Charge ‘Magnificently Stupid’

 

Happy Denies Intrigue
To,“ Get UK Presidency

By LEE BECKER
and

DARRELL CHRISTIAN

Former Gov. A. B. (Happy)
Chandler Sunday called charges
that he has been promised the
University presidency in ex-
change for political support ”ut-
terly ridiculous, utterly foolish
and magnificently stupid."

“I will be 70 years old on
my next birthday (July)," Mr.
Chandler said. ”I don't want
any office. I don't want any
position. I'm getting along just
fine."

The future of University Pres—
ident john W. Oswald was
thrown into the gubernatorial
campaign fire Friday by Demo-
cratic nominee Henry Ward.

The charges were leveled in
‘a speech before more than 1,(XX)
persons in GOP candidate Louie
B. Nunn's hometown ofGIasgow.

Although Mr. Ward did not
mention to whom the offer al-
legedly was made, campaign
aides said he was referring to
Mr. Chandler, who ran second
to Mr. Ward in last May's Dem~
ocratic primry.

First Party Switch

Mr. Chandler has announced
support for judge Nunn in the
current campaign — publicly
switching his party allegiance
for the first time, but he darted
Sunday that his move had any-
thing to do with the UK presi-
dency.

”It is the sort of character
statement that a fellow ofWard's
caliber will make," he said. ”I
switched because I felt these
others weren't fit to govern us
any rriore."

Former highway commission-
er Ward told the crowd, "I am
violently opposcd to dragging
the University into the muck of
factional or partisan politics, and
that's exactly what is happen-
ing ..

He said Republicans are in-

terested in giving state jobs to
"political cronies, not always of
their own party."

Mr. Nunn denied the charges
Saturday in a speech before the
Louisville Home Builders Asso—
ciation, saying he has ”no com-
mitment to put him (Dr. Os-
wald) out and no commitment
to keep him."

Kernel Takes

First Place
SDX Award

The Kentucky Kernel, Univer-
sity student daily, has been cited
by Sigma Delta Chi, professional
journalism society, as a winner
in its annual college press com-
petition.

The Kernel was given a first-
place award in newspaper news
competition, one of 14 categories
of newspaper, broadcast, photo
and magazine journalism.

The award was based on
stories appearing in 1966-67 edit-
ions of the newspaper. The pub
lication's editor-in-chief then was
Walter M. Grant, now employed
by Collegiate Press Service, a
Washington-based news service
for college newspapers.

The award will be presented
during Sigrm Delta Chi's an-
nual convention in Minneapolis-
St. Paul Nov. 15-18.

In the past 11 years, The
Kernel has received four similar
awards: second place in straight
news writing in 1956; first place
in editorial writing, in 1958; sec-
ond place in editorial writing in
1959 and first place in news
writing in 1%0.

Only those college newspapers
at schools with SDX chapters
are eligible for competition. Ac-
cording to the rules, any story
written during 196667 is eligible.

Third Party Candidate
Runs To Help Wallace

By LEE BECKER

There is a new party symbol
on Kentucky ballots thisfall, and
an eight-man slate of candidates
to go with it.

The symbol is the Liberty

”I want to give the people

Mr. Clanz, a segregationist. says.
”The only difference between the

didates is one of. personality."

Although Mr. Glanz says that
his principal reason for running
is that he wants to be the next
governor of Kentucky, he admits
that he has little chance of being
elected.

And he admits that his ”deep

TU Protests
May Greet
Dean Rusk

United Press Internatlonal

BLOOMINGTON, IND. -
Demonstrations both for and
against the war in Vietnam are
anticipated Tuesday morning at
Indiana University when Secre~
tary of State Dean Rusk speaks
in a campus auditorium.

Mr. Ruskis scheduled to'speak
Monday night in the high school
auditorium at Columbus, Ind.

Emmett Tyrrell, an IU student
and chairman of the “Ad Hoc
Committee to Support Our Sold—
iers," said Sunday his group is
organizing to present a “size
able" demonstration in favor of
US. policy in Vietnam and in
support of US. soldiers there.

Had 'Diminished' Threats

Tyrrell said his group has the
backing of the Young Americans
for Freedom, the Young Demo—
crats, Young Republicans and
Student Committee for Victory
in Vietnam.

The announcement of a coun-
ter-demonstration came after 1U
oficials apparently had dimin-
ished a threat of a large antiwar
protest by scheduling an “anti-
war speaker” in December.

Reed Dickerson, chairman of
IU's Convocation Committee, an-
nounced that Dr. Howard Zinn,
a Boston University government
professor, will speak at IU Dec.
1. Prof. Zinn is author of a book
questioning the Vietnam war.

