By PAUL SCOTT

Just as in 1959, wives of 1841 often persuaded sometimes reluctant husbands to pay visits to the
s.
Such was the purpose of Abraham Lincoln's second
Journey to Lexington.
Mary Todd Lincoln was a Lexingtonian. so presumably
she wanted a final stamp of parental approval.
Lincoln stayed in Lexington nearly a month, perhaps
the first teal vacation he had taken during his 32 years.
Hut his leisure moments in the Blue Grass left scars on
the Great Emancipator.
During the period of his visit, the slave markets
were operating full .blast. Mary Todd Lincoln's home,
located on West Main Street, was in hearing distance of
in-law-

the slave market on Cheapside, one of the largest In
Central Kentucky.
The market was the center of dally slave auctions,
which Lincoln could perhaps hear and sometimes see
from the Todd home. Although the young politician
had heard much about these markets, they were much
worse than he had imagined.
Lexington impressed Lincoln although it was, compared to today's city, very small. There were no super
streets, no speeding automobiles;
highways, no one-wa- y
just the horse and. buggy for transportation and the
gigantic Phoenix Hotel all three stories of it.
However, the Main Street which Lincoln saw was
only a slightly less modern version of today's thorough

problem.
Levi Todd. Lincoln's

also took him on
several tours around Lexington and Fayette County, over
the Georgetown Pike and most of the horse farm area.
No one really knows whether Lincoln ever trod the
ground where UK now stands, but if he did, he would
certainly be proud of this institution.
After all, Lexington was Mary Todd Lincoln's hometown and no husband can afford to disapprove of anything concerning his wife's birthplace.
It just isn't ethical!

RALPH McGILL
Delivers Blazer Lecture

his child will go to school, the
most important issues of the day,"
bur will "open, new and better
schools, not close them."
"The mind must be shut before
the doors of the schools can be
closed." The "politicians' determination to end public education
is incredible," he stated. In the
face of the South's phenomenal
commercial and economic progress,
the "proposed destruction of public
education is deplorable."
To close the public schools is
"trampling out the vintage where
political wrath is sowed," McGill
said, for, if education is "crucified," it will rise again "because
of the determination of the people
for public education."
McGill atributed Kentucky's and
other border states' painless integration programs to good leadership, although the smaller percentage of Negroes in. the states,
the plantation economy of. the
Deep South and the "more open
minds" in the integrating states
were contributing factors.
In the question and answer
period following his lecture, McGill
said he felt the NAACP was
"pushing" too hard in the South,
However, he continued, "it is working from the basis of a legal, moral
position. That can't be said for
the other side."
"If this nation is to continue
to exist, I don't see how anybody
can argue against equal rights in
public functions for all people,"
.McGill said.
"All the. Negro is trying to be
is a' citizen. I think he has a right
to be one."

The dean announced last weec

that he had definitely given his

resignation to President Eisenhower. This came after unconfirmed
reports said he would be granted
an indefinite leave by the University or would try for a nine-ye- ar
appointment to the TVA governing board.
Dr. Welch's current TVA appointment would expire in May,
1960, if he kept it. He would then
be eligible for reappointment for
another full term of nine years.
In Washington, both of Kentucky's senators expressed hope
that Dr. Welch would retract his
resignation after the president's
statement. While not definitely a
guarantee that he would receive
Sen. John
the reappointment,
Cooper said the presiSherman
dent's statement "certainly indicates that he would want Dr.
Welch to stay on (at TVA) beyond
May, 1960."

If Dr. Welch were to remain at
TVA until 1960, he would have to
give up his University retirement
benefits. Both Sen. Cooper and Sen.
Thruston Morton said the decision
was now up to Dr. Welch.
The president, noting the decision Dr.
Welch wold have to
make, said:
"I don't know whether we could
persuade Dr. Welch to stay longer,
but I would say this I would very
much hope that he would, and if I
knew what considerations would,
influence him, I would use them.
"But, actually." Eisenhower continued, "I believe he has to go
back to the University or he has
lost a very favorable position in
his retirement opportunities. And
I think that would be a serious
question for him."
Dr. Welch discussed his situation
Monday
with Gerald Morgan,
White House aide who handles the
problem of filling jobs. Morgan apparently went as far as he could in
assuring Dr. Welch he could continue with TVA after May, 1960.

Marlboros he knew full well. He knew that anyone who smoked

Perhaps the best recommendation
for the University's
humor
book is that J.hc jokes have to be
lived. Simply glancing through it reveals no funny pictures, stories, etc.
Only experience proves its wit.
However, to guard against the
book's becoming too funny, secret
bulletins, entitled "schedule changes,"
are circulated periodically among the
faculty. But even so, hilarity is preserved.
No, we don't have a campus humor
magazine but then, .who needs one?
There's always the schedule book.

this type of story has been mentioned:
that of a man being marooned somewhere, anywhere, with no less than a
dozen fair maidens who: 1. either exalt
him as a white god and submit to his
every whim; 2. or who take him prisoner
and torture him in a fate worse than
death, by forcing him to father a child
for each of the whole passel of his female

It is well that this innovation is coming about, too, for there reportedly was

Man's Pornography," or "Him."
It is no wonder that men some quiet

Consider the titles of some of the
