Student Asks SC To Censure
Kernel For Abortion Story
Gutfi
Calls Story
'Garbage9

By KENNETH GREEN
Associate News Editor
A senior sociology major last
night called on Student Congress
to censure the Kentucky Kernel
for a story it ran Tuesday about
an abortion performed on a former University coed.
Marty Gutfreund said he was

"sick and ashamed" of the story.
"Something like this just shouldn't appear in our newspaper. It
was poor and rotten."
Gutfreund, who is a member
of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity
and who is not a member of
Student Congress, was introduced by SC Representative
Larry Kellcy.
He, brought the matter before Congress, asking for SC's
help in a campaign he has begun against the Kernel's actions
in the incident.
lie said that he and his fraternity brothers had begun a campaign by "going around to all
the sororities and fraternities and
getting signatures for a petition
we plan to present to the Hoard
of Student Publications."
He said that he would take up
the matter today with Dr. Paul
Oberst, professor in the College
of Law and chairman of the
Hoard.
"1 am proud of my University," he said in preface to his
remarks. "Rut v. hen something
like this comes up in the student newspaper, it makes me
sick and ashamed. It doesn't
speak for me or for my frater-

nity."

He suggested that the Kernel
should be subject to prior censorship, saving, "A 40- - or
man knows more about what
is good for the students, I'm sure,
than
aspiringjournal- -

lsts.
"The Kernel has always been
free, we are told, and they are
proud of it. And then something
like this happens.
"Something like this should
not appear in the campus newspaper. The story was poor and
rotten. A story like this doesn't
have a place in mine or your
newspaper.
"I'm asking you to stand up
and be counted as students of the
University in the name of
morality and decency."
Gutfreund said that he would
"stay here an extra semester if
I have to so 1 can drag the Kernel editors who are responsible
for this garbage through the mud
just like they dragged this poor
girl though the mud."

print this sort of garbage.'
Referring to pictures which
appeared on page five of yesterday's Kernel, Gutfreund said:
"You have stooped low by denouncing the Greeks and ath-

letics."

(The pictures carried with
them humorous captions. One
picture was of a sorority masquerade, and the caption said:
("Greeks on Campus Have
Recently Initiated A Cultural Advancement Program."
(The caption under another
picture, of a football player said:
("Students Acquire New
Sense Of Values During Their
College Career.")
"A sentinel on the front lines
is required to stop all enemies
that try to get through the lines.
And this is the enemy.

He also spent three months
in Asia in March and May of
1933 touring with Adlai Stevenson.

He is a former member of the

during World War II. Arthur received the UK Alumni Association Distinguished Service

Award in 1962.

The story to which Gutfreund was referring last
night appeared in Tuesday's Kernel.
In that story it was reported that a former University coed, Carolyn Sue Wright, had testified in
Lexington Police Court that two women had performed
an abortion on her.
The two women, Mrs. Flora Mae Rain, 48, and Mrs.
Frances Horine, 51, were held over to the Grand Jury.
They were under a similar indictment before Miss
Wright's testimony.
Mrs. Rain is charged with performing an abortion,
and Mrs. Horine is charged with being an accessory
before and after an abortion.
nel staff member who was

said:

"Oh, you're great crusaders

is a ruminative monologue about the very tentative
beginning of what might (but
very likely won't) become a love
affair. The story's concerns seem
to me to be closely related to the

prose.

Joe Nickell's poems are short
but developed in their brevity.
He tends to emphasize the quick
insight and image also, but I
think his images arc quite precise. I like the way he can suggest meaning in the fact:
I taste paint, and the smell
of turpentine and oil
rises from my mug, a
bitter drink.
No ideas but in things.
The art work strikes me as
being tentative but interesting.
Cheryle Kelly's sense of design
shows up well in the blacks and
whites which are all, that an
artist can use in Stylus.
The figures of Mark Peltz and
Ron Meaux, like some of the
magazine's poetry, suggest future, as yet unmade works. The
skill in both cases, however, is
impressive. "Ail an thus" by

Stuart Robinson shows an excellent sense of balance. The
masses, spaces and lines are very
harmoniously coordinated.

Michael Cornfcld's cover is
imaginative though perhaps too
subdued. His use of photography
suggests that Stylus has not even
begun to exploit the possibilities
of the camera.
Stylus is late, but it is here
and there are no exams to distract its potential readers. Previously, Stylus came out just
before exams and it usually sank
out of sight without leaving a
trace. This time those who could
be expected to be interested in
undergraduate writing will at
least have the time to see what
is happening among the students.

