The Air Force ROTC Cadet
Police and sponsor corps will make
the trip to Washington to participate in the inaugural parade Friday. But the cadets must finance
their own trip.
Approximately 70 cadets and 21
sponsors will leave this afternoon,
Col. R. W. Boughton, head of the
Aerospace Science Department,
said yesterday.
has raised
The department
$1,645 of the $2,300 needed to
make the trip. Members of the
Cadet Police have agreed to pay
their own way in order to march
in the parade for the inauguration
of President-elec- t
John F. Kennedy, Capt. Dale Rook, a depart
ment instructor, said.
He said that it would cost each
man approximately $14 for the trip
and lodging. Everyone will have to
for their own meals.
Wednesday, the Aerospace Sci- ence Department
appealed to
ROTC cadets for donations to
the trip. They were asked
to permit instructors to draw the
money from the $10 deposit each
ROTC cadet must make at the be- ginning of the year or to make
contributions.
The action was taken after an

attempt to raise $5,000 from local
businessmen had netted just S5t0.
Another attempt to raise money
a proposal in Student Congress
to grant $100 to help pay the expenses for the trip was defeated
Monday night.
In announcing yesterday that
the cadets would make the trip.
col. Boughton said that they were
fortunate In being able to stay at
Ft. Meyers Air Force Base only
half miles from the
center of Washington.
"Every hotel, motel, and house
from Washington to Baltimore will
be filled," he said.
The group will leave Lexington at 2:30 p.m. today and will
return Saturday afternoon.
After the parade the cadets and
sponsors will visit Quantico Ma-prine Base. Va., for dinner and
dancing. They will go sight-seein- g
Saturday before they leave for
Lexington at 3:30 Saturday after-finan- ce
noon.
The colonel said he thought the
cadets should march in the parade
even though the University Is
already represented by the March-cas- h
ing 100, which left for Washington
yesterday.

Students' going to Florida be- tween semesters will probably bring
back shells collected along the
shore.
The students' collections will
certainly look puny compared to
those displayed in the Zoology
Museum in the Funkhouser Build- ing.
And probably no single shell will
compare to the museum's
clam shell. Not all of the
shells which come from around
the world, are of such proportion.
Many are small and delicate.
Another display in the museum,
located in the basement of the
building, Includes a
wildcat, an unusual freak of
nature. Various animal skeletons
which can be seen are those of an
antelope, gorilla, hyena, and a
horse, Hanover, an outstanding
race horse of his time.
A feature of the museum Is a
stuffed bird case with every kind
of bird from a peacock to a crow
on display.
For the sportsmen there is a

collection of deep sea fishes caught
off the Florida coast including a
shark, dolphin, barracuda, and
sail fish.
Displays depicting the evolution
of various parts of animals' bodies
show how the animals adapted
themselves to changes. The study
0f the evolution of the horse is

* Passing The ROTC Hat

With the many necessary college
expenses such as tuition, room, and
board come the marginal and sometimes questionable costs of texts (resocial
quired and supplementary),
life, clothing, and for those unfortunate enough to be enrolled in Air
Force ROTC "voluntary contributions."
From within the ranks of the local
AFROTC detachment come some
commercial schemes more suited to
the office of a late 19th century industrial robber baron than to an
academic department of a state university and a branch of the United
States armed forces.
In the past, AFROTC cadets have
found themselves asked to "voluntarily" contribute to a fund to provide Christmas baskets for under"volunLexingtonians,
privileged
tarily" purchase Military Ball tickets,
and buy life insurance from a local
Air Force Reserve member.
It is difficult to conceive of the
average freshman cadet failing to
"volunteer" some amount of money
at least once during the several trips
through the ranks made by the
Christmas collection team (which
formerly was also an inspection team,
dealing out demerits on other trips).
The Military Ball incident of two
years ago found cadets having demerits "fixed" if they bought ball
tickets or produced proof that they
had bought tickets.
For years an Air Force Reserve
lieutenant colonel who sells insurbefore AFROTC
ance appeared
uniform and,
classes in a moth-eateunder the guise of helping plan the
futures of prospective Air Force officers,, extolled the virtues of his in
n

