Dillard House Still Communal Experience
By TOM BO WD EN

Kernel Staff Writer
Dillard House is a sort of'fratority" without a house-mothe- r.
And, as the residents of the house are first
to admit, people will talk about such an arrangement.
But public opinion doesn't seem to be of
primary
importance to the inhabitants of Dillard House. "Our
policy is that everyone should do their own thing,"
said one of the male residents during the daily communal
evening meal.

one another." This year, he stated, people will be
evicted if they "get bad."
One male inhabitant stated that the house has two
rules: "The last one to go to bed shuts up the house
and turns out the lights, and no dope on the premises."
Dillard House is rented from the University of Kentucky, and its residents are hoping that next year the
University will not tear it down "to build a parking

lot."

Besides the fee of $1G0 per semester for living in
Dillard, the residents pay little for food a five dollar

During the sessions, Taylor said, the residents are
encouraged to vent their frustrations and to say what
they think about their neighbors, to their neighbors.
"Love and hate are two sides of the same coin,"
he explained. "It is impossible to have love without
hate. The idea of Christian. love flowing everywhere"
is not workable, Taylor added.
He noted also that residents of Dillard have certain
things in common, most notably, "social action."
"Whether it be the SDS, Free University, tutoring
Blacks, or tutoring Whites," the residents participate
in some sort of community action.
No "Mixed" Sleeping
No married people now live in Dillard, although
Taylor conceded that there is no rule that prohibits
them. The residents also maintain that there are no
"mixed" sleeping situations.
Taylor said the Unitarian Church of Lexington
sponsors the house.

the summer in rather strange surroundings.
Drummer Tom Miller's family

killed the bugs and rats and
'crawly critters, moved our
equipment in there and lived
and practiced in the barn. Every

wander in and stink up the joint,

Free University Serves Students
As Forum For Learning Exchange
By BILL MATTHEWS
Assistant Managing Editor
"There are forums for almost
any interest except for those
whose interests are ideas. There's

no forum for people whose hobby
is the exchange of learning," said
Dr. Harry Barnard, describing
a problem in higher education.
Attempting to solve this problem, a group of UK faculty and
students launched a Free University last week. Nearly 50 stu-

"The idea is an old one,"
said Spud Thomas, a Kansas
City graduate student in education who helped get the UK Free
U. started.

Applications are now being accepted for the fall election of the
Student Government Assembly.
Thus far there has been little publicity in regard to the deadline
date, few candidates have made
themselves known, and only a minute amount of interest has been
shown.
Student Government can have
a great influence on many things
that affect, often unfavorably, the
everyday life of all students. It
doesn't take much effort to make
one's opinions known on campus
issues; it takes a great deal more
to do something about them. This
is the opportunity afforded by participation in the UK Student Government.
On a campus which is so strongly in the grip of apathy, it is often
easy for one to be discouraged in
his efforts to improve his environment. This fall's election will serve
as the first yardstick in measuring
the presence of apathy on our campus. It is now the duty of those

able for election.
The quality of past SG representatives has been notoriously
poor. Student Government meetings have often been the scene of unabashed foolishness. Those representatives who have had something
worthwhile to propose have often
been thwarted in their attempt by
a majority of egocentric colleagues.
It is unfortunate that the election rules exclude freshmen from
running. However, there should

Student Government should com-- ,

in the Thursday, August 28th issue on
page 5 pertaining to student insurance.
In this article Mr. Futrell stated that
the Student Government plan of insurance is "the only sanctioned student
plan." I personally contacted Mr. Futrell
and asked him to correct this error. He
admitted the statement was wrong and
misleading but refused to take any measures to correct it. His reasoning was
that the editorial ("Uncle Tim") in the
Kernel was also in error. This logic is in
keeping with decisions and statements
made by Mr. Futrell in the past. In
order to set the record straight, I would
like to state that the insurance plan offered by the Craduate Student Association is indeed approved by the University.
I am glad to see that the e
