and Dean Willard all praised Gov.
Chandler for being the "driving
force" in making the concept of
a UK medical center a reality.
.
Others were commended for
their parts in obtaining the center,
but one was especially lauded. He
is Dr. John S. Chambers of the
UK Department of Hygiene and
Public Health.
In 1928. Dr. Frank L.' McVey.
then president of UK, asked
Dr. Chambers to keep him informed of the need of medical
education in Kentucky and the
possibility of establishing a University medical school.
"The time will come," said Dr.
McVey, "when we will need the
data. We must be ready."
Dr. Chambers did keep the University informed, and his endeavors kept hopes for the establishment of the center alive through
some difficult times.
"Dr. Chambers was tha first
person I ever heard mention a
UK medical center," said Gov,
Combs Friday. "That was back in
the 30s when I was a student at
the University."
Dean Willard praised Dr. Chamber's efforts for the center "during long, lean, and lonely years."
The dedication activities began
Friday morning when medical students guided visitors on tours
through the center, and newsmen met with Dean Willard and
several center administrators and
faculty members.

said they "could take care of every single student if they
would come to Room 218 in McVey Hall."
Ward said the department would even open new
sections if needed.
Dr. Lyman Oinger, dean of the Education College,
said the registration problem was "a conglomeration of
. everything."
He said it "was far worse than anything I've experienced in my 15 years here."
He pointed out some students taking 18 hours
of electives, unable to get their required courses. According to Dr. dinger the system of registering is too much
proposition."
of a
He added that one of the problems was that a lot
of students who registered last year did not return to
school and some classes that were reported full actually
have as many as 12 vacancies.
He said he had gone to every room three different
times yesterday and found many vacancies in classes that
were supposed to be full. '
Asked If he thought the system would be changed,
Oinger said, "Gosh, I hope so."

* A Great University
With the formal dedication Friday
of the University Medical Center and
the admission of the first classes of
the Colleges of Medicine and Nursing, the University firmly established
itself as the center of Kentucky's
health programs and reaffirmed its
claim to the position at the top of the
state's educational ladder.
More significant in many ways
than the Medical Center's prestige in
Kentucky, however, is the growing
national reputation of the infant
center. In only four years, staff
members have been awarded over
$500,000 in grants for research an
integral part of any medical instruction program and one of the principal
measures of a medical school's excellence. The Medical Center Library
in three years has acquired 50,000
volumes, the median figure for American medical libraries, and is rated as
one of the finest in the South.
What was only an optimistic
dream in June, 1954, when the University Board of Trustees established
a College of Medicine with no faculty, buildings, or money to provide
them has become a 27 million-dolla- r
0
showplace that will have
staff members and
students and 1,500
employees when fully activated.
The driving motives behind the
phenomenal growth of this center
which existed only on paper four
years ago have been its six objectives:
1. To train more health personnel
for Kentucky.
2. To provide more educational
opportunities for the state's youth.
1,100-1,30-

3. To provide postgraduate med-

ical education for all people working
in health fields.
4- - To perform medical research.
5. To provide some medical care
for indigent persons.
6. To provide better quality medical care for all people of the state.
Working with these aims always
in mind, Dr. William R. Willard,
vice president for the Medical Center
and dean of the College of Medicine,
has gathered about him from all parts
of the nation a staff of outstanding
medical administrators and instructors that will help assure the center's
success in realizing its objectives.
Dr. Willard and his staff will not
cease their planning when the center's
400-be- d
hospital is completed and the
center is in full operation. They are
already looking toward the 1970s
when the first classes of the College
of Medicine will begin practicing and
the Medical Center's great value to
the University, state, and nation is
realized. Their planning is not visionary, for although we have not yet
seen the realization of their present
aims, we need Only look at the almost
unbelievable advances of the center
in the past few years to visualize
its future growth.
We congratulate Dr. Willard and
his staff for the excellent job they
have done in carrying out the most
difficult task ever undertaken at the
University and express our own pride
in their accomplishments. Friday was
the day when the University ceased
being a "good" state university and
became a great one.

A Welcome

Wanted: Cheaper Books
That a college education costs
money will be acknowledged by any
University student. That the high
cost of higher education is an inevitable evil of the academic world
will be admitted by almost all students.
g
exYet, while such
penses as tuition, room, and board
are accepted with a minimum of
grumbling, the prohibitive prices of
text books especially used texts is a
constant source of irritation and a
favorite topic of conversation among
students.
The book stores' practice of offering 50 percent of tin new price for
used texts; then offering iSem for sale
again at 75 percent of the original
price is cussed and discussed not only
here, but at campuses all over the
country. Like the weather, however,
although everyone talks about it, no
one does anything about it but not
so at the University of Pittsburgh.
There the student government association has set up a cooperative
student book excliange. The exchange works like this;
Students with books to sell take
them to the exchange headquarters
where they write their names and the
prices desired for the texts inside
the covers. Other students- wishing
to buy books merely make their
ever-risin-

-

choices and pay the requested
handling fee
amounts plus a
to the student government representative.
Those selling books return at the
end of the week to pick uj their
money or their unsold books. No one
loses anything since student government keeps only enough of the
fees to pay expenses and then
uses the balance to support some student activity such as a campus Christmas dance.
Although the Pittsburgh book exchange was limited to liberal arts
texts, the exchange was highly successful for a first attempt and expansion of the program is anticipated.
We see no reason why such an
exchange program could not work
here if it were properly administered.
Student organizations have attempted
such programs in the past. Their attempts were unsuccessful, . not because the plan itself was unsound, but
because such a plan must be administered by a campuswide group.
Student Congress is such an organization and its sponsorship of a
student book exchange would be
beneficial to both students and the
congress itself.
It could also be a panacea for
those who have taken a severe beating, in the used book market.

