SG voting
held today.

tomorrow

By BRIDGET McFARLAND
Staff Writer

For freshmen, graduate students
and students in the colleges of social
professions and dentistry, today and
tomorrow are election days.

Student Government is holding a
special election to fill vacancies on the
Senate in the two colleges and to elect
freshmen senators for the first time.

The only hitch is that there are no
candidates for the dentistry or social
professions seats. ‘

Lori Fuller, chairman of the special
elections committee and a senator-at-
large. said she believed the College of
Denistry did not have a candidate
because the college has its ‘own
government system. She said any
dental students who want to work in a
student government probably work
within their own system.

Fuller also cited the distance of the
college from central campus and the
work load of dentistry students as
possible reasons for the lack of a
candidate. No one was elected from
Dentistry in 80‘s spring election
because no one ran.

Dentistry students may vote in the
special election by writing in
candidates.

Fuller said she did not know why the
College of Social Professions did not
have a formal candidate. though she
said she believed someone was running
as a write-in candidate. The social
professions senator elected last spring
was purged from the Senate for not
attending meetings and for being a
part-time student.

Re volutionary words,
acts may not match

By JACK WAINWRIGHT
Staff Writer

The words of revolutionaries are
often of no more value than the breath
they‘re spoken with. according to the
deputy director of the State
Department office of United Nations
political affairs.

People must distinguish between
liberation rhetoric and facts. Thomas
Niles said.

“Rhetoric must be taken with a
grain of salt." he said.

Niles and George Mitchell. aide to
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance. are
taking part in a Patterson School of
Diplomacy symposium entitled “US.
Policy in Africa.“ The symposium is
currently in its fourth day.

Niles said that once liberation takes
place. a country‘s policy is often
different from earlier revolutionary
statements. As an example. he cited
Angola.

“Angola now wants the Portuguese
who fled to come back because they
realize that these people make the

economy work.“ he said.

According to Mitchell. relations
with emerging nations are often a
matter of determining a policy and
sticking with it. despite rhetorical
statements from the new countries.
“We take a chosen path and then call
their bluff.“ he said.

For example. newly formed African

reason for this. she said. was
television. which produced a
generation that saw “ history being
made before it is censored by their
elders."

A writer once dubbed her “
grandmother of us all." and that
description was endorsed by Edward
J. Lehman. executive director of the
American Anthropological Associa-
tion. which was meeting in Los
Angeles when she died.

“Margaret‘s death is a loss not only

nations. Mitchell said. shouldn‘t be
judged according to their prior
ideologies. “When new countries are
formed. they are looking for things
that work rather than ideals.“ he said.

Niles noted that Africa's problems
can‘t be seen as capitalism versus
communism. “Africa is not like
Europe where problems can be defined ‘
as East against West.“ he said.

“The USSR. Cuba and China can
only offer assistance until a country is
liberated.“ he said. "When it comes to
answers on how to get the country on
it‘s feet economically. we (the United
States and Western nations) have the
answers.“ '

Niles also spoke of a recent
controversy involving Africa and the

United States. in which the
government granted an entry visa to
South African Prime Minister Ian
Smith. The United Nations and most
African nations were opposed to the
visit.

According to Niles. it was a mistake
to grant Smith a visa. “It was the
opinion of my office (that we concur
with) UN feelings about who visas
should be granted to.“ he said. “Only
time will tell how the Smith visit aided
or hurt the South African situation."

Mitchell said it would take a long
time before the ramifications of the
visit are realized but it would probably
prove to be a mistake. “Smith came
and made his point and got no more

to anthropology. but to science in
general; not only to US. society. but
to the world. She's irreplaceable."said
Lehman.

Popularizing anthropology was
among her major achievements w“
mass education of the very best kind."
said Robert Murphy. a Columbia
University anthropologist and former
department chairman.

“She pioneered two important
fields. being the first to take a cross-
cultural look at childhood and the role
of culture in shaping personality." he
said. “In I949. she wrote ‘Male and

backing than he had before.“ he said.
But. he added. Smith‘s visit made his
viewpoint clearer to the American

- people.

In the Middle East

About the Middle East peace
negotiations. Mitchell said both short-
and long-term implications of the

negotiations need to be recognized.
During the period immediately
following a Middle East peace treaty-
there may be some continued tumoil.
he said. “but the focus needs to be on
the nature of peace forthe Arab world.
which will become evident."

Niles said that in the Middle East. as
in Africa. people must distinguish
between the rhetoric and the facts.
“The rhetoric will be tough at first but
then the Arabs will realize their
inability to change the peace (between
Israel and Egypt)." he said.

The United Arab Emirates will not
withdraw their support in Egypt. Niles
said. because they don‘t want a radical
government in Cairo. “Egypt is
essentially the center of the Arab
world and is important." he added.

Niles cited a difference between
what the Arabs have said they will do
and the actions they have taken. “At
the summit. the talk centered around
putting the screws on Sadat. but they
haven‘t withdrawn support and I don‘t
think they will.“ he said.

Today's 86 special elections
reflect how attitudes change

Student Government got a big'response when it
expanded the Student Senate to include two
freshmen representatives. who will be chosen in
elections today and tomorrow. Sixteen candidates
entered the race, a level of participation that's
usually higher than the number of votes in some 50

races.

The level of interest wasn‘t as high as for the
freshman seats. though. The Dentistry and Social
Professions races didn‘t attract a single candidate.
Perhaps interest wanes and cynicism grows as
students hang around here longer. Maybe this year‘s
addition of freshman will help develop a longer-

lasting pattern of involvement.

The Senate needed to have freshman

representation. After all, first-year students make
up the largest class at UK. It‘s possible that the
candidates aren‘t very familiar with UK or campus
issues. and that voters aren‘t very familiar with the

candidates.

