Queen Of Hearts

June Moore, crowned queen of two dances over the Valentine
weekend, barely deserves the title of "queen of hearts." Miss Moore
reigned over the Military Ball Friday night and the Mardi Gras
Dance Saturday.

June Moore Crowned
Q ueen of Two Events
The 13th annual Mardi Gras
Dance took a strange turn of
events when the queen was crowned for the second successive night
and the rex was late for his
crowning.
June Moore, sophomore from
Miami, Fla., was crowned queen

Mardi Gras. Seme moments after
his name was announced he rame

Miss Moore, representative
of
Tau Kappa Epsilon, was escorted
by Dave Stewart. Her attendants
and the organizations sponsoring
them were Cynthia Beadell, Alpha
Gamma Rho; Betty Hall, Alpha
Delta Pi; and Barbara Harkey,
Chi Omega. Nancy Clay McClure,
representing Kappa Alpha Theta,
was mow bound and did not participate.
Prof. Gilliam crowned the queen
after some difficulty and obligingly kissed her during a lengthy
flashbulb session.
With his robe flowing- and a few
deviations from the standard steps,
the professor led the big danee.
The theme of the dance was the

Dean Kirwan Begins
Grad School Duties

Dr. Albert D. Kirwan, former UK
history professor, began his new
Job as dean of the Graduate School
yesterday.
As dean of the Oraduate School,
Dr. Kirwan will be concerned with
all projects that will improve
scholarship on the University campus, particularly in the Graduate
School.
He would like to help make
available resources for the development of research and the building
of scholarship funds for graduate

students.
Dr. Kirwan was born in Louisville and came to Lexington to do
his undergraduate work at I'K. In
1926, he returned to Louisville
where he taught history and
coached football at Male and Manual High Schools. During these
years he aLo attended the Univer

ng

sity of Louisville and earned his
law degree and a master's degree
in history.
Returning to Lexington, Dr. Kirwan worked with the UK History
Department for several years. In
1944 he left Lexington and went to
Duke University to get his Ph.D.
in history. In 1947 he was made
dean of men and two years later
he became dean of students. Several years later he returned to the
History Department and remained
there until yesterday.
Dr. Kirwan has published several
articles for history Journals, as
well as three books. "Johnny Green
of the Orphan Brigade" is the
diary of a Kentucky boy In the
Civil War. His other two books
are "Revolt of the Rednecks" and
"The Confederacy." which was
published last September.

Three Notre Dame Players
Discuss Impressions Of UK
Bekelja, an economics major
from Harrisburg. Fa., said "We
weren't treated very well down
here the Inst time: UK beat us by
33 points my sophomore year."
The boys had visited one of Lexington's new coffee houses and described the local beatniks as "retrogressive." However, the campus
coeds evoked more complimentary
adjectives.
They were described by one as
"progressive." by another as "substantial" and by Iowan economics
major Noonan as "adequate." None
of the boys ventured further in
their descriptions.
spokesman
Bekelja,
for the group, explained that the
trio "was impressed by the SUB
and the food that is served there"
and added, "I'd rather not say how
we were impressed though."

Inclement weather caused the
tour of Lexington for the Notre
Dame basketball team to be cancelled Saturday.
Fortunately it allowed ample
time for the Kernel to interview
three of the players senior Mick
Bekelja and Juniors Bill Crosby
and Bill Noonan.
The team had left South Bend
in a heavy snowstorm Friday afternoon to head for the sunny campus at UK. When the Lexington
Chamber of Commerce welcomed
the Notre Dame entourage at the
airport it never occurred to them
that the team would also receive
a comforter of white to warm their
stay.
However, UK coeds helped ease
the boredom of Saturday afternoon and evening. Not a member
of the visiting team went dateless.
While Crosby, Noonan and Bekelja were absorbing the culture of
the SUB grill, they expressed their
impressions of UK.

between the chemical structure of
g
azo dyes and the
structure of those that don't," Dr.
Brown said.
Also involved in the study is
the chemical tie-i- n
between the
protein of the rat liver and the
azo dyes. Some of the dyes are 30
times more powerful than Butter-yelloa substance known to produce tumors in rats.
"We want to know the chemistry of the reaction between the
protein and the azo dye compounds which causes wild cell
growth in the rat liver," the researcher said.
Groups of 10 rats each are fed
the various compounds of the azo
dye group, then anesthetized and
opened periodically to check on
the rate of the cancer growth.
By varying the chemical structure of the compounds fed the
rats, Dr. Brown is able to compare
effects of the
the
various mixtures.
"We are not engaged in trying
to find a medical cure for cancer,"
he emphasized. "Our research
deals with trying to understand
the chemistry of wild cell growth."
Dr. Brown has worked on the
project for eight years, first at
Fotdham University and later at
Seton Hall University, where he
was head of the Chemistry Department.
He was recently elected a Fellow
in the New York Academy of
Science, an honor conferred upon

Three months may seem like a
long time to most people, but for
the members of the I960 Little
Kentucky Derby Steering Committee time is growing short to make
preparations for the big weekend.
The committee, which has become a large and complex organization, was formed in October and
has been working on plans for the
Derby and its success for these
several months.
Committees and subcomittees
have been formed to take care of
every minute detail necessary to
produce the Little Kentucky Derby
Weekend.
Instituted for the purposes of
creating school spirit and Iqvalty,
providing entertainment for the
entire campus, and especially for
providing funds for a student
scholorship program, the LKD has
become the top weekend in the
UK social calendar.
As a new attraction for this
year's derby, the steering commit- tee is now investigating the pos-- !
sibilities of initiating a jazz festi- val with some of the best known
jazz ensembles and performers in
the country attending.
Chairman of this year's steer-- 1
ing committee is Cynthia Beadell.

