10,000.

This was believed to be the first such assembly for a redress of
grievances held In the South.
One hundred one years and 65 days after Abraham Lincoln
enjoined the emancipated slaves to "abstain from all violence" and
"labor faithfully for reasonable wages," this throng proclaimed in
march and song and through the speeches of their leaders that they
were still waiting for the freedom and the Jobs.
No violence marked the demonstration. In fact, at times there
was the air of a hootenanny as groups of young people clapped hands
and swung into the familiar freedom songs.
t But if the crowd waw
the underlying tone was one
of dead seriousness. The emphasis, made with almost religious fervor,
was on "freedom" and "now." At the same time the leaders emphasized, paradoxically but realistically,, that the struggle was far
from won.

The main target of the demonstration

commodations bills
One bill, introduced by Sen. Shelby Kinkead
is
too weak, civil rights leaders claim. Civil rights leaders generally favor
a bill prepared by the Commission on Human Rights. Gov. Breathitt
has indicated he feels the weaker Kinkead bill is the only one that
has a chance of passage, saying "half a loaf is better than none."
The march, organized by a newly-formLouisville group called
the Allied Organizations for Civil Rights in Kentucky, was aimed at
influencing the governor and the legislature to pass the stronger bill
this session.
The march was originally scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Forming
the large crowd took longer than anticipated and the marchers
walk from Second Street to the Capitol steps at
started the
about 11:30 o'clock. It was noon before the entire line had finished
the march, which was more accurately described as "a walk."
Early arrivals at the Capitol were entertained by the Kentucky
State College choir and Peter, Paul, and Mary, a popular folk singing group.
Paul, spokesman for the group, said they were "happy to Join
with you in singing and on this great occasion." Before leaving, the
trio donated $256 towards march expenses.
The Rev. W. J. Hodge, president of the Kentucky chapter of the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, set
forth the purposes behind the march.
He challenged the legislature to pass "a meaningful and enforceable law which will not permit racial discrimination in places of
public accommodations.
"We gracefully and prayerfully petition our governor and our
legislature to pass House Bill 197 the public accommodations bill

While campus police were asking students to walk through the
parking lot by the Student Center to avoid the "Infamous"

Dr. Engleberg said, "It is the

Svara,

who was representing

the Interfaith Council, said ha
was satisfied with the number of
students that attended from the
University. "I think the student
came here over a definite concern for civil rights," he said.
"I think we could have had a
good deal more support," said,
Burchett. "There are more
here from Transylvania
College than from the University." Burchett said he felt that
not being excused from classes
kept many students from participating, but he admitted that
the organizational meeting held
on campus was not well attended.
"The overall attendance of this
march Is going to be a problem.''
Burchett added, "a large estimate
was given to the news agencies)
hoping to draw a large crowd. I
think it would be wrong to consider 10,000 a small crowd even
though 50,000 was the original estimate."
Both Burchett and Svara did
agree on the necessity and tha
impact that the demonstration
should have.
"I think the student interest i

Both Svara and Burchett den

Nanine Neal, Junior education

This is the weatherman's

With Wednesday's rain and the
problems it caused (pneumonia,
colds, wet feet, ruined
shoe?,
drowning and such) there was a
rumor going around that the
University would soon have it's
name changed from the Country
Club of the South to the Venice
of the New World.
The only reason for the rumor
is there were so many canals and
tides running along the campus
mud holes It was almost impossible to travel unless you were

predictability it will
probably snow today.
It's surprising what with midterms
ending this week there
isn't more scheduled, of course
people may be saving their money
for trips to the Land of Sunshine
or that trip to the ski county and
Minneapolis. But there are a few
parties going on.

