Oberlin Conservatory.
Prof. Patch, formerly from New
York State, holds two music degrees
from the Eastman School of Music, and also the second artist's diploma In piano ever conferred by
that insitution. He was formerly
on the music faculty of Peabody
College, Nashville, and has appeared
as soloist with the Rochester Philharmonic, and the Nashville Symphony orchestras.
Dr. Wright, violinist and composer, will teach strings, theory,
and composition. A graduate of
Hastings College, Nebraska, and the
Eastman School of Music, he was
formerly a member of the Kansas
City Philharmonic, the Rochester
6ymphony, and the New Orleans
Symphony Orchestras. Dr. Wright,
formerly a teacher at Arizona State
College, will come here from Mississippi State College for Women
where he has acted as head of the
music department for the past five
jTars.

Profs Receive
Army Orders
Major Donald W. Glenn and Major Joseph P. Parker, both assistant
professors in the University department of military science, have received orders transferring them to
United States occupation forces, it
has been announced by Col. G. T.
Mackenzie, head of the department.
Major Glenn will be stationed in
Bramerhaven, Germany.
Major Parker has gone to the
west coast where he will sail for
Yokohamma, Japan.
Replacing Majors Glenn and Parker on the U.K. military department staff will be Capt. Frederick
D. Standish and First Lieut. John C.
Boleyn. The two new offiiers recently have completed advanced
courses at the Fort Benning, Ga,
Infantry School, Col. Mackenzie
said.

Wilke To Give
Second Talk
Ulfert Wilke, visiting artist from
the Allen R. Hite Art Institute, will
deliver the second in a series of lectures in room 217 of the Funkhous-e- r

Biological Sciences Building at
3 pjn. today.
In the lecture, entitled "A Gallery
Talk." Mr. Wilke will explain his
different works, which contain surrealistic elements.
Mr. Wilke originally painted as a
realist, but in recent years he has
changed his art into the direction
of imaginative and abstract forms.
He deliberately avoids being obvious,
and when he explains his pictures
many of them are found to be whimsical and amusing.
His exhibit, now on display in the
Art Gallery, will continue for the
next three weeks.

Mosely Says
Pact Lifts

War Threat
The Atlantic Pact will effectively
remove any temptation on the part
of Soviet leaders to launch a sudden
surprise attack in Western Europe
Dr. Philip E. Mosely, of the Columbia University's Russian Institute,
stated in a lecture at Memorial Hall
last week.
Speaking before the UK Foreign
Relations Institute, Dr. Mosely said
he disagreed with critics of the Pact
who contend that its signing "will
provoke Soviet resentment and
counter action."
"On the contrary," he said, "the
concern of the United States with
the defense of Western Europe already has resulted in Russia's softening her manner of dealing with
us. Soviet leaders pride themselves
on' an unemotional calculation of
forces and chances, so the 'real
danger lies in their miscalculating.

With the VS. taking a clear rotation
in defense of Western Europe
that danger, and with it the danger
of war, is going to be lessened," he
continued.
Ne Russian Attack
Dr. Mosely said that there are
(ew signs of a large scale preparations for a Russian attack on the
West, but reminded that the extreme weakness of Italy and France,
plus the presence of only token
units of American and British forces
in Europe were a constant temptation to Soviet leaders.
r The Columbia professor said further that he believes that time is on
the Allied 6ide, not on the side of
the Soviets. "We must strengthen

The name of the bugle can used

pretty much like reveille.
Siren Replace Bugle
In 1911 the bugle system was replaced by a hoarse siren, a monstrous affair which was operated by
students at Mechanical Hall, now
Anderson Hall. When operated full
blast, it was stated that the sirens
could be "easily heard all over the
grounds."
The truth of the matter is the
thing could be heard all over Lexington. Every hour on the hour
babies were awakened, hound dogs
were disturbed, and snoozing students were blasted out of their
seats.
For the sake of higher education,
the local citizenry tolerated the
siren for 11 years.
In 1918 the Lexington Leader proclaimed the passing of the siren
with this jubilant headline "Thank
Goodness, President McVey to Relegate Siren to Innocus Desuetude."
Even if you don't know what this
means you should gather that the
people were happy about the matter.
With the passing of the siren, the
present day system was installed,

