SC Feels
Ombudsman

‘Its Role’

Student Government Presi-
dent Steve Cook says some SC
representatives oppose his orn-
budsman proposal because they
“feel it is their role to pose as
ombudsmen."

"The representatives don’t
understand the position entire-
ly,” he says. “We’ll try again
to explain it to them. But many
are new to SC and dori't know
their limitations. They have had,
as yet, no dealings with the
administration here."

As Cook describes it, the
ombudsman would aid individ-
ual students with complaints
against the faculty, administra-
tion or SC itself.

Asked if an ombudsman
would help students who had
been dismissed from the Uni-
versity for academic or disci-
plinary reasons, Cook replied
negatively.

J-Board’s Role

“There is a judicial board for
that,” he said. “However, if
there were complaints about the
entire system, then the ombuds-
man would try to help.”

Cook said an individual orn-
budsman could aid a student
more effectively and faster than
could the SC assembly. .

"I can't handle everything,”

he said. "My job is, concerned
‘with the student body. The
problems of an individual may
not represent those of the stui
dent body."

Ellis Bullock and Bob Valen-
tine are now working in the
capacity of ombudsmen. They
were appointed, Cook said, be-
cause of their experience work-
ing for the University.

"I appointed them even
though the assembly would not
approve it,” he said. “The rep-
resentatives haven't realized
their actions may not represent
the views of the student body.”

Dr. Richard Butwell, director of the Patterson School of Diplo-

macy, speaks at the first of a series of YMCA-sponsored "Tavern

Talks." Dr. Butwell told some 40 students Thursday night that

responsibility for the war in Vietnam lies with them, as well as
President Johnson.

Sedition Statute
j‘Unconstitutional’

By LEE BECKER
Federal Appelate Judge Bert T. Combs, speaking for a majority
of a three-judge panel, Thursday declared a section of Kentucky's

sedition law unconstitutional.

Five antipoverty workers ac-
cused of advocating the over-
throw of the Pike County gov-
ernment were released on cog-
nizance pending possible appeal
of the ruling.

The panel struck down K.R.S.
432.040, the section of the Ken-
tucky statute that bans "teach-
ing, publishing, joining a society
to advocate criminal syndicalism
or sedition."

“It is the judgment of this
court that the statute is over-
broad, vague and sweeping,”
Judge Combs ruled.

dJudge Combs said that, be-
si es being unconstitutional,
Kentucky's law also violates the
federal Smith Act and therefore
is not enforceable.

Responsibility For Vietnam Lies
With All Americans, Butwell Says

By DANA EWELL
Dr. Richard Butwell, director
of the Patterson School of Di-
plomacy, said Thursday respon-
sibility for the situation in Viet-
nam lies with every American.
Dr. Butwell challenged some
”students at the 'first in a series
of YMCA-sponsored “Tavern
Talks" to accept this responsi-
bility.
Speaking at Mario's he ex—
plained that the same Americans
who were so afraid of Barry

‘Coldwater have allowed Presi-

dent Johnson to “reverse his
stand 180 degrees" with but mod-
est reaction. ,

"If people don't speak out,
then maybe they deserve what
the government gives them," Dr.
Butwell said.

The atmosphere was informal.

Mock Trial Set Today

on, Academic Freedom

Academic freedom is on trial today at the Law Building from
1 to 4 pm. and the public is invited.

Members of the UK com-
munity will have a chance to
observe an academic-freedom
trial with many of the aspects
of controversial cases in the
past.

The trial, a mock case based
on similar circumstances relat-
ing to a .free speech issue in
Illinois, is part of the Law
School's Practice Law course.
Prof. James R. Richardson, the
instructor, will preside.

This is the background for
the trial:

Dr. Sigafoos Freud, professor
of humanities at Puritan Univer—
sity, has filed suit against P.U.
for “allegedly being dismissed
without cause."

UK law student Steve Bcshear
is cast as Dr. Freud. The prose-
cuting attorneys are Curtis
Quindry and Steve Spiller, both
third-year UK law studct'ns.

Alan Lips and Jack Jennings,
also third—year law students, are
counsel for the defense.

