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

ional enrollment since 1962 grew
only 45 percent.
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.

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

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.
