Congress Candidates Debate;
2 Platforms Appear Similar

By LINDA HORTON
Kernel Staff Writer
The candidates for the top position in Student Congress out-

lined their platforms and discussed questions raised by the
audience in a political debate
Thursday night.
As the
and the
Jones-Porttickets presented
their views, it became increasingly apparent that the platforms
were very similar, due perhaps to
the fact that the opponents recognized common problems and issues on the campus.
A third ticket, independents
Leroy Mayne and Ralph Wesley,
did not participate in the debate.
(Wesley, the candidate for vice
president, told the Kernel Thursday night that their slate had received no invitation to participate
in the debate. He said it was their
understanding that the debate
was being held for the "two
Greek slates." Wesley said he
would welcome the opportunity
to debate cither or both candidates.)
Michael Jones, presidential
candidate, identified as his main
planks the establishment of a
system of voluntary academic
counseling for freshmen by
a renewed effort to attract Kentucky's top high school
seniors, and stronger support for
the town housing council, in
which the Student Congress
would assist in locating housing
accommodations for both married
and single students and in approving student rooms.
Winston Miller, asserting the
need for reorganization in order
to overcome the apathy and ineffectiveness apparent in the Congress, proceeded to outline the
main points of his presidential
platform.
Principal planks include the
establishment of a judiciary
branch, including "due process"
procedures, statement of a disciplinary code, and establishment
of a principal appellate body.
Miller advocated academic free

Special to the Kentucky Kernel
ASHLAND "We must not
dwell on the past. We must realize that the next 10 years will be
of greater importance than the

be greater, but so will the dangers."
These were the words of C.
Robert Yeager, president of the
L. G. Balfour Co., and a 1933
alumnus of the University, as he
spoke before an Ashland Community College Centennial Convocation audience Thursday. The
convocation was the highlight of

board to review disputed grades,
establishment of a student committee to evaluate faculty and
curriculum, and an increase in
University affairs.
The vice presidential candidates, Carson Porter and John
O'Brien, then endorsed their respective platforms. Porter spoke
of the similarity of the two statements, but identified as a point
of dispute the student insurance
plan.

Porter said he felt this program should continue to be completely voluntary, while Miller
and O'Brien maintained that the
University has the responsibility
to insist that all students be covered by some form of insurance,
whether in a policy, obtained
through the University or independently by the student or his
family.

150 Demonstrate As Spring Fever Hits

By JOHN ZEH
Kernel Staff Writer
Spring fever hit a peak on
campus Thursday night as some
150 students demonstrated against
eviction from the dormitory,
studying, hot weather, and anything else that came to mind.
"What we're protesting nobody knows," one student commented.
Several students offered as an
excuse the eviction order of several students in Haggin Hall.
Others said they were out "just
for the hell of it."
At around 8 p.m. Thursday
night, an estimated 100 students
gathered in the courtyard of Haggin Hall, shouting and chanting.
From there they reportedly
marched to Rose Street in front
of the women's quadrangle and
sat in the street, disrupting the
flow of traffic.
They got up, however, when
traffic started getting congested
and ran back and forth across
the street.
According to campus police

reports, officers "observed some
students" for about 40 minutes and then left. Lexington
police had called and were
"standing by," the report said.
Most of the group began to
disperse as around 15 students
retired to the lawn just outside
the Maxwell place grounds.
Several of the students mockingly sang "We Shall Overcome,"
one student said.
From there they walked back
to Haggin Hall where they started passing the word that another
"protest" would be held at midnight.
Whispers of "riot" spread
through the dorms. The counseling staff was alerted; counselors
on duty were requested to remain
on the job after the usual 11 p.m.
end of duty.
Shortly after midnight, students began gathering in the
courtyard of the Haggin quadrangle, standing around the edge
of the enclosed area and on the
steps.
A group of about seven stu

dents walked to the center of the
courtyard, receiving cheers. Others joined them.
One was hit on the head by a
water balloon thrown from a
fourth-storwindow and the
crowd started shouting.
All this time, director of men's
residence halls Joseph Burch
mingled with the group trying to
discourage any demonstration.
After conferring among themselves, leaders of the group decided to walk to Donovan Hall
in hope of arousing more sympathizers.
"Co home and study," several shouted from the windows
of Donovan.
Others came outside and joined the group. Mr. Burch again
talked with some of the students,
inviting them to his office to discuss the situation further.
The crowd finally began to
disperse when a dormitory counselor threatened that photographs

