Second Bitch-In Brewing
Rights Committee Says

By FRANK mowch

Negro students at the Uni—
versity will hold their second
Bitch- In m six months Sept. l3to
tell people just whats it's like to
be a soul brother here.

A Bitch-In, however, is only
one of several major projects out-
lined Thursday night at the initial
meeting of the Campus Commit-
tee on Human Rights.

Others were: '

—Initiating a major recruiting
drive to get Negro students to
the University.

—Continuing investigation of
off-campus housing problems in
the immediate UK area.

—Concentrating some effort
toward integrating fraternities
and sororities here.

—Organizing a structured for-
um among professors, Negro and
white students.

— Bringing a major speaker to
campus. Possibilities include
Claude Brown, LeRoy Jones,
Cleveland Sellers or social critic
Michael Harrington.

—Setting up a display table
at the Activities Fair tonight

Record Number Of Students
Drop-Adds Heavy

Register;

Registration continued to
move smoothly Thursday as
14,475 students completed the
process.

The figure represented an in-
crease of 1,175 over the same
period last year.

Dr. E. W. Ockerman, dean of
admissions and registrar, is pre-
dicting a total registration of
14,900 students.

“Up to this point, things have
gone well,” Dr. Ockerman said.

New freshmen registered to-
taled 2,500, essentially the same
as the last two years.

This trend is in line with the
plan for Lexington to become a

At Student Center

junior-senior campus, Dr. Ocker-
man said.

A total of 528 students came
to Lexington from the Com-
munity Colleges, an increase of
164 over last fall.

876 Grad Students

By Wednesday evening 876
graduate students had register-
ed, but the number is expected
to increase as late registration
progresses.

Professional school
ment was also up.

Enrollment for evening school
was also higher this fall than
last, with 996 students régister-
mg.

enroll-

“What concerns me at pre-
sent is the large number of
transfer students who apply, are
accepted, and do not cancel,
but simply do not show up,"
Dr. Ockerman said.

Eight hundred forty-nine
have registered, he said, but at
least 500 more had applied.

“At this point I’m unable to
explain it," he said.

9 Per Cent Are Part-Time

The ratio of part-time stu~
dents to full-time students has
remained approximately the
same as last year—nine per cent.

Enrollment at the community

m the Great Hall of the Student
Center where students may talk
about CCHR and Negro life in
general at UK.

No clear-cut plan of action
has been described on any of
the projects except the Bitch-In
and the display tonight. How-
ever, a second CCHR meeting has
been set for 7:30 p.m. Thursday
in the Student Center to clarify
further Bitch-In plans and other
goals.

CCHR President Bill Turner
sat with about eight other mem-
bers at a table in the grill and
spoke enthusiastically about the
year ahead.

“We gotta show people we're
not just complacent about things
at UK—at least I know I'mnot,"
he said.

A corridor advisor in Haggin
Hall, Turner said of students in
the dorm: “They wanta talk
about 'the problem' but they
don't. Maybe it's maturity, may-
be it’s being too close to home
still."

The "problem" is Negro life
at UK.
And the "problem" is the

subject matter for the Bitch-In,
to be held on the Student Center

Patio from 12 to 2 p. m. a week
from Wednesday.-

UK s first Bitch- In, held April
,12, was intended to last two
hours, but lasted three and one-
half and probably drew some
4,0“) to 5H!) observers over the
afternoon.

In other areas, he said about
five Negroes plan to go through
fraternity rush this year. He said
several fraternities had indicated

an interest in adding Negroes to
their membership.

There was some disagreement
in the meeting over whether
CCHR should focus its primary
attention on recruiting more Ne-
gro students to UK or whether
it should concentrate on improv-
ing conditions here.

Last year several CCHR mem-
bers went to predominantly black
Dunbar High School in Lexing-
ton to recruit Negro students.
Turner said visits also have been
approved to Central, Male and
Manuel high schools in Louis-
ville.

Turner estimated he had seen
about 30 new Negroes on cam-
pus so far this year.

