Of Students Eligible To Vote

By CAROLE MAItTfo
Assistant Managing Editor
Over three-fourtof the student at UK will have
the cpportunlty to express their constitutional voting

and returned to the county clerk's office no later than
the day before the election.
This rule applies to voters nslng the absentee ballot
from other states too. There are quite a few out of state
students enrolled at UK who meet the requirements of
their Individual states In regards to voting.
Many Kentucky voters feel the election Is Important
enough to warrant a special trip home.
A Bath county student said he would make the trip
home, rather than vote by absentee ballot, because
election day In his home town was a special thing,
almost a holiday.
Lessley Decker, vice president of the campus Young
Democrats Club, estimated yesterday the number of
students who had their ballots notarized at the ticket
booth in the Student Union Building at 250.
In a poll of registered voters on campus, It was found

Since this election Is one mainly centered around the
gubernatorial race, a large vote Is expected.
Both the Young Democrats and the Young Republicans
Clubs have encouraged the UK vote by sponsoring a
notary public, whose job It Is to notarize absentee ballots.
In order that a person may vote when they are not
within commuting distance of their assigned polling
place, a special form may be obtained from respective
county clerk's offices.
The ballot should be filled out by the voter, notarized

election because of the gubernatorial contest.
voter felt that there would be a larger
turnout in this election because the race would be
tighter due to the split in the Democratic Party.
Agreeing with the Versailles voter, a Lexlngtonian
said the vote would be large because neither faction
could be sure of runaway victory this time.
A graduate student from Paducah said she was voting
in this election for the same reason she voted in every
election. "Everyone eligible should exercise their privilege
and duty to vote so that the results are truly the dicate
of the people of the state.?
Many of the out of state voters aren't too concerned
with this election because in Ohio, Connecticut, and New
Jersey, to name a few, the contests are local rather than

Professor Reeves did not say how
the player was caught, but sources
said football tickets with the
player's name on the back of them
were on his desk.
However, Professor Reeves said
the player has been given an E for

taking.
Sources said that possibly one
or two other players were involved
In the Incident, but the reports
could not be confirmed.
Athletic- - Director Bernie A.
Shively was not available for comment yesterday.

According to reports, however,
the involved player will participate
in tonight's game with Miami,
(Fla.).
A source In the Social Sciences
Building said the personnel there
were "pretty burned up" about the
board's decision.
However, neither Reeves, nor
anyone concerned with the incident was willing to release the de.

cision.

They all agreed that it was an
administrative decision and should
therefore be released by Dean
Martin.

Lack Of Lighting
Last spring the Kernel asked for
better outside lighting on campus and
the University responded with what
they termed 10 well placed lights.
The UK officials also agreed to study
the problem further to see if more

bing of a professor before we get
adequate lighting?
Apparently the only reason UK
officials have not installed more lights
stems from the cost. But cost should

not be any handicap.
With the added load of the

lighting was required.

For a language that is dead and supposedly buried, Latin is indeed a
lively corpse.
The last time anyone took a good
look, Latin was still the second most
popular foreign language taught in
U. S. public high schools.
That was back in 1955, in a
survey by the U. S. Office
of Education. It showed that 20.6
percent of all public high school students were studying a foreign language: 7.3 percent Spanish, 6.9 percent Latin, 5.6 percent French and
enght-tenth- s
of 1 percent German.
Another such survey is now under
way. No change in the standings is
expected when the final results are
in a few months hence, although
Russian a late starter may move
ahead of German.
These figures do not include the
2,458 Catholic high schools in the
country, with their 810,000 students.
In virtually all the Catholic schools
at least two years of Latin is required. Some require four years of
Latin for graduation.

of classics at George Washington

University, is one of the many who
think the study of Latin in public
schools is reviving by leaps and
bounds.
"Every Latin teacher I've talked
to," he says, "rejwrts an increase in
the number of Latin students. If we
had the teachers available, I'm sure
the number of high school students
studying Latin would double in the
next 3 to 4 years.
"The booming interest in Russian
(from a handful of school to more
than 400 in two yean) has carried all
other foreign languages along with it,
including Latin. And Latin is good
preparation for any language, par
ticularly Russian."
"Greek has fallen on evil days,"
says Dr. Latimer.
From colonial times down to about
1950, Latin and Greek were the
languages to study, with Latin by
far the more popular. Between 1850
and 1890, both languages went into
a decline. Greek never recovered, but
Latin made a strong comeback.
"Except for World War I." Dr.
Latimer say?, "German would undoubtedly have replaced Latin as the
most popular high school foreign
language. World War II made it a
the most jHpular by a narrow margin.

to poet laureate Fred Waddell. To
him I offer merely an explanation of
how this wonderous work of art came
to be misinterpreted.
This misinterpretation occurred
upon reading the segment of Mr.
Waddell's letter that dedicated his
verse to "all the (Mr. Waddell's quotation marks here) 'campus flowers'
who fall into this category." It was the
mental insertion of accentuation on
the particular segment 'into this category' that threw me off the track.
Obviously I should have known that
an artiste like Fred would never commit the literary sin of straying from
his proposed theme. But the aforementioned segment and his poetic
symbolism that followed left me
I thought he referred to the
team as it ran its mile
course across the campus.
But such was not the case and I so
humbly offer an explanation of the
genesis of this misconstruence. I
should have known that a writer of
Fred's caliber would never lodge a
protest unjustifiably.
I am grateful that his "day" was a

success.' With all sincerity I contem-

plate the projosition of setting aside
every Friday of 1959 as a day for
every "rough and ready" coed to
honor such an esteemed literary figure: This time we should try to interpose the effect of the Boy Scouts' honoring the president rather than our
'
previous theme.
I certainly hope that ray misinterpretation will not affect the development of sucji poetic potentiality. Remember that the artiste is always misunderstood by the bourgeosie. Just recall, Fred, how your fellow poets, Walt
Whitman and Oscar Wilde, were misunderstood.
So don't give up, keep writing,
Freddy, boy.
Your unjust persecuting critic,

every resident of Cooperstown goes
along with me in saying "Brother,
you hit the nail on the head" with
the cartoon in Thursday's edition of
the Kernel.
The cartoon expresses most aptly
our situation as all arguments against
the rent increase of the past semester
were tokenly accepted and then completely disregarded, the reason being
as staged in the caption of your cartoon f'Don't worry, they'll have their
hands tied."
This is but so true as I was one
who personally presented our case
to Governor Chandler, later to President Dickey, Vice President Peterson, and the1 Executive Board of
Trustees. In reaching a decision. the
rent was increased. Apparently the
administration didn't figure on the
50 plus Boy Scouts who were able to
untie the knots from their hands, as
evidence by the 50 plus empty apartments in the project at the beginning
"
'
of the semester.