March

If you can tear yourself away
from celebrating at the Paddock
and the Nook this afternoon,
drop by the ZTA house. There
will be a campus wide Jam session in progress and the
will be on hand from
5
p.m.
The evening will be pretty
much open with the exeception of
a couple of parties so the night
is yours, with those exams over
I'm sure you can find a worthwhile activity to keep you busy.
Tonight the Kappa Sig pledges
are having their first annual Racoons Ball in honor of the actives
and their dates. The Maroons will
be playing for this more than
casual affair.
On the formal side the ADPI's
will be having their annual formal at the Imperial House. Word
has it that the group Is going all
out for the formal look this year.
Southern charm should be the by

certainly is a popular place this

With the drudgery of the week
behind us, Saturday doesn't have
a lot of planned entertainment in
store but there will be a few
things going on.
The morning .vi lli be devoted to
sleep, but come 1 p.m. the Pi Phi's
will be throwing a Jam session at
the Circle H with the Pailimcnts
playing. The whole thing will
wind up about 5 p.m. So that
should be a Jolly afternoon's fun
for all.
There will be a few theme parties floating around, if the weather keeps up that Just might be
the case. The pledges of Farm-Houwill be entertaining
the
mighty actives with a Polynesian
Paradise party at the house. The
Centaurs will be there to play
the hula music as the grass shirt
and loincloth make their first appearance of the warm weather
season.
On fraternity row there will be

a few parties In session. The
Lambda
Chi's will he havcing
something a little different. A
Karelins Hall will be the title and
the Idea Is that everyone rips a
sheet off his or her bed, should
infuriate the linen service, and
make a toga in the true Roman
stjle. The ( lassies will be playing
a few tunes from the "Caesar of
the Week Hit rarade."
The fraternity-sororit- y
spirit Is
with us in the form of a Joint
venture to Joyland. The Chi O's,
Phi Delta. KA s and KD's will be
mnking the scene together which
should provide an evening of
Greek togetherness the likes of
seen since
which we haven't
Greek Week.
Last but not least on the party
scene are the Sigma Chi's. This
happy group will be putting on
the dog with a Sweatshirt party.
Could be with all those papers
and tests this week they Just

don't have the eneruy to chanue
from study clothes to party attire.
As you trudge about in the
muck and mire we call our University be on the look out for a
cray little man who is supposed
to be building a boat somewhere
on campus. They say the book is
trying to get students to sign up
in pairs for a forty day cruise.

Human Rights Group
Needed At University

The need is evident. The rights
imd privileges of students at the University must be protected by a human
lights committee.

the execution of Hassie Cain Martin,
convicted in the slaying of Olin Alexander, a Lexington liquor store operator.

This group would provide a voice
to speak, and an agency to act, in
cases of discrimination and prejudice.

If such a committee had existed in
March, I9f3, it could have saved Student Congress the embarrassment of
not being able to arrive at a decision
concerning an Interfaith Council letter. The council was critcising restaurant operators near the campus
who were practicing discrimination

The feasibility of such a committee was borne out in the Daily Iowan,
Mudent newspaper of the State University of Iowa. A recent editorial
cited the success of SLT's Committee
on Human Rights, which was created
Jast year.

The editorial said, "Nobody really expected sweeping changes in attitudes toward discrimination, and
rone have come. Some meaningful
have been made on prejudice,
Jiowever."
It pointed out progress the Iowa
committee has made in
polities, removal of discriminatory
clauses from fraternity bylaws, education against bigotry, and reseat th into
civil lights laws.
Had such a committee existed at
UK in Febiuary, 111(32, Jerry Berosky,
a former University student, would
liave had someone to immediately and
impartially investigate his charges that
J'hi Gamma Delta fraternity excluded him because of his Jewish religion.
If such a body had existed in
1903, Edward Morin, former UK English instructor, Henry
Chapin, instructor in English, and
Robert Halfhill. a 19G3 graduate,
could have asked for organized student support in their protest against
Tc bruary,

against Negroes.
If such a committee had existed
in February, 196-1- it could have saved
Student Congress the embarrassment
of deciding that student interest in
the "march on Frankfort" was not in
its province.
If such a committee had existed, it
could have investigated reported discrimination, offered students a voice
of protest, provided an agency to act,
and constituted a group serving its
own conscience.
The campus needs a group of enlightened and dedicated members of
the (acuity, student body, and administration to serve on such a committee. It should consist of persons with
a continuing interest in the rights of
students, and who are unfettered by
petty prejudices of campus pressure
groups.
Such a committee would dedicate

