Representatives for, each of
four presidential candidates "had
their say" Wednesday night as
they participated in a political
debate, sponsored by the Haggin
Hall Contemporary Issues Forum.
With a great deal of their
discussion devoted to personalities, each representative received
time to project the views of his
candidate and defend the positions against the questioning and
charges from his opponents.
The four parties and their
candidates represented in the debate were Fred Halstead, Socialist Workers Party; Hubert
Humphrey, Democratic Party;
Richard Nixon, Republican Party
and George Wallace, American
Independent Party.
University students acting as
representatives for the candidates
were Mike Fallahay, John Meis-bura first year law student,

Trustees' Action Could Make
Pharmacy School One Of Best
By REBECCA WESTERFIELD

Kernel Staff Writer
Tuesday the Board of Trustees passed a pharmacy program which will give UK one
of the most progressive Colleges
of Pharmacy in the nation. The
Board authorized the creation
of an optional program leading
to a degree of doctor of pharmacy.
Dr. Howard Hopkins, Professor of Pharmacy and Assistant
Dean of Instruction said, pharmacy students may graduate
with a Ph.D. in six years. The
College is now one of the leaders in pharmacy education, offering on an optional basis an
expanded and revised
program in addition to the existprogram.
ing five-yeThe University has shown its
leadreship in the field of pharmacy before. Last May the College presented to the Board a
six-ye-

ar

proposal which is now part of
the curriculum. This proposal
has
significant
changes in the pharmacy B.S.
program.
The changes in the program
have promoted greater interaction between the pharmacist and
the other health professionals
through a Department of Clinical Pharmacy. The Department
makes it possible for pharmacy
students to work with medical
and nursing students in hospitals to observe patients' response to drugs. As Dr. Hopkins emphasized "Pharmacists
must understand more fully how
the body reacts to the intake of
certain drugs."

established

It is thought that the change
of emphasis in the curriculum
should enable pharmacists to
communicate more effectively
with other health practitioners

and with patients, thus assisting the pharmacist in assuming
new and expanding roles in
health care.
The B.S. curriculum coupled
with the new Ph.D. program
will help strengthen the bridge
between the professional practice of pharmacy and the science of pharmacy.
Only five other colleges University of California, University
of Southern California, University of Pacific, University of
Michigan and the Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy and Sciencehave the
program
at present. UK also is the first
College of Pharmacy to put emphasis on clinical study. If the
College can make the programs
successful it could become the
leading College of Pharmacy in
the nation.
six-ye- ar

Lewis DeFoIette, also a first year
law student and Alex Dunlap,
the
of the Kentucky
Youth for Wallace organization
and-sophomore majoring in political science, respectively.
Influence From Outside
Fallahay,
first,
speaking
pointed out that the Socialist
Workers Party is on the Kentucky
ballot for the first time. He said
that he considered the party a
way of influencing "fromtheout-side.- "
He stated that many had
tried to "influence the parties
from the inside," but cited the
Chicago convention as proof of
failure to work within the parties.
"My major emphasis," he
said, "is in speaking to those
with liberal and radical lean-

ings."

Fallahay said he considered
Halstead an alternative to the
"machine-drawn- "
candidates
and "another four years of the
same endless cycle."
He then stated what he said
was Halstead's platform. He included two major points: ending
the war in Vietnam and giving
black control to black communities.
He closed by reminding the
group that Halstead will be at
the University on Sunday, Oct.
27.

Meisburg, the second speaker,
began by challenging a statement
by Wallace that "there is no
difference between the positions
of Humphrey and Nixon." He
charged that Nixon has been
"evasive on theissues" and holds
"conservative" views.
The central issue, Meisburg
told his audience, is, "Can we
afford retreat and passivity for
four years?"
The Democratic representative then stated his reasons for
supporting Humphrey which included Humphrey's "answers to
the great issues," his "record of
leadership, superior judgment"
and the necessity of "stopping
Wallace."
Meisburg next outlined Humphrey's position on issues such

others."