Under governing regulations
of Puritan University, a faculty
member with tenure may be

dismissed for three reasons: im-
moral conduct, incompetence
and failure to perform duties.

Charges Outlined

Lips said Dr. Freud was dis-
missed for allegedly “advocat-
ing and teaching free love, in-
cluding the suggestion that a
lab be set up for the course
Courtship and Marriage, and for
the teaching of Communism."

“The central issue here con-
cerns how far I went and how
close to the boundaries of aca-
demic freedom I came,” Dr.
Freud said.

He denied he was involved
in any form of sexual promiscu—
ity. “I cannot avoid discussion
of the various sex practices and
customs of different people, be-
cause societies'are based largely
upon the sexual drive and ac—
companving mores of people.”

Ouindry said Dr. Freud is
asking for three things from the

University: reinstatement, lost
wages, and damages to his
reputation.

munched pizza or drank coffee
as Dr. Butwell gave a rapid and
straightforward summation of the
history and present situation in
Vietnam.

LB] ‘Lonely, Tragic'
He dwelt on the subject of

LB], who he sees as a "lonely
and extraordinarily tragic figure.

”No one in the United States
wants peace more than LBJ,"
Dr. Butwell continued, but he
cannot, perhaps by virtue of the
American political system and
the kind of man he is, say
‘I am President of the United
States and I am wrong.‘ "

Dr. Butwell then posed the
question, ”Is it possible to have
a change of policy without a
change of administration?

”But what, in effect, do we
do now?" he continued. ” . ..
No problem can ever be solved

have had their fingers burned

John King, A618 junior, seems to hesitate before signing his bid

Bid Night, when rushees formally pledged in 19 fraternities on
campus. A list of the pledge: will be published at a later date.

He was joined in his decision
by Louisville District Judge
James Gordon.

‘Indisputable’ Evidence

Lexington District Judge Ber-
nard Moynahan, in dissenting,
said that while it is “indisput-
able” that the law is unconstitu-
tional, he felt the panel should
“abstain" from ruling on it.

He said the law should first go
through the courts of the state.

“I do not think that the gov-
ernment of Pike County and
Kentucky can be 'overthrown
without in part overthrowing
the United States government,"
Judge Combs ruled. .

“The federal courts therefore
have exclusive jurisdiction in
the field. We are of the opinion
that this court can prevent the
trial from being held," he said.

members of the Southern Con-
ference Educational Fund, and

United Press international

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Prcsi-
dent Johnson told the nation's
police chiefs Thursday that
summer race riots in major
cities were spawned by “poison-
ous propagandists" who prcycd
on the emotions of the genuine-
ly underprivileged.

The President flew from
Washington with Attorney Gen-
eral Ramsey Clark to speak to
the 74th annual convention of
the International Association of
Chiefs of Police and planned a
visit later Thursday with formerg
President Harry S Truman at
nearby Independence.

Johnson used the convention
occasion primarily to urge
stronger public support for ad—
ministering crime control legis-
lation, 3‘ including a new gun
sale 15w, now pending in con-
gress. But the chief executive
also took a look at summer

violence in the cities, calling it
intolerable and reminding state
and local authorities that the
federal government could not
and would not usurp their basic
police responsibilities for main—
taining law and order.

Raised New Threat

“The violence of this sum-
mer raised up a new threat to
local law enforcement," the
President said. "It spawned a

residences halls could be
equipped with the service with
the next decade.

In the meantime, Dr. Owen
is working on a more immediate
concern; setting up a closed-
circuit television studio in Tay—
lor Education Building.

Present plans call for the cir—
cuit to link the. major classroom
buildings on campus, including
those of Law, Engineering,
Chemistry and Physics, and
Commerce. The nine community
colleges will eventually be con-
nected with the studio, Dr.
Owen said.

He said work on a temporary
studio would begin in about
two weeks. He expressed hope
that equipment would be mov-

ing by January.

“TV can be utilized to stim-
ulate discussion or summarize
a lecture,” Dr. Owen said. He
noted that a professor could
save as much as 10 classroom
lectures by taping a lecture and
showing it to 500 students simul-
taneously.