Cheating At The Academy
Anyone who has done military
service will not be unduly shocked
by the disclosure of cheating at
the Air Force Academy. The implication of "more than 100" out of
2,700 cadets does not sound higher
than the likely average of bent and

broken

g
regulations under
service conditions.
The magnitude of certain cadets'
efforts to steal and sell examination
papers does not equal last year's
"Bac Scandal" in France, where a
baccapart of the
laureate test was widely traded.
Further perspective is added by the
results of a scholarly survey that
found some academic dishonesty
admitted by half the students in a
post-trainin-

sample from 99 American institu-

tions.
Thus the Air Force Academy
should not be condemned out of
hand any more than West Point
when it had its cheating scandal in
the early 'fifties. Most of the cadets
are obeying the academy's honor
system. Indeed, it reportedly was
action by cadets under the system
that led to investigation of cheating among their colleagues.
As Eugene M. Zuckert, Secretary
of the Air Force, said, the honor
code not only declares "we will not
lie, steal, or cheat," but it adds, "or
tolerate among us those who do."
Despite such circumstances, however, there is something particularly egregious about the present
situation. If men are going to win
their way to commissions through
dishonesty, what respect are they

A

Grcat Socicly ,s 1,c,,ty

of Lcis,,rc"

of
likely to give the carrying-ou- t
their commissions? What is the
private to think of the officer who
may have received his rank and
privileges through cheating?
Representative Stratton of upstate New York raises the additional
question of whether the cheating
was a consequence of "athletic professionalism" at the service academies. There is some evidence
that college cheating in general is
more frequent among athletes. It
is ironic indeed if the cultivation
of sportsmanship on the playing
field is to be accompanied by cheating to keep up in the classroom.
This raises the whole subject
of recruitment for colleges on the

basis of other than academic potential. Surely athletics, musicianship, or whatever else should be
kept in an amateur position subordinate to the main business of
learning.
In the light of the high traditions
of the Air Force, we doubt that its
relatively new academy is extensively sacrificing quality of education in attempts at athletic prowess
despite the number of athletes
among those thought to be involved
in the cheating.
By indicating a proper scale of
values in its actions, any academic
institution helps provide the proper
climate for development of values
among its students. Part of learning is to consider means as well as
ends, to learn not to cheat oneself by cheating others.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
The folowing event took place
just a few days ago. It was five after
five. The snowstorm was raging outside when I left the Student Center
to come home via Harrison Avenue.
The traffic on Euclid Avenue was
very heavy in both directions. Taking advantage of the lack of a stop
light, cars were racing speedily
while a crowd gathered on the side
street waiting for the chance to
cross the street.
A row of cars was aligned on
Harrison Avenue, as impatient to
get out as the crowd. I waited for
four minutes and the traffic on
Euclid Avenue lulled a little. At
that moment I saw a coed hurrying
across the street. Apparently whe
didn't see a car rushing out of
Harrison Avenue. We yelled. She
seemed to have sensed the danger,
and in her haste she fell on the
slippery road. The approaching car
applied an emergency brake. But it
was too late. The car rotated 180
degrees. I heard a frantic scream
and saw next moment a pancaked
figure. And I awoke from my dream.

300 To Resign?

Academy Continues Investigation

By WILL CRIMSLEY
FOHCE ACADEMY,
Colo. (AP)-T- he
Air rorce intensified Thursday its investigation of the cheating scandal
at the school for flying cadets
as embittered parents criticized
the academy's honor code and
threatened to go to Congress
about it.

AIR

Air Force Secretary Eugene
M. Zuckert announced appointcomment of a special five-ma- n

mittee to study programs at the
academy, rocked by an
controversy that has led
to the resignations of 65 cadets.
Zuckert said the committee
will "review fundamental pro- exams-for-sa-

le

grams of the Air Force Academy."
It will be headed by Gen.
Thomas D. White, former Air
Force chief of staff.
Sources at the academy said
the number of resignations might
reach 300 before the investigation
ends, expected around Feb. 10.
The source described as possibly a weak estimate an announcement by Zuckert last week that
more than 100 cadets may be involved, including about 30 football players.
Parents have lashed at the
honor code as "impractical" and
"sadistic." Some said they may
ask Congress to look into reasons behind the scandal.

"For 19 years you rear your

"It's like somebody dying,"
