Fire Hospitalizes Student

Friday injured one student.
Joseph Smith, chemistry graduate student, was hospitalized with
first and second degree burns over the upper half of his body, when

a benzene vapor exploded.
Dr. L. R. Dawson, head of the Chemistry Department, said Smith
was performing some routine investigation connected with his research
work around noon Friday when the accident occurred.
Benzene vapors, from r.n organic solvent used 'in the work, formed
an explosive mixture hi the lab and was ignited by an open flame.
Flaming liquid immediately engulfed Smith, Dr. Dawson recounted.
Jay Era sen and Gerald Leslie probably saved Smith's life through
picmpt use of nearby fire extinguishers, Dr. Dawson added.
Smith was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital and later transferred
to the University Infirmary. Infirmary sources stated he received
degree burns of the face, hands, and neck.
His condition is listed as satisfactory.

Freshmen View Trimester Plan

By MIKE FKAKINC.
Nearly a month bro the Kernel presented the trimester plan to
the Mudent body; several weeks bro the same plan became the basis
fcr theme assignments In four UK English composition sections.
In the Kernel editorial, the plan was described as "a plan that
Would offer college students an opportunity to complete their studies
nnd receive their degrees in two years and seven months Instead of
the traditional four years."
The Knglish alignment directed the students to interview the
frtudrnt body and find out whether they would like to be educated
under thU program and the reasons why.
Reduction in time required for a college education was the main
advantage reported by 26 themes.
Premedical and prelaw students especially favored the program because of their extended education past the basic four years. They felt
that with the trimester program they could get through their entire
educational program faster.
The viewpoint that male students who have to go Into the armed
MTVire after college would be able to finish their education and military duty and start their career at a fairly young; age, was also reported in several themes.
It was reported in the plan presented by the Kernel that the
f,
if he wishes to drop out a semester, will be able to pick the
tune of his vacation fall, spring, or summer.
This was reported as the second main advantage for setting up
this program.
One student pointed out that the person who has to work his
way through college can pick a semester opposite the near jobless
summer season when every other student is hunting a job, too.
A profes.sor said, in opposing the plan, he looked forward to a
niirmer vacation. In another theme a student pointed out that with
tin c femestcrs the professors will be able to stagger their vacations
ii .1 choose the season they pnfer.
;tdued that with the calendar year divided into three

Students felt there would be too much emotional strain and they chairman-elecof the Southern
t
would not be able to learn as well or produce their best work.

Another opposing reason, a number of those interviewed stated,
was that under the trimester plan the student would not have enough
time to mature properly before he began his career.
One student said the graduate would be 19 or 20 and too young; to
enter the world socially. He felt the' student needs as much education
socially as he does mentally.
From the sports viewpoint, one football player said it would "foul
up the whole athletic association." He stated that experience makes the
player and with Just two years he would loose the experience.
In commenting on campus organizations under the trimester
plan another student said they "would suffer a lack of long-tim- e
leadership." He continued, "a student "would have difficulty in establishing
himself socially on the campus."
Would it effect the basic cost of a college education, questioned
cie tu t.'i4.
lopirally, th author of the theme said, the cost would not be

* Deferred Rush At UK: Pros And Cons
A Must For Fraternities
(The Intcrfratcrnify Council will
discuss the feasibility of def cried rush
for UK fraternities during the next
two weeks. Two Kernel staff members,
Rex Bailey and Bob Anderson, have
explored the problems of deferred
rush, and they have come up with different views on the plan. XV c present
their views without making any editorial stand wliatsocvcr.THE EDITOR)
By REX BAILEY

The primary advantage of the
Interfratcrnity Council adopting a deferred rush system is that it will raise
scholarship in the individual fraternities and the fraternity system as a
whole.
A deferred rush system would not
permit freshmen to pledge until they
make a 2.0 standing. Therefore fraternity grade averages would not suffer
from pledges not achieving at least
a 2.0. As an example of how pledges
may effect fraternity grade averages,
the IFC Rush Committee chairman

has pointed out that out of a total
of 41 men pledged by two fraternities last semester only two men

were initiated.
With rising University academic
standards, it will become harder to
enter the University and even more
difficult to maintain an adequate
grade average. Many freshmen are
not capable of doing college work
and discover this only after they have
pledged. Under a deferred rush program freshmen must show they are
capable of doing college work before
they may pledge.
After three or four years of a
deferred rush system the University
fraternities could easily be rated near
the top academically of all the nation's fraternity systems. If this system is begun next fall, by the fall
semester of 1963 fraternity membership would then completely consist
of men who were pledged under a
deferred rush system. Fraternities
and scholarship would become synonymous since all "members have

Another advantage is fraternity
men would become In tter acquainted
with rushees before they extend imitations to pledge. Under our present
system, the relationship between the
fraternities and rushees is limited. In
the short time of formal rush too
much emphasis is placed on first impressions. Under a deferred rush
fraternities and rushees may become
better acquainted, thus relieving many
of the doubts and indecisions involved in considering fraternity membership.
A deferred rush would eventually
increase fraternity niemlership. Since
only men capable of making a 2.0
will be able to pledge, the high rate
of depledging due to insufficient
grades will be nonexistent. Rushees
will be more attracted to fraternities
because scholarship will le more

Another way the deferred rush
program would increase fraternity
membership and alleviate financial
problems would be that fraternities

professional press blazoned it across
front pages, educational leaders said
the University was emphasizing
scholarship more than ever, and the
public thought it a "shame and a
disgrace" that so many had failed to
make the grade.
The figures actually lied, in one
sense, at least. About 50 percent of
the freshman class always fail to make
the required standing, and the new requirement did not make an appreciable difference in the number of
freshmen falling below the mark. So
actually the excitement was not
aroused by any new development, but
rather over a UK tradition, a sad one
nonetheless.
So, we don't believe all this pontificating poppycock about UK suddenly doing startlingly better in education. We don't deny that there has
been some improvement, and we think
there is good reason for UK faculty
members and students to feel elated
over the destiny of the University.
But the advancement is not going to
be overnight; not even in a year.
Rather than feel a sudden surge
of pride over the fact that 5 percent
fewer had fallen below a "C" standing, we are more enthusiastic over
the proposed budget for UK, over
the
program, and over the
administration's sincere effort to improve the University educationally.
As for the figures, we hope they
remain where they were first conceived. On paper.

tended to improve scholastics.
There has been some concern
voiced about the strain of having
to conduct a full semester of rush.
It goes without saying that some
fraternities would make extra efforts
to impress rushees by having a large
number of "sharp" parties. Some
people, particularly faculty members,
feel fraternities place too much emphasis on social activities. lit enlarging "their social programs, fraternities
would not only further widen the
gap between them and the faculty,
but would see their grades suffer.
The strain of being rushed, either
formally or informally, could tell on
the grades of rushees, too. Even
though a rushee only goes to a fraternity house for dinner, it is doubtful
that he would be able to get back
to the dorms before 7:30 or 8 o'clock.
The "sharper" rushees would especially be alfected by such difficulties,
as they would be rushed harder.
