By ELAINE STUART

The University Senateoverwhelmingly approved Mon-
day a recommendation to disfranchise its non-elected
members.

Some administrators, who are not elected to the
senate and are not members of the faculty, currently
enjoy voting rights. Dr. Richard Butwell, chairman
of the committee which drew up the recommenda-
tion, said the senates action could lead to “signifi-
cant change."

If the recommendation is approved as policy, Dr.
Butwell explained, “any vote in the University Senate
will be determined wholly by faculty members. Ex—
oflicio members will still be allowed to serve on corn—
rnittees and speak on issues, but they will not be al-

In the same vote, the senate almost unanimously
approved three other recommendations which could
change the existing size, composition and election
procedures of the body. All the approved recommenda-
tions will be presented to a joint trustee-faculty com-
mittee which is revising the group's governing code.

Other Action

The other approved recommendations were:

) That the ratio of elected members relative to the
entire faculty be kept at the present level of one to five
until the elected membership of the senate reaches 200.
”This puts an absolute ceiling of 200" on the organiza-
tion, Dr. Butwell said.

k That present composition of the senate—with both

) That the senate implement a “two-tier process" of
selecting its members. Under the present system,alist of
all eligible faculty members is circulated and all on the
list are voted on. Under the suggested new method,
members first would be mentioned, then agree to serve
if elected; finally their names would appear on a ballot.

Considerable dissent had arisen in earlier debates
on the recommendations in November. Monday 5 meet-
ing, by contrast, went smoothly and only a scattering
of senators voted against approval.

Dr. Butwell, surprised at the quickness of the vote,
attributed the lack of opposition to earlier discussion
of the four recommendations. The vote climaxed several
months of effort by the committee, which was appointed .

Angelueei Sees Approval ....
Of UK-Louisville Merger

The Board of Trustees is ex-
pected to approve “in principle"
the recent recommendation that
UK and the University of Louis-
ville become equal and coordi-
nate parts of a single university
within the state-supported sys-
tem of public higher education.

The UK board's reaction to
the proposal was forecast Mon-
day by Dr. Ralph Angelucci, at
Lexington surgeon who is chair-
nun of the board's executive corn-
ruittee.

The ricoininendation that U
of I. be made co—equal with UK,
receiving full support from the
state, was made by a special
committee created under a di-
rective of the 1966 General As-
sembly. The panel was directed
to study the ”advisability and
feasibility" of placing U of L
in the state system of higher
education.

The committee report, re—
leased two weeks ago, calls for
UK and U of L to have a com—
mon board of tmstees and acom—
mon president. Each institution
would have a chancellor as its
immediate administrative head.

Would Come Jan. 12

Dr. Angelucci said the UK
board's approval of the recom—
mendation, ”in principle," prob-

ably will come at the board's
next meeting, on Jan. 12.
The complete text of Dr. An-

gelucci‘s statement:

 

”The Board of Trustees of the
University of Kentucky will not
meet again until jan. 12, and no
formal action on the committee
report is expected before that
date.

"However. I have discussed
the report informally with in-
dividual trustees. As a result of
these conversations, 1 am confi-
dent that the board, at its meet-
ing on Jan. 12, will approve in
principle the committee's recom—
menrllation.

personally commend the

committee members for their
painstaking study of this diflicult
problem. They have worked long
and diligently on a matter that
is of vital concern to the future
of higher education in Ken-
tncky."

Now a semi—private institu—
tion, U of L currently draws
some financial support fromJef-
ferson County and the City of
Louisville. Its medical and dental
schools receive limited state sup-

by President John W. Oswald last April.

Protesters Are Going U npuntshed

WASHINGTON — Most uni-
versities have taken no action
against students who partici-
pated in the mid-October rash
ofcampusdemonstrationsagainst
war-related recruiting and re-
search.

Only four have actually pun-
ished students so far. The stromz-
est action was taken by the Uni-
versities of Colorado and Illi-
nois, both of which have sus-
pended demonstrators. Harvard
and the University of Iowa have
placed students on probation.

Stanford, the University of
Wisconsin and the University of
Pennsylvania have disciplinary
action in process, although Wis-

cousin has been enjoined by a
federal court order from taking
any final action against demon-
strators.

