Three Frats

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) Executive Board met late
yesterday to consider rush violation charges which conceivably
could keep three of the largest fraternities from initiating pledges

Editorial Page Editor

The Board of Student Publications adopted a compromise
ediprovision on the selection of
tors in approving a policies statement Monday afternoon.
Controversy arose during the
meeting over whether editors
should be allowed to sit in on
the selection of succeeding editors for the Kernel, the
and the Kentucky Review.
Student board members Steve
Bright and Herbert Creech were
opposed to allowing the editors
to be present during the selection
because they feared the editors
would carry too much influence
iuto such a meeting.
Lee

maintained, however, that

sent when new editors are chosen
because they would know more
of the job requirements and
applicants' qualifications.
But Bright said
"By having the Kernel editor
present, it seems to me you're
taking a step closer to prepetuat-in- g
the higher echelons of the
Kernel . . . whether or not this
is actually true, the reputation
does exist on campus."
Prejudiced Editor?
The outgoing editor might be
prejudiced against a qualified
applicant who has "refused to
eat grapes or whatever it takes
to be Cod around there (at the
Kernel)," Bright said.
"I honestly don't think that
the editor will be able to look
on things objectively," he said.
In an effort to settle the

matter, which at one point board
chairman Dr. Cifford Blyton described as being "worse than the
Paris peace talks," a compromise
measure was adopted.
Two Sessions

The compromise provided for
two sessions of the board in its
selection process. The first session will be on an invitational
basis, with the votingboardmem-tc- i
s, the outgoing editors and the
director of publications expected
to be present for interviewing
applicants.

time an executive meeting with

be held to consider the

ts

Those who defended the draft

pointed to:

The tremendous

success of

the system in rapidly mobilizing
millions of men during the World

Wars.
The need for local boards
with personal knowledge of the
young men involved. The move
to the cities, however, has resulted in boards with tens of
thousands of men and no such
personal contact as is suggested.
While the debate raged on
and the futures of millions of
young Americans hung in the
balance, author Marmion studied
the proceedings as an onlooker
and as a participant. He was.
employed by the American Council on Education's Commission
on Federal Relations, and assigned to keeping in close contact with the draft law proceedings.
His presentation of these proceedings is objective, but includes his own evaluations and
recommendations
in sections
clearly identified as such, and
includes extensive background
material on the SSS to make the
current events better understood.
Includes Reports
He has included in the appendix of his book:
The text of the report of
the Civilian Advisory Panel on
Military Manpower Procurement,
known as the Clark Report.
The Summary of the Report
of the National Advisory Commission on Selective ' Service,
known as the Marshall Report.
The new draft law and the
executive order which implemented it.
"Selective Service" is interesting reading, not only because
it deals with a subject of great
concern to college men but also
because of the insight it provides into Congressional action
and the characters involved in it.
From the book emerges what
seems to be a fair characterization of the aging Selective Service director, senators and congressmen who favored and opposed each move, and even President Johnson. It's easy to read,
divided into logical and brief
sections which build well to the
final chapter, which describes
the new law. It is
and, thus includes discussion of
events which took place only
months ago.

On Building Castles In The Sky
Somewhere between our first

stopped looking for castles.
It had become increasingly difficult over the years to go on
believing that we could find a
castle. We would climb to the
top of a hill and see one in the
distance; but we always tore our
legs on the jagged edges of our
weekly allowances as we ran down
the hill to end up in a vale without the castle.
We remembered that our castle
was to be a haven where we could
be excited about life as it is. But
when our zeal waxed cooler and

But we had trouble finding an
architect to draw the right blueprints. A castle was to be the perfect
haven for us, not for some design-conscioarchitect who talked
about geometric proportions.
Anyway an aesthetically correct
castle couldn't work because our
castle would have to be perfect for
us with all of our imperfections, not
in spite of them.
We tempered our disappointment with second-guesseCastles,

These were things that could be
done right away without the foolishness of searching for castles in
dreams that might never be.
We rationalized. Living the present spontaneously, we said was a
valid and happy expression of ourselves. But we, of course, were not
living spontaneously. And the present seemed to be part of the past.
And the future seemed far away
so far that we tried to build

