purpose is "to get rid of dark
spots In the botanical gardens,
around the library, and on the
access walks and streets In the
center of the campus."
Campus chief engineer E. B.
Farris said the botanical gardens
and library area needed lighting
because coeds needed to use the
gardens as an access path from
their domitorles to the library.
Every year the Dean of Women
warns women not to use this
route to the library because it Is
daik and inaccessible should a
coed be assaulted, as has happened In the past.
Fear of formerly dark paths
will be eliminated with the new
lighting. Farris said the lights

would

"overlap each other."
"The light will extend 30 feet
into the background." Anderson
said, "but mast of the light will
be directed to the walks In the
gardens."
The lights will stretch from
Euclid Avenue across the center
part of the campus, Including
Graham Avenue. One hundred
post-to- p
lamps will be placed
along University walks and 40
lamps with extended arms will
illuminate the streets. The walk

The engineer said the campus
will be lighted "better than most

Power Loss
Air conditioners, refrigerators
and various other electrical motors failed to work when a seven-hocampuswide power failure
occurred last Saturday.
The condition was due to heavy
rains from the previous night's
storm which flooded a sump pump
near the new Student Center
and knocked out all electrical
power, according to Clyde Lilly,
administrative
assistant in the
Maintenance and Operations Department.
Power was off from shortly
after 6 a.m. until 1:20 p.m.
"Our biggest problem was with
the lack of refrigeration on campus during the power failure,"
Lilly said. "Refrigeration was off
at the cafeteria in the Student
Center and in various experimental laboratories around the
campus."
After the source of the power
failure was located, the service
and an electrical
department
contractor made the necessary
repairs.
When asked about damage
which occurred during the power
failure, Lilly said, "The only
damage that I know of personally
was of a motor which burned out
in a fifth floor experimental laboratory in the Funkhouser biological sciences building."

Lack Of Students
Cancels Field Trip

Because of a sharp drop in
the number of geology majors at
the annual summer field
camp was not held this year.
For the past 15 years, a group
0
students has
of
geology
spent approximately eight weeks
in the summer camp near Crested
Butte, Gunnison County, Colorado.
The camp, for which students
receive seven credit hours, requires that each student prepare
a geological report based on the
area they study. The course is
designed primarily for geology
majors at the end of their Junior
year, but occasionally a non-majwith elementary geology is
taken along.
Professor McFarlan, who, along
with Prof. Erwin Lyons, usually
accompanies the group to Colorado, explained that they visit
the particular site because it
affords students a gTeat variety
of geological phenomena.
Each student on the trip pays
a transportation fee of $50, food
and camp expenses, $85, and the
regular summer school tuition
fee. The University furnishes
tents and camping facilities, in
UK,

cluding a cook, and pays faculty
expenses.
A camp is being planned for
next year.
The decline in geology majors
was brought on by an
and price decrease of imported oil four or five years ago
which caused American oil industries to tighten their budgets,
stop hiring geology graduates,
and even drop many of their
employed geologists.
Dr. Arthur C. McFarlan noted
that the oil companies are now
having difficulty getting the men
they want. "The number of majors is on the increase, he reported, "but it will take a few
years to grow back."

* Caudill's 'Night' Rips The Lid

Ane

I

From Kentucky's Troubled Hills
By DAN OMLOR,

Kernel Ccwditor

And thus begins the battle for the
Big Country.
More commonly known as the
Cumberland Plateau of eastern Kentucky, this region has been exploited
and stripped and wasted for one full
century by the great magnates of
coal, timber and railroads, none of
whom bothered to do anything vaguely resembling reforestation or reconstruction of the land they lay waste.
It has become more and more
apparent in recent years that what the
area needed was a leader, and that
when it got one, there was going to
be one tremendous commotion raised
that would eventually echo from coast
to coast.
And now there is a leader. He is,
quite appropriately, a native of Letcher County. His ancestors built the
first house in that county. His relatives have, through the years, fought
indians, lost arms and legs in coal
mines and land to timber companies.
His name is Harry Caudill, a name
which itself is deeply engrained in
the mountains.
And the commotion he will raise
has just begun. His first step, a book
called "Night Comes to the Cumber-lands,- "
was released to the public
last week and has already called down
wrath and praise of Congressmen
from Frankfort to Washington.
It will call down more than that
before he is finished.
For this is to the Kentucky highlands what "Mind of the South" was
to Dixie. Caudill presents the history
of the area from the first settler. He
presents the sociological and economic
factors which have affected it from
the beginning to the present day.
He presents the modern situation.
And he suggests the future.
The result is not a pretty picture.
Now, Caudill takes no sides in his
presentation, but by taking no sides
he, in effect, takes the side of the
common mountaineer, because by not
covering up for the Coal Barons and
Timber Magnates he exposes their
practices to the nations. He also analyzes the faults and virtues of the
common folk, but this will probably
not create any great dissensions. A
man who drinks heavily and uses poor
farming methods may be a bit degenerate, but his influence on the
world is usually limited.
A man who affects several thousand people economically and sociologically tends, however, to bear

