The graying professor, who recently grew a
moustache (an idiosyncracy which he indulges in
every now and then), bought the statue while he
was a student In Florence, Italy.
Besides collecting relics on his travels, the
historian enjoys cultivating 30 roses, all of which
he solemnly swears are "fragrant" (there are some
varieties, the professor says that are not aromatic).
Moreover, he enjoys reading romantic literature, golfing, and playing tennis, a sport which
he quietly admits is quickly fading into his past
experience. Although his hobbles are numerous
enough to keep him busy, his professional activities
far outweigh them.

culmination of 15 years of research and writing.
He began the book under a Guggenheim Re

Calif. His principal source of material came from
manuscripts housed In university libraries throughout the South, Including many found In the
Margaret I. King Library.
The publication of the work made a television

University President Frank G.
Dickey yesterday discussed the
Commis- Kentucky Educational
sion's proposal to establish four
junior colleges for the teaching of
two-yetechnical programs.
Dr. Dickey addressed a Joint
luncheon meeting of the Harlan
Kiwanis and Lions Clubs.
He stated that it was not neces- sary to establish new institutions
when a framework for both two- year technical programs and the
usual four-yeprogram could be
realized with a single institution,
such as UK.
The president pointed out that
Kentucky must devise a flexible
educational program with three
tech- of training: two-yetraining to prepare
young people for
the regular four-yea- r
programs for preparing engineers,
teachers, and other professionals;
doctoral programs
and seven-yea- r

for potential scientists, scholars,
and philosophers.
"Graduated, flexible educational
programs would educate all stu- dents to the highest possible level
from which they are able to
profit." Dr. Dickey said,
Because the necessary equip- ment for instruction in some sci- ence courses is so expensive, work
in them cannot te offered at all
In small Institutions, he stated,
"If there is an advantage one
way or the other, it lies with the
large institution, since it ordin- arily is able to provide the instruc- tor with more and better tools,
libraries, laboratories, and the like,
ls
to help him to do better
counciling and guidance,"
dent Dickey pointed out.
The president concluded by
ing thut through extension and
service units, the research findings
and knowledge of the faculty are
brought to the state's people.

Farm Boys

Make Good
Lnst night Farmhouse fraternity
squelched an old adage and proved
that boys "from down on the
farm" aren't really so dumb.
Farmhouse fraternity, composed
mainly of men studying agricul
ture, became the first holder of
the Interfraternity Council Scholarship trophy. The trophy is to be
presented annually to the fraternity with the highest grade average.
The 25 members of Farmhouse
averaged 2.6 in UK's four-poiscale during the spring semester.
Jim Young, president of the fraternity, accepted the award from
Bill Cooper, IFC vice president, at
the regular Tuesday night meeting
of IFC.
Cooper said the IFC program
was started to encourage high
scholarship among the Greeks.
Clark Cleveland, a Junior agriculture major, commented about
the fraternitys reaction on receiving the trophy. He said: "We're
glad to have won, and we aim to
keep it."
The 2.6 average was
of a point higher than the
average and four-tentof a point higher than the
average.

For amounts from $25 to $75. the
approval of the finance committee

The approval of the congress is
recommended for expenditures

Daniels pointed out that the cost
of the special projects he will propose to the congress for consideration will greatly exceed the allotted $1,739.30.
Projects to be submitted for consideration include a book by Dr.
Amry Vandenbosch, director of the
Patterson School of Diplomacy, to
be used as a text in social studies
by Kentucky high schools. The
book would discuss those events in
world history which have occurred
the close of World War II
and their effect on present and
future events.
The congress will be asked to
consider the development of a
summer working plan in Washington,' designed primarily for political science and journalism majors! The University would be asked to arrange with government
agencies to employ the students
for the summer. SC would then
provide a grant to aid these students with expenses.

* UK's New Age Of Bikes
In tin past two or throe years, tlio
University lias been having growing
pains ami signs of these growing
pains can he seen everywhere. Newspapers arc full of increased budgets,
the campus is covered with piles of
dirt, and noises from heavy equipment are heard at all hours of the day.
One of the less obvious signs of
growth is the new interest in bicycles.
A few years ago bicycles were so
scarce that someone who owned one
was considered by many persons to
be a little odd.
Recently, however, students and
faculty members are becoming accustomed to seeing bicycles ami everyone is becoming quite proficient at
dodging them as they silently swish
down the campus sidewalks. The
clicking sound of a bickcle chain
against a chain guard is enough to
cause a reflex action. The student's
feet simply carry him to one side out
of the way.

