Students To Meet Over Thanksgiving Weekend

Conference On 'Institutional Racism' Planned

WASHINGTON
(CPS) -More than 200 students from
colleges and universities around
the country will give up their
Thanksgiving weekends to meet
and study what they call "institutional racism" the inherently
racist nature of white institutions, including universities.
The place the University of
Notre Dame in Indiana, where
the National Student Association is sponsoring a conference
it hopes will shed some light on
institutional racism and launch
more widespread study of the
problem.
At the NSA Congress in August, student delegates labeled
institutional racism the most important problem they thought
their schools should be dealing
with; and they said they wanted
programs to concentrate on that
issue.
The Thanksgiving conference
is designed mainly as a beginninga study to determine the
scope and complexity of the

problem. It is to be built around
research projects done by the
students beforehand, in which
they will examine their own
campuses for indications of the
source of the problem.
Each school represented at
the conference will submit a full
written report detailing areas in
which the school is most blatantly discriminatory or, more
important, in which it has not
actively sought to make amends
for its inherent biases. The students will work from a research
guide giving them areas to explore and questions to ask about
their school.
Five major areas of university life and organization are
suggested for examination:
Curriculum: are courses in
black history and culture, ghetto
psychology and African language offered; are there courses
dealing with white racism and
do law school
prejudices;
courses include some on the
legal problems of discrimination,

exploitation and the welfare
systems; do schools of education
attempt to deal with issues like
decentralization and community
control of schools?
University policies off campus: does the university profit
from exploitative landholding
policies; are hiring practices and
wages discriminatory; does the
school support the "racist" draft
system, does it offer draft counseling on campus?
Discrimination: In hiring of
professors and their promotion,
in admissions and recruitment,
in scholarships, in athletics, in
fraternities and sororities, in
housing policies, medical facilities, work-stud- y
hiring, placement, in dealing with
personnel?
ic

University power structure:
this entails investigating the
business interests of trustees and
administrators and whether they
n
engage in racist or
the ac- practices; investigating
anti-unio-

tivities of banks at which university money is kept; examining the attitudes of churches
with which schools are affiliated; seeing whether black representation in the university
power structure is token or influential.
The cultural bias of campus
life: is the cultural bias of the
campus so white that black students must necessarily feel alienated? Can black students feel
comfortable in their own life
style, or must they conform to
the white life style?

The last question is one that
cannot be documented with statistics, but the one NSA considers most important in a discussion of the unconscious ways
whites show their racism in their
institutions. The cultural bias
of the campus and other such
agencies, they say, "is the atmospheric,
gas of the
white problem."
And the problem, in NSA's
life-givi-

view, is a white one, a problem
to l)C studied and solved by
whites. In its mailing to conference delegates is a special
note to (and alout) black students, saying that while black
insights will le helpful, the conference considers the racism
question one that will have to
be confined to whites "because
it is a white problem."
"Working against racism,"
NSA says, "has to do not only
with making it possible for the
black man to control his community and his life; it also
means asking ourselves what it
means to be a white person in a
white supremacist society."
That conclusion marks the
drift of next week's conference.
It has taken two years for activist students to digest and accept Stokely Carmichael's interpretation of America's race
problem and what white sympathizers can do about it, but
accept it they have.

Housing Lists Challenged
By RATI I Y ARNOLD

Kernel Staff Writer
"A significant number of persons listing housing with the
Housing Office are unwilling to
rent to Negroes, according to
Committee Group Two of English 203-- 3 at UK.
The committee reached this
conclusion after surveying landlords listed with the Housing
Office, to determine if they
were complying with the agreement to rent to anyone regardless of his race in return for free
listing.
For Negro Friend

The landlords were asked
about the availability of property, the cost, the facilities, the
condition and the distance from
campus. If the property was for
rent, the landlord was told that
the property was being sought

for a Negro friend.
The committee members interviewed eight landlords who
had property available. Of the
eight, one said he would rent
to a Negro while the other seven

said they were unwilling to rent
to Negroes.
Committee Group Two reported certain limitations in
their survey. One was that by
the time the survey was conducted, most of the housing listed
in the Housing Office had already been rented.
Problems Encountered
Of the 29 names obtained
from the Housing Office, 21 had
either rented their property or
could not be contacted.
The one person who said he
would rent to a Negro had an
apartment available. The landlord didn't live in the building
in which the available apartment was located.
The other seven landlords
contacted, who wouldn't rent to
Negroes, had rooms in their own
houses for rent. These houses
were in
neighborhoods
in better sections of town.
A second limiting factor, according to the committee, is
that the listings received from
the Housing Office were not
te

