act In 1949, is to promote international cooperation for educational and cultural advancement,
and to assist in the development
of relations between the United

The program is administered
by the U. S. Department of State,
in cooperation with other federal
offices.
Dr. Walton, one of several
pharmacologists in the nation to
be invited to apply for a lectureship under the program, said
of his appointment: "Because the
nomination grew from a recent
inspection of the College of Phar

the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education, I am inclined to believe that the awarding of this grant constitutes a
recognition and endorsement of
the type of undergraduate pharmacy education which we have
tried to develop at UK."
Dr. Walton's primary research
interest lies in the field of neuropharmacology.
A native of Alabama, Dr. Walton earned the B.S. degree in
1049 at Auburn University, and
the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at
Purdue University in 1950 and

* The Kentucky Kernel

Student Center:
Is It Misnamed?
"These are the times that try men's
souls. . . .!"
In the course of the past year, students of the University have trailed
in an old Student Union for an enlarged Student Center. Students have
been erroneously led to believe that
this Student Center was constructed
to provide a place of rest and recreation, for them.
However, there is not much to be
found in the way of rest, recreation,
or anything else except conventions.
lleports say the building's name
was changed from "Union" to "Center" due to an oversight by the architect. The Kernel believes that it might
be more appropriately named the
Convention Outer.
Every week a different group takes
over literally. At times students cannot find a place to sit down and relax
after a dry lecture; they cannot get
through either the cafeteria or grille
lines in time to make classes; and
they often cannot find seats in the
dining room, especially if more than
four students wish to eat together.
The Kernel has nothing against
conventions. We realize that they
serve a useful University function and

add to our statewide image. But we
do Ix'lieve that they could cither be
scheduled while school is out or have
the meeting times arranged so we,
the students, can use the Student Center and not feel as if we are intruding
in the Convention Center.

Sometimes You Get It
Coming And Going
There is an old saying that there
are two sides to every question. In
some cases you get hit coming and
going. The University's traffic problem
is one of these cases.
Many are the times the Kernel has
complained about the lack of a traffic
Arts
light at the Sorority Row-Fin- e
Building crossing. At this crossing, the
students have little protection from
the motorist.
Then, there is the other side.
Even at the intersections where
lights ire provided, the students will
not wait on the curb for their turn
to cross. This is especially bad when
drivers need to make turns. When a
right turn is anticipated, it can only

be accomplished by allowing the
group standing three feet from the
curb to cross.
Admittedly the entire stretch of
Rose Street from the intersection with
Limestone to Euclid Avenue could use
some special traffic control in the
morning and evening rush hours.
However, the Kernel believes that
if the students will remain on the curb

until an opportunity comes to cross
at least a little of the cor-- t. sion could
be eased.
Since most of the students are
drivers, it is hard to understand how
they are so immune to the driver's
problems.

Unconstitutional

Court Ruling To Have Far Reaching Effect
--

By KENNETH GREEN
Kernel Staff Writer

Last week's Supreme Court

deci-- .

sion concerning state legislatures' representation will have
effects. The most immediate effect is
that the decision, in effect, actually

declared the constitutions of some 40
states unconstitutional.
Dr. Kenneth Vanlandingham, associate professor of political science,
said he thought the supreme courts in
the states affected would receive cases
"within the next few mouths (filed)
by people in urban areas," which will
le affected most by the decision.
J. E. Beeves, associate professor
of political science, set a slightly different timetable, saying, "I don't look
for that (a flurry of states reapportioning) to happen Ix'fore the fall
elections, but give it two or three
more years and it'll be a different picture."
Prof. Reeves said that it is the
"general opinion of political scientists
hat representation ought to be on
population only," and that be agrees
with that opinion.
The decision will set off a set of
reac tions that will, in the process, improve "education, conservation of
natural resources, and planning and
zoning, and you can even add health
to that."
The decision will not immediately
affect Kentucky, which was reapportioned nuclei' a court order in I'.MiS.
It will, however, "result in better dis-ic
ling by 19712."
Reeves speculated on the unitain-eia- l
swrm of gov eminent, saying that
"one small house in almost continuous session with better pay for its
iiiemhcis at no extra cost" would be
better, in his opinion, than the bicameral s stent in dim in all the
slates except Nebraska at piesent.
The unicameral system was advocated by the late Sen. George

