"The fact that papers today are
more characteristic of big business
than ever before is to the glory of
the work. Journalism today is a
professional job with moral and
social respect like the jobs of peo
ple everywhere else."
Love for the work, a sense of
humor, pride in your job and a
thick skin are the four traits needed by today's journalist, the Courier writer contended.
He said it takes a love for the
work to keep the routine tasks
from becoming too routine. "Love
for the work lifts each story into
another realm and sets it off as
an individual task.
"It takes a sense of humor to
carry the journalist through the
extremely serious material to ' the

newspaper man should never
apologize for his work. Instead of

dull teacher, but more probably it can be
attributed to the fact that the student is
just plain sorry, with no desire to learn,
and with no business at this, or any,
University.
This student attitude is far more widespread than educators today will admit.
But the fact is that half the people here
do not care a whit about learning. Their
grades show it: their attitudes show it;
their habits show it.
For who is the object of scorn in a
large class where the curve system of
grading is used? The person who sets that
curve, naturally. Most of the people in
that class would be content to have
everyone make the same grade, rather
than have anyone excel. And when someone makes an "A," the common
of those flunking is: "Yeah, but
you study!"
Of course they study. That is what
they are here for. They are under no
illusions about the world owing them a
thing, and they realize that anything
worth gaining in college must be worked
for.
Students spend far more time gabbing.

What The Hell- -l Tried, Didn't

Impasse At The Overpass
students, particularly
coeds living in the dorms, have been
dodging traffic as they cross Euclid
Avenue. For years people have realized the danger to pedestrians caused
by the hellbent juggernauts that tear
along the street. And, furthermore, for
years suggestions including the use"
of underpasses, overpasses, catapults,
handwalks and grapevines have been
tendered as to how one may solve the
problem.
For years

Just beginning its route through
University channels is an architect's
drawing (shown on the facing page)
of a Goldbergian contraption that
arches gracefully above the traffic in
figure. While we
a sort of
appreciate the aesthetic beauty of the
thing, we wonder why the approaches
to such a modernistic structure have
been designed as if by the originator
of the medieval maze. In order to
gain access to the overpass, one must
walk almost as far as one would travel
in crossing the street itself. And, hu
ed

man nature being what it is, chances
are that most people, would rather
dart through the traffic than wind in
and out of entrances to get onto the
overpass.
Except for those hours when Euclid's traffic is exceptionally heavy, and
for persons attending basketball and
football games, it would appear that
the overpass now under consideration
is a waste of concrete and money. We
see no point in having such complex
access routes as shown in the drawing, nor why the entrance should be
surrounded by fencing. Vehicles
could be kept off it by merely putting
posts around the entrances, and pedestrians would be spared the game
k
of
in finding its aphide-and-see-

proaches.
We therefore ask the University officials responsible for approving the
design to consider these objections
and to reject the overpass, as ft is
now proposed, rather than construct
something that will in all likelihood
remain untouched by human feet.

For Artists, Vandalism
The recent vandalism to the paintings and sculptured works in the
Fine Arts Building shows not only
popr taste, but most of all it shows
a terrible lack of unsophisticated
humor. The "rub" of it is worse because the destruction included a
Wrought iron model that was to be
presented to the University.
The paintings were in a public
display. This did not give added
rights to the visitors to take it upon
themselves to schow their dislike with
such vehemence as to destroy the
work of months or, conceivably, years
It would be too mild to say that
this destruction of students' work is
very discouraging.
.

This latest exhibit of rampant emotions was not the first, altholigh it
was the worst. Students have made
added sections to sculptured works
and more lines and color to paintings
in the past; but not to the point of
irreparable damage as was done this
time. Evidently the displays have
been considered as public bulletin
boards to take from or add to at will.

pknics, the lake or going home than at
any study desk. Many students study less
than 10 hours a week, then feel they have
made a genuine sacrifice. In other words,
scholarship is not the main enterprise
among University of Kentucky students.
The school fully desencs the title "party
school."
There was a time when a college student was looked upon by those outside
as a true scholar, intensely' interested in
improving his intellect. Not so now. Anyone who is ambulatory and has a high
school diploma is admitted to college, and
remains there because the University itself
promotes an atmosphere of frivolity almost as much as it docs one of learning.
lUit primarily, the loafing student remains in college because our whole national culture is geared to accepting mediocrity.
I'm not talking about the controversial
"C" student at all. Certainly some students are more diligent in earning their
"C" than others with better grades. And

There are no practical conclusions that
derive from analyzing the situation. As I
said, most people are too disinterested to
care. It is too bad the time and effort of
professors must be wasted on that sorry
lot; it is even worse that these cople arc
not embarrassed by their situation: and
it is doubly worse because they are proud
of it.

The Readers' Form
Separate Entrances
To The Editor:
I have just finished reading the letter,
"Real, Not Imitation," in The Readers'
Forum of Friday's issue (May 1). This
writer feels the Negro student warrants
an apology for such inconveniences as

were mentioned, and praise for having
written with such subtle forwardness on
what is a very touchy subject.
The letter contained a jmwerful wallop
at a very serious national problem which
a lot of us here in Lexington like to think
happens not in our fair city. I refer to
enthe Ben AH Theatre's colored-patrotrance on Short Street, across from the
county jail and settled in the shadows of
a darkened alley.
Many of us who have been around the
city for a length of time have become accustomed to seeing this entrance, and
have come to take it for granted, even
to the extent of thinking it something the
colored patrons should feel proud
of
having. This belief niay be a case for the
doctrine, on the colored folks'
part. Certainly this is nothing to be boastful of, and we should recognize that exclusion is not conducive to social harmonies.
However trite this subject may sound to
some of us, there are others to whom (it)
is of the greatest concern. There
are
some who would like to return to medieval days with all their splendor and
n

sour-grape- s

grandeur, but this may well uever happen. Today we live not in medieva
