Gov. Nunn Inaugurated

‘State Need Not Suffer if
FromSplit Leadership’ ,

By sv RAMSEY

FRANKFORT (AP) — Re-‘

publican Gov. Louie B. Nunn
offered “the hand of friend-
ship" to all in his inaugural
address Tuesday and said Ken-
tucky need not suffer from the
party split in leadership.

The 43cyear-old Glasgow at-
torney did not speciﬁcally men-
tion that his lieutenant governor
is a Democrat and the 1968
Legislature is Democrat-domin-
ated. But before he was sworn
in publicly in front of the Cap-
itol steps shortly after 3 p.m.,
he said:

“There are those who have
said—and others who will say
—that we shall have a divided
house and that a house divided
against itself cannot stand.

Not True

"This need not be true. It
will not be true if each of us
who is charged with public re-
sponsibility keeps firmly in his
mind that there is a common
touchstone. . . ."

Nunn said he offers friend-
ship and cooperation “to all who
will accept it" but:

“It will be a firm hand and
if it is rejected for selfish rea-
sons 1 shall at once appeal to
the court of last resort—the peo-
ple of my state.

Partisan Politics Prohibited

“I shall not indulge in—nor
shall I permit—partisan politics
to impede the programs and the
progress that we shall under-
take.”

The swearing-in ceremony
came after a four-hour parade
of bands and floats that started
in blustery weather and ended
in warming sunshine.

An estimated 20,000 visitors
arrived in the capital city of
23,000. Some 2,500 watched
the inaugural rites.

Record Turnout

Some natives here said the
turnout actually was greater
than in 1963 and that there
were more people in the 250
bands and floats that crawled
along the streets for a half mile
and went past a reviewing stand
at the Capitol.

Nobel
Prize

Yet the general tenor seemed
more subdued than when the
factionally feuding Democrats
celebrated their previous two
gubernatorial triumphs.

There was little noisy revelry
and Nunn’s speech was not in-
terrupted at all by applause.

Bells Toll

It was interrupted, however,
by newly installed carillon bells
from inside the Capitol which
began pealing at 3 pm.

Nunn, whose address painted
the state future in broad brush
strokes, said he would not an-
nounce in details yet his plans
for the 1968 General Assembly.

But he focused on two cate-
gories of Kentuckians: The
young and the old.

For youth, he promised “a
progressively better educational
system in all its aspects."

For the elderly, he said “we
shall try to add a new freedom
-the freedom from loneliness.”

Liberty Is Not License

Nunn said he wants to dis-
courage young people from
“the idea that liberty is license
and that freedom is without re-

, sponsibility.'

For the aged, he said "ade-
quate medical care and modern
comfort” could enable them to
live their twilight years in dig-
nity and enjoyment.

In neither instance did Nunn
spell out what he has in mind—
and none of his statements
could be interpreted as a deﬁ-
nite pledge of legislation.

Between the young and old,
he said, is the "productive, vig-
orous, busy majority” and for
them he promised to “spare no
effort to provide gainful em-
ployment."

Turning to outgoing Gov. Ed-
ward T. Breathitt, he said
Breathitt’s emphasis on luring
industry to Kentucky would not
diminish.

Nunn outlined similar broad
hopes for the Kentucky farmer,
for cities with growing pains
and for the mining industry.

mand must be brought to bear

Editor Resets Bernie A. Shively

Kernel editor-in-chief William
Knapp resigned eﬂective January
21, 1968 at the Monday evening
meeting of the Board of Student
Publications.

Academic reasons were cited,
and the Board was urged to in-
vestigate ways in which academic
credit can be given to future
executive members of The Kernel
staff as the business of producing
a daily newspaper becomes afull
time job, one impossible to do
well and carry a full course load
as a University student.

An analogy was made to stu-
dent teaching and the 12-credit
hours eamable in experiential
activity, at the University.

In other business the Board
heard from Dr. W. S. Krogdahl
regarding a 1965 Kernel editorial
which displeased him, and au-
thorized The Kentuckian to ex-
plore the possibility of publish-
ing a two-volume yearbook for
the 1967—68 school year.

