weekend.
The four drbatrr were chosen
from ity-fou- r
students who participated in IKs High School

The winning team. Thomas Donovan and Warren Stambauh. are
hWh schccl seniors from Maysville.
The oppcsition, debating the nega-tlm- e,
weie John Dansby and Johnnie Patton, seniors from Ashland.
The affirmation based the need
for federal aid cn the lark of
qualified personnel In the teach-l- n
profession, and the shortage of
classrooms.
"There are 16 million more
teachers needed. The colleges are
now supplying 95.K0 teachers a
year," said Warren Stambaugh of
the affirmative.
' One hundred thousand teachers
le.tve the profession yearly. During
the 19G0's it is estimated that
pupils will te gained.
"In the United States today
there Is a shortage rf 140.000 classrooms. This figure in turn affects
56 percent c.f the children enrolled.
In Kentucky the
shortage is 8.406 or 40 percent of the
students aie hi ovei crowded classrooms."
Tom Donovan, debating the affirmative, proposed the Kennedy
p'an as the answer to educational
pi oblems.
"The proposed bill for 850 million dollars will luie teachers from

"In Kentucky this would raise the
salary of every teacher by J200."

Kappa Delta Pledges
Win Sigma Chi Derby
By JEAN BROWN
Kernel Staff Writer
Kappa De lta sorority successfully emerged Saturday as the
winne r of the 1961 Sigma Chi

Derby.
Phyllis Ann Howard, Alpha
Gamma Delta, was chosen queen.
Each sorority entered two pledges
who were Judged by Mrs. Allene
Kennedy, Sigma Chi house mother,
Mrs. Katherine Roberts, Keene-lan- d
Hall, and Dr. Richard Gilliam, professor of law.
Other sororities and their placing. were Kappa Kappa Gamma.
Delta Zeta, Delta Gamma. Alpha

tied for fifth place, Delta Delta

Pi, and Pi Beta Phi tied for tenth
place, and Chi Omega took twelfth
place.
Cold fall winds failed to discour

age the throng of students who
lined the rope barriers anxiously
awaiting the beginning of the
derby.
The activities began at 5 a.m.
Saturday. Sorority pledges then
formed lines at the men's dormitories and the Sigma Chi house to
await the emergence of any man
wearing a SX derby.
A pledge suffered
a ruptured
abdominal wall on the porch of the
Sigma Chi house while she was
fighting with another pledge for a
derby. The injured pledge stated
that she was pounced upon by approximately ten girls from other
sororities and someone stepped on
her stomach.
Pity these men, for they were
stampeded from every direction
imaginable. One SX man was
chased for one and one-ha- lf
miles
through the center of town. Another was caught while delivering

newspapers at 5:15 a.m. But by
noon all derbies had been seized
and the campus prepared for the
afternoon events.

IBADAN, Nigeria, Oct. 16 (AP A postcard that went astray has

Her postcard heme, dropped accidentally on the campus, was copied

Margery Mithelmore, 23, Smith College honor graduate from
Foxboro, Mass., quickly apologized to the university authorities for
wilting the "thoughtless card" and offered to resign from the corps
In an attempt to quiet the uproar.
Peace Corps Director Sargent Shriver said in Washington he

Mithelmore had written to a friend in Boston telling him:
"With all the training we had we were really not prepared for the
squalor and absolutely primitive living conditions rampant both in
the cities and the bush.
"We had no idea about what underdeveloped means. It really is
a revelation, and once we got over the initial, horrified shock, it is
a very rewarding experience. Everyone except us lives in the streets,
cooks in the streets, and even goes to bathrooms In the streets."

The campus YMCA and
YWCA annually provide an op-

Mrs. Sondra Hicks, YMCA director.
A list of those people excused will

Rats dislike being idle just as people do.
This was the finding of a study made on "activity deprivation"
in rats by James W. Clark, former graduate student. Clark's work for
his master's thesis was done under the supervision of Dr. Edward Lee
Newbury, associate piofessor in the Department of Psychology.
Clark found there was a tendency for the activity of rats to
increase significantly during idleness.
The rats first learned to run a rotating cage without any reward
except the activity itself. After this running speed was developed the
rats were placed in an enclosed confinement during the normal period
of activity.
The rats were divided into three groups. The groups were confined for differing lengths of time prior to their activity periods. The
period of confinement caused an increase in activity.
"Experiments of this type sometimes produce increased or decreased activity, depending on the activity being measured. This is the
clearest evidence so far on activity deprivation in the wheel," Dr.
Newbury stated.
"These findings are related to the tendencies for animals to use
their surroundings for experiencing new stimulations. This is a fnuda-ment- al
trait of higher organisms.
"In humans this would be called curiosity. It Is best demonstrated
by people looking for something new on vacations or scientists searching for discoveries.
This experiment has added further Information to research 111
this field."
Clark, who received his M A. this past June after completing thl3
experiment, is now with the Army Human Research Office at George
Washington University, Washington, DC.

no election can be perfect that's just
politics.
Earlier, we had been criticized for
telling students about the secretive
attitude that mysteriously settles
Council
around the Interfraternity
whenever ugly, embarrassing matters
come up for discussion.
To recall a third incident, several
irate readers stormed into this newspaper's office last Wednesday when a
signed satire of Stoll Field football
games appeared in the Kernel. Is the
football team somehow set apart from
the rest of us and therefore above
criticism? we asked. The reply was
curt and confident: "Yes."
Such an attitude is deplorable, especially when it is discovered among
informed people of a society that is
supposed to be founded on the right
to speak, write, criticize, and dissent
as one's conscience directs. Clearly
many students at UK are not being
well educated about the freedom they
have as Americans and the responsibilities that are consequent to that
freedom.
The free press, let it be said, does
not exist to put out puff for anyone.
Its job is to inform the people, accurately and fairly, about all the news.
Any newspaper that does otherwise is
a newspaper unworthy of the name.

