Second SG Vote
Set For May 2
By JANICE BARBER
Suspending bylaws in its
wake, Student Government Tuesday night approved May 2 as the
date for its second spring election
and appointed a three-maelections committee to supervise the

voting.

Elections held April 10 were
ruled invalid by the University's
Judicial Board, necessitating the
second election. SG vice president Raphael Vallebona indicated he would file an appeal
with the Appeals Board today
to overturn the
decision. Vallebona was the chairman

150 Suspended At KSC,
Including Student Leaders
By ROBERT F. BRANDT
Some 150 students at Kentucky State College in Frankfort have been expelled or indefinitely suspended due to their
"boycotting of classes and block-

ing the interests of the college,"
several KSC students and student
leaders report.
The students were "thrown

out" during their Easter vacation and told to appeal their

cases, they said. Meanwhile, they
are not allowed on state property
and have nowhere to live.
(KSC students asked that their
names not be used since many
are about to have appeal cases
brought up before the school's

administration.)

Classes were, let out early
for spring break at the college
in hopes the situation would
"cool down." Rioting and arson
had occurred on campus and
several buildings setNafire.
Four KSC students presently
are facing arson charges in Frankfort Police Court. An arson charge
against Joe Moore, a student,
was dropped Tuesday afternoon.
Among students who have
been suspended are the president

and the

of the

KSC Student Government. Students claim there is'no student
leadership" because most of the
Student Government now is not
allowed on campus.

Several student leaders have
charged the administration with
"taking things into their own
hands," and prohibiting the right
"to due process."
Students would not speculate
on what would come of the situation, but said they were going
to the Kentucky Student Association for help.
"You can't use our names
(in this news story)," one student
said, "or they'll never let us
back on campus."
"The thing we are fighting,"
one student leader said, "is not
so much the fact that we were
suspended, but the way the administration went about it.
"They waited until we were
home on vacation," he said, and
then suspended us without any
consultation. We were informed
by letter.".
"Since we have returned, they
have blocked our entry onto the
campus by making it necessary
for us to get police permission
to go on state property."

'Kernel Forum: the readers write

To the Editor of the Kernel:
In light of the staggering statistics
with w hich we are constantly bombarded,
one cannot but be appalled by the grossly
unbalanced government spending on
foreign affairs in general and on the
Vietnam conflict in particular. The figures
of government foreign expenditures and
defense expenditures are in themselves astounding, but when one sees
them in the light of factors of immediate
national interest such as the alarming
rise in crime, the growing racial unrest,
and the degrading effects of poverty, it
is time that the realization were reached
that the time has come to act. While
our leaders quibble over some "far reaching political ideology" which they fear
as a threat to our nation, they are virtually turning their backs on internal problems which are devouring our nation
nowl An equally shocking fact is that
not only the government officials, but
the average citizen seem either oblivious
to or unconcerned with these problems.
In the city of Los Angeles, during
an average week, more than 2,500 major
crimes are committed. Twenty-fiv- e
women
are raped, four citizens are murdered,
190 others are beaten, knifed or shot,
153 robberies are reported, 445 cars are
stolen 637 larcenies involving $50 or more
are committed and 1076 housebreakings
are recorded; all in one short week!
Police chief Thomas Reddin cites the
following reason: "We need 10,000 men,
but we can't even fill our authorized
strength of 5383." While the nation's
crime rate is growing six times faster
than the imputation, a national survey
of 36 major police departments disclose
that not one is up to authorized strength,
and U.S. Assistant Attorney General Fred
Vinson, Jr. puts the national police shortage at 50,000. We ask why, but the answers are really quite simple. While our
government is spending billions of dollars in Vietnam and in other foreign
nations, patrolman in Dixon, Tennessee,
start out at $2,400 per year; in Durant,
Oklahoma at $2,760; and in Clasgow,
Kentucky at $3,000. In Seattle a cable
splicer earns $375 a month more than
policeman and on and on it goes.
This past summer saw massive racial
revolt take place in several of our large
cities. In the wake of this revolution,

hundreds of thousands of dollars damage
was done and many lives were lost. This
summer will surely see new outgrowths of
this situation as slum conditions worsen.
The degrading condition of the ghetto
and slum areas breeds unrest violence,
crime, and finally riot and revolt.
But instead of channeling portions of
to correct these
money and
man-pow-

