The heated exchange climaxed the political
union's first debate at the College of Law moot
court room this year. Four University students
also participated.
Blackwell, vice president of the Kentucky Association for Trial Lawyers, said it is generally
agreed that much of the proposed charter's effectiveness would depend on interpretation. "There
is doubt what it will do," he said, "there is
doubt it is proper. And what do you do when
you are in doubt? You don't sign a contract or
convict a man."
"But this constitution is not on criminal trial,
so the argument of reasonable doubt docs not
apply," Pritchard replied. "This doubt you speak
of is a camouflage, a smokescreen" of unjust
and illogical criticism.

Suit To Acquire
Motel Property

The University Board of Trustees Tuesday asked Fayette County
Court to condemn two motels and other property needed for an
expansion of the University.
The property in question was the Center Motel, the Town
House Motel and adjacent properties lying between Rose and
Limestone streets near their junction.
Robert Kerley, vice president for business administration, said
the area was needed to provide immediate office space for the
University Medical Center and to provide a site for later expansion
of the Medical Center and the Agricultural Sciences complex. He
said the property has been appraised at $775,000.
The board filed two condemnation actions in the court.
One named as defendants the Center Corp., which owns part
of the property and operates the Center Motel; and the National
Toddle House Corp., which leases restaurant space in the motel;
Hyman Rosenberg and Max Sapoznick, who lease quarters adjoining the motel; and Commonwealth Life Insurance Co. and the
Second National Bank and Trust Co., which hold mortgages on
the property.
The other suit lists as defendants Mr. and Mrs. Solly W. Hall
and Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Cole, owners of the Town House Motel;
and First Federal Savings and Loan Assoc., which has a mortgage
on the property.
Craddy Johnson, county judge pro tern, signed routine orders
declaring that the petition showed need for condemnation, because
the University had attempted to purchase the property and needed
it "to expand the University's plant and extend its usefulness."
Judge Johnson appointed three commissioners to fix the value
of the property for the court. These commissioners are E. I. Thompson, Thompson J. Carnes and Richard T. Mayes.
Under general condemnation procedures, the commissioners set
the value of the property and the county judge issues an order
awarding that amount to the owners.
The case can be appealed to Fayette Circuit Court if either
party is dissatisfied with the set amount. In the circuit court
a jury will hear evidence and fix the amount to be paid.

Lexington police identified the

Department of Medicine, and
Tom Piercefield, 23, a part-tim- e

were the fourth and fifth on
narcotics charges since Sunday.

Lexington Detective Frank

with Kentucky narcotic agent
Richard Snowden, said the alleged violation occurred Oct. 10.
Specific determination of the drug
had not been made, but it was

is

neither a dead

nor a forgotten issue, according
to three University trustees.
Dr. Ralph Angelucci, chairman of the Trustees' Executive
Committee, said Tuesday he
knew nothing of rumors that the
stadium question might be brushed over and dropped.
"That (the rumor) may be
true, but as of now I don't
think so," he added.
All three members, including
Smith Broadbent of Cadiz, and
Robert Hillenmeyer of Lexington pointed out that a final decision on the stadium site is
dependent on studies to be presented the Board this year.

"The main concern in locating the stadium," Angelucci emphasized, "is the student."
"It ought to be where the
students could get to it by walking. After all it is their game.
I would like to see it on campus
with limited parking around it
and the rest of campus open for
overflow parking," he continued.

Angelucci strongly favors moving the stadium from its Stoll
Field position for three basic
reasons:
Need of the Stoll Field area
for academic building development.
Cost of enlarging the pres-'e-

nt

stadium.

