'Keep Up Pressure,' Taylor Says
By JUDY GRISHAM
Kernel Associate Editor
"Keep up the pressure on
Hanoi. Don't pay in advance
for the privilege of negotiating.
And bear in mind the overall
objective freedom for South

Vietnam."
This was the advice given
Tuesday night by Gen. Maxwell
D. Taylor, a member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
during a speech on "Vietnam in
Perspective" in Memorial Coliseum.

Taylor's address was sponsored by the Central Kentucky
Concert and Lecture Association.
Taylor noted two aspects of
national attitude toward the
Vietnam conflict: "a growing in- -

tentness of national interest and
a feeling of confusion on the
part of our citizens."
He explained the confusion
as a result of the remoteness
of the area, the strangeness of
the people and their customs,
and the apparent contradiction
between official sources and the
press media.
"But in spite of this confusion," he said, "the issue, basically speaking, is clear and sim-

ple."

Why are we there? "The answer," Taylor said, "is because
we were asked by the official
government of South Vietnam
and because we accepted the
invitation."
He attributed our "acceptance of the invitation" to three
reasons. First, the United States'

Stadium Vote Planned
The Student Government referendum on the football stadium
is Thursday.
The questions will be phrased:
Are you in favor of moving the football stadium from its
present site?
If moved, would you prefer the Coldstream farm site or a
site within walking distance of the campus?
Polls will open at 7 a.m. in Donovan and Blazer Hall cafeterias and operate at intervals throughout the day when the cafeterias are in use.
Polls at the Student Center, Fine Arts, and Commerce Building
will open at 8 a.m. and close at 7, 6, and 5 p.m. respectively.
Student I.D. cards must be presented and they will be punched.
SG President Carson Porter will present the results of the
vote to the Board of Trustees next Tuesday.

"historical predilection" to aid
any country especially a small
country who is the victim of
aggression. The second reason
is the SEATO treaty obligation.
And, thirdly, because of "our
growing appreciation of the
stakes in this conflict."
"There is something at stake
which goes beyond the confines
of this small country," he said.
"The 'war of liberation is being
tested here and the stakes are
international in scope."
The U.S. objective, he said,
is the "independence of South
Vietnam and its freedom from
aggression we want nothing for
ourselves."
The U.S. strategy for winningwhich is the real test of
our accomplishment consists of
four parts: military and police
activities, air power, civilian activities, and diplomatic activities.

The military objective, he
said, is to wage a ground battle
to destroy the guerilla threat
which "we've done extremely
well."
Military operations are centered around "search and destroy" and "clear and hold"
activities. The former is taking
a heavy toll of enemy lives, he
said. The latter involve units
which move into a given province once the enemy has been
driven from it and "hold" it so

Tutoring Program Aiding 50 Students

As one of 1,200 tutorial programs involving over 200,000 students across the
sponsored Mannation, the
students from

University students.
A second grade boy likes his tutor
so much that when she didn't come
one day, he said, "Where's my friend?
If she isn't coming, I'm not either."
With tears in his big brown eyes he
left and didn't come back for two weeks.
A first grade girl suddenly realizes
that someone other than her teacher thinks
an education is important and she begins to take an interest in her woik,
because of the pretty "college coed who
comes every week to help her learn to
print.
Although a great and dramatic change
does not come overnight with any of

these children, each does seem more alert
to the world around him after visiting
the Manchester Center regularly.
As Ann Stollard, a junior art major
from Wise, Va., who is service project
chairman for the YWCA said, "The real
joy is not from doing a great thing with
these children; rather it's the day to day
contact of sparking even the slightest
interest from them."
In the past this tutorial program has
been bothered by a lack of planning,
because according to Peggy Cooley, staff
advisor to the YWCA, "The demands
have snowballed so quickly that the structure is no longer adequate." She explained that the program originators never
expected such a rapid response.
Miss Cooley said, "We know what we
need, and the question is how are we
going to get it?"
She explained that the "most pressing need now is to establish our own
leadership." Other immediate problems
include regular attendance by tutors and

