Assembly Building Friday.
Taking up the Red China problem, the group first heard Mr.
J. B. Phillips, secretary of the
M ission of Chana. Mr. Phillips
advanced the belief that Red
China cannot be excluded from
the UN on the grounds that the
Peking government does not follow the principles of the UN
charter. "Red China cannot be
held to principles of an organization to which it does not belong," he said.
Phillips added that the United
States government is opposed to
Red China's admission because of
the pressure of public opinion
based on the information media's
stand on the issue.
Mr. P.

Y.

Tsao, counsellor to

the China mission, said that the
issue is not whether there is a
Communist regime, but whether
that regime represents the people
of China simply because it is in

control.

He called Mao Tze- Tung's regime "oppressive at
home and aggressive abroad."
Tsao added that Formosa is a
part of a whole China, not one
of two Chinese nations and that
upon the UN's recognition of Red
China, the Nationalists would
walk out of the UN. He also
questioned Red China as a
"peace-lover- "
as made necessary
for UN membership by its charter.
Mr. S. K. Singh of India's
mission said, "it is in the interest of the free world to have
Red China in the United Nations" since 20 percent of the
world's populations is on the
mainland. He noted that governments do not use morality as a
basis for conducting international
affairs but they use practical
politics.

Kentucky Authority for Educational TV (KATE), which will
consist of 11 stations, should be

The network, which was originally planned to be finished sometime this year, won't begin construction until 1965 or 1966, he

'Torty counties in this state

"they are now getting signals

Dr. Romano, speaking for the

He said the committee has

Mr. Hallock discussed some of

the past and near present happen-

ings in television course offerings
at UK.
Mr. Hallock opened the luncheon talk by reading a portion of
University President John Oswald's statement in "Challenge
of A Second Century." He read
that the challenge to the University was "developing the necessary steps to implement a program of educational television
which can provide its unique
type of support of the academic
program in the next decade."
In 1959 the University, in conjunction with VLEX Television
in Lexington presented its first
TV course and has since offered
television courses in anthropology, education, mathematics, and
political science, Mr. Hallock
said.
In addition to these courses,
the University has given both
residence and extended program
credit for programs such as Continental Classroom.
Mr. Hallock also pointed out
the expense in training personnel
for television classroom work.
He believes that the closed
circuit TV system must also be
developed for the University.
"UK cannot depend on utilization
of the state network," he said,
and he added, "UK needs its own
facilities to insure continuing programming to meet its needs."

Cries of "What will I wear?"
echoing through dormitory halls
are as much a part of campus
life as textbooks and ivy walls.
This semester, whether the occasion is a coke date or a sorority
rush party, the answer can be
the same: a soft, fluffy knit!
The brushed look is one of the
biggest items to hit the campus
since dirty white sneakers, and
it's a lot prettier. The widespread
popularity of the new look is
partially due to their downy, feminine look, and partially to the
fact that they're lightweight and

For that sorority rush party,

Since few coeds have the time

they wash quickly and easily,
and dry in short order. And best
of all, they retain their soft
washing after washing.
These new soft knits are currently appearing in sweaters, jackets, and sheaths. Versatile as the

anywhere, does anything, and is
always on good behavior.

* The Right To Criticize

The following is a copy of an
editorial which appeared in the
Louisville Courier-JournSunday.
University of Kentucky President John Oswald is finding that,
next to money, academic standards,
overcrowding and alumni, control
of the campus newspaper is one of
the most tedious problems a college president faces. The University's Kentucky Kernel, for example,
has lately attracted widespread
wrath for its refusal to support
Wildcat Coach
wholeheartedly
Charlie Bradshaw and his sometime
football team. And because of this
heresy, fans, businessmen and local
newspapers are loudly demanding
that the Kernel's editors be censored into line.
Unlike the school's athletic
teams, the Kernel has become something of a standard of excellence
in the South. For three straight
it was adjudged the
years, 1960-6best campus newspaper in the
South, and awards, cash grants and
scholarships were showered upon
staff members. It was also (as a
good campus newspaper probably
should be) usually the center of
controversy, on and off campus,
as when, in 1963, it demanded to
know why the university was not
recruiting Negro athletes.
That was pretty racy fare for
local appetites and last year the
Kernel was put under faculty control that not only drove away some
of the better staff members but
turned the Kernel into a rather dull
affair, so dull, in fact, that the protests reached the President's office.
This year President Oswald separated the Kernel from the School
of Journalism and placed it under
a board composed of students,
faculty and alumni, and once more
the Kernel is setting standards for
liveliness.
al

3,

Bonanza!

