Centennial Committee Announces Projects

Eight major program areas in which the Student
Centennial Committee will function during the remainder of the University Centennial Year have been unveiled by the committee cochairmen.
Arthur Henderson

and Mrs. James Svara, SCC

and the subcommittee chairmen met last
week at Carnahan House and outlined the programs
which the student committee will work on during the
remainder of the Centennial.
Henderson, a senior chemical engineering major,
said the projects to be accomplished could be subdivided
into three categories.
"There are those projects that were initiated by last
year's committee which will be finished or reinitiated
by this year's committee," he said.
"Secondly," he added, "there will be totally new
projects initiated by this year's committee."
Henderson said the third area was comprised of
"projects that are an outgrowth of programs initiated
by last year's committee but which have been revised
and expanded by this year's committee."
Under the continuing projects, Henderson listed the
programs being conducted by the subcommittees on

Evaluation of Teaching, Research and Creativity, Ceremonials, and the Political Forum.
Frank H. Bailey, College of Law freshman, is chairman of the Evaluation of Teaching subcommittee.
The
goal of the subcommittee will be
conducted in three phases of study.
In a report to the cochairmen, Bailey said the two
purposes were "to aid the University in devising and
conducting an improved method for evaluating its faculty with regard to the performance in the classroom and
to attempt to improve the communication and understanding between faculty members and students."
To achieve this the subcommittee plans to establish
criteria for measuring teaching effectiveness, to determine how the criteria instrument might best be applied,
and to use the instrument to evaluate individual faculty members.
Phase one and two of the subcommittee's work are
scheduled for completion by the 'end of this semester.
Bailey said that if an improved means of evaluating
teaching effectiveness is developed, "it is recommended
that the process devised here be continued as a part of
the University' iennanent program." It is thought that
two-purpo-

the Office of Institutional Studies may wish to adopt
the evaluation process.

In helping to improve communication and understanding about the teaching role between students and
faculty, the subcommittee intends to make periodic
progress reports and to make a summary report on the
instrument of evaluation available to the faculty and to
the students.
The Research and Creativity subcommittee under
the direction of chairmen John Roach, Engineering
senior, and Sally Cregory, Arts and Sciences senior-w- ill
conduct an expanded undergraduate research paper
program.
Under the subcommittee's guidance, a competition
of undergraduate research papers will be held in the
fields of physical and biological sciences, humanities,
social sciences, and fine arts. The most outstanding
papers, selected by a faculty committee, will be published and presented at a conference and recognition
will be given to the authors at a banquet.
In addition to creating an interest in undergraduate
research, the committee hopes to spark the spirit of

Book Review

Art Exhibit
Opens Today

'Sometimes A Great Notion9
Could Be Best Novel Of Decade

An exhibition of cast aluminum sculptures and drawings by
Fret! Sauls, University instructor
in art, will be open with a two-horeception beginning at 7
p.m.'today in the Fine Arts Cal-lerur

y.

The Sauls show will reopen
on Friday and continue through
Oct. 6.
Most of the sculptures and
paintings were done by Sauls
during the summer on a creative
research grant awarded by UK.
Sauls has been able to develop
techniques so that sculptures up
to ten feet high now can be cast
with a single pour of metal.
The sculptures were cast by
pouring aluminum, heated from
1,300 to 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit, into styrofoam molds. Most
of the 25 sculptures have a natural aluminum finish. A few have
a matte surface.
The drawings to be exhibited
have aluminum paint as the prima ry color.

Reigns Of Centennial Committee Still In Svara Hands

Student Centennial committee chairmanships run in the
family for the James H. Svaras.
Jim, a May graduate of the

may sound hectic, but according
to Claudia it's been that way
all along.
Planning originally to be
married in December, they made
a change in plans early in the
summer when they realized Jim
would be unable to return to
the United States at Christmastime.

