Both men continued the quarrel

fraternities must make a 13 standing or be put on social probation.
Should a fraternity fail to make a
standing a second time, it would,
under the faculty rule, have to show
reason why its charter should not
be taken from it.
IFC's resolutions, in essence, were
to lower the fraternity scholastic requirement, to have fraternity grades
averaged after all grades have been
turned in. to eliminate graduate students' grades from the
average, to extend the period over
which a fraternity may keep a
pledge before dropping him. to remove the probation clause under

KERNEL
The Toolbox

Ancient Planks Appear Again,
Can They Be Carried Through?
It seems to us we've heard that song lx'fore . . .
the trouble is. the melody is growing rather tiresome. The Constitutionalist party has presented a
platform with five or six planks in it that have lx'en
rehashed time and time again. We agree that these
timewom problems should le solved, but from past
experience we doubt il they can be solved by a
student group.
Nearly two months ago.. Kernel representatives
went to an SGA meeting and asked just how much
work had lx'en done on the platforms which were
published last DecemlxT. Some of the
planks were also on those platforms and
we were toldlbat either a solution could not or had
not yet leen reached. For this reason, we can't help
but lx dubious when we see these planks appearing
again.
alxwe-mention-

The United Student Tarty has prepared a different type of platform than has leeii presented on
the UK campus for some time. Their platform
could easily be a step in the right direction. It's a
little early to forecast but the US party has avoided
some of the promises that have been so prevalent.
However, their third plank, "through impartial
representation, to deal w ith other issues as they
arise," is rather general.
In regard to the candidates running for office,
lxith parties have very capable people on their
slates. It is up to you. the University students, to
see that the. most capable and conscientious candidates are chosen as your representatives. Stop and
think carefully alxnit each candidate's capabilities
and willingness to work, Ix'fore vou cast vour'vote.

There is a certain amount of prestige connected
with being elected to SGA, but the responsibility
involved is the primary importance. For this reaas well as those
son, the new memlx-rmust lx willing to assume their rightful responsibilities.
We may be .rather pessimistic, but one plank
which seems to us to be practically hopeless is "a
solution to the parking problem." After months of
batting the parking problem back and forth, the
faculty-studecommittee appointed to investigate
the situation came up with no solution. Instead, it
suggested that UK retain its present permit system.
The one plank we know will not lx- carried
through is "Financial support to the Kernel so as to
enlarge its circulation." The Kernel receives financial support from no one and intends to continue
receiving our inthat way. We are
advertising and subscriptions. As far as
come from
the faculty is concerned, all faculty members who
have mail boxes on the campus get papers every
week, and another batch of Kernels is sent weekly
to the Faculty Club. In addition, many faculty
memlxrs have paid subscriptions to the Kernel.
But don't get us wrong. There are many worthwhile planks on the platforms and they will strengthen the University greatly if they can lx carried
through. So vote next Wednesday for the candidates you feel will do the best job. By giving your
support you will be backing both the Student Government Association and the University.

"Oh, Sam,
hmmm?"

have just finished reading the tid bit of a letter
offered by "UK Student'' and printed in your April
0 paper which criticized the KerneT s selection of
news items and stories. I have never felt the urge
to express my opinions in print before, but I deckled I could let off the steam it pnxluced better on
paper than verbally since he respectfully requested
that his name not be used, any retaliation would
have to be in print.
I

My first impression was that out, good "UK Student" who is so concerned with decent journalism
was probably involved in one of those rotten situanose
tions that your paper "sticks its
into." However, that is not what I'm really concerned with in responding but the attitude expressed. He and his request thatyou "print some
of the good things and let the ba(3 ones go," made
me think immediately of a story I jjhee heard alxnit
a newspaperman's reply to his daughter who asked
essentially the same question. Heboid her that the

Your critic also remarks that ituloesn't do anyone any good to read such things. I can hardly see
how reading an article about cheating or slum bar-

racks can hurt anyone. Unless he has such an immature easily influenced mind that such reading
might give him bad ideas the old story of crime
comics, etc., predisposing to juvenile delinquency.

Hope Didn 9t Kill Himself Here,
Only Blood Was In Audience's Eyes
By LESLIE MORRIS

Now that Bob Hope has left the Bluegrass for
the Burntgrass of the California hills, we are ready
to review the impact of this great comic upon the
Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Now we admit to a minor prejudice to begin
with. Several weeks ago one of those personal notes
(Hollywood variety) came into
our hands, in which Hope urged

show and would get

Well, we hate to admit it, but we didn't feel like
pushing a beeg, stupid contest so Mssr. Hope's new
picture could get some free publicity, so the letter
was wrapped around the remains of our salami

rolled, and we expected to see Hope grab a firebrand and shinny up the tower instead he rolled

But getting back to his derby show may we
quote a poem:
"We did not dare to breath a prayer
Or give our anguish scope!
Something was dead in each of us,
And what was dead was Hope."
-- Oscar Wilde.
Speaking of the derby shows, we would like to
add that we thought Tony Martin's songfest was
the strongest of the series to date. Everybody, except Art Kassels tin section, was great: the fabulous
Coolers, the DeMarco's, Frank Fontaine, and last,
but not least, Tony Martin, who has the best
in show biz today. We might also

When Hope in the flesh (which gives us a lot of
hope) arrived, he went right to work. In the afternoon he treated an enthusiastic gallery to a rousand carded a forty-oning game of hatchet-gol- f

After the political rally, Hope then fled out the
back door of the garage, and hopped a fast freight
to Louisville where he partially redeemed himself
by performing on a benefit TV show over a local
outlet. The next day he reached the Downs before
