Kernel Daily Editor
A Student Congress meeting lias been railed for Tuesday
night in hopes of setting up the machinery to hold an election
According to Dr. L. L. Martin, dean of men and adviser
to Student Congress, the meeting has been called and a place

for the meeting will he announced later.
Ron Nickell, Student Congress
voting be done on IBM ballots
president, said he felt the
so that the votes could be countshould get reorganized and
ed in several hours. In the 1962
hold an election as soon as poselections, the outcome was not
sible.
Cou-gre- ss

Wednesday afternoon Nickell
said he had not yet been officially informed that he is now
President of Student Congress.
The presidency fell to Nickell
when Raleigh Lane, the elected
president, graduated in June.
Nlrkell explained that he U
student teaching and working 40
hours a week and does not have
much time to give to the Congress.
Nickell also said that they were
uncertain of the number of Congress members that had graduated.
"For these reasons, I feel we
should hold elections as soon as
possible." he said.
The Student Congress Constitution provides that elections be
held during the third or fourth
week after registration for the
fall semester. The fourth week
ends Sept. 28.
Dave Graham, chairman of the
Student Congress Judicary Board
Is arranging for Tuesday's meeting and preparing a list of members still in school.
The last Student Congress election was held in the spring of
19G2. The rules of procedure were
suspended by the Congress in
order to hold spring elections.
Congress tried to arrange for
spring elections last year but they
were unable to get a quorum at
four straight meetings called to
discuss elections.
The spring elections of 1962
saw the organization of the first
campus party in several years.
The progressive party was formed
and ran a slate of candidates both
for membership in Congress and
then for the four officer positions.
Only one of the Progressives
failed to be elected to Congress
membership. Lane, who was elected President of Student Congress, was the only officer elected
who was not a member of the
Progressive Party.
Nickell, who was elected vice
president on the Progressive ticket, pointed to the formation of
the party and the "increased interest in Student Congress during
that campaign."
Nickell said that he felt "cerwere made but Contain
gress must make some stipulation
in its rules to make members
attend meetings."
Nickell suggested that if a
member failed to attend two
meetings during a semester without a valid excuse that he be expelled from Congress membership.
One of the first jobs facing
Nickell is the naming of an election committee. Jackie Robinson,
Georgetown, was chairman of the
committee last year. He graduated in June.
Robinson had proposed that

known for a week.
Following the fourth meeting
in which a quorum was not
reached, Robinson and other
Congress members formed an
"Interested Citizens Committee"
to discuss the future of Student
Congress.
The committee met with then
acting Dean of Men Kenneth
Harper and asked for the reorganization of Congress.
Another group of students was.
formed to work through the summer with Dean of Men L. L. Martin and other faculty members
to come up with a reorganization
plan.
The committee submitted its
report Monday. The report called
for the retention of the present
Student Congress organization.
The committee statement said
that "changes in the form of student government would be both
unwise and impossible at present."
The committee suggested that
a new Congress be elected and
the matter of reorganization be
referred to a committee of the
new Congress.

COUP

Presents
Petition
A petition asking that the Student Congress "hold the regularly scheduled Student Congress
elections as set forth in the Constitution," will be presented to
the student body for signatures
today and Monday by the Steering Committee of the Campus
Organization for United Participation (COUP).
The petition, formulated by the
Steering Committee of COUP,
asks that the election be held
because a "proposal is under
consideration to abolish the regularly scheduled election by continuing the seemingly defunct
Congress of last year until an appointed committee can revise the
constitution and have it ratified
by both the faculty and the student body."
In a prepared statement explaining the petition Ben Williams, chairman of the Steering
Committee, said, "It is the feel-ni- g
of the originators of this
petition that abolishing the election would embellish a great risk
for the future of our student government."
The statement, endorsed by all
the members of the Steering
Committee asks that "any new
constitution be written free from
the pressures of time-savin- g
practicalities; that any students
who wish to safeguard their interest in a student government
to sign the petition either Friday
or Monday at the table set up
between Miller Hall and the Museum of Anthropology."

