Are ycu poing to vote today?

Some students hold varying opinions on the question,
a Kerne) Inquiry indicates.
Asked if they planned to vote In the election, students made various replies. One student answered, "for
what?" Two said, yes; two laughed, and two asked, when
and where to go to vote.
Oeorte Buchanan, engineering graduate student, replied "fcr what?" He said that student governments had
worked well at ether schools but felt that our congress
had too many ups and downs. Reference to the stuffing
of the baJltt box two years ago was made. Reluctantly, he
said he might vote if a friend asked him.
Senior physical education major Bob Butler said.
"Althoufch 1 lost interest two years ago when the fraud
occurred, I imagine I'll vote."
Another student. Carole Reld, an undetermined
major fitm Harrodsburg. said she had not planned to
vote. After a chuckle, she said that she felt our congress
is effective.
Nancy Scott, senior psychology major, feels Student
Congress has a purpose, but it will have to work to be
effective. When asked if a'ie planned to vote, she laughed and replied she may; however, tomorrow will be a
biisy day for her.
Emily Oreer, a Junior home economics major, will
vote. She dees net think the students are right to consider the organisation as a rubber stamp administration.
Antbicpckgy freshman. Billie Pigg is definitely

planning to vote. Although he didn't know too much about
the organization, he expressed the belief that the SC
seeks to better student life.
"One of the main weaknesses we have right now is
that there are candidates, not yet elected, who are already running for office in Student Congress and are
soliciting support from fellow SC candidates," Kathy
Cannon, a pre-laJunior, believes.
"This soliciting has caused considerable confusion.
First of all, the gentleman running for president has not
bren elected by his college, nor have the people he is relying on for votes been elected from their various colleges,
nor does anyone know who else might be running for
the same office. After all, they might want someone else
for president after the election is ever," Kathy quipped.
The polls will be open from 8:39 a.m. to 4 p.m. The
sis polling areas are set up as follows:
Voting for representatives In the College of Agriculture and Home Economics will be in the Home Economics

Christopher Columbus walorn in Genoa on August 25, 1451.
auto
Ilia father, Ralph T. Columbus, was in the three-minuwash game. His mother, Eleanor (Swifty) Columbus, was ft
.printer. Christopher was an only child, except for his four
brothers and eight sisters. With his father busy all day at the
auto wash and his mother constantly away at track meets,
young Columbus was left pretty much to hiti own devices.
However, the lad did not sulk or brood. He was an avid reader
and spent all his waking hours immersed in a book. Unfortunately, there was only one book iu (lenoa at the time Care of
the Uort by Aristotle and after several years of reading Care
of tlie Horse, Columbus grew restless. So when rumor reached
him that there was another Uok in Harcelona, tiff he ran an
fast as his fat little legs would carry him.
The rumor, alas, proved false. The only book in Barcelona
was Cuiilur un Culollo by Aristotle, which proved to lie nothing
more than a Sunish translation of Care of the Home.
to dream ot going
Hittcrly disappointed, Columbus
to India where, according to legend, there were thousands of
IsHiks. i'tit the only way to go to India was on horseback, and
lifter so many years of reading Care of the llursi , Columbus
never wanted to chip eyes on a horse again. Then a new thought
btruck him: erhaps it was possible to get to India by sea!
Tired with his revolutionary new idea, Columbus raced to
the court of Ferdinand and Isabella on his littli- - fat legs (Columbus, though six feet tall, Was plagued with little fat lej:s all his
life) and pleaded his case with such fervor that the rulers were
JHTsuaded.
On OcIoIkt 12, 14!)2, Columbus set foot on the New WorM.
The following year he returned to Spain with a cargo of wonders
seen in Europe spices and metals and plants and
never
flowers and most wondrous of all tobacco! Oh, what a sensation tobacco caused in Europe! The filter had long since
invented (by Aristotle, curiously enough) but nobody knew
what to do with it. Now Columbus, the Great Discoverer,
made still another great discovery: he tisik a filter, put tobacco
in front of it, and invented the world's first filter cigarette!
Through the centuries filters have been steadily improved
and so has tobacco, until today we have achieved the ultimate
in the filter cigarette
Marlboro, of course! Oh, what a piece
of work is Marlboro! Great tobacco, great filter, great smoke!
Anil so, good friends, when next you enjoy a line Marlboro
Cigarette, give a thought to the plucky Genoese, Christopher
Columbus, whose vision and perseverance made the whole
lov ely thing possible.

