Students Of Yesteryear Thrived On Pranks
By JOE MILLS
Kernel Staff Writer

Rules will change, enrollment will soar, styles
of today will he forgotten tomorrow, anil a million
other things will he altered, hut the student prank
continues to he the same.
The student of yesteryear was very forward In pulling
pranks. He didn't care who knew it. Today, students are
very cautious In having their fun, mainly because prank
repercussions can lead one out of the halls of ivy.
' The student of
today occasionally sets off a fire
alarm, generally on the last day of school and
"accidentally" of course. Foamy fights are common
nowadays; the winner Is usually the one who can
quirt the most shaving lather the quickest and then
run the fastest.
The "big" guy In the fraternity or on the dorm
floors is the accepted center of prank activity. No one
can physically outdo him. so everyone plans to throw
him in the shower on the last day of school, collectively
of course.
This semester, several people have found their doorknobs coated with' some kind of salve. Students have
been known to put burning paper under someone's door,
but only if the student is in.
-. In the eaiiy. IflOO's,- - it was
great sport for a group

"TOG

of students to set off a number of fire alarms and then
mingle innocently with the excited crowd who had eagerly gathered to watch the University burn.
Once three
athletes had an education
class together. One day when one was absent, the
other two slipped a skeleton into class and propped
"him" up In the absentee's chair.
When the unsuspecting professor called the name
of the third athlete, the other two began sobbing and
pointing to his choir, saying, "This is all that's left of
poor Frank."
Stuoents of today often complain about the modern
facilities in dormitories and boarding houses, but our
grandparents really had something to yell about.
One former student said in his memoirs that if
his mattress was placed on the floor, it would move
across the room under the power of the many little
red creatures who had made It their home.
It was common for students to seek revenge for
many sleepless nights by soaking their mattresses in oil
on the last day of school.
and setting fire to them
The class of 1907 even reported one bug which had
the inscription, "John H. Morgan, 1869," carved on its
back. (This writer feels obligated to report that this
bug was seen thundering by the Journalism Building
on Feb. 27. Beware! He eats people!),
- "Two-yea- rs
ago "a counselor Tn Donovan Hall was

giving the boys a bad time. One day about 2 a.m., twd
boys slipped In and hung the remains of a dead cat
right over the counselor's door. How it was removed is
not known. The odor called for prompt removal, but
no one would volunteer.
Because of such things as housemothers, dorm
rules, and various judiciary committees, coeds today
may often feel deprived of a certain amount of free
dom.
All they have to do is take a look into the past to
see how very lucky they are. In grandma's day, when
not in class or locked safely in their quarters at night,
coeds were kept under the watchful eye of a monitress.
"Aunt Lucy" Blackburn was the most famous housemother, because she constantly tried to keep her young;
charges from flirting with the young men on campus.
When a
coed would stroll oat Into
the night with a young man, "Aunt Lucy" would
stroll after them and bring them back.
quite calmly
To pass the time away during assembly periods,
coeds would write notes to each other, and Aunt Lucjr
would often catch them at it and read the notes.
One such note read, "Aunt Lucy doesn't wear any
drawers." It was rumored that she very indignantly took
this one to President Patterson, who said, "Well, I guess
I will have to investigate the matter."

SC's Dangerous Precedent
If Student Congress votes "yes"
Monday night on a motion to release
three military organizations from an
$S33 debt, it may be setting a dangerous precedent.
The debt was incurred in 1939
when Arnold Air Society, Scabbard
and Blade, and Pershing Rifles borrowed the money to pay off expenses from that year's Military Ball.
The initial loan was $1,500 but the
sum of $666 was payed on June 23,
'1959.
Could not organizations in the
future receive financial assistance, and
then seeing the possibility the debt
would take time to pay back, appeal
to Student Congress to release them
on the grounds the governing body
had released the military organizations?
It is quite conceivable.
YeSj John Williams, vice president of Student Congress, was right
when he said one of the functions
of the group is to assist campus organizations. But he seems to have

in a different light.
The vice president pointed out
that since SC functions partially to
help campus groups, it follows that
the congress should release the military societies so they might operate
in the black again.
But isn't this twisting the meaning
of a function of Student Congress
ever so slightly?
Should Student Congress be available in an emergency to aid an organization financially or otherwise?
Or should it foolishly make itself
available for any campus organization In take advantage of it because
of a precedent that would release
jiem from a big debt.
It seems that if Student Congress
wants to build a "parent group" image
it would be defeating its purpose by
dropping the debt. It would be violating an organizational function as
well as just plain "good business
practices.'
Student Congress cannot afford to
operate as a charity organization.

