Housing discrimination
breeder of chaos, frustration and
confusion in today's civil rights
movement will be eliminated
when officials start worrying
about moral and spiritual, rather
than political, expediences.
So said the Rev. A. D. Williams King, head of Kentucky's
branch of the Southern Christ-aiLeadership Conference and a
Louisville clergyman, in a talk
on campus today.
"Open housing is inevitable,
but unfortunately it is in the
hands of politicians who have
to play ball," he told the UK
law forum.
Negores cannot be made to
live like animals in ghettos and
be expected to act like the white
man would want, King added.
Changes helpful to the Negro's
plight have occured in the last
decade, he said, but because of
dangers to the economy of the
nation and other political

right.

King said he would advocate
black power if the term means
"all men becoming part of a total
society." "But I strongly oppose
of black power as it has been
advocated by Stokely Carmichael
of SNCC and Floyd McKissick
CORE," he said.

HUMPHREY AND CILLICAN IN CINCINNATI

Humphrey Praises
'Education' Congress
Special To The Kernel

CINCINNATI Highest on Hubert Humphrey's list of achievement of the 89th Congress is its education legislation.
In the past two years, the vice president likes to say, more
progress toward building a better and stronger country was made
than ever before.
"The 89th Congress made into law," he emphasises, "the hopes
and dreams of half a century. They call it the Education Congress,
and rightly so. It did more for our sons and daughters, all the way
ol
from the
youngsters in Head Start up to graduate students at our universities than all the previous Congresses in our
pre-scho-

history put together.
"Federal expenditures for education in the past school year were
over six billion dollars triple what they were only three
years before. And a healthy slice of the new funds went to help
the children who need it most
boys and girls.
Humphry paid the Congress his compliments while stumping
for Democratic candidates here Friday. The vice president came to
Cincinnati to help out in one of the most closely watched Congressional races this fall, John J. Cilligan is trying to beat a Republican Robert A. Taft Jr.
Cincinnatians should elect Cilligan, Humphrey said, because he
was a member of the 89th Congress.
The vice president also praised the congress for its legislation
relating to cities, conservation, and health.
Discussing the economy, Humphrey claimed that in 1956-6under the Republicans, there was an 11 percent increase in the cost
of living, and a 29 percent increase in wages. Under the Demothe cost of living has gone up only 9 percent,
crats in 1961-6with 47 percent rise in wages, he said.

Colleges Also Feel Pinch Of Few Teachers
By JUDY CRISIIAM
Kernel Associate Editor
The United States faced it s most critical
teacher shortage in a decade this fall in
its elementary and high schools, but the
impact of a lack of qualified teachers is
a very real issue for institutions of higher
learning, too.
Enrollments in the nation's colleges

education, the report says, is the graduate
schools. The doctoral output of these
schools is rising and predictions are that
it will double in the next ten years.
But the teaching shortage stems from'
the fact that all who obtain advanced
degrees do not go into teaching. A substantial number are drawn into
often more independent,
careers.

The Carnegie report gives the following
percentages of new doctor's degree
recipients who entered teaching in recent
years.

ing of teacher-studeResearch, perhaps, is the most often
cited cause. With the extraordinary rise
in federal expenditures for research and the
increase of private industry's interest in
research projects, more and more academicians are lured into this Held. The world
of research is a lucrative one for the
scholar in terms of prestige, time, and
money.

This concern about research involvement stems from the fact that it is increasing at a time when enrollments already are straining facilities and teaching
staffs.
But, Dr. Lewis Cochran, UK provost
and acting dean of the graduate school
does not agree.
"I have never agreed that research

activity hurts the quality of teaching,"
he said. "It is, instead, an essential
ingredient which actually improves the
quality of instruction."

The University, he said, is not in any
"problem state" in regard to overemphasis

on research.
"We are working here on improving
research, but the entire emphasis in the
academic plan is toward improvement

Cochran

"We areattempting to identify the good
teacher as well as to improve the advising system."
Teaching and research, Cochran says,
is all part of "one big package." They
don't conflict, but are mutually supporting.

