Only Two Parties Still In SC Officers Race
By GARY HAWKSWORTII
Kernel Associate Daily Editor

Two parties remain to vie for offices in tlie election for Student Congress officers on April 21.
Bob Niles, presidential nominee, an- need at Monday's congress meeting
the Student Government party had
J
.olved. This leaves only the tickets of
..ie Student
party, headed by Steve
Beshear, and an unnamed party, headed
by Jim Svara, to contest for the offices
posts.
In his brief address to the congress,
Nile said that his party had decided to
withdraw because of "organizational problems." Niles said, "this was the unanimous
decision of all the Student Government
Party candidates." He explained, "sve have
dissolved and as a group do not endorse
either to the remaining tickets."
Niles said the candidates of his party
remain free to back any candidate they
wish, and then he added, "I personally
am endorsing Steve Beshear and the Student Party."

'A
Vol. LV, No. 103

Niles, who acknowledged his thanks
to all who had helped him in seeking
the nomination, admitted before the meeting that he and others on his tickets were
not experienced enough to maintain offices in the congress.
"We felt that it would be in the best
interests of the congress if we withdrew
from the race," Niles said. After the meeting Niles made it clear that "this was
not a thing between the Greeks. We had
independents on the ticket, and we all
agreed that this was the best thing to do."
Niles said that he didn't think his
would have differed
party's
platform
greatly from the Student Party's stand.
"I am a member of the Student Party,"
Niles offered, "I ran on their ticket last
fall."
Niles said that there was no deal made
but that he and the entire Student Government slate felt it was best to withdraw.
As this was the last congress meeting of the year, the stage was set for
some summary comments. The first of
these were offered by Eddie Whitfield,
Junior in the College of Commerce.

Whitfield requested that the factionalism, that this year's congress has known,
not return.
He also suggested that next year's
congress produce a booklet for freshmen
explaining the function and services provided by the congress. "This is the only
way freshmen are going to get to know
the congress," he said.
The final word was offered by the
's
Congress President Paul Chellcren.
comments served as a review of the
congress' work for the year, and he added
some admonitions and a challenge for
next year's congress.
"I perhaps should have done this Ave
months ago," Chellyren opened his state
of the congress report, "but the shape I
found the congress In was pretty poor."
Chellgren
suggested that congress
members' involvement in state politics
confused and bogged down the actions
of the congress. He explained that
In state politics was one of
the vital points in his party's platform
last semester and offered that it would
be a wise policy to follow in the future.

After reviewing the accomplishments
of the congress and congratulating
hi
fellow officers on a Job well done, Chellgren offered an admonition to the opposition party to play their role well and a
challenge to next year's congress.
Chellgren said an opposition party
"keeps the party in power on Its toes.
The only problem with opposition parties
is they can throw sand in the wheels of
the congress."
Chellgren explained that he thought
that this year's opposition had not done
that, but he added, "the opposition tread
a fine thin line here, and I think it was
tread very effectively in this congress."
Chellgren In his challenge said that
congress needed to become "the voice of
the student body. I'nder Dr. Oswald the
Student congress can go as far is it
wishes."
Chellgren expressed his hopes that
next year's congress would have great accomplishments, and his conviction that
"Student Congress membership will be
even a greater prize next year than it
was this time."

In Tuesday's Elections
By BILL GRANT
Kernel Daily Editor

Student Congress unanimously approved a new constitution and by-laat its meeting Monday night.

The new constitution and by- laws will be presented for ratification at a campuswlde election next Tuesday. Officers for
the coming year will also be on
the ballot.
The discussions on the constitution have been spread over the
entire spring semester and two
congress meetings. After taking
office in November, Congress
Paul Chellgren apPresident
pointed a constitutional revision
committee headed by Richard
Ford.
Ford resigned at the beginning of the spring semester citing
an excessive work load as the
reason. He was replaced as chairman by Steve Beshear. (Beshear
is treasurer of the congress and
Is the Student Party nominee for
the presidency next year.)
The constitution prepared by
Beshear's committee was first

presented to the congress April
7. At that time the congress discussed it through article four.
At Monday's meeting, the congress took up the constitution
at article four and preceeded to
discuss and adopt the proposed

board and six associates, two of
whom must be appointed to two
year terms.
Gilbert Adams moved to require the congress president to
designate one of these members
to be chairman in the second
year of his term, if possible.
Adams offered this as a means
of providing a "check" with the
"terms of the Judiciary outlasting the terms of the executive."
Carl Modecki said that there
would be no one to blame if the
chairman proved a bad choice.

