now expected to begin in March.
'Revised plans for the structure are
expected to be ready by then, and

Construction is expected to take

Construction of from one to eight
fraternity houses was authorized by
the University Board of Trustees at
its September meeting. Under a plan
announced at that time the cost of
the buildings, approximately $110,- '

be defrayed by
revenue bonds to be amort i7ert over
a period of 30 years.
'

A loan of $1,400,000 has been ap- proved by the Federal Government
for construction of the men's dorml- tory, and the Kentucky Property and
Buildings Commission has allocated
an additional $500,000 for the struc- ture. The dormitory is expected to
accommodate 365 students and pro- vide dining facilities for 1.200.
The new fraternity houses will be
leased to individual fraternities after
their completion. Rent paid by the
fraternities is expected to be sufficient to pay interest on the bonds,
liquidate the debt, pay insurance,
and maintain the buildings. Fraternities will not have to pay taxes
on the houses because they w ill be- long to the Lniversity.

SGA Acts Wisely In Choice
To Appeal Ruling For IFC
The Student Government Asstxiation acted wisely in their decision to hack the Interfraternity Council and make an appeal to the University Faculty
concerning a rule passed last spring requiring fraternities tf make a 1.3 standing.
This rule has seemed unfair to us all along localise it penalizes a fraternity man for being a
student has only to
fraternity man. A
good standing, but a Greek
make a 1.0 to remain in
must make a 1.3 to remain in good standing with
the University through his fraternity.
Hules passed last April by the Faculty stated that
fraternities and sororities not making an average
standing of 1.3 this school year would be placed
on social probation. This would prevent fraternities from holding any social event to which other
than members are invited.
If, during a year of probation, a fraternity or sorority again fails to make the specified standing, it
shall be prohibited from further pledging and initiation, and lie called upon to show cause why its
charter should not Ik? revoked.
The maximum numlxT of social events for any
fraternity or sorority during a school year is ten,
exclusive of rush parties. At the descretion of Dean
Kirwan and Dean Holmes, these same requirements
and penalties may lx. applied to any campus organization. And so, while this nile is an immediate
problem of fraternities, all organizations should be
concerned with it.
The most nonsensical of the rules was the statement that if at anv time it lxcame evident the all- k

Graduates Face
Turbulent World
To you, members of the winter graduating class
we dedicate this
of nineteen hundred
editorial and say farewell to our friends and classmates.
A senior, to an undergraduate and in fact to most
persons who are not seniors, is a person of accomplishment. To the senior himself, he is an exceedingly humble being. Kegrets for opportunities
which were muffed during their college careers are
more apt to fill their minds than pride in things
which they liave achieved.
Graduating seniors will Ix? going out into an unpredictable and confused world. In these days of
prosperity numerous jobs can be found, but the
outlook on life by today's youth is a pessimistic
one. The Korean business is the dominant fact in
their lives. Should a boy get a job? Should a girl
marry? Questions like this cannot be answered.
Although the outlook of a senior is not very
promising in this age of confusion, it is a problem
that must be faced. As much as seniors may think
they have done for the University during their stay
Jtere, tliey have only
They can classify UK
among those 'excellent and successful schools or
as a place where four years can he wasted.
To you, the graduating class, we can only say
good luck and may God bless you all. Your work
at the University is completed, and now new experiences lie before you. You will find the outside
world strangely different from school, and only
gradually will, you become accustomed to the
changed environment.
According to an ancient proverb, life is composed
of two parts: that which is past a dream; and that
which is to come a wish. You are between the
two.

