Eisenhower Addresses
Large Coliseum Crowd
By MARNEY BEARD

President Eisenhower had a special word Monday for Kentuckians
In the
year old category.
The President, delivering a major campaign speech to an overflow crowd of 15.000 persons at
Memorial Coliseum, said he was
glad the Kentucky legislature "had
enough sense to give this group
the right to vote."
Earlier in the day, Eisenhower
had said, in a brief talk at Blue-graField after his arrival there,
"I can't tell you how happy I am
that another state has said 'if
you're old enough to fight, you're
old enough to vote.' "
Eisenhower urged the Coliseum
crowd to elect John Sherman
Cooper and Thruston Morton to
the Senate. He urged the
of Congressman John Uobsion
and Eugene Siler and put in a
plug for the other five GOP nominees for the House of Representatives, including "that
Jones."
Wallace 'Wah-Wa- h'
The President's speech, transmitted by loudspeaker to thousands
more outside the Coliseum, was
broken up 45 times by applause as
Eisenhower repeatedly answered
Democratic attacks on his administration.
Eisenhower, calling attention to
the Republican theme of "peace
and prosperity," said the road to
secure world peace "merely began
with the Korean armistice."
"But it did begin. And there
have been no more Koreas anywhere in the world," he said.
The president said "four years,
.
ago you gave me a Job to do
to set America firmly on the road
toward peace and prosperity.
"We have come a long way in
that direction."
"But," he continued, "here are
still some who would go back to
the old road the zigzag directionless road of trial and error."
Eisenhower envisioned an Amer- 18-to-- 21

ID Cards
Recovered
Approximately 20 UK identification cards were recovered by the
Dean of Men, when a student voluntarily reported that he had
taken the cards.
Dean Leslie L. Martin did not
identify the student. He said the
student is undergoing a "very strict
discipline".
Dean Martin said, that about 20
blank ID cards were taken during
registration. He said that after
the student came into the office,
he went out again and returned
with the missing cards.
A man, not a UK student, was
accused of attempting to enter the
Tech football game
here Sept. 22 with an altered ID
card.
Police Judge Thomas J. Ready
fined Harold Eugene Pigue of Lexington $25 and costs on a charge
of impersonation, amended to
breach of peace. Judge Ready dismissed a charge of forgery against
Pigue.
Tigue was arrested at Stoll Field

Word was rcccUcd Tuesday from
Washington. DC, by J. I). Williams, director of the Division of
Property Utilisation of the Kentucky Department of Education
that the application for the surplus
property had been approved. Williams said that the Department of
Health. Education, and Welfare is
now in the process of preparing
deeds of transfer for the tract.
Lloyd Mahan, superintendent of
Agricultural Experiment Farms,
said he welcomes the additional
farm acreage because the present
poultry study area is crowded onto
18'i acres on the experiment farm.
Tentative plans for study on the
new property include housing, feeding, improvement through breeding, pasture for poultry, and management for both broilers and laying hens. Mahan said thnt he expects to use about 3.000 laying hens
and 10,000 broilers for the experiments on the new property.
The property Is located on the
Leestown Pike, on the west side
of the Veterans Administration
reservation, and bordering the
Viley Pike.

false fire alarm at Donovan
Hall early Monday morning erupted
into what' threatened to become a
panty raid on the
women's dormitories.
The ardor of the estimated 200 to
300 raiders was quickly cooled, however, with the appearance on the
scene of a swarm of police.
The alarm was turned in to the
Lexington Fire Department at
12:54 a.m., forcing some 300 male
inhabitants of Donovan to scurry,
pajama clad, into the chill night
air.

When it became evident to the
youths that the alarm was false,
someone, apparently as a "spontaneous" move, suggested a panty
raid.
The group, after a stop at the
men's dormitory quadrangle for
added support, headed across campus for the women's residence
halls.
The crowd was reported to have
reached almost 500 at its peak, but
by the time they reached the
women's dorms, the number had
been reduced by about half.

