Little Kentucky Derby was a success witli profits ing committee for the derby

reaching almost $1,000.
James Beazley, alumni fund director, said it would have been satisfying even if the derby had only
broken even financially. He said
the proceeds will come in the
future years.
The derby was patterned after
'The Little 500" at the University
of Indiana. The bicycle race was
financially unsuccessful at IU the

first year, but now several scholarships are given each year.
Carolyn Collier, chairman of the
derby, said at least one I'K scholarship could be given this year.
Mis Collier stated that the derby
was definitely a success.
Miss Collier said that a com- financial report is unavail
Ple
able until the results of the ticket
sales are in. She said approximately 762 tickets are unaccounted
for.

Charles McCullough, ticket chairman, said 850 persons paid 25
cents each to see the Debutante
Stakes. He said around 2,000
people saw the Little Kentucky
Derby.
Miss Collier said $1,446.10 had

been made but this didn't

are still out. About $500 was lost

Exams loom closer and closer. The sands run out ; the

Accordingly, I have asked the makers of Philip Morris
whether I might not dispense with jesting in today's column and instead devote it to a cram course in languages.
Their consent was cheerfully given, for they are fine,

Clement told of the work of J. L.

Clement said that Fortney started with only an idea and a slogan
and with these he accomplished his
end. There were 1000 acres of
wasteland which the orphanage
owned and Fortney set out to
change it into a productive farm

He used the slogan, "One day's

John A. Perkins, Under Secretary of Health. Education, and
Welfare, made this statement in
an address given at the three dav
state Rural Development Program

meeting held on the University of
Kentucky campus this week.
Secretary Perkins continued. ' In
such communities, young people
may have difficulty preparing
themselves for careers in science,
agriculture engineering, medicine,
business, teaching, and other careers that will be needed more and
more as our economy develops and
expands."
Good health services can make
positive contributions to a dynamic rural development program."
said the secretary. Rural people
want and need good health facilities but doctors are reluctant to
settle where such facilities do not
exist.

o ca

Strengthening of local public
health agencies by various means
and vocational rehabilitation are
approaches that should challenge

any area desiring to make greater
economic progress, Perkins went on

w

to say.
Economic problems of needy old
people, the totally disabled, and
other such groups, should be looked into. Social welfare programs
that result in developing constructive ways of dealing with these
people's problems arc needed.
Better education is the one factor that is basic to all others in
the development of an area, said

the- secretary. The financial advantages of education to the individual are great, he added, and
also the community interested in
attracting technical industry holds
out a major inducement if its local
labor force is an educated one.
"Vocational education," Perkins
said, "seems especially attractive
in many rural situations." Vocational programs can give direction
and purpose to young people, especially if they are not highly

goals.

A vocational program, said Per --kins, must not limit itself to the
present important occupations but
must take into account, in so far
as possible, important occupations
of the future. Training so specifically for particular occupations
that basic subjects are neglected
will make it difficult or impossible
to shift occupations as conditions
change or grow more technical,
the speaker said.
Perkins said that there are three
thoughts in preparing the curriculum, whether it be vocational,
college preparatory, or general.

Platform
For Better SGA
Use

When elections arc over, political platforms have
served their major purpose: tliey have played a significant part in g( tting candidates elected to the
sought-fo- r
offices. More often than not, they are
left behind along with campaign posters, match-boo- k
debris.
covers, and other
This, we trust, will not be the case with the incoming student government officers.
The victorious Students' Party has a good platform. It contains planks which advocate reforms
that could help this university to become an increasingly better institution.
We would like to believe that this platform, and
not mere personalities, was the deciding factor in
last week's elections.
If this is true, then the students who elected the
new SGA officers expect more than a smile from
them. They expect to see these campaign promises
turned into realities, and they are wholly justified
in doing so.
We urge you, then, Mr. Uavencraft and all you
other newly elected people upon whom the responsibility for effective student government rests not
to take your promises lightly.
Give the students their money's worth: make an
honest effort to fulfill your party's platform.
We ask nothing more.

