Beard Sees Breathitt
On Tour Of Campus
By HENRY ROSENTHAL

Kernel Sports Editor
Butch Beard, the number one
high school basketball player in
the state, Wednesday became the
first Negro to visit the University
on invitation from the Department of Athletics.
Beard and Alvin Ratliff,
basketball player from Meade
Memorial, toured the University,
and met with Gov. Edward
T. Breathitt and former Gov.
Lawrence Weatherby, who attended football practice at the
Sports Center.
Gov. Breathitt told Beard and
Ratliff, "This is a fine school.
I am the governor of the state
and I am very interested in it.
I graduated from here and it is

SC Candidancy

team for the presidency and
with the announcement of a
vice presidency of Student Congress.
The twot Winston Miller and John O'Brien, announced their
candidancy for the April 27th election.
Officially, the election is for president and vice president of the
student body. This presupposes that the reorganization plan for
Student Congress will be accepted. In actuality, the offices would
be that of president and vice president of the congress.
Pledging to make the student governing body a "more active
and representative body," the pair said they felt the "needs of the
campus" make it necessary for the student government to assume
responsibilities of "coordination, debate, decision, and administration" in order to facilitate student programming.
The team announced a three-poiplatform:
1. To meet the needs of the campus;
2. To utilize the many intellectual resources which have been
disgracefully dormant in the past;
3. To serve the extra curricular preferences of the student body
with utmost efficiency.
Miller and O'Brien said they would be willing to discuss their
platform before any campus group.
Miller, a sophomore business administration major from Mt.
Sterling, is currently a Student Congress representative and is a
member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. He is also IFC rush
chairman.
O'Brien is a junior political science major from Lexington. He
is also a representative to Student Congress, is a member of Delta
of the YMCA. He

state university.
"We have been losing too
many of our fine athletes to
schools. I don't recruit
for one school or another in the
state, but when you get to one
level this is it. This is the top."
Former Gov. Weatherby congratulated Beard and Ratliff on
the fine seasons they had in high
school this year.
Beard said that he had not
decided on the school where he
would play his collegiate basket-- ,
ball. According to Beard he has
narrowed the field to five
schools UK, Western, Louisville, Murray, and one
school, Evansville.
Ratliff, who played at Meade
Memorial High School, said that
he would make trips to three
schools. Two of them have now
been completed. In addition to
visiting UK, Ratliff has been to
Morehead and plans to go to
Eastern Monday.
Both Beard and Ratliff were
accompanied on the tour by their
high school coaches. Along with
Beard was Don Morris who built
this year's state tournament team
around his 6' 3" star.

Author Max Lerner spoke at the first session of the second departmental Centennial conferences this morning in Guignol Theater.
With Mr. Lerner (who is on the left) is President Oswald.

Lerner Outlines Mood
Of American Culture
Outlining six major revolutions in American life, author,
lecturer and journalist Max Lerner delivered the major address at the opening session of the Centennial Social Sciences
Conference today.
An audience which overflowed
into the aisles of Guignol Theatre rose following the speech to
give Lerner a standing ovation.
The first of the revolutionary
developments discussed by Lerner was that in the field of weapons technology. He said this
technological growth is part of a
"

general upheaval in man's technological progress.
"We have moved from a problem of power scarcity to one of
power surplus," he said.
The second revlution is that
of access. Lerner said, "You can
describe America in one
word-acce- ss."

Explaining this, Lerner said
that there must be equal access
to equal opportunity.
He noted that this revolution
in access has not insulated human
beings from tragedy, and that
the tragedy of life is a fact that
each person must learn to cope
with.
Yet another revolutionary aspect is that which Lerner called,
"uprooting." He said that we are
uprooted from society as a whole,
from society's traditional forms,
from religion, family, etc.
This revolution, according to
Lerner, results in the inability
to develop the whole person.
Related to this was the revolution in values, in which Americans are challenging basic assumptions.
The final two revolutions mentioned by Lerner were the revolutions in time and in cultural
and intellectual affairs.
Explaining what is meant by
the term "revolution," Lerner
said, "In the deejest sense of
the term "revolution" the American society into which we are
infmoving computer-guarded- ,

An optimistic note was sounded when Lerner said there are
'things happening in American
society which bring within our
reach a chance to build." He
listed the knowledge and education explosions, the paperback

explosion, the reading revolution, the cultural explosion, and
the communications explosion.
The time revolution was called the greatest a movement
made possible by automation.
This will enable the American
society to move from the leisure
class orientation of the past to
an orientation toward a leisure
society. Leisure will be available
not only for the few but also for
the many.
Lerner emphasized that this
will cause a reemphasis on the
role of parks, playgrounds and
recreation. He said, "There is a
scarcity of accessible space today
for these purposes."
He challenged Americans to
fill this leisure time not with
unfilling pursuits, but rather to
put space and time to use for
all the people.
Lerner's speech was discussed
.
by panelists Prof. Seymour
Director of the Institute of
International Studies at the University of California, and Dr. C
Herman Pritchctt, a member of
the University of Chicago department of political science.
Also on stage was University
President John W. Oswald, who
introduced Lerner and welcomed
the conference guests.
Prof. Lipset delivered an address at the afternoon session entitled, "North American Values
in Comparative Perspective: "A
Detailed Look at Canada and the
United States."
