'Ashes To Ashes
By LINDA CHANDLER
Ash Wednesday-mark- ed
Yesterday
the beginning of Lent.

Approximately 1,600 Catholic
and Episcopal Students participated in Ash Wednesday services
at the Newman Center and Canterbury House.
The sacramental rite of imposing ashes on the forehead in
the sign of a cross is a reminder
of the Christian's death and a
sign of his commitment to penance. The ritual reads, "Remember man that you are dust
and to dust you shall returneth."
The ashes used are burnt residue of the Palms from the previous Palm Sunday. The Rev.
Ronald Ketteler of the Catholic
Newman Center said on "Palm

Sunday the palms are green
boughs signs of triumph and
now they become signs of penitence as one prepares for Fas-

The Rev. Dudley Barksdale
of the Canterbury House quoted

the Lenten Bulletin, concerning
the purpose and explanation of
Ash
Wednesday "Remember,
with these words and the imposition of ashes, generation after
generation of Christians have
been reminded of one of the most
obvious and one of the most
avoided facts of human living.
Try as we may to forget or to
gloss over it with pretty phrases,
the one thing of which we can

day puts this fact squarely before us. We are going to die
and we are going to have to face
God. Lent gives us, each year,
time for evaluating our liv es and
for recentering them on God."
Father Barksdale said that the
use of ashes derives from the
finity of man, "ashes to ashes,
dust to dust." The ashes symbolize death and the influence
of time on man.
Ash Wednesday begins the
fast period of Lent. The
period for fasting began as a
ceremony for those who were to
be baptized on Easter Eve. Later
it was lengthened to one week,
from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday and held for all members

Nationwide, the picture for
state support of higher education
is much the same as in Kentucky,
except that gains on a percentage basis arc not quite as substantial. State legislatures have
increased their support by more
than $1 billion, or 44 percent,
in the past two years, according
to Prof. Chambers' report. Dr.
Chambers warns, liowcver, that
these gains though impressive,
are not as phenomenal as they
may seem when measured alongside the increase in total population, the bulge in the population of college age, and the upward movement of the proportion of high school graduates

By DICK KIMMINS

Doctors meeting at the National Cancer Institute in Hethes-la- ,
Md. recently announced that
Hodnkin's Disease, a type of
cancer once thought to be incurable, can now be cured in
most cases.

Improved diagnostic
techniques have made it possible to detect cancerous growth
almost anywhere in the body,
according to Dr. Charles Zub-rodirector of intermural research at the Institute. "Today,"
he said, "there is more hope
than is generally appreciated."
The disease affects the body's
lympatic system. Often the first
recognizable sign is a lumb in
the lymph nodes in the neck.
Dr. William M. Winternitz,
director of clinical research at
UK's Medical Center, said he
agrees with Dr. Zubrod that
Hodgkin's Disease is now curable. "If the disease is localized, if it hasn't spread to all
of the body, we can, in many
cases, wipe out the cancer."
The National Cancer Advisory
Council, a group recommending
treatheavier dosages of
ment of the disease, says about
40 percent of the patients in whom
the disease is found in early stages
can be cured.
"Our percentage is considerably less than that," said Dr.
Winternitz. "We have many
cases; they naturally come to us
if they are detected east of here."
Dr. Winternitz emphasized
that the cure for Hodgkin's Disease is no instant thing. "We
are talking about 10 years in
some cases, if the disease is localized."
Despite the advances in treatment and cure, knowledge of the
possibilities for treating the disease are not widely known. This
is due partly because of the relative rareness of the disease.
The National Cancer Institute
estimates 3,200 Americans die
each year of the disease.

the
maternal
saidTues

Kleven housemothers
da they want the women's hours
system "tightened up." We offer
a better suggestion.
The University should tighten
up its student relations system, and
eliminate its housemothers.
The housemother system at the
University is but one more dreg
not yet siphoned away from the
in loco parentis concept, which
incidentally is being cast aside by
the Faculty Senate and has been
publicly degraded by Vice President for Student Affairs Robert
Johnson.
the statements
Throughout
made Tuesday by the housemothers
is the old saw that certain "irresponsible" women "abuse the privileges" of staying out late and
that thereby the women's safety is
endangered.
Two problems arise immediately.
First, we agree that it is unfair, and perhaps somewhat "irresponsible," for a coed to say she
will be in at 3 a.m. and not show
up until 4:30 a.m., for example.
This poses an unnecessary inconvenience for the roommate or whoever must wait up to let the coed
into the dorm. But, nevertheless,
it is absurd that adult women must
structure their evening plans to conform to a predecided time of returning to the dorm.
Furthermore, as one Pi Beta Phi
coed stated, her housemother does
not hesitate to deny what she considers
unreasonable
requests.
Strange it is that what may be
reasonable on Rose Street may not
be so on Columbia Avenue.
The second problem is the irrationality of thinking UK's frail
females are more vulnerable at 2:30
a.m. than at 10:15 p.m. Streets are
just as well lighted, almost as
heavily populated, and should certain Southern belles desire promiscuity, it is just as easy at 10
p.m. as it is at 2 a.m.
Something then seems to be seriously amiss with the housemothers; that something is logic
and consistency. Far more important than the inconsistencies they
seem to create, however, is the
fact of their presence at all.
Women at the University already have the right to govern their
nocturnal living conditions and
supposedly can change them should
they so desire. They make their
own rules. Vet, in effect, the enforcement of student-createrules
is left to housemothers.
There is no reason, then, why
a more effective, if imperfect, system already used in the men's
residence halls should not be initiated for the women. That is to
choose carefully screened and experienced students to run the living units. To a limited degree Women's Residence Halls use the student system, but they persist in
choosing elderly women as "head
residents" or housemothers, lend
d

care. Careair of
chosen students arc undeniably closer to the problems
faced by their charges and are more
flexible. Furthermore, support is
system
given to the student-ruthe fact that the women's male
by
counterparts run a far more efficient and effective system than
the housemothers do.
Certainly there must be lingering and nostalgic feelings for the
dear housemothers who commandeer maiden sanctity, and we do
not advocate dismissing them all
immediately. Rather, we would suggest that the University phase them
out quickly and remove any decisive or disciplinary powers from
them.
If the University women doper-sis- t

d
baby-beracks to school with them,

On Nov. 2 the citizens of California were given the chance to
express whose side of the story
they believed, and we all know
how that election came out.
There were several factors that
contributed to the Reagan landslide victory, and one of these most
certainly was Gov. Reagan's outspoken criticism of UC management.
Contrary to the opinion of some

A university exists for the benefit
ot the people ot that particular
state. When these people speak it
is the duty of the educators to can

be waited upon).
It is clear from the election

Lack of foresight has caused the
overcrowded condition experienced
now by the Northern Center. University officials are about to duplicate these blunders by ignoring the
need for a four-yea- r
college in
Northern Kentucky.
Dr. Oswald's reasoning is that
the Community College must continue to act as a feeder to the
main campus in Lexington. This
is a worthy objective but it is
being pursued at the expense of
students who are being deprived
of the final two years of their
college education. Which is the
greater good?
The financial burden ol attending the Lexington campus prohibits many students from doing so.
Therefore, their education is terminated alter the two years offered
at the Community (College.
