In a question and answer period following the lecture, Dr. Galbraith stated
that he did not think that the World
Bank, a part of the United Nations,
"could administer the massive burden of
our (the United States') whole aid program." There are great differences in the
capacity of countiies to use aid, and he
said he felt that the United States can
administer the aid more effectively.
Concerning a proposal for a Peace

Prof. Ciardi Discusses
Role Of The Humanities
By GARY IIAWKSWORTII
Associate Daily Editor

attempt to get rid of the "tinny

John Ciardi, lecturer at
yesterday's Student Congress
Lecture Series, gave a sketchy
outline of what he considered
the role of the humanities in
"stirring up experiences."

Mr. Ciardi explained that the
humanities were a key to experience that a man needed to
broaden himself. "Without humanities you cannot educate," he
said. He explained that the uneducated, are those "whose
is limited to his immediate environment."
The difficulty of expressing this
"resonance" of the humanities
was demonstrated by Mr. Ciardi's
to communicate
the
inability

on the subject.
utterances
Mr. Ciardi's ability to voice
stirring cliches is quickly supported by his facility with stirring bromides. Using Caruso as
his example of the "resonance"
within the art he said, "When
you listened to Caruso, you had
a new dimension in experience.
Here was the perfect marriage
between the singer and the song."
Offering a personal example of
achieving experience in the humanities, Mr. Ciardi said he
spent four years in the army and
an equal amount of time sailing
with "Captain Ahab In Moby
Dick." At first It wasn't clear if
this was meant as a testimony to
the "experience in humanities"
or an example of Mr. Ciardi's
theories.
"Exposition is written paragraph by paragraph and fiction
scene by scene," he said. He explained that exposition was informational and could be read

"This is a subject about which
I am correctly reported to know
nothing," began Mr. Ciardi on

College?" and then commenced
to prove his point of view.
Mr. Ciardi expressed disgust at
American teachers in their bent
on categorizing material In
teaching and learning. He said
he favored an escape from this
cataloging of all experience.
Mr. Ciardi argued that the
humant'ies and especially poetry
was frivolous. "I would like to
argue in favor of frivolity," he
said, "all of our serious nature
we share with the apes."
Mr. Ciardi's message delt with
teachers, students, and words. "A
great teacher strikes fire to a
student," he said, "but some students are made of asbestos and
couldn't be set on fire if you
stuck a blow torch to them."
He said that he didn't speed

be savoured and enjoyed. He said
the humanities, through words,
had to "set off a resonance" in an

sound."

for speed by technicians,
but
that "as soon as you get expression then speed reading is no

In his pleading for the need of

being: he is born a human possibility."

Mr. Ciardi spoke with ease and
presented his comments in a

King, juior Arts and Science student, said after the lecture, "he
said nothing that hasn't been

JOHN CIARDI

Poet Ciardi's Appearance Creates Stir
By HENRY ROSENTHAL
Kernel Staff Writer

John Ciardi, speaker at
Stuyesterday's semi-annudent Congress Lecture Series,
created varied feelings among
University faculty members.
Mr. Ciardi,

poetry

editor

for

the Saturday Review for seven
years, talked on the topic, "What
Good is a College?" at a 4 p.m.

lecture.
The topic has been a subject of
controversy among various campus professors and Instructors.
One professor said that Ciardi
was not actually
experienced
enough to criticize colleges and
universities.
Dr. Robert While, asswlute
professor of English, said, "Ciardi

