Here Is A Story You Just Might Enjoy
By TOM BOWDEN
Kernel Staff Writer
There's a story Bill Jansen likes to tell about the
Evil Eye. It seems that although the superstition is not
too common in America, fear of the Evil Eye is widespread in many Asian and Mediterranean countries.
Anyway, an Indonesian friend was visitingDr. Jansen
in Texas at about the time of a big University of Texas
football gan. One day the visitor exclaimed, "Do you
biow what they do to wish your team luck? They do
this!" and lie formed the sign of the Texas Longhorns

Dr. William Hugh Jansen, who has been a member
of the English faculty at UK for 20 years, has at his
fingertips a mass ofAmerican folklore material that would
turn the oldest and best Kentucky yarnspinner green.
In fact, as a newly elected (1964) member of the International Society for Folk Narrative Research, Dr. Jansen recently traveled to Bucharest, Rumania, to deliver

the Vietnam war. "There are so
many commenting on this subject
now that do not have all of the
facts on which to base their
positions, that I hesitate to answer. However, I do believe that
once we concede we will have to
yield elsewhere."
The news conference was
termed "the first of its kind,"
and was planned by the Department of Public Information at
Frankfort in conjunction with the
KETV staff. After the conference,
which was aired over the KETV
network, students were taken for

his scholarly paper entitled, "The Raison D'Etre of
Some American Local Legends" to the society.
Most Tales Local
"Most folk tales," he says, "tell about the single
exploits and witticisms or stupidity of a named person,
such as a football coach or a governor."
"Often," he adds, "the subjects of stories are famous
only in their own localities."
Using about 50 stories gleaned from businessmen,
teachers, laborers and housewives, the paper which Dr.

"to prove that the narrative instinct is surprisingly active,
even today."
Of the examples in the paper, he notes that about
one half are true, ten are not true, and the rest are
borderline cases. "However," he adds, "about 99 percent of the listeners believe the stories, and 90 percent
of the tellers believe them."
The history involved in folklore holds a special charm
for Dr. Jansen, who notes that 200 of the S00 common

folk tales in existence today appear in Sanskrit, the
cient sacred language of India.

Cinderella's Slipper
He relates the strange case oftlte legend of Cinderella,
which he says appears in many countries and cultures.
The legendary slipper, in the French version, was made
of fur, "fourrer." In translation to illiterate Englishmen, however, "fourrer" became "verre," meaning
glass and thus the crystal slipper of American folklore.
Dr. Jansen's knowledge of his field does not go unnoticed or unrewarded. The author of more than 30
published articles and 50 scholarly reviews, Dr. Jansen
has been published "just about all over the world."
The society to which he presented his paper meets

Life Of Siriono Indian

Somehow, as I attempt to

evident that the very concept of
a review, as such, of this film
is totally absurd. Methods and
devices of comparison and description are irrelevant. Even a

OF THE LONG BOW: by Allan R. Holmber, The
Natural History Press
Here are an anthropologist's observations on a nomadic Indian
tribe of eastern Bolivia, whose culture resembles that of Stone Age
man. Originally a doctoral thesis at Yale, the late Dr. Holmberg's
work covers studies made during
six months of which
were spent in an aboriginal setting.
The life of the Siriono Indian centers around his stomach.
Hunger is commonplace. Although most of the men are skilled
hunters with the traditional long bow, securing of game is not
assured, especially during periods of rain.
Ignorance, both of agriculture and of food preservation, also
plays a role in the insecurities of the food supply.
Diet consists of wild game, wild fruits, palm cabbage, nuts and
honey; some maize, sweet manioc and papaya are cultivated in
small gardens.
Sex is one drive that never seems frustrated in the life of the
Siriono. Great sexual freedoms are allowed both the male and female;
any Siriono may have relations with any "potential" spouse regardless of marital status. And, while a great ceremony accompanies
the attainment of a female's puberty, there is no marriage ceremony
except for the appearance of the husband's hammock at a position
next to the family hearth of his new wife.
The greatest status is adulthood, celebrated with a bloodletting
ceremony given to an Indian who has produced children. The arms
are scarred in the ceremony
which is followed by a
drinking feast. A beer is made of wild honey and maize. Males and
females both attend the bloodletting ceremony, but usually attend
separate drinking feasts.
Other drinking feasts are held, but are due to the scarcity of
honey. They are a means for these unwarlike people to release any
hostilities through much singing and some wrestling. Tobacco,
which was introduced by white men, is smoked and plays a large
part in inducing intoxication.

discover a closeness, an identity of purpose and viewpoint

Most of their other adventures

Not only do Hopper and Fonda star in "Easy Rider," they
also wrote it (with Terry Southern), directed it, and produced
it. The over all effect that Hopper and Fonda produce is flawless. Everything is excellent, and
it all fits together.

TRF: An Evaluation
As

the first month of the school

year passes we pause to briefly
evaluate the performance of Student Government President Tim
R. Futrell. In spite of many commendable efforts, we cannot give
Futrell a favorable mark.
In many aspects of his job,
Futrell has done admirably. As no
SG president in recent history, Futrell has contributed a great deal
!o? depth to the office. His proposals for student involvement, although they fall short in places,
exemplify such thought. The significance which the SG Assembly
should have for the student body
has also shown Futrell's awareness of some of the basic problems
his office faces. No one is better
aware than Futrell of the position
to which the Assembly has fallen.
Futrell seems to be working, usually outside the public's eye, to improve this image of failure.

Futrell is probably the best organized of all men who have held
the office. His insistence that there
be ample manpower and talent
available to solve student problems
is obvious. The presidential cab-

inet, whose size makes it a SG
first, has been charged with the
many tasks Futrell is expected to
do himself, but for which no individual has sufficient time. With
ample budget, sufficient secretarial
help and numerous workers, the
Futrell administration will probably be the most thoroughly administrated administration ever to
occupy the office.
Although Futrell has been successful in his handling of the long
range issues which face the student
body, he has handled poorly many
other areas of student concern.

J

On such issues as the Free University Futrell has taken stands that
are completely incompatible with
the attitudes of most thoughtful UK
students. Many students rank Futrell's action on the Student Code
issue with the Free U matter in
their accusations that he lacks the
fortitude to stand strongly in the
face of forceful opposition to attitudes he and most students hold.
If Futrell initially believed what
his final actions indicated, there
is no grounds for criticism. If, however, he ment to take the easy
course instead of the just one, as
seems to have been the case, an
unpardonable offense has been com-

mitted.
Futrell should also be taken
strongly to task for his treatment
of campus activists. It often seems
our president

is slightly

out of

touch with today's world. Futrell
can obviously express himself well
to a group of clean-cu- t,
humble
underspoken students, but that simply is not the type of students who
are doing things on UK's campus
today. There are many students
who are more concerned about intellectual freedom than about this
year's homecoming parade. There
are many more who think the Free
U issue is of greater significance
than refrigerators in the dormitories. These are usually the students
who yell in order to be heard, who
rebel in order to be honest with
themselves. Whether the rebellion
is manifested in dress or thought,
they find it impossible to accept
what Futrell once spoke of as a
"moderate rebellion." Injustice has
been rampant too long to be attacked moderately, they reason.
While rejecting these students and
their approach, Futrell is also rejecting the substance upon which
their approach is based.
Given the foundation Futrell
has laid, we can only hope he
will be more successful in his actions regarding the pertinent issues facing today's scholar. The
hope remains that if, and when,
Futrell feels strongly enough about
an issue he will be able to advocate it ceaselessly, without regard
to possible personal
