total score for dodging the issue."
Dr. Blyton was not entirely critical of the debates.
He said that they are "very interesting and quite worthy
of public .observation."
To improve the debates, however, Dr. Blyton would
like to see the candidates make more lengthy state
ments and rebuttals. He would also limit the subject
under discussion to a narrower area and abandon the

"Lincoln and Douglas needn't worry."
This is the reaction of Dr. Olfford Blyton, UK debate
coach and professor of speech, to the series of nationally
televised debates between Presidential nominees John
F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.
Dr. Dlyton, whose debate teams at the University
have compiled an Impressive record In the past decade,
gate his views of the "Great Debates" after he had
listened to the third of the series Thursday night.
"The Colombia Broadcasting System Is taking great
liberty with the term debate," aaid Dr. Blyton. "In the
traditional senae they aren't debates at all. They are
a type of forum and a very limited one at that, because
the questions are asked by a select group of reporters
and not by the candidates themselves.
"The candidates speak In generalities," complained
the profes.sor, "so that people with diverse interests in
.

"Kennedy says 'I believe in a strong' America.' How
could you be any safer than that? Everybody believes
in a strong America. Then Nixon comes along and
says, 'I believe in a strong America too.'
"Furthermore." continued the debate coach, "the
candidates do not clarify the Issues." He recalled former
President Harry S. Truman's recent foray into Texas
e
chief executive opined that any
where the
Texan who plans to vote Republican "ought to go to
hell."
Daring one of the debates a reporter asked Kennedy
if he approved of Truman's statement. Dr. Blyton said
that "Kennedy mumbled something about expressing
his opinions In a different way from Truman, thereby
evading the Issue completely. You can't get away with
that in a regular debate," the professor remarked.
"In a regular debate this evasion of the issue would
one-tim-

last debate.

Who's winning? The debate coach answered "Nixon
was a college debater, and that shows up. On tha
basis of intelligence and perception, Nixon Is winning-On the basis of emotional appeal, perhaps Kennedy is
the leader.
"You might say," he added, "that Nixon Is th
.

Thinking Man's debater."

Nixon Rejects 5th Debate;

time. But he offered a new

alternative.

,
Nixon's headquarters suggested that the fifth debate be held next
Friday immediately after the fourth debate already scheduled that
night. But Instead of answering questions from newsmen, as in the
first four debates, the presidential candidates would reply to questions
telephoned in by listeners.
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct. 17 (fl' The U.N. General Assembly
tonight unanimously approved a resolution urging constructive steps
to achieve world peace but only after bitter words between the Soviet
Union and the United States.
The United States and the Soviet Union both supported the

resolution.
But Jiut before the vote U S. Delegate James J. Wadsworth accused
the Soviet Union of trying to use the resolution sponsored by 23 nations
as a means to fan the flames of International hatred and suspicion.

The Religious Question

office of president of the United
States one fought on the basis of religious affiliation and beliefs.

It

movement has
attracted such national religious figures as Norman Vincent Peale, who
presided over a meeting of the National Conference of Citizens for Religious Freedom (and against John F.
Kennedy), and Dr. Ramsey Pollard,
president of the Southern Baptists.
While Dr. Peale later said he was not
aware of the conference's purpose
when he agreed to preside over its
first session, the incident nevertheless points out the strength and orforces.

Dr. Peale and other
Protestant leaders have repudiated
religion as a campaign issue, but
many of the radical Protestant groups
are still actively beating the drum for
a Protestant president and feeding the
fires of religious bigotry.
Just how feverishly these groups
are working to secure Sen. Kennedy's
defeat may be illustrated by the activities of a local minister who has
violently denounced Kennedy from
his pulpit and then had his harangues
printed and distributed about the
city. Excerpts from such texts illustrate the febrile attempts to discredit Kennedy by those who base
their appeals upon the lowest levels
of emotionalism and fear.
One. of these tracts states that
"there are many reasons I could give

reasons for supporting Richard Nixon:
"What must be my thoughts about
Sen. Kennedy who believes if he came
into my church . . . and heard me
preach the word of God he would
commit a sin and be compelled to
confess to his priest to be forgiven . . .
"Sen. Kennedy is forbidden to
read any . . . Protestant books. In the
event he was elected president . . .
he would not be allowed to examine
all the evidence before signing or
vetoing bills. He could read ONLY
the evidence that was favorable to
the Catholic Church.
"Sen. Kennedy is a good Catholic;
therefore bows in subjection to the
Pope. If he should be elected president . . . would he not kneel and kiss
the papal ring?
"That kiss is not a lover's kiss,
"neither is it the kiss of a mother for
her baby but it is the kiss of subjection."
Americans must not be influenced
by such tripe. It is the duty of every
one of us to combat such bigoted
propaganda. The most important office of the free world is at stake and,
as both candidates have repeatedly
pointed out, the United States stands
at a crossroads and the decision that
will be made Nov. 8 is one of the
most important any people have ever
had to make.
This decision must be reached
by a populace well informed of the
major issues involved, not one whose
minds have been poisoned by religious bias and prejudice.

