IPC Dance Will Feature
The Buddy Morrow Band
In addition to the fourteen piece

Buddy Morrow and his Band of
Tomorrow will play for the
Dance Dec. 8.
The annual dance will be held
in the Student Union Building.
Dancing will be in the ballroom
with tables set up in the cafeteria
because of the crowded conditions.
Morrow's band is classed among
America's leading bands and his
records bave included "The Man
With the Golden Arm", "Dragnet",
and "Night Train",
Versatility is the keynote of the
Buddy Morrow Band. This outstanding quality, combined with
the finest music, explains why the
band now holds "biggest crowd of
the year" marks in various ballrooms " throughout " the country."
Morrow knows what the crowd
wants and the outfit plays it slow
and sweet or fast and furious.
Morrow is one of the greatest
trombonists of the present day.
Inter-fraterni-

band, Morrow will bring with him
the lovely and talented vocalist
Betty Anne Blake. Also featured
in the band is Dick Johnson, jazz
saxophone star.
Only fraternity men will be allowed to attend the semi-formdance. Barkley Baird, chairman of
the dance, announced that the
tickets will be $3.25 a couple.
Vocals are handled in the traditional Morrow manner, everything
from the sweetest ballad to the
strongest Jump tune. Such features
make the band a top crowd pleaser.
Morrow's band has set up a code
of clean, listenable, danceable rhythms which is proving very popular with customers and critics alike.
As Buddy puts it, "Do not try to
educate the public from the bandstand, instead play the type music
that they want to hear".

Mock Courts
In Session
Each Monday
Judicial law and order ran wild
in Lafferty Hall Monday afternoon,
as law students participated in
another of this year's mock trials.
These mock courts, held each
Monday at 2 p.m., compose the
practice courts class of the Law
College. Prof. A. B. McEwen, instructor of the class, serves as
courtroom Judge.
Senior law students are in complete charge of case construction.
They work put all case details as
well as the testimonies. Although
these legal cases are planned in
all seriousness, the humorous developments that arise are completely unrehearsed.
This week's session found prosecuting attorneys Lowell Lundy and
Beauchamp Brogan attempting to
convict C. N. Manis of illegal possession of intoxicating beverages.
Representing the defendant were
Albert Jones and Jack Cloar. The
twelve Jurymen were unable to
reach a verdict after listening to
the two hour argumentation which
brought seven witnesses to the

* 4 -- THE KENTUCKY KERNEL. Friday. Nov. 16. 10V,

Phone System
Is Not The Best

Among the loudest and most persistent student
gripes heard on the campus today is the question
of what's wrong with the University telephone sys-

tem.
We spent an enlightening hour the other afternoon watching" the harassed University operators
attempt to cope with the incessant flow of calls
coming into their switchboard.
From this hour of observation, and from talks
with various groups of students, one conclusion
seems inescapable. The phone setup could definitely stand some improvement.
The chief bone of contention is that during certain hours, mainly at night, it is a virtual impossibility to cither phone into or. out of the University there are no outside lines open.
And, in view of the anticipated increase in enrollment during the next few years, it appears certain that the situation will get steadily worse unless
remedial steps are taken.
Seven years ago, when the switchboard was
moved from McVey Hall to its present site at the
Funkhouser Building, 26 outside lines were installed to handle the traffic.
Today there are still 26 outside lines, although
plans are . supposedly underway to increase this
number to 30.
Yet during this period of time, the number of
phones on the campus has shown a substantial .increase. Keeneland Hall added 19 student phones

fj

--

to the total; Donovan Hall contributed 21; and the
new system installed in the men's dormitory quadrangle recently added another 25. These totals do
not take into account the additional phones placed
in buildings around the campus as more office space
has been made available.
On the present switchboard, there are 10 outside lines from the dormitories. Thus, only 10
couples can be using dormitory phones to talk to
persons outside the University system.
The telephone company has, it says, through increased technical knowledge, and by new innovations, helped somewhat to alleviate the problem.
But it is hard to convince a . person of this as he
tries unsuccessfully to complete an outside call for
the better part of an hour, but gets nothing but a
busy signal because all the outside lines are in use.
There seems to be no complete agreement on
how best to handle the problem. One suggestion is,
of course, for students to limit their calls and to try
to place their calls at less busy hours, such as in the
morning. But a ruling such as this would be practically impossible to enforce.
Another, more realistic, proposal, would seem to
be to install more outside lines, and possibly anonly
other switchboard. Under the present set-utwo operators can work at once, because the switchboard will not accommodate any more.
It is impossible Jto estimate accurately the cost of
an outside line. Admittedly it would not be cheap.
But it would seem, for a school which prides itself, and perhaps tightly so, as being on the
"threshold of greatness," the compensation received in the form of better public relations among
the students would more than outweigh the cost of
installation.
According to some observers, the University of
Kentucky is fortunate in having so many phones
available for the students, as compared to the systems in many other colleges and universities.
This may be true. But still, a phone that cannot
be used much of the time is possibly just as bad,
than no phone
and certainly more
p,

.

