The requirement for sophomores to live in University dormitories is dead for this year and
appears to be dead for good

by the University Board of Trustees.
According to Mrs. Jean Lind-le- y
of the University Housing
600-70- 0
Office, approximately
sophomores are living off campus without permission and "in
effect, the ruling wasn't enforced
this year."
Another 100 sophomores asked
to live off campus, according to
Mrs. Lindley. About 20 to 30
of these requests were rejected,
but even these students later
were told they could live off
campus.
Even without the enforcement
of the compulsory housing rule,
the University is short approximately 150 spaces in upperclass
men's dormitories this fall.
This was due to an "unexpected" number of housing applications by upperclass men, according to Mrs. Lindley.

were to be required to live in

21, were married, had had two

"By the time we got to the
point of enforcing it, we realized
we had too many upperclass students and we would not have
space for them (sophomores),"
Mrs. Lindley said.

"Sculptor of the Month" for July.
Hall has been as assistant professor in the Department of Art
for two years in the area of welded
and
sculpture.
Hall left Lexington for New
York City on July 4 with a truck-loaof sculpture looking for a
"break." Soon after he arrived
in New York, Hall found an
interested patron of the arts in

for New York City, Doris Freed-maThe Department of Cultural
Affairs is part of New York City's
Department of Parks, which
sponsors the "Sculptor of the
Month" project, it features a new
piece of sculpture, which is
placed on New York's property
and provides a changing face
to the city's scape.
Hall's piece entitled "Return"
was placed in the Carl Schurz
Park. It is a large dimension
construction about 20 feet long
of painted steel in combination
.with polished bronze. The metallic green and "lipstick pink"
are played off against each other,
and the connecting brass bars
give a gold color. The colors
of "Return" change with the different times of day and the different moods of the climate.
When Hall was setting up the
exhibit in the park he received
n.

some unexpected publicity. The
local New York press was on hand
to receive the sculptor's comments, and a television station,
looking for a human interest feature, stopped by the park to
interview Hall. The result was a
half-hou- r
documentary on the
sculpture, including the ideas inin
volving "Return." Passers-b- y
the park were interviewed in a
type ot "man on the street" program and the comments of the
public ranged from "very favorable to very outraged.','
"Return" was placed in New
York's Schurz Park around 89th
Street and York, in the East
Side of Manhattan for several
reasons. The park is adjacent
to Mayor John Lindsay's Cracie
Mansion. Hall chose this particular site for his sculpture because the atmosphere allowed
the piece to "just happen in the
environment." It is set into a
green knoll situated beside a
grove of trees on one side, with
the other side looking out onto
the park with Cracie Mansion
in the distance. Hall states that
"Return" "looks alien in a park
with cobbled walkways and green

grass."
Hall has been invited to return to New York in the fall.

The committee was made up

of Student Gov ernment.

JULY
In July a School of Natural
Resources was established at the
University, as part of theGllege
of Agriculture.
The school, which will not
start accepting students until the
fall semester of 1970, will include departments of fish and
wildlife services and resources
management as well as forestry.
Another change in administration took place in July when
Robert L. Johnson, UK vice president for student affairs, resigned
his position to assume a similar
position at the University of California at Berkeley. Dr. Johnson
said that, although leaving Kentucky caused him "personal sadness," he could not miss the
opportunity to be associated with

Construction of the University's new office tower was slowed
when iron workers struck for
higher wages. The strike lasted
four weeks.

and the increase of the Lexington
campus enrollment from 8,000
to 14,000 students.
"Most notable of all we have
recruited many new faculty who
are young, vibrant, dynamic,"

r

he said. "They have been recruited from the great universities of the land so that the faculties of some of our departments
and colleges are now recognized
as among the best in the nation."
Dr. Kirwan
noted that he
would do all he could to maintain the present pace without
initiating any programs that
would have to be completed by
a successor. He said that the
University has not yet reached a
degree of excellence where it can
relax, but must redouble the
assault in the future.
He counseled the freshmen
Sunday that they would have a

1966. He was replaced by Wil-'iaHarry Clarke.
The search for a president to
fill the position vacated by Dr.
John Oswald ended temporarily
in July when Dr. Albert D. Kirwan, professor of history and former dean of the UK Graduate
School, was appointed acting
president by the Board of Trustees.

Upon announcement of his appointment, Dr. Kirwan said, "I
regard this as a summons to duty
that I cannot disregard. Many

Operating as a student press in
the academic community, the Kentucky Kernel begins this new year
with the fervor needed to meet the
challenges of a responsible press.
The editors strive to inform and
educate, entertain and stimulate
our reading audience.
The University community is
our beat, and we will seek to provide
students, faculty, staff and administrators with campus news as we see
it. Realizing that we are not
operating in a vacuum, we will
also try to relate the news events
of the world to the University
and the lives of its residents. Hopefully, we will be a part of the
education process of our readers.
Many of our stones will be
entertaining, and we will strive
to provide an interesting selection
of arts, entertainment, sports and
fashion news. We hope to capture
the mood of the campus and present
it to the readers in the most realistic
way.
The Kernel's editorial page will
present the views of the editor as
wU as offering each reader a chance
to make known his or her opinions.
The editors will comment on issues

While seeking to use all letters,
the editors will try to prevent
personal feuds and repititious presentation of views.
The Kernel Soapbox again will
be open to readers to present long,
analysis and opinion articles. Other than length, the.
requirements are the same as for
letters.
The Kernel is a student activity,
and we urge the readers to take a
part. Applications for staff positions
can be obtained in the newsroom.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
In view of the fact that orientation
Ls a
necessity as a preparation for college,
I feel that a different approach should
be made.
Many of the students feel that most
of the speeches are too lengthy and that
each is essentially on the same subjects.
The speeches should be more specific by
explaining about the different fields offered, such as dentistry, agriculture, and
engineering.
A guided tour would be most useful
to those students who are unfamiliar with
the University campus. In addition, a tour
would eliminate the chaos of finding rooms
and buildings during the first weeks of the
semester.

If a shorter and more concise program
could be woiked out, everyone would
benefit from the orientation.

Black History: Destroying A People By Miseducation

riUNCE E. WILSON
The Associated Tress
For more than 300 y cars, white
Americans have believed that Negroes or black men have had no
history. Europeans, Incas, Aztecs, Chinese, Asiatic Indians-ev- en
the Riant Sequoia, strata
of earth, and rocks-- all
have
had histories. Rut not, apparently the Negro.
The great universities of this
and other Western-oriente- d
nations gave no serious attention
in their curricula offerings to
the role and scope of the black
men in world cultures. There
were no "chairs" for professors
of black history. There were only
an ignored few white scholars
digging into the dusty records
of black people along with the
Negro scholars whose works were
almost universally considered to
be insignificant and inferior.
"African history" seemed to
be a contradiction of terms. Only

a few European anthroxlogists
examined the past of the "savages" on a "Dark Continent."
Studies conducted by anthropologists, and anthropologists read
by an esoteric elite, had no more
apparent effect on daily beliefs
than those of an ornithologist.
A first major point of cognition for the average white American is that black Americans do
in fact have a history and that
that history is badly known or
sadly unknown by white Americans.
Even black Americans are said
to suffer an identity homicide
by this lack of knowledge. White
America, though, has been worse
than poorly educat
