Tie Kentucky Kernel The South's Outstanding College Daily Thursday Evening, Feb. 8, 1968 UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON Vol. LIX, No. 94, UK Growth v7t Slower Than V c National Rate Despite the enrollment of students at the University this school year, recent figures show that the growth was below the national average. Statistics released this week by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) showed that the number of students enrolled in all American colleges and universities increased about eight percent. The growth here was 6.8 percent. The growth rate at UK over the last five years, however, exceeded the national increase for the same period. Influenced considerably by the addition of four new community colleges, the Ten faculty members were honored at the total university enrollment grew Outstanding Teachers Awards Banquet last from 11,321 in 1962 to 22,221 night in the Student Center Ballroom at 6 p.m. last fall.

The largest overall growth rate was found in public institutions of higher education. There was an increase of only 3 percent in the number of students attending private schools. The number of freshmen at private schools actually declined more than 3 percent since the fall of 1966. More than $1 billion in federal aid for student loan and aid now helps nearly programs 1,250,000 college students, compared to 255,000 students who received such assistance five years ago.

Three Western Kentucky University students were to appear in Bowling Creen Police Court today on charges concerning the sale and use of narcotics. The students were arrested Wednesday night in what the Warren County Sheriff's office described as the climax to a investigation into the alleged use of drugs by some Western stuthree-mont- h dents. Being held in lieu of $5,000 bond each were Jolin Steven Campbell, 22, Covington; Donna Kay Cardinale, 18, Clinton, Md.; and Donald Stanley O'Brakta, 18, Bal Harbor, Miami Beach, Fla. Lancaster said that more arrests, perhaps 15 or 20, were expected to be made. Five other Western students were being held Wednesday night for questioning.

M. Edney, zoology; Dr. Holman Hamilton, history; and Mr. Rollin A. Las-ser, English. The program featured three speakers, including UK President John Oswald. The awards were presented by Cleo Vradelis, president of the Panhellenic League and Lynn Williamson, IFC president. et Court Fights, Resignations Would Meet Speaker Ban By GUY MENDES Chances of further speaker ban resolutions in the state legislature seem slim, but should any such laws be enacted, court fights and resignations by certain University faculty members may be invoked. Three UK professors said Wednesday night that should a speaker ban measure be enacted, they will fight it in the courts and possibly resign their positions at the University. Dr. Gene Mason of the UK Political Science Department voiced the strongest opinion, saying he "would resign if a speaker ban were enacted" because the legislature had "no right to restrict the presentation of ideas." Associate professor of business Lawrence Tarpey said such an enactment would be "not only a tragedy, but a disaster" and said, "if it is a bad bill, you can fight it . . that would be my position. But if that alternative would not work, if there was no hope of fighting the bill, I would probably look for another job." A third, Dr. Er W. Kelley, also of the Political Science Department, said he would hold Dr. Tarpey's position and would resign if a speaker ban law "were enacted and not challenged suc- cessfully." A proposed resolution barring an antiwar conference to be held at UK this weekend was to be introduced to the legislature last week but University President John W. Oswald met with the legislators behind the measure last Thursday and convinced them not to introduce it. Small Possibility There remains a small possibility that two other speaker ban resolutions could be introducedone concerning the appearance at UK of Herbert Apth-eke- r, Director of the American Institute for Marxist Studies, on April 22, and another concerning a speaker ban in general. Most feel the chances of such resolutions are slim. Robert Sedler, associate professor of law, called the speaker ban crisis "a dead issue." "I don't think there is any real likelihood a speaker ban will be enacted," Sedler said. "The state legislature has never enacted any loyalty oaths or speaker ban laws, only the sedition law back in the 1920's." "Some of the legislators just I think the want to pop off legislature as a whole has good sense," he said. Sedler said if a speaker ban law were enacted, "I would simply take the thing to court at the first opportunity and have it declared unconstitutional." He said having it declared unconstitutional "could be done quickly" and would be "very easy." Dr. Mason said any speaker ban law would do "nothing to bring credit to the notion of education," and would "violate e Continued 7, Col. 1 ... on-Par- Coming: The Weekend Against The War By DARRELL RICE Kernel Staff Reporter Tli is coming weekend might well be titled, "The Weekend Against The War." A number of prominent speakers are scheduled to appear at the Vietnam Forum Friday night and the Conference on the War and the Draft Saturday. Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Student Center Forum Committee are cosponsoring the third annual Vietnam Forum in Memorial Hall at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 9. Three speakers will discuss the war at the forum. They are Cen. Hugh Hester, Rennie Davis and Bron-so- n Clark. Cen. Hester, who is retired from the Army, was decor at ed for gallantry in World War I. He has done graduate work in international relations at the Uniof a book on versity of Pennsylvania, and is foreign policy, "On the Brink." A cofounder of SDS, Rennie Davis is now director of the Center for Radical Research at the University of Chicago, lie participated in a conference held in Czechoslovakia last September between people from the American Peace Movement and representatives of the National Liberation Front and has also journeyed to Hanoi. Businessman Bronson Clark is director of the Am erican Friends Service Committee's Special Vietnam Effort. He also participated in the Czechoslovakian conference and he traveled to Thailand, Cambodia and South Vietnam. The Vietnam Forum will be free of charge and is to be moderated by Dr. Michael Adelstein of the English Department. On Saturday, Feb. 10, the Kentucky Conference on the War and the Draft, which aroused much controversy in the state legislature, will be held in the Student Center. The conference will begin at 9 a.m. with registration and last until 9 p.m. Several groups are sponsoring it, including the SDS and the UK Peace Action Croup. Kentuckians from communities and campuses across the state will attend, campus coordinator for the conference David Elkinton said. Speakers will include UK Professor Wendell Berry, a poet and novelist, and Professor of Law Robert Sedler. Prof. Berry will speak on "How I Came to be Against the War," and Prof. Sedler will talk in the afternoon on "The Draft and its Legality." Other speakers will be Negro David Tuck, a former member of the Creen Berets in Vietnam who testified at the Bertram Russell War Crimes Trial in Sweden, and John Wilson, a leader in the black militant Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and chairman of the National Black Anti-Wa- r and Anti-Dra- ft Union. Also to speak are Joseph Mulloy, former Appalachian Volunteer who is now with the Louisville Peace Council, and former UK student John Lewis, who is awaiting legal action after having refused induction last October. Small-grou- p workshops will meet throughout the day under the three general groupings of "The War in Vietnam: U.S. Domestic and Foreign Policy," "Organizing and Educating for Action" and "Action Against the War and the Draft." A press release says the conference "grew out of concern expressed by poor people, community organizers and students at the meeting at UK in November about the way the war creates greater poverty and the draft takes young men away from their families and communities because they are black or poor or both." Elkinton said, "What we Itope to accomplish is to put people in touch with others across the state and particularly with people in their regions. Organizing for action will be up to the groups." The conference will charge a registration fee and all interested persons are invited to attend. 50-ce- *
