Dr. Dickey's comment was made
due to requests that the programs

be explained in relation to the

Campus events were emphasized

The Guignol plays. Student Union
Board events and UK athletic
events were suggested as places

The girls on the panel felt that a

event: This point was brought out
after the panel mentioned the fact
that some boys feel a little hesitant about asking a girl for a
date if they don't have access

What Price

y?

To the Editor:
I cannot relrain from writing
someone about the dismal season
of the UK Wildcats. Let me first
say that the public in general feels
that Coach Blanton Collier Is
among the best in the SEC and
that he in no way is responsible for
the poor showing of the team. No
coach can succeed under the conditions which Coach Collier must
operate.
First, the schedule of 1957 seems
to be the premature birth of an
idea born of a moron. No other
team in the SEC Jumps into conference competition in early "September and then on successive
plays the
teams of the conference, closing
out with Memphis State and
Xavier. As a result, Kentucky becomes a "breather" and "door mat"
for the entire SEC.
Second, the policy of the athletic department of UK in giving
preference to Kentucky boys for
football scholarships leaves Coach
Collier with no material with
which to build a team capable of
justifying the expense of supporting a football team.
Kentucky high schools supporting football are too few in number
to supply players to the University.
Their primary interest is basketball. While UK is constantly losing
games year after year, the best
material goes to other schools outside the state where they can play
on a winning team. After such a
poor showing in 1957, the future
looks dark for recruiting even
among the few schools of the
state. .
Forgive me for this expression
feeling in this matter but I
just wanted to know if you support
editorially the schedule and the
policy of using a majority of the
team from Kentucky.
A Kentucky fan,
"J. G. Long
Elizabethton, "Tenn.
(We certainly agree with you
that the Wildcats faced a rough
schedule this year, and also that
Coach Collier Is not altogether to
blame. A couple of years ago he
was hailed as "the most"; today he
receives nothing but criticism. It
doesn't follow that he would lose
all his abilities as a coach In such
a short time. The Ed.)

Many of us have served in the armed forces. Most of the

Commencement speakers this vear v i have to find a new
topic to speak on. Their cries against conformity have been
heard and taken up by almost everyone. Soon, now, the furor
will die from being overworked.
It is interesting to note also that several national magazines
have come forward to tilt with today's thought patterns and
attitudes.
One of them recently commented on the current low esteem
in which football pla)ers are generally held on the campuses
of the nation. It indicated that students are much more serious than they have ever been.
Another stuck more closely to the theme that today's students are practical, thoughtful conformists who never stick
their necks out. Both of these beliefs are partially true.
But the comforting fact is that these trends are not dangerous nor do they iifdieate that America's youth is becoming
a generation of intellectual eunuchs.
There are neither fewer nor more rebels today than there
have ever been. The record of man's civilization calmly points
to the fact that the great majority of people have always been
conformists. The few have always been different, and it is
nothing to become alarmed about if this continues to be so.
It is true that today's students are for most part serious
and practical. We do not swallow goldfish; we do not fall out

Skidoo" or "The Cat's Meow" or "Baby I'm A Sniek." As a
matter of fact, there has even been a drastic decline in panty-raid- s

There is, to be sure, a segment of today's student population that is as irresponsible as some of yesterday's "lost generation," but it is smaller and less vociferous. Most of the students of today are seriously going about the business of learning- without concerning themselves with

"Miserable Conformists
lived under the appalling shallow of war and death. Is it any
wonder, then, that most of us search for security? Are we intellectually fat because the prospect ol a comfortable, serene
by
life appeals to lis? Must we prove we are
wearing a Racoon coat and earning a pocket flask?
There is no shortage of rebcLs today, just as there is no
shortage of causes. We have simply inherited a world that is
ertain, and we are trying to
highly competitive and highly-unfind our place in it and make it better. If we choose to do so
quietly, must we be branded as a bunch of conforming idiots?
When the crises come as they inevitably must a few of us
will rise up to meet them and lead the way out, and the rest
of us will.gape and wonder and follow the leader. This is
nothing new.
It is as old as the history of man.

UNIVERSITY SOAPBOX

Darsie Says Student Offenses Are On The Increase
By JOHN DARSIE
Chairman, SGA Judiciary Committee

(John Darsie, in his capacity as chairman of the Student Government Association Judiciary Committee, is in
a position to speak authoritatively about the relationship
between University students and the Lexington city government. As usual, any opinions expressed in the series
of SOAPBOX articles in the Kernel are those of the
author and not necessarily those of the Kernel.
The Editor.)

The average student at the University of Kentucky
knows little of the workings of the .Lexington Judicial
System. Most students go through their four years of college without ever having been in contact with the civil
authorities. However, there are several students every
year who are picked up on one charge or another by the
Lexington Police. The charges vary all the way from reck- less or drunken driving to breach of the peace.
Few students realize the seriousness of these situations.
Half the good of a college education may be wiped out by
a conviction in a court of law. Few employers look favorably on a person who has any sort of police record and
la many eases this may be the deciding factor which determines a person's chances of getting a Job with a particular company.

men has worked out a very good relationship with the
authorities of the city. The judge realizes that most cases
involving students are "one time" offenses and that the
University can handle problems of discipline among its
students in a much more constructive manner than any
civil authority. He is not anxious to ruin the reputation
of any student needlessly but at the same time he has the
responsibility of protecting the citizens of the community
from people who disregard its laws.
Due to these facts, most cases involving students are
turned over to the University to be dealt with by the
Judiciary Committee of the Student Government Association. This system has worked very well in the past. Many
students who would ordinarily have been convicted in
court and subsequently fined or put in jail, have been
probated to the University.
However, in the past few weeks, the number of students appearing in court has increased alarmingly. Not
many days have passed without some student being
hauled into court for reckless driving, vandalism, or public drunkenness. During the past week two students were
charged with breach of the peace, one for being drunk in
a public place, and two for reckless driving. One of the
students - arrested for reckless driving tried to evade the
arresting- officers and had to be tracked down by them.
During- the chase he endangered, not only his own life

The dean of men and the Judiciary Committee are doing everything in their power to help students who get in
trouble. The time has now come uhen the students will
have to help themselves. Judge Ready i quickly coming
