CONGRESS DISCUSSES
REPORTS, SUB - GROUPS
In a brief meeting Monday night
Student Congress members heard

three reports on projects and a
discussion of the matter of SC representation in the six
organizations.
Jim Daniel, president of Student Congress, reported that 32
students had applied for the Washington Seminar, to be held from
June to August of this year in
Washington, D.C.
The actual participants who will
be recommended by the University
will be selected Saturday by a
screening board of 10 faculty and
staff members.
Daniel said the committee will
recommend perhaps 25 students.
A third report revealed that the
1062-6- 3
Student Directory, which
is sponsored by Student Congress,
may be printed in Lexington next
fall.

tor, described Dr. Dickey as appearing on the porch of his home
dressed in a sport shirt and telling the students he was proud of
the victory. He said:
"I hope you remember to turn
out this well to greet the team
tomorrow. Just remember, wherever you go and whatever you do
you are representing IK."
The team arrived back in Lexington about noon yesterday and
was met at Blue Grass Field airport by about 200 enthusiastic students.
The demonstration seemed orderly except when one student
lunged at University Photographer Dick Ware when he attempted to take a picture. The
student struck the photographer
in the face, but Ware was not
injured. He was on assignment
for the Kernel and Kentuckian.
The crowd blocked traffic along
Rose Street in front of the Chi
Omega sorority house. When rain
began to fall, students began running back to the dormitories, but

the committee, said that possibly

Student Congress members will
sell advertising for the directory
and receive a commission.
In a motion to get the "feelings"
of the congress members, Raleigh
Lane, a representative of the College of Arts and Sciences, proposed
be
that voting representatives
placed in Student Congress'
groups.

"It doesn't make sense to have
people voting in this unit and SC
not voting in the sub groups,"
Lane pointed out.
John Williams, vice president of
Student Congress, proposed the
congress "write off" the $833.45
debt owed to the organization by
Scabbard and Blade, Arnold Air
Society, and the Pershing Rifle
Club.
However, after further discussion the vice president moved to

table the motion until further
study could be made of the situation.
The debt was incurred in 1959
when the military organizations
asked for a loan of $1,500 from
Student Congress to pay expenses
on the Military Ball.
Williams explained that since
Student Congress is supposed to
assist organizations
and these
three would probably never pay
the debt for 20 years, Student
Congress should drop the loan.
The vice president met opposition to his proposal when Bob
Scott, a representative from the
Agriculture College, said, "It just
isn't good business to drop a loan
when there is a chance to collect
it."
A member of one of the military
groups said that if the loan were
removed they could "retain our
face."

Miss Dixie Evans, director of
women's residence halls, said the
demonstration began just shortly
before the women's dormitory cur
few of 10:30 p.m.
She said all women were inside
the dormitories when the crowd,
began to form.
Dean of Men L. L. Martin
was summoned early in the
course of the demonstration.
When he arrived, he told a group
of bystanders near Keeneland
Hall:
"Let's say good night and go

Jack Hall, director of men's
residence halls, commented:
"The demonstration was merely
a youthful burst of enthusiasm

WBKY Named
Most Popular
FM Station
University radio station, WBKY,
has been named the most popular
FM radio station in t lie Lexington
area.
In a survey conducted last December it was found that more
than 57 percent of the total FM
listening audience stayed tuned to
WBKY.
Dr. Merrell DeVoe, professor
of marketing, in his report, stated that the FM audience lias a
higher income and better education than the population in general. Some 83 percent of the
WBKY listeners have attended
college, and more than 48 percent of them earn $10,000 or
more a year. Both figures are
above the average.
Dr. DeVoe said Monday that the
reason for the survey was because
one had never been conducted in
Lexington.
Gaining useful information for
the commercial broadcasters was
also a prime consideration because
commercial stations were especially interested in learning something
about the buying habits of their
listeners.

Thirteen Chilean Students
k
Arrive For
Stay

It Pays To Advertise In The Kernel!

