Kentucky fans know a year can make a difference. This time last
season Adolph Rupp's door boasted its famous "We're Number One"
sticker. This year the sticker is gone.

The Cats Finish Even
For Rupp's Worst Year

But the very big difference was that the Wildcats were giving
their all just so they could finish even on the season instead of in
the hole.

It was the worst season ever for a Kentucky team under Adolph
Rupp in the more than 30 years the Man in the Brown Suit has
presided over Kentucky basketball.
But it had been Rupp himself who predicted the doom that was
to come.

As he deplaned from the Cats' Middle East trip late last summer,
Rupp drawled, "We're not going to be as strong this year as last."
The fans only smiled. They knew his public modesty and, after

The fans cheered just the same Monday night, but everyone

up a lottery. "I suspect we'll

Sen. Richard B. Hussell,

"While I appreciate the President's interest and desire to extend the law," Rep. Herbert

the Congress should discharge
this responsibility to the fullest."
The attitude of Rivers and
Hebcrt toward the President's

most significant congressional reaction of the day by observers.

the present law or to enact new
draft provisions by June 30.

Rep. William H. Rates of Massachusetts, the senior Republican

Both Rivers and Hebcrt made
clear that as of Monday they intended to follow the recommendations made by an
draft panel headed by retired
Cen. Mark Clark.
The Clark panel was created
to advise the House committee
and to offer recommendations independent of the presidential

Under the new system, all
men would be examined to determine their physical and mental fitness soon after they reached
the age of 18.
Then, each year all those
found eh'giblc who reached the
age of 19 (or used up their deferments) before a designated
date would be placed in a selection pool, probably a single
pool for the entire country.
Through some random system,
or lottery, the men in the pool
would be placed into an order
of call, and would be informed
of their standing on the list.
They would then be summoned to duty in that order,
for induction at age 19, to fill
the draft calls issued by the
Department of Defense. Those
not reached in this call-uperiod
would drop to a much less vulnerable position on the list as
an entirely new group of eligible men entered the pool.
Since the pool of eligible men
in any year is not likely to be
exhausted, except in a war much
larger than the one now being
fought in Vietnam, the men on
the bottom half of the list would
be virtually exempt. Only after
all eligible

President Johnson announced
Monday that while he was continuing undergraduate deferments until further discussion
takes place, he was ordering an
end to graduate school deferments except for medical and dental students.

Mr. Rivers also said: "We have
got to consider very fully occupational deferments. We have to
take into consideration our future chaplains and preachers and
other people like that."
President Johnson did not
mention occupational deferments
in the message, but White House
officials said the President intends to end them, as his advisory commission has recom-

mended.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy,
one of the leading Senate
advocates of draft reform, praised
the President's draft message as
"a sensible plan to bring out
antiquated draft laws up todate."

the draft lottery ordered by President Johnson.

Mr. Johnson sent his special
message to Congress from his
ranch near here. He said his
planned executive actions, combined with a few legislative actions that he urged Congress to
take, would revamp the
draft system and meet the
widespread concern that it has
"drifted from the original con-

uncertainties confronting the
men, their families or employers;
it would greatly reduce claims
for dependency and occupational
deferments, and it would give
the armed forces younger men,
who have been found generally
more adaptable than older recruits.

Graduate students would probably be allowed to complete work

Time On Our Hands
It appears that the hassle over
whether Kentucky should remain
on Standard Time or switch to
Daylight Saving Time during the
period from the last Sunday in
April to the last Sunday in October will continue for at least
another year. This is fortunate,
for the legislature will have additional time to disseminate pertinent facts relating to the issue.
According to a federal law, all
states are to go on Daylight Saving
Time the last Sunday in April unless state legislatures meet and
decide to the contrary. This poses

It is believed that the Department of Transportation, needing
time to get itself organized, will
not be so pushy in the time question as is the ICC.
We reiterate what was said
in an earlier editorial: the solution to Kentucky's time question
will be made much easier and
fairer for all if first the legislature
puts the entire state in either the
Central or Eastern Time zones.
If Kentucky were in the Eastern
Time zone, Daylight Time would
likely not be desirable. But if all
the Commonwealth were on Central Time, Daylight Time would
probably be a convenience for most
people during the summer months.
It is this second measure Central Time for all with six months
of Daylight Time which we advocate most strongly.

'War9 Over Representation

To the Editor of the Kernel:
Once upon a time in a land
not too far from hete, there was a
small country with a large problem. The problem was the small
country had a civil war. Oh, not
a bloody war, but an argumentative war over representation.

In this country there were three
classes of people. The vast majority were scattered all over the countryside and their being so far apart
caused them to have problems getting together on issues.

The second class lived in

housing projects,
only the young and inexperienced
were allowed to live in the projects they lacked leadership and
unity.

semester before Christmas, alleviating the two weeks that always
seemed to be wasted after the holidays and before exams; a Spring
vacation at a convenient time during the second semester, and early
dismissal opening a wider range
of summer jobs for the "early

birds."

One change which we propose
in the current calendar is that Labor
Day be eliminated as a holiday
and that this holiday be added
to the Thanksgiving vacation.
There is no need for a holiday in
September four days after classes

The war was caused because
the many wanted to have a say
while the few had the unity to
elect. For years the many had at-- ,
tempted to ignore the rule of the
few, but year after year the many
saw that sooner or later the sysknit groups

Every so often the many tried
to get together, but many of the
many felt that it was hopeless and
did not join in, and when this did
happen, the few, because of their

unity, appealed to the projects,
who, because of their disunity and
inexperience, followed the few.
Then there came a terrible day
when the many did unite and they
turned out the few from every office and they, with the aid of a
powerful nearby country called t,
distorted the few palaces and
put projects in their places.
The moral of the story is that
if the few gave in a little and allowed a system of representation,
they would still have a major role,
because they would have their countryside members elected and the
palaces
