'Coal' Issue Still Smoking

State Official Calls
Kernel Story 'Unfair'
State Finance Commissioner Orba F. Taylor has said the
Kernel's news story and editorial concerning the Medical Volume L
Center's
heating plant gave "unfair conclusions
and incorrect facts."
coal-burnin- g

Traylor's comments were made
in a letter to Jim Hampton, Kernel
editor-in-chie- f.
The articles, both
based on an analysis of potential
fuels for the plant made by
Ellerbe and Co., project consultants, were published Oct. 9. Considerable controversy arose after
the story was picked up by other
newspapers.
The commissioner's letter said
the Ellerbe report was inaccurate
in estimating both initial installation and operational costs. The report said
equipment
could be installed at a saving of
$370,000 ever
equipment. It also showed fuel costs
would be $27,950 a year less for
gas than for coal.
In refuting these figures, the
commissioner's letter said Ellerbe
and Co. has had little experience
with coal power plant installations.
"Furthermore,"
the letter continued, "fcr Ellerbe and Co. to use
retail costs of coal when the state
Division cf Purchases buys in bulk
and compare such cost with not
the most expensive gas or to compare the most elaborate coal installation to relatively cheaper gas
installations is to present an inaccurate report."
According to Traylor, the coal
equipment will cost $130,000 more
system but coal
than a
operating costs will be $42,000 per
year less. This, he said, will amortize the additional construction
cost In about three and one-ha- lf
years.
In reference to the Kernel's editorial cartoon, "Where Coal Burns,
There's Smoke," the letter stated:
"On the possibility of smoke
becoming a nuisance, this plant
will be equipped with the' most
modern and elaborate
and firing equipment which is
designed to control the smoke
problecbr It Is thought 'that ' this
will be much more desirable than
the 'stub-stac- k'
which had been
designed by Ellerbe f or .

boilers. It was thought that the

coal storage has been solved
through arrangements with the
National Coal Institute and railroad lines serving Lexington.
"Instead of fleets of trucks as
depicted by your cartoon," it said,
"no more than three or four trucks
will be utilized, and all will be
used on the return trip to haul
ashes."
The letter also mentioned that
the Ellerbe design, calling for gas-firboilers, did not allow for
conversion to coal in event of national emergency or gas shortage.
It said the state thought it imperative that not only the cheapest
but the most stable fuel be chosen
in case of national emergency.
' A University official said Saturday that the recommendation to
use gas, based on the figures in
the Ellerbe reports was made to
the state after considering costs,
storage difficulties and possible
smoke and soot problems. This
recommendation was submitted to
Prof. James W. Martin, then commissioner of finance. Martin deequipcided to use

Dan Millott
Is Elected
SP Chairman
The Students' Party elected Dan
Millott as its chairman at the
party's fall election.
Millott served as SP from January of 1957 until April of this
year when he resigned his position. His resignation came after
an unsuccessful bid for the party's
nomination for SC president.
Jim Heil. Millott's successor
last April did not accept another
nomination. Millott was elected
by acclamation.
e,
Other officers included Jack
vice chairman; Carolyn
Jones, secretary, and Bob Wain-scot- t,
treasurer.
Wainscott is presently serving
as JSC. Secxetarof Strides Aifsiw.
The election of Millott was the
fourth time the SP elected him
to the post. He is presently the
Tuesday editor of the Kernel. He
also writes a column for the paper
which appears on Thursday, but
the future of this column is in
doubt.
The column, "On The Spot,"
deals mostly with campus affairs
and since the SP chairmanship is
partisan. Millott has said he may
drop the column.
The newly elected chairman expressed gratification to the party
and added. "I hope the party's
trust in my past service will be
vindicated in the coming months."

enough for an announcement to
be made.
During the summer 118 parking
spaces were added to existing
spaces to bring the total spaces
on the campus to 1.366. New
spaces were added behind the
Pharmacy Building, and at the
north end of the Fine Arts
Building.
Existing spaces were lengthened
by one and one-ha- lf
feet and the
diagonals were widened to facili- tate parking of newer and larger
cars.
To create more parking space
the yellow lines were shortened to
the minimum required for fire
and pedestrian safety.
A new
parking lot will be
opened within the next few weeks.
The lot will be across from the
Dairy Products Building and on
the west side of Rose St.

