$46,895
Contract
A system for testing aerial cam
eras, developed at the University
and slated for use by the Air Force
as a standard of accuracy, will be
polished into final form under
terms of a $43,895 contract.
Aeronautical
The Wenner-Gre- n
Research laboratory at UK, where
the system was conceived, will
carry through the project from a
present "bread board" model to a
compact, foolproof apparatus suitable for acceptance testing on new
cameras.
One of the ten research projects
currently being conducted by the
laboratory, it was Issued by the
Air Material Command, Wright-ratterso- n
AFB, Ohio.
Principles of the carema tester
and of a rough model embodying
them were worked out under an
earlier Air Force contract with
UK after a number of others had
tried but did not produce desired
results. With the tester, the Air
Force will be able to measure
electronically
the accuracy of
equipment ranging from miniature
35 millimeter cameras to giant 9
cameras, Sautter speeds
by
providing intervals as brief as one
of a second may
be measured.
The operation marks the third
phase of the program. In the first,
the UK researchers made a survey
of all available camera testing
equipment principles and then
moved Into the second phase in
which they worked out the principles and a model.
The present contract, which allows nine months for final designing, will be administered by the
Kentucky Research Foundation
under Dr. Merl Baker, executive
director. The development will be
conducted under the direction of
Dr. K. O. Lange, associate director
of the Engineering Experiment
Station at UK. Frof. F. C. Curtis
will be project engineer, with J.
F. Lafferty as research engineer
and W. R. Yount and V. II. Towell
as principal associates.
In light of the fact that a heavy
economy axe has been used on
research programs for the military,
the contract was especially encouraging to UK researchers. Dr.
,ange said. A $24,000 contract
with UK for study of the reefing
of parachutes was recently can- -

* THE KENTUCKY KERNEL,

Asian Flu Precautions!
Discussed By Official
It Is no secret that Asian Influenza has now reached epidemic
proportions In several parts of
Kentucky, according to Russell E.
Teapue, MX)., State Health Commissioner.
Because of the relative mildness
of the disease, uncomplicated cases
should be cared fcr at home, he
fnid. How well the patient is cared
for at home may have much to do
with how fast he gets well, whether
complications develop or even
whether other members of a family also get sick. A
in
any illness is to call your ph.iMtian.
A flu victim should be isolated
from the rest of the family for
two very, important reasons. First,
to prevent others frcm getting the
'disease and second, to prevent the
patient from coming into contact
with other germs which may complicate the inf.uetua. Keep the
patient in a room by himself away
from the rest of the family, except
for the person caring for him. If
this is not possible, keep him in
a, bed at least 8 feet from another
bed, or use a cloth partition to
separate him from the rest of
the family.
Keep patient's personal articles
such as toothbrush, wash cloth,
towels, and dishes separate from
those of others in the family.
Use disposable tissues for the
patient's nose and throat discharges. These should be placed
in a paper bag at the bedside and
then burned or wrapped securely
and placed in a trash can.
The person attending the patient
should wear an pron which is left
in the patient's "room. Careful
washing of the hands should follow any service to the patient.
Take and record temperature
morning and night, unless otherwise instructed by your physician.
A sponge bath ij refreshing and
adds to comfort in the acute stage.
If the patient has muscular aches
and pains, heat in the form of a
hot water bottle or heating pad
;
is comforting.
Keeping the room well aired but
free of drafts and maintaining a
room temperature of 63'F. to 74JF.

received a letter this week from Miss Mary Holmes
Kauffman in which she accused the Kernel of heintj mistaken,
unfair, illogical, destrnctive, inexact, and tnrhid.
'J o one of these accusations we plead guilty. In an editorial
last week we erroneously referred to a Committee of Five.
XV c were mistaken.
It was in reality a Committee of Six the
.sixth memher heimi Miss Ikucie Cruise.
Miss Kauffman named the other members of the Committee: Dean of Men L. L. Martin, Dean of Women Doris M.
Seward, Martin's assistant John Proffitt, Miss Seward's assistant Sharon Miller, and Miss Kauffman, herself, representing Panhellenic.
Miss Kauffman also names three members of Sigma Chi
as Committee members. Sigma Chi President Hill Mammons
assures us that the representatives of Sigma Chi considered
themselves as part of the" Committee only in the most general
sense the same sense, you might say, that an accused soldier
considers himself part of a court martial.
Since in the future the Committee may be composed of
more or fewer members than the original six, we shall henceforth refer to it simply as the Committee. "
Miss Kauffman made some charges and asked some questions that we would like to discuss briefly.
Of course, we do not know just who inspired her letter,
but we doubt that it was entirely her doing. Perhaps the brain-washeare succeeding.
At any rate, the charge that the Kernel has an "evident dislike for the UK administration" is unequivocally false. We
have on the contrary openly expressed our admiration and
respect for the administration.
But we do not believe that a small committee, made up of
administrators, or staff members, or saints, or bowery bums,
or as Miss Kauffman suggested editors of the kernel, has the
right to decide what constitutes good or bad taste for some
8,000 students, and then enforce its decision by a technique
that smells of brainwashing and indirect censorship.
The Kernel has repeatedly tried to make it clear that we
are aware of the comparative insignificance of the Kernel
Kutie and the Sigma Chi Derby as isolated incidents. But
these things do not stand alone as isolated incidents. A matter

