opinion ends, but some of the
same issues continue.
John O'Brien and his running mate, Oscar Westerfield,
the first candidates to announce,
support a Student Center Board-StudeCongress merger. So do
Carson Porter and Marsha Fields,
the two other candidates, but
their means of achieving t he
merger differ.

While O'Brien and Westerfield propose to take the merger
question to a campus referendum and then the Student Center Board, Porter and Miss Fields
favor continuing "peaceful" negotiations with Student Center
Board members.
O'Brien and Westerfield have
suggested boycotting Student
Center Board programs if the

Board will not agree to a merger
(assuming that the merger is
approved in the referendum).
They argue that too much
time has been lost discussing
the merger with Student Center Board members and claim
that the result of the discussions
was a "dishonest and clandestine defeat for the student b(xly."

'Fair Game' On Friday

UK Cracks Down On Scooters

m

"three-dimensiona- l"

By GENE CLABES

Kernel Staff Writer
Unregistered motorbikes, motorcycles, and motorscooterswill
be"fair game" for campus police
starting Friday, according to
James G. Ruschell, University
director of Auxilary Services.
Recent violations of motor
vehicle, traffic, and parking regulations by these riders have
prompted the University Department of Safety and Security to
establish policy concerning motorcycle, motorscooters, and
motorbikes, Mr. Ruschell said.
Starting Friday these vehicles
found parked illegally on campus
sidewalks and in front of buildings will face a citation tliat will
cost the receiver $2. The owner's

name will be sent to the office
of the Dean of Men or Women.
Mr. Ruschell said the violators
would be required to meet with
the deans.
Vehicles without proper permits and registration will be
towed in as are cars that violate
University parking regulations.
Violations in speeding, riding
on campus grass, and riding on
campus sidewalks will also face
the same penality.
The $2 fee is currently the
only fee the security department
has to charge violators.
Mr. Ruschell cited apparent
violations which presently concern the security department
most are:

1. Driving on the grass causing paths around campus.
"Some riders have been using
the Botanical Gardens as an
obstacle course," Mr. Ruschell
said.
2. Parking directly in front
of doors.
"Many cyclists park directly
in front of buildings and often

bloc k doors."
3. Speeding

on campus and
driving on sidewalks.
"We are greatly concerned
for life and limb with these
motor vehicles running loose on
the campus sidewalks. No one
has been hurt yet, but we are

lucky."

4. Parking on yellow lines and
in front of fire hydrants.

"They have done about
everything in violation of campus vehicle policy," he said.
Mr. Ruschell says a concentrated effort is going to be made
to stop these violations. "We re
going to enforce this policy 24
hours a day," he said.
About 200 of these vehicles
are on campus. According to
Capt. Linton Sloan, campus police, only about 50 have been
registered and have parking permits.
"We won't expect people w ho
don't want to buy permits to
get their motorbikes off campus
this weekend and we'll take this
into consideration," he said.
Plans are to create certain

Steps Toward Safety
Perhaps overlooked in an active
legislative session is a highly significant bill which passed recently
requiring Kentucky motorists to
submit their vehicles to annual
safety checks.
A police chief in a major American city recently estimated that
upwards of 20 percent of all accidents involved faulty vehicles,
suggesting that regular checks
might help cut the ever rising
death toll from accidents.
The safety check requires minimal cost and effort on the part
of the motorist and certainly the
new regulation is one he should
support readily for the sake of his
own safety.
Another important safety mea

sure, however, remains to be made
law. Drivers should be
regularly before being permitted
to renew their licenses. Now in
Kentucky as in most states a driver
is required to demonstrate his
driving skill and knowledge of state
regulations only once when he
first applies for a license. Thousands of drivers who have let slip
the skill and knowledge they acquired for the original test still
have driver's licenses. Many whose
eyesight and alertness have declined still are permitted to drive.
The vehicle inspection measure
will make for a greater safety,
of drivers
but a
even greater demight prove an

longer need their constant care.
With solid education and with time
and energy to spare, they are reaching out for a more significant role
in the larger society.
What kind of jobs can they
find? Some are already prepared
for professional careers which they
began before marriage. Although
sidetracked, they manage to get
back on the road without reeducation. Many more need vocational
guidance and training. With it they
can help meet shortages of teachers,
social workers, government specialists and so on.
Those universities which have
come to the aid of these women
are performing a valuable service.
After five experimental years the
Hadcliffe Institute for Independent
Study has become a permanent
center for women who want to
resume their education. Another
Vocaexperiment, the Seven-Yea- r
tional Workshop held at Barnard
College, has fitted some 400 women

for new careers. By no means all
go out and get paid positions, but
a quarter of them did and others
found satisfying work as volunteers.

Roosevelt University in Chicago has
offered a course called "Discovery"
designed to help home women find
out where their talents lie. It guides
needed educational
to
them
courses. Other colleges are working
along similar lines.
All this means much to those
receiving the help. Many married
women feel a sense of
when their main job of
is completed. The new trainingfills
the gap and gives them fresh
purpose.
But society, too, has much to
gain from the course. EliGinzberg,
economist, who has just completer
a study for Columbia University's
manpower series which he directs,
has written: "The time has come
for our society to realize that women
have half of the nation's most
valuable resource human talent."
Educated married women, with
their experience in family life, have
a special contribution to make in
the field of human relations. They
should not only be welcomed but
sought out and assisted to make
the most of their abilities.

