at a convocation in Memorial
Hall, beginning the day's activities in connection with dedicating
Dickey Hall, the new $1.2 million

Dr. Dickey, who was dean of
the College of Education from
prior to becoming
President of the University, told
the convocation, the significance
of any building is assessed by the
caliber of the faculty, the intelligence of the students, and the
"search for learning and the
stimulation of critical thinking."
"Out of this building will step
the leaders of our city, state, and
nation, the teachers of teachers,
and the men and women whose
shoulderswill bear the burden of

presents the challenge always to

excell and not to be satisfied with

mediocrity.

"The first priority of any university," he said, "is its obligation to students, particularly undergraduates."

The quality in undergraduate
education, he said, is not in limiting education to the superior student.
Dr. Dickey said that if he
could choose one priority, it
would be the "standards of teach-ing.- "

"The third priority," he said,
"is finding the proper balance
between liberal and professional
education."
"Can our liberal tradition be
protected, or are our goals essentially economic and
he asked.
The fourth priority, he said,
lies in the "area of program and
course proliferation."
"Our curricula could be
strengthened," he said, "if the
number of courses could be reduced and fragmentation and duplication eliminated."
Also top on the priority list,
according to Dr. Dickey, is the
need for a "thorough look at the
graduate program."
"There is a shortage of college
teachers, and yet we still follow
the same procedure."
The fifth priority, he said, is
to make truly "professional
types" of teachers and administrators.
"Teacher education is a dynamic field and should be based
on knowledge of subject matter,
skill in thinking, and understanding of the place of education in
our society."
The distinct characters of the
teacher education program is that
the teacher is a person whose
education is distinguished by
"breadth and depth." The teacher should understand the "teaching-learning
process," and
techni-logical-

"actual laboratory experience
should be provided in the program" to put this knowledge to
practical use.
"The teacher," he said, "is
the core of all educational programs and improvement of teachers is based on greater emphasis
on a strong academic back-

ground."
"The teacher," he said, "is

the core of all education programs
and improvement of teachers is
based on greater emphasis on a
strong academic background."
He said that due to the more
complex
problems of today's
world, the teacher must be better
informed.
"We must seek to educate
teachers to serve the nation and
e
relato promote
tions," he said.
The final priority cited by Dr.
Dickey was college drop-out"Is their partial collegiate experience meaningful? How dowe
keep prospective, good teachers
from dropping out after the first
or second year? Have drop-out- s
fallen off with the more selective
admissions?" he asked.

Questions Need Answering In SC Overhaul

By KENNETH GREEN
Assistant Managing Editor
If present members of Student Congress and a few
other campus leade.s have their way, Student Congress
will be completely overhauled in an attempt to increase
its power and broaden its base of support.
A committee headed by Representative Larry Kelley
has come up with what it believes to be a good, workable
solution in a proposed "University of Kentucky Student
Association."
The new student government (UKSA) would be composed of three branches the legislative, the executive,
and the judicial.
The legislative branch, according to the proposal,
would be "an assembly of duly elected representatives
of the students of the University todebate student issues
and to establish student policy." The proposal was
presented to 57 student leaders and faculty advisers at
Saturday's Conference on Organizations held at Carnahan
House.
"Representation," the proposal continued, "shall be
apportioned equally amongthe students of the University,
based upon common interests, considering such factors
as housing, college, classification, etc., so that legislative decisions may truly represent student opinion."
It would seem that the best possible means to "truly
represent student opinion" would be to elect representatives on a basis of housing units.
While it is true that the majority of students live
(66 percent), it is possible that a system of dividing housing up into various districts such as U. S. Congressional districts might be worked out and enable
students to voice their opinion in a more representative
manner.
This system of representation has been suggested in
past weeks by several different parties, chief among them

on

being the Town Housing Council, which came up with
the proposal in determining how to represent town housing students in the council. The system easily could be
applied to all students as well as in representation in
Student Congress.
The representatives might be elected on a basis of
one for every 200 students, which would make about 70
representatives, based on the current University
enrollment.
It is possible, also, that representatives might be
elected and districts laid out so that certain representa- -

Ncws Analysis
tives would also represent other groups and interests,'
such as fraternities, women students, and dorm groups.
The main point of controversy, however, seems to
hinge on the handling of the University's 178 campus
organizations. Some student leaders contend that the
best way to represent the students is to form a coordinating council, with representation based on groups of
organizations.
According to this plan the student government would
be made up of representatives from campus organizations
only. The main objection to this, however, is that the
group could never be truly representative because many
of the students do not belong to organizations of any
kind.
A great percentage of the students have their only
contact with campus in attending classes. A student
government based on this type of representation would
be as unrepresentative overtly as the present Congress is
covertly.
Still a third proposal is to enlarge the Student Center
Roard and to endow it with more power. This method
also proposes that representation be based on organiza
similar-p-

