This year's YMCA sponsored service project to South America

advisor.

The warm weather of the past
three days has broken all previous local records.
Sunday, the high was 68 degrees, which broke the record of
67 degrees in 1909. Tuesday's
high was forecast for 69 which
excels the 1943 record of 68 degrees. The weather is due mostly
to Southernly winds from the
Gulf region, and will continue
through this week. Tuesday's
temperature will be eight to
twelve degrees above normal. It
will be cooler by the middle of
the week and warmer again
around Friday.
Showers are predicted through
and on the weekend.

"Usually the programs of this

sort are coordinated through the
national YMCA; however, this
year, we have decided to do it

onour own," he said.

This summer's
trip to
Bogota, Colombia will be the
third year the University has sent
students. In the summer of 1965,
students went to Bogota, and last
year six students spent the summer in Quito, Ecuador.
"Since we already had contacts in Bogota, we will be able
to send the studentsonourown,"
Dalton reported. "This has allowed us to cut cost per student
about $100," he said.

Nursing Shortage Has Left Scars
ByJOHNZEII

Kernel Associate Editor
The nursing shortage has left its scars
througliout the nation.
Hospital wings are closed. Nurses often

hours when other nurses get sick. Patients

turned away.
Nurses' work loads are so great that high
quality patient care cannot possibly be given.
There is general inefficiency. "I seldom see
a nurse," one patient complains, feeling the
slwrtage as a real, physical and psychological
deprivation.
"For the psychiatricpatient," whoseneed
is not only for the tranquilizer but for the
knowledge that the person giving it cares
about him, this is tantamount to w ithttolding
seeking elective

medication," one observer wrote recently
in The Nation.
A similar shortage of attention and sympathy exists in most liospitals and is felt
by nearly every patient.
The American Nurses Association's latest
figures show some 621,000 registered nurses
employed in this country, at least a quarter
of a million less than government advisers
say are needed. The deficit could be erased
if even half the inactive nurses could be
induced to return, the U.S. Public Health
Service estimates.
By 1970, the U.S. Surgeon Ceneral's Office predicts, 850,000 nurses will be necessary
for "safe, therapeutically effective and efficient nursing service." That would mean
a 75 percent annual increase, which the
office's report concedes is not feasible. It
said the nation will have to settle for 68,000
HNs. Both figures are now considered conservative estimates since Medicare was put
into effect after the PJ62 study.

Dr. William R Willard, vice president
for the Medical Center, was a member of the
surgeon general's consultant group. Today,
he realizes that the "gap betw een the supply

and demand continues," but thinks that
progress has been made. "But this is a long
range problem. It will not be settled in five
years. We'll be lucky if it is solved within

The Vietnam war has aggravated the
nursing crisis in stateside army liospitals.
With some 400 nurses serving in Vietnam
and hundred others caring for wounded veterans, the Army could use at least 3,000 more
nurses. There is no shortage in Southeast
Asia, though, according to Col. Mildred
Clark, Army Nurse Corps commander. Vietnam has top priority in nurse assignments,
"but we have been for ceil to really shortchange liospitals in the U.S. and elsewhere,"
she told the New York Times.

Using primitive tools Kenneth Campbell shapes the
seeds of an idea into the culmination of the work of
a hammer and chisel. The shape of each piece is dictated
by the etchings of his tools "The hands know more
than the eye they are quicker than the eye."
His sculptures are conceptualizations of ideas. They
are not pfojections of a preconceived notion. Campbell
feels that if he were to have a complete mental picture
of a planned piece, and know all the techniques he

would employ in developing it, then there would be
no need to sculpt. The sculpture would become an

afterthought.
Campbell, a resident sculpture instructor, says, "An
artist must learn when something exists and doesn't
exist. Art must be exact; approximation is not worth
anything. A piece has to have something particular
about it, something unique to mark it as art.
His exhibition, "Stone on Stone," will be shown
through February 19 at the Fine Arts Gallery.

"Students have told me,"
Kalich said, "that substitution

Other student groups represtusenting coeds,

discussion and launched
campaigns to protest the

"There is no rationale to

student newspaper, The Daily

anticipated every year in appropriation battles w ith the state

other programs."
As of last week, the university had made no decision on a
replacement for the federal program. It said that student protests would probably be considered and alternative plans
mapped out at a February trustees meeting.

