A&S Faculty Passes
New Honor Program
By JOANIE WEISSINGER

Wednesday Editor
The arts and sciences faculty
Monday approved a new academic
program fcr "honor students," said
Dr. Robert J. Buck, assistant professor of ancient languages.
The program, an optional one,
requires a student to take 24 credit
hours in addition to the 130 credit
hours required for graduation.
The program is subject to approval of the University Faculty
which will meet in May. If passed
by the University faculty and the
Board of Trustees, the program
will go into effect July 1, Dr. Buck
said.
Students entering the new program will receive "AB with Honors
in the College of Arts and Sciences" degrees, Dr. Buck stated, and
it will be recorded on their trans-script- s.
"Honor students" will also reseating
at comceive special
mencement, asserted Dr. Buck. He
said the program would enable students to receive higher recognition when applying for graduate
.

work.

The 24 additional credit hours
Include tlx in foreign languages,

six in science, six In social sciences and six in philosophy
and
humanities, Dr. Buck stated.
Students eligible for the program will be those who are in the
upper 20 percentile on the entrance

exams.' Other students may enter
the program after application and
approvial by the Honors Committee which will be appointed by
Dr. M. M. White, arts and science
dean.
"We don't want many at first,
because we want to have more
experience with the running of the
program. We desire no more than
25," said Dr. Buck referring to
the honors program.
It is modeled on honor programs existing at Universities of
North Carolina, Texas, Kansas,
Arkansas and others, Dr. Buck
said.
Members of the committee which
drafted the new program are J. A.
McCauley, associate professor of
Journalism; Dr. H. P. Riley, head
of botany department; Dr. E. E.
Kraehe, associate professor of
history; Dr. W. C. DeMarcus, associate professor of physics; Dr.
II. II. Jack, instructor of philosophy; and Dr. Buck, chairman.

Dean Says Students
Require More Effort
Arts and sciences students are
requiring their college to expect
more academic effort.
That's the indication Dr. M. M.
White, dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, gave at the annual
arts and sciences dinner in the
SUB last night.
Dean White said the new academic rules have been applauded
by the Kernel and a significant
number of students have won
scholarships, including several in
national competition.
He said these students are going to demand more knowledge at
rate.
an
"Their appetites will be whetted," he said.
Dean White added that three
of the top stifdents who will compete in a nationally-televise- d
quiz
program next month have told
him they felt inadequate for the
task.
He gave examples of the standards of the Kernel and the programming on the student-operate- d
radio station WBKY.
But Dean White said many cultural opportunities, such as lectures, plays, musical events and
the recent Foreign Language Conference are not being fully attended by students.
"Is it because, not only in our
schools, but in our culture as a
whole, the
common man, the
average citizen,, the middle-broor the

decision has been reached as to
whether to sell, lease or use the
property for increasing the faculty club's facilities.
When the farm was sold, Dr.
Peterson continued, the price was
set at $797 an acre for 1,066 acres.
"The mansion itself was not included in the figures," he said.
He added that the farm had
been appraised at $1,705,000 three
years ago, and that Mrs. Grant
had declined an offer of $1,332,000
prior to selling it to the University.
Dr. Peterson said the open house
was held at Spindletop Sunday
afternoon because of the repeated
requests the University had had
from persons wanting to "see it. He
also said the University had asked
for suggestions as to how the property might be used, and that that

to be not only courageous, but also
highly constructive. I am sure it represents the attitude of a large segment
of the student body, for whom the
school is supposed to exist.
I think it is both remarkable and
gratifying that the University is permitted to have a newspaper which is
apparently free from administrative
censure and restraint. For this, the
administration is to be highly commended. A continuation of that policy
will assure that the University will
continue to turn out fine and outspoken newspapermen.

The city of Lexington, at long last,
has deemed it important enough to
install a traffic light with dual red
blinkers for stop traffic at the corner
of Columbia and Woodland. This
intersection has long been a thorn in
the side of many Cooperstown residents who daily run the gauntlet of
a traffic snarl in order to get to classes.
Previously, only a single red blinker for stop traffic and a single yellow caution light. for through traffic
governed this spot. This created a
situation of "you go, then I'll go"

driving which made getting past this
intersection a tremendously exciting

game. It was also, unfortunately, a
dangerous sport: some three weeks
ago it resulted in an automobile being

struck by two others almost simultaneously, one on each side, as the
driver tried to "gun" through the intersection after coming to a confused
halt.
The new traffic light catches the
eye as if one expected the Gravel
Switch Limited to rumble through.
Its installation will doubtlessly prove
a boon to safety, and those drivers
who studiously avoided this intersection will now find it finally possible
to negotiate it without lowering the
car window and shouting to other
drivers: "Hang loose, Mac, while I
scratch through!"

the most unique and amusing approach to Hollywood's hullabaloo

categories established by fildom for
'Oscar' awards. To name a few of
them:

Fisher and Elizabeth Taylor.
"And, for the car manufacturers,
the following 'Oscars' are to be presented: 'Most Versatile Seat for Adults

To The Editor:
This letter is to congratulate you
and the Kernel staff generally for the
wonderful improvement in the editorial page during the past two or

.

three years, and especially during the
current year. In my opinion you have
been saying and saying well many
of the things that need to be said
on educational policy and academic
matters generally.
As a matter of fact, it seems to me
that the Kernel is expressing more
good sense on educational, matters
and displaying more educational
statesmanship than any other agency,
or branch of the University. Many,
of us are grateful to you for seeing
things straight and having the courage to express your convictions. Keep
it up! Maybe if you work at it hard
enough you can help stimulate almost as much interest in classrooms,
laboratories, scholarships, a superior
faculty, and even learning itself as is
now manifested in larger and more
elegant country club facilities.

Sex and sex appeal become lustful

and sinful when immature people arc
at the base of them. The immaturity
reveals itself in the y.'fusal of the majority of college and other females to
participate in sex acts while they still
flaunt their sex appeal for all the
world to sec. The immature female
has without a doubt dragged sex and
love through the slime and filth of
sin.

Aren't the girls ever going to grow
into womanhood womanhood with

High School Vandals
To The Editor:
I wonder if the Kernel has been
informed of the vandalism in the
Fine Arts Building during the last
week? It seems that every time the
University is host for events which
bring high school students to our
campus, this building and others
spend weeks repairing the damage.
There has been lipstick smeared
on the walls, on various paintings and
sculptures. An entire wall had to be
repainted because of these actions.
On one painting, a notice was thumb-tacke-d
to the canvas. A piece of iron
sculpture on which many long hours
were spent was bent and mangled
beyond repair. I am willing to offer
a reward to anyone with information as to who ruined this sculpture.
Most of the damage was done on
April 27 (Monday). .
The art students are very upset
alwut these incidents. Are we to
spend time and money to turn out
art pieces only to have them destroyed? Whether these pieces are
appreciated by the public or not,
there is no reason to deface or destroy private property. If this sort
of thing continues, students must refuse to allow their work to be exhibited where it cannot be watched at
all times.

These immature incidents are a reflection on the cultural attitude of
the entire University. We would appreciate any help you might give us
in stopping them.

'Illuminations' Arc
In UK Library

By W. O. ROGERS

Illuminated
manuscripts are
those ornamented with beautiful
scripts and remarkable design. In
papyrus manuscripts, first letters
were ornamented, usually colored
red or blue, and later gold.
By 700 A.D., Irish manuscripts
were using lines, geometric figures,
and miniature forms of plants and
animals, sometimes surrounding a
page.
Still later handwritten manuscripts became brilliantly illuminated with their pictures larger,
and their surfaces brilliant with
gold leaves and bri
