UK, U Of L Trustees
Set April 15 Date

For Progress Report

Special to the Kernel
for the first time in joint session, the UK
trustees and the trustees of the University of Louisville charged
their negotiating teams Tuesday to work on appropriate ways to
implement "closer affiliation" between the universities through
the
approach of Plan Five of the Baker Report.

negotiating
mittees are to issue a progress
report April 15.
The committees are to report
back to their respective presidents.
The joint trustees reportedly
expressed reservations at the
Tuesday meeting on whether the
state could afford to support Uof
L as a state university in the near
future. Apparently, equal financing for the schools is seen as a
problem in any future affiliation.
UK and U of L were ordered
to explore a "closer affiliation"
by the 1968 legislature in House
Bill 91. The legislature called
for the Louisville
municipal university to become
a state school by 1970, for a
curriculum compatible with the
state system, and for closer ties
with UK.
The state commissioned a
citizen s committee in 1966 headed
by Lisle Baker, Jr. to study the
feasibility of "closer affiliation"
between the universities. Ultimately six alternate plans were
considered. The fifth plan, remercommending a
ger, was approved by the committee.
Officials at both schools have
since expressed mutual approval
"in principle" of the Plan Five
merger proposal.
The proposal called for the
formation of a single university
with both UK and U of L co
equal parts. The merged univer- sity under the proposal, would

be governed by a single presi- semi-priva- te

According to the proposal,
each university would have a
separate chancellor, with each
responsible to the single president and trustees.
Members of the UK negotiating committee are Dr. Harry Den-hachairman; William R.
Black, B. Hudson Milner and
Professor Paul Oberst.
Members of the U of L committee are Edwin C. Middleton,
chairman; Eli H. Brown III, Baylor Landrum, Samuel H. Klein
and Archibald P. Cochran, an ex
officio member.

B. Gallagher, associate professor
of sociology; Jim Sleet, Lexington community organizer, Cal

According to Wallace, in trying to avoid violence and decide
what initiates violence, "We are
concerned about how people behave and how we want people to

behave."

He said, "If we are going to
control violence in our streets.

we are eoinz to have to search

know the guy in the streets and
must have a reciprocal underand communication

In defending policemen and

Maj. Carter said policemen are

Students for Action and Responsibility (SAR)
Tuesday night formally presented its list of candidates for Student Government president, vice
president and representatives along with their
platform.
Thorn Pat Juul and Joe Maguire, SAR candidates for SG president and vice president, said
they wrote the platform with suggestions from
SAR's 14 representative candidates.
The 14 SAR candidates for SG representative
are Robert Duncan, Elsie Parsons, James Kohr-maBarbra Ries, Douglas Motley, Ellen Essig,
Molly Clark, Tim Guilfoile, Keith James Brubaker,
Bob Bailey, Paul Johnson, Jim Embry, Dan Fisher
and Bucky Pennington.
Juul said the SAR list of candidates includes a
variety of student interests "from the extremely
conservative to the extremely non conservative."
But, he added, all the candidates agree "student
services and problems must be met."
In the area of University housing the SAR
platform "pledges to continue to work for the
end to compulsory housing" and "to work for
donns
the establishment of different
for all students, thereby eliminating compulsory
hours for women. "
The platform urges University development of
Child Care Centers for the children of married
students attending UK.
SAR plans to extend bus service to Shawn eetown
and to work for more parking space in Cooperstown.
The platform "pledges to increase University
police security around all University housing units

Bruce Carver and Steve Bright, candidates
for Student Government president and vice president respectively, released their platform during
spring vacation.
On the housing issue, the platform called for
as near a landlord-tenan- t
relationship as possible
between the University and the student.
It called on the University to provide positive
incentives to encourage students to live in dormitories so that the policy which could force students to live in University housing would never
be used.
In addition, the platfonn asked that the. student be presented with a choice of life styles in
the dormitories sothat those students wishing
to live under any certain set of regulations could
be housed together in the same dorm.
The platfonn said that a student should not
be subject to search and sekure in the dorms
except in cases of danger, emergency or disruption.
In addition the platfonn called for freedom
to distribute "valid student information" in residence halls, a lunch-dinnplan, private
telephone lines, more vending machines and a
residence hall government representative in Student Government.
The platfonn also said that the quadrangle
should not be reopened for residence halls for
undergraduates.
In the area of academics, the platfonn endorsed the Student Bill of Rights with the exception of two clauses.

