THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Thursday, March

Bob Dylan

Dylan's Tense Emotion
Carries Fourth Album
Dy JOE NICKELL
Kernel Special Writer
To those who feel that Bob
Dylan is the most important writer and singer of the new generation of folk artists, his new
album, "Another Side of Bob
Dylan," will come as a minor

disappointment.
Dylan has demonstrated great
talent in his three earlier albums:
On his first, "Bob Dylan," his
ability to comprehend and imitate many earlier styles of folk
music such as blues and Kentucky mountain music was clear.
Two of his early compositions
also appear.
On his second album, "The
Freewheelin' Bob Dylan," he
wrote most of the songs, includIn The Wind,"
ing "Blow-i"A Hard Rain's
Fall,"
and "Oxford Town." Many of
the songs are quite good.
He has assimilated many of
the earlier stales and added a lot
of himself to produce a style
which is his own and which has
won him a place as one of the
chief leaders in the modern foil
revival.
His third album, "The Times

even greater success. Here he
showed an unusual ability to
combine form in verse that is almost poetry, with form in music
for example, "Ballad of Hollis
Brown" and "North Country
Blues."
With marked development
and improvement shown progressively in the three earlier albums,

album will likewise be an improvement over the one previously. Dut the new album falls quite

* The Centennial Scholarship
Members of the Student Centennial Committee are now receiving
contributions for a Centennial

scholarship.
It is hoped that a permanent
scholarship of significant value can
be established but only a number
of contributions will make this
possible.
Seniors members of the Centennial class have been asked for
contributions and to pledge an
amount each following their graduation to help the scholarship grow.
Other students have also been
given the opportunity to contribute toward this scholarship.

While proceeds from such Centennial events as the Grand Ball
will be used these alone will do
little toward the establishment of
such a fund.

Only contributions by a sizeable number of students will make
this project possible.
We feel that every student, during the Centennial year, will want
to make some contribution regardless of its size to the scholarship
fund.
Here is one area in which students can assure the Centennial's
success and lasting effect.

Freeing The Press At B.U.
An uneasy status quo has been
reestablished at Boston University
following last week's flare up over
editorial freedom of the student-ru- n
weekly, The B. U. News. President Harold C. Case has promised
not to enforce his earlier dictum that
News editor-in-chiWerner Bund-schu- h
submit all copy to the faculty
adviser to be reviewed "for accuracy" before publication.
ef

The administration reversed itself because "there is a question
of freedom of the press involved,"
according to J. Wendell Yeo, administrative vice president in
charge of student affairs. In return,

If the B.U. students are not
satisfied with the status quo, neither is the administration. Case plans
n
to appoint a
committee
to reexamine all university policy
regarding student publications.
This study will give high priority
to the problems of responsibility
and freedom of the press. Like
any large and growing university,
B.U. both needs and desires the
critical feedback and dialogue that
a newspaper uniquely provides.
And despite the periodic administrative frowns that a lively free
student press draws, the continuing
dialogue that it inspires within a
university community is, as Yeo
himself said, "the essence of 'uniblue-ribbo-

Bundschuh has agreed to continue
working for the News "as long as
it is published in accordance with versity'."
the principles of freedom of the

press.'"
However, the legal set-u- p of The
B. U. News by definition precludes
freedom of the press. The News was
conceived of and founded as a university newspaper, a glorified administrative house organ operated
by students. The administration
both appoints and pays executives
of the paper. The controversial
Section J of the paper's constitution, which allows the administration to review copy "for accuracy," is merely a logical and understandable restriction by the employer on the employees. To strike
Section J from the paper's charter
would give the editor-in-chiewho
determines all editorial policy, tremendous power without the accomf,

panying accountability.
The B.U. Student Congress has
proposed that it, not the University,
be enpowered to publish the paper
and administer its budget. The
Congress contends that this arrangement would answer administration arguments about liability
while ensuring editorial freedom
for the paper.
Besides the dubious legality of
such a set-uthere is a more
p,

crucial difficulty. The suggestion
would, in effect, transfer control
of the paper from one
power center to another. It
is naive to suppose that student
politicians with power of the purse

administration controls the paper's
financial or editorial operations.
This issue has erupted over and
over again on campuses where students operate what is essentially an
administration press.
The most attractive, and perhaps the only fair, solution is an
independent,
student press associated with but not controlled by
B. U., whose editorial policies
would be decided democratically
by its members. The question is,
can B.U. set up and support such
a paper?

The committee that Case intends to form provides an opportunity to find out. Such a committee should include not only B.U.
administration and faculty members, but also student leaders and
respected members of the journalistic and business communities.
There should be an exhaustive insentivestigation of student-facult- y
ment in favor of such a publication;
of the expense and specific steps
involved in setting it up; of the
circulation and advertising necessary to make it viable; and of the
availability of willing and competent staffers. It would be surprising
if a university of 12,000 undergraduates could not supply the resources, financial and human, for
such an enterprise.

The Founder's Day program was

the Founder's Day program was a
day of commemoration and reflection on the achievements of the
University of Kentucky in its first

of the first century are the many
distinguished alumni who have
brought credit to the University of
Kentucky through their success and
accomplishments. Instead, the
Founder's Day Program developed
into a gathering to hear the President.

planning and work by both
departments and individuals that
was to make this a program
worthy of a Centennial celebration was so much labor lost, because a major portion of that

program failed to materialize. Deleted portions of the program included the special music, completion of the Centennial Awards,
and invited speakers who were
not recognized.
The Music Department had gone

to great lengths to prepare an appropriate music program. The
Choristers were not oven allowed
to sing the Alma Mater, which is
included in the smallest university gatherings. The original guests
of honor, distinguished alumni,
many of whom had traveled long distances to attend this supposed
"Honors Day," turned out to be
only an audience to the confusion
and broad generalizations of the
revamped Johnson idealism.
The student body and the administration owe each of the distinguished alumni an apology.
If the culmination of the University of Kentucky's next 100 years
is to be celebrated in the same confused manner of Monday, Feb.
22, 1965, then I am only thankful that I won't have to sit through
another "flop."

Role Of Student Press
Complicates B. U. Row
By MATT DOUGLAS

The Harvard Crimson
Boston University has no student newspaper.
This fact is the nub of the entire controversy now festering at
the Commonwealth Ave. campus over alleged administration
censorship of the student press.
What then is the weekly newspaper, Ihe B.U. News? The News
is apparently all things to all
people who have a finger in its
financing and operation.
The administration says the
paper was founded as, and is intended to be, a sort of glorified house organ. "The B.U. News
is a University paper run by students. . .It is an opportunity for
students to manage an administrative agency," asserted J. Wendell Yeo, vice president for Student Affairs, in a Crimson interview Tuesday.
Criticism, says Mr. Yeo, is
the "essence of the university,"
and one role of the B.U. News
is to criticize the administration
"in a constructive way."
Werner Bundschuh, who as the
all powerful
essentially is the B.U. News, thinks
the paper should be, if it is not
already, allowed to function as
a
independent,
paper published
"in accordance with the principles of the free press."
In the past the paper has been
relatively free of official interference; last Thursday, however,
the News received an order from
Harold C. Case, president of the
university and legal publisher
of the News.
