By MOLLY MrCORMICK
Assistant Managing Editor

Operators of the two book
stores serving the University
campus are resigned to the
lart that cah day they will
casli several cold checks lor
'cut customers.
E. Morris of the
located In the
.ent Center commented that
during a typical day last week
his store cashed eight bad checks
totaling $85. Similarly, Joe Kennedy, head of Kennedy's Bookstore, noted that his business
cashed from five to seven cold
checks for students daily.
Setting straight each cold check
that comes into their hands Involves a good deal of work and
added expense for the book

Oies

stores. Kennedy's keeps a revolving fund of approximately tl,100
in bad checks from month to
month.
The businesses themselves are
responsible for service charges to
banks for bad checks and have to
count as their loss the time and
labor required to untangle each
individual case.
To help cover some of the
added expense brought upon the
business by the cold check problem, last fall University Bookstore Initiated a policy of requiring a 40 cents purchase from
each customer who cashed a
check. Mr Morris said that this
practice was done awny with
during the second semester
of student objections. Both
stores now cash checks free of
charge.
A large number of UK stu

would take less chances in having their checks bounce.
Mr. Kennedy stated that more
cold checks are passed near the
end of the school term than at
any other time "mostly because
students are running short of
money." Mr. Morris said that he
hadn't noticed any increase and
that "things are no worse than
usual."
During the past year, Student
Congress President Paul Chcll-grr- n
has made a study of the
cold check situation on campus
and has made some suggestions
for solving the problem.
Chellgren said that UK could
adopt a plan such as is used at
Georgia Tech where a specific
student check cashing service has
been established. Through a cooperative set up, every student

dents find the bookstores to be
the most convenient places to
checks. The University
cash
Bookstore, according to Mr. Morcashes more checks than a
ris,
local branch
bank near the
campus.
Discussing the necessity for
students to have a place where
they can conveniently
cash
rherks, Mr. Kennedy commented,
"The students just need to remember that this is a service that
we're providing for them and not
take advantage of It."
Mr. Morris suggested that students should keep a closer watch
on their bank balances when
writing checks and prevent overdrawing from their accounts. He
said that by using their own personal checkbooks instead of counter checks, students could keep
track of their funds and thus

at that school pays a certain
amount of money to the service.
From this fund, money is then
taken to make good cold checks
written by students. Administrative action Is taken against offenders.
Another possibility, according
to Chellgrrn, is that a local bank
might open a branch on campus
to handle student accounts and
all the cashing of checks that i
required.
To date, however, no definite
action has been taken towards
solving the check cashing problem. It looks as thou;h the bookstores will have to continue to
suffer with the cold check headache.
"After all." said Mr. Morris, "it's
Just part of this business we're
in."

ororities Cut rail Rush lime
o One Week, Aug. 29 -- Sept. 6

x

By GAY GISII
Krrncl Staff Writer

If anyone thought soioiity
lush was hectic last fall, she
had better he prepared lor an
even mote frantic time this
year.
The Panhellenic Council has
decided that too much time was
spent during the last formal rush.
Therefore, the time allotted for
soiority rush this year has been
cut to one week, from Saturday,
Aug. 29, until Sunday, Sept. 6,
when third Invitations will be
given out by the sororities and
Preference Night parties held.
This schedule calls for a little
extra planning on the part of
both the administration and the
sororities. Eince sorority women
generally return to echool a weefc
before rush begins, this is going
to cut some summer vacations
short.
Rushees, too, will have to be on
the campus early. They will
arrive at school three days before
women not participating in formal rush.
The rushees will arrive on Friday, Aug. 28. That evening they
will be treated to a Panhellenic
Party, .sponsored by all the sororities.
This party has been planned to
take the place of the traditional
Pledge Presentation. Its purpose
is to better acquaint the new
rushees with Greek life by introducing them to a few members of each sorority and entertaining them with a skit and refreshments.
The next day, Saturday, the
"race" begins. In the past, four
open houses a day, have been
held on three consecutive afternoons. This year there will be six
j?ries on Saturday three in the
three in the early
morniii;
evening and six on Sundiy
three in the afternoon and three
at night.
On Monday morning rushees
return their first invitations to
the Student Center.
That night, four First Invita