.

nerve-wrackin- g,

at all.
A system whereby each student would receive
100 per cent satisfaction is, of course, an impossi-

bility. But some expansion of the present system
would certainly be a boon to students and faculty
and would undoubtedly help the operators, who
really are the true victims of the present situation.

'Little Derby'
IdeaSupported
What could be, if backed fully, the greatest student .participation activity ever held at the University of Kentucky, came one step nearer realization
Tuesday night when the full Little Kentucky Derby
Committee met at the Student Union Building.
".The only thing remaining before the committee
can proceed with plans for the Derby is approval,
of the event by the University Faculty. This approval seems almost a certainty to be forthcoming
at the next faculty meeting.
Although the Little Derby is still in the talking
and planning stage, the event has already captured
the imagination of all who have been connected in
any way with the program since the idea was first
proposed last Spring,
Club instigated the idea,
The Student-Alumafter hearing of the almost phenomenal success of
the "Little 500" race held annually at the University
of Indiana.
But the Derby, tentatively scheduled for the
weekend of May 10, would not be the product of
any one campus group, neither would it be sponsored by any group.
It is mainly for this reason that the Kernel wholeheartedly supports the idea of the Little Derby, and
hopes earnestly that the enthusiasm shown by members of the committee in the early stages of planning
does not wane as time for the race approaches.
A major complaint of many independents on this
campus is that too many functions and activities
are open only to Greeks.
This is to a large degree true.
The Little Derby, because it is not sponsored by
any organization, and because it not only welcomes,
but needs competitors from tile ranks of independent and Greek alike, answers this complaint.
What exactly would the little Derby consist of?
Tentative plans call for the event to be an
affair, culminated by the Derby on Saturday
dance on Saturday
afternoon and an
night.
The Derby itself would be modeled after the
Kentucky Derby held the first Saturday in May
each year in Louisville.
Each entrant would have three sponsors the
men's team actually riding the bicycles to be used
in the race; the women's group to furnish the cheering and the mechanics of decoration; and a downtown business establishment which would furnish

Other than this, no further plans are available
until faculfy approval is obtained and final details
are worked out.
The proceeds from" the race would go, in full,
towards a scholarship fund.
The 1956 edition of the Indiana race grossed
$24,000. 'While this total is probably not within
reach of the UK Derby this year, it is a goal worth
striving for.
If all the students who have long and loudly denounced the University for not furnishing any activities available to everyone would just as loudly
and energetically support the Little Derby it Would
be assured of success and would constitute a major
step in the growth and development of this Uni'

Stronger Stand Urged
To the Editor:
Let us students, take a long, hard look at the situation that, now exists in Hungary. Another in the
long line of atrocities of the Russians in Hungary
has been made public. This time it is the shipping
of Hungarian patriots into Russia by sealed cattle
cars. No doubt another note or condemnation will
be sent to the Russian leaders. Another resolution
may be passed in the United Nations. But, what
the Hungarians need is help, not condolences.
We as students are constantly aware that this
country became the world leader of freedom only
because ' in the beginning someone helped us in
drawing away from England. Yet while the Hungarian people are now being imported into Russia,
what is our country doine?
Peace is everyone's goal and hope. But there
comes a time when we as a people must gamble
with that peace in order to save another. For what
is real peace when we have to watch another country being sacrificed so that we can keep going on
our road of peace a little longer? Is that the kind
of peace we jint when we have to stand by and
watch the Hungarians being crushed and unmercifully slaughtered so that the spark of freedom won't
spread? If this is the kind of peace that lies ahead
for us, then let us never have it.
When we have to witness the acts performed by
the Russians and only send ,notes, then peace becomes secondary. It then becomes time to take
action. America must not sacrifice these people, for
they have as much right to live in freedom as we.
It is the foundation of every religion, if not right
of every free nation to go to the aid of these op'
pressed and helpless people.
When this country's desire for peace becomes so
overwhelming that. we can stand by and witness
the slaughtering and atrocities in Hungary, then we
have failed.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Milne

If it's some sort of activity and
you don't know where it's going
to be, you have a good chance of
being right if you guess the Alumni Gym. In it you will find everything from intramurals to Civil

Defense Headquarters. r
Until the completion of Memorial Coliseum a few years ago, the
Alumni Gym, which seats 2800
people, was used for UK's varsity
basketball games.
Originally known as the "Basketball Building," the Gym was
completed in 1923, using funds
raised by the Alumni Association.
In 1921 and 1922, the Alumni Association held a drive to raise
