Alpha Xi Delta won a playoff Quiz Bowl round against
the Spectre team Tuesday night.
The final score was 125-7The round resulted from a
contested match last Thursday
night, when problems arose over
scoring in the final minutes, as
it was thought one of the teams
had accidently been granted extra time to answer a bonus question. The score of that match
was Alpha Xi 85 and Spectre 80.
After victory in the two minute overtime, which began with
5.

the score as it ended up last
week, Alpha Xi Delta went on
to win over Alpha Gamma Rho
last night.
In other matches, the victors
were Trojans, Sigma Phi Epsilon,
Farmhouse, Phi Sigma Kappa,
Phi Gamma Delta, and Pi Beta
Phi, over Keeneland III, Jewel
hall II, Keeneland 1, Alpha Tau
Omega, Oudeis, and Coopers-town--

Delta Gamma forfeited to Phi

The idea's not as crazy as it may seem.
Anytime we take a jet up, there are almost
always leftover seats.
So it occurred to us that we might be able
to fill a few of them, if we gave the young
people a break on the fare, and a chance to
see the country.

The American Youth Plan
We call the idea the American Youth Plan,
and what it means is this:
American will pay half the jet coach fare

for anybody 12 through 21.
It's that simple.
All you have to do is prove your age (a birth

and buy a S3 identification card.
We date and stamp the card, and this enticket at any American

not even a small representation

Certainly the delegates who fail

Newest Member

Shdiv Protested

Greek-Onl-y
Editor of the Kernel:

Regarding the Greek Week Art
Show at the Student Center, "A
Panorama of Art," I would like to
suggest that an art show in which
the sole criteria for acceptance of
works is that the "artist" be a member of a fraternity or sorority (and
that must have ueen the sole criteria) is rather pretentious as is
most of the work shown.
I have no malice toward the
Greek system, being a former member of a fraternity myself, but I am
also serious about art. The people
who suggested, planned, and juried
this show evidently are not.
The fault lies not with the participants, but with the people responsible for maintaining the gallery as
a showplace for creative and meaningful work.
I recommend that a Student
Center Art Callery committee be
formed consisting of a faculty ad

visor from the Art Department and
four upperclassmen at least two of
whom should be Art majors.

of the Common Market, the
of breaking the deadlock
has always been recognition by both
sides that they needed each other
within the market.
Happily this consideration has
prevailed during the resumed talks
of Common Market Foreign Ministers at Luxembourg, and a compromise agreement has been worked
out. In effect, France has promised
to end her boycott of Common
Market ministerial meetings in
return for concessions allowing individual members to keep the right
of veto on issues deemed of vital
importance to them. In other
words, General de Gaulle has won
a partial victory in his battle to
prevent a surrendering of French

Europeans who believe that the
Common Market makes sense only
if it edges toward a merging of
European sovereignties, caution on
this very point might be all to the
good. On paper, the idea of deciding
things by majority vote in a college
of sovereign equals might seem a
step forward. But national sovereignty is still too sensitive an
area for any part of it to be surrendered unless trust is deep enough
to produce tacit agreement that a
majority decision would never be
sought to force through something
to which the minority was utterly
opposed.
We welcome the compromise at
Luxembourg and hope that all six

letter of it.

Equality In France
One by one they tumble, the

traditional legal restrictions upon

women which have denied them
their rights in home and business.
The most recent example is the
removal of a whole set of legal
injustices imposed upon French
wives in the Code Napoleon of
1804. This "second Waterloo" was
long overdue.
New legislation in France,
effective Feb. 1, makes "la
patronne," the woman who runs
her own business, owner in fact
as well as in name. It assures

her many other legal rights: She
can get a job without Monsieur's
consent, can spend her earnings
as she pleases, and so on.
The male majority in the French
Parliament who are responsible for
the new "egalite" are to be heartily
commended. But Madame has not
waited for a change in law to
achieve a high degree of equality.
A recent
survey showed that 70
percent of the masculine heads of
French households help theirwives
with the housework.

Who's To Blame For Student

Alienation From Religion?
By JUDY CRISHAM
Who's to blame for the college student's
in planned religious activities?
Is it the fault of the religious
centers themselves, the University, the society, the church, or
the student? Is it the spirit of
the modem campus or, more
generally, the spirit of the modern world that seems to relegate
religion to the background?
The blame can, perhaps,
never be placed on any specific
person or attributed to any specific fault, but a look at some
possibilities may provide more
insight into the problem.