Two-Wee-

By KITTY HUNDLEY
Thfrteen Chilean students will
arrive at the University at 10:30
a.m. today to experience a two-wecampus stay. They have Just
spent a month in Cincinnati where
each lived with a family.
The Experiment in International Living which was founded In
1932, has given these Chilean students an opportunity to explore
the United States by living with
an American family and experiencing campus life.
The nine girls and four boys
will be staying in various fraternity houses and dormitories.
Each student will have a personal ran, pus host who will art as
guide.
A program of various activities
has been planned for the Chileans
while they are here.
They will attend the Ouifiiiol
and
piTsfiiMtion of "Dr. Fau.-t.uswill
the baUaime between the
Wildcats and. Tu'ane University;
they will attend classes to gain a
belter view of th? academir scene.
A tour of the Blue Grass, including Ashland and the horse farms
has been planned as well as several
parties.
Upon leaving UK, the students
will meet another group of Chilean
students in Philadelphia. From
there they will go sightseeing in
New York City and Washington,

ditions as they really were. Tourists saw only what they were
supposed to see: hotels, night
clubs, museums, and eathedrals.
As a result of these experiences,
Dr. Watt organized the Experiment
In International Living. An Experimenter can learn the life and
traditions of others through living
with a family in the country he Is
visiting. The nation, its problems,
and its culture can be seen from a
greater vantage point. It Is easier
to understand the people and make
friends with them.
"People learn to live together
by living together," is the motto
of the Experiment way of looking at life. Experimenters usually
go ahroad in groups of 10. Members of the group meet rrri"d-irall- y
to discuss tlieir experiences.
In this way the Experimenters
can see the host country not only
through his eyes but through the
eyes of everyone in his group.
Students at UK may liave the
of visiting a
same opportunity
foreign land.
The program is open to hiph
school and college students, and
others under GO. One may want to go as the member of a group, a leader, or on the
Community and College Ambassador Plan. Independent travel can
be arranged after the home-.sta- y
if desired.

To qualify as a group leader,
one must be a graduate student
or over 21 and have had travel
experience. Proficiency in a foreign language is also required.
The travel expenses vary according to the country one has
chosen to visit. A student living In
Africa, India, Argentina, or Western Europe will pay an approximate fee of $950. To live in France,
Japan, the Soviet Union, and Norway, the cost would be approximately $1,200.
It Is suggested by sponsors that
$125 for spending money also be
taken. Scholarships and Interest-fre- e
loans are available.
During the past 30 years of
the organization's existence,
more than 90,000 persons have
taken part in the Experiment '
f ither as Experimented to other
lands or as fjrrily members who
have playerl host to Experimenters. More than 12.0(10 Americans
have lived abroad under this
Expcrimc nt.

Those Interested in the Experiment may obtain additional information from Henry Durham, coordinator of the program, in the
Administration Building. Likewise,
one may write to the Experiment

Coeds Combine
Data And Dates
By The Associated Press
Time was when girls were con-- 4
trnt to bat their eyelashes at boys
to make their high school days
tolerable. They figured that so long
as they had to go to school, they
might as well make it pay off in
dates.
But that attitude has chained
since the atom was split. Girls now
are not Just content with reading
science fiction.
Ten of the 40 finalists in the
21st Science Talent Search
are girls, a pretty good
ratio in any science competition.
Typical of the 1D62 science inspired girl is Sheila Lynne Grinell,
16, of New York City, w ho developed a system for "adding and subtracting" polygons, many-side- d
geometric figures, a method known
as vector analysis.
Sheila wants a career In medical research and that motivated
her science interest from an early
age. "Neither parent prodded me
into it," Sheila volunteers. "They
just encouraged me to find my
way." She hopes to study biological
and physical sciences at Radcliffe
College.
She was a delegate to the International Youth Science Conference in London where she shared
theories with teen-age- rs
from 18
countries.
"I was one of five high school
Juniors who went over, and we
lived at a youth hostel in London.
Besides talking math with British
boys, science proved to be a me;
dium for mutual understanding. It
emphasized being a human
ing."
Sheila feels she is well advanced
toward her goal, considering her
age. "I am very happy to have
gotten this far," she says, "and
I can't wait to go on."

She has other talents. She Is
managing editor of the citywide
newspaper for French-America- n
high school students. It has a
circulation of 27,000. She can al.so
sew. The suit she'll wear to Washington March 1 on her five-da- y
winning trip to pick up her $230
prize and see how she laics in the
finals is one she made herself, a
black and white tweed with a
skat.
and semi-llare- d
Sheila thrives on the "cha-chaalthough she doesn't cliy rock 'n
roll, and though she has "lots of
dates, I'm not a steady datcr,"
she says.
Girl winners in the talent search
were active in every area. Mary
Barron, 18, of Phoenix developed
the
a method for determining
charge-to-maelectronic
ratio,
to focus an

