UK is one of 30 colleges in the South participating in a study
which will tell the plans of seniors after graduation.
Answers to questions about ca- reer plans are being sought from
gradua ing seniors to provide in- formation which will help meet
students' needs during the next
10 years.
The Southern Regional Educa- tion Board and the Southern Col- lege Personnel Association, the
groups sponsoring the program,
will mail out questionnaires Fri- day to a group of seniors picked
at random from each college.
After receiving the question- naire, the student should fill it
out and mail it directly to Florida
University, where all the
questionnaires will be complied
and analyzed.

Broken Date Excuses
Of Coeds Are Varied

"You'ie going to hate me for
this, but . . . ."
Both to console, and provide
reminiscences for those unfortunates who have been the victims,
and, of course, know well the above
apology, here are a few of the
more common
and
relusal excuses.
"This is the last chance for me
to go home before . . ."
Or, "I wish you would have
called an hour sooner."
The boy who, anticipating a joyous weekend of festivities asks a
UK girl for dates for both nights
of a University function might be
met with "Well, sure I'd like to go
with you, but if I go both nights
somebody will talk, and they might
think we're going steady or something. But if you'd like to settle
for
One senior asked a freshman
woman to go to a local dancing
spot one Friday night and got this
answer, "I'd just love to go, but
the girls in my suite ae going to
wash their clothes Friday, and I
think it best for me to stay in and
watch them so Fll know how to
work the washing machine."
Another asked a girl to go out
with him one weekend in September, but she told him an instructor had assigned a term paper
and she thought she had better
work on it. It was due after Christmas.
Now that's real dedication, isn't
date-breaki-

it?

ng

Then, there are the careless few
who relentlessly say "yes" and
then, when they receive a better
offer, or more correctly, "remember
previous commitments," the unsuspecting suitor receives a phone
call.
"You're going to 'hate me for

r The

this, but my mother broke her
foot and I don't think I'd better
go to the game." This young lady
was an out of state resident.
Then, ". . . my parents promised
to phone the first two weeks of
school, and since they haven't
called yet
Of course, there is the girl who
completely forgot a queen contest
which she had to attend or contend, whichever best suits the situation, and had to reluctantly
break the date.
This, last one holds the 19G0 UK
record. Only 45
minutes after the date was made
and the boasting fellow let everyone In the house know about his
date for the big dance, he received his call.
"You're going to hate me for
this, but you see, (stutter, stammers, hums and hahas) I have to
help this boy decorate for the
dance and I feel obligated to go to
the dance with him after spending
all that time with him."
He who laughs last, laughs best.
Guess the next excuse to be
used will be. "Sony, but I haven't
finished registering yet."

Two UK Buildings
May Get Sprinklers
Bids to Install fire sprinkler systems in Miller Hall and the old
Alumni Gym will be opened March
15 according to E. B. Farris, chief
engineer of the Maintenance and
Operations.
"We requested that they install
the sprinkler system in five or
six buildings on campus, but they
are only going to open bids on
two," Mr. Farris said.
The contracts are expected to be

consensus is that dog is man's best
friend.
Four of the five fraternities hating pets at the present time have
dogs, the other has a hamster.
Then there is the Delta Tau
Delta group that has been adopted
by a neighbor's boxer.
Flip, a black Pomeranian, moved
into the Phi Sigma Kappa house
this semester. He belongs to Phil
Morgan.
Phi Sigs report that Flip became Inebriated once after a bout
with a barley and hops brew.
Flip sleeps in the bottom drawer
of Phil's dresser, although his
master's roommates frequently fuss
over the feasibility of having a
fourth "roomie."
Large groups of people tend to
upset Flip, the result being that
he skitters around quite a bit.
Flip seems to get along well with
the other canine inhabitants of
Huguelet Drive, but the Phi Sigs
say he is definitely in need of female companionship.
Dammit, Lambda Chi Alpha's
huge black German shepherd, has
become a frequent visitor to the

Cossa, Kappa Sigma's pedigreed
English bulldog, was named for
Balthasar Cossa, a wicked Italian
emperor who was Involved with
the founding of the fraternity.
The fraternity received Cossa as
a gift from a member's father in
September, 1957.
The firm for which the father
works user, an F.nglish bulldog as
its trademark and each year, at
its convention, gives one away as
a door prize.
The man who won Cossa was
offered $400 for him, but decided
to give his son's fraternity the pup.
Jim Stuckert said the Kappa Sigs
worried for a time that Cossa's
stomach would never get off the
the floor. Since then, his legs have
grown and Stuckert described him
as "the only downhill dog on
campus."
It seems Cossa's hind legs are
longer than his forelegs.
Cossa has a few dislikes, among
which the most violent are water,
snow, umbrellas, and liverwurst.
Kappa Sigs brag that Cossa is
not afraid of anything and likes
girls "Just as all Kappa Sigs do."
The girls seem to be fond of
Cossa, too, for he has spent more
than one night in the women's
residence halls.
Cossa's favorite antics include
and standing
in front of the James Kennedy
Patterson statue barking his disapproval of various campus affairs.

