By WAYNE SMITH

John Jacob Niles, performer, collector, and composer
ef American folk music, gave a highly interesting and
entertaining program Monday afternoon to begin the
SUB Fine Arts Festival.
The personable Dr. Niles presented a program of both
lecture and song to illustrate the beauty and value of
folk music. His comments preceding each ballad or folksong gave the many listeners some insight into the background r.d history of the music.
Ir. Niles possesses a unique voice for a performing
week-lon-

g

artist. The male alto voice in which he sings Ms folk
music Is at first distracting, but then its quality gives
the music a delightful variety of sounds.
Truly a master performer. Dr. Niles punctuated his
lecture with both humor and personal experiences.
His comment that there is "too bloomin" much lecturing in the classroom was well accepted by the primarily
student audience. He also Jokingly advocated that professors should compose a few sonnets to teach the class
lesson.
Dr. Niles truly brought out the serious parts of the

folk music as well as the more frequent .humorous portions.
After the close of the concert, the applause was so
great that pr. Niles had to return to the platform and
play an encore.
Included" in the performance were such familiar folk
songs and ballads as "Go 'Way From My Window," "I'm
Coin' Away," and "The Farmer's Cursed Wife."
Considered one of the country's foremost authorities
on American folk music, Dr. Niles, through his performances all over the rountry, has done a great deal to
promote folk music and its appreciation.

* Hail The Bookworm
There arc all sorts of snobs in our
society, but perhaps tlic person who
lias l)ccn censured most for snobbery has been the
egghead
or bookworm, the intellectual who
devotes his time to academic pursuits without regard for other superfluous activities.
Although there are a few who
probably deserve the title of "intellectual snobs," a sweeping condemnation of all those interested in improving their intellect has been totally
undeserved. This kind of criticism has
not been wholly restricted to those
outside of the University, but has
been a continuing practice of many
members within the UK community
itself, unfortunate though it be.
The same disregard might be
given to those women students who
will be honored tonight at the annual "Stars in the Night" program.
The attendance and applause which
will be presented to these honor students will not surpass those given to
star atjiletes or the winner of a campus queen contest. The recognition
for the girls will be far less than
what is deserved.

We hail these coeds who have excelled in a field where it is most difficult to excel. They have; shunned
mental laziness and applied themselves to seek educational superiority,
reflective of the true purposes of the
University of Kentucky.
The complacent psychology of the
ubiquitous "C" student, the one who
is capable of improvement but revels
in the almighty
has been
too prevalent on the nation's campuses; this sort of thinking is monstrously swallowing the recent clamor
for educational excellence.
To those who blithely pass off the
recognition of academic achievement
with labels of "egghead" and "bookworm," the "Stars in the Night" program will probably not interest you.
The proceedings will be too dull and
will lack the luster of a basketball
game or a queen contest. They will
seem to be rife with snobbery and
erudition. They will be galling because there is no excitement to rouse
you.
And you know something?
If you think this, you're pretty
much of an egghead yourself.

The Readers' Foru
Study More, Frats
To The Editor:
I happened to read Mr. Rex
Bailey's right funny takeoff on my
letter to the editor last week (Readers' Forum, March 24) on "Frat Fantasia."

That was a good letter. It had
something to say. I liked it very much.
I do have a brilliant plan for increasing scholarship in fraternities.
Fraternity boys should study more.
But I won't present that to IFC because the members already know that
and would shun me for making such
a sensible proposal.
I still think fraternities exist for
social life, drinking, fun, and fantasia.
Should they be restricted of doing this
just because the University is raising
its standards? Of course not. I'll bet
you enjoy the social life, drinking,
fun, and fantasia.
No, I am not a frat rat. I can do
this stuff on my own without the
dean of men hearing about it. He's
too busy with you boys.
I won't sign my name, either.
Mine's worse than a dog's.

Quiet Concern
To The Editor:
I have just written a letter of protest to the Board of Trustees of
Vanderbilt University regarding its
questionable action in dismissing Mr.
James Lawson, a student. Mr. Law-soa Methodist minister, was acting
in accordance with the dictates of

time and to forward reform through
nonviolence. One hundred twenty-sifaculty members, including 12 department heads, at Vanderbilt have also
protested the action of the Board of
Trustees as a mistake and comprox

mise.

What is perhaps more distressing
is the kind of quiet concern that "permeates the University of Kentucky
community. When a university acts
in a way that reflects social pressures
rather than academic integrity, have
we nothing to say? When we fail to
distinguish morally and legally between perpetrators of actual violence
and citizens who peacefully and lawfully assert their rights, how long can
any of us remain free? When people
are arrested on narrow legal grounds
while others who commit acts of violence against them are suffered to act
freely, who; can open a lxok tonight
or deliver a lecture in the morning?
When human dignity and rights are
denied another, a part of ourselves
is torn away.
I support the right of individuals
to focus attention on unjust denials
of their rights as American citizens
and as human beings through peaceful and lawful means, and I look up
to the University and provide constructive leadership in the midst of
the crises and tensions of our times.

Who's More Mature?
(The opinions expressed herein are

The word is out and running rampant. Next year all male specimens in
this institution who fall into the categorical position of a sophomore will live
in the dorms.
It is hack to the dorms for all of
those whom the upper crust fondly call
"wise fools." That is, all hut those who
have hecoine activated nieinhers of

fraternities.
These endearing souls may live in
the residence of their choice. Those
other hearties who daie to violate the
social traditions ami remain aloof from
the spirit of "togetherness" must adhere to the stated policy.
In the words ol the hctting man
and the geometry teacher, 'There are
angles to look at in this situation."
First it must he taken into consideration that this ruling is in direct conformity with an existing University
policy concerning male student housing.
In the past, due to inavailahility of
space, preference for rooms was granted
to the incoming freshmen. Now, with
the construction of a new dorm which
will have an additional 500 rooms, this
situation will supposedly he alleviated.
One wonders if the good old three-ma- n
rooms in Bradley Hall will
two-ma- n
rooms as they were supposed
to he originally. Secondly, one must also
rememher that fraternal residences are
a legitimate part of the University
housing.
The main point is that these sophomores electing to live in a fraternity
house are getting to live where they
choose. They are getting what thev paid
for.
The other poor "wise fools" are compelled to live in a designated 'place.
This is like putting your money in a
d
handit and hoping for the
hest. Theoretically, the purpose of this
is that a closer disciplinary supervision
might he instigated over the student.
In the course of discussion, a
hrother of a red-ho- t
fraternity
will undouhtedly present the following
argument. "Man, there is more discipline
at the house. These CD.I.'s living out in
town can stack heer cans all over the
place and generally have all kinds of
