Judiciary Board Continues
Hearings On Code Violation
By RICK KINCAI1)
Kernel Staff Writer

The UK Student Judicial
Hoard was scheduled to resume
hearings today for the 23 remaining students charged with
violations of the Student Code
stemming from last month's campus disorders.
UK senior John Junot was to
at
appear before the
9 a.m., with the hearing for
graduate student Mason Taylor
scheduled for 1 p.m.
The two students are charged
with more violations of the code
than any of the other students.
Junot has 11 individual
charges against him, while Taylor is charged with 21 seperate
counts. Several of the counts
carry sentences of compulsory
suspension.
A total of 31 students were
charged with code violations by
the Dean of Students office. Before today's session, the
had acquitted three students of
all charges brought against
them. Five of the 31 students
had accepted disciplinary measures proposed by the University

students were granted continuances until a later date.
The acquittals were brought
in favor of graduate student
Steve Schwartz, sophomore student government representative
Josh O'Shea, and senior David
Holwerk.
"Obscene Misbehavior"
Schwartz defended himself
against charges that he had
shouted obscenities at police officers.
He told the board he
made the "obscene" statements
in an emotional reaction to seeing the students "attacked" by
the

officers.

Holwerk was charged with
violating a section of the code
regarding "obscene misbehav-to- r.

The charge centered around
his use of a
word refour-lett-

ferring to sexual intercourse,
considered by some to be obscene, during a speech he gave

the night of May 1, the night
before the disorders began.

Holwerk's attorney, UK law
professor Robert Scdler, based
his defense on Holwerk's freedom of speech under the First
Amendment.
Sedler said it
would be "absolutely absurd,
and moreover, unconstitutional,"
to convict a person for his ideas
or expressions where no "clear
and present danger" was in evidence.
In his closing statement, Sedler told the
that in
primitive societies, certain words
were considered obscene, but
that in our society today all
words were acceptable.
Sedler continued that society
today is not afraid that certain
"taboo words" will "bring down
the wrath of the gods." He added that there is "a constitutional right to say the word
Sedler also said the legal definition of "obscenity" refers to
an entire thought or expression
appealing to a "morbid, shameful interest in sex." He said
that when a word is taken out
of context, it cannot be considered obscene under the legal
definition.
After a somewhat heated session and lengthy deliberation,

Men who object to military

reasons were given a new lease

Supreme Court broadened the

The new ruling allows objectors to base their belief on moral
and ethical reasons which may
or may not be independent of
their religious commitments.

Although the
Supreme
Court decision cleared much of
the ambiguity of the 1965 hearmoral obing on

Service Director Curtis V. Tarr
indicated that the new interpretation should "not open the
door" to massive exemptions. '
He further stated that those
men seeking exemptions as conscientious objectors will have to

by which draft boards will determine the sincerity of a potential conscientious objector.
These are expected to be the
substance of the official guidelines:
"There must be no question
that his belief is sincere."
"He must be opposed to

the war in Vietnam."
He must have considered

other than his own moral code.
His views must be the result of "some kind of rigorous

The UK Alumni Association
has taken steps to enable graduates who live outside the state
to serve as trustees.
Trustee eligibility for those

established only by changing
state law. The existing statutes
provide that all trustees must be
"citizens of Kentucky."
At the conclusion of a three-da- y
workshop last weekend at
Fort Mitchell, the association's
board of directors adopted an
trustee resolution introduced by Samuel M. Cas-sida UK alumnus now living
in Pittsburgh, Pa.
The resolution said, in part,
that the board recommends and
strongly urges that the necessary
legal steps be taken to authorize
the governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky to appoint
at his discretion . . . one or

Hungry? Use Food Stamps
By CHERYL DIPAOLO

Kernel Staff Writer
You're going to summer
school, and you can't find even a
part-tim- e
job, and already you're
tired of eggs and hamburgers.

Fayette County offers students a partial solution to alleviate hunger pains and still help
reserve that dwindling money
supply.

The answer is food stamps.
Although the program was initiated in the county in April, 19G9,
y
to replace the old
it was March before
plan,
college students were considered
surplus-commodit-

eligible. Now students can purchase anything from chicken legs
to cake mixes from Kroger's,
Shopper's Choice, A&P, and several other local stores. Beer, wine,
cigarettes, paper products, soaps
and cleansers are not included.
To be eligible, you must have
your own cooking facilities and
receipts from all living expenses.
Then income, the number of people sharing expenses, and the cost
of tuition, books, medical bills,
and utilities are tallied and de-

ducted.
Mrs. William Dungan, one of
seven interviewers working in the
food stamp office, explained that

and

students
applying for stamps must be registered with the state employpart-tim- e

full-tim-

e

ment office.

Another worker, Miss Sharon
Spencer, felt the program was an
excellent opportunity for stustudents since even
dents are eligible. "If I was
eligible, I'd like to have them,"
she exclaimed.
The maximum amount of
stamps allotted for one person is
$28; the purchaser pays anywhere
from $.50 to $18 for them.
An interview may be set up
by calling the Public Assistance
office on High Street.

