(in Feb. 20, the Board of Trustees passed
‘30 amendments to the Student (‘ode. to
take effect on Aug, 16, 1973. The amend-
ments were the survivors of 55 proposed
amendments which the Advisory (‘om—
iiiittee on Student (‘ode Revision con-
sidered last semester.

The advisory committee submitted 2:3
recommendations to President (ttis A.
Singletary Singletary‘ then forwarded the
2:3 l‘t‘t‘ttllllilt‘lldiltlt)nS to the Trustee
Student ('ode t‘ommittee. recommending
to of them. amending 5 others. and
discouraging the passage of the other four.

The trustee committee disapproved one
revision. and amended two others. finally
submitting the 20 recommendations which
passed.

These are the recommendations that
made it.

'I‘lll’. IN'I‘lttilll't'TlUN to the code has
changed to include a statement which says
the code does not cover any decisions

concerning a contractual agreement
between the l’niversity and a student.

This change goes with the new article ll
of the code. which was completely
rewritten. The new article ll says rules
and regulations concerning residence hall
residents are provided for in a rental
contract between the l‘niversity and a
student

This means that the code no longer
covers major violations of dorm rules
Jack llall. dean of students, said the
decision of whether or not the contract has
been violated by a particular infraction
will be made by an overall residence halls
administrative board which will be made

Another major change is the rewriting of

Supposedly the war is over. lessning
the need for massive military ex-
penditures. The space program has
been cut to a minimum. A tourniquet
has been placed on higher education

this area.

With these fund-devouring ex-
penditures partially out of the way,
this should be the ideal time for
President Nixon to work on the age—

Instead of increased attention to
the plight of the poor of the country.

Readers views

As the SE(‘ basketball race comes to a
dramatic close. everybody. except for a
certain few. enjoyably generated a
stimulating degree of enthusiasm and
pride at the most recent home game
against Alabama.

This small group of individuals were not
students from our rival school. but were
students who attend ['K. They intensely
cheered for Reggie Warford in the
preliminary game and then ironically
pledged full vocal support for Alabama‘s
learn. It was even more irritating to notice
that these individuals not only remained
seated for the national anthem but noisly
disturbed everyone who was showing a
little respect for custom and country.

i am not the one to judge and condemn
such actions. but I can seriously question
their intentions and appeal to their
maturity. The L'niversity of Kentucky not
only prides itself on its fine basketball
teams but also upon its contribution of
respectable individuals to our society. If
this group has a point to make, I suggest
they venture more appropriate channels of
action.

testifying. Perkins showed tip
unexpectedly. “You are destroying
the forum of the poor. We're going to
do our best to stop you." said Perkins.

Besides this. a suit has been filed
against Phillips charging that he has
“delilwrately and arbitrarily begun to
eliminate the t )Et) (‘onimunity Act ion
Program." and that such actions are
“in clear violation of the law." In
order to finance this action, con»
tributions are being sought so that the
(‘ommunity Action Agencies will not
be forced to suffer as a result of ad-
ministrative dictatorship.

Support of (‘arl Perkins and the
legal action may keep this particular
poverty program in existence. What
will come to pass when the poor are
made to suffer so that an ad-
ministration can cut its budget‘.’

No budget cuts were made when it
was necessary to finance the Vietnam
war. Does this suggest a
misplacement of priorities”?

on race at basketball games

As l‘K students. we should in our own
way support our aspiring basketball team.
We are all in it together. so I can only hope
that this small group of {K students will
consider cheering for the home team and
not the opposition. will show more ap-
preciation for the country they enjoy living
in. and most importantly. will find ways to
benefit their proud race. instead of
disgracing it.

For all students interested enough to go
to the game. let's make it a 100 percent
effort in scaring the hell out of 'I‘cnnessee.

...and a change in parking lots' designations

At the beginning of this school year my
roomates and I purchased a ““( parking
permit. We have now learned that as of
Thursday. March 1. the “B“ & “C" lot
directly adjacent to sorority row will be
changed to an exclusively “B" lot due to
the construction of a new biological
sciences building. Furthermore. the sign
which notified us of the change made it
clear that there would be no provision for
an additional ”"( lot and that we are to
use the remaining, already existing
facilities, Though fully understanding the
extent of the problem we feel there are at
least three reasons why the I'niversity
should reconsider its present decision:

Ill We submit that a significant number
of ””t permits were purchased in strict
reliance upon the present location of ”"(
lots.

