Alumni Club Plants Seeds
For UK's Big Weekend
By BUD GRIGSBY
Kernel Staff Writer

The year was 19)7, and the
event was the founding of the
Little Kentucky Derby, one of
UK's biggest weekends.
The seeds for LKD were first

uwn by a group called the Student Alumni Club, which served
graduating seniors by providing

about Alumni Proinformation
gram.
David Noyes, a student and a
member of the club, was the
source of the idea. The club was
in search of a program in which
all students could participate
and at the same time gain
knowledge of the Alumni Program.
Noyes idea was based upon the
Indiana University program, the
Little 500 which was a
bicycle endurance race for fraternities and men's dormitory
groups.
The IU program, patterned after
the famous Indianapolis 500 car
race, promoted a scholarship program through a student alumni
group.
Such a program as that at IU
was exactly what the UK group
wanted, and a natural title was
the Little Kentucky Derby.
September of 1956 marked the
elections of the first LKD officers, and the following spring,
the first derby took place. Although
the derby grossed only $4,614 and
presented only $200 in scholarships, it was a beginning and
from this, LKD began to grow.
The first derby was under the
control of a faculty board; however, it was decided in the fall of
1957 that LKD would be under
an
management.
The student committee was to
be assisted by an advisory committee of faculty and administrative staff members.
The present cochairmen of the
advisory committee is Dr. Kenneth
Harper, assistant dean of men, and
Miss Pat Patterson, assistant to
the dean of women.

in the Debutante Stakes and 20
girls remain in the Queen contest.
The Debutante Stakes, a race for
women on tricycles, covers a distance of 300 feet. Each team has
four women who ride 75 feet each.
Seven preliminary
races, or
preps, are planned for the Debutante Stakes. The six fastest teams
will complete in the final race.
The Rejects, a local group, will
play the music for a street dance
in front of the Coliseum at about
10:30 p.m.
At 10 a.m. tomorrow morning
several turtles will be racing in
front of the SUB. The Turtle Derby is sponsored by the Student
Union Board.
Three events, a walking race, a
flag contest, and the Little Ken
tucky Derby (a bicycle race), will
be held tomorrow afternoon at the
Sports Center. Post time is 2 p.m.
Each of the 41 teams entered in
the derby will display a flag based
on the theme of Kentucky. Prizes
will be awarded for the best flags.
The track for the Little Kenof a
tucky Derby is
mile. Each team, with five men,
rides 10 laps for the derby prep.
In the final race, each team rides
15 laps or three-fourtof a mile
for each man.
The Four Preps concert at 8:30
p.m. in Memorial Coliseum will climax the two day weekend which
is advertised as "America's Most
Spectacular Weekend."
Jack Lorrie, radio announcer for

WLAP, will emcee the program.
The Jazz Central Quintet from
Cincinnati will supply the background music.

Currently, the Four Preps are
noted for their latest album, "Campus Encores," in which they sing
"The Big Draft Medley." In years
past, the Four Preps have had
singles titled, "26 Miles,"
"Big Man," and "Down by the
Station."
In the past six years, Ralph
Flannigan, the Four Freshmen,
Louis Armstrong, Dave Brubeck,
Earl Bostic, Ted Brown, and
George Shearing have appeared
on the LKD concert program.
The weekend, started in 1956 by
a member of the Student-AlumClub, was modeled after Indiana's
Little 500. The Little 500 was taken
from the Indianapolis 500.
Linda Woodall, a Kappa Kappa
Gamma, was named last year's
LKD queen. The queen is the University's entry in the Miss Kentucky Pageant. Kappa Delta won
the Debutante Stakes in 1961 and
the men of Sigma Alpha Epsilon
won the Little Kentucky Derby
bicycle race in both 1960 and 1961.
"Ticket sales for Saturday
night's concert are going fairly
well," reports John Banta. "We've
sold over $2,500 in conceit tickets
so far."
The profits from the LKD
weekend go for scholarships. Applications should be made at the
office of the dean of women before May 4. The only require
ment is to be a full time student. Last year ei$ht $'!00 scholarships were given.
The LKD committee consists of
Norman Harned, chairman; Myra
Tobin, enchairman; Trudy Webb,
treasurer; Charlotte Noffsinger,
secretary; Bob Carpenter, financial
sponsors; Jack Isaacs, Saturday
afternoon program; Patty Pringle,
Friday night propram; and Carolyn Reid. publicity.
Dr. Kenneth Harper, assistant
dean of men, and Miss Pat Patterson, assistant to the dean of
women are coudvisers.

Machines And Culture

A Yale professor believes that our
Western culture is driven today by
technical reason rather than the former ntopia or revolutionary reason
of the past.
He feels that we have some defense against the charges that we lack
cultural interests. People are enjoying some of the better painting,
drama, and literature. There is a
need, however, for educational institutions to revive humanistic and liberal ideas in this age of mechanization.
We tend to be unaware of the
technical cultu-oecause too much
emphasis is p!.ccd on the mechanisms

Don'l Be

of modern society. Technical reason
serves only to gain technical ends in
wealth, exchange, and production.
Reason has become a victim of the
ends of society; man has become a
tool to mechanization.
One possible solution is to revive
liberal and humanistic ideas. Individuals need to appraise what is
humane. They need to evaluate their
work to give it historical significance.
There is a culture even in our world
of automation and missiles; however,
to develop this culture, the people
must give it a value. They must think
as men rather than machines.

