Eighty Attend Meeting

Graduate Students Ass'n r
Takes First Official Stand
By DOTTIE BEAN

Kernel Staff Writer
As its first official act, the
newly formed Graduate Students
Association Monday night unanimously opposed changes in the
University's policy on graduate
student parking privileges.
With 80 graduate and professional students present at the
first meeting of the group, the
primary goal was, according to
acting chairman Mason Taylor,
to "voice some opposition to the
University's policy on the parking situation."
The new UK parking policy
would eliminate the eligibility
of graduate students and teaching and research assistants for
B permit parking stickers. Under
the new policy they would be
eligible for C permits only.
Thorn Pat Juul, a graduate
student in Library Science and
a member of Student Government, told the group that under
the administration's new parking plan, there would be only

oneC parking lot located"onthe
other side of Cooper Drive."

Besides formally opposing the
new policy, theGSA also selected
a committee to review the administration's parking proposal
and to suggest alternatives to
the University. The alternatives
will be presented and voted on
at the next meeting.
Several graduate students
voiced support for a plan including a "prime alternative"
of refusing to teach classes if
the University did not arrange
a "more satisfactory" plan for
graduate student parking.
During the meeting, acting
chairman Taylor read several let-- ,
ters voicing support for the organization.
One was from Dr. John Drys-dala professor in the Sociology
Department, who extendedanin-v- i
tat ion for a GSA representative
to attend the next meeting of the
UK chapter of the American Association of University Professors
(AAUP) to discuss the new

suit filed
The losers in the recent Maine Chance Farm
suit in U. S. District Court Monday seeking a new trial.
Dr. Arnold G. Pessin, a Lexington veterinarian, and Rex C.
Ellsworth, a California horseman, charged misconduct by the
jurors and that the court erred in accepting incompetent evidence
offered by the defendants.
A U. S. District Court jury of three men and nine women acquitted the UK Research Foundation, the Keeneland Association
and the Bank of New York Feb. 21 of violating the anti-trulaw.
Pessin and Ellsworth filed the $30 million suit saying that the
defendants had conspired to prevent them from buying the Maine
Chance Farm. The farm was sold to the UK Research Foundation
for $2 million in 1967.
In their brief Monday, Pessin and Ellsworth accused jury
Foreman Ralph M. Thomas of Lexington of misconduct because
"he improperly injected into deliberation for thepurposeof coercing
the jurors to vote for the defendants, statements of law which were
inaccurate and false."
The two also contended that Juror Eva Kennedy Robinson of
Lexington formed or expressed an opinion as to the merits of the
suit before the trial began.
Mrs. Robinson, the suit charged, formed an opinion, based on
newspaper articles about the credibility of Fayette County Judge
Joe Johnson, one of the plaintiffs' witnesses.
Pessin and Ellsworth charged that she expressed her opinions
to some jurors and failed to divulge the opinions when questioned
under oath.
The two also contended that certain women jurors engaged in
misconduct with Mrs. Louis Lee Haggin II, wife of the Keeneland
Association president.
Pessin and Ellsworth said Mrs. Haggin engaged in extended
conversation with the women Jurors In the women's restroom of
the Federal Building where the trial was held.

Dr. Stuart Forth, acting vice

sent the group a letter of support.
Representatives from the Political Science and Psychology
Departments also described to
other GSA members their own

Both the Political Science and
the Psychology Departments also have graduate student representatives on some faculty committees and at faculty meetings.
The representatives have no voting privileges, however.
In addition, the Political Science Department has a Graduate
Student Advisory Committee
which .fleets with the department chairman to discuss problems of graduate students.
Juul told the graduate students, "Student Government can
be relied upon to do very little
for the graduate student. They
are having enough trouble doing
their own undergraduate playing
of games."
However, Juul did say a motion would be brought before
Student Government on Thursday to obtain funds for GSA.
Acting GSA chairman Taylor
also selected a constitution committee to work toward formal
organization of the association
as a "legitimate" campus group.
The next meeting of GSA will
be at 8 p.m. next Monday in the
Student Center. The room number will be announced at a later
date.

Grads
Unite

Some eighty graduate students met Monday night
to organize the Graduate Students Association.
Mason Taylor, acting president, and Mary Kay
Lane, acting secretary, were chosen to steer GSA
in its first fight against new parking restrictions

British
Equates
Grades With Guaranteed Incomes
By ELLEN ESSIG

The results of the impromptu
vote bore out Theobald's original
hypothesis.
He brought education into the
discussion because, he said,
"that's where a guaranteed annual income starts." "If you believe that men are human beings
striving for food, clothing and
shelter from the minute they are
born, then you can't believe in
giving grades," he added.
Theobald stressed the importance of one's view of human
nature "Our view of man is
a critical issue in everything we
talk about." He then explained
the Skinner view of man. Skinner
is a scientist who claims that
since rats and mice react to positive and negative sanctions, then
man does also.
This theory is proven true
in a closed system which can't
be changed and in which one can
only respond to positive and negative sanctions, Theobald said.

