Screaming Pickets Mark 2nd Day
Of National Draft ResistanceWeek

By United Pres International

Violence erupted Monday in
coast - to - coast demonstrations
against the draft and the Viet-
nam war.

On the second day of a
planned week of protests, club-
swinging police routed more
than 3,000 rebellious, screaming
pickets from around the North-
ern California induction center
at Oakland.

Twenty-two persons were
treated for injuries at hospitals
and police arrested 14 persons.

Nineteen demonstrators were
arrested and hauled away at
Los Angeles when they staged
a sit-down in front of an in-
duction center, barring the path
for inductees who were trying
to enter the building.

Some 250 to 300 demon-
strators picketed an induction
center in Seattle, Wash. Four
of the group tried to distribute
pamphlets inside the center and
were escorted out of the build-
ing.

The demonstrations were part
of a nationwide round in which
protesters were throwing away
or burning their draft cards to

dramatize their resistance to
the draft and the war in South-
east Asia.

More than 140 were arrested
Monday in the first day of the
demonstrations when they block-
aded induction centers, staged
sit-ins or fought with police and
US. marshals.

The protest, sparked largely
by a group that» calls itself “The
Resistance" and the National
Mobilization Committee to End
the War in Vietnam, was to be
climaxed Saturday by a mass
demonstration in Washington.

The national guard will
furnish 2,500 military police—
men to help District of Colum-
bia police patrol the capital's
streets. Organizers predict that
from 40,000 to 100.000 pro-
testers will rally at the Lincoln
Memorial and march on the
Pentagon.

Bullhom Warning

The melee at Oakland
erupted, a police official said,
after police gave the demon-
strators 45 minutes' warning on
bullhoms to clear the streets and
thev balked at leaving.

Maryland Loyalty Oath

By WALTER GRANT

WASHINGTON (CPS)—Do loyalty oaths, which are signed by
thousands of public employes each year, represent unconstitutional
infringements on the individual freedoms guaranteed by the Con-

stitution?

And do these oaths, when
required of public school teach-
ers and faculty members in
state-supported colleges, violate
the principles of academic free-
dorn?

The US. Supreme Court
heard arguments both ways this
week in a controversial case
testing the validity of Mary-

land’s 18-year-old Ober Act,
which includes loyalty oath
provisions.

The Supreme Court has struck
down five loyalty oaths since
the early 1950’s, but in each
case in decision was made on
technical grounds. However, the
Maryland case may provide an
opportunity for the nine justices
to rule on loyalty oaths in gen-

eral. Oaths are required in
about half the states.

The case now before the
Supreme Court was initiated by
Howard J. Whitehall In, a pro—

fessor who was denied a teach-
ing position at the University
of Maryland last year because
he refused to sign the required
oath.

Objects On Several Grounds

The oath requires employes
to certify they are “not engaged
in one way or another in the
attempt to overthrow the gov-
ernment of the United States, or
the state of Maryland, or any
political subdivision of either of
them, by force or violence." The
employe also certifies that he
understands the loyalty state-
ment is subject to the penalties
of perjury described in Mary-
land law.

Sol Rosen, an attorney for
the American Civil Liberties
Union who argued Prof. White-
hall's case before the court, ob-
jected to the Maryland law on
several grounds.

First, Mn. Rosen argued, the

' Referendum Shows 69.1%

Like Student Ombudsman

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN

Nearly 1,1!)0 students went to
the polls Tuesday to overwhelm-
ingly support a student ombuds—
rmn to receive and investigate
their complaints and to present
them to the University adminis-
tration.

The vote apparently ended a
heated controversy within Stu-
dent Government.

At the year's first SC meet-
ing, President Steve Cook ap-
pointed Ellis Bullock and Robert

and firing eye-stinging gas from
cannisters moved forward in
flying wedges, driving the
demonstrators away. At least
two dozen of the protesters fell
to the pavement. Some had
bloodied heads and complained
of “police brutality." One police—
man suffered an ankle injury.
US. Atty. Cecil Poole said

”the law is not going to lie down

and not do its job because 3,000
or 4,000 persons are opposed to
the war.”

One of the Oakland demon-
strators carried a sign reading:
“Let The Individual Choose In
Which War He Gives His Life."
The pickets screamed at a
group of 100 inductees, “Don't
go, don't go,” and shouted in
unison, “Hell no, we won't go."

Valentine to an executive com-
mittee serving as ombudsman,
but the assembly three times
refused to approve his action.

09.1 Percait Approve

Of the $4 students voting in
the SG-sponsored referendum,
681-or 69.1 percent—favored a
student in the position.

A Kernel poll last week
showed that 71.8 percent of the
student body favored a student
ombudsman while only 17.2 per-
cent supported an administrator-
ombudsman.

