After Leave

University Dean of Men Kenneth Harper reported today he plans
leave of
to return to UK in February upon completing a one-yeabsence.
Presently a consultant with
Volunteers in Service to America in Washington, D. C, Harper
told the Kernel he knew nothing
of a report that he would be
appointed president of Pikeville
(Ky.) College.
In a telephone

interview,
Harper said he definitely plans
to assume his duties here when
his leve of absence is terminated
Feb. 1, 1967.
When questioned about the
lossible presidency, he said "I
haven't heard anything about it
yet. "As far as I know I'll be
back at the University as soon
as my term with VISTA is completed. I don't know where the
rumor came from," he added.
"I'm assuming he's returning
as Dean of Men," Robert L.
Johnson, Vice President of Student Affairs said. That's what
we're planning on. We've had
no indication that he's not,"
Johnson sated. The Office of
Dean of Men is a unit of the
Student Affairs Office.

Pikevillc's Acting President
Rediford Damron said today that
although the college is seeking
a new president, the selection
committee has not yet met to
consider applications.
Johnson also said no change
is planned in the structure ofthe
offices of the Deans of Men and
Women, as had been reported
earlier.

Johnson added he had no
of any change in
Harper's duties when he does
return and that any such change
would have to be initiated by
Harper.
He said that Acting Dean of
Men Jack Hall would return to
his previous position as assistant
dean. Joseph Burch, also an assistant dean, will continue in
that position.

for temporary parking lots. The University is building
the gravel lots to help relieve the parking problem

UK Horse Lovers Tour Farms
By MARYJEAN WALL
Kernel Staff Writer
UK horse lovers
Twenty-thre- e
were taken on a guided tour of
Lexington horse farms Thursday
afternoon by the Student Center
Board.

The tour, one ot the many
ictivities scheduled for the fall
.emester by the Board, included
topsat several of the farms along
he Ironworks and Hoffman
Pikes.
Of special interest was the
site of the Man o' War statue
near Man o' War Farm. The

bronze replica of the immortal
"Big Red" stands guard over
the interred bodies of Man o'
War and two of his famous sons,
War Admiral and War Relic.

at Klmcndorf Farm, owned by
Max Cluck. From here the group
of cars moved on the Leslie
Combs' Spendthrift Farm, where
Nasi ma, one of the most famous
Thoroughbreds of ajl time, was
shown to the students. Spendthrift boasts a total of 38 stallions, including such famous-nam- e
Thoroughbreds as Callant
Man, Bald Eagle, Dark Star,
Fleet Nasrullah, Jaipur, Never
Bend and Raise a Native. Dark
Star was the Kentucky Derby
winner who beat Native Dancer.

Samuel D. Riddle, owner of
Man o War, bequeathed two-an- d
one-ha- lf
acres of what was then
his Faraway Farm to the Lexington Chamber of Commerce
and Fayette County, for a Man
o' War Memorial Park. It is
in this roadside park, off Hoffman
Pike, that the Man o' War statue
can be seen.

Fears Of Black Power
The mayor stood on top of the
police car and pleaded with the
crowd to listen.
Ivan Allen, Jr. wanted to avoid
rioting in Atlanta.
"Let's sit down and talk this
thing out peaceably," he yelled
to the crowd. Few listened.
"I'm going to walk up Capitol
Avenue to the stadium," the silver-haire- d
mayor said. "Follow me
and we'll talk this out." No one
moved.
Then a
Negro youth
climbed to the top of the car and,
waving his finger in the mayor's
face, yelled "black power." The
crowd joined in the chant and
began rocking the car. Bottles were
thrown, shots were fired, and
several youths were arrested by
police.
It was the nearest Atlanta had
come to serious racial trouble in
some time. The city, which has
a
reputation of dealing
intelligently with racial matters,
is troubled.
Leaders of the White Establishment, who have backed Allen in
his attempts to give justice to all
of Atlanta's citizens, are fearful
of the black power chant of SNCC,

Selectivity?
Unquestionably, the establishment of a magazine stand in the
Student Center is an addition long
overdue. However, the operation is
being handled under a dubious
philosophy: sell what the majority
want and nothing else.
If this were strictly a commercial operation, the policy might be
'justified. But, hopefully, the purpose of the rack will be to expose
and make quality reading material
available to University students
and faculty.
The majority of material being
sold now is of a somewhat superficial nature. Students desiring to
read such magazines as The New
Republic, The National Review,
Harpers, Atlantic, or The New
Yorker, to mention only a few,
receive little benefit from the Student Center rack.
Members of the University community should be encouraged to
read magazines with a little more
depth than Mad.

lanta's Dr. Martin Luther King
among them, are afraid that the
chants of the young militants might
undo the work of a generation.
We share this fear.
We recognize the injustice and
frustration
that has led
the
Carmichael and his followers to
believe their strength lies in "black
power" as opposed to open cooperation with the white community.
White leaders generally have
been slow and reluctant to grant
full citizenship to Negroes. Many
of them have taken the view that
the Negro must earn his right to
citizenship rather than being born
with it as was his white brother.
The frustration of a little freedom, slowly and reluctantly granted is an exceedingly heavy load for
d
the
Negro youth
to bear.
So it is with some understanding
that we listen to the black power
call.
And yet we are troubled when
we see the finger of black power
pointed at an official who has
always done his best for the Negro
and who, at the moment of trouble,
was pleading for reason and responsible conversation.
The Civil Rights Bill is being
considered before the Senate this
week and all the signs indicate
that it will be dropped or largely
cut apart.
The Southern block of Russell
and Thurmond and the rest will
win this round, the commentators
say, because there is no real backing
for the bill from among the civil
rights groups who say it is "weak"
and "not enough."
We are as anxious as the young
activist-orientate-

militants to see

first-cla-

ss

citizen-

ship granted to all Americans, and
we long for the day when all of
the social and economic barriers
will have crumbled.
Yet we ask from these Negroes
the super-huma- n
task that they
follow the advice of Dr. King in
seeking neither "black power" nor
"white power, but "human pow-

er."
The

white

community

must

understand the frustration that is
at the heart of the cry for black
power and the young militants
must realize the harm to their
own cause this slogan can do.
For the true
problems lies in
of both groups
a goal that is still

solution to the
the cooperation
toward reaching
far from won.

