.

By LEE BECKER

What originally seemed as if it was going to be a
decisive year for the Student Government of the
University of Kentucky now seems to be just another
year.

The only bills of major proportions passed by Stu-
dent Government have been a reapportionment bill
drasticallychangingthesu'uctmeoftheassemblyanda
bill establishing the office of ombudsman.

News Analysis

Both bills passed the assembly only after major
discussion, and neither has yet proved its value.

The ombudsman proposal was a major plank in
President Steve Cook's campaign platform last spring.
In the first meeting of the assembly he announced the

 

 

appointment of Ellis Bullock and Robert Valentine to
the position.

The assembly balked, however, and would not give
him approval. Cook maintained that he did not need
the approval, and put the future of the position in
jeopardy-

On Oct. 27 a bill finally passed the assembly formally
after a referendum showed student support for estab-
lishing the position.

Cook now admits, however, that the position has
not yet proved its worth. Although Bullock and Valen-
tine heard “a number of cases" prior to the bills passage,
none has been heard since. .

The representation bill is a combination of five bills
offered to the assembly since last Ianuary. The dif-
ferences were hashed out in a special committee headed
by Vice President Rafael Valebona.

The bill departs from the structure of the present
assembly and allows for only 16 seats to be filled by
representatives elected at large. There are 23 at—large
representatives sitting in the assembly at present.

The new bill allows for eight representafives to be
elected in off-campus elections, one each from both
IF C and Panhellenic, and three each from the North

Central Dormitory area and the South Central Dormi—
tory area.

Although the bill called for elections to be held two

weeks after the bill was passed Nov. 2, elections have

not been held.

Debate arose over a constitutional requirement that
no person could sit in the assembly before he h'

Projector Is Ejected As
Protest Gathers Steam

By DARRELL RICE

Navy recruiters in the Stu-
dent Center were asked Tm
day morning to move their port-
able film projector from the
first floor lounge area.

The decision was made on the
same grounds that permission
was denied to the Peace Action
Group for having a read-in in
the same area.

Bill Allison, chairman of the
peace group, complained to
Frank Harris, Student Centa
director, and to Mrs. Nancy
Ray, administrative assistant on
campus, about the projector.

Mr. Harris and Mrs. Ray
made the decision to move the
projector but told the recruiters
they could put it on the Student
Center patio where it would not
violate Student Center rules.

‘Hawking Wares'

"They’re hawking their
wares,” Allison told Mr. Harris
and Mrs. Ray in objecting to
the projector. He used the same
phrase Associate Dean of Stu-
dents Jack Hall used in telling
the peace group Monday mom-
ing it could not conduct a read-
in there.

Mr. Harris eventually agreed
with Allison about the projector,
saying “it constituted a mechan-
ical soapbox," which would be

Navy recruiters carried out their business Tues-

prohibited in the lounge area by
Student Center rules.

The Navy recruiters told Mr.
Harris they agreed with the de-

When the projector was
initially turned on, the sound
was turned up to a high volume,
and a group of about 20 stu-
dents gathered around to watch.

The projector has been used
intheloungeareaofthe Stu-
dent Center in the past. Mr.
Harris said it had not been
overruled before because “no
one had objected to its con-
stituting a soapbox or forum,
and it just never occurred to
me either that it did.”

Six Military Men

Four Navy recruiters and two
Marine recruiters were present
today in the Student Center.

One of the Navy recruiters
was asked why they had not
appeared Monday when they
were scheduled by the Student
Center.

‘We hadn’t intended to be
here Monday," he answered.
Some of the group, the Aviation
and General Services recruiters,
had to drive here from Mem-
phis, and the others did not
plan to come until this group
arrived, he said.

The peace group's activities

  

in the lounge area Tuesday con-
sisted of manning its table under
a poster proclaiming “Sign up
for Peace,” and in carrying on
discussions.

Only small group of antiwar
students stayed around the table
at the same time.

