The appearance of conduits on the lawn between the Administration Building and Barker Hall is the first sign of a long- awaited area lighting system on campus. The lighting system is
estimated to cost In'tween 250 and 350 thousand dollars.
Frank D. Peterson, vice
president for business administration, raid yesterday that a contract has been let for the construction cf a 4,000 main through
the campus, which is basic to an
improvement of area lighting.

Med Center Among Top In South
By KERRY POWELL

Popitlar Professor, Queen

Joan Jameson, right, was crowned queen of the Mardl Gras dance
Saturday night by Dr. Frederick W. Whiteside, left, voted UK's
most popular professor. Miss Jameson Is a sophomore in art education from Itossville, Tenn. Dr. Whiteside Is the third consecutive
law professor to crown a Mardi Gras Queen.

Kernel Staff Writer
inUK's College of Medicine, a
fant upstart, may already be equal in quality to
the best medical schools In the South.
Dr. Robert Straus, coordinator of academic
affairs for the Medical Center, made this estimation In an interview last week as he was summing
up the progress of the Medical Center after one
semester's operation.
"The academic characteristics of our class," he
said, "are similar to those of the Midwestern medical schools, stronger than the Southern average,
and equal to the best in the South.
"I think we ran expect to be even stronger in
five years," Dr. Straus continued. "We have a strong
faculty, and as the stigma of newness wears off
we should have an even stronger student body.
"One way of measuring our success is that we
started out In September with 40 students. Now
here it is February, and we still have 40 students."
He noted that most medical schools lose apstuproximately eight percent of their first-yedents by the end of the year.

Dr. Straus, who is also chairman of the Be
havioral Science Department, said students for the
College of Medicine were carefully chosen with an
eye toward ideal results. The 40 were selected
from a field of 440 applicants.
He attributed much of the medical school's success to the "great enthusiasm" of the faculty and
students.
"It's contagious," he said. "This is one of the
mast exciting things about the school.
"The class is conscientiously devoted to its work.
The students get very little sleep; they have 33
houis of classes a week, you know. Sometimes I
find them in the center studying until 2 or 3 a.m."
Dr. Straus said he observed one student hard at
work on Christmas Eve, but added Jokingly that
such extremely rugged study habits might be undesirable.
The Medical Library, which operates 84 hours
a week and maintains study cubicles for the medical
students, was also cited by Dr. Straus as one of the
chief factors in the Medical Center's quick success.
"Our library will be the best in the South in a

Nancy Barnett, senior education major from
Somerset, reflected the general feeling of UK students about crossing at this point. "Even though we
:nay be violating Lexington ordinances prohibiting
.jaywalking, everyone will continue to do it because
n is shorter and faster than walking to the light at
Columbia and Rose Streets. "
Tolly Colgan, sophomore education major from
Anchorage, thinks that someone should take measures' to correct the hazard:
"If Lexington or University officials won't take
;iny action, sorority girls should band together and
jpaint their own crosswalk," she said.
Jan Caswell, freshman in Arts and Sciences from
rxuiville, and Jeanne Jones, senior education major
:

almost run them down several times.
"One rainy morning as a group of us were try-.'n- g

driver was scercely able to apply his brakes in time
to avoid hitting us," Miss Jones said.
"Excessive speeding seems to be the major problem," said Marianne Channell, sophomore in Arts
and Sciences from Ohio. "Drivers have a tendency
to accelerate either up or down the hill in order to
get through a green light. Surely some speed control could be enforced to save lives, regardless of
trivial traffic problems which might result," she
added.
Several students suggested means by which the
situation could be improved. Liz Conkwright, junior
speech therapy major from Winchester, said that
speed zone signs could be set up between 8:00 a.m.
and 4:00 p.m. "Grade schools have them, why
can't we?" she said.
Jerry Davidson, sophomore in Arts and Sciences
from Highland Heights, suggested either a caution
light or a crosswalk in the area. "If such a measure
would violate any law or policy, such a low or policy
should be revised," he said. "A policy of this type
that ignores the needs of the public shows backward
thinking; every rule has its exception," he added.
Johnny Cole, freshman in Commerce from Lexington, said that a policewoman to direct traffic
might be a possible solution. "If she were a young
blonde about
the traffic would be sure to
stop,", he added.
Another freshman in Commerce, Ken Bocard,
from Ashland, felt so strongly about the existing
situation that he volunteered to stage an accident
to show what could happen. With the aid of friends
he did, but the results were negative and no solution has yet been found.

