Community Colleges Preparing
Their Own Student Rights Bill
The .UK .Community College

a new bill of student rights and

a student charter for its

The student charter is being
patterned after the main campus
Student Code, also currently
under revision. Final approval of
the community college code by
the Board of Trustees is expected
at its May meeting, said Dan
Tudor, coordinator of student affairs for the community colleges.

code on the Lexington campus.
Tudor said the local staff will

it those portions (such as ho using

The bill will then be sent to
the various community college

Correcting Student Incompetence;
Can Curriculum End Protests?
By TERRY DUNHAM

Assistant Managing Editor
COLLEGE CURRICULUM AND STUDENT
PROTEST, by Joseph J. Schwab, University of
Chicago Press, $4.93.
According to Joseph Schwab, college protests
are the results of "incompetencies" in the thought
processes of students and could be eliminated
by educational changes administered to the faulty
curriculum.
Throughout College Curriculum and Student
Protest, he builds a fascinatingly complete outline for the curriculum he recommends to replace
the present one. It is a program of training HOW
to think, rather than WHAT to think, and though
it is not new in educational philosophy, it is
competently developed and excellently presented
through exciting examples of classroom methods.
His case is compelling.
The unfortunate fact remains that Schwab does
not satisfactorily explain how the greater competency in reasoning will eliminate the current
dissension, or for that matter, dissension at any
time, in any place, and in any society. The flaw
in "Curriculum and Protest" is that if the logical
processes proscribed by Schwab are employed
in analysis of the book, the only conclusion possible is that he has in no way justified his original assertion that it will provide the cure.
It remains to Schwab's credit that such a
great shortcoming is only slightly disconcerting
in its context, the fascinating program itself being
so well presented that the reader sees its usefulness
even if not precisely the usefulness Schwab
envisions and is only slightly bothered by the
author's illusion.
His program would, in fact, reduce conflict
between generations in several ways, though they
are not ways he recognizes. First, the emphasis
on logic and support for any reasoning position
would be beneficial training for student dissidents,
as it would be for every individual, and would
enable youthful protesters to more articulately
present organized complaints demands, requests,
what have you in a fashion much more difficult
to resist or ignore.
And once the first generation of students trained
under the new curriculum was of an age that it

e7"

was in charge

of the institutions of higher

learn-

ing, the dialogue between students and administrators would be an exciting and productive affair.
In his confidence in the administrator's point
of view and in the rightness of. their positions,
Schwab is forced to a few awkward stances.
One occurs when he describes how seniors in the
roles, in
new curriculum would assume intcm-lik- e
which they would quietly observe school administrators carrying out their functions and discuss
with them the reasons for various procedures
and conclusions.
relaThe students would, in these
tionships, have to swear to keep all they observed
within their confidence, he says. The obvious
result is that seniors would either be silenced
for one frustrating year, or successfully administration-trained,
in either case to that latter Roup's
great satisfaction, or else would find themselves
conscience-bounto renege on their agreement in
order to speak out on what they feel must be
revealed.
Schwab's conclusion is faulty because though
the new curriculum and emphasison sound reasoning would facilitate confrontations and accommodations, it is doubtful that all such accommodations would be made by students, as he suggests.
It seems more likely that a great deal of compromise would be made, and perhaps the traditional
but no more carefully reasoned positions of the
administrators might be the ones required to do the
accommodating.
If an administration untrained in the new logic,
or trained in it but unwilling to use it, were to
fail to yield to fully reasoned arguments, the
dissent of bitter youths might be even more severe.
Hopefully we might, instead, come and reason
together.
Most importantly, the work leaves an indelible
impression of sound thought processes: new methods and old principles, exciting classroom techniques and a subtle, yet gripping philosophic
indoctrination. The reader can only come away
remembering rare college courses in which the
most memorable hours spent were in debate
and discussion, and not in lecture, and this,
though an oversimplification, is Schwab's course
of the future.

5 Students Charged In Theft From Sigma Chi House

By TERRY DUNHAM
Assistant Managing Editor
Five University students were
arrested one week ago Saturday
and charged with grand larceny
after allegedly taking trophies
from the Sigma Chi fraternity
house.
In Police court late last week
Judge WalterTackett complained
of having to deal with what he
called "more or less a prank,"

and told the five he would con- Interfraternity Council adviser
sider dropping the grand larceny Bob Elder said that the fraternity
charges if they worked all day has been "put on notice" that

Saturday at Woodland Park.
The five are: Edward S. Cross-fiel21; Morgan C. Atkinson,
20; John Mcihaus, 23; and Frank
Burke Jr., 21, all of Louisville,
and Mieczyslaw Kowalewski, 21,
Saginaw, Mich.
Three of the five are members
of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

such actions will not be toler-

ated in the future.

d,

He emphasized, however, that

the theft was the action of individuals and was not considered
a "fraternity action." The other
two individuals are inactive members of other fraternities.
Most of the Sigma Chi mem

bers were in Catlinburg, Tenn.,
the night of the theft, for the
chapter's spring fonnal. Several
members had remained home,
however, to study for an embryology exam, Elder said, and
called police when they saw persons running from the house with
the trophies. Police caught the
five students several blocks away.
Among the trophies was the
Little Kentucky Derby trophy

Elder said, "We're hoping it can

Tackett, in offering the alternative "punishment" for the
five, said he would consider the
case again in one month and at
that time decide whether to drop
the grand larceny charge. Grand
larceny is the theft of property
woth more than $100.
The University will also investigate the theft as a violation
of the Student Code, Elder said.

