UK Gets Four Spanish

Profs In UNC 'Raid'
By GUY MENDES
Kernel Staff Writer
Four Spanish professors

at
the University of North Carolina have resigned their posts
to come to the University next
fall.

The professors, members of
one of the nation's better Spanish
department, will be followed by
a number of graduate students
who will help institute a Ph.D.
program in Spanish at UK.
Paul Nagel, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said
the professors were sought by
UK in order to "build a fine
Spanish Department" here.
Leading the four to UK will
be Dr. John Keller, considered
one of the nation's leading
medieval-Spanis- h
scholars, who
will become head of the
School of Languages
and Letters. He will also be
an associate dean of Arts and
Sciences.
Coming with Keller are three
associate professors from UNC's
Spanish department William
McCrary,
Joseph Jones, and
Daniel Reedy. Jones' wife, Margaret, an assistant professor will
be offered a position but her
appointment awaits a Board of
Trustee decision on whether or
nt

Board Of Trustees
Will Meet Friday
The executive committee of
the Board of Trustees will meet
at 10 a.m. Friday in the Board
Room of the Administration
Building.

Items on the agenda include
community college system organization, a resolution on community college construction financing, approval of preliminary
development plan for Elizabeth-towCommunity College, and
presentation of the Philip D. and
Elsie O. Sang Award.
Recommendations of the Real
Estate Committee is also planned for discussion at the
n

not to waive the nepotism rule.
The loss of these four brought
the number of resignations in
the Romance Language department at UNC to eight in the
past two years.
"There has been great tension and administrative difficulty in this department for sometime," said one UNC professor,
even though one of the best
in the country, having been
ranked eighth by the American
Council on Education this past
summer. "The lossof Kelleralone
would be a tragedy," the pro-

fessor said.
Nagel said that the UK Spanish department is "just about

exhausted," and the University
has been "deeply concerned
about the need to strengthen

it."

The University is "extremely
fortunate" in being able to interest these scholars and bring
them here, Nagel added.
Although "faculty raiding" is
considered an academic fact of
life, four professors at one grab
from one department at one university is somewhat unusual.
Dean Nagel said he preferred
not to use the term "raiding"
when talking of luring faculty
away from other schools. "For
a long time universities have
tried to attract academic life
from other universities," he said,
"but if you want to call that
raiding, call it raiding."
The University is simply seeking to build itself up by strengthening its faculty, he said.
Universities must compete on
the money level to get its professors, but it is not as important
these days, said Nagel. Professors
also choose the academic surroundings that suit them, they
look for a good intellectual atmosphere, he said.
In a telephone interview with
Keller, he said "North Carolina
has reached a stage of development that is remarkable," but he
indicated that further advancement might be slow.

The language department at

rn v'.i

UNC was already firmly estat
lished when he arrived there, so
he did not have much to do
with its development, said Keller.
He said he is very interested
in building a department here
and he believes "there is more
progress to be made at UK."
Keller said UK is "moving
ahead," and that it has "made
more progress than other universities in recent years."
He said he plans to build
a "very fine" Spanish Department here, on "a level with the
one at North Carolina or any
university."
Keller has two UK degrees
and was bom in Lexington.

County Extension System
To Use More Specialists
By MARSHA REITER
Kernel Staff Writer

The University has revamped
its county extension system to
include area specialists rather
than local county agents.
This program, the first of its
kind in the nation, was developed
to meet the changing demands
of agriculture, a spokesman in
the College of Agriculture said.
Until July 1 each of Kentucky's 120 counties had a male
agriculture county agent and a
female home demonstration
agent. Occassionally there was
an assistant county agent who
aided the
groups.
However, the Cooperative Extension Council has developed
a new program to meet the demands science has placed on
agriculture. The state is now
divided into 16 areas, with about
eight counties in an area. This
allows 25 or 30 extension workers to serve each area, rather
than the previous two or three
agents per county.

urday's conference. It will be held at Carnahan
House and is sponsored by Links.

In the old system, the agents
were expected to know enough
about everything to be of some
help; an agent had to have a
generalized knowledge of agriculture or home economics.
But, as Dr. C. W. Schneider,
associate director of the extension
service, said, "We are passing
from the era of the generalist
to the era of the specialist."
Dr. W. A. Seay, Dean of the
College of Agriculture and Home
Economics and director of the
extension service, added that
"people have gravitated to larger
trading areas, instead of the small
rural communities of the past,"
indicating a wider need for
specialized help.

Thus the new program allows
workers to specialize in order to
give more aid to the council's

clientele. Instead of an agent
covering the broad sphere of agriculture or home economics, the
workers now cover one specialized field, such as sheep, tobacco, or clothing and design.
The Cooperative Extension
Council was set up in 1910 but
was not federally supported until
1914 with the passage of the
Smith-LevAct. This act states
that the purpose of the county
agent is to "aid in disseminating
to the people of the United States

The council also discussed

before they could organize to do

Small Crowds Greet LBJ
In New Zealand's Capital

WELLINGTON, New
President Johnson, picking up momentum on a
25,000 mile trip, today arrived
in New Zealand, alter visiting
Pago Pago, a South Seas beauty

area never before visited by a
U.S. chief executive.
The President was greeted
by small but enthusiastic c rowds
in this capital city of New Zealand. This stop represented an
expression of friendship for a
longtime U.S. ally and a return
visit to a country where Johnson
spent some time as a Navy officer during World War II.
A number of signs expressed
New Zealanders' feelings about
the President. Friendly signs
read, "Hip Hip Hooray for
L.B.J.," and some sang "For
He's a Jolly Good Fellow."
But one waving banner read,
"Bob Kennedy for President."
With wife Lady Bird at his

