UK Press Seminar Studies
Role Of Mass Communications
The role of mass communications in, jnodern society was sub'
jected to 'close scrutiny at a
symposium sponsored by the
Schoolof Journalism this weekend.
Summing up the theme of the
meeting at the closing session
Saturday, Dr. Kenneth Bartlett,
vice president for University affairs at Syracuse University,
said that journalism and broadcasting should become the public's communicators.
Dr. Bartlett said the fiel dof
public communication should
provide society with the information that it requires about the
world in which it operates.
The Syracuse administrator
referred to a general disinterest
or lack of enthusiasm among
educators concerning the field
of mass communications. This,
he thinks, stems from ignorance
of the importance of the field
of public communications.
Calling communications "the
most promising force for unifying all people today," Dr. Bartlett suggested that newspapers
and broadcasting offer "the
greatest opportunity for integrating the many divergent interests of our society."
"Communications is the basic
ability which allows us to share
the knowledge from several
specialized fields," he said.
Dr. Bartlett spoke as a member of the panel which was featured at the Saturday symposium session. Other members of
the panel were Dr. Jay Jensen,

tors.

He said the research in mass
communications is continually
increasing, and a substantial
body of knowledge which has
been uncovered is sufficient to
guarantee the need for further
research in the future.
Mr. Baker was critical of the
nature of some research efforts
in the communications field,
noting that for the most part
basic research has no real benefit to offer in this area.
Research was defined by Mr.
Baker as "the diligent and systematic inquiry with the objective of learning general principles." Mentioning that there
are two types of research basic
and applied. The free and random search implied by the term
"Basic" has no place, according
to Mr. Baker, in the schools of
journalism.
Mr. Baker did agree that applied research had a great deal
to do with the ability of a newspaper to accurately gauge the
readers' response to the paper's
offering.
Panelists for the Friday session were Bill Williams, research
director for the Oklahoma Publishing Company in Oklahoma
City, Okla.; Julian Goodman,
vice president of NBC News,
New York; and Jensen.
Mr. Williams said the computer can be used to do the
busy work connected with the
publishing of a newspaper
billing, labeling papers for mailing, bundling papers to be circulated, etc. He also explained
how a computer has been used
with his publication to speed the
actual newsroom operation itself.

He noted that since the computer can do more of the routine
jobs more quickly and with

more accuracy than a staff
member, it can free these same
staffers to do the jobs the computer cannot do.
Mr. Williams explained the
operation which his
firm operates by computer. It
cost $250,000, a sum which discourages many newspapers from
installing the system. He does
expect, however, that more and
more newspapers will adopt the
computer system.

Second Coed
Hit By Car
Near Campus
For the second time within a
week a coed has been struck by
an automobile while crossing a
street near the UK campus.
Miss Diane Lee Smith, 19,
a sophomore commerce major,
was struck early Monday morning at the intersection of Euclid
Ave. and Harrison Ave., by an
automobile traveling west on
Euclid.
The driver of the auto, Miss
Kim Hale, 325 Columbia Terrace,
told police there were a group of
students standing on the corner
when Miss Smith stepped into
the path of her car.
Miss Hale reportedly then took
Miss Smith to the Medical Center, where the victim was treated
for an injury of the right leg and
a broken toe. No charges were
filed. She was released yesterday from University Hospital.
A resident of Blazer Hall,
Miss Smith is from Lenoir City,
Tenn.
Another UK coed, Miss Linda Rankin, 19, a sophomore education major from Ft. Thomas,
was hit by a car on Feb. 2 in
front of the Fine Arts Building
on Rose St. She was admitted
to the Medical Center for treatment of head cuts and a concussion. She has been released

but can be and should be the
dawn of its mission."
"In education," he said, "Our
real business is our unfinished
business."
The unfinished business for
UK involves making the university a servant of society. To
serve in this capacity, he said
that UK will concentrate its efforts in areas most vital to the
state. He named advancements
in agriculture, in the problems
of urbanization, and in the
problems of man's leisure time
as definite functions the institution can serve in society.
President Oswald said, "I do
not wish to be listed with those
pessimists who insist that the
University cannot effectively
play the dual role of both leader
and servant of society.
"But," he continued, "I recognize that only rigorous vigilance will enable us in the university to immerse ourselves in
society and at the same time
remain free to be its critic and
evaluator."
The
University president

The second pursuit of the
University will be establishing
a viable community college system throughout the state. A reexamination of curriculum "to
insure that our students are
equipped to live as well as to
make a living," was noted as
the third goal.
Another aim will be to expand the role of graduate and
faculty research and extension
programs throughout Kentucky.
More student involvement in
the university's mission concluded the list of principal goals
named by the president.
Dr. Oswald announced the
appointment of Dr. Thomas D.
("lark, head of the history department, as his special assistant
for commonwealth affairs. Dr.
Clark will organize a statewide
advisory council which will
make program suggestions to
UK.

