The secretary said he doesn't
believe the Russians have advanced as far as the United
States in either the antisatellite
or the radar development.
But judging by history, he said
the United States must expect
the Russians to do so in the next
five to seven years.
McNamara said there had been
several successful satellite intercepts at different altitudes extending up to hundreds of miles.

Apollo Test
Flight Success

Saturn 1, the world's mightiest space rocket, thundered to
its 7th straight test flight success today, hurling into orbit an
unmanned model of the project
Apollo moonship.
The flight was the second in a
long series of unmanned Apollo
flights leading to three-ma- n
earth orbital missions and eventually a lunar landing. The rockets and spacecraft are early
versions of hardware being developed for the moon journeys.
The launching was observed
today by nine of the nation's astronauts, some of whom may be
crewmen on moonflights late in
this decade.
The mammoth Saturn 1, which
is about 200 feet tall and weighs
570 tons, blazed skyward at 11:23
a.m. EST under the tremendous
force of 1.5 million pounds of
thrust generated by the world's
greatest rocket powerplant.

Construction of the University's Somerset Community College got underway officially this
with groundbreaking
morning
ceremonies at the site.
Occupancy of the new college
building is scheduled for the fall
term in 1965. Actual construction
work on the project will begin
Monday.
Somerset is one of five locations named for community colleges in a bill which passed the
State Legislature in February,
1962. The estimated cost of the
building is $648,292.
Principal guests at the groundbreaking ceremonies today were
Governor Edward T. Breathitt,
Dr. John Oswald, president of
the University; Dr. Ellis Hartford, director of UK's Community Colleges, and former Governor Bert T. Combs.
Dr. Oswald led a delegation of
13 persons from the University.
Construction plans call for a

which engaged a University
staff member for six weeks
this summer.
In essence this was the job
that Don Leak, campus YMCA
terials up

a

director, was sent to Lima, Peru,
to do. He served as the leader
of 12 American students in a
community development project.
However, Don has returned to
this country with more than
memories of hard labor. Living
from the North
in
American community and its way
of life, the YMCA director and
his group of student volunteers
found that they experienced a
series of "cultural shocks" and
subsequent value assessments.
Discussing the shocks which
resulted from orientation to life

even later."
The YMCA director continued
by saying, "We found that the
way of life in the UJS. is not
necessarily ordained by God. but
one of a number of alternatives
objectively viewed by Peruvians."
He added that sufficient food,
clothing, and housing are more
needed by the people of Peru
than such luxury items as sanitation and modern planning.
Although a good deal of their
time was spent traveling through
the mountainous rural areas, the
group was based in
Leicia, a suburb of Lima. Together with 12 Peruvian students
who were recruited by the YMCA
there, Don and his fellow Americans helped with building a
school.
The building project for which
the YMCA members were sent to
Peru was at first a source of
tension In their relations with
the people of the town.
"Until the people discovered
that we weren't there to do for
them," Mr. Leak said, "but, to
help them do for themselves, our
presence was greatly resented.
After they realized that we had
come to assist and not to impose
our wuys upon them, we received a large response."
Mr. Ieuk added that some of
the people then enthusiastically

there was sure to

joined in the building project.
"But," he said, "the community
was still very divided about the
school and some hoped that it
would never be completed, including the principal of the
school who said it tired her to
climb the hill to reach it."
Discussing the town which was
his summer home, the YMCA director said, "Leicia has been
called the worst, most depressing,
and most hopeless community in
Lima. Yet progress is taking
place and local pride is slowly
developing."
"Unfortunately," he commented, "too few people outside this
slum are interested in lending
personal and technical assistance."
The group found many obstacles before them during their
stay in the South American country. The language barrier hampered communication; the water
was not safe for them to drink.
They grew accustomed to being
called "gringos" and concentrated all their efforts on adapting themselves to the Peruvian
social order.
"Out of our travel in Peru,"
said Don. "out of our work in
Leicia, and our friendship with
Peruvian students have come
some reflections ubout ourselves.

"Today women live longer, and are younger longer," says
Mrs Harmriett Rose, acting director of the University Coun
seling and Testing Service.
bands were pictured as every-

