Professors Say Languages Never Waste Of Timeu
By ANN EVANS

Kernel Staff Writer
Napoleon paid, "A man who knows two languages is
worth two men."
In response to a recent Kernel editorial on better
language instruction, three modern foreign language
teachers agree that it should never be a waste of time
to learn a language.
Mrs. Hobart Ryland, French teacher, paid that "by
taking a language we gain a greater understanding of
our own language.
Dr. Paul Whitaker, acting head of'the Department of
Modern Foreign Languages, eiplained the language re
quirement.
"It is denigned to motivate the student to broaden
his studies at the beginning of his college career," he
sail, "and so It has the same purpose as the other re
quire ments to keep the student from specializing too

early, and to give him a broader background for his
other studies."
Dr. Alberta Server, assistant professor of romance
languages, thinks that it is the student's fault if a lan

guage course is a waste of time.
Dr. Whitaker explained that, although it would be
Ideal, It Is Impossible at the present to have smaller
classes because of the limited space and the number of
teachers.
All three agreed that it would be advantageous to
separate the language majors from others in the first
two years. Mrs. Ryland pointed out that some students
have not decided on their major during their first two
years and might be influenced to become language majors
if they were in a class with the better students.
Dr. Whitaker said that separate classes for majors and
was not practical because of the scheduling

difficulties and the need for an Increased number of
sections.
As for separating the poorer students from the better
ones. Dr. Server does not think that this Is a good Idea.
She has taught such classes and although the advanced
class is a "Joy" to teach. It is extremely difficult to teach
a whole class of poorer students.
Dr. Whitaker thinks that it would be fine to give th
better students an enriched course to challenge them.
The problem would be that the students in both classes
would be graded on a relative scale so that some "A" and
"B" students would receive "C's and "D's" and vlca
versa.
The high schools are to blame for the poor first year
classes. Dr. Server indicated. She added that someday
there will be no elementary language course offered in
college except to those starting a second or third
language.

Different Aspect Of Date Problem
Is Ofcn The 'Fix - Up' Situation
By ALICE AKIN

Kerrtfl Society Editor
For Rome odd reason, this campus has suddenly become
with the topic of dating.
Everyone is wondering where the
next date will come from or worse
still where the last one went to.
This trite topic has monopolized
co"giate gab for years. It's the
first bit of conversation heard in
the morning and the last at night.
There Is an element of It, however, that is very amusing.
The business of "flxing-up- "
people has been so greatly exploited that dating has almost entered the ranks of a commercialized business. The agent is the
central figure of this business. Everyone has their personal
agent. His duties are indispensable.
He is the public relations man, the
informer, and the bookie. He must
know everything about his client
in order to give a capsuled description to the date prospect in

SC's AVic Constitution

It Mustn't Fail
In two weeks an important decision will confront University stu-

dents. The question before them will
be that of whether there will continue to be a student government
at UK.
Although it will not be phrased
that bluntly, such a proposition is
the essence of the referendum calling for approval of the radical new
congress constitution.
As with any document as
in content from prcceeding
ones as the new constitution is, misgivings about it and opposition" to it
have sprung up. Strangely enough,
most objections are based on the
section providing for a president
elected from among the assembly
membership by congress representatives. Few students seem to be concerned by the change which will
make the membership of the congress parallel that of the University
Faculty.
We, too, have our misgivings concerning the constitution but we
would prefer to see the referendum
approved and any needed changes
in the document made in the spring
and submitted to students as amendments.

the entire purpose of the Oct. 13
election will be voided, for representatives to )C selected in the coming election will be elected to serve
in a congress organized under the
new constitution.
This very condition makes approval of the constitution imperative.
Student Congress has been attempting to operate this fall with only
the few remaining representatives
elected last year who have not graduated or been disqualified for failure
to attend meetings. Without- new
members it cannot function at all
and it would be months before another election could be held under
the provisions of the old document.
It is because the congress is so
weak and needs the rcvitalization a
new charter and a new increased
membership could give it that the
approval of the constitution is so
vital. Students must determine if they
want a Student Congress with at
0
least a
chance of becoming
the force on campus it was becoming
before the election fraud of the spring
of 1959 or no congress at
is what they have now.
We feel it is the duty of every
student to approve the new

