Israelis Visit UK Campus

Less than two months ago David Silverstein
was piloting a jet bomber over Arab territory,
“fighting for the life of my country and for the
hope of peace" in the Mid East.

This week and next he is on the University
campus with five other Israelis, finding out what
American college life is like, and sharing his per-
sonal views on the brief but decisive war.

UK is the first stop on a twomonth “Ex-
periment in International Living" arranged by a
Lexington exchange poup.

When Israel's armed forces were mobilized, the
fl-year-old Silverstein lefl his physical experiments
at Tel Aviv University to take his place as a
lieutenant in a reserve air wing.

Now he reflects on his bombing runs with a
military Victor's pride but with a peace-lover's
sorrow, that war is sometimes necessary to main-
tain peace.

Israel, he says, would be willing to live and
let live, but the constant Arab threats and har-
rassment make it necessary to fight.

Fight or Swim
“It's either fight or swim the Mediterranean
back to Europe," he says in near-perfect English,
“andJews don't like to swim in the sea.”

Silverstein proudly possesses pictures of the de-
vastating blows dealt the Arabs. Photos of direct
hits on desert airfields and of unscarred Arab
capitals prove the Israeli might, he says. “We
can destroy Cairo, Amman, Damascus, Beirut.
But we don't want to. We want to show the
people we want peace."

Silverstein and the group's leader, NathanRaz,
discussed the war, its causes and problems, in an
interview.

Morale problems do not errist in the Israeli
armed forces, says, Raz, who is a major in charge
of army troop information and education. “'Ihere
is no choice" but to fight when it is necessary.

All 18-year-olds enter the army, and are re-
quired to serve in the reserves until about age

Campus Signatures sought

Ten million signatures by Sep
tember 30 is the goal of Nego-
tiation Now, a new Vietnam pro-
test movement that has started
soliciting signatures in Kentucky
for a “stop the bombing" peti-
tion to be presented to President
Johnson.

The group is the product ofa
meeting in Washington, D. C.
during June that heard Harvard
economist John Kenneth Gal-
braith. The meeting was attended
by a fiVe-man delegation from
Kentucky that has since formed
the executive committee ofNego—
tiation Now in Kentucky.

Hugh Meriwether of Lexing-
ton and Lee Potter Smith and
Associates of Carbondale, Ill.
were selected last week as archi-
tects for the structure. Meriwether
told the Kernel that the new fa-
cility will “be complimentary
in design to the existing Medical
Center structure."

Construction «is- to take 800
to 900 claendar days and plans
now call for the hospital to open
in 1970 or 1971.

Present VA facilities are “in-
adequate,” according to VA Hos-

pital to give modern services,
more space is essential.

The new hospital will be
equipped with air conditioning,
closed circuit color television,
and the equipment needed for
open heart surgery.

For the last two years, it has
been the policy of the Veterans
Administration to move its hos-
pitals nearer to teaching facili-
ties, usually nearer hospitals con-
nected with a university. Similar
arrangements are now in opera-
tion in Cainsville, Florida, Pitts-
burg, Pennsylvania, and just re

Professor Butwell said the pe-

‘Let’s try a bombing halt.’

The petition has four main
proposals concerning the Vietnam

A major effort is being car-
ried out on the University's Lex-

faculty signatures for the peti-
tion. Professor Butwell said there
will be a special emphasis in
September to “greet the returning
students with the petition, on this
and other State University cam-
puses."

Main Chance Purchase

Opposed By Horsemen

The University’s proposal to buy Maine Chance Farm, a 720
acre estate bordered on three sides by two farms already owned by
UK, is running into stiff opposition from some segments of the local

thoroughbred industry.

Dr. Arnold G. Pessin, a local
veterinarian representing an
anonymous group of breeders,
charged early this week that
UK has “more untaxable land
for research than it can utilize."
He also indicated that UK wants
to ”break the horse industry for
the state of Kentucky."

Dr. Pessin's remarks were

Keppel Says Academia Has No Service Role

By FRANK BROWNING

Is service to the community a university
responsibility? ”Affirmative," Clark Kerr, Dr.
John W. Oswald,National Association of State
Universities and Land Grant Colleges, Co
lumbia and Chicago Universities. ”Nega-
tive," Francis Keppel, former Commissioner
of Education.

University President John W. Oswald
designates UK's three main responsibilities
as teaching, research, and service.

