Faculty Office Tower Stirs Dissent
By WALTER GRANT
Kernel
f
Differing opinions on the academic merits of a proposed faculty
office tower have surfaced following a recent meeting between a
faculty committee and Vice President Robert Kerley.
The faculty group, mostly
members, of the Committee for
Student Affairs, contends the proposed office tower will be a major
obstruction to necessary contact
between the faculty and the student body.
Mr. Kerley, vice president for
business affairs and top administrator for campus development
projects, disagrees.
Mr. Kerley contends the high-ris- e
office concept is not a major
problem, but believes individual
offices for the faculty will en

Mr. Kerley 'does not think
present faculty uneasiness over
the office tower will develop into
a problem for the overall master
plan for campus development.
Three such office towers are outlined in the master plan.
The concept resulting in the
faculty members' concern is that
relations

offices are near the classrooms
and students "drop in freely
before and after class." The faculty members believe the office

Dr. Michael E. Adclstein, a
member of the student affairs
committee, said as a result of the
office tower, "future meetings
between students and faculty will
be confined to formal appointments rather than the casual contacts that have developed in the
past from students passing by
offices and dropping in to chat
with their teachers about the
weather, the ballgamc, or the
latest campus problem."

'Pickers9 Highlight Sing Night

By MARGARET BAILEY
Kernel Arts Editor

There were several high points
of real musical entertainment in
Wednesday night's
Sing. There was the bounding
exuberance of the Keeneland
g
Pickers, the sensitive
of the Pershing Rifles Trio, the
d
humor of the BSU
quartet, and the superb performance of the BSU choir.
There was also a good amount
of mediocrity, as can be expected
in a program of this type, and
a certain lack of enthusiasm on
the part of the audience which
would have made up for this
understandable problem.
Croups performed in four categories, including women's chorus,
men's chorus, miscellaneous, and
mixed chorus. A first and second
place trophy were awarded in
each dividion, except that of the
men's chorus which only had one
folk-singin-

good-nature-

entrant.
Alpha Gamma Delta received
the first place trophy in the
women's chorus division with

of
"Younger Than Springtime" and

enthusiastic

renditions,

a 16th Century madrigal. The
group of about 50 was
though some of the
madrigal words were garbled and
at times the alto section was
somewhat heavy.
Second place Kappa Kappa
Gamma was loud and numerous.
Their selection of songs was a
welcome change of pace in the
program, however, and their informal execution was imaginative though there was a problem
with insufficient direction.
Delta Tau Delta carried off
the men's choral honors both
for their singing and bravery as
the only group to enter the division. Most applause went to
their performance of UK's "Alma
Mater" with perhaps a few tomatoes thrown in for their
version of the Delta Tau
Delta song.
In the miscellaneous division,
a great time was had by all.
First place winners, the Keeneland Pickers stole the show as
they bounced on stage with their
of spoons, wash

and other sundry noise makers.

eyes-upca-

Their entire performance was
and yet had a
spontaneity that caught the entire
audience up in its enthusiasm.
Seldom will you see a wash tub
played with such style and grace,
and seldom can nine girls make
enough music to sound like an
army.
The BSU quartet teamed up
barfor some good
bershop harmony on "My Eveline" to win the second-plac- e
trophy in a performance that was
both clever and fun. "Some Enchanted Evening," their second
selection, was not up to the
first number. However, it was
well-rehears-

st

quite adequate.

Another group within this division which did a particularly
outstanding job was the Pershing
Rifles Trio. This group set and
preserved their mood and good
tonal quality as they teamed
up in popular folk numbers such
as "Cool Water" and "Cruel

War."

