OCSA Attacks

New Housing
Requirement

Off Campus Student Associa-
tion circulated some 1,900 letters
in residence halls Thursday urg-
ing students to protest the Uni-
versity's new two-year housing
requirement.

The movement, headed by
OCSA President Thom Pat Juul,
apparently was spurred by a
statement in the 1967-68 Student
Handbook that “freshmen stu-
dents are expected to live in resi-
dence halls and in 1968 sopho-
mores will also be expected to
live in residence."

There was speculation last
spring that the University would
pass a two-year housing rule,
but the first official announce-
ment appeared in the handbook.

Not Enough Facilities

However, Robert L. Johnson,
vice president for student affairs,
said Thursday night that ”unless
some facility miraculously ap-
pears," the University will be
unable to enforce the require-
ment next fall.

The OCSA letter said, ”The
UniVersity administration is go-
ing to screw you again if you
don't do something soon!"

It urged students opposing
the new mle to attend a general
meeting at 7:30 pm. Monday in
Room 245 of the Student Center.

"The administration sup-
posedly has given up the idea
of being a parent so the only
reason possible for a twocyear
forced housing rule is to fill
empty space or to justify build-
ing new dorms," the letter said.

Mr. Johnson said the housing
requirement does not contradict
the University's attempts to
abandon the ”in loco parentis"
theory of student-administration
relations. He said the idea of a
residential university is aimed
at the academic life of the stu—
dent.

"It has nothing to do with
the student's personal behavior,"
he added. "The new student
code already takes care of that."

 

 

F aculty-Student Night

A physical science professor talks with students at the Delta Zeta
sorority house Thursday during Faculty-Student Night. Some 20
professors of physical sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences
were present for infomial discussions with students. Professors in
other departments met at other sorority and fraternity houses.

 

New Berea President

Pledges Help For Poor

. From Combined Dispatches
BEREA—Berea College was repledged Thursday to serving Ap-
palachia's needs by its new president, Dr. Willis D. Weatherford Jr.

In his inaugural speech, Dr.
Weatherford said Berea has had
an historic connection with and
service to the region. He also re-
jected the idea of Berea's join-
ing the rminstream of education
”if this means dropping our corn-
mitment to the Appalachian re-
gion and its special problem.”

Dr. Weatherford, formerly the
dean of Carlton College in Min-
nesota, became the sixth presi-
dent in a ceremony attended by
delegates from 190 institutions of
higher learning, professional so-
cieties, foundations and Appala-
chia-oriented schools and agen-
cies. The school has a student
body ofjust 1,600.

Wednesday night, former
North Carolina Cov. Terry San-
ford praised Berea as the school

that has ”best fulfilled'the 'tlfree
purposes of a higher education
institution — research, teaching
and public service."

Mr. Sanford, father of the
Compact for Education afier com-
pleting his term as governor of
North Carolina in 1%4, said ed-
ucation was the means by which
a revolution would be wrought
in American life.

The War on Poverty, he said,
is basically an educational pro-
gram—one that seeks to show
people how to break the poverty
cycle.

He encouraged educators to
take heart from Berea and depart
from ”orthodox methods of ed-
ucation" where appropriate and
to remember that ”service to peo-
ple is the heart of education."

Oberlin Demonstrators

Pin Recruiter In Car
In Latest War Protest

UPI-CPS Dispatches
OBERLIN,Ohio—More than 1(X) Oberlin College peace demon—

strators pinned a Navy recnriter in his car for four hours Thursday
in protest of the Vietnam War and military recruiting on campus.

The Oberlin incident is the
latest in a series of demonstra-
tions which have occurred on
campuses across the country dur—
ing the last two weeks.

Oberlin students plan to con—
tinue their protest Friday with
a boycott ofclasses which appears
to have wide-spread support. The
strike will serve as a protest to
the war as well as an appeal
to the college administration to
revise the policy which permits
military recruiters to use college
facilities.

Police fired a tear gas and
water barrage to break up the
demonstration. The demonstra-
tors, almost all students, scat-
tered under the double fussillade
{after refusing to obey police com-
mands to disperse.

