therefore the code failed.
Student Bar President Mitch
McConnell, a senior who could
not vote but a proponent of the
code, said lie felt the vote indicated a "fairly large majority"
of the students favored the code
and that another vote may be
considered later.
Lou Johnson, a member of the
committee that drafted the code,
said in view of the vote perhaps
the 51 percent rule should have
been waived.
Johnson was both surprised
and disappointed: surprised in
the lack of antagonism among
the students over the code and
disappointed because it failed.
Johnson speculated that the

What Roles

What pattern of living is appropriate for the modern woman
was the question asked at the
opening lecture Thursday in the
series on the Emerging Role of
Contemporary Women.
Mrs. Celia K. Zyzniewski, assistant to the dean of women,
contends that is it a plural role.
Dr. James W. Gladden, professor of sociology, believes this
to be a multiple role. Dr. Gladden, whose particular field is the
family and religion, said "This is

The sound of gunfire fills the room and becomes increasingly
resonant with each step past the doorway. On a white line drawn
across the floor are two young coeds, rigidly posed as if anticipat

ing action.

Could this he a T.V. set?
Perhaps. Hut only if the situation were reversal. Described
here is the best indoor rifle range
in Kentucky, according to Maj.
Bruce Martin of the Military
Science Department.
On the white line arc two
members of the Women's Rifle
Team aiming expertly at the small
targets placed 50 feet across the
room.

Loretta Haggard, a junior
from Lexington, is captain of the
team. This tall thin blond figure
seems almost incongruous with
the gray surroundings and the
heavy 15 lb., 22 caliber target
rifle she uses.
However, on second glance,
it is evident that Loretta is quite
at ease in her surroundings.
Standing almost as if in a trance
she fires several shots. The re- -

suits arc rew arding to the shooter
and awing to the observer. Every
bullet hit either on the bull's
eye or w as only a fraction of an
inch off target.
Next to the captain is Nancy
Redmond, a junior from
Demonstrating a difficult sitting position Nancy uses
an arm strap to steady the rifle.
Upon firing the observer notes
that she too is no amateur.
The sitting position is new to
these women, explained Maj.
Martin. They w ere practicing this
position for use in the Derby
City Open Meet in Louisville,
last Saturday, which they won.
"For this meet the coeds had
to demonstrate four positioas.
They plan to use the standing,
kneeling, prone (lying on the
stomach), and the sitting position," he added.

Loretta demonstrates the
kneeling position using an arm
strap to steady the rifle. "The
slightest movement can cause the
bullet to go off target," the Major explained. "There is much involved in learning to be a good
shooter."
"Breath control is very important, and even the beating
of the pulse can cause the bullet to sway."
Such' complexities explain the
padded jackets and combat boots
worn by the women dispite the
warm temperature of the room.
"The padding in the jackets protect the shoulder from the impact when the gun is fired, and
the rubber patches on the elbows preventing the arm from
slipping off the knee inthekneel-in- g

"The combat boots are worn to
aid in balancing," he added.

man, he seems to enjoy this
work. Grinning, Sgt. Fennell tells
the women to explain why they
are really interested in the rifle
team. "Could it be the men who
help instruct them," he quer-ried.

"Well, blushed Nancy, that is

three teammates: Margaret Den-haa junior from Lexington;
Becky Gardner, a freshman from
Ashland; and Babs Heiniche, a
junior from Miami. Together they
have already won several honors
this year.
In October the coeds competed in the Murray State University Invational and won first
place. On Nov. IS and 19, the
team placed seventh out of 13
entries in the Kentucky Indoor
Invatitional Meet here. Theirs
was the only women's team in
the competition.
Previous records for this team
are similar. Last year Loretta won
third place in the nation in the
conventional sectionals competition.
"On Feb. 24 and 25, we will
hold part of the National Rifle
Association sectionals' Spring
meet Here," Maj. Martin said.

The locations for the other sectional competitions have not yet
been decided.
"Next December we want to
go to Kansas for the Kansas
Turkey Shoot Competition. This
is the largest college meet in
the country," he said.
"However, this competition
is dependent on the amount of
school support we have. At this
time we arc not sure what our
budget will be for next year,"
the major said.
"We would like to have more
women on the team," said the
major. "The problem seems to
be that not enough coeds want
to spend the time required to
become a good shooter. At the
mement we have some women
who are better shooters than some
of the men on the men's rifle
team," Maj. Martin remarked,
but we still would like to see
more coeds become interested."

Disappointed By Single Swingers?
They'll Play Twice To Make It Up
If you were disappointed when the Single Swingers Band didn't
perform Saturday night at a planned jam session, you may find
consolation in two free sessions the band will play in return.
Due to a member of the band being hurt in an accident, and
a guitar amplifier blowing up, the Single Swingers were unable
to play for the Student Center sponsored jam session.
Gene Snyder, the band's agent, has signed a contract with the
Student Center Board to play for free at a jam session from 2 to
5 p.m. Feb. 17, and again from 2 to 5 p.m. Feb. 23.
Both Robert Walker, Student Center Board president, and
Snyder, have apologized for the incident.

