UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

Trustees Hear
Testimonies On
Speaker Policy
GEORGE JEPSON
Managing Editor
The Board of Trustees' Committee on the University's speaker policy heard testimony from
some 20 students and faculty
By

members during a
open hearing Tuesday.

The

committee

four-hou-

r

comprises

board members George W. Griffin Jr., Mrs. Rexford S. Blazer,
Dr. Robert Rudd of the College
of Agriculture and Dr. Paul
Sears of the Chemistry Department.
A policy statement must be
ready when the state legislature
meets in January. Griffin felt
that the statement finally adopted "would be accepted" by the
legislature.
A statement on the University's policy toward outside
speakers was promised some 18
months ago by then President
John VV. Oswald.
The board had awaited the
arrival of a new president before implementing the policy
because, as Griffin said, 'The
new president certainly should
have something to say about
what would be in it, and it does
have the approval of Dr. Single-tarcertainly in principle."

UK Proposed Budget Forwarded
To Council On Higher Education
By BILL MATTHEWS

Coordinator of Program Budget Planning Donald Clapp commented that since he came here in
1963 the University has never received the amount
it requested in its budget. The appropriation has
always been lower than requested.
The amount the University is allot ed seems to
be a function of the amount of money available
to the state for higher education more than any
other factor.
Clapp indicated that the legislature has given
higher education "very sympathetic hearings at all

'Library Burning' Illuminates Campus Ills

SAN FRANCISCO (CPS)-- In
my nearly four years of covering
the campus I've found myself
spending late evenings with
Trotsky, Marcuse, Dewey and

others meticulously trying to siphon from their voluminous
works some formula that would
be helpful in explaining the terrible absurdity of the university
today.
I, personally, was at a loss
to extrapolate generalities from
the hideous events of demonstrations or academic tragedies. And
Trotsky's dialectic, while it could
almost be applied to any
didn't seem to enlighten the situation, only burden
it. And Marcuse seemed only to
agree with my observations and
could supply no real understanding. Dewey, Hutchins, Schles-singthe whole team just
couldn't come up with any viable explanation for why things
were so incredibly messed up.
er

the University," or, "The University of Tomorrow." But, "We
just couldn't do that," Rapoport
explains. "There were no ways
of telling what would happen in
a year. Nothing could be pinned
down."
So the book quickly changed
character and came out as an
interesting series of anecdotes.
With his almost insidiously macabre smile Rapoport now boasts,
"We got everything funny into
it." But to me the book is not so
funny as frightening. For the first
time r seem to realize that what
happens in the universities is not
so muchdependent on thedynam-ic- s
of the educational complex.
The understanding of why this
president calls in cops or why
that one doesn't, has little to do,
really, with tradition, or branches
of university government, or the
structure of the university at all.
It is in part explained by the
kinds of people that run our universities. The cartoonists' character of a university administrator as an
bungling
fool who is sometimes caught up
in hopes for prestige or recluse
in timidity, are really more true
than the literati's interpretation
of him as a master of craftsman
of education. Rapoport and
Kirschbaum's book succors this
characteristic.
And with such arbitrary penetrable fools at the heads of our
nation's educational institutions,
the university becomes dangerously susceptible to the whims
and biases of the community in
which it is placed. Thus, the
southern university is the most
brutal segregationist, and the Ivy
League the most arrogant elitist.
The book will no doubt be
viciously attacked. The stories
about what really happens in
universities have been stripped
.of their academic qualifications,
their "prpperV presentations, or

CORRECTION
The article on the 1969 ' Kentuckian that appeared on page
3 of the Kernel Nov. 10 stated
that the Kentuckian staff had
received complaining letters and
that copies of the book had been
returned. It has been learned
that no such letters were received
and that only one Kentuckian
has been returned to date.
I think the book, "Is the Library Burning?," to be released
this fall by Random House, does
a lot to simplify the search for
understanding the university today. When Roger Rapoport and
Laurence Kirschbaum began
writing it, they had glamorous
intentions of discussing such

On December 2, 1963, his first
school day as Acting President
of San Francisco State College,
Hayakawa welcomed 600 police
to campus at 7 a.m. Urging moderation with students, he vainly
tried to get police to wear floral
leis as peace symbols. Later in

the morning Hayakawa demonstrated his own language and
thought in action by charging
through a student mob and ripping the wires out of a soundtrack. As photographers snapped
his picture for front pages across
the country, Hayakawa beamed
and said "It's the most exciting
thing since my tenth birthday
when I rode a roller coaster for
the first time . .
During the next two weeks
he was engulfed in the politics
of joy. Hayakawa watched appreciatively as the police prodded
strikers across the campus commons. Suburban police departments begged for a chance to
send their rookies to the campus
for some spring training. But
Hayakawa only had eyes for his
seasoned regulars. From the win-d- o
w , of .his, office he marveled
'

