Dr. Library Planning Institute Federal Grant Of $70,963 Set For Course 19G5 Eight Pages The Curriculum Study mittee of the Commission on Public Education, appointed by the Kentucky Legislature in 1960, found the library collections in Kentucky schools unsatisfactory, Mr. Leach said. The committee placed particular stress on the need for more and better materials for various subject areas of the curriculum and for assistance to librarians in selection by specialists in subject areas. The committee also found the general selection aids usually used by librarians inadequate for selection of specialized materials, and magazine holdings were especially weak, according to Leach. Mrs. Georgia R. Cole, assistant professor of library science, will be director of the institute, and Miss Margaret Roser, instructor in library science, will serve as associate director. e Four instructors and e 21 instructors will be appointed for the institute.

Oswald became the sixth president of the University. His plans and accomplishments would seem to take far longer than the time he has been here. He is attempting to bring UK up to other leading state universities, such as Ohio State, North Carolina, Illinois, and others. The interest the president has instilled in the University students can never be recorded, however, the changes that he has made to improve the University can be listed. President Oswald said in a message to the Board of Trustees last June, "a university must endeavor to make ideas a more welcome element of the campus atmosphere." This would seem to be President Oswald's main theme for the changes that he has made his first three semesters here. He has tried to expand the A University and allow more research and thought from the faculty and students. Some of the principle changes that President Oswald has made his first three semesters are: An attempt to meet the question of how to provide quality education in quantity. The newly created and broadened community colleges system is part of the Oswald answer. The number of community Colleges throughout the state have increased to seven since Dr. Oswald ever-prese- nt took office. Large steps toward improvement in the present system that will allow the University to recruit and maintain a quality staff. The new pay system will leave the faculty two months to do research or other teaching positions without cutting pay. President Oswald has established easier lines of communication between president and deans and president and students.

A change from the department head system to the department chairman system. Rotation of chairmen will keep a quality teacher from being tied down in administration indefinitely. He has proposed a campus plan to be completed by 1968 to handle the record demands for classrooms, dormitories, and laboratories that will be present at that time. President Oswald's accomplishments have been with the student body itself. When he first came to UK, the Friday afternoon discussions between president and student body were soon created. We also acted on student problems. When a student group presented a petition to the president on the poor handling of registra- tion, he acted immediately to lessen this problem the next semester. Dr. Oswald also lifted the probation restriction from the fraternity system giving them more opportunity at self government. He has tried this same plan with June, President Oswald presented a list of what the University should accomplish the next few years: The enrollment will increase to 23,500 by 1975 with 18,000 on the Lexington campus and 5,500 in the community colleges.

