.L, I'- Q l rGoing togther at UK means many thingseit means re- linquishing your fraternity pin, or your ring, or just the free dom to date someone else. It means going to parties, to dances; studying together and taking an occasional afternoon off to drink beer and talk. It means meeting on campus for 0 minute between Classes and telephoning at odd hours just because I wanted to talk to you; it is the security of always being assured of 0 date, and of feeling wanted. But it is more than this for some. Going together brings the closeness with someone to talk to of the things that would bring sarcastic jeers in a bull session . . . it is someone to listen to . t t someone with whom to withdraw from the cynie ism . t . someone who can erase all the discppoinment ot flunking a test . .

Strangely enough the same group provides almost all the leadership on campus and consistently sustains an academic standard well above the Unlverswty average, But these are, as we said, m a relatively small minority. What happens to the other 5,000 members of the student body after dark? For the most part they disappear. Canvas. Fayette County from the dives on the George town Road to the Campbell House and you Wlll find only the party crowd wlth a few fringe hangerons. Ot course, one-fourth of the student body is married, and there are many suitcase students who are headed home for the weekend every Friday afternoon. The rest must return to their rooms at night, but if so the records should not show so many on probation. At any rate, we are glvmg up the search, but we feel that these pages should be dedicated to themeto the lost students of UK. l. AYEN w CLF Mt. N COCKTAILS l
