Sees Violence

Erupt Anew

CINCINNATI (UPI)—Gangs
of Negro youths roamed through
Hughes High School Wednes-
day, beating white students and
screaming Black Power slogans
at police.

Police Chief Jacob Schott
blamed the rampage 0n “pur—

veyors of hate and Black
Power.”

Eight girls and six boys, all
white, reported they were

beaten in a series of incidents.
Two girls reportedly had their
clothing ripped off. No one was
seriously injured, but several
received cuts and bruises.

Ten Negro youths were ar-
rested in connection with the
violence.

Some 200 Negro students
jeered police and chanted Black
Power slogans outside the
school, according to Police Lt.
Harvey Hummeldorf. Windows
in a nearby dress shop were
smashed by a thrown brick.

In a verbal report to City
Council late Wednesday, Chief
Schott said he personally
rescued a white girl who was
being stomped and kicked by
about 20 Negro girls.

‘Race Against Race'

Hughes, a combination junior-
senior high school near the Uni-
versity of Cincinnati, has about
a 50-50 ratio of Negro
and white students, although
Negroes outnumber whites
among the older students.

“This is race against race,"
Chief Schott told council.
“We've always had some of this
trouble. But this year, it is more
prevalent than it's ever been.”

Cincinnati was rocked by
racial rioting in June and again
in July. The National Guard
had to be called in to help
restore order in the June riot-
ing.

“As long as we have people
preaching hate and Black
Power in this community, we're
going to have this kind of
trouble," the chief told Council.
“\Ve don't have enough man-
power to station a policeman
in every classroom. but we may
have to assign a policeman to
every school in the city."

Councilman John Held
warned, “If something isn't done
to prevent future trouble, there's
going to be the darnest back-
lash you ever saw anywhere."

UNC Hires Rights Leader

Despite Governor’s Criticism

GREENSBORO N.C. (CPS)
—The University of-North Car—
olina has hired a controversial
civil rights leader as a lecturer
in social work despite Gov. Dan
KTMoore's calling the appoint-
ment "a very serious mistake."

Approval to hire Durham,
NC, civil rights leader Howard
Fuller had been given by the
UNC board of tmstees executive
committee Sept. 8 but was quest-
ioned at a full meeting of the
board here last week. (on Friday
Oct. 6)

Fuller's appointment had
touched off a controversy in the
state and Gov. Moore had sided
with those who did not wan

monstrations during the summer

riot training.

Gov. Moore, who is also chair-
man of the UNC tmstees, sat
impassively during the meeting
Friday as UNC President William
Friday defended the Fuller ap-
pointment. Dr. Friday said the
civil rights leader had been hired
for the $1,500-lectureship only
after the faculty of the school
of social work had ascertained his
experience and academic qual-
ifications to lecture on commun-
ity organization.

President Friday said Fuller
was only one of 1,700 part-time
lecturers the school would hire
during the year.

After the board voted to up-
hold the appointment, Gov.
Moore moved the meeting on
to the next item on the agenda
without comment.

 

 

Aggressor Force Near

 

The Ene my Threatens

Lexington Community,

ROTC Stands Watch

By DOTTY BEAN
Enemy forces located in Frankfort last night threatened an

attack on the Lexington area.

Aggressor forces of the 4th
motorized F usilier division—with
nuclear capability—were two
miles east of Frankfort.

Indications were they would
continue their penetration until
Lexington was seemed.

On campus, complex towers,
the Engineering Building and
other points ceased normal func-
tions for three hours to become
observation points, and other
buildings became refugee cen-
ters and supply and ammunition
depots.

Students were evacuated to
emergency shelters.

This, at least, was the situa-
tion from the viewpoint of a
mock defense headquarters set
up in Buell Armory last night
as part of the training for seniors
in Army ROTC.

The training situation was de-
vised and set up by Capt. Jim
Channon of the campus ROTC
unit to provide students with
experience in an emergency
operation center.

The plan was an actual Civil

Defense plan prepared by the
Kentucky Area Command for
defense of the campus.