for they had heard about the"
form. The chapter felt that it
was cheapening and tacky. Many
parents have not allowed their
daughters to enter the contest.
'Sliaron Miller said that she had
seen pirls leave the stace in tears
after the contest. The Sicma
Chl's said that they did not know
of this feeling among the girls.
I anticipate that both the chapter and I will be called snobbish
by the Kernel. Maybe we are, but
girl
I feel that any
on this campus feels that the
Sisma Chi Queen contest is cheap
and revolting.
The Kernel seems to think that
through the power of the press,
it can mold student opinion. This
could certainly be true if the power
were channeled so that it could
be a strong force on our campus.
If the editors would strive to do
some constructive work rather than
tearing down and causing students
to pet excited and riled up over
situations about which they know
little or nothing, then the Kernel
would be considered by all think-- ,
ing students a vital institution on
the UK campus. The Kernel picks
the facts to be printed and omits
any logical thinking. Many times
the facts are taken out of context
and thus presented in an unfair
light.
I do not understand why the
editors of the Kernel chose tho
Queen contest as an outlet for
evident dislike for the UK administration. The two groups involved, namely the girls and the
Sigma Chi's, aren't objecting violently, why should the Kernel?

of principle is involved here that transcends such minor hap-

penings.
Can the Committee, by showing disapproval and inducing
leading students to agree with it, control campus thinking on
such subjects? If so; then student government and responsibility are mockeries. If we are to be ruled, then let us not
call it democracv.
We are not interested in ideas that are parroted from
someone else. Breathing puppets do not impress, us. If the
Committee is attempting to rule, why must it do so through
intermediaries and not in person? Is it because the great
mass of students who know little about it might become
angrv and resist?
A final question in reference to Miss Kauffman's letter:
Why did she beg pledges to participate in the Sigma Chi
Queen Contest as she said she did if she thought it was
cheapening and tacky as she also said she did?
This defies an answer.

To the editor:
If the Kernel is going to persist
in writing editorials filled with
destructive criticism, then I wish
the facts would be presented clearly and precisely. Last week the
Kernel wrote about the "self ap

pointed committee of five" who
decided that the Sigma Chi Queen
Contest should be revised. Actually
the committee was made up of
Dean Seward, Dean Martin, Brucie
Cruise, John Prof itt, Sharon Miller, three members of Sigma Chi,
and a representative from Panhellenic. This makes a committee,
of 9, four of whom were not
mentioned.
The committee discussed:
(1) the purpose of the derby
(2) the cost of the derby
(3) the various events of the
derby
(4) the queen contest
Since the president of Panhellenic could not attend the meeting, I was the representative of
that group. I spoke for my group
only, since the queen contest had
not been discussed In Panhellenic.
In the past, we have had to beg

This is not to take issue with:
him on whether social sciences students are particularly bright. But
apparently physical sciences and
physics students in the upper divisions are not very smart or el.v
are out of place in those fields,
if as many as he says make such
low grades. The only other answer
possible is that the professors in,
the two areas are stupider than
the students, if they let such idiots
get into the upper division.
Mr. name withheld's statistics
might indicate that professors outside the fields of physical sciences
are more discriminating about who

UNIVERSITY SOAPBOX

Operations Of Kernel Are Discussed By Staffer
By JOHN EGERTON
Every Friday morning, several thousand copies of the
Kentucky Kernel are distributed across the campus of
the University. Its presence is welcomed by some, criticized by others and Ignored altogether by a few.
The Kernel is the student voice of the University. Its
primary purpose for existing is to provide news and
srrvice to the students of the University; in the process
t carrying out this purpose, It has been praised and
Blasted, defended and ridiculed. It has been called
almost everythlnf conceivable, from a brave and fearless
Newspaper to a shopper's guide, from a service journal
to a propaganda sheet. Its very existence makes the
Kernel a much talked about, much misunderstood paper.
Kernel has received
The slightly greying.
its share of battle scars over the years; it has survived
administration clashes, student wrath and faculty indignation enroute to becoming a pretty fair newspaper.
It has also brought questions to the lips of a great
Siany readers. Why is there so much advertising in it?
Why Isn't there better coverage of campus news? Why
does the paper Ignore news of national and world importance?
These and other questions are debated in all corners
of the campus. Sometimes possible answers are offered;
occasionally, assumptions are niade. Unfortunately, the
correct answers are seldom given.
Except for the handful of people who put the Kernel
together, there are only a few within the University
community who have had the opportunity to learn the
answers to these questions. Perhaps you have been
asked some of them, or maybe you have a.ked them
yourself. If such is the case, a little inf
