By CHItlSTA FINLEY
Ru'cs may change, styles may go out of date, and enrollment may Increase, but a student's love of frivolity
does ret alter much with ape.
For example, one of today's students may "accidcntly"
et olf a fire alarm In one of the dormitories every now
and tVn.
Ho irvrr, in the early IMO'n, It w
a great sport for a
group cf students to set off a number of alarms and then
mingle Innocently with the excited crowd of Lexington-ian- s
who had .gathered to watch the University burn
down.
Then, as" now, there was some degree of "horsing
aroun I" In classes. Onre three
athletes had
an ed i at ion class together.
On'' d;iy when one was absent, the other two slipped
n sku'l and two skeleton arms In to class and propped
them up in the absentee's chair.

ng

When the unsuspecting professor called the name of
the third athlete, the other two began to sob and point-In- g
to his chair, said, "This is all thai is left of poor
:
Frank."
Skits were very popular then. too. In 1922, at a grid-Iro- n
dinner, a "Sanitary Wedding" was performed.
The wedding group was ceremoniously dressed in
Immaculate white hospital gowns and the bride and
groom wore rubber gloves to "tie the knot."
kiss, an attendDuring the traditional
piece of waxed paper between the bride and
ant held a
groom to prevent the spreading of "dirty ol' germs. "
Afterwards they were presented with" a health certipost-ceremo-

ny

ficate Instead of a marriage license.
Students often are able to find fault with the modern
facilities in dormitories and boarding houses, but grandmother and grandfather really had something to yell
about.

They were required to furnish their own mattresses
and bed clothing which often caused an uncomfortable
situation to exist. Many of them had been used so Ion;
they became Infested with bed bugs.
According to the memoirs of one early student, If the
mattresses were placed on the floor, "they would move
across the room under the motive power of the many
little red lnnarjltants wha had made it their home for
years."
This same student also said that "In the closing days
of college each spring, it was not an uncommon sight at
night to see some students seeking revenge for many
sleepless nights spent in company with the occupants
of their beds, by soaking the mattresses in coal oil and
lighting a match to it."

* Passing The Buck
At a meeting of tlio Intcrfratcrnity
Council two weeks ago, certain members hurled criticism at the Kernel
rather freely for a front-pag- e
story on

fraternity grades.
Tliey unleashed their condemnation
because they felt that we placed too
much emphasis on the 11 fraternities which were on probation rather
than stressing that eight had achieved
the
average.
Indefensible drivel, every single

We could not completely ignore
the fact that over half of the campus social fraternities had failed to
make the required standing. We
could not positively praise the eight
fraternities for making their standthe fact that
ings and
11 had been given the academic ax.
This would be denying our purpose.
We presented the facts as they
were; if they could not face them,

that is not our fault. It is folly to
think that a newspaper would disregard truth or conceal it if it is pertinent to the public the paper serves.
It would have Ix'en more. propitious
if IEC had disussed the probability
of getting fraternity grade standards
converted to the University's requirements for every student. UK's standards for Greek organizations are discriminatory and need revamping.
It would have been more profitable
to ascertain whether it is worthwhile
to maintain fraternity scholarship
standards at all and present a sensible proposal to the University administration rather than blasting the
campus newspaper for printing the
"horrid" facts.
We do not mind the criticism as
much as we do the members' inability
to confront the problem of grade
standards without shifting the blame
to the Kernel for "overemphasizing"
its enigma.

University Soapbox

Ideals And Honesty
By SUZY HORN

The statements by several UK professors at a recent panel discussion
concerning cheating goes to show the
decadence of student society inhabiting these hallowed halls.
What more do you need of a sick
public willing to condone the lowest
possible means of "making a grade."
Those who say this point is overemphasized on UK's campus are either
blind or fear bad publicity for the
University.
If the youth of America is represented on UK's campus, then I say
youth is in a deplorable condition.
They feel no twinge of morality or
remorse for the deeds they readily
participate in and even more readily
condone by failure to report incidents
of cheating.
If the feelings of remorse come
they are no doubt outweighed by the
personal gain involved in such ac-

