By LEE BECKER
Louie B. Nunn will climb onto a platform in front
of the state capitol in Frankfort Dec. 12 and be sworn
into the office of governor of the commonwealth of Ken—

tucky.

Perhaps no other man in the state will have as
much control over the future of the University.

Mr. Nunn will immediately become chairman and
a voting member of the University Board of Trustees.
There are 15 voting members on the board.

Just how much control Mr. Nunn‘ will be able to
wield over the board is not known. Before the election
he said he intended to take an active part in board

affairs.

Friday, Dec. 8, l967

Republican J. Robert Miller also will become a
voting member of the board by virtue of his office.
He will be commissioner of agriculture.

Wendell Butler, a Democrat, elected superintendent
of public instruction, also serves on the board. Mr.
Butler was on the board for the past four years as
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Mr. Nunn will have three vacant positions on the
board to fill after Dec. 31, and will have three to fill
each year he is in office. _

Thus if the board would divide into Nunn-appointee
and Breathitt-appointee factions on any issue, for the
first year at least, Mr. Nunn would probably find

himself on the short end.

Reagan Calls Investigation
In San Francisco Riot

SAN FRANCISCO (CPS)—
(Ialifornia Gov. Ronald Reagan
called today for an investigation
of yesterday's demonstration at
San Francisco State College,
which resulted in damage to sev-
eral campus buildings and the
suspension of classes for the day.

Reagan issued the call for an
investigation from New Haven,
Conn., where he is spending four
days as a visiting seminar leader
and lecturer at Yale University.

Yesterday's demonstration at
San Francisco State began at noon
when about 500 students, most
ofthem white, gathered to protest
the suspension of four Negro stu-
dents. The four were suspended
last month for taking part in
assualt of the editor of the cam-

pus newspaper.

The assembled students
wanted to present their demand
to a member of the administra-

Senate Stalls
$14.2 Billion
Education Bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — Un-
able to resolve differences over
. the givernment’s school desegre-
gation procedures, the Senate put.
aside Thursday a $142-billion
aid-to-education bill.

It took up and passed the
32.7-billion foreign aid approp-
riations bill after agreeing to re-
turn to the school-aid authori-
zation measure next Monday. Bu
the delay nukes it doubtful that
the hill can be enacted this year.

The postponement resulted in

largepartfi'ornalackofayee
meat among Southern senators

on amendments dealing with the
governmt's authority to with-
hold fedaal funds from school
districts which do not meet de-._
segrention standards set by the
Department of Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare HEW.

Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore.,
announced Wednesday he was
drafting a proposal which he be-
lieved might meet some of the
Southerners' objections to the
government's enforcement of de-
segregation guidelines. '

But Thursday, it was learned,
the Southern senators withheld
any assurances this would lead
to speedy action on the bill.

tion. but they found the admin-
istration buildings locked.

After remaining outside for
a while, several of the demon-
strators broke into the building.
Once inside they milled around
for about two hours causing a
number of minor acts of vanda-
lism to the building.

The crowd grew outside, and
some fist fights broke out be-
tween those supporting the stu-
dents' suspension and those on
posing it. There has been con-
siderable tension on campus be-
tween the two factions since the
beating of the newspaper editor
last month.

The Negro students who took
part in that incident have never
explained why.

Yesterday, in addition to the
fights there were several acts d
vandalism around the campus
adding to the tension on campus.

In the course of the afternoon

the door to thelibrary was broken
in, the front windows in the
campus book store were smashed,
an attempt was made to set the
store on fire, and the student
cafeteria was raided by looters
taking food.

Because of the, disruption
caused by the demonstration the
administration called off classes
for the afternoon.

After the unrest on campus
had subsided, San Francisco
State President John Summerskill
said that worse violence hadbeen
averted because he did not call
in the police.

At least one politician felt
otherwise, however, Jesse Unruh,
speaker of the California Assem-
bly and a major figure in the
state's Democratic Party, said he
was ”inclined to think that Sum-
merskill should be fired."

Summerskill said today that
he will not resign as president
of the college.

