An unusual
party theme, a

Kappa Sigma fraternity last week- nd.
"This is Just one of the variety
parties we plan to hold throuph- out the year," Johnny Fitzwater,
tot ial chairman said.
They got the idea from the Kappa Sig chapter at the University
f.f Colorado at the fraternity conclave held last August in Portland,
Ore.
As for the costumes, "most of
outthe girls wore
fits. One girl had an outfit made of
beach towels sewn together,"
Fitzwater said.
The boys were attired mostly in
"skirt-type
affairs" or bernnidas.
"I wore a size 50 football jersey,"
he commented. "A little large,"
chuckled the rather thinly built
Fitzwater.
Other costumes ranged from
burlap sacks to Roman toga-typ- e
ensembles.
The decorations consisted of
giant cardboard scissors, an over-Fi?e- d

Explaining The Budget

The University's budget request
has come under
for the years 1962-6some heavy criticism as of late. Some
of the criticism probably is justified
open and intelligent discussion
But,
brings better understanding.
other parts of this criticism have been
unwarranted, simply because those
persons who were doing the criticizing did not have their facts straight.
One of the first charges brought
against the University and the Kernel
is that we have attempted to withhold
the more pertinent facts about the
proposed budget, as if to imply the
University has something to hide.
This is entirely wrong. In the first
place, these papers are open for inspection by any citizen who chooses
to do so.
Secondly, it would be next to impossible for the Kernel or any other
newspaper of any size to print all the
information involved. Hardly a newspaper in Kentucky would have the
space to print a complete breakdown
of all this information.
One reason for the "nervous" attitude of some persons about the more
than 50 million dollar request may be
that they think the University simply
pulls this big, shining figure out of
"thin air" and says this is what is
needed for UK to operate on during
r
the next
period.
Anyone who has any understanding at all about how this or any
should
other university
operates
know that drawing up a budget is
not an overnight operation. Formulation of UK's budget involves months
of planning, evaluation, and discussion. It begins at the departmental
level.
In this beginning stage, the individual departments try to visualize
in terms of additional personnel, salary increases to hold present personnel, and what will be needed in terms
of new money for equipment needs.
Then, from each department these,
needs are consolidated into the entire college-leve- l
request, finally making up the Division of Colleges' bud
4

two-yea-

get needs. This is an oversimplification of the process, but it gives some
idea of the fact that making out a
budget is not a simple matter.
After the budget request is approved by the Board of Trustees, the
request is then submitted the Budget
Division of the Department of Finance in Frankfort. Hearings on UK's
request and those of other Kentucky
colleges are then held so these requests may be weighed together.
One only has to think of the expanded role of UK during the past
five years to see why the cost of operation has increased. It has been
pointed out before that if the University was operating on the same
scale as it was five years ago, an increase of between 9 and 10 million
dollars for the biennium would be
sufficient.
With the approval of the citizens
of the Commonwealth, UK has added
programs to benefit the people such
programs as those in the College of
Medicine, College of Dentistry, College of Nursing, the University Hospital, the geological mapping program for the state, and the academic
building facilities development.
The Medical Center section of the
request alone stands at $6,659,293 for
1962-6and $S,31S,930 for 1963-6compared with the $3,507,000 necessary for its limited operation during
4

3

1961-62- .

It has also been said that the
Committee of 240 was formed this
year for the purpose of promoting the
budget request. This is not a true
statement of fact; the committee was
created a number of years ago for
the purpose of promoting; the University to prospective students
throughout the state. It is composed
of two UK students from each Kentucky county, and they have no more
financial interest in the budget than
any other UK student.
For those persons who take it
upon themselves to discuss the budget, we would only ask that they be
sure of their facts before going off
the deep end.

Dr. Dawson's Patent
Just recently, Dr. Lyle R. Dawson,
head of the Department of Chemistry, was granted a patent on a
fundamental process for extracting
and purifying plutonium.
Sometimes it is hard to realize
there are men of this caliber on campus. Actually, to many of us University atmosphere has meant nothing
more than the grill,
parties, and the more serious, classes,
the library, and studying.
But with a step backward and
another look we discover a UK faculty memlxT who developed a faster
process to separate and purify the
fissionable material used in the atomic
bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1915.
For his work, which was kept secret 15 years, Dr. Dawson was awarded
the U. S. War Department's Certificate of Merit in 1916.
The development was made while

the department

head was serving as

a research chemist and group leader

of the atomic bomb project during
World War II at the University of
Chicago. The patent, encompassing
13 variations of the process and utilizing 40 solvents, was turned over
to the Atomic Energy Commission
by Dr. Dawson.
It does not seem the word "congratulations" would be in order for
a scientist who has spent years dedicated to a development such as this;
rather, laudatory recognition and appreciation for a man who has forwarded chemical processes would be
more appropriate.
And what would be just as important would be our own realization that the University of Kentucky
has among its faculty our instructors
men and women who are leaders in
their fields.

