The new constitution has no

Although expressing disappoint- ment in the vote turnout and cam- paignlng, Norman Harned, elec- tions chairman, said, "Congress

He added that there "are .a lot

stigma to live down one very similar
to that of the abortive and fraudulant
elections of 1959, but far more current. This week's election, had it been
held under the regulations of past
election would be conducted fairly
as one of the dirtiest in the history of
UK student government.
We personally observed far more
questionable election proceedings
than we would have believed possible. After being told that this year's
election would be fairly administered
because campus honoraries were administering the polls in all but one
college, we were completely unprepared for the sight of election workers
telling voters that they must vote for
certain candidates as a condition for
obtaining a ballot. It was equally distressing to see both election officials
and candidates standing over voters
telling them for whom to vote.
If this was an example of "honoraries'' administering the polls, we
shudder to think of the consequences
of allowing ordinary
campus politicians run the polls.
It is true that there were no elec

s

tion rules in effect for this week's
election, but it would seem that students desiring to represent their colleges in student government would
possess at least a few of the characteristics necessary for such offices
notably some ethics and a sense of
fair play.
Since the election is over and even
a student government elected in such
a manner as this is somewhat better
than no student government at all,
we feel that the results of the election
should be allowed to. stand. As its'
first order of business, however, we
urge the congress to draft a set of
election rules including one prohibiting candidates for office from working the polls.
After such a dismal start, the new
congress must do everything within
its power to prevent any such future
occurences.

Not to belabor the subject but
more in the nature of a small footnote to Premier Khrushchev's recent
visit to these shores, it might be worth
noting that his trip was not in vain
on all fronts.
As the Khrushchev party left . . .
they took with them to Russia the
following mementos of their sojourn
in Manhattan:
Cadillac.

One black Oldsmobile.
One blue Comet station wagon.
Portable television sets.
Room air conditioners.
Sets of automotive tires.

Several auto batteries.
A large supply of antifreeze.
And enough assorted personal items
in the clothing, appliance, and luxury
goods fields to fill a station wagon, a

truck, a limousine, and a
bus.
In short, the Soviets made good
use of their shopping time, if nothing
else. The big question is, if and when
communism ever gets around to burying capitalism, as Mr. K. occasionally
suggests may happen, where will the
comrades then buy all of these products needed to make life in Moscow
more bearable?

Fraternity Drinking Report Draws Readers' Fire
Charges Libel
To The Editor:
issue of DownIn a
beat, magazine, Eugene Lees, who
recently was a movie and jazz critic
for the Louisville Times and is now
managing editor of Doivnbcat, in a
penetrating article posed a very
question. In light
of the newspaper articles written
about the fiots at Newport (R. I.), he
questioned whether or not the Amer
ican journalist (I use the term loosely
in the present situation) was actually in contact with the American
public. But rather in the movement
toward sensationalism in reporting
of the facts hadn't they really isolated
themselves from society.
The recent, spurious article pub- lished in the Kentucky Kernel is to
me, one of the most vivid examples
of journalists completely and piti- fully out of touch with any portion of
that I have ever seen. Firs- tthe names of the fratemities were in'
no way involved in the reporting of
these incidents in the actual pro- ceedings of the IFC Judicial Board
meeting with fraternity presidents,

is based on the rumor that a person
close to the Board who refused to
be identified told the author. Either
a person is a member of the board
or is not. This statement indicates
that the article is based on nothing

more than heresay and entirely incapable of being substantiated.
Liquor was not even mentioned in
connection with any proceedings
against the mentioned fraternities.
Thus, it comes out as just what it is,
a slanderous statement that is nothing more than mere conjecture on
the part of the author. Thirdly the
falsehood that Dean Kenneth Harper
knew anything pertaining to this matter of rushing. In a meeting with
Dean Harper this afternoon he told
me that this was also a falsehood,
and that he had reported this fact
to the editor.
Also involved with this is the distasteful manner in which the Kernel
handled this matter. The fact that
such an article was to be published
was not even reported to me; if the
Kernel had done this I could have
immediately aborted this whole,
wonderful article at that time.
ever, for the benefit of the rushees
who were in the house at that time,
and also for the campus, I will tell
you that there was no liquor served
to rushees, and that the author, in a
concerted effort to achieve another
of these wretched
ports, has tried to grasp at straws to
sen- achieve the aforementioned
sationalism.
Congratulations, Kernel, however,
are in order to you in the recent
glory that you have solocited from
your award in your string of many
awards. But tell me isn't it a bitter

irony and twist of fate that this article was published in the aftermath
of this brilliant achievement?
On the fact that this statement
about our using liquor in rushing is
entirely libelous and places you in a
position to be sued, I challenge you
to publish a factual article about the
proceedings that actually went on,
who the author was, and what basis
he had for publishing it, clearing tlie
KA's of the charge of using liquor
in rush.
Larry M. Sams, President

(
Mr. Sams would check the
front page of yesterday's Kernel, lie
would find an explanation of the
meeting in question made by Dr. Kenneth Harper, assistant dean of men.

The Editor.)

Story In Error
To The Editor:
The story about the two fraternities who were penalized for rush
violations which appeared in the
Kernel on Dec. 14 was partly in error.
No reference was made to a connection between the KA's rush violation and the serving of liquor at
the party. In the IFC Judicial Board's
meetings no mention was made of
liquor being served. The Kernel
writer was acting on rumor when he
wrote that liquor was served at this
rush party.
Also Dr. Kenneth Harper, assist

ant dean of men, was not aware of
any liquor violation as the story said
because there was no liquor violation.
