According to Dr. Jansen the

comment on the findings. Dr.

A reply from the AID office in

'No Pasture For Us,9 They Cry

Keeneland Coeds Rebel At Proposed Ousting
By PHYLLIS COMBS

Kernel Staff Writer
"We love Keeneland, Oh, yes we do,
we want to live here for another year
or two."
This is the battle cry of Keeneland
Hall coeds who have been told they
are going "out to pasture" to the new
University Complex next fall. Keeneland
tradition is at stake and these determined coeds are preparing to picket the
monthly Tnistees meeting if necessary
to stay in their home.
"They arc herding us like sheep, and
the pasture is so far out we'll never get
back," claimed an indignant Keeneland
girl.
A petition has been prepared for interested parties to "support the principle

of individual choice in regard to living
quarters." There are many reasons why

Keeneland girls feel they are special and
they are belligerently undertaking action
to make their desires known.
Stating their grievances well is the
following petition tacked to Keeneland
Hall's bulletin board:
We the undersigned, do hereby state
the following:
we
1. As residents of Keeneland-Hal- l
desire that this hall remain a "mixed
dorm," i.e. one in which all women
students desiring to live on campus may
reside herein regardless of classification.
2. We feel the women students should
have a definite assurance that they w ill
live in the dorm they desire based on
priority (past residence in the dorm) then

d
seniority, and then on a
basis, before they sign a University housing contract.
3. If the University does not see fit
to notify the women students well in
advance of the cancellation date of July
29, as to their housing arrangement, then
the women students not desiring to live
in any other University housing provided,
should be allow ed full repayment of their
initial down payment, and cancellation
of their University housing "agreement."
One coed explained that all the fuss
comes from the fact that Keeneland Hall
has become traditionally the home of
"UK sw ingers who love their dorm, their
housemother, Mrs. Roberts, all the close
friendships that are as natural as the woodwork, the back walls of Cood Samaritan
first-com-

first-serve-

Hospital, and the noise on Saturday night
at closing time."
All claiming to be creatures of habit,
the girls are angry at the inconvenience
s
of
dormitories, the coldness
of modern structure, and just plain outraged at losing their home.
Some other arguments were that freshmen don't know the difference and they
will adapt quickly to the long hike to
Donovan Cafeteria, and class buildings.
Also, the Keeneland Coeds claimed, they
don't know the friendliness of Keeneland
Hall and won't feel like orphans when
they are shuttled off in their pasture.
Crux of the protests is based on signing a contract with the University absolutely blind; if the coedslon't live in

All of the coeds agreed that
they would not object to having
freshman girls placed in Keeneland as long as the upperclass-me- n

"Nobody asked us if we would

claims of administrators that
they are doing the upperclass
women a favor in granting them
access to the new complex, is
looked down upon by the girls
who don't want to be moved

Guignol Play Opens Tonight

Is it a farce or a social
satire? What happened to the
moral? Is it realistic or absurd?
These are some of the questions
about "Hiedermann and the Fire-bunwhich will challenge the
audience tonight when the play
opens at the Guignol.
Gottlieb Hiedermann, a cautious German businessman, discovers that two men who have
entered his home uninvited are
the arsonists who have already
burned down much of the town.
He and his simple wife lodge
the firebugs, feed them, and provide them with all the matches
they want, hoping to save their

home all of which only post- pones the inevitable holocaust.
Using dramatic techniques
such as allegory and absurdity.
playwright Max Frisch reveals
the actions and attitudes of
people confronted with a powerful and ruthless enemy.
The play is called a morality
play without a moral. It contains elements of the theater of
the absurd, but it also has
realistic aspects.
Why is the Guignol doing
this play? "This is a contemporary drama that has a challenge
in it for a university theater,"

"A university theater has a
tremendous opportunity to do
plays of significance and value
because it is basically a subsidized theater," Smith continued. "We do not have to sell
a commodity, although we certainly need an audience."
"Hiedermann and the Firebugs" is considered one of
Frisch's most provocative and
brilliant plays. It has had extensive production in the United
States, but this is the first production in Kentucky.
"Mr. Frisch is a contemporary Swiss writer of tremendous
merit," Smith said. "His plays
were a resounding success in
Europe, and as a university, we
need to be exposed to drama
that is new and different."
Guignol actors have had to
prove their versatility in this
production. The show calls for
a chorus of firemen to slide down

them instructions in pole sliding.

