"The Senate did try last week

"But the House knocked it

The Kentucky senator, nursing a cold, had just completed

mainly about the Southeast Asia

idea of alternative services for
students who do not want to
serve in the military, but work
for the Peace Corps or other
agencies. Enough men must be
available to the armed forces,

Would he approve of alternative service in peace time? "I

* "She's Not Keally My Type Al All
I Just Love Her For Her Money"

Review The Draft
Last week's announcement that
mental standards for the military
will be lowered guarantees implementation of Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara's plan to
"salvage" 100,000 men a year rejected by the draft. The plan, purported to be a link between the War
on Poverty and the nation's defense, should be periodically reviewed to make sure the intended
goals are achieved, not overlooked,
in an attempt merely to man the
war effort.
Under the current plan, 20,000
men will be inducted within the
next nine months for special training and eventual regular service.
It is the first phase of a plan intended to take 100,000 men annually
who are now being rejected for
physical or mental reasons.
What McNamara calls a boost
to the antipoverty program has
been challenged by unanswered
questions.
McNamara,
announcing the
program last month, said, "The
poor in America have not had the
opportunity to earn their fair share
of this nation's abundance, but
they can be given an opportunity
to serve in their county's defense."
However, there is confusion
about who will have the privilege
to serve. Altogether, about 600,000
men flunk the mental and physical
tests each year. The latest program,
the third drop in minimum standards this year, will require a new
cut-of- f
line, one that will permit
more to serve, but not everyone.
Working with only the poor and
mental and physically deficient presents other problems.
It does not eliminate any of
the inequities at the top of the
system. Loopholes still exist for
those with advantages to escape
the draft. Some of the underprivi- -

leged will be taken, but not all;
many more of the privileged will
not be called.
The eventual success of the
program has also been questioned.
There is some doubt whether the
armed forces is best suited to conduct such a program which would
involve all types of educational,

sociological, psychological, and

medical problems.
Other agencies have programs
intended to upgrade draft rejects
and prepare them for the draft.
The Job Corps, for one, not only
works with the underprivileged for
but also inadverhas served as a vehicle for
tently
preparing youth for the armed services. According to Sargent Shriver,
Director of the Office of Economic
Opportunity, 30 percent of all
en-rolle- es

enter the military "even
though the vast majority were
totally ineligible before."
Even with the inequities and
overlapping of programs, the new
plan can serve a useful purpose
by guaranteeing housing, education, and other benefits provided
by the military. If the program is
truly linked with the war on
poverty, it may be worthwhile, at
least for some. But, if it is merelyi
a facade to provide military manpower, it should be exposed as
such and abandoned.

before and after holiday sessions,
public transport is a topic which
should never cease to be of vital
interest, for a student community
is a transient one.
It therefore remains in the best
interest of the University and the
h
City of Lexington to promote
service on air, bus and rail
lines.
We believe two of these industries are keeping up with the
pace of modern demands. Airlines
serving the area add necessary
flights and make the comfort and
convenience of the passenger a
primary concern. Bus lines offer
reasonable comfort and numerous

departures.
Unfortunately, the railroads are
literally leaving the passengers
waiting at the station. It must be
readily admitted that passenger
trains have fewer patrons than they
once had, yet we believe, contrary
to the sob stories of their operators,
that this situation could be remedied.

Three

major railroads the
Louisville and Nashville
Southern,
and the Chesapeake and Ohio-ser- ve
Lexington. The Southern and
C&O run minimal passenger service. L&N now has none.
We think students transportation needs could be better served
if local railroads would operate
passenger service of the 1960's
rather than the worn-ou- t
little left
from the 1940's.
For example, Greyhound Bus
Lines runs 11 buses daily to Louisville, 10 daily to Cincinnati. On
the other hand, C&O Railway operates but one train daily to Louisville, at 8:15 a.m. The Southern
has but two daily trains to Cin

