week by

the Colleges of

Agricul-

ture, Pharmacy, Commerce, Education, and Engineering.
The combined enrollment of
these five colleges Is 4,296 with 26
percent being on probation. This
was a 4 percent Increase over the
1959 spring semester.
Figures from the 1958 fall semester showed that 30 percent of
the student body was on academic
probation. The 2.0 standing then
applied only to freshmen.
An estimate was made then that
an Increase from 5 to 7 percent of
the student body would be on pro

bation following the fall semester
of this year.
This was based on the fact that
35 percent of all UK students made
below the "C" level for the fall
semester of 1959.
If the figures that have been
completed by five colleges are an
Indication of the campus trend,
this figure will not be reached.
Official probation figures have
yet to be released by Dean of Admissions and Registrar Charles F.
Elton. Dr. Elton said the official
figures would be released to the
public within the next two weeks.

In releasing the figures, Dean
White said the percentage of students is about the same as it has
been in previous years.
Dean White could not live the
exact percentage the 403 students represented, because he does
not yet know how many students
are enrolled in the college.
"I think that the number of
students making high standings
and the dean's list has increased
in the past couple of years," he
said.

UK Professor Aids Japanese

Toward Understanding Of U.S.
Dr. Brady has received many letters from both the
winners of the contest and students who have read
the magazines. He says he always answers the letters,
and friends of his in Japan report on the tremendous
enjoyment the Japanese get from an American letter.
Once a blind girl won the contest. She sent her
thanks in a letter written in Japanese Braille.
The last group of magazines were sent to an English club of Junior high students. Miss Itoh. the
English teacher, wrote. "I send you many letters

years ago, so they don't write and read English

Ty SI K MeCAl'LEY
Aided by a small picture magazine, Dr. George K.
Brndy, head of the Humanities Department, has become an ambassador of good will .to Japan.
Dr. Brady collects copies of Scenic South, a monthly publication of the Standard Oil Company, and
fends them to Junior high school students in Shiga-ken,

Japan.

The children, who are learning English, like the
magazine which consist largely of pictures of scenic
fpnts in the Southern states. They are able to read
the simple captions and descriptions under the
pictures.
The project has a long history. The UK English
professor became interested in Japan and Its folklore in 1948 when he was there as a member of the
U. S. Government Social Science Mission.
His interest continued after his return to the
United States, and he started a correspondence with
a professor at a Japanese university.
In 1931, this professor asked him to sponsor an
English oratorical contest for Junior high school stuThe contest has become an andents in Shiga-keeach year Dr. Brady sends prizes

He said the first year he sent money for the engraving since he didn't know what they would want
written on the cup. Afterwards he found out that
it is engraved as the George K. Brady Cup.
After this project, he got the idea of sending the
Scenic South magazines to the children learning
English. He started collecting them from students,
other faculty members, and friends, and now often

* Senior Figureheads
The senior class of the College of
Arts and Sciences met Tuesday night
in what is more than likely its first,
last, and only meeting of the semester.
The purpose of this meeting was to
choose officers. It might be better to
term them conventional figureheads
to represent a nonexistent group.
Students in a University have little
or no interest in their academic class
as a working organization. There are
too many other organizations on campus in which they can take a more
active and successful role.
This semester's officers have already appointed a committee to
evaluate the College of Arts and Sciences. It is truly a worthy ambition,
but the time element makes a sufficient evaluation or any other possible program for improvement a near
impossibility.

Had these officers been elected
early first semester they may have
had a chance to get something done
if it is possible with such a large
group.
Electing officers with too little time
to accomplish anything and too little
backing to help them attain their goal
seems a comedy worth snide comment.
The officers are merely assuming
a title to be cherished in later years
for its connotation, but not for its
accomplishment.
If the
and the
usefulness of the senior class organization to the University and to itself
can be attained, then let the elections go on.
If not, why bother to continue
them?

Johnny Marching Away
"And
home."

so Johnny

came marching

The time was the post-wa- r
years of
World War II, and Johnny not only
came home, he came to college. He
came to UK and with him came two
or three thousand war buddies.
As veterans, Johnny and his buddies seemed thankful to be able to
work and plan for a future which
had often looked vague and indefinite during the four years they
had been fighting a world war.
Many times there were striking differences between the Johnnies on
campus and the other students. They
shared a certain unity and maturity
that fellow classmates didn't have.
They formed various veteran organizations, even a newspaper of their
own. The campus scene on a whole
was somewhat different from what
it had previously been. For emergency quarters, veterans were housed
temporarily in the gymnasium.
Two hundred houses were bought
by the University from the Federal
Housing Administrat'on and moved
to UK especially for married veterans.
Fraternity houses which had been
forced to close during the war were
reopened. On campus one would often
spy a pair of army boots here, a combat jacket there. Such things often

self-evaluati-

will be.

