Dean cf Men L. L. Mr.rtin revealed the rumor to delegates rtt'.ndinK the recent Leadership Conference at
Camp Dr.nitl Eoone. Dean Martin said that a qualified

purposes.

Th'e delegates' work on the panty raid problem was turned
over to Dean Martin and Dean Holmes.
The Student Government Association was told of the
situation at its rcguh.r meeting Mondav night bv ivin
Martin. SGA assembly members passed a res iluti.it opposing any tvie of mass student activity detrimental to

the University.
The SGA resolution reads, 'Ncsolvcd. tlie Studeni
Government Association of the University of Kentucky
cot s on record as being opposed to any typ of mas student activity that would be detrimental to the reputation
of the school and supports the University's policies In
regard to this matter."
Fraternity, sorority, and other UK organizations had
called meetings at which members weie informed of the
panty raid rumors and urged to help stop such an action.
Residents of the men's and women's dormitories also
were told about the panty raid rumors. It was pointed
out that a panty raid would be detrimental not only to

the s'udent tK:y. but alo to the University Itself
The panty raid rumors came shortly after the O. t .1

I did not mourn Maud long, for after Maud came Doris
Doris of the laughing eyes, Doris of the shimmering hair, Dom

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Friday. Ocf. H, 193.
t

ad Mistake

MlM.
Olio of the most serious Mack marks that
tin' University of Kentucky lias liad to erase
ears was tlie infamous "panty'
in recent
raid in tlie spring of lf)")2.
Tin action, wliicli started in the form of
a minor raid, resulted in the suspension of
1() students and damages running into thousands of dollars. This, coupled with the tremendous loss of prestige the University suffered, made May 21, 19.32 a hard pill for
everyone connected with the institution to
swallow.
Currently circulating on the campus are
rumors of anonymous phone calls, and other

communications that are stirring the populace with the idea that another panty raid is
prevalent in the near future. Perhaps if
those who are involved, or supposed to he
involved, can pause for a moment and look
past their noses into the consequences of
such an act. If they can, the whole matter
will quietly he dropped.
Let us pause and view the implications,
based on reports of the scandal of 1952:
1. Tlie raid would not be limited to the
group. Here the principles
one
of mob violence take over, and attract all
types of people from all over town.
2. People from outside the University
would certainly not have any respect for
ng

anything connected with it. Therefore damages would be much greater than usual.
It is not the planners who take the rap.
After the last raid, even though there was
disciplinary action taken against 19 students,
s
were never caught.
the
4. Physical injuries were numerous in the
chaos which occurred in 192. One housemother had to take a leave of absence.
5. The University's prestige has been built
to a peak this year by such things as its
Leadership Conference and the fact that its
fraternities made the highest average of any
campus in the nation last semester. This
could all be destroyed in a single night by
such an obnoxious, immature occurrence as
a panty raid.
6. Finally, taking all of these things into
account, the administration has announced
that anyone caught participating will Ik expelled.
Summing up these different reasons, an
appeal is made to the student. Should he
incite a mob to fanatical violence, cause a
good deal of monetary waste, take the rap
for someone else, perhaps cause physical inring-leader-

jury to someone, ruin his university's prestige, and get himself thrown out of school
all for a pair of frilly panties?

Almost Perfect

Although several phases of the inaugural
UK Leadership Conference held last week
event
left much to be desired, the three-dasuccessful.
certainly deserves to be termed
It is almost impossible to start off some
major undertaking such as a Leadership
Conference without hitting a few snags. The
SO delegates to the initial meeting of UK
campus leaders, however, proved that the
idea is both feasible and workable.
Several campus problems were ironed out,
there were some excellent ideas and suggestions produced, and good leaders were
given points on how to be better leaders.
hinPerhaps one of the most talked-o- f
drances to a completely successful conference was the cold weather. Delegates agreed
that it was. difficult at best to concentrate on
" leadership sessions in the chill October
y

weather.
This obstruction could be avoided next
year if the conference were moved up two

or three weeks. Less than a month ago

stu-

s
warmth
dents were enjoying the
of Indian Summer.
Another difficulty encountered was that
there was too much general problem solving
and not enough handling of individual
troubles. There should be a balance of the
twe.
Potential leaders, in many cases, were
asked to tackle knotty problems that would
throw even the most experienced of persons
who have already attained leadership positions. The potential leaders should be. given
pointers, not problems.
A few flaws in the initial Leadership Conference only point the way to better ones in
the future. With a few changes, the UK
Leadership Conference crmld be one of the
greatest single factors in campus life each
year. Certainly the success of the first conference points in that direction.

Sad Story
One of the saddest occurrences on campus
has been the steady decline in the prestige
n
of the Miss Kentuckian title. The Miss
contest was originally set up as the
top beauty pageant on campus. It has degenerated to just another minor affair. No
one particularly cares who wins.
What has happened in recent years is hard
to determine. Who's fault it has been cannot easily be answered. Lamp and Cross,
the sponsoring organization, is partly to
v
blame. Their interest in the contest anil the
dance has seemingly slackened. When they
list interest, the the rest of the campus folKen-tuckia-

lowed suit.
A new and better system of queen se lec
tion and a revamped dance is sadly needed.
The dance is not until next semester, so
there is plenty of time for changes to be
made.
For one thing there is a need for more contestants. Last year less than 20 girls were
entered. This is not a large enough group
to select the most beautiful girl on campus.
One answer would be to make all other

beauty queens automatic candidates lor Miss
Kentuckian. This would insure that the
"queen of queens," would be true. In
theory all other queens are subordinate to
Miss Kentuckian. Make it a fact. These
queens would include all those elected during tlie last spring semester as well as the
present fall semester.

Add to this group all the fraternity sweethearts. The fraternities who do not have
sweethearts would elecrthe girl they think
is most outstanding. Tin's would make a representative group of good looking girls.
Have the eliminations start about three
w eeks beforethe dance. An election would
decide the top ten. These girls would be
presented to the student body at the home
basketball game closest to the dance. A
board of judges picked from townspeople
would then choose Mis Kentuckian.

Festival as well as any other beaut)' contest

It is up to him.
It is true that in this country higher education is more popular. Under the pre vailing system almost everybody may go to
college, and many actually do so. Very well. If Mr. and
Mrs. and Miss Fverbody or their parents prefer to extend
their childhood by being "college kids." let them have it! Let
schools, where1 "kids"' may get academithem have super-higcal degrees.
But why make Mr. and Mrs. and Mis Somebody to bo

Why make mature persons do homework like little children?
Why make grownups attend every class, when they can get

Why make fun of fully grown men and women by calling

even grandparents, feel themselves back in kindergarten?

Good Idea
Possibly one of the best suggestions that came out of the
recent Leadership Conference was the one to convert the unused Little Commons building to a student recreation spot.
The' Little Commons at one time served as a dining hall for
UK male students. Closed and empty now, the building has
served no purpose for several years.
Many stuclentshave noticed the yellow frame building
which is situated neaXthe exit of the main entrance to the
University. Possibly only a few have wondered why the structure is not put to
