363 THE RIGORS OF REGISTRATION . . .
. . . and freshman frustration was only a starter. Who will forget climbing to the rafters in Alumni Gym . . . finding a dusty bench . . . and sweating over schedules? The floor below was a maze of pained expressions . . . a mass of serious suffering . . . Sorry, Physics is full . . . Here's a snap . . . Where is Basket-Weaving? . . . Advisors! Where do they hide? . . . Ticket Books! . . . Odd or even? . . . The faculty was hardly understanding! And then ... it was over . . . We were primed and ready to go! We were OFFICIALLY REGISTERED at U. of K!
   IN THE SWiNG . . . OF THINGS . . . WITH
. . . Those hours in the grill . . . and scrambling for seats at "customary" tables . . . cokes and jokes . . . catting AND ratting . . . campus romances which budded, blossomed, or broke up . . . coffee, Camels, and coeds . . . the pushing and picking for favorite frosh . . . none of whom made standings . . .
Hats, heels, and hose for stilted sorority socials . . . best foot forward, a mutual must . . . rushees smiling through countless cokes . . . and tarnished trophies were deftly dusted . . . "Paddle" was a nasty noun . . . "Hotbox"  an unmentioned unmentionable . . . handshakes were endless agony . . . but RUSHING was the keynote . . . and only the WANTED were wonted.
  1950 MEANT 214 DAYS OF U.K. LIFE . . .
. . . And life at UK meant many things . . . BIG things like pep rallies and football games . . . THE BEST BAND IN DIXIE . . . fantastic fraternity signs AND men . . . the clink of bottles . . . coke bottles . . . balloons and paper airplanes . . . and how the cheerleaders worked themselves to a frenzy . . . you yelled for the BIG BLUE, too . . . forif you'll pardon the cliche'  you had the proper SPIRIT.
LITTLE things like dances at the Union . . . Sweater Swings on Tuesday nights . . . the stag line . . . and exhibitionists . . . who could forget?
And how the Library  suddenly and inexplicably  became THE place . . . the week before exams . . . Seniors asking how to check out books . . . squeezing in study between smokes . . . always on the OUTSIDE, please!
Bull Sessions were always spontaneous ... no real start ... no definite end . . . usually when least expected . . . but ALWAYS when you needed sleep ... or had a test . . . tomorrow . . . REMEMBER?
 BACKWARD GLANCES AT BIG TIMES . . .
. . . Like Lances' Carnival . . . with its blaring booths and titanic tent shows . . . and the inevitable RAIN . . . which may have dampened some satin-clad sponsor's gown . . . but nobody's spirit . . . the barkers who pulled nickels from your pockets . . . the dancing girls who lured you into dripping tents . . . false fronts . . . the black-face fun . . . Little Egypt . . . the two-headed baby . . .
.... Like name bands at Joyland . . . Woody Herman and all the rest . . . the too-slick floor . . . the crowded tables . . . the moldy palm trees . . . a clip-joint, you said , , , but FUN . . .
. . . Like Homecoming . . . the paint, sweat, and choice cusswords . . . and all-night prayer that it wouldn't rain . . . the early-morning excursions to see what the Kappa Sigs had to show . . . waiting for the judges . . . alums swarming everywhere . . . the old-timers who remembered when . . . the game where you forgot fatigue . . . REMEMBER?  DREAMS OF THE PROMISED TOMORROW
. . . Long hours of exploration and development . . . perfecting technique . . . split-second timing ... an atmosphere of absorbing interest . . . the pride when things went well ... a comradely instructor ... an inspiring professor . . . the pangs of doubt . . . was THIS your calling? . . . slide rules, term papers, equations . . .
. . . Testing your technique ... on unsuspecting tots . . . trying to be stern and business-like . . . "Dear Robert ... we are sorry" . . . spelling B-O-Y . . . the reading circles . . . "Mary had a little lamb" . . . you thought of college humor . . .
.... EXAMS ... the day of reckoning . . . wishing you had studied regularly . . . cramming is a futile task . . . trying to put your knowledge on paper . . . the end, the object of study . . . ond then forget . . . the emphasis on grades . . . but had you learned? . . . REMEMBER?
   THE MATCHLESS THRILL OF WINNING .
. . . and sometimes, the anguish of defeat . . . ADOLPH and his priceless sign language . . . more eloquent than any grammarian's . . . lovable Miss Margie, who never missed a game . . . and had more spirit than most of us . . . crowding into historic old Alumni Gym . . . you came early to get a seat, you said ... as you plopped down on the hard, straight bench . . . ALWAYS in front of some fanatic . . . with size 15 feet . . . and an overworked sense of humor . . . but THIS was excitement . . . and you never got your fill . . . wot with the ticket book situation as it was . . . remember the frantic search . . . the bantering with those less sports-minded than you . . . wondering if the doorman would check signatures . . . watching gangling Bill Spivey . . . and Rupp's other sharp-shooters . . . the Cheerleaders . . . the white "K" on blue . . . yelling your heart out . . . losing your head in tense moments . . . defeat hung in the balance ... or VICTORY . . . wondering if the strain on the heart, the sore throat . . . were worth it . . . REMEMBER?
. . . And the PARTIES . . . after the game ... or a particularly strenuous week . . . how you celebrated . . . you knew not what . . . but there must have been something to celebrate ... or you wouldn't have felt that way . . . friendly groups around crowded tables . . . the jokes and small talk . . . cooling off between dances ... all work and no play was in bad taste, as well as the zenith of trite expressions . . . but is seemed to explain your feelings . . . REMEMBER?
1 ALWAYS IN THE SOCIAL WHIRL . .
. . . With soft lights, sweet music . . . Mardi Gras Queen Ann Guthrie . . . and our most popular prof, "Rex" Mclntyre . . . the craze for different decorations . . . the Theta shoe . . . the scramble for balloons . . . crushed orchids on the wrong shoulder ... a plunging neckline, the topic of conversation ... a queen for each dance, a must . . . steering clear of stag-lines . . . no-breaks . . . filled dance programs . . . flowing gowns, stiff shirts . . . and sometimes, stiffs . . . intermission hours . . . the maze of Spring formals . . . the Union returned to Vogue . . . white jackets, an easy target for kiss-proof lips . . . having your girl stay in town . . . breakfast at Comer's . . . the Rockhouse . . .
. . . Our bid to the Orange Bowl was a bid to a party . . . Miami was taken by storm . . . palm trees, parades, and pretty girls . . . trying for a Florida tan . . . the disappointment at defeat . . . New Year's Eve . . .   LOOKING BACK . . WE'LL REMEMBER

