Student Gov't Defeats Bill
To Play 'Dixie' At Games
By LARRY DALE KEELING
Assistant Managing Editor
The Student Government As5
sembly by a tie vote of
defeated a bill requesting the
15-1-

playing of "Dixie" at future athletic events after a debate Thursday night that included shouting, singing and a parliamentary

With much less confusion, a
bill formally opposing the third
point of the Faculty Senate policy governing speakers from
was passed. The third
point of the policy is the controversial "academic relevancy"
clause.
About 80 people, including
some 40 black students, attended
the meeting in anticipation that
the "Dixie" bill would come to
a vote.
The confusion began during
discussion of amendments to the
bill.
Joe Isaac, a member of SAR

3l

'

(Students for Action and Responsibility) which led the opposition
to the bill, said, "There's a line
in there that would lead us to
believe that the people who line
the back of this room (the black
students) become homosexuals in

the summer."
Isaac was asked to quote the
line.

" 'Tis summer, th.e darkies are
gay," he replied.
It was then pointed out to
Isaac that the line came from
"My Old Kentucky Home."
The debate of the amendments
was primarily

concerned

with

whether the bill could truly say
that an "overwhelming majority
of the students, alumni and supporters" of UK wished the song
to be played.
Personal Poll
Raymond (Fireball) Vail, an
representative, said his
own personal poll showed that an
"overwhelming majority" were
in favor of the playing of "Dixie."
He was asked when his poll
would be published.
Two amendments were passed
to the bill striking the clauses
saying that the song was not
derogatory or offensive to any
race, religion or creed and that
an "overwhelming majority"

supported "Dixie."
Then the discussion of the bill
as amended began and so did the
confusion.

With 'Dixie9

Some 80 students showed up at Thursday night's Student Government meeting to debate the issue of 'Dixie.' James Embry (above)
spoke out against the playing of the song at games because of its
racist connotations. SG mem ben who voted against the bill favoring
the playing of 'Dixie' celebrated following its defeat. Most of the
members pictured are members of Students for Action and Respon-

sibility (SAR).

CARSA Calls 'Dixie9 Racist
"The debate on whether or
not to play Dixie has become
a tight between the Creeks and
the BSU." "The song symbolizes white racism."
These were two statements
made by CARSA members who
last night voted to support the
Black Student Union's stand
against playing the song.
A representative from the
group vas immediately sent to

the Student Covemment meeting, which was going on at the
same time, to voice CARSA's
stand on the matter then in debate.
There was some concern expressed over who would be the
next president of the University.
A committee was appointed to get
information on all six nominees.
A motion to distribute this information and hold a mock student
election was tabled.
The goup was informed that

it would not act as plaintiff
in the suits against the Kentucky
Activities Committee. However, if KUAC decides
to investigate CARSA it can become plaintiff, thereby protecting its members.

Two

faculty

members were

nominated for positions on

CAR-

SA's

steering committee Dr.
Cene Mason and Dr. Leonard
Jordan. The nominees are to be
contacted and an election held
next week.

Tricia, Julie, David Here
Richard Nixon will not be in Lexington next week, but his
two daughters and David Eisenhower are coming Tuesday.
According to Pat Maney, president of the UK Young Republicans,
Julie and Tricia Nixon and David Eisenhower, grandson of former
President Dwight D. Eisenhower, will be the guest speakers at
a rally at the Fayette County Courthouse at 12 noon Tuesday.
The rally will also include speeches by Jefferson County Judge
Marlow Cook and Sixth District Congressional candidate Russ
Mobley.
The front section of the courthouse yard will be reserved for
young people and college students since the three special guests
are planning to mingle with the group after the main speeches.
lite UK Young Republicans will provide buses leaving the
Student Center at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday to transport interested
UK students to the courthouse lawn.

A motion was quickly made
to bring the bill to a vote but
was defeated.
The rules were then suspended
to give James Embry, president
of the Black Student Union, a
chance to address the assembly.
"There are several black athletes on the football team," he
said. "They don't wish that the
song be played. You should consider their feelings."
He added that the lyrics of
the song may not be racist but
the context and the connotation
were. He said it gives some fans
a chance to express their racism
to black students in the stands
and on the field.
"A school song should be a
rallying point," he said, "and
'Dixie' is not our school song."
Embry told the assembly that
Student Covemment has a lot of
power in their hands but that
they concentrate on the trivial.
"You don't know who's for it
or against it," he added "All II
know is that the KA's are for it
and I know what it stands for."
Racial Confrontation
Joe Maguire, another member
of SAR, then read a statement
condemning the bill.
"The 'Dixie' issue is one
which pits two segments of the'
University in a confrontation of
a racial nature," the statement

he must have the permission of
the assembly as a whole. An objection was quickly raised to the
reading.
Thorn Pat Juul, also of SAR
told Bright that Maguire had just
read a statement to the assembly and that every week whole
bills were read.
"Sir, there is nothing in that
little brown book," he added,
as Bright quickly checked his
Robert's Rules of Order Revised.
'Dixie' Not Racist
Monty Hall then said the majority of the students at UK do
not think of "Dixie" as a racist
song.
"We do not do this to sayj
that I'm white and you're black,"
he said to the black students.
"We don't want to ride roughshod over a minority."
He then moved that a vote
be taken.
At this point Joe Maguire told
Bright that by the rules he still
had the floor from the time when
he read his statement. Bright
ruled that he didn't.
A motion was then made to
overrule the chair, but it failed.
The motion to vote on the bill
also failed and the discussion

continued.
Linda Bailey was then given
the floor and yielded to Maguire
who started to read again. Bright
ruled him out'of order.
Thorn Pat Juul said, "I think
you, Mr. Bright, have shown
.