His wife, the former Claudia
Kay Jeffrey of Avondale

Ca., and a senior at the

The wedding was rescheduled

for Aug. 6, and since it was to

sity, is currently
the committee.
Nobody can cite "nepotism"
in this case, however, as Claudia
and Jim were not married until
last Aug. 6, several months after
her appointment to the

Centennial chairmanships are
not the only exciting things in
the Svaras lives. Jim will leave
later this week for an extensive
tour of South America, Africa,
parts of Asia, and Europe under
a grant from the Corning Glass
Works Company.
The grant, awarded to seven
students only in the United
States, entitles Jim to travel for
a year anywhere he chooses. He
now plans to visit Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Creccc, Nigeria,
Ghana, India, and several European countries.
Claudia will join him in
Athens, Greece, when she finishes her UK work in December,
They will remain overseas- until
late July.

National Defense Loans for

of all the loans granted during
the entire preceeding year, according to Ordie Davis, director
of Student loans.
Some 961 loans, totaling
$451,750 were given last year.
During this semester, 670 loans
have been approved totaling
$215,200. In addition to a large
increase on the. main campus,
the community colleges have also
made increases, according to
Davis.
Some 48 students in nine Community Colleges received a total
of $7,375 worth of loans.
Perhaps the biggest increase in
loans came in the Health Profession Schools. Medical school
was granted some 103 loans corresponding to 78 granted last

� New Family Members
The opening of two more University community colleges this
month brings renewed attention to
one of the outstanding accomplishments of the Oswald administration.
Acceleration of community college development closely paralleled
the arrival of Dr. Oswald, a veteran of the UniversityofCalifomia,
the old grandfather of the community college system.
One of Dr. Oswald's first moves
was to group existing and planned
colleges into a new system administered from a central office on
the Lexington campus.
Such a move was necessary to
organize growth of the institutions,
bringing them in line with the
academic plan for the entire university in which development of
the colleges are to play a vital

part.
In his academic plan for UK,
President Oswald outlined a new
function for colleges, to assume

International Craze

gradually the responsibility for the
bulk of lower division education.
Transferring lower division education to the community colleges
would allow the Lexington campus
to emphasize a strong upper division and graduate program, essential if the University is to become
one of the nation's leading educational institutions.
The colleges also have made
education available more widely to
state students by their location and
curriculum
technical
including
training programs.
Enrollment in the colleges has
been rising steadily with an increase of .88 percent in the 9 colleges this fall. Total enrollment has
reached 4,744.
Each year the colleges assume
a greater portion of the lower division education.
We welcome the addition of
Hopkinsville and Somerset colleges
to the University family and hope
the current growth rate of two new
colleges a year may be maintained.

Impractical Policies
Several new dining hall service
policies imposed for the first time
this year may be somewhat unfair
to students.
Requiring students living in
Cooperstown to buy meal tickets
seems both impractical and un-

just.

Why the University would set
such a requirement when the apartments are fully equipped with
kitchens is unclear. It would seem
the housing officials would be
anxious to relieve the three already
overcrowded campus cafeterias.
Likely some of the Cooperstown
residents would have preferred to
prepare their own meals, either to
save money or to gain house managing experience.
Many of them, hoping for the
experience of preparing their own
meals along with the safety and
other advantages of University-owne- d
units, have said they are
disappointed.
The kitchens, used only last year
by married student residents, are
equipped and ready for use with
no further expense to the University.
Walking to Donovan Hall, the
nearest cafeteria, might be inconvenient, especially in bad weather.
Certainly the University could
not expect all occupants of the
Cooperstown units to prepare
meals, especially those who had

tkt JOrfn ft

not specifically requested apartment accommodations, but purchase of meal tickets should be
made optional so that those who
prefer to be their own dietitians may

Another unfair change in policy
is the refusal to give partial refunds on board charges to student
teachers, who never eat weekday
lunches in the University cafeterias.

Traditionally,

refund on board charges to
these students. This year, however,
officials will allow either a complete refund and loss of dining

Those who have complained
have been told that distinguishing
between meal tickets of regular
students and student teachers
would be difficult. This hardly
seems like a reasonable excuse.
Some distinguishing mark could
be applied easily.
Student Congress has appointed
a special committee to investigate
problems in dining room service.
The committee will file its report
with administrators of the dining
services.
We hope they will include in
their recommendations optional
meal tickets for Cooperstown residents and refunds for student
teachers.

