also endorsed "voting in the streets" as an alternative
to 1968's political clioices.
'Political Crap Came'
The Black Panthers, in a statement last week, called
on American blacks to "break up this rigged technological political crap game, pick our money up off the
wood and demand a brand new pair of dice from the
liouse."
"It is very clear," says Cleaver, "that there is no
way left for us to offer any opposition through the traditional political machinery. These merciless demagogues
have so firmly grasped this machinery in their clutches
that even the white supporters of McCarthy and Kennedy got all the fat whipped off their heads in Chicago . . .
"The pigs of the power structure have taken off
their masks and revealed themselves to be precisely
what we have always known them to be murderers,
liars, miserable genocidal wretches. They are plotting
our death. What do you think this featherweight, featherbrain racist George Wallace has up his sleeve for niggers? Extermination. The final solution to the Negro
problem.
"We don't have to go for that. That's not our issue.
That's not the goal toward which black people have
been struggling, dying for these painful 400 years. Our

still have faith that a vote can do something are at
the polls today, thousands of others who have lost that
faith are planning demonstrations and other protest
activities to point out the "hollowness" of the electoral
process.
Activities will range from the cynical (students at
Cleveland's Case Western Reserve University plan a
teach-i- n
on "Election 72; Reform or Resistance?")
to the more direct action of picketing polling places
and staging marches in major cities.
The Mobilization Committee to End the War in
Vietnam, claiming the current Presidential campaigns

demonstrations
of "law and order" slogans, plan anti-wa- r
and a major boost for CIs who have taken anti-wa- r
stands.
Although Mobe leaders say they will attempt to keep
the demonstrations peaceful, SDS National Secretary
Mike Klousky calls the organization's plans "Chicago-styl- e
street protests," and says whether the demonstrations remain peaceful or not"dependsonthepolice."

necessary."
Festival Of Life
The Yippies, in a much different tone, call on young
people to go into the streets today and "demand the
bars be open. Make music and dance at every red
light. A festival of life in the streets and parks throughout the world."
"The American election represents death, and we
are alive," says the Yippies' call. "Let's vote for ourselves. Me for President. We are the revolution. We will
strike and boycott the election and create our own

reality."
In the typical hyperbolic language that struck fear
of sabotage into the hearts of the Chicago police and
Major Daley, the Yippies call for LSD in the water
supply, orchestras in the streets, and dragging of minis-

ters from voting booths.
"Let's play tribute to rioters, anarchists, Commies,
runaways, draft dodgers, acid freaks, snipers, beatniks,
deserters, Chinese spies," they say. "Let's exorcise
all politicians, generals, publishers, businessmen, Popes,
American Legion, AMA, FBI, narcos, informers."
The Yippies are also planning their descent on Washington for inauguration ceremonies for their candidate,
Pigasus, simultaneously with that of the next President.

Group Wants Changes
In Board, Editor Selection

OZIQ
By JANICE BARBER
Assistant Managing Editor
OZIQ, a group of students
expressing dissatisfaction with
the Kernel, Monday night outlined a proposed revamping of the
Kernel through a restructuring
of the Board of Student Publications and a change in the selection process for the Kernel
staff.
Barry Ogilby, president of the
and
Interfratemity Council,
Frank Coggins, a senior in Business and Economics, presided
at the short meeting before a
group of approximately 20 leaders
of campus organizations and interested individuals.
OZIQ, which has been circulating a petition on campus expressing dissatisfaction with the
current Kernel policies, had not
previously publicly identified its
leaders or its specific proposals.
Allowing no debate, but presenting a straight commentary
on the proposed changes in the
Kernel, Ogilby said the meeting
was "to clarify the positions of
OZIQ." "Our goals don't include

destruction of the paper," he said,
"but a change in its structure."
May Be Referendum
Ogilby said that the proposed
restructuring is being aired now
to test to see if there is. significant backing for a change in the
Kernel in the suggested direction.
Ogilby said if the student backing is significant there may be
a referendum on the proposal
or submittance of it to the Board
of Trustees.
He said the proposal was a
challenge to reform the Kernel.
He added that if there were not
significant student backing for
the change, e would support
the paper the student body
wanted.
Ogilby said that there are a
number of other members of
OZIQ and he was only chairing the Monday night meeting
with Coggins.
Centering its attack on the
Board of Publications, the publisher of the Kernel, OZIQ called
for a change in the makeup of
the Board and for the selection

election from six candidates
chosen by the Board.
Research Proposal
Ogilby said that the proposed
draft was not a "spur of the
moment proposal," but a research
proposal after four and one-ha- lf
years of investigation.
Coggins cited his dissatisfaction with the Kernel in its "persistent failure to follow sound
journalistic practices." He alleged that the Kernel has compensated news holes with opinion
and undertaken personal attacks

Student Code Attacked

Student Suspensions Challenged
By DANA EW ELL
Assistant Managing Editor
The Student Code came under attack Monday night by several members of the University
(Faculty) Senate.
Robert Sedler, Law College
professor, took issue with the

section of the code dealing with
student discipline, which gives
the vice president for student
affairs the right to impose temporary sanctions upon students
"accused of an offense against
the University andor against the
city, state or federal government,
the nature of w hich may present
a clear and present danger of
serious physical or mental harm
to the student or to any other
member of the University community or to University prop-

erty."

