UK Explains Maine Chance Uses
The Associated Press
The University made a detailed explanation Thursday to
a U.S. District Court jury why
it needed Maine Chance Farm
for agricultural research.
The testimony was in defense
of a $30 million
suit
filed by two horsemen after the
university's research foundation
bought the farm in 1967 for $2
million.
The horsemen Dr. Arnold
Pes sin and Rex Ellsworth claim
there was a conspiracy between
the foundation, the Keeneland
Association and the Bank of New
York to keep them from buying
the property.
Charies E. Barnhart, associate dean of the University's College of Agriculture, recounted on
basis the use to

He also told of similar use of

st

Barnhart said the need for
more land began years ago when
the original
experimental farm adjoining the main campus began to be eaten away by
campus expansion.
"We in agriculture had been
advised that we should not take
any long range plans for the 300
acres that were left," he said.
"In fact, we were using it on a

basis."
In the meantime,

he said,
some experimental work was

and labor costs are saved by
having all three farms together.
Pessin and Ellsworth claim
the conspiracy against them came
about when it was revealed they
planned to use the farm for a
thoroughbred auction business in
competition with Keeneland.
The University, as the first of
the three defendants to present
its case, is trying to show its
only purpose in buying the acreage was its need for more research room.
Don Bradshaw, formerly a deputy commissioner in the state
Department of Finance, testified
he set up a meeting a week in
advance for July 11, 1967, to bring
University officials and real
estate broker George Swinebroad
together to talk about Maine
Chance.
The plaintiffs had indicated
in their case that the University
showed no Interest in the farm
until after they made a July 10
visit to the fann and announced
they' warned to buy it.

'Let's
Boycott

Thorn Pat Juul, along with other members
of Students for Action and Responsibility
(SAR), sponsored a bill passed by the SG
Assembly Thursday night calling for a student boycott of housing contracts. If carried
out, students would hold all contracts until
the deadline date, causing the Housing Office
to be flooded with unprocessed contracts at
one time.

CARSA To Picket A&P's
By DAN COS SETT

Kernel Staff Writer
CARSA decided Thursday night to expand its plan to picket the
A&P grocery on West Main Street to include all A&Ps in the

Lexington area.
The picketing, which is scheduled for Saturday afternoon, is
expected by CARSA members to
have two results. First, it is
intended to put pressure on store
officials not to sell California
table grapes. Second, pamphlets
to be distributed are meant to
persuade store patrons not to
buy the grapes.
A&P officials in other cities
have cooperated with the nationwide grape boycott by taking
grapes off the shelf. In such
cases, the procedure has been
for all of the A&Ps in a city to
stop the sale of grapes if any
store has received complaints
about their sale.
CARSA also formed two committees to bring the issue to public attention "more forcefully
than in the past."
One of the committees will be
responsible for writing letters to
the Kernel and the Lexington
newspapers inviting religious and
civic groups in the city to join
the boycott. Plans also call for
participating in the discussions
on radio station WLAP'$ "Sound
Off' program.
The second new committee
will devote its efforts toinvolving
the UK administration in the
grape boycott. Past efforts to
persuade the University to stop
selling grapes have failed. Larry
Jeffrey, director of food services,
told CARSA members that the
only criterion for the sale of
grapes was customer (student)
consumption.
Despite reports from Food Service employees that grape sales

are declining, other Food Service
officials have denied that a decrease has occurred.
Mrs. Margaret Mclntyre director of the Student Center cafeteria, said, "If there have been
any grapes left over, I don't
know about it."

Beatles, Cream, Joplin Sweep First Pop Music Poll
By LARRY C. KELLEY

Kernel Arts Editor
The Beatles, Cream and Janis Joplin dominated the voting in
the Kernel's First Annual Pop Music Poll, capturing eight of the
twelve music categories. UK students submitting ballots in the poll
chose the Beatles as the best group and best songwriters. "Hey
Jude" won as both the best single record of the year and the best
song.

