Kernel Staff Writer
Former University President,
Dr. Frank G. Dickey, said Wednesday night, "Greeks have a
definite part in the system of
higher education and they are
here to stay."
In his third speaking engagement at the University since his
resignation in 1962, Dr. Dickey
spoke to an audience of about
1,000 concerning "The Greeks'
Responsibility for Leadership."
Since resigning from UK, Dr.
Dickey has been serving as
executive director of the National
Commission on Accrediting. In
this post he represents the commission to professional accrediting associations.
The commission is a voluntary
association of 1,400 American
colleges and universities.
"It should become apparent
that the continuing education of
the individual becomes a concern
of the group. The concept of
leadership which is indigenous
to the Greek-lette- r
organizations
is based upon continuing education and service," Dr. Dickey
said.
Citing an article by John
Gardner, Secretary of Health,
Education, and Welfare, in which
Mr. Gardner shows his concern
that too many people are afraid

to assume leadership, Dr. Dickey
said:
"Mr. Gardner makes a real
case for our universities' doing
more to develop student leadership, and my feeling is that one
of the best places where sound
leadership can be developed is
in the Greek organizations."
Dr. Dickey presented what
he felt were the five major
characteristics of outstanding
leaders.
"The first requisite in the art

of leadership is knowledge but
I would add quickly,
not just
any kind of knowledge," he said.
Dr. Dickey described the type
of knowledge required forleaders
as that which "grows out of
accomplishing difficult tasks."
Dr. Dickey expressed the
opinion that the present generation is now much more willing
to honor men and women who
have learned to think and to

'Supermen' To Perform Tonight

UK faculty and students will
have an opportunity to see these
"supermen" in action tonight
as they present a concert at 8 p.m.
in Memorial Hall. The performance is free and open to the
public.
Versatility as well as varied
activity characterize this industrious group. Their program
tonight will begin with "Canzona

and close with "Music for Five"
by Lawrence Moss, a modern
composer.
Other selections include "Die

"Quintet for Brass" by Victor

Art Exhibit
Set Sunday
The first joint exhibit of
Baroque artists Sebastiano and
Marco Ricci will open from 3
to 5 p.m. Sunday in the Fine
Arts Gallery.
The
exhibit was assembled by UK Professor of Art
Michael Milkovich from 25 lenders, including the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, Princeton, and
Harvard. It is under the patronage of Signor Sergio Genoaltea,
the Italian Ambassador to

for Five Brass" by Collier Jones.
This music will be performed in
chronological order.
When they aren't coneertizing,
the members of the Quintet may
be found giving music lessons
to UK students, recruiting pros-- '
pectivc music majors at high
schools throughout the South,
performing in individual recitals,
traveling between concerts at
UK's community colleges, and
practicing, practicing, practicing.
"We like to think that the
traveling we do and the concerts
we give help to improve the image
of UK's music department," Rex
Conner, UK instructor of music
and the tuba player, said. "In
the past two years, the number
of music majors has greatly increased and we feel we have
had some part in this."
It goes without saying that
such an exceptionally active
group should be exceptionally
talented. Trumpet player Jack
Hyatt, UK instructor of trumpet,
has performed under Stravcnsky,
Hindcmith, Craft, and Burgan
as well as performing duo recitals
with Armando Ghitalla, principal
trumpet player of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra. He's also
an accomplished pianist.
Conner has had wide teaching

experience including the University of Missouri, Nebraska State
Teachers
and the
College,
National Music ('amp at
Mich. He has been a
soloist and clinician at South
Dakota Music ('amp, has held
a tuba clinic at Purdue University and has judged in many
music contests.
Roy Schaberg, UK assistant
professor of music, was the band
director and theory instructor at
Hope College, and the horn instructor at Michigan State
before coming to UK. He
has also been a clinician, guest
music judge, and
conductor,
soloist with local orchestras and
schools. Schaberg plays the horn
in the Quintet.
The group's two other members are graduate students. James
who plays the
Wonnacott,
trumpet, received his undergraduate degree in music education from Baldwin Wallace
College. Tom Senff did his undergraduate work at North Texas
State College in music theory.
He is the group's trombonist.
Exceptional talent, boundless
energy, and unfailing dedication
are all that's required of Brass
Quintet members. Anyone want
to try to qualify for number six?