UK Reflects The Trend
Astronaut John Glenn and Friendship 7 have gained widespread and
praise following their
recent orbits of the globe. Also receiving praise, likewise well deserved,
have been the countless numbers of
men behind the scene, among these
the engineers.
It gives us a tremendous feeling
of contentment and satisfaction to
know that we have men of such admirable abilities and skill. It also
creates in us the dangerous tendency
of resting on our laurels, with little
or no'thought of the future.
It could even tend to cause us to
forget a seemingly insignificant statement made by Secretary of Welfare
Abraham RibicofT that fewer college
freshmen enrolled in engineering last
fall than two years ago.
Some may say not to worry, about
it that if we can orbit a man around
the world three times, there is no
cause for concern. We partially agree;
the present is assuring, but Mr.
comment concerns the future,
and the future concerns us.
Glenn's
Astronaut
accomplishment has served to emphasize the
importance of engineering in Amer

well-earne- d

Ribi-coff- 's

ica, as well as the need for more
and more engineers. We would like
to confide that Mr. Ribicoffs statement does not apply to the University of Kentucky, but such is not the
case. The University coincides with
what he says, as the following figures indicate.
In 1939, two years ago last fall,
UK enrolled 521 freshmen in the College of Engineering. Last semester,
freshmen enrolled in the College of
Engineering totaled 4S4, or a decrease
of 37 students in two years. So the
secretary's statement is definitely confirmed locally, and by thus localizing
the problem, we hope to drive home
the validity of his report.
Nevertheless, Glenn's flight has
instigated new hope for future enrollments. It should inspire many
more high school students in Kentucky, as well as across the nation,
to become increasingly interested in
the engineering field.
With a maximum of optimism, we
look forward to the years ahead with
the hope that the current trend of
decreasing enrollment in engineering will end, with an increase taking
its place.

Political Issue Wrecked
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASIIINGTON-II- is
own Democrats wrecked any chance for President Kennedy to make a political
issue out of the ruination of his plan
for a new department of urban affairs
and housing.
The
Republicans
in the House were against it but
helpless to stop it without Democratic help. They got it in abunfrom Southern
dance, particularly
Democrats.
This doesn't leave Kennedy room
for telling city voters in this year's
congressional elections the Republicans did him in. The most he can say
is that he was for it. That can't help
his party much.
The Republicans' opposition was
based on the argument that a new
department would only make the
government that much bigger and,
since it would be concerned with
cities, it would interfere with the
rights of states to be concerned with
cities.
It became clear that the bulk of
Southern Democrats would oppose
the measure after Kennedy announced
that he would appoint Robert C.
Weaver, a Negro, to his cabinet to
head the new agency if the department were created.
Right now the various government agencies dealing with housing
are grouped under one main unit, the
Housing and Home Finance Agency.
Weaver is head of that. Rut both
he and the HIIFA lacked the prestige
and influence which go with a de

partment. The idea for creating such
a department has been bouncing
around for years.
It has been examined inside and
out by congressional
committees.
Kennedy recommended it last year
in a message to Congress. In effect,
he has said the problems of cities
and their people are so big they need
a department.
He backed a bill to set it up. But
the bill never got out of Senate and
House committees to the floor of
either house for a vote. The whole
business began moving toward a fast
climax last Jan. 24.
Two things happened that day:
1. The House Rules Committee
voted against letting the bill come
up on the floor. Southern Democrats
and Republicans have dominated that
committee, perhaps the most conservative in Congress.
Although the Democrats outnumber the Republicans in the committee 10 to 5, the vote against the bill
was 9 to 6. Four Southern Democrats
joined the five Republicans in throttling the measure.
Kennedy decided to take a
step which didn't require committee
action at all. lie told a news conference he was sending Congress, under
his reorganization powers, a plan to
set up a new housing department.
This meant the plan would go
into effect in GO days unless the
House or Senate disapproved. That
would require a wide, open vote on
the floor so everyone could know
who was for or against.

