Draft Protesters
Foiled By Police
A Second Time

AP. CPS Dispatches
NEW YORK—A mass attempt by antiwar demonstrators to close
a downtown induction center was foiled for the second successive
day Wednesday by row upon row of police. A small band of the
frustrated protesters spun off to surge chanting through midtown

Manhattan.

Police estimated that 20!)
demon strators, one waving a Viet
Cong flag, took part for three
hours in a second futile attempt
to close down the Whitehall
Street induction center. About
200 of them later went uptown
with the intention of heckling
Secretary of State Dean Rusk,
in town for a speech. Again they
were thwarted.

Both protests were relatively
calm compared to the New York
demonstration Tuesday when
more than 250 persons were ar-
rested. One protest leader in New
York said, ”it was a flop, a
big nothing." Only about25were
arrested Wednesday.

Although the protesters did
not stage a sit-in as they did
Tuesday, they made plenty of
noise. As inductees entered the
building, the protesters yelled,
”Don't go, don't go." They also
shouted ”Peace now," and ”Hell,
no; we won‘t go."

Counterdemon st rators waving
American flags appeared in in-
creasing numbers, and in Lower
Manhattan disdainful passers-by
scuffled frequently with the Viet-
nam protesters. One of the lat-
ter was knocked down while try-
ing to uproot a small American
flag from a sand pile where a
construction worker had planted
it.

‘Keep Rusk Out'

A Waldorf-Astoria hotel lunch-
eon Speech by Mr. Rusk brought
pickets onto Park Avenue out-
side the hotel. They chanted,
”Keep New York clean-keep Rusk
out."

From the Waldorf, without so
rmch as a glimpse of Rusk, the
group marched to Grand Central
terminal, wherethey milled about
chanting, “Hey, hey LB], how
rmny kids did you kill today?"

The next stop was United Na-
tions headquarters on the East
River. There police physically
broke up the crowd afier an in-
spector announced through a
loud speaker: ”This group has

subject to arrest unless you dis—
perse."

New York’s full 28,0(X)-man
police force was on standby alert
in the third day of the national
antidraft week. About 4,000 ac-
tually were deployed in the
Whitehall Street area, on foot,
on horseback and in helicopters.

in Philadelphia Wednesday,
about 74 persons who attempted
to block the entrance tothe Army
induction center on North Broad
Street were arrested. The demon-
stration, which began at 6:30
a.m., was coordinated by the
Anti-Draft Union of Philadel-

phia.

Prospects For Change Not Good

 

Admission

Eastern Kentucky’sProblem Standards
Caused By Politics: Caudill Questioned

By PBISCILLA DREHER

Some of the most efficient
power machines in the nation
can be found in the counties of
Eastern Kentucky, an area rich
in mineral resources but having
large portions of the population
on public welfare.

Why government efficiency
and poverty exist side by side
was discussed Wednesday night
by well-known Kentucky author
Harry Caudill, a UK graduate.

The reason, Mr. Caudill said,
is a political machine operating
on patronage. The machine de-
velops he said, from a system of
paternalism, which evolved
whereby elders became the lead-
ers and the decision makers of
communities.

Paternalism was caused, he
added, by families being isolated
by the mountain frontier.

He said the mountain frontier
received and held people in iso-

lookrevealsasmallcardideuifyingthegovan-

man agency as the advertis

lation so that each family became
a separate entity, and because of
this isolation, the mountaineer
became very individualistic.

Mistrustful of Government

”People Were mistrustful of
government and from their point
of view, taxes were largely
wasted," Mr. Caudill continued.

”It was easy for the mountain
people to shift their system of
paternalism to the coal com-
panies who took care of their
employes and the families for a
century and a half.

Because of this, Mr. Caudill
says, people lost the habit of
caring for themselves. “ Man lived
out of the company store."

Still, he said, the problem
did not reach its peak until 1948-
49, when a tendency began to
escape the hollows and‘vmove
closer to highways and towns.

”This shattered the patrical

li he 1’ . The sign also pub-
cizes t eaceCorps' purpose—pinnrily toaid

society," the author said. ”Coal
companies modified their opera-
tions and younger people moved
away. The older people were in
a sense abandoned."

