'Faith9 Has Brought Victory Bef ore9
President Johnson Says At Inanguiral

Assistant Managing Editor
WASHINGTON "Faith has brought victory to America before
and it shall again," President Lyndon Baines Johnson told a shivering inaugural audience in the nation's capital today.
President Johnson also declared the time has come for the
United States "to achieve progress without strife and change without hatred."
After being sworn in as the 36th President of the United States,
Mr. Johnson said, "enemies of the United States have always awaited
our defeat when faith brought victory."
The President stressed the convenants of "justice, liberty, and
union," forged by the nation's forefathers.
Mr. Johnson thus reiterated basic principles and ideals lending
to them a 20th Century interpretation.
"We believe that every man must someday be free," President
Johnson said. He declared that "we will blend a new and changing
world to the hopes of man."
The President said that each generation has a destiny and that
"the choice for this generation must be our own."
Mr. Johnson offered a reply to the frequently heard criticism that
his "Great Society" is merely another man's version of Utopia.

He said he seeks not a "sterile" society, but rather one which is

University Marching Units
Help Celebrate Inaugural Day
By DAVID V. IIAWPE
Kernel Executive Editor

WASHINGTON-- It is the morning of Lyndon Johnson's ascendency the dawn of the administration that
will bear his name alone.

Following a night spent enroute to Washington, the
University military marching units stepped off toward
the inauguration of President Johnson in the early hours
today.
Bitterly cold morning breezes greeted the Kentuckians
as the Inaugural Special sped into the nation's capital
about 7:15 a.m.
Framed by the cold winds, the Capitol building stood
in bold relief against a broad expanse of pink and blue
sky.

Few local residents had as yet ventured into the wide
city thoroughfares, and the Capitol grounds are blanketed
with snow.
An immense quiet hangs over the city, in sharp contrast to the color and the confusion that will mark the
day's festivities.
If the capital is quiet this morning, the train ride was
something else again.
Among the University ROTC students, a party atmosphere prevailed.
Sometime during the night the party atmosphere subsided, and the students rested a few hours in preparation
for their march along the IS block parade route.
Nor was the University group alone in its festive
bent. The entire train was alive with an air of celebra

tion.
One such celebration was a liquor and poker affair,
involving Clark County citizens, that continued well
into the morning hours.
But still, the focus of activity was on Lyndon Johnson.
One passenger an elderly lady produced photographs
of the President's wife, Lady Bird.
She boasted proudly that Mrs. Johnson had held her
grandson on a recent visit to Kentucky.
Most persons on the train spoke of President Johnson
as if he were an old friend and this is precisely the
image the President attempts to convey.
Remark after remark applauded "old Lyndon's"
craftiness and political acumen.
But it is not President Johnson's day alone. This
inauguration as must many others to come is
reminder of another inaugural day Jan.
20, 1961.

Three elderly ladies were overheard outside the train
station asking directions to the grave of John Fitzgerald
Kennedy.

The gravesite was opened to the public early today,
and large crowds of pilgrims will make their way up
Arlington Cemetery hill before the day is done. Several
University students planned to visit the gravesite.
The University group will tour Washington tonight
and tomorrow, and then will return to Islington Friday
morning.
The group is being housed at lklvoir Army Post

* Musical Chairs
The rather clandestine manner
in which the Student Center Music
Room lias been claimed by the
Centennial office only lends credence to suggestions fr0m some
areas that the entire Centennial
Celebration is being run in a highhanded manner, with little or no
regard for existing programs.
It is regrettable that these inferences are drawn from this action,
but it is even more unfortunate
because they may seem justified
in light of what has happened.
When the project was first mentioned, a rash of adverse comment
forced the dropping of the plan for
the moment, or at least forced its
being kept quiet.
Now, it seems, the Student Center Board over the objections of
at least one veteran officer has
agreed that the Music Room will
become the Centennial office.
We feel that there must certainbe other arrangements possible,
ly
and that to appropriate the Music
Room for Centennial office space
is most unfortunate.
While space studies conducted
by a campus committee demonstrate clearly that a small number
of students use the Music Room
facilities, still it seems unfortunate
to squelch the inklings of cultural
ferment which any use of the room
at all indicates. It is particularly
unfortunate when other arrangements are possible.
One possible solution is the use
of White Hall for Centennial offices.
The argument forwarded against
this plan is that Dr. Patterson must

greet Centennial

guests in
surroundings.
Why not renovate an office there
for Centennial use? Would the revamping of one office cost so very
well-appoint-

much?

Another argument used to quell
the White Hall plan is that it is
not as close to Student Center
cafateria facilities as the Music
Room. It seems to us, however,
that White Hall is sufficiently close
to the Student Center to discount
this argument.
Another possibility which occurs
to us is the use of the President's
Room for the Centennial office. It
is in the Student Center Building,
and it is the most beautifully decorated room in the building.
Teas and other small functions
already scheduled for this room
this year could be moved to the
small ballroom and Room 206. Perhaps Miss Mackie Rasdell will op-- ,
pose this plan because it would
require some rescheduling, but we
would suggest that this is preferable to the loss of the Music Room.
We are certain that Dr. Patterson would rather find a more equitable solution to the problem than
the loss of the Music Room as a
student facility.
We are told that music will be
piped into the Browsing Room,
but this is hardly an adequate
substitute for the facility devoted
solely to the enjoyment of good
music. After all, music is piped
into the halls too.
A petition is being prepared that
will ask that other arrangements be
made. We hope it succeeds.