Ry DONALD R. SPANGLER
To The Editor:
I wish to comment on the speech
of Mr. Amnon Golan as reported in
the Feb. 20 edition of the Kernel.
I find myself in complete disagreement with both the concept of "world
government and the arguments which
Mr. Golan used to advance his belief
in world government. I view them
both as totally unrealistic.
First, he compares the need of a
federal government among the 50
need for a
states with the
world government of some 120 nations. He in effect submits that if the
United States of America needs and
has a central government, then it is
also desirable and feasible for the
nations of the world to have a world
government.
Mr. Golan ignores several important things:
1. The people of the U.S. have
both a common language and heritage. This means two things: a) the
people of the U.S. are capable of
each other, and b)
understanding
their common heritage gives them
many things in common, such as a
democratic republic and a common
culture.
2. The people of the world, when
taken as a whole, have no basis as
binding as that which is exemplified
in the U.S. and other advanced civilized nations.
Indeed, there are two major factors which serve as a barrier to any
uniting of the peoples of the world.
The first factor is the vast gap in

civilization between the people of the
more advanced and civilized nations
of the world and the rest of the
peoples of the world. We should
allow, for example, the people of the
Congo to participate in governing us?
That would be pure nonsense.
The second factor is the very contrastingindeed conflicting political
systems as exemplified between Russia
and Red China on one hand and
the United States and Great Britain
on the other.
I doubt that any dictator, whether
he is a dictator of the proletariat or
of the aristocracy would indeed ive
up any of his power' and control. I
know that I, and I hope I speak for
others, would be unwilling to give
up or compromise any of my liberties.
Mr. Golan also said the United
States should get rid of its prejudices
and get in pace with the rest of the
world. Alasl Given the rest of the
world is changing, but, is it for the

better?
Does this mean that our system of
life, which has taken the best from a
heritage and
improved upon it, should give up this
in favor of some new system, recently
thought up by some dreamer?
Let's be realistic, Mr. Golan. Even
if we should be convinced that we
should do this, would it be for our
best interests?
Our interests must be considered,
and I do not think we should be
called selfish or prejudiced for doing
so. If you insist that we are, then I
say let it be so.

"Concern" or "comfort?" Which
one do we emphasize?
Thinking of self, it's simple to
answer honestly that we are mainly
concerned with our own comfort
the easy life. If this is our only goal,
we've found it.
I think, however, that most of us
would like to accomplish more than
apathetic comfort. Turning our focus

to other people being involved with
their problems puts emphasis on
"concern" in our lives, and concern
can lead us to social action.
A recent statement of the YWCA
and NCJW says, "I will know that
as I build so is the world built And
if I am indilferent, I abandon the
world." We must emphasize concern
for each other not inertly to build
the world, but to build it constructively and creatively.

'They Figured I Was Greek

Dr. Clark Discusses Greek Lecture Toiir

By DAVID SHANK

Kernel Feature Writer
it conjures
Although

up

images of ancient Greece, one
wouldn't ordinarily expect the
to have
name "Dionysius"
practical value. That was the
case a few months ago, however, when the name helped
speed our Distinguished Professor of History through a
tiresome Greek customs line.
"After they figured I was Greek,
I got the speediest service you ever
-

faw," chuckled Dr. Thomas Diony-fihead
Clark, Mississippi-bor- n
of UK's History Department.
Dr. Clark returned at the first
of the month from a three-mont- h
lecture tour through Greece,
lie made the trip at the invitation of NATO and the U.S.
State Department. Before he returned at the first of this month,
he delivered 28 lectures on American history to some 4.500 Greeks
at such exotic-soundiplaces
as the University of Athens, Uniof Thessalonica, Petros,
versity
and Mrssallungen.
Lecture topics included: "The
Ae of Jefferson," "The American
Couth." "U.S. Life Since 1945,"
end "American Urbanization."
"I took a real reduction in salary
to go," Dr. Clark said. "And I
made all my travel and hotel arrangements."
Obviously excited by the memories of his trip. Dr. Clark sat in
his Frazee Hall office and related
some of his observations.
"Greek students," Dr. Clark observed, "have little in common with
American students. They place
great emphasis upon the professions, especially medicine, the sciences, law. and archeology."
He saw five Greek graduates of
UK while he was in their country.
"They all said they thought their
training at UK was good," he
noted.
About the Greek people, Dr.
Clark said, "No people on earth
are more friendly. They wouldn't
think of having you In their
home without serving you something sweet."
He detected, however, that the
flavor of much Greek candy Is
reminiscent of mutton. "Lamb is
the staple meat in Greece and you
can taste the mutton fat shortening in the candy," he said.
"It's a good idea not to admire
something that belongs to a Greek
unless you want to wind up with
it in your hands," Dr. Clark said.
"They're likely to give you anything as a gesture of hospitality.
"I remember one night my wife
and I were walking along a wharf
alter dinner and we passed a boat
where some men were unloading
lemons. As we went by one of the
men dug into the lemons and rushed over and presented us with two
of his best specimens."
