In view of the intense interest in the SGA elections this week,
a Kernel reporter interviewed' two students in the College of
Law to find out their sentiments concerning student government
here at UK.
One of them, Bill Townsend, is
critical of SGA; the other, Eddie
Lovelace, defends it. Both men
have seen student government at
work on other campuses, and each
spoke freely about his feelings.
Townsend, a graduate of VYa-k-

Lovelace, a former member of
UK's debate team, tolds a degree
in political science. Among other
schools, he has visited Notre Dame,
NYU, and Ohio State University.
He said. "I found that the SGA of

expressed in the Kernel during the past year. The
opinions that have been rendered have been sincere,
based on factual knowledge, and without malice.

sJiould.
To those persons, we would say that this fact
lias bothered us much more than you. But we, just
as all newspapers, are constantly faced with a space
problem, and inevitably, as a result, some news
must be omitted that is perhaps worthy' of publication.
The Kernel ran no policy editorial at the beginning of the year, nor did we make any declarations
of what we would attempt to accomplish. Neither,
at the year's end. will we indulge in anv back- "slapping by listing what we think our achievements
have been. We would say that we think, year in
and year out, the Kernel has been an important
member of the University community, and has been
a contributing factor in the growth of UK.
If we have continued in the tradition established
by 42 years of continuous publication, then we feel
that our existence this year has been justified.
At various times this year, the Kernel has been
accused of being against everything. We would
point out that this is an untrue statement. We, like
the vast majority of our citizens, are "for" the American flag, little children, grandmothers, puppy dogs,
and keeping off the grass.
But we have never thought we still don't think-t- hat

any independent, responsible newspaper can
long remain in that category if it confines itself to

that, as a newspaper, it is our function
k
to interpret, to inform, to entertain and to criticize,
when criticism is necessary. This we have attempted to do. And the people who have been the
objects of our criticism have deserved it, in our
opinion else we would not have criticized.
To the new staff members, who will be announced officially in a short time, we have but few
words of advice. We would warn them not to
tackle the job of running the Kernel, or any other
paper, with the idea in mind of gaining either glory
or a multitude of friends.

We would remind them that the Kernel, despite
what some of the uninformed would claim, is one
of the few uncensored university newspapers. This
situation can exist only if the persons in charge 'remember the basic newspaper creeds of responsibility, and of maturity.
Finally, we would remind them that they will
find few true friends but the ones they do find
are worth a million of the other kind.
In conclusion, we would dier only one further
thought. This we would direct at those persons
who have questioned some of our decisions during

Letters From The Readers
'Masters Of Art'
To the Editor:
Ever so often wc hear a lot of talk, about the need for
a new Administration liuilding. I sincerely believe that
before we begin thinking about a new building we
should give some thought to improving what is going on'
in the present one.
If you have recently been in the Administration Building you hae undoubtedly noticed the lackadaisical attitude of the stall members employed there.
I c an notjlcu rm ine their eac t purposin being there.
Thev never seem to be doing am thing except sitting
around putting on lipstick, painting their fingernails and
gossiping.
And should a student wander in with some question
or problem he usually has to do cery thing short of dropping dead to attract their attention.
And once they take note of his presence it is with a
look similar to- the look on a gourmet's face while inspecting a ripe, dead fish. And after a long period of
sneering visual inspection, they might, if they are in the
proper mood, inquire as to why yon have entered their
sanctum and disturbed them. Then when they are told
the purpose of your visit they will usually give you a
vacant stare and an incredulous look as if you were stark
raving mad for bothering them with such trifles.
These people are all Masters of Art. masters in the art
of evading questions, and masters in the old art of passing the buck. They are all very expert at sending a person to see someone else when they cannot answer a simple
question.
The only people I have encountered in the Administration Building who know exactly what they arc doing
are the people in the Placement Sen ice. It is epiite a
chance to enter an office in the Administration Building
and see people actually working. And should you hae
any questions or problems they will try very hard to help

USP Is Defended