There were no arrests.

Several students were treated
for inflamation of the eyes and
others suffered bruises and torn
clothing in the rush to evade the
gas and water. There were no
serious injuries

The recruiter, Lt. Cmdr.

CE. Smith ofCrosse Ile, Mich,
said he was treated weir by me

students but that the intensity of
the demonstration surprised him.

“I’ve run into demonstrators
before but never to this extent,"
he said.

Smith said students gave him
coffee and doughnuts during his
entrapment.

The incident began about 9
am. when a group of students
met the recruiter on the out-
skirts of town as he was driving
to the campus. Students on mo-
torcycles and in cars followed the
recruiter's car until they were able
to stop it on a state highway
near the center of the campus.

More than 100 persons encir-
cled the car, trapping the Navy
recruiter in it, until about 1:15
pm. The demonstrators blocked
half of one of Oberlin's main
thoroughfares.

Two other recruiters, Lt.

(J.-C.) P. McCaffrey and Petty Of-
ficer William Wynder, both or
Cleveland, escaped detection of
the waiting students and entered
the campus without incident.
They set up shop in the Student
Union Building but had no en-
listees Thursday.

SC Election
Bill Delayed

Student Covemment delayed
action Thursday on a representa-
tion bill designed to elect half
the assembly at large and the
other half proportionally on the
basis of population.

After nearly two hours debate,
the assembly adjourned until 15
minutes before next Thursday's
regular meeting. The bill, re-
ported favorably out of commit-
tee, was defeated by a 16-6 vote,
but a motion to reconsider it
passed.

Basically, the bill proposes
five executive councils to be au-
tonomous bodies representing
five areas of campus organization.
Each organization would be
given a seat on one ofthe coun-'
oils—academic, athletic, politi-
cal, service and communications.

The measure also would elect
16 representatives at large and
16 from major campus divisions,
these seats being allocated pro-
portionally, on the basis of pop-
ulation, to fraternity and sorority
houses, south central domritories,
north central dormitories and off
campus students.

One representative would be
elected for each 1,000 students
giving fraternities and sororities
one vote apiece. North central
dorms, all dorms outside the com—
plex and south central dorms
would get three votes apiece and
off-campus students eight votes.

The assembly now is com—
posed of 23 representatives

Campaign ’67: Education Is Foremost Issue

Students Most Affected
By Decisions: GOP’S Nunn

By LEE BECKER

Republican candidates and party campaign leaders have put

special emphasis this campaign on the importance of getting their
message across to the college student.

A number of programs ap-
pealing especially to the college
student have been proposed,
and, in terms of actual number
of lines, more attention has
been given to education in the
platform than to any other sub-
ject.

And almost every speech
gubernatorial nominee Louie B.
Nunn makes, regardless of the
audience, has some reference to
the state's youth and education.

"The adults of tomorrow are
the students of today,” he says.
“They are the ones our decisions
are going to affect most."

Mr. Nunn says that students

should share in this decision
making, and has proposed a
"non—political” Student Advisory
Commission for this purpose.

Members of this commission
would be elected by the student
bodies of the colleges and would
meet with the governor to ex-
press criticism and ideas.

Student On The UK Board

Mr. Nunn said that he did
not oppose giving students a
voting seat on the University
Board of Trustees, but thought
the students would be better

College Doesn’t Educate,

Democrat Ward Declares

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN

Henry Ward did not go to college following his graduation from
Paducah Tilghman High School in 1928.

Instead, he worked as a news—
paperman in his home town for
20 years, and then jumped into
a new field—politics.

That jump has led to 14 years
in the General Assembly, a term
in the United States Senate and
the jobs of commissioner of con—
servation and commissioner of
highways.

And now he is the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor.

Mr. Ward's running mate,
Wendell Ford, isn't a college
graduate, either, but their COP
opponents, Louie B. Nunn and
Thomas Ratliff, both have law
degrees.

This might appear to give the

Republicans an advantage, since
education —- both on the high
school and college level — has
emerged as one of the foremost
issues in the current campaign.

