"America today is engaged in the struggle of individual initia­tive
versus 'parentalism,'" said Howard C. Bowles, a staff director
of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, in a talk to the Law School

Mr. Bowles defined "parenta­lism"
as the attitud-e on the part
of the great mass of people of
finding "security" in the govern­ment,
of allowing the government
to think for and dictate the ac­tions
of each individual person.
As evidence of this trend, Mr.
Bowles cited the recent speech by
President Truman at the Jackson
Day Dinner in which the Presi­dent
used the word "worker"
nineteen times.
Mr. Bowles pointed to the fact
that four years ago the word "re
actionary" was foreign to the vo­cabulary
of the Louisville Cour­ier-
Journal but now it is a com­monly-
used expression denoting
anyone opposed to the expansion
of government in the field of wel­fare.
Security found in government,
emphasized Mr. Bowles, is a false
security, and, in the last analysis,
results in the total destruction of
personnel freedom and liberties .
The real security, he believes,
lies in the knowledge within one's
own self of his ability and his
capability.
Bowles Has Solution
This inner satisfaction which
gives rise to the drive of initia­tive
expression is the American
way, the principle upon which
our country flourished and at­tained
the pinnacle.
Bowles described the very ra­pid
progress made by science in
the past fifteen years. American
thinking has failed to keep pace
with the technological advance­ments,
and because of this lag, we,
as the present day "Brittania rul­ing
the oceans" are unable to pro­perly
use and properly guide the
other nations of the world in the
use of these tools which are cap­able
of inconceivable destruction.
for two months due to a spinal purpose of the special meeting
operation. which was to give notice of a ten
To illustrate his point, Mr. Bow­les
told of a recent statement
made by Professor Albert Ein­stein
to the effect that he did not
know what weapons would be
used in World War III but that
World War IV would be fought
with rocks.
Unlike most speakers, Mr. Bow­les
commented, he had a solution
to offer. The solution, he said, was
for each individual to begin to
think, and having acquired from
this process of thinking a grasp
and undertaking, to meet with
others who have attained this
mental organization.
From thence must come an
agreement upon basic fundamen­tals
from which will spring an or­ganization
of thinking on a level
higher than that which we know.
A unified course of action from
this basic agreement will solve
the problem now confronting us.

For this reason Religious Em­phasis
Week is now scheduled for
April 24-28 with Bernard Clausen,
a Baptist minister of Cleveland,
Ohio, as convocation speaker.
Dr. Clausen has been selected

J(esselman Gives Arena
Analysis Of British Vote
By DAVE WILSON
"This is not an election of free enterprise verses socialism, as
so many Americans have erroneously concluded," said Dr. Louis
Kesselman, professor of political science, at a talk on the recent
British election. The discussion was sponsored by the Political Arena
and was held March 2 in Menges Hall.

against austerity and regulation to the old times in the recent

II, he explained. ernment affairs. He expressed a
per cent cut in salary for all Uni­versity
employees.
Whether or not the mayor can'
keep his promise depends on the
Board of Aldermen, which must
approve his request that $150,000
more for the University be in­cluded
in the city's budget for the
coming fiscal year. '
"This additional $150,000 is ab­solutely
the bottom of the barrel,"
said Farnsley. "What I'm going to
MAYOR CHARLES FARNSLEY
do is take some of that money we
saved by the State's resurtacing
some of the streets. And then we
have several bills in this Legisla­ture
that may help us get more
for capital improvements."
The University expects finan­cial
difficulties because of an an­ticipated
decrease in enrollment
next year. The early depression
saw the lowest birth rate in his­tory
and children born in that
period are beginning to reach col-lege
age.
President John W. Taylor said
the University would need $200,-
000 more if standards and salar­ies
were to be maintained.
He pointed out that the operat­ing
expenses of the University had
almost doubled in three years, and
that employees' had been given
salary raises.
But, he added; "I want you to
know that you are underpaid even
now."

students who wants to hear Mrs.

so, and this is the only solution
to our problem of limited space
available on the campus."

It wasn't a particularly eventful
election. Somehow, choosing a
Mr. Thoroughbred last Friday
didn't seem to stir people's souls.
A handful of male campaigners
stalked the polls at the Woman's
Building trying to whip up a little
fun and a f-ew votes.
They crowded around coed Pat

to scream, "I've voted, I've voted,
I've voted."
One of them grabbed ~

"Girls, it's free. A glimpse of
the world's most handsome man.
Vote for Dick George. Please sit
down when gazing."
Pasted in the middle was a pic­ture
of a man standing in a row
boat holding up a long fish.
It was a far cry from the stu­dent
council elections when planes
fly overhead showering the cam­pus
with propaganda, and people
lie in coffins on Howdy Walk cry­ing
in death-like moans for stu­dent
votes.
