The University is a modern landlord. It must be respected as a great land holder in the Lexington community, for it has invested in over 100 residential properties located near the campus. Its holdings grow greater
yearly. To many nearby homeowners, especially those
who live inbetween a UK parking lot and a condemned
building, the University is often termned a "growth."
According to Ceorge Kavanaugh, who is in the Real
Property Division of the University, acquisitions are
made, "In conformity to the general campus expansion
plan, the result of outside consultants, and this overall
plan being approved by the Board of Trustees, the
Office of Real Property Division acquires property in
the areas of priority for future expansion of our educational facilities." For instance, the area of first priority
is the 'Triangle" in front of the Medical Center between Rose and South Limestone. Each property is acquired at the asking price of the owner when possible,
or by negotiation at a price not in excess of the current
fair market value as determined by a competent appraiser
employed by the University. Each transaction must have
prior approval of the University Vice President Business
Affairs, the University Counsel, and the Commissioner

next door to one of these houses, described the past
few days as "very, very unpleasant." The University

of finance, Commonwealth of Kentucky." Priority for the
University thus, means destruction of old residential
neighborhoods bordering the Lexington campus. Mr.
Kavanaugh describes the rental picture as "virtually
limited to the University family."
The 110 residential properties owned now by UK
comprise 133 rentable units. When renting these properties, preference is given to University employees and students over
personnel. Former home
owners, many who have lived near the University all
their lives, now move farther and farther away from
the growing boundaries of the campus. They have no
other choice.
Because the University's property needs are great,
what it cannot acquire through negotiations, it condemns. Rarely though, said Mr. Kavanaugh, does the
University exercise its power of condemnation. "Our past
experience has shown that .acquisitions are successful
from negotiations with property owners."
On Lexington Avenue, a street where the University
owns numerous properties, two houses are presently
in the process of being leveled. A woman who lives

phoned us the other day to tell us that the house
next door to us was coming down, she said. We only
rent this house, and the University, as far as I know
hasn't asked my landlord to sell.
How long Lexington Avenue will remain a residential
street is unknown. The houses on one end are owned
by UK, those on other end are owned by the Cood
Samaritan Hospital.
As far as the future location of property needed by
the University goes, little is known. There is no "master plan," for the acquisition of property except for the
areas of priority established and the policy plan. Mr.
Kavanaugh has said that purchases may be acquired
ahead of consturction project plans.
Thus the physical growth of the University continues,
old neighborhoods disappear for the sake of educational
needs, and an administrative office called the Real
Property Division takes its place in an academic community so well symbolized by yet another new building
the 22 tower office structure.

Ruins were made out of a
stretch of business buildings
in Omaha, Nebraska today after a night of burning, looting, and
sniping in the predominantly Negro section near the north side of
the city. There were no serious injuries reported.
The disorder was touched off yesterday by the fatal shooting
of a
Negro girl by a white policeman 30 year old
James Loder.
Police reported that vandalism and looting occurred in an area
55 blocks long and 24 blocks wide.
Bricks and bottles were thrown at firemen, who refused to
fight fires in the business section until provided with a police
escort. Several shots were also fired at policemen, said Police
Lieutenant Lewis Ruberti.
Police armed with riot guns were positioned around the fire
fighters in the early hours of the morning.
At least 30 persons were reportedly jailed on charges ranging
from carrying concealed weapons to illegal entry of a building.
Small fires broke s out in sections surrounding the Omaha
business district, although most of the fires were confined to one
section.
Looting and vandalism were reportedly widespread.
At the request of Mayor Eugune Leahy, the Nebraska National Guard were standing by for further orders.

The shooting of
Vivian Strong occurred Tuesday
night when police answered a call of a reported break-i- n at a

Loder has been suspended from the police force for 15 days.

KERLEY HONORED
The University of Kentucky
chapter of the American Association of University Professors
(AAUP) today honored Robert
F. Kerley, Vice President for Business Affairs, for his special concerns for faculty and students.
Kerley, who leaves July 1 to
become Administrative Vice PresUniverident of
sity, Baltimore, Maryland, was
honored at a special luncheon
in the Student Center.
Professor J. W. Patterson, President of the local AAUP chapter,
presented Kerley with a special
plague which made special note
of his role as the University's
chief safety and security officer.
The plague cited Kerley for
"Iks constant concerns for the
rights of men, which contributed
significantly to the preservation
of the University as a place for
meaningful decent and academic
freedom."
Patterson said that Vice President Kerley has consistently
shown a keen awareness that
academic institutions exist for
"the transmission of knowledge,
the pursuit of truth, the development of students, and the general
of society, and that
free inquiry and free expression
are indispensable to the attainment of these goals."
Patterson added that AAUP
was cognizant cf Kerley's efforts
"to develop policies and procedures which provide and safeguard these freedoms."

