Blackout Hits Dorms
Electric power failures plagued University residence halls
for more than 15 houis Sunday
and Monday, plunging the units
into darkness.
University officials reacted
quickly anil provided emergency
lighting, but a solution to the
overall problem still has not been
made.
Sunday's failure was blamed
on worn underground power lines
between Rose Street and Fraternity Row. Lights were out from
1:27 p.m. Sunday until nearly
3 a.m. Monday in Donovan Hall,
the Huguelet Avenue side of fraternity row, and part of the
agriculture complex.
The same units, the rest of
fraternity row, Haggin Hall, and

Cooperstown were hit by Monday
night's failure, which lasted less
than an hour.
The cause of the last blackout
has not been released.
Explanations as to why it took
so long to restore power Sunday
are unclear, but apparently University officials were unsure just

Another Baby Boom Coming?

Whether they know it or not,
seven million American girls have
it within their power to set a
new marriage and fertility vogue
that could significantly alter this
country's future.
These young women are now
approaching the peak marriage
years, 18 to 21.
Between now and 1970, their
decisions regarding marriage and
family size will indicate if a new
and massive baby boom is imminent. They, themselves are the
result of the postwar baby boom,
and their vast, unprecedented
numbers mark a new high in the
U.S. fertility potential.
Five years ago, there were
only 4.7 million girls between
the ages of 18 and 21 years.
Today there are six million such
females and there will be seven
million by 1968.
When the sizable groups of
potential mothers now under 20
g
years move into the main
ages, 20 to 29 years,
this group will number
more by 1970 than the 12.5 million
today.
There will be six million more
potential mothers in the total
group (women ages 14 to 44 years)
than there were in 1960 and three
million more than the 38 million
today.
According to an analysis released by the Population Reference Bureau, the future size
of the U.S. population will be
determined by the marriage and
fertility patterns chosen by this
upcoming surge of brides and
mothers.
Younger and Younger
For the first decade of the
postwar period, early marriage
were
and early motherhood
fashionable. The most frequent
marrying age for brides became
18 years and, on the average,
of all
girls
were married.
Once wed, young brides
tended to have babies sooner.
For instance, in 1961 one-ha- lf
of all mothers were 21.4 years
at the birth of their first child,
compared to the 1940 figure of
23 years. The second and third
child also appeared earlier.
This advance of births has
resulted in a concentration of
family formation at younger ages.
Consequently, the average American wife has been having her
last child while still in her
twenties, after having had from
two to four children.
Focus on
Between I960 and 1970 there
will be a 40 percent increase
(from 11.1 miljion to 15.4 million
child-bearin-

one-four- th

many more women in the prime
childbearing years, even fewer
babies per woman could produce
a minor baby boom.
But if these young mothers-to-b- e
choose the "cne-to-thrchild" family, then the shock-wavhitting the schools and
other vital areas will be less
devastating. And the prospect of
300 rather than 400 million Americans in 2005 will be the more
likely one.
Fcritlity Sets the Stage
"Somewhere within this wide
range of fertility possibilities lies
the answer to the trend of population growth during the next
generation. There is an element
of mystery as to which factors
will determine the fertility of
those 20 million key women,"
said Robert C. Cook, President
Reference
of the Population
Bureau.
"The U.S. birth rate (21.6
births per 1,000 population) is
definitely a controlled birth rate.
Its level is not determined by
the availability or adequacy of
contraceptives. The birth rate
e
reached an
low of 18
in the mid-- 1 930's when the contraceptive art was far less advanced. Its fluctuations since
then have been due to the attitudes and decisions of the
age
couples in the
groups. The shift from the two-o- r
three-chil- d
'ideal family' of a
generation ago to the three- - or
four-chil- d
ideal of the 1950's was
a matter of millions of individual decisions influenced strongly
by popular attitudes."
U.S. fertility analysts indicate
that the current downward shift
in the fertility pattern since 1957
could be due to a change in the
timing of births. Young couples,
particularly the youngest ones
(18 to 24 years), are planning for

in the number of women in the
prime childbearing ages, 20 to 29.
By 19S0 the 20 to
will nearly double to a count
of 20 million.
For the past 30 years the
number of American women aged
20 to 29 has stood at 10 to 12
million. Although the physical
capacity of this group to reproduce has not changed very
much, the fertility (actual number
of children born) has fluctuated
from a low during the depression in the 1930's to a peak
in 1957.
The fertility rate (live births
was
per 1,000 women ages
75.8 in 1936 and 122.9 in 1957.
Since 1957 there has been a
steady downward trend to 105.6
in 1964. During the first three
months of 1965, the rate was 99.
As the increased number of
prime fertile women (ages 20 to
29) start having babies, will tbey
choose the higher fertility of the
1950's or follow through with the
lower fertility rates of the early
15-4-

19G0's?

