Mississippi

Schools Givers
Mild Warning
Mississippi colleges received
only a mild warning and retained
their full accreditation last week
when their case came before the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools.
The action lifted a surveilance
slapped on the Mississippi institutions last year after Gov. Ross
Barnett and Lt. Gov. (and now
Paul Johnson Ingovernor-elec- t)

The commission report, approved by a full voice vote, reported a study revealed "no overt
violation of the principles under
scrutiny have occurred since the
last annual meeting. The commission, therefore, recommends
that the Institutions of higher
learning in Mississippi be removed from
extraordinary
status."

would continue to be concern
over
and professionalism in intercollegiate athletics. Much of the concern was
associated with the large state
universities where there is a great
public interest in only the athletic segment of the University,
he said.

Dr. Oswald thinks athletics and
education are compatible even in
the large state universities. He
warned, however, that there must
be constant vigilance particularly
where there is likely to be a tremendous outside public interest
in athletics.

The best course to follow, he
pointed out, is "to keep this public involvement as interest, and
if possible, transfer this interest
to the university's total program."
"If the involvement becomes
pressure, the best way to prevent this, of course, is to resist
pressure whenever and wherever
It develops."
Dr. Oswald Indicated he differed with those who say there is
less and less time within a college and university for an athletic
program.
"I for one, feel there has been
too much tendency recently to
specialize in the undergraduate
education, so much so that there
is a danger that undergraduates
may be overtrained and
I would always
hope that there would be room
for an athletics program that
would be truly in tune with the
educaitonal
objectives of the
University."
In a humorous aside, Dr. Oswald said the news media during
his appointment as president of
the University made much of his
football days at DePauw and a
recent award accorded him by
Sports Illustrated magazine when
he was named to the periodical's
Silver Anniversary
team for excellence in life's word
as well as for having been a
grid standout 25 years ago.
"They dropped all the preliminary explanations and called me

Social Sidelights
At this point it would be a
little trite to say the usual Christmas words of chper. In fact it
would be sadistical. But here is
one fact that I'm sure most cf
you have over looked, I did, until
I happened to look at my calendar yesterday.
Th6 University with its perfect timing and all knowing
vision ended classes today. For
the superstitious, run, don't walk,
to the nearest exit. This is Friday
the 13, the most dreaded date tn
the calendar aside from the Ides
of March.
Since finals start Monday, I
suppose that all the charms and
amulets available will be in use.
Lights will burn late into the
night, and sloppy appearance,
which we have been yelling about
all season, will be really sloppy.
But there are other things that
are going on.
The sororities gave Christmas
parties for the underpriviledged
children with the help of the
Delts. The Wildcat's are on a
real scoring tear which we hope
will last through this year and
into the new.
Uusually we have social events
but since there is a lack of those
for some reason, something to do
with study, I tbink, I'd like to
thare a few hints with the males
In the audience on what some cf
the females around would like
for Christmas. I guarantee these
don't cost much, will be appreciated, and will save you shopping
time.
If you have been going with a
girl the obvious thing she is anticipating is a lavalier, pin, engagement, or for a lucky few, a
wedding ring. These are usually
the most expensive gifts a man
will ever buy because the ccst
will continue even though the
material object has long since
been payed for.
There are many thinps to give
a girl. Sweaters are ever prpular,
especially this Christmas, with
the mohair pullover in vogue.
Yes, it usually makes your drfam
girl look like a Green Eay Pack-i- s
tackle but she likes 'em. Of
course, if you feel really well
heeled there is always a cashmere, nice, expensive, and sought

after.

