Americans Hard To Know
British Give Frank And Candid Views Of America
By MARILU DAUER
Kernel Staff Writer

Two UK exchange students
from England were quite frank
and candid in their views of
America.
"Once you get to knew them
(Americans), they will assist
you in any way they possibly
can. But it's getting to know
them. People ar far more difficult to meet here than in England."
So agree two Englishmen

Tony Pearce-BatteLondon,
a sociology major, lias been
studying in the U.S. since last
fall.
David R. Watson, Chesterfield, here for the spring semester, will enter Oxford University
in the fall to continue his engineering study.
English Drink Earlier
Entertainment in England has
a somewhat different slant than
in America, according to David
and Tony.
The Britishers pointed out

The English university has societies, which are not closed, and

contended.
"There is a greater stress on

David and Tony. They believe
there are reasons for this. England has a definite class system.
They say America does not have
such a definite system, but it
does have a money-clas- s

"In both countries there is inequality," they added.
"In America there is greater

Wants Ratio Reversed
Presently the board consists
of six faculty members and three
students. Futrell said he would
like to see this ratio reversed,
and that instead of having the
board appointed through the
University president, the nominations come from an SG committee and from himself.
In relation to Bright's first bill,
which establishes the appeals
board in place of the administration as the final decision-makin- g
body in determining recognition
of campus organizations. Futrell
said he tried to accomplish the
same thing seven months ago.
As a member of the Board of
Trustees' committee on Student
Code revisions, Futrell said he
set forth the proposal to throw
power to the appeals board. His
proposal was rejected by the
trustees' committee.
If Bright's bill is passed by
the SG Assembly, Futrell said
he would take it back to the:

Even ifit had not been for
Hoffman's stellar performance,
"Cowboy" would bear mention

* THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Tuesday, Feb.

Caudill Says Planet Dyin
By ELAINE RORERTS
Kernel Staff Writer

Commenting on Luigart's plea

that we "lay aside

"It's been gouge, gut, git and
get out," Harry Caudill said in
his speech on strip mining Monday night.
Addressing an audience of
about 800 persons in the Student Center Ballroom, he said
"strip mining is a barbaric rape
of the earth" and the "urgency
leaves no time
. of the situation
for maneuvering".
"We can drift easily and
sleepily, on to extinction as we
are now," he remarked, "but if
we are to survive we must move
quickly because this planet lias
legun to die and the disease
that is killing it is far advanced."
Kentucky Emigration Discussed
Saying that people think Eastern Kentucky is a "poor land
peoples with an impoverished
people," Caudill, a UK Law
. School
graduate and a practicing
attorney in the state, said there
are "immense capabilities in
Eastern Kentucky land."
"All Appalachia is one of the
greatast natural resources on the
face of the earth," he said.
that Kentucky
Remarking
"doesn't have a single acre that
doesn't grow something," Caudill admitted that over a million
Kentuckians have left the state
during the last 20 years in the
greatest outmigration the world
has ever known."
"Eastern Kentucky is devastated and depopulated," he
said, "and the people who
abandoned their homes here are
now living in the ghettos of
Cleveland and Chicago."
Friend Of The Earth
Calling himself a friend of the
earth, Caudill, the author of two
books on Appalachia,- refuted
almost point for 'point every
argument in favor of strip mining voiced by Fred Luigart.
Luigart, Kentucky Coal Company president, addressed last
Monday's Environmental Awareness Seminar.
"Coal is the Black Brute of

Industry,"
said, "and now it has hired itself

man, Fred Luigart, a good friend
of mine and a man who once
wept for the plight of the land."

ism," Caudill said that "you
can't look into the face of extinction widiout being just a

little

upset"

'Stripping Murdering Mountains'
"I share concern for poverty,"
Caudill continued, "I deplore
poverty, but stripping is murdering the mountains and the
best way to insure continuing-opoverty is to continue stripping, because stripping is putting a period to the usefulness
of the land."
Saying that strip mining ravages the natural balance of systems, Caudill said he also disagrees with Fred Luigart's statement that "strip mining is economical" because "the deferred
costs (of reclaiming the land)
equal tens of millions."
"Mud coming down off the
mountains will have to be dug
out of the Mississippi someday
at titanic cost," he said.
Caudill also disagreed with
the Kentucky Coal Company

Further challenging Luigart's

a case where 19 percent was recovered from the seam by contour stripping and augering, and
the balance of the coal was

U of L's Need
University of Louisville President Woodrow Strickler is fighting
for his school. Strickler is asking the
Kentucky General Assembly to allocate an additional $11 million to
the $8.2 million proposed by Gov.
Louie B. Nunn in his budget message.