Although the provisions of the new
constitution were given to the Kernel
and published in its news columns

became trademarks of the veterans.
As a whole they may not have been
the best dressed group on campus,
but they soon became more renowned
in another way in scholastic achievement and leadership.
Classroom atmosphere was different from what we find today. Lectures were taken more seriously. Tests
were scaled to a higher mental level,
and necessity for classroom discipline
was almost nonexistent.
As 'the years passed, the number
of Johnnies dwindled. Their younger
brothers and sisters grew up and
came to college and lately, their
children.
The college scene again underwent
changes, some minor, others quite
major ones. The students of the last
few years seem younger and understandably more immature than the
Johnnies. Discipline has come into
its own again.
The campus heyday of Johnny and
his buddies is about over. Today
there are only about 647 veterans left
at UK, in comparison with the 2,000
of yesteryear.
However, their influence on UK's
campus was as impressive and rewarding as the one they made when
"they came marching home."
We "immature younguns" who are
left could benefit from their example.

more than two weeks ago, the congress has yet to meet to begin ratification of the document. A frequent
criticism of the body in the past was
its reluctance to act quickly and
efficiently.

We hope this malady of the past
will not become part of the heritage
of the revitalized group. In spite of
this inauspicious beginning, we have
faith in the congress and want to see
it succeed. It would seem, therefore,
that prompt action is called for.

Senseless Prejudice

Wanted: Prompt Action
After heaping lavish, praise on Student Congress for its apparently sincere desire to increase its effectiveness through a vigorous
and radical new constitution,
we have noticed a distressing indication that, as a rose by any other
name would smell as sweet, SC may
not be changed by merely saying it

To The Editor:
I would like to commend you on the
superior article in the March 2 Kernel
entitled "The Dining Denial." However, there are a few things you did
not take into consideration. There was
not, and in my opinion, will never
be a demonstration with such far
reaching consequences as this one
will have, that has been completely
free of violence. The
public is far too complacent in its
beliefs instigated during childhood
to let this struggle for equality pass
by without any complications. As you
have seen in the other "sitdown
strikes" that have occurred in the
South, the Negro has been prosecuted
for the most trivial "offenses," such
as blocking of the aisles or refusing
to move from the path of a white
person. Are the whites so superior
that all others should be scorned?
All people, supposedly, are created
equal, but there has had to be some
minority upon which the majority
could vent their wrath throughout the
ages. Why, in this present age of
atomic power and, in the very near
future, the exploration of other worlds,
should this stupid persecution go on?
This is a question which I cannot
answer. Can you?

To The Editor:
Heccntly, there have been some
articles appearing in the Kernel concerning the intellect, or lack of it, of
football players, Being a member of
this group, I became somewhat
alarmed and concerned alxnit the
justification of these accusations.
I have taken the time to obtain the
grades of football players during the
past four years. Beginning with the
school year of 1955-3and ending
iy.S-59- ,
with the school year of
the
football team has compiled an overall standing of 2.10 as compared to a
2.2 over-al- l
standing of the men on
campus. The standing of the
of the football team is 2.3,
which is equal to the 2.3 of the
upperclassmen on campus. On the
average, there have been alnmt seven
players (15 percent of the team) who
have had a 3.0 standing each year.
During this four year period, there
have been 15 players who have made
a 3.0 or better and five w ho have made
a 10 standing. I believe that these
figures will speak for themselves re
0

upper-classme- n

garding football players' relative
standing.
In reply to the recent article on
athletes, the author stated that an
"A" student playing football was "as
rare as a kitten in a dog kennel."
I'll agree with you, but it is just
as rare for any student in college
today to have an "A" standing. Moreover, the author says that athletes'
"stupidity" in class provides him with
an abundance of laughs. Heally, I
wonder who has shown so much
ignorance or stupidity in class that
ou have received such a thrill? Perhaps there might have been just a
mild exaggeration in that statement.
Personally, I consider it an honor to
be a member of the football team.

Unpalatable as Webster's definition of "imiversitv" mav seem to vou,
Miss Jameii, it is ueveitheless authori-

so m ( how loses face by consulting his
dictionary on matters of word definition? By your use of the word
"copied," I presume you find the
thought of an authority greater than
yourself distasteful.
I note that you digress to the area
of personalities rather than adhering
to the question of athletic contributions to the University, l'eihaps you
would consent to write another letter
letting forth these numerous contributions which are obviously so clear
to you. I note that you are very concerned about my extracurricular activities. This is touching, but just what
bearing it has on athletic contributions, I am not certain.
Your implication that I am lacking
in social graces is deeply resented and
totally irrelevant.