A control headquarters, two
subordinate headquarters and a
communications station were set
up in the Armory. From these
points ROTC students reported
“enemy positions" and made
“recommendations” as staff of—
ficers for the defense of ‘the
Lexington area. Actual field
communications equipment was
used to give them experience
in handling the apparatuses.

' Performance of the duties as-
signed to each “staff officer" was
based on material learned in
class and an earlier briefing by
Capt. Channon. Performance
was "good," Capt Channon said.

“If you prescribe limits for
a student, he’ll stay within those
limits; but if you give him a
situation, motivate him and then
give him his head, he will per-
form far beyond your expecta-

tions as they have done tonight,"
he said.

Publications Board Should Act,
6Even If It Means A New Board’

By HELEN McCLOY

Candor was in order Wednes-
day at the Board of Student
Publications’ first meeting of
the year.

The 90-minute session ended
with a call from chairman Gif-
ford Blyton for “action, (even)
if we have to get a new board."

Editors of The Kentucky Re-
view, The Kentuckian and The
Kernel discussed problems be-
fore the board, 13 of whose 14
members attended.

William Knapp, Kernel edi—
tor, said the newspaper's chief
problem with the board in the
past had been one of distrust.

Cites Board Composition

"Look at the membership,”
Knapp asked, pointing out that
one representative of a local
newspaper and three affiliiates

of Student Govemment—institu-

tions not infrequently chastised
on Kernel editorial pages—are
on the board.

“The Kernel needs a board
that is objective, not a board
which bears old grudges,”
Knapp said.

A production problem faced
by The Kernel was presented
for the Board's consideration.

Dr. Blyton further designated
the Advisory Board to talk to
University officials who have
said that the 1968 yearbook
may be. sold only in the Student
Center and one room of the
Complex. In the past, the official
UK annual has been sold in
dormitory lobbies as well.

A burst of laughter went up
from the board when Tom
Graler, Kentuclcian editor, said
he had been told sales in the
residence halls “amounts to co-
ercton.

Miss Bonnie Cox said her
only current problem as editor
of The Kentucky Review is in
getting material for the maga-
zine. “Unless I flunk out," the
English graduate student said,
there will be two editions of
The Review this year. The Re-
view publishes critical as well
as creative works in the human-
ities by faculty and students.

Dr. Blyton said the Advisory
Board, of which he is a mem—
her—would meet "as soon as
possible.”

Other Advisory Board mem-
bers are William Hanna, Win-
ston Miller, Diane Brown and
Dr. Lyman Ginger, chairman.

The publications board has
seven student members, four
faculty members and three

members-at-large.

Plummer Thrives 011 Words—
Turns Students Into Quidnuncs

By JOE HINDS
Kernel Arts Editor

The stocky man pushed a
white lock of hair off his fore—
head with a weathered hand and
said, ”I’d do it again ifI had
the chance. "

Dr. Niel Plummet, UK' ety-
mology professor, wanted to be-
come a lawyer 30 years ago when
his etymology teacher at UK died
of a heart attack.

“Somebody had to pick up
the marbles. So I purchased two
copies of each of the major dic-
tionaries and took over his classes
the next Monday morning," Dr.

Plummer explained while leaning
back in his office chair.

The former head ofUK'sjourn—
alism department had no regrets
about his 30 years as etymology
professor. And with his youthful
enthusiasm he looked forwardto
the next thirty.

Etymology is one ofthe most
popular classes at UK. Hetumed
away 400 students last fall semes-
ter but he took double size clas-
ses this semester including mostly
upperclassmen preparing for
graduate tests.

He folded his hands together
and looked at the ceiling. He
surveyed his tall cabinet filled
with dictionaries and explained
his latest drive to convert stu-
dents into quidnuncs.

“A quidnunc is a person who
is avidly curious about words.
My goal is to get students in—
terested in words and get their
motors running. If I leave them
antagonistic toward words. I
have defeated my purpose."

He leaned back heavily and
moaned, “The attitude most stu-
dents have about a word is that
they can walk on it just like a

present.

He bounced from his chair
and grabbed a book from his
shelf, turned a few pages and
asked, ”Do you know what goo-
gol means? It's not named after
Barney Coogol eigher.

”It's an actual word coined
by Dr. Edward Kasner who was
showing his son a large number
on paper. The youth said some-
thing like “Coogol, and a new
word was born."