The Purpose Of The President's Honolulu Conference?
The President's reasons for
arranging a hurried trip to Hawaii
at this particular time are not easy
to understand.. It is even more
difficult to assess what the practical
value of the journey may turn out
to be.
Mr. Johnson took the spotlight
off the hearings of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, but
only temporarily. He may or may
not have confused the efforts of
the United Nations to produce a
neutral approach through which

unreality. How does one aid, rebuild and make fertile again a
countryside which is being fought
over by about 225,000 Viet Cong,
200,000 U.S. troops and 550,000
armed Vietnamese? One third or
less of the rural hamlets in South
Vietnam are nominally controlled
by the government of General Ky.
These are enough to make a start
on, perhaps, but hardly enough to
win a weary and disaffected people
over to enthusiastic participation
in a war they loathe. The rest of
the countryside will be burned by
our troops, scorched by our
chemicals and bombed by our
planes whenever we feel that
enough Viet Cong are around to
make the effort worthwhile.

Poor Comparison
Back at home the President must
face a Senate which can hardly
have been uplifted or made sympathetic by his angry words in
Honolulu. All who worry over or
question his present program are

Futhermore, the cataclysm of
World War II and our involvement
with it bear no comparison with
the struggles of North and South
Vietnam and the comparison should
never have been drawn. The whole
unhappy outburst fully deserves
Walter Lippmann's rebuke about
"hot and unexamined generalities."
The major cause for concern
about President Johnson's trip,
apart from the atmosphere of
impulse and improvisation, is that
he repeatedly sounded a tough and
belligerent note that must fall with
particular harshness on those who
are laboring to produce peace and
to extricate us from our predicament. There is nothing to show,
moreover, that he won even partial
agreement from Premier Ky to one
of the indispensable conditions of
any peace conference: the presence
of a representative of the Viet Cong.
Indeed Premier Ky's contribution
seemed to be a repudiation of any
and all conferences. "We pledge
our determination," he said, "not
to surrender or to compromise with
the Communists in the north or
in the south." After this, his promise

in the search for "an
to
honorable and just peace" sounded
less than convincing.

In Dubious Battle
If the President's anger in Honolulu
his mood toward
and particularly the
Congress
Senate, the country is in for an
unhappy interim. No President, as
Woodrow Wilson tragically proved,
can win a pitched battle with the
Senate, particularly over an issue
on which the country itself it painfully divided. The Committee on
Foreign Relations has not been
hard on the President. It has been
courteous and has remained silent,
in some viewpoints, for almost too
long a time. It is now seeking to
engage in the kind of debate that
the Constitution and the people
expect of it when great decisions
are in the making and fateful conclusions must be drawn. Mr.
Johnson's vision of himself as a
great President, a vision he has
striven hard to realize, could be
irrevocably compromised if he
injects anger and invective into
such a debate, rather than the
reasoned information Congress has
a right to expect.

"What has happened in context of the church's own understanding of its purpose in college has changed radically," said
the Rev. Doug Sanders, adviser
to the Campus Christian Life
Fellowship. "We see this in our
Sunday morning services."
The Campus Christian Life
and the Methodist Foundation
began holding Sunday morning
church services at their respective
centers last year.
"We see so many more students we wouldn't have seen
ordinarily, because when we
have 11 o'clock services, we are
doing what the church does,"
Mr. Sanders said.
To call the students together
and relate to them in terms
of their own life is the purpose
of the church, according to Mr.
Sanders.
"The old approach is dying;
the day of the campus fellowship is dead," he said. "It is
culturally dead and theologically
indefensible."

