Mahan Resigns Position
As Safety, Security Mead
By TERENCE HUNT

Assistant Managing Editor
An upcoming division in the
department of safety and security
has resulted in the resignation of
the department's director.
W. Lloyd Mahan, department
director for the past two years,
submitted his resignation Friday.
It has been accepted by Robert
F. Kerley, vice president for business affairs, but will not become
effective until Nov. 30 because of
a backlog of vacation time due.

State Problems Explored
Problems in Eastern Kentucky
are linked to absentee ownership
of land and "archaic" government, the Student Bar Association was told Wednesday.
Harry Caudill, Whitesburg
attorney-authospeaking at the
weekly law forum said that
"while profits pile up in distant
places, we are left with the problems." He said the coal, oil and
mineral lands are mainly owned
by firms in New York and
r,

a.

As future shapers of

the law,

the law students were asked to
"assess the situation" since they
are "in a better position than
anyone else to do something

it."
"It is in the law and the

about

governmental structure that ultimate solutions to our problems
lie," Mr. Caudill said.
Mr. Caudill cited recent moves

toward reapportionment as steps
in the right direction. "Proper
representation will put political
power where economic power resides," he said, "and the problems of Eastern Kentucky in a
more realistic perspective."
Mr. Caudill called for "the
buying back of lands that are
now held by absentee owners
of an

district.
"Then

we can take our own
vast wealth and build the schools,
roads, lakes and forests that will
restore the prosperity of the
region," he said.
Caudill, author of "Night
Comes to the Cumberlands,"
noted that there has been an
immense volume of plans and
studies on Eastern Kentucky. All
that has resulted from them has
been more relief, he charged.

emphasis being placed on the Economic and Social
Council and foreign aid. Speakers from UN delegations are being scheduled by the Collegiate
Council for the UN, a New York group that
plans JLJNconferences for jchools across the nation.

There has been a misrepre-

sentation of the people as

un-

willing to help themselves, and
too eager to accept handouts and
relief, he said. "The thousands
of people who have left the area
for jobs in the larger cities of
the north have attested to their
eagerness and willingness to
stand on their own feet."
He asked that the country look
at the "other face of Eastern
Kentucky," a land of untold
mineral wealth, cited by a recent
business as "one of the richest
corners of the United States."

"Our job," he said, "is to
see that this wealth which exists
in the midst of poverty goes to
work for the region. We have to
develop a mechanism of law and
government that can cope with
the problem. It is a crisis that
can not long be delayed."

Contacted by the Kernel
earlier this week, Mr. Mahan
would only confirm his resignation and attribute the resignation
to "many reasons, but I don't
want to talk about it.
"It was a fairly abrupt decision but I did take a few days
to think it over," he added.
G. J. Ruschell, director of auxiliary services and Mr. Mahan's
immediate supervisor, attributed
the resignation to a planned
division of the department of
safety and security.
The current department will
be split into two individual departmentsone of safety andone
of security.
Mr. Mahan was offered the
position of director of the safety
department, but declined it, Mr.
Ruschell said.
An "adjustment of salary"
also accompanied the offer. Mr.
Mahan would have had to take
a salary decrease in heading only
one department, Ruschell said.
"We hate to see him go. lie
was a very dedicated individual,"
Ruschell added. "There were no
personal feelings."
Mr. Mahan Wednesday affirmed the division of the department as the prime reason for his
resignation.
"They made the division without adequate study," Mr. Mahan
claimed. "I disapproved of such
a change."
The departmental reorganization is not yet in effect. It is in
the process of change, according
to Ruschell.

Mr. Mahan has been personally asked to reconsider his

resignation at least five times
by vice president Kerley.
"The position is still open
for
him," Mr. Kerley said
Wednesday.
Mr. Kerley thinks one department combining
safety and
security is too much for the direction of one man.
"We have a safety program
but it needs improvement," the
vice president said. "It needs
the full effort of more personnel."
Mr. Kerley said the resignation is due to "an honest
difference of opinion on the de-

partment split."
Before his appointment to director of the safety and security

department in 1963, Mr. Mahan
was superintendent of the Unistation
versity's experimental
farms.
Mr. Mahan said he will become the farm manager of his
own "three or four hundred"
acre spread south of Lexington.

* A Questionable Policy
The decision by Student Congress last week to stay out of
political affairs apparently places
the student governing body in a
somewhat provincial role. It seems
Student Congress may be establishing a dangerous precedent if
they completely ignore issues not
directly involved with the University campus.
Although we admire the efforts
of Congress officers to organize
worthwhile programs for the University, we believe the body also
should be concerned with issues
which could involve each student.
Many of these issues may be of
a political nature, but Student Congress supposedly is a representative group and would be justified
in taking a stand on some political matters.
It is ironic that Student Congress is a member of the National
Student Association, an organization of student governing groups
which often makes strong comments on political affairs. We do
not suggest that Student Congress
here should agree with the NSA
policy that the United States
should halt all bombing in Vietnam.
Neither do we suggest that the
body adopt the resolution introduced last week supporting the
government's military policy in
South Vietnam. We do feel, however, that it is within the realm
of Student Congress to make some

comment on issues of this nature.
Student Congress in the past
has commented on some state and
national political issues. Perhaps
the body previously has spent too
much valuable time with insignificant questions. We are glad to
see this year's administration recognizes this danger, but we hope
they will not attempt to whitewash all issues which are not directly relevant to President Winston
Miller's programs.
We hope Millerdoes not actually
want Student Congress to have
such a limited scope. We feel the
body can make an important contribution in stimulating thought
among University students. As a
representative group, Student Congress should attempt to guide student opinion on such matters.
We hope Student Congress did
not fail to endorse the U.S. policy
on Vietnam simply because Congress officers thought it was unwise.
Each representative should personally consider such questions and
not hesitate to disagree with the
Administration.
It is our contention that Student Congress should be concerned
with major issues which involve
a majority of students. Although
acting on legislative programs is
the prime purpose of the body, it
should not be the sole purpose.
We hope a policy of
in all political affairs
will not remain in effect.

