Julian Bond,
representative from the state of Georgia,
(front left of the policeman) spoke with at least some of the 200
people who crowded into the President's Room in the Student
Center following his speech Thursday night. Bond, as he claimed
he would, both educated and entertained the students and townspeople who turned out to see and hear the controversial Georgia
delegate to the Democratic National Convention this summer.

year's Democratic National Convention and one of the founders of
the Student

crowd of about 1,000 last night in the Grand Ballroom of the
Non-Viole- nt

Student Center.
Bond was given a standing
ovation three times: when he
first appeared, when he started
to speak and when he had
finished.
In a quiet scholarly tone, Bond
quipped with the responsive audience for about 15 minutes, revealing a quick wit and gift for
storytelling. Reading poems, even
reciting the verses of a song, Bond
explained that he had found a
need to entertain as well as
educate his college audiences.

Bond spoke
of a "new coalition" between
black and white liberals. "This
new coalition must replace the
old coalition of big city bosses,"
he said. "The old coalition won
in Chicago but, in victory, insured its defeat by clubbing those
who could have preserved it."
He then warned, "The new
coalition is possible only if it
is possible to meet Blacks with
honesty and not use them just
for their votes." He then added
that the coalition must "demand

Delay In Selecting Coach May Hurt Athletic Program
CHIP HUTCHESON
Kernel Staff Writer
Failure by a proposed screening committee to promptly
select a new UK football coach could seriously damage
the entire UK athletic program.
A meeting of the UK Athletics Board has been called
by Interim President A. D. Kirwan for Tuesday. A screening committee will then be selected to name a successor
to Charlie Bradshaw, who announced his resignation as
head football coach Tuesday.
"We hope we don't encounter the same problem
that occurred when trying to select an athletic director,"
said Dr. Kirwan. He said he would like to see a candidate recommended to the Athletics Board by the end of
November.

News Analysis
Kirwan pointed out one big difference in the selection
of an athletic director and that of a football coach.
"The Board of Trustees has to approve the athletic
director, but the football coach will be recommended
to the Athletics Board, and won't have to be voted
on by the Board of Trustees."
The problem that arose in the situation of finding
an athletic director is therefore not as likely to occur in
this situation.

Weird Tales From A Moonlit Halloween's Night
By HOWARD MASON
and DARRELL RICE
Arcane Science Editors
While many students followed
the mundane Halloween pursuit
of goodies, another group of about
40 gathered to celebrate the event
in the ancient spirit of the occasion by casting a hex at precisely
12 midnight.
The hex was directed at OZIQ,
one of the groups circulating
petitions. The rite
was performed on the meridian
of Transylvania Park, across from
the headquarters of OZIQ.
Accompanied by the steady
beat from a tattered bass drumi
and punctured by the din emanating from a makeshift gong, the
curse was chanted by one of the
students over a drone uttered
by the other participants.
The hex was as follows:

(The curse ended with the
Creek alphabet.)
As the casting of the hex
neared the end, the chanting
approached a crescendo, and the
students erupted into screams.
A frenzied circular dance followed, with more noise from the
drum and gong.
The spectacle attracted stares
from occupants of nearby residences and some hoots of derision, including one cry of, "Chicago, Rah!"
The ritual broke up and the
participants dispersed only moments before three patrol cars
and one paddy wagon arrived
on the scene. As the patrolmen
slowly circled the area, they
found a portion of the group
reassembled on the front porch
of one of the houses immersed
in the soft singing of "Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot."
One of the participants was
asked the anticipated result of
the rite. He replied, "I have no
idea I don't try to outguess
the devil."
He said the text of the ritual
was supplied by Apocalypsius,
conductor of the Master Chapel
of the Metropolitan Church of
the Art of Fury.
Copies of the curse were distributed to the doorsteps of "selected" fraternities and sororities,
he said.
Among the ritual participants
were 13 who came directly from
a Free University seminar on
black magic.
Appropriate Setting
The black magic session was

existence of the latter was substantiated somewhat by photographic documentation.
Levitation Possible
Graham Watkins, a graduate
student, speculated on the possibility of levitation of objects
by microwave manipulations.
Although this feat is almost
inconceivably complex, it would
be the first step in invalidating
all laws of physics and, "in effect, loosing magic upon the
world." Given this first step,
Watkins said, "nothing is

two candles and a single jack
o lantern. A stylized pentagraph
was hung on a wall especially
for the occasion. A mottled-gra-y
cat of monumental proportions
provided eerie background effects
with piercing howls.
Darrell Harrison, a student
and dabbler in sorcery, led the
black magic discussion. Harrison
said the basic tenet of magic
is oneness of the universe, with
each individual's being a microcosm of the universe.
He described the practice of
black magic as the magician's
mastery of his personal universe
and the projection of this mastery
to the macrocosm, of which he
is a part.
Harrison provided examples
of the practice of black magic
through the ages in explaining
various principles.
One of the primary functions
of sorcery and black magic, he
said, is to conjure demons for
not undubious purposes. The demons called to appear can range
from Hecate, whom Harrison described as "the boss witch," to
one which allegedly appeared in
a Welsh graveyard and which
was described as
tall with
the head of a bull on a "vile
human body" with a forked tail
and the wings of a griffin. The

As the session neared its conclusion, the group was asked to
formulate plans for future meetings. Harrison said he sensed
the participants wanted "a lab"
rather than a lecture format.
"You can't become a witch
in a day," he offered.
The group remained adamant
in its desire for practical experience, however, and conducted
further discussion on the distinctions between a "cult" and an

shaw is indeed a man of character
who instills character in his athletes as well.
While we still maintain that
football is a detriment to the academic endeavors of this University,
there is little denying that football
can have a beneficial effect on some
of those who participate in it.
This benefit comes from the competition, not from winning or losing.
If the athletic program at this
university is to have any meaning,
it must come from the values of
the contest, not from the record
of the team.
Clearly, the man who replaces
Bradshaw must be of the same
strength of character as Bradshaw
has displayed. Hopefully, of course,
he will have a better understanding
of the proper role of athletics in
the academic community. He must,
however, have the strength to
realize that any value the program
has is independent of his record
and have the courage to take the
insults of the critics as gracefully
as Charlie Bradshaw has done.

