VOLUME XLV

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY, FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1954

Parking Tickets Given
To Cars Without Permits
Additional Fines
To Be Levied On
Unregistered Cars
The Judiciary Committee of the
Student Government Association
has announced that parking tickets
are now being given to automobiles
parked on campus without authorized permits.
Leslie Morris, chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, said that all
parking areas have been filled to
capacity and that the Committee is
now in the process of distributing
permits to the last of the qualified
applicants. He also noted that many
student-drive- n
autos had not been
registered with the Committee. A
$3.00 fine is added to the initial
parking ticket received by the owner of a
car.
Owners were given an opportunity
at the UK registration period to apply for permits and to register their
automobiles, but he added that the
Committee would be glad to receive
late registrations now in the office
of the Dean of Men.
Morris stated that the SGA policy
on parking fines is as follows: $1.00
each for the first and second tickets
received; $2.00 each for the third
and fourth tickets, and $5.00 each
for every ticket thereafter. Immediate payment, he added, prevents
the eventual doubling of fines. Official transcripts of grades cannot
be issued until students have paid
all delinquent fines.
Morris urged students to direct
further inquiries to Mrs. Rosemary
Harris, SGA secretary, and to make
an appointment to see the Judiciary
Committee if, for any reason, they
feel they have been done any injustice.

Public May View
Mars At UK Plant
The public will have a chance to
view Mars through the University

of Kentucky observatory telescope
tonight. Dr. H. H. Downing, professor of mathematics and astronomy, announced.
The observatory will be open tonight at 8:30 o'clock. Dr. Downing
said Mars, Earth and the Sun were
in a line last night and that tonight Mars will be closest to the
earth by a distance of approximately
40.000,000

miles.

Ray Jones is a happy man this week, and with
good reason. You see The 1954 Kentuckian, for which
he was business manager, will be going into the campus postoffice by the hundreds during the next few
days bound for all parts of the USA and in some
instances headed for overseas.
The people around the School of Journalism will
be happy, too for Ray and for themselves. They have
been replying to the flood of mail coming to The Kentuckian. The chant has been steady: "we want our

Kentuckian!"
Well, all 416 pages of the big and attractive 1954
Kentuckian will reply to the chant, and the Stirrup
Cup hereby extends an invitation to Ray to come in
and enjoy any two of their appetizing meals.

heard recently

A Virginia historian, Dr. Thomas
Perkins Abernethy, chairman of the
Department of History at the University of Virginia, visited the University Wednesday as the first summer lecturer in the UK Blazer Lecture Series.
Dr. Abernethy voiced distress at
what he termed "a very marked
tendency of . . . younger Southerners to apologize for our ancestors
and to think of them only as they
were connected with a system of
labor which we cannot approve. His
topic was "The Creed of the Old
South."
He continued, "We should not,
under the mistaken idea that we
are being 'liberal' disparage the
regime of our fathers. History is
not plastic, and the society of the
Old South had much that was worth
preserving."
The Virginia educator, himself a
native of Alabama, also pointed out:
"Its aristocratic flavor gave it
tone; its individualism bred democracy; its liberality added charm, and
its ideals furnished leadership. Let
us not apologize for it. Let us not
be ashamed because of Appomattox."
The speaker reminded his audience, that although It Is true that
slavery made it possible for the
South to develop a landed aristocracy and to follow British tradition
in social, political, and religious

is one that has lost ground with the
passage of time," Dr. Abernethy
said.
The Virginian contended that the
gentlemen of the Old South were
meticulous in carrying out their
social obligations, even though no
promise had been made.
"This involved hospitality to
strangers, loyalty not only to family
and friends, but to all who were dependent upon him. And in general,
the planter class was suspicious of
innovations and reforms and believed that the old ways were the best
ways."

The University Extension Department will present a series of free
motion picture programs for the
benefit of its personnel and summer
students. A group of seven full
length films will be featured by the
Summer Cinema.
On July 6, Susan Hay ward and
William Lundigan will recount the
story of simple faith in a small
Georgia community and how a
Methodist minister meets the crises
of his congregation in the film, "I'd
Climb the Highest Mountain."
"The Grand Concert" comes to the
Summer Cinema on July 13 bringing
a spectacular presentation of some
of the world's greatest artists of the
opera and ballet of the U.S.S.R.
The swashbuckling romantic tale
of "Captain Blood" appears July 20,
and the old soldier of fortune, Errol
Flynn, and his girl Olivia da Havil-lan- d

the speaker told the
local audience that "leadership of
the planter class, of course, had its
faults as well as its merits . . .
perhaps their greatest fault was
their lack in public education."

"Slavery was an evil system, but July 27. The spectacular, the drano people have ever managed it matic and the superb are ablely

speaker contended.

He urged his listeners to recognize

both the merits and faults of the

modern world might do well to remember and profit by them."
"Need we blush for a system that
produced Washington and Jefferson,
Calhoun and Clay, Lee and Jackson?"
The lecture was held as a joint
meeting of the Filson Club, Kentucky Historical Society; a dinner
preceded the lecture program.
University President H. L. Donovan presided at the program, and
the speaker was introduced by the
president of the Filson Club, Davis
Edwards, Louisville.

Department of History, and is made
possible by a grant established by
Mr. and Mrs. Paul G. Blazer,

presented by an excellent cast including Ronald Coleman, Jane
Wyatt, and Thomas Mitchell.
"O. Henry's Full House" will be
shown August 3. Five carefully selected O. Henry stories combined
with the continuity of John Steinbeck capture the classic humility
and insight into human nature that
O. Henry sought. Charles Laughton,
David Wayne, and Marilyn Monroe
are but a few of a long cast.
