Richard Bertram, President
Bertram Yacht Co., Division of Nautec Corp.
"When you stop to think what percent of our total waking
hours is spent
you realize how tragic it is
for any man to work at an occupation he doesn't enjoy.
Besides frittering away life, it reduces chances of success
to just about zero. I know . . . because it almost happened
to me!
After college, I did what I thought was expected of me
and joined a solid, Manhattan-baseinsurance firm. I
soon found office routine wasn't for me. I lived only for
bread-winnin-

d

lunch hour when I could walk to the Battery and mentally
sail with the ships that stood out in the Narrows . . . and
for the summer weekends when I could go sailing. Fortunately, the company I worked for is one of the leading
insurers of yachts and after two years I was transferred
to their Yacht Underwriting Department. Enjoyment and
interest in my work improved immediately 100.
After World War II, I started my own yacht brokerage
firm and yacht insurance agency in Miami, combining my
marine insurance background with an even closer relationship with boats.
My only problem ever since has been a feeling of guilt
that my work was too easy. I love boats and boating
people. That affection has paid me rewards way beyond
the financial security it has also provided.
The moral's obvious. You have en odds-o- n chance for
success and happiness working at what you enjoy most
what comes naturally! And if it's not just frivolous, your
life's work could well be what you now consider just a
pastime. It's certainly worth thinking about, anyway!"

A Conlinuiiig Kernel Policy
is

imperatixe that certain areas

of Kernel policy be explained during
the first xxeck of publication so there
x ill be no

writers and readt is and no need tor

First. x e in ite forthright and intelligent comment from our readers.
We leel that through the Kernel, more

than any other xax. faculty and students can best express their x iexx s on
any subject, xxhether it is political,
academic, or social. You can do this
by sending letters to the editor, because xxe promise fair consideration
to all letters.
In accordance xx ith the policy established last year, all letters must
be signed by the writer, or xxriters,
and must not exceed o(K) words. Fetters should be typewritten or legibly
printed in ink on SV x 11 inch paper.
The editors vv ill not honor requests to withhold names in the Header's Forum anil Unixersity Soaplnix

that it any x liter has thoroughly

consideration to his topic, the writer

So. xxe invite you to make full

New Values Are Needed In Old Degrees

(Fditor's Note Yesterday Dr.
'7rank A. Base, president of the
of Alabama ami a former
Transylvania College president, dis-- i
nssed the needs of Ameriean eduea-'ioToday, in conelusion. he offers
; nine
possible remedies for these
weds. His artiele is taken from the
f'ircle, national news magazine of
Omieron Delta Kappti.)
Many educators are coming to
jealie that there is the necessity of
the student finding in the academic
community, devoted and interested
people who are ready to listen and
counsel him when he is lost to his
own devices. Systems of guidance
are lieing initiated to enable the student to utilize the maximum of the
educational resources during his four
years. There is no substitute in all
of the education process for the
devoted teacher who comes
before the student challenged to remove the barriers of ignorance and
ore j ud ice and start him on the road
o knoxx ledge and
Moral values are lacking in so many
of our students because ot the poor
sxax in xxhich they are taught. Some
of this is due to the inability of some
Professors to teach, but much ot it is
due to the lack of a genuine com-- :
nitiiient to the rcsiMinsibilities of good
caching. Piety can nexer be a
loi academic excellence, but
I'm-ersit- y

e

there are some value judgments that
can be made if the teacher sees his
subject being taught as it is related
to the whole of human life on our
planet. Alfred North Whitehead informs us that "the real justification for
a unixersity is that it preserves the
connection betxseen knoxvleilge and
the zest lor lite, in that it unites the
young and the old in the imaginative consideration of learning." Dr.
Whitehead says, "A fact is no longer
a bare fact; it is invested xx ith all possibilities. It is no longer a burden of
the memory; it is energizing as poet
of our dreams, and as the architect of
our purposes."
Such changes in educational programs and emphasis indicate that
educators are trying to .shape their
institutions in accordance with the
most constructive change.
The urgency of our time is found
in the acceleration xxith xxhich crises
come. We are all teachers anil studentsgoing to gixe more than our
normal efforts, or xxe xviil not have
again an opportunity to aid so vitally
the task that is before us. The success ot our educational institutions is
made necessary by our modern advances.
Hefore World War II, 2(H) miles
per hour xxas speed, but today any
ol us can lly xxith a hundred other