Loss Of A Man
Head Football Coach Charlie
Bradshaw's resignation, tendered
Tuesday night and effective at the
end of this season, brings to focus
again some of the serious problems
concerning the future of athletics
on this campus.
Bradshaw's statement that he
was leaving his post because he
could not produce the kind of winning football program he desired
must be accepted at face value,
however, one may question how
much the pressures of outside influences affected Bradshaw's decision.
e
It is no secret that many
coaches out in the state wanted
Bradshaw removed from his post
because of his poor record. But it
is important to notice that the members of the football team itself do
not feel this way, and are quick
to support their coach.
The respect which Bradshaw
has earned from his players is a
clue to the nature of the man
himself. Judging from the statements of his athletes, Charlie Brad- -

McCarthy's Move
Eugene McCarthy's last
minute effort to save this country
from a Republican administration
under Richard Nixon can only be
commended. McCarthy's endorsement of Hubert Humphrey, coming
at this time, cannot be interpreted
as a selling-ou-t
of the interest he
has so nobly represented since New
Hampshire.
Rather, it seems, only an acknowledgment of the harsh political realities of this election in which
young liberals are threatened by the
possibility of repression under a
Nivon-Agneadministration. Al- Sen.

w

most nothing these latter two men
have said in this campaign would
inforce the belief that they really
understand the mood of modem
youth in America today.
McCarthy has left open his plans

for the future, thereby offering hope
that future elections will not offer
so meaningless a choice. If the
Democrats and Republicans refuse
to respond to the present issues,
perhaps a third party is a necessity.
Sen. Eugene McCarthy, inouropin-ion- ,
would be the proper person to
lead the move.

desire to "throw out the grading system
altogether, and let learning be the guide,
not ARCDE. I request that you answer,
in an issue of the Kernel in the next
few day s, the following questions:
Assume that all courses taken by a
student who earned his baccalaureate
degree were of the pass-fai- l
type.
1. How will a graduate scliool admissions officer determine whether the
student can be expected to do graduate work successfully? A student who
has a "just passed" undergraduate record
cannot get into a graduate schx)l these
days.
2. If you were a professor and were
confronted by a student who hail failed
in your pass-fai- l
course and who demanded t hat you prove to him that he
failed, how would you prove it? How
would you resixjnd?
3. Should scholastic honor societies
be aljolished?
4. How will a prospective employer
distinguish between a graduate wliose
grade-poiaverage indicates good mastery of all of his course work and a
graduate who barely passed? Large companies express great preference for A and
11 students.
5. Why sliould a student who does
good, or superior, work in school not
be recognized and rewarded with a liigh
nt

numerical mark, a B, or an A? Meeting
competition encourages one to do his best
and it builds character. All graduates
will find that the business world is full
of competition. They should have some
practice in getting ready for it while
in school.
Carl Davidson, while he was vice
president of SDS in 19GG, spelled out
clearly the objectives of that organization. One was to work to get all college
courses changed to the pass-fa- il
type.
Another was to strive to get "students
and liberated professors to work out a
model curriculum and agitate for its adoption, mainly because studentsparticipated
in it, rather than on its merits." Note
those last five words. It appears that,
with permission now to take four
courses on a pass-fabasis, a
start has been made on a "model curriculum" at the University of Kentucky.

To

the Editor of the Kernel:

Mr. Mihalek, after reading your article
I am compelled to try to set the record
straight. As a fellow law student, it is

beyond me liow someone of your supposed ambition can leap blindly to the
wild conclusion that islanding II is a
"hot bed of immorality". Surely y ou have
learned something about weighing the
facts before broadcasting a personal opinion. A little fact finding here and you

would not have so hastily condemned
a system which permits responsible adults
to live in the same building.
I suggest the following as a possible
reason for the housing of "fellas" and
girls together. Due to the
housing problem here, which UK is in the
process of solving, there was not enough
space in Gx)perstown (Graduate Housing Complex) to accomodate all graduate
students this fall. Therefore, the only solution was to provide housing for them
and that was in the form of Rlanding
low-ris- e
II. This is a typical three-floo- r
building. The women occupy the first
floor; the men, the upper two. There
is very little interrelation between the
lower and upper floors, and even that is
done just like any other dating situation. Just because these students happen
to live in the same building doesn't justify your implied conclusion that they are
promiscuous.
Living in a confined situation, such
as that which exists in Rlanding II, no
one, especially the female students, can
afford to risk his reputation by indiscretion. And, believe me no one would
without
get away with any hanky-pank- y
being summarily condemned by other
n
resilient s of the dorm. This is a
fact and is observed religiously.
For your further information there is a
little more difference between undergraduates and graduates than you suggest.
It is not unreasonable to assume that the
average age of undergraduates is around
well-know- n

well-know-

twenty. The a
