The Last Chance

when the University Faculty voted
to remove from social probation
fraternities which met or surpassed
the
academic standing last
all-men-

's

fall.
By doing this, the Faculty dropped
the problem into the laps of the
fraternities and gave them another
opportunity to prove that they are
more than frivolous drinking societies.
It has been the lot of "fratmen" to sit
fraternity temples
in their
and mourn the good old days of the
1.4 probationary average when the
University was not "against" them.
When the new ruling requiring
fraternities to meet the
average was passed, the fraternity
system bemoaned the injustice of it
all then went out and went on probation.
averBy deferring the
Dean
age requirement last spring, the
of Men's Office saved the necks of
several fraternities. .After this experi

ed

ence, one would expect the fraternities to have learned a lesson. Many
apparently did not learn a thing. The
probation figures prove that.
Although several fraternities did
not profit from their second chance,
the Faculty has seen fit to grant them
a third chance. It is now time for
fraternities to prove that the perennial
rushing phrase, "fraternities build
scholarship," is not just a pretty
phrase.
The entire Greek system has too
long felt sorry for itself and cried
about the injustices being dealt it
and done little to help itself. The
Greek system is far from dead; it is
certainly not entirely impotent, but it
is slipping into a torpor that is weakening and can prove fatal.
The Interfraternity Council is
working on methods to improve
fraternity scholarship. We only hope
it does not act too slowly.
Like mighty Casey at the plate, we
hope the fraternity system does not
watch the first two pitches go floating by, only to miss the third.

The Readers' Form
Education Defended
To The Editor:
Concerning Suzy Horn's Soapbox
in the Wednesday Kernel.
I do not feel Miss Horn's comments could possibly go unanswered
and so the herein are in retort to her
flagrant .statements about the College of 'Education.
Before tbegin, let me state that
I am a graduating senior in this college so naturally, Miss Horn, you
may believe me prejudiced. Be that
as it may, you have my cordial invitation to restate your case.
My starting point could easily be
the requirements for elementary education. We take 33 hours of Education courses ( 12 of which are student
teaching). We also have 26 hours
of courses termed "service courses."
These are offered by the College of
Arts and Sciences especially for the
education major and include physical
education and health, library science,
math, art, and music. Our other
courses are of the general education
type and include English, psychology,
science, history, political science,
geography, sociology, and anthropology-

Now let's be realistic, Miss Horn,
these courses are not Education
courses per se, but they serve to provide a background of broad knowledge and to give a backbone to our
Education courses. You know, don't
you, that Education courses are, in
the main, method or theory courses

Smith

has proved himself a
worthy opponent. In his last article, he
has finally clarified the point he spent
200 words trying to make: "that ROTC,
in the age of unclear armament, is
on an outdated plan of instrucop-crati- ng

He further points out that I either
didn't deduce this or failed to accept
it as important. Apparently, however,

"Brothers, she'd make a fine LKD queen.

and the subject matter we teach may
well come from one of the courses
offered by Arts and Sciences.
As far as our Education courses:
let's take one for example: Teaching
Communicative Skills in the Elementary School. This, to keep you
up to date, concerns the child learning
to read, write, spell, and other related skills that I'm sure you are
aware of. Do you actually think a
teacher hands a child a book and lo,
the child reads, as if a miracle passed
over him? No, the teacher must guide
the child into seeing why certain
words are spelled as they are, and
why certain letters sound as they do.
This sounds quite easy, granted,
but try it. If you'd like, I'm sure the
fifth grade at Maxwell Street School
(where I did my student teaching,
to put into practice ideas I had acquired) will welcome you with open
arms. You seem to know so much
about education, that I'm sure you
will welcome this opportunity to try
your hand at teaching. Oh, by the
way, don't bother me with an invitation of any sorts; I am a teacher,
--

not a journalist.

l'lease don't forget one thing when
you enter your classroom; it's not the
vast amount of subject matter a
teacher knows, but, rather, how this
related to the child to open new
avenues of learning for him. Do keep
me posted on your classroom activities. I'd love to hear how your theories work out.

he acquires these qualities, the
opportunity is open to test his leadership skill in situations dealing with
small groups, and to recogni.e and accept personal responsibility. As he advances in this training, the opportunity
is open for developing skills dealing
with larger and more complex groups,
planning group objectives, and supervising plans through the cadet corps.

