Med Center Growth Due To Devoted Dean
By TEVIS L. BENNETT

Thursday News Associate
If the development of the University Medical Center is a success, due recognition must
be given Dr. William II. Willard, vice president

in charge of the Medical Center and dean of
the College of Medicine.
In 1956, Dr. Willard was entrusted by the University with the responsibility of setting up the University College of Medicine and for the development
of the Mtdical Center.
Before coming to Kentucky, Dr. Willard was dean
of the College of Medicine of State University of
New York in Syracuse, a position he held for live

years.
Devoted to the needs of public health and its

problems, the dean came to the University because
he thought it needed a medical center and hoped
the people of Kentucky would support the development of a center.
Considering these needs and problems. Dr. Willard said, "I find that it takes a lot more than
physicians for a good sound medical, nursing, and
dental education; and here some of the associated
fields have so:ne cf the challenging opportunities
not available In other places."
Thoughtfully rubbing his chin, he continued saying. "One has a chance to develop programs and
recruit stuff members to develop and implement,
perhaps, some newer education and health services.
"The University Medical Center is a development
on a campus where others are separated from the

The Darkened Campus
In years past we have alternately
attempted to frighten, cajole, and
editorially force the University administration into realizing the need
for adequate lighting on the campus.
Our past efforts have met with
partial success as several random attempts to cope with the problem of
the many completely dark and dimly
lit areas on and near the University
grounds have been undertaken.
Two years ago, Kernel Editor Jim
Hampton, at the invitation of University Vice President Frank Peterson,
pointed out to the vice president a
number of areas which Hampton felt
were in need of lighting. Several incandescent Lights were attached to
buildings near these areas and Dr.
Peterson settled back, secure in the
belief that he had satisfactorily rid
himself of another student gripe.

That the lighting problem was not
solved became readily apparent last
year as exhibitionists, peeping toms,
and other perverts continued to
plague coeds in growing numbers. In
spite of efforts by Lexington and
University police, such persons continue to prowl around the shadowy
Botanical Gardens and women's
domitories.
'

It

apparent that some

is equally

members of the University administration would prefer to pretend that
this problem does not exist. In gathering information for a news story on

the lighting problem, a Kernel reporter was recently told by Dr. Peterson that campus lighting is adequate.
When pressed further, the vice
president cited his nocturnal jaunt
of two years ago as proof that a
lighting problem no longer exists.
After these efforts to put the reporter
off failed, Dr. Peterson turned to
that trick which has served him in
such good stead he offered to give
the reporter an opportunity to show
him where improper lighting conditions persisted and he would have
lights installed.
Such an offer may serve to temporarily divert the attention of the campus from the need for an adequately
planned and constructed campus
lighting system, but it does little toward ameliorating the present lighting
situation.
What is needed is a scientific
study by professional lighting' engineers, not a random placing of lights
by a student and an administrator.
We have heard nebulous promises
that a campus lighting study is under
consideration, but we have yet to
see any definite action being taken.
We want to see immediate action
taken toward a solution of the problem for it will be too late after one
of the campus prowlers turns to violence and a coed is attacked.
It would be well to consider that
a watt of prevention is worth a kilowatt of cure.

Once A Lord . .

Extinguishing His Honor
By TOM REEDY
LONDON, Nov. 23 (AP)-C- an

a

British lord quit?
Youthful Viscount Stansgate is
hopeful this week of breaking a three
centuries-ol- d
tradition by shedding
his title which he inherited against
his will.
The custom of once a peer always
a peer has been in effect since 1678
peers from sellto prevent hard-uing their titles for grocery" money.
Viscount Stansgate is
known as Anthony Neil Wedgwood
Benn, Labor party member of the
House of Commons for 10 years. He
inherited the title two weeks ago
when his father died.
The new Viscount Stansgate immediately announced he would renounce his peerage and status of
Noble Lord of the Realm.
He said he prefers the House of
Commons, where a man can raise
a bit of a ruckus once in a while and
feel like he is getting something done.
The House of Commons runs Britain; the House of Lords runs itself.
The case which has some of the
best brains in the mother of Parliaments up a tree, is expected to be
decided this week wlien the House
of Commons rules on his plea for a
select committee to enable him to
p

better

"drown or extinguish his honor."
That's the ancient phrase for renouncing a peerage.
"I'm not a reluctant peer, I'm just
a persistent commoner," Stansgate
says.

