Sorority representatives were
asked to list the features they
would like built into the new sorority houses on "sorority row" in a
meeting with Frank D. Peterson
Monday.

The University vice president
said that he hopes to be able to
reduce the lists to one workable
plan.
Six sororities paid over $82,000
for a 2' acre site and gave title to
the University. Transactions were
completed Thursday, Oct. 20. The
University will construct at least
five houses on the property at an
estimated cost of $600,000.
The project was approved by the
Board of Trustees in a meeting last
Friday.
The site is an "L" shaped tract
fronting on Columbia Avenue and
running east of the Alpha Delta
Pi Sorority. The base of the "L"
runs north along Boone Alley to
a point near the Chi Omega house
across from the Fine Arts Building. The leg of the "L" extends
east from Boone Alley, parallel to
Columbia.

Sororities sharing the $82,000 are

"don't pay much attention"

By ANN ARERNATHY
Halloween is almost here .and all the witches and
skeletons will be out in honor of the occasion as if we
didn't have enough around the campus anyway. We
thought we'd start the season off by finding out what
everyone though of the way UK students observe the
event. How does the college crew react to Halloween
that is, are the students interested or disinterested, and
how does it differ from high school?
Chris Boswell "I don't think they pay much attention
to it. In high school we played silly pranks, but up here

it's Just another' day."

you attempt to add a few more sticks to the uncontrollable fire of militarism and
wjth your parsimonious pen. Where did your inspiration originate from a resolution passed unanimously at a recent American Legion Convention?

In the recent issue of the Kernel, there appeared
an editorial concerning the abolishment of formal
serenades. We would like an opportunity to
the student body on the serenade issue.
The Social Committee of the University did not
approve of the scheduling of serenades .as they
are, due to the fact that four or five were scheduled
for the same night. The dorms were disturlxd at
all hours by the return of the serenaders. Many
problems were the result of the present system.
The problem was discussed by lxith Panhellinic
and IFC, and a committee was appointed to work
out a solution.
At the first Social Committee meeting this fall,
the motion was made by Charles English, president
of IFC, and seconded by Sharon Miller, president
of Panhellenic. that "serenades only Ik held for
pinnings and special occasions, at the discretion of
the fraternities and sororities. Only those serenades
to extend beyond 10:30 p.m. would have to lie
scheduled through the office of the Social Director.""

look to you, representatives of tht student body,
as one of our few means of communication,- not

only to support us when we have
to lash out at the trespassers with a .ihaq tongue.
The college' campus is supposed to be a stronghold for individualism and the c":?ege newspaper
its strongest advocate. Yet here a Kentucky rules

(Editors note: The idea for this editorial teas

This weekend is always one of the highlights of
the college year. To the student its a grand party,
a legitimate chance to forget the Ixxiks and enjoy
two days of uninterrupted fun.
In a sense Homecoming is the same for the alum.
He sees old friends for the first time in years, re
visits his fraternity house, and for a few hours
relives those years in which he grew into manhood.
Hut for the alum it is usually a bittersweet experience. He driits away from the crowd tor a little
while and wanders across the campus ly himself
looking at the old buildings where he went to class
and at the new ones which have been built since
lie left school.
He remembers the hopes, and the dreams of his
youth. Perhaps he is unhappy because he has lost
some of his idealism.
Hut very tew, either students or alums, rememler
the forgotten man at Homecoming the Kentuckian
who died in World War II or the Korean War.
This is the man to whom Homecoming should be
dedicated. It is he who gave it to us.
Of course the whole weekend should not be
devoted to unhappy memories. The war dead
would certainly not want this. But it would be appropriate for every student and alum during the
e
prayer for world peace and the playing
of the "Star Spangled Banner" to humbly thank
those who sacrificed their lives for the privilege
that has been given us of living in a free country.
In this manner this homecoming will not only be
one for ourselves but also for the "more than nine
thousand sons and daughters of the state of Ken
tucky who gave their lives in battle that we might
live in peace erect and strong and free."

Regardless of party affiliation, UK students who
are registered voters should not fail to cast their
ballpts in the forthcoming election. Absentee ballots may be obtained from officers of the Young
Democrats or Young Republicans Clubs.

The Kentucky Kernel is the students' newspaper.
Any student, regardless of writing ability, is welcome to turn in news items to the Kernel. Many
organizations bac their own reporters. Why not
get them to turn in club news to the Kernel each
week?

of the highlights of college life, but to improve 'the

This will be accomplished, by a more liberal serenading program in which there will be less difficulty of scheduling and participating in a serenade. The overall effect of this will result in more

College Night

Loan Fund
(Editors note: This editorial was submitted by
John A. Glover.)
Not all college students are able to bear the expenses of college without outside help. The UK
loan fund is one excellent source of help for some

students.
Operating as a service for the students, the loan
fund's purpose is to help those deserving students
who meet a financial crisis which might compel
them to drop out of school. On the less extreme
side, a small loan helps supplement part-timwork,
thus leaving more time for the student to studv.
Students are charged 4 pe r cent interest on loans
anil the student may set the period for which he1
wants to borrow. Almost any student is eligible
e

for loans, but of course the money received from a
loan must be for uses conneeted with ed';cat;o:i.
( )h ion-lthe loan fund was not meant to in ip a
student bu a ne w car.
According to Dr. (Veil Carpenlir. dean ot College of Commerce, who is in charge ot making the,,
loans, most students are not willing to !orrov as
much money as they often need or could ue. At
prese nt, only about 250 students are using the loan
fund. Loans average about SKH).
The money in the loan fund comes from numerous sources, such as donations, remainders ot diss
funds, gifts, etc. Sinn' PH. a good dial o tin
money has come from p.uking violation-- oi the
campus. At present, there is approximately $lif) )' )
in use by the loan fund. Some of it, about
is loaned out. Another part of it is invested
in government bonels.
The significance of the loan fund doesn't lie in
how much it is, but rather in how much it can
produce in terms of better students. It is one of
several services UK offers the students who are
honestly and sincerely here for education.