Tuesday’s voting showed only
191 students favoring the stafi
ombudsman while 94 were
against the position entirely.
Eighteen ballots were either dis-
qualified or had no opinion.

Mike Davidson, Oliver Kash
Curry and Allen Youngrnan had
headed the opposition, urging
that the onbudsman should be
an administrator.

Will Change Vote

Curry said after the votes were
counted Tuesday, “Well, I guess
we'll have a student ombuds-
mn," indicating he would
change his vote when the issue
again is introduced in the as-
sembly.

Cook said another vote in
the assembly probablY.WOuld not
be taken at Thursday's regular
meeting. “But it really doesn't
matter because Bullock and Val-
entine still are functioning in the
position," he added.

SC Vice President Rafael Val-
lebona, a strong advocate of the
student ombudsman, said the
final vote “probably will be just
a formality. "

“The turnout was about as
good as I expected," Cook said.
"You just don’t get very many
students voting in these refer-
endums." About seven percent
of the student body voted.

Cook said the ,ombudsman
would be an appointed position
”at least for this year." The Ker-
nel poll showed an overwhelming
52.9 percent favored a Student
Covemment appointee as om»
budsman, and 27.9 percent
wanted it as an elected omce.

The student ombudsman drew
strongest support in Blazer Hall,
where 86.3 percent of the 110
voters favored it. In the Studait
Center, where the vote was heav-
iest, 282 of395 supported it, and
the strongest opposition came in
the Complex, where 61.3 percent
voiced approval.

Kentuckian Vote Mediocre

Students also were asked, “Do
you like the 1%7 Kentuckian as
well as previous Kentuckians?"

Less than half of the voters
(474) said ”No" while 330 did
not vote, 138 of those writing
V-O-I-D across the face of the
question. 180 students voted
”Yes" on the yearbook.

The Kentuckian question was
added to the referendum after
Davidson submitted a bill chal-
lenging the “policy" of last year's
book.

Trustees Ask Maine Chance Land ,
For Agricultural Research Uses

By 10 WARREN

The Board of Trustees Tues-
day took further action on the
Maine Chance Farm issue at its
regular monthly meeting.

With unanimous approval on
a recommendation by President
John W. Oswald, the board di-
rected the President to formally
request the UK Research F oun-
dation to make the 720 acres
on Maine Chance and about
550 acres of Spindletop Farm
available to the University for
agricultural research purposes.

In response to a question con-
ceming the farm mortgage,
Robert Kerley, vice president
for Business Affairs, said the
form of the agreement is typical
of most such documents and
contains nothing unusual.

Mr. Kerley said under the
terms of the mortgage agree-
ment. an auxiliarv agreement
providing partial release of parts
of the land can be made so that
partial title can go to the foun-
dation. The board can then, in
turn. approve improvements on
the land.

$1,500,000 Loan Involved

The mortgage agreement, ac-
cording to Mr. Kerley, amounts
to a loan of approximately $1,-
500,000 at a six percent interest
rate for a 10-year period.

Mr. Kerley said the debt may
be repaid within five years, but
the agreement was made for 10
vears due to fluctuation of the
foundation's income.

Mr. Kerley also said the At-
tomev General's Office had re-
ceived copies of the mortgage
and other documents relating to
Maine Chance. He said the
mortgage agreement was in the
Frankfort on the day the trans-
action was closed.

He added that the Universitv

has no plans for action on the

suit that Attorney General Rob-
ert Matthews said he would file
to stop action on Maine Chance.
“We will iust have to wait and
see what happens,” he said.

 

The recommendation also
gave President Oswald approval
to designate the acreage for the
College of Agriculture for re-
search purposes and directed
the President to request the dean
of the college to develop a de-
tailed allocation of acreage sub-
ject to the President's approval.

In other action, the Board
approved a recommendation to
establish a Department of
Speech in the School of Com-

High . Court Studying Loyalty Oath

Continued From Page 1

oath and the Maryland Sub—
versive Activities Act of 1949,
on which it is based, are un-
constitutionally “broad, vague
and uncertain.”

Further, he held that “all
loyalty oaths, including Mary-
land's, that are indiscriminately
required of all public employes
and applicants for employment
are unconstitutional infringe-
ments of the First and Four-
teenth Amendments' freedoms
of expression, belief and associa—
tion." When required of aca—
demic personnel, such oaths
also violate academic freedom,
he said.

Mr. Rosen told the justices
that an applicant who declines
to Sign the oath is afforded no
opportunity for a hearing, even
for the purpose of explaining
his reasons for not signing it.
Thus, he said, the requirement
violates due process of law for
lack of procedural safeguards
and for shifting the burden of
proof of loyalty onto the ap-
plicant.

Mr. Rosen also objected that
the oath is in the form of a
negative disclaimer and thus
“by its very nature violates the
First Amendment.”

