NSA, Student Body Heads -

Slie Selective Service Chief

ByPHILSEMAS
WASHINGTON (CPS)—Na—
tional Student Assistant Presi-
dent Ed Schwartz at 9 a.m. Mon-
day filed “a suit on behalf of

,A 7 -.¥

See editorial, page four.

NSA, three other student organi-
zations and 15 student body pres—
idents against Selective Service
Director Lewis B. Hershey.

The suit asks for a court or-
der stopping enforcement of Gen.
Hershey's recent letter to local
draft boards telling them to re-
classify and draft, as soon as
possible, anyone who destroys
or turns in his draft card or
who participates in demonstra-
tions aimed at blocking induc-
tion centers or military recruit—
ers.
The suit follows a group of
four others filed by the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union in be-
half of individuals who have been
reclassified under Gen. Hershey's

order. Schwartz says he has been
told by the ACLU that the stu-

dent case is more significant be

cause "It is a wholesale attack
at the source of the unconstitu-
tional order."

In addition to NSA, organi-
zations filing suit are Students
for a Democratic Society, Cam-
pus Americans for Democratic
Action and the University Christ-
ian Movement. They range in po-
litical views from SDS's ex-
tremely radical stance to more
liberal views taken by the other
three.

Student body presidents,from
such schools as the University of
California at Berkeley, Harvard,
Oberlin College, Newark State
Teachers College and Notre Dame
University, also represent a broad
range of views and types of cam-
puses.

Gen. Hershey could not be
reached for comment Sunday af-
ter Schwartz announced the suit.
His office had previously said he

would have no comment on the
suits filed by the ACLU. When
he first made his order public,
however, he said his actions were
legal. ”The law has been there
all the time, and we are just
encouraging that it be enforced,"
he said.

Gen. Hershey’s letter and
memorandum, sent Oct. 18, gave
two instructions to local draft
boards:

D They should reclassify as eli-
gible for service and draft, as
soon as possible, anyone who has
destroyed or turned in his draft
card.

) They should consider reclas-
sifying and drafting, as soon as
possible, any person who at-
tempts to block induction cen-
ters or military recruiters.

The student suit challenges
both of these orders, although
Schwartz says it will concentrate
on the latter.

The suit alleges that these or—

Protesters Set,

But Navy Men

Fail To Appear

By DARRELL RICE
Navy recruiters scheduled to set up a station on the first floor
of the Student Center had not shown up by 11 a.m. today. They
were to have been the object of an antiwar protest by the Peace

Action roup.

It wa the second time in a row
that the absence of recruiters has
put a dent in the peace group’s
plans. Earlier, recruiters from the
Army Chemical-Biological War-
fare Center failed to show up.

The Peace Action Group had
set up a table next to the one
the Navy recruiters were to have
manned. They passed out liter-
ature, including drafts of their
own position, to students passing
by on the first floor of the Stu-
dent Center.

Literature also was handed to
students entering the building at
the second-level door.

About 25 protesters came and
went this morning.

The protesters at this time
plan to continue their activities
throughout the week. Navy re-
cruiters still may appear, and Ma-
rine recmiters are supposedto set
up a station starting tomorrow.

No Word From Navy

The Placement Service office
said this morning there has been
no ward from the Navy recruit-
ers as to why they had not ap-
peared yet.

Peace Action Group chairman
Bill Allison had no comment
about the recruiters' not appear-
ing.

No picketing was planned by
the group in the protest. Alli~
son said it was mainly designed
to offer to students a different
point of view from that presented
by the recruiters.

The group plans to offer a
draft counseling service in the
Student Center from 1 to 5 p.m.
every day this week through Fri—
day.

A read-in using antiwai ma—

terials and a soapbox forum also
were being planned by the pro-
testers.

But Associate Dean of Stu-
dents Jack Hall informed the
group that these last two acti-
vities could not be held in the
area of the protesters table.

