The annual beauty pageant be- gan with the presentation of the
20 girls who had been chosen
through a talent elimination last
Tuesday. This is the first time a
preliminary talent show has been
a part of the contest.

Ten of the 20 girls were
chosen for the semifinals. These
girls were asked a semiserious
question by Ray Turley, master
of ceremonies.
The judges then chase the five
finalists on the basis of poise,
personality, beauty and appearance. The five girls then had a
private talk with the Judges before the final decision.

Derby Day Is Part
Of Kentucky Tradition

Kernel Staff Writer
A special kind of spring fever
grips Kentucky on the first Saturday in May.
All roads lead past lush farms
of bluegrass to Louisville and colorful Churchill Downs.
Motorists peer out of windows
across white board fences and
stone walls to watch playful colts
romping in a nearby pasture. They
play on fields where racing greats
have frolicked for nearly two centuries.
Rich green pastures and limestone water help develop the
strength, stamina, and speed necessary to carry one of these frisky

In the distance, the picturesque
twin spires of Churchill Downs
pierce upward : In the sky. They
stand like silent memorials to
Kentucky-bre- d

Before the tumult and the shouting ever begins, all pause and
think of Whirlaway,

Twenty Grand, Man o" War, Gallant Fox, Pensive, Ponder, Bull

field is a labyrinth of multi-hue- d
flower beds and shrubs and
trees bursting with springtime blossoms.
The winner's circle is a giant
horseshoe of red roses, where each
year's winner is brought for a
moment of glory.
Shirt-sleeve- d
humanity threatens to overliow the infield and
spill out onto the track. People
equipped with bright umbrellas,
camp stools, and picnic baskets
have been there since dawn. The
women show off their zaniest
spring hats to the thousands.
In the Derby is glamor, distinction, and pride. The pride of the
Derby is most evident in
away from home. On the
first Saturday in May, Kentucki-an- s
think about long- - rifles, mounh,
tain feuds, belles in crinoline,
white-pillarmansions,
bourbon whiskey, and home. And
they think of the Derby.

Influencing

There has leen a definite movement forward in the efforts of Student Congress this year and we have
raised the governing body in the
editorial columns, but its next move
seems far more praiseworthy than
the rest. It most exemplifies the
function of the congress to effectively
represent the student body.
Next Monday the group will select
three candidates for each office and
election
slate them for a campus-wid- e

May
The congress and the University
Faculty, for the first time in two
years, approved a motion to set aside
the constitution and open the election of officers to the campus. What
better way could the top governing
body on campus best reflect the needs
of its students by allowing them to

elect their own leaders?
Agreed there has been the establishment of the Washington Seminar, International Student Center,
and the future publication of a book
on current events, but none of these
will really effect the "common" studentthe ones who are not participants in the seminar or international
center or who don't wish to spend a
friendly evening at the center.
Student Congress also should appeal to the good of the entire student body in some of its projects.
It also could aid the majority of students right here on campus.
Although the election could not
be called a project, this is a chance
for every UK student to influence
its governing body and a chance for
the student government to evaluate
its own program for the coming year.

Let's Keep Splinter Hall
By JOE MILLS
Editorial Staff Writer
It's called "Splinter Hall." Of
course that's not its st,al name, but
I think this one is more appropriate.
Most students agree that it's an
and a rickety
eyesore, a
old shack. But then, it has its merits,
too.
First, look at the general appearance of the building. Consider it as
a giant bulletin board and look at the
possibilities for space. We have to
put the queen posters somewhere!
Also, it reminds one of an army
barracks if you look again. What else
could be done to make returning
veterans or reservists feel more at
home?
Then if a student happens to fall
asleep during a dull lecture, the instructor need not worry. Any gentle
breeze will start the building to
swaying and it never fails to awaken
the student.
In case our bored friend is a country boy and likes to whittle, he has
no trouble finding loose boards upon

which to practice his art.
So, perhaps it would be good if
"Splinter Hall" remains forever. It
would need occasional repair since
thumbtack holes would make it quite
airy, and whittlers would slowly deplete the framework.
Most termites are in favor of keeping "Splinter Hall." They remember
how good class buildings used to
taste.

