Student Organization and Social Activities Committee, Room

The University's Hoard of Trustees deferred taking action
on a j)iox)cd 425 acre research site on UK's Spiiulletop Farm
at its meeting yesterday.
There will have to be cooperation

Establishment of the site on the
e
farm had been approved
by the Board of Directors of the
Kentucky Research Foundation
and was submitted to the trustees
for approval.
The KRF Board' announcement
said 75 acres of the site on the
west side cf the farm will be purchased by the state for the Spln-dletResearch Institute, a facility to be used by the University.
The research board will hold the
remaining 350 acres to be sold to
private industry for laboratory sites
to be developed into the Spindle-to- p
Industrial Research Park. The
Spindletop Mansion and grounds
are not included in the acreage.
After much discussion of the proposal, the trustees decided it would
be unwise to take immediate action
on it because it is a complicated
project that involves many phases
of the I'niversity's operations.
The board voted to study the
matter further and to consult
other interested groups) and delay
voting on approval of the proposal
until it has been thoroughly

President Frank G. Dickey said
a meeting may be called on Jun
24 to vote on a minor matter and

the research proposal could te dis
cussed again at that meeting.
Most of the discussion on the
proposal dealt with the possibility
of conflict between an industrial
research center and an agricultural
research center if both are established at the University.
Gov. Bert T. Combs, chairman,
reminded the board that the 19C0
State Legislature appropriated one
million dollars for an agricultural
center at UK. He stressed that the
Spindletop project shouldn't be allowed to interfere with the University's obligations to agriculture.

Dr. Dickey said the funds needed to establish the research institute are not included In the appropriations to UK made by the
19G0 legislature. He added, however, that the state will rive $1,177-00- 0
to begin developing it.
Gov. Combs said the state has
made $1,327,000 available for such
research projects and the Spindletop project could use it.
The cost of operating the Spindletop Research Institute will be

second year, and $75,000 the third

University's academic schedule is
about as difficult as moving a cemetery, President Frank G. Dickey's decision to have the Committee of 15
study the trimester plan further is a
vise one.
Because of this difficulty, the
Faculty's Committee on Schedules asserted that there is no cogent reason
at present for adopting such a plan,
although five or 10 years might possibly warrant a change.
When we first advocated that UK
adopt a trimester plan as the University of Pittsburgh's, we did not
expect an immediate changeover, but
rather a comprehensive study just as
Dr. Dickey has ordered.
The drawbacks listed by the Faculty committee are sensible and practical, to be sure. Scheduling of courses,
appointments and leaves, classification, athletic events, and plant maintenance, for example, will have to be
worked out before a trimester plan
could be adopted.

JUit the advantages of the system
are just as sensible and practical.

What reason is there for students
having six months of vacation during
a year? Education should be a continuous process and not "staggered
with eriods of rest which tend to
dull the student and make him wish
for more vacation time.
We do not think, as the Faculty
committee suggested, that the quality
of instruction at UK will be hampered by a trimester system at the sacrifice of plant efficiency and economy. It may well be, in fact, that the
quality of instruction here will be
improved by a trimester plan.
The Committee of 15 will have
as much time as needed to study the
trimester proposal, to gather information, and then make the recommendation, either pro or con, to the University.

For the sake of education, we hope
the recommendation is favorable for
the system.

UK's Marriage Mill
In spring young men's fancies allegedly turn to romance and young
ladies begin looking forward with
misty eyes and eager hearts to June
the month of brides.
America's coeducational colleges
and universities have often been denounced as marriage mills for females
unfortunate or intelligent enough not
to marry a high school sweetheart.
It has been often claimed that an
amazingly high number of women
enter college with the expressed hope
of catching a husband. Polls taken
here and elsewhere have shown such
claims to be true.
During the past month we have
noticed increased romantic activity
as the female of the species spreads
her snares and waits for a happy

June wedding to fall in. The more
than 50 percent of UK coeds who are
admittedly looking for a husband are
apparently having little success as last
Friday's Kernel listed only one each
in the pinned, engaged, and married
columns.
Being familiar with the determination of womanhood when the sound
of wedding bells can be heard in the
distance, we are sure the hunt will
be renewed with increased vigor in
this last week of the semester. Particularly busy will be the unengaged,
unwed senior, women who have to
work very fast indeed to catch their
men.
After all, what could be worse
than to go home to mom and dad
with only an education to show for
four years of college?

The Readers' Forum
The Pseudonym

To The Editor:

It is unfortunate when someone
thinks he has something to say that
is significant enough to take up editorial page space, yet hides behind
a cloak of anonymy.
"Scholarship student" apparently
thought he had something significant
to say, yet hid behind a pseudonym.
I am glad "scholarship student"
is so full of bubbling praise for the
Little Kentucky Derby weekend and
sorry to see that, in spite of constitutional safeguards of free sjeeeh, he
has not conviction enough to stand
behind it by ermitting his name to
be attached to it.
Sjeak up, "scholarship student,"
no one will bite you if you are right.
If you are wrong, you do not have
any business wasting everyone's time
with vour platitudinous drivel.

have been moved up or down the
stream by "recent" faulting?

Student's View

What The Library Should Be
By GEORGE SMITH

Because the state was generous
with its appropriation to the University, one of the big projects here
during the next two or three years
will be the construction of an addition to the Margaret I. King Library.
What should the new library have
in the way of new facilities anil services?

Opinions as to what the library
addition should be are varied, but
there are definite areas which planners should consider in providing
better library service to the University.
Now there are files which are inaccessible, jkk)T lighting (take the
Browsing Room, for example), decrepit dictionaries, stuffy rtxims, anil
no place for students to lounge during breaks.
In the new addition, there should
be more room for compilation and
addition of new books, files, and
records. This extra space should oiler
relief since the library presently is
packed tight with books, files, and
records.
Since scholars now loaf on the
steps of the lobby, clutter the entrance, and litter the lloor, a new
lounge lor students would be a sensible addition. It should be scheduled
horn study areas and should have
Lie ili ties for soft chinks.
There should be free access to
files, such as those of newspapers on
microfilm, back copies of magazines,
and other needed materials needed
for research and term papers. A suitable method of safeguarding files
could be devised if this is adopted.
Now, these files are only accessible
after 5 p.m. on weekdays and all day
Sunday.
Planners would do well to con

sider a typing room for construction.
Many students tan transcribe notes
and research much faster and elfici-entl- y
with a tyjKrwritcr. Better lighting is a must.
An extension on the numljer of
hours a student may have lxoks from
the Reading Room should le adopted. A bit of leniency of an hour or
so would relieve some of the animosity arising from students who
have to hae in lxoks at 'J a.m. sharp.
The University has been severely
h.imjxrcd with its present library
space and facilities for several vears.
But with the new addition and with
wise planning, UK could have one
of the best university libraries in the
South il it is willing to change many