Lack of safety for players
in the stadium and the inadequacy of the stadium for spec-

According to Angelucci rounding the stadium on the ends for
building the sideline seats upward with a deck would cost
roughly four million dollars to
seat about 54,000 people.
He said a new stadium should
cost from five to five and one-ha- lf
million dollars to seat about
50,000 people.
Angelucci stated that entrances and exits in the present
stadium were built to serve 12,000
people. He added that other facilities in the structure are inadequate and would be more so

with the increased capacity.
He declared that the stadium
is unsafe for players because it
is too close to the playing field.
"A player can catch a pass on
the sidelines and run into concrete walls. The stadium should
be a minimum of 30 feet from
the field," he said.
Head defensive football coac h
Clarence Underwood agreed that
the stadium is "built too close
to the sidelines" and that players "could get hurt very easily."
Angelucci sees the experiment
farm on Cooper Drive opposite
the football practice field as possibly a good site for moving the
stadium.
He points out it would be
within walking distance from
campus although there is only
one major street nearby.
He also mentioned an area
between Patterson Street and the

Jefferson Street viaduc t as a stadium site possibility.
Smith Broadbent, although
undecided on the stadium issue,
stated that the interest of the
business people of Lexington and
that individuals interested in the
UK sports program outside Lexington should get good consider-

ation.
Trustee Robert

Hillenmeyer
said "it is obvious we need some
more information on the issue.
If it's a problem, I think we
need to face it and make a decision on it."
Gov. Edward T. Breathitt first
mentioned the Coldstream site for
the stadium two years ago at a
Board of Trustees meeting.
Breathitt has said the stadium
should be left as near campus
as possible, but that it would
not be feasible to leave it at
Stoll Field.
University Trustee Sam Lzelle
earlier this week said moving the
stadium from Stoll Field would be

"terrible economics" and that the
needs of the Univ ersity could better be served by enlarging the
present structure.

Secrecy And Research

In view of the increasing involvement of the federal government in university research and in
view of a similar increase in classified military research, it appears
'necessary that institutions of higher

The University of Pennsylvania
recently brought the issue to light
when officials there announced they
would no longer accept classified,
or secret, research from the governmentexcept in a state of national
emergency.
A university, above all, is an
institution for theacquistionofnew

There is, however, as the Pennsylvania decision pointed out, an
exception to the rule. Only in case
of a national emergency when national security is at stake should
classified research be considered.

nuclear fission. They had forseen
the possibility of the atomic bomb
and what it might mean if Hitler

are times when a higher obligation
supersedes a university's basic purpose to disseminate knowledge.
In general, however, we believe
any university should confine its

Letters To The Editor

Band Member Rebuts Critical Letter
To the Editor of the Kernel:
I am writing in regard to Mr.
Pratt's comment about the UK
Wildcat Marching Band that
in a recent issue of the
Kernel.

or give helpful suggestions that
can make your band better rather
than tear it down?
John E. Black
A & S Senior

In the past four years that I
have participated in the marching
band at the University, many criticising letters have been published
in the Kernel (mostly negative in
attitude) concerning the size, spirit,
participation in school activities,
and style of marching that has
been executed by the band.
Previous to this year, the band
marched in a military drill style
and many caustic remarks were
printed asking why UK did not have
the band of renown as the Big
Ten schools had. Why didn't they
produce more entertaining shows
rather than drill to boring marches
or intellectually stiff concert music?

Complex Drills

ap-perar- ed

This year, Mr. Fred M. Dart
came to Kentucky from the Ohio
State University (a Big Ten School)
where he served in the capacity
of Assistant Director of this fine
band. He brought with him the
secrets of success that have nude
the Big Ten bands what they are
today. But it takes more than just
a change in music or style of marching. It takes work hard work. It
takes time to build a band with
tradition and exactness. Before this
tradition and perfection can be fully
accomplished, there needs to be a
change in attitude of the student
body. Instead of writing cutting

and unjust criticism at the slightest
provocation, why not compliment

say that if there is such an underlying drive in Mr. Pratt!s psyche
to assimilate the spirit of the drill
band, I suggest that he manage
for once to come early enough to
e
see the
show. In this
performance, we do almost exclusively drill, drills that consistently include manuevers a class
above anything that VIP has shown
being performed at nearly twice
the speed.

tour of the West Coast, is widely
being discounted as a kind of
