AFROTC
Set Up As
Model Unit
New

AFROTC heads in four

states have been advised to visit
the UK Air Science Department,
set up as a model program, early
in their tours of duty.
The assistant commandant of
AFROTC units in the Kentucky,
Ohio. West Virginia and Tennessee area made the recommendation.
The newly assigned professors will
examine the UK department's attainments in three separate areas.
These are a cadet leadership
laboratory program,' a high degree of motivation toward entering advanced AFROTC and the
department's general teaching
methods.
Col. R. W. Boughton, professor
of air science and tactics here,
said the department seeks to
avoid "spoon-feedinits cadets.
It aims at developing their leadership through actual practice, he
added.
This practice includes having
cadet officers plan and conduct
laboratory programs within a military framework. They instruct,
evaluate the leadership of their
peers and subordinates, and serve
on a number of cadet governing
boards.
Representatives of 19 colleges
and universities in the four-staarea are expected to visit here
as tours cf duty of new air science
professors begin.

frontages.
The preliminary plans call for
widening Euclid Avenue by 8 to
10 feet from Harrison Avenue to
Rose Street. The amount of widening for the Rose-Hig- h
Street
stretch will be about the same.
Survey work from Rose to High
Street has been completed by C.
J. Fuller, consulting engineer,
under an $8,000 appropriation
made Aug. 21 by the Lexington
Board of City Commissioners.
Fuller is now designing widths
from Harrison Avenue to Rose
Street and from Ashland Avenue
to East High Street.
Heidenreich said the part of
Euclid Avenue between the Coliseum and Stoll Field would be
widened to 52 feet. The new street
would consist of two

reported that its national charter
has been revoked because it insisted on a policy of

Timothy W. Scholl. of Water-towchapter president, said the
dispute with the national organization started last March after
the Hamilton unit adopted a resolution stating it would not restrict membership "for any reason-o- f

Poetic Perils
To The Editor:
My old man came to town today
To check my bills he had to pay.
He finally found me in the Grill,
Drinking Cokes with some big wheel.

He stood and watched, unknown to me;
While I spent his money quite freely.
He finally broke my social twirl
By cursing wildly in the whirl.
"My clear son," he said to me,
"You're living quite expensively!"
"But, my dear pop, oh can't you see,
It's my four-yea- r
course in Grillology!"
"That's not the principle involved;
There's still a problem to be solved.
Grillology may be okay,
But all those Cokes won't make your
grades!"
The moral here is plain to see:
A" semester's average requires a C.
Grillology may be a breeze,
But still you have to make those C's.
So let the boy spend all his "mon,"
And let him have lots of lun.
When all the mon goes, so will he
But he could make that C a B.

(In no way docs the following column
lefer directly or indirectly to Sue Bueh-anathe very attractive Keys queen).
Most campus beauty queen contests
aie absurd in their inconsistencies. They
are situations only for .ridicule ami certainly not for serious acceptance. The
Keys Queen contest, which supposedly
crowns the "most beautiful sophomore
woman" at UK, is an example.' To select
a "beautiful woman" by a popular vote
rather than consider such merits "as
beauty, poise, grace and talent is ridicu-Jou-

h,

s.

In such contests, it is obvious even
before the dance that only three or four
.

girls can be considered as serious contenders for the queen title those who
we sponsored by the largest fraternities
or sororities, or jointly by a large fraternity and sorority. The Creeks, quite
naturally, will appear at the dance in
full titrength to insure their candidate
a victory.
Certainly the Greeks can't be blamed
for taking advantage of their size to get
another trophy, as long as the rules of
he contest ermiMt, It seems, however,
that sKnsoring organizations of dances
would take care in setting up a queen
"ontest that would add some "dignity to
.the otherwise empty title of queen.
Let's hope the Homecoming Queen
contest will be genuine and worth paying
attention to. Get some judges in on it!
OUR MAILBOX this week yielded a
letter to this column. Since it was um
signed, we cannot print it here, but it
was interesting and some paraphrasing
of the letter is in order.
The letter referred to a column by this
wiiter that was critical of an, order
boys to diess a cenain way in

the Donovan Hall cafeteria. The letter-write- r
asked me if I had ever heard
of restaurants requiring customers to wear
ties and coats, fraternities requiring members to dress lor dinner, or a family
which required sons to also dress for

dinner.
Answer: What the anonymous letter-write- r
mentions is common knowledge.
But people who eat in such restaurants
as mentioned or live at a . fraternity
house do so voluntarily, and by doing so
they accept the dress requirements. This
is fine. But the situation at Donovan
Hall is different. Those boys have to eat
there.
The previous column complained that
there was no justification for forcing men
to adhere to dress standards when they
have no choice about where they eat.
This is the same as requiring people to
dress in a prescribed manner for classes,
where attendance is required. While seeing everyone formally attired might be
pleasing to some eyes, it is still an infringement iqon a person's individuality
to make him drcss a certain way.
Other cases of attempts to regiment,
people in their habits are evident at
UK. The House Presidents' Council says
girls should not be on campus in Bermuda shorts unless they are in a'P. E.
class. Now it is immaterial to this writer
whether girls wear Bermudas at home
or on campus. But the idea of that invasion of someone's will is repulsive.
"But it is a question of taste," the
council might say. Sure it is a question
of taste, but it is the individual's taste
that is important, not the opinion of a
council determining everyone's dress.
Thank you for your letter, Mr. Anony,
mous.