at Gransmire. Here they found freedom. They broadened their
vistas. They lengthened their horizons. They unstopped their
lottled personalities. They roamed the campus in togas, leading ocelots on leashes.
And, of course, they wnoked Marlboro cigarettes. (I say, "Of
course." Why do I say, "Of course"? I say, "Of course" because
it is a matter of course that anyone in search of freedom should
naturally turn to Marllniro, for Marlloro is the smoke that sets
the spirit soaring, that unyokes the captive soul, that fills the
air with the murmur of wings. If you think flavor went out
when filters came in try Marllmro. They are sold in soft pack
box wherever freedom rings.)
or flip-to-p
Hut all was not Marlloro and ocelots for the girls of Gransmire. There was work and study too not in the ordinary sense,
to be sure, for there were no formal classes. Instead there was
a broad approach to enlarging each girl's potentials, both mental
and physical.
Take, for example, the course called B.M.S. (Basic Motor
Skills). 15. M.S. was divided into L.I). (Lying Down). S.U.
(Standing Up) and W. (Walking). Once the student had mastered L.D. and S.U., she was taught to W. but not just to W.
any old way! No, sir! She was taught to W. with poise,
dignity, learing! To inculcate a sense of balance in the girl,
she began her exercises by walking with a suitcase in each hand.

When the girls had walking under their belts, they were
allowed to dance. Again no formality was inijKised. They were
simply told to fling themselves nlxmt in any way their impulses
dictated, and, lelievc you me, it was quite un impressive sight
to see them go lou!idii)g into the woods with their togas flying.
(Several later joined the lT.S. Forestry Service.)
There was also a lot of finger painting and sculpture with
coat hangers and like that, and soon the fresh wind of Progres-sivi.-came whistling out of ( iraiiMnire to blow the ancient dust

Today, as everyone knows, is the forty-sixt- h
anniversary of the
founding of Gransmire College for Women, which, as everyone
knows, was the first Progressive Education college in the
United States.
Weil do I recollect the tizzy in the academic world when
Gransinire ojencd its jortuIs! What a buzz there was, what a
brouhaha in faculty common room, what a rattling of teacups,
when Dr. Agnes Thudd Sigafoos, first president of Gransmire,
lifted her learned old head and announced defiantly, "We will
teath the student, not the course. There will le no marks, no
exams, no requirements. This, by George, is Progressive

* The ROTC Issue

They won a victory at the University of Wisconsin. And the 'ROTC
lost. The school's Hoard of Regents
voted recently to accept voluntary
trial basis.
ROTC on a" two-yeIn light of the controversy surrounding the issue, the lioard's vote
was probably the fairest that could
have lecn made without alienating
lxith sides. The school newspaper, the
Daily Cardinal, led the fight against
compulsory ROTC and proclaimed
that the vote was only a "partial victory." But the fact that ROTC was
even put to the test there was a victory of sorts.
Here, the endorsement of compulsory ROTC by the board of Trustees
has shrouded any hope for voluntary
ROTC; it has been inculcated in UK
students and faculty for so long that
there is a stifling tradition of stoical
acceptance. The University's Air Science Department even allowed its
cadets to vote on the issue, and there
was a preponderance of votes for voluntary ROTC. But the discussion died
there, unhappily for the students.
Students too long have been required to buy cans of brass cleaner,
ar

salute fellow students, trip along in
drill, and look like Robin Hood's men.
Compusory ROTC has become clearly
distasteful because the quality of the
instruction is dubious, and students
are not credited with any decrease of
reserve time on their military record.
We do not believe that the numlcr

M

of commissioned officers from UK will

decrease sharply because of voluntary ROTC; but we do believe it will
increase student morale and remove
somewhat extraneous class material
from the University.
The vote of the Board of Trustees
as the University's official governing
body could bring about the conversion. The multitude of colleges discussing the ROTC issue should at
least prompt a vote.
If the Board of Trustees chooses
to ignore the issue completely and
maintain the same system here, it
would ) denying the wishes of a
large part of the students and faculty.
If it should choose to vote, we hope
for the abolishment of compulsory
ROTC.
And then a victory will have been
won here, too.

Focusing On

UK Safety Committee
Presently the committee members
are preparing an inspection list, a
statement of items which each member feels should be checked to promote the safety of campus buildings.
Upon completion of this list, it will
be distributed to persons responsible
for safety in all University buildings
and housing units.
At the committee's monthly meetings, members propose improvement
from better safety measures for University employees in their homes to
safety through civil defense in case
of a major disaster.
The committee thus far has taken
only a short stride in promoting campus safety. Many of the burdens
heaped upon it are the results of
neglect of the importance of safety
on the part of the UK populace.
Campus speeding, crosswalks,
and everyday safety problems
are UK's most hazardous areas of
potential injury. The committee has
an extensive task in solving them.

Actually heard on East Tennessee
radio station was the following (of
all indiscreet things!) advertisement
of a sale of toilet seats:
"Is your toilet seat cracked? Does
your toilet sound like a missile taking
off from Cape Canaveral when it is
flushed.

"Do you have to stand in a long line
outside your bathroom door every

morning because your household has
just one toilet?

"Then come into
day and see our gigantic sale on

"And remember. If you have to
stand in a long line outside your bathroom each morning:
"A straight flush beats a full house."

Although promoting safety here
should concern every individual connected with this institution, all accidents which occur are the result of
carelessness on the part of someone,
either directly or indirectly. The University Safety Committee is studying
how to alleviate them.
The committee is composed of
representatives from each of the eight
colleges, Extended Programs, Food
Center, Maintenance and Operations,
dean of men, dean of women, School
of Nursing, campus police, Public
Information, and the Medical Center.
Lloyd Mahan, superintendent of the
Experiment Station Farms, is chairman.
The Safety Comiv'ttee acts as an
advisory committee directly responsible to the University president. The
committee recently met with the
president and made the recommendations on the proposed Euclid Avenue
underpass rather than the previously
proposed overpass.
