King draws
huge crowd
An over flow crowd greeted the
Rev. Martin Luther King when
he came to speak at the Univer­sity
of Louisville March 30. Rev.
King's speech was given at the
Allen Court Room and many stu­dents,
such as those. pictured
above, found viewing the event
difficult.
Connnents on progranis
Young interviewed
By Tom Thomas
and Nancy Tribble
The Rev. Andrew Young, Ex­ecutive
Director of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference,
has been active in SCLC since
1961. Last summer Rev. Young
helped organize SCLC's attack on
northern slums in Chicago. He has
also eo-ordinated SCLC movements
in B i r m in g h am and Albany,
Georgia.
The Cardinal interviewed Rev.
Young when he was in Louisville
two weeks ago attending a meet­ing
of SCLC national directors.
Q.: Many people in this com­munity
seemed to be concerned
about staff members of SCLC
who are now in Louisville. They
call them "outside agitators."
Could you explain exactly what
their function is?
A.: The SCLC staff that is here
in Louisville was invited by the
Kentucky Christian Leadership
Conference to assist them in or­ganizing
demonstrations against
segregated housing conditions in
Louisville, and in Kentucky gen­erally
.... We think of our staff
as a staff of consultants and or­ganizers
. . . to help do the pro­fessional
and technical job of or­ganizing
people for social change.
Q.: Up-to-date open housing
demonstrations in Louisville have
been generally confined to
marches or sit-ins. There was,
however, one "outsider" who ad­vocated
garbage dumping and
letting chickens loose as means
of protests. What do you think
such tactics could accomplish?
A.: No, I don't think anything
could be accomplished, but I real­ly
think that you were being put
on: that one of the staff that came
in, simply because the community
was not together on what to do
and because a public announce­ment
had gone out that SCLC or­ganizers
were coming in, almost
as a joke went down to City Hall
with a tape measure ... I don't
think we've ever measured any
front of City Hall for any kind of
demonstrations ... this was real-ly
a big joke .. .
Q.: Dr. King in his press con­ference
(March 30) mentioned
the formation of a new division
in SCLC for student involvement
in civil rights issues. For what
purposes will SCLC organize
among students?
A.: I think that everything
we've done has been strongly
aided by the student generation,
but because there was a Student
Non-violent Co-ordinating Com­mittee
and because SCLC primari­ly
concentrated its organizing ef­forts
on local communities where
the whole family was represented
. . . . we've never had a separate
student division ....
More and more we realize there
has been a demand from the col­lege
campuses. . .. We see col­lege
campuses, those that are at
all socially concerned, are getting
very cynical and bitter against
everything, like the Berkeley
crowd . . . they do have some
legitimate concerns, but they don't
have the skills to really imple­ment
programs of change. Rather
than let a whole generation of
concerned students grow bitter
and cynical . . . that it would be
better for us . . . to try to organ­ize
and help them. . . .
Q.: How will SCLC organize
such an "independent student
force" on a college campus?
A.: SCLC will probably provide
one staff person and will prob­ably
provide a budget to train stu­dents
to organize themselves.
Q.: Do you think that the recent
split between more militant civil
rights groups and those, such as
SCLC, which preach non-violence
has alienated students from the
civil rights movement?

Loan
UL
applications up 7 5 %;
upperclassrnen
urged to apply irnrnediately
Applications for financial as­sistance
for the coming year are
running close to 75 percent ahead
of those received by the same date
last year it was announced last
week.
For this reason, Charles F.
Day, director of the Financial Aid
Department at UL, set a June 1,
1967 deadline for all upperclass­men
wishing to apply for finan­cial
assistance for the coming
year. Applications are to be sub­mitted
to the Financial Aid Of­fice.
This includes all financial aid
-National Defense, Health Pro­fession,
State Guaranteed Loans,
Federal and University scholar­ships
and work programs.
There y.rill be, according to
Day, no exceptions and any ap-plications
submitted after June 1,
1967 will be automatically re­turned.
Day warned that if this dead­line
is not met, many upperclass­men
who have had loans and
scholarships in the past will be
left without funds for the coming
year. Although no cut is expected
in federal, state, or University
funds for the coming year, ap­plications
received to date are ap­proximately
75 percent ahead of
those received by the same date
last year.
"The majority of applications,"
he continued, "received so far
have been submitted by entering
freshmen and if upperclassmen
are not prompt they may be left
without aid for next year."
