Exposed Knees Knock
37 Girls From School
Brent- Brentwood, N. Y., (AP)
Hinh School officials have
cracked down on girls' exposed,
knees, with 37 students being sushemlines.

Warnings didn't fvvm to do any

High Mhool vlcf prinripal Harvey S. Hritkman said last night
that he had received phone rails
from a few irate mothers. "Hut
In general," he added, "nearly all
t lie parents are with us."
Brickman noted that the suspended girls don't have a leg to
rulstand on. since a skirt-lenging was drafted la.--t spring with
the aid of the student council, and
the decision appears in the student handbook. The handbook
states that skirts go no higher than
wood

mid-kne-

Many fashion experts say the
current style puts hemlines Just
below the kneecap. A few fashion
houses draw the line at mid-kneand no higher.
Said Brickman:
"Of course,
many mothers look over their
daughters before they leave for
school, and their hemline lengths
are all right. But tome girls, after
they get to school, rool up their
skirts at the waist which, of
course, makes them that much
shorter."
When the "roll-up- "
girls are
disciplined by their teachers,

Brickman said, "by the time they
get to the office the skirts are
down."
Concerning the record number
of suspensions, Brickman
said
teachers have been warning the
girls since the beginning of the school term in this
Long Island community.

The first of four world population lectures will be given by a man
who has spent his life studying the
census and population trends.
Dr. Philip Hauser, head of the
Department of Sociology at the
University of Chicago, will speak
on "World Population Perspectives"
at 7 o'clock tonight at the Taylor
Education Building Auditorium.
The sociologist is speaking in
conjunction with the lecture series
on the "World Population Situation and Its Implications" sponsored by the Patterson School of
Diplomacy and International Commerce, the College of Commerce,
and the Department of Sociology
with the assistance of Phi Beta
Kappa.
Other lectures In the series will
be Dec. 7 and 12 and Jan. 5.
As acting director of the U.S.
Bureau of the Census, Dr. Hauser
is mainly responsible for the recent thorough polling. He has
studied and worked with the census as assistant chief statistician
of population and as assistant
and deputy director of the
bureau.
Dr. Max Wasserman of the Patterson School of Diplomacy, who
worked with Dr. Hauser In Washington, D.C., feels that the secret
of his success is his sheer ability.
"He is so capable," Dr. Wasser- man said, "that he can afford to
be nice to everyone without stepping on them or pulling political
strings."
The department head's most re- -

cent article appeared In the Nov.
10 issue of Look magazine.
Among his books are "Population Perspectives," "Population and
World Politics," "Government Statistics for Business Use," and
"Workers on Relief in the United
States."

With the radio units, a fire
could be discovered and the shortwave station notified, which in
turn would notify the Fire Department in less than one minute.
The Campus Police now have
two mobile units and one auxiliary
unit. However, Lilly said they hope
to extend the number of units in
the near future.
Chief Clerk Lilly added, "The
unit also has the Conelrad band
and receives Civil Defense signals
immediately."
The system, which can be expanded to 30 units, will be extended to Maintenance trucks to eliminate the drivers having to either
call or return to the Maintenance
Building for new assignments.
Lilly feels this will save a great
deal of time and expense.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.. Nov. 30 (AP) Over
Western objections, the U.N. Political Committee
today called for action to organize a "non-nucleclub" of nations pledged not to acquire, build or
stockpile atomic or hydrogen bombs.
The United States and mast of its North Atlantic allies voted against the move for fear it
might affect NATO's nuclear defenses against
Soviet attack.
The resolution spearheaded by Sweden with
Soviet and neutralist backing, was passed by a
with 32 abstentions. This assures
vote of
ratification by the General Assembly later.

Demonstrations Cost Life
SANTO DOMINGO,, Dominican Republic, Nov.
30 (AP)( Violent demonstrations
against President Joaquin Balaguer's government cost a youth's
life today as tank supported troops and police
hurled tear gas and noise bombs to break up the
mob that surged right up to the gates of the national palace.
The rioting was the worst yet of the three-da- y
strike. Crowds poured into the streets when a
rumor spread that Balaguer had resigned. The
palace denied the report.

Celehrates

Sir Winston Churchill,
blinking back tears of emotion, celebrated his 87th
birthday today with his family and in the affection
of the parliament he roused to fighting fervor
during World War II.
The old warrior fortified himself with a luncheon of oysters, a big cigar and nips from a bottle
of fine old brandy, piesented by Prime Minister
Macmillan, before going to parliament for the
welcoming cheers of his colleagues.
Everyone forgot the rules even the public
gallery erupted in applause. Deeply moved by the
tributes from all sides of the house, the old man
rose slowly to his feet and said simply:
"I am very grateful to the House."

