Engineer Exams
Arc To Be Given
The 60 civil engineers who have
highway scholarships will have a
chance to advance their ratings by
taking tests being given Saturday in
Anderson Hall.
High school seniors who receive
scholarships work with the highway
department as chainmen the summer before they enter college.
Tests are given each year so that
they may advance their rating if
they desire to do so. As they advance in rating, they also receive a
higher salary. The students who
are now freshmen take the rodman's
exam, the sophomores take the
exam, and the juniors tiy
for the instrument man position.
The levelman's and instrumentation examinations will be given
from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday
in Room 209 of Anderson Hall.
Prof. R. E. Shaver, head of the
civil engineering department, said
that the highway department will
also employ a limited number 'A
civil engineers who are not on highway scholarships. Those interested
should turn their applications in to
Prof. Shaver some time today.

Some Won't Cooperate
"We've found that some of the
older students just don't want to
cooperate." Faulkner replied to the
opposition. When asked how Suky's
plan would be enforced, he answer- ed that all freshmen would probably
be required to buy beanies at regis- tration, provided that A. D. Kirwan,
dean of men, and Bernie Shively,
athletic director, agree.
A penalty for freshmen who re- fuse to wear beanies is being con- sidered by Suky. Faulkner said. One
other feature of the plan, he added.
would be to have all freshmen
women wear scarves.
After new members of the As- sembly, including the president and

following officers were- elected Jim

Outgoing president George Law- son congratulated outgoing SGA

hope that "new members will carry

John Redden, outgoing head of

Redden explained that there is a
rule which forbids fre.shmen to have
cars on the campus, and that sev- eral students have already been
fined $10 each for violations. He
added that another $10 fine would
be added for each repetition of the
violation.

To Study College Night
Another committee of three was
appointed to Investigate the advi.sa- bility of appropriating funds for the

Student Union Board, and the YM- YWCA.

Ann O'Roark, who made the sug- gestion. proposed that funds be
ued to improve the program, which
includes a carnival and dance. She
also suggested that the affair be
held on Sept. 18. during freshman
orientation week,
A "coffee

punch and cookies, was held after
the meeting, in order to let new
and old members acquaint themselves and discuss future tasks and
problems of SGA.

The Frying Pan

Should Freshmen Be Forced
To Wear Beanies Next Fall?
At the request of Suky. the Student Government

Association voted this week to accept the resolution
to let Suky go ahead with plans to have freshmen
next year. John Faulkner, president
wear
of Suky. told the Assembly such a plan would raise
the school spirit ol the University. We douht the
validity of this statement.
Several things should lie considered in deciding
whether or not fresh-irshould ! forced to wear
lxMiiies. I low will they accept them? Ixit of students would enjoy wearing Ix'anies. but others
s

There 's No Point
Fining Freshmen
Now For Cars
Harsh action is now
taken against freshmen
w ho have cars here at UK. Such students are being
fined ten dollars apiece, but ample warnings were
given
the fines were levied.
At the lieginning of each semester, freshmen are
told they are not allowed to have automobiles while
a freshman at the University. The judicial committee of the Student Government Association last
month sent letters to freshmen known to have cars
here. The letter stated that "by bringing an automobile to the campus while leing classified as a
freshman you are placed in the position of violating
this rule. The judicial committee is recommending
to the Dean of Students that any freshman who has
an automobile after April 10, 1953, will be dealt
with severely." The committee sent this letter last
month in hojie that freshmen having cars would
take tlein home over the Easter holidays and leave
them.
Dean A. D. Kirwan explained this week that the
ruling against freshmen having cars is a long standing rule of the University, lie said one reason for
the ruling is
of the lack of parking places
on campus. Freshmen live in the dormitories, he
said, and so don't need cars.
From the academic point of view. Dean Kirwan
said, it is bad for freshmen to have cars. It is the
first time many of them have leen away from home
and on their own. ami cars can ye a great temptation for them to forget alxnit the things they came
to I K to do. he said.
Dean Kirwan explained that the judicial committee found that many freshmen were disregarding
the rule and that something had to be done. They
voted a couple of weeks ago to place a ten dollar
fine on such students.
We realize that for any organization or structure
such as a university to function correctly, rules must
le laid dow n and enforced. But we think it is too
late in the year to begin fining freshmen for having
cars in their possession. It will not do any good.
It is too near the end of the semester for a student to take his car home, since he wants to keep
it to carry his
home when school is out.
Fear of being fined ten dollars will probably not
cause students to take their car home at this time
of the semester.
Fining this year's freshmen will have no effect
on next year's freshmen. The time to begin enforcing the rule is next fall.
lx-in-

Ixt-aus-

might Ix sensitive about it. Instead of producing
school spirit in students, they might feel they are
Inking made fun of or leing ridiculed.
Faulkner said Suky will plan some type of penalty for freshmen not wearing leanies. If a student
doesn't want to wear a beanie, be sliould not
to do so. When a student pledges to a
fraternity or sorority, tliey expect to go through
some type of hazing. They ask for it by pledging.
But when a student enrolls at UK, he is doing so
to get an education and is not asking to le hazed
or mocked.
It is apparent that some freshmen will not want
to wear beanies, and so how will Suky discriminate between who will wear them and who won't
wear them. The line is not easily dranw. There
are about 210 Korean veterans on campus now, and
there probably will be more next fall. Some of them
will le married and have kids. Wearning beanies
will surely seem foolish to them.
What alxnit freshman foreign students? Are they
going to lx forced to wear beanies? This would
not make a very good impression on them.
Faulkner said he intends to talk with Bernie
Shively and Dean A. D. Kirwan to see if it can le
made compulsory that freshmen buy beanies as
they go through registration next fall. If the Administration approves the idea of forcing freshmen
to wear beanies, then they have no room to criticize the hazing and hell week carried on by fraternities. If UK returns to beanies, then fraternities
should replace help week with hell week.
We compliment Suky on their attempt to raise
the school spirit at UK, because it is needed. But
we disagree with the plan to have freshmen wear
beanies. It's true that such an idea if put in effect
would set freshmen apart from the other students,
but will this raise school spirit?
Until a few years ago, freshmen wore beanies. If

University of Toronto senior has decided not
to bother with his final exams and says that a university degree is not worth the paper it is printed
on. The student, in a letter of defiiance printed in
The Varsity, student newspaper, blasts the administration, the teachers, and the students.
"The administration talks in terms of dollars, the
teachers in terms of marks, and the students in
terms of sex," he says. As for the examination system, it "draws these three groups together and
proves that the process of learning consists of a bad
speaker divulging a lot of dull facts to a group of

in a Southern University. We rhythmically jerked
our giant sized brushes in place.

three's company A, were nervous.
"Brush, Arms!" Our brushes tapped the floor
softly. Only ten minutes Ix'fore, I had been inspecting my art pharphenalia for final correction.
We knew the penalty. Fiften days in jail looking
at modern paintings. Some had returned blinded
from the ordeal..