Confront Recruiters

The peace group talked to
the recruiters on an individual
basis and also to potential re-
cruitees. Members of the group
also read to the recruiters in-
dividually and only at a con-
versational level.

Allison read passages depict-
ing the realities of war from
“All Quiet on the Western
Front” to a Marine recruiter.

The peace group also con-
ducted an open forum
noon to 4 pm. in the Student
Center Theater.

A lot of shouting and inter-
rupting took place at the forum,
but only about 20 students
usually were present.

Allison said he invited mili-
tary recruiters to participate in
the forum at a breakfast-meet-
ing with them. But the re-
cruiters said they would not be
allowed to take part in a forum,
Allison said.

Record Budget In

By ROBERT BRANDT

University President John W. Oswald presented the UK biennial
budget for 1968-70 to the State’s Council on Public Higher Educa-

tion Tuesday.

The budget asked for $109
million for the two-year period.
The budget, largest in UK his-
tory, was previously approved
by the University's Board of
Trustees Executive Committee.

Ted Gilbert, executive di-
rector of the council, said all
six state universities presented
their budgets in a working ses-
sion of the council.

“No recommendation concém-
ing the UK budget was arrived
at,” he said.

The session was closed to the
press. Mr. Gilbert declined to
reveal how much the other state
universities asked for.

The Courier-Joumal, however,
disclosed these figures:

Murray State University—$20
million.

Kentucky State College—$5
million.

Western Kentucky University
—338.9 million.

Morehead State University—
317 million.

Eastern Kentucky University
--324 million (est).

The Council’s primary func-
tion is the budget review. Its
responsibility is to make recom-
mendations and comments and

forward the budget to the
finance department and the
governor.

Provisions in the University's
budget include:

0 123 additional faculty in
undergraduate teaching.

o Additional faculty in the
community college system.

0 Development of a Natural
Resources School.
0 Community College in-
stallations in four areas.
0 Strengthened library fa—
cilities.

Montessori Toys Fool Children:
They Think It s All For Fun

Two nuns have 50 two— to
five-year-olds fooled. The kids
think they're playing games when
they go to the toy-filled building
on Fourth Street. Really they’re
learning reading, writing. and
arithmetic; also smelling, feeling
and coloring.

The two sneaky nuns are Sis-
ter Mary Marcia and student
teacher Sister Cletus. They do
their work in the St. Peter Claver
School. It is an abandoned pub-
lic school taken over by the neigh-
boring Catholic Church after the
Negro children moved out. Two
years ago Montessori education
moved in.

Montessori education tiptoed
in with its special toys labeled
”Made in Holland." And it has
a very quieting effect on the
children. In the morning and af-
ternoon sessions of 26 children
in each class, hardly a word is
spoken.

Silence may be broken by the
sisters. Then they usually speak
to an individual because Montes-
sori education is a system of in—
dividual growth. The only time
the whole class is addressed is
when a new toy is explained.

“We let the children play

Sister Mary Marcia. Non-interfer-
ence is the number one rule of

the school. There is only one cus-
tomer to a toy. No one is al-
lowed to disturb another.

If a child breaks the number
one rule he may get a tiny fist
in his mouth. ”If the child who
butted in gets socked, he de~
served it and the problem is
solved," asserted Sister Cletus.

The sisters can t just sit back
and enjoy the quiet. If they did,
it might not be quiet. They have
to be on their toes.

There are lots of tricks to
the trade. One is the three-way
plan for teaching the alphabet.
Like the flower children who
seem fascinated by painting
shapes on themselves, these
school children are fascinated
by shapes on their hands. There
is one letter to a hand.

While the Sister has the child's
attention by drawing the letters
shape on his hand, she explains
the game.

Step one:
This hand is

“This hand is ‘F.'
‘.'"C Step two:
“Which hand is ‘F'? Which is
‘C'?" Step three: “What is this
hand? What is the other hand?"

The children first learn the
sounds of the letters. Later they
learn the sounds names. This
makes it possible for them to

spell out words by sound before
they can name the letters.

