The University Press will
soon publish "Some Problems
of. World Politics
Today," an
interpretative study of events
since World War II.
The publication of the
work was announced by Paul
Chellgren, senior commerce
major from Ashland, the remaining member of the Student Congress committee
which nurtured the project.
The book, financed through a
from Student
$2,000 allocation

Congress, was written and compiled by Dr. Amry Vandenbosch
and members of the staff of the
Patterson School of Diplomacy,
which Vandenbosch heads.
"The students, through Student Congress, initiated the idea
and financed the basic cost of
this publication," said Dr. Vandenbosch.
Chellgren commented, "This Is
an example of the fruitful work
that can be carried on by a Student Congress, in cooperation
with faculty and administration."
The primary purposes of the
book are to spur interest in current affairs and to provide up- -

Kentucky Thoroughbred Debate Tournament at the Student
Center.

"This Isn't an especially big Pittsburgh, Wisconsin State (Eau
tournament In the number of Claire), West Point, William and

teams, but it is a highly selective one," said Dr. Gifford Bly- ton, UK debate coach. "All are
high-calibteams and any one
of them is capable of winning."
Among the competing schools
are Brandeis and Miami (Fla.),
which placed first and third in
the West Point National Debate
last year, and Ohio State, also a
former winner at West Point.
The teams were divided into
four groups according to region.
To insure competition between
schools which don't meet during
the regular debate season, no
team was scheduled to meet another from its own region.
The remaining rounds of the
tournament
will be held at 9
and 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 and 3
today, and 9 and 10:30 tomorrow
morning.

Mary, Illinois State, Notre Dame,

According to Chellgren, "The
book should do much to make
history come alive through providing continuity from history
book to the front page of the
daily newspaper."
"This is Important," he said,
"if political rights are to be exercised intelligently."
The book will supplement existing history texts. Its use is
calculated to provide accurate
background material facts and
interpretation that are lucking
now.
The book, 4,000 copies of which
are to be printed initially, is to
be distributed free of charge.
Dr. Vandenbosch noted that
the time and efforts of all persons contributing to the publica- -

tion were donated freely. He said
that the project was initiated
by James Daniel, president of
Student Congress in 1961. He
said, "We hope the publication
of this booklet will help fill in
some part, the high purposes
Mr. Daniel and the Student Congress had in mind."

UK In $22,817,000 Construction Program

By JIM CURTIS
Assistant Daily Editor

A construction program to

taling about $22,817,000

is

underway at the University,
Lawrence Coleman, UK campus planner, said.
New buildings for the College
of Commerce and the College
of Education are now under construction.
The new Agricultural Science
Building on the Nicholasville
Road is nearing final construction stages. It is scheduled for
completion by spring of 1964.
Finishing touches are being applied to the Student Center and
the Helen G. King Alumni Building.
Plans for the new $1,100,000 law
building are expected to be ready
school year.
during the 1963-6- 4
Bids on the building should be
taken in November, according
to Coleman.
The
building will be
located near Memorial Hall, with
one wing running parallel to
South Limestone Street.
The law library will fill about
one arm of the L. Three library
levels will contain general reading-room
tables, small tables for
group study and individual students.
The basement is to house seven
offices for the Kentucky Law
Journal staff, student conference
and meeting rooms, a suite of offices for the Law Research Institute, staff and student lockers,
boo!: stacks, and storage spare.
A specially designed 275-se"model courtroom" will be a
special tenure, W- - T

Jr., dean of the college, said.
Coleman quoted administrators
as anxiously awaiting completion
of programing
and groundmillion
breaking for the $13-1- 5
undergraduate housing complex.
The building is still in the preliminary planning stage.
The complex is to be comprised
of two quadrangles of four, three-stor- y
dormitories around a
tower-rooin each quadrangle and a connecting central
dining facility.
Coleman said the building is to
be located east of the Medical
Center.
The campus planner added administrators hoped at least one
faciliof the quadrangle-towe- r
ties would be completed by the
fall of 1966.
Inadequate dormitory space for
women students resulted in the
coeds taking three portions of
the formerly
dormitory
quadrangle on Rose Street.
This resulted in 1,700 to 2,000
single male students having to
find their own housing in the
community, said Bert Cox, who
is aiding the male students in
connection with the Town-HousiOffice.
A seven-stor- y
addition to the
quadCollege of Engineering
Is in the planning stages,
rangle
Coleman explained. The building,
estimated to cost about $1,635,000,
is to be erected on the present
site of Mechanic's Hall.
The Delta Gamma sorority
house is presently under construction on t'(luibia Terrace.
The $18!,0'l) structure is planned
for completion in December.
Three fraternity houses are

