Unfortunately, there are indications that some students will
not let the speech occur without
any incidents. In the past, UK
students have shown an unpleasant unwillingness to hear minority
or contrary viewpoints. Evidence
inciof this was the
dent last year at U.N. Ambassador Arthur Goldberg's visit to campus. More recently, a group of students forced SDS members to
abandon a Student Center booth
where they were trying to create
a dialogue on the Vietnam war.
It is very disconcerting that

students

themselves who proved to be most
reluctant to allow others free expression of opinions. This abridgement of free speech can find no
excuse.
Had the students opposing the
right of free speech merely disagreed with the minority groups
viewpoint, they should have made
use of their privilege to give counter marches or make counter
speeches. Hut instead, they seem
mure intent on surpressing the
minority viewpoint, and would
only register their opinions indirect
opposition to the minority voice.
The past incidents indicate freedom of speech, in fact, closely
guarded by the majority, but only
for the majority.
If UK students maintain this

preconceived
Thursday, there is little purpose
in Washburn's speech. As Washburn sees it, his purpose is to
irritate students. Hopefully, students will extend Washburn the
courtesy of free speech, and if
irritated, will mount the same
podium to give a rebuttal.

Stimulating Thought
The Student Center Board forum committee is to be commended for bringing civil rights
leader James Meredith to the campus for an address Tuesday.
That the appearance of Meredith was of interest to the University

community

was

made

'evident by the capacity audience
on hand in the Student Center
Ballroom, and by the 106 questions handed Meredith by the audience following the address.
We would like to extend plau-

dits to the forum committee and
encourage other campus groups
to investigate the possibility of
bringing more leading controversial national and international personalities to campus. These speakers and artists should come from
every field and express a wide

range of viewpoints so as to
ulate thought to the fullest.
We realize

a considerable

organization sponsoring a
person. Perhaps this burden
could be overcome if two or more
campus organizations pooled their

resources.
Dr. Frank L. McVey, president
of the University from 1917 to
1940, said, "A University is a place,
it is a spirit. It is men of learning;
it is a collection of books; it is
laboratories where work in science
goes forward; it is the source of
teaching of the beauties of literature and the arts; it is a center
where ambitious youth gathers to
learns; it protects the tradition,
honors the new and tests its
values
It was with this idea that James
Meredith was invited to UK.

neauer ieiiies crisis

To the Editor of the Kernel:
The crisis in free speech that
supposedly exists at the University
has been largely created by the Kernel. In your front page editorial
and in a later report on the Student Center Board meeting of Oct.
3, you have shown a definite disregard for the facts.
At the time you were charging the Student Center Board with
denying free speech to student Brad
Washburn, the forum committee of
the Student Center Board was discussing and planning a format to
sponsor Washburn and other interested speakers.

chairman of the forum committee, I was not consulted by any
member of the Kernel staff, nor
was any other member of the Student Center Board, in regard to
this matter.

A Reminder
Students in Kentucky are at- -'
forded a rare privilege and unusual responsibility with the Commonwealth's minimum voting age
of 18 years. Their voice, thousands
strong, is capable of being a heavy
pendulum on November 8 in the
approval or defeat on the revised
Kentucky Constitution. Equally
important is their selection of a
U.S. senator for a six year term.
The deadline for requesting an
absentee ballot is October 20. Applications must be notarized and
sent to the county clerk in the
applicant's home county.
If approved, the ballot, along
with a return envelope addressed
to the county clerk, will be mailed
to the applicant . Completed ballots
must be returned to the county

clerk by 6 p.m. election day.

that as many as possible will lend

elusions of the forum committee,
which, briefly stated, were to provide a service of sponsorship to
those students who desired it in
making speeches of personal opinion.
I announced that a very liberal
format had been set up by my
committee and that we would provide a professor as moderator. Two
Kernel reporters were present at this
meeting, but no mention was made
of my report in your article.
Rather than creating any crisis
in free speech, the Student Center
Board has been working to provide
a service that will aid in free
speech. These facts have been either
ignored or twisted by the Kernel
staff to provide an emotional and
irrational crisis.

Editor's Note: The Kernel did
not charge the Student Center
Board with denying free speech to
Washburn. Rather, it said members
of the Administration were setting
limits on free discussion by interjecting value words and suggesting
that Washburn speak under structured conditions.

Mistrusting The President
By JOSEPH KRAFT

do so
many people, here and in allied
countries, not to mention the
other side, mistrust the President's professions of peaceful intent in Vietnam?
The answer is not that he
is a cunning fellow, given to
playing sly games with reporters. To believe that is to mistake a personal foible for a universal condition. The true answer
is that the special feature of
modern diplomacy breeds a disbelief which can only be dispelled
by unambiguous clarity in the
expression of objectives. That
kind of clarity the President has
not yet shown and, I suspect,
does not feel.
The special feature of modern
diplomacy, of course, is the intrusion of domestic politics. What
