One f the most talked about problems confronting the
people of Kentucky Is whether the state should have another medical school.
Many people throughout the state have expressed a
need for another medical school. Others have bitterly
opposed the idea as the state of Kentucky already has a
d
school as the University of Louisville.
Since the University of Kentucky is the logical choice
for the second medical school, we asked several students
how they felt about UK getting a new medical school.
Here are their opinions:

editor cf the Kernel

should have a medical school or not, but if establishing

of windand limb..

"

The very first thing to do upon meeting a man is to make sure
that he is sound of wind and limb. Before he has a chance to
beguile you with his wit and charm, slap a thermometer in his
mouth, roll back his eyelids, yank out his tongue, palpate his
thorax, rap his patella, ask him to straighten out a horseshoe
with his teeth. If he fails to pass these few basic tests, phone
for an ambulance and go on to the next prospect.
If, however, he turns out to be physically fit, proceed to the
second most important requirement in a husband. I refer to a
sense of humor.
A man who can't take a joke is a man to be shunned. There are
several simple tests to find out whether your prospect can take
a joke or not. You can, for example, slash his tires. Or burn his
"Mad" comics. Or steal his switchblade. Or turn loose his pet
raccoon. Or shave his head.
After each of these merry pranks, laugh gaily and shout
"April Fool!" If he replies, "But this is November 28." or some-thin- g
equally churlish, cross him off your list and thank your
lucky stars you found out in time.
But if he laughs silverly and calls you "Little minx!" then
put him to the next test: Find out whether he is gentle.

--

The easiest, quickest way to ascertain his gentleness

is, of
course, to look at the cigarette he smokes. Is it mild? Is it
clement? Is it humane? Is it balm to the palate? Does it minister
Does it coddle the nerve-ends- ?

Is it

the perfect accompaniment to today's easier, breezier living?
Is it genial? Is it bright and friendly and full of dulcet pleasure

Last week an organized crime ring was
uncovered at the University of Kentucky.
Five freshman were arrested and charged
with the sale of narcotics, grand larceny,
arid wilfull destruction of property.
The coordinated action of the University
and city and federal authorities apparently
squelched the immediate problem, but the
situation has deeper implications.
Occasionally a student will get into serious
trouble while at the University, but never
before has a group entered UK with the
deliberate intention of planning and committing major crimes.
Dean of Men Leslie L. Martin said the
five youths considered the University a sanctuary. They logically believed that no one
would expect to find criminals and serious
crime among college students. -- They boasted
to a federal narcotics undercover agent that
they came to college to become "bigtime
gangsters". The boys reasoned that the best
police officers were college trained, so to
compete with them they also had attend

college.
Now that the original shock has ebbed

away, the Administration must decide if the
incident was isolated or whether it will be a
recurring problem.
Dean .Martin fears the outbreak forecasts
future trouble. The Dean said the economic
level of the country has risen so much that

is a good trend, but it also means more
trouble for colleges.

he believes that juveniles are committing
more serious crimes today. Sociologists

people complain about the situation, but nobody does anything about it.
Suky's president this week said that the
organization is open to and hoping for suggestions. The present method is not so
stringent that it could not be changed. But
though the complaints some yearly, no one
seems to offer a "better way."
Actually, the method of picking cheerleaders has been different, in one form or another, year after year. Last year, the cheerleaders were all assigned practice for a week.

The practice was to give all concerned
an equal chance.
Following the practice sessions, a group
of judges picked finalists, who were then
selested by applause from the student body.
Two years ago the UK cheerleaders were
selected by the National Intercollegiate Pep
Conference. This drew much criticism from
the student body because many rebelled at
"outsiders" being invited to pick the pep
team.
In previous years, the method of selection

One new innovation Suky used this year
was doing away with the "regular" and "alternate" cheerleaders. In the past UK had
alternates who filled in for or replaced the
regularly elected cheerleaders.

years ago.
It was mentioned earlier in this article that the new formal
rule instigated by IFC last semester was ideal, and that every
fraternity could very well benefit by it if it only worked hard.
That can easily be proved by looking at the rule as it now
stands.
Each fraternity can pledge up to 30 men durfng the first
week of rush, which is strictly formal. After that is over, each
fraternity failing to get its quota can pledge for an additional
week informally those who signed up for formal and did not
pledge. Then, almost immediately after that, each fraternity
with less than 25 members can rush informally for CO days,
exclusive of the other frats, and sign up anyone it wants, provided he has a standing. If a fraternity cannot better itself
under such a rule as this, then they don't deserve to be on cam-pu- s
for they won't work hard enough to earn that privilege.
