One class which she has been teaching this semester is a seminar
which involves research in librarianship.
Each student chooses a field in librarianship which needs further
Investigation. The subject may be concrete or hbstmct. One unknown
area is the study of the character of the reader to determine what
he reads and why.
One field still in the developing stages Is information retrieval.
Dr. Fair says the vast amounts of information which the press
and research scholars are producing make it impossible for the average person to know what Is happening.
Now computing machines have been developed to assemble this
knowledge from all over the world so that It can be found more easily.
Since libraries will make use of these computers, it is necessary
to understand how they operate. Dr. Fair said.
First a code tor all topics of information has been developed.
Each subject has a particular number. The known sources of Information on this topic from all over the world have also been coded

He told about It at his historic

He did so even though his ride

it was appropriate to look it over."
Then, he was inside his capsule

and had to wait for about four
hours before it blasted off.
He granted that there was apprehension before and during the
flight. However, "X think that we
went into this thing with our eyes
open . . ."
What were his thoughts during
ignition and liftoff of the huge
missile?
"Quite frankly," he said, "there
were so many technical things on
my mind at that point that I
didn't assess any of my feelings.
"We Just didn't know how well
we (the rocket and the man
would react," he said. "Fortunately
we found we reacted very well."
If the flight had gone off as
scheduled at 7 a.m. (EST) instead
of more than 24 hours later, he
certainly would have seen the
moon. As it was, the moon already
had set with respect to his farthest-out
point of 115 miles altitude.
However, on the earth he left
behind him as seen through his
a
periscope there unfolded
breath-taking
sight.
He couia see at any one time
land and sea areas stretching 800
miles long.
"I had been pretty well briefed,"
he related, "on the land masses as
they should appear and the cloud
cover as it should have appeared
but. I must admit it (the view) sort
of took my breath away. It was a
beautiful view.
"I was able to see very clearly,
of course, the Florida Peninsula,
Lake Okeechobee, Andrus Island.
I was able to identify the Bahamas."
Speaking of his

weightless state: "It is quite a
pleasant sensation," he reported.
"Particularly so after the accelerations of the booster ride."
He found no difficulty in maneuvering the capsule and doing
various other Jobs while in this
state.
There was one moment of uncertainty, due to temporary failure of a signal to light signifying
the rockets had fired. But almost
simultaneously there was other
evidence they had and then the
light flashed on, too.
In the
transition from
weightlessness to the heaviest of
gravity forces experienced during
the
phase Shepurd said
there was really no sweat. At near
the maximum "O" of about 11
times the force of gravity, Shep-ard- 's
voice as heard over the
radio was somewhat strained as
his body fought forces 11 times Us
weight.
But otherwise there was nothing
eventful.
"I was really quite pleased with
the smoothness of it all," he said.
In fact, he said, the worst physical
stress he suffered as regards the
whole flight, was feeling pretty
warm after it was all over.
And that was his own fault, he
grinned.
He didn't get out of his space
suit fast enough after being retrieved from the capsule.

Still Plague Some Coeds
By JUNE GRAY
The Age of Enlightenment may
be upon us, but childhood superstitions are dying a slow death
in college.
A large number of women on
this campus, even though they
have been taught differently, are
still quite superstitious.
One of the most prevalent superstitions is the refusal of two people
to walk around opposite sides of
a telephone pole or a tree. To
walk up or down steps on different
sides of the handrail is also taboo.
One student may walk behind
the steps they walk up. Some of
thesteps they walk up. Some of
them who are not superstitious
will walk up the other side to
watch her reaction.
She stands at the bottom and
calls the traitor's name In a horrified voice. Because of the stricken look on her face, the traitor
usually retraces her steps and
walks up the other side. She will
not listen to the arguments of her
nonsuperstitious friends.
She argues that it Is bad luck
even though she has no proof thot
anyone has ever had bad luck for
walking up opposite sides.
Another coed was downtown
shopping recently and refused to
walk under a ladder that was on
the sidewalk. Realizing how ridiculous the situation was, she
waited until others came along
who walked around the ladder; she
then walked around it too.
Only last week, a coed who Is a
Junior and was on the Dean's list
last semester, asked her roommate

if she was certain the sun !rad

Her puzzled roomma-'- ' answered
yes, and asked why she wtntcd to

The girl answered that she had
a blister on her heel, and It was
bad luck to burst it before the sun
went down.
"But blisters should not be burst
anytime," protested her roommate.
"If you want to remove the water
in it, open the blister from the
side with a sterilized needle."
But the girl replied, "Oh no. It
will heal quickly if I burst it now."
And she did.
What is the reason that these
beliefs are still adhered to even
after it has been learned that
there is no evidence to support
them?
One of the most probable conclusions Is childhood training.
When they were small, their parents or their grandparents taught
-j
them not to do certain things because it would bring bad luck.

