By DOROTHY SCHREMSER
kernel Staff Writer
Amid the reality of overflowing ashtrays and a household in disarray, Father
Elmer Moore discussed the equally real
business of the Newman Club.
"I could dedicate my life to something much better than being a professional baby sitter," he said. "However,
at the beginning of the semester the
students are told that they are expected
to give their time, talent, and money in
the development of this parish," he

added.
The Newman Club

is now a parish,
he explained. This means that all functions of the church are a part of the student's relationship with the club. In addition to full liturgy, the sacraments such
as marriage and baptism are performed
at the church.
"Catholicism is not the parish priest,"
Father Moore said. "It is the whole organic group of people each doing the
job in which he is talented. My function is to guide, counsel, and perform
duties of the church, such as saying
mass and hearing confessions."
Leadership training in Catholicism

the organiza
tion, he explained. We are training
young people to le leaders when they
return to their parishes; people who will
not be content to sit back either in their
church, their professions or as human
beings.
"It is important that students learn
the relationship between their profession and their faith," Father Moore said.
"The Catholic faculty on campus is
obligated to help the students in this
respect and therefore lecture at the club."
Father Moore expressed the idea of
developing the "whole man" so that his
religious life is not just "an oddity or a
distant portion of his everyday life."
As an example, Father Moore explained, special programs are conducted for medical and legal students. The
Catholic doctor or lawyer must be aware
when moral and ethical aspects enter
into his decisions, he said. With senior
students, cases are discussed considering
decisions that must be made by the
"whole man."
The organization of the club's business functions is a well thought out plan
of committees and subcommittees who
is the primary objective of

are charged with carrying out the details of everything ranging from maintenance of Father Moore's quarters to
arranging and scheduling all church
programs, internal and external.
The Newman Club of tomorrow, it is
anticipated, will have 2,500 students.
The new building, for which Father
Moore is raising money, should meet the
requirements both of the students and
the people who will wish to use the library planned in the new building.
"If a student is studying a particular
papal period in history, it is only natural
that he could look to our library for information," he said. Library plans show
one story of microfilm information, two
stories of "primary research material,"
and 120 study cubicles.
"Primary research material," he explained, means that complete works of
people such as Cab in and Luther would
be available not just "other people's opinions of their works."
March 1 is the scheduled date to begin razing the present structure on Rose
Lane. The new center will have a 250
feet frontage. In addition to the circular

New House Site
The University Baptist Student
Union is considering the purchase
of two lots at 546 and 542 Hose
Street for construction of a new
$240,000 building.
The thirty-da- y
option to buy
the two pieces of property probably will be acted upon within
the next two weeks by the Kentucky Baptist Convention, according to Calvin Zongker, director
of the UK Baptist Student Union.
The convention is holding a
general meeting next week in
Louisville but does not have to
act on the proposal to buy the
property at that time, Zongker
said.
Zongker said his group is conmove
sidering the
from their present location at 317
South Limestone because of UK's
planned dormitory expansion to
the Southeast of the present campus. The move to Hose St. would
put the Union closer to the proposed dormitoiies, Zongker said.
Tentative plans for construction of the building call for its
completion in about two years
he said. The new building will be
similar to the present one on
Limestone.
Funds for the purchase of the
property and construction of the
new building will be raised by
the Christian Education Advance
and other statew ide chives.

"Individuals, foundations, and corporations, not necessarily Catholic, are contributing to the building fund." Father
Moore explained. The library will be

and the auditorium will be used for other than just
Catholic lectures, he added.
Father Moore expressed the ideal relationship that exists on campus between
the "14 major religions" represented.
Presently each of them are presenting
"position papers" in which they discuss
their views.
Judging from the success of Father
Moore's fund raising program the ideal
relationship apparently transcends not
only religious differences but locality differences as well. He explained that funds
will be coming from outside the state
from people who see the value of the
Newman Club's objectives.
e
Perhaps the quiet,
garden placed by a horticultural
student just outside the present sanctuary already expresses the contributions
of the "whole man" that Father Moore
sees as the living force of the church.

