Candidates. Brando Vie For Attention
By JEAN RENAKER
Assistant Managing Editor
Student Government presidential hopefuls Steve
Bright and Ched Jennings were upstaged by a Marlon
Brando movie last night at Haggin Hall.
A debate between the two began nearly 40 minutes
belund schedule amid comments by disgruntled TV fans
that "I'm not voting for anybody."
Approximately 75 stayed to hear what the candidates
had to say anyway.
Steve Bright and his vice presidential running-matSkip Althoff, issued a statement outlining their position
on academic affairs during last night's debate.
e,

Bright said that academic affairs should be a "top
priority" of the Student Government. He added that
Student Covemment has "dealt too long" in what he
termed the "petty and insignificant" levels of government.

Academic Affairs Important
Jennings replied that academic affairs should be a
top priority question, but that Student Government
"should help out at every level." The other "levels"
in question concerned "bubble gum in fountains" and
such things as determining where to locate coke machines in the dorms.
In his opening statement, Jennings pledged to help
in the creation of a better "physical environment"

residence hall living which he felt would upgrade the
academic environment of the University.
He also suggested working for a "student discount
card" for use of University students in area stores
and a reduction in tolls for University students traveling the Bluegrass Parkway and the Western Kentucky
Parkway. He also stressed the "freshness" of his and
Roger Valentine's (his running-mate- )
campaign.
When questioned later by former student Thorn Pat

Juul about the campaign's "freshness," Jennings admitted that the suggestion for discounts in the two
areas mentioned had been used two years ago and had

his term in office to find out what students wanted.
Questioned by a student in the audience, he stated
that he had visited three dorms on the north side of
campus tliis year, as well as Haggin, Donovan, and parts
of the Complex. He added, however, that he "took directives" from the president of SG which determined the
amount of his involvement.
In reply. Bright, stated that he doesn't "take directives from anybody." He also contended that the student
Services Committee, of which he is the chairman, "has
responded (to students wants) more than any other

committee."

Creek Slate?

been unsuccessful.

Jennings stressed, however, that he planned to extend
the attempt to gain these discounts beyond those used
previously.

Student 'Voice' Needed
Bright, in his opening

remarks, stressed the need
for student representation on committees. He said
"I think it's vital that students not only have a voice
but that they have votes to back up that voice,"
He stated that the Faculty Senate at its Nov. 3,
I960, meeting, approved the appointment of an academic ombudsman, and charged that SG president
Tim Futrell's administration had failed to see that an
ombudsman was appointed.
Jennings also pledged to visit dorms throughout

Jennings proposed a slowdown in the number of revision demands for the student code. He proposed, instead, that fewer demands should be made of the Board
of Trustees to allow them an opportunity to thoroughly
discuss proposed revisions. He said he felt that students
should have more power and that the code should be

more "student-oriented.- "
Bright charged that the code adopted this summer
was a "sorry" one. Compared with the old code, he
said the present code was an "unfortunate" step down.
When questioned as to the possibility that there
exists a "Greek slate" for the election and that members
of the Sigma Nu fraternity were excluded from the slate,
Jennings stated that the possibility is "pure hearsay and

rumor."

It now appears that there is an
epilogue to the students for a
Democratic Society's (SDS) production of "You Asked for It,"
according to Lew Colten, an
SDS steering committee member.
Colten said Sunday night that
the headquarters of Philadelphia
Resistance, a radical organization which is coordinating the
collection of draft cards for the
Student Mobilization Committee's Anti-DraWeek, was
blown up last Thursday.
The main purpose of "You
Asked for It" was to collect draft
cards, which were then to be
sent to Philadelphia Resistance.
Forty-thre- e
cards were collected at UK, Colten said, but
thousand were
over forty-fiv- e
lost in the Philadelphia explosion.
Colten, who is a native of
Philadelphia and used to work
at Philadelphia Resistance, described the news of the explosion as "a terrific shock."
"It really hit me hard," he
said. I had been trying to get
hold of them for a couple of
days and couldn't understand
why I couldn't get them."
Colten linked the explosion
with the burnings of four Philadelphia draft boards within the
past two weeks, Philadelphia Resistance's stated objective was to
collect 100,000 draft cards by
March 31, when the group was
scheduled to meet witli the Senate Armed Forces Committee
and turn in the cards.
Two thousand cards have
been sent to the organization
since the explosion, and the
meeting with the Armed Forces
Committee has been postponed
until April 12.
The headquarters of Philadelphia Resistance was located directly across from Rittenhouse
Square in Philadelphia's center
city.