passengers at (i0 miles per hour.
I saw the
plans for a commercial airliner that would fly 2,o(M)
miles per hour xxith 1(H) passengers,
and I xxas shoxxn the replica of a
missile that would attain the speed
of 18. (KX) miles per hour. This is the
progress of pure scientific research
and good engineering. Name any
scientific field you xxish and on the
drawing board there is a new discovery or discoveries that make the facilities of the present obsolete.
Whether xxe like it or not, we are
what someone has suggested, a nexv
Adam; and life is not going to be
easy in the modern "Garden of Eden."
We are going to haxe to put nex'
values in old degrees.
Our universities must become
tenters of learning if they are going
to have any relevance to our age. We
haxe taken all too lightly our responsibility of turning out academicians
who possess the abilities and knoxvleilge to help us forge ahead in these
many areas in xx hich xxe are noxv lagging. We cannot keep shooting at
the moon and missing it and retain
confidence in our scientific and educational programs.
Nineteen million mentally ill people in the United States rexeal that
many tried to hit the moon of their
careers and failed this, too. Juvenile
delinquency, the high dixorce rate,

race riots, political bungling, a responsible agency of our government
calling our churches arsenals of communismthese rexeal an intellectual
and moral weakness that informs us
xxe haxe not been as successful as
xxe would like to think.
We must adjust our programs of
education and put new values into
our old degrees.
Dean Jerome
Wiesner, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, on speaking of the necessity of Teshaping education, says that
our schools must recognize one great
need. He says, "The social and economic upheavals noxv brought about
by scientists and engineers make it
imperative to educate our young men
xxith an axvareness of the social and
economic consequences of their actions."
The principal task, then, is to develop in our most promising students
the capacity to lead future technologies, the very nature of xxhich are
essentially unknoxvn during the formal period of education. Jirst as
scientific and technological institutions xvere created a century or more
ago in response to the Industrial
so must xxe rethink the role
and shape our institutions in response
to the current revolution. To do less,
is to surrender our leadership to a
ruthless foe in the race in xxhich there
x ill be no
prizes for second place.

An over all view shows the floor plan of the new
physics-chemistr- y
building to be completed in
1902. The $5,500,000 structure will be four stories

high and house graduate laboratories general
laboratories, class rooms, and a branch library
for the physics and chemistry department.

"It's a silo for the president's garden," Dr. Frank
Peterson, vice president for business administration,
jokingly offered.
But UK President Frank O. Dickey cleared up the
confusion by explaining to the board the "silo" was an
atom sma.sher built separately from the physirs-chem-Istbuilding because of radiation danr.
structure will house
Technically the cylinder-shape- d
a Van de Graaf Accelerator which will be used in low
energy research and neutron physics by the Department of Physics.
The Van de Graaff Accelerator will also be used by
graduate physics students in their individual research
work.
A spokesman for the Physics Department
said the
Atomic Energy Commission and the National Science
Foundation have been asked to grant funds to purchase
a new accelerator, costing $500,000.
Built ten years ago, the present accelerator is

located at the back of Tence Hall. It can develop 3.400.0110
volts, hut the new commercial machine which the department hopes to purchase will be able to develop
5.."MU:il0
volts.
The Van de Graaff is an electrostatic machine which
accelerates charged particles to hih energies for bombardment of selected nuclei.
This, in turn, produces nuclear reactions.
The "silo" which will contain the machine is a part
of the $5,500,000 physics-chemistr- y
building on Rose
Street.
It is 35 fret in diameter. 56 feet high, and runs 12
feet into the ground. Two experimental rooms will be
constructed beneath the silo.
Scheduled for completion in 1962, the physics-chemistThe
building will be completely
four-stor- y
.structure will house graduate laboratories,
general laboratories, and a branch library for physics
and chemistry.
Constructed beside the physics-chemistr- y
building
is the $1,800,000 addition to the Margaret I. King

The addition which began in August will almos';
double the present size of the library.
The new section which should be finished by the
er.d of 1962 will have six floors and feature an oper.
stack system. Presently, students are not allowed itu
the stacks.
The new system will permit students to enter the
stacks on five floors. Two hundred study cubicles will
also be placed among the stacks.
Women's Dormitory No. 6 is being built behind tho
Euclid Avenue Building on the corner of Euclid and
Harrison Streets.
George Kavanaugh, associate business manager, said
the University recently decided to add a third story tu
the North and South wings.
The original plans called for only two stories, bu
the pressure of enrollment made it necessary to add thu
extra space, Kavanaugh added.
A central dining area for all women living in resident halls will be built into the $1,600,000 dormitory which
is expected to be completed by September of next year.
