was one of the "Hilltop" lxvs. To
this day the President still likes
hot foods and sea foods. Another
of his favorite dishes is spaghetti
Included in the "Hilltop" group
and very close friends of Dr. Donovan were (Juy Whitehead and
Frank Cooper as well as the author
A. L. Crabb. Tcxlay Crabb is best
known as the author of books on
the South and for his book on
Henry Clay. "Home to Kentucky."
He will be here tomorrow for the
President's birthday.
Guy Whitehead and A. L Crabb
of the UK English Department are
the sons of these men with the
same names in the "Hilltop"

name he had at Western or the
stories written on him and his
classmates at Western, or his first
experience with tobacco.
As early as August. 1918. "American Boy'- was publishing articles
on him, but at that time he was
known as "Pepper" Donovan. As
a matter of fact a whole scries of
articles appeared in the magazine

de-lic-

on a Rroup of boys that were stu-

dents at Western State College in
1907, then known a3 Western Kentucky State Normal School.
The articles, written by A. L.
Crabb, a member of the 'group,
were narrative stories on the happenings and experiences of this
close group of "Hilltop" boys. He
tried to some extent to disguise
the names even though the last
names were always correct. Many
of the incidents actually happened,
but were elaborated upon and exaggerated by Crabb. until the
stories were a combination of fiction and truth.
According; to one story the nickname "Pepper" Donovan came as
a result of heavily peppered oysters
eaten by the President. Herman
Donovan had just arrived at the
school and the hoys wanted to
"break him in." After a Ion? hike
they suggested stopping in a restaurant for some "Arabia" oysters,
which were supposedly a special
kind.
After the oysters arrived one of
the group sounded a false fire
alarm. While Donovan was trying
to see the fire a member of the
party peppered his oysters very

Dr. Donovan was the first student to ever be enrolled by Western Kentucky State Normal School
when it was created in 1!H)7. Rather ironically he later became president of the sister school, Eastern
Kentucky State Teachers College,

Pcuarded as a quiet and mannerly little buy with very, vcrv

RE Week Dying
Religious Emphasis Work, undoubtably a
good animal event, is being: smothered to
death year after year by
Reing an interdenominational undertaking
uniand taking place at a
versity Hcligions Emphasis Week naturally
poses a great many problems. No one creed
is being offered students during the week;
only the value of religion itself is being
over-ambitio-

non-secteria-

stressed.
This worthy goal, it seems, is being lost
in the shuffle of other things now being connected with HE Week.
In an effort to be a "campus-wide- "
event,
speakers are sent to classes, clubs, student
gatherings, and special meetings. The week
is started off with a "mass" convocation at
the Student Union.
These speakers could fulfill the aims of
Religious Emphasis Week, but there are two
big factors working against them as a group
every year:
(1) Many of the selected speakers are not
qualified to speak on anything, certainly not
on such a complex subject as religion. One
dull, confusing speaker can effectively kill
the thoughts stimulated by three exceptional
speakers.
(2) Some students have to sit through as
many as three religious talks during the week
generally without previous notice and he
often feels like the horse being forcefully led

to water.

'SGA-

concerning the poor
speakers, is more serious than just lnxing the
students. At least one instance was reported
this year where one of the speakers in class
harangued his audience with certain tenets
of a belief not shared by all of those present.
When questioned about the tenets he was
advocating, the speaker reportedly became
involved in a frenzied argument.
Fortunately, this type of incident is rare.
The first factor,

But it only takes a few mistakes to kill a
good cause.
.
The second factor is important to consider
because, unlike the general convocation
where students are given the opportunity to
attend but do not have to go, class religious
lectures arc still considered class periods.
The student feels he must attend.
Both factors apparently stem from
It would be better to have only a
handful of qualified speakers than to fill out
the ranks with incapable ones. Also, it would
be far better to risk losing portions of the
student audience than not to have optional
class attendance at religious talks and discussions.
Briefly, then, Religious Emphasis Week
should be left up to the student. If he feels
that he is not being forced into something,
and if he learns that what is being offered is
top grade, he will support the event and
profit from it.
Otherwise, BE Week may never be the
full succes it deserves to be.