On foreign policy, DeFoIette
said that the U.S. prestige is

"at its lowest."
As the last speaker, Dunlap

appealed to his audience to regard Wallace as "guaranteeing
liberties." He stated that this
was Wallace's promise.
He also emphasized that Wallace "stands for law and order"
and not for riots. He said that
Wallace sees this as the difference between "dissent and treason."
Dunlap emphasized what he
said was "the possibility that
Wallace could get elected." He
gave statistics to show what Wallace's position could be if either

as Vietnam, civil rights, social
legislation and the nuclear treaty.
He charged that Nixon uses evasive techniques in commenting
on these issues.
"Nixon did not get the nickname 'Tricky Dick by chance,"
he said. "It stands for his position as an evasive politician."
Meisburg then attacked Wallace and charged that he has
"deceived millions of Americans."
"The new George is really the
old George," he said.
He ended by stating that
Humphrey is the "one man who
can take up where three of the
F.
Americans John
greatest
Kennedy, Martin Luther King
and Robert F. Kennedy left off."
As the third speaker, DeFoIette charged that the two
previous speakers had "attacked
the opponents, rather than the issues."
Tom Country
The Nixon representative then
presented an examination of the
Johnson-Humphre- y
administration. On domestic issues, he
charged that the "country is torn
apart," and that the Democratic
administration has "spent too
much money." He said much
of Nixon's policies are directed
not to "use dollars to help people, but to help people aid

Eaton: A New Look At The Old South
THE CIVILIZATION
OF
THE OLD SOUTH, by Dr. Clement Eaton, University of Ken-

tucky Press.
By FRANK II. BAILEY
In this election year, much
has been written about the South.
We have been bored by demagogic descriptions of Ceorge
Wallace, sociologial profiles of
the Southern voter, and the somber sounds of a potential South-cause- d
election stalemate.
But there is more to the South
than what goes on there today.
For a perspetive of why the South
is what it is, The Civilization
Of The Old South, printed by

the University Press and edited
by acting president, Dr. Albert
D. Kirwan, is helpful.
The book is a compilation of
's
some of the writings of Dr.
former colleague in the
UK history department, Dr. Clement Eaton. Dr. Kirwan sought
to run the gamut of the story of
the old South, going from people
to their politics, humor to hate,
and intellect to ignorance.
Few current reviews get by
without some glib quip that tries
to place the essence of a work in
a nutshell. If this vulgar vogue
were to be employed here, the
pundit would try to push this
Kir-wan-

book as a somewhat reluctant
retreat from the rationale of a
romantic region.
But "Civilization Of The Old
South" deserves a much better
fate. Dr. Eaton, regarded as one
of the leading scholars on the
intellectual and cultural history
of the Old South, writes with a
style that is fluid and never boring. Although the work tends to
drag in spots, the reader does
not find it difficult to get over
this somewhat uneven terrain of
words and upon an enjoyable

plateau.

The readable Eaton style permits those prone to fantasy a
glimpse into the private lives
of men and women, whose public
lives bent the course of the nation's history. Dr. Kirwan chose
well w hen he elected to reproduce
those parts of Eaton's works that
allow the reader to examine the
intellectual reasons why these
lions of the national past acted as
they did, pointing out that these

were not always for the most unselfish of reasons.
"Civilization Of The Old
South" is at its worst when
Eaton goes the empiricist's route.
Hut these patches of numbers and
dates are fortunately quite periodic and do not detract noticeably
from the work as a whole.
The only other criticism of
the book is one that can be
leveled at many edited works
of this type. It is glaringly inconsistent in places, going from
moments where much depth of
thought is demonstrated to spaces
.where only a brief overview has
been taken. But it is an excellent
short view of why the South has
some of the problems that we
read about in today's headlines.
It is a book of perspective and
romance of a region, and it needs
not the pundit's pushing.

tional effects began here about
four years ago in a joint effort
between engineers and psychologists. In 1965 the centrifuge
idea was adopted.
UK agreed to provide a building for the centrifuge and NASA
provided the funds for the actual construction and research.
A key figure in the project
has been Tom Sharp, a research
associate. He designed and
supervised the construction of
both the centrifuge and the
building that houses it. Mr.
Sharp also designed or helped
build most of the research equipment involved in the project.

