Constructive Criticism Offered On Preregistratiori
The semiannual problem of providing the machinery for students to obtain a satisfactory class
schedule better known as preregistration has
been the subject of a term project for Dr. Gifford
Blyton's Parliamentary Law class this semester.
The class formed itself into an organization called
BORE (Blyton's Organization for Revitalizing the Environment) and conducted a survey in hopes of formulating ideas, suggestions, and constructive criticisms on
the registration problem.
About 500 questionnaires were distributed by the
class. From this survey BORE has compiled the results
of what the students think about preregistration.
Here are student suggestions.

1. Return to the system used for the 1961 spring
semester instead of changing it constantly.
2. Register according to grade averages.
,
3. Have a more extensive program of explaining the
system and thoroughly inform the advisers.
4. Advisers should post, their office hours on their
door and BE THERE at those times.
5. Drop-ad- d
procedures art too complicated.
6. Let students have priority in their major courses.
7. Have special department
for advising transfer
students and freshmen.
8. Establish complete new system.
9 Post closed classes in the Kernel.
One question asked in the survey was for the student
to offer suggestions that would Improve the system. Here
are some of the comments.
"Please stick to one system and leave it that way."

"I am sick, sick, sick, of the confusion
"Advisers should take more Intel est In their advisee!
'
and try to help them."
"Have advisers take their advising more seriously. 1
dont even talk to my adviser anymore because it is ft
waste of time."
"The average student is not qualified to choose his
classes and teachers for a given major. Until an IBM
machine is perfected to plan a student's academic schedule (taking into consideration his IQ, personality, facility for staying awake in 8 o'clock classes) this duty
should be handled by the psychology testing bureau on
the third floor of the administration building."
In summarizing their survey the BORE organization
stated, "This seems to be a problem which everyone
talks about, but no one really ever gets anything

Tradition

Going, Going, Gone

One of the few traditions of college journalism is the farewell editorial in which the departing editor
takes his handkerchief from his pock
et and composes a maudlin tribute to
dear ol' Winsockie while waving his
hankie bravely, stopping only to dab
the tears welling in his eyes.
There is a newer brand of farewell editorial calling for a last editorial broadside at the university before
the opportunity is lost forever.

But alas, we cannot raise a single
tear for the occasion and we have
unleashed our last cannonade. We
can only look back on the last 111 issues with pride. Our editorials struck
home often and even if our opinions
were not always met with universal
agreement, they did achieve one end
they made people think. Many assailed us for expressing "negative
criticism," but we held fast to the
principle expressed by the great editor
II. L. Mencken:
"The truth is that criticism, if it
were thus confined to the proposing
of alternate schemes, would quickly
cease to have any force or utility at
7 all, for in the overwhelming majority
of instances no alternative scheme of
any intelligibility is imaginable, and
the whole object of the critical process is to demonstrate it."
We have been fortunate in possessing a great deal of editorial freedom and we freely exercised this freedom in spite of some who would have
had it suppressed. One irate admin

istrator went so far as to attempt to
get University President Frank Dickey, Vice President Frank Peterson,
and Journalism School Director Niel
Plummer to stop publication of an
objectionable news article. A later
letter to the editor presenting views
unfavorable to this administrator
brought a similar attempt. Faculty
members have opposed us and some
Would have liked to have seen us removed, but free press at the University still survives.
There are many who have disagreed with our stands on the John
Birch Society, the House
Activities Committee, and the
"Operation Abolition" film. There are
those who have branded us "pink"
for our stand and would have had us
silenced, but this is only one of the
many fine things about America: We
can hold our opinions and others may
freely disagree with us without fear.
It has been a year that brought a
number of honors to us, but this
touches on the maudlin and would
be best left without elaboration.
So, as we sit here at our typewriter for the last time as Kernel
editor, ringing down the curtain on
another year of publication, we only
wonder if it was all worth it. But
change is a slow thing; many of the
things we have begun will be finished
by others. Next year's editors, if they
do their jobs, will be berated as we
have been, but they will have their
triumphs, just as we have.
Anderson
:

More Time For Study
other

This year seems to be one that
will be remembered by many as a
year of scheduling problems.
Students will most likely remember the selection of the Thanksgiving
holiday period for next fall's Homecoming long after the latest scheduling difficulty classes the day before
final examinations begin is forgotten.
But the Homecoming situation is one
that will seldom if ever arise again.
The scheduling of classes right up to
final examinations can and perhaps
will occur again, although it should
not be permitted to reoccur.
The present final examination
schedule affords little enough time
to prepare for finals without further
confounding the situation by presenting new material to students Monday afternoon and then expecting
them to repeat this material Tuesday
morning. It seems that the only real
value of the Monday classes would
lie in affording class time for review
and even this value is diminished by
the short period of time to make
profitable use of such review.
A far better plan would be to leave
the weekend and Monday before final
examinations open for study and review of the semester's work. The three
open days could be preceded by a
"dead week" during which no activi

ties
than classes could be
scheduled, thus freeing students to
concentrate on their studies. A number of colleges and universities use
the dead week plan and find it to be
beneficial.
We certainly hope that regardless
of what the University does in the
future it will arrange its examination
schedule to allow a study period before finals.

Apollogy

The Kernel would like to express
its sincerest apologies to David S.
Freeland for remarks alluding to a
letter written by Mr. Freeland made
by Dr. P. L. Mellenbruch in yesterday's Headers' Forum.
While Dr. Mellenbruch's comments represented only his own opinions and not those of the Kernel, we
deeply regret any defamation of Mr.
Freeland's character that may have
been implied by the letter.

The history of woman is the history
of the worst form of tyranny the
world has ever known, the tyranny
of the weak over the strong. It is the
only tyranny that lasts. Oscar Wihle.

THE READERS' FORUM
be surprised to learn that Communists much prefer the internal overthrow of governments. (This is simply
because it is much easier and cheaper.) Finally, if he reads the history
of the Communist advance in the
world, he will find that most countries that are now Communist were
taken over from within and, that in
those that were overcome by military
might, the military feat was made
laughingly easy by a Communist
underground.
These arguments all point in one
direction. That is, America needs
strong organizations for ferreting out
and suppressing communism and
Communists. At the present time, we
have committees like the Committee
Activities and the
on
FBI. At the present time, these organizations are waging a losing battle
against communism. This is simply
because they are hampered by laws
limiting then investigative powers.
We don't advocate the restriction of
our American rights, but we also believe that we have a right to defend
our country against its foes by any
means possible. The Communists have
no rules alnxit how to fkiht "clean."
They have chosen the battleground.
Now we as Americans must beat
them on it, or as Americans we arc
doomed.

Hypocritical?

To The Editor:
During the school year, the Kernel
has continually harped alxuit withholding facts from the press. Now, let
us suppose that an organization on
campus is caught hazing, or that a
professor is arrested for a misdemeanor. Would the Kernel put this
on the front page? To date, the
Kernel has not only put stories of
this nature on the front page, but
has antagonized the administration
for all the lurid details. Let us further
suppose that a member of the Kernel
staff is arrested and convicted of
reckless driving, for example. Recently the publisher of a leading
Southern newspaper was in a sim ilar
situation and insisted that the story
be put on the front page (it was).
Would the Kernel do the same in a
similar situation? It is extremely
doubtful. Yet the editorials dwell
continually on the "suppression of
facts." Rather hypocritical, isn't it?

To The Editor:
We would like to answer Carl A.
Modecki's letter.
We also believe, as Mr. Modecki
does, that there is little of major
importance wrong with America and
the American way of life. But we
don't find that the House Committee
Activities is one of
on
America's minor faults.
The statement that "no organization, private or governmental, especially the latter, should le allowed to
distort the truth as the committee
did in its movie 'Operation Abolition'" is in itself a distortion. While
there were some minor distortions in
the movie "Operation Abolition," the
major point of the movie was not
alFected. The major point of that
movie was that the student riots during the House Committee on
Activities hearings in San
Francisco were Communist inspired.
The facts that the movie put forth
that cannot be challenged are: the
committee was investigating Communist operations on the West Coast;
those persons being investigated had
long records of Communist affiliations; known Communist organizers
had preceeded the committee into
San Francisco and had been in close
association with the students of the
area; these Communist organizers
were present during the riots and
were much in evidence as "cheerleaders"; the riot was well organized;
lastly, the slogans utilized by the students have been part and parcel of
the Communist Party in America for
20 years. If these facts add up to a
"spontaneous student demonstration"
we can
that is also
only conclude that logic is dead.
We also agree with Mr. Modecki's
statements about how menacing communism is. We do notice that he
does admit that there is an internal
Communist threat, but he blames the
University faculty for not instructing him about communism. If he is
ignorant of the ways of communism,
we suggest that he read at least a
few excerpts from "Das Kapital." He
may be surprised to learn that Communists advocate the overthrow of all
governments and installing in
Communist organizations. If
he reads a little further, he will also

