UK Students Are Doing Improved Work
By RORniE MASON
On the eve of deadline for
grade reports
there Is seme Indication that students especially freshmenare doing better work this year.
This was apparent In answers received In a sample
survey of UK professors yesterday.
The majority of the professors observed a marked improvement in their students' work. One was particularly
surprll at the superiority of his students over those of
previous years and termed the change a result of more
effort on the part of the student.
A Journalism professor said that his sophomore classes
were making better grades than his senior classes.
The freshmen seem to have much better grades than
before, one art professor noted.
An Arts and Sciences professor noticed a significant increase in the number of "A's" in his class compared with
last semester, and a corresponding decrease in the number
of "Ds".
A few others, however, said grades for students in their
classes were running about the same.

Some professors included in the sample stated that
they did not give "A's" at

advisers Monday. Copies of the grades will also be sent
to the deans of each college, to the dean of men and the
dean of women.

and the course is a prerequisite for an advanced course,
the student should not be scheduled for the advanced,
course, according to Dean Elton.
If the student does pass the course, he may add the advanced course later, if the class is not filled.
If grades actually are better, one of the factors responsible might be the new academic requirements.
Students failing to make a 2.0 standing are placed on
probation. There are approximately 600 students now on
probation, according to Dr. C. F. Elton, dean of admissions
and registrar. Last semester 1,500 students were on probation.
Studies made by Dr. Elton show that students who will
eventually complete college will generally work harder
and make higher grades from the start. Others, who are
unable to adapt themselves to a university level of instruction, and would sooner or later leave school anyway, will
depart sooner.
e
One of the studies shows that the portion of
students making less than a "C" average dropped from
.30 percent for the fall semester of 1958-5- 9
to 25 percent
for the Spring term.

* Reflections On Football

.

In vain we have kept our cars at
their sensitive best during the last
few weeks, hoping against hope that
we might hear some calm and
thoughtful voice raised by our professional elders on the emotional subject of football at Kentucky, football
coaches, and a losing season.
But all we have heard is the usual
hearsay of impending resignations, of
dissatisfaction with the coaching, of
poor morale among team members,
and all other sorts of pessimistic

prattle.
Frankly, we are disappointed.
Apparently, however, none of our
professional members are willing
to put forth any arguments, pro or
con. The idea is to sit tight, say nothing, wait for someone to protest
loudly and if a vocal mob gathers-co- me
howling into the fray with statements and counter statements, headlines and more headlines.
All right. If no one else is going
to speak up, the Kernel will step
forward.
A pox on those fair weather folk
who desert the team when adversity
hits and who support them avidly
during successful seasons. But let us
state our position in two words.
Keep Collier. Don't let him consider
leaving, even if he wants to. Urge
him to stay and to seek and find confidence in him. Let him impart this
confidence to the team. No matter
how cynical and unbelieving you are,
the majority of ball games are won
with a combination of confidence, determination, and support. Kentucky
is no exception.
. Let the coach impart this confidence
today, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
and especially Saturday. Tennessee
can be whipped and the Wildcats
have the team to do it. We believe
that Saturday, Nov. 21, is the most
propitious day for UK to begin a

winning streak which it can carry
into next year and become the "comeback team of 19G0."
But whatever our football fortunes
on Saturday, let's stand firm against
proponents of a coaches' witch hunt
and those who would try to seduce
us into the bottomless mire of professional intercollegiate athletics. Those
who sigh for the "good old days"
fail to recall they really were not
such "good old days" after all.
In too many .oL the nation's larger
colleges, football has degraded to the
point of mass professionalism and
the hiring and firing of coaches is becoming about as regular as the rising
and falling of the sun. It places a
tremendous pressure on the coach to
produce a winning team, and if he
does not, his name is mud, his competency is questioned, and the school
loses prestige because it can't come
up with a winner.
The University president's stand on
athletics is admirable; it is one that
will, not yield to the pressures of outside factions and reduce itself to complete professionalism and its quagmires of results. We are reaching for
a "proper balance."
Does someone want to start a fight?
Do you have a chip on your shoulder
about football at Kentucky? But wait,
why don't you blow your top over
this more worthwhile topic education?
Get angry over the loss of top professors and our losing out on top
educational opportunities for lack of
space, money, time, teachers, and
research men. Scream at those who do
not give support to UK budget requests for the next biennium.
And then, if still a little anger lingers, ponder the mass stupidity which
may throttle our future and that of
our children through the recent bonus,
vote.

