By KENNETH GREEN
Assistant Managing Editor
Student Congress continued
debate on the various aspects of
student

Thursday
finally deciding to uphold
night,
a vote taken last week that Congress relet bids for the insurance
for next year.
The debate was set off when
representative Dick Marsh asked
for a revote on last week's decision. The time was too short, he
said, to let bids and set up anew
program.
Michele Cleveland stated there
was enough time, and that new
bids should be let.

In answer to Marsh's statement that the present plan was

sufficient, Miss Cleveland said,
"Mr. Marsh, I have spent nine
months studying this plan, and I
am fully aware of how good or
bad it is.
"We can rebid every year,"
she added. "We have renewed
with Sulier (Neil Sulier is the insurance agent who handles the
student insurance) each year simply because it was the easiest
way out."
Miss Cleveland proposed, after Marsh's move to revote failed,
that the Congress renew the plan
with Sulier if "the bidding is not
completed three weeks before
summer school starts (June 7)."
In other business, SC tabled
discussion on the questions of
Negro athlete recruitment at the
University and of town housing
lor Negroes and foreign students.
The discussion had been introduced by Larry Kelley, but the
majority ofthe members expressed
a lack of proper studyonthe matter and asked to hold off discussion until next week.
"Vte'rc supposed to be responsible," President Steve Beshear
commented, "and wc can't le if
we don't discuss topics like this
that are their (students') affairs."
lteprescntative Willis Bright
said, "Student Congress had better get ready to confront things
like hi s realistically. We are

Before adjourning, Kelley reminded Congress members ofthe

similar to the platform presented
by Miller and O'Brien earlier this
week.

Their platform suggests that
"a great wealth of potential"

exists within Student Congress
and that this potential should be

developed.
The platform also called for
Student Congress support ofthe
Town Housing Council, a closer
relationship between the Lexington campus and the community
colleges, and coordination of
campus affairs by the Congress
in order "to eliminate present
duplication of efforts in some

areas."

The platform called for the
continuation of Congress' voluntary student insurance program. The Miller and O'Brien
platform called for a
insurance program but
was not specific on the type

themes were death bed confessions, religion, local disasters,
rovers, faithless lovers, and temperance.

But, it was from the Negro
slaves of the South that the most
truly American form of music
the blues came. Slow in tempo,
and with a bit of humor midst
the pathos, they told of lost
love, bad treatment, poverty,
hunger and cold. William C.
Handy, the "father of the blues,"
said, "My blues came from the
music of southern Negro farmers,
miners, steel workers and plain
working people. They came out
of suffering and oppression."
Huddie "Lcadbelly" Ledbet-te- r
was one of the best known
of the blues singers. In his rough, '
powerful tones, he made the blues
live. With his death in 1949, the
traditional blues as a living creative force came to an end.
It was in the '30s, however,

is a direct outgrowth.

The current group of folk singers are again concentrating on
the theme of social comment.

and the Chad

sense of urgency in their work,
have captured the minds and

folk music today.
Whether it be "On Top of

"Boll Weevil" from the American Negro, or the "Freedom
Songs" of today, folk music will

One million Confederate soldiers faced more than two and one-hamillion Federal troops.
Southern soil, not northern, was

FRIDAY, APRIL

David IIawfe, Executive Editor

On an April afternoon in Appomattox, almost exactly a century
ago, a tall figure in gray walked
solemnly into Wilmer McLean's
house. His . purpose to surrender
his Army of Northern Virginia.
With this act Robert E. Lee
initiated a chain reaction which
continues today, and which is not
likely to cease in the foreseeable
future.
General Grant thought the surrender was a prelude to a solution
a solution to the sectional impasse
which four years earlier had erupted into war.
Had he listened carefully, Grant
might have heard the quiet moan
of a Rebel soldier sitting on a roadside bank near Appomattox. It is
recorded that the soldier mourned,
"Damn me if I ever love another
country."
It is this sense of identity which
molded a particular
system in the states
of the old Confederacy molded it,
solidified it, erected barriers around
it, and stood watch over it.
This sense of identity sprang
from the nature of the conflict,
although its roots can be traced
into the history of the South. The
war itself, more so than historic
background or the reconstruction
which followed, supplied reasons
for identification.
Consider these facts, which
meant so much to so many southerners:

