Examining Trial Scheduled
For Students In Marijuana Case

By TERENCE HUNT
Kernel Executive Editor
Three University students
who were arrested Sunday on
charges of possessing marijuana
waived formal arraignment today
in Lexington Police Court.
Police Judge Walter Tackett
set Nov. 14 as the date for an
examining trial for the three.
They were expected to be released on bond this afternoon.
A brief incident followed the
hearing when Roger Sledd, a
Lexington attorney representing
the students, asked Judge Tackett to prevent a Lexington newsman from taking pictures of the
students.
The judge said he was uncertain if he could issue such
an order and he did not.
Lexington Police Chief E. C.
Hale said that the arrests were
not connected with the current
investigation of the use of hallucinogens by UK students. That
investigation is being conducted
by Lexington Police and federal
Food and Drug officials, he said,
and no arrests have resulted.
Two of the students arrested,
both males, were held overnight
by police. They were Jay
22, of 251 E. Third

Street, a senior education major
from Elizabethtown, and, Michael Sweeney, 26, of Briar Hill
Road, a graduate student and
assistant from Anaheim, Calif.

A coed, Diana Gawen, 20,
of 251 E. Third Street, a senior
education major from West Virginia, was released to Dean of
Women Doris Seward about five
hours after her arrest. Her bond
had been set at $500, but she
was released without payment
by authority of Judge Pro Tern
Leslie Morris.

Sweeney had been charged
with two counts of possession
of marijuana and his bond was
set at a total of 1,500. Bond for
DeChesere, charged with one
count, was $1,000.
The three students were
charged with possessing the drug
last Aug. 5. Asked about delay
in arrests, Lexington Police Chief
E. C. Hale would only say the
arrests were made within the
statutes of limitation.
Hale said today the three
arrests resulted from a "separate
investigation" instigated two
months ago by city and state
officials. This investigation resulted from "rumors and whis- -

the present football stadium and added that
the Board would probably take no further
action on the matter.
Ezelle told the Kernel in a telephone
interview Monday that the University should
not be considering spending "five or six
million dollars to move the stadium when
ve don't have adequate dormitory space
for students."
One of the Board's most colorful and
outspoken Trustees, Ezelle cited the expense of a "tremendous wrecking job" to
remove the present stadium and the cost
of building a new structure to be used
"five or six times a year" as reasons for
retaining lite present stadium.
Explaining that he had studied properties surrounding the University, Ezelle said
there is plenty of property east of the Uni

versity where proposed academic buildings
could be placed just as well as on the
stadium site.
He added that if the stadium is razed,
"I think the Coliseum will be next. I'm
opposing to move either."
"When I made a study of other available areas, transportation, available property
in the UK area together with the fact that
our housing problems are not yet solved,
it's rather embarrassing to put students in
motels and consider spending six million
dollars on a stadium;" he reiterated.
Approximately 750 female students had
to be housed in Lexington hotels and motels
and the Medical Center when new dormitories were not completed on schedule this
semester.
Ezelle quipped that this is no longer
a problem since the University simply bought
the motels. (The executive committee of the

board approved Friday plans for buying
the Center and Town House motels.)
"There's still the question of how you're
going to get all these freshmen and sophomores out there (if the stadium is moved
to the Coldstream site)."
"The stadium is primarily there for the
students and the freshmen and sophomores
that can't have cars. It's something to consider," he added.
Regarding the traffic problems around
the stadium, Ezelle stated he "believes"
the city can handle the traffic better than
it could be handled out on the highway.
Asked if he felt the Board would allow
the stadium issue to die down, he said, "I
suppose we would forget about building
the stadium out there. Frankly think it's

said.

The warrants for arrest were
signed by Richard Weissenger,
a state police investigator. Weissenger is the same agent who,
with Lexington Police help,
charged about 12 people in Lexington on narcotic charges this
summer, Hale said. Noneof these
were UK students.
University officials have declined comment on the arrests.
Asked why the male students
were not released to his office,
and if they would be represented
by University counsel. Dean of
Men Jack Hall said "I am not
in a position to comment."
Dr. Glenwood Creech, who
made the first University "policy
statement" concerning a dnig
investigation, said, "I have no
comment on it. When we have
something to say, we'll say it."

