By CARL WEST
Kernel Staff Writer
Over 1,400 University students, faculty and staff signed a
petition Wednesday supporting
American forces in Vietnam, on
the first of a three-da- y
program
staged by Students for Victory
in Vietnam.

The statement of support read:
"We, the undersigned students, staff and faculty at the
University of Kentucky, desire to
express our support of our fighting forces in Vietnam.
"We support the proposition
that victory is attainable and
that unity at home and in the
field, will facilitate this end."
Michael Schrocder, president
of the Cooperstown Council
which sponsors the group, said,
"Most of the students and faculty
who came by were eager to sign'
"We hope to get a minimum
of 4,000 signatures by Friday,"
he added.
Schroeder said the statement
would be sent to President
Lyndon B.Johnson and Kentucky
Senators John Sherman Cooper
and Thurston B. Morton.
Cov. Edward T. Breathitt was
the first to sign the statement,
which was presented to him
Monday at Frankfort by a student delegation representing the
group.
As part of the program, films

Letters To The Editor

Kingsbury Appointment
Denounced By Reader

To The Editor:
Now that the Kentucky Better
Roads has finished promoting the
bond issue, the executive director
of the group, Gilbert Kingsbury',
is out of a job. Judging from a
recent Kernel article, the University administration has knuckled
under to Cov. Ned Breathitt and
promised to find something for
Kingsbury to do at U.K.

A former troubleshooter for two
Democratic senators, Kingsbury
has a long record as a political
hack. In 1964 he drew five months'
pay from the state Highway Department for the express purpose
of "visiting every' district highway
office in Kentucky and most of the
district garages," according to
Commissioner Henry Ward. Then,
coincidental! y, Kingsbury left his
public training ground to promote
the bond issue.

The Univ ersity now is in a bind,
since it has no jobs available that
Kingsbury- could fill. The Kernel
article speculated that a new position, for "University relations,"
might be created for him.

Praise For YAF
To The Editor:

In one of your recent editorials you praised the Students for
a Democratic Society for the work
they are doing. Some work!
You also said that you had long
wished a student political organization would become active on
campus.
This is not fair to the other
campus organizations, especially
the Young Americans for Freedom.
They are one of the country's most
patriotic organizations. In comparison the SDS is a poor example
of Americans.
The Young Americans for Freedom are willing to fight for their
country and in the armed forces
if necessary'. They support our
President, the principle of haircuts
and shaving, neat clothes, and daily
bathing.

Beside these, Students for Democratic Society are a sorry group
indeed.
I would think that if
you were
going to praise anyone it would
be some group like the YAF inThe University cannot afford to

Faculty To Judge Academic Plan
New Proposals Represent First Plan
For Academic Growth In 101 Years
By FRANK BROWNING
Assistant Managing Editor
By next September the University may
have undergone the most extensive acag
demic
of its
history.
The source of the large-scal- e
remodeling of UK Academia is a volume of
faculty reports and recommendations
which were transformed into a
document, "Beginning A Second Century,
The University of Kentucky Academic
Program: Curricula, Policies and Organiface-liftin-

x

101-ye-

182-pa-

zation."

The final document was the work of
special writing committee and was
by the University Senate
approved
Council.
Reports were compiled and modified by
the Council, which did some of its own
investigative research consulting other universities, scholars, and instructors, and
presented its recommendations toward
solving some of the education problems
facing Kentucky.
"The kinds of things an educated person
ought to have guided the Council," Dr.
Edward Pellegrino, chairman, said. He
said that every student should get a firm
foundation in the basic disciplines.
"Furthermore, we felt a depth of things
outside his major were more important
than a general smattering of knowledge."
Referring to the suggestion of initiating
eight basic areas, Dr. Pellegrino said the
council made "an actual study of specific
curricula taken by students in various
parts of the University."
The committee found, he said, three
common characteristics:
1. There was very little work done
above the 200 level outside the major.
2. Students often made too wide a
selection of courses indicating lack of
plan in general education.
3. Few sequences in depth in general
studies courses appeared.
Structure of the general studies component (one of four necessary for the
baccalaureate degree) would allow advanced upper division courses to be taken
to fulfill requirements in the five basic
disciplines in the new program. Such a
program would allow students more
latitude in selection of courses to fill
the requirements.
No introductory professional courses
can be accepted as part of the first component, Dr. Lewis Cochran, University
Provost said. These courses would be
requirements, he said.

