By DAHLIA HAYS

Kernel Staff Writer
"Down with The Kernel" buttons are
to go on sale today for 10 cents. They
will be sold by members of the Young
Americans for Freedom (YAF), who are
also circulating a second
petition.
YAF President William Zell said Sunday that placing the Kernel on a subscription basis is the first project of the
d
group.
The petition proposes to remove the
part of the student activity fee that covers
anti-Kern- el

newly-organize-

subscription to the Kernel, referring to this
money as "involuntary subscriptions"
which "amount to enforced subsidization of journalism students by the rest
of the student body."
It accuses the Kernel of "unprofessional biased, irresponsible conduct" and
states that it is "nin by a small closed
group" and is therefore "totally unrepresentative of andor responsive to the views
and wishes of the overwhelming majority
of students and faculty."
More specifically, the Kernel has, according to the petition, "editorialized in

the news columns; published as 'facts'

mere opinions; published, with reckless
abandon, vicious and libelous statements
and denied those so attacked the full
right of reply, while refusing to retract
or apologize even for the most flagrant
and obvious wrongs."
The petition will be circulated among
students, faculty, employes and graduates
of the University and their wives, husbands, and parents, according to a statement on the petition.
Money for "Down with the Kernel"
buttons was obtained from a fund left

to YAF by another YAF group active on
campus several years ago. The buttons
are being sold at cost price.
"Down with the Kernel" is only one
YAF slogan. Others include "Stop the
Presses" and "Rip 'em up, tear 'em
up; we don't want the Kernel."
The Kernel has been unable, despite
several attempts, to learn of the progress
of the first petition and of the petitioners'
intentions, although the petitions have
been widely circulated and apparently
have collected a number of signatures.

But that was what Sal Mineo day was
for for people to break loose and feel once
again their youthful exuberance.
Interview With Jesus
The mood was quiet at one point when
a dramatized "interview" with Jesus was
conducted on the morality of the war in
Vietnam. The interview was conducted above
the back round music provided by a whining
sitar (yes, live in Lexington) and a quiet,
rhythmic tabla drum beat.
A livelier "religious experience" was provided by the reading of a prayer to the tune
of two freaked-ou-t
guitars. Most of the words
were indistinguishable,
but the message
seemed to flow, regardless.

Arlo Learned Very Little
From His Father, Woody
By JOHN POLK

ME Editor
It seems appropriate to reveal
what I conceive to be my biases
in the field of contemporary rock
in my first review. Thesecanbest
be displayed by revealing my
preferences. The most important
albums of the year to me are
The Band's "Music from Big
Pink," Judy Collins' "Wildflow-ers,- "
Bob Dylan's "John Wesley
Harding," and Van Dyke Parks'
"Song Cycle."
What the artists involved in
these albums have in common
is openness. They are willing
to confront the listener and attempt to communicate with him.
There is no evasiveness and there
are few tricks. In addition, they
have feel. This approximate taste,
and seems to amount to knowing when to and when not to.
Of course, these things only
become important after one's reaction to the tune, lyrics, voices,
and instruments is favorable.

Woody. It is apparent from Arlo's
second album that he didn't.
Woody Guthrie had a simple,
direct way of relating his experiences and attitudes in song.
However, a strong statement and
a lingering melody often emerged
from his simplicity. While Arlo
seems to have inherited the simplicity, his melodies are forgettable and his statements aresopho-moriHe is young, but he is
cutting solo albums.
Past Creative Peak?
The success of his first album
can be attributed to the title
tune, "Alice's Restaurant," a
long, rambling, talking blues
with a catchy chorus. It was
funny and timely with a descrip

tion of his draft physical. His
second album leads one to believe
that he reached a creative peak
with the first.
The best song on the album
is an old country favorite by
Ernest Tubb, "Try Me One More
Time." Arlo succeeds in destroying it by using it as a parody.
In "Meditation (Wave upon
Wave)," Arlo shows us that he
is aware of the Indian influence
on contemporary western music.
Unfortunately, the song is good
evidence for the argument that
such music should be left to the
Indians or those willing to study
it seriously. His other original
songs are easily forgotten and,
frankly, I don't remember them.

The University Student Advisory
Committee (US AC) has served notice that it will not allow the
Kernel to cover its meetings because of the. "misquotes and inaccuracies" made by journalists.
USAC says, however, it will call
the Kernel when anything "newsworthy" is decided upon.
Because it is one of the most
productive and substantial groups
on campus, we feel students have
the right to be kept informed of
USAC'S activities. USAC already
has come up with a
plan for a major and much needed
overhaul of the University's advis-er- y
system. For this we offer commendation.
well-conceiv-

USAC is guilty "of the worst ldnd
of news management.
A newspaper which serves the
function of keeping students informed of campus events must reserve the right to make its own
news judgements. The alternative
is only inaccurate news coverage
without relative news perspective.
The Kernel realizes it has been
guilty of its share of mistakes, although many of these are the fault
of innacurate news sources. Nevertheless, despite a certain number of
"inaccuracies," the Kernel feels its
reporting basically reflects what is
j happening.
Otherwise, we wouIcT:
not continue publishing.
The precedent set by a group1 s
refusing to allow its meetings to be
covered other than as it chooses'
obviously is dangerous. But, for an
organization set up specifically to'
serve students, this policy is conv
pletely unacceptable.

ed

But for USAC'S news policies we
'must register disapproval. By not
allowing the Kernel to cover meetings and calling only when it feels
it is ready to report something.
j