We felt as helpless and hopeless as those who walk up and down

Needed For The Kentucky

Ker-

nel
For the second time this academic
year serious questions have arisen about
the kind of news students are receiving at
the University of Kentucky. The most
recent incident was the editorial last
Monday accusing the physicians of the
University Medical Center of possible
malpractice. Also, at the first part of last
year, the editor concluded that "medical,
dental, and divinity students are deferred
from being killed in Vietnam." A five day
study of the facts (that is, the five days
after the editorial was printed) showed
that indeed no medical students had yet
perished in the Vietnam conflict the
defense department waits until after they
gratuate from medical school, then they
send doctors to Vietnam!
Several knowledgable persons raised
questions about the validity of the accusation in the editorial, although this fact
was never publicized. But it seems to us
that in light of the second editorial falsehood which lias again raised questions,
a careful look at The Kentucky Kernel's
operation should be taken.

taken. Most students must rely on The
Kentucky Kernel for accurate news of
campus events during their years here,
and they, as well as other persons who.
read the paper, have the right to be
assured they will receive competant and
accurate reporting of the news.
Even if subsequent investigations
prove that The Kentucky Kernel was irresponsible in purporting these falsehoods
to be truths and we have no grounds
for believing this to be the case at the
present, this would not necessarily indicate that the editors and the staff should
be removed.

A lack of responsible journalism of
all types is common across the country,
and The Kentucky Kernel may be suffering this plight. If this is so, and especially if such a situation turns out to
be a factor in these outrages, then steps
must be taken immediately to properly
staff and equip the school paper.
This truth is at stake.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
I find it necessary to write this letter
out of concern for the student body of the
University and those within that body who
might perhaps be afflicted with the weakness of believing all which they read.
This is a weakness, I might add, which
could and in my opinion is often a particular misfortune at a University with an
editorial staff the caliber of The Kentucky
Kernel.
The January 14 issue of the Kernel
carried an article entitled "Wally Bryan:
n
Our
Board Member." I respect
the right of all men to write and speak
what they wish. This of course must
include the Kernel staff. However, when
an article is so obviously biased and
hypocritical as the editorial of January 14,
a line must be drawn. In my opinion,
Wally Bryan's character and motives in
all he does in connection with the Student Covemment Presidency is above
reproach. But this is neither here nor there.
The article clearly debased and ridiculed
him with such quips as having Bryan
"Jumping through hoops" for trustees and
the inference that he sought the office
solely for the image therein. I was further
disgusted with the attempt by the article
to make it appear that it was "other
students" and not the bitter and feebleminded editorial editor of the Kernel
who labored so vigorously in ccncocting
this journalistic sham. If the editors of
the Kernel feel it necessary to attack
someone as they did Mr. Bryan, then let
them sign the article and not fabricate
Yes-Ma-

'

false support of their views from the
student body support which I very confidently can predict is nonexistent.
As if defamation of character were not
enough,- the article managed hypocritical
statements as well. It blames the students of the University for voting for weak
Student Covemment representatives and
officers who are running for prestige and
a boost into state politics, thus obtaining
a pathetic lack of leadership. This is a
very amusing statement coming from a
paper which
approved of
Wally Bryan when he ran for President
above all other candidates, and now
because of its present whim, has decided
to fill its editorial space with trash such
as that .of January 14.
I am quite disappointed that a school
the caliber of this University must put
up with a paper with editors who must
hide behind the mask of editorial pages
while falsely claiming to speak for the
student body. It is, in my opinion, not
Mr. Bryan who has "no concept ion of what
student power is all about," but the
editors of the Kernel who have delusions
of grandeur of "Kernel Power." It is
not Bryan who is "an image seeker,"
but the editors of the Kernel who are
image seekers and indeed have already
established that image. For, unfortunately, as long as our paper comes forth
with articles such as that of January 14,
it is Indeed "The Joke of the University
of Kentucky Since 1804."

University Researching Experimental City

Midlands, Kentucky.
Right now it exists only on
paper. Rut when and IfMidlands
becomes a real city, it would be
the only one of its kind in the
United States.
Midlands is a model city proposal now being studied by the
UK Research Foundation(UKRF)
under contract with the United
States Department of Commerce

and the Appalachian Regional
Commission.
The primary purpose of the
publicly funded model city would
be industrial development. Officials say it would be similar to
planned communities recently developed in England.
The only model cities which
have been built so far in the
