Senate Minority Leader Cites Career
Of Statesman, Former Vice President
The late Albcn W. Barkley,
Kentucky statesman and vice
president of the United States,
was culogicd Tuesday afternoon
by his close friend and Senate
colleague Everett M. Dirksen.
Sen. Dirksen, Senate minority
leader, cited Barkley's rise from
a farm boy to the country's second highest office as being "in
the finest of American political
tradition" The Illinois Republican was the principal speaker
at a memorial convocation here
honoring Barkley.
Praise of Barkley also was
given by Gov. Edward T. Breathitt and UK President John W.
Oswald. A replica of the Barkley statue which stands in the
Capitol rotunda at Frankfort
was unveiled at the convocation,
which was attended by over 5,000
persons in Memorial Coliseum.
Sen. Dirksen recalled Bark-ley'- s
career as fanner, court reporter, county attorney, county
judge, a member of both Howes
of Congress and vice president
under President Harry Truman.

Regarding

today's generation

as full of people always going
places, Sen. Dirksen said Barkley "never lost the homespun

touch." He also had the Lincoln
touch of humility, and he could
tell an appropiiate story to anchor a particular truth, Sen.
Dirksen added.

Barkley, a Democrat, also was
cited as being a reformer, a
dreamer and a man of principle.
Sen. Dirksen said Barkley's resignation in 1944 as Senate majority leader because an important tax bill was vetoed demonstrated devotion to principle.
Tributes to Barkley, both serious and sincere, were delivered
with a certain amount of levity.
Sen. Dirksen noted he occupies
the same office which Barkley
held for two years as Senate
minority leader and also has the
same chauffeur.
Members of the Barkley famattending the convocation included his son, David M. Bark,
ley, two sisters, Mrs. Irma D.

Brown and Mrs. William Til-matwo grandsons and a
nephew. The Barkley statue,
which will be placed in the Barkley Room at the Margaret I.
King Library, was unveiled by
the statesman's granddaughter,
Mrs. Dorothy Barkley Holloway.
Recordings of Barkley's voice
were played at the convocation.
Included was a recording of his
last words before his death April
SO, 1956 in Lexington, Va. Members of the Barkley family became somewhat emotional as they
heard the statesman say, "I
would rather be a servant in the
House of the Lord than sit in
the seats of the mighty."
The Barkley family and Sen.
Dirksen were honored throughout the day Tuesday. A luncheon was held for special guests
prior to the convocation, and a
reception was held in the Barkley Room of the library after the
program.
Sen. Dirksen drew widespread
attention to the Barkley program. He arrived at Blue Crass
Field about 1 p.m. Tuesday,
where he was greeted by Gov.
Breathitt, Dr. Oswald and about
75 spectators.
About 80 students crowded
around the Senator as he entered the Student Center for the
luncheon. He paused, shook
hands and signed autographs.
Sen. Dirksen was initiated as an
honorary member of Omicron
Delta Kappa following the

Indonesian Diplomat
Talks Here Saturday

The Indonesian ambassador to the United States, Lambert us
Palar, will be in Lexington for a brief visit Saturday.
Purpose of his visit is to talk to PERMIAS, an organization
representing Indonesian students in the U.S. He will be guest at
a luncheon which will be attended by University officials.
He will be accompanied by the embassy's cultural attache,
Mr. Indrosoegondho. Mr. Palar is the former Indonesian ambassador to the United Nations.
UK graduate student in mechanical
Ariono Abdulkadir,
engineering, is president of the UK chapter of PERMIAS, which
has its regional headquarters in Bloomington, Ind.
Ariono said that the ambassador will arrive from Washington at
Blue Crass Field at 10:20 a.m. and is scheduled to appear before
the Indonesian student organization at 10:30 in the Presbyterian
Student Center on Hose Street.
The luncheon, from 12:20 to 1:20, will be followed Ly a reception.
Ariono said that a press conference featuring the ambassador will
be held from about 2:35 until shortly after 3:00 p.m. if there is a
request for it.
Indonesian students who are attending other colleges in the
central area of the U.S. will be present for the ambassador's visit.
About 80 Indonesian students currently are attending classes
at the University.

