The U.S. Office of Education this week allocated $135,497
to start Kentucky's new loan

The money is part of the
federal government's share that
will be combined with state
money to provide a guarantee
on repayment of loans made to
students by banks and lending
institutions. The loans were begun by the 1965 Help to Education Act.
Loans arc available to students in accredited graduateand
undergraduate schools, nursing
programs and one year
vocational schools.
Applications for the loans are
available at the Department of

These students, finding a minute between classes, take a break in
the Botonical Gardens. No doubt they are discussing their recent
Botany field trip and are making a serious effort to identify the
numerous species of trees in the garden. By the way, Friday is
the first day of fall.

Restricted Admission
Facing rapidly growing enrollments and a responsibility to provide the best education possible,
the University will soon have to
decide whether it will be able
to retain its open-doo- r
admission
policy for all Kentucky residents.
The blanket policy, challenged
by some administrators and faculty
members, has become an attractive
convenience for Kentucky students,
but it is now becoming impractical.
The University cannot continue to
admit every state student if it is
to attain a position among the
scholastically progressive universities.
From a purely economic standpoint, UK has neither the endowment nor the state supported budget
to adequately educate every

Ken-tucki- an

who may wish to come
to the Lexington campus. The
faculty cannot be hired nor can the
facilities be built to handle an unlimited student population, while
at the same time properly educating them.
Although assuring state students admission to college, the
current policy perhaps is an injustice to some students. A study
by the UK Counseling and Testing Service showed that 91 percent
of those students entering UKwith
a high school average of less than
"C" are doomed to failure.
As Associate Dean of Admis- -

sions Keller Dunn points out, it
is highly doubtful whether the
University is doing the student
who is marked for failure before
he gets here a favor by admitting
him. Mr. Dunn compares it to
buying cars. A man is better off
buying a good Plymouth than half
a Cadillac. This analogy is good
for the student who flunks out on
a string of "D's" who has gotten
less than half the total value of
a year's college work.
By no means does this mean
that students with lower averages
should be denied the opportunity
of a college education. Four former
Kentucky state colleges are now
in the transition stages of becoming
universities, and they present an
available, more realistic approach
to a college career for many students. Studies have shown that students compete with less success
at institutions granting doctoral
level graduate work than they do
at those offering only a bachelors
or a master's degree program.
With the four new universities
as a cushion for growing enrollment, the University now seriously
should consider initiating some
form of admission standards for
state students. Such a plan would
benefit the University, and would
discourage prospective students
who have little chance to succeed
from enrolling here.

Letters To The Editor

Beginning To Stir
the Editor of the Kernel:
Early this semester there were
several statements in the Kernel
about the inactive state of the
Campus Committee on Human
Rights. At that time there were
a few people who apparently felt
some sincere concern about this
and wondered why the situation
was as it was.
To

Speaking as a representative of
this "dormant" group, I can
honestly say that we are beginning
to stir from our slumber, but the
alarm clock needs to go off loud
and strong to make sure that everyone gets up and starts doing things.
I encourage all interested and
persons to attend the
first meeting of the semester this
Tuesday night. Such people, if
they are really interested, are
needed to help decide what sort
of positive role this group can
take to better human relations on
the UK campus.

Not An Atheist
An article appeared in the September 20 Kernel which reported
a talk which I made to the Baptist Student Union on Monday, September 19. The talk concerned the
current "Is Cod Dead?" question,
and it was a distinct pleasure to
discuss this issue with a group of
sincere and intelligent students.
Their hospitality was more than
gracious, and I should like to ex

press to them again my "thanks"
for

Focus On Cities

their invitation.
I should also like to

point out
covered the
that the reporter who
event did not understand the import of my remarks for the article
seemed to strongly imply that I
am an Atheist. This simply is not
the case. Furthermore, I emphasized this point to the group
more than once. (For verification
of this point I suggest there were
many at the meeting who understood me to have so stipulated.)
If I were an Atheist, I would
certainly admit it . . . this merely
is not so, hence I feel an obligation to "set the record straight."
The Philosophy Club meeting,
to be held October 20, will feature
a panel discussion on this "Death
of God" issue. I, among others,
will take part, and I would be
delighted at that time to clear up
my position on this matter, not
only to the reporter, but to any
others who might have been misled.

It is a commonplace among
mayors and others familiar with
municipal affairs that they cannot hope to solve their problems,
largely national in origin, without
Federal help on a massive scale.
Yet the Federal Government has
been so slow to recognize its responsibility that at the hearings
before Senator Abraham Ribicoff s
subcommittee recently there were
no accurate figures available on
how much Washington was currently spending on aid to cities.
Robert C. Weaver, Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development, estimated that expenditures
were $28 billion a year, while
Attorney General Nicholas deB.
Katzenbach put them at $13 billion. Something is wrong when
no one in the Administration knows
just how much is being spent
and just what it has to show
for its outlays.
Mayor Lindsay has joined his
voice to a number of others that

have been raised in support of a
constructive proposal that could
be of great value in dealing with
urban problems. It is that Congress
establish standing committees on
urban affairs in both the Senate
and the House.

If urban problems merit the creation of a Federal department, they
also justify permanent Congressional committees. Many Federal
policies have , contributed enormously to the difficulties in which

the cities now find themselves.
Thus Federal mortgages, housing
and highway construction measures
have all contributed to the mass
exodus of middle-incom- e
families
from the central cities to the suburbs. And Federal welfare policies
have had a great deal to do with
mithe influx of poverty-stricke- n
grants into the city slums. The
cities are the focal point of the
national fight for civil rights, for
improved housing and education.
Both houses need permanent
committees with adequate professional staffs to study the great
social and economic forces and
the policies-th- at
are transforming
our cities. Seventy percent of our
population now lives in them and
the prospect is that this concentration will continue to increase.
The cities loom as the nation's
biggest problem. Congress will not
be in position to find solutions
unless it is equipped for the task.

The framers also wanted to
make it easy for the people to
amend or revise the charter they
submitted to the General Assembly. (The General Assembly,
in turn, voted to place the document on the November ballot.)
As a result, the CRA removed
many of the present detailed restrictions for calling a constitutional convention and for submitting amendments to the
people.

What sort of university freshmen want to join fraternities and

several basic differences between prospective pledges and independents.

aptitude tests, according to Ph.D. candidate Gary Widmar.
Most of the sorority hopefuls said they would prefer to be
remembered as leaders, while independents said they would rather
be remembered as outstanding students.
Among the men, few such differences could be found in measured
or secondary school
attitudes, family background,
experience. Only in educational and career plans were contrasts
significant.
Most men planning to join a fraternity reported that financial
concerns were most important in any future jobs, while the
placed more emphasis on "working with people or being
useful to society."
Prospective fraternity men planned to do more graduate study
and often selected careers in business or engineering. Independents
more often chose education or the performing a