Published once weekly during the regular lummer session except during holidays and exams.

more responsibility. The men who
have made their money in eastern
Kentucky, says Caudill, have not fulfilled this responsibility.
More important, he explains just
precisely how they have not fulfilled
this responsibility.
He exposes the intricate processes
by which coal, local politicians, timber, state and national politicians have
worked together, paying one another
off when necessary.
He explains in infinite detail how
the mountaineer who chose through
his own desire to improve his lot, was
started and continued on a century-lon- g
spiral that lead downward at an
ever increasing rate.
Caudill does this well. But it is
only the beginning. He examines the
education system, the feuds, the
moonshine trade, and the other problems which are prominent in eastern Kentucky, and he explains how in
every case they have been manipulated for the good of the few, a few who
did not even live in the region. And
the photographs he includes do an
excellent, if somewhat nauseating,
job of completing the proof he offers.
Finally, for good measure, Caudill
outlines his own suggestions for saving what might be left while there is
still time. His plans show that he has
put a great deal of thought into this
book. It spans the fields of politics,
history, geography, economics, education, and culture, and it handles all
of them well.
There is only one great flaw to
the entire work, the passage where
Caudill agrees with the need for a
few leaders who could get mad and
do something about their anger.
Because it becomes evident that
Caudill himself is one of the leaders
that have so long been awaited. He
will from here on out be a not very
popular man. He and his book have
already been hailed and damned from
Whitesburg to Frankfort to Washington and back, and this is only the
first week of its life span.
But Caudill is the beginning, perhaps a long awaited beginning, but
still a beginning, and it is quite possible that he has triggered the reaction which will eventually bring to the
Big Country of eastern Kentucky the
destiny which it has long awaited,
long deserved, and has long been fully
capable of realizing.

Interdisciplinary Fields For A Growing UK?

By ANN POUNDSTONE
Kernel Staff Writer
(Sixth In a series)
"The current worldwide Interest in technologically underdeveloped areas and the
growth of the community development movement have created a particular demand for
an organized program of interdisciplinary
social science research."
This statement was made by Dr. A. Lee
Coleman in a proposal for such a center last
October. At that time Dr. Coleman, head
of sociology and rural
of the departments
sociology at UK, submitted the proposal for
University staff discussions.
"There is an urgent need and excellent
opportunity for some university to provide
facilities and a program for applying and
adapting the theories of the social sciences
to planned change In some unified and systematic program of research, teaching and
observed application," according to a statement of purpose written by Dr. Coleman.
Dr. Coleman hopes that UK is that university. Although the University failed to
include the center In the 1863 budget, Dr.
Coleman Is optimistic.
"The center might not have to wait another year for approval," he said. "It may
be approved and formally instituted before
that time, but probably will have to wait
at least a year before full implementation."
The University's interim president, Dr.
A. D. Albright, recently has asked Dr. Coleman to prepare a revised prospectus.
The tentative plan for the center provides for a director and two to four associates as the core staff, and a board of governors and directors or an advisory board.
Government and private research contracts and foundation grants are envisioned
as financing idividual projects, while the
University would support the core staff.
"There is no shortage of money for research," Dr. Coleman said. "The need Is for
a structure to plan, coordinate, and facilitate the submission and administration of
projects."
No decision has been made about where
the center would be housed. Dr. Coleman
said, "While no special building was proposed for the center, it is probable that a
building or a section of another building
will be needed when the center gets underway."
Dr. Colem in's proposal for a center came
after visits to other campuses with similar
centers and talks with professors here and
at other universities.
During the summer and fall of 1962
an
group of UK professors met to discuss the possibility of such
a center. Several prominent social scientists from other universities who have had
experience with interdisciplinary research or
training programs were used as consultants.
Dr. Coleman said Eastern Kentucky