But Mr. Ward doesn't think
so.

"It is known among educators
that graduation from college or
having a doctor's degree gives
you an opportunity to be edu«
cated," he says. “It doesn't edu-
cate you. If you stop then, in
about two years you're com-
pletely behind time and com-
pletely uneducated."

Mr. Ward believes his lack of

represented through the Advis-
ory Commission.

“I could not put enough stu-
dents on the Board of Trustees
to control the outcome of any
decifion that the board might
make," he said.

If a student were granted
seat on the board, Mr. Nunn
said he should be elected by
the student body.

University President John
Oswald has expressed his dis-
approval of granting students
Board seats.

Mr. Nunn said he plans to
take an active part in the actions
of the Board of Trustees of the
University. He would become
chairman of that board as Gov-
emor.

"I'm not planning on dominat-
ing the board,” he said. "But
I'm planning on participating
and being a part of that board
to such an extent that those
things that need to be a part of
the University can be acc0m-
plished."

Mr. Nunn said he would an-
point to the board people who

are concerned about the Uni-
versitv rather than using the
appointment as a political re-
ward.

UK, UL Sisterhood

Mr. Nunn has supported
bringing the University of Lou-
isville into the state system, but
he said he isn't sure just now
how it will be done.

“People in Louisville don't
want U of L to be a sister to
the University of Kentucky and
I don’t know if the University of
Kentucky wants to be a sister
or not, but I assume they don't,"
he said.

“But students from Jefferson
County should be entitled to
tuition rates at the University of
Louisville comparable to what
they have at other universities,"
he said.

Mr. Nunn graduated from
U of L Law School in 1950.
He attended undergraduate
classes at the University of Cin-
cinnati.

Maine Chance Not An Issue

Both candidates have said
that the University's purchase
of Maine Chance Farm is not
an issue of the campaign.

“My position is that if it is
illegal, it is illegal, and the state
should not engage in illegal
activities."

Mr. Nunn said he would take
steps to make sure that the
UK Research Foundation, pur-
chasers of the farm, “acts within

the confounds and limitations

in which they were created.”

Mr. Nunn said that he would
protect the budget of the Uni-
versity in the assembly next
spring from ill effects of the
farm purchase.

“I don't intend to let the
school suffer because of Maine
Chance or for any other rea-
son,” he said. “You don’t
penalize people for wrongs if
wrongs have been committed.
You go ahead and correct the

wrongs."
‘I Believe In Academic Freedom
. . . But’
The issue of freedom of

speech on the University campus
and speaker ban laws has arisen
at many times during this cam-
paign. All three of the candi-
dates for governor have said
they favor some sort of speaker
restriction.

“I believe in academic free-
dom," Mr. Nunn said. “I be-
lieve in freedom of speech of
anyone who wants to come onto
the campus and who has some-
thing constructive and educa-
tional to offer."

“I have no desire for those

Depends on the giant. Actually, some giants are just regular

people to come onto the campus
who come there with the idea
of trying to create disturbances
or advocating any philosophy
which would disrupt the peace
and tranquility of the college
community.”

Mr. Nunn said, however, that
it would not be his decision
alone as to who could speak on
campus. The Board of Trustees
and University administrators
would be “in a position to make
judgments.”

The decision should be based
on “whether the speaker is there

to educate or there to disturb,"

he said.

Would Not Have Allowed
Braden

Mr. Nunn said had he been
governor, he would have op-
posed allowing Carl Braden,
director of Southern Conference
Educational Fund, to speak on
campus.

Mr. Braden, who was indicted
this fall for sedition in Pike
County, spoke before a Student
Bar Association forum in the
Law School Oct. 9.

“I feel that any knowledge
he (Mr. Braden) might have
would be knowledge that is
available to professors who are
being paid to teach.”

In speeches around the state
Mr. Nunn has given his support
to the following programs for
higher education:

0 Establishing a placement
service for students seeking
summer and post-graduate em-
plovment.

O Granting state income tax
credit for all families with chil~
dren in institutions of higher
learning. He has said that this
also would apply to students
paying their own way through
school.

