Matthews explained, and are already higher than the new NCAA
standards.
These standards affect both
potential high school recruits and
present college athletes, setting
up a minimum cumulative grade
standing of 1.6 for the student
already in school and participating in athletics, and a predicted 1.6 minimum standing for

the high school athlete being

sought by NCAA affiliates.
The 1.6 predicted standing
is ascertained by tests.

Those rules require a cumulative standing of 2.0, well above
the 1.6 rule of the NCAA, and

Trip Abroad
The Kernel learned today
there is a possibility the State
Department will invite the University basketball team to participate in a European tour this
summer.
Coach Adolph Rupp said
there was nothing "official" yet
and that the prospects were
clouded by a lot of "If s."
According to reports, if the
basketball team does make the
tour, a 37 game schedule in
Europe would be played. Ten
basketball players from the University would go on the tour.
Previous tours have been sanctioned by the NCAA and would
have no effect upon the coming
season so far as eligibility goes.

Agents Are Important, Koon Says

Farm Bureau Official Criticizes Ezelle
By GARY YUNT
Kernel Staff Writer
The executive secretary of the Kentucky
Farm Bureau Federation yesterday called
remarks by a UK Trustee member "ridiculous" concerning the county agricultural
and home demonstration agent system.
John W. Koon leveled his remark at
Sam Ezelle over the latter's questioning
the intelligence of paying county agents
$3.5 million in a state, which Ezelle said,
where agriculture is diminishing in importance, at a Board meeting last Tuesday.
"It sounds ridiculous to me for Sam
Ezelle to be critical of a system that has
been so successful," said Mr. Koon yesterday from his office in Louisville.
"The land-gracollege extension at
UK has been instrumental in teaching

farmers how to produce more products of
better quality," Mr. Koon said.
"We are the best-fe- d
nation in the
history of recorded civilizations and this is
the result of the county agent programs at
land-gracolleges and universities
the nation. Our farmers prothroughout
worked than
duce more for man-hou- r
anywhere else in the world."
Mr. Ezelle, executive secretary of the
AFLCIOin Kentucky, had said that since
the number of fanners has become decreased, the county agent program had
served its usefullness and should be done
away with.
Mr. Koon believed otherwise.

"Agricultural extension and research
should be in no way curtailed. Our agri

cultural research is becoming more important as our population increases since

Portmann's Retirement Closes An Era

By CAROLYN WILLIAMS

Kernel Feature Editor
An era in the history of Kentucky Journalism is coming to a
close.
Victor R. Portmann, who for
24 years has served as secretary-managof the state's newspaper
organization, the Kentucky Press
Association and Kentucky Press
Service, is retiring.
Prof. Portmann first came to
the University in 1927 as an
assistant professor in the Department of Journalism.
"I doubt if he ever taught
less than 18 or 20 hours," said
Dr. Niel Plummer, journalism
professor and a former director
of the school. "He's just
referring to the fact
that a normal teaching load is
about 12 hours.
Dr. Plummer believed that
the Journalism School has "gone
up the ladder because of the
hard work of Mr. Portmann.
"He has the respect of the
press in the state. And he has
made a working relationship between the University (Journalism)
School and the Kentucky newser

papers."

Prof. Portmann's career in the

newspaper world started 55 years
ago in Carrie, a small town in
Minnesota. Working with his
father, the two published the
t.
town's weekly paper, the
Inde-pendan-

"There has been a vast improvement of both the weeklies
and dailies in the past 40 years,"
the
Prof. Portmann
explains.
"Not only did the content of
writing and editorials change,
but also the physical format.
You might say that this period
showed the transition from the
e
newspaper with ready-prininside to modern wideawake and progressive newsold-typ-

ts

papers."
During World War I Prof.
Portmann volunteered for the
army and served with the medical
corps. Following the war he returned to work on the Indepcn-danbut just for a short time.

t,

He soon qualified for a government education under the World
War I cquilivant of the CI Bill.
At the age of 30 he enrolled as
a freshman at St. Olaf s College
in Minnesota.
In June of 1926, he received
a bachelor of science degree in

journalism from the University

of Wisconsin. Following this he
became assistant professor in the
Department of Journalism at the
University of Arkansas, a position
he held for almost one year.
Before his appointment at
Arkansas, Prof. Portmann worked
for the Minnesota Tribune in

in the weekly and daily fields.
Competition has always made
the newspaper
sensationalize
news," Prof. Portmann believes.
"I've never considered radio
and TV as actual competitors
of the newspaper. We can consider them adjuncts to emphalocal
sizing and explaining

news."

