Parking Dilemma
'there's

',

rumor going around that the University may try
to prohibit students iroin bringing cars to school with them.
parking
Supposedly, this would solve the
problem.
.The rule has been in effect for several years for freshmen
and sophomores.
Whether or not there is any aruth in the rumor, the Ker
nel wishes to express its opposition to any such move. It will
solve nothing and will work innumerable hardships.
The majority oFtlie ears parked on campus belong to the"
staff, faculty, university employees and daily commuters.
'Most of the student cars parked on campus belong to people who live across town or in oner of the nearby towns.
What would be the results if such a ruling were made?
It might have a little effect on the daily parking problem,
but the difference would be negligible. The Coliseum and
football crowds would continue to cause parking woes.
students would find it necessary to ride a bus
everytime they wished to go downtown or home. Dating would
' become a problem. Too, their wouldn't be enough places within walking distance to solve that problem and the administration will do nothing about providing a night-gril- l.
jobs across town or who need
Students who have part-timtheir car in carrying out the job would be without work.
There is another solution, at least a temporary one, which
has been sidelined on several occasions. Each time this proposal has been made a committee to study it has been apanypointed. That's the most effective way to pigeon-holthing.
The proposal is this.
The intramural field and part of the baseball field could
parkor more, concrete, open-ai- r
be used to build a
ing lot. It could be financed by floating a bond issue and it
wouldn't be very difficult to sell bonds- on such a project.
Charge students five dollars a semester for day parking and
during football games and Coliseum events charge one dollar
per car. Surely, it wouldn't require many more than ten years
to pay for it.
That would allow students to park near the campus and
do away with the bad public relations for the University typified by the private citiens charging 'one dollar to park in a
'yard six blcxks from the event..
for being so
Some people will criticize the Kernel-staf- f
presumptuous as to think they can solve a problem which has
plagued the school for years but which the administration
couldn't solve. They may be justified.
But it's about time someone did something instead of talking about it. Taking the cars away from the students isn't the
'answer, certainty tne aDove suggestion is a possiDie soiuuon
worth considering.

Dr. Dickey is attending a meeting this week of the presidents ol "Southeastern Conference schools.
-- At this
conference one of the principal issues will be
to revive the Southeastern Conference basketball tourna- rs
agoi- ment which was done away- - with a
The latest count showed that the majority of the coaches
favored 'it. There are any number of motives for reviving the
tourney.
Several of the weaker' schools would like to see it start
anew becausq in tourney play anyone of them might knock
off Kentucky, thus giving one of them a chance to go to the
NCAA tourney. As it stands now, the regular season play decides-that
issue and lew schools have much of a chance of beating the Wildcats.
Other schools are interested because of the money which
the tourney puts in their rollers. And it might be a considerable amount if the meet is held in Memorial Coliseum or
Louisville's Freedom Hall.
Dr. Dickey opposes it because, he says, it will mean that
the players will miss three or four more das of classes. That
could work a hardship on many of them.
- We support Dr. Dickey in his stand and aclcLpn "amen" to
the one Coach Rupp uses. He says, "why throw away three
months work for three nights' play."
That's a possibility. The Wildcats can probably beat any
team in the conference twice, but it's asking too much of any
team to expect them to beat the same club a third time in

TcTTheEditor:

There was a fairly popular song
a few years ago which had some
lyrics in it that went something
like, "This is a wonderful opporbulihat
tunity for somebody
somebody ain't gonna be me!!"
This pretty well sums up the
general attitude one finds on the
college campuses when you start
talking about the critical need for

such things as science and math
people for the nation's oncoming
struggle to maintain it's independence (perhaps it's existence!).
In a way, it's hard to blame
anyone for feeling this way. After
all, after a person has set his
course in a certain direction and
has decided what he wants to do
in life, it would be hard, very hard,
for him to change to a field that
he would be less satisfied in.
Yet anyone who will take even
a little peek at the number and
quality of science and math teachers, will shudder in horror when
he stops to consider that, this is
our answer to Russian scientific-militar- y
momentum. I don't mean
to critize our present teachers;
many of them are intelligent people, hardly less patriotic than Sam
Adams himself. But the fact remains there are far too few.
This is by far not the only field.
Take a look at the lack of technicians, for example.
Money alone can't buy these
people. We need them; and the
worst of it is-- we need them now!

