Tor Faculty Trustees

Balloting To Decide
Nominating Procedure
The UK faculty will select by
ballot the method for nominating
faculty candidates for the two
posts of nonvoting members on the
Board of Trustees.
At a special meeting of all faculty members of the rank of assistant profenMjr and above, held
March 24, it was decided to send
the recommended procedures back
to the committee appointed by UK
President Prank G. Dickey.
The committee, headed by Dr.
Morris Sonera, met Friday and
decided cn three proposals for
nominating procedures.
The ballot, which is being distributed to faculty members, lists
the voting proposals and has space
for the choice to be checked. The
ballots aie to be returned to the
committee ty 4 p.m.. Tuesday,
April 5.
The proposals are:
1. The University Faculty Elections Committee will serve as the
general faculty's election coin- -

mittee. It will submit a list of
members eligible for elections to
the board plus a ballot on which
faculty members first and second
choices for nomination are placed.
The committee would then choose
the six members with the greatest
number of nominations.
2. The University Faculty Committee on Committees would appoint a nominations committee
which would invite nominations
from the faculty. The committee
would then nominate six of those
persons. The election would then
be conducted by the University
Faculty Elections Committee.
3. (A combination of numbers
one and two) The University Faculty Committee on Committees
would appoint a nominations and
elections committee to secure nominations as outlined in section one.

40 Percent
Of Freshmen
On Probation
Forty percent of the UK freshman class is on probation. Dean of
Admission and Registrar Charles
F. Elton announced yesterday.
Dr. Elton indicated that the
constant interchange of probation
figures provoked by changed grades
and completing "I's", has slowed
down.
Warren W. Walton, associate
professor of Mechanical Engineering, commented that since the probation requirement has been raised
from about 1.4 to 2.4, and because
the percentage of freshmen on probation hasn't increased, the quality
of students UK is receiving is improving.
There are approximately 852
freshmen who failed to make a
2.0 standing.
The percentage of students on
the campus has dropped 5 percent since last semester.
Thirty percent of the entire student body is on probation.

Dr. Barbour believes If a way is
to be found to control the starlings
it will have to be through biological
control.
One way Dr. Barbour suggests
is to introduce a disease to the
birds. This disease, common only
to the starling, would then be
passed on to other starlings,
thereby reducing their number.
'But." says Dr. Barbour, "that
disease remains to be found."

Frat Scholarship
The fraternity system, despite efforts of its members to prove the
contrary, has become known anions;
educational ranks as a symbol of
campus social life, of fun and drinking, of
on education, and
of concentration on a nebulous uniting theme of "brotherhood."
We .don't know how much of the
criticism is deserved, but noted educators, have often lashed out with a
discerning whip at fraternities and
rated them a superfluous part of a
university. They have asked for complete abolishment of the fraternity
system and have tried to create machinery in their universities so that
it would be dropped.
And why? Many educators simply
say that fraternities discourage scholarship and lure away the prospectively "good" student to make him
an "adjusted" college student, mediocre to the hilt. They feel that the
student should learn in an independent atmosphere, bereft of a plethora
of social activities and other fraternity rubble. I lis purpose is to be
educated, not socialized.
We would not make all these generalizations of fraternity life, because
we doubt whether there are any accurate figures upon which to base
them. But it is safe to agree that
fraternities have not had an outward
purpose of promoting scholarship.
But a new issue has arisen on campus in which scholarship may be improved in UK fraternities, if it is sensibly handled.
Although the question of deferred
rush might have been tossed into the
lap of the Interfraternity Council because UK regulation sent more than
half of the fraternities on social probation, campus fraternities seem to be
finally realizing that in order to exist,
they must begin to realize the necessity of scholarship. It may be a fortunate trend.
We do not think that adoption of
deferred rush (either of the three
plans) will cause an immediate upsurge in fraternity scholarship. We
do believe it will (or might, we
should say) relieve the problem of

haxing 11 of 19 fraternities on social
probation. But deferred rush, per sc,
will not make them scholastic centers.
Deferred rush should be ratified by
IFC for only one reason, and it is an
academic one. A person coming to the
University should become a student
first and prove that he is capable of
extracurricular activities. Fraternities
should respect this responsibility as
sacred and should not ljother him
with
sales talk of
brotherhood until he has established
himself as a UK student, able to meet
all the challenges college puts forth.
. But we can't logically see how this
is going to skyrocket scholarship in
the social fraternity system. IFC is
to be commended for endeavoring to
enhance the standards among its
groups, but it should not accept deferred rush as the ultimate in improving fraternities academically. This indeed would be sloughing responsibility and oversimplifying the problem.
If this business of deferred rush
amounts to more than a medium of
escape for the 11 fraternities now on
probation and could be regarded as
a fervent desire to raise academic
standards both at UK and in the
fraternity system, it would be a long
stride ahead in dispelling adverse
opinions of fraternities.
If IFC could set up some form of
internal discipline whereby fraternity
members would be encouraged to
emphasize scholarship and rate it
above social life, the vehement criticisms hurled at fraternities by educators might diminish to almost nothing.
Consider the fact that proponents
of deferred rush are using the need
for better scholarship as an argument for it and one must side with
them. But, if the argument is only
an emergency move to get the 11
fraternities off social probation, then
one cannot because it is not sincere.
We are glad to see the subject of
fraternity scholarship brought into the
open by the deferred rush issue. But
IFC should not hide behind mommy's
skirt, hail the need for academic improvement, and then forget about it
as soon as deferred rush is adopted.
Mommy wouldn't like that.

The Poor Aardvark
adversaries

What has befallen the poor aardvark that creature whose main distinction lay in his starting off all alphabetical lists?
The owner of a Chicago telephone
answering service is trying to litigate
his way into complete dominance of
the opening page of that city's phone
book. He has given his firm 10 titles
ranging from a simple capital A
through AAAAAAAAAA. He and the
phone company are now battling over
this plan.
To those of us who grew up on the
precedence of aardvarks in dictionaries and encyclopedias, the whole
phonebook alfair has come as a shock.

stat.l

in the
Thursday Kernel that I was astonished that a basketball player should
receive a basketball players' award.

Reference was to Dickie Parsons' receiving the Chandler trophy.
What astonishes me is that Mr.
Logsdon can't read. I said, "These
letter writers would probably find it
hard to believe that an award could
be given to an athlete when scholarship is involved."
Maybe he knows how he interpreted this . statement as he did. I

don't.
far as Parsons is concerned,
nothing that he accomplishes, scholastic or otherwise, astonishes me.

To The Editor:
Michael Morgan found my article
questioning the triteness of the comments in the Lexington Herald "amusing.' He was amazed that I had the
audacity to try to find ethical enlightenment in the local paper.
Upon reviewing this situation I
find myself wholeheartedly agreeing
with him. It was more than amusing,
it was preposterous.
The only excuse I can even attempt to make with any sort of
legitimacy is that I succumbed to a

moment idealistic
In the process of this deluded wishful thinking, I became blind to the
existing reality. Surely, Mr. Morgan
in his course of meditation has dwelt
for a moment uon the accomplishment of a possible ideal.
And, Mr. Morgan must admit that
the ideals that he and I both find
lacking are not impossible to obtain.
Granted they aren't in existence but
they also aren't impossible; though
they might as well lie.
I venture to estimate that Mr. Morgan's great grandchildren will be in
the rocking chair before this deficit
is corrected.
In the meantime, Mike old buddy,
