Although the directory will be

General campus parking permits
have been Issued to faculty and
staff members.
These permits have been issued
because of the continuous shift in
parking areas due to the construction of new buildings and because many faculty members have
responsibilities on different parts
of the campus, Dr. Leslie L. Mar- tin, dean of men announced.
Faculty and staff permit holders
will "be admitted to the parking
lots on Rose Street, College View,
Scott Street and the new lot at the
ca.t end of Stoll Field because of
the reduction In the number of
parking spaces, particularly in the

said.
The area signs will remain on

Prepared For The 'Flood'

It is encouraging to know there
is some interest at UK to see that we
are not a part of a possible mass in-

cineration.
The establishment of a Campus
Safety and Emergency Committee,
under the terse leadership of Lloyd
Mahan, is truely the beginning for a
definite plan of action. It is honestly
hoped that the purposes for the establishment of this committee will remain as a steadfast image and not be
lost in the jungle of committee meetings and the high grass of other obligations.
The nine subgroups, appointed
by the main committee to study the
various phases of civil defense, must
act quickly and accurately. At present,
we still remain nakedly unprepared.
For if, and it must remain at that
level, the bomb the whole world fears

comes, the campus population will
have to know where to go and how to
fend for themselves. This needs direction, and it is up to the committee
to provide that leadership now.
There is an unusual and dramatic
bit of irony to our preparation for this
Twentieth Century situation, if we
believe history repeats itself. Without
gushing over the Bible in some blind
fashion, it is hard to read the story
of Noah and not consider its modern
ramifications. The people of Noah's
day thought the ark was folly until
the flood; then it was too late.
Will the campus population be so
complacent and apathetic as to wait
that long until it is too late? Let us
hope that if nuclear war and holocaust do come, we will not be a part
of the original cast, because we have
prepared.

Glance Back To 1919

We Want A Chin Strap!

Aside from the familiar, "Doctor
7S63 call the exchange," an unusual
and disheartening statement of University policy was issued through the
voice of John Ileber to fans attending
last Saturday's Ole Miss game.
In effect, the University announcer said children were to stay
off the playing field after the game
and that the players had been instructed by their coaches not to give
away their chin straps. Oh, sigh!
Here we are in a University community that provides full scholarships
for men to come play football, pays
for tutors for some members of the
team, charges $1 for using University
parking lots, and charges 50 cents
for a roster of the two teams. A Unie
versity which maintains several
employees to handle public re-

Li

the bank. But to some aspiring
Throckmorton, a chinstrap is more
than a sweaty piece of leather. It
is a symbol of prestige, of respect,
and of gratitude to the football players and to the University. Some day,
little Throckmorton may want to
come to the University, to study and
learn to be a football player. Alas!
The University should not deny
these
aspiring youths. It
can help stamp out juvenile delinquency and build good public relations, if it would only give away
those sweaty pieces of leather.

A small news dispatch from England reports that British scientists
gathered at Manchester University to
commemorate the birth in 1871 of
Lord Rutherford. The New Zealand-borphysicist was a man of genius
whose work would have placed him
in the front rank of the scientists of
our century whatever the course of
world history might have been. As
things have turned out, it is the
course of world history that gave the
Manchester ceremonies a special significance, for it was Ernest Rutherford who in 1919 made the discovery
that proved a key link in the chain
of investigations
ami experiments
leading to the production of the
atomic bomb and its successor weapons.
The nature of science is such that
there are no absolutely new beginnings in it and perhaps no single step
can be called decisive alove all others. But when Rutherford bombarded
nitrogen with what he had earlier
n

christened as the alpha rays of radium
and found that this induced atomic
changes in nitrogen there was a leap
forward into the future, although
none knew how far that leap was to
carry mankind.
Nearly two decades were to pass
before the idea of an atomic bomb
gained any currency even in the
scientific woild and Rutherford himself died in 1937 without ever believing in its development. Yet that
was, as science goes, an extremely
short time between a fundamental inquiry anil an application affecting all
mankind. Rare ly, if ever, has it Imtii
proved so swiftly, anil so massively
that an increase in pure knowledge
can be an access of terrifying power.

