Paper ballots will be used

The election of 23 representatives will be held from 9 a.m.

Polling stations will be located

The new election was scheafter last Thursday's

About 1,541 students voted in
last week's election. Jim Parsons,
a member of the Election Committee, said today the use of
paper ballots will make Thursday's election "faster and easier
than last time."
Parsons said the Election
Committee would start counting
votes about 6:30 p.m. He said
complete election returns should
be announced about midnight.
Congress president Winston
Miller noted students could vote
for 23 candidates or less. He said
any ballot with more than 23
names marked will be declared
void.
Miller said he hoped a large

Dr. Hugo Theorell, director
of the biochemistry department
of the Nobel Medical Institute,
Stockholm, and winner of the
1955 Nobel Prize for Medicine,
spoke on "Alfred Nobel and His
Prizes" last night at the Medical
Center.
Having served in executive
positions with the Swedish Medical Society and the Nobel Nominating Committee, Dr. Theorell
is an authority on the Nobel
Prizes and their originator.
Nobel's early interests were
in the field of explosive mines.
He is known for the invention
of dynamite. He also perfected
blasting gelatine and owned, an
oil business in Russia.
Dr. Theorell noted that most
of Nobel's inventions occurred
when UK was just beingfounded.
Dr. Theorell told how Nobel,
an unmarried man, disapproved
of the practice of leaving large
inheritances to relatives. So, he
provided for his fortune to be
awarded to future scientists,
writers, and outstanding world
citizens.
In planning the Peace Prize,
Nobel is said to have recognized
the destructive power of his own
inventions. Dr. Theorell pointed
out that now, cities, rather than
armies, might be destroyed, with
nuclear weapons.
"Nothing could be more misleading than to label Alfred Nobel
as a merchant of death," he said.
After his lecture, Dr. Theorell
was presented with a Centennial
mediallion. He is a visiting Centennial professor in the biological
sciences, and is now chairman
of the selection committee for
Nobel Prizes.
Working mainly in the field
of enzyme chemistry, Dr. Theorell
is one of the world's outstanding
biochemists, and has taught
many of the outstanding American and European biochemists.
Dr. Theorell was himself a
student of Otta Warborg, the
father of enzyme chemistry.

Second Farm Building
Now Being Planned
The University is about to
begin planning for construction
of a second agricultural science
building as the center of study
for nutrition and food technology.
This blueprint on agricultural
progress in Kentucky was disclosed Tuesday by President John
W. Oswald before some of the
state's agricultural leaders.
The proposed agricultural
building, to be built near the
Agricultural Science Center on
Cooper Drive, fits into part of
the long range planning which
calls for the agricultural sciences
to be clustered in a series of
buildings in the vicinity of tle
existing center.
Other plannings revealed by
Dr. Oswald were to transfer agri

cultural experimental work from
the experimental farm, adjoining
the main campus, to Spindletop
Farm, north of Lexington.
The thought of establishing a
school of veterinary medicine has
been discussed for )cars by farm
leaders. Dr. Oswald said the
University was setting aside land
for this purpose on the hunch it
will be needed in the next 10
to IS years.
The proposal to transfer agricultural experimental work from
the campus farm to Spindletop
would ensure that graduate students and researchers have sufficient land available to them for
long term research and experimental projects, according to Dr.
Oswald.

Law School Debates Birth Control
By DILL KNAFF

Kernel Staff Writer
Cod is against it. The Pope is
for it in principle. Jesus set up an
institution to defeat it. Bin Business is against it.
What is it? Birth control is it,
and these are some of the views
which clashed last night in open
debate at the Kentucky Political
Union debate at the Law School.
The question before the house
was: "Whether immediate steps
must be taken to curb population, i.e., birth control?"
The speakers in favor of birth
control were Mrs. Louise G.
Hutchins, MD, Yale, President
of the Mountain Maternal Health
League; Roger B. Sledd, senior
Law student; and Warren N.
Pope, a second year Law student.
The speakers opposed to birth
control were Mr. Richard H. Seg-nitMD, Harvard, a Lexington
physician; James G. Stephenson,
second year Law student; and
John K. Rafferty, senior law stuz,

dent.