Student Center Board Sponsoring Baliamas Trip

As the birds head south for
the winter months so do college
students everywhere flock to
warm
climates and balmy
beaches during spring vacation.
Leaving behind them the
books, the bleak northern skies,
and the chilly campus, their
destination is a week of sun,
surf, sand, booze, people, and
parties.
The special events committee

.

of the Student Center Board is
sponsoring a Bahama vacation
the week of March 11 to 19
(spring vacation) after an idea
conjured up at Indiana Univer-

to take the vacationers from Lexington to Freeport. To start the
festive mood guests will receive
a welcome arrival at the King's
Inn with a rum swizzle cock-

Nights will be bright with
native limbo and fire dance
shows, movies at the beach, and
student Bahamian discotheques.
The deadline for signing up
is Feb. 17 in Boom 201 of the
Student Center at which time
a $75 deposit is required, $25
of which is nonrefundable.
A minimum of 103
persons
must register by Feb. 17 or the
reservations will be dropped. Approximately 20 people have
slwwn interest in the trip to
date, but only one has paid the

tail.
The King's Inn and Golf Club
is one of the Bahama's newest

The accommodations for the
lioliday will be the King's

Shortage Of Tutors

About 100 University students,
along with 40 from Transylvania
College, currently are involved in
helping educate culturally depriv ed
youngsters through the Lexington
Tutorial Program. However, despite the number of students who
already have volunteered their time
to help others, the tutorial program
presently cannot meet its demands
due to a severe tutor shortage.
Brint Milward, chairman of the
tutorial program, said lie could
place 100 students in the program
in a week's time. An additional
100 students will be needed within
the next month and a half.
The program offers a significant opportunity for students to
increase their understanding of the
problems of social and educational
institutions by giving up only two
hours a week of their free time.
Students can volunteer to work with

underprivileged youngsters and perform a worthwhile function while
supplementing their own education
and experience. The tutorial pro
gram gives students the opportunity
to become a part of the social
change process.
In addition to the self satisfaction received by helping youngsters improve their academic
achievement, students in the tutorial program are instni mental in
expanding the relationships between the University and the city
and county. The University, therefore, indirectly performs one of its

1

functions and obligations to the
community of which it is a part.
We encourage students to actively support and participate in
the tutorial program. Interested students should contact the YMCA-YWCoffice in the Student

(When the wife said that the

Wimsatt Challenged
Monday night (Jan. 23) in the
Commerce Building auditorium
noted literary critic W. K. Wimsatt read a, speech that purported
to attack criticism that commits
what he terms the intentional

"fallacy."
His primary theme seemed to
be that utterly no consideration of
authorial intent could properly be
made in judging the merits or
meaning of a given work. I found
it very interesting to apply this
criterion to his own speech.
Having disregarded his published intent of attacking intentional criticism, I could only conclude, on the basis of his text,
that he was actually parodying the
stand taken by textual critics. He
paused several times in his reading
to editorially indulge in textual
criticism of his own text with results that (if we ignore the question of intent) could alternately be
described as extraneous or mildly
humorous.

Continuing in this satirical vein,
he preceded for an hour and fifteen minutes to deal in mock dia

lectical fashion with the arguments favoring criticism by intent,
just as a zealous textual critic might
do. He constructed an intermin-abl- e
number of straw men, each
carefully categorized and subcate-gorizeand lightly tipped them
over in a fine extended example
of the weakest form of argumen-tiv- e
d,

logic.

It soon became apparent that
the list was to be at least as exhausting as it was exhaustive. If
he really was speaking against
stuffy textual criticism, however,
his efforts were not all in vain,
for he made at least one convert.
The tumult of questions he left
unanswered at the end of his reading has finally resolved itself to
one query in my mind: W. K.
Wimsatt, are you for real?

Oops! Kernel (Sie)ed
The unfortunate mistakes in the
letter from the student at Austin
Peay College were no more lamen-

the last two paragraphs of a front
page story by a "Kernel Stall
Writer" in the Kernel of Jan. 18.
May I quote the paragraphs in
full and ask whether "sic" is not
as appropriate for your own writer
as it was for the student of Austin Peay?

Was Kehuttal Forgotten?
Allen White's recent letter to
the Kernel surprised us very much.
We thought he was dead . . . else
why would he have reneged on his
solemn pledge to rebut Brad Washburn's speech on socialism?
While we do not hold with
Washburn's views, it must be said
that socialist Washburn fulfilled his
promise to speak. Because of his
unfulfilled promise, White apparently would be a good contender
for Student Government president.

seasonal commotion at the W
House these days, there is an
unmistakable sense of motion
up from the doldrums.
Despite President Johnson's
comparatively low standing in
pite war and inflation, and a
plainly rebellious congress, a
spirit of rebound from political
slump is in the air.
In part, that mood derives
simply from the calendar. This
is the time when a President
proposes and it is far from the
time when Congress finally disposes. It is the time for the
President to draw back from
battle to enunciate national goals
while potential Republican Rivals begin to draw up the tough
questions and criticisms instead.
But some of the new spirit
seems to reflect Johnson's own
new zest. The preparation of
more than 15 special messages
to Congress is said to be his
favorite presidential task because
it offers a chance to record achievements and t