Letters From The Readers

This Matter

Little Derby Lauded

Of Policy...
William Allen White once said, "Consistency is a
paste jewel that only cheap men cherish." We of
the new Kernel staff would like to adopt this as a
kind of motto, or statement of policy.
Since some, perhaps, may be curious as to how
we would apply this statement to tho policy ' of a
newspaper, we shall explain.
In the news columns of the Kernel will be found
no change. As has always been, you will find news
stories written as clearly, as accurately, and as objectively as we can write them. We shall observe
two criteria for selecting this news: interest to our
readers, and common decency.
We w ill not be moved by promises or pressures
from any group political, professional, or social.
As nearly as is humanly possible, we will print the
news as it happens.
It is to the editorial page that Mr. White's statement applies more accurately.
Editorially, we will support anything we believe
will make the University of Kentucky a better
school; we will criticize, anything that stands in the
way of this.
No individual or organization will be considered
immune or privileged. We will not support a cause
simply because the Kernel has done so in the past;
neither will we criticize merely because precedent
says we should.
We will not be bound by chains reaching from
yesterday's opinions; neither will we be entirely
unmindful of the traditions which have been carefully preserved and entrusted to us.
We reserve the right of all free men the right to
change our mind, because we support something
today, does not mean that we must do so next week
or next year.
Believing that only out of disagreement can.
progress grow, we will freely evaluate, interpret,
or criticize anything that is within the scope of
and the University.
'7uls, Vn, "aliau u our iJohcy, and may we always remember that public trust is not personal
. . in the service of the
power, and that we are
in everything republic and to that public

they can't answer, a simple question, maybe this is true,

asking for information that is forgotten the second my

Only one question was left unanswered: Why
include Honors Day in the Little Derby Weekend?
Is it too. insignificant to stand alone?
We certainly don't think so.
The Sullivan Medallions are the highest honor
awarded to UK students. They recognize, the outstanding senior woman and senior man each year.
We feel that the Sullivan Medallions and the
Honors Day program are important enough to
stand alone separated from the Little Kentucky
Derby or any other University activity.
Next year's Little Derby steering committee
might take this into consideration when they plan

Keep Honors Day and the presentation of the

They deserve it.

You know Hill. I am a real genuine, nonentity on

to me you will get the same impression. At the moment,
of my greatest achievement, my Mom whispered to my
Dad that I was suffering lioni delusions of adequacy.
Em just a stupid clod liom New Jersey and the only

Icels sorry for me. And if you don't think Em soiiy just

Trailer ville, Ky.?
To the Editor:
The need for

a

trailer paik on the University of

Ken-

tucky campus is most prevalent. There are approximately
sixty trailers throughout Lexington with students living
in them.
These, students pay from $16 to $21 a month for a
small bare lot that measures about MO feet by 50 feet.
On top ol this outrageous fee. they arc required to pay
for the electricity. The parks, in most cases, are not
mainlined to any great extent. Any improvements thae

are made, are made by the tenants themselves. Then too,
many inhabitants of these, parks do not care what 'heir
lots look like, thcrcfoie any improve mc nts are somewhat
at a loss. Abo people who follow the horse races, constitution jobs, and other things, move in and out of the
p.uks keeping them in a constant state of disorder.
Some ol the I'nivcisitv olticials think that a trailer
paik would degrade the appearance ol the campus and
would compete with the new housing projects: nevertheless (!ooperstf)wn and Shawnee town already have hn;
waiting lists and Shawneetown is vet to be completed.
We feel that the University could easily construct a
p:uk on ihe.uM !.;: :n that- - ii sns.
::.: in
with c lec trie ity, public sewe rs, and water. The University's Maintenance and Opeiations Department toulil
construct the paik in a matter of a tew weeks. The students 1 have talked to aie willing to pay a nominal lee
for a pciiod of time to help pay the cost of the oiiginal
constitution. Alter this time they could pay their utilities and maintain the paik themselves.
I urge the authoiitiis
to consider these few facts.
behe se students vxould appreciate their doing so.
'I
lieve that these students' economic situations would be
gicatly improved.

If you don't choose your friends
carefully, you re liable to meet a
few faculty members. They're almost human. The old saying, faculty members should be seen and
not heard, applies only in the
classroom.
During college you meet a lot of
outstanding girls (doubly outstand