Capt. Nina West, an Army

increased her efforts, since it is
expected 8,000 more nurses will
be needed by summer. The first
draft of male nurses in the country's history was necessary last
April. Navy and Air Force nurse
corps also report shortages, but
not as great as the Army's.
There is also an increasing
demand for nurses in nursing
homes, industries, local public
health agencies and schools.
Medicare and new, privatehealth
plans have added to the burden.
The number of nurses is growing too slowly to meet all these
needs because a smaller percentage of high school graduates have
been entering the field every year
this decade, according to the

Problem Of Distribulion
Take a look at any highway
atlas, and it becomes immediately
apparent that Kentucky, but a short
time ago known for its poorly
paved, winding roads, has one of
the more impressively complimentary systems of parkway and Interstate expressways in the nation.
Gov. Breathitt announced just
last week that 1966 was the

Commonwealth's "greatest year"
in highway construction, with Kentucky second only to Texas in the
number of miles put under contract.
Yet, as these expressways, some
of which have won awards for
their beauty, open up isolated sections of the state, many problems
develop, not only in the construction of the superhighways but for
the cities which they connect.

President Johnson has finally
decided that America cannot have
both guns and butter, and has
curbed domestic spending. Unfortunately, a portion of this cutback applies to the highway program, despite the overcrowded conditions and soaring death rates on
our roadways.

Breathitt noted that in Kentucky "the start of construction
on some federal-ai- d
(highway) prowill have to be deferred unjects
til after July 1, and hopefully no
longer. With Congress in session,
the pressure has begun for restoration of the funds as soon as possi-

ble."
Last week the governor wrote
U.S. Secretary of Transportation
Alan S. Boyd asking that the freeze
be lifted on some $30 million of
federal-ai- d
funds for Kentucky highways. In November, the Kentucky
Department of Highways was notified by the U.S. Bureau of Public
Roads that federal aid highway
funds available to Kentucky from

the Highway Trust Fund for the
1966-6- 7
fiscal year would be limited to $64,595,000.
Even if the money is not frozen
after July 1, much of the damage
will be done. Because the Department of Highways cannot be assured of the amount of federal
grants after that date, "this has
the effect of deferring the letting
of contracts in excess of the designated sum during the same fiscal
period, "Highway Commissioner
Mitchell W. Tinder has said.
Kentucky's major highway co-

nstructionin the form of parkways
and Interstates should be Hearing
completion by the end of 1968,
provided federal funds are not drastically cut. We think it will then
be time for the Commonwealth to
focus its attention on the cities.

With the state trying to stretch
every highway dollar, it is ignoring
the cities where roadway construction is concerned. The federal government has matching funds of
for road construction in
only 0
not nearly as attractive as
cities,
the 0 or 0 matching funds
allowed on other types of roadways already described. Lexington
is an example of just how bad
the problem can get. This city
is still using virtually the same
arterial streets it had in 1830, and
although there are now 250,000
vehicles making trips daily in and
out of Lexington a figure which
may double by 1980 there is little
chance of improvement unless the
state changes its attitude.

Traffic
Lexington
Engineer
M. Heidenreich has offered
Joseph
two sound suggestions which we
endorse. First of all, federal matching funds, on a percentage basis,
need to be increased considerably.
Secondly, the city should have some
way to tax motorists.
It is this second suggestion that
is particularly complex. The state
and federal government have preempted the city's ability to tax
motorists, because it is against
the law for the city to reserve a
portion of the gasoline tax. This
is not true in all states, but as a
result streets used by the general
public (as opposed to suburban
residents), such as Maxwell and
High, must be improved with
money from the general fund, which
is used for many other purposes.
A general tax increase would
not be fair, because all taxpayers
do not use the streets. But Heidenreich thinks the state should give
back to the city a certain percentage of the gasoline tax so as
to enable the city to finance bonds
to build new roads just as the state
does. The amount of return from
the gasoline tax could be determined by the area and population of the city.
So as to have the most modern
automobile transportation system
possible in the Commonwealth, it

evident, then, that three separate actions must be taken:
Federal cutbacks in the highis

way program must be abolished;
Federal funds for road construction within cities must be
raised on a percentage basis, imarrangeproving the present
ment;
The Commonwealth must
provide some means of finance to
the cities in addition to their own
general funds to allow the cities
to finance their own road construction bond issues. We think
the best way of doing this is to
allow cities some proportionate return on gasoline taxes.