Columbia, Princeton, Ober-
lin, Wayne State University and
Universities of Maryland and
Minnesota apparently will take
no action against demonstrators,
although the Maryland admin-
istration has threatened discipli—
nary action.

Some Leave Action to the Courts

Princeton and Wayne State
are leaving the disciplining of
demonstrators up to the courts,
while students at Iowa and Wis-
consin face action by both uni—
versity and civil authorities.

‘ On three campuses— Minneso—
ta, Oberlin, and Pennsylvania—
committees have been estab-
lished to study campus policy on
disruptive demonstrations. Co-
lumbia has taken the strongest
pro-demonstrator action, refusing

to allow any military recruiting
on the campus, until Selective
Service Director Lewis Hershey
rescinds his recommendation to
draft boards that deferments be
taken away from all demonstra-
tors who block military recruit-
ing.

Following is a rundown on ac-
tions taken at various campuses:

kThe decision of Colorado's
University Discipline Committee
to suspend ten students whotried
to block access to a Central In-
telligence Agency recruiter has
aroused heavy opposition. The
opposition, in turn, has caused
the resignation of the dean who
pressed for suspension ofall eight
ofthe graduate students involved
in the demonstration.

The action has brought pro—
tests from the student govem-
ment, a teach-in, and a faculty
petition against the committee.
James Archer, dean of the grad-
uate school, resigned because he

said the university administra-
tion was not supporting him
against all this criticism.

The students say they will ap-
peal to the school's council of
deans, the regents and to the
courts, if necessary.

Suspended for Blocking
Recruiters

D At Illinois, seven undergrad-
uates have been suspended and
47 others face similar action be-
cause they blocked access to a
Dow Chemical Company re-
cruiter. One student, however,
had his dismissal from the uni—
versity suspended.

One professor has resigned,
and 500 people demonstrated
Nov. 27 in support of the seven
who were suspended. The seven

ished" another 171. Harvard
Dean Frederick L. Climp said
the reason for the probation was
the students' “contribution to
the forceable obstruction of an
individual" when they captured
a Dow recruiter.

Probation prohibits participa-
tion in campus activities and re-
quires the students to attend
all but a few classes. Admon-
ishment involves only a nota-
tion on the student's record.

} Iowa Dean of Students M. L.
Hewitt placed 80 students on pro-

had been fined by civil courts
for a demonstration against a
Dow recruiter. Probation at Iowa
means suspension if the student
commits any further violation.

higher university authorities.

)Wisconsin, the site of the
first and largest of the October
demonstrations, has the most
complicated legal situation. Thir-
teen students have been singled
out by the university as leaders
of the October 17 demonstration
against Dow. Adisciplinary com-
mittee has been holding hearings
on this group but can take no
action as long as the court order
barring university action is in
force.

The first hearing, held this
week, was broken up after a
group of students disrupted the
proceedings with shouting and
noise. The next hearing will prob-
ably be closed.

Ten of the 13 also face action
in the courts and one, teaching
assistant Robert Cohen, will face
a hearing before the university
regents on whether or not he
should be fired from his assist-
antship. The Cohen question may

cause a later flare-up at Wis-
consin. It has already caused a
split between Wisconsin Presi-
dent Fred Harrington and Mad—
ison Campus Chancellor Williams
Sewell. Harrington wants Cohen
fired while Sewell says the ques-
tion should be left up to the
university faculty.

tAt Pennsylvania the admin-
istration originally set up what
it calls “the Free Speech Com»
mittee" to hear the cases of 15
students involved in two pro-
tests against Dow and the CIA.
But students were not consulted
on the establishment of the com-
mittee and the faculty holds a
7-4 membership advantage.

At Stanford the student ju-
dicial board refused to take any
action against 10 students in-
volved in a demonstration against
the CIA, so the Dean ofStudents
joel Smith has referred the case
to an all-faculty appeal board.

Oddity: Today Kentucky

Inaugurates A Republican

By SY RAMSEY

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP)-—The
Kentucky governorship swings
back to the Republicans Tues-
day as Louie B. Nunn, a 43-
year-old Clascow lawyer, takes
the oath of office amid inaug-
uration pageantry.

Despite the fact that Wendell
H. Ford, an ()wensboro Demo-
crat, will become lieutenant gov-
ernor, COP visitors and banners
are expected to dominate the all-
day festivities.

