PTeregistratlon has been condemned by UK students
before it has had a chance to prove itself.
A Kernel survey, taken at random from all colleges

At the University, showed more than
interviewed favored changes in the prereglstra-tio- n
students
system.
The students said they felt some change was needed
which would be fair to all students, regardless of standing
or classification. Many simply stated "Let's go back to
the old system In the Coliseum."
The reclassification system is being tried for the
first time next semester. It was introduced because of
the many complaints which came from students who
were unable to schedule required courses.
The change in prereglstratlon led all other Items in
a suggested list of changes at the University. The students were aked to write; a list of five changes they
would make at UK If they were in the position to
one-thir-

make them.

The construction of new classrooms and buildings
rated high on the list of changes. Other Items listed were
stronger Student Congress, a closer student-facult- y
relationship, and an Improvement In the serving of
townspeople and students In the SUB.
Most frequently suggested new buildings were Social
Sciences, Commerce, and Physics. Both students and
faculty thought the library could be improved. Many
suggested increased stack privileges, air conditioning,
and some method of reducing noise.
. Suggestions concerning Student Congress ranged from
completely abolishing the organization, to increasing its
power. Most students said faculty control of SC should

"Keep the townspeople out of the SUB was th
attitude of most students. Some felt two separate serving
lines would help the situation. Others felt a special
meal ticket would alleviate some of the problem.
Other Items mentioned several times by students Included:
Thanksgiving holidays which start. Wednesday morning, less social activity and more time for class work,
better lights on campus, an improved grading system, a
special training program for advisors, more space for
student parking, and better dorms for freshmen women.
Items favored by several' prof essors were a five-da- y
work week, a uniform salary scale, and having basic
courses taught by the best professors, not graduate
assistants.
Several faculty members advocated placing UK on the
quarter system as used at many universities, instead of
the semester plan.

be lessened.

Those suggesting a closer student-facult- y
relationship felt many professors should have definite office
hours, and should be willing to help students. One faculty
member said Instructors who help students should not
have full teaching loads.

existence since 1925. The league

nine years ago.

* Giving Students Power
From the pages of the New York
Times .comes the revelation that an
Eastern university, Farlcigh Dickinson in New . Jersey, has intron
duced a new era in '
relations. Officials of this
university have worked out a construction program coming directly
under the aegis of the student body.
student-administratio-

For example, when the university
wanted to build a new lecture hall,
a special student assembly, along with
representatives of the construction
firms and university administrators,
heard bids, asked questions, and then
decided which company would get
the contract bid. And it wasn't always
the lowest bidder, since the students
took into consideration length of time
tp finish the job and additional materials needed.
The move by the New Jersey uni

versity is perhaps too bold for more
conservative Kcntuckians, who apparently regard college students as
too immature to make such significant
decisions and not well trained
enough to participate in matters of
business. But, in the words of the
Times, a student body "concerned
with what is being done to arrange
for better accommodations will,- by
environment, become more interested
in other activities of the university."
Although we don't expect UK officials to even consider such a step,
we wonder if the powers of Student
but
Congress are not only
even innocuous enough so as not to
interfere in administrative affairs?
To give the students more opportunity to express and assert themselves might enhance interest, create
understanding and morale, and build
stronger citizens.
