Indian Relics Featured
In Anthropology Museum
By SANDRA FARIIAM
Few students know there is a Carnegie Hall, even a Museum of
Anthropology on campus, unless they accidentally get into the wrong
building.
And then, as Dr. Frank Essene, head of the Department of Anthropology, puts it, "Some stay and learn, but most get out Just as
fast as they can."
The museum is not Just 'a display of Indian relics; it serves primarily as a center for research of the story of Kentucky Indians and
huw they lived.
Each summer, staff members make field trips to various parts of
the state to bring back materials for the museum.
Student workers, under this plan, have a chance to learn more
about their profession doing field work. Many have excavated materials throughout Kentucky and some are Involved in private
projects.
Second, the museum preserves historical materials, both analyzed
and unanalyzed, for the future use of students and archeologists.
Third, through exhibits, it reveals sets of Ideas about various topics
in anthropology.

John Hulse AGE: 27 MAJOR: Bus. Adm.
PRESENT JOB: Telephone Manager, Sioux City, Iowa

NAME:

is

When John Hulse was a senior at the U. of
South Dakota, he had his own set of "do's" and
"don'ts." Don't become a mere cipher on somebody's payroll. Don't sit on the shelf waiting for
your first taste of responsibility. Do get a job
where you have a chance to show your stuff
right from the start. Do the job.

John knew his B.S. in Business Administration could lead him into almost any field. He
chose the telephone business and joined Northwestern Bell.
One of his first assignments: streamlining operating procedures for the telephone offices of Iowa's
five largest cities. In this work John showed
good judgment and sound organizing ability.

Today he is Telephone Manager of Sioux

Besides managing
operations,
helping plan tomorrow's telephone growth is
an important part of John's job. A typical example is the work he does with the Sioux City
Industrial Development Association. In this role,
he's the answer man on projecting, planning and
supplying the communications needs of new industry. He's shown above with Bob Sweeney,
manager of the Sioux City Chamber of Commerce.
"You must always be thinking of the future
in this business," John says. "We have to stay
ahead. I think a man who has something to offer

what it can do for him."

Well Informed Public
Whether the citizens of Kentucky
vote in Novcmlcr to authorize or
deny a limited constitutional convention, newspapermen, civic, business,
and education leaders have determined that the outcome will not le
the decision of an uninformed public.
Rarely does a day pass that the
state's leading newspapers' do no
devote some space to news coverage
and editorial comment on the proposed constitutional convention.
History and government students
throughout
the commonwealth's
school system are discussing the proposal every day in their classes.
Groups all over the state feature
speakers who discuss the pros and
cons of the referendum.
The major opposition to the convention arises from the fear of a
people in a democracy that someone
will interfere with their basic rights.
But the newspapers have, and will,
repeatedly emphasize that if the
voters accept the constitutional revisions, the convention will deal with
12 specific subjects. Under the provisions of the referendum the people's
rights cannot and will not be tampered with in any way.
Those opposing the convention
argue that the system used to amend
our national constitution is sufficient
for the state's needs.
--

Government-consciou- s

editors

and civic groups reply that amending
the state's constitution by offering
two amendments every two years is
much too slow to keep pace with
Kentucky's rapidly expanding facilities. They feel it will take too long
to amend every clause requiring improvement if we are to keep pace
with other states which rate above
Kentucky in nearly every field education, industry, and judicial procedure.
The major changes lie in improving the judiciary system and removing the present salary limitations on
public officials in positions of trust
and responsibility, doctors in state institutions, city managers, of second-clas- s
cities, and school superintendents of large districts.
There is no excuse nor are there
any reasons why every UK student
should not know what the convention
question involves. It is the responsibility of the citizens of Kentucky
to accept the facts and the information objectively and to- discuss
and weigh them critically and analytically.
Then the decision, regardless of
the vote's outcome, will be that of
an informed citizenry and not the
folly exhibited in similar votes in
the past.
-

Was That You?
Was that you? A friend of ours
saw a heavily laden student dashing
across campus the other day. He was
late for class and was almost running
when a bewildered freshman stopped
him and asked for some information.
He stopped and carefully directed
the freshman to the desired desti-

'
nation.
Later another friend saw a student crossing campus when he spied
a litter of paper near a trash barrel.
The student halted, knelt, and picked
up the scrap and placed it in the
barrel.

