By LEE BECKER
Although it is not certain
now who will be living in Wildcat Manor and Kitten Lodge next
year, the football team is one
group that definitely will not
be there.
Starting next Fall the football players will be living in
the dormitories as other athletes
do now.
According to Robert L. Johnson, vice president for student
affairs, the move has been in
the works since plans for the
new complex were first drawn
up. It was originally scheduled
for this past Fall, but, due to
the lack of adequate dining fa-

cilities, was postponed.
"It is a part of the move
throughout the University to
bring athletes closer to the rest
of campus," Mr. Johnson said.
The trend among universities
has been either to keep athletes
entirely separate from the rest
of campus, he said, or move
them together.
The decision to bring them
into the mainstream of campus
life represents the recognition
of the need to "pull together
so many facets of the student
affairs area, and bring them into
something that makes sense,"
he said.
The university has not decided completely what is to 1m?

the "immorality" of the Vietnam war in
the past decided to unite into one organiza-

tion Sunday for the purpose of "educating"
the campus about the war.
will be inThe fact that
volved in the organization raises the question
of
involvement in campus
politics.
Robert L. Johnson, vice president for
student affairs, was out of town and unavailable for comment on the issue of persons participating in campus political affairs who are not affiliated with the Uninon-studen- ts

non-stude-

versity.
He is expected to return late Thursday
and a statement of policy on the issue should
be forthcoming, his office said. However,
if previous experience is any indication the
vice president may approve of Lexingtonians
not affiliated with UK participating in this
phase of campus politics.
Representatives from local Democratic
and Republican campaign committees have

solicited aid from students in past Fayette
County races.
The Citizens For Peace in Vietnam, the
newly formed group, has set forth a
program for the remainder of the
semester. The organization will provide for
a "Vietnam Peace Research Center" which
will be housed at the Presbyterian Center
on Rose Street.
Don Pratt, a member of the University
Christian Movement, said the research center
will contain books, articles, govemmentdoc-umentand a film catalogue on national
foreign policy and the general subject of
peace in Vietnam.
Pratt said the center will be open to
any interested persons.
The organization also plans to hold a
weekley peace vigil in front of the Administration building or "some other central
place on campus" according to Mrs. Lawrence
X. Tarpey, chairwoman of the peace vigil
committee. Mrs. Tarpey said she consulted

cities at present, including Louisville and
Cincinnati.
She said her committee would meet Wednesday at noon to decide on a time, place,
and a day to start the weekly event. Pratt
said the organization will "disseminate an
article entitled "Clergymen's Dilema" to
every Lexington minister for his comment
and criticism.
Pratt stated that the organization "will

He also stated that the group is constructing a questionnaire to be distributed
to the student body to "determine the views

House's Draft Panel
Submits Its Report
Continurd From Page
split over the issue of student
deferments and did not reach a
final decision until the end of
January.
The commission's report is
now in the White House.
On Nov. 1, the Armed Services Committee, headed byRep.
1

L. Mendel Rivers,
appointed its own study commission
composed of Clark and seven
other members.
This move was interpreted
by some congressmen as a means
of exerting congressional independence by providing the comD-S.-

mittee with the basis for reporting a draft bill substantially different from that recommended by
the White House.
A summary of the panel's recommendations was released Monday and Mr. Rivers said the full
text would be made public in
a few days. It is expected to provide the basis for hearings the
committee will hold on the draft
in the near future.
Although the panel recommended some basic changes, the
report was essentially an endorsement of the "generally philosophy of the present Selective
Service Act," according to the
committee summary.
Under the current system,
youths below the age of 26 who
are in
have been classified
principle drafted in the order of
their birth date, with the oldest
A

first.

The panel recommended that
instead of selecting the oldest
men first, local draft boards would
first attempt to satisfy monthly
draft quotas by ordering for induction
registrants who are
in the 19 to 20 age group.
"Older
registrants would
continue to be liable for induction until age 26 but at a considerably reduced priority," the
A

reports said.
All bona-fid- e
students of institutions of higher learning would
continue to be deferred as long
as they remained in good standing
"until either receipt of their undergraduate degree or the attainment of age 24, whichever occurs
earlier. Deferred students would
then revert to the
pool for
induction on the same basis as
their younger contemporaries
then in the 0
age group."
In other words, the graduating
college students would be subject to the "same hazards of
exposure to induction as their
younger contemporaries."
Furthermore, once deferred as
a student, the registrant would
forfeit any chance, except extreme hardship, for further deferments on other grounds, such as
A

19-2-

marriage and fatherhood. This
provision, the panel said, would
keep young men from parlaying
college deferments into a lifetime
exemption from military service.
Student deferments, the panel
said, would not be continued for
students except for
those training for occupations
judged to be "critical to the national security."
The panel rejected the idea of
a national service system that
would equate work in humanitarian organizations with military
duty.

