JOANIE WEISSINGER
Wednesday Editor
Johnny Cox and Susan Bradley, both graduating captains, received high honors Monday night at the annual
UK basketball banquet.
Cox, team captain, was awarded
the Albert Benjamin Chandler-WVLAward on the basis
of ability, character, leadership and scholarship. He also
was presented a .second-teacertificate by
John G. Dietrich, head of United Tress International's
Louisville Bureau.
Coach Adolph Rupp received the UPI's

Award.

Susan Bradley, captain of the cheerleaders, was awarded
the new Stella S. Glib Outstanding Cheerleading Award
by Red Calkin, manager of the cheerleaders. The criteria for the award included attendance, integrity and
a sense of service.

..Dietrich said Cox missed the number five
position by only one or two points. He said Cox was
fourth In the balloting for Player of the Year.
The
voting favored Rupp two to
one over Frank McGuire. North Carolina coach and
guest speaker, Dietrich said.
Speaking of the fans, McGuire said, "I was never
received so well as I was here (UK Invitational Tourney,
1957). You have educated fans."
McGuire asked, "What makes fans go out of their
minds and root viciously and I mean viciously?"
If we could only educate the fans that It's only a
game and that some good can come out of losing, he
said. The fans always want to know "What happened,"
McGuire added.
Referring to Evanston and the NCAA this year,
Hupp said, "I don't know what happened. I always get
advice afterwards, but none before."

He said perhaps next year the SEC commissioner
would select ten
to play a conference practica
game In preparation for tourney play. This year Kentucky was idle too long while other teams were still

playing scheduled games, Rupp said.
Rupp told McGuire, "We want you back next year
(UKIT) but you don't have to get tough about the
thing."
Bill Lickert and Don Mills were selected
for next year by the lettermen at the banquet apparently
without advanced notice.
Varsity players awarded letters were Cox, Phil Johnson, Benny Coffman, Sid Cohen, Howard Dardeen,
Lowell Hughes. Ned Jennings. Lickert, Mills. Dickie
Parsons, Al Robinson, Bobby Slusher and Manager Ray

Freshman awards went to Allen Feldhaus, Harry

Dean To Advise SC
On Planning Agenda
After ApiiM, agendas for Stu- dent Congress meetings will be
planned by the Executive Commit- tee. faculty advisors and Dean of
Men L. L. Martin, it was announc- cd yesterday.
Although the policy has not been
practiced in the past, the
SC
Constitution calls for such meet- ings, SC President Pete Perlman
said. The dean of men reminded
the Executive Committee a few
days ago that the sessions were
not being held, he added.
Monday
Perlman
announced
night that all items to be brought
before the assembly should
be
given to the committee by 4 p. m.
on the Wednesday before the next
meeting.
He did not say, however, that
Dean Martin and "the faculty advisors would help plan the agenda.
In a letter sent to Executive
Commit Uc. members by the dean,
the meeting time was set for 4

p. m. on Wednesday in the dean's
'
office.
John Proffitt, assistant dean of
men, said the idea of holding the
agenda sessions is not new. Dean
Martin had discussed their ad- vi.sability with him "for some time
now," he added.
By planning SC discussions in ad- vance, Proffitt said, business would
be taken care of more quickly and
"things would run more orderly

and smoothly."
"Legislation from the floor would
be referred to the Executive Com- mittee which would put it on the
agenda for the next full meeting
of Student Congress," he said.
In no way, Proffitt added, would
the meetings limit the right of SC
to place a matter on the floor, but
would only delay consideration of
such business until the following
meeting.
The week's intervention would
allow more time for
also, he stated.
Proffitt said he did not know
whether the committee would have
the power to deny any measure a
a place on the agenda. To his
knowledge, he said, it could not
prevent any matter from reaching
the floor.
Over-a- ll
respect for SC would be
raised he felt, because the Wedncs- day meetings would help to prevent overly hasty decisions.

