Dr. Paul Oberst, Winston Miller and Sheryl

Anti-Chand- ler
By GUY MENDES

A petition is being circulated
on campus calling for the resignation of A. B. Chandler from
the University Board of Trustees.
Initiated Wednesday, the petition was begun in reaction to a
statement the former governor
made during last week's UK football game. A story in the Louis-

Government

Wednesday night. The speakers
were Dr. Paul Oberst, a member of the Faculty Senate and
a faculty member of the Board
of Trustees, and Sheryl Snyder,
one of the two student members
of the Faculty Senate.
Dr. Oberst spoke in favor of
the policy passed by the Faculty
Senate last week. Snyder said
that he and Winston Miller, the
student members of the Senate,
opposed the resolution because

In a related move, a student
asked the UK Student Government to consider a resolution to
ask Chandler "what he meant"
by the statement.
The student, John Simon,
could not introduce a motion
to that effect because he was not
an SG member but he told the
Kernel that an SG representative
told him he would introduce such
a resolution at the next SG meeting.
Simon said the petition could
possibly be presented at a trustees' meeting for "the best effect." He hopes there will be
about 2,000 names on the petition at that time.
One coed who was circulating
one of the 45 copies of the petition said she did not expect
it to cause Chandler's resignation. She said the point was to
bring attention to Chandler's
remark.

"It can totally reject our policy or make one of its own."
', He said that the policy was
a basis by which the university
could explain to critical citizens
of the state and to the legislature
the academic relevancy of a
speaker.
"This is a policy I hope everyone can get behind faculty, stu-

pro-

posed speech or program be relevant to the educational mission
of the University in the providing of opportunity for
objective evaluation and
dissemination of knowledge."
Dr. Oberst repeatedly emphasized that this clause will not
constitute prior censorship.
"The one thing that is not
contemplated is that the Faculty Senate will set up a censorship board," he said. "The
policy is clear; the notion of no
prior censorship is clear."
"As I understand the policy,
it's a policy against censorship,"
he added.
Dr. Oberst explained that this
is basically the same policy that
former President John Oswald defended before the state legislature
and the Board of Trustees last
spring. The issues at that time
were the conference on the war
and draft, the Students for a
Democratic Society (SDS) conference and the speech by Marxist
Herbert Aptheker.
Dr. Oberst said that President
Oswald later suggested that the
Faculty Senate formulate a policy

because a
policy would be better than an administration-formulated
policy.
According to Dr. Oberst, President Oswald told the legislature that free speech always involves a risk but rather than censor, it would be better to resort
to the law after it is broken.
Dr. Oberst said that he could
imagine situations where persons
who broke the law while speaking on campus could have their
speeches stopped and possibly
be arrested.
He added that it might also
be necessary to put off the campus speakers who were disrupting
the functioning of the University.
Dr. Oberst stated that the
policy had asked the Board of
Trustees to permit the Faculty
Senate to formulate the rules.
He added, however, that the
Board made the governing regulations for the University and could
operate as it sees fit.

Snyder then explained why he
and Miller voted against the resolution. He said that it was because of the ambiguity of the
academic relevancy clause, implying that he would have backed
the resolution had it not been
for that clause.
He said that there were three
forces in operation that brought
about this policy the students,
the taxpayers of the state and
the legislature.

* Cops And Democracy
There has been much criticism
in recent weeks of the Supreme
Onirt for allegedly 'hand-cuffinthe policemen of our nation. Many
suggestions have been offered on
the matter. Some, like George Wallace's "If we would turn the country over to the policemen for a
couple of years, they'd straighten
things out," are extremely frightening.
Louisville police chief C. J.
Hyde made two remarks to a hearing of the Kentucky
Activities Committee(KUAC) Tuesday that rivaled those of Wallace
and Richard Daley Chicago's
mayor who last spring
his troops to "shoot to
ordered
kill" at looters.
Chief Hyde told KUAC that
police should be immune from prosecution if they are forced to kill
anyone while attempting to put'
down a riot and that participants
in riots should be held criminally
liable and subject to murder charges
for the deaths of any police officers killed during disturbances.
Chief Hyde's suggestions defy
all conception of a man being
innocent until proven guilty. To
give police the right to take human
life without being subject to questions about it is ridiculous. How
many people would have been killed
in Chicago if the police there would
have been acting with the knowl
g'

police-

-minded

edge that they could not be prosecuted for their actions?
Though the Louisville policemen who were charged with killing
two black men during recent disturbances were cleared recently,
doubt remains as to whether the
killings were justified. To give police the power to decide on the
spur of the moment that a man
must lose his life without it being
justified later would no doubt give
police the power some of their
ranks have been demanding like
y
the group of
policemen
in Brooklyn who charged into a
courtroom and attacked a group
of Black Panthers a few weeks
off-dut-

ago.

Hyde's other suggestion that
participants in riots be subject to
murder charges for slain policemen is a true example of law and
order without justice. Like those
in large groups of people in Chicago who were attacked because
one person called a police officer
a "Pig," it is unjust to label a
large number of people murderers
because one individual commits
a crime.

Interpreted broadly, these

At the football game Saturday I sat racist associations when used as such

am again.

