Misuse Of History
Is Keeent Subject
Of Blazer Lecture
By JEAN KOSENSTOXE

"A tolerance of diversity is the
key to the use of history," Dr. George
Boaz told a Blazer lecture audience
in the Guignol Theater last week.
The Johns Hopkins University professor spoke on "The Misuse of
History."
Dr. Boaz said "to use history
properly we must emphasize the differences between civilizations and
peoples so that some day it will
seem natural that others are not
like us as it now seems unnatural."
Studying similarities is the scientific way to study historical events,
he explained, but this does not seem
to be the best method of our time.
Dr. Boaz said that history is supposed to make us better, but it cannot teach us anything unless events
can be repeated. He illustrated his
point by listing eight wars from
early times to the present.
He said that no one can definitely
tzy where the lateral frontiers of
war leave off. In these days it is
even hard to classify the countries
into combatants and
because the war affects all
nations directly or indirectly.
Dr. Boaz has taught at Johns
Hopkins University since 1921. and
has written several books. He was
introduced by Prof. John Kuiper.
head of the UK Department of
philosophy.

The Student Government As
sociation will meet at 7 p.m.
in Room 128 of the Student
Union, George Lawson, president, announced this week.
Extra cchairs will be set up
for students desiring to attend
the meeting, Lawson said.

If
The University Faculty voted Monday to refer to the
committee an appeal made by the Student Government Association concerning the 1.3 scholastic requirement for fraternities and
sororities.
Dr. l.eo M. Chamlx'rlaiu,
of the University,
stated that the rules committee will hold discussions with fraternity and SGA representatives, and that its findings will lie reported
to the faculty.
Dean of Men A. D. Kirwan told the IFC to handle the job. I think
the SGA last month that the rules that the faculty will agree when
vice-preside-

had been passed beacuse of wide- .pread criticism of the low scholas- tic standing of fraternities, which
av- was below that of the
erage.
,
Commenting on the action taken
by, the faculty. George Lawson, SGA
said. "This action will
give us a better opportunity
to
prove that the Interfraternity Coun- cil is capable of handling the prob- lem. It's difficult for a large group
to consider a matter like this, and
referring it to the rules committee
will assure every fraternity a chance
to be heard and to prove its case."
Cited
Lawson cited the following im- provements as examples of steps
taken by the IFC. independent of
faculty supervision: Reducing the
amount of time devoted to rushing
to about
of the time it
formerly took, requiring a 1.2 stand- ing for eligibility to be initiated,
offering scholarship awards, the in- stigation of quiet hours in fraternity
houses, and changing the schedule
of intramural games to hours early
enough to leave sufficient time for
studying.
"Since these improvements have
been made," Lawson said, "there is
an excellent reason for permitting

to see for itself what it has done."
List of Rules
The text of the rules, passed by
the faculty on April 21. 1952. Is as
follows: Any fraternity or sorority
which has a standing for both
tives and pledges lower than 1.3
will be placed on social probation:
if a fraternity or sorority fails to
making a standing while on social
probation, it will be prohibited from
further pledging or initiation, and
will be called upon to show why its
charter should not be suspended,
If it becomes evident that the
men's average has changed signifi- cantly. the University Faculty may
alter the grade requirements on
recommendation of either the dean
of men or the dean of women: at
the discretion of either the dean of
men or the dean of women, the
same requirements and the same
penalties, as far as possible, may
be applied to any campus organiza- tion or group that has organized

The maximum number of social

Dean White said, "Education on
the college level always involves
certain relations: man in relation
to his physical world, his biological
world, his social world and his rcla- tion to himself. It also involves
learning how to apply a branch of
this knowledge in a specialized field
in order that its students may Liter
earn their own living."
"The operation of WBKY is an
example of these five tasks of a
college." Dean White said, "Stu- dents, who operate the station, are
learning how to make a living. The
programs cover topics from the four
areas of knowledge : The

physical world, the biological world,
the social world and the humaiii-- j

"The programs emphasize the humanities, especially music.

About College Deferments
"Of young Americans between IS and 22, it is a
fact that by and large the richer boys are in college, the poorer are in Korea."
This statement appeared in a Courier-Journeditorial last week, and to us it represents a form
of propaganda. It is an unwarranted assumption
based on irrational thinking.
We were surprised to see such an irrational editorial in a paper of such high quality as the Courier-JournaAccording to recent editorials and a cartoon this week, the paper is apparently trying to
renew an old argument of the ba"le between the
classes the rich and poor.
If only rich boys go to college, then all boys now
in college who work in the cafeterias, have downtown jobs, or are houseboys do it just for fun. They
don't really need the money. They work to occupy their spare time.
The editorial went to this extremity of generalizing in order to put over the point that the present
system on draft deferments is unfair. Assuming
the system is unfair, no system can be devised
which will not be called unfair by someone.

our future. Our today's youths are our tomorrow's
leaders. If every boy graduating from high school
is taken into sen ice and not allowed to attend college, then in future years there will be a decade
in which the educational level of the public will
be lowered. Men will be unqualified to be our

"The boy w ho gets a deferment because his parents can afford to send him to college enjoys a;

Courier editqrial continued. This is as broad as
it is long. Some boys are drafted who never go
overseas and never know any real hardships. On
the other liaud, going to college is not the easiest
thing in the world. It is hard to maintain average
grades, and students now on college deferments
must maintain certain scholastic standings.
College students today are furnishing many of
the officers for the armed forces. All students, except veterans and the physically disabled, are required to take military training at UK and other
land grant colleges for the first two years. Most
of these students continue in advance ROTC, and
upon graduation are commissioned second lieutenants. The service needs these officers. So why
can't they- be trained in college as well as in the
service and at the same time finish their college
education?
It has frequently been stated that boys go to
college to keep out of the war. With a few possible exceptions, we do not believe this is true.
Boys went to college before the war. It would be
logical, therefore, to assume that a number of today's youths still desire to go to college for an education and not just to keep out of the war.

to make an appeal to the Faculty concerning the
ruling.
The Faculty's decision to refer the matter to the
rules committee will give fraternities a better opportunity to present their cases. Lawson explained
this week that the rule committee plans to discuss
the matter with representatives of the various fraternities.
The problem is more serious and important than
may be realized. Dean Kirwan says the reason for
passing the rule was because of adverse criticism
tliroughout the state on the low scholarship of UK
fraternities.
On the other hand, IFC had already set about to
remedy the situation themselves before the University Faculty ruling was passed. The Faculty did
not know of IFC's actions at the time of passing
the rule.
We believe the ruling definitely needs repealing or changing. When the issue is decided, Faculty members should bear in mind that the rule
shows inequality between Greek and independent
students.