Letter To The Editor:

Member Offers Criticism
Of New Congress Policy
To The Editor:
I should like to commend the

person who covered last week's
discussion of the proposal to voice
Student Congress approval of American military action in Vietnam.
The debate was fairly and objectively reported.
As the writer pointed out, the
question was not decided on the
principles espoused in the resolution, but rather on whether Student
Congress should take a stand on
an issue that might be called

If Student Congress be ever to

issue, and student demonstrations

It was my contention in defending the resolution that the
image of Student Congress as a
mere elected student service society
can never be changed unless that
body opens itself to discussion of
the chief problems and issues facing

Graduate Students Especially Vulnerable

Draft Tightens Student Deferments
The Collegiate Press Service
Students, csiiccially graduate
students, arc finding themselves
in the Selective Service hotseat
as local draft boards begin to
tighten their requirements for student deferments.
The extent towluch students
will be called in the next few
months cannot be accurately
determined ;rnce local draft
boards set their own standards in
this regard. What iscertain, however, is that some students will
be called. In fact, some have
already been ordered to appear
for physicals the first step in
the induction process.
Behind it all is the rising
monthly draft quotas because of
the build up of forces in Vietnam
and the expansion of active-dut- y
forces to three million an increase of some 300,000. The build
up in Vietnam and the expansion
of the number of men on active
duty were ordered by the President this summer. Since then
draft calls have risen each month
to levels that are the highest
since the end of the Korean War.
The December call will be 45,224.
Although the policy of national headquarters is to encourage
the deferment of students, some
local boards have found themselves unable to meet their quotas
without a severe tightening of
the requirements for student
deferment.
The request by the national
Selective Service officials that
students be deferred covers graduate students as well as undergraduates. The law officially
states that a local board may
defer a student whose study "is
found to be necessary to the
maintenance of the national
health, safety, and interest."
However, at least five students
working toward doctorates at
Columbia University have been
notified of deferment reviews.
One of the students, David Whit-compresident of the Student
Council, has been told to report
for a
physical.
At Columbia it appears that
only doctoral candidates arc
being notified of pending draft
calls. Although good grades have
been accepted in the past as
evidence that a student is progressing satisfactorily, the law
prohibits selection among students to be based on scholastic
averages.
Of the students at Columbia
having trouble with their deferments, at least two are from the
Bronx. One, a graduate student
in political science, is taking 15
credits, or three more than the
minimum suggested by the
Selective Service office as
meeting requirements for a deferment.
The student said his draft
board had asked him to explain
the relevance of his "studies and
future plans" to the national
interest, health, and safety.
After the student had told the
board he had worked for Hep.
Jonathan B. Bingham, a Bronx
Democrat, and intended to "go
into government work," he was
or draftable.
classified

before a
be reclassified
student of engineering or the
natural sciences, the clerk said.
Besides those at Columbia,
several other colleges reported
e
students had rethat
ceived notice that their application for deferment had been
denied.
At Harvard, at least four law
students from Tulsa, Okla., and
Baltimore were reported to have
been denied student classification wliich wotdd allow him
to finish the year.
The law permits a student
e
satisfactorily pursuing a
course of study to be deferred
until the end of the academic
year, should he be called for
induction. However, only one
such deferment is permitted.
Bussell S. Beeeher, a Harvard
instructor who often counsels
students on military matters, said
that the reclassification of students appeared to be "scattered
incidents," but there was some
fear that "it might become a

trend."

College students request deferment in late September, usually as a part of the school's registration process. During their
October meetings local draft
boards usually pass on the requests and thus the news oftheir
actions is just becoming known.
A man has 10 days after he
receives notice of Ids application
to submit an appeal, and most
universities are advising their
students to appeal. An appeal
board then hears the student's
case and decides on a classification. If there is a split vote
when the appeal board votes, a
registrant still may appeal to the
President. If there is no split,
there is no further appeal.
Wesley First, director of university relations at Columbia,
commented, "This thing sends
cold shivers down my back.
Education is big with us. If
they're going to start drafting
graduate students this is meaningful. I just don't understand
it at all."

New York University and
Fordham University report that
one student at each school has
reported the denial of his application for deferment.

Meanwhile, students protesting U.S. policy in Vietnam have
been warned by some draft boards
that this could result in the loss
oftheir deferments.

The director of the Michigan
Selective Service system intends
to report the names of 31 students
who sat in' at the Ann Arbor
office to their local boards. He
warned that this could very well
result in the loss of their deferments.
While emphasizing that final
action is up to the local boards,
Director
Arthur
Michigan
Holmes said, "Some of the local
boards will no doubt be changing
the status of those students
involved in protests of this sort."
Pennsylvania Selective Director Henry M. Cross issued a
similar warning to s