"A university is basically a community
of scholars in which some of its professors
have 'written as well as read.' "
With research, the faculty member
brings contemporary knowledge into the
classroom-- he
is involved in "making the
subject," he said.
The University, in addition, employs
no faculty member who does not teach.

The six, Judy Flynn, Wendy
Johnson, Emma Scoville, Betsy
Davis, Mary Jean Wall and Jackie
Ross, visited four Pike County
magistrates while on the campaign trail with Sen. John Sherman Cooper as "Cooper Coeds"
in Eastern Kentucky.
The four magistrates have
been jailed for contempt of court
after they refused to vote approval of the Pike County school
budget as directed by the circuit
court. The four, Darvin New-- i
some, Foster Bentley, Taylor
Justice and Burbige Prater, drew
a crowd of about 200 supporters
last Friday: Saturday, with Senator Cooper's arrival at the courthouse, the crowd swelled to
about 800.
The crowd outside the courthouse and jail gave Senator
Cooper an enthusiastic welcome,
but the campaigning coeds noticed that most of the talk and
signs referred to "our brave boys"
in jail and "the Farley machine"
(C.A. Farley is the superintendent of schools whose budget
is in question.). Miss Davis said,
"I was passing out buttons in

there I was."
"The people in Pikeville

stated Miss Ross. "This man

Cood Samaritan Hospital reported that a UK student was
still "in critical condition" this
morning as a result of an automobile accident Sunday morning in a stolen car.
Lawrence Tabeling, 18, a
South Fort Mitchell youth, suffered head injuries when a car
in which he was riding crashed
into a utility pole and then into
two parked cars.
The auto was owned by Frank
Niemeyer, a UK student, and
was driven by Michael Earl Crawford, 18, a student living in Breckinridge Hall. Also involved in the
accident were Joseph Overman,
18, and Thomas Patrick Dwyer,
19. Tabeling was the only person
injured.
Police reported that the youths
stole keys to the car from Niemeyer and then took his car. The
accident occured about midnight
Saturday.
Director of Men's Residence
Halls Ken Brandenburg said that
he thought that "the people involved weren't UK students at
all." Brandenburg said he talked
with Acting Dean of Men Jack
Hall and was told that only two
of the people were students.
"Tabeling isn't a UK student," Brandenburg said. The
three youths not injured in the
wreck were arrested by police for
auto larceny and released on

The boycott of five Lexington
stores by 22 housewives has not
caused a major rollback in food
prices, but it has served as an illumination of one of the primary
reasons for increasing food costs.
The local movement, spawned from
a nationwide move, seeks to eliminate trading stamps, games, and
prizes which may be accountable
for five percent of the cost of
food, thus lowering prices.
The boycott started here Thursday was an echo of other housewives' protests which began in
Denver. Locally, the housewives
petitioned shoppers at five Lexington chain stores offering stamps
or game prizes. Boycott workers
were encouraging shoppers to shop
at stores that do not offer stamps
or games. In addition to the elimination of stamps and games,
the housewives are seeking a price
rollback to April, 1966.
The local movement has met
with some success with Lexington
shoppers. Members of the boycott
reported a number of shoppers
declined to shop in the five stores
after they signed petitions. While
some of the leaders of trie boycott claimed business was down,
supposedly due to the boycott,
managers of the chain stores would
make no such admission. A supervisor of one of the firms said, "The
boycott just has not happened."
Such a reaction is understandable. Operators of the boycotted
stores would naturally like to shun
any adverse publicity. But such

attitude will

which we think has such an easy
resolve.
a

head-in-the-sa-

For the boycott to be success-fiboth sides have to make con-

d,

cessions. Housewives as a whole
must show a willingness to give
offerings of the
up festival-lik- e
stamps and prizes. And the chain
stores must relinquish the cheaply bought aura of the "great benefactor" by discontinuing stamps
and games.

