SC Approves New Budget System
Funds Needed
To Publish
Spring Stylus

f

By MIKE FEARING, Kernel Daily Editor

Student Congress approved its 19G1-6budget Monday
night tinder a new system which is expected to leave the organization $939.3() in the black at the end of the year.

Stylus, University literary
publication, may not publish a
spring semester issue unless
sulficient funds are allocated
by Student Congress.

2

Phillips Brooks, editor of Stylus
for the fall semester, said the $250
given Stylus would be adequate to
Insure a fall semester issue of the
magazine.

ft

Stylus, issued tuice during the
school year, is composed of students' short stories, poems, and
art works.
But, Jim Daniel, president of
Student Confess, said he was
doubtful about the chances of
Stylus getting a 1250 appropriation net semester, especially if
the student government can find
no new source of income.
t
And the Student Con'irfM Finance C ommittee indicated Monday night that it will probably
recommend no additional fundi
for Stylus second semester.
Brooks aid Stylus could not
conceivably publish a spring semester mtgazine if the money appropriated is less thfin $250.
Meanwhile, staff members of
Stylus tire scare hing for ways to
obtain money in the event Student Congiess fails to appropriate
the entire $250 next semester.
Suggestions under consideration
include:
1. Ask for additional
support
from University administrators.

The budget will not go Into effect, however, until the allocations
are approved by Dean of Men L. L.
Martin and President Frank O.
Dickey, Gene Harris, treasurer of
Student Congress, pointed out.

tern, President Daniel said that
formerly the yearly organization
allocations were transferred out of
the Student Congress account and
many times not used until the end
of the year.

The Student Congress Finance
Committee has estimated the income of the body to be $8,927,
which will include student fees
from fall, spring, and summer semesters.

Student Congress had no real
control over the allocated funds
and this greatly handicapped
the organization, the president
added.

Through this fund the president
has been authorized to use up to
$25 as is necessary.
However,
amounts from $25 to $75 must be
approved by the Finance Committee, and amounts over $75 must be
approved by Student Congress.
Associated Women's Students,
an organization not yet approved
by the University faculty, waa
granted $300, the largest grant of
the lump-suallocation made by
SC to a student organization
this semester.

Estimated expenses, which in- elude personal services, grants for
organizations and activities, and
operating expenses, have been set

at

$8,032.70.

The newly approved budget
does not include a proposal by
Student Congress to give the
organization the profits from the
vending machines now received
by the --University.
The request was placed before
President Dickey last week by a
group of 25 students headed by
Jim Daniel, president of Student
Congress.

mittee on fraternities which recommended such action.
Under the new regulations, fraternities may invite
to their social events only by individual invitation.
Dr. B. F. D. Runk, dean of the
university, said the prime cause of
the disturbance "was the encouragement of a number of troublemakers from outside the univer
sity, Including many students from
other colleges."
Dr. Runk said he believed the
disorder was not connected with
the earlier disturbance, also broken
up by police with tear gas.
Police said the disorder began
after midnight when some of the
fraternity house parties began to
break up. They said a street was
blocked by bonfires and a rope

* THE READERS' FORUM

The Kentucky Kernel
of

Differ Willi Kiliior

Kentvcky

University

To The Editor:
I have just read the article
"Sportalk" written by lien Fitzpatrick in the November 8, 1961 issue.
I am not sure whether Mr. Fitpat-ricis a sports writer or a coach, but
from reading the aricle I would think
that he is a better coach than sports
writer.
He states that Ole Miss pulled all
stops to try to win. I would like for
him to state how Georgia made their
second touchdown against Kentucky.
I would be inclined to believe that
when passing from your own end
zone, some stops must have been
open.
Mr. Fitzpatrick also states that
Kentucky has two of the finest receivers in the nation and the nation's
third leading passer. This is very true;
however, I doubt that the record
would be as well if Kentucky did
nothing but pass. It is well to keep
the defense off balance, and by using
some running plays,, it keeps things
going. I remember one game where
Kentucky was moving the ball and
was inside the opponents
line,
and Kentucky was penalized 15 yards.
Now I guess it should have been a
pass, but they gave the ball to Rans-deand he put Kentucky back into
business. Dunnebacke has made good
yardage carrying the ball when everyone thought it was to Ik? a pass. Kentucky has run the ball many times
when I thought they should have
passed, and have passed when I was
quite sure they should have run, but
then I realize that I am not a coach
and am completely out of my field.
I am sure that if Mr. Fitzpatrick
would try to find some good points
in Kentucky's team he will find as
many instances of good ball as he
finds in Ole Miss or any other team.
Incidentally, if he listened to Ole
Miss against LSU, he could write a
book about the mistakes Ole Miss
made.
I am aware of the freedom of the
press, freedom of speech, and other
freedoms, and reporters of the Kernel
are always reminding their readers
of these freedoms, and I certainly
agree with them. Now, if Mr. Fitzpatrick intends to be a sports writer
after he completes college, I want to
have some freedom of advice and
advise him of some facts that he will
learn with maturity. It is very easy
to criticize, and he will learn that
if he finds only fault in his home

