Of Proposed Merger

By FRANK BROWNING
Assistant Managing Editor
A constitution uniting the services and functions of Student
Congress and the Student Center
Board into one campus student
government will be presented in
Congress Thursday night.
The proposed merger will "in
no way change the power of student governenient from that of

Miller said.
Both Miller and Susan Pillans,
president of the Board, emphasized that none of the services or

What it will do, the two
campus student leaders agreed,

w ill be to unite all University student governenient into a central
body with a single structure.
The constitution is scheduled
to come before the Student Center Board for their approval tonight.
The constitution to be presented to Congress amounts not
to a dramatic revision of the
present one, Miller explained.
Instead, it specifies certain
structural organizations to be
established and "spells out more
closely the functions" of student
government than does the present
governing document.
Specifically, it delineates the
arrangement, powers, and duties
of the executive and legislative
branches of the government while
leaving the current judicial set-u- p
mostly intact.
The advancement of elections,
Miller stated, would enable student government to begin work
immediately upon the return of
students in the. fall semester.
Twenty representatives will
be chosen at large, as are SC
members now. A possible addition of as many as 10 may be
chosen from housing units at the
beginning of the fall semester.
Two other possible bases for
legislative selection were considered, Miller said. The first is a
system based purely on a housing
constituency and the second on
representation from academic colleges.
Within the Assembly representatives will choose their own
speaker to preside over meetingsa switch from the situation
in Congress now where the vice
president holds the chair.
Created within the Assembly
will be eight legislative committees, the purpose of which will be
to consider all bills introduced.
The committees will correspond

Speech, Hearing Center
Opens New Laboratory

A
new
full)
laboratory
equipped to conduct precise hearing tests has been opened at the
diversity's Speech and Hearing Center.
Primary function of the center, which is part of the College of Education, is to train
students for careers as speech
and hearing therapists. To provide laboratory experiences for
these students, the center accepts on a selective basis patients
who are referred by physicians.
Its director, Dr. Charles F. Diehl,
says priority is given to students
who are referred for hearing evaluation.
Seventy-fiv- e

undergraduates

preparing for jobs as public
school speech and hearing therapists now are enrolled for w ork
at the center. Successful completion of all academic requirements will qualify them for a
special provisional certificate issued by the State Department
of Education.
Dr. Diehl says Kentucky public schools need at least 1,000
of these therapists. Only 53 presently are employed in the state's
public schools systems.
Each hearing test conducted
at the center requires about two
and a half hours for completion.
The setup utilizes three booths-o- ne
for

the patient, another

weekly therapy. Another service prouded by the center is
the screening of teacher candidates for speech and hearing
defects. Those found to have a
hearing problem arc sent to the
University Health Service for
medical evaluation.
The facility also provides
and the
training in
use of hearing aids.
Dr. Diehl and his associates
currently are drawing plans for
a graduate
training program
which would prepare students
for work as technicians, speech
pathologists, and audiologists in
clinics, hospitals, and other private agencies.
Dr. Diehl credits the dean
of the College of Education, Dr.

Lyman V. Ginger, for invaluable

assistance in staffing and pr-

odding physical facilities for the
center. The University, he points
out, is Kentucky's only
school with a speech

Briefing Set
On March 11
A briefing session sponsored
by the Defense Documentation
Center, Alexandria, Va., with
the cooperation of the University of Kentucky Research Foundation, will be held March 11
on the University campus.
Purpose of the meeting will
be to discuss methods of taking
advantage of time and money
previously spent on research and
development projects.
Businessmen from the Lexington, Louisville, and Frankfort
areas will attend.
Principal speaker at the session will be John M. Berry,
liaison officer for the Defense
Documentation Center.
Edwin Stamper, administrative assistant of the UK Research
Foundation, stated that Mr.
Berry will instruct businessmen
on how to avoid duplication of
research, how to conform to government regulations for utilizing
research data, and how to obtain
their share of the existing fund
of available information on previous research. . .
One primary goal of the briefing is to help Defense Department suppliers reduce research

"Our show is designed to
focus on fashions for spring vacation and some of the clothes
for early summer," says Carol
Haley, a member of the Student
Center Board who is in charge
of arrangements.
"We want to concentrate on
spring vacation because that's
generally what the students are
thinking about this time of year,
but we also plan to bring in
other aspects of life at the University."
Miss Haley explains that
everything from swim suits to
formal s will be shown.
"There really aren't any drastic changes in clothing this
spring. It's really more of the
same type of clothing you normally sec on campus," she says.
In the category of evening
wear, more shoe lace and strapless gowns seem to be the trend.
Material for formal gowns is
patterned instead of the smooth
fabrics.

are quite stylish for spring also.

No Speaker Ban Needed
d
The proposed American
bill to ban "insidious"
persons from speaking on Kentucky's campuses amounts to a
speaker ban, despite the sponsor's
contentions to the contrary.
We believe the atmosphere at
the University and other state
schools calls for more controversial
speakers rather than a ban. The
incident might
recent
not have happened had students
previously had the opportunity of
hearing speakers holding minority
viewpoints.
Students, and apparently many
state citizens, have yet to learn
that exposure to differing views
is an educational experience. Those
who would seek to "protect the
minds" of students or the irruce
of the state's colleges and universities in essence seek only to linn!

