The study revealed that this small group of original

class this spring.
Students who have taken more than four years
after initial entrance will make up 28 percent of
the 1960 graduating class and 31 percent of the class
will be students transferring from other institutions.
Results of this study support the new University
policy requesting students who score in the bottom
quarter to take additional tetts and counselling before entering the University, Dr. Ernest D. McDaniel,
director of the University Testing Service, said
yesterday.
The figures might also point up the need to
strengthen the advisory program in such a way that
more students will be able to complete their education successfully, he added.

The main benefits of the system have been less plant disease

Tests For Politicians

If Student Congress should find
time to meet within the next week
or so, a new constitutional revision
will he proposed, discussed hy the
student politicians, and either ratified or rejected.
As we understand

it, the revision
will change the structure of SC radically, so that the president will he
selected hy the assembly, and representation will be composed mainly
from UK departments.

But if the legislators really want to
get radical and sincerely convert their
organization into a workable one, the
establishing of stringent qualifications
for SC candidates might possibly heal
some of the wounds of inefficiency
being festered in the assembly.
We refer specifically to setting up
a testing system for candidates on the
organization, its workings, responsibilities, and constitution. Several colleges and universities in the U. S. require candidates for student government to pass an examination before

they can legally run for office.
The use of tests would ( 1 ) increase
the efficiency of SC, (2) ascertain that
candidates know the organization so
that meetings would not he wasted
in silly debates over duties? and (3)
make the requirements for student
offices based on knowledge, rather
than popularity, thus building more
confidence in the group.
The history of student government
at UK has been rife with complacency,
lack of sense of direction, and reliance on the popular candidate rather
than the capable one. Although last
year's congress was fast developing
into an operable organization, it was
stunned by an election fraud which
virtually stripped it of confidence and
prestige. It has been convalescing
since.

To assure a swifter road to recovery and stouter assembly, SC can
treat itself by setting up examinations for candidates and by flunking
those who only bastardize the congress with apathy.

Welcome To The Colonel
The campus' newest newspaper, the
Kentucky Colonel, is hot off the
mimeograph machine this week. The
authorized publication of the UK
e
Army ROTC Drill Brigade, the
edition is chock-ful- l
of news
about matters concerning ROTC
cadets.
After perusing the issue rather
closely, we found the paper to be
most enjoyable and worthy of the UK
journalism students who produced it.
There was a front-pageditorial explaining the naming of the paper
which was stirring and informative,
to say the most.
It seems that many names, such as
Bull Sheet and Gung-IIo- ,
were suggested for the paper, but because
two-pag-

the State of Kentucky was blessed
with so many fine colonels the Kentucky Colonel was chosen for its
official title. Tile editorial promises
that the paper will not be "another
kernel of corn."
Although we personally preferred
Bull Sheet as its name, we welcome
the paper to the journalistic realm
and applaud its invitation to cadets
to publish letters to the editor. Suppression of cadet ideas would be definitely detrimental to the principles
of the UK ROTC Department.
But we noted with ecstasy this
explanation of the ColoneTs policy
on page two of the issue:
"Views expressed herein are not
necessarily those of the Department
of the Army."

Have An Apple, Sir
We have watched with approval
C. Northcote Parkinson's Newtonian
quest to uncover the laws of
behavior. It is approval
born of familiarity.
Our own position is a bit like that
of citizens who merely took baths
during the time of Archimedes or
stopped to nibble on apples that had
fallen on their heads in Newton's era.
We were aware of the phenomena
analyzed by Prof. Parkinson, but
never troubled to formulate any equation explaining them.
The professor lias now recorded
two laws:
1. Work expands so as to fill the
time available for its completion.
2. Expenditure rises to meet insocio-bureaucrat-

Vehicular traffic always expands
to fill the amount of expressway
available to it.
Garbage collects in a household at
a faster rate than it is produced.
(Two bushels of grocery containers
brought in, even after the food is
consumed, creates five bushels of trash
to be removed.)
Discussion of extraneous subjects
at civic meetings takes up exactly the
amount of time that remains after
pertinent discussion ends.
Temporary taxes last only until a
more lucrative revenue source is
found.
Suburbs recede from city work
areas just as fast as commuting speeds

increase.

These have scope. They are basic.
But we feel there are certain other
facets of modem industrialized life
that require more specialzied axioms.
For instance:

Editorials fill the amount of space

To The Editor:
In the past few weeks, several
articles and editorials have appeared
in this and other papers, criticizing
the fact that all males at
institutions are required, or
forced to take ROTC.
rather
I feel that these arguments, although valid, have overlooked one
factor in the ROTC's undesirableness.
This glaring wrong which I refer to
is that the ROTC and their cadet
"fuhrers" have the right (?) to make
students spend extra hours doing useless work or drilling off