The children also learn rhym-
ing. They play with a box of ob-
jects. All the objects rhyme. If
they don t know the name of an
object, they learn it.

The word matching game im—
proves vocabulary. They match
the toy objects in a doll house
to words. “The objects help cre
ate a concrete impression of the
word," said Sister Mary Marcia.

The children may read and
add before they are able to form
the letters. This is because their
perception develops faster than
their coordination.

Few schools teach Montessori
methods although Montessori
schools are spreading. Since 1953,
400 such schools have been

‘opened in the United States. The
school in Greenwich, Conn., is
the only one which goes through
the twelfth grade.

While some Montessori
schools are prospering, others are
following the example of Alex-
ander Craham Bell's 1912 Mon-
tessori school. It failed.

Sister Mary Marcia thinks peo-
ple are curious. "So many peOple
come to watch, the children can't

play."

0 More student aid programs.

0 Expansion of the physical

tive faculty salaries.

0 Medical Center increases
for the addition of 48 faculty
members.

The budget goes into effect
July 1.

Previous Order

Previously Gov. Edward T.
Breathitt had ordered UK to
cut its present budget 8 per-
cent, or $3.6 million.

In carrying out the order,
Dr. A. D. Albright, executive
vice president, placed these
restrictions, among others, on
University spending:

0 No new employes are to
be added to the payroll, even
if positions become vacant.

0 Salaries will not be in-
creased under any circumstance.

O No additional bed activa-
tion will be undertaken in the
University Hospital.

Since the new budget won’t
go into effect until July 1, there
has been no hiring of faculty or
other University employees since
the governor's slash. And no
salaries have been raised.

It was left up to the Univer-

Vice President and Gene

 

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Wednesday, Dec. 6, l967 —-3

RECORD BUDGET ,IS IN

sity to decide how the $3.6
million should be saved. Salaries
can be raised and new faculty
members can be hired before
the new budget goes into effect
if the money can be saved in
other areas.
Immediate Method

The “no hiring" policy sent
out by Dr. Albright was an im-
mediate method of saving
money. The policy will be
dropped as soon as other de-
partments show they can save
in other areas such as travel,
supplies and‘telephone calls.

If the budget is passed by
the legislature there will be
some salary increases and hiring
of. faculty. Whether the budget
will go before the legislature
with the council's recommenda—
tion is a matter of speculation.

The bill will be one of the
first to go up before the legis-
lature at its next meeting.

The library, ordered to cut
spending by 10 percent, has
slowed its rate of buying new
books.

So far, however, the cut has
had little effecton the library
other than in supplies, telephone
calls and travel.

One effect, experienced by
the library and other depart—
ments, is that if an employe

 

quits, the department is unable
to replace him at present.

Mr. Gordon said the “freeze
is temporary,” and that the
library has continued to buy
books.

The UK bookstore, in con-
trast, has experienced no effect
from the slash. Its money does
not come from the general fund
which is affected by the reduc-
tion in spending.

The Medical Center reported
that the out has not affected it
seriously yet. Adjustments will
have to be made, a spokesman
said, but up to now there has
been no problem. But plans for
the activation of beds in the
spring were dropped when Dr.
Albright's letter was received.

LaPalombara
Will Speak

The Political Science Depart-
ment is sponsoring a colloquium
featuring a nationally known
political scientist Friday.

The session will be at 3 p.m.
in the King Alumni House.

Prof. Joseph LaPalombara,
Yale University professor of.

Two questions . . .

What if it happened at UK?

Thanking the public who made
it possible, through contributions
and pledges for their school to
maintain its independent status,
students at Kentucky Southern Col-
lege in Louisville listed six reasons
for saving Kentucky Southern:

1“. The students have valued the
small, highly personal character
of their life on campus.

2. The faculty is perceived by
the students as young, lively, ob-
viously competent, and interested
in them.

3. A serious and vocal attempt
has been made to relate to the
students on an adult-to-adult basis,
in classes, housing regulations,
honor system, etc.

