Armory Museum Houses Rare Guns

By TERRY TROVATO

Kernel Assistant Daily Editor
Probably one of the most
unknown museums in the
Lexington area consists of a
number of gun cases which
are found in the
IJuell Armory on the University of Kentucky campus.
This

museum

contains

arti-

facts which concern some phase

of military history, foreign as well
as American. Such things as a
bugle used in the Boer War to
a bullet mold for an 1874 Winchester .44 are found in the cases.

Forty color plates showing various American dress and fatigue
uniforms from the Revolutionary
War Period to the present are
mounted on one of the walls.
Also, there are 13 large drawings
entitled "The U. S., Army In Action" which portray famous battle
scenes in American history.
Four gun cases house 33 pistols
and 26 rifles, which range from
a flint lock blunderbuss pistol
from the
bearing inscriptions
Koran to a World War I German Spandau water cooled machine gun. Most of the weapons
are either of a flint lock or cap
and ball variety, and one of the

V

,

recently controversial Kentucky
Long Rifles is also present.
Other items of Interest include
Japanese Samurl sword and a
Nazi belt buckle. Another case on
the wall contains miniature models of all the military decorations
given by the United States Army.
All items found in the gun
cases were donated by friends of
the University. Besides this museum being of historical value,
Buell Armory is also of historical
significance.
Erected in 1901 as ". . . one of
the finest gymnasiums in the
South," Buell Armory currently
serves as headquarters for the

Military Science Department.
Buell Armory consisted of three
parts. The right wing served as
a gym, the middle section as office space and a recreation area,
and the left wing as an armory
for drilling In bad weather. The
upper floors of the middle section
served as offices for such organizations as the Patterson Society, the YMCA, and the Alumni
Association. In the basement were
locker rooms and a swimming
pool.
The building was named for
Union General Don Carlos Buell,
who supposedly saved Grant's
army from destruction at Shiloh.

Buell was born in Ohio in 181S,
and graduated from West Point
in 1841.
After his discharge from the
army at the end of the war, he
moved to the Green River district
of Western Kentucky and began
drilling for oil but, instead, discovered great quantities of coal.
He became a member of the University Board of Trustees in the
1880's.

In 1931, the name of the building was changed from Buell Armory to Barker Hall, in honor of
Judge Henry Stites Barker, who
served as president of the University from 1911 to 1317.

The universal question as to
who assumes leadership positions
was an apparent at the annual
Leadership Conference, Saturday,
ns it is in most organisational
meetings.
The first question to be settled
in the discussion groups was
"Who leads?" Alter a few moments of conversational rivalry
In which it was decided that four
or five usually dominate discussions, the tone of the entire conference was established.
The role of the faculty delegates was to act only as a group
member rather than a discussion
leader. By the use of this method,
students were forced to resolve
their own problems instead of depending on the adviser for leadership.
This situation immediately
brought up the question of "What
is entailed in effective leadership?" and students discussed the
primary obstacle communicating
effectively.
It was also pointed out that
communication, although essential to leadership, was not nces-sari- ly
indicative of a leader. An- -

other factor stated was that one
of the requirements of effective
leadership was the ability to
motivate the group. However,

some members of the Conference
believed this concept to be an
ideal. This belief was partially
exemplified by stating that those
who assume conversational
w i t h i n discussion
groups often fail to bring other
niemLers into the debate.
The question then arose as to
whether those who assume leadership roles really fail to motivate groups or whether they are
unwilling to offer the opportunity
for others to take part in discussions. It was suggested that
those persons in leadership positions may be hesitant to delegate
responsibility to other capable
individuals because it might result in a threat to their position.
This reluctance, it was also
mentioned, may be due to a fear
that "leaders do not have a
right to be wrong." Therefore,
a person in charge of an organization may not delegate responsibility to the members because
a failure to fulfill the obligation
may be detrimental to the success of the organization and,

therefore, reflect upon the per
son in the leadership capacity.
Discussion groups were headc-by Miss Doris Seward, dean of
women; Fred Strache, fraternity
adviser: Dr. James Gladden, department of Sociology; Dr. J. W.
Patterson, Department of Speech."
Dr. John Kii'per, Department of
Philosophy: c. M. Johnson, Department of Sociology; and Mrs.
Wayne Smith, director of women's residence halls.
The conference was sponsored
by Links, Mortar Board, Lances,
and Omicron Delta Kappa.

