FRANKFORT Gov. Edward T. Breathitt became the first
petition presented Monday by a
signer of a
student delegation from the University.
The governor signed three copies of the petition, one addressed
to President Lyndon B. Johnson and one each to Kentucky Senators
John Sherman Cooper and Thurston B. Morton. Each read:
"We, the undersigned students, staff and faculty at the University
of Kentucky, desire to express our support of our fighting forces
in Vietnam.

New Student Group Begins

With Support Of Governor

Gov. Breathitt is chairman of
the University Board ofTrustees.
Students for Victory in Vietnam, a new campus organization
as yet unrecognized by the University, sponsored the petition.
Representing the group at the
signing were Lister Witherspoon,
senior law student; Paul Valdes,
sophomore agriculture major;
David C. Short, second year law
student, and James Esterley, graduate student in political science.
"I've been very much impressed by high school and college students in their support of
our country's position," Breathitt
told the delegation. "I applaud
you for doing it."
However, the governor noticed that only three petitions
were available for his signature.

IFC Changes Dance Location
Continued from Pare 1
Committee
head
Hernie
Shivcly, University athletic director, said last night he had
outlined procedure for requesting use of the Coliseum to IFC
nearly three weeks ago.
The written request was not
placed on his desk until Thursday morning, after he had left
for Houston, he said. The remaining committee members,
Jane Batchelder, Betty Jo Palmer,
and Jack Hall, took it under consideration Thursday afternoon,
and turned it down because of
the outside agent's involvement.
The committee met again
Monday morning to try to help
work out an alternate location.

Mr. Shivcly, then in Memphis
speaking to the University of
Tennessee's Quarterback Club,
was called and told that "Vice
President Johnson was doing
everything possible to help the
students," he said.
The Temptations were eliminated from the show by mutual
agreement. "They wanted out,
and we wouldn't have been able
to afford them in the new location," Porter said.
Porter said Jokers 3 stood to
lose $4300 if the show was cancelled. A small South Carolina
college was getting two of the
groups at a reduced rate Saturday because of the Kentucky
appearance. Its show would have

The

University Hospital is
attempting to establish an "on-calblood bank from the University's family of faculty, staff,
and students.
Dr. Wellington B. Stewart of
the Pathology Department said
they are hoping to compile a list
of would-b- e
donors who could
be called as needed in emergencies.
In the event that a person
is called to donate a pint of
blood the University Hospital
will pay that person $10. Credit
for possible future blood requirements can be given him or his
family at any hospital in the
United States.

He then spoke of the summer
governors' conference in Washington where he and his counterparts met with the President and
the nation's military leaders for
a briefing on the Vietnam sit-

uation.
"These are able, fine and dedicated men," Breathitt said. "I
think it is incumbent upon us
citizens to support them."
Those protesting the Vietnam
conflict

"miswere termed
guided" by the governor, who
said he believes them to be a
small group and not the voice
of the majority.
After the signing ceremony,
Esterley said the petition would
be delivered to President Johnson
and Kentucky's congressmen,
both representatives and senators, before Thanksgiving. Collection of signatures is scheduled
to end Friday, the end of the
three-da- y
program.
Just how the petitions will
be delivered is still tentative,
according to Esterley, who said,
"It may be in person, by mail,
carrier pigeon or pony express."

been, he added.
No tickets had been sold for
the Coliseum concert.
The committee emphasized it
made no value judgment on the
groups or their type of music
in turning down IFC's request.
However, misbehavior resulting
in near riot at a prev'ous Colill

show may be
an underlying
cause of the
policy's rigid enforcement, a reliable source has said.
About two years ago, chaos
resulted during a "rock"' show
but was blamed on teenagers in
the audience, and not necessarily
University students, it has been
said. (In order to financially supe
rock stars, atport
tempts had to be made to draw
people from outside the University community.)
A committee member said use
of the Coliseum has been okayed
for such shows in the past by
previous committees. Since September, w hen the new committee
took over, programs not meeting
the established policy have been
prohibited in the Coliseum, he
said.