The spectacle struck me as being peculiarly sinister. We hear a lot about the
sickness of our times, for which phenomenon the hippies always serve as handy
evidence and example. How lucky we'd
be if our ills really were concentrated
in them, since they are few, outcast, and
easily distinguishable in a crowd.
This group at the game, on the other
hand, was comprised of clean-shavecarefully barbered, tweedily dressed fellows who could've been anybody's
brother, son, or friend. Yet their behavior
was more obviously and ominously sick
than that of any hippies I know. It was
frightening to see a set of UK students
who are considered normal, and even
privileged in a social and material sense,
betray intense hatred of themselves and
of Negroes.
n,

One indication of their distaste for
themselves was the way they drank. Although the afternoon was theirs to enjoy,
they seemed intent on findingthe quickest

moderation. They simply imbibed until
and zombie-likthey were glassy-eye- d
some of them barely able to lean on each
other or their dates and navigate the
stadium steps.
e,

An epitomizing image stuck in my
mind: the face of a potentially
boy who drank until he vomited.
Held up and fanned by two "brothers,"
he slumped on the bench, his dull eyes
staring at nothing, his sweaty face red
from heat and drink, with evidence of
d
his late sickness on his chin and
shoes. It didn't really look like
fun. It looked more like a kind of misery
which anyone who liked himself would
avoid.
fine-looki-

As the game went on, they got drunker
and drunker, renditions of "Dixie" become more frequent and more garbled,
and their behavior became increasingly
mob-lik-

e.

Possibly no single one of them

at a game by himself, without the

col-

lective support of his brotherhood, would
deliver himself of the sentiments at least
half of them shouted.

The truth of this was demonstrated
when one of their number yelled, in a
mocking accent, at a Negro student going down the stadium steps, "Hey, boy,
how you doin today?" To the bumfuz-zlemeof the heckler, the man turned
around, came back up the steps, sat
down beside the boy, and in a genuine
brotherly way shook his hand and replied, "I'm fine. How are you, brother?
I believe you made a mistake. I'm a
who at first
man." And the name-calle- r,
kept up his bluster and his mock accent
with, "I'm fine, brothah, how you?"
was abashed to have the point pressed.
When the black man asked the white
boy what he considered himself, he said,
truthfully, "I'm a boy."

nt

In short, these "good" regular boys
(i.e. not hippies or hoods) betrayed a
desperate shortage of ordinary human
feeling. Evidently they don't even stop
to imagine how they would feel had
they been born black instead of white
and they took themselves to a ballgame
on a sunny afternoon only to have a
crowd of adolescent drunks hurl insult
after insult at them.

They showed their hatred of black
people in a much less refined manner.
I won't argue the tired points about
"Dixie" and the Confederate flag, w hich

Short of a miraculous turning of the
tables, I can't think wltat might be done
about them or for them. I do suggest
this: anybody who wants a close look at
one manifestation of wliat's wrong with
us, should sit near the Confederate flag
.at the next football game.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
Mr. Bob Brown, we are informed, will
be a contributing columnist to The Kentucky Kernel. In his first column printed
in the Kernel of Monday, Sept. 23, 1968,
he has discredited not only himself but
John Cooper also. He has violated the
first tenet of objectiveness, factual accuracy. John Cooper was a candidate for
president of the Student Covemment last
spring but his platform did not include
the abolition of SC. Furthermore, the two
letters published by the Kernel, which
had been exchanged between Robert Ha-ga- n
and O.K. Curry, which, as Mr. Brown
so aptly put,
threw a wrench in
the political machine of O.K. Curry,

should be more discriminant in the selection of material which they print as a
regular part of their newspaper.

Academic Freedom
University Of California Action To Limit Appearances
Of Panther Eldridge Cleaver Sparks Student Protests
BERKELEY (CPS)-Stud- ent
'protest rallies have been scheduled this week on lx)th the Berkeley and UCLA campuses of the
University of California in the
wake of a weekend Board of Regents meeting which limited
black militant Eldridge Cleaver
to one campus lecture appearance this fall.

The UCLA academic senate
met over the weekend to denounce the move, and the senate
at Berkeley is expected to take
similar action this week.
Cleaver, widely known as min-

ister of information of the
d-based
Black Panther Party
Oaklan-

for

Presidential

Self-Defens-e,

r,

candidate of the Peace and Free
dom Party, and author of the
"Soul on Ice," a
book on the Negro experience in
America, had been scheduled to
best-sellin-

deliver a series of ten lectures
on racism on the Berkeley campus as part of an experimental
course in race relations.
Also scheduled to address the
seminar are black and Mexican-America- n
writers, psychiatrists
and Oakland Police Chief Charles
Cain.
No sooner had word of his
scheduled appearances gone out
than outraged cries were heard
from Republican Senatorial candidate Max Rafferty, presently the
state's superintendent of public
instruction, and from California
Governor Ronald Reagan.
Reagan likened the appointment of Cleaver to "asking Bluebeard the Pirate, the
to be a marriage counselor," and demanded that the
Regents rescind the appointment.
Rafferty called Cleaver a "racist
bigot" and said if he were al

g

lowed to lecture, the state's educational system was in need of
complete overhaul. Even Jesse
Unruh, Speaker of the California
Assembly and usually a supporter of the university, said he
thought the appointmei.t unwise.
Reagan Threatens Investigation
The State Senate approved a
resolution censuring the university for inviting Cleaver to lecture, and Reagan threatened a
"legislative investigation of the
university from top to bottom"
if the Panther were allowed on
campus. It wasn't, he said, that
he thought the students weren't
responsible enough to be able to
hear whomever they chose, but
that the state taxpayers would
not stand to see their money
going for such purposes.
The Regents, obviously hoping to calm the fires from both

sides, approved a resolution
Charles Hitch, head
administrator of the university 's
nine campuses, which limited
Cleaver (and the other participants in the seminar) to one
appearance rather than ten.
Several of the Regents expressed their reservations alxjut
Cleaver and his lecture engagement, but said they would not
vote to ban him entirely because
of "the danger in letting the
Regents start naming who could
and could not appear as