Good Luck, 'Baron'
In the world of sports, many
people have been called great. It
does not appear difficult to achieve
such a distinction there's always a
good friend with influence or a newspaperman handy to start the ball
(or ink) rolling. If the current trend
continues, every sports figure will be
great the underdog will be eliminated.
There is, however, a certain
minority for which the term "great"
is an insufficient description. For instance, in baseball Babe Ruth and
Ty Cobb were more than great. In
track, Jessie Owens is beyond this
description. In golf, Ben Hogan.
In the realm of basketball, the
name Adolph Rupp stands forth
head and shoulders above all others.
(Apologies go to George Mikan who
was "Mr. Basketball" as a player).
Adolph Frederick Rupp begins his
31st season as head basketball coach
.

of the Kentucky Wildcats

with a
battle with VMI tonight. As his team
takes the floor and Rupp walks to
the bench dressed in his familiar
brown suit, the "Baron of Basketball" will be seeking to extend a
record which is almost unparalleled
in the world of sports.
During his tenure as UK coach,
the fabulous Kansan has seen his
teams win 626 victories while losing
only 113 for a winning percentage of
84.7 percent. The records also show
four NCAA championships and 19
Southeastern Conference titles to his
credit. He has coached 21
All-Americ- as.

These are all justifiable reasons to
earn the title "great." And so we wish
the TBaron" and his charges the best
of luck for the coming season, but
win or lose, we know we will see
basketball as taught by the
Rupp style.

Greeks And Communists

Sen. Barry Goldwater

(R-Ariz-

.)

recently proved that he is an able
politician a man who knows how to
utter gobbledygook at a time when
it will be beneficial to him despite
the absurdity of the statements.
At a news conference preceding
his talk last Friday to more than 1,000
delegates to the annual National
Conference, Goldwater
said, "Where fraternities are not allowed, communism flourishes."
what tripel
The senator, however, was not
satisfied with making just one asinine
statement. He went on to point out
Harvard University as an institution
which verifies the truth of it. He said
Harvard is a noiifraternity school
which permits Cormnunist and Socialist philosphies to breed what he called a faithless generation.
Aside from being unscientific and
using only one example to back up
his statement, Goldwater's accusation
implies quite incredible things. If we
ity

Pish-pos-

h,

accept it at face value, it means that
students at Greek UK are far more
patriotic, courageous,
and devoted to worthy causes than
their counterparts at Harvard. If this
is true, then God had better bless
America for certain.
The congressman didn't let up a
jot when he began speaking before
the delegates. In his speech he called
the fraternity system "a bastion of
American strength." Now really, fraternities are okay, but even a senator
should be more realistic about their
place in the great scheme of things.
If one must speak of bastions of American strength on campuses, then we
still maintain that the Reserve Officers Training Corps has it all over
the fraternity system.

University's

Honors

Program

prepared by Dr. Stephen Diachun,
director of the Honors Program.)
Now in the fall of 1900 the University of Kentucky Honors Program,
based on the assumptions and objectives stated earlier, has sprung to
life. But the members of the Honors
Committee ould be the first to admit that all the plans carefully formulated on paper have not yet been
realized.
In fact, no paper program can
burst into
perfection in
one mighty act, even with the sympathetic understanding and cooperation of many able scholars, students,
faculty members, and administrators.
It is to be expected that any
Honors Program, or anything radically different from the usual routine,
would be uncomfortably born and
perhaps suffer a stormy childhood.
Only with time, as the ends of the
program become justified by the results, can full understanding and
sympathy be won.
At present there are 37 Honors
scholars, probably more than we are
prepared to serve with the best interests of such a program. These
students have a special section of
English, taught by Dr. Robert Evans,
arranged through the cooperation of
Dr. William S. Ward, chairman of
the Department of English, and Dr.
Maurice Hatch, director of freshman
English.
The aims of the section are not