Banning Dangerous Drivers
A UPI dispatch from Washington
says the Bureau of Public Roads has

been handed the assignment of set- ting up a national register of danger- ous drivers. The underlying reason is
that a listing of drivers who have had
their licenses revoked for drunken
driving and other grave misconduct
will enable the state to identify such
offenders and deny them permission
to drive.
As matters stand, it is difficult if
not impossible to know whether the
person who applies for a license has,
a bad record if he or she has not been
licensed in the state in question.
Qff!nfT nr fi nntfnn.il riMMstrr of
bad drivers is not coing to be an easy
task or one quickly accomplished.

There are about a million license
revocations a year on the average and
250,000 of them fall into the
dangerous driver classification that
includes the drunken driver and the
driver convicted of a traffic violation
that costs a life. By the end of the
year there will be some 92 million
drivers' licenses in force.
The very size of the problem,- however, is the best reason for going
ahead with it. If the motorist tempted
to drive after drinking or to take
reckless chances knows he may be
banned for years or for life all over
the country, it may deter him. Here's
hoping at any rate.

Kernel Draws Comment From Readers
A Fine Job
To The Editor;
So often we fail to let others
know when a fine job has been done.
I know that I am guilty of this'
shortcoming on many occasions but
I do want you to know that it is my
feeling that the Kentucky Kernel has
been of the highest quality produced
by any staff iii my memory. The
coverage which you hate given to
the major events on the campus has
been excellent and the editorials
have been well chosen and, while
sometimes critical, most constructive.
Congratulations to you and your
staff on the fine start which you
have made this year!

A Dissenting Voice
To The Editor:
Surely the faculty and students
of a school the size of the University
of Kentucky are entitled to a better
school paper than the Kentucky
Kernel. Last year's paper was better;
two years ago was tops.
What is the matter? Papers lay
unclaimed in the hallways. Students
do not pick them up because there
,

is nothing in them of interest. Here

are several suggestions:
1. The paper is running too many
stale AP dispatches. Who wants to
read a dispatch that he read in the
newspapers a day or two before?
It may well be doubted also whether
a school paper should contain such
a large proportion of suth "filler."
2. This year's policy of demanding that letters to the editor be signed
has just about eliminated such letters,
except for political bile. Readers enjoy such letters, and they stir up
"letmuch interest. Courier-Journters" are innoculous, Lexington
papers have interesting letters unsigned. The paper should require that
all letters be signed but the name
need not be printed. One often wishes
to say something but does not care
to sign his name. It is not a matter
of courage but of policy. Last year
the writer wrote a letter to the
Leader criticizing the number
of "vacations" at the University, saying that it may be doubted that the
ordinary faculty member or student
spends more than eight months in the
classroom, even if he goes to summer school. He saw no value in stirring up talk by signing his name.
3. The social page is an irritating
al

repetition of sorority and fraternity
pinnings and open houses. What
about the great proportion of our
students, don't they ever get pinned
or have dates? Something is wrong

Club Notices
To The Editor:
I want to bring to your attention some observations and suggestions about the Kernel. Most of these
grew out of my experience last year
as secretary of a campus club.
We were a special interest honorary but we felt that there were
people on campus who would be interested in our program if they
knew of them. Also, we were finding
it difficult to contact all our members directly. Therefore we decided
to try placing announcements in the
Kernel. The results were not what
we had hoped; about half of the
notices never appeared and
that did always came out on the
day of the meeting even when wo
asked for another date. This meant
that even when a notice appeared it

came too late except to remind those
who already knew about it.
This situation is not too unusual
on campus. There is actually not a
way for groups to satisfactorily
such things as meetings and
programs. Direct mailings and announcements at meetings inform
only those who have already shown
interest. Posters are everywhere on
campus but half of them are out of
date and the rest are often ignored
especially on rainy or snowy days.
The only posters that do a good job
are those that are in unusual places,
are of giant size, or have remarkable
design.
As for the Kernel, announcements
are scattered among the ads, como
too late to be useful, or just don't
get in. I suggest that the Kernel set
aside a regular section solely for such
notices where a notice could Ixj run
for two days before and the day of
an event. With this the Kernel could
encourage the use of the paper by
setting rules for submitting notices
and informing all campus groups of
this service and how to use it. If the
Kernel would do this fairly simple
service it would find plenty of student support and greatly improve the
University community.
