Robert M. Rodes, political science instructor
at the University, believes that there is reason to
anticipate continuity in Soviet policy toward the
United States in spite of a sudden change in power
in the Soviet Union.
Rodes, w hose academic interest has been the
Soviet Union, is pursuing his doctorate in Russian
studies under Dr. Alexander Dallin, director of the
Russian Institute at Columbia University.
Dr. Dallin was selected Thursday night by a
major television network for a nationwide interview on the Nikita Khrushchev ousting as head of
the Communist Party and as premier of the Soviet
Union.
"Leonid Brezhnev, the new party secretary,
was a protegee of the former premier and it is
expected that he w ill pursue the line of thinking
and the policies of Khrushchev," Rodes said.
"There is nothing in Brezhnev's background
to indicate that he is radically opposed to the
relaxation of tensions with the United States. The
elevation of Brezhnev to the party post and of
Alexei Kosygin to the premiership may represent
only a rejection of Khrushchev, and not his poli-

Approximately 100 delegates
from campus organizations will
meet this Saturday, Oct. 24, to
take part in the annual University
Leadership Conference.
The one-da- y
meeting at Carn-aha- n
House will probably show
that student leaders still encounter the same problems in executing their duties as they have in
years past. This year's conference
proposes to find positive solutions
to those problems.
Plans for Saturday's program
began last spring when Kathy
Kelly, junior special education
major, and Mike Fields, a junior
studying business administration,
were selected by Links and Lances to act as

cies."

In referring to the NBC broadcast Thursday
night, Rodes said that he agreed with one of the
participants that the West has some room for
optimism because the power change may represent
something evolutionary in the Soviet.
Rodes said, "It is the first time an established
ruler has been ousted for reasons of incompetence,
suggesting that Russia has come a long way from
the days of 'total ix)wer" as it was in the days of
Lenin and Stalin. Perhaps a relatively orderly and
peaceful means of succession is coining into

"Brezhnev may be content to let Kosygin
hold the government position," Rodes said, "but
we remember that nine years ago the situation
with Khrushchev and Bulganin w as identical and
Khrushchev emerged as the sole power."
Referring to the Chinese quarrel over "true
Marxism," pointing to the failure of Soviet agriculture in the last two years, and to the Cuban
missile crisis that caused some loss of face by
not

but

throughout the world, Rodes commented that he
was surprised at the ouster of Khrushchev, but
many people have asked how he managed to survive this long, when things did not seem to be
going his way.

"The quarrel with China probably w ill goon,
although the impact of the change of power in the

Kremlin remains to be seen, and again we have to
remember that Brezhnev was Khrushchev's boy,"
Rodes said.
Rodes said that he believed Khrushchev's
main contribution to the Soviet Union during his
tenure was his reorientation of the country's

lolitical structure. This

standard of living of the Russian people," Rodes
added. "The main question," Rodes said, "is this:

Among tributes pouring in
with news of Hoover's passing
were particularly poignant ones
from the two men who now are
the only living former American
Presidents Democrat Harry S.
Truman and Republican Dwight
D. Eisenhower.

Truman, 80, is recovering in a
Kansas City hospital from injuries suffered in a recent fall.
He wired Hoover's sons: "I
was deeply saddened by the passing of your father. He was my
good friend and I was his. President Hoover was a devoted public
servant and he will be forever
remembered for his great human-itatia- n
work."

From Gettysburg, Pa., Eisenhower, 74, issued a statement
which said in part:

