One thing bothering Allen is
that a large portion of the student
body has little understanding of
evening school. "Students may
take academic courses in the
evening and receive residence

may enter an evening class by

Since Fayette County began
introducing modern math in its

This is the offering of a bachelor's

Out in the aisles, alert "spotters" catch the bids from buyers
in the audience and immediately
relay them back to the auctioneer. Someone raises a finger

a nod of a head for $2,000;

And the yearling is quickly

This is what actually goes
on each afternoon and evening

at Keeneland Race Track. Here,
thousands of dollars worth of
horses arc sold each day, and
among them perhaps a future
Kentucky Derby winner. At least
the buyers hope so.

The horses are brought in one
at a time, according to their
numerical hip numbers, from the
paddock area behind the pavillion. They are brought out in

quick succession, by uniformed
negro grooms, for the auctioning
of a horse usually takes only a
few minutes. In these few moments, however, any amount from
several hundred dollars to sev eral
hundred thousand dollars may be
spent by one buyer.
While the auctioning is going

S,ro"' Misquoted
In the Sept. 12 issue of the
Kernel Dr. Robert II. Stroup,
a University professor of economics, was misquoted concerning his trip to Vietnam.
The incorrect line was "But
the people in the lowlands are
not communist sympathizers and
they hate the mountain people
in the highlands who are."
It should have read: "There
are communists both in the Cen-

tral Highlands and in the lowlands but the infiltration in the
highlands is greater because of
its density. The people in the
highlands and lowlands are not
exactly compatible because they
speak a different language and
come from different cultures."

would not condemn others holding
or expressing different viewpoints.
But apparently some students here
at the University fail to realize
why organizations such as the Students for a Democratic Society
should be allowed the freedoms
of speech and assembly.
For those who find thinking
difficult, it will suffice to say that
the Constitution of the United
States of America guarantees to
every citizen, under the Bill of
Rights, the freedom of speech, provided he does not slander or libel
another, and the right to assemble,
if done peacefully.

For those who can and will
think for themselves, such a group
as the Students for a Democratic
Society can serve as a very integral
part of a university life. Different
points of view cause individuals
to question both their views and
others. When such individuals have
questioned and have come to their
own conclusions, they emerge as
more informed and educated individuals.

More Than Grades
I am sorry that the Kernel saw
fit to criticize UK athletics in the
manner in which it did in the
September 14th editorial. There is
little enough pride and desire for
winning tradition at UK without
your encouraging more apathy in
this direction. (This is the same
apathy which you justifiably
deplore in academic and intel-

lectual pursuits.)
There is more to a campus than
its grade point standing and its
cultural contributions. Informal education in this case football (yes
FOOTBALL)-- is just as important
to the student, and I for one think-tha-t
the team will prove this before
December rolls around.

Proposed Charter Changes Court System
By WALTER GRANT
Kernel Editor-in-Chie- f
Few citizens of Kentucky,

The major changes are involved in the Supreme Court and

es-

pecially judges and attorneys,
can deny that the state's judicial
system has long needed a drastic
overhaul.
At present, the higher courts
in the state have an excessive
work load, and the lower courts
face a confusing jumble of overlapping jurisdiction.
Oftentimes, it takes years before a case is finally settled. Even
then, official bodies are forced

to keep from
getting completely bogged down
under the restrictions of the
present constitution.
Framcrs of the state's proposed new constitution recognized the need to revamp the
judicial branch of government,
and sweeping changes in the
court system have been proposed.

the District Courts. The functions of the Court of Appeals
and the Circuit Courts will be
basically the same as under the
present constitution.
The new charter specifies that
all of the courts "shall constitute
a unified judicial system for operation and administration."
The state Supreme Court will
be the highest court in the
r
system, and as such will be
the court of last resort.
The Supreme Court, consisting of seven judges, will exercise
general control over all other
courts in the state. However,
the legislature will have the right
to disapprove and recommend
procedural changes in rules established by the Supreme Court.
This court will have appellate
jurisdiction only, hearing appeals
from the lower courts. The new
charter provides for majority rule
on the Supreme Court. The judges
on the court will have the power
to appoint their court clerk,
presently an elective position.
The Court of Appeals, now
the top court in the state, will
become the second highest court
four-tie-

under the new constitution. It
will have powers of direct review
of decisions of administrative
agencies and such appellate jurisdiction as provided by law.
This court will consist of
nine judges, one from each of
the seven Supreme Court districts and two selected at large.
The legislature will have the
power to increase or reduce the
number of judges on the Court
of Appeals at the request of the

legislature.
The revision says the Court
of Appeals may be organized
into divisions if the work load
so demands. Assignments of
judges to divisions will be made
by a chief judge, who will be
selected by the judges of the
court.
Framers of the constitution
thought the judges in divisions
of the court could travel around
the state, at times using the
original records from the Circuit
Courts. Money could be saved,
and it is estimated that cases
could be disposed of in
of the time it presently takes.
The third level in the judicial
branch will be the Circuit Courts.

The proposed constitution guarantees that a Circuit Court will
be held in each county, and the
present districts will continue

Court and the legislat
