Fighl For Your Rights!
Within the next few weeks, more than GO.(KX) college
students will practically lose their right to vote unless they
stand up and fight.
There are, at present, two hills in committee in the State
Legislature which would provide for the repeal of the absentee
ballot except for use by members of the armed forces and
their spouses. These are House bills 3S and 1 IS which were
introduced last month.
This move to re peal the absentee vote was brought about
because .13 counties were suspected of irregularities in the
administration of the absentee ballots last spring. Rather
than repair the bill to the point where such acts are impossible, the legislators want to penalize the residents of the
other 107 counties. This is clearly a case of throwing away
a whole barrel of apples because there are two or three
rotten .oues.
If passed, and there irmuch sentiment for the repeal bill
in Frankfort, this would deprive most college students and all
Kcntuckians employed by the Federal government in the
District of Columbia of the right to vote.
They probably make up a good percentage of the intelligent voters in this state.
Only slightly over two years ago, the people of this state
have the voting franchise. Now,
saw fit to Jet
the legislators propose to take away that franchise from the
college students the more intelligent oT the teen-agvoters
and leave it for the less intelligent which still reside in their
'
home county.
This is sheer nonsense! It amounts to a penalty for
college. College students cant afford to Jay out of
classes a day or two to return home perhaps several hundred
miles to vote on election day. It would hurt their grades
and their purses.
Two colleges in the state have already protested against
the bill, Georgetown and Eastern. The students signed petitions and representatives of the student body appeared at
Frankfort to protest. Such a movement is underway on campus.
The Kernel heartily endorses it and suggests that the
student body do likewise by putting their signatures to the
petition.
The right to vote is one of the basic rights and privileges
ofa democracy. Lose the right to vote and you lose the
right to protest, make changes, or choices, and the other
freedoms which are so often taken for granted.
students want to keep these rights, they'll have to
fight for them.

REPEAL

Alright, Hand It Over

Open Letter

From Editor
In a recent staff change, the
author of this editorial was named
editor of the Kernel for the second
semester, succeeding Frank Strunk.
Mr. Strunk' set a high standard
which it will be difficult to measure up to. But I shall do the best
possible to meet that standard.
As far as the basic Kernel policies go there will be no major
changes. The Kernel may differ
in some small way from that of
last semester, but not to such a
degree that it will be overly'
obvious.

If anyone on the campus has a
gripe or an opinion which he thinks
should be aired or some information which the student body should
be aware of, the Kernel wishes to
know about it.
Any letter to the editor which
is signed and not of a libelous
nature will be printed. The writer's
name will be withheld on request.
These have always been the
policies of the Kernel and will
continue to be.

New Look For SGA?
thcStudent Government AssociaThe plan to
tion here is worth the careful consideration of not only
members of the assembly, but the student body as well.
Under the proposed system, SGA will be in closer contact
with the students. At the same time its members will represent more workable and better defined segments of the
student body. Much of the apathy on campus regarding SGA
in recent years can be traced to the fact that the members
of the organization have been in poor communication with
the interests they represent.
Any move which would facilitate the relations between
students and their representatives in campus government
would stimulate much needed interest as well as give impetus
to the governing body.
While it may disquiet a few, the new plan has the advantage of subordinating all other student organizations on
campus to SGA. There can be no other alternative if such
a thing as student government is to exist.
Should SGA decide to revise its framework and constitution, it will have to be ratified by a vote of the students. If
and when an election is held, it will be interesting to see how
many of the decriers of the association will be outspoken
enough to vote for a change.'

RUSSIA, TOO, DOESNT KNOW WHAT
TO DQ AHOUT ITS SCHOOLS
During World Warr II and within a short period
the US. produced the atom bomb. It was during
this same period, as some will remember, that the
I.

military, employers, and all the
critics were crying that American education had
deteriorated. It was .only a small group of talented
men, furnished with unlimited resources, who developed the bomb in a crash program. But the
craftsmen who built the delicate instruments for
Oak Ridge were equally essential for this success.
Perhaps, after all, the quality of the American
schools was less important than the abundance of
resources and the concentration of skills on the
project.
t
In the same way the production of Sputnik
proves little about the general quality of Soviet
schools. Obviously Russia has at least a few school
traininr some outstanding: kcientists and engineers.
Their crash program did the rest. But their victory
did not come out of nothing. Few Americans know
that the first textbook in the world on aeronatitles
self-appoint-

was published In Russia before the first world war.
Indeed, many of the best senior Russian scientists
were educated in universities developed in the
Tsarist period.
,
France, on the other hand, has long had excellent schools, but relatively few discoveries come
out of France today. One cannot make sweeping
generalizations about schools on the basis of random spectacular examples. In order to get a reliable
picture we must consider the whole range of schools
in both Russia and the U.S.
In these short articles on Russian education the
purpose is not to prove that either school system i3
superior but only to give a clear description of the
main features. At the outset it is necessary to face
up to the fact that the external features of the
two educational systems have a great deal in common. Europeans are as much impressed by the
similarities of the two nations as by their differences. In 1835 the French observer be Tocqueville
wrote: "There are at the present time two great
nations in the world, which started from different
points, but seem to tend towards the same end.
I allude to the Russians and the Americans." There
are fundamental contrasts in purpose, spirit, and
political setting of these two school systems. But
they become more alike each year and at the same
time find they must tn'gp,' with, thp same problems.

Until the last few years the primary educational
task for Russia was to spread literacy and develop
the basic industrial skills. Their relatively few
scientists and engineers concentrated on copying
the best knowledge and machines of the rest of
the world. Except in weapons and a few other
fields, pioneering work has been emphasised onlv
in the last few years. We, on the other hand,
were among the most productive scientific nations.

We have tried to do original work, with all too few
men for the job. Our best men have been scattered
over all fields - of knowledge. Much of - our best
talent was used to improve consumer goods such as
television or automobiles or lawnmowers. The Russian government had little interest in helping consumers live better.
There has been too much tendency in discussions
on this subject to compare the best Russian features
with our typical schools. The Russian system, like
ours, is a very spotty one. Their teachers are
underpaid. Their rural schools are inferior. Most
of their children receive far less than the intended
amount of schooling. In turn, we have some of the
best primary, secondary, and higher schools in the
world.

It would be foolish and premature to conclude
that we should remodel our schools on the Russian
plan. First of all. as mentioned, Sputnik proves
little. Second, the real taA is to decide which
parts of our system are doing a good job and

which need rebuilding. Finally, to ape them by
throwing all our emphasis upon science and engineering would be to confess that their system of
life is really better than ours. We could not
actually copy their school system without copying
many other parts of Russian society. We can
strengthenthose schools and programs we row
have which have proved they can deliver the particular Russian results that we do want to copy.
. There must be a lot of American professors
and
teachers enjoying some sour lauuhs these days.
3ust a few years ago they were accused of misleading American youth and of spreading foreign, even
Russian ideas. Now, suddenly their critics want to
copy wholesale from Russia. .Now our teachers
must save the country.
