Ft. Lauderdale has been a springtime shrine
for college students since 1938. when the townspeople staged a "swimming forum" and invited the
nation's college students to participate. The "swimming forum" died the same year It was born, but
the college students have been coming back ever
since.
The small Florida city, populated largely by
retired elderly couples, has to add an extra force of
police every spring to control the student invaders.

Police from six surrounding communities reinforced local authorities in putting down a

at being denied access to their favorite

of here.
Police Chief J. Lester Holt said the students,
gathered here for an Easter vacation of beer drinking and sunbathing, were unhappy because two

closed at sunset. The ureas have been favorite

LAST TIMES

For this country to use nuclear
weapons to win in Laos seems out
of the question. If it tried, it's
highly questionable it could win.
War in Laos would br peripheral.
Still the United States eould not
afford to avoid taking a aland if
the Russians refused a cease fire:
the loss of American prestige in
Southeast Asia and the world
would be too great.
Further, since Laos has four
neighbors Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, and South
Viet Nam Communist control cf
all Laos would be preliminary to a
push against the neighbors.
Even with a truce and cease fire,
it is unlikely the Communists will
yield that northern part of Laos
which they hold now. A cease fire
probably would wind up in a divided Laos.
Then it would be only time before the Reds, without open renewal of the fighting, began infiltrating southern Laos to take
over from inside.

* A Matter Of Laziness

What's happened to the "big weekend"?
That most cherished of collegiate
traditions has almost followed the
laccoon coat and hip flask into the
realm of vanishing memories. Gone
are such gala events as the annual
May Day with its floats and parade
and Lances Carnival, a combination
of F. T. Barnum showmanship, youthful zest, and
ribaldry.
True, there are still Homecoming,
the Little Kentucky Derby, and
Creek Week, but they somehow lack
that essential ingredient of the college weekend campuswide participation. Homecoming in past years has
fallen apart. Its floats and parade
gave way to yard displays and the
displays in past years have degenerated until they, too, have vanished.
Greek Week has never been the
howling success it was expected to
be as Greek enthusiasm for it never
quite materialized. The Little Kentucky Derby has enjoyed an
existence since it took the
spring semester spotlight from the
old May Day in 1936.
We had written off the big weekend's woes as a natural outgrowth
of the University's increased academic
standards and greater sophistication
of its students, but we have had
another culprit pointed out to us
laziness.
Laziness did indeed kill off Homecoming displays. It is far easier to
spend the evening before the Homecoming Game luxuriating at some
plush watering place than to toil all
night stuffing crepe paper and paper
napkins into chicken wire stretched
over a wooden frame. Laziness was
also a prime contributing factor in
good-nature- d

Lances Carnival's demise.
We recently heard a complaint
leveled at campus groups whose aims
lie in the field of "service" meaning
the giving of scholarships. The plaint
was voiced by a Lexington businessman and University alumnus who has
noted an increased tendency of such
groups to seek charity in raising funds
as opposed to granting some service
in return for financial support. He
singled out the Little Kentucky
Derby's practice of asking businesses
for $100 donations, in return for
which the business is given the honor
of sponsoring a bicycle team and
having its name listed in the derby
program.
He felt that such a donation represented little more than
charity and was little more than a
lazy man's way of avoiding having
to work to raise the same funds. He
added that other campus organizations resort to the same tactics, sub"
techniques for
stituting
elbow grease and sweat.
Perhaps the businessman is right.
Perhaps University students are only
interested in an easy way out. If this
is the case, its most damaging results
will not be in the field of social activities with its vanishing "big weekends," it will be seen in future generations who, having become accusin coltomed to seeking hand-out- s
lege, will expect them in business or
professional life.
What American youth may need
right now is a dose of sulphur and
molasses. It may have to be shaken
out of the lethargy of spring fever
before the fever becomes chronic and
lingers through summer and on into
winter.

was introduced on Jan. 3, almost two
months before President Kennedy
established a temporary corps by
executive action and called on Congress to make it permanent.
House Rule 63, sponsored by Rep.
would
Charleys E. Bennett
authorize the secretary of state to
establish in his department a Peace
Corps for young men and women
from 21 to 30 who would agree to
serve not less than three years overseas. Bennett's bill would restrict the
corps to 2,000 members. The secretary would establish rates of pay
comparable to those of the armed
forces, and participants would be
exempt from the peacetime draft. The
latter provision is already outmoded.
(D-Fla.- ),

Legislation Promised

The bill was referred to the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, which
apparently Iras not yet acted on it.
Senate Majority Whip Hubert H.
Humphrey
responded to
.)

