UK Researchers Study

Someday "Johnny Smoke"

and for those who are already

Tobacco and Health Research
Institute "is where the action
is." Nearly one million dollars
is being invested in research on
the cigarettes you could be smoking in the next two years.
The studies are being done
through a unique combination
of medical, chemical, and plant
science research on one campus.

Head resident Cary Corbett
and treasurer Cary Ludwick
echoed each other's sentiments
in declaring that Holmes will
strive to create a new "atmosphere" among its residents
as much as to remedy some of
the minor problems plaguing the
building.
Ludwick, a freshman from

vice president, John Reusing of
Cincinnati; and secretary, John
Fritschner of Louisville in the
Holmes
organization. Corbett
serves as adviser to the group.
Brotherhood Drive Started
Ludwick stressed that the government's biggest goal for the
coining year was to "install a
spirit" in the hall's occupants.
"Maybe it sounds corny," he
said, "but we'd like to see a sort
of brotherhood people working
together for the benefit of everybody."
Corbett emphasized the same
idea. "We're letting the students
run. the hall," he said. "It will
be up to them to get things
going and make the improvements that they want." He said
the dorm government's informal
meetings would be
open to anyone in the hall with
an idea or complaint.
Perhaps a big impetus behind
the spirit movement is the new
integration of men's and women's
dorms which began this year.
"We like it everybody does,"
Ludwick said with ' a laugh.
"With the girls next door,

looks and acts better. Nobody
dresses like a slob any more."

Building's Programs
To Be Solved

while the officers at
Holmes are concerned with involving the residents in the spirit
drive, they haven't neglected the
minor problems that have sprung
up in a month of operation.
The building's two elevators,
which alternate between complete efficiency and total breakdown, are scheduled for repairs
soon. Efforts to get telephones
installed on every floor will be
make soon, and there is talk of
putting soft drink and ice machines on every floor.
One irritating predicament
was solved today when change
for the washing machines in the
laundry room was make available
at the reception desk, ending a
chronic shortage of dimes among
the students at Holmes.
Activities Instigated
Ludwick also said that some
progress had been made toward
involving the rest of the Holmes
"community" inactivities. Boyd,
Jewell, and Patterson Halls are
adjacent to Holmes, and a new
courtyard between the four is
scheduled for completion sometime in the next two weeks.
Mixers, dances, and an
side jam session were mentioned
as possibilities for the semester's
activities. An indoor lecture series
for Holmes residents may also
be scheduled. "We have other
plans," Ludwick said, "but we'd
like to keep them under our hats
for now."
The four Holmes officers were
chosen from among 24 corridor
representatives after a series of
informal dinners during which
dormitory life and its problems
were discussed.
A meeting with representatives of Patterson, Boyd, and
Jewell Halls is tentatively scheduled for Thursday nigt.

Moon Sample Arrives
Under Cloak Of Secrecy
The first vial of moon dust
arrived here late Sunday under
a cloak of secrecy.
The cautious announcement
,was made yesterday after the
vial, containing less than half
an ounce of lunar soil, was safely
moved to a vault guarded by a
campus policemen.
Dr. Richard C. Birkebak of
the mechanical engineering department is responsible for this
vial. He is the only engineer
among the 140 principal investigators across the country who
will study the samples brought
back by the Apollo 11 astronauts.
Dr. Birkeback will place the
black moon dust in an ultrahigh vacuum to investigate its
ability to conduct heat and emit
light. Dr. Clifford J. .Cremers,
also of the mechanical engineering department, will assist Dr.
Birkebak in the experiments.
This study is expected to help

this.
In recent weeks, the commercial loan system has created intolerable inequities. A student's ability to secure an essential loan
depends increasingly on the accident of his residence and the fiscal
condition and social conscience of
local banks.
The legislation just approved
by the House to let banks charge

The remedy must be sought in
a coherent policy of the kind drawn
up by the Carnegie Commission
on the Future of Higher Education. Many of its recommendations
have been translated into legislative
proposals by Representative Ogden
Reid of New York. Unfortunately,
however, the voice of higher education in support of these plans
has been less effective than it ought
to be, largely because of continuing disagreements between spokesmen for public and private institutions. By now it should be evident
that the needs of prospective students transcend vested institutional
interests and that unless these needs
are met, all higher education will

