majority approval for the chance.
Thirty das after this public
notification in the Kernel, a special campusuide election will be
held. At that time, a majority of
the students voting on the proposed ratification must also give
their approval.

At present, Article 4, Section 1
of the constitution states that officers shall be elected by the assembly from among the representatives.
The proposed modification of the
article says: "Officers shall be
elected by a vote. of the student
body from among candidates nominated by the members of the assembly."

John Williams, new Student
Congress president, said the election would probably be held the
first week of May.
The last step in the ratification
is for the faculty to endorse the
change at iis May meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, Jim Daniel formally resigned as president.
He told the
members that his reasons for
quitting were purely academic.
He was given a standiiij ovation

3. At UK it provides a training

in the structure of the admin-

source used as a neutron generator.
The voltage is used to give the
particles high velocity.
The particles from the two accelerators are aimed (as a beam
of light) to bombard various nuclei. Charged particles (from the
2.5 million volt accelerator) are
beamed at nuclei held in thin
metallic films. The neutrons are
shot into n'ole-siz- e
blocks of
pure elements.
Particles are fired at ten thousand billion particles per second.
They are shot into the nuclei of
different elements in a manner
similar to that of a etie ball which
breaks jhe racked pool balls.
In this action, the complex nucleus disintegrates
and makes a
new element. Physicists plot the
distribution of the explosion fragments, what they are, and their
disti ibution in space.
The UK research team is specifically interested in why particular
structures (of the nuclei of various
elements break up in the way they
do when bombarded by particles.
This study is done with special
radiation detectors. The equip

Rattler May Not Rattle
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. fAP)
Contrary to popular belief, the
Eastern Diamonclback rattlesnake,
largest and most poisonous viper
native to North America, doesn't
always sound a warning belore he
strikes.
Another belief that he has to
be coiled to strike also is not
true.
The rattler usually buzzes the
horny rattles at the end of his
tail before striking, but he sometimes neglects to do so. And he
can launch his incredibly fast

Murder Mysteries
QUINCY, Mass. (,V) A Roman
Catholic nun is writing murder
mysteries to help a Puerto Rican
mission.
Sister Paschala began writing
mysteries after an instructor at
Creighton College, where she was
studying on a fellowship, told her
he was "tired of your sweet little
stories. . . . Let's have something
meaty."
She turned out a magazine murder mystery that brought $50 which
she contributed to the poor of the
Dominican mission in Puerto Rico.
Funds acquired through the sale
of all her mysteries will go to the
poor of Puerto Rico, Sister Paschala says.

Preparing Undergraduates

Not many years ago a person could
safely assume that if he went to college and graduated, he would be as
scholastically fit as necessary for his
his encounter with the world. Graduating from college was believed to be
the epitome of the educational ladder,
and any future education was looked
upon as simply a frill nice, but not
necessary.
This line of thought was disturbed
recently when it was noted during
the filth annual Research Conference
that, by 1975, more than a million
students will be enrolled in graduate
schools.
Tl lis leads us to one obvious questionis the prediction of greatly increased enrollment in graduate schools
simply a sign of intellectual hunger,
or is it an admittance of possible

shortcomings

in

undergraduate

schools?
Certainly, it would be foolish to
assume that all undergraduate schools
are in this category. As only one
example, Harvard is universally conceded to be a better university today
than ever before, yet its students flock
to graduate school.
If the answer to this question is
affirmative that is, if undergraduate
study isn't providing an adequate educational background, thereby forcing

students into graduate schools (just
as high schools are lacking and force
students into college), it is time for
a change. If colleges aren't fulfilling
their connoted purpose, it is time
they did.
How can this be achieved? We
would suggest at first thought, more
work in undergradu"graduate-type- "
ate study for students who are willing
and able to participate. We believe,
as was pointed out during the conference, that a closer relationship between undergraduate and graduate
schools is needed. We will go a step
further, however, and say that any
improvement program in graduate
schools should work toward this end.
Graduate work should not be entirely set aside from undergraduate
work, and capable undergraduate students should be afforded the chance
to learn what graduate work is about
through actual participation in it.
The University has taken a step
in this (the right) direction in that
they conduct an Undergraduate Research Participation
Program. We
must note, however, that the program
needs a great deal of expansion before
it can really be effective to the point
of curing what, judging from predictions, is an undergraduate program
which is failing in some way.

Compromise On The Postal Hike

Bills to increase the postal rates
of second and third class matter are
now before Congress. Like most issues, there are two clear extremes
with numerous muddled views in between.
Those against the bill say that an
increase in the rates will threaten the
life of many newspapers and magazines. Simply, they will not be able to
face higher costs of production at the
present time.
Last week, Sen. John Sherman
said a one-cesurCooper
charge on second class matter "would
be very damaging if not ruinous to
many small newspapers." A bill to
raise the second and third class postage rates has already passed the
House of Representatives.
The Daily Iotcan said the bill
"would place the existence of America's thoughtful periodicals in grave
danger."
On the other side, those for the
(R-Ky- .)

bill feel the newspapers and magazines should not receive federal subsidies in the form of favorable postal
rates. They now do.
The post office budget for the
1960 fiscal year, latest available static-tic- s,
show that 2.1 percent of the total
mailincome comes from second-clas- s
ers. It costs the post office 10.8 percent of the income to liandle this
mail. Again, 11.3 percent of the income comes from third-clas- s
mailers
and the cost is 1S.2 percent of the

budget.
This position holds that newspapers and magazines should pay
their "fair" share, even if it means
raising the price of these publications.
Roth positions have merit and a
compromise appears to be the solution. However, the compromise is a
problem for Congress, not the Kernel.

Republicans In Good Shape
By PAUL B. OSBORNE
To The Editor:
It seems the Kernel is intent upon
following the path laid down by the
Courier-Journin the content of its
editorial page: that of presenting a
biased opinion upon the reading public. I refer, of course, to the recent
article on your editorial page entitled,
"A Set of 'Principles.' "
I feel that the newspapers of this
state are oblivious to the simple fact
that Kentucky went for Nixon in the
last presidential election. The Kernel,
unfortunately, seems to fall in this
category also.

While extolling the "flawless" program of Kennedy and ridiculing the
dissension among the Republican
ranks, it has been generally unanimous to blatantly ignore that the
Democrats also are having their
troubles.
At the risk of sounding like someone who demands equal time, I would
like to expand this thought somewhat.
It seems that very few people, insure of where
cluding Democrats,-arthe United States stands in Berlin
and Cuba, Laos and Vietnam. Sure
we're for
but how
does President Kennedy intend to
solve these problems?
A few Democrats want to help the
depressed areas, but a great many
of them are not anxious to help since
a relatively small number of votes
will be influenced.
Isn't there us much dillerence between the ideas and programs of the
Southern conservative democrats and
the Northern liberal democrats, as
there is between Coldwutcr
and
Rockefeller's?

27
crats, including
Democrats (from Such states as Wisconsin, Ohio, Utah, Kansas, Minneand Minnesota),

voted against the bill. Kennedy
blamed the defeat on "narrow sectionalism."

The Democrats are greatly more
divided on federal aid to education
than the Republicans. The Republicans want no aid to salaries, with no
chance of federal control. Democrats"

are for everything from parochial aid
to no aid at all.
Many Democrats are accusing the
President of preparing for the election of '64 and not wanting to help
in the upcoming congressional election.
The great majority of Kennedy's
programs are vague as to whether
or not they will help us as a nation,
but
