an extremely sensitive antenna eight miles east of
I rxington.
On February 12. during the ecning. Humphrey
noticed a series of
sounds occurring on
a certain
band.
After Mullowe copied the sounds on a wire recorder, the two students began transmitting a tight
beam "of patterns psychologically aimed at acknowledging their message."
Neither Mullowe nor Humphrey would divulge
the nature of their coding, but Kernel reporter Jim
Crawford said he saw a "pint-size- d
computing system" which probably is used in sending and receiving the messages.
Humphrey said the FIJI has been Informed of the
messages and that "we'll probably spend the next
20 years under n security wrap."
The last message received by Humphrey and Mullowe was on March 28.
According to Mullowe. the second message read:
"Earthmen! May we of outer space congratulate
you on being the victims of a cosmic April Fool's
joke. Sincerely yours, the space wizards of the Kentucky Kernel."
The only name in this story which is not fictitious
is that of Jim Crawford. He is real.

told Kernel reporters they managed to establish
radio contact with people of an unidentified origin
early this year.
The two students said their equipment consist
of refined and modified micro-wav- e
receivers, operating on higher frequencies than radio transmission utilized on earth.
Mullowe, f transfer student from the Southern
California Institute of Radio Technology, said the
messages received pn the micro-wav- e
set were in
code, but that he and Humphrey had managed to
decode them.
According to Humphrey, the messages originated
"either in deep space or from a craft in the solar
system."
It was assumed, Mullowe said, that the messages
were intended for earth reception, since they "seem
to be headed this way in tight beams."
The first message received. Mullowe said this
week, consisted of "a pattern of code signals that
seemed to be sent solely for the purpose of showing
they were intelligent messages being sent for our
acknowledgement."
This is the description of the discovery and decoding of the first message as given by the two stu-

dents:

The first thought that corner into our mind upon entering
college is, of course, marriage. Hut how many of u go about
seeking mates, as I like to call them, in a truly scientific manner?
Not many, you may bo sure. Most of us simply marry the first
person who comes along. This can lead to unpleasant consequences, especially if the person we marry is already married.
Let us today make n scientific survey of the three principle
causes of marriage -- homogamy, personality need, and propinquity. We will examine these, one nt n time.

Homogamy means the attraction of like for like. In marriage
it is rarely opposites which attract; the great majority of people
choose mates who resemble themselves in taste, personality,
outlook, and, perhaps most important of all, cultural level.
Take, for example, the case of two students of a few years
ago named Anselm Glottis and Florence Catapult. Anselm fell
madly in love with Florence, but she rejected him because she
was majoring in the Don Juanian Poets and ho was in the lowly
school of .forestry. After graduation Anselm got a job as :i
forest ranger. Still determined to win Florence, he read every
single Don Juanian Poet cover to cover while sitting in his?
lookout tower.
His plan, alas, miscarried. Florence, sent on a world cruise
as a graduation present, picked up the betel nut habit in the
body and soul together by
Indies. Today, a derelict,
working as a sampan off Mozambique. And Anselm. engrossed
in the Don Juanian Poets, failed to notice a forest fire which
destroyed 29,000,000 acres of second growth blue spruce. Today,
a derelict, he teaches llcrrick and Lovelace at the Connecticut
School of Mines.

Debaters

The second reason why

people marry, personality need, means

that you often choose a mate because he or she possesses certain
qualities that complete and fulfill your own personality. Take,
for instance, the case of Alanson Duck. As a freshman, Alanson
made a fine scholastic record, played varsity lacrosse, and was
very popular with his fellow students. Yet Alanson was not
happy. There was something lacking in his life, something vague
and indefinable that was needed to make his personality complete.
Then one day Alanson discovered what' it was. As he wan

Propinquity, the third cause of marriage, means closeness. Put

will almost surely get married. A perfect example is the case of

Honor System Plan Is Needed
i

The Student Government Association deckled last fall to have the students vote on
whether they want an honor system at UK
during the spring election.
So far nothing has been decided about the
form, the details, the integration of an honor
system at UK. How can students vote on
something they know so little about?
Although there have been discussions in
the Y and in the League of Women Voters
meetings on this subject, nothing concrete
has been decided a 'id the spring SGA balloting is only littlo over a month away.
The idea of establishing such, a system at
UK first arose last spring during SGA discussions about campus cheating. After investigation by the faculty and students, a report was submitted to the faculty by this
committee. The report was read in SGA and
printed in the Kernel. Nothing has been
done since then.
Those in favor of the honor system feel
this would eliminate a great deal of cheating
and would create a feeling of loyalty among
the student body.
Those opposed to the idea do not think
this system would eliminate cheating in such
a heterogeneous group as a state university.
They feel that those who do cheat would do
so even under an honor system.
Suggestions . of having students sign a
pledge not to cheat, turning in those seen
cheating, using old tests, and orienting the
freshmen have all been considered pro and

He added that the religious school produced
the greatest group of intelligent men and
women.
We disagree.
We attend a state university and not a
religious college. We feel that our college
and university provides as high a moral code
and social standing as any other school.
Although the students at UK come from
every walk of life and are not selected as
they are in religious schools, they live in an
atmosphere of good conduct and behavior
that is encouraged by the administration and
maintained by the students. Good scholarship and men and women of outstanding
intellect arc found in every part of our university. The achievements of UK graduates

prove their adequate background and training.

