By LINDA MILLS
Kernel Executive Editor
The less than year-ol- d
marriage between the University Student Congress and the United States National
Mudcnt Association may end in a
speedy divorce Thursday night.
Congress President Winston Miller and Vice President
John O'Brien, who have had overwhelming approval
from Congress members of all
programs they have
sponsored this year, have declared themselves in favor
of withdrawal from the national
group.
A bill for withdrawal
is scheduled for final vote
at a Thursday night meeting.
Miller, who pushed through a ban on
political debate in Congress earlier this year, has objected
to the "political" nature of NSA. This, he
stated,
conflicts with the basic purposes of Student Congress,
which he outlined as follows:

Mille r s Pnrnnxex
1. To represent

student opinion to the faculty, administration, and state on matters directly related to the
university.

2. To provide Services to sfndrnts not nrnvidrd
elsewhere.
"Student Congress was conceived to work with the
administration, and this is where its main function
lies," Miller said.
He claimed he would encourage debate on political
issues among students, but not on the Congress floor.
"I think the (political) apathy on this campus is
terrible," Miller said, "but just because we have a
weak atmosphere here and have not taken advantage
of other means for expressing opinion (for example,
political parties), I can't see the rationale of bringing
this into Student Congress.

Beshear Disagrees
But last year's Congress president disagreed. Steve
Beshear, freshman law student and a prime promoter
of NSA affiliation, thinks Congress needs linkage with
NSA for the sake of perspective.
"If Congress would send delegates to the NSA
congresses and workshops, I believe they could gain
a great deal from the interchange with student government leaders at other universities. NSA includes more

Vol. LVIL No. 67

of the large universities than any other organization of
its kind," Beshear said.
Beshear also disagreed with the "political issue"
ban voted in by this year's Congress. "I agree that
Student Congress should not be overrun by involvement
in state politics, but there are times when it is
necessary for student governments to debate and take
stands on 'political' issues," he added.

Not Bound By NSA
Beshear said he did not feel the UK Congress was
bound by NSA stands on political issues and was free
to take an opposite viewpoint.
Miller, however, objects to UK being included
"numerically" as supporters of NSA policies when the
national group functioned as a pressure group. He
also questioned the representativeness of NSA.
"Student government leaders are elected for their
stands on local issues, not according to their views
on political points. These people then become the
delegates to NSA congresses, where policy is set,"
he explained.

UK Post Office Studies
Revamping Mail Service
By FRANK BROWNING
Assistant Managing Editor
A proposed large-scal- e
revamping of University mail service is being studied by the
campus post office and five
offices related to student
life.
Spawned by concern over unauthorized handling of mail, lack
of security in delivery, inefficiency, and the expectation of
more stringent regulations by
U.S. Post Office Officials, the
major changes will probably be
made by the semester's end.
Working together on the project are representatives from the
offices of the Dean of Men and
Women, the office of Auxiliary
Student Affairs,
Enterprises,
Business Services, and the campus Post Office.
Setting up either a single
central pickup station for mail
or continuing general campus
delivery is the key question the
Post Office must deal with.

sub-freezi-

A key change to be considered
is mail delivery in Cooperstown

where one mail box serves three
or four men and packages must
be picked up at the campus Post
Office. Campus mail is handled
by the dormitory counseling staff.
Some large letters and envelopes
in addition to newspapers and
magazines are left loose in unattended lounges.
Paul Nestor, Director-Busines- s
Services, enumerated four
possible alternatives for dealing
with future campus mail:
1. Form a centralized operation where the whole University would come to pick up it's
mail.
2. Continue dormitory delivery while requiring all other students (including sororities and
fraternities) to pick up official
University mail at a central
point.
3. Continue
dormitory delivery while mailing all official
University mail to other students

through the city system as is
done now.
4. Deliver first and second
class mail to dormitories, requiring packages to be picked
up at a central point, then following method two or three.
"Although a central mail
pickup would be perhaps less
expensive," Nestor explained, "it
would be less convenient for the
student, and it's not the service
we want to have."
Even with such a system mail
would continue to be delivered
to individual academic departments throughout the campus,
he continued.
Pressing into the space now
held by the Post Office will be
an expanded computer center
which will force the mail headquarters to locate elsewhere,
Nestor said.
"We're looking for a satisfactory place with reasonable
access which we can operate with

