A march to the Fayette County Courthouse, beginning at the
Student Center at 3 p.m., will
be the key event of the Vietnam

War Moratorium at UK, Wednes-

day.

Prior to the march a series of
speakers will appear at the Student Center Crand Ballroom,
where Dr. Robert Sedler of the
College of Law will lead off the
program at 10 a.m.
Sedler will be followed by

gletary, president of the University.
Speaking on issues facing the
University, Dr. Singletary stated
that the proposed merger with
the University ofLouisvilleisone
with which the Board of Trustees
must come to grips. He noted the
question is whether the two universities

should

be

combined

rather than operate as separate
state universities.
Another problem facing the
University in January, he said,
will be the Biennial Budget Request which will be submitted
to the state legislature for approval. Dr. Singletary said UK
needs an additional appropriation of 15 to 18 million dollars
In order "to stand still."
The president added that financial problems are also facing
the University's building program. "There's going to be a
lot of heartbreaks on campus
by people who felt their new
building was next," said Dr.
Singletary, explaining that the
University's $27 million bonding
capacity has been reduced to
$12 million by inflation and high
interest rates.
Dr. Singletary discussed the

role of students on campus by
saying they had a right to be
heard, but they "don't always
have something to say." He
stated that he does not quarrel
with the right of students to
voice protest, but with the right
of students to decide things "uni-

laterally."
Finally, Dr. Singletary said
he does not feel an obligation
"to meet any student, any time,
to discuss anything the student
would like."
The last statement led to a
question by Student Government
representative Steve Bright,
to the difficulty some students have had in meeting with
President Singletary, and to the
refusal of an appointment for
Bright himself by Dr. Single-tary-

secretary.

Dr. Singletary retorted that

Bright "exploited" the issue and
that he did offer to meet with
him later the same night.

President Singletary concluded that many student problems must be handled at a lower
administrative level than the
president's office and that often
a meeting with students would
serve no purpose.

Smooth, Casual, Easy To Care For

Hairstyles Take A Turn For The Better

'N

I-

"I sty le hair for men." But Kirls will have to agree that the classic page boy cut
Don Nichols gave Dianne Moore, UK senior, is just as much for them as for men.
The trend in hair styles today is toward that which is casual and easy to care for,
Retting away from high puffs that tend to droop before you get to class and intricate
curls that require a plastering with hair spray to stay in place.
Smooth is the word that best describes the finished product. It won't get mussed
when the wind blows. The length is short enough to hold a flip or turn under
without getting twisted around the shoulders, yet long enough to put up for special
occasions.
(Left) Before the cut, Dianne's hair was too heavy; because of the length, to
stay in a flip. (Middle Left) The cut itself is shorter in the back, tapering down on
the sides. (Upperright) The hair is rolled with very few curlers, only what is necessary to make the hair fall in place when taken down.
The back is done in pin curls. (Lower left, middle right) The combout consists of brushing the hair with long, heavy strokes, slightly teasing the top to
give some height, and combing into whatever style you want page boy, feather
flip or any other combination. The finished product (lower right) is well, take a look
for yourself.

RCA's Spectra 7046, the

approach based on time

It substitutes a computer
terminal for pencil and paper
and talks to the programmer
as he writes the program,
pointing out mistakes as they
are made.
The Octoputer is the only
computer available today that
has this capability. It's as

works on IBM 360 and other
computer programs as well as

Costs go down. Programs get

* An Enlightened ROTC
For the first time in recent
history the UK Reserve Officers
Training Corps deserves a note of
commendation. The decision not
to require ROTC cadets to wear
their military uniform during tomorrow's War Moratorium constitutes a noteworthy action.
This campus is ruled daily by
interest groups more interested in
perpetuating themselves than in
promoting the welfare of the campus as a whole. The broadness
shown by the ROTC department
is an interesting contrast to this

situation.
It is obvious that the decision
was made in an effort to eliminate
any unnecessary confrontations to
which the cadets might be vulver-ablThere might be an interesting
sidelight to the story, however. It
is entirely conceivable that a majority of the ROTC participants
are in agreement with the Moratorium. This only shows that so

e.

cialization and institutionalization
have not completely canceled individual thought, even in the most
socialized and institutionalized
program on campus.
This event shows that in today's age of bitterness and hate,
it is still possible for two groups
of men equipped with the same set
of facts to draw drastically different inferences from them and remain compatible. This is one of
the beauties of our system: that
those who work for peace through
preparation for war and those who
cannot condone the concept of
armed forces can conceivably work
together to achieve their commonly agreed upon end.