Reflecting on the changes that
have taken place in newspaper
reporting, the genial "Mr. Press
Association" says, "In the early
part of the century, the type of
reporting was almost entirely
yellow journalism, sensationalism, and muckracking.
"But I believe this was all
for the best. The trend today

was elected
of the KPA
in 1940, a position he has held
consecutively. He was instrumental in helping establish the KPS
in 1951, an organization that acts
as the agent for the state's newspaper.
He has also been active in
the national newspaper field and
is a former president of the Newspaper Manager's Association,
secretary of the Newspaper's Advertising Service Inc., and has
also served on the executive committee of the National Editorial
Association.
Serving in the various capacities of his profession, Prof. Portmann has only missed about three
meetings in the past 30 years.
As a member of the National

The transition period, he relates, has seen many consolidations of both the weekly and the
daily newspapers, resulting in the

necessitated by operational costs.
He points out that operation
costs have increased almost 300
percent in the last 30-4-0
years.
"Weekly newspapers which
were selling from $25,000 to

in the 40 years he has been a
member.
"I guess I'll be the oldest
member at the Sigma Delta Chi

laughs.
However, Prof. Portmann's
career doesn't exactly go into
complete retirement. When his
successor, Arthur J. Vichmanjr.
of Frankfort, takes over the job
of secretary-manage- r
about May
15, Prof. Portmann will become

organization.

He will mainly act as a

fessor emeritus in 1962.
"I plan to colloborate with
Dr. Plummer and write a history
of Kentucky journalism. It should
be completed for the 100th anniversary of the KPA in 1969.
"My wife Catherine and I
also plan to do some visiting
with friends and relatives. We
might even take a trip to Hawaii

this year."

Symposium Set Wednesday
A steel symposium sponsored
by three Univ ersity agencies will
be held Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
at the Student Center Theater.
Dr. John D. Scalzi and L.G.
Seigel of the U.S. Steel Corporation will conduct discussions
outlining the technical aspects
and prevailing economics of several projects involving the use
of steel.
The symposium, part of a
continuing education program
for Kentucky engineers and arch

itects, is sponsored by the UK
the
College of Engineering,
School of Architecture, and the
University Extension Division.
Prof. David Blythe, chairman
of the Civil Engineering Department, said several case studies
w ill be presented. Emphasis will
be on minimum maintenance,
architectural excellence, and
minimum initial cost.
A question and answer session will follow the presentation by Scalzi and Seigel.

Letter To The Editor

One of the worst features of
government bureaucracy in Washington is the slavish devotion which
civil servants develop to their own
special departmental interests. This
devotion is frequently accompanied
by a narrow, parochial outlook
and by stodgy, stereotyped thinking. Government and the nation
are the losers.
In any adminstrative setup
there is the danger that employees
our representatives to represent us will become so wrapped up in their

cy heads needing to fill new or
vacant posts would be required to
consult the roster to aid them in
choosing the most competent men
available, ev en though they may be
from other agencies.

Although many top government
officials even now shift from agency
to agency in the course of events,
the President's plan would presumably encourage much more moving
about. Would such shifting simply
mean the transference of narrow
allegiances from one department
to another? Is it worth sacrificing
long years of specialized experience?
We believe it is worth experimenting to find out the answers.
Other promising ideas for broadening the experience and outlook
of career men in federal service
include seminars with leaders in
business, labor, and education;
brief periods of work in private
industry and in state or local government; advanced graduate work
in broad areas of interest; and
career systems for government service professional men, such as lawyers, vvheivby they might move
liom agency to agency with comparative ease as the need arises to
utilize their specialized skills.
Hecent piesidents hav e called for
more men of bioader vision and
allegiance in tu. ,aMU of govern-lunseivice. We welcome all practical steps to develop and
encourage
such men.