Troupers Entertain
Crippled Children
UK Troupers, an organization
of student talent on campus, presented its first show Thursday
night at the Lexington Shriners'
Hospital for Crippled Children.
Both old Troupers and new

doing so presented all kinds of
talent for the children's enjoyment. They watched the show
from their beds and wheelchairs.
Dancing was featured in several different forms. Melinda
a modern jazz numManning-diber, Glenna Shotwell did her
toe routine, and Margaret Thompson performed a specialty number. Candy Johnson and Lois
"Cookie" Koch had a dance duo.
Oayla Hubbard provided the
vocal entertainment with "High
Hopes" and a Peter, Paul, and
Mary song, "If I Had a Little
Dog." She was accompanied by
Martha Carpenter on piano.
The girl tumblers, Becky Burk-loDonna Caywood, andKathy
Cassidy, did a routine of their
own, and the hoys followed with
their routine featuring Tommy
Jeter, Jim Klamo, Bob Karsner,
Norm Hershfield, Charles Sither,
Ismet Sahin, Don Jaeger, Steve
Dave Luckett. Then
Stewart,
Tommy Jeter, Jim Klamo, and
Mack performed their
Shirley
unique "swing adagio" act of
tumbling stunts for two boys and
a girl.
The boy tumblers reappeared
to finish off the evening with a
clown act that delighted the children.
The Troupers plan on several
more shows this semester, one
bring a benefit in the near future
for Eastern State Hospital. Ten- -

between Weehawken, N.J., and
Manhattan, now is in semiretire-mein Florida.
The big vessel, which crossed
the Hudson River for the last
time in March 1959, has been

tative plans are also being made
for a gymnastic exhibition to be
given on campus before the end
of the fall semester.
Four students were recently
voted into Trouper membership
following tryouts conducted last
Tuesday night in the Lab Theatre
of the Fine Arts Building.
Under renditions simulating an
actual show, prospective members
presented one number of their
own rhoosinr, on the stage. They
were then dismissed, and active

routine; Paula Fletcher
for her combination piano and
number; singer Marianne Schneider for her rendition
of "Tammy;" and Sharon Srhultz
for her danre number, "Charleston."
Formal tryouts will be held
again next Tuesday evening, and
anyone possessing talent of any
kind is urged to attend. The location for next Tuesday's meeting
will be Room 107 of the Alumni

COUP
Opposes
Revisions
The Committee on United Participation has issued the following
statement on the proposed Student Congress constitutional
amendments:
"COUP cannot support the entire list of amendments proposed
at the last Student Congress
meeting. Reducing the size of
Congress is sound. However,
Graduate School is grosely
"Although this school is not
participated actively in Student
Congress in the past, 1047 students are enrolled in Graduate
School. Considering both factors,
COUP favors four representatives
for the Graduate School.
"Second, the amendment requiring a year's membership in
Congress to run for an office will
contribute to a static Congress.
The opportunity for all students
to run will increase participation
and interest of members and
alike.
"Third, COUP opposes lowering the. qualification for members to 2.0. In most cases, this
will permit students to run who
do not have a sound scholastic
foundation for the added duties
of Student Congress membership."
The statement was signed by
James sarra, chairman of the
COUP steering committee.

An exhibition of Prideau John
Selby's engravings of British land
and water birds is now on display
at the Spindletop Research Center.
The works of Selby, a 19th
Century English naturalist and
artist, will be the first of a display piogram in the Research
Center's new Administration
building' on the Iran Works Pike.
The prints now on display present their subjects in life size
g
and exact detail. The
of the engravings was overseen by Selby to ensure faithful
portrayal of markings and plumage.
The display, loaned by a California collector, is taken from
original folios of Selbj's work
published in London and Edinburgh in 1821 and 1833.
Selby's bird prints, which are
little known in this country, are
similar in style to those made
by his friend, John James Au''
dubon.
The English artist owned
sketches and engravings made by
Audubon on his trips through
the Mississippi Valley and during his stays In Kentucky.
The Spindletop exhibits will be
on view during weekday working

This is the first year in which
senior privileges will be in effect
for both the fall and spring
semesters. The plan was initiated
last winter.
The over-a- ll
plan for senior
privileges was taken from the
ideas of each individual
separate
housing unit. Every dorm and
sorority house submitted its own
plan geared to suit its needs in
numbers and facilities. Each unit
took into consideration the number of students it housed and the
lay-oof the building.
Miss Skip Harris, assistant dean
of women, said that the individual plans of the units are very
simTlar except for a few minor differences. For Instance, some sorority houses are issuing keys to
seniors for use after closing
hours. Since this is not possible
in the dorms, these units are
using a "buddy system" In which

