By VIRGINIA TOWELL

Kernel Staff Writer
UK students are once again
preparing for their final exams
with admirable poise.
Surrounded by textbooks,

lec-

ture notes, and a week's supply
of
University students
have begun their semiannual
No-Do-

hib-

routine. Needless
to say, some students show varied
reactions.

ernation-study

Easiest to spot, is the compulsive perfectionist. (This is the
person who has been disrupting
everyone's sleep for weeks, while
he stays up all night to review.)
Unfortunately, he's also the per

son who is so tired he oversleeps
on the day of the exam.
The second type is the calm,

who decides it's too late now. Usually he faces the same problem
as the
worker; however, he usually gives up and decides to go out for a night with
the boys instead.
Yet, somewhere within this
group of students is the average,
last-minu-

studious,
of person. Convinced that
he's studied enough all along, he
usually walks into the final then
remembers that he didn't review
the first half of his notes.
The third type is generally

known as the
worker.
Seen at all the campus gatherings,
this scholar (?) doesn't even open
a book until the night before
finals. Then, aided by coffee and
pills, he attempts to do a semester's work in one night. Sometimes he succeeds.
Finally there is the student
last-minu-

Faced with finals, he too, may
exhibit some of the traits ofthese
other students, yet, somehow he
buckles down and gets it done.
If you have studied throughout the semester what can you
do now to prepare for finals?
Mrs. Louise Dart, UK counselor, has a few suggestions to
offer. '

First, according to her, plana the test. Avoid
just
schedule of study for each exam, before the exam, since this will

Read the questions carefully,
throughout the day. If old tests

freshman, Bob Pemberton, today
claimed the world's record for
taking the longest shower.
Pemberton, a commerce major
from Louisville stayed in a first

He began his marathon at 7 p.m
yesterday and emerged at 11 a.m.

Pemberton was moved from

10 p.m. into a smaller room with
only two showers because of a
possible inconvenience to other

Fellow students dragged him
down the hall, pouring water
on him all the way so that he
would be "taking a shower" all
the time.
He originally got the shower
marathon idea when he read a
story about an Springfield, Mass.,
college student breaking the original record by staying submerged for 15 hours, 41 minutes.
The student, Steven Sher of
American International College,
said he "did it because of the

Near the 11 o'clock termination, friends kept calling out

After leaving the shower, Pemberton exclaimed, "I'm soaked

Problems Of Housing Elderly
A University

written the lead article for the
current issue of the Kentucky

the Kentucky Society of Architects.
"Designing housing for the
elderly," wrote Dr. Earl Kauff-madirector of the Council on
Aging," is becoming an increasingly important source of professional responsibility for archi-

that professional
architects will have more and
more responsibility in considering the aged in designing dwellings.

wrote. "No one knows this better
than architects who have had experience in meeting the require-

ments of public and private finance agencies."
For aid in discovering what
designs should involve, architects
are turning to all resources available, including social scientists
and especially gerontologists, he
said.
Gerontologists, according to
Dr. Kauffman, may be of greatest
value to the architect, for these
professionals are aware of the
physical and social needs and
problems of the elderly and can
make suggestions for designs
which would take into consideration comfort, efficiency, and
safety.
Ideal designs, Dr. Kauffman
said, "can contribute to the reduction of that one great problem of aging social isolation."
He explained that as many older

navia was converted.
During the early period of
Christianity, it was the custom
to sing carols, or joyful songs, in
the streets at Christmas time. As
the people sang from house to
house, they were given food, clothing, and money.
And Christmas presents took
the place of the pagan custom of
exchanging gifts at the New Year.
Early priests suggested Christmas giving as a symbol of good
will, generosity, and kindliness,
in the manner of Jesus Christ.
Thus the
custom
grew, and, when the Christmas
tree came along, it was only natural to put the gifts under it.
And every age-ol- d
symbol we
use during the Christmas holiday
to caseason, from
rol singing, has the same joyous
ring the world over.
"Merry Christmas to all!"

More Power, Less Security

"From the Soviet point of
view the (Oriental security) picture is similar (to that of the U.S.)
but much worse. The military
power of the U.S.S.H. has been
steadily increasing since it became an atomic power in 1919.
Soviet national security, however,
has been steadily decreasing. I
the U.S. could unilaterally decide to destroy the
U.S.S.R. and the U.S.S.R. would
be absolutely powerless to prevent it. That country could only,
at best, seek to wreak revenge
through whatever retaliatory capability it might then have left."
Comforting? Not really. There
is another side of this rather catastrophic coin. It is almost exactly like that above.
Ever since shortly after World
War II the military power of the
U.S. has been "rapidly and inexorably diminishing." Today the
U.S.S.R., again on the basis of its
own decision and determination
to accept the inevitable retaliation, "could launch an attack on
the U.S. using intercontinental
missiles and bombers carrying
thermonuclear weapons. . .American casualties could well be in
the order of 100 million."
These conclusions are by
Jerome 13. Wiesner and Herbert
York, both distinguished physicists and participants in the development of this country's thermonuclear research. Both were
scientist advisers to the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. In an article in the Scientific American they argue that
further atmospheric tests are unnecessary. They explain why
there can be no technical solution
to the problem of national security. They believe that a Soviet
military
technologist,
writing
from the point of view of the
U.S.S.R., would write an almost
identical paper.
"Both sides in thearmsrace,"
conclude nuclear scientists Wiesner and York, "are thus confronted by the dilemma of steadily increasing military power and
steadily decreasing national security. It is our considered professional judgment that this dilemma has no technical solution.
If the great powers continue to
look for solutions in the area of
science and technology only, the
result will be to worsen the situation. The clearly predictable

course of the arms race is a stea
dy open spiral downward into

oblivion."
Fallout shelters are good only
for those outside the blast areas.
If we build them to house millions, then the next step is blast
shelters to protect the unlucky
who will be subject to blasts.
At best, the shelter concept is
flimsy and unreliable.
Only the Chinese, who have
just entered the nuclear race,
seem to want to make use of
