Former CIA head to discuss ‘new intelligence’

By (‘RAS MAIN
Kernel Reporter

William E. Colby, former director
of the CIA, will be on campus today
on the heels of a former CIA agent.
K. Barton Osborn, who was here to
denounce the very agency that Colby
will attempt to defend.

Colby will speak at 8 tonight in
Memorial Coliseum as part of the
Central Kentucky Concert and
Lecture Series He will speak on the
CIA and “The New Intelligence."

Colby has been involved with the
intelligence community since 1943.
In that year. he answered a call for
French-speaking volunteers and
joined the Office of Strategic Ser—
vices, the forerunner of the CIA. He
received a law degree from
Columbia University. but was
dissatisfied with the profession.

At the start of the Korean War. he
joined the CIA, working in
Stockholm. Rome and Vietnam
before becoming exectuive director-
controller in 1972. In 1973 he was
named director, and remained until

While most students at UK live in
dorms or apartments, some are
taking part in an unusual living
experience provided by the
l'niversity.

l'K is providing a house for
students to live in who are majoring
in Russian or are making it an
important part of their studies.

“We were asked to do a pilot
house." said Dr. Roger Anderson,
chairman of the Russian depart
ment. “Every summer a number of
students from America go to Russia
to study and live in a house there.“
So the Russian department decided
to experiment with the idea here.

“It was set up to be a kind of
student center for those taking
Russian," said Karen Shrock. a
Russian sophomore and the only
woman living in the house. She said
it was intended as a kind of forum
for students of the language to live
together and acquire knowledge
about the country

“The main idea was for it to be a
place for those studying Russian to

had such an atrocious foreign policy
theme since the cold war."

To add to the controversy
surrounding Colby and his visit, a
campus group has announced its
plans to protest the lecture. In a
press conference yesterday,
Bronson Rozier and Frank Paige
announced the formation of the Ad-
Hoc Committee to Protest the CIA.

They have organized a picket of
the Coliseum. to begin at 7:30
tonight, and continue through the
speech. Rozier said they intend to
stay outside the Coliseum and have
no plans to disrupt the speech or
verbally challenge Colby.

Rather, Rozier said, the committe
hopes to bring to the public eye its
demands of the federal government.
These demands include the opening
of all CIA files, the end of all CIA
intervention in foreign governments
and ending all domestic spying
operations.

”Our purpose," Paige said, “is to
inform people about the anti~
democratic and illegal activities
that the CIA is involved in. ()n the
basis of an informed and aware
public, a real movement can be built
around these demands.”

Paige also said his group feels the
CIA serves no practical purpose to
the American public, and that it has
become, instead, "a vehicle of
aggression and intervention into the
lives of people abroad. . . and
progressive groups and individuals
here at home."

Experts exchange predictions

on South African struggles

By WILLIAM PATTERSON
Kernel Reporter

“Kissinger went to South Africa
not to reach a settlement but to
protect American economic inter-
est,” said Robert Kambarami, a
Rhodesian graduate student at East-
ern Kentucky University. Kambara-
mi was speaking yesterday at a
Symposium on Southern Africa
sponsored by the Cosmopolitan
Club.

Kambarami was the only native of
South Africa on the panel of experts
at the symposium. “We don’t want
the US. or Russia,” he continued.
“We want to be left alone to be
Africans.

“We don’t want to send the whites
away. We want a government of
majority rule. It is not a race war. It
is unfortunate that all the questions
involve whites," he said.

The Union of South Africa must be
liberated, according to Kambarami.
“Until all the countries (of Southern
Africa) are liberated there will be
mighty wars,” he said. '

The Union of South Africa pre-
sents special problems as far as

go where they could share their
interests in Russia the culture and
language,“ said Anderson, who was
adviser to the project last year.

“You do find yourself thinking
more about Russian,“ said Bill
Kaufmann. a zoology senior who is
also continuing his studies in
Russian. “If you're living in a dorm
or apartment you think more in
Western thought.

“I had this big hole in my head at
first when I thought about the Soviet

Russia) in my thoughts. It rounds
out your thoughts about the world."

