By DANA EWELL
Assistant Managing Editor
The University Faculty Senate
has adopted a speaker policy
which places the responsibility
of deciding the educational relevance of a proposed speech on
the shoulders of the senate itself.
By a vote of 109 to 33, the
faculty senators passed a policy
resolution governing speakers
from
closely patterned
after the formal statement former
President John Oswald made to
the Kentucky Ceneral Assembly
last February concerning free
speech at UK.
At that time some of the legislators were concerned about a
scheduled
speech by
Herbert Aptheker
Communist
and a Kentucky Conference on
the War and the Draft, sponsored, in part, by the UK chapter
of Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS). Following Presi-

dent Oswald's statement, the legislators decided not to introduce
the speaker ban bill.
Some members of the senate,
including UK Interim President
A. D. Kirwan, argued for the
proposal on the basis that Dr.
Oswald committed the University
to his stand, outlining three spe- -

cific criteria to assure responsible freedom of discussion on campus.
As worded in the senate's
resolution:
"The University will act responsibly in inviting speakers
and expects its guests to act responsibly. Its policies require
that:
"No law or governing regulation of the University be violated by the proposed speech
or program.
"The meeting be peaceful
and orderly and in no way Interfere with the proper functioning of the University.
"The proposed speechorpro-grabe relevant to the educational mission of the University
in the providing of opportunity
for
objective evaluation and dissemination of
m

open-minde-

d,

knowledge."
It was this third point that
triggered an hour and a half
debate Monday afternoon in the
Law Building courtroom where
approximately 150 senate members and interested faculty
gathered.
J. W. Patterson, senator from
the English Department, introduced a motion that the third
point be deleted. It was Prof.
Patterson who proposed a substitute motion on speaker policy
last week. The debate over the
substitute motion, which was a
modified form of a speaker policy approved by the American
Association of University Professors (AAUP), was so lengthy that
yesterday's continuance was necessary.
Prof. Patterson said he discerned three pointsof view among
the faculty: "those who think
of the resolution as a statement
of principle; those who consider
it a piece of propaganda, a compromise between the University
and the state purporting to guarantee academic freedom; and

those who feel obligated to

sup-

port it because it was President
Oswald's policy last year."
"Either we want the right
to ban a speaker on somebody's
prejudice or we don't," said Prof.
Donald Ivey of the Music De-

partment.

Prof. Arthur Moore of the English Department sees the third
point as a safeguard against irresponsibility. "Without it, we
leave ourselves wide open to mischief and a good many things."
Prof. Moore gave several examples of what he considered
speeches with no educational relevance, two of them being "The
Art of Pickpocketing" and "How
to Incite Revolution."
Prof. Henry F. Dobyns, an
anthropologist whose special interest is South America, disagreed
with Prof. Moore on the grounds
that because Colombia has some
of the best pickpockets in the
world, he would consider such a
speech relevant to his academic
interests.

"Just what kind ol

mecha-

nism would the senate use to
decide what is relevant?" Prof.
Dobyns queried. "I think it
would be very relevant if we
could get Ho Chi Minh to speak
on how he fomented his revo-

lution."
Prof. Gene Mason of the
Political Science Department saw
no reason for keeping the third
point "unless there are some
people who are educationally
irrelevant," and he challenged
the senate to name someone who
would be irrelevant to everyone.
Referring to the last statement of the resolution ("The
University Senate shall be responsible for adopting rules for
implementing the foregoing statement of educational policy.")
Prof. Paul Oberst of the Law
College sees the policy statement,

James Joyce Visualized
'Ulysses9 Vibrates American Mind

Even When Mellowed Through Cinema
Cinema. It is probably the most
unusual and thought provoking
movie yet to appear in the United
States. "Ulysses" is an adaptation of the book written by James
Joyce which was banned from the
United States until after 1933.
It is not the type of movie
you go to for refuge from whatever ails-yIt doesn't whisk
you away to other "realities"
that were dreamed up by money-hungr- y
producers and directors.
This movie slaps a magnifying
glass on your mind and dares
you to look in the mirror. The
only reality it depicts is the real
one. "Ulysses" is as candid as
human thoughts are, vibrating
and chanting with the sound of
life, human despair, lust and longing, and hope for a better today.
Storming through the cellars of
every dark thought, it shakes
even the most stable of reservations without offending the standards of cinema artistry and re-