W. Norris of Nebraska. His state
adopted the system in 1937.
According to a Courier-Journa- l
editorial, whether or njt the
legislature has been ideal is
"debatable."
One of the main arguments in
favor of keeping the bicameral system is that two houses avoid passing
hasty legislation.
e
Sen. Norris insisted that a
legislature would be less influenced by lobbying pressures and
would destroy horsetrading and passing the buck which he blamed on the
joint committee meeting of the bicameral system.
Dr. Vanlandingham disagreed with
the Courier-Journa- l
position. "Ample
time in Nebraska," he pointed out,
"is allowed before laws go into effect,
so hasty legislation is impossible."
Both he and Prof. Reeves said that
they favored the unicameral system,
especially since the court's decision
last week.
"Bicameral legislatures are necessary now," Dr. Vanlandingham said.
Prof. Reeves agreed, but said that
he's not in favor "of adding a unicameral section to the constitutional
revision proposal at this time. It
might take the whole thing down the
drain."
He added that he was in favor of
such a system if it would pass the
voters, however.
Dr. Vanlandingham would also
"rather see a small, unicameral government. I would suspect we'd have
a legislature of about 100 members
(in Kentucky)."
He said that the decision will
strengthen former Gov. A. B. Chandler's position. Chandler is pushing for a unicameral legislature at the
meetings of the Constitutional Revision Assembly.
Commenting on the charges of
several Southern goveinois who denounced the high court decision as

Reeves said, "I think
it is a decision in favor of states'
rights, not against them. The Southern governors think that states' rights
mean that no government can do anything.
"But I think that dates' rights
mean a state should handle its affairs." He said that this decision will
give states the opportunity to attend
to their own business.
The decision will make "governments more resx)nsive to a majority
of the people," Dr. Vanlandingham
said, referring to the Southern governor's charges.
In the days following the decision,
there was talk of a new constitutional amendment, which is usual
whenever the Supreme Court hands
clown a controversial decision.
Sen. Strom Thurmond
.)
said "The supreme court didn't
ignore the Constitution; they tore it
up and threw it out the window."
Texas Gov. John Counally agreed,
saying, "The ruling does violence to
at least a measure of checks and balances we've adhered to in our legislative bcxlies since the foundation of
this country."
Gov. Orval E. Faubus of Arkansas labelled the decision "haywire
and cockeyed," and added that it
"lends an awful lot of credence to
the views of those extremists who
want to impeach (Chief Justice Earl)
Warren."
But Delaware Gov. Elbert N.
Carvel, Mayor Robert Wagner of
New Yoik, and Mayor Richard J.
Daley of Chicago all hailed the decision.

The
majority wrote the broad
ruling that both houses of state legislatures "must be apportioned on a
population basis." This will affect
about 40 states.
The big gainers who will profit
from the decision are the cities. In
most states, representatives from rural

areas control the state legislatures because of old constitutional provisions.
After reapportionment, the cities
will gain representatives and the number of rural legislators will drop.
Dr. Vanlandingham predicted that
the Republican Party in the rural
areas would suffer, but would gain in
the suburbs, based on the fact that
the suburbs usually vole Republican.
"My prediction is that after a few
years urban areas will have greater
influence in both the state legislatures
and in Congress," he said.
Asked whether he thought the decision would become a campaign issue, Prof. Reeves said, "Unquestionably, there will be those who will try
to make it an issue, but I don't see it
as a major issue in this campaign."
Dr. Vanlandingham agreed with
him. He said that it may become an
issue " only in a general way."
The decision, which will affect
some 40 different states, contended
that representation in the state legislatures must be based on population
alone. This is interpreted to mean
that these slates must amend their
constitutions to comply with the decision.
The supreme courts in Michigan
and Georgia have already ordered
in their states. The
number of Atlanta representatives in
the Georgia state legislature will be
raised from three to more than 30.
Dr. Vanlandingham also speculated on what further i cat t ion might
come because of the decision.
"Conservatives will resent it as an
invasion on states' rights. It is contrary to political theory from Rome
on down the theory of mixed government where you balance interests
against each other."
Again he reiterated his agreement
with the decision, and his desire to see
a unkainei
"ivernment in Ken-tuky.