The Flat Earth Society
With a lot of speculation about
government withholding or distorting news these days, you'd think
that everyone would be baffled
about what is going on. But no,
not everyone is affected. Take the
good old International Flat Earth
Society, for instance. You can't
fool them.
The New York Times reports
that a picture of a round earth
taken by the U.S. Lunar Orbiter
was shown to the society's secretary. Obviously a plot to dispel
any deviation from the popular
image of the shape of the earth,
it almost suceeded. "I confess that
it really knocked me," Samuel
Shenton, secretary, said. "It was
a terrible shock."
But, to his credit, Mr. Shenton
quickly recognized the picture to be
"probably one of the nonluminous
bodies between us and the moon."

Good eye there, blimey. You've
restored our faith in stickto-it-ivenesWe have to admit, we
probably would have been fooled
ourselves.
s.

Keep proclaiming your theory,

that the earth is flat and motionless at the bottom of a huge pit,
at the top of which the sun, and
the moon each about 32 miles
across are whizzing about. While
we may not exactly hold with this
theory, we certainly encourage you
to question the earth's shape or
anything else bugging society.
In fact, we are compelled to
admit that we admire your convictions. You and your 24 other
members are displaying a courage
of convictions rare in today's
world flat or round, whichever it
be.
Keep a stiff upper lip.

Ve rwoerd Killing Shows Deep Inner Logic

By JOSEPH KRAFT
WASHINGTON
Superficially the assassination of Prime
Minister Hcndrik F. Verwoerd
of South Africa looks to be a
random act, senseless in genesis
and without general significance.
In fact, the killing has a deep
inner logic.

-

It underlines, as does, by no
coincidence, the current meeting
of commonwealth countries in
London, the desperate choices
now shaping up in the matter
of African race relations. And it
is against that background that
the United States should be
thinking about the African role,
so much avoided in the last
few years, which it must begin
to play again.
Crudely stated, the race problem in Africa is the problem of
relations between a majority of
poor and backward blacks and
a minority of dynamic whites.
Two different approaches to the
problem present themselves.

First, there

is

the approach

of the territories south of the
Zambesi River Portuguese Africa, Southern Rhodesia and the
Union of South Africa. Here the
whites have fortified their economic advantages by authoritarian regimes that have as their
chief purpose the exclusion of
the black majority from even a
gradual approach to political
power.
Secondly, there is the approach of the East African cou-

ntriesZambia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. These countries
comare examples of multi-racimunities in action. The whites
have retained their economic advantages while political power
has passed slowly, and in democratic fashion, to black regimes.
As between these two patterns, there is, if only on practical grounds, no real choice. The
maintenance of w hite supremacy
generates manifest inhumanities,
patterns of rigid constraint, ac- -

cretion of power to irresponsible
police types, and tension among
racial groups.

Not
regimes
surprisingly,
based on racial supremacy however tough they may appear from
the outside, have no organic
strength. They arc so stiff and
tense that they can be toppled
by a single crazy act. And the

nation

is

Outsiders, in these circumstances, can only seek to promote a smooth transition from
racial to multi-racicommunities. To that end, the chief outsider, Britain, has through the
commonwealth sought to act as
a bridge between the countries
south of the Zambesi and the
East Africans. The United States,
by moving to foster better economic conditions in both areas,
has backed up Britain.
But it is now apparent that
policy has
failed. The commonwealth is
splitting apart because it has
done nothing to arrest the effort

this

even-hande-

d

of the whites of Southern Hho-desi-a
to establish their political
supremacy in perpetuity. As to
prosperity fed by American investment, it has yielded in the
Union of South Africa not an
easing of tension but a tightening
of racial restrictions.

The appropriate reaction to
this failure is to move toward
a policy that oenly discriminates in favor of the
l
communities in East Africa. As
a first step in that direction,
this country should begin to disengage south of the Zambesi.
Private investment there should

interested nations, notably Britain and Canada.

The Central African Fact, in
sum, is that extending the hand
of friendship totl le w hite regimes
docs not improve racial conditions. Concentrating on the
multi-racia-

now be discouraged. If only to
get the message across even more
strongly, no opportunity should
be lost to vote against the regimes of South Africa, Southern
Rhodesia and Portuguese Africa
at the United Nations.
More important, the United
States should now move activelymuch more actively than
it has to date to give economic
resupport to the multi-racigimes in Zambia, Tanzania,
Uganda, and Kenya. This assistance should concentrate on projects that promote regional coh-

inquiry for methods of approach for the solution or analysis of a case

Set two signs on our city's terrace of my taxed property to match
the contempt of others already doing it. My signs were removed by the
street and alley dept. on orders of the police dept. There is no record
of the acts in either dept. Only verbal assurances. My signs were remade and reset (with more public information) in my yards. Received
a letter from City Attorney Frank Curran on his action if sign was not
changed. Later Frank Curran resigned as City Attorney. Sent a letter
to attorney Frank Curran asking information on who ordered or comAsplained for his letter. Received no reply. Sent a letter to County
