not committed to any candidate.
Exceptions are Alpha Gamma Rho,
with 21 votes slated for Leroy
McMullan in the vice presidential

* Expensive Parsimony
The proposed raise

in school tax

for Lexington and Fayette County
docs not, of course, affect most University students. But il represents
something which all of us may have
to face later.
local communities
Traditionally,
and state governments have made
their own provisions for educating
their youngsters with no help from
the federal government. In later years,
however, most school systems have
felt more and more financial pressure,
and in some instances have been forced to curtail their programs to make
ends meet.
University students feel the effects
of small budgets when they encounter
a chemistry course for which they
have had no high school background,
when they enter freshman English
without an adequate foundation and
when they are required to compete
with students from other sections of
the state who have had a superior
secondary education. Ultimately, the
University also feels the pressure as
its professors are forced, perhaps out
of pity or from a desire to keep at
least 50 per cent of their charges in

school, to teach phases of their subjects which should have been covered
in high school.
With the nation's and Lexington's
elementary schools now filed to the sa-

turation point, the situation is not
likely to be alleviated. Indeed, with
more
scheduled to begin their education each year, overcrowded conditions will become even
more intolerable.
Money for more teachers, adequate
facilities, additional school buildings
and higher pay for educators does
not descend like manna from heaven.
If local citizens cannot, or rather will
not, provide the necessary funds, the
federal government must.
No, the great majority of us do not
pay city or county taxes here and our
children will not be educated in the
local schools. We only see, and to
some extent feel, the results of parsipre-schoole-

rs

mony.

When our turn comes, however, we
hope our youngsters' education will
be more important than personal luxuries. Let's hope we don't have to buy
that second car or color TV by trading our children's education for them.

The Saga Of Goldilocks
Evidently dissatisfied with such
coiffures as ducktails,
d
pompadours and
curly contrivances, some local
assorted
teenagers shampooed themselves with
hydrogen peroxide last week and
turned up at school looking for all
the world like the Goldilocks Gang.
Whereupon the headmaster, taking
umbrage at the puerile palominos for
horsing around with Nature's pigments, sent them scurrying home, with
instructions that they might return
only when their hair was once again
au naturel.
We hail the educator's discipline
with a callithumpian ovation, but we
wonder if perhaps such strenuous

lective psyche. No doubt the peroxide
was, after all, merely an expression
of a suppressed inner need (for does
not each of us need to look like a fool
on occasion?), and possibly the forced
return to "normality" will raise merry
Ned with the Goldilocksters' personalities.
But. that's the price we pay for
progress. Now that the psychologists'
asseverations have convinced the public that paddling is not the thing to
do, that young backsides are to be
sat but not paddled upon, parents
will just have to get used to handling

disciplinary matters that teachers formerly would have settled with a swift
switching.
Moral: Do or dye.

Behold, she returneth and the youth
of the city fall down' and worship.
She picketh one and lo, she picketh
a lemon. But the editor calleth him
one of our most promising young men
and getteth away with it. And .they
send unto him a bid to the wedding

feast and behold, the bids are fashioned by Montgomery Hawbuck, in
a far city.
Flowery and long is the wedding
notice which the editor printeth. The
minister getteth 10 bones. The groom
standeth the editor off for a
subscription.
12-mon-

th

All flesh is grass and in time the
wife is gathered into the silo. The

minister getteth his bit. The editor
printeth a death notice, two columns
of obituary, three lodge notices, a
cubit of poetry, and a card of thanks.
And he forgctteth to read proof on
the headline, and the darned thing
cometh out "Gone to Her Last Roasting Place."
And all that are akin- to the deceased jumpeth on the editor with exceeding great jumps. And then they

pulleth out their ads and cancelleth
their subscriptions and they swing
the hammer until the third and fourth
generations.

