Dean Will Not Stop Letters
Unless Law Violation Occurs
By MIKE FEARING
Wednesday News Associate

The administration will act on the .whisky chain letter
circulating the campus only if it violates the University and
state liquor laws, Dr. Leslie L. Martin, dean of men, said late
yesterday afternoon.
The U tter, which is reported to have originated Monday
among the fraternities, deals in liquor or money.
Dean Martin said that as soon
a rumor circulated yesterday
as he became aware of the situ- - which reported that Dean Martin

ation he contacted the federal Post
Office and found that the letter
would violate the law if it were
sent through the mail.
On the University level. If liquor
Is found In the resident houses or
If a minor is involved, which would
violate the state liquor law, action
would have to be taken.
The dean of men said that up
to this point the only action the
administration has taken is to in- struct dormitory counselors to talk
with students about matters In- volving the chain letter.

an(j the campus police had gone
int0 Haggin Hall and caught one

Dean Martin said this was not

true.

He explained that the camous
police did go to Haggin Hall but
on a completely different matter
Involving a student. It had nothing
to do with the chain letter,
The dean of men again empha- sized the fact that the University
would only act when actual liquor
is found within the residence halls.

as the letter does not violate the regulations, it is a personal
matter.
Since Monday the letter has
swept the campus with gold rush
fervor. And, as in a gold rush, the
excitement hit different places at
different times.
It began in the fraternity houses
Monday night, moved to the Men's
Quadrangle and sororities Tuesday, and then Wednesday literally
swept through Keeneland Hall.
Accompanying the letter is the
organized sales pitch of the seller.
Each pitch is the same in that the

loose."

The reason Is then supported
with personal references such as
"I got on the list two hours ago '
and my name is already third from
the top." There are usually five
names and telephone numbers on
each list.
Another reason for buying was
reported as, "She went in at 11
o'clock this morning and has already collected $72."
Reportedly, one chain has been
broken. In effect, when a chain
is broken the persons on the bottom of the list do not receive the
bonus of tlther liquor or money.

Their investment is lost.

SAMPLE OF CHAIN LETTER CIRCULATING IN THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY

Whiskey Chain Letter
You will have 32 bottles of the finest bourbon, scotch, gin,
vodka, or champagne for your holiday stock. Below you will find
a list of five names. In the presence of your friend who is introducing you to this plan, place a call to the party who is on the
top of the list. Introduce yourself and ask his preference of liquor.
Advise him as to when and what time to pick it up. Awards should not
exceed $5.95.
After making the call, remove the first name from the list.
Make 2 copies of the letter. Fill in the remaining 4 names and
phone numbers and place your name in the 5th position. Give
this letter to 2 reliable friends. Make sure they make the call to
the first party in your presence or do not leave the letter. In this
way your own interest as well as those of others and the chain won't
be broken.

grumbling, "Oh no, do wc have to
go through that again?"
An outsider who knew only the
superficial facts of the previous sessions might sympathize with the
grumblers and conclude that preclassification is a failure. The chaos
which marked the last two attempts
seems to indicate this.
Preclassification need not Ik? a
lot of vain bungling, however. Universities with twice the University's
enrollment preclassify and make it
work efficiently year after year. UK
can do it, too.
What is needed is someone with
an uncompromising mind to take
charge of preclassification someone
who will announce the schedule and
ground rules of the thfng and then
stick to them come hell or high water.
In the past two sessions, some
2,500 to 3,000 students, almost half
of the
enrollment, have
failed to preclassify. The excuses for
their not doing so ranged from the
asinine one of ignorance of preclassi- fication to the imprudent one of not

Were these lackadaisical people
told that a bare majority of students
did manage to preclassify and therefore the unclassified ones would have
to enroll through their own efforts
and, as far as the University was
concerned, it was their tough luck
that they were incapable of following instructions?
No. The boobs were pampered

and allowed to classify months after
they were supposed to. Of course this
process upset the preclassification
machinery and made much of the
work already done as useless as fuzz

