The winter's first snow, especially when it comes on Nov. 2, is
a big deal on campus. Those "disappeared" cafeteria trays turn

fined Black Power as a "reconstruction movement" whereby
Negroes amass their economic
and political power behind the
mass for their own profit. "Where
the Negro is in majority," Scott
said, "Black Power proposes to
have the Negro in control."
He said Black Power posed
no real threat to whites. "It is
not trying to take your rights-- it
is trying to take your vested
interests. Whites have taken
(Negroes') vested interests and
have said 'go slow' in getting
them back," Scott said.
Speaking before a faculty
forum at noon, Scott said integration is not the goal of
Black Power. "We want a
society based on free choice."
When this is attained, Black
Power will go out of business,
he predicted.
Scott said the movement seeks
to move Negroes from prejudice
of ascription to prejudice of
achievement. These are the two
types of race relations systems
operating today, Scott said.
Under prejudice by ascription,
social status is confirmed from
ancestoral origins. It disregards
achievements and ascribes status based on birth rights, he

said.
"Rigid, catagorical discrimination is more apt to exist in
an ascription system," Scott said.
Prejudice by achievement assigns social status by what you
appear to be, what you have
attained, Scott said. This is the
type of prejudice Negroes desire,

he claimed.

Neither Brown, Cooper Wrong On Tobacco

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN
Kernel Staff Writer
Cutbacks in Kentucky's tobacco acreage have become
one of the key issues in the current senatorial campaign
between Republican incumbent John Sherman Cooper
and his Democratic challenger, John Y. Brown.
Since the campaign began in early August, both
Cooper and Brown have leveled charges at each other
on burley acreage declines covering the past 20 years.
Basically the debate has taken this form:
Brown, a Lexington attorney, has accused Cooper of
supporting legislation which cuts Kentucky acreage allotments at a greater rate than any other state.
Cooper, in defense, has argued that cuts in acreage
apply equally in all states and were necessary to bring
supply in line with demand.

Who's right?
Essentially neither man is wrong. The issue, however, is not one of being right or wrong, but a question
of which point is actually significant to the present
tobacco situation.

The answer, UK tobacco economists feel, can be
found in statistics released by the Department of Agri-

culture.
These statistics show:
Six years ago, when Cooper was elected for his
first full term to the Senate, Kentucky's burley tobacco
acreage was about 200,500 acres against 308,500 for the
nation. Today those allottments total only 160,000
some 25 percent lower. But the national figures have
also decreased to 250,000 acres.
If Kentucky, as Brown charges, has lost more
than its share of acreage allotments, it's because it
s
of the burley bases in the
controls nearly
or less are not affected by

special provisions applying to smaller allotments, and
Kentucky has fewer of these bases than do other states
such as Tennessee, North Carolina or West Virginia.
One agriculture economist at UK said, "I really
two-third-

half-acr- e

don't think the allotments would be any different if
someone besides Cooper were in office. It's a federal
program, affecting not only Kentucky, but all states."
He said lower allotments in Kentucky or any other
state actually have had little effect on total burley
production and income. In fact, production and income have increased a little.
Due to a
yield per acre, Kentucky's production is slightly above its 1960 crop of some
320 million pounds. At the same time, the national
figure has dropped from 580 million pounds to 543
million. And Kentucky is now producing 6S.3 percent
of the nation's burley compared to 66 percent in 1960.
The grower has actually benefited from the acreage
declines, the economist pointed out. In the last five
years, the price of Kentucky burley has advanced from
64.1 cents per pound to 6C.8 cents per pound.
If total acreage had not been curbed, he said, the
state would have faced a tremendous
of
tobacco, and prices would have dropped possibly as
low as 16 to 20 cents a pound.

Combs To Run, Source Says
Special

To The KrrnH

FHANKFOHT It is" almost certain that former Gov. Bert T.
Combs will be a candidate for governor next year, informed sources
said Wednesday.
The sources said Combs' backers expressed their hopes he
would run, and Combs said he would reconsider his earlier decision of not being a candidate.
Henry Ward, highway commissioner, would run on the ticket
with Combs, the source said. Ward was regarded as the administration's top choice for governor, but some parly leaders said
he lacked the magnetism to unite the party if it were split in

the primary.

Attorney General Robert Matthews would become campaign
manager, the sources said. This could allow Matthews to get
an appointive position, such as highway commissioner, after the
election.
Sen. J. D. Huckman, Shepherdsville, said he is definitely in
the race, and former Gov. A. H. Chandler has filed for the nomination. After meeting with Gov. Edward T. Hreathitt, the first time
the governor had seen Waterfield in the latter's office in two
years, Lt. Gov. Harry Lee Waterfield, factional opponent of the
administration, said his "brim was still in the ring'.'

