Field Tactics

The Kentucky Long Rifles,
the Army ROTC Department's newly established ranger unit, completed their first
field program March 8.

The problem, which consisted
of a compass course and an attack on a fortified river crossing, was set up to simulate a
combat situation in an area occupied by unfriendly troops.
Location of the problem area
was Boone Creek near the Kentucky River.
The twenty rangers who made
the trip were divided into three
patrols. Each patrol was given a
compass course and was required
to make a junction with the other
patrols near a river crossing.
Following the junction the combined unit planned and executed
an attack on the river crossing.
Despite an afternoon of heavy
rains, the Long Rifles successfully
completed all phases of the problem.
Cadets who made the trip include Captain Lester and Sergeants Hendricks and Hastcoat.
The cadets served the double
purpose of problem control and

Social Sidelights
By NANCY LOl'GIIRIDGE

After a week back at the old grind you're probably ready
to bit the road back to Florida or at least
just get away. No
doubt the combination of your mid-tergrades and all the
papers and reports that have been assigned this week has
caused a state of depression which can only be relieved
by TG1F.

o

I mny be wrong but it seems there are fewer bright shiny red
laces sniling aiound the campus this year. Looks like Florida didn't
have a chance at as many UKers as usual.
Of course, the ones that did go and went overboard the first few
days have a look that is something closely related to Jungle rot.
By the time this disease ends there is nothing left to show for the
money and time devoted to the sun god.
Well, enough of the gay happenings of a
Spring break. It's off to the party season. There aren't great numbers
of social affairs this weekend since all the frats are saving for the
formal season which will officially open next weekend. From then
on out it will be a mad race to get all the social functions in before
the semester ends.
After a rousing afternoon at your favorite haunt, well most
people feel pretty tired this week, you can spend a quiet evening
contemplating what the Easter Bunny has in store for you. If you
don't go for this idea and you are a Phi Delt there will be a quiet
little gathering at the house, so plan on stopping by.
The big news for today is the great experiment In peaceful relations being conducted by the north and the south in the form of a
Joint Jam session at Joyland, the sponsors are KA and Delt. Sargent
Shriver and some of His followers will be there in tiopes of keeping
down the animosity between the natives and the Yankees. Seems
the UN forces are a little busy elsewhere this weekend.
That takes care of Friday, short day what?
Well, it'a Saturday, my how time flys. If you are
sorority girl
your lot has already been cast. The day will be devoted to decorating
for tonight. The KD'i are having their annual
and getting
White Rose formal at the formal Tates Creek Country Club. The
Monarchs will be around to help out with the dancing.
lt
If you feel In a holiday mood and know a
then you'll
probably be escorting her to that affair. The Holiday Inn Fiesta
Room will be the scene of the dance and with all those happy time
names It should be a success. The Night Crawlers will be making
the music.
On the fraternity scene there are a few brave souls. The AGR's
will be having a shoot 'em up in the grand style of the Ole West
with a Cowboy and Indian party at the house. It's supposed to be
better than a Hopalong Cassity movie.
On the less imaginative side but Just as much fun will be a dance
party at the KA house,' provided they survive the Experiment in
International Living tonight.
a quiet little affair at the house.
. The ZBT's will also be having
For those of you lucky enough to be recent Florida returnees
there will be an excellent opportunity to show off your tan at the
Fiji Florida party. The Fiji Hut will be the place and all the Florida
enthusiasts will be there in bermudas and other beach attire.
Well that ends the' party scene for the weekend but there will
be an open house at Blazer Hall Sunday so drop by and say hello.
This should wrap up the Easter column but do hope the Bunny
brings you a big basket of grades and fun. I know it's short, but It's
a do nothing weekend.

* 'Ability' Is Key Word
In Athletic Participation

Kentucky's third football season
under Coach Charlie Bradshavv
opened Wednesday afternoon with a
220 pound
surprise player, a
transfer from Detroit. The player is
Steve Matthews and he is a Negro.
The University of Kentucky Athletics Association announced
last
spring that all University athletic
teams are open to all students and
that Negroes would be recruited at
the earliest possible time, taking into
account the obligations to the Southeastern Conference. Until Wednesday,
the SEC teams were segregated, at
least regarding athletes seeking an
opportunity to play.
The Athletics Association has made
inquiries regarding the treatment of
Negro athletes on southern trips and
has been trying to recruit athletes,
regardless of color.
But we must realize that there are
still pockets of hatred in this country
and the University has been forced
to proceed cautiously. Now, our first
Negro football player is here. Matthews is exercising his student prerogative to go out for the
athletic teams.
The football staff has shown that
it intends to live up to the UKAA's
integrated athletics policy by not
chasing Matthews away. He is being
given a chance to make the team. The
Kernel hopes and believes that Matthews will be judged by the UK staff

d
as a
fullback, not as our
first Negro player.
Kentucky is trying to catch up
with today's world where men are
judged on ability, not color. Whether
the rest of the SEC chooses to go
along remains to be seen.
The University is about to embark on a "Pathway to the Stars,"
and is emphasizing leadership. Steve
Matthews took a large step forward
Wednesday for equal rights in the
SEC. The University is pledged to
this same proposition.
The first step has been taken for
the University. This University, and
the South, will be judged by how
well the next step is taken.
We are confident that Matthews
will be given a fair chance to make
the team. However, if he does not
make the team, at least one thing
has been accomplished. The pathway
has been opened for other Negro
athletes to try out for the football
team. And in the future, there will
be more.
The rest of the conference must
accept Matthews' right to play. Otherwise UK should get out of the
conference. The Kernel would not
like to see UK leave the SEC, which
our athletic teams have helped to
build to one of the nation's best. But,
the rights of students enrolled in the
University to participate in all its activities must come first.

