Illness Separates
Chip And Dale
"Dale is doing fairly well, thank
you. but Chip is terribly lonesome."
G. Dickey, wife
said Mrs. Fran
of the University president.
Dale,' one cf the cogs belonging
to' the Dickey family, had a convulsion in the Margaret I. King
Library at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Student? who were in the library
that night noticed a black dog
which ww frothing at the mouth
in the Reserve Reading Room.
Someone carried tle ill dog out,
and the campus police arrived
quickly to put a leash on his collar and lr ad him away.
Dale, contrary to the opinion of

the people in the library that
night, does not have distemper, but
he does have an infection. Mrs.
Dickey said that the veterinarian
told her Dale's condition might
be due to a kidney infection. Dale
is under heavy sedation.
Chip, the Dickey's other dog. is
mourning the absence of his playmate. The two dogs were litter-matand have grown up together.
They have been members of the
Dickey family for almost four
years.
"Chip definitely misses Dale,"
Mrs. Dickey said. "He doesn't run
and cavort like he usually does; he
is Just moping around." she added.

Rayburn Has Pneumonia

DALLAS, lex.. Oct. 11 (AP) House Speaker Sam Rayburn developed pneumonia during the night and became unconscious, his
i.hysician said today.
Dr. Rctert F. &hort Jr. said he could not determine when what
lie called "the crisis" would come.
Rayburn is receiving oxygen at times through a mask and at
other times is breathing with aid of a machine, the doctor said.
Rayburn entered Baylor Hospital 10 days ago and doctors diagnosed
his illness as incurable cancer of the lymph system.
Dr. Short issued this bulletin at 1:30 p.m. lEST):
"As reported earlier this morning, Mr. Rayburn is in critical condition due to development of pneumonia. At the present time he is
responding moie to external stimuli. His temperature has receded

taking antibiotics and intermittent positive pressure breathing

"The U.N. is not Just a

that Is confined to the East River

history, but part of the conflict Is
found within the U.N itself, he
said. Dr. Johnson asserted that one
conflict in the U.N. is between the
systems that seek to impose their
influence upon the character of
the world group meaning that the
Soviet and American systems are
battling to uphold their forms of
government by instilling their governmental concepts into the U.N.
The entire world must band together in order to keep the United
Nations in existence.
He said the U.N. did not realize
its power until the Korean War
broke out in 1950. Before this time
the purpose and the future of the
organization was hanging in midair.
Dr. Johnson pointed out several
factors concerning the Korean conflict which brought the U.N. to
new life. The war showed that the
U.N. was still alive and could be
used successfully. It also demonstrated that the secretary-genera- l,
who at that time was Trygve Lie
of Norway, was willing to take a
stand against the Soviet Union.
"This stability was only temporary because growing Soviet military strength, establishment and
growth of Communist China, and
the tremendous growth of the
African nations," he added.
"The new nations of Africa are
primarily Interested in their own
problems and are not concerned
with the major problems of the
world except as they affect them,"
he said.
Talking about the future of the
U.N., Dr. Johnson said that the
new secretary-generwill probably come from a small, underdeveloped, neutral nation in South
America, Asia, or Africa.
In conclusion, he again stressed
the Importance of the United Nations and what it can do for world
peace.

Can and should the United Nations survive?
In Dr. Johnson's words, "it is
Important that the U.N. be continued because it is the foundation of an International World
Order."
Because of Hammarskjold's
death, the world crisis is more
acute than at any other time in

Dr. Lyman

V.