The problem the modern woman faces, then, in contrast to
her earlier counterparts, is that
of what to do after her children
have left home. This, Mrs. Rose
feels, is the crux of the problem
of the changing roles of women
today.
"Previously," Mrs. Rose said,
"a woman could expect to live
an average of 17 years after her
last child was reared. Today,
thanks to modern medical science, she may expect to spend
35 or more years. That's too long
to be just a grandmother."
Mrs. Rose said that several
women of means came to her
recently with the problem of
what to do with the rest of their
lives. She said, "A woman can
spend only so many years raising money for the Community
Chest and preparing luncheons
for already overfed clubwomen."
According to a book by the
wife of Supreme Court Justice
Goldberg, which Mrs. Rose quoted, women feel guilty about the
they get by being
happiness
away from their homes and
families, and especially so if it
isn't financial necessity which
takes them away.
But Mrs. Rose views as a myth
the idea thai a woman's place Is
In the home. "With our modern
technology, a woman isn't as
essential to the running of her
home today as she was years
ago. After all, how much challenge is there to pushing buttons?"
Before World War II, Mrs.
Rose said, it was commonly accepted that women simply did
not work. There was no question
as to her place. With the advent
of the war, however,
women
moved into all types of industries to take over for the men in
the services.
After the war, the mass media
"especially advertising," Mrs.
Rose pointed out began to stress
the joys of togetherness, Hus

thing from cooks to maids, and
women were conMered to be
absolutely miserable in the busi-

ness world.
For a time, according to Mrs.
Rose, "it was even considered a
mistake to send women to college. It made them dissatisfied.
But," she added, 'lack of college
education also make them poor
mothers."
College education rids a woman of the
that leads to overprotectition
decidedly bad for the child, to
say nothing of the mother.
"The only thing about children," Mrs. Rose said, "is that
they inevitably grow old. You
just can't keep a baby around
the house."
And for these reasons, Mrs.
Rose feels that "a woman can't
be Just a wife and mother all her
life." Thirty-fiv- e
empty years
after the children are gone is an
awfully bleak picture to those
who aren't prepared for it.
What can young women do,
then, to keep themselves from
falling into this abyss? The best
thing, Mrs. Rose said, is to "plan
for a career just as if you were a
man, and planned to pursue it
for a lifetime.
"Even though you may not use
your skills for years after you've
accumulated them, they're not
so far lost that a refresher course
ortwo wouldn't bring them back.
Then the door won't be completely shut behind you when
your children are grown. YouH
have something to go back to."

The never-neve- r

No matter, the point is that for
generations women have been living
up to their fickle reputations with

have done a flip flop with such
fashions as the Italian cut,
feather cut, bouffant, teased,
Beatle cut,

to geranium red.
All of these fads and fancies have
been endured and the snickers, smirks
and smiles were enjoyed out of hearing range of the fashion conscious
ladies. Now comes the ultimate the

Letters
To The Editor of The Kernel:
We have been treated by Mr.
Ralph McGill to several rather
lengthy essays on the intricacies of
New York politics, which I am beginning to find somewhat tiring.
While the candidacy of Robert Kennedy for the United States Senate may
be of some interest to us because he
is a nationally known figure, the political fortunes of Carmine DeSapio and
the population composition changes
of Greenwich Village would seem to
be of less than intense importance to
UK students.
I believe that since UK is located
here, and not in New York City, you
might try to find material that is of
greater relevance to residents of Lexington and of Kentucky.

Mississippi Democratic Bolt
Federal Spending
By RALPH McGILL
Mississippi's dolorous Democrats,
alienated from party loyalty for more
than a decade, have met and agreed
to permit the names of Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey to appear
on the ballot. They consented to the
Democratic label only after Gov. Johnson had spoken for Mr. Goldwater's
election and said the plan would make
it easier to defeat the Democratic ticket in Mississippi. Angry, and seemingly in vindictive mood, they displayed hostile banners and pledged to
vote GOP.
In 1918 the Mississippi Democrats
walked out to support South Carolina's Strom Thurmond, hero of the
Dixiecrat party. In 19G0 they cast
their electoral votes for Virginia's Sen.
Byrd.
Nowhere in the South has there
been more consistent criticism of
"federal expenditures" than in Mississippi. Each year a state business group,
also hostile to "Washington," issues a
statement giving Mississippi's federal
tax payments but failing to print
the total of federal expenditures in
the state. Newspapers in the capital
city, and elsewhere, carefully nurse
this misrepresentation.
The Southern states are in various
stages of development from the underdeveloped status that is the fate of
every region or country that has long
dejKnded on an agricultural economy.
All profit more from federal spending
than do other states.
Hut Mississippi is the best cared
for of all. No other state has so massive a slake in federal spending. If
Washington were to "save" as a reaction to the constant Mississippi
criticism of "government spending"
and cut oil aid fiom the federal
the result would be disaster
lor the Magnolia state.
Mississippi's taxpayers furnish the
smallest share of federal expendi-lines- .
In Wl federal lax collections
in Mississippi were $270,793,000, of
which !i 19,380,000 was income tax.

