Meanwhile, police investigations
had turned up no definite suspects,

Police have thus far been able
to give this account of the crime:
At 7:30 o'clock Thursday night
Miss Brown drove to the Transylvania campus to study for a biology test.
She parked her 1959 Simca in
the campus driveway across from
Forrer Hall, a woman's dormitory,
went into the building, and studied

Attack On Teaching History
Dr. Aniry Vandt iihoscli saiil
yesterday lie was nrvcr more
serious in liis lile when lie called for an end to teaching Kentucky history in elementary and
secondary schools.

The head of the Patterson
School of Diplomacy, speaking
the annual meeting of the
Kentucky Association of Colleges,
'Secondary and Elementary
Schools. Friday, said, "When the
United Nations was organized, it
was ironical that Kentucky students were still studying about
Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton."
The reply came in answer to
an editorial in yesterday's Lexington Herald suggesting that Dr.
anilenbosch might have been

joking about ending the teaching
of Kentucky history.
"It is not my intention to depreciate the study of local or state
history, but my question is whether the school children can afford
to spend time on these subjects at
the expense of vastly more important studies."
He further commented that, in
a time of
bombs and
long-rang- e
missiles, it is tragic
to study subjects that narrow
rather than broaden the student's
outlook. With such a shortage of
time, students must not study
items of little Importance, he said.
"The study of national history

Bloc Seating Unnecessary

Although the bloc seating plan
resolution was passed by a substantial majority last week by Student
Congress, we are left wondering if
the vote reflects the true feelings of
the entire student body.
To us, it only proves that some
students consider the organization to
be an outlet for pet projects.
The statement that the purpose of
at the Xavier game is to
promote school spirit is weak and
lather vague. We would like for those
who champion this plan to prove that
residents of the housing units will
join in this venture wholeheartedly.
We have also been told the bloc
seating plan will be only for the one
home game to promote "stag day." As
yet, no one has been willing to fully
discuss the matter with a Kernel reporter.
Because of this, we are left wondering if there might be some intention by the Greeks to test the willingness of unaffiliated students to allow bloc seating for this game and
any future games.
There also seems to be some reluctance on the part of some Greeks
to go along with the plan. We realize,
howeYcr, there will always be some
opposition to anything from all sides.
We can only say that this plan or
any like it will not be justified until
the interests of all students are taken
into consideration. Until such a plan
is proposed, without discrimination

against any group, the Kernel is forced
to oppose the present movement or
anything similar to it.
A bloc seating plan Yvas proposed
two years ago, finally ending in a
"grab bag" for recognition from all

see the "Greek" congress, Student Congress if you prefer, has
adopted bloc seating for the Xavier
game. Nothing can be done to prevent this, independents. You who represent 86 percent of the student body
are forced to sit where the Greeks
(14 percent) tell you. This has come
to pass lecause you did not elect independents to the congress. Maybe
you'll wise up next year but that's
what they said last year.

At every half time of our home
games, I have heard our band play
the UK Alma Mater. Everyone respectfully stands while it is being
played, but as of yet I have not heard
anyone sing the words. Certainly an
alma mater, especially such a beautiful one as we have, has words, but
why doesn't anyone know them? I
didn't find any mention of the words
anywhere in the welcoming literature

are able to sing "My Old Kentucky

sing our school's Alma Mater. What

A

Fair Share Of

lly A. RRUCE CHERRY
To The Editor:
I feel it is necessary to reply to
the letter of Oct. 13 written by C. L.
Morgan. This letter hardly seems to
be constructive criticism, for if criticism of anything in particular were
intended it could not be thought of
as constructive. Constructive clarification is welcome, of course.
I must admit I do not know exactly what I am answering, because
the letter did not exactly say anything.
I, however, do have a few things
to say about some of the things mentioned such as selfishness, test files,
the Leadership Conference, a n d
groups. ,
Perhaps students and faculty are,
for the most purt, selfish. 1 doubt it.
At any rate, I fail to understand how
selfishness can benefit the University
or its people. Certainly student standards should be higher and our faculty
should be stronger, but it cannot be
done effectively by selfishness.
I think an honest appraisal of our
purposes and how we, as individuals
and as a university, may fulfill them
can be of bent fit. It must be chewed,
spit out, and chewed again, by administrator as well as freshman, until

UK's Total Activities Load

we understand this university, until
we know its spirit. Then, maybe we
will have enough interest to want and
demand higher standards in our
faculty.
I further fail to understand how
selfishness or a supposedly resultant
honor system would mark test files as
"second hand learning." A method of
study is as effective as a student
finds it, and I am unable to judge
any method except as it relates to myself. Frankly Mr. Morgan, I don't
see how you do any better. Secondly,
I believe a test file in the Margaret
I. King Library would protect students from lethargic professors and
provide an outline of what is important to know.
The Leadership Conference certainly did illustrate the need for leadership. It brought to mind the fact
that many freshmen need leadership
to show them what to expect both
academically and socially at the University. Freshmen generally have
some spirit and interest until they
perceive, by the lack of uppcrclass-mai- i
effort, that to have no spirit is
more "sophisticated" and that in
reality there is no spirit at UK. This
is leadership that can be supplied only

by personal contact with

uppcrclass-men-

.