Jumpeth On The Editor
Consider the editor. He weareth
purple and fine linen. His abode is
among the mansions of the rich. His
wife hath her limousine and his firstborn sporteth a racing car that can
hit her up in 40 flat.
Lo! All the people breaketh their
necks to hand him money. A child
is born unto the wife of a merchant
in the bazaar. The physician getteth
10 gold plunks.. The editor writeth
a column and a half and telleth the
multitude that the child tippeth the
Jbeam at nine pounds. Yea, he lieth
even as a centurion. And the proud
father giveth him an El Ropo.
Behold, the young one groweth up
h
and graduateth. And the editor
into his paper a swell notice..
Yea, a peach of a notice. He telleth
of the wisdom of the young woman,
and of her excellent comeliness. Like
the roses of Styaron is she and her
gown is played up to beat the band.
And the dressmaker getteth two score
and four iron men. And the editor
getteth a note of thanks from the
merchant.
The daughter goeth on a journey.
And the editor throweth himself on
the story of the farewell party. It
junneth a column solid. And the fair
remembereth him from afar off with
a picture postal card that costeth six
(or a jitney.

Fools may be fools, but they can put

up supercolossal arguments before seeing
the light. At least I gathered this much
when arguing with an acquaintance on
parole from Funkhouscr, a skilled painter
no doubt, but an inexcusably unthought-- f
ul man for painting pictures.
Not that painting real pictures is bad
it's just that he tries to paint realistically, a stupidity I hypersensitively
abhor. This was our argument painting
things "sensible" to the mundane, average-minded
people, so I told him people
could obtain "pictures" with simple cameras, which I also abhor.
You see, art is nothing. The introductory sentence of "The Story of Art," a
frank and daringly illustrated novel,
reads: "There really is no such thing
as art. There are only artists."
A magnclcphant arrangement.
So he asked, "How can art le painted
if it doesn't exist?" Answer: "Paint in such
a way that people can't tell what it is,
other than blend and balance, so as to
not give them a basis for denial."
As common people tend to do, 'he
called abstraction absurd, which alone
revealed his ignorance, crucifying people
on the cross of his opinions, laughing
at their symbolism, at my symbolism. I
pointed out that if millions liked modern art there had to be something to it.
He, in turn, contended that people also
had wars.
"Art contributes to art," I said. "Edison
contributed to science, Lincoln to politics, faculties to decisions, key chains to
power, so art contributes to art all the
more difficult since there's no such
thing."
He said he liked Michaelangelo better
than any, making me laugh that his mind
was so scopeless. Michaelangelo painted
clearly what photographer couldn't reproduce clarity? Norman Rockwell, Hank
Chapman, or Leonardo da Vinci could

cawood
that ridiculous. Time wants something to lind sunbolism in abundantly,
be

not be complete?
He rebutted, "It gies nothing to living. It is only pertinent and contiibu-tor- y
to artMs and itself. No puipou."
I said,
"Ait is no such thing, not
sc ience!'
"I know," he s oiled. "It's in the mind.
Engineers build bridges to scne people.
Artists make art to serve art."
"You
uncomprehending idiot," I
mocked.
He raged. "You minion-cloddeSophiv
ticat -- )ou'd degrade a newspaper!"
Which I did. for newspapers aie to
communicate with the common dirt of
mankind, stale pieces of literature the
clay after. Impressionism and abstraction
are eternal, for posterity.
He shrieked, "Kecause il'd take eternity
to make it out!"
I helil up a Picasso and asked, "My
clear child, dots this not ride our subconscious, make your imagination work?"
"I can look into a commode and
imagine things! So?"
I felt like weeping as I held to my
hemorrhaging patience, but composed
tn self and turned away as he took
bottles of ink and angrily slashed them
onto a large strip of paper, cursing our
race and my culture. 'There! Elicits
your art! Nothing!"
As tides turn, he left, and I studied
the painting. Anger was detailed in every
streak, in every drop. I was astonished,
enthralled, finding smbolism beyond
reproach.
Now that man, formerly a fool, has
dedicated his lile to the new movement he so ingeniously started to secure
multitudes of patrons after selling the
first work, entitled " I he Conversion," lor
so why

d

$l,781Uf.

Which is money.
Alter all, what could.be deeper than
dedication to self expression?
