WASHINGTON

President
Johnson this afternoon asked a
leary Congress to make changes
in the present draft, system to
bring it into line with recommendations made by his special

draft study panel.
The President sidestepped the
question of student deferments,
saying the matter is still under
study, but asked that deferments
be generally tightened.

The President's message to
Congress also included the call
to draft the youngest first, rather than the older as is now
done; selection by a lottery; and
an end of deferments for most

fathers, graduate students, and
special jobs.
In a message transmitted from
the Texas White House, the
President said that many of the
new rules will not go into effect immediately

The Paper Cranes

It appears to us that the United
States government fs bordering on
unconstitutionality in its recent
attempts to block the bank accounts of a group of Quakers in
Philadelphia, pacifists who have
sent medical supplies to the South
Vietnamese and are now attempting to extend the same measures
to people living in the North of
Vietnam.
Despite these attempts to freeze
their funds, the Quakers were
nevertheless able to raise $30,000
for medical supplies for the North
Vietnamese.
In addition, the U.S. government has refused Quaker requests
to send this aid through regular
channels to the North Vietnamese
because "it regards them as enemies." We cannot help but wonder
if the Johnson Administration is
so fearful of this small amount
of humanitarian aid to people in
d
need, or if it is so
it is afraid of the unfavorable publicity which will undoubtedly develop.
The Quakers are hoping to send
the supplies into Haiphong on
a
white ketch, the Phoenix,
anwhose skipper is
thropologist, Quaker and veteran
of pacifist protests, Earle R. Reynolds. If the trip is given approval by the U.S. and North
Vietnamese
Reygovernments,
nolds hopes to take his Japanese
wife, Akie, and seven others, mostly Quakers, along.
When the Phoenix arrived in
Hiroshima's harbor, where it is
currently at dock, it was greeted
by a dozen Hiroshima schoolgirls
who bore portraits of their relatives who had perished in the
1945 atomic bomb explosion. The
girls decked out the crew in garlands of paper flying cranes, the
Japanese peace symbol, and unfurled the Stars and Stripes and
North Vietnamese
a home-mad- e
flag.
The Phoenix will sail the last
of this month for its destination

It is against this the mighty
United States government is apparently so fearful that it has tried
to cut off finances for the project
and may refuse to validate travel
passports for the group.
As the Kernel has maintained
so many times since the advent
of the Vietnam war, this war is
not like the terrible World Wars
in which our citizenry and our
ships were attacked by a vicious
and virtually inhuman enemy.
These were wars in which we were
fully justified to retaliate to our

fullest. In Vietnam we are fighting a people who fired at us because we stood in their way and
dared them to shoot.
This leads us to the conclusion
that those on the Phoenix mission

Red Cross has not rejected the
Phoenix project outright but has
warned of possible danger from
United States bombing. But Reynolds feels his group will be accepted under the terms it considers itself fully responsible for
its own safety.
The Phoenix case, then, becomes one of big bombs and unjust participation in a war by
the United States, versus a small,
peaceful, humanitarian group with

Letters To The Editor

Rupp Editorial Criticized As Season Ends
To the Editor of the Kernel:
Well, it does one proud to see
that the Kernel staff has finally
"seen the light." ..It makes one
proud to be a member of that
grand old Nation which used to
believe in democracy and ability.
Certainly it gives one a warm feeling in the general area of the
heart to see such a great man
as Adolph Rupp rewarded by the
special tribute being payed to him
by the paper of the school which
he made a place of note in the
American scheme of things.

Let's take a brief look at the
facts and ask ourselves some questions. What was the status of basketball at the University of Kentucky before Rupp? What was the
status of basketball in the South
before Rupp? If you are old enough
to answer these questions, then
you realize the answer is obvious.
Clearly, someone on the Kernel
staff either doesn't remember or
conveniently forgot for a day!
The old argument that a school
is a place for more than basketball is not pertinent to the issue.
We all know that if you try hard
enough you can dig an educa-

tion out of the University.
it more than sufficient.

I

found

There used to be an old American fable that a man was judged
by his ability. It really is a pity
that our society doesn't believe
in fables any more. Maybe it is

because we are now a Great Society and can't be bothered by
little things like the fact that
Adolph Rupp is a man of immense ability who lias proven his
ability in a manner that most of
us will never achieve. This man
deserves the complete support and

respect of the school and its

mem-

bers.

For many a year I have watched
the Kernel stumble along its path
sometimes good, sometimes bad.
But this time you've outdone yourselves. If this attitude is indicative
of the reward given to a man who
saw a problem and dedicated his
life to solving it, then it really
isn't all worth much, is it?
Someone once said that heroes
always stand alone. If you feel the
need for any support, Mr. Rupp,
Sir, and I doubt if you do, there
are a lot of us out here in the
wasteland ready to prove that
ability is still respected and that
we recognize what you have done
for the people and schools of Kentucky and the Nation.