Little Sisters And Brothers
Alpha Tau Omega fraternity has
caused numerous snickers around the
campus in the past few days by its
announcement to acquire 20 little
sisters. While surprising and humorous on the surface, this new affiliate
program has possibilities of vastly improving UK's entire fraternity system.
A little sister program may do a
jnarific job with date problems, encourage fraternities to be interested
in things outside their own organizational program, and may put some
long awaited life and spirit back into
rush. Time will tell.
The Kernel firmly endorses the
program and hopes the idea will
spread to other organizations. Yet,

the humor of the situation cannot be
ignored.
Visualize the future when coed
small-talmight include, "What fraternity are you going to pledge,
Thelma?" Maybe the girls will counter
with a little brother program; we
doubt it though, our society is not
particularly keen on little brothers.
Then again, fraternities may adopt
a little professor program. This could
solve numerous problems like grades,
class cuts, and probation. Think of the
power and glory fraternities could
derive from pledging the deans of
women as little sisters. Wouldn't that
be something to write home about.
The possibilities are endless, but
other programs will be left to the
reader's imagination.

days of Mom and Pop, nor does anyone want to exert himself for "bed
rolling." We've found that telephone
booths get a little too crowded at
times. So, now we vent our hatred for

fallout shelter.
The Oregonian reports that men
at State University College at Brock-por- t,
N. Y., claim a new record for
which apparently is
the latest fad in college circles. They
got 197 scholars into a room 15 by
10 by 8 feet, approximate dimensions
of a fallout shelter.
The Oregonian points out:
may solve an ethical problem which even clergymen
have disagreed about. If the collegians can show how the residents of a

whole block can get into one householder's shelter, the question of shoot

Aiiswith Editorial
To The Editor:
Cassandra! (My Old
Touchr,
Kentucky 'Shelter,' Nov. 9). The answer to your question is not negative.
I am from Kentucky; however, I see
Kentucky only as a part of the whole.
Homogeneous cultures encompassing
small art as of this nation prevent national integrity and have contributed
to, if not directly caused, our major
internal piohlems today. Members of
these isolated cultures who have the
particular bioguc, traditions, and environment indigenous to their area,
hold suspect and are prejudiced
against those whose backgrounds are
different.
Further, I believe that contributions, such as Foster's "My Old Kentucky Home," to culture should be
used as stepping stones to new heights
not stumbling blocks in the path of
further cultural progress.
It is evidently more obvious to me
than to you that, to your "good old
Kentuckians," this ballad amounts to
nothing more than a melancholy tune
which recalls something sad in the
lives of the listeners, who are not
sufficiently interested to learn the
lyrics. For this reason crowds, swept
up in mass icsponse and high anticipation of an ensuing athletic event,
"stand erect," anil mumble a few
words before becoming completely
silent.
This exchange wlil have one of
two possible effects. Either your
hypostutization will cause all the
"good old Kentuckians" to rally their
force's and make Lexington vibrate
with the lyrics of "My Old Kentucky
Home" at the next home game, or
fewer people will sing it than have
in the past. In the latter case, if you
still insist on experiencing catharsis,
with tears in your eyes, I suggest
you vohmtee r to sing the ballad as a
soloist as is done with the national
anthem at many athletic contests. You
may sing either Foster's version or
your own ccjually inappropriate adaptation, which reveals a rather pessimistic and fatalistic attitude on your
part, which may reflect Kentucky
tradition but hardly so the tradition
upon which our nation was built.

Dr. Dickey Gives Views On Education Study

(EDITOR'S NOTE: The Kernel has
previously reported, in part. University President Frank G. Dickey's comments on the report of the Governor's
Commission Tor The Study f Public
Higher Education. The complete text
of Dr. Dickey's statement is reprinted
here for the benefit of the University
community.)
We believe that statewide planning is desirable and necessary and
that sound state planning may indeed
result in encouraging the wisest use
of the state's resources, and in maintaining an orderly patter of operations
and relationships.
A single board of control for the
public institutions within a state is
not a panacea. Experience with this
mechanism is uneven among the
states where it has been tried and at
best it cannot deal adequately with
the institutions outside its jurisdiction.
In the end it is our belief that the

effectiveness of state planning rests
with the willingness of the individual
institutions to participate and with
the desire on the part of each to work
with others in the attack on larger
problems. Such willingness and desire
will be expressed only when there is
no threat, direct or indirect, to the
institution's autonomy or individuality, when there is no possibility of
regimentation or political force.
All elforts at coordination must in
the end depend upon the action of
the individual institutions a c t i o n
based upon voluntary judgment, action designed to preserve the individuality of the institution within the
pattern of the whole American democratic enterprise.
The real answer to the question
of determining the locations and programs of institutions of higher learning is to be found in "dollars and
cents." It is our unanimous and consid

ered judgment that no new centers er
institutions should be established until
the existing institutions of higher education are adequately supported on a
basis which will place the support of
our institutions on a comparable level
with those of the states with which
we must compete for staff and students. A conservative figure for the
construction of any new facility would
be at least $S5(),(KK) and the annual
operating budget for a minim
