articles, has been a research associate in the office of Population
Research at Princeton's Woodrow
Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and currently
is a faculty associate of the
Center of International Studies.
His studies have included postwar economic and demographic
problems of Eastern and Southern Europe, prospects for International migration, institutional
and demographic characteristics
of Southern Africa, and methods
of labor recruitment in developing areas.
Dr. A. Lee Coleman, chairman
of the Departments of Sociology
and Rural Sociology, is the chairman of the committee planning
the lectures which bring to campus distinguished consultants in
the fields of economies, anthropology and sociology.

Louis Camargo reSecretary

The council voted to invite

fall of 1964 and possibly to invite another national during the
spring of 1965.
Several

On the recommendations
several IFC members, the council passed a proposal to extend

Semester System Is Winner
By KENNETH GREEN
Kernel Staff Writer
Most University students like the new semester
Kernel survey revealed yesterday.
system,
The main thing they like about it is the long
vacations and the final exams before the Christmas holidays.
"I like getting out for Christmas with exams
behind me," one student commented. "It makes the
vacation better."
"I like getting out early in May," his companion
added. "This way I'll have a little time to travel
and find a Job early."
Another student said he likes the "longer vacations and getting out in May." He added that he
would have four months to work this summer.
Many of the students interviewed didn't think
the semester was either harder or easier, but
there were some advocates of both views.
"I don't think last semester was harder," one
student said. "It went faster but I don't think it
was harder."
"I don't think this new system is easier, but
it isn't harder either," another student said. "As
soon as everybody gets used to it,, it'll be a lot

better."
"I thought last semester was too short. The
profs loaded us down too much and it made the
work a lot harder."
"I thought it was okay until the last. Then
it went too fast because the professors were too far
behind. They tried to catch up and really gave us

too much to do."
"I don't know yet how I like it. It's too early
to tell bo I'd rather not say."
When asked about the summer semester, many
students said they would like to go on a full
semester.
One student said he would like "to see a semester with a full summer term."
His companion said she was going to school
this summer, but "It would be better if there was a
full semester."
Another student said, "Well, I can't go to school
here this summer, but I think it would be a good
thing."
"I don't care. I'm not going anyway," another
student commented.
Summing up the majority of students' poln-ioone the subject, one coed said, "I like it."

ter, or could pledge any fraternity the following year.
The regulation was altered to
state that a person who pledged
could repledge any fraternity the
following semester.
A proposal concerning reorganization of IFC, according to Camargo, was set aside until the
next week. The proposal was said
to be aimed at enabling IFC to
keep pace with a growing University.
A Kernul reporter asked why
the "press release" method for
IFC meeting coverage was instituted.
Assistant Dean of Men Fred
Strache said that the primary
reason IFC Instituted the new
policy was to provide for privileged discussion.
"It's a matter of being able
to have some discretion," Mr.
Strache said.
He also said that discussion
of the activities of IPC's Judicial
organ was difficult under
conditions.

Hundreds Receive Medical Care At Hazard's Clinic
By MELINDA

On some Saturday mornings as many as a hundred
people stand in line at the
blic health clinic in Haz-J- i
waiting for medical aid
.y can receive nowhere else.
Doctors work long hours with
limited facilities but realize that
they will not be able to solve
Perry County's health problems
alone.
Doctors on the clinic staff explain that either the people
don't know how to feed them-- .

don't care. In many cases, the
free lunches supplied at the
schools are the only meal the
children receive during the day.
The food stamp program did
little to satisfy the people's nutritional needs at first.
"Some of the people who got
the stamps had never seen a big
grocery store before," one of the
doctors said, "so they almost
went wild in them."
"All they wanted to buy was
candy and soft drinks," he said,
"and people Just ca.i t live on
that."

