Singletary, Kirwan Speak
For 'Conversation9 Series
By GEORGE J EPSON
Managing Editor
Today's college or university
president ' lives in a state of
compromise," says UK President
Otis A. Singletary in a videotaped program to be telecast over
Kentucky Educational Television
stations next week.
The half-hoprogram, "Conversation," is an informal discussion between Singletary and
former UK President A. D. Kirwan. It will be telecast at 6:30
p.m. Oct. 15 and 8 p.m. Oct.
16, according to Shirley Boyd of
Media Services.
The format is the same used
in other "Conversation" programs which Paul Owens, also
of Media Services, says are prepared when visiting educators
or other noted individuals come
to the UK campus.
The Singletary-Kirwatape
was made in early September
so it could be shown as early as
n

possible in the scholastic year.
The Kernel was allowed to view
the film at Media Services prior
to its telecast.
The discussion between the
two educators is, of course, about
the role of the university president in contemporary times.
The program is prepared so as
to give the viewer the impression
he has entered in the middle of
a conversation which is already
in progress and continues after
he leaves.

The discussion touches on
such issues as the changing role
of the university president, the
president's status in relation to
the faculty, problems related to
the rapid growth of universities,
and similar topics.
Dr. Singletary also discusses
his decision to come to UK and
his early impressions of the University, its students, fatuity and

administrators.

its actors
For anyone who has ever
longed to meet a leprechaun or
fancied he heard a banshee wail,
"The Playboy of the Western
World," now playing at the Guignol Theatre, will provide three
hours of pure enjoyment.
"Playboy," whose Wednesday night opening marked the
42nd anniversary of Cuignol, is
an Irish comedy about the Irish

personality. Its author, J.M.
Synge, attempts to portray the
unique character traits the love
of fun, the passionate outbursts
of hate and love, the superstition and weakness for the bottle
which blend together to form
the peculiar stereotype of the
Irishman.
The plot of the play is slightly insane, but so are the unstable
natures of its characters, each of
which can plunge from perfect
joy to utter despondency in the
same lilting breath. The setting,
too, is nigged and stormy the

uproar resulting when "Playboy"

Dublin.).

Andro Kolc has spoken in 43 countries on

"UNMASKING THE UNKNOWN"
is the title Mr. Kole gives to this intriguing
presentation in which, among other things,
he will give a visible demonstration of the
Fourth Dimension, and reveal some amazing predictions of the future which could
affect tho life of every person in attendance.
This unusual presentation is sponsored
by Campus Crusade for Christ. Duo to his
interest in the supernatural, Mr. Kole will
include some observations he made from
his investigation of the miracles of Christ
from the point of view of an Illusionist.
This will no doubt be the most unusual

What must be made clear to

over the weekend. Croups that people had forgotten existed have
voiced support of the vigil which

rabbis endorsed the Moratorium
and its president condemned President Richard Nixon for his recent
statement that he would not be

in support of the Moratorium.
It must be reasoned that endorsement of the Moratorium is not
an endorsement of SDS. It is a hope
that Americans need not die in a

clear to those who have condemned
the Moratorium before they give it

By LAXNfl PARASURAM
October 2, 1969, marked the lapse of
a century since the birth of Mahatma

Candhi India's apostle of
who added a spiritual dimension to the
troubled political thinking of the modem
world. The admirers of Gandhi form all
over the world celebrate this day and join
hands to hope that the inspired vision
of their master may prevail.
Many are the stories we have heard,
numerous the newspaper reports current
during the days he lived, about this
mysterious figure of a half naked fakir
from India. Millions walked at his feet,
thousands from all over the world flocked
to see him, their initial curiosity quickly
changing to admiration as Britain's colonial empire cracked against the forces he
stirred up with his undaunted courage and
magnetic charm.
Gandhi's greatest merit lay in his
awareness of the rights of man, especially
those of the exploited, suffering millions
of India. He combined with this a courageous code of action based on values
free from violence, opportunism,
and political chicanery. It was indeed
too difficult a combination to woik in
practical life, but Candhi made it work
and therein lies his greatness.

As a young boy, Candhi absorbed all

the qualities of virtue and honesty
preached to him by his orthodox parents.
The came the test of these ideals against
the forces of reality the temptation to
indulge in forbidden pleasures, to eat
meat, to ape the Englishmen and even
to
his child-wifCandhi faced
these temptations with a rare awareness
and sense of conflict. His persistent search
for truth led him to read books of diverse
religions (the Gita, the Bible, the Koran)
and he forged from them his own extraordinary code of living which realized
itself through practical application.
Candhi's period of active political life
started in South Africa. As a young
newly trained in England,
Candhi was sent to South Africa to look
after the affairs of an Indian firm, and it
was there that he came face to face with
the plight of his "colored" Indian brethren who were being openly discriminated
against by the white residents ami rulers.
The "colored" Indians were legally fors
bidden from traveling in
trains,
on pavements, living in particuwalking
lar hotels and so many other "privileges."
Candhi boldly stood for the rights
of these poor victims, and the result was
ill-tre- at

that he had to undergo a series of humilia-

tions and tortures at the hands of callous
public officials as well as the mob. But
never once did Candhi break his code
of
resistance people who
manhandled him were left to wallow in
their own feelings of guilt and shame;
Candhi refused to retaliate against them.
When his center of activity later shifted
to India where millions silently bore the
cross of political and social evils and injustices, Candhi clung to his principles
of action under strong pressures to the
contrary. He stirred the hearts of the
masses by the sheer intensity of his
genuine concern for their welfare and
when they rose up from their inertia like
a rising tide he sought to discipline
them with an avowal sense of commitMan may stand
ment to
up against the evil and fight for his right,
but he shall not strike even at an enemy
and perpetrate more evil in the world.
To Candhi, means and ends were convertible terms one shall not justify the means
in terms of the ends he professed to seek.
It is indeed hard to explain how
Candhi won the battle against his almost impossible ideals. Long and arduous