Ricycles are getting popular with
professors as well as students. Kven
though professors get free parking
permits, many of them ride their
bicycles in good weather to avoid
traffic and parking problems,
of the recent growth of the
campus, students arc finding it more
difficult to get from one side of the
campus to the other in the 10 minutes they are allowed. If the campus
spreads out much more it may even
be necessary to increase the time between classes.
Students living off the campus are
riiling bicycles because it is cheaper
than driving, and many times they
have to park four or five blocks
from their first class.
Most people welcome the thought
of a growing University, but look at
the changes it could cause. UK might
well become a bicycle school like
some of those in the North.

Egghead Athletes
Last semester's grades show that
UK football players are good students
as well as good athletes.
Records show that this year's
starting team made a grade-poiaverage of 2.6 last semester and seven
of the 11 starters had a 3.0 standing
or better.
Dr. William E. McCubbin, associate professor of physical education, said the tutoring system for the
football team helped their grades.
Dr. McCubbin is in charge of the
tutoring program.
There are 18 tutors who meet with
the players three nights each week for
two hours. The tutors are mostly
graduate students and seniors who
have been approved by the heads of
the departments of their majors.
All football players who have a

V

are required to
attend study periods which are currently being held in the Albert B.
2.3 standing or lower

Chandler Medical Center.
Dr. McCubbin said the overall
grade point average of the squad was
equal to or better than the
average last year.
Academic background as well as
football ability is considered before
freshmen are awarded scholarships.
As freshmen, tbe players are given
the College Qualification Test, a personality test, an IQ test, and reading
tests.
If UK players can be used as an
example, we can no longer think of
football players as being the giants
who boot the leather on Saturdays.
Hopefully, we may some day be able
to call them "eggheads" along with
the members of Phi Beta Kappa.

jrV,

Mric,

See Ytm've Started Your liotnb Shelter,

Are U.S. Tests Needed?
In recent days there have l)een
ominous, though not unexpected,
rumblings from President Kennedy,
the Atomic Energy Commission, and
various other agencies and persons
concerned with the nuclear testing
program.
In the wake of the Soviet nuclear
tests there has been violent criticism
heaped upon them for the polution
of the air and violating the rather
shaky confidence other nations have
had in them.
In the end, Russia has shown its
true colors.
It is estimated that the fallout
from the recent tests will affect the
next 10 generations.
Along with the wholesale condemnation of the Communist testings, the United States has announced
that we will do our testing underground, thus avoiding the contamination of the atmosphere.
As the Khrushchev gang kept exploding its lx)inbs, we set off a few
small tests and scoffed at the idea

for the nerd of bigger bombs.
It has been stated more than once
that the United States has an adequate
stockpile of nuclear weapons and that
to have biggr r bombs is just a waste
of time and money.
But what has happened?
In the past week President Kennedy has announced that the United
States may resume atmospheric testing.
The logic behind this decision is
not readily apparent. If the U. S.
has an adequate amount of nuclear
capability, as has been said, there is
no reason to resume atmospheric
testing.
It seems that any kind of a propaganda victory the. J. S. may have
won by not testing in the atmosphere
will be lost.
It has been said that "two wrongs
don't make a right." Just because the
Communists are contaminating the
air, food, and water that is necessary
for life is no reason for the U. S. to
do the same.

Stalin's Fall Will Not Soften Soviet Policy

By JAMES BARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
The Russian
WASHINGTON
people must now go through a revulsion and revolution in their thinking after seeing Stalin excoriated and
his body hauled from the shrine beside Lenin.
The result should be creation of
a new skepticism alout the absolute
lightness of their Communist leadership and a softening of the party's
rigid control over their minds.
But it does not follow this will
mean a softening in Russian foreign
policy or any lessening of Premier
Khrushchev's demands on Berlin. It
should be remembered the Russians
are intensely nationalistic, and have
been.
So, no matter what their doubts
about the wisdom of their leadership at home, they can be expected
to rally around the flag when their
government, communist or otherwise,
deals with foreign nations.

