tentative budget was presenfed to tlie Student (Joverninent
Association ly Treasurer Henry Maeser at a call meeting Monday
niglit. The hudg't calls for a total of $4.43S which is a $425 decrease from last year's budget of S4.S63.
Items which were approved by the Assembly included a $S(X)
appropriation for the student directories, $5X) for the House President's Council, and $1750 for the SGA secretary'.

boy and girl from each hiph school
in the state, to tour and learn
about the campus.
3. Considered the present low student wages. "We're up against a
stone wall," Holleman said, "but
still working".
4. Discussed the lack of student
parking space on the campus, and
made plans to discuss diagonal
street parking with city officials.
5. Continued plans for an

to receive $488, or a 50 cent increase
over $487.50 last year.
Vague, the campus literary magazine, is slated to receive $150, and
Freshman Orientation $125. The
proposed budget calls for $1250 for
miscellaneous items, including election ballots and postage costs.
One member asked why SGA
should pay for the House President's
Council's residence rule book, when
the cost could be less by
the rules.
Dean of Students Albert D. Kir-wa- n
explained that formerly there
aswas a women's
sociation which charged each co-e- d
$1 for publication of the rule book.
When SGA was formed about 15
years ago, it was verbally agreed
that the new organization would
$500
appropriate
to the House
President's Council.
Only $250 was appropriated last
year because the Council stipulated
that $200 of the money was to be
spent for a vocational guidance program. Due to a schedule conflict,
this program was not held, and. the
Council did not need as large an
appropriation.
Paul Holleman, chairman of the
planning committee, said the committee had:
1. Laid plans to send a SGA
newsletter to each student every
semester.
2. Planned to sponsor a senior

athletic department to permit students to buy transfers on identification cards so others can use them.
The absence of SGA members at
the meetings was discussed by the
Assembly.
George Lawson, president, said that SGA meetings should
come before all other meetings and
a student should not have accepted
his nomination if he did not intend
to come to the meetings.
"Those who do not come at all
are not interested and should be
dropped from SGA," Lawson said.
"The
read that if a person
misses three meetings without a
legitimate excuse, he is automatically dropped."
Dean Kirwan said that he had
talked to Elgan Farris, kead of the
Maintenance and Operations Department, and that the sidewalks in
Botonical Gardens will be repaired
so they will drain water.
The Assembly voted to drop the
teacher rating system because it had
proved inefficient.

CANDIDATES

Eisenhower,
Cooper Win
Mock Election
The Republican presidential and
senatorial candidates, Dwight D.
Eisenhower and John Sherman
Cooper, won in the mock election
held on campus last Tuesday.
A total of 1,366 votes were
on two voting machines
which were borrowed from the Fayette County Election Board. This
represented about 22 per cent of an
estimated 6,000 eligible to vote. Both
students and faculty voted.
Results of the election were:
For President: Dwight D. Eisenhower, 771; Adlai E. Stevenson, 565.
For U.S. Senator: John Sherman
Cooper, 804; Thomas R. Underwood,

ed

525.

The mock election was sponsored
by the new College Chamber of
Commerce, league of Women Voters,
Young Democratic Club, and the
Eisenhower for President Club.
The sponsorers called the vote
turnout the largest of any mock
election held on the campus. They
said that many students failed to
vote because of short free periods
between classes and because only
two voting machines were available.
In the last three presidential campaigns, the student poll successfully
predicted the election results. In
1948, Harry S. Truman polled 25
votes over Thomas Dewey. Only ten
per cent of the potential vote, or
694 ballots, were cast that year.

An exhibition of art work by Victor Hammer, artist in residence at
Transylvania College, is being displayed this month in the Margaret
I King Library and the Fine Arts
building.
Some of Mr. Hammer's finest portraits and religious paintings are on
display in the Fine Arts gallery, and
print displays of types that he has
designed, together with their history, are being shown on the first

