as he grappled successfully with
the pressing problems presented
by the Second World War and
with comparable tasks of the
war's aftermath. . . ."
Dr. Frank Dickey, now director of the Southern Association of Schools, and his successor as president of the University, said, "Dr. Donovan was
a great educator and a great
university administrator.

The Commonwealth memorialized John F. Kennedy Sunday,
almost a year to the hour after his death.
In a joint University Commonwealth
of Kentucky tribute,
Cov. Edward T. Breathitt called for dedication to "saving John
Kennedy from those who would make him a cheap souvenir, a
symbol of second-rat- e
sentimentality. Let us remember always,
the governor said, "that his heroism was in the classic and not
the mauflin tradition and that John Kennedy was above all a

man."

Gov. Breathitt characterized Kennedy's spirit as one of ". . .
deep concern,. . .realism and detachment,. . .and perhaps above
all, a spirit of courage. . ."
Of Kennedy's appreciation of intellect, Mr. Breathitt said, "It
is indisputably true that John Kennedy, as did no President save
Jefferson, had a deep, appreciative and perceptive feeling for the
world of the intellect, for the world of the arts, for the world of
the poet, the thinker, the creative person."
President John W. Oswald, presiding over the convocation,
recalled his statement last November when he said, "The tragedy
which has left all of us stunned has fallen particularly hard on
young people who have associated President Kennedy with their
hopes and aspirations for the future."
"Such men never die," Dr. Oswald said, "but live on in the
hearts of those who knew them."
A highlight of the convovation was "A Thousand
Days," the
film originally produced for the Democratic National Convention
as a memorial to President Kennedy.
The Central Kentucky Youth Symphony Orchestra, which had
appeared at the White House at President and Mrs. Kennedy's request, played "The Serenade for Strings: Elegy" by Tschaiskovsky
and "Hymn and Fugue" by Henry Cowell.
The University Choristers, under the direction of Donald Ivey,
sang "Ave Maria."

Use Of Study Facilities Stressed

AWS Extends Women's Hours
Late Hours

Extension of women's hours for the use of study facilities again
will be in effect this semester.
The AWS Senate and House of Representatives has approved the
still experimental plan which will begin Monday, Nov. 30, and end
Thursday, Dec. 17.
The period included in the extension are the two weeks immediately preceding and the week of final examinations.
Hours will be extended until 12 midnight, Sunday through
Thursday. Friday and Saturday 1 a.m. hours will remain the same.
Housing units will continue to close at 10:30 p.m. during the
week and at 11:30 p.m. on Sunday. Women residents are not to
leave their housing units or enter a residence hall other than their
own after regular closing hours.
While the purpose of extending hours is toallow women to have
access to study areas until library closing hours, the library is not
the only study area available.
AWS has arranged for Blazer Hall cafeteria to be used by those
women living in residence units on that side of campus and any
others who need to take advantage of specifically designated study
areas.
Each residence unit determined its own policy for desk procedure after 10:30 p.m., and usually some sort of special arrangements will be in effect at this time.
Use of the extended hours is not limited to the exclusive use
of study facilities although study is the encouraged and recommended use.
Sandy Brock, AWS president, reminds students, "The most
impoitant thing to remember is to sign out to the plate where
you are going, so that the University can reach you if you are

needed."

Women's hours at the beginning

Excerpts From Governor's Address

The f(J lowing arc excerpts
from the address of Gov. Edward
T. Breathitt at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Service Sunday.
T. S. Eliot's play, "Murder
in the Cathedral," which I am
sure many of you have read, deals
with the temptations that beset
St. Thomas Becket upon the eve
and the occasion of his martyrdom. The last, the greatest and
the subtlest of temptations was
the desire to choose a martyr's
death as the road to a place in
history, as a sop to Becket 's own
ego and
We who meet here, after 12
months, still heavy of heart and
distressed of spirit, must beware

life and the death of John Fitzthat is the

easy tears of sentimentality.
How he would hate all that!
Nothing could more surely betray the spirit of John Kennedy.
One of the qualities which set him
apart from the generality of leaders was the late President's distaste for the false note, the hollow
gesture, the heart worn on the
sleeve. He disliked emotion, not
because he lacked feeling but because he felt so deeply and
would not cheapen his feelings.
He scorned the
appeals to patriotism, not because
he lacked love of country, but
because he loved his country too
much to identify her with the
caricatures drawn in the commonplaces of political oratory. He
was, in many respects, an austere man, and he hid his passions and his emotions under a
mask of indifference because he
felt that the ultimate test of devotion to one's ideals was in
deeds rather than words.
If we, then, would be true
to the heritage he has left us,
we must be reborn of his spirit,
not in some one cathartic emotional experience but in the decisions we make each day.

