Oswald Describes Extension
Reorganization To Senate

President John W. Oswald
outlined proposals for expanding
and reorganizing University Ex—
tension Service before the first
meeting of the University Senate
Monday afternoon.

Dr. Oswald told the faculty
governing body how reorganizing
extension activities is integral to
meeting the University's service
function.

Basic components of the re-
organization include:

Establishing a

UK Senate

University-

wide office to relate all the var-
iOus extension programs here. _
Forming an office in each col-
lege to develop individual ex-
tension programs drawing on re-
search and other resources avail-
ablethere. ».
Designating geographic areas
across the state, correspondingto
governmental service areas al-
ready set up, and placing an of-
fice in each area to coordinate
all extension work done there.
Kentucky has been divided

Approves

Maine Chance Buy

The University Senate Monday gave unanimous support to Dr.
john Oswald, University president, and the Board of Trustees
in the purchase of Maine Chance farm.

A resolution, presentai to the full senate by the Senate Council,

expressed its

”confidence in the judgment and integrity of the

Both parties had previously given their support to the purchase
of the farm by the UK Research Foundation during the summer.
The purchase has been surrounded by controversy since the

outset.

”The foresight of these responsible officials and the Board of
Directors of the University of Kentucky Research Foundation in
acquiring Maine Chance Farm as a facility for the continued
growth of the University is wholeheartedly commended," the

resolut ion read.

PIKE J UR Y SA YS
COMMUNIST PLOT

The Associated Press
PIKEVILLE, Ky. —The Pike County Grand jury indicted a Louis-
ville couple and three antipoverty workers Monday on charges of
advocating or teaching sedition in violation of state law.

The jury also charged in its
final report that a ”well organ—
ized and well financed effort is
being made to promote and
spread the communistic theory

. to overthrow the govern-
ment of Pike County."

Named in the indictments
were Carl and Ann Braden of
Louisville; Alan and Margaret
McSurely and Joseph Mulloy.
The McSurelys and Mulloy were
arrested recently after raids on
their homes produced what the
commonwealth called subver‘
sive literature."

The three were released on
bond and a panel of three fed-

eral judges is considering their
argument that the state sedition
law is unconstitutional.

The Pike jury said it has
studied the sedition law and as a
result "of our investigation, We
have sufficient and competent
evidence to support an indict-
ment requiringthat those indicted
stand trial for the crime of ad-
vocating or teaching sedition in
violation of the Kentucky state
statute."

Thejury said that Communist
organizers have been sent to Pike
County by “racial organizations

into 14 areas, 12 of which will
have community colleges in them;
for each one there will be a co-
ordinating extension officer.

State More Urbanized

Behind the expansion of the
reorganization of UK's extension
program is, according to Dr. Os-
wald, the realization that the
state is becoming more urban-
ized, and that increasingly com-
munity needs will go beyond
the realm of agriculture.

Therefore, the University is
attempting to draw on all its re-
sources to extend its service com-
mitment to the people of the
state.

At the same time, coordina-
tion for UK's extension efforts
would be removed from the Col-
lege of Agriculture to an office
which would transcend areas
within the institution doing ex-
tension work.

The president identified ex-
istence of a community college in
each area” as the really unique
part of the program. ”The com-
munity college could very pos-
sibly be a focus for the area,"
he noted.

Not only could collegefaculty
assist in particular projects but
reciprocally extension workers
might be housed at the college,
and have close access to an aca—
demic community through lim-
ited teaching.

Interchange Of People
The effect, Dr. Oswald said,

would be a more pervasive in-
terchange of University resource
people with citizens of the area.

The extension proposal gained
approval at the june 2 meeting
of the Board of Trustees but will

‘Not Hurting K ids,’ Claims
Man Who Sparked Strike

By NEIL CILBRIDE
The Anoclated Preu
WASHINGTON—”We're not hurting the kids," says the presi-
dent of the union that sparked the teachers' revolt affecting nearly
2 million school children around the nation.

