Anyone entering King Library
has seen the orange, yellow and
green signs reading "Ladies

The signs were put up last
spring as a warning to coeds who
were leaving their purses unattended while they went to other
locations in the building.
Too many, however, have not
heeded the warning, and there
has been an increase in thefts
of wallets and purses in the past

According to Mrs. Copeland,
many of the thefts would not

SG Fiasco
Bob Brown, Kernel editorial
page editor, was the first to speak
and outlined factors which he
believed responsible for what he
called the Student Government

"fiasco."
Brown proposed that Student
Government ideally should be on
a level of authority equal to that
of the University Senate, but
pointed out that only two members had presented over half of
the bills offered to the assembly.
Little can be accomplished as
long as "people elected to the
assembly regard their posts as a
playground," he said.
SDS Speaker
The second speaker of the
night, Frank Shannon from the
Steering Committee of the SDS,
felt that Student Government
should abandon its present form.
"They should- disband and
then form ad hoc committees of
-

interested students when important situations arise. These would
be students who are willing to
fight for what they want," Shannon stated.
Shannon stressed"important"
issues, pointing out that bills
brought before the assembly this
year have included a "Cod Save
The Wall" bill and a resolution
on his marriage.

"How many of the legislators
have the students here at Haggin
Hall met?" asked Shannon.
Act As Voice

Patt Maney, past president of
the Young Republicans, claimed
in turn that "I don't think the
role of the students or the Student Covemment is to run the
university."
He added that the concept
of Student Government was to
act as a voicefor student opinion,

Learning Committee Report Urges Change

By BILL MATTHEWS
Assistant Managing Editor
Over a year ago Dean Paul Nagle and the Arts and
Sciences Faculty Council created the Committee on
Learning and directed the five UK professors who compose it to explore "the range of means which might best
foster the intellectual growth of our students."
Last May 16, the Committee officially released its
report covering a "wide
findings in the form of a
range of problems connected with the learning climate
for undergraduates."
In a written memorandum the investigators stated,
"Among other concerns, we have discussed the problems
connected with the improvement of teaching, in recognition of its central importance as an element of the learning climate."
The committee report was distributed to the Arts and
Sciences faculty and some administrators during the
summer by Dr. Nagle, the former dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences.
The committee's report currently is being evaluated

Considering the assignment given it, the Learning
Committee set the following goals(as stated in its report)
for itself: "To weigh questions of what learning is and
how it takes place; to consider how the college's program
of learning and teaching is organized, and what faculty
and students think of it;' to Investigate the nature of
student capacity and motivation for learning; and to
make suggestions for improving the quality of learning
In the college."
The group then proceeded to identify 11 major areas

After consulting authorities on such problems, including faculty members, students and Dr. Harriet

made 23 recommendations which are the essence of
its report.

Students should rate each course at the end of every

semester.

Students should be encouraged to audit courses

Brown Attacked
After all the speakers had
finished the audience was quick
to respond to what had been said.

Bob Brown was accused by
one student of not having used
his position on the Kernel to

"help" Student Government.
He answered, "I don't think

Student Government is worthy
of all of my time." He pointed
out the Kernel had made an
efifort to get the platforms of the
candidates before the recent election, but that only two had turned
them in.

To the Editor of the Kernel:
Mr. White's evaluation of the Mora-

torium's "cheap politicking, flagrant emotionalism, and a brand of journalism that
defies couth behavior" bears a remarkable
similarity to fighting fire with fire. This
metlnxlology is very clever, omitting "intelligent, objective research" from his own
discourse. A brief analysis of this tried
and true strategy in his composition may
be very beneficial to our "modern whiz-ki- d
journalists."
"Cheap politicking" is carried through
brilliantly in White's second paragraph.
Mr. White bravely risks the danger of
libel in his humorously insipid and misconstrued comments on Kennedy's political aspirations.
In his third paragraph, White fires
both barrels of his flagrant emotionalism
and lack of intelligent research with pinpoint accuracy. The lack of intelligent research is embodied in the

mese populace knows, they've had no
casualties." His flagrant emotionalism
shines in the sentence ". . . only in America can this pointless, tasteless, disrespectful and petty attempt at sincerity
be accommodated." Finally, both his
emotionalism and lack of intelligent research are used to their fullest potential
in "Those whose names are read died in
defiance to totalitarian denial of rights."
I owe Mr. White an apology. Awhile
back, I criticized him for his uncouth
journalism, and up until reading this
article, I still had a misconception of how
his rantings and ravings are actually intended. With the analysis of this last
article, I realize what great satire he has
consistently written. However, he remains
too confined and selective in his subject
matter. Think what a marvelous job he
could do with Spiro Agnew.