An estimated 20,000 to 30,000
visitors are due to converge on
this capital of 23,000, situated in
a picturesque valley along the
Kentucky River.

A highlight will be the mas—
sive parade of 250 bands and
floats —- plus four elephants —-
starting in downtown Frankfort
and marching one half mile to
the front of the Capitol steps.

Oath In Afternoon

The swearing—in ceremony will
be held in mid-afternoon on a
large wooden platform.

Afterwards, several receptions
and four inaugural balls through-
out the city will follow, ending
in the early hours of Wednesday.

, LITTLE MAN

Actually, both Mr. Nunn and
Mr. Ford will have been sworn
in at private homes here a few
minutes after midnight.

This is traditional to assure
the line of succession should
something unexpected happen.

Not since 1943 have the Re—
publicans managed to elect a
governor and only six times pre-
viously.

Defeated Ward

Mr. Nunn defeated Democrat
Henry Ward, the administration's
choice, by 28,000 votes last
month.

He lost by only 13,000 four
years ago to outgoing Cov. Ed-
ward T. Breathitt in his first at-
tempt.

Mr. Nunn's victory gave the
nation 26 Republicans and 24
Democratic governors, breaking
the 25-25 deadlock.

One of Gov. Breathitt's un-
welcome legacies for Mr. Nunn
is a $24.1 million budget cut the
govemor ordered recently to keep
the state from sliding into a de-
ficit by July I.

But in a news conference on
the eve of his departure, Cov.
Breathitt said Monday st ate agen-
cies “will not be so badly off

as some persons might have gi-
ven you reason to fear."

And, he said, Mr. Nunn will
have $100 million in unused bond
issue money voted by the peo-
ple in 1965.

The inauguration begins about
9 a.m. Tuesday when Mr. Nunn
and Mr. Ford attend services at
the Christian and Baptist chur-
ches respectively.

Then they review the parade,
which could last almost four
hours, before stepping up to the
platform for the 45-minute in-
augural ceremony.

The Nunns have mailed more
than 30,000 personal invitations
to the inaugural. Mr. Nunn also
has reserved platform seats for
the entire legislature.

In Confusion

Currently, the Republicans
are in the throes of reorganiza-
tion and confusion.

Aside from trying quickly to
fill scores of top state positions,
they must prepare for the 1968
session of the General Assembly
which begins Jan. 2.

Moreover, the House and Sen-
ate remain dominated by Dem-
ocrats and Mr. Nunn must forge
a coalition to avert deadlocks and
frustration.

He hopes to do so through the
aid of anti-administration Dem-
ocrats who helped elect him and
thereby ended the eight-year
reign of the faction led by Gov.
Breathitt and former Gov. Bert
T. Combs.

Inauguration weather pros—
pects don't offer much cheer for
the COP—Cloudy, drizzle, a high
in the mid 40's. It usually is
cold but clear on inauguration
day.

The Lexington Tutorial Program sponsored by the University

more effective next semester.

”There is a real, crying need
for more dedicated tutors in all
areas of the program," said Car-

of the tutorial staff. ”We need

was donated last year by the gov-

from a philanthropy,” Miss At-
kinson says.

Money is badly needed ”to

In Memoriam

We will miss Bernie A. Shively.

Who bore the slings and arrows an idealistic newspaper
hurled at his athletic lifework, interspersed, inevitably with
too few kudos, like the big man that he was.

Who, when he read something on the chance occasion
that pleased him, would always comment “that was a very
nice thing I read in The Kernel."

Who, when he read something on the more frequent
occasion that displeased him, never said a critical, sneering,
jeering word, as lesser men did.

Who treated those critical of the role of athletics in a
University community equally with the friends of athletics:
equitably, cordially, and with candor.

We will miss Bernie A. Shively.

Letters to the Editor: the readers write

To The Editor Of The Kernel: ~

The Kernel is to be heartily com-
mended for the outstanding editorial of
Dec. 1, “Urinate—In suggested?" It is
encouraging that at least one bastion of
high—level journalism exists in the city
of Lexington.

Certainly it seems necessary that The
Kernel annually remind Head Basketball
Coach Adolph Rupp that he really isn't
Cod after all, and therefore has no au—
thority whatsoever to dictate to people
their rights.

