Interim President

Dr. A. D. Kirwan speaks to the Board of Trustees following his
appointment as interim UK president. Dr. Kirwan, a professor
of history and formerly dean of the graduate school, told the Board
that he would try "to hold the fort" until a permanent president
is chosen.

severe financial problems plaguing the federal government as a
result of the Vietnam war are
beginning to take their toll on
the Selective Service System.
Selective
Service Director
Lewis B. Hershey has ordered
all local draft boards to schedule no more preinduction physical examinations for August or
September. The move, in effect,
will limit the draft between now
and late October to persons who
already have passed their physicals, or have received notices
to take them.
Hershey said physical
were being temporarily
halted as an economy measure
made necessary by the $6 billion reduction in Federal spending ordered by Congress for the
fiscal year which began July 1.
Hershey also rescinded the fil
exant-ination-

s

ling of vacancies and promotions
in the Selective Service System
until further notice.
Selective Service officials say
the suspension of physical examinations will have no effect on
their job of supplying manpower
for the military. They also emphasized that the "embargo may
be lifted at any time." As long
as the suspension is in effect,
however, all draftees will be
taken from the pool of "slightly more than 100,000 men" who
already have taken and passed
their physicals, but have not yet
been inducted, officials said.
The draft call for August is
only about 18,300, compared with
a level of 40,000 a month last
spring. Although the Department
of Defense has not listed the call
for September, Mrs. Betty Vetter,
executive director of the Scientific Manpower Commission, expects draft calls will be relative

UK Young Republicans
Named To Nixon Staff

By LINDA ROBERTS
Three UK students have been chosen to serve on Richard
Nixon's personal staff during the Republican National Convention
in Miami.
The three students, Allen Youngman, Patt Maney, and Eric
Karnes will assist Nixon's upper echelon aides. The Nixon staff
carries only 20 such student assistants.
This is Karnes' second trip to a Republican Convention. In
11)61 he served as a volunteer for Barry Coldwater.
Youngman, Maney, and Karnes began to muster support for
Nixon's candidacy immediately after Kentucky's gubernatorial election last November. To help obtain this support Patt Maney served
as chairman of the Young Republicans at the University.
According to Maney they will be concerned with assistiiig Nixon's
supporters and providing services to the delegates. This will include such duties as research, ihauffeuring, ami any other tasks
that may be asked of them.
One of the most important services that these 20 students
will have to perform is to insure that the delegates are aware of
and present on the floor for all important convention business.

Congressional Candidate Knocks
UK's Role In Military Research

that "while spending on

shey's order suspending physical
examinations will have both a
good and a bad effect on college
graduates and graduate students
who no longer have deferments.
"Assuming the order stays in
effect and the Selective Service
System has to take its share of
the budget cut, this will delay
the induction of many graduates
and graduate students who have
not taken a physical until at
least November," Mrs. Vetter
said. "It will allow many students to start graduate school

and possibly get in at least one
semester of work before being

taken."

But Mrs. Vetter also said the
suspension on physicals may reduce the number of high school
graduates not planning to go to
college who volunteer for the
armed services. She explained

she said.
"Every time you lose a volunteer, you add another draftee,"
Mrs. Vetter said. The more the

greater the burden becomes on
college graduates who already
have received their physicals.

Centennial Theatre To Produce 'King Lear9

By D. C. MOORE
The Centennial Theatre will
present for their final production of the 19G8 summer session,
William Shakespeare's
"King

Lear".

This play, which is well
known and really needs no detailed description, will probably
be the best that the Centennial
will do for the '68 summer sea
son.

Miniatures From Modern
Masters Now On Display
Modern Masters in Miniature and Craphics from Cubism to
Op,
an art exhibition from the Kay Hillman Collection, New York
City,
will open at the University of Kentucky Art
Callery Wednesday
July 24th. Selected by Mrs. Hillman, the exhibition is divided into
two sections: 22 modern masters in miniatures
(paintings, drawings
and collages) and 23 graphics.
This collection, (one of which is pictured below) formed over
many years, and
continually, reflects Kay Hillman's
interest in those germinating stages of a master's work. By concentrating on the miniature, she has isolated specific statements.
Loosely construed, the Collection nonetheless offers an index-partito be sure-o- f
various stylistic committments made since the turn
of the century.
The exhibition will be on view from July 24th through August
14th at the following hours: Monday through
Friday
Saturday

The Centennial Theatre which
has had a fantastic season so far
this year with their first three
productions, will rise to new
heights after their production of

"King Lear."
To be directed by Charles
Dickens, King Lear, will star

famed Shakespearean actor Arnold Moss, who came to Lexington especially for this play. With
the addition of this new blood,
"King Lear" will be an outstanding production and come close
to establishing The Centennial
Theatre as one of the better
summer productions.
Over the past few years The
Centennial Theatre has slowly
been building a reputation that
they can be proud of. "King
Lear" should be the best pror
duction of the
span.

