Pre( lasif ication is the time for
sunworshipping students to begin
planning lor that Florida vacation
between semesters next year.
The University calendar for 1960
-- 61 left a loophole through which
students can squeeze four extra
days of vacation. All that is required is a little advance planning.
First semester final exams begin Jan. 20 and end Jan. 25. The
spring semesttr opens Feb. 7, giving tired students a 12 day respite
in which to recover in Florida.
But no renius is required to discover that by proper scheduling,
the vacation can be extended to
16 days.

classes that have exams on Friday and Saturday, the forward
thinking student can be Florida
bound, by Saturday night.
Another innovation next year
delays commencement until the
week following the end of spring

Seniors will finish exams on May
27 along with undergraduates, but
baccalaureate services and commencement are not scheduled until

You may recall that a slight disagreement between students and
the UK Faculty over Thanksgiving
vacation resulted in a minor disturbance last fall.
Three weeks between Thanksgiving holidays, ending Nov. 28,
and Christmas vacation, beginning
Dec. 17, will permit students to
catch up on their studies before
departing for 17 more days In
Florida.
There will be less than three

established at UK in honor of Miss
Azile M. Wofford, who has been
teaching library science at the

The fund was established to
recognize Miss Wofford's dedication and service to her field, according to a committee which arranged it.
"It is the hope of those participating; in this endeavor that it
shall make possible the education
of a librarian who will continue
to demonstrate the high professional ideals as exemplified by Miss
Wofford," the committee reported.
Miss Nella Bailey, supervisor of
school libraries for the State Department of Education, is chairman of a group of alumni and
friends which established the fund.
Miss Wofford, a native of South

faculty in 1938. She has written

on libraries will be carried on in
every section in the work of the
many librarians to whom she has

Grasping At Straws
In submitting the now Student
Congress constitution to the assembly
for approval, Hob Odear, chairman of
the SC Constitution Committee, noted

that the constitution represented the
greatest amount of power the congress
could hope to attain from the Faculty.
The new constitution is admittedly
not the answer to all SC's problems,
but it is a big step forward for UK's
student government,
and no one seriously thought it would
fail to receive Faculty approval.
long-sufferin-

g

After the big build up, it was
disappointing to those interested in
student government to see the Faculty
give the constitution its tacit disaprov-a- l.
The document did not even get
through the door to the Faculty as it
was screened out at a meeting of the
Faculty Committee on Student Organizations.
The student Organizations Committee has proven wrong all those optimistic enough to think that students
will ever get a voice in making the
decisions that vitally concern them. It
questioned the most important provision of the new constitution, the
clause providing for student membership on most, if not all, Faculty
committees.
While we would prefer to think
otherwise, it seems that the committee Is laboring to maintain the rigid
social system which keeps the faculty
aloof from the vast majority of students and to preserve the mystery of

v

frr"

the Faculty's sanctum. Its questions
concerning the constitution are vague,
its reasoning even more vague.
The committee questions the fairness of the representation clause providing for Student Congress representation paralleling that of the Faculty,
yet it does not question the fairness,
of the representation, in its own Arts
and
Faculty.
The committee has termed parts
of the constitution "unworkable."
Among the apparently "unworkable"
parts of the document. was the impeachment provision. If anyone on the
committee had ever read the old
"workable" congress constitution, he
would have realized that the new impeachment clause is the exact same
clause contained in the congress constitution approved by the Faculty last
Sciences-dominate-

d

year.

The committee is grasping at
straws, it would seem. University
President Frank G. Dickey has voiced
his approval of the provisions of the
radical new constitution and, although
the faculty is unwilling to admit it, the
University exists for the students, not
the faculty, and the students will be
heard.
It is only a matter of time. We
hope the committee will act quickly
and not draw out its "study" of the
constitution attempting to emasculate
it. A weak, voiceless student government is worse than none at all and
the campus will eventually tire of
having no student government.

I didn't hate the ROTC program
itself so much. It was the commands

I'll never forget the one which
one officer gave when he had rammed
an entire squad into a wall in the
Armory. His command? "From the
wall, come!" They did.
There was another instance in
which a cadet officer almost ran his

tion Huilding almost got a pack full
of cadets that day.
Another time in the Armory, a
cadet officer marched half his platoon
up the stairs and the other half dow n
the hall. His command after he had
seen what he had done? "Backward,

march!''
I hated that officer who kept saying, "Column right flank, inarch."
Never could figure that one out and
neither could the boys.
To show you how much more intelligent the basic ROTC boys are,
a cadet officer during a big parade
downtown one year gave a column
left to his company when it should
have been column right. Hather than
make the officer look like a fool, the
company did a column right.

privilege to serve under the ROTC

Science Backer
To The Editor:
Last Friday I read one of the
most pathetic and ridiculous letters
ever published in the Kernel. In it,
the writer referred to astrology as
having a role of importance in our
daily lives. This person not only had
the audacity to compare astrology
with the great sciences of physics and
mathematics, but he belittled them by
stating in grave error that astrology
was more important than they.
To illustrate his contentions, lie
gave as an example the "fact"' that
Julius Caesar would never have

crossed the Rubicon had not Mars
been in the house of Aries. What
dots this prove? Why, absolutely
nothing, of course. It merely involved
a small outburst of laughter from
myself and several thousand others
who happened to read these babblings. 1 shall not waste my time by
citing the other examples for I am
iine that aiiNone who lead them
noted how stupid they were.
It is
pathetic that an educated person living in the light of
the advances of modern science could
believe that the stars exert a force
upon our lives. Hut a guess is there
are a few who want to digress to the
"good old days" in which alchemy
and astrology, etc., were still flound-- (
