Praised At Elizabethtown
Praise was given to the University Community College system for its contributions to the
future at the Centennial Convocation Monday morning at the
Elizabethtown Community College.
Dr. Shailer L. Bass, president
of the Dow Corning Corporation,
said ". . . this Convocation is not
so much a commemoration of
the past century of the University of Kentucky as it is a celebration of the wonderful accomplishments that are ahead. . . not

Sororities'
Top Scholars
Are Honored

The University's fourteen sororities held their annual scholarship dessert Monday night in
order to recongize the sororities
and their individual members for
high scholastic achievement.
Certificates for maintaining
a 3.S or better scholastic average
for the Spring semester of 1965
went to 68 sorority women.

The sorority attaining the

highest overall average was
Alpha Camma Delta with a 2.08.
The next four sororities were
Kappa Kappa Camma (2.979),
Kappa Alpha Theta (2.978), Chi
Omega (2.9), and Kappa Delta
(2.8).
A new award for the full pledge

"Elizabethtown College and
other Community Colleges," said
Dr. Bass, "spread opportunities
equitably because many thousands more young people and
adults do in fact continue their
studies when they can live at
home and when a college is near
where they live and work."

Speaking briefly at the convocation. President Oswald asserted that the University should
point with "great admiration to
the achievements of the Elizabethtown Community College in
its first year of service."
Elizabethtown is one of nine
Community Colleges under the
direction of the University. It
began its first year of sophomore
classes this year.
There are 560 students enrolled at the college, an increase
of 52.1 per cent over last y ear's

University Owns, Rents 100 Houses
By RON HEBRON

Kernel Staff Writer
More than 100
houses, all headed for destruction,
are being rented out by the University, which has bought 11 of
these since January, 1965.
"We'd like to buy faster," George Kavanaugh, Director of the
Real Property division of Business Affairs, said last week. "The
whole purpose is to buy property on a priority basis for campus

expansion."

The priority area right now is on Clifton and Columbia Avenues,
where the campus is to expand first. Bids were received this week
for the destruction of eight houses, two of them in the priority
area.
Most houses bought are piivate homes. But 101 apartments
and rooms are rented, mostly by students. UK leases two houses
to tenants who in turn rent rooms to students. Rent for other
places is paid directly to the University.
W here the original ow ner is not present, a
supervisor is sometimes
hired to act as soit of a counselor. Most of his duties are maintenance reports, however.
One house on Clifton Avenue is leased for $125 a month to the
landlady, who in tutu rents rooms to live or six students, foi
$25-3a month each. UK MaintcnauceandOpcrationsis responsible
for keeping all the houses in repair.
0

One of the more unusual arrangements is at "Caney Cottage",
on Clifton Avenue. This house is owned by UK, but is leased
to Alice Lloyd Junior College. Several students from that school
stay there with expenses paid by Alice Lloyd scholarships. The
owner of a nearby house serves as their housemother.
A University-owne- d
building at 641 S. Limestone is rented to
foreign students, and is managed by the Office of the Dean of Men.
Eventually, all these houses will be destroyed. The educational
function has priority over the housing function. The Gladstone
Apartments, w est of campus, w ere recently taken over by the College
of Nursing. The old ZBT fraternity house, on Rose Lane, was
displaced for "educational purioses."
Some of the cleared property is to be used for building new
housing. Dormitory housing is scheduled some day for Columbia
Avenue, in the priority area.
Director Kavanaugh said there would be "less need'' for
housing when the new dorm complex is completed. But
he emphasized that the grow th of the student Ixxly in the meantime
could not really Ik predicted.
lie described the condition of most houses as "average." All
houses clucked wen more or less typical of privately-ownehousing. The eight houses to be destroyed soon weren't
up to Maintenance and Operations standards.

"This means some students
won't receive their mail until a

The new policy has meant an

enlarged from 11 to 17
people with two men who do
nothing but sort mail.

A new policy for campus ruail

University post office.

Adrain Bradshaw, superintendent of mail service for UK, said
Tuesday.

is still being delivered once a

He said this means two

made instead of one. Delivery
times are 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
All that formerly came out of the
campus post office was mail for

Sigma Chi Derby Saturday afternoon. To the theme "ADPi Loves

only won the Derby itself, but also
was awarded the spirit award, Riven for the first time this year
for enthusiasm and unique cheers.
Marsha Jackson, representing Kappa Alpha Theta, was crowned
1965 Sigma Chi Derby Queen by last year's queen, ram Ellis.
and Sally

Sherman, Kappa Delta, was second runner-up- .
Zcta Tau Alpha and Alpha Gamma Delta tied for first place,
having both accumulated the same number of derbies. Gamma
Fhi Beta placed third, and Delta Delta Delta fourth.
When the winners of the poster contest were announced, the
ADPi's, early running true to their word, had the winning display.
"KD-Di- d
It Again" earned second honors for the KD's, and the
Pi Phi's "Don't Be Caught Draggin" dragon placed third.
The first event of the Derby was the Balloon Toss. And it was
event of the day because the
probably the most
balloons would not break. Slip and slide they would indeed, but
break? Not on your life. After a few broken balloons (and more
dropped ones), Kappa Delta "won the toss" by sheer ability to
hang on to the thingl Delta Zeta, placing second, must have
known the secret, also.
The Egg Toss was its usual hilarious "splatter the Sigma Chi
pledge" event . . . and let me tell you, eggs are hard!

