Students Smoldering Over Police
Search At Saturday's LKD Races
By JOHN ZEH
Kernel Associate Editor

Campus police and Little Kenofficials
have
tucky Derby
blamed "a lack of communication" for any misunderstandings
over the ban on drinking at the
Saturday afternoon bicycle races.
An LKD spokesman said the
committee thought
steering
drinking would be condoned as
long as there were no open displays or abuses.
Police say there should be no
reason to believe the law that
prohibits drinking on public
property would not be enforced.
At issue is the manner in
which officers set about enforcing the state statute.
Campus police said they asked
LKD fans as they entered the
Sports Center track to submit
voluntarily to a search for alcoholic beverages. Purses and
coolers were opened, blankets,
and even a trombone case, were
checked. Shirts were raised to
disclose back pocket bulges.
Everyone cooperated, both in
allowing the searches and in
then taking the booze back to
cars or leaving it at the gate,
according to Fred Dempsey, director of Safety and Security at
the University.
Mr. Dempsey stressed that
voluntary cooperation was involved saying that no one was
forced to submit to a search.
Police have the right to require
search without a warrant if there
is reasonable suspicion a felony
has been committed. Some students, however, say they were
not asked first.
"We were pretty upset" with

the police action, commented
Tom Derr, assistant to the LKD
committee. "We told people it
would be the same as last year."
He said there was no prior communication with the police.
Over the past few years, the
LKD weekends' reputation has
been a big drunk, with little or
no supervision. Last year, UK
officials saw to it that several
campus and state police were
on hand, but the officers let
students get by with drinking as
long as there was no open, crude
misbehavior.
What's going to be done and
what's not ought to be made
clear, Derr said. He conceded
that the school has the legal
right to enforce the law, but
said it also has the responsibility to be sure everyone is
informed about action that will

Meanwhile, Secretary of State
Dean Rusk said in Washington
Sunday that the "communist apparatus" was working hard in
r
demonsupport of the
strations in the United States.
But the Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr., one of the leaders of
a massive peace march in New
York Saturday, said that communists were playing no signir
ficant part in the
movement.
Both appeared on television
interview programs, Rusk on
NBC's "Meet the Press," and
King on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Mr. Rusk said he was concerned that the North Vietnamese authorities might misunderstand the American demonstrations "and the net effect of these
demonstrations will be to prolong the war and not shorten

be taken. "The administration
put us on the spot." LKD sponsors are seeking a definition of
policy from the Dean of Students' office.
Police checked for possession
of liquor as a means to insure
that the law, which prohibits
drinking in public places, would
not be violated, thus preventing
embarrassment and a lot of
"noise," Mr. Dempsey said.
The statute does not specifically prohibit mere possession.
It is generally agreed. that university property, which is owned
by the state, is public.

If a student had declined
mission for the check, he probably

would have been refused admission by the event's sponsors
and student officials, who were
also at the gate, he added.
There was no misbehavior at
all this year, both Derr and Mr.
Dempsey agreed.
But "it could have gotten
awful nasty" if people had been
let in with bottles and police
started asking them to leave, Mr.
Dempsey said.

However, several
sorority
housemothers said that they were
afraid the grade point averages
would go down because of the
new system.

One housemother said,

"I

don't think that the coeds should
be allowed to stay out so late

to learn and I don't think they
should be out playing on school

nights."

Another added to this feeling
saying that she wouldn't let her

Tht new system, being tried
in the sorority houses and Keene-lanComplex 7 and 8, allows
sophomores as well as juniors

Another point made by a dorm
housemother was keeping the
whole hall up later. "When one
woman comes in she talks to her
roommate who wakes up another
girl . . . the whole hall just takes
longer to settle down."
The question of whether the

Ivy Schools Move Toward 'Student Diversity'
By WILLIAM BORDERS
New

Trk

TUnca Naws Barrio

NEW HAVEN-T- he
Ivy League colleges
are moving swiftly away from geographical
distribution as a major standard in admission.

With something that they call "student
diversity" as the new criterion; the eight
Ivy League colleges are enrolling more Jews,
rejecting more preparatory school students,
and tending to ignore the postmark on the
application.
Saturday, when the schools sent out their
12,354 highly prized letters of acceptance,
one undoubtedly, went to the archetypal
Episcopalian from Greenwich, Conn, and
another to the farmer's son from Montana,
for balance.
But increasingly, letters also are going to
the promising Negro from Newark and to
the public high school student from the
Bronx and the areas relatively close to the
Ivy

league schools.
"Of course, we still send our recruiting

people to
places like Nevada,
but there's really as much diversity intaking

Harlem, Park Avenue, and Queens," said R.
Inslee Clark Jr., the dean of admissions at

Yale.
According to Mr. Clark, Yale has almost
completely abandoned the goal of geographical distribution, which most Ivy League
colleges were pursuing a decade ago to insure their status as national universities.
To broaden the character of the student
body, special consideration was given to an
applicant from a remote state like North
Dakota or Mississippi, and the system tended
todiscrminate against the big Eastern cities,
particularly, New York.
Since Metropolitan New York is the home
of 40 percent of the nation's 5.6millionJews,
the move away from the system is cited as
a possible reason why Jewish enrollment
in some Ivy League schools has increased
sharply.
At Yale, the percentage of Jewish undergraduates has doublet! in the past decade.

