Further reports although unofficialindicate that the University's varsity basketball team
will make a Mediterranean tour
this summer. The Kernel has
learned that the itinerary calls
for a departure date of July 23
and a return date of August 28.
Apparently, any conflict with
Coach Adolph Rupp's schedule
of coaching clinics has been
settled. One of the stipulations
of the trip was that Rupp would
accompany the team.
Among the countries that
could probably be involved will
be Cypress, Greece, Iran, Iraq,,
and Morocco. The University
would play teams equivalent to
these country's Olympic representatives, if not the represen-

UK Receives Funds For
The University recently received $512,550 from the U.S.
Department of Health, Education and Welfare for the second
year of its participation in the
student work-stud- y
program.
This sum represents 90 percent
of a fund which will provide
more than 500 part-tim- e
jobs to
students at the University's Lexington campus and its nine community colleges. The University
will add the remaining 10 percent
from its own sources.
"Hopefully half of these jobs
will be on the Lexington campus," said Blakely Tanner, administrator of the work-stud- y

was greatly concerned with the
personal welfare of her students.
The award consists of books
on art with memorial plates
inside. The winners are chosen
on the basis of a submitted work
of art and two papers on art
history or criticism. It is felt
that the outstanding student

should be equally proficient in
theory and the studio.
The topic of one of Francis
Pattie's papers was the durability
of material in contemporary art.
This seemed more than appropriate when an electric assembly
entitled "Jack Acid 25" broke

Join in the most adventurous experiment of our time. Operation Match. Let the IBM 7090 Computer (the world's most perfect
matchmaker) stamp out blind dates for you.
Two Harvard juniors started it. 100,000 students have done it.
Now you and 3,400,000 college students in 1500 colleges in 50
cities can sign up and join in!
Just send us the coupon. We'll send you the Operation Match
Quantitative Personality Projection Test pronto!
Then return the questionnaire with $3.00. What you're like
and what you like will be translated into our 7090's memory file.
It will scan the qualifications of every member of the opposite sex
from this geographic area. Then it will select the five or more

matches best for you.
You'll receive your names, addresses and telephone numbers
within three weeks. You'll be what your date is looking for. Your
date will be what you are looking for. In other words: the matches
will be mutual.
Dear IBM 7090,

The rest of the troupe will conclude a tour

appearance.
The performers will also conduct folklore workshops from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday in Room 245
of the Student Center. Discussions will include
the history of the music and the relationship
between folk music and the social movements of

There will also be a workshop on the musical
techniques involved in performing as well as
writing songs. Participants may bring their musical
instruments. The workshops are open to the public
without charge.

J. D. Crowe, a native of Lexington, has performed professionally for 13 years, during which
he has traveled widely. He played with Jimmy
Martin in Shreveport, La. for five years, and then
spent a year in Nashville with the Crand Old
Opry.
He has also appeared at the Philadelphia Folk
Festival. He plays banjo with the group, and
sings baritone.
The other players, all Kentucky natives, include
Bob Sloane, a bass singer, playing fiddle. Sloane
performed previously with the Kentucky Colonels.
Ed Stacey, the lead singer, plays the guitar.
And Cordon Scott, a tenor, plays the mandolin.
Scott is a recent UK graduate in English. The
group has been playing together for about 7
months.

Antiquated Rule
Hopes are rising that the University may be able to leave one more
archaic link to its first century behind in elimination of the nepotism
rule. This rule now prohibits related
teachers from being hired into the
University's higher academic ranks.
As the rule stands no person related by blood or by marriage to
another faculty member may be
hired by the University to the rank
of assistant professor or higher. A
proposal now before President
Oswald seeks to restrict the limitation to prevention of the hiring
of relatives within a single academic
department and prevention of one
relative holding a supervisory position over another. A further stipulation would deny tenure to more
than one of the relatives.
Although provision is made for
the Board of Trustees to lift the
regulations in individual cases, the
proposed revision itself deserves

A Spark?
We commend the heretofore provincial Student Congress for raising
its head from the sand, joining
with such a worldly organization
as the American Association of
University Professors and sponsoring such a widely noted consultant
as Prof. William Van Alstyne, legal
expert on academic freedom for the

student.
It is encouraging to note that
Congress, which has seen its role
primarily as a doler of petty services, realizes it has some link to
this vital issue in higher education
today.
We hope Congress will continue
to undertake such ventures, and
encourage discussion of meaningful
topics both on the Congress floor
and off.

above ranks, but it does not go far
hiring
enough in liberalizing
practices.
If the University really is intent
upon becoming a great university it
must allow itself more than the opportunity to first quality scholars on
a campuswide basis. Indeed it must
lift the family fetters everywhere-ev- en
within individual units.
Recruitment and keeping the
best quality professors available is
a major administrative concern. Recruitment abilities are limited by
the arbitrary exclusion of persons
who may be related toother faculty
members. The claim that power
blocks would be set up within a department in which two relatives
taught is hard to defend, since
indication of this tendency in their
backgrounds should eliminate both
from consideration.
Perhaps the key criterion for
consideration has been raised by
law professor Paul Oberst, faculty
member of the Board of Trustees,
who suggests that departmental
chairmen consider first if the prospective teacher would have been
hired were he not related to another
faculty member or applicant for a
faculty post.
The provision that no faculty
member should be placed in a
supervisory position over another
has merit as this would produce an
obvious conflict of interest. A
blanket prohibition of related faculty members in the same department is not, however, the solution.