(2) It is unjust and unreasonable to
require one class of permit holders to
assume the entire burden of a reducation
in parking facilities.

titi The regulation booklet which ac-
companied the issuance of the permits
contains no provision for a change in
parking lot designations in mid-year and
we submit that such action constitutes a
material change of conditions. thereby.
breaching the contractual relationship
between the l'niversity and the Students.

Because of these reasons we feel the
l'niversity should immediately reverse its

to return their ""( permits We urge that

Reparations:
which way
do we 90?

By FRANK BRUWNING

Perhaps you remember what it was like
sitting in that stuffy pinkishyellow waiting
room while your father underwent open-
heart surgery. or when your wife gave
birth to your first child. or when your
brother was having his face rebuilt after a
near slaughter on the highway.

You know that hospital wards. at best,
are disease swamps. That the tiniest sliver
of a chipped bone. or the smallest air
bubble. released in the blood stream
means death. You know that anesthesia
under any circumstances exacts a
desperate strain on the heart and lungs.

And. perhaps. as your eye wanders
along the genioetric designs in the floor
tile. catching iteself on the flourescent
reflection from above. you wonder how it
would be if a momentary power failure
darkened the operating room just as the
surgeon slipped his scapel into your
father‘s heart.

In the I)eiiiocratic Republic of Vietnam
there is hardly a hospital left standing
where patients and their families can
suffer the luxury of these fears. The finest
medical centers of that country have been
systematically destroyed by the bombs of
the I'nited States Air Force.

Bach Mai

When the bombadicr loosed the door of
Richard Nixon's spleen last Christmas. it
was not merely the 1.200 beds of Bach Mai
hospital that were set to flame. Bach Mai
formed the core of medical training in the
“RV and possessed the most advanced

technical facilities available in the
country.
Bach Mai. alas. was not the only

hospital, There were also: Thanh Hoa
Hospital. Vinh I’hong Leprosarium. Quang
Rinh Medical School and Hospital in Dong
Hoi. Ninh Binh provincial hospital.
Haiphong‘s (‘zechoslovakia Friendship
Hospital. Hanoi's Vietnam USSR
friendship hospital. and Thanh Han
provincial hospital all bombed within the
last year.

It is as though every medical care center
from the tip of Maine to (‘hicago to Key
Biscayne plus Texas and the West (‘oast
were obliterated. in the midst of a cholera
epidemic.

Seven months ago former Attorney
General Ramsey (‘lark visited North
Vietnam, He reported: “Throughout
Vietnam bomb damage to what appeared
to be purely civilian targets was extensive.
I personally observed schools. hospitals.
churches. residential quarters of cities and
whole villages. dike sections and water
control facilities which had been damaged
or destroyed by bombing. I also visited
children and old people in hospitals who
stated they had been wounded by bombing.
and talked with other civilians who
described losing members of their families
because of bombing raids.

Military targets

“Yet there are no significant military
targets in the North“ no submarine stalls.
no ball bearing factories. no torts or
military bases. There are just the cities
and villages. the few dirt roads. the
several small railroad lines. the dikes
built over the centuries that support their

civilization. rockets. guns, and the people.

“I arrived in Hanoi 2 pm. or 3 pm. Sat.
.11in 29. Although the airport is quite close
(perhaps three or four milest. it took us
three to four hours to get into the city
because of the air alerts we experienced en
route. I spent the next several days in
Hanoi. and there I visited bomb~damaged
sites. including schools. one hospital.
several housing areas. a tile factory. and
the like. Altogether I clocked over 1.200
kilometers by jeep in about six provinces. I
went down to Thai Binh and saw damage
to the dikes and sluices and schools and a
leprosy hospital that had been bombed
three days before I arrived. I saw three
churches in one little village and all three
were severely damaged.”

(‘hurches. schools. hospitals. homes: all
have been the targets of American
military might. and as such each is an
indictment of the criminality of US. ac-
tions. Not merely a moral criminality. but
a precise legal one. These laws are well
known. even to the pilots and captains who
flew the missions and who are now being
welcomed home as heroes.

The US Army Field Manual of 1956 (27—
10) itself restates the famous declaration
of the preamble to the Hague Regulations
1V. namely that guidelines for the
prosecution of war will depend upon “the
usages established among civilized
peoples. the laws of humanity and the
dictates of the public conscience."