To the Editor of the Kernel:
We should take a hard look at some
of these professors who are teaching our
young people. Perhaps the
Activities Committee will do that job for
us. Let's speculate on how it might work.
I think that when it really gets underway
the cleanness of the sweep may be in
direct proportion to the number of committee members, because each individual
may have different ideas on what is

Perhaps the first committee member
to speak will suggest that we got rid of
the Communists on campus because they
are atheistic, and America is founded upon
a belief in Cod. The next committee mem-le- r
suggests the Birchers must go because
the methods they advocate for attaining

are heard and supjwrted by the full committee; both memlers are expelled and
replaced by new appointees.
Another member makes a motion that
beCatholics be declared

Motion carries. The single Catliolic member of the committee files a minority report. He then moves that Baptists be

will not accept federal funds for their
colleges. The Baptists on the committee

that nothing in the constitution calls
for a wall between church and state,

appalling conditions, the government's
solution is to remove the Negro and
white from these surroundings
and send him overseas to die for its
idealistic goals.
Closely related to racial unrest, but
not confined to cities, is the
condition of many white and Negro families living in small towns and niral areas.
One is really amazed to know that in
a country so rich that billions upon billions of dollars can be spent in foreign
countries for the relief of poverty, a
man can be stmck down in the peak
of his earning years as a "blue-collworker" with a chronic illness and his
wife be forced to find work paying twenty-fiv- e
dollars a week with which she must
support a family of seven children. Can
we as a society be so blind that we
cannot see our own problems for looking
at those of others?
In the words of Jesus as recorded in
the 23rd chapter of Matthew, verses 25
through 26(in Today's English Version):
". . . You clean the outside of your cup
and plate, while the inside is full of
things you have gotten by violence and

referred to President Johnson as a stupid,
old man who is not with us. In the same
breath Mr. Stacey told us his father could
not understand him; that his father, like
President Johnson was from another generation and not with us.
I would like to know what is
being
"with us," who is "us," and just what
is it that they or we believe. I wonder
if Mr. Stacey is not assuming a lot if
he presumes he speaks for this generation.
I strongly suspect that when Mr.
Stacey
grows up, or shall I say matures, he will
find that his father and President Johnson are wise old men after all and that
their age does not make them so terribly
different from our generation. Of course,
I could be wrong. I am still learning.
Another of the speakers was Mr. John
Lansdale, an economics major who has
been quite outspoken in support of the
war in Vietnam. Mr. Lansdale is not the
best public speaker I have ever heard
and I was never completely sure of w hat
he was advocating. His main point seemed
to be that of admonishing the various
antiwar groups and the way in which
they express their views or opinions.
Oddly enough, both Mr. Stacey and
Mr. Lansdale, although supporting opposite sides of the Vietnam argument,
were very similar in many ways. Both
appeared to be interested in only a small
part of the war and they had a very
narrow view of the war. Again, both Mr.
Stacey and Mr. Lansdale continually contradicted themselves when questioned and
were not sure of their argument. They
were unable to prove or disprove anything.
Last, but most impressive and convincing of the three speakers was Dr.
Jacobs, Marine Colonel in the Reserve
and Professor of American Literature at
UK. Dr. Jacobs did not badger the class
jwith his opinions. He merely offered a
lew facts about why the United States
is in Vietnam, the situation we are in
and what result complete pull-oin
Vietnam would have on the United States.
By comparison, Dr. Jacobs illustrated to
me how very narrow is the outlook and
the extent of knowledge which Mr. Stacey
and Mr. Lansdale possess about the war.
I am sure I will be considered apathetic
by many intellectuals and many readers
of the Kernel but I am taking a "middle
of the road" stand. At the end of this
series of lectures I continue to have faith
in the American system of government.
That is, the people elect public officials
and they in turn function in the best
interest of the American people. I cannot
believe that anyone, Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, functioning
as president would treat the Vietnam
situation differently than it is now being