If one believes in giving grades
in school, then he probably
doesn't agree with the idea of a
guaranteed annual income.
That's what Robert Theobald,
the British
who
has popularized the idea of a
guaranteed annual income, told
a capacity audience last night in
the Student Center Theatre.
Theobald, speaking as part
of the colloquia on "Working
Solutions to the Dimensions of
Poverty," began his address by
taking a quick audience poll:
How many favor guaranteed
annual income and do not favor
grades, and how many are against
guaranteed income but favor a

During a reception that followed his address, Theobald sat

students to continue the discussion.

* From Spray Gas To Super Grass
Weapons, for use both at home and abroad, seem to have come
into vogue recently. Several news stories appearing within the space
of a week have brought before us the latest developments in this
enchanting field.
For domestic use, there is first of all a device affectionately named
"the nutcracker." Time magazine describes the nutcracker as consisting
of "two foot-lon- g
plastic sticks joined at one end by four short nylon
cords." Among this little jewel's attributes are its ability to crush
skulls when properly swung as well as to break any limbs that should
happen to be thrown up as a natural means of defense. The nutcracker
also doubles as a nifty handcuff which is placed you guessed it, like
a nutcracker around the fugitive's wrist and can be squeezed to induce "severe, immobilizing pain" should any attempt be made at
resistance.
Significantly, the Michigan state police and some 45 other local
forces are using the weapon on an experimental basis. Perhaps the object is to see how fast these officers can force their criminals to resort
to firearms instead of more conventional escape mechanisms when
they are confronted by police?
Quite in character with this development was the disclosure in
of a study by the District of Columbia Public
Sunday's Courier-JournHealth Department on the potential hazards of using chemical mace
al

another efficient, nonlethal weapon. The study indicates that the
spray-ca- n
weapon may cause permanent damage to the lungs, kidneys
and liver and eyes of persons encountering it. The study also bluntly
points out that the Food and Drug Administration never even bothered
to test the spray for these effects.
It seems that riot control by practically any means is more important to the U.S. Army and other mace customers than is the welfare
of the people it is used against. But perhaps that should not come as
any surprise.
The next weapon falls under the category of chemical warfare. As
ominous as that may sound, this invention may actually have some
positive aspects, although this must be purely by accident.
The weapon, a potent form of synthetic marijuana, "would be a
humane weapon for limiting the cohesiveness of an enemy force while
not destroying life," one drug expert has said. Sending our potential
enemies, and there should be plenty of them because of antagonisms
developing from the use ofourother weapons, into a temporary euphoria
rather than into a permanent and gory death may not be a bad means
of warfare at that.
The only problem is that we would probably never be able to stop
warfare. Everyone will be virtually clamoring for it.

sentiment on any issue would be unattainable on the UK campus. But they
refuse to concede defeat. They reason
that a very mild form of protest against
an injustice, boycotting the Student Center Crille, for instance, would do much
to freshen the stifling air of apathy while
promoting a worthy cause.
This type of protest is what one student phraseologist in a different context
called "moderate rebellion." Indeed, if
one can rebel moderately, this is the opportunity. In an environment as
mediocre as ours, a failure to
kiss the buttocks of a distinguished dean
might be construed as rebellious. This is
why the administration feared a rebellion

the executive branch of SG valiantly intervened to implant the provincial kiss
while mumbling the prescribed irrelevan-de- s
and leaving the students up the proverbial creek.
As alumni of this great university,
we will be able to tell some startling
stories of our college days to our offspring. We will be able to say that in a
day of movement, of change and improvement, ours was the class that kept its
cool, the cool that preserved the frozen
calm of complacency.
Our immediate infamy has already
spilled over to the University. UK is

But the specific issue this week is the
Crille boycott. Everyone is acquainted
with the plight of the California grape
workers, the refusal of the grape producers
to do anything to alleviate the conditions,
and the nationwide reaction to the problem. Every student also should be aware
of the University's refusal to stop purchasing grapes for its facilities. The University claims that the devotion many
of its custom en have for grapes would
outweigh any humanitarian feeling it
might have. This is the object of the
boycott, to gently convince the University
of the necessity of withholding the purchasing of graphs.
The technicalities of the boycott should

The major objection many students
express in regard to the Crille picnic is
not as to why it is being conducted,
but by whom. For years we have been

trained to categorize
as fairies, uninhibited girls as nymphs,

people as dirty. To revise categories takes some original thought
on our part. To organize a protest movement takes some unselfish action on our
part. This is why the concerned people,
or not, often initiate worthwhile actions, while unoriginal, selfish
people resent it.
To eat grapes or not to eat grapes
seems a very trivial dilemma. But perhaps its ramifications are something to
think about.
