(EDITOR'S NOTE: The recent announcement of
a rent raise for Cooperstown apartments has met with
resident comment and criticism during the last week.
Eight families, one each from the building of the project, were aked to express their opinions on the rent
raise and living conditions of the apartments.)
"I felt that the present rent of $75 was as high as I
could pay, but the raise proposed for July, 1959, Is too

The Muffed wildcat had been in
captivity almost four months. It
was described in "good shape" by
Sports

Kuhn said the mascot had been
shipped to Lexington by bus. No

Tucky was to have been returned
at halftime of the nationally telegame at Memorial

Coliseum Jan. 17, but was not returned.
SuKy, Wildcat student pep organization and owner of the mascot,
said later "Tucky's captors promised its return when the Wildcats
met the Vols in Knoxville. Again
the mascot was not returned.
SuKy President Sue Davenport
said UK had received a letter from

the Tennessee dean of students
this week. It said the mascot would
be returned by this weekend.
The letter was sent to Bernie

An editorial in Friday's UT student newspaper urged the return

The military departments yesterday denied responsibility for the
$1,500 Military Ball loan, which the
Student Congress president said
was made under the assumption
that it was for the two departments' benefit.
Col. R. W. Boughton, Air Science
Department head, said neither his
department nor the Army ROTC
Department had authorized anyone to apply to SC for the loan,
due to be repaid by Saturday. The
dance lost an estimated $940.
Col. Bouehton issued this statement after a Kernel reporter
brought up the fact that Student
Congress' minutes showed the loan
was made to the military departments:
"Neither department authorized
or made representation to Student
Congress for a loan . . .; we authorized no student to make application for such a loan; and we were
never apprised by Student Congress that we were the recipients
of such a loan."
The situation is basically this:
1. The military departments say
they are not responsible for the
load's repayment.
2. k1erlman stated that the loan
was made, on motion of Rep.
Blankenship, on the assumption
that it was for the military

Hollywood's theory about the
filming of Ernest Hemingway's
novels seems to be, "If at first you
don't succeed, try, try again."
And with "The Old Man and The
Sea" (Warner Bros.) they have at
last succeeded.
The past difficulty in filming; a
Hemingway novel was that much
of the narrative was left out, since
it did not adapt to dialogue.
The solution in "The Old Man
and The Sea" was to let the star
read the narrative and to act the
character, too.

* A Note To Student Congress
Some 10 days ago Student Congress devoted what one of its members
termed "two or three minutes" to a
discussion of the financial status of
the Kentuckian and the editorial responsibility of the Kernel Student
Congress then moved that its Executive Committee meet with the persons who administer the policies of
the two publications, ostensibly to
discuss such matters as who determines policy, who controls the Kernel
in its editorial comments, and so

forth.
We have hestitatcd to comment on
this meeting for two reasons: deep
disappointment that Student Congress
should have to ask for clarification of
something that we have reiterated
several times this year, and unwillingness to say anything before the meeting took place. However, since 10
days have passed and nothing further
has been said about the matter, per-

haps we should provide
Congress with a few

pre-meeti-

Student
ng

facts.

First, the Kernel editor is responsible to the director of the School of
Journalism, who in turn is responsible to the Board of Trustees. We
have few set "policies," aside from
in state politics.
Such matters as arise from day to day
are ordinarily decided by the editor,
non-participati- on

who consults the School of Journalism

director in matters where the paper's
stand might involve the University in
controversy.

One Student Congress member
hinted to us. that the Kernel should
be directly responsibile to the studentsin other words, set up a Student Congress board to act as a control over the Kernel.
We have commented numerous
times about the Kernels unique freedom from censorship, and, because
we can have no knowledge of the
committee's intent along this line until we meet with it, we shall reserve
our defense of the status quo until
someone officially suggests that Student Congress monitor the Kernel's
Krrnrl Cartoon Br Hap Cawood

policies.

Another Student Congress spokesman rose to an Everest of absurdity
by suggesting that the Kernel "does
not give enough publicity to campus
organizations." No organization has
ever been denied publication of news
items, nor do we ever purposely discriminate against any organization.
We are not here to give "publicity"
to groups unless ' such "publicity" is
newsworthy. If our critic wants publicity, perhaps a call to our advertising department might help.
Rates are 90 cents per column inch

To Each His Bone '
To The Editor:
In reference to the letter in Tuesday's Kernel by Mrs. Ernest Pell Han-ni- n
Jr. concerning the great achievements dogs have contributed to the
scientific world, I will be more than
happy to meet with her at any time
to see what would be the best way
to gather up the dogs roaming in
Shawneetown and donate them to
some worthwhile scientific project.
It would be a shame to deprive
these dogs of their claim to fame in
science.

