The platoon had passed two of its checkpointscrosses on a map used for control
purposes and was almost at its third when
it came to the clearing and halted for a
moment.
At that instant (the soldier recalled that
a buddy was taking a pack of cigarettes
from hisrucksack) the platoon leader shouted:
"those aren't our guys." One of the sergeants yelled: "let's go get 'em."
They had spotted threeor four guerrillas-accou- nts
varied running across a second
clearing 50 yards away.
The platoon wheeled to the right. Some

of the men ran toward the guerrillas. Others
dropped behind fallen trees and began firing.
But almost no one stayed in position to
protect the left flank or the rear.
That, in the opinion of survivors, was
precisely what the enemy had hoped for.
A private first class who was the lead
rifleman on the left, reported:
"They put the heat on us so fast we
didn't have any chance at all. I just got
out of training three months ago, and I
knew what to do, but most of the guys
got so excited. ThoseCharlies started miming
to sucker us in. In a minute, they were
firing at us from all sides."
The young infantryman continued:
"First the guy next to me got hit. I
tried to pull him out, but I couldn't. There
was so much firing going on.
"I kept moving back, moving back, moving back. Then another friend got it in the
neck. I could hear guys crying all over the
place. Then a machine gunner got hit. I
jumped over to his log and tried to get
the gun working again. I got hit hard in
the chest.
"I started again and almost had it loaded.
Then I got it in the head and went out."
Crawling in and out of the elephant grass

The vote also showed narrow
disapproval for any move of the

Nearly 3,000 students voted
on the stadium referendum, setting a record for largest turnout

a unique action in UK Student
Administration relations.

By DICK KIMMINS
Kernel Arts Writer
In March of 1965, 20 students at Lafayette High School got'
together and formed a New Art League.

Flourishing under the

unof-

James Williams, the New Art
League has emerged as a powerLexful force in the
ington art scene.
Williams recieved his education at Morehead and served a
practicum in art at the University of Cincinnati. He teaches
art at Lafayette but takes time
out to continue his professional
work in art.

Founder's Day Ball
Planning Is Confused
The third annual Founder's Day Ball will be celebrated Feb.
in commemoration of the University's 102 birthday.
First held two years ago in honor of UK's Centennial year,
the dance has become an annual event including students, faculty,
alumni, and interested Lexingtonians.
The decision to hold last year's Founder's Day Ball was in
doubt however, since lack of communication and student indance.
terest characterized the first attempt at a major
After much confusion over who would head this year's ball,
the responsibility has been placed in the hands of Student Center Board Vice President Bill Eigel.
The Board had originally been asked to oversee the project
e
and
Barny Arnett had been named committee
chairman.
For unknown reasons, administrative heads decided the
responsibility of handling the Founder's Day Ball should rest
with faculty and alumni, and Col. Alcorn, special assistant to
'President Oswald, was placed in charge of the committee.
However, a third change of heart causing a month's delay
in preparation, has again placed the Founder's Day Ball back
into the hands of the students and the Student Center Board.
Bill Eigel, committee chairman, said a steering committee
was in the process of being organized.
He said the Founder's Day Ball would also feature movies
in the Student Center Theater and activities in the Grille.

hark, the Yuletide is almost upon us and it's time we
turned our thoughts to Christmas shopping.
We'll start with the hardest gift problem of all : what to
give the man who has everything. Well sir, here are some
things I'll bet h& doesn't have: 1) A dentist's chair. 2) A
Mach number. 3) A street map of Perth, Australia. 4)
Fifty pounds of chicken fat. 5) A pack of Personna Super

"What?" you exclaim, your eyebrows leaping in wild
incredulity. "The man who has everything doesn't have
Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades? What arrant nonsense!" you scoff, making a coarse gesture.
But I insist. The man who has everything doesn't have
Personna because everyone in the dorm is always borrowing them. And small wonder Wouldn't you be there with

So here is our first gift suggestion. If you know a man
who shaves with Personna, give him a safe.
Next let us take up the thorny problem of buying gifts
when you have no money. Well sir, there are many wonderful gifts which cost hardly anything. A bottle of good
clear water, for example, is always welcome. A nice smooth
rock makes a charming paperweight. In fact, one Christmas back in my own. college days, these are exactly the
gifts I gave a beauteous coed named Norma Glebe. I took
a rock, a bottle of water, a bit of ribbon, and attached a

Here, the girls chose a commercial pattern and made it in muslin, emphasizing one of the
methods of tailoring. In the special problems class "each girl

How do young men of limited
schooling react in battle?
"I didn't get scared until I
got back to base," said the
private. "Last night I
was terribly shaky, so they gave
me a couple of pillls. This morning I was still awful shaky, but
they said no more pills."
He spent most of the day
writing a letter to his aunt. But,

was lonely.
Asked whether he would be
reluctant to go on partol again
once his platoon was rebuilt, the
private looked blank for a long
minute, turned an unlit cigarette
in his fingers, then replied: "when
they say pack my gear and go,
I go."
One of the wounded, lying in
a hospital bed, disagreed.
"I'll never go again," he said.
"I'd just as soon go to jail as
be on the line again, you see
your buddies get killed like that.

The soldier who later played
dead saw somebody fall and
started back to summon the platoon medic, but before he could
reach him the soldier felt a bullet tear into his leg, then watched
two other men drop four or five
feet away.
The medic "came up and started working on me," the grenadier said. In a short time he
was fatally shot.
Through it all, the forward
artillery observer had been talking to the battalion headquarters,
asking for support. He kept at
it after he was wounded several
times.
When the shells finally came
whistling in, the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Rufus C. Laz-zecircled overhead in a helicopter, thought they were landing
within the platoon position. He
queried his artillery commander
by radio. The artilleryman replied: "yes, sir, they say that's
where they want it."
The artillery and the work of
armed helicopters and jet fighter-bombesaved the platoon from
extinction, according to one of
the men who was unhurt. His
gun had jammed while he was
trying to cover the rear, and he
successfully hid himself from the
enemy with twigs and leaves.