Socialist Speaker, Cuban Exiles Clash On Cuba Today

with a red flag bearing a likeness of Che Guevara. Outside,
signs saying "My country right

its "socialist supporters."

The committee's quarrel with
the present draft system, its members explain, is that they disagree
with its coercive character, contending that an army based on
capital benefits and not conscription would increase efficiency and
return a sense of "patriotic duty"
to military service.
What, if anything, the committee is able to accomplish is,
at this point, a very open question
(there are plans for a national
organization and a million signatures by this summer), but
its formation gives some indication of the pressure that is now
beginning to build for some kind
of draft reform. The idea of a
volunteer army is gaining increasing support.
Most Leave
There seems to be sound basis
for that support. Under the volunteer system, the army's ranks
would be filled with men who
sign up because they want to, and
thus they would remain in the
service considerably longer.

Pass-Fa- il

Students preregistering this week and next would be well advised
to seriously consider taking a course or two under the pass-fa- il
system.
Few students signed up for the program this semester, chiefly because
the procedures for enrolling could not be well publicized.
This excuse does not exist any longer. All one has to do in order
to preregister for pass-fa- il
courses is to place a "P-F- "
on his IBM
cards in the lab column next to the course name. Those wishing
to avail themselves of this system should discuss their plans with
their advisers, however, to ensure that the courses they wish to take
are free electives.
pass-fa- il
Students presently are allowed to take four such courses during
their undergraduate years. Perhaps next semester would be a good
time to start taking advantage of pass-fai- l.

More Discipline

One of the two new disciplinary offenses added to the Student
Code by the Board of Trustees last week poses some questions. The
offense adopted by the board is- "Interference with any registered
organization or any individual on property owned or operated by the
University, or interference with the activities of the University, including but not limited to disruption of classes or meetings, or prevention
of ingress and egress from buildings."
No one can deny that such activities should be made liable to disciplinary action, even should they be justifiable in terms of tactics
and goals. And the new offense does clarify to some extent the previously existing provision under which such activities were dealt with.
However, like most of the provisions in the code, it is vague enough
to be twisted to suit the whims of administrators using it. This possibility must be kept in mind and must be scrutinized in the provision's
application to prevent its being abused.

Midterm Grades
The Undergraduate Council, going beyond the proposal of The
University Student Advisory Committee, has submitted a proposal
to the University Senate recommending . the abolishment . of all
midterm grades. The council feels
that the grades are basically of little use to students and time consuming for both faculty and administrators.
USAC's proposal called for the
abolishment of midterms for all
students regardless of
upper-clas- s
the class in which they were enrolled. The Undergrad Council felt
that there was no real need to
make this distinction between the
two classifications. We agree.

Students who are honestly concerned about the progress they are
making in a class can easily obtain that information directly from
the Professor, rather than from the
midterm grade slip. Communication between student and professor,
at present in a very poor state,
may even be aided by the absence
of the midterm slip.
It has been suggested that the
Undergrad plan be implemented
on a trial basis during the 1969-7- 0
school year, thus allowing jthat
the old plan can easily be reactivated if necessary.. The Faculty
Senate would do well to follow
this suggestion.

Yellow Heart
So Hooper deserves the "Muddle of
Honor" for his actions near Hue, on
Feb. 21, 196S, (Kernel editorial, March
11)? You write as if the three bunkers
and three buildings Hooper destroyed
were being used by the enemy as gambling casinos and brothels. Sure, my face
would be
also if some
nut threw a grenade in my fun house.
But actually, whether they were forced
into war or not, these enemy soldiers
were armed with weapons for killing, not
for pleasure. It is true that war is the
terror-stricke- n

most inhumane, barbaric and obscene
form of activity a human being can participate in. Yet, you have trespassed on a
man's conscience by alluding to his
dreams to come. Have you considered
Hooper's alternative? To sit back and
watch his men, men who also were forced
to fight, be destroyed by the enemy?
You agree that the other two men
deserved the medal because they saved
lives. So how can you deny that Hooper
saved the lives of his squad members by
killing the enemy before the enemy killed
them? If you think Hooper deserves the
"Muddle of Honor," then as long as
you're in a laudatory mood, give yourself the "Yellow Heart."