The doctors made keynote
speeches on each sideof the issue,
and their positions were as opposed as the "Harvards and the
Yales" usually are.
Mrs. Hutchins, mother of four
children, said that the need for
birth control arises out of medical
science's control of the death
rate; that $1 expended for birth
control was worth $100 spent
for economic development.
Mrs. Hutchins argued in favor
of I.U.D. devices to be placed in
human bodies as the appropriate
method when the people to be
helped are not able to count, to
watch the calendar, to remember
to take pills, or to practice abstinence.
In her conclusion, Dr. Hutchins suggested that the question
of sterilization needs study by
the legal profession, and she suggested that the present laws may
need revision. Presently both husband and wife must be competent and consent to sterilization.
Dr. Hutchins suggested that
this law may need changing, so
Central Kentucky's

that unmarried women uho have
had multiple pregnancies may
themselves alone sign for sterili-

zation, and that the court or some

social agency be empowered to
sign a sterilization order in the
case of third generation incompetents and
Dr. Segnitz, father of two,
offered the opposing keynote
speech, and philosophically attacked his opponent's views.
Dr. Segnitz said we must first
consider what the effect is of
what we do. "Is the population
explosion the supplanting of
horse farms by housing developments and industries? Are we
justified in keeping lands from
people when we preserve forests
or set aside land in land banks?"
Dr. Segnitz stated that we
must first determine the cause of
the alarm over the population
explosion, and was against any
form of compulsory sterilization.
"How can we be sure the social
and political mechanisms for the
determination of who is to be
sterilized will not get out of
hand?" he asked.
He concluded by citing his
experience that he had seen famig
lies rent asunder by both
of
and
parenthood, and questioned the
ultimate result of tampering with
man's impulsive drive for procreation.
The medical doctors set the
stage and the students commenced their debate.

Roger Sledd said that in agrarian societies children were needed
for harvesting; that medical technology had imposed death control
on such societies; that birth control must offset death control;
that children must come from the
most stimulating families, from
the most educated families; that
cybernetics is a justification for
birth control; and that it is a
moral sin for a country to produce children which cannot be
clothed and educated and fed.
James
Stephenson
spoke
against birth control on the
grounds that it goes against Cod's
plan for mankind. Man, possessed of body and soul, reason
and free will, and reproductive
organs, given to him by Cod, can
do nothing to alter Cod's plan,
which calls for man to procreate
and to populate heaven.
Warren Tope spoke for birth
control and attacked the stand
of the Catholic Church on birth
control as "backward, and ignorant." His argument concluded
that parents should have the right
to choose the time of birth of
their children.
John Rafferty concluded the
evening's arguments and said
that "birth control is placed before the world ostensibly tooffset
the gains of death control." He
pointed out that inl79S,Malthus

Captured Pilots To Be Tried
As War Criminals, Viets Say
By RONALD I. DEUTSC1I

SAICON, South Vict nam(AP)
North Vietnam says U.S. and
Vietnamese pilots captured in
North Vict nam will be tried as
war criminals.
The International Red Cross
Committee in Ceneva disclosed
today North Vietnam informed it
of that policy in a letter dated
Aug. 31.

The word from Ceneva came
as Hanoi, in an official Communist publication,
hinted that
Americans captured in fighting
in the future may be executed
summarily by the Vietcong.

The Vietcong said earlier this
week that more Americans would
be executed unless the South'
Vietnamese stopped executions of
Communist agents.
In its letter to the Red Cross,
the Hanoi regime charged that
hospitals, schools and villages
in its territory have been targets of air and naval bombing
and, consequently, all captured
enemy pilots will be considered
war criminals and tried by tribunals.
The letter said prisoners of
the North Vietnamese "are

* " . . . And Still The Free World Champion"