handled. But then, I am only a freshman
and eager to learn. I welcome anyone

Now that the committee finds an area
of agreement they vote to begin an investigation of all Unitarians and the
at the universities. A
quick survey reveals a truly frightening
state of affairs: the faculty of the University of Kentucky contains Unitarians
far out of all proportion to their numbers
in the general population! Clearly their
plan must be to infiltrate the universities
and capture the minds of the nation's
youth. Evidence of their success includes
recent meetings of the student Unitarian
group to discuss such unspeakable topics
as altortion and pot.
It soon becomes clear that an investigation of Unitarians on campus will be a
major undertaking requiring considerable
expense. The question of asking the legislature for a special appropriation for committee expenses is discussed. One committee member says he thinks they can
count on the supjxjrt of a poorly-know- n

that the most important act of the 1968

the next legislature session. As they leave
the room one member is heard to say that
certain Unitarians have been known to
ridicule
activities committees, and that he believes this is the best
sign of a subversive.

Clean what is inside

the cup first, and then the outside will
be clean too! . . . You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the
outside, but are full of dead men's bones
and rotten stuff on the inside." "You strain
a fly out of your drink, but swallow a
camel!" These words were spoken to the
church leaders of nearly 2000 years ago,
but they seem to draw a quite vivid
picture of our nation today. The time
for philosophizing has past now is the
time to act.

I am only a freshman. L had ideas
on the Vietnam war before I came to
the University, but they were only ideas
and I am still in the process of forming
concrete opinions and convictions. I am
here to learn.
In Freshman English we are pursuing
the theme of war. In the past few weeks
we have had several guest lecturers speak
to us on the Vietnam war. One of these
speakers was Mr. Jim Stacey, a graduate
student in English and a seemingly dedicated member of the Peace Action Croup.
At the very least, Mr. Stacey was a
colorful speaker, with his many "descriptive" adjectives, his hint of a beard and
his black velvet,, high heeled, pointed-toe- d
boots. Mr. Stacey quoted to us
many statistics about the damage being
done, and all the many people being
murdered in Vietnam. lie consistently

camj us is r.pail.otic ioward the Vietnam
war. A h":e majoritv of students on campus are concerned or interested in the war.
They just don't evpose their feelings or
emotions to the out side world. Maybethey
are too timid to do this or don't want to
resort to
protests, or demonstrations.
Is our campus actively involved? Perhaps the answers to this is in how broadly
you use the term "involved." Most all
males on campus are involved in the sense
that the longevity of the war might determine their future of being subject to
the draft and therefore being involved.
I can recall only one group that has
voiced an opinion on campus for or
against the war. That is the Peace Action Group's picketing of the employment
recruiters of companies wlw have contracted with the War Department. So I
don't think our campus is truly actively
involved in the Vietnam war situation.
As for the degree of information received through the various news media,
no person except for government officials
is well informed on the war. I believe
all the information we receive is first
military authority. You can
find few articles written about our involvement in Vietnam that aren't biased
or written by an unbiased author.
in view of information and opinions
presented to me by three particular speakers concerning the war, I believe the UK
students are acting intelligently regarding
the Vietnam war. At this time i can't see
where
etc. against the war situations will help solve anything. The majority of our campus is remaining publicly
silent on the war situation and I believe
they do so until we can become better
informed and gather more concrete information as to why the United States
is involved in the Vietnam war.

with apoligies to Country Joe and the Fish
Herbert Apthcker came and went with all the flourish of a limp
noodle. He was impressively brilliant in the way he handled his talk;
his rational explanation of the communist system had to impress all
those gathered. And strange to say, no one came away spouting the
Marxist doctrine, carrying the Red flag, or sporting a "better Red than
dead" lapel button.
His talk was no doubt a fine addition to the list of speakers appearing on campus this semester.
All the hoopla as an advance to his talk proved to be nothing
more than a decent public relations job to guarantee a nice crowd
at the gathering. What he said was important, and the fact that he is
a communist has nothing at all to do with the importance of his intellect.
That he was allowed to appear here is a feather in the cap of those
concerned, and to those people we offer our sincere thanks for not
who voiced so strong a criticism
listening to all those
of his appearance.
But most of all, we want to thank the world for people like Herbert
Aptheker, that brand of individual willing and able to keep firm their
belief in a cause. This is what's important, and this is what we so
need as an example on this campus.
