Greyhound Plans
Weekend Services

To, From Campus

Southern Greyhound Lines
will operate weekend express bus
service directly from the campus
to Louisville and Cincinnati.

The service is scheduled to
begin Sept. 15 with a bus de-
parting the campus for Cincin-
nati at 4 p.m. and for Louis-
ville at 4:15 p.m.

It has not yet been deter-
mined what- point on the cam-
pus the buses will use as a
terminal. Return buses will leave
Louisville at 7 p.m. Sundays
and Cincinnati at 8:30 p.m.

Greyhound says that the pro-
cedure for using the bus is to
buy a ticket at the downtown
Greyhound terminal at sometime
during the week. Those who pur-
chase tickets will also be asked
to fill out a form so the bus
company can keep a record of
the demand.

The non-stop buses will not
be open to the general public
but will be available to students
and staff members who show an
ID card when they purchase a
ticket.

The arrangement for the ser—
vice was worked out by the bus
company with Vice President for
Student Affairs Robert Johnson.

A Greyhound spokesman said
the company would investigate
the possibility that the buses
might make brief stops in points
along the route to allow students
not going the full distance to use
the bus. The company also said
it would discontinue the service
if it were not used.

can candidate for lieutenantgov-
ernor.

The report strongly defended
Joseph Mulloy, an Appalachian
Volunteer, who was arrested with
Mr. and Mrs. McSurely after
raids on their homes turned up
what local officials called sedi-
tious material.

The report did not defend the
McSurelys.

Meanwhile, a panel of three
federal judges said Friday it
would be at least 25 days before
a ruling is made on the con-
stitutionality of the state sedi-
tion law under which the three
are charged.

Wants Indictments

Mr. Ratliff has already indi-
cated he will seek indictments
against the three when the Pike
County Grand Jury meets this
week. But he promised Friday
that he would take no action
until the federal ruling is issued.
A special grand jury could be
convened at a later date, he said.

The threE'Who Were charged
after the Aug. 12 raid asked the
federal court to rule that the
state sedition law violates the
constitution. .

The panel of judges Friday
gave lawyers 25 days to submit
briefs and added that a ruling
would be issued as soon as pos,
sible after that.

”We do not want to set a
day certain" for the ruling, Court
of Appeals Judge Bert T. Combs
said, “but we will not delay
it."

Mr. and Mrs. McSurely are
workers for the Southern Con—
ference Educational Fund.

They were charged with Mul-
loy after Mr. Ratliff said raids
on their homes turned up books
and other material that advocated
the violent overthrow of the Uni-
ted States government.

Revenge Charged

The defendants said the
charges against them amounted
to revenge for their efforts to
stop strip mining operations in
Eastern Kentucky.

Barry Goldwater, left, the Republican nominee for President in

1964, drew a thunderous response as he addressed the Young

Americans for Freedom convention in Pittsburgh. YAFers, how—
ever, seem to favor Rmald Reagan this year.

 

Reagan Favorite

At YAF Meeting

By WILLIAM GRANT
Special To The Kernel
PITTSBURGH—A poster and button salesman sold out of his
life-size portraits of Ronald Reagan in the first day of the Young
Americans for Freedom convention here but the California gover-
nor seemed to have won more than a spot on the delegates' dor-

mitory walls.

The YAF convention marked
the first outing of a committee
called Students for Reagan which
hopes to enlist 40,000 US. col-
lege students in a effort to draft
the governor for the Republican
nomination for President.

Before the four-day conven-
tion was over, it was obvious
that Mr. Reagan had substantial
backing from the 1,000 YAFers
gathered here.

YAF itself will not endorse
a candidate because it would be
a violation of the Corrupt Prac-
tices Act which forbids such po-
litical activity for corporations.

But the convention delegates
did propose a resolution com-
mending Mr. Reagan to the 1968
GOP convention. Much the same
sort of resolution was passed by
YAF in support of Barry Cold.
water in 1963.

