Julian Bond, a member of the Georgia Loyalist Delegation at this year's Democratic National Convention and one of the founders of the Student Coordinating Committee, captivated a crowd of about 1,000 last night in the Grand Ballroom of the Non-Viole- nt Student Center. Bond was given a standing ovation three times: when he first appeared, when he started to speak and when he had finished. In a quiet scholarly tone, Bond quipped with the responsive audience for about 15 minutes, revealing a quick wit and gift for storytelling. Reading poems, even reciting the verses of a song, Bond explained that he had found a need to entertain as well as educate his college audiences. The Bond spoke of a "new coalition" between black and white liberals. "This new coalition must replace the old coalition of big city bosses," he said. "The old coalition won in Chicago but, in victory, insured its defeat by clubbing those who could have preserved it." He then warned, "The new coalition is possible only if it is possible to meet Blacks with honesty and not use them just for their votes." He then added that the coalition must "demand and get an end to imperialism" Speaking on student activism and the demands of youth. Bond said, " 'No is no answer.

Bond then turned his remarks to the problems black Americans face. "What is so frustrating to black Americans is that white Americans think things are getting better. The Whites ask 'What more can they want?' The Blacks answer, 'Being able to go to a restaurant or movie is irrelevant when we have to vote for the likes of Strom Thurmond or George and Lurleen Wallace." Bond criticized the overcrowded conditions and lack of jobs among Blacks and threw a few barbs at wars "for American domination." He said Blacks are "the poor in a society made for the rich. We must seek in 1968 the way to keep the American dream from becoming our concedes Power nightmare. nothing without a demand. Our burden is to continue to struggle, continue to agitate." Bond defined black power as "black ability to influence people, even against their will" and criticised thosw who fear black power. "John Kennedy was elected to Congress because the Irish people of Boston exercised Irish Power. When we do it, it is racism. There is nothing wrong with it. It is good for the Irish, Italians and Polish and it is good for us, too." Referring to next week's election, Bond said, "America has a trinity of candidates; A hillbilly Hitler whose running mate is a tin soldier, while the other two men are tied hopelessly to war." Bond said that prior to the convention, "America had two candidates to argue about. One was silenced by assassination, the other by democracy."

A meeting of the UK Athletics Board has been called by Interim President A. D. Kirwan for Tuesday. A screening committee will then be selected to name a successor to Charlie Bradshaw, who announced his resignation as head football coach Tuesday. "We hope we don't encounter the same problem that occurred when trying to select an athletic director," said Dr. Kirwan. He said he would like to see a candidate recommended to the Athletics Board by the end of November. By News Analysis Kirwan pointed out one big difference in the selection of an athletic director and that of a football coach. "The Board of Trustees has to approve the athletic director, but the football coach will be recommended to the Athletics Board, and won't have to be voted on by the Board of Trustees." The problem that arose in the situation of finding an athletic director is therefore not as likely to occur in this situation. The atlJetic director is paid by the University. All didn't give Coach (Bradshaw) much help. After all, a lot of these administrative officials have been apart of a lot of football losers. But they stay and we go." Basketball Sellout Another reason cited for the problems the football Basketball games are already sellouts, and each year program encountered is the pay scale for coaches. some season ticket holders are denied tickets because of "Charlie hasn't been able to keep top assistants," said the increasing number of students attending games. one coach.

The hex was directed at OZIQ, one of the groups circulating petitions. The rite was performed on the meridian of Transylvania Park, across from the headquarters of OZIQ. Accompanied by the steady beat from a tattered bass drumi and punctured by the din emanating from a makeshift gong, the curse was chanted by one of the students over a drone uttered by the other participants. The hex was as follows: anti-Kern- el rmTl frmn4 Oar firctnc, uIbch, alienee fer eternal temuUii and wandering la the "W command deierte ef fire The pile ef hell te reeelT tlmereas nameless ttils year fry Ai endemnatlen berata a nameless eendemnailen, yean te taffer ae terribly, the eater limit ef the eoamee will hear year atenlilnf shrieks and smell the stench ef year patrid, brelllnf flesh O Astarte!

As the casting of the hex neared the end, the chanting approached a crescendo, and the students erupted into screams. A frenzied circular dance followed, with more noise from the drum and gong. The spectacle attracted stares from occupants of nearby residences and some hoots of derision, including one cry of, "Chicago, Rah!" The ritual broke up and the participants dispersed only moments before three patrol cars and one paddy wagon arrived on the scene. As the patrolmen slowly circled the area, they found a portion of the group reassembled on the front porch of one of the houses immersed in the soft singing of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." One of the participants was asked the anticipated result of the rite. He replied, "I have no idea I don't try to outguess the devil." He said the text of the ritual was supplied by Apocalypsius, conductor of the Master Chapel of the Metropolitan Church of the Art of Fury. Copies of the curse were distributed to the doorsteps of "selected" fraternities and sororities, he said. Among the ritual participants were 13 who came directly from a Free University seminar on black magic. Appropriate Setting The black magic session was existence of the latter was substantiated somewhat by photographic documentation. Levitation Possible Graham Watkins, a graduate student, speculated on the possibility of levitation of objects by microwave manipulations. Although this feat is almost inconceivably complex, it would be the first step in invalidating all laws of physics and, "in effect, loosing magic upon the world." Given this first step, Watkins said, "nothing is conducted in a darkened room illuminated only by the light of two candles and a single jack o lantern. A stylized pentagraph was hung on a wall especially for the occasion. A mottled-gra-y cat of monumental proportions provided eerie background effects with piercing howls. Darrell Harrison, a student and dabbler in sorcery, led the black magic discussion. Harrison said the basic tenet of magic is oneness of the universe, with each individual's being a microcosm of the universe. He described the practice of black magic as the magician's mastery of his personal universe and the projection of this mastery to the macrocosm, of which he is a part. Harrison provided examples of the practice of black magic through the ages in explaining various principles. One of the primary functions of sorcery and black magic, he said, is to conjure demons for not undubious purposes. The demons called to appear can range from Hecate, whom Harrison described as "the boss witch," to one which allegedly appeared in a Welsh graveyard and which was described as tall with the head of a bull on a "vile human body" with a forked tail and the wings of a griffin.

