Indiana's Solution
Indiana Gov. Roger D. Braingin
is to be commended for his decis-

ion Tuesday to request that the U.S.
Transportation Department put his
state entirely on Central Time.
Presently, the time zone issue is
rather muddled in Indiana because
of local option, conflict of federal
and state laws and the application
of the new federal law requiring
all states to go on daylight, or
"fast," time, six months out of
the year unless decided to the
contrary by the state legislature.
In 1961, the Interstate Commerce Commission (which now does
not controll the time question),
put 43 eastern and central Indiana
counties in the Eastern zone and
the rest in the Central zone, but
all except 15 of the over 90 remaining counties have been observing

Eastern Standard Time all year.
It is likely that the outcome of
the Indiana time question could
influence a similar situation in Kentucky, to be resolved when the state
legislature next meets. Kentucky's
legislature did not have a scheduled
session between the time the federal time law was passed and the
time it would have gone into effect. As a result, the Commonwealth
this summer will have the usual
confusion of four separate time
zones being observed in no particular order.
We have urged that Kentucky
also adopt Central Standard Time
with Central Daylight Time during the late spring, summer and

early fall months. This move would
be particularly profitable if Indiana
follows a similar timetable.

a small school in west Tennessee,
working toward a Ph.D. in Political Science at UK. During this
time I have frequently compared
the large campus unfavorably on

between students and faculty that
is possible on the small campus.
Two of my students from last

Last fall my
son,
Jerry, contracted leukemia. He reentered the hospital March 1 and
lost his life early this month. During his illness he was given approximately 120 units of blood. When
Rusty Booth and Nancy McLean
heard of Jerry's need for blood,
they rounded up 34 pints of blood
which were given and credited to
Jerry at the University Medical
Center.
To Rusty, Nancy and those students who made donations of blood,
I give my sincere
appreciation; and

These failings might be excusable

Law College's Committee on Minority Group Recruitment as a

In fact, this committee was established by vote of the entire law

best only 1.3 percent of the nation's law school students are Negro and that we suspect that poor
white students, too, are present in
disproportionately small numbers.
Further, I have some doubt that
the numerous quoted statements are

I am sincerely sick of hearing
of Coach Rupp's repeated failure

He obviously can not "do it all",

should be questioned. Certainly,
the time is at hand for all of us
to consider our actions. Perhaps

EDITOR'S MESSAGE
During the academic year now
ending, The Kernel has received
a record number of Letters to the
Editor; it appears we will have
received about 250 by the end of
the semester.
On this, the final day we will
publish letters this semester, The
Kernel's editors would like to express-, .a sincere "thank you" to
those who have been interested
enough in the world, the University and in this newspaper so as
to express their sincere comments.
Despite the publication delays
created by the large number of letters, most of our readers were very
patient in waiting for their letter
to be printed, even if that wait
lasted for two weeks or more.
We hope that in years to come
readers will continue to express
themselves in the Letters to the
Editor section of The Kernel with
as much vigor and enthusiasm as
was displayed this year.

Soapbox: What The Negro lias Done For America

Dy GEORGE M. SPOTTS
Supervising Chef, Complex
With the spotlight currently
focused on Negroes on public
aid, millions of white Americans
have a distorted impression of
what white taxpayers are doing
for the so called undeveloped Negro. They, too, are smoldering
under the misconception that he
does nothing in return.
As a matter of documented
fact, if not publicized record, the
Negro has done proportionately
more for his country than any

other Natural Horn American.
He has done relatively more for
his country than his country has
done for him.
A native born taxpaying American, the Negro is more alien'
atcd from the mainstream of society than the lowest immigrant
who brings with him nothing but
the whiteness of his skin, yet the
Negro's blood, sweat, and tears
have gone a long way in making
America great. His equity in her
is stronger than the Daughters
of the American Revolution, or