“The idea that a teacher must
be in the classroom for learning
to take place isn't always true,"
Dr. Owen said.

He added that television
“isn't a magic wand that auto-
matically solves all problems."

Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy

Mr. Goodrich is o PILD. candidate
in psychology. He is currently em-
ployed u o therapist with the Com-
prehensive Care Center.

By DAVE COODRICK

Charlie Brown and the kids
on his street, to hear them tell
it, live in a world of kite-eating
trees and dogs that are really
World War I pilots incognito.

uYou'll Flip, Charlie Brown,"
is one more collection of the great
humor we've come to expect from
Charles Schulz.

Charlie and his friends have
overly identified with the inter-
personal stratagems of the adult
world. They have their own set of
"Games Children Play," and are
outrageously hilarious until we-
recognize that they are revealing
imitations of the games of the
grown-up world.

Long Line Of Disasters

Charlie Brown, with the corn-
posure of someone who’s been
nursing an ulcer for years, is the
inveterate failure who can't even
win the approval of his psychi-
atrist.

His usual day, one long line
of disasters, becomes so predict-
able that' you know any comic
sequence can never Be ended un-
til Charlies has once more been
squelched.

Some people compulsively re-
peat trivial actions or manner-
isms, but Charlie Brown is one
person whose life can besummed
up as one huge repetitive com-
pulsion.

Lucy Van Pelt has little dif-
ficulty in her interpersonal re-
lations; she only insists that she
has her way entirely with every-
one who crosses her path.

She is most at home with
her narcissism when she sets
herself up as self-appointed psy-

‘Bedfellows’
Aired At SUB

”Strange Bedfellows," a com—
edy starring Rock Hudson and
Gina Lollobrigida is scheduled
for three showings this weekend
in the Student Center Theater.

The movie is about an up-
and-coming oil executive who
has to indulge his estranged wife.

His better half hurts the ”com-
pany image" with her association
with protest groups.

The shows run at 6:30 pm.
and 9:15 pm. Saturday and at

‘3 pm. Sunday. Tickets are 50

cents.

chiatrist of the block. Rather
than adjust to others, she simply
tries to change the world.

The ‘Masked Marvel'

Snoopy spends most of his
time discovering his doghood,
fantasizing grandiose adventures
that would be the envy of any
self-respecting paranoid.

In a series of multiple person-
alities that would jolt the three
faces of Eve, Snoopy tries his
hand at being a World War I
ace, an arm wrestling champion
known as the ”Masked Mar-
vel," a manic art collector, a
piranha and the psychiatrist who
falls asleep whenever Charlie
Brown tries to talk about his
insecure feelings.

a Romp Again In New Shultz Book

With Snoopy and Lucy tak-
ing turns at playing psychiatrist,
it’s little wonder that their psy—
chopathology runs rampant;
they're the only ones on the
block who manages to escape sub-
jection to Lucy's contribution to
mental health, a new method
which might best be termed ”Ir-
relevant Therapy. "

Perhaps psyching' out Charlie
Brown and The Group is’unwar-
ranted for such whimsical char-
acters. The fact remains, none-
theless, that Schultz's frequent
book-form samples of his master-
ful comic strip emerge as un-
paralleled humor.

~- ' Negroes Deserve Option

While it may have lacked the
I flamboyance of its predecessor, this
year’s Bitch—In Wednesday at the
Student Center pointed up just one
more deplorable facet of Negro
life at UK.

The matter of options.

At one point Campus Commit—
tee on Human Rights President
Bill Turner told an unnamed stu—
dent about his gripe with the Greek
system; “that fraternities keep Ne-
groes out." Earlier in the Bitch-
In sharp criticism had been leveled
at fraternities. According to the
student Turner’s gripe was a real
contradiction, because he couldn’t
understand why a Negro would
want membership in a fraternity
if what fraternities represent is so
inadequate.

