A Stride Forward
The University Faculty has flexed
its muscles and has sprung with catlike reflexes upon apparent weaknesses in UITs disciplinary procedures
which cropped up rather embarrass-ingl- y
during the exam theft incident.
The rapid move of the faculty was
noble; its proposals were realistic and
reflective of proper intentions. Its action even indicated it refuted the administrations rather precarious stand
in the exam theft incident.
A warm pat on the back for an
honest attempt is deserved.
But the result of the faculty meeting was only a committee which will
merely study dishonesty problems
and, we presume, make recommendations. The issue has to be discussed,
concrete suggestions made, and the
final proposal approved. This could
require considerable time and the
true issues might then be taken
rather lightly.
The committee will take up three
questions for scrutiny. One involves
disciplinary action in serious offenses
outside the classroom, another includes more communication between
the faculty and administration in disciplinary problems, and the last asks
for a clarification of "disciplinary
probation.".
All three, no' doubt, could result
in more stringent rules against cheating 'and dishonesty and give the faculty a chance to voice its opinion in
disciplinary problems. Its voice has
been practically nonexistent at the
University.
We' can't help but believe that if

.

a system existed in which the faculty
had more power in such cases, the
furor raised over the football player
who pilfered the exam would have
been nil and the University protected
from public criticism.
A general tightening of rules concerning dishonesty has long been
forthcoming at the University, especially since it is growing with
rapidity each year. The establishment
of the 2.0 requirements was a stride
forward in academics; more strict
dishonesty rules would protect them.
Any judge will agree that laws
which are lax and easy to circumvent
are most apt to be broken and with
regularity. All the lectures and sermons in" the world will not stop
lawbreaking if no punishment is held
over the public's head.
Neither do we expect students to
be angels and seriously listen to pep
talks against cheating. An honor system will never make headway without harsh punishment threatened.
Incidents similar to the Charles
Van Doren affair have been' numerous
in society, the only difference being
that the television deception was before the public eye. Now rules are
being proposed against quiz show
deceit.
So, when the faculty committee
considers its proposals, it should not
lose sight of their importance to the
University and its students, as well
as the public.
We anticipate something more tlian
nebulous words.

Expression: Discipline For Ideas
The dean of the Columbia University law school laments the weakness in basic writing skills on the
part of incoming students' (who are
already graduates of some1 college).
And what, functionally, are "basic
writing skills"? The techniques of
saying what one means so that others
can understand what one means.
Out of many predictive tests wthere
is one with an impressive record behind it as measuring general ability
in any field. It is a test of vocabulary. And why vocabulary? Because,
we would venture, no one has ever
thought something out thoroughly
.

and precisely until he has translated
his ideas form the fluidity of thinking into the solidity of vocal or written expression preferably to an audience outside himself. This calls for
an arsenal of words and a stable of
phrases to carry them.
There is unconscious wisdom in
the little girl's protest to her teacher's admonition to think before she
writes: "But how can I know what
I think till I see what I say?" The

state which, previous to my college
days, had had a poor football team.
Students and fans bitterly complained. So finally a fabulous team
was formed, and conference titles
were gained and bowl games won.
Methods such as exam stealing,
free tutors for the. players, and just
letting the athletes get by with almost anything were used to help build
and maintain the team. So an. uproar
arose concerning this injustice. To
quiet the mob, a cracldown began
and many players were disqualified
andor expelled. Now the school no
longer has a winning team. Again
students and fans are complaining.

Blasts Guignol
To The Editor:
Miss Carole Martin's review of the
Guignol Theatre's
production of
"Winterset" leaves one gasping. "Outstanding" and "stellar" are words she
uses to describe an embarrassingly
bad piece of theater.
The lighting and set were incredibly
bad, and I have had to apply to my
occulist as a result of the murky,
eye watering blue light which obscured the figures and features of the
actors at the same time that it outlined and heightened their makeup,
giving them the appearance of photographic negatives.
Miss Haddix was the victim of insensitive and permissive direction,
and as a result she played not Anderson's Miriamne but Miss Haddix, a
part we are all getting a little tired
of after all these years. John Pritchard
sounded like Domosthenes with the
pebbles in, and it was only when I
caught a stray English word that I
realized that he was not speaking
Yiddish, but English. Charles Dickens
seemed too bored with the production to exert himself very much.
Douglas Roberts clowned what is in
the text a highly unfunny pathetic
role. Jim Sloane has a pleasant voice
( if he is ever in another show we may
see what his face looks like), but his
single body movement a sort of
thighs stance
began to wear after its 200th use.
Tom Marston sounded as if he had
just come .in from Harlan, a rather
unusual accent to give to the part
of a New York gangster. Russ Mobley,
the nearest thing to a really fine
performance in this sorry mess, seems
never to have taken a basic course in
speech: all his "es" with "i's",
etc., and the predominance
of
pronunciation among
characters of minor importance destroyed whatever illusion the text of
the play itself might have produced.
If the director would see to it that his
actors .pronounced tire English language even remotely as it should
sound, in other words, tend to first
things first, we would not have to
cringe with embarrassment when we
bring an
guest to a performance in our University theatre.
We still remember with an almost
painful mortification the "Monsours,"'
"Misshures," etc. of "Cyrano" last
year. We may be southerners here,
but need we have the diction of.

What annoys me particularly is not
so much the shoddy, tired, and sec- ond rate production, but the automatic adulation on the part of the

Kernel and everyone else. Our theater,
in which we all take a loyal interest
(this letter will be interpreted us an
attack on it, whereas it is written
out of a sense of shame and outraged loyalty), will never improve if
ignorant people, who have neither
read nor witnessed more tlian a dozen
plays in their life, continue to flatter
and butter up the theater when it is
really bad. A few boos on opening
night, a few groans of pain as eyes
began to smart in the ghastly lighting,
a few heavy steps of people walking
out . . . some of that treatment might
challenge the Guignol Theatre sufficiently to make them angry, angry
with being second rate, imitatively
commercial, provincial, hick, and
yokel; and it might cause enough
talk so that our theater might improve . . . and come up to State University snuff.

IFC Defended
To The Editor:
After reading last Friday's editorial
on fraternity pledges, I am amazed
that any intelligent person could
write such a thing. The parts of it
that were not mistakes in fact gathering, were not reasonable .by any
logic.
You start out by saying the

Inter-fraterni-

ty

Council acted in a burst
of unaccustomed activity. Thinking
back, it doesn't seem to me tliat the
IFC has lnen exactly lethargic this
year. Homecoming, pledge activities,
rush, the Danceland boycott, all come
under the "activity" category in my
book.
Your remark about "sending pledges
out to solicit money from unsuspecting Lexingtonians" I presume was

about pledges collecting for the local
United Fund drive, since that is the
only thing of that nature they have
done this year. From your use of the
word "unsuspecting" I take it that
the people of Lexington were
