Five Colleges Release
Probation Estimates

.

By WARREN WHEAT
Tuesday Associate Editor
If probation figures, reported by
five of the UK colleges, are any
indication of an academic trend
on campus, the students placed on
probation will approach an all-tirecord.
The undergraduate students on
probation at the beginning of the
1959 spring semester totaled 22
percent.
Only the Colleges of Agriculture,
Pharmacy, Commerce, Education,
and Engineering would release figures. All stressed the fact that
only approximate figures had been
compiled.
Of approximately 1,052 enrolled
in the College of Commerce last
semester, 342, or 32 percent, have
been placed on probation.
"Any way you lock at it, this is
to many," Dr. Cecil Carpenter
stated. He views the high percentage of probation students as "sensational."
Dr. Carpenter said he didn't
know how many students were actually enrolled in the College of

UK Chamber of Commerce
Offers Employment Service
Despite current weather conditions, it's only 12 weeks until a
majority of UK students will wish
they had a summer job.
The College Chamber of Commerce is standing by to help every
UK student secure summer employment.
As a service project the College
C. of C, in conjunction with the
Commerce Employment Association, is seeking vital statistics from
those who would like to advertise
for a summer job. The group will
will compile the Information in
pamphlet form and send it to
various prospective employers In
the area where the student wants
to work. There is no charge for the
service.
David C. Redding, chairman of
the committee seeking the information, said more than 60 percent of those applying for jobs
last summer through this service

were employed as a direct result
of the information sent employers
from UK.
"Many others who listed with us
found jobs on their own before
school was out or the percentage
would have been much higher,"
Redding said. The chairman
emphasized that the service Is
available to all students.
Students should plainly write
down the following information
and take it to the Commerce Employment Association office on the
first floor of White Hall before
March 10.
Name in full, Lexington address
and phone number, home address
and phone number (in case an employer calls a prospect direct after
school Is out), classification (year
in college), dates of employment
desired, area where student desires
to work, type of work desired, any
special abilities or experience.

Earl Clements was not too evident
but possible in the administration
of Gov. Bert. T. Combs.
"The influence of Clements was
definitely noted in the campaign,"
Morris said, "but as far as I know
he has only been to the capitol
twice since Combs took office."
Clements i s presently State
Highway Commissioner and a
former State Senator.
"Combs is not rigid and inflexible. He will retreat or modify
his stand If the pressure demands
it. In this respect he is apparently
unlike the last governor."
Morris surmized that the first
session of the legislature Is generally the best for a governor from
the standpoint that it is when the

'Assume Offensive,'
Lunger Tells Greeks To Revise
"The time has come for fraternities and sororities to assume the

Dr. Irvin E. Lunger, president of
Transylvania College, speaking at
the Greek Week workshop Saturday morning In the SUB Ballroom,
said Greeks had been on the defensive too Jong.
"Fraternities and sororities are
on tjje defensive to prove that
they 'are an important factor at a
university and a postive force on
the campils," Lunger stated.
In order' to move forward wtih
action aggressively; Lunger
said, "ideas of intellectual, social,
and moral tones on campus must
be personified by fraternities and
sororities."
Lunger said that the purpose of
a university is to help a person
achieve as much maturity as possible in four years.
"Fraternities and sororities must
not be a retreat from these ideas,"
he stated. "They must be a positive
factor of this."

UK Probation Rules
'

By GEORGE SMITH

Probation has created, to say the
least, many problems, much despair,
and loads of confusion.
People are puzzled over the op- eration of the probation rules. The
band has not played at basketball
games because of the loss of many of
its key members A UK basketball
star supposedly made below 2.0
standing, yet is eligible.
The undergraduate student in all
colleges except Pharmacy and Law
is placed on academic probation
when :
1. He fails to attain a standing
of 2.0 during either of his first two
semesters.
2. He fails to have an overall
standing of 2.0 during any of the
first three semesters.
3. He is readmitted to the University after being dropped for
academic reasons.
A student will be dropped from the
University for the following academic
reasons:
1. If he has failed to achieve an
overall of 2.0 after his first two
semesters.
2. If he has failed to achieve an
overall of 2.0 after the first three
semesters for at, least two of those

semesters.
3. If lie fails to accumulate a 2.0
overall after one semester on probation.
Once a student has been dropped
he can be readmitted only after two
semesters have passed, and he has
sufficiently indicated that he intends
'
to buckle downCattl do adequate
work.

'

This may be waived on the grounds
of hardship.
When a student is readmitted, he
las to make a 2.0 in the first semester

that he is back and, furthermore, he
has to have brought his overall up
to a 2.0 by the second semester after
readmission.
Just what can one do when he is
on probation?
A student on probation is not al- lowed :
1. To serve as an officer or a
committee member in any campus
organization.
2. To participate in any University extracurricular activity or to participate in the activity of any University organization if it involves an
"appreciable amount of time."
These rules became effective for
students who were entering the University for the first .time, whether
transfers or freshmen, in September,
1958.

They became effective for all students in September, 1959.
If it was not clear why the UK
basketball player isn't on probation,
his overall standing did not go below
2.0 even though he did not make a 2.0
last semester.
It is your overall, regardless of
whether you are a freshman or a
senior, that determines probation.
There is clearly no discrepancy here.
Why is not the band, which is a
course, not allowed to perform at
-

games?

The ruling on this stems from the
dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The band, tltough a duly constituted course, is judged as an extracurricular activity because the band's
public appearance is representative of
the University.
There seems to be a bit of ambiguity in this ruling that definitely
needs clarification.
And just what the devil is "an
appreciable amount of time."

The Readers' Form
Nonsoeial Sororities
To The Editor:
The sorority girls on this campus
could learn many things from the
dorm girls as a result of the last
weekend's snowball fights.
I was with the group of loys largely
made up of Phi Delts, Tekes, and
Sigma Nus that invaded Sorority How,
the Hose Street sorority houses, and
the girls' dorms.
Most of the girls at Sorority How
didn't even come out to accept the
challenge. After a little fighting there,
we went to the ADPi House and they
began to run inside and say, "Co
away and leave us alone."
We met a little more opposition at
the Chi O ami Tri Delt houses, but
the real battle didn't come until we
went to the girls' dorms.
The dorm girls outnumbered us
boys and really gave us a battle.
Everyone had a great time at last.
This same great time could have
been had at Sorority How if the girls
weren't such squares. They are supposed to be social groups, but they
didn't half participate in one of the
biggest social events of the year.
1 would suggest to all girls that
wish to have a good time in college
to stay out of sorority houses and
live in the dorms.

Charges Slander
To The Editor:
An article published in the Kernel
several days ago led me to believe
you would not publish slanderous
letters. Certainly you were out for
coffee when Wednesday's letter "On
Athletes" crossed your desk and was
forwarded to the "free" press. I seriously question on the wisdom of
g
printing such childish
gibberish. Obviously the writer has
received some distorted information
concerning football players. It is
equally as obvious that he has little
else to boost his ego than