Law Student Defends 'Stylus, Blasts Kernel Editor
(Ed. Note: This article Is In defense of Stylus which
was reviewed here last week by the editor. Mr. Galphin
is a law student. The views herein expressed are those
of Mr. Galphin and do not in any way reflect those of
the Kernel.)
By MILLEDGE GALPIIIV
Mr. Strunk has made five assertions that deserve comment: (1) that the "sketches" in Stylus are amateurish;
(2) that he cannot understand the portions of Stylus that
he has actually read; (3) that although he may be '"disgustingly dense and insensitive to the finer things'", he
has "become somewhat immune to criticism"; (4) that
the point" is that one may buy a copy of a work by
Hemingway for the same price.
Mr. Strunk is doubtless correct in his assertion that
the "sketches" in Stylus are amateurish. One could
hardly expect to read in an undergraduate publication
literary work, of a professional nature. Yet, I believe that
such creative efforts have value. Matthew Arnold once
eaid:

The value of fiction and poetry lies in their power to

relations. Ever individual perforce sees
its infinite
feels these relations in a different manner. To ignore
creative efforts is to ignore to some extent the universe;
to discourage them, is to discourage man's true function.
It is indeed sad that Mr. Strunk found the "sketches"
utterly incomprehensible. It was indeed unwise cf Mr.
Strunk to close Stylus so abruptly, simply because of its
immediate incomprehensibility. He has perhaps closed
many professional works for the same reason. He should
have remembered that the import of fiction and poetry
is not as obvious as that of a newspaper article. Similarly,
a painting is enjoyed only after an extended scrutiny,
while a cartoon conveys a sudden impact of meaning that
the most senseless individual can understand.
Mr. Strunk indicates that because of hLs pristine
clarity, he has "become somewhat immune to criticism".
Having read this statement. I realize that my comments
will be largely ineffective. But since Mr. Strunk has so
thoughtfully reflected upon the inadequacies . of Stylus
and in particular upon the style employed in the essay
n William Faulkner, it teems only fair to point out the

brilliant style of Mr. Strunk himself. Of course, there Is
no doubt about its clarity. To achieve this quality, he
must have found the phraseology of his grammar school
pa pershelpful." "Maybe so", he says and. "Anyway", and
then, overpowered with childish exultation: "I really
shouldn't gripe, though. My copy of Stylus didn't cost
me anything. A lot of people paid a quarter."
But "the point" of his what shall l" say article H
that one may buy a copy of a book by Hemlnirway for
the same price. With the assertion of what appears to be
his main and most important point. Mr. Strunk has forsaken all clarity, for at the beginninr of his article he
assured us that the price of Stylus was nominal. Whatever Mr. Strunk may mean, an evaluation of Stylus by its
price is superficial.
Of course, we get "more" for our money from the
Kernel than from even a twenty-fiv- e
cent copv of
Hemingway. The former is free and after a joyful reading, it serves as excellent wrapping paper.
Of Mr. Strunk's two views that the price of twenty-fiv- e
cents is nominal and that it is extravagant I prefer
to accept the former one and, I hope that Stjtu fcltfU
continue to appear.

The Collece of Encineeriiu U
well represented in Kentucky's efforts to emphasize engineering in
the hiah schools.
Through Terrell's efforts, the
Committee for
of
the Future Engineers Club was
formed. This organization is made
up of the Kentucky Society of
Professional Engineer members
throughout the state.
The College of Engineering ha3
five members on the committee in
addition to Terrell, the Chairman.
They are: L. C. Pendley. M. K.
Marshall, J. S. Jackson, Jr., E. M.
Spokes, and S. C. Hite.
The main concern of the committee is the students who have
qualifications and interest in the
field of engineering, but do not
have the opportunity to study scientific subjects in high schools,
because the courses are not offered.
Terrell said. "When the Guidance Committee of K.S.P.E. was
organized several years ago it was
found that many of our own high
school graduates were not prepared tcrentera 'college "of engl
neering due to the poor preparation in mathematics and science."'
He said. "Everyone who wants to
study engineering should have the
opportunity to get the proper
background."
Future Engineer Clubs have been
organized throughout the state in
an effort to stimulate interest in
engineering among high school
youth, to offer expert advice and
assistance to capable students in
training for an encineering career,
and to give a preview of the engineering p r o f e s s i o n.
"American scientific education is
laggin?. and something must be
done about it", said Terrell.
He said. "Industry, Federal. State
and local units must realize the
shortage of facilities and particularly of well trained teachers for
the sciences and mathematics."