Perhaps the freshman days of Mr.
Morgan were so well oriented, clear
cut, and spirited he would not be
aware of this freshman need.
I cannot agree that groups are
always "nice" and "important," nor
that they always accomplish little. I
do agree that the Leadership Conference illustrated a need for leadership in the groups on campus.
One of the more delightful discoveries at the conference was that
present and future leaders are vitally
interested in all groups on this
campus and more particularly how
they should relate to each other and
to the University as a whole.
I do not prophesy a sudden and
awesome change in these relationships; it should not be expected.
Apathy anil selfishness have been
rampant far too long- Hut it seems
now is the time to begin improvement.
There are those of us who are
working towards the definite goal oV
good personal and group relationships. Perhaps a campus-widspirit
can be realized through this goal.
Granted, many groups on campus are
only nice, are not important, and accomplish little. Yet, improvement in
-

e

organizations woithy of the ellort,
and improvement in relations between
them can be achieved, but only
through ellort, Mr. Morgan.
Apathy drags on these ellorts,
however. A leader needs a group.
Groups should and could very well
inspire an academic spirit as well as
an improved social spirit. I do not
agree with cer thing that President
Dickey says, but he made one point
at the Leadership Conference with
which I do agree: Students who are
cither wholly academic or wholly social in their outlook are pulling only
half of their share of the load. Dr.
Dickey relers to the load of the "total
activities" of the University.
I do not appeal to any who hail
wholly one way or the other; these
people would most likely be happier
if I left them alone. In short, Mr.
Morgan, I do not appeal to you
(which is probably an understatement by now), but I appeal to those
students who want to pull their lull
share of the load.
I will probably be accused of
idealism again. Rut I am of the same
mind as one before who said it better.
"A University is a place; it is a
spirit. . . . Amen."

The cast of the years' first play
was described as "perfect." "Excellent lighting, costuming and other
Incidentals were well executed,"
paid the Kernel.
The play concerned the visit of
an actress to the country home of
a ftrdate family and the resultant
effect on a male adolescent member of the family.
The audience seemed deliRhted
with the play and many expressed
their desire for another like it.

Kentucky had been expected to
lose the game, so naturally their

the crowd of 6,000.
The Clemson coach even commented, "I thought I played on
the best team at Vanderbilt that
the South ever saw, but I was

and it was Kentucky."
Sports writers were speculating
whether the Wildcats would be the

If victories continued, UK would

Kernel Became
Biweekly In 1949

There was a clamoring for more
adequate news coverage of campus
affairs this week in 1949.
The SGA (Student Government
Association) recommended to
obtain improved news coverage,
the Kentucky Kernel should be is- rued on Tuesdays and Fridays of
cach week instead of only on Fri- days, as had been the practice.
Dr. Mel Plummer, director of
the School of Journalism, said the
appeal would be given every con
sideration. Dr. Plummer noted that
contracts with national advertisers
would have to be studied, and the
amount of labor and supplies inbe determined,
volved
before it
rould be decided if the extra edition could be undertaken for the
next fcemester.
It was announced 12 years ago
this week that the military department of the University was to con-Fi- st
of one regiment of ground
troops and one wing of Air Force
enrollees. The regiment was to contain three battalions and the wing
two groups.
An art seminar at UK this week
in 1949 set forth a few ideas on
me suDject oi art. At this seminar
a theory was advanced that mod- rn art served no purpose in the
modern world other than to satisfy
the artist himself It. was nlsn oh.
M'rv,d that the present trend was
to- away from abstract painting
ward a more recognizable type.
The Kernel's society column 12
years at,o, gave accounts of all the
happenings. It told of a party after
the Cincinnati game at the Ken- -

tuckian Hotel. A few boys were
seen wandering around in their
pajamas, and "none of them could
understand why the law wouldn"t
allow them to take a short cut
down the fire escapes." Society also
reported that the "sociology as- Mgnment about the Eskimo kiss
is now being studied In the grill."