Rupp hardly has the authority to sug-
gest the infliction of polluted precipita-
tion on the Constitution of the United
States, either, and all citizens of this
country should be outraged by such a
petty statement by someone holding the
insignificant position of a basketball
coach.

Whether planned or accidental, it is
symbolically significant that Rupp's barn

The Kernel has selected the road to

a pathway upon which Adolph Rupp

To the Members of the University

On behalf of the Student Body, we
desire to recognize the outstanding ach-
ievements accomplished for our Univer-
sity and the sports world by Bernie A.
Shively.

His untiring devotion for the better-
ment of athletics has brought the Uni-
versity to a renowned position among
its contemporaries in his chosen field of
endeavor.

His untimely death has lost for us a
respected friend and for the sports world

a respected leader.

'To fleflitm (X The Kernel:

Why the referendum? Here's why!

(1)‘ The ticket system for basketball
games is unfair to the students.

(2) Prior to the referendum, the stu-
dent body had no effective way to voice
their opinion on the matter.

(3) It is the duty of Student Govern-

ment to determine and express student
opinion.

(4) Referendum, like the stadium ref-
erendum of last year, have been shown
to be effective.

(5) The fact that the Ticket Com-
mittee has recommended to the Athletic
Board that the system be changed proves
the eflectiveness of the referendum.

That's why the referendum!

Black Power wins Pyrrhie victory

Collegiate Press Service

WILBERFORCE, Ohio—The future
course of Central State University re-
mained unclear this week as students
attended classes for the first time since
the school was closed two weeks ago in
the wake of black power demonstrations.

The resumption of classes coincided
with the surprise resignation of Central
State President Harry E. Groves. Dr.
Groves announced he would step down
as the top administrator of the pre-
dominately Negro institution in six
months.

Black power advocates responsible for
the riots which closed the school con-
sidered Croves' resignation a victory for
their cause. Several state oflicials and
many students, however, urged Groves
to reconsider his resignation and to con-
tinue leading the school through this
“period of crisis.”

No incidents were reported as the
school’s 2,600 students returned to the
campus which only two weeks ago had
been heavily guarded by Ohio National
Guard troops, sheriff's officers and high-

way patrolmen. However, the size of the
campus police force had been more than
doubled.

Dr. Groves and other college admin-
istrators issued strong statements against
the black power advocates, estimated at
about 50 of the students, and urged the
remaining members of the student body
to strive to save the school from future
disturbances.

Student Backing

A special convocation was called dur-
ing the first day of classes, and Dr.
Groves, during his address, asked all
students who want to destroy the uni-
versity to get up and leave. None of
the students left. Dr. Groves then asked
all students who want to salvage Central
State to stand and sing the school's
anthem. All of the students atending
the convocation joined in the song.

Black power advocates were pleased
with Dr. Croves' resignation because
they think he is trying to attract more
white students to the school. They want
an all-Negro school and consider him an
"Uncle Tom."

Several students and faculty members
think Dr. Groves has no intention of
resigning and that his announced resig-
nation was merely a publicity gimmick
to win sympathy and support from the
moderates at the school and throughout
the state. If this was his purpose, he had
been successful.

John M. McElroy, an executive as-
sistant to Gov. James Rhodes, called on
Mr. Groves to reconsider his action. He
was joined by John Bustamante, chair-
man of the Board of Trustees, who high-
ly commended Groves at the student
convocation this week. In addition, a
student petition was being circulated
urging Dr. Groves to stay.

Whether Dr. Groves resigns or not,
he must face three important problems
in the near future. The way these prob-
lems are handled may well determine
whether or not future militant demon-
strations will be held on campus.

First, he must decide if the black
power advocates will be recognized as
an official student organization. Last

week he said he would never recognize
them, but he later reneged on his state-
ment, leaving the question open.
Secondly, the school administrators
must decide what disciplinary action will
be taken against the 94 students ar-
rested during the campus demonstra-
tions. According to precedent, students

found guilty in the courts could be
expelled.

Third, Dr. Groves must decide if
Michael Warren, a leader of the militant
Negroes, will be readmitted. Warren was
suspended before the demonstrations, but
attempted to attend classes anyway. The
initial protest started when students
blocked a classroom building to keep
police officers from arresting Warren for
trespassing.

National Association for the Advance-
ment of Colored People, has
