Dean Elton said the actual distribution of the materials to students will be left to the prerogative

said yesterday their students will

The adviser and his advisees will
work out schedules marking only
the course numbers and credit
numbers on one of the three schedule cards, leaving sections and class
numbers blank.
Then the student will go to Memorial Coliseum to learn which,
class sections are open. If there
are vacancies in the course the remaining Information will be completed at that time.
But if all sections of a desired
class are filled, the registrant will
replace the prescheduled course
with one which still has openings,
and has been approved by his adviser.
This will all be done in the Coliseum registration lines.
I'nder the old method, if a
course had to be changed the person having to make the change
was required to see his adviser.
Dean Elton indicated some doubt
whether all students would cooperate fully by discussing possible alternatives with their advisers and getting permission to
make changes before coming to

Music Depl. To Present
UK Symphony Orchestra

Tbe University Department of Music will present the
University Symphony Orchestra, directed by Robert King, in
the next University Musitales sc ries at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in
Memorial Hall.
The program is representative
of different periods in the development of symphonic music.
The Bach "Suite No. 1 in C
major" is typical of the early 18th
century suites with a dramatic,
impressive French Overture follower by stylized dances. It features oboe and bassoon solos to
provide contrast with the string
sonority.
The "Llm Symphony" of Mozart
was written in commemoration of
his visit to that city. The score calls
for oboes, trumpets, horns, string
and tympanl. The symphony starts
with a slow introduction, unusual
with Mozart. The second movement is notable for its emotional
depth and the finale is a splendid
example of Mozart's
closing movements.
The contemporary period is represented by "Music for Mourning"
by Taul Hindemith, a composition
for solo viola and string orchestra
written upon the death of King
George VI. Jan. 21, 1936.
After a quiet introduction, where
the solo viola is displayed against
a rather sombre, stark accompanseciment, a quiet, smooth-flowin- g
tion follows, with contrapuntal exchange between soloist and orchestra. The finale is based on a
Bach Chorale tune in English as
"Praise God, from Whom All
Blessings Flow."
The soloist, Mary Ellyn LaBach,
Lexington, is a student of Dr. Kenneth Wright, and was principal
violist of the Youth Orchestra before assuming the same position
with the University Symphony.

Getting Rid Of Deadwood

The recommendation of the Arts
and Sciences Division of Literature,
Philosophy, and the Arts that the
compulsory two semesters of physical
education be abolished as a requirement for a degree in Arts and Sciences is an imperative need if the
present deadwood in the University's
graduation requirements is ever to be
removed.
Such courses as physical education, General Hygiene (also recommended for abolition as an A&S degree requirement), and ROTC have
little to offer the student in the way
of really informative and intellectually stimulating material. They are
merely millstones hung around the
educational necks of students.
Of the three, only ROTC classes
are ever easily scheduled; the other
two consistently ruin freshman schedules and force the substitution of undesirable classes for desirable ones in
order to work such virtually useless
courses as Social Recreation or Folk
Dancing into the students' schedules.
It is argued that the two semesters
of physical education arc essential to
the physical fitness of University students and must not be done away
with. This may be right but we doubt
it. We doubt if two semesters of folk
dancing and roller skating materially
affect a student's physical well being
either favorably or adversely.
If, however, physical fitness is the
primary aim of the physicial educa

tion requirement, the present physical
education organization should be
thrown out and a more rigorous routine substituted. The United States
Marines have had years of satisfying
experience with a system of sand pits,
landing nets, climbing ropes, and
board fences that is attacked at full
contrivance
speed with a
called a full field pack strapped upon one's back. A similar course could
be installed here and male students
could be prepared for what will ultioccumately be their
pation soldiering, not chemistry or
engineering.
Then there is the matter of grades.
The student who is not blessed with
the quick coordination or muscular
prowess of his fellows must often see
an otherwise spotless academic record
besmirched by a low grade in a physical education course needed only because he wishes to attain a college degree so he can enter a profession
where his physical prowess is not a
qualification for advancement.
We applaud the Division of Literature, Philosophy, and the Arts for
its action and urge both the Arts and
Sciences Faculty and the University
Faculty to act favorably on the division's recommendation.
If Arts and Sciences students are
freed from this foolish requirement
it will be the first major step toward
ridding all students' schedules of
such needless courses.

Cuba Faces Many Troubles

By WILLIAM L. RYAN
Associated Press News Analyst
There is evidence that Fidel
Castro deliberately sought to make
the United States break relations with
Cuba, and that his provocations in
this respect grew out of fear and
desperation.
The Castro revolution is in trouble.
It is doubtful whether the Communist
bloc possesses the means and the
ability to keep the Cuban regime
above water.
Castro seems to fear that other
Latin American governments, no longer able to abide interference in their
affairs, are themselves about to call
it quits with him. Castro and his Communist advisers want to be able to
say that the United States has forced
those governments to break relations,
that this proves U.S. "imperialist"
maneuvers and bad intentions toward
Cuba. He wants to use the forthcoming breaks in relations as pegs for
new agitation against existing governments elsewhere in the Western
Hemisphere.
This is not just speculation. The
Fidelistas have learned from the Communists the technique of accusing an
enemy of what one plans oneself. A
few weeks ago the Castro newspaper
Revolution told its readers that the
United States was planning a new offensive against Cuba and was "putting pressure on puppet governments
of the continent to put it into effect."
It added:
"The four points of this plan are

as follows: a collective break of diplo-

matic relations with Cuba; an economic embargo; establishment of an
police force; and the
creation of a committee to study the
political situation in Latin American
nations."
The Communist bloc is anxious
for additional excuses to stir up popular unrest against existing Latin
American governments and is intent
upon using Cuba to full advantage
while the opportunity still exists to
do so. Castro has become the creature
of the Communist bloc because he
has made his revolutionary government almost totally dependent upon
Red nations for economic support. He
is now theirs to command.
Rut Castro has many troubles, including rising labor discontent, the
beginnings of organized resistence,
and the flight of educated people
from Cuba. The break in U.S. relations, however, will slow this flight.
Two years of economic chaos,
coupled with the progressive strangulation of freedoms, are beginning to
catch up with Castro. He retains his
position at the top, but he is the only
cement in a shaky structure. Should
Castro go, not even the Soviet Union
with all its might can save the Communists in Cuba and the retinue they
have been able to use to such advantage.
The troubles will mount steadily.
Ry early spring, there may well be
some explosive developments in

THE READERS' FORUM
ISVcd Physical Education
To The Editor:
I notice with distress in Thursday's edition of the Kernel that the
Arts ami Sciences Division of Literature, Philosophy, and the Arts his
recommended the abolishment of the
present
physical education requirement. It is amazing to me,
at a time when the physical well being of the average citizen in this
country is at its lowest ebb, tl at the
division has even considered such a
proposal; however, as the recommendation has been made and will be
considered by the College of Arts and
Sciences Faculty, I would like to call
to their attention a recent article written by President-elec- t
John F. Kennedy, and appearing in the Dec. 26
issue of Sports Illustrated.
The piece is entitled "The Soft
American," and is a disheartening account of the rapid decline of the
physical well being of our citizens.
