group of tliphtly weaving, yelling, leaping boys again
stood bclcre Keeneland and began to sing.
From an uppT floor of Keeneland a firecracker was
thrown and a boy leaped out of the group to stamp on
the explcsicn and then, at the appearance of the police,
dashed c cross the yard and plopped into the center of a
small bush.

At that moment the police car pulled to a stop In
front of the dorm and the "ever vigilant" campus cops
flushed their prey from that bush In front of the dorm.
Resigned to the fact that they "had him," the raincoat clad boy went very quietly "arm-in-arwith the
policeman to the blue cruiser.
At this, the indignant coeds, watching from the
windows, shouted their disapproval by booing the four
lonely cops and singing "party poopcrs."
As the cruiser carrying the captured boy pulled away,
the getaway car appeared and unpiled a yelling, shout-

ing group.
"Come on boys, It's all right," one shouted. And as
if Robin Hood had called his merry band together, the
small crowd began to grow as boys seemed to materialize
from behind the bushes and trees.
They began to sing "My Old Kentucky Home" and
as the girls began to Join In, some policemen sat quietly
by in their cars while a couple of others paced around
ignoring the "serenaders."

"Jesus Loves Me" was the second selection while
"Show Me the Way to Go Home" followed, and the
serenade ended with "Good Night' Ladies."
Six piled Into the back seat of a nearby car and the
boys left In a fury of Jovial shouting although stopping to
sing one more song.
The policemen remained both cars visible by their
red tall lights. In the distance was heard "Jesus Loves
Me."

At 11:40 quiet returned and three policemen climbed
out of their cars to hash over the incident with a

passerby.
Some words of the conversation such as "state law"
drifted through the air. Then came "we pulled through
here and they must have hid."
"We're going to hang around here," one policeman
declared. Five minutes later a Ford raced through and
a fire cracker went off.
The blue cruiser turned around and headed down a
side street in hot pursuit seemingly to "cut him off at
the pass."
At 12:10 a.m., silence!

Missile Threat Adds Emphasis

To Liberal Arts Education Today
By RICHARD IIEDLUND
"The space potential and the
missile threat have given a new
practical value to the liberal arts
education, and that practical value
may include survival Itself."
This is now Dr. Holman Hamilton. UK History Department, summed up the responsibility of both
Mudrnts and instructors in the induction of the fine arts in American colleges today.
The former major in the United
States Army feels history and related subjects ran be of tremendous value to all Americans in the
"Age of Spare."
"It is easy to be deluded into
supposing that because of Russian
scientific success, we should base
cur educational system entirely on
the Soviet pattern." Much of the
Soviet education is based on science and mathematics.
Dr. Hamilton feels "it is vitally
important for more Americans to

become first rate linguists, and to
learn as much as they can about
the American past. The history
and characteristics of other nations
and people is also important," he
said.
Dr. Hamilton said there is no
basic conflict between interest of
free scholarship and duties of free
ritizenship.
"I am not sure that the students at UK are always adequately
challenged. Some of the best of
our recent A.B. graduates have told
me that they could have accomplished more than was demanded
of them," he said.
"On the other hand." Dr. Hamilton said, "speaking from my knowledge of the UK History Department, most of the graduate students of my acquaintance work
very hard on this campus, especially for the Ph.D. degree.
Dr. Hamilton is the author of
three books: "Z&chary Taylor:

Sholdier of the Republic" and
"Zarhary Taylor: Soldier In the
White House." Both were published
ll
Co. The Unithe
versity of Florida Press brought
out his "White Hou-iImages and
Realities" in I958.
Presently Dr. Hamilton is working on a fourth booi which he
hopes the UK Press will publish
next year.
Dr. Hamilton was a former reporter and editorial writer for the
Fort Wayne (Ind.i Journal-Gazett- e
both before and after World War
II. He feels that this training aided him in his writing.
"Scholars deal with detailed material and rind it difficult to clarify
their findings both for the grneral
public and other srholars. Writing
for the public press can help academic people achieve this purpose."
Dr. Hamilton said.
The UK Historian hastily added
that this qualification was not a
prerequisite for all scholars.