It is hard to rationalize the existence of ROTC. It is even harder
to accept it in the framework of an
academic community. But it is with
the greatest of ease that we appreciate the efforts of the ROTC department this Wednesday.

To Ihe Editor of the Kernel:

g

Jerry Thornton, the young man who
organized and is currently
the Environmental Crisis Seminar, certainly deserves a great deal of credit for
his endeavors and his concern. When
people can attend such a seminar, however, and talk about the population explosion as if it were something lurking
in the wings awaiting its cue to burst
upon some future unwary generation, or
pathetically subscribe to the deadly
mythology that our few remaining "unin-- ;
habited" expanses should be made useful
in the production of food for more and
more people, it's only too clear that we
need perliaps a hundred such seminars
going on at the University of Kentucky.
The world's population, including
ours, has been in a devastating geometric
ascension for decades, and this is the
problem which underlies all others in
our environmental crisis. As for "Wastelands," there is scarcely a minimal area
on the face of the globe which isn't
inhabited. The idea that a patch of land
or a stretch of swamp or a puddle of
water is uninhabited if it doesn't have
people or their devices hacking around
on it or in it, is a direct result of our
infuriating anthropocentric approach to
nature, a giant factor in our hopeless
ecological dilemma. Those "bare, idle"
areas support hundreds of thousands of
on this tiny,
organisms, our
unbelievably limited chunk of real estate.
And as every beginning ecology student
knows, the stability of a community is a
function of its complexity, of its species
diversity. We can extend this to the entire biosphere, the layer of living things
on the surface of planet Earth, and see
all too painfully that each transgression
which nicks and slashes the web of life
simultaneously chops a chunk from the
collective hide of man. Yet instead of
issuing a mandate for the survival of as
many species as possible, whether we find
them useful or harmful, we plod and plow
blandly onward and ignore this basic
spear-headin-

ecological precept.

g

.

There was a time when we could
murder a species here or punch out a
subspecies there and not get too much
direct negative feedback. But that day
is long gone. We've come a long way,
baby, since then, done ourselves proud
in the uncondonuble names of progress
and national pride. We've drained swamps
and dammed rivers, destroyed thousands
of acres of highly diversified forest ecosystems and planted dull so beans in
their stead, extracted worlds of vital minerals from the worried earth and put them
forever out of reach of their natural cy cles,
butchered hundreds of whole species and
brought thousands of others to the brink
of extinction, spewed the execrable garbage of our technology and our greed to

goodbodies.
Ecce, my friend, Homo absurdicus.
The curtain is coming down, with a
whimper.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
"Hey Nigger!"
So goes the friendly greeting from the
Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity house to a
passing black campus policeman. He
stops, backs up, questions the offender,
and then upon leaving hears "Bye Nigger"
this time from a second floor window.
However, where else would you expect
to hear such things but at the citadel
of learning the university; composed,
of course, of tomorrows leaders.
We must also applaud the true brotherhood exhibited by the fraternity as they
protected "their" brothers from the inquiry of the law officers. It's too bad
that the fraternity of man doesn't have
rush here at U of K, it could use a few
more members.
Does this college community dare let
overt racism go uncensured? Will action
be taken at some level (i.e. university,
interfraternity, or Alpha Gamma Rho itself)?

