Approximately 5 blacks burned
copies of the Yackety Yack Thursday in a
display of dissatisfaction with the
yearbook's lack of black students.
At approximately 3:30, several
students gathered at a garbage can in The
Pit. Using rubber cement, the students
ignited their yearbooks and proceded to
rip them into small pieces.

Graduate students will receive Yackety
Yack yearbooks free of charge, instead of
paying S6 as was announced formerly.
The policy change was issued by
Student Body President Joe Stalhngs
Thursday afternoon after conferring with
last year's Yack editor Joe Mitchiner.
student body treasurer Donnie Dale.
Publication Board members and student
legislators.
Explaining the basis for the former
Yack refusal, Stallings said, "last year's
interpretation of the Student
Government budget was that graduate
students would have to pay for their
Yacks."
Undergraduate students, under this
interpretation, had already paid for Yacks
in student activities fees.
"This unfortunate misunderstanding
arose because that decision was made by
someone in last year's administration,"
commented Stallings. "But we
unanimously believe the graduate
students are totally justified in getting a
free Yack."
"1 don't see how we could divide the
money allocated to the Yack from
student fees between graduate and
undergraduate," Dale said. "It was a
block grant."
"Grad students have in fact
contributed to the Yack." said Charles

student who wished not to be identified.
William Holman. a 20-year-old junior,
said he was burning his book because
'they (the Yack) ignored the blacks on
this campus."
Cynthia Crawford, a sophomore from
Durham, said she burned her yearbook
because "I wasn't in the book. But
seriously," she added, "I think blacks are
an integral part of the campus and they
should have been depicted as such."
Many of the students who participated
in the burning took the incident in a
ay
cjaaitiffe
Gilliam, chairman of Publications Board.
"'Although graduate students don't pay as
much in fees as undergraduates,
theoretically they paid like everyone else
did.
Mitchiner ottered an apology
graduate students for their lack
to
of
coverage in the Yack. "This situation
arose by working last year under this
understanding (that graduate students
would not receive a free Yack) from my
superiors." he said. "I did not give them
proper coverage within the schools
because at that time I could not afford to
and had no reason t "
'The misunderstanding arose from the
assumption last year that graduate
students would not be paying the fees,"
he continued.
Yacks will be distributed at the north
side of the Student Union 1-5 Friday.
Students can go by the Yack office in
Suite D of the Student Union 1-5 p.m.
next week.
Student Government and the
yearbook staff do not foresee running out
of Yacks due to the policy change.
Treasurer Donnie Dale said if a reorder
was needed, "it would be the partial
responsibility of Publications Board and
Student Legislature." He said funds for a
reorder would come from the general
surplus of Student Government's budget.
Mitciunci pointed out first year
graduate students are not included in the
new policy.

On a more serious note, several
students said they usually consider the
Yack as just another publication that
ignores blacks. But they added this year's
edition was more than ever a '"group ot
untruthful pictures about the whites of
the frat-jock-sorority group."
Three white students also burned their
Yaeks, but declined to say why they had
done so.

Jim Wellrms, governor ot Morehead.
"'Morehead certainly is more than that."
"The coverage was n-,i rroad enough,
certainly not worth SI 00." he continued.
His criticism A the S100 fee for
coverage was not limited to Morehead
Residence College. "Residence life itself
is an integral part of the University
expenence." he said. ""The Ya.k should
treat it as such and work it into their
theme.
"The day that we pay S100 as an
organization is past," said Wellons.
Governors of the other residence
rnlieees that paid for Yack coverage
generally agreed with Wellons. The
resolution passed unanimously.
"I don't see how any group of people
can make such a statement before they
know the plans for this year's Yack." said
