Peace Corps volunteers can be
deferred from military service, Lt.
Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of
the Selective Service System, announced this month.
In an editorial in the April
edition of the Selective Service
Bulletin, the general said:
"The establishment of the Peace

So the classification of registrants
In the Peace Corps can be handled as any other registrant engaged in activities In the national

When they return home from
overseas duty. Peace Corps members could be eligible for further
deferment, Hershey said.
Important factors listed for consideration when the volunteer returns home, the director said,
would be age, physical condition,
marital status, and whether he
"continues to engage in an activity in the national interest."

HEAT UNNECESSARY
Before laying gloves flat to dry,
blow gently into ench one to puff
it into shape. Keep them away
from direct heat or sunlight.
Before leather gloves get completely dry, work them onto your
hands to smooth and reshape. If
they should dry first, wet your
hands, shake off excess moisture,
then work the gloves on with the
same kind of massaging method
used in fitting gloves. The moisture ofl your skin will soften the
leather enough to make it pliable.
Or roll the gloves in a damp towel
for a few minutes before massaging them on.
If fabric gloves become very
soiled, knead rich lather into the
particularly dirty areas and roll
them up tightly for 15 or 20 minutes. Rinse well, 6uds again, and
rinse again.
MOST ARE WASHABLE
All except the most fragile fabric gloves may be washed and
dried by machine. However, avoid
extreme heat to prevent shrinkage.

Out Of The Morass

Approximately 40 Student Congress representatives met Saturday at
Spindletop Hall to begin work toward formulating concrete congress
policies for eliminating campus problems.
Congress President Carry! Sipple
outlined 13 basic problems for the
congress to study and act on. They
are student apathy, University traditions, student participation in the
University and the congress, University-state
relations, raising high school
standards, academic standards and
admission requirements,
obtaining
more scholarships and grants from industry, improving communications,
priority of organizations, priorities in
the congress budget, and SC's role
on faculty and administrative committees.
Most of these concerns are worthy
of immediate study and action. As
Sipple said at the meeting, "I cannot
lead the congress without knowing
where it wants to go and what it
wants to do."
We agree and are pleased to see
the congress taking some positive
steps toward rectifying the lack of
direction that has hamstrung the
body in the past.
It was unfortunate that only 40
of the congress' 100 members were
present at the Spindletop meeting.
Such attendance mirrors the first point
cited by Sipple student apathy.

If the congress is to formulate and
carry out the ambitious policies
brought up at the Saturday meeting,
it will need the support and participation of all its members.
One recommendation of the congress discussion groups that should
be reconsidered and approached from
another angle, however, is the suggestion that
and University-statrelations lie improved by discouraging unfavorable
newspaper publicity.
The first rule of establishing favorable public relations is that good public relations begin at home. Another
principle of public relations is that
favorable relations must be deserved.
Suppressing and withholding the
unfavorable to give the impression
that one is batting 1.000 will never
achieve this end. It is far better to
admit to one's shortcomings and mistakes, then take steps to insure that
such things do not recur than to attempt to keep them from the public.
We should like to recommend to
Student Congress that it determine
the causes of publicity reflecting unfavorably on the University and congress and remove them, rather than
place the blame for such reports on
those who merely report them.
Such an attitude coupled with the
program outlined Saturday can do
much toward bringing the congress
out of the morass in which it has
dwelt for so long.

The ways of some of the University's minor officials are indeed
strange.
A Kernel reporter
Monday attempted to learn from a women's
residence halls executive housekeeper
if any toilet tissue had
received
to replace the offensive product that
caused Keeneland Hall women to
chuck rolls of the harsh stuff out of
windows Thursday.
After the housekeeper denied having any knowledge of the new tissue,
the reporter mentioned that a University purchasing agent had said that
he had ordered 25 boxes of tissue after
talking with the housekeeper. The
purchase had also been confirmed by
a local paper company, but the house

Feeding Our Guests

To The Editor:
Despite the signs seen in some
campus offices, someone is failing to
plan ahead!
During the recent speech, band,
and choral festivals, no provisions
were made to feed our guests.
Both the grill and cafeteria in the
SUB were totally inundated each
time, resulting in both UK students
and guests alike being unable to eat
without standing in long queues.
The grill and cafeteria staffs deserve bouquets for their service despite the crowding.
Why can't some administrator
take the trouble to schedule meals
for our guests possibly in one of the
other less crowded cafeterias on
campus?

History, of course, repeats itself
as tragedy and then as farce.
Over the last two decades, we have
become all too familiar with the libimeral "dupe" or
paled by congressional inquisitors for
such offenses as having sponsored
some organization alnnit which he
did not always know all that might be
known.
Now the wheel has come full turn
and it is yesterday's wiseacre w ho has
become today's "dupe." Take, for instance, the case of Sen. Barry
of Arizona and the John Birch
Society. Robert Welch, the society's
founder, admits that he is an "acquaintance" of the senator. The society's Blue Book leaves noxloubt that
Welch's current and enthusiastic-choi- ce
for the presidency in 1964 is
Sen. Coldwater. One of the society's
most active and flourishing chapters
is in the senator's state of Arizona.
And yet the usually forthright senator,
who has a reputation for "laying it
on the line," insists that he doesn't
know whether he is for or against the
John Birch Society. "I can't answer

Readers Discuss Rules, Feeding Guests
To The Editor:
It is amusing to note that Jon
Alexander's letter (Kernel, April 13)
crucifies the rules set up by the administration to control such children
as his own impulsive self.
From the contents of his letter, I
have formed the opinion that what
he knows of life, he has read in books,
and will spend the rest of his life doing so. He surely lives in the past, and
tries to make his already dull life more
interesting by composing such dribble
as appeared in the Kernel Thursday,
written on impulse rather than fact.
I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere
in a dark corner lies a packet of
poems dedicated to persons who have
felt sorry for Mr. Alexander, and
given him a kind word.
If Mr. A. would remove his head
from his dream world, I am sure he
would realize the fact that a good
majority of the college students
neither have the foresight, initiative,
or mature status that would enable
them to govern their own lives. I
cite as an example the toilet paper
incident over at Keeneland Hall.
If the rules he condemns were
not in effect, then this University
would indeed be a kindergarten for
adults. I am also doubly sure that Mr.
Alexander, who must compose his
letters with a dictionary on his right

keeper said the facts were wrong.
In spite of the denial, the women's
resiliences received 15 cases of the
new paper and the Dean of Women's
Office later confirmed the purchase.
We wonder why the mere act of
purchasing new tissue should Ik; considered classified " information. We
wonder, too, why the housekeeper
was afraid that her "head would be
whomped off" if she made it statement to our reporter, forcing the reporter to go on up the ranks
we could find someone connected
with the women's residences who
would admit that the tissue had
ordered.
It would st em that we do indeed
have a "big issue alnnit tissue."

"I LIKE EICII" button is more than
just a "sick" joke, it is a sign of sickness in the individual that would wear
such a badge. I fail to see the mirth
in identifying with a name that sym-

bolizes the most heinous crime ever
committed against mankind.
I suggest that the owner of the
bosom bearing the "I LIKE EICII"
button do a little research (a little
should suffice) and enlighten herself
on some of the atrocities carried out
under the direction of Eichmann. If,
after getting acquainted with the adventures of Mr. Eichmann, the young
lady still feels a chuckle rise in her
throat, I suggest she seek psychiatric
help.

( Editoh's Note We merely stated
that the young lady was modeling
the button, not endorsing the deeds
charged to Eichmann.)
