BUTLER

A charge of discrimination against foreign students living at
tlio men's donnitorics was made by Mike Ganji, Iran, at a meeting
of the Student Government Association Monday night.
Ganji stated that the discrimination came in the form of a
bulletin posted in the men's dormitories. Further investigation
Reporters examining the rooms

eithcr here or at the University . . .
Feelings Hurt
Ganji. who does not live in the
dormitories, remarked that the feel- ings of many of the foreign students
attending the University have been
hurt by the bulletin.
"It is like singling us out as nasty,
savage beasts living among the other
students," he said. "If there was any
criticism, it should have been made
about all of the students, not di- rected in such a way as to single
us out."
When the director of the men's
dormitories. Dr. Bennett H. Wall,
was asked why the bulletins had
been put up, he answered that he
had completely forgotten their ex- lstence. that he had not been di- rectly responsible for having them
put up, and that they had been
posted for at least two years, with
no criticism ever having been made
of them.
Ganji denied that the bulletins
had been up for two years, and
stated they have been up no longer
than four months. He added that
was made clear by
the fact that Dr. Wall did not call
each of the foreign students into
his office if there were criticism of
them, instead of posting a bulletin,
There are only six foreign students
living in the dormitories now, Ganji
Etated. and it would have required
only 15 or 20 minutes to talk tt
them.
Reporters Inspect Rooms
Reporters covering the story were
offered a chance to inspect the
rooms of foreign students to verify
the fact they were not clean. Pic- turcs of various rooms were taken
earlier, immediately after the
charges of discrimination
were
made, without warning.

said:
"Three rooms occupied by foreign
students were examined. Without
at
exception, they were clean and
derly, and one of the students was
drying sheets he had laundered on
a homemade clothesline,
"Four rooms of other students, all
Americans, were examined, includ-cessar- y,
ing that of a monitor. Two of them
were messy, with bedclothing hang-pilloing sloppily from the beds, books
strewn about the rooms, and paper
and other odds and ends strewn
about. One room was filthy, and the
monitor's room was in no better
condition than that of any of the
foreign students."
Dr. Wall expressed the opinion
that if there is any discrimination
In the dorms, it's against the Ameri- can students. He said foreign stu- dents were given privileges that
none of the other students receive,
such as the choice of a single room,
Foreign Students Pay More
Ganji later stated that foreign
students pay $70 for a single room,
while the price for other students

Showing favoritism. Dr. Wall said,
is not the way to sell democracy to
these students. He emphasized the
fact that, if they are to learn what
real democracy is, they must be
treated the same way that other stu- dents are. They should be dumped in
with the rest of them, unless they
have a language difficulty, Dr. Wall
stated.
Commenting on favoritism, Ganji
said, "If you were to come to Iran,
we would do everything possible to
make you comfortable, not because
we must sell ourselves to you, but
because it is the mark of civilization
and decency shown to a stranger,
Kentucky Praised
One student, Luis Pacheco,
6ta. South America, said, "I share
the feeling of disappointment of the
foreign students about this matter,
but this business won't change my
impression that Kentucky people
are the most wonderful I have met
in the states."
None of the foreign students who
were questioned gave any examples
of discrimination at UK outside of
the men's dormitories.
"Everyone has been good to us."

notices in the dormitories made me

the book should be completed by
the end of April.
"We want to emphasize to all the
new students that the most value
can be obtained from a college education by wholeheartedly supporting
any activity, scholastic or social,
that they enter. We hope that they
will realize that a student can gain
only when he contributes," Miss
Henry said.
A staff, chosen by Miss Henry, includes an assistant editor, Carol
Dorton; a business manager, Jim
Perry; and four reporters, Kay
Blinco, Larry Meyer, Rosalie Redding, and Claire Wood.
"We chose our present theme to
try to encourage student enthusj

pictures as possible, as well as information on all details of campus
life. Complete accuracy will be our
prime aim," Miss Henry reported.

Kirwan told members of a Student Government Association meeting Monday night that certain news stories concerning the finding of whiskey in coeds purses by UK campus police at
the Interfraternity Council Dance Friday night were completely
distorted by downtown papers.
"I was out of town the night of the dance," Kirwan said, "but
when I got back and saw the picture of the campus police searching the purses, I investigated immediately."