also planned in the future, Coleman said.
A three-stor- y
annex to the
present UK College of Education,
is now under construction. The
building is to cost about $1,290,000,
Coleman said.
The new annex is to house offices, laboratories, classrooms, a
reading center and special education rooms. It is planned for
completion by October, 1964.
In September the University
Board of Trustees accepted
$50,000 from Gov. Bert T. Combs
emergency fund to be used for
a handicapped children's center
in conjunction with the College
of Education.
The location, to be decided by
the University planners, is un- -

announced. The center is to be
designed as a training and research unit for the preparation
of teachers in the education of
deaf, blind, and physically handicapped children.
The $1,510,000 commerce building presently under construction
near the main entrance of the
campus is expected to be completed by fall, 1964.
The structure will replace
White Hall which was erected
in 1882, Coleman said.
The $4,000,000 Agricultural Science Building should be completed in the spring of 1961, the
campus planner said.
The nucleus of the proposed
Agricultural Research Center is
to house classroom and research

facilities for the departments of
agronomy, plant pathology, animal science, poultry science,
horticulture, and forestry.
Tobacco ReThe National
search Center, a 75,000-volulibrary, a radioisotope laboratory,
offices and conadministrative
ference rooms will also be in tha
building, Coleman added.
new Sigma Alpha Epsilon
is planned foe
construction on Rose Lane.
Lansdale and Ritchey, Lexington contractors, have signed to

KERNEL,

Sidelights
Seems like the count down has
begun and the local drug stores
nre taking advantage of the stepped up exam schedule. But midterms or not, the campus is flooded with social events and happenings.
Since no univesity Is perfect, I
toould like to take to my (soapbox.
It has come to my attention and
rhargrin that the Homecoming
Committee will be awarding only
one trophy for all categories of
house displays. That means the
feororities, fraternities, and dormitories will be competing with
each other.
(
This is not fair and should be
reconsidered on the grounds that
.
the sororities and the dorms are
on a strict budget and the fra- -.
ternities have none. It seems
pointless for so many groups to
'
work so hard on a display and
have high hopes for winning,
only to find that a group with
whom they have no way of com- -:
peting wins the trophy. I realize
that the displays will be Judged
on several factors but girls can- -.
not compete with men on mechanical gimicks and engineering
feats that make house displays
.planned by fraternities so distinctive especially with their unlimited bugets making elaborate
displays possible.
Before departing from my soapbox for another week I want to
congratulate the assistant dean
of men for the excellent job he's
doing on the dog situation. It's
rot every day that man kicks
his best friend off campus. It
teems quite unfortunate that another campus tradition will pass
from view simply because one
canine can not be controlled by
his owners.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my
classes with the dogs. I have seen
no infractions of gentlemanly behavior on their part. Most people
enjoy their presence and welcome
their appearance.
The campus won't seem the
tame without Pike zipping alcr.g
to class or Buster snoozing at

your feet. The dogs love the campus and up until now have never
teen a problem. Perhaps if the
real offenders were better trained
and controlled we might be able
to return to the old dog days.
Starting off the weekend of
events
the
there are plenty
fraternities will be holding their
first round of rush parties. So
Raiety should prevail on the Row.
The Lambda Chis are Initiating
things with a campuswide Jam
from 5
session at the hou:-p.m. today in honor of Dammit.
The Phi Taus are welcoming
the spook season early with a
basement full of pumpkins and
Indian corn. The Monzas will
provide' the eerie sounds for tonight's ghosts and goblins.
Also on the theme line the
ATO's will be traveling to Gay
Paris and the sidewalks of the
Champs Elysees with the house
decorated like a cafe. The Kon-Tikt- s,
an immigrant group no
doubt, will be playing the sounds
as the rushees gather.
The SAE's are having a swinging weekend with a party at the
Gardenside Cabana tonight. The
Houserockers will be on hand to
add to the fun and games.
If you are in the mood to call
pigs, etc., you might buzz by the
Phi Delt house where the Torques
will be producing animal imitations iqr a "Hog Wild" party.
If you've any surpressed desires, the FarmHouse "Come As
You've Always Wanted to Be"
party tonight will certainly be
the place to let yourself go. The
Freudian background will be supplied by the Continentals.
Still on the country theme,
there sure are a lot of these floating around, the Newman Club
will be hitching up the hay wagon for a Jaunt to the country.
The rest of the row Is getting
into the rush spirit with parties
also. The Delts will be entertaining, as only perfect hosts
can, with the sounds of the Blazers for the right atmosphere.
Wrapping up the night's activities, the law students will be try- -