tional parties will be held. The
remaining four parties are scheduled on Tuesday night. Wednesday is a "free" day for the
rushees. The soiority girls will
be involved in last minute preps.
arations for the second
Second Invitationals are called
"skit parties" by the Greeks. The
rushees will be treated to everything from Polynesian food to
imitation champagne in an effort to convince each girl that
"our soiority Js the one for you."
Invitations for this third serirs
of parties will be issued on Thursday morning, and again they will
be returned to the Student Center. Three parties will be held
on both Thursday and Friday
nights.
Satuiday, Sept. 5, is another
free day, but the tension usually
has begun to rise by this time.
Sunday morning the Preference
Night invitations are distributed.
the
After they are returned,
rushees can look forward to three
ceremonies which present serious
aspects of the Greek system.
At- 9:15
p.m. all the rushees
will go to Memorial Hall to sign
their preference cards. In the
past, this has been done one at
a time by each of the girls in a
private room. This year, however, in order that each rushee
will be given identical instructions, all preference cards will be
signed at the same time. Rushees
will have no dates on this night.
When the cards are signed, the
matching of individual preference
to sorority preference is begun by
the dean of women's staff.
Bid day, is Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Previously, bids were given in the
Fine Arts building; the new system has the bids being passed out
late Tuesday afternoon in the living units.
the
afterwards,
Immediately
rushees will meet their newly
chosen sorority's representatives
in the Student Center and go to
the individual houses for pledging
ceremonies and buffet dinners.
After all the excitement has

died away, the new pledges will
be able to take a calmer look
at the mad week Just completed
and look ahead to the time when
they will finally see the "other
side" to formal rush.

Writing Skills
journals, the Kernel suggests that a
course in effective writing be required
for students in the sciences.
Engineering and commerce students have been provided with a technical composition class, but there is
little offered to students in the sciences, other than freshman composition.
The Kernel proposes that a course,
preferably upper division, be instituted to teach these students how to
write for their colleagues and for a
general audience. This course, which
should be offered by the English Department, could require three different types of writing of the students
during the semester:
A term or research paper with
proper foot notes, designed to teach
students to write for professional journals;
Abstracts on the paper or related subjects, designed to teach students to capitulate their ideas briefly;
A scientific article written for
a general audience, possibly for publication in the Kernel, designed to teach
students to write for laymen.
The class could be set up on a
r
schedule of two
recitation
r
sessions each week and one
writing laboratory each week. It could
olfer a survey of various literatuie in
the sciences. It could include tours of
campus libraries to acquaint students
with available facilities, so that they
could better use them in research.
The Kernel feels that the institution of such a required course would
go far in helping Dr. Oswald realize
his goals.

;
If President Oswald accomplishes
what he has proposed, the University
will graduate scholars, not pupils or
technicians, in the future.
i
e
It is generally agreed that a
scholar is also an artist, a creative
pbrson. And if theories concerning
creativity prove true, the scholars who
graduate from UK should be success-Ju- l
in their chosen fields.
I
One mark of a scholar is his ability
ti convey ideas to colleagues and to
the public. The most effective method
of accomplishing this is to put ideas
into words on paper. If the prospective graduate does not know how to
jlut words on paper effectively, he has
Jailed to qualify fully as a scholar.
And if he does not learn how to make
others understand him in college,
where will he learn?
'
Believing that a university is the
place to acquire skills, the Kernel
makes a proposal.
Since most graduated scholars will
be exchanging ideas in professional