Earlier this year North Carolina
colleges and universities nearly lost
their accreditation because of a

week before a nationwide accrediting organization was scheduled to
yank accreditation. Such loss of
accreditation certainly would follow imposition of such a ban imposed in Kentucky and would be
a devastating blow to education
within the state.

himself to challenge the status quo,

sorry little incident, he would have
put more faith in a new Baboon
Code of Territorial Rights than in
a truly powerful U.N.
City policemen seeing the scene
were undoubtedly frothing at the
mouth in a pure pleasure of a
rough and tough Victory over weakling pacifists. At the same time
campus policemen were cowering
behind the crowd frantically visualizing calmer days of ticket giving
and hauling off cars their aggressions in this age of automation
being limited to passive mechanical
things.
A local newscaster said that at
least they weren't throwing rocks.
Have you been hit in the head by
a football-shape- d
egg flying toward

you
a very strong object. Try to break
an egg with your hands by exerting
pressure at both poles. Somebody,
not just the demonstrators, could
have easily been blinded (especially
wearers of glasses). The brave egg
throwers should be relieved that
no one was hurt.
If there was justice in thiscoun-tr- y
or even strong-willecampus

would be made to pay for all the
expensive dry cleaning their
stupidity has caused and be adequately punished by the University Deans' offices.

I personally had been assured by
Mr. Rueshell's office that the
pickets would be protected by
police. He now defends their inaction by claiming that, had arrests
been made, the crowd might have
become uncontrollable. One might
wonder what kind of "control" the
crowd was under that was was so
worthy of preservation. His attempt
to shift the blame onto the marchers
by saying that they created the
one-ha- lf

"delicate" and "hazardous" situation by parading directly in front

of the Coliseum is unfounded.
The "fire" did not come from all
sides but from an easily located
group. The press had no problem
picking out the assaulters. It is
obvious that the police allowed
their own feelings about the demonstration to direct their actions. Officers were seen standing next to
jeering along with the
crowd. This serious betrayal of duty
on the part of the police and Mr.
Ruesheli cannot be excused.
One might imagine what they
would have done if a picketer had
hit someone with a sign . . .

Surveys of grass roots conservatives give Nixon heavy backing.
Coldwater himself plugs Nixon at
every opportunity.
What's more, sophisticated
conservatives also were warming
toward Nixon again last year.
Rusher's National Review reported in the fall that Nixon's
wooing of the responsible Right
had "won him the tacit support
(if not final commitment) of most
Republican conservatives."
But Ni xon sevcrly damaged
his efforts ever to get that "final
commitment" by a remark to
newsmen while campaigning in
Virginia last October.
Asked about the John Birch
Society, Nixon replied that the

strange
correspondence between
Richard M. Nixon and an influential conservative leader shows
how Nixon has failed to win from
the conservative movement the
trust and confidence that Barry
Coldwater enjoyed.
The situation was brought to
public attention for the first time
last week by William A. Rusher,
publisher of the National Review
(a leading journal of conservative
opinion) and a founder of the
draft Coldwater movement in
1962. Appearing on the National
Education Television network,
Rusher said, "it is unclear"
whether Nixon wants to read the
old Coldwater movement out of
the party. He then challenged
Nixon to make it clear.
What Rusher only hinted at
over television was that Nixon has
failed on two occasions to reply to
letters from Rusher asking hard
questions. The mere fact those
questions were even asked reveals
the confidence gap between
Nixon and the conservatives, who

Daze Of The Draft

By JOHN ZEH
Announcement that grades and test scores will be used to determine future draft classifications has caused many students
to, among other things, work harder on their studies. Recent
happenings may lead to something like this:
"Hey John, did you hear the
good news? We don't have to from high school. No doubt my
score will impress those old fogies

ticket.
Nixon's
statement was reported by us.
To conservatives, this wasthe
old Nixon at work. Believing he
had secured the Republican
Right, they reasoned, he was
on the Republican Left.
Accordingly, Rusher fired off a
terse letter to him on Oct. 14.
"As a fairly
Buckle) itc, I would deeply appreciate
knowing whether the . . . remark
was correctly attributed to you,"
he wrote.
Nixon did not reply. On
Nov. 2, Rusher tried again. "In
the interest of simple justice, and
more particularly in the interests
of a sound future for the Republican party," he asked, did Nixon
make the remark? Rusher added:
"Quite frankly, 1 cannot believe that you uttered those
words. But it is critically important to many conservative Republicans in this country to know
whether, in fact, you did or not
and only you can tell that."
Since then, only silence (save
for Rusher's television appearance). But the story of the unanswered "Dear Mr. Nixon" letters has spread all through influential conservative circles.
More recently, the renewed
suspicion of Nixon was fueled by
a report that on the week end of
Feb. 19 he conducted a secret
meeting in Cambridge, Mass.,
with leaders of thcRipon Society,
a national organization of liberal
Republican intellectuals that is
anathema to conservatives. Here,
