You have only two things to fear while attending West- ern: 1. air pollution from car exhaust caused by stu- dents driving ‘round and around seeking a parking space close to their classes; and 2. getting run over by one of those drivers. With the first week of classes came the task of getting back into the swing of things. With this year came the usual park- ing hassle and the new problem of getting from one class to another on an expanded campus. At night the campus relaxed and the center of activity moved to the dorms. PARKING - | Fadl LTY ¢ STAFF PERMITS ONLY | roo 500 MON THRU SAT. % a e gi ey 2 ;e pr ? Like a guardian angel scolding us, campus signs warn of the dangers of wrong doing. Wandering minstrels still roam the campus in search of a friendly group to settle down with for a while and to share a few ballads. 22

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR FRANKFORT, KENTUCKY 40601 August 31, 1970 LOUIE B. NUNN GOVERNOR Dear Student: As Governor and as father of two college students, let me extend a personal welcome to you in the beginning of this new academic year. Kentuckians are proud of the responsible manner in which almost all of our students have responded to contemporary issues and problems. Our confidence in the young is reflected in the unique opportunities that have been afforded for youth participation in public affairs -- 18 year old voting; age of majority for 18 year olds; student repre- sentation on public college governing boards; student membership on state environment regulatory agencies; legislative and administrative intern programs. However, incidents here and across the country now threaten the peoples' confidence in the young. As a result, public attention and concern will certainly be focused on the campus this fall. Traditionally, the university has been one of the primary means for promoting human progress in an enlightened, reasoned manner. It is crucial that our institutions of higher learning continue to be equal to this challenge. All of us must be concerned that disruptive and violent action on the Campus may encourage a public and legislative backlash that could drastically affect the academic freedom we cherish. Furthermore, such a response could seriously undermine our ability to maintain the secure financial base which we have worked so hard to establish for public higher education in Kentucky. You have a personal responsibility to make sure this does not occur. I know you will want to be among the vast majority of responsible students who are working constructively to build a better future and to make sure that our colleges and universities continue to fulfill the educational purposes for which they were established. You have my very best wishes for a productive and enjoyable year. aes vs Lone OUIE B. NUNN Governor Sj A WELCOME TO KENTUCKY? 23