What is unfortunate is that such
reasoning appears to pervade too
much of the University student

    

community. ~Bill Turner was not
contradicting himself. He was say-
ing very plainly that what he and
other Negro students want is the
option, the open alternative to
choose, without consideration of
race, whether to become fraternity
members or not. He was asking
that he be given the same option
which other students have: the
right of even turning down frater-
nity membership. '-

Some would argue that no stu-
dent has such a right, that it is
the fraternity itself which chooses
whether a student will become a
member. Yet the reality of fraterni—
ty life argues differently, for there
are few, few White Anglo Saxon
Protestants who complain that they
could not become Creeks if they
really wanted to'. The question,
dear old dad writes his freshman
son, is not, ”Can you become a
fraternity man?" but ”Will you"
or ”When are you going to be-
come a fraternity man?” The choice
of accepting or rejecting fraternity
life is in fact the student’s, and
the reality of the choice has noth-
ing to do with the quality or worth
of fraternities.

That alternative is what Bill
Turner and other UK Negroes are
asking for now.

Football Editorial Attacked As Ludicrolis

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

You have outdone yourself. Your rep-
utation as ”The South's Outstanding Col-
lege Daily" stands in jeopardy after the
journalistic miscarriage entitled, “Para-
lyzing Combat Must End" occurred on
your editorial page Wednesday.

Your assumption that you had the
duty or the privilege to blame someone
or some group for the scrimmage acci—
dents was grossly and entirely incorrect.
As long as the equipment is adequate
(it is according to Coach Bradshaw), the
athletes are properly conditioned (they
are according to Coach Bradshaw), and
there was no foul play involved (and
there was not), there is no one to blame
in such accidents.

Your placing the blame on the faculty,
administration, and students is nothing
short of ludicrous. Is it up to these groups
to stop the ”know-no-better" athletic
department from playing their silly game
of football before more get hurt as your
editorial implies?

' Football is a game of brutal body con—
tact. The fans know that and the non-
fans know that. But better than anyone
else the players know best that they risk
injury when they go out intending to run
into one another at full speed. It is ex-
tremely doubtful that any of the injuries
were intentional. They are part of the
game and a fact which the players are
well aware of every time they go onto
the field.

A defense of big-time college football
is not difficult, nor should it be necessary.

The widespread and growing popularity
and success it enjoys serves that purpose
well enough.

The accusation that the “responsi-
bility" lies in the hands of the students,
faculty, administration and athletic de—
partment is unfounded and ridiculous
enough to have you lose your readership
and your status as ”Outstanding etc.,
etc."

Given the hypothesis that Kentucky
was a perennial football power, picked
to be number one in the SEC this year
and none of the injuries had occurred,
would the editorial ”mistake" still have
appeared? I doubt it, although the risks
involved would have been exactly the
'same.

It is said that over 1,000 suicides
and countless mental breakdowns will
occur this year on the na ion's campuses
due to academic pressu . For your next
Don Quixotic crusade you might want to
call for a re-examination of the ”purpose
and manner" of the academic aspect of
higher education.

There can be no question at all that
there was a ”responsibility" for the edi-
torial in question. Paradoxically it is that

Center. Channel 27 was invited to cover
the event so that the local populace might
keep up with campus activities.The bitch-
in was intended as a means of communi-
cating to the public the reasons why good
Negro students and athletes shy away from
UK.

After watching the 11 pm. news
on Channel 27 I am appalled!!! A short
film clip was‘shown of Bernie Shively
telling the audience that it was not the
University's fault that Butch Beard did
not come to UK. The purpose ofthe bitch-
in was not to show why Butch Beard
did not attend UK but rather to point
out the social conditions that the Negro
student meets when he does attend.Chan—
nel 27's coverage looked like nothing but
pro-University propaganda and a white-
wash of the administration.

Apologizes To Davenport

I would like to apologize to Dr. Guy
Davenport for the rudeness I showed to-
ward him at the Wednes . Bitch-In.
My remarks to him were intemperate and
uncalled-for. No man who espouses
human rights can rightfully deny another
man the right to speak. I am sure that
a man of Dr. Davenport’s stature took
the remarks from whom they came. How-
ever I do want to make this public apol-
ogy to him.

