By MARY ANN DACIIMANN

Kernel Staff Writer
One of the nation' leading pro-wadvocates, Republican Sen. John Tower
of Texas, spoke last night in the Crand
Ballroom.
In comments largely determined by
questions from the audience, he said
that the U.S. is "trying to defend the
world against the aggressive designs" of
the Soviet government.
Americans have "got to be pragmatic
and realistic if we're to survive," the
senator said.
On the Vietnam war, Sen. Tower
said that "most of the U.S. ground com

bat forces will be out of South Vietnam
by the end of next year."
"Only residual air and naval forces
performing certain things the South Vietnamese can't do" will remain, he said.
Victory A Coal?
Sen. Tower was quoted as writing in
a 1962 book that the goal of U.S. foreign
policy should be a "victory over communism."
When asked if he still agreed with
this statement, the senator said that the
U.S. foreign policy goal should be "not
overcoming, but simply arresting the imperialistic expansion of the Communist
empire."
Before the talk, UK's Committee on

Militarism had distributed an open letter
to the audience. The letter questioned,
among other things, the ambiguityof U.S.

Release Procedure Changed;
Singletary Must Approve
By S.M. WINES
Assistant Managing Editor
President Otis Singletary said
yesterday that any future releases of class rosters to external
including the FBI-w- ill
agencies
be made only with prior
approval by the Office of the
President or "his designated re
present ative."
In a press release issued Thursday afternoon, Singletary said the
new procedures for the release of
student records "should in no
way be construed as a criticism
of the actions of the Student
Affairs staff in the present case."
It was the Office of the Dean
of Students which released a
class roster from Dr. Gene Mason's Political Science 300 course
to FBI agents. President Singletary reportedly was not consulted before the release was made.
Administration Under Attack
In the ensuing controversy,
the administration came under
attack after Dean of Students
Jack Hall and Vice President for
Student Affairs Robert Zumwin-kl- e
defended the action as "in
the interest of protecting members of the University community
against possible serious physical

harm."

Yesterday, Singletary again
defended the actions of the Student Affairs staff as he outlined
the new procedures.
"The statues of the Commonwealth of Kentucky insuring the
confidentiality of student records
contain a specific exception requiring the release of such records to duly constituted law enforcement agencies," Singletary's
statement said.
Comply With Statutes
. ''These statues must, and will,
j
be' complied with by the Univer-

sity."

The press statement was
drawn up Tuesday morning in a
meeting of the president and
members of his cabinet with the
University Student Advisory
Committee (USAC). Later it was
indicated that students had press-ed during the meeting for an
addition to the statement stating
that professors would be notified
if their classes were investigated.
"I assumed he was going to
include that in the release," one
student said, "but I guess he
changed his mind."
Present Kentucky law states
that all records" of public education institutions are public information. A new law, passed

A complaint has been filed
with the Student Government
Election Board that the Student
Coalition Party (SCP) has violated the rules for running for
Student Covemment.

The complaint, filed by Willie
Gates, Whitney Hardy, Tim
Guilfoile and William Desanctis,
says that "On Nov. 5, 1970 and
November 12, 1970, the Student
Coalition Part for the purpose
of promoting its candidates individually and collectively, secured a total of GO column-inche- s
of advertising in the Kentucky
Wildcat newspaper. The retail
value of this advertising was approximately $102."
"The Student Coalition Party,
for the purpose of promoting its
candidates individually and collectively, has purchased large
quantities of posters and bumper
stickers having a retail value in
excess of the legal maximum,"
the petition continues.
"Wherefore, plaintiffs pray
that this board (SC Election
Board) disqualify the Student
Coalition Party and all of its
candidates from participating in
the Student Government elections, from appearing on the
ballot and from qualifying as
write-icandidates," the
plaint concludes.

Small gestures on Jory's part

He starts to throw a match on

She does a couple of comedic

on her role as a middle-agerural matron.

Lexington's Perverse Priorities

Our community leaders have been actively at work in recent days
with programs to stop the evils rampant among local youths. The most
outstanding program offered is that sponsored by VVBKY TV and its
sister radio station VWLK in which anyone offering information leading
to the arrest and conviction of a user or pusher of drugs would be given
$100.