Families with no refrigeration
would proudly go home with a
dozen frying chickens and other
perishables. Improper meal planning and poor dentul hygiene has
caused an almost unbelievable

dental problem among the school
children.
At least 90 percent of the
children need Immediate dental
care and the. eight dentists in the
county, one"Tor every 4,370 people, can only scratch the surface in attempting to care for
them.
The situation was alleviated to
an extent by requiring those
who received food stamps to attend Instructional meetings on
basic nutrition and food planning.
Miss Ceclle Bates, the county
home demonstration agent, conducted the meetings in the clinic
and found people eager to attend them.
They also try to educate the
people by working In the schools
and with PTA and other groups
In the community.
Their efforts are very limited
due to a shortage of trained personnel to conduct the classes.
They applied to the state for a
trained nutritionist over two
years ago and are still waiting.
Sanitary conditions are also
very poor. Only 21.3 percent of
the people in the county have
access to public sewage facilities,
13.1 percent
have their own
septic tanks, and the remaining
67.7 percent have no facilities.
The county has no public garbage dump, so the people Just
dump their garbage along the
side of the highways.
Garbage and waste is thrown
into the many small streams that
the people use for drinking water.
The city of Hazard has a small
water purification plant which

serves the city, but the county
has no such facilities.
Many of the local physicians
are amazed that the poor sanitary conditions have not fostered
widespread disease, and many attribute the scarcity of communicable diseases to a free public
immunization program.
"People get scared after the
floods and come running to the
typhoid clinics," one doctor said,

"and since we've got them there,
we go ahead and give them all
their routine immunizations. It's
but it
a little underhanded,
works."
But other medical problems in
the area are not as easily solved.
There are simply too many people
for two few physicians.
Most of the doctors in Hazard
are so overworked, they refuse

to make calls In the county. None
are on salary and many are paid
with produce.
One doctor commented that if
he could collect his delinquent
fees, he would be a rich man.
There is no pediatrician in the
area and no heart specialist.
Even with the amazing birth
rate there the county has only
one obstetrician.

In a summation that could provide a clue to future G.O.P.
strategy in Kentucky, Dr. Jewell writes that "the greatest Republican potential remains in the expanding urban areas, and the 1963
election provide, among other things, that the Republican party cannot win a statewide election unless this potential is fully exploited.
"It is premature to assess the implications of Lyndon Johnson's
presidency," he concludes, "but one of them may be a growing belief
among Republicans in Kentucky and other southern and border
states that their best prospects are in urban areas."
Professor Reeves writes that his analysis of the 1963 campaign
tactics of Mississippi Republicans and Democrats reveals no marked
differences in racial, social, or economic orientation.

On the other hand. Professor Reeves continues, the recent "freedom election" in Mississippi, in which unregistered Negroes cast their
own straw votes, indicates that many Negroes want to vote and "if
they are granted the franchise, one or both of the existing parties,
or a new party, will surely propose programs acceptable to them."

Registration Revisited

Brown Cards Can Serve
A Useful Function
Past registrations here at the University have often been cussed in
disgust. This semester'! registration
has been often discussed, and in very
favorable terras.
Dr. Charles F. Elton, dean of
and registrar, cannot be too
highly praised for this semester's registration, the smoothest in recent
years.
There are still problems at registration, and in the registration
process. But, these are not Dean Elton's fault. They lie mainly in the
system.
Registration, as everything, is becoming an IBM process. The better
distribution of students per registration hour was due not to registering
by point standing, but to equal number of students registering each hour.
Allowing students to pick up their
brown card, information cards, and
schedule cards, at their dean's office
is also another step toward quicker,
more organized registration.
But, we ask, what use is the brown
card? Is it simply a means of flooding
adviser's offices once a semester with
all his advisees?
The Kernel believes we should
make full use of this brown card.
The rest of registration is now a product of IBM. Why not the brown card?
With the new long break between

semesters, an IBM brown card, listing
both class and section, could be used
to determine which classes and departments would be flooded during
registration. Departments could then"
make provisions for more sections to
meet the need.

The College of Arts and Sciences
did little to help registration this
semester. In fact, Dean M. M. White's
letter on the A&S policy of clamping
added another
down on drop-add- s
obstacle to the registration process.
Dean White told a Kernel reporter
that if students and their advisers
would take more time in planning
schedules, a great deal of drop-adactivity could be eliminated.
As long as no attempt is made to
determine the number of needed
classes, the need will still exist for
drop-addinAnd, Dean White, the
worst offenders are in your college.
English, Psychology, Physical Education, and Humanities
continually
close early and force the drop-adprocess.