Kernel Forum: the readers write
To the Editor of the Kernel:
I will agree with Mr. Turner that
the songs "We Shall Overcome," "Yankee
Doodle," "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon
You," "America," and "The Battle Hymn
of the Republic" have no logical reason
for Student Government to request they
be played at future athletic events. But
neither does "Dixie." Which was our
point, Mr. Turner. I'm sorry you didn't
understand that, I would gladly' have'
explained it to you.
Contrary to your opinion Mr. Turner,
we remain Students for Action and Responsibility. The bills and resolutions our
members have introduced have been:
RESOLUTION No. 1968-0-2 which comfor elect ives.
mands pass-fa- il
RESOLUTION No. 1968-0- 4 which defines the relationship of the UK Advisory
Committee and Student Government.
RESOLUTION No. 1968-0-3 which says
that the Student Government in order to
insure freedom of the press, stands forcefully opposed to any attempt to interfere,
with the Kernel from external sources or
through internal pressures.
S.G. Bill No. 1968-1- 0 which instructs
the Ombudsman to make a full investiga- -'
tion of complaints of high costs in the
University Sundry Shop in the Complex.
which requests
S.G. Bill No. 1968-1-1
that the senior Ombudsman be payed

on any student.

But there are more important matters
which require that all Students show
Action and Responsibility. To this our
party SAR has pledged itself, we invite
all students to do likewise.
Robert Duncan
Student Government Rep.

the Editor of the Kernel:
It seems that in this day and age the
members of our society have become
overly anxious to sign a petition or slap
on a button in opposition to an already
established institution. They do this so
many times with little examination or
verification of why they are opposed; also,
To

t

they offer few rational examples to correct the problems at hand.
The University of Kentucky community
endorsing the "Dissatisfied with the KERNEL" petition are guilty of such a charge.
First of all, many of the petitioners have
little authority to decide what is good
Journalism and what is not. Secondly,
they are not familiar with the composition, policies, and restrictions of a staff
of such a paper. And finally, above all,
they fail to realize a newspaper does
not operate simply as a tool of publicity for each member of its readership.
By no clioice of its own, the KERNEL
has a limited number of pages for its
daily issues. Therefore, the stories the
editors clioose to run are understandably
those involving events that will have the
greatest affect on the greatest number
of readers. Feature articles are written
on the more unique happenings rather
than in gossip column tones.
Many different kinds of people compose
the KERNEL staff. Each day of the
week, a different assistant managing tli-- '
tor decides the next day's KERNEL con-- i
tent.
One of the most frequent gripes of
set is that the paper

respect he has for lumself. It seems to
me that such a moment has arrived for
many of us her,e at the University of Kentucky.
Certain persons, both on campus and
off, are evidently strongly opposed to what
is represented by this or any other university, with its traditions of freedom of
thought and critical inquiry. However,
since these individuals apparently find it
difficuly or risky, or imprudent to attack the really "guilty" ones, i.e., the
faculty, they have recently turned all
their guns on the most exposed and presumably most defenseless target on cam-'pu- s,
the Kernel and its student editors.
During the five years I have been
on the faculty here, the Kernel has been
an extraordinary student newspaper, by
any objective standards. The national
awards it has won are ample testimony
to the esteem it enjoys in professional
circles, and one only has to compare
its style, content, accuracy, intelligence,
and lack of bias with that of certain
extra-murperiodicals to see what an
abyss separates quality journalism (even
if it is the product of "children") from
claptrap. The threats of certain undergraduate leaders and of certain
individuals to cut off funds if the
Kernel doesn't "behave" remind meof the
attitudes of some parents, who feel that
an allowance (or a contribution for sc!ol
expenses) gives them an absolute right
to dictate to their children what their
lives shall be. A really concerned and lov

'
ing parent gives his children an' allowance and an education not to liold them'
in bondage, but rather to help them become free and responsible adults. '

.

It may be that a majority of the students on this campus are Creek Neanderthals for whom "news" is the name of
the latest House Queen, and whose idea
of a university centers on the right to
get drunk and vomit Dixie at football
games . . . But I don't think so. Neither
do I think that a majority of the students
here are the tortured and restless members of SDS, or even the perceptive intellectuals who help run the Kernel. The
bulk of our student body lies somewhere

between these extremes. Taken as a whole,
I think our young people are basically
a bit less prejudiced and unkind than
their parents, a bit more aware of the
currents and ideas that are so rapidly
reshaping our modem world, and a bit
less inclined to view all suggestions for
change as madness or treason.

However, a majority of students like
a majority of adults usually do net think
seriously about certain types of problems
unless these problems are brought to their
attention more or less forcefully. It seems
to me that the role of the Kernel, particularly on its editorial page, is percisely
to provoke thought, reactions, and intelligent discussion among its readers
on a variety of subjects, particularly tliose
which directly affect the students. In its
own way, the Kernel has a very important
part to play in the educational process.

If cert ain students here don t like some
of the positions the paper takes, let them
think out the reasons for their opposition
and submit them as part of an intellectual discussion-- to
the Kernel Forum.
Those of us who support the Kernel
sltould do likewise, for if we don't take
the time and effort to do so, the negative voices will soon monopolize the conversation (as they seem to be doing now),
and we run the serious risk of killing
the vital organ we admire, by inaction.
As for those
critics, may I suggest that they come with their complaints
to the Faculty Senate. I believe my colleagues there will give them a warm welcome.
