Dairymen Discuss
Use Of Margarine
In UK Cafeteria
Why does the UK cafeteria serve
oleomargarine instead of butter?
That's what a group of dairymen
f.nd herdsmen, who were attending
one of the Colleeg of Agriculture
and Home Economics short courses
for dairymen, wanted to know last
week.

The group unanimously adopted a
resolution, presented by Emmett E.
Miller of Owensbori). condemning
the substitution of margarine for
butter in the Student Union cafeteria.
The resolution said the University
fails to represent the best interest
of the State when it neglects to
serve butter. Butter and other dairy
products, Mr. Miller observed, are
second only to tobacco in the
amount of farm income.
Mr. Miller also urged the school
to practice what it teaches by using
home products.
In the College of Agriculture and
Home Economics the future farmers
are taught that the use of as many
home products as possible will bene- fit the state as a whole, and in the
long run they will also be benefiting
themselves. If, instead of using home
products, they buy or use dairy pro- duce substitutes that are manufac- tured elsewhere, their own income
from farm products will decline.

Federal Loan Has Delayed
Building Of Women 's Dorm
The University continues its growth as shown byj
a statement this week from President Donovan
that construction is expected to begin this year on
the fraternity row, a new men's dormitory', and a
new women's dormitory.
We were most interested in the statement concerning the women's dorms. As Dr. Donovan said
in his last annual report to the Board of Trustees,
housing for women is the most urgent need of the
University.
There has not lieen a year since the close of
World War II that the enrollment of girls would
not have been at least a thousand more if the University had had proper housing facilities for these
young women, the president said. Although no
girls were turned away this year, more than the
alloted number of girls were crowded into the
dormitories.
The privilege of higher education at the University is being denied to a great many Kentucky girls,
President Donovan said in his report, because they
are unable to secure desirable places in which to
live at prices they can afford.
The housing problem for men has not been so
serious as that for women. Resides living in the
men's dorms, barracks, and in fraternity houses,
.

The telephone shortage in the men's dormitories
is still being investigated by the Student Government Association, but no concrete answer has been
found yet.
Mike Ganji, head of the investigating committee,
impressed us last month when he reported to SGA
that the total cost of Installation of phones per
school year would be about $900. His figures showed that each resident of the men's dorms would pay
an additional $1.70 a year for the use of the phones,
and that the cost of each telephone, per month,
would be $5.70.
He later told us these figures applied to residential phones and not to extension phones which
would be put in the dorms. Canji stated tliat the
manager of the Kentucky Telephone Corporation
in Lexington said 20 phones can be placed in the'
dorms at a price of $1.50 each per month. Phones
would run throuch the UK switchboard, which is
operated by the company. The manager was reported as saying a buzz system similar to the one
in girls dorms can be installed with little additional expense.
If the phones are installed, Ganji said, it would
mean only an SO or 90 cents increase in a student's
rent per semester. He also reported Dr. Donovan
as "accepting our plan completely, as long as it

H

Fence Me In

9

That fence has no defense. We're speaking of
the wire fence between the Journalism Building
and the Mining Laboratory. There are no reasons
and advantages for the fence, whatever, only disadvantages.
Most students are, no foubt, familiar with this
barbwire barrier. Time after time, students, walking between the two buildings, look up only to
see the chicken wire cage stretched across their
pathway. They scratch their heads, turn, and walk,
way around the Mining Laboratory Building. It
seemed only natural to them that they could get
through such a place.
Not only are students handicapped and puzzled
by the fence, but visitors to the campus are also,
puzzled at the appearance of such a barrier in their
pathway. During some of the UK's night football
and basketball games, persons have actually walked
into the fence before seeing it. They stumbled back
and attempted to find a new way to the stadium or
Coliseum.
From the aesthetic point Tif view, fences strung
across a campus do not add beauty to it.
walks look much better.
When the Journalism Building was completed,
it was naturally assumed a sidewalk would be con- -

structed to the walk running between the Engineer
Building and the Journalism Building. But a fence
was stuck up instead. Still, it was assumed that
this arrangement would Ik temporary and that a
waik would sx)ii replace the fence. It now looks
as if the University has no intention of doing anything about the fence.
Summarizing our feelings, the fence is a nuis
and it disturbs the
ance; it has no reason for
student's peace of mind. The fence should be torn
down and a sidewalk constructed in its place. The
campus is now covered with walks, and one more
won't hurt. We are sure the concrete and labor
needed for the job would not put a burden on the
University's budget.

men can live in private homes, but women are not
allowed to do so.
Considering these facts, we lxlieved a new womany other builden's dorm should lx erected
ing. Dr. Donovan explained this week why construction on a new residence hall for girls has been
delayed.
Money for building the new dorms is being borrowed from the federal government from a fund
set aside by Congress for such a purpose. Applications for loans for both the men's and women's
dorms were sent in at the same time, Dr. Donovan
said. At first it was required that the money be
used with some military connection. Since boys are
taking llOTC, the loan for a men's dorm was given
preference to that for a women's hall. This requirement is now off, Dr. Donovan said, and the
application for a women's dormitory loan is being
pushed through.
The University still has a long way to go to fulfill its buildings need. There is a great need of
additional classroom and laboratory buildings. Several buildings on campus are unsafe and a disgrace
to the University and should be replaced.
UK has made great progress within the last decade, and we forsee as much progress within the
next decade.

doesn't put a burden on the University's budget."
Considering the figures Ganji gave, we thought
a solution to the problem could be found that
would not put a burden on the University's budget.
But last Monday night at SGA meeting, Ganji came
up with a bunch of new figures that well exceeded
his first calculations.
He stated that Joe Boston, University electrical
system
engineer, said a complete telephone-buzze- r
This
for the dorms, would cost about
would include about 50 telephones and 250 buzzers.
Although this would be the ideal system to have
and should be furnished, we know the University
would not approve it. It would increase the dorm's
budget by 12i2 per cent, and would put a "burden
on the University's budget."
Something definite needs to be done about the
problem. Only four telephones are available for
about 550 boys living in the dorms. Students desiring to use the phone at a busy time must stand
in line and then must liave nickels for the slot. If
a number on campus is busy, a student loses his
nickel. It is also difficult to contact a boy living
in the dorms because of lack of phones in the
buildings.
The best solution we see is to put the plan on a
smaller scale. The initial plan called for installing
16 or 20 phones in the dorms. We suggest that
SGA and Mr. Ganji find the exact price for installing this number of phones without the buzzer system. Although this setup would not be so complete and convenient as the larger plan, it has a,
greater chance of being approved by the University.

UK Again Involved

In 'Serious Scandal9
While the wheels of academic drudgery grind
slowly away, the dark shadow of scandal hovers
over the University once again. This scandal, for
a change, does not concern our atheletes, nor does
d
it involve professors or students in
cliarges made by America's modern witch hunters.
Nay, it strikes at a much more fundamental part of
our University, striking us squarely in the pit of
the stomach.
Students and faculty alike were undoubtedly
nature of this latest
stunned by the
scandal, sensing that it casts an eternally damning
shame upon the name of the University of Kentucky. Even those not directly involved have felt
the hurt, for the name of the fair state of Kentucky
has been dragged through the muck of the hideous
crime.
So disturbing was the nature of this scandal that
a committee was formed to protest it on Feb. 19
a protest to be made to a substantial portion of
the state's backlone, a group of men attending the
final session of the dairy fieldmen's and herdsmen's
short course at tlie University. The seriousness of
the scandal is thus reflected, if we are to assume
that Kentucky's dairymen and herdsmen are a vital
link in the agricultural strength of our state, a
vertebra in the nat