Giiif;rr, hend of

'he College of Education, expressed
ihis opinion concerniim the "new

:ipproach" to the problem of in-- (
it
Hsing costs in American public
schools.
The new approach was proposed
by Dr. Sam M. Lambert, research
director for the National Education Association. He proposed that
the brightest 15 to 20 percent of
ninth graders complete their high
i chool work in three
years instead
f four. This would mean a saving
f about $282 million for this group
;'lone.
rs
He also said that if gifted
were permitted to finish
their elementary and secondary

schooling in ten years instead of
twelve, the savings would amount
to $103.5 million.
Dr. OhiKer said the new program would work well only in large
schools. It would require more
teachers or put an extra burden on
existing teachers if. for example,
there were only one first grade
class In the school, and the gifted
students were given special instruction.
In a large school with several
first grade classes, the gifted students could be placed in the same
class. This would require no extra
teachers and would give the gifted students a chance to work faster in their studies.
Dr. Ginger said that he proposed
finish
letting gifted
elementary and secondary school
in 10 years instead of 12. But he
said those students who went to

college would be two years younger
than their ilassmates. They would
not be us mature physically and
emotionally as other students, he
said, and would not fit in socially.
He went on to say that he favored letting students
finish high
school in three years if they had
the mental capabilities and the
characteristics of a mature person.
Several large high schools in Kentucky are already placing gifted
students in special classes so that
they will not be held back by
slower students.
Dr. Ginger said that the new
program has many problems. It
would require rearranging curricula, and it would require teachers

the annual

Homecoming, Greek Week, and
Little Kentucky Derby are also star
calendar events that UK students
look forward to each year. And, of
course, the atmosphere wouldn't be
complete without the traditional college hangouts and other popular
spots for relaxation such as the
Botanical Gardens.
Yes, we have all these traditions,
but we also have a few less pleasant
ones like the traditional Kentucky

Dogpatch was the setting for the

There was an atmosphere of
teing "down on the farm" with
tveryone dressed in hillbilly costumes. The women wore pigtails,
Mraw hats, and calico dresses,
while the men were decked out in
their finest patched overalls and
faded shirts.
Of course, to follow the Ken

tucky tradition, most of the students attended the party barefooted.
Tika Rouse and Dave Zachary

"We really had a swell time
and the band was great," commented one of the calico-cla- d
women.
The Terriers supplied the music
and there was both round and

Where Were They?

This past weekend a group of faculty members and students met at
Camp Daniel Boone to discuss some
of the problems of the University and
to possibly find answers to these problems.
The 19(31 Leadership Conference
was a success because it brought out
some very sound, objective thinking
and discussion from both sides.
University students owe a warm,
heartfelt "thank you" to the faculty
members who participated in the conference. Yet, the question remains:
why were more faculty members not
present at Camp Daniel Boone? At a
time when their opinions, support,
and guidance were needed where
were they?
Three professors graciously consented to participate in a panel discussion, "What is Wrong With Today's Students at UK." But a fourth
member was needed.
Forty-siinquiries of 46 professors were required to find the other
member who was willing to participate on this panel.
It is not the KcrneFs desire to make
a "whipping post" of the faculty, but
this incident does bring to our attention another shortcoming at UK:
Some members of the faculty have
x

the idea firmly entrenched in their
minds that their only duty to the
students is in the classroom.
Most of the professors asked to
contribute their time and ideas to
this conference undoubtedly had valid
excuses for not attending the conference, but approximately 30 of the excuses were utterly deplorable.
As an example, one professor
evaded the question for a few minutes and then volunteered the rather
vague statement, "I cannot possibly
go. I am expecting to be sick that
weekend."
The day the conference began, the
professor was seen in class as usual,
apparently robust and healthy.
Many faculty members and students are constantly striving for better faculty-studerelations. But
then, there is a certain segment on
both sides who couldn't care less.
Again, a hearty and grateful expression of appreciation is due the
faculty members who did participate
in this year's Leadership Conference.
It does seem though that if just
a little more time could be given to
ventures of this type the effort would
be very worthwhile for tomorrow's
leaders and for the leaders of today,
too.

When Bullels Cross A Border
Mutual protest by American and
East German authorities have been
voiced over a fusillade of shots on
Berlin rooftops. But subsequently a
single shot has been fired which presents an even sterner question.
In the first episode, Communist
border guards fired initially at a man
still on their side of the border. West
Berlin police answered when bullets
fell at their feet. In the second, an
East Berlin "Vopo" fired deliberately
at a West Berlin policeman who looked over the wall to see where rocks
were coming from that had smashed
a truck windshield.
If Herr Ulbricht's

THE READERS' FORUM
FiniN No Justification

50 Didn't Vole
To The Editor:
Many of us have been wondering
why Student Congress expects so
much support and enthusiasm on the
part of the student body. Student
Congress itself isn't interested enough
to set up polls in all the colleges on
tirrje.

