and skyscrapers.
Such buildings are massive
concrete structures with ceilings
hanging two or three feet below heavy slab floors to hide
pipes, air ducts, wiring and telephone cables.
Prof. Levine is trying to eliminate waste of space by honeycombing the concrete slab. The
holes in the concrete would hide
the wires in addition to adding
strength to the structure.
Prof. Levine began experimenting with sugar cubes and
plaster to make his structures.
The cubes and plaster cut down

After the plaster had hardened, the sugar cubes were dissolved leaving a finished structure. After a short time Levine

He took his most promising

Dr. Hans Cesund, professor

the experiment.
Mr. Levine's design was a

Johnson also is Arkansas campaign manager for Wallace. His

The extent of Johnson's

a feat? Simple. At the end of each

was hardly an example of representative polling techniques, but
then, who cared? Who won and
who lost wasn't really important
. . . except, of course, to the gorilla.
But currently in Lexington there
is a "Ted Mack" type poll being
conducted, the results of which can
be very detrimental to the community. The Lexington Herald-Leadconducts a survey once a

techniques, is totally unrepresentative of the views of the Lexington citizenry.
Each Saturday morning, a small,

line of print on the coupon implores, "Vote On These Issues

The trouble is, their opinions
may count far more than they
should. For just as the gorilla's
supporters did, opponents of gun
legislation, guaranteed annual income, the University or other issues can gather their forces and
flood the Herald Leader office with
their opinions. In fact, it is not

technique which has

brought the polls their reliability
is known as random sampling and
is based on mathematical probability. Random sampling gives all
voters an equal chance of being
polled and insures that all segments
of the population will be represented.

In a group of people, 60 percent
may favor one side of an argument
and 40 percent the other. When a
random sampling method is used
to pick respondents, as each name
is drawn the odds are 60 percent
that a person favoring one side will
be drawn, 40 percent that one
favoring the other side will be
drawn. Thus, in a fairly large sam--.
pie, respondents should turn out
in those proportions. But under
the amateur method used here,
there is no such guarantee. The
people with more time and money
to spend on postage usually the
more prosperous and more conservative elements of society, are
likely to be overrepresented.
Using the representative sample method, pollsters are seldom
far from the mark. George Gallup's
average error in seven national
elections since 1954 has been 1.5
percentage points. A random sample Kernel poll conducted last year
found 71.8 percent of students responding to be in favor of a student ombudsman position. After
the votes from a student referendum on the matter were tallied,
it was found that 69.1 percent of
students voting favored a student
ombudsman.
It appears that as little effort
as possible is expended on the
Herald-Leadpoll. The paper's
officials don't seem to care about
reliability or responsibility.
What they don't realize is that
through their outright error, ideas,
opinions and even votes may be
improperly influenced.
If the Herald-Leadtruly
wishes to represent public opinion,
it must rid itself of its "Ted Mack"
poll. True, the Geritol-backe- d
poll
was readily accepted by the public .. . but then, it was

Down, Down U of K- - You're Not Right For The Fight Today
A combination of
selfish

politics and
regionalism has long afflicted
higher education in Kentucky. For a time, in recent years, it appeared
that these bad days were becoming a part of the past. The first hopeful sign was former Governor Bert Combs' appointment of a distinguished
Califomian, Dr. John W. Oswald, as president of the University of
Kentucky.
But now it is becoming evident that Kentucky is not even to have
one first-clainstitution of higher learning. The downgrading of UK
has begun. Dr. Oswald has resigned. The trustees are having no luck
in finding leading educators from outside the state who will even
consider accepting the UK presidency. The people of Lexington and
Fayette County, who have always looked on UK as "our school",
don't want an educator as UK president. They want a man who will
build winning football and basketball teams.
The presidents of the other state colleges are all in favor of this.
They didn't like Oswald, whom they regarded as a threat to their
little, but growing empires. They would like to see one of their own
a builder of stadiums and an inflator of student enrollments head
the state's one genuine imiversity. For that will soon bring UK down
to their level of excellence, if excellence is the right word.
UK's days of hope the hope of becoming a fine university are
ss

numbered. They were further shortened this week, when the trustees
turned down Dr. Oswald's recommended choice for athletic director
to succeed the late Bernie Shively. This was done on motion by former
Governor A. B. "Happy" Chandler,
The action leaves Charlie Bradshaw, UK football coach, in line for
the job. This was a cultural accomplishment on Chandler's part,
whose interest in higher education hardly extends back of the box-sesections of the football stadium or the basketball arena.
Bradshaw said he only wants the job "if the university is going to
go in the direction of a total athletics program. All anyone wants here
athletically is an equal opportunity to compete in the SEC (Southeastern Conference)." By "all," we assume he means the powers-that-b- e
in Lexington who want huge sports crowds to