urpose

tions, which makes it as undesirable as the second proposal for a truly representative student government.
The best method of obtaining a truly representative
Congress, then, would seem to lie in the first suggestion.
In it, the Congress would be changed from its present
form of only one body to a government of three separate
branches, similar to the U. S. system of governmental
structure.
There would be an executive branch with a president,
a vice president, and a cabinet composed of appointed
members charged with specific duties.
The judicial branch would be composed of "one superior court and such inferior courts as the assembly shall
establish." According to the proposal as it now stands,
the president would appoint the members of the superior
court, whose power would "extend to all cases arising
under the constitution of the UKSA, laws passed by the
Student Assembly, and laws of the University."
While this seems to be a valid and adequate proposition for a true student governing body, one wonders how
much power the superior court would have in reality and
into what areas this power would really extend.
Would the court, for instance, be able to try appeals
from cases arising from such seemingly independent
groups as the Interfraternity Council, or would the court's
powers be limited to cases arising from individual students' actions alone?
And what would a court's decision mean would it be
absolute, or could the Administration (the deans of men
and women or the vice president for student affairs) reverse unfavorable or unpopular decisions?
Although the basic plan of this proposal is sound and
has a good chance to work, these questions and many
others like them will have to be answered before any
of student government
final decisions on the actual
can be made.

8,000 See 'Beautiful Ballet

By SCOTT NUN LEY
A crowd of8,000 towns
people,
faculty, and students attended
Tuesday night's performance of
Huth Page's Chicago Opera Hallet
in Memorial Coliseum.
As usual when tlicatcr-gocr- s
have the opportunity to sec beautiful ballet well executed, the response was enthusiastic. The Chicago Opera Ballet came to Lexington as part of the Central Kentucky Concert and Lecture Scries,
but nearly as many University
students made use of their ID
cards to attend the performance
as did Lecture Series ticket
holders.

A Review
The only sad note in witnessing such an enjoyable evening's
performance is the thought of the
year's wait until another ballet
can be brought to Lexington. Last
year the San Francisco Ballet
company presented a style of
ballet much more classic than
last Tuesday's opera ballet.
Opera ballet is a specialized
form adapting the stories and
music from operas to ballet presentation. "Camille," the first selection performed by the Chicago
Opera Ballet, was adapted by
Miss Page from the same source
as the Verdi opera "La Traviata."
The second selection, "Bullets
Or
was adapted for

It is encouraging that some

The Canadian Divide
Canada, struggling with Quebec's "Quiet Revolution," has just
been given her worst shock in many
a year. The Royal Commission on
Bilingualism and Biculturalism,
after twenty months of study, has
issued a report which says that
Canada is going through her "greatest crisis" and that "the clash of
English and French could destroy
the country if permitted to deepen." The first reaction among Canadians seems to be disbelief, as well
as shock.

The heavy emphasis placed by
the commission on "bilingualism" the fact that 80 percent of
the Quebecois speak French and
the rest of the country English-- is
puzzling. It is true that India
is having serious difficulties over
language; but Belgium has got
along since 1830 speaking Flemish and French and Switzerland
much longer speaking German,
French and Italian. Language creates problems, but no insuperable
barriers.
Canada's problem is unifying
her "two nations" is unhappily
far more complex than a matter
of language. The Royal Commission is right if it is simply recogde-- .
nizing that the
mands of Quebec for more autonomy and a greater voice in national
affairs have created a crisis. Prime
Minister Pearson himself said in
a speech last autumn: "We are suffering from schizophrenia." He asked, why not just be Canadians for
a change?
In fact, his Government has been

tackling the main French-Englis- h
problems through a number of committees, commissions and conferences. A new Canadian flag has
been adopted, more satisfying to
the French. The way has been
cleared to reform the Canadian
Constitution without recourse to
London.
Undoubtedly, if the measures
being taken to satisfy Quebec fail
there will, indeed, be "grave danger to the future of Canada," as
the Royal Commission's report
says. No Canadian, least of all
Lester Pearson, needs to be told
this, but perhaps the commission's
shock therapy will prove salutary.
All the same, the commission refused to recommend any solutions,
while the Pearson Government is
at least trying to do something
about the French-Englis- h
problem.

The Grip Of The Networks
Concerned by the lack of diversity that characterizes television
programming, the Federal Communications Commission is considering a proposal designed to break
the tight grip of the three national
networks over what is presented to
the public.
The F.C.C. proposal would restrict network financial control to
no more than 50 percent of the programs carried during the prime evening viewing hours. The remainder
would be available to advertisers,
who would decide for themselves
just what kind of program to show.
Obviously, the authors of the proposal hope that many companies
would welcome the opportunity to
sponsor a wide variety of quality
programs that would not be aimed
exclusively at capturing the widest
possible audience.
This is a commendable objective. Competition among the networks to attract viewers has led
them to cater to the lowest common
denominator in their programming.

Sensitive to the rating services, they
change their shows to conform to
the kind of program-managin- g
that
will achieve momentary success in
the ratings. The result has been
standardized and sterile entertainment.
The trouble is that the proposal
before the F.C.C. is unlikely to
bring a major improvement. The
number of advertisers prepared to
spend money to attract a minority
of viewers is small. To provide them
with half of the prime viewing time
may well produce even more innocuous and tasteless programs
than those dished up by the networks. Sponsors are not in business
to offend prospective customers and

can hardly be expected to offer controversial presentations.
If the wasteland of nighttime
television is not to be even more
barren, the F.C.C. will have to go
beyond its present proposal, which
would in effect foster two wastelands instead of one. It does not
make sense to loosen the domination of the networks by strenthen-in- g
the hand of sponsors. Instead,
the F.C.C. should be encouraging
the formation of new competition
for the existing networks and opening up new facilities for worthwhile programming on a local or
regional basis.