4. The central core of interdis-
ciplinary courses has been taught
in such a way that students see
an interchange among instructors
from various disciplines, each at-
tempting to bring the contribution
of his discipline to bear on an

issue in question. Hence, they ex—
perience some sense of education
as a lively, on-going sort of thing

 

rather than a packaged body of
knowledge.

5. A great deal of attention has
been given to the role a liberally
educated person can play in deal-

ing with significant issues of con-
temporary life.

6. And they have constantly
been encouraged to be involved
and responsible people.

It must be a whale of a school
to have its student bodyso turned

on that they raise more than $1.2
million to keep it alive. They are
tuned in to a modem, progressive,
experimental curriculum at Ken-
tucky Southern.

Would these six reasons becited
if our University were in peril?

why the referendum?

Monday the Ticket Committee
met and decided to return to last
semester’s first come first serve
ticket distribution system.

Next semester student seat tick-
ets will be given to students as
they enter the Coliseum on the
night of the game.

To enable some of the presently
frustrated townsfolk to see the
games when students do not com-
pletely occupy the student section,
a cutoff time may be established,
so that, for example, all student
seat tickets not picked up by 7:30
pm. may be sold to the general
public. Students arriving after the
cutoff time would still beadmitted.

Student attendance annuallyde—
clines after the first game. Some
interesting figures, which indicate
how accurately the Ticket Corn-
mittee forecast student attendance
at the first game, show that 371
standing room tickets were issued
for the first game, and 247 students
with tickets failed to attend the
game.

Also on Monday a campus re~
ferendum was held on the method
of ticket distribution preferred by
the student body. Figures released
Tuesday night overwhelmingly in-
dicate students favor last semester' s
first come first service system.

Was the referendum really nec-
essary?

Letters to the Editor: the readers write

To the Editor of The Kernel:

Thursday will be the day for which
the campus has eagerly waited. Cal
Woodward has hit the Achilles heel of
the UK coeds egos. The seventh will be
their chance to prove him wrong. Circle
K is sponsoring a jam session in the
Student Center at 2 pm. with the
Wellingtons. Circle K believes, however,
that the lovelies of UK will most likely
not rise to the occasion. ‘

Steve Frat]:

Secretary. Circle K

To the Editor of The Kernel:

Apathy is a multi-faceted social phe-
nomena created by the minority to
categorize all students who fail to con-
form to their synthetic norms. Accord-
ing to Mr. Thom Pat Juul any student
not involved enough to publicly proclaim
his intolerance for the “hoary-headed”
administration and its “gestapoesque”
policies, is guilty of being apathetic.

Based on this criterion the entire stu-
dent body of this University is apthetic.
For if Mr. Juul deems it necessary for
University students to achieve the same
reptilian qualities which characterize his
oral and literary miscarriages, then all

students should plead guilty to being

apathetic.

The circulation of poorly-written, pro-
foundly inaccurate, and illogically-con-
ceived letters of grievance on University
property should draw anyone to an
apathetic condition.

To assume that University students
are incapable of seeing any inequalities
existant in their academic environment
is to commit them to gross ignorance.

The average University student is rea-
sonably aware of‘ inequity when he is
personally involved and certainly needs
no megalomaniac to point out the so-
called iniustices existant on our campus.

Apathy then, according to Mr. Juul,
exists when students fail to achieve the
same lack of judgment and irrational

 

we could wind up the whole thing”

involvement that Mr. quI himself
possesses. .

Apathy in this case is a merciful thing.
It does the very thing that Mam him-
self proposes to do—save us our-
selves. Student apathy cannot be cata-
logued, as in Mr. Juul's definition, it is
often inseparable from common sense.

Given a true cause and a responsible
delegate to voice that cause, students
would no longer be apathetic.

To assume otherwise would be to re-
duce us to the level of slobbering
primates existing by the instinct of herd-
ism.
Mr. quI has no cause (save possibly
the salving of his own aberrated ego).
He is not responsible. He lacks tact and
taste.

