Students Discuss Merger

"UK will dictate the U of L."
The Student Government

commission on the UK-merger felt this was the main
fear of U of L students concern- ing the proposed merger of the
U

two universities.
The committee met with the
U of L Student Government president and five other student leaders Monday night in Louisville
to discuss student viewpoints
toward a merger.
The UK and U of L students
discussed the future of the graduate schools, and the possible
impact of the merger on professors' salaries, tuitions and stu

dent selectivity. The "name
game" (concern over retaining
separate names) was also discussed, according to Bill Dexter,
chairman of the UK committee.

In an effort to get a student
concensus on the merger issue,
the UK commission took 1000
questionnaires to U of L and
are distributing 1000 questionnaires on the UK campus. Part

students are in favor of a UK-of L affiliation, wliat alternatives to the merger they would

From Ziegfeld To Donovan

Showgirl Now UK Student
By KAY BROOKSHIRE

Kernel Staff Writer
On campus people ask her,
"Were you a showgirl? Were you
a striptease?" The reply is
"Goodness, no!" as Mrs. Helen
Ellner laughs and remembers her
dancing career and her years in
the Ziegfeld Follies.
The tiny and vivacious
woman now has the role
of student here. As a Donovan

regular courses and pays no University fees. The Donovan Senior

she decided to follow the philosophy she learned on the stage
"the show must go on" and
then she entered the University.

Studying Sociology
Mrs. Ellner says she studies
sociology because she likes people. She is especially interested
in children, although she never
liad any of her own. Her studies
now include social work and behavioral science.
She had her first glimpse of
show business at the age of 12,
when she ran away from Iwine
to join the Ring! ing Brothers
Circus. For six weeks, she rode
atop an elephant's head in parades and performances in small
towns. Her interest in dance had
developed long btfore this, and
during her weeks with the circus
she dreamed of being a ballet

dancer.

At 16 she entered the professional world, dancing in various
nightclubs, shows and operattas.
She made her way to New York
City as a talented young performer, and there by chance she
met Florenz Ziegfeld, producer
of the famed Ziegfeld Follies of
the early 19C0's.
Enter Ziegfeld
"I met him in an elevator
when I was going to see a different agent," she remembers.
"Don't go see him," he told
her. "I'm Flo Ziegfeld."
She danced in the follies from
1919 to 1921. Her experiences
seemed like they occurred only
yesterday when she vividly recalls
all the work and pageantry of
the follies. She remeinlers Flo
Ziegfeld as a great nun who
strived for pel fee t ion in his production. Practices began at five

'Running Against The Machine9 Explains Defeat

Norman Mailer, A
By BRAD CRISSOM
Kernel SufT Writer
"Ruiminf Against The Machine"
by Norman Mailer, Doubleday

Schelling had little trouble playing the role of
Mailer had admitted
elsewhere that this is his aspiration also, but he's not been too
successful. Like Jesus, Mailer is
an implicit Judge: you're either
for or against him, and the scales
are weighted heavily in favor of
the disloyals.
Mailer has compensated for
his rejection by becoming a' Victim." Much of his best writing
is infected by cloaked cries of
"They've made me impotent."
"Running Against The Machine"
has the idea as a minor theme
(notably in some nonsensical
hints that the
ticket was beaten because of unfair newspaper coverage), but
that seems to be the only defect.
He wears conservative suits
and has had his hair cut and
combed. He campaigns indefat-igablin a passionately sincere
but eminently rational exhortative tone (with one exception
a hilarious four letter episode in
Creenwich Village).
There was frivolity in the campaign, but it was
Breslin's pledge "If elected, I
will go to Queens" says a lot
about the quality of ordinary
political discourse.
In contrast, the Mailer ticket
offered some very positive alternatives. Foremost was the notion
that New York City should become the 51st state, so that it
could get back more of the 14
billion dollars it pays out in
taxes than the 3 billion it currently receives. Having accomplished that and Mailer thought
his election would be mandate
enough power would be returned to the neighborhoods.
What constitutes a neighborhood would be decided by the

