* A Time For Objectivity
selection of Dr. Otis
as t lie University's chief
executive has been greeted by a
mixture of sentiments. Those in
contact with President Singletary
have nothing but praise for his
administrative ability, his rationality, and his record of experience.
Those who have lived in fear of
the selection of a conservative president have already voiced their
dismay.
Now that the first burst of expletives has passed it is time for
a period of objective evaluation
by all concerned. Dr. Singletary
faces a multitude of complex problems, few of which can be solved
by a simple right or wrong, conservative or liberal, response. The
new president has sidestepped a
number of highly relevant campus
issues by saying that he lacked the
v

Sin-tfleta-

ry

information necessary to form a considered opinion. This is understandable; however, the immunity Dr.
Singletary now enjoys will diminish
as the days pass.
In the meantime there is a great
deal for concerned students to do
while they await the assimilation
process. Once Dr. Singletary has
made his selections for the three
vacant vice presidential posts there
is little students can do to change
the situation. Similarly, the Student
Code, the recruitment policy for
black professors and students, the
attitude toward student dissidents,
the relationship of the University
and the state politicians, and the
goals the University will pursue in
the next few years will all be
settled issues when the President
makes his views known. Now is
the time for students and faculty

to air their sentiments and try
to adopt a unified voice on these
matters which so vitally concern

them.
There are many encouraging indications of Dr. Singletary's willingness to accommodate student
needs with administrative effectiveness. He seems sincere in his statement that "Students don't give up
rights when they enter a univer-

sity."
To prevent the kind of disorder
which has ripped so many college
campuses, and which briefly threatened the University of Kentucky
last spring, Dr. Singletary has a
number of suggestions. He emphasizes the necessity of a set of
fundamental principles that under-gri- d
the structure of the University.
Among these are a published code
of rules and regulations, an unam- -

bigous rationale for dealing with
violations, and a clar-cu- t
policy
regarding sanctions. If these rules,
regulations, sanctions and violations are agreed upon and understood by the students a harmonious
relationship could be created. If
not, Dr. Singletary may find that
the principles are more easily voiced
than implemented.
There may be more pressures
bearing on President Singletary's
mind than any of us outside his
office can realize. As he walks
his tight rope of dilemma we can
offer little security to our new
president. Any unfavorable premonitions we might have had are
waived indefinitely as we give our
wholehearted encouragement to Dr.
Singletary.
Good luck.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in tli is regular column are those
of its author and do not necessarily represent the opinions of the Kernel.
It is time for a final look at last
spring's demonstration. First, reconsider
those expelled. Much was made of the
point that the University had put the
students in double jeopardy. Attorney
General Breckinridge has already made
the legal points of this question quite
clear in his reply to Mr. Futrell. I won't
go into his explanations; I only mention
it because many may have missed his
letter due to its appearance during the
summer. What the University did was
legal.

The second point concerning those
expelled answers the cry that they were
victims of a bureaucratic monolith-th- at
they had been denied their rights. This
gave rise to the cry of "students' rights"
and other bombastic trash.
overlooked was the consideration that the University gives any
student these rights among others: 1)
to decide whether to come to tlie University. 2) to get a good education while
here; (it has not yet been proven to me
that those expelled really lost anything
except money; when it is shown that
they were being deprived of tlkeir education and, not their haven from the draft,
or their four-yea- r
orgy of sex, booze,
parties and pot, then I shall concede
the point and move on to the next one.);
3) the right to decide what company they
will keep if one or two of tlie students

surely knew what was going on and knew
the risks they took.
If they didn't know what was going
on, they were pretty foolish, and will
have a little less naivete in the future.
That is a learning process and can only
amount to a good end; 4) the right to
go to the courts for redress. In this
age much more lasting decisions come
out of the courts and legislatures than
from shouts of obscenities in the streets
and smart-ale- c
parades through the administration building.
My last point concerning those expelled is this: Cases where individuals
are victims of institutions, blind bureaucracies, etc. are extremely, extremely rare. Individuals are almost invariably
victims of their own inability to make

was 574, but that isn't important. The
attendance steadily declined from session
to session, which upholds the theory
that most of those at the original meeting were onlookers, excited about the possibility of something big happening and
wanting to be in on it. Secondly, for 1,000
students, worse still 574, to assume the
role of voice for a campus of 15,000 was
grossly out of taste, out of pace with
Democracy, and verged on the obnoxious.

These men, far from an areaofstaticity,
constantly seek new ideas for the Ixtter-men- t
of t lie education system and, thereby, our society. They, by virtue of their
educations and positions attained through that education, are doing
more for the uplifting of the educational
standards, i.e. salvation of our society,
than any number of radicals, dissidents,
and other rabble who scamper trough the
streets vocalizing on such cliches as "student rights."
Even so, they are not above meeting
with and talking to students, both formally and informally. If those who criticized
our administration had taken the opportunity beforehand to become even faintly
acquainted with any of the administration
involved, they would, most certainly, have
found no need to react to anarchist
methods.

The third and final consideration in
the disturbance is the administration. Contrary to belief held by many of those
demonstrating, the administrators of this
campus are not a pack of bungling,
fools. They are
