Myra Leigh Tobin, Delta
Delta Delta, and nicliard Wat-kinTriangle,. were named the
outstanding Greek man and
woman last night at the annual
Creek Week convocation in
Memorial Hall.

Their selection from a group of
11 finalists was announced by Assistant Dean of Men Kenneth
Harper and Dean of Women Doris
M. Seward.

Miss Tobin and Watklns will be
crowned at the dance tomorrow
night In the Student Union Build-in.

Preceding the announcement
authoress Emily Kimbrough delivered the convocation address
urging everyone "to move out from
isolation of languages and establish channels of communication by

speech."
Miss Kimbrough pointed out that
there was too much emphasis in
schools today on translation of
foreign languages and not enough
on speaking the language.
She suggested that a foreign
language be taught In the first
grade with such aids as songs and
game. This could be substantiated
later by the rules of the language,
Miss Kimbrough added.
As an example of many colleges'
failure to teach language properly.
Miss Kimbrough pointed to Ful- -

bright Scholars

she had talked
with. She said persons receiving
the scholarships now found it
necessary to go abroad before the
term begins in order to be able to
communicate when school begins.
She added, too, that because of
broadening geographic horizons it
is becoming necessary for people
to lead lives in other parts of the
world. Miss Kimbrough said everyone should be aware of the changes
coming about in languages.
Miss Tobin, a vocational home
economics senior with a 3.6 overall
standing, was nominated by PI
Kappa Alpha and Alpha Gamma
Rho fraternities.
During her four years at UK,
a few of Miss Tobin's activities

She was also a counselor for the
freshman YWCA camp in 1959,
and has recived academic awards
on the Honors Day program for
two years.
Miss Tobin was the recipient of
the Danforth Scholarship awarded

"Currently there are a number
of studies underway to determine

Some phases of the program
are a thorough curriculum study,

research to instructional programs and to the salary structure of the University.

* On The Drinking Driver
Like the problems of prostitution
and gambling, the question of what
to do about the drinking driver will
always continue to exist, a Cleveland,
Ohio, judge noted recently.
He is right, in part. So long as
laws against drunken driving are no
more stringently enforced than those
against prostitution and gambling,
the intoxicant will continue to be the
greatest menace on America's highways.
George C. Lowe of Philadelphia,
traffic safety expert for an Eastern
oil refining company, has noted the
laxity of American jurists and legal
codes in dealing with drunken motorists.

Speaking before a Cleveland traffic safety group, Mr. Lowe said, "One
of the most ridiculous situations was
that of a defendant whose drunken
driving resulted in the death of a
father and two sons. For this he was
fined $200. About the same time a
man in another state was fined $500
for killing a deer out of season."
Approximately the same situation
exists in: Kentucky and many other
states. A drunken driver need not
even lose his operator's permit in Kentucky. Depending on the judge in
the area where the drunken driver

is arrested, he may merely

be assessed

four points on the state point system
and fined; some judges may even
change the charge to the less serious
one of reckless driving.
Such practices are in direct contrast to penalties levied in other
countries. In Finland, for instance, a
person receives three years in prison
if caught driving under the influence
of alcohol. If such an offender is involved in a traffic accident, he will
be given a
sentence.
, San Salvador's measures are equally as stringent. A drunken driver involved in a traffic accident there must
remain in jail until the persons he has
injured are completely well.
We do not urge that measures
quite as harsh as those we have cited
be adopted, but we do feel a reeval-uatio- n
of the laws concerning drunken driving are called for. The National
Safety Council has estimated that almost one out of every three fatal
motor vehicle accidents last year involved a drinking driver. Thus, drink0
ing drivers killed approximately
people last year.
Until there is some greater legal
compulson to do so, we must all cooperate in keeping the Christmas:
spirits off the highways.

remained a costly way to create fight-unitThe constant change of men,
as new ones come and experienced
soldiers depart, diminishes a unit's efficiency. It means that a platoon or
crew cannot remain together for long,
fully accustomed to working as one.
An
force ought to be more
efficient and economical. Whether
enough men can be recruited remains
to be seen. Also to be answered is
the question whether, having so misused the time of many conscripts, the
Army will be more competent in training its Regulars. It will be under less
scrutiny from outside, and so more
prone to its old ideas of "soldiering."

Purrhaps Wurr
Jest Too Old
Possibly, Mr. I. J. Pitman is right;
perhaps a new alphabet with 43 characters, including 23 of the 26 now in
use, would help children to learn to
read more rapidly. Presumably Mr.
Pitman, grandson of the founder of
the shorthand method, has given the
matter more thought than have we.
But for the life of us, we can't see
why the words bone, done, gone, and
one are any easier to learn when spelled boen, dun, gon, and wun. And we
can't enthuse over a sentence which
reads: "An Inglishman landing in Nue
York duz not lern a nue spoeken
as a Frenchman wood."