A unique feature of the centrifuge is the fact that experiments using it must be programmed and fed into a computer which then manipulates
the centrifuge. The super computer which runs the ccntri-lug- e
is an IHM Data Aquisition
and Control System which is
housed in a control room above
the machine.

Construction of the centrifuge
has brought substantial federal
funds to UK. The instrument is
also capable of being useful to

many other research teams in
other fields.
One of the most important
advantages of the centrifuge is
that it has given many students
the opportunity for actual experience in their fields.
Hchind all these facets of the
project is Dr. Karl Lange, a
native of Germany and a naturalized citizen. Among !.. many

"A Sleep of Prisoners." The series is intended to appeal to everyone while maintaining a religious core.
The play, written during
World War II, reflects the impression of war on the minds
of the people. In a series of
dream allegories, the characters
play out the parts of religious
figures.
"A Sleep of Prisoners" is concerned with universal questions.
It will be presented Friday,
Oct 25, at 7:00 p.m. in Memorial
Hall. Actors are from the Dramatics Company of LaC range

"The University is interested
in streamlining its program of
developing this new type of uncomplicated dosage for many reasons," he added, "and at present,
we are in the evaluation stage. Wc
hope to establish guidelines for
other institutions who may be
interested in using unit dosage."
A unit dose according to But-l"is a quantity of medication
enough for one dose, adequately
labeled, distributed in package
form, administered directly to
the patient without being measured or poured."
The Medical Center already
distributes much of its medication to patients in this form,
consisting of solid oral medicine, liquids, tablets and
products.
Since the program is particularly interested in reducing error, Butler explained what this
means in medical terms. "An
error," he explained, "is anything that is wrong with the
dose." Nurses who are in charge
of administering
dosages to
patients at certain times of the
day find it next to impossible to
get around to all the patients
at the exact time that the dosage
is required, thus causing an error,
according to Butler.
Unit dosage eliminates this
because medication will already
be labeled, measured and can
be administered to the patient
quicker.
Other institutions which have
experimented with unit dosage
have found that in some cases,
nursing staffs have been reduced
et

not be stored for more than 48
hours, and these have not been
packaged in suitable form yet.
"This program is being
studied extensively by the University because the public will
gain more respect for drugs if
they know what they're taking,"
said Mr. Paul F. Parker, director
of Pharmacy Central Supply and
professor and chairman of the
Department of Clinical Pharmacy
of the College of Pharmacy.
Butler explained the future
expectations of the program besides insuring safety to the
patient as "selling the concept
of the unit dose" to other institutions interested in the program.
The "unit dosage system" is
a
study. The University
has been concerned for the past
three years with the effects on

simply because of the effect which
unit dosage has had on saving
time, added Butler. They also
get their jobs done more accurately. "As much as 10 percent
of some nursing staffs have been
eliminated," said Butler, "but
only time will really tell," he
added.
In studying the desirability
of the unit dose, Butler commented, "Over 50 percent of the
dosages normally prescribed by
physicians are now available in

units."
"The Clinical Pharmacy

De-

partment packages its own medications on a routine basis," he
said, "except for those 'extemporaneous' ones," meaning drugs
which are not stable enough to
be packaged. He explained that
there are some drugs which can

pharmacists and in achieving
safety in drug administration in
the hospitals. It is now evaluating
ways of improving the procram.
In answer to what are the
economic implications of the unit
dose, Butler replied, "A few years
ago when disposable needles
came out, they were considered
rather expensive until manufacturers began to produce them in
lager quantities."
He added that now they are
much easier to get at a lower
cost. "It will be the same way
with unit dosage," he said. And
then he added, "Disposable needles, eliminating use of the same
one twice, have obviously reduced the spread of hepatitis,
and is there any way to really
economically estimate what this
has saved?"

The Busts: Tense Times, So Cool It
These are tense times at the
University of Kentucky. Three students and seven other persons have
been busted and more busts are
expected. Police and federal agents
are active in the community, and
indications are that they are working hard to bring the drug traffic
and use in the Lexington and University community under "control."
These activities bring to the
front the major question o