Similar To 1964

In fact, the grassroots drive
for Reagan bears many resem—
blances to the earlier effort to
nominate Goldwater. Not the
least of the similiarities is the
number of Goldwater backers

now pushing Reagan.

Demonstrations Resume In Milwaukee

United Press International

 

MILWAUKEE—Civil rights militants fanned
out in two columns Monday night on the eighth
day of open housing demonstrations here, in what
one of their leaders called a ”declaration of war"
against Mayor Henry Maier.

Both columns headed toward downtown, fol-
lowing parallel routes. Civil rights figure Dick
Gregory led one group of about 6“) marchers.
Father James E. Groppi, white Roman Catholic
priest who advises the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People Milwaukee
Youth Council, led the other, numbering about
1,500.

Before the two columns left a Calvary Baptist
Church rally, Father Groppi urged students among

the marchers to ignore the Opening of public
schools here Tuesday and “remain in the Free-
dom March."

‘This Is War'

At the Calvary Baptist rally, the church's
pastor, the Rev. Walter Hoard, Wisconsin NAACP
chairman, said, “This is war. We will not sign

a peace pact until the Negro is as free in Mil-
waukee as Polish people are in the city."

Another speaker, Ald. Vel Phillips, former
Democratic national comrnitteewoman for Wis-
consin and the first Negro on the Democratic
National Committee, complained about alleged
police abuse.

“We are tired of them messing around with
our women," she said. .

Mrs. Phillips said police used foul language
and shoved girls of the NAACP Youth Council.

Before the Calvary Baptist rally, which drew
a ca acity crowd of 1,500 and lefi 600 persons
stan ing outside, the open housing demonstrators
carried their protest to the doorstep of a judge
who described Father Groppi as ”this evil man."

However, the priest was not present when
the marchers reached the home of County Judge
Christ T. Seraphim during a meandering, nine-
mile, four—hour afternoon hike.

Judge Seraphim stood on his porch—flanked
by his Irish Setter ..and told newsmen he

would not talk to the civil rights advocates.
”I do not talk to the devil and I will not
talk to. this illegitimate group," the judge said.

YAF's 301]!) members were
instrumental in Mr. Goldwater’s
bid for the nominationbecause,
as YAF chainnan J. Alan Mac-
Kay explained, ”everywhere he
went in the months before the
election we turned out peOple
to cheer and wave banners. What
we did," Mac Kay continued,
”was add to the image of Gold-
water's being attractive to the
young people."

Charles L. Williams, a North
Carolina State University stu-
dent who heads Students for Rea-
gan, came to this convention be-
lieving that YAF members could
play the same influential role in
behalf of the governor.

Mini-skirted coeds presided
over a Reagan hospitality suite
where the governor was depicted
in a larger-thandife picture as a
cowboy, complete with six-

New Hours,
Hostesses
In Dorms

Changes have come to the
regulations and ‘operating proce-
dures of women's residence halls.

In addition to changes in
hours and signout, which were
agreed upon last year, each resi-
dence hall now hasa paid hostess
at the desk when the regular
receptionist is off duty.

Previously, residents were
asked to do desk dmy a certain
number of hours each semester,
without pay.

Women applied for the job in
each hall and received work
schedules fitted around their class
schedules. Under the past sys-
tem, the “desk help was not very
efficient,” said Rosemary Pond,
associate dean of students. Miss
Pond thinks that students who
applied for and are paid for the
jobs ”want to work, and are con-
sequently iiiore efficient."

Hours Now Midnight

The new hours system extends
week night hours until midnight
to all but freshmen. Freshmen
must still be in by 10:30 p.m.
during the week. Individual resi-
dence halls and sororities usually
modify this rule for special oc-
casions, such as a late concert.

The Sunday closing hour for
all women is midnight; l a.m.
remains as Friday-Satc-"w cur-
few for freshmen.

Upperclassmen have Junior~
senior privileges," which means
in most cases that women may
stay out until 3 a.m. any night.
The procedure determining these
late hours is regulated by indi-
vidual residence halls and Greek
letter houses.

