FRANKFURT — A bill which would
place certain quotas on admission policies
for law. medicine and dentistry programs
at state colleges and universities passed
the senate Tuesday 20-10. with five ab-
stentions. Three senators were absent.

SB 108, sponsored by Sen. Denver
Knuckles ( R-Middlesboro ). requires 70 per
cent of the enrollment positions for the
entering classes be apportioned among
Kentucky‘s seven Congressional districts.

The other 30 per cent would include 15
per cent from the state overall. Non-
resident enrollment could not exceed 15
per cent.

KNL'CKLt-ZS explained he introduced the
legislation because many Kentuckians
have been denied admission to these
schools.

“We‘re turning out doctors and dentists
in this state who are going back to their
own states after they graduate," he said.

before he gave $200,000 secretly to
President Nixon‘s reelection campaign,
financier Robert L. Vesco sought Atty.
Gen. John N. Mitchell‘s influence on his
behalf in a stock fraud case, a key
government witness testified Tuesday.

“He asked me if I could use my good
offices with Mr. Mitchell," the witness,
Harry L. Sears. told a jury at the federal
court criminal conspiracy trial of Mitchell
and former Commerce Secretary Maurice
H. Stans. Sears. a co-defendant in the case,
testified after being granted total im-
munity from prosecution.

o CINCINNATI — Democrat Thomas A.
Luken defeated Republican Willis I).
Gradison Jr. in an Ohio congressional
election Tuesday, providing a possible
measure of the effect of Watergate on the
Republican party.

It was the third Democratic victory in
three special congressronal elections in the

lucky boys and girls to get into the
profession they want."

The only senator to voice opposition to
the bill, Sen. Lacey Smith tD-Louisville),
said the quota system would not ac-
complish what Knuckles desired.

"WHILE I fully understand and sym-
pathize with the bill‘s intent, the best way
for full representation of the students is to
upgrade elementary and secondary
education in the state.“ he said.

Smith. a lawyer. said legislation
establishing a quota system “would surely
run afoul of the United States Con-
stitution.“ and urged defeat of SB 108.

Degrees are offered in all three
categories at UK and the University of
Louisville. The only other state institution
that would currently be affected is Salmon
P. Chase Law School at Northern Kentcky
State College.

that would set a $2.20—an—hour minimum

would be hard to meet. He explained that
in some instances the district might not
have an adequate number of suitable

About 90 per cent of the College of Law‘s
enrollment consists of Kentucky
residents. Hardy said. There is heavy
distribution in eastern Kentucky. he
noted.

A slappy decision

“Seldom has a more irrational bill been seriously
considered," commented a Courier-Journal editorial
Tuesday about a bill to place quotas on admissions
policies for law. medicine and dentistry programs at
state college and universities.

The editorial gave several reasons why the bill was
rotten, and urged its defeat. The Kentucky senate,
however, failed to heed reason and passed the
measure 20-10. (See detailed story , page 1. )

Available evidence indicates the bill, which would
divide the state into seven regions and would require
a percentage of students from each of the areas to be
admitted each year, is completely unnecessary.

All three of the professional schools at UK report
good distribution of Kentucky residents. The
University of Louisville serves primarily that city
and would suffer from such restrictions. The only
other state facility which would be affected, Northern
Kentucky’s Chase Law School, draws heavily from
Ohio residents and would also suffer.

Perhaps a better answer for equalizing the
distribution of Kentucky residents in professional
schools comes from Sen. Lacey Smith (D-Louisville).
Smith contends the upgrading of elementary and
secondary education across the state would yeild

better results.

is it 1954 again?

My, how time passes

By LEOLA JOHNSON
AND
PAULA BIOGERSTAFF

My, how time passes. Here it is 1954
again. and the University of Kentucky
administration still doesn’t know what to
do about the “black problem."

The “black problem". consists of black
student dissatisfaction with the policies
tOl" lack of policies) toward black student
concerns. There is no need to worry,
however. Robert G. Zumwinkle. vice
president fe student affairs said in a
recent Lexington llerald interview that
black student concerns are more
"psychological than objective reality."