Kennedy's March 1 establishment of
the Peace Corps with a promise to
introduce appropriate Peace Corps
legislation, but he has apparently
not yet clone so.
Of course, Congress is still nowhere near completing action on the
16 bills which Kennedy designated
last month. Final action
on any Peace Corps legislation will
undoubtedly have to follow these
more pressing matters. Though Kennedy sent Congress a message on
March 1 spelling out what he thought
the Corps should be, congressional
leaders may feel it advantageous to
wait until R. Sargent Shriver, director of the corps, and his staff have
had an opportunity to further crystallize their thinking on the operation of the embryo corps before they
introduce new legislation.
Bennett and approximately 30
other representatives have introduced
bills to establish a national peace
agency which might, among ether
things, provide in essence an extension of the Peace Corps. The agency's
basic task would be research in disarmament and related areas. Among
the research projects provided for
are those on educational techniques

To The Editors
I wonder if there are many others
among the faculty and students of
our university who, like myself, arc
getting weary of reading in the
Kernel the many articles of adverse
criticism of Capt. B. F. Francis, who
spoke on our campus recently alxxit
Communist influence among students
in some colleges in the United States.
If anyone doubts that such influence
is real, or that it is anything to worry
about, let him procure a copy of the
lrooklct "Communist Target Youth"
from the U. S. Government Printing
Office, Division of Public Documents,
at a cost of 15 cents. This suggestion
is offered to some UK faculty members also who have recently been
quoted on this issue in the Kernel.
This letter is primarily in reference to the article at the top of the
editorial page in the Kernel for Tuesday, March 21, 1961, page 4. Specifically I wish to comment on what was
printed about "agencies of the government" the Federal Bureau of InActivivestigation, the
ties Committee of the House of
the military services, and
also about Mr. J. Edgar Hoover our
FBI Director. Among other statements, the following false statements
appeared in the Kernel:
"They would have us abridge our
right to free speech that only they
might be heard. They would, no
doubt, favor the suspension of habeas
corpus that Communists and "pinkos'
could be jailed and (kept) incarcerated without need for a trial. They
would replace government by the
people with government for the
people, by themselves alone. They

would have us destroy Americanism
in the traditional sense to preserve
Americanism as seen through their
distorted minds."
I thought that everyone who is
supposed to be well informed knew
that Mr. Hoover and his men have
excellent training, are either lawyers
or accountants with the highest integrity and loyalty to the American
system of government. President Kennedy just recently endorsed the FBI
and its program, in a conference with
Mr. Hoover.
The fact that the vote early this
month by our elected congressmen in
the House of Representatives was 412
in favor of, six not in favor of, giving
Activities Committhe
tee continued financial support speaks
conclusively about its value to our
country. The results of the vote mean
that James Roosevelt, F. D. ll.'s son
who sponsored the bill to cut olf all
the funds recommended for the committee's operations and thus put it
out ef existence, was one of the very
small minority, and so was Rep.
who was
Thomas Ashley
quoted in the Kirncl article. Why
give his views such prominence without also punting the favorable comment of one of so vast a majority?

aimed at rendering underdeveloped
nations less technologically dependent; on natural resources problems of
the underdeveloped nations insofar
as they contribute to the possibility
of war; and on population problems.
Thus the national peace agency might
both utilize Peace Corps members in
research and compile information on
how they could be most effective in
underdeveloped nations.

Corps Gets Underway

With or without congressional action, however, the Peace Corps will
be able to embark on at least a pilot
program this year with training programs getting underway this summer
and the first corps members going
overseas in October or November.
The President said on March 1 that he
hoped to have 500 to 1,000 members
overseas by the end of this year. It
is not known how many can actually
be sent if no new appropriations are
forthcoming from Congress to augment the previously appropriated
special assistance funds made available to the corps by presidential
executive order.
Meanwhile, the skeletal Peace
Corps program continues to grow.
Shriver told a press conference just
two days after being named to his
job that a career planning board had
been established with members representing labor, industry, government
and education to assist returning
corpsmen and women to find jobs. He
s

indicated that the
deferment policy agreed to by the

usefulness of the work the corps-ma- n