Student Insurance Plan
Last week the Student Congress
began steps which could lead "to a
big welfare improvement on our
ampus. The governing bcxly .has
taken initial steps in the formulation
of a student insurance plan.
We express a great respect for this
idea as i( JSas all indications of being
a step forward.
The idea behind this plan is to
provide insurant e coverage for students not only while they arc on
campus, but traveling to and from
the campus as well.
The final plan which" will be adopted is still a mystery, but since the
beginning steps are now being taken,
we feel that it is time to set a goal
for a standard which this Student

insurance plan should attain.
First of all, the plan should be as
broad as possible. It should be sound,
but it should provide UK students
with a guarantee of medical care as
well as payftig out accident benefits
when this becomes necessary.
One point that has been brought
forward on the proposed plan is the
question of whether it should be compulsory or voluntary. If the plan is
successful, no doubt it will eventually
have universal subscription here, but
many have expressed the idea that it
should be voluntary only.
We have considered this thoughtfully, but to us there is no solid
justification for a voluntary plan.
At present UK does offer free
limited medical care in the infirmary.
This is paid for out of each student's

tuition fee. It should follow that
broader and better health coverage
should also be available to all the
students.
Under a plan of compulsory student insurance it appears quite evident that the cost per student would
decrease considerably if the plan were
placed on the compulsory basis.
To us," and we believe to the students in general, this is a vital feature. Student insurance is important,
but it is bound to lose its value if the
"Students are asked to purchase something over and above their regular
lees. In short, student insurance must
be made a part of the accepted list of
services provided by the students lor
the students.
Just as so much of each students
tuition goes to Student Congress, the
Student Union, the Kernel and other
services, so it should follow that a
certain amount should be set aside for
student benefit in an insurance program.

It should also follow that the administration of this program should
go with the group that is initiating
the idea, the Student Congress itself.
They, in conjunction with the company administering the policy and
the administration of the University,
must be in close contact if such a
plan is to be at all successful.
Rest assured, the Kernel proclaims
its support for student insurance, but
we are not for just any insurance
program. Completeness is the essence
here.

'Grillology' Attacked

It is distressing to me that the Kernel

it has had to stoop to "news" such as

It is unfortunate that personnel in a
position to exercise tremendous influence
over the student body's thinking are of
the fibre that would consider "grillology"
as "a very important phase of college
:
life."
Since the Kernel is supposedly a reflection of all the students' attitudes, desires, etc., allow me to say a word for
more than a few of us. We do riot consider "grillology" as "a very imjortant
phase of college life" and are desirous
that future comments apparently born
of a hangover not be treated as noteworthy news in our paper.

Kernel Needs Humor
To the Editor:
to congratulate you
on your ability to edit a daily paper
intelligently. I would like, though, to
add this, although I believe you are
keeping abreast of national affairs and
the news on campus, there is to nie a
noticeable avoidance of humor.
When I look through the paper I
expect to sec the majority of subjects
portrayed seriously, but I would like,
and 1 believe other students would also
like to see more humor and maybe a
personal column ic. "Happy Birthday
To Dave G. from J. G. T. Although You
Don't Deserve It," or mavbc a epiote
"There are more important things in life
besides money, but they won't go out
"with you unless you have- - some," Alfred

So concludes my menial suggestions
toward the improvement of our paper.

Error About WBKY
To the Editor:.
After reading and enjoying the article
about WBKY in Thursday's Kernel, I
have a small correction to make.
The article said the call letters WI1KY
are derived from the slogan "We Broadcast Kentucky." This is not entirely true,
as the letters . actually . come. from the
station's first . location, Beattyville, Ky.
WBKY was first licensed by the FCC
as a station to broadcast to live remote
listening centers in the Kentucky mountains, thereby making educational programming available to people who had
previously had no access to radio whatsoever. This hapjcned over 25 years ago.

What could be more conducive to