0 Granting free summer
school tuition at any state in-
stitution for teachers engaged
in graduate study relevant to

their field.

I Granting state income tax
credit for businesses and in-
dividuals providing scholarships
or funds for state universities
or colleges.

0 Establishing a vacational
school on the college level, pos—
siblv through the Community
College system.

a Establish a school of vet-
erinary medicine at UK.

0 Establishing a four-year
forestry school at UK.

said the polling will be held in
the Student‘Center from 9 am.
until 3 pm. He said any other

kinds of guys. Except bigger.
And that can be an advantage.
How? Well, for one thing, you‘ve got more going for

tive decisions. And you‘ll know how these decisions affect
the guts of the operation. At the grass roots. Because you‘ll
have been there.

 

 

political organization on campus
is invited to participate in the
election.

“We're going out of our way
to make this election fair,"
Driesler said. mThe Student Cen-
ter Board will supervise the
election if the Young Democrats
participate," he added.

Driesler said the Young Be-
publicans had tried to schedule
a mock election co-sponsored
with Young Democrats, but the
YDs had not committed them-
selves to anything.

He said Young Democrats
will be welcome at the poll.

 Those Fa bl ed Tests

At a secret meeting held in the assembly hall at Flies Interna-
tional in Buffalo, New York, it was decided that flies had for too
many years ignored the question of the haeafter. As Geoffrey Osgood
Deveraux, president of F IA (Flies’ International Association) stated
repeatedly, “Humans have a Being who looks after them when they
diel Why shouldn’t we have one too?”

“But where did He come from? Where did they get Him?,” asked
several of the younger flies in the auditorium.

"I guess they elected Him,” Geoffrey replied.

And so it was that an election was held that very night in the
assembly hall of Flies International in Buffalo, New York, and Geoffrey
Osgood Deveraux was unanimously elected to be the guardian of the
spiritual afterlives of flies everywhere. Rather than refer to him as
Ceofirey, the flies contracted his name to form his initials: He was
now COD of the flies.

THE FLY WHO WAS COD

Late in the night within the Celestial City arose a clamor of great
magnitude. Someone'was seeking admission to Heaven in terms of less
than strictest secrecy.

As COD approached the pearly gates, he saw that the source of this
disturbing situation was a young, nervous fly whose life obviously had
been untimely plucked from him, yet no feelings of pity or sorrow arose
within the breast of the Almighty.

"Lemme in, I wanta get into fly Heavenl,” cried the young fly in
distress.

COD, in all his omni-patience, smiled. ”Well, now, young fella,
we don’t actually know if you’re worthy of admittance, now, do we?
Look at those shoddy clothes!”

”Look up my recordl,” shouted the fly.

”Unfortunately,” snified COD, ”you woke me up at such an ungodly
hour that I forgot to bring the record book with me. Have you taken
God’s Resurrection Exam?”

“."Yeah

“What was your percentile ranking?"

“79...

Hrnrnm. Your score?”

”Hmmm. Three points low . . . How about the Christian's Evangeli-
cal Examination of the Bible? The Sinners’ Atonement Test? The New
Testament Examination?"

“Man, I’ve had ’em alll,” cried the fly piteously. ”I’ve led a good
life, I said my prayers every night, I’m dead, and I’m ready for my
eternal reward!”

“All in good time,” smiled Ornnibenevolence. “When did you take
COD’s Resurrection Exam?”

“1 don’t know, seven or eight years ago.”

”Goodnessl," exclaimed Goodness Himself, ”I’m sorry, but we throw
the scores away after four years!"

“Well, I’ll be damnedl,” said the exasperated young fly.

”If you'll go to the end ofthe gate here and turn left," said COD,
”you’ll find a stairway. Go down until you come to the end of the
stairs, and . . . "

”1‘ do it,” interrupted the fly angrily as he walked away, “but
I’d like to know where in Hell it’ll get me!"

As the fly got to the top of the stairs, COD whipped cut a long-
nosed revolver with a silencer on the end, shot the young fly six times
in the back for good measure, and pushed him down the stairs to the
fiery depths waiting below. COD turned around and ambled very slowly
back to the Gates of Paradise. "Next,” he called, to nobody in par-
ticular . .