From President Dickey
Through the pages of the Kernel
I should like to take this opportunity
to extend a most cordial welcome
to all of the Students of the University
of Kentucky. Perhaps never before
history of this instiin the
tution have we had a finer group of
students at every level. We are
pleased to extend greetings
to the first classes in the Colleges of
Medicine and Nursing.
The University is growing and
expanding in many ways, and newcomers may, at first, be somewhat
overawed by the size and complexity
of our institution. I am certain, however, that you will find that the human
element is never lacking.' In the
democracy of our university community, each is as important as the
other.

One tremendous task looms large
before us if we are to continue to
move forward as a major university.
It is essential for the welfare of this
institution that the limited constitutional revision question to Ixj approved at the polls on Nov. 8. If you

New Kernel Policy
Mark Twain's observation that "it
is difference of opinion that makes
horse races'" is equally true of newspapers'.

,

We welcome your letters to the
editor and shall publish them as our
space permits. There are, however,
several requirements letters must
meet:
All letters must be in good taste
and contain no libelous or false statements.
No unsigned letters will be accepted, nor will we withhold names.
This departure from past policy has
been made necessary by abuses of
the Headers' Forum which have
taken place. In another departure
from past policy, we shall only accept
One letter a week on the same subject from a writer.
All letters must le 300 words or
less in length. Letters longer tlian

500 words will be returned to the

writer for condensation. Writers will
also find that shorter letters will receive prompter attention. Wo reserve the right to edit letters to fit
our space.
We also request that letters lie
typewritten or legibly printed in ink
on
paper.
Subjects too long to be treated
d
within the
limit of the Headers' Forum may be submitted to the
University Soapbox, a column devoted to longer essays on topics of
interest to the University populace.
Hoth the Headers' Forum and the
University Soapbox are open to students and faculty members. We
want to hear from you, even if (or
especially if) you disagree with us'.
Hemember Twain's words and do
not hesitate to write us. It is your
newspaper, too, make use of .it.

The hospital will also accept referrals from

agencies.

Dean Willard said the University Health Service la
ixpected to be moved from the main campus to the
center early in 1962. He said students will be treated by
he center's .staff, not by medical students.
A major aim' of the center is to provide doctors for
Kentucky's needy rural' areas.
Dean Willard said that to encourage the center'1'
graduates to practice in rural areas, its students will be
told of the state's medical problems and given some
undergraduate experience in "a rural setting."
As for research, an important part of the center's
activities, Dean Willard said the center is adequately
equipped for research and will soon have enough equipneeds.

tlie federal eovernmi lit to help buy research equipment, lid noted that the tenter has received more than
S.iOO.dOO
worth of research rants and that work has
beyun on most of the projects.
The Medical College dean said the. total amount
of federal aid to the center has been about 10 million
dollars and that the state has supplied about 17 million.
Mrs. Lucile Fetry Leone, assistant surgeon general,
I'. S. Public Health Service, spoke at a Friday luncheon
honoring the College of Nursing and its first class.
Marcia A. Dake. dean of the college, said it will

Dean Willard said the center's academic fctaff will
have at least 450 members, but that it is "quite a variable
figure." Fifty persons are on the faculty now.
It is likely that patients will come to the hospital from
all over the state, said Mr. Wittrup. Admission Mill be by

in that the College of Nursing is opening along with
of Medicine. She said a nursing college is usually
subordinated to a medical school.
A brief formal dedication ceremony was held behind
the Medical Sciences Building at 4 p.m. Friday.

Gov. Combs dedicated the center "to the education of
Kentucky youth, to the discovery, preservation, transmission, and application of new knowledge, and to the
service of the people of this Commonwealth."
Tlie two-da- y
activities concluded Saturday morning
with .the dedication of the Medical Center Library.
The library, directed by Alfred N. Brandon, has already accumulated 50,000 volumes.
"It is hard to believe that this collection has been
accumulated in 36 months," said Robert T! Lentz, president of the Medical Library Association, one of the
two speakers at the ceremony.
He explained that 50,000 is the median figure for the
number of volumes in established medical libraries.
"We therefore salute the Medical Center Library of
lTK as the typical medical school library in our country,"
said Lentz.

"This library, although it is the newest," he continued,
"stands at the midpoint as far as the size of Us colof the
lection is conterned. It is exceeded by one-ha- lf
of our
libraries, yet it is already larger than one-ha- lf
libraries."
He said the library is fortunate in having adequate
space, "the crying need of practically every medical
library," and in being located conveniently in the middle
of the Medical Center.