is so unoriginal
Everything
these days, perfume, jewelry, records, books, gloves and charm.
What a girl wants is a present
that shows thought, and originality and most important ROMANCE. Nothing will melt a
girl's heart faster than some sentimental gesture.
Take her out to dinner, some

place nice with soft light and
muic, or give her flowers. Better
yet, go over and help her trim
the tree and Just share the holiday sitting around the fire.
Oo out and find her a bit of
mistletoe and if you can use a
gun, shoot it out of a tree, she'll
be flattered by your efTort. It's
little things that count with a
girl.
One might only ask for a date
with someone she is crazy to go
out with, another may want the
moon on a silver platter, you
have to know your girl before you
select the gift.
With the words of infinite wisdom I shall leave the male shopper to his usual quandry and reproduce the Kernel's letter to
Santa.
Dear Santa,
It has been a rough year. We
have survived the Student Congress elections, bomb scares, the
slings and arrows of our readers,

our first semester since we began
a daily, with a female editor at
the controls, a new press time,
and of course the usual series
of press breakdowns. Poor ole
press it's had a long hard life.
Each of us has had some problem in our Journalistic duties
but really Dear Santa we have
been extra good children this
year. Daddy has been firmer with
us than he usually is and we
have played the role of a good
child, for a change. Therefore,
we feel that in view of our superior behavior we are deserving
of your consideration.
The prime object of our desires
Is a new press which will complete a run without breaking
down, etc. Our old pi ess is really
ready for a change of work status.
It has served us long and well.
Each staffer has a wish but
the main ones are for another
NCAA championship for our dear
Wildcats, big headlines for our

daily editors, who are responsible for each day's news, and
the women's page editor, having
hung her stocking by the chimney Willi care, wishes only for
more social news and a real live

Of course, we want our typewriters to stay in good repair
but this is so minor we won't

don't forget us; we will be sorely

the reader, to know just what

The Kentucky Kernel

A Time To Share

The South's Outstanding College Daily

University of Kentucky

Today is the last day of classes for the semester ami finals start Monday,
but it is also something else. It's the Christmas season. A time of love and
peace, giving and receiving, warmth and charity.
In the rush of classes and term papers some of us may have forgotten
the joys of the most heralded and anticipated season of the year. Christmas
is for children and the young at heart. In the commerciality of the times we
sometimes forget the reason for our gaiety and celebration, but this year
academics have all but hidden the spirit and thought of the Vuletide.
But there are a few who remembered the time and the need of those less
fortunate and did something about it. With less than a week before finals
the members of Delta Tau Delta fraternity went ahead, as usual, with their
annual service of arranging for the needy children of Lincoln School to have
a brighter Christmas.
Each year the Delts drive groups of children to various sororities which
want to share Christmas with little ones who will not have, in some cases, any
Christmas at all.
We hear so much about the uninterested college student these clays that
vhen this type of sincere interest presents itself we feel it is worthy of comment.
basis by calling and
asking the fraternity to arrange for the children to be brought to the sorority
house. This year the members of Pi Beta Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Delta,
Alpha Xi Delta, and Alpha Delta Pi took time from their study schedules
to bring the spirit of Christmas to a group of six to

The sororities participate on

a strictly voluntary

The Delts joined the Pi Phi's in giving one party with such a large number of children that both the fraternity and the sorority house were used.
The ADPi's asked the members of Wildcat Manor to join them in their party.
Why is it that so few on a campus of this size see fit to give up two hours
of their time, which they will probably waste anyway on idle chatter, when
they could be doing so much to make a little child happy. All too often we
forget, in the hurry of our own lives, that it takes so little to make someone
else happy.

The reward of doing this type of thing

is not an A in a course, nor is it

a long letter of appreciation, nor a citation for service above and beyond the
face, stained
call of duty. It is a feeling that you get when you see a
with tears of joy, or the light that comes into a child's eyes when Santa suddenly appears. It's the tug at your heart when a little girl clutches a set of
dishes and you say, "I'll bet those aren't as pretty as your mommie's," and she

leplies, "They're the most beautiful dishes I've ever seen; we eat off paper
napkins."
The spirit of love can be seen in the glowing face of a child, as a six
football player gently places a little girl on his shoulders
foot,
for a quick trip around the room. Yes, a football player: those rough, tough,
men whom few ever think of as warm, interested, and tender persons.
Christmas for the little children of the community, who are less fortunate than we, is toys, games, and carols around a tree in a big house filled with
college women.
But Christmas this year, or any year for that matter, is more than grades,
dates, exams, staying up late studying; it's sharing our plenty. There is a
leal peace that comes with doing something for someone else. More than
the glow of church lights and carols sung by children, it's putting the real
meaning of the season back into its proper perspective.
Let us not lose sight of the fact that, even though we are tired and
hurried, without the interest of these groups many of Lexington's underprivileged children would not have Christmas.