Remarks Merited Scorn
important as the NCAA tourna-

To The Editor:

as

want to commend you and
editorial staff for the editorial
your
"Second's Best," which appeared
in Friday's Kernel. I thought that
the audience reacted against Mr.
Thompson's remarks. The applause
that ensued was sparse, compared
with other presentations.
I feel that the writer of the
editorial did an unusually good
performance in holding the incident
up for the scorn that the remarks
merited.

ment.

I

Not Surprised
To The Editor:
As a member of the UK music
program for the past two years, I
was not surprised that no mention
was made to so much as take a
pep band to the NCAA tournament. This is par for the course.
It seems that the band is expected
to support the University and its

athletic teams but should expect

nothing in return.
Lack of funds and vacation
were the reasons given by The
Courier Journal for the band not
appearing. I would think that a
University which can finance a
southern tour for its baseball team
during the spring break could find
enough money to send at least a
representative band to something

I listened with great indignation as the Western band played
our fight song at Iowa City. We
didn't even get that much of a
break at College Park.
I have heard many complaints
from my fellow bandsmen and students as well about this problem.
I think it's about time something
was done.

Overlooked
Opportunity
Some fine and free musical
entertainment is being overlooked
by members of the University community.
Senior recitals of music students,
often including quality programs
and skilled performers, suffer from
poor attendance. Now only a handful of relatives, friends, and fellow
music majors fill the audience for
these programs, though the programs are numerous in the spring
months, open to everyone, and
free of charge.
The culmination of several
months of practice, the programs
generally represent a high level
of performance. Too often, however, the music students achievements go unknown to all but a
few.

Conscientious Objectors: On The Increase

EDITORS NOTE: This is the
scries on confirst in a two-pascientious ohjection and
as alternatives to
hearing arms. This article deals
with conscientious ohjection.
By ROGER FRIEDLAND
The Collegiate Tress Service
"War will exist until that
distant day when the conscientious ohjector enjoys the same
reputation and prestige that the
warrior does today." John Fitzgerald Kennedy
The current state of world
affairs has greatly increased the
popularity of conscientious objection as a moral alternative to
bearing arms.
On the nation's campuses,
hundreds of male students are
flooding the counseling centers
for conscientious objectors. From
Washington, D.C., threats of
federal investigation and accusations of treason filter through the
wire services.
According to the American
Friends Service Committee in
San Francisco, there are currently 300,000 conscientious objectors in this country. The figure
is constantly climbing as young
men increasingly refuse to bear
anns in Vietnam.
Robert Catlett, a counselor
for prospective conscientious objectors at Turn Toward Peace,
said recently that its counseling
rate had tripled since February,
rt

1965.

Conscientious Objectors in Philadelphia, w hich started to atrophy

a few years ago for lack of busi-

ness, was swamped by a deluge
of mail requesting advice and
information.

As an answer to military conscription, conscientious objection
owes its beginning to the Militia
Act of 1792, which compelled
every white male over the age
of 18 to enlist in his state militia.
Conscientious objectors dur

ing thcCivil War, mostly Quakers
and Mcnnonitcs, were
exempted
from military service cither
by
procuring a substitute or by paythe government $300.

During World War I, when
noninvolvemcnt seemed imixjs-siblPresident Wocxlrow Wilson
pushed legislation through Congress that obligated all men between the ages of 21 and 30 to
register for the draft and servefor
the duration of the war if called.
In addition, Wilson's legislation allowed for members of
religious sects
to serve in noncombat units in
the army.
Caleb Foote, professor of law
at the University of California at
Berkeley, and an authority on the
legal aspects of conscientious objection, estimates that about
conscientious
5,000
objectors
were convicted in civilian courts
during World War I and given
either prison terms or fines. An
additional 500 persons were
d
and sent to prison for
their conscientious objection.
Peace-tim- e
conscription was
first legalized in 1910as it became
inevitable that United States neutrality was a mere chimera as
Hitler's army ripped through
Poland.
The legislation, which passed
the House of Representatives
with a paper-thi- n
margin of one
vote, provided noncombatant service for those whose religious
beliefs, based on a Supreme
Being, would not permit them
to bear arms.
The present Universal Military Training and Service Act
conscientious
grants
objector
status to those who have a
"belief in a relation toa Supreme
Being involvingduties superior to
those arising from any human relation, but does not include essentially political, sociological, or
philosophical views or a merely
personal moral code."
In 1955, the U.S. Court of
Appeals upheld the case of an
agnostic, Daniel Seeger, to obtain
e,

"well-recognize-

status.

The court said,
a moral
equivalent
many
of what was historically considered the response to divine
commands."
Although the court expanded
the grounds for exemption as a
conscientious objector if one had
a consistent belief "parallel to
that filled by the orthodox belief
in Cod," there remain great difficulties facinga prospectiveCO.
who bases his appeal merely on
moral or political grounds.
The vast majority of those who
refused a pair of CI boots and
an M-- l rifle were formulating a
new definition of patriotism.
Service to one's country was
taking new forms, such as VISTA,
the Peace Corps, and countless
variations of social work.
But the new patriotism is
laced with a seemingly anachronistic draft policy that grants deferments only to those who have
the time, energy, persistence and
education to grapple with the
rigorous and exhausting road of
appeal boards, cross examinations by hearing officers and the
scrutiny of federal officials.

Congress, already charging
the anti-dramovement with
treasonous activities, was further
incensed with the appearance at
Berkeley of a mimeographed
pamphlet, "Ways and Means of

The pamphlet, a satire on

about six months ago. The following arc examples oftheadvicc