Kernel SoapboxBy DALE MATTHEWS
Even though such things as tomorrow's
War Moratorium aredangerous, this writer
feels that they are worthy of support. The
moratorium is dangerous for one basic
reason: if it caught on, peace could break
out every ten years.
If it may be assumed that peace is not
a bad thing, then one must ask why
there is opposition to those who would
foster it. The answer to this question,
unfortunately, is fear.
We Americans are social children who
fear the boogie-maof change. It makes
no difference if the pressures for change
are left or right wing; we run inevitably
in the opposite direction. Facism, in the
late thirties and early forties in Europe,
was the main force that caused Americans to think kindly of Communist's.
To join the Communist party was the
thing to do In those years. Since the
end of World War II, Americans have
become more and more facist as a result
of the Communist threat. It is a vicious
n

During the course of time the composition andor classification of worldly
things has been looked upon in different
lights. At one point things were thought
to be composed of either fire, air, water
or earth. Then came the atomic theory,
i.e., that everything was composed of
minute particles called atoms.
Now there is even speculation of subatomic particles. Rumor at tlte University
of Kentucky, however, has it that all
matter is composed of concrete; or rapidly
changing toward that state.

circle.

Tomorrow's moratorium has two points
in opposition to the status-quFirst of
all it denounces a war in which we are
currently engaged. Secondly, it is backed,
In part, by elements in our society which
are considered extreme. Let us examine
those two points.
The war. in Vietnam Is a bad situation which we must face. And bombing
Hanoi will not solve the problem. That we
could win a military victory in Vietnam
is obvious. But that would not solve the
problem. However, there are those in this
country who know only conventional war
o.

X

fare. They fought in Europe and won.
They can not comprehend any other type
of war. Similarly, the soldier today in
Vietnam sees only death and guns, so he
too would like to win and get home.
I can not blame him. But Vietnam is a
game of political chess between Com-

munism and Capatilism, using the Vietnamese as pawns. It should be apparent
by now that the game is a stalemate,
and that knocking the pieces from the
board will not win it.
The second strike against tomorrow's
moratorium is the SDS. This organization's backing of the moratorium vilifies
it in the following way:
"Postulate 1: Communism is bad.
Postulate 2: That which is good for
communism is bad for the U.S. Keeping this in mind, we see also that the
SDS has been lab led Communist. Therefore, since the communist, i.e. SDS, is
backing the War Moratorium, it must
be good for the communist's and thus
bad for us."
It is this good American, plain folk
logic that keeps America what it is today . . . and keeps it from being what
it should be. I would give one word of
warning. Don't fall into this sort of
thinking America, or we will someday conclude that Peace is a communist plot to
undermine our free country.
Wednesday, October 15, is a plea
for peace. Not communist peace, not a
cowards peace of running from Vietnam,
but PEACE. If you can honestly say that
peace is good; period, then forget those
supporters of any organization which you
don t agree with, and support the moratorium for what it stands, for, peace.

WASHINGTON
Nixon declared Monday his
policy in the Vietnam war will
not "be swayed by public demonstrations," and dismissed
Wednesday's planned protests as
nothing new.

The President said he cannot
abandon his policy "merely because of a public demonstration."
He made the statement in a letter
to Randy J. Dicks, a Georgetown
University student, who had challenged his earlier statement.

'Nothing New'
"We are on the road to peace,"
Nixon replied. "On Oct. 15, I understand, many will be simply
saying: 'I am for peace.' I ardently join with all Americans
in working toward that goal."
The President said the administration already knows that
Americans are concerned about
the war, that some consider U.S.
involvement immoral, and that
many want American troops withdrawn at once.
"Therefore, there is nothing
new we can learn from the demonstrations," he said. "The question is whether, in the absence
of any new evidence or any new
arguments, we should be turned
aside from a carefully considered
course."
Pretty Gross
Nixon said it would be "an
act of gross irresponsibility on my
part" to turn away from studied,
policies because
of a public demonstration.
Dick's letter, made public by
the White House, asked Nixon
to reconsider his position on the
moratorium demonstrations. "It
has been my impression that it
is not unwise for the President
of the United States to take note
of the will of the people," the
student wrote.
"There is clear distinction between public opinion and public
demonstrations," Nixon replied.