Partings, Probes And Protectors
By GURNEY NORMAN

'

With moist eye and bowed head, the
two young editors stood silently and
waited for the train to pull away, bearing their erstwhile mistresses. "Goodbye," Myrna said itom the train. "Goodbye," Gloria said from the train, and
they left their former keepers behind.
What had wrought this lovers' parting? What terrible fate had torn these
young couples asunder? A congressional
investigation, that's what, a powerful
prying into the hidden subterfuge of
the campus publications these two moist-eyebowed-hea- d
editors edited.
But beware, reader, lest you allow
d,

silly emotion to cause you to sympathize with these " two young men. Do
not be fooled by their hurt look, their
puzzled expression, the helpless slump
of their shoulders. For these two are
guilty of the most heinous crimes against
the students imaginable: crimes of embezzlement, of extortion, of cheating,
lying, of saying bad words.
These are the Satanic editors of the
campus publications who were brought
to justice only through the valiant-na- y,
courageous efforts of congressmen tall,
blonde youths, quick of motion, lithe,
chaps who hold office.
It was a battle. When word got out
that there was to be an investigation,
the publications building almost panicked. Personnel hurriedly set about
burning records, balancing budgets, lowering salaries, leaving Cadillacs at home
and coming to school in Studebakers.
For a while it looked as if the investigators might not make it in time, for
they (no doubt merely a feint, a part
of a well-lai- d
plan), delayed their mission several days.
But even as one advisor to the publications was about to swallow some
incriminating microfilm, the bold, brave,
staunch defenders of the public burst
into the room and said, "Gimme' that
well-muscl-

ed

microfilm."
The congressmen were surprised, and
a trifle hurt, when they discovered the
whole department was all involved in the
'Machine." The advisors, people they
had trusted, had looked up to, even

But the investigators were firm, and
the guilty parties, scores of them, now
objects of public scorn, humiliated,
beaten, hurt, had to make recompense
for their deeds. The secretary had to
return her diamond necklace. One editor,
in addition to giving up his hired lover,
had to relinquish his hi-- fi set, his MG,
his Norelco shaver, all purchased by the
blood-moneAnother had to give up
his Campbell House suite. And they are
now existing meekly on professors' salaries, GI checks and money from part-tim- e
jobs with M&O.
After the arrest, the investigators
searched the building. High and low,
near and far, for hours they searched,
until, Lo! They found the cache, the
hoarded money, the jewels, the stocks,
ill-gott-

the government bonds, the documents,
the playing cards and rubber bands.
So what of the public defenders?
Where have they gone on, to shed their
light of knowledge and experience? Why,
to the editorial positions of the publications, of course. And it's a fine job
they are doing, too. A bit slow at meeting deadlines, for all stories and editorials must be approved by congress
by a
majority, and this slows
things up a bit. But they are carrying
on, as they always have, as they always
will, having proved to be true the immortal words of the great investigator
of our time, Joe McCarthy, who said:
"If something is operating smoothly,
it's wrong."

To The Editor:
I am writing this letter as a future
warning to students who plan to obtain their Ph.D. degrees from the
University. Anyone planning to take
this step, I feel, should be forewarned
about some of the problems involved.
The University offers some rather
large scholarships to Ph.D. students
who are in the top brackets,
(which I am not, so I have
no personal ax to grind). However,
it is no longer possible for students
now working toward Ph.D. degrees
here to obtain one of these large
$2,400 scholarships. These are being
reserved only for outside students, as
a sort of bribe to get them to come
here for their degrees. The most any
Ph.D. student already here can hope
to obtain in the way of assistance
through scholarships is $750, which
simply is not enough money to get
through one year of doctoral work.
This means, of .course, that unless
one is financially able to bear the
brunt of his expense on his own, he
must teach or obtain some other job
in order to stay in school. But at the
same time he that he must do extracurricular work, which means that
it will take twice as, long as could
ordinarily be expected for him to earn
his degree, the Graduate School is
putting on the thumbscrews to try
to make him finish his work in two
scho-lastical- ly

years.

I am proud of this University and
of my association with it, and I am

appalled at the idea of our University
having to offer a bribe to students
from other schools as an inducement
to do their work here. And just for
the record, despite the fact that there
are many excellent scholars instructing on the graduate level here, I
would like to suggest that raising the
over-al- l
quality of the work offered
to graduate students would be much
more effective in drawing in new
students than it would be to establish
a policy of paying them to come here.
I would also suggest that any
undergraduates who plati to work toward Ph.D. degrees here go to some
other school for their MA's. Then
they might possibly have a chance to
obtain one of the really, substantial
grants.

Positive Beatniks
To The Editor:
attended the lecture given on
the Beat Generation by Mr. Waldell.
The lecture itself was piesentcd satisfactorily, but it seemed to me oneI

sided. The only reason seems to be
that Mr. Waldell, perhaps unknowingly, allowed his personal views to
lead him to stress the negative side
in his presentation of the Beat Gen-

eration.
There, is a positive

side to the

BeatGcneration! The important

as-

pects are the renaissance of American
poetry which the Beats have caused,
directly or indirectly, along with the
Beat Generation's stopping and taking a look at our society's norms
and the boredom of mass culture.
The Beats have observed the worthless ends to which our society leads
its
people. Naturally
the Beats shy away from our world.
gray-lkmnele- d

It

personal contention that
if' more people would only examine
themselves and their society, as the
Beats have, there would be a sharp
rise in the population of the Beat
Generation.

These fraternities lose all social
privileges for the present semester
and will not be allowed to schedule
any activities on the University
social calendar.
Dean Martin said two more
fraternities would have been
added to the list if the
average had been used as the
standard. The University Faculty
voted in December to put fraternities and sororities falling below
figure on probation,
the
but the policy was later changed.
Three fraternities had no social
privileges last semester, the dean
said, while five were on probation
during the spring semester of last
year.
