appeared before a Social
Change class Thursday afternoon
for an informal discussion with
the class on the topic of "social
change within the University."
The
sociology class,
taught by Dr. John Stephenson,
has been involved in a series of
student presentations on topics
relating to social change.
"The University is undergoing
two changes, almost simultaneously," said President Singletary.
"One is an internal type of situation and the other is external."
'Collapse of Community'
"A collapse of community"
between the students, faculty and
administrators was the internal
change the UK president described. He explained that there are
too many different ideas on the
proper role of the student, professor, University president and
men such as the trustees.
Noting that there is some question as to the amount of "community" that ever existed in a

SG Criticizes Bright, Directory
By RON HAWKINS
Assistant Managing Editor
The Student Government Assembly passed bills last night
criticizing the student teleplione
directory cover and setting up
a new procedure for the introduction of bills to the SC Assembly.
'The bill criticizing the phone
book said the "cover could serve
as a serious detriment toward
securing ads for next year's Student Director)."
The cover of the yearbook has
pictures showing students being
carried away by police, and a
cannon engulfed in smoke
pointing at the Administration
Building. It also features a quote
from former University president
Frank McVey calling the University a place of "reason" rather
than force.
The resolution concluded, " Be
it resolved that the Student Government Assembly go on record
as criticizing the persons responsible for the cover on the 1970-7-1
student telephone directory."

Sponsored by Ben Fletcher,
Baxter Schilling and Detlef
Moore, the resolution passed by a
13-count.
G

After the resolution passed,
Steve Bright said
he took "full credit" for the cover.
He went on to criticize the assembly's priorities, calling UK
"the most apathetic, dead place"
he had ever seen, charging that it
could be moved only by an issue
such as the cover of the phone
book.
SG president

Advocates 'Shiny Covers'
Bright concluded by suggesting the only way to please
people would be to have phone
books which have "shiny covers"
so that everyone could see himself.

Representative Hazel Colo-sim- o
asked Bright why he had not
consulted with the SG Assembly
members about the cover.
Bright replied, "I've aspired
to be God Almighty, but I'mjust
on the Jesus Christ plateau now."
A rules committee amendment
to SG speaker Buck Pennington's

bill to change the procedure for
submitting bills to the assembly
also passed.
The amendment provides that
all official "actions of the assembly shall be by resolution."
Additionally, all resolutions will
originate in committees.
The committee procedure provides that any "student who
wishes to submit a resolution may
do so by contacting the appropriate committee."
Can Consider Bills
The amendment carries the
qualification that the "assembly
may, by a majority vote, decide
to consider any resolution not
considered by committee."
The assembly also passed a
bill reestablishing the Student
Government Newsletter. The bill
originally said that the newsletter
would be inserted in the Kernel
and Wildcat, but was amended
to read that the newsletter would
be distributed by the "best means

available."

SG President Steve Bright announced in his president's report
that Dean of Students Jack Hall

"has appointed himself to be

SG's adviser. Bright said he
strongly opposed it, but noted
that Hall had the power to appoint himself.
Representative Sara O'Briant
resigned at the meeting, calling
the assembly ineffective. A motion to refuse her resignation was
started by SG Representative
David Blair, but it quickly died
as Miss O'Briant said her resignation was not a call for a
"vote of confidence."
The assembly "expunged" the
censure of SG Representative Jim
Williams. Williams voted for the
censure to continue.

University, Singletary said,
"There are grounds for a restora-

tion of community at the University of Kentucky."
The second type of change
that Singletary described dealt
with a different type communitythe one outside the University.
"This institution exists in a
society amidst more and more
hostilities
towards it," said
Singletary.

Praise for Tenure
'Means to Academic Freedom,' Says AAUP Secretary
By JANE D. BROWN
Assistant Managing Editor
The national assistant secretary of the American Association of University Professors came out
with strong praise for the concept of tenure in
teaching Wednesday afternoon at the first fall
meeting of the local AAUP chapter.
Dr. Joseph Schwartz shared the rostrum with
UK Vice President for Public Relations Dr. Clen-woo- d
Creech as the two discussed the role of a
university in the community and the value of
tenure among professors.
Schwartz said that "tenure is under attack" from
three sides. Some attacks, he said, come from
persons whose "understanding of tenure is insufficient." He maintained that administrators who
see tenured professors as immune to dismissal fall
into this category.
Designed To Protect
He said this view is a misconception, and that
"tenure is designed to protect the institution as
well as the faculty member."
Another group sees tenure "leading to a conSchwartz
servative cadre of old
said. He questioned whether it would beappropri-atefo- r
all professors to be of the "now generation."

