LAWS

However, college is Mippewd to be an insti
union in which young eople are taught to
iliink for themselves, to express their own opin
ions, and to develop individuality.
Heme, there aie frequently insiuiclots with
whom we would enjoy a shoit chit in the ptiv
iiey of an olfice, merely lor die sake of coming
into closer tont.Kt with that person. Just as we
make fiiends among the eople of our own age.
so woiihl we like to do the same occasionally
with older jhtsohs, and not with a view of trying to get a grade.
I he ililfieulty lies in
lie fad that although
(his is given a trial on a purely fair basis, the
students' idea is usually misunderstood by
except himself. Leaving the professor's,
ollice, he has mental pictures of a disdainful and
a "Well I'm glad 'that's over" look on the face
of the K'ison within. Met by a classmate who
says. "Ah, ha. dirty noisin'l" he comes to the
conclusion that fuither visits are futile.
Cannot professors receive such meetings in
the spirit in whirh they arc meant and not with
a suspic ious gleam of the eye?
In return we believe students will arrord them
the corresxnding courtesy of not playing upon
their good graces, hut will attain a higher opinion of them as a result of the more democratic
altitude with which thev were met.

The Campus

with "Scoop"

It is indeed fortunate for the University and
it her State educational institutions that the
General Assembly has seen fit to "snub" any
move toward making of the "I Pledge Allegiance" laws a requirement for teachers and students in this state.
The utter incongruity of forcing college professors to take these oaths has certainly been
sufficiently demonstrated in eastern cities to
prove that it is a worthless practice, too childish
for even the slightest consideration from the
mature and intelligent minds of the majority of
our professors.
It seems ridiculous to Iielicve that the mere
taking of an oath would thereby automatically
hange a h.tsoii of Socialistic instincts into one
of a conservative nature. The watchword of
many radical organizations is "Iloic from Within" and under the protection of such an oath,
the liberal coidd more easily expound his dogma.
Naturally, we do not want teachers who
Communism on the immature and
brains of the young collegian. The way
10 avoid this, however, is not to be found in required oaths of allegiance. Every person goes
through a period in which socialistic theories
become very ap'iealing, and he is the better for
it when the idea passes. Hence, such procedures
as taking an oath would tend to draw the student t loser to the liberalism which the Allegiance laws attempt to control.
It has been humorously written that the
of such a law might lead the way toward a furtherance of this practice whereby one
would lie forced to make an oath of allegiance
lie (ore he could be married or execute a contract. A year or two ago, the statement that a
college professor would be required to pledge
allegiance would have seemed just as ridiculous
as the above statement appears to us today. It
merely proves conclusively the utter worthless-ncs- s
of the allegiance laws.
It must have been the brain child of some
litician with a highly distorted idea of creating patriotism. When a man loves and respects
his country he does not have to be coerced into
an ostentatious display of it. On the other
hand, if he does not resect the laws of the land,
such
i lie mere taking of an oath will not create

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

iesjc(t.

For just this reason the esteemed eastern educators who so strenuously objected to be forced
to take the oaths were mostly men of
conservatism. Teachers who obviously leaned
toward Communism or some other 'ism, preset ved a
jicacc.
Outtioppings of Communistic teaching have
Urn negligible at Kentucky. If such doctrines
have been presented, it has been done with the
idea of giving the student a
jxiint
view and not of converting him to the other
cause. It seems to The Kernel that Communism
and Socialism lost, a round by virtue of the Assembly's failure to consider these allegiance
oaths.