SG Proposes 'Dead Week9
By JERRY LEWIS
Kernel Staff Writer

A resolution calling for a
period of "no fewer than six
days" between the end of classes
and the beginning of finals for
students to catch up and prepare for exams was passed Sunday night by the Student Government.
The resolution was passed in
an effort to voice some immediate opinion to the University
Senate Council concerning a
possible "dead" week before
finals.
A debate arose among several
of the representatives concerning details of the resolution.
Steve Bright
Representative
indicated that it should be sent
to the Student Services Committee for further research on what
students want.
'More Dialogue

"There needs to be more
dialogue on the subject between
the students, faculty and administration," Bright said.
"I like the present system,"

pointed out representative Rodney Tapp. "I think students
only need three or four hours
study to pass any final exam here
at this University."
The resolution was finally
passed after an amendment was
added by representative Lynn

Montgomery, changing the proposed time period from "no
fewer than three days" to "no
fewer than six days".
In other business, the SG
passed a resolution expressing
disapproval of a compulsory
senior fee.
After an argument about what
the senior fee actually pays for,
the resolution was passed with
an amendment urging "all colleges and departments involved
to make provisions for an optional senior fee and additional
provisions to make available options on various items now included within the fee."
Two bills were passed by the
SG providing a total of $450 to
two different projects.
One of the bills alloted $250
to an Experiment in International Living in which UK students are given a chance to live
and work in a foreign country.
The other bill was passed to
show SG support of a future Environmental Awareness Teach-i- n
and provided $200 to be used
scheduled for
for the Teach-I- n

Near the end of the SG meeting, representative Lynn Montgomery rose to officially recognize the "one individual who

SG Elections Board vice chairman Bruce Carver issued a special statement Sunday night concerning campaign rules.
Carver said, "The elections board wishes to make it
clear that any student caught illegally tearing down
campaign material will be recommended for disciplinary
action to the Dean of Students Office under Article 1.3E
of the Student Code."
The Code forbids the malicious or otherwise unwarranted defacing, disfiguring, damaging or destruction of

How is a rock group like a

Jean-Lu- c
Godard
Director
proposes an answer to this riddle
in his latest flick, "Sympathy for
the Devil," which appeared
Friday and Saturday night in

the Student Center Theater.
The movie, starring the Rolling Stones, alternates two sepaof
scenes
rate sequences
throughout its duration which
we suddenly realize are really
two sides of the same coin.
The first sequence shows the

progress of a Rolling Stones
recording session, at which the
song being perfected is, ap- -

propriately, "Sympathy for the
Devil." The other is a series of
scenes which can all be grouped under the general head

"revolution."
This latter group includes a
potpourri y of "revolutionary"
activities which range from the
less drastic (painting slogans on
cars, fences, and billboards) to
the more profound (Black
Power and the New Left, for

example).
The point Godard is trying to
make is that some sort of integrated whole can come from
the whole mess in the case of
each of the two major sequences.

The Stones sequence begins
with a recording session in
which each member of the group
is virtually isolated from the
others in separate electronic
cells, and ends with the production of a harmonious sound
that sets the most dignified

Honesty of Woodstock
Technically, the work is brilliant. Split-an- d
triple screens
and eight-trac- k

truth to the commercial comment "it's the next best thing to
being there." The cameras focus
in on the breast-feedin- g
of a
baby, rolling of a marijuana
cigarette, nude swimming in a
nearby lake and a rainstorm that
forced some under tents and
some just to enjoy the rain . . .
the honesty of Woodstock.
To say that Woodstock is a
film everyone over 12 and under
112 should see is trite, but true.
A look at Woodstock affords a
picture of peace and music
a picture no one should miss.

wise undergo an ultimate merging in the closing scene, in
which a sweet picture of innocence by the name of Eve
Democracy is fatally wounded
and crawls upon a camera crane
which hoists her skyward.

The "end product"

is

harder

to define in the case of Eve than
that of the Stones because it is
portrayed symbolically rather
than in the concrete. Eve is

pictured earlier endorsing New
Left ideas in a Garden of Eden
setting (get it?), so we may assume that the final scene with
the camera crane symbolizes the
death of the Old Way and all its
fallacies.

The unity behind "Sympathy

for the Devil" becomes clearer
with every scene, and is further
clarified and summarized in the
concluding moments. Nevertheless, the opening scenes of the
film may seem unrealated until
the viewer "catches on" to the
basic theme.
Besides the difficulty imposed
by this rather rapid alternation
of scene sequences, the sound in
more than one spot is less than
clear particularly in

those parts involving invisible
commentator Sean Lynch (who
sounds, at least until you get
used to him, much like an LP
album whirling at 78 RPM).
Despite these few shortcomings, however, "Sympathy"
remains quite a unique artistic
achievement, more by virtue of
its theme than its photography.
Whether the flick is a symbolically accurate prediction of the
Western world's future is a debate which only time can

The proposal composed by
SC President Tim Futrcll, Tuft
McKinstry, Buck Pennington,
Clied Jennings and Steve Bright
was presented under the signatures of Futrell and Miss McKinstry, Ixjth student members
of the senate.
The

nine-memb-

would consist of three students,
three faculty members and three
University administrators.

