Garryl Sipple, Arts and Sciences senior, was elected Student Congress president Monday night and urged the new
representatives to "break up
their petty jealousy" and support the rejuvenated congress.

Although a senior, Sipple plans
to return to the University next
fall for graduate study in polit-- J , , IWIII - . ajwV-ical science.
Sipple received 59 of the 89
votes cast. The other two candidates Norman Warned, Engineerand David

Neville Hall.

II,

Sipple climaxed the two hour
and 40 minute meeting by naming
three study committees to investigate campus problems.
A committee was named to study
the controversy that has arisen
over the proposal to drop the
present
physical education requirement for graduation
by the Arts and Sciences Division
of Literature, Philosophy, and the
Arts.
Committees were also named to
investigate campus lighting and
constructing a larger sidewalk by
the Chi Omega sorority house leading to sorority row.
Sipple pointed out that the committee chosen to investigate the
compulsory courses was only to
see what Student Congress could
do if it wanted to take action on
the matter. David Stewart will
head the committee.
Bob Smith was named chairman of the campus lighting committee and Carolyn Reid will
direct the sidewalk committee.
A nominating committee headed
by Norman Harried, chairman of
the election committee, met last
Thursday and chose three nominees for each of the four Student
Congress offices. Several nominations, however, were made from
the floor.

Sipple Appeals For SC Support

The new Student Congress president appealed to the studenfs not to "fluff their chance
to put UK student government back on its feet.
"If we kill it this spring It will never come back,"
Garryl Sipple told the 89 representatives at the

assembly's first meeting Monday night.
"I want to get Student Congress started back.
We've gotten the chance so do one thing support
Student Congress," Sipple urged.
Judging from the attendance Monday night,
Student Congress is well on its way to power again.
At full strength there are 105 representatives inmembers. Only 16 members were
cluding
absent.
The election meeting lasted two hours and 40
minutes. Sipple told the delegates that there "would
never have another meeting this long." He urged
the representatives to attend next Monday night's
meeting, which he promised would be short since
final examinations are approaching.
Sipple said one of his policies as president would
be to discuss in each meeting any letter printed
by the Kernel which stated student grievances,
lie said the Kernel reflected student feeling and

student problems should be considered by the
assembly.
Sipple also asked each delegate to let their
friends and classmates know that they were Student
Congress representatives. This way, he pointed out,
we can get first hand the problems of many students.
John Williams, Commerce representative, who
was also nominated for the presidency, but withdrew in favor of Sipple, spoke briefly in behalf of
Sipple before the presidential ballot was taken.
Williams said Sipple Intended to investigate installing a caution traffic light near the Fine Arts
Building for girls crossing Rose Street to sorority
row. He added that Sipple also was in favor of
Improving campus sidewalks and the sidewalk near
the Chi Omega Sorority house leading to sorority
houses.
According to Williams, Sipple also advocates
using the Social Science Building as a study hall
when the political science department is moved to
Kastle Hall.
In closing the meeting, Sipple appointed study
committees to investigate three campus problems.
Committees were appointed to study compulsory
courses, campus lighting, and building a new sidewalk to sorority row.

Besides Stewart and Harned,
John Williams, Commerce representative, and Bob Smith, Agriculture representative were also
nominated. Both Williams and
Smith withdrew in favor of Sipple.
Nominated for vice president
were Larry Westerfield, Tom
Cherry, Bob Fields, and Bob
Smith. Smith gained 42 votes to
Fields' 21, Cherry's 6, and Wester-field- 's
14.

Miss Chenault had only one op-

ponent for the secretaryship. She
received 50 votes to Commerce
representative Mary Jo Parsons'
29 votes.
Alice Ford and Ann
Schwartz, the present secretary,
both declined the nomination.
Six persons were nominated for
the treasurer's post. Nominated
were Cecil Bell, Louise Rose, David
Short, Jim Wainscott, Myra Tobln,
and Larry Westerfield. Short and
Miss Tobin withdrew.
In the evening's closest contest.
Bell received 25 votts. Miss Rose
22 votes, Westerfield 21 votes, and
Wainscott two votes.
The new officers were sworn In
by Bill Sprague, chairman of the
Judiciary Board.