Then the Johnsons will be
off to Australia for three days
of visiting before Hying to Manila for his Oct. 5 conference
with leaders of six countries allied
with the United States in the
Vietnam war.
In his arrival speech at Ohakea, the President recalled his

celebrity came to Keene-lan- d
race track Saturday.
Jockey Bill Hartack, one of
the leading riders in the country, was on hand to ride Claiborne Farm's Thong in the
feature race of the afternoon, the
Alcibiades Stakes.
Hartack, who bears a deep
resentment for reporters, has become famous for the caustic remarks he frequently makes to
turf writers who attempt to interview him. The sports writers,
in turn, have come to foster a
deep hate for Hartack, and try
to avoid the unpleasant task of
talking to him as much as they
can.
He has a searing, piercing
glance that can slice through
anyone, and this was the one
aspect that the writer noticed
most of all when talking to him.
His gaze is direct, penetrating,
and unwavering. He gives the
impression that he's not afraid
of anyone. He was distantly polite, but not overly friendly. He
doesn't need good public relations, and he knows it.
He's cold. He's outspoken.
He doesn't give a darn about
what he says to anyone, and
more than once he's been raked
over the hot coals by the press
for a cutting remark he's made
about the almighty "establishment" in racing.
A

But despite the opinions of
the sports writers, the fans are
wild about him. That's because
he rides winners. The betting
public loves a jockey that they
know will be consistent in bringing in winning horses. It gives
them something to go on when
making their selections at the
mutuels windows.
They know that Hartack will
be going all out for them each
time he rides a horse, because
he has a fanatical desire to win.
He hates to lose, and because
he's terribly moody, he makes
the atmosphere an unpleasant
one for everyone, including himself, when hetloes not win. Therefore, if you bet on Hartack you
know you're bound to get one
heck of a run for your $2.

Saturday's Alcibiades Stakes,
in which Hartack rode Thong,
was no exception as an example
of his customary efforts to outride everything and everyone else
in the race. Although the
two-year-o- ld

filly was not picket! by
the experts to win, Hartack had
her second out of the starting
gate and second throughout the
entire race, and they were a
formidable threat to the leading
horse from the half-mil- e
pole
to the top of the homestretch.
For a short while it looked as
if she might take the lead and
hold it, but another filly named

"My nation isanxiousto work
with you in providing that help.''
The President in his usual
fashion broke away from the
official party to shake hands
with several hundred people behind the barbed wire fence at
the edge of the airport. A few
minutes later he left his car
and, with his hat tilted back on
his head and his overcoat Happing in the breeze, mov ed among
the crowd outside the airport
to "press the flesh."

If I Can Get To It"
Of Transportation

Campaign Trip
President Johnson departed the
United States Monday to begin a
23,000 mile Asian tour that
will include six nations. It is likely
no coincidence that the trip takes
place several weeks before a
national election in which the
are expected to gain
several governorships and at least
hold their own on Capitol Hill.
The central focus of the Johnson trip centers on a conference
in Manila, where the President
will be joined by Secretary of
State Dean Rusk, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and other
senior officials for a seven-natio- n
conference on the Vietnam war.
The purpose of this trip is supposed to be to review the military
and political situation in Vietnam,
and to compare policies toward
the war, as well as means of concluding it.
Actually, the meeting will probably serve no purpose but to provide a lot of ceremonial talk that
will appear good in print back
home. Of course, such a trip will
provide good will, but it should
not be billed as an event which
will lessen the agonies of the war
in Vietnam.
One item that particularly disturbs us is the fact President Johnson did not plan to visit the American troops while on his Asian
jaunt. It was just before Johnson
left America that the Saigon government announced it had asked
17-da- y,

ns

him to change his itinerary and
visit South Vietnam. Chief ofState
Nguyen Van Thieu said he would
extend an official invitation to
Johnson when he arrived in Manila.
As Thieu said, "You (President
Johnson) have 300,000 American
soldiers here. I'd think it was

Draft calls are also being lowered in the weeks just prior to
election, although they will rise
again the first of the year. This
seems to be just another attempt
to sway public opinion to the concept that things aren't as bad as
they might seem, and with this
Asian trip by Johnson, world
opinion will soon sway the North
Vietnamese to see things our way.

Letters To The Editor

Reader Rebuts Washburn's Socialism Talk
To

the Editor of the Kernel:
In his speech for Socialism, Brad

Washburn seemed to look at Capitalism as an utter absence of all
ideal aims, and at politics as a
scramble of personal ambition. Mr.
Washburn, suffering from conditions which he accepted as inevitable and recognized as hideous,
should have turned his idealism into
writing a "Utopia" where man is
relieved of human nature.
Mr. Washburn
claimed the
trouble with mankind not only
lies in Capitalism but in man's
nature itself. Socialism could
change this according to him.i
However, he rejects any attempt
to make distinctions between kinds
of behavior and their function in
his quest for a Socialistic society.
To function under Socialism,
people would be little more than
robots where life is no longer guided
by purposes and expectations.
