UK Campus

By William Slusher

The man responsible for UK‘s
beautifully landscaped campus is
Norris R. Elliott of the College of
Agriculture and Home Economics.

Landscaping is something just
taken for granted by most of us.
It is a composite of balance, sym-
metry. and harmony all blended in
correct propcrtions to present a
pleasing composition to the eye. All
this calls for long hard hours of
planning. replanning. consultation.

‘and good ideas turned into pains-
Landscaping doesn‘t »

just happen.

Mr. Elliott was born in Chandlers- .
. ville. Ohio. and came to the Uni-

versity in 1915 after receiving his
masters degree from Ohio State
University the previous year.

ONE OF HIS FIRST duties with
the University was serving as as-

sistant. professor of horticulture and ,
working at the Experiment Station.‘

He has been affiliated with the agri-
culture department since then.

The landscaping layouts of the:

Coliseum. Fine Arts Building. and

at present the beautifying of thej

,iiew Service Building are the more?
noticeable accomplishments of Mn.

Elliott's landscaping abilities.

BESIDES TEACHING AND land- 1

scaping at UK, Mr. Elliott travels

, and works with home demonstration

l

agents doing extension work in Ken-
tucky counties. Even with a sched-
ule which is a daily test of endur-
ance. Mr. Elliott is noted among his
colleagues and students for his
sense of humor.

Kentucky can be proud of its

’fast growing, modern university. and
.the University can thank Mr. Norris

Dollar Day Is Bargain Day

If you havent contributed to the \Vorld Student Service Fund.
Dollar Day is for you.

Today has been designated by the “7585‘ Committee as Dollar
Day. From 10am. until 5‘) p.m.. students will be stationed at side-
walk tables at strategic spots on campus. If you're not wearing
the ribbon which signifies that you are already a \VSSF contribn»
tor. you may be asked to help L’K reach its $21110 goal. These
campus workers are equipped to explain \VSSF to you. Ask them
anything youd like to know about how \VSSF helps students
overseas and displaced Students here on our own campus.

After you‘ve talked to the “'SSF worker, we think you‘ll be
convinced that you should dig, deep in that pocket. Remember.
you're not only helping that starving student overseas; you're giv-
ing—for your future.

Two-Party -- Not Two-Party

In this week's “Mailbox". there appears a letter headed “Two—
Party System." Though he may be a little optimistic, the writer
of this letter has some sound ideas concerning the Student Gov—
ernment Association.

\‘Ve are sorry to hear that the SGA fall elections are to be held
Dec. 6. Since next week is a holiday. that means we only have
one Kernel in which to present candidates. platforms. and pub»
licity about one of the most important events on campus: and one
that sh0uld be publicized in time to arouse interest in electing good
candidates.

“'8 admit that we honestly don’t know whether or not there
can ever be a strong SGA on our campus. Many students com-
plain that it doesn't wield much influence now.

\Ve agree with \lr. lingers that the continuation of the two—
party system is the best hope for a truly representative SGA.

The Kernel will continue its policy of strict neutrality regard—
ing student elections. But we are sincerely interested in seeing
a good election in which every candidate must prove to the
students that he deserves their vote. \Ve’d like to publish
a statement by each candidate telling what he would try to accom~
plish if he were elected. If students really KNOW who and what
they’re voting for. perhaps we’ll see some of that long wished-for
interest in SGA.

Well, What Do You Know?

Now we dont llt lievc for a minute that you will drop dead it
you don't spare the time. say for a half a cigarette, to check your-
self against the first of a series of questions on American history
and the American way of life appearing on this editorial page oi
today’s Kernel.

However. it just seems to make sense that you should give a
little attention to some of these questions which we will present
this week and in the following weeks. \Vho knows. the world
situation being as it is. when most of us won't be right busy carv-
ing out a his piece of new American history in our own right?
Maybe a little self—orientation would be helpful.

“'e start off this week with some questions about the press and
freedom of the press. _

Maul The Vols .'

After long editorial consultation the Kernel has decided to go
on record as favoring a Kentucky victory over Tennessee. It is
our firm conviction that this would be a fitting climax to tilt
Happy Thanksgiving we strongly advocate.

Two-Party System ‘

Campus politics is confusing..It's
ever: confusing to campus politi—
Claus. We definitely can‘t uncon-
lu-‘e puitlcians. but pgrhaps the
rest. of us can get en ugh inside
dope on the Student Govemment‘
Association to lead our leaders.

There has been beaucoup criti-
cism heaped upon SGA as an or-
ganization and upon its members in
general. Weakness of the organiza-
tion is a continual gripe. It is often
called an administrative tool. Its
members are accused of heeling to
the slightest whim of the adminis—
tration in spite of student desire or
need. Members are called glory-
seekers.

Where there is smoke there is
fire—your SGA members would be
the first to admit that there are and
haw been cases where each of these
accusations apply. But everyone .
knows that the accusations are over-

stated. The organization does wellr- .

under the circumstances. all the
members desire to serve the student
body and very few ask glory for
their work. But there IS a problem.

The problem is “Do THE STU-
DENTS WANT A STRONG GOV-‘
ERNMENT ENOUGH TO FIGHT.‘
FOR IT?"

The strength of SGA is not in its .
members but in the number of stu-
dents who support its policies and
projects. SGA is a perfect 'extmple
of power being in numbers.

A two-party election last: spring
brought out a near record vote
which caused the administration to
take notice and interest in the elec-

 

ting to grant

tion. The two-party system also
gave the students a choice of rep-
resentatives. The combination of
both parties has produced a highly
active. progressive organization that
has begun to command respect of
the faculty as well as the students.

The administration Iiu spite of
claims to the contrary) is very will-
increasing power to
SGA IF SGA proves: 1. It is com-
posed of competent. level-headed.
non-radical members. 2. It has the
unqualified support of the student
body.

Spirited student interest produces
a two-party system. Two parties
mean a choice of candidates. A
choice of candidates produces an
efficient. representative assembly. A
live-wire assembly plus student in-
terest equals an SGA that demands

more responsibility and respect; from

the administration.
SGA has made much progress dur-
ing the past. year. It will continue

to grow in power and prestige IF.

. it's up to you.

If you are interested in working
for a stronger SGA. see your fra-
ternity president or CLIQUE repre-
sentative or talk to an ALL-STU-

‘DEN'I‘ PARTY representative right
