UK Appoints Collier

As Football Coach
By JOHN RYAN'S

Sports Editor
The UK Athletics Association announced late Wednesday afternoon
that Blanton Collier has been
selected head football coach to replace Paul Bryant, who resigned
last week. Collier has been an
coach of the Cleveland
Browns pro team for the past eight
years.

In selecting Collier the University has selected a Kentuckian
to handle the Wildcat reins for the
next three seasons. Collier is a
resident of Paris, Ky.. and coached
at Paris High from 1927 to 194:5,
when he went into service.
Collier arrived in Lexington early
Wednesday morning to confer
with the Athletics Association, and
it wasn't until then that he made
his decision to accept the Wildcat
coaching berth. Before coming to
Lexington, Collier flew to Florida
to discuss the opportunity w ith Faul
Brown, head coach of the Cleveland
Browns and personal friend of Collier.
Gives
While at Florida, Brown told him
that he would not stand in his way
if he wished to accept the Wildcat
(io-Alic-

offer. Subsequently, he came to
Lexington and accepted the position.
Coach Collier said that he had
not decided on his staff at the
present time, and that t lie announcement of his assistants would
be made later.
The signing of Collier brought an
end to much speculation concerning
the identity of the new Wildcat
coach. Many names were frequently
mentioned, as the orobable successor to Bryant.
These included

when he served as Brown's

team during World War II.
Then when Brown became the head
coach of the Cleveland Browns, he
took Collier with him. Collier has

Cleveland for the past eight seasons.

The IFC rush committee main- h
tabled a table at University
tration and new students were
mitted to sign up for rush until 5
p.m. Tuesday. All men w ho re

did not pledge were already eliih!,for the present rush.
To insure students who are new
on the campus the opportunity of
becoming acquainted with the fraternities, all houses held open house
from 7 until 10 p.m. on Wednesday,
and the evening meetings will be
terminated tonight.
Must Submit Lists
On February 19 fraternities will
be expected to submit lists of men
to whom they wish to extend bids
and rushees will file preference
cards in the Student Union Building. That night, fraternity representatives will receive a list of those
men who pledged and will notify
their pledges individually.
The rush committee has distributed the rush calendar and a list of
the general rules to the various fraternities, and also directories listing
all registered rushees. The committee estimated that almost 200 men
would be eligible for the informal
rush period.

Flunking A Course?
Here Is Sure Way
Failing a course isn't really hard, once yoii set
your mind to it. The Oregon State Daily Barometer
has conic up with 13 easy w av s to flunk a class.
Take heed:
1. Enter the course as late as possible. By
changing your mind alxiut the curriculum after
school starts, you should le able to avoid classes
until tlx- second or third week.
2. Do not bother with a textbook.
3. Put your sexial life ahead of everything else.
If necessary, cultivate a few friendships in the class.
Interesting conversation should be able to drown
out tlx1 noise of the lecture.
4. Observe how seedy most professors look and
treat them accordingly.
5. Make yourself comfortable when you study.
If possible, draw up an easy chair by a window.
6. Have a few friends handy during the study
period so you can chat w hen the work becomes dull.
7. If you must study, try to lump it all together
and get it over with. The most suitable time would
be the last wee k of school.
S. Keep your study table
interesting. Place
photographs, magazines, goldfish Ixnvls, games,
and other recreational devices all around while you
are studying.
9. Use mnemonic devices on everything you
learn. Since they are easy to forget, this approach
prevents your mind from getting cluttered up with
stale facts.
10. Never interrupt your reading by checking
on what you have learned. Recitation is not very

Louisville Sports Writer Berated
For Attitude Concerning Wildcats

word of explanation to unwary newcomers on
campus concerning this spot, commonly labeled
"The Gallery": this is a bit of a column about
nothing and everything in general, and (as we said
in our very first edition on Septembe-- r
we will
"offer our biased and uninformed comments on
anything," particularly as it con
cerns the entertainment sphere
and sundry activities outside the
campus whirl. True to our word
we've featured everything from
movie reviews and platter talk to
ol' Kentucky duels, and well continue to do so as long as we can
i"
li get free space to scribble in.
M
And now that we're all sufficiently confused,
we're going to start right off on the wrong foot
by discussing a matter that is neither
nor any of our business but here goes anyway,
r
Rv ans' indulgence:
with
just what is
the NCAA trying to do to our beloved Cats? It
seems that the old adage "if you can't lxat 'em,
join 'em," has been twisted to mean "if you can't

'em, ban em."

Conversation Is Art
Collegians Overlook

)

What do collegians talk about? What is the subject of their conversation when they take time out
for coffee with friends, or when they are out with
a date?
Conversation is an art in which Americans are
despairingly void, and certainly college students
are lacking in this ability. It is especially disheartening when one rememlxTS that this ability,
so useful for giving information and increasing the
value and satisfaction of social contacts, is "The
most accessible of pleasures," as Robert Louis
Stevenson said. It costs nothing; it may be carried
on at almost any time, anywhere, and it is capable
of contributing lxnuitifully to many kinds of
pleasures.
A good conversationalist will respect the other
person's rights to feel as they do, give hospitable as
well as judicious attention to what tlx1 other says,
and never quarrel. He will keep his voice low, but
audible. He will laugh easily, and at the right
times. When another person has something to say,
he will permit him to speak his mind.
Probably tlx most common topic of conversation,
and certainly the imst dangerous, is people. Adverse criticism comes more easily from the common
mortal than does praise, and often proves to Ix of
little interest. Also, everyone tends to fear the
habitual critic, not without reason suspecting that
he himself may be tlx' next victim.
should not be introduced one after
another, but the conversation should dwell on one
worth-whilsubject as long as it is not exhausted.
Is there any good reason why conversation should
not be included as a definite aim of a college education? Certainly very little emphasis is placed on it
in the contemporary classroom. Perhaps this is because students do not demand it.