Third in a five-paseries
on tlw UK student and religion prepared by Kernel Associate News Editor Judy
Grisliam.
rt

Dr.

Thomas

J. Altizer,

as-

sistant professor of religion at
Emory University, issued the
following statement which resulted in much controversy at

the Methodist-owneinstitution:
"God is dead. The traditional
Christian faith has become totally meaningless and unreal and
God is irrelevant to the modern
d

world.
"A whole new form of faith
is called for as a result. The
secular world is the source for

spiritual and ethical standards."

Dr. Altizcr's answer, then,
the question "Who's to
blame?" would be the "spirit
of the modern world."
As the Rev. Calvin Zongkcr
of the Baptist student association pointed out, the intensified
academic pressures may be partly to blame.
These academic pressures, he
said, are accompanied by the
"Vietnam situation and competition to be admitted to graduate school."
"The church's failure to lead
out in social reforms may make
some students dissatisfied," Mr.
Zongker said, adding that he
felt this was not the major problem since "most students aren't
that much involved with social
reform."
"We (the ministers) are frustrated," he said, "at not yet
being able to adapt to the needs
of the present generation."
He pointed out that discussion groups, large meetings, and
student meetings were "impossible" because of lack of support.

"General student apathy just

says certain things we should
think about," said the Rev. Doug
Sanders of Campus Christian
Life, "It is not necessarily the
fault of programming."
The Rev. Don Leak, the University's religious coordinator,
pointed out that the death last
year of Interfaith Council, an

interdominational student and

faculty group w hich was to serve
in coordinating and developing
programs of religious significance, "marked the low point
in programming of religious ac-

tivity."

What role docs the campus
minister play in the student's
religious life? Mr. Leak said, "If
the student had already arrived
at the promised land, he wouldn't
be a student. He is seeking and
wants to become more than he
already is. I, as a minister, must
be available any time, any way.
I must be human and try to
bridge the gap between being
a layman, a student, and a man
of God.
"So far, we have shown no
moral aspect to vocation, behavior, or relation to other people. This moral aspect, in essence, is the basis of religion."
Mr. Leak said one can't expect any program or any office
within the University community
to reach a "final state of de-

velopment."

"It is always in a state of
flux. We can never reach 100
percent of the students, and it
is not important that we do.
But we can do a better job
of reaching the students who
are able to respond."
Daniel J. Callahan, faculty
member at Harvard University,
placed the blame on the institution in an article in Commonweal, Nov. 21, 1958.

Johnson is turning to Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor, a skilled
diplomat who understands the
military situation in Vietnam,
to ease the cold war between
the President and the Senate,
the place where he used to be
lord and master.
Mr. Johnson had a private

White House talk last week with
Sen. Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota, one of the 15 Democrats
who. signed the letter asking him
not to resume bombing North
Vietnam. As a result of that
talk, he dispatched Gen. Taylor
to the Senate. The former U.S.
ambassador to Vietnam closeted

The a ssignment of Gen. Taylor
to make peace with the restless,
somewhat antagonistic, Democratic Senators is overdue.
Relations between the President
and his old fiefdom have
deteriorated dangerously in the
past few weeks.
This deterioration trancends
the overt break between the
President
and Sen. William
of Arkansas, chairman
Fulbright
of the Foreign Relations Committee and prime mover of the
public investigation on Vietnam.
The more important aspect of the
cold war is covert and subterranean. It involves middle-ran- k
Senators who in the past
have been loyal Johnson men:
Indiana's Vance
McCarthy,
Hartke, and New Jersey's
Harrison Williams.
Old students of the President's
ingenious handling of the Senate
were surprised that Mr. Johnson
sent off such an abrupt reply to
the 15 Democrats who wrote him
on Jan. 27. The
reply was little more than an
acknowledgement. To make his
displeasure doubly known, the
President attached a copy of his
reasoned Jan. 22 response to a
letter from 76 Democratic members of the House. The 15
Senators, who consider themselves a cut above the House
with a Constitutional responsibility in foreign policy, took

this as a slap in the face.
Rut the fact is they gave Mr.
Johnson little room to maneuver.
The letter from the House Democrats strongly supported the
President's decision to "resist
the terror and aggression" of the
Viet Cong, but the Senators
