budget request for 1964-6would be large, Dr. John V.
Oswald said Thursday night
that UK "is on the verge of a
greater mission" than it has
previously undertaken.

Speaking to some 50 newsmen

at the

annual

dinner, the president said the
budget is the University's most
important document, because it
translates "needs into action by
way of dollars."
The budget will be presented
to the Board of Trustees when
that body meets Friday at 10 a.m.
The new budget, he said, will:
1. Reflect

the
percent
enrollment increase expected in
the next two years.
2. Provide for operating four
new community colleges at Somerset. Prestonsburg, Hopkinsville,
and Elizabethtown.
3. Place the faculty on an academic-year
pay schedule in

stead of a

4. Provide a new retirement

5. Attempt to keep the salaries
of the faculty in line with the

98 years, but now it is ready for

After the talk, Dr. Oswald said
there are no immediate plans to
raise the minimum
entrance
standards for admission to the
main campus. At the present time
only graduation from an accredited high school is needed for the
admission of state residents.
Having a community college
nearby is equivalent to giving a
student a $1,000 scholarship each
year, the president said. The student saves that much in room
and board costs by living at
home.
In discussing the salaries of

Stadium Seating Changed
For Tennessee Game
Three changes in student seating for the Tennessee game have
been announced by Student Congress president, Paul Chellgren.
The three changes are
1. Students
will be allowed to
go up any ramp to get to their
seats. This will alleviate the long
lines.
2. Tickets will be handed out
in different order. The first group
of tickets given out will be those
for seats in the first 35 rows
of Section C. Next will be the
tickets for the first 35 rows of
Section B. The third group of
tickets will be those for the rest
of Section C. The fourth group
will be the rest of Section B.
And the last group will be all of
Section A.
3. When any organized group

goes to the game they must enter
the same entrance. The first per-

in the group will tell the ticattendant how many are in
or her group. If the attendhas enough tickets to seat
the group together he will give
them out. If not, he will get
them. Hence, the whole group

"Not only is sex here to stay, but it is fast becoming

The balding minister refused to

"You don't want to here one

or this is wrong. You have to

"The facts of life from a

"Cold facts give you no foundation to work by, and don't answer

"Puritanism in reverse."
Dr. Clapp said he has observed
that the traditional double standard is becoming a transitional

According to the speaker, the

Last week we criticized tlie women
on the campus for the sloppy way
in which they appeared in public.
Some people have taken this to mean
that the men at the University are
'"perfect" in their attire. However, this
js definitely not the case.
Thanks are in order to the weatherman who has seen fit to make it
cool enough in Lexington so that men

might be all right for sitting around
in a dormitory room or apartment or
tinkering with the car. However, we
hardly think they are proper attire

residence hall. A woman would have
to be crazy to go somewhere with a
fellow who looked like this.
While these last two points may
seem insignificant, we feel that wearing socks and a daily appointment
with a razor would also help the appearance of the male population at
the University.
Surprisingly enough, a great many
of the men who dress this way are
nearing graduation. We wonder what
a perspective employer would say if
he saw any of these fellows in this
attire. It probably wouldn't be too
complimentary.
A few years ago, the majority of
the men on this campus wore jackets
and ties every day. While we do not
believe that this is necessary, we do
feel that slacks and a sports shirt
should be considered proper dress.
The current mode of dress is disgraceful to the campus.

anything worse than a boy walking

Jane Daucherty

(Editor's Note: Today's editorial
criticizes male dress habits at the University. We by no means feel that
the men on this campus dress like
"gentlemen.")

"The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterous. It is the
fundamental emotion which
stands at the cradle of true art
and true science.- He who knows
it not and can no longer wonder,
no longer feel amazement, is as
good as dead, a snuffed-ou- t
candle."
He wrote that neither as a scientist nor as a poet, but as both. He
wrote it as a
man, perceiving depth. That made him a better
man than rolypheum. The distinction
between scientific method and religious imagination is one of attitude.
Both attitudes can appear in the same
person and this is no less strange
than having two eyes.