The four living in the house now
have tried to create a taste of
Russian life by hanging pictures of
Russian life and folklore in several
spots in the house. They also have
“some professors old textbooks,
dictionaries and Russian literary
works," said Larry Jones, a Russian
senior who is living there. “We also
have a subscription to Pravda
newspaper (the primary Russian
newspaix-i‘i,“ Kaufinann said.

Mike Callopy, chemistry junior in
his fourth year of Russian, said they
also try to listen to radio programs
in Russian that give them an idea of
what life is like in the Soviet Union.
“We have a short-wave radio,"
Callopy said. “It picks up a Russian
program from 10:30 pm. till I am.
We also pick up Voice of America."

“I think that is one of the reasons
people have been scared of living
here," Shrock added. "I was very
much interested in living in this sort
of atmosphere and learning more
about Russian, but that was one of
the things that frightened me. I was
afraid I wouldn‘t know as much as
others."

Another important part of the
experiment is to improve the
students‘ fluency in the language.
”They are encouraged to speak
Russian in the house,“ Anderson
said. “Usually we speak a mixture
of English and Russian,“ Jones said.

"You do pick up a lot more than
you would if you were living in the
dorm.“ Callopy said. "It gives you
more practice in speaking. I can tell
I have learned a lot.“

During the year the students keep
in close contact with the depart-
ment. “The instructors are very
interested in the house.“ Shrock
said. “They try to keep in touch.
They are very proud of the house,
especially because our department
is so small.“

This is the only learning ex-
perience of its kind on campus,
according to Anderson. Some in-
structors in the Spanish department
tried to set upa sirnilarsituation but
were unsuccessful.

The department has tried to
capitalize on the experiment by
planning activities in the house.
According to Shrock, last year they
celebrated the Russian Easter by
fixing some native foods.

One of 'the dishes they prepared
was pasclui, a cheesecake ”heavier
than we make in America. that they
cookal in flower pots,“ Shrock said.

United Nations (UN) intervention is
concerned. A change in government
in South Africa would mean a new
government and not a matter of
decolonization like that of Rhodesia,
according to Stephen Vasek, a UK
law professor.

“South Africa has been an inde-
pendent state for a long time,”
Vasek said. In order to get U.N.
intervention, there would have to be
a “question of protection of human
rights," he said.

A current trend in South Africa is
to make the native “Bantu Stands"
into independent nations, according
to Vasek. The new nation of Transki
is an example of a Bantu Stand, but
so far only Rhodesia and the parent
nation have recognized 'I‘ranski as
an official nation.

According to Raymond Betts, a
history professor, this was “the first
area incurred upon by whites. Now it
is the most hotly contested and
markes the end of the colonial era.
The area is one of the richest in land
resources and population."

The system of “Bantu Stands,"
Betts said, is an outgrowth of 1913
South African land acts that were
designed to displace the blacks from
the best land much as the system of
Indian reservations did in America,
according to Betts.

In order to maintain their role of
social and political leadership, the
whites had to resort to a series of
contrived laws. Betts said, “Blacks
had to work for white companies or
on white-owned farms and then
retire to their own little areas." In
Rhodesia, for example, 96 per cent
of the population live on less than
one-third of the land, according to
Kambarami.

Pressure on the white minority
governments of Southern Africa has
increased since Angola and Mozam-
bique were granted their indepen-
dence, according to Maurice East of
the Patterson School of Diplomacy.

“American, Russian, Chinese and
Cuban involvement is a threat to the
black governments in Africa. Black
governments have not had a high
level of interest in the area until
now," East said.

Professor East said he sees the
main US. interest in the area as
being the protection of the sea routes
from the Middle East. The Russians
are interested in having a strategic
naval base on the western coast of
Africa. according to East.

The main US. economic interests
in South Africa are agricultural

products and mineral resources,
according to Karen Mingst of the
political science department.
“Chromium and maganese are the
two most critical products coming
from the area as there is very little
production (of these minerals) in the
United States," Mingst said.

Eugene Mooney, of the UK Law
School, said he sees a potential
problem of the formation of a new
state in the area. “New political
parameters will mean population
migrations,“ Mooney said. “Major-
ity rule is not an international
obligation; neither international law
nor the UN charter make any
provision for majority rule."