Demanded Antiwar Speaker

A student group, headed by
IU student body President Guy
Loftman, had demanded Mr.
Rusk’s appearance be cancelled
unless the school also scheduled
an antiwar speaker.

Dickerson, in announcing
Prof. Zinn's appearance, said he
had made no deal with the stuo
dent group.

After The Storm: Confusion

By DAVID LLOYD-JONES

MADISON, Wis. (CPS) —
The student strike at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin is over,
leaving behind it depression,
puzzlement, rancour, and in—
juries.

Dow Chemical Company has
bee chased off the campus, it
see 5 likely that the student
protest has kept the CIA away,
and the faculty has set up a
student-staff committee to re-
view the policies to govern the
handling of demonstrations and
the corporations that are to be
allowed to recruit on campus.

These are successes, yet they
are not cheered by the students
who were beaten and tear-
gassed by police for sitting-in
against Dow employment inter-
views last Wednesday. In part,
this is because there is really
no jov to be taken from such a

brutal confrontation with au-
thority.
The abstract radicals, of

whom there are many on this
campus. take some joy from the
fact that everyone who got a
club on the head has been
“radicalized," but the fact is that

even so there is almost nothing
constructive for anvone to do.

A teach-in Monday night dis-
solved in hostilitv and recrim-
ination. as Self-styled radicals
and liberals each accused the
other of causing the failure of
the strike: radicals saying that
the "liberal” concentration on
the single issue of police brutal—
itv had undermined the protest,
liberals saving that radical at-
tempts to relate police action on
campus to militarv action in
Vietnam had alienated many
students.

Neither explanation is entire-
lv true.

"10 000 can't strike a univer-
sitv that has 30.000" is the
clear point made by one Al-
gerian student who took part in
the war against France 10 vears
ago. He sneers at the left on
this campus. "These people are
living in a dream world when
thev talk about a strike,” he
comments. “A one-dav strike
might have had general sup-
port. but anvthing else is un-
certain, and cannot attract
ordinarv students.”

About a third of University

of Wisconsin's students were in-
volved in some phase or an-
other of the past week's pro-
tests. Two thousand have signed
a declaration to the administra-
tion that thev were as much
responsible for the disturbance
as the few students who are
being disciplined, and about
5.000 have signed petitions
against academic reprisals for
demonstrators and against the
use of police violence on the
campus. Four thousand marched
on the state capitol this week-
end to protest the club-wielding
police ordered into action
against the Dow demonstrators,
and anywhere from 2-8.000 at-
tended the daily rallies that
were the focal point of the pro-
test.

Why then is there almost
nothing happening on the
campus now? In part, because
of puzzlemcnt. Students have
realized that just picketing and
petitioning have little effect, but
few constructive alternatives
have been proposed by anv of
the leaders of the various fac-
tions.

‘Bonnie And Clyde’Should Rob Oscar

By D. C. MOORE
Assistant Arts Editor
In “Bonnie and Clyde" now
showing downtown at the Cin-
ema, Bonnie Parker and Clyde
Barrow break the law and runoff
with money from the banks they
robbed. Well, when Academy
Awards are given out, the new

movie may run off with a bank-

vault full of awards.

How could this happen when
most Academy award movies are
spectacular, and have big bud-
gets?

For those who haven't seen
this movie, the reasons are very
simple.

They are: good acting, good
technical qualities, and a spec-
ial dimension the movie offers.

The acting in the movie is
clever, earthy and humorous.
Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway)
and Clyde Barrow (Warren
Beatty) come together in a love
story that begins with a dream
and an idea for a better life and
ends in a violent death that is
quick, silent and clipped. Both
of these actors act and react to-
gether to present a refreshing and
fitting combination.

Supporting them ina a sup-
erb role is Michael Pollard as
C. W. Moss, their constant com-
panion whose character acting
blends well. He should be nom-
inated for a best support actor
award.

UKPhi Mu Alpha

Presents Concert

Alpha Gamma, UK’s chapter
of Phi Mu Alpha, national hono-
rary music fratemity, will present
its annual American Music Con-
cert at 8:15 pm. Nov. 1 in Me-
morial Hall.

Featured on the program will
be Robert W. Jones' uSonatina
for Trombone and Piano," per-
formed by John Carr, trombone,
and Pat Lasswell, piano; Paul
Hindemith's ”Sonata for Oboe,"
Charles Barret, oboe, and Jenni-
fer Kelley, piano.

