The Hours System
One aspect of the University
which needs serious examination
is the credit hours system. Any
veteran student will attest that
r
courses require as
most
much timcand work as three-hou- r
courses.
two-hou-

The present system places a
tremendous strain on a student
who is forced to schedule several
r
courses for the same
semester. It would be possible
for a student carrying several
r
courses to have a much
rougher load than another student carrying all three- - and four-hocourses. However, the stuclasses

would receive less credit toward
graduation.
The academic standards of the
University have been increasing
in recent years, and it has become necessary for most students
to increase their academic load.
Students have found an increased
work load which includes two-hocourses adds extreme strain
and pressure.
Administrators and college
deans can argue that students
should recognize the amount of
work required in certain classes
and should not schedule more
than they can handle. This is
true, but a student must achieve
a certain number of credit hours
to receive a degree, and some
of the required credits are two-hocourses. Therefore, it becomes impossible to take a light
"credit" load and still compile
the required number of hours
within a reasonable period of
time.
A student who has too many
classes spends all his time with
.'petty details. Fewer courses with
more credit to each course would
allow students time to do more
research and to grasp completely
the material offered.
Likewise, professors might be
more effective in their instruction
if they were responsible for only
two or three larger classes rather
than several courses of less credit.
We hope that as the University begins implementing its academic plan, an examination of the
credit hours system will reveal
the value of fewer courses, with
a greater emphasis on the
material in each course.

UK's Loss
One of the University's most
dedicated employees died Wednesday, but she will not be forgotten
by the thousands of students who
attended UK during her tenure as
librarian. Miss Margaret I. King
was.UKTi fitst librarian,'. and she
served the University community'
selflessly for many years.
UK's present library is rightfully named in honor of Miss King,
for she led the growth of the library
from a few hundred books to some
e
500,000 volumes with 56
staff members.
full-tim-

Most students now attending
UK did not know Miss King per-

sonally, but all University students,
both in the past and in the future,
will have received a better education through her efforts to build
a great library.

Timeliness
student seeking absolutes
within the University community is
bound to be frustrated.
For example, the University cannot even offer an absolute time of
day. Literally.
A recent Kernel check using a
faithful .watch showed that times-oclocks in University buildings

SEEKING ABSOLUTES?

within the triangle of Funkhouser
Building to the Library to the
Journalism Building showed a variation of a full eight minutes in
times recorded. Somewhat frustrating, we imagine, for the student
rushing to class. For instance, a
student can leave McVey Hall at
ten minutes before the hour, take
one minute to walk to Funkhouser
Building and be one minute late
for a class beginning on the hour.
Perhaps significantly, McVey
Hall, which houses the English
Literature department, is more behind the time than its scientific
and journalistic neighbors.
While we hardly argue in favor
of absolutism as an underlying
philosophy for instruction at the
University, we think it is applicable in certain situations. An example is those clocks, which have
been avoiding sychronization for
nearly a generation now.

The Kentucky Kernel
University of Kentucky
1894

SC Election Explained
of the Kernel:
In any election an interested and
intelligent press is as vital to the
democratic process as are the
counters, the election officials, and
the candidates themselves. However, the election committee feels
that some of the charges expressed
in Friday night's editorial merited
a reply.
Because in a campus election
there are no formal voting booths,
no official policing system, it is
impossible to make the entire operation run as smoothly as a state
or national election. Some "group
voting" and some campaigning too
near the polls are unavoidable evils
in our system. With a limited
budget and with a large slate of
candidates these inherent evils are
rather difficult to control. (IBM
cards for voting may be a solution.)
During the election, the committee was on hand at all times,
checked each poll frequently, and
investigated all complaints during
the day.
The editor's statements regarding the possibility of partial
counters were unfounded. All ballots were triple checked by different
counters before being registered.
(A Kernel photographer was present
throughout the entire evening
taking pictures and witnessing the
procedure.)
A conscientious effort to follow
ethical procedures was made, and
the committee feels it was success-fiin making the election an
honest one.

