Mystery Handbills

Appear On Campus
The handbills found on campus
early yesterday morning were evidently inspired by a Kernel editorial, "Lesh Have
which
appeared in last week's Thursday
edition.
The tongue-in-chee- k
editorial
pointed out that Kentucky law requires the presidents of every
academy, college and university to
"have presented for a period of 30
minutes to the entire student body
in assembly, at least on two occasions each term or semester . . .
the scientific, social and moral aspects of alcoholic beverages, stimulants and narcotics."
Printed by a group callimj themselves the "Carrie Nation Chapter,
Students for the Abolition of
Alcohol," the handbills demanded
temperance lectures and called on

the University to "obey the law."
The SUB Program Director's Office reported that such a group is
not included on its list of campus organizations.
Assistant
Dean of Men John
said yesterday he had
Proffitt
heard rumors in the men's dormitories last week that such a "prohibitionist" movement might be
underway.
However, he added that he knew
nothing either about the handbills
or the group
which had them
printed.
A Kernel reporter noticed the
handbills as he returned to his
night and
home late
Sunday
brought one of them to the Kernel
office yesterday so that an engraving could be made of it. He

the student to realistically evaluate

"Students are very unrealistic,"

Cry Softly, Soldier
To The Editor:

To The Editor:
Because of the historical and religious sigaificanca of the crucifixion and
the unmistakable symbolism of the cross
in our society, the meaning which you
intended in Wednesday's cartoon was
plainly in evidence.
I think that you owe many people a
more meaningful apology than the remarks of Thursday's editor's note under
Miss Copenhaver's letter. The great majority of your readers that I have talked
with would prefer that you continue
your humor in a different vein.

Cry softly, my soldierl For you may
have died in vain. You gave your life
to eternity so that we, the living, might
enjoy the fruits of democracy. But the
fruits are withering and may yet shrivel
into nothingness.
Cry in despair, dear soldier! For you
thought our enemies were from without.
Little did you know that such basic

Humor Misinterpreted
To The Editor:
In regard to the several letters which
express violent disapproval of the "bad
taste" exhibited by Mr.
Herndon's
"Cartoon of the Cross" which appeared
in the Kernel last Wednesday, it is my
opinion that these letters reflect not
moral or religious conviction but rather
an inability to properly interpret a carefully constructed bit of humor.
To
those who looked at the cartoon with any
degree of precision, it was obvious that
the dress of the Roman soldiers typified a
period of history approximately 250 years
after the death of Christ and that the
point of the cartoon was to mock the
early Roman counterpart of our modern

capital punishment.

Cm the basis of these letters, that the

bias and
lack of insight that I feel are inherent
in the writers of the dissenting letters.

Cry in anguish, beloved soldier! For
we who say we believe in the American
way but can't really practice it in our
daily lives. It is not the danger of Communism, nor the danger of creeping inflation, nor any of the other frequently
mentioned dangers that is destroying us.
It is the danger from ourselves by not
actively living the American creed that
is decimating our democracy. Autocracy
is winning our minds and hearts and
may eventually capture our very souls.
How else can you explain that a group
supposedly representing college unanimously voted down joining an organization accused of being Communist without any substantiating proof, simply on
the basis of that charge? How else can
you explain that a man and an organization were called an ugly name without
any proof being offered?
Yes, dear soldier, the form of de-- .

An Alcoholic's Haven

To The Editor:
In view of the uproar that has been
raised by Cooperstown residents,
it
would appear that the time is at hand
for University officials to make known
the reasons for increasing rent on Cooperstown apartments.
The only reason brought forth so
far, that seems to have any validity,
comes through the grapevine. It has
Wen suggested to this writer that the
University is having some difficulty renting Shawneetown apartments lecause of
the difference in rates. That is, some
families would rather wait for the lower-price- d
Cooperstown apartments than
take a more
immediately
available
Shawneetown apartment.
Add to this the fact that they must
increase the rates in Shawneetown even
more, and the situation could become
critical. Consequently, they may feel
that the only way they can cover up the
mess that has arisen is to raise Cooperstown rates enough to "keep them in

To The Editor:
Three cheers for SC! Not only has

It,

Some persons have gone so far as to
suggest that those who do not like the
rise in rent can move "out. Such a statement reflects a complete constipation of
thought. Many married students choose
a school partly on the basis of the cost
of housing. Then when an increase is
forced upon them, it is not always practical to pick up and move or transfer
to another college. The student
has
very little choice but to remain where
he is until he completes whatever degree he is working toward.
If it is ethical to raise the rent in the
middle of a student's school career, then
it would follow that it is also ethical to
wait until the middle of a semester to
inform students in a raise in tutition for
that semester. One possible way they
could get around the above problem
would be to raise the rents for incoming
students only. This way the student
could plan ahead, and if the rates are
beyond his means he could plan to look
elsewhere.
Perhaps it is somewhat picayunish, but
it might be pointed out in closing that
the Office of the Dean of Men sent out
an information sheet, when Cooperstown was first
being opened, which
stated that it was anticipated that the
rates would be lowered as the loan was
being paid off. It would be interesting
to see figures on that rate at which the
Cooperstown loan is now being paid.
Perhaps University officials could 1m?
challenged jto defend their position on
the above matter. At any rate they should
be aware of some of the things that are
being discussed among Cooperstown

residents."

Vox Populi?
To The Editor:
There was a time when students at
the University rose in their wrath to
riposte the studied insult.
They had a quiet pride in their intelligence, in their sense of humor. They
were fiercely possessive of their right
to a sense of the ridiculous. They enjoyed the quiet chuckle, the thoughtful
provocation, the deliberate demarcation
between the inane and the insane.
And when these things were deliberately taken from them they became
articulate and purposefully angry.
Hut apparently no longer.
For Pogo is gone from the Lexington
Leader, and with him Howland and
Albert and the tluee bats. Without a

A

survey, bless its picayunish heat, revealed he had a relatively
low readership far below Orphan Annie.
Pogo was dropped, tentatively, in anticipation of vociferous rebuke from th
UK campus.
No rebuke came.

Julia Barnhart, champion fencer in her PE class last semester,
is interested in organizing a fencing club at UK.
"I recommend fencing to girls
because it helps them become more
graceful," says Julia. She enrolled
in the class to help her in dancing.
Regardless of your height and
weight, you can benefit from fencing. If you are tall you will have
the advantage of long reach; if
you can get in close for the touch.
Fencing will reduce you if you
are fat and will build your muscles
if you are thin.
