Seeks 10 Percent
Of Vending Profits

A proposal to give the Student Congress the profits received by the University from
campus vending machines was
presented to Dr. Frank G.
Dickey, University president,
yesterday afternoon.

The request was placed before
Dr. Dickey by 25 students headed
by Jim Daniel, congress president,

Daniel noted that the University

governing body to adequately meet
the needs of various student organizations and the special projects that the congress may seek
to undertake.

summer sessions of each school
year.
The University receives ten percent of the total profits from the
campus vending machine sales.
The amount received for the fiscal
year beginning June 30, 1960 and
ending June 30, 1961 was $6,800.
Daniel pointed out that In requesting this money to be given to
Student Congress, the students
were seeking profits from cokes,
cigarettes, and candy bought by
their nickles and dimes. He emphasized that no request was being
made for financial aid from legislative appropriations.
Earlier this semester, Dr. Frank
D. Peterson, vice president for business administration,
rejected a
proposal for SC ownership of the
machines.
Daniel recalled that Dr. Dickey
had previously expressed concern
about the prevailing student apathy. The congress president noted
that student interest and enthusiasm could be achieved if worthwhile projects were offered to
them, but these projects would
necessitate additional finances.
The discussion with the University president indicated that the
profits from the vending machines
were used for matters that did not
merit financial support from state
appropriated funds.
Especially noted were the Com

mittee of 15, a Faculty committee
to study University
appointed
problems, and the Curriculum
Committee.
Study
Daniel asked that a report be
submitted to Student Congress
after Dr. Dickey had made an investigation of how the funds had
been used in the past five years.
The congress head requested
that further consideration be given
the matter if the results of the investigation indicate that the funds
are not being used for the purposes
enumerated by Dr. Dickey.
Indications were that if Dr.
Dickey found the University could
do without the funds, he would
make this recommendation to the
Board of Trustees. The board
would make the final decision.
Student Congress was asked to
submit to Dr. Dickey its proposed
budget and a report of special projects suggested for the year.

Professor Awarded Grant
To Study Learning Process
Dr. David L. Horton, assistant
professor of psychology, has been
granted $10,900 by the National
Science Foundation to compare retention of learning through sight
with that of hearing.
The answer will be especially
significant to the University, he
said, since students are required
to learn so much material through
lectures.
In the experiments. Dr. Horton
said he is attempting to find out
how people learn languages by
teaching them an artificial one.
Successful teaching of an artificial language would back tip current explanations of the learning
process.

Using students as experimental
subjects, Dr. Horton will be seeking to learn:
1. How persons form new ideas
and how they form a mental bridge
between the ideas.
2. The manner in which a task
or problem is explained to a person and the effect it has upon
solving problems.
The experiments are especially
concerned with the learning of individual items and the ability of
people to form relationships between ideas.
Dr. Horton's grant will be administered by the Kentucky Research Foundation.

Hillbilly 'Beats
?

UK Coed Enjoys 'Beats, Big City Life
By MIKE FEARING

Kernel Daily Editor
It was quite ironic that a group of UK students
had to travel all the way to New York City to hear a
Li'atnik hillbilly!
Like must tourists we passed by many a "hole in the
vail" looking for Die choice spot to get that Greenwich
Village atmosphere, finally we decided that the Gas
Light Cafe was just the place and descended to discover
a rather sorry looking young man strumming a guitar
and singing a hillbilly ballad.
It seems that Ntw Yorkers are crazy about what they
call folk songs. 1h utically this Is probably right since
most of them never u me in contact with the South where
this type of music is to often heard.
This was the thinning of one of the many experiences the University ttudents encountered on their study
tour of the United Nations last week sponsored by the
YMCA and YWCA.
Of course no "teat" atmosphere is complete without the recitation if poetry. The young man who read
his poems that niht even admitted some of his verses
were just "nice to listen to."
Hp read one long poem from t!-- back of an envelope

Lexington. It was interestiinc to discover later lie was

college and born in
Knoxville, Tenn.
New York City than
The University is closer to
most of us thought. On the mirror in the rathskeller
Club was the decal of Kenof the German-America- n
tucky along with hundreds of other stickers from colleges all over the nation.
Rightfully called the fraternity house of the nation,
the rathskeller was filled with college students singing
and enjoying themselves.
Some of them would probably outclass the average
d
UK student financially, though. One
young man paid his check with a bill in the three-figur- e
bracket.
For one who has never been to New York the only
impression that can be had Is perhaps through books
and personal sketches of the city. Primarily, a book
would never convey to a reader the different types of
people in a big city nor the actual size of things.
The printed page never told me that the Broadway theater is not big and grand. The theater in my
hometown of 30,000 is biKgrr and more beautiful than
the one that presented "The I'nsinkable Molly Brown."
Or that Times Square is so small that on Saturday
night one has to walk in the street to get past the
crowd on the sidewalks.
Or the feeling I got standing beside a