Art Students Hold Meeting;
Discuss 'Policy Statement9
In

their first

organization
meeting Monday night, art students complained about the
omittance of sculpture for the
coming summer session, and discussed their recent "policy statement."
In a subsequent meeting with
Richard B. Freeman, head of the
art department, a delegation of
art students discovered no one
has been hired to replace Fred
Sauls, sculpture instructor, who
resigned recently.
The students' overall aim is
to promote the organization of a
better department to achieve a
better art community in Lexington which will support them as
students and strengthen their
chances of being accepted at
quality graduate schools.
John Henry, senior art
shaking for the group,
said, "We, as students, aren't
concerned with entering into a
dialogue with faculty members
over differences, but are in favor
of the instructors getting together for the betterment of the
stu-den- t,

department.
"No one can say that the
is
problem with the department
due to student apathy, because
we are definitely an organized
group with considerable mem

bership which well represents the
students in our department."
Commenting on the Centennial program, James Woods,
senior art student stated, "The
Centennial program hasn't had
much to do with arts. I don't
know of one artist invited here
for the Centennial. No painter
or sculptor was invited at all.
"There was so much money
involved, and with all this
'dough' all they did was buy a
jointing of a wildcat. Of all the
things to do with that much

money. The painter was the
University artist in residence,
but nobody in the department
knew him. When anyone called
for him, we referred them to the
zoology department."
Both Woods and Henry said
the policy statement, previously
referred to as a petition, drawn
up by the students last week was
not meant to be signed as a petition, but served to get the students an appointment with Dean
Nagel of the Arts and Sciences
College.

Students Get Warning
Of Insurance 'Gimmicks'
The State Department of Insurance has issued a warning to
students today to beware of
"gimmicks" offered by insurance
agents.
Three illegal insurance practices, the Department said, are
being carried on, on college and
university campuses:
The agent gives students
money for names of other students
interested in purchasing life insurance.
The agent promises students
investment stock or some other

inducement if life insurance is
purchased.
The agent allows students
to sign promissory notes for the
premium on insurance, assuring
that dividends and policy in
crements
will take care of
payment of the note.
of
The State Department
Insurance emphasized the il- legality of these practices, and
requested students approached
by agents in the above ways to
contact the Department at Old
Capitol Annex in Frankfort.

'Miss Nellie' Honored After 45 Years;
'Her Boys' Respond With Gifts, Letters
There was the boy whose
father had died. The son, in his
despair and discouragement, was
ready to quit school. But first he
dropped around to talk it over
with "Miss Nellie." She talked
him into staying and he went on
to get his degree.
"Miss Nellie, I'm having
trouble in typing class and I
think I ought to drop it," another
student said. "Stay," was Miss
Nellie's advice.
During the Korean Conflict
Miss Nellie received a letter from
Korea:
"I was up on the front lines,"
the soldier wrote, "and they
needed somebody back at headquarters who could type. I want
to thank you, Miss Nellie, for
making me stay in typing class."
The soldier now is an area extension agent for the University.
Saturday, Miss Nellie was
remembered by nearly 200 of her
"boys" and colleagues in the UK
Department of Dairy Science.
The occasion was the retirement of Miss Nellie Lawrence

To Present 'Soiree Dramatique'

French Theater Group Forms
Drama enthusiasts will soon
get a taste of the French stage
with the presentation of "La
Sioree Dramatique," directed by
Roger Bensky, visiting lecturer
in the Department of Modern
Languages.
The cast consists mostly of
graduate students in the foreign
language department and is tentatively scheduled to be presented
in late January. Mr. Bensky, who
is doing doctoral work at the
Sorbonne in Paris, instigated the
project and hopes it will be a
stepping stone to a permanent
group of French expression on
the UK campus.
"La Soiree Dramatique" consists of two parts. First, there
will be a dramatic reading of
French poetry. The second part
of the program will be a play,
"La Societe Apollon", by Jean
Tardieu, a contemporary avant-gard- e
playwright.
work
The theme of the one-a- ct
is a savage parody on modern
art snobs. It will be performed
in a highly stylized manner reminiscent of the theatre of the
absurd.

"This is a good way of creating

group activities
domain of Modem Foreign Languages," says Bensky. "I feel
that it is not only an important
way of encouraging cultural expression, but also a very important pedigogical tool."
Bensky's intense interest in
French drama stems from a life
long passion for the stage and a
love of the French language.
At the University of Western
Australia he was an actor and

* "Wc Did Shoot One Down, Hut We Were Sure
It Was A Stuffed Dove"

We See No Favoritism
A Kernel reader charged last
week in a letter to the editor that
the appointment of former UK

trustee Gilbert Kingsbury to the
post of assistant vice president for
University Relations involved creation of a job for a "political hack."
We feel the reader was unjust
in his accusations. The post of
director of public relations, one of
the positions Mr. Kingsbury will
hold, has been vacant for more than
two years with an acting director
filling the post in the interuni. The
assistant vice presidency was created and included in the budget
more than a year ago.
Mr. Kingsbury is perhaps one of
the most qualified persons in the
state for the public relations job,
showing a record of 32 years experience in journalism and broadcasting. He was an executive of the
Crosley Broadcasting Company.
He was a member of the Board
of Trustees and therefore is familiar
with the University and needs no

"backgrounding" before stepping
into the position.
Much of Mr. Kingsbury's time,
we realize, w ill be spent as a lobbyist. We feel it justified, though,
that the University's voice be heard
in Frankfort and feel Mr. Kingsbury will be a qualified spokesman
for UK.

t

'

It makes good political sense to
appoint someone with a background
linked to the Democratic party to
work with a predominantly Democratic legislature and administration. But this is hardly justification for labeling his appointment
a "political favor."
In his position with the Kentucky Better Roads Council and in
supporting the bond issue, Mr.
Kingsbury has shown his ability to
work effectively with bipartisan
groups.
We think this was an excellent
appointment and find no evidence
of political favoritism in the
selection.