349‘Rush F rats,
Bids In Two Weeks

Three hundred forty-nirmm'en, divided into two groups, toured
19 fraternity houses Thursday night in the second night of rush.

The total represented an 80—
man increase in mshees over
last fall.

The houses were divided in-
to two groups, and the rushees
visited one-half of the houses
Wednesday and the other half
Thursday.

Open rush will be three days
and a weekend shorter this year
than in the past. Bid night is
Thursday, Sept. 14.

It was usually held on Sun-
day.

‘3?

“We tried to shorten rush to
make it easier on the rushee,”
Robert Elder, new fraternity
advisor, said.

“Our main concern is that it
doesn’t interfere with the aca-
demic life of the rushee."

There will also be no “silent

hour" before rushees are bidded
on. It was generally considered
year’s

ungovemable by last
Interfratemity Council.

Activities Fair: Karate, Politics, Religion

By MARTY WEBB

There's something for everyone at the Activi-
ties Fair—even for a 72-year-old woman interested
in karate.

The woman was one of hundreds of persons
expressing interest in more than 40 organizations
soliciting new members at a five-day fair, which
ends Friday night.

Karate Club officials discouraged the woman,
however, questioning whether ‘her broken arm
would limit her club activities;

The fair, organized this year for the first time
during the first school week, is intended to ”pro-
vide the student body and new students with in-
formation about the difierent campus organiza-
tions," said Kendall McIntosh, Student Center
program director.

The organizations are catering to interests
ranging from ”Block and Bridle" to tutorial pro-
jects for high school drop-outs.

Unique Sales Pitches

Space restrictions in the Student Center limit
activities, McIntosh said, but the clubs are making
do with what they have.

Young Republicans counted 339 members by
Wednesday and the Interfratemity Council re-
ported 340 men registering for fall rush.

The Block and Bridle Club, not to be out-

done, displayed a wooden bound scrap book and
issued mimeographed sheets to “encourage stu-
dents to take up animal science as a profession."

Meantime, local political organizations are of-
fering literature from both the left and the right
wings. And the Off-Campus Student Association,
releasing its first edition of The Albatros, its
campus periodical, awarded the bird” to all
new students.

Students for a Democratic Society, Young Re-
publicans, Young Democrats and Young Americans
for Freedom head the list of political organiza-
tions participating in the fair.

, Religious Services Offered

The YMCA "is actively handing out literature
on high school tutorial projects and religion.
A table for the ”Religious Life at the Univer-
sity of Kentucky" offered material on all campus
religious organizations from the Baptist Student
Union to the Christian Science Organization.
Applications are also available for the Student
Center Board. Its activities include executive
board, standing committees, hospitality house,

art cinema, dance and forum, social and special
events, Quiz Bowl and membership.

The fair will end with a dance Friday night,
featuring the Wellingtons and free admission. The
Student Center Theatre also will provide a free
movie.

Black Power Walkout

“New Politics’ Group Aims At LBJ

AP, UPI Dispatches

CHICAGO - Delegates to a
”new politics' ' convention Thurs-
day worked on resolutions call—
ing for ”unconditional negotia-
tions" to end the Vietnam war
and on how to defeat President
Johnson in 1%8.

At least 80 of the 350 Negro
delegates walked out of the
Palmer House and formed the
new "Black People's Conven—
tion," which will meet from Fri-
day to Monday at a church in
an integrated South Side neigh-
borhood.

The new splinter groupwhich
stresses “Black Power— Black
Politics and Black Revolution,"
left the NCNP because, they said,
“It has not involved blacks mean-
ingfully in the initiation, plan—

ning or operation of this (NCNP)
conference. ”

At a rally officially opening
the conference in the Coliseum
Thursday night, Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., in prepared re-
marks, spoke bitterly against the
Vietnam war.

. Dr. King did not, however,
nuke any reference in his speech
to the proposal that he run for
president in 1968 on a third-
party ticket, an idea favored by
some delegates but reportedly un-
appealing to Mr. King.