To Bring ‘Reality’ To UK4

 

SG Wants New Course

Student Covemment Thurs-
day night gave its support to a
program calling on the Univer-
sity to “move awayfrom being
an isolated ivory tower and start
becoming an institution educat-
ing its students to function in a
contemporary, realistic world."

The program, devised by four
University students, would hire
a nationally known person to
teach a course at the University

for a semester, possibly a year.‘

The course would be oflered
for college credit, but these would
be no grades. The “instructor"
would speak before students on
an informal basis about the dis-
cipline in which he has made
his reputation.

Mike Davidson introduced the
resolution to the assembly. Be-
sides Davidson, Les Bosenbaum,
Robert Walker and Bill Eigil are
workingon the program.

In other business, President
Steve Cook announced tickets.
for the basketball games will
be distributed under..t.he old sys-
tem whereby students pick up
tickets a couple of hours before
the game begins.

One change from the old sys-
tem, he said, would be a stipula-
tion that after 7:3) p.m. student
tickets would be sold to the pub-
lic.

Asian students presented their differing opinions on what Asia

was to them. Looking over the shoulder of Dr. Richard Butwell,

head of the Patterson School of Diplomacy, this Asian student

appears to be listening intently “learning about Asians" which
was the name of the conference.

Learning About Asians

By DARRELL RICE

Seven Asian students presen-'
ted differing opinions about Asia
in a conference Thursday after—
noon at the Student Center.

“Learning about Asians" was
the name of the conference, and
that is just what the group of
about forty who were present
did.

The Asian students, who at-
tend universities in their own
countries, were Park Soon Baik,
Korea; Miss Hataitip Depradit-
kul, Thailand; Marsillam Siman-
Djuntak, Indonesia; Takenori In-
oki,]apan; Julie Ward. New Zea-
land; Alvaro Ribeiro, Hong Kong
and J. Santiago L. Santa Ro-
nnna, the Phillipines.

SN CC Investigated

ATLANTA, Ca. (AP)—Feder‘
a] authorities are looking intothe
financial afiairs of the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Com-
mittee (SN@) and checking tax
returns if world-traveling Black
Power spolesman Stokely Car-

michael, it was learned Thurs-

day. .

Intemal'fievenrag—V . has
no record of SNOC-,ever‘having
filed either t "-retums or tax-

of the regional IRS 0800 showed.

When asked about this, IRS
district director A. C. Ross said
he could not comment on it. He
was asked if he would deny IRS
was investigating SNCC's tax
situation and auditing Carmich-
ael’s tax returns for recent years.

For Tax Evasion

"No, I do not deny it," Ross
said.

The Associated Press learned
of the investigation from another
source—a man involved in abus-
iness transaction with Shim.

Carmichael was in France
where he told a crowd Wednes-
day night, "we want the Viet-
namse to defeat the United
States of America." His Black
Power talk and speeches oppos—
ing U.S. policy in Vietnam cut
down on SNCC's income in the
past two years.

SNOC chairman H. Rap
Brown, who succeeded Canni-
chael as head of the small or-
ganization last May, could not
be reached. The New York
SNOC omce declined to say even
where Brown might be. He was
in New York recently.

In Asian Conference

Ribeiro, of Hong Kong, said
Americans seem to “lump all of
Asia into one group.” He thinks
difiering cultural backgrounds of
Asian countries have to be taken
into account to understand As-
ians.

The students offered a variety
of impressions about their coun-
tries in the conference.

”I think Korea is the front
line of capitalism against Com-
mmism," said Korean Park Soon

He said the real difference
between the American and Ko-
rean life is that Americans put
more emphasis on material as-
pects.

Hong Kong is a small Brit-
ish colony bordering Commun-
ist China. Alvaro Ribeiro said
of his home:

“We do not object to the
Communists at all. We just regard
them as working and living in a
difi'erent way."

He said the Chinese are not
viewed as “screarningyellow hor-
des" ready to msh across Qhe
border.