Facelifting
mable

The creaking, crusty much-con- demned social sciences building,
affectionately termed Splinter Hall,
has received a new coat of paint
during recent months.
The "temporary" building, a
prominent feature on campus since
War II days, has
the
lost some of its history with the
new paint job. Names, fraternity
letters, and dates scrawled on its
walls by generations of University
students have fallen beneath the
brush.
the extra coat of flam- Perhaps
post-Worl- d

paint was meant to make the
structure, a surplus army barrack,
look less dangerous and more inhabitable.
And the decorating may be a
sign that that old campus landmark,
for some time first on the priority
list for destruction, will be with us a
little longer long enough to collect
another coat of signatures, Creek
letters, and numerals.

Poverty's Need

If it was not already apparent,
there now is no hiding the fact
that the Office of Economic Opportunity (the Poverty program)
is in deep trouble. Six of Poverty
Director Sargent Shriver's top men,
including his chief deputy, suddenly are leaving. House Democrats,
who successfully fought down unwanted Republican amendments on
this year's program, no longer are
bothering to hide their dismay.
The House Education and
Labor Committee is launching a
Nation-wid- e
investigation, particularly on that tempting political
pork barrel, the Community Action
Program, and are making it clear
that the Poverty Program, suffering
from acute indigestion, can no
longer carry on with only a part-tim- e
director.

The war on poverty is perhaps
the most difficult and needed domestic task facing President Johnson. It needs every encouragement.
But the President must come to
realize that even a
public servant like Mr. Shrivercan-no- t
continue to run such an important and expanding operation as
the Peace Corps, while he also
tries to get the Poverty Program
a far larger and trickier challenge,
into some working operation.
It has never been clear that Mr.
Shriver either sought or wanted
both jobs. But it has been pretty

evident that President Johnson has
been insisting that he hold on to
them. And perhaps the dynamism
inherent in both men has been
responsible for the frantic pace in
Poverty which seems to demand
that tomorrow's work be accomplished yesterday.
But even with Mr. Shriver's
intercom system between his two
Washington offices, and his unending dashes around the country,
he cannot meet the challenges to
the program. And the principal
challenge is one which has defied
adminismany a
before: the local grab for
trator
y
Federal money. The
politicians, the county courthouse
e
welfare and
crowd, the
educational professionals, now all
vie in speaking for the poor so
that they may get their hands on
the huge Federal funds available
for disbursement.
It is easy to understand how
the national pressures generated by
the civil rights movement have
given a tremendous urgency to the
Poverty program. It is readily acknowledged that both the President and Mr. Shriver want to do
their best. But it now has been
just a year since the Poverty program was given its birthright by
Congress. And the experience has
e
proved that it now demands

Centennial Committee Plans Projects

Continued from rage 1
academics among the participants in the High School Leader
ship Conference, another SCC
project, by having them attend
the banquet and conferences
which is scheduled for next semester.
The subcommittee chairmen
hope that the expanded program
will initiate a greater interest in
the program, and, in fact, help it
become a ermanant feature of
the University calendar.
The ceremonials subcommittee chairmen, Michael Fields,
Commerce senior, and Fred Myers, engineering senior, intend to
make the Centennial events more
memorable by carrying out a full
program of activities.
The first bin project planned
jointly by the subcommittee and
other campus and alumni organizations is the Centennial homecoming festixities. Already slated
for the homecoming activities are
a concert featuring the Four
Preps, a dance featuring the
Sammy Kaye Orchestra, a pep
rally, a queen contest and a parade.
Another amont the continuing
projects xvhich foreseeably could
become a permanent part of the
University's year is the Political
Forum.
Linda Mills. Arts and Science
senior, is chairman of the Political Forum subcommittee.
Two programs for the forum
were suggested for this semester.
An address by a spokesman
for American foreign policy is the