New Opportunities
Continued from rage 1
"in the great capacity that is inherent in all of us to make the
adjustments necessary."
He questioned whether Americans will pool their latent energies to fight the challenges of
ignorance, poverty, corruption,
and the internal subversion of our
national heritage.
Mr. Yeauer affirmed his belief
that, "our generations yours
and mine have enormous capacity to meet personal as well as
social problems," and added
"You and must have confidence
that this is so or we will not be
able to meet tomorrow."
Urging the audience not to lay
aside either patriotism or reverence, he said, "Let us never forget that a nation is only as strong
and only as great as the character, the integrity, and ideals and
vision of its people."
Following Mr. Yeager's address, President Oswald presented a Centennial medallion to

* An Endorsement:
Miller And O'Brien
arc presently witnessing the
emergence of a new governmental
form on campus. It is a time of
transition. And the moment makes
certain demands upon the student
body not the least of which is
adequate leadership.
As we enter, hopefully, a new
and productive era in student government, the success or failure of
the venture will depend on the quality of those who lead.
With this in mind, the Kernel
endorses the candidacy of Winston
Miller for president and John
O'Brien this year. Both have been
faithful to the responsibility inherent in their positions as members of Student Congress.
Miller is posses of the agres-siv- e
personality required of one who
would occupy the seat of student
governmental power. This, in combination with seasoned judgment,
qualifies him well to serve well.
More importantly, he has demonstrated this year a comprehensive sympathy. He has been, in the
finest sense, a representative of all
students. His concern encompasses
not simply his fellow Greeks, but
also that quiet majority of independents whom we would hope
will support him.
He is sufficiently experienced in
a wide variety of organizational
work to understand the nuances of
campus government. This insight,
born of experience, will serve him
well as president.
Although membership in hono-rarishould not be accepted as
proof positive that he is intellectually equipped to serve as spokesman for this campus, it at the very
least indicates strongly that he is
capable. Our personal observation
of him also leads us to believe that
he is, intellectually, a sound investment.
As a counselor in the men's
residence halls, he has been confronted with the problems of the
young and the uninitiated. As a
working member of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon and the Interfraternity
Council he has sen first hand the
problems of the seasoned and the
affiliated.
All in all, Winston Miller is the
sort of person best suited to guide
student government on this campus. He is qualified in terms of intellect, experience, and personality.
And, most important of all, his
sympathy, we think, is in the right
placewith his fellow students.
We

have chosen to support
Miller's running mate for similar
reasons, but with a different emphasis.
O'Brien is widely experienced
in organizational work; he is a
highly perceptive person; he is motivated toward governmental progress on campus. But, most important of all, he is a unique combination of integrity and compassion.
As a member of Student Congress he has proved a creative legislator. He has remained, throughout
this year, dedicated to proposition
that student government can serve
its constituents.
As a member of the YWCA
leadership, he has familiarized himself with all aspects of campus life.
He is well known to independents.
He is himself a Greek, a member of Delta Tau Delta, and as such
is aware of the innerworkings of
the Greek system.
But more than all this, he is perhaps more dedicated to serving his
fellow students, and the society iiv
which he lives, than any student
leader we can think of.
O'Brien has selflessly devoted
himself to such projects as the
YMCA tutoring program and made
them work. He has worked quietly,
with no thought to publicity for
himself, in order to accomplish
something he was convinced should
be accomplished.

JOHN O'BRIEN

There is something eloquent in
the innumerable hours he has given
and given willingly.
O'Brien bears witness to the
awakening of youth the awakening to youth's challenge and responsibility.
Together, Miller and O'Brien
represent some of the finest qualities young men, and campus leaders, can possess.
We vigorously support them,
and we invite the student body as
a whole to voice their confidence in
them at the ballot box.
We urge, however, that the student body not accept our judgments
without reflection. We urge that
students be aware of the issues,
and that they survey the qualifications of all six candidates. Then,
drawing their own conclusions,
they will be able to vote intelligently.
Whether students' conclusions
coincide with ours, or whether they
differ, we would hope those conclusions coincide with our, or whether
differ, we would hope those
conclusions are expressed in the
voting booths Tuesday.

v"'

The Dirksen Amendment
While the Legislatures in New
York and other states struggle to
work out the consequences of the