Two Music Recitals
Planned This Week

Two music recitals, one tonight and one Friday, will be
presented in the Fine Arts Building.
Phi Mu Alpha, music honorary, will present a recital of
American music tonight at 8 o'clock in the Laboratory Theatre of
the Fine Arts Building.
The concert will include works by University students Jerry
Grady, Louisville; Mike Jones, Lexington; and Joe Peck, Columbia,
Tenn.
Participating in the event will be the Faculty Woodwind
Quintet; the Student Brass Ensemble; the Student Percussion Ensemble; Mike Sell, Valley Station, tenor; Mike Jones, violin; and John
Carr, West Liberty, trombone.
Cost of admission is 25 cents. The proceeds will go for
scholarships to freshman music majors.
At 8 p.m. Friday the University Musicale Series will present
a recital by Phyllis Jenness, contralto, in the Cuignol Theatre in
the Fine Arts Building. Ford Montgomery, also a member of the
music department faculty, will accompany Iter.
Miss Jenness will perform works by Henry Purcell, Schubert,
Brahms, Milhaud, Erie Satie, Bela Bartok, Handall Thomson,
Samuel Barber, and Irving Fine.
Miss Jenness came to the University after having studied with
Grace Leslie and singing professionally in opera, concert, oratorio,!
and radio. She performed the leading roles in Carmen, and The
Medium, as well as contralto roles in Faust, lUgoletto, Caiulleria
llusticana, Magie Flute, II MS Pinafore, and others. She also appeared
frequently as soloist in The Messiah, Flijah, and other oratorios.
Since coming to Lexington, she has become well know n as a
contralto soloists, in recital apcaranccs throughout Kentuc ky as well
as in opera and oratorio here and elsewhere. Miss Jenness is conductor of the Lexington Singers, a community choral group.

Steps have been taken in an effort to gain campus-wi- de
participation in Student Congress activities, Steve Beshear, congress president, said today.
Beshear said the work of Student Congress recently had been

hampered by a lack of support from
president said several provisions had been established in order that
congress work would better represent the University student body.
Beshear said congress first was attempting to get a list of
names of students interested in working with congress members. He
noted that a registration table had been set up Monday in the Student Center to get the students' names.
Applications for students who wish to participate in the congress' centennial projects also will be available at the registration
table, Beshear said. He said ideas for the centennial program could
be submitted at the table.
Appointments of students to serve on various congress committees will be made from the student list and the congress itself,
accordingto Beshear.
Beshear said students should sign the list only if they are
willing to actively participate in congress work and represent the
student government in campus problems.
"The charge that all students are not represented in congress is false," Beshear said. He noted that those who make this
charge apparently are referring to the fact that the legislative
body is composed of members of the Creek system.
"The idea that the legislative members of congress repre'Greek outlook' is unjust and an insult to
sent only the
the integrity of tliose elected members," Beshear added.
The president said, "It is the expressed desire of the congress members to serve as faithfully and honestly as possible the
University student body which they were elected to represent."
He said the University student has been misinformed and misled if he does not participate in congress work because of this

alleged defect.
Beshear cited student support as vital to the future of Student Congress. He said previously students had not had a sufficient means to voice their desire to serve on congress committees
and participate in congress activities.
"Only through the active support of all students can congress efficiently and effectively fulfill its purpose as the voice of
the student," according to Beshear.
Beshear urged students to attend congress meetings and offer
ideas and discussion. He said plans for the congress part in the
University Centennial celebration would be discussed at the next
meeting, which will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday in Room 309 of

the Student Center.

* "Actually, He's Down To A Merc Shadow"

The Lost Room

Libraries are to be used. This
fundamental should be, and probably is, explicitly stated in any introductory vocational course for
librarians. But apparently this simple truth is too elementary for those
that have organized the University
library. They seem to be seeking a
higher purpose that of collecting,
cataloging, and storing away information to be kept, if possible, from
the spoiling touch of human hands.
Our library's less than simple
organization of materials defies sensible logic. Why is it that newspapers and documents recored on
microfilm are stored in two different
areas? The more recent documents
that are on film are shelved on the
first floor adjacent to the periodical
room and are cataloged in an easily
manunderstood, straight-forwarner. But on the top floor, and in the
opposite comer of the library, are
the rest of the microfilms. The metal
drawers that protect them are coded,
and the key to their contents and to
the code can be found only in the
Wilson Room.
This room, however, is not open
nights, or Saturday's after 12 o'clock
noon, or at all on Sunday's. Anyone
is free to rummage through the
coded drawers any time that the
main area of the library is open,
but without the card cataloge key
any effort to find a specific filmed
document is utterly pointless.
And in the Wilson Room, that
awesome area of limited access, are
stored such important documents as
d

an early edition of Shakespeare's
"First Folio," rare Audubon bird
prints, paintings by Paul Sawyer,
stacks of Henry Clay's letters and
papers written by other important
personages. But this sacred area is
soiled by an administrative policy
of "over collecting."
Almost every Master or Ph.D.
thesis ever written at the University
and submitted to the library is
stored there a place where poor
literature can rub shoulders with
the great.
Almost every book that deals
extensively with Kentucky history'
can be found there. Apparently the
historyr department is a large stockholder in the rare book room. Some
of the books are certainly neither
rare nor well documented, although
some are, admittedly, out of print.
The Kernel suggests that the
authorities take a long look at the
Wilson Room and consider these
changes. All microfilms should be
stored in one area and cataloged
uniformly by a system that is
of that located in the rare
book room. Theses should be reviewed. Those that are significantly
creative or exceptionally well documented should be submitted to the
University Press for publication.
The rest should be shuttled off to
the open stacks. Books of questionable value on the rare book market
should be returned also to the open
stacks to facilitate greater general
usage.