Writer Misspelled Name

Very eagerly I picked up the Monday
issue of The Kernel expecting to see what
I said about my country crystallizing
among its lines; but lo and behold, under
the title, ”Lebanese Engineering Students
Criticize U.S., Defend Arab Cause," I
saw only the political part published. To
tell you the truth I was very disappointed
to find out that you excluded beautiful
facts about Lebanon that every Lebanese
would be proud to tell every American
about. Things like the geographical set-
ting of Lebanon which makes it an ex-
cellent and summer and winter resort,
historic facts like the alphabet was found
and had its go (sic) from our Phouec-
ian shores and that the oldest city in

Miscarriage

the world, Byblos, is found in Lebanon.
Facts like these and many other personal
opinions about miniskirted girls with hair
curlers parading on campus were never
mentioned.

Above all sir, is The Kernel a uni—
versity paper or is it a firstgrade class
where people learn how to spell names
and report facts correctly. My name was
spelled twice as Naidar instead ofHaidar.
Have pity on it; our names are beauti—
ful and they mean a lot to us in our
language. My friend, Mr. Wakim; what is
his fault to become Mr. Wawik classi-

fied as a freshman in The Kernel while ~

he is a sophomore according to the ac-
cepted laws of UK? Pray tell me. This
not to mention the fact' that I am a
Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry and not
in Civil Engineering. You see, my friends
in the Chemistry Department did not
realize that we were the same person;
and I am sure that the students and
faculty of the College of Engineering are
now looking for this mysterious, unregis-
tered Ph.D. student not to say the least
about the shock that my grandmother
back home will have when she finds out
that I have changed my major here.

Do me a favor next time please; when
you want a political interview (I will be
more than willing to“ give my opinion),
do not let a reporter come under the
false pretense of finding out whether I
like miniskirts and hair curlers; and please
do not spoil our names and ranks or
quote sentences out of their context.

Do me one more favor please. Have
this letter appear, as it is, in the next
issue of the Kernel without editing it
and take good care of my signature.

Jake Holmes Fantastic

I think that the University should be
commended for bringing such great talent
as Jake Holmes to our campus. His shows
are really fantastic.

It would be an understatement to say
that Mr. Holmes shpuld be asked to return
to Lexington as much as possible. He is
beyond any doubt a musical artist in the
finest form.

Blight Reunification Effort

By HOWARD KERCHEVAL

Secretary of Defense Robert
McNamara announced late, last
week that a barbed wire barricade
will be built just south of the
demilitarized zone, across Viet-
nam. The Secretary, who has op-
posed such a measure in the past,
would not elaborate further than
to say the barrier will be aug-
mented by electronic devices.

Called mahy things—some
good and some bad—the pro-
posed barricade (already under
preparation) has been dubbed

the “McNamara Line." That
brings to mind other historic
examples such as Hadrian's Wall,
the Great Wall in China, and

 

 

more recently but equally futile,

the Maginot Line.

. As' may be recalled from dus-
ty and long-forgotten history
books, Hadrian's Wall was mere-
ly an emperor’s notice of his
outer boundary, the Great Wall
was mostly an attempt at psy—
chological dissuasion, and one
need look no further back than
three deCades to know the value
of the Maginot Line.

With this knowledge it is per—
haps in order to ask just what

purpose the barrier is expected
to serve.

of Vietnam from the South China
Sea to the Laotian border, much
of the Ho Chi Minh Trail will
remain open and negotiable.
The alternative would be to
extend the barrier across Laos.
Such a niove, however, has been
publicly opposed by Prince Sou-
vanna Phouma, who holds that
it would be a violation of the
1962 Geneva accords on Laotian
neutrality. Others argue that to
slice Laos in half with the bar-
rier, with or without the ap-
proval of Souvanna Phouma,
would risk grave political conse-

-, quences and might effectively

Its avowed purpose, of course,
is to stop or at least hamper
infiltration of men and supplies
from the North. If the barricade
covers just the 44-mile “waist"

give northern Laos over to Com-
munist control forever.

Some foes of the barricade
maintain that to be effective as
a restrictive measure and simul-
taneously avoid a political