Governor's Commission Seeks
Proposals For School Financing
FRANKFORT

Gov. Edward

T. lireathitt Monday gave

his

newly appointed commission on
financing until Feb. 20
to submit its first recommendation for legislation increasing
teacher salaries in Kentucky.
The commission's 20 members
were told a year would be spent
on
plans for adequate
financing of public schools.
Gov. Breathitt named the commission Friday to combat the
growing financial crisis in state
school

long-rang-

schools.

The governor, acting

t liaii

man

of the commission, said. "We're
going to have to buckle up to
this thing and face it. litis is
not an easy assignment, but it's
as important as can be. 1 thin!;
we can make real progress."
Gov. Breathitt in reply to the
teachers plea for higher sal

aries said. "I get the message.

The teachers have spoken loud
and clear."

He referred to the statewide
teacher walkout, planned for
Feb. 3 and the possibility of
nationwide sanctions I lucklist-inof state schools.
Monday Gov. Breathitt named
three conn littees to study problems involved in school financing and asked them to report on
the "first phase" of their study
within four weeks.
"I think the legislature will
respond if our program is just
and fair," Gov. Breathitt said.
If a special legislative session
reems necessary later ihte vear to
handle further aspects of school
financing, the governor said he
would not hesitate to call one.
Breathitt told the members

that he needed their guidance on
the matter.
"The heat will be on me, since
I'm the chairman," he said.
Gov. Breathitt pointed out
each committee's function:
1. To study the present financial support of education in the
state.
2. To study revenues and possible sources of more funds.
2$.
To study teacher salaries
in Kentucky and elsewhere.
A busy schedule has been
mapped out for the commission.
The governor has meetings set
for every Monday for the next
few weeks. Each committee will
meet individually once a week.
For background the committee will draw on the resources
of the Kentucky Education Department and Revenue Department and probably the National
Education Association.

His velvety voice, only part
of the Mathis Magic, has entranced many an audience and
many a record fan. "Johnny's

by Millboard Magazine as a

in fact; but that's a lot of top
music.
Johnny's latest LP, "The
Sweetheart Tree" on Mercury,
is already number S3 although on
thc Billboard charts for only 16
weeks.
Using as its cover song a selection from "The Great Race,"
next big movie to hit Lexington,
"September Tree" is a unique
collection of tunes from Broadway and Hollywood, with a few-olstandards mixed in.
Tickets to Johnny's Feb. 4
Memorial Coliseum date went
on sale Monday. LKD organizers
expect the Mathis show to match
a
crowd that saw
Peter, Paul and Mary in 1964.
Overwhelmed by Henry Man-cini- 's
melodies, UK and Lexington are primed for additional
sophisticated sounds, and may
just make the concert SHO to
prove it.
Johnny Mathis has a warm
spot in his warm heart for college students and college audiences, for his career began while
he was a sophomore at San
Francisco State College.
Despite constant encouragement from his parents and
friends, Johnny decided to continue his undergraduate studies,
pushing into thc background
nearly seven years of voice study.
Then one Sunday afternoon,
by chance, he attended an informal jam session staged by
friends. He sang a song to the
audience which included a Columbia Records talent scout vacationing in the bay city.

