known as an authority on primitive peoples, returned yesterday
from a four year scientific expedition to the headwaters of tlu
Amazon River. Among the many interesting mementos of hi

refused to reveal how his head shrinking was accomplished.
"That's for me to know and you to find out," he said with a
tiny, but saucy grin.

Supposedly an orvianiation dedicated to

with a little key. Whereas it was founded to

It has been our experience to know many

curdled.
Letting observations fall where they may,
we first remark that most VK students we
hae known are seriously delinquent in purpose and personality. Whereas we admire
the student who acquires knowledge for his
personal satisfaction and improvement, we
have found the majority of PHK students of
the opposite stamp. For the most part, they
hae been people with no drive, little personality, and a serious lack of that vital element known as common sense.
We also observe that a majority of the
PBK students have been persons who have
dedicated their entire schooling to the single
purpose of graduating with honors
Second, we have noted that the majority
of PHK students have almost no comprehension of the applications to which their knowledge can be put to use. Their minds are the

Theve reflections, of course, do not pertain
to all persons who have reached the Phi Ik ta
Kappa level. Neither do they touch on the
essential aim of the organization.
We do feel, however, that Phi lieta Kappa
just isn't what it used to be-- or what it was

intended to

Ik?.

Too many selections are made solely on
the basis of academic achievement. In many
instances, there are students who devote
themselves to many pursuits and, who consequently, do not have the time for the
memorization-retentioritual of the average
Phi beta Kappa.
Too much emphasis is put on mechanical
processes and too little emphasis is given for
such qualities as leadership.
Too many Phi Peta Kappas are students
who know the meteorological reasons behind
rain, but who don't have enough' sense to
come in out of it.
Too many Phi I'eta Kappas come from the
common stamp of stereotyped intellectual-ism- .
There are no honors for the student who
can take a few basic facts and create or originate or modify in a beneficial manner.
Too many Phi Beta Kappas are students
who have substituted familiarity with books
for an understanding of their society and the
roles they must play if they are to succeed
in that society.
There is a need for recognition of academic achievement;" but this recognition
should center on the application of knowledge rather than the accumulation of it.

oc Wall Did A Good Job
The University of Kentucky has come out
loser in the resignation of Dr. Bennett II.
Wall as director of the men's dormitories.
as "Doe"
Dr. Wall, known
by both the residents of the dorms and the
monitors, has established a record of accomplishment which he can well be proud of.
Doc, to everv freshman, is the iron svmbol
of discipline. For the first few weeks a freshman is in the dorms, he hears vague rumors
about that mighty man of mystery ensconced
behind the doors of his' study.
And, young men, being what they are, usually meet Doc on at least one occasion. A
man of severe impartiality, Doc Wall knows
how people tick. He can spot a phony a mile
away and he can spot the boy who is in genn
talk.
uine need of a good
The surprising thing about Doc Wall is
that he can usually figure out just what's
under a boy's skin by talking to him for a
few minutes. If his somewhat stony acceptexcuses doesn't change a
ance of half-truperson's mind, Doc's frankness will.
Handling the. more than 500 students in
the dorms hasn't been an easy job nor has
it been one of the most pleasant tasks a man
could undertake.
There are always the thieves, bullies, perverts, and other unsavory persons who are
found in any crowd living in the dorms.
Handling these delinquents and protecting
the others from them requires a lot of personal integrity, skill, and ability to cope successfully with any. problem. Doc Wall is. a
man with all of these characteristics.
Doc is probably best known for his fairness. In his position, Doc Wall saw and adequately handled many situations that would
have taxed the patience of a lesser man.
To mention a few of these situations, there
are always the firecrackers, flooded
cats being chased by dogs, murderous
notes tacked to monitors' doors, broken

We like the story about the thrifty coed

her face in the ice cream freezer for two
hours straight.
