Are protests dying?
Just ask the marchers

Impressive turnouts at anti~war
protests in Washington and across the
country Saturday certainly caused
political cynics who have proclaimed
the death of the movement to eat their
“Four More Years“ bumper stickers.

In retaliation t0 remarks that the
anti—war movement was merely a
passing fad. thousands of concerned
Americans fought chilly weather to
voice disapproval of the President‘s
heartless Christmas-time bombing of
North Vietnam and to seek assurance
that his promises of peace are
fulfilled.

In Washington. an estimated 100.000
persons attended a rally. doubling the
expectations of its sponsors. An ex-
cellent side attraction was a wartime
mass counter-concert conducted by
Leonard Bernstein at the Washington
National t‘athedral. Nearly 12.t1t1o
persons attended.

Many of the nation's largest cities.
like Chicago. San Francisco and Los
Angeles. drew crowds of about :tooo
each.

And. to their credit. several middle
sized towns experienced their first
peace marches Louisville broke its
apathetic chains with a 2.3m turnout.

Here in Lexington. the crowd
numbered around 3”“.

The most notable facet of the
protests. however. was that their
participants could not be stereotyped.
Instead of the traditional long-haired.

The stadium and academic needs

I read with some interest the Kentucky
Kernel editorial on Jan 18. 1973. Some of
the statements were outright inaccurate
and the conclusions were invalid. It was
apparently written without confirmation
of facts

I have not stated that the 11 day delay
“would mean that l'K‘s first two home
games this season would be contested at
Stoll Field" The 11 days would simply
mean the stadium would be completed
.\ug 311. 1973. rather than .-\ug 11. 1973. As
a matter of fact the contractor's target
date continues to be Aug 11. 1973. as Dean
t'rawtord indicated in his article on the
same date. page 4. I will not go into the
ramifications of financing. but assure you
that the conclusion is inaccurate. even if
one assumes a delayed completion Should
you be interested in the facts. I will be glad
to discuss them with you

Let me assure you that the stadium has
not intertered or effected the academic

the national anthem

But why weren't they in the middle
where they usually sit and lead the crowd
with their cheers. etc'.’ Because the
University sold their seats.

What happened was that the l'niversity
asked the band to play at the game as a
special lavor .lan lit was a vacation day.
1 time when the band would not normally
iave been there But they came
them from several hundred miles away

business The people who normally cheer
the crowd on found that out very well
Saturday night

l'iyen when the seats had been 111i
pi‘opriated It seats for a 13o piece band
the l niyei'sity kept on selling them The
seats in w liicli they sat kept on being taken
away by Lcyington tans until all that was
left of the Kentucky
trumpets. some tronibones. and a pittance

band was a tew

of baritones

'l'lic reason the l'iiiversity was able to
sell the tickets was that the people of
Le\iiigton are willing to pay any price to
see a 1K basketball game

And. the l'niversity loves the holiday
season. because it means that the tickets
that the students buy through their activity
tees can go to the paying customers Most
schools do this. When the students are
away. they are able to fill the gym with
laiis

The problem Saturday was that the
I'niversity wanted to fill the gym with fans
and have music. too I'nfortunately'. the
band was so diminished that all the music
that was able to come was the national
anthem and the school song and those
only because it was absolutely necessary.

Suppose this trend were to continue. We
can imagine that the l'niversity will
contiiine to want to get the money from
paying Lexingtonians. so it isn‘t too wild to
think that maybe they‘ll keep moving into
seats until. one night. Ronnie Lyons might
dribble into the gym. warm up. and then go
to claim his seat on the bench. only to find
a paying fan sitting there.

A l'niversity representative would
obviously assure him that this was all a big
mistake and would make sure to put him
somewhere convenient to the floor. say
maybe aisle WW row 19 And when he is
taken care of. of course Joe Ilall would
want a seat We'll have to tell Mr Hall. 01
course. that everybody can't get a seat so
he. too. will have to make way for a paying
customer

Sorry about that. Joe. but we can't
please everybody

A meeting to form a local citizens'
assembly for political action will be held
on Tuesday Jan. 23. at 7:230 pm. at the
t‘atholic Newman (‘enter on Rose Lane.
The goal for Tuesday night‘s meeting is to
commence organizing this town's “liberal
community” into an active and efficacious
political entity Much of the impetus
comes from those who worked for George
McGovern in 1972.

l‘nderstandibly. it is very difficult for
many to bounce back from the Nov. ‘72
setback and to take up. once again, the
battle cry for political reform. a cry for
responsible government and more
humanitarian decision-making. However.
what we must accept is the fact that the
realization of the liberal idealism that
surrounded the McGovern candidacy in ~72

though quite a breakthrough. would have
been only the beginning. An innumerable
count of institutions. bodies of ”learned”
decisionmakers would still have to have
been convinced of the desirability of
altering our society's priorities. The
McGovern candidacy served well as an
escape \alye of steam for those screaming
for significant governmental reform

many steps ahead of what ought to have
preceded it. that it (lid not have a prayer of
success. The tedious process of winning
over local communities. regions and states
to alternative governmental policies had
not been done.

A massive number of political “out—

these outcasts have not made any
significant inroads into the various local
political structures across the country.