Then, after making

the spokesman said,
that .the ionosphere simil.uly reflects cosmic rays back into space. These
rays arc captured in the earth's magnetic
field and thus a wide belt of trapped,
concentrated radiation is created.
The cxiremely dense field of radiation found by Pioneer and the Explorer
satellites, Dr. Naher believes, will dissipate when the (urrcnt period of solar
flares ends.
Solar flares, also known as sunspots,
arc caused when tremendous explosions
many times more powerful than any
hydrogen bomb occur on the surface of
the sun.
These flares arc accompanied by emissions of radiation. It is this radiation,
splashing against the earth's protective
ionosphere, which Dr. Naher believes
forms the lethal zone of cosmic rays
around the ea nh.
"In a lew yeais, when the period of
solar excitement has dwindled," the
spokesman said, "we may find that the
radiation zone has vittually disappeared.
We can expect it to build up again
with the next cycle of sun spots."

(Re the questions asked in your first
paragraph, gentlemen, we rather doubt
that Norman's "irrational views' were
prompted by failure to get into campus
organizations. In addition to being editor

journalism fraternity; a member of the

Scientific Dating
To The Editor:

by

impressed by the profundity of
Dr. Leslie's most penetrating study of
dating. The joys oi scientific living are
here at last! Not before the adxenl of
the sociologist that master scientist who
draws conclusions purporting to direct
our lives from "qucstionnaiics of high
school and college students" have we
really known how to live.
The pattern is fixed; and if we refuse
to follow, this scientist or social worker
(one hesitates to specify) looks us deeply
in the eyes, reiterating without a blush:
"You have a problem."
He classifies us as orderly as the elements; his norms aie fixed, as dull and
dehumanized as masvproduccd gadgets.
His prescriptions for dating and marriage
are set forth as universal panacea. Since
I d not lokvlor a wife who "krww htvw
to cook and keep house," a fresh little
home economics major with bright eyes
and.dishpan hands, bobby socks and a
mind that wanders nimbly fiom cookery
to the stratosphere of science fiction until it alights gingerly on a Pat Boone
and. since 1 have missed that great "advantage," so cogently emphasized by Dr.
Leslie, "over (my) patents (of) casual
talks around the drugstore." I mournfully hang my head, remembering the
exclamation of G. B. Shaw: "What will
people think!"

Sour Grapes?
To The Editor:
Was the purpose, if there was one, of
Gurney Norman's ("Much Ado" column)
of Oct. 9 to excuse his own shortcomings? Is it jK)ssible that his own grades
aren't as high as he feels they should
be? Has he been refused membership in
an organization he wanted to join? The
reader suspects there must be some personal reason for his irrational views.
In his
raving, he has ruthlessly condemned good grades, honorary
fraternities, the Leadership Conference
and all other campus activities that
wiingness to work.
m
Membership in ahnost any of our
campus organizations is a good opor-tunitfor development of leadership
abilities and should not be any great
handicap to college students.
It is tiue that it may be possible to
belong to so many organizations and to
participate in their activities to such an
extent that grades may be poor. However, if students can belong to fraternities and still make good grades and
attain membership in the honorary
and sororities, they ceitainly
have nothing to be ashamed ol. On the
contiary, they are examples ol what will

Something happened last Monday afternoon which I feel deserves immediate clarification.
The Students Party named this
writer as its chairman for the
fall semester. This immediately
brought to light the future of this
column, which up until now has
dealt with campus affairs.
When I learned of the SP's decision I considered the fate of this
column thoughtfully and I had
frankly considered dropping it.
But with farther consideration
with the Kernel editor, I have
decided to continue the column.
This I am doing because there
are many other areas besides SC
nnd campus politics which will
warrant comment.
Delta Upsilon Makes Move
Tuesday night IFC heard a
presentation' on behalf of a proposed colony for Delta Upsilon
fraternity. The sales pitch was de-- ;
livered by the general secretary of
DU. Otis J. Hill.
After his presentation, Hill presented another petition to IFC.
A motion to accept the petition
was followed immediately by a motion to delay action until Oct. 28