Letters To The Editor

of

tt

Kernels
The ippearanc-- of a single great
genius is more tnan equivalent to
the birth of a hundred mediocrities."
Ccizrc Lombroio
e

The resolution to withdraw from
NSA, as worded at present, does not
stand up to close scrutiny. The only
reason for dissaffiliation listed is the
involment of that body in national
politics. Yet Congress has not pursued
gorously the means open to it to
have this policy reieved. UK has
not taken the issue onto the floor of an
NSA debate; in fact delegates were not
even sent to the last NSA Conference.
Passive compliance to current XSA
policy must be converted to active opposition before such a move is justified. To a casual observer it appears
that UK has not got the guts to speak
out for what it believes in in a possibly hostile environment.
The resolution as it stands precludes
debate on other possible reasons for
withdrawal. Factors such as dissatisfaction with "what UK is getting out
of NSA" appear to play an equally
important part in the demand for
withdrawal yet ethically, since
nothing eke can be debated. If UK
does cbssaffiliate on the basis of the
tabled resolution, it cannot but appear
irresponsible in the light of its essentially negative approach. Any division
to disaffiliate, will, to outsiders, lx
made on the basis of the resolution

the withdrawal
of the University of Kentucky from the
National Student Association, and
urge all the students at this University to do likewise.
The National Student Association is
a myth, and even its name is misleading. How can an organization
which claims to represent less than
of the institutions of higher
in this country, make political

policy divisions and then claim to be
the official United States national

I think that the NSA is NOT a true
representative of the political views
of the majority of the student body at
the University and that our views are
therefore being misrepresented and
abused by NSA. Let us follow Duke

and others, and withdraw from NSA.

Country Editor Landon Wills Fights Bias

By FRANK BROWNING
Assistant Managing Editor
"Too much education and not
enough common sense."
Landon Wills is a weekly
newspaper editor who has been
fighting the stigma of that level
since he moved into th little
farm town of Calhoun, Ky. in
1946.

In Lexington Friday at a Kentucky Press Assoc. meeting, Wills
lectured at UK.

It was in 1946 that he bought
the McClean County News for
a little over $600. The News is
the only paper in McClean

County.
Yet, it's not financially successful.
"I'm an Outsider and I'm still
not accepted," Wills says in
a loud, harsh voice which he says
came from talking to his deaf
father.
d
Though he's a little
now. Mr. Wills was 29
and had just got out of the Army
when he came to Calhoun. The
News, he says, was just "a way
to get started" in journalism before moving on.
Instead of moving on, somehow he "just stayed." Besides
revamping his paper, Mr. Wills
campaigned for a consolidated
school system, higher pay for
teachers, and a hospital.
There was strong opposition
to most of these projects, he said.

"There ain't no man worth

salary of up to $9600 for the
county clerk and sheriff jobs

to teachers with up to four years
of education making $4900.

Withdraw From NSA

Continued From Pare 1
UK, however, sent no delegate to last summer's
NSA congress where policies for the year were adopted,
nor have they made any efforts to change the direction
of NSA involvement in politics within the national
organization.
"If we felt we had some minor difference in philosophy with NSA, we would send a large delegation to
the congress and try to change it," Miller said. He. added
he felt the UK Congress' difference was more than
minor and that he felt efforts to change the direction
of NSA were futile. "Other schools, such as Vanderbilt,
have put a lot of time and effort into trying to do this
but have failed," Miller added. Vanderbilt since has
withdrawn from NSA.

with NSA.
A number of schools have dropped affiliation with
NSA since its founding in 1946, but added memberships
have been greater than drops. The organization now
represents 3,000,000 students.

Backs Student Freedom
Recent issues supported by NSA have included a
vigorous fight for academic freedom for the student.
The idea now has been strongly supported by the
American Civil Liberties Union and the American
Association of University Professors.
NSA exposed the boiling dangers of depersonalization
and suppression in 1960 long before the Berkeley outbreaks. It also has been a strong proponent of increased
financial aid for students with college ability but little
financial backing.
Also a longtime campaign of NSA has been a fight
against curfews for women students.
The organization is also a resource for materials
on all programs of student government.
UK Congress members, however, have complained
that service from NSA in sending out the materials
has been poor. Beshear disagreed, saying Congress
received good service and many useful services from

Miller said his objections were based on the political
involvement of NSA rather than their stands on certain
issues, but
