UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

JLarnished Hero:
home and after' finishing the last ceremonials of the 'Arab summit meeting,"
Sadat said in somber, sorrowful tones.

By MICHAEL GOLDSMITH
Carnal Abdel
CAIRO
Nasser, for a generation a shining hero
in the violent world of the Arabs, died
Monday of a massive heart attack, Cairo'
radio announced. He was 52.
(AP)-Presi-

dent

His death was a political earthquake
in the Middle East. It came as Nasser
and other Arab rulers were struggling
to deal with the backlash of Jordan's
civil war.
Anwar Sadat, a longtime associate
of Nasser who became vice president last
year and now succeeds to the presidency,
announced the death of his comrade. All
Arab radios immediately switched to readings of verses from the Koran, the sacred
scripture of Islam.
"Nasser was struck by a massive and
severe heart attack after returning to his

'

Not As Moderate
Some diplomats believe Sadat may be
less inclined to moderation but they said
it was extremely difficult to assess the
impact of Nasser's death immediately.
Once Nasser was a leading exponent
of driving Israelis into the sea. In recent
weeks he seemed more moderate, supporting the idea that negotiations on the overall crisis might be possible. This stand
had threatened to tarnish his image among
the most militant of the Arabs.
Now complexity is added to an already complicated picture. The Arab leaders at summit sessions had worked out
hastily an agreement which was supposed to settle the Jordanian violence

the basic conflict

between the Jordanian army and the
Palestinian guerrillas. A truce commission
has been appointed, but its authority has
been couched in ambiguous phrases. Such
an agreement could be far more difficult
to carry out now.

Blow To Cease-Fir- e
Nasser's passing had to be considered
a blow, too, to those who placed hopes
In the current cease-fir- e
arrangements
and the American peace plan formula.
Only Nasser seemed strong enough to
convince militant Arabs that negotiations
would be advisable. King Hussein of
Jordan joined him in agreeing to indirect
talks with Israel under UN auspices, but
Hussein's strength is now in doubt.
An announcer gave this version of
how the Egyptian president died:

dt

"At 3:30 p.m. Nasser was seeing the
Kuwait ruler off at the airport when he
felt dizzy and began perspiring profusely.
"He was taken to his house at Man-shiel Bakry, a Cairo suburb. Doctors
were immediately called in. They diagnosed a severe heart attack as a result of
a coronary thrombosis.
"Doctors tried to relieve him, using
all possible means including a heart beat
regulator. But Cod's will was supreme
and Nasser passed away at 6:15 p.m."
That was 11:15 a.m. EDT. The announcement was made several hours later.
Analysts in Beirut described Sadat as
loyal to Nasser despite recent differences
over the acceptance of the American peace
plan. They said it remains to be seen
whether he will effectively rule as president or become a figurehead for a group
of army officers.

The manager of the Kentucky
theater, Melvin Cateskill, explained that he could have shown
the tape, but that he would have
risked prosecution by either the
state or the city if federal courts
ruled the play obscene.
Cateskill said that his theater
had spent over $1,000 for ad

described the subpoena as "harassment, pure and simple."

Weekly 'Review' Offers 'Truth, 'Lashes at UK

By MDCE MILAM
Kernel Staff Writer
Newspapers and pamphlets
aren't new to UK. Papers ranging
from Lexington locals to underground handouts can be found
almost anywhere.
The newest of the lot. The
Independent Review, has found
its way to campus and offers, it
says, "Truth . . .without fear or
favor. "
Ihe Review, if successful, will
be printed on a weekly basis,
according to Mrs. June Criffin,
and
one of the paper's
a founder of SKEI (Save Kentucky's Educational Institut-

ions).

Favorable Comment
Mrs. Criffin, who edits the
paper with the aid of Randall
W. Byrd and Charles Peace, said
the Review has received "very
favorable" comment since its first
release in Lexington. The newspaper is printed for the three
n

"As far as publishing goes,

"We have enough anonymous

The story said the paper will
"confine its efforts as much as
possible to the activities taking
place in the local area." The
story said that the UK campus,
with its
minority
dedicated to total destruction of
the system," was the area's major problem.
As a result, the Review will
"demand that University officials
deny the use of UK facilities to
any group or individual, either
student, faculty member, or guest
speaker, who advocates bringing
down the system," the story said.
"mob-oriente-

d

ground."

Although the first edition was
devoted mostly to issues and
activities on the UK campus, Mrs.
Criffin said that future issues will
attempt to cover "more citywide
news and sports." She said she

believes the two Lexington dailies
"fall short" in their coverage of
local sports.

Won't Compete
However, there will be no
attempt to compete with the established Lexington papers. "We
wouldn't try," said Mrs. Criffin.
"We're not that big or power-

ful."

The first issue gave apparent
emphasis to the local narcotics
problem. The paper called for
"a thorough probe into the
charges made by the Lexington Narcotics Squad that there
are 2,000 habitual drug users in
and around the University cam-

pus."
On a page labeled "Blue Tail
Fly Swatter," the editors of the
Review printed "for your perusal,
excerpts from a pamphlet distributed widely on the University

of Kentucky campus to students
at the beginning of this school
year.
Parts Cut Out

"Many parts of (the) pamphlet will be blanked out due
to the pornographic nature and
degenerated terminology of the
contents," the editors noted at
the top of the page. The page

was filled with a collage of drawings and articles, most of them
offering advice on how to acquire
drugs or avoid search and seizure
by police.

The Review's front-pag- e
story
said that the paper would see a
"controversial future," but that
"any successes we may enjoy will
depend on to what extent we
convince local residents it is time
to stand up and take some
responsible action against the
problems now confronting us."

Off the Code
To The Editor
I was surprised to find at Wednesday's
lawn party discussion of the Student Code
that we have so soon forgotten last Spring.
Excepting two men, all the speakers
seemed resolved and resigned to quibble
about particular things students may or
may not do. I had hoped we had gone
beyond that. Have we really been lashed
back into line by the intimidations of
the Halls of academia and the Griffins
of hysteria?
What is germane to our seeking revisions in the Student Code is the admission beneath our outrage that we have
acquiesced to the idea that we must
have one. Petitioning for a "specific"
code is an admission of submission. It
is a tacit statement that we have lost
the struggle for human rights, for students too are human.
Aren't we the heirs very apparent to
the Bill of Rights affixed to the United
States constitution? If we are, let's claim
them. Any code of laws, whether student,
community, state, or federal, which disregards those rights is repressive and intolerable. Free men and women will give
no allegiance to them. And if we declare
ourselves free, no law will prevent our
pursuing and exercising our freedom.
After Berkeley, Orangeburg, Columbia,
Kent, Jackson, and Lawrence, where are
we today? Last May no one was asking
what the code allowed, because freedom
for a few days was real while people
acted free. Have we regressed to a protectorate again? The child's world may offer a sort of security, but it doesn't offer
independence.
I hope that if a confrontation arises
we will not scurry to read our Student
Codes but will already know what we
must do as free and responsible people.
Alt ugh the Student Code may threaten
us, let's not allow it to intimidate us. If
we must take chances to exercise freedom,
let it be. The price of accepting subordination to a degrading code may be a
compromise of our humanity.

I suggest that each person map the
geography of his mind and live there.
Codes, for me, are another country. As
E.E. Cummin gs puts it in "I Sing of
Olaf": "there is some s. I will not eat."
Or as he writes elsewhere: "there's a hell
of a good world next door le