SINCE THE DISTINCTION between
“psychological and objective realities”
might be confusing to some people, let‘s
try to determine what Zumwinkle might
have meant.

The “black problem" at the University
of Kentucky started long before the first
Supreme (‘ourt desegregation decision of
public schools in 1954. According
to Herman L. Donovan, president of UK
from 1941 to 1956, the problem first came to
a head when a “young Negro named John
Wesley Hatch applied for admission to the
(‘ollege of Law. Before that time we had
never received an application from a
Negro for admission to the University."

Because of legislation forbidding in-
tegration in Kentucky, a deal was worked
out where Hatch would be admitted to
Kentucky State College “with the un-
derstanding that the University would
provide the teachers to instruct this Negro
law student." according to Donovan.

WAS THIS “psychological or objective
reality?"

Donovan handled the “black problem“
based on certain principles. “My first
principle was that the integration program
should be one of gradualism." It was. in
part. this kind of “gradualism” which led
to the riotsof the 60‘s. It is ridiculous to ask

starving people to “gradually" find ways
of feeding themselves. The economic and
educational problems which black people
face are a matter of life and death. Since
that time. many authorities, both black
and white, have recognized the
“gradualism” argument as a racist one.

Yet 26 years after Hatch was admitted to
Kentucky State. a class on minority
relations at UK uses a textbook whose
authors advocate the most primitive form
of the “gradualism” argument. The other
side of this argument that social reform
should move with “all deliberate speed”—
is not treated in this course.

IS THE FACT that the “gradualism”
argument is still taught in the classrooms
of UK a “psychological or objective
reality“?

in 1949, Lyman T. Johnson, a teacher in
the Louisville Public School System and
the president of the NAACP. moved to
integrate the UK graduate school. He
applied and gained forcible entry
through the US. District Court at
Lexington.

“I remember when students from other
schools came to UK to work," Johnson
said in a recent interview. “They were
strictly servants. When they walked
around. they knew their place.” He
remembered whites burning crosses for
him.

WAS THIS “psychological or objective
reality"?

In recent Herald-Leader articles, the
argument has been advanced that the
black enrollment at UK is not what it
should be. Since this argument might be
only a “psychological reality,” it is
strange that the UK black student
population at UK is 2 per cent while the
total black population of Kentucky is 7
per cent. Since Kentucky is a state
university funded by the public (including
the 7 per cent of the public which is black),
it is indeed an odd “psychological reality"

that the black enrollment is only 2 per
cent.

It might be argued that Jerry Stevens’
characterization in the Herald of UK as a
plantation is a psychological rather than
an objective reality. However, according
to Lerone Bennet, Jr. in Before the
Mayflower, the hardships of plantation life
were far more objective than
psychological. Some analogies may be
drawn between plantation left and black
student life here at UK.

Bennett writes, “Masters, with few
exceptions, recognized the necessity of
mind control, by means of controlling
slave behavior." it could be argued that
the empty committments to maintain an
independent and powerful office of
minority student affairs and the failure to
secure space for the Black Student Union
are all forms of controlling slave behavior.

AFTER ALL. if you can keep black
students thinking that you are working
with “all deliberate sppeed" to achieve
equitable student standards, it may not be
necessary to come forth with evidence
tie, space for the Black Student Union. a
significant increase in minority

Vlewpolnt

enrollment. more black faculty members.
more independence for the office of
minority student affairsi

Perhaps. the perceptions of black
students about the lack of action on the
part of the administration can be summed
up ina quote from Stokely Carmichael and
Charles Hamilton: “White Americans
are not torn and tortured by the conflict
between their devotion to the American
creed and their actual behavior. They are
upset by the current state of race
relations. to be sure. But what troubles
them is not that justice is being denied but
that their peace is being shattered and
their business interrupted.“

And maybe. the “objective v.
psychological reality" problem is a white
problem. One which will need to be solved
before the behavxor of the administration
matches its verbal committments.