A Hugh Welfare State

Mr. Caudill explained that
there was a need for someone to
perceive order and the present
power stmcture—the political
machine-moved in and re-
mained. The mountain machines
can deliver up to 90 percent of
the votes in many counties, he
said.

In effect, he explained, the
mountain region became a huge
welfare state. Mr. Caudill said
votes were delivered in return
for more money from the state
govemment.

Cliques formed in local gover-
ment that were able to hire and
fire people in the school systems
and on state road construction
and repair jobs, he said. ”The
school bus driver and the lunch
room cooks got their jobsthrough
the patronage system."

Mr. Caudill said generaUy the
only people who pay taxes are
the ones who volunteer them.

”If it were not for the state
sales tax," he said, “the moun-
tain counties wouldn't have any
school systerm."

Another aspect of the prob-
lem, he said, is an industrial
power stmcture that ”creates
wealth for distant people and
creates problems for Kentucky."

Prospects for changing this
system do not look good, he
concluded. He said afler 1969,
the federal poverty program will
be controlled on the local level.

“When this happens, then
the political machines in East-
ern Kentucky will have a new
resource of wealth, and aunts,
uncles, , cousins, friends and vote

By LYNN CARLOUGH

Dr. Maurice Hatch, professor
of English and chairman of the
Advisory Committee to the Arts
and Sciences Advisory Council,
questioned the University's ad-
mission policies in a speech be—
fore the faculty FOCI Wednes-
day.

Coming to no conclusions, Dr.
Hatch said that accepting stu-
dents with poor high school rec-
ords is not so much a wasted
expenditure of money as it is
a wasted expenditure of time.

He also suggested admitting
students on the basis of high
school‘ grades, successful comple—
tion of two years in acommunity
colleges or a high percentile rank-
ing on the American College Test
(ACT).

The second possibility would
be similar to a plan now used in
California, where students must
complete two years of commun—
ity college work before admit—
tance to the university. Dr. Hatch
said “successful completion"
would mean a 3.0 accumulative
average, a high percentile rank-
ing on the ACT and a top class
rank.

Trustees Mentioned

First mention of a more selec-
tive admission policy was made
at a Board of Trustees meeting
last December _by Trustee Clif-
fort E. Smith. Sam Ezelle agreed
with Mr. Smith during that meet-
ing in calling for stricter admis-
sion requirements.

,/ “What kind of student it is
ho can succeed is irnponder-
able," added Dr. Hatch, "be-
cause poor teaching, a bad high
school record and preparation,
and student indifference allenter
into success."

Dr. Hatch went on to ask,
"What is it about the University
that units so many not sta

ornotmahegooduades?" .

Students Protesting Suspensions

Shut Down San Francisco State

AP, UPI Dispatches

SAN FRANCISCO—A small
force of Negro and white students
brought San Francisco State Col-
lege to a dead stop Wednesday
in a riotous invasion of the ad-
ministration building and other
centers on the campus.

All classes were dismissed in
the early aftemoon. Administra-
tion building employes were sent
home earlier during initial stages
ofa campus “mill-in.”

Campus police were insidethe
administration building but did
not interfere with the 350 dem-
onstrators. No outside police help
was summoned and there were no
arrests during the two-hour spree.

Fire trucks were summoned to

douse several minor blazes
started on the huge 17,000-stu-
dent campus.

More than 21X» students
watched the proceedings but did
not participate. Many of them
jeered the demonstrators.

The activists, estimated by
observers to number no more
than 100 of the crowd of 1,5(I)
which gathered, were protesting
two unrelated suspension inci-
dents on the l8,(XX)-student cam-

pus.

THE KENTUCKY KERNEi,—*Thur§day, Dec. 7, 1967—3

Claude Sullivan dies after long illness

The Associated Preu

Claude Sullivan, popular
broadcaster of University foot-
ball and basketball games for
nearly 23 years, died Wednes-
day at the Mayo Clinic in R0-
chester, Minn., after a year-long
bout with throat cancer.

