new athletic area is In the

the UK Athletics Board received
a develcpnjent report on the huge
new project to be built just south
of Cooper&town.
A huge combined facility is hoped
to be completed within the next
two years.
The proposed area will contain
approximately five practice football
fields, two complete baseball diamonds, four intramural fields, a
new track, tennis courts and dress-in- s
room facilities.
The completion of the project
will leave only varsity and frosh
football and basketball games being played on the present Euclid
Avenue athletic area.
All intramural sports, varsity and
. Irishman-baseballtrack and field
events, and possibly tennis competition will be moved to the new
field.
Architects will start soon on
plans for the dressing: rooms and

The present Euclid Avenue baseball and intramural areas will be
turned over to the University for
whatever purpose it sees fit.
The present football .practice

another Men's dormitory.

meeting is the proposed enlargement of the seating capacity of

meet in tournament play. This year, however, is an exception.
But it docs cause one to wonder why the University follows
its polity of not placing other state colleges. IJernie Shively,
UK. athletic director, explained the policy recently.
Early in this century Translvania and UK developed a
cross-towrivalry which became so hot that .i fracas usually
took place alter the game. The same was true with the Centre
College series later. Injuries resulted from the fights. This
made for bad public relations and the I'imersity had a dilli-cutime with the State Assembly in its financial dealings as
a result. .So the policy was instituted.
The most recent move to break the policy has been by
University of Louisville fans. UK plays the Cardinals in golf,
swimmin?. tennis and other such sports. Now the Cardinals
are a power in the basketball world and want to meet the Cats.
With the already tense rivalry which exists between Louis
ville and Lexington as a starting point, the meeting of the
two teams in basketball would be a real delight. Whether
played in .Memorial Coliseum or Freedom Hall it would certainly be a financial, success and would draw fans from
throughout the state.
The loser of such a contest would hardly sulTer a loss of

championship.
In the SEC, 10 of the 12 teams pair oil against state rivals
at one time or another in the season. The same is the case
across the country.
The old reasons for the policy no longer hold water. Louisville is 80 miles away and fans aren't as bloodthirsty as they
were in those clays of yore. Governor Chandler has intervened
at least once to ask that the policy be changed.
For years sports fans across the state have clamored for a
meeting between the University and other state colleges.
Isn't it past time that this policy be reconsidered by the
board?

This organization supposedly represents you and I, as it certainly
should, and moreover it should and
must continue to do so. Presently,
.some proposals are being considered whereby student representation is to be
Among these proposals are several which call for the allowance
of one representative for each of
30 fraternities and sororities. These
30 representatives would comprise
one half of the total as proposed
by the most liberal of the several
Greek-inspire- d
plans.
Needless to say, such a plan
would not bring about equal representation, since the Greeks account for only about 1,800 of the
nearly 8.000 students on campus.
From all indications, there is at
least a remote possibility that such
a plan will be passed unless we
assert our rights to fair representation. Therefore, I issue an appeal
to all independents to let it be
known that we will not stand by
while our rights are trampled upon
by a minority of snowballing,
partisan officers and representatives in our SGA. Further, I contend that SGA's activities should
be regularly and prominently publicized in the Kernel, and with the
student being so informed, he
should make his sentiment on all
current issues known to his representatives.
Let us all take an interest and

No Ghost

Town Here
The University social calendar
for this weekend had little to offer
the thousands of students coming
from out of state to attend the
NCAA regional finals. But, thanks
to the quick thinking and prompt
action of leaders of four campus
organizations, the visitors will find
no "ghost town" campus here.
On very short notice, representatives of SGA, the
and Newman Club scheduled an
event that should prove interesting
to UK students as well to the

We hope that the visitors will find our hospitality to their
liking. And we hope that they return it by allowing the Wildcats to take a crack at the Louisville meet.
So while happy to have the clubs here, it's only fair to
issue a warning that the Wildcats aren't going to be so hospitable when they take to the playing floor; And it shouldn't
be any other way, Coach Rupp would probably agree.

Professor Says Some Students Ignorant By Choice
By DR. JAMES C. EAVES

liable statistics, that the taxpayers' share per student is
about $1500. Compared to the student's tuition investment, there is not much argument as to whether or not
the student is "paying for it and should be permitted to
do as he pleases."
Other comments seemed to be, "not interested." "rather be a technician." "didn't want to come to college," "not
studying," "don't care, just coming until drafted," "what's
the use to work," "too much outside activities," and "I'm
on probation anyway this is my last semester."
Is it fair to permit all of these students to clutter up
the campus, to stand in the way of the progress of those
attending college with a purpose? Many are caught up
whirlwind and here they are, much
in the
against their will, plans, or desires.
I recently asked a large group of students to let me
know how we could better serve them. The replies were
of little value and were neither interesting nor facetious,
but more on the ridiculous side. "Have two standards of
grading, one for those who want to be squares and one
for those who just want a college degree." one wrote.

another. "Simplify the course and make it more easy
and enjoyable and make out tests that don't take so
long," was another's contribution. "Get more comfortable chairs," was suggested by several. There were many
good suggestions which were put into effect im.nediately,
but most of those given an, opportunity to improve the
situation either took it as a joke or were fairly well at sea.

According to a report from the Dean of Admissions,
about one half of our freshmen and sophomore students
made an average of less than "C", and about one fourth
of the student body is on probation.
Of 28 students called in recently for consultation in
the hopes that we might be able to help them solve their
difficulties, we had the following reactions:
Three were scholarship students but were so overloaded in the field of their scholarship that they readily
admitted that no time was spent on their mathematics,
even though it was prerequisite to the next work in their
field of interest. They were good students but now seemed
to realize their limitations'.
Four students were overly frank in stating, on an
individual basis, that they wouldn't work this hard for a
degree in anything.
Three indicated that they were just not ready to settle
down and study. They were convinced they could do the
work when they really wanted to. In each case it took