Walter S. Hartley's ”Sonatina
for Tuba and Piano" with Hunter
Hensley, tuba, and Kay Schuer-
meyer, piano; Larry Vanlanding-
ham's ”Rhapsody for Marimba,"
performed by Joe Rasmussen;
John Bames Chance's “Credo"
with Daniel Moonitz, trumpet,

and John White, piano; Aaron

Copland s "Passacaglia," Caryl
Worthington, piano, and Lo Pres-
ti's ”Suite No. 2" by the UK
Horn Club. .
The public is invited to the
admission free concert.

The technical qualities of the
movie are unusual because the
movie is a period piece and most
period movies are disastrous due
to attention to detail. But this
movie does not suffer All the de-
tails are as natural as the movie
allows.

A story of the early thirties
when the depression was start-
ing, “Bonnie and Clyde" has no

'indoor filming except for car rides

The outside construction of towns
and set are natural and they
have been filmed with a clear
camera eye so that no quality
is lost. This adds up to almost
an exact photographic copy of
the period which is fresh and
natural.

Softncss

The most unusual dimenstion
of this film is softness. The film
could have been just another
bloody "Untouchables" episode,
with its cast of characters and
its machine guns.

But “Bonnie and Clyde" is
made softly, which only one really
startling aspect: the blood-lett-
ing which is necessary to the
plot.

The soft touch can befoundin
the acting, in the soft‘ use of
lighting and color, in the scenery
and the dialogue.

Academy Award?

As a result, the unusual di-
mension of softness separatesthis
movie from the many where
blood, guns and violence are
supposed to make good movies.

Good acting, good technical
qualities and the dimension of
softness will make ”Bonnie and
Clyde" eligible for the 1967 Aca-
demy Awards.

The movie ends Tuesday at
the Cinema Theater in down-
town Lexington.

Oiie Cause or Student Problems
Lies In Standing Up To Authority

By MARVA GAY

”Students must stand up for
themselves against their par-
ents," said Dr. Harriet Rose told
Blazer Hall last week. Dr. Rose
is a counselor at the University
Counseling and Testing Service.

Dr. Rose cited the inability
to stand up to authority as a
main cause of student problems.
The “authority" may be that ofa
teacher as \well as of a parent,
she said.

The UK counselor said that

scores on the CPI test required
of new students show that mny

on probation have passive per—
sonalities. They repress or push
awav unpleasant things. Dr. Rose
added, ”The successful student
doesn’t let himself get beaten
down."

Students come to college to
examine their values, Dr. Rose
said. They must hold their values
while remaining flexible. They
then must stand up for themselves
even against their parents.

Dr. Rose believes that stand-
ing up for one's own rights is
an essential form of rebellion.
“It's hard for both the parents

The Oddities Of Time

NEW YORK ()-UPI "Dost
thou love life? Then do not squan-
der time, for that’s the stuff
life is made of."

Benjamin Franklin said it, in
“Poor Richard's Almanack."

Make haste, nor wait the com-
ing hours; he who is unready
today, will be more so tomorrow. "

Time—its loss or gain, its
swift passing, how to get the
most out of It, the prIce or wast-
ing it —has fascinated writers
from the pre-Christian era right
up to now.

”It's also fascinated the peo-
ple who make the stuff for mea-
suring time— the watch and
clockmakers. Consider that ifyou
saved 15 minutes a day, you
would gain enough time in one
year to read the Bible through
once, or Shakespeare‘s Plays,
twice.

These were among the time
oddities complied by researchers
for the Timex Watchmakers, put
together as most of the nation
prepared this weekend to shift
from daylight to standard time.

The idea of daylight time it-
self originated with' the British,
the researchers said. The British
inaugurated it during World War
I to save fuel and electricity.

History's first timing device
was a tree. By looking at the
shadows it cast, ancient man
could tell approximately how
near noon it was.

The word lantern comes from
clocks. In the early days, to pro-
tect the flames of candle clocks
from the wind, iron cases called
”Ianthoms" were put aroundthe
candles. Thus, Iantem emerged.

The world's first clock is still
running. say the researchers.
Henry de Vick made it for Charles
V of France in 1364. It still looks
down from the Paris Palace of
Justice and still keeps time al-

 

though hardly accurately. More of
an ornament, it has an hour
hand only and is off as much as
two hours.

Did you ever stop to think
of how you spend your lifetime?
Reports the Census Bureau, an
average American 65 years old
has spent 20 years sleeping, 20
years working, 16 years at re-
creation, five years bathing and
dressing, one year of telephon-
ing and three years waiting.

The average American house—
wife works a 99.6 hour week,
at 12 difTerent occupations. The

mresearchers, quoting a study by

the Chase

Manhattan Bank,
found the occupational range is
from nursemaid to cook, to laun-
dress, to housekeeper, andchauf—
feur. The bank figured that il
the housewife were paid at stan-
dard rates for the 120ccupati0ns.
she would receive almost $159
a week. or about $8,285 a year.