The 43-year-old Mr. Sullivan,
whose broadcasting career span-
ned 24 years, became the top
announcer for the Cincinnati
Reds baseball team in 1965.

During the same year, tests

Former Cov. A. B. Chandler,
who once served as baseball com-
missioner, said, ”All who loved
sports will miss him tremen—
dously."

"That's real sad. He was such
a wonderful guy," said William
O. DeWitt, former Reds’ presi-
dent. “The broadcasting indus-
try and all sports have lost a
real friend and a dedicated man.
He was one of my real favor-
ites.“He will be missed by every-
one. _

Mr. Sullivan, a native of Win-

Chester, worked in Ashland at
WCMI, in Louisville at WAVE
and WINN.‘

Mr. Sullivan began broadcast-
ing University basketball games
Jan. 1, 1945, and continued broad-
casting UK football and basket-
ball action until shortly before
his death.

Survivors include his widow
and two sons, one a member of
the University football team. F u-
neral arrangements are incom-
plete.

 

revealed that Mr. Sullivan had
cancer. He started treatment at

‘ Mayo clinic and as late as last
month was reported making good
progress.

"The sports world has lost a
true friend,” said Wildcat bas-
ketball coach Adolph Rupp. “As
everyone knows, he was one of
the best broadcasters in base-
ball, basketball and football."

 Letters to the Editor: the readers write

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

There's a rumor going around here
that President Johnson will make Barry
Goldwater the new Secretary of Defense.
Now that's sound thinking.

If he would just make George Wallace
Secretary of State, this country would be
sitting mighty purty. Maybe those peace
and poverty discenters would quit their
hollerin, and the USA. would finally
have a true red-white-and-blue Cabinet
it could be proud of. -

Samuel Unkelweise
776 Booneton Rd.

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

One of the most frequent remarks
I've heard this semester is something
to the effect that the earliest date at
which one can hope to get out of UK
is too late. As I myself feel somewhat
this way, I wonder if I am not pros-
tituting myself to a social institution
that is either obsolete or with which
I have no comminication?

Looking back on the experience of
having had Dr. Neil Eddington for two
courses, I can say this: He offered stu—
dents a chance to have a free educa-
tional experience. That is, a system of
directed learning and not of memoriza-
tion and repetition of facts.

Class sessions were devoted to dis-
cussion of any and every subject while
on test day, the source was the text.
I often wonder why Dr. Eddington’s
method failed here at UK.

I find myself devoting time to extra-
curricular activities that furnish educa~
tional experiences which should come
from the academic realm. Realizing that
education is both active and passive,
when does passivity become the rule of
the day? What are the implications of
an educational system that is all passi-
vity with no activity?

At least some instmctors are aware
of the present situation in education at
UK. But if students respond to active
education as they did in Eddington's
Anthropology 1“) course, I have only pity
for them. Since when does an ”E" at
midterm mean the end of a life or the
start of a war or world destruction?

Is it true that les grandes personnes
aimes les chiffres et detest humanity?

”Education is the art of utilization
of knowledge," thus said Alfred North
Whitehead. When will UK offer oppor-
tunities for the utilization of all knowl-
edge in the academic setting?

When will all students accept these

opportunities? To students and faculty
I direct one provocative (?) question:
At what time does wisdom cry out in
the street?
_ Two ways of satisfying total educa-
tional needs are l) bringing extracurric-
ular activities into the realm of aca-
demics or 2) changing the format of
rmjor departments in order that stu—
dents can reinforce the classroom ex-
perience with verbal exchanges and open
discussions.

Regardless of the final result, the first

step to be taken is a critical evaluation

of the education he receives by the stu-

dent and an evaluation of the result of
his work by the instructor.

Beverly Westbrook

AkS Junior

To The Editor Of The Kernel: Q

I have been referred to as an un-
patriotic zealot who thinks all coeds
on this campus are stuck-up, and that
I do not have enough masculine initia-
tive to acquire a date. Everyone is en-
titled to his own opinion.

Iwould like to explain to my readers
what I have been trying to do in my
letters which The Kernel has printed.

Slanting, I think, is presenting a few
facts on a situation and then using them
to one's own viewpoint, which is usually
a lopsided affair. The trivial facts, which
I choose, were presented in a manner
which are contrary to most beliefs of so-
ciety.

