on accuracy will be awarded and
the winner determined on that

At Todd's signal, pledges representing each sorority will try to

Bourguiba Tougliens Stand
Marx Funeral Hold

President Habib Bour-fcuiTUNIS, Tunisia, AP
toughened his stand toward France today,
demanding the French recognize that they must
give up Bizerte's military base to maintain friendly
lelutions.
Without setting any time limit for a French
withdrawal, the Tunisian president declared before a cheering national assembly:
"Either this evacuation takes place or there will
of France from
be war and total banishment
Tunisia."
Only last month the leader of this former
French colony told Paris that Fiance could continue to occupy the naval and air Installation on
Tunisia's coast for the duration of the Berlin crisis.
Fiance kept the base after granting Tunisia
independence in 1950, saying it was needed as purt
of the defenses of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. Bloody fighting broke out last July
when Bourguiba abruptly tried to force the French
out of the base.
Bourguiba announced he hud sent a note to the
French government saying that no agreement-politi- cal,
economic, or cultural can be made without a prior accord to withdraw French troops from
tiie controversial base.

HOLLYWOOD, (AP) Funeral services will be
conducted today for Chico Marx, 70, eldest member of the comedy team whose films convulsed
movie audiences of the 30's and 40's. He died at
home Wednesday of a heart condition.
The Marx brothers broke up as a team more
than a decade ago and Chico lived quietly in recent years. He played lots of bridge and made an
occasional night-clu- b
appearance.
Among the remaining four brothers, only
Groucho is still an active performer. But
Harpo, 69, who never talked in films, recently regained some prominence with his autobiography,
"Harpo Spejks." The other two brothers, Zeppo
and Gummo, entered private business years ago.

Draflw Terms Kxlrmlrd

BERLIN, (AP) The two parties expected to
form a new West German povernment were reported agreed today on extending the service of
draftees in the Berlin crisis.
West German Defense Minister Franz Josef
Strauss told fellow Christian Democratic members
of parliament in Bonn that draftees in the Army,
Navy, and Air Force probably will serve 18 months,
instead of the present 12, after the first of the year.
He said Erich Mende, Free Democratic Party
leader who has been negotiating on formation of
a coalition government with Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer, had agreed to a longer period.
About 30,000 draftees, whose service was up
Sept. 30, already have had their terms extended
three months.

The Marching 100

For the most part, the students

on this campus realize that UK does

have a band. In fact, a few of them
might even recognize the fact that
it is a good hand.
UK certainly does have a hand,
and it is one of the best in the Southeastern Conference, if not the best.
The Marching 100 could also be
classed as one of the best bands in
the nation.
One of the most flagrant examples
of student apathy is certainly their
attitude toward the band. We doubt
seriously that four out of 10 students
even know the name of the director
of the band.
Warren Lutz, director of UK's
Marching 100, puts a band on the
field at the half of each home football game that is more than 100
people bunched together, dressed in
blue, and herded downfield by a girl
with a stick in her hand and wearing
some negligible sequined attire.
The band comes down the field
by playing a march that more times
than not takes some small amount
if musical ability to play. They do a
series of formations and sometimes
intricate precision drills.
Meanwhile, the students are rushing, around trying to scrounge up
something to eat or drink, or otherwise wandering here and there being
sociable as college students must be.
Occasionally, someone may look
down at the field and recognize that
some group wearing blue uniforms

is down there, doing something, but
no one cares just what.
As the halftime ceremonies near
an end, and the band is going into
its famous "Marching Cats" formation, most of the students have returned to their seats. By the time
the Marching 100 bursts into "Dixie"
there are enough students watching
to make an impressive noise.
This is not because they have enjoyed the halftime show, or they appreciate the maneuver being executed
on the field, or they are proud of this
fine marching organization, but rather
because the song is "Dixie" and we
always yell for Dixie.
Then the band goes off the field,
after the playing of "My Old Kentucky Home," and the students settle
back to their refreshments and enthusiastic support of the Wildcats.
If the students would watch a
halftime show with any amount of
interest at all, they would probably
be surprised to find that they have
a band of the highest quality representing them on the field. If they
woud listen, they would hear one of
the, best sounds obtainable from a
military band.
If they would just take any notice
at all, they might recognize that Mr.
Lutz manages to produce not only a
highly entertaining halftime show for
each home game, but also has 100
fine musicians to perform it for him.
Watch a halftime show sometime.
It's amazing the entertainment value
a fine musical organization such as
our "Marching 100" can impart.

