Durnit's
mother
resided
In
Cooperstown until it was discovered that she was going to have
puppies. She was then sent to the
pound. Someone adopted her two
days before the nine puppies arrived. Her new owner gave one of
the male puppies to a psychology
instructor.
The instructor was unable to
keep the dog, so he called the
Lambda Chi house. The fraternity
ai;reed to take the puppy, and that
Is how Durnit and his daddy got
together.
Soon the call, "Come here Dammit," will sound like a corrected
slip of the tongue. It will probably
be, "Come here Dammit, Durnit."

a fatherly Interest In his son. He
comes running whenever Durnit
ciies." Smith added that It looks
ns though the pup Is going to be
the master of the family, because
he really gives his father a rouyh
time.
Dammit, who was only six weeks
old when the Lambda Chls got
him, has been the fraternity's
mascot for two years.
Durnit, like his mother Is entirely black except for a white streak
on his chest.
Dammit is a purebred German
Shepherd, but Durnit is ioit of a
mixture; his mother is part Fox
Terrier. Durnit has eight brothers
and sisters.

Negro Basketball Pros
Are Denied Service;
Refuse To Perform
Seven N r g r o professional
haski thall plat rs were refused
service at the J hocnix Hotel
Tuesday. As a result all seven
refused to participate in the
exhibition yame held in Memorial Coliseum that niiht.
The players involved were Bill

Boston Celtics, and Woody Saulds-berr- y
and Cleo Hill of the St.
Lcuis Hav.ks.
Several of the fans who rame to
the game tried to get their money
ret umled when they learned that
the players had not khoun up.
Dick Rushing, of the UK Alumni Association, sponsors of the
game, said, "It is a terrible thing,
and we certainly refiet it a great
deal. However, we were notified
about it only a few minutes before
the game, and there was nothing
we could do. As late as 7:45 p.m.,
when the Boston team came on
the floor, v.e still had hopes that

the players would reconsider and
participate in the game."
Ait Lang, assistant manager of
the Phoenix Hotel, said the hotel
did not have discriminatory policies, and the refusal to serve
Negroes in the hotel's coffee shop
resulted from a misunderstanding.
"Lang said he heard about the
incident 20 minutes later, and
"would have served the boys on
the house if he rould have contacted them.
"The unfortunate thing was that
it mushroomed so fast before I
knew about it," Lang said.
T. H. Hardwicke, managing director of the Phoenix, said that
the hotel does not have discriminatory policies in the dining rooms
against anyone registered in the
hotel. He added that the hostess
in the coffee shop did not understand the situation.
Boston coach Red Auerbach said
it was the third experience of this
type the Celtics have had. When
the players went to the coffee
shop they were told the hotel
would not serve them. He said the
players got "real emotional" and
said they wanted to go home. He
tried to talk to them without success, and when they refused to
play, the two Negro players on the
Hawks team also declared they
would not participate in the exhibition.
Auerbach railed the Boston of

Proposed Budget Reflects Need
For Attracting Young Scholars
(Editor's Note: The University of
Kentucky has asked the General
to appropriate the largest
budget request in its nearly
history. This is the first of a
rt
series explaining why the
University nerds the money and
how it intends to use it.)
UK's struggle to attract and retain young scholars of promise is
reflected in its recent budget increase request.
A barrier in attracting these
young scholars is the lack of funds
to interest qualified teachers and
adminiInstructors,
University
strators say.
In teaching achievement, pro
fessional accomplishment and re- "'ch output the University is
beginning to run into trouble in
the lower age bracket. President
Frank G. Dickey recently stated.
But he said UK's top echelon of
professors compares favorably with
other state universities.
"The University will be unable to
sustain its now favorable position
unless we are able to attract and
retain these young men of promise
who will in later years replace
established scholars," Dr. Dickey
said. "And at the present salary
scale, we are unable to get the
first-rat- e
men of promise."
The Division of Colleges section
of the budget request includes ex- penditures for seven colleges. Al- most of this is scheduled
for salaries, part will go for new

programs, capital outlay, and ad- ditional faculty members to take
care of increased enrollment.
The Department of Radio, Tel- evLsion and Films wants equipment
to take care of state needs for
educational
television, and the
College of Law has requested funds
to begin a program of clinical
training for its students.
Extended Programs wants additional faculty members to take
care of expanded enrollment at
the University's five centers. And
the College of Engineering has
said it nerds to replace outmoded

research equipment in electronics,
engineering materials, fluid
chanirs, and heat transfer.
The College of Agriculture and
Home Economics has asked for
funds to activate the Department
of Forestry authorized by the
Board of Trustees more than a
year ago. Increased funds for instructional materials are said to
be necessary for nearly every college. The proposed budget would
also meet the increased costs for
student services, library operation,
general institutional services, and
administration.