Answers Creeks
To The Editor:
Mr. Dietz and Mr. Keshishi.ui, in
your letter you were apparently in
somewhat of a quandry as whether to
attack me personally or my proposals.
Apparently you decided to do Ixith.
I shall attempt to deal with your
"arguments?" such as tliey are in
order of their appearance in the letter. As to your doubts on my qualifications as a judge of Board of Trustees
policy, I feel that any citizen has the
right to question any governmental
policy which he feels unfair. I did not
question the right of the loard to
make decisions concerning all male
students as a class. What I questioned
was the right to make divisions of
this class in an aibitrary and capricious manner. I hae some doubt as
to the legality of a state building
hou ;;ng in w hich it knows discriminatory entrance qualifications will
be applied. You gentlemen stated that
they were applied. I did not state
that I was unable to gain membership. What I said was that my being
a University student alone is not sufficient for admission to this housing.
You seem confused by the word "this."
The word referred to fraternity housing, which is classified as state housing for some nebulous purixise. You
suggest that I am bitter because I
have not been accepted by a Creek
letter society. I have not asked for
such acceptance.
I ask if you gentlemen are writing
to protect your favored housing situation from examination.

* THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Friday,

Rush Of Letters Floods Editor
Crilical Kernel
To The Editor:
Kernel publication this semester
has been characterized by a strong
wave of criticism, tnurh more violent than In preceding semesters,
BRalnst the University administration its policies, Its members. Its
decisions and Indecisions. The sentiment expressed In these letters
and articles has revealed a crosscurrent of thought which has been
caustic, Indignant, droll, satirical,
frequently opinionated, and Infrequently laudatory of the administration.
Criticism has been In recurrent
channels: compulsory dormitory
living and other controversial policies (e.g., a University official Is
Invested with the authority to
search a student's room without
f.peclfic purpose, such "Inspections"
usually coming during holiday
breaks); nonsensical rulings not
attendant to University housing
e g .instiuctors are forbidden to
attend student parties); the failure of the administration to realistically assess compulsory ROTC;
the nebulous policy approach to
fraternity
hazing and student
cheating; etc.
In turn the administration's reaction to this criticism has been
casually dismissive or, more often,
there has been no reaction.
Still, some of the criticism has
been distinctive: a Kernel editor
attacks the hush-hus- h
attitude the
administration pursues In its policy decisions; an English lnstruror
lampoons the lampoonable President Dickey; five coeds reveal the
fhameful disrespect the dean of
women exhibited in her decision,
necessary under existing regulations, but nefariously handled, to
evict a married woman from Boyd
Hall.
Students are Jarred from their
apathetic state by the Impact of
mch disclosures and a few members of the all too docile faculty
begin to air their views. There are
angry protests and reverbrations,
which will eventually reach such

an intensity that the University
administration can no longer afford to sit back complacently and
pooh-poo- h
campus sentiment.
Then, perhaps, President Dickey,
Dean Martin, et. al. will turk in
their respective knickers and roll
up their sleeves and begin
thorough reassessment of University policy.

Hail To King

To The Editor:
Hall King Homer, King of All
Nations and of this University;
"Divine call" has at last provided
us with a leader truly reflective
of the spirit of good old UK. King
Homer's reign will, however, necessitate a redefining of liberal alms
and a more progressive stride toward the Utopia envisioned by
Adlai Stevenson, University professors, and all us idealistic students.
Somehow during the time since
the great thinkers of the 19th century (Marx, etc.) told us what society should be like, our University
community drifted off into a misplaced emphasis on the brotherhood of man (and his perfecta-bilit- y
and innate goodness if aided

by proper governmental influence),
the harmlessness of Communist
Agents, the value of world govern-

ment, and freedom of the liberal
intellect. Our objectives, of course,
weve always Impeccable the evolution of a people's paradise (heard
that term before?) In which man,
perfected by the continual solicitude of the welfare state, reveled
In the Joys of materialism and intellectual freedom. But perhaps our
means did need redefining.
So now, King Homer, whose objectives are essentially the same,
has provided us with an even
simpler series of panaceas to cure
all the evils of society. Had our
new king coronated himself a week
earlier, he might even have saved
us from the terrors of seeing "Operation Abolition" (my liberal
mind shudders at th