He pointed to where he had
obtained the reference book and
said, ”In that book case, I have
dictionaries ranging from 'The
Devil's Dictionary' to ‘Smith's
Bible Dictionary.' These books
provide me with enough informa-
tion to occupy myself ifI were
put in a black hole in Caluctta."

Just then one of his etymo-
logy students walked in and said
that she was dropping out
ol school but wanted to give
him two new words she found
before leaving.

He thanked her and carefully
put the words on his desk for
future study. He pulled at his
nose and said, ”I have a lively
correspondence with students
who encounter new words. They
Iiketo try to stump me.

”I try to keep up with the
studenhs slang, but the phrases
give me trouble. I still don't
know what gronk and grok mean.

”You can't even look at funny
papers anymore without mnning
into slang." He pointed to a re-
cent ”Pogo” cartoon strip with
one of the characters shouting.
”Cack."

The father of four children
lives with his wife in a country
home about a mile from Jessa-
mine County.

He concluded by giving the
etymology of reporter. "Youarea
'reporter which comes from re
meaning hack and portare mean-
ing to carry. so go carry your
story back to the office."

DoNot Overlook .
Behind-Scene Men

By C. MITCHELL DOUGLAS

The first performance of f'The Entertainer" was well received .‘
last night, but a special ”bravo" should go to the behind the

scene workers.

It took highly specialized elements to produce John Osbome’s
play which runs through Sunday in the Cuignol Theatre.

These specialized elements in-
cluded an able, experienced cast
of eight, a setting which alter-
nates between an English music
hall and the home of a music
hall performer, a music hall or-
chestra, a series of painted nudes
twelve feet high on the music
hall curtain, and a skilled and
sensitive director.

Additional contributions were
made by construction crews, cos-
tume designer, stage manager,
technical director, and box office
personnel.

Wallace N. Briggs, director
of the production, has been active
in university theatre since 1933.
William Nave, who played Archie
Rice, is no strangerto UK theatrer
He has appeared here for more
than twenty-five years in roles
ranging from Brutus in “Julius
Caesar" to Poo-Bah in ”The Mi-
kado." Another Cuignol Theatre
veteran Cene Arkle, portrayed
Billy Rice, Archie's seventy-five
year old father.

Others in the cast boast strong
professional backgrounds. Eliza-
beth Hoagland, Bryan Harrison,
Larry Auld, Bekki Jo Schneider,
Jane Burch and Howard Enoch
have all worked professionally
with the University's Centennial
Theatre.

In addition. Miss Hoagland
and Mr. Enoch have worked with
the Caravan Theatre in Dorset,
Vermont. Miss Schneider has
worked with Triangle Theatre in
Durham, NC. and toured with
the Carriage House Players and
the USO. For ”The Enter-

Bonn Recital

Set Tonight

James L. Bonn will present
a piano and harpsichord recital
today at 8:15 p.m. in the UK's
Agricultural Science Auditorium.

A newcomer to the Depart-
ment of Music faculty, Bonn will
perform three Domenico Scarlat—
ti's sonatas, Frederic Chopin's
“Sonata in B minor, Opus 58,"
Bach's ”Toccata in C minor,"
Copland's ”Piano Variations,"
and Lizst's "Hungarian Rhap-
sody No. 6."

Bon‘n received a bachelor of
arts degree from the University
of Minnesota and a master of
music degree from the Manhat-
tan School of Music in New York
City. He was the recipient of the
St. Paul Schubert Club Scholar-
ship, the Minneapolis Star and
Tribune Tanglewood Scholarship
and the Minneapolis Symphony
Young Artist Award.

He has toured the colleges
of the Northwest as a recitalist
for the University of Minnesota
Department of Concerts and Lec-
tures and has appeared as soloist
with many symphony orchestras,
including the Minneapolis Sym-
phony.

Before joining the UK faculty
as an associate professor this
fall, Bonn was a member of the
Hamline University music fac-
ulty.

Flauto served as resident designer

The Kernel Poll—Accurate, Unbiased,(We Hope)

The Kentucky Kernel has initi-
ated a poll to determine student
opinion on topical issues like the
war in Vietnam, the gubernatorial
race, the ombudsman, and Maine
Chance Farm. .

