out of Keeneland Hall Tuesday
night before going to a friend's
Lexington home to study for an
examination.
She told the Kernel that a
friend at Keeneland Hall phoned
her at 10:50 p.m. and warned her
of an impending room check at

the dormitory. Miss Harper said
she returned to her room at 11:10,
40 minutes after women's residence halls' rlosing hour.
Miss Harper said last Thursday
night she was brought before the
Women's Advisory Council, a student Judiciary committee, at which
time she denied having been

"I don't think it was fair to

Dean Shaver visited the Bandung

Dean Shaver said. "When he visited the engineering quadrangle,
he wanted to see how we keep

of transferring glades when a student transfer')."

Independent Of UK
The Commission on the Study
of Higher Education said Wednesday in a report to Governor Bert
Combs that the University extension centers should be reorganized
as Junior colleges with separate
boards of regents to operate independently of UK.
Dr. Lyman Ginger, dean of the
College of Education, said he had
been out of town and had not read
the Commission's report.
University President Frank G.
Dickey said the Commission had
not sent him the full report.
Ir. Dickey said there were many
"areas of concern" in the report,
but he declined comment until he
had studied the background material.
Concerning the University extension centers at Covington, Ash

land. Henderson, Cumberland, and
Fort Knox, the commission concluded that this is not the type of
program that will provide for the
needs of the most people to the
best advantage of the state.
The commission recommended
that the five centers be converted
to Junior colleges, each with its
own board of directors, regents, or
trustees.
The report also stated that it
felt any new institutions of higher
learning established in the state
should be independent of either
the I'niversity or any other state
college.
The commission said it felt that
under a separate board, any institution of higher learning would
be more conscious of the program
that would best serve the needs of
the people in its area.

Kappa Kappa Gamma
Dave Parrish gives his approval of June
Moore's choice of a long formal from
Hymson's. With beauty contests and
holiday dances and formals on the social
calendar, this is a good time to shop for
long and short formals and cocktail
dresses.

Our choice of a long white formal
was this one in slipper satin caught
with rhinestones. It is designed with
a strapless bodice and a softly
shaped skirt which is accented with
two small flat bows at the waist.
The look in formals and cocktail
wear this year is new and elegant.
Heavy fabrics such as satin, brocade and metallic fabrics are fashioned with simple lines to achieve
this look. Gone are hoops, ruffles
and flounces. Here to say, hope
are the simple bodice, the softly
shaped skirt, and the emphasis on
fabric.
June is president of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and a member
of Panhellenic Council. She is also
a member of Mortar Board, Blue
Marlins, the ROTC Air Force Sponsor Corps, and Sigma lota Beta. As
a math major, she has a 3.3 standing.
Dave is scholarship chairman of
Kappa Alpha fraternity and has
helped put their intramural football
team in the winners' column.

Shoddy SC Elections

Now that tuosi of Student Congress' committees have been appointed, we think it is time an issue
of great importance is considered by
the student government organization.
It is important that Jim Daniel,
congress president, fill the positions
of the Elections Committee, probably the most important of all congress committees at present. For the
sake of fairness, membership should
be equally divided between Greeks
and independents.
Once the Elections Committee
appointments have been made and
the committee begins to function, it
should begin work immediately to
study the weak points and they are
many of the election procedures and
how best to improve them.
This year's elections showed all
too convincingly that something must
be done to revise the SC constitution
as it pertains to elections and election procedures. The Kernel has already pointed out more than once the
absurdity of the present procedures.
Until these matters are corrected we
can see no reason for much student
confidence being placed in the congress' future actions.
Most important of the improvements which need to be made are
secrecy of ballots, supervision of the
polls, numbered ballots, open tabulation of ballots, full report of the
number of ballots cast, total number
of votes cast (by college), total number of votes for each candidate, and
provisions for student checkers during tabulation.
Students forget from one year to
the next their convictions about secret, democratic elections until they
feel the utter despair that arises immediately after an election.
We feel changes in election pro

cedures to be one way in which respect for and interest in the congress
can be invigorated among the students. Who can have confidence in
any governmental system which allows its elections procedure to become so shoddy the left hand doesn't
know what the right hand is doing?
The Kernel believes in Student Congress and we want to see it achieve
great things this year, but we cannot
sit idly by and observe election proceedings such as were conducted this
fall. We do not charge anyone with
fraud in the past election, but the
opportunity was there if anyone chose
to lower himself to such a practice.
The Kernel has been asked to
support. Student Congress. It will
have our undivided attention and
support so long as it functions as the
true voice of the entire student body
and not the voice and tool of a few
pressure groups. We have also been
asked to emphasize the congress'
strong points and forget the weak
ones. This is absurd. How can the
congress be made even stronger if
its weak points are ignored and not
improved?
If those who believe in the congress want to see it reach and maintain a high standard of excellence this
year, next year, or any future year,
then those persons m ust help
strengthen its weakest point the General Election Procedures in section
three of Article I: Elections, of its constitution.
Until this is done, we see little
use for having a Student Congress,
unless some students want practice
in parliamentary procedure. It cannot
function without student support, and
it will not have student support until
this vital point is studied and then
changed to a more proper and democratic election procedure.