Lies On Celluloid
Lexingtonians and University students who attended one of the weekend showings of "Operation Abolition," the
documentary account of student demonstrations
Activiagainst House
ties Committee hearings in San Franof last year, got a
cisco May
slanted view of the committee's work and opposition to the
HUAC.
The film was introduced at two
Friday showings by John Root,
Northern Kentucky civil defense director and, by his own admission, no
expert on communism. At both presentations Root declined to discuss
the film, citing his lack of knowledge
of communism as the reason.
12-1- 4

one-side-

Root did state unequivocably before a Friday afternoon presentation
for the Lexington Police Department
that the film accurately showed the
demonstrations and San Francisco
police action that led to the arrests
of 63 students and that the film was
edited "only to prevent repetition."
He changed his story at the Newman Club viewing Friday evening,
saying that as far as he knew the film,
had been edited only to prevent repetition and cited the Justice Department as his source in attesting to
the film's veracity.
Root may have been right, but we
doubt it. There is too much evidence
fontroverting his statements. Rep.
Francis Walter, chairman of the Unr
American Activities Committee, has
admitted that there was a change
in the sequence of the film that made
an appearance at the San Francisco
City Hall by accused Communist

Harry Bridges seem to be before the
demonstrations when it actually took
place the day after. Crowd noises
were dubbed into the soundtrack although no demonstrators were seen
and the narrator implied that Bridges
was a leader of the demonstration.
A more damning indictment of the
film came last August when William
Wheeler, chief West Coast investiActivities
gator for the
Committee, admitted an a Los Angeles television show that "Operation
Abolition" does present inaccuracies
and distortions.
Another of the many inaccuracies
stated in the film is its version of
the incident that touched off police
action and violence. The narrator
states that the police sprang into action when Robert J. Meisenbach, a
Stanford University student, jumped
over a police barricade, grabbed a
policeman's club, and began beating
the officer with it. Just last week a
San Francisco jury ruled that there
was no evidence of any such act and
acquitted Meisenbach.
It is unfortunate that a committee
of the United States Congress should
. allow, such a film to be released with
its approval and under its supervision.
It is also unfortunate that such a
film must be presented by someone
who is not prepared to discuss either
it or the circumstances which prompted its production.
We are fortunate, however, to live
in a country where such fraud need
not go unchallenged. We hope it remains that way, in spite of the efforts
of those radicals on both the left and
right who would drown freedom in a
sea of lies and half truths.

To The Editor:
Tonight (May 3) at 15 minutes
past 11 o'clock I tried unsuccessfully
to call an outside telephone number
from a University extension. I considered this call rather important;
otherwise, I would not have tried to
place it. I was very impolitely informed by a very uncourteous University operator that the dorm phones
could not be used after 11 o'clock.
The fact that this was not a routine
call, not to a dorm, and could not
have possibly been made earlier was
not even considered.
Students expect telephone service
to be included in room and board
payments. Does it not seem logical
to assume that this phone service
will be available at all times?
Maybe some obscure reason does
exist for this
policy.
In any case, I definitely think that
this University could greatly improve
relations with all concerned by endeavoring to employ only polite and
well mannered operators.

Put Man In Charge
To The Editor:
In addition to the editorial,
"Marry Now?," of the May 2 issue
of the Kernel, the following will serve
as elaborational tangent on the aforementioned editorial.
The idolization of women is proving a prime factor in the destruction of our domestic life. In the
United States today, because man
has idolized or, so to speak, put
woman on a pedestal, he has in his
own action taken a second place in
the home. This is brought about by
a deflation in his ego as opposed to
a boost in the ego of woman attributed to man's sham worship. Also, the
morals of mankind are decaying because of an emphasis on our carnal
mode of society.
Man, being now in a second-placposition in the home, has lost all
respect as "breadwinner." Divorces,
e

within a vast group of a complacent,
degenerate society as we have today in the United States.
Compare our homclife with Russia's, wherein the man is respected
as the head of the household and primary source of income. In the Russian family the children are a close-kn- it
group and education is their
main goal.
But in the majority of our homes
the man possesses an inferior position, as has been mentioned, and the
American youth are more interested
in going steady or marriage as their
primary aims.
Marriage is a fine institution, but
it can enly be satisfactory after man
has given his best to civilization.
The backbone of tlx? nation is
dependent of future generations. Will
these generations be sterile and immobile? Or through the rejuvenation
of our family social status can man
add his share to the betterment of
society?

