Pity the ioor sorority pledge for tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock she meets her
moment of truth in the form of the 11th
Annual Sigma Chi Derby.
The big event of the day Is the chase for the

ball field immediately behind Haggin Hall, said
Bill Neel, derby chairman.
Five members of each sorority pledge class will
participate in the chase. It will be their Job to acquire a black derby by whatever means possible.
The sorority with the largest number of derbies
will be considered the winner, Neel said.
Pat Witt, Pi Beta Phi and last year's derby
queen, wlil crown the fairest pltdge the Queen
of the Sigma Chi Derby. Queen candidates will be
presented by Janet Spence, Sweetheart of Sigma
Chi. The winner will receive a rotating trophy for
her sorority, and an individual trophy for herself.
Queen candidates for the derby include: Susan
Taylor, Delta Delta Delta; Lynn Drawdy, Delta
Gamma; Sherry Depp, Alpha Delta Pi; Susan
Everett, Alpha Gamma Delta; Pam Robinson,
Kappa Alpha Theta; Liz Johnson, Pi Beta Phi;
Renne McGinnls, Zeta Tau Alpha; Lynn Anderegg,
Kappa Delta; Bonnie Lindner, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Becky Snyder, Chi Omega; and Bonnie Sherman, Alpha Zi Delta.
The activities of the day will begin with an

informal reception for the pledges at the Sigma
Chi house Saturday morning, said Neel. He emphasized that the derby chase would not be held
at this time as it has in the past.
The Derby consists of a series of 10 events. The
pledge class that accumulates the greatest number
of points will be declared the winner and will receive a rotating trophy. Last year's winner was
Kappa Delta.
Three new events will be featured tomorrow
afternoon. The donut dash consists of four inner
tubes which the pledge must slide over her body.
She then runs to one of her five partners who dona
the tubes as she steps out of them. The first sorority to complete the process for each member
of the team is declared the winner.
The new shoe pile race involves the diligent
search for a pledge's pair of white tennis shoes
from a pile In the middle of the field. The first
team of four pledges to the finish line with their
shoes is the winner.
The third new event is a mystery which will
bo revealed to two unfortunate pledges on derby
day, according to Neel.
Other events scheduled include a poster contest, a cream squirt, a flour trough search, an ecg
throw, a
contest, and a pie eating
contest. The pie eating contest and the flour trough
search are being reintroduced after several years.
"All signs point toward this being our largest
and most successful derby," said Neel. "We have
received excellent cooperation from all concerned.
Everyone attending the derby should be in for an
enjoyable afternoon."

Social Sidelights
Controversy, controversy, that's
ell I've heard this week. Are coeds
dressing the part, will the Athletic Association decree some new
mysterious plan for this week's
game, are the law students out
cf shape, will our pledges win the
Eigma Chi Derby hands down,
seem harder this
don't mid-terfcemester? Maybe the weekend
will wet down the dust.
It appears that even though
the Wildcats are home this weekend there is a multitude of social
events planned to fill every waking hour of the student, and a
few of the hours he should be
snoozing.
The biggest event of the weekend, aside from the game which
our sports editor guarantees we'll
win by 20 points, is the Sigma
Chi Derby. This affair always
starts off the fall queen season
with some stiff competition and
really makes the sorority pleges
feel the keen sting of rivalry
which exists in the "Row."
The big event, as always, will

be the Derby Chate which unfortunately this year has been
watered to a mild romp around
the contest area.
It seems that things got a little
too rough for the Sigs and instead of some 300 odd pledges
pursuing the chapter there will
be only 5 women from each group.
Oh well, UK has really calmed
down a lot since my freshman
days.
As I said before, there will be a
queen, chosen from that glamourous, fantastic, greatly admired,
and much sought after group
known as sorority pledges. The
winner usually goes on to great
heights, she holds a distinct advantage over all other queen winners. She will proably never win
another contest.
The poor Sig pledges will be
doing their part during the trying afternoon.
They will be
smeared and battered beyond recognition by pledges with fingernails, and a tremendous urge to
win.

