Formation of the Student Loyalty
Committee arose from a request
made several weeks ago by Helen
King, secretary of the UK Alumni
Association.- Miss King told certain
representatives of SGA that class
presidents would help students keep
in touch with the University after
graduating, working with the Alumni Association.
An allocation of $75 was voted to
help meet expenses of former
Alben S. Barkley, who will
appear on the campus May 7 to
speak at the Law College's annual
Law Day. The motion to allocate
the funds was met by a wave of protests. Several members said that
such an action would set a "dangerous precedent," leaving SGA
open for money requests by various
campus organizations desiring
speakers.
Motion Passed
The motion was finally passed
after it was pointed out by James
Kostes, who made the motion, that
a man of Mr. Barkley's stature deserved special consideration by the
Assembly.

UK Students, Faculty
Discuss Required 1.3
The rules committee of the University Faculty met last Tuesday
afternoon with representatives of
the Interfraternity Council.
Mortar Board, YMCA. and
the Student Union Board to discuss
the 1.3 standing requirement for
fraternities and sororities. The rule
was passed last year by the Faculty.
Dr. Richard L. Tuthill. registrar
and chairman of the committee, began the discussion by summarizing
the passing of the rule. George
Lawson, president of the Student
Government Association who made
an appeal to the Faculty of the
rule last February, told the groups
why IFC had appealed the rule.
"The big objection to the rule,"
Pan-hellen-

Lawson said, "is that IFC felt it
was capable of bringing up the
scholarship of the fraternities, and
it felt the rule was strenuous."
Dean A. D. Kirwan gave figures
for the pa.st five years showing the
relationship of fraternities"s standings with the all men's average.
Dr. Leo Chamberlain, vice president
of UK. pointed out that "individuals
do not have to make a 1.3 standing,
but only the fraternity."
Dr. Tuthill asked that IFC members turn in written form what

they want and their reasons. The
committee will be convened at a
later date for another meeting, h
said.

independents and 13 Greek students, which is a
fairly balanced ticket.
We are for fraternities and sororities all the way,
as is proven by our stand on the University Faculty's 1.3 ruling. In another editorial on this page,
we took the side of fraternities and condemned the
rule. We stated that such a rule discriminates
Greek and non Greek students, which we
are against. The Constitutionalist's choice to run
only fraternity and sorority memlx'rs is also discriminating ln'tween Greek and non Greek students.
It would lx detrimental to our student government and to our campus if SGA should fall into
the hands of fraternity and sorority memlxrs only.
Independents would resent this, and friction could
possibly arise ln'tween the Greeks and non Greeks.
We are fortunate in not having a friction problem
between Greeks and independents here as many
colleges do. It is a serious problem on many campuses, and is hard to cope with.
Although we realize the Constitutionalist Party
is a Creek party, we leieve it would have acted
more wisely had they run some independents on
their ticket. After all. SGA is supposed to le composed of representatives of the University, and independents are as much of UK as are Greeks.

Food Reported
To Be Improved
The f(Xkl situation in the women's dormitory
cafeteria is reported to be improved. We are glad
to hear this, since we think it's alxnit time something is done alxnit the problem that has dragged
on semester after semester.
The matter was recently brought to the attention
of the campus by a Kernel editorial, letters to the
editor, and a petition signed by 300 dormitory girls.
However, most of the credit for the improvement
goes to Dean Sarah Holmes. After the petition and
letters appeared in the Kernel, Dean Holmes held
a couple of meetings with the dorm girls and asked
them for their complaints and suggestions. She said
most of the complaints were minor things and could
easily lx' amended.
Miss Frances Kendall, dietitian and acting manager of the dorm cafeteria, met with representatives
of the girls' dorms last week and also heard the
various complaints. She told the girls one reason
that the food is not lxtter prepared is Ixcause the
cafeteria kitchen is too small. She explained that
three meals a day cost the girls 3712 cents per meal.
This money has to pay for the fixxl, wages, utilities,
and everything else in the cafeteria, she said.
Several girls who eat in the dorm cafeteria said
they have noticed a definite improvement in the
food and more variety. "They're giving us more
variation in juices and salads," one girl said. Another said the grease is now Ix'ing drained off the
meats better.
At any rate, most of the girls seem satisfied with
the improvement. If Dean Holmes continues having meetings w ith the girls to hear their complaints,
the problem should not come up again.

