ngiisn proiessors expressed tneir coniKience
in the ability of Dr. Sheldon Grebstein, former UK English
professor who has recently been suspended from the faculty
of the University of South Florida.
rrM

Dr. William S. Ward, head of

the English Department, said he

Dr. Grebstein was a man
hieh character and most eonsci- entious in his selection of material
to be used in classes.
He expressed the belief that Dr.
Orebstem would not have used the
material in question had he not
thought it to be in accordance
with the State Board of Control's
requirements.
The requirements state that all
material used in classes be pertinent to the subject; be the best obtainable available material on the
subject; and be in the purview of
good taste and common decency.
"The real issue here seems to be
that of whether outside committees
and groups have the right to die- tate to a university concerning its
internal problems," Ward stated,

The investigation is expected to
continue for another week or more
before the board makes any de- cision about the matter.
Sources have indicated that a

"I would say this: if things are
not cleared up satisfactorily they
are going to have mass resignations down here," Grebstein pointed out.
The material used by Grebstein
was ohiprted to bv an investigative
committee that was formed under
the leadership of former Governor
Johns of Florida. This committee
was formed to cope with what that
former governor feared was "a
tide of communism and perversion."
In recent years the committee
has gained notoriety by uncovering scandals at many of the Florida school.
When asked about this, Grebstein said. 'There has been a
Senate
committee
investigating
down here that is a little bit like
'old' Senator Joe McCarthy's back

"They were here this past spring,
before I came, and conducted an

months. They didn't find anything

There have been student petitions circulating around the campus and numerous student organizations backing Grebstein against

Well, more time passed, and I

doctor got the lemon, and the boy
didn't have the expected disease,
so needless to say I returned to
a normal state of mind.
It was my turn. "I have a little

"Hmm, hmm." Sparing you the

� Long Overdue

We would like to thank the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences for waking up to the tact that
fven freshmen and sophomore men
are here for an education and not to

learn how to

However, the apathetic and farcical way in which the classes are
conducted and in which the students
participate leaves room for donht as
to the validity of requiring every University man to participate in the program his first two years.
To paraphrase the words of Mr.

How do we love thee, ROTC?
Let us count the ways. . . .

But most of all, ROTC, we love

Then, we love thee, too, as we

sleep which might make us a little
more alert lor our history exams.

Students who will take ROTC will
be those who are sincerely interested
in it. For this reason, the department
w ill be able to step up their courses,
make them more interesting and more
academic.
Rut for those people who are here
for a purely academic education, the
ROTC program is a waste of valuable
time. It is a waste of eight credit
hours of classes over a period of two
years which could be put to much
better use.

The Kernel feels this move on the
part of the College of Arts and Sciences faculty has been coming for
some time particularly with the entrance into the University of better
and more serious students and the
advent of better educational standards.
Now we shall wait for an "OK"
from the University Faculty and for
the other colleges at UK to follow suit.

Sentiment appears to be growing
here at United Nations headquarters

lor action to put the world organization on a sounder financial basis.
There is not yet a ground swell,
observers say, but supporters of a vigorous and cllective UN are beginning
to feel encouraged.
One indication of the new atmosphere came when Frank Aiken, Foreign Minister of the Republic of Ireland, spoke out strongly lor compulsory payment of all dues. His stand
was not unexpected, but it hinted at
a "tough" attitude on the part of
neutrals.

ROTC is fine for those people who
are so inclined. It is fine for those
people who wish to go into the advanced program and make a career

THE READERS' FORUM
Action Called For
To The Editor:
In our recent Student Congress
election of the
Progressive
ticket was 9S percent elected. Of the
43 students running as progressive
and endorsed hy Ron Nickell, Lockie
Overby, and Joe Coughlin, spring
elected Student Congress officers, 42
were elected by the student body.

These 42 students claim to stand
for a progressive University community, progressive efficient representation, and progressive independent thought whatever this might
mean.
These students who stand for
"progress" asked that they be elected
to serve as representatives to Student
Congress. They received the overwhelming support of the student body
by winning with the largest majorities in every college. These majorities,
in my opinion, must fndicate the confidence which UK students place in
their votes for progress.
Progressives, you are challenged
to accept this confidence of your

electorate and show the student body
the progress which is promised and
which ought to be the aim of all
Student Congress
newly elected
members.
Progress as defined by Webster is
a moving forward or an advance. An
advance or moving forward of Student Congress should soon be evident
as a consequence of the election of
the progressives to Student Congress.
I am a firm believer in the cliche
"Actions speak louder than words."
The words of you, the progressives,
have been heard. We now await your
actions for "progress."

governments probably would pay.
Their past objections have not
been on grounds of principle, but on
the practical ground that they could
not afford the expenditure that the
great powers, with major responsibility for world peace, should shoulder
a larger share.
A World Court advisory opinion
this summer that all dues, specifically
those for peace forces, like UNEF
anil the Congo, are obligatory
is
credited with contributing most to
the change in climate.
In the case of the Latin Americans and the Arabs, at least, the court
is believed to have been the decisive
factor.
Another element is the mounting
UN debt hanging over the heads of
all members. Acting Secretary-Genera- l
U Thant disclosed recently that as of
Aug. 31, it amounted to $106,100,000.
United States purchase of up to
$100,000,000 in UN bonds on a matching basis is expected to consolidate
a substantial part of this debt. So far,
other countries have bought $27,810,- -

000 worth and promised to buy
other $45,G9S,237, for a total of

an$73,-50S.25- 7.

If all pledges are redeemed and
the United States matches the full
$73,000,(X)0, the UN will have some
$119,000,000 more in cash on hand.
However, the excess of expenditures over income between now and
Dec. 31 is expected to be roughly
$03,000,000, again putting the UN
substantially in the red.

The bond issue, in short, is lifting
the UN's head above water as of this
fall, but the water is continuing to
rise.
How the organization will stay solvent in the future is the unanswered
question.
If all, or nearly all, except the
Soviet bloc pay their dues, the immediate crisis will be cased, but
France's resistance has yet to be modified, and a number of African countries often follow the French lead.
Mr. Aiken suggested that the Secretbe entitled, in the nor
ary-Ceneral

mal course of events, to borrow
enough to cover all activities authorized by UN organs. He said this
method was normal with many national governments.
However, there is strong opposition to further borrowing hy the UN.
The United States Congress might
well refuse to approve any further
American loans, observers believe.
Indeed, the money for the present
bond purchase has not been appropriated in Congress as yet, though it has
been authorized.
Mr. Aiken denounced the Soviet
effort to obtain a "financial veto" over
UN decisions. He said other members
were "morally and legally bound by
all means open to us to circumvent
any attempt to reduce our organization to financial impotence. . . ."
One means open to the UN would
be to make clear that any country in
arrears more than two years will lose
its xote in the UN General Assembly, as the charter provides. The
United States plans to ptopose thftt
the assembly so rule.
