UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

debate trophies ago, Dr. Gifford Blyton came to UK to win 700 trophies. For it could
take no less than a land of splendid optimism in the nature of a real teacher to create from
nothing, a debate team of national standing. Trophies are mirrors of accomplishment, but
and on view in dark
only minor forms of brightness. Usually they "arrive,"
hallways. Men remain always in full view. And standing always is the tribute expressed by
some of Blyton's former students, for he is called a man with an intense interest in his students. "His compassion can best be exemplified by an incident a few years ago when a mother of a girl on the team died," said Dr. Dino Curris, a former debater and currently vice president of Midway Junior College. Curris said the girl, whose mother was a widow but had
worked to put her through school, ran out of money; so Blyton asked her to move in with
his family for the remainder of the year until she graduated.
"Debating has done more than anything else to build an undergraduate image of scholarship and research at UK," said Dr. Blyton several years ago. This year, Dr. Blyton left
his position as director of forensics. By Priscilla Dreher

Behind Dr. Blyton's decision to leave debate and to devote
more of his time to research lurkes an ugly paradox that more
and more university professors will eventually meet as they machete
deeper and deeper into the forest of academic excellence.
Research creates new knowledge. Its beneficial contribu-tation- s
to society are numerous and include such areas as better
understanding of human needs, and the universe that can full-fi- ll

mirrors well the society it represents, . for there is. an, award- or a

Kernel Interview: Associate Professor Guy M. Davenport, Jr.
Assistant Managing Editor Janice Barber went to

find out why Donovan's ideal island sunk and why the
great American institution for learning, the multiversity,
is still "down under." In the following interview Pro-

fessor Davenport describes tlie irrationality of' continental" mcatgrlnders and tlie sane quest for a place of
learning for tlie questioning young scholar. Dr. Daven-)xrti- s
an Associate Professor in the English Department
at UK.
Kernel: What is the role of the university today? Is
it accomplishing its role of education?
Davenport: My general impression is no, that education has fallen down completely. The nature of the
university has changed. You have people who aren't
students, who aren't interested in learning anything
at all in the university. Take an ideal university at
any time and in any place. You have scholars who are
teaching and have something to teach and they have
as simple at that.
students who are coming to learn-it'- s
When you get all the variables fed into the system
you've got something as horrible as the multiversity.
One of the things about historical structures is that
you don't know what they are until many years afterward. I would like to know what the university is
now.
Kernel: You don't know?
Davenport: I know this isn't a university.
Kernel: What is your conception of the ideal university?
Davenport: A teacher who knows a body of knowlmathematics, engineering,
edge or a process-historarchitecture, philosophy has certain people who come
to him to learn this. The classroom now you see, is a
y,

kind of dying animal. At one time it was alive. In the
first classrooms tlie professor had a set of notes which
in effect was the book. At that time students had no
books, there were no libraries, and the books were
chained. The professor read them tlie book, course
after course. That is what a course of lectures means.
The word lecture comes from the old French word
meaning learning. This still goes on inCermanyto some
extent ; tlie students don't read the textbook. What we
have done with this process, I don't know. Obviously,
in most of our classes the students with their technologically advanced world can go to Kennedy's bookstore and buy the book and read it.

effort. I was taught once or twice in my life. I was
taught the multiplication table and before that I was
taught the alphabet and then somewhere along the line
I was taught spelling and punctuation and grammer
and I got up into algebra and logarithms. That is real
raw teaching. The names I'd like to use here are teacher
and pupil. Now, I think at the university level this is
all over with, or should be.
Kernel: What do you mean by the teacher-pupi- l
relationship?
Davenport: The pupil is absolutely dependent upon
the teacher. If I teach you the multiplication tables
you can't argue, right? I'm teaching you unbending
knowledge. There is not a thing you can do to say
I will be taught another multiplication table. You can't
even ask to be taught a black multiplication table or
a communist multiplication table. This is true teaching
and this is the teacher-puprelationship and it should
happen in grammer school through high school. The
university, it seems to me, is a matter of scholarship.
There's no longer any pupil. There is a young scholar.
And he is terribly interested in becoming an architect,
a lawyer, perhaps a professor or something or other.
Kernel: At the University level you believe then,
in the questioning scholar rather than the pupil who
just expects everything is true?
Davenport: You can't tell a man what to think.
It seems to me that even in the sciences where you
work with exact knowledge and on the edge of exact
Continued on Page 5, Col. 1

Kernel: Do you think it was better when there were

no books?

Davenport: No, you can't say it was better or
worse. I assume this process of teaching without texts
still goes on. For instance, you get into the outer
reaches of physics, chemistry and biology and there
is no book because the professor is writing it. He is
telling them what he has learned in his lab. I don't
have any textbooks, most professors don't. I send my
students out to read Shakespeare and Chaucer and
Allen Ginsberg and what we do in class is in effect
the unwritten book, which may never be written.

