Students Help Plan
UK Health Service
University students will be able
to participate in planning the UK
Health Service.
Official spokesman for the students will be the Student Advisory
Committee to the University Health
Service.

IK President Frank

G. Dickey

authorized the committee and said:
"I believe an established channel
between the
of communication
Health Service and students would
contribute to program development
and operation which is responsible
to the interests and needs of the
group served."
The idea for initiating the committee rests with the Health Service, Dr. Richardson K. Noback, director of the UK unit, said.
Sim e he became director, Noback

said he has tried to Improve the
service offered to students.
Noback said that some medical
schools with "good" health services
have no liason between students
and administration. The new program is an attempt to organize
the medical service and to give the
students what they feel they need
most in this area.
Students who have, accepted
membership on the committee are
Lucy Salmon, Betsy Gibson, Thomas F. Donlon, Garryl Sipple, Frank
Nisbet King Jr.. and Don Capdau.
Noback said the program is expected to help the further development "of a program sensitive to
the needs of students and also to
increase geneia! understanding of
factors important in providing
health care."

had "no comment" concerning a
resolution in the State Legislature
to change the name of the Albert B. Chandler Medical Center.
Dr. Dickey said he would not
comment on the matter until he
had seen a copy of the resolution.
He said reports of the resolution
were somewhat vague.
The resolution would change the
name of the center to the Ephraim
McDowell College of Medicine.
Dr. Dickey added that he did
not know whether the resolution
if passed, would be a "compelling
force" or not and that he must
study it before comment will be
made.

Magazine Criticizes

Rupp's Philosophy
The current issue of the Nation
Coach
criticizes UK basketball
Adolph Rupp for his philosophy of
winning games to the "corruption"
of its athletes.
The article, entitled "Basketball:
The Fix Is Still Cm" and written
by Willard Manus, quotes an article
in Sports Illustrated last year in
which Rupp said he did not merely wish to participate in sports
but to be successful in them.
It says in part:
"To be sure. Rupp's teams have
always won for him and he has
had the kind of success which has
enabled Kentucky to build a four
million dollar Memorial Coliseum
seating nearly 15.000 people, but
the most telling thing about his
article is that it never once touched on the six Kentucky players

who were indicted in 1951 for fixing games.
"Obviously Rupp sees no connection between the conquistador
philosophy of the game and the
corruption of its athletes."
Primarily, however, the article Is
concerned with the current "fixing'
of ball games at St. John's University and Pittsburgh.
It says, however, in another reference to Kentucky:
colleges that win
"The major

Kentucky, Bradley,
North Carolina, etc. are basketball factories; they recruit the best
players on the marxet.
"Round and round it goes; they
recruit their players to build winning teams, to attract crowds, to
get gate receipts in order to recruit more players to win more
games to recruit more players.
"The players are recruited in any
number of ways through tuition
scholarships,
lavish
allowances, summer sinele
cures, a new job for daddy,
cash handouts.
"Most are In flagrant violation of
every standard of amateur sport
that currently exists.
"The NCAA
and the various
other college' athletic councils have
at one time or another passed
sanity codes that call for severe
penalties for such things as 'subsidization eligibility infractions,'
but, as the euphemism indicates,
the issue is never met head on, the
codes are eventually emasculated,
and the game continues on its
dollar-merr- y
whirl."
Dr. Frank G. Dickey, in an article explaining the University's position on recruiting, has said recruiting is clean at UK and that
athletics are not overemphasized.

* Basketball Blues
Since the end of the holidays, a
ubiquitous atmosphere of disgust and
depression has prevailed on campus

over the rather unfortunate fortunes
of the Wildcats' basketball team and
its mediocre record at this stage of
the season.
Despite the fact that Kentucky has
beaten some of the most talented
s
record
teams in the nation, a
has created much alarm
of 4
amongst sportswriters, students, and
fans. It is one of the worst starts
ever experienced by Coach Adolph
Hupp, they say, and many have expressed that the Kentucky players
are simply not hustling and should be
ashamed to wear a UK uniform.
But after you wade through these
myriads of excuses and condemnations
and other blatant blusterings, you
have to step forward in defense of
the Wildcats and agree with the evaluation of Coach Rupp himself: "We
simply don't have a good ball team
yet, that's all." Statements then that
the players are not trying has to be
dismissed as so much hogwash and
prattle.
Basketball teams, despite the popular conception, are not produced by
emotional outbursts of writers or
caustic remarks against players. They
are developed by hard work, desire,
and intelligent leadership. And what
does it matter if Kentucky does not
win the NCAA championship every
year or the Southeastern Conference,

for that matter? Winning basketball
games should not mean placing undue
pressure on a college student because
he hasn't accomplished something his
predecessor has.
This docs not mean that basketball
teams should not play to win. On the

contrary. But expecting the Wildcats
to perform at peak during every game
of their gruelling schedule is neither
fair nor realistic; chastising them for
failing to win each game and not

at a Negro fraternity

convention has advised Negro fraternities that they should be doing more
to open up membership to whites.
Herbert E. Tucker, a Negro who is
assistant attorney general of Massachusetts, estimates that whites account for less than 5 percent of the
membership of the four major national Negro fraternities.
Tucker is urging the Negro groups
to integrate in part because of a
growing shortage of Negro members.
The increasing willingness of white
fraternities to pledge Negro students,
says Tucker, has resulted in the sons
of present members preferring "the
well established white groups." A
number of colleges and universities
are also reported to be questioning
the advisability of chartering predominantly Negro fraternities.
A suggestion that Negro fraternities

should seek white memlxrs to replace the Negroes lost to white fraternities would have seemed fantastic a
few years ago. Many of the national
fraternities maintained strict racial

Negroes have joined previously

The Readers' Forum
On Birth Control
To The Editor:
Education is a farce. Students are
encouraged to think for themselves.
This is encouraging subversive
activities. Freedoms of
belief, speech, thought, etc. are
merely means of filling up the Bill of
Rights with words to ir.ake the people
tliink they have some fights so they
won't become too discontented with
their form of government.
Maybe this has nothing to do with
the Catholics and the issue of birth
control, I thought so, too, until a Catholic boy overheard a conversation on
the birth control issue and hastily
interrupted with some questioning on
of the
the idea of
American Constitution.
It seems the Catholics are thoroughly opposed to the
of anything. Their bishops and
Pope tell them exactly what their beliefs are supposed to be. If they do
not agree, or go so far as to actually
say they don't agree. . . . Well, we all
know what happens then.
Just like what happened to Kennedy. Of course his answer was
but he did venpretty
ture to say something without first
asking the permission of his bishop
or the Pope.
Isn't this a subtle kind of indoctrination technique that the Russians
should know abont to make their
system stronger? After all, the Russians are relatively beginners
to the long record of the Cathan

olics.

Through their ultimatum to Kennedy, they have shown with new
clarity just what sort of influence
and determination they have for running the lives of their followers even
to placing undue influence on the
opinions of the government leaders.
They have opposed the idea of
making birth control an issue of political leaders. They have also objected
to the U. S. giving financial aid to
any country that intends to use it
for birth control.
Why should any religious group
object to a country's discussing the
problems of greatly increased population and some plan to solve this
problem. Can they deny that it is
a problem? It seems that instead of
being willing to reinterpret their religious beliefs with new eyes according to the times involved as the
Supreme Court has had to do about
the constitutional meaning in numerous occasions they are still looking

at the problem as though they were
still living in the days when each
man had several wives and had to
make efforts to increase the population of the world as quickly as
possible. Surely, when the world has
so many people suffering and dying
from hunger because of overcrowded
conditions and an insufficient food
supply, they aren't willing to
