questioned Dean Hall about the
right of the Administration to
quiet any demonstration.
Hall answered1 by assuring
students it is not his responsibility to declare a demonstration
"peaceful or not peaceful, leg'al
or illegal," adding that the decision is left up to the University
president.
He stated also that the code
is "no attempt on the part of
the Dean of Students Office to
prevent peaceful protest."
Power Of Authorities
The power of civil authorities on campus.
Many students objected to
section 1.31 of the code, which
states that "any student who
violates such standards of conduct is subject to discipline by
the institution, regardless of
whether or not action is taken
against the student by civil authorities on account of such vio-

lation."
Asked why there was a need
for University disciplinary measures in cases where civil authorities are involved, Bell answered,

"So you can . . . govern yourselves. You've got to work among
yourselves."
Dr. Zumwinkle stated that an
important function of the code is
"to protect the University's educational mission and protect
students." He stressed the importance of what he termed
laws in order to keep
outside authorities off campus.
The right of students to help
write the student code.
Questioned whether he ever
asked for students to help write
the revised code, Bell answered,
"No, sir," but added that all

the code subcommittee meetings

were open to interested students.
Bell stated also that the code
still needs revision, terming the
short amount of time used in
the preparation of the document as "ridiculous."
Open Hearing Questioned
Students and the Judicial and
Appeals Boards.

Students

questioned

the

code's definition of an "open
(Section
hearing" of the
3.319) as "representatives of the
press and four persons invited
by the accused student."
Bell stated that if hearings
were "open to the public, the
court would t become in effect
a showplace.
After assuring students that
every one is guaranteed the right
to petition for appeal, Bell was
asked about Section 6.34, which
reads, "In the event of an appeal,
the president may increase or
decrease the punishment imposed
by the Appeals Board."
Decrease Punishment
Bell denied that the word
"increase" was written in the
original draft of the code, claiming that President Otis Single-tar- y
had asked only for the right
to decrease punishment.
Lew Colten, a junior from
Philadelphia, called the student
code "the most repressive
document this university has ever published." He
called for the resignation of Bell
and other trustees.
"If you don't resign," Colten
said, "there is no set of rights
and responsibilities that will keep
these students from marching on
this campus."
Colten did not elaborate on
any specific protest.
The forum was sponsored by
the UK Civil Liberties Union,
which will hold another open
meeting for discussion of the code
at noon, Sept. 23, in the field
across from Holmes Hall.

'Kids Can Teach You9

Tutorial Group Needs Volunteers

College .campuses offer a

is no exception. There is usually
no problem finding people to fill
positions on these boards or
clubs but the program entitled
Kentuckians Interested in Disadvantaged Students(KIDS) may
be an exception.
KIDS is a tutorial program designed to aid grade school students of the local Lexington elementary schools, and Diane
Lobis, curator of that group,
stressed the need for more response from interested students.
"There are just too many disadvantaged students in the city
to be ignored because of a lack

of interested UK students," Miss
Lobis said.
Need Applicants
In previous years the count of
tutors, ranging from freshmen to
seniors, numbered approximately
104 annually. But this year KIDS
has only about 70 to open its
program, which begins today.

The program itself stresses

and individual talents that the
student may possess. According
to Miss Lobis, "the child is a

problem with KIDS. Money is
needed for supplies such as water
paints and books, educational
materials, and publicity. Maintenance of an "old Volkswagen
bus" is also necessary.
Finances usually take the form
of student donations from dorms
and student dorm governments.
"We even got $5 from a little
old lady last year," Diane replied.
'Kids Teach You
"More than a feeling of accomplishment that a tutor gets
from working with young students," Miss Lobis said, "kids
can teach you. We're trying to
break away from the realm of
Mickey Mouse, and are really
trying to get involved with these

kids."

Asked about the success of
the program. Miss Lobis expressed a feeling of optimism.
"The program was somewhat
disorganized before," she said,
"but there's a crying need for
this type of thing in the city."
The KIDS program meets
three times a week at the East-eand Manchester Center and
will close on Dec. 10.

Caught by Surprise!
This statue of former UK President James Patterson seems to have
a look of surprise upon its face as a warm UK coed cuddles up
in the statue's cold lap of stone. Needless to say, it is doubtful
that this odd affair can continue for very long due to the complete
lack of "communication" between the two lovers.

Kentuckian Editor States Goals;
Staff Creates Several New Ideas
Even though the 1970 Kentuckian hasn't returned from the
printers, the 1971 yearbook staff
is already doing its thing.
Susan Crimsley, 70-7- 1 editor,
stated yesterday the purposes the
staff hopes to accomplish through
the book.
"We're not going to evade
controversial issues that are relevant to a student's life. We
hope that years from now, students will be able to look through
the book and be able to remember
the good times they had," explained Miss Crimsley.
The book will report on
campus activities and issues
during the school year 1970-7Miss Crimsley explained that
they "will editorialize in justified areas," but that most of the
book will "hopefully be a complete and artistically good coverage of events."
'Senior Supplement
The staff also is planning a
"senior supplement" to appear in
May before graduation. This sup
1.