The weapons

Even the weapons used display gross
violation of law (again the Hague
Regulations of 1907. Article 23 (e) 1 when
burning. gluing phosphorus and plastic
hook pellets undetectable by X-ray are
incorporated into the bombs. Bombings of
cultural institutions like churches and
medical facilities and private homes are
likewise covered by many of the same
conventions in addition to the various
Geneva agreements of 1925 and 1949.

“Wanton" destruction is absolutely
prohibited by the law of warfare. much of
which has been incorporated into the
Army Field Manual: “loss of life and
property must not be out of proportion to
the military advantage to be gained (para.
41);" “Devastation as an end in itself or as
a separate measure of war is not sane.
tioned by the law of war (para. 56)."

In short. senseless and wanton
destruction constitute war crimes.

The judgments at Nuremburg set clear
precedents in large part authored by the
US. Government—for the responsibility of
prosecuting those leaders and officers who
were the authors of such crimes under the

 

German Reich. Moral. legal. and
historical consistency cries out for the
prosecution and conviction of Richard
Nixon. Melvin Laird. William West-
moreland. (‘reighton Abrams. Robert
MacNamara. Ellsworth Bunker. and
scores of others.

But justice belongs to the mighty. and
the chances that the Congress of the
United States. or any other legal authority.
will undertake to keep its legal respon-
sibilities and bring the criminals to trial.
those chances are small indeed.

Even if Richard Nixon cannot be given
the fate of Adolph Eichmann. there are
other responsibilities which the American
people can confirm. These are the legal
obligations to rebuild that society which
we have rent apart.

No 'real' war

The leaders of the l.'nited States have
maintained and continue to maintain
publicly that they never entered an actual
“war” in Indochina. pointing out that they
never really “declared" war. that they
were merely maintaining an alliance
commitment. Further it has been argued
that the practices of that ally—~General
Thieu‘s regime in Saigon—are not within
the purview or control of the United States
since it regards this regime as the
legitimate. sovereign authority in South
Vietnam.

Yet again the Army Field Manual (2740.
articles 500 and 501 1 makes it clear that the
criminal responsibility of conspirators.
inciters. accomplices and commanders
does not depend on the coincidence of the
nationality of other persons or authorities
with whom they share their guilt. Rather.
it is the commanders duty (and none who
have read about or been to Vietnam can
doubt who has really been in charge there)
to refrain from ordering or to prevent or
punish war crimes committed by allied
troops as well as by one‘s own troops.

So it is that the United States bears
direct responsibility both for its own
crimes against the people of the North as
well as for the crimes against prisoners.
refugees and citizens in the South com—
mitted by the Saigon regime.

But what can the patriotic American
citizen do'.’ The lives of perhaps two
million Vietnamese people cannot be
restored. Yet we can return. immediately.
to the law. reminding our legislators—
among them Sen. Marlow Cook whose
recent statements suggest he has difficulty
reading the law-Aof our obligations to at
least pay compensation.

The right of the victims of war crimes to
demand compensation is absolutely
guaranteed in Article 3 of the Hague
Regulations IV of 1907 and affirmatively
quoted in Article 495 of the US. Army
Field Manual: the belligerent party which
violates the Regulations is under

obligation to “pay compensation:” and.
the belligerent party ”shall be responsible
for all (illegal) acts committed by persons
forming part of its armed forces."

 

 

So it is when senators of any stripe ob«
ject to paying compensation to the In-
dochinese peoples ~be they Marlow Cook
or William Fulbright-v» it is they who flaunt
the law of the land. laws reiterated by
specific treaties. by membership in the
l'nited Nations. and by reaffirmation in
the (‘onstitution of the United States itself.

One cannot help but sympathize with
Sen. Fulbright's hesitance to become
reinvolved in Asia. But if there is meaning
to the legal girders of the republic. then
neither Sen. Fulbright nor Sen. Cook has
any choice. for the duty is theirs both as
citizens and public servants to obey the
law and pay what is owed.

Richard Nixon. it is said. intends to
supply “aid” to North Vietnam: two and'a
half billion dollars. But against two and a
half billions. one must compare. just since
Nixon took office:

~()ver 13 million bomb craters have
been created.

r()ver 1.7 billion cubic yards of earth
have been displaced. including 750.000