But much of the voting in SG contests is already
dependent on the personal popularity or social
affiliation of the candidates. Extendingthe electoral
system to include freshmen can‘t either hurt or
change things much. Let‘s wish the freshman class
good luck in selecting candidates who are interested
in working wit h SG, and who have sincere stands on

issues.

The freshman senator elections aren‘t the only 80
contests today and tomorrow. Senators will also be
elected from the colleges of Dentistry and Social
Professions and the graduate school.

There was a forum for the

Unfortunately. none of the electors in
the race I am in were present, not even
my opponent. I repeat the remarks
that I had prepared.

My name is Vincent Yeh and I am
running for Graduate School Senator.
The significance of the Graduate
School race lies not in the question of

' who will win, but in the fact that

someone is running. A Graduate
School representative is desirable in
order to prevent SO, in its wish to
serve students, from inadvertently
doing a disservice to graduate
students.

Many of us graduate students are
instructors as well as students.
Changes in policy concerning
drop/adds, teacher evaluation, and
grading affect us in both roles. While
some proposed changes may benefit us
as students, they may also make it
difficult for some of us to carry out our
responsibility as teachers. To prevent
the SG from accidentally
recommending policy affecting us
adversely is a function of the Graduate
School Senator. With this in mind. I

Next: Brothers

Maybe (Sue) Teeter could write a
story on the Little Brothers programs
at U K. As you know the little brothers
join the sororities as practically full-
fledged members with their own
constitutions and bylaws. The little
brothers(one of whom, ha, ha, said he
joined to find a wife) help make beds
do general cleaning, have parties. and
are often members of established
fraternities. It is an old tradition. the
sororities even pay for one of the three
nights of little brother rush.

Teeter wrote a fine story about the
little sisters( Kernel. Nov. 2) and all the
commotion about the sisters‘ program
being some kind of sexist rip~off for
the less wealthy and less intelligent is
getting the little brothers worried, I‘m
sure.

I never knew too much about the

little sisters until Teeter wrote the story
and all the folks wrote letters in reply. I
hope Teeter will do as good a story on
the little brothers. They make their
contribution to and derive benefit
from Greek life as well.

Broadus’ thanks

I want to thank the community for

having given me the opportunity for'
twelve years in which to attempt to

influence educational decision-
making for our children and for us.

Thanks to the many good friends
and supporters who worked so hard
and so well in behalf ofwhat we believe
to be the direction we should move in
._ a direction we believe is fairness to
all people.

Public education is under severe
attack from several different fronts.
Survival of the public schools is vital
to the development and improvement
of American ideals of equality and
justice for all.

During my last days on the Board of
Education, I expect to continue using
my highly treasured and privileged
office to do the things I believe need
doing. I hope especially to get some
movement on decentralization. so we
can move the schools closer to the
people. It is essential that citizens be
allowede to have influence in some of
the policy decisions at the local school.

I expect to continue my work as
teacher, dedicated educator. and
deeply concerned citizen of our local
and world community.

And I do expect to continue to offer
some ideas for further consideration.

Back to the '20s
New style parties

may not be so new

I was talking with a friend of mine a
few weeks ago and he said something
that really nabbed my attention. The-
subject was leisure time and its various
effects and affects and we arrived
somewhere along the line at the subject
of parties.

Specifically, my friend was pointing
out that he discerned a shift in the
meaning of the word “party." and he

 

john cooke

 

wasn‘t happy about it. He said that the
word was now being used as a verb and
this new meaning was indicative of this
faceless decade with its anti-
intellcctual and narcissistic ambiance.

Well. we batted this concept around
for a while and drew quite a crowd. It‘s
not everyday you get to see two grown
men flailing their arms around at
abstractions.

l was sober at the time, and some
vestiges of our conversation made it
home with me. I took out the old
collegiate dictionary and found no
mention of “party“ as a verb. 1 was
ecstatic and my heart swelled with
anticipation. I could see it all
unfolding, national acclaim as I put

forth my treatise that this shift in'

syntactical function alluded to vast
sociological undercurrents yet
uncharted.

As an afterthought. I checked the
unabridged dictionary and sure
'enough. there was “party" as a verb
with a reference. though obsolete.
back to I630.

Well. I admit it. that angle stifled
like a blind man directing traffic and in
a way I am relieved. The approach was
far too stuffy and l was finding it
difficult to insert my "T h A“ jokes.

Now I can dump this and grovel
around in the vernacular again.

The word “party" is important now
whether you use it as verb. noun.
adjective or fish. The practice of
partying, no matter What the Webster
boys say. seems to have changed in the
recent past and the meaning of the
word takes in a much- wider range of
social gatherings.

Today, three sloppy drunks sitting
around the tube in the dark and dank
room whooping at Charlie's Angels
constitutes a party and I don‘t know if
people l5 years ago would agree with
that.

Now don‘t misunderstand me. lam
not saying that I think that we should
eliminate “party“ from the English
language or that the group of activities
that we call “parties" should be
removed from our society. Call it
anything you want. there will still be
the party.

What I am saying is that I sense a

-change. It is hard to pin it down but

you can see the results and they are not
at all subtle. In this time of reductive
outlooks, it doesn‘t matter who shows
up for your party, just so long as
someone shows up. It‘s stimulus for
stimulus sake.

Is this attitude relay so different? I
don‘t think so. A quick look at the
Twenties provides some chilling
parallels and a look at the Thirties
alludes to some pleasant conse-
quences.

F. Scott Fitzgerald spoke of the
Twenties as a tints when alcohol was
substituted for tired blood. and l
believe that really hits a nerve in the
Seventies. The difference between the
Jazz Age and the Me. Quick!
generation is that now the stakes are
much higher.
