"The Imaginary Invalid," a three-ac- t
comedy by Moliere, opened
last night the Centennial Summer Theater presented by the drama

department under the direction and management of Charles Dickens,
assistant professor of drama.
The production will continue each night in the Guignol Theater
through Sunday. Curtain time is 8:30.
"The Imaginary Invalid" concerns a confirmed hypochrondriac,
Argon, who has no scruples against offering his daughter, Angelique,
in marriage to his physician's nephew, Dr. Diaforius, in order to
lessen his medical expenses.
Veteran Guignol actress Peggy Kelley and Dickens play the
leading roles in the drama. Miss Kelley is cast as Toinette,
maid, and Argon is portrayed by Dickens, who has directed
and acted 12 seasons of summer stock in Wisconsin, Georgia, Vermont, and Kentucky.
Miss Kelley, a UK alumna from Lexington, has played leading
roles in Guignol productions of "The Infernal Machine," "Saint
Joan," "Summer and Smoke," and "Harvey." She also has done
summer theater at the Dorset Playhouse and at Sturbridge Village,

why a group of University students pool musical

talents and play the old American jazz of an earlier era.
They ask, "What are we doing now that reflects what we feel and what we are at this place
and this time?"
(They realize the year is 1965 and the place is
the UK campus.)
And they answer, "We find where we arc in
jazz music. There is no real sense of identification
in rock and roll. Even in oilier modern types of
music there is no opportunity to show yourself."
They know they have found something in
American jazz. As they searched and found, others
have been attracted as listeners, as followers, as
identifiers and the mania that is not a madness
but an enthusiasm has added high notes of advocacy wherever the group appears, even when they
only gather for a rehearsal.
The group that first got together because "we
just love to play" has found that the best expression of themselves is in the old jazz and the old
swing school.
When they have a session, students gather
around to listen to a music that never gets wild,
never "gets way over in left field," and never gets
over the heads of anyone.
Students say they like it because it is "just nice,
soft, pretty music." They find "It is so different,"
and "there is something there that is lacking in
music."

to the tunes of the era. Many are from members of
the "rock and roll" generation.
A few months ago a Cincinnati radio station
heard about the group. Now the station devotes
20 minutes every Sunday night at 10:30 to a jazz
show featuring the group. The station found only
two such jazz outfits in this part of the country.
The other is at the Cincinnati Conservatory of
Music.
Most of the time they are six

piano, drums,
bass, trombone, trumpet, and alto sax. At other
times there are tenor and baritone players in the
sax section.
They have played at a dance for a group of
insurance executives and for the opening of a
billiard parlor. On a recent Sunday, a
fraternity sponsored them in a campus concert.
Wherever they go, they generate enthusiasm.
Jim Wonnacott of Cleveland plays trumpet,
does the arranging and much of the composing.
Two Louisville boys, Don Heda on the piano and
Don Sullivan on the drums, join with BillGeininer
of Newport on the trombone, Mike Campbell of
Independence with alto sax, and Frank Paynykoof
Clifton, N.J., on the bass, to form a sextet. When
they are eight, Dennis Crow of Erlanger and Ed

of the system of inferior Negro schools
maintained in some states, a number of
Negro teachers are simply unable to meet
the teaching standards demanded by those
states for white and integrated schools.
It is wrong to deprive a Negro teacher
of a livelihood in her chosen profession,
virtually the only profession which in the
past has been really open to Negro women
in the South. If the educational opportunities of Negro teachers have been inferior
to those provided for white teachers, it is
now time to correct this injustice.
We suspect that it will eventually be

Muddy waters of U.S. education

By RALPH MCG1LL
full quarter of our population is deep
in the economic depths that are confined
below the poverty line. Many persons, including an increasing number of those so
confined, are asking why this is so, and a
search goes on to discover the answers.
One thing is held in common by all
those submerged in poverty. This common
holding is a lack of "education." But we
need to go beneath this word. Today we
have rather glibly and with obvious oversimplification put education within two
major cages "a high school education"
A

y
and a "college education." This
classification has led us into trouble.
Today, with colleges and universities
bursting at the seams, all things are not
well in the groves of academe, and they are
even more unwell in the forests where the
PTAs, school boards and county commistoo-eas-

sioners roar.
Not only are the elementary and secondary schools too crowded, teachers today
are largely dissatisfied and overworked.
Many cities and counties have a tax income
that will not pay the bills; so they simply
let the schools drift in the waters of inade-

quacy. Those cities and county boards

that have enlightened population majorities that will tax themselves to educate
their children encounter great resistance
to it.