The committee said the housbecause
ing list was
"the Housing personnel do not
perform to their full capacity."
Recommendations Made
The ten members of Committee Group Two made the following recommendations:
The Housing Office should
conduct or have conducted a
survey of a selected sample of
the listings at the beginning of
each semester to help determine
whether those contacted are
willing to rent to a person regardless of his race.
Anyone who is obtaining
free listing under false pretenses
should be dropped from the list
and blacklisted until he agrees
to abide by the regulations.
The Housing Office should
inform each landlord that each
listing, after a limited period,
such as one month, would be
dropped. This would help keep
the lists
If personnel in the Housing
Office do not perform to their
full capacity they should be

glared

at Ding

Dong.

"Are you going to Santa
Land like that?"
"Like what?" asked Ding Dong,
surprised.
"Unwashed and your shirt tail
hanging out and your hair in your
eyes. You're a sight. Santa Claus
won't like it at all."
"I don't care," retorted Ding
Dong. He was glad, after all, that
the hippies were going to capture
Santa because it was a shame, it
really was, that all the kids in the
world had to be good just to please
a square like that.
Edgar sniffed with disapproval.
He led Ding Dong outside and
gave him a blindfold to tie around
his eyes. "Take four steps forward," ordered the elf. Ding Dong
obeyed.

Suddenly the ground beneatlj his
feet heaved up and down like
ocean waves. A great wind swept
him round and round. Snowflakes
peppered his face.
In a moment it was over. The
ground steadied. The wind died
away. Ding Dong pulled the blindfold from his eyes and there he was
in Santa Land standing before
Santa's own house.
Ding Dong ran up the steps and
rang the bell. Mrs. Claus came to
the door.
"My goodness gracious!" she
exclaimed. She stared at Ding
Dong as if she couldn't believe her
eyes. "What are you? I mean
oh dear! I

"I've come to see Santa Claus,"
announced Ding Dong.

stiffly.

"A hippie! My goodness! A
Oh, do come in!" Mrs.
Claus led Ding Dong into the
house and down the hall to the
living room where Santa himself
sat at his desk before the fire.
"Santa! Here's a hippie come to
call!"
Santa got up from the stack of
letters he had been reading. He
smiled and held out his arms.
"You must be Henry Wethers-pooWelcome to Santa Land!"
Ding Dong sideslipped through
Santa's arms. He was sure the next
thing Santa would say was "Have
you been good?" and that's one
thing he didn't want to hear.
But Santa didn't say that at all.
And he didn't say anything about
hair or his
Ding Dong's messed-u- p
dirty face or the way his socks
drooped over his untied shoes.
Nor did he seem to mind when
Ding Dong demanded rather rudely to know how Santa knew his
name.
"I've heard a lot about you,"
replied Santa. "And, of course, I
was expecting you. I hope you will
like it in Santa Land. While I
finish up these letters go anywhere
you like. There are many things
here you might enjoy."
"He'll go nowhere until he's had
something to eat," snapped Mrs.
Claus and she hustled Ding Dong
off to the kitchen.
Poor Ding Dong! His stomach
quivered and his face turned green
when Mrs.CIaus laid out pizzas and
soda pop and fried potatoes and
chocolate pies and all the things
she thought a hippie would like to
eat.
How could Ding Dong confess
that after two weeks in Hippieville
what he most wanted now was a
plate of spinach and a soft boiled

The more he tried the greener he
got.
"Oh, my!" clucked Mrs. Claus.
"You don't look well at all!"
She dumped a teaspoonful of
green medicine into a glass of water. "Drink that quick!" she ordered. Before Ding Dong knew
what he was about he'd swallowed
the dose.
Immediately he felt better.
"Hippies need to be taken care

may not think so themselves,"

grumbled Mrs. Claus.

Ding Dong.

"Try one and see," said an elf.
He boosted Ding Dong onto a
reindeer's back .The deer sprang
off the ground and soared into the
sky.
Ding Dong felt as though he
were riding the wind. He had never
felt so free and happy. When the
ride was over he took the reindeer
back to the barn. He rubbed him
down with towels and covered him
with blankets so he wouldn't catch
cold and not be able to ride on
Christmas Eve.
Then he remembered that no
reindeer would fly on Christmas
because Santa would be a prisoner
in Hippieville and he himself
would be the one to capture Santa.
He felt badly about the whole
thing. But what could he do now?
The hippies were counting on him.
He wandered over to the toy
shops where the elves were
feverishly working on the toys children had asked for Christmas.
"Can't stop a minute," apologized an elf. "If we do, some
child's order won't be filled."
Ding Dong felt worse than ever.
Was it wrong to take Christmas
away from everyone just because
the hippies wanted to do as they
pleased?