Working with Miss Beadell in the
administration of the committee
are Dick Warren,
Bill Moore, treasurer; and Sidney
Crouch, secretary.
Chairmen of the various division committees are Jim Daniels,

At Preclassification
In a meeting of the CommunicaCommittee last week in the
president's office, the unpopular and
somewhat touchy subject of preclassification arose and was discussed at
length by the group composed of
students, faculty, and administrators.
One of the committee members
pointed out during the course of the
conversation that preclassification had
been attempted as a result of a four-ye"tirade" by the Kernel.
Although we resented strongly the
use of the word "tirade" and its connotation, we nevertheless admit it was
largely through the editorial writing
of Kernel editors that the preclassification system was born and nurtured.
But we will not take the dubious
credit of having put the mess into
operation.
We commented last week on the
breakdown in communications as one
of the general causes for the registration botching. There were other
reasons, such as the
"miscellaneous" line in which most UK students went through, the hardships
and overwork placed on UK secretaries, and the lack of reliance on advisers on the part of the students.
But we reiterate. Preclassification
probably will be workable when the
"bugs" are ironed out. It has to be
given a chance before it can be
effective to the University. Other
universities have suffered the same
problem with preclassification after
several years; it is natural that the
first experience here would be just
as bad.
tions

ar

so-call- ed

We would suggest that the miscellaneous line be aljolished, that
be erased by establishing stronger rules, that advisers take
more interest in counseling students,
and probably most important that
students themselves be more diligent
in registering and in consulting ad"post-registratio-

visers.

Preclassification, we believe, is important to a large university, and,

when perfected, can be convenient
to the student body, the faculty, and
administration. We think the space
that past Kernel editors have devoted
to it will soon materialize for all in less
frustration and

it will get more efficient with each try.
Don't cast off the system as diabolical and unsatisfactory because of its

We have had a plethora of letters

attitude toward the University. We

have had a considerable amount of

In this respect, the Kernel exists
for you and we consider it your
newspaper. The letters or soapboxes
written merely have to be addressed
to the Kernel editor and signed. In
the case of a letter, the name will be
withheld, provided that the person
requests and that the letter does not
make an undue personal attack upon
someone. The letters and soaplxxxes
will be printed only if they are not
libelous and if they are not too
lengthy. Letters preferably should not
exceed 350 words and soapboxes, 500
words.
The power of public opinion expressed through the columns of a
newspaper must never be underestimated, even by the most casual observer. The Kernel has printed several letters in the past which have
contained criticisms or suggestions
that directly wore followed out.
Others have gained the opportunity
to voice their gripes and speak out
against undesirable situations.
The Readers' Forum and University
Soapbox are yours, if you want them.

Edinburgh is a university with no
required class attendance, no homework, no assigned text!xx)ks, and no
tests until the end of the term.
If these traits are dumbfounding,
then a day in lecture would be even
more surprising. You would find students sitting in lectures hissing and
stamping their feet at practically
everything the professor had to say.

Howeer, the American

Just let him enter into the lecture
hall in his academic gown anil there
is a show of hisses and gentle
"stomps." Let him say that only half
the books on the reading list are suggested for reading and there is a
multitude of stomps. Let an academic-professosay that "during a presidential election year in America, the export of Scotch whiskey increases" and
there are vigorous stomps. Mention
the name of Karl Marx and there is
an assortment of stamping and hissingmostly the latter.
Through these unusual gestures, the
Scottish students are showing their
approval and disapproval of what the
lecturer says. This will happen alxmt
10 times in every class.
Of course, you don't have to attend class if you so desire. Compared
to American professors, the Scottish
lecturer lacks showmanship, usually
reads the scholarly subject matter,
and is often plain dry.
The lectures are very formal. The
professor even leaves the room alter
a class before any student can get
to his feet. However, they go into
his office for a visit and you'll be surprised far he'll most likely offer you
a glass of sherry or a "spot of tea."
The usual number of hours a week
in the classroom is nine, and the
normal load is three subjects. In addition, you meet with your tutor for
an hour each week to discuss what
you've read, the class material, and
questions. Questions are never asked
in those formal lectures.
The whole idea at Edinburgh, as
well as most other European universities, is to read, read, and read. There
are three terms of about eight weeks

each.

socially mature. That hearty American greeting stuns most Scots. The
Scottish way is that you talk first
and leave introductions for later.

The weekend date is practically unknown at Edinburgh. Whether it be
a university dance or an informal
party, the girls usually come without
escorts. Even when one has a date,
the girls will often suggfst that she

meet
in front of the movie theater. Much
of this stems from the fact that there
are only 50 automobile? in tjio, entire

that Scots dislike parties. In fact, they
are usually fond of their warm beer.
They spend a lot of time in the
Common Ilooin (similar to the Crill),
too. It is not uncommon for them to
argue aliout the American Civil War
or to discuss A'an Cliburn over their
col fee. An American is continually hit
with questions about everything from
racial problems to Hock Hudson.
Edinburgh is free of rules and regulations. The student is so very carefree and easygoing-b- ut
he must certainly study if he wants to stay.
However, there is no pressure for
him to excel-su- ch

many American universities. There

And no one cares whether you belong to an organization.
