Nickell Named Acting President

SC Committee Decides;
Congress To Remain
By CARL MODECKI
Kernel Campus Editor

The Student Congress committee on constitutional revision favors retaining the present organization of Student
Congress, at least for the present time. The committee's
recommendation was made in
i statement issued jesterday
afternoon.
Students take a break in the International Student Orientation held
Sunday afternoon at the William Kelly residence. The event, held
annually, is designed to acquaint new International students with
the University.

Committee Issues Statement

Foreign Students
Attend Orientation
More than

persons attended
the International Student Orientation Sunday at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. William Kelly on
Lakewood Drive.
The purpose of the program
was to acquaint new international
students "with various aspects of
academic and social life at the
University.
Students from more than 10
countries or geographical areas
were represented
and several
Lexington residents and University faculty and staff members
also attended.
Speakers included Dr. John
W. Oswald, president of the University, who related his experiences with international students
at the University of California.
He said:
"My advice to you Is not to
consider Americans as a group
all alike; look for their differences; understand their common
goals, standards, and thinking,
and see what makes the American way."
Dr. Oswald advised the students
to become less directly involved
with academics where time permits so that they may become
more familiar with the American
way of life.
Dr. A. D. Kirwan, dean of the
graduate school, gave the students an outline of graduate education in the United States and
100

Members of the committee
drafting the final statement were
Roy Potter, Dave Graham, and
Joe Coughlin. Potter is a law

ent; unwise, because a radical
change in student government
should be preceded by more tliaa
a summer's study by a handful
of stiulrnts. Impossible, because
of the requirements that any
change be approved by a vote of
the congress, the faculty, and the
student body."
The committee suggested waiting until a new congress i elected under the present constitution and then having the problem
referred to a committee formed
by the new congress. Such a committee would have legal authority
to recommend changes in th3
constitution.
The constitutional revision
committee was formed last spring;
from a group of interested students.

student, Graham is in graduate
school, and Coughlin is a senior.
Jim Pitts, Don Carson, Vanchi
Marcum, Keith Burcliett. and
Henry Tribble worked on the
committee this summer.
The committee wlil present
proposals they have discussed to
Ron Nickell. Nickell. as the highest officer of SC still in school,
is acting president. Raleigh Lane,
last year's president, has graduated. Nickell was vice president
last year.
In the statement, the committee said:
"Changes in the form of student government would be both
unwise and impossible, at pres- -

the graduate program at the
University.
Judge Bart Peak, Lexington,
welcomed the students on behalf
of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He said international students must be familiar with the
government, home life, social 'life,
ideology and customs, and religion of Americans in order to
build goodwill and friendship between their country and the U.S.
Other speakers included Johnny
Barlas, president of the CosmoClub, who acted as
politan
master of ceremonies; Dr. J. F.
Van Meter, a Lexington physician; Lewis Hillenmeyer, presi
dent of the Lexington Rotary
Club; Sue Endicott, managing
editor of the Kernel; Dr. Kenneth Harper, international student adviser and assistant dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences; Mrs. Kathy White, assistant international student adviser;
and Ben Averitt, graduate assistant in the international program.
This Is the fourth year that
the Kellys have sponsored such
an orientation program at their
home. This year they were aided
by the Lexington Rotary Club
as a project of its International
Service Committee.
A buffet supper was served following the orientation program.

In order to clear up the confusion existing in the minds of
many students concerning the status of student government, the
Student Congress committee directed to study the consitution of
the Congress wishes that this statement be made:
Up to date the committee has considered several alternative
methods of establishing a framework for student government. It is
not our purpose here to engage In a discussion of these various
proposals. These proposals will be submitted to Ron Nickell, the
President of Student Congress.
It is proper to remember the function of this committee. This
committee was set up merely to make recommendations to the
revisions. This
Congress concerning the need for constitutional
committee had no power to initiate any changes in the form of student government. Any revision must be initiated within the Congress itself.
It is the feeling of this committee that changes in the form of
student government would be both unwise and impossible, at present.
Unwise because a radical change in student government should be
preceded by more than a summer's study by a handful of students.
Impossible because of the requirements that any change be approved
by a vote of the Congress, the faculty and the student body. Thus it
is necessary to wait until a new Congress is elected pursuant to the
present constitution. At this time it is hoped that the work of this
committee will be referred to a committee formed by the new Congress that will continue the evaluation of the present form of student
government. This committee of the Congress will be in a position
to remove the obstacles presently standing in the way of revision.
More students will have the opportunity to participate in the evaluation and after due study the Congress may present the proposals
to the faculty and the student body.

Skin Diving Dates
Really Are Different
By JACKIE

Kernel Staff Writer

What is it like to be valet
for a day to a couple of skin
divas? Well, it's quite an experience.
The morning of our expedition
was clear and bright. As the
four of us started out toward the
country, the sun and wind soon
erased the after-effec- ts
of the
past night's partying.
Our destination was an old
"that hardly anyone
quarry
knows about." according to my
g
friend. It was reputed to be up to 250 feet deep
in the center. Somebody must
have found out about it in a
hurry, though, because the sp.;t,
when we finally reached it, was
mobbed with cars, people, and
an appalling assortment of beach

paraphernalia.

