Dr. Frank O.

by the Eoard cf Trustees to appoint
a citizens' committee of 60 to set

"The only means through which
we can ditccvtr these hopes is to

establishing the institutional objectives for the decades ahead," Dr.
Dickey said.
Dr. Dickey ciled the action for
the long range goals after a report frcm the Southern Regional

that Southern colleges face a situation ill untqualed urgency and

"I have told your president that

Roger Oliver was that a large

Don White suggested that integration be done when children
enter the first grade. Then when
they reach high school age, desegregation would be natural to
them.
The panel concluded that all
three procedures be combined or
perhaps another suggestion would
be more effective.

Double Standards
At the recent National Interfra-tcrnit- y
Convention in Boston, a startling revelation was brought to the
forefront concerning the fraternities
at UK.
It was found that our fraternities
were required to meet a higher scholastic requirement than at any other
university in the country. Although
on the surface this seems to he a
compliment to our fraternity system,
it also points out some discriminatory
facets that should be explained.
Two years ago, before the present
deferred pledging system was adopted, the Faculty adopted the resolution that all fraternities would be reschoquired to meet the
lastic average. In the past, they had
to meet the
average.
Shortly after this adoption, a moratorium was granted for a one year
period, wherein the fraternities would
still meet the
average, and
after that year would switch to the
average, which is higher
than the
average.
Great strides have been made in
the fraternity system since the deferred pledging was inaugurated and

the scholastic average has risen to a
point whereupon none of the fraternities have been below the
average.
One reason for this is that now a
student must make his scholastic
standing before pledging a fraternity.
In the past this was not so, and consequently the fraternity averages suffered.
Now comes the question: Is the
Faculty being fair in their scholastic
requirements for fraternities, or does
exist?
a
If the logic is followed that frateravernities must meet the
age, it seems that other clubs on the
campus should have to do the same.
This would mean that sororities,
YMCA, Tau Sigma, and all other
organizations should be required to
do the same. As things are now, however, a double standard has been set.
The Faculty i: to be commended
for its desire to raise the standards
of the fraternities. It seems this goal
may be realized within the next two
years. But, it is still two years too
soon to have fraternity men meeting
the
average.

* THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Thursday,

Dec. 14. 1961

My name was Warren Thomas. I wasn't
one of those guys who runs around all the
time looking for kicks, but I did like to
have a good time.
Let me get more to the point. 1 have
an interesting story to tell you. At least
it's interesting to me. I guess it's alout the
craiest thing that ever happened.
Well,' here's how it went. After c lasses
on Friday, I packed my duds and warmed
up my ear ready to Moot home for Chtist-ma- s
holidays. That was about 2 o'clock.
I piled my junk into the car
(dirty
clothes and all), then picked up four Imiss
and one gill.
I guess it made things a little crowded in my
little foreign car (bucket seals and all), but
they were from my home town. I graduated from
high school with them. You just can't turn them
down when they ask for a ride. You know
how it is.
I didn't mind them riding with me so much, but
all that darn luggage you'd think they were
going home for good. We couldn't even get all the
Muff in the trunk. Itut we finally settled everything OK. A suitcase up front, a portable
stereo in the back, and some dresses and
suits hung on the hook over the left rear
window. Couldn't see out that window sshen
I wanted to pass but heck with it. I was
just going 200 miles.
We finally left. I was anxious to get home,
espec ially to sec my giil. (muss it had been
more than a month since I'd been home.
I figured I could make it in alxiut three
hours, take my friends by their houses,
unload their junk, then make it home in
time for that good homecooking of mom's.

Just had to get home by 5:.'50, or else eat
leftovers. Mom puts the food on the table for dad
then just after he comes in from woik,
The way I figuied it, just 10 miles over the speed
limit would get me there right on time. M.nbe
13 miles oer the speed limit in a few plates
It's a good mad all the way home.
And the kids in the car could watch
out for the tops.
Had a date planned (or that night
