they do not provide for informal

has maintained one or more informal rush sessions each year.

THE MANY LOVES

When ThonvnM Dockstader sophomoro, epicure, anil .sportsmatook up smoking, he did not simply choose the fir:t
brand of cigarettes that came to hand. No, indeed! He did what
any sophomore, epicure, and sportsman would do: he sampled
several brands and then picked the gentlest, tastiest, mot
thumpingly, wondrously, unfailingly pleasing of all Philip
Morris, of corris!
Similarly, when Thorwald Dockstader took up girls, he did
not simply select the first one who came along.' No. indeed!
Thorwald sampled. He took out several likely girls and then ho
compared their charms and then he made his choice.
His first date was with an English lit major named Elizabeth
Barrett Grish, a wisp of a girl with luminous eyes and a soul
that shimmered with a pale, unearthly beauty. Trippingly,
trippingly, she walked with Thorwald upon the beach and sat
with him behind a windward dune and listened to a sea shell
and sighed sweetly and took out a little gold pencil and a littlo
morocco notebook and wrote a little poem:

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL. Friday. April 20.

lO.'G

Hack Talk

Alum Speaks
Dear Sir:
Very recently, this scholastic year to be exact, I've become
quite annoyed and irritated by some well meant but incorrect
statements in the Kernel editorially. Your editorial of 9 March
19G is such a case in point, with special reference to the paragraph stating, "Perhaps the gangs are a natural outgrowth of
the Second World War and the Korean War. Most of these
bovs have had little or no home life. Tleir fathers were in
service and their mothers were working."
I take strong exception to the statement concerning the
fathers; it is false. Did you not kijow that the highest incidence
of married men not necessarily fathers mind' you! were only
one out of every four men in the armed services during the
in World War II. Your stateyears of need for men ( 1944-45- )
ment should read "Their fathers had good defense jobs and
their mothers worked too, all hoping the war would last 10
.ears" this would be correct.
Fathers having bos in grade school and high school were
.'tremely scarce unless these same fathers wire "regnlars" in
'he Armed Forces. 1 am a veteran of World War II and a veteran graduate of UK. I think we enriched Kentucky in all
ways.
Sincerely,

Third Party
Campus politics were thrown into a turmoil this week when several organizations
splintered off from the two major parties
and formed a new group.
It's much too early to fully determine the
effect of the, merger. However, the new lineup has done one thing. Student interest in
the forthcoming SGA elections is higher than
it has been in years.
The two original parties have busily "been
adding new groups to replace the ones that
left their ranks to join the third party. Organizations that previously took no active
part in campus politics are now vigorously
campaigning.

town Council, the women's residence homes,
and the religious groups have all been contacted, and their interest has been aroused.
Even if they don't join a party, their members will probably vote in the spring election
which, after all, .is more important than mere
lip service to a party.
Party squabbles caused the split and these
squabbles could do more harm than good
to SGA if they are not ironed out. Increase
in student interest, isexccllent but it could
be offset if the parties argue over petty
grievances and forget about policies.
A balance should be reached between rising student interest and policy. Undoubtedly
student interest could be kept at a lever
pitch indefinitely by continually organizing
new parties, but to do this would sacrifice
constructive SGA work.
The parties should try to keep student interest high, but in the long run should also
maintain a stable policy, designed ultimately
not to benefit themselves, but the Student
Government Association.

IFC Mixup
No informal rush periods will be held for
fraternities next year, and the sudden announcement from Dean of Men L. L. Martin
has caused considerable controversy in the
Interfraternity Council.
The policy of having nothing but formal
rush sessions was made known this week by

Dan Woodward, the IFC's rush chairman.
Woodward had conferred with Dean Martin
and received the announcement from him.
Dean Martin .stated that a representative
group of last fall s IFC officers and members
of the Hush Committee had met with him
and recommended the change. On the basis
of the recommendation and his own knowledge of the unsatisfactory rush and pledging
conditions, Dean Martin announced the enforcement of strict formal rush.
Certainly the fraternity rush problem has
lnen bad for the past two years, and Dean
Martin has the power of enforcing strict
formal rush, with or without the consent of
the IFC. There is no question on these issues.

The bad situation is the dogmatic wav in
which Dean Martin made the sudden announcement. Most IFC members were unaware that any change of the status quo was
in the offing, and a vote on the subject had
never Iktii taken'.
Thus the announcement was a big surprise
to many of the IFC delegates. For the past
four years it has been the policy of the IFC
to hold one big formal rush in the fall and
hold additional informal rush rxriods if the

in rush.

Dean Martin did not even appear before
the group to make the announcement. It
would have been far better hail he come to
the IFC meeting, told them of the fallacies
of the present system, and then urged them
to enforce strict formal rush.

The abrupt announcement caused only
confusion, misunderstanding, and poor relations between students and administration.
Dean Martin can best help IFC if he tells
it what it should do, rather than telling it
what it has to do. On the question of informal rush, lit should surely let the IFC
voice their opinion on the subject before he
enforces his current decision.

One of the worst situations on campus, from a student viewpoint, is the fact that the Margaret I. King Library is not open
on Sunday nights.
Student Government Association took up the problem last
week and assigned a committee to see if the library would extend its hours to Sunday nights. The solution could be very
simple, and it is only hoped that the library officials will cooperate in trying to get hours extended.
It may be that a change, rather than an extension, in hours
would be advisable. If this is the case, it would be far better
to shorten the library hours Friday nights and Saturday morir-ing-s
and give the time to operating hours Sunday nights.
Few students use the librarv Friday nights or Saturday morn-ingso a shortening of hours during these times would not be
detrimental. On the other hand, the library is only open from
2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays, causing a "rush' for student who
want to do research and study on that day. of the week. More
students are enrolled for Monday classes than on any other day.
Library officials cooperated fully with SGA last year on the
solution died at the hands