Most people don't realize it,
but they express fears, hostilities

ambitions and maturity by the '

way they react to time.

Some psychologists say that
her inner fears were one reason
that the late Marilyn Monroe was
habitually tardy. On the other
hand, Sigmund Freud, the psy-
chiatrist, was so anxrous never
to be late he invariably arrived
at railroad stations one hour be-
fore his trains were scheduled to
depart.

As the anthropolist, Dr. james
Hall, once said, “Time is a sil-
ent language more expressive
than words."

and the student. It's much easier
to stay in the nest than to shape
your own values."

When students don’t insist on
their rights, rebellion often shows
in two ways, she said. One is
underachievement. Rather than
please his parents with good
grades in high school, the student
just gets by. At college he finds
it doesn’t work.

The other form of rebellion,
Dr. Rose said, is "takingtheeasy
way out." The student convinces
himself he can’t do college work.

With women students, Dr.
Rose said, a third form of rebel-
lion is sexual promiscuity. “These
girls don't have the guts to stand
up to their parents. Then they
reassure themselves of their
worthiness by promiscuity.”

Many students who don't
stand up for themselves feel they
must lie to protect themselves
from someone bigger, said Dr.
Rose. “This makes them feel
little."

Dr. Rose suggested that every
student examine his values and
where they come from. ”Many
students are lonely because they
have developed this way of look-
ing at life. They got this attitude
from their parents."

4—THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Monday, Oct. 30, 1967

New Industry Would Help Pay The Bill

 

Nunn Promises Growth Without More Taxes

By LEE BECKER

A major issue of this guber-
natorial campaign, as with most
Kentucky campaigns, is taxes.

Both Republican nominee
Louie B. Nunn and Democrat
Henry Ward have proposed many
programs for the state, but plan
to carry them out without in-
creasingtaxes.

Mr. Nunn has said his pro-
grams can be financed by over-
hauling the present tax structure,
and eliminating waste, and by
attracting new industries which
pay the taxes.

But he stresses that the state
must change the tax structure to
get the industry.

Nunn Cites Ashland

Mr. Nunn cited the example
of Ashland Oil and Refineries in
Ashland. It is rumored that the
company is going to leave the
state.

“If industry is moving out
ofthe state because ofthat(prop-
erty tax) it is only logical that
industries won't move in," he
said.

”What Kentucky needs most

is not more tax money," Mr.
Nunn said, ”But a complete re-
vision of the tax structure it now
has."

Mr. Nunn, however, avoids
being too specific on his tax plans.
He calls that ”nit-picking."

Assails Property Tax

He has attacked the 1965 man—
date from the state Court of Ap-
peals that all property must be

 

Campaign ’67

 

assessed for taxation at 100 per-
cent of its fair cash value.

”This method of taxation does
not tax wealth, it taxes potential
wealth. I will urge the General
Assembly to take the necessary
action to remove this unfair and
unjust tax burden," Mr. Nunn
said.

Much of the money gained
through revamping the tax st ruct—
ure will be funneled into educa—
tion, Mr. Nunn said.

He has promised to raise
teacher salary to ”the national
average," and has supported the

proposals of the KEA legislative
program for 1968 except where it
would permit school boardstode—
termine local school tax rates.

Charges Politics

Besides increasingteacher sal-
aries, the KEA program calls for
the state to help pay the ex-
penses of operating classes and
paying for the construction ofnew
buildings and classrooms.

Mr. Nunn also has said that
he would establish vocational
training schools on thejuniorcol—
lege level to train Kentucky's
youth.

One of the major problems of
education in Kentucky today has
been that politics are played with
school monies, Mr. Nunn says.

He said that positions in ed-
ucation were used as political re-
wards by the present administra-
tion in many counties ofthe state.

Attacks ‘Begging'

He also said that the state
failed to establish some sort of
regular method of granting funds
to the school boards, forcing the
school administrators “to come

down (to Frankfort) each legis-
lative session with a tin cup in
their hands in order to beg enough
money to run their educational
programs. "

This puts school adminis-
trators at the mercy ofthe state
administration, he said.

He said that legislation needs
to be enacted “so that the school
people will be assured of some
kind of continuity, that they will
be assured of ”x” number of
dollars over a long period, and
that they will not be atthe mercy
of the legislature."

Mr. Nunn said education
should be handled on the local
level and taken away from state
control.

