The crowd of more than 1,600 that filled the
Imilding represented the largest turnout for a
Blazer lecture. Many were turned away, and about
500 persons listened over a loudspeaker set up in
McVey Hall.
Such a gathering of whites and Negroes could
not have taken place on campus 20 or even 10 years
ago. Thursday night's meeting was so interesting

and accepted by all that few even realized the
significance of the event. It was defintely a historical mark of the University's progress towards
real Christian democracy and true Americanism.
Dr. Bunche first distinguished himself in international affairs in 194S as head of the United Nations mediation lxard in Palestine during the
Arab
conflict when he effected a truce between
the two waring factions. In 1947 he won the Nobel
Peace Award for his work in Palestine with the
Israeli and Arab forces, which he headed when
Count Bernadotte was slain.
The University and central Kentuckians should
be proud to have heard such a speaker and man as
Dr. Bunche, and they should be prouder that he
was received and accepted the way he was.
If we are going to get along and survive in this
world, it will take more than just talking about
democracy. We have to live it. We can't sit on
the sideline and expect someone else to carry out
the full meaning of democracy.
The large and unsegregated audience at Dr.
Bundle's lecture, and the manner in which the
mixed assemblage was accepted is a good example
of what true democracy should be.

College Students Disapprove

Dorm Drinking, Late Dating

stereotype suggests, as indicated from the results
of a recent Associated Collegiat Press poll of student opinion.
The vast majority of students are against drinking in dormitories and staying out too late with
their dates. Women are more "strict" alxnit these
matters than men.
Students were asked their opinion on dormitory
drinking rules. Here are the results: should lx? allowed 16 per cent; should not ha allowed 75 per
cent; no opinion 6 per cent; other 3 per cent.
Only 12 per cent of the women are for dormitory
drinking; 82 per cent are against it. "I don't
in drinking, period," exclaims a sophomore
from Geneva College, Pa.
A freshman in engineering at Southeastern Missouri State College thinks dormitory drinking
should be allowed, lxtause it "would keep them
out of trouble in taverns."
And a business student at Richmond Professional
Institute. V'a., declares, "The more restrictions that
are imposed, the more people will want to break
them. College students should lx: treated like
adults."
