The Role Of Spindletop

Lustful, Evil Sex

To The Editor:
Will the Kernel lay the flying rumors about the role, of Spindletop by
publishing a recount of the known
facts and public pronouncements?
I'm not sure at this point who really is the owner of the Hollow Hall
of Ivy, nor what was paid, nor what
is owed, nor even whether it is true
as I heard today that it is to be used
as a rest home for retired governors.

To The Editor:
I would like to add a few comments of my own concerning the story
which appeared in the Kernel (Thursday, April 23) about sex.

Constructive Courage

My congratulations to the anonymous writer of today's editorial entitled "The Hollow Hall." I was personally present at the grand opening
of UK's answer to the Taj Mahal and

people.
While I have, in the past, considered the editorial policy of the Kernel
to be somewhat trite, I must say that
I consider this job of editorial writing
to be not only courageous, but also
highly constructive. I am sure it represents the attitude of a large segment
of the student body, for whom the
school is supposed to exist.
I think it is both remarkable and
gratifying that the University is permitted to have a newspaper which is
apparently free from administrative
censure and restraint. For this, the
administration is to be highly commended. A continuation of that policy
will assure that the University will
continue to turn out fine and outspoken newspapermen.

The city of Lexington, at long last,
has deemed it important enough to
install a traffic light with dual red
blinkers for stop traffic at the corner
of Columbia and Woodland. This
intersection has long been a thorn in
the side of many Cooperstown residents who daily run the gauntlet of
a traffic snarl in order to get to classes.
Previously, only a single red blinker for stop traffic and a single yellow caution light. for through traffic
governed this spot. This created a
situation of "you go, then I'll go"

driving which made getting past this
intersection a tremendously exciting

game. It was also, unfortunately, a
dangerous sport: some three weeks
ago it resulted in an automobile being

struck by two others almost simultaneously, one on each side, as the
driver tried to "gun" through the intersection after coming to a confused
halt.
The new traffic light catches the
eye as if one expected the Gravel
Switch Limited to rumble through.
Its installation will doubtlessly prove
a boon to safety, and those drivers
who studiously avoided this intersection will now find it finally possible
to negotiate it without lowering the
car window and shouting to other
drivers: "Hang loose, Mac, while I
scratch through!"

Some Overlooked 'Oscars9
From Southeastern Kentucky, the
Hazard Herald has come forth with
the most unique and amusing approach to Hollywood's hullabaloo
over "Oscars" that we've yet seen.

Here it is:
"We take tremendous pleasure in
being the first newspaper to announce that next year will see several new
categories established by fildom for
'Oscar' awards. To name a few of
them:
"'Best Blacktop Road Leading to

"'Best Performance by a Trio Off

To The Editor:
This letter is to congratulate you
and the Kernel staff generally for the
wonderful improvement in the editorial page during the past two or

three years, and especially during the
current year. In my opinion you have
been saying and saying well many
of the things that need to be said
on educational policy and academic
matters generally.
As a matter of fact, it seems to me
that the Kernel is expressing more
good sense on educational, matters
and displaying more educational
statesmanship than any other agency,
or branch of the University. Many,
of us are grateful to you for seeing
things straight and having the courage to express your convictions. Keep
it up! Maybe if you work at it hard
enough you can help stimulate almost as much interest in classrooms,
laboratories, scholarships, a superior
faculty, and even learning itself as is
now manifested in larger and more
elegant country club facilities.

Sex and sex appeal become lustful

and sinful when immature people arc
at the base of them. The immaturity
reveals itself in the y.'fusal of the majority of college and other females to
participate in sex acts while they still
flaunt their sex appeal for all the
world to sec. The immature female
has without a doubt dragged sex and
love through the slime and filth of
sin.

High School Vandals
To The Editor:
I wonder if the Kernel has been
informed of the vandalism in the
Fine Arts Building during the last
week? It seems that every time the
University is host for events which
bring high school students to our
campus, this building and others
spend weeks repairing the damage.
There has been lipstick smeared
on the walls, on various paintings and
sculptures. An entire wall had to be
repainted because of these actions.
On one painting, a notice was thumb-tacke-d
to the canvas. A piece of iron
sculpture on which many long hours
were spent was bent and mangled
beyond repair. I am willing to offer
a reward to anyone with information as to who ruined this sculpture.
Most of the damage was done on
April 27 (Monday). .
The art students are very upset
alwut these incidents. Are we to
spend time and money to turn out
art pieces only to have them destroyed? Whether these pieces are
appreciated by the public or not,
there is no reason to deface or destroy private property. If this sort
of thing continues, students must refuse to allow their work to be exhibited where it cannot be watched at
all times.

These immature incidents are a reflection on the cultural attitude of
the entire University. We would appreciate any help you might give us
in stopping them.