The poll is based on a ran-
domly drawn sample of the Uni-
versity student population. By an
accurate scientific method 381 ran-
dom students were selected from a
complete student list provided by
the Registrar.

These 381 students represent
every conceivable subgrouping
within the student body, including
undergraduates, graduates, fresh—
men, sophomores, juniors, seniors,
out-of-staters, Kentuckians, cam-
pus and off campus residents,
Greeks and non—Creeks, liberals and
conservatives, scholars and play-
boys, and the rest.

Every efion has been made to
make the poll as scientifically ac-
curate as possible, and the tech-
niques employed are those used
by the leading pollsters, Harris,
Gallop, and Roper. The questions,
as shown below with correspond-
ing percentage results, were read
to each respondent as they are
printed with no attempt to sway
him in his answer. Views of the
editorial staff of The Kernel or of
the particular pollsters eliciting the
responses were in no way allowed
to interact with the questions or
answes. “

By MARTIN E. WEBB

When the $30 million Maine
Chance anti-trust suit was filed in
U.S. district Court Aug. 14 the
wheels of litigation began turning.
They could roll on indefinitely.

To date eight depositions have
been filed in the Federal Court
Clerk’s Office totalling 776 pages,
not including the several hundred
pages of exhibit material.

According to Federal Court ci-
vil procedure a deposition is used
to “aid preparation for the trial."
It is used to establish whether or
not there is enough evidence to
warrant a trial.

A deposition aids civil proced-
ure in three respects: (1) ”avoid-
ance of surprise;" (2) “affording
an intelligent basis for atrial brief ’
and (3) "the preservation of testi-
monylikely to be needed.”

So far depositions have been
given by:

> Louis Lee Haggin, II, 54—year-
old president of Keeneland since
April 25, 1956. Mr. Haggin is a
member of the Board of the First
Security National Bank, a board
member of the Kern County Land
Company and a steward of the
Jockey Club. Deposition length-
‘101 pages.

)John W. Oswald, 49, the presi—
dent of the University of Kentucky
'and president of the University of
Kentucky Research Foundation.
Deposition length-210 pages.

California horseman Rex Ells-

question reported this week, these
same respondents were polled on
the Maine Chance issue, American
presence and policy in Vietnam,
and the upcoming gubernatorial
race between Louie Nunn and
Henry Ward.

The results of these polls will
be published shortly.

In previous years so—called cam-
pus polls have been conducted
which amounted to little more than
old-time nian-in-thestreet ques-
tionnaires. Right now the down-
town newspaper’s combined Satur-
day edition is conducting some-
thing it chooses to call a poll,
when indeed all it does is reflect
the views of a small group of in-
terest-vested readers. Rather than
accurately sampling the opinions
of the Lexington community
through a random procedure, the
paper merely allows its own read-
ers the opportunity to return a
questionnaire printed in the news-
paper. There is no attempt to sam-
ple views of non-readers, and in
fact these who do respond are
likely to be only those persons
of prior commitment who have
their own axes to grind. This al-
leged poll is a circulation gimmick.

On the other hand, the poll
printed in The Kernel seeks to
determine the mind of the campus,
the issues students are concerned
about, and their views on these
issues.

The initial Kernel poll was taken

by telephone. It is to be hoped
that the use of the telephone does
not induce dissonance into the poll,
and every effort will be made to

improve and perfect our polling
techniques as we gain experience
with this important communica-
tions format. '

Under the New Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure a deposition
may be used for the purpose of
discovery, whereas the old rules
permitted depositions only for the
purpose of proof.

”Discovery" is defined as hav-
ing three basic purposes.

“To narrow the issues, in order
that at the trial it may be nec-
essary to produce evidence only as
to a residue of matters which are

found to be actually disputed and
controverted.

To obtain evidence for use at
the trial.

To secure information as to the
existence of evidence that may be
used at the trial and to ascertain
how and from whom it may be pro-
cured, as for instance, the existence,
custody and location of pertinent
documents or the names and ad—
dresses of those having knowledge
of revelant facts.”

