SG Attacks

'Right To Privacy'
Clause Of Student Bill Of Rights
By SIDNEY FRANKLIN
Kernel Staff Writer

The "right to privacy"
article of the proposed Student
Bill of Rights came under sharp
attack Thursday night during an
open floor discussion of the bill
by Student Government.
At issue was the dean of students' authority, under the pro-

posed bill, to provide in certain
cases for the entering and searching of a student's dormitory room
in the student's absence.
The third article of the Bill

of Rights written by a committee of the University Senate emphasizes the right jof the student to be immune "from unreasonable intrusions into his
privacy and from unreasonable
searches and seizures of his person and property on premises
controlled by the University."
But it adds that room searches
may be made with "written
authorization from an official designated by the dean of students
for that purpose. The authoriza-tion shall state the particular
time and place of the search

and the particular property to be
seized."

"Why is the dean of students
given the authority to name the
person who issues the warrant?"
asked SAR representative Thorn

Patjuul.
Juul asserted that someone in
the "academic community" "a
professor or the head of the College of Law" should be given

the authority.
The Bill of Rights is scheduled to come before the University Senate on Monday for
a "consensus" assessment.

Red Mile Dinner Theater Opens With 'High Spirits9
By TERRY DUNHAM

The Lexington area's second
dinner theater, the RedMileDin-ne- r

at the Lexington Trotting Track
with a o play and an
Cabaret that should become an "in" place for University students.

wise choice for the Red Mile's
opening, for the musical adaptation of Noel Coward's "Blithe
Spirit" is far from outstanding.
The songs, though sung satisfactorily throughout and excellently in several instances, are
inadequately integrated into the
rest of the script.
The plot concerns a married
man who, in a seance, unwittingly recalls his dead first wife
from "the other side" and thus
generates a fascinatingly unique
"love triangle." The potential
of the idea is not fully exploited,

straining this viewer's imagination but seemingly pleasing the
crowd.

Bill Nave, a Versailles insurance man and experienced actor,
plays the shocked husband, and
Charlann Simon, wife of UK professor Sheldon Simon, is
as his second wife. ;
Elvira is the "supernatural"
first wife, who returns in the hope
of slaying her husband so that
he might join her on the other
side. Shirley Wolff, who plays
Elvira, is from Chicago, the only
outsider in the production, and
also the most delightful musical
talent.
The play created staging problems which should have caused
further consideration before it
was. selected for opening night.
The dinner theater was built
inside'the'RedTMile Clubho'use
at the Trotting Track by adding
a stage and tables for 350 persons.
Staging Problem
The stage lacks a curtain, however, so that each scene change
must either be made in a "blackout" or in full view of the audience.
For the present production the
management chose the latter
method, and used the
chorus to move props on and
off the stage while hamming the
spot as entertainingly as possible.
It is to the credit of the
chorus made up mostly of University students that at the end
of one such scene change they
earned what was probably the
biggest hand given to any

minutes each.

as well.

The performers sing and improvise each night at 11 and the
informal atmosphere and the
club's liquor license should
please those who attend.
And A Comparison
Comparing the two dinner theaters the Red Mile and
its predecessor, the Bam reveals several differences.
The Red Mile is obviously
more conveniently located, for the
Barn is about a dozen - miles
out the Winchester Road.
The latter theater's physical
p
is superior, however. Specially built for dinner plays,
the Bam also seats 350 persons,
but none are more than 28 feet
from the stage. At the Red Mile
many in the audience are removed more than several times
that distance.
The Red Mile, boasting a delicious . steamship . round roast

bee, would
for superior food. Each theatre'
has a buffet dinner with a variety
of salads, vegetables, meats and
desserts. The Bam does not have
a liquor license but permits members of the audience to bring
in their own bottles.
Finally, the Bam productions are staged and cast in New
York, while the Red Mile is apparently planning to draw heavily on local talent. In most instances in "High Spirits" this
did not reflect unfavorably on
the actors' abilities, however, and
the local flavor is interesting.
Even Dr. Simon had a role in
the play, and handled it competently.
The Red Mile is open seven
nights a week. Dinner begins
at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday and the
play at 7, while on other nights
dinner starts at 7 and the play
at about 8:30. Tickets are $5.50
on Sunday,
$6.50
Monday
through Thursday, and $7.50 on
Friday and Saturday.

JuuPs Deal
The disclosure of Student Government presidential candidate
Thorn Pat Juul's dealings with certain Young Republican leaders represents a very disappointing development. Juul this year has been
the leading figure in the few progressive stands Student Government has made. And he has been
one of the few consistently outspoken advocates of student rights
who has not trembled before administrators.
Juul is dealing with Steve Dries-le- r,
a YR. Juul apparently is attempting to obtain campaign support from the campus (and perhaps state) Republican organization in return for the YRs being
allowed to name Juul's vice presidential candidate and six of the