Tuesday at a sub-committee
meeting held in the Journalism
Building, the members of The
Kernel executive staff, Lee
Becker, Martin Webb, Kerry
Powell, Helen McCloy, Robert
Brandt, and Dick Kimmins,were
interviewed by the committee
to select a new editor for the
Spring semester.

With unanimous staff support
and endorsement, Dick Kimmins,
senior journalism student, was
recommended to the committee
which will submit his nomination
to the full Board at its next
meeting.

and son, Elijah, 8. The awards were presented December 10.

Memorial Services

Set For Thursday

A memorial service for UK
athletics director Bernie A.
Shively, who died Sunday, will
by held Thursday on the UK
campus.

University President John W.
Oswald said the program, which
is open to the public, will be-
gin at 11 a.m. in Memorial Gol-
iseum.

Mr. Shively, a member of the
AthletiCs Department staff since
1927 and director of athletics
since 1938, died unexpectedly of
a heart attack. Funeral services

are scheduled for Wednesday at
Central Christian Church here.

President Oswald said the
Thursday memorial service is
open not only to University stu-
dents, faculty and staff but “to
the friends of Bernie Shively
everywhere."

The program will include spo-
ken tributes by President Os-
wald, basketball coach Adolph
Rupp, football coach Charlie
Bradshaw, and other former close
associates of Mr. Shively.

The coliseum doors will open
at 10:30 a.m.

Courts To Settle
Draft Controversy

United Press International

Justice Department officials
expressed confidence Tuesday
that Selective Service Director
Lewis B. Hershey's crackdown
on draft registrants who take
part in “illegal" antiwar demon-
strations will be overruled in
the courts.

The first such test could come
Thursday, when the US. Dis-
trict Court in \Vashington holds
a preliminary hearing on a corn-
ploint by students’ groups that
(Jen. Hershey's policy violates
constitutional guarantees of frec-
dom of speech and association.

The suit, filed by the National
Student Association and Stu—
dents for a Democratic Society,
seeks a temporary restraining
order against Gen. Hershey
forbidding further reclassifica-
tion of protesters.

So far, 26 suits have been
filed from Boston to Seattle pro-
testing the 74-year—old general's'
recommendation in an Oct. 26
memorandum that draft-age
demonstrators be reclassified
and subject to immediate in-
duction if they interfere illegal-
ly with Selective Service opera-
tions or military recruitment.

In an interview, Gen. Her-
shey predicted he would be up—
held in the courts in his belief
that local draft boards “can still
decide who is violating the law
as well as any jury."

Holds Position

But Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark
disagrees, as it became apparent
after he met with Hershey Mon-
day night. The two had issued

a statement Saturday agreeing
on creation of a special Justice
Department unit to prosecute
law-breaking demonstrators. But
Gen. Hershey said later he still
stood by his earlier position.

Cen. Hershey’s position is
that anyone interfering with
draft operations can be dealt
with by administrative action of
local draft boards. In the case
of college students, for example,
this would mean loss of a draft
deferment, declaration as a “de-
linquent" for violating federal
law and subject to immediate
drafting in a l-A category.

Justice Department officials
considered it likely that drafting
antiwar demonstrators would be
ruled unconstitutional in the
courts, partly because Cen. ller—
shey's concept of “illegal" in-
terference was too broad.

Mr. Clark’s position is that
demonstrators who violate fed-
eral law should be prosecuted
in federal courts and not by
local draft boards.

More specifically, Mr. Clark
believes reclassification is prop-
er only if the Violator does
something that affects his own
status; that is, if he destrbys
his draft card or fails to show
up for induction.

But Mr. Clark believes it is
a matter for action by the
courts, not by draft boards, if
the violator affects someone
else's status; that is. if a dem-
onstrator prevents another stu-
dent from signing up with a
campus military recruiter or
bars a potential draftee from
being sworn in.

UK Artist Wants Students
To Take Advantage Of Him

By JAMES BEAN

In a far corner of the Rey-
nolds Building there’s a studio.
In that studio there’s an artist.
And within that artist is the
wish that “my students would
take advantage of me."