With such an enormous
increase of potential brides and
mothers, the number of children
desired by these women becomes
of crucial importance.
If they choose the
family the fashion
set in the 1950's then the nation
is in for a baby boom of unprecedented magnitude. Such a
rate during the late
1960's and the decade of the 1970' s
could result in a total U.S.
population of nearly 400 million
by 2005. The U.S. population
today is close to 195 million.
If, on the other hand, the
brides-to-b- e
follow a trend toward fewer babies, the potential
of the baby harvest would be
considerably diminished. With so

more of their children to come
somewhat later in married life.
This change from the shorter
birth intervals of the 1950's to
longer ones implies not only a
postponement of births, but possibly marks the first step toward
downward fertility expectations.
This trend could lead to a continuance of the present lower
fertility levels and smaller family
size.
"What motivated this shift,"
Cook pointed out, "is mainly a
matter of conjecture. It is unquestionably related to a recognition on the part of the young
people who have embarked on
matrimony in recent years that
rearing children and educating
them, especially through college,
is an expensive undertaking. An
important factor may be an
awareness of the problems which
the parents of four children even
of three children have encountered.
"At the present death rate in
the United States, an average of
2.2 children per woman is necessary to maintain a stationary
population. An average of three
children per woman means increasing the population by about
50 percent in each generation.
"The decisions of this year's
brides and of the brides in the
years just ahead will determine
the rate of population growth for
the United States as a whole."

Communists
And The Court
Communist Party spokesman
Gus Hall is wasting no time now
that a unanimous Supreme Court
has agreed that registration of Communist Party members under the
1950 subversive activities control
law is unconstitutional.
He says the party will press its
drive to get Communists on ballots.
He promises that within a month
the party will publish the Communists' program for America.
Many will criticize the Court
for seeming Communist Party. But
they should be glad to encourage
the stepped-u- p activity of the Court
is looking after individual liberties.
The Court's reasoning was clear.
Once individuals registered with
the federal government as Communist Party members, they could
promptly be prosecuted for violation of the Smith Act and of another
section of the Communist Control
Act. This, the Court ruled, is forced
and hence un-

constitutional.

He has, however, shown intense
courage in the past, a courage we
don't think has been diluted by
base attacks and threats.
We would hate to speculate on
Mr. Flowers' chances of winning
in Alabama. His candidacy, however, would provide a voice for those
of the liberal persuasion in Ala-

bama, allowing them to show their
strength before the nation.
Such opportunities are rare
within the confines of the Confederacy.
More and more Southern states
have overthrown the outspoken segregationists in recent elections.

Freeman Replies
I regret more than anyone the
decision of the Kernel to publish
first of all a mish-mas- h
of "beefs"
as a petition. It was even with-

drawn and thus repudiated by the
students themselves. When I was
interviewed by your reporter I went
over the unsigned document with
him point by point to explain why
it would be unwise from every
point of view to the instructors
involved, the Department of Art,
the students, and the Kernel. Each
would be hurt to a greater or lesser
degree by the publication of an
n,

so-call-

petition which the students themselves had not debated nor voted on.

Reply To Davis
Mr. Hank Davis (Nov. 24) admonishes the Kernel for expressing
an opinion ' with no facts given
in support". He then develops his
own opinion based upon the fact
that "U Thant has an understanding of global affairs which is
slightly superior to a three year

old."

The purpose of going to college
is to learn, and maybe Hank Davis
can learn something from this
experience. Before he writes, he
should thinkabout what he is trying
to accomplish. In trying to win the
commitment of the undecided, he
should take a rational approach,
and base his arguments upon facts,
or at least
upon reasonable
opinion. His statement concerning
Mr. Thant can only harm his cause,
because everyone recognizes that it
is not true.

Asst. Professor of Zoology

Bradshaw's New Contract
Unique Among Coaches

Head football coach Charlie
Bradshaw was retained at the
University for at least the next
four years. Actually, the new contract given the Wildcats coach
could last for 25 years-un- til
Bradshaw is at the retirement age.
Bradshaw and the Athletics
Association Board announced
terms of the contract after a more
than three hour conference Thursday, Thanksgiving Day.
The contract guarantees that
Bradshaw may stay at the University, although not necessarily
as head football coach until he
reaches 65.
The contract commits Bradshaw for the same period as the
one he signed when he replaced
Blanton Collier as coach in 1961.
But the contract as described
in a prepared statement issued by
the Athletics Board after the
meeting, gives the coach and his
staff the same employment
retirement
benefits,
security
status and responsibilities which
are given to other UK staff
members.
The statement:
"The Athletics Association is
proud to announce that Charles
Bradshaw will continue as head
football coach at the University of
Kentucky. Mr. Bradshaw has not
only committed himself for the
next four years but he has embarked upon an employment relationship with the University
which may be unique in the U.S.
and which may become a model
for the coaching profession."
The statement continued:
"In general this relationship
provides the coaches the same
employment security, the same
retirement benefits, the same
status and the