versally symbolic Easter.
Easter, a combination of
(first day of spring),
Pagan
Christian (crucifixion), and Hebrew (Passover), traditions, is
usually the last of Holy Week.
The first Sunday or Holy Week is Palm Sunday, and begins at the end of Lent. Palm Sunday commemorates Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusal 'm four days prior to His arrest.
The Last Supper, celebrating the Passover, is recognized on the Thursday of Holy Week. After praying
that night with his disciples, he was betrayed by Judas, who identified Him with a kiss.
Black Iriday (called Good Friday by many) represents the day of His crucifixion. Christ was first
illegally tried by the "Sanhedrian" on five measures, referred to Pilate, sent to Herod, returned then to
Pilate, who turned Him over, without defending evidence, to the people.
Christ was then crucified between two criminals. At the sixth hour, (noon for the Jews), the skies
darkened. Three hours after the darkness, Christ died (his last words vary in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. Sciiptures say His death was immediately followed by an earthquake and other phenomenon.
Two days later, on what is
recognized as Easter Sunday, He
arose and spoke with His mother
Mary at the tomb. Then he appeared unrecognized to apostles
walking to Jerusalem to whom
He interpreted the scriptures. It
was not until the end of the
journey that He identified himself and departed.

The Mourning After
Alcohol, as long as parents who object to it and irresponsible youngsters
who cannot control it continue to exist,
will be as volatile a subject as it is a
substance.
Evidence of its ability to rouse the
citizenry's ire has been in abundance
week's Student
Congress
since last
moved to
meeting, when a representative
.vtudy the University Faculty's interpre-tatio- n
of the state law regarding drinking on public property.
Most of the vehement reaction ranging from suggestions that the representative who introduced the measure be
committed to an institution to an admonishment that he read the Scriptures
jind learn of the evils of .drink came
from outside the University. It was
caused, by and large, by an erroneous
news story in the Lexington Herald
and an equally erroneous editorial which
was filled with enough non sequiturs
and pontificating poppycock to terrify

the
reader.
The Student Congress motion, as it
was actually introduced and intended,
was to study the University Faculty's
interpretation of the use of alcoholic
beverages on University property, particularly at athletic contests. The motion
did not, as the Herald's news story implied and its editorial so sanctimoniously asserted, ask for the "opening of
beer parlors or grog shops on the campus." Had the Herald called the Student Congress secretary and asked to
be read the motion, as it was recorded,
it could have found that its entire argument was based on a false premise and
its subsequent "facts" were not only irrelevant but not even logical.
The Herald did not check its facts,
however, but proceeded to write, with
lofty phraseology and
condescension,
about the need for legislative enactment
which would prevent "any action which
would further let clown the bars to
youthful dissipation."
Balderdash. Runcombe. Bilge.
The motion in Student Congress had
ng

one primary intent: to study the current drinking laws, which are being
broken at every football game played on
Stoll Field, to ascertain whether they
could not be either amended, eliminated
or else enforced. It did not suggest the
sale of alcoholic beverages in the Grill;
it did not imply "a beer between classes";
it was not "just another gag by University of Kentucky students to 'stir
things up.''
The facts are that the state law which
requires one to be 21 in order to drink
in Kentucky, as well as that which says
no drinking will be allowed on public
property (Stoll Field, for instance), is
being violated. The intent of the Student Congress motion was to take action
which would alleviate either the infractions, by requiring the law to be enforced, or the hypocrisy of having a law
and not enforcing it, by eliminating or
altering the law.
The Herald continued its excoriation
of the Student Congress measure by stating that "with 50 per cent of the freshman class and some 30 per cent of all
undergraduates at the University of Kentucky on probation for poor grades the
first semester, it appears that this is
an inopportune time to suggest the opening of beer parlors or grog shops on the

campus."
These figures are accurate enough, but
they are irrelevant and prove nothing.
That percentage of students has been
on probation for some years, and is to
be expected not because University
students are alcoholics, but because as a
state university we must admit a poorer
class of freshmen than a private institution and then weed them out once they
get here.
We appreciate the Herald's interest in
of the Universithe continued well-bein- g
- administration of its
ty and in the properaffairs, but we hope that it will confine
its future arguments to facts and not to
sophomoric assumptions that create false
impressions and reflect sadly against the
credulity of the paper.