She has won a phone
for her room for a year.
Hymson's and Peter Pan Bras
jointly sponsored a recent drawing
for high school and college girls.
The lucky winner received a phone
in the color of her choice for a year.
This week, I'm interrupting our
parade of outstanding UK coleds in
order to introduce you to a high
school girl who has no communication problems anymore.
Grayce said that she is thrilled
with the prospect of having her own
phone and that all her female classmates at Lexington Catholic are
rather envious.
Although she is only a freshman,
Grayce enjoys attending UK football games and thinks that the suit
she selected at Hymson's is perfect
for them. It is styled on youthful
lines with a short, chopped jacket
and a
pleated skirt. The
jacket has tiny fake pockets and
r
sleeves.
Grayce accents the luscious blue
wool of the suit with taupe accessories. A perky blue "bow" hat
completes an outfit that is as approas it is for a
priate for a UK
sophisticated high school student.
Mrs. Flora Skaggs also wears
fashions from Hymson's. She shows
one version of a fashion favorite,'
the wool knit. This one in blue is
styled with a jewel neckline,
sleeves, and a diagonal detail. She wears anthracite ropes
with it.

Welcoming The Debaters
Notre

Most UK students push their
chests out at the sight of the
trophies won by the Wildcat-Fiv- e
and scream themselves hoarse
pleading for the "Cats" to make a
touchdown, hut a lot of times we forget the other "games" in which the
University has scored first place.
Last year the varsity debate team
brought home 11 first places and six
second places out of 19 attempts. In
o
fact, in the University of
Branch tournament, UK defeated 238 debaters to become the
only undefeated team in the tournae
ment. That is an impressive
record.
Activity on a football field or a
basketball court takes quick thinking, but the action in front of a debate judge is just as calculating, just
as fast, and the competition just as
first-pla-

Illinois-Chicag-

win-los-

stiff.

Last year the University team met
debaters from the entire nation in the
Tau Kappa Alpha (a forensic fraternity) National Tournament to bring
home the second place trophy.
Today, tomorrow, and Saturday,
19 teams from all over Eastern and
Southern United States will converge
upon the campus for what can be
safely called the strongest
tournament in the nation.
The University debate team,
which will also participate in the
tournament, is sponsoring their fourth
annual
Invitational
Thoroughbred
Tournament. Some of the strongest
teams which will debate are from

Dartmouth, Northwestern,
Dame, Miami of Florida, Ohio State
University, South Carolina, and the
University of Florida.
Most assuredly there will not be
any huge stadium in which to follow these debaters or side lines from
which to yell with school spirit, but
there are seats in the Medical Center,
where the tournament is being conducted, to watch from, and a school
pride we could cultivate for our own
top ranking debate team.
We welcome these men and
women who will shortly arrive and
wish them as much strong sportsmanship and competition as they might
see on any gridiron field or basketball
court.

Kernels
What must occur in the classroom
in order to promote openness, activity and depth in the student's
mind? First there must begin in the
classroom a dialogue a dialogue between professor and student, between student and student, but most
importantly between the student and
himself. This dialogue must be open
and frank. It must represent the
meeting of idea with idea, but more
significantly of personality with personality: for there must begin in the
classroom a relationship between
members of a community, an academic community that understands
itself in terms of its academic life.
-- X. F. Tennille.