Charles Cogen of the AFL-
CIO American Federation of
Teachers, said the 75,000 teach-
ers striking in New York, Mich-
igan, Florida and elsewhere are
fightng as much for the children
as for themselves.

”The strike doesn't last for—
ever," Mr. Cogen said in an
interview Monday, ”but condi—
tions in the schools do last for—
ever unless you fight to change
them." Now, he says, schools
are little more than ”custodial

The 64—year-old Mr. Cogen,
who stands just 5-feet-2 and can

Argued Against March

At a white rally in Humboldt
Park on the south side, Theo-
dore E. Kolodzyk, leader of
“white power for closed hous-
ing," argued against a Monday
night march.

“How are you going to march
without organization? Even the
Niggers are organized."

But whites disregarded his
plea.

When Ald. Richard Nowa-
kowski asked the south siders
to submit petitions against open
housing in lieu of a march, he
was drowned out with boos, boots
and the chant, ”BE-AYE, EE-
AYE, EE-AYE OH, Father Crop—
pi's gotta go."

Syd Finley of Chicago, direc-
tor of the NAACP's seven—state
region 3, told the north siders
he was glad the south siders
planned to march to the north
side.

”I hope none of the rats bite
them. We're going to kill them
(counter-demonstrators) with
kindness," Mr. Finley said;

Father Croppi appealed tothe
north siders to maintain order
during the march.

‘1We want to show we're more
civilized than they (the south
siders) are," he said.

Monday's white march was
the second in two days. Sunday
night whites attempted to march
to the north side but were re- ‘
pulsed by policemen firing tear
gas shells.

South’s Shifting,
Breathitt Says

ASHVILLE, N. C. (AP) —
Kentucky Cov. Edward T.
Breathitt said Monday the South
is shifting its attention away
from racial problems.

He also said counties must
work together on the problem

of poverty if a solution is to
befound.
Mr. Breathitt, chairman of

the Southern Covernors' Con-
ference now meeting in Ashe—
ville, was interviewed by a panel
of newsmen on University of
North Carolina educational tele-
vision.

“We're not using up all our
energies on the racial problem
in the South anymore." he said.
"We have shifted our attention
to areas of economic develop-
ment and higher education."

Mr. Breathitt, who also is
chairman of the President'sCom-
mission on Rural Poverty, ex-
plained that poverty is of im-
mediate concern east of the Mis-
sissippi River. The problem is
not one of poverty among farm-
ers, he continued but of the
greater number of rural dwellers
who do not live on farms.

Asked how better interstate
relations might be accomplished
Mr. Breathitt said:

”The states aretheincubators
of ideas. By governors learning
from other governors, problems
such as highway safety, crime
prevention and the use of fed-
eral troops on a sharing basis
can be more quickly solved."

By w. a. McNEW
Professor Douglas Bush's
books provide a happy con-
trast to those in most cur-
rent critical series. Hather than
rely mainly on academic hacks
for plot summaries and cata-

logues of criticism so badly
written that they can be
stomached only a few hours
before an examination, Mac—
millan, for their Masters of
\Vorld Literature Series, has

turned to critics distinguished
by both taste and prose.

If these two critical biogv
raphies by Professor Bush can
be accepted as tokens of the
rest, Macmillan's unorthodox
policy has succeeded. Here are
both aid and enjoyment for
anyone wanting background or
brief critical analyses of the
works of either Keats or Milton.

‘Paradise Lost' Best of Either

Professor Bush considers
Keats the greater for what he
might have been, while Milton
appears one of the greatest of
all poets. able to transcend
earthly disappointment through
abiding faith and art. The short
sketch of "Paradise Lost" is
the finest thing in either book.

Bush's views of both poets,
though conventional, are not
undisputed and in both books
he does provide brief histories
of criticism and authoritative
bibliographies for those who
would look further.

Supplementary for Poetry

Neither book is material for
midnight crammers; rather both
are the sort to remain in one's
library, for both are best read
with the poetry of their subjects
available.