This program is illustrative of the perverse priorities of our community. With one of the highest per capita crime rates in the nation,
with incredible sanitation problems, with blatantly corrupt local
politicans, with a backward education system and a repressive governmental structure, our civic leaders are waging an all-ocampaign
against what they consider "vice".
Perhaps marijuana, its users and pushers, do constitute a problem.
Evidence suggests the only apparent problem is not with the drug itself, but with the reaction of the community to it. But even supposing
the evil weed constitutes a problem, would it not be more appropriate
d
for the community to first work toward the elimination of
ones?

Would not a better system of priorities be that which provides us
first with health and safety? When we are all free from the threat of
violent crimes perhaps we could debate the matter of cracking down on
the individual who has decided for himself to become involved in a
action.

... Backfiring Programs

The time has come to congratulate the local police force and the
Jaycees for the initiation of a drastic new program. Although, our inwe understand our civic officers are working
formation is second-hanin cooperation with the National Rifle Association to train younsters
in the proper use of firearms.
This certainly represents a step forward in the continuing fight against
"law and order." Unless our education system changes greatly in the
next few years, it is inevitable that these kids will soon come to realize
the sorry state or the system they are entering. Unless new channels
are opened for the youngsters, it is inevitable they will feel the crush
of repression experienced by their older brothers today.
The new program may serve to even things out a bit, for the future
revolutionaries will be better equipped to carry out the revolution if
.trained in the accurate use of firearms.

Abuse of Bright, SG
To the Editor
I would like, if I may, to come to the
defense of our Student Government (whose

members and leaders
haven't the time to defend themselves)
hard-workin-

g

in response to the recent attacks which
have been brought upon it by the Student
Coalition in its publication, The Kentucky

Wildcat
First, there was the attempt to place

the blame upon Student Covemment for
the increase in room and board costs. For
the benefit of the accusors, let it be known
that inflation is a national problem, caused
by excessive Federal spending and the
costs of fighting a war. At present, the
.solution to these problems is not quite
entirely within the powers of SCI My
advice is that the Coalition take its gripe
to the proper place, the U.S. Capitol,
and that the Wildcat Editorial Page Editor enroll in "Principles of Economics"
next semester.
Next, there was the accusation of misuse of Student Covemment funds. The
Wildcat charges that only five percent
of the Student Government's $3000 expenditures benefited the student body "in any
way" and that "there are no funds available for UK student organizations." Let
me point out that if SG donated the entire $3000 directly to the student body,
it would amount to less than twenty
cents per student. The value of services
that SC provides for students is worth
many times that. One example is the
Health Insurance Plan. Another is the
telephone directory (however controversial). Even now, SG is planning a student
program which could save
each student from ten to fifteen dollars
per semester. Need I go further? .
It speaks well for SG President Steve
Bright that, even though subjected to
abusive language and blatant misconstructions from the Student Coalition, he has
gone diligently about serving UK students,
rather inan submitting to the Coalition's
foolish demands or neglecting his work
to fight back. Meanwhile, the Coalition
and Wildcat have continued their undiplomatic assault upon him and Student Government on "political" grounds. The issue, however, is not "Left or Right;" it
is the constructive work being put forth
by Steve Bright and other dedicated SC
representatives in the interest of UK students versus the
criticisms of a bitter, trouble-makingroup
designed for its own selfish gain.
Every person is entitled to the free
evpression of his political views, but he
must learn to tolerate the ideas of others.
In practice, he must first learn to work
within the governmental system, not
against it.
I see in the Wildcat that the Student
Coalition supports the UK football team,
win or lose. Why can't it do the same
for our Student Covemment?

To the Editor:
In the upcoming Student Covemment
elections, the most controversial S.C. represent ative, James Douglas MacAurthur
Williams, is up for
Mr. Williams' impressive record includes being the most productive member of the assembly having introduced
many times more bills, resolutions and
directives (each written with his Complex
constituency in mind) than any other
assemblyman. Representative Williams'
now famous antics have served to awaken
a sleeping assembly to the problems and
needs of the donn students he is the

spark plug of the current Student Government.
During his short term in office Mr.
Williams has tirelessly fought repression
of dorm representatives in the assembly;
he has fought censorship in our campus
newspaper and has proved he is not
afraid to support America and what it
stands for.
For these reasons, we of the Free Soil
Party pledge our full support in Mr.
Williams efforts to return to the S.C.
assembly with a true mandate a mandate which will constitute a demand by
the dorm students to be heard!
