Summit Conference Ends
PARIS, May IX (AP) The Summit Conference ended tonight
with East and West bitterly blaming each other for its failure.
To the last minute Soviet Premier Naikita Khrushchev insisted
that he could not meet with the
West unless President Eisenhower
apologized for the U2 spy incident
and promised to punish those responsible.
Eisenhower refused to go beyond a statement that such flights
over the Soviet Union are ended.
The Western leaders met twice
during the day, waiting for Khrushchev to appear. He refused to do
so until, as he put it. the United
States gave him satisfaction.
Last-ditc- h
efforts by the British,
through a meeting between Foreign Ministers Andrei Gromyko and
Selwyn Lloyd, failed to break the
Impasse.
Finally, at 10:30 p.m.. the Western Powers issued this communique:
"The" President of the United
States, the President of the French
Republic, and the Prime Minister
of the United Kingdom take note
of the fact that because of the attitude adopted by the chairman of
the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union it has not been possible to begin, at the Summit Conference, the examination of the
problems which it had been agreed
would be discussed between, the

four chiefs of state or government.
"They regret that these discussions, so important for world peace,
could not take place. For their
part, they remain unshaken in
their conviction that all outstanding international questions should
be settled not by the use of threat
of force but by peaceful means
means through negotiation. They
themselves remain ready to take
part in such negotiations at any
suitable time in the future."
Khrushchev expects to pay a
courtesy call on President Charles
de Gaulle Wednesday before leaving Paris.
He is stopping in Berlin on his
way home to see Walter Ulbricht,
the East German Communist boss,
but leading Communists there denied Khrushchev would sign an
immediate peace treaty with the
East German regime.
President Elsenhower will stay
in Paris through Wednesday.
British Prime Minister Macmil-la- n
is going home Thursday to report to parliment.
The death knell to summit hopes
was sounded as the Western Big
Three announcement was read to
a tense news conference.
' A spokesman for the British
said the Russians still expressed
interest in a summit six or eight
months hence. There will be a new
administration in Washington next

Jan.

Notes, statements, and telephone
calls followed one another as tension mounted during the day. The
Western Leaders met for two
hours. Later Eisenhower, de Gaulle,
and Macmillan conferred 15 minutes to sum up the situation.
Despite the stress, Eisenhower
seemed in a genial mood as he
reached de Gaulle's Elysee Palace.
A few persons in the waiting crowd
booed- him, but boos were drowned
by cheers from the rest.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty was asked
whether the breakup of the summit would affect Soviet-Westetalks on disarmament at Geneva.
"So far as I know," Hagerty replied, "those conferences are in
session or will be in session,
rather. The United States will continue to attend."
The three Western powers will
report tomorrow to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Council
on the failure of the summit.

Students strolling past the statue of James K. Patterson, third

Clay's Ferry Bridge Built On Fault
span of

By HERB STEELY

Clay's Ferry Bridge, which won
on honorable mention award In
the National Class A bridge competition in 1945, is built on a fault
in the earth's surface.
Frof . Samuel Mory. one of the
chief engineers on the bridge construction and presently head of the
UK Structural Engineering Department, explained that one of
the tall piers is located on a fault
in the rock.
He said that a fault was a break
in the rock and the necessary engineering and construction changes
were made in order to overcome
this difficulty. v
' The shape of the base of the
pier was revised so that the load
would be properly distributed," he
added.
Frof. Mory further stated that
the revision of the base '"volved a
change in its thickness .rich was
increased from 12 to 30 feet. ,
Asked how much weight the
bridge could withstand, Prof. Mory
said it was classified as having a
1120 load limit.
He explained that the bridge
truck folcould support a
lowed and preceded by as fnany
n
trucks 30 feet apart as the
length of the bridge would permit.
Three separate contracts were
let for the bridge foundation,
sted and concrete deck.
The foundation cost 313,800 to
(instruct. Frof. Mory said today

feet and side spans of

feet.
Not only was Prof. Mory one of
the chief engineers on the Clay's
Ferry Bridge, he has also worked
in the capacity of chief structural
engineer during the construction
of many University buildings.

One of these is the four and one-ha- lf
million dollar Coliseum which
took approximately three years to
build.
Prof. Mory stated that 3,330 tons
of steel were used in constructing
this massive building.
One of the unusual construction
features, which he pointed out, is
the circular arrangement of the
side seats so as to permit maximum convenience and comfort for
the spectators.
Also the ceiling has a clear
height of 48 feet from the floor
and the only columns that can be
seen from the insid ; are the ones
supporting the balcony.
Prof. Mory was the chief structural engineer for the
state office building in Frankfort.
This building was the tallest
building in the world at
the time of iU construction.
The new reinforced concrete
dome on the capitol building in
Frankfort was designed by Prof.
Mory.