It is hoped that "Love Story,"
Erich Segals current number
one best seller, is not indicative
of the taste of the American people. This "novel," which was
formerly a short story in the
Ladies Home Journal, is one of
the biggest exploitations of the
American Youth scene yet marketed.

The plot is relatively simple:
Boy meets girl, boy gets girl,
girl gets leukemia. To some
fifty thousand housewives, this
is the immediate signal for empathy with today's youth. Of
course there are more complications.
The boy just happens to be
the richest kid at Harvard, and
the girl happens to be the
daughter of a poor Italian pastry
chef who is working to put his
daughter through RadclifFe.

did what I had never done in
his presence, much less in his
arms. I cried."
And this is the current number one best seller. This is what
the American public is buying.
It is precisely this type of novel
that brings down the indictment
of American cultural taste. Such
works as the "Strawberry Statement," an account of the Columbia demonstrations, are going completely unnoticed. This
is a novel which has been acclaimed by many critics as the
most realistic views of the unrest of college students written
to date.
Yet it is works like "Love
Story" which the public acclaims and this unrealistic view
of today's youth which too
many of the older generation
wish to accept. It should be
noted that "Love Story" is Mr.
Segal's first novel. Let's hope
his style improves before he
widens the generation gap even

in New York City. All this goes
to prove what you can do without your parent's money and

reminiscent of the death scene

Harris gets a chance to prove
his true worth by killing two
braves in an enemy scouting
party. This merits him the privilege of undergoing what is
billed as one of the most electrifying scenes ever filmed in
order to gain status as a warrior.
This "Vow to the Sun" consists
of Harris being pierced in the
chest with a pair of animal bones
and then suspended by these
bones tied to a rope ten feet
from the ground held up by his
chest muscles. Believe it or not,
Harris has more chest than
heart and survives the ritual to
become one of the most acclaimed warriors and the husband of the chiefs sister.

some instances there were not
enough seats to go around (in our
Classmodern and
room Building!) One professor expected 12 students and got 70.
The intersession was approved
the University Senate November
by
24, 1969. Surely five months is
ample time for an institution of
this size to organize such a short
semester.
or application for admission by all students intending to enroll would
have reduced the confusion immensely.
It could be a good thing. A

course would be great
for a senior who needs three hours
to graduate. It's even worth contemplating using during the regular
semester. But haphazard planning
leads to a poor product. Maybe

Following the burning of the Air
Force ROTC Building during the
May protests on campus, Gov.
Louie B. Nunn took the ultimate
step and called out 250 National
Guardsmen to "quell the demonstrations."
He acknowledged
that the
guardsmen carried "mounted bayonets and live ammunition." There
was no specific statement, however,
that bullets were in the rifle chambers. And it is still questionable
whether or not the weapons were
loaded, or if so, how many were
loaded and ready to be fired.
Gov. Nunn said he called out the
Guard because "my decision was
either to wait until the campus was
half burned down with lives being
lost, or to act."
It would be hard to disagree with
his belief that lives and property
should be protected.
Arson is a deplorable act. It is an
even more heinous crime when so
many nearby dormitories and their
residents' lives were endangered.
But must 250 National Guardsmen be activated to stop only a
handful of protestors? Are 250
Guardsmen necessary to prevent
possible future fires fires that
would take only one person to set?
Did he have no faith in the ability
of the state troopers and Lexington
and campus police to handle the
situation?
Many citizens had this view of
the protests in their minds' eyes:

"While hundreds and hundreds of
radicals hurled rocks and bottles
and further harrassed law enforcement officials, the National Guardsmen protected the non protestors
and our state property."
In truth there were very few real
protestors. The somewhat smaller
crowds that did gather consisted
mostly of "spectators."
Because it was final exam week,
some students had left campus before the Tuesday protests and fire
at the ROTC Building. And many
others spent the entire week studying for the tests. There was no
huge protesting mass.
It could be argued, "Why didn't
the stupid 'spectators' stay home
and keep out of trouble?" Many of
the persons who argue this point
are the same ones who chase fire
trucks and ambulances. Inquisi-tivenes- s
is a common human trait.
Gov. Nunn overreacted when he
activated the National Guard. Its
presence on campus (whether the
Guardsmen carried loaded rifles or
not) could have done more to provoke violence than alleviate it.
Presence of the Guard probably
would have, had the situation arisen
earlier in the semester. Many students were just too preoccupied
with finals and moving home to get
involved.
The campus is quiet now. No
"long, hot summer" is expected. But
where the spring semester left off,
the fall semester could pick up.

We are now dealing with a university of fear. Fear that may last
and become repression. Fear that

that can be used against itself to
promote understanding.
But personally, I'am afraid it
will be used primarily to promote
repression which is also a "public

I am not saying that the "fear"
