KS Mascot Has Become Popular On Campus
By JO ANN MERCER
Cossa, the Kappa Slgma's English Bulldog has acquired quite
a reputation for himself on the UK
campus. He made his debut a year
ago June when the fraternity decided to adopt a mascot.

superior Job of keeping the fraternity banner flying. Within months
Cossa became known as the
"swingingest" dog on campus.
Just like all the other brothers,
Cossa has his shortcomings. He
always manages to start the semester off right, but the races and
spring arrive all too quickly.
Instead of attending all his
classes and studying until the wee
hours of the morning, Cossa shirks
his obligations, and even stays out
late at night.
As Cossa's reputation has grown

with the boys he also has become
a favorite of the girls. Men of the
fraternity began to get worried.
Their mascot was making entirely
too big a hit with their dates. The
pretty coeds would go to
the
Kappa Sig parties and pat Cossa
on the head all evening, paying
little attention to the boys.
Since Cossa was taking unfair
advantages, the boys rumor has

Segregation Issue May Die
"When segregation becomes politically unprofitable to stir the
embers of'prejudice in the South,
the issue will either die or become
silent," Dr. Thomas D. Clark said
last night.
The UK History Department
head's comments were made as
he gave the annual Phi Beta Kappa address at the University of
Cincinnati.
Dr. Clark added that time Is
running out for the "hard core"
Southern slates In their hopes to
avoid enforcing Supreme Court
decisions.

Sooner or later, he said, four or
five of the Southern ' states w ill
have no further room to maneuver.
Then, he added, they will either

have to integrate their schools or
abandon public education.
Commenting on the latter possibility, the historian said:
"For the South to abandon public education at this particular moment In its history would
be

little short
suicide.

"The private school system was
abandoned in the South 75 years
sgo," he , continued, "for precisely
the same reason it will not work
now: it educated too few people."
Noting that the South's old
agrarian way of life is gone, Dr.
Clark said:
"The South must find employment for its people or it will be

youth will leave the region and
the South will be left in proverty,"
he said.
"The big problem at the moment," Dr. Clark Continued, "is to
keep public schools progressing,
to keep good teachers in those
schools, to restore a full sense of
freedom in the region and to face
the fact that the South is entering
a new phase of life which will be
radically different from that of
the past."