might serve as a "laboratory" where there
would be opportunity for training and research.
He said Eastern Kentucky mort nearly
approximates conditions in underdeveloped
overseas areas than perhaps any other part
of the United States, and in this sense could
serve as a laboratory. The region la characterized by emigration, little agriculture,
depressed mining, isolation, and little experience on the part of the people in group
projects.
University of Kentucky social scientists
are using the area as a laboratory or study
area now. For example, there is Dr. Thomas
R. Ford's recently published University of
Kentucky Press- - book, "The Southern Appalachian Region." This book Indicated that
the region "needs work both from a research
standpoint and from a practical one," Dr.
Coleman said.
"There have been a few efforts In the
past to set up 6ome kind of interdisciplinary
social science research institute at the University of Kentucky, but they haven't panned
out," Dr. Coleman said.
"For the past two years we in the sociology and rural sociology departments have
been looking for some special focus for our
work and we have concluded that the concept of social change embraces most of
our current research," he said.
The center would train personnel to meet
a national demand.
"The recent creation of a Social Science
Division in the National Science Foundation
attests to a need 'for the training of such
personnel," Dr. Coleman wrote, "as does
also the present heavy demand from action
agencies for social science personnel and for
special social science training of their personnel."
Dr. Coleman said the center would encourage research within the several social
science departments by helping to get funds.
Dr. Coleman noted that "a number of
agencies are turning to the University with
social science research problems and with
requests for special training programs."
The Department of Sociology's Bureau
of Community Service has been providing
special community development training and
observation for . a limited number of personnel from other countries for the UJ3.
Agency for International Development (AID).
Other bureaus and units of the University have also been providing special kinds
of training for state and federal government agencies and other agencies.
"There is reason to believe that if we
were better organized to receive and solicit
such requests many more would be forth-comnl- g,
and we would do a better Job with
those we get," Dr. Coleman said.
"There would be no direct way that the
center would be coordinated with the United
Nations," Dr. Coleman said, "because the

U.N. is an international agency and It doesn't
seem probable that the U.N. would ask the
University to undertake a project for them."
He contrasted the U.N. with the Peace
Corps, "which is a U.S. government agency,
and it has been contracting with universities
to provide training for corpsmen."
Dr. Coleman said he anticipates that the
return of Peace Corps workers will bring
"a demand from many of them for advanced
training in social sciences."
The center's activities will extend beyond the social science field.
"Although the focus of this interest Is
in social science, there is considerable overlap into engineering, medicine and other professional and technical fields," Dr. Coleman
said.
"It is hoped that the center will meet
some of the special needs of personnel In
these fields by providing interdisciplinary
teamwork in research and training," he said.
Working with Dr. Coleman in the discussion and development of a plan for a
center have been a number of other University staff members Including Dr. Malcolm
E. Jewell, acting head of the department of
political science; Dr. James W. Martin, director of the Bureau of Business Research;
Dr. Frank J. Essene, head of the anthroDr. Joseph R. Schwen-dema- n,
pology department;
head of the geography department;
Dr. W. Paul Street, Bureau of School Service; Dr. Aubrey J. Brown, head of the department of agricultural economics; Harold
E. Wetzel, head of the department of social
work; Dr. James F. Hopkins, professor of
history; Charles P. Graves, head of the department of architecture; Dr. Amry
director of the Patterson School
of Diplomacy and International Commerce;
and Arts and Sciences Dean M. M. White.
Also included are sociology and rural
sociology department members Dr. Thomas
R. Ford, Dr. James S. Brown, Dr. Joseph
J. Mangalam, Dr. Frank A. Santopolo, and
Dr. Willis A. Sutton Jr.

This Informal committee, which has been
developing the planning for the center, has
created a subcommittee which is planning
a Faculty Seminar on Developmental Change,
to meet weekly during 1963-6Several prominent social scientists who have worked In
development programs or studied the process

speakers.

