Dean Defends Existing
Community College Plan
The Associated Press
community college
Any effort to take the it
system away from the University of Kentucky's
control will fail. Dr. Ellis F. Hartford, dean of the
community college system said Friday.
A proposal was made last month by Morehead
State University President Adron Doran that UK's
community colleges should be regrouped and
controlled by the state's four regional universities and Kentucky State College.
The state Council on Public Higher Education
discussed the proposal earlier this month, but
Hartford is confident UK will retain jurisdiction.

"If you are going to split up the community
college system, you ought to give these cities a
chance to take their colleges back." He said that
and Paducah-we- re
two of the colleges-Ashla- nd
schools and merged with the
formerly municipal
university by their own choice.
He said also that cities other than Ashland and
Paducah have equal importance in tle consideration because they donated land sites for the colleges. To remove the units from UK nde, Hartford

contends, would be in violation of the conditions
in those donations.
Hartford added that five of the colleges were
already UK extension centers when the community college legislation of 1962 was passed.

"Civic Support"
The dean said that in addition to community
college faculty and student opposition to Doran' s
proposal, "We've got all kinds of support from the
outstanding civic leaders who make up our advisory boards in each community college city."
Hartford is optimistic about the support of the
state legislature, which has sole power in awarding control to regional universities. However, he
said he is not so sure about the support of the
state Council on Public Higher Education.
He said that the support of the new UK
president, when he is chosen, will be crucial to
the community colleges.
"It will be disastrous if we don't get the same
kind of support and understanding that we got from
former UK President John W. Oswald," Hartford
said.

Cleveland Sellers, a black organizer for the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee, is tentatively scheduled as the featured
speaker for the Draft Memorial Service, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in

Taylor Education Building Room
The program is planned to
coincide with national draft reacsistance day, when anti-dra- ft
tivities will take place across
the nation.
Sellers was present at the disruption last spring at a small
black college near Orangeburg,
S.C. The incident drew widespread complaints of police brutality and suppression. Sellers
also has refused induction into
the armed forces and currently
is between judicial processes.
Other Speakers
Others to speak against the
draft include Raymond Wilke,
a professor of education; Mike
Fall all ay, a student who recently
served notice to his draft board
that he would refuse induction;
Karen Mulloy, wife of draft resistor and former Appalachian
Volunteer, Joe Mulloy; the Rev.
Peter Scott, a Lexington
minister, and
Guy Mendes, Kernel associate
editor.

The service is beingorganized
by the Lexington Peace Council,
SDS and CARSA under the supervision of Bill Allison, who
graduated from the School of
Law last spring. Allison defined
the purpose of the program this
way: "Broadly, it's one of support for young men who are
resisting the draft; it's one of
information for informing the
community more about what the
draft does to individuals, and the
goal is to try
broad,
to arouse enough people so that
public opinion will compel a
change in the draft."
Asked if the goal of the program is to completely do away
with the draft or merely to reform it, Allison said, "We haven't
come to any corporate conclusion,
but we want to educate the people to see the evils of the present
draft system."

Plans To Advertise
The group plans to advertise
the service by leafleting around
the campus and in Lexington's
black communities. Mick
the Peace Council's administration adviser, warned that
the members would be held responsible "for the conduct of
your guests." He expressed special concern over "seditious and
obscene literature" that might be
distributed.
He warned there
could be no public announcement encouraging burning or
turning in of draft cards.
In other action, the LPC issued a "statement concerning
legislation that we recommend
dealing with firearms."
The statement calls for the
registration of all handguns and
rifles; limiting the sale of firearms to persons over 18, and
outlawing all mail order sales.
It also proposes that police be
"reviewed and tested on their
ability and qualifications" to use
firearms.
This statement will be sent
to local businessmen and state
legislators.
LPC also decided to attempt
to inform people of the grape
boycott, particularly the University Food Service and local grocery stores.

Catch-2- 2

Apathetic students are everywhere. Despite the growing mood in
of academic reform an issue clearly in the interest of students
the vast majority on this campus remains uncaring and uncommitted.
The faculty, on whose initiative the action has depended so far,
are the liberals now; the students are the conservatives. These roles
are unbecoming for both.
It is unbecoming for the students because it indicates a lack of
intellectual aggressiveness and concern that is inappropriate for the
educated class. It points up, as well, a lack of concern with their
environment as a whole, and it is this missing concern that most
reveals their failure to receive a liberal education.
But those seeking change now in the academic conduct of the
University run into a common problem: there is a vicious circle that
leaves those who should be asking for a more liberal education uninterested in demanding one. It tends to sound very much like Catch-22- .
An academic Joseph Heller might have written:
Yossarian: Can't you give a liberal education to anyone here who
needs it?
Prof. Danecka: Sure, there's a rule that says I have to.
Yossarian: Now take Orr. Can you educate him?
Danecka: Of course. But first he has to ask me. That's part of the
favor

rule.
Yossarian: Then why doesn't he ask you?
Danecka: Because he's uneducated. He must have no idea of what a
liberal education is to accept what we give him here. But before we
can give him one he has to ask for it.
Yossarian: That's all he has to do is ask you?
Daneeka: That's all. Let him ask me.
Yossarian: And then you can offer a liberal education?
Daneeka: No, then I can't.
Yossarian: You mean there's a catch?
Daneeka: Sure there's a catch. Catch-22- .
Anyone who knows enough
to want a liberal education must have gotten part of one some place,
and couldn't have been here and certainly wasn't in the high schools.
So anyone who asks for a liberal education must be a misfit or an
outside agitator, and there's a rule that we can't teach them.