The Strike Lingers

snow began falling Wednesday, it became
clear that winter will impose additional hardships on Lexington
bus riders before the transit strike,
now 26 days old, is settled.
The fact that there are approximately 11,000 school children
who depend on the buses reiterates
the fact that the strike must be
brought to a quick halt.
And as we have stated before,
the absence of the buses could
considerably hurt the pocketbook
of the downtown merchants as
the Christmas shopping season begins.
It is only recently that a muster of civic pride in downtown
Lexington has become truly apparent, and it would be a shame
to see this snuffed out by a transit strike. Whereas shopping centers are generally reached by customers driving automobiles, many
patrons of downtown merchants
depend on buses, or would rather
take the bus than struggle for a
parking area.
As more automobiles are brought
downtown because of worsening
weather, the opening of the Christmas shopping season and the lack
of a transit system, we believe many
shoppers will turn to the shopping
centers to avoid the confusion. In
addition, many without a car will
have difficulty getting downtown
at all.
It is unfortunate that downtown
merchants should become a victim
of such a pointless strike.
With so many children depending on buses, absenteeism seems
.deigned to rise in schools, including the University. Certainly there

Worse. It Just Dropped Two Degrees."

of UK students, staff and faculty who normally ride buses, especially in such
weather as was evident Wednesday. Those living considerable distances from campus, who are not
willing or able to walk through
slushy snow or cannot afford a
taxi, may be forced to remain
at home.
S. W. Duncan, a federal mediator in Louisville, announced Monday it would be the latter part
of this week before he would call
another negotiation session between representatives of the Lexington Transit Corp. and Local
639 of the Amalgamated Transit
Union.
So far, the union has been willing to compromise its original demand. Originally, it was asking
for a
an hour increase
for its 96 drivers, who were being
paid $1.80 an hour. Now, with
a Cincinnati bus company offering to pay local drivers up to
twice that amount, we wonder if
many of them won't be lost by
Lexington Transit before the strike
it settled.
The burden of action now seems
to lie with the management, which
for some reason has not been willing to raise bus fare from 20 to
25 cents to help meet union demands. Those slushing through the
snow would gladly, we think, have
been willing to pay a nickle more
a ride than to have no buses at
all.
A bus company has every right
to make a profit. Hut at the same
time, it is a public service facility,
and management should keep this
in mind.

OPEN HOUSING: POLITICAL POSITION PAPERS
SDS Position
THE BOURBON AND TOBACCO
GAZETTE STAFF
(An SDS Newsletter)
"We cordially believe in the rights of
property. We think that normally, and in
the long run the rights of humanity,

the rights of mankind, coincide with the
rights of property, and that the two sets
of rights are in large part inextricably
interwoven; and so we would protect
property in all its rights. But we feel
that if in exceptional cases there is any
conflict between the rights of property and
the rights of man, then we must stand
for the rights of man."
This is an excerpt from a speech by
Theodore Roosevelt, made at Syracuse
at the end of his Western tour in 1910.
It expresses one of his dominant themes
in this tour, and expresses also the feelings of many who favor legislation prohibiting discrimination in public housing
and accommodations. For the chief argu

ment used by the opponents of such legislation is the primacy of property rights
over human rights (or civil rights).
We maintain the view of Roosevelt
that in cases of conflict property rights
must yield, and discrimination in housing Involves such a conflict.

The proposed city ordinance for Lexington on Open Housing would, in its
provisions, apply primarily to persons
engaged in public services: real estate
agents and mortgage companies; It would
prohibit a loan agency frou refusing a
home loan to a person on account of his
race, religion, or sex, and would prohibit a real estate agent from refusing to
show property to a person on these
grounds.
Thus, the moral and legal arguments
on the issue of open housing are much
the same as for public accommodations.
That is persons licensed by the state
for the performance of services cannot engage in racial discrimination in the performance of those services.
Discrimination in housing is undemo

The Kernel has welcomed the suggestion of various campus
political organizations that occasional space be made available for political position papers. The campus Students for a
Democratic Society and Young Americans for Freedom chapters responded to our request for papers on open housing.

cratic, just as is discrimination in restaurants and theaters. A democratic society
cannot permit discrimination against a
whole class of its citizens by a service
industry.
All Americans should have the right to
buy or rent a house in the neighborhood
of their choice, just as they now have the
right to eat in a restaurant of their choice.
We uphold the rights of property, but
forget that Negroes have property rights,
too, including the right to acquire property. Negro citizens of our community
find it practically impossible to buy or
rent a home outside those areas traditionally recognized as Negro housing

areas.

Of course, all of these areas are very
socioeconomic areas. Real estate
agents refuse or are reluctant to show
homes to prospective Negro buyers in
areas outside the ghetto. Mortgage companies and banks deny, or set difficult
hurdles for Negroes attempting to obtain
home financing in traditionally white

And the open housing ordinance certainly would do very little to improve
the low quality housing that exists in
Negro areas. This legislation would ben-ifthose few Negroes who are moving
up to the middle class, and thus would
have limited impact. Nevertheless, div
crimination in housing is one of the
injustices of our community, which could
be reduced greatly by the proposed
open
housing ordinance.

It is unnecessary to point out that
the University would greatly benefit from
an open housing ordinance in Lexington.
It would be very difficult to recruit more
Negro faculty members unless it is possible for them to obtain suitable housing.

YAF Position

YAF Vice Chairman

The Sharon Statement, the statement of principle adopted by Young Americans for Freedom
at its founding, states ". . . that liberty is indivisible, and that political freedom cannot long
exist without economic freedom."
We of YAF feel that this principle concisely
sums up the flaw inherent in open housing proposals; that they represent intolerable infringements upon the right of the individual to use
and dispose of his property as he sees fit. In
fact, it is more accurate to refer to "open housing" laws as "forced rental" laws.
The right to property was clearly recognized
as a necessary condition for freedom at the time
of the nation's founding. Hie Bill of Rights states
that no person may be deprived of life, liberty,
or property without due process of law.
In recent times, however, the concept of private property has come under attack from two
directions. First, various collectivist movements,
such as socialism and Communism have condemned private property as the cause of various
social evils. Second, the civil rights movement
has long pressed for legislation designed to eliminate racial and religious discr
