largest.
Anotlirr hrrbnrium at the University is located in the Horticulture Department. It is a smaller herbarium nnd is used mainly
lor Dr. James Herron's research in
weed control. Dr. Ilerron is an
nssociate professor of horticulture.
The Botany Department's herbarium has over 20.000 specimens of
plants. It receives the plants in
various ways.
Plants are exchanged with many
and universities in the

United States and foreign countries. By this exchange they ran
obtain new plants for their collection. Last week the herbarium
received 400 plants from England,
300 from the University of North
Carolina, and 147 from Harvard
University.
Although they receive many

specimens by exchange the herbarium tries to rely on the collections by Dr. Browne and other
members of the department.
Sometimes students in the Botany
Department go on field trips and
collect plants for the herbarium
from different sections of the
state.
Dr. Browre is now working on
a monograph of the "Liliaceae" or
the lily famliy. In his research he
will try to find all the different
species of this plant in the state
and regions where they are located.
"Kentucky is so poorly known
botanically, that a great deal of
field work will be required for my
research," Dr. Browne said.
He wiii
go to Louisville,
Cincinnati, and Washington to
collect more information about
this species from other herbariums.
His work is sponsored by a grant
from the University Faculty Research Committee.
The main objective of the herbarium Is to collect as many of the
unknown Kentucky plants as possible. About 4,000 species of plants
occur in Kentucky, but only about
2.000 of these have been reported
or collected.
Dr. Browne stated that "Kentucky Is a border state as far as
botany is concerned. Records are
available about plants in the
northern states and about plants

in the southern states other than
Kentucky, but no one has taken
rnotigh interest to completely explore and record the plants of
Kent iu ky."
Many people over the state find
plants that they have never seen
before and send them to Dr.
Browne for identification.
He said that a botanist can keep
only about 1500 names of plants in
his mind and sometimes they have
tiouble identifying a plant. The
names they have to remember are
not the common names, but the
two scientific names for each
plant.
Dr. Browne added. "When we
have trouble identifying a plant.
its name and description can usu- ally be found in a plant index.
Sometimes people send in a plant
that we don't have In the herbarium, so we add it to the collection."
The herbarium is also used for
research work by the faculty and
graduate students. One student is
now working on the plants in
Mammoth Cave National Park
and by using the local herbarium
he ran Identify many plants that
he will collect.
To prepare the plants for filing,
they are pressed flat, dryed, dipped in a poison solution, and dryed again. They are then placed on
sheets of mounting paper, numbered, put in a folder, and filed.

Poison is also kept in the filing?
cabinets to keep Insects from eating the plants. By using this
method of preserving the plants
many of those collected in 1830 are
stiil in good condition.
The old herbarium, which was
located In Norwood Hall near the
Margaret I. King Library, was destroyed when the building burned
in November, 1!H8. Dr. It. It.
started the process of collecting new specimens for a new
herbarium immediately after the
fire.
When he retired In 1937, Dr.
Dale Smith continued the work.
Dr. Smith recently went to the
University of Illinois and Dr.
Browne took over the work last
September.
Dr. Browne came to UK from
the University or Georgia. He received his Ph.D. in 1957 from the
University of North Carolina.

Campus Cheating

Report Is Called For

Trior to the fall semester of 1959,
students at UCLA who were caught
cheating received a disciplinary grade
of "F" for the course and received a
reprimand from the college administration.
But in that one semester, an assistant professor of English, after an
extensive study of term papers submitted in one of his classes, found 10
students guilty of plagiarism.
In an attempt to curb the plagiarism problem, a joint meeting was
called of the UCLA Student Judicial
Board and the Faculty Committee on
Student Conduct.
The term "plagiarism" was expanded to embrace forms of cheating
on examinations and the two groups
stated
jointly published an
ment of future policy toward student
cheating.
This is part of the UCLA statement:
"Cheating on examinations, like
plagiarism, is an abrogation of a student's responsibility to his fellow students as well as to the whole aca
800-wor-

demic community: it follows that the
appropriate penalty is dismissal."
Not encouraging are the results
of a January poll on cheating conducted by the Record, student publication of Ahrens Trade High School in
Louisville, in which 90 percent of the
620 students polled admitted
to
cheating. During the next three years,
many of these students or others like
them will enter Kentucky colleges.
A college education could easily become a farce if these students continue in the cheating they perfected
in high school.
Last semester, a University Faculty committee on cheating was appointed. We feel that some report on
their findings is warranted.
Does cheating exist here? If so,
to what extent and what are the
main trouble spots on the campus?
What disciplinary action is meted out
to students who cross the border into
academic illegality?
After four months, the committee
on cheating must have unearthed
some facts on a topic that requires
immediate and constant
attention.
We would like to know those facts.

WASHINGTON (AP)
Vice
President Lyndon B. Johnson is well
on his way to becoming Washington's second busiest man.
If nobody rivals President Kennedy in the extent of his activities,
Johnson perhaps comes closest.
And all of this is being done with
a soft pedal striking in comparison
with the fanfare which marked much
of Johnson's seven years as majority
leader of the Senate.
Foreign as it might seem to his
nature, Johnson wants it that way.
Since he took office nearly two
months ago, the vice president has
avoided the limelight. He is seen at
social gatherings, accompanied by
Mrs. Johnson, but in his working
hours he has withdrawn from the
public eye.
Unaccustomed as he has been to
taking a back seat to anybody, Johnson feels he owes it to Kennedy to
keep behind the scenes at this point.
The vice president is not insensitive to the fact that he was a big man
when Kennedy was a back row senator. If he can help it, Johnson is not
going to furnish any basis for speculation that he is trying to throw
his weight around in a way that
would embarrass the President.
Kennedy seems well aware of this
feeling and has gone out of his way
to bring Johnson into top level conferences.
The President has a habit at these
conferences of saying, "Vice Presi-deJohnson and I think. . . ." The
result has been a rapport between
the two men that goes far beyond that

To The Editor:
Imaginatively picture this scene.

where in formation your section

you are served a skimpy fare of dry
bread and eggs that look as if they
had been fried over the smoldering
remains of the Chicago Fire.
You are not forced to do this by
an enactment of Congress, you are
not compelled by an autocratic regime. No you're an American college student in the heart of the Blue