The University of Louisville is
in position to offer a quality education to the students of Louisville.
But an allocation of state funds significantly less than the amount requested by Strickler would eliminate opportunities for expansion of
programs and may actually force the

This would cause a definite

and especially the Louisville area,
where proper educational facilities
are lacking.

The legislature should, in

whether they are going to hinder
educational growth in Kentucky or
continue in their progressive path
and upgrade higher education in
the state.

Pollution Of Youth

To The Editor:

Dozens of books and millions of words
are written about the dangers of pollution in the air, our rivers and streams. It
gets front page headlines. When the air
becomes too polluted, our scientific mechanical engineers will come up with appropriate gas masks. When our waters
become too polluted for drinking or bathing, our sanitation experts are sure to
come up vrith some kind of chemical or
filtering device to eliminate the hazards.
There is a more dangerous pollution-pollut- ion
of the minds of our youth
caused by a revulsion against accepting
our present standard of values. Our new 7
generation has lost hope and has no confidence in a future dictated and controlled by the
Complex, and what they refer to as the
"Establishment."
The young minds of our new generation cannot accept the permissiveness,
hyprocrisies and brutalities accVpledby
their elders. We preach Democracy and
support Dictatorships, where losing candidates for President wind up in jail or
in exile. We vote billions of dollars for
foreign aid and welfare, and instead of
food for the hungry, we send them armaments. It takes Congress a year to vote
a 15 percent increase in Social Security
for the most needy of our citizens, and
our highest government officials claim
that it will endanger our economy, yet
hundreds of millionaires don't even pay
one cent of income tax through loopholes
in our tax laws.
The turmoil on our campuses is a form
Military-Industri-

al

of protest against insecurity due to Vietnam and a society that allows hunger in
the midst of affiuency. It is a protest
against the religious leaders of our
churches and temples who stand by in
silence while a priest who dares to speak
out against hunger and injustice, winds
up in jail.
There is no equal justice under our
laws. Our youth would have more respect for law and order and a' better
sense of values if a rich man or a criminal with proper connections who commits premeditated murder were not allowed to go free on a technicality, and a
poor man who steals a loaf of bread
would not wind up rotting in jail.
Rebellion of our youth is the result of
their frustrations, and to show their resentment they turn to drugs and protests,
not for any pleasure it may give them,
but to sort of "get even" with an environment they cannot absorb.
After World War II, we gave the new
generation a hope for a peaceful world
by creating the United Nations, and all
we have had ever since is continued
wars., both hot and cold.
Don't blame or sell the new generation short. They are the product of our
They are much more intelligent, informed, and more sensitive
to social injustice than we ever were at
their ages, and when they rebel and protest, they have a good reason for it. The
term "square" our youngsters use so often, has become a part of our language
and it is really another word for hypocrisy.
It may be very true, as some apologists
short-coming-

state, that at the present time only one
percent of our youth are the actual
troublemakers, only ten percent are dissidents and the rest are okay. Let us not
become complacent by the use of the
percentage game. I would suggest that
you look up the word "contagious" in a
dictionary.
The most dreaded disease that mankind suffers from today is cancer. Medical science will certify that cancer starts
with one tiny cell, but it has a power to
spread, that medical science has not yet
been able to control. Pollution of the
minds of our youngsters is comparable to
the dangers of a cancer. Abe Solosko

As for the events of last week, specifically the hearing and trial of Messrs. Em-brBond, Bernard, and O'Neal, I have
a few bitter comments to make.
Number 1 : The verdict very political.
It had a purpose twofold repression.
Firstly, by screwing these guys just
enough, the jury was able to satisfy most
of the white community. Think a minute about the verdict. So they don't go
to jail, the effect is the same their lives
are ruined by a felony conviction. Alright, they're not sitting in jail, but will
they be able to get back in school? It all
depends upon the generosity of the University who, no matter what they decide
will have the law on their side. And say
they were to get back in school, what
alout graduate school? Doors are closed
to them because of this conviction. And
for something they did not do, which as
Bennie says, could have been done ade- y,
