Congressional

Congress will enact a major por
tion of President Eisenhower's legis- lative program, it was predicted
Tuesday night by Congressman Gerald R. Ford Jr.
Ford's prediction, made at a
"Town Meeting of the Air." program at the Coliseum Tuesday night,
was questioned by two Kentucky
newspapermen, who expressed the
opinion that the President does not
speak for his party and will need
strong support from the Democrats
if Congress is to pass important
legislation.
Congressman Ford contended that
the President will be able to gee his
proposals through Congress because
of his ability to

Congress in an effective manner.
Ford's predictions were made on
the basis of what he termed the
President's "batting average." where
32 or 44, or 72 per cent, of his proposals were enacted by the 83rd

The low economic status of its faculty and staff mcmlers is the
most vital of all the issues facing UK today. President II. E. Donovan told the University's Hoard of Trustees Tuesday.
"In spite of a iiuuiIht of small increases in salaries the Board
has made to our professors and staff during the last decade, the
prolcssor today finds himself poorer in terms of purchasing power
than h- was at the
of the Second World War," Dr.
Donovan said.

"The quality of a university does

upon the character and quality
of its professors. The faculty makes

his best work if he is constantly under economic pressure and I fear
this is the case with many of our
teachers." Dr. Donovan stated.
The UK president termed the
problem of turnover in personnel
critical. "During a recent year we
lost 38 of our very excellent teachers," he said. "Within the past
month Duke University claimed one
of our best men and Michigan State

Former Democratic Congressman
now editor of
the Lexington Herald, agreed that
Ford's figures were correct, but argued that the Democrats came to
the President's rescue and passed
many of his measures.
Underwood added that, under the
Truman administration, the GOP
refused to support legislation sponsored by the Democrats.
Postponement of basic issues was
charged to the Republicans by Wei- don James. Courier-Journeditorial writer, who said that Issues such
as farm legislation, tax problems,
and social security were passed over
by the 83rd Congress.
On balancing the budget. Ford
predicted that the federal deficit
would be only 3.8 billion dollars for
the fiscal year of 1954. He compared
this figure with the 12 billion dollars
which he said former President Tru- man had estimated in his report of
the budget before leaving office,
Underwood and James agreed that
our national defense program has
been weakened by steep cuts. James
pointed out that 23.000 men had
been dropped from the Marine Corps

Sandford Questions Motion
Kim said that this was not the
solution to the problem of taking in
girls who wanted to pledge but did
not get bids. She said it would only
increase the number of girls that
could be taken by 20 at the most
nd that when the affiliates for the
sororities were taken into account,
thr number would be less than 20.
Judy Henry, ADPi, replied that
adding five to the number of girls
each sorority could pledge and keeping anothei sorority off this campus
is the object of the motion and
would be better than doing nothing.
However, the motion failed with
a vote of 6 to 3. During the discussion of the quota problem. Pat Curry, KD. said, "The only solution for
the situation would be a new sorority, and that is what we are
fighting against."

Jackie Cottom explained that the
national Panhellenic policy was to

Dr. Charles Snow
Aids In Studying
Bones Of Youth
Dr. Charles E. Snow, head of the
Department of Anthropology,
has advised Jessamine County offi- cials that human bones found on
Dec. 5 off a bank of the Kentucky
River are the remains of a youth
between the ages of 18 and 19.
The anthropologist said this week
that the information was included
in a report which he prepared for
the Jessamine authorities following
an examination of the remains. The
bones had been turned over to Dr.
Snow last week.
"From all indications, these bones
are the remains of a Negro youth
who died shortly before completing
his growth," Dr. Snow said. "We
were able to establish his age as
somewhere between 18 and 20 after
studying the jaw with several teeth,
ribs and two femurs (thigh bones i,"
he said.
Dr. Snow explained that it was
impossible to determine the cause
of death from the remaining bones.
However, he did point out that
neither the skull remnants nor the
other bones offered evidence of a
violent death.
Dr. Snow, during the war, was
for his skill in identifying
the remains of bodies by studying
bone remnants. His chief task was
the identification of unknown war

Regulations Amended
To Forestall A ttack
A section of UK regulations per- taming to academic Ireedom was
amended by trustees Tuesday "to
forestall any attack on the Univer- sity as a free institution."
The amendment was prepared by
a committee appointed by the Board
of Trustees at its September meet- ine- Governing regulations relating
to academic freedom at other uni- versities were studied by the com- mittee before the amendment was
prepared.
The amendment to Section 5 of
the University's regulations follows:
I. The teacher is entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing
his subject, but he should be careful not to introduce into his teaching controversial matter which has
no relation to his subject. Limitations of academic freedom because
of religious or other aims of the institution should be clearly stated in
writing at the time of the appointment.
II. The college or university teacher is a citizen, a member of a
learned profession, and an officer
of an educational institution. When
he speaks or write.-- : as a citien. he
should be free troin institution;.
censorship or discipline, but his special position in the community imposes special obligations. As a man
of learning and an education officer, he should remember that the
public may juilue his profession and
his institution bv his utterances.
Hence lie should at all times be
curate, should exercise appropriate
restraint, should show respect for
the opinions of others, and .should
make every effort to indicate that
he is not an institutional spokesman. The judgment of what constitutes fulfillment of these obligations should rest with the individ-

