Kernel Reporter

As he rejoins the University
community for the seventh time as a
trustee, A. B. “Happy" (‘handler
has some words of wisdom garnered
from his nearly 25 years connected
with UK affairs.

In a recent interview, the former
governor dispersed some of these
”pearls.“ pertaining to students,
athletics and the coal industry.
arrrorrg other subjects.

“Wear the world with a loose
jacket," he says to students. and
“don‘t be disappointed with a set-
back; a grade pst isn‘t that im—
portant." Instead. he said. “it‘s so
important to take care of your
health; there is no need to dissipate
yourself “

As a strident, t‘harrdlcr avoided

Wh'skey especially "takes away
inhibitions and people don't care.

should lie, (‘handlerreplied “(let a

of all and meet people. tUK) is a
great place forthis. but don‘t let the
tail wag the dog."

He advises students now to “try
and experience things or you‘ll
never know. There is no substitute
for experience."

There is also no substitute for age.
“Nothing but time and maturity will
give you proper tx‘rsix-ctivc.”

And he emphasizes. “llon't get in
a hurry. The whole thing is in front
of you, It‘s thurryirrgt not good for
you.

He went on to say of education,
"There is so much information that
specialization is the result. This
places overall limitations on in«

there is no place for them, they need
to do something else."

toward the press, ('handler said it
was the “hotheads” of the Sixties
that rrradc him push for the Kernel‘s
move to independent status.

"It's a filthy bird that befouls its

attacked the policies of the ad-

government should he allowed

everything. This is a mistake."

Enthusiastic about college

of the most attractive features of
college life. designed to create a
spirit, a rallying point." Yet, he