THE READERS' FORUM
Knzzing Idle Freshmen
To The Editor:
We would like to take advantage
Kernel editorial colof the
umns to rant and rave, and scream,
and tear our hair, and beat our
breasts, and deplore the decline and
abuse of senior privileges. ROAR!
To be accurate, there are none.
The only remaining vestige of this
tradition is at the end of spring
when senior girls get to stay out a
r
late on week nights. But
who wants to go out during final
week?
It isn't enough that we have to
pay social fees. (These are for coffee
and doughnuts alas and anon!) We
also have to take desk duty. This is
a bother and a bore. As seniors, we
think this is one thing we ought to
get out of. We work 35 hours a week
and take full school loads as well.
Personally, we have too much to

Wants More Faels
To The Editor:
I was most interested in today's
(Thursday, Oct. 5) editorial entitled
"Interest in Our University," particularly the discussion of the problem
of the 26 faculty members who declined to attend the 1961 leadership
Conference. You ask: "Is the faculty
really interested in aiding the students who are sincere about their university'''"
I assume this
question was not intended to be rhetorical or a sort of
snide remark. Why don't you, in the
best traditions of journalism, find out
why the 26 refused to attend the
feast? Maybe they attended in past
years anil were bored by discussions
on how to become a leader. Maybe
they feel that the conference deals
with leadership in the extracurricular

of college and university life,
rather than with intellectual leadership. It may be that they were asked
too late and had other appointments.
It may be that their lack of interest
is not as typical of the faculty as you
imply. It may be that they doubt
whether the Leadership Conference-iactually attended by "students who
are sincere about their university."
(What does "sincere" mean in our
sentence? It reminds me of the "sincere necktie" in a icceiit novel.)
I haven't the slightest idea why
26 faculty members refused to attend
the 1961 Leadership Conference but
then, neither hae you. I doubt that
it is an indication that the faculty
is not really interested in aiding the
students who aie sincere (whatever
that means) about the University. But
you have the staff why don't you
find out?

'Hustler9 Is 'Hollywood',
With Some Good Points

In our
American baby culture, we seem to
be overalnindant with writers and artists who have those death-wissaints who debauch
complexes, those
themselves infinitely, and, like Himbaud, never reach their
absolute (while alive).
Having exhausted themselves mentally and physically,
traveling as far and as fast as experience will take them, there
is now lu re for them to go: death Incomes final, absolute, their
salvation.
This seems to be the conclusion of our age. Of course there
have always been Shelleys and Keatses and other romantic
but now we are approaching this idea with a
leverent understanding of its true significance. We are on a
true decline now, playing up our own extinction for all it's
pseudo-artisti- c

Even though Paul Newman and
Piper Laurie are billed as the stars
of "The Hustler," the acting laurels must be shared by Jackie Gleason and George C. Scott.
Gleason, whose talents range
from funnyman to maestro,
handles the role of Minnesota Fats
with the ease of the veteran actor
that he is. Gleason is by far the
t rtnnt'ktenf rhiarastpr in thp
picture and he is delightful in his
portrayal. The part of a "poolroom
heavy" is one which Gleason ob- viously enjoyed and through his
enthusiasm we enjoyed him.
George C. Seott, the evil man of
Hollywood, was as suavely nasty as
could be imagined as the gambler,
Bert. Playing many scenes wearing
a pinstripe tab collar shirt and
sunglasses, he sneaked through his
suruc
roie rrminiimB one ui
shoed snake.
Scott, master of the evil smile,
had only a few shaky moments
during the entire production and
these may be attributed to the bad
story line.
Paul Newman, as the young pool
shark, is an actor with a wealth
of talent. Throughout the picture
he brilliantly slouches, sneers, and
smirks, and is usually believable
until the final scene. This scene,
nowever, is sucn a wonaeriui com- bination of Hollywood romanticism
and claptrap that even a Paul
Newman was quickly bogged down
and much, if not all of his and the
film's good work was lost.
Piper Laurie, as Sarah the al- coholic mistress, "coed type," does
a nlce JD wnn an exiremeiy an- ficult part. Miss Laurie wanders
through half of the picture clad
in a slip, bourbon and Shakespeare in hand, saying very wise
things through her booze numbed
lips. And she does this so con- -

and anxiety that the existentialists and our other contemporary
thinkers can conjure up.
Of course the writers of the Ixist Generation and
formally instituted all this. Scott Fitzgerald, for instance, is one of the spiritual fathers of our own
age. Scott predicted his own demise in his writing much
as he predicted that of future generations. He couldn't live
apart from his characters. They drank themselves to death, and
he liked his characters so much he couldn't help bci'im influ- meed by them.
W hich brings to mind
Dolce Vita," this thing carried to
an extreme. This film portrays note, Fitzgerald's 20's multiplied three times. Fitzgerald's people were mere rushees,
dabbling in drink and perversion. Fellini's characters do everything the right way, totally immersing themselves in the sins
that we have been cautiously approaching, in our temptation
to loosen our puritan bonds.
"La Dolce Vita," besides being the only thing valid to touch
American screens in who knows when, has nice little strains
of music with the eerie, aimless sameness of the film, a sweet
little thing just like the sweet life deceiving, savage, sickening. La Dolce is u glorified, sophisticated, grotesque (i.e., artistic) version of campus life, only it is the decadent Italian
nobility and not the decadent American children.
And then there are those Iik Henry Miller, whom nothing