Kernels
There is a trend in this country toward an undue concentration of power, toward an overextension of government and toward a socialistic state.
It is the duty of every citizen to
understand this as fully as he can, to
oppose the trend where it can do
harm, without impeding the proper
and necessary functioning of government in a modern world. Dr.
Van-nev- ar

Bu&h.

It is change, not love, that makes
the world go around; love only keeps
it populated. Charles II. Droiccr.

Student Says 'School Spirit' Is Outdated

(Editor's Note: The Kernel recently
editorialized on the following article
which appeared in the Tulane Hullabaloo. We do not believe the writer
speaks for our generation, yet we
believe Kernel readers should have
the opportunity to judge for themselves.)
By ROBERT CLARK
The Tulane Hullabaloo
Ours is the generation of sick,
painful despair; the generation of

dreamers and frustrated
moralists; the generation of pathetic
and cynical political extremists. You, my fellow college students, and I are best at every turn
with the pain of misery contrasted
with misallocated wealth; with
from the Right and from the
Left for our allegiance; with untold
pressures even our very parents never
imagined; with doubts even as to our
own ability to crawl through an
life span. In such an environment, it is not surprising that
the majority of our class rebels in
disgust from the disillusionment that
is the outside world.
The college man of 1962 can not
be a happy individual and still look
hollow-eye-

d

exor-tatio-

about him with reality in his vision.
The overwhelming majority of our
group will choose not to look; the
exception will choose not to be happy.
The alternatives are not cheery; but
they are real. The exception has looked and has not been repelled; he has
made his choice as intelligently as
possible. The majority, even though
their choice be an ignorant one, are
firmly set in their contented ways
and will not be lifted from their
lethargy for any motives worthier
than those found in a bottle.
Oppressed as we are by what
are undoubtedly the greatest psychological pressures ever felt by a generation of man, how in God's name
can we lie expected to feel, deeply
.and with sincerity, an emotion which
belongs to an earlier, a happier generation "school spirit." The average
Tulane man has heard the same patter
for year upon year "What this school
needs is more school spirit, moie
traditions, etc." ad nauscum. And I
do mean nauscum.
To those few individuals who
seek security in some group manifestations of spirit, I ask that you
please leave us alone. We do not

want spirit; we do not need spirit;
we wouldn't know what to do with
spirit if we had it. We are not a
spirit-fillegeneration. The majority
of us rejects spirit as "Mickey Mouse,"
as something which is nice for the
"masses" but not for us. The exception sadly glances at spirit and,
places it aside with all the
other exhibitions of mania in this
serewed-u- p
world.
"School spirit" is an outdated doctrine left over from a period when
college students worried more over
the Big Game than over the future of
mankind. It has no place in the mod--er- n
world; I say leave it in the world
which spawned it. Most of us withdraw from the idea itself. A few of
us look wishfully at spirit, but then
cast it reluctantly aside and set out
impatiently to rebuild the shambles
of the world left by the generation
which reverred such trivia as "school
spirit."
This, whether we like it or not,
is the true picture of "spirit," at Tulane or at Podunk U. Acceptance of
"spirit" is being pushed upon a reluctant audience by a few misinformed
who are living in the past
d

and who feel insecure for lack of con
pany. I, for one, am not prepared to
supply them with companionship. 1
am reluctant to associate with neurotics.
This is 1962. Mankind possesses
the ability to wipe himself off the
face of the earth. Today's college student is faced with a world of questioning, of challenge, mostly of discouragement. Today's college student
is mature beyond his. years, made so
by a mentally cruel environment.
What little spirit we do have is so
valuable that it shouldn't be wasted
on something that can't use it, that
probably doesn't want it.
This is a pessimistic viewpoint.
We are a pessimistic generation; and
for this, we should not apologize. But
we are fooling ourselves to think that
we will ever be able, to sing "Boll,
Green Wave" with a lump in our
throat. Those days are gone; let them
die a respectful death. Let us learn
to live with our new challenges. We
are the first of an endlesT series of
crucial generations. If we do not leajn
to sing "Roll, Green Wave" and keep
it in its proper perspective, we could
very well be the last.

The most important principle

Liberalism tries to solve our

conservative hopes to preserve and

adequacy of the individual, the
strength of free enterprise, cut- ting government spending to assure a sound economy, giving aid

not cover the centers.