couple In Tiffany's who were buying a $1,000 gold charm
for a bracelet or the lady who was selecting $500 worth
of glass to decorate for a dinner party she was having
that evening.
Or how flabbergasted I felt when I discovered I
was eating lunch with the president of one of the biggest advei Using agencies in the city during a series of
U.N. conferences.
I suppose one of the most true-to-licharacters in
New York City is the cab driver. Some of them will talk
to their passengers and others will only mumble.
After you have stepped into the street to flag a
cab and Jump into the back seat followed by his demanding prod that you hurry up, the taxi driver races
down the street to Jam on his brakes behind a stopped car.
Gay Kinglesmith. a sophomore radio arts major,
said she was going to be disappointed the next time she
uses a taxi if the driver does not take her on a nerve-rackiride.
The great city does have a nervous, fast moving
pace and probably creates many ulcers. But it Is not a
hard city to learn. Once you have mastered the subways and the layout of streets and avenues then you
automatically acquire the half running, half walking
style of the natives as they rush from place to place.

I had expected more gardens,

But I was very much moved
when I saw the Coliseum, the foot-oa- ll

cafeteria. They seemed to me to
be superbly designed and well

With all the hurried movement

like Grand Central Station last
Saturday morning than a sorority

The girls ended the evening

were suspected of sneaking out.

After that, the yearbook is a, wonderful source of diversion and useful research. Try counting the number of '
girls as compared with boys to see if
that ratio of 3 to 1 is REALLY true. Or
decide which fraternity has the largest
number of attractiveboys. Or draw mustaches on the pictures of professors who
have given you low grades.
Our next suggestion is to pamper
yourself. Pat does this by buying a new
outfit for studying. She got a zany
cable knit sweater in a signal pattern
of yellow, blue, black, white, red and
emerald green. (Guaranteed to wake
up the sleepiest roommate.)
She also wears Hymson's "hot dog"

wonderfully comfortable. And

A Letter From Dr. Dickey

Dear Students:
World University Service has become the agency to which the international student community can turn
in time of crisis. One of the continuing functions of WUS is to supply material assistance to stalf and
the
students in need throughout
world. The principal fields of action
are: problems of .student housing and
living, student health, and emergency
aid, including refugee services.
WUS is a program of mutual asconcerned
sistance and education
with providing material aid while
building international understanding
and cooperation. It is a
program

carrying

out

work without regard to race, creed, or
nationality. WUS is not an American
organization giving bilateral assistor charity to other
ance, a hand-out- ,
countries, but is the cooperative effort
of students and professors in 10
countries.
Although we are called upon frequently to participate in and to contribute to worthy causes, I can think
of none more iniortant than the
World University Service drive which
will be underway soon.
Please be as generous as jiossible
in your contribution to this worthy
organization.
Frank G. Dickey
President
University of Kentucky

My Old Kentucky

A recent letter to the editor (Friday, Nov. 3) expressed some rather

stirring comments on the anticpaity of
"My Old Kentucky Home." It is suggested in the letter that this famous
and beloved song be relegated to the
realm of folk singers.
Is the writer of the aforementioned
letter from Kentucky? A quick guess
would certainly bring a negative answer to that question. It's very hard
to imagine a Kentuckian speaking of
"My Old Kentucky Home" so lightly
and critically.
If the writer of the letter isn't
from Kentucky, then he should be informed that the very song which he
criticized is the same song that brings
tears to the eyes of good old
and causes them to stand
erect, proud of their state and its
heritage.
It is epiite foolish to think that a
song that remains so well in the hearts
of Kentuckians will ever be relegated
to the realm of folksingers.

Formula For Mediocrity

'Shelter'

sung to the tune of "My Old Kentucky Home," are dedicated. Maybe
he will sing it at the next football
game, since it is at least up to date
and follows his suggestion.
"The bombs cause blight wherever
they are blown,
'Tis wartime, Nikita is gay;
Revolutions are ripe and the commies
are in bloom,
While America sends them airplanes
anyway;
Everyone lays on the little shelter
floor,
All moaning, till late in the night;
By'n by some neighbors come
ing at the door,
And you start shooting at them left
and right!
Sweep some more my lady, O sweep
some more today
If you don't sweep all the fallout off
the floor.
You won't live to see A Brighter Day."
Sing on, old boy!

Answers l'age Critic
To The Editor:
At last the Kernel has produced
an entire page of enterprising news
coverage and critical analysis
(Wednesday, Nov. I, Henry Miller's
"Tropic of Cancer").
Then some reader wiites in (Tuesday, Nov. 7) and condemns this page
lor a misplaced line. How inqiossible
can one get?
For his information, the line
should have mentioned that Henry
Miller's writing was at times like
ll.iuilel.iiiean poetry. It was a more
important line in the story and it
was unfortunate that by oversight (we
cannot definitely place the blame with
the proofreader or the printer) the
line was omitted.
It was embarrassing to the editois,
and Kvra Hackley, who wrote the

story, is certainly gnashing her teeth
for the treatment.
But we fail to see that the line
omission destroyed the page.
