Senate concerning the calendar.
The chairman of the committee.
Dr. Robert Rudd, said "No one
was particularly dissatisfied with
the calendar. We just wanted a
full appraisal of the merits of
the system. We wanted a concensus judgment of the faculty
and students."
The three-pag- e
qucstionaire
was sent to the entire faculty of
the Lexington campus and the
various Community Colleges. A
10 percent sample of the students
was also selected. The qucstionaire was sent the first week in
December and due in the Office of Institutional Studies Dec.
14.

The respondent was asked to
mark his preference among four
types of calendars in use in colleges and universities, the trimester system, the present UK
system, the quarter system, and
the traditional system.

mester. Finally, the respondent's
reavm for his choice were asked.
d
Members of the
committee are Dr. Robert
Rudd, Dr. Morris R. Cierly, Dr.
Robert R. O. Evans, Dr Robert
Lawson, Dr. Douglas Schwartz,
and Dr. Libert Ockerman. The
committee's full re)rt to the
Senate is due March 1, 1967.
Dr. M. T. McEllistrcm, who
did the statistical work on the
questionaircs, was disappointed
by the percentageof questionaircs
returned by the respondents. "We
sent out about 3,000 questionaircs
and received only a little over

700. The response from the
Gdleges was quite good,
70 percent from the faculty and
ov er 50 percent from the students.
"Results from the Lexington
campus weren't as comprehensive. We got only alxmt 200 out
of 1,000 from the faculty and only
230 out of 1,400 from the students," Dr. McEllistrem said.
But of those questionaircs returned, an overwhelming majority
of them favored the present UK
calendar. For example, out of

The idea evolved out of a sintiliar program now in operation at the University
of Tennessee. Miller said the IFC there
operates the program after which the UK

Miller said IFC plans to continue the

recently announced that more
than 100 Ph.D. degrees will be
awarded next year. There were
81 candidates for the advanced
degree in the Class of 1966,
which also was higher than

The number of undergraduate degrees awarded by UK will

in the U.N.
"Under modern conditions
only great powers can afford the
armaments of modern warfare,"
he declared. "Only the highly industrialized society and a very
large one can maintain the real
armaments, like develop the
atomic bomb and missies. The
small state would just give up.
They can't compete.
"We've never had such a great
concentration of military power.
The U.S. and Russia have enough
power to destroy every man, woman and child in the world seven
times over.
"But, politically, power has
never been so dispersed, because
of the fact that all members of
the U.N. have one vote each."
As empires break up every former
colony knocks on the doors of the
U.N. asking for admittance.
"Since 1955any statethat applies
is admitted to membership, so the
membership has shot up from 51

The financial crisis that is
now hampering the United Nations is "really a political crisis
more than it is a financial one,
because the budget of the U.N.
this year is less than $130 million. The United States could
wipe that off and never notice
it," declared Dr. Vandenbosch;
therefore, "it isn't the money involved but is the political controversy behind it."
At the moment the financial
policy of the U.N. is

Vandenbosch. "How long can an
organization last that adopts this
policy?

"Article 19 (pay fees or expulsion) is now a dead letter,"
he said.

Speaking on the membership
of China in the United Nations,
Dr. Vandenbosch clarified by saying that "the problem is not
membership of China in the
U.N. China is a member but
that there are two competing governments, each claiming the right
to sit in the seat as an organ
of the U.N. as the seat belonging to China. It isn't a question of admitting China, but who

of testing for the United States
in Vietnam, in the economy
at home, and in the political
arena between Republicans and
Democrats," Dr. Edward W.
Weidner, director of the Center
for Developmental Change said
recently.
Dr. Weidner said these several areas are closely intertwined
in many ways. "The outcome of
one test is heavily dependent
on and in turn affects the outcome of another," he added.
He particularly called attention to domestic programs such
as the war on poverty that may
plague the administration of
President Lyndon Johnson.
Calling President Johnson and
Vietnam "the crucial variables"
during 1067, he said that should
the President be unable to
the trend in his sagging
prestige, "the effects on Vietnam, the economy, our domestic programs, and on Democratic
re-'ci-

fortunes would be extremely
severe."
Dr. Weidner a d d e d that
should the Vietnam conflict continue unabated, the effects on
the Democratic and domestic
programs would be "unhappy,"
while the economy would continue to be buoyed up considerably.
He said the war on poverty
program is due for major
changes next year, and that its
director, Sargent Shriver, "is
likely to be replaced."
The program's appropriations
"will be under attack and will
suffer," he said. "Parts of its
program will be transferred to
other agencies such as the

said multiple use must be made
of our school facilities.

Currently, many school plants
are being used only seven or eight
hours a day, 180 days a year. Yet,
when schools are not in session-so- me
70 percent of the
facilities such as gymnasiums, activity rooms, tennis
courts, playing fields and showers
for dressing, remain idle.
time-phys-

ical

There seem to be two distinct
disadvantages in allowing such a
situation to continue. Obviously,
full financial benefits are not being reaped from school properties.
In addition, many community activities are being missed.
Johnson has said,
"Tomorrow's school will be the
center of community life, for the
grownups as well as the children:
a 'shopping center' of human services. It might have a community
health clinic, a public library, a
theater and recreation facilities.

"It will provide formal

educa-

tion for all citizens and it will
not close its doors any more at
3 o'clock. It will employ its buildings around the clock and its teachers around the year. We just cannot afford to have an $S5 billion
plant in this country open less
than 30 percent of the time."
Taxpayers are only getting part
of their money's worth when school
buildings are not fully utilized.
Admittedly, the first responsibility
is in educating the children, and
this should gain top priority in any
use of the school plant. But another
way to receive returns is from the

cultural and physical improvements that now sit in darkness
much of the time in most of our
nation's schools.
has noted, "Of
Nicholson
course, there is more involved in
making our schools neighborhood
recreation centers then merely unlocking the doors and throwing out
the balls. Someone has to be there
to organize, supervise and instruct,
and there are problems of maintenance, insurance, equipment, etc.

"Communities which already
have adopted this approach have
discovered that it costs them only
a few dollars per capita per year.
That's cheap when compared to
the cost of duplicating the trained
staffs and extensive facilities which
schools now employ on a

to L'il Abner? He gives his opinion in such bad taste that his
reviews become repulsive.
Perhaps in watching "Not With
My Wife, You Don't!" he was
searching for a deep, inner meaning he never found. After all, when
Tony Curtis was beating his underwear, the director was trying
to show this man's feelings of inadequacy, wasn't he? I found the
film to be hilariously funny, and
above all, entertaining. Cheee!

Dangers May Lurk In Bigness Of U.S. Education Industry
Education has been a major
American concern from the country's earliest days. The school and
college sprang up beside the shop
and bank. But nobody called education a big industry.
Not so today. Recent figures
show the United States spending
around $60 billion a year for public, private, and industrial education. Some sober economists are
calling it the leading growth industry of our time. Says the president of the Encyclopaedia Britan-nica- :
