Lickert was released from the

To change classes a student has
to first go to the dean of his college and get two adddrop cards.
The student's adviser must then
sign both cards to show his approval of the change. The instructor of the class the student wants
to enter ha3 to sign; the cards
next.
Both cards have to tie returned
to the dean of the college with
the signatures of the aklviser and
instructor for the dean'ji approval.
After getting the dean's approval,
the student will take one card to
Room 16 of the Administration
Building.
The class changing procedure
still is not completed until the
student leturns to Room 16 the
next day to get a permit to enroll
card. The permit to enroll card
is given to the instructor at the
first class meeting the student attends.
The process of simply adding or
dropping a class follows much the
same procedure.
In dropping a
class, the student goes from his adviser to the class instructor where
he picks up his permit to enroll
card and gets the Instructor's signature on the drop card. Both
cards must be returned to the college dean's office before the process

New Dorm

Work continues on the new men's dorm, located behind Donovan
Hall. The new dorm faces down Fraternity Row.

New Men's Dormitory
To Be Air Conditioned

The new men's dormitory under
construction behind Donovan Hall
will be the first completely air
conditioned building on campus.
Plans call for the dorm to be
completed in August of this year.
Dr. Frank Peterson, vice president
of business administration, said
construction was slightly behind
schedule, but the new dorm would
be ready for occupancy when school
started in September.
The dormitory will house 575
freshmen and sophomores. Two
boys will occupy each room and
each of the four floors will have
one councilor living in a private
room.

Peterson said the rooms

to those of Donovan Hall. He added
that all the furniture in the new
dorm would be built-iincluding
the single beds which would be
securely attached to the corners
of the room. Each floor will also
have a corridor bath.
Dr. Peterson said he did not
know as yet how much it would
cost students to live in the new
dorm. The room and board charge
would be based on the amount
necessary to pay for the building,
he added.
The dorm, which will cost
is being buUt on the old
football practice field with the entrance facing fraternity row.
The dorm construction is being
financed on a
loan at 2
percent interest.

floor. Dr. Peterson said the dorm
would not contain a cafeteria. The
boys will eat their meals in the
Donovan cafeteria or the new grill
which will open in September, he
stated. The old football dressing
room next to the dorm is being
converted into a grill.

For his work in providing a
"merry Christmas" for more than
400 underprivileged children, Lloyd
Douglas Roberts has been selected
Student Union Board Student of
the Month.
Doug was campus chairman
for the Greek Christmas parties
for needy children of the Abraham
Lincoln School.
Participating in the December
program were 25 fraternities and
sororities. Other organiiations were
not able to take part in the parties
because of annual chapter Christmas commitments.
The Student of the Month was
appointed to coordinate and make
arrangements for the parties. His
duties entailed contacting each

participating fraternity and

soror-

ity.
While organizing the parties with
the school's staff, Doug had to
make certain s transportation for
the children was available and to
see that old St. Nicholas was on
hand to pass out gifts. Doug himself posed as Santa Claus for one

party.

Representatives from the Greek
organizations worked with Doug to
coordinate the Christmas celebrations.
The hardest Job, says Doug, was

to group the children so each
sponsoring organization could have
the age group it desired.
Doug, an Arts and Sciences Junior, is a dramatic arts major. His
home is in Lexington.
Wally Brlggs, director of the
Ouignol Theater, said "Doug is
exceptional at character roles."
productions of "Winterset," "Inherit the Wind." and "Caine Mutiny."
President Frank G. Dickey lauded the Christmas parties saying
"one of the marks of a truly educated man ls his willingness to
render service to his fellow man.
"Certainly the work undertaken
here demonstrates the true spirit
of a University."
The Lincoln School's principal,
Miss Norma Murray, said, "Doug
did a fine job in organizing the
parties.
"The University's participants
.,
used excellent Judgment in planning the parties and buying the
gifts."
The children were taken to the
individual fraternity houses to eat
dinner. Then Santa made his entrance handing the gifts to the
boys and gills.
Dave Frasier,
SUB publicity
chairman, leports, "The Student of

the Month' must make an outstanding contribution to University
life during the respective month.
"Emphasis is placed on actions
unique to the campus community."
Applications for the award can
be obtained in the Program Director's Office in the Student Union Building.

