"The word 'patron' should be

from its connotation
We in the United States need 'cooperating patrons'
'dry-clean-

as well as more intelligent patrons behind artists and craftsmen,"
commented Mrs. Beatrice Warde, internationally-knowtypographer
of New York, said last week at a lecture sponsored by the University Department of Library Science.
Speaking on "The Chasm Between Art and Typography," Mrs.
Warde said that "a work of art is a
job in which the man
who designs it says 'yes, it is my work, what of it?' "
She said that printing is the first example of industrial teamwork
in which the designer works through about eight processes to produce the printed book.
"We cannot call the designer an artist because he cannot take
full responsibility for his work," she added.
Contrasting this with the situation in Britain, where she lived
and worked for many years, Mrs. Warde said that printing schools
in England are teaching young technicians the history of printing
and typography, as it is believed to be their birthright.
"What the young man learns of the history of design and printing will remain with him all his life as an inspiration, whereas
what lie learns technically may be outdated ! the time he is 5,"
she said. "He can use his basic knowledge to help him make the
jump to the new technologies."
The great technological schools in the U.S. train persons for
management, she said. "The fine teachers should be in the gutter

of the trade schools, telling

in hospitals
Floors and shoes are one of
the biggest sources of
in a hospital, Donn
E. Cook told more than 90 persons attending the eighth annual
Executive Housekeepers Institute
at the University last week.
Speaking on "Myth versus
Method in Sanitation Practices,"
Cflok said that floors adjoining
patient areas of the hospital
should be carefully cleaned and
that personnel working in isolation units should wear special
plastic footwear to avoid spreading bacteria by their shoes.
Cook, of Vestal Laboratories
in St. Louis, warned the participants to make certain that public
bathrooms and showers in hospitals, universities, and other institutions are cleaned with a
germicide. "They are critical are
infections
eas, where
can originate."
The speaker said he would not
promulgate the myth that isolation units should be aired for 24
hours before being occupied by
another patient. "What makes
you think bacteria will die if you
air a room?" he asked.
"Many bacteria will die, but
the tough ones will just be encouraged to grow." He added
that the procedure is costly, as it
deprives the hospital of revenue
while the room is being aired.
Another procedure discounted
by Cook is "the (myth) that all
isolation units must have the
walls washed between occupancies." Cook said that it often
turns out that a patient does not
have the suspected disease and
that such a procedure is wasteful
of time and materials.

'The executive housekeeper,
he said, "should first check with
the hospital's medical authorities

Although a large proportion

Others are telling the origin

of a county's name is often news

general, but for a couple of early
settlers in that area.

at the Pcrryville Battlefield State
Park.
"I'm told that many reminders
of Pcrryville are scattered
throughout Kentucky, and probably elsewhere, too," Bell said.
"We hope that, by assembling a
collection noteworthy of public
attention, we can promote a

better understanding ofthe battle
by Kcntuckians and visitors to
our state.
"Especially needed are diaries, guns and bayonet., canteens, field caps and other parts
of Confederate and Union uniforms, flags and banners anything at all that was a part of
or was intimately connected with
the Battle of Perry ville."
Fought October 8, 1862, the
battle was the last serious Confederate attempt to take over
Kentucky for the secessionist
cause. It was the bloodiest Civil
War fight in the divided states.
The museum will be dedicated
during Perryville's homecoming
celebration on Oct. 9 the day
after the 103rd anniversary of the
battle. In addition to relics from
the fight, it will house a
visual display with
sound that tells the story of the
battle.
Anyone owning or having information of Perryville battlefield
relics should write to the committee, P. O. Box 1861, Louisville, 40201.

Small business can become big business

The Kentucky Research Foun
dation mitrors the popular story
of "small business" rising to the
rank of "big business."
You won't find KHF listed on
the stock exchange, but it is one
of the Commonwealth's major
enterprises. For money invested
in it, it turns out two products
research data and scholarly
knowledge. These cannot be
denk'd as being important contributions in this era of technology and emphasis on higher education.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, this University

not money. So, back to those
products.
The KRF membership, which
is made up of UK personnel and
individuals, was told
at its annual meeting in May that
the Foundation is currently administering funds for 142 different
research and special projects distributed among 47 UK departments and divisions. The total
appropriation for these runs well
over $4.4 million. The largest
single research giant under jurisdiction of the foundation is the
multidisciplinary tobacco-healt- h
study. The federal government
has earmarked $1.5 million for
this.
Dr. Bard, who also assumed
the office of University assistant
vice president for research development in December, referred
to a
academic analysis
as his chief guide for the Foundation's planning.
Dr. John W. Oswald, University president and president of
the Foundation, drafted this verbal "blueprint" which includes
his statement that "a concerted
effort must be made within the
next decade to encourage greater
cooperative research between the
faculties of the various graduate,
undergraduate, and professional
colleges of the University.
"Encouragement must go to
interdisciplinary institutes and
team-typ- e
research, for the effect
of this activity will be felt
throughout the University and
the Commonwealth," wrote Dr.
Oswald. "An enlarged national
and international role will find
the University expected by the
federal government and by an
increasing number of state agencies to answer questions and
probe more deeply into areas
where additional knowledge is
needed."
The analytic document further
states that by 1975, the University
can expect to handle $13 million
from outside sources and have its
own approved research budget
of $4 million.
Granting and administering
fellowships and scholarships are
additional services which afford

facility has never faltered in its
climb for financial security and
recognition for service. It was
established with less than $2,000
but at the end of the first fiscal
year, it boasted total assets of
its
$8,070. By the
treasury held over $370,000. The
$1.5 million mark was hit in
1958 and last year's figure hovered around $2.5 million.
The trend for increased assets
won't stop this year, according
to KRF's new executive director,
Dr. Raymond C. Bard. He anticipates an even higher influx
of appropriations than for any
previous year.
"The money is there in industry and in federal agencies
which want answers to technical
problems and there is no reason
why we shouldn't receive our
share," said the director who,
although a scientist (cell biologist) by profession, handles administrative chores with Madison

