New 56 Veep Paster discusses office troubles

Student Government iSGi is in trouble
the cabinet is essentially defunct. most
student senators are finally attending
meetings but they do little else. and the
organization has lost most of its sense of
direction so much so that Scott Wen

extensive reorganization.

Wendelsdorf has been plagued by a lack
of people to carry out present programs

to sell new. so called “student power."

This is where things stood two weeks ago
when a confused Student Senate elected
Mark Paster as SG vice president to fill the
unexpired term of Brenda Hamer. Paster
has been active in campus politics and
student academic movements for the last
three years and some students are hoping
his election will help in changing the
current mood in and about SG.

Time to plan
for Amanuensis

“Chances are that you may have
seen a small magazine called
Anianuensis in various places around
the campus." wrote The Kernel’s arts
editor in last Thursday's newspaper.

But those chances are slim.

UK‘s literary magazine receives

very little publicity and. con-
sequently. little student support.
Trying to find a copy of

Amanuensis. if you‘re interested. is
difficult. Cashiers questioned
recently at the University Bookstore
had no idea what the booklet was.
much less where to find it. A woman
at the information desk at the store
finally found it. at the bottom of the
”best-seller“rack~—not too appealing
when Harold Robbins‘ The Betsy is
competing beside it.

True. waiting two weeks after
publication is not an ideal time to
begin looking for Amanuensis. but
burying it is also not an ideal way to
publicize this student~based venutre.

The problem of poor student
reception is not unique. L'K‘s previous
literary effort. the 1968 Kentucky
Review. went bankrupt with the same
problems.

‘Yes, I guess you
could say I've
noticed some

hostility in
the bureau...’

David Durant. Anianuensis faculty
adviser. says there simply is not a
large audience for a student literary
magazine on. this campus. The
problem is one which also must be
faced by similar publications on other
campuses. Durant pointed out that
literary magazines are a hard thing to
sell—a 75 cent luxury that most
people cannot afford.

One of the beauties of Amanuensis
is that it serves as a sounding board
for local talent—primarily UK’s. but
other Kentucky artists as well. In less
than two years it has risen from ob-
scurity to what amounts to the
premier position among literary
publications in this area. if not the
state.

Selections are also published from
other sources outside the state. but
this strays from one of the magazine‘s
basic premises—that Kentucky‘s
talented writers and photographers
should have a showcase for their own
work.

Student interest could mean a
promising. self-perpetuating future
for the publication. A $35ti-an-issue
printing bill digs deep into the

existing funds of Amanuensis. which
are based primarily on a continuing
$500 grant from the Kentucky Arts
(‘ommission and from subscription
proceeds.

A wider reputation. such as that
established by the previous Kentucky
Review. and a dependable source of
income is a necessity for the
magazine. (‘ertainly an arts award.
although well-deserved. cannot be
counted on to finance the publication
of the magazine from year to year.

Now. then. is the time for sound
planning needed to keep a quality
magazme such as A manuensis in the
black.

 

 

 

The proof
of history

Throughout history people have. out of
fear, thrown away their power and their
liberty in order to get stability, The Kernel
has now joined the legions of weakkneed

liberals in calling for gun control
legislation.
Murders have occurred since (‘ain

clubbed Abel and they will continue for as
long as there is anyone left. Periodically
the cry goes up for gun control,

The founders of this country greatly
feared that the government could become
dominated by foreign powers or narrow
domestic interests. and. for these reasons.
guaranteed the right of the people to keep
and bear arms.

lf guns are registered then any group
seizing power in this country will know

right where to go to prevent rebellion. If
our weapons are taken away. or we an
restricted from obtaining weapons. we will
be in the same position as the Czechs and
the Hungarians. fighting tanks with rocks
and bottles. I. for one, am not willing to
live in a society where all the weapons are
in the hands of the police and the military.
Rather than call frantically for more
legislation. it would be better to institute a
weapons training program in all high
schools. Everyone should own and know
how to use a gun. If you can‘t protect and
defend yourself. don‘t expect a govern-
ment to do it for you. Only an armed and
alert nation. not a nation of sheep. can
prevent tyranical elements from gaining
total control of the country. Remember.
there are only three more presidential
elections before 198-1

Needs help

I am asking your cooperation in
publishing this letter so that I may reach
the general student population,

I am attempting to accumulate some
meaningful data for a serious study on
American communes. To that end. I wish
to reach as many communes as possible by
mail and in some cases for personal in—
terviews. if possible.

I will be grateful if students. graduate
and undergraduate. who are living in
communal situations. will write me in-
dicating willingness to receive a
questionnaire. Size of commune is
unimportant; three or four people. up to
any number.

After passage in the House. the plan was

.\lo_\nihan lays to a few crustysouled
Republican Senators who could care less
about symbolic rewards 'l‘he radvlibs were
blamed Some went against it.
.\loynihan suggests not without a certain
truth. because they operate on the
proposition that worst is always best for
their political fortunes. Mostly though. he
seems to think the Senatorial libs just
couldn't get it through their thick heads
that in reality the Family Assistance Plan

bureaucratic liberalism.

But none of this answers the question of
why a Nixon Administration would want
this and not a real reform measure along
the lines of what Friedman was talking
about, Because this isn‘t a kiss-and-tell
book. much is left to conjecture. The
impression you‘re left with is that Nixon
himself has long since come to consider
conservatism a utopian ideal. but as a man
with a country to run what works is the
liberal Democratic legacy.

For people who see him as the Mad
Bomber of Hanoi, Nixon the cautious
“centrist“ is hard to accept. Yet there he
is now with a four—year record of un-
flinching New Dealism. and never mind
the decentralization talk.

