While the University ha"? not yet

charge of beef cattle teaching and
research; Dr. Frank Baker, head
.of the nutrition .section of the
animal industry group, and Ray

Dr. Parson, whose resignation
will become effective June 1, will
accept a position with Fischer
Parking Co., Louisville. Parsons,
who has been with the University
for four years, will do public re- lations work for the Louisville firm.
Dr. Baker, who came to UK
from Kansas State College three
years ago has accepted a position
with Oklahoma A&M as head of
its Animal Husbandry Extension
Program. His resignation becomes
effective in Au?ust.
Sharpe, whose resignation will
be effective July 1, has been with
the University since last October.
He did not announce any tentative
plans, but listed as a reason for
his leaving the "inadequate" budget on which Coldstream is operating.
It is understood that UK's new
budget calls for elimination of one
herdsman. After this was known,
Sharpe reportedly decided that he
would leave the University.
Dr. Hugh B. Price, acting dean

he had heard rumors that the

Politics on the University of
Kentucky campus have Id the last
few days become a great Issue.
Before long the matter will be put
before the students. How they
choose may decide the future of
SOA on this campus.
Before they go to the polls on
Wednesday there are certain mat-te- rs
concerning the tw parties,
the Student's Tarty and the new
Campus Party which every qualified voter should be entitled taamong
li now. Most prominent
these is the method of selecting
candidates used by both parties.
The Student's Farty selected its
candidates for President and
of SOA by means of a
democratically run convention
which was carefully patterned after
our National Political Parties' Convention System.
The slate of candidates for the
College seats in SOA was selected
by the entire campus in a Primary
Election. The Student Party felt
that a Primary was necessary because it is interested in achieving
an efficient, competent SGA as
sembly by letting the students at
large have a voice in the selection
of the representatives which they,
the students, will follow. What a
election
contrast this campus-wid- e
with over 900 students voting is
to the group of less than 90 people
who selected the Campus Farty
candidates.
The Student's Party purpose is
to run the most qualified people
on the basis of merit, rather than
affiliation in order tnat the members of SGA may be the most competent possible. In this respect the
Campus Party is sufficiently lacking in foresight. Last Monday

Campus Daily
Starting next Kali the Kernel will be published four times a
week under the banner of The Daily Kernel.
Some will, look upon this as a curse to the University,
.meaning that the Kernel will have four times as many opportunities to criticize. lU st assured that won't be the case.
WHAT IT DOES mean and offer to the University community is about twice the space for news and features ;ws in
the past. News and features will be more timely than with
the present weekly setup.
For instance, the main campus stories of the day will appear on page one supplemented by news from the Associated
Press.
Each day the latest campus sports will be reported in a
sports section. It is hoped that a women's page will be available once a week. Plans are in the making for book reviews
and reviews of plays and performances in the Concert and
Lecture Series.

of course, the paper will continue to run the "Little Man on

It is hoped that the daily will also allow more students

the way it should remain.
Many students have said there was no reason to go to the
polls Wednesday because the election had been decided at
the primaries of the Student Party. Well, that is no longer
the case. So, whichever party you favor, get out there and
make your choice known.

Health Service. Cooperation and
support of the students is greatly
needed in moving toward the goal
we all have of a stronger and
more effective student health program.
For this cooperation and support
to exist and grow in the future,
it is essential tliat the interest
which students have leads to informed understanding of the goals
of the Health Service in improving student health and of how
these objectives can best be
reached.
The method of providing physical examinations for students
entering the University, which has
come to be a point of current interest, is one of the many matters
on which such informed understanding is needed. Although the
need for and purposes of requiring
such health examinations are in
part readily apparent, a fuller appreciation is needed of how these
examinations can and will be used
to serve and further the best interests of students. Moreover,
understanding is needed of the
very real problem of how entrance
examinations can best be provided.
Those who have studied this
problem have concluded that the
mass screening examinations of
thousands of students within a
period of a few days with the
limited number of personnel now
available has not been a satisfactory approach from the standpoint of the student's own interests. This approach has not afforded a sufficient basis of information about the health needs of
students to enable the health service to do as effective a job of meeting student needs as is desirable.
It is believed that obtaining the
report of a more complete and
individualized examination from
the physician most familiar with
the health history of the student
is a step toward a "stronger and

(such as visual and hearing defects, dental disease, and allergies)
before the student enters the university so that he may be as effective as possible here. The health
service can give more and better
care to those students with health
problems, for example the four or
five per cent each year who are
excluded from physical training
m
and military science. The new
provides better continuity of
care for those students with
chronic health problems. This
means that available resources will
be used more effectively in meeting the students' needs.
In this matter, as well as all
others in which understanding and
cooperation are needed to accomplish improvements, an atmosphere of mistrust and the questioning of motives is not constructive. While the University is interested in the opinions of physicians, as it is in the opinions of
other members of the community,
the initiative for the study of entrance examinations and the subsequent decision to change the
method of examinations both came
entirely from within the University. Form and procedures to be
followed under the new approach
were discussed with the Medical
Society to make the approach work
most effectively.
Developing an improved program
for student health services within
the limitation of resources available is and will remain the criterion for health service policies.
Through informed understanding,
cooperation, and support students
can contribute much to the continued efforts which will be made
to better meet student health
needs.