Kernel: Is there any justification for the professor
who comes to class and assigns six textbooks and then
proceeds to lecture these textbooks to the class?
Davenport: Let us say that this is unnecessary

Summer Registration
By GERALD CENTERS
Over 5,400 students were expected to register for the summer
session at UK, according to Dr. Elbert Ockerman, dean of admissions and registar.
With 4,454 students registering the first 2 days, it appears student
numbers will fall short of expectations. Ray Cumberledge, associate
dean of admissions and registar said, "We expect an additional
200' to 300 students to enroll during late registration and for short
courses." Last summer's enrollment was 5,109 students.
Of the 4,454 students enrolled, 1,509 are graduate students and
2,945 are undergraduates.
The Housing office reports that 456 students are housed in the
residence halls, excluding Cooperstown and Shawneetown. Residence hall numbers will fluctuate intermittently throughout the
summer since numerous conferences will be housed in the dorms.
Those conferences include: Kentucky Youth Seminar, Institute
On Crime Control and State Budget, Radiological Civil Defense,
Journalism Workshop, and a Piano Conference, during June.
Animal Judging,
During July, conferences include: Rotary,
High School Speech, Institute of Welfare Assistants and Budget
Officers, Kentucky Labor School, National Cash Register, Municipal Officers Seminar, Financial Aid Officers Workshop, College
Business Institute, and 2 Cheerleader Clinics.
Dormitory residents were moving in as athletes from the recent
United States Track and Field Federation's national outdoor meet
were vacating rooms. Press Whelan, UK track coach, said that the
athletes were housed in the dorms for $7.75 per day, room and
board included. Expenses were paid for by the individual schools
represented.

Kernel Interview
Continued From rage

Kernel: How much say should students have in
the administration of the university? Do you think
students should liave a continuing voice on the
Board of Trustees, a permanent seat for example?
Davenport: I think that should be encouraged.
However, is the student smart enough, is he willing? I don't really know what to think because
I haven't lud any experience with it. Before I
came to UK I was at Haverford College and there
was a great deal of student participation. We went
in a sense through all this progressive stuff and
I didn't see it amount to a hill of beans. I saw
it all blow up and come back. Haverford students
decided seven years ago that they should be
allowed to take their final examinations when
they wanted to. So we put all their exams on a
library table and they came and got them. I had
to do it for a two week period and one student
even stuck around for the summer waiting to take
his exam. They didn't like that and asked for
the discipline of a set hour. Then they decided
they didn't want grades so we didn't give them
grades. And they came right back and said, please
give us grades. They were loosing their minds.
They didn't know what they were doing.
Kernel: What changes could be made in the
university to get more scholars?
Davenport: Smaller units. Break the university
up into colleges. Let each of the colleges be independent as the states under a federal system.
The European universities are all broken up
into colleges, especially the English ones. The
large American university is defeating its own
purpose.
Get the student and the teacher much closer.
Put them in the same environment so
they are talking about can at least have some
continuity. Destroy the course system. The deadly
calculation of classes three times a week for exactly
50 minutes, for example, requires an awful lot of
continuity in the students mind and in the

knowledge so that the possibility for exploration
is always open, that unless the learner is already
something of a scholar you can't do very much
with what tlx; professor has to offer. So the university can only be the trained scholar, the experienced scholar, the old scholar or the young
scholar.
Kernel: Does the system allow the student,
once he reaches university level to actually be
the young scholar?
Davenport: The ratio must be so shocking
as to seem to discount the whole rationale of the
university. What would it be? One in 5 thousand? Of all the people who have come in my
classrooms, I've met, maybe in sixteen years. of
teaching, four scholars. By that I mean people
involved all
generally interested,
by themselves. That's what I mean by the scholarly
approach.
Kernel: How do you regard the statement, "The
student as a nigger?"
bavenport: I think it's a shocking document
because who ever wrote it actually hates the whole
process of education. The spirit of it is so shocking.
Kernel: The author of that statement I felt,
suggests that the pupil has been forced into a
groove. He has been forced to accept things without questioning them. His drive has been aniliated.
When he gets to the university there is practically
no chance of being a scholar.
Davenport: Let us say that this is tragic and
I agree that a vast amount of the early learning
.experience crushes all the real curiosity a child has.
Yes, behind the statement the 'student as a nigger
is a set of truths, but the way it was written I
think is proposterous. I'm old fashioned enough to
say that if the student is arguing, "I've been
crushed, I've been ruined," this is the fault of
his characters. He has every right to fight back.
It's still a free country.

If you've ever been wined,
dined and entertained at the
"Barn" you probably, already

know what I am going to Write
about the Barn Dinner Theatre's
presentation of The Bob Fisher
and Arthur Marx comedy, "The
Impossible Years."
It all starts with the salad.
After progressing through the
dessert table one is ready for a
meal. Dinvery tasty buffet-styl- e
ner atmosphere is relaxed, but a
little skimpy in the "elbow room"
category.
Theatre in the round follows,
actually more diversion and less
theatre and thank goodness because we humans always seem to
eat too much to enjoy the totality
of a pure theatrical production
in such a setting.
With" the exception of "Tobacco Road," all the plays I have
seen at the "Barn" have been

light, New Yorkish, commercial,
delightful
incidentally,
and,
comedies. The only downfall that
is too common at the bam is the
mixture of very good acting with
very poor acting.
"The Impossible Years" is
little more than a situation
comedy about a Long Island
psycho-analywriting a book a- st

bout the care of adolescents. The
doctor, however, happens to be
totally unable to cope with his
d
own two
daughters.
R. Sayers, who plays the
John
doctor-t- he
character who makes
this play really "work", does not
begin to approach the technique
of Alan King, star in the Broadway show, or David Nivin, star
teen-age-

in the movie. For an evening
lines
out, the Niel Simon-lik- e
and mediocre acting satisfy the
purpose of the Barn to wine,
dine and entertain.
"The Impossible Years" food,
fun and laughter-happen- s