Paying To Play
Before last weekend's Little Kentucky Derby, we lavished praise uon
it for we thought it to lc a worthwhile
way to have a weekend of campus-wid- e
fun and gather funds to provide
scholarships for worthy students.
Some events of the past weekend,
however, have led us to reconsider our
feelings concerning the derby. We still
feel the derby has its merits, but we
find ourselves forced to temper our
enthusiasm with disgust for some of
its practices.
It would seem that the derby committee was so eaten up with the magnanimity of its task that it forgot those
who make the whole weekend possible
the bicycle and tricycle racers, queen
candidates, and other active participants in the weekend. They were all
forced to pay admission fees to be allowed to give their time, energy, and,
in the case of the bicycle racers, skin
to provide scholarship money for the

derby fund.
.We were informed that our reporters would be given no press passes
to enable them to cover the derby and
our photographers were asked to pay
to get in to photograph the derby.

Whether reporters or photographers
have to pay or not is not of impor

tance, we considered the derby important enough to give it extensive
coverage.

What is important is the bad public relations created by such episodes.
There will come a time when people
will not consider participation in the
derby an honor worth paying for.
From the sounds of current campus
opinion, that time is not far off.
The lure of a few trophies that
will soon be tarnished or passed on to
another group next year will eventually die. We need look no further than
Lances' Carnival for an example. The
mercenary aims of the
carnival eventually caused students to
become leary of it and to eventually
withdraw their support from it almost
entirely. Finally, last fall, Lances' Carnival folded completely. In spite of
its noble aims, the Little Kentucky
Derby can die just as quickly if it

they never see and seldom hear of.

It represents still another swing of
the education pendulum. In the late
'10's complaints were heard that there
was too much concentration on science and technology. Then in the fall
of 1957 people began seeing one moon
too many and inferred that science
was dangerously underemphasized.

With publication of 1900 figures,
echoes of the late 10's warnings are
being heard again.
Dr. Alvin Eurich, director of the
Ford Foundation's education division,
terms the trend "seriously dangerous," and asks for a more balanced
program to "assure that bright young
Americans will be trained to run the
store, further the arts, and make the
human decisions of government, as
well as to take off into space."
John L. Burns, president of the
Radio Corjwration of America, asserted recently that the shortage of
"management men who understand
change and can adapt themselves
effectively to it" is more serious for

America than the shortage of engineers. He said RCA today does 80
percent of its business in items that
did not exist or were just being introduced immediately after the war.
We agree with these two viewpoints on the need for balanced educational output.
Natural science is not the culprit.
There is much evidence to support
C. P. Snow's contention that science
majors know far more about government, art, and literature than humanities major's know of science.

It

is time for more Americans to

realize that the answer to these educational imbalances lies not in holding the liberal arts and the sciences
as mutually exclusive choices for
higher education, but as two interdependent areas of knowledge for the
student to grasp before he starts to
specialize.
Civilization is slowed as much by
diplomats ignorant of.the second law
of thermodynamics as by nuclear
physicists ignorant of Plato; as much
by managers unfamiliar with molecular chemistry as by researchers unfamiliar with economics; as much by
novelists illiterate in astrophysics as
by space technicians illiterate in

If Miss Horn is so worried about
the Kentucky educational system, we
would suggest that she should look

farther into the question rather than
just looking across Limestone Street.
We are not complaining, but are
just looking for clarity. This is a
breakdown of our "crib courses":
professional courses, 21; math and
chemistry, 50; and other Arts and
Sciences courses, 50; the other student, professional courses, 21;
30; psychology, 21; and other
Arts and Sciences courses, '55.
We would suggest that Miss Horn
should find out the difference between
a professor and a teacher.

Too Many Science Majors?
Approximately 60 percent of this
year's top high school graduates intend to major in science, engineering,
or mathematics at college, a recent
scholarship survey indicates. This is
a marked upswing over the
proportion.

Education's Defense

To The

Eil i tor:

In reference to Suy Horn's soapbox in last Wednesday's Kernel.
Thank you, Suy, for writing your
censure of the College of Education
and also for its timeliness.
If you hail written this article last
fall 1 would have read it and agreed
with you and it would have ended
there because I, too, was ignorant and
unobjective in my attitude toward the
College of Education.
When I transferred into Education last fall, after being in Arts and
Sciences for three years, I was re-

morseful and bitter, but I wanted a
certificate in elementary education
and transferring was the only alternative.
When I looked at my schedule
card for the fall semester, I was horrified to see that, with the exception
of one science course, my IS hours
consisted entirely of Education
courses and I immediately assumed
a negative attitude toward almost
every course. It wasn't until the end
of the semester that I began to realic,
only too late, that there were good
concepts, techniques and skills taught
in these courses.
It was my student teaching experience at the University Lalxratory
School that really made me wake up,
look around, and realize just how
much I didn't know. Suy, it's a whole
lot easier to write something false
anil have your hand called by a
printed retort than to tell a child
something untrue and have him look
you right in the eye and call you
down.
Although there are several joints
of reference which I disagree with, it
is your closing statement that I wish
oint
to quote and use as a ta king-of- f
for the defense of the College of
Education.
"Kentucky is pretty low on the national education scale, 50th out of 52
states and territories, and UK's College of Education doesn't seem to be
doing anything constructive about the
matter."

am defending the College of
Education by listing both the past
improvements of the quality of the
curriculum and future plans for additional changes.
