ADVENTURES IN SOCIAL SCIENCE: NO. 3
Today, ranging again into the fascinating world of social
science, let us take up the subject of anthropology
the study
of man and his origins.
The origin of man was indeed a vexing question until tho
Frenchman, Jean-Loue
Sigafoos, discovered the skull and
of Pithecanthropus Erectus in Java in 1801. (What Sigafoos was doin&in Java is, incidentally, quite an odd little story.
Sigafoos was a Parisian born and bred. By day one could always
find him at a boulevard cafe, sipping Bierc de Kacine and ogling:
the girls; each night he went to a fashionable casino where ho
gambled heavily at roulette and jacks; in between times ho
worked on his stamp collection.

(Well sir, one summer Sigafoos lost his entire fortune gambling at the casino, and he was seriously contemplating suicide
when a ray of hope appeared in an unexpected quarter. It scorns
that Sigafoos, through the international stamp collectors journal, had long been in correspondence with a girl in Java, a
mission-educate- d
savage named Lotus Petal McGinnis, herself
an enthusiastic stamp collector. The nature of their correspondence, though friendly, had been entirely philatelic. Now, suddenly, a new kind of letter came from Lotus Petal. She declared
that although she had never laid eyes on Sigafoos, she loved
him and wanted to marry him. She said she was eighteen years
old, beautiful, and her father, the richest man in his tribe, would
give half his fortune to the husband of her choice. Sigafoo,
in his reduced circumstances, had no alternative; he sold his
last few belongings and booked passage for Java.
(The first sight of his prospective bride failed to delight
Sigafoos. She was, as she said, beautiful but only by local
standards. Sigafoos had serious doubts that her bright red
pointed teeth and the chicken bones hanging from her ear lobes
would be considered chic along the Champs Elysees.
(But sobering as was the sight of Lotus Petal, Sigafoos had
an even greater disappointment coming when he met her father.
The old gentleman was, as Lotus Petal had represented, the
richest man in his tribe, but, unfortunately, the medium of exchange in his tribe was prune pits.
(Sigafoos took one look at the mound of prune pits which
was his dowry, gnashed his teeth, and stomped off into the
jungle, swearing vilely and kicking at sticks and stones and
whatever else lay in his path. Stomping thus, swearing thus,
kicking thus, Sigafoos kicked over a heap of old bones which
what do you know! turned out to be the skull and shin of

Pithecanthropus Erectus.)

...

But I digress
From the brutish Pithecanthropus, man
evolved slowly upward, growing more intelligent and resourceful. By the Middle Paleolithic period man had invented the
leash, which was a remarkable technical achievement, but
frankly not terribly useful until the Mesolithic period when man
invented the dog.
In the Neolithic period came far and away the most important
development in the history of mankind the discovery of agriculture. Why is this so important, you ask? Because, good
friends, without agriculture there would be no tobacco, and
without tobacco there would be no Philip Morris, and without
Philip Morris you would be without the gentlest, mildest, sunniest, pleasantest, happiest smoke that money can buy, and I
would be without a job.

That's why.

'Don't laugh. This could happen to you."

Traffic Problem
Are you the adventurous type? Do you
enjoy scaling high mountains, driving fast
cars, or playing Russian roulette, but find
you can't participate in these interesting little games because the equipment is too expensive? Well, you can stop worrying. The
Kernel has the solution to your problem.
For a thrill a day just walk across the University drive between McVey Hall and Funk-housBuilding.
cr

There's nothing more exhilirating than
playing tag with a speeding automobile.
Imagine yourself standing in the middle of
the street calmly watching a careening car
bearing down on either side of you, the evil
faces of the drivers lering at you over their
steering wheels. What a stimulating decision!
Should you dash for safety or should you
stand your ground like the brave matador
and contemptuouly flaunt your slide rule at
impending death? Ah, what fun!
But what if you are a rich plutocrat and
own an automobile? There are still possibilities. You too can get your kicks. Let us suppose you are engaged in a hotly contested
drag race with a Thunderbird, and a car
pulls out in front of you from the Library
drive, another is blazing down the middle of
the road toward you, directly in front of you

and a gray haired lady is nimbly hopping
across the drive on her cane. This should
arouse the most jaded instincts. In this case
you can either smash into the car directly in
front of you, swerve into the steps on
or grind the old lady into dust.. A
delightful choice.
Undoubtedly this is all a little farfetched,
but the traffic problem between Funkhouser
Funk-Iiousc- r,

and McVey could someday cause a serious
accident. No one seems to know who has the
right of way. Cars clart out the Library drive,
from behind McVey and down the drive
with alarming abandon. Tin's could all be
cleared up with a stop light, three stop signs,
and a couple of marked crosswalks.
Enough traffic pours out of the drive onto
Hose at noon and five o'clock to warrant a
stop light similar to the one installed at Hose
and Columbia. Stop signs should by all
means be placed at the Library junction, behind McVey, and at the corner between
Funkhouser and the home ec building.
, This would give the traffic coming down
the drive" from Hose street the right of wav
and eliminate the confusion caused by cars
coming into the drive from the side streets.
Crosswalks should also be painted across
the drive and large signs placed at the curb
warning motorists to stop for pedestrians.

