Ormandy Would Like New York Birthplace"Although I was born in Budapest, Hungary, I have
always wanted to tell people my birthplace was New
York," said EugcrieOrmandy, director of the Philadelphia Symphony 'Orchestra.
Ormandy taidi while reading American history in
high school, he- realized immediately that he must
come to this country. He was five years old when he
entered the Royal Academy of Music in Budapest.
Ormandy graduated from the academy at 17, well prepared for a career In music.
Because musicians' hands are subject to the danfer of
being broken and mangled, Ormandy's father urged
him to attend the University of Budapest to study a
substitute vocation.

After graduating from the
University
where he
studied philosophy, Ormandy went to Vienna where he
was a solo violinist for two years.
Ormandy said the political atmosphere of Europe
was "hot" during the years
and when the
offer came to direct the Minneapolis Orchestra, he immediately accepted, but not without some misgiving.
He was worried because he was not trained to direct
orchestras.
"I joined the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra in
1936 and since that time I have made three European
tours. The purpose of the tours was to present an
American orchestra to the people of Europe," Ormandy

Ormandy feels that American youths should not ba

symphony music because this country Is too young
and symphony music in this country has overpowering
"Rock-an- d
competition from Jazz and
-- roll music
is a field in which I have little understand
ing," said Ormandy.
He said young people in Europe would rather go without food for one or two days in order to buy a ticket to
a concert or opera. He said that student tickets were
so hard to purchase that it was sometimes necessary to
stand in line eight or 10 hours a day.

The purpose of the program is

'have to be between 5 and 10 per

prefer the 10 per cent discount.

the

it is believed that the entry of

Any minor points within

constitution of the SUSGA objected to by Kentucky will be changed,
according t" Strache.
The association has no power to
make any decisions which it can
attempt to force upon its members.
It can only study a situation and
make recommendations decided by
a conference of the members.
Its power of discussion pertains
only to. .a policy of the participating

at many universities student governing bodies are in charge of student publications.

SC will decide whether to join

24 at Auburn.
The committee investigating the
use of parking funds by the dean
of men's office reported that the
annual income from parkins is
opprcximately $10,000 a year.
This amount pays the salaries
of the parking lot guards and half
the salaries for the four full time
campus policemen.
The balance
goes for the maintainance of the
parking areas.
The salary of the SC secretary
comes from the SC budget and not
from the parking funds. The secretary answers SC correspondence,
types SC reports, does work for
the judiciary committee and handles fines.

* Federal Pie In The Face
After

governmental
and a good deal of heated
debate in educational circles about the
National Defense Education Act's
loyalty clause, the intrastate allocation
of Kentucky's $77,000 share in the national pic has been announced.
The University, however, received
its slice of pie in the face. With the
largest student body of any state
school, the University's $5,817 share
in Kentucky's funds was second lowest. Only Eastern, with 2,715 students
and a $4,8S6 allotment received less.
On the other hand, the University
of Louisville with an enrollment of
some 800 less than our own received
the University's
more than twice
share. The U of L, with $12,328, was
followed closely by Morehead's $11,-23Morehead has an enrollment aph
proximately
that of the
University, and yet it received more
federal funds. So did Western and

justifiable dissatisfaction.

There are several reasons why the
University, with the state's largest
enrollment, was given short shrift in
this situation.
The most probable
cause is that federal officials merely
allocated so much money per state, according to the state's number of college students, and did not follow
through to see that funds were distributed, within each state, according
to the same standards.
Perhaps, if the University's protest
is accorded a fair hearing in Washington, next fall's fund allocations
will not be so inequitable. For the
moment at least, the federal program
is falling far short of its supposed intentions by permitting such an undistribution of
balanced
per-capi- ta

NDEA funds.

ment will have to adjust to the new
standing requirement.
The figures show that students are
making better grades this year because of the 2.0 standing. A poll taken
by the dean of admissions during the
fall semester last year showed that
over last year.

A 'Country Club' Ups Its Dues

The 119th birthday anniversary of
Marse Henry Watterson came around
Xlonday. And, as has been the custom of Kernel editors for generations,
we pause for a moment to listen again
to the voice of the favorite godfather
of collegiate journalism at the University.
Only two years after uninterrupted
student journalism began at Kentucky
51 years ago, Marse Henry set forth
this guidance for journalists:
"It lias been my rule, aim and effort
jn my newspaper career to print nothing of a man which I wouldn't say
to his face; to print nothing of a man
in malice; to look well and think twice
before consigning a suspect to the
ruin of printer's ink; to respect the

"You have lost your mind," you say.
To the contrary. I have only begun to
find myself.
By chance one day I sat ba(k with
the latest, edition of the directory and
opened it to the first few pages of the
women's section.
As I scanned the names, the classifications, the addresses, the intentionally
wrong numbers, I poured over with
thoughts.
Pick one up yourself. Look at the
names and think of the abstract art you
could paint with them in mind: Hoard,
Booth, Bush, Cable, Comb, Feather,
Glass, Shaver, Vest, Ware, four Clays,
five Cooks and two Hauhctts!
Not only that, but stories! Look at the
names that connect you instantly with