However, there are profits, if

budget to five graduate students
working in significant areas of
research. Ten freshman scholarships worth $250 each also were
awarded.
The Foundation manages a
number of restricted and endowment accounts in support of study
stipends for deserving students,
lectures, and other educational
activities. These sources provided
197 scholarships and fellowships
last year.
Dr. Bard said he has a willing
car for any UK faculty member
who has a proposed research
project. If the proposal appears
sound, he intends to follow it
through until some agency can
be attracted to give pecuniary
support.
"And this just does not mean
research in the physical and natural sciences," the director
pointed out. "Proposals coming
from the social sciences and humanities will warrant equal consideration and action from me."
He added that he will be on
the alert constantly for new research projects and will keep an
eye on pilot projects to see if
they should be broadened.

Dr. Bard acknowledged that
much of the research going on
at UK is highly technical and

"above the layman's head."
Nevertheless, he advocated that
the public should be informed as
to what scientific and scholarly
projects are under way in each
of the colleges, pointing out that
the University is an institution
supported by Kentucky taxpayers. "People have the right
to know," he said.
The Foundation's board of
directors has adopted an operational budget for the current
fiscal year that will provide
$150,000 for research equipment
sored
and
research
and $100,000 in support
grants
of institutes proposed by Dr.
Oswald and approved by the
Board of Trustess. They will in
KRF-spo- n

clude the Institute of Theoretical
and Applied Mechanics, Center
for Developmental Change, Institute of Water Resources, and
Institute for. Public Administration.
The Foundation board has
authorized purchase of a $42,500
electron microscope to be used on
a campus-wid- e
basis. It will be
housed in the Funkhouser Building in a laboratory made possible
by a $4,500 contribution from
University funds.
The board also has begun
legal proceeding to ament the
Foundation's bylaws in order
that the Foundation have its title
changed to University of Kentucky Research Foundation, and
to add a sixth member to the
board's executive committee.

He butchered fellow Cubans. Once
the reporter saw the contents of a
shark's stomach, caught by a fisherman off El Moro Castle. It contained the initialed cufflinks of a
student who had disappeared from
El Moro Castle a few days before.
Once 50 students came to the reporter's room in the National Hotel,
took off their shirts and showed
their backs, cruelly scarred from
beatings administered while in prison. One day the wives of Havana
business and professional men staged a protest parade before
palace. Prostitutes and female prisoners were released and
provided with razor blades with
which to attack the demonstrators.
Sumner Welles, then U.S. ambassador to Cuba, arranged for the
reporter to see Machado. It was
necessary to pass through machine-gunguards, and many doors to
reach him. The interview was

America.

The story stirs memory. A
reporter remembers the Cuba
once-youn-

of the 1930s when Gerardo Machado
was the despot. He was, with
reason, called "the butcher." Memory recalls being in the wine cellar
of a town officer of the Havana
Rotary Club. A small group was at
work manufacturing bombs. The
racks for wine bottles also served
to hold sticks of dynamite. An underground movement called "the
A. B.C." was actively at work. It
operated with "cells" of 10 men
each. Each of 10 organized 10 more.
One day the young reporter was
in the American club at Havana.
His old friend Tillinghast L'Hoin-medie- u
Huston, one time
of the Yankees and an engineer
who, after the Spanish American
War, had built harbor installations
at Havana and also designed the
city's sewerage system, had given
the reporter a membership card.

Fulgencio Batista overthrew
Machado. There were riots. The
body of Machado's much hated
police chief was disinterred from
the cemetery and dragged through
the streets. Batista, the reformer,
in time became as much a butcher
as had Machado.
The reporter recalls talking with
Felipe Pazos, head of Cuba's national bank, and two other members of Castro's cabinet a few
months after the overthrow of Batista. The communists had worked
with Batista. They had not supported Castro until they were sure
he would win. The cabinet members said they knew there were a
few communists in the army and in
the bureaucracy, but they were not
enough to prevail. They did prevail,
largely because of Che Guevara, a
disciplined, highly trained, dedicated communist.
Guevara, appointed minister of
industry", made the error of trying
to establish a heavy industry. He
failed. As of this writing, Guevara's
status is in doubt. He has lost his
official position. But it is almost
certain that he remains in charge of
organizing guerrillas, saboteurs,
and specialists in fomenting riots
and anarchy, and that his hand
was evident in Santo Domingo. It
is interesting to await the next
chapter in the history of this evil
and dangerous man.

sible for the expected resignations
of a number of respected faculty
members who threatened to quit
if the rule went unchanged.
And any student demonstrations
protesting the decision can be
charged also to the bullheaded
backwardness of the five who disregarded the recommendations of
the professional educators they
hired.
President Novice G. Fawcett,
following the recommendations of
a faculty committee, urged the
trustees to eliminate his power to
veto speakers he felt were subversive.
Since 1951 an OSU president
has been empowered to bar from the
campus any guest speaker he judged
to be subversive, allied to subversive purposes or whose views
he felt to be just not in the best
interests of the school. In the '50's
Ohio State was one of only eight
universities in America using a

gag rule.

According to Fawcett, 75 percent
of the students favored changing
the rule. But the five trustees who
voted against the change apparently believe most of Ohio
State's students are not capable of
making responsible judgments. And
apparently these five trustees feel
the faculty judgment is also wrong.