After a period of questioning from
a panel of journalists the floor was
opened to questions from the audi-
ence. The final question of the day
was what the panel of experts
expected the outcome to be in
Southern Africa. All agreed that
should the current Geneva confer-
ences not succeed, there is a strong
possibility of armed confrontation.

J immy Carter is the logical alternative

The presidential election process, once so
uniquely American in its drama and anticipation.
is fast disintegrating. The system which fostered
a thriving economy and a politically aware
electorate is in jeopardy.

What we have. instead. is an unprecedented
number of disenchanted voters, bitter with the
system and at the same time at a loss to change it.
This great political drift provokes disdain for all
candidates and for government as a whole.

The voters think government has grown too
large. too powerful, too far removed from the
influence of its people. But the US. government
has a history of rebounding from failure, strife
and indifference, as long as its people don’t quit.

When people do quit, when they become totally
alienated. the government fails. This is happening

estewan Bowman

JIMMY CARTER

under the current administration of Gerald R.
Ford, and the malaise will continue and weaken
further if we make the tragic mistake of electing
him.

The only logical alternative for the American
people is one that can restore direction and
meaning to the federal government; an adminis-
tration that is concerned, informed and diligent.
.fimmy Carter can provide that kind of adminis-
tration.

The overwhelming concern of the 1976 elect-
orate should be the defeat of President Ford. He
has displayed an insensitivity to important
issues-unemployment, tax reform, the environ-
ment—that effect everyone; and sensitivity to
issues that effect only the selected elite.

Ford maintained the sad White House atmos-
phere he inherited from Richard Nixon. He has
failed to relieve the deterioration, the bruised
image of the country.

It should be pointed out that the system whereby
we elect the president is patently unfair to
candidates not represented by either major party.
Eugene McCarthy, particularly, has proven
himself as a capable leader and is widely
recognized as a man of insight.

McCarthy has served to point out the deficien-
cies of our election process, which may have been
his real reason for entering a campaign he had no
chance to win. However, McCarthy’s uninhibited
attacks, as exemplified by the contention that
both parties provide inadequate leadership, would
undoubtedly alienate the Congress and other
public officials with whom he would have to
interact as president.

Carter, on the other hand, has a proven record
as governor of Georgia. He reorganized that
state’s bureaucracy and intergrated diverse ideas
into sound government. This should allay fears
that Carter is the kind of politician who streaks
ahead regardless of counter opinion. Carter’s
gubernatorial record has been scrutinized for
blunders without result.

Much has been written and said about Carter’s
philosophy and religous beliefs. Many voters are
leery about the intensity of these beliefs. But there
is absolutely no evidence that Carter’s righteous-
ness has effected his government capabilities.

Similarly. opponents have berated Carter’s
experience in government despite the generally
successful term in Georgia. But Carter’s diverse
background—as a successful farmer, business-
man, nuclear engineer and politician—portrays
intellect, versatility and diligence.

Carter also has come under attack for allegedly
being vague on the issues. While it is unquestion-

ably true that he has been less than succinct on
some questions, Carter’s record compares favor-
ably with other political elites. Even when he was
specific, Carter was attacked, as was the case
after the first presidential debate when he was
accused of muddling the issue of economics with
too many facts and figures.

Very simply, Carter was attacked because of a
basic national skepticism of a religous southerner
capturing the Democratic Party and ascending
toward the presidency. Many people preferred to
stick with the safety guaranteed by the inactivity
d Ford’s bumbling administration.

An examination of Ford’s record reveals
exactly why we shouldn’t allow his administration
to continue. Mr. Ford is characterized as a “nice
giy.” But doubtless, the ever-increasing number
of unemployed he has chosen to ignore wouldn’t
agree.

Carter recognizes that the unemployment count
‘5 a tragic situation. Rather than sit back and
decry the evils of inflation, as Ford does, Carter
supports establishment of job programs to ease
memployment. He supports the amended Hum-
flirey-Hawkins fullemployment bill.