The late Cream (see Kernel
walked away with the Best
Musician category and "Wheels of Fire" edged "The Beatles" by
one vote for the Best Album category.
Janis Joplin, formerly with Big Brother and the Holding Company,
won both Best Female Vocalist and Best New Female Vocalist.
Joplin, now with her own group The Janis Joplin Revue ran a
close second to Raquel Welch as Female Sex Symbol.
Perhaps the most surprising result of the poll is the margin by
which "hard rock" was favored by respondents over "soul music."
When the various types of hard rock are lumped together, the final
score is roughly 163 to 16 for soul. This of course is not reflective
of the views of the UK student body, but rather the views of
approximately 200 students who submitted ballots.
The results which follow show the top artists in each category. The number of winners listed varies, but generally approximates the top 15. Due to lack of space today, the results of the
film poll will be run in Tuesday's Kernel.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
Everyone has an opinion on the draft,
and I am no exception. The Kernel is
also no exception. It recently ran an
editorial endorsing a volunteer army.
Sometime during the next four y ears,
Richard Nixon is supposed to bring about
an
army.
He won't succeed.
He won't succeed unless the United
States is prepared to guarantee the armed
r
forces an
day, a four-daweek,
expense paid vacations, luxurious housing,
first rate salaries and so on.
There are simply not that many people
devoted enough to take up a military
career under present conditions, even in
peacetime. And the cost of attracting the
two million or so people needed in addition to the professionals would be prohibitive.
The cry for a volunteer army is attrac- eight-hou-

y

I

tive, which is probably why Nixon took
it up. But because something is attractive
hardly makes it feasible.
But suppose that it is possible. Have
you ever stopped to consider what kind
of an army you would have?
More likely than not, it would be a
black army.
Negroes would- - and do- - get the equality, the prestige and the authority they
desire fighting and dying for American
society rather than living in it. A volunteer army would catch the underprivileged segments of the United States,
principally the Negro.
Yet this is the proposal supported by
President Nixon and Sen Mark Hatfield.
Whether we like it or not, we have to
have somewhere between two and three
million men in uniform, and the army is
the unattractive, unpopular obligation of
a free society.
Should such an obligation be bom
primarily by the less fortunate members
of the society?
Of course not.
Which brings us to Sen. Edward Kennedy's proposal for a lottery. His plan
would give everyone at age 18 the exact
same chance of serving regardless of race
money, or I.Q. It would also remove the
anxiety that is the hallmark of our present system.
It makes more sense than a volunteer
army. It is infinitely more practical than
a volunteer army.
And most important, it is fair.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
Your paper informs me that Messrs.
Leonard Jordan and Cordan Zahn have
taken to lecturing on the merits of Christian love. But is not Jordon a Marxist?
And does not that doctrine advocate the
end over the mean? So much for Ms
Christianity.
And Mr. Zahn tells us that "capitalism is inherently unchristian." That
is pretty smart. I did not even know
capitalism was a religion.

UK Administration Slowed
By Maine Chance Suit
By JIM MILLER

Associate Editor
The $30 million antitrust suit
Involving the purchase of Maine
Chance Farm by the UK Research
Foundation has caused a stir in
University administration offices.
The normal business routines
of several high administrative officials have slowed to a walk
since the trial began two weeks
ago.

Legal counsel to the University urged several administrators,
including Acting President A.D.
Kirwan, to be present at the trial.
Their presence in U.S. District
Court has taken them away from
their offices and has forced a
backlog of callers and business.
It has been .especially rough
on secretaries in the administration offices. Anne L. Wilson, secretary to Dr. Kirwan, says it is
nearly impossible to meet with
Dr. Kirwan during the day, but
that "important" business still
is taken care of.
"He's down there (at the trial)
usually all morning and from
about two in the afternoon until
recess," Mrs. Wilson said.
"If there is no great urgency,"
Mrs. Wilson said, "we put the
names (of callers) on a list and
Dr. Kirwan can call them whenever he comes in. He will take
care of urgent business as soon
as possible."
Few Appointments
Mrs. Wilson said she does
not set in appointment unless
"it is of the utmost urgency.
If it is critical, we can work it

Other calls are sometimes referred to Graduate School Dean
Lewis Cochran's office.
Kerlcy Affected
The vice president for university relations, Clenwood Creech,
has not been so much affected
by the suit, having been out of
his office only one day due to
the trial.
Robert F. Kerley, vice president for business affairs, has
spent considerable time at the
proceedings because of his department's involvement in the

case. Kerlcy testified for the plain-

tiffs Wednesday.
His absence in the critical
field of University business affairs could be felt, but Kerlcy' s
staff is
on the particulars.
Despite the fact that trial
proceedings may stretch on for
several weeks, the plaintiffs case
has been presented a fact which
may allow key administrators
time in their offices. If so, it
should reduce the congestion that
has prevailed since the trial