Comparative Witicisms
Apparently the University is not
the only college in the nation
blessed with an especially witty
and fun-lo- v ing crop of student lawyers.
We submit as evidence of our
point a recent classified advertisement from the Michigan Daily of

the University of Michigan:

COEDS:
The Kernel (sic) at longlastmay

be right. The heart of the University of Kentucky has been moved
to the outer edge of campus.
The law students are hapjjy
with their new building, but the
merriment is gone unless you, the
coeds of the student body, would
make it a point to go out of your
way once in a while and visit our
marble palace. The second and
third year classes would enjoy
sceingyou again, and the first year
class would appreciate the welcoming gesture.
We know you will miss us as
much as we miss you.
Men of the Play Pen
It is encouraging to realize that
the wit of our law students ranks
right along with that of such a
reknown school as Michigan.

They Will Continue
We are delighted to learn that
the vice president's student conferences will be scheduled several
times a semester again this year.
This open, off the record session
in which students meet with administrator Robert L. Johnson, vice

president for student affairs, has
done much in the past to build
strong interpersonal relationships
between students and administrators and to give the students, the
opportunity to have influence in
University affairs.

g

.

:

:

Br.;-..;-

Dr. Oswald will be joining Mr.
Johnson in the first session at 3
p.m. Wednesday in the President's
room (Room 214) of the Student
Center.
We urge all students, especially
those who never before have attended a student conference, to
drop in on this one. If the vital
link between administrators and
students is to prosper, the students
must do their part, too.

The Youth Tune
We are told that, for better or
d
ours is a

worse,1

youth-oriente-

culture. Evidence as to the growing
influence of the younger set has
been steadily accumulating. In
view of recent items in the news,
we can no longer have the slightest
doubt:
The rock and roll tempo of
s
has brought about
the
a minor revolution in the world of
fashions. By enlivening the usually
staid fashion show, it has managed
to do what nothing else has accomplished. Fashion models in a
frenzied dance testify to the seemingly endless influence of the
Beatles.
The lively rhythms of youth
have apparently established another first for Madison Avenue. A
shoe retailer is selling records which
do no more than advertise a line
of shoes for boys and another for
girls. Teenagers hearing the Mersey-soun- d
commercials on the radio
sent in so many requests for the
teen-ager-

jingles thai the ccmpany decided
to sell the discs directly through
its retail outlets.
Even the Office of Economic
Opportunity (OEO) in Washington,
ear to the ground, decided if it
wanted to enlist youth in the fight
against poverty it had better reach
the teen-agein their own
language. It produced a television
spectacular, titled, "It's What's
Happening, Baby." The rock and
roll show had the month's third
highest TV rating. With some 10,000
responses in hand, the OEO is
preparing a second production.
Startled adults will doubtless
find their voices drowned amid
the ecstatic cries and the Liverteenpool beat of the present-da- y
world. Youth is calling the
age
tune, and cash registers are keeping
pace with the bobbing heads and
stamping feet. Advertisers, not
missing a beat, are reporting all

Of Kopeks And Frustrations
In the United States the interests
of vending-machin- e

considered in designing coins of
new alloys. Everybody heaved a
sigh of relief when informed that
the new coins would work in the
old machines. Well, almost everybody.
Now comes word that the newspaper Izvestia does not believe the
Soviet Union need give priority to
catching up with the United States
in the vending-machin- e
race. For
one thing, it points out, Soviet
machines are often used in such'a
way as to be an inconvenience
rather than a convenience to the
customer. And eau de Cologne
machines, for example, lose 61
rubles a year, which is less than is

lost by those that dispense notebooks. Also, many machines plain
don't work.

In the United States we have
the impression that if a vending
machine fails to make money it is
removed. On the other hand it
sometimes seems that only the
customer is bothered when a
machine doesn't work.
Russians might take heart for
the future from the fact that American vending
machines have
steadily improved. Sometimes we
wish we had a kopek for every
time a machine has taken our money
and not given us our peanuts. But
it hasn't happened lately.