;

people to run on Juul's slate of
representatives. What is particularly alarming in this already shady
deal is that Driesler is aligned
with the Nunn faction of the YR's
and has close ties to the state
capitol.
The possibility of having six
Nunn influences in Student Government, as well as one in the
vice presidential office, is a very
sobering thought.
It is for this reason, despite
Juul's other attrubutes, that we
must announce our strong opposition to his candidacy as it stands
now. The reason we are announcing our opposition now and not at
election time is because something
must be done about getting some
qualified candidates to run.
Bruce Carver, a former cabinet
member under Wally Bryan, who,
to his credit, resigned his position,
is the only other officially declared

candidate. Carver is by no means
completely unqualified for the office. But to date he has declined
to run a serious campaign and his
intentions are somewhat doubtful.
Tim Futrell, currently Bryan's
vice president, is the only other
likely candidate at this time. Futrell, while he also possesses a number of capabilities, has long since
sold out his usefulness to students.
He is cast in the mold of the classical UK SG president: the right
clothes, the glad hand, the handsome appearance and the prestigious fraternity. He is aligned with
a liberal faction of the state Democratic party and most likely is involved in more deals than Juul,
though perhaps with not so dangerous elements. (The Democrats
are out of power at present.)
Futrell will have heavy backing
from what is left of the campus
Greek machine. In addition to these
drawbacks he has no real awareness of the underlying problems
and issues facing higher education.
His main incentive for running appears to be that of gaining a notch
for advancement in state politics
and cannot be characterized by having any lasting commitment to students.
The point of this is not necessarily to cast a spell of gloom
over the few concerned students on
campus. Several courses of action
still are available if something is
done right away.
Perhaps the most drastic alternative would be that of encouraging students to vote "no" this
election to vote in favor of abolishing Student Government as a nonviable and unproductive institution. Current developments offer
much evidence to support this suggestion. But no one really wants to
completely do away with Student
Government because sooner or later
students here are going to have to
prove themselves capable of running some aspects of the University. It is certain that they cannot
rely on administrators for fair and
enlightened governing.
Perhaps the best idea would be'
obtaining a qualified and aware;
candidate to enter the race while
there is still time. Such a person
has not come to the front so far,
but the deadline for filing as a candidate is not until near the end of
the month. There is till time.
It may be difficult to find such
a person on the UK campus, much
less persuade him to run. But surely there has to be someone somewhere.
Think about it. And more important, think about what will happen if such a candidate does not
materialize.

Farm Problems
To the Editor of the Kernel:
After reading M r. Rauch' s letter printed '
the March 4 issue of the Kernel, espein
cially his response to objection No. 4,
I decided that it is about time someone
used a little logic, especially Mr. Rauch
and his fellow grape boycotters. First
of all, let it be known that I am not
against boycotts or farmer's Unions, as
a matter of fact, I am a farm boy and a
member of the National Farmer's Organization, which is more than Mr. Rauch
can say for himself probably one of the
reasons that he is involved in this ridicu-- .
lous grape boycott.
The grape boycott is not ridiculous
because of its purpose, but because of its
undue season. There are more important
and practical things that should be given
priority. For instance, there are many
more hog and cattle producers in the
United States than there are vineyards,
and more people in this country eat
pork and beef than eat grapes, yet hog
and cattle producers do well to break
even in a normal year. The prices they
receive for their livestock seldom meet
the costs of raising the animals. Examplea farmer must receive at least 22
cents per pound for a 200 pound hog to
make a living selling hogs. Check the
livestock report on prices paid for top
hogs they are usually less than this
bare minimum. The N.F.O. has been
trying to force the dictators of these
prices (not the consumer, but the large
chain store owners; the only people who
can dictate what they'll pay for a product
and what they will receive for the same
product) to give fanners their minimum
by holding their livestock, but failed
miserably.
We tried to raise the prices paid for
corn, wheat and milk in the same way
and with the same results. Why? Because
there is no outside support no consumer
seems to give a damn about the common
farmer, yet they raise all sorts of problems when a group of wetbacks from
California weep because they aren't being
paid well enough for labor that could be
done by an untrained
Why not give the majority of the farmers a livable, profitable livelihood rather
than the pathetic minority known as
migratory labor. Migratory labor has never
been, nor will it ever be the backbone
of this nation; the common farmer has
been, and will continue to be, until
all of his sons have been- driven from

the farm, as many have, because fanning is so unprofitable.
It seems to me. that if-group of,
people" were going to dedicate themselves'
to a cause, they would choose one that
would be of benefit to more people,
or at least to a people whose discontent
could make America the most poverty
stricken nation in the world (no one can
be affluent and hungry at the same time.)

YAF Goals
I wish to explain at this time the
goals and beliefs of the Young Americans for Freedom. In the past, this
organization has been assigned an enigma
of the college-levJohn Birch society
this enigma is entirely false and not
representative of the organization's true
beliefs and purposes.
The Young Americans for Freedom
is an organization of youthful collegians
whose belief is that the conservative
way is the proper way of solving the
nation's problems and the state's problems. It provides an outlet for a conservative thinker to produce his ideas
for resolution of the many conflicts we
as Americans are faced with such as
riots on our campuses, crime in our
streets, hunger and racism.
I feel, as a conservative, that this
outlet is imperative in light of the college students' emphasis shift to the m