Still later we learned of a smiling

young man who helped a coed retrieve a number of scattered books
that had slipped from her grasp.
We have never seen him; our description of him is rather sketchy. He
is a kind young man who always
seems to have the time to do a favor

smile and kind word as he goes about

Cleaning Up Bills
Japan has started issuing what the
American news services, always eager
to assist headline writers call "washable money." Apparently it is paper
currency coated with moisture and
surface.
In any case, we're all for it. One
of the big gaps in this drip-dr- y
age
has been pocket money. Every time
we watch one of those commercials
where a grown man purposely goes
strolling in a downpour only to
emerge smiling and immaculately
creased, we fall to wondering what
will happen to his smile when he
reaches into his pocket to tip the
headwaiter and pulls out a mass of
soggy green pulp.
Some users of money will doubtless object to coated bills. The idea
does sound rather related to the general plot to chromeplate the world.

It appears to open the door to
cellophane bank checks and nylon
pennies. But actually clean bills
would be worth the risk. Certainly a
slight sheen would be more acceptable than the patina of grime that so
often dims the visage of George
Washington or Queen Elizabeth, and
somehow weakens one's enthuiasm
for thrift.
Besides, washable money presumably will have been treated to
prevent shrinkage.

Research No Danger
By DR. MALCOLM

E. JEWELL

The Kernel's editorial of Oct. 5,
"The Research Mania," reflects a
critical attitude toward research at
this university that the Kernel has
stated in the past and that is probably shared by many students on the
campus. I believe it should be answered because it represents a serious misunderstanding of the purpose of a university. I recognize the
attitude of students toward professors
who are absorbed in research; I can
recall feeling the same way when I
was in college.
It should not be necessary to explain the importance of research. It
is the source of all the knowledge
available in textbooks or in the lecture halls. It may not be so obvious
that teachers at a university such as
this have a special responsibility to
carry out research. Teachers at other
colleges in the state are limited in
their research opportunities by heavy
teaching loads and less adequate library and laboratory facilities. Studies of government, history or economics, for example, that are particularly
related to Kentucky may not be done
at all unless they are done here.
Moreover, this is the principal
center for graduate training in the
state an increasingly important responsibility for the University. One
of the most valuable forms of graduate training assistance in the research being carried on by University
professors. In short, it is ridiculous
to warn that the University is in
danger of becoming a "research
school" and is receiving too many research grants. The University has no
other choice if it is to serve the people of Kentucky.
Another point seldom understood
by students is that research and
teaching are independent. I think
most teachers have found, as I have,
that they can make their courses
more interesting and valuable when
it is possible to use illustrations drawn
directly from their research work.
The professor who is constantly exploring his field for more information
and insight has more to offer his
classes than one who reports ex

clusively on the findings of others.
This is particularly important when
there are graduate students in the
classes.

The students have a legitimate
and more important grievance only
when the teacher's concentration on
research does not leave enough time
for his students and his course work.
This liappens less often on this campus than at most universities I know,
but it remains a problem. There arc
several avenues toward a' solution.
Some few academic persons are good
research men but are simply not good
teachers. In a growing university it
should l)c possible to assign such

people primarily to research work
and the supervision of graduate students' research. It is likewise important that promotion policies reflect
equal recognition of teaching and research. You are right that the teacher must not lx'come an "object of
ridicule or scorn."
Most important, as more money
Ixxomes available for- higher education, course loads and sabbatical
leave must be adjusted to permit the
professor to do a significant amount
of research without interfering with
his teaching responsibilities. Research
grants are not the villains that you
suggest; these and funds for increased
staffs enable the University to perform both its functions better.

The Readers' Forum
Wants Togetherness
To The Editor:
Do you know what happens to a
University coed when she accepts a
date to a football game with a
man? When they get to the
game she is likely to sit through the
whole thing alone. Why? Because
there is a rule.
What are the results of such a
rule? The most disastrous possibility
is that the first time your date encounters this situation he may leave
in a buff, after having been told by
the individual who sold him his
ticket (to another section) and by
an official at the gate, and by sundry
officials at Sections E, D, C, and U
that he can sit with you, only to run
headlong into the official at Section
A where both of you are to be admitted, and to learn that he cannot
go in just then, that he will have to
wait for an announcement granting
him legal and ordained entry to the
student sanctuary, and that your combined eforfts to get there 45 minutes
early to occupy good seats have been
in vain.

the field for the kickoff, an announcement comes over the
"Dates of UK students may now sit

You watch the kickoff, then search