“If we become decolonized,”
Ribeiro said, “there will no longer
be the problem of two Chinas;
there will be the problem of
three Chinas. "

J. Santiago L. Santa Romana
said his country, the Phillipines,
has in some respects ” 'out-Am-
ericaned' the American hard-line
policy toward China." .

He personally feels China has
done well with its industrializa-
tion program and that the Phil-
lipines government will gradually
shift from its hard-line policy.

Miss Ward said New Zealand
sufiers for being a European
country in an Asian part of the
world.

Glassblowing; An Old Art

By LINDA HARRINGTON

A scientific glassblower made
a glass swan and a “cotter fin-
ger" for a class in the Chem-
istry-Physics Building yesterday.

The glassblower, Wilbur Mat-
eyka, has worked for the UK
Chemistry Department for three
years making special research
items and repairing standard
items.

Mr. Mateyka said the ”tools
used for glassblowing are fairly
simple." He used a blow hose
and a torch in his demonstration.
He also' wore special glasses
which he called "sodium filter"
glasses.

The glasses, said Mr. Matey-
ka, “allow me to see what's
going on when the glass is hot.”

"There are abOut 2501!!) form-
ulas for glass and about 25 are
used commercially," Mr. Matey-
ka told the class. “So if you
ever go to a glassblower, don't
just tell him you want some-
thing made of glass."

Mr. Mateyka said the “basic
hand manipulation is still done
as it was done in the dark ages."

He said there are six basic
operations and ”once you mas—
ter these, you can do almost
anything with practice”. He
added, however, that it takes
about five to ten years of ex—
perience and practice.

Mr. Mateyka himself has been
working as a glassblower for ten
and a half years. His career be-
gan when he was working as a
laboratory technician in St.

Louis. He was taken out of the

lab to be trained as a glass-
blower due to a shortage of men

in the field.

Nunn: A Factor In UK ’3 Future

Continued From Page 1

Dr. John Oswald, University
president for four years, does not
have a contract with the Uni-
versity. He does, however, have
tenure as University president
and as a professor of plant path-
ology.

There has not been any inter-
pretation of the meaning of tenure
as president, and it seems as if
the board would have final say
in the matter.

The second area of power for
the governor is the Council of
Public Higher Education.

The council, made up of nine
lay .members and the six presi-
dents of state colleges and uni-
versities, is the state coordinating
agency for higher education.

Among other things, the coun-
cil studies and debates and makes
recommendations concerning the
University's budget before it goes
to the governor.

The council's nine lay mem-
bers are appointed by the gover-
nor for four-year staggeredterrm.

Three seats on the council
will become vacant in 1968, two
in 1969, two in 1970 andthe other
two in 1971.

Only lay members have a vote
in council decisions. Mr. Nunn
could have a majority by 1969.

After the council has passed
on the University budget, the gov-
ernor can include it in his budget

The voice and person of so-

led before a Lexington Philhar-

sylvania College’s Haggin Audi-

Miss Costa ofiered four songs
including the often performed
“Sempre libera" from Verdi's
Traviata. Her coloratura voice
shared the spotlight with her
black, jeweled dress which re-
flected light like a Christmas tree.

Before her perfomiance, the
Met star apologized because the
bright red dress she had wanted
to wear had been lost with some of
her baggage. Perhaps she was a
little hasty in her judgement.

Conductor Leo Scheer and the
Philharmonic presented an ade-
quate program. On Beethoven's

ed to drag things out a bit and the
storm movement seemed more
like, an April shower. However,
things seemed to pick up with

bly as is, or he can make alter-
ations.

He would not likely make the
alterations. The real test of the
budget is before the assembly,
and it is here that the governor
could exert his influence to shape
the budget as he wants.

Mr. Nunn will not have a Re-
publican majority in either house
of the legislature, however, and
how efiective he will be in hand-
ling them is still a rmtter of
speculation.

Any other legislation concem-
ing the University such as a
speaker ban law or action against
the Research Foundation would
have to go through the Assembly.
Mr. Nunn has promised to make
sure that the foundation, pur-
chasers of the Maine Chance
Farm, “act within the confounds
and limitations in which they
were created."