The publications board said
that departmental assistants, associates, and other student staff
members will be chosen from the
nomination list from last spring,
based upon experience and writing ability. All Kernel staffers
are to be retained, and all departments of the University will
be asked to provide reporters "in
the production of a better
Kernel," Miss Endicott said.
A sports-writin- g
staff, not appointed last spring, will be organized within a few days.
Tom Finnie, A&S senior, was
named circulation manager, succeeding Robin Adair, who did
not return to UK this semester.
Nancy Loughridge continues as
women's page editor. John Burk-har- d
heads the advertising staff.
On July 1 this year the Kernel
was separated entirely from the
printing operations, originally es

tablished on the campus by the
newspaper, but now operated as
the University Division of Printing. The paper will continue to
be printed in the plant, located
in the basement of the Journalism Building, but all phases of
the operation, including budget
and finances, will be under direct
supervision of the Kernel management.
Direct supervision over the
Kernel will be exercised by William C. Caywood Jr., instructor
in journalism, who joined the
staff of the School of Journalism
on July 1.
"We feel that we are fortunate
in convincing Mr. Caywood that
he should join our staff," Dr.
Niel Plummer, director of the
School of Journalism, declared.
"With more than 30 years active
newspaper work behind him, he
will be a valuable adviser for our
young Journalism students.
"A strong advocate of newspaper freedom, Mr. Caywood, a
former president of the Kentucky
Press Association, is highly respected by newspaper people,"
Dr. Plummer added.
"As president of the KPA Mr.
Caywood authorized the publication and distribution of a compilation of Kentucky Statutes
concerning required publication
of public financial statements;
supported litigation to force publication
of such statements;
backed legislation giving reporters the legal right to withhold
sources of news stories. He was
chairman of the committee which
established the state's first newspaper microfilm center here at
UK. He has served on many news
and legal seminars at UK; for
25 years has been editor of a
daily newspaper; and for the past .
seven years a member of the
AP executive committee in Kentucky. During the past two
months, he edited a 30,000-wor- d

men and women, many of whom
received summer experience in

splendid job as his successor.
"We believe the Kernel, which

Daily, is headed for another successful year, despite the fact that
It began the year without capital."
Dr. Plummer added that Kernel
editorial policies will continue
without change, with full student
freedom of opinion within the
bounds of judgment, decency, responsibility, and out of the area
of libel. He said the faculty supervisor's duties this semester will

Hear the shouts!

pretty dateless existence the patt

While I'm on the topic of men
and lighter recreation, I've been
asked by umpteen people to menbeer
tion the dangers of pop-to- p

could easily double for a scalpel
anyday. Someone even suggested
that they were invented by a
sadist. So, pull easy on those little

ell you it's pretty difficult to

much for the dangers of the suds

Before mentioning the weekend gaieties there Is one newsworthy event that has taken
place on campus this week that
deserves space. It has taken place
at the Chemistry Annex, next to
Pence Hall.
The administration has finally,
after 12 years, found a few dimes
to have the eld place painted.
Rumor has it that no one knows

Back to the socializing side.
There seems to be a lack of queen

of parties. Only a week of classes

* Bradley Hall Situation
Being Alleviated
The Kernel ha? in the past voiced
alarm over the conditions many
women students have been forced to
live under in the former men's quadrangle.
Last March a front-pagreport
appeared in this newspaper concerning the deplorable conditions in the
Breckinridge Hall. .Apparently, the story helped alleviate
some of the bad conditions in the

Many parents objected strongly to
the inadequate facilities existing in
Bradley Hall when they enrolled their
daughters last week. They complained
to the UK administrators. It is noteworthy that the Louisville Courier- e

Journal ran

a story on the conditions
in Bradley, thus giving the matter
wide attention. The Kernel hopes
work will be speeded up so that the
women residents will be able to enjoy adequate lighting, bathroom facilities, and storage areas.
The charges were not the usual
complaints of distraught parents.
Mrs. Dixie Evans Smith, director
of women's residence halls, said, "Conditions in Bradley Hall were not what
we would have desired for opening
day."
There are some extenuating circumstances connected with the situation. Mrs. Smith explained that the
women's administration did not take
over control of Bradley Hall until
two weeks before the opening of
school. Regarding charges of dirt in
the dormitory, as reported by the
press, Mrs. Smith explained that the
stains in the hall and bathroom floors
have been scrubbed and disinfected,
but they will not come off. She said
that the University is "working as
hard and as fast as possible to correct the situation."
These explanations should dispel
any feeling that the University docs
not care about conditions under which
the women in Bradley and other
quadrangle dormitoiies are forced to
live. However, the fact remains that
new students and their parents possibly did not expect accommodations
such as Bradley when they arrived
at the University.
The University catalogue shows
two pic tures of women's housing. One
pic ture shows two coeds being escorted
into Keeneland Hall and the other
shows a pair of girls looking at a dress
in their clean,
tastefully
appointed dormitory room.
The University is trying to correct
the situation and the Kernel hopes
prompt action can be taken.

