THE READERS' FORUM
Military Ball Debt
To The Editor:
While I can appreciate the concern of members of your staff about
the debt owed to the Student Congress by the three honorary student
societies, your article on page 8 of
the Kentucky Kernel for Thursday,
April 27, 1961, contains several errors
of fact.
First, the debt is not, and never
;has been, $2,200 as you state. In
'February of 1959, a loan of $1,500
was made to the Army and Air Force
ROTC units to finance a Military Ball.
On June 23, 1959, a payment of
$66(do was made to the Student
Congress account, leaving a balance
of $S33.35 due on the debt.
Apparently, nothing was paid on
this debt during the
school
year.
Shortly after assuming the duties
of professor of military science in
August of 19G0, I was appraised of
this debt. In conjunction with Col.
Roland W. Boughton, professor of
aerospace science, a complete survey
1959-19G- 0

was made of the situation, and an
agreement was reached with the three
military societies and with the Division of Accounting and Budgetary
Control to establish a Military Ball
f
account. Into this account,
of all profits of each Military Ball
are to be deposited each year, until
the debt to the Student Council is
repaid.
At this time, there are still three
outstanding bills for the 1961 Military Ball. While it can not be determined exactly, it appears that a small
payment (approximately $35.00) will
be made in the near future towards
the debt from this year's profits. This
process will be continued until the
debt is liquidated.
In summary, the debt is owed by
three honorary student ROTC societies, not by the ROTC; there ARE
plans to pay off the debt; the debt
never was as high as your article
stated, and the debt will be paid.

Key To SC Successto the

To The Editor:
The mass student apathy of this
University is increasing as the years
pass. We need only to look at the
increasing number of campus functions that have or are dying out.
Prominent examples are Lances'
Carnival, Creek Week, float participation, big weekends, and the weak
student body enthusiasm over campus
politics and organizations. Those students of at least three years' vintage
can readily testify to this decline.
While this apathetic situation may
have many solutions, a strong possibility would be a well organized,
properly functioning student government. The key to a successful student government is a Student Congress based on a workable constitution.
If Mr. Terrell's statement that
"he felt safe in assuming that not 10
percent of the assembly members
could not now inform their constituency of half the policies they approve," is correct then it seems logical that the present constitution is
not adequate if it lets such "dead
wood" personnel continue to represent the student body. Such conservative thinking as "it would be unwise for the assembly to attempt curing constitutional ills which it cannot say with certainty exist," is not
the answer, progressive action is the
answer.
A careful observation of the federal constitution's composition of tlie
United States Congress could be the
solution of our Student Congress
problem. The United States has 50
states, with 100 senators and 415
representatives in the House, who
represent approximately ISO million
people. The University of Kentucky
has eight colleges, with 99 assemblymen representing aloiit 7,000 students.
Although the Student Congress is
a unicameral legislature, there is no
reason why it can not incorporate
some of the advantages of a bicameral
legislature. It is generally accepted
that history has proved that the
strongest governments are run by
small coalitions or dictators. If 535
United States Congressmen can represent ISO million people, does it not
seem absurd to have 7,000 students
represented by 99 assemblymen whose
attendance record is an utter disgrace. The University of Kentucky
Student Congress should apportion

its seats according
population
of the colleges and reduce its membership to some number around 10,
to which the apportionment would
arrive. With this small size legisla

tive Ixxly, a real majority could be
reached and its members would be
properly informed.
This still leaves one possible problem; who should constitute this "elite
40"? The Kernel has the right and
could publish the names of the inem-lcr- s
regularly attending Student Congress meetings, and give these persons proper recognition. It would then
be up to the student Ixkly to elect
these conscientious persons and eliminate the "dead wood" members
whose sole contribution is to leave
the impression that student congress
is useless.

If campus political' apathy is to
be conquered, Student Congress is the
answer. Perhaps some solid legislation and assertion of prestige might
ignite a flame that will help this campus rise out of its present doldrums.
Instead of toying around with
such nonsense as grammar perfection
and the expulsion of members which
only hurts Student Congress, why
not follow an example which has
stood the test of time, the United
States system of representation? Let's
face it, no amateur constitutionalist
at the University of Kentucky can
ever top the masterpiece created by
our "founding fathers," who I do not
believe can be considered as conservatives.
Matthew M. Kkshinuian

Marry Now?
Is there anything wrong with students marrying while attending college? Should the nation be concerned?
Most observers are inclined not
to get involved in this question. Some
members of society show no concern,
yet others are indignant.
Prof. Margaret Mead, anthropologist at Columbia University, has expressed her views on the subject.
Intellectual life demands some
kind of postponement of domesticity,
she says. Early student marriage is
tying down men so early that they
don't have a chance for full intellectual growth, she continues.
Professor Mead believes young
people need to develop as indiv iduals,
to think, to change their minds and
to explore.
If there is a baby before graduation, "it means the father's term
paper gets mixed up with the baby's
bottles.

Babies are engrossing objects, and
men and women are going to devote all their time to infants, who
will be kit to write great works or
build airships?" she asks.
Married students on the whole are
good students, but only in the sense
that they get through their examinations.
They make the necessary marks
because they have to get the next degree, so they can get the nevt job or
fellowship grant so they can support
their children.
Along national lines, Professor
Mead issues a grave warning. Early
marriages will lead to a settled,
unadventurous people.
security-lovin"It is going to curtail seriously the
contribution that we can make as a
nation to the development of civilization on this planet," she concludes.