The scope of a deposition en-
tails “examining any deponent re-
garding any matter, not privileged,
which is relevant to the subject
matter involved in the pending
action."

Theoretically the taking of de-
positions could extend the litigation
process indefinitely.

In the Maine Chance contro-
versy, depositions serve four basic
purposes:

A deposition has the effect of
lumping all witnesses into one pot
because, according to Federal Civil
Procedure ”a party shall not be
deemed to make a person his own
witness for any purpose by taking
his deposition.

The scope of an inquiry has
five basic purposes;

Any person whether or not he is
a party to the action, may be ex—
amined. '

The interrogation may relate to
any relevant matter, not privileged,
irrespective of whether its purpose
is to narrow the issues, to obtain
evidence for use at the trial or to
ascertain where such evidence may

exist and may be secured.

The examination may relate to
facts bearing on the claim or de-
fense or the adverse party as well
as that of the examining party.

The examination need not be
limited' to ultimate facts, but may
extend to evidentiary matters.

The discovery need not be lim-
ited to matters exclusively or pec-
uliarly within the knowledge or con-
trol of an adverse party. It may
extend to matters of which the
examining party has personal know-
ledge.

It may appear that as there is
no restriction on the right to take
depositions that it canbe said there
is also unlimited discovery.

But there are very definite re-
strictions on the right to use de~
positions. Unlimited proof by de-
position is therefore not contem-
plated.

The utmost freedom is allowed
in taking depositions; restrictions
are imposed on their use. As a re-
sult there is accorded the widest
possible opportunity for knowledge
by both the parties of all the facts
before the trial.

If and when the plaintiffs and
the defense feel that enough testi-
mony has been gathered the de-
cison to try the case lies in the
hands of the Federal Judge. In this
case Judge Mac Swinford will de-
cide if enough evidence has been
compiled to warrant a trialbe-
tween Arnold Pessin and Rex Ells-
worth versus Keeneland Associa-
tion and the University of Ken-
tucky Research Foundation.

‘But You Got An Advisorl
Last Term, Didn’t You?’

‘Yes, Before AndBefore . . .

By DAVID HOLWI‘BK

I have a friend who dreads
the thought of pro-registration
because he knows he’ll have to
see his advisor. The other day
I saw him in a state whichI
immediately classified as his pre-
registration depression and I
asked him what it was about
his advisor that affected him so
adversely. He sighed and told

me the following story.

My advisor, Dr. M-, is one
of the most respected members
of the Herpetology department.
He teaches two courses in her-
petological vertebrae structures

and publishes frequent artice'ls—jadVisee. ..

based on his thesis (Michigan
State, 1932). His office is on the
third floor of F- Hall, in a nar-
row dimly lit corridor.

Dr. M- has been my advisor
since the second semester of my
freshman year. Every time I go
to see him I go through the
same procedure, and every time
it becomes more maddening and
incomprehensible.

I knock on the door, raising
a thick cloud of dust, and a
barely audible voice from within
says "Come in." Dr. M— is sit-
ting at his desk, his great mass
of white hair swept back to keep
it out of his eyes as he tries to.
assemble the skeleton of a garter
snake. ”Look at old Thamno-
phis here," he says, calling the
garter snake by his genus. He
waves the partially assembled
skeleton at me, dislodging a few
of its ribs in the process.

”.Dr M-," i begin, ___I d like

to talk about my schedule for
next year. '

“Hadn't you better talk to
your advisor about that, young
man?" he asks, turning back to
his skeleton.

”But you are my advisor, sir,"
I explain.

”Are you sure," he says. ”I
don't remember you as one of my
advisees. I don't think you are
one of my advisees."

”But you've been my adVisor
for two years now," I protest.

”I don't believe you are my
he says. ”,However
I have room for one more advisee
if you would like to have me
for an advisor. Go down to the
office and have them put you
on my list, then come back up
and I'll advise you."

I go down to the herpetology
office in the basement, tell them
I want an advisor, give them my
name. The lady looks at me
strangely. ”You were here to get
an advisor last semester, weren't
you?" she asks.

”And the
00," I tell her.

”Well, Dr. I M- is your ad-
visor," she says reading an index
card. “He’s upstairs."