During college days, parents reap
the consequences of past relationships
with their children. If there was good
and
communication, understanding,
respect beforehand, college won't cut
it off. If there's room for improvement
in this respect, college may help.
There is a parable in the New
Testament of a man with two sons,
and to me the important part was
that the son who left home knew he
had a home to return to, filled with
love and understanding.
For a home to be this to students,
it takes much on the part of parents
and my prayers is that parents create
this type of situation and the boy
or girl lucky enough to have it,
knows it!

Communist Student Meeting Fails To Answer
Major Questions Confronting Today's Youth

(IIYA-CPS- )
Preliminary appraisals of the International Conference
of Youth and Students for Disarmament, Peace and National Independence that met in Florence, Italy from
Feb. 26 to March 1 indicate that this
latest Communist-sponsore- d
youih
meeting achieved its objectives only
ly begging the major questions facing world youth in general and Communist youth in particular. The Conference, held in the famed renaissance Palazzo Vecchio, was attended,
according to official reports, by 523
delegates representing 123 youth and
student organizations from 63 countries.
The ostensible purpose of the
meeting was clear from its title. But
not only were many questions left
unanswered by the Communist youth
leaders, very few searching questions
of any sort were even asked. Can a
policy of "peaceful coexistence" be
effectively pursued in those countries
where oppression exists, or where a
revolutionary climate prevails? Can
full "national independence" be attained or maintained, without armed
support for local guerrilla movements?
These are very real questions to
the youth of many countries who either follow or fear the militant Chinese
approach. But they are an embarrassment to the men who formulate
current Soviet foreign polity. By evading or suppressing these questions
the Conference organizers managed
to obtain a semblance of harmony
and unity. The expected debate with
facg
the leaders of the
tions in various national Communist
youth groups never took place. But
it is not a debate that can be indefinitely postponed.

The presence of Sergei Pavlov,
first secretary of the Central Committee of Komsomol, as head of the Soviet delegation, was regarded as "unequivocal testimony" to the importance of the Conference in the eyes of
Soviet officials.
Originally, some apparent effort
had been made to present the ConferThis
ence as strictly
pretense was abandoned when, last
March, the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY), headquartered in Budapest, called on all its
affiliates to support the initiative of
the Florence youth group sponsoring
the Conference.
The Conference was first proposed
by WFDY in 1953; nothing further
was heard of it until 1963 when proposals for holding the Conference
in Florence in October of 1963 and
invitations to attend a Preparatory
meeting in May 1963 actually held
in June were issued by a group calling itself the "United Committee of
Florence Youth for Disarmament and
Peace."
These invitations were sent to
youth oragnizations all over the world,
but the only
international youth organization to participate in the first meeting of the International Preparatory Committee
(IPC) in November 1963 was the
Coordinating Secretariat of National
Unions of Students (COSEC), whose
representative withdrew when the nature of the Conference became clear.
The fact that Italy's representative
national union of students, UNURI,
did not participate was an important
factor in COSEC's decision.
Prior to the Conference there were
reports that the Soviet representatives

to the IPC meeting in November had
suggested that one of the aims of the
Conference might be the creation of
a new international youth organization, a World Youth Peace Federation. That such discussions had taken
place seemed confirmed by the speech
of a Japanese delegate which made a
point of stressing that "the Conference
did not have as its aim to create a
new international organization . .
There is no doubt that the Communist leadership is giving serious
thought to replacing or supplementing
WFDY and the IUS with a new organization, since the existing two have
begun to lose their usefulness as international "fronts," and the possibility of the formation of a new international youth organization by the Communist Chinese appears to be a growing threat.
Perhaps the most important result
of the Conference was the announcement of the decision to hold a Second
World Youth Forum in August or September 1964 in Moscow. During the
plenary session on Feb. 26 the Algerian delegate, Bennaceur Abdelmadjid,
proposed that a special Conference
be called to deal with problems of
national independence. The next day
the idea was transformed by Peter
Reshctov, Chairman of the Committee of Youth Organizations of the
USSR (CYO), into a call for a Second World Youth Forum to be held
this year. A letter outlining this plan
was drawn up, dated March 1 and
signed by 57 student and youth organizations participating in the Florence Conference. The letter called
for an International Preparatory Committee meeting in Moscow in April
or May to plan the forum.

Observers in Florence speculated

that the Moscow Forum had been
proposed in order to allay susp