Campus Political Camps
Strangely Silent
The University should be a showcase lor ideas, and college years are
a time set apart for the nuituring of
tieative thought.
Why, then, in this presidential
election )ear have the opposing camps
icmained relatively silent?
To Young Democrats and the
Voting Republicans, the Kernel forwards a suggestion. These two organizations supposedly supported by and
existing for, the poliiiially-niindestudent should invite the two presidential candidates to speak on this
tampus. The speeches could be scheduled shortly alter the beginning of
the fall semester.
Not only would it present the two
candidates' views to the students and
the faculty, it would also provide
the two campus political organizations
with the oppoi tunity to do something
impoi tint and woithwhile.
Such an uiulci taking would be a
welcome innovation lor the Univer

sity and for the Commonwealth of
Kentucky. It might bring about a
change of thinking from complacency
to interest.
In the event that the clubs are
unable to bring the candidates to
campus, perhaps they could sponsor
an open debate between members of
the respective groups Two or three
members from each organization
would be sufficient to carry out such
a program.
Besides presenting the candidates'
stands on specific issues and the platforms, the participants could outline
the backgrounds of their presidential
and vice presidential nominees.
With recent and upcoming primaries currently arousing so much interest and speculation, the University should get on the bandwagon and
sponsor these debates. If nothing else,
it would leinind everybody that this is
a university, a place for ideas.

Letters To The Editor
Chellgren

Criticizes Kernel

In an editorial of April 28 The
Kentucky Kernel stated that they had
received no progress report on the
book store,
proposed student-owneand therefore they assumed that no
progress had been made. Nothing
could be further from the truth. At
the Student Congress meeting of Feb.
22 Robert Stokes was asked to examine the possibility of opening a
'look store. Mr. Stokes gave an excellent report at the next meeting on
Match 10. It was documented and
quite complete. Mr. Gary Hawks-wortKernel Student Congress re;
porter, was present at both of these
mentioned. When I read the Kernel
of March 12, Mr. Stokes report was
inentoined. When I read the Kernel
editorial and realized the error that
had been made, I called Mr. Hawks-wort- h
and asked him if the editorial
writer had discussed the issue with
him or if he had even seen the editorial. He replied that he knew nothing about the content of the editorial
until it appeared in the newspaper
and was sorry the mistake had occurred.
I assume that this was just a simple
mistake rather than an effort to damage the reputation of Student Con-giesAlthough it does seem strange
to nie that an editorial writer would
comment on a Student Congress issue
without talking to his own Student
Congress reporter, who could have
claiified his thinking, or even looking
at the back issues of his own newspaper. However, because I am sure
that just negligence rather than maliciousness was invohed, 1 now consider
the matter dosed.

Paul CaiiK.tUN

The Kernel u knowledges its error
in implying that Student Confess had

The Editors

Deplores Students' Absence

To The Editor:
Hie students of the University,
on April 28, 19C4, reached the
epitome of disgrace in displaying
the irresponsibility and lack of respect, both for themselves and their
university, which they have had for
many years.
Before us was presented a man
of the highest standing, character and
ambition President John Oswald
and we were not there to accept the
challenge which he put before us. No
more than a handful of students from
a student
body of approximately
10,000 were present at Dr. Oswald's
and of this number
inauguration,
had specific duties.
more than one-hal- f
Distinguished men such as University of California President Clark
Kerr, Governors Breathitt, Chandler
and Johnson, Dr. Frank G. Dickey,
Dr. Herman L. Donovan, and many
more were honored to attend this ceremony, and yet, we, the students of
this institution of intellectual challenge were unable to devote three
hours to pay due respect to a man
who has and will devote many houis
to establishing, achieving, and securing for us the goals and values which
we say we hold dear.
Upon hearing the words of the
Student Congress president as he told
of the fondness, respect, and esteem
which we, the students, hold lor our
President, one could bow his head
in shame, for the wouls were made
hollow by the evidence of our absence.
Truly, the student body of the University owes its deepest apology to
Piesident John W. Oswald.
