UK

By ED VAN HOOK
Would you like to see the marriage license of Abraham Lincoln and Lexington's Mary Todd today, the
151st birthday anniversary of Mr. Lincoln? You need
not leave the campus If you are so inclined.
Oo to the Margaret I. King Library, climb to the top
floor to the UK Archives Department and ask to be
shown the document and soon you will be 'examining
a framed paper, under glass, which salutes you:
"Know ye, that Licence and Permission has been granted to any Minister of the Gospel . . and ends by authorizing the "marriage of Abraham Lincoln and Mary
Todd."
The document in the UK Archives Is something of
a prize Kince it is an authorized and contemporary copy
Issued sometime during the 1840's at the time of the
settlement of the estate of Mary Todd's father.
On the tack of the UK copy is a letter from W. II.
Herndon. one of Lincoln's early law partners. The letter,
date,d Aug. 17. 1886, explains that the certificate was
found amrng Herndon's collection of old Lincoln papers.

The certificate was presented to Herndon by Adam
Grlgsby In 1866. Grlgsby was a companion and old
friend of Lincoln's.
Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd were married in
Sangamon County, Springield, 111., on Nov. 4. 1842, according to the document.
Also to be seen in the Lincoln papers In the Archives
is a letter written by H. Robinson, governor of Kentucky, and dated March, 1863.
The letter introduces a Mr. Edward S. Theobald to
M
President Lincoln
as the governor's personal agent
and, attorney for settling claims with the U.S. government."
An original signature by Lincoln, dated March 19,
1863, is preserved on an envelope, which Lincoln used
to refer Theobald to Secretary of War, Edward M. Stanton.
Stanton, on the same envelope, refers Theobald to a
Brig. Gen. Ketchum. The envelope also bears the signature of Secretary Stanton.
The Lincoln remained In Springfield, 111., until 1861,

when he went to Washington as President of the United
States.
Four boys were born to Abe and Mary and only Robert
Todd Lincoln lived to maturity. Robert died on July 26,
1926, after having lived a life filled with his own political
ventures. He once served as secretary of war and also as
minister to England.
The Lincoln family story Is filled with tragedy. One
son, Willie, died in 1862 while the family lived in the
White House. President Lincoln was assassinated by
John Wilkes Booth in 1865 Just after the close of the
Civil War, and Tad (Thomas) Lincoln, another son
died in 1871.
Apparently all this was too much for the president'
widow, for a certain mental instability soon became
more pronounced. She was adjudged Insane and spent
some months In a private sanitarium at Batavia, 111.,

Anyhow, Mr. Vs insistence on

Using a three-colprocess would
have been cheaper, but would have

said.
The staff is anticipating color
as a major aspect of the yearbook
from now on, according to editor-in-chiDonna Lawson.
The six pages in color wiil feature six campus scenes, two of
Ilerrington Lake, three of Lexington horse farms, three state park
scenes, and one of Keeneland race

seasons.

"The reason for using color," explains Terry Ashley, faculty advisor, "is that it makes the yearbook more attractive in the first
place, and we're trying to keep up
with the trend of other colleges
and universities."
The University of Colorado uses
about sixteen pages of color, Auburn uses eight pages of water-colpictures, and Indiana University has about ten pictures in

should be ready for distribution
around May 15.
This year's staff consists of 22

"Although all the positions are

continued.

* New Hope For SC
Student Congress is reorganizing.
It is revising its constitution. It will
spend the greater part of the semester
regaining its prestige.
SG is rising to its feet after the
political earthquake last spring bereft
it of virtually all authority and stability. It is making a recognizable attempt to reassert itself.
In revising its constitution, the
congress plans to make student government more representative, to give
students a stronger voice in their own
affairs, and to provide a closer contact with the administration. A major
revision of the constitution will concern the election of officers, who will
be chosen by the congress rather than
by the student body.
It is an interesting paradox, however, that SC proposes to become
more representative of the students
by actually depriving them of direct
participation in campus politics. It
might seem that SC plans to merge
with the faculty in controlling student affairs rather than representing
student interests. Formerly there was
a narrow channel of communication
between the students and the faculty.