Is very elegant, however, he
peaks with intelligence about
subjects that he knows nothing."
Dr. White said, "At ne time he
(Ciardi) had been a promising
young poet."
In an interview prior to yesterday's lecture, Mr. Ciardi spurned
these comments and said, "I have
often thought so myself."
Ciardi said, "I have never gotten far from the poetry and liberal
arts area." He 6a id he
thought poetry had something to
do with education.
Dr. White said that Ciardi was
a man of cliches. Dr. White remarked that he thought Student
Congress was being "bilked" by
the selection of Ciardi. He added,
"Of course the Student Congress
is not at fault because they know

nothing about making such selections."
Prof. Ciardi
said, "I have
taught for 20 years at places such
as Harvard and the University of
Michigan and have come by my
thought honestly.
"The essence of education is
that if you wait for a wise man
to come around it will take a
long time to get an education but
if you learn a little from every
fool you will have an education."
he said.
Dr. White said that Ciardi was
smooth operator and a "con
man."
Henry Chapln, Instructor in the
Department of English, said, "I
feel suspicious of his actions. Self
promotion has no place in the
literury field."
Mr. Ciardi said that he liked

to remind students that they are
candidate
for a liberal arts degree. They seem to resist the basis
of education which is the best, he
said.
He added, "I am sorry if they
(UK faculty members) have read
my brochure and believed it."
"Wt had to have some lecture
topics and we pulled some of
them up." He said that he did
not lecture on administration, and
parkirg but stayed to the academic side.
Prof. Ciardi once raised a controversy over a book of poetry by
Mr.
Anne Marrow
Llndberg.
Chapln said that she wrote an
"easy going form of poetry."
Anne Marrow Llndberg, according to Mr. Ciardi, was compared

Judo Leads
Coed Sports
By KATHRYN JOHNSON
ATLANTA F) A young worn-e- n
who takes Judo for kicks Is
apt to find there are more kicks
In it than she thought possible.
The spiked heel is a reminder
to the most petite and fragile girl
that she need never be defenseless.
At least, that's what the Judo
experts teach "kick with those
heels, girls."
Each week at the YMCA a
group of attractive homemakers
and career girls practice Judo,
vhich Is generally considered a
man's sport.
"Judo Is the most valuable

"It's basic strategy Is one of

"Now what do you. do?" J. C.
Lindsay asks the class of women
while he is still supine on a gym

"I run," says one girl.
"No, you don't," Lindsay replies. "Your attacker is liable to
get right up and chase you again.
"Do you know what you should
do? You fight dirty," he said.
"Rap your spiked heels into your
assailant's head. Kick him in the
ribs. Try stepping out of your
shoes and leaving them in his
chest. Or use your thumbs and
gouge his eyes."
At such advice, some of the
women Judo students make
squeamish facts and say:
"Oh, I couldn't."
"If you don't fight dirty, you
could be, killed," the instructor
always warns. "The only thing
to remember is
"If a man has grabbed you and

Women Smokers Increase;
May Surpass Males Soon
By JEAN SPRAIN WILSON
AP Newsfeatures Writer
NEW YORK Currently fewer
women smoke than men. Yet, if
their addition continues to increase at its present rate, females
may surpass them as weed fiends.
There are four boys to every
girl who begins to smoke before
aged 12, but by aged 25, a
age, estimates of smoking
prevalence runs as high as 36
percent among women.
The pregnant w oman who
smokes is likely to have a smaller baby than the
mother.
Whether or not she or her husband has the cigarette habit
seems to have some bearing on
her children's attitude the cigarette habit and parents who are
permissive instead of restrictive
are more likely to have cigarette-smokin- g
offspring.
These were among the findings
to women in the
significant
Smoking and Health report made
public recently by the Advisory
Committee to the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service.
In this compilation, hundreds of
scientific studies and their evaluation by 10 prominent physicians,
it was discovered that despite advertising campaigns, women restrict their smoking almost entirely to cigarettes.
Yet, within the past 13 years,
according to an American Cancer
Society survey, the number of
women smokers has increased
from 31 to 36 percent.
On the basis of a sample of
senior students at Newton, Mass.
high schools, two researchers, J.
Worcester and E. Salber, suggest that "women, particularly
Jewish women, may soon overtake men in the number who
smoke."
Only one percent of the girls,
as to five percent of the boys,
took up smoking before they were
12 years old. But at the senior
high school level between 40 to

