liberal arts college or for an
for teacher preparation, which
would still be within the arts and
sciences framework.
"I can already hear and see the
blood pressure rising at the suggestion of such a course of action,
but I would say to you that it
might be quite worthwhile for some
of our outstanding land grant institutions to develop such a pattern for experimental and observational purposes," Dr. Dickey said.
Dr. Dickey explained that in an
institute within the liberal arts
framework it would be possible to
bring together all of the teaching
and research forces needed for a
strong program of teacher education.
But Dr. Dickey, who will leave
the University's top post next July
1
to become executive director of
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, warned "the
success of such a pattern of organization would depend upon the
readiness of the persons in the
arts and sciences to assume their
rightful share of the responsibility
for the preparation of teachers."
President Dicke) said that more
and more t'ach'r-cducatio- n
programs are depending on research
and (hidings of the related
sciences.
'Why. therefore, wruld it not be
sensible to have the :ociolosist and
the education protestors working
directly together on the solution oi
problems dealing with teacher
preparation?" he asked.
Similarly, he said, ureater contributions can be made by psychologists, philosophers, and historians when working as a team
rather than as separate and sometimes antagonistic forces.
Liberal arts professors can learn
something from education profess- ors, ilhj, ir. iukcv saiu.
Realizing that his views might
not fall on friendly ears, Dr. Dick- ey told the group. "I shall admit
that I have changed my hotel res- ervations to another unnamed ho
tel and even have a reservation to
get out of town this evening if
things get too hot after what I
plan to say."

RAIN WEAR
Has taken a bl?
in design and sUla no
longer the drab, colorless thing it
use to be raincoats are now designed with fashionable flair using a wide variety of colors and
materials that are not only handsome, but functionable with zip
linings, they can double as topcoats and they can take a lot of
rough wear. Their popularity is
growing by leaps and bounds
rain hats have also been given the
face lifting treatment, and umbrellas besides being protective, are
considered quite swingy these daysf
So let it rain you will still look,

A lot of people are confused about
that. A trenchcoat is usually
double breasted with an all around
belt; a rain coat is single breasted
and has no belt. They are both
water repellent it's just a matter
of styling.

hose Street.' Rules of the road and
good driving demand that a motorist
stop when pedestrians are in a crosswalk. Why can't crossw alks be painted
at Clifton Avenue and in front of the
Fine Arts Building? These crosswalks
could be made even more effective, if
they were manned by uniformed, city
or campus, police during peak periods
of pedestrian traffic. A traffic policeman stationed at the Clifton Avenue
crossing would also assist motorists
attempting to enter Hose Street from
Clifton or the eastern vehicle entrance
to the campus.
Short interruptions of traffic flow
at these control points may cause
minor traffic jams and annoying delays for motorists using Hose Street,
but we feel that the added safety
for pedestrians would more than offset the annoyances suffered by the
motorist. Must we wait until someone is "clobbered"' in order to prove
our point?

he felt humiliated. He remembered
the Carnegie library in his home town
where he had grown up. He thought
of the fastidious old librarian who
had been there for years. She had
shown a group through the library
once and had remarked that the library had 10,000 volumes and only
five books were out, and she knew
exactly who had them."
Are you as a college student, really
and sincerely, taking advantage of the
"privilege" of a higher education? By
the way can you name the authors
and publishers of the text books you're
using this semester? You say, "yhat's
eating you man?" Nothing man! But
if your education is important to you,
then the hooks you read likewise
should be important to you. "You are
what you read."