Letters To The Editor

Physical Plant Division Defended
To the Editor of the Kernel:
As a student and also as an
employee of a division of the University, I sometimes find the inaccuracy of the Kernel very disturbing. I would like to lodge a
correction to many past errors and
probably many future errors that
have or will pop up in the Kernel.
In the past it has been the usual
practice for the Kernel to blame any
disturbance of the physical status
quo of the campus on the "Maintenance and Operations Department." This had included varied
matters such as the placing of sidewalks, trucks on the sidewalks,
planting of grass in footpaths and
the destruction of sidewalks in order
to make repairs.
AHEM! In the first place, the

"Maintenance and Operations Department" has been
since July 1, 1965. It was replaced
in a system of modernization, by
the Physical Plant Division, the
present nomenclature for the Division which operates and maintains
the physical plant of the Univernon-exista-

nt

sity.
Also, it is not always this division which is in charge of many
things of which the Kernel blames
it for being negligent. Sidewalks
are not planned by the Physical
Plant Division (PPD), nor are new
sidewalks often built by this division. Planning is done by another division and sidewalks are
usually built by private contractors. If we are going to talk about
digging up the campus, let's call
a spade a spade.

Mr. Kimmins was referring to

fully missed. To my knowledge, this
was the first time the concert was
mentioned in the Kernel.
Many students read the Kernel
especially to learn of important
campus events, such as the Concert and Lecture Series programs.
Since the paper is released in the
evening, many students do not receive a copy until the next morningfrequently after the event has
been held.
Since the Kernel is allegedly
the campus newspaper for the students, I feel that the students would
be better served if the Kernel were
to publish articles concerning forthcoming events at least a day or
two previous to the date of the
event.

about how far if at all scholars

is challenged, jeopardized or tainted.
This is the broader controversy that has emerged from
newspaper reports that the institute, which is endowed by $3

That any or all of the Kennedys can prevcrt Harvard to political usage is discounted by Harvard professors with such comments as:

"It might be easier to get
control of the government than
of Harvard." or: "Harvard was
here before the government."
The director of the institute,
Prof. Richard E. Neustadt says:
"There is real concern, and I
certainly share it, that the questions we pursue as matters of
serious intellectual curiosity to
the faculty do not put the faculty on call or contract

leaned over backward not to interfere with the institute."

of the little more than a dozen
faculty associates of the institute. "It is proper to consider
the question whether Harvard has
the resilience and diversity to
resist being overwhelmed by preoccupation with politics. I think
it has. I think the institute will
be good and healthy. A few million dollars are not likely to
takeover Harvard."
The institute has become the
because of such
cause of its structure. Opened
last October, it is part of the
equally new John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government.
The main purposes of the institute are to break down barriers between federal bureaucracy
and academic seclusion and eventually create an important intellectual reservoir to be used by
al

future presidents, governors or
mayors.

To do this, ten fellows, with
knowledge of government operations, have already been brought
to the institute to
their practical expertise with the
theoretical learning of academic
cross-fertiliz-

e

sages.

In selecting fellows for the institute that it is hoped will some
day be a research arm for the
Kennedy School, Prof. Neustadt
says he has sought "men who
pursue double careers, with one
foot in the private sector, the
other in public life."
As part of this experiment,
the university is also enabling
undergraduates to supplement
classroom and text book information with intensivequestioningof
men who have been on the inside of government.

To be certain the experiment
not subjected to the usual
pressures, none of this work is
for a degree and no books need
be written, though some of tin;
fellows hope to be using their
year here to write.
Since the future site of the
institute is still a carbarn near
the Charles River, the animated
discussions and interrogations;
the study and inquiry may be
found in many places around and
beyond Harvard Yard, where bicycles nuzzle foreign cars.
In
offices, in tiny
r
cubicles behind the stacks of
Library, in the
rooms of a former hotel,
coffee pots bubble as academicians and government experts
question one another on such subjects as the possibility of permanent price control.

The period between 1890 and

and develop in many ways. The

age of
capitalist industry's rapid expansion was
heading for a climax. Immigrants

of business-mindewas growing. America's attention
began to turn outward as the
internal wounds of the Civil War
became less painful.
Like the chameleon it has
always been, the American system of education, too, changed
its appearance. No longer could
colleges turn out
polished "gentlemen" and ministers. New ingredients a torch
of energetic, practical American
business spirit, a pinch of traditional Bristish snuff, and a dose
of the new scholarship from Germanyall found their way into
the bubbling pot of American
higher education. Different men
combined them in different proportions during the early stages
of experimentation before the
cookbooks were standardized.
