Foreign Students: 'Top of Their Groups9
By NANCY WEBB

Kernel Staff Writer
Foreign student have always had problems with
English; they have always had to adapt themselves to
American culture and they are usually depicted as more
studious and dedicated than the average American student. According to Mr. Alan Wame, Director of International Student Affairs, the international students
studying at UK are "socially and academically at the
top of their cultural groups at lwme."
So what's new? For one tiling, UK hasn't increased
its international scholarships in over 20 years while
the number of foreign students attending UK has increased. This adds up to a lot less money. Wame
noted that there are "very few students here who don't
have to work" to supplement scholarships and any
financial aid they are receiving.
There are also technical problems the foreign stu

as keeping
dent has that usually go unnoticed-su- ch
in touch with the immigration office and getting a
student visa. "A number of students apply for permanent
residence," Wame said, "not always to live here but
to continue studying after their visa runs out."
Wame called these technical probelms "a nuisance
and frustration," and one of the purposes of his office
is to help the foreign student fill out all the papers
he needs to legally stay here.
The International Student Office (located on the
first floor of the Student Center) also tries to help
with financial, scholastic, and social problems, and
gives counseling whenever needed.
"We have a guitar as part of our standard office
equipment" Wame said. The office also provides coffee,
people to talk to, and a place for the foreign student
to feel at home.
"Most of the students here are graduates," Wame

noted, and added that "many have a B.A. from a university in their own country." The highest concentration is in the field of agriculture and engineering, but
this has gradually changed, Wame says. "It used to
be that almost all the students were in technical fields
now it is changing and there are more in liberal arts,
.
altliough still very few."
UK does not have any intensive training program
in English, so most foreign students who come to UK
already have at least fair English. Most of the 480
students here are Asian, with the largest numbers coming
from Iudia, China and Thailand, respectively.
'
There is: a; great deal of new interest (hat has been
shown in the International Student program lately,"
Wame said." The duties and responsibilities of the
international student committee have recently been expanded, and Warne says he sees "some really positive
signs."

The Kentucky

lor the GOP

University of Kentucky

Although President Nixon's veto of the reform bill to limit party TV
expenditures reeks of base political motives, it may allow for a more
restrictive bill in the next session of Congress. The President pointed
out many shortcomings in the proposed measure which should be implemented; however, his refusal to accept the bill as a foundation for
reform can only lead us to suspect the worst of presidential intentions.
The legislation would not have
been effective until the 1972 campaign so there is little rationale for
the President's not allowing Congress to improve the measure in its
next session. A starving nation
should not be denied the first course
of its reform meal simply because
the dessert will be delayed.

If we accept the fallacy of deference we must conclude that Nixon
was acting in an illegimately partisan manner. Agnew's ringmaster
antics have yielded a heavy box
office profit for the Republican circus, thereby making it more vulnerable to the effects of a bill to
limit campaign TV expenditures.
By his failure to promote a measure which would limit a party's
tendency to sell a candidate in the
manner Proctor and Gamble sells
soap, President Nixon has condoned
the practice because he knows his
party will be better able to sell their
soap.

Kernel Forum: the readers write
Defense of Canadian Acts
lb the Editor

As a Canadian working at the University of Kentucky I must take issue
with your editorial of October 21, 1970.
This editorial was concerned with repression in Canada repression supposedly
caused by the activation of the Emergency War Measures Act.
.Your typical American arrogance in
comparing the UK Student Code with
the domestic policy of a foreign country
and culture was absurd but expected.
.How can you justify your diarrhea of the
pen when you obviously have no comprehension of the situation in Canada?