"We need a balance of senior members as well
as young," he added.
In 1940, the AAUP instituted "recommendations for tenure requirements." Since that time,
its influence has spread until the organization
has become, in effect, the policing organization of
these policies.
AAUP Can Investigate
If a tenured faculty member is dismissed, the
AAUP may make an investigation to determine
if the firing is merited. If AAUP believes it is not,
the offending university may be blacklisted and
consequently find it difficult to hire professors in
the future.
Schwartz said that when initial recommendations on tenure were made by the AAUP, the organization stated that tenure was to be "the means
to two ends: academic freedom and security."
"Tenure is doing that, and it will continue
to do that," he asserted.
Schwartz's main contention was, however, that
administrators were intimidated by tenure policies
and didn't have enough "confidence to dismiss
someone who is undesirable but tenured."

Israel and its Arab enemies
were not expected to fly at each

peace talks seemed headed for
the deep freeze.
Israel says it is prepared to
continue the cease-firagreed

Israel, however, refuses to return to the peace talks until
Egypt witlidraws Soviet-mad- e

they were installed before the

With this deadlock, it was
difficult to see how peace talks
could be revived under the auspices of the Cunnar V. Jarring,
the U.N. peace envoy.
At the United Nations in New
York, it was felt Jarring might
leave soon to resume his post as
Swedish ambassador to Moscow.

to 16. There were 39 abstainers.
The resolution was vigorously opposed by Israel and the

United States, and by half the
Arab bloc, partly because most
of these Arab nations oppose any
negotiation with Israel.
Foreign Minister Abba Ebau
of Israel contended the resolution's provisions were so onesided that it would "obstruct the
eventual renewal of the Jarring
mission."

The debate ended with the
adoption of a resolution, passed

The affair has raised tension
between Washington and Moscow, with the two sides trading
protests.
The United States says theof-ficer- s

the Turkish Soviet border entirely inadvertently. The Soviets
denounced the intrusion into
their air space and say they

McCloskey said U.S. diplomats have asked Soviet permission to pay another visit Nov. 9
to the officers, who include two
U.S. Army generals and a major.
They are being held under house
arrest at Leninakian, Armenia.
U.S. consular officers last called

LONDON (AP)
six week garbage strike ended in

a snap settlement Thursday. Preparations began immediately for
clearing the mountains of rotting
garbage piled high in the streets
of London and other cities.

Union negotiators and employers reached agreement within
hours of a court of inquiry recommendation that the 770,000 municipal employees including gar

bage and sewage workers receive
nearly all they had demanded.
As the 65,000 strikers prepared
to go back, a union official said:
"Some people can be working
this weekend clearing up the
mess."
In London, open spaces and
the areas around street markets
are clogged with piles of
rubbish that have sent
the rat population soaring and
risked a health and fire hazard.

Power to the People?
Election 1970 ends. The people expressed their power. Republican uppeals to base passions were
turned back because the American
voting public realized the destruc-tivenes- s
inherent in such appeals.
Hie people sent Democrats to
Washington because they expect
their new representatives to end
the war, unite the nation and help
us live together.
Nixon and Agnew tactics of fear
and hatred failed because Americans are gradually recognizing the
importance of developing a level of
tolerance for others' ideals.

most of the Louisville bond proposals were soundly defeated because the citizens of the Commonwealth realize the danger of over

These are the answers.
Did Americans tend to support
Democrats because the Democratic
appeal was to the pocket book rather than the passions? Should
economic considerations override
social concerns? Can progress be
made by mistakes? Could the
"right" people have been elected
for the wrong reasons?
Could the bond issues have been
defeated because the struggle for
money has replaced the concern
for humanity?
Have property rights become