"Several fraternities who are
living in older houses have expressed interest in moving into
one of the buildings if they become available," he said.
"Everybody will be considered and judged on the merits
of the case."
"VVc really haven't discussed
it yet," Mr. Johnson said, "but
a decision will be made in the
next few weeks."
According to Kenneth
assistant dean of men,
between four and six fraternities
will be seeking consideration
when the decision is made.
When contacted, the eight
fraternities not now living in
close proximity to campus were
restrained in their response to

the matter.
Except in the case of Delta
Tau Delta, all said that they
knew of the opening, but most
felt unqualified to make a definite statement about their position.
Charlie Ben Ashby, president
of Delta Tau Delta, said that
his fraternity would definitely
not be interested in the two
houses since they possess enough
land to expand if needed in the
future.
Mr. Brandenburgh said that
it would be unlikely that Zeta
Beta Tau, living in the leased
Sigma Nu house, would be interested in the houses since they
have recently extended their lease
for another year.

Cooperstown will be given back to married couples and graduate students this fall when the new dormitory complex is com-

plete.
That is, if strikes, and other acts of God do not interfere with
the completion of the two towers.
Definite plans have also been made to refurbish all the departments in Cooperstown, even if the complex is not completed in
time.
New occupants in Cooperstown in the fall can look forward
to newly painted rooms with new furniture. New stoves and refrigerators will also be installed to replace the ones that have
been there ever since Cooperstown was built.
The cost of redecorating Cooperstown is set at around $441,000,
which will come from the auxiliary service fund, and not increased rent rates.
At the present time Cooperstown C houses 45 couples, and
Building A, 40 couples. Single students occupy the rest of the
project.
The new complex's two 22 story towers will house over 600
students apiece.
Some interesting rumors have been going around concerning
the complex but officials are quick to refute them. The top floors
of the towers will not contain faculty penthouses, nor will one
tower house all the athletes. The entire complex will consist of
double rooms and only single students will be housed there.
Students desiring to live with a "view from the top" can
indicate il when they apply for campus housing, said Mrs. Jean
Lindley of the housing office.

According to Mr. Brandenburgh, it would be possible for
Sigma Nu to return to campus
"tomorrow" as far as the University was concerned, since they
were disciplined by their national, and not the campus.
It seems unlikely that this

of the lease.
Coach Charlie Bradshaw,
when questioned, said that he
did not think the players living

put the responsibility on the organizations that is necessary."
One of the major changes in
the reixirt, which deals with organizations, is the addition of
"lesser punishments." As suggested by the committee theonly
punishment would have been loss
of organization registration a
prerequisite for an organization's
existence on campus.

Actually, the amendment providing lesser punishments, proposed by committee member Dr.
Michael Adelstein, came in response to an earlier amendment
which would have caused organizations to lose registration for a
first instance of "disorderly conduct" or "poor academic performance of an organization."
As originally proposed by the
committee, the offenses were
"prolonged disorderly conduct"
and "prolonged poor academic
performance," but an amendment of Dr. VV. E. Krogdahl,
professor of mathematics and astronomy, eliminated the word
"prolonged."
Arguing against the term "prolonged," Dr. Krogdahl said, "an
ordinary citizen is not made liable
when offenses are prolonged."
Neither should organization's offenses need be prolonged before
action is taken, he said.
amendment therefore
The
makes one act of disorderly conduct of poor academic performance cause for discipline.
Arguing that loss of registrationin effect termination or an
organization's campus life is too
drastic for one single occasion
of misconduct, Dr. Adelstein
championed the amendment for
lesser punishments.