Tlie Kentucky Kernel

A Traffic Problem

The Kernel is beginning to won-tie- r
about the city of Lexington ami
the traffic ilepartnicnt. Since eaily
May they have been in the process
cf widening the portion of Limestone Street from Waller Avenue to
.Virginia Avenue, in front of the
.College of the Bible.
During June the traffic engineers
and contractors blamed the utility
companies for dela)ing construction.
TJhe utility poles and water lines
vere not moved so the contractors
could begin paving. That was supposedly reconciled and renewed prog-les- s
made.
But the street is now getting its
second coat of asphalt topping. The
Kernel is wondering why the paving

r

is taking so long to complete.

Students and faculty members are
finding it difficult to get to school
from the south end of Lexington.
The traffic is slowed clown by the
one lane throughway on Rose Street.
The portions of Limestone from the
former intersection of Rose Street to
past the Jefferson Davis Elementary
School and in front of the College
of Agriculture is still practically impassable.
The Kernel hopes the paving will
be completed before winter, and travel
over this route will be permitted
soon. The project has taken four
months to reach the stage of paving.
Will it take another four months to
street?
complete the new four-lane

Campus Parable

Toli tics is very much in the campus limelight today. Not only do we
Jiave our troubles in University politics, but the gubernatorial forces are
jjlso hard at work among us.
Too many back away from the
Challenge of politics, considering it
Useless or unrepresentative.
The result of this failure to accept the political challenge is to often leave positions of responsibility to the weak, the
autocratic, or the unscrupulous.
A Christian is challenged to relate a community's economic interests
to its social interests. Therefore he is
challenged to be concerned for pol

itics and its exercise. He accepts God
as the source of power, and suspects
that man, made in divine image, cannot develop fully without the exercise of civil responsibility in all fullness and responsibility.

It is to the Christian students' interest to strive for a university community where solutions to the problem of political action will encourage
all toward commitment in a vocation
and to the freedom of becoming
"something" under God.

Letters To The Editor
Praises Dormitories
To The

Editor:

In answer to some recent criticisms
aimed at University officials over
crowded domitories, accommodations
and housing in general, let me offer
some rebuttal.

I have checked both the men's
dormitories, where two young friends
are housed and also one of the women's halls where my daughter is living.
1 was agreeably surprised in both.
The men's room, on the fourth
floor at Donovan, was clean, light,
airy and the closets, book shelves, beds
and general appearance were far better than anything I've seen any place
else. The bathroom across the hall
was better than any others I have
seen at other schools.
Although my daughter must share
her room with two other girls, it is
adequate. The biggest praise is for

the cafeteria for the women. Because
of my employment I must eat most
of my meals out, none compare with
ess
the meals served for the
of price.
women-regardl-

When you come right clown to it
both the men and women are getting their housing free, when you

compare the cost of the meals to them
and all other free service instruction,
accommodations and care they receive.

You could be forced to live in a

tent and you would be ahead at the
low cost per semester at the Univcr-versit- y
of Kentucky.
line
Step across that Mason-Dixoand pay upwards of $1,500 for tuition
alone, plus another $1,500 for food
and lodgings, and you will find that
anyone who is admitted to the University of Kentucky is lucky indeed.

Research Underway On Standardized Tests

f (Editor's Note Published below are
excerpts from the October issue of
the NEA Journal, relative to the
values of intellect-testinprograms.
The article was written by David A.
Goslin, associate sociologist of the
Russell Sage Foundation, New York.)
The use of published instruments
for the measurement of intelligence,
aptitude, and achievement is common
piactice in almost every grade from
kindergarten through senior high
school in a large majority of American schools.
In a recently completed study of
elementary school testing programs in
Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, only three out of 575 principals
sampled reported that no standardized tests are used in their schools, and
in over 90 percent of the schools surveyed, four or more tests are given
annually. Seventy-fivprincipals replied that 10 or more standardized
tests are administered in the first six
grades. These data, incidentally, count
achievement batteries as a single test
and do not include
tests or the semistandardized reading
achievement tests that come with
many elementary reading textbooks,
i
Comparable data on secondary
school testing, which have been
by a number of investigators,
indicate that upwards of 75 million
standardized ability tests are