their civil rights? Ha slaw and order

Kernel Forum: the readers write
Walker Supporter
On November 19 an important aspect
in every college student's life will take
place. I am speaking of the Student Government elections. Of course, as in all
populations, there exists here at UK a
vast amount of political apathy. But for
those that are aware of what Student
Government can do for them, and even
for those that aren't, I believe this letter
may be of some interest to you.
For those of you that are satisfied
with your life as a student; for those
that actually believe that no changes are
needed in our present system, then apathy
is a beautiful stand to take. Apathy is
a strong support of the status quo and it
is through apathy that our lives retain
their stagnant states.
However, this letter is not a dissertation on the evils of apathy and ignorance.
I merely want to point out that in a world
of disinterest, there are those that are
interested. One of these people is Fred
Walker.
Too many times, no matter how trivial,
political elections are won by politicians
and we all know, too few times by "people". This is the reason I urge you to
vote for Fred Walker in the November
19 Student Government elections. I know
Fred, not only as a friend, but as a person
who is interested in the interests of others.
Fred Walker is not interested in Fred
Walker's wants but he is interested in
you as an individual.
For example, those of you who have
been here long enough can surely remem-be- r
the complaints about not having a
"sensible" two-meplan; a plan which
offered lunch and dinner. Last fall Fred
Walker wrote the bill for this act, and
through coordinating with other members
of Student Government got it passed.
Trivial to some? Perhaps. Change for
the better? Definitely! I know that this
act has saved me some $50 a year and
an unwanted and wasted third meal.

Further legislation sponsored by Fred
Walker in SG include:
Appropriation of money to the Free
University.
Investigation of why it costs $1500
to have a dance in the Commons cafeteria.
Sidewalk lights between Ilagginand
Donovan Halls.
Attempt to put change machines
in dorms.

Seeking a better way for concert
ticket distribution, giving everyone an
equal chance for good seats.
So, in conclusion, I would merely
like to leave you with this thought
Tins is your school and your college life.
If you are interested in it, I implore
you to vote in the Student Government
election on November 19. If you really
Fred Walker as your
care, vote to
south campus (Complex) representative.

Who's Comin' When ?
Since the beginning of the semester
the Student Coalition has been promising
to bring UK some real important Dudes
to speak their speech as they done spoke
before. With each meeting they say,
"They're comin', we won't say who or
for what but they're comin'."
As the term progressed Terrible Terrie,
the White Knight soldier of fortune in
Jockey Shorts, promised us faithfully that
the speakers were a comin' He let slip
that Ronald Rayguns (ZAP) and John
"Kill a Commie for Christ" Wayne
couldn't (or wouldn't) make it. Massa
Terrie promised us that the terrific story
of the comin' would break in the first
edition of the Student Coalition Shit Sheet,
The Kentucky Wildcat. So we waited and
waited for the grand and glorious day
of our awakening to the truth. When we
asked when this day of all days would
occur we were told, "We don't know, but
it's a comin."
1

When that eventful day finally came
we rushed to our friendly paper-pushto get an absolutely free copy of the Word.
We read every word, even the big ones,
but with tears in our eyes we came to
the realization that we still didn't know
who was a comin. We did find out that
Jeff Cumer was a Yenta with a persecution complex and that Tom Bowden's
high school education didn't go to waste,
but other than that we learned nothin
new.
So to this day we still don't know
who's a comin.' Mebbe the Student
Coalition is pullin the wool over our
eyes. Mebbe they're too busy fighting
the evils of the Campus Commie Conspiracy to tell us who's a comin. Or
mebbe the smucks at Kastle Hall themselves can't come. We may never know. If
you believe this letter is ridiculous or
obscene ou probably can't come eit her.

Open House Policy
To the Editon
On October 29 I talked with Dean
Pond about the open house policy in
the residence halls. My interest in this
matter stems from the facts that I am
living in a dormitory for the fifth semester and that I am a representative in both
Kirwan Tower Government and the SG
Assembly. Dean Pond seemed very sympathetic to my proposals for a more liberalized open house policy and we came
to an agreement which should interest
the governing bodies of all residence
halls, if they do not already know. That
is, Dean Pond will allow any dormitory
to have open house once a week. The
rules have not changed. They're still
unsatisfactory in my opinion.
But, the significant thing is that now
a dormitory can have weekly open houses
at the same times every week and apply
for them ahead of time. For instance, a
dorm could have open houses every Saturday 5 p.m. for an entire semester.
Also, Dean Pond agreed to allow dormitories to apply for additional open houses
(besides the regular weekly one) if they so
desire. I urge all dorm governments to
take advantage of this opportunity.
