Dr. James Lieberman of the
U.S. Public Health Service's
audiovisual facility at Atlanta,
Ga., said today's communication
systems have not kept pace with
medical science which "has magnified many times the body of
available medical knowledge.

Alton L. Blakeslee, science
writer for the Associated Press,
said, "Research is paid for with
tax dollars, but this source may
dry up if the public comes to
think research time is wasted, or
that the money is only lining
someone else's pocket." He added
that because of this, the public
should be better informed on
what is taking place in scientific
research.

Some speakers, including the
"Voice of Gemini," Paul Haney,
said there is still hope for better
communications in this field.
He said the word "publicity" no
longer has the same stigma
among world scientists that it'
once had.

He blamed the breakdown in
communications in part on the
researchers who, in reporting
their discoveries, use words entirely foreign to the public.

Professor Gets Medicare Post
Bost To Serve As Deputy Director
Howard L. Bost, assistant vice president of the
University Medical Center, has been named Deputy Director of the federal medicare program.
The announcement of Dr. Bost's appointment
was made today by Robert M. Ball, commissioner
of Social Security.
Dr. Bost came to the Medical Center in 1956 to
take part in the planning and development of the
$27 million educational and research center.
He also is professor of community medicine in
the College of Medicine and has been teaching in
the field of health economics.
In 1957, Dr. Bost served with the Governor's
Commission on the Study of Indigent Medical
Care, and subsequently helped to draft the legislation that treated Kentucky's Medical Assistance
program in 1900.

Dr. Bost is also chairman of the Kentucky Mental Health Planning Commission, chairman of the
Medical Care Section of the American Public
Health Association, a member of the Governing
Council, past president of the American Society of
Public Administration and a member of the
American Economic Association.

Sex According To Hefner

Coeds Look At Playboy

Sex according

to Flayboy magazine editor
n
Hugh Hefner, was discussed by a
panel sponsored by the
Tuesday night.

Starting with the occupational aspects of being
a Playboy Bunny, the coeds discussed Hefner's
view of women and premarital sex and its relation to the college student.
"These girls come from all walks of life and
arc given the opportunity to travel, to meet

sex, which is exactly what the pictures try to
arouse in men, their sex drive.

After these brief discussions,
of the philosophy were challenged.
of the panel was that women are

"They are even provided a 'club' mother

who advises them on any problems they might

have."

Seeking to reveal what many women think
concerning Hefner's philosophy, the panelists gave
a brief discription of the role of the female in
his world.

The amazing thing about the
Lanin organization is that while
the beat and style of music is
unique, it is not necessary for

'

Lanin to be waving the baton
in order for dancers to feel that
a Lanin band is on the stand.
Each musician is personally
and thoroughly schooled in the
"Lanin style." They use no sheet,
music, cither while cutting records or playing engagements.
Lanin says glee"It's all
fully.
His rigid training apparently
has paid off, not only for Lanin
but for such musicians asTommy
and Jimmy Dorsey, Red Nichols,
Buss Morgan, Benny Goodman
and the late Glen Miller. At some
point in their careers they all
held down seats with one of the
Lanin orchestras.
Later they each went off to
form their own bands, a fact
from which Lanin derives great
pleasure. "It makes a man feel
good," says Lanin "to think
he might have started, or helped
nurture the careers of so many
fine men."
Lanin's fame has become almost institutional and is so widespread that very few parents
would even think of presenting
their daughters to society without Lanin's being engaged to
provide the music . . . sometimes
18 to 20 years in advance.
"The secret," says Lester,
"is knowing what to play and
when to play it." It is tailor-mad- e
music, music to fit the
party, and, like a musical chameleon, he changes with the
times.
Lanin has played at two Inaugurals but displays his diplomatic ability by refraining from
discussing what goes on at the
Washington and society parties
he musically hosts.

Even though there may be

Lanin Brings Tradition To UK

Lester Lanin, who will appear with his orchestra at UK
tliis Saturday night for the
Founders' Day Hall, is carrying
on the
old musical tradition of a family that has been
playing dance music for royalty,
presidents, high society, and debutante parties the world oyer.
At 15, Lanin sat behind the
drums at debutante parties and
society weddings, but it was
only a few years until he headed
his own organization. Today,
he boasts the reputation as the
"King of High Society Dance
Music."
A
or smoker,
Lanin works at his job nearly
24 hours
ja day. "It's big business,"; he says, "and the expenses alone run into the mil- ions.
As the top society orchestra,
Lanin employs over 800 persons
and has the most traveled band
in the country. His record albums
are best selling dance albums,
and are being danced to and
listened to in almost every country in Europe and Asia. On a
typical night, his bands play
as many as 46 individual engagements and in a year's time
they play for some 4,500 occasions.
"Naturally," says Lanin, "I
myself can only be in one place
at a time, but sometimes in
New York I am jumping between

For parties I can not attend,

* The Role Of Protest
Dr. Thomas Spragcns, president of Centre College in Danville, labeled protest as the "pep
rally before the game rather than
the game itself."
Dr. Spragens warned against
the situation in which protest becomes the end rather than the
means to an end.
His words are wise and contain a grain of solid truth for
the student who would do something about the society in which
he lived, but implied within Dr.
Spragens remarks was the innuendo that a protest perhaps is
not justified unless the protester
can suggest a "constructive rem-

edy."