Supreme Court's reapportionment
decision Sen. Everett Dirksen has
been quietly pushing a constitutional amendment that would effectively reverse that decision.
The ostensible purpose of the
amendment is to permit states to
apportion one house of a bicameral
legislature on a basis other than
population. This is a legitimate objective, if achieved with careful
safeguards.
But as presently drafted, the
Dirksen amendment has three bad
features: It declares that "the right
and power to determine the composition of the legislature of a state
and the reapportionment of the
membership thereof shall remain
in the people of that state." Embedded in the Constitution, this
language could be interpreted to
mean that the courts had no right
to review the fairness or constitutionality of any apportionment.
Secondly, the amendment would
permit a state with a unicameral
legislature to apportion it on factors
other than population, thereby endangering the principle of majority
control on a straight population
basis. Apportionment based on other factors should at most be a qualified and partial exception to the
principle of one man, one vote. If

a state has only one legislative
chamber, as Nebraska now does,

that chamber ought to be

appor-

tioned according to population.
The most serious defect in the
Dirksen amendment is that it permits apportionment on a nonpopu-latio- n
basis in perpetuity if such a
course has once been approved by
referendum. But what if the majority in the future changes its nind
on this issue? Any amendment on
this subject should require the
states to reapportion every ten years
and require a referendum each time,
to make certain that a majority still
favors apportioning one house on a
basis other than population. Otherwise, the outrageous malapportionments that the Supreme Court finally intervened to correct could
grow up all over again.
Mr. Dirksen has apparently resorted to one of his favorite legislative stratagems. By putting forward
the worst possible proposal, he is
in a position to make concessions
to his opponents and eventually
arrange a compromise on terms
favorable to himself. The Senate
Subcommittee on Constitutional
Amendments plans to hold further
public hearings on his proposal.
Meanwhile, the more than 30
from both parties in the
Senate take another look at the
proposition to which they have
lent their names.

America: The Imase Of Two Modern Gods

THE WRITER'S NOTE: If a
man sees a mote in other's eye in
spite of a beam in his own, this is
only a biological misfortune. For
the eye is made to see outside
objects, not his own face. Endowed with a normal vision, I
have found more faults witli
Americans than they actually deserve. As a token of my gratitude
to the wonderfully tolerant
reader, I reprint the following
an article I wrote for The Asian
Student two years ago. This is
my honest evaluation of The
American, and with this I now
bid the reader a gentle farewell.
On the eve of my departure to
America a friend told me that 1
would see in America the truest
image of two modern gods
Machine and Mammon. Entering
Honolulu, I found America was
gods country.
I still remember vividly with
what curiosity and thrills I watched a man perform a land of
alchemy by transforming a coin
in a machine into a cup of orange
juice. 1 felt so intrigued that I
spent a dime on the machine at
every airport from Los Angeles
to Cincinnati, and drank bubbling beverage with a bubbling
heart. My eyes have been fed
with all kinds of mechanical
wonders since, and I no longer
care to watch television unless
I want to learn bad English.
At that time, however, 1 wrote
down in my memorandum: "a
washing machine the best gift
to my future wife."
The next thing that defied
my imagination was the fabulous wealth of America. When I
saw hundreds of beautiful cars
parked just outside the International Airport, Los Angeles, I
wondered, not knowing to whom
the cars belonged, why on earth
an automobile factory should be
built at that inconvenient spot.
It took only a week for me to
learn that America was literally
a country flowing with milk and
honey. To me, a poor farmer's
son in Korea, Cod had always
appeared in the form of rice, and
yet American pets are fed with
meats and balanced diet! Cod
is so unfair to allow Koreans
to pass through the wilderness
without showing them the promised landL
These were some of my earlier impressions and reflections.
As years passed by, however,
1
began looking at the American
scene with more sophisticated
eyes.

The American is
pragmatic. The proof of the
pudding is in the eatingthis
simple philosophy haunts his
mind constantly like a nursery
rhyme. A college professor repairing a sink or a big girl wearing blue jeans is pragmatism in
action. Anyway, the pragmatism
is the top item I wish to import
into my country, where the idle
philosophical dispute of "striking the air with a rod of smoke"
is a vogue among many intellectuals.
The American is kind and
hospitable. A week or so after I
had come to the United States

PIZZA

I caught rheumatic fever and
was hospitalized.
I had no
friends. But food, magazines, and
flowers poured into my room, and
a number of strangers visited me.
There was even a minister opening the gate of heaven for me
without my consent. I was suspicious of the