University Soapbox

Congregate At The TUB
Since plans have been laid for a
million and a half dollar addition

to the Student Union Building, it
would seem appropriate that the new
edifice be suitably renamed and that
a dedication ceremony be planned.
All things taken into consideration,

the new architectural masterpiece
should be christened the. Townspeople's Union Building, for it serves
epicures as it
as many
does students and faculty. With all
the families of Lexington (and other
areas within a radius of five miles),
not to mention all the delegates to
the various conventions held on our
hospitable campus, taking advantage
of the superlative nourishment provided by the sterling little inn, it is
often quite difficult to find one fellow student in its spacious dining area.

under the misapprehension that the
Union is for UK students,
The dietitian will be able to revel
in the throes of dedication, thinking
up new and glorious ways to serve
last Thursday's green beans with last
Friday's golden kernel com. (It has
puzzled me frequently as to when
they serve today's vegetables because
we always get yesterday's.)
Now to be perfectly traditional,
e
grimy
the TUB (with its
ring.) should be ceremoniously dedicated by those who partake of its
victuals most often. I propose the

contest to find the Girl Scout who

Also in keeping with the occasion
would be a terse speech by the townsman who has eaten the most Sunday

To The Editor:
The next time you wonder alxmt

rejoiced in the unanimous vote. I
could more easily believe this assumption than the one you presented,
namely, "The University Faculty, apparently in an effort to pacify certain
departments on campus, has unanimously passed a new plan for revamping of Commencement in 1961."
As you stated: ".

the plan will
require them (students) to remain on
campus for nine days after the semester ends for exercises." The official
inUniversity calendar for 1960-6dicates that the Spring semester ends
on Monday, May 29, and Commencement is the following Monday, June
5. If I haven't forgotten my advanced
subtraction that represents seven days
rather than nine days. Were you referring to the fact that, following the
last day of final exams, seniors who
graduate will have nine days to wait
until Commencement? If so, personally, I should expect graduating seniors to remain on the campus just as
I expect all students to remain on the
campus during the coming holidays,
studying in the Library. Since So to

Sports announcers, we are told, vire
supposed to possess sharp eyes and
quick judgement so that an accuarto
description ot a sporting event may be
depicted to the listener.
We are inclined to disagree.
After turning to four dilferent stations to hear UK's game. with Xav icr,
we heard lour diilerent estimations of
the crowd. One said it was areund
S.000, another said K).(KH) to 12.000,
the third estimated lo,000 and the
final, Irom lS.OOO to 0,000.
But maybe we are wrong. Tiny
may have been counting their listeners, also.

To Be The Belle
Will Take Planning
To look your best this Saturday
night at the Homecoming Dance,
It's going to take a lot of planning.
The appropriate dress will be

ones to the elbow length style.
Your .shoes can also be dyed
almost any color and for a very
reasonable price. Choose the height
of your heels carefully and try to
choose the heel that doesn't make
you tower over your date.
The problem of what coat to
wear on such dressy occasions is
a very punting one, especially if
you don't have a cocktail coat or
you don't want to invent in one.
It is periectly permissable to
wear a light, white coat and since
white has become one of the most
fashionable, winter colors this season, you won't be out of style.

formal, but there are under-

lying problems that accompany
the wearing of a cocktail dress.
Perhaps you are dubious as to
what kind of gloves to wear.
White gloves are appropriate for
any occasion, but If you want to
add an extra touch to your appearance, perhaps you'll have
your gloves dyed to match your
dress.
The length of your gloves may
be left up to your own particular

Beautiful Doll,

Your Eyes Deceive
On the other hand if the female
eyes seems to draw away from the
man when she meets him. chances
are she's not disinterested but extremely farsiphted and has to
stand back to get a better look.
Actually a girl's eyes are the
most beautiful when she is terrified. When this happens, the pupil
dilates to its fullest and lubricants

creating the utmost in bright eyes.
So you see, by this last statement, UK males still have a
chance to get in on some real
eye beauty, especially if they have
a tendency to scare their dates
either by personal appearance or
actions.
Women, who want their eyes to
have all the charm they're capable
of having when in a state of shock
or fear eagerly accept a blind date.

By ALICE AKIN

The wonder of a woman's eyes
has often been expressed in poems,
songs, and literary works cf the
.past. Deep within the two sockets
it has been claimed that many
of yearning, sorrow,
emotions
ecstacy, and the like have been
found.

But let's look at this matter in
a cynical point of view. Suppose
that you look into your girl's
ryes and detect a sense of pas-tioWell, "hate to appear utterly

Experts agree that the most passionate eyes are often those that
have some sort of defect.

Dating In Iran
Is Group Affair

One solution would be to move

that dating relationships there

are developed rarely through the
Iranian schooling system. Boys and
girls attend school together for
the first four grades, then the
schools are separate. Colleges are
coeducational, but few girls enroll in college.
Girls and boys mix in groups
but never in couples. Parties and
movies are group affairs and are
said 'to be much more fun.
This social custom is debatable
among UK coeds. To be sure, this
system cancels out the much fought