Loss Of A Good Friend
The loss of a friend is always a
great one, but when the friend is an
exceptionally treasured one, the loss is
greatly magnified.
The University is experiencing such
a loss with the resignation of Dr.
Herman E. Spivey, dean of the Graduate School since 1950. In the past
decade the University has undergone
a great readjustment. It is passing
from the status of a small school to
that of a truly great university not
merely in size, but in academic
stature.
When Dr. Spivey took over the
Graduate School, the Universitv stood
at a crossroads from which it could
go in any direction. UK has gone forward and growing with it and adding
to its stature has been its Graduate
School. The 1950s saw scientific exploration reach new frontiers and the
demand for people with graduate degrees grow manifold.
In Dr. Spivey's first year as graduate dean, the Graduate School, like
the rest of the University, was swelled
with veterans. The number of graduate students in 1951 was almost 900.
This figure dropped to 580 in 1953-5- 4
with the decline in the number
of veterans, but rose to 996 this fall.

The mere presence of Dr. Spivey
lent an air of high academic attainment to the University. He is a member of many scholastic societies and
groups. He is nationally known as the
chairman of the Gouncil of Graduate
Work of the Association of Land Grant
Colleges. Dr. Spivey has also served
as chairman of the Central Kentucky
Concert and Lecture Series.
While we mourn the loss of Dr.
Spivey to the University of Tennessee,
we are pleased to see a deserving
man receive such a position. We are
also pleased with the choice of a successor tor Dr. Spivey.
Dr. A. D. Kirwan has had a wide
educational and administrative background. Dr. Kirwan has written several books and served as both UK
football coach and dean of men. As
chairman of the powerful National

When Heading South...

next week, the annual flock of UK
students will begin migration south

is warm, the water is warm, and the

an added luxury to college life, provided you have the money or a friend
to aid you.

But all the same, the trip is a deserved one, after final exams and
studying and panic buttons and cramming and gallons of coffee and more
cramming.
The festivity, however, has its
dangers, not only to you personally
but to the State of Kentucky. It has
individual perils because of the
lengthy drive involved and the chance
of auto accident.
It has its dangers to the state in

protestation. Last year, one city refused to allow college students from
other states to visit after an outburst
of misbehavior.
The University will be represented
at least unofficially and a similar disturbance by UK students might seriously impair relations with the State
of Florida or one of its cities.
We are not intending to degrade
the purpose of the Florida trip, nor
are we opposed to it. But just remember who you represent.

It is only natural that night is different than day, hut it is not natural
and is a shame that University policy
concerning disciplinary matters varies to
the same degree as night to day.
The case in question, of course, is the
most recent in a longstanding,
nationwide college scandal
called cheating. Two months ago a
footballer of some acclaim was caught
in the act of breaking and
entering a University building and attempting to take an exam. This proven
was passed from department
to college to University to the final step
when the poor erring students were left
to decide the sad fate of said footballer.
Being a fair and understanding group,
the Judicial Hoard looked back to past
cases for precedent. I laving found a
similar case they handed down a recommendation for disciplinary probation.
The local journalists (for lack of a lietter
name) made a big issue of the shoddy
method in the disposition of this case.
This closes chapter one in the daik and
dirty annals of UK fall IWVMiO.
With the turn of the decade (two
months later), UK seems to have adopted
a disciplinary program founded on the
strong, sturdy shafts of honor. It is no

stronger than suspicion to warrant expulsion, suspension, and probation, (milt

Now, men of sound judgment, may

When chapter three in the dark and

Favoritism
To The F.ditor:

reg.ud to the recti. t suspension of
graduate student for alleged "cheata
ing."' we feel that the '"special committee'' appointed to try this case was unIn

just in its dec ision.
When a football plaver was actually
apprehended for stealing a test, the o)!y
disciplinary action taken was th.c the
student leceived an "K ' in the ionise
and was placed on disciplinary probation; he was even allowed to play in
the remaining games. Vet, this stuch nt
was expelled in a case which was not
substantiated by actual pi oof. This steins
like allowing a murderer to go free and
sending a person who runs a red light
to the gas thamlcr. Could it be that
there is favoritism towards the Athletic

Department?
Hecause the University leceived so
much adverse criticism for its dealing
with the football plaver, it was determined to make an example of the graduate student. No consideration was
shown one who lacks only a few houis
for the completion of a mastei's degree.
One more point why was the case
diverted from the Judicial Hoard to a
special committee? Is not the Judicial
Hoard the rightful body for ha'ym'ng
such a matter? This seems to us another
attempt by the faculty to stamp out student government. Congrauilations, faculty.

However, I am horrified to discover that
a college student writes a review with
