By

TOM LEXN'OS

The "mcnth of brides" will soon be upon us.
But, ii reminder to any of you who may be contemplating the oranpe blossom trail. Tills marriage business is
actually a rifcht mercenary thing:.
Now, for example, there Is the simple little token, the
wedding ring. .
You wouldn't eipect anything mercenary in it (except
the down payment and 30 more to go), but it springs
from the early English tradition of giving the "wed" the
payment made by the bridegroom and hi kin to the worn-an- 's
kin when the marriage agreement is concluded.
According to early English custom, a "morning gift"
is presented to the bride by the bridegroom the next
morning for her cooperation in making him a married

man.
The epitome of

however, is that
beautiful white veil without which no bridal costume is
complete. This covering of innocence, hiding the radiant
face of the fciide, may have originated from the Roman
custom of having the bride wear a
veil which
was later
as her "burial shroud."

u.-e-

All around the world one discovers strange practices
and customs in matrimony.
sociology pro
For example, A. F. Radcllffe-Browfessor at Oxford University, In "African System of Kin-shi- p
and Marriage," tells of the African custom of having
the future husband come to live with and work for the
kin of the bride when she Is still a little girl.
And again, if this spring weather has gone to your
heart, and you're having trouble deciding which of your
many possibilities may make the best mate, why not Just
turn the Job over to your mother, as they do In Morocco.
In the book, "Marriage Ceremonies in Morocco,"
Westermarck. sociology professor at Aberdeen College, tells how the parents make the fatal choice for
their offsprings.
The happy couple meet for the first time at the altar.
The groom is then dressed as a bride "in order to lessen
the sexual danger." (We haven't quite figured this one
Out yet either).
Tired of the moniker you've been wearing all these
years? Well, if you're a female, and an African, when you
marry, the whole thing will change. In some parts of

Africa, it Is necessary that the husband's family rename
his wife.
comes visiting you and your
When your mother-in-lanewly-we- d
mate, and things begin to boil, remember,
it could have been different in Africa.
For some time after the wedding. It Is compulsory that
the wift's mother abide by the "distance custom,"
and not visit the couple for a minimum of two months.
In some tribes, when the bridegroom sees the bride's
parents coming down the road, he must run and hide in
the bushes until they pass. According to the custom, he
is not good enough to look upon the ancestors of his bride.
have a tendency to get the
Brothers and sisters-in-labest of you, too. The Africans also have a solution for this
problem, called a "Joking relationship."
Persons engaging in such a relationship are expected
to speak and behave toward each other in an insulting
and offensvie way. The type of speech and behavior used
are defined by custom.
However, if you're in the market, but not for a bride,
maybe a trip to Polynesia will do the trick. There they
do not fret over the matter of love, they just marry for'
economic reasons.

Serious Game

These volleyball players get no enjoyment from their game. They
are members of a mine rescue team and the same played in a
room filled with formaldehyde gas is to condition them for a
mine emergency.

Volleyball Serious Sport
For Mine Rescue Team

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP)
They play a strange brand
at the Docena Coal Mine
near here.
The game isn't different but it
carries grim implications.
The players wear coveralls, hard
hats and oxygen masks.
And they play in a room filled
with formaldehyde gas.
It's serious business to the players and any pleasure they may derive is purely incidental.
Teammates are members of the
Coal Miners' Advanced Mine Rescue Team.
The volleyball gives them exercise in full breathing apparatus
and conditions them for jobs they
may face in a mine emergency.
The work is strictly voluntary.
The teams are composed of six
men each.

Four University poets, all staff
members of the English Department, will present a program of
their own work Tuesday, May 10.
The poetry reading, to be held
in the Music Lounge of the Fine
Arts Building at 8:30 p.m.. Is part
of the University's Fine Arts
Festival.
The four poets are Robert Ilaiel,
assistant professor; Dr. Paris
Leary, assistant professor; Dr. G.
T. Wright, instructor; and Keith
WrUht. graduate assistant.
Charles Dickens, English instructor and director of the Ouig-nLab Theatre, will be in charge
of the program.
Hazel has had poems published
in Toetry, The Western Humanities Review, The Hopkins Review,
New Directions, The Provincial,
Noonday, and University of Kansas C ity Review. Last February he
read poems at New York University on the NYU Poetry Reading
Series.

The rescue teams were first

Since then the units have taken

Prestige For Honors Day
Any university depends

heavily

upon these students for its reputation, its own honor, and even upon
its continued existence.
Accordingly, once a year, the University holds an Honors Day program to recognize students for scholastic achievement and present the
deserving senior man and woman with
the Sullivan Awards, which are given
for leadership and scholarship among
other outstanding qualities.
However, as it too often happens,
good intentions fall short of their
actual "intendedness" and students
become insensitive to duty either because of lack of opportunity or time
or because of indifference.
And . Honors Day is a good example.
Last year the dignity and prestige
of the program suffered somewhat
from the lack of attendance and general interest and also from the criticism of a few students concerning
the presentation of the Sullivan Me.

dallions.

One cry was that the presentation of the Sullivan awards overshadowed the scholastic honors of

the other students. Another was that
the Sullivan Medallions were too
often presented to campus organization leaders and not to students with
high standings.
This year, students themselves
were given a chance to help choose
the Sullivan recipients. They were
asked to submit nominations of students they thought were deserving.
Any student was eligible.
From these nominations, the University Committee on Sullivan Awards
selected the two winners basing their
judgment upon the qualifications set
forth by the New York Southern Society, the sponsor of the awards.
This therefore has ended one
weak phase of Honors Day and
should create more interest in the
program because of the participation
of UK students.
Remaining is the duty of the University's administration, faculty, and
the student body to add to this interest by stressing the importance of
scholastic honors in giving awards
and the distinction of their recipients
if Honors Day is to have the prestige
and significance it deserves.

Mr. George Smith would fit very well
in drama. The script he wrote for "18th
Century ROTC" (University Soapbox,
April 27) supplies excellent dialogue for
a warlord, a reminiscing grandad, a
prophet, characters, and meaning to the
words. For example, the first of the
script is dialogue for a warlord. Let s

add a background. . . .
A mob, 6,000 strong, has congregated in the square below a balcony.
The first character, with hair hanging
down on one side of his forehead, moves
to the balcony rail to deliver the first
lines of the dialogue:
"Over the head of the incoming male
collegian looms the ponderous prospect
of experience (Here the lines are so
moving, the mob yells "Ileil.") a gross
and shackling encumberance." (Another
"Hcii").
However, after presenting lines for
the first character, Mr. Smith seems to
lose the appropriate atmosphere for he

too.
But it is difficult to discern his meaning of a "task demanded in the nation's
defense today." Alxnit the only thing
discussed relative to the- nation's defense is disarmament, ami there is no
agreement on this. In reference to what
students are taught, one need only refer
to the textbooks and the professors of
the Military and Aerospace Science De-

partments.
His generalization ("today's existing world situation"), which in three
weeks will be debated, is ambiguous.
Perhaps if even a "situation" evolves
from the debate, we can determine ;'
"task."
Mr. Smith stated that "regardless of
all the puny philosophical whines, no one
with even the remotest tlegree of logic
can see the value of drill and parade."
So I guess this time he subtly implies

that he doesn't, either.
And it is difficult to determine the
value of drill for a platoon of oO men
or a company of triple that amount.
Without drill (that is, without , being
taught correctly) no one has to consider keeping in step, or keeping behind
or beside the other ma
