involving SDS members. Washburn is a member of the campus
SDS chapter.
Robert Walker, president of
the Student Center Board, Monday read a letter from Johnson
in which he restated his position
that anyone can speak any time
on the campus.
"I honestly believe," the vice
president wrote the Board, "that
the Forum Committee (of the
Board) could offer more than the
student could provide himself,
i.e. promotion, advertising, a
larger audience, a PA system,
etc.
"At no time did 1, or anyone
else to my knowledge, suggest
for a moment that the young man
did not have the right to speak,"
Johnson wrote.
"I apologize if my own interest in adding to substantive

campus discussions has created
problems for the Student Center
Board," Johnson's letter concluded.

Harris told the Board that
he had suggested a delay because of the absence of a clear
policy on such matter and until
a suitable format and orderly
discussion could be arranged.
"There Is no policy against

tration and alumni.
However, President John W.
Oswald, contacted Tuesday, said
he thinks "the student purpose
can better be served without
students actually being on the
Board." He stressed the importance of student opinion being
a consideration of the Board,
but said the mechanics for this
presently arc available.
In an interview, Breathitt said
that although adding student
representation to the Board
would require a change in the
Kentucky Revised Statutes, "the
decision should be determined
from within the University."
But the governor said it is
a "healthy situation" for students to have a voice in the
decision-makin- g

process.

He

added that students should be
given "more and more" responsibility.

Breathitt said Oswald "has

made a lot of strides in this

direction."
However, Breathitt, who by
law sits as chairman of the Board,
said he has tried not to impose
his views on the internal workings of the University.
The move to obtain student
representation on the Board began through Student Government. However, the idea was
apparently dropped when it was
discovered such representation
would require a change in state
law.
Elaborating on his feeling

that there is no need for a student seat on the Board, Oswald
explained that the two faculty
members on the Board serve as
educational spokesmen and do
not sit as representatives of the
academic Senate. "At this point,
students do not have the background and experience to be educational spokesmen," he added.

Southern Educators Ask
For More NDEA Funds
The Southern Association of Land-GraColleges and State Universities closed its annual
meeting Tuesday at Carnahan House with a
resolution that NDEA fellowships be distributed
on a more equitable basis to include southern
colleges.
Auburn President Harry Philpott made the
resolution, pointing out that whereas the fellowallocations

to 23 percent.
Specifically the resolution stated, "the total
allocation to all institutions in any state should
not be less than one-ha- lf
the number which
would be awarded on a fractional basis."
Copies of the resolution are to be sent to all
college presidents and to state's Washington representatives along with a personal letter asking "support for an appropriate amendment to the NDEA
which would result in termination of inequitable
regional distribution of fellowships."
PhiliMitt noted with his resolution that trend

He also said that as president, he represents both faculty
and student interests to the
Board. He said the "student
purpose can be channeled
through the president by a petition or otherwise."
Dr. Oswald said there would
be no continuity in a student
seat. He explained that a student would be on the Board
for a year or two, and then
another one would replace him.
"Students would not have the

said.

philosophy of NDEA. A follow-ualso approved to further advance the resolution.
Earlier in the morning program. Dr. Winfred
Godwin, director of the Southern Regional Education Board, recounted actions by that group
to aid the South's predominately Negro colleges.
p

An SREB commission has been given a $300,000

Carnegie Grant to assess the past and present role
of these Negro colleges. The commission will issue
a report of its findings and suggest a program of
action whereby the regional board can aid the
schools.

Godwin discussed other current projects investigating graduate education in agricultural
science, the use of educational television and
recorded materials in coordinated plans between
universities, and the costs of advanced graduate
education especially in emerging state universities.

He said that although UK
will be the major university in
the state, "any student who goes
to Western should get just as
good an education in what he is
taking as a student anywhere

else."
The four new universities will
be able to recruit better faculty
members as a result of their new
status, he said.
Breathitt said the newly created Council on Public Higher
Education "will chart a strong
course for educational institutions." This should be an "effective body to prevent dilution
of our standards," he said.

