Religious Affairs Office
To Guide, Counsel Students
By GUY MEXDES
Kernel Staff Writer
Looking for a church of your faith in Lexington?
Worried about your religious beliefs? Want a job
teaching Sunday school? Or maybe you're wondering if C(xl is really dead, like some say?
Now there is an administrative department,
located in the Student Center, called the Office
of Religions Affairs, which will help students find
answers to any religious questions or problems.
The office is an expansion of the position of
the former Religious Affairs Coordinator. Peggy
Coo Icy, who holds a masters degree in religious
education from New York's Union Theological
Seminary, will direct the office. Jon Dalton,
who has a Bachelor of Divinity degree from
Yale, will be assistant administrator.

"Everyone has something to do with religion;
a person must believe in something other than
himself, whether it be Jesus, Buddha, Zeus, or a
tree," Miss Cooley said in a recent interview.
According to Miss Cooley, the office will not

The loan fund, initiated by
the Higher Education Assistance
Act of 1965 and administered
by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority, was
explained to University officials
Friday in a statew ide orientation
meeting in Louisville.
Some 23 applications for the
loans have already been accepted by UK's Office of Student Financial Aid said Ordic
U. Davis, assistant director of
the Office.
KHEAA contracted in August
with United Student Aid Funds,
corInc., a private,
poration, to handle the fund.
Reserves of $400,000, to insure
the $4 million figure, were to be
deposited with USAF. Because

focus on any particular faith, but will be concerned with religion in general. It will function
as a guidance and counseling service, not to
direct students, but to help them find their own
answers about religious beliefs, she said.
The staff sees its role of leading the development of religious programs as part of the contemporary culture programs which Miss Cooley
believes will "increase students' awareness of
their responsibilities in the midst of a changing

world."

Also, the staff will provideussistance to students
religious activities of their particular
faiths in Lexington.
The office will soon try to coordinate informal
discussions in residence halls among campus ministers, faculty, and students. Miss Cooley hooes
that "students will be able to air their attitudes
and feelings" in these discussions.
The office's first task was collecting the religious preference cards filled out by all students,
sorting them, and sending them to the respective
campus churches.

Davis said, the 25 applications

under

the University's $25,000 loan endorsement capacity. Other applications will be held until the
money is on deposit with USAF.
For every $1,000 in the Uni-

versity loan reserve, Dav is said,
his office can approve up to
$25,000 in aid. This will allow
the program at UK to continue
until final approval from state
banks is given.
The University certifies that
an applicant is a UK student,
and indicates the cost of education to him.
But it is the banks that grant
or deny aid to the student. The
bank participation in the program is w holly v oluntary , and
"not too optimistic." That is
how Davis said Ralph Fontaine
of the Kentucky Bankers Asso-

ciation described the banks'
present attitude toward the loan
situation.

Campus Organizations:
A Sorry Indictment
Indications that the Campus
Committee on Human Hights might
dissolve are disheartening, but not
very surprising. The CCHH seemingly is suffering from a malignancy
affecting practically every organized group on campus. Most
groups are failing; some have gone
under.
Attribute their decline to lack
of interest, no time, student apathy,
or any other label and you'll probably be right, in part. Although the
problems hav e been acknowledged,
no one has taken time to determine the nature of the malignancy,
or begin to correct it.
The Advisory Committee for
Student Affairs, a newly appointed
faculty body governing campus
groups, has recently rewritten the
rules concerning organizations.
Presently, they are concentrating
with policies for registering groups
as campus organizations, making
them eligible to use University
facilities. They have not concerned
themselves with the faltering path
many organizations are following.
The faculty members of the
Student Affairs Committee strongly
believe ideas, suggestions, and
regulations for the groups should
come for the students themselves.
And it should be the responsibility
of the groups themselves and every
member of the student body to
examine their plight and to
shoulder the blame.

