The blaze was believed to have
been started from an overheated
refrigerator motor. A janitor discovered the fire at 6:50 a.m. and a
Lexington fireman said it "must
have burred all night."
In addition to electrical appli

ances and tools, the fire damaged
about 25 square feet of flooring
and smoked the walls badly. The
room was in use again later in the
day.
E. B. Farris. chief engineer of
Maintenance and Operations, estimated the damage. He said the
building is not checked regularly

Valley." One of the most interesting books, he said, is a manuscript
of an astronomical medical caleny,
dar, prepared in Hagenau,
about 1430, which is the
only one in the United States.
There are only four similar
pieces in Europe. The book is full
of medieval medical superstition,
with occasional bits of sound
dietary advice. "It ought to have n
dedication, not to the pioneering
medieval physician, but to the
hardy medieval man who survived
the medications of his doctor," he
said.
The display also includes a London edition of Nostradamus dated
in 1672. Another book of prophecy
is the life of Mother Shipton, a
h
witch and prophetess of
in Yorkshire at the end of
the 15th century.
Two editions of Aesop's fables
will be on display also. One is an
edition published in Basel in 1492
with "unusually fine" wood engravings, Dr. Thompson said. Another, printed in London in 1665,
contains illustrations by Francis
Barlow, one of the great book illustrators of his period.

Seward's Folly
It is indeed a sad day when the seat of liberality and

We refer, of course, to the office of the dean of women.
Once again it has seen fit to summon girls who pose for
cheesecake pictures lor the Kernel, mis issue was orougm
up once before and it's time it was again.
How merely posing in shorts is going to undermine the
moral fiber of a girl who has had 0 years of Christian upbringing is beyond comprehension. If such a small thing as
this can do so, then it is quite probably past time for a
of our entire set of moral values.
Posing for such pictures has been termed "undignified and
indecent." It's rather difficult to define what standards are to
be used in measuring whether this is the case or not, but certainly the standards of the Victorian period aren't adequate
and those by which Dean Seward is measuring date back to

By Dean Seward's standards, and those of the Victorian
age, such things would be indecent or undignified. That's just
how ridiculous this thing has become.

bermuda shorts are undignified, and the
of the Sigma Chi Derby was adapted to meet the dean's standards and lost so much of it's interest that the contest may
well die.
One could understand this if the University had always
contended that these were degrading or indecent. Such is
not the case. Until Dean Seward arrived such things were
considered all right. What is right one day doesn't become
vrong the next day simply because the dean of women says so.
If this trend is allowed to continue and the gestapo-lik- e
techniques for enforcement are left unchallenged it is quite
obvious what the next step will be. The Soapbox Derby will
have to go, as will many queen contests, and eventually it
will become taboo to mention the word SEX.

the girl's sorority for that organization's comment.)

This was the second occasion on
which the Society has caused a
disturbance at the University. Previously, it Involved the fact that
the Infirmary was giving shots to
staff, faculty and employees for
the mere cost of the serum.
In neither case was it really a
matter of medical standards, but
simply an objection because the
doctors could see that cool green
cash slipping through their fingers.
Too long have we regarded doctors as near-deitit's a healthy
sign to see someone at least take
a swing back at them and jar their
pedestal.

With the immense emphasis which has been put on the
education of scientists another shortage seems to be lurking
in the shadows which may be as important, if not more so.
The shortage referred to is that of research scientists and
what has been called an "inventor." The two are closely related, but it is the latter of which we have such a drastic need
in this country. An inventor, in .this context, is one who has
creative originality aand not just someone who makes a new

It's imposible to find anything

For four years the University has
dumped loads of manure and grass
seed on a small patch of ground in
front of White Hall. For four years
students have suffered through the
stench, yet there is no gras; the
patch still resembles a bald man's
head. Perhaps it would be a good
idea to turn over the project to our

gadget.
This was brought to mind by an article by Eugene Ayres,
an inventor, scientist,; author and former, research director for
a. large petroleum company. Mr. Ayres pointed out that the
efficiency in the
steam engine, the atomic bomb, the
generation of power from heat, all came from aliens who came
to this country. Native Americans have made few contributions in this field. Even the Explorer was put up by a predominantly German crew.
Americans have a great capacity to develop ideas already
conceived, but seldom conceive any new ideas.
Mr. Ayres says, "What we need is the scholar who can escape from the grooves of accepted theoretical knowledge and
the engineer who can escape from his handbooks of formulae.
For the conception of new ideas in theory or practice wc need

YMCA Strives For

Campus Leaders
The YMCA has opened a series
of leadership workshops for fresh-

men and sophomore men. It's
hoped that through participation
in these sessions some of the boys
can be developed into campus leaders and will assume leadership upon graduation.
This project at least has a worthwhile objective. Whether it will
produce or not remains to be seen.
Regardless of the outcome, the instigators deserve some recognition
for being aware of the pressing
problem of lack of campus leadership.
One of the main problems facing
the directors of the workshop is to
produce individuals who are indeed leaders and not just titular
heads of impotent organizations.
We've had too many of these in
the past and still have for that

What are the characteristics of the inventor? "He is a nonconformist, a poor 'organization' man, and he
grudgingly. Other less obvious characteristics are that he is
inexperienced, usually under 33 years of age, and is likely to
know kss about his field of technology than many of his
co-operat- es

contemporaries."
Another point well made by Mr. Ayres is this: "Too much

conventional learning dulls the imagination, though it makes
admirable scholars and engineers."
That statement is worthy of some serious thought by both
instructors and students.
There will probably come a time when this country won't
always be so fortunate as to have inventors come here with
their ideas. When it does, we had better be prepared to carry
on on our own and if we can't, God have mercy on us.
