A Job Well Done

;

If anyone had suggested two weeks ago that the Wildcats
viiotild win the NCAA Tournament he would have been declared out of his mind.
After a season which saw the boys have to fight for every
point they scored, the UK record was an unimpressive 19-But then came the Mideast Regional Coach Rupp's boys
b?an to show some real class. When they faced Xotrc Dame
in the regional final, the spark spread from the crowd to the
Poor and the Fighting Irish were completely routed. Kentucky
ail made it to the finals after three straight nnsucccssjtd tires.
fv In the semi-fina- l
game with Temple, it was this sheer determination and the Vocal support of the fans which carried
them through. The following night when they opposed Seattle
for the title the tension had built to such an intensity that the
audience was a wild, screaming mob.
':
Kentucky wanted this one bad and they weren't to be
denied. The fans, the coach and the team went all out . . .

and it paid off.
This marked the first time in several years that UK fans
didnt look as if they were bored.
Certainly, this must be the most rewarding of the four
championships captured by the University. Everyone seemed
to have a feeling of accomplishment.
It'll surely be a hard one to top and the team and Coach
Rupp and his staff are to be commended on their superb effort.

What Is Decent Literature?
The U.S. Supreme Court declared a New
York censorship law unconstitutional in a 19 IS
decision, saying it vilated the 14th Amend-

According to a report in the local papers,
the Lexington-Fayett- e
County Committee on
Juvenile Delinquency has changed its name
and "narrowed its scope'
The group is now known as the Citizens for
Decent Literature and wants to remove from
newsstands what it considers "indecent" lit-

ment.

The court said, "We recognize the importance of a state's police power to minimize the
incentives to crime, particularly in the field
of sanguinary or salacious publications with-thestimulation of juvenile delinquency. . . .
We do not accede to the appellee's suggestion
that the constitutional protection for a free
press applies only to the exposition of ideas.
The line between the informing and the entertaining is too illusive for the protection of that
basic right. What is one man's amusement,
teaches another's doctrine. Though we can
see nothing of any possible value to society ,
in these magazines, they areas much entitled
to the protection of free speech as the best of
literature."
Among the writers who contribute to the
magazines such as PIaboy, Dude, and Escapade are Hemingway, Faulkner, Steinbeck,

erature.

The aim of the group is an admirable one.
However, it might be wise to ask how they
propose io go about this ami who is to decide

what is "indecent" literature.
As a suggested way of getting rid of this
"indecent"' literature for good, it would seem
that no method coulcl top that of a judicial'
hearing which would decide whether the publications are indecent.
Published matter, according to the law
books, falls into one of three classes. The first
class is "not obscene as a matter of law" or
innocent. The second class is "questionable"
matter and for a jury to decide by trial. The
third class is clearly obscene as a matter of
the law. This class is a question of law for
the judge to decide and not some civic committee. The committee may, however, bring
action to get a judgment, and that should be
its function.
A couple of examples of how NOT to operate would be appropriate. The Watch and
.Ward Society of Boston was such a committee
as the local one. The president of that group
notified the booksellers that he or his committee had read a book and that in their opinion it violated the law. The committee then
stated that it 'took no responsibility for its
statement and would give no further advice.
In other words, it used the pressure method.
It worked until an issue of the American Mercury was banned. Editor 11. L. Mencken then
sued and the group's action was declared

'

Caldwell, and the like. And these magazines
are among those which the committee proposes to ban as contributing to juvenile delinquency.
Each of these authors has several books
available to the juveniles in public libraries
and some of them are probably read in class-worSo, take them off the stands and you've
accomplished nothing except to limit the
adult's right to a free choice. Pushed to extremes, this would mean local censorship of
anything the committee desires.
Something else the committee should keep
in mind is that it has no right to force its
wishes on the public because it doesn't represent the public.
As stated before, the committee's aim is a
good one . . . let's just hope it doesn't kill it
by becoming another pressuring censor group.

General education, as mentioned, is carried out in
schools with 1952 enrollments
and
of 12. 13, and 3.3 millions respectiTely. (The latter figure
is already much higher.) There are evening literacy
schools for adults. In the towns schools for working: youth
schools for

rural youth cover grades

or could not remain in the regular schools about 2 million people in alL
y
school is called a
The most typical
technicum. In 3500 such schools there are about 2 million pupils. Thev are entered normally at the end of the
7th year of school, but today about half have had 10 years
schooling. About 60 of these pupils have been completing the course. Technicians are extremely specialized to
deal with the most concrete and specific production operations. Much as it may be regretted officially, general
education courses take a back seat in these programs.
In the past no fees were charged in technirums and
of the students have stipends,
today about three-fourtis by competitive examination. A large proportntrance
tion of these students take their work by correspondence.
Such schools are financed directly by the particular industry they serye, thoutn supervised by the Ministry of
Education. A large part of the faculty are borrowed part-tim- e
from factories..
Most of these courses run three or four years, though
school graduates. The

Comparison of the type or quality of education in
different societies cannot be precise, and the Russian
situation is particularly difficult to explain. When the
govemracnV decided in the lata 1920's to undertake r.ril
industrialization, the most formidable obstacle lay in
the lack of trained manpower. Few people knew anything
about machines and they lacked the habits of orderly
production in large organizations. Such a moderate skill
as tractor driver was a mark of superiority. Because of
the decision to embrace everything within the master
economic plan, training of all kinds of craftsmen and
technicians became an elaborately developed program.
Innumerable schools were set up to train what came to
people with specific technibe called
skills learned alter completion cf common school but
cal
who lacked higher education.
In this country many such skills are learned as hob-ti(car repairing or radio construction or just in growing up (operating farm machinery). We tend also to expect that people will learn much of their skill on the job.
Oiven their haste to industrialize., the Russians could not
follow our plan. They could not allow youth to enjoy a
leisurely general education and then learn their jobs as
cate"they went along. Millions of this intermediate-skil- l
gory had to be trained In vocational schools. A Quick
glance at Russian education below the college level shows
the place of these training programs.

largest' number of technicum students enroll in wgtrteer-in- g.
closely followed by education. Medical schools are
numerous: they train "assistant doctors", something between our nurse and physician. Agricultural and
students are somewhat fewer. In addition a few
schools, train managers for industry, military sub-- f fleers,
'
.
"
and party officials.
.
In Russian eyes technicums are definitely not part of
the system of higher education. But a person with a
school certificate plus this vocational training would
certainly not be markedly inferior to a large part of our
college graduates, judged by his productivity.
We often say in the U.S. that a college degree means
little. Everyone knows a few college graduates with rather low prestige jobs and low incomes; others with les
training rie to the top of the ladder. This ambiguity f
college education makes for a kind of fluidity in our
society. Hut in Kussia these technicum graduates (except
the handful of superior ones) are in dead-en- d
situations.
Emphasis upon formal education and certificates is to
gTeat that it is difficult for these people to compete with
the college products.
'The government has been happy to enroll as many as
it could recruit. It is even more anxicus to do so now
that most lOyear graduates will not enter college,
the regular road through the academic
school and higher education is no rcyal road for- - the
many.