Carter bases his anti-inflation program on
ending unemployment, and reorganizing govern-
ment, the outcome of which presently cannot be
guaged. Similarly, Carter’s plan to implement
zero~based budgeting is questionable. But his
msitions represent a concerned attack against the
economic situtation rather than the simplistic and
callous “leadership” Ford has provided.

Carter’s positions on the crucial questions of
energy policy and social issues also reflect a more
rational and efficient approach. On pursuing new
mergy sources, the governor has placed empha-
s's on developing solar power while Ford has
watched the runaway monster of nuclear energy
develop without due consideration to cost and
safety.

On the issue of foreign policy, Carter offersa‘
sound basis for establishing foreign relaitons;
interaction and fair trade with allies and peaceful
coexistence with enemies. Henry Kissinger and
arms sales, even to the most totalitarian nations,
are the bases of the administration’s foreign
policy.

Rather than play on the public’s emotions on
controversial social issues such as abortion and
busing, as Ford has done with halfhearted
rromises of ill-conceived constitutional amend-
ments, Carter says he supports the high court’s
rulings despite his personal views to the contrary.

Carter offers better judgement on basic issues,
as exemplified by his positions on the environ-

WALTER MONDALE

ment as compared with Ford’s. Perhaps no other
[resident in history has so ruthlessly ignored
mture’s balance as Ford has.

He vetoed a national strip mine bill that would
have consolidated regulation of coal mining with
the respect to the land. He has acquiesced to the
whim of the automobile manufacturers by
approving delays on delays in emission standards.
He consistently has ignored environmental qual-
ity. on the false premise that our economy would
siffer if we bother to protect the environment.
Garter pledges to uphold environmental interests
when a conflict between the environment and
harmful proposed projects arises.

Carter also seems able to mold a strong
Cabinet, if his selection of Walter Mondale is any
indication. In comparison, Ford’s selection of
political hacker Robert Dole reflects poor

The list of Mr. Ford’s failures and‘Jimmy
Carter’s promises are as clear as night and day.
(‘an we bank on Jimmy Carter’s promises? Many
thought we could bank on Lyndon Johnson’s
integrity and his plans for a Great Society, but we
really couldn’t.

Mr. Carter can answer these questions only
after he has been elected. The central question,
then, is do we want to choose the man who has
failed consistently and has earned the support of
voters only in two Michigan counties, or do we
want to take a chance on the man with a stable
record and welldesigned intentions.

We think the choice is obvious.

Letters from the editor

Presidential endorsement was difficult decision

My .ltlllN “INN MILLER
The battle that we all had been
dreading finally culminated Monday

night we had to decide who to
endorse in the upcoming president-
ial election in the end. Jimmy
(‘arter won. but not by much.

lit‘tol‘t‘ we could even start to
consider w ho to endorse. however,
several iundamantal problems had
to be resolved.

The first question: why endorse
anyone" It was argued that an
endorsement is a waste of time,
slllt't‘ most people have all ready
made up their minds. and people
w ho were undecided probably would
not be convinced by an editorial.

in addition, we had to face the
problem of who would decide the
Kcriicl‘s position. if any

And tinally. we had to decide
whether to present one editorial or
two since the staff was divided.

We had a general staff meeting
two weeks ago Monday to give all
stattci‘s a chance to voice their
opinions of the candidates As things
turned out. the staff was pretty
c\cii|_\ tllVltlt'tl between Jimmy (‘ar-
[PT and Eugene Mct‘arthy Very few
t‘\t'll considered Ford

So. in order to establish our
position, Kernel Editor Ginny lid-
wards decided to put the question to

the editorial board for final resolu-
ill!”

The editorial board is composed of
Edwards: Walter Hixson, editorial
editor; John Winn Miller, manag—
ing editor; and two assistant manag-

ing editors, Dick Gabriel and Mike
Mouser.

It was up to these five people to
hash out an endorsement. All staff
members were allowed to partici-
pate in the Monday night meeting
but the editorial board had to make
the final decision.

it didn‘t take us too long to decide
that it was our responsibility to
endorse a candidate. Failing to do so
would be somewhat of a sellout. it
didn‘t matter, so much, that other
newspapers endorse candidates.
What mattered was their reasons for
doing so.