The reason, he saidthis mom—
ing is that Student Center Board
rules prohibit loud speaking in
the area. He said the protesters
would interfere with the televis-
ion lounge and could also cause
the corridor to be blocked if too
many spectators gathered.

No ‘Hawking Wares'

“We want to maintain an
atmosphere that is not one of
hawking wares," Mr. Hall said.
“We would not object to com-
munication to two or thrée peo-
ple, but we would object if it is
to an entire group."

He said he had reserved the
Student Center Theatre for the
group to carry out its forum.

Some members of the group
felt that the theatre location
would interfere with their pur-
pose of communication to stu-
dents planning to talk with the
recruiters.

Bill Eigel, director of the
Student Center Board, told the
group, ”We have to think of the
rights of other people."

He informed the protesters
they could bring their case be
fore the Student Center Board if
they wished. The Board is meet— -
ing at 5:30 p.m. today, Eigel
said.

Allison said the group would
send representatives to the meet-
ing and that it would ”let things
ride" until then.

KIPA Scrutinizes Rupp’s ‘News Manipulation’

GEORGETOWN, Ky.—The Kentucky Intercollegiate
Press Association will look into the current ”news
rmnipulation" by University athletic officials as the
start of its study on the freedoms and responsibilities
of the student press in the state.

”This is an immediate, but just example of suppres-
sion of constitutionally guaranteed freedoms at Kentucky
colleges," a KIPA spokesman said.

The study was established by the group at its fall
convention here this weekend. It was partially sparked
by a program on ”Student Power and the Student

Press in Kentucky." Need for an immediate appraisal
ofthe situation in Kentucky was ”obviously necessary,"
the spokesman said.

One of KIPA‘s purposes is to "provide a vehicle
for unit action in cases where individual papers are
unable to act."

The organization's executive committee also voted
to go on record as favoring student representation on
governing boards of all colleges and universities in
Kentucky.

And it took the first steps toward providing a state-
wide news service for campus papers. KIPA initially
will fumish its members with information and will
plan concerted editorial campaigns on two issues that
may surface at the upcoming session of the General
Assembly: campus speaker bans and student seats on
governing boards.

”The organization has laid the groundwork for what
it sees as its future, a viable coalition of Kentucky cam-
pus newspapers working for their high quality, respon-
sibility and freedom," KIPA President john A. Zeh,
a University journalism senior who presided over the
convention, he said.

The Kernel has charged that UK basketball coach
Adolph Bupp is manipulating news by not allowing
the media access to his players without prior permission.
It also quoted him as disparaging the First Amendment.

Mr. Rupp has singled out The Kernel in his overall ban.

The KIPA study will be affiliated with a similar
but nationwide study by Dr. Dario Politella of the
University of Massachusetts. Dr. Politella spoke at the

meeting, saying that student newspapers across the
country are editorially seeking student power, as well
as covering it objectively on their news pages. He
warned against overplay of the ”vocal minorities."

Dickey Speaks

Another speaker, former Troy State College editor
Gary C. Dickey, told of his expulsion from school for
trying to editorialize against the state legislature con-
trary to a school mling. He has since been vindicated
by a federal court.

Some KIPA delegates felt the Dickey case sounded
like a ”replay" of the situation on their campuses.

The convention also noted the increased need for
scholarships, internships and other encouragement for
high school and college students considering journalism
careers. It welcomed the renewed invitation of Kentucky
Southern College, Louisville, as the site of the April
convention.

Oswald Sees School

Of Natural

Resources

By MARTIN E. WEBB
Pending approval of the University's budget by the state legis-
lature, President John W. Oswald announced Friday night the
possibility of a four-year forestry program for UK.

In an ofi-the-cuff speech at
the annual meeting of the Ken-
tucky-Tennessee section of the
American Society of Foresters,
President Oswald outlined plans
for a proposed School of Natural
Resources. The forestry program
would be the first phase of this
program, he said.