More Concerts, Lectures?

It is heartening to note that attendance for the recent Hoston Symphony Orchestra Concert was as large,
if not larger than the Celtic-IIawbasketball game the night before.
Maybe there is a trend in the offing.
We hope so.
It has always been our contention that too much emphasis has been
placed on sports both at the high
school and college levels. We say this
with the realization that we may le
pounced upon by some avid sports
fans.
Hut, this is not our purpose to
make sports seem unimportant but,
it does seem there is a more intellectual atmosphere at the Concert and
Lecture Series.
We were beseiged recently with
a strong request for a campaign for
more concerts and lectures. This is all
fine and dandy, but we wonder if
there is a need for more concerts
and lectures, or a need for better
attendance for those being offered
more are added.
now
Without placing ourselves on the
k

defensive side of the issue, we see far
too many persons not taking advantage of the present Concert and
Lecture Series. The wishes of all students and faculty members for a more
varied series program may not be
fulfilled, but it's a chance in a lifetime to see and hear groups and persons that some may never have again.
Aside from the Concert and Lecture Series, there are numerous
and club sponsored lectures, movies, and concerts. What is
the attendance for these? Why don't
more students and faculty members
take the time and effort to attend
them? The Kernel doesn't have the
answer, although we will always be
in favor of them and urge everyone
in the University community take
advantage of them.
If additional concerts and lectures
are needed, this is wonderful. Hut,
without good attendance at those already being offered, we see little need
for the Kernel to ask for more of them
if students and faculty aren't

University's academic community is
as grossly misused as is the system
of
grades. This is a regrettable situation of itself and for the
underlying deterioration it indicates.
While some students definitely
come to UK for reasons other than
studying, grades ensure whether
their term of residency is extended
or cut short. Grades may not, nor
should they be paramount in the
learning process; yet, their significance cannot be denied.
Two years ago, a system of midterm grades was instituted here,
for the system wire many they
let the students know where they
stand in a course, they prevent fraternities from pledging men whose
grades leave something to be desired,
and they strive to require professors
to give more than a final examination.
From the beginning, midterm

grades have been treated in various
manners. Some instructors try to give
an accurate estimation, others give
low estimates to make students work
harder, and still others give a blanket
grade of "C". This is unfortunate.
Students should have a fair break
they should know what they are
worth by a grade.
To those professors who give fair
and accurate
grades and
they know who they are we commend you. Hut to those professors who
take mid term grading lightly, or
write it oil as just another chore or
another foim to be filled out, we are
sorry. Apathy in this matter is
and does a dis service to
students.
Let us hope that this
will
bring fair and accurate grades even
though they are lower than what we

Poliey On Lellers

The editors have received a number of letters in the past few weeks
which have not met our specifications
as set forth earlier this semester.

To reiterate our policy, all letters
to the editor must be either typewritten or legibly printed in ink on
S''a by 11 inch paper. If letters are
typewritten, we ask that they be
double spaced.
All letters must be signed by the
writer, or writers, and must be in

good taste and contain no libelous
or false statements.
More than one letter a week on
the same subject from a writer will
not be considered. We reserve the
right to edit litters to fit our space.
The University Soapbox, however, is
available for subjects too long to be
treated within the
limit of
the Headers' Forum.
All letters not meeting these requirements will be returned to the
writer.

Wildcats Seek Win Saturday
To Cap
Celebration
K-Da-

A

This week we would like to make comments on three
Inch occurred following Kentucky's
closely related topics
defeat at the hands of Georgia Saturday.
1. A sports writer talked about the Wildcats being a
"mystery" team.
2. A local columnist included several letters in his column
Vhich expressed dissatisfaction with UK football and head
coach Blanton Collier.
3. Collier was hanged in effigy.
An Atlanta. Oa., sports writer was quoted as saying after UK's
loss Saturday, "I've noted through the years that Kentucky is tough
16-1- 5

when it plays good teams, but when it goes against teams it should
beat It never plays well.
"Kentucky has been the mystery team of the Southeastern Conference for several years. It's a mystery how they play a good team to
a standstill, and it's a mystery how they lose to the weak teams."
We will have to agree with the scribe and add that apparently the
Wildcats gauge their play to their opposition. The result is when a
Wildcat opponent plays a little above the expected