Something which society does not want
to hear.

There are many more qualities which
favor the U.S. Government and UK coeds
that could be presented. But I am not
going to present them because they are
presented everyday either in some type
of news media or accomplished work —-vis-
ible to everyone.

Two matters which I do not under-
stand about our (UK) society are:

(1) Why is it socially acceptable for
girls on the University of Cincinnati cam-
pus to go places without dates and not
here?

(2) Why isn't there a place near UK
for people to attend in order to listen
to a band, to dance, or to just talk,
which is open ”every weekend," such
as the ones near the UC campus?

I know they serve 3.2 beer to peo-
ple over 18 in Ohio, but I don’t think
this is the only reason why these young
people go to these places near the UC
mmpus, which are usually jammed full.
I may be totally wrong, but I get the
impression from my visits to these places
that the students go there to meet other
people and to have a good time.

Also, I think that, if it were socially
acceptable for girls to go places without
dates that a place similar to one of those
near the UC campus would prove to be
most profitable for the entrepreneur.

Since my letters to The Kernel seem
to be very unpopular, I will not write
any more. I will just keep my thoughts
to myself. PS. I have a girl and a date
every weekend, but not at UK.

Calvin Woodward
Commerce Junior

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

Your recent editorial condemning the
policy of Coach Rupp concerning player-
press relations was most interesting. In
light of The Kemel's inscrutable ability
to misconstrue statements rmde by ath-
letic department employees, I see that
coach Rupp had no alternative.

The Kernel has always shown an abil-
ity to substitute their own ”truths” for
statements which did not conform to their
viewpoints. In 1966 they twisted the bas-
ketball incident involving Bob Tallent
to such an extent that it gained recogni-
tion in foreign newspapers (Pacific Stars
and Stripes). If The Kemel's purpose
is to gain international and national
acclaim then perhaps it would be better
to do so by publishing the truth in a
professional manner.

As for the silence on the part of
“professional journalists,” perhaps they
were able to realize that Coach Rupp is
trying to prevent the dissension which
is created by poor reporting and biased
coverage. The Kernel once again has
jumped to the defensive and proved that
it does indeed have something to be
defensive about.

Roy Yarbrough
A&S Junior

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

The following resolution was intro-
duced and passed unanimously at the
December 5th meeting of the UK Young
Republicans club. We would like to share
it with not only The Kernel staff, but
the entire student body also.

Be it resolved that: the University of
Kentucky Young Republicans Club wishes
to commend Kernel reporter Lee Becker
for his outstanding performance in report-
ing the activities of this organization in
the recent gubernatorial campaign, and,

Be it further resolved that: we believe
his performance to be exemplary of the
finest tradition of journalism.

Respectfully submitted,
Linda Bailey
Corresponding Secretary, YR

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

In separate interviews and from some-
what different viewpoints Mr. Brouwer
and myself commented on the ROTC
within the context of University of Ken-
tucky academic policy.

For our pains we have been vilified
on totally different grounds by a junior
at this university. Speaking only for my-
self, I consider his reply outrageous and
frightening and beneath contempt.

My epithets concerning the young
rmn's letter are not the strongest ones I
could muster, but they'll do in print. If
the junior student wants to hear more, I
suggest he come to my office so that we
can become personally acquainted.

The student speaks as if he already
knew me, so knowledgeable is he about
my educational background, moral virtues
and intellectual competence, but we have
never met.

Meanwhile, again speaking only for
myself, I will continue to be interested
in UK academic policy and in the fac-
ulty's prerogatives in guiding that policy.

In 1970, in a peaceful revolution, Der
Baron of de Bluegrass, basketball’s only
benevolent despot, will step down from

To The Editor Of The Kernel:

It appears to me that neither the
present nor the previous system of ob-
taining tickets for University basketball
games works to the best advantage of
the students desiring to attend the games

Many students were left without seats
following the distribution of tickets last
Tuesday. Those who received tickets were
forced to stand in line an hour and a
half.

