Vice President for Business
Affairs Robert Kerlcy told the
Board that construction and re-

construction on the Lexington
campus would roughly amount
to $26 million, and on the community college campuses $19 million. An additional $1,275,000
should go for planning.
Kerlcy outlined five basic
methods of financing the construction:
1. Sale of
Tnistee-authorize- d

bonds.
2. Interim Financing
3. Securing guaranteed

bids

from bonding houses.

Application of funds available to the trustees.
5. Application of funds available from the statewide bond

Credit Union
Assets Jump
To $300,000
By RALPH WESLEY

Everything from typing doctoral thesis to emergency medical expenses, everyone from part
time janitors to Orthopedic Surgeons are included in the University's Credit Union plan.
Like all such organizations
the University Credit Union is
a saving and lending organization operated on a nonprofit
basis. Any person employed even
part time by the University is
eligible for membership.
Since the election of Dr. John
Redman as treasurer and general
manager in 1961 the organization has increased its assets and
total membership by eight times.
Last year loans to members increased by over 20 percent.
Any employee who pays a
25 cent membership fee and purchases a minimum $5 share is
eligible to borrow from the organization. Many graduate students who are employed by the
University as laboratory assistants or graders often borrow
to finance typing their doctoral
thesis, tuition, or books.

includes two Certified Public Accountants. A credit committee
approves all loans.
The treasurer and general
manager of the organization, Dr.
Redman, is well known as a
member of the board of directors
of Credit Union International.
He was elected last October to
serve as vice president of the
board of trustees of the Kentucky Credit Union League.
Despite rapid growth the
credit union is significantly hampered because the University
comptroller has refused to allow
contributions by payroll deduction, an almost universal feat
of credit unions.
"With payroll deduction,"
predicts Dr. Redman, "we could
expand (from $300,000) to over
$1 million in assets before the
end of the year."
Lexington's IBM credit union,
similar to the University in the
number involved, income, and
other relevant economic aspects,
tends to substantiate Dr. Redman's prediction on payroll deductions and credit union growth.
After payroll deduction was
added there, the IBM union assets shot from less than $500,000
to $5 million.

Significant Discussion
committee of 10 faculty men
frankly disturbed disturbed
about the emphasis placed on violence in contemporary America.
They have organized an unofficial Committee on Peace Education and Research. Monday night
they presented the first of seven
seminars intended to investigate
as a philosophy oflife
and to examine it in terms of its
place in the twentieth century
world. One by one these seminars
will examine various facets of both
violence and
the personality traits common to each,
rationale for both, testimony from
a
worker, and peace
research as an academic discipline.

The program is extensive and
shows promise as being one of the
most stimulating series of seminars
at the University this year. Monday's seminar, slated as "Basic
Precepts," deserves commendation.
While it bore some criticism as
intellectually light weight, or perhaps slightly "Sunday-schoolish- "
at times, nonetheless the approach

was opened to more
than 100 persons.

Lawrence Tarpey approached his subject from two
views: the
Christian
ethic and the Gandhian viewpoint
of nonviolence. Certainly, other approaches might have been taken and
other philosophies might have been
considered. However, these approaches are valid philosophically,
and they are both of considerable
importance in the modern world,
considering the Asiatic oriental
awakening in international affairs
over the last 20 years.

Lawyer's Approach
The Law School these days is
dispensing good common sense
along with its judicial instruction.
Prof. James R. Richardson reg
cently offered these
to students who
techniques
want to succeed without really
trying:
Laugh at the professor's
jokes. If the instructor looks up
with a smile on his face you know
he told a joke.
Rring newspaper clippings of
today's topic into class.
Ask for outside reading
assignments.
Read only those books in
class which appear to be the course
textbooks.
Ask questions. Only those
questions which the professor can
easily answer.
Appear alert.
Sit in the front row only if
you can remain awake.
If you must sleep during
class, arrange for a friend to wake
you up when class is over.

Further justification for the
Christian approach is that at least
of the world's population give at least lip service to the
teachings of Christ. Yet it is undeniable that these very people do

Letters To The Editor

Fans' Support Asked For Basketball Team
To the Editor of the Kernel:
This letter is for those who share
my enthusiasm for the game of basketball. Others may stop reading
at this point.
For years we have been treated
to unbelievably successful basketball teams at Kentucky. Many have
been the seasons when a defeat
was reacted to as something close
to a tragedy. Conference championships have been taken as a
matter of course and even national championships have been
something to be hoped for, if not
won, in almost any year. (I was
manager for three years and the
one year of those when we lost
five games and failed to finish
number one in the ratings was
considered at the time a pretty
bad season).
This success has had its effect
on those watching the games. Instead of being supporters and
of your schoolmates and
friends you have come to be spectators at a theatrical performance,
applauding the
plays
and clamoring for 100 points when
the score reached 90, and, I am
sorry to say, in recent years becoming less superior in sportsmanship to some of those hostile crowds
we used to criticize on our road
well-execut-

trips.
have a
for something

proposition for you
different this year.
Do you remember what exciting
I

moments this team gave you last
year? Don't those of you who
know some of these players as classmates and friends find them a
likeable bunch of fellows. Do you
want things to continue for them
as they are now?
If this can't be the year of the
best record, then let it be the year
of the best fans. Don't just show
your enthusiasm after a great play
after a scoring
or at the time-oDo what good fans need to
spree.
ut

do; encourage the team when it
needs it most.
You in the band, keep up the
good work. Cheerleaders, lead and
help the fans. You have some very
good cheers, but give up the fancy
ones which few can or will follow.
If this leaves you with "Give 'em
the Blue!", "Two bits, four bits"
and clappingyour hands in rhythm,
so be it. The main purpose of the
game is not anybody's performance, but a pleasant emotional
and athletic experience shared by
friends. This is everybody's opportunity to repay the team for
some really exciting and superior
games.
Do you believe your encouragement can have some effect? I've
been watching Kentucky for 18
years now, and I know it can, and
has. I've seen Kentucky crowds
make the difference on many occasions, and I've seen crowds on
the road do it at least as often
(and I've heard Kentucky teams
give credit to their crowds for a
win).
So what do you say? Help
the team when it's down and help
them through every game to come
this year. You and the team will
both have a successful season and
an awful lot of fun.
Hello to my friends and former

students.

The Kernel's Status
It was encouraging to read in
Kernel that the campus
newspaper has suddenly become
interested in something called

to the Kernel staff to be reminded
of their newspaper's status on campus; the Kernel is called "the
campus joke." Secondly, it should
be beneficial to be reminded why:
the Kernel's value as an information media (sic) is undermined
by its insulting presentation of
opinion, especially on the editorial
page.

These being general truths of
no great controversy,
less feel it important
an illustration, if only
fication of the Kernel

to suggest
for

the

edi-

staff. That

illustration is the editorial entitled
"Right-Win- g
Censorship" which
appeared Jan. 13.
Without going into the specific
content, let it suffice to say that
most rational people realize there
are irrational people who do irrational things.
This "truism" is employed by
the Kernel editorial staff, but with
two serious distortions: first, it
seems incorrect to suggest certain
behavior to be attributable only to
the "right-wing- "
when it is in fact
behavior found in almost any seg--'
ment of society; secondly, it is
entirely absurd to suggest that a
minority element in such a diverse
political philosophy establishes the
character of the whole. This is
all very elementary and yet such
errors seem typical in the Kernel.
The Kernel can be considered