Next door t(Tthe
owned by a girl named Chimera Emrick. Chimera was
pink and white and marvelously hinged, and Alaric was
hopelessly in love the moment he clapped eyes on her.
Each day he came to the almond grove to woo Chimera,
but to no avail. He tried with all his vigor and guile,
but she, alas, stayed cool.
Then one day Alaric got a brilliant idea. It was the
day before the annual Omaha Almond Festival. On this
day, as we all know, every almond grower in Omaha
enters a float in the big parade. The floats always consist
of large cardboard almonds hanging from large cardboard
"
almond trees.
Alaric's inspiration was to stitch pieces of pigskin
together and inflate them until they looked like big,
plump almonds. 'These sure beat skinny old cardboard
hog-flogge-

almonds," said Alaric to himself. "Tomorrow they will
surely take first prize for Chimera, and she will be mine !"
Early the next morning Alaric came running to
Chimera with his inflated pigskin almonds, but she, alas,
told him she was not entering a float that year. In fact,
she had just sold her almond grove and was moving East
to try out with the Boston Red Sox.
Alaric, upon hearing these glum tidings, flew into a
violent rage. He started kicking his pigskin almonds all
over the place. And who should be walking by at that
very instant but Abner Doubleday!
Mr. Doubleday, who had invented baseball some years
earlier, was now trying to invent football, but without
success. The trouble was, he couldn't figure out what kind
of ball to use. Now,' seeing Alaric kick the pigskin
spheroids, his problem was suddenly solved. "Eureka!"
he cried, and ran to his drawing board, and the rest u

KENTUCKY KERNEL, rridav. Oct. 5.

TIIE

Ire IFb Forgetting
The Real Purpose?
The time, it seems, has come for a
of the basic purpose of college attendance.
There seems to lo a marked tendency on the
part of far too many students at the University of
Kentucky to become "joiners" to participate in as
many campus activities as is humanly possible.
This participation is too often carried out at the
expense of scholarship.
This is not to be taken as a sweeping criticism of
campus organizations without them the University
would be nothing but an academic grind.
Neither is this to be interpreted as a criticism of
the occasional superior student who is capable of
being both an excellent scholar and a valuable
member of many organizations without these people no university could long exist.
These remarks, however, are directed at the vast
number of students who, usually because of some
outside pressure, feel they are a failure unless they
can append a "magic" number of
activities after their name upon graduation.
These are the persons who are not receiving the
full benefit of their education.
The Kernel firmly believes that a student active
in two. or three organizations is much more valuable
to these organizations and to the University and is
in turn receiving more value from college than is
the student with membership in 10 or 15 organizations who, as a result, cannot devote enough time
to any of them.
The blame, for the "joining craze" cannot be
placed completely on the shoulders of students
themselves. The Greek organizations who require
pledges to participate!!! a certain number of other
campus activities as a part of their pledgeship must
share a part of this blame.
Sometimes this enforced joining aids a shy or
timid freshman in becoming a more confident, useful member of society. But too often it results in
an accumulation of deadwood on the. rosters of
many groups that can ill afford it
It is, of course, true that a person who came to
the University of Kentucky (or any institution of
higher learning) and did nothing for four years but
study and attend classes would indeed be a dull
person.
Hut by the .same token, a person who comes to
the University and immediately plunges into a
activities to the virtual
schedule of
exclusion of scholarship is missing a very valuable
portion of his education.
d
A college education should be a
one a balanced one. It sliould include portions of
textbook learning and portions of practical knowP
edge gained through association with othersTin activities ,not scheduled on the academic calendar.
But there should "lie a balance. And, regardless
of what seems to be the prevalent belief, the failure
to accumulate 10 "credits" after your name in the
Kentuckian senior page is not really the sign of a
wasted four years.,

A Balancing Problem

Seventeen years ago John B. Long, general manager of the California Newspaper Publishers' Association, made a motion at the association's annual meeting that has grown into what is now
known as National Newspapor Week.
National Newspaper Week, with the theme of
"Your Newspaper Freedom's Key to Better Living," began October first and will end Monday.
As an added tribute, Kentucky's Lieutenant Governor Harry Lee Waterfield, acting in the absence
of Governor A. B. Chandler, has proclaimed the
rieriod Newspaper Week in Kentucky.
Waterfield's proclamation, dated September 21,
urges all Kentuckians to "reflect upon the newspaper's role in" keeping us an informed people, in
helping us to preserve our liberties and in improving our way of life."
The proclamation goes on to call the newspaper
a "potent force in bringing about civil improvement
through enlightened public opinion in a free press."
The Kernel, now in its 41st consecutive year of
publication and proud of its rank as first in circulation among Kentucky's weekly newspapers, salutes
Lieutenant Governor Waterfield on his proclamation and pledges continued dedication to the proposition of a free press without which National Newspaper Week would be a hollow mockery.