Economy Drive
Hurts Students
College students may well be the
biggest losers in President Johnson's
Lattle for "economy" in government.
A few weeks ago, administration
ioiccs some of whom had originally
lavoied the bill-b- eat
down an attempt to give college students and
their patents special income tax
ions. We assume the plan was
t.uiifued to pl.uate Congiessinen demanding a lower budget when the
tax cut bill was passed.
Now, the Civil Service Commission has announced a cutback in the
luimbtr of openings for summer internships lor college students. The
program had been pushed
by the late Piesident Kennedy in the
hope of at ti ac ting moie youth to

government woik.
President Johnson changed that,
presumably in another attempt to
promote "economy" within the governmental bureaucracy. It was an
way to cut costs. The need lor
moie blight young people in the government has long been recognied,
and the administration has cm tailed
a piogiam which might have made it
possible.
I he Civil Service decision and the
deleat of the tax mini lion idea are
evidence that this administration is
showing too little concern lor youth
especially in contrast to the one
it, which devoted so much of
its attention to them.

THE

FACT THAT

MOST

DUVUAA C- -

AID Should Be Given
To American Business
.

In fiscal 1901, the Agency for
International
Development financed
in commodity pur$1,010,000,000
chases by other countries under the
U. S. foreign aid program. Only 41
percent of the dollar value of those
purchases were made in the United
States. Uncle Sam had plenty of goods
on his shelves, but in effect he was
a shopkeeper extending credit for use
in other stores. American business was
not getting much benefit.

The following year saw a slight
improvement. The share of American business and industry in commodity expenditures of 1,031,000,000 rose
to 41 percent. T he logic of spending
American dollars at home began to
assert itself in fiscal 1962, when
American suppliers got 03 percent of
AID's commodity procurement business. The following year they got
78 percent.
In the first quarter of fiscal 1901,
81 percent of AID purchases were,
made from American suppliers, an
high and more than twice the
percentage of only four years ago.
This means that 259 million worth
of business financed by the United
States out of a total of 310 million
was done with' American businessmen.
This is one aspect of foreign aid
with which no one can quarrel, and
the pity is that it took so long to
come about. In a nation where unemployment is so much of a problem
that the President must declare war
on poverty, it would seem just as important for American dollars to meet
Ameiican payrolls as to accomplish
the purposes of AID.

Kernels
There are many in this old world
of ours who hold that things bieak
about even for all of us. I have ousel ved, lor example, that we all get
the same amount of ice. The lich get
it in the summei time and the poor
Masterson
get it in the winter.-- ,',
We must have icspect for both
our plumbers and our philosopheis
or neither our pipes or our theoiies
will hold water. yom W. Gatdner

Under the new scheme of things,
the American iron and steel industry
benefited by 12 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1901; chemicals by
31 million; electrical apparatus makers by 30 million; industrial machinery manufacturers by 20 million; the
petroleum industry by 23 million;
automobile and engine manufacturers by 23 million. And so the story
goes payrolls are being met that
otherwise would not be.
It is to be regretted that in years
past billions of dollars worth of
business that could
have stimulated the U. S. economy
was lost to others, and with it the
jobs that it represented.
Washington ollicialdom running
the program should not be permitted
to forget in the future that the American economy continues to need all
the. AID it can get too.

The Wholeness Of Truth
Religious faith affirms that though
there are many dilferent truths and
fragments of knowledge, ultimately
these fit together within the framework of God's truth. This is another
way of saying that truth is not many
but one. Such a view demands an
appreciation for all approaches to
truth, whether found in the physics
lab, math class, music seminar, or
Bible study group. To despise new
insights into truth from whatever
source they may come is to despise
Cod.
The Centennial Year is an occasion for religious persons within the
University to discern the coherence
and integration of truth, the responsibility to insist upon and protect academic freedom, and the need to
sharpen up all the possible altei natives. "No one . . . can have the whole
truth and there is no one who may
a vehicle of Cod's
not become
truth" (Mobeily).

The governor noted that two
public accommodations bills were
pending before the legislature and
said, "The bill I advocate would
support both these desires (for
adequate legislation) and continue the tradition of Kentuckians doing what is right because
they want to and not because
they are forced to by others."
