An Important Decision
Tonight in some

homes at UK, the male Greeks of
campus will, put on the last show
of rush called preference night.
We will not direct our advice to
the fraternity men because they probably are well aware of the importance of this night in regard to their
fraternity's future success.
More than likely the fraternity
already has made up its mind in regard to the rushee. Now the big decision must be made by the rushee
himself.

figures of depledged men will bear
this out.
The choice should.be made with

well as immediate implications. Join-

ing a fraternity is a little more than
just a decision of where to live during the next four years or what place
to visit every Wednesday night to
renew acquaintances.
Each fraternity has something to
offer, depending on the type of person concerned. The rushee's choice
must be made on the basis of this.
He must decide for himself what
group best fits his needs and desires

-

Perhaps we may be assuming too
much- by saying that this year's rush
will not have the usual high pressure
sales tactics. Perhaps we will be a
bit off base by claiming that "modern psychology" will not be found in
UK fraternity houses tonight. But
we think that as a responsible public
servant we are obliged to emphasize
the importance of the choice the
mhees will probably be making tonight or, more than likely, in the
wee hours Friday morning.

Letter Blasts Kernel
To The Editor:

Why the first edition of the new
daily Kernel was greeted by "pleased
grins" escapes me. Embarrassed giggles would have been more appropriate.
You immediately engulfed the
reader with editorial trivia ("Wanted:
800 Ashtrays"), then boldly defended
your planned policy of remaining
aloof from important issues of the
world if they have "no relevance to
the University community" ("We
Made It!"). One wonders what kind
of college students are publishing the
paper.. Hbw carr they ignore
ant ' intellectual ' issues of any kind,
whether they be political, theological,
social? Not by the wildest .stretch of
the imagination can one imagine issues in these areas (to name only a
few) having no relevance to our University community.
One usually assumes 4hat- college
students are. active, searching, questioning individuals, eager to engage-iintellectual exchanges on any topic.
To forego this opportunity and be
proud of it in ahe interest of some
vague, bland impartiality is little
short of shameful. It seems not to
have occurred to you that knowledge and insight may derive from

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25

-

(AP)-- As

ery devoted follower of Congress knows,
it takes a heap of talking to make a bill

The lates "Congressional record" confirms this loquaciousness, for it includes
a final report card on the 85th Congress.
Sure enough, this was one of the most
Ttalkative Congresses in years.:
Jt generally isn't realized that long after the statesmen have departed, their
echoes linger on in new issues of the record. Like an ardent lover, who can't bear

P.S., a Congressman yearns to jot down
one more parting thought.
Like the ardent lover, too, a Congrcss- nift tends to overstate his case.

But even by gabby senatorial standards,

these self-lovpats aren't what
us devoted followers of Congress.
No, it's a single page of statistics, "a
resume of Congressional activity," that
draws our attention.
Here are such droll facts as how long
the senators talked, to the minute, with-OM- t
a worry as to what they said and who,
if anyone, listened. How many bills were
tossed into the hopper, counted impartially from the rnost important to the

Oct. 20, 1951, to find a Senate to compare
with this one.
That Senate, meeting two extra months,
put in 996 hours and 46 minutes, but this
so winded it that it gave up alter 651

More than 20,000 bills'and resolutions
were introduced. Mostly in committees,

became laws.

The great American experiment of
requiring schooling of everyone up to
the early teens, and affording it to every- one lor several years beyond lias pro- duced at least a total of education and
a distribution of it probably unprecc- dented in history. The magnitude ol the
task, however, has impelled a gravitation
toward the mediocre, as every teacher
knows.
Where all or most go to school and
crowd the classrooms how does one meet the outreach of the gifted and the
keenly interested
youngster without
leaving the poorly prepared and slow
learner hopelessly behind? How can one
meet the needs of the latter without in- justice to the former? In too- - many

The nation's capital is embarking on

those headed collrgeward but less gi I ted;

and one for slow learners.
