for the alumni of the department.
This year's edition, fresli off the mimeograph, was sent
to around Gf'O former students and faculty members all
over the United States and in several foreign rountries.
The newsletter digests the year's events on state. Lexington, and University levels and cotains a directory of
the department's alumni, listing their jobs, addresses,

whom they married, and even the number, names and
birthdays of their children.
Putting the newsletter together Is quite a task, botlr
editorially and mechanically, but Dr. Scherago feels It
is well worth It.
The degree or response to the newsletter Is high, as
evidenced by the large number of persons who return

sometime before Christmas.
Missing from the Sigma Nu
house is $65 in cash, one sport
coat, an electric razor, a portable clock, a portable radio, two
shirts, one pair of shoes, a pair
of trousers, three boxes of cuff

Brabson expressed the belief
that only one man had forced
his way into the house, because,
"he only took one" of each of the
items.

a diamond, worth $90 was taken
from her desk in the office.
Taking her ring off and putting it in her billfold, then placing both in her purse, Miss Marsh
went to another room to do some
filing. Then she drove downtown. When she returned and
looked into her wallet to get
change the ring was gone.
"Nobody knew the ring was in
the wallet," so Miss Marsh believes that someone saw her put
it in the purse, or saw it lying
open on the desk and picked it up.
A telephone mounted in the

was taken during the Christmas holidays.
Housemothers at the women's

The companion of former UK
basketball player Howard Dardeen
was cleared Wednesday of charges
of a jewelry theft in Las Vegas.
Jay Stephen Ranes, 18. of Terre
Haute, Ind., was cleared Dec. 30
after telling his story of the Aug.
19 theft of $20,000 worth of jewels
from the Las Vegas home of Mrs.
Harold Miller.
Dardeen, 20, a member of last
season's basketball squad, was
placed on probation.
Ranes' attorney argued that
son of the
Mike Miller,
alleged victim,
had given the
jewelry to Dardeen to help finance
a trip to Mexico City.
Police said the youth prompted
Miller to ask his parents to help

finance the trip to Mexico.
While Miller talked to his mother
about the money, the suspects reportedly went into a bedroom and
then fled with the jewelry. They
were arrested soon afterward at a
motel.
According to Lexington Attorney
Jori: Y. Brown, the court was of
the opinion that the incident was
a prank rather than an offense.
ts
With this implication, both
are freed of charges.
Dardeen. however, had pled guilty and we 3 placei on a year's probation.
According to Nevada law, he may
withdraw his plea after Sept. 10.
It is possible, says Brown, to get
the felony charge off for Dardeen
before that time.
When he is cleared. Dardeen will
be eligible to return to UK.

Engineering Professor
Gets Year's Study Grant

AEC Grants $11,895 To UK

For Plant Feeding Research
A UK researcher will try to discover the calcium-feedin- g
patterns
of plants by use of a one-ye$11,895 grant from the Atomic En-erCommission.
Dr. Herbert Massey, associate
professor of soils and an agronomist in the College of Agriculture,
wHl carry out the project announced last week by the Kentucky Research Foundation, administrator
ol the contract.
"Strontium, contained in radioactive fallout from atomic and hydrogen bombs, is taken up by
plants in the same manner as calcium," said Dr. Massey.
ar

gy

'Determining the calcium-feedin- g
pattern of plants will also determine how they will feed on
strontium.
"The information we turn up will
be valuable to researchers who are
working in the areas of human
consumption which have eaten the

plants."
By determining soil levels at
which plants obtain their calcium,
researchers will be able to predict
the amount of strontium that will

taken up by them, Massey said.
Another object of the research is
to help understand the problems of
calcium supply in the soil in order
to establish better liming recommendations for farmers.
Radioactive calcium, imbedded
at various levels in the soil, will be'
used to measure the feeding patterns.
The researcher will work with
potted plants in the laboratory
first before Injecting the radioactive material into the soil beside plants in the field.
"The amount of radioactive calcium tken up by the plant can be
easily measured with the use of a
Geiger tube in the laboratory,"
Massey said.
"By tracing the plant's history
back to find the depth in the soil
at which the radioactive material
had been imbedded, we can determine what percentage of this calcium the plant obtained from a
certain level." he added.
Dr. Massey joined the UK faculty in 1953 after doing industrial
research.