President Oswald paralleled
the University to a product used
by many consumers. ”The peo-
ple in this state are stockhold-
ers in the University," he said,
“and all these consumers are
looking to universities to train
young men and women to try
and answer the problems in their
area."

Listing some of the outstand-
ing aspects Of Kentucky's natural
resources, President Oswald ex-
plained that “our college of agri-
culture has strived to develop
programs in conservation of na-
tural resources. " .

The best possible people are
being brought together he said,
to get the best advice on a new

 

forestry curriculum. “A group
of consultants have studied the
expansion of our forestry pro-
gram."

As a result, he said,the school
eventually would ofler degrees in
wildlife sciences and recreation-
resource management, in addi-
tion to forestry.

"I wish I could announce
that such a prOgram has been
officially launched," he said, but
until the University’s budget is
approved in January official sanc-
tion will have to wait.

If the budget is approved,
President Oswald said he hopes
to begin the program in 1970.
He said this would also require
smoothing the transition for stu-
dents coming from a community
college to enter the forestry pro—
gram.

President Oswald made it
clear that such a program would
not be launched ”unless we were
in a position to finance it ade-
quately."

ders are unconstitutional and vio-
late due process, because they
do not allow for a trial before a
jury, defense counsel and so on.
The suit also says that the sec-
ond Of Gen. Hershey’s orders vio-
lates the very law which he is sup-
posed to be enforcing. It notes
that the act passed by Congress
in June gives certain deferments
including those for students, "as
a matter of statutory right."
Thus, when Gen. Hershey tells
draft boards to take away student
deferments because of protest ac-
tivities, he is violating "the ex-
press will of Congress."
Schwartz also questioned, as
does the suit, Gen. Hershey's
right to use the Selective Service

System to publish dissenters. The
suit says such punishment should
be left to the courts and, Sch-
wartz added, ”The Selective Ser-
vice system has no more right to
punish people than does a public
library."

Local draft boards have al-
ready begun to enforce Gen. Her-
shey's order. Schwartz says he
believes at least 10 students have
been reclassified under the order
already.

Those identified as student
body or student govern ment pres-
idents joining the suit were:

Richard Beahrs, University of
California at Berkeley; Ewart
Brown, Howard University,
Washington; James Evans, Uni-

versity of Houston; Robin Kaye;

Solution To Riots: Where?

By LINDA HARRINGTON

Four students from Boston
College led a panel discussion?
yesterday on equality of oppor-
tunity in American society. The
program, ”Altemative," was held
in the Student Center.

The speakers were Michael
Barton, a junior news editor of
the Boston College Heights;
Charles McLaughlin, a junior,
a member of the Dean's Cabinet;
Kenneth Phalan, a senior, former
president of the Commuter Coun-
cil, and Michael Rahill, a senior,
former editor of the Heights.

Their discussion was divided
into four areas: education, hous-
ing, employment and "re-
ponse."

Each student had studied the
problem of equality of opportun—
ity, particularly in relation to
the American Negro, and got first-
hand experience by working in a
ghetto and coming in contact
with people most affected by the
problem.

They said they found an ”in-
credible amount of white igno-
rance" in searching for possible
solutions and "alternatives to
riots."

In the area of education, the
problem was said to be mainly
one of public education in the
cities.

”In Northern cities, it's
lousy," said Charles McLaugh-
lin. He explained that children
are "funneled tothe schools near—
est their homes and thus there
is a high concentration of poorer

people in one area of the city,
the ghetto."

McLaughlin said a segregated
situation in the school can create
a ”misguided perception of what

the world is all about in this

multiracial society?

A solution to the problem
of poor education, according to
McLaughlin, is to provide more
federal legislation, more progres-
sive legislation on the state level
and more schools on a local level
which draw their students from
a wider attendance area.