Secoiul-Hander-

Quit being second banders!
A second bander is one who lives
through and by the opinions of others.
His image is a reflection of other
people's concept of what he should
be. He lives for what others think
of him, not what he himself thinks
is important, for this might be considered foolish. He is what the group
demands of him and afraid to do what
he really wants.
A second bander has little or no
self respect; thus, he must gain the
respect of his companions. He seeks
from others what he is incapable of
possessing because of his dictated
code of life.
If a person should diligently try
to create something of great significance to himself, he would most likely
be criticized for being selfish; that is,
to take credit for doing something
by himself.
The common movement today, especially on this campus, is for group
action in every little happening. Even
if it should be planning a meeting
for people with a common interest,
this has to be coordinated with several advisers as to the ideas submitted and speaker chosen.
The ideas of a truly creative person are so altered by the time the
committee, group, or panel has fin

s

ished revising and adding the original
plan is not recognizable.
What incentives do people have to
make something really good when
others of lesser ability are allowed to
improve on that which they know
little about? Hut this way no one
feels slighted, because they all have
contributed to the forming of their
image in the eyes of their contemporaries.
Children are told from early grade
school to quit being too particular
about their work. It should be good,
but don't get too upset so long as it
pleases the teacher. This continues
into college.
Students should be worried if their
work does not portray their real
thoughts or is not the best they could
produce. Instead, the usual idea is
appease the instructor and pass that's
all. Many times it's a joke if one
does poorly; just go drink beer and
forget it.
If people would stop worrying so
much about how many committee
meetings they attend, what organizations they belong to that look good,
or what their associates think of their
ideas, maybe then they would be
and
capable of

Campus Parable
By RABBI ROBERT ROTH MAN
A little child and his mother lived
on the side of a mountain. She had

lost her husband some time ago and
was trying to eke out a living to
support them lx)th.
One day, as is customary with
most children, her son became a little
too annoying and difficult to handle.
Losing her patience, the mother
promptly rebuked him convincingly
through firm slaps on parts of the
anatomy usually reserved for such
punitive measures.
The child was indignant and most
angry. Tearfully he walked to the
edge, of a near-bpercipice and
shouted to the world, "I hate you, I
hate you." His voice traveled down
the side of the mountain, over the
valley, up the other side and ampli
y

fied many times, bellowed back at
him, "I hate you, I hate you." The
little boy was frightened and rushed
back to his mother's arms crying that
someone on the other mountain loudly
hates him.
The mother took her little child
back to the side of the mountain
and told him to shout, "I love you,
I love you." He looked puzzled but
did as she requested. And his voice
traveled down the side of the mountain, into the valley, across the valley, up the other side of the mountain, and amplified many times, called
back strongly and loudly, "I love
you, I love you."
"You see, my son," said the mother,
as she wiped his tears from his eyes,"
this is the law of life. What you give,
you get."

THE READERS' FORUM
Questions Expenditure

To The Kditor:
Mr. Donahue's comments in today's (Thursday, April 26) Kcnul
concerning the school's purchase of
frills at a time when laboratory equipment is direly needed is most pertinent. May I add that his department (Psychology) shares this situation with almost all others. The
Fhysics Department is another sad
example. A historic parallel is the
purchase by Southern ladies (and
gentlemen), during the Civil War, of
Paris fashions at a time whei the
Confederacy was almost destitute.
Another strange practice of the
University is the commissioning of
architects to design its new buildings
when the University possesses a very
good school of architecture. It would
seem that an architectural student
working on his senior projects might
as well be working on plans for the
new University buildings. After all,
in a very few months, the student
would receive a diploma which implies that he is competent to design
for someone else.
Back to the subject of laboratories.
When laboratory equipment is scarce
andor defective, not only is the student demoralized, but also the in

structor. This is apparent in the organization of UK laboratory instruction.
There is no point in giving a student a lab manual and a few pieces
of equipment and notluni else! A lab
should posse-- . a certain coordination
with the accompanying course.
An experiment should pertain to
the subject matter being taught at
that particular time not something
taught a month ago; or worse yet,
something that will not be covered
until a month in the future.
Some laboratories (and lab manuals) do not draw attention to the
Few
subject being demonstrated.
labs include a lecture andor discussion of the experiment to be performed.
I am sure that Mr. Donahoe will
agree with me that the University
needs objects of art as an integral
part of every student's education, but
I must agree with him: First things
first!
When we have plentiful equipment, and adequate instructors, then
let's buy black granite and concrete
boomerangs and wading pools.
Parting shot: Is this why tuition
costs are to be raised?

The states that, prior to the May,

ents live on reservations are provided
with education free of charge by the
federal government. That policy may
continue as long as reservation Indians have a status differing from
that of Indians who have chosen independence. But the means of education can be changed without altering
the method of support. The federal
government could reimburse local
school districts for reservation pupils
just as it reimburses local school districts for additional costs imposed by
the children of the "impact" areas of
federal projects.
