Nation Pays Tribute To 'Old Soldier - 's The following is an excerpt from General Douglas historic address before the cadets of the United States Military Academy on May 12, 19G2, in acceptance of the Sylvanus Thayer Award: ". . . the soldier above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. But always in our ears ring the ominous words of Plato, that wisest of all philosophers; 'Only the dead have seen the end of war.' "The shadows are lengthening for me. The twilight is here. My days of old have vanished tone and tint. They have gone glimmering through the dreams of things that were. Their memory is one of wondrous beauty, watered by tears and coaxed and caressed by the miles of yesterday. I listen vainly, but with thirsty ear, for the witching melody of faint bugles blowing reveille, of far drums beating the long roll. "In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield. But In the evening of my memory always I come back to West Point.

NEW YORK (AP) The d roar of distant guns paid homage yesterday to the memory of General of the Army Douglas MacAr-thu- r, echoing across two main scenes of his long life, the U.S. Military Academy and New York City, his last home. At both places, salutes were fired promptly at noon. Across the nation, on the high seas, and at all American installations around the world, f. flugs were lowered to They will remain so, by order of President Johnson, until after the funeral services for in Norfolk, Va., next Saturday. During the week of mourning, his body will luy iu repose in New York, the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, and in the Memorial Rotunda in Norfolk. He himself chose Norfolk as his last resting place because his mother, the former Mary Pick-ne- y Hardy, was born, reared and married there. MacArthur's body was brought to New York from Washington by motorcade Sunday night. He died in Walter Reed Hospital at the age of 84. Tomorrow, with 2,000 cadets lining the t! mile route, the general's body will be taken from the armory to Pennsylvania Railway Station for the rUrt of the trip to Washington. MacArthur's personal flag and the flag of the Seventh Regiment of the "Rainbow Division" will be carried in the procession. Behind an army caisson will come a riderless horse. Blanchard said Pfc. James P. Stimpson, of Munford, Tenn., will lead the horse. JStimpson performed the same duty in the funeral cortege for the late President Kennedy. Kennedy's body was the last to lie in state In the Capitol Rotunda, to which MacArthur's remains will be taken Wednesday. MacArthur's cortege will pass near a point where a bronza statute, showing American infantrymen in action, commemorates the men MacArthur led in World War I.

Oswald said that he is alarmed at the lack of financial support being given to the humanities in proportion to that of the sciences. "As a scientist," he said, "I certainly recognize the contributions of science to liberal education as well as the practical application of Its results to the national welfare. "But I also recognize the value of the humanities as liberating forces; I recognize the part the humanities play In the Ideological struggle of our day.

The following men will serve as judges: P. W. Whiteside, Professor of Law; Richard Vimont, Lexington attorney; and Elmer Purdom. Principal of Henry Clay Hiuh School. The public Is invited to attend the contest. the Patterson The president said he agrees with Howard Mumford Jones, who wrote In his book, "One Great Society," that "the disparity seems to be vastly disproportionate to enduring values and national needs It is not good for the humanities, for the social sciences, for science, or for the nation." Dr. Oswald said he also agrees with a suggestion made by Dr. Thomas B. Etroup, UK professor of English and chairman of the conference, that the group, rep19 learned societies, resenting should draft and publish a stateof Its belief about the ment place of humanities in Southern education. "Such a statement," he said, "would be of value to faculties and administrators as we reshape our curricula to meet the needs of our time and especially as we attempt to meet the needs of the emerging South not merely an economically secure South, but a South capable of making its to letters proper contributions and scholarship In the arts, litand religion." erature, philosophy, Also speaking at the conference was Dr. Joseph A.

Dr. Bryant said, "and euthanasia, of the unfit, and sterilization selective breeding of human bebecome reasonable and propings er practices. "If man has been created In the image of his creator, then the distincltve thing about man he said, adis his creativity," ding that a good literature prostudents to see fessor requires his themselves as "participants In the poetic process." "You and I," he told his audience, "should be able to grasp an even richer collection of Insights from the works of Shakehimspeare than Shakespeare self was able to. "If we cannot, the works of Shakespeare are for us and for our successors dead, and the world that stretches ahead of us new is indeed the frightening world that some of our better satirists have warned us of." Dr. J. W. Patterson, UK associate professor of speech, told the group that the art of rhetoric can be saved as a humane study. He said that teachers of rhetoric, or speech, which he de- - scribed as "a study of the whole process of relating our thoughts to others in order to Influence their behavior in some way," must do two things to avoid compromise. "First, we must hold to the concept of the true orator being a good man skilled in speaking, for the rhetorician is forever calling on us to make choices Involving values. He must, therefore, understand the relationship of his art to ethics and politics. "Secondly, we must not leave to the commercial-typ- e speech classes and the toastmasters clubs the Job of teaching people how to persuade others to adopt right attitudes and act in response to them. "The awful result will continue to be a nation ef citizens who cannot speak effectively, and even worse, a nation of citizens who do not speak ethically," he concluded. AT 1:30, f .OQ.