For most, day in court is unpleasant

(Writer‘s Note: Senate Bill 183 proposes
an amendment to the Constitution of
Kentucky relating to the Judicial Branch
of Government. This is the first of two
articles explaining the provisions of the
amendment.)

By JOHN (i. HEYBUHN

For the average citizen, to be in court is
to be in some sort of unpleasant cir-
cumstance. Most prefer to forget the
unpleasantry in the hope they will never be
so cursed again. Too many of us forget that
the judicial process continues in-
conspicuously; adjudicating our dif-
ferences, protecting our rights and
maintaining the foundation of an orderly
society.

Unfortunately for Kentuckians. such
noble ideals and the efforts of our
most capable public servants are m-
creasingly frustrated by an 1891 State
Constitution which has proven overly
restrictive and clearly inadequate to meet
today's needs.

THE RESULT is a system which too
often provides inadequate justice. Justice
is inadequate when cases languish three
years before decision by the Court of
Appeals; when uncoordinated judicial
branches proliferate into confusing and
overlapping jurisdictions; whenever
political connections rather than

professional qualifications elect our
judges.

The proposed Judicial Amendment is a
much needed step in the right direction. It
provides for a unified four-tiered court
system with provisions for the non-
partisan election of judges as well as a
merit selection plan to fill vacancies.
Similar reforms have been adopted by
over half the states in the nation.

The Kentucky Plan provides for:

.-\ Ful'lt-TIEREI) court system: The
state Court of Justice would be divided into
the Supreme Court. the Court of Appeals.
theCircuit and District Courts. The state’s
highest court would be renamed the
Supreme Court and a new intermediate

(‘ourt of Appeals consisting of 14 Justices .

working in not less than three judge panels
would be created. At present the state's
highest court must devote far too much
time to inconsequential and routine ap—
peals, while issues which shape our
(‘ommon Law doctrines and cases of true
Constitutional significance are delayed or
too hastily decided.

The new intermediate court would
relieve the Supreme Court of its present
overload which has spawned a backlog of
over 1,000 cases and would reduce the
current three year delay on decisions for
most appeals. Most importantly, the new

(‘ourt of Appeals would preserve for every
citizen his right to a speedy and well
considered appeal.

The Circuit and District Courts are the
“courts of first impression“ where over 90
per cent of the state‘s legal issues begin
and end. and where most citizens have
contact with the judiciary. For this reason
they are perhaps our most important
courts. The present system of trial courts
needs to be restructured in order to func-
tion more efficiently and fairly.

THE (‘lHCl'lT (‘Ol‘HT would retain
original trialjurisdietion for all actions not
limited to the District Courts, and would
acquire appellate jurisdiction as provided
by the Supreme Court.

District Courts would have original trial
jurisdiction over less serious civil and
criminal actions. The overlapping county
courts such as the Justice of the Peace
Courts, the Probate Courts. the Police
Courts, the Quarterly Courts, the Juvenile
Courts. the Courts of Inquiry, and the
Magisterial Courts would be reorganized
within the District Courts. in each Judicial
Circuit and District the Court would select
a ChiefJudge to efficiently administer the
Court‘s business. All local judges would
retain their positions within a more ef-
ficient judicial structure. County judges
would retain their administrative func-

tions. giving up only their judicial duties.
No county would be deprived of a resident
District judge under the new Amendment.
A unified court system: Kentucky‘s
judicial system is a conglomeration of
courts over which very little quality
control can be exerted. The entire state
judic1ary receives less than one tenth of 1
per centof the total state budget. The
Judicial Amendment establishes a state
funded Court of Justice and gives the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court authority
and power to administer the entire system.
The Chief Justice could establish
uniform rules of procedure. take measures
to relieve overburdened courts. and ap-
point a state courts administrator to insure
greater efficiency apgomvgbmbutter
court facilities. Most importantly, he
would submit to the General Assembly a
budget for the entire Court of Justice to
provide every county with proper funding
for its local courts. The unified court
system would insure equal quality of
justice throughout the Commonwealth.
