The senate with 18 members will
use the house of representatives as
its link to what every woman student is thinking. Miss Patterson
said while acting in the programming capacity, the senate will plan
the Stars in the Nights program,
which honors outstanding campus women.
The senale will be composed of
a president, who will preside over
the house of representatives; the
vice president; and two representatives each from the freshman,
sophomore, Junior, and senior
classes.
Also Included in the senate will
be a representative of Panhellenic
who will be a sorority woman elected by the Greeks. She will act as
coordinator between the sororities
and the senate.
Another woman will be elected
from the residence halls who will
act as the link between the dormitories and the government body.
The Women's Advisory Council
will also be represented in the
senate as well as the house of representatives.
Miss Patterson said that the
for the offices of president, vice president, Panhellenic
delegate, and women's residence
representative will hold seats in
the senate.
The house of representatives is
the real communications link between every living unit and the
government. They are all represented in the house and not necessarily in the senate, Miss Patterson explained.
The AWS steering committee,
composed of representatives from
every University women's organization, has been planning the
structure and functions of the new
government since early in the year.

Ag Science Center
Gets More Funds

An additional $1,()(X),(X)0 w as made available to the Uni- versity Tuesday night to begin construction of the Agriculture
Science Center.

Gov. Bert T. Combs, speaking to
the Blueprint for Kentucky Agriculture Committee, made the announcement and said he hoped to
find enough money to keep the
project moving.
Another $2,000,000 required to
complete the center will be in the
192 budget. Robert F. Matthews,
state finance commissioner, said.
The state previously had budgeted $1,000,000 for the center, and
other funds will come from the
federal government.
Ground for the agriculture complex was broken in January. The
center will be located on Nicho-lasvll- le
Road, south of the Medical Center.
Work will begin this fall on the
first phase, a four story glass and
brick structure, to include the main
building, which will house laboratories for research workers and
University personnel. Work should
be completed in 18 months.

Most Fraternity Officers Say
Deferred Rush Helped Grades
Most fraternity officers seem to feel that deferred rush has boosted academic scholarship since
no fraternity was placed on probation this semester.
Bob Smith, president of Lambda Chi Alpha,
says he is very much in favor of the deferred rush
system, because it eliminates the possibility of extremely low pledge standings.
"It was hard getting started, because It lessened
the number of men out for rush in the fall, but
it seems to be working out pretty well now," Smith
said.
Phi Sigma Kappa president, Ed RoyaL said,
"There is no doubt that the new system has affected our scholarship. This is my fifth year here,
and the pledge standings have always brought
down our average in the past," he added.
Bob Matlock, vice president of Sigma Nu, feels
that deferred rush is definitely an advantage

"We Initiated more pledges this year than in
the past three or four since we had to wait until
the rushees made their grades," Matlock said.
"The new system made all the difference In the
world," Fred Haas, Pi Kappa Alpha president, said.

"Since our pledges averaged a 2.86 last semester,
this Is a definite sign of improvement. I think these
men have now developed their study habits, and
chances are good that their grades will continue
to be high in the future," he continued.
Bob Smith, Alpha Gamma Rho president, agrees.
"The deferred rush system has certainly helped
us Improve our scholarship.. Wa received a scholarship trophy this semester from our national chapter," he continued.
"I think the system has helped," said Bob Eraser, president of Phi Delta Theta. "However, our
strict scholarship program this year, requiring
actives with below a 2.5 standing to attend study
hall, is probably more responsible for our average,"
Fraser added.
The group which showed the greatest amount
of improvement was Alpha Tau Omega.
"The system might have helped raise our standing from a 1.9 to a 2.5, but I think our study hall
was the main contributing factor," Ronnie Moss,
ATO treasurer, said.
Bill Uzzle. vice president of Sigma Chi, said
that deferred rush hurt the standings of the active
members because the rush period was too long.

part of the Kentucky Derby Festival April 27 to May 6.

She Figures For Men
A business
CHICAOO (AP)
woman whose career requires her
to delve into the personal financial lives of professional men says
her theater training gives her confidence' to deal with them.
Marie A. Stumb, a student of
Voice and ballet in Paris, France,
in the 1920s, turned to the business world when a serious auto
accident ended her stage ambitions.
Today she analyzes the financial affairs of doctors, businessmen and corporation executives.
As an expert on estate, tax and
Insurance matters, she tells them
how to prepare their wills, distribute their estates and provide for
retirement Income.
Theatrical Experience Helps
Mrs. Etumb still gets stage fright
as she meets each new client to
discuss the delicate business of
cMate planning. But her theatrical experience has helped.
"Theater training gives you a
lot of self assurance," she says.
Because when you first go on the
you get butterflies in your
ftomach. It's the same every new
performance. But after a few days
the nervousness goes away.
More Butterflies
"It's the same when dealing with
men. I'm always filled with butterflies. It lasts until you put them
at ease with low pressure techniques and acquire their confidence.
Only then will they go ahead and
give you the cooperation you need
In the study."
Mrs. Stumb has investigated the
affairs of some 450 clients who
have accepted her Insurance underwriting suggestions.
The value of estates she sets
up range from $100,000 to 30 million dollars.
The ages of the men In her business life range from doctors of
25 to executives in their 60s.
Leading Woman Underwriter
Mrs. Stumb Is among the nation's top 10 women who rank in
class of annual
the million-dolllinsurance underwriting. She has
been the leading woman underwriter for her company. (Northwestern Mutual.)
Born in Iseghem, Belgium, Mrs.
Stumb came with her parents and

brother, Joseph Mallsse, to Detroit, Mich., when she was 7.
Her father, a successful builder,
financed her theatrical training.
She studied in Paris In the mid
1920s.