This is definitely one afternoon
when coeds on this campus will
dress in slacks and sweatshirt
and be in the swing of things.
So if in doubt about the correct
attire for the afternoon's fun
may I suggest Go Grubb.
With the Derby behind us, we
enthusiastically look to the evening with the thrills and spills of
big time college football. The
team and the coach will do a
fine Job I am sure of the Athletic Association I'm not so sure.
Even though IFC and several
other large groups on campus
have asked for a change I have
only one suggestion, wear a smile
and carry a hat pin you may get
up the ramp in time to see the
first half end. Well the least one
can pray for is a seat in the same
general area as his date.
The law students have been
amazingly quiet this week there
must be something brewing in
their sinister little brains, so beware coeds you never know what's
what when the legal beagles are
at recess.
blues
To cure those . mid-terwhich seem to be hitting everyone this week the Student Center Board suggests you drop in
at the Center Ballroom between
3 and 5 p.m. today for a little

jam session. To help those strained finances it's free. So start
TGIFing off right with a little
dancing and socializing.
The political elephants will be
gathering quietly in exclusive
conclave tonight in the form of
the I'K Young Rrpublirars. The
Fayette County GOP Headquarters will be open to only dues-pai- d
members for the event.
Turning our attention to the
fraternity scene the AGR's will be
entertaining their dates with the
music of the Houserockers tonight. And really in the mood of
letting their hair down are the
Sig Ep's who will be venturing,
via the haywagon, to Boonesboro
Beach for surf, sand, and sud.s.
After the game there will be a
multitude of parties sponsored by
the Greek men's world. The Fiji's
will be rockinz to the sounds of
the Continentals while the Sig
Ep's will be listening to the beat
on the stereo. Also spinning platters will be the Phi Taus and the
SAE's.
The rest of the groups I'm
sure will be enjoying an equally
quirt evening, saving up money
and energy for that big night
two weeks hence when the alums,
complete with check books, will
be on hand for that nostalgic

Fashions For Young Sophisticates

event known as HOMECOMING.
The Delts have already started on that problem, they have
uttered a few disgusted sounds
to the fact that they'll be having
a fling tonight stuffing chicken
wire. Remember that your drawings for house decorations for HG
must be turned in from 1:30-3:p.m. today.
We have advance news that a
truck route is being planned
through the middle of campus.
Complaints have been heard on
all sides about wheeled vehicles
both motor and powered and people powered careening around
the walks. For those of you who
operate said vehicles in said
careless manner there is a University rule which reads:
Driving on grass or walks
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
is prohibited.
As a parting word to those who
may have an interest in the journalistic world's social life, the
1962-6- 3
Kernel staff is honoring
their editor, Jack Guthrie, home
on leave from the Coast Guard,
with an open house Sunday.

Letters To Editor
More On COUP
To The

Editor:

In a letter
Mr. Sallustio
pressed their
the intentions

to the editor on Oct. 1,
and Mr. Maturani exskepticism concerning
of the Campus Organfor United Participation
ization
(COUP) to work for the best interests of the student body.
This question is valid in view of
the efforts of the
Progressive Party of last year. The Progressives were not a party but a group
of people who wanted to get elected
to Student Congress.

The COUP movement

is

composed
of a group of students having the
common belief that student government at UK. can not only be revived
from its "clinical death" of last spring,
but can also be greatly expanded to
Jill many areas of student need. COUP
letognies that there is a strong need
lor improvements in the academic
and cultural atmosphere at UK and
the members of COUP are students
vho are sincerely interested in making
UK a better academic institution.
COUP furthermore believes that
a responsible student government is
the best organization to deal with the
many faceted problems of student life.
COUP feels that these are worthy
goals which merit the formation of a
true party having a real platform.

The persons associated with COUP
tlo not seek the "prestige" w h i c h
might be associated with membership
in the present Student Congress.
COUP believes that only when the
Student Congress undertakes the
painstaking task of truly sewing the
student body will membership in the
(ongress represent any real personal
honor.
For the first time in several years,
.UK students

are faced with the

ac-

ceptance or rejection of meaningful
ideas, not merely popular personalities. The members of COUP feel that
if student government is to exist at
all, then it should be an active forum
ior student ideas. Thus it is with no
misgivings that we ask for your vote
in support of our platform and our
candidates.

James Svara
Chairman of COUP

pus, thus causing these women to
have to cross Euclid to get to their
classes.

The area of the dormitories, located on the east side of the campus, causes a heavy flow of pedestrian traffic across Rose Street when
the women go to and from classes
on the main portion of the University campus.
There is one convenient traffic
signal on Rose Street for student use
at the intersection of Rose and
Columbia.
There is only one convenient traffic signal for the pedestrians crossing
Euclid from the women's dormitories
bordered by Euclid and Limestone
Streets, and Harrison Avenue.
Fedestrian walkways are painted
streets. But
on the
these cannot solve the hazards in
crossing these streets.
The Kernel suggests ,for the safety
of the student body using the pedestrian crosswalks on Rose Street and
Euclid Avenue, that traffic signals
be installed.
We believe a stoplight or caution
light at the interesction of Harrison
and Euclid Avenues, and in front of
the Fine Arts Building on Rose Street
would be beneficial to the student
body.