But, as is so often thecase with
youth, it is not always the soul of
diplomatic judgment. When, after
defeating Ole Miss, Coach Bradshaw asked his players if victory
had been worth the price, a Kernel
editorial replied, in effect, "Come
to think of it no. It wasn't worth
the price to the players or to the
school." The editors have since
gone on to question the role of
professional athletics in an academic institution. This has not sat
well with downtown businesses
that fatten off crowds that flock to
see winning teams, and last week a
Lexington editorialist took the
Kernel to task for failing to support
"the institution which supports it."
"It is expected of college newspapers to reflect the thinking of
students, and we believe that most
students will agree that athletic
teams need and deserve the support
of their newspapers win, lose or
draw," said the indignant editorial.
"The Kernel. . .is not engaged in
competition. . .it is an institutional
publication and should support the
institution which supports it."
The Kinti chy Kunfl
This is, to put it mildly, an
unusual view of the role of a newspaper. It is also, we fear, a slightly
blurred view. The Kernel, we might

Reader Questions Criticism Of UK Library

Re: the Kernel's recent criticism
of the University Library, I have
a few questions.
1.
Is the Kernel aware that
many research libraries our own
among them having valuable
"gift" collections are often required
by the terms of the bequest to keep
such collections intact? The result,
naturally, is duplication, the shelving of trivial items beside important
ones, and extra expense in housing
the books. One has to weigh those
disadvantages
against the advantages of having the rare and important items. Today, fortunately,
donors are more enlightened, and
attach fewer strings to their gifts.
2. Is the Kernel aware of any
regulations -- in this and other University libraries regarding the
housing and circulation of imprinted theses and dissertations? Such
works remain the property of the
authors, whose rights are accordingly protected.
3.
Is the Kernel aware that
one of the problems facing librarians today is that of using the most
accessible space for the most active
part of the entire collection? The
decision to shelve this item under
everyone's nose and to warehouse
that is the product of the study of

circulation statistics plus an educated guess. This laudable and
necessary practice inevitably separates related items, such as microfilms of relatively recent editions
of newspapers from earlier ones.
4.
Is the Kernel aware that
another problem is that of keeping down personnel costs so that
more money can be spent on books?
Proposals that would in effect
double the staff of this or that part
of the library have to be scrutinized
carefully.

5.
Is the Kernel prepared to
make a judgement about
How many people 70
years ago foresaw how useful a comcataplete collection of
logs would be for social historians?
Not
everybody's guess is an
educated one.
Through many years of association I have come to admire the
staff of the University library for
their expert knowledge, their
efforts to make the library a
more distinguished one, and for the
eagerness with which they greet any
proposals to improve the library's
service to its users.
I wish the Kernel editors would
visit the library and discuss these
"over-collecting-

mail-ord-

suc-cesf-

ul

questions with the staff. This, and
this alone, would lay the groundwork for truly responsible criticism.

To tfie Editor of the Kernel:

Re: your editorial of Oct. 29 on
student housing, be advised that tentative plans have been completed for
a dormitory complex to be built on
the UK campus. My employer is one
of the participating architects on the
project. The complex will consist of
eight low-ris- e
dorms, two 21 story
tower dormitories complementing a
central facility a combination dining
hall and student union building. The
complex will house a total of 2,G(K)
(twenty-si- x
hundred) students. The
complete; story and details will be released at the appropriate time.
I didn't want the Kernel to think
its editorial precipitated the construction of $15 million worth of dormitories. You may now turn
atten-

your
tion to more important matters-harass- ing
our fine football coach or enlightening the student lody on
"Creek" inscriptions.
JOE CIHSON
Senior, Mechanical Engineering
The Kernel is very much aware
the dormitory complex mentioned is

being "planned," and lias been in this
"planning" stage for nearly three years.

THE EDITOR

To the

Editor of the Kernel:
That was certainly a fine

edi-

torial in the Lexington Herald concerning the Kentucky Kernel. What
the Herald said needed to be said
and I'm glad you saw fit to reprint the editorial in Thursday's
paper.
RORERT E. MILWARD

To the editor

of the Kernel:
Whether on the athletic field,
the classroom, or the business
world, sacrifices made in order to
succeed are always worth ft. When
the time comes that individuals
are not willing to pay the price
for success our country, its government, and the free enterprise system will be doomed to failure.
The price of success is always
tough. After all, success is failure
turned inside out. It takes little
effort to fail, but a great deal of
effort to succeed."
