'Black Power
Is Huddling

For Next Play9
"Black Tower

is like black
in a huddle discussing
their next play. Maybe one day
they're going to break away and
score a touchdown and tie the
score forever." Bill Turner, an
Arts and Sc iences Senior, told the
Christian Student Fellowship
Tuesday night.
Blacks want to keep what is
good and unique about that
culture while becoming a part
of the "multiethnic hole" that
is America, Turner said. "Now
we must be decision makers in
the scheme of things, not just
be the recipients of middle class
white programs begun in the inIK'ople

tegration movement."
Violence is not the concept

of Black Power according to Turner. "The mere arithmetic of
Blacks and Whites just shudders
me." he said. "How can any
thinking Black take up arms in
a military protest? When Stokely
spoke of Black Power and taking
up arms, he meant taking what's
mine, but not through military

chances that Congress will fight
the Johnson administration's recently announced draft policy can
be described in a word they are slim.
(CPS)-T- he

Since the White House an
nounced last Friday that graduate deferments would end and
"oldest-first- "

policy-woul-

be retained, there have
been some protests from Congress. Sen. Edward Kennedy told
a Boston audience Monday that
he was getting ready to submit
a bill calling for basic changes
in the draft laws.
Two New York congressmen
criticized the administration's
new policy on the House floor.
These men, however, are not
in positions to get Congress moving on the draft. The real power
in matters connected with the
military rests with congressmen
like Sen. Richard Russell
and Rep. L. Mendel Rivers
chairmen of the Armed
Services Committees in their respective branches of Congress.
Neither Sen. Russell nor Rep.
Rivers has made any public statements about the new draft policy. An assistant to Mr. Rivers,
however, pointed out that the
policy comes close to the recommendations his committee made
during hearings on the, draft last
year. An aide to Sen. Russell
said as far as he knew the senator had no plans to reconsider
the draft question.
Another crucial figure in the
matter of possible congressional
action on the draft is Rep. F.
Edward Hebert
who
chairs the House's subcommittee
on the draft. Mr. Hebert, according to one of his aides, has been
deluged with mail and wires from
all over the country on the draft
issue, all but one of them opposed to the administration's policy.
Nevertheless, Rep. Hebert is
in accord with the President's
policy. In a statement Tuesday,
after citing some Defense Department statistics to show that only

"While riots are deplorable,
we say 'Man, look, if I can't
have some of the American cherry pie, I'm going to step in it
and nolxxly's going to get it."
Turner cited the
failure of the Blacks to melt
into the American scene. He attributed it in part to the use of
the Black man as an economic
commodity without a separate
identity.
"There is a national emergency today," Turner said. "I'm
not suggesting Black Power as an

alternative. I think the Black

EKU Student Council Votes
Against Compulsory ROTC
By DABRELL RICE
RICHMOND
For the second time within a week, compulsory
ROTC is under attack at a state university. First it was Morehead
State University now it's Eastern Kentucky University.
At a crowded and spirited
Student Council meeting at EKU ident Ron House remarked that
it was the largest group he had

a minority of college graduates
would be taken, he said, "It
would be absolutely intolerable
to continue to insulate graduate
students from the hazards of combat which we require other young
men to face."
He added that college graduates would probably benefit
from spending time in the service.
Besides the opposition of men
like Mr. Hebert to acting on
the draft, there are several other
reasons why Congress is unlikely
to act. Of these, probably the
most significant is that the draft
is a very hot political issue,
particularly when "American
boys" are dying in Vietnam.
As it stands now, both Congress and the White House can
duck the criticism they will be
getting from potential draftees
and their parents by blaming
each other.
President Johnson can say the
Congress is to blame, because it
failed to pass his lottery plan
last year. Congress can say that
the White House has acted, and
that's the end of it.
On the other hand, if an individual member of Congress
starts making noise about the
draft, he will be the target of
every political interest group that
opposes his plan.
t
Most members of Congress,
therefore, seem likely to keep
quiet on the issue. If pressure
for change mounts from
men, from their parents,
and from educators, many congressmen will probably take
refuge behind Defense Department statistics that indicate only

and July, 1969.

around a makeshift altar table, swaying to

The incident, at a University Christian
Movement conference in Cleveland, Ohio,
indicates the approach that youth today
often take toward religion: they go at it
in their own fashion or not at all.
"It's part of their rebellion against
of various kinds," said the
Rev. Dr. H. D. Bollinger of Nashville,
Tenn., director of Methodism's Department
of College and University Religious Life.
"They're fed up with the system."
Many of them, with that same show of
independence, have abandoned formal religious connections.
This antitraditionalisin has thrown many
church youth organizations into a nosedive,
forcing some out of existence. And it is

sharply shrinking rolls of church and Sunday School classes.
Officials widely admit that programmed

call it, is on the downgrade.

sign carried at a student rally at the University of California in Berkeley.
"Never Trust a Cod Over 30," is the
.
title of a new book by Jewish, Catholic and
Protestant chaplains at Columbia University, reflecting the younger generation's

attitude.

