DEAN DORIS SEWARD

The first call, Miss Wadsworth said, was made before she
was questioned in the dean's
office.
"They (the dean's office)
made vague allusions to how I
she said,
was cohabiting,"
"which I was not; how I was in
serious trouble with the University, and about my academic
career."

The second call, according
to Miss Wadsworth, was placed
following her appearance in the

dean's office.
"They (the dean's office) told
my mother about the cohabiting," Miss Wadsworth said,

"that I dressed obscenely, and

that my roommate was pregnant,
which she was not."
As a result of the two calls,
Miss Wadsworth claims she has
been disowned by her family
and cut off financially.
Because of previous experiences which the coed would not
discuss, she sought legal advice
from two American Civil Liberties Union members, who are
both attorneys, prior to her meeting with Dean Seward.
"They told me the dean's
office could not compel me to
answer any questions," Miss
Wadsworth said, "and it was,
in their opinion, not the concern of those offices (dean's) to
conduct an investigation of narcotics.
"They could see the basis,
but not the justification of an
investigation," she said, "because the Treasury Department
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were already investigating."

Miss Wadsworth, 416 Rose
Lane, said she has no telephone
and therefore was initially contacted by the Dean of Women's
Office through a close friend.
"They had told my friend
they wanted to see me," Miss
Wadsworth said. "When I called
to see why, they would not tell

me."

Kentucky's first woman Commissioner of Commerce Katherine
Peden told a group of University honor students Tuesday night
that "woman power" is a major production potential for the future.

Commissioner Peden Stresses 'Woman Power'
By NANCY BROCK MAN

Kernel Staff Writer
There will be a great need
In management, government, and
the academic field for women's
abilities if their abilities are properly developed, Kentucky's first
woman Commissioner of Commerce said last night.
Miss Katherine Feden told
'honor students attending
annual Women's Residence Hall scholarship dinner,
"Woman power is one of the
nation's major production potentials for the future."

She said that this power women hold in their hands must be
adequately developed intellectually for there will be a great
need for this power.
"You as honor students at the
Women's Residence Hall banquet are due congratulations on
your attainments," she said.
"This is conclusive evidence that
you arc willing to pay the price
to develop your abilities to their
fullest, and it is your destiny to
be among the leaders of tomorrow
if you continue along this path."

Ricci Art Has Largest Opening

By KAREN DOYER

Carolina Museum of Art. Some

An exhibition of
paintings by
17th and 18th
century Italian
artists, Scbastiano and Marco
Hicci, opened Sunday at the Fine
Arts Gallery, in what
proved to
he the largest opening ever held

of the pieces were flown to Kentucky from Europe.
One glance at the immense
paintings, and the strong influence from ancient mythology
in the art work is immediately
apparent. The relaxed, wandering, airy effect, combined with
contrast of the
the dark-brigpaintings are just a few of the
qualities which cause spectators
to view the Riccis' works with
awe.
The works of Scbastiano Ricci
arc strongly influenced by Rococo
style, but his figural compositions show a style all their own.
Marco Ricci concentrated
most of his artistic efforts on
landscapes, which were originally painted on goat skins, with
tempera paint. But in the early
18th century, Marco went to
Rome where he was impressed
by the ruins. The influence of
these ruins can be found in his
paintings from that time on.
Scbastiano and Marco collaborated on many of their paintings, with Marco doing the landscapes, and Sebastiano painting
the figural elements.
The opening was attended
by Dr. Antonio Ciarropico, Ital

intheCallery.

The exhibit is under the patronage of Signor Sergio Fenoal-tea- ,
Italian Ambassador to Washington.
The
show is composed of paintings, drawings,
and sketches of this uncle and
nephew team, and is a true
representation of the colorful
beauty of late Baroque and
Rococo style.
Michael Milkovich, UK visiting instructor in art, assembled
the exhibit while he was curator
of the Brooks Memorial Art Gallery in Memphis, Tenn. This is
the first joint show of these two
artists ever held.
Contributions of the Riccis'
works in the exhibit were donated by 25 lenders, including
the Metropolitan Museum, the

Memorial Gallery, and the North

gathered for the opening Dr.
Ciarropico commended UK's interest in this art. Dr. Ciarropico
feels that art is "the most important fact in bringing people

together."

