1928 counterpart. She also weighs about
10 pounds more.
That's the word from Dr. Wilbur A. Heinz, associate
In the UK Health Service. He recently completed a
student height and weight study based on 30 years of
UK health records.
His study shows that today the average freshman
woman stands 65.1 Inches and weighs 125.2 pounds, as
compared to a median height of 63.6 Inches and weight
of 113 pounds In 1928.
While the girls In the freshman group showed a 22
per cent gain In height, they Increased 8.8 per cent In

weight. The average height of all women students In
1928 was 65.8 Inches. Fifty per cent of them weighed
125.9 pounds or over.
UK men, too, are growing taller, showing a 3.2 per
cent Increase In average height over 1928 while 1958's
average freshman weighed 22.3 pounds more.
Dr. Heinz cited the weight Increase as "even more
significant" than the fact that almost

2. Reduction In the frequency of serious Illness dor

4. Effectiveness of health education efforts.
5. Increased knowledge and application of nutrition
along with a greater abundance and variety of foods.
6. In general, better

The report said the Increase In weight for both men
and women is not a true trend, because a good number
may be overweight. In the over-a- ll
weight picture, overeating and lack of exercise may play an Important role.

Parking Lots

Pasture-izc- d

"gravel," the parking lot surfaces are
so rugged that driving across them
causes almost as much injury to a
motorist's nerves as it docs to his new
tires.
Wc are sure that every patron of
the parking lots is thrilled with the
topography of them, but the thrill
has worn thin along with students'
tires. Since each person who registers to use the parking areas pays a
$3 fee, some of which is supposed to
be devoted to maintenance, we would
like to suggest that the University fill
in the ponds and smooth down the
gravel (?) "Badlands" before erosion
gets too firm a grip on them.

Whether by intent or accident, the
University's parking lots particularly Area R across from Donovan Hall
have added a touch of topographical
nostalgia by simulating, in miniature,
many of the areas of the Blue Grass
landscape.
Surrounding Lexington, for instance, one may find fertile pasture
land with picturesque ponds reflecting the sun's last golden rays. In the
parking lots, one finds the same type
ponds with one small scenic variation: instead of purebred cattle mooing softly, these ponds are fringed by
irate students griping loudly at the
area where they
must park.
Also surrounding Lexington one
will find outcroppings of the very
limestone that makes the land so
fertile. Reproduced on a smaller scale

To The Editor:
Your editorial yesterday referring
to the increasingly dominant role
played by women in American society

("Pop's Not Too Important") touched
upon a point that has been irking me
so much of late that I had to make
some comment about it.
You spoke of the mother's influence
in determining the child's education
and the fact that mothers are so busy
piddling around with clubby activities
that they are "tired." I agree with this,
but when you brought the "emasculated male" into the picture I think you
neglected one of the more important
points: the reason why the male has
lost his position as head of the family
in far too many cases.
Just look around you at the coeds
on campus. About 97 out of every 100
are here not to get an education, but
to latch onto a male who will provide
them bed, board and hopefully
mink. Most women are, in fact, so
um-headed
and materialistic that
they go after their little goals with a
ferocity and selfishness that defies description.
Thus the poor male, if he wants to
exhibit one of these creatures as his
"
must alter his
"own
goals to correspond with theirs. The
big urge among women is for comand, ultimately,
fort and security
Chippendale furniture and Tiffany
bracelets. This, of course, entails
money. And to get money, a male
lias to either inherit it or work like
vacu-

lovey-dove,-

a dog to make it, just so he can
hand it over to the little woman
who in turn either lavishes it on herself or on such items as will make her
appear more successful in the eyes of
the Joneses (who are trying to outstrip the Smiths, who are madly racing with the Browns).
Women, you see, control and spend
some 80 per cent of this country's
wealth. The fact that a male loses
control of the family reins is unavoidable as long as they (women) hold
the purse strings.
Since no other methods have succeeded, I would suggest one sure
cure for the current dilemma, and it
is a simple remedy: allow no women
in colleges, take away their right to
vote, don't let them hold any public
office and, in short, do anything necessary to keep them in the home,
where they belong, and out of the
male's rightful domain.
If that doesn't work, beat the blue
living hell out of them!
.

A Misogynist

The United Mine Workers have clone
much good for coal miners in Eastern
Kentucky. Before the advent of John L.
Lewis and the UMW, coal miners were
virtually at the mercy of their employthem for
ers, who grossly under-pai- d
g
labor and necessitated a
slave existence for their workvirtual
ers by "causing" them to live in companhouses and trade at company-owned
stores, not unlike the old
y-owned
Souths plantation system.
The UMW changed all that. Through
an organized effort, the employers were
forced to treat their miners humanely
if they wanted their coal dug. Living
standards went up. Hospitalization and
retirement benefits were made available
to all UMW miners.
So for a time coal was the prime
fuel for industrial and commercial use.
But, the unions kept demanding higher
wages, which, for a while, they deserved. To meet their workers' wage
demands, operators in turn raised the
price of their coal. Around and around
the cycle went, until coal was priced
out of the range of many former users.
These users exposed themselves to other
fuels, and liked them. So down went the
economy of Eastern Kentucky, an area
almost exclusively dependent on the coal
industry. Only World War II and the
Korean War prevented the decline from
coming sooner.
Now, Eastern Kentucky is one of the
few regions of the United States that
did not at least show signs of recuperating from the 1958 "recession" that hit
the country, but which was generally regarded as ended by last fall.
For an organization that historically
has professed to exist in the interest
of the working man, Lewis' UMW has

stereotype that ignorant observers hold

by the abundance of ready lu!xr and
potential natural power and resources.
But it is finite possible that this flicker
of hope for a promising future for their

by the very strike now in effect, brought
on by the United Mine Workers. For
this strike has caused violence and many
disreputable actions that could easily
scare off an industry interested in locating in the mountain area.

At present, a shaky calm hangs above
the strike scene, thanks to Gov. Chandler's mediation. But with one man already
dead, coal tipples burned and dynamited, mobs throwing workers from their
work places, and the state militia on the
alert, it makes the prediction of a nineteenth century philosopher seem start-ling- ly
clear. Who was it that Taid the
working class will one day lise up and
violently overthrow its labor "oppressors?" Some fellow named Marx, I believe.

Heidenrcich said, "At least an
average of 750 cars an hour must
make approaches from all angles
before a traffic light can be installed. The city conducted a traffic survey Tuesday and only 500
approaches were made hourly."
The survey was taken between
7 a. m. and 6 p. m. when traffic is
generally considered heaviest.
Heidenreich said, "We recognize
there have been numerous accidents at this intersection, but most
of these have resulted from inattention on the driver's part. In
most cases cars failed to stop com
ing from the Woodland side."
He said the new lights will-giv- e
drivers more of a target value and
the hope that drivers will observe
the signals more than they have
in the past. "The former caution
light apparently was not doing the
trick," he said.
Heidenreich said, "The new signal is unique and installation of
such a light is rare, but I feel it
will improve traffic conditions at
the intersection."
The signal includes two flashing
amber lights facing Woodland
traffic and a douDie red flashing
signal facing Woodland traffic.
