Recreation: A
By JANIE GEISER
Kernel Staff Writer

Are you able to lead other
people, to work with and assist them in activities? Woidd
you like to turn your hobby
into a major and ultimately
into a
profession?
About 20 University students
are doing just that with a
major in recreation.
The recreation major encourages the use of leisure time for
physical, mental, emotional, and
spiritual growth in society. His
purpose is simply to help people
make better use of their leisure
time.
Recreation is a growing profession with about 20,000 persons
In private and public recreation

John rfeiffer, a senior English
major from Louisville, is vice
president of the IK chapter of
Sigma Delta Chi, professional
journalism society, Lances, Keys,
Phi Sigma Iota, romance language honorary, and the
Council publicity committee.
He has held the positions of
campus editor and arts editor on
the Kernel and is president of
Lamp and Cross. He is a member
of Delta Tau Delta fraternity and
was chosen to participate in the
Houston B. Smith Seminar this
spring.

A communique from the military governor of Saigon warned
all civil servants and ministry
employees that martial law punishment will be applied to those
who remain absent from their

Saigon was returning to normal.
Hours of curfew established from
7 p.m. to 5 a.m., were eased to
the period between midnight and
5 a.m.
Former defense minister Tran
Trung Dung, a relative of President Ngo Dinh Diem, reported
the government had given him
permission to bury Diem and the
latter's brother, Nhu, in a double
funeral. Tran said, however, the
government set no date.
The new military rulers said
over the weekend, Diem and Nhu
had committed suicide in captivity of rebel troops. But more
credence was given to unofficial
accounts that said Diem was
shot and Nhu stabbed to death
by the rebels.

church. Catholic procedure forbids burial in consecrated ground
for persons who have committed
suicide.
Dung said, however, that a
Roman Catholic priest had administered the last rites of the
church over the bodies of the
two brothers Sunday morning at
St. Paul's Hospital.
In Washington, the State Department announced it had turned down a request from Nhu's
wife in Los Angeles that the
her
United States guarantee
safety to return to Viet Nam for
her husband's funeral. The State
Department said her safe conduct to Saigon is a matter for
the Vietnamese government. The
Washington announcement said,
however, that the United States
would be willing to fly her three
children in Viet Nam to Los
Angeles. Mrs. Nhu had made the
latter alternative to her first request for a guarantee of safety.
She said she had planned to take
her children to Rome from Los
Angeles.

Over 50 colleges and universities offer a major in recreation,
but UK is the only college which
offers a topical recreation major.

The University curriculum
concentrates
recreation
upon
courses in sociology, recreation,
and the humanities, with 60
hours of electives in the junior
and senior years.
Recreation majors may choose
from eight areas of study in
recreation:
social, sports, arts,
linguistics, service, dance, music,
or nature. From any of these
areas, the recreation major may
go into the many different fields
of work mentioned above.
Suggested courses for a recreation major includes a series of
recreation core courses, such as
an introduction to recreation, the

history and principles of recreaof
tion, programs,
principles
group development, leadership in
and community groups,
campus
and field work in camping, public, or agency work.
Skill and maintenance courses

Suggested courses are those in

general education; English composition and literature; speech;
psychology; sociology, general,

growth and development.
A good curriculum
of study
will include general education,
recreation skills, recreation theory and supervised field experience. The field work is not required but acts as a good reference for jobs after graduation.
The recreation courses are designed to increase one's ability to

In the future world of dentistry, early detection and treatment

from television instruction
they do from classroom lectures.

Research Done At University
On Soil Strength, Elasticity
Last October at the University, a small but deliberate
step was made to establish
research on soil strength and
elasticity. It cut a sharp

enough
crowded field of American
scientific investigation to attract the attention of a federal supporting agency.

The principal investigator. Dr.
Bobby Ott Hardin, associate professor of civil engineering set up
shop on an $838 faculty research
grant, then detailed to the National Science Foundation a research proposal which is unique
In its plot for end results.
The NSF has just provided a
$21,700 grant, administered by the
Kentucky Research Foundation,
for a two-yesupport of the
study. In addition, the University
has allocated $4,000 for purchase
of part of the needed laboratory

apparatus.

