Trustees restrict cafeterias
to students, faculty, guests
expected enrollment this fall, all University cafeterias, now open
to the public, will be restricted to students,
faculty members, and official guests. The action
was decided on at last week's meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees.
meetings and
Participants in campus-basevisitors to patients in the University Hospital will
be considered guests of the University, according
to Vice President for Business Affairs Robert E.
Kerley, who presented the new plans to the committee, along with UK President John VV. Oswald.
Mr. Kerley noted that the 850 students to be
housed in Cooperstown will have to be fed in the
Student Center Cafeteria, since Donovan and
Blazer cafeterias are currently operating at "about
twice the designed capacity."
When asked how cafeteria staff members would
identify authorized customers, Mr. Kerley answer
ed that "eventually we hope to have an identification card" but for the present no definite guidelines have been worked out.
Mr. Kerley and Dr. Oswald held little hope
that the dining shortage would be solved in the
near future. The expanding enrollment will increase to about 17,800 students on the main campus by 1970, and the dining facilities in the proposed dormitory complex will just take care of
students living there, Mr. Kerley said.
Another critical problem is the staffing of the
dining units with trained personnel. Some of the
e
seven days a week for
units are working
16 hours a day, he noted. Closing the facilities
to the public may give some immediate relief to
at least this phase of the problem.
Mr. Kerley said that "we hope to be able to
accommodate first and foremost the students.
That goes for their families, too, who will be considered University guests when they visit them
during the school year."

The Executive Committee also accepted a
statement of policies and procedures that will be
applied to contracts, grants, and gifts from sources
outside the University intended for the support of
research and training.
Dr. Raymond C. Bard, assistant vice president
for research development, told the committee that
until now there have been no written procedures
and no specific methods of advising the faculty
on these matters.
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation, of which Dr. Bard is executive director, is
designated as the administering organization for
all contracts, gifts, and grants, called simply
"agreements." The foundation is also the official
solicitor of funds.
Although there is "nothing really novel" in this
new setup, Dr. Bard said, the new rules for proposal review should prove of key importance and
are intended to insure that each research project
is one in which the University is willing and able
to become engaged.
Dr. Bard emphasized that this was simply a
preliminary consideration of a most complex subject. President Oswald said that it was "an extremely significant first step (which) really for
the first time pulls together all the policy in this
area.
In other action the Executive Committee selected Dr. Hubert P. Henderson, presently associate
professor of music at the University of Maryland,
as new chairman of the Department of Music,
succeeding Dr. Bryce Jordan, who has been chairman since January, 1964.
Dr. Jordan has resigned his position effective
Aug. 1 to become chairman qf the Department of
Music at the University of Texas in Austin.
Dr. Henderson holds three degrees from the
University of North Carolina, including a Ph.D.
in musicology.

Wilson Wyatt eulogizes
Adlai; Library displays
mementos of Stevenson
Former Lieutenant Governor Wilson W. Wyatt , who managed
Adlai Stevenson's 1952 campaign for the presidency, delivered the
principal eulogy to the late U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
Tuesday night.
Dr. A. D. Kirwan, dean of the Graduate School, presided.
In addition to the eulogy, the program included a vocal solo by
Mrs. Kay Martin, an organ prelude and postlude by Prof. Arnold
Blackburn of the Department of Music, and invocation and benediction by Dr. W. A. Welsh, president of the College of the College of the Bible.
Letters, telegrams, and pictures concerning Adlai Stevenson,
which are in the University's Alben W. Barkley collection, are
now on display in the Barkley Room in the Margaret I. King
Library.
Stevenson and Barkley were cousins, and the relationship is
noted frequently in Barkley's autobiography, "That Reminds Me."
Among items in the collection is a copy of a telegram from
Barkley to Stevenson, dated April 16, 1952, after Stevenson had
announced his withdrawal from the race of Democratic presidential
hopefuls.
A later note from Stevenson to Barkley after the Vice President
had withdrawn from the race, reads, "It is a noble statement
which perhaps no one else in our country could write. Charity,
candor, and courage are the firm rock on which you've stood for
a long time. And you have again made the rock more visable to
many lesser men, this me included."
A postscript to the letter reads, "But you have made it very
hard for me! ! !"
Other items include: a letter from Stevenson to Barkley dated
Aug. 15, 1952, thanking the latter for campaigning for Stevenson
in Illinois. "It was not alone the magnificent speech, which always
seem to stir and elevate us, but the humor and happiness that
feel much the better about my

There is also a copy of an invitation to a luncheon the Barkleys
Padu-cagave for Stevenson and companions at the Barkley home in
"The Angles," on Sept. 27, 1952. Afterward they Hew to
Louisville for the opening of Stevenson's Kentucky campaign.
A copy of a telegram from Portland, Ore., dated April 30, 1956,
from Stevenson to Mrs. Barkley after Barkley's death states, "1 am

facing forward, and saying what he believed with vigor, artistry,
and dignity. I like to think that he would have preferred to die
just that way and enriching the spirits of young people. My love
and sympathy to you, Dear Jane."
There is also an 1S91 letter from Stevenson's grandfather, Adlai
a former Vice President of the United
Lvving Stevenson,
and a native of Kentucky, to Thomas Speed, Louisville,

thanking him for a copy of a book, "The Political Club."

