Fictitious Pig's
Queen Bid Fails
GREGORY
Kernel Swine Editor

A pig might have won the 1961 Homecoming Queen
contest.
But Gertrude Sow, a fictition;. beast sponsored as a write-icandidate by a small group of independent students, didn't
quite make it.
a
n

Tom Harrington, chairman of
the Homecoming Steering Com
mittee, refused to release the total
number of votes for Miss Sow.
Nevertheless, he cautiously remarked:
"We are releasing no figures,
and that includes Miss Sow's.
Miss Sow didn't come anywhere
near winning."
The sow was entered. Harring- ton believed, by some "independ- ents who felt they weren't being
represented by a candidate."
David C. Short, Arts and Sci- ences senior acting as spokesman
for a small group of independent
students who organized the cam- paign, offered this reason for pre- -

s.l-is-

senting Miss Sow as queen cand
idate:
"She is a personification of
the feelings that many independents and students feel concerning the many contests and
queens that frequent the campus."
Short said the Gertrude Sow
Idea "was conceived by a small
number of people meeting in the
engineering library a few nights
before the election."
Short continued:

"It was a
thing and caught on quickly. Many
students volunteered, made posters,
and campaigned for the candt
date."

Courage To Editorialize

Newspapers for hundred of years
have engaged in editorial writing as
well as coverage of news. But the
broadcasting industry has shied away
from editorializing. The reasons have
been many. Fressure from the Federal Communications Commission and
a station's fear of losing advertising
have been just two reasons.
The FCC now, however, is changing its stand on the matter and is
urging broadcasters to editorialize.
In the past few years, some daring
broadcasters have launched into editorial comment. Among the editorial
Miami, and
pioneers were WTVJ-TV- ,
YVDSU-TV- ,
New Orleans.
Recently, YVBKY, the
University FM station, began
editorializing on its weekly
depth show, "News Special."
They have commented on world,
national, state, and local problems.
More recently, they struck out on the
campus level, attacking a University
instructor.
The station's news director was refused an interview on a juvenile delinquency study the instructor had
made because, paraphrasing the instructor's words, the mass media fail
to present information on juvenile
student-operate-

d

delinquency well. They do it badly.
Yet this same instructor was interviewed on the same subject by a
Kernel daily editor and the story was
published in the Kernel, the downtown papers, and carried on Associated Press wires. Does not this instructor consider radio a medium of
mass communications?
As a sidelight, the instructor mentioned some bad luck with two "UK
Roundtable" programs on which he
was a guest. The director asked if
he was being held responsible for
something which was not his responsibility. The instructor replied: "No,
I just mention it." We prefer to agree
w ith the news director that this was
petty revenge. It is hard to believe
that a University instructor teaching
students to be better,
citizens would use such logic.
Such action merits the editorial
attack the station gave it. Naturally,
this takes courage which so many
radio and television stations lack. We
are proud our own WBKY is among
the stations with enough sinew and
backbone to editorialize. We are
especially glad WBKY is not afraid
to lash out at University issues and
individuals.

Power Of The Commoners
By WLS MORRIS
To The Editor:
A

I'Mil.Ei

'

Mr. Roberts,

Greetings
I deeply regret the lapse in our
correspondence, kind friend, but 'twas
an unavoidable delay brought on by
the tragedy nature wrought upon our
fair country. The Tost has been hand
tied by the astounding upheaval; 'tis
near impossibility to travel from one
township to another since the great
'quake struck the Kingdom of Campus
rending deep chasms in the cvershilt-inearth and throwing up huge
mountains of soil in the twinkling of
an eye.
But I cannot rail against nature
when man is so sorely troubled in our
land. The King, His Royal Highness
Apth Faculty, has become more despotic than we ever dreamed possible.
The peasantry scarcely dare to speak
His Reverence's name without bending iv knee. Tis also rumored that
King Apth's cavaliers, now unopposed
throughout the kingdom, have grown
indolent for lack of combat. Tis said
they have fallen to quarreling among
themselves!
The King has extended His sway
by threat of most horrible death to
any who boldly disobey His Royal
Decrees. He maintains this "mastery
by fear" with a herd of monsters that
roam the countryside demanding
tithes from each and every man.
Terrible dragons they are, with a
thousand eyes that flash multicolored
lightning; some belch forth steaming
coffee, while others spew icy coke.
Twas these horrible creatures that
overpowered the mighty Greek, Fred
g