The artist is James Suzuki.
He is here at the University as
an artist in residence. He was
born in Yokohama, japan, and
comes to UK from the Univer-
sity of California, both at Berk—
eley and at Davis.

And he is puzzled by UK.

“What puzzles me here," he
said, “is that the only student
activity which seems to be E.go-
ing on is on campus. At 8
o'clock the whole city is (lead.
I always wonder where the stu-
dents hang around. Here you
have to know where the ac—
tion is."

He contrasted UK with the
\Vest Coast.

“At Berkeley you don’t have
to know where the action is.
You just walk down the streets
and you find it. There are cof-

fee shops and other places
where you can go and meet
somebody you don't meet in
(lasses."

UK Education
Makes Things

Today, not tomorrow or the
next day, is the time to act and
to improve the educational sys-
tem.

As Dr. Richard I. Miller, as-
sociate professor in Education
and Director of the Program on
Educational Change, said, “I
spend my time making things
come true, which teachers just
think but never do anything
about today."

The Program on Educational
Change sponsored by the na-
tional and state governments
and private businesses studies
the aspects of education from a
variety of viewpoints. The
schools, the quality of teachers,
brain research, the criteria for
decision making about educa-
tional systems, non-graded
schools, and the Negro in
American society and education
are a few of the major direc-
tions being explored by this
program.

JAMES SUZUKI

Mr. Suzuki said that in teach-
ing art here he felt the same

kind of frustration. “There is
no museum or art activity in
the city and the only people I
can communicate with on the
art level are in the Department
of Art. It's a great university but
the relation of city to campus
is very limited. It is my impres-
sion that students are protected
in the wall of the University

and don't live as citizens."
In teaching art. \Ir. Suzuki
said that he tries to “respond

to whatever the student wants.”

Professor
Come True

Books have been published.
conferences have been held,
and studies have been explain-
ed which help to understand
the learning process and to in-
itiate the new teaching tech-
niques.

In August, Dr. Miller studied-

the Negroes living in the ghettos
in the United States to gather
material for a national commit-
tee on educating the Negro
population.

At the present, a statewide
study of the schools in Ken-
tucky is being made. This is the
first time that computerized data
has been used to rate the school
systems in each county. The re-
sults of this study will be re—
leased in a few weeks, accord-
ing to Dr. Miller.

He’ said To me technique is
not that important Whatever
movement comes up I like to
talk about the philosophy he—
hind it." I

Mr. Suzuki said that his phil-
osophy is to express a visual
experience. But in teaching here
he feels somewhat limited “I
dont know how it is in other
fields," he said. “But here I
can't send students off to see
what’s going on outside of
school. That’s why I think I'm
here. The whole faculty comes
from somewhere else."

Relating this to Berkeley and
the \Vest Coast, Mr. Suzuki
said, “there the young students
are very conscious of their gen—
eration. They relate everything
that happens to their experi-
ence. Art is part of their living
and that’s what's lacking at Ken-
tucky. My feeling here is that
students come into a class as
just another course that the
teacher is going to feed to
them. I get the impression that
a freshman is so overwhelmed
to be a UK student that he
limits himself only to the realm
of student campus activities."

.\Ir. Suzuki said that one of
the reasons for this is that
there seems to he no mixture
of people on the campus. ”Each
department is very isolated," he
said. “There is no mixture of
people anywhere. The only ones
who go to foreign films, for ex-
ample. are those in a depart-
ment. The only faculty-student
relation is in class. There is no
social level where they can meet
and talk about things. Very few
students take advantage of me.
They come to class, I tell them
what they want to know, and
then they leave."-

is checking over some data collected from research conducted on
monkeys for the biosatellite program carried on at NASA. The
monkeys are presently at the University Medical Center under
isolation measures. Monkeys are an integral part of the NASA
space program Dr. Smith says because they simulate man more
than any other animal.

‘It’s Monkey Time,’
Circadiam Rhythms

In a ramshackle house behind
the Home Economics Building,
a serious affair, “Circadiam
Rhythms," is taking place.