Approximately 50 students tried
to vote at the designated polling
place for the College of Education
(Taylor Education Building) and
found that the dean's office had not
heard anything about it. Consequently, 50 votes or more were not
cast, and possibly the
candidates didn't have as good a
chance as would have been possible
if more people had been able to vote.

Will Student Congress now reprimand the student body of its lack of
interest?

To The Editor:
lite and now Beader Robert Anderson's comment on the "Paging the Past" report on "the cartoon
of '59," is an indication that time
may dull the lessons learned by experience, or, possibly, that lessons
may not have been learned at all.
n

Albeit, if Mr. Anderson feels no
embarrassment for the '39 incident,
the man who bears responsibility for
all student editorial mishaps in the
process of producing one of the nation's outstanding student e d i t c d
newspapers can find no ethical or professional justification for a belligerent defense f this particular example
of the remarkable editorial freedom
enjoyed on this campus.
If we diil not apologize in '59, we
should have; if we feel no embarrassment for an example of poor journalistic taste, wo ought not publicly
admit it.

What's Involved In Getting An Education?

As an undergraduate, however, I
discovered that, if you did not go
out for grades and were somewhat
independent of mind, you could get
yourself an education. So it was that
I early formed the habit of never
reading a subject in which I was
taking a course. I let the instructor,
who presumably was master of his
subject, lay out the course for me.
I simply attended class, listened carefully, took careful notes, and that
was all. If ever I was interested in
this subject again, I had a solid starting point. Meanwhile, if the course
was in say organic analysis, I might
be reading my way through Shaw or
Shakespeare.
the examOf course, just
ination you pulled out those notes,
did some intensive scanning, reflected
a bit on what the instructor could

possibly ask the questions could not
be too detailed, it would be unfair
so that, with a general view of the
subject, you could march into an examination and get a decent gentleman's grade. To get A's of course
meant that you subjected yourself to
his kind of thinking and sacrificed
your independence of mind. And so it
went. Afterwards, matching myself
against the graduates of the liberal
arts colleges, I decided that, though
this training may have been a bit
hodge-podg- e
and unconventional, I
was certainly not uneducated. I. I.
Bahi.
I would like to add one other comment which seems to me to have bearing on the question. I think the only
things that the young are able to learn
proficiently are such subjects as mathematics and the exact sciences. These

subjects require no maturity. Proof
of this may, I think, be indicated by
what genius can do in these subjects
at a very early age. But all of the
difficult subjects, as compared with
mathematics and the exact sciences,
subjects that involve the speculative
and inquiring use of the human mind
on the dark anil diilicult problems of
the human race, cannot be dealt with
by college students.
The notion that you can make
young people wise is preposterous.
The notion that you can make them
learned in the social sciences or in the
humanities, that young people can
really be made to understand the
great novels or the great poems, is in
my experience simply unreal. Therefore, the hope that we can turn out
of our colleges rounded, balanced,
young people is, I
d

think, the mistake that we make when
we try to create a program to that
end.
All that we ought to hope for
from the libt ral arts college are a few
very simple things. I'll personally be
satisfied if those who won the bachelor of arts degree were able to read,
write, speak, listen, observe, measure
and calculate-l- or
these are the skills
of learning and to do these things
well. But the idea that true learning
can be achieved in college, that the
bachelor of arts degree signifies a
truly educated man or woman, this
seems to me the misconception underlying almost all the discussions we've
had about the role of the liberal arts
college in our society. Mortimer J.

About 17S0 Daniel Boone surveyed a tract of land
for his nephew. In 1847 a mansion was built on the
property.
Today the mansion, called Waveland, is the home
cf the University's Kentucky Life Museum. It is located
five miles south of the campus on Higbee Mill Pike, Just
