Official figures on the number of freshmen on probation have
not been released. Dr. Kenneth Harper. Interfraternlty Council
estimated that approximately 50 percent of the freshmen did
not make a 2.0 standing.
A (secretary in the Registrar's office said probation statistics may
be rendy by the first of next week.
Bill Sprague, IFC rush chairman, said the freshman grade situation wan a "big disappointment." He added that IFC would evaluate
the rushing system when rush ends next Tuesday.
Sprague raid about 150 men were initiated by the fraternities last
fall under the old rush system. He stated he was anxious to see how
many men are pledged under this new system since all pledges
can be initiated this spring.
If the number pledged exceeds the number initiated last fall
Sprague said he would consider the system successful.
An example of the hardship that many fraternities have been
placed under with the freshmen on probation is Alpha Gamma Rho.
Leroy McMullan, chapter president, reported that 65 percent of the
men they rushed last semester did not make their grades.
McMullan said the chapter was "rather disappointed," but will
just have to work harder. He said he favored a true deferred system
where there would be no rushing the first semester.
Under his plan rush would open the first of the spring semester
and continue for 30 days. After one month freshmen may then be
pledged. One advantage of this, McMullan pointed out, is that it
would be cheaper on the fraternities.
Phi SiRma Kappa rush chairman, Tom Berry, estimated that 50
percent of the men they were rushing failed to make the grade
requirement.
He said they were doing better than anticipated when they first
got the trades of the rushees. Berry said deferred rush was harder
financially and labor wise on the fraternities, but they did not have
to worry bout pledges' grades counting against the fraternity average.
Bailey Hale, a member of Sigma Nu, said that more than 50 percent of the men thry rushed did not make a 2.0 standing. He added
that his fraternity was "doing all right," but was having to work harder.
Philip Claudy, president of Triangle, said about 50 percent of
the freshmen in the College of Engineering did not make their grades.
He added, however, that his fraternity Is not having too much trouble
and generally were having good luck in rushing.
Bill Fortune, Phi Gamma Delta president, said about 30 to 40
percent of the men they were rushing failed to make a 2.0 standing.
he was not satisfied with the number of men his fraFortune
ternity had pledged thus far.

Kennedy seeks Medical I rogram

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 (AP President Kennedy
today pressed fir enactment of a "freedom of
rlinlr?" moLTflm under which 14.2 million older men
and women would receive hospital, nursing and other
medicai care paid for by bigger social security taxes.
Sending his medical care for the aged pro- gram to Congress, Kennedy sought to neutralize one
major opposing argument by declaring "This
is not a program of socialized medicine."
"It is a program of prepayment of health costs
with absolute freedom of choice gauranteed," the
President said in a special message. "Every person
will choc.se his own doctor and hospital."

on a Russian passenger plune carrying Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev across the Mediterranean for
an African visit.
Brezhnev, 54, was not Injured. He arrived on
schedule in Rabat, capital of Morocco.
(Rabat dispatches quoted M. Popov, a Soviet
foreign ministry press officer, as saying there was
no apparent damage to the plane and no one in
the party mentioned the attack. French spokesmen
in Paris and Algiers said they had no knowledge of
the incident.)
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said
Brezhnev's plane was about 80 miles north of Algiers
over international waters of the Mediterranean when
a twin-Jfighter flew "dangerously close" three
times.

Fraternity presidents and rush chairmen yesterday expressed varied opinions on the success achieved under the

A survey of nine fraternities revealed that pledging is

The people of the United States
have been told so many times alnnit
the state of their military defense that
they don't know what to believe.
They have been told that this is
the world's greatest power, that it
is a second-ratnation, and a lot of
stuff in between.
"Missile gap" is a phrase which
had almost come to be accepted as
an established fact. President Eisenhower always said it wasn't exactly
true, despite the Soviet Union's lead
in rocket motors. Candidate Kennedy
and President Kennedy stuck to the
gloomier side.
But now the Pentagon is more
inclined to agree with Eisenhower.
Kennedy's own Pentagon team says
there's no gap now.
There has been a
indication, based primarily on tin;
number and variety of space shots,
that the United States has a fundamentally broader program, embracing a greater number of space capabilities, which lays a lxtter foundation for precision production.
The recent successful testing of a
solid fuel missile was an important
step forward for the United States
in the purely military uses of rockets.

Voluntary ROTC Works

Foe several years the Kernel has
belabored the compulsory Reserve
Officers Training Corps program at
the University. Why do we do this,
many have asked us. What business
is it of ours, they want to know.
Our reply is a simple one forced
service in military units, except during emergencies, is contrary to the
principles of individual liberty which
are the cornerstones of the democratic
foundation of the United States.
Moreover, the University's responsibility is to educate Kentuckians, not
to turn out masses of soldiers for
the federal government.
In recent years, compulsory
ROTC has been abolished at several
colleges and universities, including
several land grant schools, and has
been replaced by voluntary programs.
The armed services, especially the
Army, oppose this move because they
say that compulsory basic ROTC is
necessary to assure an adequate supply of reserve officers. Many school
administrations are also giving this
reason for their unwillingness to make
basic ROTC voluntary. Such reasoning is due mainly to the propaganda
efforts of the Army, which says it
has a far greater need of ROTC
graduates than do the other services.
For example, former Army Secretary Brucker has said the Army
cannot get the 14,000 officers it needs
by 1965 unless compulsory ROTC is
kept an integral part of college
His statement is contradicted,
however, by one made not long ago
by Charles Finucane, then assistant
secretary of defense.
Finucane said that with the expected doubling of college enrollments during the next decade, continuation of compulsory basic ROTC
would lead to an Army enrollment
of approximately 300,000. He said this
"would result in 178,000 in excess of
requirements." The secretary continued, "We (the Defense Department) have found it advisable to
adopt a policy of 'freedom of choice,'
leaving the decision entirely up to
the institution."
As for the Air Force, although
some officers are opposing voluntary
ROTC, the service as a whole is planning to ak its advisory committee
to recommend that AFROTC be put
on a voluntary basis. Air Force Col.
William C. Lindley has said, "There
is no doubt that the AFROTC program is overextended. We have units
in 175 schools and subuuits in 15
others. Accordingly, we have a freshman enrollment in Air Science I of
more than 60,000 boys each September. Four years later we commission from 3,500 to 4,000 of them as
second lieutenants. The loss and the
cost are great to ljoth the institution and the Air Force."
Proof of the wisdom of the Defense Department's policy was shown
last semester when the University of
Wisconsin made its ROTC program
voluntary on a trial basis. Wisconsin
