Investigation Asked
On UK Radio Station

JOHN ZEH

Kernel Staff Writer
A charge of faculty takeover at
the University's FM radio station
has resulted in a request for an
investigation of the station's
operation and management.
In a letter to Vice President
for Student Affairs Robert L.
Johnson, Student Congress Vice
President John O'Brien today
asked for the WBKY probe,
saying:
"Certain sources have informed me that the radio

UK should broadcast inferior
programming just because that's
what the students (operating the
station) want," he said.
The new student station head,
program manager Kathy Clark,
emphasized that the faculty role
is one of "guidance."
"And the faculty hasn't
abused that position," she said.
"This is a learning situation,
and the professors are more than
willing for us to develop on our

own."

Stuart Ilallock, head of the
Radio, TV, Films Department,
told the Kernel that charges of
a faculty takeoverare "absolutely
.

unfounded."

Sixteen students under grants-in-ai- d
work at the station, he
pointed out, with faculty supervision "to keep them from doing
something not, in good taste."
He also said that Roofs
removal from the top job was due
to "internal problems," but declined to elaborate.
Roof told the Kernel today
that he basically agrees with
Miss Clark, Mr. Ilallock, and
Mr. Wheeler about their feelings
on the operation, and has no
complaints.

Kentucky Passes State Bond Issue

By FRANK BROWNING
Assistant Managing Editor
Tuesday to
Kentucky voted three-to-on- e
a $176 million bond issue which will
pass
grant the University $5.7 million for capital
improvements.
"Naturally I am delighted with the clear-cu- t
outcome of the bond issue, not only for
what it will mean to higher education, but
because it will assure future progress of the
Commonwealth on all fronts," UK President
John Oswald said.
"It means UK can proceed rapidly with
an orderly expansion of its facilities both at
Lexington and at the Community Colleges;
and in so doing it can provide for the growth
of quality education."
There were only small areas in the state

where the bond issue did not get a majority.
Of the $176 million in bonds, $139 million
will go to match federal aid for highways
with the rest going for other state projects.
"Kentucky's citizens have made a wise
choice," Cov. Edward T. Breathitt said.

"Their action means more and better
highways, schools, parks and health facilities. It means increased industrialization,
more profitable agriculture, more jobs, and
a higher standard of living, both for us and
our children," he continued.
"An egregious error, and you'll find out
a whopper," former Cov. A. B.
Chandler exclaimed.
"I think the people will rue the day that

that's

they voted for that boondoggle," he said.
Referring to the University administration,
Chandler said, "I was well aware they had
applied pressure on every student and professor to support the bond issue."
"For a promise of $5 million they put the
whole prestige of the University behind
passage of this thing."
President Oswald said he had no
comments regarding Chandler's charges.
State administrative forces have emphasized during the last month that there will
not be any increase in taxes to pay back the
money over a 30--y ear period.
Cov. Breathitt has stressed the fact tliat
the issue is likely to draw about $700 million
in federal funds.

The seminar will begin at
10 a.m.
"Watch on Poverty" is n
amateur research and field study
program "studying the aspects
of poverty and using economics
only as a base for the study",
Y vice president John O'Brien
said.
It will not interfere with such
direct action groups as the
Appalachian Volunteers, O'Brien
emphasized, for its basic interest
is in poverty's social aspects,
its effect on mores and customs.
A unique aspect of the overall program is its involvement
not only in rural areas but in
low er class urban centers as w ell.
Three areas to be studied will
be Eastern Kentucky, Louisville,
and Cincinnati.
Actual field work will not
begin until next semester following the seminar's initiation.'

r

Betw een SO and 100 students w ill
be involved in the program.
Included in the field studies
will be the effect of poverty
pockets on other groups of the
social strata. Other studies will
be made on the effectiveness of
present federal government poverty programs in vol veil in the
overall War on Poverty.
A report of the research teams
will be submitted for publication
upon completion of tin? project.
Research program director is
Ed Ockerman, an Arts&Sciences
sophomore. He has been gathering preliminary research for the
field projects since the beginning
of the fall semester.