This designation follows closely the guide-
lines of Dr. Oswald's former boss Clark Kerr,
who outlined these three responsibilities in
"Uses of the University" published in 1968.

The National Association of State Uni- ’V

versities and Land Grant Collegesdesignates
service as a university responsibility, and such
private universities as Columbia and Chicago
run service extension programs.

But this ideal, of service to the com-
munity, does not have the full-fledged sup-
port of former Commissioner of Education
Francis Keppel, now chairmanofthe board of
the General Learning Corporation.

\
Shouldn't Run Public Affairs
Keppel's language'is precise: “I don’t
think the university has been set up by
God to mn public affairs."

Talking in an informal interview with 14
college editors Fridayat his New York office,
Keppel expressed serious fear that the ever
increasing service role of state universities
would force them to be “drawn into the
management aspect of society—for which I
think they are not qualified."

"The tendency," he explained “is for the
University to become an arsenal for solving
social problems.

“But is it gonna get so damn big . . .
that it will eat into the relation between
the faculty and the student body?" he asked.
"This worries me more than the research
pr lem."

arlier in the interview Keppel declared

that the service role ”eats up quite as much
of culty time as does research."

made after the executive com-

mittee of the UK board of trus-

‘tees authorized President John

Oswald to offer to buy the farm,
which 'is being sold to settle
the estate of Elizabeth Arden
Graham. The farm is located
between the Coldstream Farm
and Spindletop, both UK owned.
Oswald Proposal

Dr. Oswald proposed thatthe
farm be bought to protect the
interests of the UK research foun—
dation.

But Dr. Pessin says UK's
present farm land is not being
used to the fullest extent. He
said a group wants to make
Main Chance Farm "'3 horse
center for the whole world." in-
cluding a year—round training
center featuring a five—furlong
covered training track.

The UK tmstees apparently
did not expect strong opposi-
tion to their proposal to investi-
gate‘ buying the farm. The pro—
posal was authorized at last Fri-
day's meeting.

In other action, the trustees
took major steps toward opening
the Hazard Community College
by the fall of 1968 in temporary
quarters and in acquiring addi—
tional land that will be needed
for the fidure campus.

Trustees also approved “in

UK Male: Here For Education

By GRETA FIELDS

What is a typical UK male?

Despite their strong affirma-
tion of the individual, UK girls
do have a certain general con-
ception of the UK male student.

Coeds think of him as being
at UK with the [time intention
of having a'good time. He avoids
being tied to one girl, at least
in his first year of college, be-
cause “he wants to kick up
his heels, get what he can out
of college."

”UK boys are carefree, fun-
loving," said one girl, and ano-
ther: “Most are out for a good
time, or they like to leave the
Opinion that they are.” One girl

 

said, ”Down beneath, they're
all hell-raisers. ' ’

Most girls feel that UK men
think they are being chased.
“He is running," said one coed.

Some think that he feels he
is being chased because he is
conceited, but most think he is
justified in feeling chased.

And perhaps he feels in such.

demand that “he thinks there
is no need for him to make
any effort .to meet anyone else."
That he won't make an efiort
to meet girls is one of the most
frequent female complaints
about the UK man.

Another common gripe about
him is that he is inconsider-

' UK coeds
' groups. The general consensus

 

 

 

 

ate of a girl’s feelings: ”He neg—
lects the little things that mean
so much to a girl."

He is not deliberately rude,
but he ”just doesn't think."

He neglects etiquette and“he
expects the girl to be self—suf-
ficient. He likes you to depend
on him, but not to the extent
that it cramps his style."

Cirls seem to feel there is
a discrepancy between the way
they are treated and the way
they are expected to be. ”I feel
that a boy wants me to be fem-
inine, and yet he does not de-
mand it of me in the way he
treats me," one coed said.

Another girl agreed: “Boys
are romantic-minded; they want
you to be feminine." But if they
are romantic-minded, they are
non-romantic in action: ”They
don't try to make you feel fem-
inine," she said. ,

The average UK male is fresh
on the first date. “You expect
it," most said. And although
girls expect him to be fresh,most
said that it lowered their opinion
of him if he was.

UK Female: Here
For The Male

By KERRY ALLEN
When the males clustered around tables in the Student Center
Grille tire of the Vietnam war, the latest in sports and “Where
can I park my car?" the topic of conversation eventually turns

to girls.

Specifically, they are con-
cerned with those girls who are
on hand at the moment, the
coeds who attended the Univer-
sity. However, if asked to describe
the typical UK coed, many of
them are hard-put to come up
with a definite answer.