More Uniform Standards
Recommended By Faculty
For UK Undergraduates
By JUDY CRISHAM

Associate News Editor
In President John VV. Oswald's attempt
to begin the University's second century
with an "academic plan for the University's use in the years ahead," the Faculty
Senate has been presented with 20 recommendations for consideration.
One of the major recommendations
outlined in a booklet presented to the
Senate Council is a uniform baccalaureate
degree program.
Under this plan, every entering freshman, beginning with the fall semester,
1966, would be enrolled in the College of
Arts and Sciences. Formal transfer to a
professional college would be made at
the beginning of the junior year.
The degree program would include
or preprofes-siona- l,
general studies,
major or professional, and free
elective divisions.
Two semesters of English composition
would be required as well as a program
consisting of at least five of the following
eight areas: (1) Mathematics-Philosoph(2) Physical Science, (3) Biological Sciences, (4) Foreign Language, (3) Humanities, (6) History, (7) Social Studies, (8) Behavioral Sciences.
Credit in Mathematics 111 and 112,
college algebra and trigononometery,
would not be counted toward degree
requirements and all students having a
foreign language in high school would be
required to take a placement test to determine the course level they would enter.
All students applying for elementary
and Junior high school teachingcertificates
will be required to enroll at the junior
level in the College of Education under the
new Jlan. Students applyingibr secondary
teaching certificates, may as at present, get
degrees from other colleges.
It also recommended four academic
officers, responsible to the president, be
established, and the present responsibilities of the University Senate CurriculJm
be absorbed by councils
Committee
headed by these officers.
The four officers would be a dean of
the Craduate School, a Provost, a vice
a
president of the Medical Center, and
pre-maj-

or

y,

dean of the Community College system.
The Provost would be responsible for
academic programs in the Colleges of
Agriculture and Home Economics, Arts
and Science, Commerce, Education,
Engineering, Law, Pharmacy, Nursing
and the School of Architecture. The vice
president of the Medical Center would
have overall responsibility of the Colleges
of Medicine, Dentistry, and for Pharmacy
(if transferred to the Medical Center).
Under the proposal, new departments,
schools, and colleges would be established
by action of the Board of Trustees upon
recommendation of the president and new
courses and programs, after investigation
and debate in the Senate, would be
recommended by the Senate to be
approved by the Trustees.

receive preparation for more specialized
technical training was the charge given
the Council, explained Dr. Pellegrino.
Dr. Pellegrino outlined three duties
given the Senate Council:
1. That it accept the charge by President John Oswald to study the curriculum
and especially to recommend an adequate
lower division program.
2. That it attempt to take college and
committee reports and from these discover some common problems and
solutions.
3. That it study the effectiveness of a
Ceneral College and its alternatives for
the University.
Under the general college system, as
it is instituted at the universities of Florida, Iowa, and Boston, the entering freshman is enrolled in a University college
having its own faculty and administration.
After his sophomore year, each student
transfers to his respective college to declare a major.
"We decided it would be better for
the University of Kentucky to deal within
the framework of what we have in the Arts
and Sciences College," Dr. Pellegrino
continued.
In universities where the general college
is in use, Dr. Pellegrino said the council
noted a tendency for segregation of two
separate faculties. An effect of such a
system might be that scholars in the
professional or major fields would be
isolated from students during their first
two years.
Under the plan as proposed by the
Council, basic requirements to be met
in five of eight subject areas may be
fulfilled over the entire four-yeprogram,
although students will be enrolled in
Arts and Sciences for only the first two
years unless they choose to remain there.
The program is designed to allow re--'
courses to be taken along
quired
with some basic studies.
With the general college system, the
general studies program would fill the
entire freshman and sophomore years,
leaving the last two years for both
and major requirements.
"This should not increase the time
required for graduation in any of the
existing programs," Dr. Lewis Cochran
explained. He went on to say there should
be some improvement for students transferring colleges before the junior year.
"To change educational goals would
mean only changing advisors, and thus
students would not really switch colleges

Plan Began With Oswald Charge
President John Oswald presented his
formal 'charge to the Faculty Council
Oct. 7, 1964 to undertake "the responsibilities during the coming year as
prescribed in the academic analysis,
"Beginning a Second Century."

The presidential charge might be
called the climax to a program begun
in 1950 with the appointment of the
Committee of Fifteen.
Chaired by Dr. T. Dt Clark, the committee studied many of the University's
problems and presented reports on the
community college system, a term appointment system for department heads,
and establishment of an undergraduate
library.
Although not all recommendations
made in the committee's report have been
carried out, s