Lajcry Van Hoose, Sports Editor

To The Editor:
Mr.
In reply to the comments of
which apMore-lanconcerning veterans
peared in (last Tuesday's) Kernel, he
seems to have made the mistake of writing off of (or with) the top of his
head. He did not lother to check on the
truth of his major premise. That is, he
assumed that the Cooperstown housing
project is filled with CI students, and
that these arc the ones who are screaming
about the raise in rent. The fact is that
students will be
many of the non-G- I
hurt much more than will their CI
counterparts. The CI can supplement
work, if neceshis income with part-tim- e
sary; what about the student who is alhours a week just
ready working 25-4- 0
to stay in school?
The problem is not with the raise in
rent, per sc, but rather with the implication khind it. That is, the implication
here is that it is morally right for the
leaders of an institution to add hardships
to the lives of students at the discretion of the leaders. I wonder how many
of these same people would be shocked
to find that a neighbor had acquired a
dog, penned it up to the point where
there was no .. escape, arid then was
its
proceeding to periodically reduce
rations below the level of subsistence?
If Mr. Moreland has ever tried to
live on the CI bill, it would be most
interesting to see how he would suggest
supporting a wife and one or more
children on $160 per month, when required to pay more than half of this
($82) for rent!
Mr. Moreland disqualified himself in
terms of any likelihood on his part of
understanding the situation of most married students. He is, by comparison,
quite wealthy. He has enough income
to be able to class himself as a taxpayer!

Petty Vengeance?
To The Editor:
Your editorial of March 18 on your
Student Congress' decision not to join
NSA is full of the flaws which you condemn the SC for making. You evidently
do not agree with the decision and are
using your columns for petty personal
vengeance. You do not give an objective view of the situation, but you ask
the SC members to maintain objectivity.
Your pointed remarks toward Chi Omega
sorority are as bad as any of the remarks relating NSA and Communism.
You do not give any documentation to
prove this point, either. At least, the SC
members offered evidence to uphold
their arguments.
You quote the NSA Liaison Committee as an authority, or at least you made
an attempt to set up this committee as
an authority, on the subject of NSA's
Communist domination. This committee
said it was not, and never would lx
Communist-dominateThis is the most
fallacious reasoning I have seen in any
editorial columns of your merit for some
time. How can you dare attempt to
use this committee as the last word on
itself? Even the most naive realize that
this source is biased when it is concerned in a controversy about itself. It
is, therefore, not an acceptable source
to quote.
As your last argument, you say that
since Ralph J. Bunche, Reinhold Neibuhr,
Walter Reuther and Eleanor Roosevelt
are on the NSA Advisory Committee,
NSA must be good. This is your explicit
'implication, even though you did not
say these exact same words. A few sentences earlier you brought forth a statement which completely refutes this point;
and, therefore, shows the inconsistency
of your argument. As you point out, the
abo'e mentioned persons' names are
often used without their knowledge as
support for questionable organizations.
This neither proves nor disproves the
integrity of NSA, but merely shows that
there is doubt about its leanings. If
Rcisman is a Communist, as would be
d.

Inferred from the Matthews report, how
do you account for his presence on NSA
committees? The presence of Roosevelt
and the others on NSA committees docs
not offset the presence of questionable
persons, as you would like your readers
to believe. This merely shows that these
famous people are not aware that their
names are leing used, or that they are
not aware of Rcisman. I hope you see
that you are stooping as low as the SC
members.