MORAL: The function of flies is to provide meat for the flyswatter.

The great peace demonstration must
have come as a bit of a shock to the gen-
erals inside the Pentagon; after years of
unparalleled progress in the fine art of
world depopulation, the brass could only
have been dismayed to see thousands of
Americans announcing loudly and dis—
respectfully that they would just as soon
live. To the generals, eye deep in ”kilo—
tons" and “megadeaths,” such announce-
ments must seem little short of treason.

After all, hasn’t the United States for
almost twenty years devoted over half of
its income to finding new and rmrvelously
efficient ways of killing people? And
haven’t the generals loyally created what
are certainly the greatest and the most
magnificently effective instruments of
death the world has ever seen? And now,
when for the first time in history world
suicide is technically feasible, are there
going to be some who will stop at the

brink? They must be Communists.

But to those of us old-fashioned en-
ough to hope that man can end his dis-

putes without ending himself, the peace
demonstration, marred though it was bya
few hotheads on one side and the usual
obtuse militarism on the other, was at
least a hopeful sign. Perhaps we are en-
tering our OWn period of ”de-Staliniza-
tion." Perhaps we will soon realize, as the
Russians have seen forced to, that neither
communism nor capitalism is bound to
inherit the earth. Like it or not, the Reds
are less Red and the Whites less white
than they were when Stalin was alive.
Both sides are going to have to share
the same planet for some time yet. It’s
the only one we've got.

Of course, sanity is still a long way
off. There are still far too many who de
fine ”love of country" as “until death do
.; oart." For these people, thepartingcan

strations throughout the nation are people
who for one reason or afiother prefer the
emotional stimulus of violence to life.
Some, certainly, are sincerely convinced
that somehow North Vietnam poises a
military threat to America; somehonestly
believe in spite of all evidence to the
contrary that we are really defending the
Vietnamese when we bomb their villages
and poison their crops. Others, though, are
rmrching for less visible reasons of their
own.

War always attracts the dissatisfied,
the inadequate, and the profit seeking. It
is easy to hide petty personal hatreds in
the great impersonal hate bred by war.

I wonder just how many eyes, legs, arms,

and lives must be lost to keep that
”support.” Our men are brave and ideal-
istic, but very young. It’s hard for them
to believe that the American people have
sent them to fight for a cause not worthy
of their courage.

From our secret support of the French
attempt at reconquest until now, we have
been fighting in the name of ”demo-
cracy" and ”freedom" to establish asatel-
lite government in South Vietnam that
neither the South nor the North will
tolerate. We have violated the 1954 treaty
we swore to honor, and for the free elec-
tions that the treaty called for we have
substituted the rigged elections of our
Saigon puppets, who always win by 80
percent of the vote.

In short, from the beginning our war
in Vietnam has been waged to uphold
deceit and tyranny, and now we are
calling our "boys" to die for a fake demo-
cracy in a primitive nation half way
around the world. No less than l(Xl,(X)0
of our men are already dead or wounded,
and the total is increasing more rapidly
now than it was two years ago.

How can we ever face the men re-
tuming from Vietnam knowing that we
have sent them to fight and bleed and
suffer for a lie?

Letters To The Editor

 

Soccer, Off Campus Student Association

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

(This is the second letter in a series
of three letters to be written about the
soccer team.)

And then there is the Athletic De-
partment aid which the soccer team re-
ceived recently. Mr. Shively, we truly
thank you. Personally, there are a few
facts that the student body fails to rec-
ognize and which I would like to point
out.

The SEC is now ”fostering” soccer
teams somewhat, since this sport seernsto
have attracted some national attention
recently. At UK, there is vast student
resource potential just in the numbers of
foreign students here at the University.
But, as one soccer player recently in-
formed .me, he was unable to go to the
SEC championships because of lack of
personal funds, something that repre-
sented the flimsy bid of those strong
individuals who have decided to stick it
out until we get varsity recognition.

Furthermore, what UK stude
