Everything Is

Compare the progress of the Medical Center to a rocket.
A dream to provide for the growing medical needs in Kentucky was
conceived in 1SC6 at the founding of
State University. Inadequate funds
caused the plans to be put aside.
In 1931, however, the Board of
Trustees authorized the College of
Medicine. An initial appropriation of
$5 million was made by the General
Assembly in 1956.
Construction began on Dec. 10,
1937. Three years later, the first stage
of the rocket was set off when the
Medical Science Building was opened
in September, 1960. A second stage,
the Heating and Cooling Plant, was
fired.
Today, the third stage is being

A-O- K

launched. The University Hospital is
admitting its first patients. Under the
leadership of Dr. William II. Willard,
the new hospital will penetrate the
unknown and prepare us for tomorrow's medical problems.
Only one stage, the Dental Science
Wing, remains inactive. Yet, it will
open this September. So far, everyand the word is GO.
thing is
The Kernel wishes to extend its
best wishes to the new University
Hospital. The persons who appropriated the money, the engineers who
designed and built the physical plant,
and the staff of doctors who will run
the center are all part of a team.
We appreciate

their effort.

Farcical Elections
The basic principle of democracy
holds that the people should govern
themselves. In national, state, and
local government, a voter must meet
the qualifications established by his
state to take part in an election.
Students at UK meet the qualifications to vote in campus elections just
by being students; however, many
abuse or neglect this privilege. The
elections may be democratic, in the
literal sense of the word, because all
are allowed to vote and have a free
choice, but most campus elections are
not a fair or representative opinion
of the UK student body.
Because of block voting by individual groups and exchange voting
among large blocks those students
without a group to support them have
no chance of being elected in a campus vote. Proxy votes are allowed in
some elections and a student will vote
as many times as the number of ID
cards he can procure.
If an individual is ingenious or

energetic enough to get his candidate
elected, so much the better. He shows
political potentialities. Perhaps a campaign manager might come to UK
and employ a few of these persons to
work on another level.
However, the persons who give
their IDs to another and those who
blindly vote in blocks without questioning the qualifications of the candidate are the ones at fault. We are
presumably mature and intelligent
college students who have reached
the age of reason. But have we?
Those who are even more responsible for the election farce are the
ones who do not vote at all. If a
majority of students would vote in
any one election the blocks would
have no power because they would
be small compared to the total vote.
If more students would vote and
would consider the qualifications of
the candidate before voting we could
do away with this election farce.

The imposing eight-storedifice
with its red brick, fieldstone, and limestone facade gives the Medical Center an appearance of simple beauty.
Beyond the glass doors lies the
same architectural
simplicity and
beauty. While walking along the more
than three miles of corridors that
stretch through the building, I saw
the same simplicity manifested in the
gleaming stainless steel utensils, the
modern electrically-operatebeds, the
color scheme, and the convenient
arrangement of all facilities.
The decor of the new hospital resembles that of a fashionable hotel.
The fountain sculpture, the murals,
and the color scheme add to the
esthetic beauty of the structure. The
cold, institutional atmosphere is

Even though the building and its

convey a simple beauty,
purpose of it is not altogether simple.
Complex devices and processes will
be used for the treatment of the
and the training of medical students. Struggles for life will go on.
Efforts of many individuals will be
involved in the complex life of the
hospital in its constant effort to save
lives and improve methods of medical treatment.
Here in this magnificent hospital
perhaps one of the most modern in
the country life will begin and end,
and medical students will embark

upon a

The University Hospital, too, is
embarking upon an adventure of service to humanity. That service can be
more complete, more efficient, and
more beneficial to mankind performed from this towering monument to