Following the president's address, responses were made by
William B. Arthur, UK graduate and managing editor of Look
magazine and Harry Bingham,
editor and publisher of the Louand the
isville Courier-JournLouisville Times.
Stressing education as a solution for world problems, Arthur
said, "tho real hope of the
human race lies in the growth of
insight into human problems."
Publisher Bingham said that
UK's leaders are determined to
give the people an institution
that will live up to Benjamin
Disraeli's ideal university, "A
place of light, of liberty, and
of learning."

-- THE KENTUCKY KERNEL,
Tuesday, Feb. 9, 1965

Excerpts From President Oswald's Address

Following arc excerps from the
text of President Oswald's Centennial preview address.
One hundred years ago a farmer
from Mercer County forced upon an
indifferent legislature and a hesitant
governor the ratification of the Morrill Land-GraCollege Act of 1862.
With eloquent idealism, John Bowman proclaimed:
"I want to build up a people's
institution, a great free University,
eventually open to the poorest boy
in this land, who may come and receive an education practical and
suitable for any business or profession in life. I want to cheapen this
whole matter of education, so that,
under the broad expansive influence
of our Republican institutions, and
our advancing civilization, it may
run free, as our great rivers, and bless
the coming millions," sowrotejohn
Bowman 100 years ago.
A century later, we pause to reflect on the events which Bowman
set in motion. For the General Assembly, either knowingly or otherwise, on George Washington's birthday in 1S65, established more than
just another institution of higher
education. The ratification of this
Act in 1S65 put the Commonwealth
in step with a new and revolutionary
movement; we aligned ourselves
with those who proposed to change
the concept of education for a few
and of a classical nature, tothe concept of education for all with a strong
emphasis which meets the needs of
society. The question raised, put
another way, was this: Can a University be both a leader and servant
of society?
In our Centennial year, it is proper that we reflect with pride on the
manner in which the Agriculture and
Mechanical College and later the
University of Kentucky responded to
this challenge. Certainly, we can be
proud of this fact that the University
of Kentucky has brought quality
education within the reach of all our
people, and that many of our graduates from all stations in life have
distinguished themselves in every
field of work. At the same time, we
have increasingly mobilized the resources of the University to meet the
critical needs of our society. To be
sure, "quantity education" and
"quality education" have not been
incowipatible at the University of
Kentucky.
But in education our real business is our unfinished business.
birthHappily, the
day of a University is not the twilight of life, but can be and should
be the dawn of its mission. Even in
our Centennial year, especially in
our Centennial year, we dare not
yield to the temptation to spend all
of our time recalling achievements
of the century now concluded, or
even noting our present vitality
though reflection on both will reveal
significant accomplishments. Instead, our Centennial aim from the
beginning has been one of looking
ahead, an attempt to face up to our
problems, both present and future.
I would say that Mr. Bowman's
dream of 1S65 became a reality only
because he was willing to look to
the future rather than to the past.
In 1965 we face anew the chalidea. We
lenge of the land-graaccept the concept that education
should be available to all to the limit
of the student's potential, yet hold
steadfastly to the concept of "academic excellence." The attainment
of these ideals is increasingly diffi-cul- t.
We know that by 19707,000.000

ourselves in society and at the same
time remain free to be its critic and
evaluator. It is imperative that we
protect the University from those
who would limit its search for the
truth to their own image of reality.
We must also be on guard lest
our influence belimitedtoareasthat
affect only economic and industrial
growth. It is imperative that liberal
education prevail in the scholarly
community at the same time we
strive to meet the pressures on us to
use our resources to improve the economic and social position of the society in which we exist. Walkingthe
thin line which properly divides the
emphasis on making a living, as
contrasted with equipping our students to live, will become increasingly difficult as the accumulation of
knowledge continues in a geometric
fashion. Solving this problem, I feel,
is a major challenge of our second
century. We must recognize that the
training of specialists to deal with
specific problems does not substitute
for the kind of knowledge that is indispensable to the intellectual and
cultural development of the whole
individual.
In our Centennial year, we accept
both challenges. For over a year
now, we have been planning and
launching a program aimed at both
"excellence" and increased service.
Last June, there was presented tothe
Board of Trustees an academic analysis, aimed at paving the way for the
first decade of our new century. The
entire University community is now
discussing the needs and goals of
that analysis. I have urged that regardless of the "means" we finally
adopt, we recognize at least five imperatives, all of which I have tried
to stress repeatedly since my. inauguration last spring. First, I have
stressed the necessity for creating an
environment which will enable us
to retain and attract the necessary
faculty so vital to a university. It
must be said again and again, that
the University's role is to teach, todo
research, and toprovide service, and
the quality of all three of these depends largely on the quality of the
people that are doing it the faculty.
Secondly, we must recognize that

