It would x seem that this was

highly out of keeping, considering
the lack of space in the SUB.
The conflict over space will probably get bigger in the next few
years before the proposed addition
is completed, but this one is going
on right now. Fortunately for the
students, the administration has
given the SU Board the final voice
in the alumni office matter.
As of now, it looks certain that
Room 128 is safe for student use
for awhile, but if the addition
doesn't come soon, there may be
an even bigger conflict later on.
Let's hope that the SUB remains
substantially a place for student
activities. This is the use for which
it was intended.

NEXT?
Although no one is talking about
it. there is a growing amount of
lecling arising over the SUB and
the space problems in the building.
Future UK expansion plans call
frr an extensive addition to the
t.uildins, but it is doubtful if this
will be a reality before this year's
freshman class graduates in 19G2.
This means that during the interim our student body will grow
nd so will the space problem. This
problem of space is not limited to
the SUB alone. We are plagued in
the same way in classroom space,
tut the Student Union is a problem in itself.
At this moment the Student
Union Board aritl its president,
John Anderson, is in the midst of a
j "ir lit over, the immediate
future
r f the building.
The situation shapes up like this.
The UK Alumni Association wants
to enlarge its office space in the
tuildir?. Presently the alumni office is across the hall from the
"V" ChapeL
The alumni space consists of two
mall offices, a reception area
(very small) and a working area
al.o limited in size.
The alumni want to increase
their space by having the University knock out the wall which
divides their area from Room 128.
The plan is to partition half of
Room 128 and use all of the room
lor .alumni office space.

The Readers' Forum
Hell : A Resting Place
To The Editor:
Mr. ""Arch" Ward's pious letter to
the Kernel condemning the "Give 'em
hell, Wildcats!" cheer may be praised
by many people, but I, lor one, must
'
take an opposing stand.
Words are tools used to convey
meanings and thoughts. If they do
this adecjuatcly they survive and are
employed by the masses if not, they
soon join the obsolete group.
Now' the word "heH"was defined
by Ward in three ways all apparently' from the Hible. It may or may not
be true that the concept of hell comes
from the Hible, but delinitions of
words are continually changing and
are largely determined by usage.
Webster's Xexv Wot Id Dictionary
clenily illustrates this point. The colloquial meaning list shows "defeat" as
one meaning. Slang "to be hell on"
means "to be very strict or severe

merely a resting place for the dead.)
It is apparent that our word "hell"
has very adecpiately conveyed our
meaning. To the majority it seems
to' mean to give the opposing team a
lough time, which certainly is the
Otherwise how
objective anyway.
would we win?
At the St. Louis game Saturday our
deafening .cheer, "Give 'em hell, Wildcats!" was heard by 30 million fans
thioughout the I'nited States. And
that is exactly wh.it we did.

Methods Of Worship

1

To The Editor:
'would like to make a lew comments on (iiuney XonnanV column
in last Thursday's Kernel.
Although I agreed with most of
the arguments made by N'onnan, I
thought one of his comments dealt
I

with a subject which he has no way
ol proving or even judging.
Here is an exierpt;

Croup fyiayas led by a preacher
are a time for thinking about some
distant thing (admit it, now), and,
when hymns aie snug, a load pipe
organ and a gionp of professional
singets in the choir drown out the
voices in the
audience. One who
would meditate seriously finds no
opportunity.
When a wiitcr in two sentences
can judge a method of' worship that
is used by millions of people, it seems
there is something wrong. It is my
opinion that no one, including Norman, has the tight to judge whether
a method of woiship is' effective or
not. What may seem loud and offensive to him may be perfectly beautiful to someone else (who is seeking to
worship, not to be cyclical).
According to his theory, the soldier
who prated to God with bombs bursting around him never could "seriously meditate." He would find "no oppottunity." Certainly circumstances
such as these aie worse than a loud
-'

pipe organ.

,

agice and boost the fact that
.Norman has a right to his own opinion in an editorial column. I hope his
opinion about meditation remains
there.

No longer is it the festival of the home, but the festival ol the

it is a very human multitude with
