Ag College Studying
Production Potential
Of Farm Economy
The University's College of
Agriculture and Home Economics
is conducting a study of the production potential of Kentucky
commercial farming. It will be
used In the State's effort toward
an annual billion dollar farm
economy.
Dr. William A. Seay, dean of
the college, said he hoped to
have a report within a month
outlining growth and development patterns in Kentucky's
farm income.
Governor Breathitt said the
detailed report will serve as "both
a benchmark and blueprint for
the development of an efficient
farm program In the state."

gress, the Washington Seminar
was inaugurated in 1962 as a
means of giving upperclass and
graduate students a clearer insight into federal government operations.
Mrs. Katherine Kemper, director of the University Placement
Service, and members of the UK
Alumni Association's District of
Columbia chapter have coordineffort durated the
ing the three years the program
has been in operation. But the
number of job applications from
students
always exceeds the
available positions.
Students who have landed
berths in the seminar report that
they benefit not only from their
job experience but from the frequent, informal conferences
which are held throughout the
summer with senators, congressmen and other government figures.
Chairman of the current seminar is Carl Modeckl, Pahokee,
Fla., who was graduated in May
from the UK School of Journalism. Now employed in the
public affairs office of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, he plans to enroll
this fall at George Washington
University Law School.

who resigned earlier this month
to accept the presidency of the
four-yeMiddle Georgia College at Cochran, Ga. Dr. Alderman had been director of the
Henderson Community College
since 1959.
A
native of Benton, Mo., Dr. Arnold holds two
bachelor's degrees from Southeast
Missouri State College and master's and doctor's degrees from
the University of Missouri.
In 1959 he was appointed to
the staff of Science Research Associates and assigned to Bowling
Green as the firm's Kentucky
field representative. In that position he has worked closely with
Kentucky schools, serving as
consultant in the development
and use of instructional materials, tests and evaluation services.
The scholarships for the community colleges came from local
businesses and organizations in
the various areas.
The Prestonsburg community
college, to open in September,
received $3,250 in scholarship
grants. The Henderson branch
received $3,350, the Ashland
branch got $2,160, and the branch

duction achieves both these zeniths.
As the curtain opens, the people of New Hope Valley, Tennessee,
are having a rollicking square dance Just prior to the beginning of
the upcoming revival meeting. In contrast to the fun loving people
are the church elders a group of senseless,
"human
beings" filled with prejudice, ignorance, and hate.
In a few days, after the Rev. Olin Blitch has arrived, the elders,
while looking for a baptismal creek, discover Susannah bathing
in it. From that moment on, Susannah is persecuted by hypocrisy
namely the church elders.
The climax to the drama comes when Susannah, driven by their
demands for a public confession, attends a revival meeting. There,
she meets, not Christians, but a malevolent, bigoted mob, reeking
with a sadistic curiosity in her.
In the Apocrypha of the Bible, Susannah's chastity is rewarded.
In Floyd's drama, it is not.
The play itself seems to drag a little in the first act, and the
opening scene is somewhat short of the enthusiasm necessary.

Actually, the first act as written set the scene, and the real drama

Human Sympathy At Zenith In 'Susannah9
"How short people are on loving kindness. It must make
the good Lord sad," Sam Polk tells Susannah, his sister, in the
Guignol Theatre's music drama, "Susannah."
"Susannah" Is a contemporary opera that demands the peak
In human sympathy and understanding,

The new department of cell
biology, established jointly in the
Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry, is for instruction of students in the health sciences in

penetrating in the dramatic scenes and like a lark when she sings
such arias as "Ain't It A Pretty Night." Her acting equals her voice.

The Rev. Olin Blitch is played by Wayland Rogers, who does a
superb Job. His characterization of a country revival preacher which
could be humorous if overplayed is not only realistic, but also
contains the pathos of a man defeated by his own teachings.
Sam Polk, played by Michael Sells, is a simple mountain trapper
prone to "go off on a drunk" occasionally, but guided by a faith in
Ood and a basic understanding of people. Sells' character is difficult
to portray due to the fact that it is not bo clearly defined as
Susannah's and Blltch's.
Little Bat, played by Randy Williams, might be called three dimensional malevolence. He is a weakling filled with fear, ignorance,
and malice. Williams succeeds in creating an utterly disgusting

character.

Deserving much credit is Celia Butler who plays Mrs. McLean.
Elder McLean's wife, mother of Little Bat. Her
mind
is perhaps bordering on Insane cruelty as she beams, watching
Susannah's torment at the revival.
Carlyle's music, to which the term "difficult" is a great understatement, Is masterfully played by Charlotte Tacy, a high school
student at Bryan Station, and Janet Hall, a music instructor.
Although the scenery in "Susannah" is basically functional,
it is beautiful, and the lighting greatly facilitates the scene changes.
Particularly good is the scene in which Susannah is discovered
bathnlg; the black landscaiw is silhouetted against the freshness
of the early morning bky. It seems a contrast of black bigotry with
fresh purity.
Critics have declaimed "Susannah" for its subject mutter, stating
that Is inadequate for grand opera. But, then, "Susannah" is not
grand opera: It Is musical drama.

garage and lot be built was based
upon a campus parking study
that concluded an additional 622
parking spaces would be needed
by fall, 1966, and that an additional 1,348 spaces would be required by fall of 1968.
The garage, if built, would be
located east of Rose Street near
the boys dormitories. The lot
would be built near the Agricul
ture Science Building. Board approval would be needed for construction of both.
The parking study was organized under a new parking control plan approved by the Trustees on Feb. 21. The new system
places the Vice President for
Business Affairs in charge of
University parking, taking parking out of the Dean of Men's
Office.
Under the new parking plan,
student parking fees will remain
the same while faculty and staff
members, who previously had
paid no parking fee. will be
charged according to their parking place and rank. The faculty
members will be given priority on
spaces nearer their office.
Under the current parking arrangement, the study estimated
there was a ratio of one spare
to each 1.2 faculty and administrative vehicle, one space to each
1.1 staff veli I tie, and one space to
rath 1.5 student vehicle.
Parking permits are now issued
by five classifications: academic
and administrative faculty, staff
and disabled students, general
students, visitor's parking, and
service vehicles and service trucks.
