The men were judged on their
ability to fire from three positions:
prone, standing, and kneeling. The
highest pcible score Wis 330
points.
Tommy Mueller, a senior education majcr from Ft. Thomas,
scored 293 points. He now leads
the league with the highest Individual score.
Marshall Turner, a Junior In the
College of Arts and Sciences, from
Paducah, was second with 238
pouits. The match was important
for Kentucky bccau.se Ohio was
previously in first place.

June Moore, Arts and Sciences
representative and a member of
the Air Force Sponsor Corps, advanced the motion which was defeated.
The vote followed a brief verbal
skirmish in which one delegate
objected to the (rant because "we
loaned the Air Force $1,500 a while
bark and haven't seen hide nor
hair of it since."
Some of the congress members
apparently voted against the pro

posed appropriation only because
SC Treasurer Cecil Bell, Agriculture, was uncertain as to the
amount of money which Student
Congress has in its treasury.
"We certainly don't want to give
away money .that we haven't got,"
objected one delegate.
Bell appointed a committee of
four congress members to look
into the organization's finances.
Meanwhile, the Aerospace Science Department is hurriedly attempting to solicit money for the
trip from other quarters.
"We're going if I have to write
a check to pay for the damn thing
myself," said Capt. Dale Rook, a
department instructor.
A plea for money was made
directly to Air Force ROTC cadets
In their classes yesterday.
Slips of paper were given to the
cadets which, if filled out, will
enable their Instructors to withdraw the needed amount of money
from the military deposit of each
cadet who decides to contribute.
(Each ROTC cadet pays a $10
deposit which Is used to pay for
any damages to military equipment that he might cause. If he

AFROTC students were also
given the opportunity to contribute

Cadets were asked to sign their

Indian Librarian Commends U.S. Education
By JUNE GRAY

Krrml Staff Writer
The American higher educational system is superior to
the F.uropean systnn, says an
Indian librarian who is visiting here this month.
Uindiieshwre Mishira, the assistant itirertor of the library of
University in Bihar, India,
commended that the chief difference in the two systems steins
from the emphasis we put u;mn
extensive research and reading
aud they upon memory.
This Is undesirable because ones
the material is lost from memory,
it is none forever; but here in
America, he explained, you have
libraries with many thousands of
volumes to which you may refer.
In India,' which is based upon
tha European educational sysltun,
though, because of a lack of fund.;,
students must rely upon very few

The curriculum and examinations are planned in consideration of this handicap.
India has a five year program.
The first three years are devoted
to undergraduate
work which
leads to a bachelor degree and
the second two years to a master
degree. Three years of additional
study must be completed for a
doctor's degree.
The enrollment system is quite
different, Mishlra said. In India,
the entering student chooses three
majors, then his freedom ends.
He has no choice of courses;
they are determined by the registrar. Each course is specifically
required tn. each major field.
Furthermore, the student has
no ilioiee of professors. The professor decides which students he
wants in his class and he send'
a list to the registrar. Then the
registrar notifies the student of
which class he Is In.
The Indian testing system is

much harder, according to Mbhira.
The professor teaching the course
gives brief tests during the year
which do not add to the final
grade. At the end of the year, an
examination over the entire course
is prepared and given by a professor from another university. He
determines whether the student
passes or fails.
If the student passes, he Is promoted to the next year. There is
no such thing as credit hours.
At the end of the three year
period, a final comprehensive examination on all three majors Is
also given by professors from
other universities to determine if
a degree shall be gi anted.
Mishira, who has been in the
United States since October, is
observing and studying the American educational system especially

* Keeping Dormitory Open

Men's dormitory officials have decided to keep one dormitory open
or students who w ish to stay in Lexs
ington during the
vacation as was done during the recent Christmas holidays.
After first announcing that all dormitories would be closed for Christmas, officials relented, apparently
after considering the hardships that
would have been created for students
had all dormitories been closed.
We believe that the decision to
keep a dormitory open during vacations is a commendable one and
should become an official policy for
all short holiday periods. Many students work in Lexington; others need
the time at school for research or other
studies; and, as many students noted
before Christmas, foreign students
often have no other place to go.
Keeping one dormitory open does
not create any unusual problems for
the staff and is not a financial burden.
When school is not in session, custodial employees are still at work and
heating is maintained as usual. But if
between-semester-

that were not the case, student convenience should still rate first consideration. Any minor inconveniences for
the staff are far outweighed by the
benefits to students .
In the final analysis, one must
remember that the University exists
for its students. Both the administrative staff and the faculty often appear unaware this basic fact, but the
state would hardly appropriate millions of dollars just to provide employment for professors, secretaries,
and janitors. And conspicuous among
the facilities built exclusively for student use are the dormitories.
It is localise of this that we
especially applaud the dormitory decision. In the future we hope to see
more such decisions based on the
"student first" philosophy.