We would not agree with the

d
notion that one must
outline a remedy before he protests a situation. One of the func- often-praise-

tions of protests is to bring a
matter before immediate public
attention so that a solution can
be sought by all society's members.
To recognize that a situation
is bad and unjust does not imply a responsibility to suggest a
"solution." Most situations giving
rise to public protest are enormous social issues of the times
civil rights, depersonalization in
large colleges, American foreign
policy with a scope far beyond
that of a simple problem.
The function of protest is more
to illuminate a pressing situation
which somehow has escaped public attention.
It is unrealistic to assume that
one Negro could offer a solution
to the entire civil rights dilemma,
or that one student could suggest
a means of reversing depersonalization in colleges. But they are
the ones who can see the fallacy
of the present situation and can
sound the alarm, urging the larger
society to join them in their search
for improvement.
By having the courage to push
a question from the realm of public apathy to the realm of open
and active consideration, the protesters have done a great service
in American society.
Protest is a dramatic technique,
and one which frequently loses
its impact through overuse. But
often it is the only technique which
can adequately sound the alarm
of some hidden shortcoming.
We would agree with Dr.
Spragens that the protest is the
pep rally, but in many cases it
also serves as the opening kickoff.

We congratulate Sir Bernard and

all those working with him at

not to lessen the warmth of our
earlier congratulations to the Russians but to place on record our
recognition that the British have
lost none of the inventiveness, intelligence and flair which were
always theirs.

Rcma M. Sutton Jr., an Emory

Secretary Rusk praised the

"The integrity of the pledged

This was the big rally promised by a group called Affirmation Vietnam. The group was

Meanwhile, protests against
the war continue around the nation. During the Atlanta rfllly a
group of demonstrators marched
outside the stadium carrying

signs saying, "Affirm Peace
Not War."
More than 100 students at
Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, and
Haverford Colleges, along with
several professors, have just finfast in protest
ished an eight-da- y
of U.S. policy in Vietnam.
On the advice of doctors before the fast, they drank orange
juice to protect their health. They
continued to attend classes and
met daily to discuss Vietnam.
The schools are all in the Philadelphia area.
Edward Hazzard, a senior at
Haverford, said the purpose of

...

the fast was to provide "an
extended period of time during
which extensive discussion can
go on, including study of the
history and development of war,
planning of action suitable to
bring the war to an end, and
to changing root conditions in
America to make such wars unnecessary."
At Stanford University, about
30 faculty
members and 10
teaching assistants left their
classes to protest renewed bombings in North Vietnam. Most
teachers returned to their classes
after
one afternoon during
which two rallies were held to
protest U.S. policy and most
teachers on the campus said classroom obligations would be met.
The rallies were the largest

In addition to adding 51 affiliate groups, the organization
raised more than $60,000 in contributions from corporations and
individuals, plus a ruling from
the Internal Revenue Service that
would make the contributions tax
deductible. The budget calls for
$64,000.

In three months of activity,
the organization has also collected the signatures of more than

There was no heckling of
speakers, most of whom received
moderate applause.
At Yale, an ad hoc group of
faculty and students announced
that it hoped to shut down Yale
for one day in protest to the war
in general and the renewed bombings specifically.

FLOOD'S FRIENDS
Rep. Daniel J. Flood, the
colortui and popular Democratic
Congressmen from Pennsylvania,
is getting into deep,' right wing
water in his furious campaign
against the new wholly justifiable Panama Canal treaty being
negotiated by President Johnte

son.

Flood raised eyebrows among
his Democratic colleagues with
two insertions in the Congressional Record on Jan. 13. First
was an article about the Canal
controversy clipped from Human Events, an extreme right
wing publication. Next, Flood
put in the Record a vicious attack on Mr. Johnson's Canal
policy written by a notorious
extremist named Harold Lord
Varney.
Varney's article appeared in
American Opinion, the regular
publication of the John Birch
Society. Over the years Varney

an application for contributions

A NON-FIELWORKER
n
Larry Goodwyn, a
liberal writer and political worker in Texas, most definitely will
not be Texas field man for the
proposed "Alliance of New Politics" a leftist coalition aimed
against Congressional supporters
of President Johnson's Vietnam
policy.
We reported last week that
a secret Chicago meeting of
leftists had discussed Goodwyn
as Texas staff man for the new
political action group. This was
entirely accurate. But nobody
hd bothered to ask Goodwyn
to accept the job. If they had,
the answer would have been