”Circadiam Rhythms," a
study of the change in body
cycles resulting from change in
location, is headed by Dr. R.E.
Smith, assistant professor of the
department of physiology and
bio-physics; it was born with
research funds from the Nation-
al Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration.

The project centers around
the theory that as a person's
body rhythrm or daily cycles
(heart beat, temperature change,
and the respiration process) are
syncopated to one’s time zone,
a change in location will cause
a change in rhythms.

Other participants in the pro-
ject include James Freeman, an
electrical engineering senior and
assistant to Dr. Smith, and mon-
keys (pigtail species), the object
of three-years of intensive study
on body rhythn‘s at the Univer-
sity.

”As you move from one po-
sition on earth to another your
body has to adopt to the local
time," said Freeman.

“We don't know what causes
it, but with each move our body
rhythms change," he said.

”We know rhythm variations
result from the light and dark
cycle and we’re checking on the
effect of gravitational pull and
the magnetic field," said Dr.
Smith.

Dr. Smith said the rhythm
variation from east to west is
striking but that the change in
body rhythrm from a northern
to southern location is nominal.

The question to beconsidered
in “Circadiam Rhythms” is how
and why the human body adapts
said Dr. Smith.

”By subjecting the monkeys
to various tests, such as three-
month isolation periods,’ said
Freeman, “we can measure his
body rhythrm under different con-
ditions and learn about the hum-
an body."

The study is related to the
bio—satellite program carried on at
NASA.

The monkey was chosen for
experimentation because it is
used in the space programcarried
on at NASA, and because the
monkey sinnlates man morethan
any other animal.

Freeman designs the equip-
ment needed for the project and
carries out the daily tasks in-
volved in gettingthe information.
Dr. Smith interprets the informa~
tion.

In January Dr. Smith, Free-
mn, and the pigtail monkeys
will move to the University of
California at Davis to continue
the project.

”At UK we've gotten the base
problems solved," said Freeman.
“We've designed and built the
necessary apparatus. "

“At Davis well be ready to
collect considerably more data, '
he said.

of disparagernant from some people in the
UK community. With this clariﬁcation,
the organization feels ‘that its position,
in face of oppression, will be understood.

Presently, Orgena is concerned with
alleviating this oppression by the middle
and upper class white power structures.
Ore form of oppression at UK, at its
superlative, is the lack of recruitment
of black athletes for the basketball team.

An article in yesterday's Kernel said
that Orgena should be held strictly ac-
countable for recruitment of black ath-
letes when recruiting starts in the spring
because it accuses those in the Coliseum
of discrimination, or not trying hard
enough to recruit black athletes.

It is not Orgena's responsibility to
recruit athletes, as the article yesterday
said; but it is the responsibility of the
UK Athletic Department to recruit them
on criteria in which the color of the skin
is not included. ’

Orgena is not demonstrating for ego-
tistic reasons, or to receive continuous
harassment from whites going into the
games but we intend to elicit a response
of awareness, from the people here in
the University, that the lack of obtain-
ment of black athletes on the basketball
team is_a very' tangible problem, and
something should be done about it.

This problem is not the problem of
Orgena, or the black students; but it
.is one of all students of UK and all tax-
payers of Kentucky. There should be no
problem of racial discrimination in the
sport of basketball to cause Orgena to
have to picket a ball game.

But, Orgena pioneered the way for
opposition to a perpetuating problem
which existed before black people (who
are tax payers) were permitted to attend,
UK. Now that we do overtlyexpress our
frustrations because of the conditions
here at UK, we are called militant.

Whites who oppose the student gov-
emment are not called militant; Whites
who oppose the war in Vietnam are not
called ‘mﬂitant; the newspaper and Bob
Tallent are not called militant for op-
posing Rupp. As long as Orgena never
spoke up to oppose Rupp and the white
power structure, it was an ”OK. group";
but as soon as it expressed sentiments
of dissatisfaction of aspects of UK, sud-
denly it is called ”militant."

If militant means speaking what
should be ours without ask' g, then,

“W University Soap box “as

all people in oppressed circumstances
should be militant. The black students
simply are desiring what is ours.

