From New York To Alaska
By STEPHEN PALMER

Kernel Staff Writer

Here's how a UK student went to Alaska
last summer on $ 0.
Perseverance, a lot of luck, and numerous
helping hands enabled Jim Owen, erstwhile
gold miner, to travel 13,(KK) miles round-trifrom New York to Alaska on his Italian
motor scooter.

Jim Owen, I K Junior, stops at the Yukon Trading Post to replenish
from
supplies on his 13,0(10 mile trip. Owen scootered round-tri- p
New York to Alaska this past summer.

The youthful Owen, distinguished by an elegant beard, is a veteran of highways and travel.
Eagerness for experience has led this Lex ing -tonian to hitchhike some 6,000 miles, scooter more
than 30,000, and hold such diverse Jobs as working in a cannery, fighting forest fires in Oregon,
and traveling one summer with the circus.
Asked about his campus activities, Owen remarked. "The only thing I took an active role in
was the abortive riot of '59. I wasn't exactly lauded
for my efforts they put me on social probation
for a semester."
He later admitted that he was Instrumental
in bringing to the campus the Samsonites, a philosophical order.
The Alaskan trip began as Owen set out from
Greenwich Village, New York, during the second
week of June, with $50, a beat-u- p
suitcase, a bag
of books, and a mattress cover. "To tell the truth"
Owen recalls, "I didn't even know how the hell
you get to Alaska. I don't use maps . . . they tend
to confuse me."
The first night out Owen stayed In a Zea
Buddhist camp in the Cutskill Mountains, a story

had swiped a stalk of bananas from a market

companion. Jim came to a breathless halt in front
of a Zen Buddhist restaurant.
A sign in the window told of the mountain
camp; just then Jim's companion recited one of the
tenets of Zen Buddhism, "In Evil there is Good."
This is how a University student got to spend a
very unusual night.

Another major saving on the trip was his singular eating habits. Owen's diet consisted of fruits,
cheese, milk, and bread. "I didn't buy a single
meal on the whole trip."
When he was hungry, Owen would stop at a
small groceiy and select about a dollar's worth of
food. Then he would ask the grocer if he could
work off the amount, sweeping, stocking shelves,
etc., it usually worked.
The trip took him from New York to Chicago,
across the Badlands, the Black Hills, into Oergon,
and up to Seattle. Although an SAE, he stayed
in the Phi Gamma Delt house in Seattle, homef
the University of Washington. The Phi Gam house
is base for the Brothers Four, and Jim met one
of the group there.
"The worst part of the trip was in Seattle. I
was broke and had gone nearly two days without
food. Finally, I found work in a small delicatessen.
In the evenings, I would go down to the waterfront.

So you, too, feci that It's almost

Strange, yet true, that you are
not at all alone, for this seems to
be a common ailment among students this semester.
Perhaps it can be blamed on
rush. With so much of it concentrated in the beginning week
of classes, maybe people just gave
up trying to study and worked at
smiling instead. Or, maybe It's
this spring weather, which is not
at all condusive to looking at books.
It could be you're one of those unfortunates who caught the flu and

that causes you too much
to attend classes. BuU
this does not need to be a chronic
disablement. Dr. Joseph O, Mol-n- er
says it is caused by tension, so
your solution would be to quit worrying and drop that class tthilo
you're still passing.
Whatever the cause might be,
the effect is the same for all bad
news for the semester. More and
more students are heard saying,
"I just don't understand, but I
can't seem to catch up."
Grins to you all, because tho
monsoon season will soon be upon
us and we will be instilled with u
new inspiration for going to classes. Just think what a callenge ii;

The Straight Jacket System

A straight jacket is a proper synonym for many of the courses taught
at the university.
Students arrive with inquisitive
minds and leave with brains filled
with categoricd facts and devoid of
intellectual curiosity.
The finger of blame points in
three directions: The educational system, professors and students themselves.

A large part of the time students
and professors spend in class is sheer
waste. For an average three-hou- r
course, a student is in a classroom
45 hours a semester.
This makes sense in the sciences
and complicated technical fields, but
there are few college subjects in the
humanities and social sciences in
which 45 hours of teacher lecturing
and student listening can be useful.
Students become acquainted with
this rigid, boring system as soon as
they arrive at the university and accept it with little complaint.
Occasionally, a student finds a
professor with a personal, fresh and
original approach to lecturing.
If he isn't that lucky during his
freshman year, by the time he does
come upon such a teacher, he will
have slipped into the habit of mechanically taking notes and memorizing facts for tests.
He then finds it difficult to take

an active interest in the subject despite the efforts of the professor to
stimulate his thoughts.
The U. S. educational system has
been severely criticicd for its stereotyped system and rigid grade requirements.
There is no quick remedy for
these ills which "straight jacket" the
minds of college students.
The seminar system used in many
graduate courses is a logical answer
to the problem. However, crowded
classrooms and lack of funds for expansion are stumbling blocks to this
remedy.
The problem of immediate improvement falls on professors and
students.
If professors are to offer stimulation for the college student's mind,
they cannot jerpetuate the high
school's assumption that students are
immature and irresjxmsible youngsters who must be told exactly what
to do and shown exactly how to do it.
The student, in turn, must use his
imagination and mental faculties to
meet the challenging opportunity of
independent study.
In this way, the straight jacket can
be removed from university courses
and minds will be free to develop,
independent of grades and course
restrictions. The Daily Athenaeum,
W. Virginia University.