The speaker on the area of
employment, Kenneth PhaIOn,
said the employment problem is
still unsolved even if the Negro
has a good education. '

The areas where employment
practices present the biggest
problem are “unions, business
and industry, and action taken
by the federal government,” said
Phalan.

He said some progress has
been made in unions, but the ap-z
prenticeship—training problem,
available only through ”Sponsor-
ship," can still exclude Negroes.

He said the problem in busi-
ness is that “business has taken
a kind of disinterested attitude."

He added that the Equal Em-
ployment Opportunity Commis-
sion has proved "mefiectual" be-
cause it acts only if an individual
complains and any accomplish-
ment takes months or longer.

On the housing problem.
Michael Rahil said the statistics

and figures show that ”property

 

values going down is a myth if
people don't panic."

He said this country has
”failed completely in providing
low-income housing units.” It
has failed, said Rahil, in public
housing, where only temporary
housing has been provided, and
in privately financed low income
housing.

”The only way a private fi-
nancier can make money is to
be a slum lord," said Rahil.

He warned of a need to spend
more money in order to raise the
poverty war from the ”sham”
it is at this time.

”We can pretend this isn't
affecting us until the day the
riots come to our neighborhood.
We can mouth platitudes from
now till Doormday, but if we
don’t decide to do something
we’re going to see civil war,"

he said.

Michael Barton discussed the
feelings of the Negro and what
he is doing to combat ”the over-
whelming feeling of frustration
in ghettos." .

He said he faces a “stone
wall of white ignorance."

Violence, he added, has seem-
ingly been the only solution.
”The attitude of nonviolence
hasn't worked, hasn't affected
white people, and white people
have this power."

Barton said," I don't person-
ally like the idea but you have
to consider the feelings of the
black people that violence is the
only thing that has worked."

Yale’s Brewster Lashes Draft Order

NEW YORK (AP)—Yale Uni-
versity president Kingman Brew—
ster Jr. said Sunday it was “out-
rageous" for Cen. Lewis B. Her-
shey to order immediate induc-
tion of students who actively ob-
struct the draft.

See editorial, page four.

“I think it destroys the whole
notion of military service being
a privilege and an obligation,
not a punishment," Brewster
said. ”I think it bypasses all the
normal administrative protec-
tions of due process of law; I
think it acts as a real damper

on free discussion and dissent.
For all three reasons, it seems
to me absolutely outrageous, a
usurpation of power by Gen.
Hershey."

But, Brewster said in a tel-
evision interview, ”much as I
deplore Cen. Hershey's abuse of
the power of Selective Service,
I don’t think that we'should
give in to the blackmail of dis-
mption in order to prevent stu-
dents from being interviewed by
the people of their choice."

Therefore, he said, Yale would
not follow such universities as
Columbia in postponing on-cam—
pus recruiting.

Hershey’s Directive outrages Yale, o’erleaps UK

Although neither Yale nor the
University will follow Columbia's
policy of banning military recruiters
from campus there is great diver-
gence between the University’ 5 view
and Yale’s view of the latest Her-
shey directive.

General Hershey said that anti-
war protest which is the result of
"illegal activity which interferes
with recruiting or causes refusal of
duty in the military and naval
forces" must make students subject
to immediate induction.

The Yale—UK attitude toward
recruiters encourages and permits
wch group: protester, recruiter, and
student, to have his say and to
hear all sides.

No one has anything to fear
when there is such free, unimpaired
dialogue. _

But while it is nice to be mov-

ing in company with an academic
leader like Yale, it is lamentable
that the University could not view
Hershey's latest directive, aimed
at withdrawing deferments from
student protesters, with the same
outrage as did Yale University Pres-
ident Kingman Brewster:

“I think it [the Hershey direc-
tive] destroys the whole notion
of military Service being a privilege
and an obligation, not a punish-
ment," Brewster said.

“I think it bypasses all the
normal administrative protections
of due process of law; I think it
acts as a real damperon free dis-
cussion and dissent. For all three
reasons, it seems to me absolutely
outrageous, a usurpation of power
by General Hershey."

