The infirmary in the Health
building will now operate a
service. Dr. J. S. Chambers,
director of the University health
service, has announced.
A nurse will be on duty at all
times, and a night bell at the front
door of the Health building may,
be used to gain admittance at any
hour when the health service is
not operating.
Although this service was established primarily with the aim of
caring for the soldiers on the campus, the health service desires that
all students make use of it when
necessary. Dr. Chambers said.

Union board is sponsoring a
drive to urge students to share
their papers.

To Give Talk
On Monday

25, over 200 volunteer workers have
personally contacted every student,
as well as the campus organizations.
The University faculty and staff
members continued the record -breaking by turning in $7,221.80 at
the end of their part of the drive
on Thursday. Comptroller Frank
D. Peterson, chairman of this division, has been confident that the
goal of $6,600 would be reached.
In spite of wartime conditions
and a student body almost half its
normal size, this is the largest
amount the University has contributed In history.
Largest contribution by a single
unit was made by Jewell hall. Under chairman Martha Cockrell, the
residents donated $112.80.
Highest sorority total was that of

Before the war there was already an alarming number of resignations from the staff
who had received belter offers elsewhere.
These offers will be very attractive to staff members now on leave when they return from wartime jobs to a I'niversitv stilj in the grasp of
an archaic restriction hampering it from offering adequate remuneration for services given.
A few faithful men. some nationally known as
authorities in their fields, will remain here because of a love of the University environment
and the citv of Ixington. We fear that they

It has been estimaicd that the purchasing
price of the dollar is approximately one-hal- f
todav what it was in 1891 when the SVOfW per
year limitation was written into the constitution. Prices 'continue to go up and taxes take
a considerable part of the income. The salarv
of the I'niversitv staff member remains the slime.
With the defeat of the amendment last week,
it is seen as unlikely tTiat it will have another
opportunity lor passage until 1947. We believe
that the voters of Kentucky have made a mistake, but hope that they will not lie forced to
realize it bv finding their state University sinking in the estimation of national educators In
the years to come.

Workers Send Goal
Of War Chest Over Top
Our congratulations to Algernon Ditkson,
chairman of the War Chest drive, and the 200
workers who sent the campus goal of $700
the top to reach an unprecedented total
of over $1,000. The students cooperaied wholeheartedly in their contributions.
A sjx'cial note of thanks goes to the military
siudents who contributed generously although
their furloughs were but a few davs awav.
The success of the faculty drive is to be esje-ciallappreciated when one realizes that a l.
cent higher goal than that of last year was
kt
attained although the number of staff members
has declined appreciably.

Dan Cupid must have swapped
his wings for a Jeep and his magical bow and arrow for an equally
potent Browning Automatic Rifle,
if the effectiveness with which he
has decimated the roster of single
men in the GI ranks is any indication.
It never fails but what, after a
furlough, the door of the company
orderly room, the first sergeant's
sanctum, is beseiged by a line of
GIs, some with the first bashful
glow of marital bliss still lighting
their cheeks, others with the still
hopeful lord - and - master - of -- the -household look in their eyes, but all
with one purpose: to apply for a
wage cut, that
a month family allotment
which Uncle Sam generously grants,
but partially out of the GIs pay
envelope.

Consider the case of Campus
Cutie asking GI Joe for a date, unsuspecting the meanwhile that his
bride is right behind
her. Already several campus
have been seen wandering around
with a dazed look in their eye (intentionally singular), the second
of the pair of optics being swathed
in bandages. Nuff said!
IK Spirit. Please
It is to be fondly desired, however,

co-e- ds

campus friends alike.
To you GIs who took the plunge,
good luck, and may the experience
make you better soldiers with more
to fight for. To the rest, easy on
the ribbing; of course it's
good-nature- d,

but by the fundamental
laws of nature it's bound to bounce
back at you. someday.
As for Cupid, after the whirlwind offensive he put on, he'd better turn his jeep and his B A R in
that the good spirit continue at to the Ordnance Shops for first
UK, and that the newcomers to the echelon overhaul and repairs. After
collective fold be greeted and wel- all, next furlough is only three
comed by barracks buddies and months away. . . .

Vital Information
To cite the exact number of men
from each company in UK's ASTP
who took the nuptial vows would
probably be a betrayal of vital information to the enemy. Suffice it
to illustrate, however, with this in-

cident:

A harried T 5 pointed to a
batch of papers which had already been turned in by newly-we- d
GI s in a matter of a few hours on
the first "morning after," and muttered in a weary voice, Go away.

Well! What Do You Know?
The alarm clock situation in the
nation is admittedly bad these days,
but at Gustavus Adolphus College
in St. Peter. Minn., it was more
than critical for one coed. After
tinkering with the noisy old thing
it still refused to run, so, she toted
it down to the local jeweler. Imagine her surprise (and embarrassment) when the jeweler asked her
if she had ever tried winding it,
and, with a simple twist of tne
wrist, the timepiece started in ticking again.
He Needs A Raise