Kappa Sigma fraternity will hold its first annual Filly Football
Festival this week and next. The women will be playing a form of
football known as flag football. Each sorority will field a team.
The game evolved from the old form,
touch, which
was played in vacant lots, fields or streets ifyou lived in the city.
Flag football is a more honest way of judging whether the ball
carrier actually has been "tackled." In
touch there were
s
were actually used simultanmany disputes over whether
eously or whether the man (or woman) was tagged with one hand.
In flag football, the "tackier" grabs one of the flags hanging
from a belt around the waist of each member of the opposing team.
The flags are plastic.
The only person who is tackled is the ball carrier. The use of
tackles out of the game, but retains all
flags takes the
the fun, competition, and excitement of a regular football game.
Sorority teams will be coached by members of Kappa Sigma.
The series will begin with a playoff Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at the
Sports Center. Additional games will be held at 2:30 o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
Winners of these first round games will compete in the semifinals the following Saturday morning at 10. The two winning teams
will play the final game at 1 p.m. that afternoon.
Trophies will be awarded to teams placing first, second, and
third and to the team showing the best sportsmanship.
A queen contest has also been planned for the occasion. Each
sorority participating in the festival will nominate a candidate. The
queen, selected on the basis of beauty, will be crowned W ednesday
night Oct. 29.
A jam session has also been planned, although the time and
place have not yet been decided.

"Linda has made at least one

Last year she began making

Linda plans to turn her sewing interests into a profession.
"I always receive a personal

In addition to Linda, the

"We have had students
around the house doing something since we've been married.
The enthusiasm and energy with
which they tackle a job is very

be very conscientious about their
work and always do an excellent
job. Students are eager to do work
which often seems drudgery to a
housewife," Mrs. Oswald said.

Schedule Needed
The Registrar's Office is scheduled to have all
grades
by this Saturday. After that it's
only a matter of a few days before
students begin making appointments with their advisers to get
the reports good or bad.
Student morale seems to sink
to its lowest at the half-wapoint
of every semester. Deluged with
papers and exams, many suffer
from mental and physical fatigue.
Often, all they have to show for
their run down conditions are
mediocre grade reports.
In the old days the
period offered a brief
from the hurried pace durrespite
ing which students could recover
and begin fresh. The present term
system offers no such period of
grace and students can only anticipate more of the same hard
work.
Much of the blame for midterm exhaustion, depression, and
other ill effects that accompany
the occasion, can be placed on the
victims themselves. The tendency
of many students to procrastinate
throughout the first weeks of each
term inevitably leads to a tremendous accumulation of work. Doing
the assignments for half a semester
in one week is a large order. Doing
them well is next to impossible.
But, not all students are
and those who continually "put offfor tomorrow what
they could do today" usually do so
in only a portion of their work.

The need for a formal midterm examination schedule is evident. It need not and should not
be as rigid as a final exam schedule. Class work must continue; the
course of instruction has to proceed.
A definite
test schedule is needed to define the length

the administering of tests, within

Letters To The Editor

UK Needs Better Tennis Courts, Reader Suggests

To the Editor

of the Kernel:
Ever since Dr. Oswald took
office last year, the staff of the
Kentucky Kernel has done nothing
but defend his actions in every
area except the parking situation.
I now present you with a challenge
to openly oppose him in another
field.

Last Friday the UK tennis
team completed its fall practice on
courts which are so extremely inadequate as to strain the imagination. The University of Kentucky
has exactly four courts or one per
every 2,500 students.
The truth is that for the last
several years the University had
planned to build new courts near
the sports center, but under the
present administration, even this
ov erdue plan has been shelved. The
reason for this shelving is that the
administration feels the "education
is first and foremost." This was
made clear alxjut u month ago
when two members of the tennis
team presented a very convincing
argument in favor of better tennis
facilities at a weekly "iJr. Oswald
meets the students" conference.
While other aspects of past meetings have been reported in the Kernel, no mention was made of this
confrontation. These two players
loiiitcd out that other state col

leges, Eastern and Centre specifically, have tennis facilities that far
exceed those found at UK. They
also pointed out that tennis courts,
unlike Stoll Field and the Coliseum, are available for use by all
students, but four courts for ten
thousand students? A ridiculous
situation? Not so says the Oswald
administration. Academics first.
If this is truly the case, then
how does the administration justify
the vast sums of money spent on
football and basketball. Justification comes from the fact that UK
plays "big time" football and basketball within the SEC. Well,
whether you know it or not, the
UK tennis team is also in the
SEC and has by far the worst
tennis facilities of any member
school. If the University is to continue in competition with other
SEC schools, our courts situation
must be brought up to standard.
Last year a letter was sent to
the Athletic Department complaining of the lack of a water fountain
near the tennis courts. The letter
(from an en
