The University Student Advisory Committee (USAC) submitted their "Proposal For Advising Students," a recommendation for improving the present
student advising procedures, to
the Faculty Senate Executive
Council Wednesday night.
Recognizing the importance of
student advising to the individual, the USAC proposal cited
several defects in the current
Overworked,
system.
advisors
unrewarded
were the most outstanding problem mentioned.
Committee
The
Advisory
listed nine proposals for improving the advising system. Among
the most effective of the proposals were suggestions for reducing the work of the individual
advisors, providing compensation for the extra work, hiring
professional advisors, training
sessions for advisors and equipping each advisor with complete

course and requirement information.
The resolution pointed out
that Ball State University has
had a system similar to that proposed by USAC in effective operation for five years.
Organized by the Student
Government last April, USAC
drew up a list of problems confronting the student body. Chairman Jean-PaPegeron commented that "We thought the
advising system was the most
important, and the one we should
tackle first."
The committee divided itself
into groups and talked with the
dean of each college or the person in charge of advising for
the department. According to
Chairman Pegeron, every department acknowledged the problem
and the need for improvement.
For the time being the proposal is in the hands of the Faculty Senate Executive Council
for possible technical corrections

and criticism. Eventually the

pa-

per must go before the Senate
for final approval; however, no
date has been set for the presen-

tation.
The Faculty Senate approval
is a vital step in putting the
USAC proposal
into effect.
Pegeron said, "If it (the proposal) meets the approval of the
Faculty Senate then we'll have a
basis to act." USAC is also working with the Presidential Selection Committee.
The proiosal read as follows:
WHEREAS advising is a necessary procedure for all students;
and
WHEREAS the University
student population is rapidly increasing; and
WHEREAS advisors are already overloaded with the task
of too many advisees; and
WHEREAS advisors are

Cook Attacks Opposition As 'Old, Stodgy
there is not a great deal of glory
in forced military service."
. Cook emphasized the ineffectiveness of the large number of
programs directed toward minority groups. "They have so many
programs pushed on them, they
don't know what to do. We have
new ones because the old ones
have failed."
He further admonished the
audience not to assume "so great
a debt in attempting to solve
crises by money alone, that you
finally reduce your dollar to no

of hope to you that your future's He concluded, "We've found Cook confirmed that he would
going to be rosy," he warned
his listeners.
Having established his basic
position, which he repeated periodically throughout the evening,
he began circuitously alluding
to his position on various issues.
Cook was decisive concerning
the draft, calling it a "system
that keeps every 6 year old
in a state of suspended animation." He proposed affirmative
steps toward establishing a professional army which offers inand educato a centives, advances,
tional opportunities.

While television cameras filming commercials of his youthful
supporters illuminated the room,
Jefferson County Judge Marlow
Cook discussed his position as a
Republican senatorial candidate.
His speech was preceded by
brief remarks from Russ Mobley,
Republican candidate for Congress, calling for clarification of
the issues in the campaign. "The
main motive of the opposition
is to cloud the issues," he assert ed.

and said to anyone standing on
the bank, "If you're big enough
to take it back, go ahead and

The war in Vietnam was begun under President Johnson, according to Cook. He pointed out
that although there were substantial numbers of troops in
Vietnam during the two previous
administrations, "it was not until
Johnson went into office that
the country learned the word

acceleration."

"We ought to win a war or
get out," he later asserted In
a questioning period. He affirmed
that he would support a greater
commitment and increased bombing, "if the government would

promise me that this will end
the war in six weeks."
The Judge expressed his disfavor of gun control legislation

acteristic of his speech. "I've
got a couple of shotguns I keep
for hunting. If it became publicly known, there would be a
headline in the papers the next
day screaming, 'Judge Cook keeps

His concluding remarks were
directed toward young people
in their role as college students.
He opposed their attempts to
incur change in universities.
"You ascribed to the rules and
regulations of the University
when you came here."
He broadened this to "Peace
is acquired through law and order and justice."

Academic Brutality
Saturday the Blue and 'White
of the University of Kentucky will
meet the Old Gold and Black of
the University of Missouri at Stoll
Field. They will do battle, and the
scoreboard will show a winner.
And spectators will drink and cheer
regardless. But two players who
should be there will not be. One
is dead. The other is partially
paralyzed and may never run again.
Most of us know the toll in
human lives and productivity of
last year's football season. We've
been more lucky this year, for no
one has been seriously injured in
the battles on the practice field.
So, at least up until this time,
this year's most brutal academic
activity has not proven horrendous.
But out of the sickening events
of last year came a question. It
was asked last year. But it has
not been answered. We still do
not know exactly what role sports,
especially brutal ones that take
lives, have in an academic community.
It is hard to answer that question in this state. Sports and the
University of Kentucky are linked

more strongly in the minds of
than anything else. Very
few people would ask it. But they
should.
Are the students who turn out
and cheer, drink their whiskey and
boo, really furthering their educations? Are the coaches and the
trainers performing a valid academic role? And are the players on the
field increasing their yearning for
knowledge? The answers, we feel,
are negative.
If it is merely entertainment the
University is trying to provide, we
suggest they look for something a
little more passive. There should
be nothing entertaining about
broken bones and mutilated bodies.
If they are merely seeking the revenue, the answer is the same. All the
money in the game won't put Greg
Page back on the field. If it is
merely public support, the answer
again.
Big time football, while regret-abl- e
in all its violence, is not our
target. But take it elsewhere, or
change the game. Football, as we
have witnessed it at the University
of Kentucky, does not belong in an
academic community.