The fundamental purpose of
the proposed coffee house is that
it would provide such a place.
"There are people on this
campus interested in talking
about more than Saturday's football game and yesterday's date,"
said one student.
The coffee house, according
to Mr. Sanders, would be designed for these people.
"The coffee house has the
full cooperation of the University administration," said the
Rev. Don Leak, University religious coordinator.
Episcopal Father Malcolm
to colBoyd, "chaplain-at-large- "
lege students, often holds services in a Toronto coffee house
and also starts a prayer service
with a reading from Edward
Albee or from one of his own
one-aplays.
One San Francisco State College minister said, "I'm generally where the action is," in reference to his operation in a
coffee house rather than a church.

Along with this new approach
to religion goes the jazz masses
held at M.I.T. and the Twentieth Century Folk Mass at Lexington's Church of the Good
Shepherd.
The latter, which is held here
each year, features contemporary
music using trumpets, guitars,
string bass, and piano as background with a contemporary
rhythm. (Kernel, 1963)
"Our use of the Twentieth
Century Folk Mass has illustrated that young people by the
hundreds will go to church on
any day at almost any hour
when the services are arranged
in terms and moods and rhythms
to which they can respond."
said the Rev. Clarke Bloomfield,
rector of the church. "And they
will stay away in the same large
numbers from worship which
they do not understand and in
which they cannot intelligently

participate."
"This new trend in music
is evidence that there is presently a revaluation going on of
what church music really is,"
said the Rev. John Akers, assistant rector of the church. "If
we can get contemporary sounds
in the church, we may interest
more people in worshipping."
The Campus Life program
which was begun at UK last
semester has still another approach to religion and the college student.
It is an intcrdominational Student Christian Movement designed to to present the "relevance of Christ to college stu-

dent."
According to Miss Kathy
Rice, a former school teacher
who is helping to start the group
on this campus, they "meet in

or sorority houses
fraternity
mainly for personal, informal
contact" to discuss whatever
problems the student may have
or questions he may want to
ask.
"There is no 'membership' to
it," she said. "The student just
comes when he feels like talking
or just listening."
The Rev. Mr. Leak said he
had also considered several other
approaches to religion for the
college student.
"I've thought of having a
mass revival," he said."Ormay--

bc a
campaign."
He also said the "fraternities and sororities resjM)iid well
when they are invited to attend
church in mass."
"I've thought alxnit inviting
them every week."
Reevaluation is taking place.
The church is changing and
adapting to the particular needs
of the college student and, of
a new age and "spirit". The oldf
approach which is dead; is slowly, but surely, being replaced.

ROOMMATES: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE
think that with all the progress we have made in
the education game, somebody would have found a cure
for roommates by now. But no. Roommates remain as big
a problem today as they were when Ethan Mather founded
the first American college.
(Contrary to popular belief, Harvard was not the first.
Mr. Mather started his institution some 100 years earlier.
And quite an institution it was, let me tell you ! Mr. Mather
built schools of liberal arts, fine arts, dentistry and tanning. He built a lacrosse stadium that seated 200,000.
Everywhere on campus was emblazoned the stirring Latin
motto CAVE MUSSI -"- Watch out for moose." The student union contained a bowling alley, a weighing mabarber shop.)
chine, and a sixteen-chai- r
(It was this last feature the barber shop that, alas,
brought Mr. Mather's college to an early end. The student
body, being drawn chiefly from the nearby countryside,
was composed almost entirely of Pequot and Iroquois Indians who, alas, had no need of a barber shop. They
braided the hair on top of thei r heads, and as for the hai r on
their faces, they had none. The barber, Tremblatt Follicle
by name, grew so depressed staring day after day at 16 empty chairs that one day his mind gave way. Seizing his vibrator, he ran outside and shook the entire campus till it crumbled to dust. This later became known as Pickett's Charge.)
But I digress. We were exploring ways for you and ydur
roommate to stop hating each other. This is admittedly
difficult but not impossible if you will both bend a bit,
give a little.
I remember, for example, my own college days (Berlitz
'08). My roommate was, I think you will allow, even less
agreeable than most. He was a Tibetan named Ringading
whose native customs, while indisputably colorful, were
not entirely endearing. Mark you, I didn't mind so much
