session Tuesday night.
The Bureau of Mines, Wright
related, through judicial action
purchased a portion of his farm
and auger mined it. Wastes from
an adjacent mine were later
dumped on his property.
Wright told the students, "A
new rash of strip mining in the
Eastern Kentucky mountains is
upon us, and this sudden boom
in coal has brought with it tremendous profits. These profits,
however, are being taken from
Kentucky and used in various
Eastern states."
"In the early 60's collegiates
were not aware of the people and
problems concerning strip minintering. Yet, with present-da- y
est and large amounts of research,
which will continue, the southeastern Kentucky strip mines are
on their way out," Wright said.
"I predict that within the next
legislature or two Kentucky will
outlaw strip mining completely.

I base these opinions on the fact
that the attitude q( the people is
changing greatly. Mountain people no longer accept strip mining
to be a fulfillment of the Great
American Dream, a development
rather than an exploitation.
"But as their land is stolen
from them by messy judicial action, the belief that strip mining
must go is now a common fact.
This movement towards awareness is reflected in the COP
candidates who are expressing
great concern over Kentucky's
strip mining problems," Wright
added.

"The Bureau of Mines must
be made to change its philosophy, not merely to minimize the
effect of strip mining, but to stop
it. The land must be given back
to Kentucky, and the money must
be returned to Kentuckians. In
short, strip mining affects the
people and economy much more
than the land," he said.

Student Committee Plans
Thorough Housing; Survey
By DAVID BLANTON

Kernel Staff Writer
A committee coordinated by a
task force of Action Coalition
announced plans Tuesday night
for a complete and comprehensive
housing survey.
The group is composed of representatives from the Craduate
and Professional Student Association CPSA, various student government committees, and other
interested students. It is being
headed by Bill Rauch, a Junior
sociology major.
Rauch said this kind of surbefore
vey had been attempted
by the Office of Student Affairs,
but that previous lists had never
been very thorough or complete.
He estimated that 11,000 students
currently live off campus. This
number includes students who
live at home and are from

In formulating the survey, the
group listed three steps which it
thinks will make the survey as
complete and comprehensive as
possible.
First, a "foot" (door to door)
survey of apartments and older
homes which immediately surround the campus will be made.
Secondly,

In addition to Mrs. Brown
crew members included: her husband Rod Anderson, a New York
commodities broker and
Malcolm Brighton, a British
aeronautical engineer. The voyage across the Atlantic started
Sunday afternoon from a Long
Island pasture.
Last radio contact made with
the trio was on Monday night,
when the three said they were

The craft may have run into

Mark Semich, the balloon

get rid of the envelope immediately after landing. It's not likely
that it could pull the gondola

And several times drowned out

A half-hou- r

during the speedy ride to and

the time at a reception and luncheon in a large hotel.
That did not leave much time
for leisurely politicking, but
Agnew got in many words of
gratitude and praise for Cowger
gratitude for Cowger's help
eight years ago during a Maryland race and praise for Cowger's congressional record.
He recalled that when Cowger, as a successful COP mayor
of Louisville, went to Maryland
on his behalf, "I wasn't a household word."
"I believe the people will return him (Cowger) to Congress
with the resounding margin he
merits," the vice president told
about 500 persons gathered at a
luncheon.
Surprising Supporters
A spot check of Republicans
who appeared at the reception
yielded a couple of mild surprises to political observers.
There was Sam Ezelle, head
who ordiof the state AFL-CInarily would be found in the
Democratic fold. But Cowger
said he expected Ezelle, who reportedly likes the congressman's
labor record and is displeased
with what he regards as
equivocal stand.
There was Tom Emberton, a
former top aide to Cov. Louie
B. Nunn, who is regarded as
the governor's favorite contender
for the Bepublican gubernatorial
nomination in 1971.
Nunn and Cowger are on the
political outs, with Cowger
blaming the governor for prev ious
COP statewide defeats and Nunn
suggesting that the congressman
needs psychiatric treatment.
There was no indication
whether Emberton was representing Nunn in any capacity.
The governor, by coincidence,
was attending a Southern Governors conference at Biloxi.Miss.,
and hence did not face the problem of whether to show up as
a courtesy to Agnew despite his
political hostility to Cowger.
Former Parks Commissioner
Robert Cable was on hand and
so was U.S. Sen. Marlow Cook,
a longtime Cowger ally, who flew
back immediately to Washington
for a vote on a pollution bill
later in the day. Fried chicken
king Harland Sanders also attended the luncheon.
The security was tighter and
the crowds fewer for Agnew than
when President Nixon visited
Louisville in July.
However, Cowger's staff pronounced itself pleased with his
visit.

Better Communication
Around the country colleges
and universities are implementing programs designed to provide better communications.

Although

administrations

have sought to prepare to deal
with violence and widespread
campus disorders with firm policies and action plans, equal
emphasis has been given to the
development of means of averting wholesale campus disorders.
UK recently announced an
Emergency Plan which is intended to minimize the possibility of outside forces entering the
campus during a period of emergency.
Other universities are setting
up information and rumor control centers. Ohio University also
plans to use its center to disseminate all official information
in a time of crisis. Other schools
which have started such programs are the University of Kansas and University of California
at Santa Barbara.
At UK, an
student
collective called the Zoo has begun its own rumor center to
serve UK students.
UK also has an ombudsman
whose duty it is to receive student grievances concerning academic affairs. The director of
University relations, moreover,

works in the field of community
communications. Working in the
same area is the UK Human
Relations Center.
Other
initiated
programs
across the nation's campuses are.

