"Progressive Jazz took the beat away from popular
music a few years ago and the teenagers couldn't dance
to It." according to "Fats" Domino, who will play here tonight.
"Rhythm and blues put the beat back In and the teenagers love It," the
recording artist added.
"There's nothing really new about rock 'n roll," said
the New Orleans performer. "I've been playing it ever
since I can remember, only we knew it as rhythm and
blues."
Born Antoine Domino in New Orleans, "Fats" was the

only one of nine children to show an Interest In music.
At 10, he was playing the piano and singing for pennies
in the local honky tonks.
Early in life, an accident nearly ended his playing
forever. A heavy spring at a factory where he worked fell
and gashed his hand. Several stiches were necessary and
there was doubt as to whether Domino would ever be able
to move it again. Today he carries a long scar as a
reminder of the incident.
In the last three years alone, Domino has sold over
10 million records, including his renditions of "When My
Dreamboat Comes Home," "Blueberry Hill," and "My

Blue Heaven" on Imperial records.
"Fats" appeared in 20th Century Fox's Cinemascope production of "The Oirl Can't Help It." When asked what
he thought of touring Russia as part of the U. S. State

Department Cultural Exchange program, he replied, "If
those cats like to dance, they'll dig my kind of Jive."
Domino still makes his home in New Orleans, where ha
has a wife and six children.
His show, sponsored by the Student Union Board, will
begin at 8 p. m. in Memorial Coliseum. Advance tickets
at $1.25 may be bought today at the SUB from 11:30-- 1
o'clock. Tickets at the door will be $1.50.

Dr. Dickey terminated his address with the cautioning note that
while increasing emphasis on research, the University must move
forward on a
and

Following Dr. Dickey's speech
was an address by O. W. Helm,
administrative assistant in the Office of Naval Research.
Helm said "approximately half
of our country's basic research.-i- s
conducted in academic institutions,
of it is financed by

the federal government."
He added that the government
"has a continuing responsibility to
contribute" to the' future of research as it becomes more complex and expensive.

day, four UK professors and administrators, along with two of the
guest speakers, discussed administrative and financial "factors

Guignol Electrician Finds
New Problems In 'Cyrano
By BOB ORNDOKFF

James Read, electrician and
lighting designer for the Guignol
.Theater, Is busy preparing lighting layouts for the Guignol production of "Cyrano de Bergerac,"
scheduled for March 7.
"Cyrano promises to be one of
the more interesting productions
of the year, as it offers a challenge in the field of lighting," said
Read.
Read explained that the five sets
vMch will be used In 'Cyrano"
present a big technical problem.
He said when placing lights for
one set, the other four must be
kept in mind. If possible, the same
light could be used for several sets.
He explained that the changing
moods of a play must be "felt" by
the audience and the manner in
vhich the stage Is lighted plays an
important role in the creation of
4--

this essential atmosphere.
Although lighting is an important aspect of atmospheric setting,
Read said it must be changed delicately" and gradually so as not to
be noticeable. Otherwise, the audience's attention will be drawn away
from the actors and will focus on
the lighting effects, defeating their
primary purpose.
He Is certain that he will be busy
with lighting cues throughout the
time duration of the play ami even
between acts, when a number of
circuits will have to be switched
In order to light the next act
properly.
Read arranges the lighting, operates and services the dimmer
board for Guignol production.'; and
worics the lighting effects for other
presentations of the Dramatics and
Music Departments which require
the use of lighting.

After serving frm May, 1954,
until January, 1958, as a pilot in
the U. S. Navy, Read returned to
UK, where he will graduate In
June.
"My main interest in lighting at
the present time is centered in
exploring new realms of the lighting field." he said.
Read served as lighting designer
for productions of "The Cross Purpose," "Caine Mutiny Court Martial" and "The Enchanted" last
semester. He also designed the ret
for "The Cross Purpose."
In addition to being scheduled
for Guignol, "Cyrano de Bergerac"

30,000 Readers, Two Opinions
A university, one would assume, is
a place peopled by individuals of
higher than usual intellectual curiosity and achievement.
One might further assume that
people of such caliber, since they are
either molding or engaged in becoming the future leaders of our society,
would have some sort of opinion on
any given issue and that, further, they
would be interested enough in their
opinions to want to express them.
From the cobwebs in our mailbox,
ve are beginning to wonder whether
the Kernel's readers are in complete
accord with what it prints or if they
just don't care enough about their
views to spend 10 minutes writing us
a letter.
This week, for instance, we printed
some 30,000 papers. Assuming that
someone read at least part of each of
that number, then 30,000 chances
were offered for you to express your
opinions. Out of that 30,000 potential,

we received just two letters.