Ing a case of John Barleycorn at
the law dance. High spirits
6hould prevail.
Tomorrow's social calendar is
so full that we may need another
day to squeeze all the doings.
The TKE's are having a cam5
puswide Jam session from
p.m. with music by the CastaThis should provide plenty
ways.
of entertainment for those who
aren't involved in the umpteen
other events.
For those of you who love the
ponies, Keencland will be ending
its fall meeting so the campus
will probably turn out en mass.
At least the SAE's are making
sure a large segment of the Greek
world is represented.
They're trouping to the races
and then to an open house for
the members and their dates at
the home of their president. This
will be followed by a romp at
Jo j land. If there Is a run on
hospital beds this weekend, they
should be the grftup that gets top
priority. They don't have a spare
minute scheduled.
If you're in the mood to watch
football and don't want to make
the trip to LSU come over to the
Haggin Hall field and watch as
the Lambda Chis and ADPis indulge in a friendly game of UK's

Later on. if the Lambda Chis
recover, there will be a party at

The TKE's will continue in the

The Sig Eps will be spinning

should be a quiet, good time going on.
The Delt pledges will be

that this is a popular form of recreation with the Delts since the
actives will continue the fun tomorrow night.
The sororities will be feeling
sisterly as the Alpha Gams entertain the Thetas with a bridge
party and style show at the
house.
It look3 like that's all the activity for the weekend. There's
enough to keep an army busy for
a year. In parting, I would like
to welcome the members of the
debate teams here for the UK
Tournament.
If

you have the time drop in on a
debate or two they are really

U.S. teams are here.
The inspiring words for this
week are: Remember this is National Newspaper Week so Journalistic excellence shall prevail.
Since it's a busy weekend, drive
carefully.

If tonight's farm parties aren't

enough, the KA's are really doing the partying up right with a
swinging group called J.

"Blues" Palmer and the Incredible. The big feature of the
group is their 19 year old, 3 foot

The Kappa Sigs will be getting
gross tonight with their annual
"Gross Party" at the house. On
this there shall be no further
comment.
Staying in the gross mood the
Phi Taus will be having a Hay
Lay. According to the men of the
fraternity a hay wagon will pick
up the dates and transport them
back to the house where the Continentals will be playing the Virginia Reel. It should be a highly
entertaining affair.
Also on the nature boy kick,
the Fijis will be traveling by the

What Is A Newspaper
(Editor's Note: The following editorial appears in the current issue of
The Quill anil was written by Jim

author
ishop, internationally-knowof many books and a columnist for
King Features Syndicate. The Kernel
felt the editorial was appropriate in
commemoration of National News
paper Week, Oct.
What is a newspaper? A newspaper
is lumber made malleable. It is ink
made into words and pictures. It is
conceived, born, grows up, and dies
of old age in a day. Yesterday's news
paper is used to wrap today's fish.
Or to start a log fire, which brings
it back to its origin.
Most of all, a newspaper is current
information. It is the bridge between
a home and the rest of the world. It
tells of people and events swiftly and
in detail. It listens to the threats of
a dictator, the crack of a bat against
a baseball, the anguish of a lost child,
and the recipe for making cookies.
Newspapers, like people, come in
many sizes and many personalities.
Some are fat and sedentary; others are
lean and hysterical. And, like people,
some are reliable and some are not.
n here are newspapers which scream
for attention and there are others, on
the same newsstand, which whisper
the news. All newspapers reflect the
character of their owners.

must show a
profit. All newspaper owners know
this. This is why they establish good
character in their papers, and maintain it.
Character is an indefinable quality
best understood by women. They live
by it. They can detect it in merchandise, in people, in publications.
They, more than their husbands,
understand the newspaper they buy.
Men usually read the front page news,
the sports section, and their favorite features. Women .leaf through a
A good newspaper

newspaper slowly, carefully, concentrating more on local news than international, assessing the advertisements, relishing the woman's page
with its club meetings, lawn parties
and gossip, and reading the obituary
notices.

The average newspaper contains
150,000 words or more of information.

This

is the daily equivalent of two
novels. It is never perfect, never completely accurate. It is as near perfect
as a chain of human minds leading
from editor to city desk to reporter to
rewrite man to copy desk to composing room can make it.
A good newspaper maintains a bal-

ance of 10 percent news to GO percent
advertising. When wages go up, and

the price of newsprint is hiked, the
ratios can slip further apart, particularly on larger newspapers. No one
is
however, because
increased advertising has simply
meant more space for news.
A newspaper is private enterprise
for the public good. It relies on many
minds to fill it every day, in addition
to machines which chatter incessantly
about news coming from Rome, from
Bangkok, from Tokyo and Topeka.
A boy on a bicycle can take all of
these things, roll them up, and toss
them onto a front porch while chewing gum and preparing a good excuse for a poor report card. A blind
newsdealer can sell all this information for a small coin without ever
short-change-

seeing it.
In some countries, the newspapers
are the instruments of the government. In this one, the government is
sometimes the instrument of newspapers. Perhaps the best thing which
can be said about newspapers in the
United States is that they are in
chronic disagreement with each other.