'Hourglass' Describes Civil Rights

(Editor's Note: The following article was written by Robert E. Steb-tinassistant professor of history at
Eastern Kentucky State College. It appears in the Eastern Progress.)
Everyone knows about the hourglass figure. A discussion of the meaning of civil rights might be seen in the
"figure of the hourglass." Starting with
the board base of rights in general,
corresponding to one broad end of the
hourglass, the discussion might move
successively to the slightly narrower
idea of civil rights, then to the narrow middle section of the Civil Rights
legislation in 19th Century America.
From this narrow waist of the
liourglass the discussion could broaden
again to the question of civil rights
lor minority groups in the United
States in the last thirty years. The
figure of the hourglass would be completed by the broadest conception of
rights in general about which the
minority groups and others in this
country stem increasingly to be concerned.
We may start with the broad base
t;f rights in themselves. For if there
were not rights in general, there could
be no point in considering the idea of
civil rights. Presumably, if there were
only one human being in the universe
theje would be no question of "rights"
everything would be 'his' to do with
as he w ished.
The question of 'rights' comes up
there are external circumonly wla-stances or other persons which might
limit the absolute freedom of action
end possession of that one imaginary
s,

person. In a sense, then, rights' result
from limiting the degree to which one
person or group of people can limit
others.
A dictionary definition of rights
often includes a phrase indicating that
a right is "that to which one has a just
claim. That is, a right is something
that no person and no society can
legitimately or justly deny. Many discussions of rights have been based on
the acceptance or rejection of the idea
that "might makes right." Generally
modern democratic societies have
tended to say that it is something
other than might or power which
makes right. They argue that there is
some ideal or Ideal that makes 'rights'
good and valid even without might.
There can be little explanation and
proof of why there should be any
such rights; men are simply forced to
affirm them, and societies find that
they cannot prosper without them.
The Declaration of Independence
shows this very clearly: "We hold
these truths to be
that all
men are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights; that among these,
are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness."
The Declaration of Independence
wisely refused to say that such truths
and rights were
it only
said that those who united in making
the Declaration held them to be
t,

t;

The Declaration of Independence
went on to say that it was to protect
such rights "that governments are in

stituted among them." This is the
origin of civil rights in our country in
Laws declare certain things to be
the rights of men and attempt to set
up the conditions which will guarantee those rights. Civil rights, in other
words, are those rights which the
laws set up or recognize and attempt
to protect for a given group of people
as for a nation or part of a nation.
Since the general civil rights under
the Constitution and the laws of the
land had not been conceived as extending to the slaves, and since political and legal rights were not universally and automatically granted to
the former slaves, the Congress passed
laws in 1866, 1870, and 1875, known
as the Civil Rights Acts, attempting to
extend at least legal and political
rights to the Negroes.
From these specific Civil Rights
Acts, which may be considered the
narrowest part of the 'rights hourglass,' the conception of civil rights
has broadened to the attempt to include more and more rights for minorities under the protection of the law.
As was noted from the beginning,
civil rights were established at first
in order to assure that some natural
rights would be held inviolate for
some people.
In the last twenty or thirty years
there has been an increasing recognition that the laws in general did not
guarantee the same kinds of rights for
all people and especially not for some
minority groups. A concern for the expansion of civil rights began to grow.
This is generally the meaning applied

Sir

to 'civil rights' today. It represents
a considerable broadening of the concept of rights as declared in the Civil
Rights Acts, and a more expansive
interpretation of the guarantees added
by Constitutional amendments.
The final broadening of the rights
hourglass seems to be the growing
concern for rights as such for minority groups, and going even beyond the
sort of rights that can be minutely
prescribed by legal or civil means.
This broad end of the 'rights hourglass' is very much like the other
broad end of the hourglass in seeking rights (this time for the minority
groups specifically in addition to
rights for people in general ) as "something that no person and no society
can legitimately or justly deny."
It would seem that the discussion
of the 'rights hourglass ends in a
circle. It leads back to the question cf
rights in general. Conceptions of
rights and civil rights have been
changing in recent years.
The fact that the Declaration cf
Independence spoke of "all men" has
been interpreted in many different
ways. The interpretations given by
some have been causes for consternation by others. The interpretations
given by others have exceedingly displeased some.
The questions of rights and civil
rights have become among the most
hotly debated in our day, and those
who argue on each side are looking
increasingly at the hourglass of time
as well as the 'rights hourglass.'
