Assembly Meeting
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Thia tor? is written by a Kernrl
daily editor who attended tbe U. N. Seminar last week
in New York.)
By MIKE FEARING, Kernel Dally Editor
It was a strange sensation to walk into the 16th an
nual General Assembly session of the United Nations
Friday and realize the seat to the right of the assembly
president was empty.
It had been vacant since the death of Secretary-Gener- al
Dag Hammarskjold several weeks ago.
The delegate from Ceylon commented on the empty
rhair when he arose before the
assembly to
present a resolution which proposed IT Thant of Burma
as acting secretary-generuntil April 10, 1963.
Nearly 65 UK students and faculty members attended the afternoon session of the Oeneral Assembly

as part of the United Nations Seminar trip sponsored
by the University YMCA and YWCA last weekend.
Almost 10 minutes after the Ceylon delegate proposed his resolution a vote by secret ballot was taken
and the assembly had elected U Thant as secretary-gener- al
by a unanimous decision, r
In his first address to the V.S.. V Thant said he
Intended to Invite a limited number of persons to act
as advisers on the functions trusted to the secretary-gener- al
by the V. N. charter.
The new secretary-genersaid he wanted to work
in the spirit of mutual understading with these advisers

the world whose reflections I represent."
chamber seemed
Everyone in the huge cone-shappoised for the congratulatory comments on the election

of the secretary-generfrom th United States and
Russia. Afterwards, many delegates as well as spectators
left the assembly.
The most striking comparison of the two brief talks
given by the U.S. and Russia was their apparent attitudes toward the new appointment.
Adlai Stevenson, United States ambassador to the
U. N., called the election a "prolonged ordeal ended
brilliantly." He pointed out that voting for U Thant
had been unanimous.
The Russian ambassador called the new secretary-gener- al
"an outstanding personality of the Burmese
government" and wished to express the satisfaction of
the resolution" by the Russian delegation.

sorority lots or blocking Columbia
Terrace, the entrance to sorority
row, have created a problem for
some time. The lots are often
so crowded that the residents are
unable to park In their own lots.
The committee is composed of
one representative from each sorority house and is under the supervision of Dr. Leslie L. Martin,
dean of men, and Dr. Doris M.
Seward, dean of women.
Tickets are now being given to
anyone violating the parking regulations from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Monday through Friday and 7:30
until noon Saturday. The top half
of the ticket is given to the offender, and the lower half is sent
to Dean Martin.
Each sorority is responsible for
giving Its own tickets. A warning
is given for the first violation, and
fines are imposed for any subsequent violations. There Is a fine
of $5 for the second violation, $10
for the third, $15 for the fourth,
and $25 for the fifth.
Jane Squifflet, Arts and Sciences
sophomore and a member of the
committee, said yesterday, ' Each

sorority member is to act as a
traffic cop, and the fines will be
enforced Just as any other University parking violation is."
The committe has decided to
issue parking permits to sorority
members who own automobiles.
These will be stickers with the
Greek letters of the individual organizations printed on them. In
cases involving sororities with more
car owners than available spaces,
priority will be given according to
classification.
Courtesy passes have been proposed for visitors to the various
sorority houses, but this has not
been approved by the committee. If approved, these will probably
be in the form of mimeographed
sheets prepared by the individual
sororities and will be valid for use
only once.
The committee is also considering a proposal to hire a campus
police officer to check parking
stickers and courtesy passes on
nights when there are lectures,
concerts, or athletic events, because
the lots are often extremely crowded on these nights.

Dr. Logsdon said, "In my opinion
she will render better service if an

aware of local needs and make

Cats are notoriously silent in their singularly feline way. But even the
most stealthily treading tomcat could take lessons from the men at
Ford Motor Company whose job it is to track down and suppress
unwanted noise in vehicles.
At our Ford Research and Engineering Center in Dearborn, engineers
have created a unique room without echoes, virtually duplicating the
perfect stillness that exists miles above the earth's surface.
The "Silent Room", as we call it, is a chamber utilizing
wedges as sonic "blotters" to soak up noise emanating from subjects
undergoing developmental tests. In this acoustically sterile environ
ment, electronic instruments seek out the source of vibrations,'
rattles, rumbles and squeaks so that they can be eliminated in
production.
This scientific approach to silence is but a tiny facet of the many-side- d
program of pure and applied research which goes on daily at
Ford Motor Company.- It is another example cf ford's leadership
through scientific research and engineering.

for a new lighting system

worthwhile project anil maybe the
future safety of UK students depends
on this M)rtion of the request. We
hope it is left intact.
The installation being carried on
now by the Division of Maintenance
and Operations could be called an
emergency measure. It would be near
imossible for the University to banish darkness from all areas of the
campus until more money is made
available. Because of this, we ask all
students, if they feel it is necessary,
to use only those walkways which
are lighted until a more complete
lighting system is installed. It's for
your safety these measures have been
taken.