That the stamps and games
cost the housewife is unmistakable.
One western chain store, seeking
to find the allure of stamps, offered
housewives either a 10 percent
discount for purchases or double
stamps. The majority of buyers
took the double stamps. But the
fact that the store was able to
offer a 10 percent price reduction
without stamps underscored the
price being paid for the stamps.
A local chain store manager, who
asked not to be identified, said
stamps and prizes definitely contribute to higher prices.
Were enough women able to
convince retailers that shoppers
would do without trading stamps
in favor of lower prices, and the
retailers were to eliminate phony
prizes, demands for a rollback in
prices would be more than justified. However, retailers and shoppers alike must convince each other
of their sincerity before any progress will be registered.

Letters To The Editor

haw Student Explains Constitution Stand
To the Editor of the Kernel:
I decided to resign my post
as UK cochairman of Law Students
for a Better Constitution last Sunday because I had examined the two
documents thoroughly and could no
longer in good conscience lend my
name to that effort.
On Monday, a
"spontaneous demonstration" was staged
in Secretary of State Stovall's office
where nine people claimed to speak
for 100,000 students! It was neither
spontaneous nor for 100,000 students. I noticed the
youth program leaders were the
majority of the nine. This obvious
publicity gimmick points up the
type of confusing publicity tactics
forces have
which the
focused on the student voters of
this state, presumably with the
advice and consent of the Governor.
I asked Mrs. Stovall to arrange
for me to announce my resignation
on Tuesday in the same office where
the "demonstration" was held. I
sincerely hoped my resignation-stat- ed
would
arouse
publicly
other students and voters to take
a good hard look at the revision.
Never did I urge anyone to vote
against it without first analyzing
the issues.

band and the VPI band were such
that they could not be directly
compared. The quality or precision
of the shows, however, can be
directly compared. The quality of
the VPI show was so superior as
to make the entrance of the UK
Marching Band somewhat anticli-matic.

Comment also was made to the
effect that the formations executed
by the UK band are much more
difficult to achieve than precision
drill. Having been a member of
a marching band for eight years,
and having extensively performed
both precision drills and formation
shows, I know that formations can
be thrown together in a few hours,
while precision drill can take weeks
to perfect. I believe the words of
a Kentucky high school band director sums the difference up quite
well, "We not only lost the game,
we lost the halftime show, too."

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

Washington Insight

Why Manila At All?
By JOSEPH KRAFT
WASHINGTON
The Manila
communique combines with the
accounts of the conference to generate an overwhelming question:
Why was the meeting held at
all?
Not, certainly, for the diplo-

matic purposeofclearingthepath
to a peaceful settlement. It is
true that the conference was the
occasion for announcing certain
new positions that could, in time,
evolve as elements of a general

agreement. Particularly important in this regard are the
timetable for withdrawal
of allied troops after a political
settlement, the offer of amnesty
to the insurgent Vietcongandthe
promise of civilian rule in Sai-- .

against "aggression" and for
"territorial integrity" are sound,
why advertise them? Accepting
these claims would represent a
for the
maximum
government of North Vietnam.
To advance them to the center
of a heightened stage claiming
supreme world attention is the
reverse of making their acceptance likely. It is to assure
that, diplomatically, Manila can
accomplish nothing that might
not have done better in other
climb-dow-

ways.

But

all of these individual
steps could have been taken without Manila. As it is, they are
part and parcel of a general emphasis which can only serve to
diminish their credibility and importance.
The general emphasis of Manilathe true message that the
conference delivers to the world-- is
the emphasis on "aggression"
by North Vietnam and the "territorial integrity" of South Vietnam. But these concepts, while
they may exist in the mind of
the secretary of state have only
a cloudy reality outside of that
quaint world.
The "aggression" by the
North has, in both time and
numbers, lagged behind the intervention of American power.
The "territorial integrity" of
South Vietnam is a notion alien
to the Geneva Peace Accord of
1954 which is the basic diplomatic instrument for Vietnam.
Even assumingthat theclaims

conference is even more obscure

than the diplomatic objective.
That the fighting up to now has
not yiejded decisive results would
suggest, that if the real problem
were to stop "aggression" and
maintained "territorial integrity," there would be required
