Hershey Rejects Draft
Changes As Tar Out'
(UPI)-Selec- tive
WASHINGTON
Service Director Lewis
B. Hershey
said Monday that
despite some "pretty far out"
recommendations the draft will
continue operating the way it has
been until Congress deems otherwise.
Hershey also denied that the
Defense Department would prefer a chance to draft younger
men on the grounds that unmake betmarried
ter soldiers. If the Pentagon
wanted younger men drafted
first, he said, it would only have
to ask him.
At an hour-lon- g
news conference, Hershey was generally
scornful of the recommendations
for reform made by the National
Advisory Commission on Selective Service headed by Burke
Marshall, former assistant attorney general. Most of its
recommendations have
already been rejected by congress.
"I don't think they used the
experiences of the past," he said

as lack of upkeep.
He said that the study had

for expansion by the University.
"The landlords have an investment that they must get back

Some of the conditions in

It's Just Another Fire Alarm

False Alarms Plague Tower B

By VALERIE ALEXANDER
A

white light flashs at the

lobby desk. A piercing ring fills
the halls.
My roommate jumps from the
bed and knocks the alarm around
the room. She looks at me as
I cover my head with the pillow. I info mi her . . . "It's
another fire alarm."
That's the way it happens,
and you're never prqiared to face
the following onslaught of warm
Ixnlies charging down the stairs
with hair in rollers and towel
in hand.
According to Mrs. Martha D.
Royse, head resident of Tower
B, education is the answer to
eliminating fire alarms.
The number of false fire alarms
has not been as large this semester as last semester. In fact the
majority of actual fire alarms
have been the fault of six trash
chute fires. The cause of these
fires is carelessness. Last semester the girls were asked to place
their trash cans outside their
door, but this proved to be hazardous as well as detracting from
the appearance of the halls. This
semester the girls were asked
to empty their own trash but
due to their carelessness it was
necessary to close the trash chutes
last week and instruct the maids
to remove the trash from inside
the rooms.
"The reason the girls set off
false alarms is just for a joke.
They don't realize how serious
it can be," said Mrs. Royse.
"At the beginning of this semester the fire marshal spoke
to all our freshman women. He
had a tremendous influence on
them. I wanted to have him
back to speak to the rest of the
Tower, but his schedule was too
full," said Mrs. Royse.
When asked why the entire
building was evacuated when
the wall light shows which floor
the fire alarm was pulled from,
Mrs. Royse said this was only
a safety precaution insisted on by
the fire department.

NOW SHOWING!

"Also", said Mrs. Royse, "We
arc never sure if the fire is actually on the floor the alarm was

pulled from."
"As far as Tower

B

burning

down I am not worried alxmt
that. The entire building is fire
proof. However, there are cases of
girls being overcome by smoke
and this is why we like to have
the whole building cleared. I
realize that evacuation is not 100
percent, but I hope the girls
realize the seriousness of their
staying in the building."
About ways to prevent actual
and false fire alarms, Mrs. Royse
still believes that education is the
best answer.
"That is the program I plan
to begin with next year," she
said.
The phosphonis shooting
method has been used in other
places. With this method powdered phosphorus is sprayed on
the hand of whomever pulls the

alarm. As the girls come back
in the dorm their hands are
checked under ultra-violelight
for the phosphonis powder. Unfortunately, some girls have discovered that wearing gloves
avoids the chance of having
hands.
The way the fire alanns are
installed they almost ask to be
pulled when you pass them. It's
very tempting.
When this was pointed out to
Mrs. Royse, she agreed and suggested that a recessed fire box
where it is necessary to break
glass might eliminate any prank
playing.
However she said she believes
that pranks have been cut down
considerably by education of the
women.
What do the women of Tower
B think of false fire alarms?
The consensus of opinion . . .
"I'd like to get my hands on the
person that pulls it."

Merrily Orsini, a junior political science major who is planning
to enter Law School after graduation, has recently entered the
Student Government presidency race. Merrily is presently a Student
Government Representative, a member of the Complex Government
and a member-a- t large of the Student Center Board.

First UK Coed
Enters Race For
President Of SO
She is blonde, vicacious and,

apparently, the only girl at UK
ever to run for Student Government president. Her name is Merrily Orsini, junior political sci-

ence major.

The Student Government Office has no record of any coed
having previously run for SG
president.
Merrily doesn't feel that being
a girl will hinder her campaign.
"I think some people will not
vote for me because I'm a girl.
In some positions though, certain women politicians and
judges have shown that being a
woman has been no setback. I
think I can work just as hard
for something I believe in and
implement as many programs,
or perhaps more, than a lxiy."

Center Board.
She is running for the presidency primarily because she feels
students don't have any confidence in Student Government
because of the "inactive role of
the student government at UK."
"This is a university for students and should be run with
them in mind," according to Merrily. "I am terribly disillusioned
by the lack of coordination between different groups on campus. The north and south governments are both working for
the same thing but going alxmt
it in different ways. They could
get a lot more done if they worked
Merrily, whose campaign slogan is "Focus On Students,"
claims she is "tired of having
meetings every Thursday night
and squabbling over parliamentary procedure instead of getting
something done."
"Student Government is
workable at other schools. There
is no reason why it can't be
here. It has fallen into a nit.
Student Government needs to
provide services enough so that
students will care alxut it. If
an organization doesn't provide
enough services to warrant being
in existence, then it shouldn't
be in existence."

Holwerk's Second Annual Golden Fork Awards

By DAVID HOLAVERK

landscaping in the Complex.
The

Once again this year it is
our privilege to present the
Hol-wcr-

k

Golden Fork Awards. Each
of these represents the lowest
achievement
in its particular
field, and each of the recipients
represents the nadir of that
achievement. There were many
worthy nominations, and a valid
objection to the clioicc may be
that the final selection was purely arbitrary. But most of the
rejects will be back next year,
so they have no need to mourn.
And in no event should anyone
feel that his endeavors have
placed him on a plane above
the Golden Fork. The class of
bunglers is seemingly limitless,
and only time and lack of interest save many from being
honored.
This year we proudly present:

on them without so much as a
whimper of protest.
