lack of communications
for causing the disorders. He was the first
speaker in the Tavern Talk series.

Bond Says Future Of Powerless Blacks
Depends On Involvement In Politics
By DEBBIE TASSIE

Julian Bond, Georgia

congressman, confronted his audience at Danville High School
last night with the thought that
"The future of blacks is the future of politics. Our involvement
will determine the kind of future
we and the country will have."
"We are generally poor, unemployedor underemployed,
poorly educated, powerless, and
black. We are all of these things
because of the last two."
His speech, centered around
the topic of "The New Politics
of the South," was sponsored
by Centre College. In it he emphasized the immediate need for
black involvement in politics for
the purpose of their own
He suggested that the reason

calls to unite among black people
have been generally ignored is
that power and associations
based on race are believed to
be evil and corrupt. Instead,
black people have accepted discussions and conferences.
"Revolution is not imminent
. . . (Nor is) immediate attention
to problems academic to blacks
or

the poor."

He supported black power,
comparing it to the control immigrant groups gained as their
numbers rose in the cities. For
blacks to establish a new position
in society, he said it is necessary

sands of miles away."
In a question period, Bond
stated that "The proper place for
white students is working among
poor whites. This is the most
racist group in society."
When asked about the presidential candidates, he said that
most of the people who support
George Wallace the working
class wouldn't if they knew of
his past support for big business.

Communication Gap
Cause Of Disorders?
Says Dr. Mason
By DANIEL E. COS SETT
Dr. Gene Mason of the Political Science Department, at the
first of this year's series of Tavern Talks Wednesday night, placed
the cause of civil disorders, both national and local on a lack
of communication between people with different opinions.
To a small croup gathered
on the third tioor ot Maria s change in the social structure of

Recommendations
made by
Lt. Col. William J. Cummins,
assistant fire chief for Louisville,

in'uded:

To impose a death penalty
for arson committed during a
civil insurrection.
To raise from two to five
yean the penalty for setting a
fire maliciously.
To outlaw items used in making fire bombs.
Louisville Police Chief C. J.
Hyde suggested Tuesday that
anyone taking part in a disorder
would be subject to a murder
charge if a policeman were killed.
He also recommended that a
police officer be immune from
charges if he should kill anyone
while trying to disperse a crowd
in a riot area.
Although Cummins and fire
Capt. William Pritchett both testified that bricks and bottles were
thrown at firemen during the May
disorders, Cummins said he did
not think firemen should be
armed nor take part in police
action. He said that would
change their image and might
lead to more violence.
Cummins said fire alarms for
361
separate incidents were
turned in during the week of
May 27 and that 146 of these
were "maliciously false." He said

crowds were waiting and stoned
and harassed firemen as they
answered most of those calls.

He said 1,700 maliciously false
alarms had been turned in
through Sept. 20 of this year,
which when compared with the
average of 468 a year received
over the last five years, showed
this was an organized effort.

The harassment and stonings
being encountered by firemen in
Louisville's predominantly Ne

gro West End, Cummins and
Pritchett said, had plunged morale on the force "very, very

low."

Cummins said the fire department now had 92 vacancies and
was finding it difficult to recruit
firemen.
The only testimony received
by the committee from any Negro or civil rights leaden was a
tape recording of a television
program made May 27, the first
night of rioting.

University Professor
To Return To Egypt

A University of Kentucky professor is returning for five months to
the Nile River Valley, where he hopes to learn more about the area's

early association with Christianity.
Dr. W. Y. Adams, an associate
professor of anthropology, has
received a $76,000 grant from the
National Science Foundation to
work in the Sudan during the
1969 spring semester.
Dr. Adams' studies and excavation work will be concentrated on Kulubnarti, an island
about 80 miles south of Wadi
Haifa, near the Egyptian border.
The island, Dr. Adams believes, is the location of the last
Christian settlement in the area.
"It is known that the settlement
was not converted to Islam because of foreign conquest or other
external impositions," he said.

Mendes called for more dialogue in teaching and for more
"educational autonomy in the
hands of students."
"Education shouldn't be just
teaching you to fit into a slot
in society." he contended.