Setller, speaking in behalf of
the S (Student Rights) Committee of the American Association
of University Professors, said,
"What happened here was the
very thing we feared." He was
referring to the recent suspension of two students. Allen I lohn-gre- n
and Eric Friedlander, who
were arrested Oct. 21 fwr violation
of narcotics laws.
"These students may be found
to be totally innocent, and yet
they w ill have lost a full semester

in this country we presumed a
person innocent until proven

guilty."

Final Disposition
Sedler suggested that a student c harged w ith a serious crime
in a court of law should be allowed to attend class "with restraints on the physical activity

of the student until such time
as final disposition has been made
of the case
Jack Hall, dean of students,
objected to Sedler's suggestion on
the grounds that the University
does not have the capacity to
keep students, accused with such
crimes as rape or arson, under
surveillance.
"I don't see why we could
not use one of our campus policemen, which, I believe, we
have in abundance," Sedler answered. "To the extent that we
supervise the campus to keep
people off then we ought to be
able to supervise the activities
of these same people."
Dr. Ralph H. Weaver, who
drafted the proposed revised version of the University governing
regulations and who was chairman of Monday night's meeting,
said he would bring the oint
before the Faculty Board Committee for review.

Student Code
The Student Code, w hich w as
adopted by the Board ofTrustees
May 2, 1967, but never added to
the governing regulations, has
been included in the proposed
revision by Dr. Weaver, who
feels that it sltould be a part
of the official governing statement of the University.

On Understanding Black Rage

By TERRY DUNHAM
Assistant Managing Editor
BLACK RAGE. By William II.
Crier, M.D., and Price M.Cobbs,
M.D. Foreword by U.S. Senator
Fred R. Harris. 213 pp. Basic
Books, Inc.
The unasked questions in
Black Rage are shouted out of
consciousness-Watt- s?
the reader's
Black Militancy? The
Black Muslims? The failure of
the Black male as family head?
and are answered simply by
two Black psychiatrists who present an overview of Black problems and frustrations, a foundation of understanding of the motives which stirred these cities,
these men, these issues and much
more.

It is only a foundation, for
the doctors begin their considerations with the earliest slave
trade and conclude in the present.
The cover's claim that the book
"reveals the full dimensions of
the inner conflicts and the desperation of the black man's life in
America" is blatant exaggeration,
but it is to the authors' credit
that they have succeeded in
formulating a general theory applicable to the diversity of Black
problems of today.

The chapter titles indicate the
breadth of their hypothesis:
"Who's Angry?"; "The Shadow
of the Past";"AchievingWoman-hood- "
and "Acquiring Manhood"; "Marriage and Love";
"Character Traits"; "The'Prom-isof Education"; "Mental Illness and Treatment"; "How
Come There's So Much Hate?"
and "Black Rage."

involved when a slave woman
aborted could be set against the
gain to be expected from forcing
her into brutish labor while she
was with child," has driven Black
men not to madness but to the
very brink of it, they say. Here
the race suffers from a mental
rage that may erupt at any time
and which begs to be

Their presentation is a simple
one, written not for other psychiatrists but for the high school
or college student; the curious
Black; the suburban housewife
or factory laborer. The therapy
they prescribe is not for whites,
but for Blacks, a prescription
for continuing "Black Rage," a
cultural norm which demands
that Blacks, "to a degree that
approaches paranoia, must be
ever alert to danger from their
fellow white citizens." To do
otherwise will subject the individual to overwhelming despair
from violated trusts and continued personal injuries.
Perhaps most important to the
doctors' hypothesis is the Black
mother and the effects the method
she must employ in raising her
children has on them in later life.
Children Conditioned
The most important lesson the
mother of slave children could
teach her offspring was the one
necessary for survival: acceptance
of good and bad treatment alike
at the hands of the owner without reaction. The only way she
could teach this lesson was by
conditioning the children to such
treatment, and to do so she had
to forego the normal love of
the mother-chil- d
relationship.
"It is inconceivable that a
man could love and value himself and survive as a slave,"
the authors propose. The mother
therefore ministered harsh and
frequent punishment, not necessarily warranted by the children's
behavior, and made no effort to
instill youngsters with any strong
pride that might make the oppression they faced insufferable. In--

C

stead, the young Black was
taught to repress his anger, control his response, and endure,
and his emotions seethed within.
Oppression did not end with
emancipation, however, so that
even today it is necessary for
Black children to be raised in a
like manner for their own well
being. But from this early frustration and lack of love developed
many emotional difficulties, and
they questions of sex identity,
virility, inferiority are each considered and related to the point
of view which continues through
Black Rage.
It is the structuring of these
relationships that gives Black
Rage its interest, its importance,
its appeal, and its value.