THE READERS' FORUM
Waste Of Time
To The Editor:
To say the least it is unusual for
the Kernel to ask a faculty member to
Prof. Robert O.
review Stylus
Evans.
Was it the history and significance
of our literary magazine that was to
be reviewed (in the Dec. 8 Kernel)
or the current issue of the same? In
any event, neither received complete
attention from the reviewer.
After five paragraphs of "rah, rah"
Stylus, we are finally shown facts
which cover the prose part of the
magazine quite accurately; then, and
once he has asserted that "Stylus is
better suited for lyric poetry rather
than prose," our guide flies over the
"better suited for" subject. We are
left hungry for his opinions on the
matter of poetry, but he excuses himself saying there is not space enough
(what about the first five paragraphs
of meaningless chatter?)
Once in the art section, the reviewer mentions one by one the published works, finally arriving at the
photograph of four earthenware
pieces by Phillip Harris." We understand that the published object of art
was the ceramic work, not the photograph. Could it be that this is a subtle
attack on the pots, this ethereal way
of ignoring them?
But it is closing time, and I don't
feel like abusing the editor's generosity. The job of wasting space has been
well taken care of in the review.

Draft Ends In Britain
National Service has claimed its
last men? After those who entered the
forces last week no more are to be
called. T)ius, when last week's intake
emerges "in 1962, an unloved institution will end. National Service was
necessary, but the gross misuse of
conscripts by the Army was not. Many
have been
millions" of
wasted through the complacency and
incompetence of the War Office and
of lower, commands. The Navy and
the RAF have not been above reproach in their use of men, but they
have never been so irresponsible as
parts of the Army.
The training of recruits has been
symptomatic of the ills common in
the Army's approach. Even when rearmament was most urgent, in the
days of the Korean war and of Rhine
Army's expansion under General Eisenhower, tank crews were spending
seven or eight times as long on drill
parades as on the essentials of tank
driving or tank gunnery. They were
being shipped overseas and perhaps
still are with boots which shone superbly and with belts blancoed to perfection, but with only a scanty knowledge of the skills that mean life or
death in action. Complaints in Parli-meand through the press left the
War Office unmoved.
Soon the Army is to lose its National Service men. If it had made
better use of its men in the past fifteen years the opposition to conscription might have been less strong. But,
even if it had done so, this would have

Relax, Mr. Morris
To The Editor:
Upon reading the letter to the
editor written by Mr. Wes Morris
Thursday I was and am deeply concerned. What sort of inane, bigoted,
unloyal clod are you to publicly criticize those things that are so near and
dear to us, the students of UK?
Are you a beatnik?
To see you bitterly denounce campus culture crushed me, Mr. Morris.
Why, boy, look around you and what
do you see culture leaping at you,
falling on you, entwining around you.
Culture with a capital "C." And you
say . . . why, Mr. Morris, how could
you? Let me name a few of the
culturous avenues available
to you and me here at UK.

FRIDAY NEWS STAFF

We have a marching band that
spells "CATS"; we have a theatre in
which "real live" plays are produced;
we also have four choral groups that
perform once a semester anyway; we
have an art gallery that houses some
of the finest blobs of the day, I'm
told; we have the UK basketball team.
g
Furthermore we have a
newspaper. M a n,
what more could you want? I'll bet
that you yelled for Tennessee.
Your arguments concerning .our .
student government are childish, Mr.
Morris. I, who have not had the opportunity of attending another university, have probably been here longer than you and have found that unless, you happen to be one of those
rare individuals who enjoys being
punched in the nose it is best not to
knock campus politicians publicly. Reserve this for the coffee house for
your own safety. And, after all, Mr.
Morris, without these leaders on
whom you and I depend, who would
organize and tend to their many
duties such as providing Hie students
with Fats Domino concerts, with student directories, and the annual bike
race.
For shame, Mr. Morris, don't buck
the system; incorporate the typical
attitude, "To hell with it all," relax,
enjoy yourself, or you may find yourself in a terrible position. Someone
might ask you to tie the bell around
the cat's neck and that might prove
embarrising, huh?

We offer either our sympathy to
the editors cf the. schedule book for
the spring semester for falling vicing
tims to the newspapers
typographical errors
or our congratulations to the Physical
Education Department for broadening its curriculum.
Sympathy is probably appropriate
as the new course, PE 1201, is surely
an example of type gremlins at work.
If not, it may become the most
popular course at the University.

Guignol Play Praised By English Instructor
William Ilerney, carefully skirt
these possible weaknesses. The Inhabitants of Bock Creek, each
such a positive character that he
is almost a grotesque, merge to
form a microcosm of power and
urgency, In which the fated lovers
meet opposition of appreciable
magnitude.
And each character Is so interesting in himself, so vigorous and
sharply drawn, that the persons
never seem like mere pawns moving in deadly concert towards a
conclusion.
Miss Ford and her cast do well
indeed with this difficult vehicle.
The set, the lighting, and the
blocking of action are consistently
visually effective and lend admirable substance to the forward
movement of the play, Lynn
Smith handles her Barbara Allen
role with assurance and finish,
easily persuading the audience of
the girl's vitality in the face of
foreordained death.
Don Galloway, as the witch boy
who turns human, is entirely adequate in his human guise, although somewhat less so in the
first and last scenes, where he as
a witch must demonstrate an emphatic contrast with his other appearances as mortal. This he does
not quite bring off.
Some of his stiffness in the first