Signs Of Life
It is encouraging for permanent
residents of the Kernel offices to
be able to look out the east windows and see signs of life in Pence
and Kastle Halls.
After staring for two years at
vacant rooms and unused steps,
we are glad to see streams of
students flowing up and down the
steps between classes.
Maybe the two renovated build

ings are not the most elegant on
campus, but they must look awfully
comfortable to the School of Architecture and the Department of
Political Science which heretofore
have been housed in a barn and a
barrack, respectively.
It pleases our sense of practicality to see these buildings back
in use after two crowded years of
vacancy.

Tighter Deferment Policy
For Students In College
By WILLIAM CHANT
Collegiate Tress Service
WASHINCTON-Wi- th
the October and November draft calls the largest since the Korean
War, the nation's draft boards are set to look at
deferments with a more disrequests for student
ec.
cerning Selective
service System has no intention
ine
of abandoning deferments for students in colleges
and universities but, under the tighter policy,
draft loards will lc picking up some deferred
students who are not attending school full time
or who are not making satisfactory progress in
their classes.
Last January the total nationwide draft call
was only 5,400 men. In February, it dropped to
3,000. The Vietnam crises shot the draft call to
7,900 in March; 13,700 in April; 15,100 in May;
17,000 in June; 17,100 in July; and 16,500 in
August.
Then, on July 28 President Lyndon Johnson
announced that a September call of 27,000 men
would be necessary in order to meet the increased
commitment in Vietnam.
Even at that time most state Selective Service
men were quoted as saying they didn't feel the
new figures would cause any change in the draft
status of most men because "draft pools" were
large enough to take care of the increased demands. In most states, draft officials were quoted,
some off the record, as saying that married men
with no other dependants still need not fear for
the draft. Under a 1963 order by President Kennedy, married men with no children were not to be
drafted as long as single men were available.
But the Defense Department announced an
October call of 33,600 and re.r,tly announced
its November call of 36,450 the two largest calls
since the end of the Korean War. And in November, for the first time since Korea, the draft will
include men for the Marine Corps.
Some states began to backtrack on their previous statements about married men and many
conceded that it would be necessary to take
married men "sometime in the fall."
On August 26, President Johnson dropped his
bombshell and announced he
had revoked President Kennedy's order and that
from now on married men without children would
be considered the same as single men as far as
the draft is concerned.
Trying to beat the order's midnight deadline,
young couples sought out marriage spots like
it and got married
Las Vegas, Nev. Some made
before midnife Lewis B.
Hershey, national
director of the Selective Service System, observed,
"1 believe these couples will find they didn't
beat any deadline. We'll get most of them in
four or five months."
The facts remain that with the increased draft
calls, local boards are rapidly running out of
single men between the ages of 19 and 26 the
present induction limits and the childless married men are the next to go.
The same sort of concern has been registered

"Inside Report"

among college students who fear that continued
high draft calls will further deplete the draft
pools and they, after the married men, they'll
be the next to go.
To a degree, they're right.
As one Selective Service official points out,
"There is nothing automatic about a student
being deferred. Each case is considered on its own
merits with the student's course of study, its
importance to the national interest, and the student's scholastic ability" being used as measuring sticks.
The same high official suggested that as the
(or even if they stay at the present
high level for some extended period of time) and
the age of the draftee drops, boards probably will
not be able to give deferments for longer than a
year.
"This would cover a man in his senior year
or probably could be extended in order to let a
junior finish school, but it probably would not
let the 19 or 20 year-olsophomore finish college
before being called for military duty," he said.
He said any student who received an order for
induction while in school might be given a
classification that would allow him to finish that
school year before reporting for duty.
The first thing likely to happen is that probationary or borderline students will lose their deferments as they did during the Korean War. This
means draft boards could require a student to
meet certain academic levels in order to retain
his deferment.
The graduate students chances of completing
his studies before service vary . The state director
of Selective Service for Maryland said in a recent
interview that graduate deferments were considered by local boards but that deferments were
given after asking if the student's study were
serving the national interest, health, or safety.
The Maryland director, Brig. Cen. Henry C.
Stanwood, said he felt the requirement could be
interpreted to mean that science, math, and medical students were favored.
Just as there will be a tightening of student
deferments, medical deferments will also be harder
to come by.
If a man is called to take his physical, the
chances are still better than even that he will be
turned down. A report from the Army Surgeon
Ceneral's office indicated that during 1964 only
47 per cent of the 847,511 draftees were accepted.
Of the 53 per cent that failed to qualify, 22.2
per cent were for medical reasons; 16.2 per cent
for mental reasons; 11.4 per cent had "limited
training ability;" 1.5 per cent had both medical
and mental reasons for being rejected; and 1.7
per cent were found to be "morally unfit."
"The criteria for medically determining 'combat fitness' have obviously changed with the
changing techniques of warfare," the report said.
In some ways, the present standards are more
liberal than during World War II.
Still, medical deferments are going to be harder
to get in the coining months.