your

choo-cho-

o

charley. I am sick

and tired of you butchering
Robert's Rules of Order to force
a bill on these students."
Another motion was made to
vote on the bill. The vote was
taken and Bright ruled that it
passed. Juul then asked for a roll

call.
Bright again ruled that the
roll call had passed. Juul moved
for a recount and the motion
was defeated. Juul then asked
for a secret ballot on the motion
for the recount.
At this point the assembly
was voting on whether or not
to have a secret ballot on the
motion to have a recount of the
roll call of the motion to vote on
the bill. The motion to call a
vote on the bill finally failed and
discussion continued.
Maguire then moved to amend
the bill to add to "Dixie" a list
of other songs to be played. The
list included "We Shall Overcome," "Yankee Doodle Dandy,"
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The Eyes of Texas
Are Upon You."
'Out Of Order
Bright ruled the motion "frivolous and out of order."
Juul then, "in a very serious

It is this reviewer's opinion that

it is a pity the book did not get

But they managed to get only

A review of "The Revised History of America, " edited by Hubert
Humphrey, Richard Nixon and
George Wallace.
A completely revised version of
American History is scheduled to
go on sale in most bookstores by
early next month. The new book
is unique in that it takes a dim
view of the American Revolution.
Rumors persist tocropup saying
that editors Humphrey, Nixon and
Wallace rewrote American history
because they feel the precedent set
by the war of independence has
been overemphasized and is leading
the youth of America astray.
"After all," Nixon has been
quoted as saying, "If the American Revolution is justifiable, you
might as well say 'The Revolution'
(the current movement among
young people) is also justifiable."
In order to make American history compatible with their campaign speeches, the three editors
reportedly united "for the common
good" to rewrite the story of

Alarming ABM
By passing the defense appro-

bill Wednesday, the
priations
Senate has committed this nation,
and in fact the rest of the world,
to another seemingly irrevocable
arms
step in the already-terrifyin-g
race. Included in the $71.8 billion
bill was the appropriation which
will permit the deployment of an
Missle
System
Anti-Ballist-

ic

(ABM).

The ABM deployment will cost

the United States billions of

dol-

lars, billions which could be better
used in the cities of this country.
But this is not the only cost, nor
even the greatest cost, which will
result from the ABM decision.
Behind closed doors, Kentucky
Sen. John Sherman Cooper presented the Senate with intelligence
information
which
reportedly

showed that the actual strengths of
Russian and Chinese missle capabilities did not, at this time, warrant the deployment of the Sentinel
ABM system. In a public speech,
cooper commented further that the
Chinese would have less than 10
missies by the middle Seventies.
If this is tnie, then the rest
of the world can hardly interpret
the new defense system as anything
but further American preparations
for military conflict. And with this
idea, other nations will have no
choice but to up their own military
production and technology. Where
all this is leading us is uncertain,
but clearly the United States must
share a large part of the blame for
the horrifying possibility that waits
at the end of the
path.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
The minority activist groups on the
campus have every right to protest, demand their civil rights, cry fbr free speech,
dress uniformly oddly, or do their thing.
These are their rights, privileges and
responsibilities.
Most of these organizations, liowever,
are peopled by hypocrites. The very rights
they are demanding they would deny to
others.

Man is a creature of patterned behavior

human values and behavior. It is the
ideas of men, therefore, that have become
the great forces around which human
energies have been focused in the last
two thousand yean. It is for this reason
that we should be exposed to the important ideas of men that have affected
social relations, and man's idea of himself and the natural world. Therefore, Mr.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
As a duly bona fide officer of "QUACK"
I want to present a shiny new penny
(enclosed), engraved with a caraciture
of our beloved majesty Abraham Lincoln
on one side and the heart warming mottoes "E. Pluribus Unum", "United States
of America", and "One Cent" on the
other, to distinguished Law Student John
Kirk for his erudite thoughts as expressed
in a letter to Monday's Kernel (SV3068).
We have every reason to believe this

young boy will make his mark some

day in local government and want to
give him this penny as a start.
Abo we wish to emphasize what this
boy has written by repeating it here in
shortened form. It is simply this: any
man who has a picture on his door and
says nice or even neutral things about
a man who advocates slavery (Carl Marx)
or who has killed 25,000 United States

servicemen (Ho Chi Minh) deserves

re-

prisals (we do not advocate violence,.
.

however, if some concerned citizens wish
to even get a little bit rough with the
villian.this is their freedom).
To get serious, I feel capitalism is
a much better system for Americans,
although I have learned enough to understand that communism has many merits
too. At any rate only a very niave mind
carries premisis such as Kirks's. I also
believe we should fight if necessary (including wan like Vietnam) to preserve
our way of life.
I do not, however, think you can win
wars or minds by adopting an attitude
of blind hatred toward your "enemy".
To side track for a moment, how long
do you think the Bisfrans would have
fought against the Nigerians if they hadn't
practiced such blind hatred toward the
Ibos? I suspect Leonard Jordan is making
a very sincere effort to understand what we
call the enemy, and that the pictures on
the door are designed only to provoke
honest thought, not treason.
Show John Kirk that you think he is
nothing more than an ignorant "tattle
tale" by sending him your next "bugger";
he will forward it to the Covemor.