Paradoxically, however, there is a youthful religious impulse and it is showing up
in certain ways more strongly than ever
before in conversational coffee houses, in
booming enrollment in college courses in
religion, in social action projects and in
kinds of worship.
"Edge" is the name of a new Lutheran
publication for youths, implying the marg
free-wheeli-

inal zone which many of them occupy in
relation to the official church.
That nebulous border zone, however,
throbs with intellectual-religiou- s
inquiry,
and movements, ranging
experimentation
from the hippie "love power" to Zen meditation to war protests to students tutoring
in the slums.
"This is the questioning generation," said
Dr. Martin Mead, a psychologist and Ford-haUniversity's vice president for student
affairs. 'They want answers to hard theological questions and they want an ethics of
action."
Commented a young man at a recent
meeting in Dallas, of the National Council's Christian Education Division: "We
would love to be part of what the church
says it should be doing. When we see adults
doing those things we will happily join

them."
"The only praying guy they trust is a
praying man on the action front," said the

Bowling At UK

,

By FRANCES DYE
Who was the first secretary
of state under President Wilson?
How many stomachs does a cow
have? And who are the Chicago
Mustangs?
No, those are not some of the
questions on the Graduate Record
Examination.
Those questions
came from the second round of
the UK Quiz Bowl last night.
The second round was lively.
At the first match, the final buzzer failed to sound. People filed
in and out of the Student Center
Theatre shouting out answers.
And without fail, one of the
contestant's response buzzers
continued to ring at w ill.
One of the evening's highlights occurred in the fourth
match. The toss-u- p
question.

"Who was the hero of the novel
'Les Miserables?" was won by
the Les Miserables team.
When the question was read,
the audience roared, believing
the team had the perfect opportunity to score. However, one
member of the Les Miserables
answered "Hunchback of Notre

Dame?"

Quiz Bowl Winners
Winners in Tuesday night's
second round Quiz Bowl matches were Cliff Dwellers, Delta Tau Delta, Les Miserables,
Complex 2, Newman Club,
Naval Academy, Fiji and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Thursday's
third round matches will begin at 6 p.m.

And that is exactly the way

the Health Service people want
it.
Not that they are secret ivc,
but when you have more than
31,000 visits a year and you know
that your patients don't have
time to be sick, you try to treat
them right and treat them quick.
That is what the Health Service does.
Thirteen "full-tim- e
equivalent
physicians" man the Service's
outpatient staff. That doesn't
mean that each of the 13 physicians puts in an eight-hou- r
day.
It means that over twenty physicians divide their time so that

It also means that if the student is hospitalized, his case
will be "followed up" by the
same doctor who first treated
him.
To insure quick treatment,
the Health Service adopted an
IBM filing system last semester.
Each student fills out a medical
history sheet which is fed into
the computer. If he visits the
service again, his physician can
make quick reference to the case.
In addition, each illness has
a numerical designation for the
computer. If a student s ailment
is designated as "influenza-lik- e
disease," 096.9 will be marked
on his card.
If the Health Service feels
there may be a prevalence of
"096.9s," the computer is programmed to count the present
number of cases. Thus, the computer serves to indicate the possibility of an epidemic situation,
or an actual epidemic.
As to the service's effectiveness, Dr. Mulligan reported that
an investigating team from the
University of Michigan visited
UK's Health Service last year.
Their findings? UK's Student
Health Service was "the best
we've seen."
All this and terpin hydrate
too.

Serological cultures from several of the eases have been sent
for analysis. They arc expected
back in a couple of weeks.
If the cultures indicate that
a situation conducive to an epidemic existed on the UK campus,
the Health Service has arrangements with Robert Johnson, vice
president in charge of Student
Affairs, to establish "ad hoe"
clinics around the campus. Preventive innoculations would be
offered to the students, as they
were last semester.
there are always 13 physicians
on duty. Some of the doctors
are also on the faculty; some
attend to private patients; but
all, according to Dr. Jack Mulligan, Health Service director,
consider the Service their primary obligation.
Dr. Mulligan says that UK's
Student Health Service has a
distinct advantage over similar
organizations on other campuses:
UK works in close cooperation
with the Medical Center.
To the student, this insures
him of treatment by a doctor
who is probably a member of
the Medical Center staff. It means
that he need only walk down
the hall to pick up his prescribed
medicine usually supplied free.