Breathitt Supports
Free Speech Here
Gov. Edward T. Breathitt said
Monday a university is a place
where "young people should express themselves through thought
and free speech."

In an interview, Breathitt emphasized the importance of free
speech at the University. "In a
university community, people
must think and develop their
own ideas," he said.
However, there are certain
limitations on free speech for
all citizens, and these should be
observed, the governor said. He
would not elaborate on what he
felt to be the limitations.

Dishwashing Machines To Teaching

16 UK Students Work At Narcotics Hospital

things are run in a military fashion.

The boys live on the second

came a few years ago when "a

The Q, S, and L employees

Boyer has found that sometimes

"The students do not necessarily work in their college
major area," Corton said, "But

The only qualification is that
the student be a regular college
student willing to work the required 14 hours a week, he said.
Since the program began in
1942, several hundred UK students have worked at the hospital. "The major idea is to help

'Zhivago' Tells Of Revolution

By DICK KIMMINS
Kernel Arts Writer

But back to the movie. Robert
Bolt, who wrote the play "A
Man for All Seasons," wrote the
screenplay for "Zhivago." If anyone could adequately transform
g
Boris Pasternak's Nobel
book into a film script,
Bold could. His version is the
best job that possibly could have
been done in changing the poetry
and sheer magnificence of Pasternak's prose into a straight dialogue.

Mother always said 65,000
square feet of concrete can build
a good set but can't guarantee
a good movie. She was right,
but in "Doctor Zhivago," David
Lean has built stupendous sets
and managed to present us with
a startling account of the Russian Revolution that adds up to

Prize-winnin-

a very good epic movie.
The real value of "Zhivago"
lies not in the moral lassitudes
of a good doctor, but rather in
the excellent portrayal of a nation, the Russian nation, in a
time of internal turmoil. After
sitting through three hours of a
poignant mixture of snow and
despair, the viewer can realize
why the Russian people act like
they do.
When a nation is continually
subjugated, a rebellious instinct
becomes inherent. The militancy
and the distrust of anything foreign, which are traits prevalent
in the Russian heritage, are a
direct result of the treatment the
Russian people have received
from alien nations and most certainly from their own leaders.

Omar Sharif has worked with
Director Lean in one other film,
"Lawrence of Arabia." Lean
knows a good actor when he sees
one, and really picked a pro
when he chose Sharif to play
the title role. Sharif s change from
an elite doctor to a groveling
peasant is superb. Yet Zhivago
never seems to lose that poetic
emotionalism when he sees the
skt or touches a flower.
Geraldine Chaplin, as Zhiva-go'- s
wife back in Moscow, and
Julie Christie, as Zhivago's diversion during the Revolution, presents an endless conflict in Zhivago's mind between what is morally right and what is morally
wrong. Both girls play their parts
quite well. Charlie Chaplin's
daughter Geraldine makes an outstanding American screen debut
and Miss Christie clearly demonstrates her Academy Award winning acting talents.

Thank you.

That is not the solution. It has already been shown that even qualified students that is students with

In like manner, the University

essentially the same thing in areas

Programs designed to help students adjust to what the University will require is what Trustee
Jones and the University seem to
be after.
Such programs should be continued and expanded; the University should not be made solely responsible for aiding the disadvantaged just because they might
someday decide to enter it. The
responsibility lies also with the
schools in the state and other
agencies which are intended to
help these people.
A mere lowering of standards

Williams did not neglect the
impact which federal money can
have on determining an institution's goals. "Federal fellowship programs have surprisingly
few strings attached . . . yet . . .
it is just this federal aid that
determines more and more which
disciplines will develop strong
graduate programs in America."
"My point is here that the
shape of higher education in
America is being more and more
determined by agencies outside
the academic community, by
agencies whose first concern is
not, and cannot be, the overall

day.

According to Williams they
include:
1. The familiar complaint of
too much emphasis on graduate
training in the sciences.
"Certainly we need scientists;
but am not sure that so high
a proportion of our best young
minds should follow the lure of
fat fellowships into the sciences,"
Williams contends.