appropriations are available.
In this connection, the board
adopted the following resolution:
"The Board of Trustees commends
the Legislative Research Commission and its Advisory Committee on
Medical Education for their excellent report dealing with the need
for additional physicians and for an
enlarged medical service in Kentucky and with the factors involved
in the establishment of a
medical school at the University.
"In the light of the acute needs
outlined in the report, the Board
will look with favor on the establishment of a medical school at the
University whenever it appears that
aorquate appropriations can be
made available.

The following is a brief resume of the findings of

index in 1940 stood at

How- -

Christmas Is Time
For Deep Thought
With the arrival of another Christmas season,
students begin thinking of returning home and of
the pleasures to which they can look forward over
the holidays. To many . . . that is Christmas.
In our rush to leave studies and cares behind, we
easily forget the reason for celebrating Christinas.
Millions of words have been written on the subject. The Real Meaning of Christmas, yet these
words have, failed to have much impact on the
thinking of this generation.
The world continues to move faster, and we continue to grow more materialistic. It is seldom that
we take time to ponder the meanings of things we
so readily take for granted. At 'Christmastime, especially, we fail to grasp the full significance of
the occasion.
There is more to Christinas than the mere exchanging of gilts, the decorating of a tree, and the
merry-makin-

g.

.

.

Had you ever considered attending church services on Christmas day with your familv?
Do you think of the less fortunate and strive to
make their Christmas a little brighter?
Do you try to reflect the happiness and unselfishness that is associated with Christmas?
Do you make Christinas a family observance . . .
a time when parents and children alike have reason
to feel a closer bond?
All this enters into the true spirit of Christmas.
In doing these things you'll find yourself having a
happier and more lasting Christmas. The idea
could even be carried over into evervday living.

The
status of the university professor is reflected also in what his counterpart in
government and industry is receiv ing lor his services. . . In a study made two years ago of the employment, education, and earnings of American men
of science, it was found that Ph. D's in college and
university teaching earned on the average only 6S.7
as much as Ph. D's in priv ate industry and only 77.3
as much as Ph. D's in government service.
(5) Are the people of Kentucky capable financially of paying their professors higher salaries. . ."
A lmik at the figures reflecting Kentucky incomes
will show that if Kentucky was able to pay the
kind ol salaries in 1940, she should Ik- more than
able to pay salaries of equal purchasing power in
1952 and 1953. On the whole, Kentucky is far better off than in 1940.
At the conclusion of its report, the committee
submitted three recommendations (1) That the Administration of the University be petitioned to do
all in its power and means to restore salaries to the
buying power of those in 1940, (2) That the Administration be urged to impress upon the Hoard f
Trustees, Cov. Lawrence Wetherby, the budget
Division, and the General Assembly the facts set
forth in the report, and (3) That the public be
made aware of the situation through the press,
radio, and other such mediums.

Our SGA Deserves
Better Cooperation
From UK Students

By LESLIE MORRIS

,
deserves
Our student government body,
from students and faculty than
much more support
it has received in the past. Admittedly, it makes
mistakes, blunders along in ruts of petty insignificance, and makes far too many "investigations to
study the possibility of moves. Even so, there are
some extremely capable and willing representatives
in SCA who. w ith the aid of the student IxkIv and
the faculty, could advance UK several degrees in
the direction of progress.
During this semester, SGA had several opportunities to prove its worth, but, without the support of
the student body and faculty, could only make
slight advances. For instance, when SGA was asked
to promote amendment of Section 1S6 of the Kentucky Constitution, it did everything in its power.
Posters were printed, letters were mailed to the
various campus organizations, and lxxiths were set
up to facilitate receiving absentee ballots. In spite
of the publicity, in spite of SGA's efforts, very few
students took an active interest in promoting the
amendment.
The road to a closer lnind between SGA and the
student lxxly is open. All students, under SGA's
constitution, lxeome a member of SGA upon registering at the University. With that right, and privilegeone that is abused to an absurd degree any
student can appear before the assembly to voice a
complaint or to actually participate in discussion,
planning, or ac tion.
SGA's d(xrs are open to everyone. It is not an
exclusive, restricted organization, acting upon its
own whims or upon those of the administration. Its
purpose is to seek out rough spots and to legislate
accordingly. P.ut it can t do these things efficiently
without the aid of the student body. Help it.
