Business Firm?

UK And Controversy
A University professor wrote the

editor of the, Lexington Leader last
week protesting its stand on the activities of the Congress of Racial

Eqality in connection with CORE's
alleged interference in the recent controversy at Kentucky State College.
The Leader replied to the professor's letter with a lengthy editorial
discrediting the principles of CORE
and asserting that the organization
has created animosity between the
races.

The editorial ended with this
statement:
"Every University employee is, of
course, entitled to have and to express his own opinion on any subject,
but (as a committee at the University stated a few years ago) employees should avoid public controversy which adversely affect that institution.
"All UK employees should understand, as must the employees of private business firms, that they are
engaged to perform certain duties,
and should perform certain duties,
and, further, that their actions at all
times reflect, for good or bad, upon
the reputation of their employer."
The editorial also said that the
University depends upon the "good
will" of the people of Kentucky for
existence, just as any business firm
exists to please its employees and customers.

Pontificating poppycock, that's
what it is.
Comparing a university with a
business firm is as about as genuine
as relating rock n roll music with
classical; about as logical as saying
the moon is flat because we haven't

seen the other side; about as sensible
as Joseph McCarthy.
Granted, UK has a business office,
but it is only a small part of the institution. UK docs not, or should not,
exist merely to create the goxl will
of the people of Kentucky and it
should not avoid public controversy
for the sake of finding good will.
We would be a xor university indeed to strive to meet the standards
and practices of a business firm.
What is wrong with controversy?
Is it to be ignored merely because
it is "bad publicity"? Does the public think that all controversy is mere

and not an attempt
to get at the truth, to create a better
life? We should think not.
What is more galling to us is the
fact that someone thinks that a University professor, following what he
thinks is the truth and not breaking
the law, should be silent and not endanger the reputation of his employer.
We wonder if there were any reputations, damaged, anyway. The University should consider it an honor
to have a man who is idealistic and
conscientious enough to participate
in a movement he believes is right.
If ideals of education are so hackneyed in Kentucky that people believe teachers should be
and proponents of Good Will, if the
public thinks that controversy must
be avoided, at any cost, and if UK
exists to be a sanctimonious nothing,
then we would not want any part of it.
Fortunately, we do not think that
about the University of Kentucky.
We only think the Leader is to
be ignored.

Dress Rehearsal Blues

Mediocre

To The Editor:

To The Editor:

It was nonsense to write a review
of the Guignol production of "Ah,
Wilderness" on the basis of a dress
rehearsal, and it was sheer heaitless-nes- s
on such a basic to call it "mediocre" in a banner headline. What sort
of ethics are there in what purjxrts
to be a critical review not even mentioning in the course of the article
that the writer had only seen the
dress rehearsal, and publishing it on
the morning alter the first pcilorm-anceOnly an "editor's note," an
afterthought, infoims us of the fact.

May I use vour cditoiial space for
some advice to any local drama
critics?

?

If a dress rehearsal were the real
McCoy, a finished performance, Guignol and every other theaiiical organization would be justified in selling
tickets. They do not for the obvious
not a
reason that it is a warm-up- ,
jx)lished performance and is no more

(The editor's note was not an
afterthought, but rather a forethought. Although the headline nuts
written because of the reviewer's use
of the phrase "not great" and uuis a
misinterpretation, we heard no complaints from (iuignol. In fact, the
president of (Iuignol players said it
was one of the most intelligent reviews seen in a Lexington paper for
a long while.-- T he Editor)

First, I suggest they base their
review on an actual peiformance ci
the play, regaulless of press deadlines
or "late" copy. An honest appraisal
of what the actois give to an audience is the only lesponsibility of a
night was 10 times
ciilic. OjK-ninsupeiior to the chess rehearsal of
"Ah, Wilderness." Every actor in the
play had something extia then that
was missing the night befoie, especially Phil I'.iooks.
And secondly, I suggest leviewcis
wiite their own headlines lor their
levicw, so there will be at least some
connection between the two.
