To The Kernel Readers
No season of the year presents more opportunities for
unselfish service than does Christmas. It is my earnest hope
that you will have the opportunity to help others and thereby bring the real spirit of Christmas to everyone. May this

successful and beneficial one to you.

The college life is a busy one, especially at this time
of year. What with going to classes and studying for
exams and pursuing a full social schedule and constructing rope ladders to foil dormitory curfews, the average
undergrad is so pressed for time that he cannot do justice
to his Christmas shopping.
Therefore, to aid you in your Christmas shopping, I
have gone into the market place and selected for you a
list of gifts, notable for their originality.
Perhaps the most original gift of all .this year is a
carton of Philip Morris Cigarettes. "Original?" you exclaim, your bushy young eyebrows rising. "Why, we
have been giving cartons of Philip Morris for years!"
True, I reply, but each time you give Philip Morris,
it is a new treat, a fresh delight, a pristine pleasure. Each
carton, each pack, each cigarette, each puff, ia just as
good as the first one you ever tried.
Another gift destined for certain popularity this
year is a gift certificate from theTAmerican Dental Association. This certificate, good at any dentist's office in
America, is accompanied by a handsome jrift card upon
which is engraved this lovely poem:
Merry Christmas, little pal.
Do you need some root canal?
Prophylaxis? Porcelain caps?
Bridgeivork to close up them gaps?
Shiny braces that will straighten?
Inlays? Fillings? Upper platen?
Merry Christmas to your teeth,
And the rosy gums beneath.

enth in the last two. '
Based on past performances,
SMU and Illinois should be the
favorites, not only because of their
records, poll ratings, but also, their

experience which goes far in de
termining the eventual winner in
such a tournament. Much. ir-tionai recognition is the girt lor
the winner.

Another gift that is always welcome is a book, especially to people who read. This Christmas the selection
of books is particularly attractive. For lovers of anthologies, there is William Makepeace Sherpa's A Treasury of the World's Great Treasuries. For thoe who fancy
inspiring success stories, there is the stirring autobiography of William Makepeace Pemmican entitled How
I Got a Forty Pound Monkey Off My Back and Started

My own favorite book this season is a
historical novel from that famous author of

one is called Egad and Zounds, and it tells the poignant

alas, can never be married, for fiery Egad is but a gypsy
lass, while tempestuous Zounds is a Kappa Sigma. They
later become Ludwig of Bavaria.

About 18 months from now or thereabouts, married members of the University of Kentucky community will have a gleaming new housing project
in which they and their families can live.
The new project, Shawneetown, will closely rehousing
semble Cooperstown, the first post-wa- r
project constructed, by the University. But there
are some few differences.
First, Shawneetown will be somewhat smaller, in
that it will accommodate only 186 families, whereas Cooperstown will house 331.
Secondly, Shawneetown will be opened not only
to married students, but also to married faculty
members, preferably those who fall in the categories of instructor and assistant professor, according to UK Vice President Frank D., Peterson.
considerably
Thirdly, the rent will be higher
higher. At this point we must raise an eyebrow.
When the Cooperstown rental rates were
a great furor arose from many married
students. The objections came largely from those
persons who had been living in the hovels which
comprised the old Cooperstown and Shawneetown,
and liad been paying practically nothing for this
existence, in comparison to rates existing in the
city proper.
This furor, we always thought, was slightly silly,
since it was, and still is, practically impossible to
find apartments of comparable size, let alone quality, for the present Cooperstown rates of" $62.50
and $72.50.
But the new Shawneetown rcnKseale seems to

Peterson also said the University of Kentucky
would have the finest facilities in the land for housing married students when Shawneetown is completed. In all probability, he is justified in making
this statemenVand we would add, without equivocation, that we like Cooperstown very much.
We feel sure that we would like Shawneetown
but we 'wonder how many students will be able
to pay the price which would allow them to discover how wonderful the project is?
We do appreciate the University's efforts in providing decent living quarters for its married students. We are fully aware that living in these
quarters is a "privilege, not a right."
But we doubt the wisdom of a move which creates the impression that UK is catering to its faculty
members at the expense of the students, by its
method of establishing rental rates for housing projects.