More important toward the
future of the University than all
the above is the action Mr. Nunn
will take on the proposed UK and
University of Louisville sister-
hood status.

During the campaign Mr.‘

Nunn, who got his law degree
from U of L, supported bringing
U of L into the state system,

but said he was not certain how

it should be accomplished.
A committee representing both
schools recommended Nov. 29

that the two schools should be
equal parts of a single univer-
sity that would be given a new
name and would be governed
by a single board of trustees
ultimately appointed by the gov-
ernor.

Each University would have
its own chancellor, but there
would only be one president who
would be chief executive of the
two institutions but be responsi-
ble to the single board of trustees.

The recommendations require
legislation from the General As-
sembly to be enacted.

The committee vetoed five
other proposals for the U of L
problem, and set one aside as an
alternative. The report, however,
has no binding power.

If the proposal were adopted
by the legislature, Mr. Nunn
would seemingly have the power
to appoint an all new board of
trustees, which in turn would
pick a president.

U of L president Dr. Philip
Davidson has announced his re»
signation efiective next Septem-
ber. ' .

What happens to Dr. Oswald,
what happens to the sisterhood
proposal, and what happens to
the future of the University to a
large degree depend on Mr. Louie
B. Nunn, first Republican gover-
nor elected in the state of Ken-
tucky since 1931.

Thirty, Mister Sullivan

Standing in a bufiet line atasport’s banquet once a Kernel
reporter asked Claude Sullivan about the amount of advance
[reparation required for his fluid verbalization of an athletic
event.

He began his explanation of the Sullivan System as they
progressed through the line. Before he could finish, the lum—
inaries at the head table began shouting to him “come up
here and sit at the head table, Claude, up here with us."
, In polite response to their invitations Mr. Sullivan said:
“Thank you, thank you very much, but I must talk with
my young friend here, about broadcasting."

He did not know the reporter’s name then, or ever, but
he sat at a lower table and answered all questions. Subse—
quently the Kernel reporter found himself in a broadcast—
related job. Due to the vagaries of spotters, the reporter
found it easier and faster to implement part of the Sullivan
System: memorization of the names and numbers of the play-
ers on the visiting team.

Mr. Sullivan pointed out that watching the visiting team
players during pregame warmup reinforced the memorization
process.

Prior to the start of the game our reporter used to stop by 1%.“? 31.
Mr. Sullivan’s chair to ask who would start for the visiting figm/
team. Mr. Sullivan always knew; often it seemed with more *4"

   

 

 

 

 

conviction than the visiting team’s coach. ,,

would be wearing a number other than the one indicated U 31 {Zflfia i l

 

 

in the program; or note that a player hadn’t made the trip
with the team; or assert that another player definitely would
not play.

Mr. Sullivan took the time—pleasantly, gladly, and often,

News Service to be established

By DAVID HOLWEBK

It is hard to imagine a Presidential
Press Conference. The President of the
United States is a man whose office and
business, for whatever reason, is alien-
ated from the rest of us. So, too,‘is the
life of the Washington correspondent to a
mjor news outlet. But, judging from the
content of recent national news confer—
ences, we rmy expect this someday soon:

“Mah fellah' Mericans. The free and in-
dependant press of this nation has al—
ways been a source of great pride to me.
'It is for that reason that, with great pride
in my heart, I declare the week of Jan'ary
eleventh through the eighteenth to be
"Free And Independent Press Week" in
the United States of America.

”This should be a source of ge-rate
pride to all ‘Mericans both here and
abroad: That our press is free to print
anything that it can find out.

”It is for this reason that Iam send—
ing to Congress a bill—authorizing an
appropriation of fourteen-point-five bil-
lion dollars for the establishment of a
new national information service, to be
known as TAYS, standing for ”Tell All
You Son-of a Guns."

”It'll tell ”All You Son of-a Cuns"
all you need to know about anything.

. In this fashion we can keep the free and

independent press of this nation Free,
Independent, and Properly Informed."