Letters To The Editor

To the Editor of the Kernel;
In the Nov. 4 Kernel we were

treated to an editorial exhibiting an
almost dartlike penetration. I am,
of course, referring to the type of
dart which is tipped with a rubber
suction cup.
Sayeth the oracle, ". .
has been repudiated. . ."
If I may momentarily digress,
just what is meant by "Goldwater-ism- "
here? Had the anonymous
writer used the term "Conservatism" then the statement would be
more intelligible, though no more
true. Is it implied thatGoldwater's
philosophy is not Conservatism,
but "Goldwaterism?" Can it be
that the writer, by renaming Conservatism, seeks to imply that:
(1) Goldwater equals Conservatism.
(2) Coldwater was defeated
Conservatism
(3) Therefore,
has been defeated.
If this is so, then nice trick, say
I. It might land you a gung-hjob
or maybe
on the
even Confidential.
About this "repudiation" of
Conservatism; two out of five voters
supported Coldwater. Not zero out
of five, as one would conclude from
the editorial's tone. To me, this is
an encouraging sign that the American people are not a unified monolith in support of the United States
of American becoming the United
Socialist States of America.
About the three in five who
voted for Johnson; I agree with the

racist crackpot whose election
would inevitably and instantly
plunge the world into a thermonuclear inferno and would even result
in uncomplimentary headlines and
editorials in foreign newspapers.
The tragedy is that it was Sen.
Goldwater who was the Republican
candidate and not this totally imaginary crackpot (who was a creation
of the propaganda factories of
LBJ, inc.).
On the night of Nov. 3, an individual, shocked by my three-incGoldwater button, made the following statements to me:
(1) "He's (Goldwater) against
Social Security."
(2) "He wants the power to use
atomic bombs without permission from Congress."
Now, both of these little gems
show a near-totconfusion as to
Sen. Goldwater's stand. (Moreover,
the second statement reveals such
an ignorance of the Constitution
which makes the President the
Commander-in-Chie- f
of the armed
forces that the person would probably make an excellent Supreme
Court Justice.) Indeed, virtually all
of Goldwater's positions were so
distorted (usually by implication,
rather than by outright statements)
by the opposition as to be unrecognizable.
I am, therefore, convinced that
the majority who voted against
Coldwater, taking Johnson as the
lesser of two evils, had a distorted,
fuzzy idea of the principles and
views of the senator. They went to
the polls under the delusion that a
vote against Sen. Goldwater was a

Black Plague. This muddleheaded-nes- s
does not surprise me. In fact,
I am prayerfully grateful that after
30 years of leftist brain washing,
two out of five voters still have
their wits about them.
Due to this widespread confusion, which obscured the real issues, and due also to the fact that
the Democratic candidate was not
a true Liberal (calling LBJ a Liberal is like making a statement about
the color of a chameleon), Liberalism and Conservatism have still
not had their long awaited trial in

that we Conservatives are going to
fold our copies of National Review
and silently steal away is wishful
thinking on the part of the Liberals.
(Indeed, wishful thinking is about
all that a Liberal is good for.) From
now to 1968 is four years, not forever and a day.
If I may summarize, the battle
was between 1964 and 1984; 1984
won this round.

inevitable candidate of the Republican Party.
If Gov. Scranton, or Gov.
Rockefeller, or Gov. Romney had
wrested the nomination at that
point, Goldwater Republicans
would have deserted the GOP in
droves even greater than those
that deserted the party in protest against Sen. Goldwater's
nomination. (It is hardly an insignificant achievement that Mr.
Goldwater got 25,000,000 Americans to vote for him.) The Republican Party, in short, was
stuck in 1964 with the crystallization of the deep split within
its ranks.

supported him.
Only in the areas of the old
cotton and sugarcane South,
where much of the archaic plantation culture and prejudices still
have deep roots, was there sullen

Supreme Court and to restore the
old concept of states' rights. Georgia provided the one surprise. The
south areas of Savannah, Augusta, and Columbus, which had
gone Republican for Eisenhower
and Nixon, repeated. Hut rural