Backwash Of Entertainment
We have heard many complaints

about the quality and eminence (or
lack of same) of entertainers hired
for campus concerts and dances and
of the dearth of concerts featuring
performers from the jazz and popular music fields.
Early this fall the newsletter of the
Southern Universities Student Government Association announced a
February concert tour by Dave Brubeck sponsored by SUSGA. Student
Congress belongs to SUSGA but this
tour which would have cost SG
$2,200 was not even mentioned to the
assembly.
The congress on one hand cries it
is losing money and must charge 25
cents for Student Directories to combat its growing deficit, yet no one
even bothered to bring up such a
as the Brubeck

dollar a head the Coliseum, Memorial
Hall, or any other suitable structure
could be filled, SC could have realized
a handsome profit, and done jazz fans
and music lovers a great service.
Someone behind the scenes may
have wished to avoid a conflict with
Greek Week (also in February). It
lias been a long standing policy at
the University not to allow more than
major money-makin- g
one
venture a month.
An attempt was made last spring
to get the Kingston Trio to come to
UK for a conceit, but it was stopped
before it got off the ground. It was
feared the trio would compete with
the Little Kentucky Derby, which
ended up as a miserable flop without
any outside help.
Or perhaps the Brubeck concert
was overlooked by some of our student lawgivers who felt such an event
would be of no interest to the Uniso-call- ed

versity community.
It may lie said that no sponsoring
group on campus has the money
necessary to lure big name entertainers to UK, but such an argument can
be easily refuted. Indiana University
recently had the Ahmad Jamal trio
and the Kingston Trio on campus

The Jamal concert

grossed $5,470; the Kingston Trio
Oct. 10, $5,600. The Duke Ellington
orchestra is scheduled to appear at

Indiana in February.
The secret of these concert successes is simply good promotion.
Jamal was offered $1,500 or GO percent of the gate receipts, whichever
was higher, and the Kingston group
settled for a flat GO percent of the
gate. The Ellington band is appearing under a similar agreement.
Indiana University is located in
Bloomington, a city with a population of approximately 30,000, and the
enrollment of the university is about
21,000. Lexington now claims a,
metropolitan population of nearly
enroll100,000 and UK's
ment for the fall semester was 8,019.
With double the number of prospective customers and many other
colleges nearby, there is no apparent
reason why similar arrangements
could not be made by UK groups. All
that would be needed is a way
through the red tape that surrounds
the arranging and scheduling of concerts and dances here.
It would be well for UK groups
to take advantage of the opportunities open to them and to also look
into the Indiana procedure with an
eye toward instituting similar programs at the University.

To The Editor:
A copy of the Dec.

issue of the
Kentucky Kernel has been forwarded
to me with the request that I answer
your editorial "Legionary Lunacy."
I assume that the writer of this
editorial is not eligible to become a
member of The American Legion;
therefore, I am taking this opportunity to make known to him our
interpretation of the term "Americanism." Americanism is, first of all, a
love of America; a vital, active, living
force; the best way of life ever know n;
a complete and unqualified loyalty to
the ideals of our government, but
most of all it is unfailing love of
country, loyalty to its institutions
and ideals; eagerness to defend it
against ail enemies; individual allegiance to the flag; and a desire to
secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity.

The American Legion, Department
of Kentucky, is not supporting legis-

by solemn oath his loyalty

The student who accepts aid
through the National Defense Act of
1?J5S is actually, whether he realizes
it or not, a soldier on the battlefield
of knowledge. The battles of today's
war are not fought at Chateau-ThierrGuadalcanal, or Pork Chop
Hill. Our victories must come from
the trained minds of our young men
and women.
We do not believe "that our colleges and universities are breeding
and fostering subversives." We do
believe, however, that a loyalty oath
should merely put into words those
feelings every student should have
for our country.
