AP Ntwkfratures Writer
NEW YORK (AP) The orphan,
lorlorn and alone In the world, has
all but vanished from the American
.icme.
Ahead of him Into obsolescence
has plunged that
Institution, the orphan asylum.
...Credit for this goes primarily to
Kience and medicine. Research,
'wonder drugs, antibiotics, vaccines
and Improvements In surgical techniques are keeping so many people
a live today that the number of
children who have lost both parents has dropped a dramatic 93
per ccr.t in the past 40 years.
The almost fantastic decrease in
the nation's death rate and the
increased life expectancy of the
average citizen cut the number of
new orphans to 52,000 last year. If
life and death conditions prevailing in 1920 had remained unchanged, the figure would have been
old-fashlon- cd

750.000.

Since 1937 alone the chemical
revolution in medicine has kept
alive more than three million people.
Dr. C. C.

that between 1938 and 1952 one

saved by antibiotics more than a

The fact that more people are
staying alive arid that people are
living longer has had a particularly dramatic effect xn children. At
the moment, for Instance, there
are about 2,700.000 children In this
country who are under 18 and have
lost one or both parents. Had it not
been for the improvement In the
nation's health, there would be
close to 10 million.

The fast diminishing numbers of
orphans logically would have had
the effect of putting the hundreds
of orphanages In the nation out of
business. It has come, however, at
a time when there has been vastly
increased understanding of children and their problems. The result has been that the number of
institutions for children has remained almost static since 1920 at
about 1,600.
But today few of these institutions are orphanages. They are
almost entirely diagnostic and
treatment centers for disturbed
children, retarded children, children with special problems who
need special treatment.
Many of them have retained, for
sentimental or traditional reasons,
their old names. One famous home

Some Unsentimental Parting Remarks

porters were Campus Party members;
the other two were Students' Party.
A fifth reporter wrote the composite
story from their individual segments,
and I then rewrote it into its final
form. This was done merely to arrange the different paragraphs into
order according to their news value.
Our critic's secondary premise is as
presumptuous and false as his main
one. My political affiliations, as the
KerneVs past issues will show, have
been neutral insofar as the paper's
editorial policies are concerned. I did
not support either party prior to the
election because I honestly felt it was
going to be too close and I did not
want the paper to' influence the out- -

conclusion in such

.

fashion.
The fact that the ballot boxes were
stuffed was common knowledge, but'
no one wanted to expose it. My one
attack on Taylor Jones came after he
the very candidate whose platform
included a "freedom of the press"
plank tried to persuade me not to
publish the story. No matter who won,
we would have published it; it was
sheep-lik- e

our responsibility to do so.
That, in essence, is the Kernels
defense. It is the same guide. that I
have tried to use all year, and which
I know the paper will continue to
use in the future: to do the right
thing, although it may not be the
popular one.
'
Knowing that, I step down from the
ivory tower. Criticism, when it is it- self "sour grapes," doesn't really
bother me a hell of a lot.

A Political Triumvirate
To The Editor:
Throughout

history,

triumvirates
(Caesar's, Clay's) have confronted the
jeople of the world. Never being outdone, UK has formed a triumvirate: the
Kernel, the Students' Party and "sour

grapes."
The big deal is fraud! Fraud, in this
case, is basically the same as graft in
politics. We continually
government
condemn graft and fraud, but it is inevitable, just as death and taxes.
The Kernel article (first exposure of
the fraud ) was written I am told, by
Jim Hampton, whose political preferences leans towards the Students' Party;
2 plus 2 equals 4 or "sour grapes."

The story is simple. The Students'
Party has virtually done nothing constructive in its tenure of office. The
student body is disgusted with the lack
of action or power of SC. The student
body wants action and believed that
"it was time for a change," and the
result was a sweeping victory for the
Campus Party. The student body wants