Appeared in Movie
There she appeared In a movie
the Royal Film Co., and danced
by
in a play entitled "J'aime" at the
Theater des Bouffes Parisien.
Returning to Detriot in 1929, she
was swept into the social and
sports world of the era. In 1930,
on the eve that she was offered
a part In a Broadway with Peggy
Joyce In "Blue Orchids," tragedy
struck.
She had Just been horseback
riding. As she stood in a safety
zone, an automobile slashed into
her, ripping the calf muscle from
her right leg. A riding boot saved
her from more serious damage.
But her theatrical days were at
an end.
Studied Law
Marie A. Stumb went to work
in a law office, learned accounting, then came to Chicago. For
three years she studied law at the
John Marshall Law School, later
applied her knowledge to insurance.
Today sheis to busy for sports.
Nor does she miss the limelight
of the stage.
"Insurance Is very definitely a
good career for a woman," she
says.
"It was the beginning of a new
chapter for me. and I can honestthe brightly and truthfully say
est of my career."

Unusual Homecoming

In light of the sudden discovery
that this year's Homecoming will fall
in the middle of the Thanksgiving
holiday, we feel safe in predicting
that the 1961 Homecoming will be
one of the most unusual in the history of the University.
With the campus almost devoid
of students, Homecoming will be
turned over to the alumni both genuine and streetcar varieties and we
will undoubtedly find many past
graduates somewhat bewildered by
the fact that their old fraternity and
sorority houses will be closed or at
best sparsely populated.
If things are left to stand as they
now do, it will be a Homecoming in
name only one distinguished by a
lack of fraternity and sorority displays
and the youthful exuberance that has
marked past events. The title of
Homecoming queen will be a hollow
one with most of the stands empty
of the exultant sponsoring groups that
have made the queen contest what
it is.
The Tennessee game was chosen
for Homecoming by an alumni committee and we can understand its
choice. As Miss Helen G. King,
director of alumni affairs, explained
it, there were only three afternoon
games, from which to choose. One

Williams of Delaware, has
made a kind of legislative career out
of letting light into the darker corners of government. His latest performance features some soilbank operations under the famous Agriculture
Department
program which pays
farmers for not farming their land.
Sen. Williams summarizes his findings
all checked through the comptroller
general, as follows:
In a big farm estate settlement in
Colorado in 1957 one of the estate
managers was allowed to buy a 6,960-acr- e
ranch at $20 an acre, with 10
years to pay the $139,200 purchase
price. But he didn't have that kind
of money in hand, so he worked out
e
a
plan as follows: He would
cut the ranch into six sections. He
would lease each section to a tenant.
He would get each tenant to agree
to put the maximum allowable of the
leased land into the soilbank. The
government rental for soilbank land
in that part of the country was $7

choice at best; another was" with
Florida State, a nonconference opponent. The alumni always try to
make Homecoming a game with a
Southeastern Conference team, which
left only the contest with the Volunteers. Discounting the alumni's
criteria, the Tennessee game certainly presents a more attractive
Homecoming contest to the alumni
than either of the other possibilities.
But in spite of all this, we wonder
why an alumni group should be given
the entire responsibility for choosing
the Homecoming date. That students'
wishes and convenience are not considered at all or are relegated to a
position secondary of those of the
alumni is apparent. In selecting a date
for an
weekend, students
should be consulted.
There must be, as has been so
pointedly made clear by this incident,
a reevaluation of the role alumni play
in selecting a Homecoming date. And
there could be no better time to
start than now. The criteria of the
alumni should be considered, but in
cases such as this, they must be
thrown out and plans made that will
be more satisfactory to all.
If something isn't done, we trust
the alumni will have a nice time with
Homecoming all to themselves.

an acre. This meant that over a
period the government would be
paying $70 per acre to keep out of
cultivation land originally purchased
at $20 an acre. This soilbank money
each tenant would pay over to the
land purchaser as rent, having the
balance of the leasehold free to cultivate. The purchaser in turn would
meet the installments on his original
purchase price out of this soilbank
money. Before launching the deal,
the purchaser checked with the local
government soilbank committee and
got assurance that it would approve.
The government payments on the
soilbank portions of the land came
to about $27,000 a year. Multiplied by
the 10 years of the contract, this
means the ingenious purchaser of the
original ranch will gross $271,000. As
Sen. Williams summarizes: At the end
of this
period Mr. X will have
$131,800 in cash profit, plus a 6,960-acr- e
ranch, all paid for by the American taxpayers.

To The Editor:
When one is first tempted to discuss an issue of so controversial a
nature as toilet tissue, he is immediately filled with doubt and hesitancy
for fear that he will be unable to
carry out a task of such magnitude
without violating the rules of good
taste. The writer is forced to walk a
knife edge of propriety and is in constant danger of slipping from this
precarious position at any moment,
especially if he is an inveterate
punster. However, since you have
set a precedent by giving the matter
front page exposure in the April 14
issue of the Kernel, & closer examination of this entire matter seems imperative if we are to get to the lot-toof it.
