William Primrose, noted violist,
presented an excellent concert Sunday at Memorial hall. The viola as
a solo instrument is little known;
however. Primrose demonstrated
fully the possibilities of the instrument. Throughout his concert he
displayed superb tone and technique.
His opening number, Bach's
Komm, susser tod, set the theme of
the afternoon's recital; he played
it with deep feeling and great versatility.
The climax of the program came
with the playing of the Sonata in
E fiat, opus 120. by Brahms. The
tones in this were mellow, deep and
very smooth.
In this Primrose
played his Amati instrument with
a masterly touch.
Primrose also played Schubert's

the National Invitational Basketball tournament at Madison Square

from every angle, and kept
a crowd of 16,273 fans on its feet
for almost the entire 40 minutes. In
the end the Rocky Mountain boy,
bowed to Kentucky.
Kentucky's accuracy from the foul
lines was the deciding issue as the
Wildcats made good on 10 out of 16
attempts. The best that the Utes
could do was four cut of 14. Jack
Parkinson paced the winners with
20 points, many of them scored on
hook shots, but Bob Brannum was
held out the last thirteen minutes
of the first half because he was
charged with three fouls. The big
center dropped in 11 points in the
final session after going scoreless
in the first period.

The score was
at the half.
It was tied six times and the lead
changed hands on as many occasions as the two teams battled on
erven terms through the first half.
The lead changed hands three more
times in the first five minutes of the
second period before the Wildcats
definitely took command.
Their
advantage never was a too firm one,
however, as the Utes fought back
on the great shooting of Arnold
FeVrin and Herb Wilkerson. The
final score, however, was in favor
of Kentucky, who had only been
beaten once out of eighteen games.
In an earlier quarter final, the

The kernel begins its new cpiarirr. ir is

Petty ttftlitic have brought the Student
association, the organization most affected bv the bickering anil brawling, to on of
its lowest points. If the situation isn't remedied,
the SGA may well become something in the past.
Here is the whole thing, simply and concisely.
Students have become so conscious of party Affiliations that ihey have forgotten the ttriinary

jiiirpose of SGA.

Student government is not designed, dear students, as a training ground for state oliiis.
Service in SGA is not a stepping stone to the governor's mansion or the White House.
SGA is an organization to IxikIh i lit
u paraphrase, it is government "of the
by the students, and for the smJenis."
lUit hate we realized that fact!-- Have we understood that wiih the jower given the student Imdy

We Wonder About Us
W't- - wonder if we'll eer stop tiptoeing into
this front office.
l'vcr since rVilT Amnions held sway fioui this
oM-- t sized
revolting chair, wcve felt this room
was hallowed ground he gave us that impression. Nowaihat we're "sitting in the big seat"
we still cling to the habit and enter gently and
cjiitetlv well, comparatively speaking.
We wonder if we'll ever stop feeling that we're
overstepping the bounds of journalistic practice
with all this personal opinion which is taboo in
the newsroom but essential in the editorial of-

fice.
W'e wonder if we'll ever Slop feeling like

the

of the Mohicans without Watkins and IWd-e- i
man.
But most of all we wonder if we ll ever stop
deling foolish at calling ourselves we.

And we have divided on the most ridiculous
lines imaginable. If you wear a Greek pin. you
ate a Constitutionalist; if not, you are an Inde-)nilt ni. What you liclicve, what you stand for
doesn't matter an iota. You're in the clique or
von "re out of it. Isn't that utterly foolish?
Certainlv there are good, interested jeisons in
louli patties. Why can't they get together and
make SGA something to le proud of, something
to lesjiect?
Let's forget we're Kentutkians and leave
itics out of it for a while.

govern themselves, then why not
dissolve the
SGA. and let
I imagine
the deans continue?
when students become of college
age. they are incapable of setting
rules to govern their own affairs.
As for student social affairs, the
in it what so
SGA has no say-s- o
ever. This matter is vested in "he
hands of another organization.
If the SGA is to govern anything,
then why shouldn't it be allowed to
activities
govern the recreational
and social life in which the students participate? The SGA could
decide the number of events that
would benefit the students. In this
way. it would not have three or
four events of the same nature going on at the same night. It would
diversify the events so that interest would always be kept at a high
level.

So it may be true when you said,
SGA has far more power than
it has ever had," but you failed to
explain "power" over what.

To Thr ASTP

Listen, Mr. Saunders, I too was
sent to a university only my case
was to the University of Alabama
for Air Corps C. T. D. training.
Do you think we asked for that?
Do you, a civilian, feel we're spending your money when we're ordered to a college? Nope, we're still
soldiers and eager to get to combat.. I enlisted with the hopes of
having several bombing raids to my
credit by now, but, no, I've got another month before I get my wings.
Next time before you say anyone
is not doing their part toward victory suppose you enlist, go thru 14
or 15 months training, get a few
Japs, then criticize your fellow
Americans.
