Capt. B. F. Francis, an Air

Communist Party, U. S. A., launched a major campaign in 1959 to
attract students and working youth

After May, 1959, the main objectives of the party became

Dean To Speak
Al A&S Banquet

The 14th annual University of
Kentucky College of Arts and Sciences Dinner will be held at S p.m.
In the Student Union Ballroom.
Dean M. M. White will deliver
his annual address to the College
of Arts and Sciences faculty.
Dr. Lewis W. Cochran, professor
of physics and chairman of the
dinner committee, will serve as
master of ceremonies. Music will
be provided by Larry Beach, Lois
Core, and Kay Slone, all of Lexington and students in the UIC
Mumc Department.

This is the first year the advisers will not be chosen on the
basis of financial needs but on
the women's own personal evaluation. Miss Dixie Evans, director
of the women's residence halls,
said.
The freshman adviser is a tie between I'niversity staff members
and students who will become
known to the freshmen helping
them with personal matters, getting into campus activities, or perhaps getting academic tutors.
She will give beneficial suggestions about University life and
be able to Interpret UK policy.
Of the 32 advisers and five alternates to be selected, six will be
placed in Jewell Hall, six in Boyd
Hall, seven in Patterson Hall, and
in Holmes Hall the number will
depend on the number of fresh
men. Miss Evans said there will be
at least seven in Holmes.
The advisers and alternates will
be selected and presented at "Stars
in the Night," a program honoring
outstanding women on campus,
later in the semester.
Miss Evans said the responsibility of the freshmen advisers will
be decreased because, their number
will be doubled. She explained that
last year there was one adviser for
every 30 to 70 girls. Next year
there will be one adviser for every
10 to 25 freshmpn women.
Following the announcement of
the freshman honorary advUeis at
ut the "Stars In the Niiht" program the SC women will undergj

Next fall the advisers will also

The advisers will be chosen on
outstanding leadership character-istic- e.
ability to establish positive
relationship, and skill in performing as a member of a coordinated
staff, Miss Evans said.

March 27
Victor Borge, whose show of mu

Borge has been labeled "the funniest entertainer In the world" by
New York drama critics. His one-mshow is a mixture of piano
and comedy.
When he fled Denmark In 1940,
censored by the Nazis for his
comments about Adolf Hitler, he
was the highest paid stage and

The reason the Communist Par- ty is putting so much emphasis on

that on,y fiv percent of the total

"This is frightening." says Capt.

To stop this movement, students
must have objective information

This Is the perfect conclusion to
be reached after observing the
way a typical UK coed dresses.
Instead of using the caste system
to decide class as they do In India,
a girls status Is determined by the
number of scarab bracelets she
wears. If .she wears none, well she
can t even be considered. If she
wears three or four, and they must
be authentic, she really has class.
However, anyone who Isn't up on
their fashions would conclude that
the poor girl had skinny wrists or
dirty arms and that she was trying
to hide them by wearing bracelets
up to her elbow.
Next we come to the round collars and circle pins. Everyone
wears these whether they have
Ions necks, short necks, fat necks,
tkuuiv necks, or no necks. And,
Heaven lul; tire sin. pie g:rl who
wears her circle pin in the wron
position on her collar. This is almost as tragic as not wearing one

Halting The Exodus

Gov. Bert Combs announced re
cently that the state will establish
a placement service for graduates of
Kentucky's colleges and universities
in an effort to keep more of them
in the commonwealth.
In a letter to Kentucky college
presidents, the governor said, "For
many years we have deplored the
loss of our trained college graduates
to industries in other states. The
loss is both economic and cultural.
It is reasonable to believe that
with Kentucky's expanding industry
there is even greater need for those
who have been trained in our colleges and universities."
Gov. Combs is absolutely right
and we applaud his action taken to
partially correct the situation that is
slowly depriving the state of its
human resources. We hope, however,
that the governor, the college presidents, and the others working on the
program realize that merely helping
s
find jobs in Kentucky
will not be a panacea for the problem.
Many talented young Kentuckians
leave the state not because they can-- ,
not find work here, but because the

...

degree-holder-

opportunities are better in other
states. The other states offer a greater
choice of jobs, better working conditions, higher salaries and standards of living, and more chances to
advance rapidly in one's career. That
is why it has become almost trite
to say that Kentucky colleges and
universities train teachers for Ohio
and Florida, engineers for the industrial North and West, and so on.
The only way to suppress this
wanderlust of young Kentuckians is
to make staying at home more enticing. The commonwealth's governmental, educational, and commercial
leaders must see that the upsurge
in efforts to industrialize Kentucky,
raise its standard of living, make its

When an improved Kentucky materializes, perhaps its college graduates will stop panting to get out of it.
Until then, it is doubtful that the
situation will be changed by having
a state placement service offer jobs
to them, for the situation cannot be
remedied while its causes still exist.

characters (whose) specialty is referring to the Horatio Alger books.