persons will be qualilud tor and
seeking admission to the nation's-collegeand universities. College
enrollments in 1970 will be nearly
100 percent higher than in 1933. This
problem at the University of Kentucky roughly parallels that of the
national area. By 1975, for example,
our enrollments at Lexington will
approach 20,000. With this dramatic
increase in the number of students
will come enormous demands on our
resources, both human and physical.
At the same time, the nation expects higher education toprovide for
the knowledge and skills necessitated by the technological revolution
and the international crises. The potential threat to "excellence" is obviousso great, in fact, that some
of those pessimists have declared
that mass education in the future is
incompatible with "excellence" in
education.
Higher education, in addition, is
increasingly asked to intensify its
role as servant of society. In the past
100 years, we have seen the state
universities of this nation becoming
more and more involved in every
facet of society. So great is the involvement of the university in government research projects and service roles that a spokesman, recently,
of the Association of State Universities and Land-GraColleges referred to higher education as the
"Fourth Branch of Government."
Even a minor prophet can see
that the University's role as a servant
will increase. Our present effort in
the support of agriculture must be
intensified as the farmer is expected
to produce more and more food and
fiber on less and less land. As our
society becomes more and more urbanized with the attendant problems
of the pressures of people accumulating in confined areas, there will be
great need to extend the land-graconcept of service to the urban and
city areas as well as continue the
strong program it has provided the
rural and agricultural areas. The
great problems of urbanization
slums, air pollution, traffic control
yes, even the problems of man's
leisure as his life span extends must
become very central concerns of
higher education.
While applauding this extension
of scholarship into the direction of
human problems, I recognize the
potential dangers. I do not wish to
be listed with those pessimists who
insist that the university cannot effectively play the dual role of both
leader and servant of society. But I
recognize also that only rigorous
vigilance will enable us to immerse

Outlines Education's Unfinished Business

Continued From Tag 2
an expanding community college
system is centra". o our goal of "full
opportunity" with "excellence." We
have now established a distinct
community college system; I continue to believe that this system will
be one of our most valuable instruments in the years ahead in preserving the belief that each individual
should be provided the maximum
opportunity to eduacte himself to
the limit of his capacity.
Thirdly, is the cmperative to examine our curriculum to insure that
our students are equipped to live as
well as to make a living. Our obligation is to provide a liberal base
for all of our students. The Centennial year is highlighted by an examination of our curriculum in terms of
this imperative.
Fourthly, the University must expand its role as servant of society
which means a greater emphasis on
graduate and faculty research, and
extension programs that will contribute to both the region and to our
own Commonwealth.
Fifthly, is the imperative to involve our students, just as we have
in the case of this Centennial, more
centrally in the mission of the University. We seek an atmosphere in
which students, faculty, and citizens
work together as partners in the
pursuit of excellence.
Finally, I am now convinced of a
sixth imperative. We must seek the
help of people throughout the Commonwealth who believe we can both
lead and serve, and whowish tohelp
us do both effectively. Daily I meet
people in this Commonwealth who
wish to help us make the University