Violence Is Of White Community, Frederickson Says
By FRANCES DYE
The Rev. Craig Frederickson,
a proponent of improved community-police
relations, criticized police and poor relations
between blacks and whites last
night.
Speaking before about 20 people at the Sigma Phi Epsilon
fraternity house, The Rev. Mr.
Frederickson said "the problem
of police in this community is
not a new one.
"It's been a real problem not
just here but in many sections
of the country, and many white
people weren't aware of this.
"Violence has never been one
of the black community but of
the white community perpetrated
on the blacks."

He said a major problem was
a lack of measures for restitution
for black people, and related
a 1965 experience with black people and police.
Police Were Cursing
After a Pralltown baseball
game, he said, he went into a
cafe to watch TV. He heard
a noise, went out and saw three
black people being pushed into
an unmarked police car. Police
were cursing, pushing and staving.
"We went down and tried to
work through the myriad of red ,
tape to get the people released.
We had a hard time from the

a judge out of bed around 6
a.m. to get the people out."
The upshot of the issue, he
said, was that the three were
released on bond. In police court
the next day, the case was "just
dismissed."
"When I would try to explain these situations to people
they couldn't conceive of things
like this happening."
Convention Riots
The Rev. Mr. Frederickson
said riots at the Democratic National Convention in August compelled a concerned group to action.
"When Chicago came about,
I felt that here was the time all
Americans could see that not
only black groups, but students
and any resistance groups would
be threatened by the power struc-

ture."

The next day he issued a statement on repression and called for
city commission to meet with the
movement. "The statement I issued was directed not just to
black people but to white people as well, about police rela-

tions."

The people in the depressed
areas wanted more constructive
programs, such as more black
policemen, community review

process, and recreational facilities, instead of spending money
measures.
on anti-ri-

'Up Tight'
"We were really up tight about
the situation that if there were
trouble there was no recourse
to action except through the police review board run by the

police."

The upshot of the meeting
was creation of a Human Relations Committee. Present plans
call for bimonthly meetings with
the police Community Relations
Committee.
"The Human Relations Committee will try and work with
this group. But I think every
time they try to get a policy
change the police department and
Chief Hale will try to
this," the Rev. Mr. Frederickson
said.
He called for a police force
that is more sensitive to black
people. "You don't have the
'docile colored folk' but a sensitized,
becoming
increasingly more militant group,
and I don't think thepoliceknow
how to cope with this."
Bad Attitudes
Some local policemen hold
bad attitudes toward the blacks,
but for every one of these, there
are young, sensitive policemen

who are trying to do a good job,
he noted.
The Rev. Mr. Frederickson
pointed to a lack of concern
on the part of many whites.
"Many white people know what's
going on and won't do anything."
A person from the audience
asked "What can a concerned
white man do?"
"Co talk about open housing
and the issues in the white
neighborhood that's where the
hatred and violence is."

It should now be clear to every

endangering others or of endangering the property of the University?
Again no answer can be given,
since no guilt of any act has been
established.
Clearly, unless we are to believe that the office of the Vice
President for Student Affairs is
incapable of reasoning properly,
there is some other motive to the
suspension of these students. There
are few answers to what this motive
is, and the ones that present them-- ,
selves are not pleasant to discuss.
The most likely motive (and the
least pleasant to discuss) is the
desire on the part of the Univer--:
sity administration to use Fried-landand Holmgren as sacrifices
to the forces who are crying for at

arrested on marijuana charges, perhaps some members of the administration hoped to alleviate some
of the pressure from the yahoo
elements in this state.

