Mass Protest

One of the views of the approximately 3,500 students that turned out en masse in protest
of the Faculty decision.

M assive

UK Accepts Gifts

Gifts totaling $25,484 were accepted for the University Friday
by the Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees.
When we wrote the editorial that appeared in yesterday's
Donors and their gifts include:
Kernel opposing the Faculty's ruling on the holiday, we were Louis Ware, $1,000 to the Ken-

not cogni2arit of the possibility that students would march
en masse around campus, downtown, and in front of the
president's house. After the riot materialized, we kicked ourselves a thousand times for writing an article, which actually
seemed to endorse the mass, stupidity of the rioters. And we would kick ourselves a thousand more times if we
felt any of the inciters of the riot thought that we were behind
their action.
The apparent lack of foresight of the instigators, of the followers, and the bystanders-waappalling; all they wanted
was to lodge their gripe with the public and to gain as much
publicity as possible. They did not represent the University;
they hardly represented what could be called students. They
were a group of selfish, asinine, and undisciplined individuals
during the riot.
The president stood up to them and was as reasonable as
possible; 'they scorned every word like puerile adolescents
and then marched headstrong downtown where they made
obnoxious asses of themselves. The people of Kentucky, already
suffering from lack of education, had every right to feel superior
to this group of students.
Sure, they .wanted a holiday. But, we ask, where were these
leaders when 'their only
same students, these same
real organized form of representation, Student Congress, was
dying a . slow death? Is it because this organization had
higher ideals than mass demonstration as a method to governmental action? Or is it because these leaders of this mess
are engrossed in the furtherance of their own selfish aims only?
Sure, we want a holiday, too. But we do not want a holiday
achieved by pressuring a Faculty group into action and leave
the door gaping open for similar rioting. We did not want to
see the tradition destroyed, but we do not want to see a tradition started where a riot is instigated every time the students
want something done. This is pure anarchy.
As Safety Commissioner Don Sturgill told the crowd,
"You've got what you wanted; you've made the front page of
every newspaper in the country." The students did not want a
holiday as much as they wanted publicity and pride for achieving such a great deed as defying the Faculty, administration,
police forces, and people of Kentucky in one night.
The riot, however, must have set many people in the crowd
thinking and drawing 'analogies to other events in history,
such as the recent furor raised in Cuba and the rioting in
Cennany during the days of Adolf Hitler. In fact, it was rather
unfortunate that old Adolf himself wasn't here to view the
mass, demonstration.
He would have been proud.

Politics Influences British
Student Views Dying Traditions
Social Life, Reeves Says
at
By JUNE ALLEN DYERS

Through the years
UK, various traditions have been initiated
and then been disregarded.
One of the most recent to see its
last days is the "Beat Tennessee,
Take Monday off I" that ended last
year. This tradition was renewed
ill 1954.

Freshmen beanies were once
quite popsUr, and no freshman

who thoni-n- t
would have been caught without
'
the required badge of Inferior
rank. The practice has gradually
dwindled, and today they are to be
seen primarily on freshmen foot-ba- ll
players and band members.
The May Day Parade was an annual event that vanished in 1955.

Social life is based a great deal
on political parties, was one of
the points brought out by Prof.
J. E. Reeves of the Political Science

Department.

He spoke to the UK Women's
Club Monday night at the SUB
on "English Elections and Electio-

neering."

Prof. Reeves returned in August
from Great Britain where he made
a study of elections. He said that
"where we go to Rotary meetings,
Klwanls, etc the English go to
political meetings."
In speaking to the group Prof.
Reeves used three other points as
basis for his talk. English campaigns are conducted by volunteer
workers, Issues are emphasized
than personalities, and
elections are orderly and free from
corruption, he said.
He said that "volunteer workers
believe in their party, this is why
they work voluntarily." The campaign consists of canvassing from
house to house with just the main
leaders of the parties televising
programs.
After talking to politicians, the
business men

avoid any property damage, and
expressed fear that "thugs might
be in the crowd now."
Rumors of a Faculty meeting
scheduled for yesterday morning
were quieted by President Frank
G. Dickey.

The demonstrators took a dim
view of the many photographers
snapping pictures throughout the
demonstrations. A few attempts
were made to halt the camermen
from taking pictures.
It was learned the pictures would
be used to identify those involved
in the uprising.
UK President Frank Dickey said,
"A picture doesn't mean he (a
demonstrator) will necessarily re- -'
ceive punishment, but they (those
Who are identified) will probably
have to appear before the Student
Congress Judicary Board." "
The crowd of
students that
marched , on downtown Lexington
Monday night has been estimated
at about 3,500. As the demonstrators paraded down Main Street,
high school students1 and even
some of the Lexington townspeople Joined in. Many of the bystanders shouted their approval
and encouraged the students on.
As the mob enlarged in number,
the rioters' bravery increased.
After a short delay in rront of the
Phoenix Hotel they headed for
the police station. Th'e police
tion sign was torn down, but was
soon replaced by some of the more
law-abidi-

mobsters.

Hotel, blocking traffic, and making
a bonfire on Main Street, the students were finally persuaded to
go back to the University campus.
The crowd marched to the back
of the SUB and began shouting
for President Dickey. When they
decided their howling was in vain
they headed for Maxwell Place, the
president's home.
The crowd dwindled somewhat
as they approached Dickey's home.
After a series of yells of "we want
a holiday" and other various
chants, another bonfire was started on the presdlent's lawn.
snortly after the bonfire, was
built,,. Commissioner Sturgill and
the state police arived. Sturgill
asked the students to call off their
"disturbance," but was greeted
with jeers and catcalls.
A few of the students began
to speak receiving applause from
the crowd. One 6tudent who identified himself as a law student said
he had talked with Governor
Chandler. He said Chandler told
him he was on the students' side
and that "if the faculty had gone
to college it wouldn't have made
that decision."
Shouts of "we want Dickey" and
"boycott classes" continuously interrupted the speakers. Signs of
the "V" appeared when a bearded
Castro-typ- e
man was hoisted to
the front of the gathering.
The crowd began to leave about
11 p.m. when they again decided
their protests ' were in vain.
During the uproar at Maxwell
Place, Sturgill had threatened to
use tear gas to disperse the mob.
He said later that "it's bad stuff."
Sturgill stated if. they were to use
it they would have' waited until
the girls left.

But, after the administration remained reticent and attempted to
wrest out of the case with the least
amount of publicity, the incident
amounted to nothing more than just
that discussion. Cheating is still in
a most popular position and we are
sure the end of examination stealing
is not anywhere within reasonable
sight.
Now, after the hectic weekend of
Homecoming has passed, another
discussion of values may be forthcoming.

Whether you consider the selection
of a Homecoming qucen important
or not, the decision made by the
committee has to be lauded; it indeed
might have been an unpopular one,
for depriving a winner, especially a
deserving one, or glory , may never
seem justifiable to the public.
But a single student committee has
apparently shown more regard for
ethical standards and what should be
done to uphold them than our elders.

person to escape with only mild
punishment practically invites students to cheat and steal and steal and

the administration's handling of the exam-thecase left me
