Ttvo Separate

Marches
Planned For Next Ttvo Months
Anti-Wa- r

By MIKE WINES
Kernel Staff Writer
After a timultuous debate over organization
and tactics, approximately 80 members of the
Student Mobilization Committee voted Wednesmarches
day night to hold two separate anti-win the next two months.
In an hour-lon- g
meeting in the Student Center
ballroom, SMC members argued about their organization's ability to mobilize its forces for one of "'
several proposed activities against the war in Vietnam.
Suggested methods of protesting included a
two-da- y
peace rally in Frankfort, a March demonstration on the steps of the Capitol, an April 15
march on Louisville, and three simultaneous rallies
in Kentucky's larger cities.
Several members spoke out against a March 7
demonstration on the grounds that SMC did not
have time to prepare for it.
"If we do decide on March 7, we have a hell
of a lot of work ahead of us," said Ed Jurenas, a
member of the SMC steering committee. Jurenas
suggested that many students may be rushing at ..

Karl May, another steering committee member,
agreed. "I think what it's going to boil down to is
that we're going to make fools of ourselves," he
claimed. "SMC national has plans for April and I
think it would be wise to coordinate ourselves
with them."
National SMC leaders plan local activities for

demonstration April 15, which would be held in
Louisville or Frankfort.
The proposal was greeted with mixed emotions
by the crowd. John Simon, an SMC member, said
that "if you have three different things going on
in Kentucky at the same time, you'll have peanuts
at each one."
Another SMC member harrangued the crowd
for its inability to come to a decision.
"These aren't going to be New York liberals. . .
limousine liberals," he said in response to a proposal to stage a march April 15 with the aid of the
national SMC organization.
"These are going to be Kentucky people. If we
keep putting this off it's never going to happen.
We've been putting things off in Kentucky for two
years." His statement was met with applause
from the crowd.
March On Louisville
Yet another student spoke up for a march on
Louisville, where many high school students are
actively opposing the war. "They're not in Lexington, not in Frankfort and not in Bowling
Green," he said. "You have to go to the largest
city in the state. That's where the high school
kids would come out."
After much debate, three proposals were brought
to a vote. The first, favoring three simultaneous
rallies, was easily defeated. The second, favoring
two actions one on March 7 and one on April 15
was approved by a slim margin.
The third motion never reached the floor as
arguing erupted between the many factions over
proper voting procedure and the acceptability of
the measure just passed. A few minutes later the
meeting broke up in confusion.
An SMC steering committee member
sized after the meeting the importance of the April
15 march. "This is the base this is the nucleus
where it's starting," he said. The March 7 action,
he claimed, was merely a "tuner" for the April 15
demonstration, which would be coordinated with
national SMC activities.
Chicago Seven
Nevertheless, there were no specific plans for
the April 15 march when the meeting broke up.
One SMC member assured a reporter that a national speaker could be secured for the April 15
march.

"Tentatively we have one of the Chicago

Democrat of Arkansas, chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee and outspoken critic of the Vietnam conflict).
However, no speakers have been committed for
the demonstration. "That's all up in the air," the
SMC member said later. "Our main problem i

M.B. Criticizes Spindletop

GRETA GIBSON
Kernel Staff Writer
"For Dr. Buff to call Spindleis a little

difficult for me to take" was the
reply of Dr. Richard O'Neill,
professor of medicine in the
pulmonary department of the
UK Medical Center.
Dr. Richard O'Neill, one of
three doctors from England
studying the problem of black '
lung at UK, was referring to
one of many comments made by
Dr. Isadore Buff during his talk
to students and faculty members at the University Medical
Center, Wednesday night. Dr.
Buff, of West Virginia, has made
an intensive
study of
black lung.

causing shortness of breath and
dizzyness.
Dr. Buff stated that approximately 146,000 Americans suffer black lung. In the next.
15 to 20 years, he estimates
73,000 will be totally disabled.
He also stated that 7,000 people
died in 1969 with the disease.

No Treatment
"There is no treatment. They
come in choking to death and
we can just patch them up and
send them out again. Prevention is the answer," Dr. Buff
stated.
"In this country we have refused to recognize black lung,
and this is due to industry pressure. Approximately 90 percent
of the hospitals in Eastern Kentucky are owned by the coal
companies, so how are we going
to get a true report?" asked Dr.
Buff.
Dr. Buff referred to the
ay

medical study held by the University at Spindletop, as Swindletop, because he claimed the
representatives there were "paid
agents of the government."
Dr. Richard O'Neill, a renowned pulmonary doctor, commented, "For Dr. Buff to call '

Gov. Scott Attacks Busing

By The Associated Press
The governor of North Caro- lina said Wednesday he would
refuse to authorize use of public
funds for involuntary busing of
school children to achieve integration. The same issue arose in
Newburgh, N. Y., and was expected to arise Feb. 18 in a special legislative session in

At Newburgh, which has an

The spotlight on Judge C. Har- rold Carswell's "white supremacy"
speech of 22 years ago has had the
unfortunate effect of overshadowing
the need for an examination of his
professional qualifications for the
Supreme Court. A man may perhaps
be forgiven for the extravagance
of youthful campaign oratory, although Judge Carswell's claim that
he has long shed all traces of racial
bias would be more convincing
had he shown a more hospitable
attitude toward civil rights during
his years on the bench.
But it is his record as a judge
that makes his selection for the
highest court so difficult to understand. He has not produced any
legal writings. His opinions are,
by and large, pedestrian. His defenders say that, since he functioned
best as a trial judge, he was in a
poor position to blaze legal trails,
but he has not even made a notable
contribution to clarification of the
law.
The most charitable appraisers
of so undistinguished a record must

surely be dismayed by the fact
that well over half of Judge Cars-

well's civil rights rulings were reversed on appeal, many of them
brusquely and unanimously, suggesting not so much a criticism
of his basic philosophy as of his
insensitivity to the issues and his
lack of expertise.

threads that runs through Judge
Carswell's reco
