She said that, except for minor difficulties (like the
ballots not arriving on time), the internal operations

There have been enough volunteer poll workers at
least to get the polls opened and closed on time.
Up until that time, she said there had been only
one complaint to the SG office. This concerned the
ballot make-u- p itself. There were questions about whether to mark to the left or to the right of the candidate's

Poll workers were instructed to tell voters to mark

Problems Not 'Un solvable'
Apparently any other problems were taken care of

un solvable problems.
Voters' comments at the polls were often candid.

One voter said there were no controversial issues
in this election, as in "previous elections" in which
she has voted. She said, "This year the campaign has
been more oriented to academic issues."
One voter said he is "just as cynical" voting in a
Student Government election this year as in previous
years.

Campaign 'Bland'
One student thought the campaign tins year was
"much more bland" than last year. He said there were
no issues and no controversial candidates.
Someone said, "It's just as much a joke as ever."
Of course, there was the person wl votes for one

One poll worker, voting and working for the first

Poll workers at the library said that the students
seem to be half interested and half apathetic in regard

They commented that most voters do not know 16
candidates for representative. They said, "We've had
two or three people out of 450 vote for 16 candidates."

Focused
Professors Discuss Witchcraft, Lunar Rocks
By ANGELA

MUELLER

Kernel Staff Writer
Witchcraft is popular because man will
not accept ineaninglessness and seeks some
kind of order, Dr. Donald Nugent declared
at Focus '70 Wednesday night.
Dr. Nugent spoke to a group of about
110 persons, but only 25 or 30 of them stayed
to hear Dr. Clifford Cremers discuss the lunar
rocks he and the UK research team are studying.
Dr. Nugent, a history' professor who
teaches a course in witchcraft, presented what
he culkxl an "intellectual, speculative, hypothetical not sensational or scientific" view
of witchcraft.
He said he w as attempting "no impossible
census of covens (bands of witches)" but
was "deducing its (witchcraft's) potential
from its historical context."
Dr. Nugent called "untenable" the view
effort to
of witchcraft as "a

periencing a revival of witchcraft in a ubiquity
of science," he pointed out.

Witchcraft's Relations
Witchcraft is related to the religious and
cultural milieu, and in this era, our culture is
in transition, Dr. Nugent said.
Dr. Nugent listed four cultural conditions
which he said were necessary to support the
witchcraft revival:
A decline of the institution of organized
religion. "Man is a religious animal and if
churches and synagogues do not fulfill man,
he will seek fulfillment without them."
Old idols (secular religions) have lost their
dynamism. Dr. Nugent said; man is emotional
and needs ritual and ceremony; he is in a
spiritual and psychological vacuum because
such old idols as money and patriotism no
longer have the power to inspire.
Humanistic idealism is suffering "battle
fatigue," Dr. Nugent said; such movements
as
were undermined by a
suspicion that the love philosophy was only
skin keep.
A decline of metaphysics.
"Nothing

stress on relevance, but a standard against
which fragile institutions cannot measure."

During a question period following his
talk, Dr. Nugent said his primary concern
is black witchcraft, rather than
white witchcraft, because of black witchcraft's "greater" potential for affecting peo-

appointments of John Y. Brown
Jr., Lexington, and David C.
Scott, Milwaukee, Wis., to the
UK Development Council.
The Development Council is
an organization of business and
professional men who aid the
University on matters relating
to the development of private
gifts for the University.
The board also approved a
new program which would grant
a master of science degree in education with a major in higher
education. The proposal was first
made in May 1969 by the College
of Education, and was studied
and approved by the graduate
faculty and the council of the
University Senate.
In other action, the board approved a resolution commending
Dr. Stuart Forth for his leadership as acting vice president for
student affairs.
Names of several men who
will receive honorary doctors of
law degrees were also released.
The recipients are Dr. Frank
Dickey, executive director of the
National Commission on accrediting and a former UK president;
Dr. Ralph Angelucci, Lexington

Astronaut May Have
Contracted Measles
ces
CAPE KENNEDY, Fla.
that the Apollo 13
mission to the moon could be flown Saturday dimmed Tuesday
night when the space agency announced that astronaut Thomas
K. Mattingly II may be coming down with German measles.
A recheck of blood tests showed that Mattingly
apparently
has no immunity to the disease, to which he and the other Apollo
13 astronauts have been exposed, the report said.
Backup astronaut
Charles Duke came down with the disease Sunday, exposing Mattingly, James A. Lovell Jr. and Fred W. Haise Jr., the prime crewmen with whom he has been in close contact. Earlier in the day,
the Manned Spacecraft Center medical team at Houston reported
that blood tests of the crewmen indicated all showed some immunity to the disease.
But Dr. Charles Berry, the astronauts' personal physician,
said this may have meant that Mattingly and Haise, who had
shown no immunity in an earlier test, might actually be coming down with the disease.
A recheck of the blood samples Tuesday night, however, showed
that Mattingly had no immunity. New samples were taken and
flown to Houston for analysis.
Dr. Berry said earlier that there was a possibility either Mattingly or Haise could come down with measles by Thursday.
This would mean a month's postponement of the flight to the
rugged highlands of the moon until May 9, the next favorable
date. Saturday is the only favorable day in April to aim for .the
desired landing site in the Era Mauro region.
Astronaut Lovell was reported immune to German "measles.
In Tuesday's first report, Berry said Mattingly and Haise showed
no immunity in tests made 26 days ago. Tests made after their
antiexposure showed a "satisfactory" level of disease-fightin- g
bodies.
This could have resulted, he explained, from their exposure,
or it could indicate they were developing symptoms of the disease.

