UK students may be ignorant of the populations of the
world and Kentucky, but questions such as these seemed
to indicate that their professors are Just as stumped by
campus terminology.
More faculty members were stopped on the question of

of the 25 professors quizzed knew, or guessed, that the
Mercury-typ- e

An English teacher who "thought language was developing faster than that," was one of eight in the group
who recognized blue-Jeaas proper attire for a "rumble,"
or street fight.
Thirteen faculty members could list six foreign-mad- e
cars. Only one could not name any.
Trofessors in the department which gave the quiz on

Is the "Big Bopper" now living In the U. S.?"
What Is meant by the term "Gold Record?"
Over half the professors knew that the "Big Bopper," a
singer rising to prominence In the popular music field,
died in an airplane accident earlier this month. There
were two wrong answers and 11 blanks. A physicst wrote,
"Don't know and couldn't care less."
On the second question, there were 12 correct and five
wrong answers. Eight professors wrote nothing. One
thought a gold record was given a recording artist when
one hundred million, Instead of one million, copies of
his disk were sold.
The student giving the test said he was "absolutely bewildered" at the results.

legislators said they would introduce
a bill requiring all Texas teachers
to take an oath, annually, affirming
a belief in a supreme being. They
didn't specify any dates for the oaths,
but we think it would add splendor
to the ceremony if Easter or Christmas were chosen as times for signing

The Readers' Foru
Faculty And Flu Shots
To The Editor:
Yesterday, in response to Dean
warning in the Kernel, I went to
I he
Health Service to get my flu shot.
Come back later in the week," said the
nurse. "Today it's the maintenance employees."
I should have known better. I went
hack to my office and reread the dean's
. . . . the
pronouncement. It said
Health Service will offer immunization
first to those rendering key services to
the University, such as members of the
police, maintenance, food service, and
residence hall staffs. Vaccine will be
available subsequently
for students,
members of the faculty, and employees
as supplies permit."
I take it that the good deair rates the
faculty sixth in a list of seven, and the
faculty is not to be mentioned in connection with the idea of "rendering key
services to the University." This is indeed a revelation as to the thinking of
members of the Medical School as they
view the rest of the University.
The rules of the University which
govern the operation of the Health Service have not been changed in recent
years, but it seems to me the interpretation of these rules has been changed,
and in the direction of curtailing former
service.

It

is a coincidence

that this began to

happen when Dean Willard, and later
Dean Noback,
were given authority
over the policies of the Health Service?
And what are their reasons? Is it because they equate routine health care to
students and faculty with socialized
medicine?
Faculty members now feel that they

consulting with the Health Service staff.
Students, for whom the service primarily
exists, have noticed a change, too. To
quote one of them, The doc gave me
a

prescription and said: 'get it filled,

and if you feel worse, go to a doctor.'"
I think the two deans are overstepping
their authority. There is little one faculty
member can' do about it, beyond saying
to them, "Socialized medicine. Bool"

Movies And Morality
To The Editor:

It is quite gratifying to know that
the motion pictures being shown on
campus are attended and that someone
has enough interest to write the Kernel
concerning one. However, the writer
of the letter published in Wednesday's
Kernel, who wants to know whether
the sponsors of Love Is a Many Splen-dore- d
Thing accept its moral implications, is mistaken as to who, in fact,
sponsors these motion pictures. There
are two groups which sponsor films on
campus,
and neither is Interfaith
Council.
One group, the one responsible for
The Razor's Edge, is an informal association of the advisors to the various
religious
campus
Although
gropus.
Interfaith Council works with the members of this group, the two bodies are

separate and distinct. The other organization which brings motion pictures
here is the Student Union Board. This
organization
sponsored the film in
question.

hope the student interest in the

I

showing of these films continues.

Basketball Fans9 Hypocrisy
By CURNEY NORMAN

University of Kentucky students, a
portion of them at least, are pretty
inconsistent people.
For it was the student body that
recently expressed an indignant outrage at the uncouth manner in which
the students at Mississippi State University conducted themselves while their
basketball team was thrashing the Wildcats two weeks ago.
Then, last Saturday night at the
Auburn game, these same people,
strangely enough, who condemned the
Slate crowd put on a show that,
at least equalled in
though short-liveasininity the sickening performance of
the Mississippi students.
The UK people were most aroused
immediately after an Auburn player
slugged a UK forward. For a second
it seemed some students might even
swarm onto the floor. The booing that
followed this incident was loud and
long, and increased in intensity when
the referee called a double foul on the
two involved in the slight scuffle.
The most amazing part of it all,
though, was that UK fans seemed to
think the Auburn player swung his fist
without provocation. Without intending to place blame on anyone for starting it, I dare say he was definitely provoked into doing what he did, and
while he should have controlled his
temper, the Auburn player's action was
hardly unnatural. The call of a double
foul was for all reasonable purposes a
just one.
Apparently, fans have somewhere
gotten the idea that the UK basketball
Fauntle-roy- s
d
team is composed of
who are above the use of elbows
to grab a rebound. After any foul
against a Wildcat that may appear
dubious from the audience, students
scream for the referee's head. Rut ask
anybody who has played against Kentucky, or ask the team itself, just how
gentle the local players are and you
may be surprised that there aren't more
left hooks thrown.
And this is as it should be. Basket-ba- ll
is supposed to be played aggressively and Kentucky hasn't won four
national championships by being nice
d,

to the other teams. Rut aggressive action is expected to be met hy the same,
and it is silly for fans ti' react like
children whose toys have Wen taken
every time a Kentucky player has a
call against him.
The Kernel labelled

the Mississippi
State students "prehistoric" for their
very unhospitable attitude during their
game with Kentucky. UK students were
hardly less than that Saturday nii;ht.
It's too bad fans can't generate that
much enthusiasm for some constructive
cheering.
The University has long lcen at the
head of the list in the basketball world.
Why drag it down into the gutter?
TO MR. JOE COYLE:
Sir: In a recent column you expressed
a doubt that the present "rock 'n roll"
teenage generation would ever produce
capable leaders. You frequently used
the word "leader" in that column.
Leader is defined as "one who occupies a prominent place and who directs
men in conduct and achievement."
I saw fit to challenge the validity of
this promise of yours. Then, in a reply
to my challenge, you strangely said that
when you used the word "leader" you
meant they were "devoted citizens . . .
who should be learning that soon they
will be called on to bear their fair share
of responsibilities . , ."
Really, sir, if you persist in creating
your own erroneous definitions of common words, I see no basis on which
we can logically communicate, or continue the debate at hand.

Vets Still With Us
But Number Decreases
By PAUL SCOTT

Slightly more than 15 per cent
of the UK student body Is made up
of Korean War veterans, but 10
years ago vets composed 60 per
cent of the campus population.
In that year, 4,342 World War
II veterans returned from military service to the University.
James D. Gay, assistant for veteran affairs, said according to the
1958 fall semester statistics 1,210
veterans applied for GI Bill benefits, with Korean War vets numbering 1,161. Of this number, eight
are female GIs. During the past
10 years, one woman has taken
advantage of the bill to every 125
men.
The largest number of
populated the campus in
1947, when 4.795 vets received
financial help from Uncle Sam.
The fewest to take advantage of
the bill was in 1953, when only
278 registered as former servicemen.
Gay estimated the married veterans to be as high as 85 per cent