gards it as a major catastrophe.
If the wheat crop fails, it isn't
a life or death matter. If the
lec--f or tgg market tumbles, it's
relatively unimportant.
The reason is oil, and man's
untiring search for It. Oil has
brought wild prosperity to Logan
County in northeast Colorado.
How does a farmer who has
struggled, hoped, and prayed
through crop after crop, good year
and bad, feel when he suddenly
v.akes up to a dream come true?
Charles F. Own, 73, sittlnj in
the comfortable home he built
cn his 5,000 acre farm, weighs the
question:
"We came here on imagination
mostly," Green says. "It was 1937.
Before that, we had a place southeast of Sterling. Wheat was only
sb6ut 90 cents a bushel. We didn't
have much wheat, and we lost that
place.
"So we rented a quarter section, 160 acres, out here. The land
was - practically worthless. The
dust storms . . . they were pretty
iad. We had some boys growing
up. so we had some manpower.
Somehow we survived.
"First one farmer and then
another near us wanted to sell
out. Three of the boys and I went
together and kept adding a little
of this land. We were heavily In
'

'IN-KA- R'

Mrs. Green beams modestly.
"Money doesn't hurt people if
they're rooted deep in Christianity," she says. "Both sides of
our family have been avowed
Christians for generations. This
kept all of us from making fools
of ourselves after we began getting the money from the oil."
Some of the wells on Green's
property didn't last, but he and
his wife still receive $1,000 a
month from oil.
Since the first well was brought
in 10 years ago opening the Armstrong field, more than 1.850 wells
have been drilled, including both
wildcats and field, wells.

UK's latest addition to its physical plant, the Medical Sciences
Building at the A. B. Chandler
Medical Center, Is full of Interesting features not to ue found In
other University buildings.
For example, there Is a unique
shower system In the upper floors
of the building where laboratory
classes will meet. Overhead shower
units, with drains in the floor
beneath them, have been placed in
the hallways at strategic intervals
near laboratory classrooms.
If a laboratory student accidentally gets some imflammable or
acidic material on nim, he will run
to the nearest shower, grab a
chain handle, and literally hang
on for life while water rinses the
dangerous material off him.
"We're going to be the cleanest
people at the University," quipped
Richard Wittrup, University Hospital administrator.
Also placed at regular and frequent intervals throughout the
building's hallways are loudspeakers mounted on the walls. These
are part of a public, address system that will be need to page
doctors needed immediately at the
hospital or at othertparts of the

center.
On the second through the sixth
floors are lecture rooms, each containing about 150 beats arranged in

When the lecture room is darkened, and the small room is lighted, students in the lecture room

can see Into the small room, but
persons in that room cannot see

This situation Is advantageous to
patients when they are being used
in a class demonstration.
The
instructor will give his demonstration in the small room and the patient he uses will not be conscious
of 150 persona watching him. The
patient will frel at ease and the
demonstration will look natural.
On the fifth floor are two rooms
In which the temperature and humidity can be maintained at a constant level. These rooms will be
used for laboratory work which requires this condition.

The Medical Sciences Building
has one feature that definitely cannot be found in any other University building. It is a cold storage
room where cadavers are kept.
Recently, a Kernel reporter was
being taken through the buildin?
by a medical colege staff member.
The man pointed down a hallway
on the ground floor and remarked:
"The cadaver

* Money Well Spent
We note with relief that the University has decided against construe-in- g
an overpass at Euclid and Harrison Avenue and has selected the
idea of an underpass as a much more
sensible plan for that intersection.
If you recall, last year plans were
drawn up for the overpass, which was
to have been architecutral and practical monstrosity to say the least; it
was doubtful, judging from the mazes
and puzzles one had to figure out
in order to cross the intersection, that
it would have been touched by human
feet.
The present plan has a much more
realistic appearance and difference in
the cost between the underpass and
overpass is actually negligible; it requires a raising of Harrison and
Euclid Avenue near the intersection.
The underpass will accommodate
much of the student traffic to and
from the girls' dormitories, although
it should be conceded that girls going
to the Student Union cafeteria both
for breakfast and evening meals will
not take advantage of the underpass
since it would be too inconvenient.
The increase in the number of students crossing Rose Street during the
day calls for attention from the University also; both sorority and fraternity row, the men's dormitories,

Cooperstown, Shawnectown, and students living in private homes have
flooded that street with student
pedestrians.