"The president

was deAdams' amendment
feated with only Adams voting
in favor of it.
A second question about the
constitution was raised by Joe
Coughlin who said that the provision of the constitution calling
for the Judicial board to have
"jurisdiction over all student violations which involve University
or
authorities"
placed students in "double Jeopardy."
Coughlin said the opinion that

TRAND

all students represent the University was "fictional" and that
after they had been tried by
civil authorities the University
should have no Jurisdiction over
them.
Modecki disputed Coughlln's
claim that students don't represent the University and said
"the newspapers play it this way
and the townspeople see it this
way."
Ann Combs added that by virtue of being deans, University
officials have Jurisdiction over
student life.
President C'hellgren pointed out
that "someone will have the
jurisdiction over these students.
If it Is not going to be the students, it will be the deans," C'hellgren said. "The University will

The grand thing about this
look Is that those extra pounds
everyone seems to put on during
the winter don't even show. They
are also cool and roomy, so you
won't suffer from the heat so
much. Of course the local merchants are pushing these with a
pashion. They come in the usual madras,
denim, bamdana
print, duck, and sailcloth.

If this
Jtn't enough

style

there are beach

shifts to hide the figure from
the knees up when at poolside
and the shifty bathing suit to
k
hide the figure in a
look while in the pool. Yes, so
far it looks like a shapeless
summer.
There is one weak, the shorts,
burmudas, and slacks are still
around, which may bring a sigh
of relief from the male conten-gen- t.
Of course, these are being
worn with blousey over shirts so
the whole effect is one of concealment.
One thing I noticed at last
weekend's Pushcart Derby was
the
of stretch
large number
pants in attendence. These are a
flattering style except when they
are so tight that they leave
nothing to the imagination and
everyone holds their breath when
you lean over or take a deep
breath.
But all this coverage must
have had some good side effects
since even clothes are going to
new depths in necklines. The
plunge is so deep as to be termed
daring. High rise waists and deep
necklines combine for after dark
sophistication and charm. But a
word to the wise, it is better to
wear a modification of this since
it's a rare male that likes this
kind of thing on HIS girl. It's
fine to look at what someone
eles's wife or date has on but it's
not alright on his gal.
The classroom look will be accented by wrap skirts,
perts and all the looks that were
good in the fall. And the last
big style item is the blast Jacket
which will be, if it isn't already,
everywhere.

Birth Control Plant, Is Traditional:
Africa's Answer To The TiW
JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa (AP) Primitive women of
African tribes in the Lydenburg
area of South Africa are believed
to have helped the world find the'
oral contraceptive pill.
For generations the women of
the district in the north east of
the Transvaal
province have
known the secret properties of a
mountain plant in preventing
pregnancies.
It is thought that this Is the
plant mentioned by the Russian-bor- n
British organic chemist. Dr.,
Valdimir Petrow, when he told
newsmen here that a new oral
contraceptive pill was developed
from a synthetic hormone evolved from a "secret" South African
plant.

Dr. Petrow, an authority on
oral contraception, told newsmen
that the synthetic hormone duplicates the effects of pregnancy.
He said that of all the women
who had used the pills only two
had become pregnant. Ten years
of research and $1,400,000 had
gone into the development of the
pill. D. Petrow said the pill is
"a major milestone in the progress of the human race."
Russian chemists are working
on a pill to be taken once a
month instead of 20 times at
present.
A pill for men was being considered, Dr. Petrow said but "this
might not be the ideal answer
because it is the women who do
the worrying not the men."

Spring Styles Conceal
But They Also Reveal
It's spring! If there is any
doubt In your mind Just lock at
all the patch madras and faded
denium that is popping up all
ever campus this week.
With
the coming of warm
weather, the races, and LKD
there are always new styles in
coed apparel. This season will
be no exception in the new shape
and look department. It used to
be that the men waited all winter to see their lady love's charming figure outlined in bathing
suits, shorts, and the like. Seems
that the layers of winter wool
don't give the same illusion of
fchape that summer togs do. Of
course, this seasonal unveiling
always carried the element of
surprise for some.
This will not be the case this
Bummer, lnfact it will be a sheer
stroke of luck If. the male types
even get a hint of the figure of a
passing coed. The smock look Is
the big thing. You think that
winter clothes cover, well the
altoones submerge
summer
gether. The smock is something
akin to a tent, in fact it's so
concealing that you wonder if a
girl Is hidden with In.