A

To call this discouraging would be
a classic piece of understatement. Letters are our best means of knowing
your opinions, your reactions; they
often suggest topics for editorials anil
matters which might bear investigating. When only two people care
enough to respond to items read by
about 30,000 others, we begin to wonder if the University is a center of
learning or the center of a great intellectual vacuum.
We know that more than two people have opinions antl would like an
opportunity to state them. The Read'
ers' Forum offers just that: a place
where you may comment on anything
you so desire, no matter how much
you disagree with us.
We began the year with a surplus
of mail every day, and nothing would
please us more than to see this week's
trickle become next week's and succeeding weeks' flood.

girls eating on meal tickets; three
of the six came in at 7:12. .

In the 15 minutes before the closing of the line, 53 persons were served,
and of that number, 41 were meal-tickholders.

policy of long standing, but, until
this semester, one which was not
strictly enforced. The few stragglers
who barely got undfer the wire didn't
face a breakfast of cold toast, cereal or
doughnuts because the "hot" foods
had been jerked from the steam
tables at 14 minutes, 59 seconds before nine o'clock.
A definite closing time is necessary.
That is indisputable, and some enforcement of the policy is needed, too.
But for that enforcement to be so
inflexible borders on the ridiculous.

To The Editor:
I hate basketball.

No, I am not prejudiced. I know the
University has one of the best basketball
teams in the nation, and Kentucky people
Jove the game as they would their babies.
That doesn't bother me. I still hate
basketball.
Why anyone would crowd in a big $4
million barn to just watch 10 boys throw
a little old rubber ball through a hoop
with a net on it is just silly to me.
' Two little men run around with whistles in their hands trying to make sure
the boys follow silly little rules like dribbling the ball or running into someone
tlse. And coaches jump up and down and
scream and cuss every time the little men
make a questionable call.
It's just crummy.
And the crowd. Oh, how childish
people can get at the games. I once saw
a little old lady jump up from her
wheelchair, run out on the floor, and
admonish one of those little men carrying the whistle.
It's disgusting. I tell you.
You can hate me all you want. I don't
care. I still hate basketball.
To me it is the only game where ab-- v
normal, gangling boys can make a name
for themselves. Most ol them are better
known to the American people than the
present secretary of defense. Names like
"Big O" mean more in our society than
ihe name of President Nasser. Many think
Nasser plays forward for the University of
Pennsylvania.
Sure, there's a lot of tin ills and fun in
watching the sport. A man died of a
heart attack at an exciting game last
year.
As much at 1 dislike it, I still have to

Rumors are not always the soundest
basis for a column, but in the last week
a flock of them have been making the
rounds of campus political circles.
The Campus Party will set the date
for its nominating convention Monday.
Jt probably will be on April 11, one
week after the Students' Party has its
convention. Some of this week's "rumors"
are dealing with these nominations and
others deal with possible shifts in party
by a certain organization.
Oddly, the vice presidential nomination has begun to get the undivided attention of two present SC representatives.
Both are presently taking soundings to
determine if they have any support for
the nomination.
The xld part of this adventure for the
two concerned is that they have placed
both parties on the cautious side. Rea-Mn- ?
Neither seems too particular as 'to
which party they get the VP nomination
lrom.
Indications are that neither has
a
chance for either party nomination now.
NobyJv wants to risk it.
V1AT ABOUT PRESIDENT?
Although the vice presidential nomination exists as a feather in the cap of the
man who gets it, the SC presidency is
a different matter. Earlier this year three
as outstanding presipeople loomed
dential possibilities. Now all three,
through one means or another, have eliminated themselves from consideration.
Whayne Priest, .an early Students'
Party favorite, has all but withdrawn

from consideration lor the nomination
with his decision to enter Law School
next fall.
On the Campus Party side, both former
CP chairman Bob Chamblis and the
party's 1958 vice presidential nominee,
Dan West, hae more or less eliminated
themselves. Chambliss will enter Vandu-bil- t
med school next fall and West is no
longer interested in making the rate.
The present situation indicates lx)th
parties have one ace in the hole. Campus
Parly sentiment would be heavily for Bob
White, Little Kentucky Dei by chahman,
il he consented to run.
The Students' Party situation seems to
be clearing slightly with the beginnings
of a movement on behalf of ferry Johnson (Pharmacy). He heads SC's committee
on student insurance. The piograni piob-abl- y
will be put into effect by convention time in April. If Johnson ami White
don't pan out as candidates, there's no
telling who'll be nominated.
A FUTURE PARTY SHIFT?
One source close to one of the founding
organizations of the Campus Party drop
ped a clue this week that the group is
considering a paity shift.
The organization is quite potent in
the College ol Engineering and the hint
ol discontent may only be a gestuie to
gain bargaining power in the Campus
Party. The oiganiatiou, Tiiangle
was
accoicling to the report,
supposed to send an "obseiver" to the
Students' Paity meeting Wednesday, but
none appealed.