These colleges would be the last
institutions in the world in which one
would expect educational freedom
and thought would be suppressed or
even discouraged. They have been
held before our lowly eyes so often
as examples of the ideal colleges that
we have developed a mass inferiority
complex.
But a shocking truth was revealed
yesterday. These colleges can be just
as hypocritical as any other and suppress academic freedom just as much.
We refer specifically to Princeton
University and to the case in which
the compiler of the "Unsilent Generation," a most controversial book in
1958 about the beliefs of 11 Princeton students, will be released from
that school because he failed in his
duty as a "good citizen."

The moot point was that Otto
Butz, an associate professor of politics, had edited and published the
essays in which three questions were
asked of each. They were: "What do
you want out of life" "What do you
want to contribute to life" and "How
do you relate yourself to the future

ever-increasin-

to the new Medical Center and the
need for safety measures such as an
underpass or two is clear. We would
not expect the University to stop its
safety building program merely at
Euclid and Harrison and consider it
finished.

The one real danger spot presently
is at Rose and Washington Streets,
where students from both dormitories,
from the married residences, and from
the football houses are constantly
crossing. With the addition of the
new dorm now under construction,
the situation will be multiplied

Another potential death sector is
near the Fine Arts Building, across
from the sorority houses. Besides
sorority row, many independent' students live in that section ano continually dash across the street in
neglect of the stoplight located at
Columbia and Rose.
We feel that every cent or dollar,
if you please spent for safety and
convenience is well worth the cost.

of your country and mankind?" Some
of the answers were considered radical and some were filled with sex

and drinking.
The university president said that
taking this sort of interest in students
was not in accordance with the
"standards of the faculty." That
damning statement, if representative
of the method many other colleges in
the nation are treating such cases,
brings up a most important question
in the survival of academic freedom in
universities. Just what are "standards
of the faculty" and how are they to
be judged?
We do not know all the details of
the Princeton case, but it has the
immediate sound of professional jealousy. If they are punishing him for
the expression of student thought because it was bad publicity, then it is
equivalent to covering a dirty face
with makeup and inventing justifications for doing it.
For a school which strongly revolted against the loyalty oath proviso of the National Defense Education Act, Princeton has now displayed
the height of hypocrisy. It objected to
the loyalty oath because it said the
government does not have a right to
require what you believed.
And, whenever those Princeton
educators criticize Kentucky for being
such a lowly member of the states
in education, there is no cause for
worry. We need not be ashamed.

An Ignoble Princeton
The tradition of the Ivy League
college in America has been one of
dignified students, unlimited academic
freedom, and an independent educational atmosphere; this tradition has
been blazoned across the nation in
splendor and has given the Ivy League
a reputation of erudition.

Cheating At UK
If you took Jerome Ellison's scholarly word for it, you would conclude
that cheating is running unbridled in
our nation's colleges and universities
and that academic honor has virtually
if not completely disappeared.
Ellison is a former University of
Indiana professor who has expatiated
on the enigma of college cheating in
the current issue of the Saturday
Evening Fas. His article is absorbing,
to be sure, and is replete in its indictments of college students, administrators, and faculty mcmlers.
lie says, for instance, that one college student in every three cheats
regularly; that the ethical standards
of college youth are "rather sad"; that
the principal form of cheating is
plagiarism; that fraternities contribute
much to this college "disgrace"; and
that many teachers condone it.
The allegations were so positive
that at times you wondered if Mr.
Ellison believed them himself or was
merely exaggerating in order to
frighten the American public into instantaneous action over cheating.
Nevertheless, his charges are real
and widespread enough for comparison at the University of Kentucky,
where two cheating incidents during
the past semester have received statewide publicity and where a large
enough university exists for discussion
of the issue.
UK President Frank G. Dickey, for
example, pointed out that, although
the article might create much worthwhile discussion, it was exaggerated
in many ways; he said he could not
be sure that the remedies suggested
in the article are as easy as they
appear.
President Dickey evaluated the two
recent cheating incidents as "not as
serious as most of us believe" ami not
representative of the honor at the
University.
Other college deans and depart-

mental heads held tenaciously the
same contention. They believed that
claiming one of three college students
clieat was a generalization and could
not possibly lx? verified.

Dr. Maurice Hatch, head of freshman English, said there has been no
noticeable increase in student dishonesty in that department in itcent
years at UK. He asserted that of 1,958
students enrolled in freshman English
this semester, only around a dozen

have been caught cheating and mctrd