The Teacher Gap
James B. Conant, former president of Harvard and one of the
country's leading experts on higher
education, recently suggested a new
solution to one of the oldest problems facing higher education the
growing shortage of capable teachers.

Dr. Conant suggested that the
high school teaching ranks could
be an important source of college
teaching talent in the future. These
teachers, he said, must be encouraged to return to college during
summer vacations and earn their
doctorial degrees.
His suggestion has merit but it
will take a lot more than mere
encouragement to lure them back

into the college classroom. High
school teachers are notoriously
and many of them, with
families to support, cannot afford
the luxury of spending their
ed

summers in school.

The solution to that problem
could be solved in Congress this
year. Congress is likely to debate
innummerable bills involving federal aid to education. At least one
of these bills should contain provisions designed to aid the high
school teacher in furthering education and at the same time aid
in solving the college teacher shortage. Too much depends on this for
it to be ignored.

Children has performed a public service by warning against possible
abuses of sociological devices for
predicting delinquency in young

of

the Harvard Law School, constitute valuable research in human
behavior and in demonstrating that
deficient environment breeds antisocial behavior.
However, if used by teachers or
field workers with too little psychological sophistication, there is
danger that the findings will be misapplied. What is intended as an aid
in preventive action may easily turn

into a damaging tool of prejudgor even unwitting prejudice.
Largely for this reason, the use
of intelligence tests as predictors
of the potential of very young,
underprivileged children has come
under severe attack. Such tests
have, in fact, been abandoned by
the city's schools.
The real value of the research
in delinquency prediction is not
in any "discovery" that conditions of neglect and slum-livin- g
breed delinquency hardly surprising news. Rather, it lies in the hope
that the studies will spark more
resolute action to eliminate these
roots of social disease.

a racist basis. The "Nordic" countries of northwestern Europe have
large immigration quotas, while the
Slavic and Latin countries of Eastern and Southern Europe have tiny
quotas. This is the
so-call- ed

"national origins quota" system
designed to preserve the racial
balance and implicitly the racial
"purity" then thought to exist
in this country. The quota system
was one ugly fruit of two generations of propaganda about race in
Europe and America.
Sharply improved scholarship in
ethnic history and in anthropology
in recent decades should have had
a chastening effect. But when Congress last confronted this problem,
it flunked the test. The McCarran-Walte- r
Immigration Act of 1952,
which was passed over President
Truman's veto, not only confirmed the racial quota system but introduced fresh anomalies and racist

theories into the law.
Thus it is that the United States
stands
before the
world for imposing severe restraints
on immigration by men and women
from Athens and Rome two of the
chief sources of glory and greatness in that Western civilization
Americans share and defend today.
The people who produced Plato,
Aristotle and Demosthenes are
limited to308 quota numbers a year.''
The people of Dante and Michelangelo are limited to 5,666. In this fashion the United States solemnly
counts and calibrates the potential
worth of all mankind. Is there not
something terribly arrogant and
also absurd in this selfrighteous
national posture?
President lohnson's proposal
would eliminate the racial quota
system and place admission to this
country basically on a
basis. It deserves enactment. It is time to rekindle that
lamp beside the golden door and
banish forever those shadows that
have dimmed its bright flame too

A FOREIGNER'S VIEW
By Siryoon Clion

Americanism: The Story Of A Grass Roots Visit

While I was hitchhiking dur
ing the Christmas vacation, a
young man picked me up, treated me to lunch, and asked, "I
don't understand why so many
foreigners are against us, do
you?"
The question is a puzzling one.
Americans are very hospitable
people to friends and strangers
alike. And yet many young nations often level bitter criticism
at Americanism.
Equally astonishing is the fact
that many foreign students turn
against America when they return
home. Americans
resent this.
These students are given scholarships to study at state universities,
by American
citizens.
This tragedy seems to come

from the fact that most foreign
students go home without really
knowing America. If they knew,
then they didn't feel it. For true
Americanism is fireside friendliness, and the only place where
you learn and feel it is an American home.
I traveled 1,200 miles
during
the holidays. At Covington my

host, an Episcopalian minister,

let his daughters mix
up with a
pagan. A family in Shelbyville
gave me a surprise birthday party
one week in advance, for they

thought they should do something other than feeding me with
the
turkey.
I visited my roommates at
Owensboro, a city having nothing to boast but a sassafras tree.
But it had folks. My roommates'
left-ov-

er

mothers apparently mistook me
for their own son, and I had
a hard time in refusing all the
devil's food they offered. Then
I went out to tease a UK coed,
and another shower of goodies!
