"Do You Believe In Predestination?"

Words Govern Men
From rather humble beginnings 12
years ago, the University of Kentucky Foreign Language Conference has
become a meeting recognized not only
in national, but in international academic circles as one of the most foremost conferences of its kind.
Ever since Russia's first Sputnik
e
startled this country into a
introspective examination of its
educational system, the necessity of
excellence in science and languages
has been drummed into the consciousness of a badly scared public. As a
nation, we have at long last come to
long-overdu-

the knowledge that communicating
with other peoples of the world
through an interpreter is hardly equal
to conversing with them in their own
tongues. We have become painfully
aware of the fact that English is
not the international language.
This awakened t interest "in other
peoples, other cultures and other
languages has triggered the passing
of the National Defense Education
Act, with its emphasis on languages
as well as mathematics and science,
revamping of language instruction
programs at all educational levels and,

here at the University, the stiffening
e
of
requirements.
Mindful of the concern manifested
by government and educators over
language education, the University
has additional cause to be proud of
its conference, the only gathering of
comparable size and scope sponsored
by a single institution in the United
States. In its 12 years of steady
growth, the conference has expanded
to including programs on more differentlanguages than any other
foreign-languag-

such meeting.

Taking part this year are scholars
from all parts of the United States,
as well as representatives from the
United Arab Republic, India, Japan,
England, Pakistan,
Iraq, Scotland,
Greece, Canada, Israel, Puerto Rico
and Belgium.
That the UK conference
has
grown from an attendance of 200 to
this, year's 700, gaining an international reputation and attracting leading linguists from all parts of the
world, shows an encouraging awareness of the importance of Benjamin
Disraeli's statement that words, after

interesting for those in politics who like
to keep statistics. First of all, did it show
any noticeable trends? Did it Rive us any
insight as to the outcome of the May
6 election?
The presidential contest will have a
great influence on the vote in the assembly races. In this respect the importance of the vote Wednesday might be
slight.
Despite this factor, party labels were
used in the primary and certain figures
deserve mention.
The total primary vote in November
was 1,402, compared to 1,502 votes
Wednesday, the majority in arts and sciences, commerce and engineering. The
three colleges cast 918 votes last fall and
1,165 this lime.
Polls being open an extra hour Wednev
day could be a factor, but probably more
important were the more interesting
races in all three colleges for both parties.
Last fall 364 voted in the arts and
sciences primaries. Of this number 286,
or 78.6 per cent, voted in the SP primary. Wednesday 453 voted there, 74.4
per cent in the SP race.
The question, then has there been any
change in the political situation in AkS
since last fall? The SP primary last fall
had six candidates seeking one nomination, the
primary race
held. The Campus Party race was different in November. Charlotte Bailey, the
eventual CP nominee, was the only party
candidate in the college who really campaigned in the fall primary.
This week the situation was different.

Four of the six CP primary candidates
made an active effort at the polls, with
three nominations, rather than one, at
stake.
Seven of the eight SP candidates no
ticly campaigned. With all this, the
pattern set itself. As far as the primary
vote indicates, the Students' Party still
has a strong influence in arts and sciences.
ratio is virtuPercentage wise, the SP-Cally unchanged.
In commerce, strongest CP college, its
primary percentage was 40 per cent, up
6.5 per cent from last fall's.
Last fall the Students' Party had a big
commerce primary race when Terry
Kucstcr was seeking a comeback in campus politics. Taylor Jones, meantime, won
easily over Steve Clark.
Wednesday both parties had four candidates, each seeking the college's single
nomination, and interest iti each party
was more equal than in November.
As for total percentages, in the fall
the SP polled 64.5 per cent of the primary vote. This time it got 63 per cent.
The ratio was not substantially changed.
Fluctuations appear in some colleges, but
these are all slight.
This is the jxst primary picture:
If the results of the last election and
its preceding primary are any indication,
we could look for this: The SP should
keep its three arts and sciences scats; education and ag also seem probable lor
it: engineering and commerce seem to
have CP leanings again, even though the
primary vote doesn't indicate it; pharmacy and the Graduate School arc up
for grabs.

The Readers' Form
'Useless' Student Congress
To The Editor:
The Kernel has given excellent coverage to both the Campus and Students' parties' conventions. And now
SDX is going to hold an SC candidate panel. Frankly, it seems to be
both a waste of paper and time.
The coverage of the conventions
was especially amusing in that it gave
the idea that the candidates in each
party had to struggle and work in
smoke-fille- d
rooms in order to attain
the spots on the ballots. The comments on the closeness of the coming
election were really not worth your
"vhile after all, who gives a damn
who wins?
SC on this campus is just another
useless organization. It does nothing,
provides nothing and has no power.
The persons who seek the elective offices" in SC are merely seeking publicity for themselves, and, in the case
of the Greeks, for their organizations.
Never once do they have foremost in
their thoughts the idea that they are
attempting to better their school and
its traditions.
dictatorThe comment "strong-arship which exists today" is, just about
as ridiculous and funny as the "Soapbox' article by Paul Scott. What or
to whom can SC or any of its .members dictate? Honestly now, who even
bothers to listen, let alone pay any
attention to what SC has to say?
It is quite evident where the dicta-- ,
tion is going on. When an organization such as SC has to have a "Faculty Advisory Committee" to approve
what it will discuss in its own meeting, then perhaps the delegates should
wear black shirts and hobnail boots
and salute their leaders with a Sieg
m

Heill

The one good thing that comes from
SC and the two parties is the fact that

they give the students an opportunity
to see our system of government at
work. But only up to a certain point:
our system of government is supposedly one of democracy.
It would seem to me that the candidates up for election this May
should justify the existence of SC

rather than the fact that they should
be elected. Perhaps the students of
this campus are interested in seeing
SC do something for the campus
rather than for a few individuals
and or organizations.

U. S. Symbols 'Smeared'
To The Editor:
In one semester your "angry young
man," Bob Herndon, has used his
artistic talents to smear at least three
of our American symbols: the cross,
the family, and the flag. What next?
Sometime in the future, when he has
finished venting his spleen, it would be
interesting to read an article by him,
or by you who sponsor him, suggesting some more adequate substitutes
for the symbols.
I do not question his right to speak.
However, I do question his wisdom in
blasting, so blindly, those things which
serve to maintain our collusiveness as
a people while we examine, and take
steps to correct, our defects as a nation.
And please I am not so naive as
to think the symbols are sufficient in
themselves for salvation; neither are
they responsible. in themselves for the
ills. Triey serve another purpose. You
will never correct a television picture
by smashing the set.
I. T. Uald.vin

(Nor can you invalidate the truth
of Herndon s lucid observations of
American values and euphoria by criti'
rising his methods. The Editor)
