Annual Alumni Seminar To Be May

Communications, 1960" will be the subject of the third annual
Alumni Seminar, sponsored by the UK Alumni Association, which will
be held May 27 and 28.
The purpose of the seminar is to explore what the public expects
and wants from communications media by panel discussions and talks
by distinguished media leaders.
The association feels that the mass media "have generally been no
freer nor more responsible than the society they serve has required
them to be," and that if the media have not known exactly what the
public wanted, perhaps it Is because the public has not actually
known itself.
Major speakers for the two-da- y
session will be Don Whitehead, a
198 graduate of I K, author of "The I'M Story," and winner of two
1'ulitzer Prizes; John F. Day Jr., vice president of CHS News and
former managing editor of the Louisville Courier-Journa- l.

ing editor of Look magazine; John E. McMillin, executive editor of

"Seeking the Balance" is the title of a panel discussion and open
forum, scheduled twice on Friday. Moderator of the Friday session
will be Dr. Niel Plummer. director of UK's School of Journalism. Bill
Ladd,
editor and critic for the Louisville Courier-Journwill serve as moderator for the final session.
Oilbert Kingsbury, vice president for public relations of the Cros-le- y
Broadcasting Corporation and former assistant dean at the University of Cincinnati, will moderate a panel entitled "Communications,
19G0: Where is the Balance Between Freedom and Responsibility," the
final discussion of the meeting.

Study By UK Could Lead
To Creating New Towns
preliminary study which could
eventually lead to legislation setting up machinery to create new
towns in economically undeveloped Eastern Kentucky will be made
by UK this summer.
Prof. Charles P. Graves, head of
the architectural curriculum at
UK, will serve as leader of the
project financed by a $1,350 grant
from the Kentucky Research
Foundation.
The project, which could have a
effect on bringing
new industry into the area, was
announced by Dr. Merl Baker, executive director of the KRF.
The new towns would provide a

the attractions, advantages, and
stimuli necessary for economic opportunities now available in the
reu'ion. Graves said.
Graves will be assisted in the

* Cataloguing Colleges
An English professor at Brooklyn
College has unleashed a strong criticism of American colleges and
touched off a scries of editorials in
campus newspapers all over the

country.
Writing in the April issue of
Harper's magazine, David Horoff
says that it is just possihle "college
professors and students are actors in
a vast comedy, a mad travesty of
solemn ritual, wasted times, and
claims."
Boroff takes swings at nearly
every phase of college life including
trumped-u- p

the curriculum, administration, professors, extracurricular activities,
scholarly journals, and stagnant educational ideas.
For example, he writes about college curricula:
"All too orten universities are
simply research factories with little
relationship to that bold exercise of
ideas which should be the peculiar
genius of an institution of higher
learning."
About administrators: "They are
likely to be smiling, smiling products
of teachers college or some other
emporium of inane good will and
All too frequently,
they are undereducated themselves."
Professors: "If his status is high,
his income still is low probably a few
well-roundedne-

cuts lower, on the average than that
of a member of the Teamsters' Union.
The professor's characteristic bearing
is one of dignified
"
But Borofl's most introspective, if
not most disturbing view embraces
the individual student. lie asks how
many college graduates are significantly shaped by their experience in
school, how many have developed the
habit of disciplined thinking, and
how many are, by decent standards,
well educated.
His answer? Very few.
Since the launching of the first
Russian Sputnik spurred the U.S.
from its throes of complacency over
education, BorofTs article has been
probably the most caustic condemnation of American higher education. He
has assailed the nation's colleges in
some of their most sensitive spots.
Boroff suggested that colleges improve by striving to enlarge students'
imagination and give students a
chance for more independent work.
The leap to excellence, he emphasizes,
will nevertheless require the strong
will of the nation's colleges.

The Readers' Foru
'Power' Politics
To The Editor:
I read with interest the account
of SC's
battle over
a constitution. Mr. Odear's efforts are
to be commended since he and his
followers are the first group to make
a serious bid at a liberal revival on
the Tightest UK campus.
every-other-ye-

ar

Again, however, we see that those

who are overly concerned with such
things as "power" have apparently
won another battle.
I know about these battles because
I saw two student government forms
fail in four years.
They failed because SC or whatever you want to call it was saddled
to organizations. The sense of the individual was lost in the whims of a
Greek group or some other "powerful" group.
We need now, or we needed then,
a political system in which individual
rather than the "group" plays the
biggest part.
UK's political parties are a prime
example of dominance by the "group."
SC's problem is simple yet most
are blind to it. It isn't an "SC" problem at all. UK is so tound up by
conflicting governing groups that no
one gives an inch. Student government must be centralized and the
constitution must not just govern the
group, "SC." It must be a governing
force for all groups the students at
UK.

This central governing group
should have the power to appropriate
funds to all student groups (all who
annually receive any money from tuition fees). It should have the power
to raise its own money by setting
up savings funds which draw interest.
In short, the power must be
broad, but alxne all, the government
must be centralized.
And, oh yes, someone ought to

ask Mr. Odear to run for SC president.
Who else is there?

Suggestions Wanted
To The Editor:
There is a good possibility that
funds may be available soon for the
construction of the first addition to
the University's general library. In
view of this possibility, a preliminary
building program is now being drawn
up.
There is a faculty Library Building Committee consisting of the following members: Dr. A. D. Kirwan,
Graduate School dean; Dr. A. L.
Cooke, English Department;
Dr.
Stephen Diachun, University Honors
Program; Dr. Herbert Riley, Botany
Department; Dr. E. F. Hartford, College of Education; and Dr. E. M.
Spokes, Department of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineering. This committee, together with the staff of the
university libraries, will be primarily
responsible for drawing up a program for the first addition.
Although responsibility for a library building rests with the committee and the library staff, every member of the University community is
invited to participate in our work.
Ideas and suggestions should be submitted to any member of the committee or of the professional library
staff. Anyone who wishes to present
a suggestion to the committee or to
listen to the discussions and participate in them is welcome to attend the
meetings.
The tentative drawings showing
the area to be occupied by the proposed first addition and minutes of
the meetings of the Library Building
Committee are available for consultation in the office of the director of libraries, and all interested teachers,
students, readers, and friends of the
library are invited to study them.

Director of Libraries

Teensy Weensy TV Twak
By JOHN ALLAN MAY

Christian Science
LONDON' Advertising agents, as
everybody who watches commercial television knows, have made a revolutionary
discovery about what a certain comic
character would call human beans.
It is that human beans are most impressed by baby talk.
An agent wants, let us say, to persuade us to go out and buy some steel
girders. All right then. On comes a
funny little character moppet with ribbons in her hair. She hails a kangaroo
that happens to be p issing. "To Dickie,
Tommy, and Uneoo Stanwies," she says,
hopping al)oard. "As fast as fast as fast!"
She giggles, simpers, and turning
full to the camera, confides in us', "Daddy
said I got to get dere quickwy ease dcy
wnn out, 'cos Dickie, Tommy and I'neoo
Stanwies make de best steel girders in
all tie whole wide world."
The kangaroo takes off and in a
single bound goes into orbit. Apparcntlv
Richard, Thomas, and R.tldwins are
opening a place on the moon.
When baby talk is all used up for
the day, the adertising aent will go on
winning friends and influencing people
with confiding Mummy talk. "We all
want our husbands to grow up," Mummy
confides in a soft cooing voice, apparently right into the ear of the cameraman, "strong and