permanent committee, the Social
Commitec, was added to Student Government this year. It was started off with a lot
of noise and promise, and has apparently
ended in a sputtering fizzle.
The Social Committee, at its conception,
was given extraordinary help from the deans
of men and women, the vice president of the
Universitv, and Dr. Donovan himself.
Formed to provide inexpensive jam sessions and dances on campus, the Social Committee asked for both a suitable place to
have the dances and funds to provide for
them. Both items were quickly granted.
The University officials made it possible
to stage the Social Committee's first free
event on the floor of the Coliseum. This
'sock hop" was held after the big pep rally
in the Coliseum befOrc the Tennesee football game.
This "sock hop" was encouragingly successful. It drew a fairly large crowd, and

contests is chosen by a faculty committee.
Most students don't know who their
representatie is until they see her picture
in the papers. Actually the girl can hardly
be called the choice of the school it the
students have no say in the matter. As it
stands now a majority of the students probably don't care who is Festival queen.
There are at least two solutions to the
problem. First, the Kentuckian Queen could

automatically be named Mountain Laurel
candidate. As Queen of ueens, Miss Kentuckian is supposed to be the most beautiful
girl on campus. She is also chosen by the
students. As the First Lady of the school it
is perfectly logical that she should represent
the University in off campus contests.
Secondly, there could be a student election, either for the candidate herself or for
a panel of five or six girls from. whom the,
faculty could pick the representative. This
would give both tlie faculty and students
some voice in the selection.

thus filled the need of many students especially independents of having a place on
campus to go for entertainment.
Following the initial try of the Social Committee, permission was given to use the
Wildcat Grill on Euclid as a site for Friday
afternoon "jam sessions." A bandstand was

authorized and constructed.
It looked like that SGA had hit upon a
winning combination for both solving a student problem and at the same time gaining
student support.
But the "jam sessions" were never held at
the Wildcat. The Social Committee simply
folded back to the fate of all too many SGA
committees. There was a lot of talk and
excuses, but there was no action.
Despite the regrettable time lag, it is not
too late for SGA to finish what it started over
five months ago. The Mieed for a working
Social Committee still and will continue.

The right arm of the president.
These words best describe the
petite, brown haired woman who
greets you as you first enter the
office of Herman L. Donovan,
president of the University of
--

The lady so described is Miss
R. Honan, who bears the
title of administrative assistant to
the president. For 17 years she has
.served the president's office; at
first during the regime of the late
Dr. Frank McVey. then under act-in- s
president Thomas P. Cooper,
and. since 1941, as part of Dr. Donovan's staff.
Due to the shyness of her own
personality and the natural anonymity of any secretarial position,
Miss Hogan has remained virtually
unknown to the vast majority of
students and townspeople during
the last 17 years. Only the people
she has associated with realize the
important role she plays in the
administration of the affairs of the University.
President Donovan, who is more
aware of her qualifications than
any other single person, stated
emphatically that "if any person
deserves recognition. Miss Hogan
certainly does. She is an efficient
secretary, meets people well, and,
most important, knows how to
keep the flow of interviewers moving. In this office, we have many
visitors plus 0 letters to be answered daily. This work is handled solely . by Miss Hogan and
Miss Paynter." (Betsy Paynter is
secrtary to th president.)
In her school days. Miss Hogan
said she "never thought of becom

cation.
Sue was named secretary to the
principal at Bryan Station High
School in September of 1935. She
remained here two years.
In June 1937. Miss Hogan .was
appointed to the Lgislative Coun- cil in Frankfort as secretary and
research worker. On Dec. 1, 1938,
she became assistant secretary in
December of 1938 to President
Frank L. McVey. Dr. McVey retired on July 1, 1940 and Dean
Thomas P. Cooper was named acting president.
ur. Herman L. Donovan was
lamed UK president on July i,
941. Miss Hogan remained a member of the staff as assistant secretary to the president.
On Sept. 18, 1947. Miss Hogan
became secretary to the president
when Dr. Donovan's secretary was
asked to take charge of a newly-create- d
University office.
She remained at this post until
Dec. 1, 1954, when she accepted
post of administhe newly-create- d
trative assistant.
When asked about her duties.
Miss Hogan replied she "handled
routine office matters, answered

40-5-

Js:

the telephone, etc." However, more
questioning revealed .she not only
did all this, but actually to a large
extent handled the miner duties of
the president, enabling him t
concentrate on the major problems
of uujy'rsity administration.
Miss Paynter said that "Miv
Hogan not only handles hi r sci re- tarial duties she anticipates the
wishes of Dr. Donovan almost before he is aware of them him-elt- .'
In view of the above, it would
hardly seem that Miss Hogan. who
'lives with her parents at 343 Desha
Road, could find time for a hobby.
But she does (when time permits
like to travel. She has visited ex-- !
tensively throughout the United
States and also in Mexico and
Canada for short periods.
"I hope to continue to serve the
University if at all possible." said
Miss Hogan about her future plans
Dr. Donovan's high regard for her
seems to be mutual as she, in
peaking of his possible retirement,
stated that it "had been a great
privilege and pleasure to work with
Dr. Donovan and I regret the time