"Oh, no!" he thought. "Not a

Hippieville say to that? He leaped
to his feet and charged out the
kitchen door before Mrs. Claus
could turn from the sink.
He ran down to the fields where
Santa's reindeer were being fed by
a crew of elves. The deer were
friendly and full of life.

"We thought you could come

not daring to look Santa in the eye.

the time because there's so much
work to be done. But a boy in
trouble comes first. We'll go at
once."

Hesekiah sneaked up on Santa's
porch and knocked. Mrs. Claus
came to the door.
"Goodness!" she cried. "Are
you another hippie?"
For answer Hesekiah stuck the
stem of the pipe in his mouth and
blew. The salt in the bowl showered over poor Mrs. Claus.
She threw up her hands in surprise and began to spin in a circle.
As she spun faster and faster she
grew smaller and smaller until she
was a very small top, fat in the
middle and pointed on the end,
spinning away in a pool of salt on
the floor.
Hesekiah rushed to the doll
shops where the elves were making
dolls that could talk and walk and
some that could even file their
nails. Hesekiah flung open the
door and blew on his pipe with all
his might. The salt sprayed over
the astonished elves. In two seconds they were tiny tops spinning
madly around the unfinished dolls.
Hesekiah went to the wagon
shop and the sport shop and the
electric train shop and the
shop and even to the reindeer stables. Everywhere he went
he turned the creatures into spinning tops. Finally there was no one
left in Santa Land except the wicked Hesekiah.
He put away his pipe and discarded his gloves and hood and
boots, being careful that no salt
should get on his skin. Then he

lie had been working on his
invention for 400 years but he
hadn't gotten any further than the
discovery of a powerful salt that
could turn people into spinning
tops. This was just what Hesekiah
wanted while he continued to work
on his machine to take the place of
people.
Before

he turned people into
spinning tops Hesekiah thought it
would be a good idea to try out his
salt on some creatures who were
like people but still not exactly
people. That is to say -- elves and
fairies and such folk.

Hesekiah thought, "What better

place to go than Santa Land?"
There would be a lot of creatures
he could turn into tops. More important, there were
workshops where he could continue to work on his machine to take
the place of people.

Open Housing? Ha
Findings of a study group composed of students in the new A&S
300 course clearly indicate that
open housing is not a reality in
Lexington, regardless of what laws
may say to the contrary.
Students in A&S 300

white, and racially mixed couples,
posing as married students, tried
to rent housing from a local realtor.
The results were something less
than satisfactory for the black and
racially mixed couples, which
should come as no great surprise
to anyone.

It has never been any secret
that Blacks have trouble finding

lower quality, higher priced
housing that white students.
What seems evident, however,
is that it is past the time that
people should stop taking this fact
for granted. Rather, it seems time
for both the University administration and Student Government to
take positive action to end discriminatory practices in housing

Acting in
Government and the office of the
Dean of Students could, by means
of a survey such as the A&S 300
students used, determine which real

be warned, and perhaps a boycott

Santa And The Hippies
In our never ending effort to
please the populance, the Kernel
Christis now presenting the
mas series on Santa and the Hip
pies.
The stories, action packed and
full of all the excitement one has
come to expect from a work of
art of this type, were furnished to
us by The Associated Press and
will be passed on to you as the
remaining issues of this semester's
Kernel come from the presses.

of the day, the stories should have
wide readership. But we would not
be completely honest if we told
you the stories were run only for
the readers. We happen to think
they are super groovy too.
Even the impatient must restrain themselves, however, for we
refuse to even hint at the ending of
Santa's troubles before the final
installment appears. That will be
in the Dec. 13, issue, the last
Kernel published before the Jolly
Old Man comes our way.

Kernel Forum: the readers write

To the Editor of the Kernel:
I am a native of Lexington and being
such I am continuingly being confronted
with questions about Professor Jordan
from adults who live in Lexington. One
little old lady was shocked when she
heard the Marxian theory was being taught
at U.K. When I tried to explain to her
that Karl Marx was a sociologist, a
humanist and a liistorian she replied,
"Well, he was a Communist too wasn't
he?" Then I asked her if she knew what
a Communist was and she said site had
seen one and described him to me like
she had spotted a UFO or something.