CAMPUS POLICE HOLD
By ANN POUNDSTONE
Kernel Staff Writer
Two campus policemen emerged from the Chemistry-Physic- s
building "escorting" a man who
appeared to be resisting arrest.
The officers led the man into a
squad car and drove hurriedly
away.
there's a
I licked my lips
Juicy story, I said to myself early
in the summer session when I
witnessed the event. I imagined
the man to be a drunk who accidentally got locked up in the
building overnight.
Quite the contrary. According
to campus police chief, Captain
James W. Glass, the man was a
student who had an epileptic
attack. Officers had to use force
to help him out of the building,
and Into the awaiting squad car,
which sped him to the hospital.
Fast action was the Job of the

campus police in this case. Another time they might have
radioed for an ambulance, rescue
squad, or fire truck.
One of the most serious problems of the police is maintaining
access to doors, fire hydrants,
and entrance ways in case of
emergencies. "We could lose a
building or a life," said Clyde
Lilly, administrative assistant to
campus engineer, E. F. F arris.
"Parking on yellow lines may
limit access to entrances and
prevent ambulances or fire trucks
from swinging around corners,"
he said.
Lilly said the police issue citation tickets with a $5 penalty,
but that this is not the real answer to the problem. "The public must be educated as to why
the yellow lines are there," he
said.
Lilly listed failure to use cross- -

problem.
Coeds crossing in front of
Jewell Hall "have a false sense
of security that will get them
killed." Lilly said. "They think
that when they get to the traffic
island they're safe."
Lilly said this secure feeling
"goes back to Robinson Crusoe"
and the dream of an island paradise.
He said several girls had been
knocked down by cars but not
injured fatally. "We're going to
have a fatality one of these
days," Lilly predicted.
Lilly and Captain Glasa suggested putting a fence in front
of Jewell Hall to force the students to use the corner crosswalks.
"The campus will begin to
look like a prison," Lilly said,
"but if it could save a girl's life,
it'd be worth it."
Lilly called attention to the
Washington Avenue crossing at
Rose Street.

"Someday
should watch the number of
people who make two crossings
instead of one to get to the same
side of the street," he said. "Some
even make a diagonal crossing
across four lanes of traffic."
Vandalism and the use of

FULL-TIM- E
building keys are related, Lilly
said. "If authorized personnel
would lock the door behind them,
fewer people could enter the
buildings," the administrative assistant said.
Police Chief Glass said that
stolen goods are often only misplaced items. "All but one Med-ica- n
Center microscope has not
been accounted for," Glass said.
"The items usually reported missing include microscopes, projectors, tape recorders, and typewriters, which usually turn up in
somebody else's closet."
Chief engineer E. F. Farris
said the vandalism problem is
not as great now as it was 20
years ago. He attributed this to
a larger and more efficient police
force.

brand of prerequisites and objectives," said the program chairman, Dr. Stanley J. Zyzniewski.
Dr. Zyzniewski, an assistant
professor of history, said the establishment of such a program is
a sign that the University is trying to keep In step with recent
needs In curriculum expansion.
The University's response to
new curriculum suggestions is
part of the "forward look indicative of what the college (Arts and
Sciences) as a whole has done to
with postbring itself

emphasis on
specific areas," Dr. Zyzniewski
said.
The Russian Area Studies program isn't really new. "It formalizes a program that previously
existed on an informal basis," the
head of the program said.
No additions to the University
faculty are planned for the first
year. The staff will consist of
Dr. Jirl T. Kola j a, associate professor of sociology; Dr. Laszlo
Zsoldos, assistant professor of
economics In the College of Commerce; Robert M. Rodes, Instructor in the Patterson School of
Diplomacy, and Robert P. Moore,
Instructor, Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures Department.
Requirements for a major are
12 hours
of Russian language
("the key to the club, so that
all participants have a basic experience"), a total of 15 hours of
Russian history, literature, and
Soviet diplomacy in world affairs.
The student plans his remaining 16 hours in accordance with
his interest in one aspect of these
studies.

modeled after a similar program
at Syracuse University, where he
participated in it on both the
undergraduate and graduate level.
After a master's degree from
Syracuse, he received a PhD.
from Harvard in 1956.