He noted that Prof. \Vhite-
hall is a Quaker, and since

Quaker belief prohibits oath-
taking, “he had conscientious
scrupples against making this
kind of declaration." However,
Mr. Rosen said he is not press-
ing the religious aspect because
he thinks the oath is clearly un-
constitutional on other grounds.

On the other side, Maryland
Attorney General Francis B.
Burch and Assistant Loring E.
Hawes said in a brief presented
to the court that actually no oath
or affirmation is required of state
employes. “The Maryland certi-
fication is not strictly a loyalty
oath, does not call for an oath
of allegiance, and merely re-
quires certification that the ap-
plicant is not engaged in an at-
tempt to overthrow the govem-
ment,” they said.

Mr. Hawes told the justices
he fails to see how the words
in the certification “give any
one any trouble." In response
to charges that the oath is
vague, he said it is obvious the
words “in one way or another”
mean "in any way."

Called Clear, Concise

In their brief, Mr. Hawes and
Mr. Burch said, “if loyalty oaths
have any vitality whatsoever, it
is difficult to conceive of one
having more clear, concise and
unambiguous language."

Several of the justices indi-

cated by their questions and
comments that they agree the
oath is not too vague. If this is
the way the majority of the
justices feel, their decision will
probably deal with the question
of loyalty oaths in general,
rather than just the Wording of
the Maryland oath.

Mr. Hawes also argued that
the Ober Act had been upheld
by the Supreme Court in 1951.
In that year, the court upheld
a requirement that political
candidates seeking state office
must make the loyalty pledge.
A three-judge US. District
Court in Baltimore said the
1951 decision also applied in
the Whitehall case.

It will probably be several
weeks, perhaps a couple of
months, before the Supreme
Court hands down its decision.

Advising Must Improve

A week ago University Senate
spent over an hour hearing reports
and criticism of the current faculty
advising system —— or perhaps it
would be better to say lack of an
advising system.

The thrust of the program came
through a Senate committee as-
signed to report on the effective-
ness of advising at UK. Without
exception, every man on the com-
mittee had some harsh words to
say about the quality of faculty ad—
vising here. \

A major criticism was directed
by former Education College Dean
Lyman Ginger about the separa—
tion of a student from his academic
records. When a freshman enters
the University he is first advised in
the College of Arts and Sciences
where his records are kept for the
first two years. However, if he also
declares a major in another college
he is sent to a faculty member in
that college for advice about his
program. The result is that the
advisor in the student’s prospective
major does not have complete
records on the student. Should the
student have changed his major the
problem is further complicated by
the fact that the records do not
travel with the student but remain
in Arts and Sciences.

Stanley Wall, associate dean of
the Community College system
and formerly one of the most pop-

Letters To The Editor

Cut The

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

Since the article appeared in The Ker-
nel last week concerning me, I have had
the experience of hearing a lot of words
of congratulation and figurative back-
slapping. This is all very well and good.
It serves at least two functions. To some
extent it helped me egotistically in the
beginning and 'it helps sooth or prod the
consciences of others less inclined to go
out on a limb for principle's sake. The
way this all sounds to me now is that it
isjust so much lip service, and nothing
more. What I have done, or am prepared
to do is a retty radical thing. I mean
it does not h n every day. I am not
in any way trying to pat myself on the
back; I am merely stating facts like they
exist. I hear words that sounded good
to me when I was more or less romanti-
cally inclined the first few days. _I hear,
“I like what you are doing, I think it
is right and that every man should stand
on his own principles and do what his
conscience dictates, but I can’t do as you
are doing, even as much I would like
to. You see, I have already made com-
mitments. I owe money for school. My
parents are depending on me. And then
I have to think of the social outrage.
You know, I must think of my own
future. And it's almost assured that you
will have none. Yes, I agree with what
you are doing, but it's just not for me."
“Yes, I see very well what you mean.
Everyone has his own bag," I say.

People are scared. They are scared

ular advisors among students in
the College of Agriculture, was
particularly critical, of the lack of
use advisors make of ACT entrance
test scores. When the student takes
the ACT he gives a great deal of
information about himself, his in-
terests, his personality traits, his
academic and his personal back-
ground. Dean Wall asserts this in-
formation is all too often ignored

by faculty members who give stu-

dents advice.

There was more criticism—rang-
ing from the failure of many ad—
visors to inform themselves about
curriculum changes, to an unwill-
ingness to spend more than the
minimum amount of time in ad—
vising students. No doubt had the
investigating committee included
a student member or two, the
analysis of the advising situation
could have been even more reveal-
ing and meaningful to the Senate.

