5,100 UK Students Mold
Founders' Day Tickets
About 5,100 University students have been issued tickets to
attend the Founder's Day Convocation Monday in Memorial
Coliseum.
Dr. J. W. Patterson, Centennial coordinator, announced at
a special press conference Wednesday that a limited number of
tickets will be made available
to the general public Friday.
Dr. Patterson said members
of the public would receive the
convocation tickets on a "first
come, first served basis" at the
west ticket window of the Coliseum, beginning at 9 a.m. Friday. He said distribution would
continue until 5 p.m. or until
the ticket supply is exhausted.
The centennial coordinator
said he was "pleased with the
number of students planning to
attend the convocation." The
deadline for receiving student
tickets was Wednesday afternoon.
Admission to the convocation,
which will feature an address by
President Lyndon B. Johnson,
will be by ticket only. The tickets
are being offered without cost.
Students attending the convocation will be required to present
their ID cards as well as the
special ticket.
Dr. Glenwood Creech, vice

president for University relations,
said President Johnson was expected to arrive at Blue Grass
Field at about 2:30 p.m. Monday. A motorcade will take the
President directly to the Coliseum.
The route of the presidential
motorcade has not been announced by White House officials.
It is expected that the President's speech will begin about
3:15 or 3:20 p.m. No announcement has been made as to the
nature of the address, which will
mark the 100th anniversary of the
founding of the University.
President Johnson will leave
the UK campus at about 3:55
p.m. The President will make no
public appearances in Lexington
except at the convocation. He
will leave Blue Grass Field at
about 4:20 p.m.
The President's wife, Lady
Bird, also will attend the convocation.
Dr. Patterson said Monday's
convocation would be opened by
an academic procession, which
will start into the Coliseum at
2:15 p.m. The convocation will
already be underway when the
President arrives.
All students must be in their
seats in the Coliseum by 1:30

The City of Lexington will install safety measures at one of two
scenes of recent pedestrian-autaccidents involving University
students.
Howard Cabbard, associate
traffic engineer for the City, said
traffic islands will be installed on
Hose Street in front of the Fine
Arts Building, the place where
sophomore Linda Hankin was
struck two weeks ago. Parking
will be prohibited at all times
along that block, also, and flashing lights will caution motorists.
Apparently nothing will be
done immediately about the Harrison - Euclid intersection, the
other accident site.
Mr. Cabbard said the Traffic
commission proposed a tunnel
under the intersection and had
passed the plank along to the
o

state. The proposal was made
two years ago when Hose Street
was widened.
A representative of the State
Highway Department said last
week that although Euclid Avenue became a part of the State
Highway system further to the
interFast, the
section was not on a state road.
Fuclid-Harriso-

n

Mr. Cabbard said a repainting
of the crosswalk at the intersection is the only thing which can
be done right now. Since the
paint would need 36 hours todry,

this could not be done until
weather permitted it.
The tunnel, which was to be
lined with white tile and patrolled by security officers at
night, was approved by the Dean
of Women's office.

-- THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Thursday, Feb. 18,

Ann Dickinson, Film Society President.
Discusses Experimental Film Showing
By SCOTT NUNLEY
Kernel Arts Editor

(Ann Dickinson is president of the

University's Experimental Film
Society, a member of Alpha Delta
Fi sorority and D.E.U. English
honorary. Miss Dickinson is a
senior majoring in English in the
college of Arts and Sciences from
Glasgow, Kentucky.)
Kernel Ann, Monday evening
the Experimental Film Society
had its second showing of the
spring semester, featuring four
films by Stan Brakhage. How
were these films generally received?
Dickinson I think quite a few
people were disappointed in the
Brakhage films. They were very
different from the Anger films of
our first showing.
Kernel In what way?
Dickinson The Anger films
seemed to reach more people. I
heard quite a few people express
the fact that the last film, "Anticipation of the Night," was
trying for them to watch.
Kernel Was its length a problem?
Dickinson Apparently. But
it was 30 minutes long, about
the same length as Anger's "Scorpio Rising." Brakhage's film was
much more difficult to watch. To
understand the film itself, you
have to catch the many fast
images.
Then, too, the meaning of
"Scorpio Rising" seemed to be
evident to most of the audience.
But a lot of people were simply
bewildered by the Brakhage
movie.
Kernel

Of the films shown

Monday, which was the best
received?
Dickinson Generally "Loving And Other Films" seemed to
be the best understood. Personally, though, I still enjoyed "Anticipation Of The Night."
Kernel Ann, how did the Experimental Film Society begin?
Dickinson Well, the first interest was stimulated last spring
by Stan Brakhage's visit. We
hoped then that Brakhage would
be teaching a course in history of
the film here at the University
in the fall.
Most of us hadn't known that
there were such things as experimental films until Brakhage came.
Then Markopoulus visit last October really got us interested. I
wondered whether we couldn't
have a film society of our own, so
we could bring more of these artists works to Lexington.
Kernel Did you go to the
University for help?
1
Dickinson
originally
thought that we might have to.
The films are expensive, about a
dollar a minute. So, we had the
choice of being able to charge
less per ticket and ask the University for help, or else of asking
five dollars for each ticket and
starting the program immediately.
Kernel Were you afraid that
you would have to wait if you
received University help?
Dickinson We might have
had to wait until next semester.
And, too, the problem of censorship would always be present.
This way we can be on our own
and choose all our own movies.