Insult To; Rights
Despite recent liberalizing steps
in the field of civil rights, a law
remains in several southern states
which is a clear denial of citizen's
rights.
Miscegenation laws, prohibiting marriage between Negroes and
whites, are an insult to individual
liberties. A Negro and white now
who marry face criminal prosecution and nonacknowledgement of
their marriage. In many states the
survivor of a mixed marriage is
denied inheritance rights because
the state refuses to recognize their
union as valid.
Failure to outlaw these archaic
restrictions specifically has been
a weakness of recent civil rights
bills. Intermarriage, an underlying
spark plug in the fire of politically-powerful
segregationists, aphas been too flammable
parently
an issue for the political arena,
though marriage is inherently a
much more private affair than other
areas where Negroes recently have
won their rights.
Finally a Southern couple involved in intermarriage has announced plans to challenge the
ordinances in the Supreme Court.
I hope the court will be able to
remain more aloof from the absurd
screams of the
southerner than the politicians.
Miscegenation ordinances are
as much a violation of civil rights
as poll taxes and other ordinances
which recently have come under
attack by liberal political leaders.

Cub an Exiles Encourage Ouster Of Castro

Left wing Cuban exiles have

quietly begun

a

hemisphere-wid-

e

campaign to encourage veterans
of Fidel Castro's 26th of July
movement still wielding power
in Communist Cuba to topple
Castro and establish a socialist
democracy.
To even contemplate so hazardous an undertaking, potential
dissidents inside the army and

that they, in turn, would not be

counter-revolutioIndeed, the
26th of July movement has remained faithful to Castro partly
out of fear that a conservative,
Batista-typ- e
regime w ould return.
Accordingly, Cuban exiles
o
left arc seekfrom the
ing public and private statements
of support for a leftist
Cuba from key governments in the hemisphere. Officials in Venezuela and Chile,
Latin America's two most prestigious governments on the democratic left, have been approached.
It is hoped that, in time, the U.S.
also would join.

The potential Cuban rebels
would have to commit themselves
privately to these steps: Castro's
ouster; an end of the Moscow-Havan- a
alliance; a return of civil
liberties (including free elections); application for Cuba's
readmission to the Organization
of American States.
On the other hand, Cuba
would remain neutralist and socialist. Properties expropriated
from U.S. businessmen by Castro
would remain
nationalized
probably without compensation
to the old owners. Nevertheless,
this kind of Cuba would be infinitely preferable to the present
Communist police state and
would constitute a major defeat
for communism in Latin America.
Cuban experts in official
Washington tend to be most
skeptical about such grandiose
plans. While acknowledging the
political and economic problems
afflicting Castro today, they believe he can weather the storm.
Yet there are reasons justifying at least some hope. One is

that the power of the old 26th
of July movement is greater than

at any time since the first years
of Castro's power.
Here is the reason. The break
and Peking
between Castro
means
Cuba's Chinese-styl- e
Communists arc totally removed
from power. But Castro's closer
tics with Moscow have not resulted in new domestic pow er for
Soviet-styl- e
Cuban Communists.
Bather, as Castro becomes
more dependent on Bussian
he relies more on the 26th
of July movement to counter
Commuindigenous
nists in Havana. For instance,
Lazaro Pena, the Moscow-oriente- d
labor leader who has survived purge after purge, is
to be on his way out
this summer.
Thus, it is the hope of the left
wing exiles that if the 26th of
can get outside encouragement from democratic
governments through out the
it can use its
hemisphere,
increased power to move against
Castro within a year or two.

Emilio Nunez Portuando, a
and now a
leading conservative exile, is calling for an army revolt. Perhaps it
is no coincidence that Nunez has
worked closely in the past with
the Central Intelligence Agency
and that theCIA has come around
to the same position.
The covert CIA operations
aimed at armed overthrow of
('astro through the exile movement, which continued longal'ter
the Bay of Pigs fiasco, are finished. The CIA's operation in
Cuba is now restricted to intelligence gathering.
However remote it may seem,
then, the only hope of freeing
Cuba resides with the left wing
soldiers and politicians
who
fought beside Castro in Oriente
province. If that hoi' can be
fanned by encouragement from
Washington and other capitals of
the hemisphere, it is an effort
worth pursuing.

Havana. Although no announcement was made, Castro's own
airplane was "accidentally"' shot
down by a Cuban gun crew on a
recent flight from Santiago to
Havana. Castro was saved
at the beach resort of
Varadero before the final leg to
Havana.
There is even belated realization by right wing Cuban exiles
that only a coup d'etat or revolt
inside Cuba can oust ('astro.