Formals, Game Fill Weekend

all the excitement of
Homecoming and Thanksgiving,
this weekend is a bit of an anticlimax, but everyone is making a
brave attempt to keep things going.

each little sister was presented
with a white rose.
This is the season for formal

dances and the Delta Zetas are

at Tates Creek Country Club.
The Holiday Inn will be the
scene of the Phi Gamma Delta's

NEW YORK (AP)
No
how the wind blows in the Berlin
crisis. American men will be in
military clothes, if heberdashery
designer Robert Beach has anything to do with it.
Men have never really gotten out
of them anyway, he claims. Beach
discounts any suggestion that a
former soldier or sailor might be
tired of or psychologically depressed by khaki, olive drab, or navy
blue. Indeed, using these colors, he
is designing a line of suburban
clothes based on those created by
Uncle Sam's tailor.
"I live in the suburbs and all
the men I know out there fish or
work in their yards in khakis,
sometimes with the pants cut off
at the knees," Beach claims. "Or
they wear military Jackets hunting
or sailing."
Because from 10 to 20 years have
passed since many American men
were issued their last government
wardrobe, Beach figured some
items surely must have worn out
enough to need replacing. (He is
also influenced by the number of
American travelers who buy' mili- tary looking men's wear in Europe.)
Thus Beach's suburban clothes
in poplins and chino cloth have
plenty of epaulets, straps, knit
belts and slide buckles for realism.
The line Is already extremely successful. Beach claims, except for
one item.
Because men seemed to like
them for boating, Beach faithfully
copied a navy blue chief petty officer's Jacket. But competition
from Army and Navy surplus
stores was too keen.

A Slop Backward
The List six years have hern revoit University.
lutionary years for
Our former fame as "Country Club
of tlie South" has slipped and given
way to a
reputation that
ranks us among the scholastically
elite universities of the Southeastern
Conference.
But now, enter, the Lexington
Quarterback Club. That
football-lovingroup of alumni
is clamoring for UK to take an academic nose dive back into the
"Country Club" days.
The memlxTS of the Quarterback
Club clearly realize that many top
football prospects are not
in the upper 50 percent of their high
school graduating classes, as the UK
admission standard now requires. And
they have a simple remedy for that
painful situation. Lower the requirements.
The Quarterback Club does not
venture to suggest how requirements
should be lowered its members
simply urge the University to put
the Wildcats in a competitive position
with other teams in the conference.
But sports writers in the state
seem ready to pick up the battle
where even the Quarterback Club
fears to tread. A Louisville scribe
wrote that "speculators" were saying
each Board of Trustees member might
be empowered to "appoint" one
student to UK, regardless of
admission rules. Or, should that proposal fail, each state senator could
hard-earne- d

g

be allowed to appoint one student.
The biased news story of a Lexington Leader reporter quoted a
Quarterback Club manifesto as saying, "There are at least seven boys
turned down by the University of
Kentucky (every year) for scholastic
reasons." Then the reporter scribbled
this lucidly prophetic comment:
"Although the Quarterback Club
didn't say it, if the University continues to lose seven top prospects a
year the number would equal 21 every
three years."
Bluntly, we cannot endorse the
Quarterback Club's request for lowered admission requirements.
We
have come to the conclusion that the
University's purpose must be to
produce educated men and women,
rather than to turn out nationally
ranked football teams. If good education and good teams are in conflict
and one must go, without doubt a fast
farewell should be bid to good teams.
Nor can we favor the undemocratic method of appointing unqualified students to the University. If admission requirements are relaxed for
one or two, they should be relaxed
for all.
We would go one step further. Admission requirements for Kentucky
students should also be raised. The
University can never become the
quality institution it hopes to be as
long as straight-- high school students
are given blanket approval to go on
a year's lark at the state University.

Parade, Or Procession?
Thousands of spectators lined Lexington streets Saturday along the
Homecoming parade route. They saw
queen candidates riding in convertibles and cleverly constructed floats
components of UK's first Homecoming parade in several years.
The parade could have flashed,
sparkled, and glittered like most
homecoming parades, but, instead, it
crept stealthily through downtown
Lexington like, a funeral procession.
The parade, in our opinion, was ineffective because it lacked the vigor
and vitality that bands provide.
We understand the Marching 100
at the time, was practicing for its
at the Homecoming
performance
Game. The group must practice to be

in good form for their performances,
but bands at other schools find time
to participate in both a parade and
e
a
program. Perhaps the
Thanksgiving holiday interrupted the
band's normal preparation schedule.
One band would have made a
great difference, but it still would
not have supplied the lift the parade
so badly needed. Some schools invite
other bands, usually from high
schools, to participate in parades.
Next year, we hope to see another
Homecoming parade, this time with
queens, floats, and several bands. We
hope, too, it will have vitality, vigor,
and zest and will not drag so silently
and unobtrusively as did this year's
Homecoming parade.

To The Editor:
The things one learns through

or lack of it, in UK athletics. We

all thought of easy victory and

Small failures often grow out of
proportion in our minds and cause
us to forget the real reason we are
in college.

The "thanks" of Thanksgiving is
missing for many students because it
comes right after
grades
are posted.
Mid-tergrades this year, as
every year, are a disappointment to
many students and are especially discouraging to some freshmen.
Now that the initial depressed
feelings have been drowned during
a refreshing holiday, it is time to look
at the brighter side and work up a
little determination that will carry
through the rest of the semester. Midterm grades rate a little more thanks
than some have been willing to give.
Consider this quotation by Arthur
W. Newton:
