An IBM computer is to be re

A Chance To Help

cow-eye-

drive for
The University of Kentucky's annual
the World University Service will end officially Sunday. The
goal this year is the same as it was last year: $1,000. With
more than S,0(K) students enrolled at the University, that goal
would he met if each student contributed a few cents. A little
more than a dime each would put the drive over the top.
Miss Connie Goldberg who is chairman of the drive tells
us that during the past few years UK has failed to reach the
goal that has been set. Present contributions indicate that
unless something unusual happens the goal will not be
reached this year either.
One thousand dollars is not a very large sum of money
for thousands of students to raise. A small contribution from
each of us would do it. But the question is, do we want to
do it? Is this a worthy organization? Let us see.
WUS was started after World War I. Since that time, it
has helped students in countries all over the world, including
Germany, Austria, Greece, Japan, Spain, Finland, Foland,
Switzerland and many others.
printThis aid has been in the form of
ing equipment, health clinics, medical centers, housing, and
vastly important understanding.
WUS will grant scholarships amounting to one
In 1957-5million dollars to Hungarian refugee students in this country.
in cash subsidies will be distributed.
Another quarter-millioMany more, thousands of dollars will be spent in Europe,
Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the United
States.
These are a few of the things WUS is doing.
In view of the world situation today, these programs are
of incalculable value. There are few loftier motives than that
of helping in any way possible to prepare people for leadership in the world of tomorrow. The students of the world will
be these leaders arid we have a chance to help them now.
There is a barrel in the Student Union Building where contributions can be placed. This barrel will also be near the entrance of the football stadium when UK plays Xavier this
weekend. The opportunity to help is present.
We must find the desire to do so in our own hearts.

What happened to the star who was supposed to be at the

this question the Kernel was presented with a
the answer to
typewritten statement signed by Capt. Bruce A. Bn'ghani, advisor to the Pershing Rilles. It reads as lollows:
'"The PR's wish to apologic to the students on the campus
for the mistake we made regarding the name ol the singer at
the Coronation Ball.
"We' sincerely appreciate the cooperative and sympathetic
spirit with which the students accepted the announcement
Saturday night."
Only this.
In the flurry of rumors that followed the dance some people got. the impression that, soinehowJthe Kernel, was to
blame for the misrepresentation. It is true that we printed

reason tor Brigham's failure to elaborate.
Since the performer who did show up apparently rendered
a satisfactory performance, the Coronation Ball was not a flop..

Students' Party Chairman Explains Functions Of SGA
By DAN MILLOTT
early days of orientation

During the
this year the new
student at UK heard many references to SGA or the
Student Government Association. Though explanations
were given on this subject, there were also numerous
other lengthy discussions and orations on a large group
of varying subjects and, in this instance, the real meaning
of SGA becomes lost.
The Student Government Association was founded in
1939 and has operated continuously since that time. Its
function is to be a representative and responsible legislative authority. It acts on matters which directly effect
the daily lives of a vast majority of the students while
they are an active part of the university community.
To the students, SGA should be something through
which the opinion of the students is heard. It exists as
the only organization on campus which Is designed expressly for that purpose.
The structure of the organlution is quite simple. All
the representatives as well as the president and
are elected for term of one year in an
election. Elections are held twice a year. Tea
vice-presid-

ent

all-cam- pu

representatives are elected early in December while the
and twenty representatives are
president,
selected in early May. The Student Government Association holds its meetings every other Monday at 7 p.m. in
room 128 of the Student Union Building. All of the students are urged to attend SGA meetings when they are
vice-preside-

able to do so.
The organization functions somewhat like any other
democratic governing body. Its powers are by no means
absolute, but it would be wrong to say that SGA is purely
a recommending body. The governing group uses the
committee system to a large measure. The most important
committee is the Judiciary committee.
This group, appointed by the president of SGA, settles many of the disciplinary questions' which arise from
time to time. The Judiciary committee also settles .special
cases when certain freshmen and sophomores request permission to have cars at school.
The Student Government Association handles the registration of automobiles as well as the collection of parking fines. The organization also handles the sale of parking permits. The task of regulating automobiles requires

the employment of a full time secretary who is paid by
SGA funds. This will give you some idea of the magni-

tude of this' program of automobile registration.
The operations of SGA are not limited to automobile
registration alone. The governing body also publishes the
student directory which contains the phone numbers and
addresses of all the students.
The entire student body is an integral part of SGA.
When' each student pays his registration fee, fifty cents
goes into the Student Government treasury. ThLs enables
the organization to perform numerous services for its
membership-Mhstudents of the University of Kentucky.
I have tried to show some of the highlights of the
functions of your SGA. There are many others too numerous to mention, but each of them is quite significant
in relation to the daily lives of the student body. The
goal of SGA is to bring progressive government to our
campus. Learn more about your SOA by attending meetings. It is your SGA and it is your privilege and duty to
take part in its deliberations.
Good government requires the wholehearted support
of all its constituents.