No Preference

He has no preference, he said,
as to whether the state super-
intendent of public instruction
ought to be appointed, instead of
elected as he now is. Some con-
sider this a necessary move to—
ward getting politics out of ed-
ucation.

In addition, Mr. Nunn has
charged the present administra-

tion with "neglect of the state's
mentally ill," and proposed to
help alleviate the problem.

"We will get on with the
building of modern health facil-
ities," he said. ”We will rework
job descriptions and will raise
salaries to a level that will at-
tract competent personnel."

Mr. Nunn also has said that
he will devote much effort to-
ward solving the state's prob-
lems of air and water polution.

On Strip Mining

On strip mining, he said that
“there is no need for any further
legislation. What we need nowis
better enforcement. "

However, Mr. Nunn has ac—
cused the present administration
of treating the coal industry as
an “embarrassing and unwanted
step-child. "

He said that he intended to
give the industry "the sincere
help it deserves" to help the in-
dustry and the state.

While Oposing an increase in
cents-agallon tax on gasoline and
other motor fuels, Mr. Nunn has
promised to raisethe annual state
appropriations for rural roads
from $10 million to 825 million.

Highways A Target

The highway department, of
which Mr. Ward is a formercom~
missioner, has been a frequent
target of attack for Mr. Nunn.

He has accused the depart-
ment of neglecting rural roadsfor
the interstate system, but also
has said that the interstate sys-
tem is behind other states.

Citing a United States De
partment ofTransportation study,
Mr. “Nunn has said that six of
seven neighboring states have
progressed faster than Kentucky
in the interstate field.

According to that report, Ken-
tucky has completed 47 percent
of its scheduled interstate miles.
Missouri ranked highest of Ken-
tucky’s neighbors with 68percent
completed, and West Virginia has
completed45 percent.

Mr. Nunn has charged Mr.

Ward with trying to ”hide the

,truth from us with paper im-

agery. ,
Would Strengthen Assembly

To carry out many of the
programs needed by the state, Mr.
Nunn has supported strengthen-
ingthe legislature.

"For 20 years the Kentucky
legislature has been dominated
and manipulated and sometimes
scomed by the govemor‘soffice,"
the platform reads.

”The Nunn team will create
a climate in which the legisla-
ture will be more responsive to
the people."

Mr. Nunn, however, does not
favor constitutional reform. ”The
people have spoken on that mat—
ter." he said.

A proposed new constitution
was rejected at the polls last
fall.

It is likelv that, as the campus
gets over the shock of the lack
week, resistance will crystalize
against the legislature, which is
now running a HUAC-style in-
vestigation of the whole affair,
and against individuals like
State Senator McFarland who
at one point said “student
demonstrators ought to be shot."

For now, however, all future
action is in 'the talking stage
in dozens of little groups in
homes. in coffee shops and in
seminar rooms.

Outwardly the campus is
calm, as if all sides were off
quietly licking their wounds.
Behind the facade are bubbling
the ingredients for me later

Efficiency Is Key To Curbing Taxes, Ward Says

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN

State government, says Henry
Ward, is big business, and like
big business only a person with
experience both as an adminis-
trator and an executive can run it.

“I’ve had the experience. I
have the know-how. I've demon-
strated as an executive the abil-
ity to have an efficient operation
and because of this I'm very pos-
itive I could get more from the
money available than a governor
who has no experience in govem-
ment," he says.

”No corporation would hire
someone to run a business who
has no experience in it . . . Ex-
perience and know-how teach
you that you can move rapidly,
and that's part of the saving."

This, in essence, is how the
Democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nee plans to increase teacher
salaries, build more highWays
and provide more jobs in the
Commonwealth without increas-
ingtaxes.

Mr. Ward likes to point to
his record as highway commis-
sioner, where it has been said,
he saved the state more money
than any of his predecessors.0ne
newspaper put the figure in 1964
at $600,000, but Mr. Ward now

says, ”There‘s really no way of
telling how many MILLIONS
ofdollars we saved."

'No More Taxes'

He accuses his COP oppo-
nent, Louie B. Nunn, of threat-
ening a tax raise ”without spe-
cifying which segment of our
society might suffer the raise.”
This analysis is based on Judge
Nunn's demands for a review of
the whole tax structure in Ken-
tucky.

The former newspaperman, on
the other hand, says he opposes

 

Campaign ’67'

 

any new or increased taxes, and
pledges to lower taxes when op—
portunities arise.

He pins his hopes for new
revenue to carry out his pledges
on the “continuation of the eco-
nomic growth Kentucky has made
plus the federal sharing of tax
revenue."

Mr. Ward has committed him-
self to "keeping the lid on"
existing tax ceilings imposed on
local governments. ‘
