DyJUDYCRISIIAM
Kernel Associate Editor

The United States faced its most critical
teacher shortage in a decade as schools
opened this fall, but Kentucky, even
though shortages in sotnearcasarecritical,
will be better staffed for the 1966-6school year than ever before.
7

Kentucky was listed in a recent Associated Press survey as one of the states
with a "disturbing" number of vacancies
at the start of the school year along with
California, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Rhode Island,
Georgia, Montana, Maine, Maryland, and
Michigan.
For other states, New York, Illinois,
Missouri, Wisconsin, and North Carolina,

the shortage was the worst in history,
according to the survey.
Dr. Sidney Simandle, director of the
division of teacher education and certification in the state Department of Education, told the Kernel that the shortage caused a "critical situation, but when
added up, is still better than last year."
He attributed the shortage to Kentucky's expanding education programs.
school term
He said that for the 1966-6approximately 30,200 professional school
personnel will be employed in comparison
to 28,774 professional personnel in October, 1965, and 22,617 ten years ago.
"There has been no big pupil enrollment," Dr. Simandle said. "Just the
normal increase. Hut there have been
significant jumps in the number of new
teachers."

Students will be the ones to suffer as the nationwide teacher
shortage reached critical stages this fall. The number of provisional certificates issued has risen, vacancies are left unfilled, and
the number of children in a classroom may also increase.

UN Will Become 21

Admist Many Troubles
By DARRELL CHRISTIAN
Kernel Staff Writer

political analysis of the United Nations' role in world affairs
carried the headline "Spark That Once Ignited Freedom Fades
A

Out."

,

The story asserted that the
UN, once a mighty influence
in international politics, is
losing its voice of command. Yet
in one month the UN will
celebrate its 21st birthday, and
the flame is far from dead.
One person who had a hand
in the UN's birth is Dr. Amry
Vandenbosch, distinguished professor of political science and
former director of the Patterson
School of Diplomacy.
Dr. Vandenbosch, who retired
last year, was a member of the
secretariat at the 1945 founding
conference in San Francisco. The
charter was signed by the 51
member nations on June 20, but
it wasn't until Oct. 24 that it
was ratified by the required 29
countries and became the "law
of nations."
The Soviet Union, one of the
five great powers on the UN
Security Council, was the 29th
country to ratify it.
It

political critics that the first nine
months of 1966, with the escalation of the war in Vietnam and
U Thant's decision not to seek

public image.

would increase to at least 1.000 and

M)ssibly 1,200.

"Generally speaking, the increase in
emergency personnel is a consequence of
the augmented and expanded teaching
staff," he said.
The increase, he explained, represents
more instructional services for students
rather than a "deterioration or weakening of the school programs."
The standards for emergency teachers
are now higher, he said.

"We arc also using quite a number
of additional fully qualified teachers,"
he said. "So children will have more

These additions to the number of personnel sought account, in part, for the

Students Will Not Seek
Ex Officio Trustee Seat
Student Government will not
seek a seat on the Board of
Trustees because such representation would require a change
in state law.
But, president Carson Porter
told the association at its first
meeting of the semester Thursday night, a delegate will attend
board meetings to provide informal representation.
Porter said he discussed the
possibility of the student body
president becoming an ex officio
board member with University
President John W. Oswald, and
w as informed of the technicality.
"Dr. Oswald has personally
invited us to send a delegate,"
Porter said. He noted that the
meetings are open to the public
anyway.
Legislation asking the board
for the seat was scheduled to
be introduced by representative
Sheryl Snyder.
In other action, a study committee recommended that Student Government publish a student evaluation of teachers and
their courses. Committee chair

man Phillip Patton called the
program "highly desirable and feasible." Its long
range goal, he added, is to "enrich the University's academic
excellence."
Under such evaluation projects, students are questioned
about their professors teaching
abilities and about course content. The results are compiled
and published in a booklet available for about a dollar.
proposed

Next week, representatives
will discuss which campus organizations, if any, will be allowed to send voting delegates

to the association. The body's
constitution allows up to 10
representatives from outside
groups and 23 elective scats,
which

were

filled last spring.