men's average has changed significantly, the University Faculty may alter the grade requirement for
fraternities on recommendation of the two deans.
If this rule was strictly enforced, then, theoretically, fraternities would end up lxing required to
make a 2.0 or more standing. For example, if fraternities made a 1.3 this year, it would raise the all
men's average. Fraternity standing requirements
would then be raised. Then if fraternities made the
new standing, up goes the all men's average again
and also fraternities' requirements.
Dean Kirwan told SGA Monday night that the
University Faculty did not pass such rules just for
the sake of passing rules. lie said the Ipw scholarship of fraternities came to be a University problem
pnd something had to he done because of adverse
criticism throughout the state.
We agree with the dean that fraternities cannot
be let alone and allowed to go to the dogs scholas-ticallbut fraternities should not be required to
make a 1.3 standing when the University whole
scholastic system, including graduation, is based on
a 1.0 standing.
Don Richardson, vice president of IFC, told the
Assembly that IFC had already taken steps to raise
fraternities' standing before the faculty ruling came
out. lie reported I FC now requires pledges to have
a 1.2 to be initiated. The new formal rush system
started this fall and changes in intramural schedule
give fraternities more time than formerly for studying, he said.
Dean Kirwan agrees that it would be better if
IFC could solve the matter, but he fears that next
year's IFC, which will be composed of new members, might not carry on the plans laid down by
this year's council.
The Interfraternity Council resents the Faculty's
actions because IFC had already set about to.
remedy the situation themselves, and their changes
were not given a chance to prove themselves.
We believe the University Faculty will be acting
wisely if they repeal or suspend the rule they passed
last spring and give IFC a chance to solve their
own problem.

achievement was his satire on housemothers which

Schedule Explained
Concerning Concert
Several complaints have come to us from students
concerning the scheduling of the Boston Props concert on Feb. 2 when most students will be home for
vacation. They could not understand why "the best concert of the year" has been
scheduled when they could not see it.
Neither the University or the Central Kentucky
Community Concert Association had anything to
do with the scheduling, as most students think. The
Boston Pops, who will Ix? in Louisville Feb. I, are
on tour in this area and had to be scheduled here
on Feb. 2, or not at all.
AH parties appearing in the concert and lecture
series are selected by a committee composed of
University faculty members and Lexingtonians, but
dates are set in New York. This makes it possible
for 'artists to make several appearances in the area
assigned them.
All talent travels in a prescribed area each season.
This is especially true of large groups like the Boston Pops. The artists committee felt, in spite of
the holiday between semesters, such a large number
of UK students live nearby that they could return
to bear this famous group.

Why is "Oh Happy Day" the
around here lately?
Someone has suggested it's the ironical combination of cheerful words (oh happy day, oh lucky
me!) with mournful, plodding music.
Very possible. You get to feeling that way this
time of semester.

When taking tests, especially essay types, students should write as much as possible. Although
some instructors will not admit it, many of them
grade subjectively, and that additional information
may add to your grade. Grammar and spelling are
very important to watch in taking a test.
In grading, we suggest the instructor take into
full consideration the manner in which he has conducted the class, the amount of time he has put
into it, and the extent to which he has seemed to
put over his ideas to the students.
The perteet system of grading would be to have
the professor grade himself after he had taken his
own examination on the aforementioned questions.
If he does not pass it satisfactorily, he should not
expect the impossible from his students.
Students frequently leaf back through their semester's work and find it wanting. They find they
must compile the task of an entire semester within
a few days. An almost impossible feat, it is seldom
successful and always extremely difficult.
Since it is too late to look to the past, resolve to
avoid repetition of the same mistake in the future.
Take the next semester in stride, keeping abreast
of responsibilities. And at its close you can review
with satisfaction the weeks gone by and face the
prospect of finals with assurance. Nothing is more
than the knowledge of work well
done.

Once again "the last round-up- "
eds and coeds are putting away their parties and
good times this weekend to concentrate on their
studies. Exam time has covered the campus like
a wet blanket, bringing blues to the party boys and
smiles on the lips of the "key twirlers."
Some will ratipnalize with thoughts of "he can't
flunk me" or "exams don't really count much." Others will drown their sorrows in a nearby tavena.
The sensible few will have been keeping up in their
lessons all along. But the majority will stay in over
the weekend and cram like mad.
One of the worst aspects about finals is that many
students worry so much about whether they can
pass them or not, they never find time to actually
study. If some students would put the time in
studying that they put in devising ways to cheat,
they might make bett erf grades.
' Most
instructors are wise to the rious cheating
methods, and students "are taking a big chance if
they attempt to 'elieat. Students should not depend
on examination files. Professors realize their old
tests are floating around and change their exams
accordingly.
Students should not study together. Mass study
sessions usually end up in bull sessions or around a
card table. Memory crutches can be successfully
used if not used excessively.
Do not attempt to
memorize a lxok word for word, but just get a general concept of the course.