Gold Digger's Ball A Tender Trap
Piggy banks are bursting out
all over, overstuffed socks are
finding their way into the light
matof day from underneath
tresses and out of shoe boxes.
Everywhere females are busy collecting monetary ammunition.
Picks and shovels in hand, even
the nicest girls are turning into
the most devilish creatures gold
diggers.
It all began four years ago
when It was decided that the
women on this campus should be
permitted to perform out in the
open once a year. In attempting j
to legalize the female inclination
to trap a male, the institution of
the Gold Digger's Ball was estab- lished, amid thunderous applause
from the males.
Why such acceptance on the
part of the opposition for an idea
reeking with support of male slav- ery? On this annual occasion, it
is the prerogative of the females
to assume the role of the pursuers
overtly. The lucky males receiv- -,
lng coveted invitations are wined
and dined extravagantly,
and
flowered imaginatively. Each girl
is to make her date an "original"
corsage. Trophies are to be given
for the winners as Judged by the
chaperones.
Participants must also be familiar with the rules of the game.
The women must drive the car
and pay for the fuel all necessary varieties of said. Similarly,

are reversed. The women must
assist their dates in putting on
and removing their coats, car
doors must be opened for the
male guests, and the men must
be asked politely if they would

care to dance. Furthermore, stepping on the toes of a male date
on this occasion is definitely
taboo.
The ball will take place appropriately enough in the "Gold
Rush 1961" setting. The king candidates will be pictured as "wanted
criminals." Bags of gold nuggets
will be strategically placed about
the ballroom. Dance hall girls will
escort the king and his two attendants. The center of attraction
will be a Jail where the "most
wanted man" will be crowned.

Couples will cast their votes at
the ball to be held from 8 p.m.
until midnight this : Friday, in
the SUB Ballroom. The king candidates will be presented at the
half-tim- e
of the Vanderbilt basketball game, this evening. Winners will be presented gold trophies.
The ball is sponsored by the
Student Union Board Social Committee. Tickets are on sale from
11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the SUB
ticket booth.

Unsatisfactory Compromise
The new plan for dealing with

the University's physical education
recently approved by
is a compromise an
one at that.
unsatisfactory
In providing for screening tests
for physical fitness, sports achievement, and swimming ability to determine if freshmen may be exempted
from one or both semesters of physical education, the Faculty has come
up with an unrealistic plan that fails
to consider the two basic complaints
against the physical education programthe limitations of the Physical
Education Department and the
of physical education classes.
The same lack of instructors and
facilities that make it impossible for
the Physical Education Department
to place all freshmen in physical education classes will work against the
screening plan. It is difficult to
imagine the Physical Education Department trying to give fair, comprehensive tests to the thousands of
new students who enter the University each fall.
To guarantee accuracy, the tests
will almost have to be individually
administered and tests to measure
all of the many things the Faculty
plan includes could not be a five-o- r
affair. Such tests
even
would severely strain the abilities
and capabilities of the Physical Education Department and would certainly crowd the already overcrowded first weeks' of school for new
students.
Nowhere is there apparent in the
plan any promise or implication that
requirement,

the Facutly,

fruit-lessne-

.

the present physical education cur
riculum will be improved and varied
so as to present the students who will
still have to take physical education
with courses that will actually improve their physical state.
It is possible for a student to
take fencing and ballroom dancing
his first semester here, rest for seven
semesters, then take social recreation and golf and have fulfilled his
requirement. How it will have made
him "physically fit for the professions," as Dr. Don Cash Seaton, head
of ' the Physical Education Department has said, is difficult to conceive.
What is needed at UK, if it is
going to require physical education,
is a program like one we know of
at a high school in a suburb of Chicago, instead of the scheduled
which the University now offers. At that high school, one cannot
graduate without having earned a
Red Cross senior life saving certificate, and having completed satisfactorily the Red Cross standard first
aid course. These requisites are part
of the school's physical education
program, which also stresses the one
truly beneficial physical education
activity exercise, or calisthenics, as
physical educators prefer to call it.
the planners of
Unfortunately,
UK's program do not seem to think
a
effort to assure that
muscles which need exercise get it
is necessary; a haphazard method,
such as ballroom dancing, will do.
And, more unfortunate, the Faculty
hasn't seen fit to act to correct the
situation.

SEATO Was Never Healthier
Jim Becker, chief of the Associated Press bureau in Manila, cables
that the Philippine government
"thinks SEATO has collapsed and is
ready to write it off as an effective
force in Asia." The
reason, according to Foreign Secretary Felixberto Serrano, is that the