Staff signatures are no longer
required on overnight signout
slips. Signout forms for out-of-
town day trips were abolished
last year by Associated Women
Students (AWS), which also ap—
proved the hours changes after
nearly a year of survey, debate,‘
and experiment. Final approval
came during the summer from

the Office of Student Affairs.

during an open housing demonstration on Milwaukee's south side.

He was one of many arrested as thousands d jeering whites pro-
tested a march by Negroes.

Clothes Problem?

By OSSILYN ELLIS

If you're a woman and
wondering where to find origi-
nal fashions in Lexington, your
problem may be over.

Mrs. Sally Noviello and Mrs.
Carroll Edwards, both of Lex-
ington, recently formed a de-
sign partnership for the latest
in classic fashions.

Mrs. Noviello’s fashions are
known around town as designs
by Salli, and you may have your
own Salli styled especially for
you by appointment with the;
designers at Mrs. Noviello’s
Beaumont Park home.

How Did She Start?

How did a local woman start
a career in fashion design? “My
original Salli design was a favor
for a friend,” said Mrs. Noviello,
“and after she wore it I began
receiving calls from other friends
who wished me to design a
dress for them.”

Mrs. Noviello made her first

said they’re fine. “They’re really
no different now than they were
ten years ago. However, the
idea behind mod clothing is to
be the first one to wear it and
also the first to discard it for
some other style.”

“The best dress is the classic
dress,” she explained. “If you
buy an outfit that is both
fashionable and classic, it will
cost you more money now, but
it will not be out of style for
several years. With this type of
dress you can raise and lower
the hemline and always be in
style.”

How‘does Mrs. Noviello feel
about her work? “This whole
design idea is a painting,” she
said, “you have to take a two
dimensional object (the mate-
rial) and make it into a three
dimensional object, (the finish-
ed product).”

"I try to make each of my
clients a designer in her own
right,” Salli said. “They tell me
what they have in mind and
where they are going to wear
it, then I make suggestions and
start from there.”

Salli in the micro, mini, hostess,
and patio hemline. ,

Perhaps the best reason for-a
campus woman to own her own
Salli is that she'll never run into
a friend at a party who’s wear-
ing an identical dress. The de-
signers explained that they
never use the exact pattern
more than once. “Although the
basic dress design may be
similar, we always make changes
in hemline, fringe, or fabric,”
Mrs. NOviello said.

To prove the distinctiveness
of their fashions, Mrs. Edwards
modeled a classic culotte cock-
tail dress of emerald green silk,
accented with a detachable tur-
quoise bow-type belt at the hips.
“This same dress, said Mrs.
Noviello, "can be made of wool
or knit, and with only minor
alterations it could be worn as
a jumper with a knit blouse for
a less formal occasion.”

War Fails As Poet’s
Topic In Collection

not make good poetry is not
contradicted by this collection
of outbursts against the Viet-
nam \\'ar.

Perhaps because only one of
these eighty-seven poets has
served in Vietnam or maybe be-
cause eighty-seven variations on
one theme can be wearying.
much of the book comes out
artificial and contrived.

There are exceptions. Robert
Lowell's “Fall 1961" is moving
for those sympathetic to Lo-
well's sensibility. The point of
Thomas Merton's "Chant to be

. Used in Processions around a

Site with Furnaces" is no less
strong for being indirect.

In the main, though, most of
these eliorts approach poetry
like—well, like the white man's
napalm approaches the yellow
man’s democracy.

a

Student’s Suspension

Believed Illegal

United Press International

MONTGOMERY, Ala—Federal Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr.
indicated Monday Troy $ate College may have deprived a student
editor of his right tO free speech when it censored an editorial in

the campus neWSpaper.

The editorial was censored
because it was critical of the legis-
lature and the governor.

"The rule says you can write
nice about them' but you can't
write bad about them,” Judge
Johnson told school attorneys in
questioning whether the policy
had a rational basis.

Judge Johnson promised a mi-
ing within a few days on whether
Cary Dickey, former editor of
the newspaper, mug be readmit-
ted to school. His comments came
during a hearing on Dickey's suit
demanding readmission.