The New Atomic Era

But during the year 1962 federal expenditures in the state amounted to
This meant that for
$644,617,217.
every $3 paid in federal taxes the federal government spent $6.50 in support of the economy of Mississippi.
Yet, there goes on in Mississippi,
day in and day out, a continual attack on undefined federal spending,
federal waste, federal extravagance.
The fact is that federal spending is
the major support of the state's economy.
It might be well, for a year, to
respond to the demands of Mississippi's politicians and public voices
for reduction of spending to save more
than $600 million by simply withholding the federal spending from the
state. That, of course, is not what they
want. They want to have it both ways
to damn the federal government as
a spender and yet draw heavily on
federal funds to keep their economy
going.
Mississippi fervently supports, as
do other cotton states, the generous
price support loans on cotton. But
only in Mississippi are efforts by Democrats and Republicans to reduce
these loans attacked by congressmen
ami newspapers as the efforts of "left-winDemocrats." (They do not seem
to have noticed that Sen. Goldwater
is pledged to end price suport.) The
fact that Sen. Harry Byrd once led
such an attempt apparently escaped
them. Mississippi's economy also receives enormous boosts from capital
that tomes into the state for flood
control and soil conservation work.
This is not regarded as "socialistic."
No region has so much to gain
from existing federal olicies and the
natural resources development acts

Quietly, over the past two years,
era of economical
the
atomic electricity has arrived.
For something so eagerly anticipated, it has until now had relatively
little fanfare.
Americans were first made aware
of it last spring when President Johnson called attention to newly ordered atomic stations that are expected to make electricity as cheaply as
it can be generated from coal in their
areas.
Now the third United Nations
International Conference on the
Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy meeting in Geneva has inaugurated the
new era with reports that the atom
is beginning to compete with coal,
oil, and gas in several countries.
It is a tribute to the
virtues of persistent hard work and
painstaking improvement of engineering details. A periodic dose of enthusiasm has also helped.
When the atomic age itself began
in the
experts forecast it
would take 20 years to achieve economical atomic electric power. Since
then, the attitudes of some experts
and of their political overseers have
swung to extremes of overambitious
visions of earlier victory or of doubt
that it could be achieved before the
1970's or later.

er abandoned the original
forecast that now is being fulfilled.
It is a lesson in maintaining one's
perspective and in the value of patiently following through a

development program in creating a new technology.
It also is interesting that the
United States, Britain, and the Soviet
Union, as well as India and some other European countries, are entering
the atomic power era at roughly the
same time. This era is one that is
dawning widely for all mankind and
not just for one or two favored countries. As such, we welcome it.

Truffant Triumph

'Jules And Jim' Sparkles With Youth
V. HAUTE
Executive Editor

By DAVID

Kernel

We see the three young people
move from youthful exuberance

In "Jules and Jim" Francois Truffaut creates a human
pilgrimage through the seasons of youth the bittersweet
passage from light into
shadow.
The film (scheduled Sunday at the Student Center
Theatre) is the story of three
lives: two men and a woman,
a friendship and two loves.
Jules and Jim are friends; they
discover life together. Together
too,
they discover Catherine,
whom Jim woos and marries, and
with whom Jules is destined to
fall in love.
Truffant has taken these simple
plot elements and constructed
from them a complex exposition
of three personalities. Throughout the film these personalities
reveal themselves through the
multifaceted relationship they

to buildin; mature relationships,
but they are Incapable each for
his own reason of maintaining
them.
As time passes they move closer
to destruction, grasping always
for a way out, never able to find
one. They hold desperately to
each other, but they find each
other insufficient.
Truffaut utilizes light, bright,
quick images to convey the excitement of youth, slowing the
pace and darkening his impressions as the end nears.
The characters bud and blossom in the earlier scenes, from
which they move into the short,
happy summer of their lives. The
leaves turn early, though, and
the autumn approaches soon, accompanied by the melancholy
which characterizes it. At the
close of the film Jules and Catherine escape before winter's cold
cruelty reaches them. Jim is left
to face life with his child.
Truffaut's creation is a thing
of beauty. His camera is able to

Joined the faculty two years ago.
In fact, DuPont wasn't even a

President Dr. Robert E. Long
described DuPont as "brilliant
though not entirely satisfactory"
as he disclosed Thursday that
he had fired the imposter.
"I'm afraid he had us all fooled," Long said. "But I'm sure
the students got something out

of his courses, regardless of his
origins."
Long said DuPont had credentials indicating he was a graduate" of New England College, University of New Hampshire and
Harvard when he was hired.
All went well until Dean Kenneth T. Stringer noticed that the
New Hampshire and Harvard credentials were photostats,
and
lacked the embossed university
seals.
It turned out that DuPont did
graduate from New England College, but had gone to the University of New Hampshire for
only a few weeks and had never
attended Harvard.
Long said the students who had
received failing grades under
"professor" DuPont will have
them raised to "satisfactory."