Several boys who had, it
seems, done considerable think-
ing on the subject classified all
in three different

of the males also add that “they
ruin it by getting married later"
and their college education is not
fully put to use.

Along with the feeling that
very few girls on campus seem to
be truly interested in studying is
the generally-held opinion that
the typical coed places too much
emphasis on the Creek organiza~
tions, both fraternities and soror-
ities. She is pictured as ”either
a sorority member or desirous of
membership." She is firmly be-
lieved to be here mainly looking
for a good time, and sheis known
for being able to do so very well.

On a date, the typical coed
generally “tries not to spend too
much of her date'smoney the
first time out." This is attributed
to an attempt at making a good
impression or that she is “on a
diet."

When it finally came to a

description of what this typical
coed would look like, there were
some highly diverse opinions.

It was finally decided that she
was a short or tall individual
with long or short hair whose
dress was anywhere from "rea—
sonable" to quite "in."

Her make-up is either “not
well applied" or very natural-
looking, and her hair”either fixed
too well or not well enough."
Furthermore, her hair is usually
blond, either naturally or arti-
fically.

In spite of all of the criti-
cisms and contraditions the typi-
cal male findsin his female count-
erpart, it is evident that he is
very much in favor of her and
realizes that she adds a great
deal to his college life.

seemed to be that “The vast
majority are sent here by their
mothers to get their MRS. degree
and nothing else."

ln this group are girls who
come to college to look for a
husband because it is a better
social climate and generally a
better place to meet boys who
share her own interests and back-
ground. Among the other reasons
suggested for her appearance at
UK were that she might notwant
to stay at home or get a job,
that there was ”nothing else to
do," or that she is ”going for
an education," but it was gen-
erally agreed that she is husband-
hunting, whether she will admit
it or not.

The second category into
which a UK coed may fit is
composed of those girls who come
to get a professional degree but
get married and Quit. These girls
are ”content with some college
education" and are married by
the end of their sophomore year,
usually to Senior men.

The final group consist of a
few girls who come strictly for
an education and degree. While
these are praised for their ambi-
tion in completing college, most

a while. ”It certainly is confus-

the light and smiled. “You
know," he said, “I've sometimes
suspected that literary critics are
like little kids with their bub-

“Straw Hat’ Opening

The countryside of France is
the setting of the fourth Centen—
nial 'Iheatre production of the
summer. ”An Italian Straw Hat"
will be presented in Cuignol
Theatre July %, 29, and 30 and
again August 4, 5, and 6. '

Written by Eugene Labiche
and Marc-Michel, the comedy
was an immediate success when
it premiered in Paris in 1851. A
revival of the farce by the
Comedie Francaise in 1938
brought world-wide acclaim.

"An Italian Straw Hat” eon-
cerm the adventures and misad—
ventin'es of Fadinard, an excitable
young man about to be married.
On the way to his wedding,
his horse eats the Italian straw
hat of a lady enjoying the at-
tention of a young army ofiicer.

The soldier pursues F adinard,
and the wild chase through
France is on — with Fadinard afier
the hat, the soldier after Fad—
inard, and the bride after her
husband-to-be.

The songs and dance that
punctuate "An Italian Straw
Hat" are of quite a difi'erent
genre from those .of American
musical comedy. They belong
to French Vaudeville and ofi'er
hilarious comment to the out-

raneous chain of circumstances
that follow.

Playing the lead role of Fad-
inard in the production is Cen-
tennial Theatre's resident actor,
William Hayes. Mr. Hayes re
cently played the lead in the
first Centennial production, ”Six
Characters in Search of an Au-
thor,” and has starred inarecent
film version of “Everyman."

Resident actress Nancy Stew-
art, who has professionally ap-
peared with the Cleveland Play-

house, develops the part of the _

eccentric Baroness.

Miss Elizabeth Hoagland, last
seen as Evie in "Stop the
World . . . ,” plays Fadinard's
bride. Her father is played by
guest artist Garrett Flickinger,
University professor of law. Mr.

Flickinger has appeared profes- .'

sionally with the Village Light

He handed the book back.

SDS Convention’s Concern
Portends Judas-Like , Demise

At their summer convention in
Ann Arbor Michigan, Students for
a Democratic Society, who in dress
and physical appearance generally
resemble hippies were outspokenly
critical of and concerned about
their image in the nation’s press.