Dr. Ciarropico said he was
pleased that Marco and Sebastiano Ricci have not passed notice,
and that they will be remembered
far beyond the borders of Italy.
Mr. Thomas Colt, of the Dayton Art Institute, and Mr. Robert

Flint Billing
Fits Coburn
By STEVEN LAZAR

Kernel Staff Writer
Living up to a movie billing
is sometimes hard for an actor.
Not so for James Coburn. He's
just what the movie advertisements say hotter than a pistol.
Starring in "Our Man Flint,"
now playing at the Ashland Theater, Coburn plays a super-secragent who sports a lighter which
can perform 82 individual task
(actually 83 if you want to light
a cigar).
Lee J. Cobb, Gila
Golan, and Edward Mulhare, the
movie plot revolves around preventing the enemy, an organization called GALAXY, from
taking over the world with a
machine which controls the
weather.
The good guys (represented
by ZOWIE) are having trouble
finding an agent who can handle
the assignment, so they hire a
reluctant Colburn who, by a
consensus of computers, is the
only person capable of the job.
In the movie, Colburn plays
the kind of spy who can do anything, including getting into
fights, making love, and diving
off a 100-foledge without even
getting his hair mussed.
Filmed in color, the movie
provides the viewer with some
spectacular settings, lush withe
natural vegetation and nearly-nudgirls -- who seem to take
no toll on the hero.

Closed-Doo-

While some college administrators are predicting greater "awareness" among students and an increased concern with teaching
among faculty members in Amere
ican colleges, i one
president is sounding a different
alarm.
Dr. Edward D. Eddy, president of Chatham College, in an
article in Tuesday's Kernel pointed
scholar" and
to the "closed-doo- r
the "unbugged student" as the
typical on most campuses today.
Dr. Eddy indicated that the
symbol of success for a faculty
member was a closed door to students, indicating he was a productive scholar, while the secure,
tenured professor who turns more
attention to teaching is viewed as
a "pitiful sight" by his collegues.
Likewise, Dr. Eddy says, the
vast majority of today's students
are not the "activists" but are
"untouched" by many of the great
causes of the time.
Such
shrewd observations
punch holes in the pipe dreams of
some educators who see the modern
university evolving into an open
community of students and faculty
small-colleg-

members engaged in a continual
.and meaningful interchange of
ideas.
It is somehow incongruous that
while university administiators
proclaim the growing need for increased awareness, they are also
working, in many cases, to widen
the gap between the students and
the faculty members.
Faculty members need not be
especially wise to realize that the
gravy goes to the man who cranks
out the most publications rather
than to the instructors who emphasize as foremost communication with the students.
The students certainly are not
blameless for this situation. The
vast majority prefer to be lectured
to, tested en masse, and buried
in with their fellow "numbers"
in unconcerned anonimity. Few
care enough to actively seek their
rightful share of an instructor's
time. Few care enough to seek
beyond the rudimentary essentials
of the course to the awareness of
the pressing issues of the day which
could form the basis of a meaningful interchange.
Dr. Eddy sees some change in
a reactivation and refocusing of
functions of student organizations,
which seek to provide this link
between the student and the outer
world.
We are afraid, however, that
the University is not among those
mature schools which have led
the movement in this direction.

New Direction For The UN
For the better part of a week
Honolulu drew the spotlight away
from the current United Nations
peace efforts. This may have been
inevitable under the circumstances.
But it is now time to refocus on
s
the quiet,
explorations going on in the Security.
Council.
These explorations are, in effect,
all that remain of the worldwide
peace drive which took place during
the five weeks following Christmas.
Yet, because they represent so
broad a spectrum of world opinion
and world influence, these Council
efforts must receive the support
and encouragement of all sincere
seekers for peace. For, if they fail,
it is not easy to see whence the
next major peace effort can come.
It was a wise move to entrust
the search for a United Nations
peace formula primarily to the
Asian and African members of the
Council. They may well have a
feel for the nuances of the situation which escape North American
and European thoi ght. If, at this
stage, any group c n come up
with a formula which is likely to
be acceptable to all parties, it is
n
bloc in the Security
the
Council.
It is to America's vital interest
to do all in its power to encourage
these Council members in their
search. Many throughout the world
(a) are still suspicious that Washington, appealed to the Council
to cover up its renewed bombing