CJye * THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Wednesday, Feb. 21, 1905 -- 3 IFC Action Is Positive Indication System Is Responsibility Of All Greeks Edit or s Nolc: Because of recent happenings within the University's Greek system and certain sentiments voiced about this situation, this society page takes an objective and realistic look at the system. It also shows that any problem we may have is the responsibility of the whole, not a part of that whole. Last week IFC ruled to outlaw treeing and close all fraternity parties except to members. Some people say this was too much action some say it was not enough. This, however, is not the important issue. The action was the result of a steadily worsening problem within the Greek system. And until the problem is resolved, the Greeks as a whole not just fraternities will be the targets for further criticism. Take first the recent IFC ban on treeings. Treeing evolved as a means of celebrating an active getting pinned. The woman now "owns" the pin the physical asset that shows the world she belongs to e someone. The has lost his association by giving iving away the pin. The treeing ceremony, then, serves the same purpose for him as the pin for the woman. Panhellenic has, when called upon for a similar decision toban treeing, avoided the issue by the motion for further debate. In effect, then, they have said, "we have no part in the tradition and the decision cannot and should not be ours." But the decision is, at least in part, the responsibility of the women for to whom do the men become pinned if it is not women? The Greek system is a unique organization. Unique in that it even attempts to form a union of individuals. This is to be commended in that it has shown great success. Why, then, all the criticism? Is it that the unity exists only superficially? That the idea of the pin-mat- fraternal spirit is mere verbalizing for the sole purpose of enhancing and perpetuating "The Image?" Unquestionably the idea of image is important. We have all become image conscious to the extent that the individual his thoughts and ideas have become submerged. We have evolved to a generation of students whose purpose is, somehow, just out of reach. But the purpose is there. This cannot be denied to the Greeks or to any group or individual. The question, then, is why and how the purpose has been overshadowed. It has been said that we have made no commitment and we have agreed. But the concept of commitment has itself been left obscured in vague generalization; again, just out of reach. As Greeks it seems that it has fallen to us todefine commitment not only for ourselves but for the entire student community. The idea of commitment is Independents Share 'Burden9 University students not associated or affiliated with sororities and fraternities also have responsibilities to the Greek system. Fraternities no longer require membership in their chapters as a prerequisite for enjoying the benefits of the Greek social life. The men throw their doors wide open to members and guests alike and even a few who are not guests and require only a handshake or two and an "I know so and so " to welcome one and all to their functions. Says one UK fraternity alumnus: "If I were entering UK right now, I wouldn't think of joining a fraternity. "I would get myself an apartment, make friends with some fraternity men from four or five good groups and invite them over for a party or two. . .I'd have it made from then on." If the fraternities are nice enough to share the fun and laughs (and one group even opened it's cultural program to all students of the University), it seem the least we can do is not abuse the privilege. Because we, as individuals, may not have to share the responsibility which results from membership in an organized group, in the same sense we must, For Your Perfect WEDDING INVITATIONS and ANNOUNCEMENTS not hinder that group's commitment. And men are not the only ones who enjoy the privileges of fraternities. Greek men have never limited themselves to dating sorority girls. What the ladies will abide, the men will provide. As long as a woman will date a fellow so that she may return to her dormitory and tell her roommate about her awful, "gross" date and then go out with him the next weekend who can condemn whom? as individuals, "BEE" BARNES 121 Walton Avenue Lexington,. As independents we have a certain pride in our individualism. If we don't like something, or have no interest in it, we have nothing to do with it. But if we become involved in something, we have the responsibility of the individual to complete it. And this applies to the fraternity system. If we take advantage of the assets of the Greek system, we also commit ourselves, just like a part of that system, to responsibility for its success or failure. basically an individual one, though not entirely free from application to the Creek system; and, for our present purpose can only be applied to the problems at hand. Other examples which bring the responsibility to bear on the women are "wild parties." Clearly, parties would not exist if men did not ask women as dates. A social event without women is not a party it is not even a social event! Along these lines, women have complained of "grossness" on the part of some fraternity members . . .but that is all they have done. Some, perhaps, have gone a step further and left the party early, vowing never to return, but many come back the next week. By returning or not taking some positive action, they were condoning, if not advocating the activity they had originally decried. Certainly, Panhellenic is not exclusively responsible, but they are the "other half of the Greek system, and if change is necessary it must come from within, lest the system be completely destroyed from without. The examples are many, the point obvious. If the Creek system is to remain it must accept the responsibility for an individual member's action. As a unified body. . .not the Interfratcrnity Council on one side, and the "uninvolved" Panhellenic on the other. ..the Creek system must acknowledge that the whole can be nothing more than the sum of all its parts; that to function strongly and effectively the "burden of guilt" must be shared before it can be conquered. No Universal Gypsy Tunes - NEW YORK (AP) In preparing the score for "Bajour," Broadway's new show about gypsies, composer Walter Marks discovered that there's no such thing as "gypsy music." "Gypsies in different parts of the world have different kinds of music," he reports, "each with its own beat, rhythm and emotional feeling." Turkish gypsies, Marks found, are strong for Arabic melodies. The ones in this country improvise on American tunes, with "Amapola" being a particular favorite.

War On Poverty At last, with the "War On Poverty," we are focusing attention on the great paradox: the existence of the poor among the af- fluent. national problem of this scope has to begin somewhere, and there is perhaps no better beginning for the poverty bill than Appalachia. But another segment of the American community needs large-scal- e help as badly, and possibly worse than, the backhills farmers the poverty-stricke- n city folk. For every large city has its slums there's Irish Town in Lexington, the West end of Louisville, and the West Side in Manhattan. It can be argued that poor people are scattered everywhere, but nowhere are they in such great concentrations and blamed for so many social evils as in the slums. These people, like so many in Appalachia, are not on the brink of subsistence, but they are horribly poor. To listen to some authorities, one might get the idea that all juvenile delinquency begins in the slums. This, of course, is far from the truth. Any newspaper any day can verify that. But let's face it with no real home and no place else to go, what else is there for slum youth to do but roam around in gangs, or get into sex trouble, or street fight? A A New View City living now is a dangerous proposition. How many times have you heard people say. "I wouldn't mind living in the city, but you couldn't pay me to raise my kids there!" And why? Well, whowants their children to be out with "those slum kids?" And worse, whowants to live next door to them? What our cities need is a federal bill, perhaps an addition to the "War on Poverty" legislation, aimed at the rehabilitation of our slums areas and, more important, of our slum dwellers. We need low-cohousing in abundance; we need play areas for children and a