HOLIDAY!!
  TYPICAL ED & CO-ED
Here are the typicals . . . "Ed" and "Co-ed". UK's most representative this year were Mary Mc-Kinley, Delta Delta Delta, and Frank Bassett, Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

 FAMILIAR SCENES, INDELIBLE MEMORIES . . .
. . . Looking back, in 1960, at Kentucky in 1950 . . . our precious college years . . . we'll remember all the little things that helped to make our college careers . . . the best years of our lives . . . unpleasant associations will have vanished . . . sorrows will have been forgotten . . . tests and tools . . . restrictions and regulations . . . will be pressed into the unconscious . . . ONLY the joys, the accomplishments, the happy hours as care-free students . . . will remain . . . familiar scenes, indelible memories . . . engraved forever in our hearts. WE'LL REMEMBER . . . AND FEEL GLAD!

On the runway, a beauty stands . . . lovely Kathleen Carter ... all eyes upon her shining gown ... a lucky number on the white card she carried . . . was picked a winner . . . and joins the ranks of famous KENTUCKIAN beauties. The Tri-Delts, whom Kathy represented, were hardly surprised ... for beauty like this is hard to overlook. WE HAD AN EYE FOR BEAUTY . . .
. . . And pretty girls were hardly hard to find ... so numerous were they, we had queens for everything . . . but above and beyond the rest, stood the coveted honor of being chosen for the KENTUCKIAN beauty court . . . unquestioned distinction . . . pride of every mother's son in a cord coat, commonly called a student . . . the rivalry this year was heated . . . sororities squealed as one voice when their candidate ... in filmy gown . . . ambled down the runway at Memorial Hall . . . the field totaled thirty-one . . . but only the seven luscious lovelies on these pages . . . were in the money . . . Dolls, man, DOLLS!
. . . The judges . . . Frances Mason, fashion co-ordinator for H&S Pogue Company, Cincinanti . . . L. P. Gorian, director of the Fred Astaire Dance Studios, Cincinnati . . . Wanda Boyd, advertising manager for Wolf-Wile Company . . . and Fred Fugazzi, Lexington city commissioner . . . showed good taste ... as any fool can plainly see.

