Yearbook Draws Fire From Adviser
The controversial format and
content of UK's l(J7l) yearbook
will not kill publication of the
Kcntuckian, but may delay it.
Charles Reynolds, Kcntuckian
adviser, and chairman of the
Board of Student publications
Or. Lyman Ginger, have reviewed the book.
They first attempted to arrange a meeting of all 14 members of the board to review the
book. (The board includes four
professors, three citizens at
large, and seven students.)
It was impossible to gather
the new members together, however, Ucause many of them are
on vacation or out of town for
the summer.

Ginger and Reynolds met today with yearbook editor Miss
Alexandria Sateriou and her
legal counsel Ken Guide), an instructor at the UK Law School.
'We Made an attempt to work
out a compromise on the look,"
said Reynolds. "Several points
were discussed, and if she (Miss
Sateriou) had agreed to a revision, a decision about the
book may have ln'en made
but she did not agree.
Most of the book's organization, layout, and copy are Miss
Sateriou's work. She has defended the book as "a flow from
elements that occurred in the
state of Kentucky (this year)
in the new fashion of the

...

media, different from the past."
She explained that the main objective of the yearbook is to
confront the issues and show
students are interested in more
than sports, fraternity and sorority parties, and club pictures.
Many of the yearbook's 350
pages are devoted to such issues
as the Vietnam War, water and
air pollution in Lexington, strip
mining in Eastern Kentucky,
and other state, national and
world social ills.

Miss Sateriou said that not all
of the book deals with
issues. Several pages are

Summer orientation is not summer orientation,
It is now being called a Summer Advising Con- ference. It has also been made a requirement for

all entering freshmen and transfer students. The
entire program has gotten a face lift.

Orientation Shows A New Face
To Students Registering At UK
By JAN TEUTON
Kernel Staff Writer
Remember good old Summer
Orientation? Well it's changed
and the change doesn't stop with
the name. The new name is
"Summer Advising Conference."
The reason for the new name
is that for the first time the
summer program is a requirement for all fall entering students.
According to the Assistant Director of Admission George Dexter "since the University Senate
has made this a requirement,
we have an obligation to the
students to make this program
more than just an orientation
program."
Because this has become a
requirement the Advising Conference Office has done a great
deal of advance work. The student now receives a packet with
a schedule book, a sheet developed by students on how to set
up a schedule, some mock schedule cards, directions on how to
get to the University, a listing
of all the motels in the area,
and the requirements for their
specific majors stated on their
application.
In this manner, the student
and parent will be better prepared to face filling out schedules and will understand more
of the procedures that they will
face on their arrival at the University.
At the same time a list of
the students' ACT scores are

distributed to their various departments in order that their
advisors will be better prepared
to aid them with any problems
that they might have in working
out their schedules for fall.
Aside from acquiring an advisor and filling out schedules,
other activities are included in
the day's activities. After they
register, the students are told
about the day's activities and
different procedures that they
have to go through for paying

fees.
After this session, the office
of Student Affairs presents a slide

show with dialogue depicting
university life. After the slides,
the students meet with a panel
of UK administrators from several departments who answer any
questions that the students might
have about the presentation.
Then students are divided into
small groups and talk with other
students who are resently enrolled at the university. Then
there's a mad rush for lunch
at the Student Center which
might be the best example of college life that they would be exposed to during the day.
The afternoon's activities are
a combination of academic advising, registration for fall classes, payment of fees, picking up
identification cards and the most
famous part of the entire process, the taking of the personality
inventory test.
Depending when they take
their test, the students as well

as parents, view the student activities show sometime during
the afternoon.
The "student activities show"
is a show combining slides, movies, tapes and strobe lights. Its
purpose is to touch on some of
the
activities available to students on the UK campus.
This completes the days activities which begins at 7:45 a.m.
and ends around 4:30 p.m.
In commenting ontheorienta-tio- n
program, Dexter felt that
there had been some problems
with the paying of fees, closed
classes and just general misunderstandings.
Dexter stated in regard to
the orientation program, "We
from
have had great
all of the areas, both academic
and
Because of
we have been
that
able to work with the students
with the least amount of inconvenience to them and probably
with the greatest amount of benefits than of any previous advising conference."
From the various comments
of parents and students alike,
one finds that though they are
tired by the end of the day,
they felt the entire orientation
program is one to be complimented.
As one parent commented,
"I only wish I could go back
to college. The students seem
to have so much fun."

By EILEEN ROBINSON
465 Woodland Avenue
There were over seven hundred people
who chose to attend an allegetUy unauthorized assembly one night last May.
On June 19 Steve Bright was brought
before the
on charges of being
in that unauthorized area by Jack Hall,

Dean of Students, and summarily convicted. When asked during the hearing
whether any other of these seven hundred students had been charged with
violating that "curfew" Ken Brandenburg's cool measured response of, "not
yet," sent chills down the spines of the
capacity audience. Will the dean's staff
now go on to show their impartiality by
charging each of those seven hundred
students with that same violation of the
sacred student code? Or was Ken Brandenburg's threat just an easy way out
of a tight situation in which he did not
want to admit that Steve has been set
up as a martyr and example to us all?
Steve had to be convicted of something. A Student Body President who is
not a lackey of the university power
structure cannot be tolerated. By being
outspoken and refusing to compromise
his constitutional rights Steve has apparently become a rebellious cog in the
grinding machine of mass production education. In fact, his being charged and
convicted only attests to the effectiveness
of his function of truly representing students.
Admittedly his punishment of undated
suspension with no restrictions is no
memmore tlian symbolic. The

In his opinion Kentucky is

Fleming said the statute,
which became effective June 18,

The jury law was passed by

Faye V. Pelosa, associate director of Lexington's Urban Renewal Agency, explained that
many of the UK construction
projects around Pralltown could
be considered contributions to
the Federal program of urban
renewal. The primary plans include a community owned shopping mall connected to the main
UK campus.
Among the groups involved
in the project are the Lexington

Housing Opportunity
and the University, which had
planned to develop and expand
Pralltown some time prior to the
civic- and federal interest in the
community. Under this proposal, UK and several other
property owners would sell their

The impact of the new law

though it is in force at this time.
Jury commissioners who will select the young jurors are normally appointed in January.
How the names of the new

Commissioners cannot legally

With a great deal of support