Now the whole point of this particular
is not because these persons are interested in
the nostalgia bit, or earlier American
literature, or the life and hard times
of Mr. Alger's waifs. Actually they
are trying to suggest they also came
up the hard way, while probably they
never had it any tougher than lugging the coal scuttle up from the
cellar or sitting the ashes.
The bid is not for sympathy, you
understand. It's really a kind of vanity, the old democratic pitch about
up from the ranks, and having to
fight for a two-cgarage,
carpeting and membership in
the golf club. So when you come to
someone like Ralph Gardiner of New

THE READERS' FORUM
Shame On Us
To The Editor:
Shame on you, young man! You
have not only lowered your own personal status in the eyes of this community, but you have brought shame
and reproach upon the better interests of this noble institution as well.
Alas, how can a man of your intelligence speak, with such an obvious air of authority, against the
heroic efforts of that sacred cult, tlie
'
Judiciary Board of Student Congress?
Mr. Editor, you actually said that
. . the Police Department put on
a good show for the committee." Why,
sir, just scads of times I have casually walked tip to Lexington police
officers and mildly commented, "Sir,
in my opinion, you possess many of
the characteristics noted in the character of that lowly creature, the jackass," in order to be courteously and
politely handcuffed and escorted to
the Rock Hotel for the night because
the landlady had failed to change my
sheets and clean the room for two
days. And the chief he always welcomes me with the glad hand and a
big grin. The food, too quite out of
this world I must say.
Lo, at second glance, I have discovered another loophole in your
critical appraisal, dear heart. You do
make such violent remarks! Yesterday at 12:30 p.m. I witnessed a highly
competitive marbles tournament in
which members of the organization in

where? Believe it or not, right in the
middle of Rose Street,' between the
Columbia Avenue traffic light and
the Fine Arts Building! So you see,
these loyal servants of mankind are
risking life and limb in order to
get the facts for us.
Lack of space, sir, will not permit
me to further expose your tyrannical
objections, but may I call your attention to the following recent actions on the part of the organization
publicly denounced by your publication :
1. Coach Collier's office, it was
rumored, has received applications
from all male memlers of SC for
permission to play at least one half
of a regularly scheduled football
game next fall.
2. A "beach" party has been
planned for April 31 in the M&O
Building, at which time three freshmen who failed to make their standings last semester will be drowned
in a bathtub.
3. A committee of 13 has been appointed to sit in the east end of the
balcony of Memorial Coliseum during
the State High School Basketball
Tournament in order to study the
effect of falling plaster on student
fans.
Now, Mr. Editor, won't you
humble your journalistic self enough
to apologize to those who may have
been offended by your thoughtless
remarks?

For Free Press
To The Editor:
As of late, the Kernel has printed
many letters pro and con over the
recent CORE case. Many of these letters seem to think that other articles
printed in the Kernel were
andor not true to the
facts. It must be realized that an
overzealous person in a strategic position with extreme pressures on him
will many times commit the unpar
misrep-resentati-

donable sin of making a statement ho
may wish to repudiate later on. However, in the case of a newsman, these
repudiations must not lie too numerous or else he will lose face and his
paper, too, will suffer. It seems that
this could (I am not saying it is) be
the case in the recent articles on the
CORE news story and follow-ups- .
Like all good newspapers, the Kernel
must try to hold as true to the facts
as is possible and still present a story
that will attract one's attention and
hold his interest. Still, a majority of
the letters - in THE READERS'
FORUM go against our dear old news
sheet.
May the policy of freedom of ex

pression continue to be extended by
the Kernel to those who wish to exercise it through the printed word,
especially in THE HEADERS'
FORUM. However, one must be
somewhat discriminating in his comments al)Out others similarly expressing their beliefs and acting to support their ideals, for these are the
basic reasons that we fight to keep
our nation from being forced to
abide by doctrines that will prohibit
such expressions and actions. Remember, the Kernel is the voice of
the student Ixnly of a great university
and the thoughts and ideas put forth
by personnel on the Kernel staff and
in THE READERS' FORUM go far
in creating an impression on others
on this campus and in the surrounding communities. You have a great
power of persuasion by what you
print and how accurate it is besides
berig "newsy." Use this power wisely
to r .present all so each will have an
equal opportunity to attain his ultimate goals in life. Only by this can
the true spirit of free press be maintained and strengthened.

Great Innovator
To The Editor:
It is well for those who wish to
disturb the tranquility of this community by active and unlawful action against proprietors who exercise
their legal right to select whom they
choose as patrons, to recall the words
of Bacon, "It was good that men in
their innovations should .follow the
example of time itself, which indeed
innovateth greatly, but quietly, and
by degrees scarcely to le perceived."