Pennebaker, also a UK student, who
heard Brachear call for help while
he was swimming across the river.
After Miss Pennebaker dragged
the student to a rock which jutted
out of the water near the shoreline,
two unidentified boys in a speedboat
took Brachear to the beach.
In an attempt to revive him, Winchester firemen administered artificial respiration for more than two
hours. He was pronounced dead of a
heart attack by two physicians.
Brachear, an army veteran from
Williamsville. 111., was a member of
Beta Sigma Rho social fraternity.
Before transferring to UK he attended Lincoln College.
With Miss Pennebaker and Brachear were Ingeborg Dederlng of

arm to their economy; the Japanese can't live without it and they
fully realize it," Dr. Hartford opin'
ed.
"With (nly 40 percent of their
industry restored, with iron ore
very difficult to obtain, and almost
no outlet for manufactured goods,
the Japanese face a very bleak future, in any event, and an impossible one without our aid," he continued.
Dr Brady stated that "we cannot
hold Japan in a war with Russia,
we can only fight a delaying action."
He added that we are building
tremendous airstrips n the islands
indicating the existence of a contrary belief elsewhere. Since we
do not permit the Japanese to have
an airforce, or other armaments,
they could be of little assistance in
a war, he said.
MacArthur Is Popular
The question arose as to what we
would do if Japan asked that we
take over permanently. Dr. Logan
said that Americans are not colonists, do not like to stay in foreign
lends for long periods, and that it
is against our principles to rule a
people.
He said that General MacArthur
is doing a wonderful job as occupation chief.
"He is very popular with the Jap

anese and has shown great wisdom
in keeping the emperor as a figure
head. In no other way would the
enemy troops have laid down their
arms so quickly," he added.
Because the emperor asked the
people to cooperate, it is now pos
sible for as few as 24 Americans to
control a Japanese state with a
population of 1,000,000, Dr. Logan
said.
Democracy May Be Established
The belief that there is a chance.
although a long one, for the establishment of democracy in Japan
within the next 15 or 20 years, "if
there is no outside disturbance.'
was expressed by Dr. Hartford. He
stated that great progress is being
made in representative government
and in the school system, a system
which had raised the literacy rate
to 97 percent before the war.
"You cannot ram democracy down
any people's throat," said Dr. Brady.
"A society must have a middle class
to have democracy, and Japan does
not have one."
As the discussion closed. Dr. Logan said that the spread of Christianity in Japan offered the best
chance for her peaceful future and

The proposed new amendment to the state constitution is in
itself oor enough. It, too, fixes salary limitations, alleit at a
figure leasonably higher than the present $.r)(M)0 mark. It is the
jHHirest sort of arrangement for any constitution to concern itself
with mailers which are the projier province of the legislative IxkIv.
The fixing of salaries is clearly a prerogative of the General Assembly, and ought not properly to be tolerated in the constitution

up enough to allow us to swallow it.
At any rate, the amendment should be adopted when the
voters of the commonwealth go to the jxJls this November.

The University of Kentucky, which has been previously men-tioncd in the nation's press a time or two for the quality of its
basketball and football teams, may now be pardoned for its pride
in Dominic Fucci, who was this week named to the American
Association of Baseball Qjaches' All America baseball team.

Dear Editor,
reader of the campus newspaper,
may I make a small suggestion?
The Kernel comes out too seldom.
Other schools no larger than the
University of Kentucky

papers every day. Indeed some
schools a great deal smaller than

The very least that could be done
is to publish twice a week.
Perhaps it would be a bit stiff
to leap into this measure with the
large fall issues. So my suggestion is
to experiment with a
Kernel during the summer months
when you have only a small paper.
Start this summer without delay,
and I think you'll find that it will
not be so difficult. There is a plethora of news on campus in the summertime, so much so that your