For these reasons the students of this
University are apathetic in his some-
what near-sighted eyes. Perhaps some-
day in Mr. qul’s “Utopia U.” students
will wander rheumy-eyed listening to
small transistorized voices mumbling in-
coherencies about how unjust the world
is.

Until that day Mr. Juul, unless stu-
dents become inept enough to listen to
anyone chauvinistic enough to mislead

indeed), will have to be contented to
be heard by minority audiences with
minority views.

Such is the tempering quality of
jusice. "Saviors” come and go; only a
few are remembered. Fortunately Thom
Pat qul will not be among them.

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

How can so many people be so un-
happy now that basketball season is
finally here? The ’68 Wildcats may be
the best ever and people gripe because
they may have to stand up two hours to
watch them play. (There are people in
this state who would pay full tuition
just to get a chance to see the Cats
play all year.) ,

There was a time when a UK stu-
dent only had the opportunity to see
every other game. Now that is something

to gripe about! I stood for one hour and
a half Monday and got 18 tickets, all of
which will be used.

[figure at30minutu perpersonper
game I saved about 7% hours of time
over last year's system, if I include going
to the freshmn games. Ifwe should skip
freshman games, which less avid fans
might want to do (at least prior to finals)
I must have saved about 43% manhours.

Concerning seats: Ibelievelam correct
in assuming that there are at least as
many seats in the Coliseum this year as
there were last and that of that number
approximately 1m percent will have tickets

‘ to match either on Nov. % or on Dec. 4.

It seerm to me that to come early
to get tickets is as easy on Tuesday morn-
ing as it is on Monday night and when
you consider that only one out of six
people has to come at all early it seems
like some kind of a blessing.

(Also our dates—we worry so about
them—don't have to wait in line.) Now
if both of your friends have classes all
day possibly you have a legitimate gripe.
But mybe you should just get new
friends because they didn't change the
time of the games because my friend
had an evening class last year.

Now if anyone offers to sell you a
student ticket to a UK home game you
czll the caps and we'll soon stop that.

And if anyone refuses you (you are
full-time?) a standing room only ticket
you write The Kernel. And my advice
as to dating is to take someone you like.
Or give your unwanted tickets to people
who write letters to The Kand.

Finally, money is a nice thing to
have if you plan to give scholarships.
house basketball, pay coaches, and keep
locks on the dressing room doors. I sup-
pose it is obvious that I have fairly good
seats. It's probably not so obvious that
I prefer last year's ticket distribution
method.

I write this letter 1.) to show my
appreciation for those who have tried
and continue to try to give us what
we want and 2.) to suggest that mybe-

THE LIGHT OF NIGHT OR
THE POPULARITY OF THE DARK
Where's the color hidden when it's dark?
When the light of day fades where are
the blues and greens?

Purple, maroon or dark red? They don't
like the night.

Why is the light of night so much darker
than the light of day?

Perhaps because it's afraid—afraid of the
dark—How can it be bright if it's
afraid?

Some say when the souls do reach
Perfection, then they merge in nil,
As though they were the ripened fruit

Dropp’dfrom thetree bywind and chill.

—]oe Hinds, Kernel Arts Editor

Simple blinds hide the light from the
dark—so it's lonely.

Switches and shades and signs all talk—
but not to the night—it's lonely.

No one says anything to the night—
except the moon-

The moon shines brightly when ‘it’s in
a good mood—hides when it’s mad—
comes out in parts iii-between. '

The night is deficient-r-how can you be"

complete if nobody likes you?

Grasping for the spider's thread
Always thwarted in ambition,
Until the living join the dead?

Dear Mr. Hinds,

Ihad a pop test in my beginning drawing and painting class the other day. I
had a difficult time answering the one and only question on the test so I wonder if
you could print a suitable answer in your colunm. The question was “Describe the

sex life of a toothpick."

Dear Artistic,

—Artistic Art Student

After careful research in a local bar, I discovered that toothpicks don’t even
start to move until after several screwdrivers. Toothpicks are 'too skinny to have any