Hi,

UK fraternities were given a heartening vote of confidence Monday

By LARKY R. STRONO

Mr.

as
I

ROTC For Education

he became so invoked (imbued with
"hope of success') in my "innocuous
ramblings" that he failed to grasp tny
point: that his point is false.
In view of the fact thai Mr. Smith
has "served three years in the service,"
and has not had "the advantage of enlightenment offered by ROTC," it may
be beneficial to examine his contention
about the program of the Aerospace
Science Department.
He maintains that information on
the latest missiles and aircraft should
be emphasized. This, however, is misleading, implying as it does, a military
program. The program of the Aerospace Department is not a military, but
an educational one. (It may be of interest to note that top educators, college presidents, for example, assist Air
Force Officials in designing such programs.)
The purpose of the program here
is two-folon the one hand, to provide educational objectives for the development of officers; on the other hand,
to meet the requirements of the University as a land-grainstitution. The
curriculum of the program consists of
two major categories, classroom instruction and leadership lulxratory.
It is in this latter category that Mr.
Smith's "Imp's" and "ho's" will Ik considered. The significance here, however,
is not to oiler "concrete validity," but to
point out the importance of these "useless impediments" to those students obtaining an education as officers in the
program. The student is provided an opcoportunity here for
with others as a unit, poise, and
operation
which comes sith mastering the subject.

The other category provides instructions in elements of air power, aeronautical science, aerial warfare, leadership, military justice, and the federal
government. In the first two years, clasj
instructions are given two out of three
hours a week; in the last two years,
is given four out of fie.

The aerospace program offers the
opportunity and "vehicle" for every student seeking to obtain an education as
officers. All who graduate from the program have been carefully tested,
screened, and selected. Some, however,
wish merely to use the program to satisfy their obligation; others specialize
in fields, as communication, missiles, etc.
(It is here that emphasis is placed on
particulais, as missiles and aircraft.) Rut
lecause the program provides a foundation with its objectives for each student
to help maintain our democracy, and localise each student has achieved these
object ies, in any field, he is qualified
to lie proud.
Mr. Smith need no longer doubt my
"lose and passion" for these qualities of
ROTC'. They are essential qualities for
every principle of our democratic way
of life. Anil though he maintains that
he no longer has the "advantage of, enlightenment offered by ROTC" since he
has spent three years in the service-- , the
opportunity to srek this "enlightenment"
through investigation, interviews, and
research remains open.
The irony is, however, that Mr.
Smith will not have time to do this since
he is now concentrating on hi "new
found dramatic ability." In doing this,
moreover, he has left the diaper inspecting up to me, in which case I will,
as before, advise him to change.

A Worthwhile Weekend
weekend extravaganzas
are plentiful in our society. They are
great morale boosters, tension releasers, social meetings, group uniters,
and money makers.
All of these are good, except that
many organizers of such weekends
forget the other purposeful reasons
and emphasize the financial feature.
The result too often is that the weekend flops miserably, never to rise
again, because of the Great American
Ideal of exploiting people for the
almighty dollar.
Fortunately for UK students, this
weekend's Little Kentucky Derby exists for no such purpose. Granted, the
students organizing it are trying to
make money, but they are not attempting to promote the weekend as
a gigantic pecuniary project.
Instead, the weekend actually is
College

a boon to scholarship. Proceeds from
the LKD weekend go into a scholarship fund and are presented to worthy
students. The LKD Steering Committee can boast, and rightfully so, that
its weekend is not a distraction from
scholarship, but rather a contribution to academic life.
Outstanding, too, is the fact that
the derby depends on the participation from practically all campus
groups in the bicycle races. Most UK
social organizations, and they are
numerous, hold events secluded to
their own small groups and cliques.
Although we seriously doubt that
the derby is "America's most spec-

tacular weekend" as it is claimed, the
type of entertainment that is offered
and the purpose of providing scholarships

makes

it

UK's most

praise-

worthy student venture.
