Terry Dunham, a senior journalism major and assistant managing editor of the Kernel, said
he offers the plan, not as a move

sincere attempt to establish w hat
he feels woidd be a beneficial
tradition for the entire University.
The proposal urges persons
who wish to dissent from the
views of any campus speaker
to demonstrate their feelings by
wearing an armband of any color.
This, Dunham says, would
show there are many members
of the University community who
are intellectually interested in

to say although they do not
accept the views presented. And
it would show that they can
respond to such views with mature and respectable behavior.

disrupts the speech and hardly
reflects favorably on the listeners
or the University.
"It is the right of every speaker at the University to expect
and receive courteous attention,

compatible with his listeners,"
Dunham said.

"This is particularly important during the convocation this

weekend, because it is a fonnal

"You heard that some of the anarchists lay down in front of
President Johnson's car when he was in California. Well, if you elect

will be the last car they ever lie in front of."
"Too many

bicycles straight."
"What it boils down to is that the
elite cult
in this country has too much influence. They say 'let the people speak,
but they had better speak properly.' "
"If I become president, I'm going to make it safe in Washington

"If we would turn the country over to the policeman for a couple
of years, they'd straighten things out."
"They call me a racist. I never made a speech in my life that
reflected on race. In the last general election, when my wife ran for
governor, she got 40 percent of the Negro vote statewide and 87 and
a half percent of the all Negro ward in Selma."
"I'm going to call those bureaucrats back to Washington with their
briefcases and throw them in the Potomac River."
"Those responsible for the breakdown in law and order are the

Kernel Forum: the readers write

To the Editor the Kernel:
George Wallace is going to speak at
UK, isn't that so fine? A national candidate has consented to speak at our
university. We will be able to hear George
Wallace in person and decide for ourselves whether he should be president
or not. Equal time has been granted
to all three major candidates. UK has
shown the nation it is a paragon of the
ideals of democracy and free speech,
where George Wallace and Eugene McCarthy can speak on the same forum as
Herbert Aptheker.
Not so simple.
In the first place while Ceorge Wallace
may be an official national candidate,
there are at least twenty other national
candidates in the U.S., and it is a generally shared belief among America's intelligentsia that George Wallace is not a
resjK)nsible candidate.
If you haven't heard his message yet
you may In? curious to hear for yourself,
and 1 agree you should listen to the
nun; but it should only take you five
or ten minutes to realize what he is.
There is nothing wrong with listening
to him longer; we all have a baser instinct no matter how good we think we
are. I'll admit it is for this reason I want
to hear Wallace speak, and I have a feeling it is for this reason most UK students
will also want to hear him speak (or
after they have heard him for five or ten
minutes, will want to continue hearing
him speak).
And is the University of Kentucky
showing itself to be a paragon of democracy and free speech by inviting
George Wallace to speak? Certainly, but
the trouble is our somewhat less tlian
n
renowned substitute president A. D.
has gone one step further than just
allowing free speech at UK; he has invited
tliLs clown, George Wallace, to speak at
UK on an equal basis with responsible
presidential candidates! The invitation
isn't a cheap one, it is to speak at a
convocation, something that doesn't happen at the University but a few times
a year, and only in very important circumstances. Eugene McCarthy and Herbert Aptheker were not given this coveted
honor by the University (not tliat I necessarily tlunk they should liave), although
of

'Why Don't People Respect Me Anymore?'

Kir-wa-

the University did condescend and ajlow
Herbert Aptheker to speak here afterthe
Student Center Board invited him. In
effect Kirwan has told the nation that the

University of Kentucky thinks George
Wallace is a responsible candidate worth
listening to and deserving serious consideration as a possible good president
by everyone.
Of course Wallace lias been invited
to speak at many prominent universities
throughout the nation (although I'm not
sure whether the universities have officially invited him or have allowed him to
speak after some campus organization
made the invitation) so why will the
University of Kentucky inparticular get
associated with him? Mainly because the
University of Kentucky is located in a
state which will probably give George
Wallace some of his greatest support,
and the national prejudice naturally connects the state university with the state.
In fact, I feel, the great majority of UK
students and faculty agree with the national intellect ual opinion that George Wallace
is little more than the latest popular
rabble rouser(who's power perhaps may be
dangerous), and only want to hear him
talk out of the above mentioned gross
curiosity. But the nation doesn't think
this, all it will think is "Well there's
that dangerous clown George Wallace
giving another major speech . . . humm,
this time at the University of Kentucky
that's logical, the state is giving Wallace a lot of support, its university must be
too . . . tliat irresponsible hillbilly-whit- e
You don't think so?
trash school
Being close to UK we know this reasoning
is wrong, anil we know that UK is one of
the nation's best universities, and is becoming even Ix'tter. But national opinion
is a suspicious, ignorant creature, and in
this case what A. D. Kirwan has done
(no doubt due to conscious o