A Dangerous Experiment

Kernel Forum: the readers write
Iileak Hand

.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
Please allow me to punch in the mouth
the author of the editorial "UK's Bleak
Band." It was 'all too obvious that
the writer was prejudiced before the band
stepped onto the field, not to mention
that his editoiial was chuck-ful- l
of untrue
facts. True, the UK
and
band did its best for the ABC cameras;
but if ABC had not been their I guarantee that every member of the band would
have still done his very best for the enjoyment of the crowd. And if the writer
would have cared to have taken notice,
the UK band played for the support of our
football team at every opportunity possible.-The
band cannot play whenever it

wants to or when the football crowd
urges it to play. If this were the case,
the results could be disastrous, for
the football team would not be able to
hear instructions, nor would the people
in the stands be able to hear.
I feel certain that if the writer of the
editorial had spent half as many hours
at the hard work that every member of
the band did to provide a good
show, he would never have written the
article which appeared in your newspaper.
The band in the past and present
years has improved tremendously. I would
hope that a commendation for a Job
well done rather than a criticism of bunk
would come from the Kernel.

'Equal Opportunity' Issued

The first interracially owned
and staffed magazine company
has been formed to produce
"Equal Opportunity," a new
magazine for minority college students seeking career opportunities after graduation.
John Miller III, who is white,
is the president of the Equal Opportunity Publications, Inc. publishers of "Equal Opportunity,"
and Alfred Duckett, who is black,'
is vice president and editorial
director.
"By being interracially owned
and staffed," said Miller and
Duckett in a joint statement,
"the magazine will be offering
the best possible mix of ideas
and reactions covering one of
today's most volatile
problems black man in
the predominantly white business
world."
The annual magazine, due
December 1969, has these major
socio-econom- ic

objectives:

The lead article in the first
issue is entitled "Mind Your Own
Black Business" by former baseball great Jackie Robinson, now a
successful
franchise businessman. The article answers the current minority cry for "a piece of
the action" in franchise operations.
To offer a directory of corporation profiles of companies
who are actively seeking minority
college students for executive
training positions.
Over 200,000 black college students will have access to "Equal
Opportunity" through more than
2,000 outlets including 1,000 college placement offices, bookstores, libraries and other meaningful outlets.
In hailing the significance

of the new magazine, Dr. Jerome
H. Holland, renowned President
of Hampton Institute, a predominantly black college, stated:
"I feel that the publication
"Equal Opportunity" will serve
a very important role in bringing
to the attention of black youth

gap which has always placed the

progressive stride toward creating a feeling of equality of opportunity on the parts of all people."

the secrets behind the healing
of body tissue, and how to control the healing process.
Under a $78,872 grant awarded by the John A. Hartford Foundation of New York, Dr. Weeks
will be the chief investigator
e
directing five
laboratory
personnel and others in a three-yesearch for the key to regulating "cell synthesis of collagen
and mucopolysaccharide."
If they find the key, their
discovery will have several applications. It will, for instance,
enable surgeons to repair a
severed flexor tendon in the hand
so the hand will regain much
greater flexibility than can now
be regained in such cases, Dr.

To Study Humans
Smoking advocates argue that

to human study. However researchers have not found too

UK Tobacco Research Institute
is initiating a program to study
human smoking behavior, trying
to relate this to disease.
Some of the research is slow

to drugs instead. "We may have

The UK Tobacco and Health
Research program began in 1964

and was granted institute status

by the Board of Trustees in June
1969. Under its new chief, Dr.
Robert Griffith, the program is
extending itself and becoming
more flexible. As Dr. Griffith
said, "We are trying to define
an ideal program here."
The saga of "Johnny Smoke"
will be approaching its climax
in the next few years. To help
speed up its arrival, smokers
could always pledge a hamster
to tobacco research instead of
sending a mouse to college this
year.