"King Lear" as done by the
Centennial Theatre ought to be
unusual, provocative and beautiful.
The play, which lends much
to the modern theatre while taking nothing away, can be staged
in many different styles without
destroying the total effects involved.
Even if the play does contain some Elizebethan conventions, the play is not restricted
to any one mode or set as many
modern plays are.
The Centennial Theatre will
be out to suprise with their uniqueness.
By bringing in Arnold Moss

of the regular Centennial members, The Centennial Theatre will

Save Lives, Not Faces
Lives are expendable, prestige is not that is the impression one
gets from the position taken by our government at the Paris peace

talks.
Nearly four months have elapsed since President Johnson called
for negotiations and progress has yet to be made. The negotiators
sip tea; meanwhile back in rice patties lives continue to be extinguished.
The stalemated talks could continue as such for a good while and
may eventually be broken off, giving our government the perfect rationalization for escalating the war.
It seems the United States will not take steps to end the conflict unless it can do so and emerge smelling sweetly. Apparently,
our officials don't realize the name of our country presently carries
with it around the world a stench comprable to that of rotting carrion.
Polls show that 80 percent of the Europeans believe the U.S. should
not be in Vietnam and that withdrawal is the only face saver. It is
a fact that the French actually gained prestige when they withdrew
from what was then Indochina. Somehow we seem to think that because we have lost more lives than the French, we stand to lose
more by withdrawing. It is only reasonable to say that we stand to
lose much more by staying in Vietnam.
The United States must take the first definite step towards peace,
that the Communists won't. We must begin
decreasing our war efforts, for such a move would greatly enhance
the changes of success at the talks. We must also begin plans for a
coalition government in the South and bring the National Liberation
Front into the peace discussions.
for it can be assured

Vice President Humphrey fears that the public and the politicians
will interfer with the talks and has implored everyone to "leave the
negotiating to the negotiators."
Humphrey is dead wrong is he wants the people to keep their
noses out of the negotiations. Now, more than ever, the American
public has a chance to bring about an end to the war. If this nation
truly desire peace, let the people urge our officials to admit our mistake and speed-uof our war effort.

The senator arrived at the

His speech urged the reconciliation of old and young people, divergent economic groups,
and the Democratic party and

While he spoke police scanned the crowd from the tops

Edward Kennedy For VP

John Marshall Meisburg, Jr.
Those who supported Hohert
Francis Kennedy for President
will never he able to go hack to
"life as usual." All across the
nation, men and women were
prompted to leave their homes,
business, and normal lives to
join in the Kennedy drive. Most
of them could hardly wait to
see another Kennedy in the
White House. It meant a return
to the excitement and greatness
of the vigorous Kennedy era.
Hut it was not to le. Another
gunman got in the way of the
Kennedy dream.
Hut the Kennedy people cannot simply return quietly to private life. Exhausted and disgusted they must le. Hut defeat, pessimism and despair are
just not part of the Kennedy image. In fact it is diametrically
opposed. Some former Kennedy people say they face a
dilemma, a dilemma of political
alienation. They see objections
to Humphrey and McCarthy.
The former is unacceptable on
the issue of Vietnam, and the
latter is objectionable on the issue of civil rights.
One of the big issues of the
current Presidential campaign
is the struggle letween the
"new politics" and the
"old politics." The new politics
of Kennedy
and McCarthy
seems to offer the American
people that they will have more
of a voice in their government.
The "new politics" seems to be
more responsive to the growing
political awareness in America,
especially among the young
people and the college students.
The "new politics" seems opposed to party "bossism."
On the other hand, the "old
politics" seems to be the politics of intrenched party bosses,
who feel remote from the people. The "old politics" seems to
le unresponsive to the growing political alienation that is

parties. Indeed the latest Gallup Poll showed that "independents" are now the second largest "political party" in America, scoring higher in the poll
than those who called themselves "Republicans." This growing block of alienated voters
must not be ignored, or go unrepresented.
The former backers of Robert
Kennedy thus face a dilemma.
And the only logical solution is
a consolidation of the "old" and
"new" politics. The only logical
solution is "Humphrey and
Kennedy in 1968." The Democrats should make this move for