There exists a University rule

that bicycles are not to be ridden
on University sidewalks, yet many
motorcyclists are making sidewalks
more hazardous than bicyclists ever
could.
Many professors are justly complaining about the excessive noise
being made. Although there are
only a few who have to attract
attention in this way, the rest of
us are included with them in the
complaints.
This problem has been discussed
in faculty and board meetings. Several faculty members have proposed
that motorcycles be banished from
the campus. A University policeman said he thought that this ban
would occur within thirty days.
Hopefully those responsible will
take heed and end their dangerous
and annoying practices. Rules concerning motorcycles should be included in all future schedule books.
The University should make known
to the students in what areas, grass
or otherwise, motorcycles are to be
parked. Surely the University will
see fit to punish, by fine or ban,
only those who violate the rules.

Lake Forest College Experiments With Best Students

Classless Career May Face Future Student

The Collegiate Press Service
CHICAGO The
ssibility of completing an entire undergraduate career
from registration to bachelor's degree-with- out
ever attending classes is being
offered to 75 college freshmen this fall.
The experiment, underwritten by a
$325,000 Ford Foundation grant, is underway at Iake Forest College. A national
selection committee picked the students,
all of whom had accelerated high school

preparation.
The participants pursue their degrees

through faculty-guidestudy, free of the
usually required courses, class attendance,
grades, and credits. "Students, however,"
William Bart let, director of the program,
explained, "must show a proficiency in
math and a foreign language" and must
passu comprehensive exam inthe humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
They must, in addition, follow a major
program the end result of which will be a
research project and a research paper.
Each student has a faculty adviser who
acts in the role of "preceptor, critic, and
guide." Each student also has access to
visiting scholars, lecturers, and artists.
Hart let says the program has three
objectives:
1. Without course requirements the student will be able to follow the range of
his own abilities and interests;
2. Specifically, he will be able to participate in more interdisciplinary study,
avoiding the barriers of formal courses;

3. Student-facultrelationships should
improve, as the elimination of grading
will correspondingly decrease a professor's
"monitoring" function.
Other schools are also experimenting
with the standard grading system.
The California Institute of Technology
faculty voted to drop grades in freshman
courses last fall. The Cal Tech faculty
said this was to make the transition between high school and college a smoother
one for entering students. Freshman level
courses arc now evaluated n a pass-fabasis.
Courses are being conducted as before:
there are the same assignments, quizzes,
and tests. Tests are graded numerically.
At the end of the course, numerical grades
are used to determine whether the student
passes or fails. Letter grades are neither
given to the students nor kept by the
professors.
The standard grading procedures are
followed at Cal Tech in all courses above
the freshman level.
According to Dean Strong the system
evaluation. The
is undergoing a two-yefaculty will determine whether or not to
continue the program at the end of this
year.
At Carlcton
College in Northficld,
Minn., uppcrclassmen become able to take
courses in which grades arc either pass or
fail as of this fall. No letter grades are
given.
At Coddard College in Vermont, no

specific courses are required, class attendance is not checked, and no grades are
given.
The student is completely equal with
the professor in the community government of the college, which meets twice
a month to set policy. Students are asked
not to address their teachers as "doctor,"
or "professor," or "mister." First names
are preferred.
The average student takes three courses
a semester. The
courses meet
once a week for three hours. Thus students have classes only on three days a
week. The rest of their time is their own.
Schools officials say this plan allows
every student to learn at his own speed
without worrying about keeping up with
the rest of the class at the expense of
comprehension.
San Jose State College in California
is experimenting with a program in which
selected freshmen will be allowed to study
at their own speed without courses, tests,
or grades.
The program, now in its second year,
is worth 48 lower division credits. Six
e
tutors are in charge of the instruction of the 130 students in the program.
Crades are eventually assigned, but
only at the end of the year. Each student's
tutor evaluates his work and when the
year is'completed assigns a letter grade
for the equivalent courses. School officials say this is necessary so the students

in the project can be placed back into
the normal grading system at the end of
the year.

Beginning this fall, Princeton University is offering its students the opportunity to take four courses under a pass-fai- l
system instead of receiving letter grades.
Students can choose any course outside
of their major department in which they
wish to be graded on the pass-fai- l
system.
They can only take one course under this
system during a term and cannot take
more than four during their undergraduate
years.
Study of a possible revision in the
grading system is underway at Washington University in St. Louis. Under the
program suggested there, students in the
first and second year would be told only
if they pass or fail courses and would
not be given a letter grade.

of Arts and Sciences, in announcin