If that‘s so, then there was no massive
voter shift last November. The country
voted for the same policies it has for four
decades. the liberal pig in the conservative
blanket.

Change the world for $4?
that's what PlRGs will cost

By MICHAEL .l. COOPER

American society educates eight million
students a year in over 2000 colleges and
universities. The energy and idealism of
those students could become the foun—
dation of a potent force for social bet~
terment. Standing between this potentially
powerful force and its effective application
to national problems are numerous 0b-
stacles: a sense of competition within and
among different institutions; exams and
vacations that interrupt efforts for long‘
term continuity pressures that interfere
with a unified committment on specific
issues.

demonstrated an ability to assert in-

of Boys Town is alleged to have said. “there is no

reasonable facsimiles exist: teenaged boys who

sometimes elderly people. When such boys or
men are apprehended by the police. what is
society to do with them'.‘

The fashionable answer is to rehabilitate
them. It is pointed out that imprisonment is no
answer. that young men emerge from im—
prisonment more bitter than they were to begin
with. more skilled in criminal techniques. and
perhaps with new homosexual interests. In many
cases. true, Nevertheless. the recommendation.
rehabilitate them. assumes that even the most
incorrigible offenders can be rehabilitated if
only sufficient resources and intelligence were
devoted to the task.

I submit that this is a romantic notion and
owes more to acquaintance with Victor Hugo‘s
“Les Miserables” than with actual criminals,
'l‘wenty-five years of study and research in
criminology persuades me that criminality is
usually self-limiting that is. most adolescent
delinquents do not indefinitely continue com-
mitting crimes until stopped by old age or death.
But for the to percent or so who do not abandon

student I’lRGs can undertake coordinated
and effective long-term activities. The
students associated with the PIRGs, their
staff and interested faculty members
maintain significant research and in-
vestigative activities into public in-
terest issues. Operating from a sound
basis of proven facts. the students can
pursue a satisfactory corrective action on
an issue. including litigation if necessary
by staff attorneys.

Annual funds for PIRG operations come
from small ($4 per year) individual
student contributions. The common
procedure is for the students to request an
increase in activity fees with the $4 ad-
ditional per student per year going directly
to the student PIRG; in this case a refund
is provided to any student unwilling to
participate. In order to demonstrate
support for this concept. it is recom-
mended that the PIRG organizers obtain
signatures of over 50 percent of a student
body on petitions requesting a university's
administration to cooperate in the funding
mechanism. Acting only as a collecting
agent for the student PIRG. the ad-
ministration would not suffer com-
plications in its tax exempt status.

little idea how to make them stop.

The best that society can do is to offer con-
victed offenders opportunities to rejoin the
company of conventional .peoples.

A minority of inmates exists in every training
school. reformatory and prison who will break
the jaw of a fellow inmate for a bar of candy or a
pack of cigarettes or make a knife in the
workshop to eliminate a sexual rival.

()ur ideal is to rehabilitate criminals. but
some are disinterested in the programs designed
to help them. The fundamental reason in-
corrigibles are not rehabilitated is not lack of
effort or lack of money. It is that society can only
offer choices. and freedom to choose means
freedom to prefer what most people consider an
anti-social way of life.

If some criminals cannot be rehabilitated.
what is society to do'.’ One answer. including that
of the Scandinavian countries. which are noted
for their civilized systems of justice. is in

The chairman of the board is
Thomas 0. Harris. who is also the
commissioner of the Kentucky
Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental
Protection.

One of the functions of the
board is to “Approve and release
public statements relating to the
progress and results of tobacco
research projects." This function
stated in the bill setting up the
board, has caused some difficulty
in getting information from the
institute members about their
work.

“The reason why we don‘t put
out press releases is because of
the provision in the bill that says
any public statement must be
made by the Tobacco Research
Board." a high University of

A look at activity on other campuses

By MIKE TIERNEY
Managing Editor

Students at - several universities across
the country are organizing boycotts of the
cafeterias because they supposedly serve
a brand of lettuce which was picked by
('alifornia's migrant workers.

A representative of Ball State's Lettuce
Boycott (‘ommittee said the group‘s
purpose is to “make students aware of the
iiiigi'aiit woi‘kei‘s‘ pi‘obleitis.”

Whether or not an added incentive of the
boycotters has something to do with the
generally lousy tood university cafeterias
sei'\e, we couldn't tell you

l’i‘eshiiieii at Yale l'nivcrsity may have
been a little surprised one morning last
week when they awoke to find sortie
stranger placing a tray of scrambled eggs.
home tries. sausage. bagels cream cheese.
coffee and ‘ltllH' at the foot of their bed.

Someone figured out that the ”most
uptight person in the world” is a freshman
during exam week. So. in addition to the
grub. the guys were presented cigars and
the girls red carnations.

The program. though was not a complete
success. A couple of uppity frosh placed
“Do Not Disturb“ signs on their doors. You
can‘t please everyone. .

l’ermissiveness reached the height of
absurdity last week at Michigan State
l’niversity when the residents of Campbell
Hall, a girls‘ dorm. requested that the
second floor restroom be declared a coed
john. The current status of the room is for
ladies only, while guys are forced to

traipse down to the first floor to take a
leak.

It seems that girls have been sneaking
their boyfriends into the second floor john.
someone has been calling the cops and a
few of the sex fiends have been arrested. . .

A Sill-unit condominium under con-
struction has not met with the approval of
a few t'niversity of (‘alifornia at Santa
Barbara students. who are lying in front
up bulldozers and road graders to prevent
the construction crew from making any
progress.

The word is that the future site of the
apartments is also an ancient Indian
burial ground,

It only we could come up with a similar
rumor at our stadium site.
