Cen. John N. Mitchell labeled
terrorist bombings Thursday as
the work of "maniacs," and said
that although a. number of organized groups may be involved,
there is no "single, unified effort" directing them.
Briefing newsmen on discussions with officials from nine
Midwestern cities where bombings have occurred recently,
Mitchell said he thinks the terrorist activity can be curbed
through restricting access to explosives and stiffening penalties
for their illegal use.
"Certainly there are a limited number of these maniacs,"
Mitchell said. "As they are incarcerated, they will be taken
off the scene."
Mayor William Dyke of Madison, Wis., where an explosion at
the University of Wisconsin's
Army Mathematics Research
Center claimed one life and destroyed valuable research data
last month, was pessimistic about
the short run, however.
"I see no reason' Dyke said,
"to be optimistic about the forthcoming semester. I see no reason
for any campus to be optimistic
about this fall."
Mitchell, Dyke and Mayor
Eugene A. Leahy of Omaha,
Neb., acting as spokesmen for
the federal and local officials
who met in Mitchell's office,
agreed that closer cooperation
between federal, state and local
law enforcement agencies can
be achieved.

Doctor Calls for Cure for Anemic Health System
By MARY ANN BACHMAN

Kernel Staff Writer
A New York doctor told an
audience at the UK Medical Center lasj night that the nation's
health system is losing its concern for people in its anxiety to
make money.
Dr. Ollie Fein spoke informally before a group of about 30
people in a Medical Center classroom. Dr. Fein, who is one of
nine people connected with the
Health Policy Advisory Center
located in New

York, was brought to UK by the

He divided the country's
health system into two forces-indiviand corporate. Under
"individual," he listed health
workers, unions, patients, and
community forces. Under"corpo-rate,- "
he placed hospitals, hospital supply companies, the pharmaceutical industry, and health
insurance companies.
Profit System Won't Serve
In short, he said, the individual forces are "people-ori- -

He suggested that the federal
government dispense to areas the

But the machine has its flaws. Agricultural scientists' are still
trying to develop a cucumber that would be compatible with the
harvesting machine. Max Fogellman, a UK horticulture student,
is attempting to breed a "dwarf plant" which will be compact
enough to be reaped by the harvester. Such a plant would enable
farmers to grow 50,000-60,00- 0
plants per acre, compared with the
present growth of 20,000 plants per acre.

To complicate matters, all plants must ripen at the same time,
since the machine destroys the entire plant when it harvests it.
Fogellman said the stems of the plant must also break off at the
end of the cucumber to be reaped properly. He has to accomplish
all this in his experiments, and still maintain the fruit's taste and
texture.

* Quality of Education
In Kentucky's Schools
There was a depressing little
story out of Frankfort in the paper

the other day. It dealt with a suggestion to the State Board of Education. California has adopted a
system which requires that a boy
or girl must be able to read at the
eighth grade level before earning
a high school diploma. Somebody
proposed that Kentucky might follow suit.
Impossible, replied
of the Kentucky school administrators consulted. California is asking
that a youngster be not more than
four years behind his grade level
in the basic skill of reading. In
Kentucky, it was argued, we could
not require a high school senior
e
to operate at more than a
standard of reading, or six
years behind his age group.
Some of the comments were
distressingly revealing. One educator rejected the eighth grade proposal "unless we are ready to say
that our only purpose is to prepare
youngsters for college, and I am
not." ; Certainly there are young
Kentuckians who should not undertake college work, many of whom
would benefit more from vocational
training. The trouble is that in an
age of skilled training in every field
of endeavor, the boy or girl who
can't read well enough to follow
instructions and learn new methods
is handicapped for life.
Another educator commented:
"If we give assistance, and enough
of it, they will have achieved the
reading level of eighth grade before
they are seniors. If they haven't
then most of them have become
two-thir-

ds

sixth-grad-

dropouts."

This amounts to saying that a

sizeable proportion of Kentucky
youngsters are just too dumb to
learn to read easily by the methods we are using. And lest it be
thought by anyone that this is a
race problem, it is well to recall
that Kentucky has a black population of only about seven percent.
Must Kentuckians settle for such
a depressing prospect? The U.S.
Office of Education has admitted
that
of our children have
"significant reading difficulties."
Former Education Commissioner
James E. Allen, Jr. announced a
year ago that by the end of the
Seventies, every American child
should be assured "the right to
read." Mrs. Richard M. Nixon was
to help lead such a crusade. Nothing has been heard of the project
one-four- th

since, however.