P, P and M $2.00 April 18 LKD Sponsored * 7TTTTRMAN ON CAMPUS State Politics And Education Governors and gubernatorial can- didatesDemocratic and Republican have avowed for 30 years to remove the University Board of Trustees from political influence. And for 30 years nothing has been done. Gov. Edward T. Breathitt approved in his campaign the plea of former President Frank G. Dickey that the school "be removed from the realm of petty politics." Dr. Dickey objected to four state provisions concerning the board (and consequently the University) and the question of Frankfort's potential, if not always practiced, political control of UK. By state law, the governor is chairman of the Board of Trustees. As such, he can fill all unusual vacancies and choose alumni representatives from a list submitted by the alumni. Two members of the governor's adthe Superintendent of ministration Public Instruction and the Commissioner of Agriculture automatically members of the board. are Law also requires the board to lia-an unusual number of trustees from farming areas and geographical districts. Dr. Dickey felt that this provision was a ghost of the University's 19th century ancestor, the Agricultural and Mechanical College. The fourth objectionable provision would require an amendment to the constitution, Article 93, which decrees that no state officer may be selected or appointed for a term of more than four years. Because board members are state officers, a governor can appoint a majority of the trustees, thus influencing board actions even after his term is expired and neither he nor his officials have voting status on the board. Dr. Dickey preferred for the governor to remain as chairman with no vote. He wanted the state laws changed to remove administration officials from the board and a constitutional amendment so that trustees' terms could be staggered and lengthened to seven years. This would make it impossible for a governor to appoint a majority of the board members, thereby releasing the University from the sphere of direct politics. In addition, the former president called for the repeal of the laws providing for board members from agricultural areas and geographical districts, allowing the governor to select the best qualified men to serve, regardless of their residences or their professions. In light of Gov. Breathitt's proclaimed agreement with Dr. Dickey's recommendations, a little more than 12 months ago, the Kernel feels that lie should make good his promises and strive to free the University from Frankfort's political reins. UK, as a institution, has obligations to the entire state, and not merely to a governor and his administration. Denial Of Basic Rights In the light of two recent events find ourselves forced to speak up for civil rights. Pressure groups are obviously trying to deny to fellow Americans the basic rights of free speech and peaceful assembly. In one case, violence erupted when ve Letters To Editor In Error To The Editor: Although Mr. Rosenthal is generally a good reporter, he did not, I think, get my words down correctly when he quoted me as having remarked of Mr. Ciardi: "Ciardi is very elegant, however, he speaks with intelligence about subjects that he knows nothing." Mr. Ciardi does know something about college life; he even knows something about poetry and the humanities in general. What I tried to make clear in my statement to Mr. Rosenthal was my feeling that Mr. Ciardi would only cliches palm off smoothly-fashione- d when he spoke on campus. Actually, I suppose I should have suggested to Mr. Rosenthal that students, particularly members of the Student Congress, would be wise to attend closely to Mr. Ciardi's polished drivel. For, as an accomplished confidence man, Mr. Ciardi is very, very good. And, who knows, perhaps he is to be commended for his skill in soothing and bemusing his victims. Robfrt L. White Assistant Professor Department of English a group blinded by prejudice picketed outside an auditorium in which a speaker was advocating views repulsive to the group. In another case, a group of persons was trying to restrict the right of a group to assemble. These liberty-denyin- g groups mentioned are not the Ku KIux Klan, the Citizens' Council or another conservative Southern group they are "civil rights" groups at Northern universities. Civil rights supporters at the University of Minnesota protested the appearance of Alabama Gov. Wallace on the campus, and one of them attacked a picket, according to the college paper. It seems to us that if the attacker was really interested in civil rights, he would have avoided attending the speech and not interfered with those who agree with Wallace. At the University of Kansas a group called the Civil Rights Coordinating Committee picketed a fraternity house to protest a discriminatory clause in the national fraternity's constitution. The committee's view on civil rights must not include the right to assemble with those you want to and to not assemble with those you might not want to. In principle, we have no complaint about civil rights, but we become fearful when fanatical support' ers try to destroy what they say they are trying to establish. Extension of civil rights to one group should not also include the restriction of those same rights to a second group.