AND cracked the plaster of the Union's tired, sound-proof ballroom.
. . . Portraits of the beauties . . . on the following pages . . . were taken by BARTON BATTAILE, Lexington photographer who also has an eye for beauty.
The seven beauties . . . after the Lamp & Cross sponsored contest . . . managed a charming smile . . . after an evening of charming smiles . . . from their ranks, would be picked a Queen . . . and ONLY the judges knew.
And beauty was crowned at the Lamp & Cross dance ... it took L&C prexy Nichols and Editor Patrick to place the crown on Queen Pat's lovely head . . . and even so, they got it crooked . . . efficiency ... so rarely seen. WITH   PRIDE, WE PRESENT
The 1950 Kentuckian
PATRICIA MOORE CHI OMEGA

Pat likes painting, sewing, and horseback riding . . . crazy for salt-water sports ... a touch of temper seldom shown . . . energetic and studious . . . soft-spoken, with a contagious laugh and instant, piercing charm . . . she reigns with grace. THE TITLE CHANGES
Like her predecessor, Miss Nancy Brewer, Kappa Alpha Theta from Mayfield, Pat took the campus by storm when she enrolled as a freshman last fall. A Lexington Herald-Leader photographer, impressed with her striking beauty, plastered her all over the Sunday picture section as the typical coed arriving at UK. Since then, nobody has made the mistake of calling Pat typical. Sweet and unassuming, in spite of her great popularity and KENTUCKIAN fame, her Patt Hall neighbors regard her as nothing less than a goddess. Modest to the point of distraction, loyal and completely sincere, sparkling wit, hard-working, and above all, BEAUTIFUL, Pat represents the perfect fusion of brains and beauty in the modern American girl.
Kentucky's top two beauties, Pat and Nancy chatter like ordinary coeds in the Fine Arts Lounge. Dream-children of Chi Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta, respectively, lucky is the college man who squires either of these comely coeds to a campus function. FIRST ATTENDANT CAROLYN CRITCHLOW

DEAN OF MEN
DR. ALBERT DENNIS KIRWAN
It is not an uncommon sight for Dean Kirwan to lope across campus at his standard business-like pace, smiling cheerily and calling by name the students he meets. And perhaps, it is this phenomenal memory for names, and a native friendliness, that have brought "Ab" Kirwan such great popularity.
Looking more the athlete than the dean. Dr. Kirwan has nevertheless proved his prowess in both fields. Head football coach at the University from 1938-44, he was appointed Dean of Men in June 1947.

DISTINGUISHED EDUCATORS ON THE JOB  We Divided Oar Interests
. . . and our time . . . but NEVER our loyalty ... by taking on untold activities. We were "joiners" to the hilt, and four o'clock sessions at the Union were our meat. We were "in training" for leadership . . . prospective campus wheels. The points we argued . . . the causes we championed . . . the keys we cherished . . . were probably unimportant . . . but "belonging" was part of our education.

 Student Government Association
The Student Government Association was installed on the University campus in 1939. It replaced a divided system in which men were represented by a Men's Student Government Council and women by a Women's Self-Governing System.

The constitution drawn up then was revised in 1943 and the revised constitution is now in effect.
The Student Government Assembly is composed of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and twenty-nine members selected by and from the various colleges at elections held during the first and second semesters. The president and secretary of the Student Union Board and the president and secretary of the House Presi-
dents' Council are ex-officio non-voting members. Three non-voting faculty members recommended by the Assembly and appointed by the University faculty, also attend Assembly meetings.
Purpose: To act as the responsible authority in relations among student organizations; to act jointly with the University staff in matters affecting common interests; and to advise, request, and recommend action with respect to matters of the Student Government Association to promote projects that are of interest to the student body.