tutees, possibly extending into the high
schools, transportation, finances, facilities, the chance of regular personnel, and
better communication among the community, the school, the tutor, the student
and his family.
Ann expanded this "need" list with a
"tutoring curriculum supplementing that
in the school, a study of remedial work
for the tutors, and a closer relationship
with the tutee's school after we (those
involved in the tutorial program) have
prov en our merits."
Tom Isgar, a field coordinator from
the tutorial assistance center in Washington, D.C., who was on the University
campus last week, said that his "general impression of the Manchester Center was favorable, and it looked like
other study centers I have seen." He
did criticize the center for a seeming
lack of pattern or organization, the limited
library facilities and the lack of communication between the staff and the tutors.
In a written evaluation of the pro

gram Miss Cooley made three suggestions
for improvement:
1. There should be more "opportunities in which the tutors may be led to
examine their own needs and responses
in this program so that the program
provides more than an outlet for wanting to do something or a career tryout."
2. A consultation with the College of
Education for a "discovery1 of tools to
equip the tutors" is necessary, and this
may require additional training for the
tutors in experimental methods of

3. The center should be coordinated
with society, because "the center is not
an isolated island."
Her suggestions were based on what
she called "the tutor's commitment to
society as a whole, because the program
deals with problems of authentic self
understanding and genuine participation
in civ ilization."

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.-- At
day last spring a Rhodesian tobacco planter slapped a South

This sentiment was echoed

The ambassadors are conpean and North American as

against South Africa in the Security Council and that, as a
consequence, the sanctions it
seeks, and may get against Rhodesia, will be insufficient tobring
down Ian D. Smith's independent regime.
No ambassador, of 22 questioned, believed that the United
States would support the application of sanctions against South
Africa although it was agreed
that the U.S. administration
would back sanctions directed
against Rhodesia alone.
Veteran diplomats, not prone
to exaggeration, consequently

Manchester Tutoring Program Aids Students

Continued From Pajre 1
Ann listed the six main
of the program as being
(1) "to raise the level of academic achievements recognizing
that a child's IQ docs not indicate his true potential; (2) discover latent talentsin thosechild-re- n
involved; (3) build stronger
ties of social understanding be-

tween the tutor and pupil; (4)
impart positive attitudes toward
education into the children; (5)
give the pupil a glimpse of an
improved future and his possibilities in life; and (6) help the
students build respect for themselves, faith in their abilities
and pride in their accomplishments."
Both Ann and Miss Coolcy
agreed that the main interest
of the tutor is the person, not
the subject to be taught. They
said the idea of helping docs
not start and stop with the subject matter.
Ann said "The tutor is not
a teacher's aid, because he works
independently of the classroom
and is not restricted to its program." She explained that conventional teaching methods do
not always work. She said the
tutor is always encouraging his
pupil, because he is "as (and
possibly more) interested in helping the child develop a positive
attitude toward education as in
the education itself."
A local third grade teacher
whose students participate in the
center said the program "gives
the children more security and
ambition to do well." In her
opinion too often the parents do
not take that much time to help
with homework and the students
are not impressed with the importance of an education. She
said the children need to feel
someone is interested in them.
Miss Cooley said the center
has problems in its relationship
with the University as well as
in its relationship with the public school system. As the "most
expansive student led and student participation program of the
University," the questions are:
Should it stay as it is in relation to the Y, become completely
independent, be transferred into
another agency of the University,
or become part of an agency of
a community group?
Dr. Carl D. Tatum, associate
professor in the division of foundations of education in the College of Education, advised the
tutors in a meeting last week not
to "go as an English teacher;
instead, go as a person interested
in another person." He said the
children cannot "be successful
academically unless they are
successful personally, and they
have already been hounded about
not being able to read."

In his opinion, the academic
"grows out of a relationship with
the tutor, not out of the tutor's
knowledge of the subject."
Dr. Tatum offered his services as a "resource person" to
the group, but said he didn't
want to force his way into the
organization or try to tell them
exactly what to do. He simply
wanted them to know he would
be available if he were needed.

