Red-win-

"The Critical Century" was the
topic of a speech delivered Monday
by Dean Elvis J. Stahr, dean of the
College of Law, in the Browsing
Room of the library.
After giving a pagentary sketch
of other critical centuries, the dean
said our particular century is faced
with the problem of fighting Ideas
with finer ideas. This fight, which
is essentially a battle of brains, will
probably reach a showdown within
our lifetime, he emphasized.
Our century is more' critical than
past centuries, he said, because not
just our religious freedom or our
political ideas are threatened, but
because our entire way of life is at
stake.
In order to win this battle, we
must have a more politically intelligent citizenry to take a deep interest in public affairs. Dean Stahr
said. There must be a large group
of competent young leaders to guide
our affairs. These young leaders are

adopt such a program for undergraduates. He said, however, that
two states have previously made
an apprenticeship a prerequisite

UK's

lady

veter-

inarian. Dr. Marianne (Spud) Smith,
has a hankering to travel. With the
end of July, Dr. Smith will end her
present stay at UK and take a trip
to Ireland.
Spud, as Dr. Smith prefers to be
called, says she doesn't have a specific position In mind when she
reaches Ireland, but will look the

country over before deciding where
to stop. At present, she is not planning to study Irish animal anatomy.
"I don't even know how long I'll be
there," she said.
Dr. Smith was born and reared in
New York city as she says, "In the
middle of New York." Her childhood ambition was to be a rootin-toot- in
cowboy, but when she found
that would be a rather difficult goal
to attain, she switched ambitions
and decided to become an animal
doctor. Spud spent two summers
working on a horse farm oefore
commencing school. Then she spent
a couple of semesters at a girls
school in Maine. "I won't say which
school it was," she said, "because it
sounds too snobbish!" She quickly
added, "And you can print .that too!"
IN 1949, DR. SMITH received her
D. V. M. degree from Cornel University. There were only four girls
in her graduating class, and Spud
says they really had a lots of fun.
After her graduation, she came to
UK as a veterinarian.
Dr. Smith's chief duty is being assistant to Dr. Ross Brown of the
College of Agriculture.
She said
they doctored every specie of animal
from squirrels to zebras, but that
she prefers to work with horses.
Spud says that someday she hopes
to become a horse specialist. She
expects to find the road to being a
horse specialist a tough one to
travel. "Where horses are plentiful,
there seems to be too many established veternarians," she said.
IT WAS ALMOST a necessity for
this young lady to become a doctor
while still in her twenties. Spud
has a unique way of explaining the
necessity. "My father was a doctor.
my mother was a nurse, and my
brother became a doctor and married a nurse. I'm right in line with
my family, if I am a horse doctor."
Spud says her main hobby is
working with animals, but she does
like to do other things sometimes.
Among those other things she lists
riding, traveling, and just enjoying
herself. When a few spare moments
arrive at the Pathology Building
one may hear singing with accompaniment by a guitar. The strings
are strummed by Spud, who is helping her friends ta enjoy themselves.
DR. SMITH SAYS that many
funny things have happened since
she began her work at UK. One
morning an ailing rooster named
George was brought to her. It was
a net roaster which had a habit of
nnnouncin'; reveille to its masters
by pecking their heads. That morn- -