These volumes and the rest
of the series (if ever they all

Masefield’s Poems

Show Fine Perception

1N GLAD THANKSGIVING —John
Masefleld. Macmillan, 1967, 83.96.

John Masefield, long Britain's
Poet Laureate, died last year at
the age of 89. His contribution
to English .Iiterature is fittingly
climaxed by his most recent col—
lection of poems, ”in Glad
Thanksgiving."

Maesfield's sensibility was
not tortured (ortorturous)enough
to claim the admiration of con—
temporary poetasters. The excel-
lence of his craft must remain
for those of us who think that
traditional forms and values re-
tain a certain validity in a form-
Iess age.

Native Beauty Of England

These poems are English to
the core. Masefield writes feel—
ingiy of England's native‘ beauty
and historic strength. Sharpened
by the imminence of death, his
perception mourns the passing
and exults the permanence of
natural beauty and human effort.

Evoking the image of an Eng-

Iish bill, be chants: ”O miracle
of earthly joy/Since before life
began/Who comforted a broken
boy/And staunched a broken
man."

The poet also pays tribute to
his English forbears in civiliza—
tion—English farmers and work
ers: ”Such might was in them
they were hardly men/Those pre-
histories peopling England then. "

Dying Poet's Affirmation

Three narrative poems, vivid
recreations of England's past,
remind us that Masefield never
lost that rare gift of telling a
story well.

This slim volume of poems
is a dying poet's affirmation of
his love for life. It will be read
and valued as the final state-
ment of a great poetic craftsman.
John Masefield’s poetry will en—
dure; ”Much as in fieldsa strange
bright flower or two/Shows later
passers where a garden grew."
Dennis A. Williams is a graduate

student specialising in English Bis-
tory.

Weak IFC Needs Reform

The Interfraternity Council has

never been very strong at the Uni:

versity. It has never done much for
the individual fraternities, the Uni-
versity community, or Lexington.
Few people would deny this, even
within the council itself, for the
problem seems to lie in the organi-
zation’s structure. In short, its lead-
ers are not responsive to the fra-
ternities they serve.

Last year IFC got involved in a
touchy area, ‘passing a law which
forbade serving drinks to rushees
in the houses. When council mem—
bers took the law backto the houses,
the fraternities revolted, and the
law was rescinded. Later, however,
it was repassed. Enforcement re-
mained almost impossible, and dis-
ciplinary terms undefined. The
point was made: IFC really wasn't
responsive to the needs and wants
of individual fraternities.

IF C representatives include
elected delegates and house officers.
But the importance and rank given
the position difiers greatly among
fraternities. Some houses send their
strongest men, while others send
uninterested, weak representatives.

Last spring something was done
to alleviate the problem. A new
constitution was written, and the
voting procedure of the council
was changed. Instead of one vote
going to each fraternity delegate,
two votes were given each house.

The first went to the delegate, but
the second was reserved for the pres-
ident of the individual fraternity,
thus making it essential that he at—
tend meetings. The fraternities
gained better representation.

But as we see it the problem
still is not completely solved. There
are bound to be times when the
president cannot attend. The dele-
gate must be able to represent the
house. He must be one of the
ablist men the house has to offer.
But more important, the offices Of
the council, strong by constitution
and tradition, should be elected by
the male Creek community at large.
As it is now, IFC chooses its own
officers. They seldom run on real
issues, but rather on past accom—
plishments, or more often, on per-
sonality. If the election were taken
out of the council, where thecan-
didates are not well known, some
of the problem could be cured.

The time is ripe to build a new
and strong IFC. Thenew consti-
tution is a beginning, and election
of new representatives will take
place this semester for some of the
houses. The student rights code has
created the right atmosphere.

If IF C can become the real co-
ordinating body of the fraternities,
then it will be able to serve not
only the Greeks, but also the aca-
demic community in which it

dwells.