Reasons For The Surge In City Costs, Deficits
The average American city dweller
still rebels at
but seems strangely inclined to put up with

In an era when city property
taxes have grown systematically, then
begotten sales and gross receipts
taxes, too, urban voters still show a
marked reluctance to pay attention
to names at the bottom of the ballot.
Or to follow the budget work of
their city council appropriations committee. Or to care about competitive
bidding, assessment procedures, city
hall overstaffing, and a host of other
problems that gain the spotlight in a
Washington setting but are often
overlooked closer to home.
This is not to suggest that corruption is chiefly responsible for rising
city taxes. Far from it. Deferred maintenance and delayed replacement of
city plant are the chief cause. Tainted

patronage and contract favoritism are
but a small rider on the back of this
bonanza in public works and expanded public services.
Historically there is a good reason
for this surge in city costs and deficits.
The Great Depression and the
second Great War diverted so large
a percentage of public expenditures
away from the building and maintenance of cities to other social and
military purposes that city halls have
spent most of the postwar years
in red ink trying to recover
lost ground.
Analyzing Census Bureau statistics from 310 major American cities,
the Congressional Quarterly shows
that although deficits have dropped
slightly in the past year they have
done so only because more tax revenues have
collected. The'se
310 cities alone spent over $15,000,- wal-lowi-

lx-e-

half the cost
000,000 last year-ab- out
of running the federal government

(defense costs excepted).
Confirming the theory that much
of this is caused by deferred maintenance (slum clearance or urban renewal), the CQ analysis shows that
the greatest single increase in city
budgets last year was for housing and
redevelopment up 73.8 percent.
This spending is inherently useful,
not bad. On the average,
renewal dollars are stimulating private enterprise investment at a
ratio. And they are creating clean
livable new areas, sometimes (though
not often enough) aesthetically rewarding and socially improved. At
the same time such renewal is helping
to preserve for the American people
an investment in city plant estimated
to total about $S(K),(KK),(XK),(KK)- -a major national asset.
What is needed is simply a better

r
check on the process.
Local appropriations committee members ought to be watched carefully for
Pubsigns of mutual
lic works bidding procedures and the
criteria for awarding urban renewal
contracts ought to receive more than
cursory public attention.
In short those voters who complain about "big government" and
demand local rights should examine
their own performance to see whether
they are ready for what they ask.
They ought to know the caliber of
every local official found in the musty
bottom reaches of the ballot. And
they ought to mount a close watch on
performance alter these officials are
elected.
Otherwise, increased home rule
and local initiative may prove more
wasteful than that famous trip of
tax money to Washington and back.

Bvubeck Concert Tonight
Brings Live Jazz To State

By RICK REYNOLDS
Central Kentucky's first live
concert by a name Jazz group is
Just around the corner.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet will
be at the Frankiia County High
School today at 8:15 to present
a ronrert under the auspices of
Kentucky State College.
Brubeck appeared at UK for the
Little Kentucky Derby concert in
the spring of I960. Although there
was some doubt as to the reception UK studenta would give the
progressive pianist, his concert was
certainly an enjoyable success,
even in the minds of the most
ardent progressive Jazz opponents.
Drummer Joe Morello and Oas-ri- st
Eugene Wright provide a solid
rhythmical backing that Is not
only musically correct but drives
and pushes so that the other musicians in the group really have
to work Just to stay on top of the
beat.
However their efforts are cer- lainly not wasted on the other two
mrmnrn 01 me quartet, uruoecK
and altoist Taol Desmond. Desmond, who looks like a Harvard
profesnor of economies, possesses
ample technique and an almost
flawless tone . that hi. playing I,

to choruses reminiscent of a Bach
invention, is now usin
bipper, fuller chords, devices such
a
locked chords (playing full
chords simultaneously with both
hands i, and generally more rhythmical solos.
As an added help the group has
been together for some little while
so that they all know what they
want to do and can help each
other in doing it. Put all this together and you have a definitely
solid and swinging group.
As for his records, Bruberk has
on was
rlrar chronology of his
playing and the changes his style
has undergone. As for the type
thing you might expert to hear at
his concert in Frankfort, try listening to three of his latest, although not his newest, albums:
"Southern
Scene (CL 1439);
"Gone With the Wind" rCL 1437);
and "Time Out" (CL 1397).
"Southern Scene" and "Gone

With the Wind" offer pood
nmples of the solid "tonethernoss"
type of sound that the Brubeck
quartet now has. The tunes on
these two albums are for the most
part tunes that are commonly associated with the South, particu- larly Stephen Foster songs. The
arrangements are fresh and happy,
but the true melodic scene of the
tunes is never lost.
"Time Out," on the other hand,
offers seven original tunes, all
based on different
rhythmical
structures. Rut here again, driv- ing rhythmical barking by
ello and Wright, plus good
solos by Bruberk
and Desmond give an overall
sound that is very pleasing without being overly excitable or dull.
But to really get the full enjoyment of the Brubeck sound try
to catch the Frankfort concert. It
will be well worth the
drive to get there.