Then, slowly and without
even a whisper, your strip of
tree melted. Your arms became
immobile and your body became
a bridge of two worlds. The new
world of thoughts hung before
you like limp clay waiting to be
touched Finally, after your mind
had yawned and stretched and
built caricatures of reality to
parade before you in a candid
panorama of life as you saw it.
Similar departures from reality, called streams of consciousness, were the basic components
of "Ulysses," a truly unprecedented movie which is currently
appearing at the Chevy Chase

Movie Critic
Have you ever been drenched
by the rays of an early sun on
an early spring day when
nothing's about and no one's
near and everything's just a little
bit lazy?
You may have propped your
chin on bended knees and cuddled your shins with two tired
arms and all the world was that
singular strip of tree that your
depthless eyes clung to. Though
your Jtaut muscles mellowed
with each slow second of the
sun's renewed warmth, your body
remained rigid and still.

spectability.

Leopold Bloom, an Irish Jew,
played by Milo O'Shea was the
symbolic Ulysses of the title who
at different instances, imagines
himself to be pregnant and also
ruler, reformer, and general savior
of a bigoted world.

He has abstained from sexual
relations with his wife, Molly
Bloom, played by Shakespearean
actress Barbara JefTord, since
their first and only child died.
Yet, he lives willingly with the
knowledge that Molly is an adulteress.
Stephan Dedal us, played by
Maurice Roeves, was the sensitive
poet who assesses and reassesses
the field of human experience
into terms of simplicity and contradictions. He wanders symbolically a Telemachus in search of

a spiritual father, or Ulysses, who
is Bloom.
They meet when they are
drunk, just as Ulysses and Telemachus met in Homer's Odyssey
and from there establish a union
which gives Bloom the backbone
to finish his Odyssey.
The story of "Ulysses" does
not lie in the fact that the characters are doing things. It's their
thoughts and constant journeys
of introspection that makes this
film a must for the sensitive
movie-goe- r.

* The Real George
George Wallace came to Lexington Saturday and George Wallace made a speech, but George
Wallace, Independent Party Presidential nominee, didn't say anything new. Wallace managed to
offer the same old, tired
to the problems tearing at
the very core of the American system.
The students who chose to protest Wallace's appearance were orderly, almost to the extent of being
passive, and the number of arm
bands worn to show that the wearer
was not a supporter of the speaker
was encouraging, but somewhat
over shadowed by the number of
persons wearing white hats with
red and black Wallace stickers on
them. The "Hippies for Wallace"
most certainly messed the minds
of many of the former Alabama
governor's staunch supporters making the demonstration somewhat
successful. It is noteworthy that
the only disturbance during the
Alabaman's visit came when some
non-solutio- ns

of his supporters refused to let an
opponent listen to the speech, forcing the opponent to leave his scat
to avoid the heckling. What was it,
again, that George said about freedom of speech?
Despite the uneventfulness of
the day Wallace's appearance at
the University convocation did
serve one purpose. Kentuckianshad
a chance to see first hand how
rascist and demogogic the man is.
They got to hear him appeal for
e
"law and order," a new
for racial suppression, and
condemn academic activities. The
man was there and they could
see him. And they could see the
large support George Wallace has
had and is going to have with the
voters of Kentucky this fall.
Wallace's support in this state
is strong, and it is good that we
had a chance to learn it. Maybe
Kentucky really hasn't come so far
from those Civil War days; perhaps Old South weekend will come
earlier this year than usual.