Kirwan stated, and 'couldn't find it.
He said, after that, Mrs. Fortenberry

"This would be the last place in

A motion to rescind previous
action taken to provide for a supplement to the student directory
was passed. The directory committee
reported that of an estimated 300
students expected to enroll at the
University this semester, only 180
came. Members of the committee
said that the low number of new
students does not warrant a supple- ment.
J. E. Morris, manager of the campus book store, turned in the following statement to members of a
committee appointed to study the
price of used books: "New books are
sold at list price which is the price
set by the publisher and from which
book stores receive a 20 per cent dis- count. Here at Kentucky, the Uni- versity gets 10 per ent of the sales
and this leaves 10 per cent profit
for the store out of which transportation and all selling costs are
met.

Of Story About Campus Cops
Although the University and the Icxington Iler-alcame out with contradictory statements last
weekend, it appears hoth are satisfied to drop the
;ase concerning the story appearing in last Saturday's Herald that UK policemen searched and
found whiskey in some of the girls purses at the
IFC danceYiday night in the Student Union.
Dean A. D. Kinvan said this week that a meeting was held Monday of certain administration
members and that it was decided to forget alout
the matter and not say anything to the Herald. He
pressed that it was feared this would cause had
ielations between the University and the local
newspapers.
The news is definiteTy Tad pu7Ticity for UK. The
University should at least defend itself and seek
retraction of the story, if it feels the facts have lieen
misrepresented, regardless of maintaining good relationship with the pre"ss. We don't see how the
University can think that gixnl relations exist now
if it thinks the Herald published such distorted
facts.
The Herald doesn't seem to anxious to bring up
the subject again either, even to the extent to defend itself. The Lexington Ixader came out Saturday afternoon with a story quoting the UK cops
and University personnel as denying the charges
that whisky was found in the girls' purses.
After an investigation of our own, we see that
the Herald's story is thin in several places. The
second paragraph of the story stated that "the girls
checked their purses with the officers when they
went into the dance, obstensibily to protect their
valuables." This statement is unquestionably not
true as can be verified by anyone at the dance.

Telephone Addition
In Men 's Dorms
rs Not Much Help
The campaign to get telephones in the men's
dormitories has paid off, but only one finger of
one hand is needed to count the numl)er of phones
tliat have l)een acquired. One additional phone is
surely not much help for the approximately 550
boys that live in the dorms and is well below the
number we had hoped for.
It was announced at SGA meeting this week
tliat another phone will
put in later if needed.
Dean Kirwan said two additional pay phones "have
also leen ordered. But even this will not be adequate for such a large setup as the men's dorms.
Several plans were presented to SGA by Mike
Ganji, who deserves a lot of credit for the time and
effort he put into the project. The initial plan '
called for 16 or 20 phones which would le satisfactory. Another plan included a complete telephone-buzzer
system, which costs too much and
which we knew the Unive rsity would not listen to.
Sixteen phones would cost money", of course, but
the University should be willing to put out such
an amount. The University requires that all fresh
man boys live in the dorms, so it ought to give them
some conveniences.
SGA thanked a certain UK administrator this
week for cooperating in getting the phone in the
dorms. We can't blame him for cooperating. It's
not a bad bargain in trading 16 phones for only one.
The Student Government Association cannot le
blamed in this case for not achieving the full objective, liecause it made a complete investigation
and offered several plans. The University just
didn't feel like it should spend out money for such
a project. Maylie some day it will wake up to the
fact that the dorm loys deserve a few phones as
much as all the faculty and administration members do.

He looked at his watch; ten minutes before class.

to it. , I had to. But what 1 read under the title
"Discords" in the last issue of the Kernel, was too
much for an old lover of wine (definitely not
synonymous with drunkard).
Between reports about thieves and communists
you told your readers, apparently with great dis- -'
gust, that it is possible to study the culture of wine
and to make the degree of an academic vine cultivator at a German university. Can you tell me
what the discord is?
After a regular and complete study of agriculture, students in Germany can take special courses
in the cultivation of the vine plant and the preparation of wine. Why not? At UK agriculture students can take classes in cheese making. Do you
think cheese making is more academic than win
making? Hundreds of thousands of farmers in
Europe make their living with wine. To millions

lynch them, we convert them.

Editor's note Mr. Dichl, you misunderstood the
article. The title "Discords," is the name of the
column and is not intended to describe the types
of material in the column. The full name of the
column is "Cords and Discords." Last week there

full name ivs- shortened to "Discords." The article

to an unexpected halt as both the tardy cadet and
the cat rasseled in the middle of the sidewalk.
"Thinks, Bill," Tom said gratefully, as he took advantage of the situation and went to history class.
Tom opened the door and si inked toward his
