SUB, Jess Gardner, chairman of the
directory committee of the Student
Government Association, said this
week.

The directories, which are distributed without charge, are pocket-size- d
this year, and contain 72
pages.

Information for each student includes his Lexington telephone number, home address, college, class, and
his Lexington address. Also included in the directory are the
names, addresses, and telephone
numbers of administrative officers,
deans and directors, heads of general offices and bureaus, directors of
the libraries, and officers of student
publications.
A section in the back of the directory lists information about residence units for men and women,
sorority and fraternity houses, and
student organizations, together with
the names of the presidents of the
organizations.
Gardner said several errors appeared in the book because registration cards were hard to read in
many instances. In cases of incomplete information, he added, that information was omitted on registration cards.

There will be no more out of state

Bryant Plans Fitting Climax A Quick Review, Covering
To UK's Football Season
Fraternity Scholarship,
Coach Bryant put a fitting climax on UK's
football season with the announcement, following the Wildcats Cotton How l victory, that the
University would disco?Uinne recruiting out of
state football players.
This move should lo a great cleal to eliminate
one of the most objectionable aspects of modern
big time footlttll, high pressure recruiting.
Should the move Ix adopted by other universities, it might well prove a great factor in reducing the
competition that has caused
much ill feeling between schools in the past.
Even if it is not adopted by other schools, it
should put an end to much of the adverse publicity UK has received for its recruiting
methods.
In a letter to Tlie Students Speak, one student
has expressed fear that the Bryant plan may
make it difficult for Ke ntucky to frrld teams of
the sr.me calibre as those who have represented
the University in recent years. We doubt that
this will be the result. Although Kentucky does
have far fewer high school football teams than
do many other states, it also has much less competition from schools" Vitirin the state than do
most other major universities.
Such a program may well result in occasional
poor teams, however. Hie real test of the workability of the plan then, 'will he the reaction of
fans to these "lean" years.. Again, as always, the
ultimate decision is that of the fan.
A word of caution: the new recruiting plan
cannot be judged as to its effectiveness until at
least four years have passed. Many out of state
athletes are here on scholarships now, and those

scholarships which have been offered to players
next year will lie honored, so it will actually lie
the '57 season before the out of state players will
be in their proper proportion under the new
plan.
Regardless of how well this plan works, it
for all the
should not be considered a cure-al- l

step toward the correction of one of those ills

Band Trip Proves
Past Forgotten
Several complaints have come to.us from band
members regarding their treatment on the. Cotton Bowl trip. Evidently they have justifiable
grievances.
Band memljers made tlie trip by train a very
old train widiout air conditioning. Their lodging for the one night they spent in Dallas was
provided by the Salvation Army. As a whole
the trip was not a very enjoyable or restful experience, we imagine.
We could be wrong, but from here it looks
like part of the $123,000 Kentucky received for
participating in the Cotton Bowl might have
been used to provide better trip conditions for
the Band widiout placing the University in dire
financial straits. Perhaps we're forgetting too
soon that not long ago The Best Band in Dixie"
was about all Kentucky fans had to cheer about
at football games.

finally cryatalized in the recent
proclamations of none other than
the head of our Universit&JPresident
Herman L. Donovan.
He stated, in effect, that playing
football is the best way we males
can prepare for the future that faces
us (war), that making the football
team is as worthy an accomplishment as achieving scholastic honors.
and that for military leadership he
would prefer a football player to a

Donovan Stand On SAS
By Dorman Cordell

In scholarship, the UK fraternity
system ranks lowest of any state
university south of the Mason and
Dixon line.
This is not just my opinion. This
is the statement of Ralph W. Wilson,
a member of the executive committee of the College Fraternity Scholarship Officers' Association.
Mr. Wilson points out that some
fraternities on the University campus are comparatively high m scholastic standing, but others drag
these down enough to make the
system as a whole the lowest in the
South.
Mr. Wilson cites five fraternities
as high in scholarship in 1949-5Farm House ranked fifth out of 10
chapters; DTD ranked fourth in
68 chapters; Triangle, was fifth of
10 chapters; SAE was fifth of 39
chapters, and PiKA was sixth of 69
chapters.
But Beta Sigma Rho was seventh in rank among seven chapters;
of 37 chapZBT was thirty-seventers; and Delta Chi was thirty-thir- d
of 83 chapters.
If we go further, ATO ranked
seventy-fourt- h
among 77 chapters;
Sigma Phi Epsilon was sixty-fourin 66 chapters; Phi Kappa Tau was
forty-fourof 45 chapters; Alpha
Sigma Phi was twenty-fourt- h
of 28
chapters; Sigma Nu was eightieth
of 81 chapters; and Sigma Chi
ranked one hundred tenth in 112
chapters.
In making the report, Mr. Wilson
seems alarmed that the Kentucky
fraternity system should "year after

year give Kentucky a black eye."
The question is: Are fraternity
members and officials disturbed
enough about the situation to do
something about it?

What's the score, huh? department:
May we quote from a letter by
President H. L. Donovan: "I wish
to congratulate the young men in
the newly formed Student Action
Society who have revealed to the
officials of Lexington the existence
of gambling machines in business
houses near the University, and have
brought about the destruction and
elimination of these machines."
May we also quote from a story in
a certain downtown afternoon paper
whose name we will not mention,
but whose initials are the Lexington
Leader:
"Dr. H. L. Donovan . . . said that
he did not think 'it is the business
of youngsters on the campus to set
up a detective agency, but that it is
their business to

law if they know of any law violation.

In previous issues we have attempted to show
"Dr. Donovan said he believed a failure of the legislature to approve the budget
that Wright (Jesse Wright, presi- increases and the resulting reduction of
the UK
dent of the SAS) overstated the
case when
he said . . . that
the student organization had Dr.
Donovan'svstamp of approval."
TZY
Apparently, the SAS isn't waiting
around for Dr. Donovan to make
up his mind. It takes the credit
for sending the city police on a raid

slot machines plus several slot machine players.