What'd He Say?
Apparently Lexington Police Chief E. C. Hale thinks that he's
said something when he vows that "I am not going to be pushed
fuzzy-face- d
around by these
people who have no roots
or interest in this community." But what has he said?
Has he said that the Church Community Service, which has been
pushing for police reforms, has no interest in this community? That
seems a strange thing to say about a group of respectable ministers.
Is he saying that the University students in the new Community
Alliance for Responsible Social Action (CARSA) are the
fuzzy-face- s
he's not going to be pushed around by? Again, a strange
to say, considering the percentage of CARSA members who
thing
wear beards or long hair. And consider the amount of money which
University students spend in the community.
In fact, the whole statement is rather strange, to the point of being
meaningless. And, if it weren't for the fact that the leading police
executive in the city had said it, it might even be kind of funny.

'I'd Like To Apologize For The
Soft On Communism Charge . . .
I Was Quoting The Old Nixon . . .

!'

By David Holwerk

Tuesday night, following the invitation
which their advertisement had contained,
several Kernel staff members, this writer
included, ventured into the Campus Young
Democrats meeting in order to be convinced that "the Democratic Party is
not dead." At least that's what the ad
said, and so it has to be assumed that
last night's meeting was designed to
show the YD group off at its liveliest.
Arriving late as I did, it was
cult to really figure out what was

diffi-

hap-

peopening. There were about thirty-fiv- e
ple present, all of whom seemed to be
at least occasionally breathing which assured us that at least the membership
of that fine old party is not dead. The
proceedings of the same body were something else again. Then things began to
happen.
One member stood up and suggested
that the meetings should be closed to
for reasons somewhat unclear. Another stood up and said that
he was against the idea and that if it
should happen the group should change
its name to the Young Democrats Fencing
and Debauchery Society. Finally the President of the organization said that he was
against the idea because, in his words,
"The Democratic Party is not an elite
party. It is composed of Negroes, and
Polish and every other minority in this
country, which makes it a majority party."
non-studen- ts

While everyone pondered over the
weight and wisdom of this pronouncement, the whole idea of closed meetings
more or less died. So, moreor less, did the

rest of the meeting and we adjourned
the gala social mixer which the advertisement in the Kernel had promised.
And what a time it was! A charming
young lady in a lovely beige suit dispensed cokes, coffee, and three kinds of
cookies. (Yes! Three kinds of cookies!)
Entertainment was provided by the
membership themselves, who talked on
such stimulating topics as "How Did
Your Rush Go," "My New Dress," and
"Why I Was For Humphrey All Along."
Tickets were freely dispensed which
would admit the bearer to the great
Humphrey For President rally to be held
in Louisville. "Oh, thank you," one girl
responded. "They're just what I've always wanted."
Cookies and cokes were consumed at
a phenomenal rate, leading one experienced campus political observer to speculate that "some of them kids ain't eat
since McCarthy lost out in Chicago."
This was quickly disproven when an
impromptu poll indicated that only four
people had supported McCarthy. Two of
these thought the question concerned the
famous Joseph McCarthy, which perhaps
it should have.
Among the notables at the meeting
were none really worth mentioning. All
wore charming outfits cleverly constructed
of cloth and other materials, with inherent body coverings made mostly , of
skin. All in all, it was just the funnest
evening I have had since the time we
pushed old lady Griffin's outhouse over
the cliff with her in it, and I shall treasure
it for ever and ever.

Kernel Soapbox: Wallace Reception'
By TERRY DUNHAM
A 6c S Senior

Those who advocate responsible behavior during speeches at the University
should be pleased by student behavior
during Saturday's convocation. They also,
however, should be concerned about several things which happened there.
event was sponsored
The
by the University to provide students
an opportunity to hear the candidate and
benefit from what they heard, whether
or not they were in agreement with what
was said. Students were urged to listen
but not respond with any disruptive action.
Happily, students complied with suggestions that signs and placards opposing
Mr. Wallace not be taken into the Coliseum, probably partly because it was
reported in the Kernel that a rule to tikis
effect would
likely be enforced at the
door by police. Inside, they faced thousands of "signs" in support of the candidate, worn BY those from outside the
n

University but worn WITHIN its physical
plant and convocation.
Happily, students complied with the
request for "politeness," but outsiders,
two of whom said they were from Louisville, heckled a student in attendance
until the speech was, in fact, disrupted.
Happily, students recognized the
meaning of the convocation "for education's sake," and many attended although
they did not agree with the speaker.
In the Coliseum, however, they joined
thousands of Wallace supporters who had
read daily ads in the Lexington papers
proclaiming "WALLACE RALLY" in
large letters, and who most certainly
did not understand the philosophy of the
meeting.
Finally, newsmen were required to
wear press cards bearing the slogan, "Wallace For President" in large red letters.
This is an extremely unusual, if not unprecedented, use of the press, and was
protested by tliose who did not support

the candidate.

I congratulate for their behavior students who attended the convocation but
did not support Mr. Wallace, for they
know more now than they did before,
but did no