The very size and importance
of this American gesture (Canada
has also announced that it is sending one million tons of relief grain)
underlines many major issues. The
first is the need to speed up world
efforts to help India solve its own
food problem through more efficient
farming, greater production of
fertilizer, population limitation and
the increase in other products which
can be exchanged for food.
India's terrible crisis is also a
warning to the
nations that even their
tremendous output may not

years hence.
Again, the decisiveness of the
American action stresses, as few
other acts could, the oneness of
today's world. Asian famine was
once sighed over and then forgotten.
Today it calls forth immediate and
all-oaction. This bespeaks not
a sharper conscience but a
only
shrewder political realization that
all men's fortunes are now inextricably interwoven. Despite setbacks and shortcomings, the world
is a better, kindlier, hopefuller and

such acts as this.

Letters To The Editor :

A Kiss Is Not A Kiss
Has anyone ever considered the
many types of those affectionate
caresses, familiarly known as
kisses? Some common varieties are
the parental smooch, the library
touch (with a lot of volume), the
hurried peck, and the fish (does
not come up for air). While the
Italians kiss with their eyes
(occasionally with their hands), the
Eskimos use the ever popular nose
bit. With the Orientals the neck
is the thing (a lot of necking
around in this case), and even
the French have their own peculiar
method.
What the world needs is a universal osculation! This would end
cultural barriers, would cease confusion in mixed families, and would
stop the eternal strife between
lovers (have you ever dated an
outsider only to spend the evening
fighting on how to make out?).
The American Way is, of course,
the best the melting pot of all
romances. The U.S.A. combines
the French without the slobber,

the Italian minus the bruises, and
the fish with a fresh supply of air.
So Kissers for Reform (and some

do need it), protect your lips. Universalize and consolidate the kiss!

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Wednesday, April 20,

A HOLLOW PLACE
llilljolk Live In A World Of Their Own
Where Poverty Is A Password And Home Is Home
By JUDY GRISIIAM
Associate New s Editor
SOUTH EASTERN
is only a
password in the remote hollows of these southeastern Kentucky hills; hut that password opens
d(K)rs that anyone, save the hillfolk who call it
home, shudder to enter.
One could hardly believe that nestled ut the foot
of the scenic, beautifully-green- ,
rolling hills, are the
dwelling places which tell a part of the tragic story
of people w ho exist there.
They are a people who live in a world of their
own a world consisting of themselves and the
neighbor just over the hill. They know nothing else.
Nor do they seem to care.
As one rides two miles into the hollows on a
watery ereekbed the hillfolk call a road, one almost
understands why they go to town just "once a
yerc.
In spite of their remoteness, however, they are
a friendly people or perhaps just fearful of "outsiders." Their greetings are quick and sincere, but
few smile, and none laugh.
The outsider, who is, without exception, invited
to enter their homes, is sickened by the unspeakable
stench and the unbelieveable filth. In one typical
hill home, I, an outsider, was invited to sit in the
kitchen. I entered, taking care not to step on the
cackling hens who pecked at a sack of grain in one
corner. My eye roamed about the room, noting a
small wood cookstove at it's center, and a small
eating table to the right. There was no other furniture. On the table was the meal for the day:
beans. I gasped as
moldy cornbread and week-ol- d

The woman, who looked 90, but claimed to

be 50, stared unmercifully at the outsider who had
dared, even for a day, to enter her world. She
mumbled shyly, but only when spoken to. The
ensuing conversation was a
one, but,
determined as I was to sec for myself the truth
about these people, I persisted.
"Wouldn't you live someplace else if you
could."" I asked offhandedly.
The woman looked up, the wrinkles at her
temples growing deeper. She spoke softly, and
I reckon a body
slowly, "Well
jus' liks tuh
stay whar he was raised up . . . Thar ain't no
place lik home, I reckon."
"I guess not." I smiled. "But wouldn't you
like your children to go to school?"
"Well, I reckon I wouldn't," she drawled. "I
guess they jus' don't lam em nothin . "
But her children did go to school to one of
those "legendary"
schx)l houses at the
head of the creek. What grade? She didn't know.
How often does she go to town? "Onct a yere."
What town? She didn't know.
After asking her if she was really happy here, I
watched her almost expressionless face as she
replied in a whisper, "Nope, I reckon not
She unknowingly voiced the opinion of all the
hollow folk. For they all replied the same to the
same questions.
No one knew anything about the world outside
their hollow. They were born here and they hoped
to die here. They are resigned, but not content.
They can't laugh, but they don't cry. They live,
but not really.
Their story is pathetic, tragic, and disgusting.
Pathetic because they live so. Tragic because they
know nothing better. And disgusting because
we let them.