One way to correct this problem would
be to have more seats available for the
students in future seasons and moreticket
windows open. Probably the only way
to obtain more seats for students is to
guarantee that no seats will be left emp—

ty.

It was pointed out at last Thursday's
Student Govemment meeting that 1,500
student seats were'not taken for some
games played during the past two sea-
sons. On other occasions, however, stu-
dents have had to stand for games.

With the previous system, it was im-
possible to know how many students
to expect for a game.

In future seasons. students should have
time to pick up tickets the week before
the game, with any remaining tickets
sold to the fans on an individual-game
basis.

An increase in the number of tickets
allotted to students would probably mean
that every student desiringtoseethegame
would have a seat, and this plan would
insure that every seat would be filled.

It would also give the sports fans in
this area who do not have season tickets
a chance to see the team.

There are eight ticket windows in
front of the Coliseum. If students are
going to be able to get tickets in a
reasonable amount oftime, all eight should
be open at least for the first two hours
in which tickets may be picked up.

The possibility of opening even more,
if necessary, should be considered.

Eight or morewindows must beopened
if it is decided that we continue under
the system used last Tuesday.

I hope to be able to work in some
way toward consideration of this plan
for the future if elected to the Student
Government in January.

Universities addicted to Federal funds

By PHIL SEMAS
Collegiate Press Service

COLUMBUS, Ohio (CPS ) —-Senator
Wayne Morse told a group of college
presidents that higher education must
solve the great problems of society or
both society and higher education will
fall.

The day after Morse spoke, those presi-
dents, representing state colleges and
universities which enroll more than half
the nation’s students gave a citation “for
his determined and unflagging devotion
to the advancement of education” to the
man who is the cause of America's great-
est problems—Lyndon Baines Johnson.

This little vignette demonstrates why
higher education is unlikely to do much
about the great social problems of which
Senator Morse spoke and why campus
demonstrations are aimed more and
more at war-related research and campus
recruiting. Higher education is too much
a part of the establishment.

‘ Worry About Funds

Those educators spent most of their
time at their three day meeting here
worrying about how they were going to
get more money out of the Federal Gov-
ernment in order to keep their institu-

fichi’ab w face a B‘nandhlvenshap-

students for more money in tuition and
fees, while Uncle Sam is starting to turn
off the flow of goodies, most states are
unable to generate much in new tax
revenue and are cutting back their edu-
cation budgets, and even the Ford F oun-
dation, with all its money and influence
in higher education, can hardly provide
broad support for colleges and univer-
sities.

Yet it is hard to agree with them that
the financial crisis is the greatest one
facing higher education. For, even if
the federal government bails out the
nation's colleges and universities, they
will still have a bigger crisis to face:
what are they doing for America, what
are they doing to stop what Senator
Morse called “the trend of the govem-
ment toward a military economy." What,
indeed, have universities done to stop
the growth of militarism in the United
States?

The answer: very little. Recruiters for
the military machine walk their camp-
uses with impunity. The nation’s most
prestigious institutions of higher learning
-Michigan, Stanford and MIT—do the
Defense Department's dirty work, build-
ing bigger and better bombs, developing

This is the point that demonstrators
are trying to make when they try to stop
recruiters and object to campus military
research, secret and open.

Amdemic Freedom

But most educators have missed the
point. Instead of asking themselves prob-
ing questions about their complicity with
the military structure, they continue to
babble about academic freedom and the
right of all groups—left and right—to
appear on campus.

The protestors want to know what
universities are doing to stop the war.
Perhaps the answer isn't kicking military
recruiters off the campus. (Though what
would be so unacademic about denying
campus facilities to any organization
which participates in the destruction of
human beings?)

And why should universities, which
are supposed to be devoted to the better-
ment of man continue to conduct mili-
tary research which results in new ways
to destroy man?

Perhaps it is time for higher educa-
tion to cast aside its ivory tower inde-
pendence and start doing something
about the sordid activities of the Ameri-
can nation. How important to the good

in a land where we have no business
being and are not wanted?

Universities Merge With Establishment

And what good is freedom of speech
and the freedom to dissent, if the estab-
lishment, of which the American uni-
versity is as much a part as Lyndon
Johnson and t