However, lesser punishments
for organizations are not spelled
out in the report seemingly incongruous with the rest of the
report which delineates all crimes

and punishments.
Another amendment proposed
by Dr. Krogdahl will require any
organization intending to picket
or demonstrate to inform the vice
president for student affairs of
the time, place, and purpose of
the demonstration within 24
hours prior to its happening.
The amendment changed a
parenthetical suggestion that
asked any organization intending
to picket to inform the University
authorities of the time and place.
As enacted by the Senate, the
report now requires notification
of time and place, plus the purpose of the demonstration.
Explained by Dr. Krogdahl,
the amendment is intended to
prepare the Administration of
possible volatile reactions . to

demonstrations

depending

and thus allowing the Administration better to
plan protection.
Mr. Flickinger questioned the
of requiring
constitutionality
notification of intent, but the
measure passed.
Interviewed after the Senate
session, Prof. Flickinger continued to question the amendment and said, "I don't think
the University can require notification."
Noting that he is not a constitutional law authority, Mr.
Flickinger said, "I doubt the
University could take action for
failure to comply with tliese regulations . . surely the University
could not prevent a demonstration or pickets if they did not
comply."

significant amendment established a due process
procedure for any organization
which might lose its registration.
Proposed by the committee, the
amendment allows an organization to appeal to the University
president through the University
Another

Appeals Board.
Another amendment

of the

committee requires that faculty
representatives of, and consultants to student organizations be
tenured members of the faculty.
Other offenses for which organizations may be liable are
hazing; interference with activities of the University, of any
other registered organization, or
of an individual except that
peaceful picketing will be permitted so long as it does not
directly inhibit the carrying out
of an activity on University
property.
Another regulation prohibits
any organization to discriminate
"against any person due to race,
color, sex, or religious affiliation
or belief except when the express and legitimate purposes of
the organization require limitation as to sex or religion."
Mr. Flickinger assured the
Senate that the Advisory Committee will serve as a watchdog
committee of the effects of implementation of the committee's
recommendations.

The Burley Question

Last autumn a farmer in Hancock County looked out over his
mellowing tobacco crop keeping an
eye on the weather as he complained about his difficulty in finding help at cutting time. An
aluminum
plant had recently
in the area, and the burley
opened
grower could not meet the wages
his former help was receiving at
the factory.
So it is that each year Kentucky minimum - acerage burley
growers (those with a half acre or
less allotment) face additional problems in making ends meet each
year. These burley growers are facing still another crisis this week in
their decision to adopt or reject
e
a referendum advocating
controls instead of the
present acreage controls.
It appears that, in many respects, the choice has already been
made for these farmers, for as Kentucky Senators John Sherman Cooper and Thruston Morton have
warned, Congress may soon abolish
which would spell
doom to many farmers in the minimum-acreage
category.
As Sen. Cooper stated last week
in Louisville, increased yields have
jumped from 1,640 pounds an acre
in 1960 to nearly 2,300 pounds an
acre for the crop just sold. In other
words, under the present system,
the market is being flooded with
burley, thus lowering prices, and
what will likely result is that the
federal government will cut back on
acreage.
Another problem which develops under the current system is
that farmers in parts of the Commonwealth which have terrain and
climate more suitable for growing
burley than those in other parts
of the state now receive much
greater yields per acre than those
in the poorer growing areas.
If Kentucky minimum-acreag- e
growers continue with the present
acreage system and
are discontinued by the federal government, the burley market will
be wide open, and this will result in the big farmer devouring
the small farmer, and perhaps in
other states stealing Kentucky
"Hurley Capital" production.
As Sen. Cooper stated" . . . acreage controls alone no longer provide
the production control which is
essential to the tobacco price support program. As acreage controls
can no longer meet this situation,
we are in danger of losing our tobacco price support program unless
acreage-poundag-

If the

adopted."
Apparently the only significant
argument opponents to the referendum advocate is that the
e

price-suppo- rt

program is not in danger.
that Sens. Cooper
and Morton have the best interests
of the Commonwealth in mind, and
would not tell of the jeopardy of
the
program unless it
were factual.

We feel, however,

price-suppo- rt

acreage-poundag-

referen-

e

dum is defeated, the proposal cannot be offered again until 1969.
In 1968, burley growers will vote
referendum
in a regular three-yea- r
on whether they want to continue
marketing quotas for the 1968-7- 0
period. In 196-1- burley growers overwhelmingly voted "yes" for this.
But another cut in acreage is certain should growers, in 1967, produce another burley crop the same
size as that of last year, provided
they are still under the present
acreage system. And 1966 was not
even .a good growing season.
This referendum is crucial for
many Kentucky burley growers; it is
our hope that they will adopt the
acreage-poundag- e
system so as to
effect the survival of the small tobacco farmers in our state and to
retain tobacco as one of the Commonwealth's chief money-maker,

Admittedly, the students did
get out of hand, but could student disappointment over the fact
that it was impossible to hear
Pickett and that the ballroom was
overcrowded and hot have contributed to the general confusion?
If so, could poor planning for the
concert possibly have been at the
bottom of the trouble?