The site of an abandoned
medieval Orthodox church is less
than a mile from the modern
village of Akasha, which will
soon be evacuated because the
fields will be flooded by waters
from the Aswan dam.
Besides Dr. Adams, the UK
team will consist of two graduate
assistants and their wives, who
will serve as technical assistants,
and Mrs. Adams, who will supervise laboratory work and serve
as camp manager.

Capp's Thing
Cartoonist
Capp, a
"expert on nothing" with
"opinions on everything," did his
thing Tuesday night in Memorial
Coliseum, and the students present
ate it up.
Capp demonstrated a sharp wit
accompanied only by simplistic approaches to problems gnawing at
the roots of the nation and of
higher education. And UK students ate it up.
The latter aspect of the affair
cannot be overemphasized. The fact
that Al Capp is a reactionary, albeit
a quickwitted one, who falls back
on insensitive "solutions" can be
accepted without too much sorrow.
But when wildly applauding students swallow such categorical dismissals of world problems with
funny lines, then there is reason
to question the prevailing mentality
of students at this institution.
Al

American is no damned good."
One cannot help but wonder
from this glowing example of humanistic concern whether Capp's
true sympathy lies with human
beings or with symbols of reactionary repression.
In all, his talk was reminiscent
of another prominent figure, although the latter admittedly lacked
Capp's punch lines, who spoke in
the same building two Saturday's
before.
Indeed, one cannot help but
wonder if the inspiration for George

heart-wannin-

istic concern for all those policemen, especially those in Chicago,
whom he portrayed as having been
victimized by "hoodlum" demonstrators, was certainly uplifting to
the human spirit. But those Vietnamese people who are the objects
of destruction, along with American
soldiers, of this nation's immoral
foreign policy, do not seem to
merit this outpouring of humanistic concern. After all, as Capp
put it, "Anyone who shoots an

similarities between the two men.

The Oklahoma Daily

Capp told the wildly cheering
hordes that students have not lived
long enough to dare to attempt to
implement solutions to problems
of which they could not possibly
have any understanding.
Sure, just accept racial injustices and our country's misguided
foreign policy and perpetuate them
because you certainly could not
know any more about them than
the older generation which is allowing them to flourish.

Students for a Democratic Society.
He condemned SDS for hateful
intolerance of groups with which
it disagrees. But Capp exposed his
own inclinations alongthe very line
he was criticizing when he walked
out on a presidential reception following his talk because some SDS
members were present.
We feel no more need be said
about Al Capp, the cartoonist.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
Bob Brown's column of September 23
was so stocked mil of erroneous statements that upon perusal I could not
believe the Kernel actually published it.
First, John Cooper's platform for the
presidency in last spring's Student Government election was not oneof abolishing
SG, but of aiding it through a variety
of programs, some of which have already
been acted upon by the victorious candidate to that position. In the second
place, Wednesday's election was publicized by several articles in the Kernel
to that effect. Next, there was no "official SG slate," but merely a mimeographed list of people from some unknown source which was distributed at
the polls by friends of people on the list.
As a fourth point, the election of a slate
of candidates with a stated platform
would seem to have quite the opposite
effect of a paralysis of SG. The fact that
SAB candidates actually have a plan
for action in SC indicates some initiative
to get something done. Instead of draining "away what little effectiveness SG
now has," a program for action in SG
should increase its effectiveness.
Finally, to show the absurdity of Mr.
Brown's article, I might point out that

the only kind word said about one of
the victorious candidates was in lauding
a fellow member of the fraternity of wliich
Mr. Brown is presently serving as president.
If Monday's article is indicative, it
will indeed be another long year for
Student Government.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
I would like to write and commend the
action of Dr. Gene Mason and Dr. John
Beeves, these two respected and intelligent men of the UK Community, who,
along with others too numerous to mention, displayed true Democratic loyalty.
Their action at the Humphrey rally
in Louisville should serve as a guideline
to all the confused idealistic people who
were "beaten" at the past convention.
They showed that to get any true
results from a party you must change
from within. No results will radically
change from an individual bolting his or
her party. A protest vote means little in
the final tally. So think twice about
voting for one party, just to spite another.