Judging from the comments we
have heard in (lie last frw days, tin?
job of any newspaper, wlietlier it is
free or the captive mouthpiece of
administrators, is to report in detail the news that is "good,"
anil to innocently ignore whatever
news is deemed "bad." Such curious
treatment of current events, we have
been assured, will always put forward
a glorious, glistening image of the
community that the newspaper serves.
It is disheartening to see some
University students rallying around

They would,
in short, have the devil take truth, especially when truth tends to stomp
on the soft, even bubbles of harmony
and good public relations.
The Kernel, for example, was a
popular target at the recent Leadership Conference. Some students there
instructed us that it was in bad taste,
that it showed a lack of school spirit,
that it was just plain wrong for the
Kernel to have published news photographs that showed the Student Congress general election in a poor light.

Degrees Without An Education
A faculty member on the panel of

tem would become more effective
once it had become traditional.
We hardly expect, as a result of
any honor system, to see school spirit
ring out from the classrooms as it
does from McLean Stadium Saturday nights. But UK might reach the
point where its students consider cribbing the exception rather than the
procedure, and campus organizations
might even burn their files of standard finals.
Any future cribbing scandal here
could be as shocking as the cribbing
scandals at the U.S. Military Academy a few years ago, where, incidentally, there has been an honor
system since the academy's beginning.

the seventh annual Leadership Conference at Camp Daniel Boone recently made the remark that "students
come to the University
but not education-oriented.- "
We
can only assume that the faculty member meant that students come to the
University to get degrees by w hatever
nefarious methods required, and that
there is no correlation between a degree and an education here.
Clearly, if the majority of students
come to UK to get degrees by whatever method they can, an honor system is called for. Hut later in the conference, the same faculty member
said he felt students were basically
honest. Another member of the panel
added that he did not feel that an
honor system would develop a sense
of responsibility. And that, apparently, was that as far as the honor
system was concerned.
The question remains, however,
are UK students largely cheerful liars,
given to various subterfuges to get
degrees, and, if so, would it not help
to put them formally on their honor?
We think so.
Viewing the question realistically,
we must admit there are some students enrolled at UK merely to get
degrees, with or without corresponding educational uplifting. However,
these students would be aflected to
some extent by an overall consciousness on the part of the s udent body
of the obligation of scholarship: to
honestly get an education. The sys

Reasons For Giving
This year, as in years past, members of the University community are
being confronted with the familiar
cry, "Give the United Way." This is
the plea of our United Community
Fund. Like all issues there are two
sides to be examined.
A United Community Fund is an
organization of most local and a few
national charities. It has one purpose
raise funds. The organization is private; its funds come from contributions rather than public taxes.
While most members of our community know about UCF, few stop
to think about its reason for being
in existence. Fund raising is an expensive business, so UCF unifies the
expenses and puts them into one campaign. The UCF tries to lessen the
bother on the donor no one likes to
see a hand out everywhere, or a cons
stant flood of
at his
door.
UCF helps the small charity and
those with little appeal instead of
making them run competition with
other charities. UCF assures the public that all its member charities are
in good standing that money raised
goes to the needy, not administration.
Though giving the united way appears to be the best method, there
are some drawbacks which merit attention. They are mentioned, not to
be cynical, but to point out the need
for reform.
The UCF has a goal; a composite
money-seeker-

of the budgets of the participating
charities plus the cost of the campaign itself. If the goal is not reached,
problems arise. The money is divided,

after costs, by a
An organization which receives
only a part of its budget may try to

Under the UCF plan, a donor
gives or doesn't give. This either
or situation causes problems. The
donor interested in one small charity
is out of link with a gilt to UCF.
So is tin donor who is opposed to
one of the
charities, as
some are to the Bed Cross. To give
to UCF is to gie to the lied Cross.

A third

donor as an individual. He may disassociate himself with the individual
charities, and give a di peisonalii d

payment for services. The donor feels
Jie can get rid of the poor, sick, and
destitute in the same manner he gets
rid of his garbage, or pays the light
bill.

In the future, when the appeal
comes, let us be fully aware of what
and why we are giving not to remain
complacent to simply give because it
is l!ie accepted thing to do.

Student Chureli Affiliation
Christianity among college students seems to be dropping. The
number of students who have no
church affiliation has grown considerably of late, according to the records of dillerent colleges.
In the 1937 TCU General Information Catalog, there were two students with no church affiliation. The
1961 catalog lists 3S2.
Could this mean that college students are breaking away from religion, or is it only a tendency to show
independence from the straight and
narrow?
One senior expressed his views,
"I don't have anything to do with
church anymore, for it seems to have
become a commercial venture."
Others simply sleep too late on
Sunday mornings.
One coed says she does not have
the clothes to compete in the church
fashion show each week.

Studies and late parties on .Saturday night could be taking their toll
on the Sunday morning worshipers.
Some students give lack of transportation as their reason for skipping
church.
This lack of interest in organized
religion apparently is not totally dependent upon Christianity itself.
Although they may not go to
church, most students profess a belief in God.
A religion
professor explained,
"Students who attend church regularly at home sometimes quit going
when they come to college since
there is no one to make them get up
and go."
Could this be the answer to the
question why students don't attend
church? Or is the solution more

Pi lor to a game with the Cats,
Southern Methodist University

"Kentucky Is unbeatable. There
Is no use for us to practice for the

While Bell was bemoaning the
thought of playing Kentucky, our
