Grrw Out Of Request
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.