Two representatives, Snyder
and Steve Cook, were nominated
for assembly speaker, but the
election will be held week alter
next. Representatives, upon the
suggestion

of Tom

Two students, David House
and Robert Walker, began working on the magazine during this
summer. The magazine was
brought about by what House
called a "lack of literary publication here at UK compared to

other universities across the
country."
"Also people in departments
other than the English department wanted their material published, but had no outlets," said

Rouse.

There will be several staff
editors from each department
who will select from the material
submitted by their respective
departments.
There are several staff positions still open, and Rouse hopes
interested freshmen and sophomores will find these so that
there will be "some continuity
of the magazine in the years
to come."
Interested students can contact Rouse or Walker, or the
Office of Student Affairs.
First publication will be next
March, and thereafter will be
printed on a semester basis, with
hopes of expanding to a quarterly.

'Virginia Woolf Best
Movie In 20 Years
By DICK KIMMINS
Kernel Arts Writer
Hollywood took the box office
but left the drama on Broadway
long ago, but finally the celluloid version of Edward Albee's
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
has equaled its stage sister in
dramatic excellence.
Never before has a movie so

completely captured the intense
concentration that is found in
the intimate theaters of New
York. Every word, every action,
every insinuation of the four
characters can be terribly realized in this screen drama.
Richard Burton is cast as the
harried college professor who has
failed in the classroom as well
'as in his marriage to the college
president's daughter, played by
Elizabeth Taylor.
George Segal is Nick, a new
member of the faculty who has
faulty ambitions. The only other
character of any significance.
Honey, is portrayed by Sandy
Dennis. Honey is Nick's pregnant wife who avoids thinking
of the possibility that her husband doesn't love her.
These four people live through
a night of agonizing "fun and

games" that torture both the
hosts and the guests until their
brutal senselessness ends at
daybreak.

The film is in French with

It is directed by Jean Vigo.

the (University) Collection and
a Preview of a New Gallery
Program."
Gallery hours are daily 1 to
5 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m.

Throughout the movie, Elizabeth Taylor fights a battle; not
only with her husband, but with
herself.

"Virginia Woolf is the best
movie to come out of the Hollywood trash factory in twenty
years. The fierce battle between

Substance Vs. Appearance
The newly-create- d
President's
Council of Students has the potential to be a significant force
of thought and action. The University has long needed a viable
student organization to discuss
with the President the issues and
problems affecting the student and
the University community.
However, that potential was
not realized at the group's first
meeting Thursday. Instead, significant issues of higher education,
and more important, significant
problems facing the University
were bypassed.

Klt-clion?- "

tween freshmen and sophomores,
Dr. Oswald?"
Dr. Oswald was concerned
about classes too but in a different
sense. During the luncheon, he
had pointed out that the University was enrolling markedly more
junior and senior transfer students
who had already proven themselves academically, but who possibly were being excluded from
UK student affairs and activities.
Apparently, the students and
Dr. Oswald have differing views
on the scope of this committee.
What disturbs us is that the counstudent
cil is composed of
leaders. If their comments Thursday represent their primary concerns, the students they lead can
expect little from the group.
We would hope this committee
will concern itself with perceptive
discussions and programs such as
campus political and social debate
and involvement, teacher evaluation, amplified student participation in the University's decisionmaking processes, and the position
of "college" athletics in an institution of higher education, to mention only a lew.
so-call-

Admittedly, Thursday's meeting
was introductory and organizational in nature. We hope the
introduction is not indicative of
future concerns of the committee,
composed of eight organization
memleaders and four
bers.
"at-larg-

e"

The only meaningful topics discussed at the meeting were introduced by UK President John W.
Oswald. Dr. Oswald explained that
he organized the council for three
distinct purposes:

uation of important projects started
by the Student Centennial Committee.
To possibly initiate new and
vital student projects.
3. To articulately discuss issues
of higher education and immediate
campus problems.
But Dr. Oswald's challenge immediately deteriorated into a dialogue of petty social "issues." For
example, "Why can't freshmen
have beanies?" "Can we have an
informal dance at homecoming?"
"Can we have both a
band and a dance band at
Founders Day Ball?" "Don't you
think we need more class rivalry

rs

However, from the way "student leaders" have handled "issues" in their respective organizations, chances of this council as
it now stands taking a significant role are seriously slender.
Therefore, we think Dr. Oswald
should appoint additional
selected
members. It