The fatalistic attitude of so many
educators is the most disheartening factor of all. They are telling
us that they just can't be expected
to teach more than three out of four
young Americans to read with any
competence. Are we willing to accept such an excuse?
Perhaps there is just a gleam
of light on the horizon. In some
school districts, commercial organizations have contracted to teach
reading by their own methods, with
a penalty to be paid for every
normal child who fails to learn.
Henry Poague, Jr. of Ft. Thomas,
a State Board of Education member, has asked the department's
staff to inquire how our reading
performance could be improved.
Here is at least one lead that should
be vigorously explored.
THE COVRIER-JOVBNAL

Kernel Soapbox
The Case for Violent Revolution
-

By GARY DAVIS
EDITOR'S NOTE: The remainder of Gary
Davis' soapbox will appear in the next
issue of the Kernel.
"Brothers, let us see the Truth!"
or so the saying may go, and alas, we
now have at UK the one organization
that will give us that truth: Student
Coalition. Or do we? They are sure they
speak for the majority without evidence
of a student survey or referendum vote.
They posit the autonomy of the administration (Kernel, Sept. 15, p. 6, column
B, paragraph 3) and yet support administrative student policy positions (same
prgh.) and, even further, threaten to obtain
a court injunction if the "autonomous"
administration closes the University (p.C,
col. 4, prgh. 1).
Needless to say, one of the more important intentions of SC is to promote
communication; this can be significantly
facilitated by attempts to sway campus
activists to the SC position. Such communication is certainly promoted by
speaking of the May demonstrations as
"public grandstanding" and 'parading.'
They condemn the Faculty Senate for
about its own
not being
responsibility in the face of a front page
article to the contrary in the same paper
not to imply at all that SC should have
known about the Faculty Senate meeting
in advance, but one may at least guess
that communication does not include interviewing professors to obtain a consensus of their opinions.
But have I been fair? The above
contradictions in SC should not be allowed to veil their three main objectives,
which are (1) to insure freedom of expression, (2 to insure the primary importance
of academic instruction in the university,

and (3) to respond to the fact that disruptive violence is inherently undesirable.
Concerning the first objective, how can
anyone refute it? How? By pointing out
that freedom is only partially attained by
freedom of expression; the major indication of freedom of speech is an atmosphere
which insures that people will be open-eare- d
to all opinion and hence that people
can afford truth; it assumes not only that
people may express anything responsibly,
but also that they will be met with a
responsible listener.
In a society which is not open to
opinion except through force which is
geared to attain such openness, repressive tactics on the ground of only a
partial admittance of the freedom of speech
cannot be anything but undesirable. One
of the fascinating inadequacies of the
American technocracy is its ingeneous
ability to use some freedoms to prevent
further threats to the system, which would
be unveiled by complete freedom. The
main intent behind the Free Speech Movement, subsequent demonstration and rioting implicitly reveals a society which cannot afford to listen because it is to
a society so disoriented that it
is internally forced to become defensive.
Man must have the freedom to listen
as well as the freedom to speak. But is
this not implicit in SC's second objective? Hardly. Its second objective openly
advocates political apathy (p.6, col. F,
lines
through the implicit assumption that an education can occur apart
from the influence of outside events, that
a student can avoid these events honestly
if given the opportunity and that a university is autonomous. But the university is
not autonomous by SCs own admission
(P. 6, col. B, prgh. 3).

Kernel Forum: the readers vrite
Dear Mr. Nixon
The following is an edited version of
the open letter sent to President Richard
Nixon May 11, 1970 by Miller Upton,
President of Beloit College, Beloit Wisconsin. Unfortunately the entire letter
could not be published due to lack of
space. The complete text may be obtained
by writing Carl Brown co the Kentucky
Kernel.
Dear Mr. President:
I was a conscientious objector
duiing WW II, and were I of draft
age now I would be a conscientious objector again. But my moral
opposition to war, liowever deeply
and conscientiously held, does not
entitle me on any ethical or moral
grounds to take violent action
against those who disagree. I must
bear witness to truth as I see it,
but I must also respect the right
of the other person to do the same.
Being a conscientious objector to
war, I dearly am not opposed to
dissent and protest. But 1 am vigorously opposed to violence in any
form and for any reason, and most
of all I am oposed to would-b- e
leaders capitulating to intimidation
and violence.
Much of the academic community is now telling you liow to
settle the war in Vietnam. I find
it higldy unbecoming of us to presume to ttll you how to fight the
war in Vietnam when we aren't

even able to settle the wars on our
own campuses.
I know that the great bulk of
college students are genuinely concerned about the inhumanity and
futility of war and deeply question
the legitimacy of a life that sanctions
and even glorifies indiscriminate
killing and maiming. I also know
that the great bulk of adults and
members of the establishment are
sincere, dedicated individuals with
the same hopes and aspirations as
the young. The great frustration of
the day is that despite this great
community of interest and concern
there is a growing separation based
upon the sinful tendency to Judge
by stereotype.
I am sure you know, Mr. President, that I do not say these tilings
to placate others, or to defend your
war policies. But when I consider
the whole matter fully and objectively, I have to concede that you
have been more faithful to your
leadership responsibilities than we
In Academe have been to our own.

