naive as to say there will be no
reaction.
"We were not made an offer by
any firm, nor did we approach
them because we did not feel that
there was anyone in town who
would like to go out and sell ads."
Ed Templin, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, declined
to comment. He said that he was
not familiar with the details of
the situation.
Sipple said, "We feel it is a good
contract. It has taken a burden
off our shoulders and saved us at
least $1,000, if not more.
"Moreover, the directories will
be out 30 days after we compile
the names and send them to the
company in Texas. There they will
be printed by an IBM machine at
the rate of 2,400 an hour. In four
or five hours they will be ready to
go to the printers."
He further stated that there Is
a very good possibility that they
will not be printed in Texas. If the
company can find a reliable printing firm In Charleston, Cincinnati,
or Louisville, they will send the
IBM prints back to It for printing.

Kennedy said most students bought three to five books a semester,

Give Students A Break

Next year's Student Directory will
not cost Student Congress a single
penny if the glowing reports coining
from the congress turn out to be true.
A Texas firm will handle the publication of the directory, which has
been printed locally in the past at
a cost of several hundred dollars a
year to Student Congress. This firm
will derive its profit from the sale
of local and national advertising to
be included in the directory.
Before the approval of the contract, we were told that the congress
would share in these advertising
profits, receiving a small percentage
(5 percent on local and 10 percent
on national advertising) of the net
revenue.
Two weeks ago, congress President Garryl Sipple noted that a
directory printed by the Texas company might sell for as much as 75
cents but "artistically . . . would make
the Lexington phone book look like
a funny page." We have stated our
lack of concern over the directory's
artistic merits. Any type of book will

do so long as it includes all the desired information.
It now appears that we will have
the "artistic" directory, but will we
also have the
price tag mentioned by Mr. Sipple? We hope not.
It seems almost needless to say
that Student Congress would make
a tremendous profit if it sold directories that cost it nothing for 75 cents
each. Such a circumstance is unlikely
to occur, but it is likely that the
congress will set some price for the
directories.
Considering the cost of the books
to the congress, if it chose to charge
more than 10 cents for them, it would
be charging too much. Students now
find themselves receiving little more
than the satisfaction of knowing they
are helping support the debate team,
House President's Council,
Married Housing Council, and Stylus
for the 50 cents they automatically
give the congress each semester.
Surely a break on the price of
the directory wouldn't be expecting
too much.

not bring as bright a glow to our
heart as one would expect after our

We are pleased that our pleas
for improved lighting for the entire
campus, not just isolated parts of it,
have been heard and are being considered. There is more to it than that,
however. There is a matter of a
quarter of a million dollars.

At Frankfort the lighting request

such considerations as the University

insignificant.
We hope it doesn't look so insignificant as to be bypassed by the

To The Editor:
We commend CORE and the
courageous professors and students
for last Feb. 17's demonstrations.
Many of us here at UK were unaware
that Negro students are not allowed
to see a movie in the downtown area.
It took CORE to bring it to our attention.
To what respectable place can a
Negro boy take his date? To see the
only available movie in town he must
enter by a side entrance and climb
three decaying flights of stairs. At
that height one would need binoculars
to see the picture and, ". . . you are
in constant fear of losing your balance."
Where can a Negro student living
in the dorms eat on Sunday night?
The SUB is closed and, contrary to
popular belief, the restaurants near
campus will not serve a person of the
Negro race. Can it be because of their
color? No! We have seen foreign
students of a darker skin served while
the Negro citizen is ignored.
How long is it going to take Lexington to wake up to reality? Very
little is ever said alxnit the racial
problem here. Are we hoping that
by keeping quiet the problem will
disappear? Yes, we are proud of
CORE for its efforts to place the
Negro on the level where he belongs

were killed.
It is a question whether the National Safety Council's holiday practice of projecting total deaths serves
any useful purpose except the setting
up of unconscious targets. For if a
holiday weekend that produces 450
deaths can be considered comparatively safe, then we have taken the
first step toward official acknowldeaths
edgement that a
is par for the holiday course and can
be accepted, if not with equanimity,
at least without undue horror. . . .
The point is, however, that we
have no moral right to list even one
death on the highway as an acceptable norm. Every one of the 4SS and
more killed over the last weekend
is dead prematurely, and most of
them (mite avoidably. Perhaps if we
set less store by slogans and targets
as to what is safe, and more by
enforcement of
laws, our weekends the year round
might be a little less lethal than they
are.

Aside from journalistic apathy and
editorial reverence for the status quo,
much of the Lexington CORE's lack
of publicity to which you call attention has Ihcii due to choice. Lexington CORE kept a promise to the local
store managers, insuring them that
when they would integrate their
lunch counters CORE would not publicize it but would let it take place
without fanfare.
In your editorial you mentioned
the Friday night arrest of six CORE
members on a breach of peace
charge. What you failed to add was
that the case was dismissed Saturday
afternoon because it could not be
etablished where any breach of the
peace had, in actuality, occurred.
We, too, feel that accepted integration will be realized. We agree

To The Editor:
May I suggest that CORE methods
in moderation (as they are here)
are needed in Lexington as they are
needed many places to promote integration. CORE methods as they
stand in Lexington at the moment
do not border on another "Little Rock
or Athens." With fanatics they admittedly might. However, it is my hope
(since integration of the schools was
peaceful and quiet) that Lexington
or the University do not contain
Southerners of the caliber of Athens
or Little Rock, but merely people like
a University professor who have
enough gumption to stand by their
convictions and further, to do
about it. Without these people
who work peacefully, the integration
cause would stand still until incidents
like Little Rock or Athens bring the
situation to a head. I fed that CORE's
methods are the normal evolution of
the process of integration.

is the point you are trying to make?
In your statement that the "evolutionary pace set here is working
satisfactorily," you have implied that
something happens because of time,
per se. You reflected the same old
fallacious argument that just by giving it time things will turn out."
This just is not the case! Time, qua
time, accomplishes nothing; it is important only insofar as it allows
things to be done, actions to be taken.
There is much that can be done
by you, fellow students, such as speaking with the managers of our local
thculcrs and with around
restaurant owners telling them how
you leel. This much you can do to
eliminate discriminatory practices in
Lexington without becoming alliliated

Support Fair Play

To The Editor:
Alter reading your provocative
editorial (Feb. 22, "Not needed
Here") several times, I am unclear
as to precisely what you are attempting to say.
When referring to Lexington
CORE you speak of a "passive" group.
You have here confused
passivity
with nonviolence. Lexington CORE,
like CORE nationally, uses the
method of nonviolent direct action.
As i result of such action in the form
"
of
and negotiations over a
period of one year, several downtown
lunch counters have been opened to
the public. Therefore your indictment that Lexington CORE ". . . has
met little success" is not accurate.
Of course, there is much remaining
to be done in practically every area.