Education

e

It would he unpopular almost
anywhere north of Lexington to
criticize the state's decision to
Northern Kentucky State
College (NKSC), and, indeed, few
prominent leaders have ventured
to do so. The Kentucky Post, the
area's largest newspaper, has created a bandwagon on which most
citizens have been only too happy
to ride. The paper and local leaders have argued that the area, one
of the three largest in population
in the state, has gone for too long
without a
four-yecollege, thus forcing area youth
to go without an education. The
overcrowded Northern Kentucky
Community College, one of the
first such UK extensions, is inadequate to serve the area, they
have maintained.
During the last session of the
legislature, the local leaders found
an open ear, and the General Assembly passed a bill establishing,
on paper, NKSC. The state Council
on Public Higher Education recommended in January that NKSC
be given control over the Northern
Community College in Covington,
and late last month a Campbell
County site was announced for
the new college. NKSC is fast becoming a reality.
What seems to have been forgotten, at least by Northern
during this whole affair,
is the overall effect the creation of
NKSC will have on the state's
higher education system.
At present, the state is supporting fully four regional universities, Kentucky State College at
Frankfort and UK and its 15 community colleges. And in addition,
the University of Louisville is to

enter the state system for budgeting purposes by next year. NKSC,
with an estimated $10 million beginning price tag (to be requested
from the 1970 General Assembly),
will make the fight for higher education tax dollars even more vigorous than in the past. It has been
reported already that 1970 may be
a lean year for higher education,
since 1968 was not, and the lower
education system is reportedly seeking revenge.
A clamp on state funds can
mean only one thing: students will
suffer. Either needed expansion will
be halted, at student expense, or
tuition, dorm rates and other fees
will be increased, also at the student's expense. And this is what
the Northern Kentucky crusaders
seem to have most neglected.
Money going to NKSC might otherwise have gone to make education
better and cheaper for them. The
community college could have improved to grant a better and, perhaps, cheaper education to area
students, and those students would
have entered a main UK campus
featuring low tuition, dorm and
other fee rates.
If one considers the possibility of these increased rates for all
state schools, NKSC included, the
expenses of traveling to and from
the NKSC campus (it is a good
15 miles from many points in Boone
County to the campus) and the
normal living expenses one encounters either in Lexington or Covington, NKSC might not provide the
cheap education the crusaders have
said it will.
There is little that can be done
now but mourn. Maybe the whole
state really should do just that.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The opinions expressed in this regular column are those
of its author and do not necessarily represent the opinions of the Kernel.
Student
Government
Wednesday's
election has attracted an unusually weak
list of representative candidates. Of the
33 candidates who seem to be running
there are no more than six whom I feel
are qualified to fill the 16 seats. I have
attempted to find as much objective information about these people as I could.
The opinions I offer are biased. I have no
personal acquaintances in the representative contest, but the candidates I recommend have an unfair advantage because
they possess something the others lack,
qualifications or potential.
It is seldom that SG observers agree
on anything, but this spring it seems to be
the consensus of opinion that the best
of the candidates is Jerry Legere. Presently an SG representative, Legere has learned
from the experience, showing himself to
be one of the more mature, productive
and conscientious members of the assembly.
There being no other incumbents
so I'll move to the
worthy of
unprovens, keeping in mind that the only
thing worse than no record is a poor one.
Bill Dawson heads the slate here. After
serving actively in his community college,
Dawson has shown interest mostly in the
information of the YAF chapter on campus. He is, however, one of the few progressive conservatives on campus, and he
advocates a responsible type of representation that is badly needed.
A SAH candidate, Buck Pennington,
offers the most thorough campaign. The
programs Pennington has proposed liave
definite advantages for dorm residents.
Even though hedoesn'tconcentrateonthe

primary issue of compulsory housing, Pennington urges better hours for women
and a closer connection between SG and
dorm governments so the dorm resident's
views of major issues will be
better-represente-

.

d.

I feel another SAR candidate, James
Embry, is worthy of election. Embry
has distinguished himself to some extent
as (former) president of the Black Student
Union, but his potential has not been
fully explored. At a time when the University community must be receptive to
the black student and his needs, it seems
particularly appropriate that a qualified
representative be elected that can accurately express these attitudes.
In attitudes to being a keenly intelligent and perceptive man, Lyn Montgomery has shown a genuine concern for
students and their problems that sltould

A number of people who should know
have categorized Miss Carol Runyon as
an exceptional SG candidate. She seems
to have the leadership ability to accomplish rational objectives, and the levelheadedness to provide a badly needed
balance for the assembly.
Due to a conflict of interest inherent
in the fact that a vice presidential candidate is my fraternity brother, I will limit
my comments to the presidential race.
One of the four candidates, Jim Williams has refused to take the campaign

After appearing to embrace wholeheartedly the radical faction, Juul realized
the importance of the Greek vote and
cast himself as the savior of the system.
Of course, the independents and dorm

The sensationalism of Juul's campaign
is obvious, the unfounded charges legion,

A president is needed who will serve

On The Conspiracy
To the Editor of the Kernel:
I concede the right of the Lexington
Herald-Leade- r
to advertise in the Kernel, but the alleged "Communist Rules
for Revolution" published in the issue
of March 23 is too fatuous to pass without
comment. Having studied Communist literature for some 25 years, I am not unacquainted with the peculiar idiom employed by the party faithful. It is obvious
that the statement was written by a
political illiterate whose notion of a "Red
plot" is primitive indeed. Most members

of the John Birch Society would qualify
nicely. If the document was actually
"Captured inDusseldorfGennany? May,
1919, by Anned Forces"
which I doubt
it was probably composed by one of
those
fanatics who later joined
Hitler's Nazi movement. I think the
s
"save the youth from
corruption" philosophy can better be
served without insulting the intelligence
of the university community with a fabrication of this type.
