Kernel Kiltie
The recent warm weather allows the Kernel Kutie sittings to move
bark outdoors. This week's Kutie is Charlene Srheibel of Louisville.
Charlene is a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences and is a
member of Kappa Delta sorority.

The first annual Arts and Sciences Exposition begins today, with
a crowd of over 5.000 persons expected to invade the campus during the two-da- y
affair. The Exposition will give the inside view
of the many departments of the
college and provide information to
prospective students.
Nearly MOO .invitations were
sent out to high schools, IT A
groups and alumni in the state,
according to Robert Royer, coordinator of the exposition, and
laboratory manager of the Chemistry Department) "
Visitors to the campus will find
a carefully worked out program
operating in three categories.

Decision-Hou-

sn

r

Wears For SGA
The Styulcnt Government Association election,
J)el1 each fall, is once more approaching, and already onr fledgling politicians are lcginning to fill
the air with campaign promises and ringing phrases
telling of better things to come.
There have been a few changes since the election
last Spring.
To begin with, the United Students Party is dead.
Once the most powerful group in SGA, the USP
quietly folded up its tent and stole away after last
Spring's election, in which the party only won four
seats, while the
Students Tarty
was sweeping eleven.
Also, the election this year is on Friday. Which,
front the point of view of all concerned, is the worse
possible day.
SGA, in deciding on Friday, used the line of
reasoning that this was the day which would allow
more students to participate in the election, because of other activities scheduled throughout the
Week. They also decided that publicity was definitely of secondary importance.
This would be very admirable if it were true.
But what the Assembly failed to take into account
is the many students who arc tired of anything connected with the campus by the weekend and head
for "greener pastures" as soon as their last class is
over.
What the Assembly knew, but apparently didn't
consider noteworthy, is that by holding the election
on Friday, the date the Kernel is published, it could
conceivably be a full week before many persons
know the outcome of the voting. JFor an organization which definitely has suffered from lack of student enthusiasm, this move hardly could be classi''
fied as brilliant.
But this all may be digression. The election is
Hearing, and once again the' biggest problems are
the students' apathy, and the fact that everyone
knows SGA, up to this point anyway, has never
been noted for its power.
Tin's year one of the issues on which students will
be asked to vote is the passage, of a revised constitution. Included in this constitution is a sentence
which says "the function of the Student Government Association is to act as the responsible
authority in relations pertaining to students and affecting student organizations."
We don't know how all the members of SGA interpret this statement. But to us, any person, or
organization, who is the responsible authority pretty
well runs the show.
If this is the case, we hope the constitution
passes. And if it passes, we hope SGA interprets, it
the way we da, and doesn't fust cast it aside as some
n
words that really don't mean much.
Actually, we, aln& with many of our fellow
students, have often wondered just what purpose
SGA served. Too often they have proved themselves to be a hollow shell with a very tightly restricted orbit of power,
. This situation will, we hope, be somewhat alleviated by the revised constitution. We reiterate
our hope that it will be interpreted literally. By
Assembly members and faculty.
As for the parties themselves, it seems to us that
the term "party" as applied to the Student Government Association does not carry the same connotation as does the term when used to designate groups
competing in a national election.
It 'would be very hard to walk into an SCA meeting and determine what party a representative belonged to, simply by observing, since each Assembly
member tends to represent his own interest group,
or the college in which he is enrolled, to the exclusion of his party.
But nevertheless there are parties and there arc
platforrns. The Students . Party, organized last
Spring, entered the campaigning wars with a vengeance and managed to get eleven of its candidates
elected to SGA.
This fall, the Students Party again appears to be
the more forward looking party of the two. Although, the fact that they had, as of Wednesday
night, been able to muster only seven candidates
for the ten available seats, may be an indication
that some of their Spring ardor has begun to cool.

Letters From The Readers
Independent Needs
To the Editor:
the near necessity of becoming a.
member of a fraternity or sorority becomes more
real to the UK student. Those who choose to remain Independents are faced with the problem of
being almost completely unaffiliated with their university.
Activities seem to be tightly limited to those who
are not members of a Greek organization. On campus, there are parties, dances, teas, and all sorts of
activities open only to those who are Greeks. The
Independent struggles through trying to belong to
the many activities relative to college life, but on
such a predominate Greek campus, he finds that he
is fighting a losing battle.
A solution for the Independents would be to
organize. By becoming a group, the Independents
could run candidates in various, campus elections,
sponsor events corresponding to those which are
sponsored by the Greeks, and enter more into campus activities.
An organized Independents Club could mean enlightenment for many students at UK who want
so much" to be active in school affairs, but. are
handicapped due to lack of affiliation with a sorority or fraternity.

Nevertheless, the Students Party appears to have
approached the problem of student issues from a
more realistic, concrete stand point.
In short, they stand for something. For this reason, the Kernel endorses the Students Party and its
platform.
Their proposal for liberalization of University
restrictions on political speeches is, we think, a
point well worth considering.
We, too, think the campus needs a humor magazine; we wholelveartedly concur that SGA should
bring a big name band on campus for Homecoming;
and we, naturally, agree with the idea of a night
Grill.
Also, we think the formation of a veterans' committee within SGA would substantially aid the

To the Editor:
Have you seen those dirty, disgraceful, dismal
flags in the Coliseum? Now being embarrassed by having the President
of the United States see this disgrace wasn't so bad,
and I could tolerate the musicians from Vienna seeing it, but letting at least 24,000 fellow Americans
within three days see this outlandish, freakish con;
dition was just too much.
The emblem of this great place called America
is soiled, dirty, dull, wrinkled, and is everything
but torn and if it hangs much longer, it'll be that,
too. We pay M&O to cut the trees, haul off the
when no one is lookwood, and play murhble-pe- g
e
on the caming, but do we get the worst
pus removed? No.
We all know money is a scarce item around here
and therefore mighty precious. But so is patriotism.
When you stand up and face the flag to the strains
of the National Anthem, don't you want something
.clean at which to look?
When I look at the flag and begin to thank God
for this great America, and all it stands for, I want
something clean at which to look. Can't someone
please put a little pressure on some official somewhere, so that this situation may be remedied?

NoMore Cooks
To the Editor:
Fifty years ago, women delighted in their reputation as cooks.
But today the ladies I know would feel insulted-i- f
anyone called them a cook. They might be proud
of being (1) a good card player, (2) a good conversationalist, (3) a good club worker, (4) a good
mother, (5) a good neighbor, (6) or a dozen other
things.
But the woman of today who would be proud of
the title of being a good cook would be the exception and not the rule.
To my way of thinking, this is unfortunate, for a
woman can come more nearly being an ideal woman l)y being a good cook than any other way.

University's many veterans.

The Constitutionalist platform reminds us of
some of the planks of the Republican and Democratic parties during the last election very high
sounding, but just a trifle vague.
We like the Students Party because we think it
just might be the means by which life can be injected into an organization which at times has appeared to be gasping its last.