Letters To The Editor
To The Editor:
It would seem that the author of
"A Mature Look at UK Athletics"
(Kernel, Jan. 29) has little understanding of maturity and even less of
athletics. It does not take an expert
to see that Georgia Tech is not "apparently . . . planning to put education up front, and athletics in their
proper place" in its recent withdrawal
from the SEC. Tech is hardly
Obviously it wants to
recruit without conference restrictions, play more teams from other
sections, grab more berths in bowls
and NCAA play-offs- ,
and, in short,
become an independent power.
As for
of UK sports,
there are probably five things for
which Kentucky is known nationally.
They are blucgrass, horses, tobacco,

excellence which might be an admirable goal for our scholastic program;

ful that the editorial's space was not
used to dictate the proper dress for
work and play or for one of those

things.
But I suggest that the Kernel might
be concerned less with affecting sophistication and maturity and more
with awakening the student body, a
large portion of which seems to sit,
placidly counting its teacups, as the
world goes by.
Why don't you follow up on the
athletic integration?
Have we recruited a single Negro athlete yet?
Have we even offered one a grant-in-aidOr are we the first university in
history to integrate athletics without
integrating athletics?

France 's Reasons For Recognising Red China
-

PARIS
President Charles De
Gaulle's diplomatic recognition of the
Peking regime, announced last Monday but expected for weeks, is regarded by many of the French leader's friends as a gamble.
President De Gaulle is not a
gambler. He is believed to have
weighed this decision with great care.
Relations between the government
of Mao
and that of General
De Gaulle, will in all probability,
be marked by unpleasant incidents
and by extreme tension.
Britain granted recognition to Red
China 14 years ago but she has conducted her diplomacy with Peking
at a low level, with emphasis on trade,
as a mercantile nation preoccupied
with the fate of Hong Kong and
Singapore.
France, on the contrary, will deal
with the Mao regime in full awareness of its role as the overseer of
f00 million people. President De
Gaulle will send an ambassador to
Peking, not right away but in a few
months.
In the United States and in some
French circles, people ask why President De Gaulle decided to act now.
The idea that his only aim was to
spite Washington does not satisfy his
European critics or his supporters. For
the gamble, if it is a gamble, is fraught
with dangeis for Fiance herself.
At his eageily-awaitepress
on Fiiday, President De
Gaulle made it clear that it was "the
weight of evidence and of common
sense" which had prompted the resumption of diplomatic relations with
Red China.
Noting in this gesture, he
stressed, "implies approval in any
form of the Chinese legime." Vet, in
the words of the liench leader.

"There

is not a single political reality in Asia that does not in some way
involve or concern Red China."
To demonstrate his government's
freedom of action, President De
Gaulle took a swipe or two at Mao
s
dictatorial rule and paid
tribute to the patriotism of Chiang

But just as the Alpinist explains
that he climbs to a summit "because it is there," Mr. De Gaulle said
France was recognizing the Chinese
mainland because it is there, because
it is the most populous in the world,
because it has "a deep civilization,"
because it is a nation "older than history" and a people "always eager
to achieve independence, always by
instinct, seeking to isolate themselves,
always suspicious of foreigners."
Hence, for the French leader, the
necessity to make it possible for
France "to speak directly to China
and to be heard by the Chinese."
There was not a hint in Mr. De
Gaulle's presentation of any hope that
quick practical results were being
sought or would be expected for
quite some time. He sjx)ke, with many
a "maybe," of an eventual increase
of cultural relations between the Chinese and the French, both equally interested in "les choses de l'esprit," or
intellectual values.
Mr. De Gaulle reiterated his support for the neutralization of Southeast Asia as "the only solution compatible with the people's hunger for
peace." There can be no neutralization without recognition of Peking,
he said.
As to the question of how the
Fiench government planned to deal
simultaneously with the reptesenta-tive- s
of Peking and of Taipei, General
De Gaulle did not deal with it. It
was the fond hope of many of his

listeners that he would stumble and
show embarrassment when he came
to this dilemma. He ignored the matter.
A distinguished Frenchman, Andre
Francois-Poncet,
former ambassador
to Germany under Hitler until the
war, feels that France is right in
herself as a
seeking to
world power, to exert her influence in
Asia, to speak her own thoughts as
an independent and a sovereign nation.
Vet he, like quite a number of his
thinks President De
compatriots,
Gaulle should have acted after full
y
consultation with the United Stages
and Great Britain, not to mention
West
