EVERY MONDAY NIGHT

* Prolonging The Agony
For year after year, students have
raised long and wailing screams
against the mess of registration and
its frustrating results. In fact, the
preponderance of student opinion has
proved so vehement that the University has instituted a preclassifica-tio- n
plan, one which is supposed to
solve the chaos of registration and
alleviate the hue and cry.
But now the students are weeping
and wailing again.
The reason? The new preclassifica-tio- n
plan does, 'not afford absolute
security in obtaining classes and it
quite possibly could cause students
to consume just as much energy
walking as shoving.
But we have to feel somewhat
sympathetic for both sides, because
the students did not get the type of
preclassificatic a plan they wanted and
because the University attempted to
establish a decent plan to satisfy the
students.
But one giant flaw stands out.
Although the student may make out
his own schedule, he is not assured

of receiving the classes he desires because the registrar's office may place
him in another class which may conflict with a working or study schedule.
Under the old plan, students had the
opportunity to alter their schedules

when a class was closed so that they
coincided with their wishes. Now that
chance is gone.
Thus students who work could be
handcuffed by an unknowing decision
in the registrar's office; and many
could be struck with an unwieldly
class schedule, in which hours are arranged without consideration for
study hours. The student's schedule
could be completed "with great care"
and still be undesirable.
The facility of the plan is also questionable. One UK professor estimated
that each student would have to walk
a total of three miles in order to get
preclassified. It is dubious whether it
will reduce the frustration over securing classes.
We suggest that the University Student Congress, that near defunct
organization yelling for more power,
investigate the new plan and seek
ways to improve it., Preclassification
as it is practiced at other schools could
be studied and recommendations
could be made to the University. We
do not expect the administration to be
so arrogant as to believe its present
plan is adequate.
As it is, our preclassification does
not surpass and ease, the old vertigo
of registering in the Coliseum en
masse.
It will merely prolong the. agony.

About The Band
To The Editor:
I noticed the letter in Stew I ledger's
column Tuesday, about the Marching
100, and I thought you may be interested in the derivation of the name
"Best Band in Dixie" as applied to
our group.

and a word
to the wise: the cranberry scare was
really rigged. It was all faked from
the beginning. Now the truth is coming to light as a result of failure to
find substantial evidence that contaminated cranberries actually cause
cancer.

It all started when a heretofore
kind and loving research chemist
noticed that his pet white rat, Elmer,
was ill. He investigated and concluded
that something was wrong with him.
He was correct, for the rat died. Bemoaning Elmer's death, he determined to find out the cause' of his
deplorable disease, as Elmer was a
considerable loss to research, and
human companionship.

The chemist decided that Elmer's
formula had contained a big, bad old
irritant that had caused a striated cell
to get loose and nm around and
frighten all the other cells. They were
afraid and began to hop about wildly.
This, as we all know, is how cancer
is produced. Elmer had cancer.Enraged, the chemist declared war.

To The Editor:
Cheers! Once again it is time for
Homecoming. Even with the prospects of a mass slaughter on the football field, the after game celebrations
will not Ik dampened. There will be
a mad rush of highly spirited (many
under legal drinking age) students to
all the nightclubs in Lexington to live
it up. So? What is so different alxmr,
this weekend than any" other weekend?. Nothing, really.

Money isn't a problem either, because
students would pay to dance to a
good band.
By drawing the whole school together under one roof, there might
just be a chance of creating a little
bit more unity and might put more
meaning into Homecoming than making it "just another swingin' weekend."

For many years the band was called
the "Best Band in Dixie" while John
Lewis was director and gained national recognition under that title.
However, in recent years we have
dropped the name as there are virtually no bands in Dixie, certainly
none, of the caliber of organization,
support, and reputation of ours. Thus,
the acolade has become meaningless.

Just Another Weekend

With the recent commission of
Band Director Lutz as a Kentucky
Colonel, the suggestion of new "Kentucky Colonel" uniforms seems appropriate. But I would like to point
out that the band and athletic department recently spent several thousand dollars for our two-yeold uniforms, which were carefully designed
for use in the many other functions
for which the band performs, other
than football games. Our old blue and
white ROTC band uniforms were in;
their 23rd year of service when I wore
one in my freshman year.

.

If funds are forthcoming to purchase additional uniforms, I believe
everyone in the music department
would be pleased, but remember it
takes a lot of hard cash and I'm not
sure the student body would be completely happy to see the Marching
100 in a gaudy outfit.