”No war in our national his-
tory has ever been so violative
of our conscience, our national
interest and so destructive of our
moral standing before the world,"
Dr. King said. ”No enemy has
ever been able to cause such dam—

He appeared after speeches

Life Becomes More Complex
For Girls In The Complex ‘

By OSSILYN ELLIS

Men peering through spacesin
the venetian blinds and women
serving as runners to notify
friends without phones that they
have a caller downstairs are part
of life at the new Dormitory
Complex.

What do the residents in the
complex think of this situation?

Apparently the chaos doesn't
bother too many of them. Doe
Nicholson, a senior from Louis-
ville, said, ”It's just like living

in a hotel with all the luxuries
you could want." Debbie Ben-
nett, a freshman, related that
the rooms were pleasant, “but
walking all the way to Taylor
Education Building at 8 am.
is just terrible."

As far as problems go,it seerm
that freshmen have more than
their share. One freshman woman
explained that her bed fell down
on top of her arms and pinned
her between the bed and her

luggage, which she was attempt-
ing to store beneath the bed.

Although problems on the do—
mestic scene are temporarily an-
noying for many, there appears
to be a bright side for the women.

Just to the right of the front
entrance to Tower B, four ambi-
tious freshmen, Eddy Chappell,
Doug Higdon, Tim Wills and
Forrest Fightmaster, have set up
a table equipped with a Signup
sheet, for all women wishing
dates.

Student Officials, Editors
Move To Dump Johnson

 

 

 

 

 

Last week several hundred col-
lege editors and student govern-
ment officials pledged support to
a “dump Johnson in ’68" move-
ment.

The basis for their discontent
is American policy in Vietnam.

. Not a hot—headedattempt to seek

simple solutions to the war, this
Alternative Candidate Task Force
’68 (ACT 68) says Johnson’s hand-
ling of the Vietnam affair has dem-
onstrated his inability to listen
to the citizenry and to yvork toward
peaceful settlement of the war.

The mandate under which ACT
68 has placed itself is to offer to
the nation a real alternative to
Lyndon Johnson, and hopefully a
real alternative to an illegal war
which everyday is mounting toward
holicaust. "

Young people behind ACT 68
have pointed out Johnson ignored
large scale protests by college stu-
dents last June and last Decem-
ber against the war's escalation.
He has ignored increasing criti-
cism from the Senate. He has ig-
nored the hundreds of university
professors who have spoken out.
He has ignored the reports of such
respected writers as Harrison Salis-
bury, and he has paid no attention
to the evaluations of the nation’s
leading newspapers.

“Our predecessofs tried in good
faith to reason with the adminis-
tration. We are now convinced that
it is necessary to obtain a new ad-
ministration,” the ACT 68 state-
ment read.

Even this week Kentucky COP
Congressman Tim Lee Carter added

his voice to the dissatisfied, stating ,

that by 1968 a third world war may
have eliminated a chance for
change. At the same time both
Democrats and Republicans on the
Senate floor have strongly urged
this week that the whole Vietnam
issue be sent‘ to the United Na—
tions Security Council.

Were there any indication that
Lyndon Johnson is or has been
listening, then perhaps we could
afford to reason together with the
Texan. But there is no such indi-
cation. Instead we bomb antagoniz-
ingly close to the borders of Com-
munist China.

What we must have in 1968,
and what we must work for (lil-
igently is a presidential candidate
who will listen to citizens more

Church-State Separation

The provision of the United
States Constitution that there shall
be no law “respecting an estab-
lishment of religion" has been in-
terpreted to mean that state funds
shall not flow to church-related
schools. Despite attempts to argue
that a more permissive concept
would better fit the requirements
of present-day society, both illus-
trate the wisdom of continuing a
relatively strict separation of church
and state.

Various American states have
similar constitutional provisions,
some even more specific and thor-
oughgoing in their prohibitions
than the federal. New York State's
constitution contains one of the
more restrictive and explicit pro-
hibitions of state aid to church-
related schools and institutions.
It has been misnamed the Blaine
amendment.