' Courses, sections, and schedules
were altered to make room for the
late comers, and the innocent suffered because of the sleepers.
Rut not all the fault for the confusion lay with students. There was
also a hampering hesitancy to act
among the administrators of preclassification.
For example, they seemed to fear
saying exactly when a section was
closed. Advisors would receive a
memo from the Registrar's Office in
the morning saying that a certain
English section had no more vacancies. Several hours would pass and
then another memo would announce
that, lo, by some miracle the Registrar's Office had just found that 13
students could still be squeezed into
the section- - Thus students often

to stick to it. We also hope students
will be able to tear themselves- - away
from grills and committee meetings
long enough to preclassify sometime
during those 12 days.
We bet the system will work efficiently this time if these things are
done.

to be held in a constant state of shock
by bad grammar, misspelling and

colloquial cats, one might concede
the authorities their pragmatic point.
Alas, pedestrians and drivers are
human beings and numb easily. The
sign that shocks at first

encounter-assum- ing

that "gonna" is shocking
enough to attract much attention from
readers of modern fiction is taken in
stride at the next viewing. We suspect
that the driver who is jolted into
awareness by "Caution Cruve" may
describe no more expert parabola on
subsequent journeys than if he had
been exposed to the conventional
spelling. In short, down with "Thru-ways"Drive Slow," and "That light's
gonna change." New York should
teach its cats to speak grammatically.

The Saga Of Harry Rare

Kernel Staff Writer

ly so.

Had he not won a seat in Student
Congress in the last fraudulent election? Was he not the reigning monarch of the Intercollegiate Poultry
Festival? Were not his grades among
the very highest in the Department
of Library Science? And, if further
proof be needed, who could deny that
he had participated in the Leadership
Conference earlier in the year?
But this was not enough. For all
h i s meritorious accomplishments,
there Was one group on campus which
bluntly refused to follow the leadership of Harry Rare. They were the
Greeks, particularly the members of
Psi Psi Psi, or, more simply,
Harry Rare was, after all, one of the
few campus leaders who did not wear
pin on his bosom.
a Tri-PNow Harry was a shrewd politician in the truest sense of the much
abused term. He began to understand
that his role in campus. leadership
could be much enlarged with such a
vocal crew as Psi Psi Psi working for
him. Thus, by and by, he attempted
to gain membership in the elite fraternity. He attended their rush parties,
smoked their cigarettes, and joked
with their "swingers" (a term of social
flattery bestowed by
upon
one another).
One afternoon before the induction of new pledges, hopeful Harry
was directed to appear before the fraternity members for a final interview.

The Cats' Grammer
The running battle between New
York city authorities responsible for
safety signs and the city's grammarians still finds the grammarians overpowered. They can protest the newest signs, in which Tweets, a cat, says
"That light's gonna change," but the
complaint falls on unsympathetic ears.
Public relations experts, says a spokesman for the Mayor of New York, insist that the best way to attract
the pedestrian's attention is "To shock
him . . . even at the expense of the
reputation of our cats as strict grammarians."
If pedestrians were, in fact, going

other weird individuals? Had he ever
befriended an intellectual?
To each of the questions, Harry
Rare dutifully shook his head and
replied "Nah."
"Is your parentage pure Aryan

dent, whose name was, it seems, John

Kasper.

Harry Rare replied that, indeed,
his ancestry was composed of death-whit- e
Presbyterians, save Great Aunt
Eunice, who was disfigured by yellow
jaundice and hence sported a golden
pigment until her untimely passing in
1754. And, of course, there was Uncle
Hiram, who worshipped Confucius.
Jaws dropped. Mouths hung open.

who was affectionately known to the
group as "Hitler."
"Any more skeletons in your
closet?"' cried a hostile voice.
Unhappily, there was. Nervous
and sweating, truthful Harry related
how old Grandfather Rare, driven to
incurable insanity by the Great Depression, had voted the straight Communist ticket in the 1932 presidential
election.
"Mr. Rare," snapped vicious President Kasper, "we want none of your
kind in our group. You would Ihj out

beer parties. Our standards are lofty.

And so poor Harry resigned as