at the police efficiency. "It was
a pleasure to see their training
improve as the days went on."
On January 23, when police sur-

rounded 459 students attending
an "illegal rally" and arrested
them, Hayakawa experienced nirvana. "It was a perfect police
sweep, a complete Joy to watch.
I'm sure it will go down in
police manuals as a classic maneuver, a textbook case."
By the time the strike ended
in March 1969, Hayakawa had
become a national celebrity. He
had visited with President Nixon,
spoken before Congress, appeared
on national television countless
times, and joked with reporters
about running for "Emperor of
California." At the University of
Colorado he put on his famous
and did a dance
in rhythm to the derisive chants
of dissident students.
But most of the time Hayakawa was busy courting middle
class audiences. His
tough style was seen during one
of his speaking tours in the late
spring of 1969. While traveling
by jet to a meeting in Los Angeles to a meeting of the Pacific Coast Electrical Contractors Association, Hayakawa
glanced at a copy of the campus
paper, the Daily Cater. He had
cut off the paper's funds and
er

tried to have it banned for its
less than sympathetic coverage
of his regime. The paper survived
independently through ads and

benefits. Turning to public relations aide Harvey Yorke, Hayakawa asked, "Aren't these kids
all working in university facilities, can't we throw the little
bastards out?" Yorke, a
veteran of the Air Force, shook
his head. "I wouldn't try anything until summer vacation."
Hayakawa sputtered, then leaned
back in his seat and dozed off.
During the limousine ride
from the airport, an
20-ye-

electrical-contractin-

akawa if the campus activists

were being led around by Moscow. Hayakawa denied it. "I
resent the notion that outsiders
are running this thing. We're
quite capable of growing our
own sons of bitches right here
on campus."

Thanks to the strike,
office had all the comforts of home a big TV, a
liquor cabinet and a refrigerator. "I enjoyed myself immensely during all the rioting,"
he said, beaming. "Whenever
there was any trouble, I stocked
up for lunch in the office. From
then on the biggest problem was
whether to have sardines or pate
de fois gras."

After giving a fairly true rendition of Bobby Russell's Forbidden

Now first off, he gives it 8:37

Jolly's piano ramblings, which

But Alpert at least gave it

Extended Bus Service Discussed At 'Student Day'

By MIKE WINES
Kernel Staff Writer
Extended bus services, parking spaces, and new hours for
open houses were among the main

opened "partially" to students
if parking patterns dictate the
need.
Police protection for women
was discussed and students were
told that the entire security force
of the campus is now being utilized. Women were encouraged to
report incidents so police could
concentrate on areas posing the
greatest threat.

Jennings noted that the route
should prove to be equal to the
needs of the students, but said
that suggestions were welcome
and should be given to the Student Services office in the Student Center.
The new bus service will continue until the end of the semester when its usefulness will
be evaluated by Jennings and
the University Safety Director,
Joe Burch. A meeting was scheduled with the Lexington Transit
Company today to finalize the
proposed routes.

Chod Jennings, Student Government director of student services, outlined the new plans for
bus routes at the meeting.

warned against

competitor and continued diligence is required."
Constant criticism over the
cost of the space program and
the possibility of applying its
funds to domestic issues was
seen by Carpenter as "no solution." Cancellation of the space
program would be fruitless because "we pollute the world with
people."
Instead of rejecting the space
program, Carpenter expressed the
hope that the nation would "be
patient with what we have
learned from the technology we
used to send man to the moon."
The space technology when
applied to. vital areas has proved
successful, as in the valuable
use of computers in the medical
field, and without this progress
made through the technology,
Carpenter remarked "We'd be
ten years behind."

Switching his talents from
that of the space program to the
oceanography research program,
a move necessitated by a genuine
desire and an injury to his arm
during flight. Carpenter explained that he "likes it better
. . . nobody
appreciates it."
Similarities in problems of
space and sea were evidenced
by the "strangeness" of viewing
two men speaking to each other
and to the television audience
while on the lunar surface yet
two men on the ocean floor are
"deaf mutes" since they cannot
see, hear, talk "nonavigation."
Concerning the continuing
complaint "why the moon?,"
Carpenter explained, "we must
have faith in the value of truth."
"Man's curiosity is one of his
finest gifts," and it is this "curiosity" which man is attempting
to cure by expeditions such as
those to the moon or the ocean,
for "on the moon lies knowledge
itisthe Rosetta stone."
Viewing both his areas of experience, space and the ocean

depths, Carpenter observed that
he had a "unique opportunity"
to be a participant of both programs, and he expressed the hope
that others might be as fortunate. "Anything man can imagine, he can accomplish . . . anything man sets his mind to he
can do . . . nothing is impossible
for the human intellect."