History Chairman Carl Cone
capped the meeting with a proper-
note of skepticism when he asked
if there were going to be anything
more to the Senate’s concern than
‘an hour and a half of talking—an
activity for which the Senate has
great capacity. If advising at this
University is to mean anything, if
the personal advisory relationship
between professor and student is
to mean anything in the future,
the Senate must act soon and in-
cisively.

it used to be. Today students and fac-
ulty alike, are immersed in much discus—
sion of the state of things. We all know
both sides of argument on Vietnam. How
many years has it been since this little
country has not dominated the news?
We all know both sides of the rhetoric
concerning the Black-White Problem. This
problem, too, has been with us a longtime;
too long, as Detroit proves. We are all
knowledgeable of the fact that things
are not like they should be. (I had the
urge to say like it used to be.) But that
is wrong; the problems we are experi-
encing now have been with us for many
years. Their ugly heads are only pro-
truding now.

And we all know that the activities
of the fraternity-sorority set and the hip-
pie-underground fringe both are missing
the boat as far as helping to change the
critical situation that now exists in the
world. Both of these groups are socio-
political drop-outs. Both have their own
bag. The psychology that prevades this
campus, like most of this country, is
based on the premise that if you don't
look at ugliness it will just go away.
But it does not go away. It only be-
comes uglier and harder to handle by
the day.

This kind of outlook is held by the
bulk of the nation today. It is held by
so-called liberals in both intellectual and
governmental circles. They believe that
change can only be implemented when
associated with middle-class mores. They
fail to see where white liberalism has
gotten us today. Anything radical even
though they pay lip service to it, is cast

aside, and all that ever happens is more
mouths—full of sugar-coated words.

Thus, back to the beginning. I want
it to be made known that the words of
congratulation are becoming more depress-
ing every mouth-full. I would rather not
discuss my situation with anyone unless
that person has become motivated to
action and is through with sugar-coated
exhortations, and needs advice or moral
support in doing a similar thing. The‘
purpose of the interview in the first
place was to show individuals that they
do have an alternative when confronted
with the man, as personified in the draft.

Drop K yian Book 1

No wonder Dick Kimmins is unneces-
sarily ecstatic about the 1967 Kentucki-
an! The Kentucky Kernel received a four
page spread, while other organizations
were lucky to be acknowledged. Accord-
ing to Kimmins, "Book One will be
remembered in campus history," but not
for what its authors intended. First, it
does not reflect many aspects of student
life, but only those of a select few. Six-
teen pages were devoted to sorority rush.
Whatever happened to the fraternities?
The graduate research spread seems to
indicate that students majoronly in chem-
istry. There are other departments at this
university. Then there is the selection
of miscellaneous "Commitments" to peo-
ple, some of whom are relatively unknown.
The athletics can be found intermittently
throughout this volume, but without the
necessary comments no one will fully
”appreciate" them.

Second, Book One could easily be
disposed of next year when the Kentuckian
staff attempts to economize. If senior pic-
tures will not be printed, then the ex-
traneous black and one-picture pages can
be deleted. I am sure that students would
be willing to pay more for the yearbook
if its staff would promise not to produce
another one like this year's.

Book Two may be a "plummet to
traditionalism," but what is a yearbook
without “rote photography of people—
people in groups, people alone, people
in the Greek system"? This volume will

.mean much more to independents,Creeks.-

and Rich Robbins, who is the only stir
(lent to be featured in eleven consecu—
tive pages of the Kentuckian. Accord—

ing to Kimmins, ”You'll never forget
the 1967 Kentuckian." and you will hope
that a similar one—will not be produced

next year.

Page Not Forgotten

Today the sky is clear, the sun‘is
shining, and life is relatively sweet for
those who live and pursue happiness. It
makes one wonder why life has to end,
and why death trust oh so rudely take
those whom we love, forever blotting them
from our sight. Creg Page was with us
such a short time, but during that time he
[loved that he was a man, one who
even during the time of his injury, had
the determination to live. This in itself,
will always be a monument to his cour-
age.
His life was one of sweet anticipation,
one of seeing his life-long aspirations ma—
teralize. We remember Greg as one who
was not anti-social because of his attain-
ments in sports. He never avoided those
who were less fortunate. He was a person
whose very presence enhanced the aura
that comes from social intercourse.

And last of all we remember Greg as
being sincere in whatever he attempted,
whatever it was playing football or trying
to make the grades. He is now dead,
no longer in the land of the living, no
longer to listen and share his problems
with us. Many are deeply saddened and
grieved by his death, but God knows that
his memory is still with us. We will
never forget you Greg.

‘Thanks ’-Donovan Scholars

On behalf of the older people who are

Playing Political Tug-O-War

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN

Assistant Managing Editor

Ward and Nunn factions on
campus are playing tug-o—war
with the current gubernatorial
campaign, and one of the two
seems to be cutting the other's
end of the rope.

Young Republicans are spon-
soring a debate Thursday night
between the two factions, but