Before he died, his father tried
to get a bill passed allowing his son
to relinquish succession. The bill was
rejected, the last time in 1955.
Benn has been suspended from the
House of Commons until the matter
is decided.

Viscount Stansgate is without
rights in either the House of Lords
or the House of Commons, except
that he may use the washrooms in
Commons.

Benn has sent his letters of patent
to the lord chamberlain, in effect renouncing the title, and refused to
deliver to the House of Lords his

Honors Movement Is Growing
(EDITOR'S NOTE This is the
first in a series of three articles prepared by Dr. Stephen I)i.uhun, director of the University's Honors Program, in which the background,
purposes, and operation of the Honors Program are discussed.)
Recently Prof. Cohen of the University of Colorado reported that
there is a broad movement over the
country toward honors programs in
colleges and universities. This movement is based on some generally accepted assumptions.
One of these assumptions is that
there are identifiable talented students.
A second is that those with
greater capacity for study should be
given opportunities to make the most
of their capacities.
A third is that gifted students
arc not working to the extent of
their abilities because educational
practices, especially in the large state
universities, are geared for the most
part to students of average ability.
Providing special opportunities
for superior students is a recognition
of the dependence of democracy upon
the encouragement and use of all
possible talents. Providing equal educational opportunities for all students
does not, of course, mean identical
educational treatment. This principle
has been long recognized by making
special and costly provisions for
marginal students, especially for the
very poor or retarded student.
Mr. Frederick II. Jackson of the
Carnegie Corp. recently said, "When
the history of higher education in the
1950's and 1960s is written, I believe
that the honors movement will appear
as one of the more significant developments of these two decades."
If so, probably the first publig
university to be recognized for providing a well developed honors program will be the University of Colorado. Its program has lecn in operation for about 30 years.
In 1957, Colorado sponsored a
conference on honors programs in
public universities. At that time, the
Carnegie Corp. granted 125 thousand
dollars to the Interuniversity Committee on the Superior Student. This
committee publishes a monthly newsletter called The Superior Student.
A recent issue of this magazine carried
a list of colleges and universities that
have printed brochures describing
their programs. The University of
Kentucky was included in the list and
has received several requests for its
ciicular. These requests indicate that
there is much interest among colleges and universities that desire to
start or improve their honors programs.
In fact, in some universities, the
desire for honors programs is so
strong that separate honors colleges
are being established. For example,
according to the New York Times of
Aug. 9, the University of Oregon will
attempt to come to grips with the
dilemma of what to do with outstanding students in a vast undergraduate setting.
Oregon will establish a new honors college frankly aimed at the
superior student. In addition to required courses, the honors college
will demand proficiency in a foreign
language, a combination of a number of courses in a core program,
independent study, and a tutorial
system of advanced courses under the
guidance of individual instructors.
In May, 1959, at UK, a faculty
committee on the gifted student, a

subcommittee of the Committee of
"Fifteen, made the following statement in its report:
"While the idea of providing
special resources and attention for
the gifted student is not new in
American education, there has lccn
much recent concern and activity.
During the past few years many universities have established special pro- -

ill

grams for gifted students while others, like the University of Kentucky,
have appointed faculty committees
to study ways of attracting and stimulating greater numbers of superior
students.
"Concern with the provisions for
gifted students can lx? associated with
three major factors. First, the rapidly
increasing complexity of our technology has emphasized more than
ever before our need for able and
mature minds capable of coping lx)th
with technological problems and with
social crises precipitated by scientific
advancement.
"Second, the rapidly increasing
number of students who are seeking
a college education has forced emphasis on an expansion of resources
to provide greater quantity of services, to such an extent that many
educators fear a sacrifice of standards of quality. Thus, against the
background of fe'ar that the very
pressure of numbers may bring a
disastrous lowering of standards,
many educators are looking to special
programs for gifte-- students as one
means of retaining academic
and fulfilling a responsibility
for excellence.
"Third, institutions of higher education, especially our universities, by
their very charters, are dedicated to
the encouragement of excellence in
the highest intellectual pursuits."
