University Planmiii
New Science Bmildin
Every step possible is being taken
to award the contract for construction of UK's new science
building by July 1, Dr. Frank D.
Peterson said yesterday.
The University vice president in
charge of business administration
said, "The construction of a scienrle
building will bring to a summation
a long period of persevering for
such facilities.
"The administration of the University in 1945 made an application
to the Bureau of Community Facilities of the federal government
for a loan of money without interest to plan and design this new
building," Dr. Peterson said.

Dr. Lyle R. Dawson, head of the
Chemistry Department, said the
new facilities will enable twice as
many students to study chemistry
and a greater number of graduate
students to do research work. Because of crowded conditions, the
number of chemistry students is
now restricted, he continued.
Present plans call for the remodeling of Pence and Kastle
Halls. However, the administration
will decide the extent of the renovations and the purposes for
which they will be used.
"In 1946 an architect was emThe drive between Pence and

Bill, nccoiding to figures released
by the Veterans' Office.
Total veteran enrollment is down
to approximately 675 from the
nearly 2,000 who were enrolled Just
after the end of the Korean War.
The last date to enter service and
bs eligible for educational benefits
was Jan. 31, 1955. Therefore, most
eligible seivicemen have been discharged, but they are given three
years after separation in which to
begin their education.
It Is expected that the number of
veterans will continue to dwindle
and thtn disappear conipletly within the next few years.
A bill was proposed in Congress

or "cold war" veterans, but it was
never acted upon by the House.
The Veterans' Office has no
figures available on UK students
who would be eligible for educational benefits under such a bill.

* The American Failure
Today's public is daily inundated
with news of upheaval in foreign
countries, of reports of increasing
crime in the U. S., and of security
messages from the nation's leaders
that everything is all right because
we have an "indestructible force."
The continuous barrage of such
news blabbed over our mass media
has so affected the public that it has
become extremely defensive over
Communism, concerned over national complacency, and sensitive to criticism of its own country, even its own
idiosyncracies.

The security messages help very
little. Americans realize that the threat
of a national aggressor is ominous indeed and tlut one mistake with the
magic
could touch off destruction. There is no real feeling of
safety in today's world.
II-butt-

But the tragic result is the stifling
of national humor. The tenseness of
the world has stripped many Americans of their sense of humor and the

ability to laugh at themselves.

I

For instance, censors sliced the
first four letters of one of Capp's
characters last year a playboy named
"Mr. Cesspool." They felt that the use
of the word was in such bad taste for
the "naive" public that it should not
be used in his feature.
We welcome Al Capp to the University and we hope that his speeches
help many here to regain their sense
of humor and dispell their senseless

sensitivity.

For, despite the
international upheaval, crime, and scandal,
we feel that a country must never lose
its ability, to laugh at itself. If it does,
it deserves to be destroyed.

Three Cheers For A&T

Al Capp, creator of the satirical

comic strip "Lfl Abner," has borne
severe criticism himself lx)th from
the public and from censors of his
syndicated feature. A commentator on
politics, sex, and law enforcement,
Capp has often been in a rage over
censorship of his comic strip, although
he has characterized many phases of
American life quite accurately. His
representations of America have struck
too close to home to satisfy them.