Coal Facts
The promoters of the proposed
American Coal Museum in
seem intent on perpetuating a rather harmful myth which
has grown up around the mining
industry in Kentucky. This is the
myth that the mining industry is
automatically good for the people
and economic development of the
state.
Such a view ignores the times
of starvation which alternated with
the times of boom in the hollows
of the Eastern part of the state.
It ignores the bloody coal wars of
the early part of this century. It
ignores the bleak fate of those men
who were unlucky enough to be
Mid-dlesbo-

ro

seeiL

ALABAMA

Sin

caught by automation in the late
fifties and early sixties. And it
ignores the savage rape of the land
now in progress by the giant stripping machines.
To ignore these historical facts
for the sake of increased tourist
trade in Middlesboro reflects more
than a mere lack of comprehension
of the issues involved. It reflects
a basic lack of concern for the
residents of the eastern part of
our state who still live under the
awful foot of the progress of the
American coal industry. Every
scarred coal ridge in Appalachia
is a stark, if mute and unplanned,
American Coal Museum.

Kernel Forum: the readers write

To the Editor of the Kernel:
This is just one part of the never
ending story of Student Government.
Scene: some quiet courtroom
Hear ye, hear ye, this court is now in
session to hear the case of STUDENTS
vs STUDENT GOVERNMENT
JUDGE: Mr. Holward has charged
Student Government with being irrelevant
and that the forthcoming elections are
therefore immaterial to students. How
does the defendant plead, guilty or not
guilty?
DEFENDANT ( a group of suited,
button-downe- d
Greeks come forward):
Your Honor, we protest this whole action
as being superfluous and without any
bearing to the students.
JUDCE: Please, just enter your plea
of guilty or not guilty.
DEFENDANT: (in unison) Not Cuilty,
your Honor.
JUDCE: Mr. Holward, will you please
present your case.
MR. HOLWARD (a mild mannered
reporter trying to expose the
world): Your Honor and Ladies and
the Jury
WHEREAS, Student Government has
shown itself to be an ineffective organization;
WHERFAS, Student Government has
sltown itself to be an apathetic organization;
WHEREAS, Student Covemment has
sltown itself to be just a stepping
stone for all young aspirants to State
Politics;
I can not (and I am speaking for all
students) see any reason for holding Student Government elections now (September 18th) or ever.
DEFENDANT: Your Honor, I object.
While all that Mr. Holward says is true,
he fails to acknowledge that Student
Cen-tlemen-

Government is a very important part of
OUR (Greek?) life. Our history has been
filled with rich, rewarding experiences
with Student Government. Why, Creeks
and Student Government are as American as apple pie and motherhood. Besides, if 98 of the STUDENT BODY
fails to vote, is that our fault?
JUDGE: hmm, (as he scratches his
head) Mr. Holward, I don't see any
easy solutions to the charges you have
made against Student Government. Do
you have any suggestions?
Mr. Holward stares blankly off into
space contemplating a caped crusader of
long ago.
Quietly a group of plain, ordinary
students enter the courtroom.
CROUP (Students for Action and
Responsibility): Your Honor, we are SAR
candidates. We would like to do something about the problem of Student
Covemment. We are running for the student and the problems he faces in the
University.
We know the University will not allow the Complex Covemment toorganize.
We realize the dorm conditions are
deplorable.
We know the student feels apart and
alienated.
We will not fall in line and promote
the status quo.
But we need the support of every
student. Students living in the dorms,
students living
all students.
Cov. Rockefeller, Sen. McCarthy, and
the late Sen. Robert Kennedy have sltown
that students can be a necessary part,
if they care. Vote this Wednesday September 18th.
The initials SAR will proceed our

To the Editor of the Kernel:
I see where Super George has visited
our campus. This is good. It demonstrates
d
that this University is
and
tolerant, something that cannot be said
about Super George. As a matter of fact,
Super Ceorge is quite critical of university "types," many of whom seem to
give him an intellectual inferiority comd
plex. ("Those
university people look down their noses at us," he
says to cheering crowds).