-

welfare through the growth and
communication of knowledge in an
atmosphere of free inquiry. We shall
begin by organizing a state-wid- e
advisory committee of leaders of the
Commonwealth citizens of the
Commonwealth which will hopefully sit down with us before the end of
this Centennial year and share their
thoughts on how the University of
Kentucky can provide miximum support to our Commonwealth as we
enter the second century. Personally,
I am so convinced of the
importance
and indeed the necessity, for this
kind of help that I am announcing
tonight that I shall call on one of
our most distinguished and learned
faculty members your own capable
chairman of our Centennial Committee, Dr. Thomas Clark, to serve as a
special assistant to the President for
Commonwealth affairs. I shall ask
him to serve through the next academic year in order to help organize
this Advisory Council from which
we can seek to blueprint the mission
of this University to its state. I can
think of no period of history when
higher education needed so desperately as it does today the support
of all who believe that a University
has both a duty to truth and a duty
to the welfare of mankind.
From all of this, it is perhaps
obvious, that our Centennial year is
a time for us to assess the past, to
redefine our objectives and to make
preparation for a rapid growth and
significant change; it is also time for

this regard, our Centennial year
affords a unique opportunity. We
shall be in a position to interact on
our own campus with some of the
world's most distinguished scholars
and leaders in all major fields of
learning. The preview booklet at
your plate describes a number of
programs that are designed to serve
as a stimulus among our faculty,
students, alumni, friends, and trustees for this period of detailed planning to meet the problems of our
second century. The programs described in this preview should enable all of us in the university community to carry on a mutually profitable interchange of ideas on the
role of the University in teaching,
research, and service as related to
the state and nation at large.
One of our major programs is our
"Distinguished Visiting Centennial

Religion."
You will also note our plans for
Centennial publications, two of
which you have heard described tonight; the number of learned and
professional meetings on our campus
in 1965; and the special performances
of our Fine Arts Department. I would
also call to your attention our Centennial Speakers Bureau, which is
composed of 100 faculty, students,
trustees, and alumni who will be
willing throughout the Centennial
year to carry the Centennial story to
all parts of the state.
Many of you today participated
in the first of 12 Centennial Symposia. The School of Journalism
Symposium entitled "Revolution in
Mass Communication" brought to
our campus five of the country's
most distinguished leaders in mass
communications. I certainly want
Professors Jensen and Bartlett; and
Mr. Baker, Mr. Williams, and Mr.
Coodman to know the great distinction which their presence has brought
to our Centennial Observance.
One aspect of our Centennial that
has been especially pleasing tome is
the work of our Student Centennial
Committee. I am also heartened by
my meeting today with the Blue
Crass Centennial Committee and
with the organization today of an
Alumni and Commonwealth Centennial Committee.
Finally, I want to call to your
attention the day we've talked about
much Feb. ,22 and issue a special
invitation to all of you at this time
to return to celebrate with us. At
that time we will give special recognition to our most distinguished
hisgraduates in our hundred-yea- r
tory. In addition to Gov. Breathitt
and many other distinguished citizens of the Commonwealth, William
Friday, President of the University
of North Carolina; and Professor
Robert Lumiansky, Chairman of the
Board of the American Council of
Learned Societies, and others will
join in the observance with us.
And just today the White House
has authorized Cov. Breathitt and 1
to announce th"t the President of the
United States will be with us for the
Founder's Dayconvocation at2p.ni.

History And The Greeks
History is, by nature, demanding of the Greek system.
One could say that history behaves like a snowball, carrying
forward the elements in its path.
Since its latest turn began more
than
years ago it has grown
immensely in breadth. And it rolls
ever faster, leaving behind that
which will not attach itself, or
which cannot remain attached.
The Greek system incohesive
with the great mass of history which
moves forward daily is surely
being left behind.
History demands that a thing
be possessed of enduring significance, that it partake of lasting
values, lest it be cast aside. Nor
is this alone sufficient. These values must be interpreted within
the context of the present. And
this is the key to understanding
the failure of the Greek system.
We cannot question the worth
of the ideals upon which the Greek
system is built. But we submit
that these ideals have not been
translated into the language of
the mid-20t- h
century. We cannot
question brotherly love, or honor,
or service. We simply deny that
these concepts have been adapted
to the environment presented by
the modem university.
These ancient principles were
first given expression, within the
context of a social fraternity, at
a time in history characterized by
provincialism. They were juxtaposed against the cultural milieu so
aptly described by Thorstein Veb-le6--

n.

Brotherly love meant that glowing comradeship of the elite; honor
was the word for a special set
of rules that applied among the
elect; and, service was a happy
condescension to the necessity for
being useful.
The unfortunate legacy of this
beginning is the set of factors which
comprise the image of the Greek
system today. These are the elements which we have cometoasso-ciat- e
with the term "Greek" and
which form the picture of Greek-doin our heads: money, social
stature, social skills, prominence
in campus leadership, academic
achievement, and good looks. It
is by these standards that we have
come to judge fraternities and sororities, and that Greeks themselves
are tempted to judge members and
potential members.