'The flood of youthful unrest' The Kentucky Kernel
By RALPH

McGILL
J. Edgar Hoover, esteemed and knowledgeable director of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI), draws on a very
considerable experience in commenting on
what has been called the "flood of youthful unrest."

"Many youths," he said, "are victims
of a society where discipline has been replaced by indulgence. They have been
cheated out of a sense of responsibility
and a respect for authority. . .A segment
of our society has offered all types of excuses
and rationalization unhappy childhood,
lack of opportunity, emotional stress, influence of alcohol or narcotics. . .but they
seem never to consider that some of these
punks are just plain mean. ..."
Mr. Hoover supports evidence of adult
weaknesses by pointing out the increasing
number of incidents where adults have
turned their heads "actually and figuratively, from incidents of crime rather than
get involved by aiding victims of assault"
and have refused "to report the event
to law enforcement officers and appear in
court as a witness."
The perfect recipe for trouble is, says
the doctor, "to mix a large group of teenagers with alcohol." When supplied with
beer or booze "those youngsters with the
least control and self confidence rise to
the surface and begin to act out their
childish aggressions and hostilities. . . ."

Art Department to show
Niles Spencer paintings

The University Department of Art will present a
major
of the works of the American painter Niles Spencer Oct
10 through Nov. 6.
The exhibition has been timed to coincide with the annual
meeting of the Midwestern College Art Conference, which will
be held Oct.
in Lexington, and is expected to attract delegates from the art departments and museums of the entire Midwest area, according to Richard B. Freeman, chairman of the
Department of Art and planner for the Spencer show.
An illustrated monograph will be published in conjunction with
the exhibition and will contain essays by Dorothy Miller, curator
of collections at the Museum of Modern Art in New York; Ralston
Crawford, New York artist; and Prof. Freeman. The monograph
will include a checklist of Spencer's paintings and a selected
bibliography.
Many universities and private owners also will lend art works,
including the artist's widow, Catherine Brett Spencer, and Spencer's
dealer, Mrs. Edith Gregor Halpert of the Downtown Gallery, New
York. About 60 paintings and a dozen drawings are expected.
"Niles Spencer's importance in American painting during the
first half of this century is becoming increasingly clear," Prof.
Freeman said.
"Although he never lacked recognition, his art did not have
the crowd appea! or the dazzle of many of his contemporaries.
Still, there were some individuals who noted the elegant simplicity
and the monumental grandeur of this classicist," he added.
Among honors received during Spencer's lifetime was an honorable mention at the Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh
in 1930; a mural commission from the Fine Arts Section of the
United States Treasury Department in 1937; and a Purchase Prize
at the Artists for Victory Exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum
of New York in 1942.

Fanaticism was not limited to

skepticism as to public enthusiasm when the variety of nine
shows produced "in the round"
opened earlier this summer.
After completion of the first
three shows, however, Dickens'
concern seems to have been in
vain. For not only lias each showing of "The Imaginary Invalid,"
"The Little Foxes," and "Oh
Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung
You in the Closet and I'm Feeling So Sad," received favorable
reviews, but they have also been
sellouts.
With the shows "central
staged" in the Guignol Theatre
each Thursday through Sunday,
most of Dickens' "happy" problem has to do with limited seating
capacity. Through this process
which puts the entire production
on the regular Guignol stage, and
has the audience seated on three
sides of the smaller staging area,
the capacity is limited to about
140 seats per production. Ordinarily, Guignol seats about 425.
"Many persons, upon learning of the ticket shortage, have
asked why we don't use the entire Guignol stage and thus take
advantage of the theater's 425
seats," Bob Pitman, a resident
actor and assistant director said.

Pitman added other disappointed ticket seekers have
opined each production could
run an extra night, but he also
adds this is impossible too, for
while one show unfolds, the cast
is practicing 14 to 15 hours daily
for next week's play. "At this
stage, about all we can suggest
is that tickets be ordered at least
two weeks in advance for the remaining productions," he concluded.
How does Dickens view his
"problem?" "It's the type of
problem all summer theaters
could afford," he quips.

Pitman said this would now
be impossible as sets are prepared
in advance by cast members and
arc designed for the smaller staging area.
"We gambled when we decided on 'central staging,' for
many ventures started this way
play to limited audiences for the
first two or three years before
catching on," Pitman added.
Without saying he and Dickens
had expected the Centennial Theatre "to take two or three years
to catch on," Pitman, a drama
professor at Milwaukee's Alvenio
College, said such initial enthusiasm "is somewhat surprising,
and most welcome."

Many Americans are concerned about the ease of life In our
country today and what it may do to our children. Will the
"soft living" of our times bring a continuing decline in their
physical and moral stamina? This could happen if our children
aren't encouraged to develop their bodies as well as their
minds. Tarents should insist on a minimum of 15 minutes of
vigorous activity each school day for every boy and every
girl. Tell your school officials about your concern. For information about a program that your school any school
can put into effect promptly, write the President's (