Free Expression
The arrival on campus of two
new political reform groups, YAF
and SDS, may be just the catalyst
necessary to stir political interest
at the University.
Outstanding in the past for
their political apathy, University
students have expressed political
views through some usually listless
major party groups which come
to life just in time to pass out
handbills before elections or offer
free
of absentee
notarization
ballots. Occasionally the two have
collected enough energy for a debate
or two on somewhat-less-tha- n
major
issues.
Though we do not endorse
wholeheartedly either the policies
and beliefs of YAF or SDS, we
welcome them to the campus in
hopes they will inspire meaningful
discussions on the day's most
pressing issues as the campus's existing political organizations have
failed to do. We hope the groups
can extend their contribution
beyond demonstrations and protest.
Within the context of the modern
University the student should have
the opportunity to hear all points
of view to hear challeges to views
more a product of socialization
than of original thought and
thorough examination of values.
We scorn the critics of free
speech who seek to protect tender
minds from nonconformist ideas
offered by each wing of the polit

ical spectrum. As the future citizens
of an
world, we
need not protection but exposure
to the wealth of ideas floating
through the community. Our experiences at the University put us
in contact with a variety of persons
we never will see again after we
settle down to our familiar towns,
classes and thought
environments. Now we may have
the best chance for participating
in a broad interchange of ideas.
Some of the critics of free speech
should realize that a number of
issues considered "extreme" in
their college days are now an
accepted and vital part of our
current society.
Progress is never a product of
stagnation. History shows that
some of America's major developments, from the Revolution
through the recent civil rights act,
have resulted from the gradual
maturing of arguments first offered
by minority groups.
Often these ideas promoted by
minority political organizations
later are adopted by the major
parties which can muster the power
to put them into effect.
We hope the dawn of YAF and
SDS on the campus will have the
effect of opening up the forum for
debate and interchange of thought
between other political interest
the
and
University
groups
as a whole.

as inhuman as those acts or conditions or persons against whom
his voice is raised."

resort of the citizen in a despotic
society, but in a nation which is
in principle and in ultimate fact
governed 'by the people and for
the people the processes of protest
constitute only the pep rally and
not the game itself."
"The genius of a creative
society," Dr. Spragens explained,
"lies not just in its ability to
recognize and express concern for
its limitations. Its real strength
is in its capability to find the
causes of its shortcomings, to assess
them rationally, and to develop
constructive remedies." And he
warned that "the remedy of weaknesses in our political processes,
the correction of economic disfunctions, cannot be brought about
by emotion alone."
Finally, he pointed out, "We
must seek freedom for ourselves,
and for those who would appear
to be oppressed, but we must do
so in ways which are consistent
with the premises of free society
itself. Little is gained if we seek
by oppression to overcome those

A Symbol Of Good
One of the major irritants in the
United States' relations with Latin
America has been the way the
Panama Canal has hitherto been
operated. Certainly the United

Zone in perpetuity.
But in this postwar era, with
sweeping Asia and
Africa often with the sympathy if
not the support of the United
States it has seemed incongruous
that the United States should insist
on its sovereignty over a strip of
land (and the canal running through
it) when this strip cuts in half a
n
small but independent
Republic.
Clearly the United States could
not yield to threats or allow itself
to be bustled from the zone. Yet
the passage of years has brought
into operation the law of diminishing returns. In other words was

operations of the canal."
This is a tremendous step forward. It is also a demonstration
of the good faith of the United
States toward Latin America as a
whole. If some are inclined to give
Mr. Johnson a minus for his earlier
handling of the Dominican troubles, surely he deserves a plus for
this.
The new treaty will apparently
make provision for the defense of the
Canal Zone which would probably mean the maintenance of
United States base rights there.

Throughout 1964, relations between the United States and
Panama were soured by the riots
along the Canal Zone during the
first few days of the year. Happily
by last December, the atmosphere
had sweetened enough for the opening of negotiations for a revision
of the 1903 treaty. And now, some
10 months later, it is a triumph
for both parties that they have
reached areas of agreement for a
new treaty. If it is completed, the
1903 treaty will be abrogated,
Panamanian sovereignty will be
recognized over the Canal Zone,
and -- in President Johnson's words
"Panama will share with the

Provided the vital interests of the
United States are guaranteed, nobody should cavil at the details.
A complete revision of the control under which civilians now live
and work in the Canal Zone might
upset those Americans who have
chosen to make their livelihood
there. In the past, they have often
found ready champions of their
cause in Congress. This time,
however, we hope that their
patriotism will lead them to accept
in the over-agood changes which
might mean surrender of individual
privileges for a few.
