ability to reason and on the use of evidence," Dr.
Blyton said. "They have to use evidence in particular much the same way a lawyer uses it to
gain a conviction or acquittal."
Last week Dr. Blyton opened his 18th year
with UK debaters in the ninth annual Kentucky
Thoroughbred Debate. The tournament included
20 of the country's top debate teams and 80
debates.
Northwestern took first place, the University
of Richmond, Va., second, and Western Reserve
in Cleveland third.
UK did not finish as high as it has in recent
years, Dr. Blyton explained, because "we put
in some people mainly for the experience."
Prospects for this year's team, however, "look
very good," he added.
His optimism can be explained by an experienced team that last year won 30 trophies
in one of Dr. Blyton's most productive seasons.

Fayette County Judge Joe
Johnson said here Monday he
does not thing the proposed revision of the state constitution
will pass Nov. 8, "Jut added
that he personally favors the document.
Johnson, speaking to the law
school forum, said he especially
likes the proposed new charter's
county judge system.
The problems and duties of
a county judge, he said, are
becoming more complex since the
judge must be chief administrator
as well as a court officer.
Johnson, a Republican, said
he was optimistic about the revision's passage at first, but the
mood of the people in Eastern
Kentucky and elsewhere has
changed his mind.
It was announced that next
Monday's speaker will be the
Williams King, Louisville evangelist-civil
right leader and brother
of Martin Luther King.
Judge Johnsons, lacing his talk
with humor, also said:
1. A chief problem of Fayette County is that it tries to
run an urban government on a
rural tax rate.
2. He would favor consolidation of Lexington city government with the county's.
3. There is "no substance"
to rumors he would be a Republican candidate in the 1967
race for governor or lieutenant
governor.
4. The proposed new constitution does not give a Kentucky
governor any more power since
that he already has all the power
one man could possibly yield.

Asian Swing

Pre-Electi- on

From Combined DUpmtchea

Johnson embarked Monday on a 25,000-niil- e
swing through Asia that will take him to six nations and return
him to the United States less than a week before the
congressional
elections.
y
The
tour, his first major overseas journey since becoming
President, will be highlighted by his stay in the Phillipines where he
will meet with Premier Nygen Cao Ky of South Vietnam and the leader
of five countries making military contributions to the war.
The President will first fly to Honolulu for a speech and an overnight
stop. He will again land in American territory, in Pago Pago, Samoa,
for two hours, before reaching New Zealand on Wednesday. Mrs. Johnson
and many members of the White House staff will also make the trip.
five-cit- y
A one-da- y
visit in Wellington will be followed by a three-datour of Australia which will end next Sunday. The Australian visit
will be partly official, partly sentimental as the f6rmer Navy officer
retraces some of his steps during World War II.
Then on to Manila, where the President will be joined by Secretary
of State Dean Rusk, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, and other
senior officials for the seven-natio- n
conference on the war in Vietnam.
The purpose of the meeting, the White House has said, is to review
the military and political situation in Vietnam, and to compare policies
toward the war including ways to end it.
The meeting will provide the first opportunity since he Honolulu
conference last February for Johnson to discuss the conduct of the war
e
in a
session with Premier Ky.
The President is also expected to spend a good deal of time on side
trips as he has said, "I want to meet as many people of these countries
as possible, and see as much of their countryside and their cities as posWASHINGTON-Preside-

After the Manila conference, on Oct. 27, the Johnsons will fly to
Thailand to spend a day at a huge bomber base used for missions
into Vietnam and then will spend two days in Bangkok, the capital.
They will stop for a day in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, to
repay the visit of prime minister Prince Abdul Rahman, and spend

Songs of the girls from far

puffing after the long climb to
the top bunks, to sleep.
Early next morning, the dads
were greeted with coffee and

They checked out on time,
before 1 p.m., with threats of
those yellow slips still hanging

Two of the greatest stars of the Metropolitan Opera will be at
Memorial Coliseum Tuesday, in the opening concert of the Central
Kentucky Concert and Lecture Series.
The S: 13 conceit features Phvllis Cuitin, soprano, and Bichard
Tucker, tenor. Admission will be by membership card or I'K

Tucker opens the program with an aria from "Atalanta" by
Handel and "Cavallcria Busticaua" by Pictro Mascagni.
Miss Curtin continues in the classical vein with two arias
by Cioachinn Bossini, "La Begata Venciana" and "Adieux a la

ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH
Way back in 1953 I started writing this column about
campus life. Today, a full 13 years later, I am still writing
this column, for my interest in undergraduates is as keen
and lively as ever. This is called "arrested development!'
Rut where else can a writer find a subject as fascinating
as the American campus ? Where else are minds so nettled,
bodies so roiled, psyches so unglued?
Right now, for example, though the new school year has
just begun, you've already encountered the following dis-

asters:

have no place to study.
Friends, let us, without despair, examine your problems
one by one.
1. You hate your teachers. For shame, friends! Try
looking at things their way. Take your English teacher,
for instance. Here's a man who is one of the world's
authorities on Robert Browning, yet he wears $30 tweeds
and a pre-wnecktie while his brother Sam, a high school
dropout, earns 70 thou a year in aluminum siding. Is it so
hard to understand why he writes "F" on top of your
themes and "Eeeyich !" in the margin? Instead of hating
him, should you not admire his dedication to scholarship,
his disdain for the blandishments of Commerce? Of course
you should. You may flunk, but Pippa passes.
2. You hate your courses. You say, for example, that
you don't see the use of studying Macbeth when you are
majoring in veterinary medicine. You're wrong, friends.
Believe me, some day when you are running a busy kennel,
you'll be mighty glad you learned "Out, damned Spot !"
3. You hate your
This is, unquestionably,
a big problem in fact, the second biggest problem on
American campuses. (The first biggest, of course, is on
which side of your mortar board do you dangle the tassel
at Commencement?) Cut there is an answer to the roommate problem: keep changing
The optimum
interval, I have found, is every four hours.
4. You have no time to study. Friends, I'm glad to report there is a simple way to find extra time in your busy
schedule. All you have to do is buy some Personna Super
Stainless Steel Blades. Then you won't be wasting precious hours hacking away with inferior blades, mangling
your face again and again in a tedious, feckless effort to
winnow your whiskers. Personna shaves you quickly and
slickly, easily and breezily, hacklessly, scrapelessly,
nicklessly, scratchlessly, matchlessly. Furthermore,
Personna Blades last and last. Moreover, they are available both in double-edg- e
and Injector style. And, as if this
weren't enough, Personna is now offering you a chance to
grab a fistful of $100 bills. The Personna Super Stainless
Steel Sweepstakes is off and running! You can win $10,000
and even more. Get over to your Personna dealer for details and an entry blank. Don't just stand there!
5. You have no place to study. This is a thorny one, I'll
admit, what with the library so jammed and the dorms so
noisy. But with a little ingenuity, you can still find a quiet,
deserted spot like the ticket office of the lacrosse team.
Or a testimonial dinner for the Jean. Or the nearest rear

* "It Says Here Congress Is Anxious To Gel Out Of Town"

Time For Revision
Kentucky's youth have more
to lose or gain than any other
group of citizens in the Commonwealth when the proposed new
constitution is submitted to the
voters in the November general
election. Already, two generations
of Kentuckians have been plagued
by the unnecessary restrictions in
the present constitution, adopted
in 1891.
Few can deny that the present
constitution has hampered all units
of state government as well as
individual citizens in their efforts

w

to cultivate the true resources of
the state. The significant progress
which has been achieved in such
areas as economic and social institutions, education, science and
technology has resulted in spite
of rather than due to the present
outmoded constitution.
The new charter is a concise
document outlining government's
fundamental rules. The lengthy,
statutory provisions in the present
constitution are eliminated, giving
all units of state government the
freedom and power to meet the
modern-da- y
needs of both the state
and its citizens.
Under the new charter, the legislature will be vastly improved
and upgraded, and local governmental units will have more power
and responsibility under the home

rule provisions than ever before.
The document also provides for a
modern judicial system. However,'
in spite of the increase in governmental power, all of the people's
basic liberties in the present constitution are retained in the revision's Bill of Rights.
Therefore, not only do young
Kentuckians want the new constitution, but, more to the point,
they as well as senior and future
Kentuckians need this newly-revise- d

document.

Letters To The Editor

Voting Encouraged

Concern On Calendar
The University Senate's action
last week retaining the present
academic calendar until further
studies are made demonstrates a
sincere concern both for the rights
of student opinion and for faculty
needs.
By retaining the present calendar for one year, the Senate is

giving adequate time to the Office
for Institutional Studies to thoroughly investigate both the credits
and debits of an academic schedule
which ends before the Christmas
holdiay.
Certainly there are serious questions to be answered on both sides
of the issue: do
exams leave too short a period for
grading, or does being
with other universities overly complicate professional academic meetings, securing visiting
professors, and student transfers?
At the same time, a prime consideration for the study group is
whether those two weeks following the Christmas holidays in the
"traditional" calendar are lost to
readjusting to the academic tempo
and review prior to final testing.
Nor to be forgotten are the findings
of a Senate committee indicating
faculty and student preference for
the present calendar.
Decisive action is needed on
the calendar issue, but more important is the need for an informed
Faculty Senate. The choice of an
academic calendar, though admittedly a matter of mechanics, is
something which should not be
left to haphazard personal preferences and quickly passed over
vote every two
in a
years.
Furthermore, the Senate's re
as

"out-of-phas-

te

e"

To the Editor of the Kernel:
As Dr. Jewell points out in

fusal to exempt the Law School

the University-wid- e
calendar
shows what we can only hope is
a real care for the problems and
opinions of the student. Statistics
quoted both by Student Bar Asfrom

sociation President Mitch McCon-nel- l
and History Chairman Carl
Cone showed student feeling unquestionably opposed to a system
which would put final examinations after Christmas. And that
sort of system is precisely what
Law associate professor Garrett
Flickenger was boosting. The possibility of beginning the law term
earlier than the rest of the University, mentioned by Dr. Cone
as acceptable to a high percentage
of the law students, seems to hold
merits as a partial solution for
both parties' interests.
But thejthing which seems most
evident overall is a desire to hear
all sides of the question coupled
with a second desire to arrive
at a sound conclusion before the
University's second century has
come and gone.

his Letter to the Editor of Oct.
7, the students can provide the
margin of victory for approval of
the revised Constitution.
In order to do this everyone
must send his application for absentee ballot by mail so that it
will reach his county clerk no
later than Oct. 20 and encourage
others to do likewise. In addition
there is much work that has to
be performed if this revised Constitution is to be approved.
I would like to encourage every
student to take an active part in
seeing this document is accepted.

Responsibility, Too
After listening to Mr. Brad

upon his successful accomplishment of his stated "objective"
"to irritate some people."
