As indicated in referenced letter, the only known "New Left" activity on Kentucky college campuses of any consequence whatsoever has been at the University of Kentucky (UK), Lexington, Kentucky, and at the University of Louisville (UL), Louisville, Kentucky. On 11/26/68 a source indicated that the UK Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) group was diminishing in size and that at the last three SDS meetings only eight persons attended including steering committee members. The UK SDS group has not advocated violence, and there has been no recent protest activity. No information has been developed concerning any immoral conduct on the part of any UK SDS members. Students for Social Action (SSA) at UL, which organization had reportedly adopted a program similar to SDS, has carried on no unusual activity and the SDS chapter at UL is apparently completely defunct.

Following a period of inactivity during the summer, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), at UK, has had three meetings since the beginning of the 1968 Fall-Winter Trimester. The meetings so far have been concerned with organizational matters and the proposed program. University of Kentucky SDS is cooperating with another Lexington organization, the Community Alliance for Responsible Social Action (CARSA) in protesting the outfitting of Lexington Police with riot equipment. The University of Kentucky SDS also cooperated with CARSA in protesting an appearance of Presidential candidate GEORGE C. WALLACE at the UK Coliseum on 9/14/68. Although a small group of University of Louisville students (5) ostensibly organized a chapter of SDS during the summer of 1968, the purpose was reportedly only to have an additional name to use in a suit being brought by several organizations in an attempt to prevent the functioning of a newly established State Legislative Investigative Committee. This chapter is not active and was not intended to be. 100-449698-27-4 A source has advised that an established previously moderate and relatively inactive campus group at the UL, Students for Social Action (SSA) is considering a program which parallels that of SDS in the source's opinion, although SSA members are ostensibly contemptuous of SDS.