will include senior
plement
pictures and coverage of campus
events of the past four years.
Seniors who have paid their fees
will get the supplement in May
and the regular book next September.
Staff members are assembling
a history of the University by
researching the Archives. They
are comparing the University in
its initial stages to the present.
Another new aspect of the
1970 Kentuckian is individualized
coverage by participating groups
themselves. Any organized group,
fraternity or sorority which purchases a page can write its own
copy, submit its own pictures or
select from the Kentuckian files
and plan its pose for the group
picture, subject to the editor's
approval.
Full Coverage
Groups who don't buy a page
will also have coverage.
"We also want to present
pictures in such a manner that
others can gain an understanding

of what other groups are trying
to accomplish," Miss Crimsley
continued.
Interviews with seniors and
freshmen are also a new highlight.
"Our campus is a small part
of the world and relates to it
nationally. We want to show how
our campus deals with present
issues such as dmg usage, pop
festivals, abortion, birth control,
racism," the editor said.
Campus coverage will also include football, classroom coverage, beauty queens and so on,
she added.
Summing up her goals Miss
Crimsley stated, "We want a
book that makes the students
aware and to remember what
goes on whether controversial,
entertaining or scholarly."
Yearbook prices and sales
won't be determined until bids
are received, but Miss Crimsley
estimates the regular book will
cost around $5, with the supplement selling for $3.

'Grad Life '
GI'SA Handbook Gives Graduate
'Inside' Look at UK Life Style
The University of Kentucky Graduate and Professional
Student Association (CPSA) has published a handbook
which is called "A Preliminary Cuide to Craduate Life."
and designed to aid the graduate student in adjusting to
life at the University.
Since the University is an integral part of Lexington
and the Blue Crass region, transportation, motels, the
interstate roads, Cincinnati and Louisville, all are dis- -'
cussed at some length.
Compiled from informal survey findings among graduate and professional students, the book analyzes entertainment; rates restaurants; compares banks; scrutinizes
drug and grocery stores, and advises regarding
campus housing.
One section is devoted to utilities, and Central Kentucky radio stations are noted as playing "country and
prehistoric" music. "Night life in Lexington," is termed
"misleading" and UK parking is recommended in II ammer-fes- t,
Norway.
The graduate or professional student, according to the
Handbook, is urged to make a lot of friends and to "look
forward to a year rich in the warm shared experiences of
private partying." Then of course, if all else fails, the local
"dial a prayer" number is listed.
Copies may be obtained from the CPSA office.

* A Community on Trial
The arrest of Dr. Phillip Crossen in the aftermath of last weekend's
rock music festival is a clear example of the subplanting of justice by
the wishes of a repressive community. This incredible arrest must be
viewed as the direct result of community pressure on elected officials
to purge those who are sympathetic to the young.

Local press coverage and the comments of County Attorney E. Larson King clearly represent the injustice which has been accorded Dr.
Crossen. ZUe coverage of the festival and Crossen's association with
it was conducted with obvious bias and much fabrication. King's
participation was typical of his continuing attempts to rid UK and the
Lexington community of anyone he finds personally unacceptable.
Officials used the excuse of inadequate sanitary facilities as a reason
to halt the festival. The truth is that Public Health officers approved
the festival's food services as well as its trash removal, water and
toilet facilities. In addition, the festival's organizers went to great
lengths not only to provide adequate facilities but to furnish a
d
medical tent.

Much outcry was raised about the damage done by festival participants. However, Dr. Crossen reports negligible damage to his farm
and points out that the sponsors of the event made satisfactory reparation to the owner of a garden which was damaged by the crowd.

Another issue of much concern was drug use at Crossen's farm.

The local press painted the picture of

excessively.

The grounds for Crossen's arrest point out the legal weaknesses
of the case against him. The three counts of operating a place of
entertainment without a license are particularly questionable. If these
counts are upheld perhaps the Lexington Police Department should
move in on Stoll Field, or more likely, church socials and fraternity
parties held for fun or profit.
The other two charges seem nearly as unreasonable, but we can
only conjecture about the charge of contributing to the delinquency
of minors, for the prosecution has not at this time cited the basis for
the charge. .If the charge of allowing minors to drink on one's property
is upheld, hundreds of. Fayette County households could be subject.
All this points to an unreasonable and injust community attitude.
There is a strong possibility that Crossen was helping the community which is persecuting him far more than he was harming it. The
public's refusal to allow the young to meet for their common pursuit
of happiness merely forces the youths to revert to their small, unobserv-abl- e
and potentially dangerous groups. It also
the basic
distrust and hostility many youths feel toward their elders and the
community leaders. This point is illustrated by a recent action in Portland, Oregon, where the American Legion held its convention. City officials, fearing youthful protests, organized a rock music festival outside
the city to provide an alternative source of entertainment for the young.
The tactic worked.
Perhaps those concerned about Dr. Crossen's arrest should not be
too upset so soon. Surely our community has not reached such a repressive stage that a man can be prosecuted for actions which injured no
one, and actually violated no laws.
The physician's arrest has initiated a case whose outcome will determine the guilt or innocence of a community, not that of Phillip S.
Crossen, M.D.