student at the University that the
Student Rights Code
is a sham and that any student who
is looldtag for protection of his individual liberties should look to
some source other than the Administration of this institution. The
suspension of two students who
have been arrested on drug charges
should be a cause of great alarm
toTevery member of the University
community.
The two students were sus--,
pended under a clause of the Rights
Code which permits such actions
by the Vice President for Student
Affairs if the nature of charges
against students "may present a
clear and present danger of serious
physical or mental harm or to any
other member of the University
community or to University propmuch-praise-

d

,

er

erty."
This clause merely codifies one
of the types of actions which the
Code was supposed to guard
against: The punishment of students for an offense prior to their
trials in the normal legal channels.
The students have not been
proven guilty of something by the
office of student affairs. It might be
instructive to try to understand
just of what they have been found
guilty.
Are the students guilty of endangering themselves? That can't
be determined because they haven't
been found guilty of doing anything. Are the students guilty of

processes at UK is minimal at best;
as we have just seen, it can be

If this is the case, it is a sad
comment indeed upon the integrity
of the men who make decisions
about. how students will be dealt
with. It strikes to the very heart
of freedom for students; and institutions where the people do not
have freedom are prisons, not
schools.

non-exista-

What is to be done, then, to
insure that student rights are respected, that the University does
not set itself up as judge and jury
for every student that runs a foul
of the vaunted Lexington Police
Department? Clearly a first step
is the recognition by students that
they will have to protect their own
rights, that there is no benevolent
old man on the hill who has the
best interests of students at heart.
What students will have to realize
is that this University is run on the
basis of practical politics and that
the administration of students is,
for some people in power, merely
a political exercise necessary to keep
their jobs.
With this background information, the only real hope is for students to organize themselves so that
there will be no repetition of this
performance. Students will have to
learn that so long as there is no
justice in the administration of
justice, there is no order in the law
which defines that justice.
And if the University is to expect
students to place any stock in what
it says in the future, it will have to
make great changes in its ways.
The place to start cleaning up UK
is in the offices where men decide
to suspend students for
reasons and an excellent way to
start is to
Friedlander
and Holmgren, now.

But beyond the question of the
motives of the men who made the
decisfon to suspend Friedlander
and Holmgren, the decision shows
clearly the precarious position of
students at this University. It
should be clear, as we said before,
that the fact that student rights
are codified does little to protect
them from erosion by academic
bureaucrats.
The fact is that the rights code
is meaningless without interpretation. And the administration does
all the interpreting around here.
The amount of say that students
have with regard to the judicial

of America has risen from a previous
of 43 through the spring of '68
high
to a record 8,264 last Tuesday. These
applications come not from draft doggers
escaping from rice paddy marches or "let's
storm the hill." They are healthy, patriotic Americans revolting against "Run
'em down." They like mother, apple
pie . . . .but who's Spiro Agnew? The
guy with 20 feet and a mouth big enough
for 21. Like white socks, "Soft on Communism" went out in the 1950's. Or does
Spiro wear white socks?
One candidate vowed he'd never run
after a disheartening thumbs down by
Califomians. His dramatic and "last"
political speech, amid tears, was made
in the tradition of a long line of actors if
only people had known of his acting
abilities, he might have made it as governor. Nevertheless, his decision to run
reflects the movement to bring honesty
back to government.
That other party at least has a different image. Not even the survey polls
have made Happy sullen, who keeps
trim by running newsman along the beach.
It's great the way he says that if elected,
he'll be the one to stop the bombing of
North Vietnam, while Johnson is already
making plans to do so. His running mate
runs around the country like the lost
Musketeer In search of a damsel in distress. No one knows when he'll be back.
I didn't mean to Joke about the candidates, but I couldn't think of anything
else to say. They're a bunch of nice
guys who happen to also be candidates

!f"l

for the highest elected office of this country. But in the past there seemed to be a
different set of candidates, though it now
seems that the second time around might
do it for one of the candidates. If so,
will Washington really be annexed by
the adjoining state of Maryland to become the "city of law and order."
With two weeks left, the election seems
to be lacking the zest of past ones. Spiro
doesn't want to "showboat" his campaign by visiting any more slums j if
you've seen one, you've seen them all.
Nixon won't debate does he still have
trouble tying his tie. Will people have
to fight off the "fat Japs"(another slip)
to vote on election day? Or will they
want to?

rTo the Editor of the Kernel:
As a UK student and a UK telephone
operator I feel I can enlighten Patricia
.Crifrin (Oct. 8, 1968 Letters Section).
It is obvious that she is ignorant of the
operations of the UK switchboard.
In the first place, a caller is never
placed on hold; he is merely relieved of;
hearing the ringing which occurs when!
the operator completes the call.
In the second place, the only time,
,a caller is a iked to spell a simple name
is when the caller is so inarticulate that
a spelling is necessary.
Thirdly, if a student moves to a dif--1
ferent residence it is his responsibility,
to inform the UK information service
jof the change. We have only the numbers
supplied by that department.
Furthermore, we have ito way of know
numbers until the Stu-'deing
Government publishes the Student'
Directory. This Directory is our only
numbers.
