nor should they be.
If some one does or says something praiseworthy, it is the reporter's duty to praise
that person in print, if it is of significant
interest to the public. When some one
does or says something worthy of criticism, again it is the reporter's duty to put
that criticism into print, if it is of significant interest to the public. Seldom, if
ever, is the person himself criticized. More
often than not, it is the act or the intention which is criticized.
Undoubtedly, some readers are thinking of me as a brainwashed, whole-heartKernel supporter. They're partially right.
I say partially because there Is room for
improvement in the Kernel. There is in
every newspaper. Such things as
objectivity in reporting and improved reporting techniques, for instance.
Who knows? A whole new staff just
may be the answer. That assumption,
however, is highly questionable, because
wherever you have a
staff,
mistakes will be made. Even the pros
make mistakes. But at least they pitch
in and try to correct those mistakes.
This letter could go on and on. However, let me close by saying that the same
type of criticism some people are directing
toward the Kernel coukl also be directed
toward some of tlte country's largest
h
newspapers. Our University has a
journalism department, and it is
highly unlikely that the professors therein
would teach their courses in such a way
as to mislead their students in the techniques of reporting ami newspaper operation.

attending the game considered themselves
a part of the university community and

UK
with the
along
whites . . . that is; until the official
school band played "Dixie." Many of the
Blacks then became silent. Apparently
this song reinforces the Blacks' suspicion
that they are not really a part of the
UK community.
In the light of these observations, I
address a question to Mr. Fem. (And
I address the question with respect; for
I, too, supported the "Dixie" cause until I learned how strongly Blacks felt
about it.) My question: Are Blacks really
accepted as a part of the UK campus
by us whites?
t
If they are, it seems that we should
consider their feelings. Now that we know
that the Blacks consider the song to be
an insult to them, we cannot maintain
that "Dixie" has no racial connotations,
at least not on the grounds that we
whites have never noticed any. After all,
we must consider the consequences of our
actions as well as our intentions for our
actions. Yes, our intentions are good.
But if we whites define "racism" without consulting the Blacks, it seems obvious
that we do not consider them a dynamic
part of the UK community. It seems that
we are telling them that they are lucky
that we allow them to attend the university and that they should not expect
us to possess empathy for them.
If we have empathy for our Black
brothers and sisters, why is it that we
were not perceptive enough to observe
their chagrin and resentment before they
made a public announcement of the fact?
And why is it that we discuss the"Dixie"
issue without so much as an allusion to
the Blacks' feelings?
Antecedent to the "Dixie" issue is the
issue of Black alienation at UK. Isolated,
the "Dixie" issue is frivolous: but in the
context of Black alienation, The "Dixie"
issue is dynamite.