Kernel Forum: the readers write
To the Editor of the Kernel
In his letter to Kernel, Thursday, Nov.
7, UK Trustee Happy Chandler applies
some unscrupulous tactics.
One of his tactics is to appeal to the
prejudice of the average, ordinary majority
without clearly defining and explicating
exactly what the majority believes.
He makes his appeal by pointing out
that the Kernel does not "represent"
the UK student body. Now we have
heard his argument before, especially by
distinguished members of our alumni. The
argument goes like this: 80 percent of
the student body does not share the
of the Kernel; therefore, the Kernel does not represent the
student body. Now (to risk an analogy) by
Mr. Chandler's thinking, the UK basketball team does not represent the student
body because the players do not dribble,
shoot, and pass like most UK students.
It seems reasonable to me that just
as a ball team should not possess average
g
skills, so a newspaper staff
should not possess average newspaper-writin- g
skills. Therefore, a newspaper
staff should be better informed and more
articulate than the general student population. Consequently, any superior school
paper will not contain staff members who
follow blindly the inbred prejudices of
the majority. Of course, such staff members will occasionally upset groups that
tend to think in conventional terms. Unfortunately for the conventional-orientethe most articulate and best informed
people in America today are the kind
of people that staff the Kernel, the kind
of people that Mr. Chandler's friend Walintellace refers to as "pointy-heade- d
value-judgemen- ts

ball-playin-

d,

lectuals."
Another of Mr. Chandler's tactics is
to apply connotative terminology without
explaining the arguments upon which
these connotations rest. His presumption
of using "tripe" and "stinking sheet"
("stinking" is a naughty word, Mr. Chand

ler) without presenting specific evidence
indicates that Mr. Chandler is so close

to Jehovah and Co. that his postulations
need no support beyond his own testimony.
The most offensive tactic used by
Mr. Chandler is that of the threat, whereby he hopes to frighten the Kernel staff
(and, by extension Kernel advisors and
UK personnel in general) into creating
an administration organ. What Mr. Chandler, by virtue of his own life experience,
cannot appreciate is that he is not dealing
He is
with wishy-wash- y
dealing with dedicated and capable young
men of conviction and intestinal fortitude.
I hope Mr. Chandler will find (as L. B. J.
and Pontius Pilate found) that, in the
long run, intimidation of dedicated and
humanitarian men will strengthen their
cause the cause of bringing down those
who have developed an "arrogance of
power."
Although a member of the Board of
Trustees, Mr. Chandler does not represent the ideals and principles upon which
great universities arise: He abuses his
politically-gaine- d
power to intimidate
those with whom he disagrees; he incorporates ad hominem arguments; and he
advocates mediocrity by applying "average" as the measure of "representation."
I hope these tactics do not represent
the principles of most students at UK.

Pralltown Minister's Efforts Here Ending

Continued from Page One
Representing a loose coalition
of several groups, Fredrickson
met with the city commissioners
and confronted them with a list
of proposals among which were
better police salaries, retirement
of Chief Hale, more black policemen and the establishment
of a civilian review board of the
police department.
One incident during the campaign brought a barrage of criticism down on Fredrickson when
he actually had nothing to do
with it.
A member of the coalition,
UK's Community Alliance for
Responsible Social Action (CAR-SAheld a march from UK to
the city commissioners meeting.
Everyone from the local papers
on up attributed it to Fredrick-so- n
and claimed he led the march.
Though he had knowledge of it,
he did not assist in its organization or participate in the protest.
Not long after the
relations crisis, Fredrick-so- n
announced his resignation
as minister to Pralltown and as
director of Church Community
Services (CCS) a service organization sponsored by 15 of Lexington's churches.
He said he plans to go to
Mexico to further his studies.
Fredrickson said the resignation was "my decision" and not

amount of criticism as many suspected.

15 over two and a half years
after Fredrickson and two other
students from the Lexington
Theological Seminary first moved
into the headquarters of CCS's
first project.
CCS was incorporated in January of 19G6 by eight Christian
Churches (Disciples of Christ).
Fredrickson drew up the original CCS proposal which was
based on a Washington, D. C.
program he had been involved
in. Working for the Urban Institute, he had spent a year in
a Washington ghetto, mainly involved in developing a youth
corps program which helped 1,400
young Blacks find employment.
Fredrickson said the local
churches accepted the CCS proposal because they "were faced
with the problem of relating to
their community," and CCS offered them an outlet. He said
that from the beginning there was
a conflict in that some of the
churches involved wanted CCS
to be a charity-oriente- d
service
organization instead of one which
aided in organizational development and
Set Up Programs
After moving into the small
house which took the three students almost four months to renovate, they set up several community programs such as arts

In July of 19G6, the Pralltown Community Interest Croup
was formed and began to take
over some of CCS's service functions. As this became more and
more prevalent Fredrickson tried
to move CCS more into the direction of an organizing body. This
drew the ire of many conservative
members of the churches supporting CCS.
In the spring of this year
Fredrickson was given complete
control of CCS and was named
organizational director. Prior to
that his title had been lead minister.
As director Fredrickson said
he wanted CCS to become "a
total ministry to the commun. to work towards more
ity
than just a token commitment."
Under his direction CCS became
involved in what he termed "systems analyses" of the Lexington
power structure in order to better determine the position of Lexington's black communities. Two
community centers, one in Pralltown and one in another black
center, Taylortown, were established as were a number of "task
forces" in the areas of urban
education and neighborhood services.
Fredrickson said many prominent members in the city power
structure who were also members
of churches supporting CCS felt
threatened by some of the programs.

'Wasn't Smart'
leading member of Central
Christian Church said Fredrickson "just wasn't very smart. He
was seeking supporting of the
churches while marching on city
hall. They (many church members) weren't interested in seeing
him do that, especially since
many of the people know the
city commissioners and Chief.