The university has always had strict rules
alxnit drinking for the students. The only
obvious drinking has been at football games
and this is for the most part not the students,
spectators.
but
relations between men and women
The
are as healthy and wholesome here as they
are or could be in any society where men
and women are associated. They learn to
get along and to work together in classes,
on dates, and at planned parties. This is
accomplished in a normal and natural way
which enables them to become better adjusted for their future lives.
In the line of scholarship our university
is well equipped to provide every opportunity for the students, not only in class work,
but also in the concert and lecture series.
Only such an institution as ours can afford

con. Honor system may or may not entail
some or all of these plans.
Discussions have also included plans for
being abl to leave books anywhere and finding them when returning, smoking in buildings on campus, giving women students more
privileges and encouraging freshmen beanies
and interclass rivalry.
Many people feel that through freshmen
orientation and indoctrination students could
be led to accept and abide by the regulations
of honesty and school spirit. Many others
feel that just through the freshmen indoctri-

nation nothing could le accomplished other
than discriminating against the freshmen.
Although these matters have been discussed back and forth during the past year,
the Student Government Association has not
yet drawn up any definite plan for the students to vote on in the coming election.
It would be difficult, probably impossible,
for the students to fairly decide. how they
feel about any issue that is as vague as this
one.

With the election weeks away, there is still
time for the students to be adequately informed about the details and form of the
honor system proposed.
After all of the discussion that has gone
on about honor systems, SGA should be able
to formulate the type of honor system they
want to present to the student body. Only
if the Student Government Association does
present a definite plan can it expect a valid
response in the election.

TV Commentator Is All Wet
Church and religious colleges were stated
to be more moral, of higher standards, and
better training grounds for young men and
women on a TV program recently.
The commentator was stressing the importance of choosing the right college for
higher education. He said that denominational campuses did not allow or countenance the "excessive drinking,-- ' or "intimate

to offer such a wide variety of the best in
higher education and culture to its students.
It does not seem fair to us that such programs as this TV show should .reflect universities not under religious control in a bad
light. Although there were no direct accusations, the implications were pointed enough
to be definitely unfavorable, especially when
heard by people all over the state who do
not know the actual conditions that exist on
the" stateiniversitynTpTis
Some of the strongest organizations on our
campus are the religious groups. Every denomination is represented here and each has
its own student organization. These groups
are active and include the majority of UK
students. This situation, too, seems to be
a healthy one, because it gives the students
knowledge and tolerance of religious beliefs
other than their own.
For these reasons, we feel that false information concerning "excessive drinking,"
relations," and scholastic
"intimate boy-gistandings on
campuses
is unfair and misleading.

Long Live Honoraries!
By RAY HORNBACK

Last week, a jjroup of 14 students brought to the UK campus
one of the outstanding Dixieland
bands in the nation, "Papa" John
Gordy's group from the Celtic
Room in Nashville.
The students,

members
Keys,

sopho-mor- e

men's

honorary, planned to foot the
hill for such
top-not-

en-

tertainment
through gate
receipts. But
they didn't

quite make it.
The crowd wasn't as big as they
had anticipated. They were faced
with the realization that "Papa"
John would have to be paid out of
the pockets of the 14 Keys members.

The boys made a plea to the
crowd. to pitch inandhelpmake
up the difference. A black silk hat
was placed in the center of the
ballroom, "Papa" ' John gave put
with a tender melody, and dancing couples filled the hat with

coins.
At the last count, the 14 Keys
members did not have to dig Into
their own pockets to square things

with probably the most entertaining band soon on the UK campus
this year.
We would like to commend the
group for having guts enough to
attempt the project. And we also
feel that the students who contributed over and above the $2.00
admission fee deserve a big pat on
the back. It shows that there can
bo cooperation on the UK campus.
But does it always have to come
through necessity, need, or as a
last result?

funds (which meant your old man
had to be loaded). And finally,

each new member must swear to
uphold the interests of the honorary at all times( which meant that
a member must enter all. brawls
which resulted from nightly meetings).

For a while, Locks seemed, to
have the right combination on the
UK campus. They annually sponsored a Locks billiard tourney with
profits going to the haute for aged
SGA members, a scholarship for
the freshman with the most, grill
hours, and once they led a movement for better cartoons at the
downtown movies.
But their downfall came when

In-twee wee hours of the
morning, there was only one group
left Locks. The fine Irish lads
were still competing, but with
themselves.
For weeks afterwards, --a. Locks
member was not seen on campus.
Students, deans, and parents began to wonder.
But finally, a letter arrived from
the president of Locks, lie said
the group had decided to go on
tour, with their eventual goal the
Ivy League.
The boys found that the UK
competition was entirely too weak,
and they felt that by returning to
the locale in which Locks was
founded, they would scare up some
decent competition.
The last we heard of them, they
were still going strong.

Sheer Torture

It seems that Locks was com