What does the occasion of
return call for? Description, comparison? Truth to oneself or to
them? There is something gainful in being from a middle-sizeadmired place, a place with an
overbearing mythology. When I
was in graduate school at Columbia, I met a girl who had grown
up on a great rich person's estate
in Long Island. Her father was a
gardener and her mother a cook.
It seemed to me that this was a
fate sweet with possibilities, a
sort of lighthouse, rom which
you could see a great deal that
was meant to be hidden. It is
easy to reach an ironical wisdom
from a low spot, especially if you
are disinclined to hopeless feats
of emulation and not easily
moved to admiration. But this
girl, her whole life scarred by a
brilliant and somehow unaccommodating intelligence, was inarticulate and bitter and wild with
rage. In her twisted little heart
the blood beat with hatred when
the cars drove up the driveway.
She, with her eternal reading of
James and Proust, hated the very
smell of the evening air, filled
with the unsettling drawl of debutantes; but true hatred came to
rest in the sound of her father's
gardening shears at the hedge
and the swish, swish of her
nurse's
mother in rubber-soleshoes and a hairnet, bending

rooms. And yet I store up in
memory one or two rural treasures. The old Elmendorf horse
farm lives on in me, like some
beautiful, leafy, vineladen Pira-nelandscape. I seem to remember the damp, dark olive
green of its lawns, the shaded
black trees, the paths rolling,
here and there brushed with
and yet closed,
and only the pillars of the
old mansion standing. Calumet
Farm, with its Derby Winners,
its white fences and milky barns,
trimmed with red, bathed in cheer
and hope, always seemed to me
a bit of Californian. These are our
cathedrals and abbeys.
Heroes. Man o War("a strapping fellow, in color a dark chestnut") was on view in the old
days. There was a grandeur of
muscle and a splendor of coat;
memories of many a costly stand
as stud seemed to linger in his
n
eyes. Still an interview with this old Adam was
of a singularly unresonant kind;
you came away only with what
you had brought with you. The
thud of hooves, the highly bred,
valuable thoroughbreds, were felt
to bring honor to citizen and
wanderer. Wizened, stunted jockey and luckless, strapped bettor
took his place, each in his niche,
engaged in a special pageantry.

* THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Thursday, June 26; 1969 -- 5

I often felt guilty later, a fraud, that I knew nothing
about the mountains

resting expertly on lieropen palm.
In truth, here was a great spirit
destroyed by feudalism a knotty
little peasant reared in a Southhampton cottage.
And so the horse farms were
a sort of estate and, previously,
people spoke of them almost in
a hushed voice, but the owners,
immensely
mostly
rich sportsmen, were absentees,
like the old landowners ofRussia
who lived in Petersburg and often
went years without visiting the
estates. The horse was supreme,
but the great owners hardly
existed in our folklore, fortunately. Our golden stallion, standing
on the courthouse as a weather-vanwas our emblem, and the
prince came from afar not for
our graceful Lexington ways and
our beautiful girls, but for our
creatures, chewing limestone to
well-know-

perpetuate a dynasty of swift
bones. It is said that certain of
the rich farm owners now spend
a part of the year in residence.
"When the VV- -s put their children in school here, the teachers
were afraid to correct them."
How close to the surface, like the
capillaries of a vein, are the
traditions of local life. A glimpse
of the truly rich, and the diseased
relentlessness of their consumption, diminishes the claims of the
local gentry. The prestige of "old
families" based upon what forgotten legacies beyond simple
endurance in a more or less solvent condition? cannot stand up
to those bodies decorated with the
precious minerals of the earth,
covered with the skins of the
most astonishing animals, seeking comfort and pleasures from
the possession of every offering
of the ground and the manufac- -

I Am Curious (Peter)
By CHUCK KOEHLER
The Dluegrass can feel proud
in its eaily showing of an avante
garde film about the tortured
mind of a youthful, existential
hero, as portrayed through the
'literary talents of James Barrie
and the celluloid talents of the
Walt Disney studios.
"Peter Pan" (now showing
at the Cinema on the Mall) makes
a strong argument as a children's
adventure film. However, the film
is actually an extended, allegorical cartoon, a form introduced
and perfected by the Disney
genius.
d
The hero the
Pan
is first seen completing his
identity in a symbolic scene
where his id (shadow) is reunited
with his ego. Furthermore, this
act is performed through the talents of a virgin nymphet, clad
only in a pale blue nightgown.
In an almost "Bonnie and
Clyde" allegory, the two "fly
together" to points beyond the
normal imagination there to
confront evil as personified in
the vengeance-minde- d
Captain
Hook. Not coincidentally, Captain Hook's voice is also that
of the young virgin's father; an
Oedipal theme runs throughout
the plot.

And in the great tradition of
Norman Mailer, there are the
"lost boys." Wendy (the nymphet) consents to be their mother,
actually a reminder that this
country faces a serious issue in
welfare assistance for unwed
mothers.
Hippies are portrayed as a
lost Indian tribe, seeking to relate to a complexly technological environment with savage simplicity.
The meeting of these ethnic
elements orphans, savages, piratesis in an existential apotheosis of the superhero, Pan. Pan's
penultimate decision lies in the
young virgin, Wendy: whether
to succumb to emasculation and
enter into wedlock, or to
deny himself animal instincts and continue as superhero
in a land distraught with conflict
and evil.
In grandiose style, Pan forsakes his animal instincts. Evil
is conquered, but not subdued
(it will return); Wendy is returned
to reality, now a woman of the
world.
Incidentially, there were only

Tobacco that is truly more
local, but I know nothing about
it except that I would rather see
the
plants in a field
than the quivering, wavering
beauty of a new foal. The old
warehouses and the tobacco
sales, with the gossip of prices,
the farmhands, the grading of
the leaves there is still something of a century ago, something
of the country scenes in Ceorge
Eliot. The memory of funtion,
of sowing and reaping and selling and sowing and reaping
again. Allotments and methods
and machinery and bargains with
tenants and country agents and
rage at the government. But all
I know about planting, all that I
remember, are the violets and