Reader Blasts Kernel 's Stand On Vietnam Policy
of

To the Editor
the Kernel:
You state with no facts given in

support that victory in Vietnam
cannot be achieved "in the conventional sense' (whatever that
means) and is "incomprehensibly
foolish."
The war will be dirty, messy, and
long, particularly if LBJ continues
his halfway measures, but it can be
won. If Southeast Asia is not to fall
to Communist agression andor subversion, we must win it. As Dr.
Stefan T. Possony of Stanford said,
"Vietnam is not an isolated engagement but the key to Communist'
Expansion in Asia."
Nor is Red China likely to enter
into a direct conflict with the U.S.
Her military technology is superficial and she hovers on the brink of
famine. Dr. Possony said, "Such a
step would be suicidal."
Although the Kernel sees negotiation as the universal panacea, Will
Rogers once said: "History shows
the U.S. hasneverlostawar.orwon
a conference." To Soviet or Chinese
are
Communists,
negotiations

Yale And Columbus

It is pleasing to note that Cambridge, Massachusetts, council-meamong others have rejected
the recently published map and
story by Yale scholars indicating
that America was discovered at
least 50 years prior to the arrival
of Columbus in 1492. Unfortunately, the rejection appears to
be for the wrong reasons.
Scholarship at Yale and elsewheresuggests that a rather considerable number of people who
came to be called Indians, as well
as others called Eskimoes, had
managed to "discover" America a
short while earlier, say maybe
25,000 years. Captain Cook, likewise, "discovered" the Hawaiian
Islands in 1779, though his discovery was somewhat marred by the
fact that the Hawaiians had
managed to arrive there several
hundred years earlier from other
parts of Polynesia.
The "Age of Discovery" was a
marvelous one for Europeans, for
they managed to find a whole
series of areas and continents
"discovered" much earlier by all
of the varied indigenous peoples.

Military Display

Since we do not know to whom in

the administration
address this query, we thought it
best to ask the question publicly
in the hope that it will receive a
public answer by the appropriate
official of the University administration.
We are disturbed by the fact

such practice results in unnecessary
destruction of the grass there.
Secondly, there are other more appropriate places for such activity,
i.e., the athletic fields between
Stoll Field and the Student Center.
Third, and most important, such a
display of militarism seems to be
incompatible with the main purpose of an academic institution,
increased enlightenment such that
man can solve his problems in the
most rational manner possible.
Why can't the war games be

specifically reserved for games?

POLITICAL SCIENCE

Editorials Criticized
Two recent editorials prompt
this letter.
The antilogism of the first editorial went: Following football
games, dances, etc., one sees many
liquor bottles scattered about; thus
it is evident that the law designed
to preclude drinking on campus is
not being enforced. Therefore, let
us be realistic and abolish the law.
then it is

to say: One sees
members of minority groups who
are not afforded equal opportunity:
thus it is evident that the laws

designed to ensure equal opportunity are not being enforced: therefore let us be realistic and abolish
such laws.
The second editorial quotes two
approxicollege administrators
mately as follows: "The same thing
can happen at 10:45 as well as
11:45" and "I believe just as many
would get pregnant if we only let
them out one hour a day." These
opinions are given as evidence for
the futility of prescribing hours for
female students.
The editorial was not clear
whether the above information concerning sexual behavior was meant
to relate to the question of the
primary purpose of a university,
the maturity of female students,
double standards, or "the wish of
the majority."
In a somewhat more serious
vein, such grossly naive attempts
to present kindergarten logic and
blatant opinion as persuasive facts
raises the question whether the
Kernel staff is aware of the extent
to which a large segment of its
reading public disdain such tactics.

Admittedly editorials are an important and necessary part of the
university system, and it is certainly hoped that nothing said here
will be otherwise construed.

an intellectual group such as we
have here on this campus, they
would be more effective if emotion
could be tempered with a bit more
rationality and organization?

Ohio Regents May Set Limit
On Enrollment At Columbus
Regents at Ohio State University are considering setting a
15,000 limit on student enrollment
at the institution's main campus
in Columbus.
In its Provisional Master Flan
for Higher Education in Ohio
released last spring, the Regents
recommended a 40,000 limit on
enrollment.
The limit would not include
students enrolled in night programs, extention programs, or at

branches throughout the state.
