NSA Ties Aired
At Patio Debate
HELEN McCLOY
Kernel Staff Writer

By

Timet Newt Berries

NEW YORK -- Columbia University Monday became one of
the nation's first major institutions to discontinue the practice
of ranking its students.
The decision to abolish the
maintenance of class standings
meetr
emerged after a
ing of the University Trustees,
the ultimate
body
in the school.
The trustees' action thus
greatly expanded upon the request of the University Council, an advisory group which last
week recommended that rankings of undergraduate students be
withheld from local draft boards.
Class standings are generally
forwarded to graduate and professional schools for use in admission purposes as well as to Selective Service boards. Traditionally, law schools and medical
schools have placed a significant
emphasis upon class rank.
Last spring, Haverford College, Haverford, Pa., voted to
abolish all class rankings. And
two women's schools, Bennington College in Bennington, Vt,
and Sarah LawTence College in

Candidates Sit Around, Talk.
By DEL FUTRELL
Three of the four candidates seeking the
Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor sat around a table in the Student Center Tuesday night and agreed with each
other.
The three, Wendell Ford, A. J. "Andy"
Jolly, and Harry King Lowman, were speaking at a meeting of the University Young
Democrats Club.
All of Uie candidates present favored
education, attracting new industry, better
highways, and mental health. Motherhood
and apple pie were not mentioned.
Asked their positions on lowering Kentucky's legal drinking age to 18, all of the
speakers said they favored the present
limit.
Mr. Lowman, a former speaker of the
Kentucky House of Representatives, sug

gested that the age at which students may
legally drop out of school (now 16) be raised.
"I would like to see Kentucky keep its
boys and girls in school until they reach
the age of 18 or until they graduate from
high school," he said. He maintained that
this step would curb juvenile delinquency
and raise the state's overall level of education.

State Sen. Ford voiced approval of the
suggestion, but noted that some youths
might be forced to drop out before reaching
age 18 to support families or for other valid
reasons. Provisions for tltese cases should be
made, he said, in enacting such legislation.
Campbell County Judge Jolly called the
principle sound, but noted that revisions
would have to be made in Uie schools'
academic programs. "The principal cause of

of NSA's international heritage
when in 1947 25 Americans returned from an international

charged that "the CIA cannot
operate within any organization
run truly democratically and
truly by its own membership.
Only in an organization tightly
controlled from the top, where
a few say what the programs
are and how they are carried

an infiltration occur.

democratic axe troubled by the
nature of the organization said
Rubin, who thinks NSA sees
itself "buying respectability" in
taking money from the federal
government and other institutions.
Rubin, who stimulated much
interest in the U.S. in faculty-cours- e
evaluation, denied a statement by his former colleague that
the eventual break with the CIA
was "part and parcel" of a
change sweeping NSA from 1965
on, when a new president, Philip
Sherburne, decided the affiliation "was wrong on moral and
political grounds" and began to
disengage the organization from
CIA influence.

Kuttner said that before Ramparts revealed the relationship
this Spring, Sherburne had accomplished a 90 percent termination of
activity.
Rubin said the basic lie of
CIA subsidy, known to only the
top four or five NSA people
each year, was compounded,
pending publication of the expose, by denials at an emergency staff meeting, a statement
in The New York Times "admitting the relationship basically but telling a lot of lies,"
and assertions that the CIA had

no control over NSA and that
all subsidy ended in 1967, "which
depends on your definition of
subsidy," Rubin added.
Kuttner said he was appalled
that the press and public failed
to realize the depth of CIA involvement with some 50 organizations. Also fortunate about the
affair, he noted, was that "among
talk of 'padded grants and secret deals, a courageous act by
a number of people gets slanted."
Sherburne, he said, acting to
sever the CIA ties, was under
pressure from the CIA, threats
of a
jail sentence, and
the onus of leading an organi20-ye-

zation to destruction.
Asked if the CIA had any

with their lottery plan, their approach to seeking a rationale for
Student Government is what this
campus needs.
It is ridiculous for the Administration to believe it can take
the University into the Twentieth
Century when the student body
insists on hanging on to its cliches
of the past.
Offering change to all that,
and a serious approach to student
responsibility, Mr. Murrell and Mr.
Wheeler stand as the most impressive candidates and therefore
should be elected Thursday.

.And Beat The Machine
It is fair to say that the average University student has a very
low opinion of Student Government. No doubt this is why David
Holwerk's ludicrous campaign has
achieved such wide following.
It is also quite common to blame
the problems of Student Government on the existing representation
system.
We also believe that inadequate
representation is at the core of

Student Government's troubles but
what is needed is much more than

a new system for selecting members of the Assembly.
Since at least 1962 Student Government has been controlled by the
Machine of
same cliche-ridde- n

Greeks. Litsmiling,
tle serious effort has been made
to bring new ideas or programs
to the campus. Bather, the typical Student Government president
apparently has viewed his job as
merely a stepping stone to state
politics. Hence, we have the origin of the cliche that the "right"
things to do at UK in order to be
governor are to be a member of

Letters To The Editor

Candidates Explain Tlieir Answers To Kernel
To the Editor of The Kernel:
We have been asked several
times to clarify our "official" reasons for running for Student Congress as quoted in the Tuesday
Kernel. Begarding these quotations, we wrote ridiculous answers
to a ridiculous question. How can
individuals state their reasons for
running for Student Congress in a
half-inc- h
blank space?
There is another factor involved.
Anyone who decides to be a candidate is running to win and will

therefore write the usual stereotyped answers as: "I will work

hard," or "I want to create a
better Student Congress" and other
"specific" policy statements of that
nature.
These are the reasons why we
and some of the other candidates
have written more colorful, less
stereotyped, but just as meaningless answers.

in the campaign it had been suggested that the logic inherent in
my platform would warrant my
asking Mr. Swartz to be my running mate.

a name fraternity and be elected
Student Government president.
Although we have indicated our
strong support for the Murrell-Wheelteam, we would be able
to live with any of the candidates
except Sheryl Snyder.
Our primary objection to Mr.
Snyder is not his platform, but
rather that he is The Machine
er

candidate.
Because Mr. Snyder has chosen
to associate himself with The Machine, he must be defeated.
Only by strongly defeating The
Machine now run primarily from
off campus can UK students regain control of their Student Government and play a significant role
in the decision-makin- g
at their
University.
Neither the Administration nor
the students respect the current
leadership for it is widely known
that they are used by The Machine.
It is this type of Student Government that Sheryl Snyder represents, and it is precisely this type
of Student Government the University can do without.
Thus, the defeat Thursday of
Sheryl Snyder would spell the beginning of an emergence of the
UK student as a significant force
in campus affairs.

Carrying this theme a bit farther, some students and faculty
begin to question whether the
grading system itself does not
similarly disrupt the educational
process. Those who do have to
examine exactly what function
grades fulfill.
