A Colorful Life
After 35 years at the University,
Victor l. rortmann, assistant professor of journalism, is going on a
change of work status.
To look back over his 70 years is
to see a vast panoramic view of a
colorful life. His vocations include
semiprofessional athlete in both football and baseball, campaign manager, slide trombonist, and soldier in
World War I.
lie has been the editor of the
Clinic (Minn.) Independent, an edi
torial writer for the Minneapolis
Tribtinc, teacher, and acting head of
the Department of Journalism and
Publicity at the University of Arkansas. Currently, he is the secretary-manage- r
for the Kentucky Press Association.
Mr. Portmann came to the University in 1927 as an instructor; now

he is an assistant professor of journalism. In January, 1942, he took
over as the manager of the Kentucky
Press Association. Under his firm
leadership the organization has emerged from a social group into a staunch
professional society. He has given
the KPA its backbone.
However, Mr. Portmann's subtle
ability to organize the KPA has never
lessened his brilliance as a teacher.
With his gentle humor anil whimsical
anecdotes, Mr. Vic has remained a
most popular professor.
Tonight, Mr. Portmann will be
honored with a testimonial dinner.
Many of his friends will be there
and many nice things will be said.
However, Prof. Portmann's true accomplishments are buried deep within the students he has taught and in
the ethics of professional journalism.

April Observed
We know of a family so realistic
its members agree that April in the
north temperate zone is a winter
month. We know of tourists so experienced they agree that April in
Paris doesn't come until May. We
know of Britons (a few) who will
admit for Atlantic unity's sake that
an English April lasts all summer but
privately regard this as a score for
Browning.
Of course the key to whatever fallacies these concepts half conceal is
in the assumption that April is something you wait for, something that
will come to you sooner or later if
you are patient enough. A parent reluctant to start on the evening chore
of the nursery story explained that he
was waiting for a story "to come to

him. The child said, promptly and
passionately, "It doesn't come to you,
you go to it."
April stands afar off, on a long
slope of meadow where a black horse
shines hard and glazed against the
fragile green. April is that which disappears among the ruins of a snowbank in some shady place.
A fortunate few meet April face
to face without efTort. The rest of
us must be resigned to the role of
pursuers. We shall never be quite
sure what April is a daughter of
last winter's discontent, mother of
spring, or sister of tomorrow's summer. The Christian Science Mon- -

rearing, Kernel daily editor, recently attended
State Department briefing sessions in
Washington for members of the press.
The following artitlc is the last of
two- reports on the sessions.)

The President of the United States
stepped rather briskly toward the
auditorium
podium in the theater-lik- e
of the State Department to speak with
700 communications men ancj women
that day.
The stage had been transformed
in preparation for Mr. Kennedy: the
Seal of the President of the United
States, with the eagle's head pointing
toward the olive branch, had been
dropped as a background; the flags
were placed in gold standards, and a
small richly colored plaque, again
repeating the impression of the seal,
was placed immediately before the
rostrum.
Just 15 minutes before the President arrived, the White House guards
(dressed in not too imposing black
uniforms) moved slowly up aisles
checking for accreditation cards which
everyone had to be wearing.
A lady behind me was politely
kicked out because she was not wearing one of the white cards which also
pictured the seal.
Then I noticed a few young men
had taken seats in the first two rows
that had been filled by others just
minutes before. I was told these were
the secret service men.
It was revealing to think that no
matter what kind of personality the
president has, or how he looks, or
how he conducts his administration
or guides America, his elected position
carries respect, prestige, and protection.
At 4:18 p.m. 700 men and women
of the press rose to acknowledge the
fact that the President of the United
States had entered the auditorium;
that John F. Kennedy was walking
rather briskly to the podium to speak
to them.
There was no awe or mystery

His white businessman's
stood out brilliantly against an even,
bronze tan and slightly auburn hair.
It appeared that a year of putting
his administration into motion had
deepened the creases in his face until
now, with the tan, his face looked
like it had been hammered from a
sheet of bronze.
However, Mr. Kennedy's face was
also serious as if he had had a hard
day at the office and now was thinking about it in the back of his mind.
His voice sounded with conviction
but his face remained solemn. Only
during the question period and the
presentation that followed did he venture a big smile.
The president spoke without a
paper before him while his equally
tanned fingers again and again traced
the edges of the podium.
Most of the questions directed to
Mr. Kennedy were preceded with
"Mr. President"' and all but one lady
rose to ask his or her query.
From my seat, tagged CHS-f- or
this was the auditorium from which
the President broadcasts his press
conferences I listened and watched
Mr. Kennedy sharply and sometimes
humorously answer several questions.
Then, just because we rose as Mr.
Kennedy left the platform, I was again
sharply reminded of the respect paid
to the office of president of the
United States and to this man who, '
even at 45, still looked quite a bit
like a college senior.

If you keep your mind sufficiently
open people will throw a lot of rubbish into it. William A. Orton.
When I was a boy of 14, my father
was so ignorant I could hardly stand
to have the old man around. But when
I got to be 21, 1 was astonished at how
much he had learned in seven years.

ward a little and fell on the ground,
and prayed that, if it were possible,
the hour might pass from Him."
On this day we remember the
agony of Christ, man's Saviour, in the
of Gethsemane. Here Jesus
prayed after He had broken bread
with I lis disciples at the Last Supper.
On the next day He was to be crucified. Already He knew His hour was
come, and that He must offer His life
as a sacrifice for the sins of the world.
The Atonement, or mystery of the
Cross of Christ, is one of the great
truths of Christianity. It has never
been fully explained how, but Christians believe that "Christ died for our
sings according to the Scriptures."
The Crucifixion of Christ is an
awesome event in human history. It
is not just another martyrdom, but the
sacrifice of the Son of Cod for the
sins of men. It takes away the sin of
the world because it reveals the depth
and extent of Cod's love for good and
evil men alike.
