director, Dr. Amry
said.
Dr. Vandenbosch said the school,
to be opened this fall, cannot establish a good reputation without
a research program.
The school was provided for under the will of the late James K.
Patterson, former UK president. It
was named for his son, William
Andrew Patterson. It must specialize in international commerce and
diplomacy.
Dr. Max Wasserman, new faculty
member, has wide government experience and an outstanding record of research, Dr. Vandenbosch
said.

Robert Rodes, who is now completing his work at the Russian
Institute of Columbia University,
will teach
Russian politics and
foreign policy.
In William Chambliss, the school
has obtained the services of an
outstanding scholar in Japanese
history, language and politics, Dr.
Vandenbosch said.
"To obtain depth when so many
fields have an important contribution to make is very difficult;
but the emphasis must be on depth
rather than occupational training,"
Dr. Vandenbosch said. He said the
student body can't be large because the foreign policy and trade
profession Is not big enough to

employ many persons.
Dr. Vandenbosch, who was chosen distinguished professor in 1943,
will teach courses on South AsU
and international organization.
The former head of the UK PoDr.
litical Science Department,
Vandenbosch has been recognized
by the State Department for his
work. In 1954, Dr. Vandenbosch
represented the United States on
the International Secretariat of
the United Nations, where he
helped draft the U. N. Charter.
Dr. Vandenbosch is the author or
of five books, Including
two on South Asia, and has visited

* Threatened Injustice
Unless the new ruling requiring
fraternities and sororities to maintain
average in order to
the
keep their social privileges is amended by the University Faculty, any
Greek group which made below the
new required average will be on probation this semester.
The announcement of the ruling
last week caused a good deal of consternation among campus Greek organizations, including the
Council, which discussed the
measure at length. The new regulation, as it now stands, is in effect a
retroactive or ex post facto rule that
is, one that is made to govern actions
already past. In legal situations an ex
post fac to rule is forbidden because it
would allow governments to pass laws
punishing individuals for deeds committed which violated no previously
adopted law. With some reservations,
that is the situation in this case.
This scholastic regulation presents
fraternities, especially, with much the
same situation. The cause, however,
is not University Faculty malevolence
toward Greeks, but simply a case of
lack of communication somewhere between that group and the student
body.
all-stude-

Inter-Fraternit-

The ruling

was adopted at

y

the

University Faculty's December meeting in plenty of time for the affected
groups to have been told of its existence and to have realized that they
had to achieve a higher group average
than under the previous "double
standard," which required fraternities

Almost two months passed, however, before any of the student body
knew that the rule even existed, much
less that it would be effective as of
December, under ordinary University Faculty procedure. Thus the second semester had already begun before Greeks knew that their scholastic
standards had been raised.

lo The Editor:
One of your shall we say the most
outstanding students was nice enough to
send us, here at the Reflector, a nice long
letter and he also enclosed an article
from your paper titled "Southern Hospitality?" He must have been either
ashamed of the letter or the article, for
he did not sign his name. I would like
very much for the person that wrote
the article to let me know where he
Kot the information used in (it). I have
very much respect for the UK basketball team and even more for the great
coach that you have, but I have no
respect for a reporter that prints nothing but lies.
The article stated: "At each UK foul
shot in the last period, the fans kept
this childish chant: 'We're No. 1, we're
No. 1."' I was at the game and would
like to inform you that we the students
began shouting the childish chant, as
you called it, only during the last 45
seconds, after we were sure we had won.
Your article also stated that "students
were allowed to walk on the floor, and
stood only two or three feet from the
sideline throughout. Policemen did not
make any attempt to push the crowd
back away from the sideline." Again I
would like to inform you that the students did not get on the floor until
the last 10 seconds, and even in that
short time policemen were walking up
and down the floor pushing (them) back.
The article stated: "They booed Dick
Parsons and Bennie Coffman when they
fouled out; they booed Coach Rupp
after the game." We did boo the two
players when they fouled out because

...

they had showed unsportsmanlike conduct by deliberately fouling our players.
We did not boo Coach Rupp after the
game, as we were tx busy carrying our
coach and players off on our shoulders.
The article stated: 'They reminded
us, in fact, of a. very significant stage
in man's history prehistoric." Just what
do you base that statement on? Are
ve prehistoric because we give our team
outstanding support? Are we prehistoric
because we gave Howell a
standing ovation when he fouled out and
left the court, never to return? Are
we prehistoric because after beating the
No. 1 team in the nation we proclaimed
nurselves No. 1? After all, we did have

We therefore urge the University

become effective next fall.

I am sure that when an opposing team
playing on your court starts to shoot a
free throw, a deathly silence falls over
the gym. For your information, the commissioner of the (SEC) was here md
said there was no more noise that night
than at any basketball game played here,
at Georgia, at Alabama, or anywhere else.
The Southeastern officials said the
whistle could be heard on the floor at
all times, and that the noise was nothing
unusual.
Our coaches also received the article
you wrote, and were very disgusted. The
only true statement in (it) was that
the UK team was outplayed in every department. Why couldn't you have let
it go at that and accept defeat like a
man instead of placing the blame on the
student body here at Mississippi State?
I sincerely believe you owe the coaches
and student body here an apology.
If you or someone on (your) staff
had beenat the game, then you could
have printed the truth." Since from the
article I gather that you had no one
here to report the game and you only
printed what you heard. Since you don't
know the truth, why didn't you keep
your mouth shut instead of printing
these lies?

whose actions and teachings requhe a

a man, as I have come to know him,
was Dr. Chailes Barkcnbiu.
Of all the unaccounrable events

I suppose that death is the most mysterious and the most difficult of all

understand why a man of such outstanding character and dedication to