Those seeking increased state
aid for their schools and colleges—
such as Citizens for Educational
Freedom, a nondenominational but
predominantly Roman Catholic
group—are working hard to knock
out the Blaine amendment. The
convention now meeting to draft
a new state constitution is conse—
quently under great pressure to
end the strict ban on state funds

to church-related schools and to
adopt in i -"'stead -a more per-
missive clauzi. . ' '
Critics‘gof the Blaine amendment
object to its rigidity. But its com~
parative inflexibility is its great‘
virtue. On some matters the law
needs to hold to a firm position.
When it comes to modifyingthelaw
so that churches can better com-
pete for funds from the public
treasury, we are convinced that a
firm and relatively strict law is
decidedly in'the public interest.
We believe that to permit a scram-
ble by churches" for public funds
would be bad for government, bad
for the churches, and bad for so-

ciety. The churches will add to,

their strength by maintaining their
independence of government, not
by compromising it.

Right now, New York State is
where the action is— where it's
happening. What does happen in
that state’s constitutional conven-
tion will determine whether the
state is increasingly to assdme the
burden of supporting church-spon-
sored institutions and whether the
churches are to become increasingly
beholden to the state. The dele-
gates who must decide this mat-
ter bear no small responsibility.

Smooth, Lineless Registration
pawns Orderly Frustration

By DAVID HOLWI'BK

Perhaps the most frustrating thing
about this year’s registration procedure
is the incredible smoothness with which
students were processed. To those of us
who value harboring a year-to-year grudge
about the registration foul-up, the lack
of any serious problems has proved to be
as much a frustration as any of the old
administrative blunders ever were.

We watched in dismay as ten thou-
sand students were registered in the first
two days. The long lines disappeared into
the coliseum every thirty minutes and, to
our amazement, emerged from the backof
the building in asteady, orderly fashion.
The Forms were‘filled out when our turn

came were confusing at first, but short .

and eventually understandable. Every-
thing went so smoothly that even we
could find nothing to complain about.

We have no explanation for the super-
iority of this year's process. It may have
been new people in the Regist'rar's Of-
fice, or the work of a computer. But the
ease with which students were handled
this year seems to be the exterior mani-
festation of a new attitude toward stu-
dents.

The best example of this new attitude
seems to us to be the gentleman, who

may or may not be named Mr. Morgan,
who was in charge of the ID card pick-
up in the Student Center. The ID pick-
up had given us some hope in its first
two days of operation, as a tremendous
line was always at its doors, and little
visible progress was being made. We were
going to get into a real, old fashioned
registration mess.

There was no line, however, when we
got to the Student Center Art Gallery

at noon on Wednesday. There was only

the man whom we think is Mr. Morgan,
and he efficiently gave us instructions and
ushered us into the gallery where there
were a few students in very short lines
and some very tired looking ladies behind
their desks. We got in line and waited
until our turn came, whereupon we told
the woman at the desk our name.

She leafed through her files once, then
again. “I'm sorry," she said, ”but your
card isn't here."

Just like old times, we thought, as

in the administration annex. We had been
told that we would have to stand in an
exceedingly long line to have our pic-
ture remade, and we were determined
not to do it. We stomped into the office,
stated our case in definite terms and were
told to go back to talk to Mr. Morgan.

We stomped back to the Student Center
and found him still in front of the Art
Gallery ushering another group of students
in. “What can I do for you," he asked
cordially. We explained to him that al-
though we had done all we were sup-
posed to do, our ID card was missing.

"Well," he said, ”It's possible that
you didn't fill out all your forms. If
that's the case . . . " We interrupted

 

.\..

him to say indignantly that we certainly
had filled out all the forms and that
moreover we were not oing to stand in
any two-hundred—foot ine to get a pic-
ture remade. '

He patiently heard us through, then
continued. “Whatever happened," he
went on, “It certainly wasn't your fault
and 1 don't see any reason for you to,
stand in that line. Come back tomorrow
or F riday—whenever you get a chance—
and we'll take care of you in three min-
utes." ,. .

Before we could thank him he had
turned to another handful of studentsw_hg
had gathered at the door and was giving
them instructions in the same calm voice.
We looked through the crowd searching
for an unhappy face, but there didn't
seem to be any. It was a depressing
sight. -