cinnati, at 5:20 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Service on these remaining
trains, based on past experience,
seems deigned to decline. On the
Southern, northbound trains are
often late. Once the pridef of the
Southern fleet, the Royal Palm,
about a year ago was stripped of
its dining car, and it consists now
of two or three coaches followed
by a string of dingy baggage and
mail cars.
One bright spot in the picture
is that the C&O has plans for a
new station in the East End near
Delaware Avenue. Urban renewal
in the downtown area will necessitate closing of the Rose Street
station as downtown tracks are
being removed.
We realize development of Interstate highways to both Louisville and Cincinnati and the advent of thorough airline service
have cut sizably into the number
of train passengers. But the primary difficulty is that the railroads, in a time of greatest competition, are operating the worst
equipment, maintaining the most
inconvenient schedules, giving stations less maintenance and treating
passengers with less courtesy than
ever before.
The C&O is one of the few
large railroads honestly seeking
more passengers, and its one train
through this area, the George
Washington, at least partially reflects this.
Yet, if Greyhound continues to
operate 10 or more daily buses
between Lexington and Louisville-Cincinna- ti
areas there must still
be a large number of persons,
among them many students, still
needing economical commercial
surface transportation. It is these
people the railroads appear to be
letting down.

Robert Frost: Fighter Against Convention

By GARDNER JACKSON

He
long
forced the American system of
education to make a place for
him on his own terms terms
so contrary to those usually extracted from the teacher by that
system that his success is all
the more remarkable.
Mr. Frost has little use for

conventional educational

meth-

ods in this country. He never
has had. Ever since he entered
Dartmouth in 1892, "prepared,"
as he says, "to pass the examination, but not prepared to find
it so unintellectual," he has gently but firmly refused to conform.
When Mr. Frost takes up his
residence at Ann Arbor next fall
as permanent Fellow in Letters
at the University of Michigan,
he will be officially freed from
all obligation to conform to any
of the rules of that educational

community.
Naturally, he is pleased. No
regular classes to meet, no routine
duties, social or academic; nothing but the spur of his own spirit
to prod him. He is simply going
to live in that collegecommunity
and do what he pleases.
"I go primarily for my own
work," he agrees, "but I wouldn't
go if I wasn't interested in education. I look upon myself as a
slake where the engineers are
staking out the line for the next
advance in education."
He is a firm believer in the
theory

"take-it-or-leave-i- t"

Robert Frost has been dead nearly four years, but the
in him is still alive. While it took half a lifetime for
that poetry to be recognized, the bard's ideas on modern
education some expressed nearly 40 years ago are still
too avant-gard- e
for most classrooms. Here, the Kernel presents three interviews done by the Christian Science Monitor, the Burlington Vermont Free Press and Times, and the
Boston Sunday Globe on that topic.

education. The compulsion that
lies behind the present
system

is all wrong to him, and absurdly futile. And that applies
to primary and secondary schools,
as well as colleges.
Too much of the system is
taken up with "busy-work- "
work prescribed because so many
hours must be filled according
to schedule and not because
either teacher or student is
having fun in the work.
His remarks were given in
if he soft tone of voice so characteristic of him. For the ninth
time since we commenced to
chat he ran his long fingers
through his gray hair and rumpled it into a new disarray.
He was slouched down, with
legs outstretched, in an easy
chair occupying a corner of the
small, comparatively undeco-rateand somewhat disordered
study of his Amherst home.
He wore a soft white shirt
without a necktie. (I hesitate to
include that detail, knowing his
scorn of people's concern in the
external appearances of dress and
blue
such matters.) His deep-se- t
eyes were merry, and chuckles
bubbled in his conversation as
he recalled the pained looks that
have greeted his irregularity in
d,

educational communities.
"Some people think," he said,
"that the chief aim of education
is to find out what a man is
fitted for. Quizzing shows that
in its crudest form. Of course,
that is not education's chiefaim.
You never quiz in good society.
"Lecturing is a step better,
but it's not much good. Controversy or debate is examining
in a natural way-- is finding each

other out and is considerably
better than the other two ways.

"The research laboratory, studio apprenticeship, and the salon
of good minds" arc the three
devices for the perfect education,
Mr. Frost feels. At Ann Arbor
he will employ all three devices.
In fact, he has done so all his
teaching life.
How may men bring about
the better form of education?
Mr. Frost says, "Have courage and a little willingness to
venture and be defeated." He
has put that advice into practice.
He has been frowned upon
in academic circles. What claim
to teaching ability can be made
by a man who frequently doesn't
show up for his classes, who
allows his students in the classroom to write letters, play cards,
or whisper while he's reading