With respect for the tremendous
burdens you must bear for the rest
of us and the conscientious way
you are bearing them and with
apology for the cruel injustices that
have been foisted upon you by the
professional community of which I
am a part, I remain,

exception to the recent statements of one VV. Moore.

While this has been termed
"the year of revolution" on the
nation's college campuses, it becomes all important that university officials and administrators
be even more mindful of student
dissent and receptive to student
ideas.
This is no truer anywhere
than on the Lexington campus.
Administration-studen- t
relations
have been anything but calm
since President John Oswald departed two years ago.
President A.D. Kirwan entertained the massive double jeopardy protests in spring, 1969 amid
digruntled student feelings. His
lot was his being named eighth
University president by the Board
inof Trustees for his year-lon- g
terim service, but he wouldn't
have been so honored had the
students voted.
Then came President Single-tar- y
and his anonymity and alleged inaccesibility to the student body. Before the year was
ended, he, like Kirwan felt the
pains of student protest, on a
much more serious and dramatic
scale than his predecessor.
Now it is another year and
the most widespread dissent ever
to grip the nation has college
1969-197-

adminstrators

dread'ng the

coming months.
At UK, the key to this administration-student
conflict may
be in the person of Dr. Robert
Zumwinkle, the new vice president for student affairs, the president's direct line to the student
body.
Dr. Zumwinkle carries a list
of credentials which brings an
impressive amount of experience
to his new post.
He has served in similar positions at Eastern Michigan Uni

versity, St. Cloud (Minn.) State
College and the University of
Missouri. In addition, he served
as director of the Institute for
Student Interchange, East-WeCenter, at the University of
Hawaii.

But, unfortunately, experience
alone will not do the job it
intakes to gain
sight into student problems and
to deal with them effectively. A
certain rapport must be created
between Dr. Zumwinkle's office
and the student body.
This rapport was lacking
during Dr. Stuart Forth's interim
tenure in the position. Dr. Forth
seemingly was a student favorite
until he was put in the position
as liaison between student and
administration. Then, when a
problem arose with the gravity
of the Free University controversy
last fall, Forth seemed to lose
the rapport, his cool and everything else in the weeks that followed.
The other ranking student administrator, Dean of Students
Jack Hall, could never gain the
rapport or trust' of the students
from the beginning and was helpless to deal with serious problems
that cropped up.
Dr. Zumwinkle has a tremendous job before him that of
uniting rival factions on the
campus into one smooth-runnin- g
academic machine. If he is to
achieve this, . he must take to
heart a comment he made shortly
after his arrival at UK:
"My hope . . .is to be of assistance in improving the atmosphere and dialogue in the coming
and
year by understanding
making contributions to the problems, issues and unmet needs
of the campus."
It is hoped he will succeed.

By advocating the abolishment of the ROTC program as
a solution to the Vietnam war
and "the present misguided and
evil foreign policy of the United
States Government," Moore is
actually skirting the ROTC issue
with either a logical fallacy or a
Machiavellian ploy. If such logic
is correct, one could extend the
same argument to abolish every
discipline on campus whose research has ultimately led to chemical, biological, psychological,
nuclear and conventional warf are.
This is because the military
ends of any system depend directly upon previous work and research in almost every discipline
though such research may have
had no militaristic foundation. To
extend such a ridiculous argument to gain sympathy for any
issue would be equally a ploy,
in the same Moore manner.
Mr. Moore has not arbitrarily decided that ROTC must go,
but rests his arguments on the
above logical fallacy, and on his
misconception that the military
could not find other means to
recruif sufficient numbers of officers.. The first point can be
satisfactorily dismissed by reasonable people. The second does
not take into account what means
might be available to the military to circumvent an eventual
abolishment of ROTC on all cam
puses.

One method would be to expand the military acadamies and
increase the officer candidate programs. More officers would have
to be selected from equally ineducated
telligent,
men. Another method would be
to increase the incentives for a
military career to an extent that
would make it appealing to college educated men. A combination of the above would undoubtedly result.
Perhaps most ironic of all
possible methods would be the
creation of a Free University
of Military Science at each campus. Here the instructors and
visiting speakers would be military men, or other arch villains.
Military Science scholarships and
credits could then bypass the
university bureaucracy and red
tape and be handled directly by
the Pentagon. Or, if all else fails,
perhaps the militant ROTC students would hold Mr. Moore,
Steve Bright, and Ralph (the St.
Bernard) hostage in the political
science department until their
demands to exist are met.
In all seriousness, the acquisition of
