University To Install.
M ore Campus Lights
The University will begin in
stalling additional lights along
main campus; sidewalks next week.
Dr. Frank D. Peterson, vice president for business administration,
said
The new lixtures will be placed
primarily alciig the route from the
libraiy to the women's dorms.
Lighting of t lie sidewalk between
the library and Maxwell Place
will also be improved, as will that
of the. title .valk separating the
Journalr m Building and Engineering Quadrangle.
Dr. Peterson met yesterday
afternoon with a Kernel representative to discuss possible places
at whhh sew lights might be installed. Two Kernel editorials this
year had criticized the campus
lighting as inadequate and a threat
ye.-teida-

to coeds' safety. One coed was atHarrison
tacked on poorly-lighte- d
Street near the women's dorms
earlier this semester, but escaped
without injury.
New light fixtures will bp installed on the front of White Hall
and another added to a present
installation near the Anthropology
Museum. With others planned for
the front of Lafferty Hall and the
Social Sciences Building, this will
provide a lighted sidewalk over
about half the library-to-dorroute.
Other light fixtures will be Inpoles bestalled on
hind the SUB and Alumni Gymnasium, since it was felt most
coeds would prefer to take that
route to the libraiy. When installation is completed, the entire
dorms route will bo

also.
Dr. Peterson also said the east-we- st
sidewalk between the tennis
courts and Maxwell Place would be
lighted. "That walkway will be removed when the new construction
begins," he said, "but it should be
lighted as long as it is there."
(Future plans can lor a new
physics building to be built on the

present tennis court site.)
Asked about the possibility of
getting street lights installed on
Kose Street, particularly near the
stadium, Or, Peterson said this
would be up to the city.

The funds, appropriated by Congress, are to be afforded to students selected by a committee of

The Wisconsin faculty approved
a resolution that asks Congress to

Air Force Maj. Robert T. Palmer,

Col. Boughton said any cadet

receive a refund. The cadet's demerit would then be placed back
on his record, he said, and could

very lives. More than a hundred young boys
in Lexington are reminded of the
day when a strange man came to their
house and made friends with them.
They remember how that man taught
tfyem things imjwrtant things, like
how to tie a square knot, or how to
lay clown a bunt, or how to bait a
hook or how to be forgiving.
The mothers of those boys think of
the void this stranger has helped to
fill in the lives of their young sons, a
void created by death or divorce or
some other unfortunate circumstance.
The teachers and friends and relatives of those youngsters remember
when they started taking more interest
in school, or joined in more readily
with the other kids or began to help

of a volunteer organization dedicated

To The Editor:
I should like to commend the Kernel
on its story and editorial with regard
to the demerit incident in the AFROTC.
It marks the first time this year that
cither the military or air science departments hae received fair editorial treatment at your hands.
The facts were correctly reported;
however, more explanation is necessary
in order for one to fully understand
how an incident of this sort could 'occur..
Our leadership lalwratory is run entirely by air science cadets. Our faculty
serves only in an advisory capacity.

These men are lawyers, teachers,
doctors, businessmen, newspapermen,

races, professions and religious beliefs.
Some of them are students from this
campus. Their common bond is their
willingness to give.
In this age of the Joiner and the
Organization Man, it is refreshing to
see such a diverse group work together for progress rather than prestige. Emerson summed it up sufficiently when he said: There is no limit
to what can be accomplished if it
doesn't matter who gets the credit.

it would le folly to expect perfection

likewise. This would, of course, destroy

I find it hard to consider even a
serious error in judgment, as this incident was, on the part of a cadet officer
any more reprehensible, lamentable or
inexcusable than a serious journalistic
blunder on the part of the Kernel.
We must also rememler that this

Editoiially we have supported NSA
from the start and hae done so without reservation.
Naturally questions can be raised
as to the accuracy and validity of the
poll, but we feel that it is somewhat
representative of campus opinion.
Two things were made definite by
the poll results: I. the student body
as a whole is more liberal than the
SC assembly and 2. a vast majority of
the students (80.2 per cent) still
would like lurther knowledge on' the
subject.
We would not contend that the
poll shows a wide cleavage between
the student body and Student Congress, but it certainly shows that SC

Since that time, however, the issue,
seems to be leaving the minds of
SC representatives. They are seemingly content to keep the status quo