Wall Forum
freshman whose
and Socialist Labor Party
signs were removed from Student
Center bulletin boards has questioned the building's poster policy
and has made a suggestion.
He thinks special space should
be devoted to signs promoting individuals' personal causes, without censorship by Student Center
officials.
Already certain wall space is
used for persons seeking or offering
rides, theatre announcements, displays, Student Center events, and
campus happenings.
The Student Center Board
should not overlook the request.
Perhaps a wall "forum" of graphic
expressions on world problems
would be worthwhile.
The

anti-Vietna-

m

This type of self inspection
would reveal different problems,
but the main faults seem to be
these:
Too many organizations, especially the more than 100
and interest groups, merely exist for the sake of existing.
Their only purpose is to enroll
new members in order to maintain themselves. Meetings are
sporadic, and attendance is sparse.
A sufficient number of students
are anxious to join such organizations merely to fill an activity
list.
The large number of organizations is choking the campus.
If the CCHR were to dissolve,
it would hardly be missed from
the swollen list of over 200 groups
"active" on campus. Interestingly
enough, of these, only 45 sought
space at the Student Center's Activity Fair Friday night.
Organizations here tend to
avoid issues. As a member of the
Student Affairs Committee said,
"There is a terrible apathy regarding social issues, specifically
here, but also throughout the nation." Many supposed campus
leaders are afraid to pick up the
ball and run with it. In an amazing
move last year, Student Congress
went so far as to ban political
discussion on the Congress floor.
Other organizations, not protected
ban, ignore social
by a
as a matter of expediency.
issues
A smug, callous attitude sulks
among the student body. Students
are afraid or are unwilling to identify or espouse themselves to any
cause or purpose. Mimicking the
ostrich, they are willing to stick
their heads in a lecture hall for
chunk of education,
a
and not much more. Students and
leaders are afraid to make committments, afraid to learn to care.
With attitudes and conditions
like these, th'ere is no hope for
any revival of campus organizations.
Unless the groups muster
enough backbone to take a stand,
wipe away the cobwebs, and become a channel of communication
or service to the University community, they will, through evolution, reduce themselves completely
to
bodies.

was to be given back to the Students at the Activity Fair Friday
night. It wasn't they took it.
Centennial Coordinator J. V.
Patterson was scheduled to appear
in a special ceremony to present
the Music Room, which was used
as Centennial Headquarters, back
to the students.
The Music Room was originally
to have been vacated by the Centennial Coordinator on Jan. 1. Endless excuses given by the Coordinator resulted in numerous, and in-

creasingly hesitant, extensions

granted by the Student Center

Board. When classes ended in May,
Mr. Patterson was still there.

A

Meaningless Ritual?

Is the doctoral dissertation becoming a meaningless academic
ritual or is it not? The answer,
it seems to us, is Yes and No,
which is enough to assure continued debate on the topic where-eve- r
doctor of philosophy degrees
are issued. At least one major university has adjusted its doctoral
program in what appears to be
a realistic manner.
The University of Michigan is
certificates
issuing diploma-style- d
to graduate students who have completed all requirements for a Ph.D.
except for the dissertation. Other
Big Ten institutions may follow
suit. Stephen H. Spurr, dean of
Michigan's graduate school, said
the certificate not only gives recognition. It also meets the needs
of the students who wish to become
"thoroughly exposed" to the subject matter of a particular discipline, yet are not interested in
the "detailed and extended scholarship" required by dissertations.
As long as the Ph.D. degree-alternaknown as the "union
card" of higher education is a
prerequisite to advancement in
teaching ranks, the dissertation
may remain u hurdle to be leaped
tely

by future educators. Yet the spur
of competition in otheroccupations
has created a legitimate demand
for evidence of advanced preparation. Certificates
giving credit
where it is due, and no more, are
a logical development.

New Emphasis
In time of emergency, a speedy
response by the proper authorities
is most essential if life and limb
are to be saved. That is the idea
behind the new campus "hotline
to help," telephone extension 2345.
Anyone on campus can dial that
number 24 hours a day to get
quick help from police or firemen.
Also, a campus policeman with
first-ai- d
training now cruises the
campus constantly in the department's
ambulance.
The new vehicle and the special
telephone line are welcome signs
d
of a
reorganization of
the University's Safety and Security
Department. With previous emphasis on writing parking tickets,
the department's name seemed a
little ridiculous. Now it is becoming
more appropriate.