While we still maintain that football is a detriment to the academic endeavors of this University, there is little denying that football can have a beneficial effect on some of those who participate in it. This benefit comes from the competition, not from winning or losing. If the athletic program at this university is to have any meaning, it must come from the values of the contest, not from the record of the team. Clearly, the man who replaces Bradshaw must be of the same strength of character as Bradshaw has displayed. Hopefully, of course, he will have a better understanding of the proper role of athletics in the academic community. He must, however, have the strength to realize that any value the program has is independent of his record and have the courage to take the insults of the critics as gracefully as Charlie Bradshaw has done. An(i Diligently And Eari,csl,y' The Kentucky Loss Of A Man Head Football Coach Charlie Bradshaw's resignation, tendered Tuesday night and effective at the end of this season, brings to focus again some of the serious problems concerning the future of athletics on this campus. Bradshaw's statement that he was leaving his post because he could not produce the kind of winning football program he desired must be accepted at face value, however, one may question how much the pressures of outside influences affected Bradshaw's decision. e It is no secret that many coaches out in the state wanted Bradshaw removed from his post because of his poor record. But it is important to notice that the members of the football team itself do not feel this way, and are quick to support their coach. The respect which Bradshaw has earned from his players is a clue to the nature of the man himself.

McCarthy's endorsement of Hubert Humphrey, coming at this time, cannot be interpreted as a selling-ou-t of the interest he has so nobly represented since New Hampshire. Rather, it seems, only an acknowledgment of the harsh political realities of this election in which young liberals are threatened by the possibility of repression under a Nivon-Agneadministration. Al- Sen. w most nothing these latter two men have said in this campaign would inforce the belief that they really understand the mood of modem youth in America today. McCarthy has left open his plans for the future, thereby offering hope that future elections will not offer so meaningless a choice. If the Democrats and Republicans refuse to respond to the present issues, perhaps a third party is a necessity. Sen. Eugene McCarthy, inouropin-ion- , would be the proper person to lead the move. Kernel Forum: the readers write To the Editor of the Kernel: In the last sentence of your editorial item entitled "Learning Opinion" (Kernel, October 16, 1968) you indicate your desire to "throw out the grading system altogether, and let learning be the guide, not ARCDE. I request that you answer, in an issue of the Kernel in the next few day s, the following questions: Assume that all courses taken by a student who earned his baccalaureate degree were of the pass-fai- l type. 1. How will a graduate scliool admissions officer determine whether the student can be expected to do graduate work successfully? A student who has a "just passed" undergraduate record cannot get into a graduate schx)l these days. 2. If you were a professor and were confronted by a student who hail failed in your pass-fai- l course and who demanded t hat you prove to him that he failed, how would you prove it? How would you resixjnd? 3. Should scholastic honor societies be aljolished? 4. How will a prospective employer distinguish between a graduate wliose grade-poiaverage indicates good mastery of all of his course work and a graduate who barely passed? Large companies express great preference for A and 11 students. 5. Why sliould a student who does good, or superior, work in school not be recognized and rewarded with a liigh nt numerical mark, a B, or an A? Meeting competition encourages one to do his best and it builds character. All graduates will find that the business world is full of competition. They should have some practice in getting ready for it while in school. Carl Davidson, while he was vice president of SDS in 19GG, spelled out clearly the objectives of that organization. One was to work to get all college courses changed to the pass-fa- il type. Another was to strive to get "students and liberated professors to work out a model curriculum and agitate for its adoption, mainly because studentsparticipated in it, rather than on its merits." Note those last five words. It appears that, with permission now to take four courses on a pass-fabasis, a start has been made on a "model curriculum" at the University of Kentucky. II. Alex Ilomanowitz Professor, Electrical Engineering non-requir- il To the Editor of the Kernel: Mr. Mihalek, after reading your article I am compelled to try to set the record straight. As a fellow law student, it is beyond me liow someone of your supposed ambition can leap blindly to the wild conclusion that islanding II is a "hot bed of immorality". Surely y ou have learned something about weighing the facts before broadcasting a personal opinion. A little fact finding here and you would not have so hastily condemned a system which permits responsible adults to live in the same building. I suggest the following as a possible reason for the housing of "fellas" and girls together. Due to the housing problem here, which UK is in the process of solving, there was not enough space in Gx)perstown (Graduate Housing Complex) to accomodate all graduate students this fall. Therefore, the only solution was to provide housing for them and that was in the form of Rlanding low-ris- e II. This is a typical three-floo- r building. The women occupy the first floor; the men, the upper two. There is very little interrelation between the lower and upper floors, and even that is done just like any other dating situation. Just because these students happen to live in the same building doesn't justify your implied conclusion that they are promiscuous. Living in a confined situation, such as that which exists in Rlanding II, no one, especially the female students, can afford to risk his reputation by indiscretion. And, believe me no one would without get away with any hanky-pank- y being summarily condemned by other n resilient s of the dorm. This is a fact and is observed religiously. For your further information there is a little more difference between undergraduates and graduates than you suggest. It is not unreasonable to assume that the average age of undergraduates is around well-know- n well-know- twenty. The a
