A. B. Guthrie, director of a course
in narrative writing at the University, received the Pulitzer Prize
award this week for his book, "The
Way West."
Guthrie is the first novelist living
in Kentucky to receive the award.
He came to Lexington in 1926 as a
member of the Lexington Leader
staff. He was executive editor when
he retired 21 years later to devote
all of his time to fiction writing.
"The Way West" is the second
panel on the
book of a
history of the West. It had been
selected earlier by The New York
Times' Orville Prescott as one of the
best novels of 1949.
The Pulitzer Prizes, which carry
a cash award of $503, have been
awarded annually for 33 years under
the will of the late publisher, Joseph
Pulitzer.
The first of the series of Western
books, "The Big Sky," was published
in 1947, and won a $1000 literary
prize awarded by the Friends of
American Writers.
"The Big Sky" has been sold to
Winchester Pictures, a production

Cement Creek was UK's choice
because of its position in the center
of a local area of unusually fine
geology, and one where much of the
material can be reached on foot or
by short automobile hauls.
There are drawbacks, however,
for at that altitude, and with mountains towering to over 12.000 feet on
either side, climbing and other activity is materially hampered by the
thin air. It takes about two weeks
to get acclimated. Dr. McFarlan
said.
Cement Creek, fed by melting
snow, is the camp's source for water,
and is used for a refrigerator as
well.
As to

the study routine, students
are divided into parties of three or
four and distributed for work by station wagon, with instructors rotating from day to day with the different parties.
Opportunity is provided for independent professional wcrk for two
days, to be followed on the third by
a check-u- p and further guidance by
an Instructor. On Wednesdays special inspection trips are made to
points within a radius of 100 miles.
These Include the Black Canyon

and other friends among the local
ranchers had caught and put on

Dr. McFarlan explained the necessity of extensive geological field
work in the following words:
"Picture a student of literature
confined as far as original works
are concerned to the study of Emerson, Shakespeare, Longfellow, and
Poe. Good as they are individually
the student would come up with no
concept of the ramifications of the
field of literature. The University
brings the rest of the field to the
campus by way of an extensive library."
"But you cannot bring the great
volcanics,

physiographic
phenomena, and mineral resources
to the campus. You take the campus there."
"We have some good geology here

1. The system is a lenient one in spirit, but is abused too often.
2. Variations

as to make the rule seem ridiculous.
3. The provision for undergraduates with a standing of 2.4 or
better to Ie exempt from absentee penalties simply is not observed
by some professors.
There has been at least one case in which a student scheduled
to take a comprehensive examination in his major course has been
At least one instructor has stated to his class that even a broken
leg would not prevent absentee penalties. The ironv of it was
that a student in the class did suffer a broken leg and was failed
in that subject (but in no others) because of the time missed. The
student had a very high standing during four years here.
In several instances, instructors who are devout champions of
the European system of instruction forget such philosophy insofar
as cuts are concerned and penalize heavier than their fellows.