long-haire-

To follow the Super Ceorge theory
to one conclusion, it would appear that
he feels that because it takes one to know
one an intellectually inferior man should
be elected President to truly represent
and lead the great mass of Americans
whom Super Ceorge feels share with him
some degree of inferiority to the intellectuals populating our universities. So Super Ceorge nominates himself.
His technique is slander by generalities. His platform is "turn loose the police" on those who wear long hair or those
who disagree with him. They must be
"Commies." He doesn't have a foreign
policy, but his police mentality, I am
sure, will lead him to try whipping the
world to his way of thinking with

To the Editor of the Kernel:
The University of Kentucky professes
to be an institution politically independent
of Frankfort. The fact that the governor
of Kentucky is by virtue of his office the
chairman of the Board of Trustees is
evidence that such independence is virtually a farce. As if the above is not
enough, the Governor, our esteemed Mr.
Nunn, was given (by whom?) the power
to "appoint" half of the members of the
Presidential Selection Committee. I ask
you, just how independent is that?
For three years at this university I
have, at the start of every year, somehow gotten involved with a group of
students desiring to take action against
such manipulation as the above describes.
(I might point out here that whether
or not Mr. Nunn's view of the university is conducive to mine is irrelevant;
the question is, why should the governor possess such power in the direct
running of the university?) This year the
group is CARSA, which is, by the way,
one of the better.
In short, dear faculty and students,
these groups are getting tired of doing
your work for you. Now is the time for
all good men to come to the aid of their
university. Or does it matter to you at
all? If by chance you might be concerned, keep your naive eyes open, maybe we'll get together.

* THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Tuesday,

Prayers Key To Success
At Growing Christ Center
By CHARLES BO WEN
Kernel Staff Writer
When the Lexington Christ
Center was founded early this
summer and its organizers were
"without money and without
hope of getting money," they resorted to living for a week on
several bushels of donated ba-

nanas.
They ate banana pies, banana
custard, banana bread and banana bananas.
Now, four months later and
their lean days becoming fewer,
the
staff of the center supports its own coffeehouse,
"The Catacombs."
There is
carpet downstairs. And,
upstairs, there is a
room filled with nothing but matnewly-installe-

wall-to-wa-

d

ll

high-ceiling-

tresses.
Prayers, say the 18 staffers,
have brought them everything
they now have including an
electrician they once needed. And
their credit for the sudden prosperity goes, they say, to every
man's kindness and concern for
fellow man.
The story began a year ago
when there was no Christ Center in Lexington, just a handful
of college students who worked
with the underprivileged people
of Irishtown (Davis Bottoms) and
other Lexington slums.
More Than Cames
These students, mostly graduates of Kentucky colleges, saw
that more Jiad to be done for
the city's underprivileged than
setting up Sunday schools and
teaching games to the children.
Out of necessity 18 college
students, led by Paul and Becky
Petries and Jim and Dixie Parker, founded the Lexington Christ
Center on Maxwell Avenue.

Recalling the beginning of
Christ Center in May 1968, Paul
Petries said, "For a while it
appeared as if we were really
helping the people without a
community center, but it is hard
for any people to revamp their
lives in a shantytown atmosphere.
"We had nothing no money,
no hope of getting any money.
We walked into the School Superintendent's office and said we
wanted to buy the old Abe Lincoln school building in Davis
Bottoms to build a community
center in the slums. He told us,

'Go away, kid."'
Then the group pleaded its
case to local churches and with
their support, and the support
of laymen in the city, they rented
the structure that used to be the
Dudley Public School building.
'A Stable Atmosphere'
The purpose of the Center,
according to Petries, is to give
the people of the slums "a stable
atmosphere in which to live."
In addition to the Center staff,
the Center is capable of housing
needy individuals or entire families on a permanent or semipermanent basis.
Petries estimated that as many
as "forty or fifty individuals"
have been housed by the Center
since its founding. In exc