Mahvin Huncate, Circulation Manager

Despite impossible handicaps,
the southern soldier fought so very
well, and so very long.
It is these facts which we con

tinue to celebrate in the racial
tragedy today.
It is the old sense of identity,
preserved for one hundred years,
which rebels violently in Alabama,
and in Mississippi.
C. Vann Woodward has pointed
out that the Supreme Court, since
1954, has been in the process of
finishing up the work begun in the
shadow of the Civil War's carnage.
It has been so audacious as to
suggest that the principles for which
the North fought and won the war
be applied, finally.
But in a larger sense the major
task which the Civil War should
have accomplished can never be
accomplished by a latter day court
ruling.
No ruling can destroy the
identification with tragedy, though
the tragedy is an aged one by now.
In fact, the court may well, in its
desire to seek justice for the Negro,
serve to increase the indentification
immeasurably.
This is not to say that the Supreme Court has taken the incorrect road. It has taken the only
road open to a morally sensitive
judiciary.
We would only assert that the
necessary result is increased intransigence on the part of the South.
The process of dissolving the
identification with the past is inevitably slow, and it can only
proceed through
by
southerners.
Only when southerners have arrived at the point at which they
wish to identify with the larger
concept, with the nation as a whole,
will Lincoln's eloquence be fulself-realizati-

filled.

Only then will we truly come to
be "the house which is not
divided."

'Student Association
Would Replace Congress
9

The proposal to be presented
to the Second Conference on
Organizations Saturday would,
if implemented, replace Student
Congress with a complex,
organization called the
"Student Association."
The organization would be
composed of a judicial branch,
an administrative board, and a
coordinating council. Each
would have under it a number
of other boards and organizations
so that, in effect, the Student
Association would be the chief
governing body on campus, with
all other bodies under it.
The term "governing body"
is not entirely applicable, however, since the association would
have the power only to recommend rather than any concrete
power of its own.
The Judicial branch of the
Student Association is not elaborated upon in the proposal to
be discussed Saturday, but a
chart attached to the proposal
shows the Judicial Board at the
top of the organization with the
Women's Advisery Council, the
Interfraternity Council's judicial
committee, the Men's Residence
Hall judicial council, and the .
Town Housing council's judicial .

committee (should one be established) under it.
The administrative board
would be headed by a president
and vice president, presumably
elected by a campuswidc vote.
The board itself would be composed of representatives from one
of a number of "councils" and
"departments" created undcrthc
plan.
This board will hear the reports of department and council
heads and may recommend or
suggest programs in any of the
areas. The councils are designed
to cover every area of student life
at the University, from academics
to athletics. The departments are
more of a service nature, including such areas as public relations
and student opportunities.
The coordinating committee

program director.
Its function is to provide a
place where plans can be discussed so that no two groups
will duplicate efforts. It, like
the administrative council, has no
power other than that of recommendation.
The rationale for such an
organization is included in a
section at the conclusion of the
proposal.
It suggests that students are
members of many different
groups, with different aims and
influences. A governing body
therefore, must be based on all
of these, the report suggests.

Believing in the great wealth
of potential within Student Congress and supporting the proposition that that potential should be
developed, Michel Jones and Carson Porter declare their candidacy
for the respective offices of president and vice president as, an exemplification of a firm conviction
furthering the development of
that potential.
As a means of achieving a
stronger, more organized and
more representative Student Congress, we offer the following proposals:
1. A system of voluntary academic counseling by upperclass-me- n
for freshmen to help them
adjust to the scholastic problems
of the University.

and support a closer relationship
between the University Community Colleges and the main Unive
