Aalto Designs Displayed
A photographic

exhibition of

major designs by Finland's leading architect, Alvar Aalto, will
be on view from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
at the Pence Hall Gallery through
April 24.
Alvar Aalto, born 1898, received the American Institute of
Architect's 1963 Gold Medal, the
highest honor that the Institute
bestows. His achievement is not
limited to the field of architecture.
He has also contributed to
interior decoration, furniture and
textile design, and regional and
town planning. Most of the photographs, both black and white
and color, are by G. E. Kidder
Smith, who also wrote the introductory text and explanatory captions and designed the layout of
the panels.
Mr. Smith, winner of the AIA
1963 Architectural Photography
Medal, was commissioned to do
this project specially for this exhibition in which many new
views are published for the first
time.
The show, underwritten by
the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts,
is being circulated nationally by
Institution
the Smithsonian
Traveling Exhibition Service and
is sponsored by the Embassy of

Finland.

Following the introductory
text, three panels cover briefly
ten of Aalto's buildings, including the Sanatorium at Paimio,
the Villa Mairea, the Teacher's
College at Jyvaskyla, and the
Lutheran Church and Town Hall
at Seinajold. Thirty-tw- o
panels
present 11 structures in detail
through photographs, text, and
plans and sections.
Among these designs are the
Library, Viipuri; Cellulose Factory and Housing, Sunila; Town
Hall, Saynatsalo; Vuoksenniska
Church, Imatra; Louis Carre
House, Bazoches, France; the
new cultural center and Lutheran
Church, Wolfsburg, Germany;
and
the apartment house,
Bremen, Germany. One panel
illustrates some of Aalto's furniture and light fixture designs and
the final panel shows the Imatra
Town Plan.

The essence of Aalto's architecture lies in his concern for
nature and his regard for man,
who is the center of his architecture where the rational and
functional are reconciled. Aalto
is deeply influenced by his native
country, where the undulating
landscape is accented by rock
outcroppings and almost entirely
covered by straight, pole-lik- e
trees.
His facades proceed from the
ground as stepped foundations,
which rise and fall according to
the terrain, adjusting both to
the building's interior function
and the external land contour.
A horizontal emphasis is juxtaposed to a vertical subdivision
given by the trees, as evidenced
in the Villa Mairea, the housing
at Sunila, the Town Hall at
Saynatsalo, the church at Imatra,
ahdth'e Carre House in Bazoches.
Aalto's buildings express a
freedom of form, forms often
found in nature, forms that mirror
the structure's purpose. He was
one of the first, along with Frank
Lloyd Wright, to break away
from the white-skinne-d
geometric
cubes of the pre-winternational
style originated by Le Corbusier,
Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe.
Aalto never insists on perpetual innovations, yet his designs
are not monotonous. New ver

* Oppressed Student Press

Student newspapers at many
institutions within the state need
greater freedom if they are to serve
as a forum for dissent and discussion within their colleges.
An old adage states a dog will
not bite the hand that feeds him.
Likewise, a public relations director
or presidential assistant at a state
college, who happens also to be the
adviser to a student newspaper, is
unlikely to allow his young journalists to make charges critical of the
administration.
Too many Kentucky college
papers have
who also hold an administrative-linke- d
position. This situation creates an extreme conflict of interest,
because as an assistant or public
relations director, a man is pledged
to uphold the public image of the
institution. This hardly puts him in
a good position to be a fair adviser
to the college paper, which under
conditions of freedom would have
the right to criticize editorially the
administration or administrative
proposals or print news unfavorable
to the institution.
Perhaps the student; editors are
unwilling to buck administrative
control, direct or subtle, of their
papers because they are unaware of
the possible sources of support they
likely would have in waging their
battles. Faculty members, especially those who are members of the
American Association of University
Professors, would be a likely base of
support since that organization repeatedly has taken stands favorable
to a student press free from any administrative pressure whatsoever.
Most liberal educators accept a free
student press as an important edu- advisers-superviso-

rs

rSl:

cational tool within a college environment, promoting a constant
dialogue between various segments
of the campus community.
Most liberal colleges and universities have found that an honest
portrait, partially drawn through
the student press, makes for a
healthier situation in the long run
fascade. An
than a flimsily-paintehonest admission of faults, along
with a listing of virtues, is a firmer
basis for support of an institution
than a rickety stack of whitewashed
happenings.
UK President John Oswald is
among those liberal administrators
who has recognized the value of a
free student press. Shortly after his
arrival he removed the Kernel from
a situation of strongfaculty control,
delegating responsibility to the
editor through a Board of Student
Publications.
Whatever the cause, a free press
at most state institutions is still
largely a joke. For some reason,
student journalists and faculty
members have been unwilling to
admit to this publicly.
The system of control of the
student newspapers at colleges in
the state, with its maze of overlapping loyalties and long history
of evasion of the issues, needs close
examination. Impetus from within
the oppressed student press itself
would be the most effective.
The upcoming spring meeting of
the Kentucky Intercollegiate Press
Association, planned at Eastern
Kentucky State College, provides
an excellent opportunity for an
honest examination of control of
the press and a starting point for a
unified protest on its abuses.

Lelters To The Editor

LKD Committee Woman
Comments On Editorials
To the Editor of the Kernel:
Scores of students spent months
of hard work planning the Little

Kentucky Derby. One result was
the Johnny Mathis concert. The
Kernel gave no credit for this successful performance in its unfairly
derogatory evaluation of LKD.
Thanks to steering committeemen's ingenuity, attendance at the
Friday and Saturday afternoon programs was the highest I can recall.
The students are to be commended
for exemplary behavior.
Ten students cannot create a
successful weekend alone. LKD involves hundreds.
It would be
to surpass the financial
possible
achievement of past LKD's with the
help of strong corollary organizations, such as the Kernel.
May I point out the following
facts which nullify the Kernel's
charge that committee members
"let top name talent slip through
their lingers."

Now we can be grateful for the

support of thousands of students
and many townspeople and hope
that next year a Kernel staff member will come to help beforehand
instead of criticizing afterward.

vague at present, the U. S. troops
may be invited to leave. The
Catholics or a Ky supported
figure, if not Ky himself, could
retain control of the government,
whereupon the U. S. would probably not be asked to leave. The
third alternative is that the South
Vietnamese Communists could
gain a majority or at least a
large minority share of any new
government with the result that
the U. S. would be requested
to discontinue their military involvement.

From the vague and sometimes conflicting statements that
issue from the Johnson administration, any sort of South Vietnamese coalition with large Com

munist participation would be
an abandonment of the South
Vietnamese people to "Communist aggression." This is something that the President has said
that the U. S. would never do;
though in recent weeks, there
seems to have been some softening on this rigid policy of "no

coalition."

With a country in as much
of a tempest as is South Vietnam,
it is doubtful that even the most
brave election prognosticates
would be willing to predict an
outcome. But of the few timorous
souls that might bet on such a
thing, most would conclude that
the Johnson-supporte- d
Ky regime
would seem, at this moment,
a poor wager.
At any rate, until elections
are held and with the monsoon
season coming on, the ground
war will probably continue to
go badly. Then the U. S. may
have lost its invitation, and with
it its rationalization, for fighting
in Vietnam. For if the U. S.
stays when not officially welcomed, then how can it justify

its whole policy of lighting for
of the
the
South Vietnamese people?

Once again it seems that
American foreign policy has
managed to back itself into a
semantical corner. The U. S.
has committed itself to stop the
spread of Communism wherever
it strikes, while at the sametime

legislative
support that the
President once had is beginning

todiminish.
Thus, the man in the White
House is compelled to go a little
more slowly and to take a little
longer look at the labyrinth in
which he seems to have trapped
himself.

These are the problems the

its best course.

First, the war on the ground
has all but come to a standstill. The American troops are
forced to wait while their allies,
the South Vietnamese, decide
whether they are going to have
to squelch a civil war, brought
on by Buddhist protests, or to
continue their battle against the
these
Vietcong. Undoubtedly,
soldiers have little stomach for
killing the civil protesters.

Football fans will see somee
thing new at the annual
intrasquad football game
to be held at Stoll Field Saturday
at S p.m.
Football coach Charlie Hrad-shaplans to square his first
team offensive and first team defensive units off against each
other under a special scoring
system that has been used in
intrasquad scrimmages.
Under the system the fans
can judge each unit numerically.
The offense scores in the usual
manners, but the defense has a

Defensive points are gained
through
interceptions,

blocked punts, recovered fumbles, and forcing the offense to

punt.

"I think the novelty will be
very interesting," Bradshaw said.
"This way it will keep things

even."

During the scrimmages in