Fayette Gmnty Judge Joe
Johnson said yesterday "the University Medical Center has been
a great help" in providing medical care lor indigent persons
and now handles alxnit two-thirof the county's indigent
births.
Judge Johnson made the remark during a talk before Foci,
a UK faculty group.
The judge's talk centered
around his allegation that Fayette Gmnty is operating on a
budget "prescribed by the 1S91
Qmstitution."
He said Fayette County

(ex-

clusive of Lexington) has a population of 85.000, but works on
a budget of only $2.5 million.
Mr. Johnson claimed the county has more residents than. the
city, yet operates on funds roughthose of Lexington.
ly one-fift- h
Judge Johnson's "answer" is
to annex county areas to the city.
The annexation would bring some
county areas under city jurisdiction and eliminate services now
duplicated at county and city
levels.
Annexation could eliminate
the county fire department, the
only one in the, state. Such action
could channel $430,000 into the
dilapidated county welfare program.
"Welfare gets the smallest
share of the count)' budget while
count)' policemen and firemen
have gotten raises in the past
years," added the judge.
In the event of annexation,
suburbanites would face an increase in real estate tax amounting to alioiit $(i0 for eery $10,000
of property. This amount would
be partially offset by the elimination of a garbage removal cost
-- $10 a year.

'Higher Education Needs Help9

LBJ's Education Message To Congress

Following is the text of President Johnson's education message to Congress.
In two centuries, America has
achieved
through great effort
and struggle one major educational advance after another: free
public schooling; the land-gracolleges; the extension of the
universities into the nation's
and homes; the unique
venture that has placed a high
school education within the reach

farms

of every young person.
I believe that our time the
will be remembered
as a time of unprecedented
achievement in American educamid-19G-

tion.
The past four years have been
a time of unparalleled action:
The Congress has approved
more than 40 laws to support
education from the preschool project to the postgraduate laboratory;

The federal government has
raised its investment in educaannualtion to nearly
ly, almost triple the level four
years ago.
The Real Significance
The real significance of what
we have done is reflected, not in
statistics, but in the experiences
of individual Americans, young
and old, whose lives are being
shaped by new educational programs.
Through Head Start, a
encounters a new world
of learning.
Through Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, a disadvantaged youngster finds essential extra help
and school becomes a more rewarding place.
Through the Teacher Corps,
a bright and eager college graduate is attracted to teaching and
his talents are focused where
the need is greatest.
These programs all of them
new are enriching life for millions of young Americans.
In our high schools, students
find that once-emplibrary
shelves are filled; the most
laboratory equipment is
available; new courses, new
methods of teaching and learning
are being tested in the classroom.
A student who sets his sights
on college is more likely than
ever before to find help through
federal loans, scholarships, and
work-stud- y
grants.
Today's college student is
more likely than ever to live and
learn in new dormitories, new
classrooms, new libraries and lab-

for higher education can say with
certainty, "My child can go to

college."
A New Spirit

Stirring

Above all, we can see a new
spirit stirring in America, moving
us to stress anew the central
importance of education; to seek
ways to make education more
vital and more widely available.
That new spirit cannot be
fully measured in dollars or enrollment figures. But it is there
nonetheless. The achievements of
the past four years have sustained
and nourished it.
Yet for all our progress, we
still face enormous problems in
education: stubborn, lingering,
unyielding problems.
The phrase, "equal educational opportunity," to the poor family in Appalachia and to the Negro family in the city, is a promise not a reality.
Our schools are turning out

whose years in the classroom
have not equipped them for useful work.
Growing enrollments and rising expenses are straining the
resources of. our colleges and
the strain is being felt by families across America.
Each of these problems will
be difficult to solve. Their solution may take years and almost certainly will bring new
problems. But the challenge of
our generation is to lead the
way.
Setting Our Priorities
And in leading the way, we
must carefully set our priorities.
To meet our urgent needs within a stringent overall budget,
several programs must be reduced or deferred.
We can reduce expenditures
on construction of facilities and
the purchase of equipment. But,
many of our urgent educational
programs which directly affect
the young people of America cannot be deferred. For the cost
the human cost of delay is in-

These principles underlie my

our most urgent needs, while
deferring less important programs

The prosperity and
of the Unit edJStates and thus
our national interest are vitally
affected by Americans colleges
and universities, junior colleges,
well-bein-

and technical institutes.
Their problems are not theirs
alone, but the nation's.
This is true today more than
ever. For now we can call upon
higher education to play a new
and more ambitious role in our
social progress, our economic development, our efforts to help
other countries.
We depend upon the universitiestheir training, research

As never before, we look to

have that enrichment as their