Dickey ran the word “CEN-
SORED" in a blank space in
”The Tropolitan" last Spring in-

stead of a substitution editorial;

that was given him to replace
one that was censored.

The censored editorial had
defended Dr. Frank Rose, presi-
dent of the University of Ala-
bama, who had been criticized
by the legislature for allowing a
controversial magazine to be pub—
lished on his campus.

Criticism Forbidden

President Ralph Adams of.
Troy State testified he forbids
”The'Tropolitan" to criticize the
governor or legislature because
”our life's blood depends on
them. " President Adams is a close
friend of former Gov. George Wal-
lace.

Judge Johnson suggested that
Pruident Adams' rule, rather

than Dickey's actions, might be
responsible for the harm the
school said had been caused by
widespread publicity over the in-
cident. ‘

AttorneyJames Carrett,repre—

senting the college, charged that
the upholding of Dickey's posi-
tion would make a hero of him
and ruin discipline at the school.

”Are you going to put the stu-
dents in charge of the faculty?"
Mr. Garrett asked.

Dickey's attorney, Morris
Deer, said President Adams' rule
amounted to "political silenc-
ing." “The real issue in this case
is one of political persecuti6n,"
he said.

President Adams said he did
not think the school newspaper
should criticize its owners—in
this case the legislature.

He added that he had not and i

the editorial at the time faculty
adviser Wallace Waites censored
it and personally felt it was a
”mild" one that would probably
have been all right to print.

But President Adams said he
backed up the judgement of the
faculty advisers and that Dickey
had then disobeyed the adviser.

Bitch-In Aids Dialogue.

Negroes at the University have
never sung songs of sweetness and

here. In fact, but for the one Bitch-
In held last spring, the question
of Negro life on campus had never
been the subject of public discus-
sion. Now, a second Bitch-In is
scheduled for Sept. 13, by the Cam-
pus Commission on Human Rights.

To begin with, Negro students,
who make up five tenths of one
percent of. the student body, made
it quite clear last spring that UK
is not particularly hospitable to
them. While there were few vio-
lent confrontations between white
and Negro, it became immediately
apparent that sneering glances,dir-
ty remarks, catcalls, and an over-
all “coldness” are the day-in, day-
out events of Negro life here.

What the first Bitch-In did was
to make that initial step of com—
munication‘ between white and
black segments of the University
community. Although it was not
free from sophistry, subtle debate
tactics, and an occasional dash of
pseudo-sociology, a great many of
the four to five thousand students

Educational Innovation Forges 0n ,

who stopped by the Bitch-In came
away touched and aflected by the
kind of life a Negro student leads.
And for those who walked away
confused, at least the buds of mean-
ingful introspection had been stim-
ulated.

The number staying through
that April Bitch-In indicated UK
students and faculty are interested

in making some changes, changes
which will make UK the kind of

place where all peoples can come 0

together to learn free from bigotry.
One student even said it was the

most intellectually stimulating ex; ..

perience he had ever had.

Hopefully many of the side-
shows and personalities which
tended to divert attention away
from the main issue last year will
be avoided next week, and the
dialogue will not degenerate into
individual conflicts and emotional
harangues.

But our main hope is that two
difierent groups of people, white
and black, will come together, will
break down some of the barriers
of their isolation, and at least
for that moment, will communicate.

At SUNY’s Old westbury Campus

Education should never shrink
from innovation and experimenta-
tion. The State University of New
York, fast forging ahead in the ed—
ucational world, now includes 57

diverse campuses.

Some of these, such as Stony
Brook and Buffalo, confidently ex—
pect to be among the top academic
institutions in America.

1 Next year, at Old Westbury, N.
Y., an exciting new liberal arts
campus will be added to the state
system. It will be given unusual
leeway to innovate and experiment.

A prime goal will be to inte-
grate college experience more di-
rectly- with the~ practical problems
oflthe world beyond the campus.
Public service will be strongly em-

Splintering Expression

Through the burning of the good
and faithful Splinter Hall, the Uni-
versity has missed one of the great-
est expressions of student energies
we could have possibly witnessed.