Canada is in a desperate stateofwar

a war to prevent the disintegration of
the very principles upon which the Do-

minion was founded. These principles are
"peace, order, and good government."
Compare that with your "life, liberty,
and pursuit of happiness." Canadians,
both French and English speaking, stand
wholeheartedly beliind Prime Minister
Trudeau's actions. The War Measures
Act is not revoking the civil liberties of
an entire society because the powers of
this act are not being abused. The powers
of this act are only being used to ferret
out those responsible for the illegal and
criminal acts of kidnapping and murder.
Canada, being a nation of trusting
people, has never fonnulated legislation
to deal with this situation of political
kidnapping. In a country where there

are at least four political sides to every
parliamentary question it would have
been virtually impossible to draw up and
implement effective legislation in time
to prevent more abductions and murders.
Unfortunately, the actions of the FLQ
will cause permanent legislation of this
type to be formulated after the War
Measures Act is lifted. Canadians guard
their civil rights fiercely much more so
than their neighbors to the south, as
evidenced by your creeping and very permanent repression. I doubt if any future
legislation enacted in Canada will ever
reach the paranoiac proportions of that
already in the grasp of American police.
Just wait until the U.S. experiences a
political kidnapping. Everybody remotely
connected with the incident will probably

Williams' Accomplishments
To the Editor.

"Williams' bills have ranged from the
grossly absurd to the completely unin

telligible to the barely relevant." (Ron
Hawkins, "News Commentary," Oct. 15,
1970 Kernel).
The following are a few examples of
Mr. Williams' bills:
1) Call for the establishment of a UK
Black Studies Program (successfully tabled
by "Mr. Relevant," Howell Hopson).
2) Bill for service contracts for all
the televisions on campus which are forever in need of repair.
3) Bill calling for the building of ramp-wafor handicapped students (and bicycle riders).
4) Bill calling for the removal of vending machines which are in constant disrepair.
5) Bill calling for the purchase of a
braille dictionary, encyclopedia and typewriter.
,
The short listing amounts to five times
the productivity of any other representative in the SC Assembly. Perhaps these,
bills are not "relevant" to Mr. Hawkins
because he is neither blind, black, handicapped or lives in a dorm, or rides a
bicycle or gets robbed by vending machines. For my nujney, James Douglas
MacAurthur Williams is the best representative in the assembly and perhaps
Mr. Hawkins sltould quit complaining
and read some of these bill- -it would be
a good lesson in being relevant (he also
might get a few of las facts straight
when reporting for the Kernel on the SC
meeti,,s)- Steve Berry

Off ROTC
To the Editor
Inasmuch as members of the Lexington
Peace Council are opposed to militarism,
in general, and to the presence of a military establishment on a university or high
school campus, in particular, we would
like to recommend the immediate suspension of all ROTC courses from the
UK and high school scenes.
The substance of the ROTC curriculum- the "ABC" fashion in which
military
subjects are taught, the waste of a student's time in idiotic drill and
not to mention the heavy dose
of nationalistic propaganda about as educationally relevant as pledging allegiance to the flag.
At the most, we would like to see
extant military facilities turned over to a
worthwhile and peaceable purpose; at the
least, we would like to see an end to all
academic credit given for ROTC course-worbutton-polishin-

Thirteen Candidates Bid for Seven Seats
As Election Day Approaches in Kentucky
By ELLEN STONE

Kernel Staff Writer
Thirteen candidates vie for Kentucky's
seven U.S. Congressional seats in the
November 3 General Election.
All seven incumbents are seeking reelection, two of whom are unopposed.
They are 1st District Representative Frank
A. Stubblefield of Murray, and William H.
Natcher of Bowling Green, 2nd District
Representative.
Third District incumbent, Republican
William O. Cowger, has two
Romano. L. Mazzoli and American
Party candidate Ronald H. Watson, both
of Louisville.
No races have presented any major
surprises. There have been a few election
complications, however.
Two House hopefuls for the Nov. 3
General Election, Don Pratt and Luther
J. Wilson both Independents, had their
chances dashed recently when the U.S.
Supreme Court declined to hear their
pleas to be included on the ballot. The
two had failed to file on time with the
Kentucky Secretary of State.
Pratt, a former UK student, wanted
to oppose incumbent Democratic Rep.
John C. Watts of the Sixth District.
Wilson a Louisville businessman, wanted
to challenge Third District incumbent
Republican Rep. William O. Cowger.
Pratt's lawyer, UK La w professor Robert Sedler, filed two applications with
the Supreme Court; both were turned
down. One asked that the court schedule an immediate hearing on an appeal
from a lower court decision. The other
asked that the ballots be kept ope
