A bid of $3.65 per semester was
low bid approved by Student

the

Congress for the voluntary student Insurance plan.
The bid, submitted by Continental Casualty Co. of Cincinnati, will
be voted on by the student body In
the May 6 SC general election.
Insurance Committee Chairman
Jerry Johnson reported the next
lowest bid of $5.00 was submitted
by Pilot Life Insurance Co.
The same insurance plan can
be had on a year-roun- d
basis for
$15 a year, Johnson said. The reason for the higher price for the
full year plan In proportion to

the semester plan la that In the
summer months most students will
not be on campus where facilities
of the Infirmary are available.
Continental has rated the UK
Infirmary
grade "A" and thus
made a lower rate possible for the
periods when students will be on
campus the greater part of the
time.
Students must be treated at the
Infirmary if possible, because of
the infirmary's high rating.
The policy would provide a maximum of $1,000 for death or serious injury, such as the loss of both
eyes, hands, feet or combination of

any such loss.
Other payments provided for In
the policy would be $225 for any
one operation (for example, an
appendectomy would bring $150),
$14 a day for a hospital room for a
maximum of 30 days. It would also

Student Congress Rejects
NSA Membership Motion
Student Congress decided against cultural exchanges, athletic events

sociation Monday night.
A surprise motion was made by
Garryl Sipple, Arts and Sciences
representative, to vote on NSA
immediately instead of postponing
the measure until a later time as
had been done earlier with a
recommendation that SC join another student government association. .
In the discussion that followed
Sipple's motion, charges were made
that NSA has members of alleged
Communist groups in its advisory
council.
Singled out for particular comment was David Reisman, administrator of an NSA fund to support college integration.
Taylor Jones cited a report by
J. B. Matthews, former McCarthy
Committee counsel, saying Reisman was "one of 61 Chicago
notables" who advocated the abolition of the House
Activities Committee.
Jones also read excerpts from
1955 NSA national convention minutes which advocated that member
schools work within their own
frameworks toward integration of
university facilities, athletic events.

units.
All but one representative voted
against NSA membership.
SC voted to postpone any action
on a recommendation by SC Vice
President Fred Strache that SC
affiliate with the Southern Universities' Student Government Association.
Strache cited the fact that
'membership in SUSGA is limited
to the area, roughly defined as the
South," and therefore might better
serve the regional interests of UK.
Entrance of Kentucky into
SUSGA would be under a new
constitution based on the former
SUSGA constitution, but containing changes recommended by SC,
Strache added.
SC will probably act on SUSGA
at next Monday's meeting.

SC Will Study Drinking Laws
proposal advocating repeal of
the Kentucky state law prohibiting
drinking on public property will
be studied by a Student Congress
committee.
The proposal was made Monday
night by Jerry Johnson. Pete Perl-maSC president, appointed
Johnson, Charles Cassis, Lessley
Decker and Kitty Smith to the
committee.
Johnson also proposed that SC
advocate the lowering of the legal
drinking age to 18. It will also be
studied by the committee.
Johnson said the present Kentucky laws are broken every day.
He cited drinking at athletic contests as an example.
Richard Roberts, Judiciary Committee chairman, said SC was
dealing with matters with which
it was not directly concerned. The
same opinion was expressed by Dr.
Ben W. Black, UK English professor and SC adviser.
Kitty Smith, Arts and Sciences
representative, said one midwest-euniversity had two beer parlors on campus. A motion was
passed to study how that university accomplished it.
Dr. Black said SC should not

To The Editor:
Now that the course of flu shots

say that I appreciate the efficient and
painless procedure devised by the
authorities to get the job clone. The
program enabled me to get my two
shots without waiting around and
without making a trip downtown to
the doctor's office. A short walk

jab, a painless fee, a pleasant word
from the nurse in charge, and the
business was done.

To The Editor:
Gripe, gripe, gripe!
Every time I turn around, someone's griping about the ROTC program. 1 wish, you griping grizzles
would pack up and go home. You
t
instiknew that UK. was a
tution, so why did you come here in
the first place? Still you take eight
credits in ROTC, when you could go
land-gran-

over to Eastern, U of L, or some
other college that doesn't offer, as
you call it, this creep course. On drill
clay there's so much griping and spitting and cussing and blackguarding
that I'm afraid one of these days
the hot air is going to blow Col.
Boughton right off the field.
You know that the colonel, the
captain and the poor old basic can't
do anything about this, so why don't
you write to the President? Why, if
so much of this hot air got out of
Kentucky, it might cause a thaw in
the Cold War. Then we probably
wouldn't need any ROTC.
I just can't see your gripe. I've
learned as much in ROTC as 1 have
in any other class and it took work
to do it. I just got my first stripe
and I feel kinda proud, too. Matter
of fact, 1 may try the advanced course
when the time rolls around. Meanwhile, if you can't do anything better than gripe to the Kernel, just shut
up. Since I'm in a military mood, I
say give 'em hell, ROTC all of those

May Poor Eyes Help Any Artist?
By ALVIN

LONDON

STEINKOrF

(AP)

Are some

art

masterpieces partly the result of
poor eyesight?
Did some of our greatest paint-- i
rs develop styles and mannerisms
of eye diseases and detects?
Are some artists great only
they didn't see well?
These are questions being hotly
debated by Britons since an
eye surgeon analyzed art-eyes on the British Broad-eastin- g
Corp.'s weighty Third Program.
The surgeon told of a German
r.lleague who studied the canvases of an artist he had never
met. The specialist decided the artist was partially color blind. Investigation proved that he was.
Eyeballs of many artists, said
the surgeon, are not perfect
Fpheres. So Images are a little
distorted on their retinas, and the
distortions are recorded on their
i anvases.
These distortions, the broad-tastpointed out, sometimes are
j.ccepted as a master's caprice
a mannerism in which he in-

A more likely reason for the
distortions, the eye surgeon argued,
is hat he records the scene as it
appears to his defective vision.
The elongated figures of the
15th century Spanish master, El
Greco, the surgeon said, might
le explained in this manner.
El Greco's celebrated portrait of
the Grand Inquisitor Don Fernando Nino de Guevara, which
many viewers feel to be over long
from top to bottom, becomes truly
proportioned when It is photographed with a lens correcting
astigmatism, the surgeon related.
"Hans Holbein, the younger, who
tends to broaden his paintings

ihe familiar painting of a very

instance because we find that his