We are trying other methods rather
than superfluous verbalizing with people
who constantly prevaricate to us, and
postulate that we are going to accept it.
We are not going to be deceived any
more by superficial promises that “things
are going to get better."

Many people have worked harmonious-
ly with the athletic department and'other
organizations; but it has proven to be
fruitless.

Orgena is still willing to work with in-
dividuals, organizations, or any group of
persons at any time or place to help

to eradicate existing problems here at
UK.

In the same previously mentioned ar-
ticle, Rupp said that black athletes could
not get into school. This cannot be true!
U.C.L.A. is just one example of a top
ranked school in the country academical—
ly, and most of it's starting lineup con-
sists of black athletes.

Many other schools whose standards
are at least equal if not higher than UK's
have obtained black athletes. Rupp has
said the SEC standards for sports are
higher than most conferences. Vanderbilt
and Tulane are two SEC schools who
have obtained black athletes, along with
other schools within the state 'of Ken-
tucky.

These athletes are doing well on the
basketball court and in the classroom
whereas there are considerable number of
freshman basketball players to flunk out
of school here at UK.

Sometimes, the recruiters for UK seem -

to desire to have black super-stars and
ball players who excel all other athletes
enormously in the academic area; at other
times, they' appeai as not wanting any of
them. ‘ '

Butch Beard, who plays with'Univer-
sity of Louisville, is a great super-star
in the court and in the books, but UK
could not obtain him.

Of course, UK will not be able to ob-
tain any of them as long as Rupp con-
tinue to stereotype black athletes by say-
ing that all of them are incapable of
getting their work; saying that they want

him to ”bend over backward for them" ‘

and humiliating them by calling them
”colored boys." '

The recruiters shOuld not want just
super-stars; but should recruit black ath-
letes just as white ones.

Orgena is not concerned with having
just a ”Negro" on the basketball team
for the sake of having one as the article
said.

We have a right as taxpayers to de-
mand that sincere efforts be nude in the
recruitment of these basketball players.
Many excellent ballplayers from Lexing-
ton (for example, Robert Washington of
Eastern) have to go elsewhere to play
ball instead of UK attempting to recruit
them. Many ‘of the outstanding black
athletes of last year's NCAA tournament
were from Kentucky; at UK, black peo—
ple have taxation without representation.

Orgena will continue to show opposi-
tion to the present situation until condi-
tions are better.

We will work with other people to
change these conditions of oppression—-
We will continue to protest in some form,
and no means will be considered too

”extreme" to gain what is rightly ours

without asking. . . 5 ' ‘ _ ,‘.

Letters To

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

”Campus Revolution" was the title
of Dr. Charles E. Whittle's talk at the
University Club on November 29th. As
the Dean of the Faculty at Centre Col-
lege, Dr. Whittle described the ”revolu-
tionary process" which led tothe upheaval
of their undergraduate curriculum.

Generally, the text of your reporting
was correct but what a pity that several
meaningful aspects were not presented
because they do provide the "links" in
the confidence expressed by the students
and faculty.

Facts emanatingfrom the accredita-
tion process included ,the high level of
preparatioh of the faculty: 65 percent
have PhDs * from “major" universities
and thatitheir potential, in the tradi-
tional approach to courses and content,
was not adequately challenged. It was
also recognized that the calibre of stu-
dents at Centre College supported inno-
vative teaching.

. The previOus design restricted the stu-
dent to focus one-third of his studies in
his major. Currently, the 15 Freshmen-
Sophomore courses plus 3 "integrated
studiesH are the minimum requirement
which means the individual student has
an individual opportunity to concentrate
in any giVen area for the remaining 20
courses, _ _' ‘ -

The grading system, while it appears

‘ ‘to be casual, is predicated upon testing

the student's achievement with compre-
hensive exams at the Sophomore and Se-
nior levels. When a student encounters
difficulty, a remedial study program is
instituted. Dr. Whittle stated that while
students are in the upper third of their
high schools, as college students graded
traditionally, they fall victim to beingless
good intellectually. This, he