Farce On Grammar
To The Editor:
Shame on you! In your reproduction (Friday, Oct. 13) of the article
from the Fine Arts Building bulletin
board ('Art Critic'Spoofs Exhibition)
you spoiled a masterpiece. In the
opinion of this reader, the article
should have been reproduced in the
original, thereby permitting the entire campus to appreciate it more
fully.
I apologize also. I must admit that
I did not recognize it as a "satire
on art" either. I thought it came closer
to being a "farce on grammar." Prior
to the appearance of this article on
a University bulletin board, I thought
it inconceivable that a college student could abuse our language so
beautifully.
You are to be congratulated on
your successful deciphering of this
piece, at the expense of the "artistic
touch." I suggest, now that the article
has been appreciated by the Art Department, that it be posted in McVey
Hall for the benefit of the English
Department (to see if they can recognize satire through the strikeovers,
around the crossed-ou- t
words, while
correcting spelling.)
James E. Morman

Instructor Reciprocates

.

To The Editor:
In your column (Headers' Forum)
of Oct. 13, a student suggested that I
might profit from a course in logic.
I would reciprocate by suggesting that
he might benefit from a course in
reading comprehension. For, a reading of the article to which he refers
will reveal that the statement regarding the alleged selfishness of students
is clearly attributed to another faculty member, not to me. I did not
make the statement; nor do I endorse
it. Admittedly the headline is misleading; however, one is obligated to ex

ercise caie in reading beyond the
headlines.
And how does one infer from the
article that what I said alxnit
classes are offered as a picmise leading to the conclusion that students are selfish? As
a matter of fact, the two statements
were completely unrelated. My remark was made while relating my cx- pertence with students who frequently
select courses on the basis of the time
they are given rather than on the
basis of the subject matter involved.

United Nations diplomats are bracing themselves for the shock wave
which is likely to hit this organization
when Red China is seated.
Only a minor miracle can prevent
Feiping from taking its seat this year,
U.N. people believe. This event, coining on top of the death of Dag
is likely to rock the U.N.
to its foundations. The U.N. depends
heavily on American public support.
And the Red China crisis is essentially unnecessary. The bedrock truth,
according to the best sources, is that
Nationalist China has the power to
save herself and refuses to do it.
She seems determined to commit
political suicide.
The story is this:
Mauritania, a sister state of 12
former French colonies in Africa, is
waiting in the U.N. anteroom, eager
to consolidate her newly won independence by admission to the world

community.
Russia, wooing Morocco (which
covets Mauritania's territory) has contrived to link the admission of Mauritania to that of Outer Mongolia. Roth
w ill come in, Moscow says, or neither.
And Generalissimo Chiang
will not let in Outer Mongolia.
So loth countries stand to lose.
It is illogical, observers say, for
the African friends of Mauritania to
Kai-she-

blame China rather than Russia for
the deadlock. Rut it is a fact. They
do blame China. And they say they
will take revenge by casting the decisive votes to oust her delegate, Dr.
T. F. Tsiang.
They can do it; they hold the balance of power.
Tsiang is one of the ablest diplomats here. lie knows the day of decision has arrived. He cabled home
this past week urging a policy shift.
Chiang could change his mind, but
as of this writing, his orders to Tsiang
still are to block Mongolia, whatever
the cost.
No one knows for sure what the
Gissimo's reason for this stand is. lie
says it is a matter of refusing to pay
blackmail, and this may in fact be
the reason. He may believe that something will turn up that the United
. States, under immense domestic pressure to bar Red China, will devise
some miracle to stave oil the axe.
He is said to live in the past, as
do many men of his generation. To
him, 1913 is as vivid as yesterday. In
1913, the Russians promised him they
would not help the Chinese Communists take over the mainland. In return
for this promise, he agreed to recognize the independence of Outer Mongoliathat is, in effect, to cede it to
Russia.
Stalin then
Chiang.
The Soviet dictator did not give Mao
double-crosse-

d

all the help Mao wanted,
by any means, but he did give significant help. Now Chiang refuses to
let the U.N. ratify the separation of
Outer Mongolia from China.
The United States, living in the
present, has moved heaven and earth
to persuade Chiang to change his
mind. It has argued that the U.N.
seat is worth more a lot more than
Outer Mongolia. Hut as yet, these
pleas have had no visible elfect.
Chiang wants the United States
to put enough pressure on other members of the Security Council to prevent Outer Mongolia from getting a
seven-vot- e
majority. Then it would
not' be or at least might not seem to
be China which had blocked Mongolia.
At one point, the United States
s
favored a
solution, with
Red China seated as China and Nationalist China as Formosa. Hut
Chiang absolutely refused to consider
it. He said he would rather have no
representation in the U.N. than
represented as the government of
Formosa.
He would rather be out of the
U.N., he said, with his claim to China
intact in his eyes, than be in the U.N.
with that claim shattered and abandoned.
Many Americans here, knowing
the inside st'ory, are bitter about the
Chinese stand. They fear that Con
Tse-tun- g

gress and a large sector of American
public opinion, not knowing the whole
story, will blame the Kennedy Administration, rather than Chiang, for
Red China's triumph.
The greater the political damage
to President Kennedy, the greater is
like'y to be the resentment at Chiang's
failure to help save himself and
hence the greater the damage to
relations.
The mt (fleet could be to jolt
the United States wholly out of its
policy (if close alliance with Nationalist China and into a policy of attempted reconciliation with Feiping.
A hundred questions immediately
arise.
How great, in fact, will be the
explosion of American opinion against
the U.N.? Has the extent of
sentiment been exaggerated
by the China Lobby? Do a good
many Americans think it would be
practical and realistic to have the do
factor government of China in the
U.N. or would they think the U.N.
had sold its morals clown the Yangtze
River?
There are no end of questions.
Perhaps one of the most important is:
Would U.N. membership for Red
China give the West new opportunities to exploit and magnify Moscovv-Peipin- g
elifleiences?
The woild-wi- th

help is likely to find out soon.