There also is an uneasy feeling among
teachers and educators that with the exception of a few school systems, programs are
not adequate.
Yet, when these uneasy feelings are
translated into changes indicated by mod- -

em educational research, resistance is fierce
and unrelenting. It has been known for at
least a decade, for example, that elementary and secondary systems should break
down the old grade arrangement and substitute a plan by which pupils are separated
into more workable groups. We have learned
that children do not learn at the same pace.
We know that those who come from deprived environments will reflect the poverty of mental alertness and literacy found
in such environments.
The experience of this year's "head
start" teaching of
children
from some of the nation's poverty areas has
in one year produced irrefutable support
of the need to make bold innovations not
merely in elementary school but in kindergarten and nursery schools.
Educators have known for a good many
years that our elementary school systems
not only should include opportunity for the
faster learners to go at their won pace, but
also that slower learners should have an
opportunity to discover their own pace, to
be given remedial help, and to be a part of
a process that enables both teacher and
pupil to discover what can be done to move
the slower learner along. Perhaps he is not
to be college material, but he might be a
most competent pupil in one of the newer
vocational schools featuring modern technology. Under the old lock-ste- p
grade system it was not possible to discover these
things.
Yet, opposition to it is even more irrational and frantic if changes are attempted
in the elementary grades. It is hazardous
to both superintendents and school boards
to attempt innovations in the public
schools, though more and more systems
slowly are accepting such innovations.
Opposition where it is not strongly met
with facts can become ferocious. This opposition argues that all pupils should be
"treated alike." The old grade system did
not, of course, treat everyone alike. It slows
those able to go ahead.
So it is that in too many communities
the pressure to "treat" all pupils "alike"
and "to give them all the same chance"
continues to confuse and distort the problem of doing what is best for the child.
The waters of American education continually are muddied by failure of school
boards and the public to accept changes
indicated by educational research of the
past two decades, especially the last one.

New sorority to colonize

Another national sorority has accepted the Panhellenic Council's
invitation to colonize at the University.
Gamma Phi Beta colonized during the middle of April. The
sorority at that time pledged 16 women.
The newest sorority is Alpha Chi Omega, which will colonize in
the fall following formal rush. Alpha Chi Omega chapter will bring
the number of sororities on campus to 14.
Formal rush will close bid day, Sept. 6. The new sorority will
colonize Sept.
Informal rush will open then for all 14 sororities
through Dec. 1.
Alpha Chi Omega was founded Oct. 15,1885, at DePauw University. It was the first national social organization to require a certain scholastic average for initiation and the first to give alumnae
guidance in the form of chapter advisory boards.
"The sorority also provides student loans, undergraduate scholarships, and fellowships to members," said Betty Jo Palmer, Panhellenic adviser. She added that membership policies in the sorority
arc based on academic interests, leadership ability, and character.
The chapter will be the first in Kentucky, the nearest being at
the University of Cincinnati. The sorority has 99 chapters, three
colonies, and 250 alumnae chapters and clubs. Total membership in
the U.S. is 56,805.
Alpha Chi Omega will send a graduate assistant to UK to sit
on the Panhellenic Council as a nonvoting member and who will
help establish the chapter when it colonizes. National officers will
also visit the campus to assist colonization.

and skills in working with student
teachers, especially when one or
the other of them is of a different

Dr. Powell, chairman of the
college's Division of Instruction
and director of student teaching,
added, "As a prerequisite for the
effective role as model and guide,
the supervising teacher must be
aware of and knowledgeable
about the sources of resistance in
himself as well as in the people
with whom he is working. Furthermore, he must have the ability
to diagnose school and community problems and to develop a

The Summer Orchestra will
hold rehearsals in Room 22 of the
Fine Arts Building at 7:30 p.m.
on Mondays and Thursdays. The

The College of Nursing has
received full accreditation from
the National League of Nursing
Collegiate Board of Review, according to Dean Marcia Dake.
The college, which graduated
its first class in 1964, is now one
of three fully accredited nursing
colleges in Kentucky that offer
the baccalaureate degree. Of 177
such colleges in the United States,
119 have been accredited by the
national organization.
"This means that the college
ranks with the best in the country," said Dr. May Sanders, assistant dean of the college and associate professor of nursing.
"Although the college was recognized by the state agency, the
Kentucky Board of Nurse Education and Nurse Registration, some
time ago, it is the first official
recognition wc have had on the
national level," Dr. Sanders said.
She said accreditation was delayed a year because the college revamped its curriculum.
The college will have about 31
seniors, 46 juniors, 50 sophofreshmen bemores, and
ginning work at the fall semester.
No nursing program is offered
during the summer session, although basic, or general education, courses are offered.

a message to the Nation's college students. ..
Inspiring causes have always fired the
imagination of students.
Today the United States is committed
to the greatest humanitarian cause in its
history a massive counterattack on the
causes of poverty, which are robbing
35,000,000 Americans of the opportunities most of us are free to pursue because we had the advantage of a decent
start in life. That start has been denied
of the nation's people. Thirto
teen million of them are children.
This is a moment in history for the
fortunate to help the least privileged of
their fellow citizens. You can help this
summer, or for a full year if you choose,
as a volunteer in the War on Poverty.
In July and August, 30,000 volunteers
will be needed in their own communities
to assist four- - and
children
of the poor through Project Head Start
Child Development Centers. Thousands
more are needed to live and work among
poor families by enlisting in VISTA, the
domestic Peace Corps.
In Head Start, volunteers work
with teachers, social workers,
doctors, and other professionals to give
children advantages which
can change the patterns of their lives.
Many of these children have never held
a doll, never scribbled with crayons.
Meager environmentr."have blunted their
curiosity. Some are spoken to so rarely
that they are unable to form sentences.
Head Start volunteers will read to children, take them on outings to zoos and
one-fift-

parks, organize creative play fc them,
and help build the security and

they need to succeed in

school. The rewards come when a withdrawn child begins to ask questions