Although this may le a slightly
strained metaphor, the comparison of
drill sessions to fantasy deserves consideration. It is important, if for no
other reason than the fact that it

Leadership lab is a blot on the

The academic instructors cover a

Dislikes Punishment
To The Editor:
Once again, I congratulate you on
your news coverage. Of late, the student populace has been clamoring
lor
coverage of campus affairs. In your late front page story
of "The Ousted Coed" (Thursday,
Nov. 2), you have done just that, and
in so doing, shown us one of the many
martyrs at UK, another one of those
laid low by the hand of the "dictatorship."
I quote: "It (Women's Advisory
Council) has full rxwers in all cases
(women's disciplinary) except those
pertaining to suspension, ujxmi which
they confer with Dean Seward." The
duty has been accomplished, an offender of the code has been punished, in reality the offender has been
expulsed from college. But the dean
says she didn't do that; well, think
once again of the choice given Miss
Jo Anna Harer. It was either withdraw (peacefully) or be susjended
(withdrawn
forcefully). Education-wise- ,
she had no choice at all. Miss
Harper was simply given the old
first-han-

"heave-ho.- "

What about the time the coed
spent in securing an education? That
time was apparently three and
f
years; that is a penalty meritorious of only a most grievous offense
I would say. Was her's such an ofone-hal-

fense?

Several other coeds were placed
on permanent disciplinary probation
for withholding information about a
phone call placed to warn the unfortunate coed of an impending room
check. This must have been done with
the persons involved in punishing
under the impression that placing
that phone call was a somewhat criminal act. I would rather think of it as
an ac t of mercy, considering the punishment meted out, rather than as an
act of aiding and abetting a criminal
act.
The feelings I have aired may

not be justifiable. However, based
on the few facts offered by the individuals involved in the incident, they
are certainly
at this
moment. This cold headline, "Senior
Coed Ousted For Dorm Infraction,"
stood mostly unattended by facts in
our newspaper. I feel this is true by
administration
virtue of tight-lipeand should be rectified unless the
University wishes to retain the title
of a small but truely "Anarchial
State."

Wants Kernel Banned
To The Editor:
(Nov. 1) Kernel
Wednesday's
makes much ado about the relative
merits of Henry Miller's "Tropic of
Cancer" and whether it should be
banned for one reason or another.
It seems, however, the Kernel should
be banned as offensive literature.
One wonders if the future guardians and watchdogs (the press) of
American morals, rights, freedoms,
and what have you will ever be understood. Certainly not if such copy as
that of Kyra Hackley's (she should
be gnashing her teeth with indignation at such treatment) with its miswords
placed lines and
continues to appear.
Kind editor, have you no proofreaders? It is difficult enough to
wade through such as is your usual
meager fare without this added offense. That you would dare to attempt to stimulate us with Paging
The Past is insult. But that you
would add injury by making worthwhile attempts at prodding our dormant intellects with near unreadable
material by mechanical defects is inexcusable.
May your shame strengthen your
resolve to give us a journalistic
masterpiece.

in "pernicious confusion" for the
freshmen. I shall illustrate.
First year cadet can hardly hear
the command (which is given from
the wrong position) for the noisy
procedure. W h e n
marching, the squad leader observes
an extended silence (for some mystic
reason) before calling cadence the
first time. This ritual is repeated
continually while marching (perhaps
for emphasis).
Later, the cadet is given two demerits for not shining his shoes.
(Who cares if he did stay up all night
?) He must
studying for a
"walk off" tiie demerits (from 7 to 8
in the morning).
"Pernicious confusion" may, and
does, develop, accompanied by its
characteristic symptoms: loss of
lack of resject for superiors, and a hostile attitude.
Squad leaders are the prime offenders, and although there are the
usual exceptions, there are certain
attributes seemingly characteristic of
the group:
1. They are unfamiliar with the
material they attempt to teach.
2. They evidently have an aversion to "calling cadence," a part of
drill which is absolutely necessary.
mid-ter-

3. They either have lost, or never
found, their command voices.
1.
They aie forced to evaluate
cadets on characteristics which they
haven't had an opportunity to judge.
5. '1 hey seem to take their job
much too lightly.
Naturally enough, cadet officers
constitute a more icsonsible group.
Matuie judgement and knowledge of
the subject are at their command.
However, officers must bear the
burden of administering an unfortunate type of dull training the delimit
system. There is no way to handle a
negative system, except negatively.
Then too, it seems an incongruous
thing using a negative system to develop positive attitudes.
To execute such a plan requites
the utmost in diplomacy, if one would
be successful. Diplomacy is a quality seldom found, and not easily cultivated in youth.
Another characteristic of leadership lab which is evident to the discerning observer is a lack of unity
in the program. Cadets go through
entire drill periods without ever !eiiig
told what is to be accomplished, except for a general announcement of
a general puipose by someone standing too far away to Ie Jieard accurately.
Possibly theie isn't time for a detailed explanation of the day's activities; ovibly it is felt this isn't necessary. Yet it would take little time
and would yield tremendous results
in giving cadets a sense of direction.
The lollowing suggestions, gleaned
from discussions with other KOTC
students, and reflecting their exKri-encas we ll as my ow n, with RO I C,
might be helpful in making leadership lab effective organ:
1. Scpiad leaders should be chosen
with the greatest care because it is
their prime iesjonsibility for moulding a well chilled unit.
2. Squad leaders themselves should
be developed as leaders as they seek
to develop others, through closer
supervision by Air Science staff members.
3. Knowledge of the subjec t should
be of much greater concern than it
apparently is now.
1.
Squad leaders should be made
more aware of their rcsxnisibility
that of shaping the precision of the
entire group.
3. An trior t should be made to
remove the strongly negative attitude
generally associated with the demerit

system.
6. More time should be allotted
to squ.nl instruction and drill. It is
the basis for a well-drillewing.
7. Most important
of all, theie

should be established within the wing
the principle of the scpiad as the basic
unit of leadership lab the most
single unit in the development of leadership.
It is in the best tradition of constructive criticism that these comments aie olfered.
