Vertica I Files Offer Research A id
By WAYNE SMITH
Need seme special help in get-

and programs on hundreds of subjects. Much of the material is of
current interest.
Perhaps one of the greatest
sources of sundry information,
these files are not used to their
fullest capacity according . to library attendants. Many questions
in term papers which might have
previously gone unanswered could
possibly be solved by a trip to the
vertical files.
The Items In this file are not
given Individual entry In the general card catalog, but are made
available to the student on 'request at the desk In the Reference Room. The librarian may
offer advice as to whether your
problem can be answered from the

ting that nagging term paper or
research project successfully
launched?
Why not hop over to the reference room of the Margaret I.
King library, and you will be introduced to a most helpful source
of material the vertical files,
The vertical flic? located on the
main floor of the library, contain
1a formation and material which
can't be traced through the reader's guide or card catalog.
'
These files are packed with
pamphlets, typed and mimeographed bibliographies, clippings
from newspapers and magazines,
brochures, leaflets, maps, pictures, file.

"There is a great deal of very
helpful material in the vertical
file, but its usefulness depends
primarily on the specific need of
the students," says Miss Norma
Cass, reference librarian.
Miss Cass, who has been with
the library since-i- t was built in
1931, scans the newspapers and
magazines daily for material for
the file.
Her other sources of material
Include local, state, and federal
documents which are sent to the
library, free and solirited brochures and pamphlets, and regular
library sources.
So when you need that last
important fact for a successful
term paper, get acquainted with
the vertical file.

indefensible on ethical grounds. Whether we like it or
not, most men have a military obligation which must be discharged.
It is part of the price America
and therefore Kentucky must pay for
security against a bellicose ideology
and its constant threat. Are we to
eschew duty and become mere soldiers
of fortune, hired mercenaries? Grained

granted that it disrupts our careers;

veterans a bonus which he and possibly his children will have to pay

is equally

Finally, administering the bonus
would be unwieldly. Some of the
beneficiaries, of course, still live in
this state, but others are scattered
to the winds. It would at best take
months to determine where these
people are and at this point the
bonus proponents don't even know
how many there are.
This, then, is substantially what
many of you will be offered when
you go to the polls next week: a
chance to ratify a proposal that would
pay untold millions to untold thousands of veterans by saddling yourselves with an indeterminate sales
tax for an indefinite number of years.

If this not a preposterous, farcical
fleecing of Peter to pay Paul?

Thus the veteran possibly would pay
back, in taxes, more than he received
as a bonus.

Throughout its entire history, one
of the Kernel's inviolate editorial
policies has been its "hands of!" attitude toward state politics. The
wisdom of this policy is apparent;
we should be foolish indeed to risk
biting today the hand that might
or might not feed the University
tomorrow.
Yet there is one item to appear on
next week's general election ballot
which is not political, since neither
party has espoused it, but the outcome of which will have
implications for Kentucky.
We allude to the proposed con-- ,
stitutional amendment which would,
if passed, authorize payment of
bonuses up to $500 each to Ken'
tucky veterans of all wars from
the Spanish American through the
Korean. The fact that such an amend--mehas even been proposed is
alarming enough; the possibility of
its endorsement at the polls is frightening.
The bonus proposal is patently
idiotic no matter in what framework
it is considered. Financially it is pure
folly; ethically it abrogates all principles of duty to one's country; and
administratively it is rife with pit-

By BOBBIE MASON

With inspiration from last Thursday's University Soapbox, I am going
to talk about teachers. Now, mind
you, UK has a supercolossal staff, infallible and all. But it seems that the
professors are wasting their time lecturing to us when we have other
things to do. Besides, they could be
doing other things themselves.
Our lag in education may not be
due to poor textbooks, clodminded
students; high rent, an obnoxious SC,
or our state's irresponsible treatment
of teachers but to another element.
The fault does, not necessarily lie in
your own indifference, O Thinking
College Student, but in the very
instigators of your education.
Which is to say: here is why you
are bludgeoned by classroom miseries,
lellow student. You are bored by your
professor's superior knowledge. He
fails to hold your attention because
that's one thing he didn't learn to do.
But he knows about all the rock formations and third-ratpoetry and
nuclear devices in the world. But
what good is all this
if he can't convey it to his floundering pupils?
Furthermore, the seats are hard.
The teacher may be one who is
educated beyond reproach, with degrees from Vassar, West Point, and
Furdville Institute. He may have even
been assistant department head in
glue research in outer Bongolia. But
he knows so much that he soars to

wandering about in the luxury of his

people below who immediately set