THE READERS' FORUM

Defense

To The Editor:
Support of Americans' fear of the
"big bomb" was the theme of the
Kernel's fifth page Tuesday, (April
17) and apparently the Kernel staff
is scared too, since they used
of the page advancing the
"better Bed than dead" theory.
This attitude is thoroughly disgusting, and I fear for the future of
democracy if such a view corrupts
many more of our future leaders and
citizens. It may seem old fashioned
to all the "progressive" minds on campus, but I feel that it is better to
be dead than to be subjugated by a
tyrannical fiend whose sole aim in
life is to control the lives, destinies,
and minds of the world's entire population.
Great Americans of the past would
feel out of place in this "modern"
age where
appeasers
would abandon their defenses in hope
that they might not be attacked by
the merciless tyrant whdse goal is to
bury us. I dread the day when Patrick Henry's "give me liberty or give
me death" is no longer our position,
or when some naive individuals think
they will sleep more soundly with
their bombs and weapons destroyed
and themselves defenseless before the
Russians.
When Capt. Eddie Bickenbacker,
World War I flying ace, spoke last
week in Louisville, he said Americans
are too concerned with peace at any
price and not with liberty at any
price. This veteran, who dedicated all
three-fourt-

weak-spine-

his efforts to the defense of American ideals, retains what this generation has obviously lost, the belief that
rights are a sacred trust
anil that they must be defended with
our lives if necessary.
Staff writer Bill Bifenburgh sarcastically advocates mass suicide to
avoid the worry of war. His alternate
method, banning the bomb, would be
God-give- n

d

a much more disastrous and cowardly
resort, but it would achieve the same
end. The results would be the same.
Whichever of these two "modest"
proposals he uses, he is welcome to
them. As for me, and, thank God,
as for the leaders of the United
States, defense of the freedom and the
independence of mankind is a duty
we will not forsake.

and its less inv iting counterpart. There
is a beautiful account of one man's concept in the story of one pious Rabbi
Isaac.
Rabbi Isaac was a very devout,
gentle human being, who spent his time
doing good deeds and studying the word
of God. And like all human leiiigs, good
or otherwise, the time came for him to
die. When he arrived at the gates of
heaven, the angel Gabriel welcomed him
and invited him to enter. Rabbi Isaac
then made a most peculiar and unexpected request of the angel, lie asked
that he be permitted to visit hell for
just a little while, just to see what it
was like. And he promised that he w ould
come right back and assume his appropriate place for all eternity in heaven.

This odd request went through

chan-

nels and was returned approved. So
Rabbi Isaac went down to hell, entered
its gates, and there in front of him was
a road that wound up over mountains
and down into valleys, twisting to the
right and to the left seemingly endless.
On either side of the road was ruin,
destruction, desolation, and waste. So
Rabbi Isaac began to walk along this
road.

Where the road veered upward he
walked up; when it curved downward
he walked downward; when it cut to the
right or the left, he walked to the right
or the left, seemingly endlessly. Until
suddenly he noticed something in the
distance, right in the middle of the road.
It wasn't too clear "but it was on the
road. As he drew closer he recognized
a table, a rough, unfinished table, but
one nevertheless. And around the table
were seats, crude, unpolished seats, but
seats they were. And on these seats
were people with chains round about
their waists and metal bars on their
arms so that they could not flex their
elbows.
The-tabl- e
was laden with luxurious

dishes, excellent cuisine, fine foods. But
their mouths could riot reach the food
because of the chains around their
waists, and they could not feed themselves because of the metal bars forcing
their arms to remain rigid. And these
people were gaut cheeked, hollow-eyepale-faceunhappy, belligerent, most

unfriendly.
So, Rabbi Isaac turned and walked
back along the road, went back up to
heaven, was admitted to that ethereal
realm and right in front of him was a
road, just like down below. This road
wound and twisted over hill and dale,
just like down below. It veered to the
left and to the right, just as he had
experienced in his recent trip in the
netherwoild. And on either side of the
road there was no ruin or desolation-ju- st
nothingness, emptiness, space.
He began to walk along this road.
When it veered upward, he walked upward, and when it turned downward,
he walked downward. When it cut to
the left or the right, he walked to that
side, seemingly endlessly. Until suddenly,
in the distance, he noticed something
that wasn't too clear.
Rut as he drew closer it turned out
to be a table, just like down below.
And around that table were crude seats,
and on those seats were people who
their waists
sat with chains round-aboand metal bars along the length of their
arms so that they could not flex their

ellows.
The table was laden with luxurious
dishes, fine foods, excellent cuisine, just
like clown below.
But these people in heaven were
pleasant-faceamiable, fiiendly,
smiling, happy. And Rabbi
Isaac realized then and there that the
difference between heaven and hell is
that in heaven every man fed his
neighbor.