-

Scholar

r

of North Vietnam, and (b) believe
that the Honolulu meeting undercut the Council's efforts. These
suspicions make it doubly necessary for Washington to demon
strate its sincerity through unequivocal support of the Council's
exertions.
Although supporting a reasoned
and measured prosecution of the
war in Vietnam, this newspaper
has repeatedly voiced its conviction
that the final step toward peace
must be for all interested sides
(including the Viet Coiig) to sit
down around a negotiating table.
We have also asked the question:
If eventually, why not now?
Perhaps the major hurdle is
to convince each interested party
that it may have to. make concessions. So long as any side believes that it can achieve the totality of its aims, peace talks cannot begin. The most important
preliminary achievement of the Security Council would be to create
an atmosphere in which each contestant would recognize that some
concessions will be necessary.
Perhaps the two key concessions needed are for Saigon to agree
that it will sit down and talk
with the Viet Cong and for Hanoi
to retract its demand that the
Viet Cong must automatically be
granted effective power throughout South Vietnam. With such
concessions, peace talks become
a livelier possibility.

Basic Policy Differences
Follow King's Conference
CHICACO-- A

behind-the-scen-

dispute over basic policy
has

followed

Dr.

Martin

Luther King's Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLC)

north to Chicago.
Just as they were in the Deep
South, the battle lines are indistinct, shrouded from public
view. Nevertheless, the dispute
has a significance transcending
internal problems of the SCLC.
It boils down to this: shall the
civil rights movement cooperate
with the political power structure
or wage unremitting war on it?
Inside the SCLC, the hard,
war line is taken by the Rev.
James Bevel, King's militant,
mystical, and often unmanageable
lieutenant. In
young
Alabama, the hard line meant
demonstrations, not negotiations.
In Chicago, the Bevel approach
is more sophisticated: a grass
roots political assault on Mayor
Richard J. Daley's potent Democratic machine.
But Bevels independent ways
cause basic complications here
because SCLC is in Chicago as
an invited guest, not master of
the civil rights field, as it was
in Alabama. Established civil
rights leaders here most certainly
do not approve of Bevel's political
activities against the Daley
machine.
Indeed, the decision for King
to assume personal command,

here was partly in reaction to
Bevel. King's most influential
advisers
( including
Bayard
Rustin) had all but convinced
him to stay in the South, where
he knows the situation best. He
changed his mind when Chicago
Negro leaders protested privately
that Bevel was going along his
merry way without consulting
them.
Yet, King's presence here has
not noticeably deflected Bevel.
Bevel is still on collision course
against the Dafey machine. For
instance, Bevel is now advocating
election of precinct captains here
(as in the rest of Illinois), a
move that would weaken the
monolithic nature of the Daley
organization. Daley now controls
their appointment.
More important are unpub-licizc- d
voter education sessions
inside the West Side Negro
ghetto participated in by Bevel
and other SCLC staffers. Much
to the consternation of the Daley
machine, these sessions instruct
Negroes on the art
of
low-inco-

ticket-splittin-

g.

This does not mean Jim Bevel
has become a Republican. Rather,
Bevel and other civil rights
leaders hope to turn to their
own ends the strange Illinois
voting system that guarantees
Republicans one legislative seat

in

three-sea-

t

districts. Assuming

it is impossible to win a Demo-

cratic primary, they are hoping
to win the Republican nomination in one or two West Side
districts.
The focal point of King's overall attack on "slumism" the
Negro slum and its social byhas not yet been
products
determined. Nor have the weapons to be used. However, King
has ruled out a fight to the
death with the Daley machine.
To the contraVy, King last week
held a lengthy and amiable conference with Daley's Chief of
Police. Thus, King and Bevel arc
on different wave lengths.
Bevel has one great advantage
over his leader. King is so extended he cannot devote full time
to Chicago. He and top SCLC
officials plan three days a week
here for not much longer than
a year. In contrast, Bevel is here
fulltime and indefinitely.

Besides, Bevel is building
alliances here with the state
wing of the Americans for Democratic Action; with the West Side
Christian Parish, a militant
church group; with West Side
community groups. Thus, the
muffled policy clash set in motion
by differences between King and
Bevel is likely to continue in
Chicago long after King is gone.
