The period of grace for the
repayment of loans has been
shortened, Davis explained. Previously the borrower was allowed
a year after graduation to repay
his loan before any interest was
accrued. That time has been
shortened to nine months. After
that time simple interest at three

in the rural homelands of their
tribes, it was argued.
Periodically, Africans would
offer interpretations of the theory
that laid a heavier emphasis
on improvement of the lot of
the blacks than Verwoerd was
prepared to make. They were
always quickly slapped down.
Verwoerd never tried to explain away his belief in apast-hei- d
with niceties. He referred
to South Africa as the "foremost white supremacist nation
in the world" and felt he had
support for his actions in the
teachings of his church, the
Dutch Reformed.

Thejustice minister is viewed
by many as a leader of the exelement in
treme right-win- g
South Africa. Dr. Vandenbosh
said Vorster was believed to have
pro-Naleanings during World
War II and that he was jailed
by the government of Prime Minister Jan Smuts.
Dr. Vandenbosh said that the
election of Vorster might mean
even more repressive actions
against the opposition in South
Africa and that the apartheid
line might be strengthened still
more.

University Associate Registrar
Hubert S. Larson said the University would mail out student
enrollment records to the State
Selective Service Board "in the
week of Sept. 20." The state
board will then redistribute the
records to local boards.
Becords were mailed directly
from the University to Local
Boards last spring to reducedel.iy
in continuations.
However, Larson said, the
University was unable to keep a
record of student select iv e scrv ice
numbers for reference and thus
went back to the system used
this year.

DR. AMRY VANDENBOSCH

The Associated Pre ssq noted
an Anglican bishop in London
who predicted that just such
a "hardening of the process of

apartheid" would follow
death.
The Rt. Rev. C. Edward
Crowther, bishop of Kimberly
and Kuruman, said, "I also
imagine there will be considerable hauling in of people under
political suspicion."
Bishop Crowther predicted
that Vorster would succeed

Vero-werd- 's

Verwoerd.
However, Dr. Vandenbosh
said, Vorster might be a liability as head of the government
since he is not popular with the
English-speakin- g
people who
have only recently moved into
the Nationalist Party. "I'm not
certain," he said, "whether
Vorster s election could drive
these people to the opposition
or not, but he would repel many
English-speakin-

people."

Dr. Vandenbosh said he was
also puzzled by the motives of
the assassin, now identified as

"It is to be devoutly hoped,"
Dr. Vandenbosh said, "that the
man represented the radical right
instead of the radical left."
He noted that one ordinarily
would not expect a Poitugese
to support the black Africans
anil that the assassin might, as
it has suggested in some dispatches, have struck down Verwoerd because heconsidered him
too moderate on apartheid.
That would add a final iiouy
to the life of Hendrik Verwoerd,
Vandenbosh suggested; to have
died at the hands of a man even
more a white supremacist than

* A Doubletake
Until a few days ago, everyone
was sure of the fate of Stoll Field
and McClcan Stadium, but today,
no one knows what to think.
In June, administrative officials,
after seemingly intensive study and
planning, presented to the Board of
Trustees a recommendation that
they be "authorized to undertake
all actions necessary. . .to conduct
physical and financial planning for
a new stadium with the capacity
of approximately 50,000 seats to be
located on approximately 150 acres
of the southernmost portion of Coldstream Farm."
After the meeting, newsmen met
with these officials and were greeted
with maps and plans concerningthe
proposed stadium. One official,
furthermore, estimated the structure could possibly be completed by
1968 "if everything goes according
to plans." Everything sounded so
definite.
Opposition soared. City and
county planners objected to not
being consulted. Businessmen were
afraid of losing customers. City
commissioners offered to help revise
the plans. Police and traffic officials said traffic conditions at the
new site would be "chaotic."
Still, newsmen, many of whom
were present at the original Board
meeting, persisted in reporting the
move as a definite thing.
But, in the midst of all the
opposition, comes a weak administrative voice murmuring, "It really
isn't definite after all."

Why? we wonder.
It has been more than two
months since the Board meeting at
which the news originated, and not
one administrative peepdid we hear
that reporting was erroneous. (This
is hardly characteristic of an ad-

ministration so publicity conscious.) If the communications
media were in error, why was no
protest made before?
The administration rests on a
technicality. Final approval must
be given by the Board of Trustees,
they say. But this is nothing new.
Final approval of any University
project is always given by the
Board. And, after a Trustees'
on such an important profinal approval usually is just
ject,
a technicality.
"go-ahea-

d"

This is just one aspect of the
stadium situation which perplexes
us. That the university, on such
has seemingly
weak grounds,
backed down on its plans in the
wake of widespread opposition. If
plans have changed, that's one
thing. But to back down by standing on a technicality or to bide
time while appeasing the opposition is another.
We hope this is not the case.
We would like to

think the

Uni-

versity, after more than 100 years,
and the present administration,
after three years, are either mature
enough to admit a mistake or brave
enough to confront the opposition.