For of the many plans outlined
to remove it, one was to give
each student his destructive chance,
allowing himsuch options as throw—
ing bombs, spears, bricks or what-
not at the breezy building. Then
too, many felt it should have been
left as a fortress for young ROTC-
ites to storm as part of theirmili—
tary training.

Perhaps we shall have to wait
for World War III so a new Army
barracks can be built.

 

phasized. Students will be encour—
aged to spend part of their time in
the Peace Corps or in urban pov-
erty programs.

Rather than a prescribed four-
year course, students will shape
their courses of study to fit in with
their own developing concerns.
Language study, for instance, will
equip them for service experience
in Zambia or among the Puerto
Ricans in New York City's slums.

Students, will, moreover, be en-
couraged to contribute to policy
planning, to challenge the Univer-
sity, and in turn, to be challenged
by it intellectually.

All will work withaCreat Books
curriculum, to include both contem-
porary and historical classics. And
in addition, students can request
unusual courses which especially
interest them, the sort now avail-
able only in the so-called ”free
universities."

Pioneering this experiment at
combining intellectual proficiency
and practical action-oriented edu-
cation is college president-to-be,
Harris Wofford Jr., former White
House aide to President john Ken-
nedy and associate director of the
Peace Corps.

His venture should inspire ed-
ucators elsewhere to exercise simi—
lar courage and ingenuity.

The time is ripe for the intro-
duction of fresh thinking and learn-
ing, beyond the confines of a few
small campuses.

Value Of Student Rights Code
Cannot Be Underestimated

A US. District Court in Wash-
ington has just handed down a de-
cfiion regarding student's rights

Education Grant

Should Benefit
Teachers, Kids

The addition of a $20,000 grant
to the College of Education's dis-
advantaged-children program is an
encouraging sign.

Begun last year, the program was
designed to take eight certified
elementary school teachers and
thrust them into a poverty situation
.where they must work directly with
disadvantaged kids. The great in-
crease will allow the program to

‘expand to include four more grad—

uate students.

Part of the” program for the
teachers will "include academic
work interspersed with a single
day per week in the field. During
the second semester each of the 12
fellows will go intothe schools they
have observed to direct a class.

They will spend two-week per-
iods in programs for the disad-
vantaged elsewhere in the country
and will hold periodic self-explor-
atory seminars among themselves.

It is an exciting program for sev-
eral reasons, but probably the most
valuable element is the cross-cul—
tural exchange to be gained from
actually working and living under
alien conditions, that is, living in
the poverty culture. For there is
all the difference in the world be-
tween reading about statistically
shoeless children and trying to tell
a little mountain boy who has
never-tasted cake what a birthday
party is. ’

which should be of special interest
to the University.

The case involved four students
and five faculty who were dropped
from Howard University last spring
following unrest which school of-
ficials called "disruptive.” Spec-
ifically, the incident was a large
student demonstration preventing
Selective Service Director Lewis B.
Hershey from speaking on campus.
The faculty members were supposed
to have ”assisted" the students. '

Essentially the federal judge
hearing the Howard case absolved
himself of any responsibility stating
that it was “inconceivable that Fed-
eral courts could interfere with the
administration of discipline."

Hopefully, the incident couldn't
happen here. For it is just such a
conflict the University's new ‘stu-
dents’ rights code was designed to
avoid. Written by the consortium
of faculty and students in quasi-
legalistic form, the code ,clearly
specifies just what student acts
are offences, what kinds of punish-
ments the offenses entail, and what
procedures mustbefollowed. Fuzzy
phrases about actions reflecting
poorly “on the University were re-
moved, as they should have been.

The Students Rights Code ap-
proved by tmstees just this spring
has pushed the forefront of Ameri-
can universities in terms of a lib-
eralized relationship between stu-
dents and administrators.

The right of students to demon-
strate and 'picket in behalf of their
beliefs has been safely guarded here
at the University. ' ’