New Student Handbook Looms
High With ‘Selective’ Truth

The anonymous author of this
year's Student Handbook has man-
aged a clean little publication
which, if taken literally, may be
as misleading to new students as
the lack of a handbook would be
confusing. In eighty-eight sanguine
pages, the Handbook establishes
all the] good points of the univer—
sity, while mentioning none, and
deals with all the commendable
services of the administration while
forgetting that quite often these
services fail to operate satisfactor-
ily. From President Oswald'sgreet—
ings to the text of the Alma Mater
which adorns the back page, the
uninitiated reader is subtly, if unin-
tentionally, misled about the char-
acter of life at Kentucky.

ful but that it is selectively tmth-
ful. The welcomes by President
Oswald and Student Covernrnent
President Steve Cook emphasize
that the University is moving for-
ward ”To a position of promi—
nence as a major university." But
the implication is ignored; that
if the university is moving to a
position as a major university, it
has not yet reached that status.
And, if it has not yet reached the
goal then its students will suffer
the consequences of the univer-
sity’s status in education circles.

Similarly, there is much space
given over to information concern-
ing the Dean of Students Office.
But the real role of this office is
never clearly defined and the in-

Student
Handbook

University of Kentucky

1967-1968

 

Any attempt to read the Hand-
book straight through is hampered
by the discussion of the Univer-
sity’s “History and Traditions.”
Among these are the origin of the
term “Wildcats" for the athletic
teams; the Chi Omega chimes; and
the University colors (“blue like
Dick Stoll’s necktie") Also men-

.tioned is the wildcat painting

which hangs in the Student Cen-
ter; the fact that the painting de—
picts what may well be the world’s
most malformed wildcat is strange-

ly omitted.

Following the History lesson
is a discussion of Academics at the
University. This discussion leaves
the reader with an implied feeling of
despair: The entire scopeof the
Honors Program is discussed in
eleven lines While over a page is
devoted to the heading “Academic
Probation, Failure, Reinstate-
ment."

But the real problem with the
handbook is not that it is untruth-

--—‘u~o~-uw~~.~~ -.-‘,.».".‘.-. _"‘

vitation to make use of whatever
services the office may offer is
couched in terms of debatable
warmth. Neither is there any in-
dication that more often than not
a student may have to make an
appointment to see a person in
authority in Student Affairs.

But the pamphlet is cleanly
printed and attractive. There is
no real aim at deception, but the
Student Handbook falls victim to
its own aims. The real aim is not
to give an accurate depiction of
life at the University of Kentucky
but to present it as it should be
if its programs and institutions
functioned as they should. In his
opening President Oswald states
“The realization of the resources
and the opportunities on this cam—
pus reside in you and you alone."
If that is true, then the first step
is an accurate picture of those
resources and opportunities through
an accurate as well as factual Stu-I
dent Handbook. .

‘Feel Free To Talk,’
Bitch-In Leader Says

The University's second Bitch-In will be held at noon Wednes-
day on the Student Center patio. Scheduled for discussion for
the open fortun is “Social Change and the Negro at UK.‘

Bill Turner, chairman of the
Campus Committee for Human
Rights, sponsor of the Bitch-In,
said prominent leaders from
Lexington have been invited.
Turner also said clergy from
the Lexington area have been
asked to attend.

President of the University,
Dr. John Oswald, had indicated
he would attend, said Turner,
but a prior commitment has
forced his cancelation.

“We've invited Butch Beard,
Westley Unseld and jim Mc-
Daniels to the Bitch-In," said
Turner, “We want to ask them
why they didn't come to UK to
play basketball.” The three are
Negroes.

We want anybody to feel
free to walk up to talk, noted
Turner.

“Things like this should be
unnecessary," said Turner em-
phasizing the size of UK and
the amount of discussion that
he said should go on. "We
want everybody to help us (the
CCHR) to go out of business.”

Turner said all fraternity and
sorority presidents had been in-
vited. In discussing the prob-
lem of integration among UK‘s
Creek organizations, Turner
added that “the Negro is not
interested in seeking integra-
ntion of the