This is what is meant by a free
press. A newspaper is always a little
more than the sum total of its parts.
It is also a friend who can be dropped,
or picked up at will.
What

A certain student went up to the
campus from his hometown and was
waylaid. He was waylaid by the weight
of knowledge that crushed his previously cherished childhood certainties,
lie was waylaid by the difficulty of
making relationships on his own; of
making the grade socially and academically (at once); of deciding what
profession he would study (this year).
Stripped of hope, confidence and aspiration he was left lost and lonely.
Who will prove neighbor to this student? If not another student or faculty member who can support and
sustain him in doubt; "visit" him in
difficulty; understand; help; love?
But how can one know what to
do or how to do it? And how can we
know "who" and "what" and "how"
unless we seek to know? And where
can we find the answer except in the
community of those who have known
support in doubt; strength in difficulty; help in trouble; understanding and
love in all things? A community that
has been "found" in all these ways
by another? Who is the Thou over
against which we stand, the "ultimate
ground of being and meaning," beside which there is no other.

Readers' Forum: More Comments On Congress
Criticizes AH Candidates
To The Editor:
Nominations were held on Oct. 10
for president of the .Student Congress.
Three candidates were picked. Each
cl these candidates represents a paity
of some form. One is backed by a
lraternity and another by COLT. The
third is supported by some unknown
force which hasn't made itself public
jet. Rumors say it is the old Student
Congress. This, so far, is all that is
known about the candidates.
The three parties, in our opinion,
are one big farce. The old Student
Congress Party is no good because last
year's performance proved them to
be incompetent. The Fraternity Party
is no good because COUP says they
represent only the Greeks. COUP is
no good because the Greeks say they
represent only the independents. Each
party accuses the other of being communist influenced. We are going to
have the same situation here as we
had in the gubernatorial primary last
May. Each party will be slamming the
other. Good old Kentucky politics!
Bring out the dirty wash and the
skeletons and what have you. The
false promises and beautiful platforms
will soon be flooding the campus.

What

a mess!

We are sick of the whole fiasco.
In the past, false platforms or voting
blocs have elected officers and representatives to the Student Congress.
The trading of votes and blocs has
already been attempted. We have decided to rescue the student body. We,
Alex Salhiitio and Ron Maturani,
Jiave decided to become write-icandidates lor president and vice president, respectively. We promise nothing because we intend to do absolutely nothing. You can rest assured
that we will stick to this policy too.
We will hold a meeting once a month
to make sure that everyone is doing
nothing. We won't stand for any
In the absence of the president,

the vice president will take over and
perform the same function of doing
nothing.
Of course, you will ask "Why
should we have a government that
does nothing? If elected, one of the
parties may make a mistake and do
something." Ah, but you don't know
this lor sure. Why have your hopes
built up only to have them shattered
at the end of the year when the
Student Congress reports its achievements as blown up nothings?

The platforms this year are going
to be juicy. The old Student Congress Party of course is out. The
Greeks will promise the Greeks that
they will be supporting mainly Greeks
and the independent will be promised
that he will be the main concern of
the Congress. Both will be forgotten
because this group will represent no
one but themselves. COUP claims to
do away with Greek domination and
represent the "dormies," the "town-ies,- "
the working students and the intellectually oriented. The "dormies"
and the "townies" don't care what
goes on and the workers don't have
the time to care. This leaves the intellectually oriented or, in plainer
language, those in the Honors Program since this is what COUP mainly
consists of. Will they represent the
students or the Honors Program?
The Greeks have been accused of
being elected by fraternity and sorority voting blocs. It looks like
COUP may try to do the same with
the independents. The Old Student
Congress well, forget about it. Why
lool with it? We feel it's time for a
change. We oiler no ideas, no leaders, no party, and no representation.
The title of president and vice president will look good on job applications alter graduation. We ask for
)our support but please don't give
us any ideas. When you go to the

polls, remember, Sallustio and
turani in '(53.

For Intelligent Voting

To The Editor:

During the past year I have developed an avid interest in Student
Congress. Student Congress is the
one means of students expressing
opinions to the University Faculty
and Administration with any degree
of unanimity. In the past, the Congress has not done this. It is my hope
that you, the student and the voter,
will cast your vote for individuals
who will properly represent you. This
cannot be accomplished by blindly
voting for a party or slate but must
be done by an evaluation of each individual who is running whether it
be for a seat in the assembly or for
one of the offices.