Kennedy from those who would

The Hope Lives

Many crusaders of higher education are mourning the death of
Dr. Herman Lee Donovan, a man
who gave his life to bettee
who gave his life to better academic
standards.
During his
tenure as president of the University, Dr. Donovan demonstrated
not only a desire to improve this
institution and all educational systems in Kentucky, but he developed ideas which have effected all
colleges and universities.
The contributions of Dr. Donovan to education are beyond estimate. Many successful programs in
Kentucky education begun under
Dr. Donovan's administration.
Dr. Donovan is perhaps best
known as a crusader for academic
freedom. During times of crisis
and turmoil, he always defended
academic principles. He was admired for his intergrity and courage
as well as his strong stand on
principles of education.
This great crusader led the University from 1941 until his retirement in 1956. During this time he
faced problems which required outstanding leadership. Dr. Donovan
showed that he could give such
leadership to the University.

As president during World War
II, Dr. Donovan led the University during a period when funds
were lacking and the number of
students was cut in half.

15-ye-

Although the University showed great physical growth during
his administration, Dr. Donovan
said, "The greatness of a university is not based on buildings,
but on what goes on inside those

buildings."
Dr. Donovan also was a friend
of the athletic program. He devised a plan for athletic scholarships on the grounds that the athlete should also maintain an acceptable academic standing. It was
during his administration that Memorial Coliseum was constructed.
At the time, this structure was far
advanced over other areanas in the
sports world.
Although the man is gone, his
ideas will long be remembered and
cherished by all educators. Those

Reader Reviews Paper 9s Criticism Of Kernel

of the Kernel:
The Lexington Herald has recently criticized the editorial position of the Kentucky Kernel, charging that the editors "have gone far
afield" in their attitude towards
UK football, and urging "some type
of control" over all school newspapers so that they may more properly support the spirit of the school
and the team. The Herald has
strangely overlooked the fact that
there is in existence a committee
composed of both faculty and students to advise the Kernel on its
editorial policies and other matters,
but even more serious than this
oversight is the peculiar approach
of the Herald in maintaining its
views.
In the first place, the role of
the campus newspaper is not so
simple as the Herald would have
us think. That it should represent
student opinion and give general
support to school functions is undeniably true, but a campus newspaper also bears the additional function of being spokesman to the
students, and in this role to be effective it must, frequently become
the gadfly, the minority critic. The
Kernel, in criticizing the athletic
policies of the school, has been performing this second and important
func tion assuming, of course, that
such a critical attitude is indeed
a minority opinion, as the Herald
claims.
Then, in the course of its argument, the Herald takes an unfortunate position. Alter commenting
upon the dangers of libel suit and
the immature desire of student editors to "be against something or
ever thing," it concludes that these
same editors
"soon learn that newspapers
do not gain circ initiation by
attacking institutions or persons. If the' happen to pur

chase interests in weekly newspapers they also learn quickly,
that they also assume a financial responsibility and that they
cannot make their news column
and editorial columns a means
of venting their spleens against
some of the things in their
communities with which they
may not agree."
Implicit here is the idea that
the editorial policy of a newspaper
should do nothing to impair its
circulation. Now, no one denies
the fact that a newspaper, to succeed financially, must avoid offending its readers unduly by unpopular editorial stands. Such mercenary ethics, however, are hardly
effective or even relevant in arguing the proper role of a campus
newspaper, and indeed it is regrettable that The Lexington Herald
so openly or perhaps so obtusely
confesses its own editorial policy
by demanding that the Kernel follow suit.
There are times, certainly, when
the Kernel has taken unpopular
stands, and it may not please all
of the people all of the time. However, I suspect that if the Kernel
revamped its policies to accord with
the wishes of The Lexington Herald,
it would cease to be effective either
as the students' voice or as the
'
critic, ar would become
simply a pallid spokesman
of the official University, or worse
yet, a pabulum for popular sentiment.