This is probably the first thins
you'll ever read by or about
Norman Mailer in which the ideas
of the man take precedence over
his protean personality. "Running Against The Machine" is
a record of the
campaign last summer in the
Democratic primary for mayor
of New York City.
Edited by the campaign man
ager, it utilizes speeches by the
candidates, position papers of the
campaign team, clippings from
the New York papers, some assessments by the major campaign
workers, and a long magazine

Impatience With Nixon
Dissent, yes. Destruction, no.
It is time for this massive rush
to judgment of President Nixon to
be toned down, time for criticism
to become constructive rather than
in part carelessly destructive. It is
time for Congress and the press
media and the students and all
Americans to remember that the
United States will have its elected
Chief Executive on hand for three
more years with nine months
gone, that leaves 39 to go and
that the nation will do better in
domestic policy and world affairs
if it does not have a battered and
bruised man at the helm.
Vietnam exacerbates all feelings. Collegians have learned how
to stage massive demonstrations.
The news media still have a habit
of running alongside the agitators,
microphone at the ready, cameras
grinding and some spokesman ready
to give equal weight to thoughtful
Maodissent and revolution-ben- t
ists. But none of this is excuse for
allowing honest expression of dissent to become a tidal wave undermining the democratic foundations
of an experienced and responsible
nation.
It is salutary that Hubert Humphrey and Dean Acheson have come
to the defense of the presidency.
Mr. Acheson, President Truman's
Secretary of State,
outspoken
warned last week against the savage drumfire which virtually adds

up to an attempt politically to
destroy President Nixon. Hubert
Humphrey, endorsing the administration's peace efforts, declared:
"We have only one president at a
time, and I think the worst thing
we can do is try to undermine
the efforts of the President."
Mr. Nixon has sought what he
describes as an honorable peace
in Vietnam. Probably he has moved
too slowly. He plans larger troop
withdrawals shortly. Politically
pragmatic, he is dropping General
Hershey as draft czar. Concilia-toriallhe has appealed to the
Democratic-controlle- d
Congress for
a "working partnership" to enact
vital legislation: welfare reform,
draft revision, social security
boosts, crime control, food stamp
expansion and the like. These are
not the moves oi a president deserving impeachment.
Surely no one wants to transform the United States into an
unstable, mercurial country where
policy is determined by massive
y,

demonstrations

and

protest

marches. It may or may not be
true, as Secretary of State Rogers
charges, that rising war criticism
has ended the chance for a negotiated settlement in the next few
months. But it is undeniably true
that a vilified, discredited President could hardly lead the nation
through the next three years.

Kernel Soapbox
By JOHN KIRK
Many people, including myself, have
for some time been perplexed by the
prevelance of student uprisings on U.S.
college campuses and have endeavored
to figure out what kinds of people were
involved in confrontations that castigated
our government while shouting "Ho, Ho,
Ho Chi Minh," and "Bring the War
home to the imperialists U.S. pigs."

From my years of campus observations
I believe that students who participate in
such activities can be classified as follows:
In any confrontation in which student
outlaws destroy property and treasonously
undermine United States foreign policy,
one can safely bet that the demonstrators are led by the type of student that I
refer to as SCUM (Students Completely
Under Marxism). Like the acronym implies, they are a low form of life resorting to the most uncivil i7d techniques.
(e.g. feces throwing in Chicago) ot persuasion." As the name states, these students are disciples of Marx, the father of

Communism, and want to "restructure"
our society.
The SCUM are followed closely
and supported strongly by the BRATS
(Brainwashed Radical Activist Teachers
and Students). Cenerally, in these confrontations the battle is directed by generals from the SCUM class these generals
being assisted by captains and lieutenants'
from the BRATS class. Unlike the SCUM
States

United States. Whereas the SCUM want