edict, repressions,
and reprisals practically all Russians
alive and able to read and write when
Stalin died in 1953 had been conditioned into acceptance, muted or
ecstatic, of his wisdom, Tightness,
goodness, and communist sanctity.
Now Khrushchev and others in
the leadership have revealed Stalin
his
as a pathological monster who-- by
By propaganda,

excesses, misuse of power, and
was in effect an enemy
of the people and a betrayer of the
revolution.
From these belated disclosures the
Russian people can draw only one
conclusion: they'd been had. They had
been bamboozled by Stalin and since
his death until now by Khrushchev
and others who withheld the truth
from them.
They cannot avoid feeling like
fools when they remember how by
the millions since 1953 they stood in
long lines to see the body of this
man who had become as much their
"little father" as any czar.
This will compel them to a more
questioning and critical evaluation
of the actions and pronouncements
of their leadership! It demonstrates
how propaganda can delude them. To
this extent the revelations about Stalin
are a liberalizing force. The leadership had to realize this before it permitted the denunciations.
Ironically, Stalin himself had set
loose the most liberalizing force of
all with the broad educational system created in his lifetime. No doubt
he felt strict party control could keep
it in hand.
But controlling the millions of
illiterate peasants whom he and
Lenin inherited when they made their
revolution stick is not the same as
brainwashing an educated people, al

though Stalin did pretty well at it.
The more the education, the
broader the intellectual class. The
greater the intellectuality, the more
the questioning, quietly or openly, of
what the government does, particularly when government controls tend
to be medieval.
Sooner or later, therefore, there
had to be a loosening up in Russia.
There is no reason to think it wouldn't
continue.
But when nationalism gets involvedas it will in Russia's relations
emotionalism
with other countries
begins to affect the judgment of intellectuals and peasants alike.
For this reason it would be wishful
thinking to believe a slackening of
party control at home means a softening of Russian policy abroad, particularly when it involves Russia's
enemy, Germany.

In this country there are political
disagreements over domestic policies,
but intellectuals and
alike close ranks against any outside
force, like Russia, when they think
America's vital interests are at stake.
Khrushchev no doubt had many
reasons for disenchanting Russians
about Stalin. Some obv ious ones come
to blind:
To silence the Communist Party
members who criticized him for not
Ining more like Stalin at a time when
he felt he needed new methods; to
rebuke the Stalinist Red Chinese who
now must criticize the entire Russian
Communist Party, not just Khrushchev; perhaps to give the masses of
the 220 million Russian people a
greater sense of participation in the
decisions of the Russian Communist
Party which numbers only 9.7 million
members.

Hayward and John Gavin.
This Is the most unbelievable
panoramic, clnetnascopic version
th
of the
soap opera that
surely can be found on American
movie screens this week.
One need not wonder where they
dug this script up. It apparently
just floated out of the blue it is
a natural composite of all the
melodrama of the past hundred
years In television.
Be sure to bring your lunch, for
you will wonder if this thing has
an ending. But when the ending
finally does appear you will see
that It meets all the requirements
and you could have gone home
scenes before.
John Oavin, of course, is a bit
too much the dashing young college hero to play opposite stable,
mature, veteran Susan Hayward.
But they fixed that by graying
his forelock.
Oavin, as Paul Saxon, a chain
capitalist, is in his usual role,
but Susan Hayward's condescension to this part is surprising. She
plays a top fashion designer, Rae

for justifying the luxurious display of apartments, new cars, and
pretty things that are sure to sell
the movie.
This Is the great American love

Alas and anon, she discovers that
he is married and she tries to
call the whole thing off. But Inevitably they run Into each other,

The wife won't give the husband a divorce, because he is
security for her; the other woman
won't see him until her love for
him overcomes the extraneous fact
of his marriages; the children

are sent away for their health; the

The accident kills the wife, and
the husband is left dangling to a

course, has to die. It would be
tacky for Susan Hayward to be
left with an irreparable invalid.
In the end all she has left are
her lover's children.
Vera Miles, as the drunkard wife
of Paul Saxon, and the
who wears the fes are the only
enlightening spots of the movie.
The rest of the actors are reduced
to a number of character parts
recognizable in dozens of movies.