"I got into the class of 1950 at Harvard
because I was from Idaho," said Fred L.
Climp, Harvard's dean of admissions, "anil

now I run a policy that's really the reverse
of the one I benefitted from."
It was in the 1930's that Harvard decided to start giving an edge to applicants
from outside the East, Mr. Climp explained. At the time, 75 percent of its
undergraduates were from New York and
New England.
Twenty years later, with the percentage
from New York and New England nearly
cut in half, "we suddenly said: 'Wait a
minute maybe we're neglecting our own
back yard,' so we're pulling back on this
geographical distribution thing," he said.
Deans at the Ivy League colleges also
cite the mobility of modern Americans as a
reason for paying less attention to where
they live.
Although most of the Ivy League colleges still give some slight preference to
applications from states or regions that
seem underrepresented, background is often
more important. As John T. Osander, Princeton admissions director, said:
"It's not the place they're from, really,
but rather some sense of a different

Mr. McClay said the universities themselves usually- take
over the actual running of such
projects as a Student Medical
Center after the WUS helps pro-idc funds to build it.
The WUS began originally as
an effort to help the European
students who were uprooted after
World War I.
Now its services are offered
wherever students have needs
which are not being met from
other services.
WUS field representatives,
such as Mr. McClay travel from
university to university, telling

these World University Service
projects.
WUS approaches only students for funds and the amount
of contributions is relatively large.
At Florida, for example, student
groups donated $2,000 last year.
Only $15 was raised at the University, however, and that was
given by the United Christian
Fellowship.
Student groups here are being
contacted now and any student
leader interested in hearing more
about WUS may call the Presbyterian Center. A film is available which explains the organization.
The money contributed will be
deposited to the YMCA account
so that one check may be sent
from all University groups, according to Don Pratt, one of the
drive's organizers.
The fund raisers are planning

array of gifts from foreign countries. It will be from 1 to 5 p.m.

out the world."
William McClay, a WUS field
who
recently
representative
visited here, gave that explanation and added, "We want to
help students."
The WUS does this by establishing an "International
Fund" in Geneva. The money
from this fund is used to help
students all over the world get
through their college years: by
providing transportation, cafeterias, text books, student hotels,

or even a "pair of eyeglasses for a
student in Hong King."
This is not some kind of government welfare organization. It
is an organization in which students help other students help
themselves.

The desire for diversity has
also brought a sharp decline
in the number of Ivy League
students from the Eastern preparatory schools. For example,
60 percent of the present Yale
freshmen are from public high

schools, compared with 40 percent 10 years ago.
St. Paul's School, one of the
most select preparatory schools
in the country, sent 35 percent
of its graduates to Yale, Harvard, and Princeton last year,
about half the number it was
sending 15 years ago.
The change in what the Ivy
League is looking for is also
reflected in the recruiting effort,
which the colleges are vastly
intensifying, despite their contention that they could fill their
dormitories w ith bright men even
if they did not solicit a single
application.
The admissions deans have
established elaborate alumni reporting systems in which graduates scout for this Alma Mater
in their home towns.
This year there were 45,501
applications for the 7,688 places
in the freshman class at the
eight colleges.

More than 20 percent of the

are Jewish. Ten years ago the
figure was 10 percent.

Like other Ivy League schools,
Yale has said over the years
that it never had any religious
quotas, although the number of
Jews in each class in the late
1950's "tended to be between
103 and 109," according to Rabbi Richard J. Israel, the Jewish

chaplain.
about 40 percent of the
undergraduates at Columbia and
the University of Pennsylvania
are Jewish. The figure is thought
to be between 20 and 25 percent
at Yale, Harvard, and Cornell,

Discouraging An Educator
When Dr. Neil Eddington, assistant professor of anthropology,
came to UK last fall from Berkeley, he probably expected to remain as anonymous as would any
educator beginning his first year
of service here. Both fortunately
and unfortunately for the University, this has not been the case.
Now, it seems, virtually every member of the University community
has some opinion, although perhaps not a particularly enlightened
one, about Dr. Eddington.
Dr. Eddington has taken the
brunt of a lot of nonsense at UK.
He has been discredited by the
Administration and by the student
body. The American Association
of University Professors has informed him that his academic
freedom has been violated, yet
the President's Committee on
Tenure and Privilege has drug its
feet. It now seems possible that
the AAUP may take some action
against the University unless the
Administration quickly rights the
wrong it has committed against
Dr. Eddington by refusing to renew his contract.

pology course, and, more recently
from the assistant professor's expression of his views on civil rights
and the military science program,
came Wednesday as his automobile and home were struck by eggs
and rocks.
Such action comes from unmanly students such as those who
mouthed pointless venom at the
"Bitch In," and is hardly representative of the student body. But
the fact remains that students have
subjected an educator to unpardonable insults and this reflects
badly on the student body in general.
Dr. Eddington, moving rapidly
along his controversial course, has
made some errors of his own, such
as reading a private letter from
AAUP at the "Bitch In" because
he was angry and did not act
rationally. But Dr. Eddington is
man enough to get involved in the
guts of social issues. The University needs his innovative spirit,
but because of indecisive admind
stuistrators and
will soon no longer have
dents,
the products of his ideas.
We should feel ashamed.