Mr. Sanders gave two reasons

for the United Ministry on this
campus. First, the ministry is

today more concerned with the
role of the church onthecampus.
The ministry must help to equip
students, faculty, and staff for
their positions as Christians in
campus life.
Second, single denominations
fail to present a full perspective
on the present w orld and the role
of a "faithful servant of Jesus
Christ in this world".
The rrcsb)terian Center on
Rose Street serves as the United
Ministry center. A United Ministry Board and a Student
Council, lxlh interdenominational, plan the programs and
projects for the group.
As this is the United Ministry's first year in operation, the
is
largely one of
program
discussion and debate as to the
purposes of United Ministry and
its direct relationship to the
campus.
A very interesting
project
being considered, report ed Mr.
Sanders, is a coffee house. The
United Ministry has seen tle
need on the UK campus for a
student center of a more relaxed
nature a place perhaps decorated with student art and provided with student

Fiedler To Conduct In Concert
"You don't cat roast be-- every
day, do you?" says famed conductor
Arthur Fiedler when
questioned alxnit his love for
musical variety, from the Beatles
to Beethoven. Fiedler will appear
as conductor of the Buffalo Pops
Orchestra at 8 p.m. Friday at
Memorial Coliseum.
Students
will be admitted on their l.D.
cards.
Variety might be termed the
e
of Fiedler's lift;. Having
reached an age where nost other
men would have re'.ired, one
might at least expect Fiedler to
begin slowing down. Not likely.
He refuses even to take a vacation.
"I get bored after the first
couple of days ofdoingnothing,"
he admits, "and besides, my life
is so full of variety that it is
something of a continuing vacakey-not-

In 1930, Fiedler assumed

brought that organization to a
prominence and wealth unique
in the history of orchestras.
The 1965 season has been studded with Fiedler milestones of

Letters To The Editor

Dr. Oswald Comments
On UK's Homecoming
To The Editor:
to the
This is addressed
thousands of students who contri-

buted to the success of Homecoming
in our Centennial Year, 1965. In a

year filled with many special
events, no one single occasion has
affected more people than Homecomingthe students on campus,
the alumni, and the people in the
community and throughout the
state who are interested in the University.
I am aware of how much work
was involved at a time when all of
our liv es are busy, and I appreciate,
as do the Trustees, that the results
this special year were impressive.
All who were here will always
remember this Homecoming, which
was notable because of the support
and efforts of many different persons
in many different ways.
Thank you for your wonderful
contributions to our University.
JOHN W. OSWALD
President of the University
To the Editor of the Kernel:
I, for one, found Student
Congress' action of last Thursday
extremely interesting.
Specifically, SC voted down a
resolution supporting US policy in
Vietnam, and the reason given was
that SC considered Vietnam and

other "political" issues to not be
a proper field for SC to invade.
This is very, very interesting
because slightly less than a year
ago, Student Congress affiliated
with the National Student Association, a union of college student
governments which supposedly was
organized to aid its members, but
seems to prefer to spend its time
and money (which is provided by
affiliated schools and, therefore, by
the students therein) taking positions on you guessed it political
issues.
The most interesting fact of all
is the item that, duringthe summer
'65 NSA convention, the NSA condemned US action in Vietnam and
in the Dominican Republic. This
fits in nicely with NSA's previous

stands such as its condemnation
of the US sponsored invasion of
Cuba several years ago.
May I suggest that the Student
Congress, if it is going to be consistent, immediately withdraw from
NSA, since NSA has been stepping
outside the proper functions of
student government. Or is Student
Congress suffering from an advanced case of schizophrenia,
perhaps?

Jobs Plentiful For Grads Now, Economist Says
The average Kentucky college graduate
will have an easier time finding a job
than his father did, according to a University economist.
But to keep that Job he must be
ambitious enough to take constant retraining and must have appropriate job
attitudes, Dr. John L. Fulmcr, director
of the Bureau of Business Besearch, said.
Jobs are made available in two ways,
Dr. Fulmcr explained. A rapidly expanding economy will create new jobs each
year. Also, a certain predictable number
of jobs will be vacated through death
and retirement each year.
The current freshman class, however,
will have more competition for Jobs. "The
population distribution is very important
in evaluating future employment opportunities," Dr. Fulmcr pointed out. Current
college graduates are in a low density
age group in the population, born during
periods of a lowered birth rate because
of war and depression.
Replacement openings alone in .the
next few years will provide numerous
openings for Job seekers, he said.
"The greatest increases will be in the
service and professional fields," Dr. Fulmcr said. Assuming a stepped-u- p economy.
Dr. Fulmer said Kentucky would add

Dr. Fulmer made a thorough analysis
of Kentucky's employment present and
future in "Occupational Trends in Kentucky" published last June.
"Job opportunities will be fairly abun

most "selling" educational preparation,
he said, would be an undergraduate degree
in engineering and science plus an M.A.
degree in business administration.
"Training is important, but so are Job