In a time of personal tragedy, I
returned to the University of Kentucky as an instructor. After years of
happy home life with my family, I
emerged as a sort of Hip Van Winkle,
but as if I were seeing people clearly
for the first time.
Long ago I entered the University
as a student, imbued with Buskin's
"Sesame and Lilies" and Emerson's
"Representative Men." Time has revealed that all is not sweetness and
light.
When I beheld the briefcase with
the professor, I was sure all answers
must be contained in that awesome
serviette.
It has been said that, whether by
language or spirit, professors communicate well among themselves but
past themselves.
The students that I knew at the
University of Kentucky communicated
past themselves. They gave mc kindness, consideration, and encouragement. I felt a warm rapport.
If I were a professor at the University, not only would I want to
know well the subject at hand, but I
should hope for confidence in intuition of what is beautiful and powerful
and never be afraid of my style in

communicating the culture I represented, whatever my personal peculiarities. I should want the courage to
communicate the intrinsic excitement
of my subject. The students deserve
all the verve that can be mustered.
With no compulsion, the students
were aware of my worst and my best.
To my best they responded heartily.
The students I knew at the University of Kentucky have perpetuated
my faith in the existence of human
goodness.

To The Editor:
Concerning the letter in the Nov.
13 issue of the Kernel from Mr. Henry
T. Davis, I suggest that before he
begins his career of criticism he
might consult a dictionary under the
terms "irony" and "satire." He then
might realize the obvious maybe the
adjectives were placed that way for a

The College Population Explosion

College Press Service
WASHINGTON
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is taking a hard look at one of
the toughest problems facing higher
education today too many students.
The problem has gone beyond the
t
state schools; even
large
the smaller private colleges are beginning to feel the population squeeze.
The department is finding the
problem very difficult because of the
combination of political and educational issues it raises.
Several solutions to this problem
have one thing in common, they do
not work. At least, not very well.
someOne answer is
times abstract and always debatable.
Federal aid to higher education-mo- re
money for buildings, and for
teachers to meet the massive wave of
fall freshmen. Congress, of course,
has shown they are not quite ready
for this by their rejection of education legislation in the last session.
Another solution, according to government officials, is being used on an
increasing scale, even though it is
"temporary and full of pitfalls."
It is, simply, to restrict the number of admissions take only the best
qualified students. The biggest pitfalls stem from the meaning of "restrict" and "best qualified."
More than a dozen large state universities are bound by law or tradi- -

state high schools, "regardless of intellectual capacity." How does the
state university president get around
this?
Apparently, he can not drop a
brick wall in the path of a
but inadequate student. Such
undemocratic action would soon bring
a member of the state legislature to
his feet, bemoaning the injustice done
to a constituent's son.
For the president of the private
college, unhampered by law and tradition, it is merely a matterof grading
and assorting, until the. best students
are admitted. The problem, then, is
grading and assorting applicants.
Officials of the Education Section
of the Health, Education and Welfare
Department are watching the ensuing
clashes with interest.
Since the large state university
must admit high school diploma-holderthey're discovering new ways of
ridding themselves of students who
are lowering academic standards and
crowding classrooms.
One major East Coast state institution is axing undesirables with es
pecially designed freshman courses almost guaranteed to flunk the required
percentage. The students are given a
chance to repeat failed subjects twice
but on the third attempt and failure,
they are out.
One Southern university has instituted summer courses forJow-ranking,

achieve certain grade levels or they
are refused entrance in the fall.
Counseling and guidance officers during the summer convince the students
that they are either college material
or they are not. This often permits
withdrawals of students who can save
face and leave an inferiority complex

for a job.
California's master plan is being
eyed by government and other state
officials. Top high school students are
admitted to th university; the next
r
rank to several
colleges, and
r
junior colleges are left open
to the determined, but less talented.
HEW officials report that the
junior college may well be the salvation of the large state university striving for higher academic standards.
"Flunking someone out of school
deliberately hurts the university and
the person,' said one source. "The
junior college provides the
school education and there is always the chance of going on after
two years."
The Educational Testing Service
and the College Entrance Examination
Board may provide another solution
for limiting admissions.
However, loth systems were
jected to a broadside by Prof. Banesh
Hoffman, a physicist, mathematician
and a
opponent of the mulchoice test. HEW is giving intiple
terested attention to Hoffman's ideas.

of Testing," Hoffman, of New York's
Queens College, reports that one million freshmen each year are being

treated unfairly by the battery of entrance exams.
Hoffman's main argument against
multiple-choic- e
exams is: 1) they
block thought and originality, 2)
bright students are penalized while
the speedy guesser is favored, and,
3) guesswork isn't education. It's an
