The Student Union Board recently passed a ruling which says
no campaigning or electioneering

No restrictions will be placed on
the Arts and Sciences campaigners

This ruling was passed at the

It has been said that during the

Now here you are at the library. That wasn't so bad. was
it? Of course not! Go inside. What do you see? A sign that
says "No Smoking." Go outside. Light a Philip Morris.
Smoke. Go back inside.

Because now you are ready. Now your trembling
resolution is rigid. Now your pulsing psyche is serene. You
have been gentled by gentle Philip Morris. You have been
tranquilized by a smoke that dotes and pampers and caresses,
that lifts the fallen, repairs the shattered, straightens the
bent, unravels the knotted, rights the askew, and fastens the
unbuttoned.
In the center of the library you sec the main circulation
desk. Look in the card catalogue for the number of the book
you want, write the number on a slip, and hand it to the
efficient and obliging young lady at the desk. The elhcient
and obliging young lady then gives the slip to an efficient
and obliging page boy who trots briskly back into the stacks,
curls up on a limp leather encyclopedia, and sleeps for an
hour or two. Then, puffy but refreshed, he returns your slip
to the efficient and obliging young lady at the desk, who tells
you one of three things: (a) "Your book is out." (b) "Your
book is at the bindery." (c) "Your book is on reserve."
-

I lav ing learned that the circulation desk hasn't the
least intention of ever parting with a book, let us now go
into the periodical room. Here we sjend hours sifting through
an imposing array of magazines-magazin- es
from all the far
corners of the earth, magazines of every nature and descrip-tion-bthough we search diligently and well,
find Mad or Confidential.
Next let us venture into the reference room. Here in this
hushed, vaulted chamber, we find the true scholars of tho
university earnest, dedicated young men and women who
care for only one thing in the world : the pursuit of knowledge.
Let us eavesdrop for a moment on this erudite couple

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL. Frid.iv. Mav I. 1956

lime

on campus

by Dick Biblcr

Pre-Alu- ms
It was an excellent idea to go to the students themselves for ideas, but like any other
new group, the committee selected to work
with the Alumni Association could easily be
talked to death. Talking in broad, general
terms will not help the alum association, and
will certainly kill student interest.
The committee should lc put to work immediately, so that interest will not die. The
best way to keep up interest, perhaps, would
be the sponsoring of an annual event for students and alums, with the funds to go to the
Alumni Association. Regular meetings of the
committee should le held, and possibly a
club, open to all juniors and
seniors should he formed. This would interest students in being active alums long

Tim best way to create active alumni is by
reaching UK students before they become

alumni.
This simple fact seems to have been ignored for some time, but now the UK Alumni
Association is starting to do something about
the situation. A committee of junior and
senior students met to discuss and formulate
plans for aiding the alum association.
The first activity of the group will be contacting the senior classes of each college and
informing the graduating students of the

value of belonging to and supporting the
Alumni Association. This act alone will help
a great deal; far too many students have a
hnzy picture of what the association does.
Ultimately the association hopes to have
all students learn about its programs. It is
not limited to. graduates only; the minimum
requirement is that the student attended UK
for at least a semester.

Tre-Alum-

s"

before they graduate.
The program for student support of the
Alumni Association has been born. It is only
hoped that it will not die in its infancy.

Dear Sir:

In view of the recent controversy over the new party, it
would seem to me that the opinion of some outsiders would be
appropriate. Since I could not sign everyone's name to this letter, I will use my voice to express the feelings of others.
In the last student election, 1S00 out of 6300 students on the
campus of the University of Kentucky, cast their ballot, knowingly or unknowingly, for students to represent them in S.G.A.
The fact that these students were interested or' qualified was
not questioned. The platforms of their parties, if known, made
little difference to the average individual voter. No one asked
what our student government did after elections. All these
things would seem to indicate a lack of interest in our student
government association.
Some weeks ago several student organizations were brought
abruptly to the realization of their dogma surrounding campus
politics. They banded together and began a movement destined
to snowball into the most overwhelming campaign ever seen on
this campus. Why? Recau.se for the first time students are interested in students; interested in the independent and the
Greek alike on the basis of their "personal merits"; interested in
hearing the voice of the individual and giving him more power
to get a fair deal.
In short, it appears that the principle and theory of the new
party is not based on popularity and personal preferences, but
on the individual qualifications of the candidates.
Sincerely,
Pat Roache

The Kernel admires Stylus for their sassi- ness. A month or so ago the Kernel con- demned UK's literary magazine as "obscene,
profane, and poorly written". Last week, in
answer to the Kernel, posters for the spring

realize these facts. Unfortunately few do
anything about it.
Lexington's Civilian Defense unit has repeatedly asked for volunteers from the University, but the turnout has been almost
negligible. This is probably not from sheer
unconcern, as it might appear, but rather
from ignorance of the important work that
CDC is accomplishing.
More students would become CDC members, more than likely, if campus organizations took up this work as their projects.
SGA, for one, could effectively help publicize the goals of this national defense organization. Many women's groups could help
especially.
Students who do volunteer a portion of
their time to the CDC whether in their
home towns or in Lexington will find that
the work is both interesting and rewarding
in personal satisfaction. There is, after all,
more in being an American than just waving"
a flag.

Day and night, across the nation, hundreds of modern-da- y
patriots are donating
their time that Washington, Loe Angeles,
New York or even Lexington may never
become another Hiroshima.
These people are members of the Civilian
Defense Corps, and it is their actions and
not their words that proclaim them true
citizens of a working democracy. They are
the men and women who scan the skies,
ready to alert the nation should an aggressor
try to strike.
Members of the Civilian Defense Corps
wear no uniforms and receive no pay. They
garner no medals, nor do they gain public
recognition.
On the surface their jobs seem monotonous, and some even go so far as to question
the merits of the CDC.
"What about the DEW Line and modern
radar?" asked one student. "No plane could
slip through those setups!"
"No nation would dare try to bomb the
United States," said another. And one young
lady stated that defense was the responsibility of the military.
The military realizes that no scientific
warning pattern is perfect. Pearl Harbor
proved that an enemy nation could and
would dare a sneak attack, and defense is
everybody's, not just the military's job.
Of course, most UK students already

Dear Sir:
Last Friday's 'Workshop' published in the Kernel and written by Kay Hornhack contained, we believe, an unjust statement and we wish clarity. The Baptist Student Union, a religious organization on campus was referred to as a political
pressure group and as "the independent stronghold of the US1"
YVc feel the wrong impression is given, for the purpose of
the HSU is to serve as a link between the student and the college church in Lexington, and not to be known for its nonexistent group part in party politics.
Granted that a number of KSU'ers actively participate in
campus politics. However, their own convictions about student
government should not be confused with the interests of the
entire group.
Being a religious group the Baptist Student Union has not
joined any political party.

Sincerely,