The editors
the Kernel have
been besieged with the wails and
cries of a few students in the past
few days about the alleged
policies and attitudes of this
newspaper. We want to set the record
Straight.

is impossible for the editor to
screen every word and letter which
appears in the Kernel. Those writers
who deviated from the KerncF s policy have received their just reward
for their misdoings.
We feel an apology to Coach
Blanton Collier, the UK Football
Team, et. al., is in order. It is now
and shall always be the policy of the
Kernel to back our team, win or lose.
But, let it also be understood that
when a team or any other organization performs publicly they leave
themselves open to criticism. That
criticism will be forthcoming when we
feel it is necessary. If the criticism
tends to offend those being criticized,
it is not the KerneTs problem.

THE READERS' FORUM
Clarifies Kemark
To The Editor:
Tlease allow me to clarify a remark of mine printed in the Kernel
of Oct. 10. Although I have observed
that even at the University of Illinois
some students seemed to regard the
library as a place to conduct the preliminary stages of courtship, I would
not want to give the impression that
I believed such behavior was ever
the rule there. Nor would I want criticism of the institution to 1h? inferred,
for, as anyone who has enjoyed access
to it will know, the University of Illinois Library is a splendid research
facility worthy of emulation anywhere.
By the way, it is "Mr." rather than
"Dr." Evans.

Running The Course
To The Editor:
In Tuesday's (Oct. 10) Kernel, I
chanced upon a couple of opinions
expressed by certain University
concerning the selfish and
decadent state of the average student.
Since some students have tended
to avoid Tuesday, Thursday, and
Saturday classes, the meeting (Leadership Conference) fallaciously concluded that this was proof of the
selfishness of the average student.
Following such logic as this, one might
arrive at statements like the following!
Even though it would be more
expedient for me to take the bus to
work, I shall not do so for it is selfish
to desire the convenient.
One Eugene E. Evans (instructor
in political science) seems to believe
that the Margaret I. King Library
is a social gathering-place- .
However,
I find that other places are more desirable for social gatherings, because
one is interrupted at the library by
the sound of blasting and the clanking
of heavy machinery. Also, after running the confidence course which presently surrounds the building, one is a
bit too tired to participate in the fertility rites.
It is evident that Mr. Evans missed
philosophy class last Wednesday
when we took up logic.

"flunked." If more instructors would
provide ability and demand it in return, the 2.0 clubs would respond to
market conditions and go elsewhere.
Maybe then a (chuckle) honor system would be desired, and "test
files" recognized for what they
learning. The students
and faculty would not feel an intangible need for an apology for something they should be proud of.

Smoke

To The Editor:
It is somewhat amusing to see
cigarette smoke emerging from the
window of an office of an instructor
in the Social Sciences Building, especially upon remembering the series
of fires that threatened the future of
that great cultural palace less than
a year ago.

Condones Selfishness

.

To The Editor:
This land grant institution (to
some, university may be a dubious
title) has just again proved the unrecognized result of faculty experience for the past several years, namely that groups are "nice" and "important," but they accomplish little.
The Seventh Annual Leadership Conference as reported by the Kernel
(Tuesday, Oct. 10), was the illustration of this recurring result. The
meeting once again illustrated the
need for leadership. What now?
The headline of the article proclaimed an opinion that students are
selfish. I concur, and condone this;
I ev en advocate this. If the good Lord
were teaching philosophy here, how
many unselfish students would be in
his classes? I believe none. My reason for being here at UK is a selfish
one, and I cannot and will not apologize for it.
Perhaps the faculty should be more
selfish. Maybe then some of the cozy
niches of the staff would be aired
out and the rubble swept away.
Maybe ability should be stressed a
little more and some of the faculty

Smoking'' signs posted up and down