Nevertheless, we made the Ion?

carrying the diving gear and the
girls loaded down with food and
blankets. We emerged from the
woods with the drama attending
an African safari. If it had been
a safari, we rouldn't have attracted more attention than we did
with the air tanks and other
gear.

We dropped everything in the

As the dressing process became

semester, others are worried about getting olf of probation, and some might
be seriously considering entering graduate sc hool. I he talk of tightening
the screws is worrying them.
Other students although the University has practically lost its title
of "The Playground of the Blue
Grass" are concerned about their
lives and activities either independently or among Greek organizations.
We ask this question: "Why do

students come to the University in the
first place, if not to work for an education?"
So we say let them tighten the
screws, for that is what we are heie
for to woik, get an education, and
to learn to live in the complex society
we are lacing.
Let them tighten the screws, for
if we don't get a taste of independence and standing on our own two
feet dining our college lives, then
when are we to learn? The first blast
of the cruel world can be a freezing,
stifling one if we don't expect it.
So let the administration
tighten
the screws, if they use practical judgment; realize the needs of the students, and still try to help them. We,
as students, should be prepared to
meet this challenge which in the final
analysis is a step to help us to improve our intellectual stability.

Speculation On Presidential Election Unwise
This column is a friendly warning
not to accept anybody's speculation-pun- dit
or politician about 1964 presidential politics.
At this stage there are two central
facts to keep in mind against which
any solid, new political developments
in the next few months can be meas-

ured:
1. The competition
for the Republican nomination is thoroughly
scrambled. Anything can happen. Nobody has anything locked up-- or even
near to it.
2. President Kennedy's political
popularity is very much in flux. The
tide is running adversely and there is
no foreseeing how low it may drop.
This makes the Republican nomination the more sought after because
it suggests that Mr. Kennedy's reelection may be far from a sure thing.
Since we aie warning against the
quii ksaiuls of political spec ulation, we
nnit heed our own warning. 'I here-forI will disc uss
only the visible hu ts
and oiler a few caveats against the
luture.
Sen. Rarry Goldwater of Arizona
:ind Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York have reversed positions.
Senator Goldwater has gone ahead,
and there is every evidence he is continuing to gain. Gov. Rockefeller lias
lost ground because of his divorce
e

and remarriage and may still be
losing.
As evidenced in the opinion polls,
at the Republican National Committee meeting in Denver, at the Young
Republicans' national rally at San
Francisco, there is widespread Gold-watstrength and widespread Rockefeller weakness.
But does this mean that Governor
Fockefeller is to be ruled out and
Senator Goldwater ruled in? I think
not. This is the kind of premature
speculation it is well to doubt.
Bear in mind that Senator
spurt to the lead as far as
the polls reflect public and party
opinion is due in part to the fact that
Governor Rockefeller has been politically damaged. Right now Governor
Rockefeller is running behind Senator Goldwater in the Gallup ratings.
This is just about the extent of the
loss in popularity he suffered alter
his divorce, lie gained it back. It is
unsafe to attempt to measure Mr.
Rockefeller's political weakness
or
strength until he begins active campaigning, probably this fall.
All we aie suggesting is that Mr.
Goldwater is not likely to get the
'
nomination by default. Quite conMr. Rockefeller may conceivably
tinue to slip and be out of the run
Gold-water- 's

ning well before the convention.

If

so, it seems to me more than likely

that the

big-stat-

moderate-to-libera-

l,

internationalist Republicans will not
long delay in turning to Gov. George
Romney of Michigan or Gov. William
W. Scranton of Pennsylvania, the
latter having only recently disclosed
that he will allow his name to go before the San Francisco convention as
a "favorite son." This wing of the
GOP has been dominant for more
than a quarter century. Its strength
has determined every Republican
presidential nomination since 1936
Landon, Willkie, Dewey, Eisenhower,
Nixon.
r
We are not saying that the
conservatives can't win. They
have good prospects of winning. We
are saying that they will not likely
win by default. There will almost certainly be opposition. If it isn't led by
Mr. Rockefeller, .it wiil be led either
by Messrs. Scranton or Romney.
A spirited contest for the Republican nomination is further indicated
by the evidence that President Kennedy may not head into the 196-- campaign in too good a position. The
odds almost always favor an incumbent President, but Mr. Kennedy is
having his political troubles. Soviet
troops remain 90 miles from the Florida coast, and the administration
Gold-wate-

seems to be belittling, rather than
helping, the Cuba freedom fighters
against Premier Fidel Castro. Unemployment remains high and so far the
country isn't "moving" very fast.
For the first time since his inauguration the President's popularity
rating, as measured by the percentage
of people who feel he is doing a good
job, hs taken a deep and sudden di