Will Peace Corps Increase Cold War Tension?

By DAROLD POWERS
Will America's Peace Corps intensify conflict between the Western
and Communist blocs or will it
strengthen the world's chance for
peace?
The answer is not easy, despite
the program's name and the aims
it implies.
nations want
Underdeveloped
politics kept out of the Peace Corps,
and no one in Washington will come
out and advocate making it an instrument of our cold war foreign
pul icy.

However, President Kennedy in
his March 1 message to Congress explained, in reference to the underdeveloped nations: "Our own freedom, and the future of freedom
around the world, depend,
on
their ability to build growing and
independent nations where men can
live in dignity, liberated from the
bonds of hunger, ignorance, and poverty."
Disenchanted by the cold war and
eager to work for peace, young Americans responded by the thousands to
this appeal against the ills of mankind.
But in the dialectics of the cold
war, Kennedy's work were also seen
both at home aud abroad as a call

...

for another front and another weapon against communism.
At the March 21 hearing before
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the nomination of Sargent
Shriver to direct the Peace Corps, he
and Chairman J. W. Fulbright noted
a Russian official had denounced the
Peace Corps as a "crafty plot" to put
spies into underdeveloped nations.
Fulbright: "Which would indicate that you are on the right track,
and that this is a good idea, would
it not?" (Laughter).
Shriver: "This is some evidence,
although we would not want to undertake it for that reason."
Fulbright: "No, I know, but it is
reassuring in that it might indicate
this idea has real merit to it and can
be very successful if properly administered."
The young men and women who
were then flooding Shriver's office
with letters of application had, ever
since the corps was first proposed,
resented the possibility that their
work might have political implications. "Keep politics out of it!" was the
gist of a resolution passed at the
March
National Conference on
Youth Service Abroad in Washington.
It is true that Kennedy's message to Congress had also said,. "It
29-3- 1

is important, however, that the Peace

Corps be advanced not as an arm of
the cold war but as a contribution
to the world community. . . . The
Peace Corps is not a diplomatic or
propaganda venture but a genuine
experiment in international partnership."
But columnist Drew Pearson
would shortly attribute origin of the
Peace Corps to Moscow, via Milton
J. Shapp, president of the Jerrold
Electronics Corp. in Philadelphia.
And this is how Shapp explained the
need for a Peace Corps in an address to students at Pennsylvania State
University on March 9:
"If we are to have any success
in stemming the advance of communism throughout the world, we
too must oiler a positive program to
aid the development of people in
the have-no- t
nations."
Pearson credited Shapp with selling Robert Kennedy on the Peace
Corps idea last fall. Visiting Russia
in 1939, Shap;" had found that many
thousands tf Soviet youths were training for technical assistance work in
other countries
learning the language, culture, history, and religion
of the country to which they would
go.

"It is this group," Shapp said,

"upon whom the Soviet is relying to
penetrate the minds of men and help
win the world for communism."
On the surface, though, the interest of both Russia and the United
St.i'es in furnishing technical assistance; to underdeveloped
nations is
equally peaceful and noiipolitical.
Compare these statements the first
by Shepilov in 1956, as quoted in
"Sovie t Leade rs & Mastery over Man"
by Hadley Cantrill; the second as
found in the preliminary report by
the Colorado State University Research Foundation on the feasibility
of the Peace Corps:
"In the struggle against social oppression and against colonialism, in
the struggle for peace and democracy, the great aspirations of all the
oppressed people, whether of the
Arab, Asian, and Latin countries, and
of all the woiking people, whether
Catholics or Protestants, Buddhists,
or Moslems, will find their fulfillment."
"The primary objective of the
Youth Corps is to assist in accelerating the process of economic anil social development in the less developed
areas of the world."
But the similarity in these phrases
masks a basic incompatability in aims.
vs. evolution.

of the sons and daughters of the
state who made the supreme sacrifice during the World War."
Patrick J. Hurley, then assistant secretary of war, gave the
principal address at the dedication.