Our Stadium Vote
University students will have
their chance Thursday to say
whether or not they want a new
football stadium, and if so, whether
it should be located at Coldstream
Farm or within walking distance
of the campus.
It will be the first chance for
students, as a unit, to make their
voice in the controversy heard.
President Oswald has said the
student referendum, sponsored by Student Government,
"will be considered as a serious
effort on the part of the students
to make known their point of view
to the Administration and the
Board of Trustees."
cam-puswid-

e

Just how much influence the
vote will have, however, seems
to depend on the voting turnout
and whether UK officials think
n
the results show an adequate
of student opinion.
We urge all students to vote
at one of the five polling places,
and to consider all sides before
doing so.
The stadium issue has been
one of the most explosive on campus and throughout Lexington this
year. The Administration's failure
to explain the stadium move and
its total implications have attracted
criticism and astonishment from
certain campus and Lexington city
officials. Perhaps more important,
it has left room for misinterpretations of the Administration's intentions in that an atmosphere
of confusion has blanketed the
entire issue.
The question is not, as many
students unfortunately believe, one
of seating capacity. Campus and
city officials have suggested the
possibility of expanding the present structure on Stoll Field into
a full bowl similar to the Rose
Bowl, Cotton Bowl, or Orange
Bowl.
Rather, it is a question of
whether or not Stoll Field is the
only possible site for a new Fine
Arts complex planned in the Central Campus Development Plan.
The Administration has, in the
past, said the development plan is
a flexible one. However, on the
stadium issue, it has not satisfactorily answered suggestions to relocate the arts complex either on
Rose Street between the Alumni
House and Sorority Row or elsewhere east of the campus.
Lawrence Coleman, University
planner, has said it is impossible
or not desirable to find another
comparable location for the arts
complex. He argues that the issue
involves not just one Fine Arts
building, but four or five with
d
programs. He has not
commented on charges that placing
the new buildings across the street
cross-sectio-

from the football stadium would
make little difference, saying only
that such a move could disturb
the balance of the arts complex.

with outspoken TrusEzelle that a decision to
tee Sam
move the stadium would be "terrible economics."
We agree

Building a new stadium at Coldstream would entail, according to
officials in the State Highway Department, extensive highway improvements to handle the expected
traffic burden and two major construction projects, a program which
would, by one estimate, cost
around $15 million. On the other
hand, to expand the stadium and
locate the arts building elsewhere
would mean no highway improvements.
severe traffic problem at Coldstream is evident. Presently most
of the students and nearby residents walk to football games, but
if these persons choose to continue their attendance at Coldstream, they would have to seek
other transportation. Many students, in fact, would be discouraged from attending.
Whether Coldstream could handle this traffic is doubtful. At
Stoll Field, with eight radial streets

area,
a reasonable time interval of 45
minutes to an hour and a half.
At Coldstream where there are
only two major outlets one highway official has predicted it would
take from two to four hours to
clear the traffic. University officials have yet to develop a solution to this problem.
Stoll Field itself is not inadequate. It satisfies, or with improvements could satisfy, the criteria that the Athletic Board designed for a new stadium. That
criteria suggested that the stadium
(1) be on University-owne- d
land,
(2) provide at least 50,000 permanent seats to accommodate the
growing student body, (3) include
10,000 to 15,000 parking spaces,
and (4) have adequate ingress and
egress to major thoroughfares.
A

Rose-Eucli-

Stoll Field is

University-owne- d

land, and with expansion into a
full bowl thepresent stadium could
easily accommodate 50,000 persons.
The University has already planned
new parking areas and high-ris- e
parking towers to handle the daily
parking burden, and the various
routes leading from the city meet
the fourth requirement.

Taking all these points into
consideration, we support leaving
the stadium on Stoll Field and
altering the "flexible" campus development plan as it relates to
the proposed Fine Arts complex.

Letters To The Editor

Questions On Parking
To the Editor of the Kernel:
I feel that holders of University
parking permits are entitled to
answer to a few questions before
they purchase permits for another
semester. The questions which I
have in mind are these three:
1. Why are parking tickets issued
to Area C permit holders for "parking in wrong area designation,"
when cars with no permits at all
are consistantly parking both in the
C areas and in the very same areas
which are off limits to C area holders, yet these cars very seldom receive citations?
Could it be that since the Security Department has records of
the addresses of
permit holders on file, and must go to some
trouble to get the addresses of
it
holders, that it makes their
enforcement record look better with
less work if tickets are issued to the
C area holders? If this is the reason, it is extremely unfair to the
permit holders who must pay $10
a semester for a permit, and still
find the
without guards filled with
2. Why are some people, such as
the editor of the Kernel, the director of WBKY, a Lexington Herald
photographer and several others
given permits which allow them to
park free in any University parking
lot?
These people consistantly take
space which should be reserved for
permit holders. I cannot conceive
of any reasoning whatsoever which
justifies this procedure. When covering a legitimate news story, reporters should be given special per