Agent Found
Limited Use
Of Drugs
If

hallucinogenic drugs are
being used on the campus, it
is being done only by a very
small minority, an agent for the
U.S. Bureau of Drug Abuse Control said here this weekend.
Lawrence Strickler, who spent
part of last week here investigating reports of mescaline and
LSD use on campus, said that
he was "sure LSD or mescaline
would find a market at the University."
But, he added, "so far, all
we have is an investigation into
some allegations."
"1 must say I was amazed
by the lack of the use of hallucinogenic drugs at Kentucky,"
he said. "1 don't believe there
is any great usage there. But
I don't know if there are
going
to be any arrests."
Strickler said it would

There had been reports that
some students had contacts as

they were supplving some UK

Ail Intolerable Situation
Charges and criticism have been
made that the University Faculty
Senate is not only uninformed but
never organized to do its business.
These attacks are not made by
outsiders or fringe members of the
Senate: they come from men who
are now leaders and who have
been faculty leaders, some of them
for more than 25 years.
Essentially, what these faculty
members say is that the Senate
has failed roughly for a quarter
century to become the hotbed of
debate and discussion on educational issues and policy that its
position in the University demands.
Blame though at this point of
little real importance can be
n
sources:
traced to a
ineffectual Senate organization,
lack of emphasis on academic issues, administrative pressure, an
overall atmosphere of
and on and on. But the real reason-n- ot
the blame must and does return to the laps of the University's entire faculty where the rehalf-doze-

non-deba-

te

sponsibility for hard deliberation
and open confrontation of ideas
has been left to a scattered handful.

The situation and the attitude
are both intolerable.
They are intolerable to any student who has come to the University for an education; intolerable to any faculty member who
has instilled in himself any love
or conception of an academic com- -

munity. And at this point, intolerable, indeed impossible, to be
maintained at a University which
has set its goal within the front
ranks of American education.
There are those who will write

off such criticism as raucous protests from inexperienced and misty-eye- d
idealists. But fact will not
bear them out. Realization, if not
criticism, has come from all corners.
And if the academic dream behind
the criticism is unsubstantial and
misty, then in fact is the goal of
a great university in Kentucky fu-

tile and without foundation.
Acting Law Dean Paul Oberst
and others of the faculty have,
spoken of an attitude of compromise among Southern universities,
as one man put it, a "let's keep
everything pleasant" outlook. If
the attitude does exist as one AAUP
writer claims and as some UK
faculty also claim, then it is high
time the University left the fold
of this Southern flock.
A belief in hearty dialogue,
furious debate, and vigorous confrontations of conflicting ideas and
viewpoints is, as we have stated
before, the essence of a University. Absence of this dialogue will
pull down a university be it great
or treading after the great. We
have seen what happened once
before when the right of academic
dialogue was snapped away and

Letters To The Editor

Incredible Bells
To the Editor of tlie Kernel:
Does it not seem incredible
that in an age of such refined
technology the class bells at the
University functon only sporadically; ring, if at all, on the summer
schedule for a few weeks each
fall; and cease operating entirely
every time it rains?
Thomas G. Roberts
Associate Professor ;
Geology Department

Sensible Coverage
The President's Advisory Committee on Building and Campus Development has asked me to extend
our thanks to the staff of the Kernel for your generous and sensible
coverage of Planning Week.
We were all especially pleased
and grateful for the important play
you gave to the stories on Planning
Week and for your more than generous follow up coverage.
Once again our thanks and appreciation.

Not The First
would like to inform the author
of the article on the ZTA "Dad's
Weekend" (Oct. 13) that the Zeta's
are not the first sorority on campus
to initiate this type of program.
The week-en- d
of Oct. 8th, Alpha
Gamma Delta entertained their
fathers for the seventh year in a
row. The girls moved out of the
house on Saturday. The fathers
arrived in the afternoon, were entertained at a buffet before going to
I

the game and were honored at a
reception afterward.
They were served a country
breakfast Sunday morning and went
home full and happy.

Whistle It
It is not the purpose of this
letter to engage in scholarly discourse. It is rather to be taken
as a heuristic device . . . or didactic, as it were. It is to suggest the following empirical assessment for the consideration of your
readers: "B. Washburn is a 'DumB. Washburn is a 'Dumdum,
dum,'" "B. Washburn is alDum-dum

. . . Say it over to yourself a few times, think about it,
whistle it in the shower . . . Well?

a change may be occurring today.
The college students from the
twilight of the Eisenhower years
through the New Frontier on
up to about 1965 were very much
the children of Kennedy. Regardless of their particular philosophical orientation, they sought
improvement in man's condition
through governmental change
and public action.
Naturally, the bulk of students never became massively