percent of students have been
found to be smokers, the report
says. However, the ratio of male
to female smokers was not given.
By age 25, estimates of smoking prevalence runs as high as
60 percent of men and 36 percent of women. In the 65 and
over group, it's 20 percent among
men and only 4 percent among
the ladies.
Smoking of any kind is most
prevalent among the divorced
and widowed, the researchers
discovered, and least among those
who have never been married
until the age of 45 when they as
likely to be smokers as anybody
else.
Seven separate studies arrived
at the same conclusion: women
smoking during pregnancy, have
babies of lower birth weight and
have a significantly greater number of premature deliveries than
expectant mothers.
do
However, the researchers
not know whether this decrease
in birth weight has any influence
on the biological fitness of the
newborn or why the birth weight
decrease results.
There is a consistent increase
in the number of high school
smokers from their freshman to
their senior years, regardless of
sex or purental habits. But within each year there are significantin families
ly more smokers
wheie both parents smoke than
in families, where neither parent
smokes.
The doctors conclude that :
"The cultural milieu seems to
have a strong influence. A permissive cultural climate tends to
promote and a rejecting or outright prohibitive one to inhibit
smoking."
In other words, the oldtlme
Dad who gave his sun a walloping behind the woodshed after
catching him smoking corn silk
had the right idea, even if the
boy did learn to smoke later on.

Wear A Cabana,
The Fashion Rage
JEAN SPRAIN WILSON
AP Fashion Writer
NEW YORlb You can cancel
out your membership
at the
beach club this summer, for the
really "in" thing to do at the
resorts is to wear your cabana.
It has become terribly chic to
go down to the sea in an authentic copy of something by Omar
the tentmaker and step up camp
simply by raising your arms.
There in the privacy of all that
stretchable
fabric you wiggle
modestly into or out- of your
bathing suit, and all the while
your swimming pals are thinking
you're merely doing the Twist.
It is cheaper by a dam site, or
by a lake shore, or by somebody's swimming pool, or anywhere for that matter.
And it's cozy. When- you feel
wet and clammy, the opaque
cotton fabiic serves as a towel
to dry you off. Absolutely no
other cabana can make that
statement.
Moreover, the mobile cabana
looks charming while occupied.
This shift that outshifts all shifts
belts at the waist to create a
blousy kimona effect, or under
tlie bosom for an empire look.
sash also doubles
The bias-cas a turban when not circling
the figure.
As shifty as it is. this garment isn't sneaky. Bold diagonal
stripes and sci earning colors announce its arrival to bathers
along the coast and all the sailors on ships at sea.
The pity of Jt is that the wearable cabana may take some of
the challenge out of bathing suit
changing along the Riviera. Donning and shedding bikinis in public view without baring too much
more was becoming quite an art,
and quite a tourist attraction, too.
Indeed, we wouldn't be a bit
surprised if the French banned
this false modesty eventually.
But at least the traveling cabana appears to have a great
future with the modest American
swimmer with an income too
modest to want beach shelters.

and women whose basic education Is below, a. fifth grade level.
Lark means Literacy for Adults
and Related Knowledge. Its goal
is to provide the confidence and
nbility that will enable the
to take vocational
training, leave the welfare rolls
and obtain steady employment.
But more than that, as Mrs.
Wallace explains, it's an attempt
to help them rejoin the human
race, so they can read a newspaper, write a letter, compute a
family budget.
The Lark Foundation was born
less than six years ago, but already Lark classes are being
taught in 17 states.
Mrs. Wallace says she has
trained 800 volunteer teachers
around the country in the Lark
techniques since she founded the
movement.
Probably 2,000 men and women,
she says, have taken Lark classes
taught in Washington State by
clubwomen, retired school teachers and other volunteers.
Mrs. Wallace is not a career
teacher. She once taught in a
country schoolhouse,
but spent most of her life working with her husband in the florist business in Oregon.
When they moved to Yakima,
she said her husband thought
she might like to stay home and
keep house.
"It was a lovely dream," she
says, "And I put up with it for
several months. But I quickly
became bored and went into other
things."
"Other things" developed into
the Lark Foundation, and she
has never stopped.