Student Parking
We lip our hat to the administration for its progress and handling of
the parking situation on campus. The
parking problems of students are far
from being solved, but progress is
being made.
No longer do students who bought
parking permits for a certain restricted area, come to classes to find their
parking places taken and the parking lot filled.
Now the administration has finally
limited the number of parking per-- .

mils to match the number of parking

places in a specific restricted parking area. Campus police and lot
also work to keep the lots
free of
parkers.

For example, a man is josted in
a check station at the campus entrance on Rose Street. He checks parking stickers on the cars and admits
the ones designated by their seal to
be allowed in the area and rejects
the others.

This is a good policy and of benefit to the students.
But the administration and the
parking officials are overlooking the
back door or rear entrance to area
three the paiking areas around Funkhouser Building, McYey Hall and the
new Chcmislry-PsysicBuilding.

One, if he wished could elude the
checker at the Rose Street entrance
of the campus by coming clown the
street by the Pharmacy Building, behind Funkhouser Building, and finally .between the Home Economics
Building and Funkhouser. This would
take him to the area at the end of
McVey Hall.
We believe the administration is
making strides toward satisfactory
paiking. But in one situation,
they are keeping the back door open

A Special Report

East Germans Dissatisfied With Communism
(Editor's

Note:

Associated Press

Correspondent John O. Kochler has
just returned from a week's tour in
communist East Germany. He investigated reports that another people's
revolt was brewing.)

By JOHN O. KOEIILER

BERLIN
Dissatisfaction of the
East German people with the communist regime continues to be widespread, but after a week behind the
Iron Curtain this reporter "found no
evidence that a new revolt is brewing.
The morate of the people, despite
tough political pressures and scarcity
of certain essential food items, seemed
higher than it was seven mouths ago
when I last visited East Germany.
Because of the unusually severe
winter and its resulting serious fuel
and iood shortages, the people's mood
then was explosive.
But East Germany since has had a
good harvest anil there certainly are
no shortages of such staples as bread
'and potatoes.
On the other hand, butter continues to be short in supply one half
pound being allotted per person every
10 days. This butter is of poor quality
and expensive at
marks (GO

cents) a half pound.
Fresh meat also is scarce but all
kinds of sausage were abundantly
available.
"No, we are not starving," said a
housewife in Dresden. "But it irks you
that you can't buy onions whenever
you want them or that not a single
store has any vinegar when I want to
pickle cucumbers."
During a recent heat wave, housewives at Leipzig and Dresden began
to queue up at 3 a.m. To get ice for
their ice boxes.
"And when the ice man arrived he
never had enough to satisfy everyone,"
one housewife said. ' It's little things
like that makes us so angry."
While East German industry exhibited electric appliances such as
at the fall consumer
leirigerators
goods fair in I.eipig, the ordinary
East German must register and wait
at least two years before he can purchase one.
I lowever,
Communist
Party members and members of the
"intelligentsia," such as sci
entists and engineers, can purchase
any appliance without delay.
While complaints about food and
other consumer goods have decreased

certain

since last winter, there is increased
bitterness over political pressures.
Factory workers, probably because
of the forthcoming general election,
are subjected to at least two political
meetings a week.
Workers at one steel plant related
how agitators come to the factory and
make long speeches to which the workers must listen.
"It's eerie when 1,000 workers
listen cjuietly and then when the
speakers have finished, walk away
from the meeting in complete silence,"
one worker said. "There is no debate
they don't even talk to each other."
In a conversation with two ranking government officials, this correspondent invited them
to a dinner in West Berlin.
Both avoided sa)ing that the Red
Wall dividing the city would pievent
them. Instead, one answered this way:
"I really have no desire to come
to West Berlin. I get enough money
and my wife gets enough money. We
have a nice house near a lake and we
have a sailboat."
The second official said something
similar. Neither one said anything
about being convinced Communists.
Also frequently heard was: "We
tongue-in-chee-

should have taken off before the wall
was built. Now it is too late and we
have to make the best of it."
This about sums up feelings in
the villages and cities.
I saw and heard nothing to indicate another East' German revolt.
The East Germans revolted in
1953. The climate at that time! was
entirely different. Food shortages were
severe. Pressure to increase work
norms were unbearable. Religious activity was being ruthlessly suppressed
and many protestant and Roman
Catholic clergymen were jailed.
That revolt was doomed from the
beginning. The Soviet Army crushed
it unmercifully.
Even if the climate at this time
was such that the people wanted to
revolt, the piesence of 20 Soviet divisions and thousands of East German