Col. Davidson explained that
Kentucky will "probably not exceed" the 170 mark in the draft

According to Davidson, if you
lose your deferment or let it expire, your number remains the
same and the order of call is
not changed.
If, however, you are classified

MCHR Plans Health Care Study
By SUSAN COVVDREY

Kernel Staff Writer
The Medical Committee for
Human Rights (MCHR) has been
brought to the UK campus.
The program was begun in
New York in 19G4 at the request
of civil rights workers. It has
since aided such causes as the
Selma March, the James Meredith
march, and the Poor People's
Campaign.
In the past, MCHR has
picketed American Medical Association conventions, urging
broader resolutions on health care
for the poor.
Dr. Ollie Fein, New York
movement director, organized the
chapter here. The chapter was
started in July to help in the
"health ri glits struggle." It is one
'of few southern chapters, the
largest being in cities such as
Atlanta and New Orleans.

Kentucky, it was pointed out,

Davidson told the youths that
establishment of an advisory

is being considered. He expressed
willingness to take advice as well
as give it in this regard.
The group would comprise religious and other moral leaders,

* SC's Dysfunctional Silence
So tills is the year of activism on the UK campus. Liberal students
arc to point out what is wrong and what needs to be done about it
while conservative students defend their principles and assume a cautious role. In the free exchange of ideas and the rational debate which
follows, the academic community members will arrive at some reason-

able positions and base their actions on their evaluations of the facts

offered.

Such is far from the case this fall. The Student Code Forum pointed
out the unreality of such an assertion. Those students present offered
only one viewpoint, a strong opposition to the Code. There was ample
opportunity for students of any persuasion to comment on the issue.
The failure of conservative students to express their opinions and the
d
informational input which is of
basis for them constitutes a
no benefit to one who has not formulated an opinion.
The students opposing the Code are doing their part, even if their
opposition is almost trite by now. These students appeared at the forum
in large numbers with much background information and many intelligent arguments. They were 'answered by Trustee Bell, Dean Hall
and Vice President Zumwinkle in the same condescending
tone which has become characteristic of the administration.
This much was to be expected. The most surprising part of the evening was the absolute failure of students who support the Code to present
their ideas. Many of these students were in attendance, judging from
the applause accorded panelists when they derided liberal segments of
the student body. It is incredible that these people contributed nothing
more to the discussion.
Supposedly there is a strong, viable,
group of students
who support the Code. These students claim the support of the massive

If this is true, why don't these people present their views in the public
arena. It is a disservice to the University community when these views,
however indefensible or poorly presented, are not voiced.
Evidently the Student Coalition is content not only to let the administration rule them, but to allow it to speak, act and think for them
as well.

Student Government Defended
O. LABRECHE
. By STEPHEN
EDITOR'S NOTE: Steve LaBreche is
a sophomore Economics major.
Student Coalition has presented students with a false picture of the Student Government concerning its composition, support, and ability to function
as the legitimate student liaison with the
University faculty and administration.
Through exceedingly provincial argumentation and indeterminate phraseology,
Student Coalition distorts the reality of
the situation until recognition of the truth
is difficult. As these attacks upon Student
Government continue, it becomes increasingly important for clarification to be
made.

First, the nature of the Student Coalition literature is in many ways analogous
to that of the revised "Code of Student
Conduct." The broadness of contentions
and vagueness of intentions present in
both writings can lead to confusion of
the students and arbitrary action by the
administration. The fact that Student
Coalition endorses the revised code is
indicative of the Coalition's lack of realistic evaluation of the proper position of
the individual as a student and citizen.
A fairly well done critique of the code
is available from the University of Kentucky College of Law Chapter of the
Southern Legal Action Movement, in
which the many deficiencies contained in
the code are discussed. This critique
points out clearly unconstitutional aspects
of the code with Judiciary precedents, including those aspects which are endorsed
by the Student Coalition.
Second, Student Covcrnment at the
University of Kentucky is not composed
of, or controlled by, a radical minority
which is neither representative of, nor
concerned with, student opinion. Both
the executive and legislative branches of
SG contain a broad cross sect ion of ideological and political persuasion. Interest
in the attainment ot
response
to student needs and issues is the criteria
for participation,
not incessant icono-clasA genuine look at the individuals who
are a part of SG results in the discovery'
of the diversity of conviction of the representatives and of those who have been

appointed to various levels of the executive branch.
Third, the present Student Government
President and those assembly members
electee! in last year's spring election were
selected in the largest turnout in UK
history.
Finally, the contention that the administration cannot be expected to negotiate
reform with the present Student Government is refuted by the administration's
readiness to work with the present SC. An
example of this occurred on the 29th and
30th of August, when various administrators and faculty members met with
the SG so to increase the students' understandi