No, friendn, no. Rimbaud is not allowed to smoke on the job
and when he finishes his long, miserable day he lias to buy his
own Marlboros, even as you and I, in order to settle back and
enjoy that choice tobacco, that smooth, mellow flavor, that incomparable filter, that pack or lxx.
Well, friends, you might as well give np because you'll never
in a million years guess why Rimbaud works for the Acme Ice

He took Rimbaud home and raised him as his own, and
Rimbuud, to show his appreciation, studied hard and got excellent murks und finished a distinguished academic career
valedictorian of M.I.T.
Rimbaud never complained to his kindly foster father, but
through all those years of grammar school and high school and
college, lie darn near died of the heat! A seal, you must remember, is by nature a denizen of the Arctic, so you can imagine how jMor Rimbaud must have suffered in subtropical

Kennedy's proposed Youth Peace
Corps.
As outlined by Dr. Max Millikan,
director of the Center for International Students at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, who headed the group
which drew up the plan, the Peace
Corps will be anything but the haven
for draft dodgers Vice President
Richard Nixon pictured it to be during the presidential campaign.
Instead of being exempted from
the draft as mentioned by Mr. Kennedy during the campaign, young
men would merely be made eligible
for draft deferment as some graduate
students now are.
The United States government
would pay for the training of the
corps which would include several
months of foreign language study
where necessary, but host governments would pay the basic wages of
the Peace Corps volunteers at local
rates for the work performed. In addition, care would be taken to avoid
setting corps members up as a conclass in the local
spicuously
societies (a complaint often leveled
against our armed forces overseas).
With Peace Corps members recruited for two years service in underdeveloped nations, paid at local rates,
placed in lower level housing, and
promised no draft exemptions, it

Only through a program paralleling ROTC and offering the same benefits propwily supervised training designed to enable students to enter the
Peace Corps ready to take their
places in it, exemption from selective
service, and fulfillment of their military obligations will the Peace Corps
be able to achieve the ends Mr. Kennedy has envisioned for it.
We hope a forward-lookinpresident and Congress will realize the
importance of such a training program
to the Peace Corps and institute it before the idea of a Peace Corps is lost
altogether.

across campus on a rainy evening can
prove an insurmountable obstacle to
romance.
Even when the present coed dorm
was instituted of necessity the girls
were not permitted to eat dinner with
the men but have been obliged to
trudge across campus to the SUB.
Why the sexes may break bread together at breakfast but not at dinner
is not easily understood. Perhaps it
is felt that students would be too
sleepy to be interested at 7 a.m. or
that the coeds' appearance at breakfast in curlers would scare off any
male advances.
We admit that providing easy access to the opposite sex through living
arrangements which exude the atmosphere of a harem does not fall within
a university's area of responsibility;
however, in the
century,
with many years separating us from
our Puritan forebearers, neither does

of the campus.
If a university is, as has been said
so often, life in miniature, UK is not
fullfilling its responsibilities to train
men and women for the larger world
outside. For there, men and women
live and work in close proximity.
And we have heard they sometimes have dinner together.

In a recent issue of a national
Sunday magazine supplement featuring an article concerning coeducational dormitories at UCLA, the university
housing supervisor was quoted as saying all future dorms would house both
men and women.
At the same time UK is discontinuing its first coed dorm. After the
successful experiment with coed living
in Bowman Hall, a similar arrangement should be considered when planning future dorm construction. And
in the interim officials could consider
maintaining the coed setup in the
Quadrangle.
At UCLA, the consensus is that an
arrangement whereby women occupy
three floors of a
dormitory
has not led to "scholastic or moral
failure." On the contrary, they say
coed living has solved a number of
behavior problems and has changed
"boys into gentlemen," especially in
language and dress. Observations in
the coed Quadrangle support that
position.
The present unsatisfactory dormitory arrangement here apparently is
based on the premise that the sexes
may attend class together but living in
close proximity is taboo. An analogy
with Harry Golden's verticle Negro
plan for school integration comes to
mind.
If not a diabolical plot to frustrate
prospective Romeos, the remote women's dorms at least serve to dampen