(a Shayneetown innovation, since Cooperstown
has none this large), his rent will jump to, $100,
leaving only $60 for spending.
What all this will result in, no doubt, is a preShawneetown, at least
dominantly faculty-occupie- d
district." Now, we have nothing
in the "highef-ren- t
against our instructors living in decent quarters,
but it seems to us that if the University of Kentucky,
is going to construct a housing project, its primary
consideration should be the students, not the faculty.
Peterson, in discussing the rent hikes of $10.50
monthly for efficiency apartments and $13.50 for
the
units, made two significant points.
He said (1) that rising construction costs caused
the increases, and (2) "if students can't pay the
rent, they don't have to move in."
The,S'ice president's first statement is undoubtedly
true at least to a degree. The second statements,
could certainly be" termed realistic, if somewhat

SGA Is Improved
To the Editor:
The election of the

SGA for" the winter of- 1956 is
history but to me the result vindicated my deepest convictions about the SGA and the Student's Party- - I say
this not only because die Student's Party elected six out
of its eight candidates, butalso because I am convinced
that the result may bring about a drastic change in the
philosophy of the Constitutionalist Party. This change,
-

i

if and when it happens, will be of great importance to
the constant evolution of Student Government on our
campus. The new realization whkh must transpire
the ranks of the Constitutionalist Party is this; . . . "principles over personalities".
In order for a political organization -- to attain any
type of electoral success, it must give its candidates something to run on. A party can select the most popular
individual on the entire campus, yet he or she won't
have a chance in the world of being" elected if the
political element that nominated the candidate fails to j
present to the students a program of concrete, forward
looking ideas.
The future of SGA is quite bright. Perhaps we will
see another political renaissance like that which took
place on our campus last Spring. If this be the case,
:
the result of the Dec. 14 election was
1. It was a mandate for the Student's Party, its candidates and its platform. The Students sincerely want
continued progress in S.G. A.
2. The second might even be more significant in the
long run. The future course of the Constitutional if
Party has been charted. They must now gather together
their forces and contemplate the future of S.G. A. in a
realistic manner. If this is done, and I believe it will be,1
the success of S.G. A. will be enhanced because both
political parties will be constantly striving for progress
and this will ultimately improve the overall picture at
the University as well as in the Student Government
Association.

Keep Kernel Free
To the Editor:
I congratulate you on your editorial "The Same Old
Story is Heard Once Again," which appeared in the
October 12 issue of The Kernel.
In not acting as a
for students and
faculty you have taken the only right position you could
to keep The Kernel free. Since I have known The
Kernel I have never known it to be censored by faculty
"'or political movements. It has always presented news in
an objective manner. It has served as an instrument of
learning and of education as no other campus organization could.
Seldom do students regard a campus newspaper as
more than a medium of idle gossip. They should look
at all newspapers as; instruments of a' free society.
Please, editors, keep The Kernel free. Don't let it
be dominated by the SGA. the Leadership Conference,
the faculty, or by the students.
"
1 don't think you will.

Lest We Forget
By ROBERT E. MILNE
Tin's Christmas, as carols come floating out into the night

air from that warmly lit church where the doors arc opcnol

J 'r

wide, or when we stop on the street corner to greet a friend or
shake a hand . . .
Where the smell of that ChristSadness because families have

mas tree mixes with those of
pumpkin pie, and turkey and the
kids sleep warmly In their beds
hardly daring to move till morn-Ilet us give thanks.
Give thanks that we are able to
to to a school that does not try
to control oar minds. Where we
can stand and criticlxe or Just
father to speak.
Be thankful for a home that will
not be broken into by foreigners
and where tanks will never roam
our streets.
To a church that will never be
forced to close its doors for fear
the people will come and worship.
To a country that exists for the
betterment of men and not his
crucifixion.
That we are able to share the
warmth and friendship that exist
so openly at Christmas.
But with all these let us also
not forget that somewhere else this
holiday spirit is sadness.

Saint Nick Arrives
At The Frat House
By JOHN MARCUS

Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the frat
Not a creature was stirring, not
even a rat;
The nylons were tacked to the old
beer keg,
In hopes that Saint Nick would
fill them with leg;
The frat boys were sprawled upon
sack after sack.
With visions of
and plenty
of jack;
While the housemother dreamed
. of new furniture and rugs,
In my hangover I. saw naught but
bottles and jugs;
When out In the yard there arose
such a racket,
I thought It was Kenton or old
Buddy Hacket;
I' swayed to the window in a
gelatin mass,
Tore down the blinds and kicked
out the glass;
The moon that fell on the mud
and the slush,
Looked like a bowl of sorghum and
mush;
y
When what should my bloodshot
orbs absorb.
But a rotund old gent, in a cut
down new Ford;
I knew it was Santa, at one!

And the reason for all this is because the people want what we

are enjoying at Christmas.
So remember that if none of us
received a present, we still have
so much as to stagger the imagination.
Let us all remember this when
on Christmas Eve we go to our
churches and once again hear the
story of Christmas. Let us be
proud, but always humble, and
pray that someday soon the spirit
of Christmas can reign over all the
lands of this earth.
To all may I wish a Merry