The three students would be
the present student members of
the senate, the faculty members
would be chosen by the Senate
Council, and the three administrators would be selected by the
president of the University.
As outlined in the proposal,
the committee would have six
major charges. They are:
To define the roles and re- -

sponsiblities of the senate, the
Student Government and the
administration.
To define who allocates
authority to the three groups.
To define the structural relationships of the groups.
To investigate the feasibility
of a tripartite government at

To examine the structure
and functions of similar organizations at other universitites and
the feasibility of adopting their
methods at UK.
To prepare a written report and specific recommendations to be presented to the

Draft Counseling Service
Will Meet Monday Night
By

JIM FUDGE

Kernel Staff Writer
The UK Draft Counseling and Information Service will meet
Monday to discuss the relation of men and the draft.
Dr. Harry Barnard, coordinator of the draft discussion group,
calls the counseling service a place to come to discuss the draft

and alternatives to being drafted.
The purpose is to discuss the history of conscription in the U.S.,
why and how it was accepted in other eras, and how it works
today.

Bamard emphasized that the counseling service is not attempting to suggest alternatives to the draft such as going" to jail,
leaving the country, applying for conscientious objector status or
gaining a deferment but is intended rather to inform draft-ag- e
men of the courses open to them.
Dropping Courses
The counseling service, according to Barnard, will advise about
the effects of dropping courses on draft status. He says it is one
area often overlooked in students planning.
Along with group discussion on the draft, the coordinator said
speakers will be invited to give information on alternatives to the
draft, and to answer questions anyone may have.
Women are also invited to attend the draft discussion.
The Monday night meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the
Student Center, Room 363.

Professors' Public Image
Based On Weaknesses
UK President Otis A. Single-tar- y
has suggested that public

disenchantment with university
professors is often based on a
faculty's weaknesses instead of
its strengths.
Speaking at the annual state
conference of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in Elizabethtown,
Singletary said "my belief is
that the popular stereotype has
focused on the weakness rather
than the strengths of the profession.
"I would like to know where
the image is of the professor
as a man of character, of intelligence, with the capacity for

independent thought and judgement."
He said the public has been
historically suspicious of persons controlling "the relevant
mysteries of the time."

Singletary portrayed the professor "as a carrier of a discipline, with the responsibility of
introducing new generations to
it as a man who likes to teach,
who enjoys his function, which
is to operate without the knife
on the minds of others."
Besides hearing Singletary's
talk, the delegates passed a reso

lution urging university administrations to give both faculty
and other university employees
at least annual
cost-of-livi-

salaries.

* Singletary Relations Must Be Considered
One criteria by which voters may select from the many and varied
individuals currently seeking the office of Student Covemmcnt president
is the potential ability of each to maintain working relations with UK

President Otis Singletary.
Since his arrival last fall, Dr. Singletary, in virtually all cases involving student legislation, has dealt exclusively with the student president. He heeds, with little regularity, any except the elected student
voice on any sweeping policy proposals. To discuss the merits of the
Singletary system pro or con would be merely blowing in the wind;
the system exists, like it or not. It does, however, point out the necessity of choosing a SG president who will see that every campus opinion
is represented.
Outgoing student executive Tim Futrell has excelled by his ability
to work closely with the administration to gain student membership
bodies within the University system. Those
on important policy-makin- g
who consider Futrell's behavior a form of cop-oare demonstrating
their political naivete. The worthiest of ideas are worthless when they
fall on deaf ears.

is that of John Stainbach. Running indelibpendently, he is a
eral who has an opinion about almost any
subject. While serving as a counterbalance to the President, he would by no
means be unnoticed in the S.G. offices.
With a week to go in the campaign,
I am inclined to favor Steve Bright thus
far, as he is the only candidate showing
active concern for increasing thedecision-makin- g
role of students within the University. If you don't think that's important,
take a moment to contrast the great reolds exercise
sponsibility 18 to
in Kentucky with the voteto theminiscule
ones they share in the University, even
with regard to their own affairs.
One last reminder, vote, and the choice
is yours; don't vote, and it might wind up
all Creek to you.

We demand total withdrawal now of
all the American soldiers advising the

is enough; to many people have been
killed already to preserve America's overseas empire.

As men who have served in the armed
forces, we have seen first hand the dangerously growing power of American militarism. As soldiers and as citizens we
believe we have a special obligation to
speak out against it.