Now there will be a direct channel of

communication between the faculty
and SC, which will consist of
d
representatives.
There are obvious advantages to
the proposed system eliminating the
exhausting campaign, minimizing the
popularity element, and erasing the
chance of fraud. But, even though
existing student apathy has necessitated the introduction of a new election system, we question presently
whether it will really be a "government by the people." It may work
quite differently in actual operation.
Whatever the implications, it is
with relief that we see SC making an
effort at rejuvenation. In its most
crucial phase of existence it has heard
the call of duty and is responding.
Slowly the veil of lethargy is being
lifted, exposing the first active trace
of enthusiasm.
It is about time SC, which once
voted to meet every other week
of a "dearth of business," began concerning itself with planning
a better student government. It is a
healthy sign which we applaud.

The Readers' Form
Money Problems

To The Editor:

Yesterday I was a student, today
I am not. And if you don't believe
me, you can ask the University. Last
semester, since I took nine hours of
course work, I was a fulltime graduate student. Since I am only taking
seven hours this time, my identity
as a student is gone. My ID card
wasn't stamped and so I won't be
able to attend the rest of the concert
series or any more basketball games.
The explanation is known to us all.
I didn't pay for enough hours. From
each fee the University receives, it
sets aside a certain amount for the

Athletic Department and another
amount for the concert series. Only
those students who pay the full fee
are allowed to see the basketball
games or go to the concerts. Yet
some of the money I pay in goes for
this purpose so well as for the one
who pays some more.
The Athletic Department needs all
the money it can get, I guess, and
so does the concert series. The whole
University is run on a sort of profit
motive. I also don't get the services
of the infirmary, either, I have been
informed.
There are several students here on
campus, not me alone, who are in
this predicament. Anyone who has a
good deal of work to do, whether it
be research, to trying to make enough
money just to live on while going to
school is very likely not carrying a
full load of classwork.
Yet these people who would most
enjoy the concert series or the basketball games aren't allowed to go. The
division of students in this fashion
is arbitrary and unfair.
Students, especially graduate students, aren't here so that they will
make a lot of money. Anyone who
spends years in the Physics Department or math or chemistry or biology
knows that he isn't going to make
a fortune from his labor. Economically, it isn't worthwhile to go on
for any advanced degree. And for
the time they are here, it is a hardship to live on the money they make.
I don't recommend anyone trying

to tell this to the Athletic Department nor to the administration. The
matter of the ID cards is just one of
the little annoyances perpetrated by
the administration. The Cooperstown
and Shawneetown rents were raised,
after, as I got it, they had been promised to be lowered. The Student
Union food prices are too high for me
to eat there. And I had three books
out of the library four days overdue
which cost me the ridiculous sum of
60 cents. Dean Martin's office says
it needs to charge $5 for a student's
car found parked on campus at the
wrong time. Now I'm not in favor of
abolishing these fines, but they could
be more moderate.
In short, the University administration regards it as a favor to let the
students come here, a rather expensive favor.
In all fairness, I know it costs a lot
of money to run the University and
that most of it doesn't come from the
students. Yet it is no favor to the
student to let him come here. It is

to everyone's ultimate advantage that
there be higher education fox those
who can take advantage of it.
The University administration has
a big problem in getting a decent
amount of. money from a reluctant
Legislature. But I don't think that
the student who is spending his whole
effort toward getting an education
should be penalized in these rather
unique ways.

Library Problem

Where To Sit
Psychologists have made it quite
clear in our society that the most effective and rewarding studying is
done when the student is in a relaxed
state. Periodic breaks from the normal

study grind, they point out, help to
keep the student alert.
But periodic breaks, if done in an
atmosphere of boisterousness and on a
hard seat, are not so conducive to
scholarship. We refer specifically to
the University's Margaret I. King Library and the congregation of students
who so often gather in the foyer between study sessions.
The most logical lounging spot in
the lobby happens to be the steps and
students naturally take advantage of
them. It is a common sight to see the
steps loaded with buzzing, smoking, and sprawling students. But this
is not to criticize them. They naturally
need the break and the steps afford
the only place to relax.

he fact that most students go to
the I'K l.ibiary lor study at least two
to lour hours means that the aeiage
student will take a short break ceiy
hour to form t his lessons.
Unfortunately, the group creates an
adverse impression on any first-timvisitors to the library, especially if the
visitor attempts to push his way
through the crowd to reach the steps.
The sensible answer is to prov ide a
few solas, benches, or chairs in the
lobby of the library so that the students will not clutter up the stairs and
so that the visitors will not eye the
'I

e

UK Library discreditably.

That the library will be expanded
under the new building program
should not be an adequate excuse for
ignoring a request for seats. Although
the library suffers from a lack of space
already, two or three seats would not
appreciably jam the lobby or block
any of the displays. And the cost
would be neligible.
