3 UK Students Hurt

When Car Hits Bus

Three UK students were injured,
none seriously, when their sports
car rammed the side of a Greyhound bus at the Rose Street-men- 's
dorms campus exit early Sunday.
Treated at Good Samaritan Hospital and then released were:
Scott Robertson, 21, driver, lacerated forehead; Brad Clark, 22,
scalp laceration; and Teddy G.
Wood, 21, small laceration and
sprained right shoulder.
The chartered bus carried the
UK track team, returning from a
Saturday meet in Tennessee.
The accident occurred whenRo-b?rtso- n

to Rose Street and ploved into

tried to swerve sharply to the
left just as the crash occurred.
Greyhound driver Edward Sapp
said he was about to stop the bus
on the south side of the exit to
unload his passengers when the
sports car "came flying out of the
driveway."
He estimated his speed at about
20 m.p.h. at the time of the crash.
The sports car was extensively
damaged by the impact, but the
bus was barely dented.
All three of the injured students
are members of Phi Delta Theta
fraternity here.

Dead Heat

This finish-lin- e
photograph caused the Fushcart Derby's judges to declare the race a dead heat between Triangle (car No. 19) and Delta Tau Delta (car No. 5) after they had originally given Triangle first place. The black line running through the wide white stripe indicates the official finish
line. The Delt car was driven by Claude Pierce and pushed last by Kenny Baker. The Triangle driver
is Walt Bomhoff, pushed by Jim Irvin, who fell down at the finish line. His hand is visible just above
Bomhoff's left shoulder. The teams will have a rematch at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Ever since University officials announced several weeks ago that
Spindletop Farm and its palatial mansion would be purchased for the tidy
sum of $850,000, the Kernel has remained editorially silent about such
a venture. We would wait, we
thought, until they decided what to
do with it. Last week, Vice President
Frank D. Peterson announced that
the University is considering converting the mansion into a club for
faculty, staff and alumni. This, we
feel, deserves some comment.
The University's purchase

of

Spindletop Farm, valued at well over
a million dollars, was certainly a bargain. But what good is a bargain if
you can't use it? Unless the farm is
resold, it has no practical use to this

farmland are superfluous when you
consider that the University already
owns more than 4,200 acres of farm
land across the state.
Yet using the land for farming,
ridiculous as it is, would be wise in
comparison to using the mansion for
a club. Spindletop Hall is a monstrosity. It is a gigantic white elephant, an oversized county court
house with slightly more elegant rest-room,

try club? Won't the public ask: If the
University can spend that kind of
money for a club, why can't it dole
out a little for some classrooms?
Since this school year opened, the
University has done much to solidify
its reputation as the "Country Club of
the South." Consider the raising of
tuition, of room and board fees and
of housing project rent; consider the
new ruling that fees cannot be paid
on the installment plan; consider the
misguided Student Congress proposal
to investigate present liquor laws, a
proposal which University officials
made no effort to deny; and now consider the purchase of an ostentatious
structure like Spindletop Hall for use
as a country club for University employees.

To think that anyone, even the
newly-ric- h
Mrs. Pansy Grant, could
spend over half a million dollars to
build a monstrosity like Spindletop
Hall in the midst of this country's
most devastating depression, is amazing in itself, but to think that this

Some 20 European tourists, mostly
from the Netherlands, have arrived in
the United States, intent upon seeing
America, including Canada, by trailer
(caravan to them). Happy touristsl
For travelers such as these want to
see the country, many facets of it, not
merely cities that look much like other
cities elsewhere.
The casual visitor, unless informed,
might not know whether he was in
Baltimore or St. Louis, Cleveland or
Seattle, Atlanta or Des Monies. And
while today the trailer tourist will find
"trailer parks" much alike, the families in the trailers next to .his won't be.
He will shop for his food at local

stores. Supermarkets are supermarkets
wherever they are found, but he will
be rubbing shoulders with local choppers. He will draw up on the roadside for lunch and look over the
fence at the farmer and his corn, or
cotton, or wheat, or pastured cattle.
And he must stop daily for gas and
oil. Then he will learn that an American response to "thank you" is in one
legion, "Y'all come back"; in another,
"You bet"; in another, "Be seem you.'
After 10,000. miles of this (and
that's how far this trailercade is to
tour) he may not know just how but
he will feel that he has tasted America.