Soils have degrees of elasticity

which will determine how much
they will deform or change when
a load is applied. They also
possess degrees of strength which
will determine how much load
can be applied before they shear
or break off. A knowledge of
these elasticity and resistance
characteristics, particularly their
relationship to each other, would
be of great benefit to a builder.
Through such knowledge of the
supporting soil, he could avoid
drastic errors in foundation work.
The finished structure would be
less opt to crack or shift position because of the proper selection and use of foundation materials.
This type of
study
also would be valuable in the
planning for construction bases
for large machines and the building of ground structures for protection against nuclear blasts.
Properties of elasticity of soil
or fine grain materials and shearing resistance have been studied
separately, but Dr. Hardin's investigation is markedly new in

tium. Then, with the research
translated into human terms,
there may be increased hope for
saving the natural teeth of large

numbers of Americans.
Dr. Michael T. Romano, a
pioneer in the use of television
as a dental teaching tool, has established an educational TV system in the dental college. He also
is evaluating
dental materials
used in filling cavaties.
Dr. Sheldon Rovin, an oral
pathologist, is correlating the cell
smear and biopsy techniques as
means of diagnosing oral cancer.
Other research projects are being planned. Of particular significance is work dealing with the
improvement of full mouth dentures and with a broadened approach to the study of periodontal disease.
Dr. Alvin L. Morris, dean of the
college, encourages the stimulation of research. He has appointed Dr. Raymond C. Bard as director of research to coordinate
study activities.
Dr. Bard feels that the UK
research will, some day, yield valuable results. "We can not be
sure where research will lead,
when we will get there, and how
much the trip will cost,' 'he says.
"But of one thing I am sure:
without research, there will be no
progress."

* Where Have All
The 'Ladies' Gone?
There once was a time at the University, and not too many years ago
either, when women were women and
Were proud of it. They dressed like
yvomen and acted as ladies.
It was a rare day indeed when a
coed crossed the campus dressed in
slacks or bermudas.
However, this certainly isn't the
case this year. Some coeds no longer
seem to care about their personal
appearance in public except for that
Saturday night date.
and sweatshirts worn
n
out have become
attire for meals, going to the
library, and even attending classes.
And, horror of horrors, hair rollers;
coeds have decided that appearing in
public with their hair up is no longer
considered taboo.
Cut-off-

s

ivrong-sid- e

com-jno-

Ferhaps these changes in female
attire on a university campus are
indicative of the more casual attitude which students are taking. This
Jias been suggested by one member
of the UK staff. However, we feel
there is a basic difference between
downright sloppiness and casualness.
You can be neat and look like a
lady and still be "in style."
Perhaps the masculine appearance
In dress of many UK coeds (we're

referring to slacks) can be traced to
the fact that it is no longer a "man's
world" and women are considered
equal in every respect.
This is ridiculousl While women
may compete with men in every aspect of both an academic and a business world, it hardly seems necessary
to dress like them. In fact, the feminine quality and dress of a woman
is one of the things that enables her
to successfully compete in the world
today.
No one is interested in a woman
who dresses and acts like a man. If
they were they would have chosen a
man in the first place. They are interested in a woman who dresses and
acts like a lady but still has the
ability to do the job.
So, one may say we are Victorian
in our attitudes and that there is nothing "wrong" in wearing slacks, etc.
But the fact still remains: no coed
dressed in slacks or bermudas can
match the one who wears a DRESS,
either in poise or in dignity. No coed
dressed in slacks can possibly have
the admiration of her peers or her
superiors like the one who looks like
a lady and acts in a manner becoming

her

sex.

Campus Parable
"As for me, I said in my prosperity, T shall never be moved.' . . .
thou didnst hide thy face, I was
dismayed." (Psalms (30:-7- ) wrote the
I'salmist. There are numerous such
texts in the Bible which speak of
Cod as the hidden God and often also
of man's realization of this hidden-ness.