It's Your Obligation
By RICK McREYNOLDS

Editorial Staff Writer
High school basketball tournament time is here again. This means
the highways and streets in and
around Lexington will be almost as
overcrowded on these weekends as
they are on holidays.
Knowing this, it would be well to
stress again the need for particular
caution in driving. Rather than preach
some kind of sermon on our moral
obligation to try to be safe and sane
drivers, however, let's just look at a
few facts and figures which should
get the message across.
The World Health Organization
reports that everyday 1,000 persons
are injured or killed outright on the
world's highways. In one year's time,
this adds up to 365,000 persons, or
approximately three times the population of Lexington. Just think, using
automobiles as our only weapon, we
could wipe out the entire population
of ixington, three times over.
How much would you guess the
10,200,000 accidents reported in 1960
cost? Besides taking 38,200 lives and
causing 1,400,000 disabilities, the total cost in dollars and cents of these
accidents was estimated by Traffic
Safety at $6,400,000,000. How many
Univesity of Kentucky's would that
amount of money build?
And here are a couple of other
little traffic tidbits that may interest
you. In our nation of 50 states, only
IS require periodic safety inspections
of vehicles. Unfortunately, Kentucky
is not one of these states. But in the
IS states that do require periodic auto
.

check-uphalf the vehicles inspected
fail to meet even the minimum requirements.
An interesting sidelight to this
is the fact that the traffic death rate,
according to the Auto Industries
Highway Safety Committee, is consistently lower than those having no
inspection laws.
How well do your brakes work?
Are you sure that both tail lights are
working? And how about your directional lights; you are positive that
they work in both the front and rear,
aren't you?
The driver that insists that he can
control his car with equal facility after
no drinks or 10 drinks may be interested in what Dr. II. A. Heise,
chairman of an American Medical
Association committee, has to say
about drinking and driving:
"If alcohol could be divorced from
driving, alxut half of the 40,00(1
doomed to die each year on the highways would live and half a million
more would be spared from painful,
crippling, and costly injuries and accidents."
You might like to know that just
one ounce of alcohol, which is about
the amount you get in one drink,
increases your chances of being involved in an automobile accident by
1,000 percent. Bookmakers could not
beat those odds.
Granted, these are just a few
figures on a piece of paper, but each
figure represents a real person. Do
not think these things only happen
to the other fellow; that is probably
what each figure on this page thought.

Campus Parable
By EDWARD

A. McLACIILAN

Adlai Stevenson once wrote, "Always remember, it is not the years
in your life, but the life in your years
that really counts."
Man has been often and justly
criticized for worrying too much about
material things, for worrying too
much about his comfort a nice home,
a fancy car, stylish clothes, an ad

equate retirement plan for his old
age. At the same time, however, man
has shown little interest in true accomplishment in leaving the world a
better place than he found it.

Ferhaps if we would heed Pascal
when he writes, "Let us live as if
we had only eight hours to live," and
attempt to justify our existence in
those eight hours, we might truly
make count the life in our years.

Career Journalism Is A 'Love Affair9

(Editor's note: In addition to welcoming
By STEPHEN

tlie members of today's high school press
conference, the Kernel would like to jMint
out some of the advantages of a career
in journalism. Here is one senior's view.)
Why does anyone select journalism,
especially newspapcring, as a profession?
While the answer is hard to pinpoint,
here is one opinion.
Journalism provides a chance and a
challenge to be creative. When a newspaperman dashes out of the office to
cover a fire, or simply walks the routine
city hall beat, he collects assorted facts
from numerous
people with differing
points of view and writes a composite
story his story, for it is unique, like no
other story in the world. To be creative
in a world of mass production is part
of a journalist's pride.
A newspaperman never is department- -

to express himself. When a reporter sees
the problems and causes of teenage drug
addiction he reports the facts. When an
editorial writer sees shoddy dealings
within a public office he tells the world
in an editorial.

with this opportunity for expression goes

A newspaper holds a position of trust.
The press (including broadcasting) exposes or hides the misuse of funds, tells
the people about irregular purchases of
trucks or school busses, or reveals an
unsuccessful military invasion of Cuba.
It keeps the bureaucrats in line and answerable to the people. Newspapers and

He talks to business leaders, politicians,
and workers, to the dreamers, the amand he
bitious, and the discouraged;
meets the happy, the fanatic, and the
lonely. For him, people are fascinating,
for each is different. It is an exciting
game to try to understand people, and
the journalist has great opportunities to
play this game.
Journalists know the inside story. Besides the facts that are printed, a newspaperman knows the tidbits of rumor
and has a clear idea of later developments. He knows the peopl