Polilicial Ignorance
To The Editor:

It lias been suggested by news analyst Howard K. Smith that the American public, in spite of its high level
of education, is politically ignorant.
To fully appreciate such a statement,
one has only to compare the coverage
in local news media (how many special news programs have the local
television stations already rejected this
entertainyear in favor of
ment) with the potentialities for providing detailed voter information explored by only a few newspapers (the
and the
Louisville Courier-JournNew York Times) and perhaps fewer magazines.
The University as a center of
learning surely has a responsibility
as a disseminator of such needed information and as a forum for political analysis. Such a forum is integral
to the development of an educated

portunity.
Trial by newspaper, though a constant threat where commercial newspapers are concerned, should be an

We sincerely hope that never again
will an individual accused of a crime,
particularly of one so heinous as the
assassination of a President, be referred to, in the Kernel, as guilty before a proper trial has been conduc ted.

And surely such a forum offers
for the student newspaper a more significant role than the Kernel has yet
found. Since where there is opinion
there is controversy, and where there
is controversy there is learning, this
paper should be willing to print letters representing the entire spectrum
of American politics and student body
beliefs, and to debate openly divergent political attitudes and principals.
Healthy, open debate can offen avert
the hatred of those in minority positions who are often forced into fanaticism for the expression of their ideas.

It is the duty of this newspaper,
its obvious policy
then, to
of avoiding controversial issues; and
perhaps it is the duty of all American students to question why there
lias never been an assassination of a
British Prime Minister during the
period in which we have lost four
Presidents. Perhaps the absence cf
orations in the civic and colsoap-bolegiate parks (and papers) of this
country may be a clue.

* THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Tilcby, Dec.

The Hook Scetw

'Summer' Is Kentucky Collection
By JOHN PFEIFFER

Kernel Arts Editor
"Deep Summer" is a collection of short stories and
j

joems
by Kentutkians.
1 he paperback book has been
made available by the More-lieaState College Press and
olfers selections from established Jesse Stuart to newcomer David Folk, a former
University student.
Albert Stewart, who edited the
book, writes that his purpose "was

authored

d

to show the spread of contemporary writing in Kentucky and
to encourage writing and new
writers." This, certainly, Stewart
has done..
The selections, if not brilliant,
fshow an encouraging trend toward serious writing in this area;
end several of the selections are
worth examination.
Billy Clark's "Hallelujah Brother Brimstone" Is a successfully-humorostory about
a mountain preacher who literputs the fear of God in two
ally
dissenting members of his congregation.
Clark, currently studying at
t)K, is the author of six novels.
In this story, he uses the first
in mountain
person narrative
dialect to set the mood.
His interjected comments and

opinions on the situation he is
describing add a note of humor
and give variety to the style.
Josh and Todd are the
sinners whom Brother
Brimstone frightens back to
church, but Clark makes us forget the stereotyped characters by
his artistry in storytelling.
"Now the moan from Josh had
led in time to mean but one thing
to Todd; that Josh had hit the
jug again. It was the gapping for
breath that came after a long
fight getting the liquor down his
throat. Lord help me for knowing."
Robert Hazel's !outn," a poem
divided into Ave sections, is both
a protest and a plea. The protest
against decadence and death and
the plea for law and knowledge
are equally futile, and the poet
successfully captures the feeling
of the rapidly changing region
about wliivh he is vriting.
Hazel's use of internal rhyme,
of the repetition of words and
vowel sounds lend an intensifying effect to the poem:
"Shadows climb down
My
father dies alone
My mother
The fires die down
lies down
Their breath's bright crown
dies down like bloom. . . ."