Kernel Does the Film Society have a faculty adviser?
Dickinson Yes. Dr. Guy Davenport of the English Department is our adviser and helps us
to decide what films we'll show.
But the final decision is up to the
Society. I think we're as independent as any group can be on a
university campus.
Kernel You mentioned censorship, Ann. Has the Film Society run into any problems in this
area?
Dickinson No. I don't anticipate any. Experimental film societies exist on many college campuses now, and experimental
films are accepted as a form of
art.
For example, Jack Smith's
film "Flaming Creatures" is probably the most notorious of the
early films. It was banned by
New York police, and the people
involved with it were arrested.
But public attitudes have changed in the last few years. "Flaming Creatures" was shown in
December on the University of
Wisconsin campus with no trouble. As part of a YWCA series.
Kernel -- YWCA?
Dickinson Yes. Of course,
there is a big difference between
the liberalism of Wisconsin and
Kentucky.
Kernel What is your estimate,
Ann, of the liberal spirit of the
University of Kentucky?
Dickinson I definitely don't
think you can consider the Uni- -

Dickinson About 20 percent.
Kernel The Film Society has
already had two showings, Ann.
How many more do you plan?
Dickinson There will be five

that I don't fear censorship here
is not a measure of the University's liberalism, as much as it is
of the general apathetic attitude.
Kernel Attitude toward what
in particular?
Dickinson Well, for example
the University would approve
something like the Film Society
because it sounded cultural and
intellectual. But I don't believe
that it would be too interested

Dickinson From what I've
heard, members of the Art and

them to see a new art form, but
it also shows them that the students are interested in something

The closing hour set for women's residence units for the night
of the Centennial Grand Ball presents the opportunity to plea for
the emancipation of the coed. It
will undoubtedly do little good; there
is something ineffably nasty about
the thought that girls might be
able to stay out all night.
Somewhere within the logic that
dictates this Victorian moral code
of women's hours is a genuine concern of the administration for the
well-bein- g
of women. Yet, we submit that the approach is all wrong-allow- ing
coeds to manage their
own lives would be of greater service to them than the imposition of
arbitrary and annoying curfews.
A case for hours might very well
be made to apply to
freshman coeds, for often this is
the first time they are away from
parental deadlines and mandatory
homework. Yet this applies equally
well to
males, and a
good number of them seem to survive the freedom they are given.
We recognize that the University is relatively liberal in this
matter of coed hours and that Dean

credit for what sense there is now
in the set of rules UK imposes upon its women. And we realize the
difficulty Dean Seward has faced
in changing a long standing set of
principles to make them even as
liberal as they are now.
But this does not change the
basic issue: if men can be free
to make these decisions for themselves, why not the coeds too?
We recognize all the obvious
differences between men and women and realize that there is some
validity in theory that women must

be protected.

Nevertheless, we feel the system
of hours imposed upon women students at the University is unrealistic and not in the best interests
of the women involved.
We think the most satisfactory
step would be to remove these regu-

lations all together and establish
a code similar to that now governing men.

A New Voting Law
Martin Luther King's voter registration drive in Selma has dramatized once more the massive barriers
which confront Southern Negroes
who attempt to register and vote. At
present, approximately 40 percent
of the Negroes in the South are able
to vote, although in some states the
figure is much lower. In Mississippi,
only seven percent of the Negro
population is registered.
The Civil Rights Acts of 1957,
1960, and 1964 were designed to
meet this problem, but they have
not succeeded. The major difficulty
in the past has been that victims of
discrimination have had to seek relief through the courts. And this is
a slow and expensive process. Individuals may have to risk their
lives and livelihoods to secure their
rights. Even the Justice Department
does not have a large enough staff
to research and prepare the hundreds perhaps thousands of cases
which may be necessary to strike
down voting barriers.
Burke Marshall, former chief of
the civil rights division of the Justice Department, conceded in a lecture at Columbia last year that the
Government had not succeeded in
seven years "in making the right to
vote real for Negroes in Mississippi,
large parts of Alabama and Louisiana, and some counties in Georgia,
South Carolina, and Tennessee."
It is now time for emergency
measures. The President should propose new legislation to establish a
Voting Commission, similar to the
present Civil Rights Commission,
which would be authorized to ap

point Federal voting registrars for
any area in which the Commission
found voting discrimination. This
innovation would end the tortuous
delays of the present judicial route.
The registrars would move into
the area a single county, or perhaps in the case of Mississippi an
entire state and register anyone
who met certain designated qualifications. Because the Fifteenth
Amendment gives the Federal government the power to protect voting
rights in all elections, such registration would be valid for state and
local, as well as Federal, elections.
The registrars would remain until
local officials satisfied the Commission that they were prepared to resume registration without discrimination.
There is one danger in proposing
new legislation. In the past, espeFederal officials
cially in 1963-6have used the excuse that civil
rights acts were pending in Congress to try to quiet Negro militancy. In the summer of 1963, for example, many congressmen warned
that a Negro March on Washington
would only harm the prospects of
the proposed legislation.
President Johnson must not use
this tactic. Rather, he should encourage Negroes to demonstrate,
march and organize in short, to
continue fighting for their rights
until they win full citizenship in
American society. But their battle
must be his too. Only when he adds
his broad power to their efforts will