Voters Needed
Politics, in a famous poem about the Commonwealth, has been called "the damndest"
in Kentucky. Bluegrass citizens, it seems,
have historically maintained a heavy interest in their political battles.
That is why it is discouraging to note the
current apathy among the largest single
identiy-grou- p
of new voters the University
of Kentucky students. Interest in politics at
UK is no greater, and possibly less, than before the voting age was lowered.
.

e
Excluding only the
residents and
the handful not yet IS years old, UK students have been raised to the dignity of voting citizens. College-ag- e
students of only
one other state (Georgia) enjoy this privinon-stat-

lege.
But gifts easily come by, apparently, are
not fully appreciated. Far too many students failed to register in time for the forthcoming May primary; worse still, a large
number of students declare they don't know
who are running in the election, and care
less.

Only about 17 students turned out this
week to listen to a debate between two
prominent Democrats concerning their proponents for the Democratic senatorial nomination. One had to cohclude that either
Kentucky is an extremely weak Democratic

state, or that students are not taking an
in their newly-give- n
franchise.
-- Since this is Kentucky, the latter conclus-i-

nterest

ion is more logical.
Many students fail to realize how attractive their votes must look to a politician.
First of all, the politician knows he must
state his case carefully before a college-leve- l
audience. He is not dealing with
sub-norm-

al

intelligence.
Secondly, the politician knows that a college voter may not only directly affect parents and relations, but also a host of close
associates from all over the state. UK is,
indeed, a coifrmunity of communities.

Thirdly, it is hard to think of any other
large, uncommitted body of voters that may
be reached in one small area, such as at UK.
Virtually everybody that walks across campus is a potential voter.

has not been the policy of Heligious Emphasis Week to bring to
our campus speakers who are profound theologians, but rather
to obtain individuals who arc recognized in their academic
fields and who are professing, active religious people with the
ability to transmit their ideas to students on their own academic
level. Further, for anyone who calls himself a student we cannot visualize an incident when one dull speaker would spoil the
thoughts stimulated by 3 good ones, any more than one dull
professor would cause him to give up his quest for education.
Your criticism of a student being compelled to sit in a class
where the instructor has invited a H.E. Week speaker, whom he
feels will make some worthwhile contribution to his class program, is not valid. For each student who objects to this brief
introduction of religious thinking into his life there are at least
"50 who profit by it in some manner and indeed vould like an
opportunity to hear more such speakers. We are of the opinion
that any. individual, especially a student, who cannot listen to a
religious speaker without becoming upset or annoyed is either
unwilling to think through his philosophy of religion or he is
accepting a philosophy of religion or no religion which he is
afraid to have disturbed by facing other facts.
Most certainly we cannot see that H.E. Week is dying. When
156 meetings are held in 5 days, the majority of which were attended by students on a voluntary basis; this does not indicate
a dying program.

The Kernel indicated that H.E. Week should be left tip to
the students. We would like to remind you that the whole week
was planned and instigated by a committee of over 50 students,
which represents a good cross section of campus thinking.
Again we would say that we feel that the criticism of H.E.
Week was based on judgment derived from one or two contacts,
and that you did not make an honest effort to get the true facts.
U is our opinion that any good newspaper, when it calls attention to defects of a community or program, should have all the
facts and face them lairlv.

Iowa Letter
To the Editor:

The purpose of this letter is not to refute the claims made
by Tom Preston in a recent editorial, but to qualify some of
them and place them in their proper Context.
I'm surprised Adolph Hupp didn't receive harsher comments
s
than the one you quoted. Certainly he overstepped his
when he spoke of Iowa City, "It's just a little corn town
hotel." (Actually he have 4 hotels and only
with one
one of those is shot.)
"Morehead, who's Morehead" expressed our sentiments accurately. Are we to be crucified because we haven't heard of
one of your hamlets? ( Did you know we have a Turkeyscratch,
Iowa? Of course you didn't, nor we Morehead.) If Mr. Preston
d
game, he'll know why Iowa gave player
saw the
Gaunce the boos he rightly deserved. Other than. 11 (winch
Iowa won't forget for a good many years), Morehead had a
good team; hereafter we won't be saying, "Who's Morehead" . . .
no indeed. (We will probably say "Where's Morehead