Sophomore Animal Science Major

Kentucky’s Blue Grass area has been
known for many years as the horse cen-
ter of the world. It still ranks as number
one among the ever-advancing states of
California, Florida, and Maryland in top
thoroughbred production, but these and
other states are becoming greater and
greater competition for the Common-
wealth's largest industry.

It seem that the breeding and racing
stables of the area are moving to other
states, or are at least starting branch
stables in other places. lf this emigra-
tion continues, Kentucky is certainto drop
its crown position on the equine totem
pole, and may eventually lose its larg-
est source of income.

Maine Chance farm could play an im-
portant role in preventing Kentucky's
horsemen from moving elsewhere. Hex
Ellsworth's plan of starting a jockey
training school and thoroughbred sales
business on the land would surely help
to retain the existing stables, and prob—
ably would bring other horsemen -owners,
trainers, breeders, jockeys, etc—to the
Blue Grass as well.

But Mr. Ellsworth's ideas may never
be realized, since the ever-growing Uni-
versity was high bidder on the Maine
Chance property. University ofiicials
stated that the beautifully-developed horse
farm was needed for expansion of agri-
cultural research and protection of their
investments of Spindletop and Cold—
streamfarms.

If UK does retain possession of the
Maine Chance land (acquisition of the
deed has been made by the University,
but there is still some disagreement over
the purchase), development of the farm
for research purposes would be appro-
priate.

But the type of research that is started
and maintained on Maine Chance could
have a bearing on the future ofKentucky's
horse industry. The University's present
agricultural research should be achieved
on the unused 600 acres of Spindletop.
The already-constructed stables and fen-
ces, and the lush pastureland of Maine
Chance should be utilized for its pre-
vious purpose—horses.

By following in the steps of Maryland-—
which has recently made tremendous ad-
vancement inthe horse industry, and now
ranks among the top five race horse pro—
ducers in the United States—Kentucky
could probably remain first in the horse
world.

John Hopkins University initiated a
horse research program this year, and the
state of Maryland has proposed a Thor-
oughbred training center to train horses

and grooms. Maryland breeders feel that
improvements to the horse industry are
far overdue, and that these two projects
will help to solve some of these prob-
lems.

Maryland also hopes that a greater
number of horsemen and quality horses
will move to the state because of the
improved facilities and research.

With the increased acreage of Maine
Chance farm, the University could easily
start a similar research program. Such an
undertaking would certainly be favored
by Kentucky horsemen, and would en-
able UK students‘who are interested in
working with horses to further their edu-
cation. At the same time, these people
would be helping the Commonwealth and
the world in equine research.

Many young people have come to
Kentucky to study horses and horseman-
ship, but have found the curriculum of-
fered at the University to be inferior to
what they expected. Several of these stu-
dents even left the state in order to study
where they felt that they could acquire
a better education than is available at
the University.

An equine research center would tend
to persuade those who may otherwise
seek more attractive facilities elsewhere to
remain in Kentucky. Upon graduation, an-
imal science students, who have majored
in horse research or have otherwise used
the facilities of a commendable research
center, would be sought by Kentucky
horsemen, and thus would be more likely
to remain in the area.

The increased number of qualified per-
sons would surely up-grade Kentucky's
horse industry, and horsemen would be
more likely to train, breed, and race their
valuable stock where abundant and ex-
perienced help was available.

The advantages of an equine research
center on Maine Chance farm can hardly
be overlooked by the citizens ofKentuckv.
and especially by those who are associated
in any way with the horse industry. Stu-
dents interested in horses could receive
the education that they seek, and at the
same time work with the animals that
have won the hearts of so many and
nude the Blue Grass the well-respected
area that it has become.

To ruin one of Kentucky's finest horse
farms with other animal research would
be like building skyscrapers and express-
ways throughout our national parks, and
would injure Lexington's reputation as
"The Horse Capital of the World."

Let's maintain the famous image of
the Commonwealth, and take steps in
the right direction to preserve the "Pride
of the Blue Grass."
