Futrell predicted that "some policy" changes would be redrafted and submitted by the Trustee Committee to the Board of Trustees before the end of this year. Newsletter The newsletter was to be sent to community college student body presidents and directors, in addition to its distribution to students and interested faculty and administrative personnel at the Lexington campus. Other items cited by Futrell were the extension of the enrollment dates for the Student Government Insurance Plan to Oct. 15, and a survey to be conducted by the SG executive to discover student feelings with regard to what should be the "appropriate balance" among teaching, research and service functions of the University. Draft Status Not Available The Kernel erroneously reported Tuesday that students could receive information concerning their draft status in the Registrar's office. The office does send certification to the local boards that a student is attending the University, but no information concerning individual classifications are returned to the Registrar by the boards. The Kernel was notified Wednesday that the information was incorrect. War moratorium preparations were the topic of discussion at Kernel Photo by Dick War IoOU Minerals Dr. John Morgan, right, and Dr. William D.

You, Me And The LPD The presence of Lexington police on the UK campus pos,es a question that should require little deliberation. Is there any legitimate need for these officers, and does not their presence cause more harm than good? It has been conclusively shown that Lexington police detectives are circulating on campus in the guise of students. When asked why they were here, two of these men made various excuses, saying they were merely stopping by during their off duty hours. This was later found to be false. Police authorities admitted that some of their men were enrolled in University classes in order to observe the happenings on campus. The Student Affairs office, however, denied that to be the case in those incidents in question. All this makes for a disgusting, but interesting view of the Lexington Police Department and its connection with the Student Affairs office. There can be little doubt that the University community is one of the more disciplined areas in this country. In addition, the campus police force has men who keep a close eye on the campus scene, both when they are in and out of uniform. Still the LPD feels obligated to force its "protection" upon a community that neither needs nor wants that concept of protection, and the Student Affairs office tolerates this situation. The supreme irony of the situation is the state of order on the UK campus compared to that which the LPD is leaving to patrol the campus. Lexington is consistently among the American cities with the highest per capita crime rates. While this situation of lawlessness is predominant off campus, the University has been sheltered from the mood of the city. Last spring a campus officer admitted that one gun of the campus policemen had been fired only once in the past thirty years. Why then does the LPD feel obligated to leave the city to piddle in University affairs? The officers who have been spotted on campus have been young and alert. These are the type of policemen we. need, more of. But surely they can find a rewarding avenue of adventure somewhere else. The young Sherlock Holmes role can do nothing but harm the image of the LPD at the time it needs public support most. A larger issue at stake is the separation of the University and the community. Many obvious factors make the University partially independent of the Lexington community. UK must keep its own grounds, provide its own communications system and protect its own inhabitants while they are on University property. When the LPD is called to a University owned housing unit they do not hesitate to refuse service, saying the University has provisions for such things. By the same token, why can the University not be allowed to control drug traffic itself, if and when it occurs on University property? The presence of Lexington policemen constitutes an obvious case of fraud. A fraud perpetuated on students who have usually done nothing to deserve such a deprivation of truth. Dishonesty in any community can hardly be condoned, in an academic community it is repugnant. The LPD has obviously confused their ends with dishonest and deceitful means. d The campus police force is and evidently capable of handling most situations that arise. It seems the only rationale for the LPD' action is that it is in need of a few sensational arrests, a few more 'UK Students Arrested On Drug Charges" headlines. Has our city police force become that pubwell-traine- licity hungry? It should be obvious to anyone who has been around the campus more than a few hours that the LPD is stretching to find an issue in order to milk it for all it's worth. If there is a sufficient number of students engaged in drug transportation (there has been no reason to believe this to be the case), they are not blatantly passing it about classrooms. In fact, the LPD would be hard pressed to find any cases of drug illegalities whose nature was found by their detectives on campus.- - The presence of city policemen on campus does a great deal to destroy the academic atmosphere which should be a part of any legitimate University. A professor whqmust carefully survey his class for sight of an undercover agent and a student who must guard his conversation for fear oftalkingwith a police officer can not help but feel hampered in a community of supposedly free men. Academic freedom must entail freedom of expression and knowled gable association, as well as freedom of thought. This is not yet the age of Big Brother and his agents who must watch our every move for a report to the state. Or is it? The Student Affairs office must be strongly criticized for its lacka- daisical attitude in this matter. Surely Dean Hall was not unaware of the events prior to the public announcement that police officers were on campus without Invitation from the University or notification given to the University., It often seems the city of Lexington is paranoid in regard to the use of marijuana. The LPD has ceitainly done nothing to lessen this exaggerated view of pot users, nor has the sensation seeking press. It's about time our city police department concentrated more of its talent on making Lexington a safe place in which to live, and less of it in personal, publicity-seekin- g arrests. Kernel Forum: the readers write EDITOR'S NOTE: Hie following is a copy of a letter recently sent to President Singletary. Dear Sir: I am writing this letter mostly because I hate to leave anything "hanging;" and, therefore, it may be only for my own personal satisfaction. However, I felt that I should state that I have given up my attempts to see you. I would also like to make several observations. First, let me say that I hope you will excuse me for the inconvenience of calling you at Maxwell Place on a Saturday night. I only hope that you realize that I felt there was a certain principle at stake, regardless of the importance of me or my business. Since I can probably predict your reactions to my questions ("We always lose"), I will not take up any more of your time. I followed your advice and talked to Stuart Forth about the questions I had concerning the Free University. As is always the case, Dr. Forth was most cordial and attempted to answer my questions as well as possible. As I expected, however, he was able to give me no more than his personal opinion on a couple of major points, saying that the final decision rested with you and that he could only guess what your reaction would be. He did assuie me that he would talk with you about these questions and that I could check with him for the results. , Since he basically disagrees with my positions, I doubt that Dr. Forth will somehow bring himself to represent them with the same zeal and enthusiasm which might be desirable. I would also question Miss Wilson's statement that the Free University issue is dead. I am not sure just who Vkills" issues on this campus, but If Wilson, I am afraid she is in 'need of a more potent weapon. Or perhaps Miss y Wilson doesn't "kill" the issues, but them dead on arrival at pronounces the President's office. Regardless,' this violation of student rights is far from dead on some parts of this campus, even if Tim Futrell has turned his attention to refrigerators, which are higher or his list of priorities. In closing, I would only like to urge you to at least occasionally attempt to gain a broader view of student opinion than that which is represented by Mr. Futrell, your advisory committee and Dr. Forth. I realize that your time is extremely valuable, but the cancellation of a speech school once to a in a while might give you the opportunity to spend some time with other University of Kentucky students. The result could be the prevention of something neither you nor I want to see on this campus.