Fratcrnapolis, and carried oil his fair
sister to be a slave. You may be sure
the Kim: derives His benefits in in
those tithes so brutally extracted, but
none find their way to further the
common weal.
All is not lost, however. Reports
have told of a valiant knight who
pledges to subdue the King's dragons,
and vin them to our cause. Those
who have seen him on his dappled
steed say 'tis a sight unlike any to
behold. Sir Stu Congress is his name,
and his trusted servant, Sancho
Daniel, rides always at his side. If

53 Coeds Object To Search, Interrogation
Object To Search

To The Editor:
Between the hours of 9:30 and
11 o'clock Friday morning, Nov. 17,
the freshmen women in Patterson Hall
were subjected to a surprising debasement by the executive housekeeper of the dormitories.
Under the auspices of the head
resident, Mrs. Edith Ports took free
rein, entered locked rooms with a
master key, and searched for electrical appliances without the knowledge of the occupants. Occupied
rooms were invaded without the courtesy of knocking or with a rude
banging.
The searches were conducted in
a most discourteous manner, and the
women were rudely awakened and
interrogated by Mrs. Potts as to the
whcreal)outs of their electrical appliances.
Was Mrs. Potts aware that the
girls of Patterson Hall, citizens of
the United States, are protected
against such practices by the Fourth
to the Constitution:
Amendment
"The right of the people to be secure
in their person, houses, papers, and
effects, against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be violated. . ."?
The women of Patterson Hall are
Students of the University of Kentucky, not inmates of a women's prison! We strenuously object to such
treatment. Is such treatment justified?

Explains Seating Plan
To The Editor:
I am shocked at the assumptions
that a certain Mr. A. Bruce Cherry

dares to print (Thursday, Nov. 16).
The idea for a "stag day" was not
SuKy's. It did originate at the Leadership Conference and it was suggested there that it be brought to
SuKy's attention by our representatives. We had not previously considered such a project.
Since (before any seating arrangement would be considered) approval
by Student Congress and Bernie
Shively, director of intercollegiate
athletics, is necessary, the plan was
brought up, discussed, and voted on
by Student Congress.
Both Student Congress and SuKy
agreed before confering that any plan
that was to be fair must take into
account those persons who would not
wish to sit in a group. This was the
first thing discussed when Miss Jo
Hern, SC representative, met with
SuKy. It was, therefore, decided that,
to be fair to everyone, seating should
be cm an informal basis.
Each group is invited to sit together, but each group will have to
"

come early. For, "this idea works on a
basis."
As a member of both SuKy and
Student Congress, I am willing to
discuss and have been willing to discuss "stag day." I have been assured
by the president of SuKy that the rest
of the circle feels the same. Apparently, Mr. Cherry, while capable of
slandering others, is too lazy to contact them. Indeed, who is A. Bruce
Cherry? I am shocked that any student on campus, after having admitted that he was "unable" to find any
information, should make unsubstantial and untrue charges.

P.S. We must apologize to Mr. Cherry
because our mental telepathy is not
in working order. We in SuKy did not
know he was trying to contact us.
We suggest he try the telephone the
next time.

Discusses Concert
To The Editor:
I think the Kernel is overstepping
its bounds to comment (Friday, Nov.
17) on the behavior of the students
at the Ray Charles concert.
The main reason for my belief is
that nearly half of the audience was
comprised of persons not connected
in any way w ith the University, and
they felt the Charles Myers produc

tion was not up to University standards. The
members of
the audience were the persons creating the disturbance.
The University students were
ashamed that they had paid the price
they did and were keeping quiet in
hopes that no one would notice they
were present.
If there were some present who
were enjoying the entertainer, I notice
he is going to have another public
appearance in the near future in an
Indianapolis court.

Salutes Debaters
To The Editor:
The UK Debate team has made
this University proud with their fine
record. They have one of the finest
coaches in Dr. Clifford Blyton, professor of spe ech, and one of the country's top eh hate rs in Deno
The squad is ahead of last year's
record and prospects for more tewr-ne- y
are excellent.

When you walk into Dr. Blytou's
the trophies are pile-e- l on file

of space to display them.
I only hepe the faculty and student beuly realize- what a tremendous job they are eloing in
prestige across the United States for
the University of Kentucky.

Vols Spoil UK Homecoming By 26-1- 6

Somebody said they should have
played five quarters. . . . Someone

These were some of the fan

comemnts following a
nessee win over Kentucky Saturday that spoiled Homecoming
hopes, of victory for a
McClean Stadium assemblage
of 37.000.
This 57th renewal of the great
rivalry between the two neighboring state institutions saw a

lead over the lackluster
Wildcats after three quarters.
Kentucky courageously came
bark to score two touchdowns
conand a pair of two-poiversions in the final period and
almost rang up a third score in
the frame.
But the big advantage stacked