* A Valid Question
University trustee Sam Kzelle
should he commended for publicly
requesting an investigation of the
county agricultural and home
demonstration system, which is
funded through UK's budget. Mr.
Kzelle's remarks about the county
agent system seem valid, and the

situation

certainly

merits

a

thorough study.
Mr. Kzelle, a Kentucky labor
leader, has drawn strong criticism
from supporters of the agent system. John V. Koon, the executive
secretary of the Kentucky Farm
Bureau Federation, contends it is
"ridiculous" for Mr. Fzelle to be
critical of a system which "has
been so successful."
County agents have been successful in their work with agricultural problems in counties
throughout the state. However,
Kentucky's farm population has decreased considerably, and basically
the same county agent program continues. There may no longer be a
necessity for a county agent system
in each county. We think it is
"ridiculous" for farm bureau lead- -

You Mccl The Nicest People

...

ers to rebel at the idea of a mere

study.
The objective merits of the
county agent system cannot be
determined until an impartial investigation is conducted. Regardless of the outcome of such a study,
Mr. Fzelle has performed an admirable function as a trustee by
raising some serious questions.
that
It is understandable
another UK trustee, Clifford Smith,
would be a staunch defender of the
farm bureau and county Extension
system. Mr. Smith has a personal
and professional interest in Kentucky agriculture, and is often regarded as the state administration's
voice on the Board of Trustees.
Perhaps the most significant result of Mr. Ezelle's remarks is
breaking the "closed door" tradition of conducting University
business. Most trustee meetings in
the past have been merely "rubber
stamp" sessions, with few, if any,
questions being raised. We hope
other trustees will raise questions
in the future if they believe a program needs investigation.

New Woes In Rhodesia

Only a week after his election
triumph, Harold Wilson finds himself under heavy fire from left and
right because of the demonstrable
ineffectiveness of British policy on
Rhodesia.
Its symbol is the Greek tanker
Ioanna V, riding at anchor off
Beira in Portuguese Mozambique
after ignoring a warning from a
Royal Navy frigate against entering
that harbor. Britain is now making
a strenuous diplomatic effort to
prevent the tanker from unloading
18,000 tons of crude oil destined
for the pipeline of Rhodesia.
Whatever happens tothe Ioanna
V, Mr. Wilson must now face the
galling fact that the effort to bring
down Rhodesia's white rebel regime
by sanctions is not succeeding.
Enough oil and gasoline is coming
by train and truck from South
Africa to keep Rhodesia's
economy
ticking over, even if not in high gear.
The sanctions have hurt but not
crippled Rhodesia, and they seem
to have united the country's 220,000
whites more solidly than ever
behind Prime Minister Ian Smith's
Government, instead of creating
fissures which British
diplomacy
might have exploited.
What can Mr. Wilson do next?
The easiest course would be simply

all the black African governments.
He must face African Commonwealth leaders again in July and
they will recall that in Lagos in
January he assured them the
rebellion would be ended
"within a matter of weeks, rather
Rho-desia-

n

than months."
Mr. Wilson has ruled out the
direct use of military force to put
down the rebellion. And, at least

until recently, Britain has resisted
the idea of United Nations Security
Council action under Article VII
of the Charter to invoke mandatory
sanctions by all U.N. members.
The only other evident course
open to Mr. Wilson is to try to
open negotiations with the regime
in Salisbury. But this was exactly
what his Tory opponents advocated
and Labor rejected throughout the
recent election campaign. In any
case, Mr. Smith insists he will
negotiate with Britain only as the
head of an independent state.
Before determining his next
move, Mr. Wilson might now spell
out once again the conditions
Britain would accept in a new
Rhodesian constitution looking toward independence. Many white
Rhodesians seem still to believe
that Britain is demanding majority
and
rule almost immediately
prompt implementation of the
e
principle. A new
Wilson explanation might have no
effect in Salisbury but it would be
well to put it on the record before
launching a more drastic policy.

have been reading with both
sympathy and interest the publicity attending the failure of the
University to renew the contract
of Miss Sara Holroyd of the
Music Department. It seems to
me that there is a great deal of
inconsistency in following rules
for granting tenure and renewal
of contracts to instructors and
professors.
A short resume of my ow n experience will, I think, illustrate
some of these inconsistencies.