Cafeteria For Students
I wish to make several comments on the Student Center cafeteria and its policies.
Recently, the cafeteria closed
on Saturdays; no public announcement (known to me) was made
as to the reason. This closing
seemed rather unusual in view of
the fact that classes are held on
Saturday morning.
More recently, a sign appeared
outside the cafeteria entrance, stating that after Feb. 24, users of
the cafeteria would have to show
student, faculty or staff identification (or be guests of persons who

had such identification).
Shortly afterward, a new sign
appeared, on which the effective

date was given as after Feb. 26
(to include Sunday). The Kernel,
in an article on this new policy,
alluded to the cafeteria's competition with privately owned eating
establishments and also to the
state sales tax (which persons eating at the Student Center cafeteria
are privileged not to pay).
My reaction to this was that
it was about time such action was
taken since (1) it seems to be
wrong to allow members of the
general public (who are not bona
fide guests) to eat there; (2) I
(and no doubt, others) have been
inconvenienced by having to wait
behind long lines of outsiders on
several occasions Sundays and
evenings in order to be served,
and (3) it does indeed seem wrong
for the cafeteria to compete with
privately owned eating establishments and for members of the general public to be exempted from
the state sales tax (causing a loss
of revenue for the state).
On Feb. 26, in addition to the
long line, we found a lady at a
table placed at the cafeteria entrance, soliciting the general public to apply for identification cards.
The effect of this identification
policy, if enforced, will be to make
everyone show some kind of iden-

tification; no one, it seems, will
be refused admittance. The net
effect will be one of harassment.
Students will continue to wait
behind long lines of persons who,
in my opinion, have no business
being there.
The primary

purpose of the
Student Center cafeteria should be
service to the students. I invite
comments of the administrators
responsible for the policies to which
I

object.

Education: One Man's Impact

FnED M. HECHINCEH

Vara Tlmti Newt Service
NEW YORK -- In 1937, just

as the first Soviet Sputnik led

to alarmed questioning about
American intellectual stamina,
the Carnegie Corporation commissioned James Bryant Conant
n
review of
to conduct a
high schools in the United States.
Two years later the first Conant
report, "The American High
School Today," was published.
It quickly became a houseone-ma-

school-conscio-

communities. Its 21 recommendations were rattled off much in
the fashion of an airplane pilot's
checklist to assure a safe flight.
This week Dr. Conant, now
73 and anxious to shed the man-ti- c
of the public schools' Dr.
Fixit, offered a reappraisal in a
new book, "The Comprehensive
High School: A Second Report
To Interested Citizens." His new
report showed significant improvements along with much unfinished business.
The crux of the original
Conant inquiry was based on his
belief that education for a Democratic society should depend
in large measure on a comprehensive high school to be attended by children of all shadings of ability, background and
aspiration. But while he saw this
as the prototype of the American
school, he was also aware that
lack of fiscal as well as intellectual commitment threatened
to waler down the content and to
economize on proper staffing of
such schools.
Today, he found, many more

schools satisfy some of his demands but only about 10 percent of the sample seem to have,
lived up to the total bill of re-

quirements.

Many schools had received an
infusion of academic vigor more
and better science and mathe-mati- c
instruction, substantial
gains in foreign languages and
better staffing of English courses.
But Dr. Conant also found that
a child's educational opportunities are still determined by the
accident of where he lives. He
found in questionnaires sent to
2,000 schools that 75 percent
were still improperly staffed for
English instruction.
Considering the low state of
academic offerings in the
schools, the early success of the Conant reform drive
was dramatic.
"Don't say it was all Conant," he said this week. "Undoubtedly I was riding a tide."
But after modestly putting
the early victories in perspective,
Conant replied to those of his
critics who consider him too
pragmatic and conventional.
"They charge I only took the
best things I found were already
being done and turned them
into my recommendations," he
said. "That's quite true, and I
don't apologize for it."
From the high schools, Dr.
Conant turned briefly to the junior highs and, in a pamphlet,
condemned their preoccupation
with marching bands and imitation varsity teams.
In 1961 he published "Slums
And Suburbs." For the first time
the reserved, understating New
England scientist and university
administrator appeared moved
by anger. He had seen the underprivileged slums andthepres- ik

sub-

urb. The sight offended his sense
of justice as much as his ideology
of education.
Ironically, he briefly infuriated some civil rights leaders because he placed less stress on
school integration than on tltc
reform of housing and employment patterns. He demanded
that ghetto children be taught
"marketable skills," and was accused of wanting to create an
army of shocshinc boys, when
he actually considered as "marketable" any vocation or profession that could absorb these
youngsters. (The Conant priori-tic- s
of

cducation-plus-employ-mc-

have since become more
widely accepted.)
Most important, Dr. Conant
dramatized the threat of an army
and
of
youths in the Negro slums.
He called it "social dynamite."
Soon the dynamite was to explode in tragic riots.
In 1963, Dr. Conant published what was to become his
most controversial report. "The
Education Of American Teachers." It was a blistering attack
on the teacher training establishment, the low quality of education courses, the often irrelevant criteria used to certify
teachers.
The reason for such inequalities, Dr. Conant said, is the
"chaotic" state of financing,
with some communities lagging
dangerously behind others and
with some states contributing
the lion's share and others less
than 15 percent.
Dr. Conant, after 20 years
as president of Harvard Universtint as
sity and a three-yeU.S. ambassador to West Germany, took on the school reform
assignment in 1957. In rapid
succession, he published six
books which, as even his critics
admit, have been of unequaled
impact. More than half a million copies of these books have
been sold. All royalties were
plowed back into research.
What was the story of this
remarkable mission?
Immediately after publication
of "The American High School
Today," Dr. Conant took his 21
recommendations to the American people, with the fervor of
Woodrow Wilson's crusade for
the League of Nations. He