Spring not only "will lx a little late this year,"
she's getting downright timid alxiut it.
In spite of last week s snow and this week's cold
rain, a few suntans, power mowers, and dandelions
have started blooming on the campus. If we're
lucky maybe we can start wearing cottons lxfore
final exam week.

after Gardner said that fraternities drew their members from average men. If this holds true for fraternities, then it only follows that the University
should require men to have an average standing to
graduate, which would lx 1.3 instead of 1.0 as it
is at present.
We are sure such a rule as this
would not lx passed, however, since it involves the
entire student lxidy instead of just fraternities.
The point we are trying to make, as we have said
before, is that the 1.3 ruling discriminates lx'tween
Greek and non Greek students and there's no way
around it, but Faculty memlx-rdon't consider this.
Rules that discriminate against one group are unfair.
Several things were discussed during the meeting
such as how the average men's standing is computed, past relationship of fraternities' standings
and the all men's average, IFC's action, etc. One
Faculty member suggested that a "running average"
for fraternities might lx installed. This means that
fraternities' standings would lx1 averaged over a
certain numlxr of years instead of just for one
year before action is taken against them. This
would alleviate the matter some, but it still doesn't
get around the discrimination phase.
The rules committee and fraternities plan to meet
again, at which time IFC members will present in
written form what they desire and their reasons.

SGA May Set

Bad Precedent
The Student Government Association may have
set a bad precedent last Monday night when it appropriated $75 to hwlp pay the expenses of former
vice president Alhen W. Barkley who will be the
principal speaker at the UK annual Law Day program next Thursday.
We are not questioning the speaker himself. What
students will gain from Mr. Barkley's speech will
well lx worth more than $73. We are interested
in what eflect SGA's choice to appropriate money
to one group of organizations to bring a guest
speaker to the campus will have on other organizations when they bring speakers here.
Law Day is sponsored by the Student Bar Association and the two UK legal fraternities, Phi
Alpha Delta and Phi Delta Phi.
In the future when campus events are held, such
as Religious Emphasis Week and foreign language
conferences, various organizations will think they
are also entitled to appropriations from SGA to
help pay the expenses of their guest speakers. The
answer given to this question at the Assembly was
that everyone knows Alben Barkley is more than
just an ordinary speaker. This may be true, but
SGA will have a hard time in convincing organizations that their respective speakers are not just as
important.

Scientists Go Back In Time
But Are Confused By Time
By RONNIE BUTLER

Dr. Wanever Wushhacky steps back from .the
electronic machine in front of him. He stares at it,
Dr. Kushever
then turns to his
Ban-wack-

"Do you think
Ummm . . .

it will

y.

work?"

"Ah, it's gooil to find a man with faith."
"Lhnmm . . ."
Dr. Wushhacky pulls a lever. Bolts of lightning

.

streak across the room, ozone and the scent of lilacs
come floating up from the complicated gadget.
"Think, just think, Banwacky. The first time machine!"
"Unuvun

.

."

Dr. Bushbacky pulls another lever. A dial registers 75.0001 volts.
"Ash! Not enough power. Hand me another
flashlight battery."
n
Ummm. r
volts and
The dial leaps all the way to 75,001
with joy, tears
two amps. Dr. Wushhacky leaps
stream down his face, extinguishing his pipe.
"Are you ready?"
"Ummm."
"Think, Banwacky, we're going to move back two
hundred years in time. We are on the threshhold
of the greatest adventure since Onionbreath discovered chlorophyll."
"Ummm . . ."
Wushhacky steps into a small compartment in
the middle of the machine, followed by Banwacky

"Oops, sorry. Wrong button."
Ummm . . .
The machine is ready. Power is applied, the
tubes glow, electrons bat all over the place, playing
leap-frowith neutrons, protons, mesotrons, and
morons.
The machine shimmers, disappears from the
lalxratory. It speeds through the fourth dimension
at the speed of light. A traffic cop gives them a
ticket. They slow down to the speed of sound and
continue, darting through the years like a knife
through oleomargarine at the SUB cafeteria.
There is a v iolent ripping sound. The machine
stops suddenly. History has lx?en made. Banwacky
belches.
"Ah, here we are in the 20th century. Aren't you
excited? '
"Ummm . . ."
.

g

"Ach!"

"Ummmmmmmmm!"
A clock chimes nine times, hundreds of students
pour out of various buildings. They stare at their
watches, at the sky, and at the sun. Some of them
pull out Quija Boards.
"What does all this mean?"
"Ummm . . ."
A distinguished looking gentleman walks up to
them.
"Could you give us some information?"
"Probably."
"Ummmmm . . ."
"Why is everyone acting so strange?"
The distinguished looking man stares at the two
visitors for a time, eats a banana, and explains the
University's time prob
