SGA Prexy
States Plans

Vincent Spagnuolo, Incumbent
president of the Student Government Association, has announced VOLUME XXXIII
the SGA's plans for the coining
year.

This year the SGA will operate
under its new constitution, which
was adopted during the latter part
of the spring quarter. Under the
new set-u- p
the legislature will be
increased from 22 to 29 members,
who were elected in the spring.
One of the primary concerns of
the organization will be to entertain the trainees stationed on the
campus, and to aid as far as possible in the war effort, Spagnuolo
said.
Some of the specified plans are
to sponsor the War Chest Drive In
October by canvassing the campus

and contacting all students and
trainees; to establish a Victory
Committee to sell war stamps and
bonds during the year and to aim
for a goal that will approximate
$18,000; to unite all social committees Into one group which will set
dates for all social events on the
campus and will initiate and execute all of these affairs; to institute
an Honor System if the sentiment
of the students seems to favor it;
and to publish the student directory
each quarter, Spagnuolo stated.
Spagnuolo plans to submit the
names of Mary Norma" Weather-spoo- n
and Scott Reed as chairmen
of the Victory Committee and the
judiciary Committee respectively,
to the legislature for its approval.

A Student Pleas
To the Editor:
What's wrong with the food
in the cafeteria? It seems to
me (I don't think I am alone)
that the soldiers on the campus could confine themselves
to the cafeteria between the
hours of 12 and 1. There are
many students who have
classes that end at 12:30 and
then have their next class at
1. It is almost an impossibility to get anything to eat due
to the crowded condition in the
grill. When you finally push
and kick your way up to the
counter, the soldiers come
first. I realize there are other
places to eat, but after all I
did pay $35 to attend school
and I think one should receive
benefit of the school facilities.
The
student
government
should take some action in this
matter. How about it, Spag?

Gentleman Of Company B
Hope For More Serenading

It was 10:15 p.m, and Bradley
hall bustled with activity that is
rarely matched during study hours.
Tooth brushes were scrubbing away
and necks and ears were getting a
needed taste of soap. Suddenly,
from the darkened quadrangle, burst
forth the clear voices of a chorus
of college maidens serenading the
men in the ASTP.
Windows shot up, lights went out,
and men leaned out listening appreciatively to the serenade. The
men of Company B wish to express
their thanks and appreciation to
the group of Kentucky coeds whose
spirited gesture helped just another
day end on a bright note.
We deplore the bad taste of some
of our number who couldnt restrain themselves from acting as
though they had never seen a female of the species before, and
charging outside the barracks in
a series of commando and infiltration tactics which succeeded only
In driving the girls away.
We hope their action will not

discourage the girls from present
ing a return engagement, for on
the whole the men of Company B
appreciated the spirit of the demonstration and hope it will be repeated in the future. A few bad
apples in this case will not, we
hope, be taken to mean that the
whole barrel is spoiled.

A Recipe For Exam Taking
In Hot Month Of August
By Bill Spragens
Have you ever crammed for an
exam in the hot, sweltering days
of August? Well, dear reader, if
you haven't, you dont know what
you're getting ' into. The most
abominable way to spend one's
time on a hot summer night is to
study. To illustrate, we shall take
the typical evening of a UK student who has an exam coming up
on the morrow, and, since he has
not cracked a book since he started
his course, must needs cram until
all hours of the night.
At eight o'clock, our student (If
he is typical) decides to go to the
show to get cooled off for his
night's work. After he has sat
through a double feature for three
hours, he decides to return home
and get down to the work of the
evening. Arriving at his home, he
proceeds to settle down to a card
game of an hour's duration or else
a game of checkers or participate in
some other parlor diversion.
Finally, at about one o'clock, our
hero comes to the conclusion that
he must do several hours of hard

studying if he expects to pass his
course. He settles down in an easy
chair with his book and feverishly
mops his brow. After studying for
fifteen minutes, he slams his book
shut, and marches around the room
in pursuit of a pesky fly which is
annoying his concentration. After'
continuing his pursuit of knowledge
for another half hour, he gets more
deeply Involved than ever. Finally,
the phone rings' and the long-lo- st
friend who has just blown into
town wants to come oVer and have
a bull session for half the night
After the guest departs, our victim
settles down to hard work, probably too late to do-- any goodtB
this time it is about three o'clock
in the morning. If our hero were
d,
he would give up everything at this point, but, of
course, being a UK man, he continues his studying far into the
night. And so the dawning fhids
our hero hard at work, et cetera,
'
ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
P.S.: The poor guy flunked his
exam after all.
P.S.S.: Dont let it happen to you
next week.

Recently we confronted a certain
specie of the male animal whom we
had met before. Although this particular specie has traits, habits, and
customs which ant distinctly its
own and which sets it apart from
the others of its group, it is completely harmless If viewed from
afar. Although in actuality this
creature in question is by all means
macrniin., we are forced to refer
to it in the neuter sense in order
to dispell any confusion which
might arise between it and its civilian cousins. We are referring to
the ASTP boys whom we ran across
last week in St Louis.
We bad been in St Louis an entire week without even a thought of
being lonesome for Lexington and

day. Viewing the campus of Washington University, we suddenly
