The University had installed a

Donovan pay stations hoping to
discourage the taking of the
phones. The telephone was stolen
anyway.
Clyde Lilly, Maintenance and

telephone company or the University could construct would only
serve as a padlock. He summarized
the problem saying, "Anything we

Donovan's phones were last

$25, respectively.
Since there is no meter on the
phones the company couldn't estimate the amount of money in

The constitution is now being
written by a committee composed
of members of the movement.
Dean of Men Leslie L. Martin,
adviser to SC. said yesterday the
organization would have to work
through the "proper channels" in
order to gain power on campus.
This would entail, he said, approval by the University Faculty's
Committee n Student Organisations, and then election to SC
as a regular political party.
Dean Martin said he had not

PASADENA, Calif. (AP)
Seymour Ziebert roams the globe on
a continuing quest for guns
He finds them by the hundreds
of thousands. But still he keeps on.
And because he does, thousands
of Americans have been able to
set themselves up for hunting at

this by buying Id military rifles

The firm can sell weapons overseas, but only with State Department permission for each deal.
"We were approacned

Fidel Castro in Cuba," General
Manager Walter E. Anderson says.
"Each time we said we'd be happy
to ship the guns if they'd get an
export license from the United
States government. That stopped
them each time."
Ziebert traveled 230,000 miles last
year, including three trips around
the world.
He sometimes hears criticism of
the United States among his overseas firearms contracts.
"Our Constitution says it is the
right of every free man to bear
arms." he tells them. "I tell them
that only in a true democracy can
the citizens be trusted with firearms.
"This point makes a very strong
impression, particularly in the
many countries where the right to
bear arms is denied."

Truth For Sale

In Kentucky, where low caliber
teaching presupposes low salaries and
athletic facilities excel educational
facilities, there is a clear need for
more people with college educations.
And to effectuate the ideal situation,
there is an extensive need for more informed people with an incentive toward getting an education.

as well as social aspects of college.
Scholarships arc often available to
eligible people who are unaware of
them and therefore do not receive
them. An increasing number of loans
are available to people who wtit
heretofore disinterested localise of
economic factors.
The committee can work toward

Too many people arc unaware of
the need and purpose of educational
reward. Only 2 percent of the people
in Kentucky have a college degree,
half as high as the national average.
In many areas there is a virtual void
of information about college and consequently, there is little incentive.

alleviating the ignorance and misconceptions of college prevalent in
various areas of the state. Some people
are unaware of exactly what college
invo'ves, and many are lesct with
ideas about "book
learnin'." They have a vague notion
that college is intended for people
in a category far beyond their vision
and experience. They cannot aspire to
something of which they have a misconception or know nothing. Some
aren't adverse to information; they
just don't know it exists.
But when they learn what they can
do with an education, they can be
encouraged to get one. By approaching their positions with enthusiasm
and the intention of effective communication, the members of the Committee of 240 can bring about a
greater understanding of the purpose
of education and the various means
of getting it. Although set up not as
a recruiting committee, but as a committee to inform, it can undoubtedly
awaken some people to the value of
higher education.
Truth, in effect, is the strongest
propaganda.

With the realization of our educational needs, students themselves have
an opportunity to help inform Kentucky about education. Students who
were disgusted with the cultural
apathy of their hometowns can do
something about expanding the educational visions of those towns.
The Committee of 240 is a group
of students serving 'as a link between
the University andfstate communities
to advise and iilform Kentuckians
candidly about college life and policies. Ideally, the committee is composed of two UK students from each
of the state's 120 counties.
Utilizing its full capacity, the committee can enlighten groups of citizens in most areas of the state, informing them of policies, budget, enrollment, admission, and scholarships,

Leaving the

down to the basement for the inauguration of the new Senate subway train,
designed to whisk senatois fiom their
new office building a thousand feet to
the capitol in exactly 3 seconds.
This project has lecn ciitici.ed, mostly
by some of the senatois themselves, as
a horrendous, expensive Ixxvuloggle. But

President Eisenhower had scurried

Anyone who moved fast enough, and
who didn't mind if his ears took a leat-incould listen to nine senators speak
at one spot or another, including four
full fledged news conferences.
So let's get into the

Symington
Because Symington is often mentioned
as a possible presidential candidate, he
drew a full house. He has just returned
from Africa, but nobody cared much
alout this. Most reporters seemed interested only in his presidential hopes, if
any, and the air was filled with such
pithy exchanges as these:
"If you should become president . . .
"Well, the question is a little hypoI am not an avowed canthetical.

didate."
"If you are not an avowed candidate,
what kind of a candidate are you?"
Symington said he'd have to say he
isn't a candidate at all. But you had the
feeling if you twisted his arm long
enough, he might shyly step forward.
Symington often talks alxiut how we
lag between Russia in missiles, and
some of the talk today was of the missile
thinks it's growing
gap. Symington
larger. As he talked, he pursed his lips,
like a man who not only weighs his
words but also savors them. This, it
turned out, was a delusion.

It is to Bridges that we aie indebted

subway trains are capable of hatting

seems faster since you're sitting in the

That nothing anywheie is like these
subway cars.
"They are really built like elevators,"
Bridges said, "so what we have lteiC
is an elevator going sideways."
The speeches finally ended, a few
senators climlnd on lnurd in front, a
few of es lucky reporteis got in the
rear, and we were off to applause.
A fine inaugural trip was had by all,
and it seems fair to venture tliis conclusion:
We may lag in missiles, but we're ce
