L. Donovan. The Engineering Experiment Sta- -, tion was allotted half of the appropriation for theoretical and applied industrial research and the remain-- I ing half to other University departments and divisions for general research projects. The, annual report of Dr. L. A. Pardi-.edean of the Graduate School and chairman of the University research fund committee, show-- ; ea the results of the stimulus. The renort shows that approximately 40 UK faculty members currently are engaged in research projects fin-- I in whole or in part by the E30.000 general fund. Many others have already been completed, Projects Related To State A few of the research projects di-- ! rectly related to Kentucky as a state and making important contributions to the existing knowledge of the Commonwealth's history and literature are a "History of the Hemp Industry in Kentucky" by Dr. James F. Hopkins, assistant professor of hitory. and a "Guide to the Pronunciation of Kentucky Cities and Towns" by Dr. Neil Plummer, head of the Department of Journalism, In the field of letters, material has been collected for two books on the Kentucky novelist, Elizabeth These Include a Madox Roberts. biography of Miss Roberts by Wood-- ! ridge Spears, English instructor, and "Seeing Them Through the Press: Elizabeth Madox Roberts at Work," by Dr. Herman E.

Fees for the two credit course are $13 for Kentuckians, and $26 for students. ' ' ' te search appropriation is a collection of early Kentucky maps. Photostats or originals of approximately 300 maps not previously in the King Library's collection have been obtained, making the UK library the best map source in the state for Kentucky history to 1S30. Equipment Is Valuable Grants to the Department of Chemistry from the research fund also have permitted the purchase of new equipment necessary to several fundamental studies now being carried on by UK chemists and graduate students. The new laboratory equipment has a continuing value because it can be used for many years. UK scientists also have been aided In important research in the physical and biological sciences. A study by Dr. R. H. Weaver, professor of bacteriology, on the purity of Central Kentucky water supplies is still in progress. Examination of water samples from 30 Fayette County wells showed only two to be free from pollution, Dr. Weaver reports. In the field of education. Dr. John H. Melzer, assistant professor of philosophy. Is conducting a nationwide study on methods of teaching philosophy. The wide Interest already shown in the study by the American Philosophical Association indicates that it may have effects on the teaching of philosophy at the college level. These are only a few of the projects made possible by the research appropriation and ther will be many more because the University has been granted an equal amount for during each of the next research two years. pre-18- .

Forty-secon- ' Nine Countries Visited By UK Instructor In Three Month European 'Bargain Tour9 By Holton II. Mastin Imagine spending three months in Europe on $750! "All it takes is a will to stay away from places like the Ritz in Paris and the Savoy in London," says Arthur Grove, University of Kentucky cartography in- structor. Mr. Grove recently returned from such a jaunt to the Continent and added that he was able to see nine countries on that comparatively small budget. Included were visits to intriguing places such as Amsterdam, Bremen, Antwerp. Denmark. Sweden. Norway, Edinburgh, Lon- don. and Paris. One of the main purposes of the trip was to visit a close relative in Norway. Mr. Grove had heard of his Uncle Peder Kleven ever since his mother came to this country at the age of 19, and he had promised her that someday he would go back to Norway to see how she had lived as a girl. Shared Room Mr. Grove arrived in Antwerp on f ' on Arthur Grove a Dutch passenger-freighte- r. . 'Travelling in a converted freighter was far from luxurious," think, I found Paris to be very says Mr. Grove. "I had to share a clean," he said. "The streets were huge room with 48 other men.

So, while every-- : From Antwerp Mr. Grove boarded one else rushed for the Folies a squeeky European train for Brus- Bergere, he made a tour of the Paris sels but soon moved on to Paris. "I found a room with a French family for only 50 cents a day." he said. "Food was expensive even if you avoided the fancy restaurants. I stayed thirsty most of the time. It seems French people just don't drink water, and I didn't like tlie wine they serve with meals. And ahhhh. those leisurely meals! That's one thing we Americans could copy from the French. It may take a couple of pleasant hours to finish a meal there, but I'll bet they don't have as many ulcers." ' Ranks Paris High Mr. Grove enjoyed life in Paris so much that he stayed a month and delayed his visit in Norway with Uncle Peder. He ranks Paris as the most outstanding city he has ever seen, with our own Washington, D. C. running a close second. "Contrary to what most people sandwiches served on the train. Mr. Grove went on to Oslo and then toward Stugoflaten. Norway. Stugo-flat- en is a village summer resort, and Uncle Peder's farm was now only one mile away. Uncle Peder had watched all the incoming trains for three days. When Mr. Grove arrived in Stugoflaten. he saw a tall, wruikled man of some 70 years approaching him. With a broad smile Uncle Peder wel-- ! corned his visitor to Norway, and they walked to the large ln farm house situated in a little valiev. "Although mother had taught me to speak Norwegian as a child." says Mr. Grove. "I found I didn't speak the language fluently enough. This , meant I had to go through a process. When our started flowing more freely. Uncle Peder said the only way he had recognized me at the station was by my resemblance to his sister. "That's my mother, you know! It was especially interesting to see the very room where my mother was born shortly after the house had been built." Eats Six Meals Daily Mr. Grove is a few pounds heavier as a result of the Norwegian custtm of eating six times a day. "And heavy, stable food, too!" he commented. "There was always a lot of meat, potatoes, butter, cab-- ! bage. flat barley breads, and. of course, cheese. When a Norwegian wants to let his host know that he has finished his meal, he places a lump of sugar in his mouth. After that, no more food is passed to hun. Instead, he gets a cup of hot coffee which he sips through the sugar in his mouth. It serves the people as an economical dessert." Conservati.c old Uncle Peder had become quite attached to his nephew by the end of his 3C day visit and wished he could stay. But Mr. Grove had made plans fur a short stay in England and Scotland. "Everyone was very kind to me throughout the trip." he added. "Their impression of Americans seemed quite good. The only trouble I had was with currency. It was a real problem to convert just enough money to last through each of the nine countries." Mr. Grove is now back teaching at UK. He spends most of h:s evenings looking over his five hundred colored slides taken on the trip. "These will have to satisfy my yen for travel until I can save another $750," he stated sewers. "Why. it's a subway system in it- "We got into a self." he stated. boat at one end of Paris and went half-wa- y across twon." From Paii-s- . Mr. Grove moved on to Amsterdam. Holland. He was a little surprised to find the barns ' adjoining the farm houses, but When everything was immaculate. he asked one farmer why there were around, the old man rep'.:ed no flies in broken English that they used DDT.