As journalists, we probably spend
more of our time studying the
current issues than the general
public. On an average, board mem-
bers read three newspapers a day.
several magazines a week and
campaign position papers and press
releases.

As a result of this absorption of
information, we are able to form-
ulate positions based on something
other than gut reactions.

Although we have no monopoly on
truth. we feel that it is our respons-
ibility to analyze the issues and

endorse a candidate, in order to
assist the general public in making
an intelligent choice for president.

We finally decided to endorse one
candidate, and not run two editorial
endorsements. Since people can only
vote for one candidate, it would do
little good to present two totally
different endorsements.

Once the preliminaries were over,
the real battle began. The editorial
board, like the staff. was evenly
divided between McCarthy and Car-
ter (two for each, one abstention).
Ford was dismissed because we felt
that although he is “a nice guy,“ we
strongly disagreed with most of his
laissez faire policies.

After discussing the merits of all
the candidates, including several
third party candidates, the final vote
was 3-2 for Carter. This fact created
a problem since Edwards is bitterly
opposed to Carter, and as editor, she
would automatically be associated
with the endorsement.

Several other members of the
general staff were also bitterly
opposed to Carter and subsequently
uneasy about being associated with
the endorsement. Nonetheless, it
was decided to go with the majority
and to present the best case possible
for Carter.

ing editor.

 

Vote on day off

in this bicentennial election year,
i would like to encourage all
students to vote in spite of the
present “nonvote” attitude. There
are nine candidates on the Kentucky
ballot this year.

These candidates represent a wide
diversity of views, one of which a
person should be able to align
themselves with. One must realize
that after the election there are few
mechanisms for input into the
political system.

Therefore, it is better to voice your
opinion, even though your views are
not reflected in the election results,
than not to have spoken at all. I know
many McGovern supporters who
were more than glad to admit, “I
voted for George,“ when Watergate
came into full view.

For those of you who don't think an
election is important, 1 would ask
you to think back to how many
school holidays we‘ve had. Certainly
this election ranks right up there
with Christmas, Thanksgiving and
Labor Day. So please use your day
off to do more than study or relax.
Take time to vote.

Unfair food

i would like to take this space to
complain to the food services on
campus. Last Saturday, i went to the

 

Letters

Complex Commons for lunch. The
menu consisted of a choice of
Smokies, Cold Cuts or Chef‘s Salad,
all of which either contain some or
all pork.

I cannot eat pork because of my
religion, so what was I to do? I asked
the servers what I could have and
the best they could offer me was
cheese; even the vegetable had pork
in it (German Potatoes).

i ended up walking all of the way
over to the Student Center Grill. This
took about an hour of my valuable
time by the time I got back to my
room.

My request to the food service is to
serve, at every meal, at least one
dish which is food allowable by my
religion. (This request also excludes
crustaceans, as well as pork i

I don‘t think it would really be
difficult for them to do this, and i
think they should take restricted
diets of certain minority religions
into consideration when planning
their daily menus.

Ford, Carter hit Chicago to vie

for 26 Illinois electoral votes

By DONALD M. RO'I‘IIBERG
AP Political Writer

Suburban Chicago voters
got a massive dose of presi-
dential campaigning Tuesday
when President Ford and
Jimmy Carter flew into the
area seeking the support that
could tip closely contested
Illinois in their favor.

With 26 electoral votes,
Illinois is one of the pivotal
states in the final-week cam-
paign plans of both candi-
dates. Foreign policy and
defense issues were the prin-
cipal themes for both candi-
dates as they toured‘ the
Chicago suburbs.

The Democratic candidate
talked of how he would cut
waste from the Pentagon
budget. And he sought to
counter the President’s criti-
cism of Carter’s statement
that he would not send Amer—
ican troops into Yugoslavia in

the event of a Soviet invasion
of that country.

“I think the world is tired of
bluff and blustering where
you insinuate you‘re going to
send troops to some country
when you know your own
people won’t let you do it,"
Carter said during an inter-

view broadcast on (.‘BS-TV,
Ford said his foreign and
defense policies hail “kept us
strong and at peace“ while
Carter would represent a
