College Catering Co. Quits
P.y JIM M. CALDWELL
The College Catering company, which has managed and operated the student" grill and cafeteria
since the building was opened in May. 1938. will discontinue its operation of those agencies on the 30th
of this month. The Kernel learned late yesterday.
The company, a subsidiary of the Turf Catering
company of Chicago, notified the Board of Trustees
on August 31 that the contract was being relininterval, control
quished, and that after a
by the company would cease. The Board has not
as yet made public acknowledgement of the transaction.
According to Union Director James Shropshire,
who said his office has received a financial report
daily since the company began operation two years
ago. the firm has suffered losses in recent months,
but has continued to operate in the belief its trade
could be built up to a satisfactory point.
Probable selection of an organization or persons
to succeed the Catering company in its operation
of the two establishments will be made by the exe- cutive committee of the Board of Trustees when it
meets Friday morning in the otlice ol Acting Pres- iu mr nm- laent niomas v. uooper. a soiuee
rienl revealed yesterday.

According to several unofficial sources, the two
agencies most likely to be given priority by the committee are the Union building itself and the Union
News company, a national
concessionary concern.
Probability is. however, that the Union will be awarded
the new proprietorship.
The present equipment of the grill, cafeteria, and
kitchen is the property of the Cateiing company.
Ben Koppel. company manager, said yesterday. Evaluated at approximately $30,000. these furnishings will
have to be purchased by the new management.
Should the Union assume control after the fust
of next month, according to Shropshire, the University would in all probability buy the equipment outright to amortize whatever is incurred as debt over a
several years' period.
Although neither parly represented in the present
contract would authorize statements lor publication
last night, both said they were "satisfied they had
lived up to their obligations."

to wonder if the parallel in the two cases
docs not extend even further, so as to include
the leactions of Kentucky's junior high school
students and teachers to the subject matter 'of
D.xior Rugg's texts. Strangely, the accounts indicate, lew complaints have lx'en heard from
these sources or from state governmental and
educational officials either, for that matter.
In Sundav's Courier-Journal- ,
J. Howard Henderson. Frankfort correspondent, says that Slate
Attorney General Hubert Meredith made a
siudv of the textbooks some weeks ago, and
found none of the radical teachings he had beui
i old were there. Moreover,
the attorney general
and state siiK'tintendent of public instruction
art at present engaged in a survey of the work-lxxik- s
used to supplement the texts, and
have not as et rcxrtcd finding anything unusual.
What the resolution fails to note is that the
lxxiks have been in use for almost ten years, with
no prev ious complaints recorded against them.
And even more important their usage is pure-loptional with the heads of the individual
schools; vet education department statistics
show, about 40 xr cent of the state's institutions make use of the Rugg texts. Certainly, if
as the
the lxxks are as brazenly
charges would indicate, no such large jx?rcentagc
of educators would fail to see their shortcoming
or. seeing their undesirabililv. would teach
them inspite of it.
Again, the author of the icsohuion has isolated specific quotations from their contexts,
and has attacked them for meanings which are
not implied when the paragraph' are read in
their entirctv. Such an act. it seems to us, is no
more warranted, than would lx the deliberate
misquotation of a writer without allowing him
the opportunity to point out the injustice of
the deed.
I hat
Doctor Rugg's textbooks explain the
xajious
"newer" types of political
ideologies with a certain degree of objectivity
cannot lx? denied, but we cannot see that this
should have any bearing of the case. Much of
the world's ills today can le traced directlv to
dogma and to prejudiced political 'education":
and for this reason it is even more invxrtant
that members of tomorrow's generation learn
creeds have arisen than it
tchy
is that they learn the mere fact they have arisen
and are simply not good.
For if we are ever to have a sound world order when and if the present world revolution
is clicked, we shall need a race of objective
thinkers to insure against the 101'M'J'W mess
hapjcning again and it is just this mess that the
Rugg textbooks have succeeded in analving lor
this coming generation.

Paul Morit, a special "student ambassador"
of the Student Christian Movement, has
in China one vear, living with the Chinese young
people. When the universities were bombed,
Mr. Morit
went with the students to
the interior where their schools were
relxunlx-d- .
and then accompanied them on westward. He watched the determined students follow- up their education at all costs. Sharing the
Chinese student life as fully as possible, he slept
in church pews, in Chinese inns, or on hay mows,
and traveled in ojxn trucks, small boats, rickshaws, and on fxt.
This voting man. out of college two years,
is of our age. He should have a message for us.
for in a few years we will be the ciii.ens of America who will, we hope, try to maintain world
fellowship. In order to do this, we have to know-hothe people on the other side live. Therefore,

We have no particular opinion to express as
to the wisdom of this statement, for we are hardly in a position to say what would lx lx-sfor
the American state educational system as a
whole. However, speaking as one who is now
a student under that system, we will say that we
are somewhat surprised at these statements
and just a little bewildered. We thought the
maiter had long since been settled.
On last August 14, it will be recalled, President Roosevelt issued a statement in which he
urged college students and prospective college
students to continue their education. The President pointed out, by way of explanation, that
as far as the national defense program is concerned there will lx; a dire need for leadership and supervision by personnel of college
giaeie, and heme it is "the patriotic duty of
young jx?ople to continue their education and
thus prepare themselves to be useful citizen,."
We do not recall there Ixing any opinions to
the contrary expressed at the lime, and so we
had rather taken it for granted thai President
Roosevelt's statement constituted the collective
beliefs of the vast majority of the nation's educators, state and otherwise. And when the deferment clause was written into the uhimatelv
passed draft bill, and again there was no expressed disapproval of any importance, we were
strengthened in our conviction thai the President's was the soundest interpretation as to
what const it ti ted the undergraduate's rule in
the defense program.
It may lx as some local educators have suggested, that the association had in mind the
disapproval of any future acts of deferment
which might be passed to go into effect alter
the present provision expires on July 31. 1011.
Or it could lx?
