To Library

The research division of the
Democratic National Committee
has deposited a large part of its
research materials and a collection of duplicate records in the
Margaret I. King Library.
Dr. Bennett II. Wall, associate professor of history, has
been the chief UK agent in
the newly arrived items.
"It is very important for the
University to be recognized as a
depository for official records in
the Democratic Party," Dr. Wall
said. "UK also will attempt to
increase its materials on the 1965
presidential election, although it
already has a fine collection of
election materials, including campaign buttons and badges."
Dr. Wall said that the Democratic National Committee re0
letters each
ceives
year, which usually are destroyed
later. He said he hopes that the
committee will give them to UK
in the future or at least permit
UK to duplicate some of them.
He pointed out, however, that
this will not include financial
records or correspondence about
fund raising.
President John Oswald made
this statement concerning the
shipment:
"These books and materials
are a useful and welcome addition to our special collections.
The rich source materials contained in the various party" research publications and releases
will enrich research in American
political history and in party organization.
"Th University will continue
its effort to develop and add to
these collections. We consider of
great significance the fact that
such materials are deposited only
at two places the National Archives and at the University. The
officials of the Democratic National Committee who recognized the value to future scholars of
such records are to be commended. By placing them at the
University they have enriched
both the University and generations of scholars who will be
interested in the American political system and its operation."
The Republican Party has given some records to UK and has
been cooperative over the years,
but its official records are turned
over to an Eastern university.
Much of the Democratic material acquired duplicates existing government documents, but
it provides UK with a very useful second set, according to Dr.
Jacqueline Bull, head of the library's special collections, the
unit in charge of sorting and
cataloging the items.
Dr. Malcolm E. Jewell, associate professor of political science,
said it is most important for
the political organizations to
recognize that their documents
are of public interest and concern.
Dr. Wall pointed out that the
Democratic research division provides basic statistical, economic,
and social data as needed by
speakers, and also issues fact
books and press releases.
It researches issues, voting
trends, and economic analyses
and supplies basic information
from which the party is able to
project platforms and programs,
he said.

Sir Winston Churchill:
Superlative Earned
A bit of the heart of a generation
must surely have died with Winston
Churchill's passing, for he was the
last, and perhaps the greatest, of
the coterie of leaders who fought
World War II.
Those who remember Churchill
will also remember such phrases
as "ration card;" they can call to
mind long lines of troops filing
into warships, carrying with them
the instruments of war; perhaps
they dream infrequently of trenches, of rumbling artillery, of letters,
and letters, and letters. It is these
who remember Roosevelt, Stalin,
Hitler, Musolinni, and, perhaps
most fondly, Churchill.
.They remember the cigar, the
quick smile, and the sign of the
V. They remember the firm resolve
of the bulldogish face.
More than this they remember
the phrases, the verbage which
bound a nation together, and
and which lit a candle of hope in
the darkest of hours.
Superlatives are too frequently
lavished on dead heroes, but in
the case of Winston Churchill it
is only proper to use them, for
he was a man of superlative stature.
To choose from the words that
describe him the most important
of his attributes would be exceedingly difficult. Courage, honor, and
wisdom were representative of the
man, but perhaps the most important characteristic he possessed
was his perspective.
He was a writer, an artist, a
military leader, and a historian,
but, most importantly, he was a
statesman with vision a leader
whose perspective was not limited
to the exigencies of his day.

In a speech before the Commons,
in June 1910, Churchill distilled
the history of the war to that point,
into a few words, addinghis special
insight into its import. In these
sentences he expressed the prevailing philosophy of the war effort,
adding to it his historical insight:
"The Battle of France is over.
I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this
battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. . .Hitler knows
that he will have to break us in
this island or lose the war. If we

can stand up to him, all Europe
may be free and the life of the
world may move forward into the
broad, sunlit uplands. But if we
fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all
that we have known and cared for,
will sink into the abyss of a new
Dark Age.
It was this interpretation of
the war effort and its implementationthat dictate for Winston
Churchill a large place in English
history indeed, in the history of
the world.
Churchill's own description of
Alfred the Great may decades
from now be appropriate for himself:

"We discern across the centuries
a commanding and versatile intelligence, wielding with equal
force the sword of war and of justice; using in defense arms and
policy; cherishing religion, learning, and art in the midst of adversity and danger; welding together a nation, and seeking always
across the feuds and hatreds of the
age a peace which would smile upon the land."

Ruminating on the Virginia and
Kentucky Resolutions as a legitimate topic for presentation in an
American history class I keep wondering what has happened to the
Kentuckians. The stimulant for this
outbrust is the article by Sherry
Keene in the Kentucky Kernel of
Jan. 13, headlined "The Berkeley
Story" and "New Chancellor May
Quell Riots." There was a time
when the views of a Kentucky
statesman were awaited with apprehension by an expectant nation.
Now, the inclination of the
American populace is to sign with

resignation and wonder if the aid
to education proposals will slip
past the House chairman whose
record as a Kentucky legislator
can only suggest bitter opposition
to the betterment of the Commonwealth because of his religious opposition to the incidental educational betterment of a particular
religious sect not his own.

arrive when the younger set, still
unsure of itself, arise to speak again

society are not overcome in a day.
That they are ever overcome

the ooice of youth, touched by the
enlightenment of conscience. However, enthusiasm for the Mississippi
sheriff coaching the all white hillbilly basketball team or the heartless cynic maneuvering for the first
Negro football player to submit to
the gruesome indignities of competition in the Southeastern Conference is not in the spirit of protest as introduced by Madison and
Jefferson.

The physical appearance of the
campus at the University of Kentucky currently can be described
by one word only. It is a Mess!
Every member of the University
community can, and should, share
responsibility during the Centennial Year. The present unsightly
condition of the campus can be
traced directly to two unrelated situations the return of the starlings
about four weeks ago, and the refusal since approximately
mid-Octob- er

of

careless

ny

and thoughtless students to walk
upon the campus sidewalks.
Ridding the campus of starlings is, I know, a difficult and
probably quite costly endeavor,
but every effort should be made
to alleviate this menace. Though
it is not possible to appeal to the
pride of the starlings concerning
the appearance of the campus, it
is possible, I hope, to appeal to
the pride of students. There are
sufficient sidewalks existent on
most areas of the campus to accommodate pedestrian traffic at
almost all times. Nevertheless, during the fall semester of 1964 students blazed trails across the campus which now have become an
unsightly maze of paths, each of
which is an ugly scar upon a
lawn which formerly was moderately
Incredibly, many
students doggedly slosh through
muddy trails in wet weather even
though by so doing they travel
only a few feet less than they do
when walking on paved sidewalks.

Additional walkways are needed in a few areas of the campus
particularly approaches to newly
constructed buildings, and temporary walkways around current construction sites. This situation, however, should not be used as an excuse for the flagrant multilation
of campus lawns. The attitude that
the unsightliness created by new
construction minimizes the importance of maintaining high standards of appearance for the rest
of the campus is indefensible. The
temporary untidiness crea