How can a student who fails to
report cheating expect to compete
fairly for an honest grade? He has
laid the course by his negligence
caused by fear of social rebuttal.
All this may be termed idealistic,
but if we looked more toward ideals,
the malignant cancer of college cheating would not have the University in
its clutch.
Those who are cheaters and who
condone cheating are lying to themselves if they believe this is the way
to "get ahead" in the world.
There are many honest students
who graduated from the University
and become successes far more honest men than cheaters climb the ladder
of success to stay.
All ye who this article applies to
take heed if your ears are not already
deaf to the ideals of honesty.

tivity.

They fail to report these "cheaters"
because they might be called "tattle-tales- "
how petty! How weak in character and lacking in plain intestinal
fortitudel
Would these same people fail to
report a serious criminal offense for
feai Of ' being labeled "tattletales?"
The American system of justice
would be in sad shape if everyone had
this attitude.
Cheating is a crime! It is a crime
against the student doing the cheating, the professor who condones it,
and the student who fails to report it.
How can a student who cheats his
way through a course, possibly vital
to his future professional career, expect to ever be a valuable citizen
to his community and his country?
How can a professor who condones
cheating in his classroom feel any
sense of accomplishment in his chosen
profession as an educator?

To The Editor:
I would like to express my appreciation for Mr. Wenninger's accurate and full report on the Student Union discussion on cheating in
which I participated; especially since
the attendance, as he reported, was
so disappointing.
However, I would like to make
clear that I mentioned the Psychology
Department in my talks simply as an
example which came to mind. The
point that I wished to make was that
all departments which use objective
tests are sitting ducks for cheating
situations. (Too large classes in certain classes may force such examinations on the instructor, I grant.)
In addition, I would argue that objective tests are bad Ix'cause they
suggest that University education is
a matter of memorizing professional
lectures or textbooks. Higher education is teaching people how to think
and evaluate. This can only Ik measured by essay or problem type examinations which cannot be graded

Perhaps I may repeat one suggestion I made at the meeting. That
is, that all the University consider
using some of its larger buildings,
such as Memorial Hall, as examination
halls. The present system of giving
in classrooms where
examinations
students sit elbow to ellow, and
where the professor cannot walk
around, makes effective monitoring
virtually a physical impossibility.

Create Understanding
To The Editor:
Equality of the races is supported
by the United States Constitution. A
merchant has no right to refuse service
to anyone as long as his establishment
is open to the public. To be morn
specific, why is it that a Negro can
buy articles at one counter and be refused at another on the other side ol
the same aisle?
The recent article in the liradcrs
Furum (March 8) made mention of a

survey taken by the Unitarian Fellowship, however, the author failed to
state that 96' percent of the persons
polled found nothing wrong with
Negroes eating with them in restaurants near the campus. Therefore, one
who attempts to use "social tradition"
in support of merchants, who refuse
service to Negroes, is not basing his
conclusion on fact, btit on personal
opinion and hearsay.
Recent demonstrations, by the Lexington Committee of Hacial Equality
(COHEj, have shown that white persons who eat at segregated lunch
counters care little who sit beside
them. Even persons who openly (by
word of mouth) show their reluctance
to sitting by Negroes, did net leave
or refuse to eat at the counter occupied by COHE mcmlx'rs (Negro ami
white). I think that this should prove
to the merchant, to whom the policy
making is left, as well as to the "realist" that segregation is no longer
based on economic reasons or "social
tradition," but is instead the opinion of
Uu merchant who uses these two reasons to shield his own piejudieed
ideas and opinions.
"Realistic" stated in his (or her)
letter that: "Sometiir.es the desire for
something prevents individuals from
looking at things as they are." I think
that "Realistic" has done an cccllcnt
job in characterizing persons, such as
merchants who operate segregated
establishments. They are the ones
who fail to realize that "things" (the
racial situtation) are not as they were
20 years ago, but have progressed to
a new level, and it is time for all of us
to realize this, and to do our part in

creating better understanding among
the races.