Perhaps the best performance
of the evening was saved for
last as the Baptist Student Union
choir presented an outstanding
performance to win the first place
trophy in the mixed chorus division.
The group was exceptionally
with confidence
and the necessary strength and
vigor to be effective with their
rendition of a spiritual, "Shad-racMeshak, and Obednigo,"
and an arrangement of St.
Francis of Assissi's immortal
prayer, "Eternal Life."
Second place in this division
was awarded to Kappa Alpha

mixed chorus looked good,
sounded good, and was

* Gone With The Times
At least some students seem to
have insight into vhat Student
Confess function on this campus
should be.
Though major Congress candidates have stressed a bland line of
provincialism. 105 students have
endorsed a more meaningful role
for Congress.
Teacher evaluation certainly is
not the only project that should
be within the realm of Congress,
but it is at least one area which
defines Congress as speaking for
the student within the context of
a large University. Since teacher
evaluation already is the concern
of several faculty and student committees, perhaps it is not the area
most needful of attention.
Therefore, the most significant
item surrounding the petition is
the accompaming comments by
Miss Patricia Dominguez, one of
its framers: "This is to represent
the fact that students do have
ideas and leaders do not come to
students for them."
Miss Dominguez's statement
points up an important shortcoming

leaders, those representing the
forces toward change brewing in
the student body, never have the
chance to win high offices on a
campus that overwhelmingly endorses the status quo and the bland

Student Congress and AWS. by
and large, deal out petty favors
and reprimands to students rather
than coming to grips with the
important forces affecting college
students around the nation. Candidates are concerned not with
guiding and directing the path of
student power withinthe University
but with adding

another impressive office to their
reportoireof campus activities.
Campaigns are fought not on
real issues, as Miss Dominguez
pointed out in saying the petition
"introduced an important issue into
an issueless campaign." Rather
they are fought on a series of
deals, pitting charmer against
charmer in an attempt to capture
the attention of the student who
actually could not care less.
Perhaps only a handful of students are interested in real student
government. If so. this handful
should be the leaders of Student
Congress.
The University has passed the
stage where an attractive charm
boy dancing around for a year in
Student Congress can make significant contributions to the total University. Such a sideshow is almost
embarrassing.

India's Language Problem
The exotic diversity of India
sometimes bubbles into incoherence. The national constitution, for
example, recognizes 15 languages,
all of them "official." (There are
several hundred unofficial languages.) Hindi, however, is recognized
as the "national language" and
English is described by the government as the "international language."
All of this has led to a great deal
of continuing strife. Attempts by
the 60 percent of the country which
speaks Hindi to impose that language on the rest have provoked
riots in recent years, while the
government's current pledge to the
Sikhs to create a Punjabi-speakin- g
state also has led to rioting. In the
meantime, the likelihood of English
being replaced by Hindi as the
effective lingua franca a government goal is remote.

For several years this goal of the
government has been rather hapEditor's Sote: All letters submitted hazardly approached through its

ubiquitous illiteracy to burden even
an elite under three languages. And,
in fact, the formula does not work
so effectively, English remains the
link language among educated
people in the different regions, the
language of mass media communication (newspapers, radio, films),
commerce and governmental correspondence.
But if English is far more than
just the "international language,"
its full potential dynamism and
utility have been restrained. Were
English made the accepted national
language, however, and taught in
school along with the mother
tongues, including Hindi, the prospects would be enhanced for a rapid
increase in literacy and the opportunity expanded for British and
American assistance in supplying
teachers and inexpensive textbooks.
As for the problem of national
identity, the Indians might ponder
the examples of all the other
nations
which quite adequately maintain
their political, cultural and intellectual identity, while also sharing
in the unrivaled progress that has
resulted fromthecrosspollinationof
the English-speakinworld. India,
in fact, would be strengthened by a
language versatile enough to encompass all her diversity without
suppressing any of it.

Professor Protests Dismissal Of Colleague

By DONALD IVEY
There is an old saw in organizational circles to the effect
that dirty linen should not be
washed in public. However, there-ilinen on our University campus which desperately needs
washing, and bringing it into
view may well be the best, if
not the only, way in which to
get it clean.

dismissal of one of the finest
classroom teachers and choral
conductors on our campus, Miss
Sara Holroyd.

time schedule, teachers holding