Sorority pledge meetings were Interrupted throughout the campus
last Wednesday night as members
of Phi Delta Theta arrived with
their annual gift of one red rose
to each sorority pledge.
This idea, Initiated only four
years ago, has now become a tradition with the Phi Delts.
Dave Graham, president of the
fraternity, stated that the purpose
of this rather expensive endeavor
Is to give "our pledges an opportunity to become acquainted with
the sorority pledges."
Graham said that 35 dozen roses
were ordered for the presentation
at an expense of $125.
"It was worth it, though," he
added.

Wrist Slapping Days Arc Over
Sigma Nu fraternity recently demonstrated what most people have
known for a long time. Namely, that
there is more than "Brotherhood" and
the "American Way" behind some of
walls of communal
the
college living. There may be, for instance, illegal liquor, and indeed, a
seemingly willful disregard of all rules
and regulations.
Last week UK students learned
that Sigma Nu had served liquor during rush reception hours and had, in
addition, pledged at least one rushce
before Sept. 25, the day authorized
pledging began. For its utterly oblivious attitude toward established rules,
Sigma Nu was fined $123 by the
Council Judiciary Committee and was told by the committee
that it could not pledge new members
during the fall semester this year.
Of course Sigma Nu got nothing
more than it deserved. Pouring liquor
down freshman gullets and disregarding pledge rules seems not only childish ahd unwise, but inane, in light
of siich fraternal goals as brotherhood,
community service, and leadership.
Much credit is due the
Council's Judiciary Committee for insisting on stringent punishment for Sigma Nu. Happily, the
seem to be
days of
over.
"Sigma Nu's actions are a direct
violation of existing rush rules," Dick
Wallace, committee chairman, said.
"They bring discredit to the UK
fraternity system as a whole, and we
cannot afford to let the actions of a
few individuals undermine the rest
of the fraternity system on campus."
The wonder is that Sigma Nu tried
to have the judgment reversed by
Inter-fraterni-

having the case reviewed before the
entire Interfraternity Council. Such
an appeal seemed doomed to failure
from the very beginning. But Sigma
Nu persisted, and IFC unanimously
upheld the Judiciary Committee's decision against the fraternity.
It is unfortunate, however, that
IFC President Tom Scott decided to
bar reporters from the council's review of the Sigma Nu judgment.
"No outsiders at all can attend
this meeting," Scott said. "Whether
we will allow Kernel reporters in any
of our meetings this year w ill have to
be decided in the future."
Ferhaps IFC is waiting for some
sort of guarantee that this newspaper
w ill publish only the "good" facts and
ignore the "bad" ones. No such guarantee is forthcoming. The dark secrets
of the Interfraternity Council are not
national security items and will not
be treated as such in the Kernel.

Kernels
The classroonv experience must
pose a threat. The student must be
threatened; he must be driven outside himself; he must be compelled to
question himself and his values and
the values of those among whom he
lives. The classroom should undermine the security he feels in family,
church, fraternity, or whatever the
group of which he is most vitally a
part. This is not to say that the
classroom should breed insecurity; it
means that the student should be
thrown into a state of creative tension in which the foundations for the
only valid security can be laid, that
security which rests on individual

Congressional Sour Note

Jittery Feelings About U.S. Government Trends

campaign.
There was little or no statesmanlike explanation to the public which
would help it pass judgment on
whether the administration had asked
more than was really needed i.i the
hope of a favorable compromise.

Congress closed last week on an
extremely sour note.
An attempt to tote up some- of the
things that have happened in Washington this year produces a certain
sense of unease about trends in American government.
The House passed an appropriation bill in its last hours more than
400 million dollars above the figure
approved by the Senate, and then adjourned without allowing any time
for conference compromises. The
Senate was left to swallow the larger
figure or leave the administrative departments without their appropriations. Senators were outraged.

During the last weeks of the session, in the dispute over the foreign
aid appropriation, even a Solomon

interests of the nation, and who was

There has been unease for years
over the transition within Congress
from government under majority and
minority party responsibility to government by bloc. The actions of both
the lilxral and conservative coalitions this year serve to heighten that

It was just as difficult to assess
the opposition to the actual money
figure as opposed to the issue of
methods of financing which involved
a fight over legislative and administrative prerogatives. Was it based
more on economy, on dissatisfaction
with the results of the aid program
abroad, or on maneuvering for bargaining positions on other issues, such

unease, regardless of the merits of
the issues involved.
A strong argument can be made
for individual independence in Congress when it represents a conscientious effort at flexibility ami objectivity in dealing with the nation's
welfare. When it deteriorates into
coalitions and a mere fight for the