Campus Parable
"But I will never be accepted by
my fellows if I am committed to any
one thing. This commitment will cut
me out of certain things that others
are doing or are proposing." Here
is a mouthful, indeed! When an adult
says this, he has just admitted that
he is taking the role of the follower.
Will I be accepted- - Accepted to what?
To what someone else has determined
for me? Each of us has to be accepted for what we are worth, on face
value. I know of a Roman Catholic
priest who accepted a confrontation
with an atheist self styled and vociferously professed. Of course they
didn't worship together. But they did
take care of an orphanage together
and they played bridge together. And
they enjoyed dinner together because
they didn't recite the morning paper
at each other during dinner because
they had points of view to express
on everything that was in the morning paper. This is what is known as
being accepted. Who ever said that
leadership was basically leading the
weak?
Leadership is much more the
lighthouse at the mouth of the harbora point of reference against
which well manned ships make decisions to go where they please by
mature considerations of goals and
ports.

Technicians Needed
To The Editor:
Lately a lot has been heard about
t
telethe installation of
vision equipment in various buildings
on campus. The apparatus just installed at the College of Medicine
has been hailed as "another step toward a campuswidc educational network."
The chemistry-physicbuilding has
a $(H),(K)0 installation. lUit this equipment is virtually useless unless technicians are trained to operate it properly. As a student in a chemistry lab
supposedly taught by ETV, I was told
at the first of the year how great the
installation was. It was fine for about
a week. Then something apparently
happened to the equipment which
hasn't been fixed yet.
The use of TV in this class was
apparently more of an experiment
than anything else, since the number
of students involved can easily be assembled in a lecture hall any time
something happens to the television
equipment. But the very idea behind
ETV will make this impossible when
it is used to its fullest potential.
If something is not done, the day
may come when 50 schools "across Kentucky won't have classes for a week
because the cameraman at the chemistryclosed-circui-

s

building

turned

the

wrong knob. Instead of being in such
a hurry to put educational TV equipment in all the buildings on campus,
the University should spend a little
money to train technicians to operate
all the equipment in operation.

Answers Wanted
From llrealhilt

To The Edijor:

A short Jtime ago,

some of our
fiicnds at the College
of Law informed us Mr. Breathitt had
decided to cancel his appearance before the law students. It has often been
customary for Kentucky candidates to
appear at the College o Law and

make shoit addresses on topics o
special interest, followed by question
and answer sessions. Usually, students
opposing a particular candidate will
ask a good many of these questions.
One can imagine how probing this
can become!
A few weeks ago, Judge Louie 15.
Nunn, with the loi tin ightness befitting a candidate for governor of our
Commonwealth, withstood this gauntlet of questions and won a number
of new lricnds.
Some questions such as these might
be asked:
1. How do you reconcile your support of Governor Combs' executive
order on integration?
2. What is the attitude of Mr.
Water field, your running mate, as to
this order?
3. Do you endorse Gov. Combs'
actions on appointments to the board
of regents?
4. If elected, will your administration attempt to prevent enlarging the
debt incurred 'during the Combs administration?
5. Will you make an earnest attempt to better education, industrial
development, law enforcement, and
progress in general?

Years later, in 1939, after he
had completed appearing
in
"John Henry," Josh reassembled
lrom memory several chain gang
songs. At base ,the material is
folk and it would be impossible
to attribute it to a first author.
Josh made a series of stories
out of fragments and the songs
are his in somewhat the same
way as W. C. Handy transcribed
and formed into compositions
Eome of the blues that had
before him.
There is much raw material
left, for as Josh says, "You can
hear a chain gang sing all day
Jong and never repeat a verse."
"Trouble" is the common condition, trouble Intensified nearly
beyond limit because of being
born a Negro. "Don't worry about
forty years; In five years you'll
be dead," says the voice of Jus-ti- re
in the song. But, "Jail break
due someday."
"Twas on a Monday" is of a
man who has been in trouble ever
Eince he was born. As Josh summarizes it, "Singing about it
somehow eases the sorrow for a
time anyway."
"Nine Foot Shovel" is a work
