Freedom Hall
Boom Or Bust?
While listening to, and reading about, the recent
State High School Basketball Tournament in Louisville, we were a trifle uncertain at times as to
players,
exactfy what the feature attraction was-t- he
as they st rived for the championship trophy, or the
various Lexington and Louisville sports authorities
verbally debating the merits of Freedom Hall,
where the tournament was staged.
As we listened to accounts of the games over
the local radio stations, we became firmly convinced that Freedom Hall, the new, 18,000-sea- t
stadium at the Kentucky State Fairgrounds, must
be somewhat on a par with an oversized cow barn
an image fostered in no small measure by the
criticisms of the local announcers and by the comments )f the "impartial'' interviewees they had on
their shows from time to time. But, as we turned
to the columns of Earl Huby, sports editor of the
we received the distinct
Louisville Courier-Journaimpression that Freedom Hall must be the most
magnificient edifice ever constructed to. house basketball action.
Since we didn't have the good fortune to see the
tournament, it is impossible for us to judge the
validity of any of the evaluations of Freedom Hall
that were advanced. But it seems patently obvious
that both sides in the controversy could not have
attempts
been correct. And by their

asininity.

complaint. But it hardly appears to be in the best
of taste to recount such an incident as a basis for
why the state tournament should be moved back to

To the Editor:

.

Since returning to campus this year after scleral years'
absence, I have been impressed by two new emphases
TrFtruTTKiiaTioTT)
is the increasing desire on the part of the students to- be
independent to 'make their own decisions, to run their
own organizations without direction from the administration or other groups, and to direct their own pi hate
lives. This is an extremely mature attitude, one that
should be praised.
-

However, in exerting their independence, the behavior of many students has shown another attitude
which is so immature that it negates the maturity shown
by independence. This is the second apparent new; emphasis in the behavior of college students the relusal to
assume the responsibilities which accompany independence. Students who snickered behind their hands or
laughed aloud in their rooms or in the grill when Dean
Holmes warned them that their morality was being seriously questioned are some of those in this group. Obviously these students who are allowed the freedom and
privilege of being on their own at night refuse to assume
their responsibility to the University, the people of Lexington, their families and themsehes of maintaining acceptable behavior in public.
Last week, however, the Kernel reported a notable exception to this general trend when it reported on the
action taken by House Presidents' Council regarding
later hours for women students. The action of this group
seems wise in two respects, lirst, House Presidents' Council assumed the responsibility placed on it by 'the recent
criticism of the women students at the University. It
did so by rejecting a proposal which would allow the
girls more freedom when some of them have not accepted the responsibility of the freedom they now have.
Second, it refused to allow another campus organization,
notably SGA, to oerrule the decision that it, the elected
governing body of the gills in residence, had made.
House President's Council should be congratulated for
its mature handling of this problem and for standing
up under the fire of SGA, the Kernel and some tin night-lesstudents. Also the Council wNcv, Kit the matter
open to future discussion. Its numbers undoubtedly
hope, as many other students do, that the ones who continue to give the I'niursity a bad name and thus pie-vethe others from receiving the ptiilege of later
hours will soon assume their lcspoiisibilitv also.

Thompson.

There weren't too many slurs cast on the "filthy

In the meantime, Mr. Ruby was filling his column
with all bits of praise of Freedom Hall he could
eke out. Perhaps his greatest achievement was devoting his entire column last Saturday to the writings of one Allan. Read, who, in showing his gratitude for such a magnanimous gesture, gleefully
used the space to all but sanctify Freedom Hall.'
Mr. Thompson, apparently not satisfied with the
media of the air waves, was also busily heaping
more coals on the fire with such newsy items as

possible. 'I here has been a great deal of misunderstanding. 'I his misundeistanding cannot be attributed to any
one person or group. Some of it might lie in the lack of
knowledge that exists in relation to the SGA constitution
which was ratified by the studcijts last December and
also accepted by the faculty. The'eonstitution specifically
states that the' SGA ". . . is to act as the responsible
authority in relations pertaining to students and af
fecting student TdganTations." I he key here is "authority" and "student organizations." The position of the
SGA on campus should be one of authority. It should
hae the right to deal with the problem ol later hours
as well as other matters which might arise from time 'to
time. I he methods which it may use might be wrong.
The question tan only be settled in one manner. 'I he
girls themsehes must be given the free choice of yes or
no. 'I lure must be no loopholes tied on to the question.
'1 he question of 1:30 permission should be handled
..separately. I believe in pure democracy whenever possible. 1 think Dean Holmes does also. And 1 think all
the students in the University share this conviction
with me.
Our task has been set forth. To the SGA, I s.iy it is
your testing time so meet the test. To Dean Holmes, I
sav hae faith in the girls themsehes. To Hariiet Halt
and the f louse President's Council, I say give serious
thought to all sides of this matter and disregard any
personal friction that might hae arisen. All ol us iae
been paitly wrong, but in the same light everyone concerned has meant well. SGA, Mrs. Holmes, the HPC,
and all concerned must come together with understanding and settle this matter. Ultimately the final choice
should be made by the girls themsehes for they must
live with this problem. It is our duty now to
our own positions. Could we be wrong?

Yours, For Democracy
