4s" Graduate Beam

i

Dr. Herman E. Spivey, dean of
the Graduate School, Indicated
yesterday he would accept an
administrative position at another
institution.
In a statement, President Frank
G. Dickey said that no formal act- ion had been taken by the Board
of Trustees at either of the schools
that no formal announcement
be made until such action
was taken.
However, neither the president
nor Dean Spivey would say which

s

school was involved.
-

The president added, however,

that the University Is "making

r

preliminary surrey to compile
list ofpersons to be considered for
the Graduate deanship."
Dean Spivey said he was "leav- ing the University not out of dis- contentment of opportunities here,
but because of larger opportunl- tles and responsibilities at the new

institution."

IFC Approves Plan
For Reserve Seating
The Interfraternity Council yes- terday approved a new football
seating plan intended to prevent
another confused situation such as
marked last week's game.
This plan calls for a return to
last year's "first come, first served"
arrangement in Section A,
and C with restriction that stu- dents must at least sit in the
section noted on their tickets.

* Our Appalling Apathy

A NEW DEVELOPMENT
AMONG OUR COLLEGES:
Despite all the optimistic prattle we
have heard from supposed campus
leaders about the success of this or
that student event, there is wafting
through the air an appalling and stifling atmosphere which leads some to
conclude the University of Kentucky is
dead.
We refer mainly to the failure of
students to participate in campus
events and the wave of apathy that is
inundating UK.
For example, the year began with a
Student Congress election that, for the
most part, held the interest for only
the .campus' part-timpoliticians.
Later, the congress was leadcrless
when the president was ineligible and
the vice president resigned. It is getting back on its feet, but barely.
Lances Carnival, once an event that
was alive and overflowing with exuberance, did not approach in any reasonable amount of proximity the prosperity of past carnivals. Although it
was termed a success, most of the fra
ternities and sororities did not participate in it fully and neither attended it en masse. The carnival had lost
most of its original luster and freshe

ness.

The UK Leadership Conference, although ideally a medium to impart
leadership to students, was lacking in

leadership itself, was dominated by
leaders rather than potential leaders,
and was wounded critically with
apathy.

The Interfraternity Council later
decided that fraternities would not be
required to build displays at Homecoming festivities. Although we are
at a loss to explain the practicality of
this, nevertheless it was a deadly slash
at tradition, something already suffering here. All we could hear was,
"Well, it wasn't important anyway."
Also the fact that the football team
has won only one game hasn't helped.
We have noticed in collegiate newspapers, which come to the office from
all over the country, that apathy and
the
about school is prevalent. UK alone
doesn't stick out as the rotten apple
of the nation's colleges.
"Don't-give-a-damn-

attitude

"

Apathy, of course, does not merely
adhere to student affairs as Lances
Canival and Student Congress. It has
been noticeable in the classroom. The
fact that fraternity test files exist and
many professors give the same test
semester after semester attests to this.
Why, too, does cheating remain and
why is it respected?
We are not attempting to exaggerate and aver that the University is

the most apathetic school in the nation, South, or state. It docs not take
too much effort to find the same atmosphere on other colleges campuses.
It neither requires much observation
to see that UK students in general, do
not have the enthusiasm, thirst for
knowledge, and respect for their
school that some other universities
have.
Why, we ask? What arid whom can
the blame be placed on? We honestly
don't know.
One student said the UK administration maintains such a tight grip on
the faculty and student body that
both have adopted the attitude of
"What's the use?" and are similar to
a neurotic. Another made the remark
that the new academic standards have
drove the student behind the doors
of his room where he has had to delve
in his studies. Still another said UK
has long lacked traditions which
would standardize the university atmosphere to one of intellectual curio- -

Whether it is participation in student affairs or apathy about education, the University, like most colleges
of its type, is wading a deep and wide
swamp.
Currentlythe quicksand of apathy
is threatening.

Dear Mr. Smith:

"

The thought that you may, at this

white knuckles against your
pillow led me to write this

you. I could say that your letter
was a perfect example of fallacious,

you misconstrued a simple poem, you
certainly couldn't understand what I

meant by that.
I thought my letter would be

Come now, George, do you really
think that anyone could be so
as to blasphme a UK athletic organization?
(translated to
your understanding George, "could
anyone be so bad as to say something
mean against any athletes?")
It is very considerate of your club
to honor me Friday; it's like Eisenhower (he's our president, George)
being honored by the Boy Scouts.
But I would rather be stretched on
the rack than say anything derogatory
about the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts,
Spiked Shoe Society, or Squirrel Club.
Clubs there have always been, and
the world needs runners. So stay
united, boys, and keep running. . . .

Adoption of this plan would increase enrollment. Increased enrollment would require more dormitories,
classrooms, and possibly, even professors.

A good slogan would te needed.

fight to preserve the difference between the ladies and gentlemen at
least to the extent of adding a single

We feel that the privilege of having
reserved seats at football games should
be enjoyed by A.S.M.E. members as
well as the groups of McClain
Stadium's Section B.
Excluding the personal conveniences associated with having a reserved seat we need not remind you
of moral inspiration that is instilled
in people at social events when they
are allowed to sit in the familiar surroundings of their colleagues. This
idea of moral inspiration is one of the
basic issues with which the social
received their private

The members of this committee
feel that the justice associated with a

democracy warrants all efforts for
equal rights and privileges for all persons of this community, however, our

More About Seats
To The Editor:
Why people are making such a fuss
over the new seating arrangements
for fraternities at football games is
highly incomprehensible. This action
has raised such a furofc and has become so controversial, that the Kernel
has had to devote more space to it
than it normally should warrant.
As everyone knows, the Law School

also requested a special section and
got it. If there is a group that has
been discriminated against, it was
unintentional. Such groups, even, the

sterling engineers, could have made
a similar request and gotten similar
results.
Personally, I think all numbered
tickets should be disregarded and that
the seating in Sections A and C should
be on the "first come" basis. But why
such uproar should result from the
fact that a section of mediocre location is, in a sense, reserved is dilfi-cu-

Engineers Want Seats
To The Editor:
On Tuesday, Oct. 20, the weekly
meeting of the A.S.M.E. was held.
During this meeting of some 250
mechanical engineering students, the
motion was made that a committee
be appointed to procure reserved seats
for A.S.M.E. members at home foot-bagames. This motion was seconded
and unanimously passed by the assembly and a committee to execute
this motion.
The ultimate goal or this committee is equality among all members
of A.S.M.E. and members of other
groups of the University community.
In this existing university democracy,
we feel that no group should be denied privileges that have already been
granted others. The facilities of this
University are intended to be equally
available to each and every full time
student. It is the desire of this com

mittee to exercise the privileges associated with a democracy and obtain these rights for the A.S.M.E.

This committee intends to obtain
the right of reserved seats for A.E.M.E.
student members at home football
games by placing a proposal to that
effect before Student Congress of this
democratic university community.

Your fight, oh fellow independents,
is not with Student Congress or with
fraternities; it is with the people who
force you to observe the numbered

most of those who are voicing
just want a little attention.
Congratulations, you've gotten it.