Mr. Hammer was born in Vienna,
where he received his early training. He was the professor of the
Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna for
several years. He established his
own press, the Stamperia del
in Italy.
After coming to the United States
in 1939, Mr. Hammer founded the
Wells College Press at Wells College, N. Y. While connected with
the press he printed several books
in the type he developed. Mr. Hammer has been artitt in residence at
Transylvania since 1948.
The exhibition in the Fine Arts
building consists of Mr. Hammer's
sketch work for portraits and paintings and the same pictures when
completed. Many of the portarits
displayed are of German nobles that
Mr. Hammer painted.
Included in the art display are
numerous sketches and designs for
a painting. "St. John VIII," and the
final, which is done in egg tempera.
The sketches are so arranged in the

Revamp Fraternity Row Plan
Since Greeks Have Defaulted
Since a majority of the fraternities on campus
don't seem much interested in the University's recently proposed Fraternity How development, we
think the project should Ix' revamped to provide
housing for independent students.
Only five groups turned in applications for a
house in the eight-unprojWt and it's quite possible some of these five may le forced to hack out.
University officials are currently investigating the
applicants to see if they can meet necessary financial obligations.
Several Greek-lette- r
groups have expressed a desire to participate in the development but most of
them seem to feel that it would be too expensive.
Another disadvantage cited by the fraternities is
lliat they would never hold clear title to the houses
and land, even after paying off the original cost on
each individual house.
,
Bitter comment has been forthcoming from independents on campus ever since the idea was first
'announced. One outspoken resident of Scott Street

Students Cheers
Were Surprising
Despite the crushing defeat we suffered down on
the field, last Saturday's football game provided
one very satisfactory thrill. The student stands,
traditionally silent as tli;-- proverbial grave, came
alive in a frenzy of cheering.
We were sort of fond of Suky's card section
and hate to see it go, but the revived student spirit
that burst forth last week is worth a dozen card
sections. UK rooters, led by an invigorated group
of cheerleaders, stood and roared the Wildcats out
of every huddle. Even in the last quarter when the
spectators on the other side of the field had given

Green Wave. This breathing spell can be put to
good advantage. It will give the cheerleaders a
chance to perfect their techniques and work out a
few new yells. Friday before the game, Suky and
the cheerleaders can teach these new yells to the
students at a huge pep rally.
UK has long had championship athletic teams and
it finally looks as though the school is getting a
championship student lxxly.

Barracks summed up a general feeling pretty well
when he asserted,
"The fraternity loys have already got houses,
even if some of them aren't the greatest little castles
in the world. If the people w ho dreamed up this
Fraternity Row deal think the Greeks are so bad
off, they ought to try living over here in one of
these fallen down fire traps for a semester or two.
Then mabe they'd see alout getting us independents some housing."
It might be possible to go ahead and build the
eight houses as planned and then set them up as
cooperative units. This alternative would mean
that the money spent on architects fees wouldn't
be wasted. Another possibility would be for the
University to revamp the program completely and
erect another men's dormitory to go with the one
already scheduled to Ixgin construction the first
of the year.
Whether or not Fraternity Row is or was a good
idea is now beside the point. By defaulting and
kicking their gift horse in the teeth, the Greeks have
given the University a chance to do something to
alleviate the long neglected and abused
men's housing situation.

last week. Whoever it was, they seemed to think
we had to be down on Main street a flat three
minutes after starting.
Coming back up Lime, I slowed down a little to
catch my breath and a husky blonde ran into me,
ramming her teeth into my skull. She got up rather
dazed but with molars intact.
Some people always did say I had
a hole in my head.
On the whole, I thought the
rally was a great improvement
over the practically nonexistant
cheering in the past, but wouldn't
it be a lot better if the band led
the parade next time?

I guess this ends my usual yearly letter to the
Kernel. Keep up the good work.

Service building is not a heating plant for Scott
Street Barracks as Miss Fryer so gleefully a'sserted

Almost every aware individual on campus knows
the true nature of this project. Why can't your
columnist get on the ball and print information
that's valid?

Kernel with a great deal of interest. Let me assure
you that the usual fine job is being done.

Dear Editor:
On the whole I find the Kernel a
paper, even though it is put out by a crew of
amateurs. For the most part you people seem to do
a good job. Last week, however, one of your columnists ran an item that I should think could have

Why not write up some Engineering professor in
your weekly Profile? All the men so far seem to be
from Arts and Sciences. We like to read about our
profs too. How alwiit Prof. Brinkley Barnett or
some other prof that has achieved a little distinction.