In doing so, the legislators turned
cold shoulders to Gov. Breathitt,
thousands who marched on Frankfort, and more than 30 who eventually
conducted an 11th hour sit-i- n
and
fast in the house chambers.
Gov. Breathitt has been asked to
call a special session on civil rights.
The governor has wisely said that a
special session at this time will do no
good. The legislators aren't likely to
change their minds during a week's
Jayoff.
Some 31 states have public accommodations bills the type of legislation proposed in the Kentucky
Ceneral Assembly. Five cities, not included in the 31 states, also have
passed legislation of this type, 66 percent of the American population being covered by this legislation.

Although these laws differ in content, most of them prohibit racial
discrimination in hotels, motels, resthe same
taurants, and theaters
places covered by the bill now before Congress. However, unlike the
proposed federal statute, these state
laws make it a crime to violate the
law. . Punishments
accommodations
range from fines of $10 to $500 and
jail sentences of 10 days to a year.
The first such state law was passed
in Massachusetts in 1863. In 1869,
Congress itself passed just such a
law for the District of Columbia.
In 1953 Supreme Court decision,
the court upheld laws of this nature
saying, "So far as the federal constitution is concerned, there is no
doubt that legislation which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of race in
the use of facilities serving a public
function is well within the police
power."
Regardless of its record a record
education budget, new regulations on
strip mining, and the like the Kentucky General Assembly must answer
to its failures.
The death penalty remains legal
in Kentucky and the state is still in
need of a workable, enforceable civil
rights bill.
In failing to meet the call of the
governor and those who marched on
Frankfort, the legislature may well
have missed its best chance to thrust
Kentucky among the nation's leaders
in the field of human rights.
We must still wait. The legislature
is not ready. For them, the time for
equal rights is not yet come.

A man in Scotland was walking
along the moors one dark foggy night.
He saw what seemed to him to be a
huge monster coming toward him in
the fog. Trembling with fear, he
stopped and picked up a club to
protect himself. The "monster" kept
coming closer and closer, and with
each step he began to look more familiar to the man. Finally when the
image was only a few feet from the
man, he recognized it to be that of
his own brother.
So it is with us and Cod. When
we are far away from God, relying
upon our own guidance, acting in any
way we wish, making all of our decisions alone, living the kind of life we
want to live and not the kind God
would have us to live, God's glory and
wonder are not visible to us.

relationship with God, we might practice the words of the psalmist who
said, "The Lord is nigh unto all them
that call upon him, to all that call
upon him in truth." Try calling on
God in truth and he will answer.

But, as we come closer and closer
to God, asking Him to guide us and
help us live the kind of life He would
have us to live, all of God's wonderful forgiving power, greatness and
glory can clearly be seen by us.
Only with this clear vision of God
can we truly come to know Him and
become a child of God. To form this

War On Poverty Generates National Optimism
President Johnson has formally
declared war on poverty in these
United States. In a message to Congress recently, he outlined a scintillating program which is generating a
tone of optimism in the national
media. Once again we are enthralled
by a glamorous administrative plan,
and cheerfully confident of the ability
of our prosperous nation to solve all
the problems of its disinherited with
a gesture of its legislative arm. Create
an opportunity here, give a grant
there, and pretty soon, poverty, the
discovery of the sixties, will be on
its way to the museum of social history.
Anyone genuinely concerned with
the tragic paradox of poverty in the
midst of plenty must celebrate the fact
that we have rediscovered the fact of
poverty, that political forces have

drawn national attention to it, and
that the mass media are at least attempting to inform the public about
some of the causes and implications of
poverty.
Overall, however, the President's
plan is susceptible to several criticisms. One set of criticisms deals with
the inadequacy of the mechanisms
by which programs are to be matched
with needs. The other set deals with
some of the assumptions which are
apparent in the message to Congress.
Altogether, the program amounts to a
collection of gadgets: it does not represent a new kind of thinking. But
the realities of "hard core" poverty are
sufficiently grave that there is a real
question as to whether we can deal
w ith poverty adequately by means of
gadgets.
On the first, more superficial level,
we must note that a major feature of
the Act is the emphasis on vocational
training and