surance to his captive audiences.
Now the AFROTC has come up
w ith its slickest scheme yet. By merely
signing a form conveniently provided
by their instructors, cadets may authorize the AFROTC to take as much
of their $10 military deposit fees as
is needed to raise $5,(XX) to send the
cadet sponsors to the inaugural
parade.
Cautious cadets who choose to
make cash contributions are asked to
sign their names that they might renotes." With final
ceive "thank-yoexamination time at hand, many
cadets no doubt expect their "thank-yo- u
notes" to be in the form of better grades.
This whole scheme smacks of
psychological coercion. The
feelings of most students (and apparently of Lexington merchants who
came up with only several hundred
dollars toward the necessary $5,000)
were summed up in a letter we recently received from a disgruntled

is aware of the Air Force ROTC's
many schemes, we cannot see why it
has not acted to bring them to an
end. If it is not aware of such goings-on- ,
it is its duty to remedy this lack
of knowledge and act quickly and
effectively.
Such questionable practices, typical of more undesirable elements of
our society and reminiscent of political systems contrary to the traditional
American system, have no place in a
university environment.

To The Editor:
Wanda Mahoney is correct in saying she did not know everything concerning Catherine CamplR'll. Speaking as the girls at the University of
Kentucky who knew Cathy lcst, we
would like to set her straight on a
few matters.
First, Cathy did hear from her
family. Iler sister called the night before the incident to wish her a happy
birthday and to say there were presents waiting for her at home.
Second, her friends in the dorm

How To Pick Ablest Students
At Amherst College in Massachu-

setts, the dean of admissions asked
the faculty to give the names of students in their classes who seemed
to them to be "unusually creative
and imaginative," the sort they most
enjoyed teaching. He received, in all,
of the
141 names, roughly
one-fift- h

upperclassmen.
lie then set out to discover what,
if anything, these 141 students had in
common. His purpose was to find
some "common characteristics that
would enable (Amherst) to choose
more of the same in the future."
His analysis revealed that the students had little in common that could
have been detected when they were
admitted to Amherst, except that all
were considered good enough students to be admitted to one of the
nation's finer small colleges.
Most came from the top quarter of
their high school classes, but some
didn't. Most made a good impression
in interviews before admission, but
a few made a poor impression. The
proportion of public school to private
school graduates correspond almost
exactly to the proportion in the student body as a whole.

Selling Heeonl Straight

To The Editor:
In Friday's Kernel, Miss Carolina
Hernandez chooses to criticize the
press for releasing the name of the
girl charged with starting the Jewell
Hall fire. In the course of the letter,
she blithely blames the press for refusal to print the names of those
involved in last year's cheating incidents.
While I will not comment upon
the policy of this year's editor, I know
enough about the circumstances of

last year's cheating cases to point out
the fallacy in her charges.
We did not protect the students
caught cheating; the UK administration did. We asked the dean of men
for the names of the students and
would have printed them; we were
refused. We were told, although we
did not necessarily believe, that it
was the right thing to withhold the
names of those apprehended and
punished.
It was implied in Miss Hernandez'
letter that an effort was mi le to protect the strong and punish the weak.
I'm sure she knows, as an honest girl,
that all cheating is a weakness and
reflec ts moral deficiency. I hope, also,
she feels that the press is not the
grotesque and irresponsible demon
that she pictures. Relieve it or not,
the people who control t lie prcsj
have access to the same ethical standards of our society that she has.
However, I won't criticize Miss
Hernandez for deliberately depicting
the press in this manner; I only say
she did not know the facts.

Tin Film Series
To The Editor:
To you for you kind editoiial
and to the students who have written
appreciative Utters to the Kernel concerning the English Department's
Film Series, let me express gratitude
both for myself and the Film Series
Committee. And in view of the approving comments on the W. C. Fields
festival, let me call attention to the
fact that in our next film "David
Coppcrfit Id" W. C. Fields plays the
part of Mr. Mieawber. Those who
saw the festival last week will be
interested to observe the difference
between Fie lds' art in the shorts and
the more

portrayal.
W. C. Fields, however, is only
one of an excellent cast in a fine
production of the Dickens novel.
Other notable performers include

Edna May Oliver, Lewis Stone, and