What a difierence, apparently,
some ivy makes.

Last Friday Robert L. Johnson,

vice president for student affairs
said: "At this time, some of our
students believe that their engag-
ing in peaceful demonstrations or
protests will jeopardize their defer-
ment classification, but we doubt
that any Draft Board would pen-
alize or punish by reclassification
any student who is involved only
in a peaceful and legal protest that
does not interfere with the recruit-
ing process."

Is each draft board to come
and watch each demonstration?
Who equitably distinguishes peace—
ful from illegal?

-Only a court can determine
which antiwar protest activity is
that "illegal activity which inter-
feres with recruiting, or causes re-
fusal of duty in the military and
national forces."

Without some fair, national

Letters to the Editor: the readers

To The Editor (X The Kernel:

There has been a lot of disappoint-
ment and discontent among students
caused by the University's policies on
the distribution (1 tickets for basketball
games. Supposedly, students could pick
up tickets on Tuesday, Wednesday or
Thursday, but many students desiring
tickets were not able to obtain any on
Wednesday because they had all been
given out on Tuesday.

The new policy of giving out tickets
for three games at a time allows those
students who were able to go early enough
to obtain tickets to see all three games,
while those who were unable to pick up
tickets on Tuesday will miss the first
and only three home games of this se-
mester.

Moreover, students with tickets who
later decide not to attend one or more
d the games will deprive other students
from seeing the games.

Thus, the University should, ifat all,
distribute tickets for one game at a time,

Your editor, Bill Knapp, nude a short
”impromptu talk" the other night due

to the lateness of political analyst Drew .

Pearson. And it may be that the speech
was a little too impromptu. Perhaps
he should have given more thought to
the statements he made on that occasion.

Knapp made one statement that typi-
fied his biggest failure as editor of The
Kernel. He told the crowd that he had
no interest whatsoever in "drumming up
crowds" for campus events.

He added that his job was only to
”report the news." Quite frankly I don't
believe our illustrious editor knows what
”news" is on the University campus.

He said few people know what news
is, but he should have included himself
in that group.

I am not a newspaperman, but I am
a. newsman, and I've been at the Uni-

verStty.‘ of Kentucky long enough towed:

the old policy of adultting stu- ‘

dents who present I.D.'s at the Coli-‘

seum seerm a better solution.

To The Editor 01' The Kernel:

Mr. David Holwerk has referred to the
“Salem Puritans dispoding) of their
witches in a pyre" and the "burning
at Salem (of witches)" in a recent ar-
ticle, "Flames inthe Paddies," which
was published on the 29th of November.
I wish to correct an oversight on the
part of the author.

”Salem is the place were no witches
were bumed, they were hanged.
Please remember that."‘

Why, ifn it wuzn't for all these kindly

with some experience (3% years). The
fact is that Knapp is trying to run The
Kernel like a commercial newspaper ra-
ther than a student neWSpaper.

I think Mr. Knapp must be suffering
from delusions of grandeur. He goes on
the assumption that UK students do not
have access to the Louisville Courier—
joumal, The Lexington Herald or Leader,
or some other home-town newspaper.

I think that assumption is wrong.
Quite a few students do have access to
these papers. Those that do not probably
aren't interested in the news of Lexing-
ton and Kentucky anyway.

Moreover, by the time The Kernel
comes out (about 5:30) this news has
been reported all day by the press and
for all practical purposes, is ”old news."

Just the other day, I read four stories
on the front page of The Kernel at night,
that I had read in the CourierJournal

at..8_:m um morning. Needle“ 39 we

Regarding the current debate on the
social situation at UK, I have a few
comments to add from the male view-
point. There seem to be three areas of
controversy: seeing a girlnmeeting a girl,
and dating a girl. ‘

Let's face reality when it comes to
physical appearance. The first thing that