Another Viewpoint
are

The Lexington papers
opto the building of a new
posed
and bigger UK stadium, and they
give a list of reasons. All of these
are sound and logical, but they
omitted one of the most important.
Who's going to sit in all these
extra seats?
alumni
If there are starry-eye- d
who believe Bradshaw is going to
build a football dynasty in Lexington, comparable to that of Bear
Bryant or Frank Broyles or Ara
Parseghian, they had better lower

their sights. Come down out of the
stars, men, and look at Charlie's

record.
And look now, before the season
gets started. Bradshaw himself has
given the word this year his team
will concentrate on defense.
Translated this means he doesn't
expect to beat anybody and will
try to keep the scores respectable.
Let's wait until Thanksgiving
and see if there's still a clamor
for a new stadium.
Kentucky Irish American

Honda Riders
Honda Rider strikes again!
But there has been a change
in Honda Rider since last semester's
pressure move against him he is
now striking under the cover of
darkness.
Steps were taken in the spring to
protect innocent campus pedestrians from Honda Rider and his
Band of Reckless Riders. And, since
then, students, faculty and staff
members, and visitors have been
relatively safe while walking across
campus during the daylight hours.
However, some members of
Honda Rider's Band neither die
nor fade away. And the night hours
apparently proved more temptation
than they could withstand, for we
have heard the unmistakable roar
of Honda motors scurrying across
campus after sundown.
Perhaps Honda Rider or the
guilty member of his Band feels safe
from detection at the later time
of day, but the pedestrian on campus
at these hours is definitely not safe.

"What's New, Shorly?"

In fact, he is less safe during the
night hours when he can't see the
violator than during the daylight
hours when he may quickly find
refuge behing the nearest tree.
We offer this more as a warning
to the pedestrian than as a plea to
Honda Rider. It has become quite
evident that someone must be
injured (or worse) before he realizes
that the best way to get across
campus is to go around it by way
of streets meant for such travel.

Activity In Thailand
Senator J. W. Fulbright, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has called for an
investigation and hearing on U.S.
activity in Thailand, one of the most
controversial areas in Southeast
Asia, probably second only to Vietnam. The Arkansas senator's request is indeed warranted and
worthy of support.
Not only would such a hearing
shed some illumination on a country that has the potential of becoming another Vietnam, but it
also would help to better establish
the Senate, and certainly the Foreign Relations Committee, as the
coordinate branches of government
they were intended to be.
move, coupled with a
Senate proposal to reduce the
number of American troops in
d
Europe, emerges as a

eign affairs.
Reports from Thailand say Communist guerrilla warfare has been
mounting in the northeastern
region. The senator said the U.S.
now has between 25,000 and 30,000
men in Thailand, which is the same

Deadline Nears
Many students will have their
first opportunity to vote in state
elections Nov. 8, but not unless
they register. The deadline is Saturday at noon.
Kentucky students have a
greater opportunity then most because they have the privilege to
vote at 18. Only four states permit
voters to be under 21. The privilege demands a responsible reaction.
Equally significant are the issues on the Kentucky ballot.
Students can help approve or defeat the proposed revision of the
state constitution, and will help
elect a U.S. Senator to a
term.

activiand other
ties, the term should at least
elicit an educated guess of what
I am writing.
Student Congress, unrepresentative of the student body at
best and the victim of a nonsensical student governing structure at worst, has long been
the principle link in the chain
of organizations which composes
the Student Bureaucracy.
The decision of Student Congress last year to disavow itself
from state, national and international political issues was
probably the most reactionary
and shortsighted act ev er exuded
from this popularit)-plumetinic

g

group.

this point before theletter-to-- t
bo)s whisk out their
poison pens, I will admit before
God, Mother, and the Beatles,
that I w as totally and irrevocabl)
wrong in failing to act and prevent this bit of political hypocrisy
from ever taking place. This inaction in itself should have been
enough reason for an) student
to have voted against me last
the fact
spring,
that I was not nearly as astute
in the art of debating as ni)
opponent.
But this is past and only
deals on periphery of the question at hand.
In making this decision Student Congress has made of itself
a Student Council which docs
little else but provide petty services and comment on University policy; the latter is only
true when you have a strong
president who isn't afraid to
make anybody mad and who
shows no fear of speaking out.
Now everybody in the "in
crowd" knows that the administration (with the exception of
Vice President Johnson, Registrar Elbert Ockerman and a
usually does not take
matters of resounding effect on
the students to the student
governing bod).
And in the heavv agenda of
the Faculty Senate many Student
Congress proposals get lost in the
shuf fle of more pressing business.
So that leaves pett) services.
Well, in drawing up last year's
budget with President Winston
Miller, we found that alter you

and Office Stall, )ou have an
approximate total of $3,000, from
the Hat allotment ol $10,000,
with which to make grants to
other organizations and carry
on )our own projects.
This at first glance may look
like a lot of money, but when
compared to the estimated
$13,000 it would require to run
a competent Freshman Academic
Assistance Program, it is a measure of proof that Student Congress cannot provide adequate
services to the student body with
finances. So
why not politics?
The number two spot in the
Student Bureaucracy belongs to
the Student Center Board. It
made twopolicv decisions during

the past )ear which illustrate-thait, too, has turned at least
one deaf ear to the students.
Out of the political realm
for a moment, we witnessed a
ruling last September which in
essence (despite the fane) explanation) banned alcoholic beverages from the Student Center
t

Ball Boom.
Again those in the "in crowd"
know that decision was not made
by the Student Center Board,
but was handed down by the
administration and the board w as
told to ratify it or else.
The "else" could have been
avoided if the board had possessed the fortitude to fight this
unrealistic policy.
Yes, you hear people say: "It's
a state law." My answer to this
is that it is also a state law on
the alumnus side of Mclean Stadium at Stoll Field, and the way
"Jack In The Black" flows over
there, it is a mystical wonder
there isn't a mass exodus by
the players into the stands, w hose
aroma is much more inviting
than the unstable turf.

She is relatively new to the
inner workings of campus politics, but she is a good enough
politician to know that she can't

very capable of feeling the same
way.
If he is as astute in the center ring of campus politics as
he was on the election trail,
then he, too, will keep an ear
open to those who elected him.