What is the "right" thing to do or say;
who are the "right" people?
Many students probably ask themselves these questions over and over

Alumni

Weekend?
'

"The Little Kentucky Derby-t- he
greatest college weekend in the
United States."
This claim has been used as publicity for LKD for many years, but
this year the statement could better
read: "LKD, the greatest alumni
weekend in the United States."
When the tickets for the Peter,
rani, and Mary concert went on sale,
the students went to the three locations at which tickets were sold and
!tood in line. As they approached the
ticket salesman to make their purchases, they were told no seats on the
main floor were available. After inquiring further, students discovered
all seats on the main floor had been
presold by mail to townsmen, alumni,
and faculty.
If the weekend is designed for the
twofold purpose of raising money for
stuscholarships and entertaining
dents, it is falling short of the latter
purpose this year.
There seems to be no reasonable
excuse why the students were not oftickets. It seems,
fered the mail-ordsince the weekend is centered around
the students, they should be allowed
to have an equal opportunity to purchase the best seats at the concert.
The students provide the majority
of the entertainment for the weekend,
and the one night that they could relax they must accept inferior seatsl

during their college careers. Some forget, however, that what is right for
others may not be right for them.
Everybody can't have the same
friends. There would be too many
personality clashes. Everybody can't
be in the same groups. There are
just too many people.
The places to which a person goes
should be the places where he can
enjoy himself and not just to be seen.
The same is true of doing the right
thing. Everybody doesn't "love" to
dance. This doesn't mean that one
must always do as he likes and have
his own way. What it does mean is
that one shouldn't try to impress
others by doing what the others consider the thing to do.
These students feel they simply
must get "in." This getting "in" is a
Unforway of finding
tunately, they don't realize that they
are merely becoming identified as
h
members of
or a friend
instead of Mary Johnson
of
or Joe Smith. They are getting into
a rut they may find themselves in for
the rest of their lives.
These students should develop and
preserve their individuality. They
should avoid becoming small pebbles
in a giant rock pile.

constitution except at the request
of the Southern Rhodesia government. But the Queen, as a constitutional monarch, can only act on the
advice of her ministers. In any event,
as Prime Minister Winston Field put
it, Southern Rhodesia is claiming that
"our allegiance is to the Crown and
not to any particular British government."
These ingenious machinations cannot hide the fact that a white minority rules Southern Rhodesia and intends to stay in command. The South
African whites have been able to do
this at a high cost, but the other African countries are determined to
block the white minority in Southern
Rhodesia and, thus far, so are the
British. The question is whether the
Rhodesian government can keep on
exercising more and more oppressive
powers without an explosive reaction
inside and outside its domain.

Responsible Journalism

To The Editor:
Those loyal souls who criticized
Ken Blessinger's NCAA forecasts are
an insult to the intelligence of any
rational person. They sounded curiously like another individual who is
doing his best to "manage" news
"I
concerning the University.
think the writer should ask himself,
'will this help or hurt the university?' and he should be guided by
that."
Blessinger undoubtedly hoped UK
would win the tournament (indeed,
he stated in that very column that he
hoped he would be proven wrong.)
But, as a responsible journalist must,
he wrote what he firmly believed.
Pipe dreams, which I'm afraid UK
title hopes were, have no place in objective journalism. Would Kernel
have given the Cats
the NCAA championship? The Chauvinists surely implied it.
They said that since Kentucky
was rated N'o. 1 in the nation three
months bfeore the tournament, Blessinger should have picked them. Now
there is a brilliant piece of logic-le- t's
just forget about the rest of the
season entirely, shall we? They speak
of hard luck is that what caused
UK to lose four of its last five games?
Or, as Blessinger wrote after the tournament, were they simply vastly overrated?
One is saddened to realize that
people of such naive and childish immaturity will soon be released to the
world
as college graduates.

Rhodesian Violence
The lonely situation of Southern
rdiodesia in Africa is getting lonelier
as the weeks and months pass and
the riddle of when and how to achieve
independence moves no nearer to a
solution. The latest news from the
country is of so much violence, mainly involving the black Africans, that
the government has acquired drastic
new security powers.
nhodesians are trying to break the
constitutional deadlock. The white
elite, numbering 250,000, have long
luld power over the 3,700,000 Africans. They want to keep that power
silter independence. The British government refuses to grant independence unless the Southern lihodesia
government agrees to revise the Constitution to permit lar