* Why Stop A William Kimstler?
There are many who say that
men like William Kunstler are out
to destroy the system of justice on
which this country was founded.
Men who represent the
honorable profession of law would
seek to destroy a person who dares
question the validity of our present
court system.
Since the Chicago riot trial,
Kunstler has met disbarment proceedings and preventive measures
virtually everywhere he has tried
to speak. We wonder if the legal
profession, by its actions against
so-call- ed

Kunstler, is merely trying to silence
a man who, more often than not,
comes embarrassingly close to the

truth.
This is not to say that we wholeheartedly endorse Kunstler's courtroom tactics during the Chicago
fiasco. No court can successfully
function under the vile, abusive
language and basic lack of decorum
often displayed by Kunstler during
the course of the trial. We do say,
however, that Kunstler has some
valid criticisms of the American
court system and deserves to be

r

.

heard. The very reason some objected to Kunstler's speaking at
UK is criticism of the system. During his speech, thelawyer indicated
that the court system was too politically oriented; tactics taken by
some members of the Fayette County Bar Association tend to bear
this out.
Courts in general are coming
under close public scrutiny and
some of the old precepts are daily
being questioned. Supreme Court
nominees, Abe Fortas, Clement
Haynesworth and G. Harold Cars- -

well, have been victims of this
groundswcll against the courts.
Our legal system should not be
immune to criticism; we should
constantly seek to make justice
more blind and impartial. If men
like William Kunstler succeed in
pointing out inequities in our court
system, then they are legitimate
spokesmen and are deserving of an
audience. In the final evaluation,
do men like William Kunstler destroy our court system or do our
court systems spawn men like William Kunstler?

says "beautiful!" The squirrel says,
"Climbing trees must be in the curriculum." Everyone says great. And all the
animals get their little bit in the curriculum and there it is. So every body has to
take every subject, naturally. So what
happens? The bird is making an "A"
in flying, but he has a hell of a time
swimming. And so they keep him after
school to teach him swimming and they
take him away from his time for flying.
And pretty soon he gets his wings all wet,
they're torn to pieces, and he becomes
a lousy flyer. And when he ends up he's

in flying and still making
making a
an "F" in swimming. And the squirrel
can climb a tree like nobody's business,
but they take him away from climbing
trees and they try to make him fly. And
he falls on his
hat all the time.
And he's all battered up and pretty soon
he can't even get up a tree. So he's
makingan "F" in everything. And you
know the valedictorian of the class ended
up being a mentally retarded eel.
Does it sound like your situation? Are
you taking those four semesters of foreign
language and still tripping over your
tongue? Or is your particular hang-u- p
"football physics" (the science of a complete pass) or Biology? If you are not
where you want to be, if you feel that
most of your classroom learning is a w aste
and that it has nothing to do with y our
life, then you do something about it. Don't
just laugh and say, "Ho,w true!" Come to
the Student Center 'at 6:30, Room 113
Thursday April 9th. Come and find out
w hat you can do.

If Mr. C. S. Pope and Mr. K.
ll
and a few others would spend half
as much time contributing to the overall
welfare of this university as they did
they might
writing
contribute maybe a tenth as much as the
JOCKS that they feel are so detrimental
to our society. Because two or three
individuals have been involved in incidents in the last year or so, these brave
young protectors-o- f society have taken it
upon themselves to condemn all JOCKS
as "brutes, vigilantes, meatheads, etc."
These young men have to work twice
as hard as any student on campus. They
have the same class-load- s
as the rest of
the student body, plus they have to spend
four to six hours a day punishing themselves physically in practice, after which
they have to study and then be in the
dorms by curfew. If Mr. Pope and las
buddies would get off their posterior
ends and observe these student-atMete- s
as a whole, I'm sure they would be

shocked. Several of them are doing outstanding work in engineering one of the
hardest curricula on campus. Others stand
out in Law, Medicine, etc. Of course
there are a number of P.E. majors, but
how many others on campus are right
there with them; there's no difference in
percentage. As far as the "incidents" go,
they have been, proportionally, negligible
compared to the percentage of other incidents among the student body. What
we need is more protection from the
drunken Creeks who ride around every
weekend, and more people doing something about characters such as Mr. Pope
and his damn S.D.S. and Student Mobe,
who have been more the cause of people
looking down on this campus than anything I have ever seen. Nothing these
people will ever do will come close to
matching the good will, prestige and
honors brought to this university by the
JOCKS.

I'd advise
it.

Mr.

Pope to think about
