Coach Adolph Kupp's 28th

Coach Rupp said earlier this

academic freedom, has resigned,
effective Sept. 1, to accept a

The political science professor

Sciences College.

The controversy started last year
when Dr. Kammerer charged she

administration. At that time President Frank G. Dickey denied that
any political pressure was involved
but he said Dr. Kammerer's statements over a period of years had

features representatives from cajor campus organizations, and one representative from each
fraternity and sorority, with

one- -

fifth of a vote for each of these
representatives.
The original of this plan had
the same representative system, but
each fraternity and sorority rep- resentative had a full vote. The
purpose of the modification to one- of a vote for each of these
representatives is to prevent one
group's having an absolute ma- jority.

President Dickey said he felt "information which guided me in the
determination of salaries last year
was in error,"
In a statement released to the
press last Friday, Dr. Dickey said,
"Various facts brought out in the

full text of statements madeTby
Dr. Kammerer give a different
picture of discussions than those
previously available."
Dr. Kammerer said she knew of
Dr. Dickey's statement before she
resigned. She said her resignation
had nothing to do with the controversy. She said she accepted
the position at Florida State because it offered a greater challenge, more time for research and
a substantial salary increase.

The adopted plan is a modification of those previously considered and it is a definite improvement over them.

this means an aggregate of six votes for the Greeks. That's a
much more sensible proportion than the original proposition
which called for one vote for each fraternity and sorority, or
a total of 30. That total outweighed the combined votes of the
organizations and colleges.

The college representatives, once again, appear to be nothing
more than a decorative element as they can hardly expect to

A Greek representative can go back to his or her house and
explain the issues or interests of SGA to the members. Organization delegates can do the same as they represent the

On paper the plan looks effective, but whether it will work

A Real Man

Dr. Dickey's recent admission of error in the case of Dr.
Kammerer showed some of the outstanding qualities of the
man.
It took a lot of fortitude for the president of a university
to stand up at a faculty meeting and say he made an error
in judgment. Especially is this so in a case which has had so
much publicity.
Fortunately, Dr. Kammerer has resigned her position here
closing an unfor one in Florida, thus easing the tension-an- d
fortunate incident.
But certainly, it has been informative and educational for
everyone involved, including Dr. DicTtey And

IFC Spokesman Explains Shortage Of Pledgee
(ED. NOTE: This article was submitted by a spokesman for the Interfraternity Council and discusses the
problem of securing pledges for fraternities. The opinion's
herein expressed are solely those of the author.)

There has been a good deal of speculation lately concerning the decrease in the number of rushees out for
rush this past fall. The Interfraternity Council is not
alarmed or particularly worried about this. In the first
place, an organization is not good, or bad, simply because
it has quantity. Secondly, the reasons for thisdecrease
are known, and can be combated.
The primary explanation of the decrease Is found in
a rule passed last spring by the Interfraternity Council,
popularly known as "the 37 percentile rule". It states
simply that any new student who makes 37 percentile or
lower on his Kentucky College Battery test will not be.

since this rule seems to present a block to the growth of
fraternities, it should be dropped. However, as was implied above, quality, rather than quantity, should be the
essential consideration of any organization1. Also, by not
allowing these men to pledge, the Interfraternity Council
feels that the men are given a better chance to make
their grades.
Simple economics supplies a second answer to the question of why the number of rushees dropped this year. We

Second semester rush this year produced an Unusually

school year. In fact, we feel sure that the trend
is away from a rush period at the beginning: of school
(the busiest time of the year), and toward the type of
ruh that is "delayed" until later in the school year.
Combine this with the 37 percentile rule, and fraternities
haen't fared so badly as many think, or would like to
think.
The University of Kentucky is a growing institution,
and fraternities, if they ore to remain worthwhile contributors to the University, must grow too. The Interfraternity Council knows that many things stand in the

fraternities themselves. They must realize their proper
relationship to the campus. With this realization, the