Cartoon by Le Pelley

(The Chrmtian Science Monitor)

Watch Your Step!
Some of the University's "growing pains" are a discomfort and even
a danger for students and UK personnel, but efforts are being made to
ease some of the pain and lessen
the danger.
The excavations near the Margaret
I. King Library have been responsible for much of the "pain" and
complaining of late. Aside from the
noise, these giant pits have presented
danger for students, especially at
night. The area has been poorly
lighted and poorly protected since the
project began. These pits also have
broken up walkways between certain
buildings causing students some inconvenience.
Fortunately, to our knowledge no
one has been injured. Unfortunately,
the construction company, until a few
days ago, had shown complacency
toward constructing any kind of retaining fence to keep unsuspecting

persons from falling victim of the
"gorge." It seems, to some extent at
least, that the construction company
would be aware of the danger. If
not, then it would appear the University would assume an awareness
of the danger imposed by the excavation.
A Kirnil editor pointed this out
Monday morning to Dr. Frank D.
Peterson, vice president for business
administration, who investigated the
situation. Dr. Peterson asked the construction company to erect a fence
around the area. Within the hour,
construction of a fence was underway.
Some students may find the fence
an inconvenience since their trodden
paths may be temporarily disrupted,
but this is some of the pain for which
their is no sedative.
We feci this action, however, will
soothe some of the pain of the University's expansion ami development
program.

Views On Budget, Publicity, Football Critics
Criticism
To The Editor:
My criticism of the new University budget as expressed in my previous letters to the Kernel was
Last week, President Frank G.
Dickey invited me to his office to
discuss the budget. He spent more
than an hour of his valuable time discussing the budget, its preparation,
the University's planning process, and
other related subjects.' I have never
been more courteously received, nor
more considerately treated!
President Dickey made arrangements whereby Mr. Clay Maupin of
the Accounting Division and Dr.
Frank D. Peterson, vice president for
business administration, would take
time to go over any of the University's documents concerning these
matters. The president explained that
these are public documents.
At the end of the visit, I could
only echo President Dickey's words:
"I only wish that there was time
enough to sit down with every student and discuss this in such detail."
Due to the sheer mass of these

financial statements and my busy
schedule, I am not able to take advantage of Dr. Dickey's, Dr. Peterson's, and Mr. Maupin's offer to inspect all of these documents. I only
can wish that some vehicle can be
found to portray the important facts
that they contain to everyone so they
finanmay support this
cial program.

Little Effort 3Ialc
To The Editor
The men's residence halls held
their annual elections last Tuesday
(Oct. 10). Of the candidates running for office, I was only familiar
with a couple of them. This, I believe, is the situation of the majority
of students within the dormitories.
Little effort is made to introduce the
candidates to the students, and consequently, the voting becomes arbitrary when it comes to making a
choice on the ballot.
As a publication by the students
and for the students of the UK campus, I would like to ask why the
Kernel does not make an effort to
present these candidates to the cam

pus? It appears that the governing
assemblies of dormitory students serve
little function in the eyes of the
Kernel. Has it occurred to the Kernel
that the future Greek leaders start
their academic and social lives in the
dormitories? Is it asking too much
for a little recognition of our dormitories by the Kernel?

Keratin,; The Players
To The Editor:
We have a thought or two that
we would like to pass along concerning criticism of the football team.
It is true that a fan has the right
to criticize, and nobody should deny
any UK student this right, nor the
right to root for Ole Miss, or Alabama, or any other team in or out
of the Southeastern Conference, lint
when it deteriorates to hanging signs
on Wildcat Manor (when the players aren't there) or calling the players pansies, phonies, etc., from the
relative safety of the 3Sth row of
MacLean Stadium, this somehow

seems to us to cease to be fair fan
criticism.
These grandstand Paul Ilornungs
who, between nips from their "courage kits," berate the players with
smart aleck remarks designed to impress their dates or anyone else within reach of their golden throats, are
missing one of the truly finer things
in life. Why ridicule a given player
when he has no way of feeling the
lash of your blistering quips?
What better thrill could one get
than to toddle over to the practice
field some sunny afternoon and call
Goode, or Hawthorne, or Hutchinson, or Turner, or any other player
who meets your displeasure, olf to
one side and call him these things
right to his face. Wow! Bring your
girl. Rring your pals. Satisfy this
burning desire to tell these guys just
what you think of 'em . . . RIGHT
TO THEIR FACES!! Pour it on! Rip
'em up!
Then we'll respect your comments,
fellow. We'll even serve as your
stretcher bearers.