How strange it seems in consideration of this to hear how familiarly
jnany Christian people and ministers
speak of God. They make it sound as
it He is easily known and they know
Him so completely that they can pass
judgment upon everything with confidence that God would agree.
The philosophers through the ages
have produced both simple and intricate proofs for the existence of God
yhich often seem very plausible. The
opposing evidences, however, have
also been well presented and man is
left at best with some evidences that
He exists but no idea what He is like,
and at worst with only agnosticism.
This makes delightful bull sessions
but is not very enlightening for real
life views.
The Bible takes some note of such
arguments in favor of God, stating in
one place that God's power is evidenced in the creation, but it is more
characteristic of the Bible that God

and that "man in his wisdom knew not God." (1 Cor. 1:21)
Instead, the Bible is a witness to
acts which took place. For Christians,
the act centers in Christ. One person
wrote, "We beheld his glory, glory as
of the only Son from the Father."
(John 1:14) It was this kind of witness and the effect which Jesus had
upon these people that launched the
whole Christian movement.
is hidden

Today we are separated by centuries from these witnesses yet we still
have the accounts of his life. Any
person can examine these accounts
carefully to see what kind of man
Jesus was. The Christian claims that
he was a man who within his life
demonstrated what man could and
should be like and also gave us a concept of what God is like. The early
Christians could see this and many
people today believe they can also.
To truly see Jesus this way, a person must become acquainted with his
exlife. It cannot be a second-hanperience. The ancient question is still
valid for each of us, "What think ye
of Jesus?" And also we may ask, "I low
much do you really know about it?"

Support Needed
For Amendments
All is quiet along the constitutional
amendment front, with almost no one
showing any interest in the two proposed amendments to the state charter
on which Kentuckians will vote today.
This could be due to the fact that there
is very little effective opposition this
year to the two proposed changes. For
constitutional amendments are not the
kind of emotional issues that bring
people out of their seats cheering,
and unless there's a fight the great
majority of voters are apt to be pretty
apathetic.
It is possible, too, that Kentuckians
are beginning to feel slightly weary
of political issues of all stripes. Last
year's Senate race was a long one,
and long before it was decided the
guernatorial candidates were off and
running. Now, even before a Governor has been chosen, Presidential
candidates are limbering up for next
year's conventions. Furthermore,
voters are being asked not only to
select a Governor, but members of the
legislature and, in many communities,
local and county officers as well.
Yet this constitutional question is
one that deserves the interest and
support of Kentucky voters. There
are two proposals on the ballot. One
would remove from the Constitution
the present limit on state salaries. The
other would increase from two to five
the number of amendments on which
Kentuckians can vote at one time, and
would make it less difficult for them
to keep their Constitution up to date
in the future.
With the exception of a few far-oobjectors who see a plot from
Moscow in any attempt to modernize
the state charter, nearly everyone
agrees that the Constitution needs
some changes; they disagree only on
how the changes should be made. A
convention to revise the whole document would, of course, be the quickest and best way to do it. lint since
the voters turned down a convention
w hen it was last proposed three years
ago, this means of permitting several
changes to be made by the voters at
one time is probably the next bet
thing.
The first proposed amendment, to
remove the salary limit from the Constitution, would actually have little
or no effect on the operation of state

government or on the pay of public
officials. In recent years the Court
of Appeals, reacting to the pressure
for more realistic pay scales than
those allowed in 1S91, has for all practical purposes rendered the salary
limits stipulated in the charter meaningless. Yet future courts could conceivably overturn these rulings and
throw both state and local governments into chaos by forcing the state
to offer its governmental leaders salaries deemed sufficient 72 years ago.
The second proposal would make it
possible for Kentuckians to keep the
Constitution in tune with current
needs. Only five other states put any
limit whatever on the number of
Constitutional amendments that may
be proposed at one time, and none
of them have as strict limitations as
does Kentucky. The proposed amendment would not take from the people
the ultimate decision on whether or
not to change the Constitution. It
would merely let them change several
parts of it at one time, if they wished.
The same amendment would also
make it easier for the voters to call
a Constitutional convention if in the
future they decide they are not satisfied with the pace of change permitted under the proposed amendment
As it is now, two successive legislatures must act before the people can
eve nvote on a convention, though the
people do not have to approve the
changes such a convention might
make. The proposed change would let
a single session of the legislature put
the question before the people, but
would require any revision effected by
a convention to be submitted to the
people for approval.
The fact that such organizations as
the Chamber of Commerce, the Farm
Bureau and leaders in both parties
have endorsed the proposals, while
only token opposition has developed,
indicate their soundness. All that is
needed is a little popular interest.

Poland, Czechoslovakia, France,
