105 Students
Aim Petition
At Candidates
A petition urging Student
Congress to "compile and publish an evaluation of courses
and instructors" was circulated
in the Student Center Monday
night.
The petition was signed by
105 students during a period
of about two hours according
to one of its Cramers, Patricia
Dominguez, sophomore education major.
"This is to represent the Cact
that students do have ideas and
leaders do not come to students
Cor them," Miss Dominguez said.
Miss Dominguez explained
that the petition was designed
to bring out an important issues
in "an issueless campaign."
The petition states:
"It is a well known Cact that
many of the courses on this
campus are taught in a very
ragged manner.
"We the undersigned believe
that the Student Congress should
take steps to compile and publish a 'Student Cuide to Courses
and Instructors.' This could be
easily accomplished by basing
the information in the handbook
on evaluation made by the students.
"The feasibility anil success
of such a publication is well
supported by the results achiev cd
at other universities."

IFC also discussed the proposal to loan the smaller fraternities money for rush functions. In turn for every dollar
loaned, the IFC will match it
with a gift of equal amount.
"If wc loan a fraternity $100
then we will give them $100.
They have to pay back only the
money we loaned them," explained Sussman.
The idea for such a loan is
to give the smaller fraternities
a chance to compete with the
larger fraternities in rush. Sussman said that he hoped that if
the motion, was approved that
vice-versa-

a fraternity receiving such a loan

would use the money wisely.

"A lot will have to be taken
into consideration in giving out
the money, and first of all it
must be discussed in each of
the fraternity houses," he concluded.
If this proixjsal is passed each
fraternity that takes advantage
of the loan will be required to
account for how the money is
spent.

Seven Singers In Concert, Clinic

Festival Of Folk Music Scheduled For April 23

Seven folk artists will be
featured in the Festival ofSouth-er- n
Folk Music which will be
presented April 23 at UK. The
artists will conduct workshops
in the afternoon and perform in
an evening concert. The entire
program is open to the public.
The Festival presentation will
include traditional music of the
South as well as the gospel,
Bluegrass and topical songs of
this century. The traditional
music includes a selection of
southern Appalachian
ballads
which were brought to the region
by the English and Scotch-Iris- h
and tempered by the harshness
of the frontier.
Another form of music will
be Negro slave songs sung with
African rhythms and words which
express the Negro's disgust with
his intolerable situation. Negro
spirituals with the traditional
syncopated upbeat often accompanied by handclapping will be
in the program along with the
more conservative white spirituals which were popularized in

the evangelical churches of the
late 19th century.
Worksongs will also be performed. These were often sung

Samples of the blues w ill also
be on the program as well as
bluegrass, a combination of traditional ballads and blues and
gospel, a combination of Negro
church music and blues. Topical
songs will include union, depression and freedom songs.
Folk enthusiasts and aspiring

the afternoon. Discussions will
include the history of the music
and the relationship between folk
music and the social movements
of the South in this century.
There will also be a workshop
on the musical techniques involved in performing as well as
writing songs.
Seven folk singers will conduct
the workshop.
Hedy West, a native of North

tradition, and accompanies herself on the banjo.

blues, some of which he learned
from the Carter family. He plays
a twelve-strin- g

style.
Gil Turner is a topical song
and banjo

picker. He has devoted much of
his time to furthering the use
of music in the student movement.

Edna Ritchie is a native of
Viper and now lives in Winchester. She sings traditional mountain ballads and accompanies
herself on a Ledford dulcimer.

Candidates And The Race
We think it indeed unfortunate

that more capable candidates have
not filed for Student Congress executive offices. As the race now
stands, students will have only
two actual choices for two of the
more important campus positions.

The two platforms are so similar
they may be treated jointly. Both
contain suggestions for petty revision in some Congress services, but

The

both seem to miss sadly the major
function of Student Congress.
While both propose
debate forums to handle
controversial items, both would ban
"political" discussions from the
floor of Congress. Both candidates
see Congress as a body doling out
a string of services to students
rather than functioning as the focal
point of student power within and
without the University community.

The platform of Political Chameleon John O'Brien is cluttered additionally with some absurd charges
and plans to coerce the Student
Center Board, who made an honest
decision not to merge with
Congress.
Mr. O'Brien, whose whims have
led him out and into the presidential race, charges "dishonesty"
of Student Center Board members
who originally expressed favor to
the merger and then changed their
mind after hearing new debate.
Additionally, Mr. O'Brien claims
the Kernel should have condemned
the two board members. We do
not find an honest change of mind
grounds for condemnation, however.

Neither Mr. O'Brien nor Mr.

has been borne out by actions of
the current Congress. Mr. Wester-fiel- d

platform and candadicies:
political ineptness, provincialism,
and shortsightedness.

Slate

Porter-Field- s

Unfortunately, the Porter-Field- s
slate offers nothing more to the
student body. Porter, while perhaps
more successfully rhetorical than
either O'Brien or Westerfield, is
equally as provincial. He, too,
opposed affiliation with NSA, arguing the familiar line of "we don't
want outside agitation here."
The Porter platform speaks
grandly of increasing student representation functions of Congress,
but we vyeredisapp'ointed to learn
he meant by that "better utilization of the representation authorized to the student body on faculty
committees." Apparently Mr. Porter
fails to see that Student Congress,
like the Faculty Senate, could be a
major voice and center of power on
campus. Mr. Porter proposes only to
chew more thoroughly the bones
tossed to students through appointment to faculty committees.
Also included in the Porter proare politically-appealin- g

reforms in the bookstore and the

offers no clues that such reforms
actually are possible.
Included prominently in Mr.
Porter's and Miss Field's platform
is Mr. Porter's campaign for the
establishment of the Kentucky Student Government Association for
coordinating of ideas, etc. etc. between Kentucky schools. We think
if Mr. Porter actually had been
interested in an interchange of ideas
between student governments, he
might have fought against NSA
withdrawal, as the University Student Congress has far more in
common with gvtf ninents-- of uni

versities of comparable size than
it does with the state's smaller
colleges.
Miss Fields, by her own admission, is uninformed on major
issues concerning Congress. She
has never served a term in Congress, though she has served on
the Judiciary Board. Her personal
stands on such questions as the
service-politicbalance of Congress are unknown, and neither
she nor Mr. Porter has made much
effort to make these public. We
suspect important disagreements in
philosophy between her and her
running mate have been hushed
up.
So also are there some keywords for the Porter-Field- s
slate:
rhetorical emptiness, uninformed-ness- ,
and again shortsightedness.

The Third Candidate
As for

write-i-n

candidate, Don

Pratt, we believe it would be unrealistic to endorse a candidate
who does not even meet the requirements for Congress president.
Although Mr. Pratt has good intentions, his proposals are vague
and lack necessary investigation.
Furthermore, Mr. Pratt apparently
does not understand how these
proposals would be implemented.