The Kernel used to think that
only the establishment was preoc-
cupied with image. But now it
appears the student activists are
too, and it is adegenerative shame.

Will SDS cast about with the
$74 remaining in its national trea-
sury after meeting current expenses
and seek to hire a Public Relations
firm to tinker with the organiza-
tion’s image? Will the SDS males
at the University now begin to wear
fashionably tapered seven button
shirts below their short haircuts?
Will the SDS females start wear-
ing A-line dresses below their
beauty-shopped hairdos?

If so, their images will improve,
a little.

The University

While campuses around the
country are recoiling in the back-
wash of speaker ban laws and the
regulation of ideas which may meet
in dialogue on the campus, the stu-
dents, faculty, and administration
of the University should take quiet
pride in the fact that they can
invite anyone to Kentucky to speak,
subject to the provision that prep-
arations have been made in advance
for a suitable hall.

This admirable University policy
does not seem to be codified nor
has it been severly tested.

Contrast the dilemma confront-
ing administrators when students
at the University of Illinois, the
University of Texas, or the Univer-
sity of North Carolina invite the
leader of the American Nazi party
or an advocate of free love, STP,
marijuana,-or someone who plans
to recite the sayings of Mao, to
speak on campus.

At the University of Illinois pro-
cedures have just now been initiated
so that in the future the student
government will be able to decide
who shall speak on campus. Illinois
is just now coming out from under
the thumbscrews of a speaker ban
law, and its Dean of Students Stan-
ton Millet, citing students conten-
tion that suppression of speakers
is a denial of the right to learn
and the right of free speech, says
that ”personally I believe there is
educational benefit in exposure to
those with difierent commitments —
even to eccentric and anti-social
causes."

Down in Texas, however, speak-
ers falling into the vague category
of final-students and undesirable
persons” are barred from state uni-

And the unwary will be un-
able to distinguish members of the
establishment from members of
SDS, at least by appearance. But
the danger to SDS is that when
it puts on the mantle of the es-
tablishment, SDS may adopt its
mentality too!

What SDS members fail to real-
ize is that the nation’s press, ex-
cept for the better newspapers, is
a member of the establishment most
generally to be found cheering in
the stands instead of reporting im-
partially from the sidelines.

If SDS were to gain the good-
will of the national news media
then SDS will have joined the team;
and if joining the team sounds
like it may be worthwhile let SDS
be reminded that the average team
member is paid thirty pieces of
nickel plated copper which pass
these days for silver.

versity and college campuses by a
new Texas law, which also pro-
vides that campus police can have
peace ofiicer status and firearms
when combating troublemakers.
The Chancellors of the state col-

-leges and universities will deter-

mine who are undesirable persons.

At the University of Texas there
seems to be‘ no due process, no
justice or regard for a free inter-
change of ideas, but only the con-
servative caprice of Chancellor
Harry H. Ransom who has expelled
students who picketed a campus
visit by Vice-President Hubert
Humphrey, and banned from cam-
pus the only active liberal student

organization.
To the east, at the University
of North Carolina, a stringent

speaker ban law has recently been
amended to permit the chancellor
and the board of trustees to de-
termine who are acceptable speak-
ers. Hopefully Chancellor William
Friday will be more permissive with
this authority than his Texas coun-
terpart. It must be noted-too that
there is one good provision of the
North Carolina speaker ban law,
which insists that all campus speak-
ers answer questions from the audi-
ence after their speech.

And to the west, at the Uni-
versity of California, the fall en-
rollment, according to the July
issue of the Chronicle of Higher
Education, will be 1,700 fewer stu-
dents than last year, and 11,400
fewer than had been expected for
the fall semester. Who would deny
that the subtle suppression of the
free interchange of ideas by the
cinema. sovemor is in somemcasure
responsible? '

Keppel Criticizes University Service

Keppel insists one central question al-
be borne in mind in service func—
ns: ”What role do students play?"

Admitting success in medical service—
such as internships or projects like UK's
Community Medicine Program—he has
serious doubts as to how successful apart
students can play in other programs.

Some Reservations

Among the programs which he ex-
pressed hesitation toward were university
Peaoe Corps or Job Corps participation,
activities which seldom bear any relations
whatsoever to students already on campus.

The classic example of University ser-
vice is the Agricultural Extension Service,
known to farmers throughout the states
as County Agents. While paid partially by
the University, their duties are almost
totally related to the areas they serve.

Over the last year UK's extension ser-
vice has expanded beyond agricul
