Ever wonder Just who persecutes

the animals

Dr. Richard S. Allen, head of the Anatomy and
rhysiology Department, referred investigators to Mr.
V. L. Gilliland, caretaker of the animals.
Mr. Oilliland has an office on the sixth floor of
the building where most animals are housed.
In Ihe main room where most of the animals are
kept, Mr. Gilliland poinlrd cut his favorite, Honey
Hear, a South American tree sloth which was asleep
In a burlap sack.
"He UMially Is pnd natured." Mr. Oilliland said.
"In ffcef. I cltcn lake him home with me where he
sleeps side by side with my dog."

i

The large roof also houses a Yankee pigeon that's
not a species. Actually the bird flew south from
New York, was injured, and has remained here
since then.
Hob, an alligator, lives In a rage Just below the
feathered Northerner.
Mr. Oilliland expressed the fear that Bob was
suffering from a head cold or flu. Bob's sister Jenny
died one winter and her skeleton rests on an outside window ledge.
Other cages confined a large family of hamsters,
kancaioo-lik- e
mice that sit on the hind legs and
wave their forelegs in wild hysteria, an opossum, and
two
cats.

At UK For Spring Term

JPv'

UK's total enrollment, including
centers, for this semester reached 8,915. according to
figures released yesterday by Dr.
Charles F. Elton, dean of admissions and registrar.
This is an increase of 302 over
the spring semester of 1959.
The overall increase came despite
a slight drop in campus enrollment from 6.640 last spring to
this semester.
Enrollment figures include cam
pus residents, organized extension
classes, evening classes, and centers at Ashland, Covington, and
Fort Knox.
Evening classes,
centers, and organized extension class- es all showed increases over the
same period in 1959.

635 in extension classes.
At the centers. 285 students are
enrolled at Ashland. 382 at Covington, and 305 at
rt Knox.
The 8,915 figure does not include
some 2,700 students enrolled in college correspondence courses or 245
enrolled in noncredit college extension courses.
A total of 10.133 students, including the
centers, an
tim record, enrolled last fall.
Dr. Elton said the 1,218 decrease
in the spring enrollment was a
normal drop for a spring term.
An enrollment of at least 15,- 000 has been predicted by UK of- ficials by 1935 if the institution can
keep pace by providing facilities
and an expanded faculty.

* A Diplomatic Move
The Patterson School of Diplomacy, one of five such schools in the
United States, today is celebrating its
founders' day; and a major feature
of its day will be a policy speech
on Africa by the assistant secretary
of state,' Francis O. Wilcox.
It is seldom that a university is
given the opportunity to hear a significant policy speech on an interg
national subject by a
governmental official; the speech will
be given nationwide coverage by the
press services and newspapers.
The attraction of Mr. Wilcox here
attests to the prestige the UK school
has nationally and bespeaks the respect given Dr. Amry Vandenbosch,
director of the school. Although the
high-rankin-

Patterson School had an almost unnoticed beginning, it is now flourishing on the reputation of Dr. Vandenbosch and on a competent staff.
It would indeed be unfortunate if
the UK community did not support
the schools effort in obtaining a national figure for a major policy address in the Guignol Theatre. Mr.
Wilcox's address will be one of the
most enlightening at UK this year
and could be the most important one.
Never before has a national governmental official given a major
policy speech at UK. We think attendance of the meeting would be
worthwhile not only to the Patterson School of Diplomacy and the
University, but to the individual.

A Holiday, At Last
"We want a holiday!"
Sound familiar? This small phrase
was used as a "riot slogan" by UK
students last November in their demand for an extra holiday due to
Kentucky's football victory over Tennessee.

One of the principal reasons they
gave for such a demand was to alleviate some of the danger of holiday
traffic on their homeward trek.
In whatever sincerity the students
made this request, it will be satisfied
to a great extent for next year's
Thanksgiving vacation, because of a
motion approved recently by University Faculty granting students an
dismissal.
extra half-da- y
The ruling will allow students to
leave the campus on Wednesday noon

before Thanksgiving. This will enable
most students to either reach home
or be well on their way before nightfall.
The Faculty, by its approval of
the motion, is not backing down or
giving in to students in hopes of
squelching a future performance of
this year's riot. It, instead, made a
sensible move.
The Faculty's decision seems
prompted by consideration of the
student's safety, and it should be
commended for this.