After four months we (two freshmen) can truthfully say that we are
very impressed by practically everything at the Univeisity of Kentucky.
The students are fairly intelligent and
easy to get along with; the faculty
is well equipped
to perform its
duties; the campus is attractive and
well kept. In short, just about every
phase of college life at UK seems
perfect.
However, there is one big gap
in this
institution. UK
appears to lack school spirit in any
shape, form, or fashion.
No matter what activity the University is engaged in, it receives very
little support from the student body.
Whether it be varsity basketball or
intramural "touch," the response is
inevitably the same lousy.
This may not seem to be a major
deficiency to an outsider, but we

of work dogging their daily tracks,
is now upon us, and nothing further
can I utter until the coming academic
exercises have passed. Alas
I
have lapsed into my old habits again,

Attempts Simplicity

To The Editor:
My dear Mr. R., since briefness
and clarity of meaning are apparently
your desire, I am honor bound to
comply with your wishes. This letter
will state all as quickly and as elementarily as is possible. Thus, before
I waste more of your valuable time
or saddle you with too burdensome a
task of reading, I shall commence
with my final epistle for this semester.
Time has passed. Much has been

but allow me one more attempt, kind sir, for my intentions
are honorable in every way.
I will try once more to be simple.
I have a plan for next semester. I
will go to the students. I will call
upon the readers to enter into our
discussions. Since the diversity of our

audience is so great, wc will have
to run the gamut of campus activities from religious groups to the new
student government. Yes, Mr. R., it
will be our responsibility to provide
the most accurate information possible in our writings, and to fairly
distribute praise and condemnation
with that ultimate degree of human
objectivity so well exemplified in our
past endeavors.
Mr. R., . . . I cannot do it! I cannot express myself in the style of
Hemingway, and I refuse to insult my
readers by attempting to do so. I
also note that my literary powers will
not permit me to shorten my letters.
I received your advice, sir, in good
faith, and you can plainly see I have
made an effort to reform, but the
I can't! Therefore,
simple fact is
until next semester, I wish you the
best of luck during finals and offer
this warning for the future: never
include constructive criticism on an
exam.

To The Editor:
Once again in the course of the
year the Kernel has, to say the least,
blundered. The misinterpretation of
a few comments jokingly made by a
couple of girls, who did not know
that their comments were to be made
public and published as undisputed
fact, have jeopardized a
friendship that has been built throughout the semester between the men
and women students living in the
Quadrangle.
This semester has been the University of Kentucky's first experiment
in coeducational
living, one that
many people have hopes of continuing in the fall semester of 1901. We
girls realize that we have been the
first and that anything that is new
and different is left wide open to
comments, criticism, and, in all due
respect to the Kernel, your misinformed, although often amusing articles. We girls, however, feel that it
is in rather poor taste to amuse oneself at the expense of others.
We girls feel very strongly about
this matter. We believe that the facts
should be made public, but that a
g

few joking comments made by a few
girls do not constitute the feelings of
all women living in Bowman Hall.
The men have been courteous and
will behaved, and I therefore apologize to the nun with complete confidence that my feelings are those of
nearly every woman resident living
in Bowman Hall. We therefore feci
that the Kernd most definitely owes
an apology to loth the men and
women students living in the Quadrangle.

Tat On The Back

To The Editor:
Now that the Cats have lost three
straight SEC games it should be
evident that the conference is no
longer made up of Kentucky and the
pushovers. It is not because the Cats
have lost as much of their past greatness as it may appear; the other teams
have improved greatly. The main
reason for this is that they got tired
of the lickings they got from the Blue
and White. Consequently, as the
teams improve, the one they want to
beat more than anybody else is Ken-tu- c
y.

The team we have this
ycai is
a good team but can no longer be
expected to win only because they
have Kentucky on their jerseys,
neither should they be considered
stumbkbums because they don't win
all their conference games like some
of the teams of old.
Now, more than any other time
since the Cats were placed on probation for a year, they really need the
support of the fans. Here's hoping
the students, the campus organizations, and the Kernel will get behind the team and give the boys
really strong support when they
need it most.
The game Saturday with Tennessee will be the first step in a long
